THE SALEMITE
Friday, December 13, 1935.
SONG TO CELIA
Come, my Celia, let us prove.
While we may, the spprts of love.
Time will not be ours forever;
He at length our goods will sever.
Spend not then his gifts in vain.
Sung that set may rise again,
Hut if once we lose this light,
’Tis with us perpetual night.
Why should wo defer our joys?
Kamo and rumor are but toys.
Cannot we delude the eyes
Of a few poor household spies,
Or his easier ears beguile,
So removed by our wilet
’Tis no sin love’s fruit to steal.
But the sweet theft to reval.
To be taken, to be seen,
These have crimes aecounted been.
—Bon Jonson.

campus where lighted candlcs are
placed in the w-indows. To one who
has spent four years at Salem, these
Christmas festivities are held dear
er than any other part of the college
life, and are retained in the memory
as one of the most cherished tra
ditions of our beloved Salem.
OF CORINNA’S
SINGING
When to her lute Corinna sings,
Her voice revives the leaden string!^.
And doth in highest notes appear
As any challenged echo clear;
But when she doth of mourning
speak.
Even with her sighs the strings or
break
And as lier lute doth live or die,
Led by her jvassion, so must I,
I’or when of pleasure she doth sing,
Ify thoughts enjoy a sudden spring,
But if she doth of sorrow speak.
Even from my heart the strings do
break.
—Thomas Campion.

pie respond to different stimuli in
different ways. We add our own in-
terjvretation to the raw material
around us.
He explained the scientific view
of seeing a table:
“ We really see a reflextion of
light. The light rays reflected by
the table fall on the retina of the
eye and are tran.sformed into nervous
energy. The nerve current ceases
to bo a ray of light. The table is
first transformed into a ray of light
or a vibration, is changed into a
nerve current, which is changed into
a consciousness bv which we call it a
table.”
Dr. TIood has been professor of
Psychology at Davidson since 1920.

The naked hills lie wanton to the

Small wonder that the corn is

e proof of the cigarette
is in the smoking... and
it always will be
Smokers — both men and women—
want a cigarette to be mild—yet not fiat
or insipid. At the same time they want
a cigarette that gives them taste—taste
they can enjoy.
Chesterfields are outstanding for mild
ness—outstanding for better taste. You can
find that out by smoking them.
- Chesterfields are what they say they are
