FarrellNegro art has, like Jim Tully, Sin¬clair Lewis, the American Mercury,and college education, gone overwith a bang, a wow, and severalwhoophees. Almost any young negrropoet or ariist can get over today,if he chooses to ride on the wavecrests of popularity, which seems toaccept anything written by or aboutnegroes. The phenomenon of skincolor threatens to become a stand¬ard in itself. A more subtle and dan-gerous form of vaudevillization, than•that almost frankly practised bywriters as Octavus Roy Cohen and WATERLOO NOTDECISIVE BATTLE,GOTT^HALKConflict Only HastenedDefeat of FrenchGeneralThe Battle of Waterloo, longranked as one of the decisive battlesof the world, was decisive only ina very restricted sense, I^uis R.Gottschaik, associate professor ofhistory at the University told theChicago Chapter of the Military Or¬der of the World War last night atthe Engineers’ Club.“Waterloo merely hastened the in¬evitable abdication of Napoleon; itdid not determine whether he wouldabdicate or not,’’ Prof. Gottschaiksaid. “Even if Napoleon had wonthe battle of Waterloo, he wouldhave been obliged to abdicate short¬ly. He had but one army, with a pa¬per sti’ength of 200,000, and an ac¬tual effectiveness of much less, forthe victories of Ligny and QuatreHugh Wiley, is becoming a vogue.Atecracularism and critical smug¬ness are working their insidiousways. Honest work, belonging with¬in the provinces of art rather thanthe boundaries of the Saturday Eve¬ning Post, is being cheapened by un-discriminatory preise. The aestheticefforts of and about negroes are talk¬ed and reviewed into thirty-six pointtype. Outside of New York, any lit¬tle theatre presentation of negroplays become a movement, carryingall the vaggage of capital letter.Negro art, is in a word, becominglike Greenwich Village and TheodoreDreiser, “mergerized” (if I mightborrow the expression of a VanityFair writer).Porgy is an excellent case in point.The novel written by Du Bose Hey¬ward possesses charm, feeling, sincer¬ity, lyricism, beauty; it swells intosomething more than merely twohundred pages of printed type. Itwas written for the Theatre Guild,and went over in a Big Way. Itwas, at least in the early stages ofits long Broadway run, an impres¬sive stage spectacle. The authorswere fundamentally honest withtheir characters. The play possessesa scope and a guts, which makes theordinary Broadway or RandolphBtreet effort thin, pale, and anemic:a suggestion of that vitality, whichis powerful in Eugene O’Neill. Itsfolk qualities and spirituals werecharming. The scene of the wakeis Serena Robbins’ room, minus thetheatric code, the almost terriblepathos of Porgy in the final scene,oven the crab man was unforgetable.Rose Mac Clendon as Serena Rob¬bins, Frank Wilson as Porgy, ahdEvelyn Ellis as Bess were also re-memberable. To repeat, in thosenow distant days, “Porgy” was inter¬esting, and dramatic. With the criticsit was much more. They swallowedit as something great, and none ofthem got indigestion. Off hand, I canonly think of one person, who gaveit any degree of plastering, GeorgeJean Nathan.After over a year’a run, the Guild(that organization which producedEugene O’Neill . . . when it waspractically forced to by GreenwichVillage) packed up the trunks, andsent the show west, with its largelynon-professional cast under the di¬rection and guidance (I am told) of.... an assistant director. Sloppyand dareless, “Porgy” was put on inChicago. The blurbs of New Yoikwere added to by Mr. Frank Donag-hey, the dramatic weather-vane ofthe Tribune, and others. No oneseemed to criticize “Porgy.” It wastoo great. Mr. James Weber Linndismissed it in the “Round AboutChicago” column of the Examiner,but his reasons were not sound orpenetrating. “Porgy” went over in aBig Way for a second time, and theTheatre Guild acquired countlessnew members.The carelessness and inefficiencyof the “Chicago” productions, how-(Continued on page 2) Bras had reduced his army consider¬ably.“At Waterloo, the French forceswere smaller in size than the Eng- ilish and Prussians combined, andthere were 20,000 picked Dutchtroops at Hal that never fired a shotduring the battle. Even had the Eng¬lish and Prussians been defeated atWaterloo, there still would have been Ia good-sized remnant left, but these itwo armies would have been theleast of Bonaparte’s worries. The !Russians and Austrians had 150,000 |men each on the march, and there iwas still the Dutch army left. A jcombination of Spain, Portugal,German, and Italian states was like¬wise being formed against him.”Prof. Gottschalk’s researches inFrench history have won him a Gug¬genheim fellowship which will takehim abroad for a year.PROFESSOR CARRATTENDS FORMALKELLY INITIATIONTwenty-five new members wereinitiated at a formal initiation cere¬mony held last evening at Kellyhall.

