McKillop's Book
Gives New View
Of Richardson
Samuel Richardson: Printer mid
Novelist, by Alan Dugald McKillop,
Professor of English at Rice, recently
published by the North Carolina Press,
presents a juster view of one of the most
important figures in the history of Eng-
lish prose fiction and of eighteenth cen-
tury culture,
Dr. McKillop's book is not designed
as a full-length biography nor as a lit-
erary criticism, but as a survey of Rich-
ardson's literary career in its immediate
setting. The study centers oil the origins
and publication of the three great novels,
and on their reception by a public which
admired and read both Richardson and
Fielding.
Pamela, the famous story of the
virtuous serving-girl, Iir. McKillop con-
cluded, was first of all a popular success,
a best seller calling forth an extraordi-
nary amount of satire, imitation, and
miscellaneous comment: Today*the book
raises questions about Richardson's so-
cial background and didactic purpose,
his psychological approach to his sub-
ject, his daringly original use of the
letter form,
In Clarirsu, l.)r. McKillop states Rich-
ardson's intense and morbid art reached
its height. In Granditon, later writers
found an example of the lighter novel
of manners which culminated in the
Work of Jane Austen, , : ;
Dr, McKillop floes not. tillow Richard-
son's personal trails and failings as a
man to obscure his merits and impor-
tance as an author, nor does he dwell
'oil' the naivete and crudity of Pamela
, as the most characteristic thing in Ric.li-
ardsoii. On the . Contrary, he brings out
the fact that Richardson at the height
(if his power did not produce his effects
Clumsily jW iiindyertentlyv but showed
himself to he a conscious literary artist,
Surprisingly mqilerii in somcof his atti-
tudes and methods, despite his archaic
social standaids
In preparing this volume, Mr, Mc-
Killop spent a year in England as a John
Simon Guggenheim Memorial Fellow,
consulting the Richardson correspond-
ence, preserved for the most part at the
Victoria and Albert Museum at South
Kensington, and a great mass of pre-
viously uncollected letters, periodicals,
and books
Moraud Is Made
Knight of French
Legion of Honor
1 >v. Marcel Moraud of the Rice 1 n-
-littite has received the title of Knight
of the Legion of Honor, the highest
honor given by France for literary and
historical achievement.
The award was made Tuesday
night November 24 at a, banquet at
the, Houston Club, before Houston
officials, most of the Rice faculty,
editors <if the Post, ClirfinuU' itv\ Press;
his family, friends, and!pupils.
, Consul G. P. F. Jouine inducted him
into the order, following speeches by
, Jules A. vVeni, director .of the French
Little Theater of Houston; Hr. Nor-
ma Files, president of the Alliance
Francaise; Lloyd Gregory, managing
editor of the I'pst; George W. iCot-
tingham, cflitor; of the Clironicle;
Mi E. Foster, editor of the Press;
VV. N. Hianton, vice-president of the
Chamber of Commerce, and an intro-
duction by toastmaster Dean Harrv
It. Weiser.
Doctor Moraud's career as an edu-
cator began with studies iii the uni-
versities of Paris and Edinburg and
an instructprship in the University of
Minnesota. Service on the French
High Commission in Washington fol-
lowing recovery from a serious
wound received while in service for
the French arruy. He has been con-
nected with Princeton University and
the. University of Toronto, and now
holds the chair as head of the Ro-
mance language department of the
Rice Institute.
Dr. Moraud is as well known in the
United States as in France as a lec-
turer. He has written numerous ar-
ticles on Franco-American relations
and French literature. His books are
now widely used in French and Amer-
ican universities.
Dr. Moraud received the award
modestly and praised the works of his
colleagues, some of whom, he said,
had made the Rice Institute famous
even before he came to Houston
twelve years ago. "The students I
have come in contact with," he said,
"have given me new birth,"
Bands Cheer Leaders

Told to Watch Sammy
According to tradition, next Satur-
day should be the date of one more
trial by S. M. U. studes to capture or
mar the perfection of our Sammy.
Last year, at the Rice-S.M.U. game
at Dallas, the members of the Rice
band were obliged to lay down their
flutes and interrupt their toots to help
the cheer leaders keep possession of
Sammy before our own stands. When
this attempt was unsuccessful, Pe-
runa, the perennial SMU mascot, was
hastened off the field, for fear of a
counter attack by annoyed Rice fans.
The whole plan was formed as a
means of getting even for an incident
of bygone years when the tail f of a
former Peruna was sacriligiously seg-
regated from the rest of Peruna by
Rice students.
And S.M-U. has never forgot that.
Which makes Rice ahead in this little
game of tag played by colleges
arotind hereabouts-—. Even the honor
of Sammy 1 was redeemed back
yonder in 1917, after being owl-sacked
by over-ambitious Aggies a month
previous.
