Studied At Harvard

Dr. Wells' is associate professor of physiology at Vanderbilt Uni­versity. He studied a year at Harvard und&r Prof. Walter B. Cannon, and for the past 12 years has been at Vanderbilt in the de­partments of pharmacology and physiology. He is a graduate of Johns Hopkins.

Dean Carpenter said he is ex­pecting one of the largest crowds .Qf . the school year tG hear Dr. Wells.

To Have Pertinent Theme

"He will speak on n theme ev. ery student will be interested in," Dr. Carpenter said. "It will be on some phase of biology, chem­istry and physics as they relate to man. Dr. Wells has recently writ· tim a ·· book on that subject, and k~ows bow to approach .the sub· ject from a layman's point of view.',

In recommending Dr. Wells to the student body here, Dr. W. E. Gary, head of the Vanderbilt de­partment of physiology, said, "He is easily the keenest intellect in our young scientific group today. His research is fundamental and noteworthy ,and bas mllJn>y clinic­nl applications. His exposition is clear, with a rare sense of the fundamentals of his subject." Wake Forest Oollege, :along with

eight other liberal arts colleges and universities, was accorded on December 13 nomination to iUem­bersbip in• the United· Chapters of Phi Beta Kappa ,national scl!olas­tic honor society, by the society's senate at its annual meeting in the board roo~ of the 'Carnegie

Designed by the WRAL offi­cials as a "Discovery of Talent" search, the group have not re­stricted the try-outs to any par­ticular phase of the · co1lege cur­riculum.

PENDERGAST SPEAKS

1 ohn Pendergast, accused in ihe Charlotte News of being a traitor, wishes to make lmown to all and sundry that ''it ain't · so."

Pendergast was supposed, by. Clemson publicity agents, to·

have given valuable informs· tion on Clemson plays to Bos­ton College, in order that their game struggle with Clemson in the Cotton Bl)wl might be eased. "Goose," however, says that he

knew nothing of the charges un­til he returnoo. from his Christ· mas vacation; furthermore he didn't even see a B. C. coach, much Jess talk to one.

PRE-REGISTRATION

The annual period for pre· registration for the spring se­mester, as ann.ounced today by the Registrar, will begin Mon· day, January 8, and e&~~tinue through the week. Each stu. dent who will have any form of schedule change for the coming semester is expected to coop­erate with this office in making the necessary adjustment.

All members of the fresh· man class must see their faculty advisors and arrange for a con­ference before the period of pre-registration. The confer· ences will begin Tuesday.

Upperclassmen who attend pre-registration and have no changes to make in their sche­dule for the spring semester, are given preference at that time, and are directed into a rapidly. moving line. Only those students who f"md it nee· essary to consult the Registrar before registration m~Jy be com· pleted are delayed in the regis. tration halL

CoDege Bell Tolls To Call His Students For

Last Time

"No 'member of the Wake Forest faculty has more anecdotes associated with his name and personality than Dr. Benjamin Sledd, who died at his· Wake Forest horne Thursday morning. According to an old student of his, it was nothing for him to read "Hainlet'' froin cover to cover, using the wrong boo~ and it turned upside down. That was characteristic of the literary genius, whose influence on Wake Forest College has loomed, and still looms, on the mental hori­zons of men for over fifty years.

Scores of his "boys" returned to Wake Forest yesterday to attend funeral services for Dr. Benjamin Sledd which were held at the church at three o'clock, following his death Thursday morning, after an illness <Jf several weeks.

The seventy-five year-old· poet . and teacher was buried in the lo­

cal ~emet~ry, after the filllal rites in the church. .

Known to the members of his. classes as "Old Slick" for the fifty years of his active classroom work as a member of the college faculty, the character of Dr. Sledd has be­come a part of Wake Forest. In his passing the 106 year-old institution has lost its "Grand Genius of Literature," who, as a professor of students and leader of men, walked the red brick walks of the magnolia-covered cam·

pus.

The college bell which for fifty years summoned him and his stu­dents to classes tolled for a quar­ter of an hour as the "boys" and other friends filed into the church.

