DEPT. OLDEST IN SOUTH
Was Not Created As A Distinct
School Until Separation from
Engineering School In 1917
To observe the 35th anniversary
of the establishment of the depart­ment
of architecture, arrangements
are being made for a celebration to
take place on Friday and Saturday,
March 4 and 5.
The features of the program in­clude
a series of historical tabloids,
an exhibit of architectural works
and a masquerade ball. The tabloids
will be given at an informal recep­tion
on Friday evening, and will por­tray
the progress of art through the
ages.
The ball will be given on Saturday
evening in the architectural display
rooms, which will be decorated as a
Spanish courtyard. Attendants will
appear in costume. The decorations
were designed by Miriam Toulmin,
of Mobile, and W. M. Chambers, of
Birmingham, students in Architec­ture.
Alumni of the architectural school,
practicing architects and representa­tives
of all major organizations in
Auburn will be invited to participate
in the activities.
In making preparations for the
celebration, members of the architec­tural
faculty are working in conjunc­tion
with student committees. Chair­man
of the committees are: H. H.
Hillman of Selma and C. F. Davis
of Hartford, executive; G. W. Swain
of Little Rock, Ark., decorations;
Mrs. Betty Buchanan Ward of Au­burn,
costumes; and Howard B. Up-church
of Montgomery, music.
The department of architecture
was established in June of 1907 and
is the oldest in the South. It was
attached to the college of engineer­ing
which later became the college
of engineering and architecture.
At first the course in architecture
has a common freshmen year with
courses in engineering, but in 1917
a full four-year course in architec­ture,
separate from engineering,
was published in the college cata­logue.
In this the architectural
Work started from the beginning of
the freshman year. The same year a
full four-year course in architectur­al
engineering was also established.
The first head of the department
of architecture at Auburn was Pro-fessorNathaniel
Cortland Curtis, a
graduate of the University of North
Carolina and of Columbia Universi­ty.
To him is due all credit for
building up a strong course from the
foundation. Professor Curtis left in
1908 to become the head of the de­partment
of architecture at Tulane
university, and was succeeded at Au­burn
by Professor Joseph Rudnut,
who graduated from the University
of Michigan, and is now Professor
of the history of architecture at Co­lumbia
University. In the fall of
1916 Professor Frederic Child Big­gin,
from Cornell and Lehigh Univer­sities,
took charge.
In 1925 the courses in architecture
and architectural engineering were
extended from four to five years, and
the degree changed from B. S. in
architecture to bachelor of architec­ture
or architectural'engineering. In
1926 the department of architecture
was elected to full membership in the
Association of Collegiate Schools of
Architecture, and recognized by the
American Institute of Architects in
the conferring of their annual medal
for award to the graduate making the
highest record in all subjects through

Engineering Society
Hears Decker Monday
The Auburn student chapter of the
American Society of Civil Engineers
was addressed Monday night by A.
Clinton Decker, sanitary engineer for
the Tennessee Coal, Iron, and Rail­road
Company, Birmingham, upon
special invitation extended by Prof.
John A. C. Callan.
Mr. Decker was accompanied to
Auburn by Dr. M. F. Jackson, also

Company. Sanitary work of
the TCI Company was explained by
Mr. Decker to the students, the ma­jority
of whom are studying this sub­ject
along with other engineering
subjects in college.
Several Students Plan to Enter
Bi- Centennial Oratorical Meet
Thomas Kipp, President of Alpha Phi Epsilon, States That
Three Students Have Entered Thus Far; Final Contest
Here Comes March 4
Several students have announced
their intention of entering the
George Washington Bi-centennial
Oratorical Contest, according to an
announcement from Thomas Kipp,
president of the local chapter of Al­pha
Phi Epsilon, national honorary
literary fraternity, which is working
in conjunction with the speech de­partment
in the promotion of the
contest among Auburn students.
So far, according to Kipp, only
three students have definitely decid­ed
to enter the contest. These are
Thomas Pyke, Walter Edwards, and
Carl Majors. Other entries are ex­pected
soon. The final contest for
the school will be held March 4, or
near that time, according to a state­ment
from Professor Hess, head of
the speech department. The winner
will compete in the state contest at
the University of Alabama (date will
be announced later). Also, this win­ner
will be awarded five dollars in
gold by the local chapter of Alpha
Phi Epsilon. The winner in the state
contest will compete in the regional
contest, and the winner in the region­al
contest will compete in the na­tional
contest, which will be held in
Washington, D. C. (The time will
be announced later).
The following are some excerpts
from a bulletin issued by the George
Washington Bi-centennial Commis­sion:
"The Commission will present the
official George Washington Commer-ative
Medal in silver to the student
winning the state oratorical contest;
to the winner of the second place,
the official medal in bronze; and to
the student in third place, a certifi­cate
of award.
"To the winner of the national ora­torical
contest the Commission will
present the official George Washing­ton
Commerative Medal in gold".
"Those desiring particulars and
rules of the contest," stated Kipp,
"should consult Prof. Hess, head of
the speech department."
CELEBRATION ENDS
IN TRETPLANTING
Thirteen Groups Take Part At
High School As Washington
Celebration Ends
With a tree-planting on grounds
of the new high school the Auburn
exercises commemorating the 200th
anniversary of George Washington
ended Monday afternoon. Sam Brew­ster
was in charge of the planting
and trees were planted by the civic,
luncheon, and patriotic clubs of Au­burn.
Organizations planting trees were
D. A. R., U. D. C, Camp Fire Girls,
Boy Scouts, Masons, Eastern Star,
Woman's Club, Business and Profes­sional
Woman's Club, American Le­gion
Auxiliary, Kiwanis Club, Ro­tary
Club, and Lions Club.
Arrangements had been made in
advance so that an official of each
organization made the tree planting.
It is understood that each tree will
be marked for permanent record.
At the Monday morning exercises
in the chapel of the Alabama Poly­technic
Institute, the orator was
Hon. Clyde R. Hoey of Shelby, N. C,
with President Bradford Knapp as
master of ceremonies. Mr. Hoey
praised Washington for his numerous
virtues and his remarkable achieve­ments
in his various fields of endea­vor.
He declared that his achieve­ments
as a soldier and as a states­man
are most outstanding and also
best remembered but that Washing­ton
was equally great in other ways.
Mr. Hoey amplified and emphasized
the meaning of "First in war, first in
peace, and first in the hearts of his
countrymen."
Appropriate music for the occasion
was furnished by the Auburn band.
The assembly followed a military re­view
of the Auburn R. O. T. C. unit
with Dr. Knapp, Mr. Hoey, and rep­resentatives
of Auburn clubs and or­ganizations
in the reviewing stand.
Bullard Field was too wet for the
review which was staged on the
streets of the town.
The Auburn exercises began Sun­day
in the churches, the local mini­sters
preaching appropriate sermons
about Washington. Sunday after­noon
a special service was held in
Langdon Hall. Dr. George Petrie
spoke on the boyhood of Washington
and Captain E. S. Ott spoke of him
as "A Peerless Leader." The Au­burn
gleee club sang two numbers
with Prof. John W. Brigham in
charge.
Sunday evening a union church
service was held in the Baptist
church. Rev. Sam B. Hay of the Au­burn
Presbyterian Church was the
speaker.
The affair brought to a conclusion
the most elaborate c elebration of
its kind ever held in Auburn.
WETUMPKA CAGERS
WIN TOURNAMENT
Take Finals from Goodwater
by 20-12 Count; Scribe Picks
All-Stars
In the finals of the District Tourn­ament
Monday ngiht, a fast team
from Wetumpka had little difficulty
in downing Goodwater 20-12. Al­though
only holding a 5-4 advantage
at the half, Wetumpka combined a
superior passing attack with the sup­erb
shooting of Brown and Jones to
heave Goodwater trailing far behind
for the remainder of the game.
Brown shot 7 of his team's points to
lead the individual scorers of the
game, although Buzbee of Goodwater
contributed 6 toward his team's to­tal.
Excellent guarding by the We­tumpka
guards, McKissick and C.
Wood managed to hold down the
score of Goodwater, affording few
shots under the goal.
Goodwater (12)—Buzbee, for-fard
(6); Hayes, forward (2); Watt-wood,
center (2); Richardson, guard
(2) ; Harris, guard.
Wetumpka (20)—Jones, forward
(4); Brown, forward (7); K. Wood,
farward (2); Thrash, center:; Mc­Kissick,
guard (5); C. Wood, guard
(2).
Protest On Broadcast
Ruling Sent to Blake
That the petition containing twelve
hundred names which was sponsored
for the purpose of protesting the
Southern .Conference ruling against
the broadcasting of conference games
in the future, had been sent to Mor­gan
Blake, sports editor of the At­lanta
Journal, was the statement is­sued
by Homer Wright yesterday. He
also added that those who wished to
add their names to the list might do
so by calling at the Homer Wright
Drug Store this week.
It was intimated that sport scribes
over the South were partially in fa­vor
of the action taken by the con­ference
heads due to the fact that
radio broadcasting was rarely sup­ported
by the stations over which the
broadcasting was done. It is still a
matter of doubt whether any determ­ined
action will be taken by a cen­trally
organized group as a continued
protest against this action.

