GREEK MYTHS . ARE INSPIRATION PROP. DUNN SHOWS HOW THE ANCIENTS INSPIRE CARTOONISTS. WAR GOD IS FAVORITE Hercules, Hydra, Clio and Cron ins Also Liked by Artists. Lecture Explains Source of European Cartoons. “All efforts to steer entirely clear of Latin and Greek in newspaper work will be found in vain, though you may try to do it,” said Prof. Dunn Friday afternoon in a lecture on “How Cartoonists Treat the An cients.” “If we look at the cartoons, a large element of Latin and Greek mythology can be found in a very great number of them. Indeed, many of the cartoons are almost un translatable without the help of the classics, which also include prehis toric and biblical stories,” further stated Prof. Dunn. Fifty-eight cartoons clipped from the Literary Digest, which had their inception and theme from the class ics, were thrown on the screen, many having been taken by the Digest from foreign papers which, Prof. Dunn explained are more genteel and well formed in their cartoons than we are. Mars, the Greek deity of war, is a very frequent figure in cartoons, said iProf. Dunn; as well as Hercules, the Hydra of many heads, Cronius father time, Clio the muse of history, Boreas the north wind, Midas the man with the golden touch, Pegasus the winged horse, Perseus his cap tor, and many lesser deities, their aeeds, stories or tne trojan war, ana Argonaut expeditions. Prof. Dunn also said that the per sonification of the deities had been a fertile source for the personification of abstract things among us, as jus tice, liberty and destruction. A Berlin cartoon, explained by i rof. Dunn as giving the German idea of our relations to Japan, repre sents the United States as the son si xipolio driving the chariot of the ~un, which is armed by cannons, over the Japanese islands, bulldozing all the people. in an English paper of several ^ears ago, Jupiter was represented as Koosevelt, seated upon the clouds, saying to the American eagle, “Now listen to me—keep quiet and don’t flap.” A French cartoon, said by Prof. Dunn to be inspired by dispute be tween England and the United States over the canal duties, shows John Bull and Uncle Sam quarelling over the winged and snake-entwined staff of Mercury, which should represent Peace.

(The Emerald will offer a cash prize to any student who can trans late this essay into modern English): Yet, when all is said and done, there still remains this thing to be attended to, and I am very sur^ that you will see the thing that I am try ing to make you understand, and that you will not attempt to try and coerce me into telling that man over there any of those things that I do not want to tell, though there will of course be a few of those things here and there that can in no way detract from any of those things that I have been trying to tell you for so long a time. Now, on -top of all this, I fell sure that you will see to it that there will soon be a few of those things though, when this is said and done, if there still remains a few of these men, I am willing to tell you that there will never be any of those men here that I am not willing to handle. • But, of course, if you persist in doing this there will soon be a few of those men at this place who are willing to do it, and in that event, I am unwilling to'tell you that there will never be anything done. Now, there will be some other things that I will soon want you to attend for me, and when the time comes I will feel perfectly free and willing and able to call upon you for anything that I may hapepn to want along this line. Now, there will doubtless be a few things that I will need ere long, so you must hold yourself in readiness to do anything I may happen to call upon you to do, or see anything I may want you to see, or be any place I may happen to want you to be.
