Man Lauda Mustapha Kemal "ln Mustapha Kemai the new Turkey, whic h h~s just recently been declared a republic, has a vigorous, inspiring a11 d capable leader," according to J' rof. Clyde L. Grose. Dr. Grose, who j, associate pro{essor of history and dire ctor of the. summer school at ~. ·rt hwestern iliriversity, recently returned, with Mrs. Grose, from a trip ( l\ cr Europe, atnong the most intert:'l ing points visited being ConstantiIIOp le.

Prof. Grose's topic was, "ConstantiJI(')tlc. Three Months Ago," and the gn a lt'r part of his address was de' ut t d to descriptive material of .great charm.

Furthermore, all too often the AmPrican traveler only meets thr actual Turk officially, and finds him courteous and pleasant. while he j, overcharged by the Greeks and :\rmcnian s in t~e shops and offices, and he vents h1s wrath upon them \\bi le prai ~ ing the Turk. Fu~ure Not Promiaina "Turkey is not to pass out of existence. as we thought a few years ago, but it is to be doubted whether her future is as promising and certain as usually . expressed in the articles of correspondents. She has arisen from ruin s large ly the disagrec:m·etlts and Ql forth s must arise, if at all, by her own efforts and by a decided break with her own past. She is taking son:te good steps; her tnergy and' senousness are noteworthy; and I hope that the years may show that my fears as to her future are not justified.
