CAROLINA PROFESS School. By Ninette Potosky Staff Writer Probably very few Carolina fans know that Robert Burns, the celebrated bard of Scotland, wrote the,original musical score to which we now sing the Caro lina Alma Mater. The composition is in a book published by one of the nAion's leading experts on Burns, Doc tor Robert D. Thornton, of the English Department-at the Uni versity. Before coming to Caro lina Doctor Thorton taught at Worcester Academy, Harvard University and the University of Colorado. The title of Doctor Thornton's book, The Tuneful Flame, sug gestive of the poet and his Scotland, is taken from a Burns' poem, "The Vision." A collection of 25 songs composed by Burns, t):e book's selections range from beautiful, wistful ballads to lusty drinking songs. EarlyzInterest Doctor Thornton's 20-year interest in Burns was kindled in a sophomore English class at Wesleyan University. He con fides that he has taught college 'I' English in the hope of con veying to students some of the inspiration that he once re ceived. After completing his studies for graduate degrees at West ern Reserve and Harva'rd uni versities he received a fellow ship from Harvard and a grant from the American Philosophical Society which enabled him to travel and do research in Scot land. During these two periods, in 1949 and 1956, Doctor Thornton5 gathered material in libraries for literary reference and wan dered over Scotland for the spiritual reference necessary for interpreting and under standing Burns and the land for which he was spokesman and .ringer. Receives Recognition In 1955 Doctor Thornton re ceived recognition for his ef forts by being given the right to edit the Theodore N. D. Bester man papers relating to the poet.

An example of this is the Carolina Alma Mater which dif fers greatly in tune from the original Burns' musical composi tion. ,War Diary Another unusual publication of Doctor Thornton's is a war diary found on a dead soldier. Ending dramatically with a bloodstain, the diary, an ac count and commentary on the war written by a young Japan ese soldier fighting on Guadal canal, came into Doctor Thorn ton's possession while he was a Japanese translator for the Navy during World War II. After translation, the di Lry was published in 1951 under the title A Japanese War Diary. Between classes at Carolina Doctor Thornton is likely to be found smoking a venerable looking pipe in his office. Hear Alma Mater Students who drop by to chat may be fortunate enough to be favored with an "uncorrupted" version of the Carolina Alma Mater. Or if the conversation should get around to Burns, Doctor Thornton might remark about how deeply the Scots revere Burns and what a strong bond he is between Scotsmen. Doctor Thornton may even comment on the warm reception his work on Burns has received from the Scotsmen and how Scotsmen everywhere have cor responded with him to show their appreciation of his liter ary works. Indicative of the universal interest in Robert Burns, how ever, are the hundreds of Burns clubs all over the world. In fact, the Atlanta Burns Club is being addressed in January on the anniversary of Burns' birthday by a certain gentle man from Carolina by the name of Dr. Robert N. Thorn ton.
