There are three reasons. “First, young men who are coming | along ought to be given a chance. Sec- ond, in many cases, a man loses sym- pathy with youth. In my case, I don’t believe this is so, but I should not want to be made an exception to a genera rule of retirement. And third, a man ought to have accumulated a lot of private work in a lifetime, that hc co\gldn't complete with an exacting job.” It is the future, the studies he | intends to complete and the books h¢ hopes to publish, that concern Prof. Phelps most directly, but he likes tc reflect on a past that is long and rich. “I've had 42 years of university Professor of English Has Had NEW HAVEN, Conn., June 7.—Yale’s “Billy” Phelps is “graduating,” and he t | thinks it just about time—not because | he has reached the automatic retire- | ment age of 68, but because he har| has met for the last time, but he talk: | THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

I was completely amazed at | the demonstrations in my classes, anc ::k the interest people seem to have en. [ than to fall out, and I am glad I go in | full power.” | He smiles as he thinks back on his words, and says: “Of course, the basc | ball player thinks he is just as good too, at 36, but it is the coach who knows.” | And as he talks, he leans forward the room, or shuffles the pages of a book with slender, steady fingers. “Perhaps the coach knows I am wrong,” he says, “but I feel that I am in full power.” MMETHODISTS SCORE CONERESS ONBEER Resolution at Baltimore Conference Precipitates Storm.
