This  is  a  digital  copy  of  a  book  that  was  preserved  for  generations  on  library  shelves  before  it  was  carefully  scanned  by  Google  as  part  of  a  project 
to  make  the  world's  books  discoverable  online. 

It  has  survived  long  enough  for  the  copyright  to  expire  and  the  book  to  enter  the  public  domain.  A  public  domain  book  is  one  that  was  never  subject 
to  copyright  or  whose  legal  copyright  term  has  expired.  Whether  a  book  is  in  the  public  domain  may  vary  country  to  country.  Public  domain  books 
are  our  gateways  to  the  past,  representing  a  wealth  of  history,  culture  and  knowledge  that's  often  difficult  to  discover. 

Marks,  notations  and  other  marginalia  present  in  the  original  volume  will  appear  in  this  file  -  a  reminder  of  this  book's  long  journey  from  the 
publisher  to  a  library  and  finally  to  you. 

Usage  guidelines 

Google  is  proud  to  partner  with  libraries  to  digitize  public  domain  materials  and  make  them  widely  accessible.  Public  domain  books  belong  to  the 
public  and  we  are  merely  their  custodians.  Nevertheless,  this  work  is  expensive,  so  in  order  to  keep  providing  this  resource,  we  have  taken  steps  to 
prevent  abuse  by  commercial  parties,  including  placing  technical  restrictions  on  automated  querying. 

We  also  ask  that  you: 

+  Make  non-commercial  use  of  the  files  We  designed  Google  Book  Search  for  use  by  individuals,  and  we  request  that  you  use  these  files  for 
personal,  non-commercial  purposes. 

+  Refrain  from  automated  querying  Do  not  send  automated  queries  of  any  sort  to  Google's  system:  If  you  are  conducting  research  on  machine 
translation,  optical  character  recognition  or  other  areas  where  access  to  a  large  amount  of  text  is  helpful,  please  contact  us.  We  encourage  the 
use  of  public  domain  materials  for  these  purposes  and  may  be  able  to  help. 

+  Maintain  attribution  The  Google  "watermark"  you  see  on  each  file  is  essential  for  informing  people  about  this  project  and  helping  them  find 
additional  materials  through  Google  Book  Search.  Please  do  not  remove  it. 

+  Keep  it  legal  Whatever  your  use,  remember  that  you  are  responsible  for  ensuring  that  what  you  are  doing  is  legal.  Do  not  assume  that  just 
because  we  believe  a  book  is  in  the  public  domain  for  users  in  the  United  States,  that  the  work  is  also  in  the  public  domain  for  users  in  other 
countries.  Whether  a  book  is  still  in  copyright  varies  from  country  to  country,  and  we  can't  offer  guidance  on  whether  any  specific  use  of 
any  specific  book  is  allowed.  Please  do  not  assume  that  a  book's  appearance  in  Google  Book  Search  means  it  can  be  used  in  any  manner 
anywhere  in  the  world.  Copyright  infringement  liability  can  be  quite  severe. 

About  Google  Book  Search 

Google's  mission  is  to  organize  the  world's  information  and  to  make  it  universally  accessible  and  useful.  Google  Book  Search  helps  readers 
discover  the  world's  books  while  helping  authors  and  publishers  reach  new  audiences.  You  can  search  through  the  full  text  of  this  book  on  the  web

THE 

Michigan  Alumnus 


Vol.  XXI. 


OCTOBER.  1914 


No.  197 


EVENT  AND  COMMENT 


While  personal  aC- 
MICHICANAND  counts  of  many  of 
THE  WAR  the   members   of   the 

Faculty  who  spent 
their  summer  abroad  have  brought 
the  terrible  event  in  Europe  close  to 
Ann  Arbor,  yet  the  war  has  incon- 
venienced the  University  very  little. 
The  latter  days  of  September  saw  al- 
most all  the  members  of  the  Faculty 
back  at  work  safely,  though  one,  Mr. 
Rene  Talamon,  instructor  in  French, 
who  was  spending  his  honeymoon  at 
his  home  in  Paris,  is  now  at  the  front 
with  the  French  army.  His  wife,  who 
was  Miss  Beatrice  Underwood,  of 
Nashville,  Tennessee,  is  with  his  fam- 
ilv  in  Paris.  Several  members  of  the 
Faculty  experienced  difficulties  in  se- 
curing accommodations  home,  but  all 
were  able  to  get  through,  and  almost 
universally  deny  undue  hardship. 
Dean  John  O.  Reed,  '85,  who  has 
been  living  in  Germany  for  the  past 
two  years,  on  account  of  ill  health,  is 
now  at  Jena,  and  Professor  and  Mrs. 
Scott,  who  were  in  Germany  when  the 
war  broke  out,  found  some  difficulty 
in  leaving,  but  reached  Ann  Arbor 
early  in  October.  (S.  The  shortage  of 
chemicals  and  medicine,  due  to  the 
\rar,  has  been  felt  in  the  Departments 
of  Chemistry  and  Medicine,  though 
classes  will  be  held  as  usual  in  Chem- 
istry, for  the  first  semester  at  least. 
It  is  hoped  that  by  the  end  of  that 
time  substitutes  may  be  found  for  the 
necessary  materials.  Glassware  and 
special  surgical  instruments  are  also 


difficult,  if  not  impossible,  to  secure. 
The  lack  of  certain  special  chemicals 
and  medicines,  and  many  of  the  dyes 
that  are  used  in  the  preparation  of 
microscopic  slides  will  greatly  hamper 
the  work  in  many  courses.  Cl^The  Uni- 
versity Library,  too,  has  felt  the  force 
of  the  war.  Practically  all  of  the  Ger- 
man scientific  publications,  and  many 
of  the  French,  have  ceased.  Orders 
for  books,  however,  are  still  being  re- 
ceived by  certain  of  the  publishing 
houses  in  Leipsic,  subject  to  future 
delivery.  The  French  correspondents 
of  the  Library  have  practically  closed 
their  business,  and  there  will  be  little 
received  from  either  France  or  Ger- 
many during  the  war.  If  the  war 
should  extend  over  several  years,  the 
LTniversity  will  undoubtedly  be  seri- 
ously inconvenienced  in  places  where 
so  far  there  has  been  little  undue  in- 
convenience. 


It  is  rather  an  irony 
TO  THE  MEMORY  of  fate  to  be  immor- 
OF  LEO  talized  in  bronze,  and 

then  to  be  presented 
to  the  public  under  the  wrong  name. 
And  this  is  what  almost  befell  the 
four-footed  companion  of  President 
Tappan  in  the  bronze  portrait  which 
was  unveiled  last  June,  through  the 
mistake  of  The  Alumnus.  His  name 
was  not  Nero,  but  Leo,  much  more 
fitting  when  one  comes  to  think  of  it, 
and  we  are  very  glad  to  make  the  cor- 
rection.  (S,  No  portrait  painted  in  the

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[October 


memory  of  Dr.  Tappan's  students  is 
complete  without  this  faithful  friend. 
How  strong  was  the  bond  between 
the  two  may  be  gathered  from  a  letter 
from  President  Tappan  to  Dr.  Cory- 
don  L.  Ford  in  1865,  which  was  pub- 
lished in  The  Alumnus  for  October, 
1912.  President  Tappan  says:  "My 
old  dog  Leo,  who  died  the  last  sum- 
mer I  spent  in  Michigan,  and  whom 
I  buried  under  a  tree  in  my  garden, 
often  comes  up  before  me  when  I  sit 
alone  and  he  seems  to  lay  his  head  on 
my  knee  again  and  to  look  up  into 
my  face  with  his  gentle,  knowing  eyes, 
and  I  feel  as  one  feels  when  he  recalls 
the  tender  memory  of  a  departed 
friend.  I  know  not  how  far  you  have 
gone  in  these  matters,  or  what  your 
experience  has  been.  To  me  the  rela- 
tions between  us  and  the  domestic 
animals  is  a  subject  of  deep  interest 
and  a  home  seems  hardly  complete 
without  them." 


Michigan's  coming 
OCT.  31;  MICHIGAN  game  with  Harvard 
vs.  HARVARD  has  aroused  enthusi- 
asm as  has  no  other 
game  in  years.  In  spite  of  the  logic 
of  circumstances  and  difficulties  which 
on  paper  at  least  seem  decidedly 
against  the  Varsity,  the  general  spirit 
is  surprisingly  confident.  That  is  of 
course  as  it  should  be.  If  we  are  go- 
ing to  play  Harvard,  we  must  meet 
her  with  a  belief  that  we  are  going 
to  win.  I^et  the  prognostications  of 
the  critics  and  the  careful  balancing 
of  teams  by  the  "armchair  strategists" 
pass.  There  are  some  things  which 
enter  into  the  make-up  of  a  team  that 
cannot  be  measured — ^the  spirit  of  the 
players,  the  morale,  to  quote  a  phrase 
used  much  these  days,  a  certain  ag- 
gressive spirit,  a  daring,  which  we 
believe  our  men  have.  C^lt  is  just  here, 
we  believe,  that  the  secret  of  Mr. 
Yost's  success  as  a  coach  lies.  The 
game  will  probably  reveal  the  strength 
of  western  aggressive  play,  but  it  will 


be  decidedly  important  for  Michigan 
to  have  a  line  which  can  stand  against 
Harvard's  weight.  This,  of  course, 
was  the  great  problem  during  the 
early  days  of  the  coaching  season. 
Practice  was  under  way  much  earlier 
than  ever  before,  the  mid-week  games 
have  been  revived  and  as  a  result  in 
the  first  games  Michigan  appeared  to 
have  at  least  two  weeks  advantage 
over  former  seasons.  Michigan  is 
admittedly  strong  in  the  backfield. 
Hughitt,  Maulbetsch,  Splawn,  Catlett, 
Gait  and  a  number  of  competitors 
pressing  them  hard  are  all  formidable 
players,  although  somewhat  lighter  in 
weight  than  is  comfortable.  The  ex- 
periments of  the  early  season  with  the 
line  were  fairly  reassuring;  good  de- 
fensive players  seemed,  if  not  exactly 
plentiful,  yet  available  in  sufficient 
numbers.  But  the  aggressive  oflFense 
on  the  part  of  the  line,  which  is  going 
to  be  so  necessary,  was  still  a  problem 
at  the  time  of  this  writing.  We  be- 
lieve, however,  that  it  can  be  develop- 
ed, that  the  right  men  can  be  found 
and  that  Michigan  will  at  least  give 
a  good  account  of  herself.  We  hope 
she  will  do  more.

There  is  no  doubt  but  that  Michigan 
is  going  to  be  represented  in  force  at 
Cambridge.  Special  trains  have  been

summer  vacations  have  been  post-

doubt  the  game  will  be  one  of  the

the  recent  past,  the  pendulum  has  been 
swinging  towards  the  all-inclusive 
A.B.,  though  of  late  there  have  been 
signs  of  a  reaction.  The  whole  ques- 
tion is  more  than  a  lining  up  of  con- 
servative and  progressive  forces.  It 
is  quite  possible  that  in  the  long  run, 
the  progressives  will  prove  to  be  those 
who  insist  on  a  more  rigid  interpre- 
tation of  the  A.B.,  leaving  another 
designation  for  those  who  elect  the 
newer  subjects  which  do  not  have  be- 
hind them  the  traditions  which  have 
come  to  be  associated  with  the  Arts 
course.  (S.  The  situation  as  viewed 
by  those  who  have  misgivings  over 
the  inflated  A.B.  is  well  outlined  by 
the  editor  of  The  Nation  in  his  an- 
nual educational  issue.  He  quotes  the 
experience  of  a  member  of  the  faculty 
in  one  of  our  universities,  who  dis- 
covered, in  a  room  where  he  had  ex- 
pected to  find  a  mathematical  semin- 
ary, six  gas  ranges,  a  complete  out- 
fit of  pots  and  pans  and  in  a  neighbor- 
ing room,  a  number  of  dressmakers' 
forms,  while  a  class  in  the  art  of  book- 
keeping occupied  the  floor  below,  all 
in  courses  in  a  college  of  liberal  arts. 
He  raises  the  question  whether  pro- 
ficiency in  the  art  of  cooking,  sewing 
or  joinery  should  properly  count  to- 
wards a  degree  hitherto  reserved 
through  long  years  as  a  recognition 
of  liberal  culture.

THE  A.B.  DEGREE  ^ju^ation  seems  to  be 
symbolized  by  the 
struggle  now  going  on  about  the  good 
old  A.B.  degree.  There  are  those  who 
believe  that  it  is  losing  its  significance 
in  the  multiplicity  of  new  vocational 
and  broad  cultural  subjects,  which 
in  some  universities  have  come 
to  replace  the  old-fashioned  insistence

with  their  rigid  mental  discipline.  Cl^In

being  faced  by  a  certificate  to  the  fact 
that  he  has  successfully  passed  his

[October 


under  discussion  in  this  matter. 
(H  Nevertheless,  we  believe  that  the 
A.B.  at  Michigan  contains  something 
of  its  old  prestige,  and  is  in  a  way  to 
regain  more.  There  was  a  certain 
tightness  and  rigidity  in  the  old  re- 
quirements which  were  not  in  har- 
mony with  modem  progress.  Per- 
haps in  the  past  we  wandered  too  far 
afield,  though  we  have  surely  not  been 
as  venturesome  as  some  of  our  con- 
temporaries, but  the  result  may  not 
be  entirely  unfortunate,  if  we  bring 
back  to  the  old  ways  a  certain  new 
vigor  and  correlation  of  academic 
ways  to  modem  life.  To  spread  the 
degree  out  so  far  that  it  means  every- 
thing and  nothing  would  certainly  be 
unfortunate.  If,  as  the  writer  in  The 
Nation  believes,  it  is  only  a  question 
of  time  when  the  degree  of  bachelor 
of  arts  will  confer  as  little  distinction 
as  a  f>assport  and  less  than  a  life  in- 
suraiKe  policy,  standing  neither  for 
mental  culture  nor  for  useful  knowl- 
edge, then  it  is  time  for  a  revision  and 
a  distinction  of  educational  values  and 
a  more  guarded  definition  of  the  lib- 
eral culture  he  demands.  The  sug- 
gested remedy  is  surely  simple,  merely 
to  ensure  that  the  courses  leading  to 
the  degree  of  A.B.  be  of  proved  in- 
tellectual content. 


Public  opinion  in  Ann 
THE  DORMITORY  Arbor  of  late  has  be- 
QUESTION  come  quite  conscious 

of  the  rooming  ques- 
tion for  students.  We  are  beginning 
to  see  that  it  is  one  of  the  pressing 
problems  of  the  present.  A  solution 
has  begun,  where  it  should  properly 
begin,  with  the  halls  of  residence  for 
freshman  women.  Here  necessity  was 
particularly  pressing.  But  the  needs 
of  the  men  are  almost  as  insistent, 
particularly  so  now  that  the  fraterni- 
ties are  not  permitted  to  have  their 
freshmen  in  the  fraternity  houses. 
CF,  In    discussing   the    new    freshman 


dormitories  at  Harvard,  the  editor  of 
The  Nation,  in  a  recent  issue,  recalls 
the  hopeless  loneliness  of  the  fresh- 
man's first  plunge  into  college  life, 
"without  friends  or  ties,  and  a  bed- 
room in  some  cheap  frame  boarding 
house."  If  that  is  tme  at  Harvard, 
it  is  doubly  tme  at  Michigan.  Har- 
vard has  tackled  the  problem  aggres- 
sively, and,  in  the  opinion  of  the  writ- 
er just  quoted,  this  establishment  of 
freshman  dormitories  is  by  all  odds 
President  Lowell's  most  important 
undertaking.  CD,  The  new  dormitories 
are  opened  this  fall.  They  consist  of 
nine  buildings  in  three  groups,  each 
group  consisting  of  three  dormitories, 
with  a  common  dining  room  and  living 
room  in  the  center  one.  We  probably 
cannot  realize  just  what  benefits 
would  come  to  the  student  body  at 
Ann  Arbor  if  the  freshmen  were 
started  in  this  way,  but  its  first  eflFect 
would  certainly  be  democratization 
and  an  equality  which  we  need.  Even 
more  important,  it  would  better  in- 
finitely living  conditions.  CD,  Michigan, 
almost  more  than  any  other  university 
is  suflFering  tmder  an  antique  system, 
patterned  after  the  German  universi- 
ties, where  the  students  room  out 
among  the  townsfolk.  This  was  all 
right  in  the  early  days  when  the  Uni- 
versity was  small  and  the  town  was 
large  enough  to  accommodate  the  stu- 
dents. But  the  rapid  growth  of  the 
University  in  late  years  has  brought 
about  a  condition  that  is  becoming  in- 
tolerable. Recent  investigations  have 
shown  that  a  dormitory  can  be  built 
as  a  paying  investments  and  still  offer 
accommodations  at  a  reasonable  price 
to  the  students.  Even  at  Cambridge, 
where  prices  are  probably  higher  than 
at  Ann  Arbor,  the  meals  are  to  be 
fumished  at  about  five  dollars  a  week, 
and  the  rooms  are  to  cost  from  thirty- 
five  to  two  hundred  and  twenty-five 
dollars  a  year,  certainly  not  an  ex- 
travagant scale,  even  for  Michigan. 
The  need  at  Michigan  in  this  respect 
is  as  imperative  as  that  at  Harvard.

EVENT  AND  COMMENT 


Work  on  the  new 
FOR  THE  FRESH-  halls  fof  the  women 
MAN  GIRLS  is  progressing  rapid- 

ly. The  walls  of  the 
Helen  Handy  Newberry  Hall,  on 
State  Street,  opposite  University  Hall, 
are  well  up,  and  some  idea  of  the  ap- 
pearance of  the  building  can  already 
be  obtained.  The  other  larger  dormi- 
tory, the  gift  of  an  unknown  donor, 
is  progressing  somewhat  more  slowly, 
simply  from  the  fact  that  it  is  so  much 
larger.  Nevertheless,  the  steel  con- 
struction is  well  above  the  ground 
level,  and  the  walls  are  beginning  to 
rise.  Both  buildings  will  be  complet- 
ed for  use  next  year.  CD,  Meanwhile, 
the  University  has  not  b^en  waiting 
for  the  new  buildings  to  welcome  the 
freshman  girls.  Extra  efforts  have 
been  made  this  past  year  to  get  in 
touch  with  all  who  were  coming  to  the 
University,  and  practically  every 
freshman  who  had  signified  her  inten- 
tion of  doing  so  received  at  least  three 
letters  from  a  member  of  the  junior 
girls'  advisory  board,  giving  her  help, 
advice  and  useful  hints.  This  organi- 
zation has  also  taken  one  of  the  rooms 
on  the  second  floor  of  University  Hall 
as  its  headquarters,  and  a  corps  of 
junior  girls  are  on  hand  constantly  to 
help  and  advise  the  newcomers.  In 
fact,  nothing  has  been  neglected  which 
would  ensure  the  freshman's  starting 
right.  Next  ye^ar  the  situation  will 
be  even  more  favorable,  with  the  new 
dormitories  added  to  the  long  list  of 
approved  rooming  houses  for  Univer- 
sity women. 

From  the   August 
SOME  ALUMNI    number  of  The  Mich- 
ARE  PLEASED    igan  Bulletin,  "of,  by 
and    for    Michigan 
men  of  Chicago,"  we  take  pleasure  in 
quoting  the  following  appreciation  of 
the  efforts  of  the  University  and  the 
Alumni   Association   last   Commence- 
ment: 

Alumni    may   well    feel  gratified  by  the 
improvement  noticeable  in  Commencement 


Week  conditions  at  the  University.  Com- 
mencement is  no  longer  the  dreary  affair 
of  the  past. 

The  authorities  have  long  recognized 
the  necessity  of  making  the  proceedings 
more  attractive  and  entertaining  if  alum- 
ni interest  and  attendance  were  to  be  in- 
creased. Hence  the  June  ball  games  with 
Pennsylvania,  which  have  proved  a  most 
successful  experiment,  supplying,  as  they 
do,  an  element  of  the  highest  interest  to 
alumni,  most  of  whom  enjoy  few  oppor- 
tunities to  see  a  Michigan  team  in  action. 

The  Mass  Meeting  in  Hill  Memorial, 
followed  by  the  procession  of  alumni,  led 
by  the  "M  men"  and  the  Michigan  band, 
a  splendid  organization  as  re-organized, 
is  another  new  feature  which  has  great 
possibilities  and  should  be  made  an  an- 
nual event. 

Other  significant  changes  can  be  ob- 
served. In  shoft,  on  every  hand  it  is 
apparent  that  concerted  effort  is  being 
made  to  accomplish  the  purposes  alluded 
to,  and  it  must  be  said  that  a  very  grati- 
fying measure  of  success  has  been  gained. 
Much  remains  to  be  done,  doubtless,  for 
a  revolution  of  this  sort  cannot  be  ac- 
complished in  a  short  time,  but  if  this 
purpose  continues  to  animate  those  in 
charge  Commencement  at  Michigan  bids 
fair  to  become  the  controlling  factor  in 
the  University's  campaign  to  knit  more 
closely  the  bonds  uniting  herself  and  her 
alumni. 

One  of  the  most  noticeable  of  the  re- 
cent developments  incident  to  Commence- 
ment is  the  so-called  "Graduates'  Club," 
an  exclusively  social  institution  which 
holds  two  or  three  evening  meetings  dur- 
ing Commencement  Week  in  the  old  skat- 
ing rink,  and  whose  purpose  is  to  furnish 
visiting  alumni  an  opportunity  to  meet 
and  refresh  themselves  with  song,  etc., 
free  from  restrictions  and  formality.  For 
the  conception  and  launching  of  this 
project  we  are  indebted  to  the  enterprise 
of  certain  well-known  alumni,  resident  in 
Ann  Arbor. 


Now  is  the  time  to 
NOW  FOR  REUN-  make  plans  for  the 
IONS  IN  1915  reunions    next    June. 

It  is  not  a  minute  to 
early  to  begin  to  stir  things  up.  The 
last  Commencement  season  was  unus- 
ually   successful,    as    the    foregoing

shows,  but  there  is  no  reason  why  we 
should  not  have  twice  as  much  enthu- 
siasm next  year.  In  the  first  place, 
remember  the  date,  June  22  and  23, 
1915,  and  plan  to  be  there,  particular- 
ly if  your  class  is  due  to  hold  a  re- 
union. According  to  the  Dix  sched- 
ule, the  following  classes  are  due  to 
meet:  '13,  '02,  '01.  '00,  '99,  '83,  '82, 
'81,  '80,  ^64,  '63,  *62,  '61.  CD;  There 
are  some  classes,  however,  which 
still  prefer  to  adhere  to  the  old 
schedule.    In  that  case,  it  will  be  those 


whose  year  ends  in  5  or  o.  If  your 
class  plans  to  hold  a  reunion,  you  will 
probably  hear  from  your  class  secre- 
tary soon,  but  if  you  have  no  word, 
or  if  you  belong  to  one  of  those  class- 
es who  have  no  class  secretary,  we 
recommend  that  the  individual  mem- 
bers of  the  class  get  busy.  Write  to 
the  General  Secretary,  and  he  will  see 
that  a  class  secret4r>'  is  appointed. 
There  is  no  reason  why  we  shouldn't 
have  thirty  or  forty  class  reunions 
next  June.

presented  were  "Masques  and  Faces," 
by  Charles  Reade  and  Tom  Taylor; 
"Twelfth  Night";  "A  Midsummer 
Night's  Dream";  "As  You  Like- It'; 
and  "The  Tempest." 

Principal  Jesse  B.  Davis,  of  the

Walton  H.  Hamilton,  Assistant 
Professor  of  Political  Economy  in  the 
University,  has  resigned  his  position 
to  accept  an  assistant  professorship  in 
the  same  subject  at  the  University  of 
Chicago.  Professor  Hamilton  has 
taught  here  for  four  years,  coming  to 
the  University  as  an  instructor  in 
1910.  In  addition  to  teaching  the  ele- 
mentary classes,  he  has  h^d  charge  of 
the  courses  in  current  problems  and 
industrial  reforms.  In  his  new  posi- 
tion. Professor  Hamilton  will  have 
charge  of  the  work  in  economic  theo- 
ry, which  is  made  up  for  the  most 
part  of  graduate  courses. 


The  Landscape  Department  has 
taken  over  the  old  botanical  gardens 
on  the  Boulevard,  which  were  found 
inadequate  for  botanical  experiments, 
and  plans  to  transform  them  into  a 
laboratory  for  advanced  students  in 
landscape  design.  This  will  necessi- 
tate a  great  amount  of  work,  and  ac- 
cording to  Professor  Tealdi,  who  is 
supervising  the  project,  it  will  be  a 
year  or  more  before  the  laboratory 
will  be  completed  and  ready  for  actual 
use. 

H.  Beach  Carpenter,  '14,  '16/,  Rock- 
ford,  III,  managing  editor  of  The 
Michigan  Daily  for  the  coming  year, 
and  W.  Sherwood  Field,  '15,  Grand 
Rapids,  business  manager,  have  ap- 
pointed the  following  members  of  the 
Daily  staff:  Fred  B.  Foulk,  '15/,  Ann 
Arbor,  editor  of  the  Cosmopolitcm 
Student,  news  editor;  T.  Hawley 
Tapping,  '16/,  Peoria,  111.,  and  Francis 
F.  McKinney,  '16/,  Washington,  D. 
C,  associate  editors ;  Felix  M.  Church,

Permission  has  been  given  provi- 
sionally by  the  Senate  for  an  extended 
trip  for  the  1915  Michigan  Union 
Opera  during  the  week  of  spring  va- 
cation, April  10  to  19,  inclusive.  It 
is  planned  to  visit  all  the  nearby 
towns  th^t  are  strong  enough  in  alum- 
ni sentiment,  and  Manager  Heath,  of 
the  Union,  has  outlined  a  tentative 
itinerary  which  includes  visits  to 
Grand  Rapids,  Kalamazoo,  South 
Bend,  Chicago,  Fort  Wayne,  Toledo 
and  Detroit.  If  the  alumni  demand  is 
strong  enough,  it  is  probable  that  two 
performances  will  be  given  in  both 
Detroit  and  Chicago.  The  Hill  Audi- 
torium, will,  in  all  probability,  be  used 
for  the  home  performances,  instead 
of  the  Whitney  Theater,  as  formerly. 
Comparatively  little  expense  will  be 
needed  to  make  the  stage  of  the  Audi- 
torium suitable  for  the  production  of 
the  Opera,  and  the  large  hall  will  en- 
sure accommodations  for  everyone 
who  wishes  to  attend.

eighths  of  a  mill.

the  University  by  the  Flavoring  Ex- 
tract Manufacturers'  Association  for 
an  independent  authoritative  scientific 
study  of  the  manufacture  and  analysis 
of  vanilla  extract.  Dr.  Julius  O. 
Schlotterbeck,  'Syp,  '91,  who  has  this 
fall  returned  to  his  professorship  in 
the  Department  of  Pharmacy  after 
two  years  leave  of  absence,  is  the 
chairman  of  the  committee  on  Scien- 
tific Research,  and  is  also  vice-presi- 
dent of  the  Association.  Samuel  H. 
Baer,  '96,  of  the  B'lanke-Baer  Chem- 
ical Co.,  St.  Louis,  is  the  president  of 
the  Association. 

At  the  University  of  Michigan  at 
the  present  time  there  are  seventeen 
sectional  clubs,  representing  as  many 
diflPerent  portions  of  the  country.  The 
largest  club  is  that  composed  of  stu- 
dents from  the  State  of  Illinois, with 
a  membership  last  year  of  102,  and 
the  deans  of  the  Literary  and  Law 
Departments  as  honorary  members. 
The  Dixie  Club,  made  up  of  students 
whose  homes  are  below  the  Mason 
and  Dixon  line,  has  a  membership  of 
73,  with  16  states  represented.  One 
hundred  and  twenty-five  students, 
representing  28  countries,  make  up 
the  membership  of  the  Cosmopolitan 
Club.  The  Thumb  Club,  made  up  of 
men  coming  from  the  "Thumb"  dis- 
trict of  Michigan,  numbers  60  mem- 
bers ;  the  Club  I^atino  Americano,  an 
organization  of  students  whose  homes 
are  located,  as  its  name  indicates,  in 
the  Latin-American  countries,  has  a 
membership  of  18;  and  the  Rocky 
Mountain  Club,  now  the  Kappa  Beta 
Psi  fraternity,  is  made  up  of  40  men 
representing    12   states    west   of   the 


Mississippi;  while  in  the  Dominion 
Club,  made  up  of  students  from  Can- 
ada, are  more  than  a  score  of  mem- 
bers. Among  the  state  clubs  are  the 
Indiana  Club,  organized  last  year, 
with  a  membership  of  60;  the  New 
York  State  Club,  which  is  housed  in 
its  own  building,  with  30  members; 
and  the  Kentucky  Club,  with  35  mem- 
bers. Of  the  city  clubs,  that  repre- 
senting Grand  Rapids  is  the  largest, 
with  64  members.  In  the  Cabinet 
Club,  are  26  men  whose  homes  are  in 
Washington,  and  20  students  living 
in  BuflFalo  have  recently  organized  a 
club.  Two  Detroit  high  schools  are 
represented  in  clubs,  the  Phoenix 
Club,  with  a  membership  made  up  of 
40  graduates  from  the  Detroit  West- 
em  High  School,  and  the  Totem  Club, 
with  about  the  same  number  of  alimi- 
ni  from  the  Detroit  Eastern  High 
School  as  members. 

From  Lieutenant  Thomas  M. 
Spaulding,  '05,  now  at  Washington, 
D.  C,  The  Alumnus  has  received 
the  following  tabulation  of  represen-

EVENT  IN  BRIEF 


Dr.  Victor  C.  Vaughan,  Dean  of 
the  Medical  Department,  was  inaugu- 
rated as  President  of  the  American 
Medical  Association  at  its  sixty-fifth 
annual  convention,  held  at  Atlantic 
City  in  June,  succeeding  Dr.  John  A. 
Witherspoon,  of  Nashville,  Tenn.  For 
his  inaugural  address,  Dr.  Vaughan 
chose  the  subject  **The  Service  of 
Medicine  to  Civilization.*' 

That  the  University  Hospital  is 
rapidly  increasing  both  in  size  and 
efficiency  is  shown  by  the  figures  re- 
cently compiled  for  the  year  ending 
June  30,  1913.  During  that  time,  the 
Hospital  cared  for  6,803  patients,  an 
increase  of  1,107  over  the  previous 
year.  Of  this  number,  791  came  from 
outside  the  State.  This  increase  was 
made  possible  by  the  recent  extensive 
improvements   in    the   hospital   pbnt, 


whereby  a  larger  number  of  patients 
can  be  accommodated,  and  be  better 
cared  for,  than  at  any  time  in  the  his- 
tor\'  of  the  Hospital.  The  receipts 
for  that  year  from  all  sources  amount- 
ed to  $124,928.22,  an  increase  of 
$26,757.86  over  1911-12,  but  the  run- 
ning expenses,  nevertheless,  exceeded 
the  receipts  by  some  $10,000.  Seven- 
ty-four beds  have  been  added,  making 
the  total  capacity  of  the  Hospital  374. 
As  the  State  has  recently  made  it  pos- 
sible for  the  judges  of  probate  to  refer 
children  to  the  University  Hospital  at 
their  discretion  for  treatment  at  state 
expense,  thirty-five  of  the  new  beds 
were  added  to  the  children's  ward  in 
order  to  meet  this  emergency.  The 
number  of  nurses  in  the  training 
school  has  also  been  increased  from 
100  to  125,  and  the  number  of  nurses 
in  the  hospital  from  65  to  125.

THE'  SUMMER  SESSION 

According  to  figures  recently  made  public  by  Dean  E.  H.  Kraus,  the 
registration  for  the  Summer  Session  of  1914  proved  to  be  the  largest  in  the 
history  of  the  University.  A  total  of  1,594  students  were  enrolled,  a  gain  of 
192  over  the  previous  year.  With  the  exception  of  the  Biological  Station, 
where  only  2^  students  were  registered,  as  against  29  in  1913,  there  were 
substantial  increases  in  every  department,  the  largest  being  shown  in  the 
Departments  of  Engineering  and  Architecture,  in  the  Graduate  Department, 
and  in  the  courses  in  Library  Methods,  Embalming  and  Sanitary  Science. 
Ninety-five  students  were  enrolled  at  the  Bogardus  Engineering  Camp,  a 
gain  of  35  over  previous  years;  12  registered  for  the  course  in  Sanitary 
Science,  as  against  three  in  1913,  while  the  unexpectdly  large  registration 
of  33  in  the  Library  Methods  course  taxed  to  the  utmost  the  present  facili- 
ties f»r  instruction. 

Following  is  the  comparative  table  of  attendance  for  1913  and  1914 
in  the  different  departments :

Unusual  interest  was  shown  this  year  in  the  program  of  special  lectures 
and  entertainments.  The  seventy-two  numbers  included  fifty-two  lectures, 
two  geological  excursions,  four  recitals  by  the  Department  of  Oratory,  five 
open-air  performances  by  the  Ben  Greet  Woodland  Players,  six  concerts 
in  Hill  Auditorium  by  the  members  of  the  Faculty  of  the  University  School 
of  Music,  three  vistors'  nights  at  the  Observatory  and  the  President's  an- 
nual reception  to  the  students  of  the  Summer  Session.  :fn  addition  to  the 
usual  lectures  by  members  of  the  University  Faculty,  addresses  were  given 
by  Dr.  E.  S.  Buchanan,  of  Oxford,  England;  Regent  J.  E.  Beal,  of  Ann 
Arbor ;  Dr.  J.  L.  Snyder,  President  of  the  Michigan  Agricultural  College  ; 
Mr.  J.  B.  r^vis.  Principal  of  the  Grand  Rapids  Central  High  School ;  Re- 
gent L.  L.  Hubbard,  of  Houghton;  Mr.  E.  C.  Warriner,  Superintendent 
of  Schools  of  Saginaw,  E.  S. ;  and  Dr.  C.  E.  Chadsey,  Superintendent  of 
Schools  of  Detroit. 

The  Ann  Arbor  Civic  Association  also  co-operated  with  the  University, 
offering  courses  in  typewriting,  stenography  and  domestic  science,  and 
conducting  an  extensive  program  of  popular  lectures  and  entertainments, 
in  addition  to  those  offered  by  the  University.

1914I  COMPARATIVE  CLUB  STANDINGS  n 

THE  COMPARATIVE  STANDING  OF  FRATERNITIES  AND  HOUSE 
CLUBS 

The  scholastic  standing  of  the  fraternities,  sororities  and  other  house 
clubs  in  the  University  for  the  year  1913-14  is  shown  in  the  third  annual 
chart  which  has  just  been  made  public.  As  a  whole,  the  statistics  are  en- 
couraging. Comparison  with  the  two  previous  charts,  the  second  of  which 
was  published  in  the  October,  1913,  Alumnus,  is  interesting.  There  is  a 
noticeable  upward  movement  on  the  part  of  the  general  fraternities,  with 
the  average  raised  from  below  to  just  above  the  C  grade,  or  passing  line. 
This,  however,  is  the  lowest  general  average  in  any  classification.  The 
chart  reveals  the  fact  that  all  the  fraternities  are  still  way  below  all  the 
sororities,  with  one  exception,  a  sorority  in  which  most  of  the  members  are 
from  the  School  of  Music. 

Quite  noticeable  is  the  improvement  in  the  two  tail-enders  of  previous 
years,  Sigma  Phi,  which  is  now  well  above  the  average  grade,  advancing  to 
ninth  place  in  two  years,  and  Delta  Chi,  which  has  risen  to  just  above 
the  average  in  one  year.  The  lead  is  still  held  by  Kappa  Beta  Psi,  formerly 
known  as  the  Rocky  Mountain  Club.  The  highest  average  in  the  general 
classifications  is  that  of  the  "general  sororities,"  with  the  "other  women's 
clubs"  not  far  behind.  Both  of  these  classifications  are  well  above  the  aver- 
age for  the  entire  University,  while  all  the  men's  organizations  are  below. 
The  average  for  all  unorganized  students  is  slightly  above  the  general 
average,  while  that  of  all  house  clubs  is  somewhat  below, — a, rather  signifi- 
cant fact.  There  has  been  a  slight  falling-off  in  the  averages  of  "women's 
clubs"  other  than  sororities,  and  for  "other  men's  clubs,"  which  has  reduced 
the  general  average  for  all  house  clubs  slightly.  The  average  for  all  unor- 
ganized students  has  also  dropped  slightly  during  the  past  year. 

In  the  column  where  correction  was  needed  the  most,  that  of  the  gen- 
eral fraternities,  the  leaders  are  higher  than  last  year,  and  the  lowest  fra- 
ternity is  not  so  low.  The  general  emphasis  is  rather  above  the  C  grade, 
while  last  year  it  was  considerably  below.  The  rapid  rise  of  the  foot  of  the 
class  is  a  sure  indication  of  the  effect  of  the  publication  of  these  charts, 
though  it  is  to  be  regretted  that  certain  organizations  seem  contented  with 
the  average,  or  worse  than  average,  position,  which  they  hold.  The  way  in 
which  the  charts  have  been  heeded,  however,  is  a  striking  commentary  on 
the  need  for  some  such  stimulant  for  scholarship.  The  fraternities  them- 
selves have  become  conscious  of  the  need  of  improvement,  and  the  recent 
organization  on  their  own  initiative,  of  an  Inter-fraternity  Conference  is 
the  result.  After  a  series  of  conferences  with  the  University  Senate,  the 
fraternities  revised  their  house  rules,  and  of  their  own  accord  adopted  the 
more  stringent  regulations  regarding  rushing  and  initiating  freshmen,  which 
were  published  last  year.  The  upperclassmen  also  took  upon  themselves  the 
duty  of  watching  closely  the  work  of  the  lowerclassmen.  To  aid  in  these 
efforts  for  reform  the  fraternities  requested  that  the  comparative  standing 
of  each  fraternity,  sorority  and  other  organized  groups  be  made  public. 
These  charts  which  are  distributed  among  the  different  groups,  and  are 
widely  used  in  rushing  and  as  a  spur  for  lagging  students,  were  the  result.

14  THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS  [October 

ARRANGEMENTS  FOR  THE  PENNSYLVANIA-MICHIGAN  GAME 

The  following  arrangements  have  been  made  by  the  Athletic  Associa- 
tion for  the  accommodation  of  Michigan  and  Pennsylvania  alumni  and  their 
friends  in  the  distribution  of  seats  for  the  Pennsylvania  game  on  November 
7.  All  applications  for  tickets  should  be  made  out  to  P.  G.  Bartelme,  Ann 
Arbor,  and  mailed  at  once,  as  all  applications  will  be  filled  in  the  order  hi 
which  they  are  received.  This  is  important.  In  any  case,  the  management 
does  not  guarantee  to  furnish  the  seats  in  any  particular  location,  although 
if  a  special  stand  or  section  is  specified,  the  sender's  wishes  will  be  followed 
as  far  as  possible.  When  that  cannot  be  done,  seats  will  be  assigned  in  the 
best  possible  location  remaining,  at  the  discretion  of  the  management.  All 
applications  must  be  in  writing,  and  should  reach  the  Athletic  Association 
on  or  before  October  31  for  the  Pennsylvania  game.  The  same  arrange- 
ments are  in  force  for  the  Cornell  game,  which  is  to  be  held  Saturday, 
November  14,  for  which  applications  should  reach  the  Association  on  or 
before  November  7.  Remittances  must  be  made  by  New  York,  Chicago 
or  Detroit  exchange,  postoffice  or  express  money  order,  payable  to  P.  G. 
Bartelme.  Twelve  cents  in  stamps  should  be  included  for  return  postage 
and  registering. 

The  prices  of  reserved  seats  for  both,  including  admission,  are  as 
follows : 

Side  Bleacher  Seats,  each $2 .00 

Box  Seats  from  the  20-yard  line  to  the  end  of  the  field 

(six  seats  in  each  box)  each  seat ' 3.00 

Box  Seats  between  the  20-yard  lines  (six  seats  in  ^ich  box) 

Each  seat 4.00 

Special  transportation  arrangements  will  be  made  by  the  Michigan  Cen- 
tral and  Ann  Arbor  Railroads  and  the  interurban  lines,  so  that  there  will  be 
ample  train  service  from  all  points  where  the  business  warrants.  Many 
of  these  special  trains  will  be  run  on  the  Ann  Arbor  tracks  direct  to  the 
field. 

Arrangements  have  also  been  made  with  the  Harvard  Athletic  Asso- 
ciation whereby  the  University  has  the  privilege  of  distributing  reservations 
for  the  Harvard  game  to  the  Michigan  alumni  and  their  friends.  This 
will  bring  Michigan's  supporters  together  in  one  of  the  most  desirable 
sections  of  the  east  side  of  the  Harvard  Stadium.  Tickets  can  be  secured 
through  Mr.  Bartelme,  and  applications  should  be  made  directly.  Ar- 
rangements are  being  perfected  for  a  special  train  leaving  Ann  Arbor  and 
Detroit  on  Thursday  afternoon,  arriving  in  Boston  Friday  noon.  For  fur- 
ther particulars,  write  Mr.  L.  D.  Heusner,  Passenger  Department,  M.  C. 
R.  R.,  Detroit,  Mich. 

JOHN  BLACK  JOHNSTON,  '93

parative  neurology,  Dr.  Johnston  has  shown  himself  well  adapted  to  gen- 
eral executive  work,  and  was  really  elected  by  a  referendum  vote  of  the 
entire  faculty  of  the  college.  A  discussion  of  "University  Organization*' 
by  Dr.  Johnston  appears  on  page  20.    A  biographical  sketch  follows: 

John  Black  Johnston  was  bom  on  October  3,  1868,  at  Belle  Center, 
Ohio.  Entering  the  University  with  the  class  of  1893,  ^^  was  graduated 
with  the  degree  of  Ph.B.,  receiving  his  doctor's  degree  six  years  later. 
Upon  graduation  he  became  assistant,  and  then  instructor  in  zoology  in  the 
University,  remaining  in  Ann  Arbor  until  1899,  when  he  left  to  become

assistant  professor  of  zoology  in  the  University  of  West  Virginia.  The 
next  year  he  was  made  professor  in  the  same  subject,  and  in  1907 
he  was  called  to  the  University  of  Minnesota  as  assistant  professor 
of  anatomy  of  the  nervous  system.  Here  he  has  remained,  becom- 
ing in  1908  associate  professor  of  comparative  neurology,  and  the 
next  year  professor  of  that  subject.  The  summers  of  1896  and 
1901  he  spent  at  the  Marine  Biological  Laboratory  in  further  study, 
and  the  summer  of  1904  he  was  at  the  Bermuda  Biological  Station.  In 
1904-5  he  was  a  student  at  the  Zoological  Station  at  Naples  and  the  Uni- 
versity of  Freiburg.  Since  1910  he  has  acted  as  secretary  of  the  medical 
faculty,  and  since   1911   as  editor-in-chief  of  the  Research  Publications.

manufacturer,  principally  in  the  iron  and  timber  industry,  and  for  many 
years  was  associated  with  some  of  the  most  prominent  business  men  of 
Detroit.  He  has  always  taken  an  absorbing  interest  in  politics,  serving  as 
prosecuting  attorney  of  Lorain  County,  Ohio,  from  1885-8,  and  as  member 
of  Congress  from  the  14th  Ohio  District  in  the  6ist  and  626.  Congresses. 
Nearly  twenty  years  ago,  he  was  married  to  Miss  Hallie  Clough,  of  Elyria, 
and  has  five  children,  one  of  whom,  his  namesake,  he  is  preparing  for 
admission  to  the  University  of  Michigan. 


SOME  GIFTS  TO  THE  UNIVERSITY 

Through  the  generosity  of  Mr.  Dean  C.  Worcester,  '89,  ScD.  (hon) 
'14,  member  of  the  second  Philippine  Commission,  and  until  recently 
Secretary  of  the  Interior  of  the  Philippine  Islands,  the  University  has 
received  a  large  and  very  valuable  collection  of  documents  relating  to  the 
Philippine  Islands.  This  gift  to  the  University  was  made  known  to  the 
Regents  at  their  July  meeting  through  a  letter  from  Mr.  Worcester  describ- 
ing in  some  detail  the  character  of  the  collection. 

The  collection  represents  the  work  of  more  than  fourteen  years  of 
service  in  the  Philippines.  Some  of  the  documents  are  printed,  many  of 
theni  are  in  manuscript,  while  a  considerable  number  are  of  a  confidential 
nature.  Included  in  the  list  are  notes  made  on  numerous  exploring  expe- 
ditions into  territory  pre\'iously  unknown  or  wtvy  imperfectly  known,  un- 
der Mr.  Worcester's  immediate  supervision.  They  are  illustrated  with 
numerous  photographs  which  are  now  of  considerable  value,  and  will  be- 
come more  valuable  with  the  lapse  of  time. 

There  are  copies  of  many  of  the  official  letters  written  during  Mr. 
Worcester's  incumbency  as  Secretary  of  the  Interior  of  the  Islands,  of 
which  he  kept  separate  copies,  as  well  as  of  many  important  endorsements. 
These  have  all  been  bound  by  years  and  indexed.  Copies  of  all  documents 
in  connection  with  a  number  of  important  questions  which  provoked  more 
or  less  controversy  are  also  preserved,  while  there  is  a  fairly  complete 
set  of  official  reports  and  government  publications  of  every  description. 
There  is  also  a  valuable  collection  of  newspaper  clippings  dealing  with  im- 
portant events. 

The  only  expense  to  the  University  connected  with  this  very  important 
gift  is  the  actual  cost  of  packing  and  transportation,  of  such  documents 
as  may  be  transmitted  from  time  to  time.  There  are  a  few  restrictions  which 
arise  out  of  the  confidential  nature  of  some  of  the  documents,  some  of 
which  will  be  sealed,  and  are  not  to  be  opened  until  a  date  noted  on  the  out- 
side. 

In  accepting  this  generous  gift,  the  Board  of  Regents  provided  that 
the  collection  should  be  amply  cared  for  in  the  new  reserve  book  stacks 
of  the  University  Library,  and  that  it  should  be  known  as  the  Dean  C. 
Worcester  Collection  of  Manuscripts  and  Books  Dealing  with  the  Philipn 
pines. 

Further  provision  was  made  for  the  copying  of  a  series  of  selected 
documents,  numbering  some  250,000,  which  were  captured  by  the  army

during  the  insurrection  in  the  Philippines.  These  were  written  in  Spanish, 
Spanish  cipher,  Tagalog  or  Tagalog  cipher  and  some  even  in  Visayan  or 
other  native  dialects.  They  had  been  translated  by  Major  J.  R.  M.  Taylor, 
of  the  Department  of  Military  Information,  who  with  a  corps  of  assist- 
ants worked  for  four  years  translating  and  classifying  them.  Major  Taylor 
also  wrote  an  important  historical  narrative  covering  the  last  insurrection 
of  the  Philippines  against  Spain,  the  insurrection  against  the  United  States 
and  the  establishment  of  civil  government,  supporting  his  statements  by  more 
than  1, 800  carefully  selected  documents  which  were  attached  as  exhibits. 

It  had  been  originally  intended  to  publish  this  matter,  but  the  plan  was 
abandoned  when  the  type  was  set  and  standing.  The  plates  were  destroyed, 
but  four  sets  of  galley  proof  had  fortunately  been  taken.  One  set  of  these 
proofs,  at  present  the  property  of  Major-General  J.  F.  Bell,  is  now  in 
Mr.  Worcester's  custody.  As  the  documents  are  of  very  great  importance 
in  adding  great  understanding  of  past  and  present  conditions  in  the  Phil- 
ippine Islands,  it  is  suggested  by  Mr.  Worcester  that  a  typewritten  copy  be 
made  of  them.  Provision  was  accordingly  made  by  the  University  for 
copying  the  matter,  which  consists  of  some  987  galleys,  the  whole  forming 
a  great  addition  to  the  collection. 


In  connection  with  Dean  C.  Worcester's  gift,  it  is  also  a  pleasure  to 
notice  a  gift  to  the  University  of  Dr.  C.  B.  de  Nancrede,  Professor  of 
Surgery  in  the  Medical  Department,  received  by  the  Regents  at  the  same 
meeting.  In  a  letter  to  the  Board  Dr.  de  Nancrede  stated  that  he  had  a 
number  of  useful  and  valuable  medical  instruments  which  he  desired  to 
present  to  the  University  Hospital,  where  he  hoped  they  might  prove  as 
serviceable  as  they  had  in  the  past.  Although  they  are  not  now  capable  of 
being  sold  for  any  such  amount,  the  original  cost  was  about  $1,000,  and  it 
would  require  that  sum  to  duplicate  them.  Dr.  de  Nancrede  also  found  that 
he  had  some  hundreds  of  medical  works  in  his  possession  which  were  not 
in  the  possession  of  the  University  Library,  and  he  asked  that  such  books 
as  were  not  duplicates  be  accepted  by  the  University  in  order  that  they 
might  be  of  use  to  students.  Dr.  de  Nancrede  estimates  that  there  are  about 
500  volumes  in  the  collection. 

THE  NEW  STAND  ON  FERRY  FIELD 

Construction  of  the  concrete  football  stand  has  been  progressing  rap- 
idly all  summer  long,  and  was  practically  complete  on  September  11.  All 
that  remained  to  be  done  after  this  date  was  the  placing  of  a  large  portion 
of  the  ten  inch  plank  seats  on  their  concrete  pedestals.  Half  of  the  stand 
was  ready  for  use  at  the  time  of  the  early  games  of  the  season,  while  the 
whole  stand  will  be  dedicated,  it  is  expected,  at  the  Pennsylvania  game  on 
November  7,  19 14. 

The  seats  of  the  stand  are  arranged  somewhat  differently  from  those 
in  the  stadiums  of  other  universities.  For  a  person  of  ordinary  height 
there  will  be  four  inches  clearance  above  any  person  sitting  in  front  of  him.

a  result  obtained  by  constructing  the  first  eleven  rows  with  9-inch  risers, 
the  second  eleven  with  lo-inch  risers,  the  third  eleven  with  ii-inch  risers, 
the  fourth  eleven  with  12-inch  risers  and  the  last  eleven  with  13-inch  risers. 
This  arrangement,  which  gives  the  stand  a  graceful,  concave  appearance, 
has,  according  to  the  athletic  authorities,  caused  a  rather  amusing  rumor 
to  be  circulated  to  the  effect  that  the  stand  was  sinking  in  tlje  middle. 

A  careful  study  of  the  concrete  stands  and  stadiums  elsewhere  was 
made  by  the  Board  in  Control  of  Athletics  before  the  plans  for  this  new 
one  were  prepared.  The  Board  feels  confident  that  for  the  purposes  in- 
tended, viz.,  to  seat  as  large  a  number  of  people  as  possible  comfortably, 
and  to  bring  them  as  close  as  possible  to  the  field  of  play,  the  type  of  this 
new  stand  is  superior  to  any  other,  though  costing  considerably  less  per 
seat. 

Some  comparative  figures  with  the  stands  at  Yale,  Harvard  and  Chi- 
cago have  been  prepared  by  the  Association.  The  capacity  of  the  present 
structure,  which  is  one  side  of  the  projected  stadium,  is  13,200.  The 
capacity  of  the  stand  partially  completed  at  Chicago  is  8,800;  for  the 
complete  stadium  at  Harvard  39,000,  and  61,500  for  the  "bowl"  at  Yale. 
Whereas  the  present  structure  at  Michigan  cost  $55,000,  Yale's  will  cost 
$550,000,  with  the  others  somewhat  less.  There  are  55  rows  in  the  Mich- 
igan stand  as  against  33  at  Chicago,  31  at  Harvard  and  57  at  Yale.  The 
distance  from  the  side  line  of  the  thirty-first  row  at  Michigan  is  104  feet,  at 
Chicago  115  feet,  at  Harvard  106  feet  and  at  Yale  148  feet,  while  the  dis- 
tance from  the  goal  line,  if  extended  across  the  stand,  at  Michigan  is  about 
30  feet,  at  Chicago  about  75  feet,  at  Harvard  about  65  feet  and  at  Yale 
about  30  feet.  The  final  capacity  of  the  stand  will  be  in  the  neighborhood 
of  52,000,  as  against  31,000  at  Chicago,  46,500  at  Harvard,  and  61,500  at 
Yale,  while  the  cost  will  be  $275,000.  The  completed  Chicago  stand  will 
cost  about  $450,000,  while  Harvard's,  which  is  not  yet  entirely  complete, 
will  be  $500,000.

20  THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS  f  October 

UNIVERSITY  ORGANIZATION* 

This  subject  has  become  in  recent  years  one  of  intense  interest.  In 
most  utterances  on  the  subject  the  prominent  feature  is  the  statement  that 
our  universities  are  undemocratic,  that  they  are  monarchical  institutions  in 
a  democratic  countr)'.  This  criticism  takes  various  forms.  When  a  uni- 
versity president  speaks,  the  shortcomings  of  the  university  are  due  to  the 
fact  that  the  governing  board  are  ignorant,  shallow-minded,  arrogant  and 
headstrong ;  that  they  insist  upon  deciding  matters  beyond  their  knowledge 
and  will  not  be  guided  by  the  president.  When  a  university  professor 
speaks  it  is  the  university  presidency  which  is  at  fault.  Autocracy,  blind- 
ness, willfulness,  prejudice,  partiality,  lofty-mindedness,  oratorical  ability, 
money-getting  talents,  piety  and  many  other  virtues  and  vices  are  ascribed 
to  our  presidents,  but  in  the  minds  of  nearly  all  writers  the  presidency  is 
an  unsatisfactory  tool.  When  an  outsider  speaks,  both  president  and  gov- 
erning board  are  parts  of  a  vicious  organization. 

Let  us  grant  that  there  is  much  truth  in  this.  Boards  may  be  unwise ; 
the  presidency  may  be  unequal  to  its  responsibilities  and  opportunities.  Yet 
there  is  a  third  point  of  view,  a  more  ifundamental  consideration.  In  the 
American  University,  as  in  the  Russian  political  system,  the  chief  difficulty 
is  not  with  the  autocrat,  but  with  the  bureaucrat.  In  my  opinion,  we  can 
not  go  much  farther  astray  than  baldly  to  lay  the  shortcomings  of  our  uni- 
versities upon  the  president.  As  for  the  presidency,  it  is  part  of  a  great 
system ;  the  president  is  the  unfortunate  occupant  of  an  office. 

Let  us  see  how  the  matter  stands.  Any  large  institution  such  as  one 
of  our  universities,  in  order  to  be  successful,  must  have  general  aims  or 
policies,  must  have  an  organization  to  carry  them  out,  and  must  secure  at 
once  the  successful  operation  of  each  of  its  subdivisions  in  its  own  sphere 
and  the  co-operation  of  each  of  these  in  the  larger  ends  of  the  whole.  The 
president  is  given,  nominally  at  least,  the  responsibility  of  directing  this 
organization  in  general  and  the  right,  when  necessity  arises,  to  intervene  in 
the  conduct  of  any  of  the  parts  in  order  to  make  them  efficient  and  to  adjust 
their  relations  with  the  remainder  of  the  institution.  Can. any  president  do 
this  under  present  conditions? 

To  bring  about  efficient  work  for  desirable  ends  in  any  large  institution 
certain  things  are  necessary.  First,  a  knowledge  of  what  are  the  desirable 
aims  or  ideals  for  that  institution  and  of  how  these  ideals  should  be  adjusted 
to  the  conditions  of  human  life  and  to  the  life  of  the  particular  community 
from  time  to  time.  Second,  a  knowledge  on  the  part  of  the  executive  of 
the  workings  of  all  parts  of  the  institution  and  of  the  abilities  of  each  mem- 
ber of  the  staff.  Third,  the  possession  of  actual  power  by  the  executive  to 
secure  the  co-operation  of  all  parts  in  whatever  is  for  the  common  welfare. 
This  is  true  no  matter  whether  the  common  welfare  is  found  in  the  closest 
centralization  or  in  the  greatest  freedom  of  individual  action,  no  matter

the  University  of  Minnesota,  before  a  group  of  faculty  men  last  November.  It

I9I4]  UNIVERSITY  ORGANIZATION  21 

whether  the  executive  is  a  president  or  a  committee  or  takes  some  other 
form.  Our  universities  must  be  organized,  must  have  common  ends  and 
must  exercise  executive  power,  if  the  only  end  of  that  power  be  to  secure 
anarchy.  It  is  my  purpose  to  inquire  what  is  wrong  with  the  present  organ- 
ization that  our  universities  should  work  so  badly  and  that  individuals 
should  suflfer  so  in  the  process. 

Where  does  a  university  get  its  ideals  or  policies?  Necessarily,  they 
become  the  possession  of  the  institution  through  the  expression  of  ideas  or 
opinions  by  members  of  the  faculty  and  student  body  and  through  the 
acaimulation  of  such  ideas  in  the  form  known  as  traditions.  Individuals  in 
the  university,  whether  president,  instructors  or  students,  necessarily  fur- 
nish the  ideas  out  of  which  common  aims  are  constructed  and  in  accordance 
with  which  old  aims  are  adjusted  to  new  conditions.  Is  there  at  the  present 
time  any  adequate  means  by  which  the  ideas  of  individuals  can  be  made 
available  for  the  common  good  ?  Two  illustrations  will  answer  the  question 
in  part.  The  head  of  a  university  department  called  together  his  entire 
staff  including  student  assistants  to  discuss  the  organization  of  teaching 
with  a  view  to  improving  the  arrangement  and  content  of  the  courses  of 
study.  The  whole  matter  was  discussed  at  two  successive  meetings,  the 
professors  talking  over  various  plans  without  coming  to  any  satisfactory 
conclusion.  Instructors  and  assistants  had  been  asked  to  think  over  the 
matter  and  at  the  second  meeting  each  one  in  turn  was  called  upon  for  sug- 
gestions. One  assistant  had  a  plan  entirely  different  from  anything  that 
had  been  suggested.  He  outlined  it  and  showed  how  it  would  improve  the 
teaching  and  bring  about  a  better  correlation  in  the  work  of  the  department. 
The  men  of  professorial  rank  criticized  the  plan  severely  and  the  young  man 
was  made  to  feel  that  he  was  presumptuous  in  proportion  as  his  plan  was 
chimerical.  After  a  rather  long  interval  a  third  meeting  was  called.  The 
head  of  the  department  announced  that  a  plan  had  been  devised,  and  pro- 
ceeded to  outline  the  identical  plan  which  had  been  proposed  by  the  assistant. 
It  remained  in  effect  for  several  years.  Absolutely  no  hint  of  credit  or  rec- 
ognition was  ever  given  to  the  young  man.  Again,  an  instructor  arose  in 
general  faculty  meeting  in  an  arts  college  in  a  state  university  and  discusi^ed 
a  pending  question  at  some  length  and  with  much  cogency.  His  friends 
were  filled  with  apprehension  and  one  of  them  finally  succeeded  in  signalling 
to  the  speaker  to  desist.  He  was  afterwards  informed  by  the  dean  that  men 
below  the  rank  of  assistant  professor  were  not  expected  to  debate  questions 
in  the  facuky.  Instances  might  be  multiplied  to  show  that  great  difficulties 
stand  in  the  way  of  the  ideas  of  young  men  finding  expression  or  receiving 
consideration  in  our  universities.  It  is  a  well-known  fact  that  in  many  de- 
partments the  young  men  never  know  what  plans  are  afoot  until  their 
duties  are  assigned  them.  And  yet  the  young  men  are  the  only  ones  who 
can  offer  any  new  ideas  to  their  institutions.  Let  it  not  be  thought  that  the 
writer  has  any  personal  interest  in  this  aspect  of  the  question.  He  has 
passed  the  time  when  he  can  expect  to  produce  any  neiv  ideas.  Whatever 
new  ideas  he  might  have  contributed  to  the  universities  with  which  he  has 
been  connected  are  lost  forever, — unless  indeed,  ear  is  still  given  to  what

he  might  have  said  years  ago.  Of  course,  that  is  precisely  what  our  mode 
of  organization  means.  The  university  forbids  a  young  man  to  speak  until 
he  becomes  a  professor.  Then  if  he  has  not  forgotten  the  ideas  which  came 
to  him  in  the  days  of  his  youth  and  enthusiasm,  or  if  the  time  for  their 
application  has  not  long  gone  by,  the  institution  is  willing  to  listen  to  him. 
That  ensures  conservatism, — but  not  progress.  It  means  that  the  university 
never  adjusts  its  ideals  to  the  times  but  is  forever  denying  itself  the  infor- 
mation which  its  individual  members  could  supply. 

If  the  university  is  slow  and  inefficient  in  securing  information  as 
to  what  should  be  its  aims  and  policies,  what  about  the  sources  of 
information  for  the  executive  as  to  how  those  policies  are  being  carried 
out?  The  president  depends  for  his  information  first  upon  the  deans  of 
colleges  and  schools,  and  second,  upon  the  heads  of  departments.  He  de- 
pends upon  these  men  also  for  executive  functions  under  his  direction.  The 
president  must  depend  upon  these  men  for  information,  since  he  can  not  by 
any  possibility  know  all  the  details  by  his  own  observation.  Neither  can  he 
go  personally  to  all  individuals  for  information.  In  general  the  president 
is  equally  under  the  necessity  of  following  the  advice  of  his  heads  of  depart- 
ments, since  otherwise  he  would  lose  their  confidence  and  his  only  source 
of  information.  The  president  instead  of  being  the  autocratic  monster  that 
he  is.  depicted,  is  in  an  almost  pitiable  situation.  Unless  he  be  a  man  of 
altogether  extraordinary  energy  and  strength  of  purpose,  he  is  wholly  at 
the  mercy  of  his  heads  of  departments.  So  far  as  the  heads  of  departments 
are  honest,  wise  and  possessed  of  ideals  for  the  common  good  the  president 
is  fortunate,  and  nothing  that  I  may  say  in  this  talk  can  be  construed  as  a 
criticism  of  such  men.  But  heads  of  departments  are  endowed  with  human 
nature,  and  it  is  well  known  that  they  exhibit  it  in  the  conduct  of  their 
departments. 

In  one  case  a  department  of  chemistry  was  equipped  with  a  great 
amount  of  expensive  glassware  and  analytical  apparatus  of  which  the  head 
of  the  department  did  not  know  the  uses,  while  the  students'  tables  were 
almost  devoid  of  ordinary  reagent  bottles.  The  younger  men  in  the  depart- 
ment were  unable  for  a  long  time  to  secure  the  ordinary  equipment  needed. 
In  other  cases  men  who  were  drawing  full  professors'  salaries  have  taken 
their  time  for  outside  professional  work  or  for  dealing  in  real  estate,  coal 
or  gas,  neglecting  their  teaching  and  imposing  extra  work  on  the  instructors 
to  the  detriment  of  both  instructors  and  students.  A  head  of  department 
may  carry  on  for  years  policies  which  are  not  approved  by  a  single  member 
of  his  staff;  may  absent  himself  from  all  teaching  whatever;  may  neglect 
to  do  any  research  work  or  contribute  anything  to  the  advancement  of  his 
science;  may  pursue  constantly  a  policy  of  selfish  material  aggrandizement 
for  which  the  department  suffers  both  in  the  esteem  of  the  university  and 
in  the  decrease  of  scientific  work  which  the  members  of  staff  can  do ;  may 
deliberately  sacrifice  the  interests  of  the  students  to  his  personal  ambitions, 
and  may  in  these  ways  cause  constant  friction  and  great  waste  of  energy 
throughout  the  college — all  this  while  maintaining  a  pretense,  or  even  a 
belief,  that  he  is  a  most  public-spirited  and  useful  member  of  the  faculty.

The  head  may  conduct  his  department  in  such  a  way  as  to  make  research 
impossible  and  even  drive  men  out  of  his  department  because  they  do  re- 
search, all  the  while  that  he  himself  talks  of  the  importance  of  research. 
Heads  may  appoint  to  high  positions  men  who  have  given  no  evidence  what- 
ever of  their  qualifications  for  the  woiit  proposed.  Heads  of  departments 
and  deans  have  been  known  to  use  their  offices  to  secure  advancement  for 
their  personal  friends  and  are  able  to  sidetrack  valuable  proposals  for  the 
common  good  which  threaten  to  compete  with  their  own  interests. 

The  head  of  a  department  enjoys  a  remarkable  liberty  in  the  conduct 
of  his  department  and  in  the  performance  of  his  individual  duties.  He  may 
suppress  the  individualism  of  his  staff  members,  ignore  any  suggestions 
which  they  may  make,  and  dismiss  them  if  they  insist  upon  their  ideas.  He 
may  falsify  the  reports  as  to  the  teaching  and  other  work  done  by  himself 
and  by  members  of  his  staff.  If  subordinate  members  of  the  staff  have 
different  ideas  as  to  the  conduct  of  the  departments  they  are  vigorously 
overruled  by  the  head,  and  if  any  question  of  bad  policy  or  of  injustice  is 
brought  to  the  stage  of  investigation  by  the  president,  that  officer  is  gov- 
erned by  the  principle  that  all  matters  of  testimony  must  be  construed  by  him 
in  a  light  as  favorable  as  possible  to  the  head  of  the  department.  The  pres- 
ident is  bound  to  do  this  because  he  is  dependent  upon  his  heads  of  depart- 
ments for  information,  advice  and  executive  assistance.  The  "heads  of 
departments"  thus  become  a  system  which  involves  the  president  and  from 
the  toils  of  which  he  can  not  easily  extricate  himself.  It  is  a  matter  of  com- 
mon knowledge  that  in  some  departments  no  member  of  staff  is  asked  for 
his  opinions  or  is  encouraged  to  hold  or  express  independent  views,  that 
younger  members  of  the  faculty  commonly  dare  not  express  themselves 
publicly  or  go  to  the  president  or  dean  in  matters  in  which  they  differ  from 
the  heads  of  their  departments,  and  that  generally  the  department  head 
assumes  that  the  decision  of  any  question  resides  with  the  "responsible 
head,'*  regardless  of  the  views  of  his  subordinates.  There  is  no  way  in 
which  the  members  of  staff  can  influence  the  policy  of  their  department, 
there  is  no  channel  by  which  the  facts  can  be  brought  effectively  to  the 
notice  of  the  president  or  governing  board,  and  there  is  no  assurance  in  our 
present  form  of  organization  that  the  welfare  of  the  staff  or  their  opinions 
as  to  the  welfare  of  the  university  would  receive  consideration  if  opposed 
to  the  desires  of  the  department  head.  All  this  is  expressed  in  common 
university  parlance  by  saying  that  the  head  regards  the  department  as  his 
personal  property  and  the  members  of  staff  as  his  hired  men. 

I  believe  that  a  truer  statement  of  the  case  is  this.  Some  years  ago 
each  subject  was  taught  by  a  single  professor.  The  growth  in  the  number 
of  students  made  it  necessary  to  appoint  new  instructors  to  assist  the  pro- 
fessor. At  first  these  assistants  were  very  subordinate  in  years  and  experi- 
ence and  it  was  only  natural  that  the  responsibility  for  the  work  of  the 
department  should  remain  with  the  professor.  With  further  growth  of  the 
institution  the  department  staff  has  come  to  include  several  instructors  and 
professors,  each  of  whom  has  a  primary  interest  and  responsibility  in  the 
welfare  of  the  department  and  of  the  institution.     Instead  of  this  being

recognized,  the  full  powers  of  the  department  have  been  left  in  the  hands 
of  the  original  head.  These  heads  have  in  consequence  come  into  control  of 
these  sources  of  information  to  the  executive,  have  jealously  guarded  their 
great  powers,  and  are  able  to  direct  departmental  and  university  policies 
through  holding  the  president  in  ignorance  and  their  subordinates  in  con- 
tempt. In  other  words,  university  control  has  come  to  be  vested  in  a  system 
of  irresponsible  heads  of  departments.  This  was  what  was  meant  in  the 
beginning  by  saying  that  the  difficulty  lies  not  with  the  autocrat,  but  with 
the  bureaucrat.  More  than  one  well-meaning  university  president  has 
recognized  the  situation,  admitted  his  powerlessness  at  critical  periods  and 
has  sought  to  extricate  himself  and  his  university  by  having  recourse  to 
private  interviews  and  by  appointment  of  advisory  committees. 

If  the  only  evils  of  this  system  were  that  it  entails  upon  the  president 
great  difficulties  of  university  management  and  results  in  the  misdirection 
of  department  affairs  and  the  waste  of  material  resources,  it  would  not  be 
so  intolerable.  Its  more  serious  effects  are  that  it  lowers  the  efficiency  and 
the  moral  and  spiritual  tone  of  the  whole  institution,  that  it  wastes  the  time 
and  energy  of  whole  staffs  in  order  that  the  head  may  take  his  ease  or 
satisfy  his  ambitions.  Moreover,  taking  away  from  faculty  members  the 
responsibility  for  the  conception  and  execution  of  university  policies  is  the 
best  possible  way  to  break  down  the  practical  efficiency  of  these  men  and 
to  reduce  the  college  professor  by  a  process  of  natural  selection  to  the 
impractical,  inexperienced  hireling  that  he  is  popularly  supposed  to  be. 
Whether  this  is  in  part  the  cause  of  the  wretched  teaching  which  is  done 
in  our  universities  and  of  the  lack  of  standards  of  work  and  of  character 
for  the  student,  I  leave  you  to  judge. 

There  is  a  second  unfortunate  feature  in  our  university  organization 
to  which  I  will  give  only  brief  attention.  This  is  the  prominence  of  the 
colleges  and  schools  and  the  sharp  boundaries  between  them.  The  colleges 
are  not  based  upon  any  natural  subdivision  of  knowledge,  but  upon  practical 
or  technical  grounds.  Each  college  has  in  view  the  esteem  of  its  own 
profession  and  has  little  sympathy  with  other  colleges  which  make  up  the 
university.  The  ver>^  existence  of  the  colleges  creates  special  interests  and 
produces  strife  which  is  in  no  way  related  to  the  welfare  of  the  student  or 
the  general  public.  Teaching  and  equipment — apparatus,  supplies,  library 
— are  duplicated,  the  natural  relations  of  fields  of  knowledge  are  subordin- 
ated to  the  practical  application  of  specific  facts  and  laws,  college  walls 
and  college  interests  intervene  to  prevent  the  student  from  following  co- 
related  subjects  in  which  he  is  in-terested,  professional  interests  and  pro- 
fessional ideals  begin  early  to  narrow  the  student's  vision  and  to  substitute 
professional  tradition  and  practice  for  sound  judgment  and  an  open  mind. 
All  this  is  unfortunate.  The  professions  should  foster  but  not  confine  their 
apprentices.  A  student  preparing  for  professional  work  should  have  the 
advantage  of  the  traditions  and  practices  prevailing  in  the  profession,  but 
those  traditions  and  practices  should  not  constitute  limitations  on  his  oppor- 
tunities, his  enterprise  or  his  initiative. 

A  third  evil  tendency  in  pur  universities  is  the  growing  complexity  of 
administrative  organization.     Good  results  cannot  be  secured  by  relying

chiefly  on  a  system  of  checks  and  safeguards.  These  cannot  replace  cap- 
ability, honesty  and  a  genuine  interest  in  the  university's  welfare.  Checks 
and  safeguards  can  at  best  only  prevent  some  abuses,  while  they  certainly 
place  obstacles  in  the  way  of  men  who  would  do  honest  work.  It  is  of  doubt- 
ful valive  to  set  a  sheep  dog  to  keep  cats  from  killing  young  chickens — 
especially  when  the  main  business  of  the  imiversity  is  not  to  raise  either 
sheep  or  chickens,  but  to  rear  men.  There  is  a  constant  danger  that  good 
men  will  be  obliged  to  kotow  to  administrative  officials^  who  ought  to  be 
servants  but  who  proclaim  themselves  masters.  To  appoint  capable  men 
and  to  place  confidence  in  their  concordant  judgment  would  at  once  prevent 
the  abuses  and  secure  the  desirable  ends. 

FUNDAMENTAL  PRINCIPLES  UPON  WHICH  UNIVERSITY  ORGANIZATION  SHOULD 

REST 

The  functions  of  a  university  are  three.  First,  to  bring  together 
teachers  and  students  under  such  conditions  that  the  whole  field  of  know- 
ledge is  opened  to  the  student  and  he  is  offered  competent  and  reliable 
advice  and  assistance  in  his  studies.  The  second  function  arises  from  the  . 
responsibility  for  the  competent  direction  of  the  student's  work.  The  uni- 
versity must  examine  the  foundations  of  its  authority  by  making  original 
investigations  to  test,  correct  and  enlarge  the  existing  body  of  knowledge. 
No  institution  which  neglects  to  prosecute  research  in  as  many  fields  as 
practical  conditions  permit,  is  worthy  of  the  name  of  university.  The  third 
function  of  a  university  is  to  make  its  store  of  knowledge  practically  avail- 
able to  its  community  and  patrons  and  to  stimulate  in  the  members  and  the 
community  an  interest  in  the  further  acquisition  of  knowledge. 

The  university  is  thus  concerned  with  knowledge  and  its  applications. 
University  organization  exists  for  the  purpose  of  securing  suitable  conditions 
for  research  and  teaching,  for  the  acquisition  and  the  application  of  knowl- 
edge. Certain  of  the  conditions  of  successful  work  in  a  university  may  be 
laid  down  without  argument.  First,  thaft  each  individual  instructor  or  stu- 
dent should  enjoy  freedom  and  bear  responsibility  in  his  work,  i.  e.,  he 
should  be  judged  by  his  achievements.  Second,  the  recognition  of  the  facts 
that  dealing  with  knowledge  is  the  central  function  of  the  university ;  that 
all  organization  must  contribute  to  this  end;  that  the  teacher,  the  student 
and  the  research  worker  are  the  sole  persons  of  primary  value  in  the 
university ;  that  all  administrative  officers  are  accessory  machinery ;  that  all 
organization  should  spring  from  those  primarily  engaged  in  the  university's 
work ;  and  that  all  authority  should  rest  with  these  and  with  the  community 
which  supports  the  institution.  This  organic  relation  of  the  actual  workers 
to  the  university  government  is  at  once  a  natural  right  and  the  foundation 
of  that  personal  interest  and  enthusiasm  which  are  necessary  to  successful 
endeavor.  Note  that  I  do  not  say  that  the  instructor  and  research  worker 
should  be  made  to  feel  that  he  has  an  interest  in  the  university  organization 
and  a  part  in  university  policies  through  his  advice  and  so  forth,  but  that 
the  teacher  and  research  worker  is  in  the  nature  of  things  the  actual  source

of  authority  in  the  university,  conditioned  only  by  the  relations  of  the  univer- 
sity to  its  community. 

What,  now,  is  the  proper  form  of  university  organization,  and  how  can 
it  be  approached  in  our  state  universities? 

The  governing  board  should  represent  both  the  community  served  and 
the  university.  The  people  of  the  state  furnish  the  financial  and  spiritual 
support  for  the  university  and  receive  the  benefits  of  its  work.  The  sup- 
port can  be  withheld  whenever  the  returns  are  unsatisfactory.  The  interests 
of  the  people  do  not  require  to  be  protected  by  the  governing  board.  The 
members  of  the  university  faculties  contribute  their  lives  and  receive  in 
return  a  living  wage.  It  is  only  with  the  greatest  difficulty  that  they  can 
withdraw  their  investment  in  the  enterprise.  They  furnish  also  the  plans 
of  work  and  the  expert  direction.  The  nature  of  the  work  is  such  that  it 
is  essential  that  the  staff  should  have  a  free  hand  in  executing  its  plans 
and  should  be  responsible  to  the  people  for  its  achievements.  It  seems 
clear  that  a  governing  board  composed  of  three  members  appointed  by  the 
governor  from  the  state  at  large,  three  members  elected  by  university  fac- 
ulties from  their  own  number,  and  the  president,  would  at  least  not  err 
on  the  side  of  giving  too  great  autonomy  to  the  university.  It  is  clear  that 
complete  autonomy  would  carry  with  it  the  danger  of  losing  touch  with 
the  university's  constituency,  while  the  presence  of  an  equal  representation 
from  the  university  and  the  state  would  free  the  faculty  permanently  from 
the  stigma  of  control  by  "non-scholar  trustees."  Those  present  well  know, 
however,  that  boards  of  the  existing  type  may  show  an  excellent  spirit  and 
judgment. 

The  internal  organization  of  the  university  should  have  reference  solely 
to  efficiency  in  teaching  and  research.  The  organization  should  be  created 
by  the  members  of  the  staff  by  virtue  of  their  sovereign  powers  within 
the  institution.  The  first  natural  subdivision  of  the  university  is  that  into 
departments  based  upon  the  relations  of  the  fields  of  knowledge.  The 
process  of  subdivision  of  subjects  and  creation  of  new  departments  has  gone 
too  far  and  must  be  reversed.  Under  the  old  order  of  things  the  only  way 
for  a  man  of  parts  to  gain  recognition  and  influence  which  he  was  capable 
of  using,  was  to  become  the  head  of  a  department  or  the  dean  of  a  college. 
This  accounts  for  the  creation  of  many  new  departments  and  schools  for 
which  there  was  no  need.  Administration  could  be  simplified,  duplication 
of  work,  apparatus,  books  and  supplies  could  be  avoided,  and  a  closer 
correlation  ,and  a  better  spirit  and  more  stimulus  to  scholarly  work  could 
be  secured  by  the  creation  of  larger  departments  based  on  close  relation- 
ship of  subject-matter. 

The  staff  of  such  large  departments  might  number  ten,  twenty  or  more 
men.  In  the  nature  of  things,  the  organization  within  such  a  department  is 
based  upon  the  personal  interest  of  each  member  of  the  staff  in  the  success 
and  welfare  of  the  department,  and  its  object  should  be  to  place  the  resources 
of  the  department  in  the  fullest  degree  at  the  command  of  the  student  and 
to  facilitate  research.  These  things  can  be  secured  only  where  there  is 
harmony  among  the  staff  and  where  the  ideas  of  the  staff  are  carried  out

in  the  administration  of  the  department.  Harmony  of  ideals  and  executive 
representation  can  be  secured  only  by  the  election  both  of  new  members  of 
the  staff  and  of  the  administrative  head  of  the  department.  New  members 
of  staff  should  be  nominated  to  the  president  by  those  who  will  be  their 
colleagues  and  who  are  best  able  to  judge  of  their  fitness  for  their  places. 
The  president  will  of  course  actively  share  the  responsibility  of  appoint- 
ments. Pronations  should  be  recommended  by  the  chairman  and  approved 
by  a  university  committee  on  promotions. 

All  important  business  should  be  done  in  staff  meetings.  The  chair- 
man should  administer  department  affairs  according  to  the  decisions  and  by 
the  authority  of  the  staff  and  should  represent  the  staff  in  relations  with 
other  departments.  Within  the  department  there  should  be  the  greatest 
practicable  freedom  of  the  individual  in  teaching  and  research,  together  with 
publicity  of  results.  Subdivision  of  the  field  covered  by  the  department, 
organization  and  assignment  of  work  would  be  done  in  staff  conference. 
Publicity  r^arding  the  number  of  elective  students,  percentage  of  students 
passed  and  failed,  average  grades  given,  research  work  accomplished,  and  so 
forth,  would  furnish  opportunity  for  comparison,  friendly  rivalry,  self- 
criticism  and  improvement  of  the  work  of  each  teacher.  The  first  step  to- 
ward improvement  of  organization  of  state  universities  would  be  the  organ- 
ization of  department  staffs  to  bear  the  responsibilities  and  to  direct  the 
work  of  the  department  through  an  elected  chairman.  The  second  step 
would  be  the  gradual  combination  of  smaller  into  larger  departments. 

The  next  important  step  would  be  the  breaking  down  of  the  boundaries 
between  colleges  on  the  side  of  teaching  and  investigation,  making  each 
student  perfectly  free  to  study  where  and  what  he  will,  subject  only  to 
the  regulations  of  departments  and  to  the  means  of  gaining  his  own  ends. 
Some  present  schools  and  colleges  would  take  again  their  proper  places  as 
departments,  the  others  would  be  dissolved. 

So  far  as  the  present  colleges  serve  a  useful  purpose,  their  place  would 
be  taken  by  faculties  for  the  supervision  of  professional  and  degree  courses. 
Each  such  faculty  should  be  made  up  of  representatives  of  all  departments 
which  may  offer  work  toward  the  given  degree,  such  representatives  to  act 
under  instructions  from  the  staffs  of  their  respective  departments.  These 
faculties  should  prescribe  requirements  for  entrance  and  for  graduation,  but 
should  have  no  control  of  finances  or  of  appointments.  They  should  exer- 
cise only  an  advisory  function  in  regard  to  the  election  of  studies  or  the 
student's  use  of  his  time.  Any  faculty  might,  if  it  was  deemed  advisable, 
prescribe  final  examinations  over  the  whole  course  of  study,  or  the  pre- 
sentation of  a  thesis,  and  so  forth.  Thus  we  should  have  an  A.B.  faculty, 
an  IX.B.  faculty,  an  M.D.  faculty,  and  so  on,  each  safeguarding  the  tradi- 
tions which  surround  its  degree  or  the  standards  which  should  be  upheld 
in  the  profession,  but  each  giving  full  opportunity  to  the  various  departments 
to  place  before  the  student  new  materials,  methods  and  ideals ;  and  giving 
to  the  student  opportunity  to  try  his  powers  and  extend  his  acquaintance 
beyond  the  usual  limits  laid  down  by  the  traditions  of  his  degree  or  his  chosen 
profession.    This  mode  of  organization  would  also  make  it  as  easy  as  pos-

sible  for  the  student  to  change  his  course  in  case  he  found  that  his  choice 
of  a  profession  was  unsuited  to  his  individual  talents. 

In  such  an  organization  the  university  senate  might  have  somewhat 
enlarged  powers  and  more  detailed  duties.  The  administrative  functions 
now  exercised  by  the  faculties  and  deans  of  colleges  would  in  part  vanish, 
in  larger  part  be  transferred  to  the  several  departmental  staffs  and  in  part 
devolve  upon  the  senate  either  in  the  first  instance  or  through  reference 
from  departments.  The  senate  would  continue  to  be  a  court  of  appeal  in 
cases  of  dispute  between  faculties  or  departments.  The  establishment  of 
new  degrees  or  degree-courses  would  require  action  of  the  senate,  and 
sweeping  changes  in  any  curriculum  or  the  membership  of  any  faculty 
should  have  the  approval  of  the  senate.  For  example,  the  university  could 
not  establish  a  new  school  of  naval  architecture  or  of  mental  healing  or  of 
colonial  administration,  each  leading  to  its  special  degree,  without  the 
sanction  of  a  body  representing  the  whole  university.  Neither  could  the 
faculty  of  arts  radically  change  the  character  of  the  course  leading  to  the 
A.B.  degree,  either  by  the  ingestion  or  the  extrusion  of  a  large  group  of 
departments,  without  such  action  being  subject  to  review  by  the  university 
senate.  More  need  not  be  said  on  this  phase  of  the  subject.  It  seems  clear 
that  with  the  greater  freedom  of  action  on  the  part  of  students  and  de- 
partments, with  special  faculties  laying  down  regulations  for  the  various 
(iegree-courses,  with  the  elimination  of  rivalries  and  strife  growing  directly 
out  of  the  organization  by  colleges,  the  problems  of  internal  correlation  and 
control  would  be  greatly  simplified  and  could  readily  be  cared  for  in  a  senate 
organized  very  much  as  ours  is  at  present. 

Simplification  in  university  work  and  administration  is  the  crying  need 
next  to  independence  and  responsibility  of  the  members  of  the  faculty.  The 
endless  red  tape  of  business  administration  could  be  largely  done  away  with 
by  the  logical  completion  of  the  budget  system.  The  budget  having  been 
made  by  the  governing  board,  each  department  should  be  perfectly  free  to 
expend  its  own  quota  of  funds  by  vote  of  its  staff  without  supervision  or 
approval  of  anybody — and  should  be  held  responsible  for  the  results  se- 
cured from  year  to  year.  Nobody  can  know  so  well  how  money  should  be 
expended  as  the  staff  who  are  to  use  the  things  purchased,  no  one  knows 
so  well  where  to  get  things  or  how  to  get  them  promptly  when  needed, 
none  feels  so  directly  and  keenly  the  effects  of  misuse  of  money,  none  will 
so  carefully  guard  its  resources  as  the  department  itself.  The  dangers  of 
duplication  will  be  set  aside  by  the  better  correlation  of  departments  already 
suggested.  In  establishing  common  storerooms,  purchasing  agents  and  the 
like,  the  first  and  chief  step  should  be  to  ask  of  the  members  of  the  staff 
throughout  the  university,  how  can  the  administration  help  you  in  your 
work  through  such  agencies  as  these,  instead  of  thinking  how  these  agencies 
can  remove  from  the  departments  the  ultimate  control  of  their  work.  Time 
and  money  may  be  wasted  at  a  frightful  rate  through  fear  to  place  respon- 
sibility and  confidence  where  they  belong — a  fear  which  is  well-founded 
on  our  present  system  of  irresponsible  heads  of  departments.

1914]  UNIVERSITY  ORGANIZATION  29 

Simplification  in  the  administration  of  teaching  would  be  favored  by 
the  dissolution  of  the  colleges  and  the  setting  free  of  the  elective  system 
under  a  few  simple  regulations  as  to  the  combination  of  elementary  and 
advanced  courses  and  of  major  and  cognate  work  which  would  be  neces- 
sary for  an  academic  degree,  and  as  to  the  prescribed  curriculum  in  a  pro- 
fessional course.  What  is  needed  is  fewer  regulations  and  better  teaching ; 
fewer  snap  courses,  fewer  substitutions  and  special  dispensations ;  less  care 
for  the  poor  student  and  more  food  for  the  good  student ;  less  interest  in 
sending  forth  graduates  and  more  measuring  up  of  students  against  stand- 
ards of  honesty,  industry  and  self-judgment. 

Finally,  the  presidency.  Shall  the  president  be  elected  by  the  faculty  ? 
Shall  his  actions  be  subject  to  review  by  the  senate?  Shall  he  have  a  veto 
power  over  the  senate?  Shall  his  duties  be  limited  to  those  of  a  gentleman, 
orator  and  representative  of  university  culture,  or  to  those  of  the  business 
agent  and  manager?  The  discussion  of  these  questions  seems  to  the  writer 
to  be  of  minor  importance.  With  such  a  governing  board  and  such  an 
internal  organization  as  has  been  briefly  outlined,  it  can  scarcely  be  doubted 
that  the  president  will  be  representative  of  his  faculty  or  that  he  could  se- 
cure intelligent  action  from  the  board.  Nor  would  it  be  difficult  for  the 
president  to  be  a  leader  in  whatever  ways  he  was  fitted  for  leadership  or 
in  whatever  matters  leadership  was  required.  It  seems  to  me  that  the  presi- 
dency should  be  controlled  by  imwritten  rather  than  by  written  laws.  What 
is  essential  is  that  the  university  have  a  strong  executive;  stroi^  in  the 
discovery  and  application  of  right  principles,  strong  in  his  reliance  upon  the 
consent  and  the  support  of  the  governed  and  strong  in  the  execution  of 
their  ideals.  The  remedy  for  our  evils  is  not  to  object  to  a  strong  executive, 
but  to  remove  the  necessity  for  an  arbitrary  executive ;  not  to  cry  out  for 
anarchy,  but  to  introduce  self-government. 

Allow  me  to  recapitulate.  Our  universities  are  laboring  under  a  bureau- 
cratic form  of  government  in  which  the  initiative  rests  chiefly  with  the 
heads  of  departments,  in  which  there  is  a  constant  struggle  for  power 
among  the  bureau  heads,  in  which  these  same  heads  are  the  chief  source  of 
information  and  advice  to  the  executive,  in  which  most  of  the  faculty  have 
no  voice  in  framing  policies,  and  in  which  — at  its  worst — the  student  is 
concerned  only  to  be  counted  and  the  public  only  to  be  milked.  The  ex- 
treme of  degradation  is  reached  when  research  is  wholly  neglected  and 
teaching  is  regarded  as  only  the  excuse  for  material  aggrandizement.  The 
bad  state  of  aff^airs  which  we  see  every  now  and  then  in  this  or  that  de- 
partment or  college  in  all  our  universities  cannot  be  regarded  as  the  free 
choice  of  any  average  group  of  men.  I  cannot  conceive  of  any  of  these 
things  being  voted  by  members  of  a  staff.  These  conditions  are  the  result 
of  arbitrary  power  placed  in  the  hands  of  single  men  without  check  or 
publicity.  Such  a  system  always  breeds  dishonesty  and  crime.  The  remedy 
is  to  recognize  the  primary  interest  of  every  member  of  the  staff  and  to 
establish  representative  government  in  the  university.  On  the  whole  and 
in  the  long  run  the  combined  judgment  of  the  members  of  the  staff  of  any 
department  is  sufe  to  be  better  than  that  of  any  individual.     Self-govern-

ment  stimulates  individual  initiative  and  calls  forth  ideas  for  the  common 
good.  The  enjoyment  of  freedom  and  responsibility  will  make  of  our 
faculty  morally  strong  and  practically  efficient  men,  and  will  call  into  the 
profession  capable  men,  men  robust  in  intellect  and  imagination,  instead  of 
the  weaklings  who  now  barter  their  souls  for  shelter  from  the  perils  of  a 
competitive  business  world. 

It  may  be  true  in  a  legal  sense  that  the  state  through  the  board  of 
regents  now  hires  the  members  of  the  university  faculty.  But  men  to  do 
university  work  cannot  be  hired.  Those  of  the  faculties  who  now  do 
university  work  do  it  not  because  they  are  paid  living  wages,  but  because 
they  love  the  work.  It  has  been  one  oif  the  great  fallacies  of  human  history 
to  suppose  that  workmen  can  be  hired.  When  you  hire  or  enslave  a  man 
you  secure  only  mechanical  service.  The  world's  work  cannot  be  done  by 
hired  muscle  alone,  but  requires  personal  interest,  moral  character  and 
entire  manhood.  Slaves  survive  in  their  pyramids,  their  temples  and  their 
papyri,  where  their  masters  have  perished.  The  successful  and  progressive 
civilizations  of  today  are  founded  on  the  freedom  and  self-satisfaction  of 
the  individual.  The  most  acute  problems  of  modem  society  arise  out  of 
the  hiring  of  men  to  do  work  which  they  would  much  prefer  to  do  for 
themselves  and  would  do  better  for  themselves.  These  things  bear  their 
lessons  for  universities,  if  we  will  heed  them.  Freedom  of  speech  and 
complete  self  government  are  necessary  to  the  best  interests  of  a  university. 
A  whole  staff  is  together  more  capable  than  any  one  man.  Suppression  of 
staff  members  who  speak  without  authority  of  the  head  is  the  suppression 
of  truth  and  initiative.  It  has  resulted  and  must  result  in  the  selection  of 
weak  men  for  the  faculty  and  in  narrowness,  bigotry  and  provincialism  in 
the  institution.  Self-government  will  draw  strong  men  into  the  faculty, 
will  stimulate  initiative,  will  make  possible  and  encourage  progressive  ad- 
ministration, and  will  brii^  to  mental  endeavor  on  the  part  of  both  student 
and  teacher  the  freshness  of  the  morning  air,  the  pursuit  of  a  goal  of  one's 
own  choosii^,  and  satisfaction  in  the  achievement  of  one's  ideals.

I0I.1]  BACK  FROM  THE  WAR  ZONE  31 

BACK  FROM  THE  WAR  ZONE 

Many  members  of  the  Faculty  of  the  University  found  themselves 
within  the  zone  of  war  in  Europe  on  August  i  when  hostilities  commenced. 
Though  many  of  them  bring  back  interesting  stories  of  their  experiences, 
there  were  few  who  were  seriously  inconvenienced.  Many,  however,  found 
difficulty  in  obtaining  ready  cash,  and  in  some  cases  had  to  accept  steerage 
passage  home.  Below  we  print  the  impressions  of  a  few  members  of  the 
Faculty  on  their  summer  experiences. 

Among  those  who  were  caught  abroad  was  Eh*.  Reuben  Peterson, 
who  had  attended  a  convention  of  medical  men  in  his  specialty  in 
Germany.  One  of  the  interesting  facts  of  his  stay  was  the  urgent 
warning  which  he  received  some  time  before  hostilities  commenced 
from  some  of  his  medical  confreres  in  Germany.  Professor  H.  P. 
Thieme,  of  the  Department  of  French,  who  spent  last  year  in  Paris,  was 
particularly  impressed  by  the  unrest  throughout  the  year  in  France  which 
was  quite  perceptible  as  soon  as  one  came  into  intimate  contact  with  the 
French  people.  Everywhere  an  impression  that  war  was  impending  was 
evident,  and  there  was  also  an  obvious  endeavor  to  enlist  the  sympathies 
of  English-speaking  people.  Not  in  the  least  interesting  of  the  phenomena 
of  this  period  was  an  evident  German  propaganda  carried  on  in  Paris  dur- 
ing the  year,  not  only  in  business  but  in  literature,  art  and  music,  endured, 
but  not  welcomed  by  the  true  Frenchman. 

Professor  Thieme  was  in  I.ucerne  with  his  family  when  the  war  broke 
out,  but  was  able  to  reach  Paris  in  time  to  obtain  a  comfortable  passage 
home.  Professor  F.  N.  Scott,  who  left  Ann  Arbor  early  in  the  summer, 
was  in  Germany  at  the  outbreak  of  the  war,  and  returned  early  in  October. 
Professor  A.  A.  Stanley  spent  practically  the  whole  of  the  summer  in 
England  and  Scotland.  Professor  C.  H.  Van  Tyne,  who  spent  last  year 
in  France  as  one  of  the  associate  lecturers  of  the  American  Foundation, 
corroborates  Professor  Thieme*s  impressions.  Professor  John  O.  Reed, 
who  has  been  living  abroad  on  account  of  ill  health  for  the  past  two  years, 
was  in  Germany  at  the  time  the  war  broke  out.  He  and  Mrs.  Reed  have 
remained,  and  are  now  in  Jena.  Mr.  Rene  Talamon,  instructor  in  French, 
who  was  spending  his  honeymoon  this  summer  in  France,  was  called  to  the 
front,  and  is  now  sous  les  drapeaux. 

Other  members  of  the  Faculty  who  returned, with  interesting  accounts 
of  their  experiences  are  Registrar  A.  G.  Hall,  Professor  W.  H.  Butts, 
Assistant  Dean  in  the  Department  of  Engineering,  Professor  J.  P.  Bird, 
Secretary  of  the  Department  of  Engineering,  Dr.  F.  C.  Newcombe,  Pro- 
fessor of  Botany,  Professor  and  Mrs.  J.  F.  Winter  of  the  Department  of 
Greek,  H.  R.  Cross,  Professor  of  Fine  Arts,  E.  R.  Turner,  Professor  of 
History  and  Mr.  F.  E.  Robbins  of  the  Department  of  Greek.  Professor  Wil- 
liam D.  Henderson,  of  the  Department  of  Physics  and  Mrs.  Henderson,  and 
Dr.  Elsie  Seelye  Pratt,  of  the  University  Health  Service. 

Professor  Anton  Friedrich  Greiner,  of  the  Engineering  Department, 
who  is  still  a  German  citizen,  was  at  his  home  in  Germany  at  the  outbreak

of  the  war.  He  was  fortunate  in  being  able  to  secure  passage  on  the 
Kaiser  Wilhelm,  which  reached  New  York  after  an  exciting  chase  by 
English  and  French  cruisers.  While  German  citizens  holding  permanent 
positions  in  this  country  may  not  be  pressed  into  service,  it  is  possible  that 
if  he  had  not  been  able  to  leave,  he  would  have  been  called  upon  to  serve 
in  the  army. 

A  number  of  students  were  touring  through  Europe,  but  were  able 
to  reach  home  without  any  serious  trouble.  Bruce  D.  Bromley,  Pontiac, 
'14,  with  Edwin  C.  Wilson,  '15,  Detroit,  had  just  completed  a  bicycle  trip 
through  Belgium  and  Holland  when  war  was  declared,  but  succeeded  in 
reaching  Paris,  and  securing  passage.  H.  Beach  Carpenter,  '14,  *i6/, 
Rockford,  111.,  and  Morris  A.  Milligan,  '14,  Bradford,  Pa.,  were  in  London. 
A  party  composed  of  Carlton  H.  Jenks,  '15,  Port  Huron,  Wilbur  S.  David- 
son, '15,  Port  Huron,  Howard  M.  Warner,  '16,  Farmington,  and  West- 
cott  T.  Smith,  'i^e,  Port  Huron,  who  were  touring  Europe  on  their  wheels, 
had  perhaps  the  most  interesting  experience.  They  were  in  northern  France 
when  the  war  began,  and  found  themselves  in  danger  of  being  held  in 
France  while  the  mobilization  of  the  French  army  was  proceeding,  with 
the  danger  also  that  they  might  be  suspected  of  being  spies.  Retracing  their 
steps,  they  were  able  to  purchase  in  one  of  the  larger  towns,  four  American 
flags,  which  they  strapped  to  their  handle  bars,  and  after  several  curious 
experiences,  succeeded  in  clearing  the  danger  zone.  Among  other  students 
abroad  were  John  T.  Naylon,  15^,  Detroit,  and  Francis  T.  Russell,  '15, 
Grand  Rapids,  who  was  traveling  through  Europe  on  his  motor  cycle. 

Paul  Scott  Mowrer,  'o5-'o8,  has  been  appointed  London  correspondent 
for  the  Chicago  Daily  Nezvs,  going  to  London  from  Paris,  where  he  has 
been  the  French  correspondent.  Mr.  Mowrer  had  considerable  experience 
during  the  Balkan  war,  when  he  reported  events  at  the  front. 

Professor  Morris  P.  Tilley,  of  the  English  Department,  had  made  all 
preparations  to  leave  for  Europe  when  war  was  declared,  having  obtained 
leave  of  absence  for  the  present  year.  He  now  plans  to  spend  the  year  in 
the  east,  doing  research  work  in  the  Hbraries  there. 

SOME  PERSONAL   EXPERIENCES 

Professor  James  P.  Bird 

Note,  The  following  article  was  written  by  Professor  Bird  while  en 
route  home,  and  was  published  in  The  Detroit  Saturday  Night  for  Septem- 
ber 12.  He  was  a  member  of  a  party  of  twelve  who  found  themselves 
at  Lucerne,  Switzerland,  at  the  outbreak  of  the  war.  They  left  August  11, 
traveling  through  France,  and  spent  a  fortnight  in  England  and  Scotland 
before  they  sailed  for  Montreal. 

Three  days  out  on  the  North  Atlantic,  with  a  sea  too  calm  to  be  interest- 
ing even  to  the  most  sensitive,  and  with  only  a  very  limited  number  of  Ger- 
man dreadnoughts  stationed  along  the  skyline,  wars  and  rumors  of  wars 
eliminated  by  a  censored  wireless,  it  is  difficult  indeed  to  realize  that  the 
European  nightmare  is  a  reality,  in  spite  of  what  our  eyes  have  seen  from 
one  end  to  the  other  of  three  nations  in  the  throes  of  a  world  war.

When  the  storm  broke,  we  had  just  reached  Lucerne  from  Italy,  where 
apparently  such  a  thing  as  a  general  conflict  was  not  even  dreamed  of. 
Also  at  Lucerne,  tickets  were  sold  on  August  i  to  Amsterdam  via  Heidel- 
berg or  Strassburg.  On  August  2  the  way  was  closed.  It  is  very  significant 
that  on  July  2J  German  officers  attending,  for  example,  the  summer  session 
at  the  University  of  Neuchatel,  and  presiunably  at  other  Swiss  and  at 
French  institutions,  were  ordered  home  at  the  beginning  of  a  veiled  mo- 
bilization. 

(This  was  three  days  before  Germany  called  on  Russia  to  stop  fnobilis- 
ing,  and  four  days  before  she  broke  off  diplomatic  relations. — The  Editor.) 

Switzerland  has  been  called  the  nation  without  a  language,  a  navy  or 
an  army.  A  week  sufficed  to  place  in  the  field  practically  every  able-bodied 
man,  fully  equipped  from  tip  to  toe.  Every  corner,  every  gateway,  every 
public  building  of  Berne  had  its  soldier  with  bayonet  set.  Through  all  the 
principal  streets,  by  night  or  day,  was  heard  the  measured  tread  of  cwn- 
pany  after  company,  off  for  the  frontier  accompanied  by  army  trains  with 
artillery  and  stores,  leaving  only  the  brave  though  tearful  women,  the  child- 
ren and  the  aged  to  bring  in  the  crops  and  attend  to  the  business  of  life. 

Business,  for  the  most  part,  was  at  a  standstill.  All  available  money 
was  needed  by  the  state,  so  that  American  travelers'  checks  could  not  be 
cashed  imder  any  circumstance.  Neither  would  the  suspicious  storekeeper 
accept  a  check  for  merchandise.  The  only  Swiss  with  faith  undaunted  was 
the  innkeeper,  who  would  not  see  us  starve  and  took  our  checks  rather  than 
nothing. 

The  American  consul's  office,  with  two  loquacious  assistants,  was  the 
busiest  place  in  town.  The  invariable  advice  given  was,  "Stay  where  you 
are;  it  is  dangerous  to  leave;  the  government  is  making  plans."  We  stayed 
at  Berne  six  days  while  the  mobilization  was  going  on,  then  the  evening  of 
August  1 1  we  decided  it  was  get  out  then  or  stay  all  winter,  so,  armed  with 
passports,  at  6  the  next  morning  we  started  our  invasion  of  France  via 
Geneva,  the  only  way  open. 

We  crossed  the  border  at  Belgarde,  where  one  poor  fellow  who  had 
left  his  passport  at  the  hotel,  12  hours  away,  was  sent  sorrowfully  back. 
The  next  day  the  track  we  had  just  come  over  was  reported  torn  up  for 
se\'eral  miles,  while  we  continued  on  our  long  journey  of  39  hours  to  Paris, 
a  trip  ordinarily  made  in  12.  All  the  trains  of  Europe  were  under  govern- 
ment control,  and  ordinary  passengers  liable  to  be  set  down  at  any  time  to 
make  room  for  soldiers.  No  merchandise  of  any  kind  was  shipped  for 
weeks.  Fortunately  for  us,  the  mobilization  for  the  moment  was  north- 
ward, and  our  greatest  inconvenience  was  the  necessity  of  long  stops  for 
orders  at  every  station.  Added  to  the  uncertainty  of  continuing  our  jour- 
ney was  the  excitement  of  scores  of  trains  rushing  toward  the  Alsatian 
frontier,  a  whole  train  of  artillery,  for  example,  then  a  train  of  cavalry, 
eight  horses,  four  abreast,  facing  each  other  in  each  tiny  four-wheeled  box 
car,  the  men  on  the  straw  between  them. 

A  most  interesting  thing  was  to  see  the  trains  of  wagons  and  autos  of 
every  description  hurrying  to  the  front.    Autos  which  were  not  offered  were

seized,  autobusses  and  delivery  trucks  by  the  hundred  from  the  great  grocery 
and  dry  goods  firms  of  Paris  were  loaded  on  promiscuously. 

At  Dijon  we  saw  a  large  detachment  of  Algerian  zouaves,  varying  in 
complexion  from  a  deep  tan  to  a  Higgins  eternal  shade  of  black,  imported 
from  Africa  to  lend  their  aid,  unwilling  aid,  it  would  seem,  to  the  cause  of 
their  adoptive  country.  A  somewhat  parallel  case  would  be  the  importation 
of  Filipino  troops  to  fight  with  ours  in  an  imaginary  struggle  against 
Canada. 

We  reached  Paris  late  at  night,  no  longer  gay  Paris,  but  terribly 
desolate;  no  taxis  at  the  station,  no  street  car,  no  autobus  running,  the 
metro  service  interrupted  since  7  p.  m.,  and  all  restaurants  and  cafes  closed 
at  the  same  hour.  Paris  was  verily  deserted,  the  majority  of  the  stores 
closed ;  as  in  Switzerland,  all  able-bodied  men  between  the  ages  of  19  and 
47  either  gone  or  going  in  a  day  or  two. 

Can  one  imagine  the  grand  boulevards  at  Paris  hopelessly  deserted  be- 
fore 10  p.  m.,  the  hour  when  they  are  usually  just  beginning  to  teem  with 
reckless  pleasure  seekers?  On  the  Rue  de  Rivoli,  one  of  the  busiest  thor- 
oughfares, at  9  o'clock  there  was  not  a  vehicle  and  hardly  a  person  to  be 
seen.  This  outward  calm  was  indicative  of  the  feeling  generally  noted. 
The  temper  of  the  great  city  was  wonderfully  even.  Those  who  had  gone, 
had  gone  with  joy,  but  with  no  levity,  and  those  who  remained  were  fully 
conscious  of  the  terrible  situation.  On  all  sides  one  heard,  "The  struggle 
may  be  long,  but  in  the  end  we  shall  utterly  crush  them."  Reports  of  vio- 
lence and  rioting  in  the  French  capital  were  absolutely  without  truth  or 
foundation.  Paris  was  as  one  from  the  Faubourg  St.  Antoine  to  the  Pal- 
ace of  the  Elysees. 

The  French  people,  as  the  English  people,  believe  that  they  are  fighting 
for  self-preservation;  that  the  only  hope  for  final  peace  in  Europe  is  the 
annihilation  of  the  military  power  of  Prussia,  and  they  are  willing  and  eager 
to  give  their  lives  if  need  be  for  the  future  of  Europe. 

The  awful  fact  of  a  general  conflict  came  home  to  us  fully  at  Boulogne 
while  waiting  for  a  boat  to  England.  The  first  British  troops  were  arriving 
that  night,  and  for  hours  the  splendid  fellows  marched  by  our  hotel ;  infantry 
and  artillery,  Scots  in  their  kilts  with  bagpipes  playing,  the  English  in 
khaki,  with  fife  and  drum,  and  bugle  corps. 

The  reception  they  had  from  the  French  was  a  rousing  one,  hand 
clasps  exchanged  as  they  hurried  on,  words  of  good  cheer  in  a  foreign 
toi^ue,  from  the  crowds  along  the  line  of  march,  while  now  and  then  one 
braver  than  the  rest  would  seize  and  greet  a  cheering  maiden  with  a  re- 
sounding smack.  We  were  thrilled  through  and  through  as  we  thought  of 
these  thousands  going  to  fight  in  company  with  foreigners  on  foreign  soil 
against  a  common  foe;  going  gladly  and  singing  as  they  marched  along, 
**It's  a  long,  long  way  to  Tipperary." 

Here  was  visible  none  of  the  grim  determination  seen  on  the  faces  and 
heard  in  the  voices  of  the  Swiss  and  French.  At  Berne,  for  example,  two  or 
three  of  us  about  to  cross  a  square  where  army  wagons  were  standing, 
were  met  by  a  levelled  bayonet.

**Woiild  yon  run  me  through  if  I  passed  ?*'  said  I  with  a  smile. 

*'Ja  Wohl/'  was  the  stout  reply,  with  never  a  smile.  Needless  to  say, 
we  didn't  pass. 

But  beyond  the  gay  exterior  of  the  English  lads  and  of  the  bonnie 
Scots,  no  doubt  was  found  the  same  determination  and  the  same  or  a  greater 
bravery  and  daring. 

And  when  we  came  to  England  we  found,  in  high  places  and  in  low,  a 
wonderful  display  of  resolution  to  do  or  die. 

The  world  knows  how  loyally  the  men  of  Britain,  from  Inverness  to 
Land's  End,  responded  to  the  call  to  arms.  Also  the  territorials,  the  local 
militia,  thrilled  with  the  same  spirit,  many — too  many  of  them — men  with 
wives  and  little  children,  are  volunteering. 

