Scene: Before the royal palace at Thebes.
Antigone is the last of three plays by Sophocles which unfold the series of tragedies
which fell upon the Oedipus household. Because Oedipus killed unwittingly the man
who was his father and later married the Queen, his mother, doom fell upon the members
of this family: and in this play the children are expiating the evil fate of their father.
The two brothers of Antigone have been separated by political differences. They meet in
battle, Polynices attacking and Eteocles defending Thebes: both are slain, each by the
hand of the other. Creon, now king, has ordered burial rites for Eteocles, but forbade
burial rites to Polynices. It is to be remembered that with the Greeks the highest service
required of mortal man was to give burial to one’s kin: also that to the Greek mind
there was but one place—Hades, the underworld—where all the spirits of mortal men
abode after death. Heaven was a place above the earth for none but the Gods.
In the presentation of an old Greek play to a modern audience there must be freedom
from many conventional ideas. This production does not attempt to restore the Greek
theater of the sixth century B. C.; rather to suggest the universality of appeal and to
show the opportunities for creative activity which such a play affords.—A. M. C.
Masks for the play were made by Florence Warwick. The designing and making of
costumes are by Ruth Wallace, Mamie Bynes, Annie Stevens, Clara Haywood, Gladys
Williams, Rosebud Brown and Miss Arduser.

Mr. J. C. Bridges Addresses
the Biology Club
Birdie Scott, '33
The Biology Club was fortunate in having
Mr. J. C. Bridges, Professor of Biology
at Morehouse College, to speak at its last
meeting, Friday, March 10th, on recent ex-
pe.imental work in advanced physiology.
After an introduction on the physiology of
amoeboid movement, Mr. Bridges discussed
some phases of mammalian physiology. The
first phase discussed was the recent work
in Endocrinology, particularly that part
dealing with the discovery of several of the
sex hormones and the roles they play in
mammalian life.
He continued with a discussion of the
action and injury potentials of various tis
sues. He explained how this could be demon
strated by the use of the string galvano
meter and by the capillary electrometer.
Next came a discussion of membrane po
tentials and permeability. The permeability
of the membrane determines whether posi
tive or negative ions pass through the mem
brane.
After the lecture, Mr. Bridges demon
strated the experimental functions which he
had described. Observation of this was in
tensely interesting to every one present.
Following the lecture came the social hour,
during which refreshments, consisting of a
salad course with sandwiches and punch,
were served. The pleasure of the evening
was increased by the fact that the meeting
was held on Miss Albro’s birthday and the
club presented her with a bouquet of mixed
flowers.
The valuable lecture by Mr. Bridges, the
birthday surprise for the head of the de
partment and the social hour made it a de
lightful evening.
The Fortnightly Add An
other Favorite Author
The Fortnightly Club had an unusual treat
at their meeting on March 3rd, in which the
club held to one of its favorite kind of pro
grams, that of having a speaker give his
appreciation of a writer he knows. Profes
sor rillman, of the English Department of
Morehouse College, gave a delightful ap
preciation of the personality and interests
ot Professor \\ illiam Ellery Leonard, of
Wisconsin University, and read a number of
selections from his works, so chosen as to
make a complete program and to make the
audience feel that they know Professor
Leonard. So clear and convincing was the
appreciation and so effective was the in
terpretative reading that all who were not
familiar with the works of Professor I/con-
ard are vowing that they will certainlv read
some works of this living writer.
I n'o Lives, one of the outstanding pro
ductions of the poet, was especially recom
mended by Mr. Tillman as lie read parts of
tho poem.
