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corrections and are quickly out of
date, while the oldest enduring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.

First, more literature has been pro

second, it was over a woman, an<

Many campus organizations posl

Winter Issue
Of Carolinian
Hendley, Webster
Write Fiction,
Human Interest
. 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.

"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.
