LECTURES BEFORE SCIENTIFIC CLUB

Evolution Is Topic of Discussion

On the evening of January 7, Dr. George P. Mulvaney, c. s. v., c haplain and professor of philosophy a t Inca.rnate Word College, A lamo Heights, T exa s . spoke in a brillian t m anner for two hours befor e the larges t audience that the San Antonio Scientific Club has had attending its splendid series of lectures during the present season. The sub­ject treated by Father Mulvaney wo.s the "Philosophic Solution of Cosmic Evolution". In clea 1·, direct forceful manner he exposed the three theoriE:s that attempt to explain the evolution of the world. Atomism or Mechanism was treated first. This theory was criticised and r ejected by the speaker. Dynamism or the Theory of Force was lil{ewise explained and proven defective. Doctor Mulvaney showed how the for­mer leads to materialism and the latter to pantheism. The third theory ali· v ::tnced, and accepted, by the lecturer and which is in harmony with modern science is not othe r tha n t he theory of Aristotle and the Schoolmen of Medie­val times-namely, t he t heory of Hylo­morphism "Matter and Form" theory.

Having exposed these theories. the lecturer tool{ up the question - of the origin of the "\vorld and s howed in no uncertain way that if we a re reason­able men, men possessed of intellect, we mus t come to acknowledge a Prime Designer.

His lecture showed the inconsistency ot the theory of Herbert Spencer. \Ve hope that he shall again take t h e stand in Texas and carry on with renewed force in the fight that he has so valiently started in the exposition of philosophical fallacies.

VIA TOR EXTENSION CLUB IS ACTIVE

Meeting Held Recently In Chi­cago

_The Directors of the V iator Exten­siOn Club are holding a series of meet­ings in Chicago. On J a nuary 19th they met a t a luncheon at ~farshall Field's G_rm and elected as officers, John R. ? Co11nor, chairman; Joseph A. Bolger, 23, secretary; Rev. J. P. O'Mahonev

'01, treasurer. These three officer~· with Dr. Vincent Marzano and Thoma; L eroy \Varner, '10, constitute the ex­ecutive committee o! the Board ~f Directors.

To formulate plans :for the establish­ing of a College Endowment this body has called into meeting with them 'the Chicago officers of the Alumni Asso­ciation. At two joint mee tings, held at t:1e Illinois Athletic Club, a very p rac­tlcal plan was discussed, but before taking final action on it Fr. O'Ma honey has been instructed to consult other m embers of the Alumni in val"ious dis­tricts of Illinois. If adopted, we w ill publish this p lan in a ll its de tails in :.1

COLLEGE CLUB' NOTES

The seventh r egular m eeting of the College Club was held a t the usu!l.l meeting place on :Monday evening, F eb. 7th. President Dalrymple was in charge of the meeting.

Many Important affairs were pre­sented for the consideration of the members of the Club. Chief among them was the Junior Dance. A Unanimou~ pledge of support w as given by the College Club assuring t he Juniors that e~ch member would do everything ln h1s power to make the event a success. Methods of entertaining the g u es ts in the e vent of a basketba ll gam e with Millikin that night, were discussed nnd referred to t he class g iving the dancf!.

A report on the progress made on the Club rooms revealed that they \Yould be r eady for occupa n cy ver y soon .

Mr. \""~l'arren McClella nd, speaking for the debaters, thanked the m ember s or the College Club, and t he Juniors es­pecially, for their cooperation and aid in providing tor the expenses ot the teams . He also extended a n in\· itation to attend the debate which the two representative teams presented beCore the Catholic Women's League in J oliet. on Tuesday evening.

i.\Ir. Arthur Armbruste r entertained the motion for adjournment. The motion was seconded by :\1r. J ohn Benda.

PLANS COMPLETED FOR JUNIOR DANCE

Secor's From Bloomington to Fur­nish Music

After much deliberation a nd discu s­sion, the Junior class an no unces thu.t they have every available m eans pre­pared to insure one and a ll a frolicksome and g leeful time at their dance on the night of the 21st. Various committeP.s have been appointed to take care of all details connected with the dance and every possible precaution is being taken to forestall any emergency that may a rise. As this will be the last College social affair before the Lenten season and as many al umni h ave indi­cated their intention of being present, the Juniors are full of enthusiasm in anticipation of a large and merry c rowd.

