Post-war Germany went under fire last Monday night at a meeting of the Forum on International Problem held at the College Observatory Library Professors Sidney B. Fay and Taylor Starck led the discussion.

Fay. professor of History, stressed the fallacy of thinking that all Germans are alike. "To think of the Germans as having a double does of original sin is to make the Hitlerian mistake on race." he said.
