prominent positions on the university faculty staff is rapidly increasing the latest initiative revealed is miss helen dwight reid who we under stand is quite an accomplished actress — a la sarah bernhard ethel barry more and jeanne eagels she played leading roles in two plays presented by the drama group of the local branch of the american association of university women at the organization's spring dinner re union in the hotel statler tuesday evening the program consisted of playgoers by arthur wing pinero and two slatterns and a king by edna st vincent millay anomalous histrionic ability and marked dra matic fineness are attributed to miss reid's stellar performance dr martin speaks on new humanism at honors meeting dr william a martin of the park school and the buffalo evening news spoke on the new humanism of irv ing babbitt before the honors group at their last meeting dr martin said a change in litera ture is due about every decade and one is now due the young people are expressing a dislike of sinclair lewis dreiser and the american mercury they are weary of natural ism of irregular lines of verse and intimate confessionals irving bab liitt has the remedy the new hu manism which is totally unlike the humanism of the renaissance the new humanism is a well-bred state of mind it acts as a check it is an exercise of control babbitt talks of the will to refrain and quotes emer son's inner check it seems to be a sort of pseudo-classicism babbitt is evidently influenced by sophocles aristotle seventeenth century france especially boileau and pope neither babbitt nor paul elmer moore his associate in humanism show any interest in contemporary literature which they think is hope lessly muddled they believe that there has been no great literature since pericles with few exceptions they grudgingly allow shakespeare for he was not a humanist having ex perienced all kinds of emotion but milton is accepted gladly the whole system is ethical rather than aesthetic and is also negative the ethics are calvanistic and all the disciples are more concerned with tell ing us what it is not than what it is it is not uncharted imagination nor unrestrained emotionalism nor a ro mantic retreat from reality nor ex treme individualism a broad well balanced unassertive society is to be preferred to specialization and the nature they speak of is civilization not the countryside or the instinct senior dance set for night of commencement the senior class of 1930 has de cided to hold a dance shortly after commencement with the intention of establishing a precedent
