Other universities in the United States have inaugurated courses in the native tongue of those coun tries engaged in the war. A course in military German has been offered in many colleges for ROTC students. Lack of Interest. However, the modern language department here is essentially the same as prior years with French. German and Spanish as the omy languages taught in the univer sity. The administration has of fered courses in Danish, Nor wegian, Italian, Portuguese, Czechoslovakian and Russian for this semester, but only a handful signed up and the courses were abolished because of lack of in terest. All of these languages offered have been taught at UN before except Portuguese. There are in structors here who can teach the languages but there was little in terest in these languages when students registered this fall. C. H. Oldfather, dean of the college of arts and science, pointed rut that if there is sufficient in terest next semester courses in modern foreign languages may be pursued by students. At least a dozen students must sign up be fore a language will be taught. Military German. Many colleges this fall are teaching military German so that the future soldiers will understand German documents and orders. Altho the faculty must vote on it, Dean Oldfather believes that his college would allow such a course to serve as the language requirement if such a course was taught here. Enrollment in the modern lan guages dropped a great deal this semester. French dropped the greatest as the 115 students en rolled is only a little over half of the total last year. There are 338 students taking Spanish com pared to 364 last year. German is the only course holding its own, as there are 306 enrolled com pared to 308 last year.

This has given him an unusually rich background for interpreting the underlying issues of the present world situation. A long period international experience has equipped him to do this. Caught for a month in h ranee by the German occupation in June, 1940, Robert Mackie and nis lam- lv finally managed to get to Switzerland, and then thru south ern France and Spain to Lisbon. There they were able to get passage on a Portuguese ship which landed them in New York ust two months after they first left Geneva. In 1937-38, Mr. Mackie was chairman of the Chinese student relief campaign in Great Britain, and later, on his visit to China, was able to see personally the work of the student relief com mittees in the heroic reconstruc tion of university life which is taking place there. On his return to Geneva he became a member of the European Student Christian Federation and International btu- dent Service. This gives him an intimate knowledge of the tragic situation among European stu dents and prisoners of war.