Just  one  example:  In  old  Bannockbum,  out  of  400  territorials  384 
have  left  their  all  of  their  own  free  will  for  their  love  of  the  Empire  and 
their  king.  The  same,  no  doubt,  is  true  throughout  the  United  Kingdom. 
They,  with  the  French,  have  come  to  feel  that  the  .whole  civilized  world 
has  a  common  enemy  in  the  present  policy  of  Germany,  and  that  the  future 
peace  of  Europe  can  be  purchased  only  at  the  price  of  thousands  and  tens 
of  thousands  of  precious  lives.  Whatever  way  one's  sympathies  may  ex- 
tend, he  is  overwhelmed  by  the  patriotism  and  bravery  of  these  splendid 
fellows,  who  dare  to  die  that  liberty  may  live. 

Professor  C  H.  Van  Tyne 

Like  an  obedient  slave  of  the  lamp  when  the  editor  of  The  Alumnus 
commands,  I  hear  and  obey.  He  says  I  am  a  refugee,  and  must  tell  such  of 
my  experiences  as  will  throw  light  on  the  present  war  problem.  The 
most  vivid  of  my  impressions  on  escaping  from  war-torn  Europe  is  the 
sense  of  relief  from  the  terrible  depression  which  hangs  over  one  even  in 
England.  There  you  cannot  escape  the  awful  fascination  of  it.  In  London 
the  newsboys  din  it  in  your  ears.  At  night  the  seach  lights  sweep  the  skies 
in  search  for  Zeppelins  and  aeroplanes.  On  every  square  and  in  every 
park  the  new  recruits  are  being  drilled.  Take  an  express  from  London  to 
the  sea,  and  you  will  be  hurried  past  camp  after  camp,  where  cavalry  and 
artillery  go  through  ceaseless  evolutions.  If  you  enter  prohibited  areas 
you  must  show  your  alien  papers.  Even  the  magic  word  American  does 
not  save  you.  At  the  seaside  you  see  the  transports  gather  in  the 
evening,  chaperoned  by  a  destroyer  or  a  submarine  and  in  the  morning  they 
have  flown.  In  a  few  days  the  red  cross  ships  begin  to  come  in  and  then 
the  papers  give  out  the  thrilling  stories  told  by  the  wounded  soldiers  in 
the  hospitals.  At  night  the  harbor  is  swept  by  the  ominous  rays  of  the 
search  lights.  Rimior  too  is  always  busy  with  stories  of  mines  sown  just 
off  the  harbor,  of  the  periscope  of  a  German  submarine  seen  by  a  fishing 
boat,  or  of  a  Zeppelin  preying  upon  ships  in  the  channel.  There  is  no  escape, 
no  respite.  You  read,  think,  dream  war,  and  the  sense  of  depression  grows 
from  day  to  day.  All  the  horrors  of  it  are  not  150  miles  from  you  and  the 
spirits  are  weighed  down  by  its  proximity. 

The  chief  thing  that  my  personal  experience  in  Europe  during  this  last 
year  enables  me  to  say  about  the  war  is  that  it  was  brooding  over  Europe

every  moment  of  that  time.  When  I  first  arrived,  the  French  and  German 
papers  were  bitterly  attacking  each  other  on  the  subject  of  the  French 
"foreign  legion."  France  was  accused  of  abusing  the  German  soldiers  in 
it,  and  French  papers  indignantly  denied 'every  allegation.  Then  came  the 
indiscreet  speech  of  the  Greek  king,  ascribing  Greek  military  success  to 
German  training.  As  French  officers  had  trained  them,  the  Gallic  press  was 
in  a  rage,  and  the  German  journals  aroused  and  taunted  it  as  they  well 
knew  how.  Then  came  the  Saveme  affair  in  Alsace-Lorraine,  and  nation- 
al hate  was  displayed  to  its  utmost.  Then  a  German  paper  accused  Russia 
of  hastening  its  preparation  for  war,  which  Russian  papers  denied,  and 
French  papers  criticized  the  German  war  mania.  Threats  and  menaces  were 
hurled  back  and  forth  across  the  borders,  and  an  outsider  could  see  that 
international  nerves  were  at  a  very  high  tension.  And  yet  men  went  on 
hugging  that  old  delusion  that  peace  was  secure  because  of  the  great  arma- 
ments, and  because  the  interlacing  of  industrial,  economic  and  financial 
bonds  made  war  unthinkable!  Yet  all  that  was  needed  was  the  murder  of 
the  Grand  Duke,  the. insane  folly  of  Austria,  a  War  Lord  too  arrogant  to 
exercise  the  necessary  international  amenities,  and  the  world  was  in  the 
midst  of  the  supreme  tragedy  of  all  the  ages. 

A  year  in  France  convinced  me  that  Frenchmen  did  not  want  war. 
While  giving  the  Harvard  Foimdation  lectures  in  the  French  provincial 
universities,  I  visited  nearly  every  part  of  France.  I  talked  not  only  with 
academic  men,  but  with  shopkeepers,  workmen,  with  everybody  who  would 
listen  to  my  wretched  French,  and  the  universal  answer  to  my  query  as  to 
whether  France  wished  a  war  of  revenge  for  the  loss  of  Alsace-Lorraine 
was  "No."  The  only  reservation  was  that  if  France  should  be  dragged  into 
war  the  lost  provinces  must  be  regained.  Newspaper  and  periodicaJ  litera- 
ture revealed  the  same  attitude.  War  was  too  dreadful  to  be  ventured  upon 
for  revenge  and  after  all  a  nation  cannot  live  to  avenge  the  wrongs  of  a 
former  generation.  The  universal  desire  was  for  peace,  for  disarmament 
if  possible,  since  the  burden  of  preparation  for  war  was  becoming  unbear- 
able in  France.  In  fact,  I  am  convinced  that  if  war  was  inevitable  in  the 
near  future  it  was  the  greatest  fortune  for  France  that  it  came  just  at  the 
moment  when  her  efforts  had  reached  the  maximum,  before  she  was  com- 
pelled by  sheer  economic  exhaustion  to  abandon  the  race  for  military  super- 
iority. 

The  returning  traveller  feels  more  than  ever  the  blessing  of  being  an 
American.  Complain  as  we  will  of  taxation,  we  know  nothing  of  its  burdens. 
No  war  cloud  hangs  in  our  sun-lit  skies.  Such  enemies  as  we  have  are  too 
remote  to  touch  our  imaginations.  Neither  grinding  taxes,  nor  sickening 
fear,  nor  consuming  hate  stain  the  pure  happiness  of  American  life. 

Professor  William  H.  Butts 

The  story  of  a  quiet  trip  to  France  and  Spain  on  the  eve  of  war,  the 
rude  shock  of  nations  and  the  panic  of  the  first  month  of  hostilities  are  not 
easily  described  in  a  few  words.  The  only  suggestion  of  war  on  the  steamer 
New  York  on  her  trip  to  Cherbourg  was  the  unloading  of  three  millions 
O'f  American  gold  and  two  millions  of  silver  to  enrich  the  war  chest  of

France.  While  driving  to  our  hotel  in  Paris  we  saw  a  beautiful  French 
dirigible  floating  gracefully  over  the  city  in  the  morning  mist  but  we  thought 
of  art  and  beauty,  not  of  war.  Monoplanes  and  biplanes,  seen  at  Chartres 
and  in  the  Chateaux  region  along  the  Loire,  only  aroused  wonder  and  ad- 
miration. The  chateaux  at  Blois,  Chambord,  Chenonceau,  Amboise  and 
Tours  recalled  the  conflicts  of  knights  and  kings  but  did  not  suggest  prepara- 
tions to  resist  modem  guns  and  explosives  dropped  from  heaven.  Even  in 
this  garden-spot  of  France  along  the  Loire,  with  its  bountiful  harvests  and 
fruitful  vines,  everyone  complained  of  excessive  taxes  and  prayed  for  the 
return  of  their  soldier  boys  to  the  farm  and  the  home.  Nowhere  in  France, 
not  even  in  Paris,  did  we  hear  the  cry  "On  to  Strassburg!"  The  govern- 
ment and  the  people  apparently  had  no  desire  for  war.  Stopping  a  day  at 
Bordeaux,  we  were  surprised  to  find  a  wonderfif!  port  of  entry  and  a  most 
prosperous  city,  very  much  like  Hamburg  in  Germany.  We  little  thought 
that  within  a  month  this  home  of  the  Girondins  would  be  the  capital  of  France 
and  the  depository  of  all  the  gold  of  the  Paris  banks.  With  its  modern 
forts  and  its  harbor  filled  with  ships,  it  is  an  ideal  place  of  refuge. 

After  stopping  a  day  at  Biarritz,  the  premier  bathing  beach  of  France, 
we  wound  our  way  into  the  Pyrenees,  along  a  rushing  river  to  the  city  of 
Lourdes,  surpassing  in  its  climate  and  beautiful  setting  any  city  in  the 
lower  Alps.  The  first  evening  we  saw  a  procession  of  five  thousand  French 
pilgrims  carrying  long  candles  and  chanting  as  they  mounted  the  long, 
winding  terrace  to  the  basilica  and  descended  to  the  beautiful  statue  of  the 
Madonna  of  Lourdes  resplendent  with  electric  lights.  With  a  star-spangled 
background  and  a  gigantic  cross  on  the  mountain  outlined  with  powerful 
electric  lights,  the  scene  was  one  never  to  be  forgotten.  The  second  night 
two  thousand  German  pilgrims  formed  a  similar  procession,  chanting  in 
Latin  and  singing  in  German.  More  reserved  and  dignified  in  their  move- 
ments but  not  so  light  hearted,  they  were  Teutonic  and  not  Celtic  even  in 
religious  rites.  All  drank  the  healing  waters  and  made  their  act  of  contri- 
tion in  the  same  sacred  stream  but  the  miraculous  cure  of  warring  souls 
was  not  to  be  accomplished. 

Our  month  in  Spain  from  San  Sebastian  through  Burgos  and  Madrid 
to  Granada  and  back  through  Valencia  to  Barcelona  was  a  continuous 
panorama  of  Spanish  and  Moorish  art  and  life.  We  enjoyed  the  beach 
and  sea  food  at  San  Sebastian,  were  overpowered  by  the  grandeur  of  the 
Burgos  cathedral  and  greatly  instructed  by  studying  the  wonderful  Roman 
aqueduct  at  Segovia.  In  Madrid  the  Prado  art  gallery  impressed  us  more 
than  the  louvre  or  any  Italian  gallery.  The  grouping  of  the  masterpieces 
of  Murillo,  Velasquez,  Goya  and  Titian  has  no  equal.  This  one  gallery  is 
worth  a  trip  to  Spain.  The  bull  fight  in  Madrid  on  a  Sunday  afternoon 
gave  a  view  of  thousands  of  Spaniards  enjoying  their  national  sport,  which 
impressed  us  as  superior  to  football  as  an  exhibition  of  athletic  training  and 
dexterity  but  aroused  sympathy  for  the  helpless  horses  blinded  and  pushed 
before  the  enfuriated  bulls  only  to  be  gored  and  killed  while  the  riders 
stabbed  the  bulls  in  the  shoulder  and  fell  awkwardly  in  the  arena.  This 
bloody  sport  is  all  that  remains  of  the  tourney  of  the  Dark  Ages  and  is

losing  caste  with  the  educated  but  is  demanded  by  the  lower  classes.  It 
does  not  seem  to  make  the  people  cruel  or  blood-thirsty  but  acts  as  a  safety 
valve  as  football  does  in  America. 

In  our  visit  to  Toledo,  the  Spanish  Rome  on  its  picturesque  hills  sur- 
rounded by  the  yellow  Tagiis,  we  were  struck  with  the  maze  of  winding 
streets  so  complex  that  Baedeker  could  not  secure  an  accurate  map  of  the 
city.  Herds  of  goats  and  sometimes  cows  often  blocked  our  way  as  they 
were  driven  from  door  to  door  delivering  milk  directly  to  the  housewives. 
In  many  cities  is  this  delivered  from  the  producer  direct  to  the  consumer. 
Thirty  miles  from  Madrid  we  saw  the  Escorial,  a  gigantic  stone  structure 
of  doubtful  taste  but  blending  harmoniously  with  the  bleak  sierras, — ^a  con- 
vent, palace  and  burial  place  of  kings.  The  young  king  never  willingly 
visits  this  pantheon  of  his  ancestors  where  only  one  sarcophagus  remains 
without  its  royal  tenant.  Many  besides  the  king  fear  that  this  portends  the 
fall  of  royalty. 

From  Madrid  to  Cordova  is  a  dreary  succession  of  tawny  plains  and 
nKDuntains  covered  with  ripened  grain,  relieved  at  time^  by  olive  groves  but 
otherwise  destitute  of  trees  or  foliage.  The  view  gets  on  our  nerves  and  we 
long  for  trees.  The  primitive  method  of  threshing  the  grain  by  lawn- 
rollers  drawn  by  mules  over  level  areas  of  even-baked  clay,  illustrates  the 
fact  that  Spain  is  a  century  behind  the  times  in  agriculture.  The  Spaniard 
loves  his  ease  and  has  little  initiative.  The  French  and  Belgians  own  and 
operate  the  railroads  and  mines.  In  Seville  we  dreaded  the  temperature 
of  130°  in  the  shade  but  were  comfortable  even  here  In  fact,  Spain  was 
more  comfortable  than  Ann  Arbor,  owing  largely  to  the  dry  air,  narrow 
streets  and  thick  stone  walls  of  the  buildings.  In  Granada  the  Alhambra 
on  a  lofty  hill  covered  with  English  elms,  seemed  to  us  a  paradise.  The 
noble  elms  planted  by  Wellington  form  a  fitting  background  for  the  per- 
fection of  Moorish  art  in  the  Alhambra.  A  more  delightful  spot  to  spend 
a  nK)nth  in  midsummer  could  not  be  found.  Along  eastern  Spain  from 
Malaga  to  Barcelona  the  vineyards  and  groves  of  olive,  orange  and  lemon 
trees  formed  a  beautiful  foreground  for  the  blue  Mediterranean  with  its 
countless  fishing  boats. 

Barcelona  is  the  Manchester  of  Spain  with  half  a  million  people.  We 
found  more  extensive  and  finer  boulevards  than  those  of  Madrid,  more 
business  and  finer  views.  Here  the  war  broke  out  and  foreign  paper  ^as 
worthless.  Fortunately  we  engaged  the  last  cabin  on  the  Spanish  boat 
sailing  for  New  York  September  25.  After  vainly  cabling  for  cash  and 
visiting  banks  for  ten  days  without  success  our  stateroom  was  to  be  for- 
feited when  an  old  Porto  Rican  friend  telegraphed  credit  from  his  home  in 
Mallorca,  giving  us  pesetas  for  our  return  voyage.  On  August  i  the  gov- 
ernment issued  the  moratorium  by  which  banks  could  limit  payments  to  five 
per  cent,  of  deposits. 

In  our  return  voyage  our  German  passengers  dropped  off  at  Malaga 
and  went  by  rail  to  Cadiz  to  escape  capture  at  Gibraltar  where  a  British 
cruiser  chased  us  until  our  captain  gave  assurance  that  we  had  no  Germans 
on  board.    On  entering  New  York  harbor  we  agreed  with  Chauncey  Depew

who  arrived  two  days  earlier.  He  remarked  that  he  never  expected  to  go 
to  heaven  but  New  York  was  good  enough  for  him.  On  landing  we  met 
Bruce  Bromley  who  related  the  blood-airdling  escapes  of  four  Ann  Arbor 
students.  Two  lost  their  motorcycles  and  bags  near  Paris  when  a  crowd 
seized  them  as  German  spies  and  were  on  the  point  of  shooting  them  when 
the  mayor  of  the  town  came  to  their  rescue.  Taken  all  into  consideration, 
our  trips  to  Europe  were  more  Jhan  usually  interesting  and  exciting.  We 
are  duly  thankful  for  all  our  blessings. 

Professor  Arthur  G.  Hall 

Our  delightful  vacation  tour  through  the  British  Isles  this  summer 
was  so  devoid  of  spectacular  inconveniences  that  an  account  of  it  will  seem 
comparatively  tame.  In  company  with  Professor  Elmer  E.  Powell,  (Mich- 
igan, 1885)  and  his  wife  and  daughter,  of  Miami  University,  Mrs.  Hall  and 
I  sailed  from  Montreal  on  June  23  and  landed  in  Liverpool  on  July  4. 
There^Dr.  Powell  bought  an  American  car.  Indeed  it  seemed  that  one 
fourth  of  the  cars  we  met  were  of  American  make.  The  itinerary  of  our 
two-thousand  mile  tour,  which  we  carried  out  as  originally  planned,  was 
briefly  as  follows:  Through  Chester  and  North  Wales  to  Carnarvon  and 
back,  the  Lake  District,  Scotland,  the  Cathedral  towns,  Cambridge  and 
Oxford,  the  Wye  valley,  northern  and  southern  Devon,  and  Salisbury  and 
the  New  Forest,  followed  by  a  week  in  London. 

The  papers  brought  aboard  by  the  Liverpool  pilot  announced  the  as- 
sassination of  the  Archduke  of  Austria.  The  papers  at  Cambridge  con- 
tained the  news  of  the  Austro-Servian  trouble.  From  that  time  the  situ- 
ation on  the  Continent  developed  rapidly.  The  extention  for  three  days  of 
the  bank  holidays,  followed  by  the  issue  of  the  crude  looking  one-pound  and 
ten-shilling  notes  and  by  other  governmental  measures  completely  averted 
a  financial  panic,  and  our  travellers*  checks  were  good  everywhere  for  face 
value.  So  too  the  prompt  action  of  the  government  Board  of  Trade  kept 
prices  normal  and  prevented  extortion.  Once  when  our  gasoline  supply 
gave  out  near  Salisbury,  we  paid  double  price  to  a  passing  taxi-cab  driver ; 
but  such  incidents  occur  where  there  is  no  war. 

In  several  cities  near  military  depots  we  offered  to  register  as  aliens, 
but  were  informed  that  as  Americans  we  were  welcome  to  go  where  we 
pleased.  Of  course  we  avoided  approaching  the  military  camps  on  Salis- 
bury Plain  and  similar  places  where  a  foreigner  had  no  business  to  be.  We 
saw  little  of  the  war  excepting  the  gathering  and  marching  of  troops  and 
the  sentries  at  railway  bridges.  The  Britons  made  it  a  matter  of  principle 
to  let  ordinary  affairs  go  on  as  usual.  This  does  not  mean  that  they  took 
matters  lightly:  their  serious  determination  was  not  to  be  mistaken.  In 
London  we  registered  with  the  American  committee  at  the  Savoy  Hotel 
and  found  a  Michigan  alumnus.  Dr.  L.  C.  Bacon,  'gom,  of  St.  Paul,  at  the 
desk.  The  important  and  efficient  work  of  this  committee  cannot  be  too 
highly  commended  throughout  America.  It  was  fully  recognized  in  Eng- 
land.   For  instance  The  Times  gave  several  columns  to  it  each  morning.

40  THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS  [October 

We  sailed  from  London,  or  rather  Tilbury,  on  August  21,  anchoring 
that  night  off  Sheemess  under  the  guns  and  searchlights  of  the  battle- 
ships there,  and  similarly  off  Plymouth  the  following  night.  Our  vessel 
carried  no  freight  and  the  consequent  lively  motion  aggravated  attacks  of 
seasickness.  Four  six  inch  gims  mounted  on  deck  served  to  reassure  (?)  the 
fearful.  We  were  in  continual  wireless  communication  with  a  British 
cruiser  but  saw  no  warships  of  any  sort  on  the  ocean.  Our  ship  was 
filled  with  passengers,  but  all  the  accommodations  were  as  comfortable  and 
pleasant  as  in  times  of  peace.  Save  for  the  nervous  tension  everything  went 
as  usual.  Thus  with  this  exception,  we  have  only  the  pleasantest  memories 
of  our  simimer's  outing. 

Professor  Henry  C,  Adams 

A  letter  from  Professor  H.  C.  Adams,  to  President  Hutchins,  dated 
August  16,  at  Peking,  China,  announces  that  the  Adams  family  will  sail  for 
home  from  Yokahama  on  September  26.  The  war  in  Europe  caused  them 
to  change  their  plans  r^^rding  the  return  through  Europe,  and  a  stay  of 
some  months  in  Germany  for  observations  and  research  in  political  economy. 

The  letter  told  of  the  satisfactory  termination  of  Professor  Adams' 
work  as  a  member  of  the  Commission  for  the  unification  of  the  railway 
accounts  and  statistics  of  the  Ministry  of  Communication,  Mr.  Adams  hav- 
ing been  appointed  to  this  Commission  nearly  two  years  ago  by  the  Chinese 
government.    In  part  the  letter  reads  as  follows: 

"This  war  has  broken  entirely  my  program  of  travel  for  which  the 
Regents  gave  me  an  additional  one-half  year's  leave  of  absence.  While  I 
could  go  through  India,  perhaps,  with  some  degree  of  safety,  I  do  not  feel 
warranted  in  returning  via  Europe.  I  might  go  to  Manila,  but  if  the  Japs 
are  going  to  take  a  hand  in  the  game,  as  seems  probable  from  the  ultimatum 
just  sent  to  Germany,  every  mile  that  brings  me  nearer  to  the  Pacific 
coast  will  be  a  relief. 

"Should  the  situation  change  during  the  next  two  or  three  weeks  I 
may  yet  carry  out  my  original  plan,  but  that  is  not  likely,  and  I  have  wired 
for  accommodations  to  carry  me  home  from  Yokahama  on  the  26th  of 
September. 

"This  is  the  second  time  that  the  Adams  family  has  started  up  an 
international  war  by  moving  out  of  the  country.  We  were  in  Berlin  when 
the  Spanish-American  war  broke  out. 

"The  boys  arrived  safely  a  week  ago,  and  are  seeing  the  sights  of  the 
city.  Their  trip  has  been  well  worth  while,  and  I  am  impressed  anew  with 
.ne  fact  that  there  are  many  kinds  of  an  education  beside  that  given  by  a 
university. 

"For  myself,  the  work  that  I  came  to  do  is  finished,  and  seems  to  have 
met  with  favor,  for  in  the  reorganization  of  the  Ministry  of  Communica- 
tion it  has  been  made  the  cornerstone  of  one  of  the  seven  divisions  into 
which  the  ministry  is  divided.  Rather  strong  inducements  have  been 
offered  to  lead  me  to  return  for  three  or  four  months  two  years  from 
now,  which  will  be  the  critical  period  for  this  entire  experiment,  but  I  said 
I  could  make  no  promise  till  I  had  been  home."

MICHIGAN  58;  DE  PAUW  0 

Early-season  predictions  that  the  1914 
team  would  be  one  of  the  best  which  Yost 
has  ever  given  Michig^,  were  seemingly 
fulfilled  in  the  first  game  of  the  season  on 
September  30,  when  the  Wolverines  over- 
whelmed the  eleven  from  De  Pauw  Uni- 
versity by  the  score  of  58  to  o. 

In  this  game,  which  was  watched  by  a 
crowd  of  over  5,000,  the  Varsity's  backs 
were  able  to  gain  nearly  at  will  through  the 
defense  which  the  Saturday  before  had 
held  Indiana  University  to  a  13  to  6  score. 
As  is  customary  in  early  games  on  Ferry 
Field,  Quarterback  Hughitt  had  but  a 
small  repertoire  of  plays  to  use,  but  every 
one  of  them  proved  effective.  Yost  sent 
in  three  complete  sets  of  backs,  and  the 
substitute  combinations  proved  nearly  as 
capable  as  their  predecessors  in  gaming 
ground. 

Although  Coach  Yost  started  his  train- 
ing season  this  fall  with  four  "M'*  wearers 
for  his  backfield,  there  was  just  one  letter 
man  in  the  team  which  went  onto  the  field 
to  start  the  game.  This  man  was  Ernest 
"Tommy"  Hughitt,  the  quarterback.  Two 
sophomores,  Maulbetsch  and  Splawn,  and 
a  1913  substitute,  Bastian,  composed  the 
trio  of  backs.  Gait  would  ordinarily  have 
been  in  Bastian's  place  had  it  not  been  for 
his  injured  knee,  which  again  threatens  to 
impair  his  effectiveness  as  ati  exceptionally 
good  half  back.  Catlett,  an  ''M"  man,  got 
into  the  battle  before  it  was  over  and  did 
good  work.  Bushnell,  the  other  letter  man, 
sat  on  the  sidelines  with  an  injured  foot. 

Michigan  carried  the  ball  during  prac- 
tically the  whole  game,  and  the  battle  was 
a  series  of  dashes  toward  successive  Wol- 
verine touchdowns.  In  one  instance  it  re- 
quired but  a  single  play  to  negotiate  the 
6  points.  Hughitt  had  carried  the  kick-off 
back  past  the  middle  of  the  field.  Then 
he  called  on  Splawn  for  a  forward  pass, 
the  ball  going  squarely  into  the  waiting 
arms  of  right  end  Lyons,  who  went  over 
for  a  touchdown  and  a  45-yard  gain.  It 
was  the  only  successful  forward  pass  of 
the  game,  the  remainder  of  Michigan's  ef- 
forts missing  narrowly,  while  De  Pauw's 
all  went  sadly  amiss. 

Maulbetsch  made  two  of  the  touchdowns 
on  short  plunges  through  the  line,  missing 
a  third  when  he  jammed  the  b^  up  against

an  upright  instead  of  past  it.  This  young 
player,  who  has  been  the  idol  of  Michigan 
men  since  the  day  when  he  started  to  play 
football  for  the  Ann  Arbor  High  School, 
showed  great  promise  as  a  plunger  and  as 
a  defensive  player.  Siplawn,  the  dther 
sophomore  in  the  backfield,  considered  the 
best  young  kicker  ever  on  Ferry  Field, 
punted  for  long  Wolverine  gains,  and  also

Other  changes  provide  for  the  use  of  a 
field  judge  in  the  bigger  games,  the  keep- 
ing absolutely  clear  of  the  neutral  zone 
between  the  forward  lines  of  the  opposing 
teams,  the  prohibition  of  the  grounding  of 
a  forward  pass  when  it  seems  about  to  be 
unsuccessful  and  to  result  in  a  loss  of 
ground,  and  the  stopping  of  the  play  which 
allows  of  the  hiding  of  a  player  along  the 
sidelines. 

It  is  not  expected  that  the  style  of  the 
game  at  present  played,  will  be  materi- 
ally changed  as  a  result  of  these  few 
changes,  but  that  they  will  have  the  further 
effect  of  simplifying  the  general  type  of 
play  and  will  make  the  rules  more  intelli- 
gible for  both  player  and  spectator.

plan.  While  intended  to  prevent  as  far  as 
possible  the  direction  of  the  play  on  the 
field  by  the  coach,  the  coaches  themselves 
believe  this  change  will  have  but  little 
eflFect.  Play  can  still  possibly  be  directed 
by  the  sending  in  of  substitutes,  but  it  will 
make  necessary  the  planning  of  a  more 
complex  system  of  signals  if  the  coach 
should  still  desire  to  have  any  large  share 
in  the  direction  of  the  play. 

The  other  change  will  allow  of  more 
effective  work  in  the  blocking  of  kicks,  in 
that  it  permits  of  the  kicker's  being  touched 
after  the  kick,  although  it  is  left  with  the 
officials  to  keep  this  play  from  becoming 
rough.  It  is  expected  that  the  players  will 
charge  through   for  the  blocking  of  kicks

scriptive geometry  and  architecture,  re- 
spectively.— Such  additional  assistance  was

sion fee.

two  weeks  and  less  than  four  weeks  (in  the  Law 
Department  less  than  five  weeks;  in  the  Medical 
Department  less  than  three  weeks)  after  his  regis- 
tration, is  entitled  to  a  refund  of  40  per  cent  of 
his  Summer  Session  fee.

or  less  of  a  Summer  Session  on  payment  of  a  fee 
equal  to  60  per  cent  of  the  fee  for  the  entire 
Summer  Session  in  the  Department  in  which  such 
student  enrolls. 

(6)  The  40  per  cent  thus  refunded  to  students 
enrolling  for  the  second  half  of  the  Summer  Ses- 
sion shall  be  included  in  determining  any  further 
refund  to  withdrawing  students  under  (2)  and

from  Mr.  Winfield  Goong  presenting  for 
the  art  gallery  two  specimens  of  twentieth

intended  to  be  an  expression  of  Mr.

work  performed  largely  bv  Mr.  Metcalf  assisted 
by  Mr.  Whiting  Alden  of  the  Forestry  class  of

ing the  scientific  study  of  evidence  in  a  suit  for 
$360,000.  dealing  with  forest  conditions  as  af- 
fected by  fires. 

These  gifts  were  accepted  and  the  thanks 
of  the  Board  extended  to  Mr.  Metcalf. — 
— The  President  presented  the  two  follow- 
ing communications  from  Doctor  C.  B.  G. 
de  Nancrede,  Professor  of  Surgery: 

Ann  Arbcr,  Mich.,  July   14,   1914. 

To  the  Honorable  Board  of  Kegcnts; 
Gentlemen : 

Finding  that  I  cannot  properly  provide  for  a 
large  number  of  useful  and  valuable  surgical  in- 
struments, may  I  beg  their  acceptance  by  the 
University  Hospital,  where  I  trust  that  they  will 
prove  as  serviceable  in  the  future  as  they  have  in 
the  past.  Although  not  capable  of  being  sold  for 
any  such  amount,  originally  they  cost  about 
$1,000,  and  would  require  this  sum  to  duplicate 
them. 

Very  truly, 

C.  B.  G.  de  NANCREDE.

Gentlemen : 

I  have  found  some  hundreds  of  works  in  my 
possession  which  are  not  in  the  Medical  portion 
of  the  Library  of  the  University  of  Michigan. 

I  would  ask  that  you  accept  such  as  are  not 
duplicates,  so  that  I  can  feel  that  these  books  will 
still  be  useful  to  other  students. 

Until  all  duplicates  have  been  eliminated  I  can- 
not say  how  many  volumes  may  be  acceptable,  but 
should  estimate  these  at  about  500. 
Very  truly,

order  to  meet  conditions  raised  by  these

ed readjustments  in  the  work  of  Professor 
Friday  and  Assistant  Professor  Dowrie 
whereby  they  would  take  on  a  larger 
amount  of  more  advanced  work  and  would 
have  some  assistance  in  the  lower  grade 
work.  In  accordance  with  this  recommen- 
dation, the  Board  approved  a  schedule  of

A  LETTER  TO  THE  ALUMNUS 

Worcester,  Mass.,  September  15,  1914. 
General  Secretary, 

The  Alumni  Association, 
Ann  Arbor,  Michigan. 
Dear  Sir:— 

I  trust  that  you  will  allow  an  individual 
suggestion  from  a  Michigan  man  and  an 
Easterner,  one  who  is  doubly  interested  in 
the  coming  Michigan-Harvard  football 
game,  and  place  this  communication  before 
the  proper  parties  to  act  upon  as  they  see 
fit. 

It  is  as  to  cheering  and  singing  at  the 
game.  I  understand  that  the  Michigan 
band  is  well  organized  and  will  be  present 
at  the  game,  which  fact  will  doubtless  aid 
the  singing.  I  hope  that  well  trained  cheer 
leaders  will  also  come  on.  I  think  that  the 
Eastern  alumni  will  give  a  good  account 
of  themselves,  if  so  led. 

Having  attended  a  number  of  games  in 
the  Harvard  Stadium,  I  have  been  struck 
with  its  acoustic  properties.  A  long  drawn 
out  cheer  does  not  "go"  so  well,  in  my 
opinion,  as  the  short  snappy  one.  The 
high  walls  and  seats  cause  an  echo  and 
the  result  is  that  the  last  part  of  a  cheer 
is  apt  to  greet  the  first  part  coming  back. 
I  have  noticed,  too,  that  people  sitting  on 
the  side  of  the  cheering  in  that  vast  stadi- 
um cannot  hear  the  words  distinctly  if 
drawn  out  and  in  getting  the  echo  back,  a 
confusion  of  sound  is  likely  to  result.  Of 
course  the  spectators  opposite  the  cheering 
are  not  so  troubled.  The  short  snappy 
cheering  of  Ohio  State  on  Ferry  Field 
has  always  made  a  good  impression  on 
my  memory,  lasting  longer  perhaps  thaii 
my  remembrances  of  the  games  themselves. 
The  Harvard  cheer  is  long  drawn  out  and 
their  music  always  seemed  to  me  to  be 
slow  moving. 

The  interest  throughout  the  East  in  the 
game  is  increasing  rapidly.  I  have  no 
doubt  the  game  will  outdraw  the  Harvard- 
Princeton  game  the  following  Saturday  on

the  same  field.  Among  the  40,000,  which 
can  be  seated  the  vast  majority  will  be 
Harvard  sympathizers  and  also  "neutral" 
Easterners.  The  latter  will  appreciate  a 
good  game  and  will  be  willing  to  be  shown. 
A  fighting  team,  backed  by  an  enthusiastic 
bundi  of  alumni  and  students,  no  matter 
how  small  in  number,  will  create  a  favor- 
able impression,  irrespective  of  the  final 
outcome  of  the  game. 

I  do  not  for  a  minute  want  to  abolish 
any  of  the  old  Michigan  songs  and  cheers, 
but  I  would  like  to  hear  in  addition  some 
snappy  ones,  written  if  necessary  for  the 
occasion  and  printed  for  distribution  to 
alumni  associations  so  that  the  memories 
of  the  old  may  be  refreshed  and  the  new 
ones  learned  for  this  game.  I  do  not  need 
to  state  that  the  Eastern  alumni  will  ac- 
cord an  enthusiastic  greeting. 

Camp  has  lately  written  that  the  game, 
this  Pall,  will  settle  the  year's  champion- 
ship, but  that  it  will  not  in  one  game  de- 
cide the  merits  of  the  Eastern  and  West- 
em  football.  Pretty  fair  for  a  Yale  man. 
Harvard  in  its  prospects  and  material  is 
the  best  in  years,  but  we  have  faith  in 
Yost  and  a  Michigan  team. 

Sincerely  yours, 
Merrili.  S.  June,  '12/. 

A  CHICAGO  MID-SUMMER  OUTING 

Story   of   How   Chicago's   Michigan   Men 

Disported  Themselves  at  Their  Annual 

Picnic. 

"Soak  'em.  John !" 

•*BAWL  TUH!" 

— And  John  got  his  base  on  balls — some- 
times. And  sometimes  he  landed  on  the 
big  armory  ball  for  a  home  run.  Where- 
upon his  teammates,  old  boys  and  young- 
uns,  howled  with  delight  as  John's  corpu- 
lent person  galloped  and  puffed  across  the 
home  plate. 

It  was  the  big  ball  game  between  the 
"Germans"  and  the  "Russians"  at  the  an- 
nual midsummer  outing  of  the  Chicago 
Alumni  Association  of  the  University  of 
Michigan. 

"The  Time  —  Saturday  Afternoon,  Au- 
gust 29. 

"The  Place— Ravinia  Park,  Chicago. 

**The  Girl — Merrie  Michigan" — was  the 
way  the  event  was  announced  in  the  Chica- 
go "Michigan  Bulletin." 

And  that  afternoon  there  was  a  mobili- 
zation of  Michigan  men  for  the  park.  Men 
with  downy  moustaches  and  men  old  and 
shrewd  in  the  game  of  the  "wide,  wide 
world"  left  their  labors  and  gathered  to 
have  fun  together  like  boys  again.  They 
loafed,  loitered,  lingered  and  leaped.  They 
talked  war  and  played  baseball.  They  har- 
monized and  melodized  and  yelled  the  old 


yells  once  more,  with  "Bony"  Bohnsack  as 
leader. 

The  features  of  the  day  were  the  two 
bloody  battles  between  the  Germans  and  the 
Russians  on  the  beautiful  baseball  field  be- 
fore the  stadium.  For  the  first  game  the 
"chose  up"  line-up  was  as  follows:  Rus- 
sians— "Smi"  Smith,  *ii  (Capt.) ;  Drake, 
Curtis,  Reighard,  Roth,  Hoover,  Reisser, 
Kolyn,  Supple. 

Germans — McKenzie,  '96  (Capt.)  ;  Lunn, 
Bohnsack,  David,  Eckhard,  Haller,  Heck- 
ler, Newmarke,  Small. 

The  Deutschers  won  by  a  score  of  8  to  4. 
Umpires — Dr.  H.  S.  Eisenstaedt,  and  I.  K. 
Pond.    Errors,  78. 

Second  Battle:  Russians — David  (Capt.) 
Martin,  Davis,  Hoover,  Hoffman,  W.  Gal- 
loway, Towler,  Adams,  Roth. 

Germans — Bohnsack  (Capt)  ;  O'Connor, 
Drake,  Lunn,  J.  Galloway,  Chadwick,  Mar- 
tin, Green,  Kolyn,  Eckhart. 

The  dead  were  11  to  7,  in  favor  of  the 
Germans. 

At  the  banquet  out  under  the  trees  by 
the  casino  in  the  evening  Capt.  Art  Bohn- 
sack was  presented  with  a  "silver  loving 
cup"  in  honor  of  his  valiant  work  in  the 
battles  of  the  afternoon.  The  "cup"  was 
a  bright  tin  horn. 

About  125  Michigan  men  were  present 
at  the  outing,  and  many  brought  their 
wives,  children,  friends  or  fiancees.  The 
oldest  grad  present  was  Bartow  A.  Ulrich, 
'64.  The  afternoon  symphony  concert  by 
the  Chicago  Symphony  orchestra  and  the 
opera,  Lucia  di  Lammermoor,  in  the  even- 
ing given  in  the  open-air  auditorium,  were 
the  main  free  attractions.  All  the  good  old 
songs  in  the  Michigan  Union  song  books, 
a  snake  dance,  and  a  prolonged  mouth  or- 
gan and  tin  horn  concert,  very  ably  led  by 
Mr.  L  K.  Pond,  '79^,  succeeded  the  dinner. 

Anyway,  they  all  went  home  with  brain 
and  brawn  renewed.  Everybody  was  hap- 
py and  had  the  smile  that  wouldn't  come 
of?  for  'twas  all  the  way  through. 

A.  E.  Curtis,  'ii. 

CHICAGO 

In  an  effort  to  get  directly  in  touch  with 
the  new  graduates  of  the  University  who 
locate  in  Chicago,  furnish  them  with  in- 
formation concerning  the  city  and  help 
them  in  any  way  possible,  the  Chicago 
Alumni  Association  of  the  University  will 
establish  this  year  an  employment  commit- 
tee, consisting  of  Michigan  men  who  are 
representative  in  their  professions  and  lines 
of  business.  It  is  planned  to  centralize 
the  work  of  the  committee  in  a  secretary, 
who  will  act,  first,  as  a  clearing  house  for 
the  employer  and  employee;  and  second,  as 
the  organizing  point  through  which  the 
work  of  the  committee  can  be  broadened

PORTO  RICO  ALUMNI  ENTERTAIN 
DR.  NOW 

A  royal  reception  was  extended  to  Dr. 
Novy  and  family  on  the  occasion  of  his 
visit  to  Porto  Rico  this  summer.  As  the 
steamer  was  being  warped  in  its  berth  it 
was  boarded  by  a  Committee  of  the  Asso- 
ciation, consisting  of  Dr.  M.  Del  Valle, 
'gid,  Dr.  E.  DeGoenaga,  'oSd,  R.  Del  Valle, 
*oid^  B^.  (Phar.  hon.)  '07  Buenaventura 
Jimmez,  'o5*w,  and  M.  Del  Valle,  *i6i?.  In 
the  name  of  the  Association  Dr.  Novy  was 
welcomed  to  the  Island  and  presented  with 
an  engrossed  copy  of  Resolutions  adopted 
by  the  Porto  Rican  Branch  of  Michigan 
Alumni. 

The  Porto  Rico  branch  of  the  Alumni 
Association  of  the  University  of  Michi- 
gan, desiring  to  do  honor  to  Dr.  Fred  G. 
Novy,  Professor  at  the  University  of  Mich- 
igan, on  his  proposed  trip  to  Porto  Rico, 
passed  the  following  resolutions  at  a  meet- 
ing held  June  11,  T914. 

Be  it  resolved,  that  on  the  occasion  of 
the  visit  of  Dr.  Fred  0.  Novy,  of  the  fac- 
ulty of  the  University  of  Michigan,  to  the 
Island  of  Porto  Rico  that  the  members  of 
the  Porto  Rican  branch  of  the  Alumni  As- 
sociation of  the  University  of  Michigan,  do 
extend  to  him  a  most  hearty  greeting  and 
welcome  to  our  Island,  and  assure  him  of 
our  great  pleasure  for  the  opportunity  of 
welcoming  him,  not  only  as  a  man  of  world 
wide  reputation  as  a  scientist,  but  also  as 
a  member  of  the  faculty  and  representative 
of  the  University  of  Michigan,  our  well 
loved  Alma  Mater. 

Be  it  also  resolved,  that  the  members  of 
this  association,  both  individually  and  col- 
lectively, do  place  ourselves  at  the  disposal 
of  Dr.  Novy,  in  whatever  way  may  be  pos- 
sible, in  order  that  his  stay  here  may  be 
as  pleasant  as  possible,  and  that  he  may 
see  that  the  spirit  of  Michigan,  transferred 
to  a  tropic  island,  remains  always  the  same. 
Manuel  V.  Del  Valle,  rf'91, 

President 
Jose  E.  Benedicto, 

Secretary. 
San  Juan,  Porto  Rico,  August,  1914. 

The  Committee  kindly  placed  their  auto- 
mobiles at  the  service  of  the  party  which 
was  then  transported  to  Rio  Piedras  eight 
miles  from  San  Juan,  where  they  took  up 
their  stay  as  guests  of  Dean  R.  S.  Gar- 
wood, '92,  and  Juanita  Garza  Garwood. 
Mr.  Garwood,  then  Dean  of  the  normal 
school  at  Rio  Piedras,  is  now  performing 


the  duties  of  Dean  of  the  Agricultural  Col- 
lege at  Mayaguez. 

On  the  following  day  Drs.  Del  Valle  and 
De  Goenaga  arranged  a  delightful  auto 
trip  via  Catanio,  liayamon  to  Camerio. 

On  August  20,  a  dinner  was  tendered  Dr. 
Xovy  at  the  Union  Club,  by  the  Asociacion 
Medica  de  Puerta  Rico.  It  was  attended 
by  about  20  of  the  foremost  practitioners 
of  the  Island,  telegrams  of  regret  being 
sent  by  many  unable  to  be  present.  It  was 
presided  over  by  Dr.  Bailey  K.  Ash  ford, 
U.  S.  Medical  Corps,  who  called  upon  Dr. 
Gutierrez  Igaravidez  to  give  the  address 
of  welcome  to  which  a  response  was  made 
by  Dr.  Novy. 

The  following  evening  an  informal  re- 
ception and  smoker  was  held  at  the  Club 
Rooms  of  the  Asociacion  Medica. 

Subsequently,  a  most  profitable  visit  was 
made  to  the  Institute  for  Tropical  Medi- 
cine where  valuable  research  is  conducted 
by  Drs.  Gonzales,  Gutierrez,  Ashford,  King 
and  others.  The  excellent  bacteriological 
laboratory  of  the  Board  of  Health  is  con- 
ducted by  Drs.  Gonzales  and  Hernandez, 
the  latter  a  former  student  in  the  Medical 
Department  of  the  University  in  i900-*oi. 
The  entire  governmental  chemical  work  on 
the  Island  is  under  the  charge  of  Raphael 
Del  Valle,  'oip,  B.S.  (Phar.  hon.)  '07,  and 
Angel  M.  Pesquera,  Ph.C.  '11. 

In  company  with  Dr.  Lippett,  Director 
of  Public  Health,  and  Dr.  Gomez  Briosa 
a  visit  was  made  to  the  leper  island. 

Through  the  extreme  courtesy  of  Dr. 
Ashford  an  auto  trip  was  taken  via  Catanio, 
Bayamon.  Arecibo  to  Utuado  in  the  coffee 
country,  the  scene  of  an  extensive  anti- 
hookworm  campaign. 

The  Alumni  Association  further  arrang- 
ed an  auto  trip  for  Dr.  Novy  and  family 
across  the  Island,  via  Gaguas,  Cayey,  Guay- 
ma,  Salinas  to  Ponce,  thence  returning  via 
Coamo  Springs,  Coamo,  Aibonito  and 
Cayey.  Drs.  De  Croenaga  and  M.  Del  Valle 
were  the  efficient  guides  on  this  long  and 
most  interesting  ride. 

On  August  28,  the  evening  before  sail- 
ing, the  Alumni  Association  tendered  a 
banquet  to  Dr.  Novy  at  the  Cafe  Cova- 
donga.    Those  present  were:

sociation of  Eugene,  Oregon,  held  its  an- 
nual banquet  on  the  evening  of  May  14.

hopes  to  make  the  fund  a  reality  this  year.

BOOK  AND  MAGAZINE  NOTES 

Theodore  W.  Koch,  Librarian  of  the  Un- 
iversity, is  the  author  of  several  pamphlets 
which  have  appeared  during  the  summer. 
Two  papers  on  *The  Bibliotheque  Nation- 
ale/'  the  first  dealing  with  its  organization 
and  history,  and  the  second  with  its  ad- 
ministration, have  been  reprinted  from 
The  Library  Journal  for  May  and  June, 
1914,  and  are  published  together.  The  Au- 
gust number  of  The  North  American  Re- 
view  contained  an  article,  "Some  Old-Time 
Old-World  Librarians,"  which  has  since 
been  reprinted  in  pamphlet  form,  and  in 
the  Library  Journal  for  August,  1914,  was 
published  his  account  of  the  Leipzig  Expo- 
sition and  the  opening  of  the  A.  L.  A.  ex- 
hibit, of  which  Mr.  Koch  had  charge.  This 
has  been  recently  published  under  the  title 
"Impressions  of  the  Leipzig  Exposition  and 
the  Opening  of  the  A.  L.  A.  Exhibit."  The 
pamphlet  is  printed  on  plate  paper  and  il- 
lustrated with  numerous  photographs. 

Professor  W.  T.  Hussey.  Professor  of 
Astronomy  and  Director  of  the  Observa- 
tory', who  spends  half  the  year  at  La  Plata 
University  in  South  America,  has  recently 
published  a  report  of  his  astronomical  work 
at  La  Plata.  In  addition  to  a  detailed  ac- 
count of  the  two  himdred  double  stars 
lately  discovered,  the  booklet  describes  in 
general  the  work  done  at  the  institution, 
and  the  experimental  work  of  Paul  T. 
Delavan,  *i2r,  and  B.  F.  Dawson,  who  have 
been  at  La  Plata  for  some  time.  Professor 
Hussey  has  been  in  Ann  Arbor  during  part 
of  the  past  year,  but  returned  to  La  Plata 
in  lune. 


Dr.  Edgar  Ewing  Brandon,  '88,  Vice- 
President  of  Miami  University,  wrote  for 
the  July  number  of  "The  Journal  of  Race 
Development"  a  paper  entitled  "Higher  Ed- 
ucation in  Latin  America,"  in  which  he  dis- 
cusses the  facilities,  equipment,  organiza- 
tion and  teachers  of  the  principal  Latin- 
American  colleges  and  universities.  The 
article  has  since  been  reprinted  in  pamphlet 
form.

tor in  the  rhetoric  department  of  the  Uni- 
versity, is  on  the  staff  of  The  Cornhill 
Booklet,  of  Boston,  which  has  recently  been 
revived.  The  magazine  was  originated  in 
1900  by  Mr.  Alfred  Bartlett,  and  in  its  five 
years  of  existence  published  uncollected 
writings  of  Robert  Louis  Stevenson,  Na- 
thaniel Hawthorne,  Oliver  Wendell  Holmes, 
Eugene  Field  and  Rudyard  Kipling.  The 
new  Cornhill  Booklet  is  to  contain  letters

mencement address  at  the  exercises  of  the 
Library  School  of  the  New  York  Public 
Library  on  June  12,  1914.

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[November 


This  increasing  at- 
SOME  PROBLEMS  tendance,  particular- 
THEY  BRING  ly  marked  during  the 
last  few  years,  is 
bringing  problems  which  •  present 
themselves  with  equal  insistence  to  the 
Regents,  the  Faculty  and  the  alumni. 
There  is  certainly  some  foundation 
for  the  feeling  that  we  are  growing 
too  rapidly  to  permit  of  correspond- 
ing internal  development.  But  it  is 
a  satisfaction  to  feel  that  this  growth 
is  healthy,  even  though  it  brings  cer- 
tain hardships  alike  to  Faculty  and 
students,  owing  to  the  form  of  the 
University's  organization,  and  to  the 
absolute  necessity  of  a  budget  pre- 
pared the  previous  year.  Certain 
courses  are  inevitably  disorganized 
at  the  beginning  of  each  year. 
Temporary  quarters  have  to  be  pre- 
pared, and  in  many  cases  teachers  of 
lower  rank  are  hastily  marshalled  to 
meet  the  demand.  It  takes  time  to 
make  a  professor.  Reference  to  the  re- 
port of  the  October  meeting  of  the 
Regents  will  show  how  many  adjust- 
ments have  been  necessary,  flt  Yet  as 
one  looks  back  and  views  the  measures 
which  have  been  taken  year  by  year 
to  meet  these  increasing  numbers,  new 
buildings,  an  enlarged  Faculty  and 
new  courses  which  have  followed  in- 
evitably, one  realizes  that  the  Univer- 
sity is  responding  nobly,  and  that  the 
hardships  are  only  partial  and  local- 
ized. The  really  important  aspect  of 
this  whole  question  lies  in  its 
bearing  upon  the  final  effectiveness 
of  the  University  as  a  center  for  the 
dissemination  of  knowledge  and  for 
the  preparation  for  life  of  those  who 
enter  its  doors  With  the  increase  in 
size  comes,  of  course,  a  more  than  pro- 
portionate increase  in  the  difficulties 
of  administration.  This  is  one  of  the 
great  problems  for  all  universities,  and 
one  which  the  University  is  facing 
with  at  least  a  certain  degree  of  suc- 
cess. The  University  is  so  large  now 
that  the  addition  of  a  few  hundred 
students    each    ^xar   makes   but   the 


smallest  difference  in  the  final  problem 
of  avoiding  that  impersonality  and 
mechanical  routine  so  usual,  one  al- 
most says  inevitable,  in  so  large  an  in- 
stitution. 


One  of  the  happiest 
FINANCIAL  of  the  features  in  the 
PROBLEMS  development  of  the 
University  is  its 
method  of  financial  support  by  the 
State.  To  correspond  with  the  Uni- 
versity's growth  there  is  a  continual 
increase  in  the  wealth  and  resources 
of  the  State,  made  available  at  once 
through  the  three-eighths  of  a  mill  tax. 
This,  supplemented  by  the  not  incon- 
siderable percentage  from  the  student 
and  hospital  fees  and  by  occasional, 
but  very  necessary  gifts  of  various 
sorts  from  alumni  and  friends  of  the 
University,  make  up  the  total  income. 
CI  While  the  capital  of  endowed  uni- 
versities, when  wisely  and  conserva- 
tively invested,  always  shows  a  ten- 
dency to  shrink,  the  state  university, 
supported  by  a  mill  tax,  finds  its 
capital  constantly  increasing  with 
the  growth  of  the  State.  The  increase 
of  $192,000  to  the  annual  income  of 
the  University  resulting  from  the  re- 
equalization  of  the  property  in  the 
State,  made  by  the  State  Board  during 
the  past  summer,  is  a  case  in  i>oint 
particularly  pleasing  to  the  friends  of 
the  University.  The  total  valuation 
of  property  in  the  State,  according  to 
the  tax  commissioners,  has  increased 
from  approximately  $2,288,000,000  in 
1912  to  $2,800,000,000  in  1914,  result- 
ing in  an  increased  income  to  the  Uni- 
versity from  $858,000  in  1912  to 
$1,050,000  in  1914.  This,  together  with 
approximately  $400,000  from  student 
fees,  including  the  increase  in  students 
this  year,  $30,000  from  the  Summer 
Session,  and  approximately  $260,000 
from  the  hospitals,  as  well  as  about 
$35,000  from  various  minor  accounts, 
gives  the  University  an  income  for  the 
present  year  of  $1,930,000.

This  is,  of  course,  a 
TIMELY  large  sum,  especially 

ASSISTANCE  in  view  of  the  extra- 
ordinary increase  of 
over  $200,000  in  the  present  year.  But 
when  we  have  an  increase  of  prac- 
tically ten  per  cent  in  the  number  of 
students  every  two  years,  paralleled 
by  a  constantly  increasing  high  cost  of 
living  which  many  an  impecunious 
Faculty  member  will  assure  the  reader 
rests  nowhere  harder  than  in  Ann  Ar- 
bor, where  the  University,  by  its  very 
presence,  creates  almost  necessarily 
certain  abnormal  business  conditions, 
this  increase  comes  right  in  the  nick 
of  time.  Comparison  with  Chicago's 
reported  $2,750,000,  Harvard's  $2,- 
487,000,  Illinois'  $2,305,000,  or  Cor- 
nell's $2,207,543,  especially  when  one 
considers  that  undoubtedly,  with  one 
or  two  possible  exceptions,  Michigan 
has  the  largest  attendance  of  any  uni-* 
versity  in  the  country,  would  indicate 
the  conservatism  and  business  ability 
of  the  Regents  in  bringing  in  the  bud- 
get for  1914-15.  This  was  well  within 
the  estimated  income  before  the  re- 
equalization  increased  the  income 
from  the  mill  tax.  The  University 
may  now  find  it  possible  to  institute 
an  increase  in  the  scale  of  salaries 
which  is  becoming  more  and  more  im- 
perative, and  carry  out  some  of  the 
other  projects  which  lack  of  funds  in 
the  past  has  prohibited. 


As  the  President 
FOR  ALUMNI        Emeritus  has  so  often 
CONSIDERATION   said  in  the  past,  this 
growth  of  American 
Universities,  particularly  in  the  Mid- 
dle West,  is  part  of  the  characteristic- 
ally American — or  shall   we  limit  it 
even   more? — "mid-western"    passion 
for  education.    It  has  brought  about 
practically  a  revolution  within  a  quar- 
ter of  a  century.    We  must  certainly 
recognize  that  the  University  of  the 
present  is  not  the  University  of  twen- 


ty-five years  ago.  flt  This  expansion 
brings  inevitably,  of  course,  certain 
questions  in  administrative  and  aca- 
demic policy  that  are,  in  many  cases, 
still  to  be  settled.  These  are  before 
the  whole  University  constituency 
right  now ;  they  are  for  the  alumni  as 
much  as  for  the  governing  bodies  and 
Faculties.  It  is  even  conceivable  that 
the  students,  about  whom  the  Univer- 
sity revolves,  may  be  interested, 
though  possibly  that  is  too  much  to 
hope  for  until  after  the  football  sea- 
son. But  even  football  brings  its  aca- 
demic problems,  flt  Some  of  the  ques- 
tions which  arise  immediately  from 
the  growth  of  the  University  have  al- 
ready been  suggested.  Others  equally 
pressing,  but  which  do  not  come  home 
with  the  same  force  to  the  ordinary 
alumnus  who  is  not  directly  interested 
in  educational  matters  are  such  prob- 
lems as  that  of  the  A.B.  degree  which 
was  touched  upon  in  these  columns 
last  month,  or  that  ordinarily  dreary 
balancing  of  credit  and  hours  in  the 
discussion  of  entrance  requirements, 
which  are  being  considered  with  par- 
ticular attention  in  some  of  the  east- 
ern colleges  where  our  accredited 
school  system  is  not  applied.  This 
again  suggests  the  question  of  en- 
trance examinations  for  freshmen  as 
against  the  diploma  from  accredited 
schools,  the  system  of  the  eastern  en- 
dowed schools  as  against  the  practice 
of  the  state  universities  The  ques- 
tion of  entrance  requirements,  too, 
brings  one  to  a  consideration  of  how 
far  the  recognition  of  vocational  train- 
ing in  schools  should  be  carried  in  the 
University  Such  questions  as  these 
may  appear  academic  and  the  reverse 
of  inspiring  to  the  average  alumnus, 
but  they  lie  at  the  root  of  the  modern 
university  system  as  it  is  developing 
in  its  relations  to  modem  life  It 
would  be  of  gjeat  advantage  to  the 
University  if  there  were  more  alumni 
who  took  the  trouble  to  inform  them- 
selves concerning  them.

This     evolutionary 

SS5f,??1!!?S.„^re  process  which  is  part 
BODIES.  FACULTIES'^  r  . .  j  • 

AND  STUDENTS  ^^  the  modern  univer- 
sity is  reflected  in  the 
discussions,  perhaps  more  interesting 
for  the  ordinary  graduate,  of  certain 
problems  of  university  administration 
involving  the  relationship  of  the  Fac- 
ulty and  governing  bodies  to  one  an- 
other and  to  the  student.  Dean  Johns- 
ton, in  his  discussion  on  "University 
Organization"  in  the  October  Alum- 
nus might  be  taken  as  an  illustration. 
There  seem  to  be  few  who  are  vitally 
interested  in  the  conduct  of  a  modem 
university  who  are  satisfied  with  the 
present  methods,  but  the  solution  of 
the  problem  has  apparently  not  been 
found.  CI  A  consideration  of  Academ- 
ic Freedom  by  Howard  Crosby  War- 
ren, of  Princeton,  President  of  the 
American  Psychological  Association, 
in  the  November  Atlantic  in  another 
example.  In  that  very  interesting  dis- 
cussion, the  author  points  out  the  fact 
that  academic  freedom  of  teaching, 
the  akademische  Lehrfreiheit,  of  Ger- 
man universities  is  of  the  highest  im- 
portance in  developing  true  scholar- 
ship. The  American  interpretation  of 
this  principle,  however,  differs  from 
the  German.  While  the  German  pro- 
fessor of  high  rank  is  free  to  offer  any 
course  whatsoever  within  the  confines 
of  his  own  branch,  the  American  col- 
lege "seeks  to  weld  its  curriculum  into 
an  organic  unity  and  this  necessitates 
a  definite  apportionment  of  courses 
among  the  staff.  Freedom  of  teaching 
does  not  mean  that  an  instructor  may 
offer  any  course  which  he  deems  wise 
without  securing  the  consent  of  his 
colleagues.  It  means  rather  the  ab- 
sence of  constraint  by  non-academic 
forces."  CI  As  Professor  Warren  fur- 
ther points  out,  the  physician,  or  law- 
yer, is  responsible  for  his  professional 
conduct  to  his  medical  or  bar  associa- 
tion, while  the  scholar  is  dependent 
for  the  opportunity  to  practice  his  call- 
ing, as  well  as  for  his  material  ad- 
vancement to  governing  boards,  which 


for  certain,  and  quite  natural  reasons, 
are  composed  of  laymen  It  is  a  sys- 
tem which  has  proved  highly  success- 
ful from  the  standpoint  of  instruction, 
though  it  is  more  open  to  criticism 
from  that  of  scholarship.  The  curric- 
ulum of  most  American  institutions 
has  kept  nearly  abreast  with  the  pro- 
gress of  learning,  but  the  principle  of 
academic  constraint  has  worked  injury 
to  the  scholastic  profession. 


Michigan  has  every 
NOT  DOWN-  reason  to  be  proud  of 
HEARTED  the  team  which  met 
Harvard  October  31, 
1914.  True,  they  did  not  win,  but  in 
spite  of  inexperience  and  accidents, 
they  almost  turned  the  trick.  Probab- 
ly, as  they  faced  one  another  in  Har- 
vard's stadium,  the  better  team  won. 
But  if  it  did,  it  was  only  by  the  small- 
est of  margins.  That  Michigan,  in 
view  of  the  greenness  of  her  team, 
which  lacked  Harvard's  long  training, 
and  the  accidents  to  such  vital  spots 
as  Hughitt's  elbow  and  Splawn's  knee, 
was  unable  to  summon  the  final  punch 
for  that  last  drive  in  face  of  Harvard's 
magnificent  rallies  in  the  shadow  of 
her  own  goal  posts  is  surely  not  to  her 
discredit.  That  was  where  Harvard's 
veteran  team  rose  bravely  to  the  occa- 
sion. CI  In  carrying  the  ball,  Mich- 
igan made  a  greater  yardage  .than 
Harvard,  gaining  191  yards,  as  against 
127  for  her  opponents,  though  this 
was  more  than  offset  by  Harvard's 
advantage  in  kicking  and  forward  pas- 
sing. Michigan  gained  1 1  first  downs 
to  Harvard's  7,  though  it  must  be  ac- 
knowledged that  on  penalties  she  lost 
70  yards  to  Harvard's  17.  Michigan's 
fine  pluck  and  effectiveness  was  a  reve- 
lation to  the  eastern  spectators  who, 
from  all  accounts,  expected  a  much 
easier  victory.  The  fact  that  Michigan 
carried  the  ball  3  yards  to  Harvard's  2, 
and  that  twice  she  had  the  ball  within 
the  Crimson  five-yard  line,  must  be 
considered  in  every  careful  balancing

of  the  merits  of  the  two  teams.  Har- 
vard, of  course,  was  deprived  of  the 
services  of  Brickley,  Pennock  and  Ma- 
han,  as  an  off-set  to  Michigan's  weak 
spots.  In  view  of  what  did  happen, 
and  the  splendid  showing  Michigan 
made,  we  wish,  and  we  speak  for  all 
good  Michigan  lovers  of  the  game, 
that  Harvard's  captain  and  her  half- 
back had  been  in  the  game,  and  that 
Michigan's  quarter  and  fullback  had 
been  able  to  play  their  best  game. 
What  a  game  that  would  have  been! 


Modern  football 
FORWARD  PASSES  promises  t  o  justify 
AND  KICKS  its   name  again.     At 

least  the  implication 
of  a  certain  amount  of  progress  by  the 
aerial  route  is  fulfilled  through  the  in- 
creasing use  of  the  forward  pass  and 
the  recent  emphasis  on  the  drop  kick 
and  punt,  even  though  all  of  these 
were  conspicuous  by  their  absence 
from  the  Michigan  offence  in  the  Har- 
vard game.  Where  once  all  was  weight 
and  heavy  mass  plays,  a  few  years 
have  brought  us  to  another  type  of 
game.  flt  There  may  have  been 
more  science  and  finer  points  for 
the  critics  to  discuss  at  length  in 
the  pounding  type  of  play,  but 
surely  a  game  calling  for  resource 
and  versatility,  wit  and  accuracy  is 
fundamentally  better.  Now  the  em- 
phasis on  speed  at  least  equals  that  on 
weight.  There  was,  of  course,  a  cer- 
tain impressiveness  in  the  erstwhile 
battering  ram  as  it  pounded  down  the 
field  three  downs  at  a  time,  or  two 
downs  and  a  kick,  if  the  offensive 
weight  was  insufficient.  But  it  was 
not  interesting  to  the  average  specta- 
tor. It  was  not  always  inspiring  even 
to  the  initiated.  The  change  to  four 
downs  in  ten  yards,  and  the  first  tenta- 
tive introduction  of  the  forward  pass 
did  not  change  the  game  at  once. 
€C  But  further  changes  in  the  rules, 
and  at  least  one  season  of  trying  them 
out  has  worked  the  reformation.  New 


plays  w  hich  the  opening  of  the  present 
season  has  brought  to  greater  perfec- 
tion, mark  a  new  era.  While  the  strat- 
egy of  the  game  and  the  fundamental 
principles  of  attack  and  defense  are 
essentially  the  same,  the  tactics  are 
very  different.  The  heavy  plunge  of 
the  old-fashioned  flying  wedge  has 
given  place  to  a  speedier,  more  ag- 
gressive interference  —  and  the  for- 
ward pass.  It  is  all  to  the  great  ad- 
vantage of  the  spectator.  We  only 
wish  the  proposed  plan  for  numbering 
the  individual  players  might  be  gen- 
erally adopted.  Nothing  could  be  more 
pleasing  to  the  thousands  of  alumni 
who  only  have  an  opportunity  of  see- 
ing one  or  two  games  during  the  sea- 
son. 


CONCERNING 

COLLEGE 

STADIA 


The  article  in  last 
month's  Alumnus  on 
Michigan's  new  sta- 
d  i  u  m  as  compared 
with  those  now  in  course  of  erection 
elsewhere,  proves  a  timely  supplement 
to  a  well-illustrated  article  on  "The 
vStadium  and  College  Athletics"  by 
Lawrence  Perr)^  in  the  November 
Scribne/s.  Harvard,  Syracuse,  Yale, 
Princeton,  College  of  the  City  of  New 
York  and  the  high  school  at  Tacoma, 
Wash.,  each  have  one  of  these  big 
amphitheaters,  while  Columbia,  Cor- 
nell and  the  University  of  Washing- 
ton, in  addition  to  Michigan,  have 
them  building  or  projected.  OL  Quite 
rightly  the  author  of  the  article  sug- 
gests that  the  two  million  dollars  ex- 
pended on  these  structures  makes  the 
question  of  their  ultimate  usefulness  a 
proper  topic  for  discussion.  He  be- 
lieves that  they  stand  as  monuments 
to  the  importance  of  organized  ath- 
letic sports,  and  their  recognition  by 
the  college  authorities  who  place  them 
on  an  organized  basis  as  the  only  way 
of  proper  control.  The  defense  for  the 
erection  of  these  structures  against

they  place  over-emphasis  upon  sport

as  related  to  university  life,  is  that,  af- 
ter all,  they  do  not  create  that  condi- 
tion, but  they  are  the  logical  results 
of  it.  CD^The  author  maintains  also  that 
intercollegiate  sports  have  not  grown 
out  of  proi>ortion  to  college  life,  but 
have  grown  with  the  size  and  imi>ort- 
ance  of  the  universities  themselves, 
and  that  the  ratio  has  been  equably 
maintained.  While  perhaps  there  are 
some  who  might  not  agree  with  this 
statement,  there  are  few  who  will  not 
acknowledge  that,  in  the  face  of  two 
alternatives,  the  abolition  of  major  in- 
tercollegiate contests,  or  the  handling 
of  them  in  an  adequate  and  broad- 
minded  way,  the  proper  solution  is  to 
be  found  in  the  erection  of  these  great 
structures.  Particularly  is  this  so 
when,  as  in  the  case  of  Michigan,  the 
final  completion  of  the  stadium  rests 
with  the  ultimate  demand.  The  great 
justification  for  the  expenditure  of  so 
much  money  is  that  they  are  bound  to 
pay  for  themselves  in  a  short  time,  and 
to  do  away,  once  for  all  with  the  great 
annual  waste,  inevitable  with  tempor- 
ary stands. 


While  the  effects  of 
UNION  CAMPAIGN  the  great  war  now 
POSTPONED  being  waged  are  not 

very  immediate  as  far 
as  the  University  is  concerned,  in  one 
place  it  has  had  its  serious  effects.  The 
campaign  for  the  new  clubhouse  for 
the  Michigan  Union  has  been  post- 
poned indefinitely.  This  action  is  par- 
ticularly unfortunate  because  the  or- 
ganization of  the  campaign  was  prac- 
tically completed.  Conmiittees  had 
been  appointed  all  over  the  United 
States  and  a  corps  of  general  repre- 
sentatives had  been  selected  to  meet 
with  the  alumni.  All  this  machinery 
is  of  course  now  made  partially  use- 
less, for  the  present  at  least.  C^  There 
is  a  fortunate  side,  however,  in  so  far 
as  the  campaign  had  proceeded  no 
farther.  It  might  have  been  much 
more  difficult  to  drop,  once  progress 


had  been  made  beyond  a  certain  point. 
The  first  solicitors  in  the  field  sent 
back  reports  which  indicated  an  in- 
creasing hesitation  to  undertake  the 
campaign,  on  the  part  of  local  commit- 
tees, while  tel^^ms  from  the  alumni 
association  in  New  York  and  other 
eastern  cities  emphasized  the  necessity 
for  prompt  action,  which  was  accord- 
ingly taken,  to  the  great  regret  of  ev- 
everyone  interested.  OI^This  postpone- 
ment, however,  does  not  mean  the 
abandonment  of  the  idea.  The  organi- 
zation is  ready,  and  the  campaign  will 
proceed  as  soon  as  the  financial  situa- 
tion of  the  country  warrants  an  ag- 
gressive effort.  Meanwhile,  the 
details  of  the  organization  will  be  per- 
fected, and  the  Union  will  undoubted- 
ly be  that  much  stronger.  The  present 
year  shows  no  diminution  in  the  stu- 
dent constituency.  The  membership  is 
2,500  as  against  2,670  for  last  year  at 
the  present  time.  While  this  total 
seems  somewhat  smaller,  it  must  be 
remembered  that  there  are  in  addition 
a  hundred  and  fifty  odd  life  members 
who  were  included  in  last  year's 
total,  so  that  the  net  result  is  a  gain 
for  the  present  year. 

EVENT  IN  BRIEF 

A  "Band  Bounce,"  held  the  week 
before  the  game  in  Hill  Auditorium, 
made  it  possible  for  the  Band  to  ac- 
company the  team  to  Cambridge. 
Nearly  $1,200  was  realized,  enough  to 
send  forty  members  of  the  organiza- 
tion, and  Mr.  S.  J.  Hoexter,  Faculty 
director. 

Fourteen  women  students  are  en- 
rolled this  year  in  the  Engineering 
Department  of  the  University.  Two 
of  these  are  members  of  the  senior 
class,  one  is  a  junior,  three  are  sopho- 
mores, and  eight  are  freshmen.  Just 
half  of  the  women  are  entered  in  the 
Department  of  Architecture,  while  the 
remaining  seven  are  taking  the  regu- 
lar engineering  work.

To  take  care  of  the  six  thousand 
odd  students  at  the  University,  there 
are  now  in  Ann  Arbor  approximately 
1,100  student  rooming  houses,  and  53 
student  boarding  houses.  In  addition, 
there  are  at  the  present  time  62  fra- 
ternities, sororities  and  house  clubs, 
with  accommodations  for  about  1,500 
members. 

Karl  W.  Zimmerschied,  '03,  M.S. 
'04,  opened  the  series  of  lectures  to  be 
given  this  year  by  the  Chemical  En- 
gineering Branch  of  the  Engineering 
Society  with  an  address  on  "The  Re- 
lation of  Metallurgy  to  Mechanics"  on 
October  20.  Mr.  Zimmerschied  was 
instructor  in  metallurgy  and  quantita- 
tive analysis  in  the  University  from 
1905  to  191 1,  and  is  now  chief  metal- 
lurgist for  the  General  Motors  Com- 
pany of  Detroit. 

In  connection  with  the  University 
Extension  work,  fourteen  secretaries 
of  civic  associations  from  various 
cities  in  the  State  met  in  Ann  Arbor 
on  October  17,  to  listen  to  a  lecture  by 
Professor  David  Friday,  of  the  Eco- 
nomics Department.  It  is  planned  to 
hold  similar  meetings  on  the  third  Sat- 
urday in  each  month,  when  lectures 
by  different  members  of  the  Faculty 
on  civic  problems  will  be  given.  Pro- 
fessor Reeves,  of  the  Political  Science 
Department,  will  deliver  the  next  lec- 
ture on  Saturday,  November  21. 

David  B.  McLaughlin,  grandson  of 
President  Emeritus  Angell,  and*  son 
of  Professor  Andrew  C.  McLaughlin, 
'82,  '85/,  A.M.  (hon,)  '96,  died  in  Chi- 
cago  on  October  16,  from  injuries  re- 
ceived last  summer  while  diving.  He 
was  a  student  in  the  University  of 
Chicago.  Professor  McLaughlin  oc- 
cupied the  chair  of  American  His- 
tory in  the  University  from  1891  to 
1906,  when  he  resigned  to  accept  a 
professorship  in  History  at  the  Uni- 
versity of  Chicago.  Interment  was 
made  in  the  Forest  Hill  Cemetery, 
Ann  Arbor. 


Dean  M.  E.  Cooley,  of  the  Engi- 
neering Department  was  appointed  by 
President  Hutchins  as  the  official 
representative  of  the  University 
at  the  Michigan  smoker  in  Boston  on 
the  eve  of  the  Harvard-Michigan 
game.  President  Hutchins  had  plan- 
ned to  be  present,  but  the  date  con- 
flicted with  the  annual  meeting  of  the 
Michigan  State  Teachers'  Association 
in  Lansing. 

Eight  cases  containing  porcelain 
ware  for  the  Chemical  Laboratory  and 
a  few  supplies  for  the  Botanical  De- 
partment have  been  received  by  the 
University  out  of  the  four  or  five  hun- 
dred ordered  last  March.  They  have 
been  in  an  insured  warehouse  in  Ham- 
burg since  the  outbreak  of  the  war, 
waiting  for  the  first  opportunity  to 
ship.  The  cases  came  by  way  of  Cop- 
enhagen, Denmark. 

A  special  tax  to  pay  the  expenses 
caused  by  the  injuries  received  by 
Russell  Jacobs,  *i8,  when  he  was  hazed 
on  the  night  of  October  2,  has  been 
levied  on  all  the  sophomore  classes, 
by  action  of  the  Student  Council.  With 
one  wrist  broken  and  the  other  sprain- 
ed, the  freshman  has  been  forced  to 
return  to  his  home  in  Coshocton,  Ohio, 
and  will  probably  miss  a  semester's 
work  in  the  University. 

On  account  of  alterations  in  the  ad- 
ministration of  the  scholarship  sys- 
tem at  Oxford  University,  the  trus- 
tees of  the  fund  have  changed  the 
method  of  selecting  Rhodes  scholars 
throughout  the*  United  States.  In  the 
past,  scholars  have  been  elected  from 
all  the  states  for  two  successive  years, 
while  in  the  third  year  none  were 
chosen.  According  to  the  new  ar- 
rangements, the  elections  will  be 
spread  over  three  years,  the  scholars 
being  selected  from  thirty-two  states 
each  year.  For  this  purpose,  the  for- 
ty-eight states  have  been  divided  into 
three  groups  of  sixteen  each.

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[November 


Work  was  commenced  early  in  Oc- 
tober on  the  construction  of  a  new 
bath  house  for  the  Michigan  Union 
Boat  Club,  under  the  direction  of  Al- 
lan T.  Ricketts,  '15^,  Plainfield,  N.  J., 
president  of  the  Student  Council.  It 
will  be  located  just  north  of  Tesse- 
mer's  boat  house.  The  Boat  Club  also 
plans  to  make  extensive  improvements 
in  the  beach,  and  to  dynamite  the  ruins 
of  the  dam  near  the  old  mill,  where 
the  majority  of  the  accidents  have  oc- 
curred. 

The  following  nine  men,  seniors  in 
the  Law  Department,  have  been  added 
to  the  staff  of  the  Michigan  Law  Re- 
view  for  the  coming  year:  John  G. 
Cedergren,  North  Branch,  Minn.; 
Charles  Davidson,  Great  Falls,  Mont. ; 
Arend  V.  Dubee,  Beloit,  Wis.;  Her- 
bert H.  Harshman,  Manistique; 
Charles  J.  Hilkey,  Scranton,  Kans. ; 
Buell  McCash,  Bloomfield,  la. ;  Leslie 
C.  McClelland,  Calumet ;  Karl  J. 
Mohr,  Pekin,  111.;  and  Henry  Rott- 
schaefer,  Ann  Arbor.  The  staff  is 
now  complete,  fifteen  of  the  student 
editors  having  been  elected  last  spring. 

Owing  to  the  fact  that  the  old  Hom- 
oeopathic Building  was  torn  down  last 
spring  to  make  way  for  the  new  Sci- 
ence Building,  the  Homoeopathic  De- 
partment has  been  transferred  to  sev- 
eral buildings  which  have  been  fitted 
up  for  temporary  quarters  pending 
the  construction  of  the  new  building 
on  the  Homoeopathic  Hospital  quad- 
rangle. In  the  Prettyman  house  just 
west  of  the  Dental  Building  a  nurses' 
home  has  been  provided,  which  con- 
tains eighteen  rooms  for  the  accom- 
modation of  a  part  of  the  training 
school,  and  a  large  lecture  room  for 
the  use  of  the  College.  Immediately 
north  of  this  building,  the  maternity 
annex  of  the  Homoeopathic  Hospital 
has  been  housed,  with  a  new  operating 
room  for  septic  cases  exclusively.  The 
clinical  laboratory,  which  has  hereto- 
fore been  located  in  the  basement  of 


the  Hospital,  has  been  removed  to  a 
building  arranged  for  its  special  ac- 
commodation, and  the  brick  house  for- 
merly occupied  by  the  nurses  has  been 
fitted  up  as  an  administration  building, 
where  are  located  the  offices  of  the 
Dean,  Registrar  and  Secretary.  Ac- 
commodations for  one  hospital  interne 
and  for  other  Hospital  relief  are  also 
provided  in  this  building.  The  com- 
plete plant  under  the  control  of  the 
Homoeopathic  Faculty  now  numbers 
eight  different  structures,  including 
the  two  tuberculosis  shacks,  and  the 
Department  has  never  been  so  well 
equipped  for  carrying  on  its  work. 

The  second  annual  Convocation  Day 
was  set  for  Friday  afternoon,  October 
16.  Although  a  downpour  of  rain  pre- 
vented the  procession  of  Faculty  and 
students  around  the  Campus,  Hill  Au- 
ditorium was  well  filled  for  the  exer- 
cises. After  the  organ  prelude  by 
Professor  A.  A.  Stanley,  the  invoca- 
tion by  Professor  Emeritus  M.  L. 
D'Ooge,  and  an  address  of  welcome 
by  President  Harry  B.  Hutchins,  Dean 
Victor  C.  Vaughan,  of  the  Medical 
Department,  the  speaker  of  the  day, 
talked  on  "The  Nature  and  Purpose 
of  Education."  The  program  closed 
with  the  singing  of  'The  Yellow  and 
the  Blue." 

Presidents  of  the  classes  which  held 
elections  during  the  past  month  have 
been. chosen  as  follows:  Senior  liter- 
ary: Harry  G.  Gault,  Flint;  junior 
literary:  George  P.  McMahon,  De- 
troit; sophomore  literary:  Willis  D. 
Nance,  Chicago,  111.;  sophomore  en- 
gineers :  George  A.  Scheibel,  Holyoke, 
Mass. ;  senior  medical :  Ezra  E.  Koeb- 
be,  Manchester;  junior  medical:  John 
O.  Dieterle,  Ann  Arbor;  senior  law: 
Charles  W.  Burton,  Edwardsville,  111. ; 
senior  dental:  Warren  P.  Gibson, 
Brent  Creek;  junior  dental:  Roy  E. 
Moran,  Pindcney ;  senior  homoeopath- 
ic: Robert  H.  Criswell,  Quincy,  111.; 
junior  homoeopathic:  Camp  C.  Thom-

pathic: Dwight  G.  Estabrooke,  Day- 
ton, O. ;  senior  architectural :  Samuel 
L.  Holmes,  Jr.,  Detroit ;  junior  archi- 
tectural, Roland  S.  Westbrook,  Sa- 
vannah, N.  Y. ;  sophomore  architec- 
tural: Frederick  J.  Kolb,  Monroe. 

It  has  been  announced  by  Superin- 
tendent of  Buildings  and  Grounds  J.H. 
Marks,  '08^,  that  the  new  Power  Plant 
of  the  University  will  be  ready  for 
work  in  the  early  part  of  December. 
Two  days  will  be  set  aside  for  the 
formal  opening  and  public  inspection 
of  the  new  building  when  every  detail 
has  been  completed.  The  new  plant 
is  as  modem  as  that  of  any  other  uni- 
versity in  the  country,  and  ranks  far 
above  those  in  use  at  most  of  the  other 
schools.  It  is  estimated  that  the  plant 
will  consume  between  13,000  and 
15,000  tons  of  coal  a  year,  and  will 
heat  2,500  gallons  of  water  an  hour. 
The  coal  is  shipped  directly  to  the  door 
of  the  building  by  a  spur  track  from 
the  Michigan  Central.  The  cost  of  the 
plant  is  $430,000. 

Professor  A.  G.  Ruthven,  Profes- 
sor of  Zoology  and  Curator  of  the 
University  Museum,  and  Mr.  Freder- 
ick M.  Gaige,  '14,  assistant  in  the  Mu- 
seum, returned  this  fall  from  an  ex- 
pedition on  the  Demerara  River  in 
British  Guiana  with  a,  collection  of 
great  value,  espyecially  to  research 
workers  on  the  staff  and  to  graduate 
students.  Professor  Ruthven  and  Mr. 
Gaige  left  Ann  Arbor  late  in  June, 
and  encamped  with  six  natives  on  the 
Demerara  River,  about  thirty  miles 
from  the  coast.  The  country  was  cov- 
ered with  a  dense  jungle,  the  land  was 
so  low  and  wet  that  they  waded  in 
mud  constantly,  and  it  rained  practic- 
ally every  day.  As  a  result  of  this  cli- 
mate. Professor  Ruthven  was  taken  ill 
with  a  jungle  fever,  similar  to  that 
which  overcame  Mr.  Roosevelt  on  his 
Brazilian  trip,  and  is  still  feeling  the 
effects  of  the  attack. 


Professor  Fred  N.  Scott,  '84,  A.M. 
'88,  Ph.D.  '89,  head  of  the  Rhetoric 
Department,  has  presented  to  the  Uni- 
versity I^ibrary  a  large  memorial  vol- 
ume of  Groningen,  Holland,  which 
was  published  to  commemorate  the 
celebration  of  the  three  hundredth  an- 
niversary of  the  founding  of  Gronin- 
gen University.  It  is  written  in  the 
Dutch  language,  and  contains  a  his- 
tory of  Groningen  University,  with 
photographs  and  descriptions  of  the 
art  collections  at  the  University.  Pro- 
fessor Scott  secured  the  volume  while 
he  was  attending  the  celebration  as  a 
special  representative  of  the  Univer- 
sity of  Michigan. 

Michigan  has  not  only  the  largest 
wireless  station  of  any  of  the  univer- 
sities of  the  country,  but  also  the  larg- 
est of  any  kind  in  the  Great  Lakes 
region.  It  is  of  a  ten  killowat  installa- 
tion, while  the  wireless  station  at  De- 
troit, the  largest  commercial  station  in 
this  region,  is  only  a  two  killowatt  sta- 
station.  Michigan's  set  cannot  com- 
pare, however,  with  those  of  the  big 
transatlantic  stations,  which  have  a 
one  hundred  and  fifty  killowatt  instal- 
lation. The  University  station  is  well 
known  about  the  country,  and  many 
letters  are  received  during  the  year 
from  commercial  and  amateur  opera- 
tors who  have  succeeded  in  picking  up 
the  calls  of  the  station.  The  station 
has  a  regular  operator,  Dudley  A. 
Nichols,  '18^,  Wapakoneta,  Ohio,  and 
it  is  hoped  that  two  assistants  can  be 
secured  for  him.  In  that  case,  the  sta- 
tion would  be  open  every  night  dur- 
ing the  school  year. 

Madame  Johanna  Gadski,  of  the 
Metropolitan  Opera  Company,  opened 
the  Choral  Union  concert  series  on 
Wednesday,  October  28,  with  a  recital 
in  Hill  Auditorium.  The  program  for 
the  year  includes  a  concert  by  the  Phil-

"ALBION    POINTS  A  WAV 

The  very  interesting  proposal  for  a  correlation  of  courses  between 
Albion  College  and  the  Engineering  School  of  the  University  is  noted  in  the 
report  of  the  Regents*  meeting  for  October.  Apropos  of  this  plan  the 
Detroit  Tribune  for  Sunday,  November  i,  1914,  publishes  the  following  edi- 
torial : 

Closer  working  connection  among  the  finishing  schools  conducted  by  the  state 
is  the  dream  of  advanced  educators  in  Michigan,  and  men  that  have  a  hand  in  the 
state's  government  have  spoken  words  in  recommendation  of  a  change.  The  point  of 
view  of  the  educators  is  that  of  increased  efficiency  in  education,  that  of  the  states- 
men the  removal  of  the  evil  of  duplication  in  work  as  among  the  various  institutions 
— for  duplication  spells  unnecessary  expense  and  a  tax  that  might  by  so  much  be 
reduced. 

None  of  the  arguments  for  closer  correlation  of  the  University  with  the  technical 
colleges  and  the  normal  schools  have  glanced  at  the  denominational  colleges  to  bring 
them  into  the  plan.  From  the  point  of  view  of  the  man  interested  in  the  economies 
of  the  case  they  lie  apart,  because  they  are  denominational  and  any  new  program  that 
made  for  economy  for  them  would  not  affect  the  state  tax  rate.  Those  persons  who 
are  interested  in  the  educational  phase  of  the  plan  will  note  probably  with  satisfaction 
that  one  of  the  denominational  colleges  has  taken  a  step  which  brings  these  privately 
conducted  institutions  into  consideration. 

Albion,  largest  of  the  denominational  colleges  in  Michigan  in  respect  to  enrolled 
students,  has  arranged  an  engineering  course  which,  by  consent  of  the  University 
Regents,  becomes,  in  fact,  a  University  course.  It  is  to  be  a  five-year  course,  the  last 
two  years  of  instruction  to  be  taken  at  Ann  Arbor.  Presumably  the  three  years  at 
Albion  will  be  devoted  to  the  generalities  of  the  subject  and  the  finishing  period 
under  Professor  Cooley  and  his  staff  will  be  almost  if  not  wholly  technical. 

Graduates  of  this  curriculum  probably  will  not  attempt  to  advance  the  claim 
of  preparedness  for  practical  work  that  graduates  of  the  grinding,  thorough  engineer- 
ing courses  of  the  University  can  claim.  It  is  understood,  nevertheless,  that  they  will 
attain  to  the  "B.S.,  Mich."  Michigan  graduate  engineers  are  accounted  among  the 
best  in  the  country.  Those  who  come  up  from  Albion  and  graduate,  however,  ought 
to  attain  a  standing  that  will  be  superior  to  that  derived  from  graduation  at  a  good 
many  other  engineering  colleges  of  good  repute. 

If  the  chief  benefit  from  this  new  arrangement  appears  to  redound  more  to  the 
benefit  of  the  Albion  institution  than  to  the  University  the  fact  is  offset  by  the  more 
important  fact  that  the  state  institution  is  to  perform  a  substantial  service  in  educa- 
tion for  some  of  its  citizens.  The  arrangement  between  the  governors  of  the  two 
institutions  reflects  credit  upon  both  and  promises  much  by  way  of  example.  If  the 
boards  of  control  of  various  state  institutions  were  to  fall  into  the  spirit  of  the  plan 
it  might  be  that  co-ordination  in  work  among  the  state  colleges  and  the  university 
could  in  large  measure  be  brought  about  without  waiting  on  legislatures  and  laws  to 
compel  the  improvement.

1914I  THE  HARVARD  GAME  73 

HARVARD^  7;  MICHIGAN,  0 

Michigan's  first  game  with  Harvard  in  nineteen  years  resulted  prac- 
tically the  same  as  the  last  previous  contest  between  the  two  universities — 
a  victory  for  the  Cambridge  eleven  by  one  touchdown.  There  was,  however, 
one  decided  difference  between  the  performances  of  the  two  Michigan  teams. 
In  1895  the  Wolverines  went  east  with  a  veteran  team,  expecting  to  win ; 
this  time  it  was  a  green  outfit  that  upheld  the  maize  and  blue,  and  the  fight- 
ing spirit  exhibited  by  Captain  Raynsford  and  his  men  under  adverse  cir- 
cumstances was  such  as  to  make  every  student  and  alumnus  more  proud 
than  they  have  been  in  many  a  victory. 

It  was  a  noteworthy  achievement  to  hold  the  veteran  crimson  team — 
without  Brickley,  Mahan  and  Pennock  though  it  was — as  Michigan  held  it, 
really  forcing  the  fighting  for  over  half  the  game,  and  gaining  considerably 


SPLAWN   MAKING  AN   ON-SIDB   KICK 

The  picture  shows  how  close  to  the  line  of  scrimmage  he  stood 
The  ball  is  in  the  air  in  front  of  him 

more  yardage  than  was  covered  by  the  home  eleven.  And  the  feat  means 
even  more  when  we  consider  that,  much  as  Harvard  missed  her  three  stars, 
Michigan  was  seriously  crippled  by  the  injuries  to  Hughitt  and  Splawn, 
suffered  in  the  M.  A.  C.  and  Syracuse  games  respectively.  Both  these  men 
were  able  to  last  through  the  contest,  it  is  true,  but  Michigan's  plan  of 
battle  had  been  of  necessity  entirely  altered  by  reason  of  their  condition. 
Coach  Yost  knew  that  neither  of  them  was  likely  to  stand  severe  pounding ; 
consequently  he  laid  out  a  policy  of  attack  which  kept  them  out  of  the  inter- 
ference almost  entirely,  and  allowed  them  to  run  with  the  ball  but  little. 
Thus  much  of  the  time  Michigan's  offense  was  carried  out  by  nine  men 
only,  and  one  does  not  need  to  be  an  expert  to  realize  what  a  handicap  this 
was. 

In  another  respect  than  the  one  mentioned,  the  game  was  like  that  of

74  THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS  [November 


HARDWICK  (at  the  right  of  the  goal  i>08t)  MAKING  HARVARD'S  TOUCHDOWN 
The  picture  shows  how  Michigan's  line  was  opened  for  the  play 

nineteen  years  ago,  little  thinking,  no  doubt,  that  the  story  would  be  repeated. 
But  it  was,  though  it  be  said  in  no  spirit  of  fault-finding.  In  contrast  to 
Michigan,  Harvard  accepted  her  one  opportunity  to  score — and  won  the 
game  thereby.  It  would  be  unfair  to  the  winning  eleven  to  withhold  credit 
for  that  achievement.  Equally  would  it  be  unfair  to  the  Michigan  players 
to  condemn  them  for  what  they  did  not  do  in  the  face  of  what  they  did  do. 

To  review  the  game  briefly  by  quarters:  the  first,  with  the  wind  and 
sun  in  the  Harvard  men's  faces,  was  all  in  Michigan's  favor.  The  visitors' 
attack  seemed  to  take  the  easterners,  experienced  though  they  were,  by  sur- 
prise, and  Michigan  here  had  her  first  chance  to  score.  Fine  plunging  by 
Maulbetsch  and  Lyons,  despite  the  infliction  of  penalties,  had  carried  the 
ball  to  the  three-yard  line,  Maulbetsch  almost  getting  across  on  the  last  run. 
An  open  play  then  resulted  in  a  loss,  and  on  last  down  what  appeared  to  the 
spectators  at  large  to  be  a  repetition  of  a  double  pass — which  had  succeeded 
shortly  before,  was  a  failure,  and  the  ball  went  over  on  downs.  It  was  really 
a  forward  pass  play,  but  the  signal  was  missed,  and  Splawn's  effort  to  run 
with  the  ball  was  foiled. 

In  the  second  quarter  Harvard  used  the  wind  skillfully,  and  when  well 
into  Michigan's  territory  worked  a  beautiful  forward  pass,  Hardwick  to 
Smith.  Shortly  after  this  the  versatile  Hardwick  carried  the  ball  over  on  a 
straight  drive  which  found  the  Michigan  line  wide  open,  the  Wolverines 
having  guessed  wrong  by  anticipating  the  usual  Harvard  split  formation. 

The  third  quarter  was  decidedly  Michigan's,  though  Harvard  had  the 
wind.    Maulbetsch  showed  a  streak  of  ground-gaining  that  for  consistency

and  sustained  power  would  be  hard  to  equal.  He  took  the  ball  on  play  after 
play,  finally  placing  it  on  Harvard's  five-yard  line,  where,  with  one  yard  to 
go  for  first  down,  the  sturdy  halfback  was  sent  at  the  Crimson  flank,  where 
Trumbull  and  Hardwick  were  stationed.  He  couldn't  gain  a  foot,  and  the 
ball  went  over.    It  was  the  last  opportunity  for  Michigan. 

Harvard  played  for  time  in  the  last  quarter,  but  at  the  same  time  uncov- 
ered the  most  impressive  attack  she  showed  during  the  contest,  Hardwick 
and  the  giant  Francke  playing  havoc  with  the  Wolverine  forwards.  The 
final  whistle  ended  play  just  after  a  forward  pass  had  placed  the  ball  on 
Michigan's  25-yard  line. 

Taking  the  game  as  a  whole,  I  would  say  that  Harvard  had  the  edge 
as  far  as  strategy  was  concerned,  and  in  some  respects  showed  the  gfreater 
football  knowledge,  man  for  man,  which  last  is  hardly  to  be  wondered  at 
when  it  is  remembered  that  seven  of  the  Crimson  players  are  three-year  men, 
while  only  four  of  the  Wolverines  won  their  "M's"  last  season,  and  but  one 
of  these — Hughitt — was  playing  the  same  position  he  filled  in  1913. 

On  offense,  strange  as  it  may  seem,  Michigan  was  more  conservative 
than  the  easterners.  Hughitt  called  for  but  one  forward  pass,  in  addition  to 
the  one  which  wasn't  played  through,  while  Harvard  used  four,  making  three 
of  them  good.  Both  teams  showed  good  strength  at  straight  football,  Maul- 
betsch,  Hardwick  and  Francke  being  the  outstanding  figures  in  this  respect. 
I  think  most  of  the  spectators  would  agree  that  of  the  three,  Maulbetsch 
was  the  most  impressive.  He  had  to  bear  by  far  the  greater  share  of  the 
burden  for  Michigan,  as  against  the  Crimson's  star  pair,  who  were  given 
some  assistance  also  by  Logan  and  Bradlee,  yet  he  very  rarely  failed  to  gain. 
Captain  Brickley  paid  him  what  is  a  great  compliment,  coming  from  a  Har- 
vard man,  when  he  compared  his  style  of  running  to  that  T3f  the  former 
Harvard  fullback,  Percy  Wendell,  who  was  selected  for  two  or  three  All- 
American  elevens  by  Walter  Camp. 

All  the  credit,  however,  should  not  go  to  Maulbetsch.  The  Michigan 
forwards,  decidedly  green  in  comparison  to  the  Harvard  linemen,  did  some 
splendid  work,  bending  back  the  Crimson  wall,  and  blocking  oflf  the  men  in 
grand  style.  During  Michigan's  marches  down  the  field  the  Harvard  tack- 
les were  given  severe  treatment.  Benton,  in  his  first  big  game,  repeatedly 
put  the  veteran  Trumbull  out  of  plays,  and  Staatz  was  also  eflfective  in  this 
way. 

Harvard's  running  oflfense  consisted  largely  of  the  split  play  through 
the  middle  of  the  line.  Toward  the  end  of  the  fourth  quarter  Michigan  left 
the  center  open  to  this  attack,  instead  of  shutting  it  oflf  by  moving  a  man 
up  from  the  secondary  defense,  and  it  looked  once  or  twice  as  if  big  Francke 
would  get  loose.  On  one  play  particularly,  he  broke  through  with  two  or 
three  of  his  team-mates  ahead  of  him,  but  either  stumbled  or  was  tripped  by  a 
Michigan  player  trying  to  tackle  him.  With  the  aid  of  his  interference,  he 
seemed  likely  on  that  play  to  get  past  Hughitt,  but  fortune  was  with  Mich- 
igan for  the  moment. 

Harvard's  forward  passes  were  beautifully  executed,  the  end  running 
diagonally  to  a  point  directly  down  the  field  from  the  place  of  scrimmage.

1914]  THE  HARVARD  GAME  77 

Hardwick  threw  the  ball  swiftly,  and  one  catch  at  least,  that  by  Smith  pre- 
ceding Harvard's  score,  was  unusually  difficult.  The  ball  came  low,  and 
the  Crimson  end  scooped  it  off  his  shoestrings  in  regular  Ty  Cobb  fashion. 
Hughitt,  who  was  coming  up  behind  him,  was  nearer  than  any  other  Michi- 
gan man,  but  had  absolutely  no  chance  to  intercept  the  pass. 

Neither  side  did  much  end-running,  Hughitt  and  Splawn  failing  two 
or  three  times,  while  Hardwick  made  a  couple  of  gains.  The  Harvard  ends 
looked  very  good  on  breaking  up  this  sort  of  thing,  and  in  general  play. 

The  kicking  honors  were  rather  in  Harvard's  favor,  Francke  showing 
unexpected  ability  in  this  direction.  Splawn  got  his  punts  oflf  more  quickly 
than  in  some  of  the  earlier  games,  and  had  none  blocked.  He  sent  some 
long  spirals  down  the  field,  but  his  average  was  not  quite  as  good  as  that  of 
his  opponents,  who  also  placed  their  kicks  finely.  One  from  behind  the  goal 
line  was  a  particularly  beautiful  piece  of  work,  setting  Michigan  back  prac- 
tically to  the  center  of  the  field. 

Many  spectators  were  puzzled  as  to  why  Michigan  allowed  the  Harvard 
punts  to  drop.  It  was  partly  on  account  of  the  treacherous  air  currents  in 
the  stadium,  which  make  the  ball  do  very  queer  things,  but  possibly  even 
more  for  the  purpose  of  saving  Hughitt.  As  a  matter  of  fact,  the  scheme 
woriced  out  pretty  well,  as  the  ball  a  number  of  times  bounded  back  many 
yards  toward  the  Harvard  goal  after  striking  the  ground. 

The  tackling  on  both  sides  was  pretty  sharp,  though  on  a  few  occasions 
Michigan  men  seized  the  runner  too  high.  More  penalties  were  inflicted  on 
the  Wolverines  than  on  the  home  eleven,  and  some  few  of  the  Michigan  en- 
thusiasts were  inclined  to  charge  partiality,  but  Coach  Yost  had  no  com- 
plaint to  make  on  that  score,  saying  that  he  thought  the  work  of  the  officials 
very  high  class. 

The  defensive  play  of  both  teams  brought  individuals  into  the  lime- 
light. Reimann  put  up  a  stalwart  game  at  tackle,  and  Captain  Raynsford 
did  some  very  effective  plugging  of  the  holes  in  the  line,  from  his  position 
behind  it.  For  Harvard  Weston  spoiled  a  niunber  of  Michigan  plays,  and 
Bradlee,  backing  up  the  line,  tackled  Maulbetsch  time  after  time  after  the 
latter  was  cleanly  past  the  Crimson  forwards. 

It  was  quite  laughable  to  hear  the  Boston  people,  even  including  some 
who  ought  to  have  known  better,  talk  about  their  disappointment  because 
Michigan  didn't  "uncork  anything."  They  evidently  expected  to  see  a  lot 
of  evolutions  and  gyrations  that  would  fairly  make  the  spyectators  dizzy 
looking  at  them.  The  more  astute  may  have  figured  out  by  now  that  west- 
em  and  eastern  football  aren't  so  different,  after  all,  while  the  other  sort 
are  probably  much  mystified  still. 

The  occasion  as  a  whole  was  one  that  will  be  memorable  in  Michigan 
athletic  annals.  The  five  hundred  or  so  enthusiasts  from  Ann  Arbor,  Chi- 
cago and  Detroit,  augmented  by  hundreds  of  loyal  alumni  from  the  East, 
made  a  fine  showing  in  the  stadium,  even  though  vastly  outnumbered  in  the 
crowd  of  some  25,000.  Michigan's  cheering  was  magnificent,  and  the  hearty 
response  to  leader  "Hap"  Haff's  calls  for  "yea's"  for  injured  Harvard 
players  seemed  much  appreciated  by  the  home  spectators.

78  THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS  [November 

The  Varsity  Band,  in  uniform,  with  yellow  lined  capyes,  was  applauded 
to  the  echo,  both  before  the  game,  during  the  intermission  and  at  the  end, 
when  it  led  the  Michigan  crowd  in  a  march  around  the  field  to  show  Har- 
vard that  there  were  no  "sore  spots"  and  to  indicate  deserved  appreciation 
of  the  defeated  team's  game  fight. 

The  spirit  on  both  sides  was  most  friendly  and  creditable  in  every  way, 
and  it  was  generally  felt  that  the  two  universities  had  gone  far  toward  ce- 
menting their  former  friendship.  There  was  talk  after  the  game — unofficial 
talk,  of  course — that  Michigan  would  play  in  Cambridge  again  next  year, 
and  that  Harvard  would  come  to  Ann  Arbor  in  1916.  Some  skeptics  doubt 
this  latter,  on  the  ground  that  it  is  distinctly  against  Harvard's  traditional 
policy,  but  there  are  many  who  think  it  may  work  out. 

Many  hospitalities  were  shown  the  visitors  by  the  Harvard  alumni  and 
students,  and  Coach  Yost  stated  that  he  had  never  made  a  trip  when  more 
careful  consideration  was  shown  for  the  comfort  of  the  team  by  the  athletic 
authorities. 

Mention  should  not  be  omitted  of  the  mass  meeting  at  the  Copley  Plaza 
Hotel  the  Friday  night  preceding  the  game.  This  was  in  charge  of  the  New 
England  alumni,  who  made  a  grtst  showing,  both  of  efficiency  and  enthusi- 
asm, on  this  occasion.  James  M.  Swift,  '95,  ex-attomey-general  of  Mass- 
achussetts,  presided,  and  Dean  Cooley  made  the  principal  talk,  in  his  inimita- 
ble style.  Other  speakers  were  James  O.  Murfin,  '95,  '96/,  of  Detroit,  "Bill" 
Day,  '00/,  of  Cleveland,  "Jimmy"  Baird,  'gSe,  of  Washington,  D.  C,  Hugh 
White,  '99,  *02/,  of  New  York,  William  T.  Whedon,  '81,  of  Norwood,  Mass., 
president  of  the  New  England  Alumni  Association,  Henry  J.  Killilea,  '85/, 
of  Milwaukee,  President  of  the  "M''  Club,  and  Coach  Yost.

Fewer  changes  than  usual  are  to  be  noticed  in  the  University  Faculty 
for  the  present  year.  Only  eleven  new  members  have  been  added  to  the 
Senate,  four  of  these  coming  to  the  University  from  other  positions,  while 
seven  are  promoted  from  the  rank  of  instructor  to  assistant  professorships. 
Professor  Thomas  J.  MacKavanagh  comes  to  the  University  from  the  Shaw- 
inigan  Technical  Institute  as  Assistant  Professor  of  Electrical  Engineering, 
while  Dr.  Rollo  E.  McCotter,  who  was  an  instructor  in  the  Medical  Depart- 
ment from  1909  to  1913,  has  been  called  from  Vanderbilt  University  to  fill 
the  vacancy  left  by  the  resignation  of  Dr.  George  L.  Streeter  as  Professor 
of  Anatomy  and  Director  of  the  Anatomical  Laboratory.  Mr.  James  Bart- 
lett  Edmonson,  the  new  State  Inspector  of  High  Schools,  is  of  senatorial 
rank,  as  is  Dr.  Alice  Evans,  who  takes  Miss  Catherine  Bigelow's  place  as 
Director  of  Physical  Education  in  Barbour  Gymnasium. 

Dr.  Hugh  M.  Beebe  was  appointed  last  spring  as  Professor  of  General 
Surgery  in  the  Homoeopathic  Department,  succeeding  Dr.  Dean  T.  Smith.

associated  with  the  recently  established  Homoeopathic  Department  of  Ohio 
State  University.  Professors  William  A.  Frayer  and  James  G.  Cumming 
are  also  absent  on  leave. 

Biographical  sketches  of  the  four  new  members  of  the  Faculty  follow : 

Professor  Albert  Ross  Bailey  entered  the  Literary  Department  of  the 
University  in  1899,  changing  in  1901  to  the  Engineering  Department.  In  the 
spring  of  1903  he  left  the  University  to  become  draftsman  and  levelman  for 
the  Lake  Shore  and  Michigan  Southern  Railway,  a  position  which  he  held 
until  March,  1905,  when  he  became  draftsman  for  the  New  York  Central 
and  Hudson  River  Railway.  In  August  of  that  same  year  he  accepted  a 
position  in  the  chief  engineer's  office  of  the  Baltimore  and  Ohio  Railway,  and 
in  January,  1906,  became  chief  draftsman  in  the  Maintenance  of  Way 
Department  of  the  Lake  Shore,  with  headquarters  at  Cleveland,  Ohio.  This 
position  he  held  for  three  years,  resigning  in  1909  to  come 'to  the  University 
as  instructor  in  Surveying.    He  is  now  Assistant  Professor  of  Surveying. 

James  Bartlett  Edmonson,  who  has  been  appointed  State  High  School 
Inspector  for  Michigan,  was  bom  in  Parkersburg,  Iowa,  December  28,  1882. 
Entering  the  University  in  1902,  he  was  graduated  with  the  degree  of  A.B. 
in  1906.  Six  years  later  he  received  his  master's  degree.  For  the  year  fol- 
lowing his  graduation  he  was  assistant  principal  of  the  high  school  at  Ionia, 
Mich.,  and  the  next  year  he  went  to  Hillsdale  as  principal  of  the  high  school. 
In  this  position  he  remained  for  two  years,  spending  the  year  1909-10  in 
Ann  Arbor  in  the  Graduate  Department.  During  1910-1911  he  served  as 
principal  of  the  Benton  Harbor  High  School,  going  to  Jackson  as  principal 
of  the  high  school  there  in  the  fall  of  191 1.  From  this  position  he  resigned

Solomon  Francis  Gingerich,  now  Assistant  Professor  of  English,  was

was  made  Professor  of  English  in  Goshen  College.  This  position  he  held 
until  1907.  In  1909,  after  receiving  his  doctor's  degree  from  Michigan,  he 
was  made  instructor  in  English  in  the  University,  and  the  following  year, 
1910,  he  returned  to  Goshen  College  as  Professor  of  English.  In  191 1,  he 
resumed  his  former  position  as  instructor  in  English  at  the  University, 
which  position  he  held  until  his  recent  promotion. 

Professor  Gingerich  is  the  author  of  two  books,  "Wordsworth :  A  Study 
in  Memory  and  Mysticism,"  and  "Wordsworth,  Tennyson  and  Browning: 
A  Study  in  Human  Freedom,"  which  was  published  in  191 1.  He  is 
married,  and  has  one  child,  two  years  old. 

George  McDonald  McConkey,  Assistant  Professor  of  Architecture, 
was  born  August  16,  1886.  He  was  graduated  from  the  University  of 
Michigan  in  1914,  with  the  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Architectural  Engineer- 
ing. From  1902  to  1905,  Professor  McConkey  was  employed  in  an  archi- 
tect's office  during  the  summer  vacations,  afternoons  and  Saturdays,  in 
Springfield,  Ohio,  and  during  his  period  of  work  with  the  Detroit  River 
Tunnel  Co.,  he  studied  under  private  instruction.  He  also  took  Freehand 
Drawing  at  the  Detroit  Art  School.  During  1905,  he  was  field  man  and 
draftsman  with  the  C.  C.  C.  &  St.  L.  Ry.,  Cincinnati  Division.  For  the 
next  four  years  he  was  an  engineering  draftsman  with  the  Detroit  River 
Tunnel  Co.,  Detroit,  Mich.,  and  the  year  1909-10  he  was  a  student  in 
Architectural  Engineering  at  the  University.  The  year  1910-11  he  spent 
as  structural  designer  in  several  architect's  offices,  and  in  191 1  he  became 
instructor  in  Architecture  at  the  University  in  courses  in  Mechanics  and 
Building  Construction,  the  position  he  held  until  his  promotion  to  the  assist- 
ant professorship. 

Professor  McConkey  was  married  four  years  ago  to  Miss  Eleanor  E. 
Eberle.    They  have  a  daughter,  six  months  old. 

