ESTATE DESCRIBED
Located on the Huntington estate in San Marino, the institution consists of two portions, the museum, and art gallery, the latter being the section ttoat was originally the old Huntington home.
The museum, of Greek architecture exterior, is a large room wherein rare ancient manuscripts are preserved. Such pieces as an original page from Gutenburg’s bible, are to be viewed. So many' of the pieces are facsimilies because the originals have been packed away for protection.
A special feature is a travelling library of very small books in a large case which dates back many years. Rooms of the museum are devoted to special displays.

Dr. Sedgewick Talks Tuesday Literature
on
Growing out of his belief that “Feeling that one is contemporary with persons of other ages keeps us from being chained to our own age,” Dr. Garnett Gladwin Sedgewick, visiting professor of English at SC from the University of British Columbia, will lecture on “The Contemporaneous Sense In Literature” in Bowne hall, Tuesday afternoon at 3:45.
Dr. Sedgewick will attempt to explain the ability, to read literature and poetry of the past as it would have been read at the time it was written. He will illustrate the points in his lecture with the reading of selected old works.
It is Dr. Sedgewick's belief that, “In reading poetry of our own day we need to have certain standards of comparison in order to evaluate properly.”
As a result, he will devote a part of the lecture to showing how the ability to read, understand, and compare older poetry is an aid to the reading and enjoyment of modern works.
Dr. Sedgewick believes that an appreciation for old and modern poetry serves as a source of “liberation for the mind.”
Just Try to Get Apple Pie in the Student Union
by Bob Lander
All we wanted was a plain, American piece of apple pie. The request was not a great one to make of a waitress in the Student Union fountain. My friend wanted a piece with ice cream on top and I wanted a plain piece and coffee.
Not so simple was the obtaining of the pie. When the waitress returned empty handed, we looked at her in askance.
“Where is the pie,” we demanded.
“It is true that there is a whole apple pie in the case, but it is uncut,” she replied.
“But that is very simple.
Master Theses Dates Named
July 18: Final day to present theses in final form to committee chairmen for final approval of committee.
July 29: Final day to present theses to the Dean, fully approved and ready for binding.
Cut it,” both of us countermanded.
“But the girl behind the counter does not wish to have it cut until the single piece of custard pie is sold.” The waitress smiled, hoping we would not blame her. We could both see that she was entirely blameless—and with her china-blue eyes too.
I looked across the table at my friend and I felt that the same thought struck us at once. Instantly visions of the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence — everything
that apple pie stands for, all that is American leaped to the fore of my mind. No! We would not be coerced into eating custard pie! It was un-American!
Pat, the chier waitress was called and she promptly admitted the whole idea of not cutting a pie when it was meant for sale was ridiculous. The young woman behind the counter was called over and asked why.
Still she remained adamant and still we had no pie.
George Moore, manager of the Student Union fountain, was called on the telephone. Upon his arrival from the depths of the kitchen a conference ensued with the chief waitress, then with the young woman who was witholding the pie.
Our waitress helped to explain the situation. Another conference took place. Finally our waitress departed to the service counter. Moore turned from talking to Pat. We waited expectantly for the verdict. Moore marched back
Registrar’s Office Notice
NOTICE—STUDENT GRADE REPORTS All students in the present session should file self-addressed stamped envelopes at the office of the registrar on or before the last day of the session so as to secure grade reports and maintain a complete file for reference and for presenting to the faculty adviser at each registration.
Theron Clark, Registrar.
Dr. Pettengill to Address Croup
The Baptist preference students and their friends are invited to a meet Wednesday, July 22, at the YWCA house, corner of 36th street and Hoover street.
The meeting will occur at 11:45 for luncheon to be served for 35c.
Dr. Robert Pettengill of the USC faculty, will discuss the topic, “Christians in a Post-War World.”
Reservations for this luncheon should be made by Tuesday, at the YWCA house with Mrs. Grant or by phoning the president of the group, Helen Jean Hahn, at Granite 5985.
Polyzoides to Address Administrators Monday
to the service counter.
“Cut the pie,” he ordered. Meanwhile, our waitress was returning, but without any pie. She had a look of stark terror on her face. Hysterics were creeping across her features. She stifled a little cry with her hand. We quieted her, then listened to her tale.
“That pie,” she said, her face a mask, “that pie isn’t apple. It’s apricot.”
Strange, is it not, how that even as close to us as the Student Union fountain, fifth columnists tend to exist.
Baxter Reads New Poetry
“Poetry between the wars,” written between 1919 and 1940, which reflects the spirit of the times and the trend of thought in those turbulent years, will be read by Dr. Frank Baxter, head of the department of English, during noon in Bowne hall, Monday, starting at 11:45 a.m.
1 During the summer term Dr. Baxter has read works of many of the world’s great poets/ which are expressive of a century of war. Monday’s poetry reading session, which Dr. Baxter has called “Aftermath and Wasteland,” is the next to the last of the summer poetry series.
During the Monday session the English department'head will read poetry which was written during the era between the close of the last great war and the opening of the present conflict—work which is characterized by general intellectual pacifism, and the world-wide feeling of futlity born of the failure of the League of Nations to maintain a peaceful world.
Dr. Baxter plans to read poetic selections which are reflective of the people and the times of the past two decades and which carry out the main theme, “Aftermath and Wasteland.”
“War and Our Destiny” will be the subject of Adamantios Th. Polyzoides, lecturer in international relations and journalism, when he

