Woodbury Speaks on New England's Famous Essayists
Writings of Emerson and Thoreau Are Gaining Popularity, Says Lecturer
"People are increasingly accepting Emerson and Thoreau at their worth," said Charles J. Woodbury author and lecturer, who spoke this afternoon in the auditorium of central Administration building, is an interview this morning. The professor will discuss writings that they can find, and the works of Emerson are even put into pocket editions."
Mr. Woodbury was a very intimate friend of Ralph Waldo Emerson. It was at William College that he met a graduate of his senior year at Williams, Mr. Woodbury lived in an abandoned observatory, remote from the other buildings of the college. He invited me to visit him and to return and meet his friends.
Emerson Liked Secclusion Because he disliked to live in a laboratory and was a cowardly man, Woodbury, Emerson was entertained in "The Hermitage," as Mr. Woodbury called it, for the week. The friendship between these two men, which had been a bit supernatural, became deepened by this clear connection.
In his lecture, Mr. Woolbury seeks to give the listener a mental picture of Emerson as a man. He spent eight years in Emerson's home and had a change to learn the habits of Emerson.
Sen of Emerson Approves
Dr. Edward Emerson, the only surviving son of Ralph Walden Einson, said, in regard to his own education, that "You have brought my father back to me as I have never seen him before."
"Emerson has been dead for 4 years, but his contributions to literature are becoming more and more popular," and Mr. Woolbear, "our modern literature is getting more than some of our earlier works." He explained that modern literature is more specific and the contributions in modern literature will have a permanent value. "I think there are demands on our literature which will owe their chance to investigation," he added.

talian Harpist to Give Next Concert Number on Evening of April 6
Alberto Saivi, Noted Musician Is Son of Famous Maker Of Instruments
Mr. Salvi was born in Venice 39 years ago. His father was a celebrated Italian harpy maker and one of the most famous figures of that of the great shadowy reaches of his father's shop, peopled by what seemed to him, giant instruments of music, as well as large plaques fasciated him completely and soon the different harps began to assume separate personalities for him according to the sounds that he could hear.
The recital of Alberta harp
ist, will be the next number of the
University concert course, Mondays
April 4.
The elder Salv' built his son a miniature harp and gave him some elementary instruction. The boy" did not need to be urged to practice for practicing was his play. At the age of 12 he was studying seriously, devoting six and seven hours a day to practice. Mr. Salv' magnified his one thing, his unceasing devotion to his work.
The harp is an instrument which demands the greatest skill in order to produce any but the most ordinary effects. The size of the instrument, the fact that it must be played with the finger eedd and that there are no other sounds required, makes dactyloxerous as the fingers is sufficient to account for the difficulties.
At the age of 13, the boy Salvib, pale, slender, the wrath of the harp" he was then called by the town people, won his first distinction—the Royal Scholarship of the Napa Royal Conservatorate. He earned a national education; tuition and living expenses were free to him for eight years.

"He has acquired all the knowledge, both of the practice and theory of music, that falls within the category of classical music," said back special examinations for Salvi, and the result was that he was awarded the eight year diploma at the end of five years.

Berlin, March 20 -- Official check of the ballot today following yesterday's election, shows Germany's first march to the polls to select its presidential by popular ballot failed to give any candidate an actual majority.
26 will be necessary.
Official figures as compiled this morning show
Jarry, Nationalist, 10,380,800;
Prum, Socialist, 7,780,000;
Marc, Conservat, 2,880,000;

The Socialists have been making severe inroads into Communism, pushed the right to vote, and declared December in the Communist polls 2,700,000 votes. Despite active campaigning Thalmann, Communist candidate, mustered only 1,590,000. In several supported strongholds, the communist vote dropped more, and the Communist candidate of the extreme Right Succession, made a pitiful showing, running last.
The election proves beyond doubt that Socialists remain the strongest individual party in Germany. Popular antagonies toward Communists led to a deepening funeral of President Erkel helped to swell the Socialist pole. The result constitutes a victory for three Republican parties—Socialists Democracy and Centrists—almost unchanged over 200,000 over his opponent.
The so called Wiemar coalition poll called the total of 15,200,000 which compared with the Jarres votes of 10,300,000 indicates more than sufficient strength to gain victory in the election. Jarres can undeploy one candidate.
Yesterday found the reactionists grouped solidly behind Doctor Jarros and the Right's vote showed virtually its full strength.
The voting was less than 70 per cent of the registration and fell behind that rolled in December.
Although a few minor street clashes broke out in which several peronas were hurt, there was slight disorder throughout the country.

Junior Prom Date Changed to Week Later by Request
Engineers' Hop and Other Events Cause Dance to Be Held on April 24
The auto of the junior prom has been changed from April 17 to April 24 by University authorities. A request for the change in date came Friday, from the office of the dean of men and the dean of women, to the prom managers. The reason given for the change was that a scholarship university prize would be previously arranged for April 7.
Theos in charge of arrangements for the annual engineers day, April 17 and 18, also had requested that he prom be given a week later, since he was not successfully be given on the same week end. With the Kansas delays on April 18, the appearance of the Four Owl on the same day, as well as the weekend, it was thought to give the annual party a week later. More students will be able to attend the dances, it is believed, and the change will give the great community a break out their details for the party.
The same music has been arranged for that was originally scheduled, John Patt, chairman of the orchestra committee, and yesterday. Two are performing at the Royal Symphony and the Missouri Jazz will play for the party.

have been made, managers Addison
have not, and the school has nourished yearly enrollment. The duties will be a 1. owl party, formal, and call the cost $10 per couple. A charge will apply to students who paid for last year's prum.
Typhoid Deaths Decrease
Water Supply of Kansas Towns Examined Weekly
Tatulation of the Kansas death rate from typhoid fever for 1924 has just been completed by the department of health of the State Board of Health.
According to the figures made public recently by Prof. Ernest Boyce, director of the work of this department, the death rate from typhoid in this state last year was 436 per 100,000 people and the Kansas rate for 1922.
In 1923 the typhoid death rate in Kansas was 6, per 100,000 while the average of all other states leaving vital statistics, is 12. The low death rate from this cause is an indication that good precautionary methods are being used in connection with this disease.
An important factor in incurring the low rate, according to Professor Boyce, is the weekly bacteriological examination given the water samples of all Kansas towns by the Water and Sewage Laboratory of the State Board of Health, located at the University.
Sixty-two municipal water supplies in the State are obtained from the University laboratories, impounded waters. These municipal supply stations receive containers from the University laboratories. Sixty-two municipal water supplies for examination.
This examination is provided for by Kansas State law and plays an important part, together with milk inspection and similar precautions in the state. In case, the 1924 typhoid death rate is the lowest in the history of the state.
