Work Praised
As Outstanding
"Dr. Werkmeister's work as a
lecturer and teacher of philosophy
has been outstanding," Charles H.
Patterson, professor of philosophy,
said.
"The department of philosophy
realizes that it is suffering a very
genuine loss as Prof. W. H. Werk
meister leaves the University to
accept a position at the University
of Southern California.
"During the years that Prof.
Werkmeister has been at the Uni
versity, he has made many no
table contributions to the welfare
of the department. Under his lead
ership, the department has grown
in size and in reputation. Patter
son added.
"Few persons have ever been
more successful in arousing the in
terest and enthusiasm of students.
His books and other scholarly pub
lications have attracted national
interest"
"His reputation as a scholar,
particularly in the field of German
philosophy, has attracted many
students to our campus for grad
uate work in this field." i

good fortune that has come to him, Easter vacation. Three fraternities

of the current semester to become
director of the School of Philoso

ern California in Los Angeles.
A native of Germany, Dr. Werk
meister came to the University as
a graduate scholar in 1923. Three
years later, he was named to the
University s instructional staff, re
ceived his Doctor of Philosophy
degree in 1927 and continued as a
faculty member.
In 1936 and 1937 he received an
assignment as an exchange prof-
fessor in Germany and in 1940
he was a guest professor at Bos
ton University. Dr. Werkmeiister
is the author of "History of Phil
osophical Ideas in America," i
book published in 1949.
"He is," Chancellor R. G. Gus
tavson said, "one of our topflight
teachers, researchers, and profes
sional authors." The University
administration deeply regrets
I losing Dr. Werkmeister's services,
the Chancellor said.
.tsetore assuming nis duties in
California, Dr. Werkmeister will

Convocation speaker Jean-Jac
ques JServan Schreiber told &n
audience of nearly 2,000 students
Monday that the United States
should recognize Red China and
take a realistic view of European
rearmament
The foreign editor 6f the Paris
newspaper Le Monde ("World")
criticised the assumption made by
the United States that 1954 would
be the crucial year in European
defense.
"Because of this unwise deci
sion, the burden of the rearma
ment program has suppresed Eu
rope's economic progress and we
are losing the real battle with
Russia," said Scheiber.
He explained that in spite of
Kussia s jag behind Europe in
standard of living now, at the
present rate of economic progress
me soviet union will reach Eu
rope's level in two years, and then
go on to surpass it.
Schreiber fears that in a cen
eration the Soviet world's output
will be so great that "should the
Russians raise the Iron urtain,
Europe might be forced to colse
it," because the economic appeal
to Europe's masses might be to
great to counteract. In order to
avoid such a turn of affairs
Schreiber said that it is necessary
to seek a balanced economic out
look in Europe.
With regard to his second criti
cism, Schreiber said:
"In this nation you believe that
proval of that country s govern-
to recognize a country means ap
ment. This is not true."
To illustrate the point that ne
gotiations are sometimes desired
by other, nations, but not nut into
eiieci untu some sign of willing'
ness is snown oy the second na
tion, he said that Yugoslavia's
ommunist Politburo had a faction
willing to negotiate with the West
in 1945. This was not taken ad
cantage of at that time, he said,
thus delaying the eventual break
with Russia.
For this reason. Schreiber said
the united States must leave a
door open showing willingness to
negotiate with Red China. Such
negotiations, he said, would separ
ate Red China and Russia in time.
If these two countries are al
lowed to remain united, they will
iorm a strong empire with which
the west could not cope." The first
objective in the Far East, there
fore, must be the settlement of the
Saying that the agreed with
Korean war.
U. S. foreign policy four-fifths of
the time, Schreiber declared that
the French agree with the policy
of strong resistance to Commu
nism and willingly follow the
leadership of the United States.
He said, however, that the United
States should expect some advice
from the followers.
"U. S. entrance into the Korean
conflict," according to Schreiber,
"in effect told . Russia that the
United States will not tolerate
agression." This, he said, is
something that the Russians can
understand for they fear an all
out war.
