REVIEWERS HAVE HIGH PRAISE EOR PROFESSOR HERAS
Sketches of North American Impressions Contain Much of Interest

Latest Book is Novel Dealing With Spanish and French Atmosphere
With the Literary Digest International Book Review for June printing high praise of the sketches on North American Life, Antonio Heras, professor of Spanish Literature in summer and regular sessions, has already published another work, this time a novel of Spanish and French life. Both of the books are in the Spanish tongue and are published in Madrid.
The first of these, “De La Vida Norteamericana," is found to be fascinating by its reviewer, Harry Kurz, who suggests using it as a Spanish text.
"Unlike other visitors to our shores/’ says Kurz, “Senor Heras has had the advantage of staying several years in different places and observing at leisure. The result as portrayed in his ‘De La Vida Norteamericana’ attests the keenness of vision and appreciation of the Spanish professor, animated as he is by the dream that he may some day take back to Spain, for the benefit of his land, the traits of his experience here. It might serve us here and now if the book were placed where our college students in Spanish might enjoy it. As a text book it would doubtless prove successful. Its style is always clear and its thought exhilarating.”
IN MANY UNIVERSITIES Professor Heras. who has served as professor at the Universities of Chicago, Minnesota, and Iowa, as well as Southern California, embodies in his (•Continued on Page Four)
Have the Kindness, Senorita, to Pass the—the—the—
you say
“Senorita! How do ‘butter’ in Spanish?”
“Como se dice ‘Please pass the butter’ en espanol?”
Students of Spanish at the Women’s Dormitory have just had a table set aside for their own use where nothing but Spanish is permissible. Many of them being beginners in the tongue, they are consequently spending much of their time just at present in mas tering the menu in Spanish. Otherwise they stand an excellent chance of missing out on the dessert or of having to eat their bread without butter (or their butter without bread) until they are again at liberty to consult the dictionary.
Other conversation is encouraged, provided it be in Spanish, but for some reason a good many are concentrating on the names of dishes just now. The weather can wait The desire for the table began with the students and others interested arranging for luncheon at the Dorm.

Containing full information regarding the Graduate School, its requirements, faculty, and aims, the new Graduate Bulletin for 1926-1927 has just been issued and is available to those taking or contemplating graduate study at the University. The bulletin contains more than fifty pages; gives complete information regarding requirements for advanced degrees and certificates; lists all courses by departments that are available for graduate credit; names and gives the complete academic record of each member of the graduate faculty; and gives a list of all the students who have been granted Master’s degrees since June, 1925, to the present time.
The following comment on “The Graduate Attitude” is of value to summer session students, more than twenty-five percent, of whom are graduates:
“The graduate attitude,” says the bulletin, “is the psychological index of the development of the student into the scholar. The undergraduate student is chiefly acquisitive and receptive; the graduate steps out, first toward becoming a master of arts, and finally discoverer, creator, leader among students and masters. SELF-RELIANCE AND INITIATIVE
“The graduate student must become acquainted with the authorities in his domain and with their opinions and findings; through self-reliance and expanding powers of initiative, he must show his right to a place among leaders. The set task, the student apparatus of the beginner, any mere schedule based upon the calendar, will not (Continued on Page Three)
Fishing Party Now Being Planned By Claude Reeves
Claude Reeves, ’20, former stu dent body president and now principal of the Bell High School, has been a visitor on the campus during the past week His objective is the formation of a fishing trip among professors and students of the summer session, and anyone caring to participate is invited to leave word with Professor Roy Malcom in the Political Science office. Having been a student at two previous summer sessions, during which such trips were taken, Reeves is an old hand at engineering fishing parties, chartering the necessary boat, and making life miserable for the finny population of the Pacific.
Later in the summer Professor and Mrs. Reeves will motor to San Francisco and points north.