Scientific Laws
RENOWNED SCIENTIST
Two Performances Necessary
to Accommodate L a r g e
Crowds Attending
Throngs turned away for the first
performance filled Langdon hall last
night for a second revelation of the
wonders of science relating to light
and sound. Two capacity audiences
witnessed John Bellamy Taylor, con­sulting
engineer of the General Elec­tric
Company, Schenectady, N. Y., in
his display of novel experiments in
"Audible Light".
Dealing in the phenomina of the
transmission of light into sound, Mr,
Taylor exhibited the instruments al­ready
perfected in this field. He
caused the photoelectric eye to pro
duce seemingly impossible audible
sounds. Forcing the photo tube to
"see" light from various sources
which' set up within the tube feeble
electric currents which were con
verted into sound waves, he astound
ed the audience with various forms
of sound effects.
Taylor has done important work
in the field of talking pictures as well
as in the coordination of telephone
systems with power transmission
lines. His address was the exempli
fication of, the work which is being
done' in the field of science at the
research laboratory of the General
Electric Company, and included -a
working demonstration of some of
the newer tools which have been a
product of the electrical age.
The address points to the unlimit
ed possibilities which lie in the de
velopment of the vacuum tube.
University Student
Group Head Quits
University, Alabama, February 23.
—Action of the executive committee
of the University of Alabama board
of trustees )n rescinding an order
suspending a co-ed for alleged viola­tion
of the honor code, led to the
resignation of J. Theo Jackson, of
Ashford, Ala., as president of the
Student Government Association.
Jackson's resignation was announ­ced
following a meeting of the stu­dent
executive committee. A state­ment
was issued by Jackson that his
action was necessary "in view of all
the circumstances that have arisen
out of the recent controversy be­tween
the administration of the Uni­versity
and the .government of the
student association."
The student executive committee
will continue to function, student of­ficials
announced, and Edward
Branch, of Montgomery, member of
the University wrestling team and
holder of the bantamweight cham­pionship,
will advance from the of­fice
of vice-president of the Student
Association to succeed Jackson.
Dr. George H. Denny, president of
the University, and Dean Lancaster
declined to comment on Jackson's
resignation.

Engineering Professor W i ll
Make Test On Steam Con­duit
Recently Completed
Professor Y. A. Elizondo of the
engineering department was in Fort
Benning Saturday for the purpose of
testing a newly completed steam
conduit which is to be used in the
heating system of the new Medical
Barracks there. He was assisted in
his work by Ignacio Villasinor, senior
in the school of mechanical engineer­ing.
Professor Elizondo and Mr. Villa-senor
made the trip at the instiga­tion
of. Mr. C. L. Vickery of the J.
C. Miller Company". The conduit,
which is a five hundred foot, under­ground
insulated affair, was subject­ed
to a four-hour test to determine
the efficiency of its insulation. Gov­ernment
contract specification called
for a conduit of an efficiency of at
least ninety percent. Professor Eli-zondo's
calculations showed the con­duit
to meet the specified conditions,
and the results of the test were em­bodied
in a report to the contract­ing
company.
Cosmopolitan Sunday
To Be Observed Here
Cosmopolitan Sunday will be ob­served
at the Baptist church next
Sunday, February 28, by special ex­ercises
for all out-of-state students,
and also those students from foreign
countries. Special exercises in addi­tion
to the regular program are be­ing
planned.
At 9:45 Sunday morning, in addi­tion
to the regular Sunday School
program, it is planned to have stu­dents
from Germany, Mexico, Cuba
and Armenia give short talks, telling
something of student religious work
in those countries. At 6:30 Sunday
evening, special music will be given
in addition to the regular B. Y. P.
U. program.
About 275 students have been in­vited,
representing the states of Ari­zona,
Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, In­diana,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Missis­sippi,
Machassachusetts, North Caro­lina,
New Jersey, New York, Ohio,
South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas,
Vermont, Rhode Island, and the Dis­trict
of Columbia, and the foreign
countries of Cuba, Germany, Mexi­co,
Armenia, and the Canal Zone of
Panama. Attempts will be made to
reach all these students personally
within the next few days, but if any
are overlooked it is hoped that they
will consider this sufficient invitation
to be present.

