UNIVERSITY NOTES
Reception in Honor OF DIR. Wiuifred
CULTS OF London University

A delightful informal reception was
held in the Billings library Monday
In honor Of DR.. Winifred Cults. profess
sor Of physiology In the University Of
London. DR.. Cults spoke to the guests
before the reception, telling of the object
OF her visit In this country. The feeling
OF the university women Of England, ac-
cording to the speaker, was that the
calamity of war could be avoided to a far
greater extent. IL nations could be cdu-
Gated to see one another's viewpoint The
common ground is naturally that provided
by knowledge, shared equally by all ma
tions. 1t Is in this field that the univer-
sites can help. Already there is a nation
al association OF college women In this
country and in England. 1t is, therefore.
much easier to start some international
association with the machinery already
at hand. To know another nation, one
must not go simply as a visitor but as a
worker; to work among people Of a ma
ton other than ones own Is to see and
feel matters from a new vantage point.
DR.. Cullis cited as an example of this,
her discovery that the Congress Of the
United States, especially the Senate. in
debate on the treaty, did not represent
the feeling of the nation. She had to live
among us and work with us to find that
our attitude was quite different from that
reported In her country. In regard to the
international association, Dr. Cullis said
that draft constitutions had been made
out by Dean Gildersleave of Barnard Col
lege. chairman of the committee on this
side. and by DR.. Cullis. herself. as chair
man OF Englands committee. This COM
Ing June there will be a convention, the
second in this matter, which will incor-
porate and constitute such an association

Of students. There will be one committee
in charge Of postgraduate exchange and
another for exchange Of professors and
lecturers. In behalf Of her country. the
speaker asked that those, who might be
sent to England, should persevere until
they should break down the barrier of
reserve, the contrast between English re-
, serve and American hospitality is at first,
rather marked. Having once become
friends with a first-hand knowledge Of
one another. nations may in time. come
to a state in which they may understand
and therefore, be more tolerant.
Following the address. an informal re-
ception took place. In the receiving line
were Dr. Cullis, Dean WATSON. Dean Per-
kins, Dean and Mrs. Tinkham. Light re-
! freshments were served by the home eco
