Seek to Avoid Conflict With New York Production Which

Has Original Cast

Negotiations for the presentation of Channing Pollock’* new romantic tlranm, “ Tlie House B eautifu l,” by the original New York troups sponsored by the fa ­mous proilueer, Crosbv Gaige, in Law­rence Memorial chapel Friday evening, Dec. 11, have been completed by the Lawrence college theatre.

Presentation of the Sunset club play “ To the Ladies” has been postponed from Dee. S to .fan. 8, F. Theodore Cloak, dram atic coach and assistant professor of public speaking, announced Sunday. This action was taken to avoid a con­flict with the production of “ The House B eautiful.”

“ The House B eautifu l” is said to be the most significant play by the author distinguished for his brilliant dramas— ‘ • The Fool, ” “ The Enemy, ” “ Mr. Money penny,” “ The Sign on the Door,” “ Roads of Destiny,” and other successes. Here Mr. Pollock has woven a play that deals with 30 years in the lives of two commonplace, everyday peo­ple who love each other and their home.

B eautifu l P layTheir comedies and tragedies are the

little comedies and tragedies of every day, but the woman, Jennifer, has the power of vision to see that the hap- penings of every day may be as roman­tic and glamorous as anything that hap- l>ened centuries ago at King A rthur’s court. Through her eyes, Archie, her youthful husband, is a knight in a r ­mor fighting the battle of life for her. “ The House B eautifu l” is established within her heart and within the four walls of her home.

The New York company making the presentation is on a tour following its long run in New York and prior to an engagement iu Chicago which o|iens Dec. 25. Professor Cloak feels that the Lawrence college theatre is extremely fortunate in procuring a production of such high calibre. It should prove a distinct attraction to members of the student body, he says.

Lawrence will o|>en its 1M3I-32 debate season tomorrow noon liefore the Mcna- sha Rotary club when Edwin West, '32, meets Marcus Plant, ’32, on the subject, “ Resolved: That federal legislation be-

| enacted embodying the essential fea­tures of the Stuart-Chase plan for the stabilization of business.” W tst will uphold the affirmative and Plant the

i negative.On Thursday two Lawrence teams will

debate on the same <|uestion before the Wfightstown high school assembly. The personnel of the teams has not been an­nounced by Coach A. L. Franzke.

Faculty Changes Marking System

Major Requirement is Raised to 45 Grade Points for 36 Hours.

Action which will increase the ma­jo r requirem ent of Ijiw rence college students was taken by the faculty in adopting the new grading system F ri­day. (effective immediately 45 grade points will be required to fill the ma­jo r requirement, or an average of 1.25 points in 30 hours of major work.

There is no longer any connection be­tween letters and numerical grades in the new system which supplants 31 markings by five. “ A ” will be given for excellent work; “ B ” for work classed as good; for work whichis fa ir ; “ I>” for passing work; and “ F ” for failing work. The method of aw arding grade points rem ains the same.

Averages will lie calculated on the ratio between hours and grade points; points divided by hours giving the av ­erage of the s tu d en t’s work.

Honors a t G raduationHonors at graduation will be given

on the basis of points per hour; an a v ­erage of 2.75 |>oints for summa cum laude, 2.50 points for magna cum laude, ami 2.25 points for cum laude. Whether th is ra tio will effect the class of 1932 is pending action by the faculty .

High honors will lie aw arded to those who have an average of 2.75 points, and honors to those who have a n av ­erage of 2.25 points.

D epartm ental honors require an av ­erage of 2.50 points in the major.

Griffiths Presents Initial Address on ‘'Some Aspects of

I>r. Joseph H. Griffiths of the pay- chology department <>|>ened his series of radio lectures last T nesday when he presented the initial address of his gen­eral topic, “ Some As|iects of Human N ature.” This group of lectures will Is* continued for the next three weeks.

“ The E arth 's History When Wiscon­sin Was Asleep,” was discussed by Rufus Bagg on Wednesday of last week. Dr. Bagg explained that a fte r the with­drawal of the seas covering the Wiscon­sin area toward the close of the Paleo­zoic Age the state was never again cov­ered by marine waters. This phenomena was termed 4' The most striking fact in the geological history of Wisconsin, since every adjoining state was rejieatedly sub­merged until almost the close o f modern tim e.” The Glaciul Age and its effect on the territory that is now Hie United States was also discussed.

Miss Dorothy Waples reviewed and discussed two books on Monday of this week. Coewell’s “ L ife of Robert B urns” was characterised as “ More than a mere biography. The work takes hitherto contradictory speeches and events and gives them a logical causa­tion so as to make Burns seem a nor­mal person.” The book is a new style biography in that it gives interpreta­tions of events and does not merely record them. “ Tom Jones” by Henry Fielding was reviewed as “ The beet novel of the age.”

