中国预算顾问John Blauford 离纽约来渝,氏系前Tennessee Valley Administrator 之总干事。
又财政顾问Arthur Young 辞职。为史地系二年级生钟桓及赵元复女士证婚。钟恒,字永书,湖北黄梅县人,年廿三岁,奏乐。沈利亚招待黎敏轩。晚电机系民35级谢师宴。“Well and you benot turned Tuck , there is no more sailing by the star。”Shakespeare “much ado about nothing”。晨七点起。八点半至校。十一点半田。十二点至社会服务(处)。为史地系二年级生钟恒及赵元复结婚。二人均川籍,因钟生将去浙江,是以女家送新娘来此,并邀余证婚。典礼开始后行礼毕,余致辞。本年证婚,连刘之远夫妇已为第四次,故余谓证婚成为大学校长之副业,政府应准挂牌,如律师、医师,乃所以奖励生产也。次谈及《圣经》St.John 第二章,耶苏至Galilee Cana 地方参加结婚典礼,以酒将用罄,耶苏倾壶中之水,均变为酒。在目前原子弹时代,铀可变锁,则变水为酒并无足奇。但其用意在于夫妻和谐,以酒相喻也。古语云“天作之缘”,古来姻缘之成功在天,而姻缘之美满全系人为,夫妻二方均应努力云云。薛效宽代表来宾打新娘、新郎印时余代打,以未去眼镜,致均倒反,可称乱点鸳鸯谱矣OR.Rusk: {大教育家之主张》, Chap.II.Líke Plato , 刷Qum山iu巾I1n children should be taught not only what is beautiful & eloquent , but in a greater degree what is good & honest.Homer & Vírgíl should consequently be read , even though to be sensible to theír beauties is the business of riper judgement.music must be in the training of the orator.Accordíng to Quíntíllan , music has two rhythms , the one in the voice ,the other ín the body.Geometry as in Platos scheme , ís included ín Quíntillansscheme;but unlike Plato in the Republic , Quintillan does not despise its practical advantages to the orator.Dancing míght be allowed whíle young ,。。.a secret grace wíllmíngle with all our behav10r and continue with us through lífe。p。26:“1must remind you ,”said Plato , “that power of díalectícs can alone reveal absolute truth and only one of prevíous sciences。。。.In Platos scheme of educat10n it is for men as women。
