GAGE REFUTES BELIEFS ABOUT LINCOLN'S FEATURES
Civil War President's Face Shows
Two Personalities, Prof. Gage Contends
That Abraham Lincoln, whose 131st birthday is being celebrated today over the nation, did not possess irregular features with deep-set eyes and hands that were rough with toil, was the opinion expressed by Prof. Merrell Gage of the College of Architecture and Fine Arts of SC.

an authority on the physiognomy of Lincoln, Professor Gage concludes that the Civil war president showed two distinct personalities in his facial features.
DEPICTS KINDLINESS “The lines and characteristics on the left side of his face indicated the shrewd, political, humorous nature of Lincoln while the right side with the mole depicted that of the kindly ‘Father Abraham’ philosopher who was inclined to 'be melancholy and moody. Each was entirely different.
“The only irregularity of his features was a curve extending to the right jaw. Contrary to the picture held in the minds of most persons, Lincoln’s hazel-green eyes were not deep set,” said Professor Gage. “His high cheek bones and overhanging brows suggested this popular misconception. Nor were his eyes large. Rather they possessed a sparkling illuminousness that gave the impression of size.”
GAGE DOES STATUE
Professor Gage was commissioned to do the bronze Lincoln statue in the capitol building at Topeka. Kan., by popular subscription and by funds raised by school children of that city.
By measurements according to the artist’s rule of proportionate thirds between the chin, nose, and hairline, the former president possessed normal features. “Most outstanding was a jaw that was typical of Lincoln.” explained Professor Gage. “Studied
suggested the tender side of his character.” That he was aware of this feature at the time of his running for office was expressed by the SC artist for it was then that Lincoln grew a beard and chin whiskers.
“Again in his mouth line we see the two opposite traits of his personality; on the left a firm determination combined with humor while on the right a slight droep of the sad burdened emancipator. Long protruding lips seemed to form a curtain in hiding his inner-most emotions.
HANDS INTELLECTUAL
“Lincoln's hands were those of an intellectual,” explained Professor Gage. “Long boney fingers were eager to grasp facts rather than the rail-splitting axe. Although accustomed to hard physical labor his hands did not show toil probably because of his prodigious strength.
“He was six feet three and one-half inches tall, weighed approximately 167 pounds and was extremely muscular. In proportion were his long neck, arms, and body with legs that according to his own quirk were ‘just long enough to reach the ground.’

New Wampus Features Map Of Best Campus Kissing Spots
A San Francisco doctor recently opined that kissing is healthful. In keeping with this suggestion the February Wampus, which will go on sale during the assembly period next Wednesday—Valentine’s day—will feature a map of the best “osculatory sanitaria” in the vicinity of the campus. Lee Goodman, editor, declared.
This map, drawn by Jimmy Tal-cott and compiled with the help of several local authorities, is expected by the editor to bring the health situation at Troy to a new high. It gives health-loving students detailed directions for reaching the spots, as well as rating their suitability.
eception plans for new members be discussed at the first lunch-meeting of the semester spon-
day.
A two-page spread of fashion pictures, taken at recent previews held for buyers and a page of photographs of school life in Paris, as well as shots taken at the night spots also will be featured.
As a new departure, Goodman said, the Wampus will feature jokes.
Under the direction of Don Duke, producer, the revamping creates more top directorial posts and adds newcomers as apprentices, with the ultimate aim of increasing the number of campus events covered.
That the newsreel might be shown more frequently than at present was hinted by Duke at yesterday’s staff meeting, when he suggested president of the American Associa- i that the schedule of monthly exhibition of Schools of Social Work at j tions might be enlarged if the a meeting of the association in number of separate shooting crews Washington, D.C.	can be increased from three to five.

Vocal Film Will Be Shown
A high speed motion picture film showing the action of human vocal cords will be shown Thursday at 3:15 p.m. in 159 Science. The unusual film was developed by the Bell Telepehone laboratories and will be shown by Dr. Arnold H. Wagner of the music and psychology departments.
The film shows the action of the vocal cords in preducing so-called head and chest registers first at normal moving picture speed and then at an apparent speed 250 times slower than normal. The same technic of photographing bullets in flight with the high speed, slow motion camera has been developed by the Bell laboratories and the work on the vocal cord movie represents the culmination of over a century of effort in viewing and photographing the vocal cords.

It is a magnificent building. and the Catholic rite within its walls is essentially sacerdotal, almost esoteric. The crouching multitudes at prayer gaze wonderingly and fervently at the priestly ceremony enacted glit-teringly on the threshold of the high alter.
The majesty of the rite increases from moment to moment, until, with the elevation of the Host, man is lost in the true humility of supreme worship. It is in the aftermath of some tense moment such as this, lending jubilance with its brilliant array of reeds and mixtures, that the grand organ in the Catholic rite sends forth it's voice. .