Lessing,German critic and philosopher, hasoccasioned a display of early copiesof his works in the show case ofHarper reading room.Lessing is known as one of thegreatest figures between Luther andGoethe. His greatest achievement isthe impetus toward a freer, moreimaginative German literature anddrama, given through satire of exist¬ing elaborate forms. He also con¬ceived a philosophy of spiritual prog¬ress and freedom. Although withoutthe imaginative power of Shakes¬peare with whom he has been com¬pared, Lessing did much to intro¬duce the inspirational quality ofShakespeare into German literature.

T. Holman, e.xtensionsecretary of the Divinity School saidin announcing the series. “Therefore,one may become conscious cf thepresence of God through an aware¬ness of beauty. Each of the lecturesis to be devoted to a particular formof beauty, with suitable illustra¬tions.”The six subjects of the lectureswill be Poetry, Music, Dn ma, Paint¬ing, Sculpture, and Architecture.Prof. Davis Edwards of the depart¬ment of public speaking will readselected poems in the first; Prof. D.W. Riddle, whose lecture will be on imusic, will be assisted by the Uni¬versity choir and soloists.Opening of the series will be onJanuary 29, and the succeeding lec¬tures will be given on successiveTuesday evenings. Following the lec¬tures, two classes will be conducted,one a museum course in Haskell, en¬titled “Some Aspects of EgyptianCulture,” by members of the Orien¬tal Institute staff; the other, by Prof.(Continued on page 2)STRANGER SPEEDSOVER ICY CAMPUSON HOCKEY SKATESRequests have been streaming inas to the identity of the graceful,gray stranger who skims lightlyaround corners poised recklessly onone Johnston’s Hockey, while theother skate tilts at an angle of nine¬ty degrees.

Rothschild LaudsModem PaintingsIn Wieholdt ExhibitThe exhibition of modern Frenchpainting which is being held in Wie-boldt 205 under the auspices of theRenaissance Society is excellent ac¬cording to Edward Rothschild, Act¬ing Chairman of the Art department.“Any exhibition which includes a pic¬ture by Cezanne as fine as ‘TheBathers’ together with examples byMatisse, Utrillo, Dufy, Derain andLaurencin may be called represen¬tative.“The cream of the exhibition isthe oil painting by Cezanne,” he con¬tinued. “It is probably the most high¬ly valued and the most significant ex¬ample of modern art in the exhibi¬tion, since Cezanne is really thefountain head of modern Frenchart. This picture is an example of ageneral theme which he used allthrough his life. Added to this is afolio of excellent reproductions ofwater colors by Cezanne called ‘Ce¬zanne and His Ancestors’ which waspublished by the Mares society andwhich belongs to the University li¬brary. These are of unusual qualityand represent the high quality of thesource material which the depart¬ment of Art is attempting to pro-i vide.”There are two paintings by MarieLaurencin. One of these is a por¬trait in her usual manner. The otheris an example of a still life, a sub¬ject which seems quite foreign tothis painter, according to Mr. Roths¬child. It is an interesting featurethat this picture is framed in mirrors,which may show the future develop¬ment of exhibition technique.The picture by Adolph Monticelli |represents an interesting phase ofdevelopment of modern French artbefore the post-impressionists whichare here represented by Cezanne,Matisse, Derain, Utrillo, and Laur¬encin.“The exhibition is designed par¬ticularly to develop the interest ofstudents by providing material whichwill keep them in touch with the de¬velopments in art by direct contactas well as by studying,” Mr. Roths¬child concluded.PICTURES FOR CAPAND GOWN WILLBE TAKEN TODAYGroup pictures of the differentfraternities will be taken today andtomorrow for the Cap and Gown an-ual at Mandel Hall.

