YALE ARCHAEOLOGISTSPEAKS AT FINAL

CONVOCATIONTELLS OF

EXCA VAnONSIN MESOPOTAMIAProfessor Rostov tzetf gave a most

Interest tng talk Tuesday at the final

convocation of the year on the re-sults of the Yale excavations at theDour-a on the Euphrates. Grey and

erony is the stretch of desert where

once stood Doura, an Impor-tant mili-tary and trading center of Mesopo-tamia, the flourishing community ofthe Ma.ced c nian s, Greeks, Pnr-t hia ne;

and Arabs for about six: centuries,

from the time of its founding, soon

arter- the death of Alexander the

Great, to the time of its untimelyabandonment in the .turmol l of the

social and political crisis of the Ro-man empire in the Lhh-d century A. D.

Powerful black walls and towersstt"t surround the ruins of the cityDOUl'a, which is covered by a deeplayer of sand, not deep enough, how-ever, to conceal the main architec-tural lines or each building which isbeneath the sand. Overhanging theDuphr-ates stands the skele-ton or thecitadel, flanked by surong towerswhich protected the two entrancegates. A broad street, the continua-tion of the Car-avan or r-oad of thedesert, divides the city into two parts.Other streets, both parallel and per-pendrcutar to the- main thoroughfare,cross each other at r-ight arrgbes, form-ing regular blocks just as in a mod-ern American city.

Having shown lantern slides of thecitadel and of the palace of the mili-tary governor excavated last year, Prof.Rostovtzeff passed >tothe Roman bathwith its wonderful system of heat-ing pipes and its heM8d floors. Thento the temple of Bel, the mighty godof ligh.t an.d warmth, to the templeof AtargaJtes, the great mother~god-dess in, the Near East, to ,the mailngate which admitted to the city thosewho crossed the city from Beirut,Damascus, Palmyra, headed for Meso-potamia, and gave. exit from the cityto those who travelled from Iran,Babylonia, andl Mesopotamia towa..Tdthe Syrian and Phoenician coast.

Prof. Rostovtz.eff also discussed anumber of important finds in Doura,among them a re'Jl1arkable Vidory,unique specimen of the GI'eco-II'anianart of the Parthians, a slender figurewith a profusion of crude colors;sev-eral samples of Parthian jE!lwelry;sillver coins; business documents onpar'C-hment papyrus; inscriptions cutin stone or painted. or scratched onthe walls.

The work. at Dourn., Prof. Rostovt-zeff concluded, is fal" from finished.The most important problems therestill await their solutions.

Charlotte Nixon '32, is at present inthe Infirmary with a broken ankle andseveral cuts in the head received in anautomobile accident last Saturday.Miss Nixon was driving throughWindsor, Connecticut with a friendfrom Holyoke, Massachusetts, whentheir car, a Buick was hit by a Forddriver.

Miss Nixon was taken to Dr. Pratt,of Windsor, and th-en to the HartfordHospital where her ankle was X-rayedand dressed. Several stitches weretaken in the cuts in her head. MissNixon's compaion received several badbruises, and a severe nervous shock.

Dorothy Bayley, '28, Outlines Plans forAlumnae Headquarters In N, Y C.

Big Project On Foot By Alumnae

Dorothy Bayley, former President ofStudent Government, returned to cam-pus recently to address the SeniorClass and the students who I1ve in NewYork and New Jersey. Miss Bayleyexplained the present plans of the NewYOI'k Alumnae for a permanent head-quarters at 18 Gramercy Park in NewYork.

The Alumnae wish to raise moneyto pay for a small suite in nhe hotel,which "ill give both Alumnae and un-dergraduates the privilege of using thelarger r-ooms for meetings, bridges, orany kind of social gathering. With C.C.'s headquarters at the hotel" anyalumna or undergraduate may take aroom .there at reduced rates.

In order to raise the sum of moneynecessary to obtain the suite for thecoming year, the New York Chapterof the Alumnae Assoctatton is sponsor-ing a benefit performance of HopeWilliams' new play, "Rebound" onSaturday afternoon, March 29th.

TOSCHA SEIDEL TOPLA Y MARCH 20

Thursday evening, March 20, ToschaSeidel will be heard in Bu lke.ley Au-df tor-Ium, under the auspices of theConnecticut College Concert Commit-tee. Seidel's appearance will be partof the transcontinental tour in whichthe artist is now engaged.

Born in Odessa in 1899, ToschaSeidel made his debut at th-e age ofsixteen. He played with a maturrtv

seldom heard in so young an artist,and with an authority and dignitywhich were exceptional. His Ameri-can debut in 1918 was as successful ashis Euro,pean one, and since thenToscha Seidel has held a niche au-piciously high among the violinists ofthe world. In 1922 he made a wo:rldtour from Engiand and France toAmerica, Australia, New Zealand, andHonolulu. Everywhere he attainedremarkable s,uccesses.

It is impossible to say enough 'OfToscha Seidel's genius. True beautycan be revealed only when techniqueand the soul of the artist are p€-rfect-ly blended. It is a born secret re-vealed only to those who possess thegreat gift. This secret and this giftSeidel possesses. To quote a famouscritic, "Tosch a Seid-el was kissed by thegods as he came through the clouds."This is rare llraise. Seidel's great artis based on a marvelous technicalfaculty, a limpid lovely warm 'tone, anatural grace, and a deep down in-aTticulate understanding of the musicthat is in his soul and the souls of thegreat ones who wrote the music whichhe so exquisitely conv£ys through hisinstrument.