If a nyone has not hea rd or heard of Secor's Orchestra, he will have a chance to do so at the dance. This orchestra is one of the few that r eceived r ecogni­tion and praise in the con test h eld by the Saturday Evening Post and cer­tainly the members of th is seven-piece wonder will do everything possible to enhance their reputation while here. Besides guaranteeing to make one's blood reel and dance through on0's v e ins, they also promise to throw the house into an uproa1· of laughter by thei r much reputed c lown acts. The members of the orchestra who hail from Bloomington are former College­m e n a nd are at present furnishing music for weekly frat dances a t the U . of I. If the music they furnish does not fill one with elan, the person in question will be anything but normal.

The dance will be given in the College gymnasium , the floor of which aitor the recent refinishing a nd sanding has been r ated as one of the smoothest of a ll gym floors. Further labor will be extended upon it to r ender it fit for the coming dance. for the coming dance . N o one will possibly find fault with it. Plans call for much decoration whose motif will possess a truly Collegiate spirit.

As has been already announced, the entire proceeds of the dance will be offered to Father Maguire to aid him in r epresenting St. Viator College with two debating tea m s. W it h such ~

purpose in mind the Junior Class feels assured that it will rece ive the backing of the en tire student body and sincer ely hopes that everyone will willingly an11 hearti ly respond by buying tickets and offering othe r help. ri'he College Club is sponsoring the dance a nd has pledged its unstinted aid.

The usual price of $1.50 will be charged for admittance. Besides re­ceiving every red penny back in fun an1l m erriment, everyone can f eel that h e has granted his share toward the suc· cess of the debating teams. Tickets can be procured from any m ember of the Junior Class at any time and in any place. Buy a ticket and join the big para de to the Junior Dance. It's t he best investment on the market.

NAT'L CATHOLIC TOURNEY IS SET

FOR MARCH 17 Fourth Annual Meet to Be Staged

at Loyola Gym

The Board of Directors of Loyola University has decided to hold the Fourth National Catholic Basketball Tournament on March 17, 18, 19 , and 20. T eams from the leading Catholic Pre p schools throug hout t h e country are expected to demons trate thei r ability by competing for the Cardinal Munde­lein cup.

With the r egular court season now drawing to a close , man y preliminary tournaments are being held to dete r­mine the teams which shal l be allowed to compete in the race for nation..'l.l hon or s. The Central States Prep Tournament will be held a t St. Am­brose College in Davenport, Ia. The Northwest States Prep Tourna ment will be held at St. Thomas Colleg, St. Paul, Minn. The Kansas State Tournament will be held at St. Mary's College, St. Mary's Kansas. For the first time s ince the inauguration o! the National mee t , a representative team from New York state will compete.

It will be remembered t hat St. Viator Academy was rated as one of the leading teams to compete fo1· the Cup In the meet last year and it happened that St. Xavier's H. S., from Louis­ville, ultimate winners of the meet, were forced to expend their greatest efforts in eliminating the Academy from their path to victory. However, the official judges had seen sufficient work of the Academy to warrant their selec­tion of Eddie Campbell as "All -Tourna­ment" guard. The record of Coach Barrett's proteges thus far this season ~eeu1s to indicate that they will again be among the logical contenders !or the title of National Catholic Prep champs.

FEBRUARY

F ebruary is a month of unusual s ig nifican ce to th e A merican

public. It is the month that commemora tes the birthdays of two o f the most prominent and r esp ected public men in the history of

our Nation: Washing ton, our first President, a nd Lincoln , the Eman­cipator. W e like to recall the former for h avin g typifi ed the spirit

tha t a nima t ed the ea rly founders of o ur great R epublic; and we think the la tte r as the o ne w ho purged our great n ew la nd from the

blight of oppressio n a nd slavery. It is commendable that the great masses of A m erican people

set apart these two days in w hich to· h onor the m emory of such

illustrous men. It expresses a certain kind of idealism-and a Na­

tion without idea ls is a Nation of hypocrites. Y e t there is a danger in idealizing if it is a llowed to carry th e individua l b eyond the usual

bounds of discretion. This accusation is deserved by those who

would m ake demigods of Washing to n a nd Lincoln. This is id eal­

ism ca rri ed to the point of folly. W e b eli eve in a sane and rational respect for these men who

have disting uished themselves so eminently in sh a ping our Common­

wealth, but we must n o t forget that they are men, a nd a ny attemp t

to p lace th em in the ranks of the god s savo rs of the rashness of

aniquity. History tells us of the vainty of certain Roma n dig nitaries

who called th emselves gods, but w h o can accuse the two m en w hose

birthdays we celebrate this month of any similar desire? Mor e absurd then is the tend ency of pos terity to elevate them to this rank.

We must esteem their memory as men of g reat a nd noble achieve­ments, 'men possessed of unusual talent, but witha l we must bear

firmly in mind 'th a t they were only men for a' tha t.

