Lecture Is Illustrated By Man:
Books Actually Used During
Shakespeare's Lifetime
"The purpose of education at th
time of Shapespeare was to impres
on the boy the wise and goo
thoughts of Greek and Lati
authors," said George A. Plimpton
famous book collector and biblio-
phile in a lecture on "The educatior
of Shakespeare" yesterday after-
noon in Hill Auditorium. After a
introduction by Prof. Louis C. Kar-
pinski of the Mathematics Depart-
ment, Mr. Plimpton gave a brief
survey of the education in vogue in
Shakespeare's time. Schooling be-
gan at the age of five and progress-
ed with reading, writing, numbers
and primers in Greek and Latin
until the boy was 14. Logic, rhe-
toric, further studies in Greek and
Latin, physical education, music
and geometry found a palce in
advanced courses until the student
reached theology, the culminations
of his studies.
Lecture Illustrated
The lecture was illustrated by
many of the books actually in use
at Shakespeare's time. Lessons had
to be learned from the hornbook
with its letters, Lord's prayer, and
crosses, as mentioned in the "Tam-
ing of the Shrew and "Love's
Labor Lost." These were some-
times made of gingerbread and the
pupil could eat the letters he knew.
Mr. Plimpton displayed several of
the hornbooks including the last
one made i America in 1821.
"There is little doubt but that
Shakespeare learned his letters
from the hornbook," he said. 1
Possesses Rare Books
After a boy could read he was
given a Latin grammar of which
Mr. Plimpton has one of the ear-
liest known vellum manuscripts in
the world. Likewise he is the pos-
sessor of the only know copy of the
penmanship book used in Shakes-
peare's time and closely resembling
the bard's own handwriting. Dupli-
cates of the John Calvin Catechism,
Britches Bible, rhetoric, logic, Greek
and Latin books and other texts
possibly used by Shakespeare illus-
trated the lecture.
Michigan students have made
frequent use of the large library
of early mathematical texts and
other books in the possession of
Mr. Plimpton has the world's
largest collection of text books. He
is also president of Ginn and Com-
pany, president of the Board of
trustees of Amherst College and
a member of the board of trustees
of Barnard College. The rare books
used in illustrating yesterday's lec-
ture will be on display in the exhi-
bition cases at the Main Library
this week.

GREENLAND CAMP
SENDS A MESSAGE
Radio messages from Mt. Evans,
station of the University Green,
land expeditions, have informed

the expeditions, that Evans S.
Schmeling, aerologist, has arrived
at the station after a six-day trek
over the ice.
Professor Hobbs has also ascer-
tained that William R. Carlson,
who is being relieved by Schnel-

BIOOGITSTO TAKE
CAMP' DAVIS AS SITE,
About ninety-five students as a
maximum will be accommodated
at the twenty-first season of the
I Biological station at Douglas Lake,
declared Prof. George R. LaRue, of
the biology department yesterday
in commenting on the expansion ,
plans of the biology stationstaff.
Ninety applications have thus far
been received.
The tentative plans of the station
staff comprises an extensive pro-
gram of taking over the neighbor-
ing Camp Davis .site of the engin-
eers, who are moving to Wyoming.
A general rearrangement and con-
solidation of the two camps will
take place, although none of this
will be in readiness for the coming,
summer. Excavating for a mess
hall and a few other buildings will
'be begun on June 15, but the greater
share of the work will be left until
after the summer session. The sitej
consists of almost 3,500 acres located
13 miles from Cheboygan, Mich.
According to Professor LaRue,{
Director of the station, the benefits
of the station are two. It affords
the opportunity -of giving addition
courses under more natural condi-
tions, field work being immediately
possible. The other benefit is that
all-day schedules will be possible,
facilitating field work. For this
reason students from all state in
the Union are attracted, in addition
to foreign researchers. With the
expanded facilities more independ-
ent researchers and students willi
be expected.
