the debate team hard at work in prep-

than a month off, with the selection

production of Shakespeare's "Merry

of means of expression.

Professor Grant C. Knight, assistant professor of English of the university, has recently made his debut
in the world of letters by a volume
of critical essays entitled "Superlatives," published by Alfred A. Knopf,
whose books represent the epitome of
English thought today.
The volume is almost unique in its
treatment and varies so far from the
conventional
as to be intensely in
teresting.
The
title which Mr
Thomas has described as the "haupt-sache- "
is indeed appropriate, as the
ten essays composing the volume ai'e
each a treatment of one of the superlative" characters in English literature. The essays are entitled: "The
Greatest Rogue," "The Most Terrible," "The Most Tragic," "The Most
Unreal," "The Most Humorous," "Tho
Greatest Lover," "The Most Memorable Children," "The Most Pitiful,"
"The Greatest Hero.' With the exposition of these ideas as premises,
the writer briefly reviews the whole
field of literature for characters to
fill the qualifications of these superlative traits. The character chosen
is briefly reviewed with the idea of
establishing its identity.
Professor Knight employs a long
recognized
employed
but seldom
method of character delineation: that
is the seizing of one single trait and
making all else subservient to it.
This method is far more stimulating
than the usual conventional procedure, which involves all the variatons
and inconsistencies which detract instead of add to a comprehensive impression. But in this critic's hand,
each character is portrayed with a
perfect clearness that leaves a direct impression and inspires one to
know "superlative" characters better.
Mr. Knight's style is coincident with
the nature of the work a treatment

Two hundred and twenty-seve- n
votes were cast in the Kernel election last Tuesday to determine the
30 outstanding seniors on the campus.
Fifty-fou- r
candidates were mentioned, 28 of whom received one vote
each.
Thirteen votes were thrown
out because they were not signed.
Twelve of the 20 remaining candidates were dropped because the committee felt they had been elected by
politics.
Three girls and eleven boys survived the "cut"; two of the 14 were

athletes.
The names of the successful candidates will not be divulged nt one
time, but sketches will appear in
order of the number of votes each
contestant received.

and sketch will appear inN next week's
Kernel.
The count of the votes revealed
some unique conditions.
One girl
who had the third highest number of
votes did not receive any votes outside of her lodge.
The committee
felt that it was purely a case of unadulterated politics. They felt that
if noone except the lodge sisters of
a girl voted for her, she evidently
did not possess the qualities sought
for in this election.
It was revealed that one boy had
received votes from no one except
members of his fraternity.
Before
the recount of the votes, the boy
requested that his name be withdrawn if it were found that no one
except his fraternity brothers had
voted for him. He stated that if they
were the .only ones who felt that he
possessed
outstanding qualities, it
was quite evident that he did not
deserve the honor.
Of the 14 candidates elected, nine
were from the college of Arts and

