Czech poetry from the sonnets ofJan Koiiar with their impulse toracial solidarity to the popular lyricsof Jan Naroda late in the last cen¬tury was sketched by Professor Ota-kar Vocadlo, lecturer in Slavonicstudies at King’s college, London,yesterday afternoon in Harper Mil.After a gap of several hundredyears during which poetic effort wassterile in contrast with the medievalprodu((\ ' of the Czechs, Bohemianliterature ived a new stimuluswith the activity of scholars in theearly nineteenth century, and thepenetration of English poetry.Kollar’s Work“It was Jan Kollar who discoveredthe formula which fired the Slavonicrace and created a new nationalconsciousness in Bohemia,” said Pro-fesor Vocadlo. “New vitality wasinfused into the literature by thepublication of his monumental collec¬tion of sonnets, ‘The Daughtersof Slava.’“In the preface to his work Kol¬lar deplored the lack of cohesionamong the Czechs and vehementlyurged a union among the branches ofthe Slavonic race from CentralEurope to Vladivostok. His ideasachieved immense popularity andgave a strong impetus to treatiesof reciprocity which the Czechs ne¬gotiated with their Slavonic neigh¬bors.”Rite of BalladsThe publication of Bishop Percy’s“Reliques” initiated a trend in Bo¬hemia toward ballads reflecting thefolk lore of the country, and the newgenre became widely popular. Thespread of romanticism of the middlenineteenth century was checked atfirst in Bohemia by the patrioticspirit to which most of the poetrywas confined, but later was widelyadopted.The lecture was concluded withreadings from Jan Naroda’s “CosmicSongs,” a group of lyrics attributingto the stars the foibles and traitsof human beings.Professor Vocadlo is scheduled togive two more lectures on Bohemianliterature on Thursday and Friday,when he will discuss Czech proseand drama.Dr. Vocadlo has come to Americafor the purpose of educating collegeaudiences, from New York to SanFrancisco to the importance, style,and creators “Modern Czech Liter¬ature.” It will be six months be¬fore he resumes his regular tastesat the University of London.Prof. J.

Desserts and FountainService.THE SHANTY EATSHOP1309 East 57th StreetAbout a year ago Max Mason; then president of the Univer¬sity, impressed and caught the fancy of the undergraduate conscious¬ness with' his ideas for the university of the future. His schemeof the ideal university was one towards which he was attemptingto guide the course of this particular University.Dr. Mason’s university was one without quizzes, with no creditsobtained by the present stereotyped method, with routine banishedexcept for that self-imposed; an institution whose banner wouldflaunt the slogan "Opportunity, not Compulsion. ” "We are shoot¬ing at a system that will do away with credits and present examina¬tion! methods and make out of this a research institution in which stu¬dents are stimulated to work out things for themselves,” Dr. Masonsaid in one of his many lectures on the subject. He thought thatthere is too much factual content in university courses today, andthat the attempt to give every bit of information possible is anerroneous one. His idea was that the first two years in collegeshould be devoted to a general education such as afforded by theorientation courses. At the end of that period the student is afairly well educated being; hv’* has assimilated enough knowledge forall general purposes. From tha^ time on he should begin to followout the lines of his interests, to ferret out truths for himself. Dr.Mason maintained that one of the outstanding faults of present dayeducational systems is that they do not allow enough of the "joy ofdiscovery” to the student: everything is dogmatically unfolded be¬fore him; his function is merely to absorb.In the future university "the spirit of productive scholarship”is made the leading light of the educational method; the universityeducates through participation in research. The student s hoursare his own, he need not be compelled to go through the time-con¬suming ritual of roll call and class attendance each day. He con¬sults and seeks the advice of an instructor concerning some problemof phase of his work, but he does his actual work alone and withthe zest of a person intellectually free. And he feels much moresatisfied with himself, much more confident in his own ability; hebecomes an individual possessed with a mind and capable of usingit. This ideal university is the incarnation of Dr. Mason’s oft utteredbelief "that nobody can educate you but yourself.When THE DAILY MAROON became first acquainted withDr. Mason’s ideals for this institution, it immediately and enthusias¬tically indorsed them in their main essentials via a plank in thepolicy platform. Last fall we thought so much of them that theplank was retained, though in a revised form. Looking over theplatform for its 1929 revision we still feel a distinct fondness forthat plank. We point with pride to Plank No. 2, and look forwardto a time when the administration feels itself in a position to adoptit in its essentials.

