Features Interlinear Translation
of Old English Expressions
By Sarah Dalton
A new Shakespeare text book
which promises to do much for
the ' study of English literature
in high schools and colleges has
been edited by Professors George
Coffin Taylor of the University
faculty and Reed Smith of South
Carolina university.
The text features an inter
linear translation of the old
English expressions into modern
understandable words.
Above the troublesome words
the modern meaning is inserted
in small unobtrusive print, al
lowing the student to read con
tinuously without stopping to
look up words, and thus preserv
ing the flow of Shakespeare's
verse. Phrases which were com
monplace to a 16th century audi
ence but which are as unfamiliar
as a,foreign language today are
made simple and realistic.
This method also makes possi
ble faster reading and leaves the
teacher and student more time
to discuss other phases of Shake
speare's works, his ideas about
life and his characterizations.
The present edition contains
four of Shakespeare's plays,
Julius Caesar, Macbeth, Hamlet,
and The Merchant of Venice
Each of them is preceded by an
informal discussion pf the his
torical background, the charac
ters, and the sources which
Shakespeare used. The inter
linear translations are also sup
plemented by brief,; readable
footnotes concerning the dness,
customs, and any Elizabethan
allusions which appear.
Although many books have
been printed with English trans
lations over Latin and Greek
works, this is the first time Eng
lish has ever been placed over
English. - -

its budget for 1936-37 which
provides for expenditures of
$3767.27. Treasurer,Frank Rog
ers announced that class asset3

Vote for Swing
Within ten minutes of the
chapel period, Johnson's swing
music had attracted the number
of juniors required by the stu
dent council to attend a budget
approving session.
President Graham attributed
the success of the first assembly
to Johnson's free music, to the
ingenuity of his executive com
mittee for publicizing the meet
ing, and to the spirit of the class
itself."
Approval of the sophomore
class budget was recently se
cured only after three unsuccess-"
f ul meetings were held.
President Niles Bond, whose
senior class has twice met unsuc
cessfully, has indefinitely post
poned attempts for another
budget session of his group.
