CRC'WDED HOUSE HEARS ROBINSON ON ARCHzEOLOG Y EXCAVATIONS IN ASIA Gives Illustrated Lecture on the Findings Made by Party of Scientists Ten minutes before schedule time last night, the University chapel was full and verflowing with people who crowded there to hear Prof. David M. Robinson, of Johns Hopkins, who gave an illustrated lecture on Asia Minor, dealing especially with excavations made by his party near Pisidia. Prof. Robinson is a large man, and his enthusiasm and wit flow out and capture the audience even before the lecture begins. The p}articular trip that he spoke of was sponsored by the University of Michigan, and as the speaker said, was filled with excite ment from the moment the party start ed from New York, and a man jumper overboard, to the time they set foot 1 on American soil again. The pictures were especially good, and the writing on the stones was legi ble, and many of the Latin and Greek scholars in the audience could be seen trying to translate the passages. One c particularly fine find was a head of i Caesar that had fallen from a statue < and was found in a gateway that had < been hidden since 100 A. D. until Prof. p Robinson's party found it through an a accident. B Different steps in the excavation, to- a gether with valuable finds and sketches were shown. Some of the views col- s ored, and once Prof. Robinson had his < wife to have her picture in a scene where a particular valuable find was i made to substantiate his statement. Over 3000 pictures were taken by the party. For a few minutes after the pictures ( were over, the speaker gave a few rea- c sons why the work was so fascinating L to him, and the importance of the work for history. Probably the most striking sentence o used was when he was telling of the i beautiful statues erected to ancient t Gods, and said, "God made men in his I image, and ever since then, men have I been trying to make God in theirs." -USC- 1 STUDENT BODY DANCE IN GYM l APRIL SEVENTH TO OPEN EASTER SEASON S t Gamecocks Will Play-Will Be Followed By Four Social Club Dances A student body dance will be given on wednesday night, April 7, to open the Easter dance season at the Univer sity.

The action is due to the committee not being able to secure Virginia's agreement to the query.
