BOYNTON ASSERTS FAMEOF MOODY IS GROWINGDeclares Late Head of English De­partment Epitomized Best Poetryof Today-&a"ys Wells and RolandAre Outstanding Figures.The fame of William VaughanMoody, late head of the English de­partment, as one of the greatestAmerican poets of all time is growingconstantly, according to AssociateProf. Percy H. Boynton, of the En­glish department, who lectured on"Literature in the Light of the !War,",before a meeting of the UniversityLecture association at 4, in the As­errrbly room of the Fine Arts theater."William Vaughan Moody epito­mized the best of the poetry of to­day," declared Associate Prof. Boyn­ton. "Without a doubt he stoodalone as the transcendent poet of thelast generation. He was far morethan an occasional poet. By criticsand close students of literature he isjustly considered a master. Through­out hi swork we can discern the relig­ion and the philosophy of the comingday, of the future.Restoration Takes Place."It is an inter�ting fact that therehas been a re-establishment of poetryin the life of the present day. Fif­teen or twenty years ago the publicwas more concerned with the dramaand the novel than with poetry. Yearsago a playwright was the center ofinterest wherever he travelled. Nowthe very fact that large audiences en­thuiastically hear men like Masefield,Noyes, Gigson and Tagore even afterthey have read poet's works is surelyan indication of the restoration of po­etry in the hearts of the -people of to­day.. In commenting on the literature so· far written during the war, AssociateiProf. 'Boynton declared, that the twooutstanding literary figures so far are,IHerbert G. Wells, the English novel­, ist, and Remains Roland, the FrenChwriter.Deny Profundity of Wells., "People have tried to dney the pro-· fundity of Wells and have declaredthat ·he was a gecond Jules Verne,"said Associate Prof. Boynton.

When the quarter'swork is over, no further obligationexists· there is no connection. be­tw'een' this college trai�i�g and theUnited States army other than themutual interest which is bound 'to ex­ist. Next quarter Major Bell willhave the hours of drill so arrangedthat every student will �ave an 'Op­portunity to take part, conflicts be­ing practically impossible. The reg­istration next quarter should double:that of the present, and no Univer­sity man should fail to interest him­self in the project. .QUARANTINE ON HONOR.The presence of several cases 'Ofscarlet fever among University stu­dents should be �iven the serious-consideration of aery member of theUniversity community; and no oneshOuld hamper the authorities intheir attempts to eradicate the car­riers of disease. The numerouS fra­ternity men who have been put in"quarantine on �onor" should exer­cise their gentlemanly powers in up­holding the requests of Dr. Reed, andwhen told not to enter Universitybuildings and oot to attend Univer­sity functions, they should abide bythe order. Dr. Reed's attempts tokeep all exposed persons from &thecampus have not met with completesuccess, Inasmuch as a few men havenot realized the injustice of disobey-. ing his requests. In the future, nosuch infract;Ons of rules should oc­cur. 'If University men can not beplaced on their honor, force will haveto be applied. The latter method isno; desired.Black Bonnet Gives Dance.Black Bonnet has invited the othertwo freshman women's clubs to a teadance to be given Monday from 3to 6 in the Ida Noyes assembly hall.All those who wish to attend havebeen asked to sign either the postersin Ida Noyes or those in Lexington. rim DAILY �ON. WEDNESDAY, MARCR 7, 1917.TO DISCUSS RESERVEBOOK IRREGULARITIESProblem of Unauthorized Withdraw­al of Books to Be Settled atMeeting Friday.Library authorities have called ameeting of members of the facultyinterested in the unauthorized' with­drawal of books from the reservedbook room for Friday afternoon at 4in Dr. Ernest Burton's office, Harper:\1 25.' The issue in question is theadvisibility of continuing the openaccess plan in the University librar­ies.Associate Director James c. JI.Hanson of the University librariessaid yesterday, "The library authori­ties are considerably disturbed on ac­count of the large number of 'booksmisplaced by those, who have accessto the stacks in Harper also aboutlarge numbers wihtdrawn withoutproper charge being made ."This open shelf system, as usedin Harper E ill, has been in force.since July. 1916, and for a while itseemed that the plan would 'be amost satisfactory ·one. But duringlast quarter and this quite a numberof books have been missed, t o saynothing of other disagreeable annoy-. ances. One instance will show this."I n American History, classes E.. and F., -li6 misplacements were foundon approximately 539 shelves. Threeweeks after these errors had beencorrected, one section under VirginiaHistory, containing three shelves, wasread because complaints reached thestack superintendenti that the bookswere out of order. During the threeweeks 29 books had been misplacedon these three .shelves alone. In the.Modern Language Section, 482 bookswere found out of 'Order the last timethat the shelves were read."This and the disposition to with­draw books without record beingmade and the consequent inability onthe part of the staff to account for'the books when called for, has madeit necessary to consider whether thetime has not come to suggest to thelibrary board consideration of furtherrestriction of access particularly by.:students."ELECT STIEGLITZ PRESIDENTHead of Chemistry Department IsGiven Noted Position.Prof. Julius Stieglitz, head of thedepartment of Chemistry, has recent­ly been elected president of theAmerican Chemical society.

