Cultural activities often transport the viewer into other worlds. Gogol ' s The Inspector-General, as staged by Professor Harry Coble, took the audience to Czarist Russia and, in cut- ting satire, exposed totalitarian rule to ridicule. British playwright Christopher Fry ' s The Boy with a Cart was presented by The Bishop ' s Company, whose appearance is a regular event on the dramatic calendar. Occasional concerts under the auspices of the Cultural Life Committee enhance the life of the campus. This year ' s special musical programs included Mme. Elizabeth von Buday, con- cert pianist; Miss Afrika Hayes, substituting for her beloved father, Roland Hayes, whose annual visit has become a custom; and the internationally famous Alabama String Quartet.

LITERATURE AND HISTORY World Literature, English 201-2-3, is a course which a student must complete before he can graduate. Above this, there are a variety of courses which deal with individual foreign national literatures. This spring quar- ter a new course in Russian Literature was offered for the first time. Work in French, Spanish, and German are regular parts of each academic year. Also required of all students is Western Civilization, History 101-2-3. This survey of the history of the western world is a basic course which leads into many more special- ized history courses. Advanced courses in world geography, European history, and such concentrated subjects as English and Russian history help students to understand the pres- ent by knowing the past. Through a study of languages, hterature, and history a Ten- nessee Wesleyan College student can become a mental cosmopolite.

ANTIGONE By Jean Anouilh Adapted from the French by Lewis Galantiere Anouilh ' s Antigone was first produced in Occupied France during World War II. Later it was adapted for an English production starring Katherine Cornell. In the Wesleyan ver- sion Karen Quammen was a superb Antigone, supported by Mr. Yates of the Drama Department as Creon. Rodgers and Hammerstein ' s musical South Pacific was the smash-hit Spring Show of 1962. Charlotte Kelly as the love-struck nurse danced and sang her way into a permanent place of stardom among Wesleyan Spring Shows.
