Eugene, Ore., Dec. Id— (Special)
— "Dr. Ray P. Bowen,” the re
porter asked the head of the Ro
mance language« department of
the University. “Suppose you had
been cast away on a desert Island,
with no hope of rescue for many
years., Your ship is on a reef and
you have time to get a few books.”
‘‘Ah, yes I see," interrupted
Dr. Bowen,— "and you wish me to
pick out a number of my favorite
books
"Dear me, he said, seating him
se lf In a chair, "how difficult that
is to decide. How many did you
say I am to choose?"
“Twelve or 15 is all the dory
will hold,” responded the report-
“Well, I should choose first,
‘The Cloister and the Hearth,' by
Charles Read," he said medlta-
tlvely.
“Why would you make this
choice?” broke in the reporter
“ Because," he said enthusiasti
cally, “it gives the whole spirit
of the Renaissance, and the whole
background of Europe."
“And next, let me see. There
are so many, many fine books,
how am I ever to choose? I should
take one of Daniel Defoe’s novels,
perhaps his ‘History of the
Plague,”__ lX .le. told ljL- guch a
vivid manner and In such a de

Sophocles, because of its philoso

‘Romola’ which gives us .an Idea
of the wonderful city of Florence,
the lovllest city In all Europe,"
he exclaimed fervently.
"Oh, but I am leaving out the
very finest of {ill, ‘Wutherlng
Heights,’ by Emily Bronte.
It
is a remarkable book because of
Its vigorous revelation of the
depth of the human soul, not to
be equaled In the English langu
age."
“I love the Bible, the Old Testa
ment because it has so many,
many soul-stirring episodes, and
the New Testament because of its
spiritual quality.*’
“Have you ever read ‘Aucassin
et Nlcolette?” he asked. “It Is
the lovllest love story ever writ

“I should choose ’The Return
of the Native,’ by Thomas Hardy.
I' love its atmosphere. And D.
H. -Lawrence’s ‘Sons and Lovers'

thing that «hows you how lovely
