One of the most illustrious
figures in the history of the
Cumberland School of Law lies
buried on Semford Univer¬
sity’s campus near the corner
of the library. '
He attended law classes in
Caruthers Hall faithfully from
1933 until the time of his death
in 1938.
Because of his assumed
great legal learning, “Ras¬
cal;’* as he was called, was
awarded by his two-legged fel¬
low law students the degree of
“Doctor of Canine Jurispru¬
dence.”
When Rascal died, his body
was kept on the old campus
of Ctsnberland University in
Tennessee. Then,' when the
Cumberland School of Law
came to Samford University in
1961, Rascal's remains were
brought along to the place they
now rest.
There is a grave marker to
his memory beside a path be-,
tween the library and the new
home of the law school.
Students pass by there every
day and can see wheje he lies,
still close to his chosen home.

Play May Be Absurd ,
But It's Good Theatre
BY DIANE WHITEHEAD
Crimson assistant editor
Once upon a time another
cow asked another dog:
“Why have you not swallow¬
ed you* trunk?”
“Pardon me,” replied the
dog, “it is because I thought
that I was an elephant.”
Absurd, is it not? Precisely so.
This is an excerpt from the up¬
coming production of the Samford
Masquers, "The Bald Soprano.”
The play is taken directly from
the “theatre of the absurd" and
will confound and confuse, but de¬
light Samford theatre-goers who
are prepared for a "completely
unique experience."
“The Bald Soprano" will play in
the Arena Theatre on April 20, 21.
and 22 and will begin each night
at 8 p.m.
Reviews of the play range from
an understated “very funny” to “a
riot,” to the frank appraisal, “hi¬
lariously nonsensical.”