Gives Japanese Point of View

Maso Morikawa, Japan, Discusses Problem of Relations

of Manchuria

“ Manchuria, the Far Kastern Volcano of International Relations” was the sub­ject of an address by Masao Morikawa of Japan in convocation Monday morn­ing. Mr. Morikawa is a Japanese stu­dent at the Cniversitv of Chicago and a member of the staff of the Doshisha uni­versity of Kyoto, Japan.

Mr. Morikawa discussed the present state of affairs in which Manchuria is involved |>olitically and economically es|iecia)ly with Russia, Japan, China, and the I ’nited States, and the League of Nations.

Russia is vitally interested in Man­churia because of the miles of railway which she owns on Manchurian territory, but at present her attitude is that of a quiet observer, the speaker said. The United States, having invested approxi­mately <150,000,000 in Manchuria, is naturally interested in the preservation of this economic interest, but wishes the solution of the difficulties to be in a legal way.

The league of Nations a fter having unsuccessfully tried persuasion resolved to try boycott in accordance with A r­ticle 16 of the League of Nations treaty but this boycott would be effective only with the aid of the United States. As for Japan and China, each is concerned in the situation both politically and eco­nomically.

The solution, according to Mr. Mori­kawa, to relieve the situation as it exists today will be to give China her political and Japan her economic rights in Man­churia.

VIOLINIST IS ACCLAIMED BY MANYCRIT1CS

Varied and Difficult Program Will Be Presented by

Artist

Joseph Szigeti, H ungary’s greatest violinist, will ap|iear in Lawrence Me­morial cha|>el tomorrow evening at 8:20 o'clock as the second of the Artist Series presentations this year.

The a r t is t ’s program is divided into three major groups and contains some of the foremost compositions for the vio­lin. The complete program follows:

La FoliaI.

II.

Corelli

Concerto in D Major, Nov. 4 - Mozart (Cadenzas by Joachim)

AllegroAndante

Rondo

II I .•Nkgun, from “ Baal Shem” - Bloch •Sicliano et Rigaudon Francoeur-Kreisler

Fontaine de Arethuse - Szymanowski "Zephyr . . . . Hubay

Wide Praise Szigeti has won praise in Europe and

America. His style, his tone, his tech­nique, his (lersonal appearance, his suc­cess with the public have been the sub­ject o f flattering reviews.

In ,1,/indon the I>*'Iv Telegrapl pyo claims him the most brilliant violinist now before the pnblic. Ernest Newman of the London Sunday Times expresses the playing of Szigeti in one word, “ Ex­quisite.”

In the Berlin Tageblatt Dr. A. E in­stein said of his playing, “ Ultimate mastery. ’ ’

Kmile Yuilermoz in the Excelsior of Paris says, “ One o f the kings of the violin.”

Newspa|iers of the I’nited States like­wise have much to say of Szigeti. Law­rence Giluian in the New York Herald- Tribune said, “ Szigeti played with amazing B rabura.” The Chicago Daily Journal wrote, “ He brought his audience to a pitch of enthusiasm which was e|iochmaking in local annals.”

Former Student Addresses English Teachers’ Class

Josephine Diekhoff, ’31, who is now- teaching English in the Waupun high school, addressed the English teachers’ training class Saturday morning on “ Problems Confronting the New Teacher.”

Miss Diekhoff spoke of the difficulty of going to a new school and how much a new teacher was left on her own ini­tiative. She emphasized the advantage of taking a teachers’ training course, and said thbt such a course helped one in organizing his work, in grading, and in adapting work to different individuals.

Dr. Bagg Gives Lecture on Types of Precious Stones

8ixteen types of precious stones in ­cluding emerald, ruby, sapphire, tourma­line, and garnet furnished the topic of discussion in the ninth of a series of 14 geological lectures sponsored by the Appleton W oman’s club and given by Dr. R. M. Bagg of the geology depart­ment Monday afternoon in Science hall.

Dr. Bagg explained the various meth­ods of synthetic production of precious stones to replace the more costly natural ones. A few types of these synthetic stones together with the crystals occur­ring in nature to show the derivation of the higher grade gen\s have recently been purchased for the museum. These and other synthetic stones were exhibited during the lecture.*

THE FOREIGN LANGUAGE REQUIREMENTOf late the foreign language requirement for the B.A. degree

has been discussed at length in this column with the conclusion that it is both over-estimated and unnecessary. It was assumed that the two main reasons for studying a foreign language were to discipline the student and to equip him for proficiency in graduate work. But to attack foreign languages from such angles is to attack something which is no longer contended. That anyone should advocate a foreign language purely in the hope of inculcating discipline in the individual is perfectly absurd. A self respecting linguist would scorn it. Nevertheless, this docs not say that a foreign language will not make for close observation and concentration.

