Lord Halifax was cornered by reporters shortly before his ad dress to the crowd of over 2,000 and made interesting frank com ments. Asked if he had noted evi dences of isolationistic opinion in the middle-west, Lord Halifax hesitated, then replied, "I have noticed great differences '.of opinion, but here, as everywhere I believe, people are beginning to realize more and more the small ness of the world." Great Difference. When queried as to the differ ence in British and American col leges, the lord reported that the (See INTERVIEW, page 4.) I : f - ! ; J . !

Take World Responsibility "The responsibilities of tomor row's world rests upon the shoul ders of young university students like you people before me now," the Earl of Halifax told a large student, faculty convocation who crowded the union ballroom yes terday afternoon to hear the ad dress of England's ambassador to the United States. Chancellor C. S. Boucher intro duced the tall, distinguished diplo mat to an audience of approxi mately 2,000 who listened atten tively as the chancellor announced the various honorary titles be stowed upon Lord Halifax. Among these was the chancellorship of Oxford university. Oxford Aim the Same. Lord Halifax stated that the aim of Oxford was the same as that of the University of Nebraska, .to train the minds, hearts and imagi nations of students and to help them to become good citizens by playing the part they should play in deciding their nation's future. Universities should give large amounts of information to stu dents but an even more important aim is to provide them with the ability to make correct judge ments concerning this information, commented the Britisher. "Know what you believe in and be willing to stand up for it whether other people believe it is right or wrong but first, develop the judgement which will enable you to distinguish between the genuine and the counterfeit," Hali fax told his listeners in his clipped accent. Governmental Procedure Different In referring to the relations be tween the United States and Brit ain, Lord Halifax stated that altho the presidential and parliamentary governments differed in procedure their aims were the same. Halifax pointed out that the world was by no means thru with difficulties, all of which must be handled with patience, perserver- ence and wisdom if the world is to be set back in proper order. Emphasizing the economic and social collapse of many European countries as a result of the war, Halifax noted that the world has changed more rapidly during the past 40 years than it had in the previous 4,000. Urging the inspiration of nation alism as a construc'ive power for the good of the world, Halifax said that men must strive for some thing greater than himself. He compared a university student's loyalty to a school society with his loyalty to the university as a whole, to an individual aiming for self gain instead of working to promote the progress of his state or family.
