loor rows of the smaller buildings when
irig, viewed in relation to the secondary
Ian, and primary works. "The harmony
and unity of this age shows the high-
est splendor and characteristics of
the Hindu art," Dr. Fokker main-
tained.
The third chronological stage of
Hindu art in Central Java destroyed
this fundamental harmony and over-
rated the decorative values at the
expense of the structural phases,
Dr. Fokker claimed. This period
marked the decline of Hindu art in
this section of the world, he said,
adding that the basic figures lost
their significance as the use of orna-
ments became intensified.
Dr. Fokker, praising Hindu art for'
"its delicate refinement," first traced
the emigration of the Hindus from
India to the Malayan peninsula and
then to Sumatra and Java.
Born in Batavia, Java, Dr. Fokker
was educated at the Universities of
Leiden and Amsterdam, specializing
in international law.

By WILLIAM NEWTON
Little agreement was evidenced by
the replies given recently by six cam-
pus leaders to the question "what
five books have most influenced your
life and thinking?" In fact, the
only volume which won mention more
than once from the BMOC's and
BWOC's was the Bible.
Barbara Bassett, president of Pan-
hellenic Association, named Lynd
Ward's "God's Man" as her first
choice, citing the "true-to-life cynic-
ism of this story told in woodcuts."
She also picked "Ghosts," by Hen-
rik Ibsen; "Rebecca," by Daphne
duMaurier; Ward's second volume of
Woodcuts, "Madman's Drum," and
"Hamlet," by William Shakespeare.
Dorothy Shipman, president of the
League, said that "The Bible" and
its teachings have strong effect on
everyone's life and thought. "Sar-
for Resartus,'" by Thomas Carlyle;
Land Cl1assification
Work Is Discussed ,
In Mc~urry Talk
Land classification work done in
,his country, beginning with the orig-
inal land office survey and progress-
ing through the work of geologic.
surveys, forest service projects, up
to the recent heightened interest in
the work growing out of attempts
at adjustment necessitated by eco-
nomic and social problems in certain
areas, was discussed by Prof. K. C.
McMurry, chairman of the depart-
ment of geography, recently. Profes-
sor McMurry addressed a seminar
of the Conservation Institute at
Michigan State College at East Lan-
sing.
Technical consultant for a com-
mittee of the National Resources
Planning Board, Professor McMurry
stated that University departments
have contributed important research
works to the whole study of classifi-
cation which will constitute the first
work of its kind done in this coun-
try.

A. A. Milne's "Winnie the Pooh,"
"Little Women," by Louisa M. Alcott
and "The Importance of Living," by
Lin Yutang, were Miss Shipman's
other choices.
"A Tree Grown Straight," by Percy
Marks, was named as first choice by
Dye Hogan, president of the "M" Club
and the senior class of the literary
college. He also chose Saint Augus-
tine's "Confessions;" "Up From Slav-
e\v," by Booker T. Washington;
"Foundations of Democracy," a re-
print of the Smith-Taft debates on
New Deal policy, and "Upstream,"
by Ludwig Lewissohn.
Tom Adams, president of the In-
terfraternity Council, agreed with
Miss Shipman in placing "The Bible"
first on his list. Adams said he felt
that Webster's Dictionary deserved
to be his second choice, followed by
Marcus Aurelius' "Meditations," Jos-
eph Conrad's ''Lord Jim," and "The
Federalist," by Madison Hamilton and
Jay.
Carl Wheeler, president of the
Men's Judiciary Council admitted
that he has only read one book, aside
from technical works, sincehis fresh-
man year in high school. "That one
is "The Count of Monte Cristo," by
Dumas, and I've read it three times,"
Wheeler said.
Don Treadwell, president of the
Union, said that aside from textbooks,
he could only name three books which
have influenced his life particularly.
Treadwell chose Jaimes^ Hilton's
"Lost Horizon," Bellamy's "Looking
Backward" and John Galsworthy's
"Forsythe Saga.".
Slosson To Speak
Oan Europe Sunday
Prof. Preston W. Slosson of the
history department will speak on
"The European Situation" at 2:30
p.m. Sunday in Room 316 of the
Union, Peter F. Brown, 41E, of the
Union student staff, announced yes-
terday.
The talk will be given before the
Sunday Forum sponsored by the
Student Senate and the Union. Pro-
fessor Slosson will also conduct a
discussion of the subject following
his lecture.

"f'M Arrow's famous oxford shirt with the
button-down roll collar. My good looks
and fine behavior have made me the most
ubiquitous college shirt in the world.
I never get hot under my fine fitting collar,
and never in my long life will I shrink out
of fit because I'm Sanforized-Shrunk and
can't shrink more than a wee 1%. My buttons
are genuine ocean pearl and anchored fast.
In return for my liberal college education
I spend most of my time fishing for compli-

rave! For-$2 you can get one of my brothers
in white or blue. We're a handsome tribe of
