By JO RUSSELL A Special Writer The opinion that George Chaj man-the Elizabethan poet, drar atist, and translater of Homer was a champion of virtu and r mantic individualism has beE challenged by Ennis Rees, assis 4 ant professor of English at tJ university. Prof. Rees' new boo "The Tragedies of George Chaj man: Renaissance Ethics in A tion," is the first challenge of ti accepted opinion In the history 4 Chapman criticism. This book, recently published t the Harvard University Press, hi been cited as "a valuable contrib1 tion to our knowledge of Chapma: and to the study of Elizabetha literature In general as well." Douglas Bush, professor English Literature at Harvaa University and one of the world foremost authorities on the seve1 teenth century, says: "I have Ior1 -been dissatisfied with conventloni accounts of George Chapman plays. . . .

By this reinterpre e0 'ation and comprehensive study of k, the tragedies, Ennis Reea shows >- In detail that Chapman's Chris -tian-humanistic creed is expounded 0e not only in his nondramatic poetry if but in his tragedies as well. The conception of a paradoxical Chap y man, based on the tendency to in is terpret speeches out of dramatic a- context thereby putting him on i, the side of anarchy and lawless n self-expression, is exposed by Professor Rees as being erroneous if and inaccurate. The Chapman d legend is just a legend; there is sno irreconcilable difference be a- tween the philosophy of his poems g and the philosophy of his plays. il Backing his statements with 's numerous examples of proof, Prof. a- Rees thus unifies Chapman's It works into a coherent whole " wherea conventional accounts on] re tapped by Alpha Kappa Gamma otle, Georgia B.

"The Tragedies of George Chap man: Renaissance Ethics in Ac tion" is Prof. Rees' first book and is the result of nearly six years of careful study and intensive re search. Prof. Rees received his doctorate from Harvard Univer sity in 1951 and came to the Uni versity of South Carolina last fall from Princeton. Among the ad vanced courses to be offered under his Instruction are Appreciation af Poetry, Seventeenth Century Poetry and Prose, and Literary Criticism. "'Renaissance Ethics in Action' is a scholarly yet highly readable book," stated Havilah Babcock, Head of the English Department. 'It is a bold book which dares to dissent from a long accepted thesis and will doubtless provoke a deal f interest among scholars in the field. It is quite an honor to have a book of this sort published by Harvard Univorsity Press, and the E~nglish Department congratulate.

The convocation, which will be from 10:30 to 11:10, will climax Honor Emphasis Week. Before President Russell's speech, Johnny Johnston, chairman of the honor board, and Beaufort Law, past chairman, will give short talks. Classes will run on a clipped schedule. Honor board members gave brief talks to all freshman English classes Monday and Tuesday. The purpose was to orientate freshmen with the purpose and function of the honor system, and to stimulate interest among them. Throughout the week, honor board members have visited cam pus organizations to speak on the system and to renew interest. At the beginning of the week each student received in his mail box a paper giving the Honor Pledge that each student signs upon registration at Carolina and explaining the organization of the Honor Board. It also stated in fractions of thi Honor Principle, punishments, and what to do when an infraction is seen by a student. Preceding AKG and ODK tap ping ceremonies Tuesday night, members of Clariosophic Literary Society debated, Resolved: That the Honor System at Carolina should be Abolished. Taking the affirmative side were Pat Grayson and Bob Ackerman. For the nega tive were Al Tison and Ernest Lathem. No decision was reached as the debate was for the purpose of ac quainting the audience with the facts for and against the honor system as it stands at present. The affirmative team contended that the present honor principle includes cheating, but does not include other phases of honor such as stealing, lying, and destruction of property. They also said that with the apparent low standard of honor that Carolina has, when professors leave a classroom dur ing an exam or test, they are en couraging the students to cheat. The negative team stated that if a 'student can't stay in school by studying, and with the help of his teachers, he has no right to be here, and should be expelled if he has been passing by cheating. A fter the debate, members of the Honor Council were introduced. At this time they answered questions asked by the audience. Present members of the honor council are: John k. Johnston (chairman), Josephine Boyle (sec retary), Bill Weston, Tommy Rowland, Robert G. Bell, and Jerelyni Cunningham.
