ARCHITECTURE FOR
FRESHMAN LECTURE
rirst Year Students Hear Profes
sor Dame in Interesting Talk
on History of Architecture.
Architecture is one of those lines
, human endeavor which edjects the
imis of the builders." stated Prof. W
v Dann in his Freshman Lecture on
the history of Gothic Architecture.
It is often true that agists are no
appreciated by the world in genera!
ntil they have been dead for u cen
" or two," said Professor Dann."
d' it Was that fact which gave "Go
thic" architecture its name. The crit
lc9 who lived immediately after the
era of Gothic architecture did not
think much of the handicraft of their
ancestors and called it barbarous.
That would hardly do for a name so
they took the word "Gothic" and at

tached it to this . stylo of work to
signify that it was in their estimation
the crudest sort of building. The name
has been kept ever since, though not
to express the original idea.
The era of Gothic architecture was,
according to Professor Dann, from
1100 to 1500 A. D., approvimately.
This type of work beganrather ab
ruptly and ended even more so. In
fact, there is at least one large cath
ederal which was begun in the Gothic
style and nearly finished when that
style grew out of fashion and the un
finished part was never completed.
Before 1100, A. D., churches were
commonly made of wood in a conven
tional style. These wooden structures
proved so troublesome to the inade
quate fire departments of those days
that men looked around for a substi
tute. The Romans had once used stonj
for their structures, but they used it
in such a lavish manner that the men
of medieval times had no desire to
copy their methods. Instead, they
Inaugurated a pointed arch which
could be readily adjusted to any
width; and used buttresses to support
these arches instead of constructing
the twenty foot thick wall used by the
Romans. The result was the Gothic
Cathedrals and other buildings o1"
France, England and Germany.
"The Germans created a crime
against the world which can iievor
1 1 be forgiven when they bombarded tho
cathedral at Rheims," declared Pro
fessor Dann. This building was once
considered one of the three most beau
tiful Gothic structures in the world
but the Gegmans bombarded the struc
ture so much, that part of it collapsed
and the whole building is mutilated
and weakened. Germany itself has
very few specimens of good Gothic
art, although one or two cathedrals
there can stand comparison with the
French and English creations.
Gothic architecture, especia: after
the early period, is marked with r
seemingly inexhaustable supply of in
tricate designs. Their stone work
seems almost like lace, and no two of
the hundreds of different works arc
the same. "Many of these," said Pro
fessor Dann," are now Used in mod
ern structures and work of all rind.
and there are plenty more to use."
Numerous illustrations were given
to the lecture by means of slides
showing drawings and photographs
of buildings from England and France
where the finest specimens of this
architecture may be found.

BOXING BILL
IS A SUCCESS
SECOND LEGION FIGHT SHOW
IN LINCOLN GOES BIG.
Main Bout is a Draw
Lamson and Walker Both wia-
Battle Between Dean and Wheelock
is Real Classic.
(From The Mid-West Veteran.)
The second American Legion box
ing show in Lincoln went over big,
giving the post a reputation which
should pack the house at all future
events. Due to the cold weather and
bad roads the attendance was not so
good as at the first show, but several
hundred dollars gravitated to the post
treasury. ,
The big bulk of the credit for tho
success of the venture goes to Bob
Harley who neglected his business to
make the Legion affair pan out. Paul
Creedan., who handled the tickets also
put in a lot of work. Nip Westoer,
Al Larrivee, Doc Fry, Harry Brown
and Charley Dake helped out, and
many other members put their shoul
ders to the wheel.
The big event of the show was the
heavyweight fight between George
Lamson, Indian boxer of the Lincoln
post, and Hughie Walker of Kausas
City, also a Legionnaire. Walker was
touted as the champion of the middle-
west and local fans were doubtful of
the Indian's ability to handle him.
The men put up a snappy battle
with honors varying from one to an
other and furnishing the spectators
with plenty of excitement. In the
tenth round Walker made a desperate
attempt to land a knockout, but the
Indian stood up to him and the battle
ended with both boxers exhausted but
swapping short-arm punches at close
range. The referee called it a draw.
which seemed to satisfy the cro"vd.
It developed afterward that Lamson
sprained a kunckle during the third
round, and had to depend entirely on
his left. Local fans are confidant
that he can put Walker away, al
though the latter is credited with
being a tough fighter.
The ten round go between Kid
Wheelock of Lincoln and Frankie
Dean of Kansas City, lightweights,
was a boxing classic. The little Kan-
sis Citian took the aggressive from
the first, with a burst of speed and
hitting ability which he kept up for
the entire battle. Wheelock put up
a game fight but was outclassed by
Dean, who was given the decision.
In the preliminaries Battling
Strayer of Lincoln, lightweight flash,
and Frankie Selders, welterweigit,
put on a fast five round exhibition,
Strayer having the best of every
frame. Sid Soklyn, Lincoln, and Kid
French, Central City, went five rounds
to a draw in a rather tame ma'ch.
Many in the crowd hooted the de
cision, thinking French should have
won.

Prizes, a large silk American flag,
a copy of Irvlng's "Life of Washing

Citations commending the zeal it tho
contestants to make themselves bet
ter potential, citizens and truer
Americans were given to each school
room submitting manuscripts.
After a moving picture showing the
battlefields of France as they now
are and America's forest of crosses
there and patriotic songs by a chorus
and a male quartet, Legion speakers
outlined tho Legion's plan of Ameri
canization in schools and urged
parents to see that every facility was
given their children for tho study of
American history, civil government
and the honor due the flag. They
quoted from a report of an American
ization sub-committee of the post that
recently made a survey of all schools
surrounding Elgin which shows that
such facilities are not entirely "de
quate. The entertainment closed with a
tableau representing the former serv
ice personnel of the army and navy
saluting tho flag while a chorus of
nine women sang the national anMiem.
