Subscribe to European Student Relief. Some Fact About European Students. Over 6,000 students in Hungary are refugees; 12,000 refugees in Russia need help; these students have passed through great suf fering from war, imprisonment, epidemics and starvation. Great numbers of them are in bad health. Other countries in Central Europe are filled with refugees who are unable to find work which will pay them enough or are too undernourishec to continue their studies in schools and colleges. The student friendship fund is now operating in seventeen dif ferent countries and is serving 250 universities and institutions. In the past four years almost $1,250,000 has been raised by the European Student Relief. This money is given the Btudents for their own "self-help" establishments, such as restaurants, barber shops and repair shops which they run themselves. Employment bureaus, libraries, supply bureaus, work shops and other concerns are fostered by the relief fund. Five dollars given to the relief fund will produce daily food for 100 students, will pay one years tuition for two students, will buy two pairs of shoes or one suit of clothes. Today is the last day forthe relief drive on our campus. Sub scribe any amount at any of the booths located in the University buildings. It is a noble cause. Wear a tag.

"American history is distinct from that of any other country because for nearly 300 years there has been an American frontier," Prof. J. D. Hicks of the department of Amer ican history told freshman lecture students of the College of Arts and Sciences, Monday evening and Tues day morning. The subject of his lecture was "The Spirit of Ameri can History'." "The American frontier has done much to mould the characters of the American people," Professor Hicks declared. "Only those of great courage and endurance dared to at tempt to change the wilderness into cultivated land. "From the time of the first set tlers, who came over on the May flower, up until about 1890, there has been a western frontier. As that frontier was gradually being pushed further west, the history of this country was being made. "The frontier was the safety-valve of American unrest and the place of refuge for the oppressed. Peo ple could take up free government land and make their homes there. Democracy and individualism flour ished. Everyone was out for him self, and many private fortunes were made from natural resources such as timber, metals and furs. The pio neer worked for material rewards," he continued. TICEKTS SELL FAST .
