Campus Pleases
Foreign Visitor
By MARGUERITE
WITTWER
Exclamations of delighted
surprise from Madame Albert
Jonniaux, distinguished world
traveler and wife of the Belgian
court artist, came at intervals
during the entire one-hour tour
of the University campus
Thursday afternoon last week.
Madame Jonniaux, who spoke
on World Unity; Our Part as In
dividuals at the all-campus assem
bly in McArthur court last week,
requested to be shown around the
campus after her luncheon at the
Alpha Phi house.
“How exquisite! What a perfect
setting for chamber music; it is
informal and yet it is so peace
ful. Surely you are one of the few
schools with such an auditorium?"
she said when she was shown the
school of music auditorium by
Dean Theodore Kratt of the music
school. The outdoor theater behind
the music building was viewed with
surprise and appreciation for the
old apple orchard and the poten
tialities of springtime beauty.
Campus Architecture
The contrasting colors in the
marble of the interior of the li
brary were praised as being par
ticularly lovely and Madame Jon
niaux wanted to know where each
variety of the stone was quarried.
The entrances of the library and
the soft muted coloring and rest
ful arrangements in the browsing
make him smile

wrought iron doors of the circula
tion room.
The campus-guest became inter
ested in the name of the architect
of the buildings, E. F. Lawrence,
dean of the school of art and archi
tecture. She seemed fascinated by
the unusual structure of the win
dowless Murray-Warner museum
of Oriental art and was escorted
through the museum by Mrs. Mar
jorie Reynolds, museum librarian.
“My husband and I have always
loved Chinese art and I do believe
that you have one of the most
splendid collections in this country.
This is one of the very few mu
seums which deals exclusively in
that kind of art and I wonder if
your students really appreciate the
great beauty which is here avail
able for them,” Madame Jonniaux,
former resident of London, Paris,
Spain and now San Francisco, com
mented.

action, who had never even at

Year’s dances held in town, but it
wasn’t ‘pretty good.’ ”
When asked how the social func
tions and customs here correspond
to Colombian consuetudes he re
plied, “Well, again they are much
the same, even our manner of dress
is similar. A few customs are dif
ferent, such as with dating when
you are required to have chap
erones. But many Americans have
an erroneous opinion about this,
for when we, what you call double
date, chaperons are not necessary.
Colombians Always Late
“Also it is always a practice to
arrive late at all parties; no one
with good manners arrives on time.
We have two or three official
dances a year given by the repub
lic, besides the private affairs.
“As for the girls, well, I don’t
know how to qualify them. I like

slice of the pie squarely in the
burbling point when one of the
sisters sat smack down on a
slice of soft lemon pie which had
been placed in her chair while
she answered the phone. Revenge
proved to be rather stickily

were filing out of the dining

better to tell what you are think

and few blondes in South America,
and you have many here, which I
like.”
Horace seemed to think the Am
erican language was quite difficult,
“When you come to South America
it is not hard for you to under
stand our language, but when we
come here, oh, it is terrible! Espe
cially to try and understand the
people who speak Spanish.
Enjoys Slang
I had the most trouble with the
word scissors, for we would pro
nounce it sceesors, and when I
tried to buy one in a drugstore,
they offered be everything from
salt to seeds. I like your slang be
cause it is so expressive, and an
other thing I enjoy is your lack of
gossip.”
Future plans are rather indefi
nite for Horace, because of the war,

but he does have many ideas, “Per
haps I will stay here for another
year and then return to South Am
erica to do some sort of city plan
ning. There is a city near the capi
tal of Colombia which I am par
ticularly interested in and maybe
that can be worked out.”
