WILSON“Fire flowers, glass chrysanthe¬mums, roses bursting in the air” . . .and Carl Sandburg began to paintword pictures for an audience which1 listened while he progressed throughI three moods, that of philosopher,poet, and finally musician,i Sandburg is an American through' and through and a poet who ex¬presses the tempo of modern Ameri¬can life. He spoke of people likeHenry James, James McNeil Whist-i ler and Ezra Pound, who mourn thatwe don’t have traditions like othercountries, and who become expatri¬ates so that they may live in coun¬tries steeped in history and culture! of past ages.' “Perhaps we are tooj young for them; perhaps they are! too old for us”, is his answer.Europe mingles fear with disap¬probation as she mourns over ourI lack of respect for her traditioni,, Sandburg feels. In reverential tones1 she tells us of her accumulations ofi culture and how we are threatening^ them through our moving pictures.But they are too old to understand^ what we are about; we are too youngto understand their language.! And philosophizing on w’hat is cul-' ture or what is art, Sandburg saysthat “What is Art?” is a questionFollowing their marriage, Mr. and j.Mrs. George S. Goodspeed went to ,Sonora, California, an old mining \town. From there, Mr. Goodspeed jwa.s called to the pa.storate in Spring- Ifield, Ma.ss.. where their son, Thomas |Hariier (named in honor of William;Kaney Harper, first president of the 'I'niversity), was born. Mr. Good- ■>lH‘ed then studied for his doctorate ;at .New Haven and completed his de- icree under President Harper atYale. .\ year was .spent abroad, andthe couple then came to Chicago inwhen George Goodspeed beganteaching here in the University.Fpon his death in 190.5 he was pro¬fessor of comparative religions andancient hi.story, and University Re¬corder.Came to Ida Noye* in 1906The next years Mrs. Goodspeed'pent in Providence, and with herson in California. With the erectionof Ida Noyes hall in 1916, PresidentHenry Pratt Judson, an intimatefriend of the Goodspeed’s, nomin¬ated Tier for the directorship of theclubhouse—the first of its kind everprovided for University women—andshe arrived to take charge whilepacking boxes still occupied thefoyer. Since that time Mr.s. Good-speed has created a standard which Louis R, Gottschalk of the Historydepartment under the auspices of theSocial Science Division. One lecturefrom each series will be given everyweek on successive days at 3:30 inthe Social Science assembly room.Profes.sor Dodd opens the serieson January 12, with a discussion of“.Abraham Lincoln and the Problemof 1865,” as a sub-head under hisgeneral topic of “Reconstruction,North and South, Social Disintegra¬tion and Sectional Solidarity, 1865-77.” TRe following afternoon. Pro¬fessor Radcliffe-Brown will open hislecture series on “Social Integra- itiun”. Associate Professor Gotts¬chalk will lecture January 14 on“Revolutionary Origins of Modern jF'rance”. .All lectures will be con- 'tinned on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and 'Thursdays for the following nineconsecutive weeks.The series are being inauguratedfor the benefit of graduate studentswho desire additional or review workon these various subjects. Registra¬tion will be limited to the seatingspace in Social Science and admis¬sion will be by ticket only. Applia-tion for tickets may be made on iFriday in Social Science 101. The !majority of tickets will be reserved jfor members of the faculty and for which runs back to another, “Whatis worth looking it? What is worthlistening to?” The answer to theseis the answer to a definition of cul¬ ture of education, and of art. iAs a poet, Sandburg appeared to ;his University audience last night as ;an integral part of American life— jespecially midwestern. He favored jthe listeners with a group of new ipoetry which he has just completed jand has not yet published. iSandburg’s ability as a poet comes ,in his ability to charm his audience, j.And so, la.st night, some of the pieces Ithat will fare well with many of his jreaders failed to go over with all ipresent. Several times, however, the ifeelings became so pronounced that Ihe was rewarded with applause. '“Two Commentaries on Humpty jDumpty” was an especially well-done |piece.In “Feet and Fins”, “Swell Peo- )pie”, “Dreamy Fool”, and “Our jHells” the touch is deft, the subjects ;slight and the result good.. In one ^short poem, “Jungle Shadows”, jSandburg characterized the greatwest side to perfection. He displayed |the power which makes the reader *or listener actually picture in his own ^mind what Sandburg is portraying in iwords.Sandburg proceeded to sing some jsongs from his “.American Songbag” ,to his own accompaniment on the |guitar—an employment which plea.sesthe ear and makes the listener appre¬ciate the wealth of background avail¬able in the young country of Amer¬ica.

