ProfosBbr H. B. Aloxandor bf tho dopartmont of philosophy gnvo a vory Interesting and Instructive locturo on "Tho Making ot Roforonco Books," at tho regular Tuosday convocation. The locturo 1b one which ho gavo during tho Bummor session, and because of its InstructlvenesB Professor Grumann roquosted that ho give It again. Tho speakor'B romarks were con fined to tho subject ot dictionaries ntlrl nnnvnlnnnrltns na nnnndAil tn Hin great flold of reference works. On thlB phaso of tho work ProfesBor Alex andor was wollquallflod to speak, as ho has, for somo years, been an edi tor of tho Now Webster's Dictionary, recently published. It was brought out that the modern dictionary and en cyclopedia Is but a growth of the meager efforts of many centuries ago. Tho beginning of European civili zation mnrkB tho first stop towards tho formation and Bystematization of tho world's knowledge and thought. In fact tho philosophers of this time wore but encyclopedia writers and tho roBult ot-tholr labors, which resembled In Bplrlt and purposo, tho work of tho Greek and Roman phlloBophors, has formed the basis of tho modern edition. First Publication. The first publication, of which there Is any record, is tho Chamber's Cyclo- . pedia,j or Tho Universal Dictionary of Arts and Sciences, produced In 1728. This was followed by works of Bro chaus, 179G, tho Brlttanlca in 1771, Chambers .(Edlnborough) 18G0-C8, and the modern American encyclopedias. Although undergoing frequent radi cal changes dictionaries date back to the seventeenth centry. The first one was by John Cury In 1708. Bailey's work of 1721 formed tho background for Dr. Johnson's "Dictionary of the English Language" which was pub lished in 1705. Noah Webster published his famous dictionary In 1828, It being for tho most part an Americanized enlarge ment ot Johnson's work. This since has been Improved upon by subse quent editions and also by the Stand ard and Century dictionaries, although at tho prosont time, ProfeBBor Alexan der considers Webster's the greatost of all American dictionaries. Use tho Best. . In using reference books ho urged that the student use the best. In, this selection there is room for critical analysis, when one remembers that those books are but a collection of. what is found in other books, and hence the possibilities for . error are not remote. -They are at best but traditionary, their oulcloncy resulting from repeat ed editings and revisions. In their making, authoritative results aro striven for. yet ono should not be slavish In his effort to seek authority, for everyone Is to some extent an authority on such a matter as lang uage. In this connection ho said, by way ot conclusion, that any use of a word which makes your meaning clear, and does no offend your reader or draw undue attention to the word, is correct, providing, of course, that It conforms to the analogies bf the language. .
