Ancient Greeks Live On In Spooner's Windows
The lives of Plato and Socrates depicted in a stained glass window! Sounds almost impossible doesn't it? But Spooner-Thayer museum possesses two such windows.
These windows were designed by Charles J. Connick, a designer and worker in stained glass from Boston, and were bought presented to the museum
These windows were designed signer and worker in stained glass and presented to the museum by Mrs. Henderson S. Martin and Sibyl Martin of Lawrence. Text Explains Theme
The window devoted to Plato was designed to complement and support the companion window showing the life of Socrates. Text reflecting the spirit and thought of the balanced window is from the Phaddo . . . "Let a man be of good cheer . . . who has adorned the soul in . . . temperance, justice, courage, nobility, and truth." The symbolic figure of Plato holds the designed symbol of restive and rebellious spirits. Broken shackles on his wrist suggest his period of slavery. The symbol of philosophy is divided by its three component parts; dialectic, ethics, and physics.
Students and Friends Depicted
The top of the wide decorative border shows Plato's three outstanding students: Speusippus, Xenocrates, and Aristotle. In the lower part of the window are figures of Plato's most beloved friends. The seven liberal arts of early philosophers are represented in the border.
The companion window, designed to symbolize the spiritual grandeur of Socrates, has as its text the universal truth of Socrates. "No evil can happen to a good man either in life or after death." The figure of Socrates holds aloft in his right hand the Greek symbol of liberty, and in his left the Greek symbol of death. At Socrate's ear is Daemon, the inward voice which guided him. Around Socrates are grouped five of his most loyal friends.
For Better Lighting
Mr. Connick's stained glass windows are famous not only because of the quality of the workmanship but also since they let light in much better than other such windows.
Five Schools Boast Enrollment In Choir
A checking of the 84 University students now enrolled in the University A Cappella Choir under Dean D. M. Swarthout reveals the interesting fact that over 50 per cent are from Schools of the University other than the School of Fine Arts.
The School of Fine Arts leads with an enrollment of 39, and the College runs a close second with an enrollment of 36. The School of Engineering has 5 in the choir, the School of Business, 2, and the Schools of Medicine and Education, 1 each.
Thursday evening following the regular 4:30 rehearsal at the University, the Choir will go to Valleyview, the home of Dean and Mrs. Swarthout just west of the Campus, for a picnic and outdoor sing, the first of a series of social events for the school year.
Dr. O. H. Pepper of the University of Pennsylvania for several years has devoted a clinic for geriatrics—the specialty of the diseases of the aged.

Freshman loan awards were the subject of the first point of the new program. Local alumni chapters will have the privilege of nominating freshmen from their locality for the aid. The association will then grant $50 to the selected youth if the local chapter matches that amount. All nominations will be subject to the approval of the University Committee on Aids and Awards.
A series of University nights composes the second point. Meetings and programs will be held on the campus for visiting alumni from nearby cities. If this plan proves successful, it will be enlarged next year.

Free Bridge Instruction Is Tonight
The second weekly bridge lesson will be held at 7:15 tonight in the Memorial Union building, conducted by Mrs. Ivan B. Rowe.
The first part of the lesson is a lecture presented on the blackboard. The last half is taken up with play at bridge tables, applying the principles learned in the lecture. Individual instruction is given everyone.
Mrs. Rowe urges everyone interested in learning fundamentals or just "brushing up" on their game to attend tonight. The subject of the last lecture, "Bidding and the Honor Trick Count," will be completely reviewed to bring newcomers up to date.
Last week 32 persons attended the first lecture. This series of free bridge lessons is sponsored by the Student Union Activities.
