PHILLIPS RUSSELL
EXPLAINS HOW HE
WRITES BIOGRAPHY
Author of Life of Franklin Tells
Of Efforts to Present Un
biased Viewpoint.
At the meeting of the Ameri
can Association of University
Women this week, Phillips Rus
sell spoke on "Some Experiences
in Writing Biography." His
talk-was chiefly concerned with
the composition of his Benjamin
Franklin, The First Civilized
American. He explained that
the earlier biographies had been
based on the writing of Jared
Sparks, a Unitarian minister
who believed in sacrificing the
truth to modesty and propriety.
Sparks unhesitatingly made
changes and omissions in letters
and documents pertaining to
Franklin, thereby withholding
the real facts.
In London Russell became in
terested in making a study of
original letters and documents
concerning Franklin., He con
tinued this work in Washington
and Philadelphia and out of it
grew his biography on Frank
lin. He stated that he had been
severely criticized from the
standpoint that he had tried to
defame an heroic figure of his
tory, and he read selections
from the biography to disprove
any such intention.
A history of the Chapel Hill
branch of the association since
its beginning in March 1923 was
read by Mrs. A. S. Wheeler.
MID-TERM REPORTS WILL
BE PUBLISHED MONDAY
Mid-term reports for the win
ter quarter will be posted in the
registrar's office Monday morn
ing, February 15.
This report is made out only
for students whose work is un
satisfactory at mid-term. The
mark of "W" on a course is
warning; the student must im
prove if he is to pass, while a
course marked "X" denotes that
the student's work therein is
very poor.
The fact that a course is not
listed either "W" or "X" does
not mean that the student will
pass that course, for his work
may be considered unsatisfac
tory from the time of the mid
term report to end of the
quarter.
