DR. ERNST CHOOSES DESERT ISLAND BOOKS Chaucer Is First Chofoe; Would Write Botany The reporter asked Dr. Rudolph H. Ernst what twelve books be would select from a ship’s library if he were cast on a desert island with no hope of rescue for years. “I am a far too social being to be shipwrecked on a desert island with only books to occupy me,” Dr. Ernst replied. “But if you insist I must imagine such a situation, here goes.

I’d cut out all propaganda litera ture because that, too, would seem irrelevant. I wouldn’t be interest ed in propaganda because there would be no one else there to dis cuss it with me. “Any literature that alms to establish a thesis, for instance, Brieux’s plays or ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin,' I would omit from my li brary. “There is one author I would take along—that is Chaucer.

As I think about it, I am sure I’d take voluminous books, because then I would have ; more material. » “The only reason I would like 1 to be on this desert island at all, would be because there would be no interruptions and I think I would have time to write that auto biographical novel, vfhieh I, and I think every other English instruc tor, has up his sleeve, but never finishes. One thing though,I would write for the sheer enjoyment of writing, just for the joy of using words beautifully.
