fac-i ulty made the initial comments con-I coining the experiment, the opinionseemed to be that experimenting to¬wards a more efficient system is agood thing, but that an abruptchange is not possible.tom p: cross, professor of englishand comparative literature, believesthat the experiment is a good thing,since there are inconsistencies inour writing and punctuation, how¬ever, he has seen omission of cap¬ital letters on a smaller scale ineurope, and does not believe anabrupt change should be made, al¬though an experiment on a largerscale might make possible a morereliable study of the system.harry hoijer, instructor in an¬thropology who concentrates on lin¬guistics, sees such a field of tradi¬tion in these matters that he doubtsthe efficacy of a change, even if thechange were rationally advantageous,hoijer points out that there is a cer¬tain amount of art in printing, as il¬lustrated by u.se of different typesof print, which might provide a goodexcuse for use of capital letters inspite of the irrational method oftheir entrance into our writing sys¬ tem.arthur pearson scott, associateprofessor of history, also doubts thepossibility of changing the presenttradition-of using capital letters, hebelieves that if capitals ai’e economically wasteful, there is no’ objec¬tion to trying to omit them.harvey b. lemon, professor ofphysics, stated that he did not seehow the

I refer to the way inwhich certain terms, when capi¬talized, become particular andspecific, whereas otherwise theystand for more geneial and ab¬stract things, without any capi¬tals, it would often be necessaryto explain parenthetically justwhat the writer was referring to,a situation manifestly not desir¬able in ordinary newspapers orbooks for rapid reading, this isfrecjuently neces.sary in teletypewire service, which is run entire¬ly in capitals.5. while i cannot offer any¬thing approaching a technicalopinion on the subject, i can sayquite definitely for myself thatthe elimination of capitals makesreading, especially of small type,a much greater strain on the eyes,granted that it is partly a que.s-tion of conditioning oneself to it,but not entirely so. in reading,the eye invariably wanders ahead,and the combination of a period and succeeding cajrital letter in¬forms one that he is coming tothe end of a sentence, the mentalprocesses are adjusted according¬ly. i certainly do not think that aperiod alone is a large enoughsymbol to attract one’s attentionand make possible such a quicktreatment, “e. c. f. ’ seems to ad¬vocate leaving more space be¬tween sentences as a remedy, andwhile this might helj), I cannotI see what positive advantages it; offers over the present use of cap¬itals. it certainly involves just asj great a “waste” of time, space,and materials.I 6. capitals can be used for pur-I poses of stylization, they can beI eliminated in certain places (butI not entirely), and thus be usedj effectively in impressionistic writ-j ing.!So much for what I have tosay in support of the utility in' capitals, if they have utility, then! obviously the other arguments! against them will not hold water.I the whole idea and campaigni seems to me to be the result of afaulty analysis.perhaps the mildest word thati can think of to describe the ideais “trivial.” if we are going to im¬prove and simplify the english lan¬guage, let’s .start someplace whereit might do some good, the tribunehas indicated one place in its cam¬paign for simplified spelling, an¬other spot of attack might be adrive for parallel spelling of wordssimilarly pronounced, and viceversa.perhaps, i, too, am being triv¬ial in even bothering to writeabout it. the only explanation thati can give is that i regret to seethe maroon waste both time andspace on an issue so petty and sononsensical. england buriesking george vsix rulers head funeralprocession as worldmourns emperor. guMivergoes the daily maroon one worseand leaves out everything(continued from page 1)form, walked alone behind the cas¬ket. then came his three brother.s,the dukes of york, gloucester andkent, followed in turn by the kingsof belgium, norway, denmark, rou-mania and bulgaria, also on foot.next marched representatives ofrepublican nations, lesser royaltyand a host of high diplomatic, mili¬tary and naval dignitaries.queen mary, the queen of norway,the princess royal and other royalwomen rode in carriages, eachdrawn by six matched horses.a nine-coach funeral train borethe coffin and principal mourners toWindsor, where a second processionwended its way to the gi*ay walls ofWindsor castle, where lie buried kinggeorge’s forefathers.king edward and queen mary ledthe procession into the chapel, shebore herself well, with the regal dig¬nitary so much a part of her. neverbreaking, when the coffin was plac¬ed on the bier in the chapel, she didnot move a muscle, she seemedslightly irritated at the numerousdelays.king edward, on the othej- hand,was obviously agitated and duringthe singing of “abide with me.” kinggeorge’s favorite hymn, he shiftednervously from foot to foot, he bow¬ed his head in emotion, then laisedit to glance at his mother and seeif she was all right.(Ihp Saily iHaruuuFOUNDED IN 1901MemberUnited Press AssociationAssociated Collegiate PressThe Daily Maroon is the nfTicial studentnewspaiwr of the University of Chicairo,publisned mornings except Saturday, Sun¬day, and Monday during the autumn.winU./, and spring quarters by The DailyMaroon Company, 5831 University avenue.Telephones: Local 46 and Hyde Park 9221and 9222.The University of Chicago assumes noresponsibility for any statements appear¬ing in The Daily M.iroon, or for any con¬tract entered into by The Daily Maroon.All opinions in The Daily Maroon arestudent opinions, and are not necessarilythe views of the University administra¬tion.The Daily Maroon expressly reservesthe right.s of publication of any materialappearing in this paper.

In contrasting the twouniversities, oxford and Chicago, hesaid, “the chief difference is that atoxford you feel the i)Ower and gripof the institution until you adai)t yourself to it and become identifiedwith it, while here, because of thenewness of the institution, there isroom for the individual to impose theforce of his personality on his sur¬roundings.” in other words, the eng-lish university is a way of life, whilehere we have a mei'e academic cen¬ter. he pointed out that this mayhave both advantages and weakness¬es.one thing that the english student I quickly notices, lipson pointed out,is the attitude of mutual suspicionthat prevails in this country, as ex¬emplified in locked doors, and lock¬ed mail boxes, however this dv)es notprevent the britishers from findingthis a pleasant country in which tolive.other britishers in brief: johnWhiteside, a scot studying physics,whose hobby is folk-dancing; kath-arine thornburgh, now here for hersecond year, one of the most pop¬ular of international house social¬ites; leonard greatwood, graduate inphilosophy, d. wenzel brow’n, graduate in education; and Catherinemaegibbon, the lone new zealandei’,who came half way around the worldto .study “home” economics. clinics show increasein number of patientsthe number of people coming intothe out-patient department of theuniversity clinics has shown large in¬creases annually since 1927 when theclinic opened its doors, the clinic isnow under* the directorship of dr.arthur c. bachmeyer, who was ap¬pointed to this position at the bogrn-ning of the academic year.in 1929, 60,000 patients w'eretreated in the clinic, in 1930, 88,000patients were taken care of while in1931 this number rose to 116,000patients, this increase was due inpart to the openirrg of the lying-inhospital and the bobs roberts hospi¬ tal for children, there was anotherlarge increase with the opening ofthe orthopedic hospital in 1932.CLASSIFIED ADSFOR RENT.