December PhoenixTo Appear TodayWilliam T. Beauchamp’s reminis¬cences of the World War hold thespotlight in the December issue ofthe Phoenix w'hich appears on cam¬pus today. Professor Beauchamp,formerly of the University depart¬ment of English, is now teaching atKnox College, Galesburg, Illinois.“Black and Yellow,” Prof. Beau¬champ’s contribution, is consideredby the editors to be a first hand rem¬iniscence, as the author deserted hisstudies at the University of Londonto fight with the English army inFrance.Efraim Rosenweig’s thesis, “TheImportance of Being Well-named,”discourses on the possibilities ofnames’ helping the bearer to be¬come a success. He cites the case ofAlfred Emanuel Smith as one wherethe name was a hindrance.“When Chicago Was a Cub,” byAl. E. Widdifield, former editor ofThe Daily Maroon, is a review ofthe early history of Chicago as theauthor sees it. Herbert S. Futran’s“Bohemia” is also concerned withChicago, but is centered around thecity’s foreign district.T. V. Smith toLecture BeforePhilosophy Club“The Role of the Philosopher” isthe subject of a paper which will beread by ProfessorT. V. Smith of thePhilosophy department, at a meetingof the Philosophy Club tonight at8, in Classics 20.Professor Smith states that the in¬strument which the philosopher usesis words—words -—and words. Therole of the philosopher is that of aninterpreter of value, a mediator be¬tween various groups, an emancipa¬tor from outworn institutions, a cre¬ator of his own personality, and,through teaching, of other men’spersonalities. In this paper, Dr. Smithbrings out the fact that the work ofthe philosopher is contrasted withthat of the scientist and that of thepoet. The philosopher knows morethan the poet and less than the scien¬tist; however, the philosopher feelsless than the poet and more thandoes the scientist. The philosopher isa specialist in wisdom rather than inknowledge.After the reading of ProfessorSmith’s paper, a general discussionwill take place. Myron Maclaren,president of the club, announces thatall who desire to attend the meetingwill be welcome.COMMISSION NAMESTEN MEN FOR NEWCHAPEL COMMITTEENominees for the new Men’sI Commission, recently created by anact of the Board of Social Serviceand Religion, were selected yester¬day by the nominating committee ap¬pointed to suggest names to theBoard for permanent appointments.In naming the men, the commit¬tee, composed of Louis Engel, chair¬man, Arthur Abbott, and CharlesCutter, outlined the basis upon whichthe men were selected.

Institution of a Reading Perlbd plan.SCHOLARS AND BARBARIANSDean Max McConn of Lehigh' University is the latest to takea hand at that familiar old academic sport, reforming the Americancollege. He does so in a'rather startling book, “College or Kinder¬garten.”Dean McConn writes that only 2 percent of our youth go tocolleges of liberal education; and, furthermore, of that 2 percentthree-fourths are composed of students so limited in intellect thatit is useless to attempt to stimulate them to thought, study and in¬vestigation. The remaining one-half of 1 percent those withreal scholar s blood in them—Dean McConn thinks receive insuffi¬cient and unworthy attention under the present college system whichallows within its portals those students who total three-fourths of theenrollment and who are beyond saving for liberal thought.Dean McConn’s solution for this unfortunate situation is assimple as it is direct. He is primarily concerncKl with the 2 percentthat now go to liberal colleges; he cares not about the 98 percentwho take up other forms of work, such as vocational. For this 2percent class he proposes to two colleges: the Gentleman s Collegeand the Scholar’s College. The former is to take care of the “super-kindergartners’’ or that 1 1-2 percent who have the financial meansto attend college but have no desire to study. At the Gentleman sCollege a direct appeal will be made to its students interests. Suchactivities as playing games, managing teams, planning and givingplays, concerts and dances. These activities . . ^should constitutein themselves the chief educational instrument, the essential curricu¬lum, in the college for superkindergartners . . . Studies will no longerbe allowed to interfere with activities . . . Arid the Scholars Col¬lege, there where Mr. McConn would delegate that one-half of 1percent who have the zeal and capacity necessary for genuine learn¬ing, would remain the hope of the world for pure intellectual activity.Dr. Alexander Meikiejohn, who is known for other thingsthan the fact that he is the father of Wisconsin’s experimental col¬lege, is ready to seriously take variance with what Dean McConnpropounds. In an article in the most recent issue of The New Re¬public, Dr. Meikiejohn pronounces on the point inferred by DeanMcConn that 99 1-2 percent of us young ’uns are incapable ofliberal understanding, of intelligence and reflection.Dean McConn’s extravagant ideas about his two colleges weremade after he came to the bitter conclusion that the American col¬lege as such has been a disappointment and a failure in the last fiftyyears which have been marked by such economic prosperity. Thisvast wave of material prosperity has, he tells us, been flooding ourfair states with crude, externally-minded young barbarians who areincapable of learning and liberal study. Dr. Meikiejohn does notat all think that the situation is hopeless; he believes that it is theduty of the teacher to “take young barbarians, drag them in someway out of the rush of external influence, and if possible open theireyes to the state in which they and their fellows have been, as con- OFFICIAL NOTICESWednesday, January 23Radio Lecture: “American Litera¬ture.” Professor Boynton of the Eng¬lish department, 8.

