The intimate . story of Wood row Wilson's break with George Harvey is related by Dr. Philip Alexander Bruce, well known historian, in one of the chapters of the twQ.new volumes just. re leased by the University Press. Colonel Harvey,- it is recalled, was the first to bring Wilson's j name forward publicly as that of a man eminently fitted for the office of president. Irf re lating the events connected with the abrupt termination of their friendship, Dr. Bruce sheds a new light on this famous epi sode. Presented in biographical form and entitled The Virginia Plutarch, the two books were written to' present "not a series of detached characters," but a continuous narrative of deeds from the Colonial era to the present time and to give "the full amazing sweep of Ameri can history as it was shaped by 33 eminent Virginians." "Dr. Bruce presents this im pressive array of Virginia pat riots with a full sense of their national and indyidual impor tance," the University Press 'an nouncement' states. "They rep resent every stage of the win ding and keeping of America They are all Virginians, but hot Virginians alone, for they belong to America, and m many in stances to the world. They have often and in many places been given their separate stories, but no one has before brought all these great figures together as Mr. Bruce does here with a full sense of their individual and national importance, and writ ten out of a profound knowledge of American history." "Biography and history have lately devoted themselves so much to idol-shattering, it is both a relief and a pleasure to find at least one good historian who can still see men in Plu- tarchian proportions. JNor is it anything but natural that, con fronted with such an array of fine figures, he should believe that history may often,, if not always be the essence of in numerable biographies. Cerr tainly no recent book so ably demonstrates . both these attitudes." Dances Will Be Feature Of Annual Thanksgiving Recess -3 German Club Cards German Club membership cards and tickets for the Thanksgiving dances may be obtained from Will Yarbor ough at the S. A. E. House this evening from seven until nine, and Wednesday after noon from three until five. -Although cards may be ob ' " "d at the door during the n embers are urged to CaS t! :r cards early in or der rr :;:t delay and con fusion.