Students Are Excused
From Drill Saturday
With the approval of the presi­dent
of the institution the military
department announces that there will
be no drill held on Saturday, Feb­ruary
27.
Effective immediately and contin­uing
until further announcement is
made the uniform of all R. O. T. C.
students at drill will be blouses and
white shirts. The uniform for class
will remain optional, either white or
gray shirts being permissable.
The members of the military staff
expressed their appreciation for, and
congratulations on the excellent ap­pearance
of the R. O. T. C. units
in the parade on Washington's
birthday.
Control of Industry
Is Debate Question
At the last meeting of the Auburn
debating society it was announced
that there would be a debate next
Monday night on the question, "re­solved
that congress should enact
legislation providing ior centralized
control of industry." This is the
question which will be debated
against Birmingham-Southern in a
few weeks. The affirmative of this
question will be upheld by Justin
Morrill and W. H. Baskerville; while
Douglas Brown and N. S. Hare will
support the negative.
Since it is not long until Auburn
will begin its heavy schedule of in­tercollegiate
debates, it is hoped that
all of the old members will return to
the society. Visitors and friends are
welcomed to come out and hear the
debates.
NOTICE^!
Scabbard and Blade members will
place reservations for plates at the
annual banquet, in the box at the
Tiger Drug Co. The box will be
placed uptown Thursday.
Auburn's chances of trouncing
North Carolina State in the opening
round of the Southern Conference bas­ketball
tournament in Atlanta Friday
wre somewhat dimmed today when
Coach Sam McAllister announced that
recent injuries to Capt. Jack Stewart,
center, and Lindley Hatfield, guard,
probably would hamper their playing
in the tourney.
Captain Stewart sprained his ankle
in the Georgia game over a week ago
and has not been able to practice
since the Bulldogs were downed here,
26-24, February 15. McAllister in­tends
to start his brilliant leader
against the Wolfpack, but said that
he might be able to play three min­utes
or less or that he might be able
to play an entire game. His physical
condition is a mystery at present, and
how fast his ankle has responded to
expert treatment from Trainer Wil­bur
Hutsell will not be determined
until the Tigers initial conference tilt.
However, it is known that the lay­off
since the Georgia game has not
helped Stewart.
Hatfield was injured in the return
game with Georgia Tech in Atlanta
February 1,13, but it was not known
until this week that the injury would
cause trouble. In some manner he
was pushed or shoved against the .iron
supports of the backboards on Tech's
court and wounded an ear, which has
affected his hearing. He has been
unable to reach his best playing form
since the fray with Yellow Jackets
and it remains to be seen how he will
perform in the conference carnival.
He should be in better playing condi­tion
than Stewart, however, because
he has not had to miss any of the
practice drills in preparation for the
tournament.
If Stewart and Hatfield are off
form against North Carolina State,
the Plainsmen will probably meet dis­aster
in their first game. The Raleigh
five was barely nosed out here last
year in an extra period contest, 30-28,
and Coach Ray Sermon has several
of the players back who gave Mc­Allister's
quintet so much trouble in
1931. Sermon's charges would give
Auburn a tough battle if every Tiger
was in perfect physical and mental
shape.
Knowing that Stewart and Hatfield
might not be able to play for any
length of time Friday evening, Mc­Allister
has been using David Ariail,
sophomore, and Harbin Lawson, sen­ior,
a good deal at center and guard.
They have teamed with Tom "Little
Papa" Lumpkin, one of the leading
scorers in the South, and Ralph Jor­dan
at forwards and Charles Kaley
at the other guard. They have been
showing up well, but the team is
weakened without Stewart and Hat­field.
Stewart, Hatfield, Kaley, Lumpkin
and Jordan have played together as a
five man machine for two years and
it is almost impossible for another
wearer of the Orange and Blue to
break into the starting line-up and
show up as well as one of the vete­rans.
Coach Sam McAllister, Manager
Harold Williams and nine players will
leave here for the tournament Friday
morning. The players making the
trip are: Capt. Jack Stewart and
David Ariail, centers; Tom Lumpkin,
Ralph Jordan, George Jenkins and
Sam Mason, forwards, and Lindley
Hatfield, Charles Kaley and Harbin
Lawson, guards.
The Plainsman will face North
Carolina State Friday night at 7:00
o'clock with an impressive record of
11 wins and only two losses and fin­ished
their regular schedule in third
place among the conference rivals
with a record of nine victories and
two setbacks.

DR. PAUL BOMAR
In passing, Dr. Paul Bomar leaves be­hind
a trail blazed in the creation of fol­lowers
to his faith no matter where he
heralded it. Spending the greater part
of his life in the furtherance of his beloved
religion he was forced in the latter part
of his life to retire from active ministry and
church work because he had given so much
in his earlier years. His unquestionable
self denial led him to numberless friend­ships
and established him as one of the
moving elements in the development of re­ligion
in the South. As a college president
he carried his institution/to greater heights
and as a minister he did even more. Com­bining
competence with unfailing zealous-ness.
he has forever established his name
as one who lived and died with one stand­ard—
service.
WASHINGTON AND THE CRITICS
Debunking in life writing has been an
outgrowth of the present age. Modern
writers seem possessed of chortless, brutal
desires to destroy every remaining vestage
of American respect in anything that has
been, at one time or another, eugloized by
the older school. A sense of sincerity and
unbiased reasoning admits that this is well
to some extent. We have seen the host de­scend
upon the name of Washington, and
observed the sneers from the sidelines, dur­ing
the nationwide celebration of Monday.
It is easy to brand those myths of the
cheery tree and superman actions as over­loads
of fulsome praise. Yet, Washington
as the man of character, leader, and dynam­ic
force in the creation of our nation stand
untainted in the minds of the American
people today.
PRAYER FOR THE PRESS
The Montgomery Advertiser comments
on an invocation rendered recently by an
inmate of Kilby Prison. The prayer was
to this effect:
Our Heavenly Father, we pray for
the newspapers and writers of our
Country. Help them to know that the
world does appreciate them in their
struggles to make this a better land
in which to live. Bless the newsgath-erers
of the World who do as much as
any class to help this land to a higher
level.
This should be refreshing to every mem­ber
of the fourth estate. Prayers for the
press have become a rarity, and we fail
to recall every having heard one of this
nature. The pulpit often makes mention
of the newspaper, but usually in the man­ner
of impressing upon the public that
every paper is subsidized by exponents of
prohibition repeal. Often the gods of
wrath are called down upon journalists,
but heavenly assistance is usually consid­ered
beyond the pale of the press.
After all the minister and the editor
are supposedly striving for the same goal,
and it is hoped that the words of a "life
sentencer" will do something to unite them
in a common cause.
AN ABSURD SYSTEM
Beginning this year the local college lib­rary
has adopted a system of book regula­tion
that is designed to almost exclusive­ly
confine certain books to the use of fresh­men.
This system has probably been work­ed
out with the idea that the first year
men need to read more than their elders
do, and that the most choice books of the
library should be placed entirely at their
disposal. Due to straitened financial cir­cumstances,
the influx of new books has
been maintained • solely from a small fee
paid by each freshman, and these new
books are all placed on the freshman shelf.
In order to obtain the use of one of these
new books the upperclassman has to pre­sent
a card duly signed and swathed in red
tape; and then he can take only one book
at a time out of this restricted shelf. There
are several hundred books in this group,
the choicest and newest books in the library;
yet their use is confined to a limited num­ber
of students, although they constitute the
outside reading work for a number of other
courses..
It is to be hoped that an educational at­titude
will some day be adopted by the li­brary,
when all books, in voluminous quan­tities
will be placed at the disposal of every
ambitious reader; all the freshmen books
cannot be read in one year, and the liter­ary
background of the Auburn upperclass­man
is a thing of uncertain properties.
THE NEXT PRESIDENT
This paper has restrained from dwelling
on such moralizing as is typical of Dr.
Glenn Frank. However, he seems to have
sounded the keynote for the public's desires
in selecting the next President.
Dr. Frank says that this man of destiny,
should we be lucky enough to find him, will
be bigger than his platform. Those words
ring with cheer to the political mind that is
not too partisan to appreciate their signi­ficance.
The youth newly endowed with the right
of franchise looks upon the political chaos
and sighs with disgust as he sees the teach­ing
of his grammar school civics crushed
to the cold pavement of disillusion.
Thoughts that American politics was the
machinery of a government unerring in the
disposition of justice, liberty, and admin­istration,
fade before glimpses of intrigues,
graft, and ambitious soap box politicians.
Youth's faith in existing governmental
agencies would become greatly strengthen­ed
should we find this man "bigger than
his platform."
THE STUDENT IN POLITICS
In this issue is printed a letter from a
former McGill men now at the University
of Berlin describing student elections and
the political feelings of .the student body
at that institution. Here we have a true
picture of that much-praised creature of
whom we have heard so much, the student
in politics.
Germany is one of the happy hunting
grounds of the politically minded under­graduate.
Upon the theory that the stu­dent,
like all youths, will have to eventually
run the country, and, as a student, is
presumed to possess a higher mentality than
the average, there has been built up the
highly pugnacious and, to boot, loquacious,
movements whose end is the perfection of
the fatherland.. "Let us be done with the
bungling and the old-fashioned methods of
our elders," they say, "let* us apply the
keen and open mind of youth to the prob­lems
of the state." •
But for all the professed ideals the stu­dent
politician cuts a sorry figure, if we
are to believe our correspondent. He writes,
"As in all political campaigns everywhere
the voice of reason is not heard." The
young enthusiasts express their platforms
to the accompaniment of fist-fights, cat­calls
and race riots. And they take it all
very seriously.
It may be true that the attitude of the
Canadian and American student toward
the political affairs of his own and other
countries is almost criminal in its indiffer­ence
and betrays an immature lack of un­derstanding
of vital affairs. But the sad
condition in Berlin shows that when the
undergraduate approaches politics he is as
likely to submerge hemself in mob opinion
as the next man, and exhibit that blind
partisanship which the intelligent student
of national affairs must deplore. Nothing
has been contributed but an added number
of rabid adherents to the causes of already
violent opportunists.

