Al/UMIN NOTES.
Mr. Van Noppen, '!>(), Stu
lish Scholars —Personal Mention.
Mr. Leonard C. Van Noppen, '9O,
is attracting national notice by his
recent address at the University of
Chicago in which he asserted that
John Milton was guilty of plagiarism
in the production of "Paradise Lost."
The following report of the lecture
taken from the New York Times of
January 31st states very clearly the
contention of Professor Van Noppen:
"Prof. Leonard C. Van Noppen,
Queen Willielmina lecturer at Col
umbia, in a lecture today at the Uni
versity of Chicago, questioned the
originality of John Milton's 'Para
dise Lost.' While Milton might have
embellished the poem with a few
rhythmic phrases and some scattered
'ands' and 'ifs.' he removed the es
sential features of the poem quite
calmly, the speaker said, from a
work called 'Lucifer' by the great
Dutch writer, Vondel. Professor
Van Noppen said that he hoped to
estaJblish the claims of Vondel. He
had, he said, more than 200 pages of
parallelisms from the works of the
two men.
" 'Men are perfectly content to
eulogize Milton and pay no tribute
whatsoever to the man who made
possible Milton's 'Paradise Lost' and
'Samson,' said Professor Van Nop
pen. 'We must not censor Milton
too much for his self-evident plagiar
isms. It was the fashion of his age
to borrow. The description of the
Garden of Eden is the same in both
Vondel's and Milton's works. The
great 'Hymn of Creation,' the temp
tation, the battle scene, and all the
particulars of the fall are present in
Vondel's works. A promise of a
Christ who will come later to redeem
fallen men and a hope of a paradise
regained are common to both wri
ters.' "
As Professor Van Noppen is recog
nized as an authority in Dutch Lit
erature, the significance of his con
tention is noteworthy and it will
likely create no little discussion
among the English scholars of this
and other countries.

IN PRACTICE GAME

Point Athletic Club on the latter's
floor on Wednesday night by a count
of 44 to 16.
The Crimson and Gray outclassed
her opponents in every particular of
the contest. In the first half the
Quaker quintet guarded the club
team so closely that High Point was
able to secure only a single field
goal. iGuilford had a lead of ten
points at the close of this period, but
increased the lead in the final round
in whirlwind fashion, registering 28
points. For Guilford, Capt. Smith,
C., lead in goals, securing ten from

effective iplaying for High Point.

STOUT TRIUMPHS
OVER SILER CITY
Mr. B. K. Richardson, 'l3, brought
his Siler City boys up last Friday to
look over the college and incidental
ly play the kid team a game or so.
The game was played as scheduled
and the result was a score of 47 to
17, in the Guilford kids favor, which
was largely the product of a former
Siler City boy, "Hobo" Stout, whose
playing for the kids was so spectacu
lar as to warrant a triumphant ride
to his room 'w*here he received the
applauding hosts. 'Twas bad for Si
ler Oity to defeat Siler City but such
is the course of 'things. Anyway
Guilford was glad 'to have the Siler
City representatives here and while
it gave to one of their former fellow
citizens to immortalize ih'imself in
Gttilford athletic history, it is also
hoped that they were so 'infatuated
with Guilford and Guilford life that
they will soon return to make the
college theirs. The line-up was as
follows:
Guilford Kids Siler City
Townsend .... R.F Dorsett
Townsend, P. L.F Reitzel
Walser iC Vetsmyer
Stout, Capt R.G Beaver
Zachary, "Baby" L. G Harris