Two Entertaining
Plays Given By
French Theater
Two entertaining one-act comedies
were presented at the Rosary Hall
Tuesday night by the French l ittle
Theater before a still larger audience
than at the last presentation.
The first, Uir Dejeuner d'Ainouretix
(lover's lunch) adroitly treats the di-
vorce question from the child's angle.
Arm on E Mabry; the divorced husband,
has invited a young lady friend to a
"lover's lunch" at his home. The young
lady, Virginia Maddox, arrives, sOon fol-
lowed by the man's young son, who
visits him otic day a week.
T|ie glamour of the , day disappears,
so does the lady, and the father realizes
that with his son he can have a still
more beautiful "lover's lunch." Mr.
Mabry. played his difficult part with sin-,
ccrity and naturalness. Mrs. Maddox,
who has not played on the French Lit-
tle Theatre 'stage since jlWl, made a
brilliant comeback, and Paolitio Schu-
macher, the young vedette of the theater,
addid one moS. laurel to his crown of
more than successful performances;"
I'll /'entire V.xiycant, a buffoonery,
with Hilli Shamblin as the artist of a
thousand and one tiibbds, ended the eve-
ning, Mr, Shaniblin played with Intelli-
gence, wit, and humor, and it is to be
regretted that his voice has a certain
monotonous drawl. Leslie Bowling, as
a middle aged bourgeois who meddles
with art, was as usual, a good and
wholesome actor.
Awards were made Arm'on k. .Mabry
and Mrs. V. G. Gilliugham for aahii\e-
nieili of theii', teltth performance.
Student Council
Starts Revision
Of Constitution
Holding the first of its series of
meetings to study and thoroughly revise,
the Constitution of the. Student Asso-
ciation,. the Student Council Wednes-
day decided definitely upon two changes
which will be made when the constitu-
tion is adopted in its final form.
The obsolete clause under which class
representatives to the Student Council
elected their own officers will be
dropped, and the constitution made to
conform with the method which has
been unconstitutionally used for several
years, election of the officers of the
Student Council directly by the student
body.
Another worn out clause, .that student
placed' on probation by the faculty lose
no student positions except on the Stu-
dent Council, <vill be removed in favor
of a provision in accord with the pres-
ent unconstitutional practice, that stu-
dents on probation lose positions on the
Honor Council, Woman's Council. Stu-
dent 'Council, or positions as editor, as-
sistant editor, business manager, assist-
ant business manager of a school publi-
cation, yell leader, or class office^.' " ::
A third <ann ndincriji i the .requirement
that the president i>f the Student Coun-
cil must have previously served one ,or
more years as a member of the council,
was discussed, but riot definitely de-
cided upon. If tills provision is adopted,
the number of the Student Council
will be increased by four i
Although this is the first, con|ph:lc ,re-:
visipiti tlie cf nstitiiti<iii lias, ibeeti amend-
ed three times, Jn 1923, two years after,

While everyone was stuffing turkey
over the holidays insidious: goings
on were. Jjjjffi only were people plan-
ning on the OWL-Band Dance but
Randall Brooks car was being stolen,
Of course, that is old stuff now, about
the car being stolen. But what is
brand new is tbe story of Stooge
Braiidciihergcr's detecatifl work.
B-berger went up to watch the "an-
nual turkey-day classic" that is held
at Austin, then A. & M. then Austin
and so on. Well, while going around
up in Austin lie saw a car that looked
jiist like Randall's car with the white
top and all. So John decided to wait
and see who had the car.
After about a half hour of feverish
waiting, in which B-B sat around
making a bunch of speeches up, and
taking off hi* coat to ruit if neces-
sary, a likely looking chap (the kind
you read abptit in Collier's Magazine)
came up and got in the car. B-B
asked him what his name was, and
for some reason lie wouldn't answer.
After cajoling for awhile, lib de-
cided to get tough, as the guy was
small.
, So (B)s tried t.A'.pick a tight. \Vell,
that didn't ,d<f any good., quise tin:
guy wouldn't pick a fight, along with
not giving bis name and telling where
he : got his; car. Well, John is ii, good
boy but sometimes he isn't very
cagey, and althr.iugh be was; iliiiikiug,
pretty fast, he was spinning his
wlieelfi. All this time the fellow,with
the car was getting ready [itl;go off,
and then B wouldn't have Randall's
;car. |j:|f
So b. did some e.\tia quick think-
ing, and picked up a great old, rock
and busted ill the guy's fender. Again
the fellow i didn't come thru and just
politely got out of the car and talked
filings over. Well, they:; talked things
over and gave each other, each:;otber's
nanus and the guy with the busted
fender was satisfied, cause fie would
get his fender paid for. Well, he
really owned the car.
We said that Mrandeiibeigi'r was
uncagey. We take that back. He gave
the fellow Randall's name and ad-
dress lo send the bill for listing his
fender. v
