EngelIn these days when one resortsalternately to a ferry boat and apair of sncrwshoes to wend his soli¬tary way across the quadrangles, thebalmy days of summer seem a 16ngway off. Perhaps it’s just the rotten¬ness of the present climate condi¬tions that reminded me the otherday of the long, langorous summer-evenings.I was a horny handed son of toillast summer. Forgot for threemonths that the University of Chi¬cago ever existed and while this dumpseems one hell of a place now, I re¬member the time when I thought itwas a paradise and swore to Allah ithat if I could ever beat my feet inthe campus mud again I’d nevercomplain.

Thiswill be the third lecture in a courseof a series of five called “The ItalianRenaissance” given by the Univer¬sity College at the Art Institute.Professor Schevill’s talk will con¬cern the development of sculpturefrom the medieval period up to thefifteenth and sixteenth centuries andwill cover all the famous sculptureto the time of Michael Angelo.All these lectures are illustratedby slides and the next one will dealwith the famous paintings of the Re¬naissance. Although the history of Greece hasbecome relatively unknown, thej Greek writers and their works haveremained immortal, said AssociateProfessor George C. Howland of theGeneral Literature department in hislecture presented yesterday after¬noon before the Classical Club.Professor Howland used the mem¬ories of his studies of the Classics andwhat the knowledge of them hasmeant to him as the subject for hisdiscussion. One of the most import¬ant points was the simplicity, thepower, and the beauty of the orig¬inal poems as compared with trans¬lations which lack both the simplic¬ity and the power. Quotations frommodern and ancient Greek poets il¬lustrated this difference.“Classical allusions form an im¬portant part of all literature,” Mr.Howland said.Acacias to SponsorAcquaintance DanceAll Masons, Boy Builders, andDeMolays have been invited to aget-acquainted dance to be given byAcacia on Saturday night, February2 in the Reynolds club.

It carries with it the threat of the installation ofthe caste system of the Old World; wealth and influence are givenan excellent opportunity to overwhelm western ideals of democracyand liberality, for the groupings must be based on a common or in¬tellectual interest.The danger to these American ideals, so fostered through theyears by American education, is so imminent that we believe thatHarvard would have done better to refuse the gift. We do not meanto criticise development of the American university system; w’efirmly believe that innovations are in order on any campus. Butwe believe just as steadfastly that the innovations should not be de¬manded by outside interests or directed by them, but should rather,be the outcome of the experience of American educators and ad¬ministrators.One of the greatest wastes in education is found in gifts andendowments which are given, not freely for the best use thatthe university can find for them, but with strings and obligationsall over them which the administrations must satisfy in order to re¬ceive the gift at all. Rather than see a gift of that sum go else¬where the administration of Harvard university promised to insti¬gate the new plan even though it is threatening some of the basicideals of American education in so doing.In the future if this state of afl^airs continues to follow the roadit has outlined for itself, we do not see why some of the nationaladvertisers will not see it to their advantage to invade the sacredcampus gates; and we shall not be surprised to see Lucky StrikeLaboratory, Kotex Hall and Arrow Collar Library erected at theprice of a two page ad in the Saturday Evening Post.It is Tiot that the gifts from wealthy sources are not wanted;everyone knows that more that can be put into improving the uni¬versity system, the more the opportunities of that system for accom¬plishing valuable results will be enhanced. But these gifts shouldnot be offered with reservations that will embarrass the presidentsand trustees that accept them.MAROONS CLASHWITH BUCKEYESIN CAGE TILT(Continued from page 1)because Buckeye fans have been pro¬testing against the inconvenience oftravelling at night to the stock pa-villion where the Ohio State homegames are played.

JANUARY 25, 1929MENTAL STRAINHITS HAWKEYEBASKET PLAYERSPhysical strain of four Januaryconference games has given way tomental stress of semester examina¬tions as the University of Iowa bask¬etball players retire from the Big Tenrace until Feb. 2.With an even break in four games,the Hawkeyes now share fourthplace with Ohio State, following the28 to 27 defeat by Northwestern lastSaturday night.The athletes will practice at halfspeed this week, concentrating on thetwo-hour examinations in each oftheir courses. The mental ordealsend Saturday, then the team meetsCreighton University of Omaha onthe Iowa court, and will attempt totune up for the final eight confer¬ence games.A recuperation period is sorelyneeded by at least four Hawkeyeplayers. Virgil David, guard with a bad ankle, could not play at allagainst Northwestern, and ForrestTwogood was harassed by a sprainedthumb, heavily bandaged. Two re¬serves, Doyal Plunkitt, forward; andFred Geneva, guard, remained athome, nursing injuries which maybother them all season.Although defeated twice, Iowa isby no means eliminated from the BigTen championship race, if this sea¬son is anything like those of the pastten years. In 1920, 1927 and 1928,the victor, or sharers of the title,dropped two games, and in three oth¬er seasons lost four games.Four universities shared the cham¬pionship in 1926, Iowa taking a pieceby winning six consecutive games af¬ter losing four of the first half dozen.On two other occasions, three teams,i each beaten four times, split theI championship.I It has been ten years since Minne¬sota won by taking all ten games. Inthree campaigns, teams which won!the clear title or shared honors lostI only one contest. LONBORG SHIFTSPURPLE LINEUP;PUT WALTER OUTWith Rut Walter, star center andhigh score, almost definitely out ofthe lineup Coach Arthur Lonborg isdoing considerable shifting around toget a workabde combination togetherfor the game with Notre Dame atPatten gymnasium Saturday night.Walter tore a number of ligamentsin his knee during the Iowa gamelast week and is not likely to seemuch action for several weeks.Just who will jump center forNorthwestern with Walter out is stillsomewhat doubtful. Rus Bergherm,playing forward at present, has per¬formed at the pivot assignment attimes and may be used. In such anevent either Johnny Haas or BertRiel might take over the forward job.In the previous encounter with theIrish at South Bend, the Wildcats were without the services of Capt.Hal Gleichmann who was ill with theflu. The Purple took that game byan 18 to 14 score. However, NotreDame is travelling at a much fasterpace at the present time and a nipand tuck battle is anticipated, doublyso with Walter out of the proceedings.A capacity crowd of over 6,000 per¬sons will witness the popular contestwhich each season sees the sportminded fans displaying added inter¬est.! Last year the two teams divided'the home and home series, the Irish[winning at South Bend and North-j western triumphing at Evanston.The later encounter was a thrillerfrom start to finish with the Wildcats on top at the close by a 25 to 23score.While Nore Dame has not sweptthrough all opposition as easily thisyear as they did last, neverthelessCoach Keogan’s boys must have con¬siderable power as a result of theireasy victory over Pennsylvania lastweek. The quaker team has the bestrecord in the east and Notre Dame’swin certainly marks the latter as afive to be reckoned with. CLASSIFIED ADSFOR SALE—Tuxedo at reason¬able price.
