Dr. Arehibald Rutledge, jioet lau reate of South Carolina, sjioke in the college auditorium Wednesday eve ning under the auspices of the senior class. Dr. Rutledge was introduced to the audience of about 200 people by Marjorie Timms, president of the senior class. The subject of his speech was, “Sources of Inspiration.” The poet gave as his first source of inspiration, nature. He said that he had transcribed many messages he had got from the many various phases of nature. He learned from nature that “the same laws which govern ])lanets govern us too.” He said that the laws of nature can never be changed. Hajipiness cannot be found and realized unless these laws are obeyed. He stressed the point that wild animals are always ready to meet any emergency. The second source of inspiration brought out was his contact with backwoodsmen and jilantation work ers. For a long time Dr. Rutledge has as a hobby the collection of In dian lore. He learned much when he was studying this among the Delaware Indians. He gave examples of maxims he had used that he heard his jilanta- tion workers use. He also stated that most sources of ins])iration eome from the most unexpected places. Dr. Rutledge said that one of the greatest sources is beautiful woman hood. He gave examples of his trib utes to womanhood. He said, “There is nothing deejier or higher than hu man affection. Love must live on wonder and mystery.” As an important source he gave the awareness of the presence of the in visible. “Things we feel, see and hear are not the only things that exist,” he said. He gave as his last source darkness, tears, sorrow, and loss. “Loss is life’s challenge to be great. All heroes and heroines have been made in limes of danger and distress,” he brought out. Dean Agnew honored Dr. Rutledge at a reception after the lecture. This Week At Queens By PEGGY WILLIAMS Casual Thinking: The day is ruined if there’s no morn ing mail for you—particularly if it happens to be a rainy day—in a recent copy of Mademoiselle they featured some novel ways which women will, they predict, resort to in the not so- far-future, in efforts at beautifying— such as striped coiffures, scalloped finger nails, ej'e lashes tipped with feathers and sequins (not at the same time, we hope)—])ersonally we’ll still take ye ole’ all-American girl for our money! “Wurthering Heights” was the most depressing movie we’ve seen of late, though “Dark Victory” ran it a close second. “College Years” states that the main difference be tween southern and northern univer sities and colleges lies in the fact that in the south the professors and teach ers are most inclined to join in “hull sessions” and sech with students— maybe— Wool Gathering on The Streets: The high school bands who visited the city not so long ago were throng ing all over the streets and did add a dash of color. We wish their parade hadn’t conflicted with May Day exer cises out here—sjieaking of May Day, as usual it brought out all the candid camera fiends, as well as the dogs— though we’ve yet to see one, there must he lots of fires out in this di rection because the fire engines are continually “trucking” out this way— All the shops are showing truly delect able beach and summer togs now, and, per our usual custom, we’ve been going around town jilastering our nose against every one of the show windows. Uj) town the other day we heard a policeman “moving them on” as a group of peo])le were listening to the Salvation Army outfit . . . as long as the.v’re going to let them do their bit there, you’d think they’d let them have their audience— Com’ncement Program Is Completed Dr. .John Miller Wells of Sumter, S.
