Classics And
: S
(Editor's Note : The Daily Tar
Heel continues today its series of de
partmental surveys with the intention
of presenting student opinion on
courses listed in the University cata
logue, as an aid to students about to
register for the spring quarter. Opin
ions offered are not necessarily those
of The Daily Tar Heel.)
The main purpose of the Uni
versity classics department as
outlined to The Daily Tar Heel
in its survey last year is the
disseminatfon of culture. Pro
fessor W. S. Bernard called at
tention to the fact that from the
classics has come the highest
type of thinking that the world
has known, that Greek and Lat
in have a practical value in the
studies of medicine, law, and
pharmacy, and that the study of
the languages serves as mental
discipline to a greater extent
than modern languages.
"Therefore," said Bernard,
"the departments of classics
place first emphasis on the study
of the languages, considering
from experience that about five
courses such as offered m a
quarter will attain this end. Op
portunity for further study is
offered by the departments in
manv elective courses that cover
practicallv their whole litera
tures. In the second place, stress
is laid nn a knowledge of xheir
civilizations, arts, especially the
Greek, whose architecture today
dominates the western world ;
their nhilnsoohv, which satu
rates all modem thinking; their
manners and customs ; and their
onwrnmpnix'- and institutions.
Therefore, to meet this end the
departments offer courses wmcn
n nmnlish this purpose
particularly in the field of ar-
chaeology."
Thomas Affirms That There Is
Definite Trend Toward Socialism
Socialist Candidate for President
Changing Attitude in Colleges; Explains Fewness of
Socialist Votes to Defeatism.
o-
"Yes, there is a definite trend
in the minds of American stu
dents toward socialism," stated
Norman Thomas, socialist can
didate for president during the
past two campaigns, after his
talk Friday evening in Memorial
Hall on "Where Do We Go from
Here and How." Mr. Thomas
then cited instances of two of
the largest American colleges,
Princeton and the University of
Michigan, whose students have
already begun an active and con
certed movement in favor of his
program of reform.
The number of students sur
rounding Mr. Thomas after his
talk bears witness to his popul
arity on the University of North
Carolina campus. Well over six
feet in height, the white-haired
American socialist presented a
commanding figure on the stage
of Memorial Hall as he towered
above a group of those who had
gathered to hear his after-remarks
and to obtain his auto
graph. When asked whether the col
legiate proponents of socialism
were mainly confined, to the so
called "intellectuals," the form
er candidate for president re
plied that while this was to a
certain extent true, it is rapidly
being accepted not as an imprac
tical Utopia, but as a matter-of-
f actTscheme for . economic ' re
iorm. Mr. lnomas speeen m
Memorial Hall, in fact, was al
most wholly directed toward ex
plaining how his program could
Philosophy
The following is the consensus
of student opinion on courses of
fered in these departments :
Latin 1. Review of prepara
tory school Latin, stressing
grammar and selections from
Cicero's orations. Instruction
tends to be mechanical.
Latin 2. Study of the Aeneid
and further training in forms.
Greater emphasis laid on trans
ition arid background than in
Latin 1.
Latin 11. Excellent course in
Horace and Terrence. In addi-
ion to getting a firm grasp of
the Latin, the student receives
valuable information in stage
and poetic technique of the pe
riod. Difficult but worth-while
under Elliott. More enjoyable
with Sanders who pays more at
tention to culture of time than
rote translation.
Latin 12. Splendid course in
the prose works of the Empire
under Drs. Harrer and Howe.
Less difficult than 11 but mate
rial less interesting. Personal
ities and scholarship of profes
sors offset some dull subject
matter. Latin 22. Interesting course
in Roman law under Dr. Harrer.
Is closely linked with the de
velopment of English law and
should prove generally valuable.
Judicious blend of translation
and legal discussion.
Latin 51. Active course in
Roman satire which provides
clear insight into Latin thought
and wit. Dr. Sanders develops
keen interest and genuine regard
for his subject
Latin 104. Comprehensive
study of personality and career
of Cicero under Dr. Harrer, a
thorough-going scholar whose
in Past CamDaism Points to
be translated into action. "I
doubt that Mr. Roosevelt in his
inauguration speech," he re
marked, "will explain as full a
program of action as I have to
night." On the subject of political
parties, he was asked about the
comparatively few number of
votes cast in favor of the Social
ist party during the last elec
tion. "Yes," declared the presi
dential candidate, "I admit that
prior to Hoover's campaign
speecnes we aid expect more
votes that we actually got."
