Chi cago has , abandoned its forty-year-old custom of acting as bookmaker alone and has turned bookmaker and publisher. The skill of the press has gone into the making of four American books,, American-illustrated, one of which is Thoreau's W olden with a Preface by Dr. Raymond Adams of the University of North Carolina English faculty. Only a thousand copies of each book have been made, so the venture is more artistic than commercial. The press announces that "future publishing activities will be entirely casual, and if we do not find another perfect com bination of artist and, book, no thing more will be produced." W olden, of course, is Walden, a book in black and white. But Thoreau is a paradox and there fore, and if not therefore, at least also, a enigma. A new in terpretation of the author re sults in a new interpretation of his work. Dr. Adam's Preface gives a new and decidedly pleas ing idea of the man who went to live in a shack by the New En- gland pond on almost nothing, financially, a year, and absorbed wisdom. Public opinion is bull headed, so once having accepted the translation of the name Thoreau to be whimpering re cluse,, it has held tenaciously to that idea ; but Dr. Adams makes a new translation and finds in the name Thoreau, friendly, ex perimenting youth impatient with sham. He reminds the read er that, far from having the one (Continued on page two .

It has been a curious fact that every few years, quite regular ly, some guiding genius has come forth from nowhere, taken his pick of talent from the many small orchestras on the campus, and in a year or two shown the general public that there is abil ity in a woodpile, as well as ten acity. , - The first orchestra leader from Carolina to gain worldwide recognition was Tal Henry, who today holds one of the promi nent places in the world-of jazz leaders. A few years after the departure ofvTal and his North Carolinians from the University, Year At N. C. has met with much success during Dame system, which was instaHed largely responsible for the strong has had for-the past few years. J. D. Watson Takes Merritfs Position JohiL D.

DANCE ORCHESTRAS Hal Kemp presented to the world his famousxband, with the saxa phone section which Paul White- man declared to be the best in the world and which has since then received even more favor able criticisms from the, untu tored public Both Tal Henry and Hal Kemp left North Caro lina with combinations of stu dents who showed ability and promise, and kept right on climbing until today they stand at the top, along with bands composed of professionals who have known nothing but music since childhood. All of which might perhaps point out that college is at least not detrimen tal to the artistic attributes of music genius. The most recent prodigy of the University is Kay Kyser, who has just begun an indefinite engagement in one of New (Continued on page two) Frosh Meet AH freshmen registered in the school of education will meet tonight at 8:30 in room 201 Peabbdy.
