PROF. MECKLIN GOES SOUTH TO EXAMINE KU KLUX KLAN

Prof. J. M. Mecklin of the Sociology Department is in Texas where he is investigating and gathering material for a book on the philosophy and the significance of the Ku Klux Klan.

He will collect material in the South until about July 1, when he will go to Washington, D. C., to do research work in his subject in the Congressional Library, finishing the volume in time to return to Hanover for the opening of school in September.

This work, which will be published by Harcourt, Brace and Co., is one of several books by Professor Mecklin on conditions in the South, the most widely known one being a study of the negro problem entitled "Democracy and Race Friction.

Professor Mecklin's classes completed their semester's work at extra night sessions and took the final examination last month, leaving him free for the rest of the college year.
