V Q- igx x I . ,y Ee Cfufe enes AMERICAN ECONOMY: INDUSTRIAL GIANT IN LILLIPUT' The third lecture in the series was delivered by Dr. Raymond W. Morgan, Professor of Business Administration and Co-ordinator of the Social Science Division. Dr. Morgan's lecture was entitled American Economy: Industrial Giant in Lilliput . The lecture served as part of the program for Frederick's annual Religious Emphasis Week, which used a theme this year dealing with the role of the Christian and the Church in Business and Commerce in America. Dr. Morgan's lecture was concerned with the economical aspects of America, past, present and future. Dr, Morgan put forth the idea that the America is an industrial giant and Whether or not We have reached our industrial capacity is debatable. Dr. Raymond Morgan POPULAR AMERICAN MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT FRENCH LITERATURE Professor Walter Harris, Associate Professor Modern Languages brought forth a lecture entitled Popular American Misconceptions About French Literature which proved to be an enlightening clarification of some of the ideas Americans have traditionally held concerning the validity of French Literature. Prof. Harris began his lecture with a background into the ethnic origins of the language and traced the progression of the French literary movement from its beginning to the present day existen- tialists. Prof. Harris aroused much controversy within the school by tracing the English literary movement and language to the French, dating with the Norman Conquest in 1066. His statement that most Frenchmen consider Shakespeare's works to be barbaric and uncouth brought some unrest to the audience, particularly those noted Shakespeareans on our faculty. The lecture was concluded with readings in French from the drama, poetry and novel by students. Those participating were Seniors Roberta Gibson and Rodney Johnson g Juniors Liz Anderson and Mary Jo Wimsatt. K Prof. Walter Harris DEMOCRACY AND MARXISM IN LAND OF CONFUCIUS Dr. Margaret Shen The final lecture was presented on April 22 by Dr. Margaret K Shen, Chairman of the History Department. Dr. Shen spoke on Democracy and Marxism in the Land of Confucius. Dr. Shen felt that Marxism would have no far-reaching effects in the Far East. Democracy can prevail in that area depending solely upon the way in which the West exhibits itself to the people in relation to the teachings of Confucius. The modes and traditions of these people must be taken into consideration when we begin spreading the doctrine of Democracy to them, in order to avoid upsetting a way of life which pre-dates ours by hundreds of years. We must remember that the center of life in the Far East is the family and we must gear our teachings toward it. The fact that Communism has not really won in that area, despite its con- stant agression, is adequate encouragement when we look at the free Chinese Republic in Formosa. They are a constant people, set in their ways, and unwilling to move or give up their past overnight for a new ideology which teaches against all that has been inherent in their civilization for centuries.
