L. Ricketts, honorary cur- jator of manuscripts at the Art In- jstitute, has discovered some of the.secrets of an art lost for nearly fivehundred years, and among them, themeans of embossing gold-leaf on jvellum in the manner of the old mas¬ters. Some seventy of these paint-;ings are made on specially preparedparchment, made of skin, over trac¬ings made from photographs of ori¬ginal manuscripts in the British mu¬seum. The paintings have been com¬pared with the original manuscriptsfor exactness of color and detail,even to the discoloration of pigmentfrom oxidations, and it would be dif¬ficult to distinguish them from theoriginals the.mselves. The copies areto be reproduced in the folio Mr.Ricketts is preparing on “The Artof Scriptarium of the Middle Agesin England,” a life work of love andlabor which will be his bequest toour time. The collection is arrangedchronologically, covering the periodfrom the seventh to the fifteenth(Continued from page 0 iTHOMAS MASTERS,BROTHER OF POET,DIES SUDDENLYThomas Masters, father of DexterMasters, editor of The Forge, diedWednesday, January 1, at 2:30 a.m., as the resuH of an operation forgastritis.i'homas Masters was a prominentlawyer in Springfield, Illinois, hishonr He received his early educa¬tion m Morgan Park academy in Chi¬cago, l.udied English at Notre Dame,and graduated from the Universityof Michigan law school.

CH/EBA BRINGS ASSYRIANBULL TO THE UNIVERSITYExpedition Unearths OldTrophies in Ruinsof Palace“The largest stone bull in captiv¬ity,” unearthed in fragments thisspring from the ruins of Sargon'spalace at Khorsabad, Assyria, has ar¬rived in Chicago as the property ofthe new University Oriental Insti¬tute. The bull, weighing forty tons,was part of a 125 ton shipment ofstone relics from the palace court¬yard.These trophies represent part ofthe past season’s work of the As¬syrian expedition maintained by theAfrican StudiesHis Tribe For aUniversity Ph. D.A Chicago scientist, in whose veinsis the royal blood of Liberal, andwho is himself the rightful king of25,000 West Coast Africans, left theUniversity campus Wednesday to* re¬turn to his own people. He returnsnot to claim a chieftainship relin¬quished 20 years ago when as a j“prince” of 14 he ran away to get |a white man’s education but as an janthropological investigator seeking Jto analyze his own tribe as an ex¬ample of primitive life in Africa.Charles G.

Michelson’sretirement from his position as headof the Physics department to takeeffect at the close of Spring quar¬ter, was regretfully accepted by theboard of trustees December 12. Hegave ill health as the reason.Professor Michelson was endowedwith the first distinguished serviceprofessorship, established at the Uni¬versity in 1925. He won the Nobelprize in 1907 for his work in optics.(The only three Nobel prizes wonin America in physics were won inRyerson laboratory.) His work onthe speed of light was part of an ex¬periment that formed the basis forEinstein’s theory of relativity.He was also awarded the Copleymedal in 1907 and the Rumfordmedal in 1899. Cambridge, Prince¬ton, Yale, Leipzig and the Univer¬sities of Pennsylvania have confer¬red honorary degrees upon him. University’s Oriental Institute andheaded by Professor Edward Chiera.An equal amount was given to theIraq government.The most highly prized item, thebull, will measure 17 by 18 feetwhen it is assembled. Architects forthe new Oriental Institute buildingare providing special reinforcing inthat part of the foundation whichwill support the bull. Until the com¬pletion of this structure, the Assy¬rian trophy will be stored under theNorth Stand of Stagg Field.According to Professor Chiera thebull was one of the devices by whichSargon impressed envoys with hispower. Like the other symbolicalbulls of that period, it has the headof a man and the wings of an eagle.It is carved with five legs so thatwhen viewed from the front it has,two, and from the side, four. Theback of the slab contains cuneiforminscriptions telling of the power andsplendor of Sargon.Besides the hull, there is includedin the shipment, some of the mostbeautiful examples of Assyrian artever discovered. In