faculty lecture dr hicks of the biology depart ment literally sang the first chorus of yes we have no bananas tues day afternoon in the grosvenor library when he delivered the weekly faculty lecture the herbaceous plant has been victimized by a fungus disease which is menacing the fruit and which threatens to relegate it to the class of distinct plants he said the banana is one of the plants over which the biologist has no con trol prof hicks lamented the banana of the stores can never be improved by crossing so long as it fails to produce the seeds found in the fruit of its relatives growing wild while the biologist cannot improve the banana he has an almost super human task at the present time to combat the diseases which infest it the fruit is threatened by a fungus disease and unless a resistant variety is found botanists returning from the tropics tell us that it will not be long before bananas will be quite scarce the malthusian prognostication that population is growing out of propor tion to the food supply so that famine will be consequential is apt to be be realized dr hicks pointed out continuing it seems no idle specula tion in view of present conditions to cap and gown

structural influences at the last honors meeting march 7 miss ruth witherstine of the greek and latin department gave an illus trated lecture on greek and roman architecture and its adaptations to modern use miss witherstine ex plained the principles underlying the classic forms and showed how the greeks constructed their buildings and temples without using mortar the pieces fitting into one another pic tures of the porch of the maidens from the erechtheum on the acropo lis reminded us of dickey hallibur ton's romantic adventure when he talked to these damsels one moon light night most people do not know that there is a copy of the porch of the maidens at one end of our own albright art gallery our electric building shows the in fluence of the monument type of greek architecture in the column arrangement around a cylindrical shaped building and also other greek influence in decoration up where the aviators can see it the roman architecture became more ornate as they elaborated and modified greek forms their use of the ceiling motif is reflected in our modern banks and theatres the capitol at washington has for its basic idea the dome type of structure which appeared in the pantheon of rome on the tomb of hadrian from a church known by the beautiful name of santa maria della rotunda the capitol though built piecemeal at different times is one of the finest examples of artistic unity and balance in the united states there are more illus trations of the classic influence in washington than in any other city the post office the washington monu ment and the lovely lincoln memorial are well-known examples the historical society building on elmwood avenue with its doric pil lars and the natural history museum in humboldt parkway show us how the old ideas become new again an 1 unusual feature of the museum is in i the use of color in the entablature • something that the greeks themselves used to do try to discover pegasus up on the cornice next time you go to the museum the theatre of dionysus still well preserved at athens is the dignified prototype of our raging football stadium wherein an old greek brought back to earth might feel at home even if he didn't recognize the people edmund hayes hall is an example of the comulative colonial type of architecture combining early roman and georgian and post-roman we wish to thank miss witherstine for a very enjoyable and instructive talk the next honors meeting march 21 will be under the auspices of the student honors committee and will be in the form of an exposition on the much-mooted subject of evolu tion by dr carol fenton of the gen eral science department this will be followed by discussion mussolini methods are criticised by dean park the fortnightly meeting of the in ternational
