At the first summer convocation
held Tuesday In Memorial hall, Dr.
Amry Vandenbosch expressed the
belief that the conference at San
Francisco will be known as one of
the greatest in the history of the
United Nations. He stated that it

differed from most peace conferences in that no mention of the
usual peace terms were permitted
in the discussions; but that its object to draft a constitution of a
world organization is the very essence of peace.
There was no great personality
at this conference as there had
been in the Paris conference, the
speaker recalled, stating that only
the late President Roosevelt could
have given the conference the great
leadership it badly needed.
Anthony Eden was the most outstanding personality during the
short time he was there, the
speaker said. His opening speech,
coming just at the time the convention needed it most, made a
lasting impression on the delegates.
