Dr.. William Ly Addresses Crov Yale Professor And I& Lecture At Township A The University student body sented in the crowd of approxii Dr. William Lyon Phelps, 'Ya liver an entertaining lecture at I nesady afternoon. Dr. Phelps spoke at the invitation of A. C. Flora, superintendent of Columbia City Schools. This was the first appearance in Columbia of the eminent 73 year old educator. I-ic was introduced by Dr. J. Rion McKissick, president of the Univer sity of South Carolina. 'he subject of Dr. Phelps's talk was Truth and Poetry. He assert ed that there was more truth in poetry than in science, which is proven by the fact that Science books constantly need revisions and corrections and are quickly out of date, while the oldest enduring poetry is oftentimes the best, as it shows by its survival. Dr. Phelqs explained, that narra tive poetry, while most interesting because it tells' a story, was all second rate stuff. The poetry of transfiguration is the first clas, best kind. By transfiguration is meant the taking of apparently common place things and alchemizing them into something fine and beautiful. Dr. Phelps gave examples of what he meant, quoting from Henley, Longfellow, William Wordsworth, and William Alexander Percy. Dr. Phelps named the four great est poets of the ages. Homer ol ancient Greece, Dante of Italy Shakespear,- of England, an< Goctiie of Germany. He especiall3 praised Homer and the Iliad. lie concluded stating tha tthi Trojan war, now being reenacted ii Ailey Opp was the most remark able ever fought for three reasons First, more literature has been pro (luced over it, than any war since second, it was over a woman, an< women are worth fighting for, an last, every soldier on- both side knew exactly what he was fightinj for, and that is really unique i these modern clay wars. Many campus organizations posl poned meetings and some classe were suspended in order to giv students an opportunity to hear th, internationally famous educato lecturer, and critic.

By Philip Wilmeth The winter issue of the Carolinian appeared shortly before exams. Sev eral very interesting articles ap peared witlhn its pages, including one by Dr. McKissick on "Student Life at Carolina" in the old days, a story by Coit Hendley entitled "Appointment for Revenge," and the "Confessions" of Mary Ford Webster. President McKissick's story is a very interesting one, despite the fact that it is somehow vague familiar -we have, in fact, heard it twice before. Also, it is a bit chopped up. But it is certainly interest ing, and will be preserved for pos terity as set down here. Highlights here were the rules and regulations of the University long ago; the stu dents were forbidden to "Visit tav Serns without liberty"; to keep a pis tol, dirk, sword-cane or howie knife. e Sometimes the students broke loose, even to the extent of "whooping on - the campus at night" and "blowing horns and trumpets." - Hendley's "Appointment for Re venge" was 0licely written. It is a story of the underworld of Chicago a but strangely enough takes place il s the South Sea Islands. Unfortu g nately my enjoyment of the stor3 n1 was severely hampered by 20 typo. graphical errors. "Confessions of a Fairly Goo< s Student" by Mary Ford Webster, i e thoroughly enjoyable; it concern s the well-known art of dingling r, Miss Webster is very frank in he confessions. We wonder if Mis Webster's professors read the arti cle, and if Miss Webster fully un derstands the meaning of sone c the words she. uses. As a whole,,the winter Carolinia seems to lack something, althoug it is hard to say what.

PHONE 791 Biology Dept. Claims Credit I For Lab Odor Hoy And Penney Say Everything Is Dead ti In Their Department a 01 "Everything is dead in the Biology department." This rath- 7 er ambiguous statement was made by Prof. J. T. Penney in A collaboration with Prof. Hoy of the Biology department last C Tuesday. C Whether this announcement was applied to the state of ac tivity of the department, or the students, or the piglets on which the students work, was I not clear. Neither of the pro fessors cared to clarify or elab orate on the subject when in terviewed. The noticeable odor that sometimes occurs in LeConte College may be due to the atrophy of the Biology rather than to the concoctions of the Chemistry department, as has formerly been believed.
