SKINNER SPEAKS
ON SUPERSTITION
IN SEMINAR TALK
Professor Declares That Super
stition in Religion Is Not
Based on Reality.
Professor Clarence R. Skinner
of Tufts College continued the
seminar on liberal religion at the
Carolina Inn last night with a
lecture on the subject: "Super
stition, . Belief andJEaith" Ac
cording to Professor Skinnerit
is important to clear up certain
misunderstandings regarding su
perstition and belief in order to
think most clearly and logically
tonight s gathering, it will be
the ninth time that the members
of the Fourth Estate of North
Carolina have gathered here to
obtain advice and comment from
authorities in their own and al
lied fields.
The North Carolina Press In
stitute, since its inception in
1916, has made itself felt
throughout the state as a train
ing school for participants in all
branches of journalism. Since
its first meeting, the University
has played host to the gather
ings. During the last two years
Duke University has joined
hands to entertain and instruct
the convened newspapermen.
Although no definite informa
tion is available, it is generally
believed that the late E. K. Gra
ham, president of the University
from 1914 to i918, was the ori
ginal sponsor of the Press Insti
tute as part of the University ex
tension program. Ever interest
ed in bringing the citizens and
activities of the state into closer

emphasized the fact that chang
ing conditions necessarily effect
a change in our ideas and that
a sound philosophy based on a
liberal interpretation is extreme
ly desirable in the youth of the
country.
A short business session was
in order immediately following
Professor Skinner's talk. A mo
tion was passed providing that
the Y. M. C. A. cabinets convey
to retiring pastor Reverend Eu
gene Olive of the Baptist church
a message of appreciation for
his cooperation with the Y. M.
C. A. ventures and a wish for his
future success. President Bill
McKee asked that any member
of the cabinets who had sugges
tions for future joint cabinet
programs would submit them to
the respective presidents for
consideration.

From the auction sale of his
collection of George Bernard
Shaw's letters, books, and manu
scripts in New York Monday,
Dr. Archibald Henderson of the
mathematics department, real
ized a total of ?7,887.
The fifty-four-page letter writ
ten by Shaw to Dr. Henderson in
1905 brought the top price of
$2,400 from Gabriel Wells, pro
fessional rare book collector.
This letter is virtually an auto
biography of the Irish play
wright and forms the basis of
Henderson's first book about
Shaw's life and works.
Bid Starts at $300
A bid of $300 started the sale
of the 12,500-word letter, which
Shaw spent thirteen days writ
ing, but the bidding rapidly
reached $2,400, for which it was
sold to Wells.
When the auctioneer was
heard to intone "Damn Bernard
Shaw and his tedious doings and
sayings" and a few non-professionals
in the audience failed to
realize that he was quoting one
of Shaw's own letters, a ripple
of laughter interrupted the regu
larity of the two-hour sale.
Collection of 204 Items
The collection consisted of
204 items and was described by
the American Art Association-
Anderson Galleries, where the
sale was conducted, as the larg
est in America. These items sold
from $3 to $950, the second
highest price.
Shaw did not meet nis Diog-
rapher until the first volume
was half completed. When he
Heard of Dr. Henderson's activ
ities, he wrote to him and re
quested a photograph, which was
sent. Shaw's reply was:
"You seem to be the man for
the job."
Henderson Visits Shaw
Later Shaw wrote Dr. Hen
derson and suggested that h(
come to England, as "it is not
desirable that the only Ameri
can now living who has not called
on me should be my biographer."
Dr. Henderson, said that he
decided to take Shaw's advice to
dispose of his collection now be
cause of the present "high in
terest", in Shaw's work.
A curtailment in the state ap
propriations for the University
of North Carolina amounting to
$330,430 has been suggested by
the budget commission as pre- -
sented by Governor J. C. B. Eh
ringhaus in his budget message
read Monday night to each house
of the General Assembly. The
University's annual appropria
tions for the coming biennium
beginning June 30, 1933, and
ending June 30, 1935 will be
$390,570, according to the sug
gested figures.
Allotments Made
Of the $721,000 appropriated
by the state for the fiscal year,
June 30, 1931, to June 30, 1932,
only $525,387 or approximately
seventy per cent, was actually
received by the University, ac
cording to figures released by
the University business office.
The amount allotted the Univer
sity for ths year 1932-33, the
present fiscal period, is $500,710.
In other words, if the recom
mended budget is adopted, the
University will be forced to op
erate through the coming fiscal
year 1933-34 on an amount re
duced $110,140 from the amount
actually used during the pres
ent year.
These reductions followed the
general scale of appropriations
recommended for state support
ed schools by the budget commis
sion. In his budget request last
month President Graham asked
for $691,924 as the state appro
priation necessary for the main
tenance of the University.
According to the report of the
budget commission submitted to
