DR. WILSON TO
BE ENTERTAINED
BY ANTON LANG
UniversUy Librarian Is Notified
That He Will Be Guest Of
Famous Passion Play Actor
This Summer.
s Several years ago the Univer
sity village experienced a mild
sensation when a band, of
Hopi Indians from out West
came to Chapel Hill for a per
formance and became so fond of
Professor Fred Koch, guiding
genius of the Carolina Playmak-
ers, that without further ado
they elected him honorary chief
of ther tribe.
Now along comes Dr. i Louis
Wilson, University librarian,
and goes Chief Koch one better.
For, believe it or riot, Dr. Wil
son is to be entertained in the
home of Herr Anton Lang, the
Christus of the famous Oberam-
mergau Passion Play, when he
visits Germany this coming
summer.
It is not exactly a formal in
vitation that Dr. Wilson has re
ceived from the famous Lang,
but it serves the same purpose.
It happened this way: The vil
lage of Oberammergau A is so
small that most of the visitors
who go there to soe' the7 great
Passion Play, which is given on
ly once every ten years, are en
tertained in the private homes
of the natives. It is the cus
torn. The company that booked
for Dr. Wilson for his European
itenary notified him several
days ago that during his stay
there he would be the guest of
Anton Lang. Naturally he was
immensely pleased, but he is at
a "loss to offer an explanation
as to why it should have fallen
to his lot to be. placed in such
good company. He is going to
be the last to raise a row about
his predicament, however, and
he has already half-way prom
ised to do an article on the fam
ous Lang from the close-up
point of view.
Since the first of the year Dr.
Wilson has been enjoying
much deserved leave of absence.
He and members of his family
spent the months of January,
February, and March in Florida.
Today he left for Now York, and
tomorrow night he will sail for
Naples aboard the Italian steam
ship Roma. He will be away
until August, during;, which time
he plans to visit Italy, Switzer
land, Germany, France, Belgium
Holland, and England.
While abroad Dr. Wilson ex
pects to visit the principal li
braries of Europe. He especial
ly looks forward to a visit to the
Vatican library at Rome, which
is being reorganized along Amer
ican lines under the direction of
Dr. W. W. Bishop, librarian of
the University of Michigan. As

Y GETTING READY
FOR BLUE RIDGE
Campaign To Be Waged Shortly
For Delegates To Summer
Camp.
The Blue Ridge Conference,
which is to be held June 14-23,
was the main subject of discus
sion at the meetings of the Y
cabinets last night. Grady Leon
ard spoke to the freshman group
about the conference, H. F. Com
er to the sophomore cabinet and
President Jimmie Williams to
the junior-senior cabinet.

freshmen had opened with short
devotional exercises, E. R. Ran
kin of the extension division,
i ...
asked " for volunteers to act as
Secretaries of debate sections at
the high school debates that are
to be held here next Thursday
and Friday. Grady Leonard
then made a short talk on the
Blue Ridge Conference. "Be
sides the sports, fine speeches,
good eats, and vocational guid
ance that one will find at this
conference, the greatest part of
the program is the contact with
students from other schools in
the 'south," stated Mr. Leonard.
Jimmie Williams, president of
the Y, spoke to the junior-senior
group on this same subject. He
urged that as many members as
possible try to plan this trip in
their summer vacation. Many
advantages of - the -' conference
were pointed out by the presi
dent. The. cabinet also held aJ-!
discussion of the North Carolina
Conference for Social Service
which is to meet April 13, 14,
and-15 in Charlotte. For the
first time a student section is to
be introduced into this confer
ence. ;
Sentence prayers opened the
program -of the sophomore cab
inet. Jack Dungan, president of
the group, then called on H. F.
Comer to talk to the cabinet on
the Blue Ridge Conference.
Quite a few students indicated
their desire to go to this confer
ence, and it is hoped by the Y
authorities that a large delega
tion can be sent to the confer
ence from the University. F. M.
James served as chairman of the
meeting, following a new : plan
inaugurated by the president.
Former Carolina

Jacksonville, in 1890 and lived
there during his early education.
He entered the University of
North Carolina in 1909 as a
member of the class of 1913.
However his stay on the cam
pus lasted only one year, and he
finished his college courses at
Princeton, whence he. graduated
in 1914, with the honors of
Phi Beta Kappa. He was a
Rhodes scholar from the state
of Florida, and obtained his law
degree and Master of Arts at
Oxford.

a membership in the Commission
of Relief to Belgium, of which
Hoover was then chairman.

editor. Williams is also presi
dent of the Debate Council, ex

ner of the Bingham and Wright
medals, and has represented the

debates.
CAMPUS IS MOWED
As the students went to their
eight-thirty classes this morn
ing they were greeted by the
sound of self-propelling lawn
mowers which have' been silent
since last autumn. Two negroes
under the direction of Mr. Alf
Pickard were piloting the ma
chines over the beautiful stretch
of campus between Old South
building and the Library, r
Mr. Pickard says that it will
take the two men about one
week to cover the entire cam
pus. These men followed by
others whose job it is to take a
small hand scythe and cut .all
the bunches and sprigs of grass
left by the machines. They cut
around the trees and buildings
where it is impossible to carry
the machines. The grass is
left ton the ground after it is
cut. No pushing and pulling of
lawn mowers, no raking and
carting away of grass after it is
cut these should make lawn
mowing a pleasure at Carolina.
