1IIH the oedGn OF george 60
n ward Woodbury. on January
NV 2 we lost one of the most
important personalities in
American literature and ed
ucation. Those who knew his work and
his influence will not think this an
exaggerated appraisal of him. be-
heve that in the history of our culture
his place will be so high that even
those who did not meet him face to
face will understand the rareness Of his
gifts and qualities.
AS q teacher of poetry his influence
was felt in various parts of the country
and at different periods of his life, but
remember him from my undergrad
uate days at Columbia, where he taught
from 1891 to 1908. I have known
other teachers who captivated youth
and opened their eyes to truth and
beauty, but I have known no teacher
whose method or whose success was
just like Woodberry's. So far as I can
recall, he was ignorant, of any peda-
gogical science. His voice was so low
that it hardly reached to the last row
of benches, and he was so near sighted
that he could not see what was going
on in the class room. Moreover, he
chose to lecture to his students on a
plane of high seriousness, assuming
that for them as for him the MASTER
pieces Of poetry and the deep things
Of life would be Of consuming interest.
Such subject matter, presented by q
teacher so unemphatic, ought to have
been, suppose, the occasion for class
room disorder, or at least for inatten-
ton. When went to Columbia there
was, indeed, a legend that his FIRST
classes, in the early COS, had found
something ridiculous in this dreamy,
soft-spoken man who conferred with
them about the spirit of Shelley, or the
imagination of Milton, or the moral
grandeur of Sophocles, or the divine
myths Of Plato. Those first students
upon In surprise and sorrow Woodberry
gathered up his books and his notes
and took refuge in his study.
He told me of the incident wears
after, when he no longer was at Column

and said he understood there had been
trouble in the class. Indeed there has

asked Mr. Woodbury. what han
pened next, but he had forgotten.
When entered Columbia in I896 the
students who elected his classes made
1t their custom to leave free the hour
before his lecture so that they could
go early and get front seat, within
reach of his soft voice. He frequently
came to classes late, but he was the
only professor We always waited for, no
matter how late he should be.
Others have described his teaching.
and though I think their accounts are
most inadequate, had no hope that NV
own attempt would be more successful.
For the art OF poetry-the word-music,
an extraordinary sensitiveness. / have
met no writer who In such matters was
more severe with himself, or more COM
scientious when commenting on the
writing OF his students, or more illuni-

mating when his subject was the crafts
manship of the masters. Yet the mat
ter of the poem was always more to
him than the technique and the spirit
more than the matter.
He had unique gift for making even
an unread youth appreciate, at least to
a degree, how in some passage of Shake
speare or Keats very human expert
ence had produced In the poet a poetic
emotion and how that emotion dictated
the form of the poem. Many of us
learned in his class room what artists
frequently have to re-learn-that the
mystery Of technique cannot be acquired
from the outside, but must grow out of
the roots Of the experience which the
artist hopes to express.
Assumed Kindred Devotion.
Every time he entered his class room
you had the impression that he was
about to discuss the most important
subject In the world, the subject nearest
his heart. He took it for granted that
we shared his devotion to poetry. I be-
lieve that this compliment spurred us
on to crave an intelligence we certainly
did not possess. And though we did not
always understand the suhtleties of his

viction that they were not beyond our

TT IS possible that Lord Irwin, vice.
roy and governor general of India
since 1925, will 60 down in history
i as the satrap who decided the ulti-
mate goal of midas destiny at
time when the British ruling race was
of two minds on the subject.
One says possible" because two
things are not altogether certain. One
is that a successor to the Macdonald
government at home and viceroy Of a
different caliber at Delhi will not re-
verse the recent Irwin declaration that
British rule in India Is directed toward
eventual full dominion status for the
Asiatic community of 300, 100000; the
other Is that the aforesaid empire will
last in its present form long enough
to allow the inevitably protracted and
extraordinarily complicated process OF
political and social evolution in that
vast and teeming subconttnent to be
completed.
We are not here concerned, however.
with the exploration OF an enigmatic
future. It is suf1cient for our purpose
to know that the British viceroy is
head of an executive machine which for
q century and a half has successfully
controlled the destinies of India and
that Irwin himself sees the tenure Of
a. viceroyalty as only drop in the
great river Of the life Of India and that
he works for a prosperous and contented
self-governing India within the British
Empire because he believes that on that
achievement may In great part depend
the relations which our children's chill
dren and their grandchildren will see
existing between the great civilizations
of East and West.

