Bing George VI and Queen Elizabeth are shown here at the rail of their ship as they neared Quebec for the first visit a British monarch has ever made to AinerIca. The ship, the Empress of Australia, was delayed two days at sea by fog and ice. * * * * istorye Department Presents Varied Views On Rulers Vist By HERVIE HAUFLER England's King George VI and Queen Elizabeth have arrived on North American soil, the first British monarchs to journey here, and ex- planations of the visit by faculty; members in the history department range from that of a royal pleasure cruisento matters of profound world portent. Prof. Arthur L. Cross points out that the King and Queen were invited to visit America, and specifically to tour the New York World's' Fair. The usual British response to an Ameri- can invitation has been to send a prince. The Duke of Windsor, then Prince of Wales, and Prince Edward, later Edward VII, have toured here as good-will ambassadors of Eng- land, Professor Cross explained. 'Friendly, Good-Will. Tour' There is a 'danger, Professor Cross believes, of reading too deep a mean- ing into what in normal times might well 'be merely a friendly good-will tour. However, the journey of Queen Victoria to receive the title "Empress of India," he admits, undoubtedly stimulated India's patriotism to the British Empire. Rumors that the royal couple left England because of the imminence of Eurbpean war are called false by Professor Cross. Monarchs have : a heritage of being calm in the face of peril; he explains, and the British rulers would: encourage their sub- jects' morale rather- than flee from danger. Several professors emphasised the loose organization of the British Em- pire as an important reason for the' rulers' trip. Technically each domin- ion can decide whether or not to aid the' mother country in event of war. Thie union is becoming more and more one of good-will and economic relations, and the monarchs' visit serves as mortar to help in keeping the structure together. French-Canadian Problem The French settlers in Canada offer a particularly knotty problem in keep- ing that dominion favorable to Eng- land. French settlers demand a measure of autonomy, including the right to speak their own language, and are not enthusiastic in backing England's policies. The royal visit may serve to impress the French-' Canadians and swing them toward a closer cooperation with England. Prof. Dwight L. Dumond points out that the British spent great sums in introducing Edward, Prince of Wales, to the world, only to have him abdi- cate after a few months as King Ed- ward VIII. King George, however, did not travel widely as a prince and consequently does not as yet have the full sympathies of his subjects. Still another rumor which has been voiced is that the monarchs may be surveying the possibilties of a new seat f'r the British Empire, a capital to replace London, extremely valner- able to air attack. All professors who were interviewed agreed that the rulers' visit to the United States may be designed as an important step in the British drive to swing American support behind Eng- land and France. bury the dead." A great dispute still rages over the origin of the use of caps and gowns at Swingout. Prof. Edwin C. God- dard, of the Law School, believes there were no caps and gowns until long after 1889; but Prof. Arthur L. Cross, of the history department, says they were here when he came in 1890. Professor Moore, an authority on Swingout, said, "the origin has been Band To Give Top' Conert Modern Music Will Feature Tuesday's Program . The classics will give' way to music of a more popular variety next Tues- day evening when the University Con- cert band presents a free concert of modern American music in Hill Audi- torium, featuring a symphonic ar- rangement of "Deep Purple" in its en- tirety. In addition to "Deep Purple," the Band Concert will offer David Ben- nett, Jr., who will play a modern piano solo "Repartee." The selection was written by Mr. Bennett's father, David Bennett, Sr., composer and arranger of band music.
