FINNS LIKE AMERICAN REVOLUTIONISTSSAYS DR. MORTON IN OPENING TUESDAY SERIES

"The people of Finland are likeour American ancestors of 1776and their amazing achievements inthe struggle with Russia are dueto the sense of personal responsi-bility which every man, womanand child seems to have," declaredDr. Rosalie Slaughter Morton inher lecture "The Fortitude of theFinns and the Danger of Persia"which opened the Tuesday EveningSeries ""at the CongregationalChurch.

Winter. Park's lecture platformwas never more fully justified thanby this presentation of informationand personal experiences aboutpeople who are now occupying thefront of the world's stage. Withevery bit of news from Finlandanxiously scanned by a sympa-thetic public it is not strange thatTuesday night's audience ••*.;wasraptly attentive to Dr. Morton'swealth of anecdote and description.

A tribute was paid to WinterPark by Charles F. Hammond, Edi-tor of Winter Park Topics, in in-troducing Dr. Morton, for itsunique resources in speakers ofauthority who could be called uponat short notice to discuss any sub-ject under the sun. Referring toher as a distinguished citizen ac-tively practising medicine and an

.author who had won international: fame through her book "A WomanSurgeq'n," Mr. Hammond specified

her special qualification to speakon Finland because of her visitthere and acquaintance with BaronGeneral Mannerheim. The Finnishcommander had read Dr. Morton'sbook and written her his apprecia-tion in the following letter;

Helsingfors, Finland,September 26, 1939

Dear Doctor Morton:Your book, "A Woman

Surgeon," has attracted mydeepest interest. The World—at the very least Europe—once more seems to wandertowards the inexpressiblesuffering's and heavy sacri-fices which yoti so brilliantlydescribe in your book. Alsowe in Finland have to be pre-pared to ward off the disast-ers.

With my very best wishes,I am yours,sincerely,

(Signed) G. MannerheimRosalie Slaughter Morton,

M.D.Winter Park,Florida.Incidentally Dr. Morton amused

her audience by telling them thatshe met General Mannerheim forthe first time not in his uniformand epaulets but with an ice packon his stomach,—for he was under-

going an operation for appendicitis.Dr. Morton gave a graphic des-

cription of the Finnish people andtheir ways of living and thinking.She pointed out their physicalhardiness which is due to constantoutdoor exercise. They are all fondof steam baths from youth up, andtop them off with a roll in the snow.They read and recite the same kindof heroic poems that young Amer-icans do, such as Horatius at theBridge. They have a high idealismand are willing to sacrifice evenlife itself for a noble purpose. TheRussians are dullards compared tothe Finns. Their great Finnishrunner, Nurmi, is an excellent ex-ample of their manner and thor-oughness in his perfect smoothnessof performance and freedom fromstrain.

Dr. Morton also told many inter-esting things about the Persiansand their beautiful country whichthe Russians covet and which thePersians under the leadership oftheir present extremely capableShah are determined to protect.

Carl Joachim Friedrich(Continued from Page 1)

Friedrich, recently contributed anoteworthy article to the AtlanticMonthly entitled "I Had a Baby,"which was widely discussed andquoted.

Carl Joachim Friedrich, Profes-sor of Government at HarvardUniversity, first came to the UnitedState»s fourteen years ago as a lec-turer at the invitation of a groupof progressive student organiza-tions. Deeply attracted by theAmerican scene ho left Heidelbergto accept a call to Harvard in 1926.

A thorough grounding in the so-cial sciences and philosophy com-bined with an imaginatively real-istic mind has enabled Dr. Friedarich to set a high level of accom-:plishment. His chapters in "Re-sponsible Bureaucracy" gave asystematic approach to some prob-lems of administration. An edirtion of the Latin text of Althusiusaccompanied by a penetrating essayon this influential thinker has beenwarmly received by Europeanscholars. In 1037 he published ageneral treatise, "ConstitutionalGovernment and Politics: Natureand Growth" which integrates thehistorical and philosophical ap-proach to the study of politics. Aninterpretation of International Re-lations since the war especially inthe relevance to the domestic situ-ation, is now available in his "For-eign Policy in the Making", (W. W.Norton & Co. 1938).

His courses at Harvard cover-ing a unique range from abstrac-tion to concreteness include politi-cal theory, comparative institu-tions, public opinion and propa-ganda, and the legislative process.For years he has concerned himselfwith the training of civil servantsand now Dr. Friedrich is on thefaculty of the Graduate School ofpublic Administration.

Lecturer in prominent forumsand contributor to leading journals,Dr. Friedrich has taken a contro-versial stand as educator andcitizen.