In reference to graduate work, statistics were offered from the Wharton Graduate school which tended to prove that a foreign lan­guage was unnecessary. Yet it was not mentioned that Wharton is a school of commerce and furthermore is a school which does not encourage the use and study of foreign languages. An enormous amount of work has been written and is now being written by the French and German scholars and these efforts have not been trans­lated into English. If one wishes to be an authority in his field, he must keep up with it by reading constantly iu other languages. The great schools of the country, such as Chicago, Harvard, and Colum­bia, do require foreign languages for graduate degrees and more than a mere reading knowledge of them.

There are a great many advantages to studying languages other than our own. Their value as aids to our own vocabulary and grammar was dismissed as a moot point. Yet there is nothing as illuminating of the English language as Latin. Most people are not conscious of this fact.

In a liberal institution founded for the purpose of promulgating and investigating the cultural arts which are the product of a world civilization, it is somewhat disappointing to hear it voiced that only English culture and the English language are related to American students. t

A linguistic background is absolutely necessary to culture. One fails to get the essence and spirit of a people without a knowledge of their language. To have read the history and literature of a people in their own language gives us a broader sympathy and outlook. We have an enormous advantage if a language other than our own means something to us.

Nevertheless, it is doubted as to whether or not a foreign lan­guage should be required of every student. Inasmuch as some stu­dents find languages too difficult, discrimination should be used. But we are provincial to the degree that we are without a foreign lan­guage and thus we have the difference existing between the B.A. and th Ph.B. degrees.

Semi-Annual Reports Made 'By Dr. W riston, R. J. W atts

(Continued from page 1) to the users. Despite th is fac t the demand for books continued very ac­tive. Happily a g ift of $1,200 makes it possible fo r us to continue th is ser­vice.

“ For each of the five new books, there was a call which ran from 75 to 125, and in addition many calls were received for books previously listed, including some o f the first books which w ere circulated. Tn a single month aboat 30 per cent of all liv ing alum ni had books in th e ir pos­session, whereas, in other colleges where the experim ent had been tried no more than eight per cent of the alum ni has had books in possession a t any one time. This is fu rth er strik ing evidence of the v ita lity and valid ity of the idea.”

Final enrollm ent figures fo r the first sem ester of th is year show a net loss of 40 ^ tuden ts in the collegf and 14 in the conservatory of music, Dr. W riston brought out.

Fewer Students Transfer“ A careful study of the m ortality

shows th a t, in general, the number of students tran sfe rring to other in s titu ­tions continues to decline slightly, th a t the average grade of those tran sfe rring to other in stitu tions likewise continues to decline, and th a t, in general, the loss of students even among those who leave fo r financial reasons tends to m anifest itse lf more strongly among

Voeck’s Quality Meats

those of poor academic standing and capacity ,” Dr. W riston observed.

Physical improvements in the library were summarized by R. J . W atts, bus­iness manager, in his report. A special g if t of $10,000 made possible the add i­tion of a th ird floor, of steel and glass, for the stack room; a steel sta irw ay w ith slate treads, extending from the basement to the th ird floor of the stack room; an electric booklift; three steel book trucks; steel book stacks for the th ird floor; electric w iring for the add i­tional stacks; 18 double carrels for individual study.

A long fe lt need has been met in the installation of a recreational reading room a t H am ar house. Dr. W riston said, “ In the annual report I men­tioned the fac t th a t there were no fa ­cilities for stim ulating recreational reading. Since th a t time, it has been suggested th a t one of the rooms in H am ar house m ight be developed as a recreational reading room if books could be supplied. Through the gen­erosity of Mrs. H am ar a number of current books of more than usual in ­te rest have been furnished. The Alumni Reading Service will hence­forth put a t least one copy of each book in H am ar house as soon as it is retired from active circulation among the a lum ni.”

Because Thanksgiving came on Thursday, the Law rentian could not come out F riday. As a result we made no predictions, which might be con sidered as a happy situation seeing as how Army downed N otre Dame, Purdue whipped N orthw estern, and the Goph ers tram pled on Ohio S tate. Ju s t w ait un til Mr. L igh t s ta r ts getting omnis cient on point-a-m inute basketball games, i f you th ink the average is rot ten now.

We have i t from a very reliable source th a t N otre Dame handed Arm y a 12 to 0 v ictory simply to keep th e F a r W est from getting th e big head about Southern C al’s victory over H unk A nderson’s men.

