MED them.

At Green|ee D. A. R. Meeting

The Members of the Greenle.
Chapter Daughters of the American
Revolution were the guests Of Mrs
F. S. Bradsher at her home at Green.
lee Saturday evening. Mrs. Leste,
Dawkins of Hickory presided.
After formal opening, business
was disposed with dispatch.
The program chairman present.
ed R. L. Greenlee who gave a most
interesting review of Philips Rus.
sells book, "The Woman Who
Rang rang the Bell"
"The Woman Who Rang the
Bell" is the story of "Cornelis
Philips Spencer's love for a sleepy
Southern village and the Universe
ty it contained"
Mrs. Spencer more than any
other person was responsible for
the reopening of the University af-
ter it had closed during the Recon
struction period. Mrs. Spencer was
a remarkable woman with a bril-
liant mind, a trenchant pen and a
talent for leadership. She used all
three of these in the service of the
University. Her personality was ex-
traordinary. AS years passed gen.
erations Of students came under
her influence, said one of the stu
dents, "she simply radiated some
thing invisible and inspiring, a sort
of magnetic field. She could furn-
ish room simply by sitting there"
She become known as "the smart
est woman in Narth Carolina',> and
Governor Vance said, "the smart
est man, too."
'41he Woman Who Rang the
Bell" is much more than a bio
graphy of Mrs. Spencer for it is
through her letters, diaries and ar
ticles which has been skillfully wo-
ven into the story that the reader
sees vivid pictures of life at Chap
el Hill. They not only cover the his
tory Of the University but to some
the history of the entire State dur
ing her lifetime.
Mrs. Spencer was living in Chap
ell Hill when Greenlee was
student at the University. He was
personally acquainted with her and
her family.
The author is the winner of this
years Mayflower award for his
volume "The Woman Who Rang
the Bell". He is a great-nephew of
Mrs. Spencer and is Professor of
Journalism at the University of
North Carolina.
Last spring while attending the
Commencement exercises at the
University, the author visited with
and presented Greenlee wit h
an autographed copy of his book.
At the conclusion of the review
the Chapter members sang, "Hap-
py Birthday to You" and Mrs. Daw-

Siqrid Undset

The last portion of the life of Sigrid
Undset was spoiled by war and the after
math of war. Her eldest son was killed
fighting against the Nazis, she herself
was driven into exile under conditions Of
horror. True. she lived TO see Hitler
defeated and Norway freed from his
shadow. But q spirit 30 sensitive as hers
was out Of place in q world largely DOM
mated by communism or compromising
with 1t. Those who talked with her when
she visited Washington in 1910 and 1914
found her distressed by the willingness OF
great multitudes of people to accept any
ghoulish caricature of authority" that
promised security and prosperity however
unreasonably.
Fru Undset admittedly was an indi-
vidualist. She hated schools because, even
as q child, she realized that they inter
fered with her freedom. Yet she loved
learning and was q stern mistress of her
own time and strength from girlhood
onward. Eighteen years of gruelling re-
search went into her "Kristin Lavrans-
datter"-a medieval trilogy which worked
its way to great popularity in the
United States. The Master of Hest
VIXEN" issued between 1928 and 1880, also
glorifies the Middle Ages and the faith
which vitalized them In carved stone and
colored glass. Both productions were fruits
of tremendous effort, not merely in the
assembling of facts but in the conscious
and deliberate development OF imagina-
tive values.
The modern" novels of Fru Undset
failed to please the generality of American
readers. Most of them dealt with social,
domestic. ethical problems in which peo-
pie in the United States were not much
interested.
More impressive perhaps was her rela-
lively simple, unpretending account OF her
flight from Norway through Russia and
Japan TO America in 1910, published under
the title Return to the Future"
Fru Undset may be classified as q
apostle of the Catholic renaissance. With
respect to other PHILOSOPHERS she was an
agnostic. Liberalism. feminism, national
ism, socialism. pacincism, she insisted,
would not work because they refused to
consider human nature Is 1t really Is" The
only practical choice which mankind can
make without debauching ITSELF in her
opinion, is that of Him who is called
"Auctor vitae"-the Creator of Creation.
