PRINTED IN BOOKLET
A Capella Choir Publishes
Copies of Professor's
Address Here.
PREFACE RY PATTERSON
Copies of "The M.-t Architec
ture." the address which Dr. Hart
lev Buir Alexander, foimet fac
ultv member of the I'mverMty if
Nrbtat-kn. delivered in Lincoln en
April 6 at the Westminster Pres
bytenan chuixh. are now available
ui all local ook stores, according
to John M. Rosborough. director nf
the Lincoln A Capella choir, which
organization is sponsoring the
sales.
The addros has been put in
pamphlet form to satisfy the de
mands of many of Dr. Alexander's
friends and acquaintances, those in
charge dctlaied. The booklets are
selling for fifty cents apiece.
Thirty pages of the small pam
phlet are devoted to the former
Ncbiaskans lecture, which ap
lears in its entirety. It is preceded
by a foreword signed by Dr. C. H.
Patterson, assistant professor of
philosophy at the I'niversity of
Nebraska", who was a student of
Dr. Alexander here.
Patterson Makes Statement.
In his torewotd. Dr. Patterson
has the following to say:
"Dr. Hartley Burr Alexander,
professor of philosophy at Scnpps
college in Clarcmnnt. Calif, is
one of America's most eminent
scholars. He has achieved distinc
tion in the fields of philosophy,
anthropology and art. As a philos
opher he ranks among the fore
most thinkers of the present day.
"He has been president of the
American Philosophical associa
tion and at different times lie has
been president of the Western and'
the Pacific divisions of this asso
ciation. He has written several
books of a philosophical nature
and has made many contributions
to the leading philosophical jour
nals of the country.
As an anthropologist, his most
important work is the two volumes
which he wrote for the Mytholo
gies of All Races. These volumes
deal with the mythologies of the
North American and the South
American Indians.
Lectured i" Pri.
"During tbc spring of 19Jj he
delivered a series of lectures on
the "Ait and Philosophy of the
Nortn American Indian." at Ihe
Sorbonnc in Paris. Dr. Alexander
has long been interested in the
subject of art. He has published
seveial volumes of poetry, and his
book entitled "Poetry and the In
dividual" has served as a text lot
courses in aesthetics.
"His chief interest in art. how
ever, has to do with the subject of
architecture.
"He has bad much to do with
the creation or the symbolism of
some of Ament a's finest buildings,
including the Nebraska state capi
tol and he Los Angeles library."
The meeting. April 6. when Dr.
Alexander gave his talk, was held
under the auspices of the A Ca
pella choir, an organization of
young people from the University
of Nebraska under the leadership
ot John M. Kosnorougn. oean oi
the university school of music.
"Tbc idea of a great cathedral
such as Dr Alexander describes in i
this address," Dr. Patterson points I
out in his introductory comments, j
"i.-. one that has long been cher-
ished by the members of this choir j
and it is their hope that some day j
it may be realized in fact."

IOWA STATK COLLEGE, Ames ,
Those spending the greatest j
number of hours in study arc not f
always the ones to make the, best j
grades, according to Dr. J. G. Jen
