University Work Of 1 Lewis believes that such power has been a decisive element in the his tory of civilization. Prof. Lewis' book is the product of ten years' work and research. He finished it in September, 1950. It was published in January of this year by Princeton University Press. The book covers Moslem piracy and Byzantine navies. It treats the Mediterranean as a unit, a treatment little used before this time.

"The majority rules," said one member, "and if the majority of the people of South Carolina desire segregation, why should we let the northerners ram something down our throat against our will." An obvious hater of the fairer sex said, "We have women over there, why not Negroes?" Participating in the discussion were ten visitors as well as the society's membership. The Hon. Sol Blatt was to have been the speaker at the meeting, but Mr. Blatt informed the society of his being unable to attend be cause of illness, so the debate was held in place of his speech. President Bill Gibbes announced that the society's annual oratorical contest will be held on February -, and that all members are urged to partinate.
