A scientist speaks
• WHEN PROF. PERCY W. BRIDGMAN, noted Harvard University physicist, shut the doors of his laboratory to citizens of totalitarian states to protest the misuse of science by dicta- tor-controlled nations, he had a perfect right to do so. Our constitution insures each of us the right to choose his friends and his enemies and to open or shut his door to strangers at his own discretion. He is within his rights, it is true, but we feel he-has bitten off more than he can chew.
Don't take us wrong. We hold no sym- pathy for totalitarian states or dictator actionSi Time arid again we have'» deplored the-anarchy-—
and rule of force which prevail in international politics. But we do not believe a one-man cam- paign such as Prof. Bridgman's cry in the wild- erness seems to be,, will do any appreciable damage to the fortress that is Hitler, or Musso- lini, or Stalin.
We ask ourselves, why? Why does this outstanding scientist, whose work should be a benefit to all humanity, line up his scientific guns on one side of the political fence? What possible good can it do? The amount of scien- tific information which will be kept from the dictator nations will not be large. And he has done Americans a great deal of harm abroad, certainly. Idealistically, we have long believed that a sure road to international peace was a free exchange among scientists, students and the men of the arts. Friendships between peoples which can be built up by such means might some day be strong enough to over-rule enmities between governments.
This action by a distinguished American physicist is definitely a step in the wrong di- rection It is another expression of our Amer- ican self-righteousness, our "holier-than-thou"
attitude. Hardly a week goes by but some man in the public limelight struts through the columns of the press with the statement that ours is the only and the best government, that all others are hypocrites and barbarians. This tendency is reaching higher into the halls of our government and found expression only re- cently in President Roosevelt's brilliant defense of our democracy and Constitution and his Warning that we will not stand passive and silent while liberty is denied in other lands. To such as these, we say, "Put your own house in order!" Can we forget that He whose principles would give us the Great Democracy said, "Let him who is without sin cast the first stone"?
These half-baked attacks on other govern- ments and other peoples, what will they get us but hatred abroad? More and more we are slipping into the neo-Holy Alliance .of Great Britain and France. Soon they will have us lined up for that great war which, purporting to preserve the world for democracy, is likely to hurl our people into fascism or communism.
Even the idealistic President Wilson was smart- er than these; he spoke over the heads of gov- ernments to the peoples of the Central Powers, promising them freedom and justice. Our 1939 idealists are alienating the peoples too and giv- ing their governments more and more basis for the hatred of us which their propaganda seeks to arouse.
Let us not hide domestic ills under the
banner of foreign policy. We lament Prof.
Bridgman's unwise action and Ave deplore our government's apparent desire to reform the world to our way of thinking. We would not, however, lift a finger to hinder Prof. Bridgman from keeping out totalitarian-state citizens, for then our action would be breaking down the very principles of liberty which we would pre- serve for our own people.

* * * # The marriage course
• CAMPUS SENTIMENT is generally in ac- cord with the suggestion made by the Fiat Lux last week that a course in marriage should be added to the Alfred curriculum next year.
The case has been cited, in some quarters, of an eastern college which instituted a course in marriage about two years ago, which, al- though it is still in evidence, is technically a failure because the person in charge was not mature enough to present the course.
The Fiat Lux believes the conditions for such a course in Alfred are favorable. There would be no trouble in selecting a mature, poised, well-informed member of the faculty to present this. The Alfred student has noticed the addition of this course to the curricula of other colleges, and desires the reliable informa- tion such a course would give, which is import- ant and necessary to young people.
This course, to be effective, should be care- fully planned, well-integrated and in the hands of the right person or persons. Along with the addition of this marriage course, the Fiat Lux is in favor of making the Hygiene course, now elective, required for all freshmen and there- fore a prerequisite to the junior and senior elective course on marriage.
It is surprising that Alfred University, which is known as " t h e match box," has no course in marriage.

• BOB BEERS '40, is president of Theta Alpha Phi and Footiight Club and quite a dramatic actor. A combination of things kept Bob from trying out for the recent production, "It Can't Happen Here," so other able shoulders bore the big parts in the play.
Bob, however, was dressed up in a boy scout suit as a Corpo private, and given one line—in fact, one word,
"Attention!" At the dramatic moment in dress re- hearsal when Beers' line was due, the man who played leads in "Pygmalion," "Winterset," "Juno" and others, muffed his one word!

• INSPIRED by last week's production of "It Can't Happen Here," Al Nutter offers another poetic con- tribution to College Town:
One man inspired By National ideals
Striving for National betterment ; And then
One man drunk with lustful power.
Fascists marching—marching—
Politicians emoting—emoting—
Propaganda shouting—shouting—
Mobs fighting for a seeming ideal How easily they are swayed.
Political platforms built of nebulous s t u f f ; Plank after plank apparently supporting—
Something for nothing—
A human weakness.
Something for nothing They will never get.
