EXPLAINS REGENT
rEAES OF UNREST
Kilpatrick's Lecture Last night
Was on "Consequent De
mands of Citizenship"
"Civilization is just now perform
ing its greatest experiment of all
time the experiment of a moving
stability from the old assumption
that religion and tradition are au
thority, to the new assumption that
the correct thing is to bring a social
moral philosophy to bear on the work
ings cf life."
Such is Dr. William H. Kilpatrick's
explanation of the recent years of un
rest. He delivered the second in the
annual series of three Weil Lectures
at the University last night on the
subject "The Consequent Demands on
Citizenship," which was a sequel to
his first lecture "How the South Is
Changing."
"Nowhere is this experiment more
evident than in the South," he said.
''For long years past we have had a
rule of the inferior because of a lack
of education for the whole. Mill and
rural isolation created an ideal
ground for selfish and ignorant poli
ticians to work. A partial result has
been the deep unrest and the grop
ing of later years.'
"Our civilization is being tried at
the bar. We have been gradually
getting away from tradition and the
authority of ' the elders. We have
even changed our family life from
the old patriarchal system to the
present system that finds a place for
birth control, companionate marriage
and divorce. We find it easier to
evade personal responsibilities.
"And yet obligation and duty are
words that are most certainly not out
of date. We owe a duty to tradition.
We merely have immediate problems
of unrest to solve, problems that
come out of the shift from static to
dynamic civilization.
"Examples of this present day un
rest have been the Mencken vogue,
the vogue of Sinclair Lewis' criticism
of Babbitt, the vogue of new poetry,
a resentment to 'uniformity and the
'machine 'age.' Such things are not
new in history.
"The whole country has a feeling
of overmuch , organization, from
cheering at a football game to church
work. We are tired of expert think
ing, being handed down to us from
above. The individual objects to be
ing overwhelmed, to living a chain
store life with efficiency experts.

pouring of cement is now going on and
in a few days work will be begun in
earnest on the wall3 and interior. -
Largest tm Campus
The building will be the largest on
the campus when it is completed. It
will be 208 feet long and the front
will be of limestone. According to
the x estimate of the architects it will
require at least fifteen months to have
the library ready for use. . -
The interior of the building will be
in keeping with the beauty of the ex
terior. The floors will be made of
marble and terrazzo while the walls
will be decorated in colors harmoniz
ing with them. The plans for the li
brary were worked out by Dr. Wilson

New Wall Is Rising
To Rear Of South
Where has been a blank, bleak," un
impressive washed out bank of red
clay left by the graders of the drive
way round the lower side of Old
South, the foundation is being dug
for a retaining wall to improve the
appearance of the place as well as
prevent encroachment of the driving
and parking space by erosion of the
soil every time it rains.
The wall will be of brick with
limestone topping. It is being given
a deep foundation, and will rise about
two feet above the surface sof the
drive. A sample of the same type of
construction is found in 'the two
short walls, already present at the
steps at the southeast corner of the
building, in the path running by
Steele and- the Playmaker building.
The new wall will be in the nature
of a continuation of these, but will be
hieher. It will run from the Y build
ing almost to the walk on the other
side of the administration building,
leaving a little space for the conven
ience of auto drivers who wish to go
to a parking space down on the lower
ground.
The low ground from the place of
construction to the railroad has been
staked off, and will undergo grading
and levelling off 'soon.

typewriting. One unique feature of
the new -building will be the reading
room which will be provided for the
use of blind students. -
When completed the library will be
one of the largest in the south and
will cost $625,000.
New Dorm
The new dormitory, which was be
gun last December, is fast nearing
completion. The exterior is practical
ly finished and at present the interior
is being plastered. The construction
was retarded somewhat by the ad
verse weather conditions during the
winter months. However, with the
advent of spring and warm weather
the work has been sped up and it will
be only a short time before the struc
ture is completed. '
This building will make a second
quadrangle out of the triangle. Its
floor- plan is identical with those of
the dormitories of the present trian
gle. Each room will accommodate two
men and the whole building will care
for one hundred and twenty boys. This

KILPATRICK FLAYS
SOUTH'S "MILITANT
daintausm"
Weil Lecturer Delivers First of
Annual Addresses to Large
Gerrard Hall Audience.
"The South today stands on the
threshold of a new era, and it must
face squarely the question as to
whether it shall play a worthwhile
part in leadership as of old or be swal
lowed up," asserted Dr. William H.
Kilpatrick, professor of the philoso
phy of education in Teachers College,
Columbia University, who delivered
the first of the annual series of Weil
lectures in Gerrard Hall Thursday
night. . -
Hall Well Filled
Gerrard Hall was well filled for the
lecture, and many out of town dele
gations were present for the address.
The speaker was introduced by Pres
ident Harry W. Chase, who referred
to him as one. well qualified to discuss
the South from a national viewpoint
since he had spent a 1 great many
years in both the North and the South.
Dr. Kilpatrick at the outset stated
that he was going to be brutally
frank, and that he thought he was en
titled to do so since he had spent the
last twenty years in New York and
more than that in his native South.
"The South," he said, "is entering
into full fellowship with a civiliza
tion that has become loosed in con
siderable measure from its old moor-i
ings in philosophy, religion, morals,
and education.' The Civil War isolat
ed the South, but it is now getting
back into the main current, and the
question is what Kind of education
does the South need in order to act
well its new part." .
'Certain Grevious Shortcomings"
The speaker stated that many
things of the old South should be
carried over to the new regime, such
as culture and devotion to religion,
and some things ought to be discard
ed, among them being "certain grevi
ous shortcomings, institutional, and
private."
Dr. Kilpatrick then flayed some of
these "shortcomings" and mentioned
"militant fundamentalism and "ex
cessive nationalism" in particular. A
victory of the former might mean the
suppression of thought and discus
sion while the latter has lead to such
organizations as the American Le
gion, D. A. R., and R. O. T. C. to place
too-much emphasis on suppression of
thought and discussion, rather than to
coine to understandings through dis
cussion. He also spoke against the
Ku Klux Klan.

Close Application
Necessary, Winston
Tells Law Students
"Close application in a present day
law school will save a young lawyer
ten yers of praetiee," Judge Robert
W. Winston told students of the Uni
versity Law School Wednesday night
in an address given under the aus
pices of the Law School Association. .
"The old hot house method of forc
ing youngsters past the state bar ex
amination is indeed a thing of the
past. More than ever it has come to
be recognized that a lawyer must do
more than make a livelihood as im
portant as that is."
Judge Winston, who has retired
from the bench and is now engaged
in writing, spoke on the subject "Re
sults." He was introduced by C. W.
Hall, of Newport, student president
of" the Law School Association. This
lecture marks the completion of a
series of very successful addresses
given by various legal authorities
throughout the state, under the aus
pices of the Association.

The two black-robed and hooded
tappers enter in the midst of an im

through the aisles, and suddenly
pounce upon the selected men. A
great deal of interest and speculation
is always manifest in the few weeks
preceding the tapping. .Interest has
been especially pronounced this year..