Book Review
WOLSEY, by Hilaire Belloc; Lippincott.
$5.00.
One is so accustomed to dutifully im­partial,
or cynically detached, biography
that it is rather refreshing to have Hilaire
Belloc indulge in a militant bias. Mr. Bel­loc
is a Catholic first, and an historian sec­ond.
If there is any conflict between his
two roles, the former wins out. Last sea­son
Richelieu got his rebuke. This year it
is Wolsey. Both of them, it seems, were re­sponsible
in their different ways for break­ing
up the unity of Catholic Europe. For
this, whatever their other achievements, Mr.
Belloc cannot forgive them. He considers
that the English Cardinal's great defects
were a lack of vision beyond the immedi­ate
present, a lack of spirituality, an in-

After one hundred and fifty years' of
idolizing, the American people are begin­ning
to accept the truth about George
Washington. Countless biographies of the
first president have been printed since his
death, but it has remained for modern writ­ers
to tell the truth about him. Probably
the most comprehensive and unbiased study
of Washington has been written by W. E.
Woodward, in his biographical essay,
George Washington, the Image and the
Man. Woodward, following the modern bi­ographical
trend, writes in a light, wise­cracking
style; however, he is faithful to
the facts, and his book may be accepted as
authoritative. Many absurd stories are dis­approved,
and the blunders of the "Father
of our Country" are uncovered in a con­vincing
manner. After finishing Wood­ward's
book, one is left with the picture of
a hardshell farmer, a muddling statesman,
a blundering soldier, and a man of great
character.

While we are on biography, we may note
the.death of the leading modern figure in
life-writing, Lytton Strachey. It was
Strachey who'set the style for most of the
present-day biographies, it was Strachey
who forsook the stout two-volume panegy­ric
of the Victorian authors and it was
Strachey who dared make fun of the lead­ing
figures of the nineteenth century in a
style that is both rollicking and lucid.
ability to penetrate the deeper, less obvious
motives of men, and an inflated ambition
that was too largely personal. At first,
Wolsey comes off better than the other
members of the cast. Henry VIII is pic­tured
as an indecisive weakling, Anne Bo-leyn
as a scheming villainess destitute of
physical charm. (Her portrait, one feels,
is grossly caricatured). None of them play
quite the roles which conventional history
has assigned. , It is for this reason, apart
from its more solid merits, that Mr. Belloc's
new biography is so interesting. It may
be violently partisan; it may be slightly in­accurate;
nevertheless it supplies a fresh
viewpoint, and does so with considerable
piquancy.
THE CASE FOR INDIA, by .Will Durant;
Sim-on & Schuster. $2.00.
Dr. Durant went to India to help himself
in visualizing a people whose cultural his­tory
he had been studying for a forthcoming
volume on civilization. He went casually,
believing that England's government of this
people was as satisfactory as the situation
warranted. He came away convinced that
self-government of India by the Hindus
could have no worse results than the pres­ent
form. Admitting that the briefness of
his trip did not give him an infallible un­derstanding
of conditions, nevertheless Dr.
Durant's emotions were so roused by the
condition which he saw that he could
scarcely contain himself in his desire to
help liberate India. This book surveys in
the light of his experiences the work and
power of Gandhi, and, as counsel for both
sides, Dr. Durant presents the case for Eng­land
as well as the case for Indian.
'N BY E' written and illustrated by Rock­well
Kent; Brewer and Warren. $3.50.
Something over a year ago three men
put to sea in a tiny boat. There was the
skipper, the mate, and the cook. The lat­ter
it is who tells the tale. Fascinated by
the knowledge that two lads were starting
off on such a wild jaunt, Rockwell Kent
persuaded them to take him along — and
the book is his diary, very fully illustrated.
In fact, it is difficult to decide where the
pictures stop and the writing begins, since
Mr. Kent is equally picturesque in word or
line. Occasionally there are lapses from
the moment at hand to a memory, but so
inimitable are the anecdotes that one wish­es
there had been more reminiscence. Espe­cially
breath taking is the description of
thawing out the dynamite.

body—and all because he has been
forced to prepare a semi-weekly galley of
copy under the title, "With Other, Col­leges".