Championship possibilities in inter- fra te rn ity volleyball will be risked this evening when the three leading con­tenders for the title and two contend­ers for the cellar berth fight it out a t Alexander gymnasium.

Only one match was played of the three scheduled for Thursday of last week. The Betas beat down the Phi Tau team in two stra igh t sets, 15-4 and 15-12 Saturday.

The Sig Eps and the Delta Sigs, two of the leaders, will go into battle a t8 o ’clock. Each of the teams will pre­sent a strong lineup and have been victorious in both of the ir games played. While the Delta Sigs have shown flashes of great spiking strength in running up eight or nine points on one serve, the Sig Eps have been play ing a steady, dependable game.

In the first of the two opening games beginning a t 7:15 o ’clock,' the Betas meet the Psi Chis. The Betas displayed surprising strength in overcoming theD. I . ’s and Phi Taus last week while the Psi Chi» lost their only game to the Sig Eps. The Theta Phis play the Phi Taus in the other opener.

Cagers in Hard Drill for Opener

Squad Will Get Its First Test December 11 Against

St. Norbert's

Driving his cagers mercilessly last week Coach A. C. Denney began looking forward to the night of Dec. 11 when his Vikings get their baptism of fire against St. N orbert’s here. The Lawrence men­tor was anything but happy as he sent his lanky squad against the frosh in Friday afternoon’s practice session.

Several combinations were sent against the freshmen in scrimmage, but a choiee of a starting lineup could not be made by watching the boys tha t night. Ten­dencies at wildness, coupled with a few shots tha t nearly went through the end of the gym brought shrill blasts from Coach Denney’s whistle, and repeated sulmtitutions. The freshmen bottled up the Blue and White aggregation on more than one occasion, and early season ragged edges protruded prominently.

Colbert handled himself well a t the pivot as did Kafoth. Hall, Haase, Kar- sten, and Foote all got chances to show what they could do. There was a lot more drive in evidence than in the early drills of last week, and the insertion of the faster but less experienced men brought a fa ir harvest of baskets.

Earl M akela, '30, Nichols, and Clif ford Burg, ex -’34, U niversity of Wis consin, visited a t the Phi Kappa Tau fra te rn ity house Saturday and Sunday.

Dr. W rUton To Address Business Men's M eeting

I)r. Henry M. Wriston will adilrrw ajoint meeting of business men 'a organi zations of Appleton a t the Northern hotel this evening. He will talk on “ The College as a Servant of the Com­munity. ’ ’

A g ift of #75,000 toward the eon atruetion of a new conservatory of music from Presser Foundation of Philadelphia, was announced by Or. Henry, M. W riston in his semi annual report to the board of trustees Nov. 24. The g if t is conditional upon the acceptance of the trustees of the col­lege of the name Presser Hall or Pres­ser Music Building, upon the raising of a like sum, and upon the furnishing a site and equipment. The offer was acted upon by the board and accepted.

Although it is unofficially reported th a t several sites were considered by the board of trustees nothing definite was released following the meeting as to the probable site of the proposed structure . N either was it sta ted in w hat manner the funds to place with the originally $75,000 will be raised.

Conservatory H as AdvancedThe Lawrence conservatory of mu­

sic is now tlit only organization of its kind in the s ta te in t grallv con­nected w ith an endowed institu tion . The schools of music of all o ther en­dowed liberal a rts colleges have been discontinued as organized en tities and the ir works incorporated, in a more or less reduced form, into the college cur­riculum. “ This gives rise to the pre­sum ption,’ ’ I)r. W riston said, “ th a t by the discontinuance of other music schools our conservatory has come to occupy a more d istinctive position and consequently a better opportunity for fu ture development. I t must be borne in mind th a t the ljiw rence conserva­tory has been the strongest among the college conservatories, and it is th a t

fact which has perm itted it to con tinue. Having continued, it aeema to me tha t it haa a position much more stable by reason of the reduction efcom petition .” *

Since six years ago, despite the handicaps, the conaervatory haa made some very significant educational ad ­vances. Until June 1925 the public acliool music course was two years in length; in Septem ber 1925 it waa ad ­vanced to three veara. Now it re- quires four yeara of work and the bach elor of music degree. This change has increased the number of applicants for degrees markedly, ao th a t more de- greea in music were granted laat June than ever before in the history of the college. A new departm ent in band music supervision was organized. It has shown a steady growth and has established itse lf as an im portant fe a t­ure of the conservatory. A new grad ­ing avatem waa introduced, bringing the work of the conservatory into more accurate correlation w ith the work of the college and definitely improving academic standards.
