Dr. Nelson has a doctor's degree from Cornell and under a fellow ship, he did graduate work at the University of Paris and the Uni versity of Cologne. Although he did not see Italy until 1926, Dr. Nelson says "it has been a pas iion" with him ever since. The wide intemsts of Dr. Nel son include a great devotion to music as well as to history. It was under his guidance that the Chamber Arts Society at Durham, N. C. flourished.

IOI1 GJ& A iutW Twain By EMILY WHEELER Staff Writer Three idle tomes of Mark Twain, an untouched grade book, a scattering of cake crumbs over a Webster's unabridged diction ary, and assorted cups, bottle openers, and napkins adorned Dr. W. Y. Wagener's desk at the end of his Twain class Wednesday, Dec. 1. Dr. Wagener scratched his head in amazement as his 23-member class and guests greeted him with a cacophonous rendition of "Happy Birthday" and presented a chocolate cake which read, "Happy 130th Birthday, Mark Twain." Hal Holbrook records of Twain imitations provided a suitable background as students passed out cake and soft drinks, and Wage ner remarked that "Twain would probably have preferred some thing a little stronger to drink." An expert on Twain after teach ing the special course for almost 12 yoars, Wagener said that he had never seen Twain, but that his wife had. "When she was a tot on a boat trip to Bermuda, her father's deck chair was right next to Mark's. lie would pat her on the head and talk." The class had a special treat for )r. Wagener in playing an old song which had once given him such a bad case of echolalia. Sud denly recognizing "Linda," he laughed and chimed in on the chorus. "I couldn'L imagine what was going on at first," Wagener said. "My birthday isn't until the Fourth of July."
