; The fame of the University of
North Carolina Press books is
spreading even to the Euro
pean continent and to France.
The "Revue Anglo-Americaine,"
a publication of the University
Presses of France, for October,
contains a review of Philip
Schuyler Allen's "The Roman
esque Lyric."
The book under criticism was
written by the Chicago Univer
sity professor and published in
1928. At that time is was de
scribed as a "volume . . . in
which ... a critic and a trans
lator (Howard Mumford Jones
of the University faculty, who
collaborated with Mr. Allen)
have united to write the story
of poetry between the ending of
the classical age in Latin litera
ture and the MS of Cambridge
songs . . . and in which . . . Mr.
Allen's prose and Mr. Jones'
verse combine to introduce to
English readers a field of poejtry
The "Revue Anglo-Ameri-caiae,"
which reviews numerous
English and American books,
has frequently printed discus
sions of other Press publications,
among theni criticisms of works
by Norman Foerster of the Uni
versity faculty. The present
critique, written by Pierre Le
gouis, says that although the
general idea prevails that the
lyric poetry of modern Europe
was entirely formee and almost
without precursory indications
up until the time of Guillaume de
Poitiers ... "Mr. Allen supports
with great force the contrary
thesis, that of continuity of a
certain inspiration, which one
might call romantic (or, more
specifically romanesque) in op
position to the classic inspira
tion come from Greece, since
the beginnings of the Latin lit
erature up until the time when
the vulgar languages received
the heritage." .
As Mr. Legouis says "Mr.
Allen does not wish to make a
work of Criticism but of appre
ciation. . . . He writes, not for
the specialist, but for the culti
vated amateur in whom he sees
a better judge of the poetic
spirit. . . . Furthermore, one
should not be surprised that his
collaborator takes the greatest
liberties in his translations in
verse which occupy a, large part
of the volume." Although he
appreciates the discoveries of
various relationships between
the Latin and English meter
which Mr. Jones has made in
his translations, the critic can
not reconcile himself to some of
the forms which have been
adopted, of which he gives
numerous examples. xHe also de
plores the presence of numerous
typographical errors which ap
pear in the volume; but oh the
whole Mr. Legouis Relieves that
"the material presentation of
the volume proves once again
the worth and good taste of
American university presses."
In conclusion the French critic
says: "We critics of detail run
the risk of making, ourselves
appear ungrateful : towards
Messrs. Allen and Jones who
have led us through little fre
quented gardens where bloom
some strange and often beautiful
flowers.' Let us say then that
we shall read with pleasure the
volume which will follow this
one. ..."

University Gets New
Piece Of Equipment
The University has just re
cently improved two pieces of
equipment. The old wooden
grille, brought over from the
librar desk of the old Carnegie
buildin has been replaced at
ine easi ena OI xne circulation
desk on the second floor by a new
bronze grille'
The new grille is much better
suited to the scheme of decora
tion of the library. The grille
1S provided with an opening
through which all books should
be returned to the circulation de
partment. This opening is de
signed to promote the rapid and
accurate discharge of books from
the borrowers record.
By returning books through
tms opening tne borrowers are
insured of the proper cancella
tion of their records. If the
books are simply left on the
desk, there is danger of the
books being lost or mislaid.
The old circulation file cases
have been replaced by new and
larger ones: The special ad
vantage of the new cases is that

30 degrees, which greatly facili
tates the filinS and discharge of

formance! What greater trib
ute is there for Mrs. Bailey's
play, and Professor Koch's the
atre?
You should know this man,
it 11 T J A
or tnese men, ratner, Detter.
Take Mr. Lippmann first. The
New York World man is visit
ing his old friend Mr. Stallings
who lives over Yanceyville way.
Mrs. Lippmann is also along. He
is considered one of America's
foremost editorial writers, his
brilliant handling of foreign
events especially brightening up
the columns of the World.
Mr. ' Lippmann's latest and
widely read book, "A Preface
to Morals," is hailed
competent pen include
as his
"Public
Opinion," "A Preface to Poli
tics," "Men of Destiny" and
"The Phantom Public." '. He will
be remembered by Chapel Hill
people as having delivered the
commencement address here in
1927.
In the international world,
Mr. Lippmann is well known as
having been secretary of the or
ganization directed by E. M.
House which prepared data for
the Peace Conference.
Now for Mr. Stallings. He
was born in Macon, Ga. He
married an illustrious daughter
of North Carolina, Miss Helen
Poteat whose father, W. L. Po
teat, is a former president of
Wake Forest college. In years
past, Mr. Stallings was pri
marily a newspaperman, "by
God."
He served in the world war
as captain of the 47th Company,
3rd battallion, 5th Marines, 2nd
Division. Disproving the theory
that Captains do not get in the
first line, Mr. Stallings lost a
leg in the front line trenches.
He saw the worst of the "cursed"
war. He now has an artificial
limb and vivid memories of that
holocaust about which he writes
so graphically because he writes
truthfully. '
Mr. Stallings now lives down
near Yanceyville trying to for
get some things and recalling
others about which he writes.
He has published one novel,
"Plumes." Among his national
ly popular-plays are "What Price
Customed To Don
Customed
Glory," "The Buccaneers,"
"First Flight" and "Deep Biv
er." Collaborating with Ander
son, he has written the motion
picture scrip for "The Big
Parade," "Old Ironsides," "The
Cock Eyed World," and others.
The world is waiting anxiously
for more and in the meantime is
seeing the first ones time and
again.

Mrs. Nash's home Friday eve
