Doctor Rivers but tecehtly was awarded the Ph. D. (Doctor of Philosophy) degree at Cornell Univer-i'v in New York stsite. Doctor. Rivers is among ' the very few gentlemenJ of...color over, to take this highest?arndl'llllf degree in the field of Romance Languages (languages de- I rived front the spo.ken Latin, or Roman tongue). While doing his work at Cornell, Doctor Rivers ran . across some valuable material on such eminent French, wfUtutier and the. Dumas, pere and fils. T1iil- hiaterial was published in an earlier 2; edition of "The Crisis". .Another very interesting bit of (fata ton- h the Career of Toussaint L'Uu : vert my. .-was !p'uldusked in "Opportunity11- that" was discovered bv'Doctor Rivers while making his researches. Doctor Rivers is teaching French in the Summer School. He believes that there is splendid oppor THE CAROLINA TilKATRR. The management of "the Carolina Theatre has provided a place where the colored people of Columbia may enjoy the very ia'st* ctttt-ma entertainment that the country affords.
