Two nations can settle their disputes in private and can thumb their noses at Geneva fireworks. But even Mexico and the United States seem to gain little amity by their isolation from councils and permanent seats. Just what has caused the latest row will be Professor Hackett's subject tonight at 8 o'clock in the Common Room of Conant Hall. Professor Hackett is a visiting lecturer from Texas, so he ought to know.

Abraham Lincoln comes in for attention even in academic circles. No amount of searching for dates can account for the recent burst of Lincolniana. Professor Morison is not to be outdone by the Chicago bard, and he will talk of Lincoln and secession in History 32b at 11 o'clock in the New Lecture Hall Aesthetic vagabonds who dread facts, and even I often do, can go to Fogg instead and see the Van Eycks in all their glory, for Professor Edgell is talking at the same time in Fine Arts 1d on Flemish painting of the fifteenth century.

The Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem and that of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem will figure on the screen in Professor Conant's 12 o'clock lecture in Robinson Hall today to Fine Arts 3a. Probably these two churches have been the goal of more vagabonds in history than any other buildings in the world.
