PROOFS POSTED
FOR DIRECTORY
Students Urged to Look Over
Lists and Make Neces
sary Corrections
Students were crowdinar Social
Science bulletin boards yesterday to
correct directory proofs. All stu
dents should see at once if their
name is included and their address
and telcphono number is correct.
This is the only assurance against
mistakes. The Directory staff is
anxious to make it as complete and
accurate as possible.
Tho proof is posted on bulletin
boards in the hall of the Social
Science building. It will have been
completed through Z by Wednesday
night and will bo taken down by Fri
day. After the proof is withdrawn
there is no chance of correcting a
mistake. The proof from A to Gl
was taken down Monday and that
from Gi to Mi will be taken down
Tuesday. If an address, telephone
number, or other information is
wrong, the student should correct it
by writing the right information on
one of the cards provided near and
drop the correction in the proper box
provided under the Inain bulletin
board.
Lists Checked with 'Phone Directory
A careful check of telephone num
bers with those of the telephone com
pany is being made. This with the
numerous corrections require con
siderable time to finish, but it is ex
pected to have the book on sale by
the latter part of next week.
The price of the Directory, fifty
cents, is very low considering the
effort to compile it and the amount
of information contained in it. There
are Faculty, Student, Fraternity,
Sorority, and Hometown sections,
and also a list of organizations and
their presidents. If any organiza
tions have had recent elections they
are asked to get the results to

this year. The staging of plays is
no tthe main object of the club, how

lead the discussion on one of the late
stage productions and in this way
the members will broaden their out
look and become better acquainted
with the drama of the day. The

MORLEY SPEAKS
ON PRIMITIVE
CIVILIZATIONS
Noted Archaeologist Gives
Series of Lectures
On Ancients
TALKS ON MAYA CULTURE
Speaker in Research Work
In Central America
For Some Years
Dr. Sylvanus G. Morley, noted'
archaeologist gave the last of a ser
ies of three lectures yesterday at 3
o'clock. He had spoken previously on
Sunday and at 11 o'clock yesterday
morning. The lectures dealt with the
ancient Maya civilization. Dr. Morley
has been supervising the archaeolo
gical project of Chichen Itza in Cen
tral America for several years. His
talks dealt principally with the dis
coveries made at this place or made
byehimself concerning the ancient
culture of the Mayas. Slides picturing
the clues to this civilization were used
to illustrate tho talks.
The topic of the address yesterday
afternoon was "The Maya and Aztec
Hieroglyphic Writing." Dr. Morley
quoted H. G. Wells in opening his
talk; "The truest measure of civili
zation is a system of writing." The
system of the Maya is one of the
oldest of the world. It ranks with the
systems used by the Chinese and the
Egyptians. As no definite records are
available, it is difficult to say which
is the most ancient. The system used
by China and Egypt influenced the
old world, while that of the Maya Is
the direct ancestor of all American
forms of communication.
Four Sources of Information
There are four media by which
archaeologists have learned of the
ancient Maya civilization. The first
of these is the monuments which
have been unearthed from the ruins
resulting from the Aztec conquest.
They contain hieroglyphics' which
when translated are records of his
torical events, and astronomical ob
servations. The second medium is
. the writing found on the old archi
tecture, such as wall paintings and
cornices. Then there are the hiero
glyphic books stone blocks . upon
which symbols are carved. The last
medium and the one which has cn-
aDie(j the archaeologists to discover
more of the history of the country
thnn any 0ther way are the records
fronl Spanish invasions. The priests
sprl(. out the Roman x Catholic
cnurch induced the Mayas to put
Uneir symbols in alphabetical form.
The Spanish alphabet was used with
the addition of two characters for
sounds which were not used by the
Spanish.
There are several staees in the
development of writing. The most
ciementary form i3 picture writing,
.s the means of communication grows
k whcre B synibol stands for a given
tllln. it 5a paiiC(i idioeraDhical. Pho-
Itic .g the final staf?e- In this claasi.
fication falls all writing in wh?h a
symbol stands for the sound rather
than the object. There' are also two
classes of phonetic writing, one in
which the symbol may represent a
syllable, and the alphabetical form as
is used in the English language. The
Maya writing is in 'the Idiographic
stage, just verging over into the Pho
netic stage, according to Dr. Morley.
Lectures Illustrated with Slides
The archaeologist then showed
slides illustrating an that he had
said, and pointing out the features

vanced in the style of the day. For
i t.nce variati0ns of hieroglyphics
mean;ng the same thing are a com-
mon occurrc'nce.
The Maya chronology of time,
t t d rjr. Morley. is the most accur-
Lte eveP used jn the world. Theey
computed their time, not by years,
but by totals of days. The speaker
- gave a comparison of fifteen chron-
ologies used since early times and
the dates upon which the original
year was fixed.
Finally, In closing tne taik, vr.
Morley made several sketches of the
way in which the Maya wrote num
bers. The system used by them Is
very similar to the Roman method.
The lecture given Sunday after
noon was entitled "The Maya Civili
zation of the Old Empire."
Mayas Had Brilliant Civilisation
"The Maya civilization of the Em-
pire wa9 the greatest and most bril
liant aboriginal civilization of the
New World," Dr. Morley stated.
The origin of the higher civiliza
tion in the New World is closely con
nected with the development of corn
which was the staple rood ol the ear-
Her peoples," he continued. "There
are two theories of the origin of corn,
1 but the most tenable one of these
maintains that corn has probably
developM from a wild grass tf South
America, which is the only known
in plant whose pollen will fertilize corn.
It is believed that this wild