Ralph  Robertson  Mellon,  who  becomes  Assistant  Professor  of  Physical 
Diagnosis  in  the  Homoeopathic  Medical  Department,  was  bom  on  February

City  College,  Pa.,  with  the  degree  of  B.S.,  and  in  1909  he  was  graduated 
from  the  Homoeopathic  Department  of  the  University.  He  received  the 
degree  of  Master  of  Science  in  1913.  Since  his  graduation  from  the

undergraduate  work  were  taken  at  Columbia  University.  For  the  two  years 
following  he  was  employed  by  the  Bell  Telephone  Company  in  St.  Louis, 
Mo.,  as  bookkeeper,  entering  the  University  in  the  fall  of  1907.  In  1909 
he  received  his  A.B.  degree,  and  in  191 1  the  degree  of  Master  of  Science  in

appointment  as  forest  assistant  on  the  Medicine  Bow  National  Forest, 
Laramie,  Wyo.  In  October  of  that  year  he  was  appointed  instructor  in 
forestry  at  the  University,  which  position  he  has  held  until  his  recent 
promotion.  The  summer  of  1912  he  returned  to  the  Medicine  Bow  National

84  THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS  [November 

TAPPAN  MANUSCRIPTS  IN  THE  UNIVER- 
SITY LIBRARY 

In  connection  with  the  placing  in  the  Alumni  Building,  last  June,  of  the 
memorial  tablet  to  our  first  president,  Henry  Philip  Tappan,  it  seems  fitting 
to  take  some  notice  of  his  unpublished  manuscripts  in  the  University  Lib- 
rary. 

After  Dr.  Tappan's  death  at  Vevey,  Switzerland,  in  1881,  the  manu- 
scripts came  into  the  possession  of  his  grandson.  Dr.  Rudolph  E.  Briinnow, 
Professor  of  Semitic  Philology  in  Princeton  University. 

While  Mr.  Charles  M.  Perry  was  pursuing  the  study  of  Dr.  Tappan's 
philosophy  in  connection  with  a  thesis  for  the  doctorate,  it  was  suggested 
by  Professor  Lloyd  that  access  to  these  manuscripts  be  secured.  Their 
use  was  generously  granted,  and,  on  the  request  of  the  Librarian,  in  1910, 
Professor  Briinnow  gave  them  into  the  permanent  possession  of  the  Library 
of  the  University  of  Michigan,  asking  in  return  but  a  tyi>ewritten  copy, 
which  the  Library  was  only  too  glad  to  make. 

While  they  are  now  available  for  any  one  whose  cause  would  justify 
their  use,  they  are  safely  housed  in  the  fireproof  vaults  of  the  library  of  the 
institution  for  which  President  Tappan  did  so  much,  and  which  has  such 
reason  to  venerate  his  memory. 

The  manuscripts,  as  given  to  us  by  Professor  Briinnow,  were  mostly 
in  Dr.  Tappan's  own  hand,  and  contained  in  seven  packages,  as  follows: 

I.    A  complete  work  on  psychology,  of  4S7  octavo  pages. 

]I.  A  metrical  translation  from  the  German  of  a  considerable  portion  of  Wil- 
helm  Jordan's  "Nihelunge/'  7  booklets  and  fragments. 

III.  Various  fragmentary  articles:  on  universities,  sheets  121-140;  a  "preliminary 
essay,"  32  pages;  on  immortality,  10  foolscap  pages. 

IV.  Course  of  moral  philosophy,  127  pages ;  Cardinal  Manning  and  Lord  Redes- 
dale  (a  letter  to  the  Daily  Telegraph),  33  pages;  Importance  of  the  study  of  Moral 
Philosophy,  8  pages;  on  Greek  literature,  4  pages;  and  other  fragments. 

V.  Sermons.    Two  large,  and  nine  small  booklets. 

VI.  Several  poems.  An  "Ode  to  the  Mediterranean,"  8  pages;  "Nepenthe," 
a  philosophical  essay  in  blank  verse,  devoted  to  the  soul's  relation  to  the  infinite;  and 
other  pieces  mostly  incomplete,  in  all  39  pages. 

VII.  An  essay  on  John  Milton,   121  pages,  large  octavo. 

Of  these  manuscripts,  number  I,  the  Psychology,  is  apparently  suitable 
for  a  course  of  lectures  on  the  subject  to  students,  and  was  probably  so 
used.  Some  of  Dr.  Tappan's  students  now  living  might  be  able  to  deter- 
mine that  question.  Much  of  the  matter  in  this  work  went  into  Dr.  Tappan's 
published  book  on  Logic,  which  was  copyrighted  in  1855. 

The  translation  of  Jordan's  "Nibelunge,"  while  holding  closely  to  the 
original  in  thought  and  in  form,  is  sufficiently  free  in  idiomatic  English  to 
draw  the  reader  along  with  the  true  and  easy  swing  of  the  epic  poem. 
Professor  Briinnow's  notation  ascribes  the  translation  to  "the  early  seven- 
ties," but  there  is  some  reason  to  think  it  might  have  been  earlier.  Volume 
one  of  Jordan's  work,  (Sigfridsage),  was  published  in  1868,  and  volume  two

(Hildebrant's  Heimkehr),  in  1874.  All  that  we  have  of  Dr.  Tappan's  trans- 
lation, songs  1-8,  10,  and  part  of  22,  belong  to  the  first  volume. 

Wilhelm  Jordan,  in  1865,  had  translated  into  German  Dr.  Tappan's 
memorial  address  on  Abraham  Lincoln,  delivered  at  the  American  Church 
in  Berlin.  A  copy  of  this  address,  in  the  German  version,  was  recently 
secured  and  presented  to  the  Library  of  the  University  by  E.  W.  Pendleton, 
'72,  of  Detroit. 

If  Dr.  Tappan  wished  to  return  the  compliment  of  a  translation  he 
would  be  likely  to  do  it  soon  after  the  appearance  of  the  first  volume  of 
the  "Nibelunge,"  a  complete  "Lied"  in  itself,  in  1868.  The  following  lines 
from  the  opening  of  the  first  song  will  serve  to  show  with  what  sympathetic 
force  and  fine  imagination  the  philosopher's  mind  could  turn  to  epic  poetry. 

"I  dare  to  wander  through  ways  long  forsaken 

In  the  far  distant  past  of  our  people. 

Awake  then  verse  full  of  power  and  sweetness 

To  which  Nature  the  mother  of  beauty  and  music 

Has  fashioned  the  soul  and  the  speech  of  the  German; 

As  the  thrush  and  the  bullfinch  taught  by  her  instinct 

Pour  forth  their  love  songs  from  bush  and  from  brake. 

But  how  died  away  this  melodious  measure, 

Do  you  ask  all  astonished? 

Then  hear  how  it  died  and  how  again  it  has  risen." 

There  are  a  nuntber  of  fragmentary  pieces  of  verse,  some  of  which  leap 
with  true  lyric  lightness  of  foot,  but  they  generally  carry  a  somewhat  heavy 
weight  of  thought.  The  subjects  of  these  poetic  impressions  are  mostly 
European  scenery,  especially  of  Italy,  and  one  is  inclined  at  first  to  refer 
them  to  Dr.  Tappan's  trip  to  Europe  which  he  described  in  so  interesting 
a  manner  in  the  two  volumes  entitled  *'A  step  from  the  new  world  to  the  old 
and  back  again,"  published  in  1852.  Whether  written  at  that  period  or  dur- 
ing his  later  residence  in  Europe,  they  show  the  philosopher  and  educator 
impelled  to  give  his  fancy  restful  flights,  and  to  look  on  life  from  a  vacation 
point  of  view.  A  good  illustration  of  this  state  of  mind  is  his  "Ode  to  the 
Mediterranean."    From  its  130  lines  the  following  may  be  quoted : 

"How  sad  the  desolation  of  thine  isles 
And  of  thy  classic  consecrated  shores 
Where  Heaven  bestows  its  most  benignant  smiles 
And  yields  to  faith  all  that  the  heart  adores, 
Where  all  that  elevates,  adorns,  inspires 
Their  origin  and  bright  examples  find, 
Where  Homer  and  Isaiah  struck  their  lyres, 
And  Socrates  and  Jesus  taught  mankind." 

The  essay  on  John  Milton  is^f  such  fonn  and -length  as  to  be  suitable 
for  public  lectures  or  addresses.  Although  conservatively  orthodox  in  his 
religious  and  philosophical  ideas.  Dr.  Tappan  exhibits  such  a  vigorous  and 
appreciative  admiration  for  Milton,  who  has  not  generally  been  regarded 
as  theologically  orthodox,  that  he  seems  to  have  run  close  to  the  verge  of 
inconsistency  with  his  own  philosophy.  This  is  especially  noticeable  with 
r^^ard  to  the  "Areopagitica,"  and  the  right  of  liberty  of  thought  in  general. 
Milton's  theories  of  education  he  approves  and  adopts  with  few  qualifica-

tions,  and  passes  them  on  with  such  lauds  and  commendation,  that  it  is  easy 
to  perceive  that  not  all  the  ideas  which  he  put  into  university  education  in 
this  country  had  come  from  Germany.  The  following  extract  from  this 
essay  may  serve  to  emphasize  his  attitude: 

"Alas!  The  age  in  which  he  (Milton)  lived  had  not  'spirit  and  capacity  enough 
to  apprehend'  his  rational  and  lofty  teachings.  Nor  yet  have  his  countrymen 
advanced  to  the  form  and  method  which  he  expounded  to  them.  The  Universities, 
have  been  but  partially  reformed,  no  Gymnasium  has  come  into  existence,  and  no 
general  system  of  popular  education  has  been  adopted.  But  other  nations  have 
received  the  light,  and  heard  the  voice.'' 

Although  the  philosophic  thought  of  Dr.  Tappan*s  day  has  yielded  in 
some  ways  to  the  evolutionary  pressure  of  the  passing  years,  there  is  much 
in  these  manuscripts  besides  the  personality  of  a  great  thinker  that  is  of 
value  and  should  be  made  more  accessible  to  the  future  student. 

There  has  been  some  talk  of  a  "Tappan  Book"  to  be  issued  by  the 
University  of  Michigan.  It  would  be  a  credit  to  the  University  and  to  be 
desired  from  their  own  importance  if  these  papers  could  be  preserved  in 
printed  form,  a  memorial  to  our  great  first  president  whose  name  we  hold  so 
dear  and  whose  memory  we  love  to  honor.

I9I4]  OPENING  ADDRESS  87 

OPENING  ADDRESS  IN  THE  MEDICAL 
DEPARTMENT* 

When  I  was  asked  to  give  the  address  for  the  opening  of  the  Medical 
College  I  cast  about  for  a  subject,  but  could  find  none  with  well  defined  out- 
lines, none  that  I  could  build  up  in  concrete  form  with  a  limiting  wall  about 
it,  for  my  thoughts  constantly  reverted  to  the  medical  student  and  the 
more  I  thought  the  farther  away  like  the  distant  approximation  of  two 
parallel  lines  seemed  the  ultimate  boundary  of  what  we  might  call  the 
horoscope  of  the  medical  student.  So  my  remarks  must  be  abstract,  touch- 
ing only  the  points  which  appeal  to  me  as  the  essential  ones  for  you  as 
students  and  practitioners  of  medicine,  for  us  as  your  teachers  and  pilots 
through  what  may  be  at  times  the  stormy  seas  of  your  preliminary  training. 

We  are  all  the  products  of  others.  None  of  us  are  original.  We  owe 
our  conformation  of  body  to  our  progenitors  or  to  the  aflfHctions  we  may 
have  endured  in  our  infancy.  Our  state  of  mind  we  owe  to  our  early 
training  and  our  subsequent  environment,  our  religion  or  our  lack  of  it. 
We  develop  complexes  which  make  us  antagonistic  to  certain  doctrines, 
advocates  of  others.  These  complexes  are  unconsciously  cultivated.  For 
this  reason  we  have  a  feeling  of  antipathy  for  John  Jones  when  in  reality 
John  is  a  good  reliable  citizen  and  may  possess  infinitely  finer  qualities  than 
we  do  ourselves.  We  become  biased.  After  a  time,  through  some  unfor- 
seen  circumstance,  we  are  brought  into  more  intimate  association  with  John 
and  we  begin  to  realize  that  our  apparent  antipathy  was  based  i-:pon  an 
acquired  complex,  and  we  recognize  as  if  by  discovery  that  in  reality  John 
is  a  perfectly  good  fellow.  So  in  the  beginning  of  your  medical  work  get 
your  state  of  mind  right.  Try  to  be  normal.  If  you  split  your  infinitive 
when  you  write  don't  do  it  when  you  think.  If  you  have  an  antagonism 
for  a  certain  subject  and  you  think  it  is  not  necessary  for  your  future  success 
in  medicine,  remember  your  experience  with  John  Jones.  It  may  be  that 
there  is  a  good  reason  for  the  detested  course,  that  it  is  a  stepping  stone  to 
the  acquirement  of  a  more  difficult  problem  later  on  and  that  after  all  it  is 
a  perfectly  good  course  and  you  would  not  have  missed  it  for  anything. 

As  you  have  been  told  before  you.  are  all  here  for  hard  work,  the 
hardest  work  any  student  can  take  up.  If  your  foundations  are  well  laid 
your  superstructures  can  be  maintained.  Should  a  flaw  occur  later  on  it 
can  be  mended  more  easily.  Begin  your  work  with  the  knowledge  that 
every  required  course  in  the  curriculum  is  absolutely  essential  for  the 
complete  and  successful  rounding  out  of  your  medical  education.  Remember 
that  it  is  for  you  that  this  medical  school  has  been  developed,  for  you  that 
we  seek  to  advance  our  science  and  make  our  knowledge  more  exact.  You 
are  our  pride  or  our  shame.  You  are  the  end  reaction  of  all  our  efforts — 
the  saving  of  humanity,  the  redemption  of  man.  We,  many  of  us,  labor  in 
our  laboratories  for  months  or  years  to  establish  a  single  abstract  fact  which 
we  can  give  to  you  in  a  few  words,  glad  as  payment  if  it  may  be  added  to

our  storehouse  of  knowledge.  You,  most  of  you,  will  be  in  the  field  apply- 
ing the  sirni  total  of  the  knowledge  that  has  come  only  through  the  unceas- 
ing efforts  of,  possibly,  some  unpopular  teacher. 

So  once  more  let  me  recall  to  you  that  after  inheriting  a  sound  mind 
in  a  sound  body  you  are  all  that  you  are  through  your  contact  with 
others.  Marcus  Aurelius,  fully  realizing  the  significance  of  this  fact,  records 
in  his  meditations  "what  and  of  whom  whether  parents,  friends,  or  masters, 
by  their  good  examples,  or  good  advice  and  counsel,  he  had  learned."  His 
illustrious  career  was  moulded  and  shaped  by  his  contact  with  others.  From 
his  grand  father  he  learned  to  be  gentle  and  to  refrain  from  all  passion. 
From  his  mother  he  learned  to  be  religious,  and  bountiful.  From  Diognetus 
he  acquired  a  contempt  for  superstition.  From  Rusticus  he  learned  that 
his  life  needed  some  "redress,  and  cure,"  and  to  despise  display  and  ostenta- 
tion; from  Apollonius  unvariable  steadfastness  and  to  regard  nothing, 
though  ever  so  small,  but  right  and  reason.  Of  Apollonius  he  also  learned 
how  to  receive  favors  of  kindness  (as  commonly  they  are  accounted)  from 
friends  so  that  he  might  not  become  obnoxious  to  them,  nor  more  yielding 
upon  occasion  than  in  right  he  ought.  From  Sextus  he  learned  tolerance 
for  human  f railities. 

Living  in  a  wicked  and  sensual  age,  the  ruling  spirit  of  a  great  and 
glorious  empire,  subject  because  of  this  to  the  greatest  of  temptations,  he  put 
into  effective  practice  those  principles  acquired  from  his  associates  and  be- 
came the  greatest  "moral  phenomenon"  of  all  time.  I  might  go  on  extoling 
the  virtues  and  the  greatness  of  this  wonderful  pagan  but  I  only  wish  to  fix 
the  point  if  I  may  that  each  one  of  us,  surely  though  unconsciously,  is  part 
Vaughan,  part  de  Nancrede,  Lombard,  Novy,  Huber,  and  part  those  who 
have  pressed  some  fact,  or  truth,  or  method,  or  mental  attitude  permanently 
into  his  cosmos  before  he  attains  his  degree,  his  permission  to  practice  their 
teachings,  much  of  which  is  their  own  creation  and  much  of  which  they  too 
have  acquired  from  others. 

If  we  as  teachers  press  our  subjects  upon  you  with  apparently  too 
much  vigor,  it  is  only  because  we  honestly  believe  and  know  that  it  is 
necessary  in  order  to  turn  out  a  good  product,  and  to  keep  our  school  in 
the  vanguard  of  medical  teaching, — ^to  keep  our  school  so  that  you  will 
be,  as  others  have  been  in  the  past,  proud  to  have  the  consciousness,  though 
we  write  it  not  after  our  names,  that  our  degree  is  M.D.  Ann  Arbor. 

Patriotism  to  your  alma  mater  is  one  of  the  first  principles  you  should 
endeavor  to  have  instilled  into  you.  The  man  without  it,  whether  student 
or  teacher,  is  in  a  sad  plight.  Michigan  offers  to  you  a  perfectly  normal 
education  in  medicine.  You  are  bound  by  no  ism,  no  pwithy,  no  creed  except 
the  moral  code.  You  are  curtailed  by  no  narrowness,  no  superstitions,  no 
envy,  no  hatred.  You  are  set  adrift  with  the  knowledge  that  your  founda- 
tions are  sound  and  that  you  have  been  taught  nothing  you  can  ever  be 
ashamed  of.  Truly  "no  pent  up  Utica  contracts"  your  "powers,  the  whole 
boundless  (world)  is  yours."  Be  loyal  in  your  class  work.  Be  proud 
that  you  are  a  freshman.  Be  anxious  to  make  your  freshman  class  the 
best  freshman  class  that  ever  entered  college.    If  it  is  the  best  there  will  be

no  question  about  the  senior  class.  If  your  brother  student  has  trouble  in 
making  the  grade,  out  of  pride  for  your  class  and  ambition  to  make  your 
Michigan  degree  mean  still  more  to  you  and  to  the  world,  lend  him  a  helping 
hand.  If  he  is  a  sloth  help  him  out  of  your  class,  he  will  always  be  a 
discredit  to  you.  But  be  sure  your  diagnosis  is  correct  before  your  vis 
atergo  is  put  into  action. 

You  seek  a  medical  education  perhaps,  because  there  is  something 
fascinating  about  it  for  you.  Because  you  have  a  desire  to  be  of  use  to 
humanity.  You  may  have  come  to  the  conclusion  that  medicine  is  the  most 
far  reaching  profession,  that  its  scope  is  broader  than  any  other.  *You 
come  to  this  conclusion  because  you  have  made  the  observation,  that  all 
scientific  knowledge  has  an  application  in  medicine,  and  that  a  full  knowl- 
edge of  the  arts,  is  essential  to  the  culture  necessary  to  cope  with  its  various 
humanistic  ramifications.  You  seek  a  medical  education  to  make  a  liveli- 
hood. This  is  assured  you  if  your  work  has  been  well  done.  What  you 
can  never  do  is  to  take  up  medicine  as  a  cold  business  proposition  and  gain 
the  regard,  the  esteem,  the  love,  and  the  warmth  of  friendship  of  your 
patients.  Your  patients  become  your  friends.  The  man  without  friends 
is  to  be  pitied  as  is  also  the  man  without  an  enemy.  **Praestat  amicitia 
propinqiiitati/'  There  is  no  profession  which  brings  more  joy  per  hour 
than  the  one  you  have  chosen,  and  there  are  so  frequently  twenty-four 
hours  in  the  day.  A  life  of  service  is  held  up  to  us  as  the  ideal  life.  It  is 
better  to  give  than  to  receive.  "It  is  better  to  be  of  service  even  to  the  bad 
for  the  sake  of  those  who  are  good,  than  to  fail  the  good  on  account  of 
the  bad."    It  is  better  "to  be  of  use  rather  than  to  be  conspicuous." 

Of  thoroughness  may  I  say  a  few  words.  If  you  care  to  be  a  master 
or  to  make  true  success  of  your  profession,  the  smallest  detail  of  your  work 
must  be  done  with  thoroughness.  We  see  in  the  trades,  in  the  over-organized 
union  labor  of  today,  the  disappearance  of  the  master  workman;  the  dis- 
appearance of  the  motive  which  prompts  a  man  to  make  himself  a  master. 
This  spirit  is  contagious  but  as  yet  it  has  penetrated  only  slightly  into 
professional  occupations.  The  average  doctor  wants  to  excel.  He  is  not 
content  to  stop  his  education  when  his  license  to  practice  is  given  him. 
He  cares  more  about  curing  his  patient,  rather  he  cares  more  about  seeing 
that  his  patient  is  cured,  than  he  does  about  collecting  his  fee.  So  long  as 
this  spirit  predominates  he  will  have  the  desire  to  be  thorough  in  his  work. 
To  be  thorough  in  medicine  means  that  in  the  ever  alluring  present  we 
do  not  forget  the  past.  May  I  illustrate  by  one  or  two  examples.  The 
Roentgen  ray  has  brought  to  us,  within  quite  recent  years,  a  means  of  put- 
ting ourselves  in  possession  of  some  indisputable  facts.  We  look  at  a  chest, 
we  see  the  pathology  perhaps  at  a  glance.  We  begin  to  depend  upon  this 
quick,  positively  recorded  method  of  examination  and  become  indifferent 
about  our  physical  signs.  We  look  at  the  abdomen.  We  are  brought  face  to 
face  with  conflicting  findings.  By  the  old  method  we  reasoned  about  the 
position  of  the  stomach,  its  motility,  its  size  and  its  conformation  from  an 
entirely  different  viewpoint.  There  is  a  temptation  to  neglect  the  old,  the 
well  tried  methods.    We  revise  our  viewpoint  and  sometimes  forget,  that

the  facts  proven  in  the  past  must  ever  be  our  basis  for  sound  reason  in  the 
future.  Too  frequently  the  student  is  lured  by  the  picture,  the  spectacular, 
the  something  tangible,  the  positive.  He  goes  away  from  the  clinic  filled 
with  enthusiasm  over  having  seen  some  horrible  distortion  of  the  body  by 
a  disease  which  has  progressed  beyond  the  peradventure  of  a  possible  cure. 
It  is  sometimes  hard  to  interest  him  for  example,  in  the  man  who  appears 
ner\'ous,  who  complains  of  gastric  distress,  but  presents  only  so  called  no7- 
mal  stomach  findings.  He  may  not  appreciate  that  this  poor  fellow  is  really 
complaining  of  the  symptoms  of  a  definite  disease,  a  "wonderful  clinic" 
in  the  making,  but  now  uninteresting  in  the  curable  stage. 

So  in  practice  the  doctor  may  not  realize  that  his  nervous,  vomiting 
patient,  with  a  hyperacidity  is  just  beginning  a  stage  in  a  disease  which  may 
now  be  arrested,  but  which  in  a  very  short  time  may  be  beyond  all  human 
aid.  While  the  doctor  was  engrossed  in  his  gastric  analyses,  in  the  manipu- 
lations of  his  new  gyromele,  his  intragastric  bag,  his  duodenal  cathetar,  his 
stomach  bucket,  his  gastrodiaphane,  and  his  bismuth  meal,  fascinated  by  the 
spectacular,  the  something  tangible,  he  ignored  the  patient's  slight  complaint 
of  rheumatic  pains  in  his  legs ;  he  forgot  to  tap  his  patient's  knee  and  look 
at  his  eye ;  he  continued  to  wash  his  patient's  stomach  until  the  patient,  no 
better  from  this  painstaking  care,  drifts  into  other  hands,  and  it  is  found  that 
his  knee  jerk  is  gone,  his  pupils  react  to  accommodation  but  not  to  light,  his 
urine  starts  hard,  and  his  spinal  fluid  counts  lOO  cells  to  the  cubic  millimeter. 

Tlie  careful  physical  examination  and  the  carefully  taken  history  are 
the  back  bone  of  medical  success.  Omit  them  if  you  will,  your  sin  will 
surely  find  you  out.  The  mistakes  we  all  make  come  when  we  neglect  our 
routine  work.  I  have  the  greatest  pity  for  the  student  who  shirks  his 
laboratory  work  and  his  physical  examinations.  H  he  is  to  become  perfect 
in  any  of  his  work  he  must  have  made  more  examinations  than  can  possibly 
come  to  him  in  his  short  clinical  years.  The  student  too  often  assumes  the  at- 
titude of  once  shown  always  known.  Too  often  in  percussion  he  delights  to 
make  a  noise.  Too  often  he  is  interested  in  the  blowing  breathing,  not  in 
the  finer  changes  which  precede  it.  Too  often  he  shows  little  regard  for 
fonn  in  his  methods  of  work  but  is  a  stickler  for  it  in  golf  and  football. 
Any  one  can  make  a  noise.  Any  one  can  hear  a  sound.  But  it  takes  a 
Mozart  to  compose  and  execute  a  symphony,  a  Skoda  to  interpret  the  signs 
of  percussion  and  auscultation.  Try  to  be  a  master!  Try  to  perfect  your 
methods  and  your  interpretation !  We  often  hear  of  a  man  being  a  won- 
derful musician,  a  perfect  operator.  How  frequently  do  we  hear  it  said  he 
is  a  wonderful  percussor.  Why  is  this?  Is  it  because  there  are  none  who 
have  peculiar  ability  in  this  direction  or  is  it  because  there  are  only  a  few 
who  have  progressed  far  enough  in  this  art  to  be  able  to  judge.  If  you  are 
studying  scarlet  fever,  or  measles,  or  typhoid,  do  not  be  satisfied  with 
knowing  the  symptoms  and  the  diagnostic  signs.  Any  one  can  learn  these. 
It  does  not  even  require  a  degree  in  medicine  to  know  them.  Theorize  a 
bit!  Wonder  why  the  rash  of  scarlet  fever  is  uniformly  red  and  that  of 
measles  mottled,  why  the  typhoid  belly  has  rose  spots  and  that  of  typhus 
rose  and  blue.  If  somebody  does  not  wonder  we  shall  never  know.  There 
is  never  a  time  in  your  medical  training  when  you  cannot  begin  to  develop^

a  creative  genius.  The  building  of  medical  air  castles  is  good  training.  It 
carries  you  beyond  the  known  into  the  unknown.  Of  course  your  castles 
will  fall  but  that  need  not  deter  you,  for  all  men  of  thought  build  them  and 
see  them  fall. 

"For  a*  sage  he  looks,  what  can  the  laddie  ken? 

He's  thinkin  upon  naething,  like  mony  mighty  men; 

A  wee  thing  makes  us  think,  a  sma'  thing  makes  us  stare; 

There  are  mair  folks  than  him  biggin  castles  in  the  air." 

The  day  is  not  far  distant  when  it  will  be  your  absolute  skill,  not  your 
glitter,  that  will  draw  men  to  you.  The  public  is  rapidly  getting  educated 
in  matters  pertaining  to  health.  The  man  in  the  country  as  well  as  the  man 
in  the  city  will  insist  upon  having  the  very  best  medical  aid  there  is.  The 
poor  will  resort  to  well  organized  dispensaries  where  they  have  the  assurance 
that  the  social  service  workers  will  see  that  their  cases  are  put  into  skillful 
hands.  The  doctor  who  hangs  up  his  shingle  and  gives  cheap  medicine  for 
the  pittance  he  may  exact  from  the  poor  will  cease  to  exist  and  the  world 
will  be  that  much  better.  But  a  word  of  caution  is  necessary.  While  per- 
fecting yourself  in  one  field  of  your  undergraduate  work  do  not  do  it  at  the 
expense  of  others.  Only  after  you  have  completed  your  course,  can  you,  in 
justice  to  your  self  and  those  you  hope  to  care  for,  afford  to  favor  one 
subject  more  than  another.  The  danger  of  this  is  taught  us  by  the  exper- 
iences of  the  past.  In  the  days  of  Skoda,  as  one  of  his  biographers  puts  it, 
''practical  medicine  degenerated  into  simple  diagnosis.  By  his  observations 
on  the  'natural  course  of  disease  undisturbed  by  therapeutics'  he  became  the 
•direct  and  proper  founder  of  a  purely  expectant  or  nihilistic  therapeutics  in 
Germany,  and  the  author  of  a  cheerless  period  in  clinical  practice.  During 
this  period  instead  of  conceding  (as  would  have  been  just)  that,  practical 
medicine  can  lay  claim  to  only  a  slight  active  influence,  it  finally  became  an 
obligatory  rule  of  faith  to  plead  for  the  complete  impossibility  of  any  medical 
influence  upon  diseases, — and  to  manage  at  the  bedside  accordingly.  Hence 
it  .resulted  that  university  professors  and  clinicians,  ■  followers  of  Skoda, 
were  able  to  make  extremely  nice,  so-called  exact  diagnosis,  but  could  no 
Ipnger  write  a  prescription,  though  they  had  for  pupils  future  practicing 
physicians  alone,  who  accordingly  from  the  outset  must  regard  themselves 
^s  mere  superfluities  or  imposters." 

Of  humanity  a  few  words  may  not  be  amiss.  It  is  human  to  be  selfish, 
to  be  antagonistic,  to  be  spiteful,  to  be  superstitious,  to  be  apprehensive. 
These  traits  of  humanity  are  handed  down  to  us  from  our  simian  ancestors. 
It  is  human  to  be  kind,  tolerant,  forgiving,  magnanimous,  trustful,  full  of 
faith,  compassionate.  These  traits  have  come  to  us  through  our  association 
with  those  who  are  dear  to  us,  through  our  touch  with  the  softening  in- 
fluences of  home,  time,  and  the  sorrows  we  may  have  endured.  Who  comes 
<iuite  so  close  to  the  sorrows  of  life  and  administers  more  to  them  than  the 
physician.  Who  knows  better  the  uplifting  effect  of  a  kind  word.  Who 
more  than  the  physician  has  learned 

"To  look  on  nature,  not  as  in  the  hour 

Of  thoughtless  youth;  but  hearing  often  times 

The  still,  sad  music  of  humanity."

I^ok  for  the  medical  man  who  is  doing  the  most  good,  who  is  making 
the  greatest  real  success  of  life.  He  will  be  found  to  be  the  man  who  has 
abundant  kindness  and  unselfishness.  The  man  who  becomes  great  uncon- 
sciously. The  man  who  seeks  not  public  applause  for  his  successful  per- 
formance of  duty  according  to  the  most  approved  methods.  How  often  do 
we  see  men  of  ability  fall  short  of  true  greatness  because  of  the  failure  to 
subdue  some  human  fraility. 

As  in  science,  in  art,  so  in  humanity  this  university  offers  you  a  lab- 
oratory to  work  in.  Do  not  neglect  to  make  use  of  it.  Do  not  forget  that 
the  patient  entrusted  to  your  care  has  the  same  human  feelings  as  your 
mother,  your  sister,  your  brother.  The  illy  clad  woman  sobbing,  perhaps 
hysterically,  in  the  waiting  room  needs  a  kind  word.  Her  little  world  is  as 
real  to  her  as  is  ours.    Her  depth  of  feeling  is  the  same. 

In  a  big  hospital  like  ours  where  hundreds  of  sick  people  are  being  cared 
for  daily  we  rely  more  or  less  upon  you  for  their  care.  When  a  case  is 
assigned  you,  work  it  up  expeditiously.  By  so  doing  you  may  save  your 
patient  much  mental  or  physical  pain.  Nowhere  quite  so  much  as  in  a 
hospital  should  our  motto  be — work  first,  play  last.  Do  not  slam  the  door. 
Do  not  walk  heavily  through  the  sick  rooms.  Do  not  talk  loudly  in  the  cor- 
ridors. Let  us  not  fail  to  sense  the  importance  of  silence  in  a  hospital. 
If  we  do  we  may  fail  in  the  same  thing  in  private  practice.  Silence  and 
gentleness  should  pervade  the  hospital.  The  successful  hospital  manage- 
ment brings  this  about,  but  it  cannot  be  brought  about  without  your  co- 
operation. 

In  closing  may  I  add  a  few  words  about  practice.  You  will  each  need 
a  hospital  year  after  graduation.  This  offers  you  a  year  free  from  the  grind 
of  class  work,  and  an  opportunity  to  get  in  closer  touch  with  your  profession 
and  your  patients.  From  the  standpoint  of  business  success  you  cannot 
afford  to  go  without  it.  You  cannot  enter  upon  your  interne  service  with 
too  much  seriousness.  Endeavor  to  assume  responsibility  rather  than  to 
shift  it.  Be  sure  the  group  of  patients  entrusted  to  your  care  is  the  best 
cared  for  group  in  the  hospital. 

In  practice  as  in  the  hospital  the  uppermost  thing  in  your  minds  should 
be  the  welfare  of  your  patients.  You  must  not  be  discouraged  if  your 
patients  sometimes  forget  to  appreciate  this  fact.  There  is  an  old  proverb 
which  says — ^happy  is  the  physician  who  is  called  in  at  the  end  of  the  dis- 
ease. You  will  meet  with  this  experience  and  it  may  balance  the  heart- 
ache which  may  have  come  to  you  when  a  patient  or  his  friends  fail  to  see 
the  happy  outcome  of  the  work  you  have  initiated. 

Be  sure  you  know  your  limitations.  It  is  best  for  us  all  to  learn  early 
in  our  careers  that  as  "no  man  can  climb  out  beyond  the  limits  of  his  own 
character"  so  he  cannot  climb  out  beyond  the  limits  of  his  own  knowledge. 
Medical  knowledge  has  progressed  within  recent  years  with  such  leaps  and 
bounds  that  it  is  an  utter  impossibility  for  one  man  to  compass  it  all.  Most 
of  you  will  go  into  general  practice.  I  am  still  old  fogy  enough  to 
believe  that  no  matter  what  branch  of  medicine  or  surgery  you  may  take 
up,  all  of  you  should,  for  the  sake  of  yourselves  and  your  patients,  go  into 
general  practice  for  a  time.    I  think  you  will  make  a  better  specialist  if  you

do.  If  you  do  this  there  are  four  subjects  you  must  know  thoroughly. 
They  are  internal  medicine,  the  principles  of  surgery,  diseases  of  children, 
and  obstetrics.  The  supreme  effort  of  the  medical  college  should  be  to 
see  that  there  is  no  question  about  your  knowledge  of  these  subjects.  If 
you  master  these  you  will  be  master  of  the  situation  so  far  as  your  life  as 
a  physician  is  concerned.  The  man  who  perfects  himself  in  surgery  cannot 
find  time  to  perfect  himself  in  internal  medicine,  and  likewise  the  man  who 
endeavors  to  perfect  himself  in  internal  medicine  cannot  perfect  himself  as  a 
surgeon.  If  he  tries  to  do  all  some  one  must  suffer  for  it.  There  is  a  very 
clean  line  between  expert  medicine  and  expert  surgery.  But  we  all  fully 
appreciate  the  force  of  the  saying  of  our  much  honored  and  beloved  pro- 
fessor of  surgery, — I  am  a  medical  man  who  operates. 

You  will  hear  a  great  deal  abouf  medical  ethics  as  if  they  were  different 
from  any  other  ethics.  This  subject  can  be  summed  up  in  two  words 
common  courtesy.  Adhere  to  this  principle.  It  really  matters  very  little 
to  you  if  your  professional  brother  fails  to  appreciate  it.  He  is  the  one  to 
be  pitied  and  the  world  will  go  on  pitying  him.  The  sad  part  about  it  is  that 
he  will  not  know  it.  Such  men  frequently  go  down  to  death  with  a  chip 
unremoved  from  their  shoulder.  I  would  that  I  could  exhort  you  to  be  big 
in  spirit,  to  be  normal  in  thought  and  action,  to  be  steadfast  in  purpose. 

"If  you  can  keep  your  head  wlien  all  about  you 

Are  losing  theirs  and  blaming  it  on  you; 
If  you  can  trust  yourself  when  all  men  doubt  you, 

And  make  allowance  for  their  doubting  too; 
If  you  can  wait  and  not  be  tired  by  waiting, 

Or  being  lied  about  don't  deal  in  lies, 
Or  being  hated  don't  give  way  to  hating, 

And  yet  don't  look  too  good,  nor  talk  too  wise. 

If  you  can  dream  and  not  make  dreams  your  master; 

If  you  can  think  and  not  make  thoughts  your  aim, 
If  you  can  meet  with  Triumph  and  Disaster 

And  treat  those  two  imposters  just  the  same, 
If  you  can  bear  to  hear  the  truth  youVe  spoken 

Twisted  by  knaves  to  make  a  trap  for  fools. 
Or  watch  the  things  you  gave  your  life  to,  broken. 

And  stoop  and  build  'em  up  with  worn-out  tools. 

If  you  can  make  one  heap  of  all  your  winnings 

And  risk  it  on  one  turn  of  pitch-and-toss, 
And  lose,  and  start  again  at  your  beginnings 

And  never  breathe  a  word  about  your  loss ; 
If  you  can  force  your  heart  and  nerve  and  sinew 

To  serve  your  turn  long  after  they  are  gone, 
And  so  hold  on  when  there  is  nothing  in  you 

Except  the  Will  which  says  to  them:  Hold  on! 
If  you  can  talk  with  crowds  and  keep  your  virtue, 

Or  walk  with  Kings — nor  lose  the  common  touch. 
If  neither  foes  nor  loving  friends  can  hurt  you, 

If  all  men  count  with  you,  but  none  too  much; 
If  you  can  fill  the  unforgiving  minute 

With  sixty  seconds*   worth  of  distant  run. 
Yours  is  the  earth  and  everything  that's  in  it. 

And— which  is  more— you'll  be  a  Man,  my  son.''

University  News 


ATHLETICS 


HARVARD.  7;  MICHIGAN.  0 

Michigan  went  down  to  a  glorious  de- 
feat on  Soldiers'  Field  at  Cambridge  on 
October  31st,  when  her  inexperienced  Var- 
sity held  the  veteran  Harvard  eleven  to  a 
7  to  o  score. 

The  first  and  third  quarters  belonged  all 
to  Michigan,  for  it  was  then  that  Michigan 
'  twice  marchfed  down  the  field,  straight  to- 
ward a  touchdown.  Save  for  the  few 
minutes  that  Harvard  was  making  her  lone 
5core  in  the  second  period,  Michigan  was 
doing  the  best  work.  The  first  part  of  the 
last  quarter  was  Michigan's,  but  in  the  last 
few  minutes  of  play,  Harvard  began  an- 
other onslaught  on  the  Varsity  goal,  which 
was  stopped  on  the  2S-yard  line  by  the  call 
of  time. 

Head  Coach  Fielding  H.  Yost  claimed 
after  the  game  that  his  team  should  have 
won,  and  laid  the  defeat  to  errors  in  the 
selection  of  plays  when  the  men  were  twice 
within  easy  striking  distance  of  touch- 
•downs. 

In  the  first  quarter  hard  plunges  by 
Maulbetsch  and  short  dashes  by  the  other 
Michigan  backs,  took  the  ball  to  the  Crim- 
son 5-yard  line.  Here  a  forward  pass  was 
signaled  on  the  fourth  down,  but  Splawn 
mixed  signals  and  tried  to  run  with  the 
ball.  He  was  downed  behind  his  line,  and 
Lyons,  standing  far  back  of  goal  line,  never 
received  the  ball. 

On  the  other  occasion,  in  the  third  period, 
Hughitt  called  for  an  unassisted  line  buck 
by  Maulbetsch  for  the  fourth  down,  and 
the  half  back  was  stopped.  Both  of  these 
plays  were  of  the  type  which  usually  take 
the  heart  out  of  a  team,  but  each  time  the 
Varsity  came  back  fiercely  to  the  attack. 
It  was  only  the  equally  stubborn  resistance 
of  the  skillful  Harvard  defense  which 
blocked  the  Wolverines. 

Harvard  made  the  only  touchdown  of  the 
game  in  the  second  quarter  through  the 
medium  of  a  series  of  hard  plunges  and  a 
successful  forward  pass.  This  latter  play, 
in  which  Smith  made  a  spectacular  catch  of 
the  throw  from  Hard  wick,  seemed  to  de- 
moralize Captain  Raynsford  and  his  men 
for  the  moment,  and  they  did  not  rally  in 
time  to  block  the  final  smash  through  the 
line  which  took  Hardwick  over  for  the  win- 
ning? touchdown. 

Much  to  the  surprise  of  the  25,000  people 


assembled  to  watch  the  intersectional  game, 
the  Michigan  team  failed  to  show  its 
heralded  open  attack.  Coach  Yost  was  as 
much  disappointed  as  the  spectators.  The 
success  of  Maulbetsch,  pronounced  phe- 
nomenal by  eastern  critics,  in  piercing  the 
Harvard  line  by  his  smashing  plunges,  per- 
liaps  drove  all  thought  of  open  play  out  of 
the  minds  of  the  Varsity  field  leaders. 
Maulbetsch  carried  the  ball  farther  on 
plunges  than  the  whole  Harvard  backfield, 
and  was  easily  the  star  player  on  the  grid- 
iron in  the  intersectional  battle.  Walter 
Camp,  the  noted  eastern  expert,  sitting  on 
the  sidelines,  spoke  of  the  Michigan  half- 
back as  the  best  plunger  whom  he  had  ever 
seen.  As  a  result  of  these  words  of  praise 
by  the  man  whose  All-American  is  each 
year  considered  the  most  authentic,  Michi- 
gan rooters  are  looking  to  see  Maulbetsch 
named  for  this  mythical  eleven. 

The  game  was  a  triumph  for  Yost  and 
his  coaching  methods.  Despite  the  fact 
that  he  was  forced,  in  laying  his  plans  for 
the  game,  to  really  waste  Hughitt  and 
Splawn  on  account  of  their  injuries,  he 
evolved  an  attack  and  defense  which  events 
proved  should  have  won  the  victory.  H 
the  Varsity  had  but  possessed  the  final 
"punch"  inside  the  Crimson  lo-yard  line, 
two  scores  would  have  been  marked  up  for 
Michigan.  Harvard  had  this  ability  and 
made  the  score  necessary  to  win. 

The  Varsity  line  showed  to  surprising 
advantage  in  front  of  the  veteran  Crimson 
forwards.  The  Coach  had  evolved  a  for- 
mation which  put  nine  Michigan  mtn  on 
the  line,  and  by  this  means  an  offense  was 
built  up  which  opened  up  holes  for  Maul- 
betsch and  the  other  Michigan  backs. 

On  defense,  the  Yost  formations  were 
effectual  in  stopping  the  Harvard  backs 
when  rightly  used.  The  reason  for  the 
Crimson  touchdown  was  the  abandonment 
of  the  formation  which  the  Michigan  coach 
had  evolved  to  meet  the  famous  Harvard 
split  buck.  The  Michigan  guards  were  the 
weakest  parts  of  the  line,  but  the  tackles 
and  ends  played  far  better  than  had  been 
expected.  Benton,  working  against  the 
Crimson  captain  and  Smith,  stopped  Har- 
vard end  runs  many  times.  Reimann  was 
the  chief  bulwark  in  the  Varsity  defense, 
his .  ability  to  break  through  the  Harvard 
line  costing  the  Crimson  many  yards.

Michigan's  chief  weakness  was  in  get- 
ting down  the  field  under  punts.  While 
the  Harvard  ends  were  able  to  down  Hugh- 
itt  in  his  tracks  on  practically  every  kick, 
the  Crimson  receiver  of  Splawn's  punts 
made  up  many  yards  each  time  the  Mich- 


JOHN  MAULBBTSCH 

igan  full  back  kicked.  Benton  was  blocked 
•off  easily,  and  it  was  generally  a  Michigan 
lineman  who  finally  tackled  the  runner. 
Dunne  proved  a  good  tackier  under  punts 
in  the  short  time  he  was  in  the  game. 

The  game  by  quarters  was  as  follows : 
FIRST   QUARTER. 

Michigan  made  the  first  gain  of  the  game  when 
-Captain  Raynsford  won  the  toss  for  position.  He 
chose  to  defend  the  west  goal,  putting  the  slight 
breeze  at  his  back  and  forcing  the  Crimson  team 
to  face  the  blinding  sun. 

Withington  kicked  off  to  Splawn  who  returned 
the  ball  to  the  30-yard  line  before  he  was  downed. 
If  aulbctsch    was    the .  man    selected    to    carry    the 


ball  first  for  Michigan,  and  he  made  5  yards 
through  the  center  of  the  Harvard  line.  Two 
more  plunges,  with  I^yons  and  Maulbetsch  carry- 
ing the  ball  in  order,  made  the  initial  first  down 
for  tlie  Varsity,  and  the  Michigan  rooters  in  the 
stands  cheered  wildly. 

Splawn  and  Maulbetsch  made  one  more  first 
down  before  the  Michigan  progress  was  stopped, 
with  Acting  Captain  Trumbull  as  the  chief  cause. 
On  an  exchange  in  the  middle  of  the  field,  Splawn 
tried  a  couple  of  on-side  kicks,  but  the  failure 
of  I^yons  to  take  advantage  of  the  opening,  left 
Harvard  in  possession  of  the  ball. 

On  their  first  attempt  of  the  game  at  carrying 
the  ball,  Harvard  fumbled  and  Hughitt  pounced 
on  the  ball  on  the  Crimson  40-yard  line.  An 
exchange  of  punts  followed,  with  the  Varsity 
finally  getting  the  ball  on  the  Harvard  47-yard 
line.  Here  started  the  Michigan  march  to  the 
Crimson  goal  line.  Hughitt  made  7  yards  on 
a  squirming  run  past  the  Harvard  right  guard, 
Lyons  made  several  yards  more,  and  then  Maul- 
betsch dashed  through  on  a  fake  forward  pass 
play,  taking  the  ball  to  the  ii-^ard  line.  Three 
plavs,  with  Maulbetsch  as  the  chief  ground  gainer, 
took  the  ball  to  the  5 -yard  line. 

But  here  a  forward  pass  play  went  amiss  when 
Splawn  mixed  the  signals  and  the  ball  went  to 
Harvard  on  downs,  and  was  punted  out  of  danger. 

SECOND   QUARTER. 

Lyons  started  the  play  in  the  second  quarter 
with  a  good  gain,  but  on  the  next  two  plays 
Michigan  was  assessed  penalties  of  20  yards  for 
holding  and  for  off-side.  An  exchange  of  punts 
followed,  with  Harvard  gaining  a  distinct  ad- 
vantage. 

Harvard  made  a  first  down  on  Michigan's  30- 
yard  line,  and  then  a  forward  pass,  Hardwick  to 
Smith,  put  the  ball  on  the  Varsity  19-yard  line, 
and  the  Michigan  goal  seemed  in  danger  for  the 
first  time  in  the  game.  Three  hard  plunges  by 
Francke,  mixed  with  a  smash  Vy  Hardwick,  made 
it  first  down  against  the  stubborn  Michigan  de- 
fense, and  then  another  play  by  Francke  through 
the  line  put  the  ball  on  the  Michigan  6-yard  line. 
With  Captain  Raynsford  using  an  open  defense, 
a  split  buck  put  Hardwick  over  for  the  Crimson 
touchdown.  He  kicked  goal  and  the  score  stood 
Harvard  7,   Michigan  o. 

Splawn  kicked  off,  sending  the  ball  behind  the 
Harvard  goal  line.  The  Crimson  elected  to  scrim- 
mage on  the  20-yard  line,  and  a  series  of  punts, 
with  a  few  plunges  mixed  in,  put  the  play  in 
Michigan  territory.  Once  Hughitt  called  for  a 
forward  pass,  but  the  ball  slipped  off  Lyon's  hands 
into  the  arms  of  Logan.  Shortly  afterward  a 
brief  series  of  plunges  by  Maulbetsch  and  Splawn 
>ut  the  ball  on  the  Crimspn  side  of  the  field,  but 

chigan  was  forced  to  punt,  and  the  half  ended 
with  the  ball  near  the  middle  of  the  field. 

THIRD   QUARTER. 

The  first  part  of  this  quarter  was  a  punting  duel, 
with  Harvard  kicking  at  the  first  opportunity,  and 
the  Varsity  trying  each  time-  to  start  a  dash 
toward  the  Harvard  goal  line.  Maulbetsch  was 
successful  on  the  majority  of  his  trials. 

After  Splawn  had  punted  over  the  Crimson 
goal  line,  the  Varsity  got  the  ball  near  the  middle 
of  the  field  and  started  on  the  second  march  down 
the  field.  Maiclbetsch  carried  the  ball  five  out  of 
every  six  times,  with  Splawn  and  Lyons  helping 
him  a  little.  By  steady  rushes  the  ball  was 
taken  inside  the  Harvard  lo-vard  mark,  and  it 
was  fourth  down  with  3  yards  to  go.  A  final 
unassisted  plunge  by  Maulbetsch  failed  to  make 
the  distance,  and  Francke  punted  out  of  danger. 
FOURTH   QUARTER. 

With  the  ball  on  the  Pfarvard  3S-yard  line,  two 
plunges  by  Lyons  and  Maulbetsch  made  it  first 
down  and  another  advance  to  the  Crimson  goal 
seemed  started.  But  «ne  of  the  officials  had  seen 
a  Michigan  man  holding,  and  Splawn  was  forced 
to  punt.     Neither  side  again  threatened  to  score.

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[November 


although  just  at  the  end  of  the  game  Harvard 
was  rushing  toward  the  Varsity  goal  line.  Both 
teams  adhered  closely  to  the  punting  game,  and 
this  time  Splawn  held  his  own  with  the  powerful 
Hardwick.  One  of  Splawn's  punts  put  the  ball 
on  the  Harvard  1 6-yard  line,  but  Watson  let 
Hard  wick  past  for  a  12-yard  gain,  and  the  Crim- 
son  was  out  of  danger.  Splawn's  last  punt  put  the 
ball  on  Harvard's  20-yard  line  and  the  Crimson 
started  a  last  onslaught  on  the  Michigan  line. 
Plunges  by  Hard  wick  and  Francke,  coupled  with 
a  15-yard  forward  pass  from  Hardwick  to  Cool- 
idge  put  the  ball  on  the  Michigan  25-yard  line  just 
as  time  was  called  for  the  end  of  the  game.

MICHIGAN.  69;  CASE.  0 

For  three  quarters  of  the  game  against 
Case  on  October  3,  the  Varsity  backs  scored 
points  for  Michigan  at  the  rate  of  two  each 
minute.  But  in  the  final  period,  with  a 
maze  of  substitutes  in  the  line-up,  the  total 
dropped  down  to  less  than  one  every  sixty 
seconds,  and  the  grand  total  showed  a  count 
of  69  to  o  for  the  40  minutes  of  play. 

It  was  a  veritable  procession  for  the  Var- 
sity. Long  gains  by  the  backs  were  the 
rule  rather  than  the  exception.  Splawn, 
Maulbetsch,  Catlett  and  Hughitt  shared  the 
honors  in  this  respect,  all  of  them  attack- 
ing the  ends  and  the  middle  of  the  line  with 
equal  effectiveness. 

It  required  3}^  minutes  of  play  to  ne- 
gotiate the  first  score.  After  this  opening 
had  been  made  the  scoring  was  so  fast  that 
the  time-keepers  lost  track  of  statistics. 
Ten  touchdowns  was  the  total  made  by  the 
Varsitj',  and  nearly  every  man  who  claimed 
the  privilege  of  carrying  the  ball  was  num- 
bered among  those  who  made  the  6  points 
by  going  over  the  last  Case  line. 

The  Varsity  linemen  were  at  their  best 
in  this  game,  getting  into  the  interference 
like  veterans.  Their  good  work  at  block- 
ing off  the  secondary  defense  was  largely 
responsible  for  the  effectiveness  of  the 
backfield  men  in  getting  away  for  their 
long  runs.  During  the  few  moments  when 
Case  had  the  ball  in  her  possession,  the 
Wolverine     forwards     were     particularly 


effective  in  breaking  through  and  mussing 
up  the  plays  before  they  were  started.  At 
not  a  single  point  in  the  game  did  the  visi- 
tors even  threaten  to  make  progress  with 
the  ball,  practically  the  whole  game  being 
played  in  Case  territory. 

Catlett's  performances,  while  he  was  in 
the  game,  were  the  principal  features.  Once 
he  came  very  close  to  running  the  entire 
length  of  the  field  after  the  kick-off,  but  a 
Case  tackier  dashed  up  behind  the  dodging 
Wolverine  and  downed  him.  Hughitt  was 
close  behind  Catlett  with  long,  wriggling 
runs,  his  best  work  coming  in  the  handling 
of  punts. 

One  of  Michigan's  touchdowns  was  made 
with  but  one  play  after  the  kick-off.  The 
Varsity  back  took  the  ball  from  the  Case 
man's  toe  and  ran  it  far  back  into  hostile 
territory.  On  the  next  play  Hughitt  dashed 
around  the  end  for  the  final  run  to  the 
score.

MICHIGAN.  27;  MT.  UNION.  7 

Mount  Union  was  the  first  team  to  score 
on  the  Varsity  during  the  present  season, 
when  they  succeeded  in  scoring  a  touch- 
down in  the  last  few  minutes  of  play, 
through  the  medium  of  a  series  of  forward 
passes  which  took  the  ball  through  the 
darkness  past  the  last  Michigan  defense. 

The  Varsity  won  the  game  by  a  score  of 
27  to  7,  a  larger  score  than  the  strong  1913 
eleven  had  made  against  the  fighting  Ohio 
collegians.  In  the  game  on  October  7, 
Mount  Union  put  up  an  exceptionally 
strong  fight,  showing  a  surprising  strength 
in  the  line  and  a  successful  attack  by  means 
of  the  forward  pass  formation.

Hughitt,  Catlett,  Splawn  and  Maulbetsch 
were  the  stars  of  this  game  for  the  Wol- 
verines, all  reeling  off  end  runs  for  big 
gains.  Hughitt  called  on  his  men  for  the 
forward  pass  several  times  during  the  game, 
and  in  a  majority  of  instances  the  Var- 
sity's attempts  were  successful  in  putting 
Michigan  within  scoring  distance.  Then 
Maulbetsch  or  Splawn  would  go  over  for 
the  last  few  yards. 

Mount  Union  tried  the  forward  pass 
repeatedly.  Their  formation  was  a  short 
throw  over  the  line,  and  in  the  last  few 
minutes  it  was  successful  because  of  the 
darkness  which  hid  the  play  from  the  Mich- 
igan defense.  Twice  the  Varsity  hurled 
back  this  attack,  but  each  time  the  deter- 
mined college  eleven  came  back  strong,  and 
at  last  made  their  score  by  a  final  plunge 
by  Wilson.     The  officials  then  called  the 

fame  as  the  shadows  completely  hid  the 
eld  of  play,  making  every  play  a  matter 
of  luck. 

The  Varsity  line  did  not  shine  particular- 
ly in  this  game,  for  the  lighter  opponents, 
fighting  like  mad  all  the  time,  more  than 
held  the  Michigan  forwards.  Repeated  at- 
tempts by  the  Varsity  backs  to  gain  through 
the  line  failed,  and  it  was  only  by  end  run6 
from  a  punt  formation  that  the  Wolverines 
made  their  ground. 

Twice  durmg  the  game  Splawn  negotiated 
drop  kicks,  once  from  the  23-yard  mark 
and  another  time  while  standing  on  the  30- 
yard  line.  At  another  time  a  mix-up  in  the 
signals  prevented  still  one  more  score  from 
the  field  by  this  wizard  kicker.

MICHIGAN.  23;  VANDERBILT,  3 

In  a  sea  of  mud  and  with  a  torrent  of 
rain  falling  during  its  latter  stages,  Mich- 
igan defeated  the  heavy  Vanderbilt  eleven 


on  October  10  by  a  score  of  23  to  3.  The 
Commodore  score  came  early  in  the  first 
half  when  Cody  made  a  perfect  place  kick, 
and  put  the  Commodores  ahead  of  the  Var- 
sity. 

Michigan's  attack  and  defense  in  this 
game  proved  that  the  Varsity  eleven  was 
able  to  rise  above  conditions  and  prove 
equal  to  the  occasion,  no  matter  what  the 
handicap  under  which  the  men  were  forced 
to  play.  A  slippery  ball,  uncertain  footing 
and  disagreeable  conditions  failed  to  slow 
the  Michigan  attack,  and  three  touchdowns 
were  scored  on  the  strong  Vanderbilt  de- 
fense. There  should  have  been  at  least  two 
more  touchdowns,  for  the  Michigan  backs 
fumbled  the  oval  that  manv  times  when 
they  were  inside  the  visitors  5-yard  mark. 
Once  Splawn  let  loose  of  the  ball  after  he 
had  gone  over  for  the  final  distance,  and 
on  the  other  occasion  the  quarterback 
mussed  up  the  pass  to  his  backs. 

But  despite  these  discouraging  mistakes, 
the  Varsity  made  their  last  touchdown  after 
the  Commodores  had  repeatedly  hurled 
them  back. 

As  in  the  games  which  had  come  before, 
Maulbetsch  proved  to  be  the  man  to  make 
the  final  few  yards  necessary  for  the  score. 
Tw4ce  this  unstoppable  plunger  took  the 
ball  over  the  goal  line,  while  Hughitt  made 
the  other  score.  Splawn  missed  an  attempt 
at  a  drop-kick  when  the  water-soaked  ball 
slid  around  in  his  hands  and  the  kick  went 
low  and  short. 

Michigan  tried  the  forward  pass  play  but 
twice,  the  slippery  condition  of  the  ball 
making  this  play  far  from  feasible.  Except 
in  the  third  quarter  when  Yost  had  a  sub- 
stitute eleven  in  the  field,  the  Vanderbilt 
attack  was  powerless  in  the  face  of  the 
stubborn  Michigan  defense.  The  Varsity 
forwards  outplayed  their  heavier  and  more 
experienced  opponents  at  nearly  every 
stage  of  the  game. 

The  line-up  was  as  follows:

MICHIGAN,  3;  M.  A.  C.  0 

Before  a  throng  of  13,000  people,  the 
majority  of  whom  were  supremely  confi- 
dent M.  A.  C.  supporters,  Michigan  took 
revenge  for  the  1913  defeat  at  the  hands  of 
the  Farmers  by  winning  a  3  to  o  victory  in 
a  fiercely  fought  contest  on  October  17. 
Thereby  not  only  was  a  blot  wiped  off  the 
Michigan  record,  but  about  2,000  Michigan 
men  who  were  present,  were  given  a  chance 
to  voice  their  jubilation  in  the  Agricultural 
College   stronghold. 

The  Varsity  played  purely  a  defensive 
game,  hiding  their  real  strength  from  the 
scouts  in  the  stands,  and  making  jus^t 
enough  points  to  win.  Once  the  opponents 
came  near  scoring,  but  Michigan's  defense 
held  until  the  whistle  brought  an  end  to  the 
first  half.  The  ball  was  inside  the  Varsity's 
lo-yard  line  when  the  officials  stepped  in, 
having  been  brought  there  on  long  runs 
around  Lyons  and  by  hard  smashes  through 
the  Michigan  line.  But  outside  of  this  one 
time,  M.  A.  C.  never  dangerously  threat- 
ened. 

Although  the  losers  repeatedly  threw 
back  the  Michigan  offense  despite  the  best 
attempts  by  the  Varsity,  Michigan  had  com- 
plete command  of  the  game  at  all  times. 
Quarterback  Hughitt  carefully  conserved 
his  attack,  using  only  the  simplest  of  for- 
mations until  an  opportunity  of  scoring 
came,  and  then  he  opened  up. 

The  chance  came  in  the  last  quarter. 
Michigan  got  the  ball  near  the  middle  of 
the  field.  ,  Hughitt  called  for  a  forward 
pass  and  Lyons  made  a  perfect  catch  down 
on  the  M.  A.  C.  15-yard  line.  If  he  hadn't 
stumbled  'he  would  Have  gone  over  for  a 
touchdown,  for  the  field  in  front  of  him 
was  clear.  A  former  trial  of  strength  ear- 
lier in.  the. game  had  shown  the  Varsity 
that  it  couldn't  score  a  touchdown  against 
the  Farmers'  defense,  so  Hughitt  elected  to 
hr'/ng  Splawn's  toe  into  action.  The  ball 
was  taken  to  the  middle  of  the  field  on  two 
end  runs,  and  then  the  Varsity  kicker  made 
the  3  points. 

M.  A.  C.  led  by  their  smashing  captain. 
Fullback  Julian,  came  back  like  demons, 
but  the  Wolverines  held  and  the  game  was 
Michigan's. 

The  game  came  near  to  proving  disas- 
trous to  Yost>  hopes,  for  Hughitt  suffered 
a  dislocated  left  elbow  in  one  of  his  tackles 
of  Blake  Miller.  The  injury  at  the  time 
promised  to  keep  him  out  of  play  for  the 
re3t  of  the  year,  but  later  examination  al- 
layed these  fears. 

Captain  Rayrisford  and  Cochran  were  the 
defensive  stars  in  this  battle  for  revenge. 


with  Maulbetsch  sharing  the  offensive  hon- 
ors with  Hughitt  and  Splawn.  The  Mich- 
igan line,  for  the  first  time  during  the 
season,  was  pitted  against  a  vicious  attack, 
but  it  was  able  to  hold  it  in  check  through- 
out the  four  quarters.  The  Michigan  right 
end,  where  Lyons  was  playing,  was  the 
weak  spot  in  the  Varsity's  defense,  and 
Blake  Miller  and  Julian  made  long  gains 
in  this  direction.

SYRACUSE,  20;  MICHIGAN.  6 

With  Quarterback  Hughitt  out  of  the 
game  on  account  of  his  injured  elbow,  with 
two  brand  new  ends  in  the  line-up,  and  with 
Lyons  trying  to  play  a  position  at  half  back 
with  which  he  was  unfamiliar,  Michigan 
lost  to  Syracuse  in  the  easterners'  stadium 
on  October  24,  by  a  score  of  20  to  6.  It  was 
the  first  time  in  several  seasons  that  an 
eleven  had  scored  three  touchdowns  on  the 
Michigan  Varsity,  and  it  was  not  until 
Tuesday  that  the  Syracuse  students  ceased 
their  celebration. 

Coach  Fielding  H.  Yost  declared  after 
the  game  that  Michigan  had  literally  hand- 
ed the  victory  to  the  Orangemen.  Bad 
breaks  by  the  Varsity  backfield  were  re^ 
sponsible  for  the  Syracuse  scores,  which  in 
at  least  two  instances  should  never  have 
been  made,  according  to  Yost. 

Once  a  punt,  which  should  have  placed 
the  ball  far  up  the  field  and  out  of  danger, 
was  carried  back  through  the  Michigan 
tacklers,  and  Syracuse  rushed  it  over.  At 
another  time  an  off-side  play  gave  them  the 
ball  on  the  Varsity's  4-yard  line.  It  re- 
quired four  rushes  to  put  it  over,  but  even 
the  stalwart  resistance  which  Michigan  put 
forth  could  not  prevent  a  touchdown  under 
such  a  handicap.  Catlett,  who  had  gone  in 
at  full-back  for  the  injured  Splawn,  was 
the  man  responsible  for  the  break.  After 
the  game   he   broke   down,   and   even   the

assurances  of  his  team-mates  could  not 
comfort  him.  Catlett  was  suffering  from  a 
shimp  in  his  real  form,  for  his  regular 
playing  this  season  has  been  of  a  high  class. 

Had  Splawn  been  able  to  continue  in  the 
game  the  result  would  have  been  different, 
according  to  the  coach,  in  spite  of  the  hand- 
icap of  new  men  under  which  the  Varsity 
was  working.  This  kicker  would  have  been 
able  to  make  the  extra  point  after  touch- 
down which  would  have  put  Michigan  out 
ahead  by  a  7  to  6  score,  and  also  would 
have  been  able  to  punt  out  of  danger  at  the 
critical  moments.  But  he  was  not,  and  the 
critics  were  given  their  opportunity  to  pre- 
dict an  overwhelmir.g  victory  for  Harvard 
for  the  following  week. 

Syracuse  made  her  touchdown  first,  after 
Michigan  had  valiantly  thrown  back  one 
threatened  successful  assault  on  her  goal 
line.  The  home  eleven  started  its  march 
on  the  Michigan  35-yard  line,  and  by  suc- 
cessive rushes,  always  stoutly  resisted,  took 
the  ball  over.  Rose  failed  to  kick  goal,  and 
the  Varsity  was  given  its  chance. 

The  blue-clad  players  rose  to  the  occasion, 
and  with  their  only  real  display  of  offensive 
fight  in  the  whole  game,  took  the  ball  pver 
bv  a  perfectly-executed  forward  pass  from 
Catlett  to  Lyons  and  a  fina(  plunge  by 
Maulbetsch.  All  this  happened  in  the  third 
quarter,  but  in  the  next  period  Syracuse 
started  its  mowing  tactics,  and  added  the 
two  last  touchdowns  which  spelled  bitter 
defeat  to  Yost  and  his  men.  Watson,  who 
was  called  on  to  take  the  place  of  Splawn 
at  kicking  the  goal,  had  missed,  and  de- 
prived Michigan  of  the  shallo>y  honor  of 
having  been  at  one  time  on  the  long  end  of 
the  score. 


With  Benton  and  Whalen  playing  ends 
for  the  first  time,  and  with  Lyons  in  the 
backfield,  numerous  shifts  in  the  Michigan 
defense  were  necessary  to  balance  the  team. 
Despite  this,  the  exhibition  of  stubborn  re- 
sistance shown  by  Captain  Raynsford  and 
his  men  when  Syracuse  was  trying  to  make 
a  touchdown  from  the  4-yard  line,  sent  the 
10,000  spectators  wild  with  enthusiasm. 
Three  times  the  smashing  attack  of  Rose 
and  Wilkinson  was  thrown  back  without 
gaining  an  inch.  But  the  terrific  strain  was 
too  much,  and  on  the  last  time  the  Syracuse 
right  half  back  went  over.

stating  that  at  a  meeting  of  the  Faculty  of 
the  Department  of  Engineering,  September 
25,  it  was  voted  to  recommend  to  the 
Regents  that  the  proposed  combined  Course 
be  approved,  in  accordance  with  the  fol- 
lowing letter  from  Professor  Clarence  W. 
Greene,  of  Albion  College,  the  arrangement 
of  the  curricula  and  other  details  to  be  sub- 
ject to  approval  by  the  Faculty  of  the 
E>epartment  of  Engineering. 

Dear  Professor  Cooley:— 

You  will   recall   the  conference  held  last  year 
in  President  Hutchins'  room  between  the  Deans 


of  the  various  departments  of  the  University  and 
a  committee  from  the  faculty  of  Albion  College. 
At  that  conference  you  suggested  that  it  would 
be  desirable  for  our  faculty  to  provide  for  the 
first  three  ^ears  of  the  Five  Year  Combined 
Literary-Engineering  Course  and  to  confer  the 
Degree  of  Bachelor  of  Arts  upon  our  students 
these  three  years  of  work  and  the 
work  in  the  Department  of  Engi- 


who  complete  these  three  years  of  work  and  the 
Junior  Year's  work  in  the  Department  of  Engi- 
neering of  the  University.  Our  faculty  voted 
favorably    and    our   committee   has    arranged   the 


courses  for  three  years  as  indosed.  If  you  deem 
it  wise  to  substitute  for  any  of  the  courses  raven 
in  our  outline  other  courses  given  in  our  Year 
Book,  we  shall  be  pleased  to  make  the  change. 

(The  balance  of  the  letter  refers  to  cumcula 
and  is  omitted.)

KENOSHA,  WW. 

The  first  full  meeting  of  the  Kenosha 
L^niversity  of  Michigan  Club  was  held  on 
Tuesday  evening,  September  22,  at  the  res- 
idence of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Frank  H.  Lyman, 
and  it  was  a  niost  enthusiastic  gathering. 
From  Mr.  E.  L.  Grant,  '66,  and  Mr.  Lyman, 
'68,  to  the  "infant,"  C.  G.  Pendill,  '13,  a 
goodly  number  of  classes  were  represented. 
The  complete  enrolment  follows:  C.  L. 
Grant,  '66,  F.  H.  Lyman,  '68,  H.  J.  Winsten, 
'98,  Aart '  Van  Westrienen,  *ggfn,  G.  N. 
Tremper,  '01,  Miss  Anna  J.  Miller,  '05,  J. 
F.  Hastings,  'o6m,  Mrs.  J.  F.  Hastings, 
01-03,  (Bernice  E.  Stretch,)  Eugene  T. 
Bermingham,  'o5-'o7,  C.  L.  Ritter,  'o8e,  R. 
S.  Bogg,  'loe,  J.  Maurice  Albers,  ^'o6-'o9, 
Miss  Florence  B.  Hammond,  '12,  Miss 
Katherine  G.  Tuomy,  '12,  A.  H.  Frehse, 
ex'i2^,  C.  G.  Pendill,  '13. 

G.  N.  Tremper  is  president  of  the  Asso- 
ciation for  the  coming  year,  and  C.  G.  Pen- 
dill is  secretary  and  treasurer.  All  the 
ladies  of  the  Association  are  to  act  as  vice- 
president,  when  the  necessity  arises,  in  or- 
der of  their  graduation. 

The  fore  part  of  the  evening  was  spent 
in  swapping  experiences,  or  as  they  were 
called  "alumnicie^."  Mr.  Lyman  has  a 
wonderfully  complete  and  well  preserved 
collection  of  old  pictures  of  professors,  stu- 
dents and  campus  scenes,  numerous  copies 
of  early  catalogues  and  volumes  of  "The 
Palladium,"  as  well  as  a  fund  of  entertain- 
ing reminiscences.  We  sang  to  piano  and 
mandolin  accompaniment,  and  with  diffi- 
culty settled  down  to  business.  It  was 
moved  that  the  next  meeting  be  held  on 
the  evening  of  October  31,  to  celebrate  the 
Harvard  game,  and  arrangements  were 
placed  in  the  hands  of  a  committee  headed 
by  Dr.  Hastings.  Even  at  this  early  date, 
plans  were  laid  for  the  attendance  of  the 
whole  club  at  the  Chicago  production  of 
the  Michigan  Union  Opera  next  spring.  So 
enthusiastic  and  enjoyable  was  the  meeting 
that  it  was  a  late  hour  when  we  sang  the 
"Yellow  and  the  Blue,"  cheered  old  Mich- 
igan and  adjourned. 

You  alumni  and  undergraduates  who  hap- 
pen into  this  part  of  Wisconsin,  remember 
us,  and  do  the  least  that  you  can  do — ^look 
us  up,  and  let  us  get  together. 

C.  G.  Pendill,  Secretary.

SAN  FRANCISCO 

A  Michigan  luncheon  and  smoker  was 
held  at  the  Hof  Brau  Cafe  by  the  San 
Francisco  Association,  on  Saturday,  Oc- 
tober 31.  Detailed  reports  of  the  Michigan- 
Harvard  game  were  sent  in  by  direct  wire 
from  the  grounds. 

NEW  YORK 

Some  time  during  the  summer  the  New 
York  Alumni  extended  a  luncheon  to  Hon. 
Thomas  J.  O'Brien,  '65/.  The  vaguely  dated 
Gothamite  for  Midsummer,  1914,  (Vol.  5, 
No.  8),  gives  the  following  interesting  par- 
ticulars, but  is  somcAvhat  reticent  regarding 
the  date.  The  omission  was  noted  too  late 
for  The  Alumnus  to  send  a  "tracer"  for 
the  lost  article.  But  the  "story"  is  just 
as  good. 

After  a  short  informal  reception  and  a 
mingling  and  chatting  of  old  friends 
and  new  in  the  lobby  of  the  Lawyers*  Club, 


the  room  set  apart  for  the  luncheon  was 
comfortably  filled  by  the  fifty-six  members 
and  guests,  and  immediately  the  buzz  of 
conversation  was  resumed. 

The  buzz  suddenly  died  down  and  as 
suddenly  changed  to  a  roar — the  old  U.  of 
M.  yell.  And  a  yell  it  was.  Strange  how 
a  college  man  can  forget  all  he  ever  learned 
(or  learned  to  bluff  about)  in  Math,  Phys- 
ics, Torts,  Greek  or  Materia  Medica,  but  he 


THOMAS  JAMES  O'BRIEN,  '65L,  LL.D.  '08 
U.  S.  Minister  to  Denmark,  Japan  and  Italy 

never  forgets  his  old-time  college  yell.  It 
brings  him  back  over  a  stretch  of  long  ab- 
sence from  the  scenes  of  the  best  time  of 
his  life  and  transplants  him  into  the  land  of 
memory.  When  carried  along  on  that  wave 
of  psychologic  impulse,  nothing  seems  im- 
probable or  impossible  to  him.  "Prexy*' 
Gene  Worden  sensed  this  immediately  with 
that  ever-working  mind  of  his,  and  fran- 
tically signaled  to  Wade  Greene  to  get 
around  and  collect  some  dues,  but  Wade 
was  at  that  moment  too  far  up  in  the 
stands,  back  in  the  old  "Michigan  Hurry" 
times,  yelling  for  the  backs  to  put  over  a 
few  more  touchdowns.  So  was  the  rare 
opportunity  lost.

in  the  jungles  of  Colombia,  S.  A.,  was  a 
mighty  strong  factor  on  the  football  team 
back  there  in  the  '90s.  He  was  on  the 
team  on  that  famous  trip  East,  playing  end, 
when  Harvard  scored  that  lone  heart- 
breaking touchdown  against  them.  To  such 
men  it  means  a  heap  to  get  together  to 
talk  over  old  times  with  old  chums  and 
hear  the  old  songs  and  yells. 

After  a  short  opener  by  Prexy  Worden, 
Mr.  Babst  spoke  in  his  usual  nailhitting 
style  on  the  subject  which  has  been  his  pet 
for  some  time — of  the  prominence  of  Mich- 
igan men  in  the  public  life  of  the  nation. 
"With  a  prevalence  of  college  men  in  the 
administrative  and  executive  offices  of  the 
country  and  its  possessions,  Michigan  leads 
in  some,  and  comes  close  to  leading 
in  many  other  departments  of  the  State 
and  nation.  This  is  no  idle  boast,  but  is 
a  fact,  of  which  we  are  justly  proud."  This 
was  the  gist  of  his  talk,  which  ended  with 
words  of  praise  for  the  work  done  by  Am- 
bassador O'Brien,  both  for  his  service  to 
his  country  and  his  part  in  elevating  the 
status  of  Michigan. 

The  genial  president  next  introduced  a 
man  from  the  Mikado's  Isle,  where  Mr. 
O'Brien  served  some  four  years  as  Ambas- 
sador. Dr.  Toyokichi  lyenaga  was  intro- 
duced as  a  neighbor  of  ours,  having  grad- 
uated in  1887  from  Oberlin,  taking  his 
Ph.D.  at  Johns  Hopkins  in  1890.  His  talk 
was  a  marvel.  If  the  staid  English  lan- 
guage can  be  made  at  once  so  straight  to 
the  point  and  so  artistically  flowery  by  one 
to  whom  it  is  a  comparative  stranger,  the 
Japanese  tongue  must  certainly  be  capable 
of  the  most  delicate  and  beautiful  phrase- 
ology. 

Dr.  lyenaga  spoke  of  the  diplomatic  re- 
lations between  Japan  and  the  United 
States,  which  started  with  the  advent  of 
Admiral  Perry  with  his  peaceful  fleet  of , 
war  in  the  principal  harbor  of  that  country, 
which  had  for  all  time  been  barred  to  for- 
eigners. From  this  start  the  peaceful  rela- 
tions which  existed  with  this  country  kept 
on  unbroken  for  half  a  century;  foreign 
trade  with  all  the  nations  was  built  up, 
and  the  Japanese  prospered  and  forged 
ahead  as  a  result  of  their  sudden  awaken- 
ing. But,  as  is  the  case  with  most  civilized 
nations,  the  dove  of  peace  was  incarcerated 
and  generally  maltreated  when  the  little 
brown  men  so  vigorously  twisted  the  tail 
of  the  Chinese  Dragon,  and  showed  their 
prowess  on  both  land  and  sea  when  they 
stopped  the  growls  of  the  Russian  Bear. 

The  prestige  thus  gained  as  a  nation  of 
war  caused  various  rumors  as  to  an  inten- 
tion on  their  part  to  expand  territorially  by 
seizing  the  Philippines  and  Hawaii.  Quite 
a  large  element  fully  believed  this  to  be  a 
certamty,  and  Nippon  was  looked  upon  as 


a  deadly  menace  to  the  United  States  in 
particular.  This  state  of  mind  of  the 
American  people,  made  much  of  as  it  was 
in  the  newspapers,  together  with  the  first 
mutterings  of  the  trouble  over  the  Cali- 
fornia land  question,  served  to  make  the 
diplomatic  relations  between  the  two  coun- 
tries rather  strained. 

All  this  was  just  prior  to  the  time  that 
Mr.  O'Brien  took  the  ambassadorial  reins 
in  hand.  While  it  cannot  be  said  that  the 
state  of  the  feelings  between  the  Japanese 
and  the  Americans  is  as  amicable  as  in  that 
peaceful  half  century  before,  Dr.  lyenaga 
assured  us  that  from  the  time  Mr.  O'Brien 
had  taken  charge  until  he  returned  the  re- 
lations had  shown  a  most  remarkable 
change  on  the  side  of  improvement.  And, 
indeed,  with  a  nation  of  men  of  the  type 
of  Dr.  lyenaga,  one  cannot  imagine  any 
but  pleasant  and  prosperous  relations  to 
prevail. 

Mr.  O'Brien  replied  briefly,  with  an  ex- 
pression of  his  appreciation  of  the  honor 
tendered  him  by  the  Club  and  a  sincere 
desire  for  the  success  of  all  Michigan  men. 
It  was  somewhat  of  a  surprise  to  him  to 
learn  that  there  are  such  a  large  number 
of  our  alumni  in  New  York  City.  Quite 
a  sure  sign,  indeed,  of  the  extensive  dis- 
tribution of  the  graduates. 

MINNEAPOUS  ALUMNAE 

The  Club  of  University  of  Michigan  Wo- 
men of  Minneapolis  was  entertained  Thurs-

A  -REUNION  ODE"  BY  PRESIDENT 
TAPPAN 

The  following  reunion  ode  by  Michigan's 
first  President,  Henry  Philip  Tappan,  is  an 
interesting  supplement  to  Mr.  Finney's  arti- 
cle on  his  literary  remains  now  in  the  Uni- 
versity Library.  We  take  this  from  the 
July- August  number  of  the  Union  Alumni 
Monthly.  It  is  dated  1825,  and  was  there- 
fore written  when  President  was  a  senior 
at  Union. 

REUNION   ODE. 
Air :   America, 

Brothers  I  we're  here  once  more — 
Not  as  in  davs  of  yore. 

When  life  was  )roung. 
And  'mid  that  morning  lignt, 
Hope,  as  an  angel  bright, 
Before  our  raptured  sight 

Her  visions  hung.

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[November 


Home  of  our  early  thought  I 
Where,  hand  in  hand,  we  sought 

Knowledge  and  truth. 
Receive  us  back  again, 
Coming  as  care-worn  men, 
As  you  received  us  then 

In  early  youth. 

Some  are  not  with  us  here — 
Their  mem'rv  claims  a  tear — 

The  hallowed   dead  I 
To  brighter  worlds  now  flown. 
Their  work  of  life  well  done. 
For  noble  thoughts  were  sown 

Ere  they  had  fled. 

Here  let  us  pledge  our  truth, 
As  erst  in  early  youth, 

Faithful  to  be  I 
The  honored  name  we  bear. 


The  holy  trusts  we  share. 
Claim  that  we  do  and  dare 
All  manfully. 

A  higher  life  to  live, 

More  precious  gifts  to  give ; 

This  is  our  part ; 
That,  when  our  work  is  done 
And  we  the  prize  have  won, 
We,   like  the   setting  sun, 

May  hence  depart. 

So  say  we  all  of  us. 
So  say  we  all  of  us. 

So  say  we  all; 
So  say  we  all  of  us, 
S«  say  we  all  of  us. 
So  say  we  all  of  us, 

So  say  we  all. 

Henry   Philip  Tappan,    1825.

POEMS,  LEONARD  LANSON  CUNE 

In  putting  out  the  verse  of  Leonard 
Lanson  Cline,  the  Poet  Lore  Company  has 
done  something  more  than  merely  add  one 
more  to  the  many  thin  books  of  miscel- 
laneous poetry.     On  a  number  of  varied 


themes,  and  grouped  only  under  the  simple 
title,  "Poems,**  the  verses  are  all  touched 
with  a  genuine  artistic  passion  and  true 
sense  of  beauty.  In  the  dedicatory  piece 
and  in  several  sonnets,  Mr.  Cline  reaches 
a  very  high  plane  with  ease  and  original

force.  'He  imlulges  in  archaisms  and  intri- 
cacies of  expression  but  his  thought  has 
sufficient  vitality  to  make  itself  clear.  In 
some  cases,  notably  in  the  sonnet  entitled 
"Rossetti,"  careless  proof  reading  has  re- 
sulted in  bad  spelling  and  the  obscurity  is 
not  the  poet's  fault  The  work  of  the 
volume  as  a  whole  is  promising  in  spirit 
and  temperament  and  should  interest  lovers 
of  poetry  in  'Mr.  Oine's  future  work.

THE  LATER  CONTEMPORARIES  OF 
SHAKESPEARE 

In  the  third,  as  in  the  first  volume  of  his 
Representative  English  Comedies,  Profes- 
sor Charles  Mills  Gayley  has  gathered  the 
critical  opinions  of  a  number  of  American 
and  English  scholars  on  an  interesting 
group  of  the  later  contemporaries  of 
Shakespeare  and  introduces  their  work  with 
the  second  part  of  the  essay  which  was 
begun  in  the  second  volume,  on  a  compara- 
tive view  of  Shakespeare's  followers.  The 
critical  essays,  each  of  which  introduces  a 
separate  play,  are  all  in  substantial  agree- 
ment with  Professor  Gayley's  opinion  that 
the  oblivion  which  has  fallen  upon  the 
plays  is  not  altogether  undeserved.  Pro- 
fessor A.  F.  Lange,  of  California,  edits  and 
discusses  Dekker;  H.  Butler  Clarke,  of 
Oxford,  Middleton  and  Rowley;  Professor 
Saintsbury,  of  Edinburgh,  writes  on  Flet- 
cher; Brander  Matthews  on  Massinger; 
George  P.  Baker  on  Brome,  and  Sir  A.  W. 
Ward,  of  Cambridge,  on  Shirley. 

The  effort  in  editions  and  introductory 
discussion  has  been  to  meet  the  needs  of 
the  student  rather  than  the  general  reader, 
and  the  volume  contains  a  surprising  col- 
lection of  historical  data  and  discussion. 
Not  only  the  individuals,  but  theatrical  his- 
tory and  general  movements  are  discussed. 
Professor  Saintsbur/s  essay  on  Fletcher 
is  not  so  complete,  perhaps,  as  the  others, 
but  makes  up  for  it  in  spirit  and  style.  The 
editions  of  the  plays  are  modernized  only 
as  much  as  seems  necessary.  Editions, 
notes,  and  critical  essays  together  offer  the 
student  a  copiously  detailed  description  of 
the  principal  plays  and  poets  of  the  period 


beginning  with  Shakespeare's  late  maturity 
and  ending  twenty  years  after  his  death.

work  will  supplement  the  book  on  the  same 
subject  publisihed  last  year  by  Dr.  William

article,  "Water  Purification  by  Ozone,"  Mr.

FACULTY 
SALARIES 
ADVANCE 


Last  month  we  sug- 
gested that  the  in- 
crease in  the  income 
of  the  University 
through  the  re-equalization  of  proper- 
ty values  in  the  State  might  have  some 
cdHFect  upon  the  professorial  salary. 
The  expected  has  come  to  pass.  At  the 
last  meeting  of  the  Regents  the  aggre- 
gate appropriation  for  professorial 
salaries  in  the  University  was  in- 
creased by  about  $40,000.00.  The  im- 
mediate rehef  came  as  it  properly 
should,  in  the  lower  ranks,  where  the 
need  of  some  increase  commensurate 
with  the  increase  in  the  cost  of  living 
has  been  particularly  pressing.  CH  This 
change  in  the  salary  schedule  affects 
a  large  proportion  of  the  instructors 
and  assistant  professors  in  the  Liter- 
ary Faculty  and  the  academic 
Faculty  in  the  Engineering  De- 
partment, whose  rate  of  payment 
has  in  every  case  been  increased 
by  at  least  $100.  Formerly  the  in- 
structor started  at  a  salary  of  $900, 
gradually  increasing  to  $1,400.  Under 
3ic  revised  schedule  he  starts  at  $1,000 
and  is  gradually  promoted  to  $1,600. 
The  same  is  true  with  certain  modifi- 
cations in  the  other  ranks.  The  revis- 
ed scale  is  as  follows:  Instructors, 
$i,ooo$i,6oo,  formerly  $900-$! 400; 
assistant  professors,  $i,7oo-$2,ooo, 
formerly  $i,6oo-$i,8(X);  junior  profes- 
sors, $2,ioo-$2400,  formerly  $2,000- 
$2,200;  professors,  $2,500-$4,ooo,  for- 
merly $2.5oo-$3,5oo.  The  changes  in 
salaries   affect   more   than   200   per- 


sons. CH  While  these  changes  arc  by 
no  means  as  large  as  they  should  be, 
they  indicate  a  readiness  on  the  part 
of  the  Univ^ersity  to  recognize  the 
problem  involved  in  the  cost  of  living 
for  instructor  and  professor.  The 
schedule  even  now  is  not  as  high  as 
in  some  of  our  neighboring  univer- 
sities, but  it  is  at  any  rate  the  first 
step  toward  a  new  order  of  things. 


MICHIGAN 
AND  ALBION 
CO-OPERATE 


In  the  editorial  taken 
from  The  Detroit 
News  published  in 
The  Ai^umnus  last 
month,  we  had  evidence  of  the  quick 
appreciation  of  the  plans  for  co-opera- 
tion between  the  University  and  Al- 
bion College,  which  may  be  expected. 
In  fact,  this  came  almost  before  the 
idea  was  perfected,  for  it  was  not  un- 
til October  17  that  the  final  details  of 
the  arrangement  were  approved  by  a 
joint  committee  of  the  two  faculties. 
The  recommendations  made  by  this 
committee  were  approved  by  the  Re- 
gents at  their  November  meeting,  and 
may  now  be  considered  definitely 
fixed,  dt  Though  the  scheme  contem- 
plates co-operation  only  between  Al- 
bion and  the  Engineering  Department 
of  the  University,  the  possibilities 
which  it  introduces  arc  far-reaching. 
Now  that  the  first  step  has  been  taken, 
it  would  hardly  be  surprising  to  find 
co-operation  betwe«j  oUier  colleges  in 
the  State  and  other  departments  of  the 
University.     Not  only  does  tiie  pro-

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[December 


posed  action  indicate  a  way  to  bring 
the  University  into  a  closer  co-opera- 
tion with  the  smaller  colleges  of  the 
State,  an  end  in  itself  particularly  de- 
sirable, but  it  also  makes  possible,  for 
those  who  desire  it,  the  advantages  of 
the  more  intimate  life  of  a  small  col- 
lege during  the  earlier  years  of  the 
college  course. 


Like  many  actions  of 
DETAILS  OF  THE  a  revolutionary  na- 
PROPOSED  COURSE  ture,  the  actual  pro- 
visions for  this  com- 
bination between  the  University  and 
Albion  College  are  exceedingly  simple. 
In  general,  it  is  supposed  that  the  stu- 
dent will  spend  three  years  at  Albion 
College  and  two  years  at  the  Univer- 
sity. At  the  end  of  his  first  year's 
work  in  the  University,  provided  the 
report  is  satisfactory,  he  will  receive 
his  A.B.  from  Albion  College,  the  lat- 
ter institution  being  willing  to  accept 
the  work  done  in  the  University  as  be- 
ing equivalent  to  the  fourth  year.  Up- 
on completing  the  requirements  for 
graduation  from  the  Engineering  De- 
partment, the  student  receives  from 
the  University  the  degree  of  Bachelor 
of  Science  in  Engineering.  CH  The 
work  performed  at  Albion  will  be  of 
such  character  and  extent  as  to  enable 
the  student  in  the  combined  course  to 
enter  the  third  year  of  the  regular  en- 
gineering course  at  the  University, 
though  certain  minor  adjustments  will 
have  to  be  made  involving  the  giving 
of  courses,  which  would  normally 
come  in  the  third  year  in  the  Engi- 
neering Department,  at  Albion,  in  or- 
der that  the  student  may  not  be  hand- 
icapped by  having  to  make  up  certain 
other  courses  which  would  normally 
come  in  the  second  year  at  Ann  Ar- 
bor, for  which  facilities  are  not  avail- 
able at  Albion  College.  Though  Al- 
bion requires  the  same  number  of 
units  for  entrance  as  the  University, 
it  does  not  insist  upon  physics  or 
chemistry  or  three  units  of  mathemat- 
ics.    These  have  been  added  to  the 


course  at  Albion,  so  that  the  student 
will  have  covered  the  work  necessary 
to  enable  him  to  enter  the  third  year 
when  he  makes  the  change.  It  is  also 
to  be  noted  that  in  the  third  year  of 
the  combined  course,  an  average  of 
seven  hours  is  allowed  for  electives, 
with  a  view  to  fitting  the  student  to 
enter  some  of  the  specialized  branches 
of  engineering  at  the  University.  Pro- 
vision is  also  made  for  a  certain 
number  of  cultural  courses. 


NOW  rr  IS  OVER 


It  is  an  unfortunate 
fact  that  the  score 
counts  more  in  any 
game  than  the  way  it 
is  played.  So  Michigan's  team  this 
year  must  be  considered  only  partly 
successful,  for  it  cannot  be  denied 
that  the  record  is  a  checkered  one. 
But  the  schedule  —  a  long  and  hard 
one,  with  five  games  of  major  impor- 
tance, or  counting  Vanderbilt,  six,  in 
as  many  weeks,  must  be  considered  a 
more  than  sufficient  excuse,  particu- 
larly for  a  green  team.  CH  Starting 
early  with  a  close  call  at  Lansing, 
when  one  field  goal  was  the  margin  of 
victory  over  the  Agricultural  College, 
and  a  defeat  the  following  week  at 
Syracuse,  the  ability  of  the  team  to 
hold  Harvard  to  one  score  came  as  a 
great  surprise.  Nor  was  the  good 
feeling  engendered  between  the  repre- 
sentatives of  East  and  West  the  least 
satisfactory  part  of  this  game.  The 
Pennsylvania  game  on  the  following 
Saturday  gave  even  more  ground  for 
satisfaction.  It  was  a  decisive  vic- 
tory and  by  a  greater  score  than  in  any 
previous  game  with  Pennsylvania,  un- 
less it  was  the  1908  game,  when  Penn- 
sylvania won  29  to  o.  Then  came  the 
unfortunate  conclusion  of  the  season. 
Cornell  was  admittedly  a  strong 
team,  but  Michigan  thought  she  had 
some  reason  to  believe  that  she  was  at 
least  Cornell's  equal.  The  event 
proved  the  contrary,  though  the  team 
when  it  met  Cornell  was  by  no  means 
as  strong  as  it  was  when  it  played

Harvard  and  Pennsylvania.  (S.  Not  a 
little  of  this  lack  of  success,  as  has 
been  suggested,  can  be  ascribed  to  the 
schedule.  Even  though,  theoretically, 
it  matters  little  whether  the  game  is 
lost  or  won,  it  surely  does  matter 
whether  the  physically  impossible  is 
asked  of  competitors  in  college  sport. 
Is  it  not  too  much  to  ask  a  team  to 
make  a  showing,  in  the  face  of  such  a 
schedule  as  Michigan  had  for  the  sea- 
son just  ended,  creditable  to  an  insti- 
tution of  her  athletic  standing?  A 
game  is  a  game,  played  on  Ferry  Field, 
or  on  Soldier's  Field,  and  Harvard  is 
as  worthy  an  opponent  on  one  place 
as  the  other,  but  we  wonder  whether 
there  is  not  a  little  sacrifice  of  dignity, 
if  there  be  such  a  thing  as  college  dig- 
nity, in  submitting  to  conditions  which 
our  opponents  are  not  willing'  in  their 
turn  to  see  imposed  upon  themselves. 
We  would,  however,  rejoice  with  ev- 
eryone to  see  reciprocal  relations  es- 
tablished with  Harvard,  which  did  not 
ask  superhuman  efforts  from  the  team. 


Dr.  Talcott  Williams, 
^/JANflLUON  Dean  of  the  School 
GRADUATES  ^^  Journalism  of  Co- 
lumbia University,  in 
an  address  given  before  the  Maryland 
alumni  of  Columbia  last  April,  stated 
that  ten  years  ago,  according  to  care- 
ful estimates  made  by  Professor  Wil- 
cox, of  Cornell,  there,  were  two  hun- 
dred thousand  college  graduates  in  the 
United  States.  These  came  from  a 
body  of  twenty  million  adult  men  in 
this  country,  a  percentage  of  one  in 
one  hundred.  To  these  two  hundred 
thousand  might  be  added  the  grad- 
uates of  professional  schools,  making 
a  total  of  not  over  two  hundred  and 
thirty  to  two  hundred  and  forty  thou- 
sand. CC  This  number  has,  of  course, 
increased  within  the  last  ten  years,  so 
that  it  would  not  be  an  unreasonable 
estimate  to  suppose  that  there  are  at 
least  four  hundred  thousand  college 
graduates  in  this  country  at  present. 
Possibly  with  the  graduates  of  profes- 


sional schools  and  women  graduates 
the  number  would  be  nearer  five  hun- 
dred thousand.  There  is  no  doubt  but 
that  in  this  body  we  have  the  greatest 
guiding  and  directing  force  in  the  de- 
velopment of  our  national  life  and  civ- 
ilization. Dr.  Williams  points  out  that 
though  the  college  man  forms  no 
more  than  one  hundredth  of  the  total 
men  in  the  country,  he  forms  over  fif- 
ty percent  of  those  named  in  "Who'« 
Who,"  the  best  single  measure  we 
have  of  effective  <:itizenship. 


This  body  of  college 
CO-OPERATION  graduates  is  becom- 
FORCOUXGEMENing  conscious  of  the 

force  that  lies  within 
it,  as  the  growth  of  alumni  organiza- 
tion in  the  past  twenty-five  years 
plainly  shows,  even  if  its  expression 
has  been  heretofore  confined  largely 
to  the  relationship  between  the  alum- 
nus and  his  own  institution.  The  tre- 
mendous value  of  this  organized  and 
intelligent  support  on  the  part  of  the 
graduates  of  American  colleges  and 
universities  is  now  so  generally  recog- 
nized that  we  are  in  the  way  to  forget 
how  recent  this  development  is.  CH  The 
appreciation  of  a  possible  mission  of 
organized  alumni  in  the  larger  nation- 
al life  has  been  more  inarticulate.  That 
this  day  is  passing,  and  that,  in  addi- 
tion to  recognizing  the  duty  to  their 
own  institution,  American  college 
alumni  are  coming  to  recognize  a  high- 
er responsibility  may  be  seen  from  the 
article  on  "Social  Work  Among  Col- 
lege Alumni''  on  page  146.  Co-opera- 
tion has  not  proceeded  far  as  yet,  but 
several  organizations  in  New  York 
and  elsewhere  are  aiming  to  bring  the 
graduates  of  all  colleges  into  work  for 
civic  and  social  improvement  The 
movement  has  served  in  the  cities 
where  it  has  been  established  to  carry 
alumni  organization  beyond  the  prob- 
lems of  the  separate  institutions  (im- 
portant they  surely  are),  into  the 
broader  field  of  public  life.  The  firing 
line  is  truly  of  impressive  proportions;

[December 


we  cannot  see  all  that  will  develop 
from  this  movement,  but  as  one  repre- 
sentative at  Columbia  said,  "We  are 
on  our  way." 


AMEETINGOF 

ALUMNI 

SECRETARIES 


The  recent  meeting 
of  Alumni  Secreta- 
ries at  Columbia  Uni- 
versity was  an  evi- 
dence of  the  serious  consideration  that 
American  universities  are  devoting  to 
alumni  problems.  This  was  shown, 
not  only  by  the  fact  that  sixty-two 
universities  were  represented  and  that 
delegates  came  from  the  far  West,  the 
extreme  South  and  the  Northwest,  as 
well  as  from  the  Mid  West  and  East- 
em  States,  but  by  the  spirit  in  which 
the  men  from  the  various  universities 
approached  their  work.  We  are  com- 
ing to  recognize  more  than  ever  be- 
fore that  the  function  of  the  univer- 
sity does  not  cease  with  the  gradua- 
tion of  the  student.  The  potential 
power  of  the  hundreds  of  thousands 
of  graduates  of  the  different  universi- 
ties, as  far  as  they  concern  their  own 
institution,  is  well  recognized,  even 
though  development  of  a  sympathetic 
and  stimulating  relationship  between 
the  university  and  the  alumnus  has 
not  proceeded  far  in  some  universi- 
ties. Even  universities  which  have 
most  effective  and  strongly  organized 
bodies  feel  that  there  is  more  to  do 
than  they  have  done  so  far,  while  the 
co-operation  of  the  alumni  of  various 
universities  in  dealing  with  certain 
problems  of  national  life  which  might 
quite  possibly  be  effectively  handled 
by  such  a  body  has  received  very  little 
consideration,  either  by  universities  or 
by  alumni  bodies.  (S.  At  the  meeting 
in  New  York,  the  problems  of  im- 
mediate interest  naturally  received  the 
greater  share  of  consideration,  as  will 
be  seen  from  the  program  on  page  126. 
We  have  always  with  us  the  problems 
of  effective  organization,  the  raising  of 
funds,  the  publication  of  alumni  re- 
cords and  the  alumni  magazine.  But 
in  each  university  they  are  conditioned 


by  the  particular  form  of  its  organiza- 
tion. In  the  statements  of  the  indivi- 
dual problems  and  the  means  that 
were  taken  to  meet  them,  and  the  give 
and  take  of  the  general  discussions 
by  the  representatives  of  the  various 
universities,  were  found  valuable  sug- 
gestions and  decided  inspiration.  The 
spirit  of  the  whole  meeting  was  an 
uplifting  and  altruistic  recognition  of 
the  relationship  of  alumni  organiza- 
tion toward  the  bettering  not  only  of 
college  and  university  Hfe,  but  also  the 
national  civiHzation. 


Like  the  often  quoted 
TYPES  OF  ALUMNI  problem  of  the  egg  or 
ORGANIZATION  the  chick,  the  ques- 
tion was  raised  at  the 
recent  meeting  of  Alumni  Secretaries 
by  Dean  Keppel,  of  Columbia,  as  to 
whether  the  alumni  secretary  was  the 
result  of  the  association,  or  the  asso- 
ciation the  result  of  the  secretary. 
Subsequent  discussion  revealed  the 
truth  of  both  hypotheses  in  different 
colleges.  In  most  universities,  the 
alumni  organization  is  an  evolution  re- 
sulting from  certain  practical  condi- 
tions which  have  defined  the  precise 
form  the  alumni  activities  come  to  as- 
sume. The  general  alumni  association, 
in  many  colleges,  is  a  direct  child  of 
the  local  organization,  while  in  others 
it  rests  rather  upon  the  organization  of 
classes.  This  is  particularly  true  at 
Yale,  while  Harvard's  organization 
rests  upon  the  local  alumni  club. 
Cn;  Michigan's  type  of  organization 
differs  from  both  in  having  no  vital 
connection  with  the  local  association 
or  with  the  class  organization.  By 
that  we  mean  that  the  election  of  offi- 
cers and  the  control  of  the  fundamen- 
tal policies  of  the  Association  rest  in 
no  way  upon  the  local  associations  or 
upK)n  class  organizations,  but  upon  a 
general  meeting  of  all  alumni  who 
meet  once  a  year  at  Commencement, 
primarily  to  elect  officers,  and  to  pass, 
in  rather  a  perfunctory  way,  truth  to

tell,  upon  whatever  business  may  be 
presented  at  that  time.  The  Associa- 
tion quite  probably  would  gain  in  ef- 
fectiveness if  some  closer  connection 
might  be  maintained  between  the  Gen- 
eral Association  and  both  types  of  sub- 
sidiary organization.  There  are  cer- 
tain advantages  in  our  tenuous  and 
loose  form  of  association,  particularly 
in  the  freedom  it  leaves  the  executive 
officer,  but  insofar  as  it  gives  the  indi- 
vidual alumnus  no  feeling  of  responsi- 
bility towards  the  organization,  it  ex- 
hibits an  unfortunate  weakness. 


For  some  time  the 
LOCAL  ALUMNI  officers  of  the  Gener- 
ORGANiZATiONS  al  Association  have 
been  trying  with 
some  degree  of  success  to  remedy  this 
condition  by  stimulating  the  organiza- 
tion of  local  associations  and  classes. 
Reference  to  the  list  of  local  associa- 
tions in  the  front  pages  of  The 
Alumnus  will  show  that  we  bave  one 
hundred  and  thirty-one  local  associa- 
tions, most  of  them  fairly  active,  many 
of  them  decidedly  so.  Likewise,  we 
have  recorded  the  addresses  of  one 
hundred  and  twenty-five  class  secre- 
taries, most  of  whom  are  interested  in 
their  work,  and  are  glad  to  avail  them- 
selves  of  all  suggestions  and  help 
which  the  General  Association  is  able 
to  furnish.  CH  To  bring  the  local  asso- 
ciation into  closer  touch  with  the  Gen- 
eral Association  and  the  University, 
an  Advisory  Council  has  been  estab- 
lished, in  which  local  associations  with 
over  fifty  members  are  entitled  to  rep- 
resentation. This  council  meets  once 
or  twice  a  year  to  consider  questions 
which  pertain  to  the  University  as 
they  affect,  or  are  affected  by,  the 
alumni.  Included  in  the  scheme  of 
organizaticm  is  an  executive  commit- 
tee which  shall  have  a  more  intimate 
relationship  between  alumni  and  Uni- 
versity, and  act  in  a  specific  advisory 
capacity.  That  not  a  great  deal  has 
been  accomplished  to  date  by  this  or- 


ganization does  not  necessarily  imply 
that  much  could  not  be  done,  if  the 
machinery  we  have  were  properly  un- 
der way. 


ORGANIZING 
THE  LOCAL 
ASSOCIATION 

:ult  problem. 


How  to  organize  the 
local  alumni  associa- 
tion into  an  effective 
UiUt  is  usually  a  diffi- 
It  is  not  a  question  of 
getting  the  "old  guard"  who  are  al- 
ways present,  and  always  enthusiastic, 
out  for  the  meeting,  but  ot  reaching 
all  the  alumni,  and  making  them  in- 
terested and  enthusiastic  as  well.  The 
Chicago  Association  has  evolved  a 
scheme  which  is  proving  successful, 
and  might  be  even  more  feasible  for 
some  of  the  smaller  associations  where 
the  percentage  of  personal,  acquaint- 
ance among  the  members  is  probably 
higher.  Ct  This  plan  involves  the  or- 
ganization of  an  executive  council 
which  meets  for  the  consideration  and 
promotion  of  definite  work  undertak- 
en by  the  Association.  This  council 
consists  of  over  130  members,  arawn 
from  all  the  classes  represented  in 
Chicago.  The  larger  classes,  partic- 
ularly of  the  later  years,  have  several 
representatives  on  the  council.  The 
general  organization  is  in  touch  with 
these  class  representatives,  and  if  it 
is  desired  to  hold  a  meeting  or  bring 
the  alumni  together  for  any  purpose, 
the  word  is  passed  on  to  certain  com- 
mittee chairmen,  who  communicate  in 
turn  with  the  class  representatives. 
Each  of  these  call  up  on  the  telephone 
a  list  of  their  own  classmates.  In  this 
way,  within  a  few  hours,  or  a  day  at 
most,  practically  all  of  the  alumni  in 
Chicago  can  be  informed  of  any  plan 
which  is  on  foot,  and  an  immediate 
response  can  be  obtained,  d.  The  Cor- 
nell Alumni  Association  in  Chicago 
has  a  similar  arrangement,  which  one 
Cornell  alumnus  interprets  in  electri- 
cal terms.  The  total  alumni  list  in  Chi- 
cago is  divided  up  into  fifty  squads  of 
from  eight  to  sixteen  men,  who  are

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[December 


presided  over  by  a  "live  wire."  Five 
"live  wires"  are  presided  over  in  turn 
by  one  man,  the  "trunk  line."  The  ten 
"trunk  lines"  are  divided  into  two 
squads  of  five  each  who  report  to  the 
"transformers,"  who  in  turn  are  re- 
sponsible to  the  "big  dynamo,"  the 
chairman  of  the  ways  and  means  com- 
mittee. When  the  secretary  desires  to 
get  a  crowd  out  to  a  banquet,  he  starts 
the  dynamo  up,  gives  the  desired  in- 
formation to  the  transformer,  who 
discharges  the  news  to  the  trunk  lines, 
who  in  turn  transmit  their  energy  to 
the  "live  wires,"  and  the  revivifying 
influence  of  their  sparking  produces 
enough  energy  in  the  corpses  and  in- 
valids to  make  the  banquet  a  resurrec- 
tion. It  is  only  necessary  to  add  that 
it  is  the  treasurer  who  oils  the  dyna- 
mo. The  electrical  terminology  may 
be  criticised  by  engineers,  but  the  idea 
is  sufficiently  plain. 


To  the  Advisory 
OF  cSS^™'^  Council  another  gen- 
SECRETARIES        ^^^^  organization  has 

been  added  in  the 
form  of  the  Association  of  Class  Sec- 
retaries, which  was  organized  Novem- 
ber 7,  as  reported  on  page  129.  While 
the  function  of  the  Advisory  Council 
is  to  bring  the  alumni  into  closer 
touch  with  the  University,  and  to 
make  the  mature  ability  and  experi- 
ence of  the  alumni  of  service  to  the 
University,  the  function  of  the  Class 
Secretaries  Association  is  r  a  t  h  e  r  to 
help  the  class  secretaries  in  their  work 
of  gathering  records,  of  keeping  track 
of  their  classmates,  and  of  stimulating 
their  interest  in  the  University 
through  class  publications  and  reun- 
ions. CH  The  relation  of  this  body  to 
the  General  Association  is  not  neces- 
sarily intimate.  The  only  actual  link 
is  the  General  Secretary,  who  is  a 
member  ex  officio  of  the  executive 
committee,  according  to  the  new  con- 
stitution. In  practice,  however,  the 
organization  is  bound  to  co-operate  ra- 
ther intimately  with  the  General  Asso- 


ciation, which  for  years  has  under- 
taken the  work  of  the  organization  and 
stimulation  of  reunions,  and  to  a  cer- 
tain extent  the  gathering  of  records. 
This  side  of  the  activities  of  the  Gen- 
eral Association  will  not  be  lessened 
by  the  new  organization.  Rather,  it  is 
to  be  hoped  it  will  be  increased, 
through  the  growth  of  interest  and  ef- 
ficiency on  the  part  of  the  class  secre- 
tary, who  will  profit  by  the  experience 
and  enthusiasm  of  others  engaged  in 
like  work. 


The  first  task  before 
SOME  TASKS  this  new  Association 
BEFORE  rr  is  the  publication  of  a 
handbook,  and  the 
preparation  of  some  standard  method 
for  the  gathering  and  filing  of  class 
records.  Such  a  handbook  as  is  con- 
templated should  contain  a  general 
discussion  of  the  work  of  the  class 
secretary,  notes  on  the  best  method  of 
procuring  and  classifying  individual 
records,  what  should  and  what  should 
not  be  included,  general  hints  on  the 
publication  of  class  books  and  the  fi- 
nancing of  class  organizations,  and 
other  matters  of  interest  to  the  class 
secretary.  CC  In  addition,  samples  of 
various  forms  which  are  to  be  pre- 
pared for  the  class  secretaries  will  be 
included,  and  a  scale  of  prices  will  be 
established,  so  that  the  class  secreta- 
ries may  obtain  them  at  the  lowest 
possible  cost.  Such  a  work  involves 
necessarily  a  certain  financial  problem 
which  was  not  met  at  the  recent  meet- 
ing when  the  Association  was  organ- 
ized. The  article  providing  for  a  mem- 
bership fee  was  stricken  out,  and  the 
question  of  financing  the  whole  mat- 
ter was  left  to  the  executive  commit- 
tee. This  problem  promises  to  be  a 
pertinent  one  as  soon  as  definite  activ- 
ities are  undertaken  by  the  Associa- 
tion. Voluntary  contributions  by  the 
secretaries  interested  in  the  work  may 
furnish  sufficient  help  until  the  Asso- 
ciation is  under  way,  and  some  definite 
method  of  maintenance  is  evolved.