One of the most deserving needs for re­form
has been uncovered by a female cru­sader
as she combines both her unques­tioned
subtly and unrivaled Elizabethian
style in a letter to the editor published in
the "Wo-Co-Ala News". The young lady
comes forth in a most convincing manner
with the bare facts about the lack of dry­ing
facilities for student bathing suits.
Give the little mermaid a great big hand!
And here it is:
"Dear Editor:
"Something should be done about
the way in which the bathing suits are
dried at the swimming pool.
"As soon as a swimmer gets out of
the pool, still shivering from half-heat­ed
water, she pulls off her cold bath­ing
suit, soaked with an antiseptic that
* eats so many holes in a suit that one
doesn't know how long it will last
without falling off and embarrassing
her, financially and otherwise. The
suit is thrown in a tub of water, along
with a dozen or so others, all different
fadable colors and shades, and allow­ed
to soak until a maid comes and
wrings it and hangs it in the drying
room. This room is a dark and damp
place, a slaughter place for suits, that
delights in helping the depression in
the sale of bathing suits.
"Of coui-se the suit is rarely ever
dry and certainly won't last long un­der
such conditions. One does not
like to buy and ruin two bathing suits
a year—and suits are expensive in
winter. Just figure up how much two
bathing suits a year for two years (if
the person is not too discouraged to
take swimming the second year) cost
—and blame us if you can for want­ing
better drying means. We have
a good pool, but a good drying
room?—no!"

Being in a very clipping mood today,
since we have started out by clipping the
head of this column and then by clipping
a clipping from the W. C. A. News, we
continue with a clipping from the "Orange
and White", the title of which must
originally have been, "watch your hoo-hoo's
and ha-ha's". Not that we have
very much faith in psychological experi­ments
but since we belong to the ha-ha
class we fall a victim to our retiring mo­desty
and add a bit of copy to this already
corrupted column. Having had very little
experience with Vassar it would be pos-tively
libellous to say that they even have
a sense of humor. Try this on your one
and only, maybe you are missing some­thing
:
"That your laugh indicates the type
of humor you possess and is an out­ward
sign of your true character, is
the startling result of an experiment
conducted by Dr. Polyxenie Kam-bouropoulou,
psychologist at Colum­bia
University, New York. The doc­tor
arrived at her conclusions after
an intensive study of one hundred stu­dents
at Vassar College, each of whom
kept a 'humor diary' for the purpose
of the experiment. The doctor de­clares
that persons who express mirth
with a 'Hee-Hee!' are merely indulg­ing
in the 'hiss and sneer of a trick-ishly-
gained victory'. Those who laugh
'Ho-Ho!' says the doc, are actually
scoffing in self-exaltation—like a
rooster does the crowing, one pre­sumes,
after the hen has done the
work. The only expression of glee
which meets with the approval of Dr.
Kambouropoulou is the old 'Ha-Ha!'—
although that lends itself to more than
one interpretation, such as 'giving the
boss the ha-ha.' However, as the test
was made with the 'gentle' sex as the
subject, the not-so-gentle element can
reasonably indulge in a good 'Hee-hee!
Ho-ho! or Ha-ha!' and still have a
little hope of salvation.

Either for want of space filler or un­usual
interest in our sister institution this
publication has been waging an unwar­ranted
battle upon the buxom and blithe
lassies up Montevallo way. Personally we
are enjoying it, and would joyfully stand
such scathing jabs as the widely heralded
cartoon of recent date. However, if the
lassies wish we shall be only too glad to
hoist high our flag of truce, waving a sa­lute
to Alabama's future womanhood. In
the gusto of this bow let us include our
congratulations for such a thorough squelch­ing
from feminine ingenuity. It is ,re,-
freshing at least to see womankind crash
into the realms of cleverness.

EDITOR'S NOTE: The opinions expressed in this
column are not necessarily the editorial opinions of
this paper. It is a column of personal comment,
and is not to be read as an expression of our
editorial policy.
* * * *
CLETUS realizes more than ever that
it is foolish to try to please every­body.
It seems that everybody does
not want to be pleased, and the fact is that
if the author was pleased he would be
without a subject on which to write.
* * * *
Cletus has been complimented several
times, since the last issue of The Plains­man,
on his change of heart, and especial­ly
has the point been brought out that the
column in Saturday's issue will make a
wonderful impression on the people out
over the state. In fact the good will thus
developed might even result in some friend
of the institution giving us enough money
to build a stadium. And on top of that
just think what might have resulted if the
whole Plainsman had followed that same
policy throughout the year. It is not be­yond
the bounds of reason to imagine that
we would have added twenty-six new
buildings to our campus, one hundred and
fifty-six new athletic coaches to our pres­ent
staff, and some unimportant person with
a misconceived idea of what education
should really mean might even have been
fool enough to partly endow one research
assistant.
That part about the research assistant is
very doubtful, however, because a research
endowment does not usually have a corner­stone
with the doner's name carved in ever­lasting
marble. Also to stay within the
bounds of reason it .will be necessary to ex­clude
the possibility of having a new lib­rary
included among our twenty-six new
buildings. The new library would have
very little direct effect in attracting more
students to Auburn so why waste the
money.
What Auburn needs to do in order to
run the other colleges in Alabama out of
business is to build twenty-six stadiums,
and then divide the institution into twenty-six
different schools, and have the students
meet classes according to the Oxford sys­tem.
Cletus will stake his professional rep­utation
as a truthful liar on the success
of this plan.
* * * *
Conscientious Cletus has ceased to be
conscientious because he has come to the
conclusion that the only way to get along
in the world is to never tell the truth. Tell
people what they want to hear and noth­ing
more because friendship is the most
valuable thing in life. Rush up to your
friend, being careful to always have a
beaming smile on your face, slap him on
the back, offer him a cigar, and then re­peat
with great effectiveness, "what a fine
fellow you are". That is the way to be
elected to membership in the Hundred and
Twenty Million Club, and just think how
bad you would feel if you were on the out­side
of this leading social organization.
* * * *
Above all do not forget that the way to
make friends is to never tell the truth.
Cletus believes this so firmly that he is go­ing
to do the unheard of and try his own
suggestion. Judging from the success of
this policy in Saturday's Plainsman, Cletus
will s'oon be running for president on the
Democratic ticket. Of course it is under­stood
that he will have the support of all
the important men in Auburn, especially
the self-appointed student leaders.
* * * *
Auburn has the most efficient book-store
of any college town in the south because re­gardless
of what kind of book you want the
store will be glad to order it for you, and
come to think of it there are not many
book-stores that will cooperate to such an
extent. Of course you have to pay for this
service, but everyone knows that you can­not
get something for nothing, and every
Auburn student should realize that the
overhead expenses of a book-store are very
great. Also if a man can get what he
wants he should be willing to pay for it.
The greatest service comes, however, in
the full cooperation that the store gives
in handling the student's second-hand books.
Every text-book that is to be used for an­other
semester will be gladly bought by the
book-store, and the management always
considers closely the original price paid for
the book. When a fair price has been set­tled
on by the management and the stu­dent
a mere ten percent is added to it and
the book is then offered for re-sale. An­other
store with the same monopoly that
our present one has might take advantage
of the students in this connection, and with
this in mind every student should express
his appreciation of the consideration now
being shown.