all there areeighty-five cases of material, theslabs being packed and protectedwith cotton, wood, straw and iron.NEWMAN OFFERSIDEA OF TWINNINGIN FINGER PRINTSA probable solution to a problemthat has puzzled finger-print experts,namely that the loops and whoorlson the thumb are often in reversedirirtion to those* on other fingers,'has been suggested by Dr. HoratioHackett Newman, of the Departmentof Zoology, after a series of re¬searches on the finger prints of 200human twins. Every human hand,according to the theory advanced byDr. Newman, before the GeneticsDivision of the American Associationfor the Advancement of Science inconvention recently at Des Moines,Iowa, is composed of a set of twins,^e thumb being one twin and theoither fingers the other twin.“My theory is that the hand, inthe germ cell and early embryo, isoriginally a symmetrical structure.The fingers are produced duringgrowth by di-chrotomous division, ortwinning. The first division sets thethumb aside as the twin of the restof the hand. Second branching ofthe ulnar, or non-thumb component,produces the other fingers. The veryfrequent occurrence of mirror-imag¬ing between the thumb and first fin¬ger is looked upon as a vestige of anoriginal twin relation, as it seldomoccurs in the other fingers.”Stevens To DirectCollege EducationIn New York CityProfessor David Harrison Stevens,associate dean of the faculties of theUniversity, and assistant to thepresident, has been appointed Direc¬tor of College Education of the Gen¬eral Education Board in New YorkCity. The appointment is effectiveimmediately and a leave of absencefor six months has been granted Mr.Stevens by the University. In hisposition with the General EducationBoard, Mr. Stevens will study theeducational policies, methods, andneeds of various of the colleges ofthe country. -Emory T. Filbey, professor of in¬dustrial relations, and Director ofthe Institute of Meat Packing, hasbeen named assistant to the pres¬ident for the period of Mr. Stevens’leave of absence. Mr. Howard Greerhas been appointed to Mr. Filbey’sposition as director of the Institute. PLAN OPTIONALEXAMS INSTEADOF FALL FINALInstructors in 8, 1:30 and 3:30classes of the Autumn Quarter havebeen authorized to enter as finalcourse grades the class averages ofthose among their students who wereabsent from the examinations sched¬uled for Thursday, December 19th.Because of the blizzard, and conse¬quent breakdown in transportationfacilities, many students who madeevery reasonable effort to reach theUniversity were unable to do so. Anystudent applying for the privilege,however, may take a special exam¬ination on Saturday, January 25th.Students may, at the option oftheir instructors, be required to takethis special examination.Professors SpendTheir Vacations atAcademic MeetingsMore than one hundred membersof the faculty spent the holiday sea¬son representing the University atthe various academic congresses heldlast week throughout the country.Chicago men presided over three of•the most important of these; Profes¬sor William F. Ogburn as presidentof the American Sociological Societyat Washington; Professor WilliamA. Nitze as president of the ModernLanguage Association, meeting atColumbus; and Dean Henry GordonGale as president of the AmericanPhysical Society convening at DesMoines.Dr. Warder C. Allee of the Zoo-,Jogy department headed the Ecolog¬ical Society convention at DesMoines, and Professor Frank R. Lil¬lie was general secretary of the Am¬erican Association for the Advance¬ment of Science which gathered atDes Moines also. Professor Fay-Cooper Cole, chairman of the An¬thropology department, addressedthe anthropology section at DesMoines as its retiring head. TheUniversity was also represented ata law and a legislative convention inNew Orleans.Stephen Wise ToSpeak At ChapelServices SundayDr. Stephen S. Wise, head of theZionist movement in the UnitedStates, and Rabbi of the Free Syn¬agogue of New York, will arrive inChicago Sunday to speak at the reg¬ular services in the University chapel.The well-known Zionist, one of themost brilliant speakers in the coun¬try, will broadcast his sermon overWMAQ.J.

