'irst Seminar
Dr. T. T. Mayo, head of the
English Department, will
speak Wednesday at the first
of a series of social science
seminars to be sponsored by
members of the faculty. J
He will jexiMaHi the present
trend from rationalism to ■roman
ticism and will show the major
shifta of interest and activity of
men are affected by the change.
The seminary in the forthcoming
series will be semitechnical in na
ture, according to J. Q. Hays of
the English Apartment.
| Their purpose will be to present
talks on the latest developments
in the various fields of social sci
ence. Further: objectives of the
seminar series are to be determin
ed at the Wednesday meeting, he
said.
The seminar series being plan
ned by the faculty group is not a
new idea, Hays said. In the thir
ties another social science: semin
ar series flourished on the campus
for several years.
Already more than 50 I faculty
members have indicated ap inter
est in the series.
One meeting a month is planned,
Hays continued, and at each a
paper on some speciality! in the
social science field will be present
ed.
\ “We all knjow,” he said “that
oW age requites so much ;special-
iza'tion that the individual can’t
keep informed of even the major
developments in subjects other
than his own.f’
These, proposed seminars should
help, provide ! T,oth faculty mem
bers and interested students with
an opportunity to broaden their
knowledge apq keep pace with cur
rent developments in the social
science field, Hays concluded.

ceivo the limits of the one. The
possibilities of tho other serin
boundless.
A "coming” youpg man is al
ways more interesting than one
who has “arrived”. lYou never know
how far the new ohc may go. You
can imagine the /sprouting char
acter in unlimited achievements
and no one, at the time, can prove
you are wrong.
This is the reason babies are a
never ending, wonder. If you knew
what they would i become, much, of
the glamor would be gone. But you
never do. You can imagine any
thing and it may come true.
The new star actress or singer
generally isn't as good as the old'
er star, but she is more interesting
because you know the limits of
one, and the other as yet seems of
unlimited possibilities.
In one of Aesop's Fables an old
farmer competes with a circus per

won, and as the I old farmer was
hissed off the stage he pulled from
under his cloak a live pig whose
ear he had pulled to make it squeal.
The actual seemed less real than
the imagined.
The poet, the painter, the
preacher who most stimulate our
imagination are the ones who pro
duce the most creative power—
the power to live in terms of our
highest possibilities.

Abilene Educators
Protest Hollywood
Abilene, Tex., Feb. 15 OP)—
Nineteen prominent Abilene busi
ness men and educators protested
Tuesday to the movie ; industry
against “repeated violation of the
moral code” by actors and actress
es.
“We have left matters of this
nature to the preachers too long,”
W. P. Wright, who conducted the
meeting, declared. “It’s time busi
ness became concerned with the
decline of morals of the nation.”:
Dr. Harold G. Cooke, president
of McMurray College here, was
named chairman of a committee to
draw up a resolution to be sent
to Eric Johnston, president of the
Motion Picture Association, and
also to movie producers.
The group asked other cities
to join in a move to “improve tho
morals” of motion picture stats.