lofty conception and that confident
outlook, which is chiefly why this very

DR.. James Brown Scott, secretary of
the Carnegie Endowment for Interna-

sion of international law, has issued a
report on the opening of the Academy
of International Law of Havana and q
history of its founding.
DR.. Scott, as president of the Ameri-
can Institute of International Law, ex-
planned its purposes
II consider the role Of the Interna-
t1onal Academy of Havana not merely
the exposition of international law and
the diffusion Of its principles but bring
ing together the Old and New Worlds
IN close and intimate collaboration for
good understanding, which will newt
ably result in better international

The academy will not compete with
the universities, either of America or
OF Europe; its purpose and practices
VIII be to discuss the questions and
problems Of international law and of
international relations where the uni
versities leave of, and to offer ad-
vanced courses and training which are
not TO be had in any institution of
learning OF the present day
The most important purpose of the
academy will be to bring the interna-
tlenalistS OF the two worlds together
This can be done by inviting those who
have given courses at The Hague
Academy of International Law, estab-
lished by the Carnegie Endowment for
International Peace, to deliver courses
at the Havana academy. I would sug-
geSt that the members of the Institute
OF International Law should also be in
vited to lecture before the Havana
academy, In order that the younger in
stitution should from its beginning have
the benefit of their learning, wisdom
and experience
THE result would, be to keep in
touch with European Thought and prac-
tice, and Europe, In its turn, in touch
with American practice and American
IDEALS
DR., Scott was positive In his state
ment that whatever superficial differ
ences there might be between Europe
and America, they were, nevertheless,
one In origin and one In purpose, so
that both could and should 'collaborate

THE entire code on the conflict Of

approved by a large number of the

were pulling in opposite directions. And
then the mutiny broke out and by the
time 1t was through, in the late sos, the
British government had decided to take
over the home government of India.
1t gave its representative on the spot
the twofold title of viceroy and COVER
nor general, the distinction being that
the satrap Is referred to as governor
general when he is regarded as the
statutory head of the government of
India, and as the viceroy when he is
regarded as the representative Of the
sovereign.
Usually viceroys are chosen from dis
tinguished men who have been promi-
nent in public and political life in
England-soldiers, statesmen, diplo-
mats, ex-cabinet ministers. A large
independent fortune is also qualifica-
ton nowadays, the viceroy getting only
$100, 900 a year, out of which he has to
bear all expenses, including the cost
of public and private entertainment.
Once a Rich Post.
In passing it may be noted that in
the old days the governor general got
$125, 900 a year official salary, plus spe-
ciaI expenses, plus anything he could
make on the Side-and if he were so
disposed he could make lot. One Of
the early governors amassed a fortune
which brought him In 100000 year
for life. and he defended himself by
asserting that only his moderation pre-
vented him coming away with much
more. Oflcial salaries of $4,000 a
year-a huge sum for those days
were common. And any number of
men went out broke and, returning
with fortunes varying from S1,000.000
to 10000 900. bought great estates and
lived thereafter in princely style.
But despite the power and prestige
attached to the office, the highest in

posed reductions first, Senator Howell
said he felt they should at least take
that step.
The NebraSkan enumerated some of
the things which he says the merger
bill would enable the company TO do.
He pointed out first that 1t would au-
thorize issue OF additional stock, pre-
ferred or common. In such amounts as
the Utilities Commission may approve,
with or without par value. Senator
Howell said he does not object to pre-
ferred stock issues for the purpose OF
carrying out improvements, but thinks
the common stock should remain rs at
present.
Another advantage which the Senator
said the company would get under the
bill would be the provision under which
stock heretofore issued would be deemed
as paid up and worcestershire, which
provision, the Senator said, would in
clude any stock which may have been
issued as stock dividends.
Senator Howell said the existing char
ter makes stockholders liable for debts
of the company and that this would be
changed by the bill He added that the
bill also would exempt companies from
the La Toilette anti-meTger amendment
which limiteH the extent TO which al
outside corporation could acquire hold
ings in a local utility.
At present, the Senator declared, the
companies have TO cOale TO Congress foI
charter reviSions, and this bill would
permit changes 10 be made In the char
ter upon the approval OF the Utilities
Commission.
Senator Howell has an amendment
pending, modifying the original bill In
several respects. which he will offer ir
the form of substitute, whenever the
question Is taken up in the Senate.
Under the Howell amendment the
utilities commission would be allowed
to authorize the company TO issue pre-
ferred stock for the purpose of carry
ing on extensions and improvements
but it would have TO have q par value
OF 500 per share. The bill, as reported
by the committee, would permit the is
suance OF either preferred or common
stock, with or without par value.
Another change in the Howell sub
stitute affects the section relating TO fu-
ture changes In the charter. Under
the Howell substitute the company
could amend its charter, with the APP
prOval OF the commission. In order tC
provide for the issuance of preferred
stock only and for such other changes
not inconsistent with the act. The COM
nnittee bill used hrnader terms in deal
tng with amendments to the charter.
