Journey to England
Shows Rotten Golf
Courses Says Marni
"Golf courses in England are
rotten compared with ours," Dr.
Archimade Marni, of the depart
ment of romance languages, stated
concerning one of his recent trips
to England. "An American golfer
would lose a dozen golf balls on a
typical rocky, rough, English
course.
"We landed at Plymouth, Eng
land, the very first part of June,
Professor Marni accounted "which
is, Indeed, the very best time for
seeing it. All that the English
poeis ana noveusui nave wruieu
about the luxurious meadows and
marvelous beauty of Dovenshire
and Summerset counties were seen
at this point at their best.
Professor Marni is a native of
Italy, living in that country for
twelve years he has naturally
made five or six trips to various
filaces in Europe. A trip to Eng
and thru Wales and Scotland was
his most recent trip to Europe.
"English country colleges were
covered at this time of year with
flowers of all colors sometimes
trailing up to the very window at

According to Prof. Marni the
friendly atmosphere created by the
English people adds a great deal
to the enjoyment of the trip. How
ever, it was evident that there was
a great deal of deception concern
ing the physical comfort enjoyed
by the average Englishman.
Scotch are Witty.
"Besides the ordinary places of
interest we traveled thru the com
mercial centers," he continued,
"thru Birmingham, and thru the
lake countries in Scotland. Con
trary to fact we found that the
Scotch were very witty, as I no
ticed in the bathroom of a fashion

Towell, Manager."
"A trip to England should be a
part of the education of every stu
dent of English literature," he
stated. No one has seen real sub
ways until they have ridden on the
London subways of three or four
levels. The ridiculous walk of the
guards in front of Buckingham
palace would get a laugh even
from an Englishman if he did not
worship his loyal majesty so much.
A visit to the Westminster Abbey,
which looks more like an over
stuffed museum than a pantheor
would tax the learning of half
score of college professors. One
can never foreret the English ca
thedral countries which appeared
more beautiful to me than any of
the continental cathedrals because
of their sinplicity of ornamenta
tion. All of these things could not
helo but influence and make a lit

the English student."

Use of Anesthetic.
He told of the . first time an
anesthetic was used and how a
battle raged for three years in
London as to whether or not it was
right to permit the alleviation of
pain when pain was, according to
the popular conception "a thing of
God's own province." Finally this
theory was blasted on the Biblical
basis that when the famous rib
was removed from Adam he was
thrown into a deep sleep. Since
this act was drawn to the public
attention popular opinion accepted
the use of anesthetics as according
to the gospel.
From that day until this there
have been efforts made to suppress
the truth of science. Professor

true spirit of the American na
tion. He stated that our pioneer
fathers were imbued with ideals
which have manifest themselves
throughout the years In the estab
lishment of universities, schools,
museums, libraries and all sorts of
philanthropic enterprices. "At the1
very time foreign nations are pro
claiming us nearness, ne saiu,
"w are pouring millions into the
Orient in missionary ana pnnan
thropic work."
Spiritual Leader.
He maintained that impulses of
this kind cannot help but manifest
themselves in the political policies
of the nation. In this respect he
proclaimed the League of Nations
not the ideal of Woodrow Wilson
hut the fundamental Impulses of
the American heart which were
thus reflected.
As a spectator in the streets of
France on the day tnat wooarow
Wilson arrived in that country,
Dean Blayney said he felt that that
dav was the greatest day in the
history of this country because at
that moment America wfta iuc
spiritual leader of the world.
In regard to the Individual citi
zens Dean Blayney mentioned two
distinct kinds of patriots. The
first is the blatant i atriot who
thrills to the sound of the drum
and brags of his country but who
is unwilling to support it in a time
of crisis. The other type Is the
studied intelligence of people who
know the ideals of our country anil
the part it is playing, in interna
tional affairs.
Have Ideals.
- "A country without ideals could
never have entered the war with
Spain as we did, at the bequest of
the American people, in the name
of human rights and justice." In
spite of our reputation for greedi
ness, he pointed out, we lert Ha
vanna without asking any pay and
we found that city a dirty hole
and left it. at the expense of leap-
ordizing the lives of some of our
best physicians, a neaitmui ana
beautiful city.
As another example or American
idealism he pointed out that at the
close of the Boxer rebellion tne
United States refused to accept the
millions owing to it from China
but requested that they use this
money for the education of its
citizens.
At the close of his address Dean
Blayney described the American
altar as he saw it with the foun
dation atones of human rights and
human justice. Placed upon these
are the stones representing home,
school, church and law. Above
these he placed the three brancnes
of our government, the legislative,
executive and judiciary branches.
Topping this is a dome on which
the letters "Service" are inscribed.
Inside the structure is placed the
American flag. To him this por
trays the American ideal ana ne
feels it Is a formation possessing
an ideal that is worthy of perpetu
ation and deserving of protection.
Traveled txicnaiveiy.
Dean Blayney spent many years
in Europe in France, Italy, bpain
and Germany. He has also oecn
in China, Japan and India. After
eight years in Europe, during
which time he did not see the
American flag, he is an authority
upon the sentiments of the peoples
of those nations in their attitude
toward America.
After arriving in Lincoln Tues
day noon, he made a detailea tour
of the state capitol and stated that,
although he had been in lour con
tinents, he had never seen any
structure to equal It In the origi
nality of the design and the per
fection of detail. He stated that
he thought it typified the middle
west and its struggles and aspira
tions. When the president of Wesleyan
university at Middletown, Conn
heard of the J3.000 budget for the
Junior prom there his ire was
aroused. "Witn so many men oui
of work," he told students In an
address, "this is too much to spend
for a good time."
