president of Aberystwyth College Major
Davies writes
THE armistlce has been signed and
the statesmen of the nations will soon
assemble to undertake the task OF con-
ardently hope will herald In new
world, freed from the menace Of war.
Out of their deliberations our supreme
desire is to see established a league Of
free peoples, for the maintenance OF In
ternational right and the enforcement
Of International duty. Beyond all ma
terial PREPARATIONS and all territorial ad-
justments this founda ton Of a righteous
peace among civilized States may prove
to be the most permanent and most val
liable result Of the war;
THE plenpotentiarles at the peace
conference can lay the foundations Of
the league of free peoples, but they can
not rear the temple Of peace. That Is
the task of the coming generation, and
for its achievement we shall need con-
secrated energy: good will, knowledge
and enlightened public opinion In all
countries. Old problems must be con-
fronted In new spirit, insular and
vested preJudlces must be removed, I'M
derstandng and federation need to be
greatly developed. 1t Is an immense
task. and n myriad agencies will be re-
qulred to discharge It.
Among these must be our universal
ties and our own University Of Wales
whose sons have so freely laid down
their lives in the morning of their days
and whose memory our little nation will
wish to cherish for all time. II has oc-
CURED to my sisters and myself that
the University OF Wales and the coun-
Gil Of the college may be willing to allow
us to found a chair OF International
politics at Aberystwyth In memory OF
the fallen students Of our university. for
the study OF those related problems OF
law and politics. OF ethics and eco
Monies, which are raised by the project
of a league of nations. and for the en-
enlargement Of truer understanding
of civilizations other than our own. We
are prepared to contribute for this OBJ
iect the sum OF 100000. and we would
be glad. II our proposal is accepted, that
the chair should be associated with the
llustrlous name Of President Wilson"

-HB students Of Riverdale Country
School. New York city. are rejoio-
ing over tho strength Of the bas-
ketball teams Of this year. This was
indicated In the victory last Saturday
over the Collegiate School by very
close score of 81 to 20. The contest was
the fastest ever seen on the Riverdale
court in the new gymnasium and was
not decided until the very last moment.
The play at the end Of the first half was
10 to 13 and in the second half one
side and then another was ahead. The
final points were scored on goal from
the field.
Riverdale has been struggling upward
In basketball for come little time.
Previous to the opening OF the new
building last year the school had had
no proper facilities for playing and SO
the teams had not developed to any
appreciable extent. This year for the
first time they are playing teams of
first calibre, and though the Collegiate
victory fs only the second the school
fellows feel very much encouraged at
this result Saturday afternoons are
given over TO basketball, and usually
two contests are played on the gym
nasium floor between first teams and
second teams from the same institu-
tons In the second team last Satur-
day Collegiate was tho victor by a
score of 10 to 16. This contest also
was fought through nip and tuck, and
until the very last moment neither side
was the victor.
Rehearsals for The Milsado," which
Is TO be given on the afternoon and
evening Of Saturday, March I, are pro-
ceeding vigorously under the direction
of Frank Lea Short. the dramatic coach
of the school. and OF Jaffrey C. Harris.
the head Of the music department. The
first act has been completed and the
work upon the second act Is Just under
way. Tho proceeds OF THE Milsado"
are to be given to relief In the Near
East This fact has spurred the sale
Of tickets to such an extent that the
entire seating for both afternoon and
evening seems to be sold. The tickets
are not TO be finally turned in by the
students until next Monday. but indi-
cations from the present demand are
that there will not be enough to go
round.

duct'on to be given within the school
