considerable success under his
guidance.

. partment, is to stimulate inter
est in composition work among
the freshmen and to offer a med
ium for publication of creditable
-work. The task of selecting the
compositions was stated by the
department to be a particularly
difficult one as many , excellent
themes were' considered before
the committee was able to make
a final selection. The depart
ment stated that the committee
was guided to a great extent by
the length of the compositions
under consideration, numbers of
creditable papers being reject
solely ed on account of their
length.
DURHAM ALUMNUS
PROTESTS CLOSING
MEDICAL SCHOOL
Judge James R, Patton Opposes
Abolition Reported in State
Legislature.
A protest against the move
reported to be now under way
in the legislature to abolish the
medical school of the University
of North Carolina was made
Friday by Judge James R. Pat-
ton, Jr., president of the Durham
alumni chapter. Judge " Pat-
ton's nrotest came after a re
port that the appropriation com
TYiitt.pp would recommend the
abolition of the medical school.
Judge Patton' said that such a
pruning of one of the most im
portant branches of the state's
education al responsibilities,
should and will be a matter of
grave concern to the people of
the commonwealth. "The Uni
versity will arise to this present
universal situation of distress,
he stated, "as she has always
done in the past. The responsi
bility of the stateto afford youth
the opportunity to equip itself in
the professions cannot be scut
tled," he argued.

Y. M. C. A. PLANS
TO OFFER NEGRO
MORALITY DRAMA
Racial Department Negotiates With
Clark University for Appear
ance of "Pearly Gates."
The University Y. M. C. A.,
through its department on in
terracial study and cooperation,
is negotiating with Professor
Frederick Hall of Clark Univer
sity, Atlanta, in an effort to
bring to Chapel Hill the widely
famed negro morality play,
Pearly Gates. The play, based
on the negro spiritual, was writ
ten and set to music by Profes
sor Hall. A tentative date of
May 9 has been set for the negro
presentation.
Pearly Gates has a talented
negro cast comprised of eigh
teen students from Clark Uni
versity and the Gammon Theolo
gical Seminary of Atlanta. The
production ran for a week in
Chicago and has enjoyed tremen
dous popularity. It is considered
as a masterpiece along with

Cinema's first operatic produc
tion in sound Pagliacci will be

Glee Club in cooperation with the
local theatre. A cast of one hun
dred and fifteen people and an
orchestra of sixty comprising the
best musicians in the operatic
field of New York feature Audio-
Cinema's screen innovation.
Pagliacci is perhaps the best
known of the average works of
this type. The famous Prologue
and the aria of the dramatic
tenor, closely associated with the
triumphs of the late Enrico Ca
ruso, have made the opera pop
ular with a vast public. It was
written by Ruggiero Leoncaval
lo, Italian librettist and compos
er of the nineteenth century.
Fortune Gallo, successful pro
ducer of grand operas, collabor

Dramatist And Biographer'
To Be Honored This Week
o
Celebration, Sponsored by Carolina Playmakers, Given Chiefly in
Recognition of Dr. Archibald Henderson's Latest Volume,
"Bernard Shaw, Playboy and Prophet."
o
By R.W. Madry
During the coming week the
University community will pay
formal tribute to George Ber
nard Shaw, the famous Irish wit,
and his authorized biographer,
Dr. Archibald Henderson, dis
tinguished member of the Uni
versity faculty. -
The celebration, which is
sponsored by the Carolina Play
makers, under the guidance of
Director Frederick H. Koch, is
to take the form of a Shaw-Henderson
festival.
The event is chiefly in recog
nition of Dr. Henderson's latest
volume, Bernard Shaw : Playboy
and Prophet, which represents
the culmination of twenty-nine
years of literary labor Dr. Hen
derson has put into works about
the famous Irish playwright.
With the passing of Anatole
France, Dr. Henderson regards
Shaw as the world's "grand old
man of letters," and he regards
this last volume as his principal
literary achievement to date.
Dr. Henderson says that in his
last book about Shaw, he has
brought up to date the whole
story of Shaw's remarkable ca-r
reer. Doubtless ne says tms ser
iously, for it was only last week
that he sold his valuable Shav
ian collection at public auction
in New York. The collection
brought around $8,000.
Tributes from Authorities
The climax-of the Shaw-Hen
derson Festival is set for Sun
day night, February 5, when, at
a celebration in the Playmakers
theatre, Professor Koch, presid
ing, will read tributes from dis
tinguished men and women of
letters. .
President Graham will speak
the tribute of the University,
and Percy MacKaye, celebrated
poet and dramatist, bringing
greetings from- his colleagues
throughout the nation, will speak
on "The World of the Theatre
and the Drama." Dr. Henderson

Another challenge was sound- great colleges of the north and

f ormer secretary of war and in ' tions of the middle-west. Educa

southern born man," for the fer in this depression, lAt apart
south and particularly for . from the mere bread and butter
North Carolina, to sustain its
educational institutions. He
wrote the following in a special
statement to the Raleigh News
and Observer from Cleveland :
"I am in a sense a Southern
born man. Throughout my life
I have looked with eager concern
upon the development of the
educational institutions of the
south and have increasingly be
lieved that the handicap of that
section from the prostating
aftermath of the War Between
the States could only be -overcome
by constantly raising the
educational standard and multi -
plying the facilities for higher
education there. The University
of North Carolina has been a
comfort, indeed an inspiration,
as it has .grown year by year in
dignity and efficiency until its
graduates could proudly take
their places with those of the

address on "Shaw as A World
Power."
Professor Koch has invited to
the festival a number of disting
uished writers, critics, and pat
rons of the theatre from all over
the world. Many .who were un
able to accept the invitation sent
congratulations, some of which
will be read.
An interesting feature of ' the
celebration will be an exhibit of
Shaw posters, works of art in
themselves, gathered from all
parts of the world. They promise
to form an excellent background
for the festival.
The other outstanding feature
of the week's celebration will be
the presentation by the Play
makers of You Never Can Tell,
one of ; Shaw's earliest and most
delightful comedies, next Thurs
day, Friday, and Saturday
nights, February 2, 3, and 4. ,
There is peculiar appropriate
ness in the selection of this play,
for Dr. Henderson's first contact
with Shaw, he says, was back in
1903 when he, then twenty-six
and a graduate student at the
University of Chicago, first be
came interested in Shaw after
witnessing a performance of
that comedy.
How Acquaintance Began
"Somehow , that witty comedy,
which is full of clever wise
cracks, convinced me that here
was an undiscovered genius,"
Dr. Henderson says. "I felt a
keen urge to write the life of a
man like that. I sat down im
mediately and wrote Shaw, and
after we had exchanged several
letters he agreed to let me begin
work on a biography of him."
The versatility of Dr. Hender
son has long been recognized. As
scientist literator, and historian
he has been widely acclaimed
throughout this and other lands.
He is head of the department of
mathematics in the University
