LYCEUM COURSE N ACCORDANCE with Upsala tradition, the WYonien's Auxiliary of I, the college presented a series of entertaining and instructive pro- grams. NVorld famous figures were brought to Upsala audiences this year as in the past. All of the programs were held in the auditorium of East Orange High School. I Famed for his literary insight, Dr. VVilliam Lyons Phelps of Yale, lectured in the lirst program. Dr. Phelps immediately made friends with his audience by starting out with a few introductory words on Sweden. He continued-reviewing current plays and books. Among the plays discussed were Idiot's Delight' HYictoria Reginaf' and Dead Endv. The books included Gone With the XYind by Mitchell, VVest's joan of Arc and Noyes' Yoltaire . Dr. Phelps lecture was notable for its humor and intimate audi- ence contact. The second Lyceum program was one of an unusual appeal. The well- known artists, Florence Austral, dramatic soprano, and John Amadio, iiautist. were present. Among the numbers sung hy Miss Austral were Drink to Me Only Wiith Thine Eyes and The Sleigh . Mr. Amadio's repertoire included 'CLondon- derry Air', and The Flight of the Bumblebee . The audience showed it en- thusiastic appreciation at the artistry of Miss Austral and Mr. Amadio by repeat- edly demanding encores. It was a mystified audience that witnessed the third course. Mr. John Mulholland lectured on and demonstrated magic. He bewildered the audience with his sleight of hand tricks. Incidentally not the least bewildered were Mr. K. J. Olson and Dr. XV. VV. Gustafson. lt is to be hoped that the Lyceum Course will continue as successful as it has been in the past for many years to come.

SPRING WEEK QLDIKE the Arabs who fold their tents and softly steal away, the Upsalans steal away from their exam-filled brains and anxiously await the most cherished week of an Upsalan's career, Spring VVeek! The 1936 Spring Week festivities began on Friday evening, June fifth, at the Hotel Suburban, when the ever popular All- Upsala banquet was held. Dean Ericsson was the capable toastmaster. Various awards were presented to the deserving students such as: athletic letters, Gold U's, Publication Keys, and the presentation of a plaque by the A. S. U. fraternity to be given each year to the outstanding member of the senior class. The boys' glee club under the direction of 'Doc' Benson rendered several numbers. A chorus of the faculty also sang some unforgetable selections. The Sororities and Fraternities held their luncheons on Saturday. In the afternoon the annual intra-mural track meet was held at the Ashland stadium. The crowning of the Spring Queen was held beneath a brilliant symphonic illumination skillfully and artistically arranged throughout the campus. Miss Catherine Doyle was duly chosen Queen in a previous student election and was officially placed on the throne at a royal coronation ceremony. As befits a Queen, Kay also had her ladies-in-waiting, Lillian Walker and Ingrid VVendel. The traditional Spring Week play was presented following the coronation. The play Women Have Their Wayw was produced and enthusiastically accepted by a large audience. Sunday afternoon the late Reverend Carl G. Erickson preached the annual Baccalaureate Service at the Arlington Avenue Presbyterian Church.
