This is the most recent photograph of Rudyard Kipling, who cele- brates his 70th birthday Dec. 30. The bespectacled youth who came out of India at the turn of the century with a pocketful of poems and stories that brought him world fame, has lived as a virtual recluse on his Sussex estate while his prolific writings have continued to roll up a vast fortune. Educators Of Four Countries Aid Middle English Dictionary <+- Work Being Financed By Rockefeller Foundation, Learned Societies By ARTHUR A. MILLER Members of 60 American colleges and universities, and institutions in Canada, England and Sweden, num- bering 110 people in all, have added to the words and quotations which are being collected by a staff of 19 people who are compiling a dictionary of Middle English words under the ed- itorship of Prof. Thomas A. Knott of the English department.j The work is being carried on here as part of a program originally pro- posed by the directors of the Oxford Dictionary, and has been financed by the American Council of Learned So- cieties and the Rockefeller Founda- tion. Oxford University completed a dic- tionary of the English language in 1928 after working on it since 1856. It was found, however, that many words had been omitted because of the great span of time which that work attempted to cover. American universities were consequently so- licited to undertake classification of relatively short periods. The Uni- versity of Chicago is compiling a dic- tionary of American English while Michigan is concentrating on the 375 years between 1100 and 1475. According to Professor Knott, quo- tations illustrating uses and mean- ings of words are being taken from every known manuscript of the per- iod. Writings which appeared before the advent of printing in England are also included. There have been 40,000 words and more than 990,000 quotations filed since the dictionary wasbegun in 1930 under{ the late Prof. Samuel Moore. Professor Knott, who took over the position of editor when Pro- fessor Moore died, said the work would not be completed until 1942. Because the University does not possess original manuscripts, photo- graphs and prints of originals owned by other institutions are being used by readers who select from them ex- pressions which will be used in the dictionary. / i~ov tches Clocks ® - Jewelry HALLER'S State at Liberty FineW atch and Jewelry repairing D ELICIOUSLY fresh-in gay, holiday wrappings!