IT CAN'T BE DONE

The r e is one very g reat proble m that every small college or

university is being confronted with at the present time, a nd it is important because of the injustice it works toward the small college,

especially in its a thletic relations. The Freshman Rul e will n ot work

in the small coll ege and there are many substantia l reason to support this contention. Firs t there is the difficulty that results from a small

enrollment of students. A coach in a small college finds that it

would be almost a n impossibility to develop representative teams if he were limited to a choice of three-year4 men. He must rely

greatly on promising Freshmen for his r eserve material, and very often th ere a re new men reporting to him who d evelop into import­ant cogs in an athle tic team during their first year. Then again, a small coll ege d o·es not get sufficient publicity to warrant the im­position o f the Freshman Rule. Anyone who is intimaely connected with this phase of small colleges a pprecia tes th e seri ousness of this contention. It doesn't work any tremendous h a rdship on coll eges tha can secure e ig h ty or a hundred available and eligible men as material for a varsity football team to impose a three-year rule on it, but the situation is decided ly reversed when considering its small­er riva l.

CAMPUS BRIEFS

One of the indoor sports in which ce rtain faculty members have· recently become quite ardent participants is bow)ing. In :tact during the short free­time periods after meals, the casu al obser ver, lookin g in at the bowling alley department of the new gym , will find these men r egularly and eagerly e n gaged in the k een est sort of compe­tition. While they a ll seem to be p rogressing rapidly toward the profes­sional stage in this particular kind of recreation, and while some have th!J ball so unde r cont rol that w ith them the' game has a lmost b ecome an art. still others a r e not so sure of ann, or str aight of eye . For very ofte n the ball finds t he pit by way of the gutter. F a t he r s Maguire a nd Lowney seem to be leading the quinte t , the a verage of the form er ranging from 105 to 170, while the latter totals anywhere from 90 to 180 points. Father Cardinal is not so bad !or an amateur with 80 to 140 average to his credit. Professors Perez and E llis are a blt m ore fluct­tuating in their s cores. Prof. P e r ez u s u a lly chalks up a n y numbe r between 50 and 142, while Mr. Ellis averages somewh ere b e tween 65 and 12 5. So fa r their enthus iastic indulgence tn the sport h as b ee n interesting a nd we anxiously await t he ir results o! the season's prac tice whic h we hope will end up in a forma l tournament.

Anyone wishing a g enuine thrill with a ll the pitfa11s a nd creepy feelings of n octu rna l guard duty on a n undisturbed sector of some ba ttlefront in Flanders, just foBow Professor Harrington ant'l Rudolph Steubenvoll on one of the ir coon hunting expeditions. Lonliness of night, expos ure to damp, chilly blasts, stumbling ove r ditches, skinning one 's shins aga inst t r ee stumps, f ever ed expecta n c y of s om e hidden da nger and all the m a ny things which make the solitary life of no-man 's-land so p eace­able are experie n ced. The one g reat diffe r ence is t hat ins tead of t h e crac k of a rifl e , a dog in this ins ta nce routs the enemy from his la ir. Try it some time. It Is g ood for the n erves.

small college or universi ty when it a ttempts t o complete a sch edul e of games in a ny particular branch of sports.

Some time ago an article appeared in the Crystal-Gazer of this paper written by a co llege student in appreciation of the fine new gymna~ium which h as been recently opened to the students as a recrea tiOn cent~r. The auth o r of th e a rticl e inquired if there was not some way !n w hich t h e students could show their apprecia tion to the a uthonties of the sch oo l for having been so zealous in the con summuation of t h e extensiv e bu ilding pro ject that was launched last year: W~ believe that the most a dequate and commensurate m~nner m w h1 ch the students could manifest their g ratitude is by b em g careful to observe the rul es that have b een made con cernin g the1~ c~n~uct 10 th e gym.

Efforts of Former Viator Man Featured by Local Paper

Editor's Note- R eprint from Bloomington Bulletin .

B loomington, Itl.,-The rise of St. 1\fa.r y's hig h school to a dominant pos i· tion in B loomington athletic ci r cles Is the stor y of a hear t·bt•eak in g fig h t against a pparently insupe nLble ~ odds;

and woven into that tale of sucrlf ice, of Jnge n uity, of superb athletic talent is the simple yet Inspiring r eci tal of t h e achievements of Father T. E. S hea, the one·man athletic department , boanl of control, treasurer and gener a l over· seer of. this sch ool of 87 male students w hich has climbed t o the front rani{ a m ong the four hig h schools that battlu for s upremacy on t h e gridiron, the diamond, the track a nd the cage court.

