Amos V Andy show how the trick is done, and they ought to
know, for the record shows that Freeman (Amos) Godsen and Charles
(Andy) Correll have finished their 13th year with as much popu
larity as they ever had.
The record further shows that Correll first sang on the radio
21 years ago. He first sang for pay at WCN. In 1925 the boys did
a skit called "Sam 'n' Henry." The first Amos 'n' Andy show was
aired over WMAQ March 19, 1928. It has been a network feature
since August 19, 1929.
Colgate Greek
department
booms in 3 years
HAMILTON, N. Y. (ACP).
Three , years ago Colgate univer
sity's introductory course in Greek
had only two students. This se
mester there's an overflow.
Accounting for the rebirth of
interest are new teaching meth
ods introduced in January, 1939,
by Dr. Stanley Wilcox, Cornell
university graduate who came to
Colgate after earning his docto
rate at Yale.
"Anyone can learn a language,"
Dr. Wilcox declared in his pre
liminary announcement two years
ago. To prove his statement he
pointed out that all of Colgate's
students had learned English.
"Learning Greek will be Just as
easy and possibly a lot more fun,"
he continued.
In Dr. Wilcox's Greek 100 clasfc,
students start translating the first
day, learn to know their verb and
case endings entirely by meeting
them in class.
As a Cornell student ten years
ago, Dr. Wilcox looked forward to
becoming an advertising execu
tive. Then, "because the teacher
was known as a good guy," he
enrolled in Greek. "I soon discov
ered that Greek was a lot more
fun than advertising ever could
be," he declares, "and here I am."
