'Victory? Armless
Work of Art.
(From the Summer Texan.)
In the old library building at
the foot of the atnirs and standing
broken armed and headless is
Poliorcetes's statute "Winged Vic
tory of Samothrace."
The piece of sculpture is a work
of art an acknowledged compan
ion piece to "Apollo" or "The Dy
ing Gaul," or the rank and file
of the old masterpieces of classic
origin.
But more than that and bring
ing the case home the statue af
fords occasion, even for the pass
erby, for a little real thought.
Last year, someone had written
on the base of the shattered re
plica: "God Help Defeat!"
The parallel is good. The jester
who wrote those few words may
have come upon his parable after
some lengthy and involved
thought.
For there stands "Victory" shat
tered, broken and for all practical
purposes useless to herself. Yet
victorious.
And this student had wondered,
writing: "God help defeat!"
Today some of the greater na
tions of the world are happily
meditating on a course of thought
somewhat closely following this
student's. A year ago, Great
Britain followed the same tack in
refusing to force an issue with an
imperialistic Italian nation the
forcing of which issue might have
p'unged the world into mass con
flict. Italy went on to overpower a
relatively helpless nation and ob
tain her economic ends. Britain
may or may not have lumped her
"national pride." But she did
seemingly avert war.
Today in Spain the die is cast
again and under the guise of
Spanish civil war, a fratricide of
ports, communism and fascism are
locked in a sanguine struggle. The
charnel house that is Spain today
may yet envelope the world at
large and thought by the college
student invariably the first line
of national defense-as well as by
those men who guide a nation's
destinies would not be amiss on
the potentiality of war and it.s
fruits.
So following strictly a layman's
viewpoint, logic in the case of
those larger countries who are not
Immediately concerned -and this
country in pa.ticular can fall
into a channel remarkably similar
to the thought that Poliorcetes'
etntue in the old library building
provokes.
A bully, who, left alone may ac
complish selfish and unjust ends
at the expense of the weak, might
be annihilated by a courageous
crusader, who stands to gain little
from such a collision and is little
concerned with the issues at stake.
But should the crusader take
violent issue in the matter, emerge
victorious and in so doing lose
his arms and the sight of his eyes,
the thinker wonders if his gen
erous cause was wise in its own
pelf destruction. "Winning the next
war," as foreshadowed in the last
one, will cost the victor little less
than the vanquished.
So we, who look to the great
armed camp that is the world to
day and wonder as to the extent
of our course in such proceedings,
may think back to' Poliorcetes'
shattered statue and wonder if
issues concerning us from many
degrees removed furnish provoca
tion enough to warrant our pre
cipitation into a general if gen
erousconflict. We as potential combatants
may wonder if victory at the ex
pense of a deleted man power and
a shattered moral and economic
structure may not be great enough
odds to demand a more thoughtful
course which, remembering the
losses encumbering even the vic
tors of the last world struggle
may cause us to look on the
"Winged Victory" and refuse to
mount the same pedestal

president of the Carter White .Lead
company which later sold out to
National Lead. He, however, con
tinued as president. In 1910 he was
made vice-president of the Nation
al Lead company and six years
later became its president. Since
1933 he has been chairman of the
board. The former Nebraska is
also a director of the Chase Na
tional Bank, the Anglo-South Am
erican Tr.ist company, and is the
chairman of the board of the Pa
tino Minei and Enterprises Consol
idated. According to Prof. H. P. Davis,
chairman of the department of
dairy husbandry at the University
of Nebraska, the man who is re
sponsible for interesting Cornish
in the university, the New York
er's herd contains some of the
greatest names in the Jersey
world. His purebreds as a whole
rank the top for their high butter
fat production. Says Professor
Davis:
"Mr. Cornish used as a founda
tion for his herd the Sophie Tor
mentor line of purebreds, consid
ered the beat for production In
dairy circles. In fact, his animals
represented most of the promi
nent families in the Jersey breed.
Production was paramount with
Mr. Cornish, but as a breeder he
was skillful in being able to pro
duce animals whose physical qual
ities were prized and admired. His
Jerseys won several medals of
merit as well as a good many gold
and silver awards for their pro
duction records. Perhaps Mr. Cor
nish's most famous aire was Fig
gis's Oxford Noble, who had 25
daughters which averaged 750
pounds of butterfat. Among the
20 animals that he has given us
are a son, a grandson, and a num
ber of cows closely related to this
great sire."
Sought Aid Progress.
Professor Davis said Mr. Cor
nish was kind enough several
years ago to loan the university
one of his fine sires for breeding
purposes, and through this associ
ation with the institution he be
came interested in the dairy hus
bandry department's own herd.
When Mr. Cornish recently dis
posed of his purebreds, he wanted
to do something for the state and
for the university which he be
lieved was making progress in its
dairy cattle development, all of
which prompted this recent dona
tion. The 20 Jerseys which Professor
Davis received several days ago
came directly from Mr. Cornish's
beautiful country estate, North
gate farm, which overlooks the
river at Cold Spring on the Hud
son. They now form a valuable
addition to the Nebraska herd at
the agricultural college campus.
A sister of Cornish, Mrs. Anna
Metcalfe, resides in Omaha, while
a brother, Albert, who died sev
eral years ago, was a member of
the supreme court bench in Ne
braska. His home was in Lincoln.

