It is a curious, although natural thing, that the West has always had an interest in the East, ranging from the practical ideas of traders to the romantic notions of poets. For most of us, however, the East is thought of as a new discovery; a discovery that begins with the thrilling adventures of Marco Polo. Few realize the ancient connection between China and the west; that trade between Greece and Korea throve in the first century of our era; that in 1307 Pope Clement, V. constituted Pekin an archepiscopal see in favor of a missionary Franciscan: John of Montecorvino, or that purely Mongolian types appear in some of the Sienese paintings of the thirteenth century.

All of this is by way of preface to the fact that today a student vagabond has the opportunity of hearing about the East in fairly early as well as modern times. Unfortunately, however, he must choose whether he will hear Professor Usher in Widener U on trade to the East in the sixteenth century of Professor Hornbeck in Harvard 5 on the United States war and treatles with China in the years 1844 and 1858, since both of them come at 9 o'clock.
