PRAISE POEM REJECTED HERE.
Literary Critics and M. U. English
Department Disagree.

Several widely known literary critics
have commented favorably on poem
by c. E. Bonnett, a student in the
College of Arts and Science of the
University of Missouri, entitled "The
Light of Lights" Bonnett submitted
this poem in the annual contest for
the 800 Field prize of the University
OF Missouri last spring. The faculty
of the English Department., who are
judges of the contest, declined to make
any award, on the ground that none
of the poems submitted was up to the
standard which they considered de-
serving the prize.
Criticisms of Bonnetts poem were
made last winter by Albert Shaw,
Frederick Sykes, Brander Matthews
and Sherwin Cody, before he submit
ted it for the Field prize
Bennett has two letters from Sher-
win Cody. The first is a somewhat
detailed criticism of the first draft
of the poem. One paragraph of it
says: Your work undoubtedly shows
considerable natural Skill and poetic
temperament. Its shortcomings are
those of the person who has had rather
prolonged practice and is not devoid
CT ability"
Brander Matthews wrote of the
poem before it was revised: Your
verses display certain felicity and
pleasant fancy. They rise almost to
the level of the verse which appears in
the magazines every month"
The Light of Lights" is dedicated
to DR.. A Ross Hill.
Bonnet wrote poetry for the Savitar
last year under the pseudonym of
CapOte.

AN "ANTI-cooN CLUB" NOW.
Law Students Will Try to Keep Ne
sroes Off the Campus.


The "Anti-C Coon Club" is the latest
at the University of Missouri. 1t was
organized to keep negroes off the
campus OF the University of Missouri
unless they have business there The
club was formed by thirty-two stu
dents who met in the smoking room
of the law building yesterday morn
ing. They object chiefly to the prac-
tice of negroes of carrying bundles
of laundry, pushing wheel-barrows and
riding bicycles through the campus.
The cll elected the following of.
ficers: President, Isaac Newton Jett,
senior law student; vice president,
Orville Zimmerman, junior law; Sec
retary and treasurer, d. w. B. Kurtz,
Junior law; sergeant-at arms, Jacob
kalina, senior law. The president ap-
pointed J. Herbert Smith, Paul Hig-
bee and Samuel V. Davis, all junior
law students, to see that placards of
warning to negroes are posted about the
University grounds, and to order but
tons for the members to wear. These
buttons are to contain picture of
negro standing on his head and above
his feet the inscription, Il Belong to
the Anti-Coon Club" The buttons will
be two inches in diameter.
Nearly all of the members are law
students and the clubs headquarters
will be in the law building.

LAWYERS CAN'T BE HEARD.
Acoustics in New Circuit Court Room
Are Poor.

Only small crowds have been in at
tendance at circuit court thus far this
year. The difficulty of hearing the
words of the witnesses and lawyers
probably has a great deal to do with
the small audience. The new court
room is so constructed. with its low.
fiat ceiling, that one cannot hear dis
tinctly two or three rows of seats
away from the lawyers tables. Many
persons who attend for the first time
drop down in the seats in the rear,
and consequently can hear nothing ex-
cept tumble of words. They soon
tire of this and leave the room.