Prof. C. K. Morse of the ex
tension division was in Denver the
past week speaking each day on
the role of education in the Amer
icas, a part of a series of special
lectures being sponsored by the
University of Denver dealing with
the general theme "Public Affairs
in the Americas." Professor Morse,
wha has been a student of Latin
American history, was a member
of the survey party which ana
lyzed the educational system in
the Panama Canal Zone and as
sisted in the writing of that re
port. He also has visited schools
in Old Mexico, Haiti and the Re
public of Panama.

12th and Q
BY MARJORIE CHURCHIILL.
It's" a Jamboree! And by bus,
auto, boat, air, bicycle, and on foot
they come 27,000 scouts from 25
nations to camp upon the banks of
the Potomac at Washington. Still
in the running, tho limping
slightly in their 12th pairs of shoes
come Juan Carmona and Rafael
Petit, whose hike of 8,000 miles
from Caracas, Venezuela, carried
them across a jungle region never
before crossed by a white man.
It's primarily a peace movement,
with all major countries except
Germany, Italy, and Russia repre
sented. As to political significances
whether Court Reformists or the
liberal element in the donation of
the ground by congress, harbored
any slinking notions as to the
renovating and rejuvenating ef
forts of the descent of 27,000
"good-turn-a-day-ers" on conser
cative politics or graybeard insti
tutions it's a random guess. But
at any rate the capital city has
taken on new life, and the liberal
ism in those assembled is seen in
the "swapping" of everything from
wood carving from the redwood
country to wooden shoes from Hol
land. The risky business of being on
the wrong side of the political
fence, or, more explicitly, of being
a wise-cracking bystander, was
dramatically demonstrated in the
recent speedy leavetaking of Ken
neth Bon, former ace candid
camera man of the Nebraska
campus and later newspaper pho
tographer in Omaha. Bon departed
hastily from Honduras, with Hon
duran officials at his heels to
speed his departure, when letters
to friends containing wise cracks
about the "comic opera" country
were inspected by officials. He
took a shot at the country's poli
ticsbut he also took photo
graphic shots of politicians, cock
fights, and the like, and is back in
the United States with seven rolls
which escaped confiscation.
It's a "hot time" they're having
in the quick turn-overs and rightabout-faces
of French politics,
with "Killer"' Chautemps (whose
name means "hot time") doing a
Dr. Jekyll-Mr. Hyde presto-chango
from the role of killer In which
he has been cast since the riot
ings accompanying his fall from
premiership three years ago, to
his present position as second time
premier. And with him as min
ister of finance comes Georges
Bennet, believed also to have been
implicated in the swindlings with
which Chautemps was charged.
Can this be substantiation for the
age old adage to raise your boy
to be a gangster; he'll grow up
and be a politician?
Can it be that the supply of cats
in Bilbao has been consumed?
Does the invasion of this city for
the first time in 700 years repre
sent exhaustion of this war-time
delicacy? History and Mark
Twain have it that a 125-day siege
of the city by the son of the orig
inal Carlist pretender in the nine
teenth century was repulsed by a
people living almost exclusively on
"cats and sea-gulls."
With the Revolution in ladla
came rats, snakes, snake fat, and
such to the bill-of-fare. Our
American Civil war brought a diet
of horse meat to many a southern
soldier. But with Spain, wartime
extremities seem to have signified
cats.
Graphic description of the al
leged cat-complex we find in "In
nocents Abroad," where, attached
to an account of Spain's capture
of the Moorish city, Tetuan, is the
explanation of how it was later
given up "But she never gave it
up until the Spanish soldiers had
eaten up all the cats. Spaniards
are very fond of cats. On the con
trary, the Moors reverence cats aa
something sacred. Moors and
Spaniards are foes forever now."
