2 FROM CITY INCLUDED ON PHI BETE LIST Annual Phi Brta Kappa observances at DePauw University today were highlighted by a specal chapel address by Prof. Paul N. Landis of the University of Illinois and the pledging of 2tS DePauw students to the scholastic honorary. Prof. Landis, acting head ol the Illinois department of Eng iish, said in his address in Gobin Memorial church that literature today is misunderstood and miscast in its role. “Literature today,” he said, “is neither a specific field of knowledge nor a maid of all work." It cannot, he said, do the bidding or explain sociology, history and politics. The knowledge of literature, he countinued, is a

luxury.

“Literature is that kind ot knowledge,” he asserted, “which loses its identity because it becomes a part of the person who

has it.”

Its value is derived, he said, from the good that is transmitted by the individual because of

it.

He was introduced by Dr. Virginia Hallow of DePauw’s English department and president of the campus chapter of the honorary. Those pledged to the campus chapter include Esther Frances Hildebrand and Charles A. West. Grcencastle; Mary Louise Giles, Indianapolis; Lois Fassnacht. South Bend; John A. Nist.
