Bernard Shaw
Refuses Nobel
Prize of $35,000
Author Suggests Amount |
Strengthen Literary
Relationships
George Bernard Shaw, English
writer, was recently announced »s
winner of the Nobel prize for litera
ture. He accepted this honor which
was conferred upon him but the $35,
000 which is included, he felt could
be used to a better advantage. His
suggestion was that it go toward
a foundation to establish closer lit
erary relations between the British
Isles and the Scandinavian coun
tries.
Shaw has stimulated thought on
many things. One might even say
that he prepared the way for H. L.
Mencken, although Shaw, in pre
senting his ideas in plays, is more
clever than Mencken, who express
es himself by way of his essays. ’ ’
Dr. C. V. Boyer, head of the de
partment of English, answered the
reporter’s question on the influence
of the new Nobel prize winner.
“Yes, Shaw is very clever to
succeed in presenting so-called
propaganda in an entertaining way.
He can make people laugh while
he is lashing them. And the remark
able thing about Shaw’s skill ui
that his propaganda has not spoiled
his plays.
“Shaw has probably not been
influential in the technical form
of the drama. He is no innovator of
forms. 4
“He is not a questioner of fun
damental morality; rather he satir
izes the convention in which it is
expressed. Carlyle did something of
the same kind but in a different
manner. ’ ’
“Shaw is a great European fig
Vf, one of the few English writers
to attain this standing, and the
award of the prize is deserved,”
in the estimation of Professor
Smith.
“The popular idea that Shaw is"a
mere salesman of ideas and a satir
ist is a mistake,” continued Mr.
Smith. “Shaw is that, but he is
also one of the best of stage me
chanics. His wit also carries across
his long-winded discussions on mor- i
als.”
Shaw is one of the three or four
recent authors • who has had the
most considerable influence on the
moral ideas of the times, thinks
Professor Smith. He added that
Shaw has been a persistent propa
gandist and, although having held
only one minor office, has been
much more active politically than
people in the United States appre
ciate. Shaw’s works also carry well
in translation into other languages
although he loses a little of his
firecracker style, in the opinion of
Professor Smith.
“Shaw also deserves the prize
because he has been a man of re
markable public courage, especially
during the World war,” concluded
Professor Smith. “He was one of
the few authors not carried away
by war hysteria,”

gies from going through the line,”
said Williams.
Coach Promises Fight
Coach John J. McEwan was the
last of the speakers. The eaptain •
said he purposely kept the Oregon
team away from the raliy because
what he said generally didn’t have
very much effect upon them. “I
went to O. A. C. today and the field
was just as wet as ours, if not wet
ter. The team is ready for the game
and determined to win. The O. A.
C. game generally marks the success
or failure of a season and we hope 1
to win. All the players are in good .
condition except Woodie. We’re ■
going in the game as underdogs but -
we’ll fight to the last ditch,” said I
the coach. I
A dance by Ed Cheney, a song by
Joe Lucas and several piano solos (
by Abbie Green ended the rally to
gether with the singing of “Mighty
Oregon.”
Train Urged for Trip 1
To O. A. C. by Director
A letter has been received from
W. A. Kearns, director of athletics
and physical education at O. A. C.,
encouraging the students to make
the trip to the game by train, as
there were a number of serious ac
cidents in making the trip last year.
“In the past three years,” Mr.
Kearns writes, “some of us on the
O. A. C. campus who have safety
of students during their activities
more especially in mind, have be
come convinced that the logical pro
cedure from every standpoint is for
ns to encourage the students to
make these trips by train.”
Landing platforms and cinder
walks have been constructed be
tween the track and Bell field, and
every other means possible have
been taken to encourage this meth
od of transportation.

rDon’t Stop Believin
Advice of St
By RUTH NEWTON
“You know,” said the modishly
attired co-ed, “I really believed in
fairies—while you were telling
about them! ”
Maintaining her beautiful and
animate calm, Miss Ella Young,
noted Irish poet, replied quietly,
“You don’t have to quit believing
in them when I quit talking about
them.” And the astonishing thing
about it was that we all realized
quite suddenly that she actually
meant it. Up to this point, we had
all thought her to be doing some j
highbrow and symbolic fooling. Po-1
lite murmurs went around the j
group. There was, obviously, no de- J
cent answer one could make to this
amazing person, who had addressed
the University assembly a few hours
before.
And yet everyone in the room waS
drawn irresistibly toward the chair I
where this strangely vivid woman
sat. She had spoken of one of the
Irish poets as “being capable of
looking uniquely like no one else.”
Certainly she possessed that quality.
Her white hair, drawn back severe
ly, revealed a face that changed
subtly from one radiating with Irish
good humor, to the face of a mystic,
a seeress. She had just finished tell

g in Fairies9 is
riking Irish Poetess
ing us some of the old Irish folk
tales, intermingled with "Bits of
Gaelic verse. We felt that she had,
in these stories, revealed herself.
We wanted to talk to her. But she
had relapsed into the baffling mys
tery- that she is, although she was
gracious to everyone, and talked
impartially to all who came.
That she believed in fairies sud
denly seemed to me of small conse
quence, for she has something far
more important than that. She is
essentially a mystic, and in Amer
ica, she is like the proverbial square
peg in the round hole.
“In Ireland,” she said, “you never
ask foreigners about themselves. It
is impolite to display curiosity, but
if they ask about anything, you
more than go out of. your way to
show them.” But Americans are
frankly curious, and I think she
understood it.
“America needs mysticism,” she
said. “Poetry is not taken seriously
by any great number of people here.
The old Celtic people were the only
ones ever to put a poet on the same
plane with a king. Long ago there
was the king \ th certain rights
and income, and there was the king’s
poet with the same rights and in
come.”

er is to play an additional number,

Cesar Francke. This first concert
will be given December first, in, the
music auditorium.
For the other two of the series
of concerts, John Stark Evans, as
sistant dean of the school of music,
and George Hopkins, professor of

December 1, 2, 3
A professional company, playing
in the old John Street theater in
New York. April 16, 1787, produced
'‘Contrast,” the first American com
edy written bv Rovall Tyler, an
American author. The play proved
successful from the first and was
later produced in Boston and Phila
delphia theaters.
This play has been selected by
Miss Florence E. Wilbur, head of
the drama and play production de
partment, as the first long play of
the term to be put on by the Guild
Theater Players, December 1, 2 and
3.
“Contrast” is of special signi
ficance in introducing to our stage
the character of “Jonathan,” the
shrewd yet uncultivated type of
New England farmer, which has
since become known as the “Stage
Yankee.” The central theme of
the play is the contrast between na
tive and foreign manners. For the
first time in the Northwest, the
customs and theatrical atmosphere
of two centuries ago will be brought
before an audience.
For a long period in the nine
teenth century the play was not pro
duced extensively but was revived
in 1912 when it was given in con
nection with a three-day pageant
at Brattleford, Vermont. Cornell
university gave “Contrast” as the
opening production in its new stu
dent .theater last fall. The play was
so successful that it was repeated
in the winter.
The author of the play, Royall
Tyler, was a graduate of Harvard.
He served as aide-de-camp during
the Revolutionary war and later in
Shay’s rebellion. ,
