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.

STATES AMERICAN
HISTORY DISTINCT
Instructor Tells Freshmen Na
tion Marked by 3 Cen
turies Frontier.
"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.
