Mencken's Style Debates Announced
NEW YORK, N. Y. That H. L.
Mencken Is the outstanding critic
In America today, and that students of the present are not different from those of his undergraduate years arc the opinions expressed
by Professor Goodman of the college of the City of New York when
Interviewed recently.
His crlterlons in Judging prose

that most frequently crop up in a

will admit to you a liking for
Willa Cather, May Sinclair and then
stop to explain that one who reads
so much In contemporary literature is compelled to look for an author's purpose In writing a book
and whether lie accomplishes his
end, nnd not to think in terms of
favorites. At the risk of repetition
we will say that no one can have
any dealings with Professor Goodman and not be Inspired to read
something of Willa Cather's.
Although professors make Mr.
Mencken froth at the mouth, Professor Goodman, more tolerantly,
considers him an excellent critic, in
truth the only outstanding one in
America at present. Stuart Sherman, he would rank above Mencken
were he alive. He refers to Babbitt as a "frightfully written novel"
whose style is like that of a mediocre Journalist. He discerns in the
books
of Willa Cather, James
Branch Cabell and in The Bride of
Luis Rey, or rather in their
Ban
popularity, a definite, movement
away from naturalism and realism.
In person Professor Goodman is
short and stocky with a trace of the
aesthetic. He dresses soberly and
with unusual fastidiousness. He is
a dark visaged person. He has a
classroom laugh that approaches the
giggle of a girl and which we would
not dare try to reproduce.
He does not find the student of
today to be far different from the'
student of his day. "He has better
sense of values and knows the value
of money better," but his equipment
shows deficiencies. He hasn't read as
much and as good things. Only one
out of fifteen recognize the names
of Willa Cather, Professor Beard
and wniiam Beebe. The majority
of freshmen can hardly differentiate
Wells from Shaw. A striking number never have been to a museum
Goodman feels that college does
much to remedy this whether the
student wills so or not.
Class rivalry is today as intense
as then except that then the juniors
were aligned with the freshmen,
and the seniors with the sophomores. Professor Goodman still carries a souvenir booklet passed out
at the soph banquet of the class of
'19 to which he was invited as a
senior. Professor Goodman's remark
about student government should
have a special significance to some:
"I don't know anything about the
student council today, but In my
day it was a talkative and very
often inefficient body, and a great
disappointment to one who believed

John T. Hodscn, then known as the
greatest surgeon In the West. He
came to Lexington, Ky in 1882, and
since that time has made his home
here.
In 1890 Dr. Pryor became the
third man to teach Physiology in
the State College, succeeding Dr.
Thomas Hunt Morgan, who is now
professor of Experimental Biology at
Columbia University. Before 1888,
physiology had been taught In connection with natural history. Shortly after this the college established
one of the first
courses
in the United States. Among the
many well known men who have
studied under Dr. Pryor was the
late Dr. Arthur S. Loevenhart, former Head of the Department of
Pharmacology and Toxicology at
the University of Wisconsin, and
Dr. William ' Carpenter MacCarty,
present pathologist of the Mayo
Clinic. Dr. MacCarty has often said
that he received his inspiration
from Dr. Pryor and recently wrote
the latter a letter In' which he said,
"I am sending you some of my re
cent reprints, showing your influ
ence still exists."
Dr. Pryor first became interested
research work in 1890 fol
in
lowing an accident which occurred
to a student in the College of Engineering. The young man lost several fingers In a planing machine
and Dr. Pryor dressed the wound.
Some time later he had an X-rmade of the boy's hand to see how
the ends of the bones were healing,
From this time he .made frequent
pictures of children's hands in order to study the ossification of the
bones.
In this work he has made several
discoveries relating to the growth of
the bones and he was the first man
to establish the difference in the
ossification of the male and female
skeletons. He also discovered that
ossification begins much sooner
PERMANENT
than had been thought before, and
corrected the prevailing textbooks
MARCEL WAVE
on the nature of ossification in the
carpus. These views have been accepted by textbooks all over the
world and accredited to Dr. Pryor.
During the time he lit5 been connected with the University, he has
been a member of the City Board
of Health and the Fayette County
Board of Healfh for more than 10
years until his resignation. He has
also been president of the Fayette
County Medical Society, first vice
president of the Kentucky State
Medical Society, and a member of
Source Research Council of the
United States.

(ny Elizabeth Glbbs)
After 39 years of service to the
youth of the University of Kentucky, Dr. J. W. Pryor, Internationally known authority on the ossification of bones, has occn assigned
to research work and will retire
from active teaching July 1, 1929.
He will still be connected with the
University but his absence from the
class room will be keenly felt by
the many students who love and
respect him.
Dr. Pryor first became connected
with the University as Medical Examiner In 1886 when the Institution
was an Agricultural and Mechanical college known as the State College. He began his classroom Instruction work In 1890 and since
that time has been continuously
connected with the institution.
Dr. Pryor holds the distinction
of being the only man in Kentucky
whose name is listed in all of the
following organizations:
American
Men of Science, Who's Who In America, Who's Who of American
Surgeons,
Physicians
and
and
Who's Who of American Authors.
He was the first man to administer
ether in Lexington.
Born in Palmyra, Mo., on April
3, 1956, Dr. Pryor received his early
education in a private school of
that city. He later was graduated
from St. Paul's College, an Episcopal school of that community, and
finished his schooling as a graduate of the Medical Department of
the University of Missouri. He beer
gan his career as a general
in Palmyra and treated his
first patient in the same house
where his father, also a doctor, had
treated his first Mlssourlan patient
25 years before. Several years later
he went to St. Louis where he was
for one year in the office of Dr.

Next autumn American colleges
and universities will again have the
opportunity to debate with several
foreign debating teams under the
auspices of the National Student
Federation of America. These teams
will represent
Oxford University,
Cambridge University, and Victoria
University College of New Zealand.
A charge of $125 for each debate is
made to the American colleges wishing to hold a debate with one of
the visiting teams to meet expenses. Colleges should make application to the Foreign Relations Office
of the N. S. F. A., at 218 Madison
avenue, New York City.
The activity ot international debating was started about five years
ago under the auspices of the Institute of International Education
nnd was turned over to the Foreign Relations Committee of the N.
S. F. A. a year ago. At first only
teams from Oxford came to the
United States for debating but as
the interest In international debating grew in this country, Cambridge
nnd the British Dominions began to
send teams also. Each team spends
about seven weeks in the fall term
traveling through one section of the
United States meeting our colleges
In debate.
The National Student
Federation of America plans to rotate the territory visited By the
teams and this year Is sending the
Oxford team west of the Mississippi
river, Cambridge through the south
and central West, and New Zealand
to the East.
As it is impossible lor tne
teams to meet their own traveling and living expenses during the
tour, American universities have always Invited these foreign teams as
their guests. Each American college
Included in the schedule of the visiting teams pays a fee of $125 and
offers hospitality to the members
of the team for the day of the debate.
During the past year two teams
came from England and one from
Australia, and one from the National Federation of Canadian University Students. One of the English
teams was the first woman's team
to come to the United States for
debating. It repreinternational
sented the National Union of Students of England and had a most
successful tour. Next fall one of our
visiting teams will be the first
