Chicago Art institute Has New Librarian Miss Etheldred Abbott, a gradu- ate of Vassar College, has been ap— pointed Librarian of Ryerson and Burnham Libraries of the Art In— stitute of Chicago. She is to take the place of Miss Sarah L. Mitchell, resigned, who was with the Libra- ries for the past 14 years. Miss REVE‘ WS TRAMPING ON “PE llilarry Kemp Garden City Publishing Co. Autobiographical narratives are usually an interwoven chain of outstanding events in the life of some famous or notorious person- age; these last few years have seen a trend away from this convenv tional style toward one of sincer~ ity. Modern writings of this nature are tending to furnish a frank, complete, and unglosscd ver- sion of the lives of men that have had interesting, unique careers; a national reputation is no longer a prerequisite, but merely the appeal of the tale. Such a piece of work is ”Trampling on Life," by Harry Kemp. Kemp is, to almost everyone, an unknown personage. After reading the book, you perceive he is merely a vagabond poet, a sometimes tramp, and 'in general, no one of vast importance. But the story of his life is one of the most vivid, interesting and unusual that I have read. Kemp was connected with some of the various groups throughout the country that we dub as ”queer." From his narrative, we can learn a little of their side of the story; the presentation is accurate, can— did, and appealing, having none of the atmosphere that invariably pervades a similar topic in the commercial newspaper writings. The fellow is quite a traveller, for we find him active in three difl'er- ent groups of these freenthinkers. The underlying appeal beneath the whole narration is the reader’s curiosity to find out whether the man will succeed in his ambition, for he has early resolved to become a great poet. Yet when you follow him through his vicissitudes, from jail to college, from Australia to ry Kansas, doubt as to his success floods your mind. The book is flavored by a lack of reticence; details are revealed with utter frankness that might seem out of place in an autobiography of the older nature. But in these Abbott has served in the” Art De— partment of Wellesley College, at Princeton University, and at the University of Cincinnati.

The an— gered electricals rushed the out— numbered civils, causing them to make a hurried retreat. This was the last stand of the civils in the alley because when they returned the order for their evacuation was already posted. The fight was a culmination. of a long—existing difference of opinion occasioned by the civils obstructing the passage of the electricals to their drafting rooms through the civil alley. “I am free, take me,” is the motto of the South Kokomo Times, a new four—page weekly community newspaper, established by Claude Hutson, a sophomore at Indiana University last year. The paper has a sports section, school notes, theatrical reiews, ra— dio programs, weather forecasts, a society column and a column of personals. The paper contains an editorial by Hutson and a column known as “From other Pens” and another as “Bits 0’ Fun.” Only 40 students attended Indi- ana university in the year of 1829— 1830, according to statistics filed in the oflice of the registrar at Bloom— ington.

Wm Most of us came to Armour to learn something, and if one doesn’t care to learn, in fairness to him- self and others, he ought to quit school. There is a small minority, however, that is apt to be rather derisive of those who wish to get as much out of their classes as is possible. This derision, which is manifested in the form of obnox- ious noises, has become so prev- alent of late that it promises to kill all the interest that might or- dinarily be shown in a class. I believe we all would like to have closer connections with the faculty, and we can if the attitude of the few is changed. There is only a comparatively small number of men who seem continually to indulge in this form of amusement, but others, following the herd in- stinct, take up the cry.
