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.

T he Cornell Newspaper informs us that students who fall asleep in the library at Swarthmore College are given warnings, after three of which they are fined.—Tower Times. Le Cercle Francais Grace Ross, ’33 Le Cercle Francais was entertained by the Freshman students who are members of tin* club, at their regular meeting, March 10th. \\ ith Curtis Miller as mistress of ceremonies, Ruth Hawkins, Lilian Davis, Anita Lane, and Margaret Stewart each gave interesting talks on French life. The climax of the program was an interesting playlet in French, entitled Marborough Goes to War. 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.
