Williamson Author of Book
Ranking High With Scholars
umie of University Will Penetrate Remote
Corners of Europe; ‘The Donne
Tradition,’ Title of Work
1CA^ Villard hall, on the University of Oregon campus, comes a
book of such genuine value and significance that it ranks as one
of the most important books that has ever been written in that bat
haunted building. This book is “The Donne Tradition,” written by
George Williamson, assistant professor in the English department, and
came off the Harvard Press this spring.
“While the book was not calculated to sweep the nation,” Pat
Morrisette, instructor in English and author, said, commenting on it,
even in our own country it should have an immediate success in those
rare places where poetry and scholarship are human and real. The
i book carries the name of the Uni-.)
I versity in remote corners of Eng
& land, France and Italy, where men
like Read, Legouis (the younger),
and Praz are engaged in revalu
ating Donne in the light of a
changing age and of a growing in
terest in metaphysical poetry.
‘‘The difficulty of interpreting
Donne is well known, and this dif
; ficulty is complicated by the fact
that Donne had a great and cu- i
rious mind. Williamson has
thought out these difficulties with
such strength and simplicity that
the inarticulateness and obscurity
of Donne's packed style become
lucid, clear.
“Williamson's work is individual
and carries the stamp of his own
mind. To,him does not belong the
art of borrowing opinions to
thread upon a thin scaffolding of
( meager thought. He rebukes con
clusions of men like Courthope
with more accuracy than offense;
he corrects a long-standing error
of Dr. Johnson, and he does all
this in the interest of good taste,
and with such a sure accuracy,
and with such trenchant simplicity
that there is hardly a page of the
book that does not bear the hard,
clear mark of scholarly precision. I
blended and softened by a genuine
style.”
Williamson’s book begins with a
description of Donne and the mor
bid aura of death which he calls
“Donne’s Shroud.” He gives the
nature of the tradition, its back
ground, development, decline, and
extinction in the reaction which
followed Dryden. The trinity of
Donne's genius (his mysticism, his
logic, and his passionate intensity)
is traced through the century; and
,( as for the genius of Donne, he
IF presents it completely—from the
rose to the worm in the rose with
its sharp temper and morbid fla
F vor.

Heilig—“The Green Goddess.”
He sang, they heard, he con
quered, might well apply to Lau
rence Tibbet who gives us "The
Rogue Song” this week at the Mc
Donald theatre, for each audience
falls harder than the preceeding
for his matchless baritone. All in
technicolor, this MGM offering is
bringing glory to the box office as
well as giving the public what it
wants in the way of artistic cin
ema production. And, by the way,
Laurel and Hardy are still “cry
ing” about something or other.
George Arliss, that fascinating
exponent of dramatic expression,
need never fear of public disap
proval, for he has the real some
thing that is genuine, and the pub
lic knows it. He is subtle, shrewd,
polished, and a whole page of such
complimentary adjectives in his
new production "The Green God
dess,” which deals with vengeance,
cruel, hard and unrelenting.
Now to turn to something light
er, w-e have “The Taming of the
Shrew" at the Colonial. Mary and
Doug haven’t forgotten any of
their old tricks and the comedy
situations are quite hilarious.
“Framed” at the Rex proves
that the public still likes crook and
mystery stuff. Evelyn Brent, hero
ine, is more than a match for any
male in the caste.

PREXY HITS ANNUALS
Annuals as memoirs of college
years are fast becoming obsolete
in the opinion of Girtcn Viereck
president of the Associated Stu
dents of the University of Wash
ington. Viereck, speaking before
the assembled executives of the
Pacific Coast Student Presidents
association, held last week on the
northern campus, voiced the opin
ion that students year books ne
longer create interest and cannot
pay for themselves.
Tom Stoddard, Oregon proxy, is
reported by the University oi
Washington Daily to have outlinec
the policy of yearbook subscrip
tions used at Oregon for the help
of other publications. Stoddard
however, spoke against the P. X. P,
news bureau, saying that it was a
waste of energy to attempt to ex
change news dispatches between
schools, since the exchange student
papers themselves served the pur
pose.

CO-ED SMOKING ARGUED
Up at the University of Wash
ington they seem to be having
quite a time deciding whether or
no the fair sex may be officially
deemed cigarette smokers. The
ban on smoking among the co-eds
which came up for consideration
recently seems, in all probability,
on the verge of death. The admin
istration is to be the official arbi
trater, but printed statements of
the Dean of Women indicate that
no attempt will be made to dictate
to the students.

To Be Awarded Soon
Numerals for freshman athletes
will be received and distributed not
later than Tuesday of examination

president, announced yesterday.
The delay in making the awards.
Bay explained, was occasioned by
the fact that the first shipment of
numerals received was unsatisfac
tory in quality, and has been sent
back to the manufacturers to be
replaced. They are being made in
San Francisco, and will be rushed
to the campus as soon as they are
ready.

Group Will Acquire New
House, Manager Says
A program for expansion to in
clude not only most of the foreign
students on the campus, but also
American students interested in
international affairs, to be carried
out during the summer by active
members of the present group, was
outlined last night by Arthur
Markewitz, house manager of the
International club.
A corporation of backers for the
club was recently organized under
the direction of the University ad
ministration.
Working under the supervision
of Dr. Victor P. Morris, president
of the new corporation, Karl W.
Onthank, secretary, L. H. Johnson
treasurer, and Burt Brown Barker,
legal adviser, the group, which in
its present form is exclusively a
living organization, plans to admit
associate members, thus broaden
ing its field of contacts to that of
a campus club.
The plan of expansion. Marke
witz said, will be that now in use
at Columbia University and the

clubs are sponsored and financed

The program of the group for

the production of the International

to acquaint the foreign students
with the people of Eugene, and en

Charles G. Hurrey, national Y. M.