(Continued from page 1)ever, brought “Porgy” into clean per¬spective, and also illustrated the de¬gree to which Aframerican art hasbeen mergerized. When the spec¬tacular values had become shoddy,most of “Porgy’s” greatness as aplay melted. The obviousness of theGuild’s subscription motives becameclear. The action was stopped atevery possible opportunity for sing¬ing, assemblies, and noise. I mightcite the conclusion as an excellentexample. In this scene, Frank Wil¬son’s acting is great. He first estab¬lishes an atmosphere of hope andjoy, as Porgy returns from the jail,with money, presents and the hopeof beginning a smoother life withBess. Then, when he discovers thatSperling Life has taken her away, hechanges this, with economy of ges¬ture and expression, into an almosthorrible pathos. This is climaxed bythe departure in the goat cart forNew York and Bess, somewhere be¬yond the custom house. In NewYork, the curtain was dropped atthis point. But hooey goes over inChicago more elaborately. So theentire cast was brought on for anensemble song, a cheap trick thatjerked all the tragic breathlessnessout of the play, like a clumsy dentistyanking a tooth. The effective wakescene too, was confused, and Porgyand Crown were outshouted by thesupporting cast. Its conclusion wastoo artificial and obviously theatric.Just as if they were repeated byelectric currents off-stage, the entireensemble threw their arms simul¬taneously to create the shadow ef¬fect that went over so well. As a whole, the supporting cast was wood¬en, moved on, off, and about thestage like class men. (Are Mr. Cohanand Mr. Ziegfield subscribers to theGuild?) Cataloguing, however, growsuseless. “Porgy” was a success, whilea finer and inherently better play“In Abraham’s Bosom” flopped. Thereare probably several new clerks nowbusy in the Guild offices mailing outform letters on Dramatic Art to thenew subscribers.It is interesting, however, to spec¬ulate what will happen in St. Louisor Indianapolis, if such grand thea¬tre trickery could get over in Chi¬cago. (Does anyone know if the lateMr. Tex Rickard was a member ofthe Guild?) For Chicago is semi-civilized, even if it does limp be¬hind the parade of the age. But In¬dianapolis has only bath-tubs and alibrary to brag about. In such acommunity, I should not be surpris¬ed to see “Porgy” accompanied bycommunity singing, with a songleader. Perhaps, at the conclusionof each act, white trousered andsweatered lads, with large black-in¬itialed T. G.’s on their chests, willdirect yells through their mega¬phones. . .If so, here is a yell adapt¬ed from one used by my kid broth¬er’s high school, which I gladly don¬ate to the Guild.

