Mr. Lewis is the first American author to receive this recognition in the field of litmature since the es tablishment of the prize twenty-nine years ago and takes a position of holm along mith George Bernard Shaw, Anatole Fiance, and other fa mous writers. Although the Swedish Academy stated that Mr Lewis NV. chosen' chiefly for his novel, "Bab bitt," "Dodsworth" and "Elmer Gant ry" were also commended Prof A. Houry Espenshade, head of the department of English compo sition, expressed his pleasure that an American author had been selected It is his opinion that Sinclair Lewis deserves the ass and snore than any other contemporary American author and that Eugene O'Neill ranks sec ond.

STATE COLLEGE, PA , FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1930 er, Hasek Think Writer ature Prize on this field he merited the Nobel Prize." Prof William L 'Wernei, of the same department, stated that no other American author has. presented so complete a picture of American life. Professor Wenner believes that Lewis' best cork is "Aitowsmith" and that his popularity on the continent rests on this hook. Discussing the sociological aspect of Mr. Lewis' works, Dr Call NV Hasa, of the department of econom ics and sociology, said: "I believe that "Babbitt" repre sents as much a sociological study of American conditions as any work in the novel field." His treatment of the sociological, which is in itself unique, is the explanation of his European popularity. Mr. Lewis se cured the' award, m my opinion, not so much for his significant literary element as for his treatment of the aociological environment of the American people" PITTSBURGH ALUMNI WILL HOLD RALLY Football Team, Coach, Blue Band To Appear at Annual Smoker Nov. 26 /tailing to instill Penn State rooters uith spirit for.the Lion's annual foot ball battle with Pitt Thanksgiving Day, alumni from the western part of the state have completed plans for a ‘mobei and lemon on November 26 and a dunce on November 27 This sixth annual Penn State foot ball rally ut Pittsburgh will be held in the Urban Boom of the William Penn Hotel at Sixth and Grant streets PI C 40111.0 of the Blue Band, Bob Hig gins, Nol M.
