COLUMBUS, Ohio, December 28.
she Russian revolution will go down
In history as the Treat event of the
century, as the French revolution was
In tho eighteenth century. Prof. Frank
A. Colder, professor of European his
tory at Leland Stanford University,
asserted yesterday in an address be
fore the convention of the American
HletorlcaJ Association. Prof. Colder
Vas in Russia at the outbreak of the
revolution, leaving Petrograd in the
summer of 1917 and returning four
years later for a visit lasting from
August, 1921, to May. 1933.
"I was oppressed by the misery I
found the disorganization of the
railways, scarcity of food, aspect of
the houses and slovenliness of the sol
diers. The old Russian intellectual
class had been completely wiped out
by the revolution,” he stated. Later,
he said, he noted great improvement
in the situation. Stores were .open,
trade was vigorous, tho population
ambitious and eager to earn a living
and to save.
All this he attributed to tho new
economic policy of the soviet, which
allowed unhampered trade and ob
servance of the law of supply and
demand. Everything then pointed to
an early recovery of Russia, he said,
but this trend was blasted by a re
lapse the early part of this year.
Will Recover, He Says.
“The bolsheviks saw tho threaten
ed return of idealism, took over the
private presses, almost taxed new
business out of existence and eco
nomic depression set in.” Prof.
Colder predicted, however, that Rus
sia will recover and be as strong as
ever.
Prof. Edward P. Cheyney of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, president of
the association, conducted the after
noon session devoted to discussion of
the contribution and place of history
in the schools. A survey of special
experiments 'with the social studies

gomery Gambrlll of Columbia Uni

tho teaching of history with a view
toward training for citizenship of

acter.
