Dietz Explains Causes Of Elizabethan Prosperity
The causes and results of the economic prosperity of the Elizabethan period in England were Explained yesterday afternoon by Dr. Frederick C. Dietz, professor of history at the University of Illinois, in the second social science lecture.
Writers of travel books in England in the Elizabethan era were impressed with the number |
of goldsmith shops and the brilliancy of the court, which were reflections of the condition of prosperity in the country, Dr. Dietz said.
"But there was no equitable distribution of the economic gains; , the process of increasing the na-morning at 10 o clock for Santa tjonai wealth resulted in the con-Catalina island on the first of two | centration of capital.”

Eminent Professor To Speak Tuesday At Gathering
Dr. Henry Pratt Fairchild, eminent psychology professor from New York university, will address the student body at next Tuesday’s alluniversity assembly on the topic, "Profits or Prosperity?”

He has been president of the Population Association of America, and the People's League for Economic Security, and at the present time he is president of the Film Audiences for Democracy, and vice-president of the Birth Control federation.

trips annually arranged for Summer Session students.
Dancing at the world-famous Casino to the music of Benny Goodman's orchestra, trips on a glass-bottom boat to see the submarine life around the island, swimming, boating, and other pastimes will feature the outing, which is being made at a reduced rate for those making reservations in the cashier’s window of the Student Union bookstore.

The land was usually sold for a price 20 times the annual rent. The new owners almost immediately raised the rent which compelled the tenants to adopt improved methods
“Much of the vagabondage, which increased tremendously under Elizabeth’s reign, was due to this discrepancy between prices and wages,” Dr. Dietz asserted. “The laborers felt that as long as they could not earn enough money to make a living, they might as well beg and steal and have a lot more fun.” Technological improvements In agriculture consisted of the consolidation of plots of ground — the “end of the strip” method of ownership. the movement toward sheep herding, and some unknown method for nearly doubling the per acre

Dr. Stone pointed out the* the significance of the difference in performance among horses was discerned by laymen centuries ago.
“To their sagacity, in part, we owe the fact that now individual differences in thoroughbred horses are the instruments of one of our major industries,” he said.
On two tablet; he showed the wide range of finishing times in a hundred races at six furlongs and a mile, and a comparison of the number of male and female winners at two, three, and four years of age. So great were the variations in winning times that the fastest would finish 100 yards ahead of the poorest winner. The second chart showed that while at two years almost as many females won as males, at four years only half as many did.
“The important point of this il-
lustration is the fact that individuality, a product of the combined forces of nature and nurture, is what it takes to operate the parimutuels of some 100 or more race tracks in America,” Dr. Stone said.
The attention of scientists was first directed to the significance of individuality in animals by Darwin, Stone asserted. His statement that the gradual accumulation of slight individual differences could account for the evolution of species directed Galton in 1869 to a careful consideration of individual differences in the innate and acquired abilities of man.
These in turn, focused the attention of Cattell about 1885 upon the possibility of desirability of devising measures for the description and evaluation of human individual differences.

Hailing Robinson Jeffers as one of America’s greatest living men of letters, Dr. E. Sculley Bradley, visiting member of the English department faculty, pleaded for a more determined attempt to understand the California poet’s work Theatre. Films for classroom use jn a iecture given Tuesday in Bowne hall.
The material of Jeffers’ poetry, not its meaning or purpose, are what most critics focus their attention on, Dr. Bradley declared. And in doing so, he continued, they do not permit themselves to become aware of the highly moral and ethical purpose in the poet’s work. The situation, according to Dr. Bradley, is much the same as was met by Eugene O'Neill and Walt Whitman, since these men too “dared to write about themes not universally acceptable.”
In speaking of the relationship of Jeffers, who was graduated from the University of Southern California, to this state, Dr. Bradley pointed out that the frequent use by the poet, of California locale and people, indicates that he is primarily a poet of Califomia. Yet his intention and influence go beyond that, and he is a poet of America as well. “Jeffers is the greatest poet in California,” Dr. Bradley declared, but he is also one of the most important poets in America, and his importance will increase rather than diminish as the world “grows up” to his themes.

Dance To Be Held Monday
Second All-U Dig Of Summer School Begins at 7:30 P.M.
Almost everybody on campus Is engaged in a wide-spread whisper- j ing campaign, according to a large' staff of operatives who have been lying on the library lawn at noon, i idling in the Student Union at coke time in the morning, pretending to study in the library in the afternoon, and at every possible opportunity engaging unsuspecting students in conversation.
All their reports point to the fact that the size of the campaign is growing at a tremendous rate of speed and may be expected to be nearly universal in its effects.
The subject of this campaign is the second all-university Summer | Session dig which will be attended by a multitude of students Monday night if evidences of interest are interpreted correctly.
Conversation runs something Hke this: “Are you going to the d!g Monday night? I went to the last one and had such a swell time I wouldn’t miss this one if it cost 10 times the entrance fee, a measly 25 cents.”
The latest information reveals the fact that Jack Gregg and his orchestra will provide the music for the informal affair.
The women’s gym will be decorated in gala fashion, with a number of balloons being included in the I decorations in order to satisfy that strange desire which comes over j dancers to jump high into the air and burst the floating bubbles.

Acting as oficial hostess for the evening will be Donna Lewis, student body vice-president, who will be asisted in making everyone welcome by Deedy Maurer, student body secertary.
