Neutrality Debate Highlighted As Landmark In 1939
Dr. Robert S. Pletcher of Oberlin College told students the 1939 neutrality debate was a central political event and may mark the end of extreme isolationism. He cited Senate repeal votes, public opinion, and national discourse as signs democracy can decide major issues swiftly. He warned unemployment, dependency, and ideological threats while praising groups defending democracy and urging vigilance against curtailing liberties.

Austrian Violinist Ossy Renardy To Play At Oberlin
Austrian violinist Ossy Renardy aged eight will debut on the Oberlin Conservatory Artist Recital Series in Finney Chapel next Tuesday February 6 at 8 PM. Now on his third American tour, Renardy first appeared publicly in 1933 and has since toured Europe and spent 1937 mainly in the United States preparing for his American debut. His rise began with a Town Hall triumph and he adopted the stage name Renardy in place of Oskar Reis. He lives in America with parents still in Vienna and has devoted long hours to practice, learning English in a year and studying Sinclair Lewis in German to prep for travel. Tickets for the concert are available.
