Carolina Student
Studying Abroad
Tells Impressions
A former vice-president of the
Carolina student body and a Full
bright Fellowship winner to study
jurisprudence at the University of
London writes that students at the
English school are lef. freer to
ferret out information on their
own than here at,the University.
Bob llolmes, who was elected to
serve as student body vice-presi
dent this year prior to receiving
the Fullbright Fellowship, in a
letter to Dean Samuel L. Prince
of the University Law School, gave
comparisons and his own impres
sions about the difference in the
English school and Carolina.
Mr. Holmes writes:
"The lectures here are not nearly
so complete as those at home; the
student is left more on his own
to ferret out the information.
Assignments are not used, either;
the readiing is done from a syllabus
given in advance to cover the
wvhole subject.
"It may be unfair of me to form
a conclusion after only a short
time here, but my first impression
'is that (the average student does
not know as much law upon grad
uating from here as he would have
learned at USC. This may be
because the L. L. B. is an under
gradiuate degree and the students
conmc to law school straight from
high school."
"They do not take the English
equivalent to our Bar examination
until they have served an appren
ticeship for twvo years subsequent
to graduation.. By this time they
may be as well prepared or better;
I have no way of knowing about
this.

Is Past TV
By Mary Alice Carhart
Feature Writer
Among his other talents, Dr. E.
F. Murphy, associate professor of
foreign languages, is a past per
former on television. Prior to
coming to Carolina in September
1954, Dr. Murphy conducted a
series of French courses on tele
vision.
A summer series entitled "Col
lege At Home," the program was
a replacement for the "Sid Caesar
Show." The response to this ex
perimental program was remark
able. Lawyers, housewives, bankers
and janitors were 'among the
many students enrolled in the
course. At the close of 11 weeks
an examination was given at which
time the sponsor, the Department
of Education in Baltimore, deemed
it a success.
Although he enjoyed teaching
via television, Dr. Murphy says
that he "prefers teaching in the
classroom."
Likes Student Inspiration
"I do my best teaching when I
get inspiration from the student.
This way, teaching the imperfect
subjunctive year after year does
not become dull," he said.
Dr. Murphy first became in
terested in foreign languages
while attending a parochial school
in his native Syracuse, New York.
After majoring in classical lan
guages at the University of
Toronto, he spent two years at
Grinnell College in Iowa.
Ex-Naval Officer
During World War II he served
as Communications and Japanese
Language Officer for the U. S.
Navy. After this he wvent to Johns
Hopkins University where he re
ceived his Ph.D. in romance lan
guages. The theme of his Ph.D.
thesis was an interpretation of
Maurlac's Realism.

Magazine Writer Also
Making a hit locally also, he has

He is extremely proud of the
fact that he is married to a French
woman. His wife not only teaches
French to their five children but
also gives private lessons in
French.
When asked what inpressed him
most at Carolina, Dr. Murphy said
"the good manners of the stu
dents." He went on to say that
the "cordial manners" of the stu
dents here were seldom found in
the northern colleges.
"If they (the students) would
work a little harder, they would
be ideal," explained the modest
professor who has endeared him
self to all at the University.