January  i,  1915. 

Shipments  of  glassware  from  Ger- 
many, billed  to  the  University  of 
Michigan,  have  recently  been  received 
in  New  York.  These  shipments  are 
part  of  a  lai^e  order  of  chemical  sup- 
plies, the  greater  part  of  which  were 
sent  before  the  war.  The  material  in 
the  shipment  is  intended  for  the 
Chemical  Department,  where  there  is 
an  almost  immediate  need  for  it.

Mr.  Lawrence  Binyon,  of  London, 
assistant  keeper  of  the  prints  in  the 
British  Museum,  and  a  writer  and  art 
critic  of  note  delivered  a  lecture  on 
"The  Art  of  Asia"  in  Alumni  Me- 
morial Hall  on  November  23.  Dr. 
John  C.  Ferguson,  of  Pekin,  spoke  on 
"A  Survey  of  Chinese  Art,"  on  De- 
cember I,  and  on  "Chinese  Painting" 
on  December  3,  in  the  same  place.  All 
the  lectures  were  under  University 
auspices. 

Work  on  the  production  of  the  191 5 
Michigan  Union  Opera  has  already 
been  begun.  According  to  present 
plans,  the  play  will  be  shown  in  De- 
troit, Grand  Rapids,  Chicago,  Milwau- 
kee, South  Bend  and  Toledo  during 
the  week  of  spring  vacation,  April  9 
to  19,  with  a  second  performance  in 
Detroit  at  the  conclusion  of  the  trip. 
Sylvan  S.  Grosner,  '12,  '14/,  of  De- 
troit, IS  the  author  of  this  year's  pro- 
duction, and  Kenneth  S.  Baxter,  *!$€, 
of  Detroit,  is  general  manager.  Ac- 
cording to  precedent,  the  name  of  the 
play  will  not  be  made  public  until 
shortly  before  the  first  performance. 

In  February  the  Highway  Engi- 
neering section  of  the  Civil  Engineer- 
ing Department  of  the  University 
plans  to  conduct  a  one  week's  course 
for  the  benefit  of  the  county,  town-

126  THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS  [December 

THIRD  MEETING  OF  ASSOCIATION  OF  ALUMNI  SECRETARIES 

Columbia  and  Yale  Universities  furnished  a  most  hospitable  and  inspir- 
ing setting  for  the  third  annual  meeting  of  the  Association  of  Alumni  Secre- 
taries, held  in  New  York  on  November  19  and  20,  and  in  New  Haven  on 
the  following  day.  The  business  sessions  of  the  Association,  five  in  num- 
ber, were  held  in  the  new  building  of  the  School  of  Journalism  at  Columbia, 
while  the  most  important  session  of  the  third  day,  at  New  Haven,  was  held 
at  the  Yale  Bowl,  where  the  members  of  the  Association  formed  a  small 
part  of  the  seventy  thousand  who  witnessed  Harvard^s  spectacular  victory. 

The  register  of  the  meeting  showed  sixty-seven  delegates  present,  repre- 
senting sixty-two  different  institutions,  a  significant  increase  over  the  attend- 
ance of  the  two  previous  meetings  at  Columbus  and  Chicago.  There  were 
executive  alumni  officers  present  from  as  far  west  as  Stanford  University. 
The  South  was  represented  by  men  from  Texas,  Louisiana  and  Virginia; 
North  Dakota  and  Minnesota  in  the  Northwest  sent  delegates;  while  most 
of  the  mid-western  and  eastern  states  were  represented,  giving  an  impres- 
sive national  aspect  to  the  meeting. 

Both  Columbia  and  Yale  proved  cordial  hosts.  A  large  proportion 
of  the  members  of  the  Associaton  were  housed  in  the  Columbia  dormi- 
tories as  guests  of  the  University  during  the  period  of  the  sessions,  and  the 
members  of  the  Association  were  given  privileges  of  the  Faculty  Club  for 
breakfast  and  luncheon  on  the  days  when  the  Association  was  not  formally 
entertained.  On  the  opening  day  of  the  session  a  luncheon  was  given  the 
Association  by  Columbia  University  at  Claremont  on  the  Hudson,  at  w*hich 
Dean  Keppel,  of  Columbia  College,  presided.  On  the  evening  of  the  fol- 
lowing day  a  dinner  was  also  tendered  the  Association  by  the  Columbia  Uni- 
versity Club  in  the  clubhouse  in  Gramercy  Square,  at  which  Dean  Van  Am- 
ringe,  Columbia,  '60,  President  of  the  Columbia  Federated  Clubs,  presided. 
Dean  "Van  Am*'  is  as  loved  and  venerated  by  Columbia  alumni  as  our  own 
President  Emeritus  is  by  Michigan  alumni. 

But  small  opportunity  was  given  on  the  following  day  to  see  Yale  Uni- 
versity, though  an  instructive  few  minutes  were  spent  by  the  Association  in 
walking  about  the  Campus  and  in  the  offices  where  the  Yale  alumni  records 
are  preserved.  At  a  luncheon  given  by  the  University  in  Memorial  Hall,  the 
Association  was  addressed  by  the  Secretary  of  Yale  University,  Rev.  Anson 
Phelps  Stokes,  who  emphasized  the  opportunity  for  service  to  the  university 
which  alumni  organization  brings.  Particularly  helpful,  he  thought,  might 
be  the  interchange  of  ideas  among  the  different  universities.  He  cited  the 
remarkable  growth  of  the  Yale  Alumni  Fund,  which  now  amounts  to  $1,300,- 
000,  as  an  example  of  most  useful  work  for  their  Alma  Mater  on  the 
part  of  the  alumni.  But  more  than  this,  he  stated  as  an  example  of  the 
inspiration  of  concerted  alumni  eflFort  that  since  the  idea  had  been  developed 
a  few  years  ago,  at  Yale,  it  had  spread  to  many  other  American  universities, 
which  were  now  developing  alumni  funds  along  the  lines  first  hit  upon  by  a 
small  band  of  Yale  alumni. 

"What  Alumni  Associations  Are  Doing,  and  Might  be  Doing"  formed 
the  general  topic  for  the  opening  sessions  of  the  Conference.  Following  an 
introductory  speech  by  the  President  of  the  Association,  Mr.  E.  B.  Johnson,

128  THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS  [December 

of  Minnesota,  and  a  discussion  of  "The  Ideal  Association"  by  the  Secretary, 
the  representative  of  the  University  of  Michigan,  Dean  C.  Mathews,  of 
Western  Reserve  University,  took  up  the  question  of  developing  and  voic- 
ing alumni  sentiment  so  that  it  shall  really  represent  the  highest  ideals  of 
the  alumni  for  the  institution.  Aspects  of  th^  question  were  discussed  by 
the  representatives  of  Northwestern,  the  Massachusetts  Institute  of  Tech- 
nology and  Wisconsin.  At  the  afternoon  session  the  problem  of  the  class 
secretary  was  opened  by  Edwin  Rogers  Embree,  Alumni  Registrar  of  Yale 
University,  who  outlined  at  some  length  the  plan  which  has  been  followed 
at  Yale  for  the  past  hundred  years  with  remarkable  and  inspiring  results. 
Warren  F.  Sheldon,  of  Wesleyan,  also  discussed  the  possibilities  of  the 
system,  and  how  to  finance  the  work.  Mr.  Win-field  Willard  Rowlee,  of 
Cornell,  in  discussing  local  alumni  associations,  outlined  an  interesting 
scheme  of  organization  followed  by  the  Cornell  Association  of  Chicago. 
Lewis  D.  Crenshaw,  of  Virginia,  also  told  of  a  most  successful  and  compre- 
hensive campaign  to  bring  about  class  reunions  at  a  university  where,  before 
he  took  the  matter  up,  organization  by  classes  was  unknown.. 

The  evening  sessions  of  the  first  day  were  divided  among  the  state  uni- 
versities, the  larger  endowed  institutions,  and  the  smaller  endowed  institu- 
tions, under  the  chairmanship  of  representatives  from  Louisiana,  Pennsyl- 
vania and  Worcester  Pol3rtechnic  Institute. 

The  following  day  the  subjects  of  "the  alumni  secretary"  and  "the 
alumni  publication"  formed  the  principal  topics  under  discussion.  Particu- 
larly interesting  was  a  symposium,  by  John  A.  Lomax,  of  Texas,  on  "The 
Relation  of  the  Alumni  to  the  Secretary  and  to  the  Institution,"  founded 
upon  a  series  of  letters  written  to  representative  institutions  all  over  the 
United  States.  Edwin  Oviatt,  Editor  of  The  Yale  Alumni  Weekly,  dis- 
cussed the  ideals  that  should  govern  the  editor,  a  question  of  absorbing  in- 
terest to  many  of  those  present.  The  question  of  interesting  the  alumni, 
older  and  younger,  was  presented  by  Joseph  S.  Myers,  of  Ohio  State  Uni- 
versity. 

The  afternoon  of  the  second  day  was  devoted  to  the  election  of  officers 
for  the  coming  year,  and  a  general  discussion  of  questions  raised  by  various 
members  of  the  Association.  The  following  officers  were  elected:  Presi- 
dent, Edwin  R.  Embree,  Alumni  R^strar  of  Yale  University;  First  Vice- 
President,  Dean  C.  Mathews,  of  Western  Reserve  University ;  Second  Vice- 
President,  John  A.  Lomax,  of  Texas ;  Secretary,  Wilfred  B.  Shaw,  Univer- 
sity of  Michigan;  Treasurer,  A.  T.  Prescott,  University  of  Louisiana;  Mem- 
bers of  the  Executive  Committee:  J.  E.  McDowell,  Stanford  University; 
Karl  Leebrick,  University  of  California;  Charles  Cason,  Vanderbilt  Uni- 
versity. The  Association  also  established  a  Bureau  of  Information  for 
Alumni  Officers.  The  chairman  of  this  bureau,  Levering  Tyson,  Columbia, 
will  make  it  a  part  of  his  duties  to  collect  detailed  information  from  all  the 
universities  which  are  members  of  the  Association  in  triplicate  for  the  use 
of  anyone  who  desires  to  find  what  other  universities  are  doing  in  certain 
fields  of  alumni  activity.  A  preparation  of  exhibits  will  also  be  undertaken, 
to  be  shown  at  the  next  meeting  of  the  Association,  which  is  to  be  held  next 
November  at  Stanford  University.

1914]  ASSOCIATION  OF  CLASS  SECRETARIES  129 

AN  ASSOCIATION  OF  CLASS  SECRETARIES  ORGANIZED 

At  a  meeting  of  about  twenty-five  class  secretaries,  held  at  the  Michigan 
Union,  immediately  following  the  Pennsylvania  game,  November  7,  1914, 
a  constitution  and  definite  plan  of  organization  of  an  Association  of  Class 
Secretaries  was  adopted.  The  General  Secretary  of  the  Alimini  Association, 
to  whom  had  been  delegated  the  duty  of  calling  the  meeting  together,  acted 
as  chairnmn,  with  Professor  Gordon  Stoner,  '04,  '06/,  as  secretary. 

Following  a  short  statement  of  the  purpose  of  the  meeting,  in  which 
the  action  of  the  previous  session,  held  last  Commencement,  was  reviewed 
by  the  chairman,  the  constitution  drawn  up  by  the  committee  on  constitution 
previously  authorized,  composed  of  Professor  Gordon  Stoner,  '04,  *o6l.  Dr. 
Charles  W.  Hitchcock,  '80,  of  Detroit,  Dr.  G.  Carl  Huber,  '87W,  Thurlow 
E  Coon,  '03,  '06^,  of  Detroit,  and  James  H.  Westcott,  '94/,  of  New  York, 
was  presented.  A  copy  of  this  constitution  had  been  previously  sent 
to  all  the  class  secretaries,  and  many  letters  had  been  received  r^^arding 
it.  Following  the  suggestion  in  tiie  letter  of  Mr.  Louis  H.  Jennings,  '72,  of 
Chicago,  it  was  moved  by  Dr.  Huber  that  the  words,  "the  General  Secretary 
of  the  Alimini  Association  shall  act  as  chairman  of  this  committee,"  be 
stricken  from  Article  IV  of  the  proposed  constitution.  This  was  carried, 
and  the  constitution  was  then  adopted  as  amended. 

Meanwhile,  the  chairman  of  the  meeting  had  appointed  Miss  Annie  W. 
Langley,  '01,  Dr.  Hitchcock  and  Professor  J.  H.  Drake,  '85,  '02I,  as  a  nom- 
inating committee. 

A  certain  amount  of  discussion  of  the  proposed  constitution  followed, 
and  it  was  finally  moved  and  adopted  that  the  adoption  of  the  constitution 
be  reconsidered.  The  section  in  the  original  draft  of  the  constitution,  pro- 
viding that  the  annual  dues  of  the  members  of  the  Association  should  be 
two  dollars,  roused  a  considerable  discussion.  It  was  felt  by  some  of  the 
secretaries  that  this  might  not  only  prove  something  of  a  burden  for  class 
secretaries  whose  classes  are  at  present  very  loosely  organized,  but,  until 
the  aim  and  scope  of  the  organization  were  better  defined,  might  impair, 
rather  than  increase,  the  general  eflFectiveness  of  the  proposed  association. 
It  was  finally  decided  upon  motion  that  the  adoption  of  the  constitution  be 
reconsidered,  which  resulted  in  the  final  adoption  of  the  constitution,  with 
Article  VII,  providing  for  dues,  stricken  out.  The  constitution  as  finally 
amended  is  as  follows: 

Article  I. — Name. 

The  name  of  this  organization  shall  be  "The  Association  of  Class  Secretaries,  of 
the  University  of  Michigan." 

Article  II.— Object. 

The  object  of  this  Association  shall  be  to  further  the  interests  of  the  University; 
to  encourage  and  aid  the  collection  and  compilation  of  complete  and  uniform  statistics 
for  each  class  and  the  publication  of  the  same  in  a  uniform  manner ;  to  enliven  interest 
in  and  increase  the  attendance  at  the  regular  class  reunions;  and  by  proper  organiza- 
tion and  co-operation  to  stimulate  and  standardize  the  work  of  the  class  secretaries  and 
to  develop  greater  unity  of  action  and  feeling  in  the  various  classes,  Alumni  Associa- 
tion and  alumni  body  as  a  whole.

Adelle  P.  Pierce,  '90m,  Kalamazoo;  for  Secretary  and  Treasurer,  Professor  Gordon 
Stoner,  '04,  '06/,  Ann  Arbor;  for  Members  of  the  Executive  Committee.  Mr.  Wilfred 
B.  Shaw,  '04,  Ann  Arbor  (ex-oMcio),  Mrs.  F.  N.  Scott,  '84,  Ann  Arbor,  and  Mr.  Louis 
H.  Jennings,  '72,  Chicago. 

Upon  motion  of  Professor  Ralph  W.  Aigler,  '07/,  the  report  of  the 
nominating  committee  was  adopted,  and  the  above  officers  were  duly  elected. 

The  question  of  immediate  general  interest  was  that  of  uniform  blanks 
for  class  statistics,  and  the  publication  of  a  handbook  for  class  secretaries, 
similar  to  those  already  published  by  Yale  and  Cornell  Universities.  It  was 
felt  that  some  uniformity  in  the  matter  of  keeping  records  was  very  desirable, 
as  was  also  some  central  office  where  these  might  be  filed.  It  was  finally 
moved  by  Professor  Bradshaw  that  this  matter  of  uniform  statistical  blanks, 
as  well  as  the  publicaton  of  a  handbook,  be  referred  to  the  executive  com- 
mittee, with  power.  This  was  duly  carried.  The  meeting  thereupon  ad- 
journed, to  meet  again  next  Commencement.

I9I4]  YALE'S  ALUMNI  RECORDS  131 

YALE'S  SYSTEM  OF  ALUMNI  RECORDS 

For  a  period  of  one  hundred  and  twenty-three  years,  from  1792  to 
191 5,  practically  every  class  at  Yale  University  has  been  organized  with  a 
secretary  as  executive  officer  and  editor  of  not  one,  but  a  series  of  class 
records.  The  loyalty  of  Yale  alumni  to  their  Alma  Mater  has  been  proverb- 
ial, and  with  such  a  record  of  organized  effort  it  is  not  difficult  to  see  the 
reason  for  it.  There  has  been  a  certain  amount  of  organization  by  classes 
in  most  American  universities;  records  have  been  kept  by  divers  enthu- 
siastic class  secretaries,  but  never  has  the  system  been  carried  out  so  sys- 
tematically and  so  enthusiastically  as  at  Yale,  and  nowhere  have  results  been 
so  remarkable. 

At  Yale  the  class  secretary  is  elected  during  his  senior  year,  and  is 
re-elected  or  succeeded  in  election  from  time  to  time  during  the  life  of  the 
members  of  the  class.  He  is  the  only  general  officer,  and  to  him  are  dele- 
gated the  duties  of  keeping  annotated  address  lists,  occupation  lists  and  mar- 
riage and  family  lists  of  the  members  of  his  class.  In  the  younger  years  of  the 
class  he  also  acts  as  a  bureau  of  occupation  and  recommendation  for  class- 
mates desiring  new  positions.  To  him  also  are  referred  questions  involving 
special  class  activities  or  affecting  class  policy.  These  powers  have  grown 
up  with  the  office,  especially  as  no  class  or  general  alumni  association  has 
specifically  delegated  these  powers  to  the  secretary. 

According  to  Mr.  E.  R.  Embree,  Yale's  Alumni  Registrar,  who  des- 
cribed the  system  at  the  meeting  of  Alumni  Secretaries  at  Columbia,  it  is  an 
evolution,  a  survival  of  the  fittest,  in  class  organization.  The  other  officers  of 
the  class,  sometimes  appointed  by  the  secretary,  sometimes  elected  by  the 
class,  arrange  for  specific  reunions,  collect  money  for  current  expenses  and 
for  the  University  Alumni  Fund,  manage  the  annual  dinners  and  devise  and 
present  memorials  to  the  University.  The  secretary's  specific  and  individual 
duty  concerns  the  personal  life  of  the  member  and  the  published  records  of 
his  life.  It  is  in  the  matter  of  class  records  that  the  Yale  system  is  unique. 
A  senior  book  is  published  at  Yale,  as  at  many  other  American  universities, 
but  this  is  only  the  beginning  of  a  series  of  records. 

According  to  the  present  system  most  classes  at  Yale  now  issue  more 
or  less  extensive  biographical  records  of  their  members  at  five  year  intervals 
after  graduation  so  long  as  the  last  survivor  lives,  forming  a  complete 
library  of  five  to  a  dozen  volumes.  In  general,  these  publications  follow 
the  reunions.  Many  of  them  are  comparatively  short,  consisting  merely  of 
an  account  of  the  last  reunion  and  brief  sketches  of  recent  events  in  the 
members'  careers.  But  at  the  ten  year,  the  twenty-five  year  and  the  fifty 
year  period  the  records  are  more  extensive.  The  twenty-five  year  and  fifty 
year  books  are  often  distinct  contributions  to  American  biography,  giving  a 
complete  sketch  of  each  member,  with  often  some  genealogical  background, 
a  full  account  of  his  college  life  and  two  to  five  hundred  words  concerning 
his  career,  illustrated  with  photographs  of  the  man  as  he  appeared  in  col- 
lege and  as  he  appeared  twenty-five  years  after  graduation. 

Yale  now  has  a  library  of  five  hundred  and  forty  volumes  of  class 
records,  not  including  smaller  pamphlets  and  address  lists.     The  value  of

132  THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS  [December 

this  material  to  American  biography  and  history  is  very  great,  and  must 
become  more  valuable  as  the  years  pass.  But  even  greater  is  its  value  to 
Yale  University  and  to  the  members  of  the  classes  in  keeping  alive  their 
interest  and  furthering  a  spirit  of  solidarity  with  one  another  and  with  the 
University.  While  it  may  be  long  before  we  can  realize  the  completeness 
of  the  system  at  Yale  University,  some  such  organized  method  of  keeping 
alumni  records  should  be  the  ideal  of  the  new  Association  of  Class  Secre- 
taries. 


THE  BOSTON  AND  DETROIT  SMOKERS 

BOSTON,  OCTOBER  30,   I914. 

The  smoker  given  by  the  New  England  Association  to  the  Michigan 
alumni  on  the  night  before  the  Harvard  game  in  the  large  ball  room  of  the 
Copley-Plaza  Hotel,  proved  a  great  success.  The  program  was  opened  with 
a  short  concert  by  the  Varsity  Band,  which  occupied  a  platform  at  one  end 
of  the  hall.  When  the  meeting  was  called  to  order  there  were  about  six 
hundred  men  on  the  floor,  with  the  balcony  crowded  with  two  to  three 
hundred  of  Michigan's  alumnae.  Dr.  C.  W.  Staples,  8gd,  the  president  of  the 
New  England  organization,  opened  the  program  with  a  few  words  of  wel- 
come, and  introduced  James  M.  Swift,  '95,  ex-Attorney  General  of  Mass- 
achusetts, as  the  Master  of  Ceremonies  for  the  evening.  He  in  turn  called 
on  Dean  Cooley,  Judge  W.  L.  Day,  '00/,  of  Cleveland,  and  Judge  J.  O.  Mur- 
fi^>  '95>  '96/^  of  Detroit,  and  all  of  these  gave  characteristic  Michigan  talks. 
Following  this,  impromptu  speeches  were  made  by  Dean  C.  Worcester,  '89, 
Coach  Yost  and  H.  J.  Killilea,  '85/,  president  of  the  "M"  Club.  The  coach 
came  in  late,  and  stood  back  in  a  comer,  but  somebody  noticed  him,  and 
immediately  cries  went  up  for  "Yost."  The  Band  struck  up  "The  Victors," 
and  the  cheers  that  went  up  as  he  was  taken  to  the  platform  were  deafen- 
in.  It  was  just  a  start  towards  showing  that  Michigan's  alumni  were  with 
the  team  to  the  end. 

Between  the  various  talks  were  cheers,  led  by  "Hap"  Haff,  and  the 
alunmi  showed  that  even  though  they  have  been  away  a  good  many  years, 
they  still  know  how  to  yell.  "Varsity"  and  "Win  for  Michigan"  were  sung 
during  the  evening.  The  program  ended  with  moving  pictures  of  Ann 
Arbor,  more  cheers,  and  the  singing  of  "The  Yellow  and  the  Blue." 

Following  the  smoker,  the  crowd  accepted  the  kind  invitation  of  the 
Harvard  Club,  and  headed  by  the  Band  marched  to  the  Harvard  Club,  where 
they  were  entertained  until  well  after  midnight. 

DETROIT,   NOVEMBER  21,   I914. 

Michigan  spirit,  in  all  its  enthusiasm  and  collegiate  optimism,  was  well 
shown  when  the  Varsity  team  was  the  guest  of  the  Detroit  Alumni  Associa- 
tion in  the  annual  football  smoker  the  Saturday  night  following  the  close 
of  the  season.  The  casual  observer  would  never  have  known  that  the 
Detroit  alumni  were  feasting  a  team  which  had  lost  three  of  its  big  games 
in  one  of  the  most  disastrous  seasons  since  Fielding  Yost  came  to  Michi-

134  THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS  [December 

gan,  so  bona  fide  and  whole-hearted  was  the  enthusiasm  of  the  600  students 
and  graduates  who  were  gathered  in  the  auditorium  of  the  new  Board  of 
,   Commerce  building  in  Detroit. 

Captain  James  W.  Raynsford,  Captain-elect  William  D.  Cochran,  with 
Trainer  Steve  Farrell,  Graduate  Director  Phillip  G.  Bartelme  and  the  mem- 
bers of  the  1914  Varsity  squad,  were  seated  in  the  place  of  honor  at  the  front 
of  the  big  hall,  while  the  other  guests  and  their  hosts  were  grouped  around 
tables  which  completely  filled  the  floor  space.  The  yellow-caped  bandmen 
were  also  present  and  were  by  no  means  the  least  popular  part  of  the 
gathering. 

Not  one  of  the  speakers  was  allowed  to  touch  on  the  fact  of  defeat, 
and  all  were  optimistic  as  a  result.  The  two  captains,  and  Splawn  and 
Maulbetsch  were  the  team  men  called  on,  and  each  received  an  ovation  on 
his  appearance.  The  stocky  little  half  back  who  had  played  in  every  game 
of  the  season,  came  in  for  a  huge  share  of  the  attention,  and  it  was  only 
after  the  crowd  had  insisted  that  he  talk,  that  he  mounted  the  platform  for 
his  share  of  the  speech-making. 

Charles  Cross,  a  Cornell  athlete  of  four  year's  competition,  scored  the 
biggest  hit  of  the  evening  when  he  got  up  to  say  that  "he  was  glad  that 
Cornell  had  beaten  Michigan  because  he  would  rather  that  Cornell  beat 
Michigan  than  any  other  team  in  the  country."  He  paid  a  glowing  tribute 
to  Michigan's  spirit;  a  tribute  which  was  echoed  by  Jay  McLauchlan,  a 
Yale  man,  who  also  was  called  on. 

President  Walter  E.  Oxtoby,  98/,  of  the  Detroit  Association,  introduced 
James  Strassburg,  '02,  as  toastmaster  to  start  the  festivities.  Strassburg 
was  Varsity  baseball  manager  in  1901,  and  he  proved  equal  to  the  task  of 
keeping  the  enthusiastic  crowd  in  leash  long  enough  to  listen  to  the  speakers. 
Judge  James  O.  Murfin,  '95,  '96/,  of  Detroit,  one  of  the  alumni  members  of 
the  Athletic  Board  in  Control,  was  a  speaker,  telling  of  the  board's  plans  for 
the  future  and  complimenting  the  1914  Varsity  on  its  season's  play.  E.  A. 
Batchelor,  a  sports  writer  of  Detroit,  Attorney  Francis  D.  Eaman,  '00,  and 
several  others,  were  also  on  the  list  of  speakers. 

THE  Y.M.C.A."MOBIUZATION  WEEK** 

With  the  purpose  of  interesting  as  many  students  in  the  University  as 
possible  in  religious  and  social  service,  the  Students*  Christian  Association 
conducted  a  five  days  series  of  meetings,  beginning  Wednesday,  November 
18,  under  the  name  "Mobilization  Week."  In  the  five  days  a  total  of  two 
hundred  and  eighty-four  meetings  were  held,  which  were  addressed  by 
some  thirty  out-of-town  speakers,  men  and  women  prominent  in  the  religious 
and  social  work  of  the  day.  In  addition  to  the  general  meetings  held  each 
night  in  Hill  Auditorium,  meetings  were  held  at  noon  and  evening  at  the 
various  fraternity  and  sorority  houses,  by  the  different  classes  and  depart- 
ments, by  the  women,  by  the  men  interested  in  athletics  and  journalism, 
and  by  the  foreign  students  of  the  University.  An  elaborate  plan  of  organi- 
zation, involving  the  appointment  of  over  three  hundred  student  committee- 
men, was  carried  out,  under  the  general  direction  of  an  executive  staflf

Philip  C.  Lovejoy,  '16,  of  Ann  Arbor,  executive  secretary;  and  Grace  L 
Fletcher,  '16,  of  Chelsea,  chairman  of  the  women's  division. 

Among  the  speakers  were  Reverend  Allen  Arthur  Stockdale,  pastor 
of  the  Congregational  Church  of  Toledo,  Ohio;  Willard  T.  Beahan,  chief 
engineer  of  the  Lake  Shore  and  Michigan  Southern  Railway;  Mr.  James 
Schermerhom,  of  the  Detroit  Times;  Mr.  W.  F.  Lovett,  of  the  Grand  Rapids 
Evening  News;  Dr.  Richard  C.  Cabot,  one  of  the  foremost  practicing  physi- 
cians of  the  day;  Judges  Alfred  C.  Murphy  and  Harry  A.  Lockwood,  of 
Detroit;  Dr.  Peter  Roberts,  of  New  York,  head  of  the  industrial  welfare 
work  in  the  country ;  A.  J.  Elliott,  secretary  of  the  International  Y.  M.  C.  A. 
Committee  for  colleges  and  universities  in  the  Middle  West;  Charles  Hur- 
rey,  of  New  York,  industrial  welfare  worker;  R.  H.  Rindge,  Jr.,  of  New 
York  City;  Henry  Hobson,  Yale,  '14,  manager  of  the  Yale  Varsity  crew; 
Richard  H.  Edward ;  J.  R.  Lee,  of  Detroit,  tiie  man  who  has  developed  the 
social  welfare  work  for  the  Ford  employees;  Lloyd  C.  Douglass,  of  Cham- 
paign, 111. ;  E.  C.  Mercer,  of  New  York  City ;  and  Miss  Mary  Corbett. 

While  in  Ann  Arbor,  a  social  service  committee  composed  of  six  men 
who  are  specializing  in  social  work,  made  a  survey  of  the  city,  finding  many 
opportunities  for  social  service  in  the  factories,  hospitals  and  city  play- 
grounds, and  in  teaching  first  aid  to  the  injured,  hygiene  and  English  to 
foreigners.  As  a  result  of  their  investigations,  one  hundred  and  seventy-five 
students  in  the  University  have  offered  their  services  to  help  better  these 
conditions. 

The  following  week,  November  27-29,  over  two  thousand  representa- 
tives from  the  various  Michigan  high  schools  met  at  Ann  Arbor  for  the 
annual  Y.  M.  C.  A.  State  Boys'  Conference.  A  series  of  meetings  were 
held  in  Hill  Auditorium,  under  the  auspices  of  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.,  which  were 
addressed  by  President  Hutchins,  Governor  Woodbridge  N.  Ferris,  Senator 
Charles  E.  Townsend,  Mr.  Fred  B.  Smith,  of  New  York  City,  and  Secre- 
tary of  State  William  Jennings  Bryan. 


A  REVIEW  OF  THE  1914  FOOTBALL 

SEASON 

The  1914  season  was  decidedly  an  off  one  for  Michigan.  A  new 
team  had  practically  to  be  created,  and  the  most  difficult  schedule  of  years 
had  to  be  faced.  Yet  these  odds  were  partially  at  least  discounted  by  the 
team.  That  in  the  Harvard  and  Pennsylvania  games,  Michigan  showed 
an  improvement  and  sportsmanship  of  which  everyone  had  reason  to  be 
proud  must  not  be  forgotten  when  the  books  for  1914  are  balanced. 

Nevertheless,  the  season  as  a  whole  turned  out  much  as  was  feared  by 
those  with  experience  in  athletics,  even  though  there  were  some  decidedly 
bright  spots  in  the  season's  record.  Nine  members  of  the  team  ended  their 
football  careers  with  the  close  of  the  season  of  1913,  so  it  was  well  known 
that  the  1914  team  would  be  an  untried  and  inexperienced  crew.    It  was

A  MICHIGAN  TOUCHDOWN  IN  THE  PENNSYLVANIA    GAME,     MAULBETSCH 
CARRYING  THE  BALL. 

the  opinion  of  most  good  judges  that  the  1914  schedule  was  too  hard  for  the 
green  team  which  must  play  it,  and  that  it  would  result  in  disaster.  And 
in  spite  of  the  added  length  of  the  summer  practice,  the  extra  mid-week 
games,  and  the  changing  of  the  rules  as  to  scholarship  eligibility,  these 
expectations  were  realized,  and  the  season  ended  with  three  defeats  for 
Michigan — a  record  not  equalled  in  the  past  twenty  years. 

To  take  up  the  season  in  detail,  it  shows  a  typical  performance  by  a 
green  team  made  up  of  very  promising  but  undeveloped  and  inexperienced 
men.  Against  the  early-season  teams,  Michigan  showed  an  effective  offense 
and  though  a  ragged  yet  nevertheless  an  adequate,  defense.  As  soon  as  op- 
ponents of  strength  were  met,  however,  the  weaknesses  in  the  team  ap- 
peared. Even  Vanderbilt,  though  much  weaker  than  usual  (the  Commo- 
dores had  almost  a  straight  record  of  defeats  this  season),  was  able  to  score, 
though  Michigan  rallied  later  in  the  game  and  clearly  outclassed  the  south- 
em  team.  In  the  game  against  M.  A.  C.  at  Lansing,  Michigan  met  a  worthy 
foe,  and  was  very  glad  to  come  home  with  a  victory.  The  Aggies,  it  must 
be  confessed,  outplayed  Michigan,  and  probably  nothing  but  the  call  of  time 
kept  them  from  scoring  a  touchdown  at  the  end  of  the  first  half.  Michi- 
gan's only  effective  march  toward  the  M.  A.  C.  goal  was  checked  by  a  fierce 
defense,  and  it  was  only  by  taking  advantage  of  her  superiority  in  for- 
ward passing  that  Michigan  was  able  again  to  get  the  ball  to  a  place 
where    Splawn  could  kick  a  goal  and  roister  the  three  points  which  gave

Michigan  the  victory.  The  victory  was  a  costly  one,  for  injuries  were  suf- 
fered by  Hughitt  and  Splawn  which  kept  the  former  out  of  the  Syracuse 
game  and  reduced  the  latter*s  effectiveness  considerably.  Even  with  the 
full  strength  of  the  team,  however,  Michigan  would  have  had  difficulties 
with  the  strong  Syracuse  team  on  October  24th.  Syracuse,  taking  advan- 
tage of  every  weak  point  in  Michigan's  defense  and  nullifying  every  effort 
of  her  offense,  won  by  the  decisive  score  of  20  to  6.  It  was  simply  a  case 
of  a  green  team  against  a  seasoned  team. 

The  Harvard  game  was  naturally  a  manifestation  of  the  same  superior- 
ity of  experience  over  inexperience.  Harvard,  even  without  the  services  of 
Brickley,  Mahan,  Pennock,  Soucy  and  (for  the  greater  part  of  the  game) 
Wallace,  was  much  more  experienced  than  Michigan.  In  the  long  run, 
any  eastern  team  is,  probably,  more  experienced  than  any  western  team,  be- 
cause of  the  better  training  received  in  the  eastern  preparatory  schools ;  but 
in  the  Harvard  game  the  eastern  team  had  a  great  advantage  in  collegiate 
experience  as  well.  And  the  advantage  showed  even  though  Michigan  put 
up  an  unexpectedly  brave  resistance.  After  the  Michigan  men  had  worn 
themselves  out  in  rushing  the  ball  almost  the  length  of  the  field  in  the  lir^t 
quarter,  while  Harvard  was  pursuing  the  traditional  eastern  tactics  of  hold, 
punt,  hold,  punt.  Harvard's  superiority  in  punting  gave  her  the  ball  at  the 
center  of  the  field  early  in  the  second  quarter,  and  she  took  it  down  the 
field  for  a  touchdown  in  eleven  plays.  Again  in  the  second  half  Michigan 
rushed  the  ball  down  toward  Harvard's  goal  time  after  time,  only  to  be  held 
each  time  and  to  see  Harvard — not  attempting  to  run,  but  punting  on  first 
or  second  down — send  the  ball  up  the  field  again,  where  Michigan  would 
again  begin  its  splendid,  but  wearying  and  fruitless,  pounding  toward  the 
unreachable  Crimson  goal.  Michigan's  attack,  brilliant  and  forceful  though 
it  was,  had  been  solved  by  the  trained  veterans  of  Harvard,  and  could  not 
carry  over  the  last  line.  The  result  was  inevitable — no  team  could  stand 
the  overstrain — ^and  at  the  end  of  the  game  Harvard  was  apparently  about 
to  score  again  when  time  was  called. 

One  notable  result  of  the  game  was  the  mutual  expression  of  good  will 
between  the  supporters  of  the  two  universities.  The  Eastern  papers  were 
practically  imanimous  in  the  credit  given  to  the  sportsmanlike  qualities  of 
the  team  and  the  loyalty  of  the  Michgan  contingent  at  the  game. 

Mack  Whelan  in  the  Boston  Globe,  says : 

An  important  part  of  the  game  was  that  both  elevens  played  hard,  clean  football. 
Another  feature  was  that  Michigan,  hundreds  of  miles  from  its  own  campus,  gave  a 
demonstration  of  graduate  loyalty  to  the  university  which  impressed  vividly  upon 
some  thirty  thousand  of  first  hand  observers  that  Ann  Arbor  is  the  home  of  a  great, 
broad,  national  institution,  the  limits  of  the  influence  of  whidi  is  not  bound^ed  by  states 
or  sections.  Every  one  knew  it  before  the  game,  of  course,  but  every  one  who  was 
among  those  present  in  the  Stadium  «had  a  much  more  personal  realization  of  it  after 
the  game,  Michigan  made  many  thousands  of  friends  in  the  east  as  the  result  of  her 
long  trip.  Not  only  in  point  of  numbers,  but  in  the  character  of  her  ^lendid  repre- 
sentation was  the  Michigan  side  of  the  Stadium  impressive. 

The  New  York  Herald  says : 

The  showing  of  the  Michigan  rooters  was  a  big  surprise.  Not  many  expected  to 
»ce  such  an  outpouring  as  there  was  of  those  who  wore  the  Maize  and  Blue.    In  the

CORNELL  PLAYER.     THE  BALL  IS  SHOWN  IN  THE  AIR. 

east  stand  there  were  fully  two  thousand  who  had  come  to  cheer  the  Ann  Arbor 
juggernaut,  and  there  was  not  one  in  this  collection  who  dad  not  carry  a  yellow 
chrysanthemum.  Banked  against  the  gray  background  of  the  stadium  the  yellow 
flowers  made  a  picturesque  splurge  of  color. 

Another  hit  to  the  present  generations  of  Bostonians,  who  had  never  before  seen 
the  Western  team  and  their  supporters,  was  the  band  of  forty  pieces,  which  came 
all  the  -way  from  Ann  Arbor.  These  young  musicians  were  decked  out  in  blue  and 
gold  uniforms,  and  when  tbey  marched  on  the  field  and  worked  themselves  into  the 
form  of  a  huge  M,  the  Harvard  side  of  the  field  gave  them  a  big  send-off.  The  band 
was  a  big  feature  of  the  occasion. 

One  of  the  striking  things  about  the  match  was  the  glee  with  which  the  Harvard 
supporters  greeted  the  victory.  It  is  not  very  often,  except  in  a  contest  with  Yale  or 
Princeton,  that  the  Crimson  undergraduates  give  themselves  up  to  the  joyous  intricacies 
of  the  snake  dance,  but  when  the  final  whistle  blew  the  whole  Harvard  stand  stormed 
down  on  the  field  and,  led  by  their  band,  they  paraded  around  the  turf  arni  -went 
through  the  time  honored  custom  of  tossing  hats  over  the  cross  bars  of  the  goal  posts. 

Grantland  Rice,  in  the  Evening  Mail,  said : 

The  fine,  clean  spirit  of  sportsmanship  displayed  by  both  factions  on  and  off  the 
field  Saturday  should  make  the  Harvard-Michigan  battle  a  yearly  affair.  Yost  and 
his  men  were  overwhelmed  with  every  attention  possible.  .Harvard  went  to  the  limit 
in  hospitality.  And  the  spirit  all  around  shown  through  the  battle  was  of  such  a  ihigh 
order  that  it  would  be  a  pity  for  such  a  contest  to  be  dropped.  A  meeting  of  this  sort 
is  too  big  a  boon  to  sportsmanship  to  be  laid  aside. 

Sportsmanship  is  the  worth  while  element  in  every  game.  College  sportsmanship 
is  training  for  the  Greater  Sportsmanship.    For  life,  after  all,  is  only  a  game. 

After  the  Harvard  game  there  was  a  tremendous  feeling  of  confidence 
among  the  supporters  of  the  Michigan  team.  Nearly  everybody  had  ex- 
pected a  worse  defeat,  and  the  margin  of  a  single  touchdown  seemed  nar-

row  indeed  between  Michigan  and  the  strongest  team  in  the  east.  This  con- 
fidence was  heightened  by  the  fact  that  Michigan  had  twice  come  so  near 
to  scoring,  and  by  the  current  reports  that  Michigan  had  "gained  more 
groimd"  than  Harvard.  It  is  true  that  Michigan  ran  the  ball  from  scrim- 
mage for  a  greater  distance  than  Harvard  did ;  to  be  exact,  Mr.  Parke  H. 
Davis'  table  in  the  Detroit  Tribune  shows  that  Michigan  rushed  the  ball  55 
times  for  a  total  gain  of  191  yards  (an  average  of  3.47  yards)  against  Har- 
vard's 33  rushes  for  a  total  of  127  yards  (an  average  of  3.85  yards).  But 
rushing  the  ball — even  with  a  back  like  Maulbetsch — is  not  all  of  football, 
as  is  shown  by  Michigan's  victory  over  M.  A.  C.  and  her  touchdowns  against 
Cornell,  all  gained  by  forward  passes.  And  in  passing,  kicking,  and  running 
back  punts,  Harvard's  superiority  was  marked.  The  total  amount  of  groimd 
gained  by  Harvard  was  nearly  100  yards  more  than  that  gained  by  Michi- 
gan. And  it  was  this  superiority  together  with  Harvard's  solving  of  Mich- 
igan's offense,  that  won  the  game.  "Right  Wing,"  a  well-known  eastern 
critic,  seems  to  think  that  the  victory  was  a  triumph  of  eastern  tactics  over 
western;  perhaps  it  may  be  as  fairly  said  that  Harvard  won  because  her 
experienced  line-men  were  able  to  solve  the  Michigan  offense  in  time  to 
prevent  a  score,  and  were  wise  enough  to  choose  just  the  right  moment  for 
their  attack  on  Michigan;  perhaps  these  are  merely  two  different  ways  of 
expressing  the  same  thing.  At  all  events,  both  sides  seemed  pleased  with 
the  result;  Harvard  because  she  won,  Michigan  because  she  made  a  better 
showing  than  she  had  expected. 

The  confidence  which  resulted  from  the  Harvard  game  was  doubled 
and  trebled  by  the  easy  victory  over  Pennsylvania  on  the  following  Satur- 
day. True,  the  Penn  team  had  not  shown  great  form  (having  been  tied  by 
Lafayette  and  beaten  by  Franklin  &  Marshall,  and  eventually  winning  less 
than  half  its  games)  but  nobody  expected  the  tremendous  drubbing  which 
was  administered  by  Michigan,  whose  score  of  34  to  3  was  more  of  a  sur- 
prise to  the  football  world  than  was  Dartmouth's  victory  over  Penn  by  a 
score  of  41  to  o  a  week  later.  Michigan  was  irresistible;  Pennsylvania, 
hopelessly  outclassed,  could  do  nothing;  it  seemed  as  if  Mr.  Yost  had  ac- 
complished the  impossible  and  made  a  crew  of  youngsters  into  a  world-beat- 
ing team,  as  if  the  Harvard  game  had  been  a  mistake,  and  the  Syracuse 
game  a  bad  dream. 

Indeed,  this  belief  in  Mr.  Yost's  wizardry  lasted  into  the  second  half 
of  the  Cornell  game.  Two  beautiful  forward  passes  resulted  in  two  touch- 
downs for  Michigan  in  the  first  half,  while  Cornell  was  able  to  score  but 
once.  But  Cornell,  while  scoring  but  once  in  the  first  half,  was  learning  a 
lot  about  Michigan's  style  of  play,  and  in  the  second  half  proceeded  to  put 
into  execution  what  she  had  learned.  Michigan's  attempts  to  gain  were 
frustrated  by  the  Cornell  defense,  while  Cornell  trotted  out  a  variation  of 
the  old  Yale  massed  interference  which  soon  was  going  through  Michigan 
about  7  yards  to  a  play.  Michigan  seemed  unable  to  solve  this  play,  and 
soon  crumbled  under  the  fierce  attack.  The  result  was  a  score  of  28  to  12 
in  favor  of  Cornell — the  worst  defeat  suffered  by  Michigan  since  1908, 
when  Penn  won  29  to  o  and  Syracuse  won  28  to  4. 

Though  the  season  itself  was  disastrous  enough — due  mostly  to  the  im-

position  of  such  a  difficult  schedule  on  a  green  team — the  members  of  the 
team  have  learned  a  lot  of  football,  and  will  be  sure  to  give  -a  good  account 
of  themselves  next  year.  Only  Raynsford,  Hughitt  and  McHale  are  to  be 
lost  to  the  team  (unless  difficulties  in  scholarship  arise,  which  seems  un- 
likely) ;  the  1915  team  will  therefore  be  able  to  begin  the  season  with  a 
considerable  list  of  fairly  experienced  men,  and  may  reasonably  hope  to 
turn  the  tables  on  some  of  their  1914  opponents. 


THE  NATURE  AND   PURPOSE  OF 
EDUCATION 

THE  SECOND  ANNUAL  C0NVCX:ATI0N  ADDRESS  BY 
DR.  VICTOR  C.  VAUGHAN 

The  second  annual  Convocation  address  was  delivered  October  16, 
1914,  by  Dr.  Victor  C.  Vaughan,  Dean  of  the  Department  of  Medicine  and 
Surgery. 

Dr.  Vaughan  discussed  "The  nature  and  purpose  of  Education"  and, 
in  his  opening  paragraphs  asked  his  audience,  "Why  are  you  here?"  The 
purpose  of  the  University,  he  said,  is  to  better  fit  for  citizenship.  In  his 
first  words,  therefore,  he  emphasized  the  responsibility  of  the  student  to  the 
University,  insisting  that  intelligence,  industry  and  integrity  are  the  first 
essentials  for  every  student.  Dr.  Vaughan  then  traced  the  development  of 
education  of  the  individual  through  the  modification  and  development  of 
behavior  through  experience.  He  showed  how  behavior  is  determined 
through  the  mechanism  of  the  nervous  system,  emphasizing  the  concern  of 
education  especially  with  the  function  of  the  nerves,  and  continued  as  fol- 
lows: 

Man  comes  into  the  world  the  most  helpless  of  all  animals.  At  birth 
the  child  is  incapable  of  locomotion  and  of  finding  unaided  its  food 
supply.  For  months,  and  indeed  for  years,  the  child  remains  in  this  helpless 
state.  The  dog  in  the  first  six  months  of  its  life  learns  more  than  the  child 
does  in  years.  It  is  the  superiority  of  his  nervous  mechanism  that  has  given 
man  dominion  over  the  earth  and  all  that  is  therein.  We  need  sound  bones, 
strong  muscles  and  healthy  organs,  because  these  render  the  development  of 
the  nervous  system  possible,  and  the  health  of  the  body,  as  a  whole,  is  es- 
sential to  the  well-developed  man.  We  can  have  no  correct  conception  of 
education  vsrithout  some  knowledge  of  the  mechanism  employed  in  its  acqui- 
sition. Briefly  considered,  the  nervous  system  consists  of  receptors  or  spe- 
cial senses,  which  are  stimulated  by  the  environment,  of  conductors  which 
transmit  the  stimulation  to  the  central  organs  and  of  effectors  which  control 
and  direct  the  responses  to  the  stimuli.  The  primary  function  of  the  nervous 
mechanism  is  to  provide  paths  of  conduction  between  the  receptors  and 
effectors.  The  first  breath  of  air  at  birth  starts  the  machinery  of  respira- 
tion. Irritability  and  automatism  are  properties  of  all  living  things.  Even 
unicellular  organisms,  amebae,  for  instance,  in  which  there  is  no  nervous

tissue,  automatically  respond  to  external  stimuli,  such  as  food,  and  changes 
in  behavior  or  rudimentary  and  limited  education  can  be  developed  in  them. 
As  cell  differentiation  is  evolved  the  structure  of  the  nervous  system  be- 
comes more  complicated  and  its  functions  are  more  diversified  and  effective. 

A  sense  receptor,  such  as  the  eye  or  ear^  the  sensory  nerve,  such  as  the 
optic  or  the  auditory,  the  nervous  center  to  which  the  impression  is  con- 
veyed and  the  motor  nerve,  through  which  the  response  is  transmlttea,  con- 
stitute the  "reflex  arc."  Reflex  action  is  the  simplest  function  of  the  nervous 
system.  Strong  light  induces  contraction  of  the  pupil,  the  sight  or  odor  of 
food  causes  the  saliva  to  flow,  pinching  the  flesh  is  followed  by  muscular 
movement.  These  are  examples  of  innate  reflexes.  The  normal  child  comes 
into  the  world  possessed  of  these  reflexes.  A  large  part  of  education  con- 
sists in  the  co-ordination  and  development  of  these  innate  reflexes.  Walking, 
talking,  reading,  writing,  are  examples  of  co-ordinated,  trained  reflexes. 

The  first  lesson  we  learn  in  investigating  the  mechanism  of  education 
is  that  the  sense  receptors  must  be  in  good  condition  to  start  with  and  must 
be  kept  in  the  highest  state  of  efficiency  as  we  proceed.  The  receptors 
through  which  our  behavior  is  modified  and  developed  by  environment  are 
the  five  senses,  seeing,  hearing,  touch,  smell  and  taste,  each  of  which  on 
close  analysis,  is  found  to  be  complex.  All  primary  knowledge  reaches  the 
brain  through  these  sources.  In  no  other  way  can  environment  modify  our 
behavior  or  can  we  be  educated.  The  dictum  of  Locke  "Nihil  in  intellectu 
est  quod  non  prius  in  sensu"  is  not  refuted  by  the  addendum  of  Leibnitz 
"Nisi  intellectus  ipse."  When  the  senses  are  defective  in  function,  illusions, 
hallucinations  and  delusions  control  us  and  dominate  our  conduct.  The 
senses  may  be  primarily  defective  and  to  some  extent  these  defects  may  be 
removed  by  medical  skill.  When  normal  in  mechanism  these  functions  may 
be  impaired  by  poisons  introduced  from  without  the  body,  such  as  alcohol, 
or  by  those  generated  within  the  body,  such  as  those  due  to  fatigue  or  to 
disease.  Although  the  truth  expressed  in  the  Latin  proverb,  "Mens  sana  in 
sano  corpore"  has  come  down  to  us  from  classical  times,  educators  have 
been  slow  to  realize  its  force.  Indeed,  when  mystical  scholasticism  formu- 
lated educational  ideals,  affliction  of  the  body  was  believed  to  be  essential  to 
the  highest  development  of  the  mind.  Fortunately,  even  educators,  one  by 
one,  with  some  reluctance,  are  awakening  from  their  dreams  and  becoming 
interested  in  scientific  investigation.  Greater  benefits  in  educational  methods 
have  been  obtained  by  observation  of  the  effects  of  altered  environment  on 
the  behavior  of  animals  than  have  been  evolved  from  the  inner  consciousness 
of  the  greatest  genius.  Appreciating  the  fundamental  importance  of  nor- 
mality in  securing  an  education,  this  university  is  developing  a  splendid  sys- 
tem for  the  supervision  of  the  health  of  its  students.  However,  the  health 
of  each  individual  is  largely  in  his  own  keeping  and  I  wish  to  say  that  idle- 
ness, alcoholism  and  sexual  vice  remain  the  most  potent  factors  in  student 
wreckage.  With  senses  untrained  from  idleness  and  benumbed  by  dissipa- 
tion the  individual  is  a  failure  in  college  and  in  the  greater  school  of  the 
world. 

Certain  complex  reflexes  are  known  as  instincts.  These  play  an  im- 
portant part  in  education.     All  instincts  are  not  manifest  at  the  time  of

birth,  but  develop  with  age  and  are  influenced  by  the  evolution  of  the  indi- 
vidual, as  a  whole.  The  instinct  of  play  manifests  itself  in  every  normal 
child  and  the  same  is  true  of  the  instincts  of  acquisitiveness,  construction, 
possession,  self-assertion,  anger,  self-abasement,  rivalry,  pugnacity,  etc. 
These  need  to  be  controlled  and  directed,  and  this  constitutes  an  important 
part  of  education.  They  are  inherited,  but  are  subject  to  marked  modifica- 
tion by  environment.  For  instance,  the  instinct  of  imitation  is  one  of  great 
potency  in  shaping  our  conduct  and  in  determining  not  only  our  own  lives, 
but  of  those  about  us.  In  this  lies  sufficient  justification  of  state  education. 
One  scientific  farmer  in  a  commimity  enhances  the  value  of  all  the  farming 
land  about  him,  because  he  demonstrates  the  productivity  of  the  soil.  One 
honest,  learned  lawyer  reduces  litigation  and  a  skillful  physician  not  only 
alleviates  the  suffering  of  the  sick,  but  prevents  the  spread  of  the  disease. 
The  highest  purpose  of  this  University  is  to  train  leaders  of  men,  those 
whose  influence  among  their  fellows  may  always  be  in  the  right  direction. 

Success  will  depend  largely  upon  the  environment  under  which  you  live 
while  here.  This  can  not  be  wholly  determined  by  the  university  authorities. 
To  a  large  extent  you  will  educate  one  another. 

A  part  of  education  consists  in  inhibiting  reflexes  and  suppressing  mis- 
directed instincts.  The  only  way  in  which  this  can  be  done  is  by  the  cultiva- 
tion and  exercise  of  certain  other  reflexes.  As  we  shall  see  later,  nervous 
impulses  travel  most  easily  over  well  worn  pathways.  A  function  frequently 
performed  proceeds  automatically  and  to  the  exclusion  of  antagonistic  ten- 
dencies. One  of  the  most  difficult  things  the  untrained  student  has  to  con- 
tend with  is  diffuse  activity.  He  tries  to  study,  but  outside  stimuli  of  vision, 
hearing,  etc.  bombard  his  sensorium  and  demand  his  attention.  Training  is 
essential  before  calls  to  purposeless  activity  can  be  ignored. 

The  first  impression  which  one  receives  in  studying  the  structure  and 
function  of  the  nervous  system  is  that  it  is  a  grossly  defective  mechanism. 
The  elements  of  which  it  is  composed  consist  of  nerve  cells  with  axons  and 
dendrites.  The  dendrites  are  supposed  to  receive  the  stimuli  and  the  axons 
to  conduct  them  to  the  next  unit.  Between  these  units,  called  neurones, 
there  is  no  direct  structural  connection.  The  axons  of  one  imit  come  in 
more  or  less  direct  contact  with  the  dendrites  of  the  next,  but  each  neuron  is 
organically  quite  distinct  from  all  others.  The  apparent  imperfection  lies  in 
this  absence  of  direct  connection.  The  point  of  contact  between  two  neurons 
is  known  as  a  synapse  and  at  this  point  there  is  more  or  less  resistance  to 
the  transmission  of  the  stimulus.  This  apparent  imperfection  is,  however, 
in  some  respects  at  least,  a  benefit.  Were  it  not  for  this  delay  the  brain 
would  be  stormed  continuously  by  stimuli  from  the  outer  world  and  orderly 
thought  would  be  quite  impossible.  Without  these  apparent  imperfections, 
sleep  would  be  less  restful  and  anesthetics  would  not  be  able  to  relieve  us 
of  pain.  Education  consists  partly  in  improving  these  connections.  A  path- 
way through  the  nervous  tissue  having  been  once  opened  is  more  easily 
followed  by  subsequent  similar  stimuli.  This  renders  possible  the  formation 
of  habits.  The  more  frequently  a  given  pathway  is  traversed,  the  more 
easily  stimuli  pass  until  finally  transmission  occurs  without  conscious  effort. 
The  first  attempt  to  learn  is  more  or  less  laborious,  but  with  each  repetition

the  resistance  becomes  less  and  finally  the  thing  is  done  automatically. 
Effectiveness  is  largely  the  result  of  the  formation  of  good  habits.  In  this 
way  the  expert  is  developed.  The  best  preparation  for  doing  anything  is  the 
fact  that  you  have  once  or  oftener  done  it  and  the  more  frequently  it  has 
been  done,  the  more  certainty  is  there  in  repeating  it.  The  beginner  in  teleg- 
raphy must  give  attention  to  each  letter,  then  he  thinks  only  of  words,  and 
later  he  advances  to  phrases  and  even  to  sentences. 

In  learning  of  this  kind,  progress  is  not  always  uniform.  After  reach- 
ing a  certain  degree  of  proficiency  there  is  a  period  in  which  there  is  no  ap- 
parent progress.  These  periods  are  known  as  plateaus.  All  students  arc 
familiar  with  these  depressing  states  in  which  effort  seems  without  avail, 
but  with  persistence  the  curve  of  learning  suddenly  begins  to  rise  and  the 
elation  of  success  is  the  reward. 

The  question  of  the  transference  of  skill  acquired  in  one  branch  of 
learning  to  another  has  been  debated  among  psychologists,  but  the  weight  of 
evidence  is  that  it  is  not  possible.  Being  an  expert  mathematician  does  not 
make  one  an  authority  in  law  or  medicine.  The  neural  pathways  opened  up 
in  the  pursuit  of  different  branches  of  learning  are  not  the  same.  They 
may  lie  quite  far  apart  and  expertness  in  one  line  does  not  imply  even 
soundness  of  judgment  in  another.  This  is  an  important  matter  in  educa- 
tion and  will  receive  further  attention  later. 

The  formation  of  habit  is  common  to  all  animals  and  habits  have  a 
marked  influence  on  behavior.  We  do  things  so  often  that  it  becomes  diffi- 
cult to  refrain  from  doing  them  when  the  conditions  under  which  they  have 
been  done  recur.  The  most  forceful  teacher  of  my  college  days  was  wont 
to  say :  "Man  is  but  a  bundle  of  habits  and  happy  is  the  man  whose  habits 
are  his  friends."  At  twenty,  it  seemed  to  me  that  the  force  of  this  saying 
lay  in  its  sonorous  quality.  At  sixty  I  realize  that  its  strength  lies  in  its 
truth.  The  young  scout  the  idea  that  they  can  not  indulge  in  a  vice  occasion- 
ally without  becoming  a  victim.  The  chains  forged  in  the  smithy  of  habit 
are  strong  in  every  link.  They  may  safely  hold  us  in  the  heaviest  storm  or 
they  may  drag  us  to  the  bottom  of  smooth  seas.  Another  mistake  often 
made  by  youth  is  the  belief  that  every  experience  is  helpful.  There  is  no 
other  commodity  for  which  we  pay  so  dearly  and  the  price  often  is  health, 
happiness  and  even  Uf  e. 

Some  stimuli  make  such  deep  and  lasting  impressions  on  the  central- 
nervous  system  that  the  picture  may  be  recalled  without  the  recurrence  of  the 
original  stimulus.  This  is  memory.  Jennings  has  shown  that  there  is  some 
evidence  of  memory  even  in  unicellular  organisms.  This  becomes  more 
marked  as  the  animal  structures,  especially  the  nervous  system,  develop. 
Even  a  spider  learns  by  experience  and  alters  its  behavior  to  its  own  benefit, 
when  repeatedly  subjected  to  like  conditions. 

Colvin  says:  "Memory  is  a  fundamental  phenomenon  of  organic  life. 
In  its  widest  sense  it  signifies  the  fact  that  impressions  once  received  by  an 
organism  are  retained  for  a  greater  or  less  period  and  that  this  retention 
is  indicated  in  the  modified  behavior  of  the  organism.  The  evidence  of  mem- 
ory in  animals  is  their  ability  to  profit  by  experience.  A  white  rat  is  placed 
at  the  entrance  of  a  maze  at  the  center  of  which  is  food.    The  animal  moves

144  THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS  [December 

about  in  an  aimless  manner  until  at  length  it  reaches  the  center.  If  on  suc- 
ceeding trials  the  rat  shows  an  improvement  in  the  accuracy  and  rapidity 
with  which  it  moves  about  the  maze,  this  means  that  its  earlier  attempts 
have  in  some  sense  left  their  effects ;  they  have  modified  subsequent  conduct. 
Memory  when  used  in  this  widest  sense  of  the  term,  lies  at  the  basis  of  all 
learning.    It  is  a  measure  of  educability." 

There  are  three  important  factors  in  memory.  The  impression  must  be 
"stamped  in."  It  must  be  correctly  associated  with  other  impressions.  It 
must  be  subject  to  recall  and  proper  recognition.  The  strength  of  the  im- 
pression is  dependent  upon  many  factors.  The  brain  may  be  so  altered  by 
inherited  defect,  trauma,  senility,  fatigue,  disease  or  toxic  agents,  that  effec- 
tive and  lasting  impressions  can  not  be  made.  So  .long  as  the  brain  remams 
in  the  abnormal  condition  its  receptivity  can  not  be  improved.  The  men- 
tally defective  can  be  educated  to  a  certain  point,  but  can  go  no  farther.  An 
impression  may  be  "stamped  in"  by  the  force  or  unusual  character  of  the 
external  stimulus.  The  external  world  demands  the  attention  of  the  individ- 
ual and  an  unusual  sight,  noise  or  other  sensation  makes  a  never-to-be-for- 
gotten impression.  This  is  known  as  passive  attention  and  is  common  to  all 
animals.  It  is  the  basic  principle  in  all  attempts  to  modify  behavior  through 
hope  of  reward  or  fear  of  punishment  and  is  highly  effective  in  the  control 
and  training  of  the  lower  animals  and  ignorant  men,  but  loses  in  power 
with  the  development  of  intellect.  However,  in  this  and  other  universities, 
this  appeal  to  increased  effort  is  employed  in  the  form  of  grades,  admission 
to  special  societies,  the  bestowal  of  insignia  of  distinction,  etc.,  and  on  most 
men  in  our  stage  of  development  it  is  not  without  eflfect.  The  approval  of 
our  fellows  as  shown  by  social,  political  and  intellectual  preferment,  still 
proves  a  potent  incentive  to  increased  effort.  With  the  development  of  in- 
tellect, passive  attention  is  largely  supplanted  by  the  active  form.  In  the 
latter  the  individual  selects  the  stimuli  which  are  to  make  permanent  impres- 
sions. An  important  function  in  the  accomplishment  of  this  purpose  is  the 
rejection  of  stimuli  believed  to  be  unimportant  or  harmful  and  seizing  upon 
and  fixing  of  those  recognized  as  of  greatest  value.  In  this  selection  lies 
the  pathway  to  wisdom.  It  determines  the  ideals  of  the  individual.  It  shapes 
the  ^o  and  sets  the  lines  of  future  development.  The  memory  pictures 
photographed  in  the  highly  labile  molecules  of  the  brain  constitute  a  record 
of  all  our  available  knowledge,  not  only  that  gained  through  personal  experi- 
ence, but  that  acquired  from  any  source.  We  rehear  the  spoken  and  reread 
the  written  word.  We  recall  the  facts  of  history.  We  utilize  without  con- 
scious effort  in  our  daily  dealings  the  mathematical  skill  acquired  in  child- 
hood. We  make  practical  application  of  the  scientific  discoveries  of  the 
past  in  supplying  ourselves  with  the  necessities  and  comforts  of  life.  We 
enjoy  the  literature  of  all  nations  in  all  ages.  In  short,  the  storehouses  of 
learning  to  which  we  have  access  are  practically  limitless  in  their  wealth 
and  from  this  we  may  select  at  will  and  appropriate  to  our  own  use  without 
diminishing  to  the  smallest  d^^ee  what  is  left  for  others. 

In  order  to  be  of  greatest  service,  memory  pictures  must  be  clear  and 
properly  placed.  Clearness  and  association  are  essential  to  prompt  recall 
and  correct  recognition.    Memory,  like  all  other  functions  of  the  nervous

mechanism,  is  capable  of  improvement  by  exercise.  When  memory  pictures 
have  a  faulty  setting,  they  may  influence  behavior  disastrously.  The  old 
man  thinks  all  this  talk  about  impure  milk  killing  infants  and  infected  water 
causing  typhoid  fever  is  nonsense,  because  all  his  life  people,  both  yoimg 
and  old,  have  been  drinking  dirty  milk  and  polluted  water.  He  does  not 
know  or  recognize  the  fact  that  many  even  within  his  own  circle  have  died 
from  these  causes.  In  his  experience  these  facts  have  not  been  recognized 
as  possessing  any  causal  relationship.  Half  his  children  have  died  from  the 
summer  diarrheas  of  infancy  and  others  have  died  in  youth  from  typhoid, 
but  he  has  always  connected  these  bereavements  with  the  world-old  belief 
that  disease  could  not  be  prevented  nor  death  delayed.  The  failure  to  prop- 
erly correlate  experiences  or  their  memory  pictures  is  one  of  the  tnings 
which  prevents  many  elderly  people,  especially  the  untrained,  from  adjusting 
themselves  to  advances  in  knowledge.  Many  superstitious  rites  and  cere- 
monies have  their  origin  in  the  faulty  conception  of  cause  and  effect.  Many 
reason  post  hoc  ergo  propter  hoc.  This  faulty  logic  is  still  a  strong  support 
of  charlatanism  in  its  many  survival  forms. 

The  study  of  the  structure  and  function  of  the  nervous  mechanism 
makes  plain  what  should  be  attempted  in  securing  an  education.  We  have 
seen  that  in  the  acquisition  of  knowledge  pathways  to  the  cerebral  cortex 
must  be  opened  up.  Conduction  of  nervous  impulses  meets  with  resist- 
ance as  it  passes  from  one  neuron  to  the  next.  This  resistance  grows  less 
with  each  traverse  of  the  impulse  along  the  same  path  and  with  frequent 
repetition  the  trail  becomes  so  smooth  that  impulses  pass  through  without 
conscious  effort.  It  is  easier  to  open  up  pathways  to  the  cortex  in  youth 
than  in  later  years  because  the  liability  and  plasticity  of  the  nervous  tissue 
decrease  with  advancing  age.  However,  lines  of  conduction  established  in 
the  plastic  period  are  never  obliterated  save  by  disease  or  death.  Even  with 
approaching  senility,  when  the  opening  of  new  lines  is  impossible,  those  es- 
tablished in  youth  continue  to  operate.  Truly,  learning  becomes  the  solace 
of  age.  The  educated  octogenarian  remains  in  sympathy  and  intelligent 
touch  with  the  outer  world,  while  his  untrained  brother  finds  himself  iso- 
lated and  marooned  on  a  small  barren  island.  Furthermore,  it  has  been 
demonstrated  that  the  lines  of  conduction  which  serve  in  one  department 
of  learning  are  useless  in  the  conduction  of  information  from  other  sources. 
The  acquisition  of  mathematical  skill  does  not  give  special  preparation  for 
historical  erudition.  These  elemental  psychological  facts  indicate  that  in 
youth  training  of  the  nervous  system  should  be  broad,  the  purpose  being  to 
establish  many  and  diversified  sources  for  the  supply  of  mental  pabulum. 
Symmetrical  exercise  is  as  essential  to  the  normal  development  of  the 
nervous  system  as  it  is  in  muscular  training.  Athletes  are  not  made  by  put- 
ting all  muscles  save  one  in  plaster  casts  and  exercising  the  free  one,  neither 
can  the  functions  of  the  brain  be  properly  developed  in  such  a  way. 

Dr.  Vaughan  then  discussed  the  fundamental  subjects  which  should 
form  the  basis  of  education.  In  turn  he  showed  the  desirability  of  the 
study  of  language,  emphasizing  Greek  and  Latin  as  a  great  factor  in  the 
comprehension  of  other  languages  partly  derived  from  them.    But  the  man

who  knows  the  classics  and  nothing  more  is  blind  and  deaf  to  much  which 
is  of  the  highest  interest  both  to  himself  and  his  fellows.  French  and  Ger- 
man are  almost  equally  necessary  for  modem  scientific  workers,  while  math- 
ematics through  plane  trigonometry  is  an  essential  of  everyone's  develop- 
ment. History  and  the  fundamental  principles  and  facts  of  the  physical, 
chemical  and  biological  sciences  should  also  be  included  in  the  courses 
taken  by  every  student  who  wishes  a  broad  and  general  education,  whatever 
his  business  or  professional  calling  is  to  be. 
The  speaker  then  continued : 

While  I  have  made  an  earnest  plea  for  a  broad,  liberal,  fundamental 
education  in  order  that  we  may  be  in  intelligent  touch  with  the  basic  condi- 
tions that  control  and  modify  human  behavior,  there  is  like  physiological, 
reason  for  advising  every  student  to  build  on  this  broad  foundation  his  spe- 
cialty. When  you  have  reared  your  house  with  heavy  rocks  for  the  founda- 
tion, massive  walls,  bound  together  with  steel  beams,  on  this  you  can  carry 
up  as  high  as  you  please  the  tower  which  will  afford  you  an  outlook.  Take 
one  subject  and  know  everything  that  is  known  about  it  and  if  possible  know 
more  than  any  one  else.  In  other  words,  in  addition  to  your  general  knowl- 
edge be  a  specialist.  To  your  general  knowledge,  add  the  skill  of  the  expert. 
The  physiological  reasons  for  this  advice  must  be  evident  to  all  who  have 
followed  my  Hne  of  argument.  Neural  pathways  become  smoother  the  more 
frequent  the  travel  over  them.  I  recommend  expert  development  for  the 
following  reasons:  (i)  Extension  of  the  domain  of  knowledge  is  secured. 
(2)  The  pleasure  known  only  to  the  discoverer  comes  to  him  who  does  work 
of  this  kind.  (3)  It  is  a  rest  and  recreation  to  turn  into  the  well-worn  paths 
along  which  thought  moves  automatically. 

It  is  not  essential  that  the  special  study,  which  I  recommend,  should  be 
in  the  Hne  of  one's  vocation.  It  may  lie.  quite  apart  from  business  or  pro- 
fessional duties. 

Many  examples  from  the  lives  of  men  who  have  advanced  human 
knowledge  were  then  given  to  show  that  the  special  study  recommended 
must  not  necessarily  be  in  the  line  of  one's  vocation. 


SOCIAL  SERVICE  FOR  MICHIGAN  MEN 

Social  service  is  not  a  new  work  for  the  college  man.  Nor  is  the  field  of 
civic  reform  at  all  foreign  to  him.  But  special  organization  of  college  grad- 
uates for  this  work,  a  movement  which  has  recently  started  in  New  York  and 
some  of  our  other  large  cities,  is  distinctly  new.  It  is  an  organized  effort  to 
make  the  college  man  an  efficient  and  useful  member  of  the  community,  and 
to  make  his  training  and  efficiency  of  use  in  return  for  the  benefits  which  he 
has  received.  It  is  to  the  college  men  that  the  states  are  looking  more  and 
more  for  the  intelligent  co-operation  necessary  to  n^ake  the  social  and  politi- 
cal ledger  show  a  balance  on  the  right  side.  In  harmony  with  this  general 
movement  on  the  part  of  the  graduates  of  all  our  larger  universities  in

iqh]  social  service  for  MICHIGAN  MEN  147 

New  York,  the  University  of  Michigan  Club  of  New  York  has  appointed  a 
committee  consisting  of  Stanley  D.  McGraw,  '92,  Chairman;  Allen  M. 
Broomhall,  '02,  Treasurer;  William  A.  Ewing,  '64;  Victor  H.  Jackson,  'yyd, 
ySm;  George  E.  Cutler,  '85;  William  McAndrew,  '86;  Royal  S.  Copeland, 
'89A  and  Arnold  L.  Davis,  '98/,  to  co-operate  with  the  alumni  of  other  col- 
leges in  enlisting  recent  graduates  who  come  to  New  York  in  some  form  of 
volunteer  service  for  the  community.  Requests  have  been  received  from  the 
Boys*  Clubs,  Settlements,  Churches,  Boy  Scouts,  Big  Brother  Movement, 
Charities,  the  City  Club,  Political  Parties  and  all  the  leading  civic  and 
social  organizations  for  men  to  give  a  little  of  their  spare  time. 

Seven  other  cities  have  similar  alumni  committees — Chicago,  Pitts- 
burgh, Philadelphia,  Boston,  Washington,  Buffalo  and  Montreal — all  em- 
braced in  a  national  plan  of  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  to  connect  college  graduates 
with  social  and  civic  activities  in  the  communities  where  they  locate.  The 
organizer  of  this  work  is  Oliver  F.  Cutts,  the  star  tackle  of  the  Harvard 
team  of  1901.  The  seniors  in  the  colleges  and  universities  have  been  asked 
to  indicate  before  commencement  to  what  places  they  are  going  and  what 
form  of  service  most  interests  them.  The  names  of  these  seniors  are  then 
sent  to  Mr.  Cutts  who  distributes  them  to  the  committees  in  charge  of  the 
work  in  each  city.  When  the  men  arrive  they  are  called  upon  by  the  Field 
Secretary  who  gives  them  an  opportunity  to  take  up  some  congenial  social 
work. 

During  the  past  year  twenty-five  Michigan  men  in  New  Yoric  have 
been  interested  in  acting  as  "big  brothers"  to  boys  from  the  Children's 
Court,  in  working  with  the  Charity  Organization  Society,  in  Boy's  Clubs,  in 
Boy  Scouts,  in  teaching  a  naturalization  class  at  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.,  in  giving 
legal  advice,  in  watching  at  the  polls  and  in  other  forms  of  political  work 
for  good  government.  Of  the  committee,  one  is  running  a  big  club  of 
street  boys  in  one  of  the  suburbs ;  one  has  thrown  open  the  high  school  of 
which  he  is  principal  for  the  use  of  the  people  of  the  East  Side  neighbor- 
hood in  which  it  is  located  for  practically  the  entire  time  outside  of  school 
hours,  giving  them  a  roof  garden,  gymnasium,  dance  floor,  auditorium  and 
picture  gallery;  one  is  active  in  the  Big  Brother  Movement  and  two  are 
officers  of  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.* 

The  general  outline  of  the  work  before  this  organization  is  given  in  an 
article  published  in  the  Nezv  York  Evening  Post  for  July  11,  which  The 
Alumnus  takes  pleasure  in  reprinting  in  part. 


Back  in  19  ri  somebody  awoke  to  the  fact  that  every  year  there  were 
coming  to  New  York  City  about  1,000  college  graduates.  These  men,  it  was 
realized,  were  drifting  into  the  city,  rooming  in  scattered  sections,  working 
by  day  and  finding  their  own  pursuits  of  pleasure  or  study  in  the  evening, 
without  ever  getting  into  very  close  touch  with  many  of  the  most  significant 
affairs  of  New  York.     Politics  looked  like  a  rather  big  and  complicated 

♦The  committee  will  be  glad  to  hear  of  Michigan  men  coming  to  New  York  or 
have  any  man  look  up  the  Chairman,  Stanley  D.  McGraw,  '92,  iii  Broadway,  or  the 
Field  Secretary,  J.  Barnard  Walton,  Intercollegiate  Y.  M.  C.  A.,  554  West  114th  Street.

machine  for  a  young  man,  with  time  taken  up  by  many  other  interests, 
to  try  to  study  with  a  view  to  doing  much  actual  work  in  connection  with  it. 
The  worst  social  conditions  in  the  city,  together  with  the  work  being  done 
to  remedy  them,  were  out  of  sight,  so  that  little  appeal  was  made  to  the 
interest  of  the  new  arrival.  There  was  no  one  to  tell  them  where  to  begin. 
The  result  was  that  this  company  of  i,ooo  potentially  valuable  citizens  was 
being  allowed  to  sift  into  the  great  mass  of  the  population,  become  lost, 
and  go  on  past  the  time  when  interest  could  be  most  naturally  aroused 
toward  the  time  when  other  aflFairs  and  the  inertia  of  established  routine 
would  make  it  hard  to  stir  the  men  to  much  active  effort. 

The  result  was  that  a  committee  was  formed  to  get  hold  of  the  new 
men  coming  to  New  York  year  by  year.  They  began  by  getting  the  names 
of  recent  graduates  in  New  York  from  college  registrars,  class  secretaries, 
alumni  clubs,  and  friends.  The  work  began  naturally  among  men  of  Yale, 
Harvard.  Princeton,  and  the  other  universities  having  large  bodies  of  alumni 
in  New  York,  but  it  spread  rapidly  to  others.  Williams,  Columbia,  Cornell, 
Amherst,  Pennsylvania,  and  Michigan  are  among  the  institutions  that  have 
special  committees  for  the  work  now,  and  others  are  showing  an  interest 
that  indicates  that  the  list  will  continue  to  grow  steadily.  From  this  period 
of  the  summer,  when  the  first  men  are  settling  to  their  work  after  taking 
off  their  commencement  gowns  and  getting  their  diplomas  framed,  to  the 
late  fall,  when  the  last  of  the  contingent  who  rounded  off  their  courses 
with  a  final  long  vacation  will  have  been  placed,  the  academic  invasion  of 
New  York  will  be  under  way,  and  the  intercollegiate  committee  work  will  be 
at  its  rush  time.* 

New  York,  however,  is  not  the  only  city  in  which  campaigning  is  being 
done.  The  advantages  of  the  new  plan  for  turning  the  training  of  college 
men  to  useful  account  in  city  life  were  quickly  seen,  and  the  news  of  the 
New  York  movement  spread.  Boston  and  Chicago  have  already  followed 
the  lead  in  organized  effort  along  similar  lines,  and  are  working  in  co- 
operation with  New  York.  Oliver  F.  Cutts,  Harvard  Law  School,  '03,  is  in 
charge  of  the  general  organization  work.  The  plan  is  to  carry  the  work  as 
far  as  the  interest  of  college  men  themselves  can  be  made  to  take  it,  and  to 
set  only  the  country  itself  as  a  final  natural  limit  to  the  ultimate  scope  of  the 
work.  The  ideal  is  for  the  development  of  a  nation-wide  force  of  college 
men  enlisted  under  this  central  leadership  for  concerted  effort  to  improve 
the  life  of  the  places  they  adopt  as  their  hon>es.  With  each  new  lot  of  grad- 
uates being  followed  from  their  colleges,  it  is  not  hard  to  imagine  the  work 
growing  to  such  proportions,  since  each  man  will  be  encouraged  by  the  sense 
that  he  is  working  in  unison  with  others  all  over  the  country  and  is  not 
making  a  more  or  less  futile  effort  alone. 

Whenever  it  is  possible,  the  appeal  is  made  by  men  of  the  same  college 
as  the  man  who  is  approached,  and  often  men  of  the  same  college  are 
brought  together  on  the  same  work.  Yale,  Harvard,  Princeton,  Cornell, 
and  Columbia  are  each  centering  a  group  of  boys'  club  leaders  in  one  settle- 
ment in  New  York.  This  method  is  found  to  be  most  successful  wherever 
it  can  be  carried  out.  When  it  can  not,  however,  the  appeal  of  the  work 
itself  is  usually  strong  enough,  once  the  men  are  actually  in  it.

1914]  SOCIAL  SERVICE  FOR  MICHIGAN  MEN  149 

The  principle  of  making  up  the  committees  of  the  various  colleges  that 
are  carrying  forward  the  work  of  getting  in  touch  with  the  new  men  is  sim- 
ilar to  the  more  general  organization  work.  It  is  recognized  that  as  a  man 
grows  older  and  has  been  out  of  college  some  years,  he  begins  to  acciunulate 
duties  which  interfere  with  such  work,  and  also  that  he  begins  to  get  out  of 
touch  with  the  actual  undergraduate  body.  So  the  aim  is  to  keep  filling  in 
the  committees  with  a  man  or  two  suggested  as  valuable  for  such  work, 
from  each  class  as  it  leaves  college.  At  the  same  time,  one  or  two  of  the 
older  members  are  able  to  drop  out  and  leave  their  duties  to  younger  hands. 
In  this  way,  the  membership  and  influence  of  the  committees  are  kept  con- 
stantly fresh,  while  the  new  men  always  come  into  a  board  experienced  in 
the  work  and  able  to  give  training  before  its  officers  pass  on. 

The  work  to  be  done  is  as  varied  as  the  life  of  the  citie?  themselves. 
Almost  any  man  can  find  something  to  his  taste.  Political  parties,  the 
churches,  citizens'  unions,  and  city  clubs,  the  Boy  Scouts,  the  Big  Brother 
organization,  the  Young  Men's  Christian  Association,  and  numerous  char- 
itable and  social  enterprises  are  among  the  institutions  interested  in  the 
movement  and  working  in  co-operation  with  it.  During  the  years  of  1912 
and  1913  men  in  New  York  were  interested  in  settlement  work,  boys'  club 
work,  civic  and  political  work,  Sunday  schools,  legal  aid,  teaching  English 
to  foreigners,  social  surveys,  and  friendly  visiting  for  the  Charity  Organiza- 
tion Society.  A  number  of  the  men  were  prime  movers  in  the  Honest 
Ballot  Association,  which  had  so  great  an  influence  in  the  recent  election. 
In  general,  the  work  takes  one  evening  a  week,  or  more  time  if  the  men 
want  to  give  it.  • 

Qualifications  for  the  work  are  so  many  that  they  cannot  be  listed. 
Even  the  star  banjo-player  of  the  college  glee  club  can  find  in  connection 
with  this  movement  some  actually  useful  purpose  to  which  his  ability  can 
be  turned,  for  musical  talent  is  at  a  premium.  Athletes,  of  course,  are  in 
particular  demand  in  connection  with  boys'  club  work,  for  there  is  no  man 
who  can  more  quickly  command  the  admiration  and  loyalty  of  the  boys  than 
the  man  with  a  fine  body  and  athletic  skill.  There  is  no  more  magic  charm 
than  the  university  letter  that  means  that  its  wearer  used  to  "play  on  the 
team." 

Dramatic  ability  may  be  turned  to  organizing  wholesome  neighborhood 
entertainments.  Training  in  law  or  technical  lines  can  all  be  used  in  teach- 
ing the  foreigners,  who  are  only  too  anxious  to  learn  about  the  country  to 
which  they  have  come  and  of  its  work,  and  who  often  need  only  the  spur 
of  the  information  and  encouragement  in  first  principles  that  a  trained  man 
can  give  to  urge  them  to  take  up  study  and  make  trained  men  of  themselves. 
Knowledge  of  medicine  is  always  needed  in  aiding  the  hundreds  of  ignorant 
families  to  improve  their  ways  of  living.  A  hobby  that  appeals  to  boys,  a 
love  of  outdoor  life  that  may  be  made  the  basis  of  plans  for  taking  boys 
for  excursions  and  camping  in  the  country,  the  ability  to  gain  the  affection 
and  confidence  of  a  boy,  so  necessary  in  the  men  in  the  Big  Brother  Move- 
ment, who  are  trying  to  do  something  with  the  boys  who  get  into  the  courts 
and  are  in  danger  of  becoming  habitual  criminals,  all  can  be  used  by  college 
men  whose  training  has  given  them  a  conception  of  character  and  the  intelli-

gence  to  use  their  influence  to  make  better  citizens  of  the  boys  they  can 
control.  Interest  in  civic  reform  can  always  find  an  outlet  in  political  activ- 
ity, and  men  willing  to  help  by  real  work  can  always  secure  with  ease  the 
introductions  necessary  to  put  them  in  touch  with  the  party  organization 
leaders  in  their  communities. 

Instances  of  the  activities  that  some  of  the  men  are  already  carrying 
on  give  the  best  idea  of  how  broad  a  field  is  covered.  One  civil  engineer 
has  become  a  member  of  the  Sanitation  Committee  of  the  Kips  Bay  Neigh- 
boorhood  Association  in  New  York,  working  on  sanitary  and  sewerage 
problems,  in  the  district.  Another  man  has  charge  .of  a  group  of  youngsters 
at  the  carpenter  benches  of  the  Warren  Goddard  House;  one  is  leading 
a  boys'  gym  club,  and  another  coaching  a  minstrel  show  at  the  same  settle- 
ment. A  mechanical  engineer  is  teaching  a  civil  service  class  in  the  Sta- 
tionary Firemen's  Labor  Union,  instructing  men  who  are  eager  to  qualify 
as  stationary  engineers.  Another  civil  engineer  spent  some  time  investigat- 
ing factories  for  fire  prevention,  and  took  a  club  of  boys  in  training  to  be 
citizens.  Boys'  club  work  is  one  of  the  most  significant  lines  of  endeavor 
that  the  college  men  take  up,  and  one  for  which  the  great  majority  of  men 
willing  to  try  are  reasonably  well  fitted. 

That  the  social  agencies  are  beginning  to  recognize  the  usefulness  of 
the  inter-collegiate  organization  is  indicated  in  the  requests  for  help  which 
have  been  coming  in.  From  one  settlement  came  the  word :  "Twenty  clubs 
waiting  to  be  admitted  for  want  of  directors  and  equipment.  We  need  men 
to  visit  the  neighborhood  about  sanitary  precautions.  We  need  men  to  inter- 
est themselves  in  finding  ways  to  rgach  these  new  citizens  and  help  them  to 
become  part  of  our  country."  The  Charity  Organization  Society  wrote: 
"We  need  men  in  all  parts  of  the  city."  The  secretary  of  the  Big  Brother 
Movement  sent  in  a  call  for  one  hundred  men  to  provide  "big  brothers" 
for  boys  who  had  come  before  the  Children's  Court. 

A  college  man  active  in  politics  wrote :  "There  is  no  better  field  than 
New  York  for  a  college  man  who  wishes  to  do  political  work.  A  man  who 
is  willing  to  help  will  find  himself  welcome  in  most  political  organizations." 
This  fall  should  see  a  noticeable  extension  of  the  intercollegiate  work 
along  many  lines,  for  it  will  be  the  first  year  that  the  committees  will  have 
the  advantage  of  being  given  the  addresses  of  the  new  men  through 
the  clearing  house  that  is  handling  the  blanks  which  have  been  filled  out  by 
this  year's  seniors.  Already  the  committee  has  gotten  in  touch  with  250 
men  through  these  blanks,  and  many  more  should  be  added  before  the  count 
is  complete.  The  first  work  to  be  done  is  to  give  the  prospective  workers 
a  sort  of  bird's-eye  view  of  the  field  to  be  covered.  This  is  done  by  holding 
meetings  at  which  men  prominent  in  the  various  lines  of  work  meet  the 
graduates  and  talk  with  them,  and  also  by  taking  the  men  out  to  see  some 
of  the  actual  social  work  that  is  being  carried  on.  As  the  movement  grows, 
the  central  committee  offices  at  554  West  114th  Street  bid  fair  to  find  them- 
selves the  headquarters  for  one  of  the  most  significant  campaigns  of  volun- 
teer civic  reform  yet  undertaken  in  the  country.

ATHLETICS 


MICHIGAN,  34;  PENNSYLVANIA,  3 

The  Michigan  team  reached  its  highest 
point  of  efficiency  when  it  trounced  its  old- 
time  foe,  the  Pennsylvania  Quakers,  by 
the  satisfactory  score  of  34  to  3,  on  the  af- 
ternoon of  November  7.  Everything  which 
had  been  expected,  and  which  Yost  had 
hoped  would  be  used,  in  the  Harvard  game, 
came  out  on  this  Saturday,  in  a  brilliant, 
smas>hing  attack  and  a  stonewall  defense 
which  held  the  rangy  opponents  helpless 
throughout  the  hour  of  play. 

Like  its  predecessors  in  years  past,  the 
1914  appearance  of  Pennsylvania  on  Ferry 
Field  was  the  signal  for  a  homecoming  of 
thousands  of  alumni,  and  a  crowd  of  ap- 
proximately 23,000  people  packed  the  stands 
for  the  game.  Ann  Arbor  took  on  its  an- 
nual appearance  of  collegiate  gaiety,  and 
a  perfect  co-operation  by  th«  Weather  Man 
combined  to  make  this  Qusdcer-Wolver- 
ine  game  the  banner  event  of  Michigan's 
1914  gridiron  history. 

The  Varsity  was  unbeatable  this  afiter- 
noon  of  November  7.  It  had  been  prophe- 
sied by  many  that  th«  men  had  "gone  stale" 
from  their  supreme  efforts  in  the  Harvard 
game.  And  for  the  first  part  of  the  open- 
ing quarter,  it  looked  as  if  these  predic- 
tions were  to  prove  true. 

But  from  the  moment  Matthew  of  Penn 
kicked  his  drop-kick  from  the  30-yard  line 
and  put  the  visitors  out  in  front  with 
the  only  score  of  the  game  up  to  that 
point.  Captain  Raynsford  and  his  men 
rallied  to  tiie  attack  which  took  them  sweep- 
ing down  the  field  to  an  overwhelming 
victory. 

The  Varsity's  quota  of  points  in  the 
second  quarter  was  20,  and  14  more  were 
added  in  the  third.  A  second  string  of 
backs,  shoved  into  the  game  in  the  last 
period,  was  responsible  for  the  absence  of 
further  scores  in  this  quarter.  From  the 
time  when  Matthew  had  made  his  drop- 
kick,  up  until  the  very  last  moments  of 
play,  when  a  series  of  short  forward  passes 
took  the  ball  down  into  Michigan  terri- 
tory, Pennsylvania  was  helpless  on  ti>e 
offense.  The  whole  of  the  intervening  time 
was  taken  up  by  the  Varsity  scoring  ma- 
x:hine's  activities  in  making  touchdowns. 

Open  play  won  the  game  for  Michigan. 
Two  double  passes  were  the  direct  cause 
of  the  first  touchdown.    One  of  them  en- 


abled Catlett  to  carry  the  ball  well  down 
into  Penn  territory  with  a  9-yard  gain. 
A  series  of  short  plunges  by  Maulbetsch 
took  the  pigskin  to  the  5-yard  line,  and  here 
Hughitt  and  Catlett  negotiated  their  sec- 
ond double  pass  ami  the  Varsity  had  scored. 

The  second  and  third  touchdowns  came 
directly  through  two  brilliant  forward  pas- 
ses. Benton  was  on  the  receiving  end  of 
the  first  one,  taking  the  ball  from  Splawn 
following  a  double  pass  back  of  the  Mich- 
igan line,  and  racing  the  last  7  yards  to  a 
touchdown.  The  oUier  forward  pass  was 
typical  of  the  deadly  team  play  of  the 
Varsity.  A  toss  to  Benton  from  Hughitt 
was  a  little  too  hard,  bounding  off  the 
left  end's  finger  tips.  But  Staatz  was 
racing  alongside  of  Benton  on  the  play, 
and  raked  in  the  ball  as  it  glanced  from  his 
team-mate's  hands  toward  him.  He  was 
downed  on  the  6-yard  line,  20  yards  being 
made  on  the  play.  From  here  Maulbetsch 
took  the  ball  over  on  two  plunges. 

Hughitt  and  Maulbetsch  made  the  other 
two  touchdowns  for  the  Varsity,  straight, 
hard  football,  with  an  occasional  trick  and 
some  open  formations,  being  responsible  for 
the  gains  which  made  the  last  goal-crossing 
plunge  possible. 

As  in  the  games  which  preceded  the 
Penn  battle,  Michigan's  left  halfback,  Maul- 
betsch, was  the  offensive  star,  his  grinding, 
smashing  plunges  through  the  Penn  de- 
fense netting  more  ground  than  that  made 
by  any  other  single  man  on  the  Michigan 
offense.  His  gains  were  rendered  posstble, 
however,  by  the  effective  work  of  the 
Varsity  linemen  in  opening  up  holes  in  the 
Penn  defense.  Reimann,  Cochran  and  Mc- 
Hale  were  especially  effective  in  this  par- 
ticular, shoving  the  Quaker  forwards  aside 
as  Maulbetsch  slashed  by.  Catlett  was  an- 
other offensive  star,  slippery  end  runs  mak- 
ing his  every  attempt  to  gain  a  spectacular 
dash  past  the  Penn  tacklers. 

Splawn,  though  punting  better  than  at 
any  previous  time  this  year,  missed  two  at- 
tempts at  drop-kicks.  He  and  Hughitt  had 
completely  recovered  from  the  injuries 
which  rendered  them  ineffective  at  Har- 
vard, and  both  played  strong  games.  Ben- 
ton and  Staatz  at  ends  were  far  better  than 
the  veterans  who  opposed  them,  Benton  es- 
pecially starring  all  the  way.

CORNELL,  28;  MICHIGAN,  13 

All  the  thrills  of  victory,  then  of  thread- 
bare hope  of  a  win,  and  finally  of  defeat, 
were  combined  in  the  game  which  closed 
the  Michigan  gridiron  season  on  Ferry 
Field,  when  the  veteran  eleven  from  Cor- 
nell trotmced  the  Varsity  wit^  a  score  of 
28  to  13.  It  was  the  ability  of  the  ex- 
perienced, seasoned  players  from  Ithaca  to 
"come  back"  in  the  second  half,  which  won 
them  the^  heart-breaking^  victory.  They 
sihowed  this  ability  so  convincingly  that  even 
the  most  enthusiastic  Maize  rooter  was 
willing  to  admit  that  the  winners  were  the 
better  team. 

The  Varsity  started  into  this  last  game 
of  the  year  with  the  same  brilliant  dash 
and  attack  which  had  characterized  its 
play  in  the  Penn  clash,  an(}  the  spurt  gave 
Michigan  a  13  to  6  lead  for  the  first  half. 
But  this  attack  crumpled,  and  with  it  the 
defense,  when  the  veteran  Ithacans  started 
their  terrific,  battering  offense  in  the  sec- 
ond half,  an  offense  which  first  rolled  back 
the  Michigan  defense,  and  then  completely 
routed  it. 

It  was  the  fact  that,  at  any  time  up  to 
the  middle  of  the  final  quarter,  the  Varsity 
might  have  gone  out  in  front  with  a  spurt, 
that  gave  to  the  game  its  thrills.  Even 
after  the  visitors  had  scored  three  touch- 
downs, Michigan  might  have  taken  the 
lead  by  crossing  the  goal  line  and  kicking 
the  extra  point,  for  the  Cornell  kickers  were 
consecutively  missing  their  attempts  at 
kicking  goal.  But  when  the  field-goal  by 
Barrett  and  the  dashing  58-jrard  sprint  for 
a  touchdown  by  this  same  brilliant  Comel- 
lian  had  robbed  the  Wolverines  of  their 


last  hope,  the  game  turned  into  a  rout,  and" 
the  winners  were  marching  to  another 
touchdown  when  the  final  whistle  blew. 

The  brilliant  work  of  Barrett  on  offense, 
the  impregnable  defense  of  Captain 
O'Hearn  at  end,  and  the  concerted,  smash- 
ing attack  of  the  Cornell  backs,  featured 
the  game  played  by  the  winners.  Barrett's^ 
punting  outclassed  that  of  Splawn,  while 
his  slashing  en<l  runs  time  after  time  put 
his  team  within  striking  distance,  and  once 
took  the  ball  over  for  a  score  from  up  in 
his  own  territory. 

In  the  words  of  Coach  Yost,  "Michigan 
lost  her  *gimp'  in  the  second  half."  Rei- 
mann, Cochran  and  Staatz  were  helpless- 
before  the  concerted  attack  which  the  Cor- 
nell backs  pounded  at  them,  and  succes- 
sive marches  down  the  field  for  touch- 
downs resulted.  Twice  the  Varsity  rallied* 
and  seemed  about  to  retrieve  their  lost 
ground.  Once  they  took  the  ball  near  the 
middle  of  the  field  and  Maulbetsch  pro- 
ceeded to  smash  his  way  through  for 
consistent  gains.  This  rally  came  just  at 
the  opening  of  the  fourth  quarter,  Whtn- 
the  score  stood  at  Cornell  19,  Michigan  13, 
with  the  chance  for  the  Varsity  to  go- 
ahead  with  7  points.  But  a  forward  pass 
to  Catlett  from  Splawn  went  out  of  bounds- 
and  the  opportunity  was  gone. 

At  another  time  a  well-executed  for- 
ward pass  to  Catlett,  who  had  been  con- 
cealed along  the  side-lines,  netted  a  gain- 
of  over  40  yards.  Maulbetsch  failed  on 
two  attempts  to  gain  through  the  line,  and 
when  two  tricks,  one  a  forward  pass  and 
the  other  from  a  place-kick  formation, 
failed,  the  ball  went  over  to  the  Ithacans, 
and  the  last  opportunity  to  make  up  lost 
ground  was  past. 

The  Varsity's  scores  came  early,  and' 
seemed  to  prophesy  the  same  kind  of  a 
Michigan  victory  which  had  humbled  Penn* 
the  week  before.  A  fumbled  punt  by  Bar- 
rett gave  Michigan  the  ball  far  down  in 
Cornell  territory.  A  couple  of  line  plunges- 
advanced  the  ball  a  short  distance,  and  then 
the  same  kind  of  a  double  pass,  ending  in^ 
a  forward  heave,  which  had  fooled  Penn- 
sylvania, so  demoralized  the  Cornellians 
that  Staatz  was  able  to  take  the  ball  while 
standing  behind  the  Red  goal  line,  and 
score  the  first  touchdown. 

A  long  forward  pass,  Hughitt  to  Ben- 
ton, put  the  ball  on  the  Cornell  ii-yard  line 
at  the  opening  of  the  second  quarter,  and 
here  Yost's  now  famous  "talking  play"  put 
the  ball  over.  In  this  play  the  Varsity 
lined  up,  only  to  seem  to  hesitate  as  Tommy 
Hughitt  called  a  "change  signals,"  and' 
started  to  walk  back  toward  a  new  position. 
Off  guard,  the  Cornellians  were  easy  prey 
to  the  unexpected  plunge  of  Maulbetsch, 
who  dashed  into  their  midst  while  Hughitt

was  still  talking ;  and  the  Varsity  had  scor- 
ed thdr  second  and  last  touchdown. 

With  the  Coraellians  leading  the  attack 
during  most  of  the  game,  Michigan's  de- 
fensive players  were  given  a  better  chance 
to  star  than  were  the  backs.  Captain  Rayns- 
ford,  Cochran  and  Benton  showed  best  of 
all.  Hughitt  and  Maulbetsch  were  the  chief 
cogs  in  the  offense.  During  the  brief  time 
he  was  in  at  end,  Dunne  exhibited  a  spec- 
tacular strength.

SOPHOMORE  UTS  CAMPUS  CHAMPIONS 

By  their  contested  victory  over  the  junior 
law  team  by  the  score  of  2  to  o>  the  team 
representing  the  sophomore  lit  class  won 
the  Campus  football  championship  in  the 
last  game  of  the  season,  on  November  20. 
Although  a  lit  player  later  admitted  that 
he  had  been  responsible  for  a  mistaken 
decision  by  the  umpire  which  gave  the  game 
to  his  team,  the  class  leaders  refused  to 
play  the  game  over  and  the  title  therefore 
went  to  the  1917  men. 

The  championship  game  brought  to  a 
close  an  unusually  successful  season,  in 
which  13  teams  contested  in  close  to  a 
half -hundred  games.  For  the  first  time  in 
the  history  of  interclass  athletics,  a  thor- 
ough coadhing  system  was  in  vognie,  and 
many  of  the  teams  had  the  advantage  of 
skilled  teaching.  More  care  was  taken 
in  the  matter  of  keeping  in  condition  and 
in  practicing,  the  ultimate  champions  in 
particular  showing  their  earnestness  by 
appearing  for  practice  every  day  during 
the  season. 

The  contested  play  which  resulted  in  the 
safety  came  in  the  third  quarter  of  the 
championship  game  after  Thurston  of  the 


lits  had  punted  close  down  to  the  law  goal 
line.  Rowan,  playing  back  for  his  team, 
allowed  the  ball  to  bounce  along,  hoping 
that  it  would  go  over  the  goal  line  for  a 
touchback.  A  scuffle  occurred  near  the  ball 
just  before  it  became  "dead"  and  Umpire 
Crawford  ruled  that  Rowan  had  caused  it 
to  bounce  behind  the  goal  line,  where  the 
law  player  touched  it  down.  The  play  was 
ruled  a  safety,  but  later  Joslyn  of  the  win- 
ners admitted  that  it  was  he  who  had 
knocked  the  ball  back  of  the  law  goal.

COCHRAN  ELECTED  CAPTAIN;  HUGHITT 
WINS  CUP 

William  D.  Cochran  and  Ernest  F.  Hugh- 
itt won  the  most  coveted  post-season  honors 
among  Michigan's  Varsity  football  play- 
ers, the  former  being  chosen  as  captain  of 
the  191S  team,  and  the  latter  winning  the 
Schulz-Heston  trophy  cup  which  each  year 
goes  to  the  man  deemed  most  valuable  to 
his  team. 

The  election  of  Cochran,  right  tackle  on 
the  igLj.  Varsity,  came  at  the  time  of  the 
taking  of  the  football  picture.  For  the 
first  time  in  many  years,  he  was  the  unani- 
mous choice  of  his  fellows,  getting  the  fif- 
teen ballots  on  the  formal  vote.  In  the  in- 
formal balloting  but  two  other  men  had 
been  named,  each  getting  one  vote  apiece. 

Michigan's  new  captain  starred  on  de- 
fense all  durinp:  the  season  just  past,  and 
was  also  effective  in  opening  up  holes  for 
his  backs.  His  home  is  in  Houghton,  Mich., 
where  he  played  four  years  of  prep,  school 
football,  working  at  center.  Inasmuch  as 
Yost  loses  his  1914  center  through  the  grad- 
uation of  Captain  James  Raynsford,  it  is 
more  than  likely  that  once  more  Michigan 
will  be  led  on  the  field  in  1915  by  a  center- 
captain.  Ra3msford  was  a  successor  to 
Center  "Bubbles"  Paterson,  the  leader  in 

1913. 

Hughitt's  winning  of  the  Schulz-Heston 
cup  marks  the  second  year  of  its  award, 
James  B.  Craig  being  the  man  to  receive  it 
in  1913.  This  year's  holder  was  practically 
the  tmanimous  choice  of  the  trophy  com- 
mittee. Captain  Raynsford  coming  second,

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[December 


Maulbetsch  third  and  Codiran  fourth.  Head 
Coach  Yost,  Assistant  Coach  "Oermany" 
Schulz,  one  of  the  famous  Michigan  ath- 
letes after  whom  Huston  Brothers,  the 
donors  of  the  trophy,  named  the  award, 
and  Trainer  Steve  Farrell  composed  the 
award  board,  each  voting  for  four  men  in 
the  order  of  their  choice.  Hughitt  was 
given  two  first  and  one  third. 

ALL-AMERICAN  AND  ALL-WESTERN 
TEAMS 

In  all  the  numerous  selections  of  All- 
Western  and  All-American  football  teams 
which  preceded  the  naming  of  the  eleven 
generally  conceded  the  highest  place,  that 
of  Walter  Camp  of  Yale,  the  name  of 
Maulbetsch,  left  halfback  on  the  1914  Var- 
sity, was  most  generally  accorded  a  place. 
He  was  practically  the  only  Michigan  play- 
er to  be  accorded  first  recognition,  though 
several  of  the  other  players  were  given 
places  on  the  "second"  elevens. 

In  the  All- Western  teams  named  by  Wal- 
ter Eckersall  of  the  Chicago  Tribune,  and 
G.  W.  Axelson  of  the  Chicago  Herald, 
Maulbetsch  was  placed  at  a  halfback  post 
Eckersall  put  Captain  Raynsford  at  center 
^n  his  second  team,  giving  Cochran  a  place 
at  guard  on  the  same  eleven.  Axelson 
named  Hughitt  as  his  second  string  quar- 
terback, putting  him  next  to  the  whirlwind 
mini,  Clark. 

Eastern  critics,  evidently  impressed  by 
Maulbetsch's  showing  against  Harvard, 
have  heen  nearly  unanimous  in  putting  the 
Wolverine  in  their  mjrthical  backfields.  The 
other  Michigan  players,  however,  have 
failed  to  get  general  recognition. 


SIXTEEN  -MV  AWARDED 

Sixteen  Varsity  football  players  received 
the  certificates  which  entitle  them  to  the 
coveted  gridiron  "M",  in  the  annual  Mich- 
igan Union  football  smoker  which  was  held 
in  Waterman  gymnasium  on  the  Tuesday 
night  following  the  Cornell  game.  The 
award  was  based  mainly  on  participation 
in  the  Pennsylvania  and  Cornell  games, 
those  making  the  selections  being  Coach 
Yost,  Captain  James  W.  Raynsford,  Trainer 
Steve  Farrell  and  Graduate  Director  Phillip 
G.  Bartelme. 

The  award  of  the  certificates  came  just 
at  the  close  of  the  smoker  at  which  nearly 
1500  rooters  had  been  given  their  final 
chance  to  let  loose  with  their  yells  for  the 
1914  Varsity.  Professor  Ralph  W.  Aigler, 
of  the  Law  Department,  a  member  of  the 
athletic  board  in  control,  made  the  award, 
calling  each  athlete  to  the  platform  to  re- 
ceive his  *'diploma"  of  gridiron  merit.  Cap- 
tain James  W.  Raynsford,  Captain-elect 
Wiliam  D.  Cochran  and  the  veteran  Tom- 


my Hughitt  came  first,  and  were  received 
enthusiastically,  with  Maulbetsch  also  being 
accorded  deafening  applause  as  he  marched 
up.  All  of  these  men  had  to  make  short 
speeches  to  the  insistent  rooters  before  they 
were  allowed  to  sit  down. 

The  sixteen  who  this  year  won  the  coveted 
letter  were  Captain  Raynsford,  Cochran, 
Hughitt,  Catlett,  Lyons,  James,  Bushnell, 
McHale,  Dunne,  Reimann,  Watson,  Staatz, 
Benton,  Maulbetsch,  Splawn,  and  Bastian. 

Of  those  who  played  ii^  the  two  final 
games,  Huebel  was  the  only  man  who  did 
not  win  a  letter,  the  selection  committee 
ruling  him  out  because  of  the  fact  that  he 
had  played  in  but  a  small  number  of  games. 
James,  veteran  substitute  end,  was  given  an 
"M"  although  he  did  not  play  in  either  of 
the  big  home  games. 

The  big  smoker  was  the  occasion  of  one 
of  the  few  public  addresses  which  Coach 
Fielding  H.  Yost  has  made  at  Michigan, 
Refusing  to  get  onto  the  platform,  Yost 
stood  out  in  front  of  the  huge  gathering 
and  told  what  he  thought  of  the  men  who 
had  played  for  him  this  year,  and  what  he 
thought  of  Michigan  athletics.  Not  a  sound 
save  the  coach's  soft  drawl  sounded  during 
that  speech  and  when  it  was  over  he  was 
given  a  reception  which  made  even  the 
roof-raising  noise  of  the  forepart  of  the 
celebration  sound  very  small. 

"In  all  my  years  at  Michigan  I  have 
never  had  to  work  with  a  more  consci- 
entious, a  more  loyal  and  willing  lot  of 
men  than  those  who  have  played  this  year," 
was  the  tribute  which  Yost  paid  to  the 
1914  Varsity. 

"In  every  game  which  Michigan  has  play- 
ed in  this  and  other  years,  her  men  have 
played  clean,  have  played  for  the  love  of 
the  sport  and  its  good  name,"  was  the 
tribute  he  paid  to  Wolverine  athletics. 

"This  year  we  had  green  men.  Next 
year  we  will  have  a  more  experienced 
team.  It  all  depends,  of  course,  on  what 
the  men  do  when  they  get  out  on  the  field, 
but  prospects  are  bright  now  if  the  men 
work,"  was  his  prophecy  for  the  season 
of  191 5.  He  said  lots  more  that  sank  deep 
into  the  minds  and  hearts  of  those  who 
listened  to  him,  but  these  key-notes  stood 
out  above  the  rest. 

The  smoker  of  November  17  marked 
the  second  thne  that  Michigan's  football 
players  have  been  given  certificates  entit- 
ling them  to  die  Varsity  letter.  So  success- 
ful has  the  practice  proven  that  it  is  plan- 
ned to  continue  it,  and  the  annual  Michigan 
Union  Smoker  will  be  the  occasion  of  the 
presentation. 