THE LAND OF THE WATTLE
following, written by J. L.
Pinkcrton '14, nppeared in a recent
issue of a current magazine:
In these waters, by reason of the
strong currents, they continued, now
gaining, now losing in their course,
until on the day of the Nativity they
passed by the coast of "Natal," to
which they gave that name. Thus
it was that on Christmas Day, 1497,
Vasco dn Gama sailed by the coast
of the territory now known as the
Province of Natal and did not have
the good taste to stop!
Three centuries roled by and yet
the Terra do Natal remained a closed
book to Europe. It was only in 1821
that a serious effort was made to establish a settlement in the territory,
in which year a small band of adventurous spirits from Capo Colony
landed in the "Bay1 of Natal." This
expedition, destined to be the beginning of great things, was under the
direction of Lieutenant Farewell, R.
N. (indeed, what's in a name?). The
existing records have it that Farewell
built his camp on the site of the present palatial Town Hall, one of the
finest structures of the subcontinent.
A century of progress!
And Natal's sons have had impressed
minds, through the medupon their
ium of the Centenary Celebrations at
Durban, the great deeds of their
forefathers.
They are proud of the history of
Natal and well they may be. A
great and warlike people have been
conquered, and today a Zulu is more
remarkable as a rickshaw boy than
as the man behind the dreaded "assegai"; cities have been built and
prosperous communities have been
developed;
Natal has become the
"Land of the Wattle"; churches,
schools and even colleges have been
established; and Natalians are proud,
too, that in the "Bay of Natal" has
been developed the "first port in Africa Durban."
Right handsomely did they celebrate the Centenary! Many miles of
bunting and pennants enlivened the
workaday appearance of Durban's
principal streets by day and thousands of electric lights by night. The
four days set aside for the official
celebrations were a continuous round
of military reviews, unveiling ceremonies (at commemorative tablets)
receptions, balls,
nffipinl
luncheons,
tab-bfireworks displays and gigantic
thousands of school children
Some of the larger business houses
had made and displayed on the fac
ades of their buildings, enormous
paintings illustrating the progress
made since the arrival of the British
settlers in 1824; also portraits of the
nrominent pioneers. It is interesting
tn nnto that among the latter was
an American citizen G. C. Cato
who later became the first mayor of
Durban, and who assisted Dick King
to escape the Dutch outposters in
1824, when he started on his famous
Cane Colony (vide post).
The ceremonies were presided over
Hichness, Princess
Uv TTor Roval
Alice (sister of the King and wife
of the present Governor General, the
Earl of Athlone). Besides the local
officials and South African military
organizations, there, were present several units of the Royal Navy to do
honor to the memory of the hardy
nionnors of Natal. The United States
nlsn officially participated in the cole
brations in the persons of the officers
und men of the United States ship
Tronfnn.
As a consular officer has recently
remarked, every consul of an average
grade is constantly threatened with
an assignment to Durban, and when
he turns to that most interesting page
of the Journal and sees unuer mo appropriate heading: "Consul Joe Doe

A wait of five minutes nt the busiest corner of the city (where consular
officers join the throng of straphang
crs) will bring you a view of a pass
ing Bantu belle in little more than
a loin coth and adorned with a cylin
drical headdress at east a foot long,
though her hair is less than two
inches in length, root and branch. At
her side may be swaggering a Bantu
bravo who has preceded her to civilization and who has acquired several
articles of modern clothing, among
them an English shirt, the extremely long tail of which he insists on
wearing 'outside his trousers. These
"braves" are the servants of Natal.
Native women are too good to work
(or too unintelligent).
And there are the rickshaw boys!
They are the most picturesque of all.
Imagine a
Zulu, bare of leg
and arm, with skins of small animals
and porcupine quills on which .ire
pasted tufts of feathers. As you pass
he cavorts within the shafts of the
rickshaw to attract attentiton and
emits sounds suggestive of an ox.
When you pass along the main
richshaw row, almost at the foot of
the statue of Queen Victoria, and look
over that line of stalwart Zulus, you
seized with a desire to have
looked upon one of the 44 men, chiefly
Boars, who in 1838 went forth with
muskets of that day and defeated a
great army of them under Dingaan,
actually leaving thousands on the
field, in avenging the treacherous
massacre of Piet Reteif and a party
of Boers. History tells us that be
fore the battle the little band prayed
fervently, promising their God that
if victory be theirs a temple should
be raised to Him and the day should
be marked as a day apart. Dingaan's
Day is now a national holiday in
South Africa, and there stands in
Pietermaritzburg a little church, me
morial to the bravery and piety of
the Boers. The capital of the union
of South Africa bears the name of
their valient leader Andries Pree- torius.
On the Esplanade at Durban there
has been erected a statue of a horse
man of a very weary horse and rider
a monument to the man and beast
who, while the Dutch were beseiging
the town in 1842, carried the call for
help through to Grahamstown in Cape
Colony in ten days, across scores of
streams and over GOO miles of roadless country. In Natal, Dick King's
Ride is like unto Pauul Revere s in
America, and though less spectacular,

man and beast, is well nigh incom-- 1

In starting on his famous ride,
Kiner slinned away from the Dutch
at night and crossed the bay in a
