Ruihven Tells Freshmen Modern Youth
Is Again Being "Sold Out" By Elders
* -
Forsaking the customary welcom-
ing amenities for an open discussion
of the problems arising from Europe's
war, President Ruthven told 2,000
freshmen gathered in Hill Auditori-
um Sept. 19 that youth was again
being sold down the river by the
elders.
The younger generation will be left
to clean up the debris left by those
who at present govern and guide the
world, the president pointed out, and
in order to bring peace again in-
telligent and impartial citizens are
needed.
Deep love of democracy, and tht
ability to see through floods of propa-
ganda released by belligerent nations
are keynotes of future good citizen-
ship, both in times of war and peace,
Dr. Ruthven said in the course of his
speech. Hope for the future should
not be abandoned, he added,?for de-
spite errors of the past, thiere re-
mains the opportunity to rectify these.
mistakes, and above all to order our
own thinking.

several new books during the 1939-
1940 school year and at the same
time announced that three new
books have been issued during the
summer.
"What To Read," the third of a
series of Alumni Reading Lists de-
signed to give Michigan graduates
a clue to better self-education, was
published on Aug. 12. The book fol-
lowed two other alumni reading lists
which had been previously published
by the University.
Prof. Dwight Dumond's lectures in
University College, London, are con-
tained in another summer publica-
tions, "Anti-Slavery Origins in the
United States." Professor Dumond
advances the theory that the muzz-
ling of popular expression the South
made a battle by arms almost the
only practical solution to the slavery
question. He also infers that Lin-
coln was an abolitionist in actual
sentiment, rather than a man driven
to freeing the slaves because of poli-
tics..
and newspaper reports which w
published 100 years ago at the tin
of the conventions.
Another book which will appear