MORE FUNDS NEEDED BY SOCIETY
FOR AID OF CRIPPLED CHILDREN
Need for N ew Members Urgent to Promote Wider, Sympathetic
Understanding of Work and to Raise Sufficient Funds to
Serve Those in Serious Need of Attention
By Dr. Paul Irvine
. The Alabama Society for Crippled
Children is interested in providing
surgical treatment and hospitaliza­tion
for hundreds of Alabama child­ren
who are crippled. There is great
urgency in its call for new members
at this time, first, because of the
need for a wider, sympathetic under­standing
of the work it is attempting
to do, and second, because the funds
appropriated by the state have prov­en
insufficient to serve all those who
are in crying need of attention.
The Society was founded in 1926
and the work has grown in scope un­der
the presidency of Mr. W. H.
Archer of Sheffield. In all parts of
the state are small groups of citizens
who have loyally promoted this great
humanitarian work. Now there is
a call for a greater number of public
spirited citizens and lovers of child­ren
to familiarize themselves with
the aims and activities of this or­ganization.
Mr. H. E. Gentry, executive secre­tary
of the Society says: "The re­habilitation
seiVice of the State De­partment
of Education holds 26
clinics a year at the cost of about
$50 each. The average cost of hos­pitalizing
a child is about $70. About
three-fifths of the state appropria­tion
is spent for hospitalization,
which takes care of about 125 cases.
Hospitalization of all other cases of
crippled children has to be taken care
of through the Alabama Society for
Crippled children. Last year we hos­pitalized
221 cases or about 100
which could not have been provided
for without the funds of this socie­ty."

There are 800 cripple.d children
how on the waiting list, their cases
having been diagnosed, their parents
consenting to treatment. Most of
these cases must wait except as
funds are provided by the contribu­tions
of membership in this society
by friends of children. Sixteen of
these cases are in Lee County.
Citizens of Alabama will be im­pressed
by the- fact that 40 per cent
of these crippled children who are
operated upon thereby become capa­ble
of normal development and can
grow up to normal maturity in their
social and economic relations. This
one fact indicates the great finan­cial
economy of dealing with these
cases while young. And it does not
detract from the great boon of hu­man
happiness which is granted these
growing children.
The week of February 28th to
March 5 has been chosen as Member­ship
Week in Lee County. All citi­zens
of Lee County are invited and
urged to lend their support to this
work of human sympathy. All mon­ey
collected by this Society is used
for one purpose only—that of paying
hospital fees for cases that cannot
otherwise be treated.
Membership cards may be had from
the writer, who is chairman for Lee
County.
Mrs. Toomer To Speak
At Missionary Society
An address on the life and work
of the famous Labrador missionary
doctor, Sir Wilfred T. Grenfell, will
be delivered by Mrs. S. L. Toomer
when the Auburn Federated Mission­ary
Society holds its first meeting of
the year at the Methodist Church on
Monday afternoon, 3:00 o'clock, Feb­ruary
29.
Interest in the work of Sir Wilfred
is keen among Auburn townspeople
because of his visit and lecture here
in the Spring of 1928. He spoke in
Langdon Hall before a capacity audi­ence
to which he related the occa­sion
which caused him to begin his
life of ministry to the destitute na­tives
in Labrador. Many hospitals
and schools have been established
through his efforts. His able efforts
have provoked huge donations for
his work from American and British'
philanthropists.

the devotional. Officers of the So­ciety

Civics Department
Woman's Club Meets
The civics department of the Au­burn
Woman's Club held its regular
monthly meeting at the home of Mrs.
Jude Robinson, Sanford. avenue
Thursday afternoon February 18th.
The subject featured was "The Flow­er
Garden". After a short business
meeting Miss Mary Martin discussed
briefly timely plantings for the
month of February. Mr. L. M. Ware
of the botany department of A. P. I.
gave a most informative talk on the
flower garden dealing with the prob­lems
of inclosure and design and
suitable plantings, stressing particu­larly
the small formal garden. A
bulletin showing the season of bloom
for annuals planted at various times
of the year was given to each mem­ber
of the club. The data contained
in these bulletins is based upon ex­periments
made by the college horti­culture
department at its greenhouses
and gardens and taken from the rec­ords
of 1927.
After the program tea was served
by the hostess assisted by Mrs. W.
B: Lee and Mrs. H. L. Watts.
The next meeting of the civics de­partment
of the Woman's Club, more
familiarly known as the garden de­partment,
will be held March 17, at
the home of Mrs. S. F. Brewster, 360
E. Magnolia avenue. The topic for
discussion will be "The Lawn" and
Mrs. B. F. Thomas will be the chief
speaker.
Ag Paragraphs
One of the most interesting and
practical experiments being carried
out on ag hill at the present time is
being conducted by Mr. Grimes, Mr.
Sewell and Mr. Cottier, of the animal
husbandry department. They are
comparing protein supplements, with
a. basic ration of white corn. While
the main object of the experiment
is to determine the Relative value of
different types of protein supple­ments,
some very valuable data is
being obtained on vitamin "A".
—0—
Fattening hogs are being used in
the experiment. Five pens of nine
hogs each are being fed on various
rations, all containing white corn as
a basis, and either tankage, cotton
seed meal, peanut meal, skim milk,
or a commercial protein supplement.
The experiment has been in progress
for nine weeks, and will continue for
several weeks longer—just how much
longer depends on the condition of
the hogs. At present there are ab­normal
conditions in every pen ex­cept
the ones being fed on skim milk
arid corn, and the commercial pro­tein
supplement and corn. These ab-normalties
are in the form of ex­treme
nervous disorders. Shortly,
soybean hay is to be added in an at­tempt
to bring the hogs back to nor­mal.
Some data that will prove of
great value to the swine growers of
the state is being collected.

The program given by the Ag Club
on February 17th was undoubtedly
the best that has been given this se­mester.
Beginning with a very in­teresting
talk by Miss Bishop on "the
relation of calcium, phosphorous, and

Nevada Debaters Defend
Reno Divorce Statutes
The basic ideal behind Reno's ma­jor

of Nevada's debate team,
which "resolved" to defend the local
system of easy divorce.
Following an encounter with the
Marquette university team the Ne­vada

of arguing the question of easy
divorce as an accepted social insti­tution.

with a talk by Mr. Bailey, of the
agronomy department. Mr. Bailey
talked on a subject that has been
severely neglected by at least three-fourths
of the students on Ag Hill.
His subject was "The Senior's use of
English". After an interesting fif­teen-
minute speech Mr. Bailey offer­ed
his services to the Seniors who
need coaching in writing correct Eng­lish.
Following these talks, three stu­dents
gave their interpretations of
a "buck" dance. Other students pas­sed

with guitar and ukelele music.

