Studies in African anthropology by Max Gluckman
Professor of Social Anthropology in the University of Manchester
6-The Bonds of the Colour Bar
' The divisions, the conflicts, the hatreds between people and groups in South Africa are obvious enough,' says the speaker. ' The striking problem here is to find the order, not the quarrels; to see how quarrels are contained, not how they arise.' In his final lecture Professor Gluckman traces the changing relations between black and white groups in the history of Zululand and shows that, until recently, there were many cross-linkages. ' Zululand,' he observes, is an illustration, though not a complete miniature, of modern Africa.'

Second of two talks by John Buckatzsch
A change in economic method from classical economics which is really a ' branch of philosophy ' to the study of national income and actual situations gives a hope that economics may become useful as an applied science. This was the question to which John Buckatzsch was devoting his attention during the last years of his life. These talks were recorded shortly before his death last August.

PART 4 (Cantos 18-22): Dante and Beatrice ascend from the Fifth Heaven of Mars (where the souls of warriors and martyrs are seen as stars which make up a dazzling cross) to the Sixth Heaven of Jupiter (where the spirits who were pre-eminent on earth for their sense of justice appear as a cluster of lights which forms itself into the pattern of an eagle's head); the symbolic Eagle speaks to Dante with a single voice. expounding among other things the inscrutability of Divine Justice; Dante and Beatrice ascend into the Seventh Heaven of Saturn where are those who passed their lives in holy contemplation; the poet speaks with St. Peter Damian and St. Benedict; Dante and Beatrice are snatched up into the Eighth Heaven of the Fixed S'ars, from which height Dante looks down at the heavens beneath him and at the distant earth.
