Attendance
BY PIIEE MORTLOCK.
Tall, slightly stooped, but with
a warm personality belying the
typical icy Britisher, Lord Hali
fax spoke to an unexpectedly
large student audience in the
Union Thursday.
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

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.