At  this  smoker  Attorney  Francis  'D. 
Eaman,  '00,  of  Detroit,  James  Schermer- 
horn,  publisher  of  the  Detroit  Times,  Pro- 
fessor Robert  E.  Bunker,  of  the  Law  De-

This  change  is  the  result  of  a  request  on 
the  part  of  Dr.  C.  B.  de  Nancrede  that  he 
be  relieved  of  some  of  the  work  as  'head 
of  the  surgical  department  of  the  Medical 
School  and  Hospital.— The  Board  passed  a 
vote  of  thanks  to  Edward  J.  Marshall,  a 
graduate  of  the  University,  now  a  lawyer 
of  Toledo,  O.,  for  the  gift  of  a  very  valu- 
able and  rare  work  on  corporations,  writ- 
ten in  1659.  toy  William  Sh^eard— J.  E. 
Howell,  a  graduate  from  the  Law  School 
in  1870,  has  presented  the  University  with 
a  four  and  a  half-inoh  refracting  telescope, 
six  feet  long,  for  the  University  Observa- 
tory. This  gift  is  a  very  valuable  one.— The 
Board  authorized  the  printing  of  150  copies 
of  the  records  of  the  proceedings  of  the 
University  Regents  from  the  year  1837, 
when  the  University  was  establislhedi,  till 
1864,  when  the  first  Regents  Proceedings 
were  printed  and  filed  away.  This  makes 
available  every  act  of  every  Board  since 
the  first  meeting  in  1837.— Professor 
Henry  C.  Adams  was  granted  a  leave  of 
absence,  for  the  first  semester  of  1915-16, 
that  he  might  return  to  China  and  com- 
plete^ the  work  in  unifying  the  govern- 
ment's'  transportation  system. — A  vote  of 
thanks  was  extended  to  the  following,  all  but

"BOSTON 

The  smoker  given  by  the  New  England 
Association  on  the  eve  of  the  Harvard 
game,  which  is  described  elsewhere,  was 
under  the  general  charge  of  William  T. 
Whedon,  '81,  of  Norwood,  Mass.,  and  E.  R. 
Hurst,  '13,  Secretary  of  the  Club,  aided  by

The  Club  held  its  regular  monthly  din^ 
ner  at  the  Boston  City  Club  on  December 
5.  The  weekly  luncheons  are  continued  for

BIRNnNGHAM 

The  second  annual  banquet  of  the  Alumni 
Association  for  the  State  of  Alabama,  was 
held  in  the  private  dining  room  of  the 
Newspaper  Club,  Birmingham,  Ala.,  at 
eight  o'clock,  on  the  evening  of  the  four- 
teenth of  November. 

The  program  of  the  dinner  was  the  cul- 
minating part  of  a  day  that  was  full  of  in- 
teresting events  for  the  Men  of  Michigan. 
Our  celebration  began  at  1 130  in  the  after- 
noon, when  eighteen  of  us  gathered  at  the 
Hillman  Hotel,  to  shake  "tends,  and  don 
our  colors.  The  official  colors  were  at- 
tached to  the  lapels  of  each  man.  And  in 
machines,  flying  the  Maize  and  Blue,  we 
went  out  to  the  game.  The  game  staged, 
was  between  Auburn,  the  Southern  cham- 
pions, and  our  "kinsfolk,"  Vanderbilt.    Mc- 


Lane  Tilton,  Jr.,  '00/,  probably  the  best 
known  alumnus  in  the  State,  was  host  to 
our  party  at  the  game.  It  was  a  good 
event  and  every  one  of  the  eighteen  attend- 
ing, from  Major  Pettibone,  '59,  to  the  last 
man  from  above  the  Mason-Dixon  line,  sat 
through  the  drizzling  rain  and  watched 
Coach  McGugin's  men,  crippled  as  they 
were,  hold  the  strong  Alabama  Plainmen  to 
a  hard  earned  6-0  victory.  "A  dry  field!" 
is  all  that  Dan  would  say. 

At  the  game,  with  a  six-foot  banner,  set- 
ting out  "Michigan"  in  yellow  on  the  blue 
background,  stretched  across  our  boxes,  we 
attracted  Mr.  Scott,  '78,  of  Duluth,  Minn., 
to  our  fold.  It  was  a  pleasure  to  have  hhn 
with  us.  Then,  between  halves  and  after 
the  game,  we  had  Mr.  McGugin  as  a  visitor. 
We  returned  to  the  city  and  lounged 
around  the  Club  rooms,  trying  to  figure  out 
the  "why"  of  the  Cornell  score,  till  the  time 
set  for  the  banquet.  No  satisfactory  an- 
swer was  reached. 

There  are  about  sixty  eligible  Michigan 
men  in  the  State  of  Alabama.  There  were 
twenty-two  at  the  banquet,  a  good  percent- 
age. The  following  program  was  given, 
with  words  from  several  of  the  others 
there. 

Introduction  of  Toastmaster,  Mr.  Henry  Geismer, 
'q7c — President,  Mr.  McLane  Tilton,  'ool.  Pell 
City. 

The  Michigan  Union — Mr.  J.  L.  Cox,  '12,  Bir- 
mingham. 

Michigan's  Influence  in  the  South — Mr.  Hugh 
McElderry,   '981,  Talladega. 

Michigan  and  Ann  Arbor  in  the  '50's — Major  A. 
H.    Pettibone,   '59,    Birmingham. 

Michigan  and  Athletics — Coach  McGugin,  '04I, 
Nashville,  Tenn.

The  Opporttmity  Presented  for  Michigan  Men  in 
Alabama — Dean  A.  J.  Farrah,  •85-*86,  JoSl, 
Law  Department,  University  of  Alabama,  lias- 
caloosa. 

Coach  McGugin  was  the  guest  of  honor 
at  the  dinner,  and  his  responses  to  the 
steady  flow  of  questions  from  the  men  fur- 
nished the  life  of  the  dinner  period. 

Preceding  the  pr(»ram,  the  business 
meeting  was  held  The  officers  for  the 
next  year  were  elected,  as  fallows:  presi- 
dent, Mr.  H.  S.  Gcismer,  '97^;  vice-presi- 
dent, Mr.  C.  B.  Davis,  'oie;  and  secretary, 
Mr.  H.  F.  Pelham,  '11,  '13/.  The  secretary 
was  instructed  to  appoint  a  committee  of 
two,  who  with  himself,  were  ordered  to 
draw  up  resolutions  on  the  death  of  Robert 
Emmett  Nolan,  '11/,  whose  death  in  New 
York  City  on  the  23rd  of  September,  last, 
took  from  us  the  founder  of  our  associa- 
tion^ and  a  friend  of  the  first  water. 

It  was  voted  not  to  invite  and  attempt  to 
entertain  the  Glee  Club  this  coming  Christ- 
mas season,  due  to  the  announcements  that 
Birmingham  is  to  have  the  Alabama,  Au- 
burn and  Yale  clubs  during  the  Holi<lays. 
A  vote  of  thanks  was  given,  standing,  to 
Mr.  Tilton  for  his  entertainment  of  the 
afternoon. 

The  Banquet.  Mr.  McLane  Tilton,  the 
president,  proposed  a  silent  toast  to  Presi- 
dent Wilson, — we  all  belong  to  the  "Solid 
South*'  down  here — and  then  one  was  ten- 
dered to  the  memory  of  Robert  Emmett 
Nolan.  Mr.  H.  S.  Geismer  was  introduced 
to  the  gathering  as  the  toastmaster  of  the 
occasion,  and  responded  by  calling  on  each 
man  to  arise  after  his  name  was  called 
and  acknowledge  the  same  by  bowing.  And 
things  started  there.  Cares  and  worries, 
pontics  and  7c  cotton,  war  and  the  Cornell 
score,  were  all  forgotten — Ann  Arbor  was 
the  situs  of  our  minds.  The  orchestra 
played  "The  Victors,"  and  we  drowned  the 
Airf)um  cheers  of  the  main  dining  room, 
with  ours  for  "Meechigun."  And  when 
"The  Yellow  and  Blue"  was  sung  as  we 
stood,  the  dancers  of  the  auditorium  stop- 
ped to  witness  our  tribute  to  our  Alma 
Mater. 

Major  Pettibone,  '59,  told  us  of  the  es- 
capades of  his  day  and  of  his  two  political 
victories  over  "Bob"  Taylor  for  Congress, 
from  Tennessee.  His  interest,  both  at  the 
game  and  at  the  banquet,  made  us  younger 
men  realize  that  the  love  for  Ann  Arbor 
grows  as  does  the  number  of  years  that 
pass,  after  we  leave  the  banks  of  the 
Huron. 

Those  present  were: 

D.  E.  Lowell,  'oSe,  Annlston;  Professor  C.  L. 
Hare,  A,M.  '03,  Auburn;  Major  A.  H.  Pettibone, 
'59;  H.  W.  Taylor,  *96p;  H.  S.  Geismer,  '97e; 
Dr.  Cabot  Lull,  Jr.,  'opm;  C  B.  Daris,  'oie; 
Judge  J.  T.  Stokely.  roo-'oi:  C  J.  Dougherty,

'xo;  Dugald  Gordon,  e'o6-'o9;  R.  £.  Burg,  'lie; 
J.  L.  Cox,  '12;  H.  F.  Pelham,  *ii.  'ijl;  M.  W. 
Fuhrer,  '14;  and  N.  L.  Smith,  '14,  all  of  Bir- 
mingham; McLane  Tilton,  Jr.,  'col,  and  W.  B. 
Goodenow.  '12,  '141,  of  Pell  City;  H.  L.  Mc-

'84-'85,  '96I,  Tuscaloosa;  and  Coach  Dan  Mc- 
Gugin, *04l,  Nashville,  Tenn. 

With  promises  for  next  year  and  a  re- 
newing of  our  wishes  for  the  continued 
success  of  the  University  and  pledges  of 
loyalty,  we  closed  with  the  ever-new  "The 
Yellow  and  Blue."

UMA.  OHIO 

The  University  of  Michigan  Alumni  As- 
sociation of  Lima,  organized  a  year  ago, 
and  now  numbering  almost  one  hundred 
members,  held  its  second  annual  meeting 
at  the  Lima  Club,  Thursday,  November 
10.  Officers  were  elected  for  the  coming 
year  and  two  amendments  were  made  to 
the  constitution. 

Judge  Theodore  D.  Robb,  Mayor  of 
Lima,  was  elected  honorary  president  of 
the  Association  for  life.  The  officers  for 
the  year  were  elected  as  follows: 

Judge  Martin  L.  Becker,  '72},  president. 
Dr.  Oliver  S.  Stdner,  *oim,  vice-president. 
Ralph   P.   Mackenzie,   'iil,  secretary. 
Fred  E.  Gooding,  '10,  treasurer. 
W.    B.    Kirk,    ^71,    member    alumni    advisory 
council. 

The  following  were  chosen  as  members 
of  the  Executive  Committee: 

Christian  P.  Morris,  '11;  Dr.  Paul  J.  Stueber, 
*i2m;  Dan  R.  Triplehom,  'iil;  Branson  H. 
Holmes,  'o4-*o6;  Donald  F.  Melhom,  '11,  '14I,  of 
Kenton.  Hardin  Co.,  Ohio:  James  P.  Leasure, 
'89I,  of  Ottawa,  Putnam  Co.,  Ohio;  Lewis  F. 
Stout,   '08I,  of  Wapakoneta,  Auglaize  Co.,   Ohio. 

The  ftrst  amendment  to  the  Constitution 
was  in  regard  to  the  membership.  Accord- 
ing to  the  Constitution,  as  adopted  in  1913, 
all  University  of  Michigan  men  having  at- 
tended the  University  for  one  year  in  good 
standing,  residing  in  Lima  and  vicinity 
were  eligible.  As  amended  all  Universi^ 
of  Michigan  men  having  attended  the  Uni- 
versity for  one  year  in  good  standing  re- 
siding in  Hardin,  Auglaize,  Van  Wert,  Put- 
nam and  Allen  Counties,  are  eligible  for 
membership  in  the  University  of  Michigan 
Alumni  Association  of  Lima.  It  was 
agreed,  however,  that  as  more  than  fifty  per 
cent  of  the  members  reside  in  LinKi,  the 
name  of  the  organization  should  remain 
the  same. 

The  second  amendment  of  the  Constitu- 
tion increased  the  number  of  the  members 
of  the  Executive  Committee  from  four  to 
eight  with  a  provision  that  at  least  one 
member  should  be  chosen  from  each  of 
the  counties  represented  in  the  organization. 
With  the  exception  of  a  member  from  Van 


Wert  County,  the  members  of  this  Com- 
mittee were  chosen  at  this  meeting. 

It  was  further  decided  at  the  meeting 
that  a  banquet  be  given  by  the  Association 
early  in  the  year,  the  details  to  be  worked 
out  by  the  Executive  Committee.

Secretary. 


MUSKOGEE,  OKLA. 

With  but  a  few  days  of  preparation,  a 
successful  meeting  of  Michigan  alumni  was 
held  on  the  day  of  the  Harvard-Michigan 
game,  October  31,  at  Muskogee,  Oklahoma. 
It  was  the  first  time  in  eight  years  that  a 
meeting  of  Michigan  men  had  been  at- 
tempted, but  so  hearty  was  the  response  to 
the  call  that  it  was  decided  to  hold  regular 
meetings  in  the  future,  to  which  alumni 
from  surrounding  towns  will  be  invited. 

During  the  afternoon,  reports  of  the 
progress  of  the  game  were  received.  A 
banquet  was  served  at  the  Severs  Hotel  at 
seven  o'clock,  with  Bert  E.  Nussbaum,  '96/, 
as  toastmaster.  Toasts  were  responded  to 
as  follows:  "The  Original  Law  Faculty," 
Charles  Wheeler,  '82/;  "The  Medical  Fac- 
ulty," Dr.  E.  H.  Troy,  '91W,  of  Mc- 
Alester,  Okla.;  **Michigan  Football  Con- 
quests," E.  A.  de  Meules,  /'oi-'oj;  "Our 
Duty  to  Alma  Mater,"  Glenn  Akorn,  '12/; 
'^Michigan's  Influence,"  John  A.  Bel  ford, 
'03/,  of  Okmulgee,  Okla.;  "Michigan  and 
Harvard  as  Rivals,"  H.  A.  Leekley,  Har- 
vard, '97.  The  dinner  was  interspersed 
with  Michigan  yells  and  songs,  that  were 
responded  to  with  great  enthusiasm.  Let- 
ters of  regret  were  read  from  alumni  un- 
able to  attend.  Those  present  in  addition 
to  those  above  mentioned  were:  George 
C.  Ackers,  '04/,  C.  A.  Ambrister,  /'o7-'o8, 
H.  L.  Armstrong,  '12/,  Dr.  Leo  E.  Bennett, 
'80m,  W.  H.  Caudill,  '10/,  Ezra  Branerd, 
'04/,  W.  S.  Cochrane,  '05/,  Carl  H.  Cooper, 
A.M.  '97,  Ph.D.  '01,  J.  L.  deGroot,  '02/, 
Judge  John  H.  King,  '03/,  J.  Prewitt  Nel- 
son, '11,  William  Hinton,  /'io-'i2,  Fred  S. 
Zick,  '11/.

OMAHA 

The  Michigan  men  of  Omaha  congregat- 
ed at  the  University  Club  on  October  31 
and  received  the  reports  of  the  Harvard 
game  by  special  wire.  We  rooted  hard  for 
old  Michigan  and  it  was  the  unanimous 
opinion  of  everyone  that  in  view  of  the 
splendid  showing  made,  the  team  deserves 
another  chance  at  Harvard. 

On  November  5,  Dr.  R.  M.  Wenley  was 
in  the  city,  speaking  before  the  Palimpset 
Club  and  the  Nebraska  State  Teachers'  con- 
vention.    A  number   of   the   local   alumni

PASADENA  ALUMNAE 

On  Saturday,  November  21,  the  Alumnae 
Association  of  Pasadena  held  its  regular 
meeting  at  the  home  of  Mrs.  Ralph  W. 
Bailey,  '00.  A  delightful  luncheon  was 
served,  the  following  members  being  pres- 
ent: Mrs.  John  D.  Mersereau,  '81;  Mrs. 
Emma  G.  Grossman,  '95;  Mrs.  Mabel  T. 
Butler,  '01;  Mrs.  Clayton  R.  Taylor,  '92; 
Mrs.  Harold  H.  Clark,  '02;  Mrs.  Edward 
F.  Parker,  '05;  Dr.  Alice  C.  Brown,  '97^; 
Fannie  E.  Henion,  '03;  Isabella  A.  Cass, 
*os;  and  Miss  King.  After  luncheon 
the  annual  ekction  was  held,  resulting  in 
the  choice  of  the  following  officers:  presi- 
dent, Mrs.  Clayton  R.  Taylor;  secretary, 
Dr.  Alice  Brown;  chairman  of  the  utility 
committee,  Mrs.  John  D.  Mersereau.  The 
treasurer's  report  showed  a  satisfactory 
balance  in  bank  to  begin  the  new  year. 
After  the  business  meeting,  old  memories 
were  revived  by  means  of  unmarked  pic- 
tures cut  from  back  numbers  of  The 
Ai^uMNUS,  the  identity  of  which  were  to 
be  guessed.  The  pictures  included  Uni- 
versity Hall,  members  of  the  Faculty,  foot- 
ball teams  and  Glee  Club  pictures,  and 
thirty-eight  out  of  a  possible  forty-eijght 
were  successfully  identified  by  Miss  King, 
(with  suggestions  from  all  others  present). 
AucB  C.  Brown,  Secretary. 


SAN  FRANCISCO 

The  San  Francisco  Alumni  started  the 
day  of  the  Harvard  game  by  sending  the 
following  telegram  to  James  W.  Rayns- 
ford,  Captain  Michigan  Footblall  Team, 
Cambridge,  Mass. 

"San  Francisco  Alumni  want  you  to  get 
'em,  play  low,  fast,  fight,  smash  that  line, 
win  for  Michigan. 

San  Francisco  Alumni." 

At  11:30  A.  M.  the  following  members 
gathered  at  the  Hof  Brau  Restaurant  in 
the  room  regularly  used  for  the  Michigan 
Weekly  Wednesday  Luncheons,  and  signed 
the  roll  in  the  following  order : 

C.  R.  Wright,  '  1 2I;  L.  C.  Anderson.  '08I;  C  W.

Duschak,  '04 ;  Alanson  Weeks,  '99m ;  G.  Chizum, 
'14;  V.  H.  Herbert. 

During  lunch  "Si"  Lawrence  and  Ber- 
nard Fallon  officiated  at  the  megaphone  and 
announced  the  plays  as  they  came  over  the 
wire  from  the  seat  of  war.  Billy  Shaf- 
roth, our  official  yell  leader,  contested  every 
second  of  the  time  with  the  announcers  and 
kept  things  moving,  and  between  halves 
played  Michigan's  repertoire  of  old  and 
new  songs,  with  full  choruses  to  all  of 
them  by  the  assembled  company.  President 
John  B.  Clayberg  presided,  an<i  after  the 
game  was  over  introduced  Judge  W.  B. 
Gilbert,  '72,  who  strongly  urged  Michigan 
men  to  hold  together  by  regular  reunions, 
and  spoke  of  what  Portland,  Oregon,  was 
doing  in  that  respect  by  meeting  once  a 
week.  W.  H.  Barrows,  '72/,  followed  and 
reviewed  the  work  of  Michigan  Alumni  in 
San  Francisco  and  proposed  plans  for  an 
annual  dinner.  Professor  H.  K.  Bassett, 
of  Columbia,  gave  a  very  clear  idea  of  the 
plans  formulated  by  the  various  alumni 
associations,  for  the  purpose  of  meeting  in 
San  Francisco  during  1915,  which  met  with 
warm  approval. 

Football  players  of  a  few  years  ago  were 
represented  by  Dr.  Alanson  Weeks,  'ggm, 
and  more  recent  times  by  "Si"  Lawrence, 
of  Michigan,  and  H.  Braddock,  of  Penn. 
The  latter  revived  many  pleasant  recollec- 
tions during  his  recital  of  hard  fought 
battles  between  Pennsylvania  and  Michigan. 

The  Dean  of  Michigan  alumni  in  San 
Francisco,  A.  Everett  Ball,  '69,  touched  a 
responsive  chord  when  the  declared:  "We 
young  fellows  have  got  to  stick  together 
and  stay  with  the  game." 

Song  books  supplied  by  the  Michigan 
Union  enabled  all  to  join  in  the  singing  and 
"The  Yellow  and  Blue"  is  now  well  es- 
tablished on  the  Pacific  Coast. 

The  day  was  brought  to  a  close  by  the 
following  wire  to  Captain  Raynsford, 
Michigan    Union,    Ann    Arbor,    Michigan: 

**Tell  your  men  fifty  Michigan  Alumni  in 
San  Francisco  followed  you  play  by  play, 
were  with  you  in  spirit  from  start  to  finish. 
You  played  a  splendid  game,  we  are  proud 
of  you,  our  loyalty  to  Michigan  is  stronger 
than  ever.

SIOUX  CITY,  lA. 

The  alumni  of  Sioux  City  met  on  the 
evening  of  October  31,  at  6:30,  in  the  Com- 
mercial Club  Cafe.  The  following  were 
present  : 

R.  M.  Dott,  *84l;  Kenneth  G.  Silliman,  '12I; 
Peter  Balkema,  '13I;  D.  C  Browning,  '05I;  Ross

After  dinner  at  a  well  decorated  table, 
an<i  after  singing  "The  Yellow  and  the 
Blue,"  and  giving  some  good  U.  of  M.'s 
and  a  Locomotive  or  two,  we  read  the 
Western  Union  report  of  the  game  play 
by  play.  To  go  with  this  report  we  had 
prepared  an  ei^ht  foot  paper  chart  sdiowing 
the  gridiron  with  all  the  plays  made  in  the 
game.  The  chart  was  well  made,  and  when 
followed  at  the  same  time  with  the  readr 
ing  of  the  report,  it  was  the  next  best  thing 
to  seeing  the  real  game.  As  we  followed 
the  progress  of  the  game,  we  cheered  vig- 
orously when  our  boys  were  marching 
down  the  Harvard  territory,  and  groaned 
convincingly  when  the  Crimson  gained. 

Following  this,  R.  M.  Dott,  '84/,  told  us 
about  the  two  Michigan-Harvard  games  in 
the  early  eighties  that  he  played  in.  Then 
we  took  up  the  matter  of  organization, 
electing  Mr.  Dott  president,  Clarence  A. 
Plank,  '94/,  vice-president,  Kenneth  G.  Sil- 


liman, *i2l,  secretary  and  Peter  Balkema, 
*I3/,  treasurer.  It  was  voted  to  'have  a 
monthly  dinner,  the  date  to  be  decided  later 
by  the  president  and  secretary. 

Dr.  Ross,  Dr.  Lawrence  and  Mr.  Puck- 
ett  gave  talks  on  "How  I  Happened  to  Go 
to  Michigan."  Mr.  Plank  spoke  on  Mich- 
igan spirit,  and  suggested  that  the  families 
of  members  be  invited  to  some  of  the 
monthly  dinners  because  they  had  as  much 
Michigan  spirit  as  if  they  had  attended  the 
University.  This  suggestion  will  be  fol- 
lowed out.  A.  J.  Kolyn  talked  on  the  sub- 
ject, ''Why  I  went  to  Ann  Arbor  to  study 
law,"  and  Professor  Masselink  spoke  on 
"Michigan  men  in  South  Africa  and  South 
African  men  in  Michigan. 

The  first  monthly  dinner  was  held  on 
Thursday,  November  19,  at  the  Martin 
Hotel.  Dinners  will  be  held  regularly  on 
the  third  Thursday  of  every  month  at  the 
Martin  Hotel.      Kenneth  G.  SauMAN,

EVENT  AND  COMMENT 


With  an  institution 
THE  UNiVERsnvs  which  always  aims  to 
BIENNIAL  REQUESTmarch  with,  or  in  ad- 
vance of,  the  times, 
there  is  usually  little  left  in  the  cash 
drawer  after  the  running  expenses  are 
paid  to  care  for  those  less  immediate, 
but  none  the  less  pressing,  require- 
ments which  spell  progress.  At  least 
this  is  very  true  of  the  University  of 
Michigan.  The  present  rate  of  growth 
shown  graphically  on  another  page 
renders  the  annual  income,  from  the 
mill  tax,  student  fees  and  other  sourc- 
es, barely  sufficient  for  ordinary  pur- 
poses. It  is  well  known,  as  may  be 
ascertained  from  easily  available  sta- 
tistics, that  many  other  state  universi- 
ties are  receiving  a  much  larger  net 
income  than  does  Michigan.  Were  the 
appropriations  figured  per  capita  for 
each  student,  the  disparity  would  be 
even  greater.  (H  But  laying  aside  such 
comparisons,  and  considering  merely 
the  final  efficiency  of  the  University 
and  its  continual  necessity  for  a  reas- 
onable expansion,  the  total  of  what 
has  come  to  be  a  biennial  request  of 
the  University  for  an  appropriation 
from  the  Legislature  cannot  seem  in 
any  way  extravagant,  though  the  ques- 
tion of  just  what  is  the  most  pressing 
need  is  a  delicate  one.  Where  one  ap- 
propriation is  made,  *  there  are  ten 
places  in  which  the  amount  involved 
might  be  advantageously  and  judi- 
ciously used.  Ci  Four  years  ago  it 
was  the  necessity  for  a  new  heating 
and  lighting  plant  which  was  laid  be- 


fore the  Legislature,  while  two  years 
ago  a  new  science  building,  to  be  the 
largest  building  upon  the  Campus,  and 
now  in  course  of  erection,  was  provid- 
ed. This  year,  according  to  the  decis- 
ion of  the  Regents  at  their  December 
meeting,  the  two  projects  which  have 
appealed  to  the  Board  as  the  most  in 
need  of  urgent  action  were  an  addi- 
tion to  the  General  Library,  together 
with  an  increase  in  the  equipment,  and 
a  model  school,  designed  to  be  a  train- 
ing school  and  teaching  laboratory  un- 
der the  direction  of  the  Department  of 
Education. 


No  one  in  touch  with 
AN  ADomoN  TO  the  University  will 
THE  LIBRARY       question  the  need  of 

the  Library.  In  spite 
of  repeated  re-adjustments  in  the  past 
few  years,  which  have  included  the 
incorporation  of  all  the  old  third  floor, 
formerly  the  art  gallery,  into  stacks 
and  seminary  rooms,  the  building  is 
hopelessly  overcrowded.  Seminary 
rooms  and  reading-room  accommoda- 
tions are  lacking.  While  the  Library 
aims  to  gather  and  care  for  all  mater- 
ial which  comes  within  its  range,  this 
policy  is  hampered  very  materially  by 
the  present  lack  of  sufficient  space. 
The  books  are  crowded  on  the  shelves, 
with  temporary  stacks  blocking  many 
passage-ways,  and  even  then,  there  is 
a  great  mass  of  material  which  is  stor- 
ed in  other  buildings  and  is  at  present 
practically  unavailable.       The    over-

[January 


crowded  lower  reading  room,  which 
was  designed  for  a  student  body  one 
third  its  present  proportions,  adds 
further  force  to  the  argument.  CH  Ac- 
cording to  its  latest  report,  the  Library 
numbers  337,417  volumes,  with  15,- 
600  items  added  during  the  year  1913- 
14.  This  total  is  in  truth  impressively 
large,  but  a  comparison  with  the  libra- 
ries which  some  other  universities  find 
necessary  for  their  work  shows  how 
great  a  room  there  is  for  further 
growth.  Harvard  has  a  library  of 
1,120,236  volumes  and  38,375  added 
last  year.  Yale  has  a  library  of  1,000,- 
000,  with  37,546  added  last  year.  Chi- 
cago has  431,544,  with  an  increase  of 
31,087  in  1913-14.  Cornell  has  439,- 
517,  with  an  addition  of  16,947  in  the 
one  year,  while  Wisconsin,  if  the  State 
Historical  Library  housed  in  the  same 
building  be  included,  has  a  library  of 
393,000.  Pennsylvania  has  a  library 
of  approximately  390,000,  and  Prince- 
ton 380,000.  With  proper  accommo- 
dations and  a  reasonable  increase  in 
the  income,  Michigan  might  increase 
the  effectiveness  of  the  Library  to  a 
degree  far  more  than  proportionate 
to  the  amount  involved  in  the  appro- 
priation. The  actual  sum  involved  in 
the  request  for  this  purpose  has  not 
been  definitely  fixed. 


To  those  who  are  fa- 
THE  REQUEST  FOR  miliar  with  the  histo- 
A  MODEL  SCHOOL  ry  of  the  University 

the  request  for  a 
building  to  be  used  as  a  teachers'  train- 
ing school,  in  effect  a  laboratory  for 
the  school  of  education,  suggests  the 
fact  that  Michigan  was  the  first  insti- 
tution in  the  country  to  establish  a 
special  department  devoted  to  the  sci- 
entific study  of  education  and  teaching. 
Originally  a  very  modest  undertaking, 
the  Department  of  Education  became 
under  the  direction  of  the  powerful 
personalities  of  the  late  Professors 
Payne  and  Hinsdale  a  model  for  the 
establishment  of  similar  schools  in  oth- 


er universities,  and  is  to  be  regarded 
therefore  as  the  pioneer  in  a  significant 
development  of  the  educational  life 
of  America.  CH  Elsewhere,  however, 
the  idea  has  now  been  carried  further 
than  at  Michigan.  Model  schools  sim- 
ilar to  the  one  proposed  have  been  es- 
tablished in  recent  years  at  many  other 
state  universities.  According  to  sup- 
erintendents of  schools  in  Michigan, 
who  have  been  asking  for  such  a 
school  for  many  years,  the  graduates 
of  the  University  who  take  up  the  pro- 
fession of  teaching  have  been  hamper- 
ed by  their  lack  of  technical  training, 
to  a  certain  degree  at  least,  however 
well  they  have  been  prepared  in  their 
particular  branches.  Consequently 
there  has  been  a  strong  and  increasing 
demand  for  such  a  school  as  is  propos- 
ed, on  the  part  of  educators  through- 
out the  State,  including  the  State 
Board  of  Education  and  the  normal 
schools  as  well,  which  has  convinced 
the  Regents  that  some  action  is  neces- 
sary. CHOf  importance  to  the  people  of 
the  State  when  the  question  comes  to  a 
final  consideration  will  be  the  distinc- 
tion between  the  work  of  the  State's 
normal  schools  and  that  of  this  model 
school  proposed  for  the  University. 
The  argument  of  those  who  advocate 
the  establishment  of  this  school  is  that 
in  the  last  analysis  the  graduates  of  the 
normal  schools  do  not  quite  fill  the 
place  demanded  of  the  graduates  of 
the  University  engaged  in  teaching. 
The  possessor  of  a  teacher's  diploma 
from  the  University,  as  regards  his 
knowledge  of  the  higher  branches,  is 
competent  to  fill  the  most  exacting  po- 
sitions. But  unless  he  has  had  train- 
ing in  the  normal  schools  or  has  had 
actual  experience,  as  many  have,  he  is, 
in  the  opinion  of  most  school  men,  de- 
cidedly deficient  in  the  technique  of 
his  profession.  •  This  in  essentials  is 
the  reason  for  the  establishment  of 
this  model  school,  which  it  is  argued 
will  give  the  student  who  intends  to 
become  a  teacher  the  necessary  prac- 
tical knowledge.

EVENT  AND  COMMENT

In  the  decision  sup- 
SUPI^EME  CXMJRT  porting  the  verdict  of 
UPHOLDS  LAW  the  Washtenaw  Cir- 
cuit Court  in  the  case 
of  the  People  vs.  Lawrence  Damni, 
given  by  the  Supreme  Court  of  the 
State  of  Michigan,  December  18,  the 
constitutionality  of  the  statute  against 
selling  liquor  to  a  student  in  the  Uni- 
versity was  upheld.  The  law  in  ques- 
tion is  an  old  one  which  has  practically 
been  a  dead  letter  for  many  years.  The 
provision,  however,  is  sufficiently  ex- 
plicit, forbidding  the  sale  of  liquor  to 
a  student  under  penalty  of  a  $200.00 
fine  or  three  months  in  jail,  or  both. 
CL  Complaints  were  made  against  the 
defendant  in  the  case  and  one  other 
local  saloon-keeper  in  October,  1913, 
as  the  result  of  the  arrest  of  a  student 
who  had  been  celebrating  unduly  the 
victory  of  Michigan  over  Pennsylva- 
nia. Later  two  other  students  were 
involved.  Following  an  investigation 
by  the  University  authorities,  the  first 
student  arrested  was  induced  by  his 
father,  to  make  a  full  confession.  This 
formed  the  basis  of  the  case.  (S.  In  the 
trial  before  the  Circuit  Court,  the  de- 
fendant was  convicted.  This  convic- 
tion was  unanimously  confirmed  in  the 
recent  decision  of  the  Supreme  Court. 
CL  A  previous  prosecution  of  the  de- 
fendant on  another  offense  and  under 
the  same  law  had  been  unsuccessful, 
although  the  local  judge,  E.  D.  Kinne, 
'64;  went  as  far  as  the  court  can  go 
in  a  criminal  case  in  his  charge  to  the 
jury,  directing  them  to  find  the  de- 
fendant guilty  if  the  facts  showed  that 
he  had  sold  liquor  to  a  student.  The 
jury,  however,  in  spite  of  what  seemed 
the  clearest  proof,  brought  in  a  verdict 
of  not  guilty.  In  this  second  trial, 
the  case  for  the  People  was  represent- 
ed by  the  prosecuting  attorney,  George 
J.  Burke,  '07/,  whose  contentions  were 
upheld  by  the  Supreme  Court.  The 
penaky  fixed  upon  the  defendant  by 
the  court  was  a  fine  of  $100.00.  In 
the  case  of  the  other  saloonkeeper, 


held  in  abeyance  until  this  decision 
was  reached,  the  fine  was  fixed  at 
$50.00. 

This  decision  by  the 
TEMPERANCE  Supreme  Court  leaves 
AMONG  STUDEhfrsno    question    in    the 

matter.  Henceforth 
the  sale  of  liquor  to  students  will  be 
illegal,  and  a  matter  of  decided  risk  to 
the  ssJoon-keeper.  The  law  has  put 
a  powerful  weapon  in  the  hands  of 
the  authorities  in  the  regulation  of  a 
difficult  question.  Whatever  practical 
difficulties  arise,  they  will  rest  largely 
with  the  saloon-keeper,  who  is  bound 
henceforth  to  be  exceedingly  careful 
as  to  whom  he  dispenses  his  wares. 
CH  The  country  has  progressed  far 
enough  in  its  consideration  of  the  tem- 
perance problem  to  ensure  a  general 
recognition  of  the  fact  that  the  Uni- 
versity and  the  community  will  be  bet- 
ter for  this  decision,  enervation  of 
the  situation  for  a  period  of  years 
leads  to  the  conviction  that  the  stand- 
ard of  student  morals  is  improving. 
Varsity  athletes,  over  thirty  in  number, 
at  a  mass  meeting  held  December  2, 
in  Waterman  Gymnasium  took  a  stand 
as  a  body  for  tempenmce  and  clean 
living  among  students.  CL  This  action 
is  one  sure  to  arouse  widespread  in- 
terest. Not  because  Varsity  athletes 
are  supposed  to  be  indifferent  to  the 
best  ideals  of  student  life  and  conduct, 
but  because  they  realized  the  respon- 
sibility resting  with  them  as  leaders  of 
student  opinion.  CL  To  quote  the  re- 
port of  the  Daily  of  this  meeting. 

The  prevailing  sentiment  at  last  ni^t's 
meeting  seemed  tp  be  that,  while  conditions 
at  Michigan  are  no  worse  than  at  any  other 
university,  an  impression  has  been  spread 
about  the  state  that  should  be  corrected. 
Dissipation  after  football  games,  betting  on 
athletic  contests,  the  use  of  profanity  by 
members  of  the  Varsity  teams,  and  the  in- 
discriminate use  of  cigarettes  at  athletic 
smokers,  are  cfhief  among  the  evils  which 
the  athletes  wish  to  correct.  Every  man 
present  at  the  meeting  seemed  to  be  most 
heartily  in  favor  of  any  action  that  would 
best  aid  in  the  correction  of  these  evils,

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[January; 


and  the  committee  was  appointed  in  order 
that  the  aid  of  the  Campus  societies  might 
be  secured.  The  committee  is  made  up  of 
the  following  men:  Carroll  B.  Haff,  '15/; 
Raymond  E.  Flynn,  '17;  Howard  A.  Don- 
nelly, '17;  and  tewis  C.  Reimann,  '17/. 

CH  As  a  matter  of  fact,  conditions  at 
Michigan  are  conceded  to  be  much 
above  the  average.  The  reason  for 
this  is  not  far  to  seek.  Several  years 
ago  the  fraternities,  in  the  interest  of 
good  scholarship,  united  in  an  attempt 
to  suppress  the  drink  evil.  Rules  were 
adopted  prohibiting  the  use  of  intox- 
icants in  fraternity  houses,  and  fresh- 
men were  forbidden  to  frequent  sa- 
loons. A  no-treat  rule  was  also  pass- 
ed. Besides  the  reforms  accomplish- 
ed by  the  fraternities,  the  student  body 
has  been  signally  benefitted  by  the 
good  offices  of  the  University  Health 
Service  in  throwing  light  upon  the  in- 
evitable penalties  that  follow  in  the 
wake  of  evil  practices.  This  has 
meant  the  stamping  out  of  the  social 
evil  and  consequent  gain  in  physical 
and  moral  efficiency.  It  is  also  esti- 
mated that  as  a  result  of  these  sane 
endeavors  in  the  interest  of  physical 
and  moral  health,  the  drink  habit 
among  students  has  decreased  twenty- 
five  per  cent  annually  during  the  past 
tliree  or  four  years.  Dr.  Howard  H. 
Cummings,  head  of  the  University 
Health  Service,  declares  that  he  does 
not  believe  that  there  is  any  other 
community  in  the  world,  with  a  popu- 
lation including  an  equal  number  of 
young  men,  that  can  present  a  cleaner 
bill  of  health,  morally  and  physically, 
than  can  the  University  of  Michigan. 


Lewis    C.    Reimann, 
AS  VIEWED  BY    '17I,  member  of  the 
AN  ATHLETE      football  team,  pointed 
out,  in  a  recent  com- 
munication  to   The  Michigan  Daily, 
that  the  public  receives  its  false  im- 
pression of  student  life  on  the  occas- 
ions of   football    celebrations,    when 
thousands  of  visitors  throng  the  streets 
of  Ann  Arbor  and  assume  the  license 


which  a  "day  away  from  home''  al- 
ways appears  to  inspire  in  the  irre- 
sponsible. Moreover,  there  is  also  an 
irresponsible  town  element  to  contrib- 
ute its  full  share  to  the  wrong  kind  of 
demonstration  on  these  occasions.  Stu- 
dents have  a  part  in  it  all,  but  a  much 
smaller  part  than  the  casual  observer 
can  have  any  means  of  determining. 
CH  It  is  because  a  few  reckless  mem- 
bers of  the  student  body  make  it  im- 
possible for  the  University  to  disclaim 
any  responsibility  for  instances  of  dis- 
orderly conduct,  that  Campus  leaders 
have  publicly  denounced  drinking  and 
carousing.  "The  real  Michigan  spir- 
it," says  Mr.  Reimann,  "is  5ie  spirit 
of  sacrifice  for  the  University.  It 
means  that  we  should  give  our  sup- 
port to  any  movement  or  practice  that 
has  as  its  purpose  the  general  moral, 
athletic,  and  academic  uplift.  Any 
practice  that  dissipates  our  energies 
and  lowers  our  efficiency  can  mean  on- 
ly one  thing — a  lower  standard  of 
school  work  and  athletics.  CH  Besides 
drinking,  to  quote  the  University 
Press  Bulletin,  the  athletes  also  con- 
demn profanity,  betting  and  the  use  of 
cigarettes  at  student  gatherings.  They 
propose  that  the  need  of  specific  re- 
forms be  brought  to  the  attention  of 
all  Campus  organizations  for  their  en- 
dorsement. As  one  of  the  Varsity  cap- 
tains expressed  it,  "This  is  not  a  Y.  M. 
C.  A.  matter,  but  a  matter  of  common 
sense."  It  is  this  wholesome  spirit 
that  should  free  Michigan  student  life 
of  irresponsible  conduct,  as  well  as 
those  occasional  abuses  that  enable  an 
individual  or  a  small  group  of  indi- 
viduals to  bring  discredit  upon  the 
student  body  as  a  whole. 


Harvard's   failure  to 
OUR  RELATIONS  give  Michigan  a  place 
WITH  HARVARD  on  her  schedule  next

stood  in  all  fairness  to  the  Harvard 
athletic  authorities  that  there  never 
was  any  understanding  regarding  a 
second  game.  An  official  statement 
made  by  Mr.  Fred  W.  Moore,  Gradu- 
ate Treasurer  of  the  Harvard  Athletic 
Association,  published  in  the  Boston 
Herald  Decemfber  19,  gives  the  reason 
for  Harvard's  action  as  well  as  the 
correspondence  in  full,  since  it  was 
felt  that  there  had  been  a  certain 
amount  of  misapprehension  regarding 
Harvard's  position.  Mr.  Moore  show- 
ed that  in  all  the  correspondence  con- 
cerning the  scheduling  of  the  first  date 
with  Harvard  there  was  no  mention 
of  a  second  game  except  in  one  letter 
dated  January  5,  1914,  in  which  Mr. 
Bartelme  stated  that  he  was  personal- 
ly opposed  to  the  games  because  of  the 
principle  maintained  at  Michigan  for 
years  of  not  accepting  a  game  from 
any  college  without  an  assurance  of 
a  return  game  at  Ann  Arbor.  Mr. 
Bartelme  stated  also  in  this  letter  that 
he  well  knew  that  it  was  out  of  the 
question  to  expect  this  at  that  time, 
but  he  hoped  Harvard  would  find  it 
possible  and  agreeable  to  consider 
playing  Michigan  on  her  home  ground 
at  some  future  time.  CH  Nor  was  any 
mention  made  of  a  second  contest  at 
the  time  of  the  game.  The  first  time 
the  subject  came  up  was  in  a  personal 
interview  in  Boston,  Nov.  23,  1914,  be- 
tween Mr.  Moore  and  Mr.  Bartelme 
when  Mr.  Bartelme  asked  whether  a 
return  game  at  Ann  Arbor  would  be 
possible,  not  necessarily  next  fall,  but 
perhaps  the  year  after.  Mr.  Moore 
stated  that  while  he  personally  would 
like  to  see  a  Harvard  team  go  to  Ann 
Arbor  if  such  a  game  would  fit  in  with 
the  plans  of  Harvard's  coaches  for  the 
gradual  development  of  a  team,  he  had 
little  hope  that  the  faculty  would  au- 
thorize it.  Nothing  was  done,  even 
tentatively,  about  arranging  a  game 
next  fall,  and  in  Mr.  Moore's  words, 
"The  impression  I  got  from  him  was 
that  Michigan's  willingness  to  play 
here  (Cambridge)  would  probably  de- 


pend very  largely  on  the  possibility  of 
our  coming  West  the  following  year." 
(H  After  the  meeting  of  Harvard's 
advisory  committee,  Mr.  Moore  wired 
as  follows: 

"Apparently  no  possibility  of  Western 
trip  this  year  or  next  Coaches  also  Vhink, 
because  of  green  material  next  fall,  mid- 
season  game  with  team  so  physically  power- 
ful as  yours  unwise.  Personally  disagree 
and  regret  decision  but  game  seems  impos- 
sible next  year." 

Q  In  a  return  telegram,  Mr.  Bartelme 
expressed  his  surprise  and  disappoint- 
ment at  Harvard's  decision,  and  asked 
what  reasons  might  be  assigned  for 
the  action,  to  which  Mr.  Moore  replied 
that  the  decision  was  final  and  that 
he  supposed,  from  the  previous 
conference  between  them,  that  Har- 
vard's inability  to  consider  a  return 
game  would  in  any  event  make  a  game 
next  fall  undesirable  from  Michigan's 
standpoint.  CD^  Upon  being  informed 
of  this  interview  Mr.  Bartdme  wrote 
to  Mr.  Moore  on  December  21,  say- 
ing that  the  statement  as  given  out 
was  "absolutely  correct  in  every  de- 
tail." He  also  assured  Mr.  Moore  that 
he  had  not  given  out  one  word  in  the 
way  of  an  interview  despite  state- 
ments to  the  contrary  in  the  press. 
This  courteous  and  reasonable  state- 
ment of  the  relations  between  the  two 
Universities  seems  to  put  a  somewhat 
different  face  on  the  whole  question 
at  issue. 


LES  AFFAIRES 


Considering  the  re- 
sult of  this  corres- 
pondence with  due 
philosophy,  we  must 
acknowledge  a  proper  resignation,  if 
not,  even,  a  certain  satisfaction,  in  the 
failure  to  arrange  for  this  game.  This 
does  not  prevent  our  fair  and  square 
recognition  of  the  fact  that  if  the 
game  had  been  arranged  we  might 
have  been  quite  ready  to  see  principles 
go  by  the  board  for  once,  or,  in  this 
case,  twice,  in  view  of  the  circumstan- 
ces.    Last  year   Michigan    had    the

weakest  team  in  years,  practically  all 
inexperienced  men.  It  seemed  only  fit- 
ting, therefore,  in  view  of  the  import- 
ance these  contests  between  East  and 
West  have  come  to  assume,  that  Mich- 
igan should  have  the  oportunity  to 
meet  Harvard  at  ^  least  once  with  a 
more  representative  team.  But  after 
all  has  been  said  the  addition  of  a  Har- 
vard game  to  Michigan's  schedule,  is 
on  principle,  asking  too  much  of  the 
team.  The  trip  is  a  long  and  hard  one, 
and  the  apparent  impossibility  of  se- 
curing a  return  game  does  not  com- 
port with  what  we  conceive  to  be  the 
proper  dignity  of  our  own  university. 
From  the  point  of  view  of  good  sports- 
manship we  would  have  liked  at  least 
one  more  *'go"  with  Harvard  but  cer- 
tain very  practical  considerations  have 
conspired  against  us.  As  an  ironical 
corespondent  who  signs  himself  "Bus- 
iness" said  in  a  recent  issue  of  the 
Daily : 

The  ever  increasing  importance  of  victory, 
to  which  the  Harvard  incident  is  an  index, 
is  but  the  logical  outgrowth  of  the  obvious 
trend  of  college  athletics  toward  the  spec- 
tacular. We  find  this  demand  greatest  -where 
the  process  is  farthest  advanced.  If  tfhe 
crowd  is  to  be  amused,  the  crowd  must  pay, 
— and  the  crowd  will  not  pay  for  too  many 
defeats. 

This  talk  of  salaries,  gate  receipts  and 
million  dollar  amphitheatres  that  we  are 
getting  used  to,  in  connection  with  college 
athletics,  can  only  mean  that  we  have  ap- 
plied the  methods  and  skill  of  commerce  to 
what  originally  was  a  joyous  sport.  Our 
highly  efficient  Mr.  Bartelme  has  been  told 
by  Harvard's  astute  Mr.  Moore,  that  good 
business  wiU  not  allow  us  the  pleasure  of 
witnessing  a  game  between  the  two  teams 
they  represent.  We  may  well  be  sorry. 
The  pleasure  that  we  might  have  gained 
from  witnessing  such  a  contest  is  great. 
But  we  can  only  compliment  Mr.  Moore 
and  his  employers  for  the  good  judgment 
they  have  shown  in  looking  after  their  own 
interests. 

Ct  In  other  words,  Harvard  is  better 
off  on  her  side  of  the  fence  and  Mich- 
igan on  hers.  That  seems  to  be  the 
situation  in  a  nutshell. 


What  constitutes  a 
BUiLD!NGS,FACUL-university?  The 
TIES  OR  STUDENTSquestion    is    perhaps 

an  academic  one,  but 
there  is  a  certain  delicacy  in  the  point 
which  will  have  interest  for  speculative 
minds.  Nowadays  when  a  state,  or 
a  denomination,  or  a  community,  wish- 
es to  establish  a  place  where  the  de- 
vious paths  of  higher  learning  may  be 
pursued,  it  first  creates  the  setting, 
buildings,  laboratories,  recitation  halls ; 
then  it  brings  together  a  body  of  men 
to  teach,  and  calls  them  deans,  profes- 
sors and  instructors.  Lastly  come  the 
students.  Most  of  us  perhaps  visual- 
ize a  university  by  its  physical  setting, 
the  buildings  and  laboratories;  per- 
haps by  its  officers  and  governing 
body,  accepting  the  most  obvious  as 
the  real  embodiment.  This,  however, 
is  far  from  the  interpretation  of  the 
average  member  of  the  faculty,  who 
perhaps  would  insist,  with  a  certain 
historical  justification,  that  the  facul- 
ties of  the  various  schools  make  the 
university.  CH  But  certain  students 
have  been  heard  of  late  who  insisted 
that  they  who  come  to  learn  constitute 
the  university.  Probably  in  this  day  of 
complex  life,  unknown  in  past  centu- 
ries, all  are  right.  The  student  certain- 
ly has  reason  in  history  for  his  view. 
The  followers  of  Abelard  in  the  Paris 
of  eight  hundred  years  ago,  moving 
from  church-porch  to  cloister  on  the 
left  bank,  were  the  university.  If 
their  teachers  "professed"  successfully 
they  were  listened  to,  however  they 
chose  to  speak.  Otherwise  the  "uni- 
versity" moved  to  other  precincts.  The 
faculty  as  a  distinct  and  ordered  body 
was  a  later  development.  To  consider 
the  university  under  the  guise  of  its 
place  and  buildings  has  least  excuse. 
Has  not  catholic  Louvain,  in  part  at 
least,  moved  to  protestant  Oxford?

EVENT  AND  COMMENT

Acknowledging  that 
CLOTHING  A  the  essence  of  a  uni- 
UNIVERSITY  versity  does  not  lie  in 
its  campus  or  its 
buildings,  there  is  no  one,  however, 
who  will  deny  their  influence.  In  a 
well  ordered  and  dignified  campus 
where  provision  for  the  future  is  con- 
sidered, the  architectural  beauty  of 
each  separate  building  lends  a  charm 
in  the  academic  perspectives,  which  is 
lacking  in  those  universities  where 
buildings  have  been  provided  as  they 
were  necessary.  CH  A  certain  reserve  of 
good  nature,  therefore,  is  a  valuable 
asset  for  Michigan  men  when  the  ques- 
tion of  college  buildings  is  brought  up 
in  any  gathering  of  college  men. 
Friendly  critics  all,  nevertheless  our 
friends  have  a  way  of  expressing  as- 
tonishment at  a  certain  lack  of  im- 
pressiveness  in  our  academic  surround- 
ings. Our  only  defense  is  a  compari- 
son to  Topsy's  development,  and  a 
certain  invidious  satisfaction  in  a  com- 
parison with  institutions  which  have 
sprung  "full  armed,"  with  their  quota 
of  beautiful  and  well  ordered  collegi- 
ate gothic  or  renaissance  halls.  We 
can  point,  too,  to  other  universities  of 
highest  standing  whose  architectural 
garb  lacks  the  dignity  of  any  careful 
plan  of  development,  however  efficient 
the  individual  units  may  be.  CH  True, 
there  are  disadvantages  in  a  scheme 
too  well  considered.  In  the  laboratory 
buildings  of  one  university,  where  Tu- 
dor gothic  is  the  prevailing  style,  only 
ordinary  windows  were  permitted, 
else  the  balance  of  the  scheme  would 
be  impaired.  It  made  little  difference 
whether  the  efficacy  of  the  building  as 
a  laboratory  was  ruined.  How  far 
Michigan  has  freed  itself  from  such  an 
incubus  may  be  judged  from  the  plans 
for  the  new  laboratories  of  the  Natur- 
al Science  Building,  which  in  essen- 
tials is  practically  all  windows.  It  has 
also  been  placed  in  accordance  with  the 
general  scheme  for  the  erection  of 
buildings  which  was  devised  a  few 
years  ago,  and  which,  while  not  offi- 


cially adopted,  has  governed  the  situ- 
ation of  our  most  recent  buildings. 
CH  We  feel,  however,  that  a  more  com- 
prehensive and  far-reaching  scheme  is 
necessary.  Elsewhere,  commissions  of 
the  ablest  architects  in  the  country 
have  considered  the  development  of 
different  universities  for  all  time.  Why 
not  here?  With  a  vision  prophetic 
enough,  and  perhaps  a  bit  of  ruthless 
power,  much  might  be  accomplished 
even  now  for  our  Campus  at  no  ex- 
cessive expense,  and  the  essentials  of 
a  scheme  be  laid  down.  What  we  need 
now  is  a  plan  for  the  future.  Perhaps 
if  we  had  had  one,  the  two  new  dormi- 
tories for  women,  which,  while  not  or- 
ganically part  of  the  University,  should 
certainly  have  entered  into  the 
scheme,  might  have  been  brought  to 
harmonize.  They  are  two  beautiful 
buildings,  and  are  sure  to  be  orna- 
ments to  the  Campus  surroundings, 
but  nevertheless  they  add  two  entire- 
ly new  architectural  notes.  Had  there 
been  something  definite  placed  before 
the  architects  of  these  buildings  as 
the  ideal  of  the  University  for  the  fu- 
ture, the  designers  might  have  been 
very  glad  to  bring  their  conceptions 
into  closer  correspondence  with  it. 


There  is  a  perpetual 
A  VACATION  lack  of  harmony  be- 
READjusTED  tween  the  require- 
ments of  the  Univer- 
sity in  the  matter  of  days  and  hours 
devoted  to  the  imparting  of  knowledge 
to  supposedly  eager  learners,  and  stu- 
dent sentiment  regarding  vacations. 
One  would  think,  sometimes,  that  a 
year  all  vacations  and  a  week  all  end, 
would  be  an  ideal  solution  in  the  minds 
of  many.  But  we  probably  do  them 
injustice.  This  year,  at  any  rate,  the 
dates  of  the  Christmas  vacation  fell 
with  particular  severity  upon  those 
whose  homes  are  at  a  distance. 
Student  sentiment  regarding  the  mat- 
ter was  crystallized  in  the  following

[January 


Council  to  the  President  and  to  the 
Senate  Council: 

'*To  the  President  and  Senate  Council  of 

the  University  of  Michigan. 

"WhereaSf  the  holiday  vacation  is  schcd^ 
uled  to  begin  the  evening  of  December  22, 
and 

"Whereas,  this  date  is  inconvenient  for 
die  student  body,  making  it  difficult,  if  not 
impossible,  for  those  living  at  a  distance  to 
reach  their  homes  in  time  for  Christmas, 
therefore 

"Resolved,  that  we,  the  Student  Council 
of  the  University  of  (Michigan,  in  behalf  o^ 
the  student  body,  respectfully  request  the 
President  and  Senate  Council  that  the  vaca- 
tion begin  the  evening  of  December  18,  and 
end  the  morning  of  January  5.  Signed, 
"Th«  Student  Council." 

(Si.  Accompanying  this  resolution  was 
a  letter  stating  that  the  primary  pur- 
pose of  the  agitation  was  not  to  pro- 
cure a  longer  vacation,  but  to  provide 
a  more  suitable  arrangement  for  stu- 
dents living  at  a  distance  who  would 
not  be  able  to  reach  their  homes  until 
the  night  before  Christmas  or  Christ- 
mas Day.  Under  such  conditions  many 
students  did  not  feel  justified  in  re- 
turning to  their  homes.  Great  dis- 
cussion followed  and  weighty  editori- 
als in  The  Daily.  (D;  At  last  the  Sen- 
ate met,  to  the  effect  that  the  Christ- 
mas vacation  was  set  to  begin  Satur- 
day noon,  December  19,  a  change  of 
one  day  from  December  18.  The  form 
of  the  petition  was  denied,  but  the  sub- 
stance was  granted,  to  the  great  satis- 
faction of  everyone.  Residents  of  the 
fourth  and  fifth  parcel  post  zones  were 
permitted  to  eat  Christmas  pie  with  a 
conscience  intact,  and  with  no  dread  of 
consequences  of  that  most  heinous  of 
all  undergraduate  crimes — a  "bolt"  on 
the  day  before  vacation. 


Similarly    happy    re- 
REINSTATING        sults  were  consequent 
THE  juhaoR  HOP  upon  another  petition 
on  the  part  of  the  stu- 
dent body  to  the  Senate  Council,  which 
was  later  referred  to  the  University 
Senate.    This  was  no  less  than  the  re- 


establishment  of  the  Junior  Hop  in  its 
ancient  glory.  Whatever  were  the 
reasons  for  its  abandonment  two  years 
ago,  and  there  were  charges  of  extrav- 
agance in  costume,  entertainment  and 
dancing  in  the  press  which  perhaps 
justified  the  action,  the  new  Hop  is 
to  be  diflferent.  At  least  it  is  to  be 
conducted  under  diflferent  auspices. 
<!  The  agitation  for  its  reinstatement 
was  undertaken  by  the  junior  class  in 
the  Engineering  Department  at  a  class 
meeting  held  November  19.  A  general 
petition  was  drawn  up,  which  was 
signed  by  twenty-seven  class  presi- 
dents, and  presented  to  the  Senate 
Council  at  a  special  meeting  on  De- 
cember 7.  Embodied  in  this  petition, 
were  the  following  rules  for  the  con- 
duct of  the  Hop : 

1.  The  hop  shall  be  a  dance  given  by  the 
junior  classes  of  the  University  of  Mich- 
igan, Friday  evening,  in  February,  between 
semesters. 

2.  The  management  of  the  hop  s^hall 
rest  in  a  committee  representing  the  junior 
classes. 

3.  The  members  of  the  committee  shall 
be  elected  in  regularly  called  class-meet- 
ings. 

4.  The  dance  shall  be  formal. 

5.  The  price  per  ticket  shall  not  exceed 
$5.00. 

6.  It  s'hall  be  a  democratic  whole-Uni- 
versity function,  which  fact  shall  be  made 
plain  through  class  meetings  and  advertis- 
ing. 

7.  There  s/hall  be  no  booths  or  decora- 
tions, except  such  as  represent  the  Univer- 
sity, or  the  junior  classes. 

8.  The  floor  committee  shall  be  under 
the  orders  of  the  chaperones,  and  shall  be 
directly  responsible  for  the  conduct  of  the 
dancers. 

9.  No  spectators  shall  be  allowed. 

10.  House  parties  shall  commence  not 
earlier  than  Friday  morning,  and  end  not 
later  than  Sunday  afternoon. 

These  rules  are  to  be  considered  as  a 
general  working  plan,  and  subject  to  your 
amendment.  Further  details  as  to  com- 
mittee, music,  "features,"  decorations,  etc., 
rfiall  be  settled  by  the  senate  committee  on 
student  affairs. 

CH  This  petition  was  duly  granted  at  a 
Senate  meeting  held  one  week  later. 
The  decision  will  be  received  with 
satisfaction  by  many  alumni,   whose

memories  of  college  life  center  about 
this  annual  function.  While  The 
A1.UMNUS  does  not  believe  that  the 
criticism  directed  against  the  Hop  of 
the  past  was  to  any  great  extent  jus- 
tified, it  probably  was  true  that  under 
the  old  system  of  management,  the 
Hop  had  become  somewhat  unwieldy 
in  its  organization  and  was  probably 
not  sufficiently  representative  of  the 
student  body.  Whether  the  new  sys- 
tem will  solve  the  question  will  prob- 
ably depend  upon  the  extent  of  the 
support  given  by  the  fraternities  un- 
der the  changed  conditions.  There  is 
surely  a  place  in  undergraduate  life 
for  such  a  traditionally  collegiate 
function. 


Echoes  of  a  discus- 
RIFLE  PRACTICE  sion  which  has  come 
ASAMiNORSPORTDf  late  to  have  a  na- 
tional interest  may  be 
found  in  the  fact  that  nearly  a  hundred 
men  were  present  at  a  meeting  in  Wa- 
terman Gymnasium  called  December  2 
for  the  purpose  of  organizing  a  Michi- 
gan Rifle  Club.  Temporary  officers, 
to  serve  until  the  organization  is  com- 
pleted, were  elected  as  follows :  Harry 
A.  Moul,  eng.  spec,  Philadelphia,  Pa., 
president;  Intra-mural  Director  Floyd 
A.  Rowe,  '08^,  secretary;  H.  T.  Gis- 
bome,  '16,  Montpelier,  Vt,  treasurer; 
and  Ralph  W.  Hussey,  '15,  Princeton, 
m.,  captain.  Director  Rowe  outlined 
the  requirements  that  must  be  fulfilled 
before  the  Michigan  club  could  become 
a  member  of  the  National  Rifle  Asso- 
ciation of  the  United  States.  The 
first  step  was  taken  towards  filling 
these  requirements  when  officers  were 
elected,  and  there  now  remains  the  ne- 
cessity of  securing  a  bondsman  for  the 
organization  and  a  suitable  place  for 
stacking  rifles.  Membership  in  the 
national  association  will  secure  for 
Michigan  marksmen  the  use  of  the 
government  rifle  ranges,  and  in  addi- 
tion, the  government,  upon  petition 
from  the  Governor  of  the  State,  will 


furnish  one  rifle  for  every  five  mem- 
bers of  the  club,  while  for  every  mem- 
ber it  will  supply  120  rounds  of  am- 
munition a  year. 


EVENT  IN  BRIEF 

Dr.  Angell  celebrated  his  86th  birth- 
day on  January  7,  1915.  He  re- 
ceived many  friends  who  congratu- 
lated him  on  his  continued  good 
health. 

The  November  15  issue  of  "Ameri- 
can Lawn  Tennis,"  the  official  organ 
of  the  American  National  Lawn  Ten- 
nis Association,  contained  an  article 
on  lawn  tennis  at  the  University  of 
Michigan,  testifying  to  the  fact  that 
tennis  is  a  sport  that  is  attracting  more 
and  more  attention  at  the  University. 

The  Ann  Arbor  Civic  Association 
tendered  a  dinner  to  the  football  squad 
on  Monday  evening,  December  7,  in 
the  Armory.  Regent  Junius  E.  Beal 
presided  as  toastmaster  at  the  banquet, 
calling  upon  Professor  Filibert  Roth, 
of  the  Forestry  Department;  Profes- 
sor Ralph  W.  Aigler,  of  the  Law  De- 
partment; Captain  Raynsford  and 
Captain-elect  Cochran  for  speeches. 

As  a  departure  in  methods  of  keep- 
ing the  alumni  in  touch  with  the  Uni- 
versity, "Campus  News  Notes,"  pub- 
lished as  one  of  the  regular  University 
Bulletins  under  the  direction  of  the 
Michigan  Union,  was  issued  on  De- 
cember 17.  Edward  W.  Haislip,  '14/, 
of  Kalamazoo,  was  editor  of  the  pub- 
lication. Enough  copies  of  the  book- 
let were  printed  to  provide  one  for 
every  alumnus  and  every  student.  In 
the  booklet  every  branch  of  Campus 
activity  that  might  be  of  interest  to 
the  alumni  is  given  space,  including  a 
resume  of  the  football  season  just  past, 
information  regarding  the  diflFerent  ac- 
tivities of  the  Michigan  Union,  the  Y. 
M.  C.  A.  Campaign,  and  the  Opera  as 
well  as  many  items  of  general  interest.

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[January 


Senator  Robert  M.  La  FoUette,  of 
Wisconsin,  spoke  before  an  audience 
of  3,500  in  Hill  auditorium  on  Mon- 
day evening,  December  7.  The  first 
part  of  the  program  was  taken  up  with 
a  lecture  on  "Hamlet,"  and  later  he 
told  the  "Story  of  Wisconsin." 

In  memory  of  Jane  Owen  Turner, 
'96-'97,  whose  death  occurred  August 
29,  1904,  Mary  M.  Turner,  '92,  of  De- 
troit, has  given  the  sum  of  $300  for  the 
estaUishment  of  a  loan  fund  for  Uni- 
versity women.  The  fund  will  be  ad- 
ministered as  the  Jane  Turner  Loan 
Fund  by  a  committee  consisting  of 
President  Hutchins,  Dean  Myra  B. 
Jordan  and  Miss  Turner.  It  will  be 
available  at  the  opening  of  the  second 
semester  of  the  present  year. 

As  the  sixth  annual  play  of  the  Ora- 
torical Association,  Goldoni's  "A  Cur- 
ious Mishap"  was  presented  on  the  ev- 
enings of  December  4  and  5  in  Uni- 
versity Hall.  Professor  R.  D.  T.  Hol- 
lister,  of  the  Department  of  Oratory, 
acted  as  director  of  the  production. 
Principal  parts  were  taken  by  Walker 
Peddicord,  '14,  '16/;  Frances  L.  Hic- 
kok,  '15,  Louis  Eich,  '12,  instructor  in 
Oratory;  Leslie  W.  Lisle,  14,  '17/; 
Bess  Baker,  '15;  Ethyl  M.  Fox,  '15; 
and  Earl  A.  Ross,  '15. 

On  December  10,  a  week  before 
starting  on  their  eastern  trip,  the  Glee 
and  Mandolin  Clubs  of  the  University 
gave  a  well  attended  concert  in  Hill 
Auditorium.  The  feature  of  the  pro- 
gram was  the  appearance  of  Durward 
Grinstead,  '14,  *i6l,  of  Louisville,  Ky., 
and  Harold  L.  Nutting,  '13,  '15/,  Mc- 
Connelsville,  Ohio,  in  a  skit  entitled 
"When  Salome  Danced  before  the 
King."  "That  Michigan  Band,"  the 
marching  song  recently  composed  by 
Charles  D.  Kountz,  '02/,  sung  by  the 
Glee  Club,  was  received  with  interest. 
All  royalties  derived  from  the  sale  of 
the  song  will  be  turned  over  to  the 
Band  by  Mr.  Kountz. 


A  number  of  improvements  have 
been  made  within  the  last  few  months 
at  the  University  Hospital.  The  Phar- 
macy has  been  moved  into  new  and 
spacious  quarters  in  the  Surgical 
Building,  the  old  quarters  having  been 
long  since  outgrown.  In  the  Medical 
Ward  the  laboratories  have  been  re- 
modeled and  equipped  with  the  most 
modem  apparatus,  while  a  new  system 
of  lockers  has  been  instituted  for  stu- 
dents working  in  the  Hospital. 

Forty-one  members  of  the  Glee  and 
Mandolin  Clubs  of  the  University 
were  taken  on  the  annual  trip  during 
the  Christmas  vacation.  Concerts 
were  given  in  Toledo,  Ohio,  on  De- 
cember 19;  Cincinnati,  December  21; 
Youngstown,  Ohio,  December  22 ;  and 
in  Rochester,  N.  Y.,  on  December  23. 
At  Rochester  the  clubs  disbanded  until 
January  2,  when  they  gave  a  joint  con- 
cert with  the  Harvard  Glee  Cliib  at  the 
Hotel  Pontchartrain  in  Detroit.  Pro- 
fessor J.  A.  C.  Hildner,  of  the  German 
Department,  accompanied  the  clubs  as 
faculty  representative. 

A  Campus  Fire  Department  has 
been  recently  organized  to  co-operate 
with  the  Ann  Arbor  fire  department  in 
case  of  fire  on  the  Campus.  It  is  made 
up  of  employes  of  the  University, 
chiefly  from  the  Buildings  and 
Grounds  Department.  The  chief  of 
the  department  is  the  Superintendent 
of  Buildings  and  Grounds,  and  under 
him  are  five  captains  and  ten  vice-cap- 
tains. Fire  drills  are  held  from  time 
to  time  without  notice  to  the  employes. 
The  fire  alarm  is  sounded  by  long 
blasts  of  the  siren  in  the  Power  House, 
the  location  of  the  fire  being  signaled 
by  the  blasts  of  the  whistle.  A  salvage 
squad  has  been  formed,  in  addition  to 
the  firemen,  whose  duty  it  is  to  re- 
move from  the  burning  building  such 
articles  as  would  be  damaged  by  fire 
and  water.  Their  first  duty,  however, 
is  to  remove  from  the  building  all  ex- 
plosives such  as  ether  and  gasoline.

EVENT  IN  BRIEF 


i8i 


Preparations  for  the  meeting  of  the 
Newspaper  Institute,  composed  of  all 
newspaper  men  in  the  State  of  Wash- 
ington, which  is  to  be  held  in  a  short 
time  at  Seattle,  are  in  the  entire  charge 
of  two  Michigan  graduates,  Francis 
G.  Kane,  '08,  and  Lee  A  White,  '10, 
A.M.  '11,  who  are  connected  with  the 
Department  of  Journalism  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  Washington.  The  holding 
of  such  a  meeting  is  a  comparatively 
new  idea  in  journalism,  and  its  results 
will  be  closely  watched  by  members  of 
the  Rhetoric  Faculty  of  the  University 
who  are  interested  in  the  work. 

At  their  December  meeting,  the  Re- 
gents of  the  University  were  informed 
by  the  Librarian  of  the  University 
that  the  Library  had  received  a  valua- 
ble gift  from  the  American  Bible  So- 
ciety, consisting  of  105  volumes  rep- 
resenting translations  of  the  complete 
Bible  or  parts  thereof  intd  eighfy-thfee 
different  languages.  Of  four  of  these 
languages  the  University  has  hitherto 
had  no  specimens  ip  the  Library. 
Many  of  them  will  be  of  use  to  for- 
eign students  to  whonj  these  languages 
are  native  tongues.  Others  will  be  of 
special  value  to  the  professors  in  lin- 
guistics and  comparative  philology. 
Professor  Meader  was  especially  glad 
to  obtain  specimens  of  certain  West 
African  dialects,  while  Professor  San- 
ders was  pleased  to  have  specimens  of 
Syriac. 

During  the  coming  season,  the  Dra- 
ma League  of  Ann  Arbor  is  planning 
to  bring  to  the  city  three  plays  of  na- 
tional repute.  One  of  these  will  be 
"The  Yellow  Jacket,"  a  play  given  in 
the  Chinese  style  with  unique  and 
elaborate  Oriental  settings,  which  has 
met  with  success  wherever  it  has  been 
shown.  While  the  other  plays  have 
not  yet  been  definitely  decided  upon, 
Margaret  Anglin  in  "Lady  Winde- 
mere's  Fan"  will  be  presented  together 
with  Bertha  Kalich  in  a  new  play ;  or 
the  "Misleading  Lady,"  of  which  Paul 


B.  Dickey, 'o2-'o3,  'os-'o6,  is  one  of  the 
authors.  An  active  campaign  to  raise 
the  guarantees  for  these  performan- 
ces has  been  begun  by  the  League, 
and  an  effort  is  being  made  to  in- 
crease the  membership.  After  the 
first  of  the  year  a  series  of  lectures 
will  be  given  under  the  auspices  of  the 
League  on  subjects  dealing  with  dra- 
matics. 

The  program  of  the  Oratorical  As- 
sociation for  1914-15  is  as  follows: 
Professor  T.  C.  Trueblood,  who  ap- 
peared in  "Ingomar,"  October  22 ;  the 
annual  play,  "A  Curious  Mishap," 
which  was  given  December  4  and  5; 
followed  by  Leland  Powers  in  John 
Galsworthy's  "The  Pigeon,"  Decem- 
ber 18 ;  and  the  Peace  Contest,  on  De- 
cember 21.  The  remaining  events  are : 
the  Chicago  vs.  Michigan  Debate — 
"The  Monroe  Doctrine,"  January  15; 
Margaret  Stahl  in  "Every woman," 
February  23;  University  Oratorical 
Contest,  March  2 ;  Debate,  Illinois  vs. 
Michigan,  March  26;  Cup  Debate, 
April  30.  The  annual  election  will  be 
held  on  May  8. 

Before  an  audience  of  3,500,  the 
Mimes  of  the  Michigan  Union  pre- 
sented a  "Spotlight  Vaudeville"  in 
Hill  Auditorium  on  the  evening  of  De- 
cember 16.  The  program  consisted  of 
six  feature  acts  which  had  never  be- 
fore been  presented  in  a  Campus  en- 
tertainment, including  a  playlet,  "Hy- 
acinth," written  for  the  occasion  by 
Leon  M.  Cunningham,  '16,  of  Bay 
City.  The  bill  also  contained  an  act 
by  George  M.  Moritz,  '15,  of  Chicago, 
and  Chase  B.  Sikes,  '16^,  Wayne,  en- 
titled "A  Lamp,  A  Maid,  A  Man" ;  a 
musical  act,  a  monologue,  a  chalk  talk 
featuring  Campus  celebrities  and  a 
dancing  act.  Music  was  furnished  by 
a  twelve  piece  orchestra.  Louis  K. 
Friedman,  '15,  of  Pittsburgh,  Pa.  pres- 
ident of  the  Comedy  Club,  was  chair- 
man of  the  committee  in  charge  of  the 
production.

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[January 


On  the  evening  of  November  30, 
Dr.  Reuben  Peterson,  of  the  Universi- 
ty Hospital  staff,  spoke  before  more 
than  fifty  health  service  representa- 
tives from  the  various  fraternities,  sor- 
orities and  house  clubs  on  the  subject 
"Contagious  Diseases  and  Their  Re- 
lation to  Fraternity  Houses."  In  the 
course  of  his  lecture  Dr.  Peterson 
traced  briefly  the  advance  in  the  use 
of  asepsis  and  antisepsis  in  surgery, 
and  applied  these  principles  to  com- 
mon use  in  the  treatment  of  diseases 
of  a  contagious  nature.  He  then  gave 
instances  of  how  contagion  had  spread 
in  the  past  by  carelessness  in  coming 
in  contact  with  infected  persons,  and 
advocated  more  sanitary  measures  in 
the  various  groups,  the  use  of  a  com- 
mon napkin  coming  in  for  especial 
criticism. 


Mr.  Frank  F.  Reed,  '80,  and  Mr. 
John  M.  Zane,  '84,  of  the  Chicago  bar, 
have  presented  to  the  Department  of 
Law  a  collection  of  etchings  and  en- 
gravings of  prominent  jurists  of  this 
country  and  England.  The  collection 
includes  portraits  of  the  following 
men :  Chief  Justice  White,  Alexander 
Hamilton,  James  Kent,  Chief  Justice 
Taney,  Daniel  Webster,  Thomas  Jef- 
ferson, Abraham  Lincoln,  Sir  William 
Blackstone,  Lord  CoUeridge,  Lord 
Ashburton,  Edmund  Burke,  Lord 
Campbell,  Sir  Edward  Coke,  Lord 
Brougham  and  Lord  EUenborough. 
They  have  been  framed  and  are  hang- 
ing in  the  lecture  rooms  of  the  Law 
Building.  Both  Mr.  Reed  and  Mr. 
Zane  are  non-resident  lecturers  of  the 
Law  Department.

GROWTH  IN  ATTENDANCE 


183 


THE  GROWTH  IN  ATTENDANCE  AT  THE  UNIVERSITY 

The  increase  in  attendance  at  the  University  of  Michigan  is  shown 
graphically  in  the  two  following  diagrams.  These  emphasize  particularly 
the  remarkable  increase  in  attendance  of  the  last  ten  years,  during  which 
the  registration  has  increased  almost  50  per  cent,  or  from  4136  to  6500  (est). 

There  are  a  number  of  interesting  studies  of  cause  and  effect  which 
might  be  worked  out  from  the  various  yearly  fluctuations  which  these  dia- 
grams show.  A  marked  increase  in  attendance  as  the  result  of  a  return  to 
normal  conditions  in  the  period  following  the  war  is  shown  in  the  curve 
from  '66  to  '68,  with  a  succeeding  falling-off  the  following  three  years.  A 
gradually  increasing  enrolment  up  to  1872  was  sharply  interrupted  during 
the  great  panic  of  the  following  year. 

The  sudden  falling-off  in  '85  and  the  following  years  was  probably  the 
result  of  the  addition  of  a  third  year  to  the  Medical  course,  which  went 
into  effect  in  1888,  and  the  lengthening  of  the  term  by  the  Law  School  in

1885.  Again,  the  addition  of  a  fourth  year  to  the  Medical  course  in  1890 
and  a  third  year  in  the  Law  School  in  1895  is  shown  in  the  curve  for  the 
years  immediately  preceding.  The  falling  off  in  191 1  is  possibly  due  to  the 
increased  requirements  in  the  Medical  Department.  There  has  also  been  a 
decided  falling-off  in  the  Law  Department  for  the  past  two  years  for  a  sim- 
ilar cause,  but  the  general  increase  in  the  other  departments  has  been  so 
marked  that  there  is  no  decided  effect  in  the  curve. 

The  growth  of  the  Summer  School,  shown  in  the  accompan3ring  curve, 
is  also  of  interest.  The  fluctuations  since  it  was  established  in  1892  are  on 
the  whole  more  marked  than  in  the  curve  for  general  enrolment,  but  the 
tendency  has  been  decidedly  upward,  with  only  one  period  of  positive  de- 
cline during  1910  and  1912.  The  immediate  reasons  for  these  changes  are 
more  difficult  to  ascertain,  though  the  recent  reorganization  of  the  Summer 
School  and  enrolling  the  students  in  all  departments  under  the  one  Summer 
School  administration  is  shown  plainly  in  the  sharp  upward  curve  of  the 
last  three  years. 

It  is  of  interest  to  note  that  the  attendance  at  the  University  has  quad- 
rupled since  1888,  tripled  since  1890,  and  doubled  since  1899-1900, — or  in 
just  fifteen  years. 


A  CAMPAIGN  FOR  BETTER  GYMNASIUM  FACILITIES 

To  many  alumni  who  remember  the  days  before  a  gymnasium  was 
considered  a  necessary  part  of  academic  equipment,  the  present  agitation 
on  the  part  of  the  students  through  The  Daily  and  a  series  of  petitions  to  the 
Regents  for  an  increase  in  the  size  and  equipment  of  Waterman  Gymnasium, 
will   perhaps   be   a   surprise.      Perhaps   the   inadequacy   of    the   present

I9IS]  BETTER  GYMNASIUM  FACIUTIES  185 

quarters  will  be  an  even  greater  shock  to  the  alumni  of  not  so  many  years 
back  who  remember  how  more  than  adequate  Waterman  Gymnasium  seemed 
in  the  first  years  of  its  usefubiess.  As  is  true  in  almost  every  branch  of 
the  University's  activities,  the  whole  question  is  brought  about  and  condi- 
tioned by  the  fact  that  the  number  of  students  has  more  than  doubled  in 
fifteen  years. 

Naturally  a  gymnasium  which  was  adequate  then  can  hardly  be  so 
under  the  new  conditions.  The  enormous  freshman  gym  classes  this  winter, 
200  at  a  time,  the  many  class  teams,  the  different  tournaments  and  clubs  for 
minor  indoor  sports,  to  say  nothing  of  the  Varsity  athletes  at  work,  bring 
about  a  congestion  which  is  a  handicap  upon  physical  training  and  athletics 
at  the  University. 

Basketball,  the  chief  indoor  class  sport,  is  now  restricted  to  night  prac- 
tice. On  the  four  evenings  of  the  week  when  there  are  no  freshman  gymna- 
sium classes,  the  class  athletes  are  allowed  to  use  the  main  floor,  but  there 
are  so  many  basketball  teams  that  each  one  is  given  but  two  twenty  minute 
periods  a  week  for  practice.  The  same  unsatisfactory  accommodations  are 
found  for  the  minor  sports.  Wrestling  and  fencing  are  restricted  to  the 
small  rooms,  each  group  having  three  days  a  week  available.  The  room  de- 
voted to  boxing  is  probably  the  most  in  use  of  any  of  this  class  of  sports, 
although  at  all  available  hours  the  handball  courts  are  sure  to  be  over- 
crowded. 

Indoor  track  sports  are  also  seriously  hampered,  the  gymnasium  classes 
restricting  the  use  of  the  field  men  in  training  to  a  few  hours  in  the  late  after- 
noon. This  inability  of  the  track  men  to  obtain  sufficient  early  practice 
is  perhaps  more  serious  than  the  inconvenience  arising  from  the  fact  that 
the  distance  for  both  dashes  and  longer  runs  is  shorter  than  in  most  of  the 
gymnasiums  in  which  the  men  compete  elsewhere.  The  space  available 
for  dashes  is  only  thirty-five  yards,  with  forty  yards  for  the  hurdles,  an 
average  of  ten  yards  shorter  than  in  many  other  gymnasiums.  The  run- 
ning track  is  also  a  fourteen  lap  course,  as  against  the  ten  and  twelve  yard 
indoor  ovals  of  Michigan's  principal  rivals. 

The  lack  of  practicable  exits  for  a  large  crowd  has  necessitated  the  limit- 
ation of  spectators  at  indoor  track  meets  to  500,  and  interest  in  indoor  track 
work  has  therefore  declined  correspondingly. 

Even  more  serious,  perhaps,  is  the  crowded  condition  and  inadequate 
bathing  facilities  provided  for  the  hundreds  of  students  who  use  the  gym- 
nasium. As  was  pointed  out  by  The  Daily,  there  are  only  twenty-four  show- 
er baths,  most  of  which  have  seen  service  for  the  two  decades  since  the 
gymnasium  was  erected.  At  that  time  they  were  probably  able  to  accommo- 
date the  students  using  the  gymnasium.  Now  they  are  absolutely  inadequate 
for  the  1,950  lockers,  to  say  nothing  of  their  insanitary  condition.  In  many 
of  the  freshman  classes  students  are  forced  to  leave  the  gymnasium  without 
bathing,  owing  to  the  late  hour  at  which  some  of  the  classes  are  dismissed. 

The  remedy  is  either  an  addition  to  the  present  building  or  an  entirely 
new  gymnasiimi.    There  seems  no  possible  relief  in  the  present  building,

^  as  practically  every  inch  of  space  is  used.    The  remedy  suggested  last  year 

j  by  the  Athletic  Board  in  Control  is  the  enlargement  of  the  gymnasium  itself. 

,  The  Daily,  in  an  article  on  the  general  situation,  suggests  the  extension  of  the 

!  main  floor  fifty  feet  on  both  the  west  and  east  ends,  carrying  the  structure  on 

the  south  even  with  the  director's  office.    This  would  give  convenient  room 

for  basketball  courts  on  the  main  floor,  a  better  track  on  the  balcony,  athletic 

offices  on  the  first  floor  and  better  accommodations  on  the  second  floor  for 

boxing,  wrestling  and  fencing.     It  would  also  provide  for  much  needed 

bathing  and  locker  facilities  in  the  basement. 

In  support  of  the  argument  for  increased  facilities  for  athletic  training. 
Dr.  Vaughan,  in  a  statement  quoted  in  The  Daily,  expressed  his  disapproval 
ol  the  present  day  methods  of  athletic  training,  and  advocated  a  system 
which  would  give  to  every  student  in  the  University  a  r^^lar  prescribed 
course  of .  outdoor  training  throughout  the  year.  He  believes  that  the 
present  day  system  of  college  gymnasiums  is  wrong.  "In  this  University 
each  student  pays  a  fee  of  five  dollars  for  athletic  training,  and  it  is  pre- 
cisely the  average  student,  the  one  who  should  be  reached,  who  does  not 
derive  much  benefit  from  his  fee."  Dr.  Vaughan  therefore  believes  that 
there  should  be  regular  courses  in  outdoor  athletics  in  which  credit  should 
be  given  towards  graduation  in  the  same  way  that  it  is  given  for  mathematics 
or  languages.  Included  in  this  perhaps  would  be  walking,  running,  boxing, 
swimming,  following  an  examination  into  what  each  student  needs.  There  is 
not  a  time  of  the  year  when  some  sort  of  athletics  would  not  be  possible, 
no  matter  whether  it  stormed  or  not. 

As  the  principal  means  to  the  ultimate  accomplishment  of  this  propa- 
ganda of  outdoor  athletics  the  year  round,  Dr.  Vaughan  suggested  the  erec- 
tion of  a  large  building  which  he  termed  a  "barracks"  on  Ferry  Field,  which 
should  contain  lockers,  shower  baths  and  a  swimming  pool.  Such  a  building, 
which  would  be  comparatively  inexpensive,  would  act  as  a  center  for  these 
outdoor  sports. 
f  As  the  result  of  the  agitation  for  better  gymnasium  facilities,  the  fol- 
'  lowing  petition,  signed  by  over  a  thousand  students,  was  presented  to  the 
Regents  at  their  last  meeting : 

'  "To  the  Board  of  Regents  of  the  University  of  Michigan : 

We,  the  undersigned  students  of  the  University  of  Michigan,  most  respectfully 
petition  yoa  to  take  steps  to  procure  increased  gymnasium  facilities." 

This  petition  was  also  signed  by  practically  all  of  the  undergraduate 
Campus  societies.  A  similar  resolution  was  passed  by  the  Directors  of  the 
"M"  Club.  The  matter  was  presented  to  the  Regents  at  their  December 
meeting.  They  referred  the  whole  question  to  the  Buildings  and  Grounds 
Committee  for  investigation  and  report. 

THE  PRESENT  ENROLMENT  IN  AMERICAN  UNIVERSITIES 

Although  the  effects  of  the  war  and  the  financial  stringency  particu- 
larly noticeable  during  the  past  month  might  be  supposed  to  have  an  ad- 
verse effect  upon  attendance  at  American  universities,  the  reverse  has  been

true.  A  general  resume  of  the  early  registration  in  a  large  number  of  leading 
universities  by  Henry  T.  Claus,  published  in  The  Boston  Transcript  for 
November  11,  shows  an  increased  attendance  in  most  American  universi- 
ties. In  part  he  ascribes  this  to  the  fact  that  many  students  who  would 
have  normally  gone  to  Europe  for  training  have  enrolled  this  year  in  Amer- 
ican universities  and  colleges.  Particularly  is  this  true  of  the  graduate 
schools  of  our  higher  institutions,  where  men  who  had  planned  to  obtain  a 
professional  education  abroad  have  perforce  registered  in  large  numbers  in 
American  schools.  Likewise,  many  Amercians  who  had  already  spent  a 
year  in  Paris  or  Berlin  have  returned  to  complete  their  work  at  home. 
There  is  also  a  certain  percentage  of  European  students,  probably 
not  large,  however,  who  have  come  to  America  as  the  only  great  center 
of  higher  education  where  they  might  pursue  their  work  in  peace.  Dis- 
cussing certain  factors  shown  by  the  comparison  of  the  figures  for  the  past 
two  years,  Mr.  Claus  says: 

Of  more  than  sixty  representative  American  universities  and  colleges,  only  nine 
show  a  smaller  enrolment  for  1914-15  than  for  1913-14.  And  in  nearly  every  icistancc 
there  is  some  substantial  reason  for  the  decrease.  At  least  two  other  interesting  de- 
ductions may  be  drawn  from  the  reports  returned  by  the  various  institutions.  It  is 
apparent,  for  example,  tfcat  the  requirements  for  admission  to  the  professional  schools 
are  gradually  becoming  standardized  and  that,  as  far  as  the  undlergradute  college  is 
concerned,  were  steadily,  even  rapidly,  moving  toward  an  equalization  of  educational 
opportunities.  With  the  opening  of  this  year  half  a  dozen  universities — mostly  located 
in  the  West — have  put  their  law  or  medical  schools  on  a  higher  plane.  Hereafter 
they  will  demand  at  least  one  year  of  college  work  as  a  prerequisite  for  entrance  to 
the  professional  departments.  How  far  the  ruling  of  the  American  Medical  Associa- 
tion has  been  a  factor  in  this  academic  development  is  not  indicated,  but  it  is  a  fact 
that  the  society's  refusal  to  recognize  as  first-class  schools  those  which  were  on  the 
^ame  admission  level  with  the  undergraduate  college  has  in  the  past  few  years  stirred 
many  colleges  to  immediate  action.  It  oug^t  to  be  said,  liowcver,  that  the  general 
tendency  is  in  the  direction  of  putting  all  strictly  professional  or  vocational  schools  05 
a  graduate  basis.  Eventually  all  of  our  leading  universities  would  have  voluntarily 
taken  this  step.    Pressure  by  outside  agencies  has  only  hastened  the  procedure. 

The  other  conspicuous  development  in  higher  learning  is  quite  as  much  economic 
as  educational.  Comparatively  speaking,  the  college  is  still  for  the  few  but  not  to  the 
extent  that  was  true  a  decade  ago.  There  seems  to  be  a  greater  and  greater  apprecia- 
tion of  the  fact  that  the  ability  to  pass  a  stiff  examination  in  certain  rigidly  fixed  high 
school  subjects  does  not  necessarily  label  a  man  as  fitted  for  college.  The  conviction  is 
growing  that  it  is  possible  to  do  constructive  thinking  in  shop-work  as  well  as  in  Latin 
or  in  geometry.  Tliat  this  conviction  has  been  so  late  in  coming  is  due  largely  to  a  fear 
of  decreasing  the  standards  of  admission  to  college.  Just  as  soon  as  it  was  discovered 
that  the  process  was  a  broadening  and  not  a  lowering  one  a  revamping  of  requirements 
was  begun.  Today,  nearly  every  college  is  wrestling  with  the  problem  of  opening  its 
doors  wider,  of  giving  the  same  academic  opportunity  to  the  boy  naturally  educated  in 
the  public  high  school  as  to  the  boy  educated  in  the  special  fitting  school. 

Harvard,  Boston  University,  Brown  and  Tufts  are  all  considerably  larger  Aan 
in  1913-14.  Yale's  gain  in  enrolment  is  slight,  but  it's  a  gain  and  the  university  is 
satisfied  Columbia,  counting  the  summer  session,  Barnard  College  and  other  afl&liated 
schools,  bas  passed  the  10,000  mark  and  is  today  the  world''s  largest  university.  Cali- 
fornia, Illinois,  Cornell,  Pennsylvania,  Michigan,  New  York  University  and  Wisconsin 
are  all  rapidly  becoming  goodsized  towns  in  themselves.  The  registration  figures  of  the 
-various  colleges  and  universities  for  this  year  and  last  are  given  below.  Unfortunately 
the  same  ground  is  not  covered  in  all  cases.  Different  institutions  have  different 
methods  of  computing  registration.    The  statistics :

*Not  complete. 


As  is  remarked  above,  the  disparity  in  the  figures  for  certain  univer- 
sities is  due  to  the  different  methods  of  computing  registrations,  as  well 
as  to  the  disproportionately  large  summer  schools  in  some  institutions  such 
as  Columbia  where  the  total  is  increased  enormously  by  the  5,590  enrolled 
in  the  summer  school  last  year.  The  enrolment  in  the  college  at  Colum- 
bia last  year  was  905,  with  677  at  Barnard  College.  Likewise  Califor- 
nia, which  is  showed  to  have  an  extraordinarily  large  number  enrolled, 
includes  the  summer  session,  which  was  attended  by  3,179  students.  Mich- 
igan's summer  session  enrolment  last  year  was  1,549.  Michigan  still  has 
probably  the  largest  number  of  students  upon  the  one  campus  during  the 
academic  year  of  any  university  in  the  country.  Omitting  the  summer  ses- 
sion Michigan  stands  fourth  in  order,  according  to  figures  given  in  Science 
for  December  25,  with  Columbia  (6,752),  Pennsylvania  (5,736),  and  Cali- 
fornia (5,614)  leading.

192  THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS  [January 

A  ONE  PER  CENT  CLUB 

From  the  November  Gothamite  of  the  University  of  Michigan  Club 
of  New  York,  we  reprint  the  following  outline  of  a  plan  which  has  been 
presented  to  the  President  of  the  General  Alumni  Association  with  a 
request  that  it  be  submitted  to  the  Alumni  Advisory  Council  for  con- 
sideration in  the  near  future  and  report  at  the  Annual  Alumni  Meeting  next 
June.  

At  the  annual  meeting  of  the  Club,  a  matter  was  presented  which 
promises  much  for  the  University.  It  concerns  the  formation  of  a  One  Per 
Cent  Club  of  Michigan  men.  The  avowed  purpose  is  to  assist  the  Univer- 
sity, in  a  financial  way,  by  the  creation  of  a  constant  and  cumulative  fund. 
This  is  to  be  accomplished  by  its  members  providing  in  their  wills  that  one 
per  cent,  of  their  estates,  or  an  estimated  equivalent,  shall  go  to  the  Uni- 
versity. The  original  idea  was  conceived  by  Rolla  L.  Bigelow,  '05^,  of  New 
York. 

By  formal  action  at  the  last  meeting  the  officers  of  the  Club  were  di- 
rected to  refer  the  entire  matter,  as  a  suggestion  from  the  University  of 
Michigan  Club  of  New  York,  to  the  President  of  the  General  Altunni 
Association,  with  the  request  that  it  be  brought  to  the  attention  of  the 
Alumni  Advisory  Council  for  its  consideration  and  action.  This  idea 
appears  to  be  fundamentally  sound  and  the  indications  are  that  it  will 
do  much,  not  only  for  Michigan,  but  for  the  sons  of  Michigan. 

The  tentative  plan  of  the  Committee  and  the  resolutions  are  reprinted 
here  in  full : 

Tentative  Plan  to  Develop  a  Permanent  Endowment  for  the 
University  op  Michigan. 

First  :    Form  an  honorary  society,  club  or  association 

Second:    Name  it  "The  One  Percenters." 

Third:  Make  equality  of  opportunity  to  do  for  the  University  the 
central  motive  of  the  club. 

Note:  Create  the  one  place,  the  one  plan,  whereby  a  man  can  do 
in  proportion  to  what  he  has  as  much  toward  the  perpetuation  of  his  ideals 
as  any  other  man  can  do.  Make  the  plan  equally  fair  to  all  so  that  no 
man  shall  gain  in  memory  more  than  another. 

Fourth:  Membership  to  be  restricted  to  matriculates  of  the  Uni- 
versity. 

Fifth:  The  members  to  provide  in  their  wills  that  one  per  cent,  of 
their  estates  shall  go,  at  their  death,  to  the  University  of  Michigan. 

Note:  This  method  gives  to  every  alumnus  of  the  University  the 
chance  to  subscribe  equally  with  every  other  alumnus  towards  creating 
this  endowment. 

Sixth:  Limit  the  amount  any  man  can  give,  through  the  club,  to 
one  per  cent. 

Note:  Whatever  a  man's  means,  he  gives  one  per  cent,  and  no  more. 
Many  men  would  like  to  give  their  one  per  cent,  as  a  token,  not  as  a

1915]  A  ONE  PER  CENT  CLUB  193 

measure  of  the  part  the  University  has  played  in  their  lives.  The  man 
of  small  estate  would  know  that  by  giving  his  one  per  cent.,  his  name 
takes  its  place  upon  the' Roll  of  Honor  beside  that  of  the  man  whose  es- 
tate is  one  hundred  times  as  much. 

Seyenth:  Make  it  a  part  of  the  club  constitution  that  the  amount 
of  any  one  bequest  should  never  be  made  public. 

Note.  Many  Alumni  would  like  to  give  their  one  per  cent,  but  if 
at  the  same  time  they  must  publish  their  financial  condition  to  the  whole 
alumni  list  it  might  mitigate  against  the  idea. 

Eighth:  It  is  suggested  that  the  management  be  vested  in  a  com- 
mittee of  possibly  nine  members. 

Note:  (a)  Three  to  be  selected  from  the  Board  of  Regents,  (b) 
Three  to  be  selected  from  the  Faculty,  (c)  Three  to  be  selected  from 
the  Alumni. 

Ninth  :  The  disposition  and  handling  of  the  funds  can  be  left  to 
the  discretion  of  the  Board  or  it  may  be  specified  in  a  constitution  in  wha/ 
mater  the  funds  are  to  be  used. 

Note:  It  might  be  well,  for  instance,  to  stipulate  at  the  inception 
that  none  of  the  club's  funds  shall  be  used  for  building  or  equipment ;  but 
shall  be  devoted  to  research  work,  particularly  to  the  salaries  of  pro- 
fessors, in  order  that  the  financial  means  might  be  provided  whereby  the  best 
minds  of  the  world  could  pursue,  through  the  University  of  Michigan, 
such  lines  of  effort  as  will  place  our  University  at  the  head  of  the  uni- 
versities of  the  world. 

Tenth  :  The  investment  of  funds  should  be  carefully  guarded  from 
the  beginning. 

Note:  It  is  suggested  that  the  funds  be  invested  only  in  the  direct 
obligations  of  Municipalities  and  States  of  the  United  States,  or  the  United 
States  Government  itself,  and  further,  that  the  obligations  of  such  muni- 
cipalities must  meet  the  legal  requirements  of  the  Savings  Bank  laws  of 
New  York  State;  and  that  all  securities  must  be  bought  directly  from 
the  municipalities  at  public  sales,  and  no  securities  purchased  through 
bankers,  brokers  or  other  agents. 

Eleventh:  It  is  hoped  to  so  frame  this  organization  that  it  will 
appeal  to  every  local  alumnus. 

Note:  While  he  is  alive,  while  his  funds  and  resources  are  in  active 
use,  while  he  is  still  grappling  with  the  uncertainties  of  life,  and  feels  he 
might  be  called  upon  at  any  time  for  the  money  he  might  hesitate  to  give. 
But  when  his  life  is  finished,  and  he  has  no  further  use  for  this  world's 
goods,  he  bequeathes  one  per  cent,  of  his  estate,  and  one  per  cent,  only,  t<> 
the  perpetuation  for  other  men  of  what  was  probably  the  largest  artificial 
factor  in  his  own  existence.  This  is  not  a  measure  of  value,  it  is  simply 
an  expression  of  his  appreciation  of  the  part  the  University  has  played 
in  his  life.  His  natural  heirs  should  have  no  cause  for  complaint.  One 
per  cent,  from  a  bequest  should  not  affect  any  heir.  The  amount  is  too 
small  to  affect  the  estate ;  it  is  too  small  to  affect  any  heir.  It  is  given  at 
a  time  when  the  man  who  has  earned  and  acquired  it  has  no  further  use

for  it.  It  would  have  been  received  by  those  who,  through  their  own  efforts^ 
have  no  claim  upon  it,  and  does  not  deprive  them  of  anything  they  ever 
owned. 

The  following  is  the  resolution  adopted: 

Whereas  the  Committee  appointed  by  the  Board  of  Governors  to  con- 
sider  the  one  per  cent,  plan  recommends  that  the  proposal  for  the  formation, 
of  a  Club,  Society  or  Association  to  be  known  as  the  "One  Percenters,''' 
or  under  some  other  name,  and  composed  of  alumni  who  agree  to  pro- 
vide in  their  wills  that  one  per  cent,  of  their  estates,  or  an  amount  esti- 
mated by  them  to  be  the  equivalent  to  one  per  cent,  of  their  estates,  shall  pass- 
to  the  University  of  Michigan,  be  referred  to  the  Alumni  Advisory  Council 
of  the  General  Alumni  Association  of  the  University,  for  its  consider- 
ation and  action. 

Be  It  Further  Resolved  that  the  Officers  of  the  Club  be  directed 
to  communicate  with  and  refer  the  entire  subject,  as  a  suggestion  from  the 
University  of  Michigan  Club  of  New  York,  to  the  President  of  the  GeneraF 
Alumni  Association  with  the  request  that  it  be  brought  to  the  attention  of 
the  Alumni  Advisory  Council,  for  its  consideration  and  action. 


THE  UNIVERSITY  OF  MICHIGAN  CLUB 

OF  TOLEDO 

A  Toledo  Association  of  the  University  of  Michigan  Alumni  was  or- 
ganized in  Toledo  in  1892  with  Henry  W.  Ashley,  '79,  as  president,  and 
Fordyce  Belford,  '91/,  secretary.  Though  the  records  of  the  old  organ- 
ization have  been  mislaid,  it  appears  that  Dr.  Willard  J.  Stone,  '99,  *oiw^ 
William  Sanger,  '98,  Hon.  U.  Grant  Denman,  '94/^  together  with  the  pres- 
ident and  secretary  named  above  constituted  the  officers  of  the  Association 
up  to  the  present  organization  in  January,  1913.  The  old  organizatior> 
was  active  for  a  number  of  years,  and  did  much  to  stimulate  and  centralize 
the  interest  of  the  Toledo  alumni  in  the  University.  A  number  of  ban- 
quets were  given,  at  one  of  which  the  University  was  represented  by  Pres- 
ident Angell. 

A  reorganization  came  in  January,  1913,  when  the  name,  The  University 
of  Michigan  Club  of  Toledo,  was  adopted.  The  constitution  of  the  re- 
organized club  provided  for  a  membership  of  men  only.  The  present  offi- 
cers and  the  executive  committee  of  the  Club  are  as  follows : 

John  H.  0'Leary,'o5/,  President;  Frank  A.  Kapp,  '10,  First  Vice- 
President ;  Edward  G.  Kirby,  '10/^  Second  Vice-President;  Robert  G.  Young,, 
'08/,  Secretary;  Paul  T.  Gaynor,  '12/,  Treasurer.  Executive  Committee: 
John  H.  OXeary,  '05/;  Frank  A.  Kapp,  '10;  Edward  G.  Kirby,  '10/;  Rob- 
ert G.  Young,  '08/;  Paul  T.  Gaynor,  '12/;  Gustavus  A.  Kir'^hmaier,  'S^p; 
Fordyce  Belford,  '91/;  W.  L.  Rhonehouse,  'loh;  Henry  W.  Hess,  '98,  M.S, 
'99;  Thos.  F.  Heatley,  'iim;  James  F.  Hannon,  '13d. 

The  organization  in  January,  1913,  came  about  as  the  result  of  a  de- 
sire, particularly  on  the  part  of  the  younger  graduates,  for  a  more  active

association.  A  number  of  alumni  conspired,  as  one  of  the  officers  expressed 
it,  to  ''commandeer"  a  meeting  of  undergraduates.  From  this  meeting, 
called  to  order  by  Robert  G.  Young,  '08/,  the  present  organization  dates. 
Henry  W.  Ashley,  '79,  took  the  chair  after  the  meeting  was  called  to  order, 
and  a  discussion  of  the  problems  of  organization  followed,  with  speeches 
from  Henry  W.  Hess,  '98,  M.S.  '99;  Fordyce  Belford,  '91/;  Harry  E.  King, 
'91,  A.  M.  '02,  Ph.  D.  '10;  Frank  A.  Kapp,  '10  and  John  D.  Diggers,  '09. 
It  was  discovered  that  a  strong  sentiment  for  a  live  organization  existed 
and  a  committee  consisting  of  Henry  W.  Ashley,  '79 ;  Frank  L.  MulhoUand, 
'99/;  and  John  P.  Diggers,  '09,  was  appointed  to  provide  a  constitution 
and  by-laws  for  the  new  organization. 

The  second  meeting  was  held  in  due  time,  and  the  University  of 
Michigan  Club  of  Toledo  became  a  reality,  with  the  following  officers: 
Harry  E.  King.  91.  A.M.  '02,  Ph.D.  '10,  President;  John  H.  O'Leary,  '05/, 
Vice-President ;  Henry  W.  Hess,  '98,  M.S.  '99,  Vice-President ;  Edward  G. 
Kirby,  '10/,  Secretary;  Frank  A.  Kapp,  '10,  Treasurer. 

The  annual  dues  were  placed  at  $2.00  for  each  member,  with  a  fiscal 
year  dating  from  March,  191 3.  In  confining  the  membership  of  the  new 
association  to  men,  the  Club  departed  somewhat  from  tradition,  but  fol- 
lowed the  example  of  many  other  associations,  particularly  those  of  the 
larger  cities.

1915]  THE  TOLEDO  ALUMNI  CLUB  197 


ROBERT  G.   YOUNG,  'oSl  PAUL  T.  GAYNOR,  'lal 

Secretary  Treasurer 

In  March,  19 13,  the  first  dinner  of  the  Club  was  held  at  the  Commerce 
Club,  with  about  two  hundred  present.  The  Secretary  of  the  General 
Alumni  Association,  Wilfred  B.  Shaw,  '04,  pointed  out  some  of  the  ad- 
vantages of  organization,  and  indicated  certain  policies  which  might  well 
be  followed  by  the  new  organization.  A  quartet  from  the  Varsity  Glee 
Club  also  aided  greatly  to  revive  the  interest  of  the  Toledo  alumni  in  the 
University.  It  was  from  this  night  that  the  success  of  the  Toledo  Club 
may  be  dated. 

An  immediate  result  of  organization  was  the  establishment  of  noon 
luncheons  every  Wednesday  at  the  Boody  House,  which  were  held  through- 
out the  year.  These  proved  great  centers  of  Michigan  fellowship,  and 
many  times  some  "new"  old  alumnus  would  drop  in  to  pay  hfs  reispects. 
Quite  out  of  the  ordinary  was  the  visit  of  Roberto  G.  Sada,  '08^,  who,  in  the 
role  of  a  refugee  from  Monterey  during  the  Madero  episode  in  Mexico, 
furnished   some   interesting  first-hand   information. 

The  first  banquet  of  the  Association  was  held  in  May,  1914,  at  the 
Hotel  Secor,  with  more  than  two  hundred  attending.  President  Hutchins, 
Dean  Bates,  Dean  Vaughn  and  Dean  Cooley  were  the  representatives  of 
the  University,  and  helped  to  make  the  evening  one  that  Toledo*s  alumni 
will  never  forget.  Judge  E.  Finley  Johnson,  '90/,  of  the  Federal  Court 
of  the  Philippines,  was  included  in  the  program,  as  was  also  U.  S.  Dis- 
trict Attorney  U.  Grant  Denman,  '94/,  and  Reverend  Geo.  E.  Mclllwain,

General    Chairman    of    the    Glee    and    Mandolin     General  Utility  Committeeman  with  a  record  of 
Club  Concert  held  December  19,  19x4  never  missing  a  Michigan  meeting 

*90.  The  Midnight  Sons'  Quartet  from  the  Varsity  Glee  Club  provided 
the  music.  While  acting  as  toastmaster  at  the  banquet,  the  president  of 
the  Association,  Harry  E.  King,  '91,  A.  M.  '02,  Ph.  D.  '10,  delivered  an 
invitation  to  the  Association  to  spend  an  afternoon  with  him  at  his  summer 
home,  "Maple  Grove,"  on  the  Maumee  River.  In  June,  1914,  he  made  his 
invitation  good.  One  afternoon  about  sixty  men  boarded  the  good  launch 
*'Arrawanna"  for  a  memorable  outing  at  his  beautiful  home  on  the  river. 

The  present  year  promises  even  greater  successes  for  the  Association. 
Beginning  this  fall,  the  weekly  Wednesday  luncheons  are  held  at  the  Com- 
merce Club  in  the  Nicholas  Building,  where  from  thirty  to  fifty  men  meet 
every  week.  Occasional  speakers  discuss  current  events.  On  the  day  of 
the  Harvard-Michigan  game,  the  Club  had  luncheon  at  the  Kaiserhof  Cafe, 
where  a  special  wire  gave  the  results  of  the  game.  These  more  or  less 
informal  gatherings  of  the  Toledo  alumni  are  among  the  most  successful 
features  of  the  work  of  the  new  organization. 

The  latest  enterprise  of  the  Toledo  Association  is  the  entertainment 
on  December  19,  of  the  Varsity  Glee  and  Mandolin  Clubs,  which  held  the 
first  concert  of  their  vacation  trip  at  the  Scott  High  School  auditorium. 
The  spirited  enthusiasm  of  the  songs  and  music  of  the  Clubs  carried  the 
audience  with  them,  and  made  the  concert  one  of  the  best  Michigan  even- 
ings that  Toledo  alumni  can  remember.     The  concert  was  followed  by  a

The  efforts  of  those  who  have  helped  to  organize  the  Toledo  Associa- 
tion have  not  been  in  vain.  The  members  have  responded  with  eagerness, 
.and  have  established  a  center  of  Michigan  spirit  and  democracy  which  they 
hope  to  make  effective  in  a  practical  way  through  the  establishment  of  a 
Toledo  Scholarship  Fund.

ATHLETICS 


TRACK  PROSPECTS 

With  the  opening  of  classes  following  the 
Iholiday  vacation,  Trainer  Steve  Farrell,  of 
the  track  team,  has  started  active  prepara- 
tions for  the  coming  indoor  season  for  his 
1915  Varsity.  Several  of  the  athletes  who 
•will  compete  for  Michigan  this  season  were 
^mong  those  who  stayed  in  Ann  Arbor 
-during  the  holidays,  and  these  men  worked 
-out  regularly  in  the  gymnasium  under  the 
^trainer's  active  direction. 

