Crown llim Willi
Many Crowns
The colossal to-do which our Bri
tish cousins mo making over the
impending coronation is virtually
incomprehensible to. ccremoiiyless
Americans. The pageantry and
splendor seem only Billy and dull
to us. Yet there must be some
thlng to It the kind of a some
thing that cements a great Empire
together and Inspires deathless
loyalty In the poor and humble as
well as the rich and powerful. The
spirit of the coronation Is the spirit
of a nation-deep reverence, not for
a person, but for an instltitfton,
the Crown.
To all of this homage most of
us think "So what?" But we can
take a sort of "mental reservation"
Interest In the more obvious as
pects of the event. For example
the distinction of rank through de
tails of the coronation robes Is in
Itself a masterpiece of tradition.
The "Weekly Illustrated Corona
tion Souvenir" describes in detail
the costumes of the peers and
peeresses --who will be among the
7.700 privileged to view the cere
mony in Westminster Abbey.
Salient facts:
Offense Not Rank.
"Precedence and dignity play
an Important part in the Cor
orations. Each rank has its dis
tinctive dress and coronet. The
Archbishop of Canterbury, the
Lord High Chancellor, and the
Archbishop of York constitute a
kind of distinctive belt of sep
aration between the Royal Fam
ily and the general nobility. The
Archbishop of Canterbury is the
first peer of England next to the
Royal family, preceding not
only the dukes, but all the offi
cers of the Crown." It is he, of
course, who annolnts and crowns
the King.
"Lord High Chancellor is the
second peer of the Kingdom, anil
the Archbishop of York the third.
Practically the degrees of Peerage
are five: Dukes, Marquesses,
Earls, Viscounts, and Barons. To
these may be added a sixth: those
Archbishops and Bishops who are
entitled to a scat in the House of
Lords." The femininp of the
ranks, in order, are: Duchesses,
Marchionesses, Countesses, Vis
countesses, and Baronesses.
Ermine, Trains, Coronets.
The rnstnnies indicate rank bv:
jr-jnm:
lr wAt I I I::
ripJM
the width of miniver pure (ermine
minus the tails) on the cape of the
mantle, the rows of ermine "pow
dering" the cape, the differences
in the coronets, and, for the peer
esses, the varying lengths of the
train. To be specific, from a
noblewoman's point of view: the
capo ol P- duchess' mantle is
powdered with four rows of er
mine, edged round with five inches
of miniver pure. Her train is two
yards Von the ground" and her
coronet, like her husband's, is "a
circle of gold (silver gilt) chased
us jewelled and set round' with
eight strawberry leaves." And un
derneath the mantle he wears
full court dress, without the train,
cil or feathers. "The gown must
be white or slightly cream-colored,
with lace embroidery, or gold or
silver brocade."
The coronation itself has sev
eral factors interesting to the
feminine mind. When at long
last the king is crowned, in
thronized and has received the
homage of all the peers, from
his brothers on down "I do
become your liege man of life
and limb, and of earthly wor
ship; and faith and truth I will
bear unto you, to live and die,
against all manner of folks. So
help me God") only then does
the queen receive the crown of
"Glory, Honour and Joy." And
as the queen is crowned all the
peeresses put on their coronets.
In addition, the king is always
crowned seated, not on his
throne, but on a coronation
chair, while the queen is crowned
kneeling before the altar steps.
The Coach of State.
The "elaborate and unwieldly"
tate coach, used by the king and
queen going to" and from the
ceremony, is a garishly gilded
affair "as long as an ordinary
bus," and is hauled by "eight
trong horses, pulling half a ton
apiece." It was built by George
111 in 1761 at a cost of about
7,000 pounds.
Other "facts, figures and curi
osities" include:
Among the Americans specially
missioned to attend the coronation
is Nebraska's General John J.
Pershing.
Nearly 1,000,000 yards of ma
terials will be used in hangings,
.draperies a and canopies in the
abbey, the biggest item of which
is 24,000 square yards of leather
cloth. Cloth of gold costing 14
pounds a yard will be used for
the tanopy to be held over the
king and queen at the corontion.
A Big Preventative Ounce.
"The Metropolitan Police will
have the biggest job in their,
history on coronation day. Ten
thousand uniformed men will be
on duty at the front and back
of the crowds who will line the
six and a half mile long pro
cess'onal route. ("St. John am
bulance men are to be stationed
at five yard intervals along each
side of the coronation route.
They will include 60 surgeons,
500 officers, 5,000 N. C. O.'s
and men, 165 nursing officers,
1.400 sisters.. There will be 35
dressing stations.")

In University hall, will bo' tho elec
tion of tho eight holdover mem-
bora of tho body. From about 20
Juniors now sitting In the council
meetings, eight will bo selected to
compose the nucleus of the as
sembly for next year.
Scheduled to get under way im
mediately after President Arnold
Levin calls for order, tho election
battle will probably tako up the
entire hour session. According to
several members now on the coun
cil, moro interest and enthusiasm
is being shown in the election than
in many previous years. One mem
ber of the council credited the po
litical reforms, which will come to
a vote before the student body in
tho April 13 election, for the un
usual interest.
Eight Posts Open.
Four men and four women will
be elected. From the eight elect
ed, the officers for next year will
be elected. The election will be by
nomination and secret ballot.
Also on the political slate this
week are filings for the Ivy Day
orator. Although up to the pres
ent time no nominees have filed
their names, several are expected
before Friday, the final day that
nominations may be filed. Faction
meetings have been held during the
past week but no announcements
have been made as to the names of
the Ivy Day candidate of either
party. Although there were evi
dences of a third party entering
the competition in this election, no
Indications have yet been revealed.
Following the nominations for
orator only a few days will' remain
until the early spring election. De
clared by the Student Council to
be a general election since the po
litical faction measure will appear
on the ballot, voting will also in
clude the student nomination for
members of the Innocents society.

Thurston Phelps, pictured on the

ing East- visiting the easy-going
West.
His ability as a comedian, both
on and off the stage, is well known
the length and breadth of the
campus, perhaps even as far West
as the ag campus. Altho hard to
imagine him as a supposedly
somber judge after creating a
near panic with his wicked hof

Phelps will prove his versatility
as a true comedian in this new
role.
Kermit Hansen, pictured on the
right, brings a new face to the
Temple, but not to Kosmet
audiences as he was a member of
the Beta quartet in the fall show.
As a divorcee resting after the
ordeal of recently receiving her
final decree, Hansen plays the
part of Mrs. Van Fleet to perfec

that can be injected into lazy dude

feeling ten years younger than
her age is set loose among a
crowd of rough and ready cowhands.