Three years ago St. Mary's bad n grout~ of d isorganized boys whose ath· letic endeavors ran toward the 'sand Lot' or 'prairie' variety w ith a li beral splattering of fl st·flgbts and perhaps hair pul ling. 'l'oday t his relatively small h igh school Is on even ter ms of competition with three larger high schools and has achieved a mastery in footba ll, superiority in basketball, dominance in baseball and a small but promising sta1·t In track.

And that without a n athletic fund, a playing fi eld of their own, a full time coach or any of the other specialized and artistic adornments t h a t mark the athletic endeavors of the conventiona lly successful institution. It's the boys, of course, who provide the brawn a nd the energy, the playing sldll and the talent to achieve this rise from obscurity to local fam e but it's something more than t hat when one considers t h e fin ancial wizardy and the managerial sagaci ty of the on e who engineered this th ing a n d that to make aU t hings work s moothly.

Since those days back in 1924 w hen Clement Costigan , a St. V iator college athlete, volunteered to take over foot· ball as his share in giving St. Mary's a badly needed athletic program, much of the way has been paved and smoothed. Now a species of parish backing has been obtainetd and some m easures of public support has been gain ed. Loyal parishoners who have appreciated the manifold a dva ntages of a discreetly planned athletic program have aided immensely and the gracious· ness of a pastor who has sensed the value of athletics in his hig h school , have been paramount factors in making athletics more of a stable and secure t hing t han It was when the first, fa lter· star t was made.

As Father Shea has gained adherants. organized his department, shaped a de· finite pla n , completed his program, a correspOnding advan ce has been made in the matter of athletic success. The past fa ll the eleven won sL""'\: games and lost one, 7 to 10.

VVIth ln that apace of time the St. Viator olflclals, with the same spirit of com-age and loyalty t hat has been charactetistic of. the men of Viator s in ce. the sixth day of September, 1865 when the cry "The Brothers are Com: ing" rang through the viUage of Bour · bonnais, a wondertul ath letic buildJng has been planned, built and dedicated.

WONDERFUL FLOOH St. Viator men in whose hands rested

the planning of t•he fine building, did not make the mistake so many have made where it would do the most good to in arranging a like bulldlng. That is, they spent their money on the inside, where it wou ld the most good to the m en and boys of the little denom­inational school in the French settle· ment of Bourbon nais just a few miles outside the city of Kankakee.

The new gymnasium is 140 feet by 180 and is constructed or vari-colored glazed til e, brick and cut stone, built. around a frame of structural steel.

The main building houses a playing floor of 100 fee t by 92 !eet and will permit the playing of two inter·class games at the same time. There is ample space for demountable bleach· ers that can be lowered to the ba.se­~ent by simply raising up a large trap door. The floor is of w hite pine laid over a concrete surface with air spaces to provide greater resiliency.

RECREATION HOOM Plenty of light is a.fforded in the main

gym through side windows and mechan· ically operated sky Ughts. Around the wall of the gymnasium is suspended a modern running track banked at the turns for the use of the track men. The flooring- of this track is hard wood w ith a cork. The gallery is also p ro-· -dded with a motion picture booth wherein features will be shown for en· tertainment d uring the winter months. Built around the main floor are variou s rooms and offices in the !rent portion, including the lobby which is floored In red Quarried tHe, and which is adjoining the student club rooms, in w hich are to be found three modern bowling alleys fully equipped and furnished, five bil­liard and pool tables, as well as a soft drink fountain and a general store that wil l carry complete line of confections and other student s upplies.

Francis Thompson's Poetry By E. M. Ray '27

It Is not only dltt lcul t , but p ractlca11 y JmpoHHfbl c to ~~et up a Ktandard i n poetry tor F ra ncis •rbompson a.nd t o say tha t he holds etcadt.astl y to ?,-"Y particula r school. W e may place In · tellcc-tu.al" after Ma tthew Arnold'a name w e m ay shroud Cra.sha.w with a vet! of "mysticis m " ; or w e m ay think ot Shelley as a. J)r odu ct of the " met· aphys lcal sch ool" , but tho least we can gay tor Thorn pson Is t hat he ta a com· blna tlon ot the m ystic, the dreamer, the hlg b -pr1es t o ! son g, the m etapby· Hiclan, the pagan a m1 the Catbollc. Tha t he Is so dlfte r ent f rom o the r poe ts In tho treatment ot his subject m at ter Is proba bly the r eason t o r his com­plexiUes. AJI of h is poem s, even those "" J~ecular subject s, he treats !rom a divlne point ot v iew. They a.re so r "'rm eated with the spirit or r c11gion tha t they at~ccnd !o.r a bove the com· l'rehcnslon of man. But a s aJl t h e m ya tcrle a ot Heave n a r c not di sclosed fn full to th e huma n In tellect, so som e ot' the beauty contai ned In Thompson's poet r y must r e main h idde n from the ll[;'ht of human r eason. For, as tinlte re"aaon cannot fully understand the Infin ite mind, s o ltkewlse, becau se of t~e m ysticis m contained In Thomps on s poetry, tt ca n fa thom only a few ot the most outstanding quaUUes which make h 1m a. n ew a ncl individual Cathollc

