DR. WAUCHOPE GIVES IBSEN LECTURES Tells Story of Great Norwegian Dramatist. On Thursday morning at the regular meeting of the third Eng lish class Dr. Wauchope began his series of lectures on Henrik Ibsen, the great Norwegian dramatist. The subject of the initial lecture was "Ibsen: The Master Builder of the Modern Drama. " Dr. Wauchope went into de tails to tell of the character of Ibsen's dramas and their influ ence on the public mind. He pointed out the great influence that the poet's mind underwent -. when he ran away from Norway and went into Italy. He spoke . of his literary peculiarities and . personal traits. He divided the dramatist's work into three di visions, the historical dramas, the romantic dramas and the so cial dramas, giving representa c, tive plays under each division. o In response to an extended in a4 vitation several visitors were in the class. These lectures are open to anyone in the city who may be interested. Speaking of the lectures Dr. Wauchope said: "I was indebted to the performance of 'Peer Gynt' and 'A Doll's House,' at the Columbia theatre for my ini tial personal interest in Ibsen, the bekinning of a two years en thusiastic study of William Ar cher's translation'of plays. I can not presume to the dignity of calling myself a full-fledged Ib senite, only an amateur in the works of the greatest of the modern playwrights. I propose in these lectures only a brief in troduction to Ibsen, a sort of a short spring voyage into some of the best charted fjords of the ti tanic Norwegian genius." Schwartz Wins Medal. Raymon Schwartz, of Sumter, won out in the Euphradian ora torical contest held on Monday night. The other contestants were H. C. Brearly, who won second place, and T. T. Carroll. This is the first contest of its kind ever held by the Euphra dian society. The contest is open to all the member3 of the society except those who have won medals in any other college.

Team On Saturday, May 2, Virginia Military Institute defeated Caro lina by a score of 12 to 6. Our. team was in bad form. Owing to several peculiarities of the field, a good many balls went for hits which otherwise would have been fielded. Because of the sloping ground our fielders failed to catch the ball at two different times when a miss meant a home run. Richards got three hits out of four times up. Edens played first well and got two hits out of three times up. Bicycle Hike. At 3:45 Wednesday afternoon the bicycle club met at the gym nasium and rode over to Dents ville, a distance of about eight miles.
