TUESDAY, MAY 3, 1927 BASSO PROFUNDO The very obNious defect of all chapel speak ers who address and advise Penn State students v. eddy, pith mole m less effusiveness, is then predilection to abandon the real and to sink into the absti act Nt here neither reason nor folly can leach them It would seem to the skeptical that they at c suspiciously wary .. But to the m di nary undergraduate it appears that the chapel speakers avoid the concrete simply as a means tonard saving then oracular dignity: to him the man on the rostrum rs abox e not only the audienc,e but intellectual betrayal And so, appreciating the medicament of a fellow confronted with the diffi culty cri Ins profession, the average undergradu ate—and he is an optimist—learns to contend against monotony with acceptable deportment, and even to laugh appi opriately when the speaker. to illustrate his clai ing, denounces "Elmer Gantry" with a meat deal of hie and virtue, but never, alas, with intrigue. To Di. H. W A. Hanson's credit he did not flinch to enter into real argument Sunday. With out a doubt Doctor Hanson, who is president of Gettvsbuig college, was the most excellent chap& sneaker we have had the pleaiureto listen to this yeas Doctor Hanson's sermon v. ftS inspiring, his message illuminating, his logic impressive, even resoundint Indeed, he can be challenged on r single point alone. Doctor Hanson made the la mcntablc error of building upon a false premise, assummt, in his discourse, that at least nine out of ten people—to fudge from the thunder of his oratory—inc iebelling unreasonably on the silly theory of "expressing themselves." The tenth man, Doctor Hanson intimated sadly, was afflict ed with materialism. The fact of the matter is that with the "Meneker cotene," as Doctor Hanson styled them, most people have very little sympathy; and that iv lashing this coterie, 'with his well-modu• tooted voice, the Gettysburg president belabored no one's back but his own. For Doctor Hanson, it decrying the "supeificialibes and fuvolities of sti essml as a cure, idealism. And in plead mg that the country's youth, college men in par t menhir, think about spn itual things occasionally he demanded imagination, a quality appaa enth with which few chapel speakers rue - endowed Doctoi Hanson, one is sorry to admit, used reson once where rea=on was best, and shortsightedness, whei c vision was , equit Els concluazan -was this young men may have their doubts, indeed they should hate them, but if these doubts do nol result in the cadamed way the young men are more or less damned This is very picturesque. ELMER GANTRY ! ! ! Probably the greatest sensation since the , Ai mistier has not been Mae West's padrocked drama "Sex," as Mae West has coyly allured, but Sinclair Lewis' comedy, "Elmer Gantry." Cler gymen, the United States over, place both on a pal, thus yes ailing in their own limitations in an last' y, the infinite capacity of man to make an ass of himself. Many of them, we are afraid, have come perilously close to the ridiculous in then attempts to pose as critics Their critical to dc not excel the actual; in the realm of the imaginative they are lost. Many cleigymen appraise the book as a mat ter of self defense; John Roach Stratton adver tise, it—and fills his church. None are capable of tail-minded judgment: for, fearful that they themselves may be mistaken for Elmer they over look the fact that they have neither the physique nor the tendency to emulate Lewis' notorious protagonist. Quite dramatically they proceed, with n gi eat show of indignation and well-rounded stock phrases, from mere anger to glowing denun ciation, and from glowing denunciation to inarti culate braying. All this, of course, passes off as substitute for pi ofundity: and this is very sad. Yet ne are not so cynical as to think that moat preachers actually believe—in private, that is— that Lewis would destroy all physicians and cler gymen to pm ge the world. "Elmer Gantry" seal es the preachers. Therefore it is not Food art. But what is most amusing is the announce meni that Sinclair Lewis has written "Elmer Gantry" to make money. Penn State professors have declared so, bitterly. Therefore the book,is poor art. But sh-h-h Even the professors have been known to write books to make money. One of the most congenial tasks a newspaper editor has to do is to extend commendation where commendation is due. — And it is our pleasure to (Ater congratulations to the Penn State Grange That society, without the slightest assistance from any other campus group, will pi oduce "Pool bather" in the Auditm ium tomori ow night. The proceeds of the play will be given over to the Grange fund for a new girls' dormitory at Penn State. - President Vice-President - Treasurer So infrequently is it that a Penn State gocietN doer something foi Penn State that the effect of accomplishment is somewhat astounding.