po;rtis catholic ity Is self-evident tor In all thin gs Thompson seek s the Divine. D iv in ity for him becomes a passion to th~ exclus ion o! a ll human chara cter portraiture. In a.n examina tion of his "Love In Dian's L ap" there is .found no adcquo.te explanation or vivid picture of A llce Mey n ell . Ye t h e envelopes h e r per~onallty In some celes tial garb, w hic h leads him Into the beauties of para dise. Divested of al l earth ly m a ntle , s he be·

co.~'l_cs~edcct woman-Thine b e la ud! Her body is a Tem ple of God.''

This ts the hig h es t pra ise a ny man can g ive to woman and Is v e ry true of the woman on whom it Is b estowed. For Allee Meynell he r self placed the sacred · nes s of love beyond al l huma n worship. Likewise, Thompson sanctities love and speak s of it In the la n g uage of angels. H e sees only the sou l of an individual snd Is therefor e compelled by his very n ature to clothe a ll his hymns ot earthly love and pass ion wi th divine love and pussion. His poe try is imbued with a. su .. rch for the Divine that it becomes a philosophy with him . In fact this pre va lence de tracts from the greatness of. h is works becau se it consumes t he human element which is so necessary t o g reat poetry. By t h is I do n ot mean t hat Thompson dis r egards t h e h um an elem ent a lthogethe r, for his own pe r · sonality is ever present in des­pis ing m a t eri a l things, h e focuses aU of his a ttention on the spiritu a l and the r e· by loses complete contact ' vith the huma n . By so doing love b ecom es divine. That restraint, which is the underlying principle of the highes t kind ot love, elevates Thompson 's love t o a thing of beauteous wonderme nt. Yet in this ecstacy of vision the r e rema ins a void, difficult to fathom . The r e Ls something lacking which leaves the curious mind unsatisfied . He m editates on his vision, but h e does not s peak out fu11y a ll tha t is in his mind. For this r eason w e can n ever unders tand the man tully, but must content our ­selves with intellectual a dmiration, gazing with him on the beau tiful pic­tu r e that h e describes.

The retiring, quiet m ann e r ed, dreamy poe t of "Dia.n' s Lap" suddenly ch anges into a bold defiant thunde r e r in the "Hound o! Heaven". His r eticence now speaks in a loud voice; h e is no longe r reserved, for h e r ea lizes tha t only those w ho a lr eady believe w ill hold fa ith in what he says. Alter see king friendship in the hearts ot men in vain, he goes to nature's laws tor solace . But even they know him not. Like the "voice of one c r ying in the w ilderness" he t urns to nntm·e herselt a n d finds that a ll Is vnnity. With utter disnppolntment, yet with s upreme satisfaction h o bo\d~y a•.·C'la1ms those words o r powerful m eaning:

··Naug ht sh elter s thee, who wilt n ot shelter Me"

for he r ealizes tha t to h ave the world, it is n ecessary to have God.

There is a vivid contrast b etween Francis Thompson in "Diani":s 1 Lap" and Fra ncis Thompson in the "Hound ot Heaven". While both find peace in God, In the forme r we can never look In to the poe t's soul, tor he is careful to remain hidden unde r a flimsy veil and w e mus t content ourselves to stand n ext to him, to tou ch him, to reel his presence , but n e ver to know him. In the "Hound of H eaven" we g limpse into the very depths or Thompson 's s oul; w e n o t only feel his soul but we become par t o! his soul. W e feel wi t h him tha t indiffer e nce and insincerity of m e n toward huma n a.Uectlons. We e x­perience with him the emptiness of nature when enjoyed a s a cult in it ­self alone. \Ve s tand alon e with him when h e finds his own be trayal in t h e constanc y of the h eavenly planets ; and we rejoice with hi.m when he submits to the Divine precept "Seek ye there­t ore !lrst the klns dom of G-od a nd His j ustice and all these shall be added u nto you". No g r eat poetry m a y be o therwise . It m ust make the rea der !eel tho emotions or the poet .