GIVE DEMPSTERSCIENTIFIC PRIZEI FORDJ^OVERY! Proves Nucleus of Atomj Travels at GreatSpeedi Proof that the infinitesimal nuc-j leus of a hydrogen atom, held byscientists to be one of the most solidand stable thing in the universe, isactually in a state of continuous vi¬bration at tremendous speed, hasbeen produced at the University byProfessor Arthur J. Dempster.An Important DiscoveyrI The discovery, hailed by scientistsi yesterday as one of the most import-1 ant advances in physics in recentj years, w'as described at the Univer-\ sity following announcement fromDes Moines that Professor Dempsterhad been awarded the $1,000 prizeoffered annually by the AmericanAssociation for the Advancement ofScience for “a noteworthy contribu¬tion to science.”j Significance ascribed to the ex-! periments by physicists reveal thej discovery as the final link in a chainof evidence, accumulated from allover the world in the last decade,that everything in the universe hasa wave-form as well as a particle-form.Compton Lauds Work“The most important contributionof twentieth century physics is thatthe physical world can be reduced tothree kinds of particles, protons,electrons and photons, and that eachof these particles has also the char¬acteristics of waves.” said ProfessorArthur H.

Out ofeight books chosen as the best sellersof the quarter, four of them are onphilosophy.“The Philosophic Way of Life” byT. V. Smith, is a book wherein fivephilosophers go in search of another,and find ithem in the reader. J. S.Haldane’s “Science and Pilosophy,”John Dewey’s “Quest for Certainty,”“Twilight of Christianity” by HarryElmer Barnes are the other non¬fiction books.“All Quiet on the Western Front”by Erich M. Remarque, “A Farewellto Arms” by Ernest Hemingway,and “Omnibus of Crime” by DorothySayer, a collection of mysterystories are the best sellers of fiction.One of the best sellers is “Questof Ages” by Eustace A.

Tomorrow night. (Continued from page 1)of twentieth century physics whichhas been accomplished by ProfessorDempster.’’Photographs the PhotonsProfessor Dempster, during thelast eight months of experimentation,succeeded in taking photographs ofthe positively charged protons in amanner which proved them to be vi¬brating approximately 1,X)00,000times as fast as ordinary light. Byshooting the protons through a cry¬stal in a vacuum, he was able toso show pattern marks on the sen¬sitized plate. If the proton had beenmerely a particle without vibration,noithing but a dot would have beenrevealed on the photographic plate.This “diffraction pattern’’ was ex¬plained by Professor Dempster yes¬terday as being similar to the dif-1fused appearance of sunlight through Ian umbrella, a phenomenon peculiar jto things having a wave-form. “In i'these experiments a calcite crystal |takes the place of the umbrella, and is used as a mesh to control the par¬ticles,” he said. “The hydrogen pro-the crystal in much the same waythat light photons would, and theirpatterns on the photographic platetons in these experiments penetratedleave no doubt as to their wave-prop¬erties.II Experiment on Hydrogenj “The experiments completed haveI so far been confined to hydrogen.But since all the elements consist ofthe same thing or things, in differ¬ent arrangement, it can be assumedthat the protons of all substanceswould act in the same manner. Hy¬drogen is the simplest of the ele¬ments.