Every  indication  points  to  a  strong  dual 
-track  team  for  the  Varsity  this  year,  al- 
:though  the  squad  will  probably  not  be  able 
to  earn  the  high  place  Michigan  has  had 
in  previous  years  at  the  Eastern  Intercol- 
legiate. There  will  be  few  stars  on  the 
rteam  this  year,  for  nearly  all  of  the  men 
wiio  brought  back  the  third  place  honors 
from  Cambridge  last  year  have  gra-duated. 
'Captain  Kohler,  Seward,  Bond,  and  Jansen 
;are  all  gone,  and  these  point  winners  of  the 
1914  aggregation  will  be  sorely  missed. 
Captain  Harold  Smith  and  Ferris  are  the 
-only  ones  left  of  the  athletes  who  contribut- 
ed their  share  to  Michigan's  total  at  the 
d)ig  Eastern  classic  last  spring. 

Captain  Smith  is  a  sprinter  and  won 
his  colors  in  the  century  and  220-yard 
•dashes  in  the  Harvard  Stadium.  Ferris 
reamed  his  right  to  the  Intercollegiate  *^M" 
by  taking  fifth  place  in  the  broad  jump. 
These  alone,  of  the  big  squad  of  men  who 
"have  signified  their  intention  of  coming 
•out  for  the  1915  team,  will  wear  the  coveted 
'Varsity  "M"  on  their  jerseys  this  year. 

But  with  a  big  squad  of  young  Varsity 


recruits  and  some  stars  of  1914  All-Fresh 
fame  in  prospect,  the  task  of  developing 
a  well-rounded  team  does  not  look  so  diffi- 
cult to  Trainer  Farrell  as  might  otherwise 
be  the  case.  Among  the  "aMa"  men  who 
will  be  eligible  for  competition  are  several 
athletes  who  missed  winning  their  Varsity 
letters  by  the  narrowest  of  margins,  and  all 
of  them  are  capable  performers  in  their 
events.  Moreover,  the  majority  of  them 
are  juniors,  and  on  the  verge  of  their 
greatest  efficiency. 

Unless  present  indications  are  no  cri- 
terion, the  big  star  of  the  1915  team,  outside 
of  Captain  Smith  himself,  will  be  the 
sophomore  Wilson,  whose  work  thus  far 
in  the  pole  vault  has  been  no  less  than 
phenomenal.  Wilson  is  a  Californian, 
which  means  that  he  is  an  athlete.  Last 
year  he  was  ineligible  for  All-Fresh  com- 
petition through  scholastic  deficiencies,  but 
he  is  all  right  this  season,  and  Farrell 
looks  for  big  things  from  him.  Wilson  has 
already  broken  the  gym  record  in  prac- 
tice, going  up  to  n  feet  7J4  inches  several 
times.  He  is  credited  with  12  feet  6  inches 
out  of  doors,  which  stamps  him  as  a 
wonderful  performer. 

Smith  is  certain  to  shine  in  the  century 
and  220-yard  dashes,  while  Ferris  is  expect- 
ed to  bolster  up  tiie  broad  jump  squad. 
Contrary  to  the  rule  of  previous  years, 
Michigan  seems  destined  to  be  strong  in 
field  events  this  year,  with  capable  ath- 
letes in  the  two  jumps,  the  pole  vault  and 
the  weights.  Captain  Kohler  will  be  sorely 
missed   in  these  last,   but  the   sophomores

jump.  Cross  and  Kessler  will  be  Wilson's 
chief  assistants  in  the  pole  vault,  while 
several  capable  jumpers  are  working  out 
with  Ferris  in  his  event. 

O'Brien,  Fontana,  Ziegler  and  one  or  two 
more  will  appear  with  Captain  Smith  in 
the  dashes.  The  colored  lad,  Lapsley,  is 
prepared  to  do  his  usual  stellar  work  in 
the  indoor  meets,  where  his  ability  as  a 
dash  man  has  neaer  been  questioned.  Cat- 
lett,  Corbin  and  Crumpacker  are  Farrell's 
best  men  in  the  hurdles. 

The  distance  runs  show  a  big  field  of 
capable  men.  Ufer  and  Fox  both  wear 
"aMa"s.  Captain  Carroll  of  the  1914  All- 
Fresh  is  generally  conceded  to  be  a  second 
Haimbaugh,  w-hile  Waters,  Trelfa,  Kuiv- 
inen,  Graumann  and  Donnelly  are  all  strong 
runners. 

Donnelly  may  put  his  entire  time  into  the 
half-mile,  where  Murphy  of  last  year's 
Varsity  squad  is  now  the  strongest  man. 
In  the  quarter-mile  run  Herrick  and  Burbey 
are  the  most  likely  men,  although  their  in- 
experience is  likely  to  militate  against 
them. 


THE  FOOTBALL  SCHEDULE   DELAYED 

The  action  of  the  Harvard  athletic 
authorities  in  declining  to  schedule  a  1915 
game  with  Michigan  played  havoc  with 
the  efforts  of  the  Varsity  schedule  makers, 
with  the  result  that,  as  this  is  written,  the 
names  of  the  teams  which  will  be  met  in 
IQ15  are  still  mysteries. 

Although  they  had  been  practically  warn- 
ed by  dispatches  from  Boston  to  the  effect 
that  Harvard  might  not  place  Michigan 
on  its  schedule  again,  the  official  announce- 
ment of  Professor  A.  S.  Whitney,  chair- 
man of  the  Athletic  Board  in  Control,  con- 
cerning the  situation,  came  as  a  surprise 
to  the  majority  of  the  Michigan  rooters. 

Th^  following  is  Professor  Whitney's 
statement  and  fully  explains  the  situation : 

"On  Saturday,  December  12,  Athletic 
Director  Bartelme  received  a  telegram 
from  Mr.  Moore,  the  graduate  treasurer 
of  the  Harvard  Athletic  Association,  to  the 
effect  that  there  was  apparently  not  a  pos- 
sibility of  a  western  trip  by  the  Harvard 
football  team  this  year  or  next,  and  that 
their  coaches  thought  because  of  green 
material  next  fall  a  mid-season  game  with 


a  team  so  powerful  physically  as  Michigan 
would  be  unwise.  In  reply  to  a  query  by 
telegram  as  to  whether  the  decision  of  the 
Harvard  authorities  was  final,  Mr.  Moore 
replied  in  the  affirmative." 

This  decision  is  particularly  disappointing 
to  Michigan  because  of  the  fact  that  the 
Varsity  had  met  the  Crimson  in  1914  with 
an  acknowledgedly  weak  team,  in  the  hope 
that  they  would  be  given  an  opportunity 
in  succeeding  years  to  avenge  possible 
defeat. 

The  problem  of  filling  the  place  left 
vacant  by  Harvard  is  the  chief  one  now 
before  the  Michigan  athletic  authorities. 
That  th€  nine-game  schedule  will  be  re- 
tained is  considered  a  certainty  because  of 
its  success  this  year.  For  this  reason  sev- 
eral new  opponents  must  be  found.  Van- 
derbilt,  De  Pauw  and  Harvard,  of  the 
teams  met  this  past  year,  will  not  be  on  the 
1915  schedule,  it  is  unofficially  announced, 
and   substitutes  must  be   found   for  them. 

The  annual  game  with  Cornell  will  be 
the  big  "home"  battle,  with  the  Ithacans 
coming  to  Ann  .A.rbor  for  the  second  suc- 
cessive year.  Philadelphia  will  be  the 
scene  of  th«  Michigan-Pennsylvania  game, 
which  will  probably  be  the  last  on  the 
schedule.  Syracuse  will  come  to  Ann  Ar- 
bor, as  will  also  M.  A.  C,  these  two  battles: 
furnishing  the  features  of  the  Varsity's 
mid-season  play.  Case  and  Mount  Union 
will  be  the  practice  tilts,  with  one  other 
small  team  added. 


MAULBETSCH  ON  THE  ALL-AMERICAN* 

Michigan  once  again  put  a  man  on  the 
mythical  All-American  football  eleven  dur- 
ing the  1 914  season  when  Walter  Camp,  in 
his  annual  selections,  chose  Maiilbetsch  for 
the  post  of  halfback,  with  Mahan  and 
Bradlee  of  Harvard  as  his  running  mates^ 
In  view  of  the  fact  that  the  Michigan 
man  is  only  a  sophomore,  and  won  the 
place  over  Spiegel  of  Washington  and  Jef- 
ferson, a  four-year  man,  the  recognition 
accorded  Michigan  is  considered  a  sig- 
nal one  and  Maulbetsch's  honors  all  the 
greater. 

No  other  Michigan  players  were  named 
on  any  of  the  three  teams  picked  by  the 
Yale  critic,  although  Captain  Raynsford., 
Hughitt  and  Captain-elect  Cochran  were 
all  selected  among  the  100  best  players  who* 
competed  in  collegiate  football  during  the 
past  season. 

In  naming  Maulbetsch,  Walter  Camp- 
praised  his  playing  in  no  mean  terms,  cit- 
ing him  as  one  of  the  greatest  plunging 
backs  in  the  history  of  the  game.  Camp 
saw  Maulbetsch  in  action  :n  the  Harvard- 
Michigan   game,   and  the   stellar   work   of

the  "German  Bullet"  in  that  clash,  when 
he  bore  the  brunt  of  the  offensive  play  by 
Michigan,  is  believed  to  have  persuaded 
Camp  of  the  'Michigan  player's  worth. 

This  selection  delighted  the  student  body, 
for  the  sophomore  is  a  popular  idol  among 
the  team's  supporters.  With  the  prestige  of 
the  1914  season  behind  him,  it  is  confidently 
expected  that  Maulbetsch  will  develop  into 
a  player  whose  work  and  reputation  will 
rival  that  of  Heston. 

The  fact  that  others  of  the  1914  Varsity 
were  not  named  for  places  on  any  of  his 
three  elevens  came  as  a  distinct  surprise. 
The  work  of  Captain  Raynsford  was  of 
such  a  higli  class  throughout  the  season, 
that  many,  including  Coach  Yost,  expected 
that  the  Varsity  leader  would  receive  more 
recognition  than  was  his.  The  unfortunate 
injury  which  kept  Hughitt  from  showing 
his  true  worth  is  taken  as  the  reason  for 
his  not  receiving  a  place. 

The  naming  of  Maulbetsch  for  the  Camp 
-AIl-*American  brought  to  a  close  the  annual 
season  of  selections  of  mythical  elevens, 
the  remarkable  feature  of  which  was  the 
practically  unanimous  choice  of  the  Mich- 
igan man  for  a  place.  Not  a  single  critic 
of  note  failed  to  put  the  Varsity  'halfback 
on  his  eleven,  an  honor  which  has  been 
accorded  to  but  few  Midhigan  men. 


BASKETBALL 

In  spite  of  the  fact  that  Michigan  does 
not  boast  a  Varsity  basketball  team,  interest 
in  this  winter  sport  is  far  from  dormant  on 
the  Campus,  and  with  the  opening  of 
school  following  the  holiday  vacation,  hun- 
dreds of  players  have  appeared  on  the 
gym  floor  ready  for  practice  for  the  an- 
nual Campus  championship  series. 

Last  year  there  were  over  400  men  in 
the  practice  squads  of  the  various  class 
teams.  This  record  promises  to  be  broken 
by  the  number  who  will  report  for  the 
work-outs  under  the  team  leaders.  As  was 
the  case  last  year,  complaints  have  arisen 
over  the  lack  of  adequate  practice  space 
and  many  teams  have  been  forced  to  fore- 
go long  training  sessions  because  of  their 
inability  to  obtain  use  of  the  floor.  So 
great  is  the  demand  for  practice  hours, 
that  Director  Floyd  Rowe  has  found  it 
necessary  to  apportion  time  for  the  various 
teams.     The   freshman  players  will  be  al- 


lowed the  majority  of  the  time  inasmuch 
as  their  players  have  never  competed  to- 
gether. 

The  season  this  year  promises  to  be  un-. 
usually  successful,  with  many  players  of 
known  ability  already  enrolled  on  the  var- 
ious teams.  Play  in  the  championship  series 
will  be  similar  to  that  in  the  football 
tournament,  with  department  champions^ 
determined  in  preliminaries  and  each  team 
being  given  more  than  one  opportunity  to 
prove   its  worth  before   being   eliminated.. 


CROSS  COUNTRY  PROSPECTS 

Although  Michigan  was  not  represented 
in  any  collegiate  competition  in  cross- 
country running  during  the  past  fall  sea- 
son, one  of  the  largest  squads  in  recent 
years  participated  in  the  various  home 
meets  and  in  the  two  runs  with  the  squad 
from  the  Detroit  Central  Y.  M.  C.  A.  As. 
a  result  of  this  competition  seven  men  were- 
given  the  CCC,  the  highest  award  for  the^ 
cross-country  men,  while  to  many  others 
went  the  merit  certificates  which  denote 
creditable  work  in  long  distance   running. 

The  Michigan  runners  won  both  their 
meets  with  the  Detroit  runners,  and  in 
the  home  meets  some  good  time  records, 
were  hung  up.  Kuivinen,  a  sophomore, 
was  the  star  of  the  season,  with  Bouma  as 
next  best.  The  latter  is  a  freshman,  and 
great  work  is  expected  of  him  during  the^ 
coming  year. 

H.  L.  Carroll  of  Lockport,  N.  Y.,  a 
sophomore,  was  elected  captain  of  the  1915 
cross-country  team,  while  Frank  Walters 
of  Lansing,  Mich.,  was  chosen  as  the  new 
president  oit  the  Cross  Country  Club.  Those- 
to  whom  the  CCC  award  was  given  were 
Carroll,  Trelfa,  Kuivinen,  Bouma,  I>on- 
nelly,  Olson  and  Vance. 

Prospect's  for  an  exceptionally  strong 
team  in  1915  are  bright.  Trelfa  is  the 
only  runner  who  will  not  be  eligible  for 
competition  next  season,  and  there  are 
many  men  ready  to  "fill  his  place.  A  pro- 
gram of  thorough  training  has  been  map- 
ped out  for  next  year  with  the  idea  in  view 
of  again  sending  a  team  east  to  compete 
in  the  annual  Intercollegiate  Cross  Coun- 
try meet.  At  her  last  appearance,  the 
Michigan  Varsity  failed  to  place,  and  the- 
runners  are  anxious  to  retrieve  their  old; 
laurels.

ter much  social  converse  and  many  happy 
reunions,  the  guests  were  admitted  to  the 
bamjuet  hall,  which  when  the  doors  were 
thrown  open,  revealed  myriads  of  pen- 
nants of  yellow  and  blue  "floating  in  the 
light."  The  American  flag  also  formed  an 
important  part  of  the  decorations.

Paulist  Choir,  and  Master  Bader  Warren, 
accompanied  by  Mrs.  Alta  Beach  Edmonds, 
chairman  of  the  music  committee,  furnish- 
ed the  music.  Their  songs  during  the 
luncheon  and  the  afternoon  added  very 
materially  to  the  pleasure  of  the  occasion. 
Mrs.  Hills  introduced  the  speakers  in  a 
charming  manner.  Miss  Addams  gave  an 
interesting  talk  on  "SuflFrage ;"  Mrs.  Young, 
on  ''Vocational  Training."  Judge  Bartelme, 
Miss  Vittum  and  Miss  Bennett  also  spoke.

honorary  members  of  the  association. 

The  program  began  with  "The  Yellow 
and  the  Blue"  and  ended  with  "Auld  Lang 
Syne."  The  success  of  the  meeting  was 
due  to  the  untiring  efforts  of  Mrs.  Hills 
and  Mrs.  Conable.  It  was  one  of  the  most 
brilliant  events  in  the  history  of  the  or- 
ganization. 


BOSTON 

On  December  5  the  Michigan  University 
Club  of  New  England  held  its  regular 
monthly  dinner  at  the  Boston  City  Club. 
There  were  about  twenty-five  present,  with 
Dr.  C.  W.  Staples,  '89^^,  presiding.  The 
early  part  of  the  evening  was  taken  up 
with  the  business  session,  at  which  Mr. 
James  M.  Swift,  '95,  William  T.  Whedon, 
^i,  and  William  J.  iMontgomery  .were 
appointed  a  Membership  Conunittee  to 
solicit  new  members  for  the  Michigan  Club 
of  New  England.  A  committee  to  nomin- 
ate officers  for  next  year  was  appointed,

dinners  hereafter  on  the  second  Friday  of

After  the  business  was  transacted,  the 
meeting  was  turned  into  a  social  gathering 
with  talks  from  several  of  the  Michigan 
alumni  present,  among  whom  were  W.  T.

CINCINNATI 

From  the  Cincinnati  Times-Star,  we  clip 
the  following  account  of  the  entertainment 
provided  by  the  Cincinnati  Association  for 
the  members  of  the  Glee  and  Mandolin 
Clubs  of  the  University  on  December  21. 

The  Michigan  men,  on  their  arrival,  were 


met  by  local  University  of  Michigan  men, 
and  dividing  into  groups,  they  were  taken 
in  automobiles  to  the  Walnut  Hills  and 
Hughes  high  schools  and  the  University, 
where  they  gave  short  impromptu  concerts, 
during  the  morning.  They  assembled  at 
the  Gibson  at  12:30  and  the  University  of 
Michigan  Alumni  Association  of  Cincin- 
nati and  vicinity  gave  a  jolly  luncheon  party 
for  them. 

Mr.  Lawrence  Maxwell  '74i  A.M.  (hon.) 
'93,  LL.D.  '04,  is  the  president  of  the  local 
alumni  and  Mr.  C.  C.  Benedict,  '92,  the 
secretary  and  treasurer.  Mr.  Henry  T. 
Bannon,  '89,  of  Portsmouth,  O.,  is  the  first 
vice-president;  Mr.  Lewis  Arnett,  /'96-*98^ 
of  Covington,  second  vice-president,  and 
Mr.  Edward  Hafner,  r93-'94,  third  vice- 
president.  The  executive  committee  con- 
sists of  Messrs.  W.  B.  Burtner,  '94/,  Her- 
man •  Guckenberger,  '03/,  O.  K.  Jones.  '99/, 
A.  West  Schell,  '09-'!  i.  and  Dr.  M.  L. 
Heidingsfeld,  '93. 

In  all  forty-three  men  arrived  in  the 
group.  After  their  luncheon  they  gave  an 
impromptu  concert  in  the  foyer  of  the 
Gibson.  Their  aggregation  includes,  be- 
sides the  Glee  Club,  a  rather  elaborate 
number  of  strings  for  a  university  groupr 
their  small  orchestra  having  violins,  guit- 
ars, 'cellos,  banjos,  mandolins,  and  a  snare 
drum,  and  their  programme  includes  one 
or  two  numbers  seldom  attempted  by  col- 
lege visitors. 

At  4  oclock  the  men  were  taken  in  ma- 
chines out  to  the  home  of  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Lawrence  Maxwell,  who  invited  to  meet 
them  half  a  hundred  of  the  younger  girls 
of  society  for  an  informal  dance,  followed 
by  supper  and  from  there  the  men  arranged 
to  go  to  their  Pullman  to  prepare  for  the 
concert.  The  clubs  finish  their  Christmas 
round  of  concerts  in  Detroit  on  January  2, 
when  they  have  a  joint  concert  with  the 
Harvard  Glee  Club. 

The  Emery  Auditorium's  stage  was  gay 
with  Michigan  pennants  for  the  concert 
and  again  the  maize  and  blue  was  displayed 
among  the  palms,  the  pale  corn  color  and 
the  light  blue  being  very  effective.  Quite 
a  number  of  box  parties  and  parties  in 
seats  were  made  up  for  the  occasion. 


DETROIT 

Hon.  George  P.  Codd,  '91,  judge  of  the 
Wayne  County  Circuit  Court,  spoke  at  the 
Wednesday  luncheon  of  the  Detroit  Club 
on  December  9,  taking  as  his  subject  the 
question  of  marriage  and  divorce.  On  the 
following  Wednesday,  Clarence  W.  Hub- 
bell,  *93^,  C.E.  '04,  formerly  Commissioner 
of  Public  Works  in  the  Philippines,  and  an 
engineer  of  international  reputation,  spoke

bell  has  recently  returned  to  I>etroit  to 
make  an  investigation  of  sewage  disposal  in 
connection  with  the  inquiry  of  the  National 
Waterways  Commission.  No  further  meet- 
ings were  held  until  after  the  holidays. 

On  January  2  the  University  of  Midi- 
igan  Club  and  the  Harvard  Club  brought 
to  Detroit  the  Harvard  Glee  Club  and  the 
Michigan  Glee  Club  in  a  joint  concert  given 
at  the  Hotel  Pontchartrain.  A  dance  fol- 
lowed the  concert  in  the  ballroom  of  the 
hotel. 


INDIANAPOLIS 

On  December  9,  members  of  the  Indian- 
apolis Association  held  a  meeting  looking 
to  the  stirring  up  of  a  little  more  activity 
in  the  organization.  It  was  decided  to  hold 
a  supper  at  the  Shortridge  High  School 
on  the  evening  of  January  13,  at  which 
time  plans  will  be  made  for  a  banquet  later 
in  the  year.  H.  B.  Skiixman. 


NEW  YORK  ALUMNAE 

Fraunces  Tavern,  one  of  the  historical 
landmarks  of  New  York  and  the  place 
where  Washington  bade  farewell  to  his 
officers,  was  the  scene  of  a  happy  meeting 
on  December  5th  of  the  University  of 
Michigan  Women's  Club.  This  building  is 
now  the  Club  House  of  the  Sons  of  the 
American  Revolution,  who  in  restoring  it 
maintained  its  colonial  atmosphere. 

The  sixty  guests  were  recived  at  the 
entrance  by  a  gentleman  in  powdered  wig 
and  Cotonial  livery  of  yellow  and  blue — 
the  true  Michigan  colors.  After  a  social 
hour,  the  Club  were  escorted  to  the  ban- 
quet hall  under  the  mansard  roof. 

Miss  Alta  B.  Chase,  '09,  who  made  the 
arrangements  for  the  day,  had  so  care- 
fully attended  to  all  the  details  that  noth- 
ing was  lacking  for  the  good  time  which 
characterized  this  meeting. 

The  president.  Miss  Florence  Sunder- 
land, '03,  in  introducing  the  guests  of  honor, 
Dr.  Elsie  S.  Pratt,  '04m,  of  Michigan,  and 
Professor  Lucy  M.  Salmon,  '76,  A.M.  '83, 
of  Vassar,  likened  the  meeting  to  the  recent 
Harvard- Yale  football  game — Yale  provid- 
ed the  Bowl,  Harvard  the  Punch.  The 
guests'  speeches  served  as  a  sparkling  punch 
for  the  luncheon. 

Greetings  from  President  Hutchins  and 
President  Emeritus  Angell,  tendered  by  Dr. 
Pratt,  received  hearty  applause.  The  Club 
listened  with  marked  interest  to  Dr.  Pratt's 
account  of  her  work  with  the  girls  in  the 
"Health  Service"  which  is  focused  upon 
prevention  rather  than  cure.  The  new 
residence  halls  will  help  the  directors  solve 
this  problem,  but  the  speaker  urged  the 
necessity  of  an  infirmary.  She  said  that 
the  girls  of  the  University  had  taken  the 


initiative  in  asking  for  the  combination  of 
vocational  and  academic  training,  a  re- 
quest which  it  is  hoped  the  Regents  wilL 
meet. 

Professor  Lucy  M.  Salmon,  '76,  A.M.  '83, 
one  of  Michigan's  most  distinguished 
alumnae,  in  her  talk  on  "Ideals  in  Educa- 
tion" made  a  strong  plea  for  the  cultural 
side  of  studies.  In  her  judgment,  the  maia 
thing  derived  from  university  training  is  an 
inspiration  for  knowledge  which  comes 
from  the  teaching  of  great  professors. 

Mrs.  Leonard  Van  Noppen,  the  wife  of 
the  Queen  Wilhelmina  exchange  professor 
from  the  Netherlands  to  Columbia  Univer- 
sity, spoke  of  the  wt)rk  of  women  in  the 
peace  movement.  What  is  needed,  she 
maintained,  is  a  great  woman  to  unite  her 
world  sisters  against  war,  so  that  the  wo- 
men of  the  world  can  have  their  own  peace 
palace. 

The  Club  generously  responded  to  an  ap- 
peal to  help  the  Belgians  by  contributing 
over  one  hundred  dollars  for  the  relief 
fun-d. 

Discussion  followed  the  speeches,  after 
which  the  Club  adjourned  with  a  feeling  of 
deeper  loyalty  to  Alma  Mater.

PASADENA  ALUMNAE 

The  University  of  Michigan  Ahimnae 
Association  of  Pasadena  met  with  Miss 
Brown  on  Saturday,  December  19.  Mrs. 
R.  W.  Bailey  read  a  resume  of  recent 
events  at  the  University  which  was  much 
enjoyed.  A  Christmas  tree  with  gifts  from 
Santa  Claus  for  everyone  was  followed  by 
the  exchange  of  presents  brought  by  the 
members.  Refreshments  were  served  in 
"boxes  from  home,"  containing  sand- 
wiches, candy,  nuts,  fruit,  cake  and  mince 
pies.  The  members  present  were:  Mes-

OBITUARIES 


JOHN  CALDWELL  KIRKPATRICK 

John  Caldwell  Kirkpatrick  was  born 
October  29,  1856,  in  Allegheny  City,  Pa. 
He  received  bis  early  education  in  the 
schools  of  Steubenville,  Ohio,  and  in  1877 
entered  the  Law  Department  of  the  Uni- 
versity, graduating  with  the  degree  of 
LL.B.  with  the  class  of  1878.  Immediately 
after  graduation  he  entered  upon  the  prac- 
tice of  law  in  Zanesville,  Ohio.  In  1885 
he  removed  to  California,  taking  a  lease 
upon  a  small  tract  of  land  in  the  San 
Joaquin  Valley.  Owing  to  his  success  in 
the  management  of  this  land,  he  was  of- 
fered, two  years  later,  the  entire  manage- 
ment of  the  Sharon  outside  land  interests. 
Eventually  practically  the  entire  Sharon 
estate  came  under  his  management.  In 
1893  he  became  manager  of  the  Palace 
Hotel  in  San  Francisco,  then  passing 
through  a  period  of  financial  depression. 
Its  sudden  rise  to  its  present  position  was 
due  to  his  efforts.  Some  years  later 
Colonel  Kirkpatrick  became  manager  also 
of  the  Fairmont  Hotel  in  San  Francisco. 
He  served  as  Harbor  Commissioner  and 
as  Park  Commissioner,  and  as  chief  of 
staff  under  Governor  Markham.  In  1880 
he  was  married  at  San  Jose,  Calif.,  and  had 
two  children,  a  son,  William  Allen,  and  a 
daugbter,  Mrs.  Suzanne  MacDonald.  At 
the  time  of  his  death,  he  was  a  director  in 
the  Wells  Fargo  Nevada  National  Bank 
and  in  the  Associated  Oil  Co.,  and  had 
many  other  business  interests.     He  was  a 


member  of  a  number  of  San  Francisco 
clubs.  He  died  on  November  5  of  diabetes 
after  an  illness  of  about  ten  days.  He  is 
survived  by  his  wife  and  children. 


ALVA  BEACH  THOMPSON 

Alva  Beach  Thompson  was  born  De- 
cember 5,  1865,  at  Brooklyn,  N.  Y.  He 
entered  the  University  in  1886,  with  the 
class  of  '90,  but  was  graduated  with  the 
class  of  1889.  In  1892  he  received  the  A.M. 
degree  from  Stanford  University,  where  he 
was  at  one  time  an  instructor  in  the  Eng- 
lish Department.  In  February,  1896,  he 
was  married  to  Miss  Augusta  Veeder,  of 
Berkeley,  Calif.  Mr.  Thompson  engaged  in 
an  active  business  career  in  San  Francisco, 
and  at  the  time  of  his  death  was  president 
of  the  Tuolumne  Water  Power  Co.  and 
vice-president  of  the  Metropolitan  Light 
and  Power  Co.,  and  of  the  Sierra  and  San 
Francisco  Power  Co.  He  was  also  a  for- 
mer president  of  the  Poulsen  Wireless 
Corporation,  the  Wireless  Development  Co., 
and  the  Stanislaus  Electric  Power  Co.  Mr. 
Thompson  was  a  memiber  of  many  clubs 
in  San  Francisco,  and  was  in  191 1  president 
of  the  Menlo  Country  Club.  In  1908,  he 
was  a  delegate  to  the  National  Republican 
Convention.  Early  in  the  summer,  Mr. 
Thompson,  with  his  wife  and  daughter, 
went  to  Europe.  Returning  at  the  out- 
break of  the  war,  they  took  an  apartment 
at  the  Baltimore  in  New  York  City,  where 
his  death  occurred  suddenly  on  the  even-

ing  of  October  23.  For  some  time,  how- 
ever, he  had  been  in  poor  health.  He  was 
buried  at  Menlo  Park,  Calif.,  where  he 
had  made  his  home  for  some  years. 


JAMES  FISHER  TWEEDY 

James  Fisher  Tweedy  was  bom  in  Mil- 
waukee, Wis.,  March  20,  1849.  He  was 
educated  in  the  schools  of  Milwaukee  until 
his  fifteenth  year,  when  he  was  sent  to 
Phillips  Exeter  Academy  at  Exeter,  N.  H., 
to  prepare  for  Harvard  University.  On 
completing  the  Exeter  course  in  1866, 
however,  he  was  induced  by  western  friends 
to  enter  the  University  of  Michigan,  grad- 
uating with  the  class  of  1870.  After  grad- 
uation he  joirted  a  party  formed  by  Alfred 
Noble,  '7oe,  LL.D.  '95,  to  survey  the  har- 
bors of  Cheboygan  and  Alpena,  which  re- 
turned to  Milwaukee  late  in  the  fall  to 
map  out  the  work  done  in  the  field.  In- 
fluenced by  that  experience,  he  returned 
to  the  University  in  September,  1871,  and 
took  a  partial  course  in  engineering.  In 
February,  1872,  he  entered  the  employ  of 
the  C.  M.  &  St.  P.  R.  R.  as  one  of  a  party 
to  survey  the  line  between  Milwaukee  and 
Chicago.  In  September  of  that  same  year 
he  was  married  to  Mary  Alice  Belcher, 
'71 -'72,  of  Milwaukee.  In  the  early  part 
of  1873  he  spent  a  few  months  in  Canton, 
Ohio,    studying    with    Judge    William    R. 


Day,  his  intimate  friend  and  classmate, 
with  the  idea  of  preparing  himself  for  a 
patent  attorney.  In  M)ay,  however,  !he 
returned  to  Milwaukee,  and  entered  the 
office  of  Conro,  Starke  Co.,  contractors, 
for  whom  he  drew  the  plans  for  the  first 
dry  dock  built  there.  He  remained  with 
them  until  1878,  when  he  became  actively 
interested  in  a  banking  and  brokerage 
business  which  he  had  started  with  Mr. 
Beldier  in  1875.  In  1881  lie  removed  to 
New  York  City,  becoming  a  member  of 
the  New  York  Stock  Exchange,  leaving 
to  his  brother,  John  H.  Tweedy,  Jr.,  '79, 
the  management  of  the  business  in  Mil- 
waukee. In  New  York  he  formed  the 
brokerage  firm  of  Tweedy,  Imbrie  &  Co., 
which  was  dissolved  in  1888.  In  that  year, 
Mr.  Tweedy  retired  from  business  and 
devoted  his  time  to  recovering  his  health, 
broken  by  fifteen  years  of  office  life. 
Shortly  after  he  came  into  the  possession 
of  an  abandoned  New  Hampshire  farm, 
where  he  spent  most  of  each  year.  In 
January,  1899,  he  entered  the  stock  ex- 
change office  of  Theo.  Wilson,  now  Wil- 
son, Watson  &  Herbert,  where  he  remained 
until  his  retirement  from  active  business 
in  May,  1913.  Mr.  Tweedy  had  five  chil- 
dren, Arthur  William,  Margaret  Hunter, 
Richard,  James  Belcher  and  Alfred,  who, 
with  his  wife,  survive  him.  His  death  oc- 
curred on  December  21,  in  New  York  City.

JAMES  A.  LE  ROY.  %.  AND  HIS  "AMER- 
ICANS IN  THE  PHILIPPINES" 

It  is '  probable  that  the  alumni  of  no 
other  institution  of  learning  in  America  or 
elsewhere  have  played  a  larger  part  in  the 
occupation  and  government  of  the  Philip- 
pine Islands  by  the  United  States  than  have 
the  graduates  and  former  students  of  the 
University  of  Michigan.  It  is  an  interest- 
ing fact,  also,  that  the  two  most  import- 
ant contributions  to  the  literature  of  Ameri- 
can activities  in  the  Islands  have  been  pro- 
duced by  Michigan  men.  Of  these,  "The 
Americans  in  the  Philippines,"  by  James 
A.  LcRoy,  '96,  makes  an  unusual  appeal  to 
Michigan  men  and  women,  not  only  be- 
cause of  its  intrinsic  worth  as  a  contribu- 
tion to  the  history  of  the  nation,  but  be- 
cause of  the  personality  of  its  author  and 
the  conditions  under  which  it  was  written. 

James  A.  LeRoy  came  to  the  University 
from  Pontiac  at  the  age  of  seventeen  with 


a  reputation  in  athletics  and  scholarship 
and  with  a  personality  that  at  once  made 
him  a  marked  man  in  Ann  Arbor.  His 
career  here  as  an  athlete,  as  a  student,  as  a 
force  for  good  in  Campus  activities,  and 
as  a  leader  of  men  was  long  remembered 
at  Michigan.  He  absorbed  the  best  that 
Michigan  had  to  give,  and  rendered  to  her 
the  best  that  was  in  him.  While  in  col- 
lege he  became  a  member  of  the  Delta 
Upsilon  fraternity,  and  upon  the  installa- 
tion of  a  chapter  of  Phi  Beta  Kappa  at 
Michigan  he  was  elected  to  membership  in 
this  society.  At  twenty  he  became  prin- 
cipal of  the  Pontiac  High  -School,  but  hav- 
ing been  engaged  in  newspaper  work  while

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[January 


C.  Worcester,  '89,  of  the  Second  Philippine 
Commission.  During  his  several  years  up- 
on the  Islands,  Mr.  LeRoy  not  only  per- 
formed valuable  services  for  the  Commis- 
sion, but  did  a  tremendous  amount  of 
work  upon  the  history  of  the  Philippines 
under  the  Spanish  regime  and  of  the 
American  occupation  and  pacification  of 
the  Islands.  His  arduous  labors  made  too 
great  a  drain  upon  even  his  abundant 
strength  and  he  left  the  Islands  a  victim 
of  tuberculosis.  The  remaining  years  of 
life, — he  died  in  1909. — were  spent  in  a 
courageous  battle  against  disease  and  in 
a  determined  effort  to  complete  the  work 
which  was  almost  as  much  as  life  to  him, 
a  history  of  the  Americans  in  the  Philip- 
pines through  the  first  five  years  of  the 
Commission  Government.  It  was  not 
granted  to  him  that  he  should  finish  his 
task,  but  he  was  enabled  to  bring  his  his- 
tory down  through  1900,  and  the  two  bulky 
volumes  which  embody  the  product  of  his 
devoted  labor  are  of  great  and  permanent 
value  to  all  students  of  the  history  of 
America  and  of  the  Philippines. 

The  sub-title  of  the  book,  *'A  History  of 
the  Conquest  and  First  Years  of  Occupa- 
tion, With  an  Introductory  Account  of  the 
Spanish  Rule,"  gives  an  accurate  idea  of 
its  scope.  The  first  three  chapters  deal 
with  the  Spanish  regime,  the  first  being  a 
careful  description  of  the  Castilian  rule 
over  the  Islands  down  to  about  1890,  and 
the  second  and  third  dealing  wnth  the 
governmental  reforms  and  political  strug- 
gles which  immediately  preceded  the  com- 
ing of  the  Americans.  These  chapters  are 
based  upon  painstaking  research  through 
a  vast  mass  of  source  material,  both  Span- 
isfh  and  Filipino,  and  upon  an  intimate 
knowledge  of  conditions  gained  from  both 
Spaniards  and  natives.  They  furnish  the 
reader  with  an  historical  background  with- 
out which  any  adequate  understanding  of 
the  Philippine  problem  is  impossible. 

The  bulk  of  the  work  is  given  over  to  a 
history  of  the  American  conquest  and  early 
occupation  of  the  Islands.  The  interven- 
tion of  the  United  States  as  a  result  of  the 
war  with  Spain,  the  Battle  of  Manila  Bay, 
the  subsequent  relations  between  the  Amer- 
icans and  the  Spaniards,  the  insurgent 
Filipinos,  the  German  fleet  and  the  repre- 
sentatives of  other  foreign  states,  a  study 
of  the  Treaty  of  Paris,  and  the  final  drift- 
ing into  war  with  the  natives  complete  the 
first  volume.  The  second  volume  carries 
the  story  down  throug'h  the  capture  of 
Aguinaldo  and  concludes  with  chapters  of 
"American  Promises  and  Performances" 
and  "The  Religious  Question."  The  mili- 
tary campaigns,  the  organization  and  activ- 
ities of  the  Filipino  government,  the  senti- 
ment of  the  Filipino  people,  and  the  be- 


ginning of  civil  rule  on  the  Islands  are 
presented  with  the  insight  of  the  real  his- 
torian. Also  not  the  least  interesting  parts 
of  the  book  are  those  which  reveal  the 
relations  which  existed  between  the  army 
and  the  navy,  between  both  and  the  civil 
administration,  and  the  relation  which  the 
whole  Philippine  problem  bore  to  politics 
at  home.  After  finishing  the  book  the 
reader  may  easily  feel  that  a  democratic 
republic  is  perhaps  the  worst  possible  form 
of  government  for  the  solution  of  colonial 
problems  or  the  administration  of  colonies ; 
that  our  acquisition  of  the  Islands  from 
Spain  was  the  result  of  opportunism  rather 
than  of  far-seeing  statesmanship;  that  we 
blundered  into  war  with  the  natives  and 
then  muddled  through  it  somehow  in  spite 
of  politics  at  home  and  stupidity  in  high 
quarters  on  the  Islands.  General  Otis  is 
shown  in  no  favorable  light  as  commander 
of  the  army  in  the  Philippines,  nor  does 
General  Wheaton  fare  much  better.  The 
reader  can  hardly  refrain  from  wondering 
how  far  the  well  known  absence  of  cordial 
relations  between  the  army  and  the  civil 
administration  could  have  affected  the 
author's  estimate  of  some  of  the  military 
leaders.  On  the  other  hand,  Mr.  LeRoy 
has  made  few  statements  that  are  not 
supported  by  documentary  evidence  of  a 
sort  that  can  not  be  impeached.  Possibly 
the  ntost  valuable  contribution  to  an  under- 
standing of  the  events  of  the  early  years 
of  the  United  States  in  the  Philippines  and 
the  present  situation  there  is  to  be  found 
in  the  author's  description  of  the  insurgent 
government,  his  intimate  representation  of 
the  Filipino  leaders,  particularly  of  Mabini, 
and  in  his  estimate  of  the  natives  as  a 
whole.  He  concludes  that  the  thing  that 
kept  the  insurgents  in  the  field  for  so  long, 
and  that  made  the  "pacification"  of  the 
Islands  such  a  tremendously  difficult  pro^D- 
lem  was  a  racial  unity  which  was  expressed 
in  a  genuine  anti-American  feeling,  and  in 
a  determination  not  to  be  ruled  by  the 
United  States.  But  although  he  believed 
that  this  racial  unity  played  an  important 
part  in  prolonging  the  opposition  to  the 
.United  States,  yet  certain  other  circum- 
stances he  held  to  bespeak  "neither  a  lack 
of  complete  and  real  unity  of  sentiment 
among  the  Filipinos  or  a  lack  of  any  such 
degree  of  tenacity  in  pursuing  patriotic 
ends  as  some  other  peoples  have  shown." 
How  deep  this  feeling  of  racial  unity,  na- 
tionality perhaps  it  may  be  called,  is,  has 
not  yet  been  determined  by  scholars,  by 
statesmen,  or  by  events.  Its  existence  has 
been  vigorously  denied  and  hotly  affirmed. 
We  are  hearing  a  good  deal  of  the  rights 
of  nationalities  these  days,  and  if  this 
"racial  unity"  which  LeRoy  recognized  in 
the  Philippines  does  prove  to  be  real  and

tenacious  of  life  it  may  become  the  domi- 
nant factor  in  the  problem  which  we  still 
have  in  the  Islands. 

After  his  return  from  the  Philippines, 
Mr.  LeRoy  turned  his  extensive  literary 
connections  to  account  in  replying  to  the 
campaign  then  being  carried  on  by  the  anti- 
imperialists.  In  many  articles  appearing  in 
the  Atlantic  Monthly,  the  Outlook,  the  In- 
dependent, the  American  Historical  Re- 
v'tezv,  the  Political  Science  Quarterly,  and 
in  other  publications  he  strove  to  convince 
Americans  that  the  responsibilities  of  this 
nation  in  the  Philippines  were  such  that  we 
could  not  honorably  withdraw  from  the 
Islands  until  their  inhabitants  had  really 
been  prepared  for  successful  self-govern- 
ment, and  that  they  could  not  hope  to  reach 
that  happy  condition  in  the  immediate  fu- 
ture. He  thus  was  opposed  to  immediate 
independence  for  the  Philippines,  or  to  a 
too  rapid  expansion  of  their  powers  of 
self-government.  His  convictions  in  this 
matter  fortunately  have  not  impaired  the 
value  of  his  book.  In  the  introduction 
which  he  wrote  to  the  work  Ex- President 
Taft  treats  of  this  fact  frankly  and  fairly, 
saying,  **He  had  a  judicial  mind  and  a  very 
great  love  of  accurate  research  and  investi- 
gation. I  think  he  was  possibly  not  free 
from  some  prejatdices,  for  these  usually 
affect  all  men,  but,  on  the  whole,  his  in- 
tense love  of  the  truth  and  his  desire  to  be 
correct  historically  were  so  strong  that  his 
account  and  his  view  of  what  he  learned 
from  his  investigations  were  likely  to  be  as 
little  colored  as  that  of  any  historian  *  *  * 
There  will  be  differences  of  opinion  with 
Mr.  LeRoy's  conclusions,  but  what  makes 
his  work  so  valuable  is  that  he  states  the 
evidence  on  both  sides  of  controversial  is- 
sues, and  while  he  draws  his  own  infer- 
ences, -he  adduces  the  sources  of  his  in- 
formation and  states  the  evidence  on  both 
sides  in  such  a  way  as  to  enable  the  reader 
to  exercise  his  judgment,  and  affirm,  or 
differ  from,  the  conclusion  of  the  author." 

That  "The  Americans  in  the  Philinnines" 
is  a  valuable  contribution  to  a  very  im- 
portant phase  of  American  history  cannot 
be  doubted.  He  is  a  very  wise  or  an  ex- 
ceedingly rash  political  seer  who  under- 
takes to  declare  whither  this  nation  is  tend- 
ing in  matters  colonial.  .Many  thoughtful 
Americans  hesitate  to  say  whether  we 
are  going  or  coming  on  the  imperial 
highway.  It  is  significant  that  the 
great  political  party  which  out  of  power 
has  stood  aggressively  for  anti-imperialism 
and  a  withdrawal  from  the  Philippines  now 
seems  to  be  either  unable  or  indisposed  to 
do  anything  more  definitely  to  accomplish 
this  end  than  did  their  predecessors  at 
Washington.  And  is  the  Mexican  prob- 
lem yet  settled?     "The  Americans  in  the 


Philippines"  is  one  of  the  books  that  the 
American  citizen  should  read  if  he  desires 
to  have  a  reasonable  basis  for  his  opinion 
upon  one  of  the  great  national  problems  of 
his  generation.  J.  R.  H.

A  DISCOURSE  UPON  COMEDY.  THE  RE- 
CRUITING OFFICER.  AND  THE 
BEAUX  STRATAGEM 

Since  Saine-Beuve  and  Arnold  it  is  pos- 
sible to  write  about  writing  and  still  be 
truthful  and  restrained  and  yet  give  to  the 
reader  that  sharpness  of  effect  which  com- 
monly is  rather  stupidly  called  clearness. 
Professor  Strauss's  edition  of  Farquhafs 
A  Discourse  Upon  Comedy,  The  Recruit- 
ing Officer,  and  The  Beaux  Stratagem,  in 
the  Belles-Lettres  Series,  gives  the  impres- 
sion of  the  most  painstaking  accuracy,  the 
exercise  of  a  most  judicious  selective  in- 
stinct for  all  that  is  essential  for  interest 
and  for  fullness  of  understanding,  and 
(and  here's  the  real  achievement)  the 
reader  is  so  keenly  affected  by  the  critical 
acumen  and  light  that  he  desires  renewal 
of  the  stimulating  effect  of  following  the 
editor's  analyses  and  explanations.  The 
real  paradox  is  that  the  editor  so  thorough- 
ly gains  the  sharply  penetrating  effect  so 
much  to  be  desired  in  all  exposition  that 
one  wants  to  read  it  all  over  again. 

The  Biography  of  Farquhar,  the  Notes 
to  the  Discourse  and  to  the  text  of  the  two 
pla>-^.  and  the  Glossary,  actually  answer 
every  reasonable  question  aroused  in  the 
reader's  mind  while  reading  the  text  itself. 
The  Notes  are  readable  by  themselves, 
apart  from  the  text, — something  unusual, 
is  it  not?  They  give  information  the  stu- 
dent of  literature  welcomes.  They  are 
exact,  these  laconic  statements  of  fact, 
and  they  are  lexiconic  in  every  needed 
respect.  Really,  ojie  enjoys  these  few  pages 
of  notes.  Much  in  little  is  here  attained, 
and  yet  the  student's  mind  has  a  sense  of 
adequacy  and  of  fullness  at  every  step.  The 
demands  of  modern  scientific  criticism  are 
met,  and  yet  even  the  popular  reader  would 
find  none  of  the  material  superfluous  to 
him.  The  Bibliography  is,  of  course,  for 
the  student  only.  It  is  final  evidence  that 
the  seeing  eyes  of  the  editor  have  left  noth- 
ing unobserved;  anyway,  nothing  one  not

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[January 


exhaustively  acquainted  with  the  literature, 
of  the  eighteenth  century  can  conceive  as 
having  been  overlooked.  Fifty-eight  texts 
of  The  Recruiting  Officer,  forty  texts  of 
The  Beaux  Stratagem,  and  forty-four 
works  of  biography  and  criticism,  would 
seem  sufl&cient  to  check  any  tendency  to 
inaccuracy  in  an  editor's  observation  and 
inference.  The  texts  of  the  Discourse  Up- 
on Comedy  are  not  so  fully  detailed,  but 
this  is  unnecessary  unless  one  were  anxious 
to  trace  all  compositor's  errors,  which  those 
who  delight  to  do  may,  and  welcome  be 
their  task! 

But  it  is  the  Introduction  by  the  editor 
which  is  the  crowning  piece  of  the  work. 
Perhaps  to  those  who  know  Professor 
Strauss  it  would  be  enough  to  say  that 
here  he  writes  as  he  talks;  not  alone  with 
the  same  freshness  and  boldness  of  view- 
point, the  same  ample  illustration,  enthu- 
siasm of  tone,  and  high  and  wholesome 
ideality  of  purpose,  but  with  the  same  well- 
formed  and  effective  sentences  that  charac- 
terize his  class-room  instruction  and  his 
conversation  when  one  catches  step  with 
him  upon  the  street.  This  Introduction  is 
one  to  the  Comic  drama,  and  not  Farquhar 
alone.  One  of  the  most  valuable  distinctions 
made  by  the  editor  is  between  the  Comedy 
of  Humors  and  the  Comedy  of  Manners. 
Another  valuable  point  made  is  that  the 
Renaissance  in  England  was  not  at  its 
climax  in  the  Elizabethan  time,  but  that 
that  period  was  but  the  crest  of  one  great 
wave  of  the  Renaissance  in  the  midst  of 
which  we  still  are.  The  thin  sort  of  think- 
ing that  makes  Puritanism  antithetical  to 
classicism,  rather  than  classicism  itself  out- 
working the  end  of  order  in  morals,  is 
more  explicitly  corrected  here  than  any- 
where else  we  can  remember.  Professor 
Strauss,  however,  gives  comfort  to  the 
superior  attitude  of  the  upper  middle  class 
personage  when  in  speaking  of  tlie  copying 
of  fashionable  vices,  he  says,  "what  is 
worse  it  reveals  corruption  where  virtue 
ought  to  persist."  As  if  "oughtness"  need 
not  so  strongly  apply  to  the  classes  as  to 
the  masses!  Frank  and  yet  carefully  dis- 
criminating facing  of  the  facts  is  in  these 
unusually  unevasive  passages  on  pages  xvi, 
xvii,  xxviii,  and  xxix, 

•'Comedy  of  Manners  is  necessarily  im- 
moral. It  is  so  because  it  faithfully  re- 
flects a  mode  of  life  that  is  itself  immoral. 
This  sounds  like  calling  a  mirror  ugly  that 
bodies  forth  ugly  faces;  but  it  is  not  pre- 
cisely so.  If  there  were  a  mirror  that 
could  reflect  only  ugly  faces,  remaining 
blind  to  such  as  are  beautiful,  the  com- 
parison would  hold,  for  comedy  of  man- 
ners can  exist  only  amidst  conditions  of 
immorality.  ♦  *  *  This  Comedy  of  man- 
ners reveals  the  truth  of  the  latter  seven- 


teenth century  as  nothing  else  could  reveal 
it  It  is  quite  as  necessary,  in  order  to 
understand  that  age,  and  those  following 
it,  to  know  Congreve  as  to  know  Bunyan 
*  *  *  Comedy  of  manners  is  immoral  be- 
cause it  is  a  faithful  image  of  an  immoral 
life.  *  *  *  Restoration  comedy  *  *  *  paints 
vice  attractively.  Suppose  it  did  not?  Then 
it  would  be  equally  immoral,  for  it  would 
be  plainly  hypocritical  *  *  *  The  comedy 
that  reflects  this  life,  to  be  truly  moral 
must  be  immoral.  *  *  *  But  ♦  *  ♦  by  the 
excesses  of  comedy  *  *  *  the  age  brought 
itself  quickly  and  suddenly  to  a  sense  of 
its  own  immorality." 

Illustration  of  the  mind-stimulating 
things  which  Professor  Strauss  is  always 
saying  is  in,  **We  may  think  of  Collier's 
Short  View  as  an  attack  that  opened  the 
eyes  of  the  world;  or  we  may  regard  it 
merely  as  a  timely  expression  of  the  fact 
that  they  were  open."  In  fact,  this  whole 
Introduction  is  illustrative  of  the  words 
of  Goethe,— 

Wer  den  Dichter  will  verstehen 
JMuss  in  Dichters  Lande  gehen. 
The  references  to  and  elaborations  of 
the  ideas  Farquhar  evolves  in  the  Dis- 
course Upon  Comedy  in  reference  to  t\\^ 
English  stage  create  eager  desire  for  read- 
ing of  the  Discourse,  as  appreciative  crit- 
icism should  do.  And  this  editor's  state- 
ments concerning  the  Discourse  are  inter- 
esting and  effective,  too,— which  "writing 
about  writing"  so  seldom  is. 

One  might  think  it  the  business  of  an 
editor  of  plays  to  induce  one  to  read  the 
plays.  The  editor  does  his  business  per- 
fectly. We  read  the  plays.  However,  there 
are  three  other  things  we  have  especially 
to  be  grateful  to  Professor  Strauss  for. 
One  is  evidence  of  the  fact  that  textual 
criticism  can  be  something  other  than  dull; 
there  are  no  "new  meanders"  taken  by 
"ductile  Dulness"  in  this  editing.  Another 
thing  to  be  grateful  for  is  the  richly  illum- 
inating explanation  of  the  literary  era  of 
which  George  Farquhar  is  one  expression. 
The  third  is  the  gift,  in  easily  accessible 
form,  of  Farquhar's  own  Discourse  Upon 
Comedy,  worth  almost  as  much,  for  two  or 
three  of  its  definitions  alone,  as  Farquhar's 
comedies  themselves.  T.  E.  R.

that  one  takes  this  trigonometry  in  hand 
with  high  expectations  of  some  really  vital 
and  new  applications  of  the  trigonometry 
to  practical  affairs.  However,  the  reader  is 
doomed  to  disappointment  for  the  text 
varies  in  no  material  points  from  dozens 
of  other  texts  in  trigonometry  now  upon  the 
market.  It  must  be  said  that  the  authors 
make  no  claim  to  originality,  and  state  that 
^*the  best  ideas  and  treatment  "have  been 
used,  no  matter  how  often  they  have  ap- 
peared in  other  works  on  trigonometry." 
To  return  to  our  text,  the  page  is  very 
pleasing,  and  the  illustrations  are  well 
drawn.  The  constant  emphasis  upon  all 
«ix  trigonometric  functions  instead  of  con- 
centrating upon  the  sine,  cosine,  and  tangent 
which  are  so  necessary  for  the  engineer 
seems  to  be  an  error.  Similarly  the  omis- 
sion of  any  mention  of  the  slide-rule  is 
surprising.  The  frequent  introduction  of 
unnecessary  new  formulas  seems  to  the  re- 
viewer a  fundamental  error;  thus  in  the 
triangle,  given  two  sides  and  the  included 
angle,  three  solutions  are  given,  but  the 
simplest  one  by  resolution  into  right  tri- 
angles, which  involves  no  new  formulas 
-whatever,  is  not  included.  L.  C.  K.

appeared  an  article  by  Professor  Ralph 
Van  Deman  Magoffin,  '02,  of  Johns  Hop- 
kins University,  on  "The  Modern  Making 
of  Ancient  History."  Dr.  Magoffin  has 
brought  out  the  fact  that  numismatics, 
epigraphy  and  archaeology  are  of  equal 
importance  with  other  sciences  which  are 
auxiliary  to  the  proper  understanding  of 
the  history  of  mankind,  and  that  at  the 
present  time  to  them  for  the  most  part  is 
due  the  modern  making  of  ancient  history.

which  he  returned  after  graduation,  enter- 
ing the  practice  of  law  in  the  United  States 
Court  in  Shanghai,  gives  his  discussion  of 
the  political  situation  in  the  Far  East  a 
particular  interest.

5%  On  Your  Savings 

In  investing  the  money  you  save  there  are  two  principal  things  to  be 
considered — Safety  and  Interest. 

The  First  Mortgage  Real  Estate  Bonds  sold  by  this  Company  afford  un- 
questioned safety — they  are  legal  investments  for  Trust  Funds,  and  they  pay 
5%  net  interest,  free  from  taxation,  a  higher  rate  than  can  be  obtained  else- 
where with  equal  safety. 

The  Bonds  can  be  bought  in  denominations  from  $50  to  $1,000  to  suit  your 
convenience.  Each  Bond  is  the  direct  obligation  of  the  owner  of  one  specific 
piece  of  property,  giving  the  investor  a  tangible  security. 

The  U.  of  M.  Alumni  Association  has  invested  in  these  Bonds  for  its  En- 
dowment Fund.

No.  201 


EVENT  AND  COMMENT 


From  time  immemor 

ESSORS  ORGANIZE  professor  has  been  an 
individualist.  He  has 
clung  to  his  right  to  express  his  own 
ideas  in  his  own  way.  Organization 
in  modem  life  has  gone  on  apace,  in 
colleges  and  universities  as  well  as 
elsewhere,  but  there  has  been  no  or- 
ganization which  expressed  the  opin- 
ion of  the  professorial  body  in  many 
questions  which  are  arising  under 
modem  educational  conditions.  <HTo 
meet  this  need,  professors  in  Ameri- 
can universities  have  formed  an  or- 
ganization, which  held  its  first  meet- 
ing at  the  Chemists  Club  in  New 
York  City,  January  i  and  January  2. 
A  report  of  this  meeting  by  Professor 
J.  S.  P.  Tatlock,  who  was  one  of 
Michigan's  representatives,  appears 
on  another  page.  The  introductory 
address  was  made  by  Professor  John 
Dewey,  of  Coliunbia  University,  who 
was  Professor  of  Philosophy  in  the 
University  of  Michigan  from  1889  ^^ 
1894.  flt Professor  Dewey  called  atten- 
tion to  the  fact  that  in  almost  a  single 
generation,  higher  education  in  Amer- 
ica has  undergone  a  transformation 
amounting  to  a  revolution.  Lacking 
a  minister  of  public  education  or  a 
single  tribunal  to  which  moot  ques- 
tions may  be  brought,  whatever  unity 
has  existed  has  come  through  the 
pressure  of  like  needs,  the  influence  of 
imitation  and  rivalry  among  univer- 
sities and  an  informal  exchange  of 


experience  and  ideas.  These  methods 
have  accomplished  great  things,  but 
we  have  come  to  a  time  when  it  is 
desirable  to  have  a  nation-wide  asso- 
ciation of  teachers,  which,  lacking  offi- 
cial and  administrative  power,  will 
express  the  opinion  of  the  profession 
where  it  exists,  and  foster  its  forma- 
tion where  it  does  not  exist.  Profes- 
sor Dewey  says  further: 

The  need  of  a  voluntary  organization  is 
the  greater  because  of  certain  facts  in  the 
history  of  the  American  university.  The 
rapid  growth  already  referred  to  has 
occurred  under  a  machinery  designed  for 
very  different  conditions.  We  arc  doing 
our  educational  work  under  methods  of 
control  developed  decades  ago,  before  any- 
thing like  the  existing  type  of  university 
was  thought  of.  Our  official  methods  of 
fixing  fundamental  educational  polity  as 
well  as  of  recruiting,  appointing,  pro- 
moting and  dismissing  teachers,  are  an  in- 
heritance from  bygone  conditions.  Their 
lack  of  adaptation  to  the  present  sittiation 
is  due  not  to  sinister  intent,  but  to  the  fact 
that  they  are  a  heritage  from  colonial  days 
and  provincial  habits.  The  wonder  is  not 
that  there  is  so  much  restlessness  and  fric- 
tion, but  that  there  is  not  more.  A  system 
inherently  absurd  in  the  present  situation 
has  been  made  workable  because  of  the 
reasonableness  and  good  will  of  the  gov- 
ernors on  one  side  and,  even  more,  of  the 
governed  on  the  other. 

All  the  more  need,  then,  of  ascertaining, 
precipitating  in  discussions  and  crystalliz- 
ing in  condusions  the  educational  experi- 
ences and  aspirations  of  the  scholars  of  the 
country.  I  confess  myself  unable  to  under- 
stand the  temper  of  mind  which  anticipates 
the  danger  of  what  some  term  trades-imion- 
ism  or  of  interference  with  constituted  ad- 
ministrative authorities  as  a  result  of  the 
formation  of  this  organization.    As  to  the

[February 


latter:  I  know  of  few  teachers  who  wish 
additional  administrative  work :  most  would 
be  glad  of  relief  from  duties  that  do  not 
seem  exactly  significant  and  that  are  time- 
consuming.  But  it  is  not  expedient,  in 
view  of  the  trust  committed  to  us,  to  main- 
tain a  state  of  affairs  which  makes  difficult 
or  impossible  among  college  teachers  the 
formation  and  expression  of  a  public  opin- 
ion based  on  ascertained  facts.  I  can  not 
imagine  that  existing  authorities  will  not 
welcome  the  results  of  inquiries  and  dis- 
cussion carried  on  by  a  truly  representa- 
tive body  of  teachers.  To  think  otherwise 
is  to  dishonor  both  ourselves  and  them. 
Let  me  add  that  I  can  think  of  nothing 
so  well  calculated  to  lift  discussions  of  edu- 
cational defects  and  possibilities  from  the 
plane  of  emotion  to  that  of  intelligence  as 
the  existence  of  a  truly  representative  body 
of  professors.  The  best  way  to  put  educa- 
tional principles  where  they  belong — in  the 
atmosphere  of  scientific  discussion — is  to 
disentangle  them  from  the  local  circum- 
stances with  which  they  so  easily  get  bound 
up  in  a  given  institution.  So  to  free  them 
is  already  to  have  taken  a  step  in  their 
generalization.  The  very  moment  we  free 
our  perplexities  from  their  local  setting 
they  perforce  fall  into  a  truer  perspective. 
Passion,  prejudice,  partisanship,  cowardice 
and  truculence  alike  tend  to  be  eliminated, 
and  impartial  and  objective  considierations 
to  come  to  the  front.  The  very  existence  of 
a  recognized  free  forum  of  discussion  with 
one's  fellows  gathered  from  all  parts  of  the 
country  will  make  for  sanity  and  steadi- 
ness quite  as  much  as  for  courage. 

fl[In  concluding  his  outline  upon  the 
function  of  the  organization,  Profess- 
or Dewey  disclaimed  any  special  re- 
lation of  the  proposed  Association  to 
the  question  of  academic  freedom. 
He  believes  that  existing  societies  are 
already  disposed  to  deal  with  the  rare 
cases  of  infringement  as  they  come  to 
light.  In  any  case,  the  topic  could 
not  be  more  than  an  incident  in  the 
activities  of  the  Association. 


$650,000  TO  BE 
ASKED  OF 
LEGISLATURE 


Last  month  it  was 
announced  that  the 
Regents  of  the  Uni- 
versity had  decided 
to  ask  the  state  legislature  for  an  ex- 
tra appropriation  sufficient  to  cover 
the  cost  of  an  addition  to  the  Library 
and    the   establishment    of    a    Model 


School  in  the  Department  of  Educa- 
tion. No  sum  was  fixed  at  the  Decem- 
ber meeting,  when  the  first  resolution 
was  passed,  but  at  the  January  meet- 
ing, the  report  of  which  appears  else- 
where, the  amount  to  be  asked  of  the 
State  was  fixed  at  $350,000  for  the 
Library  and  $300,000  for  the  Model 
School.  A  part  of  this  amount,  in 
each  case,  is  to  be  due  the  first  year, 
while  the  balance  is  to  be  due  the  sec- 
ond year  after  the  appropriation  is 
made,  thus  dividing  the  burden  for 
the  taxpayers  of  the  State.  (DIThe 
extreme  need  of  the  Librar>%  where 
the  reading  and  seminary  room  facili- 
ties, as  well  as  means  of  caring  for 
the  books  themselves,  are  woefully 
inadequate,  was  set  forth  in  The 
Alumnus  last  month.  We  also  at- 
tempted to  set  forth  some  of  the  reas- 
ons why  the  school  men  and  educators 
generally  in  the  State  are  advocating 
so  strongly  the  estaiblishment  of  a 
Model  School  such  as  is  contemplated 
in  the  Regents*  resolution. 


To  the  various  offi- 
SI!S2^''^™^"'-s  oi  the  Univer- 
NOMENCLATURE    sity  who  are  charged 

with  the  duty  of  edit- 
ting  the  official  publications,  as  well 
as  to  the  editor  of  The  Alumnus,  the 
action  of  the  committee  recommend- 
ing the  standardization  of  the  nomen- 
clature of  the  University  is  very  wel- 
come. Though  a  change  from  the 
Departments  of  Engineering  and  Ar- 
chitecture to  the  Colleges  of  Engineer- 
ing and  Architecture,  and  from  the 
Department  of  Law  to  the  Law 
School  may  seem  to  some  a  great 
cha^ige,  it  is  a  departure  which  has 
good  reason  in  logic  and  precedent. 
<i  For  some  time  there  has  been  a 
tendency  towards  most  of  the  changes 
which  are  recommended  in  the  re- 
port, and  which  were  authorized  and 
made  official  with  the  opening  of  the 
month    of    February,      Perhaps    the

most  important  changes  are  the  use 
of  the  term  "college"  to  those  divisions 
which  do  not  demand  previous  work 
of  a  collegiate  grade,  while  those 
which  demand  two  years  of  college 
work  are  to  be  known  as  "schools"; 
hence  "the  College  of  Li-terature, 
Science,  and  the  Arts,"  but  the  "Law 
School,"  "Medical  School,"  etc.  The 
titles  of  "Junior  Professor"  is  changed 
to  "Associate  Professor,"  and  hence- 
forth the  "Calendar"  is  to  be  known 
as  the  "Catalogue."

NOW  FOR  CLASS  which  lies  deep  on 
REUNIONS  the    ground   in    Ann 

Arbor  at  the  time  of 
this  writing  makes  June,  with  its 
Commencement  and  alumni  reunion 
festivities  seem  far  away,  the  time 
do^s  not  seem  long  to  the  seniors, 
whose  last  semester  in  college  is  just 
opening.  Likewise,  the  time  is  short 
for  those  classes  who  plan  to  hold  re- 
unions, but  who  have  as  yet  taken  no 
active  steps.  There  are  some  at  work 
already.  The  Association  has  had  word 
from  the  quarter-centennial  and  decen- 
nial classes,  '90  and  '05,  who  plan  to 
make  a  special  feature  of  the  reunion 
this  year.  Likewise,  '99  and  '00  are 
getting  up  steam,  and  there  are  doubt- 
less a  number  of  other  classes  who 
have  gone  so  far,  at  least,  as  to  get 
their  committees  together  to  prepare 
for  the  campaign.  CII,In  general,  the 
classes  which  meet  this  year  under  the 
Dix  schedule  are  the  following:  '13, 
'02,  '01,  '00,  '99,  ^83,  *82,  '81,  '80,  '64, 
'63,  '62,  '61.  In  addition  to  these,  cer- 
tain other  classes,  like  '90  and  1905 
will  meet  under  the  old  five-year  plan. 
The  program  for  the  two  alumni  days 
which  proved  so  successful  last  year 
will  be  repeated.  Class  reunions  will 
be  called  for  Reunion  Day,  Tuesday, 
June  22,  while  Wednesday,  June  23, 
will  be  the  regular  Alumni  Day.  Fur- 
ther details  of  the  program  for  the 
week  will  be  published  in  subsequent 
numbers  of  Thic  At,umnus.     Suffice 


it  to  say  that  there  will  be  a  program, 
and  an  interesting  one.  The  thing 
for  you  to  do,  if  your  class  is  to  meet 
this  year,  is  to  get  busy,  and  see  that 
vour  reunion  is  a  record-breaker. 


Most  of  us,  as  we  look 
TO  IMPROVE  UV-  back  over  our  student 
ING  CONDITIONS  life,  realize  that  liv- 
ing conditions,  par- 
ticularly for  the  non-fraternity  men, 
were  far  from  ideal,  though  we  were 
probably  not  much  disposed  to  criti- 
cise at  that  time.  While  various 
efforts  have  been  made  to  better  con- 
ditions, the  growth  of  the  University 
has  always  kept  this  problem  with  us. 
In  some  respects  conditions  have  be- 
come worse.  (HThe  old  idea  of  home 
life  for  students,  practicable  in  1855, 
when  the  present  system  was  intro- 
duced by  President  Tsippan,  following 
the  example  of  the  German  univer- 
sities, was  designed  to  relieve  the  con- 
gestion in  the  University  buildings. 
But  now  where  one  student  finds  a 
taste  of  home,  ten  are  crowded  in  one 
small  house,  ill  adapted  to  its  use  as  a 
rooming  house,  with  no  fire  protection 
whatever,  and  the  most  inadequate 
sanitary  equipment, — one  bathroom 
for  everyone  in  the  house  the  rule. 
This  is  distinctly  not  necessary,  and 
a  concerted  effort  to  better  conditions 
might  easily  bring  about  a  great 
change,  even  though  the  solution 
which  most  universities  have  found 
for  the  problem,  dormitories,  is  lack- 
ing. (II.The  efforts  of  Mrs.  Jordan, 
Dean  of  Women,  to  better  housing 
conditions  among  women  in  the  Uni- 
versity show  what  might  be  done  on 
a  larger  scale  for  the  men.  When 
Mrs.  Jordan  attacked  the  problem  of 
rooming  conditions  among  the  wom- 
en, there  was  absolutely  no  attempt 
at  regulation.  Now  the  University 
has  a  long  list  of  approved  rooming 
houses,  in  which  only  women  are  re- 
ceived. In  addition  there  are  several 
houses  which  are  practically  women's

clubs  for  the  non-sorority  women.  All 
of  these  are  approved  and  regulated 
by  the  University.  In  addition,  the  two 
new  dormitories,  the  Helen  Handy 
Newberry  and  the  Martha  Cook 
Halls  of  Residence,  which  are  rapidly 
being  completed,  will  house  one  him- 
dred  and  fifty  freshman  women,  and 
will  make  the  situation,  as  far  as  the 
women  of  the  University  are  concern- 
ed, almost  ideal.  G,  The  next  thing 
on  the  program  should  be  some  effort 
to  improve  the  general  housing  condi- 
tions for  the  men.  Likewise,  some  ef- 
fort to  regulate  and  standardize  the 
boarding  houses  of  Ann  Arbor  might 
well  be  undertaken.  Some  of  them, 
as  is  well  known,  are  excellent,  and 
furnish  good  food,  well  cooked  and 
served,  at  a  moderate  price,  but  there 
are  others  which  are  far  from  ideal. 
A  careful  survey  of  the  situation  by 
an  officer,  properly  authorized  by  the 
University  and  armed  with  sufficient 
authority,  might  help  the  situation 
matcriallv. 


In  considering  this 
WHAT  IS  BEING  question  of  housing 
DONEATCORNELLconditions    for    men, 

the  work  of  the 
Freshman  Advisory  Committee  at 
Cornell  University  has  particular  in- 
terest. In  studying  and  devising 
regulations  for  the  student  rooming 
business  in  Ithaca,  in  which  the  com- 
mittee had  the  cooperation  of  one 
member  of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  the 
committee  found  three  particular 
things  that  needed  attention,  the  work 
of  rooming  house  agents,  a  problem 
which  apparently  does  not  apply  in 
Ann  Arbor,  the  question  of  a  written 
contract  between  student  and  land- 
lady, and  the  condition  of  rooming 
houses  with  respect  to  sanitation  and 
fire  escapes.  GL  Various  forms  of  con- 
tracts were  found,  ranging  from  one 
with  this  unique  clause:  "In  order  to 
avoid  any  possible  misunderstanding 
later,  gambling,  the  bringing  in  or  use 


of  intoxicating  liquors,  or  roughhous- 
ing  will  not  be  tolerated  on  the  prem- 
ises, either  of  which  will  be  sufficient 
cause  for  request  to  vacate  but  does 
not  relieve  the  obligations,''  to  the 
other  extreme  of  a  verbal  agreement, 
in  which  the  landlady  avoids  binding 
herself  to  any  ruling  about  lights,  re- 
bates, furnishings,  privileges,  with  the 
intent,  however,  of  holding  the  fresh- 
man liable  if  he  later  desires  to  move. 
This,  of  course,  was  also  the  essence 
of  the  matter  in  the  curious  wording 
of  the  clause  quoted  above,  flt  To 
meet  the  situation,  a  standard  form 
of  lease  was  adopted,  drafted  by 
members  of  the  faculty  of  the  law 
school,  under  which  the  tenant  takes 
the  room  for  the  school  year,  the  pro- 
prietor agreeing  to  maintain  furnish- 
ings of  the  kind  and  condition  of  those 
in  the  room  at  the  date  of  contract; 
to  care  for  and  keep  clean  the  room 
and  bath ;  to  provide  sufficient  heat 
and  light,  including  adequate  light  at 
the  study  table ;  to  permit  the  reason- 
able use  of  the  proprietor's  telephone ; 
to  provide  suitable  and  sufficient  facil- 
ities for  escape  in  case  of  fire,  and  to 
prevent  unnecessary  noise.  If  the  ten- 
ant leaves  the  University  on  account 
of  illness  or  deficiency  in  university 
work,  or  for  other  good  or  sufficient 
reason,  he  is  to  pay  the  proprietor  one 
half  of  the  contract  rental  for  the  bal- 
ance of  the  current  term,  and  upon 
such  payment  the  contract  is  to  termi- 
nate. In  case  of  disagreement,  differ- 
ences are  to  be  submitted  to  a  com- 
mittee of  designated  university  offi- 
cers. A  similar  standard  contract  has 
been  under  consideration  at  Michigan 
but  has  not  as  yet  been  adopted.  (HAs 
a  result  of  investigations  and  inspec- 
tion at  Cornell,  there  was  noticed  a 
marked  improvement  in  sanitation 
and  in  the  installation  of  fire  escapes. 
In  certain  cases  where  there  was  in- 
adequate fire  protection,  the  commit- 
tee recommended  "the  installation  of 
ropes  knotted  every  two  feet  as  an  in- 
expensive   precaution,    which    would

give  fairly  adequate  protection  to  the 
student."  The  overcrowded  condition 
and  inadequate  ventilation  of  many 
houses  of  old-fashioned  construction 
was  criticised  from  the  standpoint  of 
sanitation.  The  plumbing  was  ordi- 
narily found  in  good  condition,  the 
only  positive  defect  being  too  few 
baths  for  the  number  living  there. 
This  is  a  conclusion  which  would 
probably  be  easily  applicable  to  the 
average  rooming  house  in  Ann  Arbor. 


No  question  connect- 
THE  NEED  OF  ed  with  Student  life 
ATHLETICS  as  it  IS  lived  today 
commands  more 
points  of  view  than  that  of  athletics. 
Views  range  from  those  of  a  few  who 
seem  to  believe  implicity,  if  not  explic- 
itly, that  athletics  is  the  most  import- 
ant activity  of  the  university,  to  those 
of  the  other  extreme,  who,  while  ac- 
knowledging in  theory  the  desirability 
of  bodily  exercise,  frown  upon  all  the 
forms  it  takes  in  modern  college  life. 
Then  there  are  those  who  believe  that 
there  exists  a  definite  ratio  between 
the  growth  and  prestige  of  a  univer- 
sity and  its  success  in  athletics.  A  cer- 
tain reasonableness  about  this  conten- 
tion appeals  to  the  average  man,  but 
the  "facts  seem  to  sustain  those  who 
maintain  the  opposite  view — that  ath- 
letics has  nothing  to  do  with  the  real 
growth  of  the  university.  The  curve 
of  Michigan's  attendance,  as  shown 
in  the  last  Alumnus,  certainly  does 
not  respond  in  any  direct  or  indirect 
ratio  to  her  success  or  failure  in  ath- 
letics. Likewise  the  extraordinary 
growth  of  Columbia  in  the  past  few 
years  does  not  indicate  that  a  football 
team  is  a  necessary  stimulant  to  at- 
tendance. Nor  would  even  the  most 
ardent  supporter  of  athletics  think  of 
suggesting  the  existence  of  any  ratio 
between  athletics  and  the  academic 
and  scholastic  standing  of  a  universi- 
ty.    But  whatever  one's  feelings  are 


regarding  athletics,  and  truth  lies 
surely  between  the  extremes  suggest- 
ed, none  of  us  questions  but  what,  as 
the  most  popular  of  student  activities, 
it  deserves  thoughtful  consideration, 
and  stimulation,  at  least,  in  certain  di- 
rections. This  is  particularly  true  of 
the  rather  modem  idea  of  the  develop- 
ment of  intramural  sports. 


MICHIGAN'S 

ATHLETIC 

EQUIPMENT 


There  is  no  question 
but  what  an  adequate 
athletic  equipment  is 
desirable,  and  that 
provision  should  be  made  for  growth. 
Michigan  is  fortunate  in  this  respect. 
Waterman  Gymnasium  has  until  very 
recently  been  adequate  for  the  needs 
of  our  student  body,  but  the  day  may 
come  when  everything  will  center  in 
Ferry  Field,  rather  than  in  the  gym- 
nasium, whose  present  overcrowded 
condition  might  easily  lead  to  the 
construction  of  new  and  enlarged 
quarters  at  Ferry  Field.  This  field, 
with  its  seventy-four  acres,  including 
the  forty  acres  purchased  recently,  is 
one  of  the  largest  and  best  equipped 
college  athletic  grounds  in  the  coun- 
try. Moreover  it  has  an  additional 
advantage  in  being  easily  accessible, 
less  than  four  blocks  from  the  Cam- 
pus. Its  facilities  for  handling  the 
large  crowds  at  our  big  games  are  am- 
ple, and  whenever  needed  the  second 
section  of  the  new  stadium  will  be 
built.  The  present  equipment  will 
care  for  a  crowd  of  23,000.  In  addi- 
tion, the  clubhouse  is  well  adapted  to 
be  the  center  for  the  athletic  organi- 
zations, and  for  caring  for  the  par- 
ticipants in  the  various  athletic  games. 
There  are  32  tennis  courts  and  an 
exceedingly  good  baseball  diamond, 
together  with  room  for  five  practice 
diamonds  and  three  football  fields  in 
addition  to  a  "soccer"  field.  There 
has  even  been  discussion  of  the  pur- 
chase of  the  adjacent  golf  links  from 
the  Ann  Arbor  Golf  Club.

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[February 


This  developinent  of 
DEVELOPING  Ferry  Field  is  pro- 
FERRY  FIELD  ceeding  systematical- 
ly and  in  a  large  way 
to  serve  student  athletics  at  its  best. 
The  expense  of  the  improvements,  ex- 
clusive of  the  original  gift  of  the  field 
to  the  University,  has  been  borne  out 
of  the  regular  income,  which  comes 
at  present  from  practically  two  sourc- 
es, student  fees  under  the  "blanket 
tax/'  and  general  admission  to  all  ath- 
letic events.  From  the  report  of  the 
Athletic  Association  for  the  past 
year,  as  given  on  another  page,  it  is 
shown  that  the  gross  receipts  from 
football  have  been  over  $80,000,  while 
the  disbursements  were  $50,000.  The 
income  from  student  fees  has  been 
over  $25,000.  Ver>'  nearly  $76,000 
was  paid  for  the  completed  section  of 
the  stadium.  Deducting  the  $32,000 
loan  outstanding  leaves  about  $44,000 
paid  on  the  stadium  to  date.  Another 
such  successful  season  should  pay  for 
that  portion  already  erected.  It  will 
probably  be  some  time,  however,  be- 
fore the  stadium,  as  designed,  will  be 
needed,  though  the  wooden  sections 
opposite  the  new  concrete  stands  will 
soon  have  to  be  replaced.  A  certain 
amount  of  grading  on  the  new  sec- 
tions of  the  field  will  have  to  be  done ; 
new  and  improved  tennis  courts  are 
needed;  and  perhaps  some  such  bar- 
racks, or  field  g>'mnasium,  as  was 
suggested  by  Dr.  Vaughan,  and  a 
swimming  tank,  will  prove  desirable. 
But  even  with  all  that  is  projected, 
one  can  see  an  end  to  the  great  ex- 
penditures now  necessary.  The  in- 
come promises  to  increase,  while  the 
expenditures  conceivably  may  de- 
crease. As  one  member  of  the  Board 
in  Control  has  suggested,  the  time 
may  come  when  the  completion  of 
Ferry  Field  will  reduce  materially  the 
cost  of  maintenance  of  athletics. 
Tf  such  a  time  comes,  we  may  be  able 
to  make  admission  to  the  games  only 
noniinal,  at  least  to  the  students  and 


alumni.  Such  a  happy  day  might  go 
far  toward  ending  the  present  well- 
justified  criticism  of  commercialism  in 
college  sport. 


INTRAMURAL 
SPORTS 


Most  encouraging  for 
the  future  of  athlet- 
ics in  American  col- 
lege life  is  the  growth 
of  interest  in  what  has  come  to  be 
known  as  intramural  sports.  Logical- 
ly, the  growth  of  intercollegiate  com- 
petition should  be  the  result  of  the 
competition  of  bodies  of  students 
within  the  university.  Practically,  the 
progress  has  been  from  intercollegiate 
to  intracollegiate  sports.  There  was  a 
time,  not  so  long  past,  when  the  num- 
ber of  students  who  systematically 
used  the  gymnasium,  if  there  was  any. 
or  who  took  systematic  exercise,  was 
very  small.  Interest  in  athletics  was 
confined  practically  to  the  members  of 
the  various  teams.  For  many  years 
there  has  been  a  growing  reaction 
against  this  illogical  situation.  But  it 
is  only  within  five  years  that  there 
has  been  a  definite  effort  on  the.  part 
of  many  American  universities  to  rec- 
ognize the  desirability,  officially,  of 
getting  every  student  into  the  game. 
CI,  How  effective  this  campaign  has 
become  within  five  years  is  shovTn  by 
the  report  of  the  Committee  on  the 
Encouragement  of  Intercollegiate  and 
Recreative  Sports  by  the  National 
Collegiate  Athletic  Association.  This 
conimittee  sent  out  questions  to  a 
large  number  of  universities  and  col- 
leges, receiving  one  hundred  and  fifty 
replies.  The  result  showed  that  18,- 
000  students  are  associated  with  var- 
sity teams,  as  members  or  as  substi- 
tutes, out  of  a  total  enrolment  of  iii,- 
000  male  students.  As  was  pointed 
out  by  N.  H.  Bowen,  '00,  in  The  De- 
troit Saturday  Night,  even  this  is  en- 
couraging, **and  if  the  showing  ended 
there,  advocates  of  intercollegiate 
contests     would     have     ground     for

claiming  that  these  games  are  aflfect- 
ing  a  really  respectable  proportion  of 
the  whole." 


The  number  of  those 
WHAT  HAS  BEEN  engaged  in  intramu- 
ACCOMPLISHED     ral      sports      proves 
somewhat  difficult  to 
ascertain.    Probably  45  or  40  per  cent 
is  near  the  truth.     This,  considering 
the  comparatively  recent  growth  of 
this  idea,  must  be  considered  a  satis- 
factory showing.     Not  only  has  the 
number  of  actual  participants  increas- 
ed  materially,   but,   more   important, 
the  principle  of  athletics  for  all  has 
become  recognized.    The  great  trou- 
ble everywhere,  however,  seems  to  be 
in  the  financial  support.   fl[  In  the  ta- 
ble which  accompanies  the  report,  the 
University  of  Michigan  is  shown  to 
have  4,200  male   students.     Of   this 
number,  200  are  members  of  the  vari- 
ous athletic  teams,  which  are  main- 
tained  at   a   cost   of   $15,500,    while 
1,200  students  are  interested  in  intra- 
mural athletics,  at  a  cost  of  $1,500.  In 
view  of  the  fact  that  Michigan  has 
only   had   a   Director   of    Intramural 
Sports  for  two  years,  in  the  person  of 
Floyd  A.  Rowe,  '08^,  this  showing  is 
very  satisfactory.    The  last  annual  re- 
port of  the  Athletic  Association*  also 
shows  an  increase  in  the  amount  ex- 
pended   although    the    essential    fact 
remains  that  the  University  is  spend- 
ing ten  times  as  much  money  on  the 
comparatively  few  Varsity  athletes  as 
on  the  much  larger  number  of  stu- 
dents engaged  in  general  sports.  This 
condition  probably  never  can  be  rem- 
edied entirely,  since  the  teams,  par- 
ticularly  the   football   team,   are   de- 
pended   upon    to    make    the    money 
which  maintains  the  athletic  activities 
of  the  University.    But  surely  a  larg- 
er proportion  should  be  spent  on  the 
average  student,    d.  The  trouble  has 
been,  as  the  report  of  the  Committee 
suggests,  that  everywhere  there  has 
been    no    constructive    plan    adopted 


from  the  beginning.  The  professors, 
regents,  trustees  and  other  authorities 
of  our  universities  have  not  imder- 
stood  the  situation,  and  have  allowed 
the  students  themselves,  in  the  great 
majority  of  cases,  to  inaugurate  and 
build  up  the  department  of  college  life 
which  should  long  ago  have  been,  and 
^vill  one  day  be,  universally  recog- 
nized as  an  absolute  necessity  and  a 
vital  part  of  every  educational  insti- 
tution. With  this  view,  the  report 
suggests  that  intracoUegiate  sport  and 
recreation  should  be  planned  with  the 
constant  purpose  in  view  of  making 
them  useful  in  after  life.  Tennis, 
bowling,  dancing,  fencing,  wrestling, 
boxing  and  walking  are  forms  of  ex- 
ercise which  are  apt  to  stay  with  a 
man  after  he  has  left  college,  if  he 
once  becomes   thoroughly  interested. 


While  the  principal 
J2^,^^,^  duties  of  the  Alumni 
A  NEW  BUSINESS  ^Association,  as  we 
conceive  them,  are  to 
publish  Thr  Alumnus,  and  get  it  in- 
to the  hands  of  as  many  readers  as 
possible,  to  keep  in  touch  with  the  lo- 
cal alumni  associations  and  to  assist 
in  the  organization  of  classes,  bring- 
ing-as  many  back  for  occasional  re- 
unions as  is  possible,  there  are  many 
other  opportunities  for  service  which 
present  themselves  to  an  organization 
such  as  the  Alumni  Association.  Of 
late  there  has  been  a  strong  demand 
for  the  assistance  of  the  General  As- 
sociation in  arranging  the  program 
for  the  local  alumni  meetings.  (S.  One 
request,  which  has  come  repeatedly, 
is  for  moving  picture  films  of  life  in 
Ann  Arbor  and  scenes  about  the  Uni- 
versity. In  answer  to  this  demand, 
the  Alumni  Association  has  purchas- 
ed three  films  for  use  by  local  alumni 
associations.  These  films  show  Pres-

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[February 


the  annual  tug  of  war  across  the  Hu- 
ron between  the  freshman  and  soph- 
omore classes,  as  well  as  the  pushball 
contest  on  Ferry  Field  and  the  relay 
obstacle  races  between  the  two  class- 
es. The  seniors  are  shown  as  they 
form  in  line  and  start  on  their  annual 
swingout  in  the  spring,  while  the  pag- 
eant of  Jeanne  d'Arc,  given  by  the 
Woman's  League,  is  also  reproduced 
for  the  benefit  of  the  alumni.  Anoth- 
er film  shows  the  cheering  crowd 
speeding  the  team  to  the  game 
at  Cambridge,  and  a  number  of 
incidents  in  the  Stadium  and  on 
the  trip.  Some  exciting  moments 
in  the  Pennsylvania  game  are  also  re- 
produced, including  a  touchdown 
within  ten  feet  of  the  camera.  Maul- 
betsch's  work  in  the  Cornell  game  is 
also  shown  to  advantage.  flL  These 
films  have  been  selected  as  subjects 
particularly  interesting  to  the.  alumni, 
and  will  be  rented  to  any  local  asso- 
ciation which  desires  them.  The  Gen- 
eral Association  is  unable  to  send 
them  free,  as  it  would  like  to  do,  ow- 
ing to  the  initial  expense  of  the  films, 
but  if  a  sufficient  number  of  associa- 
tions desire  to  use  them,  the  expense 
will  not  be  large.  For  the  present,  it 
will  have  to  be  $25.00  to  each  associa- 
tion for  one  evening's  use  of  the  films. 
If,  as  seems  extremely  likely,  enough 
associations  desire  them,  the  price 
will  be  reduced  very  materially,  in  the 
form  of  a  rebate  to  associations  which 
have  already  paid  the  higher  price. 
If  the  enterprise  proves  successful, 
the  Association  plans  to  purchase  new 
films  occasionally,  thus  keeping  up  to 
date  this  method  of  bringing  the  Uni- 
versity to  the  alumni.

Northwestern  and  Michigan,  held  its 
seventeenth  annual  series  of  debates 
on  January  fifteenth.    They  resulted 


in  victories  for  the  three  affirmative 
teams  supporting  the  preposition: 
"Resolved,  That  the  Monroe  Doctrine 
as  developed  and  applied  by  the  Uni- 
ted States  should  be  abandoned  as  a 
part  of  our  foreign  poHcy."  Michi- 
gan defeated  Chicago  at  Ann  Arbor 
by  a  2  to  I  decision,  lost  to  North- 
western at  Evanston  3  to  o,  and  Chi- 
cago won  from  Northwestern  at  Chi- 
cago 2  to  I.  Northwestern  thus  leads 
the  league  for  the  year  with  four 
judges'  votes,  Chicago  is  second  and 
Michigan  third.  The  Michigan  team 
which  upheld  the  affirmative  consist- 
ed of  I.  Becker,  law  '17,  Chicago;  H. 
R.  Miller,  law  '17,  Chicago;  and  H. 

D.  Parker,  law  '16,  Kankakee,  IlL 
The  negative  was  supported  by  Sam- 
uel Witting,  '15,  Bottineau,  N.  D.;  J. 
A.  Phelps,  law  '15,  Golconda,  111.;  and 
H.  D.  Oppenheimer,  '16  law,  St.  Jos- 
eph, Mo.  Each  debater  will  receive 
a  $50  testimonial  provided  by  Mr.  R. 

E.  Olds  of  Lansing  and  a  medal  given 
by  Mrs.  Alger  as  a  memorial  to  the 
late  Senator  Russell  A.  Alger.  The 
debaters  are  admitted  into  member- 
ship of  the  Delta  Sigma  Rho,  the  na- 
tional oratorical  fraternity,  flt  The 
principal  arguments  by  which  the  de- 
cisions were  won  and  lost  were  the 
follijwing:  The  affirmative  contended 
that  the  Monroe  Doctrine  should  be 
abandoned  because  it  had  changed 
with  the  years  from  a  policy  of  pro- 
tection to  one  of  unjustifiable  aggres- 
sion, that  it  had  become  a  mere  cloak 
for  supremacy  over  the  South  Amer- 
ican countries  and  that  the  abandon- 
ment of  the  doctrine  would  be  bene- 
ficial to  all  nations  concerned.  The 
suspicion  and  hostility  of  the  coun- 
tries south  of  us  would  be  removed, 
and  better  political  and  commercial 
relations  established.  The  South 
American  republics  were  declared  to 
be  capable  of  taking  care  of  them- 
selves and  any  danger  from  the  na- 
tions of  Europe  could  be  frustrated 
under  the  provisions  of  international 
law.      Northwestern    suggested    the

BUILDINGS  the    growth    of    the 

University  during 
the  past  few  years  has  been  the  in- 
creased enrolment  in  scientific  cours- 
es. Particularly  is  this  true  of  the 
Department  of  Chemistry,  which  al- 
ready fills  the  new  building  completed 
five  years  ago.  The  reason  for  the 
growth  of  this  Department,  aside 
from  the  natural  increase  of  the  Uni- 
versity, lies  probably  in  the  greater 
interest  which  science  has  for  the 
modem  student,  as  well  as  the  in- 
creasing use  of  chemistry  in  all  the 
fields  of  modern  industrial  life.  fl[  No 
better  evidence  of  this  change  is  pos- 
sible than  the  accompanying  photo- 
graph, which  shows  the  University's 


Chemistry  Building  of  1856,  and  the 
present  building,  side  by  side  and  on 
the  same  scale.  The  tiny  building  in- 
serted in  the  photograph  of  the  pres- 
ent Chemistry  Building  was  author- 
ized by  the  Regents  in  May,  1856, 
and  was  completed  in  the  fall  of  the 
same  year,  at  a  total  cost  of  $3,450. 
Though  the  original  outlines  are  en- 
tirely lost,  it  is  still  in  use  as  part  of 
the  north  end  of  the  old  Chemistry 
Building,  now  devoted  to  Economics 
and  Physiology.  The  original  build- 
ing has  been  built  around  on  every 
side,  so  that  nothing  but  a  few  of  the 
original  foundations  remain.  Even  the 
original  entrance  which  remained  up 
to  19TI  was  removed  when  the  north 
wing  of  the  old  chemistry  building 
was  remodeled  for  the  Department  of 
Physiology.

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[February 


new  course?  which  was  approved  by 
the  Regents  at  their  May  meeting,  is 
particularly  designed  for  students  who 
wish  to  prepare  themselves  for  pro- 
fessional work  in  Chemistry.  To  that 
end,  a  course  of  studies  has  been  ar- 
ranged that  begins  with  the  first 
year,  when  courses  in  mathemat- 
ics, German,  rhetoric  and  Chemistry 
are  required.  Physics  is  introduced 
in  the  second  year,  while  the  third 
and  fourth  year  work  is  largely 
made  up  of  courses  in  Chemistry, 
with  the  exception  of  twelve  hours  of 
electives  each  year.  Professor  E.  D. 
Campbell,  who,  in  addition  to  being 
Professor  of  Chemistry  and  Director 
of  the  Chemical  Laboratory,  has  also 
for  the  past  sixteen  years  been  head 
of  the  Department  of  Chemical  En- 
gineering, will  be  in  charge  of  the 
new  course.  CH  Professor  Campbell 
has,  however,  resigned  as  head  of  the 
Department  of  Chenrical  Engineering 
in  favor  of  Professor  Alfred  H. 
White,  remaining  Professor  of  Chem- 
istry and  Director  of  the  Chemical 
Laboratory  and  devoting  all  his  time 
to  building  up  the  new  course,  which 
promises  to  be  a  popular  one.  It  is 
designed  to  fill  as  definite  a  place  in 
the  program  of  work  offered  by  the 
University  as  the  course  in  Chemical 
Engineering,  in  which  thirty-five  stu- 
dtns  last  year  received  the  degree  of 
B.S.  in  Chemical  Engineering.  The 
new  course  will  give  the  degree  of  B.S. 
in  Chemistry. 


EVENT  IN  BRIEF 

Sir  Jagadis  Chunder  Bose,  a  plant 
physiologist  and  professor  in  the 
Presidency  College,  of  Calcutta,  In- 
dia, spent  some  time  early  in  Febru- 
ary in  Ann  Arbor,  as  the  guest  of 
Professor  F.  C.  Newcombe,  of  the 
Department  of  Botany.  Professor 
and  Mrs.  Bose  visited  in  Ann  Arbor 
about  eight  years  ago,  when  Dr.  Bose 
gave  two  lectures  before  the  Faculty 
and  students. 


A  course  in  Practical  Journalism 
will  be  given  during  the  second  se- 
mester by  Mr.  Lyman  L.  Bryson,  'lo, 
of  the  Rhetoric  Department.  The 
course  will  deal  with  the  practical  side 
of  the  woric,  and  is  intended  primarily 
for  students  who  intend  to  adopt  it  as 
a  profession. 

With  the  objects  of  binding  together 
men  from  the  Northwest,  and  of  pro- 
moting the  interests  of  the  University 
by  working  with  the  various  local 
alumni  associations  in  that  part  of 
the  country,  students  from  Oregon, 
Washington  and  Idaho  met  at  the 
Union  on  January  12,  and  organized 
the  Northwestern  Club.  Ofiicers  were 
elected  as  follows :  William  E.  Smith, 
'i^d,  Bremerton,  Wash.,  president; 
and  Harry  C.  Cowan,  *i6m,  Walla 
Walla,  Wash.,  vice-president. 

Professor  David  Friday,  of  the 
Economics  Department  of  the  Uni- 
versity, spdce  before  the  Michigan 
State  Tax  Association  in  Detroit  on. 
January  29.  He  urged  the  substitu- 
tion of  a  personal  income  tax  for  the 
personal  tax  now  levied  by  the  State, 
calling  the  present  system  now  in  use 
in  Michigan  a  farce.  A  one  per  cent 
tax  on  incomes  of  $1,200,  and  five  per 
cent  on  incomes  of  $5,000,  with  a 
maximum  rate  for  incomes  of  $10,000 
and  over  was  suggested  as  a  method 
that  would  be  equitable  for  all. 

Nathan  E.  Pinney,  '16,  of  Ann  Ar- 
bor, was  awarded  first  place  in  the 
University  Peace  Contest,  held  on 
Friday  evening,  January  8,  with  his 
oration,  "The  American  Conquest  of 
Europe."  Second  honors  went  to  Roy 
R.  Fellers,  '15,  of  Coleman,  whose 
subject  was  "Europe  and  Armed 
Peace."  Mr.  Pinney  will  represent 
the  University  in  the  State  contest, 
which  is  to  be  held  in  Ann  Arbor  on 
March  29.  The  other  contestants 
were  Charles  H.  Ross,  '16.  Troy, 
Ohio ;  A.  P.  Bogue,  and  S.  J.  Skinner.

dent Affairs,  and  Richard  C.  Jeter, 
Jr.,  '16^,  Aiken,  S.  Car.,  general  chair- 
man of  the  Junior  Hop  Committee, 
advising  them  of  the  limits  within 
which  they  wished  the  festivities  at 
house  parties  to  be  kept.  It  was  ask- 
ed that  all  entertainments  at  the  dif- 
ferent fraternities  and  house  clubs  be 
concluded  not  later  than  midnight, 
and  that  undue  excess,  both  in  man- 
ner and  expense,  be  avoided.  It  was 
also  suggested  that  every  club  giving 
a  house  party  should  have  at  least  one 
chaperone  from  among  the  wives  of 
University  officers  or  of  other  resi- 
dents in  Ann  Arbor.  The  attention 
of  the  various  clubs  was  also  called  to 
the  fact  that  all  house  parties  were  to 
begin  not  earlier  than  the  Friday 
morning  of  the  Hop,  and  to  close  not 
later  than  the  following  Sunday  af- 
ternoon.

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[February 


An  exhibition  of  paintings  by  Chi- 
cago artists  was  held  in  January  in 
Alumni  Memorial  Hall,  under  the  au- 
spices of  the  Ann  Arbor  Art  Associa- 
tion. The  exhibit  consisted  of  about 
forty-five  paintings  from  the  collec- 
tion of  the  Chicago  Society  of  Artists, 
and  included  examples  of  the  work  of 
Gardner  Symons,  Adam  Emory  Al- 
bright and  Elizabeth  K.  Peyraud. 

Practically  the  entire  third  floor  of 
the  Delta  Chi  fraternity  house,  733 
South  State  Street,  was  destroyed  by 
fire,  probably  started  by  a  defective 
chimney,  which  broke  out  early  in  the 
afternoon  of  Saturday,  January  9. 
The  loss  is  estimated  at  42,000.  In 
addition  to  the  destruction  of  the 
third  floor,  where  the  dormitory  was 
located,  the  greater  part  of  the  fur- 
nishings and  decorations  on  the  floor 
below  was  seriously  damaged  by 
water.  Work  on  repairing  and  re- 
modeling the  house  was  started  at 
once. 

The  College  of  Engineering  has  re- 
cently issued  a  University  Bulletin 
entitled  "Courses  in  Highway  Engi- 
neering," which  contains  a  history  of 
road  construction,  a  description  of 
courses  which  the  University  offers 
in  this  and  allied  subjects,  a  descrip- 
tion of  the  laboratories  and  labora- 
tory equipment,  and  a  reference  to  the 
short  course  in  highway  engineering 
which  is  to  be  given  during  the  week 
of  February  15.  One  of  the  features 
of  the  course  will  be  an  exhibit  of  the 
occurrence  of  roadmaking  materials 
in  Michigan,  while  especial  attention 
will  be  given  to  the  operation  of  the 
highway  laboratory  and  to  laboratory 
tests.  As  was  announced  in  last 
month's  Alumnus,  the  course  is  to 
be  open  to  engineers,  highway  com- 
missioners, and  other  officials  engag- 
ed in  the  improvement  of  roads  and 
streets  in  Michigan.  There  will  be  no 
charge  pf  any  kind  in  connection  with 
the  course. 


Work  on  the  seven  new  fireproof 
vaults  in  the  rear  of  the  stacks  on  the 
second  floor  of  the  University  Libra- 
ry has  been  progressing  rapidly,  and 
it  is  expected  that  they  will  be  ready 
for  use  within  a  short  time.  The 
vaults  are  constructed  of  metallic  lath 
and  plaster,  and  in  them  will  be  kept 
the  rare  and  valuable  books  in  the 
possession  of  the  Library. 

Beginning  with  the  second  semester 
of  the  present  year.  Professor  G.  W. 
Dowrie,  of  the  Economics  Depart- 
ment, will  give  a  three  hour  course  in 
Current  Economic  Problems.  The 
new  course  is  offered  in  response  to  a 
demand  on  the  part  of  upper  classmen 
who  have  time  for  only  one  or  two 
courses  in  economics,  and  will  be  a 
continuation  of  the  first  semester 
course  in  Economic  Principles. 

Three  of  the  four  members  of  the 
Board  of  Directors  of  the  Athletic 
Association,  chosen  on  January  16, 
proved  a  few  days  after  the  election 
to  have  been  ineligible  under  the  fac- 
ulty rulings  when  elected.  These  were 
the  treasurer,  T.  Hawley  Tapping, 
'16/,  Peoria,  111.;  the  secretary,  Philip 
H.  Middleditch,  '16^,  Petoskey;  and 
the  football  manager,  Joseph  H.  Fee, 
'17/,  Detroit,  who  is  absolutely  unable 
to  fill  his  position,  owing  to  scholastic 
difficulties.  It  is  understood  that  by 
the  second  semester  Mr.  Tapping  and 
Mr.  Middleditch  may,  by  a  special 
faculty  ruling,  be  eligible  to  fill  their 
respective  positions.  Two  of  the  eight 
assistants  to  the  interscholastic  and 
football  managers  were  also  declared 
ineligible  at  the  time  of  their  election, 
and  will  not  be  able  to  serve.  They 
were  Edward  H.  Shepherd,  '17,  Char- 
lotte, assistant  to  the  football  mana- 
ger, and  Roger  W.  Thompson,  '16^, 
Jackson,  assistant  to  the  interscholas- 
tic manager.  A  method  of  filling  the 
offices  thus  left  vacant  has  not  yet 
been  decided  upon  by  the  Athletic  As- 
sociation authorities.

Richard  C.  Jeter,  Jr.,  *i6^,  of  Aik- 
en, S.  Car.,  general  chairman  of  the 
Hop  Committee,  led  the  grand  march 
at  the  Junior  Hop,  held  February  5, 
with  Miss  Helen  Anne  Opperman,  of 
vSaginaw,  as  his  partner. 

According  to  the  inventory  filed 
with  the  Board  of  Regents  at  its  meet- 
ing on  January  21,  University  prop- 
erty is  now  valued  at  the  sum  of  $5,- 
844,601.01.  The  buildings  are  placed 
at  $3428,523.33 ;  the  equipment  at 
$1,934,421.79;  and  real  estate  at 
$481,655.89.  These  figures  are  ac- 
'cording  to  the  books  on  June  30,  1914. 

Many  requests  have  come  to  the 
Alumni  Association  for  the  new 
Alumni  Button,  a  reproduction  of 
which,  showing  the  exact  size,  is  given 
herewith.  Heretofore  these  buttons 
have  been  given  only  to  those  alumni 


who  attended  the  Commencement 
exercises  and  class  reunions  in  June, 
and  were  paid  up  members  of  the 
Association.  They  have  proved  so 
popular,  however,  that  the  Associa- 
tion is  now  prepared  to  furnish  them 
to  any  alumnus  at  the  nominal  price 
of  twenty-five  cents.  They  have  also 
been  made  up  in  the  form  of  stick 
pins  at  the  same  price. 

Professor  Francis  W.  Kelsey,  of 
the  Latin  Department,  left  during 
the  latter  part  of  January  for  Italy, 
to  supervise  the  division  of  the  library 
of  the  late  Thomas  Spencer  Jerome, 
'84,  part  of  which  was  willed  to  the 
University.  The  executors  of  the  es- 
tate have  also  requested  Professor 
Kelsey  to  secure  a  manuscript  upon 
which  Mr.  Jerome  had  worked  for 
many  years  before  his  death.  He 
plans  to  bring  it,  with  several  others 
of  less  importance,  to  this  country, 
where  they  can  be  put  in  final  form 


for  the  printer.  Professor  Kelsey 
will  go  directly  to  the  Island  of  Capri, 
where  Mr.  Jerome  made  his  home  for 
a  number  of  years  before  his  death, 
and  will  not  return  until  the  latter 
part  of  March.  The  library  consists 
of  over  S,ooo  volumes,  the  greater 
number  of  which  go  to  the  University 
and  to  the  American  Academy  in 
Rome. 

Many  alumni  will  undoubtedly  be 
interested  to  know  that  Dr.  Fleming 
Carrow,  A.M.  (hon.)  '03,  who  was 
Professor  of  Ophthalmic  and  Aural 
Surgery  and  Clinical  Ophthalmology 
in  the  University  from  1889  to  1904, 
now  has  a  very  successful  fruit  farm 
of  fifty-one  acres  four  miles  from 
Traverse  City.  Dr.  Carrow  has  been 
especially  interested  in  cultivating  the 
chestnut,  and  his  exhibit  at  the  recent 
annual  apple  show  of  the  Traverse 
City  Bank  attracted  a  great  deal  of 
attention.  It  is  said  that  the  nuts 
were  larger  and  better  than  any  ever 
before  seen  in  that  district. 

Dr.  Victor  C.  Vaughan,  Dean  of 
the  School  of  Medidne,  with  Dr.  Jo- 
seph Goldberger,  Surgeon,  United

THE  AMERICAN  ASSOCIATION  OF  UNIVERSITY  AND  COLLEGE 
PROFESSORS 

About  two  years  ago  it  seemed  good  to  a  number  of  American  pro- 
fessors, especially  at  Johns  Hopkins  University,  to  consider  forming  an 
association  of  college  teachers,  with  a  view  to  defining,  conserving  and  pro- 
moting the  ideals  of  the  profession.  Accordingly  these  men  associated  with 
themselves  a  number  of  others  (making  thirty-four  in  all),  representing  var- 
ious sections  of  the  country  and  the  several  fields  of  learning;  published 
tentative  accounts  of  their  purposes  in  Science,  27  March,  1914,  and  The 
Nation,  26  March,  1914,  and  held  several  preliminary  meetings.  To  secure 
a  worthy  and  representative  charter-membership,  each  member  of  the  organ- 
izing committee  was  asked  to  send  in  two  selected  Hsts  of  full  professors 
who  were  to  receive  first  invitations, — one  of  men  in  his  own  subject  of  study 
throughout  the  country,  the  other  of  men  in  his  own  university ;  this  latter 
list,  in  the  case  of  Michigan,  was  prepared  by  the  Michigan  members  of  the 
organizing  committee.  Professors  Hobbs  and  Tatlock,  with  the  advice  of  a 
dozen  other  professors.  All  men  on  either  list  (from  all  but  the  smallest 
institutions)  were  invited,  Michigan  (with  some  sixty  invitations)  naturally 
standing  among  the  first  universities  as  to  number.  Some  six  hundred  and 
fifty  replied  encouragingly. 

The  opening  meeting  in  New  York  City,  January  i  and  2,  an  account 
of  which  has  appeared  in  Science  (29  Jan.,  1915),  was  a  gratifying  success, 
attended  by  over  two  hundred  and  fifty  men  from  every  part  of  the  countr\' 
and  representing  every  department  of  study,  including  such  leading  men  as 
Royce,  Jastrow,  West,  Etewey,  Bright,  Harrison,  Capps,  Bloomfield.  A 
letter  of  benediction  was  read  from  the  patriarch  of  Ajncrican  scholarship. 
Basil  Gildersleeve.  The  Michigan  contingent  was  Professors  Guthe,  Phil- 
lips, Pillsbury,  Sanders,  Scott,  A.  W.  Smith,  and  others.  Dean  Guthe  gave 
one  of  the  three  admirable  opening  addresses.  No  difference  of  opinion 
appeared  as  to  the  desirability  and  importance  of  the  proposed  organization, 
and  with  remarkable  expedition,  considering  all  the  debate  as  to  details,  a 
constitution  was  adopted  and  officers  elected.  The  chief  difference  of  opin- 
ion developed  as  to  who  should  be  eligible  to  membership ;  since  the  problems 
to  be  considered  are  those  which  confront  the  teaching  staff,  it  was  decided, 
logically  enough,  to  confine  membership  to  those  who  devote  at  least  a  sub- 
stantial amount  of  their  time  to  teaching  and  research.  Otherwise  the  door 
is  wide  open ;  any  man  identified  with  the  profession  a  sufficient  length  of 
time  may  be  proposed  by  any  three  members,  and  passed  upon  by  the  Coun- 
cil and  the  next  annual  meeting.  Among  the  officers  Michigan  is  well  rep- 
resented. On  the  Council  (of  thirty  members)  are  W.  H.  Hobbs,  now  Pro- 
fessor of  Geology;  C.  M.  Gayley,  '78,  of  California;  George  Dock,  of  St. 
Louis ;  the  president  is  John  Dewey,  of  Columbia,  and  the  treasurer  J.  C. 
Rolfe,  of  Pennsylvania,  (the  last  four  being  formerly  of  our  Faculty).  The 
name  adopted  is  that  heading  this  article.  Meetings  will  be  held  annually, 
perhaps  alternately  in  New  York  and  Chicago;  there  may  perhaps  also  be 
local  organizations,  and  a  periodical.