Leibman“Baseball Scandals of 1928,” nota George White production, has goneover big in Boston and is drawingmore than its share of newspaperpublicity. The theme of the attrac¬tion, however, is not a new one toChicago fans, having been introduc¬ed in these parts in 1919 by the“Old Roman.” otherwise known asPresident Comiskey of the White Sox.One of the highlights in the currentattraction comes in the second reelwith President Green of the City ofthe Cod singing to Emil Fuchs, “ITold Them All About You.” The cli¬max however is reached in the grandfinale when the entire cast joins into sing, “What Does It Matter, OldBean, When We Haven’t Got a Base¬ball Team?”The Tempest wishes to go on rec¬ord as having said last Friday, “Webelieve that Chicago will beat But¬ler.” We told you so!It was was a feeling of satisfac¬tion that we heard that “Chuck”Bennett, captain and stellar halfback of the 1929 Indiana eleven,was awarded the Chicago Tribunetrophy for the most valuable playerin the Big Ten. Bennett is reallyone of the finest backs in the MiddleWest and with a stronger team wouldhave been able to show off his abilitymore. Those Chicago fans who saw’him play in the Indiana-Chicagogame here in 1927, realize what apowerful ball carrier the Hoosierleader was. It took anywhere fromthree to four men to stop him everytime he got underway. In the firstgame of last season, “Chuck” playedso brilliantly that the championshipmini were barely able to walk offwith a victory. In the recent East-West game on the coast, Bennettshowed those Westerners how thisgame of football should be played.The Indiana captain really contribut¬ed something to the grid game andstamped himself as not only a greatathlete, but as a greater sportsman.This game of cricket is certainlya most delightful sport. In the re¬cent “Championship of the World”Matches between England and Aus¬tralia, the Englanders were merely352 runs behind at the end of awicked or whicket (what is the dif¬ference). However, time was takenout as it was tea time, and of coursewe iHenglanders must have owahtea. After a turn of air, play wasresumed. The invaders, howevercame back to score 5473 runs to take Ithe lead. England finally won, 7G84to 5943 and thereby took the bigtea cup. Did somebody say some¬thing about cricket?PVank Wykoff, the youngest andat the same time most proficient ofour sprint stars, is well on the roadto recovery. The Los AngeldS schoolboy after a truly meteoric rise tothe top was stopped by a tonsil in¬fection and for a while it seemedthat he would pass away. His recov¬ery speaks well for hi^ gameness and ifor the splendid physical conditionin which he kept himself. America’sfuture hopes in the race for thesprint supremacy honors of the worldwill largely devolve on Wykoff, andW’e feel certain that the boy willmake good. PURDUE HEIGHTHALTS MAROONUPHILL BATTLEMurphy * Runs Wild toSink Baskets FrcmiAll Angles(Continued from page 1)Purdue carried on without CaptainCummins, but they didn’t need him.Murphy did five men’s work. Welch,Schnaiter, and Harmeson backed h’mup in fine style. The Boilermakerguards made the going tough forthe Maroons in the second half. Theykept them away from the basket,and even snared the ball away fromthem. Chicago was playing so des¬perate an offense that Purdue’s for¬wards on several occasions left theMaroon men behind while they hot¬footed down the floor. Purdue tookan even seventy shots at the basketand or.ly a tough defense held themfrom running up a larger score.The Maroons played a heady gamein the first half. Their passing wascautious, their guarding splendid.Murphy was scoring, of course, butonly becaues of his superior height.Gist and Kaplan kept Chicago in therunning, each coming through whenPurdue seemed to draw away fromthe Maroons.It was a heart-breaking secondhalf that witnessed Purdue grad¬ually tire out a game team. Chang-non and Crawford, already prettybadly knocked up‘from bodily con¬tact with everybody on the Purduequintet, lost their heads in the lastfive minutes. Both fought desper¬ately, but fouled. In the closing min¬utes both teams were scrapping andfouls were called galore.The end of the game found theMaroons still trying. Purdue’s re¬serve guard strength began *o tell onChicago, however, for their shotswere more difficult to negotiate.Captain Gist and Kaplan, to the veryend, made desperate attempts tobring Chicago up on even terms withLambert’s team but the gfun finallystopped the fray. The Maroons play¬ed like wildcats, but a man by thename of Murphy spoiled the wholeshow.Box score summary:Chicago (26)Changnon, f 1 2 ,2(Kaplan, f 2 3 1Gist, (c) c 5 2 1Fish, g 0 2 2Crawford, g 0 1 28 10 8Purdue (38)Harmeson, f 2 0 4Lyle, f 0 0 0Murphy, c 11 3 2Boots, g 1 0 2Schnaiter, g 0 3 1Welch, g 1 1 2Eibel, f 0 0 0Sleight, g 0 1 015 8 11 Mizell Begins ToElnvy John GilbertSomething must be done to pro¬tect our gridiron stars from theravages of the Hollywood bug.No sooner does a fairly good look¬ing gent become popular, than theup and coming butter and eggmen from the west coast proceedto have him sign on the dottedline.Two years ago John MackBrown of Alabama just up andcrashed the gates of Hollywoodand is at present cavorting aroundwith such company as Clara Bow,Joan Crawford and .... butwho wants any more.

BADCER HOCKEYTEAM POWERFULMeet North Dakota InFirst Home GameFans who have followed the rambl¬ing Wisconsin hockey team in itsearly season games will have an op¬portunity to watch Coach JohnnyFarquhar’s Badger puck chasers inaction Friday and Saturday nights,Jan. 11 and 12 against the fast Northcompleted negotiations with the Da¬kota school today and hopes to havehis men in good shape for their firsthome appearances.The record hung up by the Bad¬gers in tiicir first four games duringthe holiday vacation season, is thebest achieved by any time in the his¬tory of the ice sport at Wisconsin.The Cardinal athletes tied theHoughton, Mich., School of Mines,and followed that game with threedecisive victories.The Marquette, Mich., Owls werevanquished, 3-1, and the Wausau Car¬dinals fell before the Badgers on NewYear’s day, 4-1. On Thursday, Jan.3, Farquhar’s team traveled to Chi¬cago and conquered the Chicago Ath¬letic Club sextet. 3-1.Two Vets on TeamWisconsin’s showing is the moreremarkable when it is considered thatonly two veterans returned to the.squad their winter — Capt. DonMeiklejohn, at center, and GilbertKrueger, a light but aggressive wing.The other positions were filled withrecruits, whom Farquhar began to de¬velop immediately into conferencehockey material.Filling the shoes of Don Mitchellas goalie has fallen to the lot of ArtFrisch, a football guard from Chis¬holm Minn. Frisch haS taken to hisnew duties with unusual skill.Harold Rebholz, popular fullbackfor the Badgers last autumn, neverplayed hockey before this winter, butFarquhar has found “Reb” to be ex¬cellent defense material. Jimmy Gal¬lagher and Larry Peterson have beenworking opposite him.
