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. In fact, Lewis says, this book
is the only one published which
deals with this subject during the
period of civilization from 500 A.
D. to 1100.
Prof. Lewis received his graduate
training at Harvard and Prince
ton. He studied anthropology at
Harvard and in 1940 took his
Ph.D. in history at Princeton. He
also received his A.B. and M.A. de
grees from Princeton, in 1936 and
1940, respectively.

ds South's Views
New Law School
school in Orangeburg had facilities
equal to, or better than, our law
school, and that it certainly met
the constitutional requirements.
"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.