In this poem Thompson becomes highly emotion a l. While his p oem tends , ln its ideals, to lead men t o better Hves, to know God and to follow Him, y et, llke Arnold, the poe t n e ver becomP.s didactic. Rather , h e ls intellectually emotional in that he sees a. flash ot light dart across the darkened sky and

feels a ray of h ope pie r ce h is s oul, r e­ducing It In to a bsolu te submission t o Christ. Ske pticism a nd despair t oo ofte n leave the artis t co ld a nd b itter . H e cannot view the world In any other

way, because he has ig nor ed the uJti · m a te cause of exis tence a nd the r e fo r e find s comfort only In tra nsitory things . We ha ve examples of these qua lities In Arnold 's "Ru gby Chape l" which a l­tho ug h con cerned with a ques tion of h u m a n destiny and borne onward by a n In ten se feeling , w e can n o t compare to Thompson because it ls a hard a nd rhe to rical ve r se. B ecau se ot his fa ith, Thom pson Infuses into h is poetry a wealt h of w a nnth. W ith son or ou s words , flashing in ric h and va ried colors, h e builds hi s lofty ideals upon a f ounJa tlon t perfect rhythm a n d h Jx­rnonJous m e lody. H is Is emotion of tl1 <: hig hes t orde r because it come B' from the inte llect workin g in perfect un ison with the heart.

But qualities of this type are not a lone found In his "Hound of H eaven" . After iirmly r·9ta blis hl ng them in this poem , Thompson rais es them to a rt is­tic perfection In h is "Ode to the Setting Sun". Ma de more vivid with added bea uty a nd s tre n gth ened by superb ima g enry, hi s inte n se fee lings, imag- ina­tions a nd Ideals .find the ir fullest out­Je t In a per tect mus ic. The "Od3 to the Setting S un " is 1ike the music asc:!nd· ing .!rom t he pipes of a perfectly tuned organ. The o1·ganis t a t firs t touches tho k eys with t h e "wailful sweetness of a vio lin ". He opens anoth er stop and the "throbbing harp begins". Sto p afte r s top brings forth the Cel lo, the vio la, the bra ss ins truments, until with beautiful m e lodies a nd perfect harmonies, a ccele rated by g radual crescendos, t he liturgy of the Church is made r esplende nt by a full organ as in the "great a m e n ".

"For thee this music waked not , 0 deceived,

It thou h ear in these thoughtless h a rmonies

A pious pha ntom of adorings reared, A nd echo of fa ir a n cient flatteries."

For we must not only hear t hese melodies but we must sense them as they a r e produced by the sunset. S uch sweetness of sound, s uc h b eauty in words transform his la n guage into a thing of majestic splendor and delicate delig ht which h as no comparison. To quote is impossible because a r eadin g of the e ntire poem is n ecessary or it~

bea uty is destroyed. But if w e t urn momentarily from the

f ield of poetry to that of r eality we observe nature h e l·self ~dorned in colors which no ar tist has ever been a ble to r eproduce accura tely . '''e often witness a g lorious s unset and marvel a t its variegated colo r s as they stretch acr oss t h e sky in ! lames of richest tints. B ut they are transitory and merely fill us with wonderment. Ruskin in his " S unset" attempted to describe this picture in words to im­mortalize it for man 's constant admira­tion. But his words are white com­pared to the force of the words of Thompson. The coloring found in Thompson 's words gives them strength as well as beauty. In penetrating words like "burning curls", "tumu lts of a firm a m ent", "thunders' volcanic" and "forces Titan ic" he describes t he sun's majesty. With co lors of p u rple and red, shaded from richest blood to the most delicate tint , the sun des ­cends l ike a "falchion's fl ash" in :::t "bubble of fire". These words certainly lend f or ce to the color which Thomp­son wishes to impress m ps t vividly upon the imagination of the reade r . But not to the eye alone is given fu ll vision of the beauties or the firmament. In order tha t the soul of man may be steeped in the utmost knowledge of the hC<;"l.venly splendors, God, in His good­n ess, endowed man with five senses by which such knowledge might be com­municated to the mind. Thompson r ecognizes this natural peculiarity anrl in a perfect co-ordination of both color and sound, he gives to the soul a deeper insight or the beauties of s u n set in these tuneful and s h a ded words:

"Thy visible music blasts mal{e deaf the s ky,

Thy cymbals clang to fire the Oc· cident,

Thou dost thy dying s o t riumphant· Iy;

I see the crimson bla r ing of thy shawns!"

