WINKIER GIVES L.AST TALK
ON bMINNA VON TBARNIILMl
In the last iif the facltylectures oni
".intia von Barthlrm" Prof. Max
Wittkler showed the national imitport of
tis teist aid greatest Germait comedy'
yesterday afternoot.
Prof. Winkler began by ottlinitg the
literary history of Gertiany before Les-
sings titme. He showed how the Thint-
Years' war checked Germany's deveop-
meni,etsn destroyig tmost of what hail
been accomplished.
'Germany," he said, emerged front
this calattity alttost expiring, her splet-
did achievetntts lost. National unlity
scarcely existed. The Gertmat langiage
evets had falett into decay. Gerniatty
tttrned for guidance and support to ter
stronger neightbors, especially to rance.
atid devoted her etergies to imitatioin.
"Lessing became tritly te fouder of
modern Gemtnt literature. A spiit of
unity was being evolved in German lit-
erature *blgg efore the political- unioni
wvas felt to tar necessary. The great
Germnauthttors msttbe ratnked with
Bismarck .itt the mnsilg of tmodern,
G;erttatny.. Lessing is probabaly the greait-
est of these atid his M'itttia vots Bartt-
htelni is otue of thle famous productiotis
throttgh .which -this work was accom-
plised.
"Lessing," said Prof. Winkler, in com-
mnuting ttpon tte great author, "is the
to-t nanty character in German litera-
ture. There -is- no clearer,, more vigor-
ous, or logical thinker thatn Lessitig.
He is easily the greatest scholar of li~s
age, the first example of att intellectttal
post:"

M1URALT THINKS DUELLING
GREATEST COLLEGE SPORT
Prof. C. L. de Mitralt, int a recent
article published itn Dee Deutche Vise
kampfer (Nesw York), extolls the prac-
tice of ditetling in Germatinitniversities
as 'about the tie-it physical and meintal
eiducatioti that a yvoitig nan cani le lput
through.' The article is. reviews-cin i
the _April Citrrent Laiteratuire tuder the
title, "T'he tEthical Value of Dulling."
The professor'stitteranlces are ini direct
contradictioti to recent reniarks of Pres-
dent Hadley of-.Yale, whlo praised Am-
erican : athletic-i.at- -the expense of the
practices _prevailing int Gertnany.
Prof. de Muralt says,: in concluding :
"A matlnwto -tas to go thtrotighi this
test repeatedly anid has to keep in pter-
