Of many a parlor chair. .

THE SHAKESPERE CLUB.
The Shakespere Club met in
its usual place Jast Tuesday night
to discuss Othello.
Dr. Hume made some very in
teresting remarks on the plot and
characterization.
C. Ellis, of '94, read a paper
on "Sources of Othello." Shakes
pere drew largely from an Ital
ian novel of the - 16th century;
He had different characters and
different motives, the former of
which he remodeled. It is cor
rect in general historical coloring
and may have had a real back
ground. :
The president read extracts
from papers by Mr. Hudgens, on
"Scenery of Venice and discus
sion of Othello," and by Mr. Van
Ioppenon "Jealousy of Othello."
Swink, '94, read a paper on
"Desdemona and Amelia, her
fail." He traced the story of
Desdemona' s love and described
her character and made a strong
comparison of the noble Desde
mona' s idea with this simple ple
bian Amelia. Moral of the play,
purity as a poet, nobility as real,
were touched upon.
Extracts were read from a pa
per, by Mr. Sawyer, on "Amelia
as a. fail." Mr. Barnes, '94, read j
a paper on "Desdemona." j
A sonnet on "Desdemona, " by j
Mr. T. B. Lee, was read by Dr. j
Hume, the president of the Club.
Also one from Mr. L. C. Van
Noppen. Both were very fine
indeed. Attention was called to
papers by Messrs. Brawley, Gil
lespie, Rawlins and Bingham.
Papers were read by Mr. Smith,
'94, on "Interpretation of Iago
by actors," and Mr. Oldham, '94,
on "Superstition in the Play,"
and by Horne, '95, on "Contrast
in Othello in metre diction, char
acterization and scenes." The
latter was pronounced by Dr.
Hume "very interesting and orig
inal." Dr. Winston entertained the
Club with a few remarks on "The
Play," treating the main charac
ters. Only one touch of humanity
seen in Iago. The whole play is
natural. . It must be so.
The meeting was even more
interesting than usual.
Why not subscribe to the Tar
Heel, the Athletic organ ?
The February number of the
N. C. Uhiversity Maga,2ine con
tains a full issue of unusually in
teresting reading matter, his
torical, literary and poetical.
" The sketch of the life of Judge
William B. Rodman is of special
interest to members of the Law
Class, and others interested in the
Biography of the North Carolina
Jurist.
I We like the plear cut literary
style of the article "A Critical
Contrast of Carlyle, Macauley and
DeQuincey characterizeng them
Respectfully as a pessemist, an op
timist and a hidonist. The son
net "Heart Thoughts" and the
poem "Blue and White" are of
high merit. Poetical genius is
not "" wanting among University
students.
s "Luther's Translation of the
Bible" is an entertaining article
showing the literary influence of
Luther's German version .of the
Bible, creating a literary form
which still maintains itself as the
language of culture in Germany.
The editors deserve much cred
it for the successful management
of the Magazine, and are to be
congratulated for having estab
lished for it such an enviable rep
utation. We are justly proud of
of our magazine.
A PASTEL.
Musical strains came upon the
ear wildly moaned the deep
tones of the violin broken in
on the by the ripple of the pi
ano. Sweet came the gentle
pleading in return. I- leaned on
the picket fence and listened
carried away in my dream, I
forgot my pipe enchanted I
stood and watched the varying
shadows on the curtain above.
It caused a quiet feeling to
come over me and when all was
over, I turned to go, to be aroused
from my reverie by other music.
Across the way from a cabin door
came the dreary notes from a cor
net and accordion as they wheez
ed out "After the Ball" I
thought again glanced up again
at the window and wondered who
were the happier! Those that
delight in the mathematical ex
actness of each note studied so
by a master as to give forth all
that lay within, or those who car
ed merely for an inexact jingle of
time? Who? E.
PHILOLOGICAL CLUB.
The regular monthly meeting
of the club was held at the rooms
of Prof. Tol man on Friday even
ing, March 2nd, having been
postponed one week. The fol
lowing papers were read-1
"A possible Ancient Persian,
original of Ezra, I, 46, " by Prof.
Tolman.
Cyclostyle copies of the version

members and the reading justifi
ed in each case by comparison

tions translated in Prof. Tolman's
work, "A guide to the Old Per
sian Inscriptions."

tion of Persians" by Mr. Pugh,

INTER-SOCIETY DEBATE.
The fifth Inter-Society debate
came off on Thursday night, Feb.
22nd resulting in a victory for the
Dialectic Society. :. . '
,The query for debate was:
"Resolved that Hawaii should be
admitted into the United States. ' '
The Phi Society represented by
Messrs. . Horne and Alexander
had the affirmative, the Di So
ciety, represented by Messrs.
Dockery, S. and Swink the neg
ative. The contest was in the Dialec
tic Hall which was filled to its
uttermost capacity.
The question was Very ably dis
cussed on both sides, but the su
perior array of the facts present
ed by the negative side justified
the judges, -Dr. Winston, Dr.
Crowell of Trinity College and
Rev. Mr Watson of Chapell Hill,
in deciding in its favor.
We are glad to see these con
tests so well kept up, for they are
a feature of the literary work
that should not be permitted to
die away as they have threatened
to do. These contests should
take place more freqently than
they have done for the past year,
and if such were the case, such a
lamentable lack of interest in so
ciety work would not be shown.
By better preparation by the
masses of the students, these de
bates could be made prominent
features, '