The effect Thompson fails to produce by m eans ot mere sound and colo r in words are .found in his idea s, imagery and s y mboJis m . H A view~ the worlcl as an ima ge of Chris t 's glory and the g lory of tbe H eavens. H e f inds the beauty of earth in s ome way only a reflection of the beauty of Heave n . If be, like Keats, had stopped with a n obs erva tion or the transitory character­istics ot the s unset, h e could be classi­fi ed w ith K eats a s the idola tor of pagan beauty. Thompson does not stop h e re. He is more r eaective and he nce , throug h m edita tion , arrives at a deeper unde rstanding and a nobler idea of n a ture . The mystery of the earth , t o him , is the compa n ion t o the suttering ot Christ. Although h e writes a bout nature he show s from line to line in t he "Setting Sun " t h at a r t and r eligion a r e in separable associates. Be­h ind the Oamin g sun looms the s h a dow of the cr oss. It is th is symbol under­lying t he Ode t ha t g ives both life and hope e te rnal t o t he poem. A like s ym -

H e ta kes k een de­light in para din g be fore our eyes the very wealmesses that w e s eek to hide . He is a m ode rn Sanc h o Panza, a destroyer o r h e r oes , a break er of idols. Perhaps, some day during one of h is Quixotic ventures he wi ll, to o ur gratification, be broug ht t umbling down from his rostrum and huded to the level or those poor unfortunates w hom he designs to scorn .

Mencke n appear s to have a ve1-y logical mind, but the s cope of his thoug ht is limited. H e continua lly pokes fun and direc ts the flow of his sati r e a nd sar ca sm at one of three institution s , Politics, Socie ty or Govern­ment. Menoke n ve 1·y calmly proceeds to bring tuml~ling dow n about our ear s these ancient a nd dig nified foundations o r a li civilization.

H e df'st r oys but does not build, he wrecks bu t does n ot a id in the process ot r e construction. He is the poor leader of a forlorn hope , tha t wouJd save u s b y the fury of his be llowings.

For a time we a re f ascinated by the writings of M e n cl{e n and h e affo rds immense enjoyment. Howeve r. if we were to analyze ca1·efully his thought, we should find tha t h e is preaching the same ideas that he brought to light some thirty yea rs ago when he was at th€.· age of twenty. 1Ve gather a r ou n d Mencken as would a g 1·oup of ·wine connoisse urs a roun d a prospective sample, but whe n the container is ope ned we find that the suposed a mb­rosia is nothing m or e tha.n v inegar a nd gall aged and sou 1·ed by a perve rted mind.

H is sc1·utiny of de tail is for nothing more t han to produce ta r gets at whic h to direct his da rts of bittern ess and sarcasm.

Mencken does not a lways confide his thoughts to partic ulars , a lt h ou g h his thought is limited. Like a true trouble­maker h e p okes and prys into d ifferent fields . His colossal self-love leads him into n ew endeavors a nd forces him to furth er em balm his mental capacity. Mencken is the most s ublime egoist of the a g e. He h a s but one h e r o, but one ideal whom he seeks to emulate. and that is himself. His h e ro-wor:ship cons ists of se lf adoration. He is t h e m c Hta l Coloss us , the inte llectual Rho~e:; who stra ddles a ll other men as a giant t owers over the Lilliputia ns who cower a t his fee t.

A CERTAIN SPEECH IN RING L EAR There Is one speech in "King Lear"

that e pitomizes for m e the glory of t he play. It is the s peech that marks the point of spiritua l c limax; It is the speech where the spiri t of L ear shows itselt a t Its greatest, a nd it is t he speech that con tain s the finest poe try (in my opinion of the play. F or t he sake of clarity let me recall it to your mind by quoting It here:

"No, no, no, no! Come, let's away to prison:

We two a lone will sing like birds i' the cage:

When thou dost ask me blessing, I'll kneel down

And ask of thee torgiveness, so we'll live,

And pray, and sing, and tell old tales, and laugh

At gilded butterflies, and hear poor r ogues

de ve lo pme nt that a poet. n nation or pla y produces its greatest poetry. And a s poe try is the flow e r o r lite , so thh:J is the fl owe r, the f ruit o r the play.-the on e. golden apple s hining In the gloomy branc hes of the dar k. s ecret t ree v t: lite. And just as we judge a poet o r a nation by its greatest poetry, so too m a y w e judge a play; for .. By thei r fruits ye shall know them".

