The cartoonist and the Countess
were married on the Leviathan last
October after whirlwind mid-At-

brought an earlier separation action

charges in court today and decision
was reserved to permit both sides to
file briefs Friday.

Plea for Freedom
lat Phi Beta Kappa's
BOwdOin CHAPTER

Especial to the Kennebec journal
Brunswick, June 23.-With a plea
for freedom from prejudice and mis-
understanding. and for the virtue of
an open mind. Professor Charles H.
Grandgent of Harvard Tuesday aft
ernoon spoke at the exercises held in
the First Parish church commemorate
ing the centennial of the Bowdoin
Chapter, Alpha of Maine, of Phi Beta
Kappa. Professor Grandgent opened
his address, which was entitled
Hospitality Sitting with Gladness,"
with description of New England at
the time of Longfellow graduated
from college, of his quest for broader
intellectual experience, and of his
dominant trait-hospitality and par
ticularly spiritual hospitality.
The impulse to stay alive and the
impulse to learn are the propelling
forces in our development" said Pro-
fessor Grandgent, the appetite for
knowledge growing with what it feeds
on" But there are obstacles. inner
impediments that We create for our
selves, which are always hindering
US in our search for knowledge. He
pointed out that as In the old-fashioned
rural New England house there was
always one room with it's shutters
closed, so there are rooms in our men,
tai houses which are closed to the
light. This, in most cases. is due to
collective opinion. to custom. Some
fragment of free will must be left us,
despite all the encroachments of pre-
destination, heredity, and environ
ment," said Professor Grandgent, but
this we are willing to offer up as a
sacrifice to conformity. Standardized
ton and organization are our twin
gods, organization being our saviour
in time of need, our plague at the
vastly more numerous times when it
is not needed. We organize just for
the sake of organizing. If two Ameri-
cans should be cast on desert island
they would straightway proceed to or
Ganize society with president and
a etary-treasurer" We let collec-
tive opinion do our thinking for us.
which leads us to close the windows
not only on our own particular feeble
ness would prefer to Seep shut, but all
those. as well. whose opening might
let in too much light on the collective
weakness of humanity. Because of in
dolence and cowardice collective opin-
ion is able to enforce it's DEGREES.
"Of. all the ills that beset us in this
life" concluded Professor Grandgent,
1.-The most exhaustive are those which
arise in ourselves. OF all our self
imposed penalties the severest is an
ger. nearly all of which springs from
ignorance. Open in time the eye of
reason If anger is to be avoided. Let
US look out upon the earth through
unshaded windows, and we shall find
it full of fresh interest, full of fasci-
mating problems. full of lives at some
point similar to ours, somehow en-
tering into our own circle And we
need never be alone"