The request was not a great one to make of a waitress in the Student Union fountain. My friend wanted a piece with ice cream on top and I wanted a plain piece and coffee. Not so simple was the obtaining of the pie. When the waitress returned empty handed, we looked at her in askance. “Where is the pie,” we demanded. “It is true that there is a whole apple pie in the case, but it is uncut,” she replied. “But that is very simple.

July 29: Final day to present theses to the Dean, fully approved and ready for binding. Cut it,” both of us countermanded. “But the girl behind the counter does not wish to have it cut until the single piece of custard pie is sold.” The waitress smiled, hoping we would not blame her. We could both see that she was entirely blameless—and with her china-blue eyes too. I looked across the table at my friend and I felt that the same thought struck us at once. Instantly visions of the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence — everything that apple pie stands for, all that is American leaped to the fore of my mind. No! We would not be coerced into eating custard pie! It was un-American! Pat, the chier waitress was called and she promptly admitted the whole idea of not cutting a pie when it was meant for sale was ridiculous. The young woman behind the counter was called over and asked why. Still she remained adamant and still we had no pie. George Moore, manager of the Student Union fountain, was called on the telephone. Upon his arrival from the depths of the kitchen a conference ensued with the chief waitress, then with the young woman who was witholding the pie. Our waitress helped to explain the situation. Another conference took place. Finally our waitress departed to the service counter. Moore turned from talking to Pat. We waited expectantly for the verdict. Moore marched back Registrar’s Office Notice NOTICE—STUDENT GRADE REPORTS All students in the present session should file self-addressed stamped envelopes at the office of the registrar on or before the last day of the session so as to secure grade reports and maintain a complete file for reference and for presenting to the faculty adviser at each registration. Theron Clark, Registrar. Dr. Pettengill to Address Croup The Baptist preference students and their friends are invited to a meet Wednesday, July 22, at the YWCA house, corner of 36th street and Hoover street.

Polyzoides to Address Administrators Monday to the service counter. “Cut the pie,” he ordered. Meanwhile, our waitress was returning, but without any pie. She had a look of stark terror on her face. Hysterics were creeping across her features. She stifled a little cry with her hand. We quieted her, then listened to her tale. “That pie,” she said, her face a mask, “that pie isn’t apple. It’s apricot.” Strange, is it not, how that even as close to us as the Student Union fountain, fifth columnists tend to exist. Baxter Reads New Poetry “Poetry between the wars,” written between 1919 and 1940, which reflects the spirit of the times and the trend of thought in those turbulent years, will be read by Dr. Frank Baxter, head of the department of English, during noon in Bowne hall, Monday, starting at 11:45 a.m. 1 During the summer term Dr. Baxter has read works of many of the world’s great poets/ which are expressive of a century of war. Monday’s poetry reading session, which Dr. Baxter has called “Aftermath and Wasteland,” is the next to the last of the summer poetry series. During the Monday session the English department'head will read poetry which was written during the era between the close of the last great war and the opening of the present conflict—work which is characterized by general intellectual pacifism, and the world-wide feeling of futlity born of the failure of the League of Nations to maintain a peaceful world. Dr. Baxter plans to read poetic selections which are reflective of the people and the times of the past two decades and which carry out the main theme, “Aftermath and Wasteland.” “War and Our Destiny” will be the subject of Adamantios Th.
