Briggs, professor of history, at the meeting of the International Relations club Wednesday evening.
In discussing his topic, “Problems of World Peace,” Dr. Briggs emphasized the obligation of the American people to keep well a-breast of national and international affairs.
“There is a need of a high level of general information and intelligence if peace plans are to be effective,” said Dr. Briggs.