Adoption of a plan for supervised, regulated rushing.1930And so a new year is at hand, 1930 by common agreement.The Daily Maroon, unlike its contemporary in campus publications,the Phoenix, cannot signify its awareness of this novel state ofaffairs with any such grandiloquent figures as “flaps its wings andtakes off on a new flight.” For The Diuly Maroon just isn’t builtthat way. Neither would it wish to plagarize any of the OldBirds’ bromides. But in its staid and steady way, so befitting thehoary oracle of campus palaver, Th'e Daily Maroon is none the lessthrilled at the contemplation of the unsullied stretch of days whichlie immediately ahead. Even the fact that two days in the newlyallotted era have slipped under the bridge witheut any sole worthyaccomplishment does not dampen its ardor or lessen its assurancethat heroic things will be accomplished in the remaining 363.Four days of rest and recreation have done wonders for TheDaily Maroon. We return to serve our public a revitalized optim¬ism, a spirit manifestly lacking in our last hectic utterances. TheDaily Maroon is convinced that peace, happiness, and prosperityfor itself, the University, and its inmates are just down the roada bit. However, reading “Pippa Passes” together with some doz¬ens of New Year greeting cards is likely to convince one of mostanything. Seriously speaking, though, the gentleman who con¬ceived this idea of dividing time into years was a pretty wise boy.He erred chiefly in putting these periods of inventory too far apartThe celebration of the end of one year and the beginning of an¬other is attended wtih remarkable cathartic effects—mental ratherthan physical. The ordinary run of human beings can conivneethemselves that they are in reality starting afresh; all the disappoint¬ments and failures are allowed to slide into the limbo of disregarded,and hope and faith are ressurected. Even though this state ofPollyanic bliss is transient, there is to the interstitial breathing spellcertain resuscitating value.And so today if The Daily Maroon should extend to the worFdat large a very hearty greeting for 1930 and tomorrow gaze outupon the world wit hits customary dourenss; it is to be understoodthat we are just recovering from the exhilirating transports of de¬light in contemplation of the New Year and its possibilities.A SUGGESTION FOR THE VESPERSWe have found in the organ vespers at the Chapel a genu¬ine inspiration. Not infrequently have we laid aside our editorialresponsibilities in the early dusk of these winter evenings anddropped into the chapel for the half hour serveie. We can claimno religious motive in this exercise, except in so far as aestheticappreciation is in itself a sort of religion. We have not gone topray and meditate; we have gone to rest and restore. We havebeen consistently satisfied.Hence, it is not in the. spirit of criticism that we offer a sug- 'gestion. It concerns itself with the ending of the service. Atpresent the organ ceases to play, very abruptly the lights go on,amd the audience deduces that the service is concluded. We sug¬gest that at the end of every program some standard theme, briefand recognizable, be played. We do not sugest taps or even,reveille, but perhaps a few phrases from some well-known hymn.In this manner one would not be suddenly affronted by finis andshoved, all unprepared, back into the routine of living.

Where it should be the back¬bone of the university it has small sig¬nificance. There appear to be twodefinite alternatives, a full acceptanceof The Proctor System or a full ac¬ceptance of The Honor System. Hon¬or, under The Proctor System, be¬comes at best a conditioned reaction.The temptation would still be there.The temptation to “put something ovet^”to beat the law. even as speeding andspeakeasying are done and boasted of.There are numerous ways of cribbing—there are even ingenious arguments forit. A Wisconsin undergraduate oncetold me that he remembered all thematerial that he had ever cribbed; theexcitement of the moment had im¬pressed it indelibly upon his mind. 1have known of cases where a Phi Betekey has been acquired through crib¬bing. In a final examination in Bibli¬cal Literature, last spring, I was es¬pecially impressed by the incongru¬ousness of the action.

NINTHCampus basketball teams will gointo action on January 9th at Bart¬lett Gym and also at the new SunnyGymnasium. Approximately sixtyteams will start the grind to seekhonors as University Champs. Therewill be ten leagues of six teams eachplaying a round robin; then the win¬ners and runners-up of each leaguewill enter an elimination tournamentto decide the University Champs.The Intramural department has ar¬ranged to have two divisions to carefor first and second class players.Loving cups will be awarded to thewinners and runners-up of each lea¬gue, while 'the University Champswill receive individual awards in ad¬dition to a handsome cup.Competition promises to be muchkeener than last year, since thestronger teams of last year havedisintegrated to some extent and theweaker teams have strengthened con¬ siderably by fthe addition of fresh¬men. While no definite pre-seasondope can be given out, it appearsthat the following teams will haveto be considered as serious contend¬ers for the crown: The Macs. PhiPsis, A. T. 0., Dekes, and D.

