His address entitled “The Theocratic State,” traced the various theocratic governments in civilization from ancient Hebrew times when Moses received his authority from Jehovah to lead the Israelites, up through the period when the Christian church dominated Europe both ecclesiastically and politically.
Giving examples of theocratic governments. Dr. Boodin cited Biblical Jerusalem as a prominent one dedicated to the service of God. Geneva under Calvin, too. was mentioned as another interesting example of a theocracy.
"Calvin.” said Dr. Boodin, “be-
“Unfortunately these two overlapped. for the state was obliged to maintain public worship of a certain type, and an authority over discipline. As a result religion and the state were not really free.”
Dr. Boodin called the 13th century in Europe largely theocratic as it was dominated by the Pope and church. As the kings of the middle ages became more and more grasping theocracy took second place in governments as a form of government.

Dr. Erie Young s Model T Sabbatical Trip Spurred by Memories, Life Philosophy'
President s Office Notice
Attention is called to the Unl-ersit • calendar wherein tomor-r, l ebruary 22. is scheduled as holiday.
R- B. von KleinSmid, President
Queries from friends as to why. Dr. Erie Young. Graduate School professor, left on his sabbatical in I a Model T have evoked the follow-1 ing answer from his wife. Dr.
Pauline Young: "Memories and a j philosophy of life.”
When Dr. Young came to SC in 1924. according to Mrs. Young, he j bought his father a shining new Ford. The following summer the , old and younger Young families ^ went to Yosemite. Not the easy tourist way, says Mrs. Young, but i over the old Big Oak Flat r .ad which twisted and wound up §teep grades to a summit, and then plunged breath-takingly down a one-way path to the valley floor.
The Model T never failed, recalls Mrs. Young. Dozens of bigger and 1
newer cars were stalled on the , road, but their Ford puffed stub- 1 bomly upward to the summit. Later ' the Youngs made the same trip with other relatives from the East' in the same car.
' In 1936 the Ford began to show signs, not of old age. but of adolescence.” jokes Mrs. Young. It became , temperamental, badly needing reconditioning by a sympathetic mechanic. Before the reconditioning came, the car was given by the elder Mr. Young to an old friend who converted it into a ranch truck.
The Model T. a symbol of adventure and success, was badly missed in the Young household, reminisces Mrs. Young. Shortly before Dr.
Young started on his sabbatical he found a friend who had “graduated from a Model T” to a brand-new car. When Dr. Young saw the dilapidated car memories of the old car returned. He bought the Ford, and the Young’s son. Clarence, repaired and reconditioned the old car from radiator to gas tank. He bought a new battery and the Ford was as good as new.
The cost of transportation in the Model T from Los Angeles to San Francisco was J3.80. Dr. Young writes that this car “unfailingly provides inexpensive, reliable, and comfortable travel.” He plans to visit Sacramento, San Jose, San Francisco, and the San Joaquin valley.

Trojans Will Shun Classrooms For Washington s Birthday
Students will shun textbooks and classrooms tomorrow when America pauses to honor “the father of his country” — Gen. George Washington.
Here on the SC campus, Washington re-lives on canvas his important triumph of the American revolution. On display in the Elizabeth Holmes Fisher gallery, the Percy A. Rockefeller Collection of American historical portraits contains the famous symbolical portrait of Washington painted by Charles Willson Peale in 1776.
The gallery will be open to the public tomorrow night from 7:30 until 10 o’clock. The Rockefeller collection enters its final week of display on the campus tomorrow, it is to be removed from the gallery February 29, one week from today.
The full-Jength portrait of Washington is said to have been painted especially for Gen. Lafayette in fulfillment of a promise made to him
by Washington during the 1778 cam paign in Rhode Island.
Artist Peale wa.s in the field witl. Washington during the revolution, and while in camp found time to paint the likenesses of many officers. The Washington portrait, catching the spirit of the American victory, shows the flags of Great Britain trampled on the ground and the 13-starred banner of the colonies waving triumphantly overhead. Washington stands beside a cannon, smiling over his success.
The portrait is one of 14 paintings of the Washington group that hang on the walls of the gallery. Even in the huge painting of Abraham Lincoln the Washington theme is present. In the background of the portrait of the Civil war president are a bust of Washington and a copy of the famous “Washington
Crossing the Delaware” picture.
