IBSEN'S "GHOST" AT
TEMPLE THEATRE
Students of School of Drama Score
Hit In Norwegian Author's
I Tragedy
The School of Drama of the Univer
sity presented "Ghosts' to a well-filled
house at the Temple Theatre last
evening. This play, indicative of its
name, is one of the most morbid trage
dies that is ever presented upon the
stage. It offers opportunities for
splendid character work and the cast
more than made good last night. Ib
sen in this work has presented a con
crete example of the "sins of the
father" being visited upon, the son.
The play is a powerful indictment of
Immorality.
The work of Essie Jones as Mrs.
Alving and Maurice Clark as Oswald,
her son, excelled that usually seen in
an amateur production. Harold Camp
hell in the role of the minister did
excellent work. The part of the
charming and joyful housemaid was
bly interpreted by Louise Dobbs,
hile Carlisle Jones, who took a part
in the play only two days ago, gave a
ery satisfactory interpretation of
Jacob Engstrand, the crippled car
penter. Professor Grummann, in speaking of
the play, said: "It was one of the
best amateur productions I have ever
8n. Miss Jones and Mr. Clark gave
some very remarkable character in
terpretations and the whole cast are
o be congratulated upon their work."

INCLEMENT WEATHER
FRIHDTO SLUFFER
Outdoor Sports and Pleasures Have
Been Abandoned While Energy
Has Been Expended on
Overdue Work
While the present inclement weather
has seemed a thing to be looked on
with disfavor and referred to with dis
gust, it really has been a blessing in
disguise.
"Fussing," tennis and all such finor
sports have had to be abandoned, but
think how many back themes are be
ing written, unknowns worked In
chemistry, and lessons studied be
cause of this very thing.
SCANDINAVIAN CLUB,
DISCUSS LUSITANIA
Considerable Feeling Aroused by Dis
cussion of the Affair Dean Sher
man Addressed the Club
Quite a bit of feeling Bordering on
the intense was the outcome of the
Scandinavian Club's attempt to dis
cuss the Lusitania affair. Dean L. A.
Sherman gave an interesting discus
sion on "Scandinavian Letters." Offi
cers were elected for the ensuing
year.
Dean Sherman told in an easy and
unassuming way of how he came to
be interested in Scandinavian litera
ture. One day, by way of diversion,
he picked up one of the productions
of the Swedish masters and began to
translate it. He became so fascinated
that he "dropped everything" to be
gin a study of the language. Special
stress was laid upon the love of na
ture which permeates all northern
literature. The speaker emphasized
the difficulty of translating Swedish
poetry into the English and still pre
serve some of the spirit, telling how
he spent a holiday in translating four
lines. The richness of Tcgner's
poetry was dwelt on especially.
At the business meeting the follow
ing officers were elected: President.
A. Jensen; vice-president, Knute E.
Carlson; secretary-treasurer, Helen
Sohlberg; Swedish press correspond
ent. Prof. J. E. A. Alexis: Norwegian
press correspondent. Prof. A. S. Rid
dervold; Danish and English corres
pondent, Bennett C. VIg. President
A R Swenson spoke of plans for the
coming year. Dean Sherman was
elected honorary member.
When the Lusitania affair came up
for discussion the storm broke. A
futile attempt was made to adjourn.
While no German supporters were
present, opinions were given ranging
all the way from exemption of Ger
many's acts, as well as America's
negligence. Professor Alexis was so
neutral that he refused to discuss
even the literary value of President
Wilson's message.

Lincoln Poster Betokens Cheer
Rain may come and rain may go,
but the brilliancy of the Lincoln
Pageant posters shines on forever.
Cadets have railed at the effusions of
Jupiter Pluvius (when they had to
drill), "fussers" have cursed under
their breath the treason, of Dame
Spring, co-eds have been dismayed by
the aqueous conditions, but despite
all this, the posters have gleamed
"like a good deed in a naughty world."
Posted at the most convenient places,
with their color and gayety they have
silently admonished the discouraged
passer-by to "cheer up." The sturdy
pioneer looks towards the future with
the same undaunted hope as he did
when he first saw our campus. The
Indians have contracted some of the
grouch of their pale-faced brothers.
Rising above all. the stately figure of
the martyred Lincoln leads a solemnity
that should indeed cause the on
looker to ponder and think.