JANUARY. 3, 1930Present Student Dramas In Fifth Annual PlayfestSET FEB. 7 AND 8FOR 1930 DEBUTREHEARSALS HELDContributors RepresentMany ActivtiesOn Campus ‘STRANGE INTERLUDE”Reviewed byGeorge T. Van der Hoef“University Plays by UniversityPlayers" will grace the boards of tjieReynolds Club Theatre on February7 and 8 when the fifth annual Playfest,steeped in the tradition of glamorouspredecessors, makes its campus debut.The innovation of such a bill marksthe veritable killing of two birds withstone; for the plays which will be fea¬tured this year were written during thepast quarter in Mr. Frank O’Hara’splaywriting class. Some of these dra¬matic works are already in rehearsalfor changes, in which category is list¬ed the play presented by a group of in¬itiates at the Dramatic association in¬itiation ceremonies last TuesdayProduce Student PUyvIt has ever been the policy ofPlayfest to produce plays of studentcomposition, investing the students notonly with the powers of compositionand action, but with the costuming,scenery, and actual staging of theirproductions. The resultant programshave boasted a great variety of sub¬ject matter and a wide diversity ofscenes. Chicago, .A.ncient Syria, Me¬diaeval Spain, the South, and the Westhave taken the stage to bid for fame;and high society has vied with gangjoints in an attempt to outdo the yearprevious.This la Fifth AnniversaryThe Dramatic play-day havingachieved its fifth anniversary, we arecarried back perforce to its birthday,when Professor Percy H. Boynton, asmaster-of-ceremonies introduced thethree plays given as a SettlementBenefit. Two of the presentationswere enacted by members of the Dra¬matic association; and the third wasthe offering of the Quadrangle ClubPlayers, which cast boasted Vice-president Frederic Woodward, Mrs. Wood¬ward, and Professor .Arthur Bovee,Quartet of Pre^dentsAt the second Playfest, Mr. Wood¬ward acted as master-of-ceremonies,telling bits about the plays and play¬ers between numbers. Mr. Percy B.Eckhart guided the course of the thirdevent, while Mr. Howard Willett com¬pleted the quartet, each of which hadat one time been a president of theDramatic association. It has beenquite a family affair, as the wives ofeach master-of-ceremonies had alsobeen a member of the association, theEckharts have been represented by adaughter, and the Willetts bv a son.Varied PlaywrightsPlaywrights from whose fertilebrains the Playfest actions haveevolved represent the gamut of cam¬pus activities. Editors of The DailyMaroon and of the Forge, a baseballstar, winners of poetry prizes, under¬graduates. and gradua l students haveproduced plays, several of which havebeen adopted for presentation in vari¬ous schools, colleges, and little thea¬tres.Xo announcement has been made todate concerning the plays selected forthis year’s presentation; but it is in¬teresting to conjecture on the possibleoutcome. The fact that a Maroon edi¬tor and a Forge co-editor have playsready for rehearsal gives rise to theinevitable query, "Will history runtrue to form?" When I settled down m my squawk¬ing seat in the ‘ne.Kt to the last row otthe peanut gallery to see “fStrange In¬terlude,” a play in nine acts by Eu¬gene O’Neil, I was in an exceec^nglysceptical frame of mind. In the firstplace the knees of the sweet youngthing behind me were abominably un¬comfortable in the nape of my neck,and secondly, the strong tang of alcoholarising from the bespatted gentlemanbeside was quite distracting. How¬ever, with the silent rising of the cur¬tain 1 was so busy straining every weecilia to catch the words that little elsebothered me.I must admit that O’Neill showed amarvelous amount of daring in starl¬ing his play with the spoken thoughtsof his chara’cterS. And such thoughts—no doubt there were several dear la¬dies who deliciously shivered in de¬lightful anticipation of things to comeafter the first burst of suppressed libi¬dos into the full limelight. Old Charlieis an interesting character of the Oedi¬pus complex type and remains faith¬ful to his type to the last. In doingthis, O’Neill completely surprised me,fi>r I had been expecting that he toowould eventually give way to Nina'.swinning ways.Nina PowerfulNina, as portrayed by Judith .