EDL r[HCURSES IN SEIMETICS
Aniieent Art and 1angmiage of Egypt
lWill lie Suh)Jeet MIterial
For INeiv Courses
ENROLLMENT IS VERY LOW
Two new courses, one in Arts and
Archaeology of Egypt, and the other
in Ancient E-yptian hlanguage, are in-
cluded among those previously con-
ducted by the Semetics department.
Dr. Caroline Ransiom-Williams, lately-
returned froim Egypt, where she spent
a year as a miember of the scientific
staff of the Oriental Institute of the
University of Chicago, has been en-
gaged to instruct in the courses.
The first coiirse is "a survby of the
m~inior arts of E+urope." Thei survey
comm~ences before the third nmillenium
befo~re Christ, and concludes at a
period a few centuries after Christ.
The enrollment in this first course has
been most unsatisfactory, according to
Dr. Ransom-Williams.
The enrollment in the second course
offered has proved much more satis-
factory, 9 students having enrolled
this semester. Egyptian language has
not been taught to any-great -extent in,
America, although the center of the
language was. established at Chicago
more than 25 years ago. At the pres-
ent time it is being taught at Yale,1
tjhe University of Pennsylvania, the
University of California, anid in Drop-
sy college, a Hebrew institute in Phil-
adelphia.
Rr. Ransom-Williamis is well known
i~n the field of Egyptology. She began
studying the subject at the University
of Chicago under Professor Breasted,
head of the department. Following
ehat she studied at the University of
B~erlin for two years and during that
time also served as a voluntary miu-
seum assistant. After receiving a de-
gree from the Unive'sity of Chicago,
she taught as head of the pepartment
of Egyptology at -Bryn Mawr. Subse-
quently she wvent into the Metropolitan
Museum 'of Art for 6 years as one of
the curators of Egyptian art, and then
moved to Toledo, where she lives at
present'. Last year, as a member of
the scientific staff of the Oriental. in-
stitute of the University of Chicago,
Dr. Ransom-Will iams worked in Luxor,'
Egypt at the temple of Medinet Habu,
built about 1200 B.C., collecting texts
and inscriptions of the temple.
PURDUE-Complete audit of the
financial accounts of all campus "or-
ganizations show a gross income of
over $583,000. Only three failed com'-

Dickinson Publishes
Economic Study For
Bureau Of Business
More than 300 American and Briit-
ish companies have systenis for en-
couraging suggestions from employes,
according to a study made by Prof.
Z. Clark Dickinson of the: economics
department of the Univrity .Profes-
sor Dicktinson's report is published by
the bureau of business research as
volume 3, Michigan Business Studies.
The report points ,out !the advan-
tages and disadvantages of various
systems for rewarding employes, who
make valuable suggestions, resulting
in improved methods' of production or
in greater safety to workers.
"Ordinarily 'the subject-nmatter of
suggestions is not limited," Profes-
sor Dickinson says. "Any proposal
which the emaploye thinks would lead
to improvement, whether by reducing
waste -of materials; devising a ;.new
piece of appar~atus, improving quality,
of production or' adding a new one,
reducing health and accident hazards,r
even by criticizing someone who is
derelicit in his duty are generally con-
sidered for prizes."
KANSAS-Oliver Dryer, noted ad-
vocate of world' peace, has been en-
gaged to speak rto the students by
the University Y. M. C. A.