County-Wide Revival
In Progress In Opelika
A county wide and interdenomi­national
revival is now in progress in
the court house at Opelika, having
begun Sunday night under the lead­ership
of Lay Evangelist Howard S.
Williams, of Mississippi, assisted by
L. J. Sewell, of Gadsden, Ala., song
leader and worker with young people.
Large crowds are said to have at­tended
the initial services of the
campaign, despite the inclement
weather Sunday. At both the after­noon
and night meetings people of
all denominations and ages went to
the court house to hear the Gospel
messages.
A special meeting for "women
only," and girls 13 years of age and
up, has been planned for Friday af­ternoon
at 2:45. o'clock, when the
evangelist will deliver his famous
talk on "God's Standard of a Wo­man."
He invites ministers, train­ed
nurses and physicians to be pres­ent.
At nearly every one of the 75
or more cities in which he has given
this lecture the crowds have been
such as to overflow the available
seating capacity of the auditoriums.
Mr. Williams will speak every
night from now until March 6, ser­vice
beginning at 7:30 o'clock. Mr.
Sewell renders a message in song
at each service, while the senior and
junior choirs give special musical of­ferings.
A meeting for "men only"
will be held at 2:30 o'clock next
Sunday afternoon.
The revival was planned by Rev.
Bob Jones, who asked Mr. Williams
to lead it. Mr. Williams is the man
who held a meeting at Herrin, 111., j
in 1925, that event giving him a!
national reputation as a soul winner.
He has the endorsement of the Minis­terial
Association of his home city,
Hattiesburg, Miss., and the former
newspaper man has been credited
with having won more than 25,000
people to Christ. He heard the
Auburn Glee Club in a concert at
Opelika Saturday night and highly
praised their program.

Auburn Glee Club Gives
Performance Saturday
The Auburn Glee Club put on an
enjoyable performance in Opelika
Saturday night at Palmer Hall be­fore
a large crowd. The musical
numbers were exceptionally well ren­dered
and received much applause.
The quartette made a big hit with the
crowd. The audience seemed to be
well pleased with the performance
and many complimentary comments
were heard.
"The Love Doctor", a musical

SPECIAL EXERCISES ON SUNDAY
AFTERNOON HONOR WASHINGTON
Dr. George Petrie Speaks on "Boyhood of George Washing­ton,"
and Captain Ott Discusses "Washington, a Peerless
Captain"; Auburn Band, Glee Club and Singing Features
Special exercises Sunday after­noon,
February 21, were held in
Langdon Hall in honor of George
Washington with Dr. George Petrie
speaking on "The Boyhood of George
Washington" and Captain E. S. Ott
discussing "Washington, a Peerless
Captain". The program of the after­noon
was completed with music by
the Auburn Band, Glee Club, and
community signing. Captain Ott's
speech is printed below:
"Washington, A Peerless
Captain"
"Fellow-lovers of Washington:
"As our nation pauses in its rush­ing
swirl of affairs incident to an age
of enlightenment, an age of mechan­ization—
an age of progress, in order
to pay part of the tribute due Wash­ington
on this 200th anniversary of
his birth, we find ourselves amazed
and refreshed from a study—or a re-study
of this man and his day; amaz­ed
at the many angles from which
he achieved greatness—even though
he sought it not; and refreshed, in
the midst of feverish endeavor inher­ent
to our present day life, from- con­templation
of that age of leisurely,
pastoral bliss, of fine gentlemen and
graceful ladies, of colorful figures of
colonial courtliness, of strong friend­ships,
of warm hospitality.
"You have read in books, pamph­lets,
magazines, and in the press;
and you have heard from radio
broadcasts and from eloquent orators
the successes of Washington as a
youthful surveyor, as a man of senti­ment,
as a man of action, as a leader
of men, as a lover of home, as a
farmer, as an educator, as a soldier,
as a statesman, as a president, and
as a christian. No matter in which
path he chose to walk, he reached
the heights; and he trod many paths.
His successes are not shrouded in the
dim and hazy light of antiquity,
where few facts might be pieced to-

gether with many clever fancies of
an ardent Egyptologist and unfolded
thus to us—a tale of wonder. His
every deed was emblazoned on the
page of written history, in our own
language, so that even the sympa­thetic
translator cannot erase a line,
or alter a word. Yet even without
distortion, the faultless record gives
him to us with so great and so good
a character that from highest to low­est,
we view with pride his sole own­ership
of the title 'Father of our
Country'; and we cannot but have
gratitude to our Creator, who, at
our nation's birth, divined the neces­sity
of such a father.
"Let Us Consider Him As A
Soldier"
"Military greatness may be judged
in several ways. To be great in the
popular eye, first, a soldier must lead
a winning fight. Generally speaking,
the vast majority of his battles must
end victoriously. And this is espe­cially
true if his contemporaries are
to judge him great. Certainly, his
campaigns must be fraught with suc­cess.
Second: he must present a
colorful figure, such as to catch and
hold the focus of public thought.
Third: his integrity of character and
of purpose must be unquestioned, so
that in the public mind there will
lurk no shadow of doubt as to the
thwarting of his country's aims, and,
finally, his cause must be just, so
that not some, but all will hold an
acute and personal interest in his
leadership.
"Let us see if Washington deser­ved
the greatness accorded to him
by the acclaim of the populace, bas­ing
our judgment on the standards
we have set.
"Washington lost many battles.
Many classed as losses he thought—
or even knew—he would lose. His
estimate of the situation was that in­dividual
battles might be lost and yet
the ultimate objective of the cam­paign
would be won. As we view the
odds against him in trained men,
arms, and equipment, it is astound­ing
that he could hope to win either
a battle or a campaign. Yet, he
never lost a campaign. It has been
said that he is a general who never
won a battle and never lost a cam­paign.
The latter part only is lit­erally
true, as Trenton, Princeton
and Yorktown were certainly victo­ries
for his arms. Opinion was ready
to forgive him the loss of battles,
even though the terrible odds were
not well understood, because of his
winning of campaigns and his final
victory which ended the war. It is
my belief that no general before or
since was left eight years at the
head of an army in the face of so
many adverse battles.
"As to his colorful figure, every
schoolboy knows. Not only was he
admired in Virginia and the other
southern colonies, but his first visit
to New England left an inspiring im­pression
that was never effaced.
"His integrity and high purpose
can best be understood from the con-