\ii-derson, is an unforgetable role. On’y 'once during the entire nine acts do“S [she appear really beautiful, and yet. ithroughout the entire play, one doesnot doubt for a moment her power toattract men..Although a noted dramatic critic onthis campus does not agree with me. 1thought that the entire cast was ad¬mirably selected. Sam the husbai|d,was just the simple soul that the tr.i- ditional cuckold is sirpposed to be.Ned the lover, is a most convincingperson in his role and Nina’s father,the professor, is remarkable in that heprovides Nina with a character to de¬velop into as she grows older.Continuity SolidThe continuity of the play holds upremarkably well for its length. How'-ever, it seemed to me that there weretimes when the author had to relyupon the old melodramatic hokum tocarry on. This is especially true in thescene aboard the Evans’ yacht. To methis scene seemed both strained andartificial. At this point O’Neill triesto get .symbolic and falls rather flat.Perhaps the reactions of the audi¬ence are as good an indication of theplay’s reality as any. At all events onewonders about the woman who sud¬denly shook the house with bursts ofhysterical laughter at a particularlydelicate point.Pathological TypesIt seems a shame that O’Neillshould spoil the force of his drama byusing psychopathic characters. Itmakes the play one based upon indi¬viduals instead of types, and these in¬dividuals are decidedly abnormal.Although to those who only see theobvious, this play is decidedly im¬moral, it seems to me that it is reallyone of the greatest cries for moralitythat has been produced in many a day.Nina seeks happiness as the ultimate inlife. She tries to gain it for herselfand others by sacrificing cor^entionsThe play ends and she is still seekinghappiness, after a life that has beenruinous to the happiness not only otherself but all those associated withher. Surely for anyone who can seean inch beyond his nose, the moral isplainer than many found wrapped inantique language. In fact the brutalfrankness of O’Neill will probablypunch the truth home to more peoplethan a hundred hell-fire and brimstonesermons.ERNST ROEHLKArtist PhotogH’apher5809 Harper Ave.Phone Hyde Park 8282ELIZABETH OLK-ROEHLKCello InstructorAvailable for Solo andEnsemble Elngagements.

NormanSince the Military department be¬came a part of the University, ef¬forts have been made to place polo ona par with other sports. Insurmount¬able handicaps have been met. Thefield was too small and rough for fastplay. The seasons were too short forpractice. The horses were not of theproper type.These handicaps have been square¬ly met and now we can see light.Through the cooperation with Nation¬al (luard Field Artillery regiments andthe Union Stock Yards Co., we areable to practice indoors during in¬clement weather and in wint'^r. Anaddition of seven new horses duringthe summer has increased the numberof our string. A further increase often polo horses is expected this year.Intramural SportAbout 3 years ago, polo was rec¬ognized as an intramural sport. Cupsand medalettes have been awarded towinning teams.

This is theonly out of town trip the Maroonsare making on their practice .sched¬ule. They will close their pre-con¬ference schedule Tuesday evening atBartlett gym against Ohio Wesleyan.After making a none* too auspici¬ous opening against Lake Forest, theMarons slumped badly against Ober-lin. The one bright spot in the gamewas the injection of the diminutivePaul Stephenson in Captain Chag-non’s place. Sitephenson livened thegame up considerably in the secondhalf and was responsible for bring¬ing the Marons to within a tie score.Oberlin pulled the game out of thefire with a last minute basket.The Maroons rallied, however,from the Oberlin defeat when theyfaced Carleton, which had lost toWiscon.sin the week previous by asmall score. Coach Norgren sentAshley, an Indiana product, into thegame, along with Stephenson. Thesetwo, teamed with Sid Yates, featuredChicago’s play against Carleton. which resulted- in a 25-20 victory.Marshall Fish and Joe Temple havebeen playing a steady game at theguard posts, although .4shley is cer¬tain to join these two as a regular.Stephenson has also shown that hedeserves serious consideration for aregular berth.The failure of Bunge and Boeselto display anything like Varsity format center means that Captain HarryChagnon may be withdrawn from hisregular forward post and shifted tothe pivot position. Both Boesel andBunge have the height but they havebeen slow in rounding into form. IfCoach Norgren shifts Chagnon tocenter, the vacant forward berthwould be delegated to Stephenson,which would solve one problem.One of Norgren’s annual wor¬ries, eligibility, has come and gone,and fortunately the grim reaper tookonly two men off the squad. Kowal¬ski and Wein, the latter a promisingprospect, stubbed their toes in theexaminations and will not be amongthose present, although the lattermay be able to reinstate himself, yetfor the big show.The Maroons will inaugurate the jconference season at Chicago Jan-1uary 11th.

