The battle of socialized med
icine started in England as far
back as the 17th century.
Albert Rosenberg, University
English instructor, is writing a bio
graphy of Samuel Garth, physic
ian and poet of Great Britain in
the time of Queen Anne. Garth
wished to give free medicine to
the poor.
He was opposed not only by
pharmacists of the period, but
also by some of his own col
leagues. This faction felt that
prescriptions should be filled by
pharmacists and sold to the

patient. Garth, on the other
hand, thought writing free pres
scriptions meaningless because
many of the patients were too
poor to buy the drugs.
As a poet, Garth enjoyed great
popularity during his life, but
upon his death he slipped into
gradual obscurity. "Dispensary"
was one of his better known
works. It dealt largely with the
quarrel over free medicine.
Rosenberg intends to make this
biagraphy an illustration of
Garth's life as well as a social
history.
The project was made pos
sible by a grant from the Uni
versity Research Council, an or
ganization which sponsors sum
mer research and faculty travel
grants. Rosenberg has gathered
all the information on Garth he
needs here and now wants to
obtain first hand information in
Great Britain.
Rosenberg has completed t
study of Sir Richard Blackmore,
another London physician and
contemporary of Garth. Black-
more led the faction which op

College students today ask bet
ter questions and seek more basic
answers to the problems of life
than they did five years ago, a
visiting university pastor re
marked Friday.
Dr. James Boren, president of
the National Association of Pres
byterian University Pastors, at

the insecurity resulting from the
crisis in the world situation. The
present conditions, Boren said,
seem to lead students to the "basic
roots" of living.
University pastor at the Uni

and Saturday conferring with
students, administrative offi

workers and local ministers, as
part f a nationwide survey of
the importance of religion on

Boren reported that the most

Small To Lecture
At Pharmacy Study
Dr. La Verne D. Small, associate
professor of pharmacy, will lec
ture on the topic "Carcinogenesis
and Chemotherapy of Cancer" at
the University of Minnesota's 15th
continuation study course in phar
macy March 3-5.
Small will discuss the basic
chemical agents producing cancer
and chemical agents treating can
cer in his talk.
The study course is sponsored
annually by the college of phar
macy of the University of Minnesota.
""Wartime Marriage" was the
title of the "Better Living"
series informal discussion led by
a panel consisting of Dr. Don
Clifton, instructor of history
and principles of education;
Joan Krueger, editor of The
Daily Nebraskan; Jerry John
son, president of Innocents,
AGR and Kosmet Klub; and
Ernie Bebb, Corn Cob and
Union board member.
The first problem was pre
sented by Ernie Bebb. A couple
was going steady and later became
pinned. The boy was then ordered
to go overseas. Should the girl be
faithful?
Comments from the attending
students came to the conclusion
that since this couple had talked
about engagement but decided
against it, they should take the
pinning lightly. That is, they
should be able to date while
apart, or not be pinned at all
while he is away.
Johnson presented the problem
of a couple pinned who became
engaged as a result of his going
into the service. Should this cou
ple get married before he goes
overseas, or wait till he returns?
The problem remained for the
the individuals and length of time
they had known each other.
The couple is supposedly set
tled in problems of religion,
finance, children and parental
problems. They have known
each other a long time and were
engaged when the man was
taken into the service.
The student entering the dis
cussion mentioned the fact that
many problems might arise after
the man returned from oversets.
He might not be the man the girl
had married before he left the
States because of the changes war
had made on him. In this case
the student concluded, I think it
would be the wife that should try
to understand him and help him
adjust again. One should give it
a fair try before separating, she
concluded.
Clifton asked the question
pertaining to this problem,
"Would a girl like to be a widow
or sweetheart? Most coeds
would give immediate answers
widow, but that would change
with the Individual." There is a
security that men have over
seas when they are married, and
this is good for the personality
of both the man and wife. If the
man's in the States the chances
are greater for getting married
than if he were to go overseas,
he added.
This problem summarized the
adverse points brought up by th'
students and the general opinion,
If too many chances are taken
the marriage might end in a di
vorce, a student commented.
In this case it would be a bad
situation for the child specially,
but if the couple has a child,
they might think more seriously
about breaking up their home
than if they had only them
selves to consider, he said.
Another student stated, "I don't
feel that the mother can be both
mother and father to the child.
Sometimes the wife lives with
the grandparents while her hus-!
band is away and the grandpar-j
ents and mother have difficulty
rearing the child, therefore I be
lieve that the family should wait
till the husband returns from the
service."
In concluding the discussion
the question was asked, "If con
ditions are right, how many feel
it is right to get married in
wartime?" Twelve students
voted In favor of marriage, one
- was definitely against wartime
marriage and one was unde-
concerning a family before the ,Darel

played in the relgious groups and
programs on campuses.
Friday noon Boren met at
Presby house with 25 representa
tives of University organizations
to discuss the importance and sig
nificance of religion on the Uni
versity campus. Existing religious
facilities and programs were
evaluated in an effort to deter
mine the Influence of religion on
the lives of college studep-ts.
He also met with Chancellor
Gustavson; Dr. G. W. Rosenlof,
dean of admissions; Dr. T. J.
Thompson, dean of student af
fairs; Dr. Carl W. Borgmann, dean
of faculties; and Dr. Mataice C
Latta, assistant professor of eco
nomics. Boren spokes on KNUS; Uni
versity radio station, Friday aft
ernoon. On Thursday he met with
the Search Week committee and
officers of Presby house.
The University was the last
of three state universities to be
studied by Boren in the college
religious survey. University of
Minnesota and Montana State
university were the other two.
Since 1944 he has been a stu
dent pastor at Minnesota as well
as director of the Westminster
Foundation for the Synod of Min
nesota. As head of the foundation,
Boiren coordinates work of Pres
byterian student groups in Min
nesota colleges.
Before the war he visited col
leges in Europe and the Far East,
surveying religious activities.
During the early part of the war
Boren was a prisoner of war in
Bangkok.
