Examinations have occupied stu
dents and faculty the past week. Now
the ordeal is over there is a conscious
sense of relief for all students, except
those who may entertain a sort of
uncertain sentiment regarding the
results. A number of new half year
courses will be offered for the second
semester open to aid and new stu
dents.
A somewhat disappointed group of
students was that of the basketball
people who were al the station with
tickets purchased ready TO board the
train for Las Vegas, Friday morning,
when they were informed that the
train was indefinitely late. This made
it impossible to reach the Meadow
City in time for the game with the
Normal University girls that night SO
the game was called off. 1t will prob
ably be played this week.
DR.. Espinosa at last weeks assem-
bly, delivered n lecture on Spanish
poetry in which he read a number OF
interesting poems both in the Span
ish and English. The following was
his particular subject: "grhe Cid and
Ximena."
The Cid was a Spanish hero of the
18th century. 2His character is por-
trayed in Spanish Epic poetry, and es-
pecially the Spanish ballad poetry,
which is unique in the library history
Of the world. 1t presents not the fow-
ers of artistic poetry, but the plants
of the popular poetry. Prof. Es-
pinosa brought out the character of
the Cid, his haughtiness, pride, gener-
osity, valor, illustrated by ballads:
the character of Ximena; the story of
the insult to the Cid's father by Kim
ena's father and the young Cid's
commission to kill Count Lozano. The
love OF Ximena and the Cid. The pop-
ularity of this theme in literature,
since the old Spanish period, to mod
ern times. The final reconciliation
and marriage of the Cid to Donna XII
mena.
A course in Spanish ballads Is given
every year at the university for adj
vanced students.