Notre Dame WinsChampionship GridAward for 1929I Notre Dame was named the cham-I pionship football team of 1929 in aballot of the leading sports writersof the country, which was sponsoredby .Albert Russell Erskine, automo¬bile magnate.The final ballot shows Rockne’steam leading with 179 votes, Pitts¬burg second with 41 votes and Pur¬due third with two votes. The voteof the Committee of Award, com¬posed of nationally known patronsof football, gave Notre Dame 11 ad¬ditional votes, making her grand to¬tal 190. Pittsburgh and Purdue re¬ceived no votes in the Committee ofAward. The vote of Theodore Roose¬velt, a member of ‘the committee,was cabled from Porto Rico by wayof the War Department in Wash¬ington.The Notre Dame team will receivea huge silver cup signifying the foot¬ball title, to be held for one year.The final act will be the presentationof a President Eight Sedan to KnuteRockne, the coaching wizard ofNotre Dame.In the preliminary ballot, whichserved to select the teams to be votedfor on the final ballot, each memberof the jury named three teams. Valu¬ing the votes at 5 for first place, 3for second, and 1 for third, this firstballot produced the following results:Notre Dame 777Pittsburgh 442Purdue 210St. Mary’s 48Tulane ; 22Southern California 21Texas Christian 10 Tennessee 8Yale 2Dartmouth 2North Carolina 2Colgate 2Utah 1Stanford 1The names of the three leadingteams of this ballot were according- ‘ly submitted to the jury for the final!ballot, with the results previously |mentioned. |Analyzing the jury’s voting bystates, k is found that the majorityin every state except six voted onthe first ballo-t for Notre Dame.These six were Missouri and Nebra¬ska, for Pittsburgh; Alabama andKansas, both divided between NotreDame and Pittsburgh; New Mexico,which split between Notre Dame andSL Mary’s ,and Oregon, which hesi¬tated between Notre Dame, St.Mary’s, and Purdue. On the finalballot, however, every state turned |its majority to Notre Dame. jAward to Continue |“Reception of the Erskine Award iin this, its firsit year, has been so en- jthusiastic on the part of both foot¬ball experts and the public at largethat it has been decided to renewit in 1930,” states W. 0.

Both will leave todayfor New York, after receiving finalinstructions from Dr. Sapir, wherethey will sail for Germany to consultw’ith Professors Eric von Hornbosteland Dierich Westermann of the Uni¬versity of Berlin, experts respective¬ly on primitive music and the Sudan¬ese language, of which Blooah’s na¬tive tongue is one dialect. Fromthere they will proceed to Monrovia,capital of Liberia, and then on toNimiah, Blooah’s “home.”Survey Grebo ClanThe major purpose of the expedi¬tion, which is financed by the Uni¬versity’s Local Community ResearchCommittee, is to make a completeethnological survey of the Grebopeople, whom Blooah was at onetime destined to rule. Customs,language folkways, mores and so¬cial organization of this obscure buttypically African group, and espe¬cially their music and their mysteri¬ous “drum language,” will be thefirst objects of 'the survey. The twoChicago men will live for a yearamong the Grebos.Blooah, who believes himself to benow about 35 years old, w-as the old¬est son of the last chief at Nimiah.When as the heir apparent to thehighest Grebo office he was aboutto be placed under native surveil¬lance for protection, he ran away toa mission. That was 20 years ago,and his younger brother has succeed¬ tIed to the position of chief. Sincehe was about 16 Blooah has beenworking his way through gradeschool, high school and college in America. Four years ago ProfessorSapir found him setting up pins inthe student clubhouse on the Uni¬versity campus and discovered thathe could speak the obscure and dif¬ficult Grebo language.Compiles DictionarySince then he has been employedby the University in compiling thefirst dictionary and grammar of theGrebo tongue, and in writing an an¬thology of the folk-lore and customsof his native “culture.”He was asked yesterday abouthow he could be received by his peo¬ple, who resent the inroads of Euro¬pean civilization. “Courteously, Ibelieve,” he said, “Though probablywith some curiosity, suspicion andeven ridicule. I will probably betreated as one of the family, thoughI will have lost my political statusand my right to speak in the coun¬cils. That, however, should not ham¬per the scientific work. I have hadsome communication