But his influence cannot be· restricted to the relatively small space of the Wake Forest campus; it extends to the most remote parts of North Carolina, all over the South-even into the distant corners of what scientists have called ."the Earth." Into the souls of men he breathed his distinguished spirit of DR. SLEDD love and appreciation, as he, himself, breathed the very essence of beauty and life from Classrooms,. books, and his fellow-men.

Dazian Fund Is Seen As Aid for Research

Proceedings

Possibilities f<Jr expanded re­search by 'the medical school dur­ing the coming year were announc­ed today by Dr. C. C .Carpenter, dean ,who with other members of the faculty spent part of the Christmas holidays working 011 the project.

Dean Carpenter visited iru New York and Philadelphia in the in­terest of the school and contacted the Commonwealth and Dazian Foundations which are now aiding medical schools with study grants and which may increase Wake Forest's income i.n the future as pla<ns for the expanded medical school at Winston-Salem develop.

The · Daziim Fund, which pro­vides m<Jney for research, is for $1,900 this year and Dr. Carpen­ter said officials indicated he might hope for from $3,000 .to $4,000 next year.

Artom Praised A fact of peculiar interest in

connection with the application for this fund, Dr. Carpenter said, is that Dr. A>lexis Carrell, famed writer-scientist, a member of .the Fund.'s board of trustees, <:ompli­mented the research ,of Dr. Ca.mil­lo.Artom.of· the Wake Forest bio­chemistry department by declal·­ing it very outstanding and saying Dr .. Artom's plans for next year are even more promising. Dr. Ar­tom· was rated as one of the high­est of .those who applied for re­search aid.

The Commo.nwealth Fund as­sists with student scholarships and faculty fellowships for postgradu­ate study, ood especially leans to­ward aiding rural boys .to study medicine on the condition that they return to a rural area to practice.

Mackie Tries Also Dr. George C. Mackie went to

Summit, New Jersey, to discuss research work with the Ciba Pharmaceutical Company which is sponsoring a $3,000 project in re­search in pharmacology here this year.

The grant is expected to be continued and possibly enlarged, it was learned.

Dr. R. P. Morehead, of the pa· thol<Jgy department, attended s mect~ng of the American Society for the Study of Neoplastic Diseases in Johns Hopkins Uni­versity in Baltimore, where he ex· hibited a rare tumor which ex­perts there said was the first of that type ever recorded·.

pride was his unsulled name. The great mark of his life was an instinctive nobility which abomi­nated the dishonest and mean."

Fitting, indeed, "Lead Kindly Light," "Abide With Me," and "Jerusalem the Golden" were the songs used at the final rites.

Hundreds displayed their love for their gra.nd old master; some stood silent before the open cof. fin; others sent letters of per­s.,nal grief; and numbers conveyed their sorrow by sending telegrams. "While hundreds are extending their sympathies," a typical mes­sage would read, "I want to in· elude mine. Dr. Sledd was my dearest professor." One man, who was a freshmSQl at Wake F·orest during Dr. Sledd's first year as a member of the faculty, came to pay his respects to his "first and greatest" master-teacher .

Eight Meredith girls of the As­tro Literary Society, headed by Miss N' ancy Brewer, Astro presi­dent, will give a program in the Euzelian Hall at 7 p. m. ne~t Monday night.

Euzelian officials here profess no knowledge as to the nature of the program, but it is rumQred that all eight of the Angels are seniors and practice teacher.>. More rumor has it that they !J:re planning to give a skit to reveaJ. their ideals as to the true speci­merv of manhood. "If this be true," said· Jiin Copple, president of the Monday night session, "con­sidering the fact .that Meredith teachers are known for their tena: cious holds and clinging qualities, I can promise that this skit will be· nothing less than a sensational e•n~ightenment."

The M!leting, Greeting and Eat­ing· committee is selecting eight Eu men on the basis of their mor-· a! character, intellectual develop­ment, and conversational ability to . escort the Meredith Astros to the evening meal-at the society's expense.

There is '110 admission charge and the public is i~wited to the program. However, there will b~ no reservation of seats or stand­ing ro.om.