240  THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS  [February 

The  chief  thing  to  make  clear  is  the  purpose  and  spirit  of  the  organiza- 
tion. The  wonder  is  that  it  was  not  established  long  ago ;  university  presi- 
dents, deans,  secretaries,  registrars  and  alumni  secretaries  have  long  had 
their  organizations ;  indeed  college  professors  must  be  the  only  considerable 
body  of  men  in  the  country  who  have  no  professional  organ  of  debate  and 
self-expression,  for  the  various  learned  societies  of  which  they  are  members 
represent  them  not  as  professors,  but  rather  as  scientific  men, — chemists,  phil- 
ologists and  the  like.  The  American  Bar  and  Medical  Associations  have  been 
fruitful  of  good.  But  the  Association  was  not  founded  for  its  own  sake; 
rather,  in  the  words  of  its  constitution,  "to  facilitate  a  more  effective  co- 
operation among  teachers  in  universities  and  colleges  for  the  promotion  of 
the  interests  of  higher  education  and  research  in  the  United  States,  and  for 
the  methodical  examination  and  discussion  of  questions  relating  to  educa- 
tion in  higher  institutions  of  learning ;  to  provide  means  for  the  expression 
of  the  collective  judgment  of  college  and  university  teachers  upon  such  ques- 
tions; and  in  general  to  increase  the  usefulness  and  maintain  and  advance 
the  standards  and  ideals  of  the  profession.'*  While  universities  have  been 
always,  and  properly,  the  home  of  individualism,  for  the  very  reason  of  their 
tendency  to  individualism,  university  professors  will  be  none  the  worse  for 
a  slight  admixture  of  professionalism,  and  are  in  little  danger  of  getting 
too  much.  It  cannot  hamper  liberty  to  talk  over  common  problems  and 
formulate  common  ideals ;  indeed,  there  have  been  times  in  history  when  in- 
dividualists have  had  to  combine  to  defend  their  individualism.  There  have 
been  cases  even  in  American  universities  where  personal  liberty  and  conscience 
have  been  violated  by  autocratic  authority.  But  investigation  of  such  cases 
would  be  an  exceptional  function  of  the  Association.  That  there  are  many 
subjects  needing  conference  and  debate  is  shown  by  the  deluge  of  subjects 
suggested  for  discussion  at  the  next  meeting.  Among  them  were, — the  rela- 
tion of  the  Carnegie  Foundation  to  the  universities,  methods  of  assigning 
fellows-hips  and  selecting  instructors,  migration  of  graduate  students,  the 
relation  of  undergraduate  to  graduate  instruction,  that  of  teaching  to 
research,  certain  matters  of  professional  etiquette.  It  will  be  seen  that  the 
Association  is  in  no  sense  a  self-seeking  or  trouble-breeding  body ;  but  aims 
to  raise  standards,  effectiveness,  professional  dignity  and  honor  among  the 
chief  promotors  of  the  advancement  of  learning  throughout  the  country, 
the  men  whose  task  it  is  to  teach  the  teachers  and  to  produce  enlightened 
citizens.

WORD  FROM  PROFESSOR  TALAMON 

Several  Ann  Arbor  friends  of  Professor  Rene  Talamon,  of  the  Depart- 
ment of  French,  who  is  now  a  second  lieutenant  in  the  French  Army,  have 
received  letters  from  him  since  he  was  called  to  the  colors  last  August.  Pro- 
fessor Talamon  has  been  training  recruits  at  Falaise  practically  all  the  time 
since  the  beginning  of  the  war,  and  has  been  advanced  from  a  corporalship 
to  his  present  commission  as  second  lieutenant.  Although  his  letters  natural- 
ly have  very  little  to  say  about  the  condition  of  the  armies  at  the  front  or  of

conditions  of  France  generally,  the  following  passages  will  be  of  interest 
to  his  friends  :* 

August  20, 

"What  a  niglitmare !  You  know  the  general  news,  so  Til  begin  by  telling  you  about 
myself.  I  left  the  third  day  of  mobilization  for  Falaise,  and  there  to  my  great  sur- 
prise I  was  placed  in  a  Compagnie  de  Dipot  whose  duty  is  to  see  that  things  go  on 
properly  at  Falaise — transportation,  equipment,  etc.  We  have  already  taken  care  of 
two  regiments  and  seen  them  off  and  now  we  are  waiting.  Some  of  us  are  to  remain 
very  likely  to  drill  the  young  recruits  who  are  coming — others  are  surely  going  to  be 
called  to  the  line  to  fill  up  the  gaps.  We  are  waiting  orders.  Life  here  is  calm— you 
known,  fair  Normandy— the  little  old  town  is  funny  and  with  all  the  soldiers  filling 
up  the  streets  and  crowding  the  cafes  you  would  think  you  were  right  in  the  midst 
of  the  great  manoeuvres.  Lots  of  jollity — "pep" — ^and  joking.  We  run  to  get  the 
news.  We  discuss  it.  We  weigh  the  chances  we  have  for  leaving — we  want  to  leave 
— ^we  get  a  little  bored  and  weary  here." — **If  you  were  here  you  see  me  having  a 
jolly  time  with  my  fellow  'sous-offf — but  each  one  has  behind  him  some  frightful 
tragedy.  But  we  have  confidence,  we  are  waiting,  we  live.  ♦  »  ♦  Really  would  you 
have  thought  this  war  possible?    I  cannot  believe  it  yet." 

More  than  once  he  expresses  the  wish  to  get  to  the  front.  He  has  con- 
fidence in  the  outcome,  but  realizes  that  it  will  be  a  long,  slow  and  tedious 
process  to  bring  the  war  to  a  conclusion. 

October  12, 

I  am  still  at  Falaise.  I  have  not  left  it  at  all.  We  are  quartered  for  the  time 
being  outside  of  Falaise  in  a  pretty  little  spot — and  we  are  living  a  quiet  and  monot- 
onous life — ^but  full  of  expectancy  for  you  know  these  Compaguies  de  Dipot  have  as 
their  special  purpose  to  bring  the  men  together  in  squads,  train  them,  equip  them,  and 
send  them  off.  We  have  already  sent  away  six  batches.  It  is  only  at  the  very  last 
moment  that  the  authorities  annoimce  that  a  group  is  to  be  sent.  Today  there  was 
one  such  announcement.  Then  every  one  rushes  about;  the  great  question  is:  who 
is  going?  With  every  squad  sent  away  one  or  two  sergeants  are  picked  out  by  senior- 
ity and  that  is  why  I  am  one  of  the  last  to  go  as  I  belong  to  the  last  class  of  the 
reserve.  But  in  spite  of  that  there  may  come  at  any  moment  an  order  for  all  to  go 
so  our  life  though  hum-drum  has  a  something  piquant  about  it.  This  word  'leave,* 
rings  constantly  in  our  ears.  Every  one  on  the  jump  with  expectancy.  In  spite  of 
all  that  we  are  a  very  happy,  jolly  crowd  of  sergeants  here — we  treat  our  comrade 
who  is  about  to  leave  and  each  awaits  his  own  turn.  Meanwhile  we  are  serving  away 
from  the  battle  line  and  playing  bridge — ^there  are  three  good  players  and  I  am  going 
to  make  progress— You'll  see  that  this  winter?— spring?— summer?— autumn?  Who 
can  tell  within  a  year  how  long  this  nightmare  is  going  to  last.  Remember  we  know 
very  likely  still  less  than  you — ^you  read  of  course  the  French  papers — we  don't  see 
anything  else.  You  must  have  news  from  Germany  too.  Send  me  some  American 
papers. 

While  I  am  writing  these  lines  a  sergeant  stops  to  say  that  there  is  to  be  a 
special  dispatch  of  sergeants  to  the  front — ^they  are  to  be  made  officers.  These  poor  ■ 
officers  of  ours  are  dropping  off  fast.  Did  you  see  about  the  death  of  poor  little  T, 
a  beautiful  death — it's  the  first  one  that  came  at  all  close  to  me — and  still  I  have  many 
relatives  and  friends  under  fire  naturally — ^but  thus  far  no  bad  news.  That  infernal 
battle  of  the  Aisne  is  most  nerve-racking.  When  you  get  this  letter  I  trust  it  will  have 
passed  into  history  but  what  will  be  the  sequel  ?    We  are  naturally  optimistic  here. 

*  Since  the  above  letters  were  received,  word  has  come  that  Professor  Talamon 
was  sent  to  the  front  on  January  10,  and  that  he  is  now  in  the  trenches  near  Amiens. 
He  writes  that  if  it  were  not  for  the  painful  separation  he  would  thoroughly  enjoy  his 
entirely  new  occupation.  He  is  now  with  officers  who  have  been  at  the  front  since  the 
beginning  of  the  war.  Pictures  of  life  in  the  trenches  are  not  in  the  least  exaggerated 
in  the  newspaper  accounts,  he  writes.    The  spirit  shown  is  wonderful.

242  THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS  [February 

December  22, 

I  should  liave  written  long  since — ^but  my  time  and  thoughts  are  not  absolutely 
my  own.  Christmas  this  week  and  I  realize  I  have  written  to  no  one.  Tell  all  I  have 
been  thinking  of  them  a  great  deal  this  week  but  Christmas  cards  and  the  war  don't 
go  very  well  together.  My  Christmas  will  be  very  quiet.  We  have  just  settled  down 
for  the  winter.  I  have  been  promoted  sous-lieutenant  (2d  lieutenant)  and  am  to  take 
part  in  drilling  the  class  of  1915.  Poor  lads — ^they  have  been  coming  in  yesterday  and 
today — ^and  in  three  months  they  must  be  men  ready  to  fight.  Really  during  these 
first  four  months  I  scarcely  really  lived — ^and  America  seemed  far  away.  But  the 
other  day  I  was  able  to  take  a  little  trip  to  Paris — see  my  people  and  that  made  me 
remember  that  there  was  some  place  else  beside  Falaise — ^and  the  firing  line  where 
men  are  slain.    Remember  me  to  all  who  have  not  forgotten  me. 

In  a  letter  to  Professor  Canfield,  of  the  Department  of  French,  Pro- 
fessor Talamon  says :  "It  is  difficult  for  me  to  imagine  a  normal  course  of 
life,  even  though  Paris,  as  a  matter  of  fact,  does  not  appear  greatly  changed. 
The  boulevards  are  still  very  animated — no  autobusses,  but  plenty  of  taxis. 
I  had  the  great  pleasure  of  seeing  "our  Joflfre"  coming  out  from  his  home 
calmly  and  peacefully  after  a  good  New  Year's  dinner  with  his  family,  and 
It  gave  me  a  certain  impression  of  force  and  confidence.  My  very  humble 
role  consists  for  the  moment  of  training  the  boys  of  the  class  of  1915,  mak- 
ing of  them  *petits  soldats.'    I  have  an  eight  o'clock  every  day." 


THE  REPORT  OF  THE  COMMITTEE  ON  THE  STANDARDIZA- 
TION OF  UNIVERSITY  NOMENCLATURE 

The  following  recommendations  made  by  the  committee,  appointed  to 
prepare  and  submit  a  standard  nomenclature  of  University  buildings,  depart- 
ments, etc.,  with  a  standard  of  capitalization,  for  the  guidance  of  the  editors 
of  the  University  publications,  were  submitted  to  the  Regents  at  their  Jan- 
uary meeting,  and  were  approved,  to  go  into  effect  February  i,  191 5: 

I.  Your  committee  recommends  that  the  name  of  the  large  annual  publication 
be  changed  from  "The  Calendar  of  the  University  of  Michigan  for  (1915-16)"  to 
'*The  Catalogue  of  the  University  of  Michigan  for  (1915-16)."  This  publication  is 
indeed  for  the  most  part  a  catalogue  of  the  Faculty  and  students  and  of  the  courses 
offered,  while  it  contains  in  three  pages  a  calendar  of  the  year.  Moreover,  the  latter 
fact  introduces  an  awkward  confusion  in  referring  to  the  calendar  in  the  Calendar. 
The  corresponding  publication  at  most  universities  is  called  a  catalogue  and  it  was 
so  called  at  this  University  from  the  beginning  until  187 1,  when  its  name  was  changed. 
We  therefore  now  recommend  a  return  to  the  original  usage.  We  would  further 
recommend  that  the  larger  annual  publication  of  each  Department  be  called  an  An- 
nouncement of  that  Department  and  that  other  publications  describing  special  facili- 
ties and  programs  (as  in  Business  Administration,  Forestry,  etc.),  be  called  Bulletins. 
2.  In  an  extended  and  very  pertinent  article  in  the  last  annual  report  of  the 
Carnegie  Foundation  for  the  Advancement  of  Teaching,  President  Pritchett  criticizes 
the  catalogue  of  the  University  of  Michigan  in  but  one  important  particular,  viz,,  the 
double  and  inconsistent  use  of  the  term  department  both  for  a  grand  division  of  the 
University  and  for  a  division  within  the  former  devoted  to  instruction  in  a  single 
branch.  There  has  been  much  confusion  in  this  regard  throughout  the  country,  and 
this  University  is  one  of  the  chief  offenders.  Thus  we  have  one  school,  two  colleges, 
and  five  departments  (including  the  only  Graduate  Department  in  the  United  States) 
and  we  try  to  distinguish  the  word  department  used  in  this  sense  from  the  same 
word  used  to  designate  the  smaller  divisions  by  spelling  it  with  a  capital  "D"  in  the 
former  case  and  a  small  "d"  in  the  latter.     Even  this  mode  of  distinction  fails  in

speech  or  when  printed  in  publications  other  than  our  own.  This  problem  of  nomen- 
clature was  tarefully  considered  by  the  Association  of  American  Universities  and  the 
set  of  definitions  of  certain  terms  quoted  below  was  adopted  by  that  Association  in 
1909  and  1910,  later  adopted  by  the  National  Association  of  State  Universities,  and 
subsequently  approved  by  the  Carnegie  Foundation  for  the  Advancement  of  Teaching. 

The  University  of  Michigan  is  a  member  of  each  of  these  bodies.  Moreover  the 
terminology  advised  is  conservative,  feasible,  and  well-chosen,  and  has  been  approved 
and  for  the  most  part  adopted  by  nK>st  of  the  prominent  institutions.  Dean  Henry 
M.  Bates,  Counsel  to  the  Board,  to  whom  the  question  has  been  referred,  expresses 
the  opinion,  after  careful  investigation  that  the  Board  of  Regents  has  the  power  to 
make  such  changes  in  names  of  the  various  parts  of  the  University  as  it  may  deem 
wise.    His  opinion  is  appended  hereto. 

In  the  belief  that  thereby  we  can  eliminate  the  ugly  and  troublesome  inconsistency 
and  confusion  in  which  we  are  now  involved,,  your  committee  recommends  the  adop- 
tion of  the  nomenclature  as  contained  in  the  definitions  quoted  below  and  in  particular 
the  nomenclature  cited  in  connection  with  these  definitions. 

A.  **That  the  term  department  be  restricted  to  the  various  subjects  taught  in 
the  University;  as,  for  instance,  the  department  of  Latin,  department  of  mathematics, 
department  of  physics,  etc." 

B.  **That  the  term  course  be  restricted  to  the  subdivisions  of  a  subject,  as,  for 
instance,  course  i  in  English." 

C.  "That  the  term  college  be  restricted  to  a  part  of  the  University  the  standard 
of  admission  to  which  is  the  equivalent  of  that  required  by  the  Carnegie  Foundation 
for  the  Advancement  of  Teaching,  and  which  offers  instruction  of  not  less  than  two 
years'  duration  leading  to  a  first  degree  in  arts,  letters,  or  sciences."  Thus,  in  par- 
ticular, we  recommend  the  nomenclature,  the  College  of  Literature,  Science,  and  the 
Arts;  the  Colleges  of  Engineering  and  Architecture;  the  College  of  Pharmacy;  the 
College  of  Dental  Surgery. 

D.  **That  the  term  school  be  restricted  to  a  part  of  the  University  the  standard 
of  admission  to  which  is  not  less  than  the  equivalent  of  two  years'  work  in  the  college 
and  which  offers  instruction  of  not  less  than  two  years*  duration  leading  to  a  technical 
or  professional  degree."  In  particular,  we  recommend  the  nomenclature,  the  Medical 
School;  the  Law  School;  the  Homoeopathic  Medical  School;  the  Graduate  School. 

E.  "That  the  term  group  be  restricted  to  a  combination  of  related  subjects;" 
as,  for  instance,  the  foreign  language  group,  the  civil  engineering  group. 

F.  **That  the  term  curriculum  be  restricted  to  a  combination  of  courses  leading 
to  a  degree."  Thus,  in  particular,  we  recommend  the  nomenclature,  the  Combined 
Curriculum  in  Letters  and  Law,  etc.,  etc.;  the  Curricula  in  Business  Administration, 
in  Civil  Engineering,  in  Forestry,  etc.,  etc. 

•  G.  **That  the  term  division  be  used  to  indicate  any  organic  portion  of  the  Uni- 
versity which  is  larger  or  more  independent  than  a  department."  (This  term  does 
not  apply  to  any  preseitf  condition.) 

H.    We  recommend  the  use  of  the  expression  the  University  Extension  Service. 

The  Homoeopathic  Medical  School  should,  in  our  opinion  be  so  called  because 
in  September,  1916,  it  will  require  two  years  of  college  work  for  admission.  When 
one  of  the  schools  or  colleges  is  referred  to  separately  it  should  be  called  "The  Med- 
ical School  of  the  University  of  Michigan." 

3.  Your  committee  recommends  the  change  in  titles  from  Junior  Professor  and 
Clinical  Professor  to  Associate  Professor.  The  latter  is  the  term  used  universally 
throughout  the  country  and  was  in  use  here  until  1889.  We  therefore  recommend  a 
return  to  the  original  usage. 

4.  Your  committee  also  recommends  the  adoption  of  the  terminology,  the  de- 
partment of  Economics,  with  the  sub-departments  of  Political  Economy,  Business 
Administration,  and  Sociology.  Thus  the  term  Political  Economy  would  have  its 
original  significance,  the  other  divisions  having  been  added  more  recently. 

5.  We  recommend  the  adoption  of  the  following  names  for  the  University 
Buildings:  University  Hall,  Engineering  Building.  Medical  Building,  Law  Building, 
Natural  Science  Building,  Chemistry  and  Pharmacy  Building,  Library,  Museum,  Tap-

ing  the  official  University  publications  conform  to  the  rules  contained  in  the  Manual 
of  Style  issued  by  the  University  of  Chicago  Press.  This  will  insure  as  much  uni- 
formity as  is  possible  when  these  publications  are  edited  by  so  many  different  persons. 

7.  We  recommend  that  these  regulations  go  into  effect  in  the  publications  ap- 
pearing after  February  i,  1915. 

All  of  which  is  respectfully  submitted.

These  recommendations  were  concurred  in  by  the  Secretary  of  the 
University,  S.  W.  Smith. 

The  Senate  Council  at  its  meeting  January  5,  1915,  also  voted  unanim- 
ously to  concur  in  the  recommendations^  The  Senate  Council  is  composed 
of  the  President,  the  Deans  of  all  the  Departments,  and  Professors  Lloyd, 
Maricley,  Allen,  Novy,  Lane,  Bigelow,  Myers,  and  Ward. 

REPORT  OF  THE  ATHLETIC  ASSOCIATION 

The  annual  report  of  the  treasurer  of  the  Athletic  Association,  which 
was  presented  at  the  annual  meeting,  January  16,  shows  that  football  was 
the  only  sport  showing  a  credit  balance,  all  other  sports  running  behind 
financially.  In  fact,  the  income  from  football  during  the  past  year  was 
greater  than  from  all  other  sources  combined,  while  the  expenditure  from 
football  was  one  third  of  the  total  expense  account. 

Football  showed  receipts  of  $80,311.64,  while  disbursements  were 
$50,326.88.  Baseball,  with  an  income  of  $5,248.00,  and  an  expense  account 
of  $7,970.36,  ran  more  than  $2,700  behind.  Track  lost  even  more  financially, 
having  receipts  of  $1,395.48,  and  expenditures  of  $5,407.49.  Tennis  had 
receipts  of  $269.00,  and  showed  $305.18  paid  out. 

The  intramural  department  cost  $4,777.74  for  upkeep,  while  the  income 
was  comparatively  small,  being  only  $458.40.  Interscholastic  receipts  were 
$99.50,  and  expenses  $382.73.  The  largest  source  of  income,  next  to  foot- 
ball, was  from  the  student  fees.  These  netted  $25,430.70.  The  general 
athletic  expense  account  was  $7,203.99.  A  total  of  $4,3^-39  was  spent  on 
Ferry  Field,  and  $784.89  on  South  Ferry  Field.  The  new  stadium  involved 
an  expenditure  of  $75,975.00,  of  which  $32,000.00  was  procured  on  loans. 
This  year's  balance  on  hand  is  $210.28,  as  compared  with  $11,813.17  on 
January  17,  1914- 

The  report  of  the  treasurer  was  the  only  business  undertaken  at  the 
meeting,  at  which  only  two  students,  besides  newspaper  reporters  and  four 
of  the  six  student  members  of  the  board  of  directors  were  in  attendance.

THE  VOCATIONAL  CONFERENCE 

Sponsored  by  the  Women's  League,  the  first  vocational  conference  for 
women  of  the  University  was  held  on  Thursday,  Friday  and  Saturday,  Jan- 
uary 7,  8  and  9,  in  Sarah  Caswell  Angell  Hall.  The  conference  was  under- 
taken by  the  League  with  the  idea  of  presenting  to  the  women  in  the  Uni- 
versity opportunities  in  professions  other  than  teaching,  and  in  laying  be- 
fore them  the  qualifications  necessary  for  a  woman  entering  the  various 
fields.  As  the  result  of  a  vote  taken  by  the  women,  the  following  eight  pro- 
fessions were  considered:  journalism,  business  administration,  secretarial 
work,  librarianship,  interior  decorating,  social  service,  home  economics  and 
Y.  W.  C.  A.  secretarial  work.  It  had  been  hoped  to  include  also  a  discus- 
sion of  civil  service  work,  but  it  was  found  impossible  to  secure  a  speaker. 
That  the  question  was  a  timely  one  was  shown  by  the  fact  that  at  each  of  the 
three  sessions  of  the  conference,  the  hall  was  crowded  to  capacity.  The 
first  meeting,  held  on  Thursday  afternoon,  was  presided  over  by  Mrs.  Myra 
B.  Jordan,  Dean  of  Women  in  the  University,  who  made  a  short  opening 
address.  Miss  Helen  Bennett,  of  the  Chicago  Collegiate  Bureau  of  Occupa- 
tions, was  the  first  speaker,  giving  a  general  survey  of  opportunities  open  to 
women,  but  laying,  however,  a  special  emphasis  on  the  profession  of  jour-

nalism.  Professor  David  Friday,  of  the  Economics  Department,  followed, 
with  a  talk  on  the  many  opportunities  found  in  the  field  of  business  ad- 
ministration, a  comparatively  new  profession  for  women.  He  said  that  in 
the  University  were  courses  in  business  administration  open  to  women  which 
would  fit  them  for  positions  as  actuarial  workers,  statisticians  of  various 
kinds,  certified  public  accountants  and  institutional  accountants,  and  that 
the  demand  for  trained  workers  in  these  fields  was  becoming  greater  and 
greater. 

The  second  conference  on  the  following  afternoon  was  opened  with  a 
short  talk  by  President  Hutchins,  in  which  he  suggested  that  in  many  law 
offices  were  positions  open  to  women  with  a  slight  legal  training.  Secretarial 
work  was  discussed  very  comprehensively  by  Miss  Florence  Jackson,  of  the 
Women's  Educational  and  Industrial  Union,  of  Boston,  while  Mr.  Adam 
Strom,  Head  Librarian  of  the  Detroit  Public  Library,  tpok  up  the  question 
of  Hbrarianship  as  a  profession  for  women,  and  Mr.  George  T.  Hamilton, 
Director  of  the  Detroit  School  of  Design,  spoke  of  the  opportunities  in  the 
profession  of  interior  decorating. 

The  final  conference  on  Saturday  morning  was  opened  by  Miss  Soph- 
onisba  Breckinridge,  Dean  of  the  Chicago  School  of  Civics  and  Philan- 
thropy, who  considered  the  question  of  social  service.  Y.  W.  C.  A.  secretar- 
ial work  was  discussed  by  Miss  Maude  Kelsey,  the  National  Field  Secretary 
of  the  Student  Volunteer  Band,  and  the  profession  of  home  economics  was 
taken  up  by  Miss  Abby  Marlatt,  Director  of  the  Home  Economics  Depart- 
ment of  the  University  of  Wisconsin.  In  closing.  Miss  Marlatt  pointed  out 
the  fact  that  practically  every  state  university  in  the  country  gave  a  course 
in  home  economics  except  Michigan.  Following  this  session,  a  luncheon 
was  held  in  Barbour  Gymnasium,  at  which  nearly  a  hundred  women  were 
present. 

The  committee  in  charge  of  the  conference  consisted  of  Judith  Gins- 
burg,  'is,  general  chairman;  Clara  G.  Roe,  '15,  Marjorie  Delavan,  '15,  Aris 
L.  Van  Deusen,  '16,  Ruth  S.  Hutzel,  '16,  Elsie  M.  Paul,  '17,  Helen  L.  Cham- 
pion, '17,  Nona  Myers,  '18,  and  Helen  E.  Brown,  '14,  Ann  Arbor.  Mrs. 
M.  B.  Jordan,  Mrs.  Arthur  G.  Hall,  Dr.  Elsie  S.  Pratt  and  Miss  Jane 
Cochrane,  '06,  acted  also  as  an  advisory  board. 

THE  CONVENTION  OF  THE  ENGINEERING  SOCIETY 

The  thirty-sixth  annual  convention  of  the  Michigan  Engineering 
Society  was  held  at  Ann  Arbor  on  Tuesday,  Wednesday  and  Thursday, 
January  19,  20  and  21.  Both  as  regards  attendance  and  work  accomplished, 
it  was  one  of  the  most  successful  meetings  the  Society  has  ever  had. 

Papers  were  read  by  Professor  Filibert  Roth ;  R.  C.  Allen,  Director  of 
the  Department  of  Geological  and  Biolc^cal  Survey  of  Michigan ;  Leigh  D. 
Townsend;  F.  A.  Slater ;  L.  G.  Carpenter,  of  Denver,  Colo. ;  Professor  C.  T. 
Johnston,  of  the  Surveying  Department;  A.  Streiff ;  C.  H.  Hirshfeld,  of  the 
Detroit  Edison  Co.;  Gardner  Legg;  C.  E.  Chappell,  '08^;  G.  T.  Keyes,  of

I9I5]  ENGINEERING  SOCIETY  MEETING  247 

Bissell,  Dean  of  Engineering  at  M.  A.  C. ;  W.  W.  Brigden,  City  Engineer 
of  Battle  Creek ;  J.  J.  Cox,  of  the  Highway  Engineering  Department ;  Pro- 
fessor H.  E.  Riggs;  L.  C.  Smith,  Deputy  State  Highway  Commissioner; 
and  K.  E.  Norton.  In  connection  with  the  convention,  sectional  meetings 
of  county  drain  commissioners  and  surveyors  were  also  held,  and  on  Wed- 
nesday, January  20,  a  joint  meeting  was  held  with  the  Detroit  Engineering 
Society,  at  which  the  principal  topic  of  discussion  was  the  work  of  the  Inter- 
national Joint  Commission  on  the  polution  of  boundary  waters.  At  this  ses- 
sion, resolutions  were  passed  to  provide  for  the  sending  of  letters  to  the 
Governor,  state  senators  and  representatives,  asking  for  their  co-operation  in 
the  matters  which  the  Society  wishes  to  have  incorporated  in  the  laws  of  the 
State.  Among  these  are  the  gauging  of  streams,  so  that  an  accurate  report  of 
the  resources  of  the  State  may  be  determined,  an  increase  in  the  pay  of  county 
surveyors,  and  a  support  for  the  Michigan  Geological  Survey.  This  is 
stated  to  be  in  a  poor  condition,  at  present,  and  if  progress  were  to  be  con- 
tinued at  the  present  rate,  it  would  take  thirteen  years  to  complete  it. 

The  annual  banquet  was  held  at  the  Union  on  Wednesday  night,  with 
Dean  M.  E.  Cooley,  of  the  College  of  Engineering,  as  the  principal  speaker. 

Among  the  exhibits  was  one  of  lenses  and  telescopes  from  the  Bausch 
&  Lomb  Co.,  of  Rochester,  N.  Y.,  and  one  of  stickers  and  posters  of  all 
kinds  from  the  Tablet  and  Ticket  Co.,  of  Chicago. 

On  the  last  day  of  the  conference,  through  the  courtesy  of  the  Eastern 
Michigan  Edison  Company,  the  engineers  were  taken  on  a  trip  of  inspection. 
Among  the  points  visited  were  the  Barton  and  Argo  dams  and  power  houses, 
and  the  University  Sanitary  Experiment  Station. 

Officers  for  the  coming  year  were  elected  as  follows :  President,  Delmar 
E. Teed, '05^^  of  Cadillac;  vice-president,  George  W.  Bissell,  of  East  Lansing; 
secretary  and  treasurer,  S.  J.  Hoexter,  Ann  Arbor.  The  directorate  of  the 
Society  will  be  composed  of  the  following :  E.  D.  Rich,  State  Sanitary  Engi- 
neer, Lansing;  L.  C.  Smith,  Deputy  Highway  Commissioner,  Lansing;  and 
T.  O.  Williams,  Kent  County  Surveyor,  Grand  Rapids. 


The  Martha  Cook  Hall  of  Residence  for  Women,  now  in  course  of  erection,  on  South 
Univenity  Avenue,  across  from  the  old  Engineering  Building.  When  completed  it  will 
accommodate  one  hundred  freshman  girls.

248  THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS  [February 

VALUABLE  SPECIMENS  RECENTLY  ADD- 
ED  TO  PALEONTOLOGICAL  COLLECT- 
ION OF  THE  UNIVERSITY 

About  a  year  ago  Ex-Governor  Chase  S.  Osbofn  presented  to  the  Uni- 
versity three  specimens  of  exceptional  interest  and  value,  which  he  obtained 
in  his  recent  trip  around  the  world  in  1913. 

The  first  of  these  to  arrive  is  an  egg  of  the  extinct,  giant,  flightless  bird 
of  Madagascar.  In  the  geological  period  before  the  present  a  group  of 
ostrich-like  birds  inhabited  Australia,  New  Zealand,  Madagascar,  and  the 
adjacent  islands  of  the  Indian  Ocean.  As  these  regions  were  devoid  of  large 
carnivorous  animals,  the  birds  were  not  in  danger  of  attack  and  gradually 
lost  the  power  of  flight,  and  even,  in  large  measure,  their  wings;  going 
much  farther  in  this  respect  than  the  ostrich. 

The  largest  of  the  flightless  birds  of  Madagascar,  known  only  from 
fossil  bones,  is  called  Aepyomis;  it  lived  in  the  geological  ttme  before  the 
present,  the  Pleistocene  and  was  probably  contemporaneous  with  early  man 
but  was  already  extinct  when  the  island  was  first  visited  by  white  men. 
Scattered  bones  of  these  birds  are  not  uncommon,  but  the  eggs  are  very 
scarce  as  only  those  which  failed  to  hatch  and  were  preserved  by  fortunate 
circumstances,  occasionally  came  to  light.  One  was  discovered  floating  in 
the  chief  harbor  of  the  island  after  a  violent  hurricane.  It  is  believed  that 
the  eggs  of  these  giant  birds  were  the  origin  of  the  Arabian  legend  of  the 
roc. 

The  specimen  obtained  by  Mr.  Osborn  has  had  an  eventful  history.  It 
was  discovered  near  Tullear  and  carried  by  a  tribe,  the  Antaimoro,  to  their 
most  sacred  place,  a  cave  near  Fort  Dauphin,  and  there  long  worshipped  as 
an  idol. 

The  tgg  is  probably  that  of  an  individual  of  one  of  the  largest  species, 
Aepyornis  maximus ;  it  is  equal  in  size  to  several  ostrich  eggs  and  over  a 
hundred  hens'  eggs.  There  are  but  one  or  two  other  specimens  of  the  egg 
of  this  bird  in  America  and  but  few  in  Europe. 

The  second  specimen  presented  by  ^Ir.  Osborn  is  a  skeleton  of  the 
extinct  pygmy  hippopotamus.  Hippopotamus  lemerlei  Grandidier,  from  the 
Pleistocene  deposits  of  Madagascar. 

Many  bones  of  this  animal  have  been  found  in  a  single  locality,  a  hot 
springs  deposit,  near  Antsirabe.  Evidently  a  considerable  number  of  indi- 
viduals were  overcome  by  volcanic  ashes  or  fumes  and  the  skeletons  pre- 
served in  the  hardened  ashes  and  hot  springs  deposits.  Unfortunately  the 
skeletons  have  been  disturbed  so  that  the  bones  of  diflFerent  individuals  are 
sadly  mixed.  Realizing  the  value  of  such  a  specimen  to  the  University,  Mr. 
Osborn  requested  the  authorities  of  the  Museum  in  Madagascar  to  select  for 
him  bones  of  correct  size  to  complete  a  skeleton.  This  was  done  most  suc- 
cessfully. 

The  work  of  restoring  the  skeletons  of  extinct  animals  is  only  com- 
menced when  the  bones  have  been  collected.    The  specimen  must  be  brought

to  the  museum,  cleaned,  all  broken  parts  restored,  and  the  bones  placed  in 
proper  position  and  secured  by  iron  supports,  cunningly  contrived  to  give  the 
maximum  of  support  and  still  be  as  inconspicuous  as  possible.  The  value 
of  this  specimen  was  fully  recognized  by  the  Board  of  Regents,  and  they 
permitted  the  Department  of  Geology  to  bring  to  the  University,  a  skilled 
man  to  mount  the  skeleton. 

Many  an  anxious  consultation  was  held  over  the  specimen  as  to  the  best 
means  of  securing  the  fragile  bones,  and  just  how  to  place  the  limbs  and 
head  to  give  a  true  representation  of  the  animal  as  it  stood  in  life.  After 
four  months  of  hard  work,  Mr.  E.  L.  Troxell,  the  preparator,  has  completed 
the  mount  and  the  restored  skeleton,  the  second  of  its  kind  in  the  United 


The  mounted  Skeleton  of  the  Pigmy  Hippopotamus  presented  by  ex-Governor  Chase  S. 
Osborn,  shown  with  a  skull  of  the  modern  Hippopotamus.  Shot  in  South  Africa  by  Mr. 
Osborn. 

States,  stands  in  the  Museum,  a  source  of  pride  to  all  who  have  had  a  hand 
in  its  restoration  and  an  honor  to  the  donor. 

After  Mr.  Osborn  secured  the  skeleton  of  the  pygmy  in  Madagascar,  he 
journeyed  to  the  Lundi  River  in  southern  Africa  and  there  shot  a  large, 
adult  specimen  of  the  common  hippopotamus.  This  is  being  prepared  by 
the  Museum  taxidermist  and  will  soon  be  placed  close  to  the  extinct  form, 
so  that  comparison  of  the  two  forms  can  be  made. 

Not  less  interesting,  but  in  a  different  field,  is  a  series  of  plaster  casts 
of  Bushmen  drawings,  secured  by  Mr.  Osborn  from  the  Cape  Town  Museum 
and  now  safely  housed  in  the  Memorial  Building. 

The  Department  of  Geology  is  especially  pleased  by  the  additions  to  its 
paleontology  material,  as  it  is  now  endeavoring  to  build  up  for  the  Univer- 
sity a  collection  representative  of  extinct  animals,  before  such  material  be- 
comes exhausted.  Such  things  are  limited  in  quantity,  and  can  only  be 
obtained  by  expeditions  or  purchases  made  in  time.  Already  a  good  start 
has  been  made;  among  other  things  a  splendid  collection  was  obtained  from

the  Pennian  beds  of  Texas  by  the  University  expedition  of  1913.  There 
are  ready  for  mounting  two  nearly  complete  skeletons  of  the  wonderful 
fin-backed  lizards,  specimens  that  will  be  unexcelled  in  any  collection  fn 
the  world. 

There  is  at  present  a  chance  to  obtain  a  good  specimen  of  the  fossil 
horse  of  North  America,  recently  obtained  from  the  Staked  Plains  of 
Texas.  A  fortunate  chance  makes  it  possible  to  obtain  this,  one  of  the  last 
specimens  of  the  kind  likely  to  come  from  that  locality,  at  a  very  reasonable 
price,  but  the  money  must  come  from  outside  of  the  already  overtaxed 
resources  of  the  department.

I9I5]  EARLIEST  STUDENT  ORGANIZATION  251 

MICHIGAN'S  OLDEST  STUDENT  ORGANI- 

ZATION,  ALPHA  NU,  IN  MICHIGAN'S 

EARLIEST  DAYS 

The  old  Alpha  Nu  Society  was  the  product  of  a  regime  that  has  al- 
most passed  from  the  life  of  the  University  of  today.  It  was  founded  for 
the  purpose  of  general  mental  improvement  according  to  the  preamble  of 
the  first  constitution.  It  furnished  practice  in  public  speaking,  in  debating, 
orations,  declamations,  and  extemporaneous  discussions.  It  furnished  a 
means  for  those  who  had  literary  ability  to  publish  such  articles  as  might  be 
advisable.  It  furnished  a  meeting  place  where  the  students  exchanged  ideas 
with  one  another  and  with  the  Faculty.  It  furnished  a  place  where  the  cur- 
rent events  of  the  stirring  days  before  the  rebellion  were  discussed  from  every 
point.  It  was  the  one  means,  before  the  days  of  collegiate  athletics,  of  ex- 
pressing the  various  forms  of  student  activity.  And  more  than  that,  it 
formed  an  honor  society  for  whose  membership  every  ambitious  student 
aspired. 

Now  things  are  changed.  To  those  who  are  interested  in  presenting 
their  ideas  in  the  form  of  public  address  of  any  kind  the  Department  of 
Oratory  offers  abundant  opportunities,  and  the  various  contests  of  the 
Oratorical  Association  add  spice  to  the  monotony  of  class  work  that  far 
surpasses  any  contest  or  recital  ever  contemplated  by  any  of  the  soci- 
eties. Writers  of  fiction,  poetry,  or  scientific  and  philosophical  treatises 
now  have  abundant  opportunity  for  expressing  ideas  they  may  have 
in  different  periodicals.  The  Michigan  Union  has  formed  a  social  organ- 
ization for  expressing  the  interdependence  of  Faculty  and  students.  Stu- 
dent publications  and  daily  papers  give  ample  treatment  of  everything 
that  is  happening  in  the  line  of  current  events. 

Before  attempting  a  description  of  the  founding  and  early  years  of 
the  Alpha  Nu  Society — before  we  can  properly  appreciate  the  spirit  in 
which  it  was  founded — a  very  brief  glance  at  the  life  of  the  University 
•  in  those  early  days  seems  not  only  advisable  but  very  necessary. 

A  picture  of  the  Campus  in  1843  ^^st  necessarily  be  more  or  less 
imaginative.  Put  from  your  minds  entirely  the  modem  Campus,  hurry- 
ing students  filling  the  walks  that  thread  our  beautiful  academic  grove  in 
every  direction,  and  in  fact  everjrthing  that  now  is  distinctive  of  Campus 
pictures.  There  was  no  such  place  as  State  Street;  East  University  Ave- 
nue was  a  cow  pasture  bordering  the  forest  that  occupied  what  is  now  Wash- 
tenaw Avenue. 

The  Campus  itself  greatly  resembled  a  pasture.  It  occupied,  of  course, 
the  same  site  as  at  present  but  its  surface  was  uneven  and  though  the 
trees  had  nearly  all  been  cut  down  the  stumps  still  remained  and  between 
these  ran  narrow  muddy  paths.  It  was  surrounded  by  a  high  fence  over 
which  a  stile  and  flights  of  steps  allowed  easy  access  at  the  northwest  cor- 
ner. It  was  a  typical  backwoods  clearing  on  the  outskirts  of  a  pioneer 
village.

252  THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS  [February 

In  this  clearing  there  appeared  a  main  building  and  four  professor's 
houses  which  seemed  to  the  people  of  those  days  the  very  ideal  of  beauty 
for  college  edifices.  No  pains  had  been  spared  to  make  it  the  best  appearing 
Campus  possible  and  in  an  early  message,  Governor  Cass  objected  to  the 
Legislature  that  the  Regents  were  spending  the  appropriation  wastefully. 
As  we  look  at  the  North  Wing  of  University  Hall,  which  was  then  the 
main  building,  we  are  inclined  to  smile.  Nevertheless  they  appeared  very 
desirable  to  contemporaries.  Listen  to  what  the  Michigan  State  Journal 
of  August  10,  1841,  says: 

*The  main  building  is  four  stories  higb,  built  of  brick,  handsomely  and  durably 
stuccoed  to  give  it  the  appearance  of  Quincy  granite.  Besides  this,  four  professors' 
houses  of  the  same  material  are  finished.  More  classical  models  or  a  more  beautiful 
finish  could  not  be  imagined.   They  honor  the  architect  while  they  beautify  the  village." 

No  more  buildings  were  added  for  a  number  of  years  and  to  the  senti- 
ments expressed  by  the  Ann  Arbor  paper  quoted  above.  The  Constitutional 
Democrat  of  Detroit  adds  on  June  18,  1842 : 

"The  edifice  is  large,  neat,  and  commodious  and  exceedingly  well  arranged  for 
the  comfort  of  the  students.  The  range  of  buildings  for  the  residences  of  the  pro- 
fessors are  among  the  choicest  specimens  of  architecture  we  have  ever  seen  and 
situated  as  they  are  on  an  elevated  plain,  present  a  view,  beautiful  from  every  quarter.** 

Such  was  the  Campus  at  the  time  of  the  founding  of  the  Alpha  Nu. 

There  were  twenty-three  students  in  attendance  at  the  University 
that  year— all  o  fthem  serious-minded  young  men  who  were  here  to  study 
Horace,  Ovid,  Theology,  Logic,  and  kindred  subjects.  The  entire  cui- 
riculimi  was  compulsory  and  those  who  took  it  came  here  with  a  definite 
purpose  that  they  did  not  lose  sight  of  from  the  time  Pat  Kelley  aroused 
them  for  prayers  at  6:00  A.  M.  till  all  lights  were  ordered  out  at  9:00  P.  M. 
Those  were  stem  days  and  a  college  education  could  only  be  obtained  with 
many  hardships  and  even  privations.  Consequently  the  men  who  did  come 
here  were  men  of  purpose,  men  who  later  figured  very  prommently  in 
building  up  the  great  "new  west." 

It  was  Pat's  duty  every  morning  to  sound  the  bell  for  prayers  and 
insist  that  every  one  respond  to  it  promptly.  The  students  all  roomed  in 
what  is  now  the  North  Wing  of  University  Hall  and  one  of  the  least  of  his 
troubles  was  to  find  on  an  especially  cold  morning  in  winter  the  bell  filled 
with  water,  and  frozen  dumb.  Or  at  times  spirits  of  the  night  had  con- 
fiscated the  same  bell  for  their  own  use.  How  the  fellows  regarded  that  bell 
is  shown  from  an  extract  from  The  Sibyl  of  April  11,  1851. 

"There's  an  imp  within  that  bell 

Morning  bell. 
How  his  peals  of  brazen  laughter 
Follow  fast  and  follow  faster 
As  it  whirls  in  mad  coverts 
Turning  thousand  somersets 
Ever  groaning,  moaning,  shrieking 
In  its  iron  sockets  creaking 
Like  a  gaunt  and  gibbering  spectre  passing  through 

the  moonless  air 
Groaning  out  its  call  to  prayer.

I9IS]  EARLIEST  STUDENT  ORGANIZATION  253 

In  an  early  number  of  the  Sibyl  you  will  find  a  poem  written  by  the 
late  learned  Divine,  Dr.  N.  P.  West,  until  his  recent  death  the  oldest  member 
of  the  society,  describing  a  chicken  stealing  expedition.  It  can  be  easily 
recognized  as  a  parody  on  "The  Burial  of  Sir  Thomas  Moore." 

The  faculty  consisted  of  four  learned  men.  Professors  Whiting,  Sager, 
Williams  and  Ten  Brook,  of  whom  the  two  latter  were  particularly  popular 
with  the  students.  They  received  a  salary  of  $500  per  year  and  house  rent 
but  this  meager  salary,  even,  was  never  guaranteed  to  them.  Professor 
Williams  endeared  himself  to  the  students  of  the  first  graduating  class  by 
refusing  to  resign  when  the  Regents  offered  him  the  opportunity  because 
they  had  not  enough  funds  at  their  disposal  to  assure  him  his  salary.

office  of  the  Alumni  Association. 


While  Alpha  Nu  is  the  oldest  organization  now  connected  with  the 
University  in  any  way,  it  was  not  the  first.  A  society  with  much  the  same 
purpose  was  founded  June  28,  1842,  called  Phi  Phi  Alpha  and  all  the 
charter  members  of  Alpha  Nu  were  originally  members  of  that  society. 
Parmalee,  '45;  Norris,  '41-44,  A.  B.  (Yale)  '45,  A.  M.  (hon.)  '69;  Col- 
lins, '45,  and  Pray,  '45,  were  charter  members  of  both  societies.  The  first 
meeting  of  that  society  was  held  in  Room  8,  University  Hall,  which  is  now 
in  the  north  wing  of  the  main  building,  but  just  which  room  it  was  cannot 
l)e  discovered.  The  constitution  was  drawn  up  and  submitted  to  the  members 
ty  Professor  Whiting  and  adopted  with  a  few  amendments.  There  is  a 
marked  similarity  in  the  constitutions  of  all  the  first  literary  societies  which 
shows  the  intensely  earnest  spirit  of  the  time. 

A  long  peaceful  career  was  not  the  fate  of  the  Phi  Phi  Alpha  Society. 
In  the  latter  part  of  the  year  1842-1843  (to  be  exact,  June  30th,  1843,)  Mr. 
P.  W.  H.  Rawles,  '45,  was  admitted  to  the  ranks.     A  very  troublesome

freshman  he  must  have  been  for  he  caused  trouble  in  an  election  that 
occurred  before  he  had  been  a  member  a  month  and  by  the  end  of  the  term 
in  July  there  was  almost  open  rebellion.  The  trouble  actually  did  occur 
when  college  opened  the  next  September.  It  cannot  be  discovered  what 
the  difficulty  was,  but  Mr.  Rawles  seemed  to  be  at  the  bottom  of  it.  The 
controversy  could  not  have  been  a  political  one  for  the  final  defection  in- 
cluded all  the  officers  of  the  old  society  except  the  vice-president  and  they 
did  not  get  offices  in  the  new  society  being  formed. 

The  actual  revolution  occurred  in  the  middle  of  September,  1843,  when 
Mr.  Kingsley,  42-43,  resigned  membership  in  the  Phi  Phi  Alpha  together 
with  Messrs.  Fish,  '45 ;  Hoffman,  '43-'44 ;  Marsh,  '45 ;  S.  S.  Schoff ,  '46 ;  H.  F. 
Schoff ,  '46 ;  Rawles,  '45 ;  Collins,  '45  and  Pray  '45.  They  at  once  left  the 
room,  not  waiting  to  see  whether  or  not  the  resignations  would  be  accepted. 
As  a  matter  of  fact  the  resignations  were  not  accepted  at  once  but  on  October 
8,  1843,  we  find  the  following  resolution  before  the  Phi  Phi  Alpha : 

'^Resolved,  that  we  consider  the  conduct  of  the  individuals  w5io  left  this  society 
wrongful  and  un'becoming  to  the  station  they  hold  in  this  institution  and  we  deem  it 
necessary  and  just  to  censure  them  for  their  misconduct." 

The  resolution  was  voted  down  at  first,  probably  in  the  hope  that 
friendly  relations  might  be  restored  but  a  reconsideration  succeeded  in 
pasing  it.  At  about  the  same  time  we  find  a  debate  in  the  new  society 
decided  negatively: 

''Resolved,  that  it  were  best  to  reunite  with  Phi  Phi  Alpha." 

The  first  meeting  of  the  Alpha  Nu  was  held  at  7:30  on  Friday  evening, 
September  30,  1843.  The  moon  now  peeping  cautiously  over  the  forest 
that  then  occupied  Washtenaw.  Avenue  and  shedding  its  radiance  over  the 
hollows  and  stumps  of  the  Campus,  looked  in  at  the  little  windows  of  the 
main  building  as  Mr.  Marsh,  temporary  chairman,  called  the  meeting  to 
order.  Kingsley  was  appointed  as  scribe  and  things  conducted  in  parlia- 
mentary order.  Messrs.  Fish,  Norris  and  Rawles  were  constituted  a  com- 
mittee to  draft  a  constitution  and  Mr.  Collins  headed  one  to  prepare  by-laws. 

At  the  next  meeting,  a  week  later,  P.  W.  H.  Rawles  was  elected  Pres- 
ident, E.  Fish,  Vice-President  and  Treasurer,  C.  S.  Kingsley,  Scribe  and 
L.  D.  Norris,  Librarian,  although  it  was  some  time  before  Alpha  Nu  had 
a  library.  They  held  office  one  term,  until  December  15th,  there  being 
three  terms  in  the  college  year  then.  At  that  date  President  Rawles  suc- 
ceeded himself  and  established  a  rule  of  two  terms  that  is  in  force  today. 

Alpha  Nu  was  now  firmly  established  and  began  the  development 
that  made  it  the  leader  of  the  literary  societies  before  the  Civil  War.  Phi 
Phi  Alpha  was  dissolved  in  i860  and  The  Literary  Adelphi  was  founded 
in  1857. 

There  are  a  great  many  things  of  interest  in  the  early  days  of  the 
society  history  but  none  so  characteristic  of  the  period  as  the  establish- 
ment of  The  Sibyl.  Agitation  for  it  had  been  in  progress  ever  since 
the  founding  of  the  society  but  it  was  not  until  May  3,  1844,  that  it  took

definite  form  and  section  6  was  added  to  the  Rules  of  Order.  This  pro- 
vided that  a  periodical  modeled  after  the  Castalia  of  the  Phi  Phi  Alpha 
should  be  established  and  that  it  should  be  issued  once  in  c\  cry  three  weeks 
under  the  title  The  Sibyl.  Each  member  was  required  to  submit  an 
article  for  every  issue,  which  article  would  be  published  at  the  discretion 
of  the  editor  after  he  had  read,  rearranged  and  criticized  it.  These  had 
to  be  in  hand  at  least  two  weeks  before  date  of  issue.  Careful  thought, 
neat  writing,  and  correct  punctuation  were  to  be  considered  essential  and 
failure  to  comply  with  these  requirements  would  result  in  its  exclusion.  It 
was  made  a  point  of  honor  to  be  a  contributor  to  The  Sibyl.  After  a  long 
discussion  Mr.  P.  W.  H.  Rawles  was  elected  first  editor. 

The  first  issue  was  on  May  24,  1844,  and  from  the  first  it  was  success- 
ful. Its  tone  was  serious  and  conservative,  yet  the  early  numbers  of  the 
periodical  are  still  interesting.  The  real  literary  merit  of  those  early  numbers 
is  surprising. 

An  editorial  in  the  first  issue  sounds  the  keynote  that  guided  the  pub- 
lication in  its  early  years.  During  this  time  it  flourished  as  it  never  has 
since. 

**You,  gentlemen,  by  entitling  your  periodical  have  found  its  character.  The 
Sibyl,  be  it  remembered,  is  not  a  maid  given  to  the  follies  and  amusements  of  the 
world.  She  is  neither  frivolous  nor  love-lorn,  according  to  the  common  accq)tation 
of  the  term,  romantic.  She  mingles  not  with  mankind  but  dwelling  afar  in  her  moun- 
tain caves,  it  is  'hers  to  lift  th«  veil  of  mystery  from  truth  and  reveal  its  hidden  bright- 
ness. Inspired  of  Heaven,  loved  of  that  God  who  was  the  muses'  magister,  she  presents 
in  her  character  the  commanding  traits,  the  very  sublimity  of  an  higher  order  of 
intelligence.  She  is  beautiful  but  hers  is  a  beauty  mellowed  by  the  influence  of  time — 
not  personal  but  intellectual — ^the  very  combination  of  graces  which  neither  age  nor 
dccreptitude.  can  impair  but  which  shall  live  through  years  as  countless  as  the  sands 
she  held  while  soliciting  long  Irfe  from  her  immortal  lover.  Sternness  and  majesty 
have  siKceeded  the  elegance  of  her  fifteenth  summer.  The  rose  has  vanished  from  her 
cheek  and  her  brow  is  marked  with  deep  traces  of  that  intellect  which  in  the  acquisition 
of  Truth  preyed  upon  itself.  Such  was  The  Sibyl  of  old.  What,  gentlemen,  shall  be 
her  successor?  Certainly  not  frivolous,  not  an  indulger  in  the  world's  sickly  sentiment. 
Be  it  hers  to  search,  investigate,  divulge  the  Truth,  and  yours  to  act  as  her  ministering 
servants  in  all  she  may  require." 

The  writers  all  assumed  nom-de-plumes  and  among  them  vsre  find 
such  as  "Zeta",  ''Alpha",  "Capillus",  "Cleon",  "An  Eye  Witness"  and  a 
score  of  others.  These  have  resulted  in'  the  loss  of  the  author's  real  names 
and  there  is  probably  no  chance  of  ever  recovering  them. 

A  glance  at  the  questions  used  for  debates  reveals  much  as  to  the  character 
of  the  society.    Here  are  a  few  of  them : 

"Resolved,  that  it  would  be  wise  for  the  nation  to  abolish  the  military  school  at 
West  Point." 

'^Resolved,  that  the  U.  S.  should  admit  Texas  into  the  Union." 

^'Resolved,  rhat  the  benefits  of  novel  reading  will  compensate  for  its  injuries." 

"Resolved,  that  we  have  sufficient  evidence  for  a  belief  in  ethereal  spirits." 

"Resolved,  that  honesty  has  no  moral  quality  in  it." 

"Resolved,  that  ^woman  has  as  much  mfluence  in  the  nation  as  man." 

"Resolved,  thdi  brutts  Ttsison,*'  ;

These  questions,  though  they  may  make  us  smile,  were  very  serious 
problems  and  the  men  of  those  days  who  were  interested  may  be  presumed 
to  have  suited  their  actions  to  their  habits  of  mind. 

Throughout  the  early  issues  of  The  Sibyl,  as  well  as  in  the  above 
questions,  a  strong  religious  tendency  can  be  noted.  Not  only  was  it  char- 
acteristic of  their  decade  but  it  was  especially  so  of  Ann  Arbor  in  those 
days,  for  it  was  in  the  spring  of  1845  that  the  greatest  religious  revival  the 
city  has  ever  experienced  occurred.  It  included  almost  all  the  students  and 
townspeople  and  its  influence  is  easily  traceable  for  at  least  the  next  ten 
years. 

Mr.  Norris  had  been  appointed  librarian  of  the  society  at  its  found- 
ing, thus  expressing  the  need  felt  for  such  a  thing.  There  was  no  library 
in  Ann  Arbor  that  the  students  could  use  and  text  books  became  monot- 
onous when  only  relieved  by  required  readings  in  the  Bible.  The  desire  for 
fiction  expressed  itself  on  June  5,  1844.  Each  member  donated  a  book  and  a 
gift  was  solicited  from  each  member  of  the  Faculty,  the  Regents,  and  such 
others  as  the  members  felt  disposed  to  approach.  The  treasury  money  was 
expended  in  buying  a  collection  of  Washington  Irving's  works  and  each 
member  pledged  himself  for  from  one  to  ten  dollars  worth  of  books.  This 
was  the  start  of  the  library  which  was  in  the  possession  of  the  society  until 
October,  1896,  when  it  was  sold  to  the  University  to  pay  for  repairs  on  the 
hall  and  a  piano.    At  that  time  it  contained  about  1,500  volumes. 

On  June  6,  1845,  the  society  decided  to  join  the  American  Art  Union 
and  each  member  was  asessed  25  cents  to  do  this. 

The  first  public  debate  was  held  in  the  fall  of  the  year  1844.  A  pro- 
f^ramme  was  given  as  follows : 

Oration    Clarke 

Essay    West 

Essay    Whittemore 

Essay    Pray 

Essay  Fish 

Debate: — Resolved  that  there  is  no  resurrection  of  the  material  body.

This  was  the  first  time  that  sides  were  ever  chosen ;  the  favorite  method 
being  a  committee  of  the  whole.  In  the  early  days  these  public  debates  were 
aflPairs  that  interested  the  whole  University. 

Perhaps  the  most  hotly  contested  of  all  debates  was  the  one  in  1846 
between  Alpha  Nu  and  Phi  Phi  Alpha  on  "Resolved,  that  students  should 
not  form  matrimonial  engagements  while  in  college." 

The  Phi  Phi  Alpha  Society  constantly  caused  trouble  for  Alpha  Nu 
and  finally  succeeded  in  driving  them  out  of  the  main  hall.  The  expulsion 
was  not  for  very  long,  however,  and  they  were  reinstated  by  Professor  Wil-

Hams.    The  story  of  the  controversy  as  it  appears  in  the  original  records  is 
interesting.    Strong  feelings  were  aroused  on  both  sides. 

In  1845  2tnd  1846  the  societies  took  it  on  themselves  to  procure  the 
commencement  orator.  This  almost  always  resulted  in  a  lively  contest 
between  the  two  that  sometimes  was  prevented  from  becoming  violent  only 
by  a  motion  to  adjourn.  It  is  hard  to  appreciate  the  stubbornness  with 
which  the  rival  societies  held  their  positions  and  the  mutual  distrust.  Out- 
side of  their  organization,  however,  they  were  the  best  of  friends. 

On  July  20, 1845,  Professor  Whiting  died  and  for  a  time  the  University 
was  so  overshadowed  by  the  bereavement  that  the  two  societies  forgot 
their  animosity  and  held  a  union  memorial  service.  The  seniors  of  1845 
all  wore  badges  of  mourning  testifying  the  respect  they  had  for  Proiessur 
Whiting. 

On  December  4,  1846,  Newberry,  '47,  Kingsley  and  Dubois,  '48,  were 
appointed  to  petition  the  Legislature  of  Michigan  for  an  act  of  incorpo- 
ration but  the  petition  was  denied  to  the  society  at  that  time  though  it 
appears  that  it  received  serious  consideration. 

In  connection  with  the  library  of  which  I  spoke  some  time  ago  a  period- 
ical room  was  established  in  October,  1846.  The  Whig  and  Democratic 
reviews  were  the  only  papers  taken  for  some  time  but  the  room  proved  so 
popular  that  it  was  continued  for  a  long  time. 

With  this  chronology  of  events  have  been  noted  all  the  most  import- 
ant occurrences  up  till  the  year  1857.  From  1853  till  1857  the  records  are 
meagre,  The  Sibyl  furnishing  nearly  all  of  the  information.  In  1857  oc- 
curred the  great  schism  or  rather  revolt  which  resulted  in  the  establishment 
of  the  Adelphi  Society. 

Alpha  Nu  had  grown  to  a  pre-eminent  place  in  college  activities  and  was 
in  a  position  where  the  revolt  could  not  overthrow  it.  Despite  the  seces- 
sion Alpha  Nu  continued  to  hold  her  former  place  in  University  affairs  and 
outlived  its  parent  Phi  Phi  Alpha  which  failed  in  i860.  The  University 
was  not  large  enough  to  support  three  societies  at  that  time  and  so  the 
weakest  fell.

ATHLETICS 


SPORTS 


Hockey  and  basketball  are  the  two 
sports  which  are  interesting  interclass  ath- 
letes at  this  time  of  the  year.  Already  the 
interest  shown  by  the  classes  and  depart- 
ments promises  even  better  championship 
tournaments  than  ruled  last  year.  Basket- 
ball has  claimed  by  far  the  larger  number, 
but  the  enrolment  in  hockey  is  growing. 

iFloyd  A.  Rowe,  Director  of  Intramural 
Athletics,  believes  that  over  sixteen  teams 
will  be  enrolled  for  the  title  games  this 
year.  More  than  300  class  athletes  have 
signified  their  intention  of  trying  out  for 
the  various  teams,  with  the  freshmen  con- 
tributing the  big  majority. 

Hockey  will  claim  the  attention  of  about 
50  men,  the  majority  of  them  being  from 
northern  Michigan,  Minnesota  or  Canada, 
where  the  ice  sport  is  particularly  popular. 
Special  arrangements  have  been  made  with 
the  management  of  a  local  rink  for  the 
staging  of  the  games,  and  matches  will  be 
played  between  teams  of  seven  men  each. 
In  former  years  it  has  been  impossible  to 
enrol  this  large  a  number  of  men  on  the 
squads,  but  the  present  season  will  see  the 
use  of  increased  accommodations. 

Due  to  the  trouble  which  has  been  ex- 
perienced in  effecting  arrangements  with 
the  rink  management,  it  is  probable  that  an 
effort  will  be  made  by  the  department  of 
intramural  athletics,  to  provide  some  kind 
of  a  rink  on  Ferry  Field.  If  the  laying  out 
of  such  a  rink  is  possible,  it  is  certain  that 
ice  sports  at  Michigan  will  greatly  increase 
in  interest. 


INDOOR  TRACK  PROSPECTS 

If  the  walls  of  Waterman  Gymnasium 
could  extend  a  welcome,  they  would  have 
an  opportunity  on  February  20th,  when  the 
old-time  Michigan  trainer,  Keene  Fitzpat- 
rick,  comes  to  Ann  Arbor  with  a  Princeton 
two-mile  relay  team  to  race  against  a  Var- 
sity quartette.  It  will  be  a  clash  between 
coaches  on  that  day,  for  Steve  Farrell  will 
do  his  utmost  to  best  the  former  Michigan 
favorite,  and  Fitzpatrick  will  strive  just  as 
hard  on  his  part  to  earn  the  victory. 

Trainer  Farrell  will  be  forced  to  convert 
the  "medley"  relay  race  team,  which  ran 
in  Buffalo  on  February  5th.  into  a  distance 
squad,  and  in  the  process  it  is  certain  that 
several  of  the  quartette  will,  of  necessity. 


be  dropped.  Captain  Smith,  who  ran  the 
first  lap  against  the  Quakers  in  the  east, 
can  by  no  hook  or  crook  be  transformed 
into  a  half-miler,  and  it  is  doubtful  if 
Burby  or  Fontana  or  Carver  or  O'Brien, 
or  any  of  the  others  who  tried  for  the  first 
or  second  lap  places,  can  be  used. 

But  Murphy  and  Carroll,  and  the  racers 
who  strove  with  them  in  the  trials  by  which 
Farrell  picked  his  men,  will  be  contenders. 
And  to  add  to  them  Farrell  will  have  sev- 
eral others.  Donnelly,  a  sophomore  run- 
ner, will  no  doubt  make  a  much  better 
showing  in  the  Princeton  trials  than  he  did 
in  the  tests  held  before  the  Buffalo  meet, 
for  at  that  time  he  was  just  recovering 
from  an  attack  of  sickness.  Farrell  ex- 
pects that  he  will  be  able  to  use  his  milers 
in  the  880-yard  distance  if  necessary,  and 
Ufer,  Fox,  Graumann  and  others  who  fail- 
ed to  best  Carroll  last  month,  may  meet  a 
different  fate  this  time.  Lynch,  the  young- 
ster who  was  alternate  in  the  "medley" 
relay  squad,  can  easily  make  himself  over 
into  a  half-miler,  and  may  prove  a  valuable 
man. 

The  appearance  of  a  Michigan  track 
squad  on  February  5th  this  year,  marked 
the  earliest  advent  of  a  Varsity  team 
for  any  season  in  history.  In  former  years 
the  athletes  have  not  engaged  in  collegiate 
competition  until  well  along  toward  the 
latter  part  of  February,  and  very  often  not 
until  the  first  of  March.  This  year  two 
important  meets  are  scheduled,  the  Buffalo 
and  the  Princeton  relays,  and  on  March  6th 
Farrell  will  probably  have  a  squad  in  New 
York  City  for  the  Eastern  Intercollegiate 
Indoor  meet. 

If  Michigan  enters  this  meet  it  will  only 
be  with  relay  teams.  The  rules  which  gov- 
ern entries  m  the  other  events  require  that 
five  men  be  entered  and  competed  in  each, 
the  scoring  to  be  the  same  as  that  used  in 
cross-country  running.  Farrell  has  already 
stated  that  for  this  reason  the  Varsity 
would  be  represented,  if  at  all,  in  only  the 
relav  races. 


SPRING  FOOTBALL  PROSPECTS 

Spring  football  practice  for  the  1915 
Varsity  will  start  this  year  on  April  20th. 
on  which  day  Head  Coach  Fielding  H. 
Yost  will  take  active  charge  of  the  candi- 
dates who  aspire  to  places  on  next  fall's

eleven.  Both  Yost  and  his  first  assistant, 
"Germany"  Schulz,  will  be  in  Ann  Arbor 
to  supervise  the  spring  training,  and  it  is 
the  present  intention  of  the  coaches  to  have 
the  drill  last  for  at  least  two  weeks. 

The  Michigan  football  mentor's  plans 
for  the  coming  fall  were  first  announced 
to  his  men,  and  to  the  Campus,  on  January 
27th,  when  Yost  came  to  Ann  Arbor  for 
his  first  visit  since  the  close  of  the  gridiron 
season.  A  crowd  of  nearly  sixty- five  men 
turned  out  to  the  meeting  which  the  coach 
called,  and  which  was  held  in  the  Engineer- 
ing Building.  Included  in  this  crowd  were 
members  of  the  1914  Varsity,  Substitutes, 
Reserves,  and  the  husky  youngsters  who 
will  graduate  to  the  Varsity  from  the 
1918  All-Fresh  eleven.  And  besides  these 
there  were  many  aspiring  recruits  who  will 
seek  the  coach's  favor  in  the  spring  train- 
ing. 

To  this  bunch  of  men,  Yost  told  his  plans 
for  the  year  of  1915.  A  system  of  indoor 
training,  similar  to  that  followed  last  win- 
ter, will  be  adopted  for  the  191 5  candidates. 
There  are  five  "M"  veterans  in  school  who 
have  promised  their  help  to  Captain  Coch- 
ran in  training  the  men  in  the  gymnasium. 
Captain  James  B.  Raynsford  of  the  1914 
Varsity,  **Tommy"  Hughitt,  "Eftie"  James, 
"Hub"  BushneU  and  Frank  McHale.  These 
athletes  graduate  in  June,  but  they  have 
enlisted  in  the  ranks  of  instructors,  as  their 
last  contribution  to  Michigan  gridiron  ath- 
letics. During  the  indoor  training  period, 
the  men  are  to  be  divided  into  squads,  each 
led  by  one  of  these  veterans,  and  exercises 
designed  to  develop  the  proper  muscles  wi'll 
constitute  the  principal  part  of  the  drills. 
The  various  squads  will  be  pitted  against 
each  other  in  tugs-of-war  and  other  gym- 
nasium games  found  beneficial  to  athletes 
in  training. 

The  spring  practice  season  will  last  for 
at  least  two  weeks,  and  perhaps  longer. 
Assistant  Coach  "Germany"  Schulz  will  be 
in  Ann  Arbor  to  help,  and  there  is  a  pos- 
sibility that  he  will  remain  after  the  two 
week  period,  to  continue  the  drills  started 
by  Yost.  This  program  was  followed  suc- 
cessfully last  spring,  and  its  continuation  is 
probable.  So  great  was  the  enthusiasm 
shown  by  the  candidates  who  turned  out 
for  the  meeting  last  month,  that  it  is  prac- 
tically certain  that  the  spring  training  squad 
will  be  a  records-breaker. 


BASEBALL  PROSPECTS 

When  Coach  Carl  Lundgren,  of  the 
Michigan  Varsity  baseball  team,  dropped 
into  Ann  Arbor  last  month  for  a  short 
"scouting"  visit,  he  announced  that  the 
indoor  practice  season  for  his  athletes 
would   start   on    February    14th.     Captain 


Edmon  P.  McQueen  of  the  191 5  nine  has 
laid  his  plans  accordingly,  and  on  that  date 
the  diamond  candidates  will  make  their 
1915  bow. 

The  present  plan  of  preliminary  drill 
calls  for  the  reporting  of  the  battery  can- 
didates only  on  the  first  few  days.  Ltind- 
gren  followed  this  program  successfully 
last  year,  and  intends  that  the  same  system 
shall  rule  in  his  coming  preparation.  The 
coach  will  work  with  the  pitchers  and 
catchers  for  the  first  week,  or  maybe  two, 
and  then  the  general  call  for  candidates 
will  be  issued,  and  all  aspirants  will  be  al- 
lowed to  take  part  in  the  daily  drills  at 
Waterman  gymnasium. 

If  the  history  of  previous  years  is  re- 
peated during  the  coming  season.  Coach 
Limdgren  will  be  forced  to  prepare  his 
men  for  the  southern  invasion  by  nothing 
more  strenuous  than  indoor  training.  In 
the  spring  of  19 14  he  was  able  to  take  the 
squad  on  the  open-air  diamond  for  but 
a  few  days.  Unless  the  Weather  Man  is 
unusually  propitious  this  season,  the  same 
will  be  the  case  for  the  nine  which  the 
former  Illinois  University  star  and  Cub 
player  will  lead  into  the  Southland  on 
April  9th. 

With  practically  a  whole  team  of  vet- 
erans ready  for  the  first  practice,  Michigan 
rooters  are  confidently  looking  for  another 
baseball  season  like  the  championship  one 
of  1914.  When  Carl  Lundgren  came  to 
Ann  Arbor  last  spring  for  his  first  year  as 
Varsity  coach,  and  in  that  year  made  the 
Michigan  nine  the  collegiate  champion  of 
the  country,  the  students  bestowed  upon 
him  their  loyal  affection  and  faith.  And 
they  believe  that  this  year  he  will  be  able 
to  repeat.  When  Lundgren  took  charge 
of  the  Varsity  squad  in  February  of  I9i4» 
he  was  unknown  to  the  players,  as  they 
were  unknown  to  him.  The  athletes  knew 
nothing  of  their  new  coach's  methods  and 
he  knew  nothing  of  their  ability.  This  year 
the  reverse  is  true.  Lundgren  knows  what 
each  man  can  do,  and  he  knows,  also,  a 
good  deal  about  the  recruits  who  will  ap- 
pear for  Varsity  practice  as  sophomores 
this  month. 

Although  six  veterans  of  the  1914  nine 
graduated  last  June,  there  are  "M"  men 
left,  in  every  instance,  to  take  their  places. 
Catchers  Baer  and  Hippler,  Pitchers 
Quaintance  and  Baribeau,  First  Baseman 
Howard  and  Short-stop  Baker  will  be  miss- 
ing from  the  ranks  when  Lundgren  calls 
his  Varsity  roll  over  at  Waterman  Gym- 
nasium. The  loss  of  Baer  and  Hippler, 
under  ordinary  circumstances,  would  be 
very  nearly  a  fatal  one,  for  it  wipes  out 
the  entire  Varsity  catching  staff.  But  the 
gap  is  effectively  filled  by  the  return  to  the 
University    of    '*Chuck"    Webber,    Varsity

backstop  in  1913,  and  a  capable  receiver. 
This  veteran  will  no  doubt  be  called  on  to 
do  the  bulk  of  the  heavy  work  behind  the 
bat,  but  he  will  bave  some  valuable  assist- 
ance when  Lundgren  picks  his  substitute 
catchers  out  of  the  squad  made  up  of  Mc- 
Graw,  Harshman,  Splawn,  Krause  and  Gee. 
These  last-named  players  are  all  recruits, 
having  played  on  class  teams  or  the  1914 
freshman  squad. 

Of  the  men  who  won  "M"s  in  1914,  Cap- 
tain Sisler,  Ferguson  and  Davidson,  pitch- 
ers, Captain-elect  McQueen,  Hughitt,  Shiv- 
el  and  Waltz,  infielders,  and  Sheehy,  Ben- 
ton ami  Labadie,  outfielders,  are  all  eligible 
for  play  this  spring,  a  veteran  for  every 
position,  if  necessary.  But  every  indica- 
tion points  to  the  tenure  of  more  than  one 
Varsity  berth  by  a  youngster,  a  player  who 
has  not  yet  won  his  Varsity  stripes. 

Sisler,  Ferguson  and  Davidson  form  the 
nucleus  of  a  pitching  staff  which  should 
be  even  stronger  than  that  of  1914.  The 
1918  nine,  coached  last  spring  by  Johnny 
Ijavan,  the  Ex-Athletic  and  now-Brown 
player,  will  send  up  McNamara  and  Flynn, 
while  the  Reserve  squad  will  contribute 
Metcalf.  Profiting  by  the  disastrous  ex- 
perience of  last  spring,  when  the  phenom- 
enal George  Sisler  "pitched  out"  his  arm 
during  the  first  month  of  the  season.  Coach 
Lundgren  is  preparing  this  year  to  let  the 
other  men  on  the  pitching  staff  do  the  brunt 
of  the  work  on  the  southern  trip  and  in 
the  early  "home"  games.  Then  Sisler  will 
be  in  shape  for  the  crucial  games  in  the 
east. 

To  fill  the  place  left  vacant  by  the  grad- 
uation of  Perry  Howard,  the  rooters  con- 
fidently expect  Maltby  to  make  good  at 
first  base.  This  lanky  player  made  a  more 
than  favorable  impression  during  his  fresh- 
man year,  and  he  is  eligible  for  play  now. 
Captain  McQueen  will  no  doubt  hold  on  to 
his  post  at  second  base,  where  his  fielding 
ability  and  batting  strength  make  him  an 
ideal  leader.  "Tommy"  Hughitt  will  work 
at  either  third  base  or  short  stop,  with 
Shivel  and  Waltz  fighting  it  out  for  the 
other  post,  provided,  of  course,  that  some 
recruit  does  not  make  good  over  them. 
Thomas,  Reagan  and  Leiserwitz  are  num- 
bered in  this  category  of  recruits  who  may 
prove  dangerous  to  the  veterans'  aspira- 
tions. 

A  veteran  outfield  presents  a  discourag- 
ing outlook  to  the  youngster  who  may  hope 
to  break  into  the  Varsity  ranks.  Sheehy. 
Benton  and  Labadie  have  all  won  their 
"M"s,  while  Sisler  is  a  valuable  man  in  the 
outer  gardens,  both  because  of  his  fielding 
ability  and  his  hitting  strength.  Robinson 
was  a  strong  contender  for  a  berth  in  the 
outfield  during  the  practice  sessions  last 
year,  and  will  no  doubt  repeat  this  spring. 


Niemann,  Patterson  and  Taylor  all  showed 
more  than  usual  ability  during  their  tenure 
on  the  1918  nine,  and  will  be  candidates 
this  month. 


MICHIGANS  RIFLE  CLUB 

Michigan  has  once  more  entered  the  col- 
legiate rifle  arena,  and  has  already  com- 
peted in  the  first  shoots  of  a  schedule  which 
will  last  until  the  latter  part  of  next  month. 
It  has  been  over  two  years  since  Michigan 
was  represented  by  a  rifle  team,  but  so 
enthusiastic  has  been  the  reception  accord- 
ed this  reorganized  Rifle  Club,  that  its  suc- 
cess seems  assured. 

Nearly  100  men  have  already  enrolled 
in  the  organization,  and  the  match  shoots, 
while  thus  far  failing  to  bring  out  any  real- 
ly high  scores,  have  laid  the  foundations 
for  the  recruiting  of  a  capable  team.  Mich- 
igan is  listed  among  the  Class  C  teams  of 
the  National  Rifle  Association  this  year^ 
but  the  leaders  of  the  Club  are  confidlent 
that  the  Wolverine  marksmen  will  next 
season  be  able  to  mount  to  a  higher  divi- 
sion, where  the  competition  will  be  of  a 
higher  order. 

Thus  far  the  Rifle  Club  has  been  under 
adverse  conditions,  and  the  complete  effect- 
iveness of  the  organization  has  been  some- 
what hindered.  Although  the  N.  R.  A.  and 
the  United  States  government  furnished 
some  assistance  in  the  way  of  equipment,, 
the  demand<j  of  the  large  number  of  mem- 
bers have  been  hard  to  meet  with  the  limit- 
ed facilities.  The  Club  has  been  under  a 
heavy  expense  in  the  purchase  of  rifles  and 
other  equipment,  but  it  is  hoped  that  con- 
ditions will  improve  either  from  some  out- 
side source  or  through  the  alumni. 

In  the  first  shoot  against  the  University 
of  Washington  team,  the  Michigan  marks- 
men fell  far  below  the  standard  which  had 
been  expected.  This  shoot  came  right  in 
the  middle  of  the  semester  examination 
period,  as  did  also  that  with  the  University 
of  Arizona,  and  the  chances  for  practice 
were  limited.  President  H.  H.  Moul,  of  the 
Rifle  Club,  has  been  acting  as  coach  to  the 
shooters,  while  the  active  direction  of  the 
club's  affairs  is  under  the  supervision  of 
Floyd  A.  Ro we.  Director  of  Intramural  Ath- 
letics. During  the  first  part  of  the  season, 
the  shooting  was  done  on  the  gallery  of 
the  Ann  Arbor  City  Armory,  but  the  shoot- 
ers have  since  transferred  their  activities 
to  the  field  house  of  the  interclass  athletes 
on  Ferry  Field. 

L.  C.  Wilcoxen  and  J.  D.  Steere  have 
thus  far  proven  the  best  marksmen  in  the 
Michigan  squad,  although  their  work  in  the 
Washmgton  match  was  far  below  that 
which  they  had  seemed  capable  of  doing. 
In  that  match  ten  men  shot  at  the  required

number  of  targets,  the  highest  five  deemed 
to  be  the  team.  It  was  their  total  which 
counted.  The  team  which  shot  against 
Washington  will  probably  be  changed  many 
times  before  the  final  match  is  staged 
against  Yale. 

The  following  are  the  scores  made  by 
the  Michigan  marksmen,  the  highest  pos- 
sible score  which  could  be  earned  by  each 
man  being  200 :

F.  W.  Wood 71  89  160 

R.   S.   Anderson    63  96  159 

In  the  course  of  the  schedule  which  has 
been  arranged  for  the  Michigan  team,  the 
Wolverines  will  meet  such  schools  as  Yale, 
Lehigh,  Nebraska,  Mississippi,  and  others 
scattered  all  over  the  United  States.  The 
majority  of  the  Michigan  opponents,  are, 
like  the  Wolverines,  new  entrants  into  the 
field  of  collegiate  shooting,  but  all  are 
striving  to  advance  above  the  Class  C  rank. 

The  following  is  the  schedule: 

Jan.  28.  University  of  Washington. 

Feb.     4.  University  of  Arizona. 

Feb.  II.  University  of  Kansas. 

Feb.  18.  Rhode  Island  State  College. 

Feb.  25.  University  of  Nebraska. 

Mar.    4.  Lehigh. 

Mar.  II.  Mississippi  Agricultural  and  Mechanical 

College. 

Mar.  18.  University  of  Idaho. 

Mar.  25.  Vale  University. 

PLANS  FOR  A  NEW  CREW 

At  a  meeting  of  the  Michigan  Union 
Boat  Club,  held  on  January  6  at  the  Union, 


plans  for  a  crew,  a  new  clubhouse  and  a 
race  course  on  Argo  Pond  were  perfected. 
Orover  Farnsworth,  of  Detroit,  for  three 
years  coxswain  of  the  Syracuse  eight,  and 
a  grandson  of  a  former  Regent  of  the  Uni- 
versity, attended  the  meeting  as  a  repre- 
sentative from  the  Detroit  Boat  Club.  He 
is  to  secure  the  co-operation  of  the  Detroit 
Club  and  to  oversee  the  raising  of  money 
from  the  two  thousand  or  more  alumni  in 
or  near  Detroit,  in  order  to  carry  out  the 
project.  According  to  Mr.  Farnsworth,  the 
two  mile  course  on  Argo  Pond  is  one  of 
the  finest  in  the  country.  The  Eastern 
Michigan  Edison  Company  has  promised  a 
building  site  and  $1,000  for  a  new  club- 
house, and  lumber  concerns  in  Detroit  are 
being  asked  to  furnish  the  necessary  lum- 
ber. The  building^  will  then  be  constructed 
by  students  sometime  during  the  spring.  If 
the  plans  for  a  Michigan  crew  mature,  In- 
tramural Director  Floyd  A.  Rowe,  '08(7,  will 
arrange  class  contests,  to  form  the  basis 
of  a  future  Varsity  crew. 

THE  FCX>TBALL  SCHEDULE 

Owing  to  the  fact  that  the  University 
opens  next  fall  a  week  later  than  last  year. 
Michigan  will  probably  have  but  eight 
games  on  her  football  schedule.  As  far  as 
is  known  at  present,  the  schedule  for  the 
191 5  season  will  be  as  follows :      • 

October    9 — Case. 

October  16 — Mount  Union. 

October  23— M.  A.  C 

October  30 — Syracuse. 

November    6--Comell. 

November  13— Pennsylvania  at  Philadelphia. 

In  addition,  two  Wednesday  afternoon 
games  will  probably  be  added  to  the 
schedule. 


THE  REGENTS'  MEETING 

It  is  aimed  in  this  section  to  ^ri^e  a  report  of  every  action  taken  by  the  Regents  of  general  interest. 
Routine  financial  business,  appointments  of  assistants,  small  appropriations,  and  lists  of  degrees 
granted,  are  usually  omitted. 


JANUARY  MEETING 

The  Board  met  in  the  Regents'  Room 
January  21,  1915.  Regent  Hanchett  and 
Regent  Gore  were  absent. — ^The  Committee 
on  Nomenclature  made  a  report,  which  was 
adopted,  with  the  understanding  (i)  that 
all  previous  regulations  are  to  be  inter- 
preted consistently  with  the  report,  and  (2) 
that  the  required  changes  mad«  in  the  di- 
ploma plates  should  date  from  Jan.  i,  191 6. 
This  report  is  printed  in  full  elsewhere. 
—Dean  Bates  and  Judge  Lane  appeared  a? 
representatives  respectively  of  the  Michi- 
gan   Union    and    the    Students'    Christian 


Association  relative  to  matters  the  subject 
of  discussion  between  these  organizations. 
The  informal  understanding  was  reached 
that  Professor  Bates  and  Professor  Lane 
should  consider  the  matter  further  and 
endeavor  to  report  a  joint  recommenda- 
tion at  the  next  meeting  of  the  Regents. 
In  the  meantime  the  University  Y.  M.  C.  A. 
is  to  confine  its  solicitation  of  funds  among 
the  alumni  of  the  University  to  subscrip- 
tions for  current  expenses. — ^The  salary  of 
Dr.  H.  H.  Cummings,  Executive  Head  of

At  the  last  smoker  of  the  University

Tavern,  West  Thirty-fifth  Street,  a  mem- 
ber called  attention  to  the  fact  that  the 
date  vr3LS  that  of  the  birthday  of  the  Pres- 
ident Emeritus  of  the  University.  It  was 
resolved  to  send  him  a  wireless.  The  two 
hundred  men  present  rose,  faced  Ann 
Arbor  in  the  West,  extended  their  right 
arms,  put  their  left  hands  on  their  hearts 


"in  order  that  the  waves  of  affection  might 
circulate  through  the  transmitter  and,  pass- 
ing out  of  the  fingers  through  the  circum- 
ambient, might  impinge  at  destination." 
The  senders  repeated  this  message  in 
unison : 

Prexy  Angell,  Grand  Old  Man, 
In  Ann  Arbor,  Michigan, 
Your  old  boys,  alumni  true. 
Birthday  greetings  send  to  you. 
Hale  and  hearty  may  you  be. 
From  U.  of  M.  Club,  N.  Y.  C.

ing it  by  wire  to  Ann  Arbor.

ciation the  graduates  of  the  University  of  Mich- 
igan in  New  York  City  and  vicinity,  but  also  of 
his  earnest  endeavor  to  make  the  association 
from  its  inception  representative  of  the  spirit  of 
co-education. 

Resolved,  That  in  his  death  the  New  York 
Alumnae  of  the  University  of  Michigan  r^ize

wife,  Mrs.  Mary  A.  Tweedy,  an  esteemed  mem- 
ber and  a  former  president  of  the  Club,  sincere 
sympathy  in  her  bereavement.

OBITUARIES 


KATHERINE  ELUS  COMAN 

Kathcrine  Ellis  Coman  was  bom  in  New- 
ark. Ohio,  in  1857.  In  1878  she  was  ad- 
mitted to  the  University,  graduating  in  1880 
with  the  degree  of  Ph.B.  Shortly  after  her 
graduation  she  was  called  to  Wellesley  Col- 
lege as  an  instructor  in  English,  later  be- 
coming an  instructor  in  History.  In  1886 
she  was  made  Professor  of  History  and 
Economics,  holding  this  position  until  1913, 
when  ill  health  forced  her  to  tender  her 
resignation.  Miss  Coman  had  always  been 
active  in  organizing  working  girls'  clubs, 
and  was  also  connected  with  the  social  set- 
tlement movement  from  its  beginning,  be- 
ing one  of  the  group  who  established  Den- 
ison  House.  For  a  time  she  served  as  pres- 
ident of  the  College  Settlements  Associa- 
tion. One  of  her  chief  interests  was  the 
International  Institute,  the  American  School 
for  Girls  in  Madrid,  for  which  she  had 
worked  since  her  first  visit  to  Spain  in 
1895-6.  Miss  Coman  was  also  warmly  in- 
terested in  the  progress  of  colored  people, 
and  was  responsible  for  starting  the  move- 
ment which  resulted  in  the  kindergarten  on 
the  Wellesley  College  Campus. 

When  in  191 3  her  health  so  far  failed 
that  she  gave  up  her  teaching,  by  the  advice 
of  her  friend,  Miss  Jane  Addams,  she 
turned  to  a  study  of  social  insurance 
against  sickness,  old  age,  accident  and  so 
forth,  in  different  European  countries.  She 
had  completed  for  The  Survey  nine  articles 


on  the  subject,  and  was  working  on  insur- 
ance legislation  adapted  to  American  condi- 
tions within  four  days  of  her  death. 

Miss  Coman  was  the  author  of  *'The 
Growth  of  the  English  Nation,"  "History 
of  England  for  Beginners,"  "English  His- 
tory as  Told  by  English  Poets,"  (with 
Katherine  Lee  Bates.)  "Industrial  History 
of  the  United  States"  and  "Economic  Be- 
ginnings of  the  Far  West." 

She  died  in  Wellesley,  January  11,  1915, 
and  was  buried  at  her  old  home  in  Newark. 


WILLIAM  JAMES  STUART 

William  James  Stuart  was  born  Novem- 
ber I,  1844,  at  Yankee  Springs,  Barry 
County,  Mich.  He  entered  the  University 
in  March,  1864,  graduating  from  the  Lit- 
erary Department  with  the  class  of  1868. 
and  from  the  Law  Department  in  1872.  He 
received  his  master's  degree  in  1876.  Judge 
Stuart  began  the  practice  of  law  in  Grand 
Rapids,  and  shortly  after  embarked  upon 
an  active  political  career.     From  1880  to 

1882  he  served  as  city  attorney,  and  as  a 
member  of  the  Board  of  Education  from 

1883  to  1885.  In  1888  he  was  elected  pros- 
ecuting attorney,  holding  this  position  for 
two  years,  and  in  1892-3  he  served  two 
terms  as  mayor  of  the  city.  In  1905  he  was 
elected  Judge  of  the  Superior  Court,  the 
position  he  held  at  the  time  of  his  death. 
He  died  on  Januar>'  20,  191 5.  at  Grand 
Rapids. 


BOOK  REVIEWS 


The  Alumnus  reviews  recently  published  works  by  abamni,  former  students,  or  members  of  the 
Faculty,  and  works  directly  relating  to  the  University.  Copies  of  such  books,  sent  for  review,  are 
placed  in  the  Alumni  Library  in  the  Alumni  Room. 


THE  GERM-CELL  CYCLE  IN  ANIMALS 

Professor  Hegner  has  added  since  the 
year  1910.  four  books  to  the  list  intended 
for  students  and  teachers  of  biological  sub- 
jects. The  present  volume  is  the  outcome 
of  a  course  of  lectures  given  for  the  first 
time  during  the  year  1014  before  a  class  in 
cytology  at  the  University  of  Michigan. 

"Contrary  to  the  usual  custom,  the  period 
(f.  e.  in  the  history  of  the  sexual  products) 
"that  is  emphasized  in  this  book,  is  not  the 
maturation  of  the  germ-cells,  but  the  segre- 
gation of  the  germ-cells  in  the  developing 
egg  and  the  visible  substances  (keimbahn 
determinants)  concerned  in  the  process." 

There  are  ten  chapters;  the  first  intro- 
ductory, the  second  devoted  to  a  general 


account  of  the  germ-cell  cycle  in  animals, 
the  third  giving  a  description  of  the  cycle 
in  the  fly,  Miastor.     Chapters  IV,  V,  and 

VI  consider  the  phenomena  of  segregation 
in  the  several  groups  of  animals;  chapter 

VII  deals  with  the  case  of  hermaphrodit- 
ism; VIII,  discusses  the  so-called  keimbahn 
determinants  and  their  significance;  IX,  the 
chromosomes  and  mitochrondria,  whereas 
X,  treats  briefly  of  the  germ  plasm  theory. 
A  literature  list  of  some  444  titles,  an  au- 
thor index,  and  an  index  of  subjects,  com- 
plete the  volume.

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[February 


GODS  COUNTRY— AND  THE  WOMAN 

Like  the  majority  of  the  nine  other  nov- 
els to  his  credit,  James  Oliver  Curwood's 
new  book,  "God's  Country — and  the  Wo- 
man," is  a  story  of  the  far  North,  the  land 
lying  beyond  the  Great  Lakes  and  south  of 
the  Arctic  Circle.  In  this  district,  to  which 
he  has  given  the  name  of  "God's  Country," 
he  spends  half  of  every  year,  cutting  trails, 
hunting  big  game  and  making  friends  with 
the  Indians,  half  breeds  and  whites  of  the 
Hudson's  Bay  trading  posts.  He  claims  a 
larger  acquaintance  among  these  people  of 
the  Far  North  than  any  other  white  man, 
not  excepting  men  of  "the  Company."  So 
it  is  that  he  writes  with  a  first-hand  knowl- 
edge of  the  country  and  the  life  he  por- 
trays, and  he  writes  both  vividly  and  enter- 
tainingly. His  characters,  too,  are  all  real 
people,  taken  from  among  his  friends  of 
the  North.  As  for  the  story  itself,  it  is  a 
stirring  romance,  with  action  on  every 
page,  and  a  strong  thread  of  mystery  run- 
ning through  it  which  keeps  the  reader 
hurrying  on  breathlessly  to  the  climax. 
The  plot  hangs  on  the  strange  promise 
Philip  Weyman  is  called  upon  to  make  by 
a  girl  whom  he  meets  and  loves  far  tip  in 
the  northern  country,  and  his  attempts  to 
solve  the  mystery  which  hangs  over  Adare 
House,  her  home.  If  one  may  venture  a 
criticism,  it  would  be  that,  at  the  end,  the 
climax  does  not  seem  to  justify  the  keyed- 
up  interest  in  Josephine's  mysterious  fate.

SCHOOL  EFFICIENCY 

This  book,  bearing  as  a  sub-title,  "A 
Constructive  Study  Applied  to  New  York 
City,  Being  a  Summary  and  Interpreta- 
tion of  the  Report  on  the  Educational  As- 
pects of  the  School  of  Inquiry"  is  the  first 
of  a  series  of  volumes  known  as  the  School 
Efficiency  Series,  of  which  Professor  Paul 
H.  Hanus  is  editor,  as  well  as  the  author 
of  this  first  volume.  The  series  is  to  con- 
sist of  monographs — with  additions  plainly 
indicated  in  each  volume — constituting  the 
report  of  Professor  Hanus  and  his  asso- 
ciates on  the  schools  of  New  York  City, 
but  the  controlling  ideas  are  applicable  as 
well  in  one  public  school  system  as  in  an- 
other. 

This  volume  as  its  name  implies  is  an 
outline  of  the  ver>'  interesting  work  of  the 
committee.  After  considering  the  report  as 
a  whole,  the  questions  of  Standards  in  Ed- 
ucation, Elementary  Schools,  Certain  Prob- 
lems in  the  Administration  of  the  Elemen- 
tary Schools.  Vocational  Schools.  High 
Schools,  the  System  of  General  Supervision 


and  the  Board  of  Examiners,  and  the 
Board  of  Education  and  the  Local  School 
Boards  are  taken  up  in  separate  chapters. 
To  those  who  wish  to  study  in  detail  the 
suggestive  work  of  this  committee  the  sub- 
sequent volumes  in  the  series  will  be  neces- 
sary. In  this  introduction  Professor  Han- 
us has  confined  himself  largely  to  giving 
in  comparatively  short  and  suggestive  chap- 
ters a  remarkably  detailed  view  of  the  edu- 
cational plant  of  our  greatest  city.  In  ad- 
dition the  recommendations  of  the  commit- 
tee are  included  at  the  end  of  each  logical 
division.  These  are  not  the  least  interest- 
ing parts  of  the  book.

BOOK  AND  MAGAZINE  NOTES 

Walter  B.  Stevens,  '70,  is  the  author  of 
a  little  book  entitled  "Eleven  Roads  to  Suc- 
cess Charted  by  St.  Louisans  Who  Have 
Traveled  Them."  In  his  preface  Mr.  Stev- 
ens says  that  the  inspiration  of  these 
sketches  was  the  widespread  newspaper 
comment  on  the  late  Joseph  Pulitzer,  to 
whose  memory  the  book  is  dedicated.  Mr. 
Pulitzer's  son  suggested  to  Mr.  Stevens 
that  he  write  a  series  of  talks  with  nota- 
bly successful  St.  Louis  men,  showing  how 
they  started  and  to  what  they  owed  ad- 
vancement in  life.  The  talks  appeared  first 
in  the  Post-Dispatch,  and  the  interest 
which  they  aroused  led  to  their  publication 
in  collective  form.  Interviews  with  the  fol- 
lowing men  are  given:  E.  C.  Simmons, 
Samuel  Cupples,  James  Campbell,  Adolph- 
us  Bu.sch.  Festus  J.  Wade,  Elias  Michael, 
Charles  P.  Johnson,  John  Scullin,  W.  K. 
Bixby,  D.  R.  Francis  and  J.  J.  Glennon. 

The  memorial  addresses  on  the  life  and 
character  of  Hon.  William  W.  Wedemeyer, 
'04,  '95/,  of  Ann  Arbor,  Congressman  from 
Michigan,  whose  death  occurred  two  years 
ago  last  month,  delivered  in  the  House  of 
Representatives  and  the  Senate  of  the  Uni- 
ted States,  on  February  16  and  February 
22.  1 913.  have  recently  been  published  un- 
der tine  direction  of  the  Joint  Committee  on 
Printing.  The  addresses  make  a  volume  of 
nearly  a  hundred  pages,  with  a  fine  por- 
trait of  Mr.  Wedemeyer  for  a  frontispiece. 

Lyman  L.  Bryson,  *io,  instructor  in  Rhet- 
oric in  the  University,  was  the  author  of  a 
story  published  in  the  Sunday  Magazine  of 
The  Detroit  Free  Press  for  January  24. 
The  title  was  "In  His  Own  House,**  and 
the  story  was  illustrated  with  a  picture  by 
Walter  Whitehead.

U.  T.  Dagistan,  '03,  has  recently  announced 
the  change  of  his  name  to  James  T.  Stanley.  The 
change  was  made  on  January  23  by  action  of  the 
Probate  Court  for  Kalamazoo  Cotmty.  Mr.  Stan- 
ley  gives  as  his  reasons  for  making  the  change 
the  fact  that  his  former  name  has  been  a  con- 
stant source  of  confusion  in  professional,  busi- 
ness and  social  relations,  people  finding  it  hard 
to  remember,  difficult  to  spell  and  impossible  to 
pronounce.  He  sa:^s  that  the  change  has  not 
been  decided  upon  in  haste,  but  has  oeen  under 
advisement  for  years,  and  that  the  adoption  of 
a  simpler  and  more  practical  name  seemed  the

Marv  F.  Famsworth,  'o^,  Claire  M.  San- 
ders, ^04,  and  Loretta  F.  Sanders,  of  Detroit, 
returned  last  month  from  a  world-girdling  tour 
that  began  June  22.  After  a  visit  to  the  Amer- 
ican Rockies,  the  party  left  San  Francisco  on 
July  II,  and  arrived  in  Japan  a  few  days  after 
the  outbreak  of  the  war.  Thev  found  the 
Japanese  cities  quiet,  but  in  Kobe  Harbor  a  fleet 
of  twenty  transports  waiting  to  take  troops 
aboard,  thus  showing  the  preparedness  of  the 
Tokio  government,  which  a  few  days  later  en- 
tered the  war  on  the  side  of  the  Allies.  Cros- 
sing to  Korea,  they  paid  a  visit  to  some  mis- 
sionary friends  in  Seoul,  and  then  by  rail  passed 
into  Manchuria  to  visit  the  cities  made  famous 
by  the  war  between  Russia  and  Japan.  In  China 
the  only  sign  of  war  was  a  Pearl  River  steamer 
heavily  armed.  A  brief  visit  to  Batavia,  Java, 
was  followed  by  a  trip  to  India,  where  for  tne  first 
time  they  felt  the  war  spirit  in  the  air.  In  all  the 
large  cities,  defenses  were  being  strengthened 
and  troops  added.  When  the  Dutch  ship  on 
which  the  party  was  sailing  reached  Colombo,  two 
passengers  came  aboard  who  were  French  sailors 
whose  ship  had  been  sunk  in  the  Harbor  of 
Penang  in  the  Straits  Settlements  by  the  Emden. 
In  Egypt  the^  foimd  martial  law,  and  they  were 
the  onlv  tourists  in  the  city  at  the  time,  about 
the  middle  of  December.  The  famous  Shepherd 
Hotel  at  Cairo  was  the  headquarters  for  the 
British  officers,  while  thousands  of  yoimg  British 
soldiers  were  being  trained  there.  Leaving  Egypt, 
they  ^ot  their  first  taste  of  war  when  a  French 
warship  held  them  up,  and  took  off  some  contra- 
band skins.  A  few  hours  later  a  second  French 
cruiser  stopped  them,  and  took  two  Austrians 
from  the  ship.  After  that  they  were  stopped  at 
Gibralter.  and  heard  no  more  of  the  war  until 
they  landed  in  New  York,  January  20.  Evidences 
of  the  war  preparations  were  seen  when  the  party 
arrived  in  Italy,  troops  passing  them  in  the 
streets  of  Genoa  and  Naples,  all  headed  for  Flor- 
ence and  other  northern  cities.  While  the  travel- 
ers were  in  Egypt,  the  mother  of  the  Misses 
Sanders  died  following  an  operation  for  ap- 
pendicitis, but  they  did  not  hear  of  her  death 
until  arriving  in  Naples  two  weeks  later.

Jan.   14,   191 5. 
To  the  Men  of  the  Class  of  1909: — 

Some  months  ago  I  wrote  a  dozen  or  more 
of  the  men  of  the  class  asking  them  to  co-operate 
with  me  in  getting  the  correct  addresses  and 
such  news  items  as  possible  of  the  members  of 
the  class.  I  also  tried  to  get  vour  sentiment  re- 
garding a  class  directory.  While  the  response 
to^  our  inquiries  has  not  been  as  complete  as 
might  be  wished  yet  it  has  been  sufficient  to 
convince  me  that  it  is  better  to  make  a  more 
extended  use  of  the  columns  of  The  Alumnus  than 
to  publish  a  class  directory  every  two  or  three 
years.  If  the  women  of  the  class  will  keep  Mrs. 
White  informed  concerning  themselves  and  the 
men  will  do  the  same  by  me,  we  secretaries  will 
do  all  in  our  power  to  make  our  column  in  Tlie 
Alumnus  both  useful  and  readable.  We  will  also 
do  our  best  to  keep  on  file  the  correct  address 
of  every  members  of  the  class.  However,  we 
can  accomplish  neither  of  these  objects  unless 
you  co-operate.  Will  you  not,  then,  make  it  a 
special  point  to  send  me  an  item  about  yourself 
from  time  to  time  and  be  especially  sure  to  notify 
me   of  any   change   of  address. 

With  all   good  wishes,   I   am, 
Sincerely  yours, 

Edmund  B.  Chaffee

5%  On  Your  Savings 

In  investing  the  money  you  save  there  are  two  principal  things  to  be 
considered — Safety  and  Interest. 

The  First  Mortgage  Real  Estate  Bonds  sold  by  this  Company  afford  un- 
questioned safety — they  are  legal  investments  for  Trust  Funds,  and  they  pay 
5%  net  interest,  free  from  taxation,  a  higher  rate  than  can  be  obtained  else- 
where with  equal  safety. 

The  Bonds  can  be  bought  in  denominations  from  $50  to  |1,000  to  suit  your 
convenience.  Each  Bond  is  the  direct  obligation  of  the  owner  of  one  specific 
piece  of  property,  giving  the  investor  a  tangible  security. 

The  U.  of  M.  Alumni  Association  has  invested  in  these  Bonds  for  its  En- 
dowment Fund.

Michigan  Alumnus 


Vol.  XXI. 


MARCH,  1915 


No.  202 


EVENT  AND  COMMENT 


There  are  thousands 
RICHARD  of  alumni  of  the  Uni- 

HUDSON.7I  versity  who  will  feel 
a  personal  loss  in  the 
recent  death  of  two  men  whose  names 
have  long^  been  identified  with  the  his- 
tory of  the  University.  Richard  Hud- 
son, '71,  Professor  of  Histor\'  from 
1888  to  191 1,  and  Dean  of  the  College 
of  Literature,  Science  and  the  Arts 
from  1897  to  ^907^  died  on  February 
22,  1915.  Dr.  William  F.  Breakey, 
for  over  fifty  years  a  physician  in  Ann 
Arbor,  who  became  lecturer  on  Der- 
matology in  the  Medical  School  in 
1890,  and  in  1905  a  Professor  in  that 
subject,  died  on  February  13,  1915. 
Memorials  to  the  memory  of  both  of 
these  men  will  be  presented  to  the  Uni- 
versity Senate  at  its  next  meeting.  They 
will  appear  in  the  April  Alumnus. 
Ct  Of  Dean  Hudson  it  is  not  too  much 
to  say  that  with  the  exception  of  those 
of  the  ver>'  earliest  and  the  very  lat- 
est years,  almost  every  graduate  of 
the  College  of  Literature,  Science  and 
the  Arts,  as  well  as  many  in  the  pro- 
fessional schools,  will  feel  his  death  as 
a  personal  loss.  We  all  knew  *'Huddie*' 
and  we  loved  him.  His  little  pecul- 
iarities were  of  the  kind  that  we  asso- 
ciate with  fond  memories  of  the  man 
whom  we  knew  as  a  painstaking  and 
effective  teacher,  honest  and  good,  a 
worthy  graduate  of  the  University  he 
served  so  well  throughout  his  life.  He 
was  an  intimate  friend  of  many  of 
that  band  of  *elder  statesmen*  who 
moulded  the  University  in  her  earlier 
years,  and  of  whom  the  University  is 
so  proud.    His  collection  of  memora- 


bilia was  large,  but  not  larger  than  his 
fund  of  personal  experiences  and  well- 
told  anecdotes.  We  shall  all  miss  him. 
Though  he  had  had  no  official  connec- 
tion with  the  University  for  several 
years,  beyond  his  emeritus  professor- 
ship, his  wanderings,  from  Detroit  to 
New  York,  where  he  died,  or  to  the 
South,  or  to  London,  Paris  or  Italy, 
always  brought  his  familiar  figure, 
with  his  ruddy,  genial  face  and  his 
hands  deep  in  the  pockets  of  his  coat, 
back  to  the  walks  of  the  Campus  he 
loved.  (U,  His  former  students  will 
remember  with  gratitude  his  infinite 
pains  to  present  his  subject  in  the 
clearest  light.  Who  of  us  who  have 
sat  in  his  classes  will  forget  his  insist- 
ence upon  the  significance  of  the 
Reichsdeputationshanptschluss  or  the 
sudden  gathering  of  forces  when  after 
a  series  of  careful  discussions  of 
events  in  **Flanders"  and  the  "Low 
Countries"  and  the  "Flemish  cities," 
we  were  suddenly  confronted  with  the 
question  in  the  examination,  "Trace 
the  history  of  Belgium."  It  was  an 
illustration  of  his  painstaking  presen- 
tation of  detail,  which  suddenly  put  to 
proof  the  ability  of  his  class  to  view 
history  in  its  broader  aspects. 


DR.  JAMES  F. 
BREAKEY.  5901 


To  his  friends  in  the 

Medical    School,    the 

memory    of    Dr. 

Breakey  will  have  an 

equally  tender  place. 

Though  his  official  connection  did  not 

begin  until  the  later  years  of  his  life, 

with  the  exception  of  one  year  spent

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[March 


as  an  assistant  and  demonstrator  in 
Anatomy  in  the  sixties,  he  was  for 
over  half  a  century  one  of  the  leading 
alumni  of  the  University  in  the  City  of 
Ann  Arbor,  and  a  friend  of  many  of 
the  men  on  the  early  faculties  of  the 
University.  Possibly  no  more  just  or 
fitting  tribute  to  the  memory  of  E>r. 
Breakey  can  be  made  than  to  give  a 
portion  of  Dr.  Angell's  appreciation  of 
his  work  at  the  dinner  given  on  March 
31,  1909,  in  commemoration  of  the 
fiftieth  anniversary  of  Dr.  Breakey's 
graduation.  H  "Sitting  in  Doctor 
Breakey's  office  as  I  often  did,"  said 
Dr.  Angell,  "I  inevitably  fell  in  with 
many  of  his  patients,  among  them  the 
aged,  the  infirm,  the  desolate,  the  un- 
cared  for,  who  never  had  money  to  pay 
fees,  and  were  never  asked  for  them. 
Seeing  what  comfort  and  cheer  this 
coming  into  his  office  afforded  them,  it 
gave  me  great  delight  to  look  into 
their  faces,  and  I  know  it  gave  it  to 
the  doctor  himself.  I  have  wondered 
if  some  of  you  men  who  lecture  in 
medical  schools  have  power  to  impart 
this  to  your  pupils.  I  think  that  no 
power  should  be  more  coveted  by 
young  medical  students  entering  into 
professional  life  than  the  power  to 
carry  this  winsomeness  with  them.  It 
is  worth  all  the  medical  science  that 
one  can  learn.  This  power  belongs  to 
you  as  to  no  other  class  of  men.  I 
refer  to  that  because  I  take  great 
pleasure  in  saying  that  in  this  long  and 
intimate  relation  with  Dr.  Breakey,  I 
had  occasion  to  congratulate  him  and 
his  patients  that  that  was  one  of  the 
gifts  bestowed  upon  him  by  his  Maker. 
I  trust  that  some  of  these  young  men, 
who  do  not  realize  this  as  some  of  us 
laymen  do,  will  covet  this  gift,  and 
seek  for  it  as  for  hidden  treasure." 


Unquestionably   one 
THE  NEED  FOR  A  of  the  greatest  needs 
NEW  HOSPITAL     of  the  University  is  a 
new  hospital  for  the 
use  of  the  Medical  School.    The  pres- 
ent hospitals  are  entirely  inadequate. 


