The elegiac dramatization of the
Book of Lamentations to be presented
by Prof. B. P. Farquhar's Bible Literature class in chapel Tuesday, April
29, at the regular chapel period Is as
sured to be one of the best chapel programs the University has had In years.
Professor Farquhar has made this
exquisite Old Testament elegy Into a
drama that depicts the emotions of
the Hebrew people exiled from their
own city of Jerusalem to Babylon. The
main theme of the drama is the sorrow
of the captured tribe of Judah, who,
at the downfall of their city, were
placed in subjection by their adversaries and driven from their native land
because they had sinned and knew not

their

Qod.

The scene of the elegy is laid outside the city wall of Jerusalem immediately after its destruction by the
Babylonians in 586 B. C. The total destruction of the city came as a shock
to th'e citizens of Jerusalem who had
not heeded the warnings of their
prophets, Ezra and Nehemlah, that the
Lord would bring affliction and misery
on His sinning people. The final destruction of the city in 586 B. C. was
positive proof to the old prophets that
the Lord had fulfilled His vow.
The drama begins with a procession
of exiles, elders and women of Jeru
salem, driven by a Babylonian soldier,
led past the ruined city with its temple
pillars yet standing where the Wom
an of Jerusalem sits despondently
with the only true Prophet of the
tribe who has refused to leave his
abandoned city.
This dramatization will prove in
tensely interesting since It brings out
more vividly than the text can do
the elegiac beauty of the book, brought
out by entiphonal dialogue and dramatic scenes of emotion. It is par
ticularly interesting at the present
time because the very scene where the
drama is laid, outside the city of. Jerusalem, held since the seventh century
by the Mohammedans has been captured from the Turks by the Allies,
and if the Zionist movement proves
successful, will probably be restored
to the Hebrew race.
The drama will probably be given,
Professor
Farquhar announces, at
Transylvania or Hamilton and perhaps
be taken to adjoining towns in addition to its presentation here.
Miss Elizabeth Marshall has been
chosen to play the part of the Woman
of Jerusalem with Bernard Moosnlck
the Prophet.
Charles Planck and
Frederick Jackson will be the elders
of the captured city who lead the procession toward Babylon. Lee McClain
plays the part of the Babylonian soldier, and a chorus performing the function of the Greek chorus to reflect the
emotions of the main protagonists will
be composed of the following ten girls:
Elizabeth Megowan, Ruth Thomas,
Florence Whittenhill, Vivian DeLaine,
Lucy Dean, Nettie Pushin, Dorothy
Walker, Thompson Van Deren, Eleanor Eaker, and Katharine Moglbbon,

Tribute to Their Hosts
in Lexington
University men and alumni are giv
en credit for their exhibition of Ken
tucky hospitality to the visiting mem
bers of the British Educational Mission
which inspected the University last
fall.
The Mission was making a tour of
the universities of the country, and
while they were here, they were enter
tained by a committee composed of
members of the faculty and several
men of Lexington who were former
students here. In the March number
of Scrlbner's magazine, an article appeared which consisted of the diary
kept by Arthur E. Shipley, master of
Christ's College and Vice Chancellor
of Cambridge University, England,
while he was making the tour.
The Mission was entertained at a
local club for a short while, where they
had opportunity to test some of the
products of Kentucky which has made
her famous. They all liked it. The en
tries of Mr. Shipley which refer to
Lexington, the University of Kentucky follow:
"We had been invited by the Council of Defense at Washington and were
sent out under the auspices of our own
foreign office. For more than sixty
days we went up and down this vast
country, traveling many thousands of
miles and seeing so many universities
and colleges and so many presidents
and professors that those amongst us
who had not hitherto had the privilege of visiting the United States
formed the idea that all its cities are
university cities and that all the inhabitants are professors, an idea very
awful to contemplate!
The members of the Mission represented the older universities In Eng
land as well as the big municipal uni
versities of London and of the Mid
lands of the North. The Scottish uni
versities and those of Ireland were
also represented.
"Thursday, November 21st. Every
where had we been received well, but
at Lexington there was a warm
heartedness about our hosts which
made us feel at once inhabitants of
"My Old Kentucky Home." We mo
tored out some twenty miles to the
Shaker village, where we fed on the
dishes of the South, and very good
dishes, too, in a stately home with well
proportioned rooms, and the date of
1817 over the lintel of the front door.
On the road we passed what we had
not passed before, the homes of country gentlemen who live in them, and
do not merely spend a 'week-enIn
them. They breed race horses and
race them, and raise tobacco and
smoke It; in fact, Lexington is a social
and a trading center. On returning
we saw something of the University
buildings, and inspected the Students'
Army Training Corps, now all eager
to got out of khaki. At dinner we were
cheered by nigger minstrelsy and by
a minimum of speeches. Afterwards
wo had a discussion with some of the
Governors and members of the faculty.
The value of these discussions is always inversoly proportional to the
size of the meeting. At Lexington the
meeting was small.
"Friday, November 22d. After a
hurried visit to the University farm
and to the schools of Agriculture and
d

President Emeritus Patterson has
acecpted the invitation of the Patterson Literary Society to be with them
in one of their weekly meetings. The
date will be announced later. Doctor
Patterson Is the founder and most dis
tinguished member of the society. To
his generosity the society owes the
beautiful medal given each year to the
winner of the oratorical contest.
The society met Friday night, April
18, and gave one of the year's best
programs.
Robert Warth, formerly
second lieutenant, spoke on "America's
Military Blunder." He discussed the
rejection of the Lewis machine gun,
the neglect of General Wood, and the
premature signing of the armistice.
Two numbers of especial Interest were
declamations taken from the writings
of famous Kentuckians, Walter Piper
gave Henry Watterson's great speech
on Lincoln and H. B. McGregor gave
J. Proctor Knott's masterpiece of polit
ical satire "Duluth." It is a policy of
the society to encourage researches
into Kentucky's history and literature.
A pleasant literary touch was added
to the program by W. I. Moore, who
delivered
that American favorite
among poems, "The House by the Side
of the Road."
New members who have been received recently are J. W. Baumgarten,
W. I. Moore, Emery Fraser, Boswell
and W. R. Pearlman.