Follies" Set a Pleasing PrecedentBy Bartlett Cormack,•"The Campus Follies," 'being the fifthIb;ennial production of the W. A. A.of the University of Chicago, pre­senred in Mandel Hall .on F'ridayevening, March 2, 1917, with a castcomposed of ' many, many, delectableyoung ladies.For the information of those whowere int�rested in seeing their efforts,the Follies of 1917, get away to a good Istart, let me say that through no Imachination of your critic was tb's be­lated review postponed. It was un­avoidable, quite. You see. Gt orge, thegenial youngster who chases copy backand forth between the presses and, the office, is a bit inckined toward rec­reation while on duty. So the clink ofthe ivories 'as' they hit the sidewalkwas too much for George. He stopped.When he again resumed his marchtoward the composing room his pock­ets were nicher to the extent of a fewdimes, but the copy under' his armwas minus my review.' And so I mustneeds leave a perfectly good lectureon the advisability of getting shot formy country and rewrite my review ofyour play--disremembering, of course,all the snappy comments that had car­ried the former one along. There­fore, my dear young lady, if you 'areseemingly slighted in the present' col­umns, believe me when I say that, ifdeserving, you were surely mentionedformerly, and that since no program isbeside me as I write, I have no way of, knowing your name, thereby losingthe chance of commenting on yourwork. But then, that may, or maynot, be an advantage to you.One must exercise extreme cautionin the writing of a:critical review of ashow which has as its performers they�ung women of the campus .. Indeed,one muSt put all thoughts of lemonyepithets out of mind and be, nice if it,kills him, if you see what I mean:What I mean to say I!S that the criticwants no friends of his in the thing hecriticises; ,if so he approaches his tyPe- '-writer with trepidation. That-is 'oneof'the rotten aspects of the' job; evenwhen his comments are e.ntJirely imper­sonal and wholly from an-e-er-e-artis- :tic point of. view lie Will be misunder­stood. So �it was with no feeling' ofconfidence tha£· I event' into �fandelHall on Friday evening. ,.Bu� the Fol­lies sent me forth feeling better, oh,. much better, with a rigbt-with-the­universe 'feeling about_ the heart, andmany good words for the young ladieswho had ,given me such .an evening ofwholesome enjoyment. Which was pre-ciselyas it should be. 'From those--tshall I say fortunate, e�ougq to witness, preceding endeavorsof the W. A. 'A., I learn that thisyears· p;roduction completely out­clasSed, those of former years. Nothaving been among those presen_t attheir previous. at�ts, at extrava-,gaJ11.&, I. ,may o1fer no comMent onthat, but offer the statement �erely,as propi�_iat,ion for George's loss oi. im­,portant copy. The Follies, to l!,pse, into the. vernacular, got away big withthe large audience in Mandel, Frid�yevening. 'We all lik� i�' immensely.,It was a nifty thing, a mass of gorge­ous colors, rhythmic movetJlents,shapeful 'curves, and tunefUl tunes,with here and' there a good naturedwheeze; all of which :was pleasing tothe eye and ear and a not too greattax on our intelligence. Tbe:W. A. A.'has, I take it, ;5·et a precedent in Fol�lydom with the 191 i' production'which succeeding Follies will find la­borious to emulate.At one time in particular d:d theaudience-and especially the pink­paW seniors down front-burst intoloud applause. That was when Miss.Thco Griffith sang something or otherabout being the only little girl an the.big, wide, desolate. blue, dreary andaltogether uninviting wor1,d. MissGriffith sang well enough, but, it wassomething else that made the seniorssquinn �n their seats. Miss Griffith,you see, has eyes-rather sparkling,ungovernable eyes, that swept the firsttwo rows quite ea:s.ily and languor- 01.:s1y, thereby' moving