with home butmy visit will be entirely unexpected.”Live in HutsIHerzog and Blooah will make their :headquarters at Cape Palmas, up the icoast from Nimiah, but expect to be :provided with a hut by Blooah’s |brother, where they will study the |native life as closely as possible with-1 out endangering Iheir health. Blooahbelieves that he has lost his immun¬ity to tropic diseases, and will haveto use mosquito netting and Amer¬ican clothes, and to boil his water.Part of their equipment will be twophonograph records and 500 recordsfor recording native speech and mu¬sic, and a motion picture camera.Their first efforts will be to rec¬ord the complex and mysterious“drum language,” by which the na¬tives can signal for miles as easilyas they can talk. “They are report¬ed to have two systems of communi¬cation by drums,” said Dr. Herzogyesterday, “one of which is a con¬ventionalized code, similar to ourMorse code. The other is a systemof reproducing 'the language syllablefor syllable. They beat on hollowedlogs, or on their canoes, but the na¬tive xylophones and horns can beused for the same purpose. Thoughit is used chiefly for such things asrecalling hunters or informing neigh¬boring allies of trouble,, it can alsobe used for ordinary communication.In fact they have a system of vocalshouts which is different from thelanguage. In the Congo it is not un¬usual for a native to paddle up tothe village of his enemy late at nightand publicly call him names by beat-The finest ofPhotographicPortraitureOfficial Photographers for Cap and GownStudios: 218 So.

Both systems de¬pend on a differentiation of pitch, in Iwhich the same syllable, sounded at Ifour different pitches, may meanfour different things. The native Imusic, while primitive, is also com-1plex in pitch, as many as twelve!.scales being used. We will try to Ifind if there is any relation between |language, music and poeitry.” jTen cows and four bulls are await-1ing Blooah in the common treasury ;of the “township,” if the old rules'still hold, according to the anthropo-1legist. He was informed throughmissionaries ten years ago that he;had been offered either a native wife jor the bovine inheritance if he came ,back. According 'to native folk-lore,!however, he was married before he .was born, as the son of his father, |to “Gelede,” one of the legendary'goddesses of the Grebos, and is the !reincarnation of Gelede’s giant hus¬band. jExcept for several missionaries, |Blooah and Herzog will be the only;“civilized” people in Nimiah. They'will return to the University in 1931. j ART OF MIDDLEAGES COMPOSESRARE EXHIBITION(Continued from page 1)century, and includes among thecopies seven “leaves” from the fam¬ous “Book of Kells,” an ancient Cel¬tic manuscript.The other part of the exhibit is,comprised of original manuscripts of Igreat value, from the eleventh to the jsixteenth centuries, representing the jwork of English, Flemish, French, IDutch, Bohemian, Spanish, Celtic, jGerman, and Italian artists. The |subjects are of course either Biblical jor from religious books of devotion, jbut the designs contain many whim- isical and humorous elements, as in IGothic art, showing the relations and \conflicts between the so-called spirit-1ual and natural worlds.The internationalization of the art jof the Middle Ages is the great jmonument of the mingling of the jByzantine influences from the east |with that which Irish monks brought |over to the continent, and the peculiar jforms of Celtic ornament formed in jGermany as early as the sixth cen- itury. IIn connection with this exhibit, j for which we are deeply indebtedto Hr. Ricketts, Dr. John Shapley,director of the Institute of Fine Artsof the University, will deliver an il¬lustrated lecture Monday evening at8:15 on “.Medieval Illumination.”Professor Shapley has come to theUniversity this year as the chairmanof the department of art, and he isgiving in the winter quarter, a courseon “Medieval art.” Every oppor¬tunity will be given to those inter¬ested in the subject to pursue thestudy.There are many things in commonin the art of the Middle Ages andthe so-called “modern, art.” It is'the spirit of our times to discoverthe unity as well as the differencesin the history of all times, and inno field as well as in that of artcan the thought and customs of peo¬ples be observed.The exhibition will be open dailyfrom 2 to 5, January 6 to 18, in¬cluding Sundays.
