ference to funeral and burial arrange-
ments here.

rangements desired by Mrs. Harding.

sent to have the body of the president'

m.. to 4 p. m. Then it would be re-

"Future Of American Drama
In Hands Of Little Theater"

"It is up to the teachers and direc-
tors who go out into small towns and
communities to make the drama a vi-
tal and living function in the lives
of people who have too little in their
lives now," declared Alexander Dean,

director of the Little Theater of Dal-
las, Texas, in his lecture on "School
Dramatics as a Community Asset" last
evening in Natural Science auditor-
ium.
"If present conditions continue the
same during the next fifteen years;
there will be five or six cities which
will be the great theatre centers of
the country and the small towns will
suffer by not having dramatics suit-
able to their conditions," he continued.
"The theatres of New York have a
transient trade. People attend the
popular and not the worthwhile
theatre as a rule, and unless the lit-
tle theatre upholds the true spirit of
the Drama, then it will die."
The speaker closed by saying that
the commercial theatre is beginning
to awake to the tremendous possibil-
ities of the Little Theatre and that
the future of the drama in the Unit-
ed States is in the hands of the teach-
ers and directors who go into small

Prof. Claude H. VanTyne, of the his-
tory department will be the speaker
this afternoon on the summer school
lecture to be given in the ;auditorium
of the Natural Science building. He
will speak on "Reminiscences of In-
dian Politics."
In view of the fact that Professor
Van Tyne is considered one of the
finest historians in the United States,
and also because he has just returned
from an. extended trip in India, his
lecture will be of great interest. Go-
ing to India upon the invitation of one
of the high officials of the government,
he was given every chance by the Brit-
ish government to study the problem
at close range. He had very close
personal contact with Ghandi the
great revolutionist, and was availed in
every way of an opportunity to thor-
oughly acquaint himself with the sit-
nation. Since his return to this coun-
try, he has written a book as yet un-
published, on his observations while
in India.
