Stephan FinaII
Campus R.pIu
Piffidest Professor Gre
Seribe SwrvivRs With M
By ANNE SEARSON
It has been said of Prof. R. At.
Stephan that interviewing him
should be a required obstacle course
for journalism nmajors before they
are awarded degrees.
"No", said -Prof. Stephan from
behind a screen in his dining room.
The reporter edged her foot farther
into the door which the professor's
daughter was attempting to close.
"No" repeated Prof. Stephan. The
reporter settled herself on the
lounge. Reluctantly the professor
emerged from behind the screen.
The reporter licked her pencil
point and surveyed the violently op
posing countenance of her "vic
timu". With verbal journalistic
tweesers she plucked hairs of in
formation from his past. Receiving
high school and junior college edu
cation at college jaques-Anyot and
a Bachelor of Arts degree at Col
lege Soisy-Sous-Etiolles near Paris,
Mr. Stephan came with four other
young Frenchmep to accept scholar
ships to Middlebury College, Ver
nont. There he mastered the Eng
lish language, severely handicapped
by the temerity he felt at meeting
classes with girls.
After teaching for a year in Tarry
town on the Hudson, N. Y., he se
cured a fellowship to The Johns
Ilopkins University in Baltimore
where he acquired another A.B.
degree and 'Mrs. Stephan.
In 1923 he rale to the University
of S. C. and has since that year
been on the faculty, an event which
lie feels the University should cele
brate "with presents".
In addition to his teaching of
French here, Professor Stephan was
for five years co-director of the
t'niversity Players with Vnt. S.
Wood,~ 'now sering w:ih the~ Are
Forces in Africa. At one time he
conducted a series of radio news
broadcasts but was kicked off the
air for remarking that "Robert Tay
ior's acting was wooden".
"Hobbies?" queried the reporter.
The professor raised his eyebrows
with superior disdain (an expres
sion common to his classroom
manner). "I do not dig holes in
the ground and watch little things
grow, I do not roll balls around
golf courses. nor do i arm myself
with lethal weapons and go around
killing little birds and defenseless
animals. I am content to spend
twenty-six hours a day with a
book in my lap."
The professor is fond of reading.
"Mlusical preference?"
\fr. Stephan's accent still hints of
his native language; in clipped
French tones he replied. "As be
hooves a college p)rofessor, I ap
preciste the classics. Hiowever, I
in occasionally caught listening to
Ilingie-woogie', an 111 am not be

On Library Lawn

Music was provided by the Blue
jackets orchestra. under the direction
of Dean Olson.
- Frank litt and Johnny Recce,
members of the social committee of
the Y cabinet were in charge of the
dance and the refreshments which
were served on the lawn.
Dancing was enjoyed by approxi
mately 3OO navy boys and coeds until
rain ended the evening's festivities.
'Mares-Eat-Oates I'"
The reporter asked about any
outstanding change in students dur
ing the professor's it years at Caro
lina.
''The repeal of prohibition."
With sincere cxhaustion the re
porter bid Mr. Stephan "adieu".
"Your phoenetics are lousy", was
the gentleman's parthian shot.
ut with tolerant generosity we
wil add that Professor Stephan is
ciaracterised on the campus by a
wit (well punctuated with sarcastp),
an amazing insight into student psy
chology, and a fascinating conti
ental t113Jtner, making him an onut
stan4ing favorite among campus
personalties.
