FINDS AMERICAN STUDENTS MORE
SERIOUS THAN THOSE IN ENGLAND
T. J.
Wilson, III, Rhodes Scholar, Gives Qui Interesting Interview
On Experiences and Observations While Studying
In Great Britain.
. The average student in Amer
ican universities takes a more
serious attitude toward his work
than do x the' men in Oxford
University, England, according
to T. J. Wilson, III, " Rhodes
scholar, who has just returned
to his home here after complet
ing work at Oxford for the de
gree of doctor of philosophy. ..'
That there is a marked dif
ference in the methods of in
struction in American and Eng?
lish colleges was emphasized in
an interview. Mr. 'Wilson has
tened to qualify his first'point
. with the statement that what he'
said about Englishmen not tak
ing their studies as seriously as
Americans applied to "the aver
age student." He explained
that the Oxford student body is
divided into two" classes, one of
which goes to college with the
specific purpose of working,
the other with the main idea of
having a good time. v
, A former member of the Uni
versity faculty, Mr. Wilson was
awarded the Rhodes scholarship
in 1924 and was given leave of
absence for the time necessary
to complete his work at Oxford.
He received his A. B. degree
from the University in 1921 and
his M'. A. in 1924. He is to take
up his work at the University in
the Department of Romance
Languages again this fall. " He
will spend the remainder of the
summer here with his parents,
Dr. and Mrs. T. J; Wilson, Jr..
"The English student," Tsaid
Mr. Wilson, enters the univer
sity at a given age between 18
and 19 rather than at a given
stage-of preparation. The men
with good preparations work to
wards; what is called an "honor
degree whereas those poorly
prepared have as their goal the
'pass degree.' The honor de
gree students are better pre
pared than the average Ameri
can freshman and on comple
tion of a three year's course have
done the work equivalent to
that required for a master's de
gree, whereas the 'pass' stu
dents are notas well prepared
and at the end of three years

The Devereux Dramatic com
pany will present "The Ro
mance of Youth," a romance of
old Spain, in Memorial Hall,
Friday evening at 8 :30 o'clock.
The play has been adapted from
a Spanish play by Joaquin and
Serafin Alvarez-Quintero, en
titled "La Flor 'de la Vida," a
Spanish romance of old.
The performance of tomorr
row evening is the third of the
series of summer attractions.
Those holding season tickets will
be admitted without further
charge.
The play opens in the-gardens
of the Duke de La Fontana,
which Berto Cellini, the madcap
son of the village inkeeper suc
ceeds in entering in the guise
of a blind man, in order to se
cure ah interview with Aur.ea,
the daughter of the Duke, in the
course of which he admits the
fraud that he has practiced and
yentures to declare his love for
her. The second act takes
place some years later in a sum
mer cottage near Seville on the
banks of the Guadalquivir. Cel
lini, who has now become a
wealthy man and is known as
the Duke de El, is visited by
Aurea, now the Countess de
Miraluz. Aurea having learned
of a projected duel between her
husband and Cellini, has come
to plead for the former's life,
knowing that Cellini is one of
the most noted swordsmen in
Spain.'''"' :' '.'',''''"
A scene of great dramatic
power ensues in which Cellini,
finally overcome by her prayers,
promises to spare his opponent's
life. The last act occurs many
years later and is laid in the
mansion of the Count de La
Selva in Madrid. Cellini enters
as an old street musician, and
is met" by Aurea, whose daugh
ter, the Countess de La Selva,
has a child that has taken a
great fancy to the music of the
old violinist, and who will not
sleep until the musician has
made his nightly rounds. Aurea
recognizes Cellini, now in reality
almost, blind, and begs him to
gratify her grandson by play
ing before the house. Cellini
readily consents and plays some
melodies of his childhood, as
though inspired. Aurea reveals
herself to him, and after an ex
tremely touching scene in which
their past life is reviewed, they
bid each other a last farewell.
The romance is 'beautifully
told, and the characters, of
Cellini and Aurea fit Mr. Dev
ereux and Miss Graf as though
specially created for them. The
stage settings are of rare
beauty, and the handsome and
picturesque costumes of the
period assist in rendering the
performance of this charming
play one long to be remembered.

PLAYMAKERS ARE
REHEARSING DAILY
FOR SUMMER BILL
Many Experienced Actors Tak
ing Part; to be Final Number
On Attractions - Program.
Despite the hot weather and
the absence of Prof. Hubert
Heffner from the Playmaker
Theatre during the past week,
the daily rehearsals have been
going forward with a vim that
is seen only during that final
short period before the curtain
actually goes up on a show,
i Prof. Hubert Heffner, who '
came near losing an eye,; has a-
bout recovered from his opera
tion and expects to be back on
his job as director this week.
Things have been going so even
ly that the work of putting on
the final finishing touches will
be simple, such is the report
from members of the production
class. William Norment Cox
has had charge of the rehearsals
of his play, The Scuffletown
Outlaws, and Shepperd Strud-
wick has been looking after In
Dixon's Kitchen during the di
rector's absence.
These two plays that are. to
be given as the final number on
the program of Summer School
attractions were selected as rep
resentative folk plays from the
Playmakers repertoire; Both
were written by students in Pro
fessor Koch's class of playwrit-ing.
"In Dixon's Kitchen
Some directors of amateur
plays prefejr actors who have had
no previous stage experience;
others prefeer those who have
had lots of it. Professor Heff
ner has had a mixture of both
typesN with which to present In
Dixon's Kitchen. The cast for
this play comes from towns
scattered pretty widely over the
state, and is made up of persons
with various degrees of experi
ence. -
