CARL VAN DOREN EDITOR OF CENTURY SPEAKS AT COLLEGE Subject, “The Pioneers and the New Youth”—Introduced by Charles B. Shaw NO AMERICANS PERFECT EXHIBITION OF NEW TEETH BY G. TODD Humorist Now Grins in Peace and Pleasure—Seemed Dis turbed at First AGAIN APPEARS AS SHEIK People Today Are Finding Out That Not All Individuals, at Least, Like Standardizing Industrial Lives “There is a prevailing notion among the followers of 100 per cent American ism that to be a good American one must agree with everybody else,” said Dr. Carl Van Doren, literary editor of The Century Magazine. Dr. Van Doren spoke at N. C. C. Tuesday night, No vember 30. Ilis subject was “The Pioneers and the New Youth.” He was presented to a large audience by Charles B. Shaw, librarian. Dr. Van Doren said he thought no American had ever been exactly 100 per cent; Jefferson rated high, but certainly not more than 59; and Robert E. Lee, although a great man, perhaps would have rated rather low. “Americans came to the United States to get away from fundamentalism,” said the editor,” it was a peculiar thing that Bryan, the fundamentalist, could make such a stampede as to lead them back to it.” “People today are finding out that not all individuals, at least, like stand ardized industrial lives,” said the speaker. Dr. Van Doren was graduated from the University of Illinois. At the uni versity he won special honors in lit erary work. At Columbia university he did graduate work in English and comparative literature. He traveled in England, Scotland, Holland, Ger many and France and was made the head of the Brearley school, which is a private institution in New York. . After this he became literary editor of The Nation, the position which he resigned in 1922 for a like post on The Century. He is at the present time a member of the English faculty at Co lumbia university. Dr. Van Doren has also written several books and many articles for leading magazines.

Over a week ago Graham Todd came to school without his usual smile and sounds of high spirit. He cautiously stepped into the school and then slowly went to his room and took his seat. What in the world could Graham be doing? What was he up to now? He appeared to be greatly disturbed. Men tally, he was worried! This was cer tainly evident. The object which was most suspicious, however, was con cealed by the lightly developed tactics of his tongue. Several days ago he seemed to regain his former cheerfulness and tranquility among his fellow students. We no ticed—and wondered _ _ _ _ Of course he did. He desired to dis play a new pair of teeth which made him look the jiart of a sheik once more. Someone finally discovered his false teeth and the whole school, practically, demanded to see them.

LAUNDRY VISITED BY ART CLASS NOV. 19 All Interesting Machines Exhib ited to Students—Other Trips Planned EMPLOYEES INTERESTING Miss Boley’s Industrial Art class visited Dicks’ Laundry, Friday, Novem ber 19. There were 18 pupils who took this trip. Miss Ruth Greenwaldt ac companied them. Mr. G. Foushee, one of the officials of the laundry, showed the class through the plant. The students chose to visit Dicks’ Laundry because it is a modern indus trial plant. They were shown every process and machine in the plant. They learned that there are 180 employees, including an old woman about 98 years old, who seemed to interest them a great deal. She has been working at the laundry for 38 years and has reached the place where she works only when she feels like it. The class found the curtain-stretcher and blanket and collar machines most interesting. The students were also very much interested in the process of assorting the clothes and in the dry cleaning department. Miss Boley says she is planning to take the class on at least two trijis a semester. She wants the next visit to be to a flour or textiie mill. N. C. C. ALUMNAE PLAN HOME-COMING ON DEC. 4 I'he N. C.

Dramatics Class to Appear in Farce at an Early Date (Continued from Page One) hns been receiving anonymous letters. He asks that a pair of sleuths be sent to his house—in the role of cook and butler. Unaware of the purpose of their presence, the detectives set about gathering evidence. Soon the whole family and several outsiders are im plicated in a scandal, which bids fair to result in more than one divorce. Steve Alac, a chauffeur, adds to the cleverness by his quiet humor, while Airs. Ritche, the cook, is conspicuous for her lack of wit. An actor attempt ing to sporU an English accent, nearly ruins the happy home. The cast: Sherman Fessenden — Charles Mc- Lees. Airs. Fessenden—Alary Jane Whar ton. Pansy Capron—Sara Alendenhall.
