ABLE DISCOURSE GIVEN... "Les Fables de La Fontaine" Delightfully Presented By Speaker. A large and enthusiastic au dience of the members of the Al liance Francaise and French stu dents of the University together with a few outsiders were for tunate in hearing Emile Villemin discourse upon "Les ables de La Fontaine," in the chapel of the University on Tuesday night of last week. The lecture was a very inter esting and was well presented. Students of the French depart ment were able to follow the speaker well enough to appre ciate his remarks. Starting with the statements that this is the three hundredth anniversary of the birth of the poet, the lecturer told something of the life of La Fontaine and of his extensive study of nature and its life which he transformed into what are known as the fables of La Fon taine. Monsieur Villemin stated that La Fontaine studied with a great curiosity and energy the animals and their sylvan habits and of all the authors who at tempted to portray their life he alone survives and his fables will never die. La Fontaine also studied plants and all other phases of na ture and astonished all with whom he came in contact with his uncanny knowledge. He is said to have known everything at the age of 40. The audience was kept amused by the interpretations given the fables of La Fontaine by M. Vil lemin. He gave an imitation of a small girl sitting in a chaii chanting one of the fables and said that they should be studied seriously so as to gain the char acteristics of the people the ani mals represent. A fter the lecture lantern slides were thrown upon the screen il lustrating the dlifferent fables and Monsieur Villemin rendered explanations.i At the close of the entertain ment Monsieur Villemin express ed his pleasure at being in Co lumbia and America in high terms and at length. 'SCHOC TENNIS TOURNEMENT TO BE HELD AT WOFFORD Intercollegiate Tennis Title to Be Decided at Methodist Institution in May. CAROLINA WILL ENTER. Gamecocks, Who Lost Title by Narrow Margin Last Year, Expect to Win. The annual State Tennis Tournament to decide the in tercollegiate title will be held at Wofford College in Spartan burg on May 4th, 5th and 6th. This promises to be one of the biggest events of the season in tennis and much interest is al ways shown by the different in stitutions of the State in the af fair. Last year the title in this popular sport was won by Clemson when the prelimina ries narrowed down to Clemson and Carolina. However, the victory was a close one and the Birds expect to make good their defeat this season. Much more interest is being taken at the University in ten nis this year than ever before, and indications are that splen did teams can be well trained to represent Carolina on the court. Practice has begun in earnest already and quite a few aspirants are daily working to get themselves in corldition for the preliminaries preparatory to the tournament. These pre liminaries will be held early in April and between now and then some good practice mu=t be put in my those who intend making the team. Many candidates are out this year for the varsity tennis team. Van Meter, McDonald, Singleton and Manning are fast getting into mid-season form. Those who intend enter ing should place their names with the manager at once and if entering the doubles the names of partners must accom pany the name of each contest ant. Prospects are excellent for winning the tournament this year, and every man who is interested in tennis should come out and try for a place on the team. In response to a continued demand from printing interests of the State, the Virginia Poly.. technic Institution is preparing to establish a department for the training of linotype opera tors and others engaged iin the important work of printing and publishing. The Virginia Press Association has been urging that this be done for some time and plans have been developing along this line for the past two years. EDAY
