DRAMATICS SEASON STARTS THIS WEEK University Players Will Pre sent "Rollo's Wild Oat" October 23 to 25, The University Players open their tenth season with a presentation of Clare Rummer's "Rollo's Wild Oat" at the Temple Theater, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, October 23-25. The cast includes Dwight Merriam, Edwnrd Taylor, Harold Sumption, Harte Jenks, Darrell Starnes, Ber nard Maxey, Pauline Gellately, Mar tha Dudley, Ruth Schrank, Dolores Bosse, Lillian Shimmick and Henry Ley. Because of the large attend ance last season the players have added one more show a seventh this year. , 'Rollo's Wild Oat," one of last sea son's comedies which ran in New York throughout the year, is present ed for the first time in Lincoln by the Players. Four performances of the play will be given, as has been the custom of preceding years. There will be performances Thursday, Fri day and Saturday evening with a special matinee on Saturday. The curtain rises at 8:15 in the evening and at 2:30 in the afternoon. The one wild oat in the life of the circumspect Rollo is a secret ambition to play "Hamlet" It is made possible and Rollo engages an entire company to support him, including a flashy theatrical manager with, a Jewish ac cent and a fair young Ophelia. The presence of the latter proves to be a d sturbing element in Rollo's pro duction. He insists upon regarding her as his Ophelia in real life. By ingenious handling of the theme the author has dovetailed the comedy plot of "Rollo's Wild Oat" with tie advancing preparation of tha hero to play Kamlet. His en counters with the stolid and pro vincial relatives are most amusingly contrasted with the atmosphere of the theatre and glampses of the life behind the scenes. The whole plot is flavored with brightness, deftly fashioned, and h'ghly original comedy in which satire is edged with sentiment and whimsy with seriousness. Prof H. Alice Howell, director of the University Plavers. is slowly re covering from the injury she suffered ia California last summer, but does not expect to be able to return for several weeks yet.

PAYS HIGH TRIBUTE TO HOWARD RICKETTS, '94 "We forget that we are living in a comparatively safe age as far as health is concerned and that this safety is all due to a great deal of hard work on someone's part," de clared Dean Irving S. Cutter of the College of Medicine in his address to the freshman lecture sections Mon day and Tuesday on the "Progress of Medical Sciences." Dean Cutter explained how the diseases which had been rampant in the world less than fifty years ago have been brought under control through the recent discoveries of those engaged in medical research He told how surgery had been made comparatively safe after Pasteur's and Lister's discoveries of microbes and their control Tribute was also paid by the speak er to Howard Taylor Ricketts, '94, who lost his life after making a num ber of very valuable discoveries about typhus in 1910. He was working in Mexico City where he had set up a laboratory during a severe epidemic and had just completed research work showing how typhus is spread and how it could be prevented when he fell victim to the disease. Dr. kicketts had just been appoint ed Professor of Pathology r.t the uni versity of Pennsylvania at the time of his death. In memory of his val uable work the Mexican government has erected a great pathological lab oratory at Mexico City and the Uni versity of Chicago has dedicated one of its finest medical buildings to him. Previous to his work in Mexico Dr. Ricketts had spent some time in the Rocky Mountains where he dis covered that "mountain fever," which had been dreaded by tourists for so long, was spread only by the bite of a species of wood tick and that it could easily be prevented. The work in controlling yellow fever, which Dean Cutter cited as an example of medical progress, was explained in detail. "In 1793 over one-third the entire population of Philadelphia died of yellow fever and but 25 years ago it swept away one-sixth of the resi dents of Charlestown, S. C It used to be necessary to keep the port of New Orleans closed for months at a time because of yellow fever," said Dean Cutter. "Today we hear little about yellow fever. All this progress was the re sult of a United States Army com mission, headed by Walter Reed, which went to Havana to study yel low fever in 1898. "They knew that such diseases a scarlet fever and diphtheria were communicated from person to per son They set out to see if the same was tru of yellow fever After they had slept with yellow fever patients. ued the same utensils with them and rtill did not contract the disease they concluded that it was not spread in that manner "A Spaniard, Finley, had previous ly expressed the idea that yellow fev er was communicated by the b'te of a certain moqu:to and the members of the commission next set about to learn whether or not this were true They allowed themselves to be b;tten by mosquitos which had previously bitten yellow fever patients and im mediately they contracted the dis ease. "After that discovery it was easy to stop ep;demics of yellow fever. The knowledge spread to all parts of the world and yellow fever is no long er dar-gerop. "Major General Leonard Wood stated that wore lives were saved each year as a result of the work cf this commission than were lost on both sides during the entire Spanish- American War.
