Intellectual Housewife As Stateswoman The day’s sessions at Colgate’s Foreign Policy Conference, held July 10-14, 1961 were over, but the discussions continued at an off-campus center of Colgate’s university life, the Colgate Inn. Vociferous groups congregated around tables liberally marked by the initials of former students of Colgate. And, despite the wealth of material presented there for human interest stories, paid attention only to the current discussion, which ranged from such topics as the problem of the Common Market to neutralism, to questions of ideological lead ership and superiority. The Ukrainians at the Confer ence, the late Dr. Lubomyr Or- tynskyj, Mr. W. Dushnyk, Mr. Stephan Jarema and I had pulled together three tables to make room for old friends and new acquaintances, persons from various walks of life, and various parts of the world. At the table to our miniature world-community sat two well- dressed ladies discussing Presi dent Kennedy’s foreign aid pro gram. Mr. Dushnyk, serving as a self-appointed waiter, smilingly passed the two ladies with the comment that they must be either college faculty members or Foreign Service officials. “Neither,” came the laughing reply, “we’re just housewives.” “Ah,” retorted Mr. Dushnyk, “then you must be, not just housewives, but intellectual housewives.” The remark was both apt and true. Of the 315 delegate at the Conference, at which ambasadors and representatives of various gevernments and officials of in ternational agencies had a chance to meet with various citizens of the U.S.A., at least thirty dele gates were actually “intellectual housewives.” Although active in civil affairs, in clubs, in scholarship commit tees, etc., the primary occupa tion of these women was being, a housewife. The modern housewife is not to be cut off from the rest of the world. This holds true not only for such shining lights of womanhood as Dr. Zelma George, last year’s member of the United States delegation to the UN, who took an active part in the Confer ence, but also for those other women, who, in addition to Mc Call’s and Parents’ Magazine have a chance to read Foreign Affairs. Women came to the Colgate Conference either accompanying their husbands or grown-up children, or they came alone. A few families with children of High School age were there be lieving this a worthwhile way to spend their vacation. The women took a diligent part in the round table discus sions of the Conference and in its plenary sessions, both of which featured distinguished speakers, who are experts in their fields, in public discussions and in pri vate talks the women were eager to learn, eager to listen to a dif ferent opinion than their own. But, they also submitted the statements they heard to the ri gid scrutiny of moman’s cold logic. The women were more ide alistic than the men, and despite the waryness of the female char acter, they would suggest radi cal, matter-of-fact, and quick solutions. One frequently had the feeling that from out the ages, and from over the seas the ghosts of Aristophanes’ Lysi- strata had suddenly appeared in the gently rolling slopes of upper New York State. Colgate’s Foreign Policy Con ference was an example of demo cracy at work. It gave both citiz ens and governments, domestic and foreign an equal chance to voice their opinion. The friendly atmosphere of a country college campus, the desire, the open mind, to help and to be helped in turn created favorable conditions for a slight increase in interna tional understanding. The people, as a cross-section represented at Colgate want co-operation, and a just peace. They firmly believe in the ideals of democracy and they are more than willing to suffer the hardsips which work ing for a just peace incur. Throughout the Conference it was the women who were most incensed at the wrongs suffered by the people of the world, by the physical hardships of those in the less developed states, and at the tyranny suffered by those behind the Iron Curtain.
