Shelley Is Subject Of Lecture
Poet To Be Considered As Political Reformer By English Professor
“Shelley as a Political Reformer" will be discussed by Dr. William [ Davenport of the English department at the regular lecture Wednesday In the art and lecture room of Doheny Memorial library.
Most people know Shelley as a poet, Dr. Davenport believes, but a comparative few are familiar with him as a political reformer. INVESTIGATION COMPLETED
The speaker has Just completed a year's investigation of the poet’s political prose in connection with his master's thesis. He will try to show that some of the popular conceptions of Shelley may be altered by reading his political prose.
As a reformer Shelley was a moderate, although he might have been expected to be radical, acocrding to the professor, who sees his subject as an idealist in general, and one who was far ahead of his time. IDEALS MATERIALIZE
Most of the things Shelley Worked for have come true ln England. Dr. Davenport maintains, although none of his objectives was accomplished ln his lifetime. Something of a pioneer, the writer was the inspiration for more militant reformers later, many of whom were thrown in Jail for their zeal.
In no sense a practical reformer, Shelley was too phllsophical in his methods to have any effect in his day, as the speaker will Illustrate in his lecture.
Dr. LeRoy S. Weatherby, professor of chemistry, will speak on “Researches on Inulin and Laevulose from Dahlia Tubers, and the Possible Significance” next Wednesday, April 19, in 159 Science.

tions, speaking before many varied groups, and exerting his efforts to promote good will among nations, Dr. Rufus B. von KleinSmid finds time to cultivate his hobby of collecting rare Chinese porcelains, rugs, and innumerable editions of rare books.
PRESIDENT IS AUTHORITY
As an authority on porcelains, the educator treasures his own collection which includes pieces dating from the Sung to the Chien Lung periods beginning ln the ninth century.
Prized by Dt von KleinSmid are pieces presented to him by General Munthe during an afternoon visit ln the latter'* Peiping gardens. The Chinese host requested his visitor’s opinion on the most valuable piece. Returning to his hotel later, Dr. von KleinSmid found the rare specimen of his choice awaiting him as a momento of the occasion. The entire collection had also been carried to his car as a gift of the Chinese general.
DETECTIVE STORIES READ In addition Wo being a psychologist, formerly having served the state of Indiana as a consulting criminal psychologist, the S.C. president dotes on picking up detective stories for relaxation to spot the villain in the first few chapters.
Versatile are the hobbies of Dr. Thurston H. Ross, director of the School of Merchandising and of the bureau of business research. He has built and Installed a pipe organ in his home. Dr. Ross was an aviator during the world war, and frequent summer vacations have found him flying to remote fishing grounds of the northwest to cast his trout fly ln seclusion.
