Student Travelers Contribute Booklets The English department has added three rotogravure booklets of Cambridge, Oxford, and Canterbury to its photogra phic collection of well known historical and literary landmarks. While touring England this summer, Patricia Padden '50 visited Oxford, Mary Ellen Ward went sightseeing at Cambridge, and Dorothy Feery traveled to Canterbury. Each returned to Chicago with an il lustrative reminder of the architectural beauty she had seen, and gave to the English department a booklet for student Wise Men Bring Qifts to Savior The Epiphany, celebrated Jan. 6, com memorates three events, the adoration oj llie Infant Savior by the Mayi, the mani festation of Christ's glory when a voice from heaven declared Him to be the Son of God at His baptism by John the Bap tist, and the miracle at the marriage feast of Cana. The chief meaning of the feast lies in the acknowledgment of Christ as God by the representatives of the Gentiles, the three kings who followed the star to Bethlehem. The Epiphany is first mentioned by Clement of Alexandria around 194 A.D. It derives its name from the Greek word meaning to show forth. Today it is commonly known as Twelfth Night, Old Christmas, Three King's Day, Little Christmas, and the Eestival of the Magi. In Spain, where it is called Three King's Day, mangers of straw are built in every home, and the children find their gifts in them instead of under the Christmas tree Christmas day. A gor geous procession visits the orphanges, and the people bring gifts in remembrance of the gold, frankincense, and myrrh of the Three Kings. In Italy this is the day of Befana, a feminine St. Nicholas, who flies in win dows and down chimneys with toys for the children. The Epiphany, twelve days after Christmas, is the end of the nativity season. In many countries gay Twelfth' Night balls mark the beginning of the carnival season preceding Lent. a Farce du Cuvier . .