The most distingushed persons ;become more revolutionary as they grow older. . . Any person under the age of thirty who, hav¬ing any knowledge of the existing social order, is! not a revolutionist, is an inferior. —Bernardj Shaw.The eminent Mr. Shaw, who has somewhat Ii outlived the epithet of “revolutionist ’ admits that 'I the qualities that make up the revolutionist in his 'j youth will almost invariably make him successful i' in later life. Possibly no one of our generation 'j has more right to call himself a revolutionist and' a success than the intrepid M*’. Shaw. However, j' We have our doubts as to the efficacy of advising j' all those under thirty to become revolutionists in; order to achieve success.The fact cannot be discounted that many of; those who become successful started out as revo-: lutionists. But there is the other extreme whichtoo, is rather obvious, that many of those who be¬gin as radicals end up as something which mightbe termed unsuccessful. And many of the latterend up as staid conservatives. But we cannot be¬lieve that simply finding fault with the social orderi will produce a success. We hardly believe thatj mere destructive criticism will produce the desiredresults. Almost anybody can do that.

The claim raises a question worthy of ’thought.We are a generation brought up on the phil-1osophy of the essential nobility of a rise to prom- Iinence from a humble origin. Men refer to them¬selves proudly as being self-made individuals; oftwo students of the same educational achieve¬ments but differing social standing, the one whohas had fewer advantages and comes from a homeof more modest means is likely to get the greaterrespect. At the University we have heard theaccusation that students are making a “countryclub" of an institution of higher education lessfrequently than it has been heard elsewhere, butthere is, even here, a fringe of students who at¬tend the University apparently, solely for thepurpose of sliding past in academic work andhaving as good a time as possible for as long asthe University Recorder lets them stay.There is also, conceivably, a small numberof students who are so involved in working fortheir daily bread that they are unable to makefull use of the advantages which the Universityhas to offer them. In this connection, figures ob¬tained last year in a questionnaire submitted to athousand freshmen and sophomores by the officeof the Dean of Students may prove interesting.Of a total of 1084 who answered, only two saidthat outside work interfered with their Universitywork. Twenty-eight more confessed that they“were working too much to be able to do theirbest in the University.” Only 173 more studentsclaimed to work regularly for self-support. 635 ofthe 1084 students were doing no outside work ,whatever.These figures seem to point conclusively to theconclusion that far fewer students are really con¬tributing to their support at the University thanis generally supposed, and that our danger, if any,from “educational hitch-hikers” must be small.By and large, however, it is safe to say that thestudent who works for his education is definitely |not a drawback to the University. It is also our !opinion that there is nothing tremendously fine Iand noble about earning one’s education; it is jpossible, though it has never been proved, that |the student who works for his degree may ap- ipreciate and realize the opportunities afforded |by a University education to a greater degree than |does the undergraduate supported by his family.And most of the students successfully direct theircollege career between the Scylla of too muchwork and the Charydbis of too much play.—L.N.

You |couldn’t find a busier center trio |than Chase, Rush and Swett, evenin the Seventh Avenue Subway at>ix o’clock.“Hammer at left tackle knocks theenemy silly and Mingle, on theother .<i(le of the line, is right in themiddle of every play“Mhen it comes to recovering afumble.

Practice in preparationfor the first meet scheduled forJanuary 16, with Iowa State Teach¬ers’ college, will start immediatelyafter Chri.stmas, Coach Vorres an¬nounced.Two veterans from last year re¬turn in the 118 pound division.Lewis wrestled at this weight untilhis arm was broken at Penn State.Press also wrestled, but suffered afractured rib.Zuchowski is the only candidatefor the 126 pound w-eight, but it isdoubtful whether he will be able tomake up his ineligibility before theseason starts. If this is true, one ofthe 118 pounders will probably bemoved up to this weight.Todhunter, regular 135 poundwrestler will be lost to the team thisyear because of an injury receivedthis summer. Brown, Dooley, andSherre have been out for fall prac¬tice In this weight. The most likelycandidate for the team is Sherre,who wrestled at 126 pounds lastyear.White, Henning, Bob Howard, andBion Howard will be wrestling inthe 145 pound division. The first twomen mentioned are sophomores andwill be wrestling for the first timeon the varsity squad. Bill Dyer, con¬ference champion in this weight, waslost through graduation.Heide, Hubbard, Bargeman, Sah-lin, and Mercier make up the 155pound class. Sahlin, a football man,will be wre.stling for the first time,while all the others with the excep¬tion of Hubbard are sophomores.Ray Zenner, another football man,will be back at 165 pounds. Horn,and Bamberger, promising sopho¬mores are also wrestling at thisweight. In this weight as wellthe two above it there is a decided*lack of material. Captain Carl Gabeland Shapiro will be back in eitherthe 175 pound or heavy weight di¬vision. Rennecker, a sophomore willalso be wrestling in the heavyweightdivision, as will Spearing, tackle onthe football team.V’arsity practice will be held reg¬ularly at 4, every day in the Weststands.