M. card.THE DAILY MAROON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 23, 1929The TempestThe tom-tom is being sounded inthe Big Ten to do away with thecenter tip-off and institute in its placeout-of-bounds play. Numerous planshave been suggested, but in the mainthe fundamental idea is to eliminatethe present system of starting play,and after a basket has been scored,with the center jump.Coaches throughout the country willprobably be polled about their ideason the subject. The conference is theonly organization which has made aneffort to actually legalize the reform,hut at the annual meeting of the bask¬etball coaches, the i)roposition has beendefeated.The matter has come into the lime¬light again this season with the ex¬ploits of ‘Stretch’ Murphy from Pur¬due. What he did against the Maroonsis sad history. What he hopes to doagainst other teams may make evenstill sadder history.Purdue of course is not the only‘offender.’ Wisconsin has Tenhopen,six feet four, and the centers scatteredaround the conference are of the usualheight. Doc Meanwell of Wisconsinhas expressed himself favorably onthe proposed change, while CoachNorgren of Chicago has much to sayin favor of the plan.The evil in the center jump is sim¬ply this: a tall man outjumps a smal¬ler man. The tall man’s team con¬trols the ba'i. Whether their effortsare successful at the basket immediate¬ly after they secure possession of thebasket does not matter; they do havepossession of the ball and as long asthey have it a potential basket is al¬ways in the making.On the other hand, the substitutescheme offers this as a remedy. Afterevery free throw or basket counted, theteam who has been scored on is giventhe ball to put into the play. Natural¬ly, this equalizes the numlK'r of timeseach team controls the ball.Unquestionably if this plan wasadopted, coaches would revise theircoaching of the center jump play, andconcentrate on nullifying the out-of-bounds play. One must take into con¬sideration that the opposing team* hasfive men on the floor, while the teamwith the ball has one man out-of-bounds with the ball. The opposingteani can easily cover the defendingteam.

SIGNS OF SPRINGFOUND IN PURPLEBASEBALL PRACTICECoach Stewart HasSquad of Hurlersand Catchers FullI*'irst signs of spring are to be foundat Patten gymnasium here whereNorthwestern university’s baseballteam has started indoi>r practice.Coach Paul Stewart, the Purple’s newdiamond mentor, has a squad ofpitchers and catchers w’orking out atthe present time and expects to issuea call for the other candidates soon.Among the pitchers now' workingout under the eye of the coach arefive who show promise of developinginto first rate performers by the timethe opening game rolls around. Theseare Heideman, McAleece and Weilwho have had previous experience onthe team and Plasket and Fife, twosophomores. Weil is the only lefthander in this group.Three Good CatchersThree catchers stand out above thebackstop candidates now endeavoringto win a place on the team. They arcShorty Rojan, Nels \'andenberg andBill Carey. The latter was regularcatcher last year while V’andenbergworked a number of games two yearsago. Rojan broke an ankle on thesouthern training trip last spring andwas out for the season.Coach Stewart plans to call out in¬field and outfield candidates soon inorder to get a line on the materialavailal>le for these positions. Duringthe brief fall workout he had the fol¬lowing candidates with which to work:Capt. Izard third base; HowardPrang, last year’s short stop and JoeSwartz, sophomore short stop; JoeKadizon, last season’s second basemanand Francis Waniata, a sophomore;Don Schuett, a sophomore is the lead¬ing aspirant for the first base job atpresent.Need OutfieldersNeed of outfield candidates is urgentthis season since only two of lastyear’s fly chasers are back.

THE TEMPEST.^t last, according to “The NewStudent,” Princeton has set out toeducate the world, or at least that partof the world that can not or will notgo to college. .-Kt Princeton—Prince¬ton, no less—was filmed that latest ofeducational pictures. “Yarsity.” Nowthe world may see once more, thistime in the dignified surroundings ofone of the oldest of .\merican colleges,the tattooed slicker, the battered head-pieces, the rooms decorated with"Keep Off the Grass” signs, the foot¬ball game won and lost by the magni¬ficent 58-yard run in the last 11 sec¬onds of play—may see. in a word, allthe very collegiate characteristics ofmovie colleges.And Princeton—how proud must itsstudents and alumjii be because theircollege is furthering thus the educa¬tion of those heretofore altogether tooignorant of such eccentricities as dis¬tinguished the college student fromthe sane man! So proud are they, in¬deed, that exhibitors of “Varsity” areafraid to show it at Princeton. Soproud are they that telegrams fromalumni of Princeton praising—Yale, be¬cause it refused to permit the desecra¬tion of its campus with such a travestyon college life and college spirit andcollege sense. So proud are they thatstudents are suggesting such additionalmeasures as a nation-wide advertisingcampaign with such slogans as ‘Prince¬ton, The Friendly University,’ or ‘Yondon’t know what education is untilyou’ve l)een to Princeton.’The exa:ni)!e set for college studentsby movie stars impersonating them isbecoming increasingly difficult to fol¬low.

It may be agood plan if it is worked out morethoroughly.
