That touch came in the petite and graceful form of actress Helen Hayes, who was on the USC campus to receive honorary initiation into the Alpha chapter of Phi Beta Kappa. "I hardly knew whether to cheer or faint. 1 ,who have trouble with crossword puzzles in the New York Times," she said. "It took me four tries just to write a letter of acceptance to the invitation and to 2et the snellinc and thp tframmnr correct, at least I think it was correct." Hayes said she did not attend a college or university, but she did belong to the academy of the theatre. Hayes did not receive a formal education because she began her acting and touring career at the age of eight. She did get both a theatrical and formal education by reading various books and learning from many theatrical greats. "I has given me such intellectual riches as I could wish for every young person in America. I studied under one of the most exciting faculties anyone ever had," she said. "My hours were erratic, my classrooms were trains and dressing rooms, hotel . rooms and theatre wings, but I knew the joys of one to' one tutoring by some of the great teachers of our' time. THE DISTINGUISHED actress spoke of the theatre people.who gave her an education. "I learned literature and history from William Gillette," she said. "He was the son of a United States senator and he was once a friend and a secretary to Mark Twain.

"I worked with Mr. Gillette in J. M. Barrv's 'Dear Brutus' and along with teaching me by example some of the magic of extremely gifted actors, he also led me through the wonderful pages of Mark Twain, enriching them with his intimate knowledge and the admiration he had for the writer. We read everything including all of his published letters." Hayes met USC president James B. Holderman in Illinois. "I worked with him (Holderman) years ago at the University of Illinois at Chicago campus. I held classes there in theatre. It was the only time I tried teaching," Hayes said. Though she didn't have an opportunity to see 'Carousel,' a production of the USC theatre department until Sunday, she lauded the beauty of Longstreet theatre and commented on college theatre. . "I think that not only has college theatre progressed, but it has pulled the whole theatre up with it. I think it's the salvation of the whole theatre.
