Williamson To Publish Book on ‘Donne Tradition’ Work of English Prof. Will Be Printed by Harvard Press Another Book by Author Coijcerjis T. S. Eliot “The Donne Tradition,” a book written by Dr. George William son, of the English department faculty, has been accepted for fall publishing by the Harvard Univer sity Press. This is the first book Mr. Wil liamson has written, and it is a signal honor for him to have it accepted by the Harvard Press, according to his colleagues. It deals chiefly with John Donne as a poet, and the influence he had on the poets of the 17th century. He and his followers are called the metaphysical poets. It is fitting that the subject of John Donne should be treated in this manner at present as so many of the modern poets go back to Donne, among them Eleanor Wy lie, T. S. Eliot, Allan Tate and Hart Crane. Another smaller book, “The Tal ent of T. S. Eliot,” also written by Mr. Williamson, will be published at the University of Washington Press this fall. It will be one of the series of “Chap Books” put out at that press, and deals with Eliot as a follower of Donne. At present there is a growing interest in Donne, as shown by the number of critics and writers pre paring books on this subject. T. S. Eliot is working on one to be called the “School of Donne.” Mr. Williamson was graduated from Stanford, received his M. A. at Harvard and his Ph. D. from Stanford. He came to the Uni versity of Oregon in 1928. This year he has a class in the Donne tradition of poetry; this is not generally taught in schools over the country. Monies Evelyn Shaner, Editor at the McDonald— After reviewing such a sophisti cated continental love battle as shown in “His Glorious Night,” sighing over John Gilbert’s in creasing good looks, envying Kath erine Dale Owen's blonde beauty, and laughing at the dumb but will ing Colonel Crale, it is indeed hard to think straight. For Gil bert’s voice is ideal in the love scenes, low, persuasive, tense with emotion. AT THE REX— “Big News” at the Rex is a sure fire attraction to journalists who want to see how it’s done in a big city office. The time lapse in the whole picture is only twelve hours. AT THE COLONIAL— Lon Chaney leaves off being a criminal and turns detective in his picture “While the City Sleeps,” now at the Colonial theatre. As a New York police officer pitted against a sinister band he has a chance for much dramatic imper sonation. AT THE STATE— Jack Holt finds the people like him better in dramatic roles with an emotional appeal than in straight westerns so he made “Father and Son." Micky McBain as the son has a piping small boy voice. AT THE NEW HEILHi— A1 Jolson again sings his way into his hearers' hearts in his lat est attraction “Say It With Songs" now showing at the New Heilig theatre. Burrell Has Article Accepted by Journal Professor O. K. Burrell, of the school of business administration, has recently had accepted for pub lication by the Journal of Ac countancy Bulletin an article en titled “Capital Stock Valuation in Tax Cases." VILLARD HALL BOASTS MYSTERIOUS FOSSILS (Continued from Tagc One) few decades. There is the long sloping bench kind that used to grace the assembly hall in Villard years ago, but were a nuisance because they had to be carried downstairs and chairs put up fer examinations. Even the husky lads of yore got tired of this after a time and the benches were per manently ditched in the basement. Old wornout furnaces, bits of tools, tables, scores of wire cots and mattresses, dressers, book cases, and experiment tubes prac tically fill the remaining space.
