The play was well received by small audi ences both nights.

His parents were missionaries of t h e Reformed church in the United States. His father was the founder of North Japan college. In 1901 the family moved to Yoyang in the province of Hunan, China, situated 750 miles up the Yangtze river from Shanghai. "I remember in particular the sum mers in China which we spent on a mountain called Kuling," Profes sor Hoy said. "I was the only American boy of my age on the mountain, but I had stalwart allies in two Canadian boys who by reason of their American mother felt that they, too, were Ameri cans. Since all of the other boys were British it is not surprising that there were almost daily skir mishes, and even an occasional repetition of the Battle of Bunker Hill." In 1904 the family returned on furlough to the United States and he entered Mercersburg academy, in Pennsylvania. There Archibald Rutledge, now poet laureate of South Carolina, was his instructor in English. He was elected to membership in the Mercersburg Fifteen, was one of the art editors of the school annual, and in his last year there was winner of the annual short story prize. He attended Franklin and Mar shall college, Lancaster, Pa., and was graduated in 1911 with the de gree of Bachelor of Arts. In col lege he was a member of the Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity, art editor of the Calendar, art contributor to the college annual, senior class prophet, member of the Glee club and of the Mandolin club, and win ner of the Senior Award in Biology. Upon the completion of his col lege course he had expected to en ter the medical school of the Uni versity of Pennsylvania, but was unable at the last moment to raise the necessary funds. About that time a scholarship in Biology was offered him by Princeton univer sity, and for the next four years Scholdiu' sv JohnynivrsIty la0Pl* Hoy he did graduate work there, hold ing successively the University, the Class of '77, and the Francis Maule Fellowships. His thesis was pre pared under the direction of Dr. Edwin Grant Conklin, and he was awarded the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Doctor Hoy was an instructor in Biology at the University of Rochester for three years until en tering the army in World War I. He served in the Medical depart ment and was stationed for most of the time in a laboratory attached to the surgeon general's office. Following the war he taught at Presbyterian college and came to the University of South Carolina in 1929 as Head of the Department of Biology. This was the year when the top floor was added to LeConte college, thus providing new quart ers for the department. Doctor Hoy is listed in "Who's Who in America," "Who's Who in the South and Southwest," the "In ternational Who's Who," and "Leaders in Education." He is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and of the South Carolina Academy of Science, serving as president of the latter in 1927. He is a member of the American So ciety of Zoologists, the American Association of Anatomists, the American Society of Mammalog ists, the Association of Southeast ern Biologists, the American So ciety of Human Genetics, and the American Association of Univer sity Professors.

"Berkeley Square" is one of the most successful plays on an Eng lish and American stage, in which Leslie Howard starred for a year in New York and other theatrical centers. The idea is that time is not a straight line, but that events of the past, present and future can be mingled into the life of one man -Peter Standish. When the young Americarn, Peter Standish, with his love of the eighteenth century, inherits a house in Berkeley Square, he is able to change places with his an cestor, the Peter Standish who also came from New York in 1784 and married his cousin Kate Pettigrew. His attitude is still that of a mod ern-he takes the earlier Peter's body and retains his own soul. He starts by taking up the threads of the earlier Peter's life, becomes engaged to Kate, and sits to Sir Joshua Reynolds for the famous portrait which hangs in Berkeley Square. Then he falls in love and is loved by Kate's sister, Helen. The lovers part, for the modern world recalls the modern Peter and his ancestor clamours to return to hin period. The two change times - disillusioned men. Back to his own time, Peter re jects the rich girl he was to marry and is left alone with his memories, symbolized on the Egyptian em blem which Helen gave him, and he is left reading a copy of the inscription on her tombstone, which tells of her death over a hundred years ago.
