Visitors Lowell Thomas found his way through the gates of the University in October. His commentary packed the University Hall auditorium and an enthralled crowd listened to tales of his adventures which have taken him to many out-of-the-way places throughout the world. In January Carl Sandburg, twice a Pulitzer Prize winner in poetry, and John Mason Brown, Associate Editor of the Sat ir- day Rerk ' w of Literature, came to the campus at the invitation of the University ' s speech department. Sandburg with his read- ing of selections of his own favorite poems and Brown with his witty commentary on current literature and drama pre- sented a brilliant evening ' s entertainment in University Hall chapel. Commander Irving Johnson, plucky captain of the good ship Yankee, arrived on campus in February to present one of the most popular lectures of University Lecture Series. Spinning a romantic deep-sea yarn, he told the story of his round the world cruise with a young, amateur crew on his brigantine, the Yankee. Colored motion pictures of the 2 ' i year cruise supplemented his sparkling commentary. The end of May meant the appearance of Charles Laughton, a favorite of the campus movie-goers. On a Sunday afternoon he thrilled the audience at University Hall with flawlessly artistic readings of his favorite prose and poetry selections. His one-man show will long be remembered.