some pink-patedgentleman to action. He loped easilyup the steps leading to Miss Griffithand we were all galvanized into at­tcntion, awaiting the, romance. Butthe comedy-seeker banded the younglady a bunch of shapely onions orsomething of the sort. The seniore,understand, had come prepared for ac­tion; they were banking on the Fol­lies running true to form. But thething surprised them; they found itgood, and in the absence of orchidsthey presented their vegetables, ButMiss Gl1iffith smiled, the gift-givernearly fell down the steps, and the in­cident got a laugh. As a sugegstionto �1iss Griffith let me advise a calmand cool exterior from now on; a maidto answer phone calls; and a secretaryto open" masculine appearing en­velopes, No doubt she'll need them.Sharing the honors with ,�liss Gru­fith we�e, I think, �Iis.s Marian Lle­wellyn. and :\fiss 1�larion Palmer.Miss Llewellyn offered, a rather de­cent song in the .manner of the poetLindsay who entertained us not sovery long ago with his windmill ac­tions. I liked 'her. Hers was a bit,but it stood out' as something, reallyworth while. Of :\Iiss Palmer morecan be said. She chad more to do thandid �[i5S Llewellyn and did what wasdelegated 'to her with a naivete that\ v as delightful. As the �oung societvgirl in the playlet of the evening ,shewas wholly unaffected, pepful, and nothard to look at.' She also 'has eyes,and though not as adept: in their man­ipulation as her predecessor, managedthem very well. But it was her pepthat I, liked most: her 'personality;the devil-may-care manner in whichshe romped through her 'songs. Asregards �liss Palmer, I would suggestto the Drarnarie club that .they look'her up. 'She can't act-neither couldanyone else in the Follies-but she'has qualities which should be of valueto Mr. Gendron's organization., Tihe piece de resistance of the even­ing was a playlet called most unin­terestingly, "�fother's Choice." Writ­ten by Miss Betty Brown, a Fresh­man in both the University of Chicagoand the University of Dramaturgy it�vas a conventional treatment of theold _ as dirt, mother-daughter-sweet­heart idea. But it gave Miss Palmera chance to do more naive Tomping;1:\liss Ruth Mlount a c'hance ,to wear, good looking clothes and appear more--er-delectable than ever; and MissPauline Callen an' opportunity,. ofwearing a too loose sack coat, riding, breeches, and leather puttees. �fissCallen was 'ha;dly convincing. Sheattempted a projection of Man by a, dr:awling speech, hands on hips, and,the crossing of legs; an effort furthe.r:demonstrating the futility of Womanattempting a characterization of Man., Barring: ¥iss Palmer and Miss 'Mount,the playlet wa,s unfortunate.I found fault 'With but one or twodetails. The make-up 'Yas atrocious;the chorus on its entrance resembling,a much ,fussed maiden addicted toblus'hing-but tha. was th� fault ofthe m"aker-up; and t;,e same chorusfrequently got entangled in the mazeof t'heir own formations-which W:bthe fault of the chorus.I might go on and mcntion the goodwork of �{iss Beth Bell, in imperson­ations' of :\{'iss 1:\lacClintock's 'vcrygood 'Spani�rd; of �iiss Loretto'Lamb's sprightly Picrrete; 'bttt spaceforhids. Sufficient to say that allcontributed largely to the success ofthe evening, and as I came -away Iwa.s conscious of much looking at en­gagement books among th'e men, pre­sumably nnding out -when the nextScore Club dance was to be given.'rhe set was-accordfng to the pro­gram-of Hawaii, and if Hawaii•doesn't mind i'm sure I don't. It wasincongruous--s.tately 'pillars hid bypotted palms; or maybe they wereferns. And the furniture, the sheettells me, was loaned by Marshall.Field's. -.------LIPSON TO ADDftESSFINAL GATHERING OFMEMBERS OF MENORAHMembers of the Menorah societywilt assemble tonight at 7:30 in IdaNoyes for the final meeting of 'theWinter quarter, I.
