Russ Atmosphere Pervades Faculty ' Tea Bright Russian embroideries, the properly of faculty Ladies, decked the parlors of Conkling hall at the Uni versity of Nebraska college of medi cine yesterday afternoon for the Rus sian tea given by the University Woman's club. The enormous .-amovars, which also hailed from the ovlet republic, steamed with tea for the company. Mrs. Sergius Morgulis. who was born and educated in Russia, read an extremely interesting paper on Rus sian literature, in which she described the works of four great Russian novelists and showed how they ex emplled the chief characteristics of Russian literature. Pushkin, flogoi, Liostolevskl, and Turgeniegu were the quartet she discussed. Historical wealth, cosmopolitanism, intensity, realism, and sympathy were cited by Mrs. Moigu as the principal qualities of Russian litera ture. In Russia, she claimed, literature has a more Important place than In any other country, since on account of the lack of freedom of ex pression, fiction and the drama were the means, under the old regime, of propagating new political and economic theories. The fact that nearty all Russian authors spoke several languages besides their nae tlve tongue and were familiar with other literatures given to their works an unprejudiced breadth and uni versality not attained to the same detree by the literary men of other countries. A singular Intensity, due to the national temperament, pervades the work of the typical Slav author, pro ceeded the speaker. The Russian writer Is sometimes wrong but never uninteresting. Turgenlef, for ex ample, does not make you weep for the wrongs of the serf, hut he leaves you with the feeling that you want to do something about it. Just what it should be he leaves you to think cut for yourself. The Slavic In tensity expresses itself in a simplicity and realism which give, to their works a remarkable Impression of actuality. Yet the principal impression carried away by a foreigner Is one of In tense gloom, said Mrs. Morgulis. The cornerstone of Russian literature Is suffering, and Its message Is one of pity, sympathy, and love for all man kind. Faculty daughters nerved an ela borate tea In Russian costumes with enormous full sleeves gay with peas ant embroideries In the Jolllest of reds, blues, and greens,. In full dark skirts and aprons as ornate ns the blouses. Several of these costumes were Imported from Russia and others were copies* of Russian ori ginals.
