PROF. L. P. CHAMBERLAYNE
THURSDAY NEXT
"Buried Cities of Crete" Should
Draw Large Audience.
Next Tuesday evening, April 6th,
we will have the opportunity of
hearing Prof. Chamberlayne in
chapel. As scheduled in the Exten
sion Course of Lectures, Prof.
Chamberlayne -was to have given his
address on January 19th, but for
various and inevitable reasons his
address was )ostponed to April 6th.
1He is a forceful and fluent speaker,
and the date will he looked forward
to with exceleding interest.
Prof. Chamberlayne's subject for
the evening vill be "I'uried Cities of
Crete." Under this subject he vill
handle thoroughly the iicNv facts of
the earliest history of Europe that
have been brought to light by ex
cavations in the Islanl of Crete dur
ing the last decade. In this renowned
little island of the eastern 'Med
iterranean, which is 11w on.e of the
countries of burning interest in the
Eastern Question, was laid the
foundation of Rurol)ean civilization.
The lecturer will show how these
first civilized Europeans lived in
times that were ancient history in
Homer's (lay, and will illustrate their
architecture, art, warfare, sports and
dress from the discoveries made by
the B1ritish Museum since 1900.
Particularly interesting to most peo
ple, perhaps, will be the astoniish
ing mo(lernness of these pre-Ilom
eric I)eol)le in art, sport and dress,
)articnlarly the dress of the women.
''his little Island of Crete has had
no little significance in the priogres
Sion of civilization inl the E astern
World. Prof. Chamberlavne will
touch briefly on the chief character
istics of this island and its inhabit
ants, which receit discoveries have
brought to light.
Last of Special Student Services.
Prof. J. G. Clinkscales. of Vof
ford Coll-ege, will address the stu
dents of the LJniversity and the
young ladies of the two \Volien's
Colleges in the chapel Sunday
night, at 8 o'clock. This is the fifth
and last of the series of special Sun
clay night services addressed by out
of-town speakers. It will be recalled
that this series was planned as an
experiment with a view to attempt
ing still larger tliings next year, and
so gratifying has been the interest
andl respIonse of the students that it
is now certain that pllans will be
made for a similar series of services
next year, to be held continuously
throughout the session.

Address Wednesday Evening.
Those who did not hear john Me
Sween We(liesday night at the Y.
.11. C. A. missed a fine talk on a fine
Subject. This was the intro(luctory
ad(dress in the series of "life-\Vork
'Talks," which will be giv,en through
out the month of April. Every man,
sai(d the speaker, has some talent,
some resource, and the main thing is
for him to see that he invests this
worth of his where it will bring the
largest returns in the service of
God and the service of one's fel
lows. l [e cited the motto of the
Prince of Wales as worthy of every
man's emulation: Ich Dieii, I serve,
and as showing that the life of serv
ice is the only life really worth while.
Make up your mind to attend these
"Life-Vork Talks." They will be
interesting and helpful to you.
