New Trend In Sti Is Result Of Ejy Lf, iiij7,ik Trhe E iuropeana a W s ets on university life in Great Britain and Germany were this week de- scribed for the benefit of Ameri- can readers by the official news services of both countries. Brithi Sh S des Serious C Crowti of a "co rpotatc spirit" in British iriivers ities has been one of the most satjsia ctory developments of the Wiar. in the opinion of the British Library of Information. "Undergraduates have always hadl an affe-tion for (heir own university ident Thought War 5British S Q' P CT JR NI , , ' tws and have neen anxious to assert its' superiority to other universities," the propaganda agency declares. But the wartime student, in the partial English statement, has a stronger and more intimate sense of a "com- mon interest in culture." Today's British undergraduate is seen by the Library as being much more aware of the university as a force in the life of society. "much more serious in his view of the pur- poses that universities serve." The release praises such bodies as the National Union of Students and the International Students' Service which "express and mobilize this new spir- it." The Union of Students, the Library relates, has just issued a special appeal that, universities and univer- sity students should be specially con- sidered during the national emer- gency. It points out that great diffi- culties have been caused to students because of evacuation measures; sev- players and from speaking at high school meetings, and making manda- tory the keeping of public records of financial aid received by all ath- letes at member schools.

Nazi Univesitips Reopen German higher education will re- surne its full scope this week when more than 30 universities and tech- nical colleges which closed at the out- break of the war reopen their classes, the German Library of Information, a division of the Reich's Consulate in New York, announced. Such universities as Berlin, Mu- nich, Leipzig and Breslau are ex- pected to renew their regular curricula, the Library declares, al- though a few of their medical de- partments will be excepted. Various technical schools, specializing in soil culture, world ti'ade, economics, for- estry and agriculture, have been or- dered to continue, the Library's report says. Newly acquired territories will also gain educational facilities, according to the Library, for "in Posen, now re- stored to Germany," a new college, to assume the character of a university, is to be inaugurated. Sixty former residents of the "Baltic countries" have been assigned to this institu- tion. The Nazi source reveals that the war has diminished the number of foreign students in the Reich to 1,941, of which 45 are Americans. This aca- demic year, it concludes, will be divid- ed into three terms "in order to ex- pedite the education of youth seeking to establish itself in the learned pro- fessions." Perspectives' Asks Material For Next Issue If you have been able to coax one more short story, essay, play or poem out of your typewriter before start- ing your cramming for exams, .Per- spectives would like to consider it. The deadline for submission of manuscripts is tomorrow, according to James Allen, '40, and Harvey Swa- dos, '40, co-editors of the campus literary magazine. Contributions may be left at the English office in Angell Hall, the Engineering English office or the Publications B'uilding. There are no taboos on the types of material writers may submit. The editors welcome short stories, short shorts, plays or radio skits, any form of poetry and either formal or in- formal essays. An attempt is being made this year by the editors to give a brief criticism of each rejected manuscript. Each contribution is read by one of the committee and, if it merits it, is passed on to the board of editors for final selection.
