64 WINNETKA TALK January 14, 1928 | Constantinople and Athens Turn Modern {Continued from Page 44) Robert College in Constantinople of the room were the more precious pieces, with circles of jewels in the bottom of the cups and bowls sticking out like warts. Indeed, in the midst of all this fabulous wealth, there was scarcely an article of real taste or beauty. The Turks know little of such things. A better taste was left in our mouths by a visit we made just before the steamer left, to Robert College where the riches of character are being formed for the Turkey that is to be. Maybe no single force in the nation can be named that has had and is hav- ing so great a part in the forming of the new Turkey as this American Christian institution on the hills above the Bosphorus. Two days after we had been in Constantinople we were in Athens. I was intensely interested in Athens for I studied Greek all through high school and all through college as well as in the Theological seminary. I remember my high school Commencement oration on "Pericles, the Athenian," To "do" the Acropolis and the museum and the Agora and Mars Hill was a day never to be forgotten. But I must be brief. Let me just say this, that no man should put himself down as endowed with no love for art till he has gone to Athens. I could have spent a month just gazing at the perfect symmetry of the columns of the Parthenon, and the little replicas of her friezes I could have studied by the hour. It is some- how a medicine for a hectic American soul. We need inducements to medita- tion. I found them in Athens. The modern city is a thriving place. The public buildings made of the fa- mous Pentelican marble are strikingly handsome. Just north of the Acropolis we were shown a section where Amer- ican students are beginning to dig for a lost library. The old and the new are blending there. If only Greece can keep her head she has another mighty future before her. The boat rocked as we drew into Naples. Therefore I arose at noon. We spent the afternoon there in Italy's largest city. Indisposition plus a per- fect surfeit of sightseeing prompted me to limit my activities to shopping in the city. I wish I had bought a dozen pairs of gloves instead of three. A salesman for a big Chicago store tells me that the pair I paid a dollar and a quarter for would cost six from him. So it was with pictures and jewelry. I saw Vesuvius smoking. Some of the party rushed out to Pompeii and rushed back, fearful every moment they might miss the boat. I am going to see Naples and Rome and Florence and Milan some other time. I went this time to see the treasures farther East. When I landed in New York I had a little declaration sheet of things that Uncle Sam regards as having value. It totalled $37.80 including a table cloth I bought my wife in Paris and a bag I bought in Naples to carry all the knick-knacks in. The Customs In- spector looked at the list and then at me, and without as much as opening a bag, he passed me through. I wonder if somehow he guessed that I was bringing back within the chambers of my soul such riches as no man can measure of the things that are unseen and eternal, laid up where neither moth nor rust can consume nor thieves break through and steal, nor customs officers inspect. If you want to get rich quick, invest $1,037.46 as I did and live on it all the rest of your life. Old Time Printers to Hold "Franklin" Meeting Saturday Charles Dennis, 823 Greenleaf ave- nue, Glencoe, of the Chicago Daily News, will discuss "Some Remarkable Features of the Career of Benjamin Franklin" at the forty-third annual banquet and ball of the Old Time Print- ers' association this evening at the Stevens hotel.
