Cheryl Reeves, Mr. and Mrs.
Thomas Reeves.
Sir Christopher Wren, the builder
of St. Paul’s Cathedral in London, was
a famous architect of the 17th and
18th centuries. Once he was building a
church edifice in London when he was
severely critized by a group of jealous
architects. He was told that his type
of architecture would not support the
massive roof he was putting on the
building. After much debate and Sir
Christopher’s insistence that his archi
tecture would easy support the roof,
the officials ordered Sir Christopher
to put in additional supporting pillars.
Sir Christopher, reluctantly and in
sisting that they were not needed, did
as he was ordered.
Here was the story of a genius in
his field who was forced to go against
his own conclusions because ot the
envy of his competitors.
Jealousy Enters
Funny, sometimes, the way jeal
ousy gets into our system. Someone
can do something just a little better
than we can, someone gets recognized
as being a little more capable than we
are, someone rises above us and we
seek to pull them down. It seems that
if Sir Christopher found a new way
to support a roof that his competitors
would rejoice with him and learn from
him. But such wasn’t the case. They
turned against him, scorned and
laughed and ridiculed him, and sold
the public a bill of goods that his way
just wouldn’t work.
There are many cases like that in
history. Someone comes along with
something new, different, better, and
we unloose our jealousy on him. We
are so self-centered that we will not
allow ourselves to recognize greatness
when it comes. Rather than paying
tribute to greatness, we attempt, and
often succeed, in pulling the other per
son down. Galileo knew something
about this.
Another Treated That Way
They treated the Fisher of Men that
way, you know. He came with a new
way, a more excellent method, a clear
er revelation of what the Creator was
like, and His fellow counterparts
sought a way to destroy Him. He won
the hearts of a few men but men in
His profession turned against Him.
He was doing something new, some
thing that He knew would work. He
had full confidence in Himself and
His work, but jealousy burned in the
hearts of the recognized religious
leaders. They sought to destroy Him.
Rather than listen to what this Man
had to say and see if it were true or
not, they closed their ears and would
not hear His message and, prompted
by jealousy and selfishness, set about
to get rid of Him. He was a threat to
their position!
Let someone get in front of us and
rather than joining them, we try to
pull them down. But life never lets
anyone climb higher by pulling an
other down.
Fifty years after Sir Christopher
had finished the church building,
some painters were doing some repair
work on the church. It was then dis
covered that the additional pillars that
Sir Christopher placed in the building
missed the roof by two feet!
Greatness cannot be destroyed by
jealousy. Greatness is at least two
feet taller! —Five Star Features

Winthrop girls
win prize with
‘smoking rats’
Three Winthrop College psy
chology majors, intrigued with
the possible effect of tobacco
smoking on learning, parleyed
this curiosity, an ability to read
French and a helpful chemistry
department into an award-win
ning paper in psychology.
The students, Ann Dunn of
Columbia, Tena Jones of Lake
City, and Peggy 0‘Neill who is
from Charleston, won first prize
in the student competition spon
sored by the South Carolina Psy
chology Association.
The paper was titled, "The
Effects of Tobacco Smoke on
the Acquisition and Retention
of an Avoidance Response in
Male Albino Rats’’—or, to the
layman, does smoking affect
learning?
Their award-winning research
returned the Association’s plaq
ue to Winthrop for the second
year, bringing Winthrop’s wins
to six of the past 10 competi
tions in psychology.
"There had been so much on
tobacco smoke in the newspap
ers that we were curious about
its effect on learning,’’ the girls
explained.
"Then we found an article,
written in French, on this type
of research. So we submitted
the project to our advisor and
he approved.’’
That’s when the girls ran into
their first problems—how t o
"smoke" the rats and what to
use.
What to use was easy—pipe
tobacco because cigarettes

were too expensive”.
How to smoke the 20 labora
tory animals was a little more
difficult. The girls reported fail
ures at first. "We couldn t get
the smoke into the Skinner box.
Finally, some of the chemistry
professors helped us with a burn
er and hose that worked.”
The findings?
The girls were quick to point
out that their research "Doesn’t
apply to humans—only to rats”,
but even on that basis one of
the two smokers in the research
team quit smoking after the ex
periment.
"It really didn’t have any
thing to do with the findings,”
she said. "It was just that the
burner got so black and nasty
looking that I decided to give
up smoking.”
They did find that small doses
of smoke caused an increased
activity level, and that mas
sive (for a rat) doses had a
detrimental or adverse effect.
