WILLIAM C. GREET

 

Mr. Greet Uses Records
- In New Diction Course

 

Training .Will Eliminate. Nasality,
_ Hissing, Other Defects

 

The aim of Mr. William Cabell
Greet, Non-Resident: Lecturer-elect in
English Dietion, will be the develop-
ment of “effective speech.” He does
not believe that he will be able to
include public speaking in his diction
course, but hopes to correct habits
which Ynay annoy listeners or other-
wise hier effective expression.

The class will hear recordings of T.
S. Eliot, Wachel Lindsay, Robert
Frost, Carl Sandburg, Robert Tris-
tram Coffin and also of public speak-
ers such as President Roosevelt, Mr.
Landon, and the late Huey Long, ex-
emplifying different styles of English
speech. Each student will Have her
voice recorded, because “we none of
us know how we really sound,” and
will then be able to see what correc-
is needed. Mr. Greet does not
to prescribe pronunciation, for
he aig es everyone has the right to
her own owever, he wishes to
eliminate actual defects such as na-
sality, hissing, monotone, and certain

known for some time that the cell
nucleus, in which the chromosomes are
located, contains proteins (complex
organic molecules) and nucleic acid.
‘By performing experiments of a phy-
sio-chemical nature based on the as-
sumption that different substances in
a cell absorb different amounts of
light; Hammersten and Caspersson
found chromosomes are built up of
alternating bands, one rich in, and
one containing little, nucleic acid. The
former’s complicated form suggests
the presence of the genes, the parts
of the chromosome ‘which bear the
actual hereditary characters. Pro-
teins occur in both kinds of bands,
and they concluded that the protein
molecules stored in the network of
nucleic acid was the material basis of
heredity.*

Arising from these experiments
‘others -have recently been made. on
the mass, shape, and electro-chemical
properties of the protein molecule.
The .proteins under observation are
put in a high-powered centrifuge
which rotates at such a speed as‘ to
divide the molecule into its ¢om-
ponent parts. To do this, and to meas-
ure the proteins while in the. centri-
fuge, scientists have made use of mod-
ern metallurgy, physical and gemo-
metrical optics, thermodynamic and

kinetic. theories. The results show
that the weights of most protein
molecules seem to be simple multiples
of the lightest among them. The com-

plex protein molecule is probably built
up by successive aggregation of defi-
nite units. Miss D. M. Wrinch, of
the Mathematics Department of Ox-
ford University, has recently put for-
ward a theory to explain the charac-
teristics common to.all soluble pro-
téins, and especially an entire number
rate for these weights.