C. StationOpen Tues. and Sat. Evenings The new field house will be readyfor the opening of the Interschol¬astic basketball tournament on De¬cember 28—maybe. Officials of theBuildings and Grounds department,Alonzo Stagg Jr., and the superin¬tendent in charge of constructionagreed yesterday that if all the un¬certainties involved in equipping thebuilding turned out favorably, thebuilding might be ready by Decem¬ber 28.What remains to be accomplishedbetween now and the Monday onwhich the Interscholastic tourna¬ment is scheduled to start is, brief¬ly: spreading a coating of wet clayevenly, six inches deep over the westinterior; installing twelve heatingunits high up among the girders;rolling the floor—after the warmthfrom the heating units has partiallydried the clay; laying the basketballfloor (which has already been built);sanding and oiling it; and erectingthe standards which support thebaskets.The basketball floor, by the way,is 62 feet wide by 110 long, with a playing surface 42 feet by 90, thewhole constructed of edgegrain fir.Between games, the practice bask¬ets, four of them, are set into spe¬cially constructed sockets along theedges of the floor. The two endbaskets will dangle from structuralsteel supports which project twelvefeet out over the floor, while the sidehoops protrude only four feet.Out of season, of course, the bask¬etball floor will be removed andstacked up in a dry basement, whilethe clay surface is subdivided intoa baseball diamond, tennis courts,and an eight lap track. Constant har¬rowing on the part of Jimmy Tuo-hig’s crew will be necessary to keepthe track and diamond from becom¬ing hard-packed and cement-like,while constant rolling will be essen¬tial to the playing qualities of thetennis courts.Even during basketball season,most of these activities will be inswing, and in addition, a winterquarter class in football will prob¬ably hold its sessions in the Field-house.

And surely theUniversity co-ed with her look ofbliss and innocence, with her imma- iture idea that the height of sophistication is a cigarette and the Ballyhoo, which of course creates a yawnin the truly blase, can not be an in¬spiration to very high heights.And this attitude is entering eventhe graduate division, mostly in the .French field. But that is to be ex-pected.In over six weeks, not even fiveletters have been printed by TheDaily Maroon. This is deplorableand shows a weak, take-it-for-grant-ed, self-satisfied, short-visioned atti¬tude on the part of the student body.Such a student group is not a creditto an enlightened, progressive uni¬versity. Is this provincialism, phil¬istinism, and apathy characteristic ofall western institutions? Or is it pos¬sible that The Daily Maroon fears toprint all the letters it receives evenif they are authentically signed?With malice toward none and jus-tice to all,rne Spectator.UNUSUAL XMAS GIFTSNandmadr Persian Filiirree BraceletsSilver Cigarette BoxesHandwoven Silk Handkerchiefs |DIRECT FROM PERSIA jMostofa Abbassi j5721 Kenwood Midway 7711Student PricesGiFTS FOR MENPIPESTOBACCOCIGARSCOWHEY’S55th at ELLISONE MORESHOPPING WEEKGaily Colored Sweaters$2.95Wool Skirts to Match$2.95 TODAYon theQuadranglesappears in every issue ofThe Daily MaroonConsult this column and read itsOfficial Notices; Meetings ofClubs, Ruling Bodies and Com¬mittees; Lecture and Program an¬nouncements; Department Noticesand Social Events.Supplement your routine classprogram by attendance at culturaland interesting campus lectures orentertainments announced daily inthis — our “Campus Crier.”Use “Today on the Quad¬rangles” to call the attention ofyour club or team members to im¬pending meetings or events whichthey must attend.12:30—Phi Kappa Psi12:40—Phi Kappa Sigma12:.“0—Phi Pi Phi1:00—Phi Sigma Delta1:10—Alpha Tau Omega BUNNY FROCKS1331 E. 55th St.