Toscha Seidel has broadcast severaltimes and enjoys doing it. March 20,the artist will be visible to the audi-ence and they may enjoy his magneticpersonality as well as his wonderfulinstrument.

Every musk lover will find his pro-gram full of beauty. The ticket salefor this concert begins March 14.

lCrawl down in yo.ur burrows;Hide your foO'1ish heads.

Think you'll findl our mascotUnderneath our beds?

Mtss Bayley urged everybody to buytickets, and said, that in case girls willnot be in New York at that time, anycontributions from those girls will bevery welcome. The Alumnae are of-fering three different prices on thetrckers-c-s a.su. $3.00, and $2.50, clear-ing one dollar on each ticket. (If youtake two tickets you'll be doing yourshare to put this over with a bang!)

The money is for a good cause, andsome day when you are stranded inNew Yor-k with no roof over yourhead, you will be glad you contributedyour dollar (or more!) when you re-member that C. C. has a headquartersat 18 Gramercy Park, a perrecttv de-lightful residence-hotel (or women.So, be ready with a generous heartand a full nocket-book when you areapproached to buy a ticket or to con-tribute a dollar.

Gwen 'I'h omen has charge of theticket sale and contributions on cam-pus and will welcome visitors to Win-throp at any time.

COMMITTEESCHOSEN FORCOMPETITIVE

PLAYSWork on the interclass competitive

plays, which are to be given on April11 and 25, has progressed in eachclass as far as the choosing of playcommitt-ees. Contrary to the ueuetcustom the Senior and Junior playswill be presented first, giving the leasexperienced underclassmen th-e ad-vantage of the last tmpresston uponthe judges. Since only one week is al-lowed to each clasS' for preparation,the reading and selection of plays,with try-outs and the first rehearsalsimmediately following, will not bedone by the Seniors and Ju,niors untilthe week before Spring vacation. Itis expected that the classes will showenthusiastic 'Cooperati'on at the try-outs, since the competitive plays offerthe only opportunity for class dra-matic presentations at the college.

The committees -that have been se-lected are:

EDITORIAL--------PERSONNEL

At a time when ma.ny of us are be-ginning in ea.rnest to think of n'8xtyear in terms of its bread-earning pos-sibilities, ,ye feel it pertinent to call tothe attention of the Seniors in par-ticular those lectures which in the pastfew weeks have been offered by thePersonnel Bureau of this college in an.effort to aid the Seniors in choosingtheir work for ne:"..t year.Recently il.he opportunity has been

open to hear a number of lecture& onwidely varied subjects--secretarial op-pOl'tunlties, camp work, teaching inthe private school field, and depart-ment store work-all presented bywomen well qualified to speak of theirrespective fields.Such oPPOl'tunities afforded through

the medium of the Personnel Bureaushould not be neglected by those whodefinitely plan to work, Nor, for thatmatter, should they be overlooked bythose who do not plan to work butwho (without our wishing anyone anymisfortune) might be confronted laterwith the necessity of work and whowill be armed with but scant knowl-edge of the opportunities offered invarious fields of aotivity,The Personnel Bureau hopes to con-

tinue its program of lectures, but ishandicapped by the small attendanceat the lectures for the simple reasonthat most speakers refuse to lectureunless an audienCe of a certain nu-m-bel', fifty perhaps, or more, is guar-anteed,For the help of all concerned then,

we urge the students to remark theselectures and for those who would liketo hear from any particular field atactivity, to carry that suggestion to thePersonnel Bureau,

Well, here's something new,They've been smelling a clueWith their wigglety pigglety noses!But I know a storyOf a tortoise in gloryAnd a funny old bunny that dozes!

Little, Brown, and Compa-ny-$2.50

In her second book, Heirs, CorneliaJames Cannon, the author of Red Rust,has again used as her theme the situ-ation of the immigrants' place inAmerican life today. Mrs. Carmonwrites from the point of view of awoman intensely interested in fusingthe best of the native American capa-cities and of the potenttauttee of theimmigrant into the America whichshe wishes to see----an economicallyIndependent country where the g'r eat-est number of people can be happy.Using as the vehicle for her study

the story or the life of MarillaLampr-ey, a small-town school teach-er. Mrs. Cannon limits her story tothe scene of New England Idf'81, Shegives a clear picture of the economicconditions in New England wheee theenfeebled ptoneer stock ts bedrig- re-placed by the strong, hardworkingEuropean peasant. Mrs. Cannon seesthe solution to the question in thehands of what she- calls the "best NeiwEngland typ,e"-the person who,\'lshes to retain the native character-istics of tohe country while he turnsthe immigrants into "good Ameri-cans" who will save New E-ngland'sindustry by their liJ:'1e,lesslaborr. SethMalton, Madlln's hus'band, is such aNew Englande'r-l'eserved, kindlry 'butcalculating, and incessantly workingfor the betterment of his New Hamp-shire and the stabiliZing of its condi-tions.Mrs, Cannon is 'Optimistic in her

picture and feels that her ideal of aforward-looking New England will beachieved through the wise control ofSeth Malton and others like 'him, Itis disappointing' that Mrs. Cannonlooks for nothing higher than eco-nomic happiness in her ideftil f-o·r fu-tUI'e Am'edca.The two main characters of the
