Charles ToBePrincil At Anual Di Judge Bonham Will Preside At Meeting Charles A. Beard, one of the great est living historians, will deliver the principal address at the annual din ner of the University South Caro liniana Society Feb. 28, Prof. Robert L. Meriwether, secretary of the so ciety, announced today. Mr. Meriwether expressed great de light that Doctor Beard had con sented to deliver the address, and pointed out the appropriateness of so eminent an historian speaking to a society which is devoted to the col lection and preservation of historical material about South Carolina. Doctor Beard, formerly a profes sor at Columbia University, is the au thor of 19 books dealing with his tory and political science, and editor of nine others. His latest work, "The Rise of American Civilization," of which his wife, Mary Beard, is co author, has been acclaimed by critics as a truly great book, written for the ages. The annual dinner of the South Caroliniana Society will be held at the Hotel Columbia at 7:30 p. m. Tuesday, Feb. 28. Most of the 200 members of the society are expected to attend, and many members will bring guests. President J. Rion Mc Kissick of the University described those who attended last year's din ner as "the most distinguished com pany which meets in the Palmetto State." Associate Justice Milledge L. Bon ham of the South Carolina Supreme Court, for two years president of the Society, will preside at the din ner. Election of officers for the en suing year will be held. Another feature of the program will be the annual report of the secretary, in which a number of valuable ac quisitions of the Society will be an nounced. In addition to his distinction as writer and historian, Doctor Beard has received many other honors. He was adviser to the Institute of Mu nicipal Research in 1922; adviser to Viscount Goto, Japanese minister of home affairs in 1923; president of the American Historical Association in 1933; president of the American Po litical Science asssociation in 1926, and president of the National Asso ciation for Adult Education in 1936. He is a member of Phi Bela Kappa. Following are excerpts from pub lished reviews of some of Doctor Beard's works: The survey, rcview of "Charter for the Social Sciences in the Schools": "An inspiring statement . . . The clear thought and limpid English are Beard at is best." Outlook, review of "Rise of Ameri can Civilization": "Nothing is over looked in this competent chronicle. Most of its ground has been covered by others in various works. But here it all is, succinct, crisp and interest ingly told. Besides much is covered where others have not yet gone." Samuel Flagg Bemis, in the Amern can Historical Review, review of "The Open Door at Home"; "If the re viewer is not greatly mistaken, this work will remain a classic of Ameri can Political thought." The Nation, review of "Economic Basis of Politics": Rarely is more good sense, good scholarship and good writing packed into a hundred pages." The Independent, review of "Ec onomic Interpretation of the Consti tution of the United States": "No more important work on the constitu tion has yet appeared." --o. 8. 0.
