The sum cf $290,000 has construction on the campus of a department of aircraft studies, State appropriates some §75,000 for laboratory equipment and undertakes to supply funds for an adequate instruction and research staff. If the State Legislature sees fit to avail itself of this gift to the university, it is quite possible that Seattle would become one of the principal centers for development of the science of aero- nautics, There are sound reasons for this pre- well summed up in a report which M. Lyle Spencer, President of the University, to- gether with a staff of engincers and aireraft tech- nicians, prepared and presnted to the Guggen- heim Feundation.

He is even more kind than this, asserting that America has a national soul. Best of all, he insists that this quality must keep America and Burope spirit- ually apart.

Specifically, Keyserling asserts: Those who judge America secverely nowadays do it by Old World standards. But you cannot apply Old World stand- ards to the New World any more than you can apply American standards of advertising, publicity and hustle to the 0Old World. It produces nothing but misunder- standing now, and it will do so to even a greater extent in the future.
