Findings Gain Repute Dr. Mead, during the period from 1928 t o 1933, studied four New Guinea tribes in collaboration with D r . Leo F. Fortune, and while in this Pacific island, lived in native villages, par ticipated in their community life and spoke the native languages of the vari ous tribes, H e r last trip to N e w Guin ea and Bali was taken with h e r hus band, Gregory Bateson, English an thropologist. Much of her work in the years after she had finished her Columbia research were spent in studying children and sex. She studied three tribes to determine to what de gree temperamental differences between the sexes were innate and to what de gree they were culturally determined. H e r scientific findings on this problem becam e world famous and as a result exploded the older theories which held that physiological factors were the determinants of differences between man and woman. The findings of her studies on this problem were published in 1935 in Sex and Temperament in T h r e e Primitive Societies, Throughout next week, D r . Mead’s published works will be placed on a special shelf in the library so that stu dents will have an opportunity to gain a n insight of her wide variety of in terests. D r. Mead has also been in vited. to speak before the Community Research Seminar during her visit here.

Boyle has arranged for 33 scene changes, including six songs and an array of short skits and black outs. Many of these have been rewrit ten and certain of the songs have original verses to fit the mood of the evening.

Eddy Tea Features General Song Session With a group of Comstock House residents presenting two selections which recently won for them the an nual inter-house sing at William Smith, a long musical session on Sun day afternoon highlighted the con cluding A ll-College tea to be given this year by M rs. W. A. Eddy. With Commencement but a few weeks hence, the popular campus hostess plans a Senior tea during the inter vening period. Miss Sunny Bond and Cartwright Hart led in the general song session which followed the presentations of the Comstock girls. Pouring at tea were: M rs. C a rl B . Taylor, Mrs. Robert E. Doran, _ Mrs. Thomas Quigley and M rs. Clifford E. Orr, Having decided several weeks ago that their reserve funds might be placed to the advantage of the Na tional Defense effort if they were converted into Defense Bonds, mem bers of Sigma Chi Fraternity this week saw the completion of such a project when $2,000 worth, of the cer tificates were placed in t h e hands of the chapter officers by t h e president of the local National Bank. .According to members o f the group, tbe action on the part o f the ITobart Sigma Chis represents one o f the largest bond acquisitions on the part of any o f the numerous Sigma Chi Chapters. Although t b e organization h a d hoped to invest the total of its re serves in Defense Bonds, it w a s de cided that provision against emergen c y would require that o n ly half of the amount be so disposed. The bonds, DEBATERS FINISH SEASON TOMORROW Rapidly bringing to a conclusion one o f the most successful seasons in r e cent years, the debating1 team of H o bart and William. Smith Colleges w ill engage the University of Rochester tomorrow night at 8: OO p.nx. at the Sigma Phi place, in t h e final inter collegiate contest of the semester. The issue fo r discussion w i l l lie the n a tional question, Resolved: That the Federal Goz’ernrncnl should regulate, by lazv all labor unions' in the United States. Upholding the affirmative for tbe home colleges in this decision contest -will be Miss Dorothea Devins and Charles H. Thompson. This combina tion has been highly successful dur ing the year, holding a decision over Fordham, and also playing a major role in the recent victory registered by the team at the Northeastern Obio Debate Conference held during Spring Yacation at Kent, Ohio. Although this tilt concludes the for mal inter-collegiatc competition for the school year, the debating group lias still remaining several scheduled round table appearances. Following the debate, refreshments will be served and the rugs will be pulled back to allow for dancing. which arrived here on Monday after noon, will m ature in twelve years, yielding in the meantime a modest rate of interest. Action tow a r d the bond purchas ing was first taken late in January when a committee consisting of Elting Wells, Jam es Dumary and Earl Popham w a s appointed to investigate tlie details connected with the pro posed move. Upon further consideration, mem bers of the Sigma Chi organization decided that their funds might be of no use should they remain idle in the bank. And since satisfactory arrange ments for investing in Government Bonds were easily to be made, the project came to fulfillment early this week. With house-treasurer Wells per forming a leading role in the im portant bond-purchasing action, Presi dent Dwight S. Palmer likewise proved to b e a leader in the step which brings no small amount of credit both to the fraternity and to the col lege. Hopkins to Demonstrate Famed Piano Technique; Band Recognized Abroad By George V\. Palermo Claude Hopkins, who w ill be heard with his internationally known or chestra at the Hobart Junior Prom on Friday evening, April 24th, has appeared at exactly fifty-five universi ty and college dances during the past ye a r as a part of his annual tour, m aking him probably the record hold er o n the College Swing Circuit. Seniors and underclassmen at Yale, Cornell and Dartmouth have danced to the Hopkins rhythms three times each during the past year while stu dents at Syracuse, the University of Pennsylvania, Princeton, Pitt and H o w a rd College brought t h e Hopkins c r e w back twice each for their proms. S o many colleges have booked the H a rlem ite band that Hopkins and his 14 hand-picked associates have earned the enviable reputation of being Har lem ’ s “ A m b a s s a d o r s of College Sw ing.” Long o n Top Possessing a band that has kept its identity and name before the public fo r almost 20 years, the Hopkins out fit made a brilliantly successful Eu ropean tour as early as 1926, when after their revue closed, they were engaged for the Theatre National de L’ Opera in Paris ; the Cirque Royal in Brussels, where they played a com mand performance for th e late King A lb e r t ; at the Scala and Nelson The atres in Bremen; the Palace Theatre in Barcelona, and. the Royal Theatre in Budapest. Back home, Claude w a s immediate ly signed up for the musical show, “ Ginger Snaps” and then, after tour in g the country with the company set tled down to a steady routine o f broad casting and ballroom assignments. F o r several years he w a s almost a permanent feature at the Roseland Ballroom , New York’s finest ball room, leaving only occasionally for dance tours and college engagements. Before starting his current tour he played for an entire season at the Cotton Club from where he w a s heard o n the air, the o n ly band, broadcasting from Harlem, Regarded throughout the land as the kind o f whirlwind pianists, because of h is unique style and delivery heard through his regular C B S network programs, few people are familiar with his unusual ability as an ar ranger and composer o f many song hits.

American Water Colors Shown at Chase in April Currently attracting no insignificant amount o f attention in the A r t Gal lery is a n exhibit of thirteen large water-color works by noted Ameri can artists. Tbe show was installed early last week by Assistant Profes sor Norman Kent and will remain on display until the end of this month. March o f Time Given Today’ s All-College meeting fea tured a showing of the moving pic ture “C risis in the Pacific” , a March of Time sister picture of “ Crisis in the Atlantic” , which was presented here not long ago. Slated to be a 16 m.m. sound ver sion o f the story of a young man who is leaving college to enter the Army and his attempt to te ll his younger brother what college i s all about, why his education i s important to him be cause he is going in the Army and because he expects to use it after wards. Many scenes fam iliar to Ho bart men will find their w a y into the picture, but many others w ill be left out, for the production will run only twenty minutes, with nothing to be included which is not pertinent to the story. A _ large number o f Hobart and William Smith students w ill appear in the film with the leading male and female roles being taken b y Franklin Baldwin, ’42, and Miss Marilynn Stubbe, ’44, respectively. T h e picture, which is expected to make its debut as a finished product sometime during the Summer, w ill not appear as one o f the customary tours of the campus, but will be de voted to the task of interpreting the value of higher education for young men and young women in a nation a t war.
