CENTENNIAL FEATURES DR. MATHEWS
Scientific Criminologist Speaks;
College Program Ends Tomorrow
A lecture by the nationally-known
scientific detective, Pro-fessor
J. H. Mathews, of the
University of Wisconsin on “The
Use of Scientific Methods in the
Identification of the Criminal” at
the Atherton Girls High School
at 8:15 p. m. is the feature of
today’s activities of the Liberal
Arts College in the University’s
Centennial observance.
Speaking under the auspices of
the Louisville section of the
American Chemical Society, Dr.
Mathew’s lecture is open to the
public.
Students interested in attend-ing
a banquet for Dr. Mathews
this evening at 6:00 in the Brown
hotel can make reservations at
the Chemistry building.
The evening lecture of the visit-ing
professor will consist mostly
of a description of his recent
work.
Professor Mathews is one of
the few scientists of the United
States to take up crime detection
from a scientific point of view,
and he has been instrumental in
solving a number of murder mys-teries
which otherwise would have
remained unsolved.
His work is unique in a num-ber
of ways as he has applied
scientific methods which have
hitherto not been used in crime
detection and has devised new
apparatus for the purpose. His
work has attracted much atten-tion.
Lecture work on this subject
has taken him from coast to coast.
In his talk he will show with
the aid of lantern slides, how cer-tain
murder mysteries have been
solved and the identity of the
criminal established.
The program for tomorrow will
feature addresses at 8:00 p.m.
by Drs. Irvin Abell of Louisville
and George Zook, president of
the American Council on Educa-tion,
in the Playhouse.
Dr. Abell will speak on “The
Contribution of the University of
Louisville to the Life of theCity; ”
Dr. Zook, on “The Role of the
Liberal Arts College in an Urban
Community.”
An informal reception will be
held in the Playhouse after the
speeches. All guests are cordially
invited to attend.
How a modern college works
was demonstrated to the public
Monday in the college’s “Minia-ture
College” program. Classes
began at 8:30 with a paucity of
visitors but as the day went on
the numbers increased.
Mothers, friends, and alumni
came, visited classes, and inspect-ed
the campus. Student hosts
were stationed at the various
buildings and conducted the visi-tors
to their brief views of a col-lege
in action. A strong maternal
interest in college affairs was
proven by the predominance of
mothers who attended classes and
strolled from building to building.
The lectures of the professors
and the usual routine classes were
brightened up a bit and made
more interesting to the general
public. Demonstrations included
speeches in the Playhouse, illus-trated
lectures, movies, and labor-atory
exhibits.
From 3:30 until 5:00 p.m. a
mothers' tea and style show was
sponsored by the Home Econo-mics
department in the Woman’s
building. The Two Orphans pre-sented
by the U. L. Players in
the Playhouse concluded the
day’s activities.

Council Boatride
Set For May 22
On Ship ‘Idlewild’
By Ben H. Morris.
Anchors aweigh!
The annual University of Lou-isville
Student Council Boatride
will shove off from the port of
Louisville, Kentucky, Saturday,
May 22, at 12 o’clock noon.
Destination will be some point
miles up the river and the object
fun and lots of it. .
The good ship Idlewild, upon
which can be found a top-notch
dance floor, first class music, good
eats, and a broad expanse of sun-lit
decks, will bear the hearty
crew of U. L. merry-makers up
the river and back again.
Bob Leopold, student council
president, gives full assurance
that the return will be made in
ample time for those who have
“heavy Saturday night dates” to
keep them without difficulty.
Between bites of a bar of can-dy
Leopold also mumbled some-thing
about a “faculty stunt” in
connection with the “all-star”
floor show.
Even if the boys and girls don’t
have a date, that shouldn’t keep
them away from the boat trip,
Leopold affirmed. Date or no
date one can dance, sing, eat, and
watch the scenery.
All the gala entertainment can
be had for the paltry sum of 50
cents per person.
Heave ho!
