DR. MENO SPANN
SPEAKS ON LIFE
OF GERMAN POET
Professor Says That Goethe Was
Statesman and Scientist
As Well as Poet.
An illustrated lecture on the
life of the great German poet,
Goethe, given Wednesday jiight
in Phillips hall by Dr. Meno
Spann marked the beginning of
a series of programs to be given
at the University in celebration
of the Goethe Centennial.
Dr. W. D.' Toy, head of the
German department, introduced
Dr. Spann with a short sum
mary of the life of Goethe, an
explanation of the capability of
Dr. Spann to lecture 'on Goethe,
and a word of appreciation to
Dr. Spann and Dr. Metzenthin
for their work in preparing the
programs.
Goethe Versatile Man"
"It may seem strange," Dr.
Spann began, "to lecture in a
physics auditorium on a great
poet, but Goethe was not only
a great poet, he was a great
statesman, a great scientist, a
great thinker, and above all, a
great man. And Goethe is prob
ably the last of great men. He
came at a time when it was be
coming impossible to know
about all subjects ; Goethe was
the last man who could truly
take all knowledge for his pro
vince." Dr. Spann explained that
Goethe "had the advantage of
living at the beginning of mod
ern time, with the knowledge
that the great men of England
and France had advanced two
centuries before. Germany, as
a state, was behind the other
countries at that time in culture,
its reformation beginning about
the time of Goethe, who advanc
ed the German culture centuries.
Illustrated Lecture
During the lecture with
slides contributed by the
man Tourist Information
fice, Dr. Spann explained
the
significance of each picture,
showing the influence it had on
Goethe's life and works. Goethe
was inspired in his great works
by great loves and disappoint
ments during his life. Y In his
Faust he characterizes the first
great love he experienced in the
person of "Gretchen."
Goethe was fluent in his lan
guage and dictated to secretary
ies so rapidly that it was often
thought he was reading from
some manuscript. The slides
showed the . studies and homes
where Goethe wrote his greatest
works. His home in Weimar,
where he spent over fifty years
of his life, was shown with in
terior and exterior views. The
artistic arrangement of gardens
and the refined choice of furnish
ings prove Goethe a man of cul
ture and learning with a great
love for nature.
In conclusion, Dr. Spann gave
a short summary of Goethe's
life work, Faust, with explana
tions of scenes and incidents,

TENTATIVE PLANS
LAID FOR GOLDEN
FLEECETAPPING
Henry L. Stevens, American Le
gion Commander, Will Prob
ably Be Main Speaker.
The Order of the Golden
Fleece, leading honor society at
the University, will conduct its
annual impressive tapping April
27 in Memorial hall with Henry
L. Stevens, national commander
of the American Legion as
speaker for the occasion, accord
ing to tentative plans announced
by the organization yesterday.
Stevens has tentatively ac
cepted to participate in the cere
monies, but cannot make de
finite acceptance because of the
pressure of duties connected
with his official position as
Legion head.
Membership Is High Honor
Membership in - the Golden
Fleece carries with it perhaps
the greatest honor bestowed an
individual on H the campus. The
order selects men not only re
cognized by the campus leaders
in its group but recognized by
the entire campus as leaders and
upholders of the traditions of
the University. '
The Order of the Golden
Fleece is the oldest of college
honor societies here, having
been established in 1903 with
the purpose of promoting a
spirit of comradeship, tolerance,
and absence of snobbishness. In
addition to filling these purposes
it forms the criterion of promin
ence on the campus.
The ceremonies surrounding
the tapping have always been
considered impressive. The
tapping committee of two mem
bers, dressed in black robes,
come down from the platform to
the audience and seek out the
mn?t. wnrthv inninrs. and sp.nirvrs
j
of the University chosen by the
organization and conduct them
to the platform.
SENIOR SWEATERS
MUST BE ORDERED
BYTffiSWEEKEND
White, Sleeveless Sweaters Have
Been Selected for Senior
Regalia This Year.
Seniors are reminded that
the dead line for ordering re
galia to be worn during senior
week, May 9-14, will be tomor
row night. Orders may be plac-r
ed with Stetson "D" any time
through Saturday. A sample of
the regalia is on display in their
store window.
White, sleeveless, slipover,
Spalding sweaters, bearing a
purple seal on which is sown a
gold "32" have been selected by
the senior week committee as
this year's regalia. After the
festivities of senior week, the
seals on the sweaters may be re
moved without damaging the
sweaters.
Place Orders Today
Thus far a majority of the
graduating class have placed
orders for regalia, and the com
mittee hopes that the remaining
members of the class will co
operate in making senior week a
success by placing their orders
today. It is customary for all
students who are members of
the class of '32, whether they ex
pect to graduate in June or not,
to wear regalia. Only through
the whole-hearted support of all
members of the out-going class
