nual series in the Little Theatre, Old
Main, at 4:10 o'clock this afternoon.
The second of his talks on the gen
eral topic, "Uncultivated' Plots in
American Literary History," Dr. Pat
tee's address will deal with the Amer
ican people's desire to develop a kind
of government inculcating certain
ideals and principles. The speaker
will trace the relationship between
the development of American repub
lican ideals and the political doctrines
propagated in the literature of the
period.
Will Publish Book
"Republican Satire" will be the title
of Dr. Pattee's lecture tomorrow af
ternoon. Thursday, he will discuss

ary studies,of, material he will use In
a new volume of his series on the his
tory of Americah literature. The
first book in the group, "American
Literature Since 1870," published sev
eral years ago,, covered the period
from 1870 to 1890. "The New Amer
ican Literature," issued in 1980, was
a critical discussion of works written
between 1890 and the date of publica
tion.

The book now in preparation soul
cover American literature from Its
beginning until 1830 or 1840, and a
fourth volume will carry the discus
sion up to 1870. The subject matter
is given a popular rather than a text
book treatment in the series, accord
ing to critics.
In the opening lecture of the series
yesterday, Dr. Patton spoke on "The
Fin de Sleek of the Eighteenth Cen
tury." He showed in his address how,
with the organization of a new form
of government, there grew up an at
tempt to express new ideas and a new
literature. American humor and the
novel arose in the "yellow nineties,"
Dr. Patten pointed out, and the essay
came into its own as an American
literary form.
Since leaving Penn State three
years ago, Dr. Pattee has occupied
the position of lecturer on American
literature at Rollins College, Winter
Park, Fla He was head of the
English department here for thirty
four years.

umes of essays, a book of poems, and
two novels. "Century Readings in

His Life Work, He Maintains
Ex-Lion Heavyweight Plans Medical Course
After Completing Ring Career
"I don't intend to make boxing lay
life work," declared Steve llamas '29,
former eleven-letter athlete and at
present a leading professional heavy
weight, who has been visiting here
since Friday.
"My plans still include a medical
course after I finish boxing, but it
I would be foolish for me to stop now,
after building up to the big bouts,"
the ex-Lion heavyweight continued.
"The world's championship isn't neces
sarily my goal before I quit, although
I'd like mighty well to win it,"
Discussing Ills two bouts with
Tomm y Loughran, Philadelphia
heavyweight, llamas revealed that he
considers the former light heavy,
weight champion as one of the hard
est men in the piofessional lonics to
fight. Affirming that Loughran can
make his opponent look very foolish
by his clever boxing, Steve declared
that the Philadelphian is a boxer who
can be caught by a blow hard enough
to knock him out only on rare occa
sions.
"t hope to win," Steve said In an
suer to a question concerning the
probable outcome of a third fight with
Loughran, a bout now under consul.
oration by Philadelphia boxing pro
motors. The popularity of both
llamas and Loughran, coupled with
the closeness of their last bout to
gether has prompted talk of the third
meeting of the two rivals