sideration of his having served with­out
pay and even without hope of
pay; and in addition his having given
largely from his personal fortune that
the struggle might be waged. Then,
at the end, he desired no more than
that he be allowed to retire to his
beloved Mt. Vernon. Could less per­sonal
greed or desire for preferment
be asked of any man?
"As to the justness of the cause
for which he sacrificed his pleasant
life and his fortune, what could be
more just than to relieve a distressed
and oppressed people from the bur­den
of arrogant, tyrannous rule? It
js difficult to picture a higher pro­fession
than that profession of arms
which saves a people from slavery.
"From this we can see why Wash­ington
was accepted as a Peerless
Captain by the rank and file.
"But does he measure up as a
great general from Ihe viewpoint of
the military critic? When measured
by the same yard stick with which
we guage an Alexander, a Hannibal,
or a Napoleon, can he stand the acid
test which detects true military gen­ius?
"From the military estimate, a
"master" captain must be endowed
in large degree with many attributes
of character. His first consideration
must be for his men; and with the
same thought he must keep summed
up his mission. He must have the
implicit trust of his followers; and a
cool brain to rightly use that trust.
He must have a steadfast determina­tion.
If he is to plan brilliant strat­egy,
he must be aggressive, daring,
audacious; but with this he must have
common sense if he is neither to vi­olate
the laws of probability nor dis­regard
the threat of possibility. He
must be resourceful to the extreme;
and yet be supplied with sufficient ex­ecutive
ability to have the creations
of his brain carried into effect. He
must have an inflexible sense of jus­tice;
with a personal disinterested­ness
that will make his decisions bear
the scrutiny of the ages. And, fin­ally,
he must have patience to pass
through many valleys; but a per­spective
that will prevent patience
from obscuring the high ground be­yond.
"Washington's military character
was a perfectly balanced composite
of these many traits. The surprising
feature to consider is that they were
all highly developed, and none could
be said to be overshadowed by oth­ers.
In none was he surpassed by
another great captain of history, and
in few was he equalled. I think that
history can produce no, other one
leader with such a marvelous assort­ment
of military attainments. And*
Washington had in combination with
these an imposing figure, a grave,
masterful face, and a personal brav­ery
far beyond the ordinary. So out­standing
was he in an age of extra­ordinary
men that his leadership was
undisputed for the entire war.
"Moses may haVfe been endowed
with marvelous patience and perspec­tive,
as he marched his hosts up and
down for twenty years of training;
but he lacked aggressiveness, auda­ciousness
and daring.
"Alexander the Great may have
been as implicitly trusted by his fol­lowers,
as his phalanx crushed the
world; but he lacked common sense
to practice temperance in all things.
"Hannibal may have had equal ag­gressiveness,
audaciousness and dar­ing
when he flung his defiant lance
against the very gate of Rome; but,
had he possessed the resourcefulness
of Washington, Rome would have
been forced to bend her knee.
"Genghis Khan, as he led his Gold­en
Horde westward from Mongolia
and marched it victoriously over nfti-ety
degrees of longitude, some seven
hundred years ago, may have had as
great a determination to win. General
Harbord said recently that through
a great part of eight years Wash­ington's
will to win was the only
remaining barrier to prevent the
crushing of the colonies by England.
And we know that Genghis Khan had
little consideration for his men, and
no patience. Dr. Adams, of the Uni­versity
of Michigan, believes that the
word patience best describes Wash­ington
as a military leader.
"Timur the Great, or Tamerlane
the Earth Shaker, may have exhibit­ed
as much personal energy as he
led his Tartar horsemen in the con­quering
of most of the world; but
he lacked Washington's cool, calcu­lating
brain—and so he was unable
t6 unify the empire he had won.
"The illustrious Napoleon may have
had an inflexible sense of justice as
he conquered and ruled people after
people; but he cannot be said to have
had a personal disinterestedness, as
ambition gripped him to her bosom.
"And so the tale can be unfolded.
Bit by bit, we can learn that Washing­ton
as a military genius had no peer.
"How could so much be embodied
in one individual? Legend says that
as a boy he played at war—and lead
the other boys. We know that he
studied fencing and was thrown early
in life with military and naval peo­ple.
We know he spent nights under
the stars, as a surveyor; that he was
messenger to the French and Indians,
and later a Colonial officer in the
Royal Forces against them. And we
can readily picture that from all of
this he learned many of the things
he used thereafter. We may guess
that he learned the efficiency of the
Indian method of warfare as com­pared
to the accepted tactics of the
European armies; that he learned the
idea of unexpectedly attacking at
night or in winter—when the British
had suspended all idea of further ope­rations;
and that he thought much
over ways to wage war, which
thoughts he later reduced to writing
as six principles of war—principles
that are as effective now as they
were then.
"It would seem that a Divine
hand, as it guided his destiny, ordain­ed
that from each experience in life
he should receive a lesson, or les­sons—
that would stand him in good
stead when necessity confronted him.
"Thus according to. every standard
by which we evaluate him as a sol­dier—
the sharp estimation of his as­sociates,
the unstjnted favor of gen­eration
after generation, or the rule
and line of the military man^—he
stands pre-eminent.
"What is our plain duty as his ad­mirers?
Let us accept the challenge
embodied in that famous quotation
from Shakespeare "The evil that men
•do lives after them, the good is oft
interred with their bones" and let
us, together strive that his name shall
never be defamed nor his honor ma­ligned,
so "that—through the ages he
will be the one Washington, the peer­less
Captain."
*Y NOTES
It is very fortunate that we have
been able to secure "Dad" Elliott to
deliver the addresses during Religious
Week. Due to his limited time in the
south we were only able to get him
here on the campus for four days in­stead
of six, as has been the custom
in the past. However, through the
group contacts and meetings we hope
to arrange, we feel that his sincere
personality can greatly influence our
campus and campus life. Those who
have attended Blue Ridge can well
remember the Bible study and var­ious
other groups which "Dad" held
there.
"Dad" Elliott was not only a Y.
M. C. A. leader while in college but
also an outstanding man in athletics.
He was chosen one year as an all-western
end. He also captained the
track team. We are indeed thankful
that we are able to have such a man
come and visit us for a few days.
—0—
As a follow-up of "Dad" Elliott's
visit we are planning to conduct our
"Fraternity - go - to - church month".
Each spring the "Y" puts on this pro­gram
in an endeavor to create a deep­er
interest on the part of our fra­ternity
groups on the religious ser­vices
and activities of our town and
campus. We hope that these men
will not think that we are urging
them to attend church for just a
month or just to win some trophy,
but that we are trying to interest
them in the religious activities of
I the various denominations. This part
of the "Y" program has certainly
proved worthwhile before and we
feel sure that it will meet with the
same success this year.

out the course.
The board of trustees, in 1927, re­moved
the department of architec­ture
from the school of engineering
and architecture and made it into a
separate school of architecture with
its own independent organization and
dean. In 1929 the name was chang­ed
to school of architecture and al­lied
arts, and another department
created, the department of applied
art. Under this department two
four-year degree courses were offer­ed,
one in interior decoration and
the other in commercial and graphic
art. In 1930 the department of ar­chitecture
added a four-year course
in landscape architecture carrying
the bachelor's degree.
By the summer of 1930 the school
of architecture and allied arts had
grown to such an extent that it was
found necessary to remodel the old
chemistry and pharmacy buildings
for the accommodation of its two de­partments,
architecture and applied
art. These buildings occupy a prom­inent
position on the college campus
and provide ample accommodations
for the ten members of the school
faculty and the 140 students, now
registered in the five degree courses
offered; architecture, architectural
engineering, landscape architecture,
interior decoration and' commercial
and graphic ats.