However, he explains this dis
appointment by calling it "a
kind of defeatism, as it were,"
on the part of the American
people. Mr. Thomas declares
that the California engineer's
campaign tour drove a great
number of voters to lend their
support to Roosevelt in their
anxiety lest the Republican ad
ministration should once more
go into office. With his charac
teristic humor he remarked, "I
received a large number of let
ters from citizens all over the
country who wrote that they
voted for me in the straw vote
but voted for Roosevelt in the
last minute of the presidential
election." Mr. Thomas express
ed no , unsportsmanlike regret
over this disappointing turn of
affairs.
Method of Public Ownership
Alleviating a popular and un
founded prejudice against the
(Continued on page two)
Estimated In
knowledge of the period aug
ments the stimulation derived
from reading Cicero's letters and
orations in a scholarly fashion.
Greek 1-2. An elementary
course in Greek grammar. En
tirely the memorization of the
text. Uninteresting.
Greek 13. "Crip" course in
Homer. An evidence of the
knowledge of one or two new
principles suffices to pass the
course. Good under Bernard.
Greek 14. A continuation of
Greek grammar. Dr. Harland
pays too little attention to the
study of prose.
Greek 21. Mostly a study of
comparative philosophy with a
great deal of outside reading.
Little translation done but much
'bull sessioning" with Professor
Bernard.
Greek 53. Professor Bernard
delves into the psychology of the
Greek drama. Some outside
reading. Presents the Greek
drama as the basis for all drama.
Greek 58. A study of the
Greek new testament. The en
tire course is a discussion of
morals.
Greek 71. The history of
Greek civilization, dealing with
horrie-life, athletics, the army,
etc. If good notes are taken in
class, virtually no outside read
ing is necessary. Papers are
deeply scrutinized.
Greek 91-92. Two courses in
general archaeology that have
earned reputations as "crips.
Nevertheless, Dr. Harland gives
a thorough analysis of ancient
art and architecture that makes
the courses among the most cul
tural in the University. Attract
ive slides accompanied by wide
awake lecturing add to the in

Last Survey
:
terest.
Greek 93. Specifically Greek
archaeology. Architecture, paint
ing, and sculpture of the Greeks
made compelling by Dr. Harland.
From all these courses the stu
dent will emerge with a true ap
preciation of Hellenic art. None,
however, entail too much work.
PHILOSOPHY
Professor Horace Williams
made the following statement
concerning the aims of the phi
losophy department:
"Philosophy has passed
through the series of forms that
belong to life. Childhood ; youth ;
maturity are the steps. Today
philosophy is passing into the
mature stage. In logic the stu
dent sees the process of knowl
edge. He sees what the mathe-
matizing act is. He sees what
the sciencizing act is. He sees
the synthesis of these. Also log
ic exhibits the values of knowl
edge. Knowing the mathematiz-
ing act, one may see its value.
So of the others. One may say
that philosophy as exhibited in
logic brings clearness as to hu
man aims. It brings knowledge
of values, value of theology,
value of mathematics, value of
science. That is, logic offers the
student a kit of tools. The busi
ness man goes equipped with a
yard stick, quart pot, and bal
ance. He does business intelli
gently. So logic furnishes a kit
of tools for the human process
as it translates itself into
knowledge."
The following is the consensus
of student opinion of some of
the courses in the philosophy
department :

NOTED SOCIALIST
DELIVERS FINAL
FORUMLECTURE
Norman Thomas Outlines Course
For Action to Large Audi
ence Friday.
"The Federal reserve banking
system should be socialized, sub
jected completely to govern
mental control," Norman Thom
as, Socialist candidate for the
Presidency in 1928 and 1932
said here Friday in an address,
the culminating lecture of the
open forum series which has
been sponsored by the Council
for Student Expression.
"The present banking sys
tem," Mr. Thomas asserted,
"gives neither protection in ad
versity nor good service in pros
perity." He pointed out the
revelations which have come
about as result of the Insull
crash.
New Bank System
' "All commercial banks should
be compelled to join the Federal
Reserve System and a pool
should be set up to guarantee the
depositors money," Mr. Thomas
said.
He advocated, too, that a
credit board, allied on the one
hand with the national economy
planning board and on the other
with the Federal Reserve Sys
tem, be established.
Mr. Thomas urged a federal
bond issue of six billions for
public works and the socializa
tion of in dustries,. v ,
The first step to be taken to
ward getting out of the present
predicament, the Socialist chief
affirmed, is to give the masses
buying power. He suggested that
the federal government give
every unemployed family $10
per week for six months.
He suggested that the social
ization of industries, operated
collectively for the benefit of the
masses and not for profit, might
well begin with the federal gov
ernment harnessing idle men to
idle factories. The factories
could be purchased at present at
small cost and paid for by
sweeping inheritance taxes and
other assessments on capital.
