AND JAMES IOIXON
Father of U. S. C. Professor Was Under Grandfather of Dr. Spaeth
DUNCAN GREAT TEACHER
Free Kirk College at Edinburgh Was The Scene of The Friendship
There is a pleasant bond of connection between Professor John Duncan Spaeth and James Main Dixon. Away back in the forties of last century there was a personality in Chalmer’s theological hall in Edinburgh, Dr. James Duncan, usually known as Rabbi Duncan because of his profound knowledge of Oriental languages and Oriental ways. Born in Aberdeen, which has always been a home of culture and exact thinking, he made a name for himself
when quite young, and stood for the vacant professorship in Hebrew at
Glasgow University, but • unsuccessfully. Then he went to Buda-Pesth as missionary to the Jews there, and made two converts, who afterwards became prominent Christian theologians, Edersheim and Adolph Saphir. When Chalmers “came out” of the Established Church in the year 1843, and New College was founded for Free Kirk students, Rabbi Duncan was chosen as professor of both Greek and Hebrew; and one of his students was James Main Dixon, whose son has the New Testament his father used under the Rabbi. So wise was his talk that another student, afterwards Professor

Discussing “Methods and Results’* as two different goals, each competing for the scholar’s loyalty in the search for scientific truth. Dr. Rollin Clark Mul-lenix, professor of Zoology at Lawrence College, Wisconsin, stated vesterday before a university audience that both ideals are necessary in science and life. The speech, delivered in H. 206 at 4 o’clock, was the second of the Thursday afternoon series offered by the university to summer session students and to the public.
Bringing out the viewpoint of the trained scientist, the address was of great interest in stressing the practical application of the search for truth. Dr. Mullenix
held the attention of his hearers by his intimate acquaintance with
many attitudes and professions as well as through the scientific insight which he brought to his subject. His discussion was popular in the best sense of the term as well as academic.
SCIENTIFIC METHOD After illustrations bringing out the difference between the attitude interested chiefly in correct method, and that devoted to practical, useful results, Dr. Mullenix took up the ques-(CONTINUED ON PAGE THREE)

This change has become necessary because of the resignation of Miss Biles which was tendered recently.

study of understanding and administering over college women of today her particular line of pedagogical endeavor. Her first successes were achieved in a number of private girls’ schools in the East. By the time the World War broke out, her abilicy was sufficiently well recognized to bring her appointment as Executive Secretary, Department of Women in Industry of Pennsylvania Council of National Defense. Her work while in this position is very highly praised by those acquainted with her achievements. She was also Community Organizer for War Camp Community Service for the district in which 3he lived.

Attention of professors and students of the university is called to the fact that more than 200 students have failed to return to the registrar’s office the permanent enrollment cards which they received on the day of registration. In view of this large numb'”, and because non-return of the cards may be a very serious matter for the students involved, all professors and instructors are requested to announce to their classes that the permanent cards must be returned tc the registrar’s office immediately, signed by the instructors under whom the students have classes.
Cooperation of students and faculty in bringing about an immediate return of the cards is urged because their non-return will ieao to inconvenience and de#iay in preparing grades and credential!;. This, is especially important on account of the short duration cf the Summer Session.
All students should return their :ards immediately, if they have not /et done so, and be sure the in-ormation is accurate.
