HALL PROMINENT UNIVERSITY SPEAKER flas Visited One Great State Univer- sity 11 Successive Years; Will Speak Here Tonight at 6:45 Dr. Winfield Scott Hall who will speak to the young men in the As- sembly hall immediately after supper tomorrow evening is the most famous lecturer ncw at work on the subject of eugenics, social ethics, home and health problems. The lecture by Dr Hall is in fur- therance of the physical development rrcgram of the institution which is in charge of H. H. House. After 22 years of teaching and lec- turing he has taken up lecturing ex- clusively and is now serving as head of the Department of Social Hygiene, Moral Welfare Work of the Presby terian church.

One great state university has been visited 11 succes- sive years, one great metropolitan university ten successive years and many institutions at intervals of two or three years. In the past 20 years Dr. Hall has devoted much time to the social proh- lem, speaking and writing frankly and helpfully for the guidance of students in college, normal schools and high schcols of young people and home builders on the problem of life and of parents and teachers on proper instruction of children and youth re- garding life.

Votaw, School of The- ology of the University of Chicago speaking of Dr. Hall says; Social workers everywhere reccgnize how wisely you have advanced physiologi- cal education in the interest of higher morality, I have followed your work and read your publications with much apr reciation and hope you may con- tinue to push the campaign.

There is no one, no matter how STUDY OF AMERICAN LITERARY EXTREMES Mrs. C. B. Campbell and Mrs. G. N. Stroman Lead Program Study Club; Delegates Report on Meeting. A study of, American extremes as little he knows about music, who can! revealed in the works of Willa Cather fail to get a great deal of pleasure from the performance of a Symphony Orchestra. And music is one of those sources of human pleasure that no one can afford to neglect, the more one hears, the more one enjoys. The St. Louis Symphony Orcestra, which will play in the new auditorium | on the afternoon and evenirg of Sat- urday, April 5, has arranged its pro- gram, with special reference to an audience of men who have presum- ably not been musically educated. All its numbers are chosen not only for their solid musical worth but for their tunefulness as well, and any student of the ccllege who likes music in any form must enjoy this program. Urging the opportunity offered to! Campus people in the coming concert a musician of the campus says. “One of the most frequent complaints on this Campus where complaints are not infrequent, has as its burden the dis- tance of the college from any city and from the advantages and diver- sions that a city offers. There is on- ly one gift of city life that is gener- ally denied us here, and that is good music. All the other advantages an be had at College Station in one form or ancther, but good music well per- | ' used only her own ideas.” formed is certainly rare. “It is for this reason that a special appeal is made to students to attend the concert or concerts Louis Symphony Orchestra. than enough seats have already been sold to assure the financial success of the venture, but that is not the only nor even the chief consideration. It would seem a pity that such a good opportunity for a high type of pleas- ure should be reglected by thcse for whose benefit the concerts were chief- ly arranged. Tickets for the ccncert are on sale at the Y. M. C. A. at $1.00 each. The Programs Saturday Afternoon. (Soloist: Madame Graziella Pam- pari, harpist).

Stro- man occupied the center of interest of the Campus Study club Tuesday afternoon, Reports from the recent meeting of the Fourth District Federated Wo- men’s clubs held at Belton were given by Mrs. R. R. Lancaster and Mrs. B. Youngblood who attended. Mrs. Campbell as leader cf the pro- gram on American extremes based on “0 Pioneers” and “My Antonia” by Willa Cather and “The Three Black Penneys’” and “Linda Condon” by Jo- seph Hergesheimer gave a short sketch of the lives of the two Ameri- can writers. “Miss Cather,” she said, “is now 48 years of age, lives in New York anid writes one book in abaut every two years. Her first masteryiece, “O Pioneers” was published in 1913, ‘Song of a Lark’, her second in 191Y and ‘The Lost Lady’, her third in 1923. “The development of Miss Cather’s work is very evident”, said Miss Campbell. “She followed Henry James as her master in her earlier works but in ‘O Pioneers’, a story of an im- migrant family cf the better class she She said ‘My Antonio’ was her favorite Amer- ican novel. “Hergesheimer” was described as ‘very brilliant, very exotic and very decadent. His favorite theme is an idea of beauty in every phase of life. The ‘Three Black Pennys’ is a story of Welsh blood in three generations of Pennys, its youth, maturity and old age. ‘Linda Condon’ is faint, wist- ful and remote.
