Dr. N. S. Hardikar, grad., of Hubil,
India, writes of the early history of
India in the first article of a series
of two about that country.
The German scholar, Max Muller,
author of The Religions of the East,
once said: "If I were to look over the
whole world to find the country most
richly endowed withall the wealth,
power and beauty that nature can be-
stow, I should point to India. If I were
asked under what sky the human mind
has most fully developed some of its
choicest gifts, has most deeply ponder-
ed on the greatest problems of life,
and has found solutions for some of
them which will deserve the attention
even of those who have studied Plato
and Kant,-I should point to India."
This description may or may not be
true of modern India, but it is true of
ancient and medieval India and by
omitting a few of the words from the
above description, it may be applied
to India today.
It is" impossible for anyone to take
up every subject belonging to a coun-
try and discuss it thoroughly and sat-
isfactorily in limited space. Even so
I shall venture to do that with the
sole idea that those who are interested
will get some information at least. In
writing these articles I shall endeavor
to give the general Hindu viewpoint
along with the opinions of some of
the western authorities. I shall be
willing to answer any queries that mayI
happen to arise, or talk with anyone
on matters concerning India and her
people.
The empires of Egypt, Rome, Greece,
Syria, and other countries Iie in dust
today. India alone has survived. When
the north -of Europe was yet in abso-
lute darkness, when the Roman em-
pire was not even dreamed of, when
the Anglo-Saxon races, the forefathers
of Americans, were living in caves,
and tatooing their bodies, eating raw
flesh and wearing the skins of animals,
India had a history.
It was then ruled by the Aryans
who migrated from the Caucasus, and
who defeated the aborigines in exactly
the same manner in which the Euro-
pean settlers drove the Red Indians
farther and farther west and settled
down themselves.
These Aryans ruled the country
peaceably till the fourth century, B.
C., when Darius the Great, of Persia,
invaded the country near the Indus.
The richness of the country attracted
the king, who conquered a piece of
land near the Indus and established a
small kingdom, but this was soon over-
thrown by the native kings. Later in
the third century, B. C., Alexander the
Great invaded India. After his re-
turn, however, his army was defeated
and no kingdom was allowed to be es-
tablished. The Turanians, the White
Huns, and the Bactrian Greeks invad-
ed India in the Buddist period.
Then the peace and independence of
the Hindus was not disturbed till the
eighth century, when the country was
invaded by the Afagans, who were fol-
lowed later by the Great Moguls.
These invaders ruled for six centuries,
the natives suffering, but still retain-
ing their native characteristics.
In the fifteenth century the wealth
of India attracted the atteption of
Europeans, Columbus and Vasco De
Gama going in search of this land of
fabulous riches. Vasco De Gama
doubled the Cape of Good Hope and
reached India. The Portuguese, the
Dutch, the French, and the nglish
came to trade with India an finally
settled.
The English, under the power of the
British East Indian company, became
masters of the land within a short
time. The company's power was trans-
ferred to the crown in 1858 when
Queen Victoria' became empress of
India. India, the land of the Aryans
and Hindus, is now ruled by the Eng-
lish.

One hundred comfort bags, contain-
ing small luxuries and comforts for
the soldiers at the front, were filled
through the work of the committee
last semester. These bags were sent
to the New York clearing house in
February to be shipped from there
as soon as shipping conditions per-
mitted to the American fund for
French wounded in Paris. This or-
ganization will distribute the majority
of these bags among the men in re-
serve at the French front.
Letters are being sent out to the va-
rious league and sorority houses ex-
plaining the nature of the work and
urging that all women who can pos-
sibly make arrangements contribute
side candidates. This notice should
not be considered as an intimation
that these circumstances will arise
this year.
All applications for these positions
should be in the hands of Professor
F. N. Scott, on or before February 28,
in order to be considered. Each appli-
cation should contain a statement of
the experience of the applicant and

cant's eligibility card and and any