There tore , considering this speech­the glorious fruit ot the plny,-1 can· not agree with the opinion o t: most critics that th general e ffect or this drama Is to leave one In a stn t e or utter hoplessness a nd pesalmlsm. 'Vhc n I see the human spll·i t standing up In cletiant exultation. with Its h eel upon misfortune, pover ty, Insanity, Imprison­ment and ta te, strong w ith the ser ene. joyou s consciousness o! Its o·wn great· ness, I cannot abando n my hear t to despair and de jec tion. You will say that at the conclu sion or the play, L ear is overcome and his greatness ot spirit Is broken. But Is he ? Merely becau se Lear a nd Cordelia go down to death iH no r eason tor co nsidering them broken 'on the wheel of t ate. D eath comes to a ll men, and as a r e lease t:or those or us w ho are eager to yie ld the bUt·den of morta lity into h er arms a s one Elizabetha n s inger , who was fi lled with the greatness of huma nity, s ings:

"One short s leep pas t, w e wake e terna lly,

And D eath s hall be no m or e : D eat h , thou s ha lt di e !"

Death cannot conquer such a spirit as t his. And was n o t L ear suc h a one? The r e is nothing of pet tiness or fullllty In the ending of this man. Rather there is a terrible ex ul tation, even in t his, the m ost strick e n mome nt ot his life, in his own power, in his undaunte d dauntlessness. He w as not a m a n who tamely s ubmitted t o des tin y , or whose heart was cru s h ed by a sen se of the worthlessness of life, as a re the charac­'ters of modern drama. Not h e, who with the tremendous strength of his fierce s pirit overcam e the handicaps of age, weaknss, a nd s icknss a nd "killed the slave" that was ha n ging Cordelia. And then see how even in his sorrow, he re­joices in tha t str e n g th, tor when the captain affirms: "Tis tru e, my lords , h e did.'' he takes a savage satis faction in the fac t:

"Did I not , .fellow? I h ave seen the day, with my good

biting falchion I would have m a de them s kip:" But it Is espec ially the m emory ot

t hat beautiful poetry L ear spok e be fore· .be went away to prison that s urrou n ds even the grim darkness of this conclu - ' sion with a ha lo of loveli ness. This ~peech was s poken tor all time. It has the light or e ternity upon it. It was not m e r ely the expr ession o! a moment's emotiona l ex c itement but was of the ve ry stuff ot the m a n-the blo3-soming of his soul. It came from o ut of t he abundance of his g r eatness, ou t of the fu lfillm ent of a ll the promises of his character,-the c rown of his soul 's s triving towards goodness and tru t h. It was an indisputable proof o! t he nobility of Lear. And It Is the con· sciou s n ess of this n obility, this splen· dour of soul in L ear, as well a lso as In Cordelia, that comforts us.

It is this speech , in which the fire of L ear 's spirit leaped into a flame o! g lory, that illumina t es a ll that has gone be fo r e , and a ll that com es after in the p lay. It burns in the memory long after the v ileness or GonerU and R egan a nd Edmund h as b een forgot te n. It is fo r me t he rose ot truth and beauty s pringing up from the depths of t he black mud of sin and horror. I look upon it in Its lone, g lowing loveliness a nd forget a ll the te rrors hidde n in the evil, creeping da rkness below. Or It I do turn m y gaze upon the slimy mire, I am r eady to excuse even its lothsome­ness as perh aps being the mysterious source o! this beauty. It I looked only below, perha ps I might be In danger of being overwhelmed by the !utJllty a nd hopelessnes s and sordidness of life, but how can I feel anything but a trium­phant joy when I see this s tra nge , Im­mortal flower of g oodness and beauty tha t has sprung from ou t o! the black­ness and u glin ess of lite?

The Columbus game was just another "\."ictory tor St. ""\-l.a.tor. X one ol that sena.tional work that bas characterized the play ot the Green '"\Vn ve wa.s ex ­hibited. A.tter Evaro had sUpped In his counter !oUowed in the next hall minute by Dalrymple. t.he team seemed to slump into more or less careless work: the highly geared machine did not function with the precision a.nd smoothness that marked the victory over Bradley. or in tact any ol the close games t .hat "VIator has played. Every man on the team seemed to be going at his top speed, giving his utmost to put across a. score. but the etrort was not unified. Just wh..1.t Is the cause of this is difficult to fathom. It was present in the Va.lporaiso and the Detroit games, despite the one­sided scores that resulted.

It requires no high degree o.t basket bal l knowledge to appreciat e the great power that is resident within the pres­ent ba.aket ball combination: every po­sition Is manned by an Individual high­ly q uaU!ied for his a.ssignmen t, and t he plays used seem peculiarly w ell fttted ror the special talents o! t he players.

t. Xa.vler w1ll be the test. of t ests; tr V iator can rlse to the demands or he occasion , whlch we a ll confidently be Ueve, there Is nothing to be .feared. The balance o1' t he schedule should be an uninterrupted triumphant march.