The  science  of  medicine  has  made 
such  rapid  advances  within  the  last 
generation  that  the  buildings  are  ab- 
solutely out  of  date  for  the  purposes 
for  which  they  were  designed.  Nor 
even  if  they  were  large  enough  could 
they  be  made  adequate.  From  the 
ground  up,  their  construction  is  wrong 
in  the  light  of  modern  sanitary  and 
medical  science.  An  entirely  new 
building  is  necessary.  Ct  To  provide 
this  and  the  laboratory,  teaching,  and 
research  facilities,  necessary  accom- 
paniments to  such  a  large  hospital,  will 
demand  a  large  appropriation.  We  feel, 
however,  that  it  will  be  an  expense 
which  will  be  cheerfully  met  by  the 
people.  The  work  of  the  Hospital  is 
too  well  known  to  be  limited  by  in- 
adequate facilities.  Last  year  8,027 
patients  were  cared  for  in  the  period 
from  July  i,  to  June  30,  1914.  At 
this  time  last  year  5,222  had  been 
cared  for  since  July  i ;  this  year  the 
number  is  5,747,  an  increase  of  525. 
During  the  last  week  of  February  a 
year  ago,  267  patients  were  registered. 
This  year  at  the  same  time  329  were 
received  for  treatment,  an  increase  of 
62.  This  means  that  there  has  been 
a  waiting  list  of  from  15  to  20  for 
the  past  six  weeks.  Among  the  num- 
ber cared  for  are  from  300  to  400 
children  who  are  sent  for  treatment 
if  they  are  born  with  any  defect  or 
malady,  and  their  parents  are  unable 
to  provide  medical  attention.  Even 
if  the  building  were  properly  con- 
structed for  the  requirements  of  mod- 
ern medicine  and  surgery  this  growth, 
which  is  crowding  every  available 
inch  of  room,  would  make  a  new 
building  imperative.  Ct  Meanwhile, 
there  are  many  ways  in  which  the 
alumni  can  help  in  the  work  the  Uni- 
versity is  doing  through  the  endow- 
ment of  rooms,  beds  and  wards. 
Some  alumni  have  already  recognized 
the  opportunity,  as  in  the  gift  of  Wal- 
ter Gradle,  '00,  announced  elsewhere, 
and  we  shall  see  more  of  these  endow- 
ments in  the  future.     The  advantage

EVENT  AND  COMMENT

of  such  a  hospital  as  the  University 
maintains  is  two-fold.  It  gives  the 
poor  of  the  State  the  very  best  med- 
ical service  obtainable,  and  at  the  same 
time  affords  the  students  a  chance  for 
the  widest  range  of  clinical  material. 

Washington's  Birth- 
n^ori'^^  day  according  to  the 
coNSTmmoN    established      custom, 

was  duly  celebrated 
this  year  by  the  Law  School.  On  the 
same  day  the  Founders  Day  Exer- 
cises of  the  Medical  School  were  cele- 
brated, at  which  Dr.  William  J.  Mayo, 
'83m,  A.M.  (hon.)  '00,  ScD.  (hon.) 
'08,  gave  the  principal  address.  A 
summary  of  the  program  appears  else- 
where. CE;  Hon.  James  R.  Garfield, 
the  Secretary  of  the  Interior  under 
President  Roosevelt,  (Williams,  '85,) 
gave  the  principal  address  at  thci 
Washington's  Birthday  exercises  held 
under  the  auspices  of  the  senior  class 
in  the  Law  School  in  the  afternoon  in 
Hill  Auditorium.  O;  Mr.  Garfield's 
subject  was  "The  Power  and  Use  of 
Power  Under  the  Constitution."  The 
speaker  dwelt  upon  Washington's 
warning  as  to  constitutional  limita- 
tions, left  to  the  country  in  his  Fare- 
well Address,  and  showed  how  justi- 
fied those  warnings  were  by  subse- 
quent events.  The  statement  of  the 
objects  for  which  the  Constitution  was 
established,  he  showed,  was  purposely 
left  simple,  in  order  that  changes  in 
conditions  and  varying  aspects  of  Hfe 
sure  to  arise  might  be  reflected  in  the 
interpretation  of  the  Constitution.  This 
broad  and  statesmanlike  view  of  fun- 
damental principles  has  unfortunately 
been  modified.  The  growth  of  factions, 
feared  by  Washington,  has  led  to 
certain  limitations  to  the  Constitution 
which  were  not  contemplated  by  the 
original  framers.  In  Mr.  Garfield's 
view,  we  should  not  be  afraid  to  use 
the  powers  given  by  the  Constitution. 
As  a  matter  of  fact,  since  the  middle 
of  the  last  century,  we  have  been  afraid 


to  use  these  powers.  The  state  constitu- 
tions, particularly,  have  not  been  built 
up  as  definite  statements  of  the  objects 
of  the  Government,  but  rather  as  a 
series  of  limitations.  Hence  we  have 
had  to  evolve  such  negative  methods 
as  the  initiative,  referendum  and  recall 
to  deal  with  this  essentially  wrong 
principle  of  government.  H  The  most 
striking  point  of  Mr.  Garfield's  speech 
was  his  reference  to  the  necessity  for 
military  preparedness.  The  object  of 
the  Constitution  is  to  ensure  adequate 
measures  for  common  defense.  But  of 
what  use  are  such  powers  if  we  can- 
not defend  them  ?  Washington  in  his 
farewell  address  called  attention  to 
this  necessity  for  an  adequate  mili- 
tary power  which  will  preserve  the 
peace  of  the  nation.  Unless  we  put 
ourselves  in  a  position  to  defend  our- 
selves, we  may  lose  those  things  for 
which  our  nation  was  founded.  Un- 
preparedness,  maintained  Mr.  Garfield, 
invites  war,  and  never  prevents  war. 


EXECUTIVE  "^^  ^  meeting  of  the 

OOMMTTTEE  OF    Executive  Committee 
ADVISORY  of  the  Alumni  Advis- 

couNciL  MEETS  ^^y  Council,  held  in 
Ann  Arbor  on  February  20,  a  number 
of  matters  of  special  importance  were 
considered.  Owing  to  the  absence  of 
Mr.  Earl  D.  Babst,  '93,  '94/,  repre- 
sentative from  New  York,  the  matter 
of  the  proposed  "One  Per  Centers 
Club,"  which  was  submitted  by  the 
New  York  Club  to  the  Alumni  Ad- 
visory Council,  was  only  considered 
informally.  Final  action  was  de- 
ferred until  some  member  of  the  New 
York  Association  could  be  there  to 
present  the  matter.  H  Dean  Henry 
M.  Bates,  of  the  Law  School,  the 
chairman  of  the  Campaign  Committee 
of  the  Michigan  Union,  was  present, 
and  gave  a  report  upon  the  plans  of 
the  Union  which  was  received  with 
interest  by  the  members  of  the  Com- 
mittee. It  is  now  planned  to  open 
the  campaign  in  the  fall,  if  financial

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[March 


conditions  are  favorable.  The  General 
Secretary  of  the  Alumni  Association, 
as  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Directors 
of  the  Union,  also  reported  on  the 
plans  for  the  new  clubhouse,  which 
have  been  revised  in  several  import- 
ant particulars  by  the  architect,  I.  K. 
Pond,  '7CK,  A.M.  (hon.)  'ii,  of  Chi- 
cago. CD.  The  question  of  the  solicita- 
tion of  funds  by  the  Students'  Chris- 
tian Association  for  a  new  building, 
in  view  of  the  fact  that  the  Union  has 
been  given  the  right  of  way  for  five 
years,  received  serious  consideration. 
The  Students'  Christian  Association 
has  the  promise  of  $60,000  towards  a 
new  building,  provided  a  like  sum  is 
raised  before  October  i,  1915.  Judge 
Lane,  representing  the  S.  C.  A.,  stated 
that  there  was  some  likelihood  that  all, 
or  a  good  part,  of  the  money  would 
be  raised  by  subscription  outside  the 
alumni  body,  but  felt  that  it  would  be 
extremely  desirable  to  have  the  priv- 
ilege of  soliciting  certain  of  the  alumni 
in  case  the  amount  fell  short  of  the 
required  $60,000.  It  was  felt  by  some 
of  the  members  of  the  Committee  that 
there  was  little  real  antagonism  be- 
tween the  two  projects,  in  view  of  the 
fact  that  neither  organization  is  in 
opposition  to  the  other.  On  the 
contrary  their  work  has  been  so  ar- 
ranged through  a  mutual  understand- 
ing that  each  will  supplement  the 
other.  There  are  many  who  will  give 
to  the  Students'  Christian  Associa- 
tion who  would  perhaps  not  in  any 
case  give  to  the  Union,  while  others, 
in  perhaps  more  cases,  would  feel  that 
the  gift  to  the  S.  C.  A.  in  no  way  af- 
fects the  amount  given,  or  their  in- 
terest in,  the  Michigan  Union,  when 
the  time  comes  to  give  towards  that 
project.  In  view  of  these  facts,  the 
committee  felt  that  it  was  advisable 
to  recommend  that  the  Students' 
Christian  Association  solicit  funds  up 
to  the  amount  desired,  if  they  could 
raise  it  in  no  other  way,  aild  that  what- 
ever methods  be  used  be  approved  by 


Judge  Lane,  representing  the  Chris- 
tian Association,  and  Dean  Henry  M. 
Bates,  representing  the  Union. 


Not  the  least  import- 
TO  INVESTIGATE  ant  action  taken  by 
uviNGcor4DmoNSthe  Committee  at  this 

meeting  was  the  au- 
thorization of  the  appointment  of  a 
committee  to  investigate  living  condi- 
tions among  the  students  in  the  Uni- 
versity, and  to  report  to  the  Advisory 
Council  at  its  annual  meeting  in  June. 
That  some  such  committee  is  desirable 
is  evidenced  by  the  fact  that  Professor 
A.  H.  Lloyd,  chairman  of  the  Com- 
mittee on  Student  Affairs,  had,  en- 
tirely unknown  to  the  officers  of  the 
Alumni  Association,  considered  mak- 
ing such  an  investigation  the  next  item 
on  the  program  of  work  before  his 
committee.  H  While  the  scope  of  the 
work  before  this  committee  of  investi- 
gation is  not  defined  in  the  original 
motion,  it  was  understood  that  the  par- 
ticular subject  for  investigation  would 
be  the  rooming  and  boarding  houses. 
Not  that  conditions  are  particularly 
bad  in  many  cases,  often  they  are 
quite  the  reverse,  but  the  level  of  the 
poorer  ones  can  be  materially  raised, 
and  some  standard  can  be  established 
to  which  all  rooming  houses  and 
boarding  houses  might  be  reasonably 
expected  to  conform.  This  has 
already  been  done  with  great  success 
for  the  women  of  the  University,  as 
was  pointed  out  in  last  month's 
Alumnus,  It  now  remains  to  be  done 
for  the  men.  H  Problems  such  as 
these  are  presenting  themselves  con- 
tinually with  the  increasing  growth  of 
the  University.  This  action  may  well 
indicate  an  avenue  for  effective  ser- 
vice on  the  part  of  the  alumni  organi- 
zation. There  are  many  questions,  not 
primarily  of  an  academic  or  of  an  ad- 
ministrative character,  which  need 
thoughtful  investigation.  There  the 
help  of  the  alumni  may  be  of  the 
greatest  value.

EVENT  AND  COMMENT 


283 


The  present  war  in 
A  NEW  cx>URSE  Europe  has  attracted 
IN  AVIATION  considerable  attention 
to  the  subject  of  avia- 
tion and  incidentally  called  attention 
to  the  fact  that  in  this  matter  Europe 
IS  far  ahead  of  the  United  States.  For 
some  time  past  all  the  principal  Euro- 
pean countries  have  maintained  well 
equipped  laboratories  where  exhaust- 
ive scientific  experiments  relating  to 
aeronautics  have  been  conducted. 
Courses  in  the  subject  have  also  been 
established  at  a  number  of  the  leading 
universities.  CS.  In  this  country,  with 
the  exception  of  the  recently  estab- 
lished laboratory  at  the  Massachusetts 
Institute  of  Technology  and  the  ac- 
companying courses,  little  or  nothing 
has  been  done.  The  advisability  of 
offering  work  in  this  subject  has  been 
under  consideration  by  the  College  of 
Engineering  for  the  past  few  years, 
but  until  now  the  time  did  not  seem 
ripe.  The  interest  which  started  with 
the  formation  of  the  Aeronautical 
Society  some  few  years  ago  has 
somewhat  died  out.  Recently,  how- 
ever, it  has  revived  and  a  course  in  the 
science  of  aeronautics  has  been 
started.  The  work  has  been  put  under 
the  direction  of  Professor  Sadler,  of 
the  Department  of  Naval  Architecture, 
to  which  subject  it  is  somewhat  closely 
allied,  so  far  as  the  general  underlying 
theories  are  involved.  Associated 
with  him  is  Mr.  Pawlowski,  who  has 
recently  become  a  member  of  the  en- 
gineering staff.  Mr.  Pawlowski,  be- 
sides being  a  mechanical  engineer, 
has  made  a  special  study  of  aero- 
nautics, both  at  the  University  of 
Paris  and  in  Germany,  and  the  course 
started  this  semester  will  be  in  his 
chaise.  CS.  As  at  present  arranged, 
the  complete  work  will  consist  of  three 
or  four  courses  covering  the  general 
theory  of  aeronautics,  resistance  and 
propulsion,  stability,  etc.,  of  aero- 
planes ;  the  design  of  aeronautical  en- 
gfines  and  propellers;  and  finally  a 
drawing  and  design  course  covering 
the  complete  design  of  an  aeroplane. 


CL  It  is  also  hoped  that  in  the  near 
future  a  laboratory  may  be  established 
in  which  scientific  research  work  may 
be  carried  on. 


Of  particular  interest 
SOMETHINGS  was  the  meeting  of 
THE  UNION  DOES  the  Board  of  Direct- 
ors of  the  Michigan 
Union  on  February  13.  Not  that  it 
differed  materially  from  any  other 
meeting,  but  in  the  variety  of  the  ques- 
tions which  received  consideration,  it 
affords  a  strflcing  evidence  of  the  in- 
terests which  the  Union  as  an  organi- 
zation finds  within  its  province.  Aside 
from  the  questions  directly  connected 
with  the  maintenance  of  the  clubhouse, 
which  involved  certain  recommenda- 
tions on  the  part  of  a  professional 
company,  the  plans  for  the  coming  an- 
nual opera  were  discussed  at  length. 
The  question  as  to  whether  it  was 
practicable  to  give  this  year's  opera, 
"AH  That  Glitters,"  in  Hill  Auditor- 
ium or  in  the  local  theater,  as  hereto- 
fore, was  discussed,  together  with  the 
possibility  of  giving  six,  instead  of 
five,  performances.  The  importance 
of  the  Opera  lies  in  the  fact  that  not 
only  has  it  had  a  g^eat  place  in  student 
life  at  the  University,  but  the  income 
derived  from  it  goes  a  long  way 
towards  paying  the  running  expenses 
of  the  Union,  which,  in  spite  of  the 
2,800  members,  would  not  be  on  a  self- 
supporting  basis  were  it  not  for  the 
three  or  four  thousand  dollars  an- 
nually furnished  by  this  means. 
CH  Another  project  which  has  been 
fathered  by  the  Union  is  the  Michigan 
Union  Boat  Club,  designed  to  increase 
the  interest  in  aquatic  sports  through 
the  use  of  the  Huron  and  Barton 
Pond.  Certain  alumni,  particularly  in 
Detroit,  have  been  interested  in  estab- 
lishing a  crew,  and  have  even  gone  so 
far  as  to  offer  shells  and  other  para- 
phernalia in  the  hope  of  interesting 
the  University  in  this  branch  of  col- 
lege sport.    It  was  felt  by  the  Union,

[March 


however,  that  it  would  be  inadvisable 
to  do  more  than  has  been  done  in  the 
past,  in  view  of  the  fact  that  the  Ath- 
letic Association  was  not  in  a  place 
to  assume   further   responsibility. 
CH  The  establishment  of  a  general  elec- 
tion day  for  all  student  organizations 
was  a  further  suggestion  made  at  this 
meeting.    The  annual  election  of  the 
Athletic  Association,  of  the  officers  of 
the  various  student  publications  and  of 
the  officers  of  the  Union  all  fall  in  the 
spring.    Heretofore  they  have  all  been 
held  at  different  times  and  places  at  a 
great  cost  in  time  and  energy.    Under 
the  new  plan,  which  will  probably  be 
adopted,   a  large  and   representative 
vote  will  be  assured.     CL  One  of  the 
activities   maintained   by   the   Union 
throughout  the  year  is  an  employment 
agency   for  students   who   desire  to 
work  a  part  of  their  time.    This  work 
has  been  done  heretofore  by  a  student 
committee,  and  has  been  effective  in 
proportion  to  the  enthusiasm  and  ca- 
pacity   for   disinterested   and    rather 
thankless  service  on  the  part  of  the 
chairman  of  the  committee.    That  it 
has  been  successful  is  good  proof  of 
an    altruistic   spirit   on    the   part   of 
many  men  in  the  University,  but  the 
necessity  for  a  firmer  organization  led 
to  measures,  taken  at  this  meeting,  to 
place  the  work  of  the  bureau  through- 
out the  year  in  the  hands  of  one  of  the 
salaried  officials  of  the  Union.    It  was 
felt  that  the  work  had  increased,  and 
made  such  demands  on  the  student 
committeemen,  that  they  could  hardly 
be    fairly   expected   to   carry    it    all. 
CH  The  architect  of  the  new  Union 
building,  Mr.  I.  K.  Pond,  '79^,  A.M. 
(hon.)  '11,  of  Chicago,  was  also  pres- 
ent at  the  meeting,  and  presented  the 
plans  for  the  new  building,  which  he 
had  modified  in  certain  material  as- 
pects.    The  plans  for  the  campaign, 
which,  financial  conditions  permitting, 
will  be  opened  in  the  summer,  were 
also  presented  by  the  chairman  of  the 
Campaign  Committee,  Dean  Bates,  of 
the  Law  School. 


An  interesting  enter- 
™Ri^^UN.  f^se  recently  under- 
DAY  LECTURES     ^^*^^^  ^Y  *"«  Union  is 

the  establishment  of  a 
student  Forum  for  the  discussion  of 
more  or  less  burning  questions  before 
the  student  body.  These  take  the  form 
of  an  informal  meeting  held  every 
Thursday  evening  in  the  big  room  at 
the  Union.  At  these  meetings,  which 
are  to  be  for  general  discussion,  the  idea 
of  absolute  freedom  of  speech  is  fos- 
tered. While  a  definite  topic  of  dis- 
cussion for  each  evening  is  announced 
previously,  the  discussions  are  entirely 
extemporaneous.  The  chairman  is 
chosen  merely  to  preside  and  to  con- 
duct the  forum,  but  not  to  lead  the 
debate  except  in  the  matter  of  limiting 
the  length  of  speeches.  CL  According 
to  the  program  of  the  student  commit- 
tee in  charge,  faculty  men  are  to  be 
invited  to  take  part  in  the  discussion, 
but  pains  are  to  be  taken  "to  prevent 
the  forum  from  developing  into  a 
mere  lecture  course."  The  two  ques- 
tions which  have  already  been  consid- 
ered are  the  marking  system  in  the 
University,  interest  in  which  of  late 
has  not  been  confined  to  the  students 
alone,  and  the  ever  present  summer 
baseball  problem.  Some  topics  which 
are  to  be  considered  are  the  following: 

Is  the  Student  Council  Fulfilling  Its  Func- 
tion, and  is  the  System  of  Election  to  the 
Council  Satisfactory? 

Should  Military  Training  for  Students  be 
Introduced  at  Michigan? 

Is  the  Michigan  Campus  Better  for  the 
Presence  of  Fraternities? 

Has  the  Michigan  Union  a  Function  on  the 
Campus,  and  Is  It  Fulfilling  It  Satisfac- 
torily? 

Are  the  Honorary  (Not  Honor)  Societies 
Performing  a  Satisfactory  Function,  and 
Is  the  Method  Of  Selection  For  Them 
Fair? 

Is  Faculty  Supervision  of  Students*  Con- 
duct Outside  of  the  Class  Room  Justifia- 
ble Or  Desirable? 

CL  A  fair-minded  discussion  of  some 
of  these  problems  by  some  of  the  acut- 
est  intellects  among  the  undergradu- 
ates may  well  develop  some  interest-

EVENT  IN  BRIEF 

Professor  Masaharu  Anesaki,  form- 
erly of  the  Imperial  University  of 
Tokio,  and  for  the  past  few  years 
Professor  of  Japanese  Literature  and 
Life  at  Harvard  University,  gave  two 
lectures  at  the  University  last  month. 
The  first,  entitled  "J^P^^^se  Art,"  was 
given  in  Sarah  Caswell  Angell  Hall  on 
February  11,  and  the  second, 
''Prophets  of  Japanese  Buddhism,"  in 
Alumni  Memorial  Hall  on  the  follow- 
ing afternoon. 


The  senior  engineers  have  voted  to 
leave  a  memorial  in  the  shape  of  a 
loan  fund  of  $400,  to  be  immediately 
available  for  needy  senior  engineers. 

It  is  planned  to  set  out  in  the  near 
future  approximately  100,000  trees  of 
different  varieties  on  the  property  of 
the  Eastern  Michigan  Edison  Com- 
pany on  the  Huron  River  and  on  the 
University  Experimental  Farm  which 
is  located  about  four  miles  west  on 
Huron  St. 

In  place  of  M.  J.  Broussard,  '15/,  of 
Breaux  Bridge,  La.,  who  has  left  the 
University,  James  E.  Chenot,  '16,  of 
Detroit,  formerly  the  treasurer,  was 
elected  president  of  the  Cercle  Fran- 
cais  at  a  meeting  held  on  February  15. 
H.  B.  Corwin,  '17I,  Grand  Rapids,  was 
elected  treasurer  to  succeed  Mr. 
Chenot. 

Fire,  thought  to  be  due  to  a  defect- 
ive chimney,  brdce  out  in  the  Wom- 
an's League  House  at  1224  Washte- 
naw Ave.,  formerly  the  Hilary  House, 
once  the  home  of  Charles  Kendall 
Adams,  late  on  the  afternoon  of  Feb- 
ruary 18,  causing  a  loss  of  nearly 
$1,200.  The  entire  third  floor  and 
much  of  the  second  were  destroyed, 
although,  due  to  the  quick  work  of  a 
number  of  students  in  the  neighbor- 
hood, the  greater  part  of  the  furnish- 
ings and  clothes  were  saved. 

Faculty  and  students  alike  are 
agreed  in  saying  that  the  reinstated 
Junior  Hop,  held  on  the  Friday  even- 
ing between  semesters,  February  5, 
was  very  much  of  a  success.  Water- 
man Gymnasium,  where  the  dancing 
took  place,  was  decorated  more  lav- 
ishly than  was  usual  at  former  hops, 
with  the  walls  hung  with  flower 
covered  lattices,  to  represent  a  huge 
Venetian  garden.  The  music  was 
furnished  by  Finzel's  Orchestra,  of 
Detroit,  and  an  orchestra  composed  of 
musicians  in  the  Varsity  Band.

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[March 


W.  J.  Hussey,  Professor  of  Astron- 
omy and  Director  of  the  Observatory, 
with  Mrs.  Hussey  and  his  son  Row- 
land, arrived  in  Ann  Arbor  on  Feb- 
ruary 22,  after  having  spent  the  past 
six  months  at  La  Plata  University  in 
South  America.  The  party  sailed  for 
the  United  States  on  January  28. 

Roy  W.  Johnson,  '18,  of  Grand 
Rapids,  broke  the  Michigan  "strong 
man"  record  in  the  strength  tests  at 
Waterman  Gymnasium  last  month. 
He  also  came  within  100  points  of  the 
old  world's  record,  with  his  score  of 
2,567  points.  Roos,  of  Yale,  now 
holds  the  world's  record  with  2,970 
points,  which  he  made  about  six  wedcs 
ago,  and  which  is  300  points  above  the 
old  mark.  Johnson's  maiics  follow: 
back  lift  590;  lung  capacity  310;  leg 
lift  1,120;  grips  210  and  200;  chins 
14;  dips  10;  weight  180.  Dr.  May, 
who  is  conducting  the  tests,  asserts 
that  he  believes  that  with  practice 
Johnson  can  establish  a  new  world's 
record. 

Containing  an  account  of  the  work 
accomplished  during  191 3,  the  annual 
report  of  the  Michigan  Association 
for  the  Prevention  and  Relief  of  Tub- 
erculosis was  issued  last  June.  The 
total  receipts  of  the  Association 
amounted  to  $5,766.15,  the  greater 
part  of  which,  $5,400.05,  was  obtained 
from  the  sale  of  the  Christmas  seals. 
The  expenditures  totalled  $5,155.09, 
and  included  $2,337.16  for  saJaries 
and  traveling  expenses,  $710.35  for 
the  expense  of  the  annual  report  and 
special  publications,  $701.65  for  office 
expenses,  and  $1,116.85  for  visiting 
nurses,  leaving  a  balance  of  $611.06. 
Many  alumni  of  the  University  are 
actively  interested  in  this  Society.  Dr. 
Arthur  F.  Fischer,  '90m,  of  Hancock, 
is  president,  while  Dr.  Herman  Os- 
trander,  '84^^  of  Kalamazoo,  is  chair- 
man of  the  Executive  Committee,  and 
Dr.  Collins  H.  Johnston,  '81,  '83m,  of 
Grand  Rapids,  and  Dr.  V.  C.  Vaughan, 


'78m,  of  the  Medical  School,  are  mem- 
bers of  this  committee.  Regent  W. 
H.  Sawyer,  '84A,  of  Hillsdale,  is  chair-

Sir  Douglas  Mawson,  leader  of  the 
last  great  Antarctic  polar  expedition, 
delivered  his  illustrated  lecture,  "Rac- 
ing with  Death  in  Antarctic  Bliz- 
zards," in  Hill  Auditorium  on  the 
evening  of  Friday,  February  12.  Sir 
Douglas,  who  was  recently  knighted 
by  King  George  for  his  distinguished 
services,  is  acknowledged  to  be  one  of 
the  greatest  scientists  and  explorers  of 
the  present  day,  ranking  with  Peary 
and  Sir  Ernest  Shackleton,  whom  he 
accompanied  on  his  celebrated  Ant- 
arctic expedition.  He  is  a  professor 
in  the  University  of  Adelaide,  a  mem- 
ber of  the  Royal  Academy,  and  has  the 
distinction  of  being  one  of  the  first 
men  to  reach  the  summit  of  Mount 
Erebus  and  the  South  Magnetic  Pole. 
The  purpose  of  Dr.  Mawson's  expedi- 
tion was  to  learn  whether  the  land 
claimed  to  have  been  discovered  in 
1840  by  Captain  Wilkes,  of  the  U.  S. 
Navy,  really  existed,  and  his  lecture 
was  an  account  of  his  experiences.  It 
was  profusely  illustrated  with  lantern 
slides  and  motion  pictures  taken  by  the 
expert  photographer  who  accom- 
panied the  expedition.  It  has  recently 
been  delivered  before  the  National 
Geographic  Society  and  before  capac- 
ity audiences  in  many  of  the  larger 
cities.  The  lecture  was  given  under 
the  auspices  of  the  Department  of 
Geology  of  the  University,  the  pro- 
ceeds amounting  to  approximately 
$150,  going  to  the  General  Library.

Walter  Gradle,  '00,  of  Chicago,  has 
recently  made  an  endowment  to  the 
University  Hospital,  the  income  of 
which  is  to  be  used  for  such  needs  of 
the  Children's  Department  as  the  Hos- 
pital authorities  may  deem  to  be  most 
necessary.  This  endowment  is  to  be 
in  the  name  of  Mary  Skeels  Gradle. 
It  will  be  presented  to  the  Regents  at 
their  March  meeting. 

On  February  8,  a  party  from  the 
state  l^slature  consisting  of  the  com- 
mittee on  the  University,  the  house 
committee  and  several  members  at 
lai^e  visited  the  University  with  a

the  Department  of  Education,  and  the 
addition  to  the  Library.  After  visit- 
ing the  new  Power  Plant,  the  Hos- 
pitals and  the  University  Store  House, 
they  were  entertained  at  luncheon  at 
the  Union  by  President  Hutchins, 
Regents  Beal,  Bulkley  and  Clements 
being  also  present.  The  aftemoon 
was  spent  in  visiting  the  Campus 
buildings  and  in  listening  to  talks  by 
Professor  A.  S.  Whitney,  of  the  De- 
partment of  Education,  Librarian  T. 
W.  Koch,  Dean  Karl  E.  Guthe  and

success.  The  staff  of  instructors  con- 
sisted of  specialists  in  all  lines  of  high- 
way work,  including  Dean  M.  E. 
Cooley,  Professors  W.  C.  Hoad  and 
H.  C.  Riggs,  of  the  College  of  Engin-

cally  every  phase  of  road  construc- 
tion, considered  from  a  Michigan 
standpoint.  On  the  last  day,  Sat- 
urday, February  20,  Governor  Wood- 
bridge  N.  Ferris  addressed  the  mem- 
bers of  the  course  at  a  luncheon  given 
in  their  honor  in  Barbour  Gymnasium, 
while  in  the  morning  the  men  were 
shown  around  the  Campus  by  mem- 
bers of  the  senior  Civil  Engineering 
class.  During  the  afternoon's  session, 
a  petition  was  drawn  up,  asking  the 
Regents  of  the  University  for  a  repe- 
tition of  the  course  next  year  and  for 
the  publication  of  the  minutes  of  this 
yearns  course. 

"All  That  Glitters"  is  the  name 
chosen  for  the  191 5  Michigan  Union 
Opera.  It  is  to  be  given  in  the  Whit- 
ney Theater  in  Ann  Arbor,  Wednes- 
day, March  31,  and  Thursday,  Friday 
and  Saturday,  April  i,  2  and  3,  includ- 
ing a  matinee  on  Saturday,  as  usual. 
Arrangements  have  been  made  for 
performances  during  the  vacation  in 
Toledo,  Detroit,  Saginaw  and  Chicago, 
and  possibly  elsewhere.  Some  con- 
sideration was  given  to  the  question  as 
to  the  feasibility  of  giving  the  Opera 
in  Hill  Auditorium,  but  the  size  of  the 
building,  as  well  as  the  expensive 
changes  necessary  to  adapt  the  stage 
for  this  purpose,  made  it  seem  inad- 
visable to  attempt  to  make  the  change 
^his  year.  The  Opera  was  written  by 
Sylvan  S.  Grosner,  '12,  '14/^  of  Wash- 
ington, D.  C,  while  the  music  is  the 
joint  work  of  W.  R.  Mills,  '18,  of 
Flint ;  A.  J.  Gometzl^r,  '17,  of  Detroit ; 
and  Seymour  B.  Simons,  '17^,  of  De- 
troit. The  general  chairman  of  the 
Opera  is  Kenneth  S.  Baxter,  '15^,  of 
Detroit.  Eugene  B.  Sanger,  of  New 
York,  has  been  secured  to  produce  the 
Opera  this  year.  Mr.  Sanger  has  had 
wide  experience  with  both  profes- 
sional and  amateur  productions,  and 
has  been  connected  with  Daniel  Froh- 
man  and  A.  H.  Woods.  He  has  di- 
rected performances  of  the  Triangle 


Club,  of  Princeton  University,  the 
Hasty  Pudding  Club,  of  Harvard,  and 
the  Columbia  Club,  and  is  also  a 
former  director  of  the  American 
Academy  of  Dramatic  Arts,  of  New 
York. 

Under  the  chairmanship  of  Rudolf 
J.  Hoffman, '15,  the  employment  bureau 
of  the  Commerce  Club  of  the  Uni- 
versity is  making  plans  to  secure  posi- 
tions for  graduating  seniors  who  have 
taken  courses  in  the  Economics  De- 
partment. The  Club  aims  to  keep  in 
touch  with  various  business  houses, 
and  has  already  been  successful  in 
obtaining  positions  for  graduates. 

The  ninth  annual  banquet  of  the 
Cosmopolitan  Club  was  held  on  Thurs- 
day evening,  February  11,  at  New- 
berry Hall.  Among  the  speakers  were 
President  Emeritus  Angell,  Sir  J.  C. 
Bose,  of  the  University  of  Calcutta, 
Professor  Anesaki,  of  the  Imperial 
University  at  Tokio,  and  Dr.  John 
Mez,  president  of  the  International 
Federation  of  Students,  of  which  the 
Cosmopolitan  Club  is  a  branch. 

Dr.  John  Mez,  of  Freiburg,  Ger- 
many, president  of  the  International 
Students'  Federation,  who  is  making 
a  tour  of  the  American  Universities  in 
an  effort  to  create  interest  in  the  Peace 
Movement,  opened  a  week's  campaign 
at  the  University  on  Monday,  Febru- 
ary 8.  Dr.  Mez  came  to  Ann  Arbor 
from  Syracuse  University,  where  his 
lectures  resulted  in  the  formation  of 
an  International  Polity  Club,  with  a 
membership  of  over  one  hundred. 
The  following  talks  were  given  by  Dr. 
Mez  in  Newberry  Hall:  "The  Psy- 
chology of  War  and  Peace,"  "Eco- 
nomics of  Modern  Internationalism," 
"The  Place  of  Force  in  Modern  Civili- 
zation," "The  Next  Practical  Step— 
The  Conditions  of  Peace,"  following  a 
general  introductory  address  on  the 
peace  movement,  and  the  problems  in- 
volved.

290  THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS  [March 

THE  VALUE  OF  THE  NEW  CONTAGIOUS  HOSPITAL  IN  HEALTH 
SERVICE  WORK 

Contagious  diseases  are  unusually  threatening  in  a  university  com- 
munity. The  reasons  for  this  increased  danger  are  apparent.  Three  or 
four  times  each  year,  thousands  of  susceptible  young  persons  gather  from 
all  parts  of  the  country  and  from  many  foreign  lands  and  they  bring  to  the 
university  community  diseases,  epidemic  in  their  homes.  The  scholastic, 
athletic  and  social  activities  are  so  conducted  that  close  association  of  the 
well  and  sick  is  unavoidable.  The  local  avenues  along  which  contagious 
diseases  spread  are  numerous  and  intricate,  making  the  problem  of  tracing 
infections  very  diflScult. 

Without  a  modern  contagious  hospital,  any  attempt  to  check  com- 
municable disease  in  a  university  is  more  or  less  of  a  failure.  Isolation  of 
students  in  their  rooms  fails,  because  students  are  social  beings  and  youth  is 
without  fear.  The  sick  room  becomes  a  reception  room  and  disease  spreads. 
Unless  quarantined  and  observed  by  health  officers,  students  will  resume 
their  studies  as  soon  as  they  feel  well,  regardless  of  the  danger  of  exposing 
others.  Many  of  the  serious  sequelae  of  contagious  diseases  can  be  traced 
directly  to  indiscretions  early  in  convalescence. 

When  the  authorities  of  the  City  of  Ann  Arbor  and  the  Regents  of  the 
University  built  and  equipped  a  modem  contagious  hospital,  they  accomp- 
lished the  greatest  preventive  measure  against  disease  that  has  ever  been 
attempted  in  this  community.  Incidentally,  they  made  the  work  and  the 
responsibility  of  the  University  Health  Service  much  lighter. 

Each  winter,  during  the  last  three  years,  a  severe  form  of  sore  throat 
has  appeared  among  the  students,  resulting  fatally  in  several  instances.  In 
1910  an  epidemic,  similar  in  nature,  was  reported  in  England.  The  next 
year  Boston  suffered  from  this  disease,  and  in  1912  Chicago  and  Baltimore 
were  visited  by  the  same  malady.  In  the  England  and  the  Boston  epidemics, 
the  source  of  the  disease  was  traced  to  milk  obtained  from  cows  with  diseased 
udders.  It  has  never  been  possible  to  demonstrate  that  the  Ann  Arbor  milk 
or  water  supplies  contained  the  infective  agent. 

Observation  made  by  the  Health  Service  physicians,  during  the  winter 
and  spring  months  of  1914,  supported  the  belief  that  the  disease  was  brought 
in  by  students,  and  spread  by  contact.  At  the  height  of  the  epidemic,  a 
survey  of  most  of  the  organized  house  clubs  was  made.  The  findings  were 
surprising  if  not  convincing.  The  report  from  twenty-nine  fraternities 
showed  91  mild  and  13  severe  cases  of  throat  infection.  In  ten  sororities, 
18  mild  and  3  severe  infections  occurred.  In  seven  approved  rooming 
houses,  12  mild  cases  were  found  and  in  all  the  clubs,  13  mild  and  4  severe 
cases  occurred.  It  will  be  observed  that  154,  or  about  three- fourths  of  the 
cases  treated,  came  from  the  organized  house  clubs.  This  means  that  the 
intimate  association  found  in  these  organizations  makes  contact  cases  pos- 
sible. Fortunately,  these  organizations  have  taken  steps  to  correct  conditions 
and  to  improve  the  sanitation  in  their  homes  by  appointing  health  representa- 
tives who  co-operate  with  the  Health  Service.

1915]  EXECUTIVE  COMMITTEE  MEETING  291 

So  far  this  year,  about  twenty  cases  of  streptococcus  throat  infection 
have  been  observed.  Prompt  isolation  of  those  endangering  others  has 
resulted  in  nearly  complete  disappearance  of  this  serious  disease.  Many 
examples  of  the  value  of  the  new  contagious  hospital  in  the  Health  Service 
work  could  be  given  but  only  one  will  be  mentioned.  Soon  after  the 
Christmas  holidays  a  young  man  developed  smallpox  and  directly  exposed 
over  two  hundred  students.  By  prompt  vaccination  of  those  exposed  and 
isolation  of  the  student  and  his  room-mate,  other  cases  were  prevented. 

The  following  table  shows  the  number  of  students  treated  for  com- 
municable diseases  in  the  new  contagious  hospital :

THE  MEETING  OF  THE  EXECUTIVE  COMMITTEE  OF  THE  ADVIS- 
ORY COUNCIL 

The  Executive  Committee  of  the  Alumni  Advisory  Council  met  in 
Alumni  Memorial  Hall,  February  20,  191 5.  Hon.  Lawrence  Maxwell, 
'74,  A.M.  (hon.)  '93,  LL.D.  '04;  Dean  James  R.  Angell,  '90,  A.M.  '91,  of 
the  University  of  Chicago ;  James  M.  Crosby,  '91^ ;  Walter  S.  Russel,  '75> 
M.Eng.  (hon.)  '10;  and  Dr.  G.  Carl  Huber,  'Sjm,  were  present.  Two 
members  of  the  Council,  Duane  E.  Fox,  '81,  of  Washington,  and  Earl  D. 
Babst,  '93,  '94I,  of  New  York  City,  were  absent.  Judge  Victor  H.  Lane,  '74^^ 
'ySl,  President  of  the  General  Alumni  Association,  presided.  Dean  Henry 
M.  Bates,  '90,  of  the  Law  School,  was  also  present  for  a  part  of  the  session, 
as  representative  of  the  Michigan  Union.  The  meeting  opened  at  eleven 
o'clock  in  the  morning  with  a  general  discussion  of  certain  of  the  problems 
offered  for  the  consideration  of  the  Council. 

The  suggestion  of  the  University  of  Michigan  Club  of  New  York  for 
the  organization  of  a  "One  Per  Centers  Club,"  which  was  outlined  in  the 
•January  number  of  The  Michigan  Ai^umnus,  and  which  was  referred  to 
the  Advisory  Council  by  the  Board  of  Governors  of  the  New  York  Club, 
was  laid  before  the  Committee  by  the  President  of  the  Association.  Because 
of  the  inability  of  a  representative  of  the  New  York  Club  to  be  present,  and 
upon  motion  of  Mr.  Russel,  seconded  by  Mr.  Maxwell,  further  consideration

292  THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS  [March 

of  the  matter  was  postponed  until  such  time  as  a  representative  of  the  New 
York  Club  could  be  present. 

Dean  Bates,  as  Chairman  of  the  Campaign  Committee  of  the  Michigan 
Union,  reported  upon  the  plans  for  the  coming  campaign  which,  if  financial 
conditions  permit,  will  be  inaugurated  in  the  Fall.  He  emphasized  the 
necessity  for  a  large  building  with  a  sufficient  endowment.  The  General 
Secretary  of  the  Alumni  Association,  as  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Directors 
of  the  Union,  described  the  plans  for  the  new  building  as  recently  revised 
by  the  architects.  He  reported  that  a  commission  composed  of  two,  or  three, 
of  the  leading  architects  in  the  country  would  be  asked  to  pass  upon  the 
plans  before  they  were  formally  accepted  and  approved. 

Judge  Lane  then  stated  to  the  Council  that  the  Students'  Christian 
Association  had  received  a  donation  of  $60,000  towards  the  erection  of  a 
new  building,  on  the  condition  that  it  secured  the  subscription  of  a  like 
amount  from  other  sources  by  October  i,  1915;  that  the  Students'  Christian 
Association  had  a  reasonable  prospect  of  securing  all  or  the  greater  part  of 
such  additional  subscription  without  soliciting  the  alumni,  but  desired  the 
privilege  of  soliciting  alumni  if  it  proved  necessary,  under  conditions  which 
would  not  interfere  with  the  plans  of  the  Michigan  Union.  As  the  result 
of  an  informal  discussion  after  hearing  from  Dean  Bates  on  behalf  of  the 
Michigan  Union,  the  Council  were  of  the  opinion  that  the  solicitation  of 
regular  subscribers  of  the  Students'  Christian  Association  would  not 
materially  interfere  with,  but  on  the  contrary,  might  promote  the  interests 
of  the  Union,  it  being  understood  that  the  circular  should  be  approved  by 
Mr.  Lane,  representing  the  Students'  Christian  Association,  and  Dean  Bates, 
representing  the  Michigan  Union. 

As  the  result  of  a  discussion  of  ways  and  means  for  increasing  the 
usefulness  of  the  Advisory  Council  and  its  Executive  Committee,  it  was 
moved  by  Mr.  Crosby  that  the  President  appoint  a  committee  of  three  to 
consider  the  general  question  of  living  conditions  among  students  in  the 
University,  with  the  view  of  making  a  report  to  the  Advisory  Council  in 
June.  This  was  duly  seconded  and  carried.  It  was  also  moved  that  the 
Executive  Committee  recommend  to  the  Alumni  Association  the  advisability 
of  increasing  the  membership  of  the  Executive  Committee  to  nine  instead  of 
seven  members,  as  at  present. 

PLANS  FOR  COMMENCEMENT 

Next  June  will  witness  the  seventy-first  annual  Commencement  of  the 
University,  on  Thursday,  the  twenty-fourth.  The  program  for  the  week, 
while  not  definitely  determined  upon,  will  probably  be  as  follows :

LECTURES  ON  THE  PRIMmVE  TEXT  OF  THE  NEW  TESTAMENT 

Probably  no  task  ever  undertaken  by  the  University  has  received  more 
widespread  recognition  than  the  publication  of  the  Freer  Manuscripts  of 
the  Gospels  in  the  Michigan  Humanistic  Series,  made  possible  through  the 
generosity  of  Mr.  Charles  L.  Freer,  of  Detroit,  the  owner  of  the  Manu- 
scripts. Practically  perfect  facsimile  reproductions  of  the  various  Manu- 
scripts have  been  sent  by  the  University  to  all  the  leading  universities 
everywhere  and  many  requests  for  copies  from  all  over  the  world  are  con- 
tinually being  received  by  the  Library  of  the  University.  They  are  only 
sent,  however,  to  institutions  of  approved  standing  which  can  show  that 
they  have  proper  accommodations  for  keeping  the  books.  One  copy,  un- 
doubtedly destroyed  in  the  burning  of  the  University  of  Louvain,  will 
probably  be  replaced  when  the  proper  time  arrives. 

These  Manuscripts  formed  the  subject  of  two  striking  lectures  given 
by  the  Reverend  E.  G.  Buchanan,  editor  of  The  Oxford  Old  Latin  Biblical 
Texts,  who  was  brought  to  the  University  on  the  Non-Resident  Lecturer 
Fund  on  February  8  and  9.  Dr.  Buchanan  took  as  his  subjects  "The 
Uniqueness  of  the  Freer  Gospels,"  and  "Which  is  the  Primitive  Text  of  the 
Gospels?"  In  his  first  lecture  Dr.  Buchanan  took  occasion  to  make  a  severe 
and  well-founded  criticism  of  the  Westcott  and  Hort  text  of  the  New 
Testament  which  forms  the  basis  of  the  Revised  Version. 

The  King  James  Version  was  translated  from  a  Greek  text  represented 
by  several  thousand  Greek  manuscripts  and  accepted  by  the  Greek  Catholic 
church  for  over  a  thousand  years,  while  the  Revised  Version  in  its  most 
important  differences  has  only  two  Greek  manuscripts  on  its  side,  together 
with  irregular  support  from  the  Latin  Vulgate,  translated  by  Saint  Jerome

in  382,  A.D.  Neither  of  these  translations  can,  however,  rightly  claim  to  be 
based  on  the  primitive  Greek  text  of  the  Scriptures.  When  the  eariiest 
translations,  those  made  in  the  second  century,  are  compared,  remarkable 
agreements  are  found  between  the  Old  Latin  and  the  Old  Syriac.  Further, 
this  text  is  regularly  supported  by  the  oldest  Church  writers,  as  Justin 
Martyr,  Irenaeus,  and  Clement  of  Alexandria,  though  its  chief  support  in 
Greek  has  hitherto  been  the  sixth  century  Greco-Latin  manuscript,  Codex 
Bezae.  To  this  must  be  joined,  especially  in  Mark,  the  fourth  century 
Greek  manuscript  recently  acquired  by  Mr.  Charles  L.  Freer  and  further 
search  is  continually  finding  more  support  in  other  early  translations  and  in 
Greek  manuscripts  from  more  remote  regions.  Mr.  Buchanan's  contribu- 
tions to  this  study  are  mainly  from  the  Old  Latin  Manuscripts,  which  pre- 
serve the  New  Testament  text  used  in  Ireland  and  the  north  of  England 
before  Jerome's  Vulgate  supplanted  it.  The  important  variations  are 
usually  concealed  under  erasures  and  rewritings  which  attempt  to  make  the 
manuscripts  conform  to  the  Vulgate,  showing  that  the  Catholic  Church  had 
for  centuries  striven  to  blot  out  the  older  text.  The  primitive  character  of 
the  recovered  readings  is  often  most  convincing;  thus  in  Hebrews  I,  i,  an 

Irish  manuscript  gives  the  reading  "God spake  in  times  past  to  our 

fathers"  which  is  supported  only  by  a  third  century  Greek  papyrus;  the 
Westcott  and  Hort  text  reads  ''your  fathers"  and  the  majority  of  later 
manuscripts,  "the  fathers";  the  adoption  of  the  new  reading  will  remove 
one  of  the  strong  arguments  against  the  Pauline  authorship  of  the  Epistle. 
Even  more  surprising  is  a  change  found  in  the  Lord's  Prayer,  so  that  we 
may  translate  "Give  us  today  as  bread  the  word  of  God,  which  is  from 
Heaven."  This  variation  finds  support  only  in  the  writings  of  Tertullian, 
about  200  A.  D.  These  new  readings  may  not  always  reproduce  the  prim- 
itive text  but  they  are  certainly  very  early  and  deserving  of  most  careful 
study. 

THE  MARTHA  COOK  BUILDING 

The  new  women's  dormitory  on  South  University  Avenue  has  reached 
nearly  the  fourth  story  in  its  construction.  Over  the  main  entrance  the  great 
stone  arch  has  the  inscription  "The  Martha  Cook  Building."  It  now  tran- 
spires that  the  building  is  being  erected  by  the  Cook  family,  of  Hillsdale, 
Michigan,  in  memory  of  their  mother,  Martha  Cook.  Six  members  of  the 
family  have  been  students  of  the  University  of  Michigan,  and  they  state 
that  they  owe  a  debt  of  gratitude,  which  cannot  be  compensated  in  money, 
but  may  be  shown  by  this  beautiful  structure.  Mrs.  Louise  Cook,  the  wife 
of  Hon.  Chauncey  F.  Cook,  the  Hillsdale  banker,  has  been  appointed  by  the 
Board  of  Regents  as  one  of  the  three  Governors  of  the  building,  the  remain- 
ing two  being  Miss  Grace  G.  Millard,  '97,  of  Detroit,  Michigan,  and  Mrs. 
Frederick  B.  Stevens,  of  Detroit,  Michigan. 


In  view  of  the  fact  that  this  building  is  so  soon  to  be  available  for  the 
purpose  for  which  it  is  designed,  a  more  detailed  description  of  the  accom- 
modations it  will  offer  to  one  hundred  and  fifty  fortunate  women  of  the

University  will  be  of  interest.  The  building,  as  will  be  seen  from  the 
accompanying  drawing,  is  an  exceedingly  effective  adaptation  of  the  English 
Collegiate  Gothic  style.  It  is  built  of  brick  and  stone,  and  is  of  the  most 
modern  fireproof  construction.  The  main  surfaces  of  the  building,  which 
are  of  brick,  display  a  simple  pattern  in  the  laying  of  the  brick,  indicated  in 
some  places  in  the  drawing,  while  the  Gothic  motive  is  expressed  everywhere 
in  the  treatment  of  the  stonework.  The  architects  are  the  firm  of  York  & 
Sawyer,  of  New  York  City.  The  building  is  being  erected  by  the  Fuller 
Construction  Company,  of  New  York. 

The  building  stands  on  the  corner  of  South  University  and  Ingalls 
Streets,  diagonally  across  from  the  house  of  the  President  Emeritus  on  the 
Campus,  and  occupies  a  frontage  of  88  feet  on  South  University,  and  213 
feet  on  Ingalls  Street. 

That  the  building  is  designed  to  be  a  true  home  for  the  girls  is  shown 
by  provisions  made  for  the  social  side  of  their  life.  The  main  feature  of  the 
first  floor  is  a  hall  and  a  dining  room,  33  by  53  feet,  each  opening 
on  a  terrace  through  a  series  of  French  doors,  which  can  be  left  open  in 
warm  weather.  A  particularly  attractive  view  is  offered  from  this  terrace 
into  the  adjacent  garden  of  the  Condon  home.  The  general  character  of 
the  architecture  will  be  preserved  throughout  the  interior  of  the  building.  A 
dining-room  and  kitchen  equipment  sufficient  to  serve  all  living  in  the  build- 
ing will  be  included  as  well  as  accommodations  for  fourteen  servants,  and  a 
sewing  room  and  laundry.  The  building  will  be  in  general  charge  of  the 
committee  named  above,  but  a  social  head  and  a  housekeeper  will  have 
direct  supervision. 

The  rooms  for  the  girls  will  all  be  on  the  second,  third  and  fourth  floors. 
For  the  most  part  the  rooms  will  be  single;  but  usually  in  series  connected 
by  a  double  hall.  In  addition  to  a  washbowl  in  each  room,  there  will  be 
ample  bathing  facilities,  as  is  shown  by  the  fact  that  eighteen  tubs  and  ten 
shower  baths  are  to  be  installed.  Each  floor  will  also  have  a  general  recep- 
tion room,  with  a  kitchenette  in  connection,  designed  to  serve  as  a  place 
for  spreads  and  social  gatherings  of  the  girls  on  each  floor.  The  building 
is  to  be  heated  and  lighted  by  the  University.

298  THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS  [March 

THE  CELEBRATION  OF  FOUNDERS  DAY 
IN  THE  MEDICAL  SCHOOL 

The  sixty-fourth  anniversary  of  the  Medical  School  was  celebrated  at 
the  Founders  Day  Exercises  held  in  Sarah  Caswell  Angell  Hall  on  Washing- 
ton's birthday.  The  crowd  which  gathered  to  listen  to  the  speaker  of  the 
day,  Dr.  William  J.  Mayo,  '83m,  packed  the  Hall  to  overflowing.  Even  the 
stairways,  aisles  and  doorways  were  crowded.  Dr.  Mayo,  who  discussed 
'*The  Septic  Factor  of  the  Three  Great  Plagues,"  was  introduced  by  Dean 
Victor  C.  Vaughan,  of  the  Medical  School,  who  took  occasion  to  emphasize 
the  fact  that  the  Founders  Day  celebration  was  dedicated  to  all  those  who 
had  contributed  to  the  science  of  medicine. 

Dr.  Mayo's  address  was  too  long  and  technical  to  be  given  in  full  in 
The  Alumnus.    Following  is  an  abstract  of  his  address : 

The  three  plagues,  syphilis,  tuberculosis  and  cancer,  are  the  most  widespread 
affectinjf  the  *human  race.  In  each  of  these  sepsis,  that  is  to  say,  secondary  infection  by 
one  or  more  of  the  multitude  of  micro-organisms  everywhere  present  but  ordinarily 
liarmless,  plays  a  most  important  part  In  the  first  it  is  so  important  a  factor  that, 
unless  it  exists,  we  may  not  recognize  the  process  as  syphilis.  In  tuberculosis  it  is 
almost  an  axiom  that  people  do  not  die  from  tuberculosis,  but  from  the  associated 
sepsis.  In  cancer  sepsis  renders  many  cases  inoperable;  it  is  the  most  important  factor 
in  the  production  of  the  painful  and  offensive  results  of  advanced  disease  and  the 
usual  cause  of  death  following  radical  operations. 

"Unto  the  second  and  third  generation" — how  fitly  this  old  quotation  describes 
syphilis,  and  in  this  respect  it  is  quite  unlike  tuberculosis  and  cancer,  neither  of  which 
is  transmissable  to  the  unborn  child.  The  discovery  of  the  spirochaeta  pallida,  the 
cause  of  the  disease,  and  the  newer  methods  of  staining  it  have  placed  in  our  hands  a 
great  weapon  of  defense  against  this  plague.  Aided  by  the  Wasserman  reaction  and 
modem  methods  of  treatment,  we  are  for  the  first  time  in  a  position  to  combat  the 
disease  eflfectively. 

It  is  believed  by  many  specialists  that  in  this  generation  it  is  becoming  milder  as 
compared  with  the  disease  in  former  generations.  Two  reasons  have  been  advanced  for 
this:  one,  that  the  people  are  gradually  developing  an  immunity  by  virtue  of  hereditary 
and  acquired  protective  agencies  based  on  the  general  theory  of  the  survival  of  the 
fittest,  and  second,  that  it  is  much  better  treated  now  than  it  used  to  be.  But  how  can 
we  account  for  the  high  percentage  of  people  with  terminal  changes  in  the  central 
nervous  system — locomotor  ataxia  and  the  general  paralysis  of  the  insane?  Certainly 
there  is  no  diminution  of  these  manifestations,  making  all  due  allowance  for  better 
diagnosis.    On  the  contrary,  they  appear  to  be  on  the  increase. 

Ttie  hardness  in  the  base  at  tfie  seat  of  infection  (the  earliest  indication  of  4be 
presence  of  the  disease)  and  the  accentuation  of  secondary  lesions  are  not  due  to  the 
responsible  organism,  but  to  complicating  sepsis.  The  people  of  all  civilized  countries 
are  far  cleaner  now  than  they  used  to  be  and  through  improved  hygienic  knowledge 
take  better  care  of  small  sores  and  abrasions  than  was  formerly  the  custom.  The 
seat  of  infection,  therefore,  is  apt  to  be  treated  with  strict  cleanliness  and  often  by 
antiseptic  substances,  so  that  it  may  not  assume  that  typical  hardness  in  the  base  which 
is  due  to  sepsis.  The  failure  to  develop  this  characteristic  because  of  the  cleanliness 
and  care  of  the  individual  may  cause  a  failure  in  diagnosis.  For  this  same  reason  the 
secondary  symptoms  may  be  exceedingly  mild  and  thus  the  patient  may  acquire  the 
disease  and  pass  through  the  primary  and  secondary  stages  without  detection.  The 
tendency  of  the  infection  is  to  travel  along  the  nerve  sheatJhs  into  the  central  nervous 
system  and  the  first  symptoms  known  to  the  patient  may  be  premonitory  of  locomotor 
ataxia  and  the  general  paralysis  of  the  insane,  terminal  conditions  for  whkh  the 
resources  of  our  art  have  comparatively  little  remedy.

I9I5]  FOUNDERS  DAY  CELEBRATION  299 

It  is  a  great  misfortune  fhat  syphilis  is  considered  only  as  a  disease  carrying  a 
stigma  with  it.  As  a  matter  of  fact,  a  high  percentage  of  the  patients  that  we  see 
acquire  the  disease  through  accident,  by  infection  of  lips,  fingers,  and  abrasions  at 
different  parts  of  the  body,  and  have  frequently  thrown  the  diagnostician  oflf  his  guard. 

We  see  a  few  instances  every  year  of  surgeons  who  have  infected  their  fingers 
during  operations  on  syphilitic  patients.  The  seat  of  initial  infection  often  does  not 
develop  the  typical  characteristics  because  of  the  care  the  surgeon  naturally  gives  to 
minor  abrasions  and  as  his  personal  hygiene  is  good,  he  may  slip  through  the  secondary 
stage  with  scarcely  a  suspicion.  Then  come  lesions  of  various  organs  or  lesions  of 
the  central  nervous  system. 

The  importance  of  early  diagnosis  cannot  be  overestimated.  Recognition  of  the 
seat  of  infection  should  depend  on  finding  the  spirochaete.  Every  suspicious  infection 
should  therefore  be  subjected  to  careful  bacteriologic  investigation,  otherwise  the 
patient  may  suffer  irreparable  damage. 

I  would  emphasize  Corner's  final  remark  that  "if  the  patient  belongs  to  the  better 
educated  classes  he  may  pay  a  penalty  for  this  cleanliness  in  the  disease  not  being 
diagnosed  and  the  virtue  which  he  undoubtedly  has  is  not  rewarded  properly." 


It  is  almost  axiomatic  that  those  afflicted  with  tuberculosis  do  not  die  from  tfhe 
disease  but  from  the  associated  sepsis.  The  chief  exception  is  in  tuberculous  meningitis 
where  the  products  of  bacterial  action  are  confined  in  a  bony  box  and  produce  pressure. 
The  influence  of  sepsis  on  tuberculosis  is  most  pernicious.  In  preantiseptic  times 
the  opening  of  tuberculous  abscesses — "cold"  abscesses — ^was  looked  upon  with  great 
disfavor.  It  was  well  understood  that  incision  into  such  an  abscess  was  promptly  fol- 
lowed by  a  characteristic  type  of  fever  and  general  physical  loss  to  the  patient  in 
every  way.  It  is  true  today  that  no  matter  'how  careful  the  after-treatment  may  be,  the 
incision  and  drainage  of  such  an  abscess  is  practically  always  followed  by  septic  com- 
plications. It  was  for  this  reason  that  cold  abscesses  were  merely  punctured  by  a 
slender  hollow  needle,  through  which  the  contents  were  removed,  the  small  puncture 
wound  then  being  immediately  sealed.     This  is  good  treatment  at  the  present  time. 

In  1899  I  published  an  article  on  "Localized  Tuberculosis  of  the  Intes- 
tine." At  that  time  it  was  not  believed  that  primary  localized  tuberculosis  limited  to 
any  portion  of  the  intestinal  tract  ever  occurred,  but  that  it  was  always  the  result  of 
pulmonary  tuberculosis,  usually  from  swallowed  sputum.  I  called  attention  at  that 
time  to  the  fact  that  in  my  opinion  cow's  milk  was  responsible  for  this  infection.  I 
instanced  that  in  the  country  districts  puhnonary  tuberculosis  was  comparatively  rare 
but  that  localized  tuberculosis  of  bones,  joints,  intestines  and  glands  was  exceedingly 
common,  that  it  was  customary  to  use  raw  milk  as  a  regular  article  of  diet  and  that  a 
considerable  percentage  of  milk  cows  were  infected  with  tuberculosis.  It  was  in  this 
way  that  swine  became  so  extensively  tuberculous.  A  farmer  feeding  milk  to  his  hogs, 
if  his  dairy  herd  was  free  from  tuberculosis,  had  no  tuberculosis  among  his  hogs,  but 
when  the  milk  began  to  be  carried  to  the  separators  and  creameries  and  the  farmer  took 
back  not  the  milk  from  his  own  herd,  but  a  mixture  of  milk  from  many  herds  tuber- 
culosis in  hogs  was  almost  the  rule.  This  I  believe  is  now  prevented  by  the  law.  But 
of  course  that  is  only  for  hogs  which  are  of  value  commercially.  For  our  children  no 
such  protection  exists.  Tuberculous  milk  from  tuberculous  herds  is  peddled  around  in 
nearly  every  city  in  this  country  and  little  children  who  are  infected  with  bovine 
tuberculosis  are  to  be  met  with  on  every  hand. 

I  think  it  can  be  said  at  the  present  time  that  localized  tuberculosis  of  the  bones, 
joints,  intestines  and  glands  is  usually  due  to  the  bovine  type  of  bacilli  obtained  from 
infected  milk.  Milk  is  infected  not  only  with  tubercle  bacilli  but  with  septic  bacteria  as 
well,  and  these  latter  micro-organisms  set  up  lesions  in  the  gastro-intestinai  canal 
marked  in  younger  life  by  gastro-intestinai  irritation.  Through  these  lesions,  the 
tubercle  bacillus  gains  entrance  to  the  circulation.  One  of  two  things  must  be  done. 
Milk  must  be  pasteurized  and  no  milk  allowed  to  be  sold  that  has  not  been  pasteurized 
or  else  it  must  be  certified  from  herds  that  have  been  carefully  tested  for  tuberculosis 
and  in  which  the  milk  is  gathered  with  extreme  cleanliness.  The  pasteurization  of 
milk  is  and  has  been   employed  in  many  cities.     In   Philadelphia,  all  milk  will  be

pasteurized.  Heidelberg  which  was  notorious  for  its  tuberculous  children  has  been 
almost  freed  from  the  white  plague  by  the  pasteurization  of  milk.  It  simply  means 
heating  the  nuUc  up  to  i6o  degrees  under  proper  conditions,  which  not  only  kills  the 
tjubercle  bacilli  but  the  bacteria  of  sepsis  as  well.  It  is  probably  today  the  most 
practical  way  of  handling  the  milk  question. 

Much  of  the  weakness  and  suffering  of  cancer  is  due  to  associated  sepsis  and 
mudh  of  the  pain  comes  from  septic  infection.  In  the  later  stages  and  especially  where 
the  cancer  has  spread  to  other  parts  of  the  body,  nerve  pressure  may  be  the  cause  of 
the  very  severe  pain.  But  the  rule  holds  good  that  in  the  primary  growth  the  action 
of  septic  bacteria  on  the  tumor  itself  and  the  infection  of  the  surrounding  tissue 
already  sadly  crippled  by  the  malignant  change  are  the  causes  of  the  greatest  distress 
and  hasten  the  death  of  the  patient  In  internal  situations,  such  as  the  liver,  where  the 
growth  is  not  exposed  to  infection,  the  tumor  may  often  reach  larger  proportions  and 
the  patient  die  without  severe  suffering.  Pierce  Gould  found  in  the  Middlesex  Hos- 
pital, London,  that  careful  attention  to  cleanliness  and  antiseptic  measures  gave  so 
mudh  relief  that  morphia  was  seldom  required;  even  further,  that  patients  could  not 
only  be  relieved  of  their  pain,  but  that  the  symptoms  were  so  greatly  ameliorated  that 
they  gained  in  strength  and  flesh  merely  by  scrupulous  attention  to  cleanliness. 

Heretofore  we  have  not  given  sufficient  attention  to  the  septic  complications  of 
cancer,  especially  in  relation  to  preparing  the  field  for  operation.  The  extraordinary 
change  which  may  be  made  in  a  growth  by  the  removal  of  secondary  infection  (s^sis) 
must  lead  us  to  the  conclusion  that  not  only  is  sepsis  a  cause  of  serious  symptoms  to 
the  patient,  but  that  it  is  a  most  grave  condition  considered  from  the  operative  stand- 
pointy  and  that  the  success  or  failure  of  an  operation  may  depend  as  much  upon  the 
septic  condition  as  upon  the  cancer  itself. 

Following  Dr.  Mayo's  address,  a  portrait  of  Dr.  Donald  Maclean,  A.M., 
M.D.,  Professor  of  Surgery  in  the  University  from  1873  to  1879,  presented 
by  the  family  of  Dr.  Maclean,  was  unveiled  by  his  granddaughter,  Miss 
Constance  Campbell.  In  accepting  the  portrait  on  behalf  of  the  Medical 
School,  Dr.  C.  B.  de  Nancrede  said: 

President  Angell,  Members  of  the  Board  of  Regents,  of  the  Faculty  of  the  School  of 
•Medicine  and  Surgery,  Fellow  Alumni,  Students  of  Medicine,  Ladies  and  Gentle- 
men: 

When  I  came  here  this  evening  I  expected  to  rise  to  acc^t  this  gift  on  the  part 
of  the  School  of  Medicine  and  Surgery  with  mingled  feelings  of  r^ret  and  pleasure ; 
of  regret,  because  someone  better  fitted  than  I  was,  by  personal  relations  with  Dr. 
Maclean,  was  not  to  be  the  speaker,  one  who  was  better  acquainted  with  the  qualities 
of  mind  and  character  which  endeared  Dr.  Maclean  to  his  patients,  rendered  him  an 
acceptable  teacher  to  his  students,  and  made  him  so  popular  with  the  members  of  the 
profession  of  which  he  was  so  distinguished  an  ornament 

While  my  regret  as  to  my  unfitness  for  the  task  assigned  me  has  not  diminished 
since  I  came  tonight,  the  orator  of  the  evening  when  he  referred  to  Dr.  Maclean  has 
in  some  measure  supplied  my  deficiencies.  I  said  that  I  should  also  rise  with  feelings 
of  pleasure  to  receive  on  the  part  of  the  Medical  School  this  valuable  addition  to  our 
gallery  of  Faculty  members.  As  Dr.  Maclean's  immediate  successor,  no  one  so  well 
as  I  can  possibly  appreciate  the  difficulties  he  had  to  contend  with,  how  well  he  suc- 
ceeded in  overcoming  these,  and  how  his  victories  smoothed  the  pathway  of  all  who 
followed  him  in  the  Chair  of  Surgery  for  all  time.  The  majorrfy,  if  not  all  of  my 
audience,  probably  including  even  Dr.  Vaughan,  cannot  be  aware  of  the  circumstances 
under  which  Dr.  Maclean  joined  the  Medical  School,  so  that  a  preliminary  statement 
of  some  facts  should  precede  my  few  words  of  eulogium. 

The  Medical  D^artment  was  started  sometime  in  1849-1850,  the  second  of  the 
three  departments  which  were  originally  contemplated  in  the  act  establishing  the 
University  of  Michigan.  The  catalogue  for  1850  contained  the  name  of  Dr.  Moses 
Gunn  as  Professor  of  Anatomy  and  Surgery.  Few,  if  any,  medical  schools  can  boast 
of  a  more  illustrious  founder  of  their  surgical  department,  eloquent,  well-informed,  a 
brilliant  operator,  an  original  investigator,  and  an  inspiring  teacher,  one  endowed  by

nature  with  an  imposing  figure,  a  fine  voice,  and  intense  enthusiasm.  Soon  dropping 
anatomy  and  giving  himself  solely  to  surgery,  Dr.  Gunn  from  1854  on  devoted  all  his 
energies  and  great  abilities  to  teaching  surgery,  until  he  left  this  school  for  the  Profes- 
sorship of  Surgery  in  the  Rush  Medical  College  of  Chicago  in  1867. 

After  this  orderly  and  successful  institution  of  adequate  surgical  teaching,  suc- 
ceeded an  interregnum  of  lectures  on  surgery  or  temporary  professors  of  this  branch, 
none  of  whom  remained  on  duty  for  more  than  two  sessions,  most  of  them  for  only 
one.  Thus,  Dr.  J.  Warren  Greene  served  here  as  Professor  in  1867-1868,  Dr.  Lyster, 
1868-1869,  as  Lecturer,  Dr.  A.  B.  Crosby,  1869-1870,  in  the  same  position,  and  as  Pro- 
fessor in  1870-1871,  being  succeeded  as  Lecturer  in  1871-1872  by  Dr.  Theodore  McGraw. 
All  of  these  were  most  competent  surgeons,  able  operators,  good  teachers,  and  some  of 
them  enjoyed  the  reputation  of  being  brilliant  speakers ;  but  conceive  of  the  confusion 
of  methods  of  instruction,  inaugurated  and  carried  on  to  a  certain  point  during  one 
session  only  to  be  abandoned  in  favor  of  a  new  departure,  taking  up  the  subject  at  a 
new  point,  and  in  a  new  manner,  under  a  fresh  teacher  during  the  next  session.  For 
various  reasons  the  Chair  of  Surgery  did  not  present  sufficient  inducements  to  secure  a 
permanent  incumbent,  until  Dr.  Angell  was  requested  by  the  Medical  Faculty  to  ascer- 
tain whether  Dr.  Donald  Maclean,  a  former  house  officer  and  impil  of  the  famous  Mr. 
Syne  at  the  old  Edinburgh  Infirmary,  then  teaching  in  the  Medical  School  at  Kingston, 
Ontario,  could  not  be  induced  to  accept  tiie  appointment. 

Dr.  Angeirs  report  was  so  favorable  that  Dr.  Maclean  was  appointed  Lecturer 
on  Surgery  for  the  session  1872-1873,  and  Professor  of  Surgery  the  following  year. 
The  very  modest  amount  of  operative  work  in  surgery  had  been  carried  on  in  the 
anatomical  theatre  of  the  old  Medical  Building,  the  after  treatment  being  conducted  in 
various  houses  in  the  town.  With  this  discouraging  environment  Dr.  Maclean  threw 
himself  into  his  new  work  with  characteristic  enthusiasm,  pitting  himself  against  the 
long  success  and  high  reputation  of  Dr.  Gunn  and  his  immediate  predecessors.  Within 
a  few  years  Dr.  Maclean  succeeded  in  having  erected  a  hospital  which  has  been  suc- 
ceeded by  the  so-called  new  hospital  off  the  Campus. 

Dr.  Maclean  rapidly  acquired  the  confidence  of  the  profession  and  the  com- 
munity, was  a  most  inspiring  clinical  teacher  and  clever  operator,  building  anew  the 
reputation  for  surgery  that  the  school  formerly  enjoyed,  so  that  his  successor  has  had 
only  to  strive  to  maintain  the  high  standard  of  efficiency  set  by  him,  by  endeavoring 
to  keep  up  with  all  advances  in  surgery,  as  Dr.  Maclean  had  always  striven  to  do. 
I  might  add  word  to  word  and  sentence  to  sentence  but  what  more  can  be  said  in 
praise  of  Dr.  Maclean's  work,  than,  that  he  took  a  disorganized  department  and  left 
it  adequately  organized,  so  that  all  future  modifications  becoming  necessary  with  the 
changes  in  methods  of  instruction  that  are  inevitable  in  any  educational  plan,  could  be 
easily  adapted.  Schools  not  only  require  founders  but  equally  demand  supporters  who 
serve  quite  as  important  a  function  as  the  first,  being  indeed  secondary  founders,  and 
of  these  Dr.  Maclean  was  a  brilliant  example.  Therefore,  deputed  by  the  Faculty  to 
perform  this  honorable  duty,  I  now  accept  this  portrait  of  Dr.  Donald  Maclean,  thank- 
ing the  donors  for  their  valuable  gift. 

The  program  came  to  an  end  with  the  singing  of  "The  Yellpw  and  the 
Blue"  by  the  audience,  and  was  followed  by  a  reception  in  the  parlors  of 
Barbour  Gymnasium.

302  THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS  [March 

ENLARGEMENT  OF  THE  UNIVERSITY 
LIBRARY  NEEDED 

The  General  Library  of  the  University  has  been  officially  declared 
inadequate  and  unsafe,  and  the  Board  of  Regents  has  asked  the  State 
Legislature  to  make  special  provision  for  its  enlargement  and  protection. 
There  is  urgent  need  for  more  shelf  room,  which  can  only  be  supplied  by 
a  new  stack,  for  larger  and  better  administration  rooms,  which  can  only 
be  provided  by  a  new  front  to  the  building.  The  inflammability  of  the  front 
part  of  the  present  structure  is  a  matter  of  concern  to  the  University 
authorities. 

The  present  building  was  erected  in  1883  from  designs  by  Van  Brunt 
and  Howe,  Boston  architects,  and  was  planned  as  a  combination  of  library 
and  art  gallery.  It  was  a  creditable  building  for  a  generation  ago.  It  has 
in  it  some  features  that  were  novelties  for  that  time, — such  as  its  seminar 
rooms,  which  were  the  first  to  be  put  in  any  American  university  library 
building.  But  with  the  growth  of  the  book  collections  and  the  demands  for 
administration  rooms,  the  seminar  rooms  have  had  to  be  turned  over  to  the 
Library  staff  and  the  graduate  students  moved  into  the  quarters  formerly 
occupied  by  the  sculpture  gallery. 

The  collection  of  books  has  been  doubled  in  size  during  the  last  dozen 
years.  This  rapid  growth  has  led  to  certain  embarrassments,  notably  the 
filKng  up  of  all  available  shelf  room.  The  book  storage  capacity  of  the 
original  building  was  90,000  volumes.  In  its  present  form  it  houses  about 
300,000  of  the  350,000  volumes  owned  by  the  University.  During  the  last 
twelve  years  the  collections  have  been  growing  at  the  rate  of  15,000  volumes 
per  year.  The  books  average  between  seven  and  eight  to  a  linear  foot.  This 
means  that  the  annual  accessions  fill  up  about  two-fifths  of  a  mile  of  shelv- 
ing per  year.  During  the  eleven  years  of  my  connection  with  the  Librar>', 
over  four  miles  of  shelving  have  been  filled  up  with  new  books,  periodicals 
and  newspapers.  The  unbound  as  well  as  the  bound  newspapers  have  lat- 
terly been  crowded  out  of  the  main  Library  and  are  stored  in  the  loft  of 
Tappan  Hall  and  the  basement  of  the  Alumni  Memorial  building.  Neither 
of  these  places  is  suitable  for  this  purpose.  The  safety  of  such  an  inflam- 
mable structure  as  Tappan  Hall  is  jeopardized  by  the  presence  of  a  lot  of 
unbound  papers  in  the  attic;  the  files  in  the  Alumni  Memorial  building  are 
not  very  accessible  and  take  up  room  which  was  never  planned  for  this 
purpose.  This  is  but  a  hint  of  what  will  have  to  be  done  in  much  greater 
measure  in  the  near  future  if  there  is  no  relief  from  the  congestion  in  the 
main  Library  building.  We  shall  have  to  box  up  and  store  in  basements 
large  sections  of  books  which  will  apparently  be  called  for  more  than  ever 
as  soon  as  inaccessible, — an  experience  through  which  Harvard  has  recently 
gone. 

During  the  last  fifteen  or  twenty  years  various  plans  have  been  drawn 
for  the  extension  of  the  University  Library.  Some  of  them  have  contem- 
plated extensions  at  right  angles  to  the  present  stack ;  others  have  provided 
stacks  parallel  to  the  present  one.     In  1898  the  original  book-stack  was

THE  WISCONSIN  STATE  HISTORICAL   AND  UNIVERSITY  LIBRARY 
Two   Suggestions    for    Michigan's    Proposed    New    Library 

doubled  in  capacity  by  extending  it  to  the  south.  In  1910-11  the  capacity 
of  the  enlarged  stack  was  increased  sixty  per  cent  through  the  addition  of 
two  floors  in  the  old  art  gallery,  which  was  vacated  when  the  new  Alumni 
Memorial  building  was  erected. 

Now  that  the  book-stacks  and  reading  rooms  are  filled  to  overflowing, 
some  decision  must  be  reached  as  to  what  is  to  be  done  to  house  the  acces- 
sions of  the  future  and  to  take  care  of  the  growing  number  of  readers.  With 
the  new  ideas  of  fire  prevention  a  study  of  the  front  part  of  our  present 
Library  shows  how  unsafe  it  is.  The  main  reading  room,  with  the  period- 
ical room,  the  offices,  the  upper  reading  room,  made  from  the  remodeled  art 
gallery,  and  the  seminar  rooms  are  all  of  what  is  known  as  mill  construction. 
The  beams  in  the  ceiling  of  the  main  reading  room,  all  the  stairways,  and 
the  entire  roof  are  of  wood.  The  upper  reading  room  has  no  fire-proof 
qualities  whatsoever;  its  walls  are  of  wood  covered  with  plaster  and  they 
are  under  the  sloping  roof,  which  is  of  wood  covered  with  slate.  The  only 
brick  work  in  the  upper  reading  room  is  in  the  wall  separating  it  from  the 
book-stack  and  the  side  walls  of  the  towers.  If  a  fire  should  start  in  the 
old  '^whispering  gallery"  and  gain  fair  headway,  nothing  could  save  the 
gutting  of  both  the  upper  and  lower  reading  rooms.  This  would  probably 
mean  the  destruction  of  some  25,000  volumes  which,  at  a  low  valuation, 
would  be  inventoried  at  $3  a  volume.  Many  of  these  books  would  be  diffi- 
cult to  replace,  and  some  of  them  we  could  never  hope  to  secure  again. 

It  is  a  futile  pastime  to  place  monetary  values  on  things  not  to  be  had 
at  any  price.  Many  of  the  books  and  sets  in  our  Library  are  simply  not  in 
the  market.  Practically  all  other  copies  extant  are  in  libraries  which,  like 
our  own,  are  not  likely  to  sell.  The  card  catalogs  are  part  of  the  equipment 
that  we  do  not  ordinarily  think  of  in  terms  of  dollars  and  cents.    In  the  main

reading  room  we  have  the  union  depository  catalog,  made  up  of  the  printed 
cards  from  the  Library  of  Congress,  the  Royal  Library  of  Berlin,  the  John 
Crerar  Library  of  Chicago,  the  Harvard  University  Library,  and  the  Uni- 
versity of  Chicago,  containing  in  the  aggregate  900,000  cards*  The  public 
catalog  in  front  of  the  delivery  desk  contains  about  500,000  cards.  The 
official  catalog,  for  the  use  of  the  staff,  contains  about  200,000  cards.  The 
catalog  of  the  Concilium  Bibliographicum  in  the  upper  reading  room  con- 
tains about  400,000  cards.  This  makes  a  grand  total  of  2,000,000  cards. 
Only  the  shelf-list  of  about  140,000  cards  is  in  fire-proof  cabinets.  Taking 
into  consideration  the  work  that  has  been  put  on  these  cards,  the  typing 
and  classification,  a  value  of  2  cents  a  card  is  placed  on  them.  Thus  we 
have  a  total  valuation  of  over  $40,000.  The  cabinets  alone  cost  $4,000,  but 
the  contents  are  vastly  more  valuable  than  the  shell  which  holds  them.  The 
same  is  true  of  the  whole  Library.  The  contents  of  the  front  part  of  our 
building  would  easily  be  worth  $120,000,  while  the  front  part  of  the  structure 
did  not  cost  more  than  $40,000  to  put  up  in  1883.  It  would  easily  cost  three- 
quarters  of  a  million  to  replace  the  book  collections  in  our  main  building. 
The  building  itself,  in  its  present  form,  has  not  cost  more  than  $150,000. 
We  can  safely  say  that  the  collections  are  worth  four  or  five  times  the  cost 
of  the  building  that  houses  them. 

What  can  be  done  to  improve  conditions  ?  The  plan  is  to  build  in  place 
of  the  present  nondescript  front  a  fire-proof  rectangular  structure  somewhat 
along  the  lines  of  the  library  buildings  erected  within  recent  years  at  the 
University  of  Wisconsin,  the  Ohio  State  University  and  Harvard.  This 
type  of  building  would  provide  for  the  growth  of  two  generations  or  more, 
would  take  care  of  the  administrative  problems  and  the  demand  for  increased 
room  for  readers,  and  incidentally  give  better  architectural  balance  to  the

south  side  of  the  Campus.  From  its  position  in  relation  to  the  Chemistry 
and  Science  buildings  it  would  help  materially  in  the  making  of  a  quad- 
rangle, giving  more  unity  to  our  sadly  heterogeneous  campus  architecture. 
On  the  first  floor  there  would  be  enlarged  administration  rooms,  enab- 
ling the  work  of  ordering,  accessioning,  classification,  cataloging,  the  collat- 
ing of  periodicals,  preparing  of  books  for  the  binder  and  the  shelves,  to  be 
done  in  a  logical  and  economical  manner.  Today  much  of  this  work  must 
be  done  in  a  wasteful  way  because  of  lack  of  room.  In  the  main  catalog 
room,  for  example,  the  work  of  classification,  the  ordering  of  printed  cards, 
tlie  assigning  of  subject  headings,  the  typing  of  call  numbers,  must  be  done 
in  very  crowded  quarters.  Here  is  found  the  official  catalog,  an  author  list 
of  all  books  in  the  Library,  the  consultation  of  which  by  others  than  members 
of  the  staff  is  frequently  done  at  the  expense  of  the  quiet  of  the  entire  room. 
The  room  is  at  present  a  passage-way  for  everybody  from  the  messenger  to 
the  professor  and  there  is  little  of  "that  holy  calm  which  alone  is  conducive 
to  good  cataloging."  The  new  plan  contemplates  a  rearrangement  as  well 
as  an  enlargement  of  the  space  devoted  to  this  w^ork,  looking  to  greater 
efficiency  and  economy  of  effort.  The  first  floor  of  the  proposed  new  struc- 
ture would  also  contain  a  study  room  in  which  the  undergraduates  could 
work  out  their  lessons,  do  their  collateral  reading  and  profitably  employ  the 
stray  hours  that  they  have  between  lectures  and  recitations.  This  would 
relieve  the  reading  room  of  much  congestion  and  disturbance  due  to  the 
large  groups  of  underclassmen  who  now  flock  into  it  at  the  beginning  of 
the  hour  and  crowd  the  reference  desk  in  their  desire  to  get  the  books  of 
required  reading  in  history  and  rhetoric.  This  is  not  legitimately  library 
work  and  should  be  taken  out  of  the  main  reading  room,  which  should  be 
reserved  for  more  advanced  readers.  In  the  new  plan  the  main  reading 
room  is  on  the  upper  floor,  away  from  the  noise  and  confusion  of  large 
classes  rushing  in  and  out  every  hour.  Here  is  also  a  periodical  room,  and 
a  public  catalog  room  in  which  would  be  found  the  rapidly  growing  card 
catalogs,  taken  out  of  the  main  reading  room  in  order  to  further  insure  the 
quiet  of  that  place.  There  would  be  a  whole  series  of  seminar  rooms  and 
consultation  rooms  where  professors  could  meet  their  advanced  students 
and  go  over  books  relating  to  the  work  in  hand.  In  a  stack  running  parallel 
to  the  present  one,  but  with  a  basement  and  seven  floors,  there  would  be 
special  provision  for  the  graduate  students  who  could  gather  on  convenient 
tables  the  books  specially  needed  for  a  period. 

In  conjunction  with  the  strength  of  our  faculty,  it  is  the  richness  of  the 
Library  in  source  material  that  brings  to  us  the  serious  and  advanced  students. 
The  Graduate  School  more  than  any  other  part  of  the  University  depends 
on  its  library  equipment.  Our  Library  has  reached  a  position  of  importance 
among  the  scholarly  libraries  of  the  country.  It  is  the  largest  belonging  to 
any  state  university.  It  cannot  be  that  the  State  of  Michigan  will  allow  the 
life  of  her  University  to  be  any  longer  imperilled  through  inadequate 
housing.

ATHLETICS 


THE  VARSITY  RELAY  RACES 

Pennsylvania  and  Princeton  both  proved 
victors  over  the  Varsity  in  early-season  re- 
lay races,  the  Quakers  winning  over  the 
Michigan  "medley"  team  at  Buffalo  on 
February  5th  and  the  Tigers  coming  out 
on  top  in  a  2-mile  race  on  February  20th. 
Michigan  lost  the  Buffalo  event  by  nearly 
75  yards,  but  made  a  better  showing  against 
Princeton,  losing  after  the  long  run  by  less 
than  30  yards. 

The  race  at  Buffalo  was  run  as  a  special 
event  in  the  annual  athletic  carnival  of  the 
First  Infantry  Athletic  Association,  with 
Pennsylvania  and  Michigan  as  the  only  con- 
tenders. The  relay  was  a  decidedly  "mixed" 
affair,  with  the  first  man  running  220  yards, 
the  second  440,  the  third  a  half  mile  and  the 
fourth  a  full  mile.  After  Coach  Farrell 
had  picked  his  team,  Murphy,  star  half- 
miler,  was  forced  to  withdraw,  and  a  sub- 
stitute went  into  the  race  at  Buffalo. 

Captain  "Hal"  Smith  of  the  Varsity  ran 
the  first  lap,  breaking  the  track  record  and 
beating  his  man.  Burby,  a  sophomore,  was 
the  second  runner  and  dropped  back  at  the 
end  of  his  quarter  mile.  Carroll,  another 
sophomore  and  originally  picked  for  the 
mile  distance,  lost  still  more  ground,  while 
Lynch,  the  alternate,  had  no  chance  against 
the  Pennsylvania  speeder,  Ted  Meredith,  in 
the  last  lap. 

Keene  Fitzpatrick,  former  Michigan  train- 
er, brought  four  fleet  half  milers  to  Ann 
Arbor  two  weeks  later  for  the  relay  race 
which  concluded  the  meet  program  for  the 
annual  indoor  Fresh-Soph  clash.  Carroll, 
Fox,  Donnelly  and  Ufer  were  the  Varsity 
racers,  running  in  the  order  named.  Car- 
roll was  the  only  Wolverine  who  beat  his 
man,  winning  the  first  lap  with  a  scant  one- 
yard  margin.  Fox,  though  running  the  fast- 
est lap  for  Michigan,  fell  three  yards  be- 
hind his  competitor  at  the  end  of  the  first 
mile  of  the  race.  Donnelly  lost  four  more 
yards,  while  Ufer,  racing  against  a  man 
who  negotiated  the  880  yards  in  less  than 
I  minute  59  seconds,  fell  still  further  be- 
hind. 

In  view  of  the  fact  that  the  Varsity  run- 
ners were  every  man  inexperienced,  while 
the  team  which  Keene  Fitzpatrick  brought 
to  the  race  were  all  veterans,  the  showing 
was  considered  satisfactory.  Moore,  Atha, 
Captain  MacKenzie  and  Hayes  were  the 
Tiger  runners,  and  three  of  them  were  ath- 


letes who  had  raced  against  Michigan  in 
the  Pennsylvania  Relay  Games  last  spring. 
Not  a  man  of  that  Michigan  team  ran  in 
the  February  20th  race. 

THE  FRESHMAN.SOPHOMORE  MEET 

Seasoned  sophomores  proved  more  than 
the  equals  of  the  Michigan  freshmen  when 
the  two  under  classes  met  on  February  20th 
in  their  annual  battle  for  indoor  track  hon- 
ors, the  1917  men  coming  out  on  top  by  a 
one-sided  score,  49  to  23.  Only  one  year- 
ling athlete,  Al  Robinson,  the  Kcewatin 
Academy  sprinter,  was  able  to  take  a  first 
place  in  the  meet,  the  440-yard  dash  going 
to  the  1918  man  in  53  4-5  seconds. 

The  feature  of  the  meet  was  the  per- 
formance of  Wilson  in  the  pole  vault,  when 
he  smashed  the  Michigan  record  in  this 
event  and  made  a  new  mark  pf  12  feet 
Some  claim  was  made  a  few  days  later  that 
this  record  would  not  stand  as  official  inas- 
much as  it  was  not  measured  immediately 
after  made,  but  Referee  Farrell,  who  had 
charge  of  the  meet,  ruled  that  the  mark 
would  be  considered  as  authentic.  It  has 
already  been  posted  on  the  record  charts, 
and  will  stand  until  broken  again.  And  it 
will  probably  be  Wilson  who  will  make  an- 
other new  record,  for  he  seems  certain  to 
go  much  higher  than  12  feet  as  soon  as  he 
gets  outdoors. 

Wilson's  record  takes  precedence  over 
that  of  the  former  Michigan  star,  Dvorak. 
Dvorak  was  responsible  for  breaking  the 
pole  vault  record  three  times,  his  last  mark 
being  11  feet  9  inches,  made  on  May  30, 
1903,  at  a  Western  Conference  meeting. 
This  performance  was  staged  in  the  open 
air,  and  for  this  reason  the  work  of  Wil- 
son is  considered  the  more  remarkable.  The 
best  which  Dvorak  ever  did  indoors  was  10 
feet  6  inches,  which  in  itself  broke  the  old 
Wolverine  high  mark.  Wilson  is  but  a 
sophomore  in  the  University,  and  in  his 
first  year  of  competition  has  shown  won- 
derful form.  His  mark  of  12  feet  was 
made  on  his  first  attempt,  and  although  he 
failed  to  repeat  the  next  week  against  No- 
tre Dame,  he  was  able  to  take  first  place 
easily.  His  severest  test  will  come  at  the 
indoor  meet  with  Syracuse,  when  he  will 
be  pitted  against  Curtis,  considered  by 
many  the  best  vaulter  in  Eastern  Intercol- 
legiate ranks.

But  few  freshmen  were  discovered,  be- 
sides Robinson,  who  promise  much  for  the 
strength  of  the  1916  Varsity  track  team. 
Smith  took  second  to  Cross  in  the  shot  put 
and  Kretzschmar  ran  next  to  O'Brien  in 
the  short  dash.  Galloway  and  Cherry  show- 
ed up  well  in  the  mile  run  and  Clark  man- 
aged to  get  into  the  point-winning  column 
in  the  pole  vault.  Robinson  fulfilled  Coach 
Farrell's  predictions  as  to  his  ability  to  run 
the  quarter  mile,  by  beating  out  the  sopho- 
more entries.  But  he  was  forced  to  take 
a  third  in  the  35-yard  dash,  where  his  ina- 
bility to  get  away  to  a  flying  start  worked 
against  him. 

It  is  probable  that  the  All-Fresh  indoor 
schedule  will  be  comparatively  light  this 
year,  Graduate  Director  P.  G.  Bartelme 
having  found  difficulty  in  making  up  a  good 
list  of  meets.  No  announcement  of  the 
schedule  has  as  yet  been  made,  but  it  is  be- 
lieved that  the  Detroit  Central  Y.  M.  C.  A. 
will  furnish  competition  for  at  least  one  in- 
door meet.  The  outdoor  schedule  may  be 
somewhat  more  strenuous. 

The  summaries  of  the  meet  follow: 

3 5 -yard  dash — O'Brien  (S)  first,  Kretzschmar 
(F)  second,  Al.  Robinson  (F)  third;  time,  41-5 
seconds. 

Shot-put— Cross  (S)  first.  Smith  (F)  second. 
Leach  (S)  third. 

88o-yard  mn— Burby  (S)  first,  M.  G.  Robinson 
(S)  second,  Shadford  (F)  third;  time,  2:06  x-5. 

Pole  vault— Wilson  (S)  first,  Oark  (F)  and 
Kessler  (S)  tied  for  second;  height,  xa  feet  (new 
Michigan  record). 

440-yard  dash— Robinson  (F)  first,  Huntington 
(S)  second,  Fontana  (S)  third;  time,  53  4-5  sec- 
onds. 

Mile  run — Grauman  (S)  first,  Galloway  (F) 
second,  Cherrv  (F)  third;  time,  4:42  2-5. 

40-yard  high  hurdles — Corbin  (S)  first,  Wilson 
(S)  second,  Fisher  (F)  third:  time,  54-5  seconds. 

High  jump— Waterbury  (S),  Corbin  (S),  and 
Simmons  (F)  tied  for  first  place  at  s  feet  6 
inches. 

Result — Sophomores,  47  J4  ;  Freshmen,  2454. 


BASEBALL  PROSPECTS 

On  February  i8th  Coach  Carl  Lundgren 
took  charge  of  the  baseball  squad,  and  has 
ever  since  been  hard  at  work  rounding  the 
60  odd  candidates  into  shape.  He  found 
the  battery  men  already  on  the  wav  toward 
good  condition,  for  over  20  pitchers  and 
catchers  had  been  out  for  a  week  before 
their  coach's  arrival,  working  under  the  di- 
rection of  Captain  McQueen. 

Lundgren  is  being  assisted  by  Jack  En- 
zenroth,  former  Varsity  captain  and  now 
a  member  of  the  Kansas  City  Federal 
League  team,  who  has  been  working  with 
the  pitchers.  "Chuck"  Webber,  catcher  in 
1913,  has  also  been  out,  and  will  remain 
with  the  squad  whether  or  not  the  athletic 
eligibility  committee  decides  he  may  play 
this  year.  Webber  has  confessed  that  he 
has  played  professional  ball  since  his  con- 
nection with  the  Varsity  team,  but  hopes 


that  the  officials  will  take  such  a  stand  on 
the  "summer  basebair  question  as  will  en- 
able him  to  play. 

Semi-official  statements  by  members  of 
the  committee,  however,  indicate  that  Web- 
ber will  not  be  declared  eligible.  Michi- 
gan, it  is  stated,  is  not  now  in  a  position  to 
come  out  in  favor  of  "summer  baseball"  in 
view  of  the  attitude  which  is  being  taken 
by  the  universities  which  are  the  Varsity's 
opponents  on  the  diamond. 

As  soon  as  he  had  had  an  opportunity 
to  look  over  his  candidates  thoroughly, 
Coach  Lundgren  expressed  himself  as  more 
than  pleased  with  the  prospects  for  a  good 
team  this  year.  His  principal  task  from 
now  until  April  9th,  will  be  the  weeding 
out  of  a  squad  to  take  south  on  the  annual 
spring  traming  trip.  Out  of  the  60  or 
more  aspirants  who  are  working  out  daily 
in  the  cage  at  Waterman  gym,  Lundgren 
must  pick  about  15  men  to  go  on  the  ten 
days'  tour  of  the  eastern  Atlantic  coast, 
where  the  Varsity's  activities  will  be  staged 
this  year.  As  has  been  the  case  in  former 
years,  the  chances  for  any  extended  out- 
door practice  are  slim,  and  Lundgren  must 
rely  almost  entirely  on  the  training  which 
he  can  give  his  men  inside  the  gymnasium. 

Unless  Webber  is,  by  some  unexpected 
chance,  declared  eligible,  there  seems  to  be 
every  certainty  that  the  catching  staff  must 
be  recruited  entirely  from  green  material. 
With  men  like  Sisler  and  Ferguson  on  the 
pitching  squad,  the  selection  of  a  man 
capable  of  handling  them  will  be  a 
difficult  task.  There  is  every  likelihood 
that  Sisler  will  do  very  little,  if  any,  mound 
work  during  the  tour,  and  so  Lundgren  will 
have  to  round  into  shape  a  left-handed 
pitcher.  The  contest  for  this  place  seems 
now  to  lie  between  Soddy  and  McNamara, 
the  former  a  veteran  and  the  latter  a  valua- 
ble recruit  from  the  1914  All-Fresh  team. 
The  infield  and  outfield  squads  will  prob- 
ably be  made  up  almost  completely  of  vet- 
erans, with  one  or  two  likely  recruits  on 
the  squad  as  substitutes. 

The  activities  of  the  Michigan  baseball 
team  this  spring  will  be  largely  in  the  east- 
ern part  of  the  South,  a  change  from  the 
regular  itinerary  having  been  fpund  neces- 
sary. Although  no  official  announcement 
has  as  yet  been  made  of  the  schedule,  it  is 
understood,  from  press  dispatches  from  the 
east,  that  Marshall  College,  Washington  and 
Lee,  and  one  or  two  others  of  the  schools 
in  Virginia  will  be  the  competitors  of  the 
Wolverines.  Kentucky  and  Notre  Dame 
are  also  thought  to  be  on  the  schedule  in 
their  usual  places.  The  Washington  and 
Lee  date  has  already  been  announced  from 
there  as  April  14th  and  15th. 

Dispatches  from  Lansing  are  to  the  ef- 
fect that  the  Michigan-M.  A.  C.  game  on

the  M.  A.  C.  grounds  will  be  played  on 
May  15th,  while  the  battles  in  Ann  Arbor 
will  be  on  Mav  28th  and  29th.  Official  an- 
nouncement of  the  schedule  is  expected  im- 
mediately following  the  next  meeting  of 
the  Board  in  Control  of  Athletics. 


MICHIGANS  RIFLE  MATCHES 

Michigan's  Rifle  team,  in  the  matter  of 
games  won  and  lost,  now  stands  tied  with 
the  Yak  University  squad,  with  every  indi- 
cation that  the  deciding  match  of  the  Class 
C  intercollegiate  tourney  will  be  staged  be- 
tween these  two  fives  on  March  25th. 

Up  until  the  Michigan-Lehigh  match  on 
March  4th,  the  Ann  Arbor  team  showed  a 
steady  improvement,  starting  with  the  859 
made  against  Washington,  and  going  up  to 
923,  shot  against  the  strong  Nebraska  team. 
In  the  Lehigh  match  the  Michigan  marks- 
men fell  down  somewhat,  but  still  kept 
above  the  900  mark. 

Yale,  thus  far,  has  averaged  better  than 
the  Michigan  men,  and  it  will  be  a  close 
tilt  when  the  two  meet  for  the  champion- 
ship. Yale  was  in  Class  B  last  year,  and 
for  this  reason  are  more  experienced  than 
the  Wolverine  shooters.  The  Michigan  men 
have  done  far  better  in  practice  than  they 
have  in  matches  but  the  team  leaders  have 
every  confidence  that  they  will  show  good 
form  when  they  are  put  to  the  crucial  test. 

The  following  are  the  scores  made  in 
several  of  the  matches  to  date :

TRACK  MEET— MICHIGAN  61;  NOTRE 
DAME  16 

The  Varsity  surprised  even  its  most  ar- 
dent supporters  on  February  27th,  when  the 
track  athletes  completely  swamped  Notre 
Dame  in  the  opening  dual  meet  of  the 
Michigan  1915  season,  winning  by  the  top- 


heavy  score  of  61  to  16.  Only  two  firsts 
fell  to  the  lot  of  Notre  Dame,  while  Far- 
rell's  men  took  everything  in  four  of  the 
events. 

Notre  Dame  took  the  honors  in  the  35- 
yard  dash  and  the  shot-put,  scoring  a  total 
of  12  points  in  these  two  events.  Their 
victory  in  the  dash  was  a  complete  surprise 
to  Coach  Farrell,  who  had  been  relying  on 
this  event  to  insure  the  victory  to  his  team. 
But  Captain  Smith  was  forced  to  run  sec- 
ond to  Hardy,  while  O'Brien  failed  to  get 
into  the  point-winning  column.  In  the  shot 
put,  Cross  managed  to  make  second  place, 
and  from  then  on  everything  belonged  to 
Michigan. 

The  Varsity  middle  distance  men,  and 
the  second-string  athletes  in  the  vault  and 
jump,  completely  upset  the  "dope"  by  per- 
forming far  above  what  had  been  expected 
of  them.  Ufer  ran  a  wonderful  race  in  the 
half  mile,  winning  in  the  remarkable  time 
of  2  minutes  and  3-5  seconds.  Fox  and 
Donnelly  were  close  behind  him,  and  raced 
across  the  finish  line  ahead  of  the  nearest 
Notre  Dame  man.  Burby,  John  and  Hunt- 
ington took  every  point-winning  place  in 
the  44-yard  dash.  In  both  of  these  races, 
as  well  as  in  the  mile,  the  Wolverine  en- 
trants set  a  terrific  pace,  and  wore  down 
the  visitors. 

Good  sportsmanship  on  the  part  of  Coach 
Rockne  of  Notre  Dame  gave  the  Varsity 
the  victory  in  the  1000-yard  relay  race. 
Michigan's  runners,  despite  a  loss  in  the 
first  lap,  finished  way  out  in  front,  but  it 
was  discovered  that  O'Brien  had  failed  to 
"touch  off"  Captain  Smith.  The  little  soph- 
omore ran  a  wonderful  race,  winning  by  a 
comfortable  margin  despite  the  fact  that  he 
fell  sprawling  on  his  face  on  his  first  round 
of  the  250  yards.  In  view  of  the  wide  mar- 
gin by  which  the  Michigan  men  won  and 
the  one-sidedness  of  the  score.  Coach 
Rockne  refused  to  take  advantage  of  the 
technicality,  and  Referee  Maris,  who  is 
both  a  Michigan  and  a  Notre  Dame  man, 
awarded  the  race  to  the  home  team. 

The  rooters  greeted  the  victory  of  their 
track  men  with  wild  enthusiasm.  The  ao- 
pcarance  of  the  Notre  Dame  squad  marked 
the  first  time  they  have  come  to  Michigan 
in  fifteen  years,  and  the  good  feeling  which 
marked  the  meet  is  considered  an  omen  of 
continued  relations  with  the  wiestem  uni- 
versity. The  competition  with  this  big 
school  gives  to  Michigan  an  opportunity  to 
match  its  track  team  with  that  of  the 
squads  of  the  Western  Conference  schools, 
for  Notre  Dame  meets  many  of  the  strong- 
est in  the  western  association.  The  out- 
door meet,  scheduled  for  May  8th  at  South 
Bend,  will  be  a  further  test  of  east-west 
strength.

THE  TRACK  SCHEDULE 

Michigan's  Varsity  track  schedule,  an- 
nounced early  in  February,  this  year,  con- 
tains ten  meets  for  the  Wolverine  athletes, 
a  larger  number  than  has  been  carded  for 
several  years.  Already  the  indoor  season 
is  practically  over,  but  the  outdoor  sched- 
ule offers  competition  with  some  of  the 
strongest  teams  in  the  country.

INTRAMURAL  ATHLETICS 

Intramural  athletics  have  enjoyed  a  won- 
derfully successful  season  this  winter,  with 
interclass  athletes  striving  for  honors  in 
hockey,  basketball,  wrestling  and  handball. 

Already  the  Science  seven,  captained  by 
William  D.  Cochran,  leader  of  the  191 5  foot- 
ball team,  has  won  the  hockey  title,  with 
the  freshmen  engineers  close  behind  them. 
The  hockey  tourney  ^ames  were  played 
this  year  on  a  huge  mdoor  rink,  and  a 
complete  schedule  was  run  off  without  hin- 
drance from  poor  weather. 

The  wrestling  matches  have  brought  out 
some  strong  competition,  with  the  cham- 
pionships in  the  various  classes  not  yet  de- 
cided as  this  is  written.  The  basketball 
games  have  drawn  out  big  crowds  of  root- 
ers, and  not  a  game  has  yet  been  forfeited 
by  the  non-appearance  of  a  team  on  the 
floor.  Already  the  senior  lits,  champions 
of  last  year,  have  succumbed  twice  to  the 
prowess  of  other  fives,  and  a  new  cham- 
pion is  certain. 


FENCING 

Michigan  fell  a  sorry  victim  to  Cornell 
in  the  lone  dual  fencing  match  staged  this 
year  by  the  Wolverine  foil  men.  The 
match  was  staged  in  Ithaca  on  the  evening 
of  February  27th,  and  the  Michigan  men 
were  able  to  take  but  a  single  combat. 

Captain  Mattsson  alone  was  able  to  win 
from  his  adversary.  The  Cornell  fencers 
were  the  runners-up  in  the  Eastern  Inter- 
coU^iate  fencing  tourney  last  year,  and 
were  champions  the  season  before.  The 
Michigan  men  have  been  without  the  ser- 
vices of  a  skilled  coach,  being  forced  to 
rely  on  competition  with  a  faculty  fencing 
team,  the  majority  of  whose  members  play 
under  international  rules,  far  different 
from  intercollegiate  regulations. 


THE  REGENTS'  MEETING 

It  is  aimed  In  this  section  to  give  a  report  of  every  action  taken  by  the  Regents  of  general  interest. 
Routine  financial  business,  appointments  of  assistants,  small  appropriations,  and  luts  of  degrees 
granted,  are  tisually  omitted.

'02,  of  the  Club,  led  the  diwers  into  the  ban- 
quet hall  of  Delmonico's;  and  there  was 
ceaseless  excitement  and  activity  from  then 
until  eleven  o'clock  or  later. 

The  dinner  was  preceded  by  a  reception 
at  seven  o'clock.  The  reception  committee 
under  the  chairmanship  of  our  vice-presi- 
dent, Henry  G.  Prout,  'y^e,  LL.D.  '11,  did 
the  honors,  and  nobly.  Promptly  at  7:30 
the  assemblage  adjourned  to  the  banquet 
hall,  and  after  a  photograph  was  taken,  the 
men  rose,  and  Charles  Sumner  Burch,  '75, 
SuflFragan  Bishop  of  New  York,  pronounc- 
ed the  invocation.  Lights  were  then  low- 
ered and  in  the  glare  of  a  spotlight  a  great 
Michigan  banner  was  run  up  and  broken 
out  at  the  entJ  wall  of  the  room. 

Over  the  speaker's  dais  a  great  MICHI- 
GAN in  mazdas,  blazed  a  welcome,  which 
was  ably  seconded  by  Michigan  banners 
and  pennants.  At  the  west  end  of  the  hall 
the  balcony  had  been  draped  with  banners 
and  at  the  east  end  was  a  picture  screen  on 
which  were  flashed  Michigan  messages  and 
songs. 

At  the  speakers'  table  were  Bishop  Burch, 
President  Hutchins,  Dean  Vaughan,  Dean 
Bates,  James  M.  Swift,  Judge  Robert  F. 
Thompson,  Shirley  W.  Smith,  Secretary  of 
the  University,  Henry  Wollman,  President 
Broomhall  and  Toastmaster  Miner. 

The  sixteen-page  program  contained 
much  of  interest.  It  named  sixteen  alumni 
who  have  been  cabinet  members,  ambassa- 
dors, or  in  similar  service;  our  nine  United 
States  Senators  and  twenty-four  Represen- 
tatives in  the  Sixty-third  Congress;  four- 
teen members  of  the  Federal  Judiciary,  and 
thirty  distinguished  graduates  of  the  Col- 


lege of  Medicine  and  Surgery  or  the  Hom- 
oeopathic Medical  College. 

During  the  dinner  a  telegram  was  receiv- 
ed from  the  Detroit  Alumni,  which  was 
read  to  the  accompaniment  of  much  ap- 
plause, as  was  a  wire  from  Earl  D.  Babst, 
detained  in  Chicago  by  press  of  business. 
Messages  were  also  read  from  Regents 
Leland,  Sawyer,  Clements,  Beal,  Bulkley, 
Hanchett,  Hubbard,  and  Gore,  also  from 
Professor  M.  E.  Cooley,  Fred  L.  Keeler, 
Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction  for 
Michigan,  Senator  Charles  E.  Townsend, 
Justice  William  R.  Day,  Ex-Ambassador 
Thomas  J.  O'Brien  and  former  Solicitor 
General  Lawrence  Maxwell. 

President  Broomhall  introduced  Karl  R. 
Miner,  '97/,  as  the  toastmaster. 

President  Hutchins  was  then  introduced 
and  gave  a  fine  resum^  of  what  is  going  on 
back  in  dear  old  Ann  Arbor.  His  tsatc- 
ment  that  Michigan's  grand  old  man.  Dr. 
Angell,  was  in  splendid  health  was  the  oc- 
casion for  a  great  outburst  of  cheers.  He 
reported  excellent  progress  in  the  construc- 
tion of  the  Residential  Halls  for  Women 
and  the  Natural  Science  Building  and  out- 
lined plans  for  remodeling  and  enlarging 
the  Library  and  installing  a  Model  School 
in  connection  with  the  Department  of  Edu- 
cation. James  M.  Swift,  '95,  former  attor- 
ney-general of  Massachusetts,  brought  a 
message  from  the  New  England  Michigan 
Club,  which  is  a  wide-awake,  live,  growing 
organization.  The  smoker  it  gave  at  the 
time  of  the  Harvard-Michigan  game  is  am- 
ple criterion  of  that 

Mr.  McAndrew  then  said  he  had  a  mes- 
sage to  deliver  from  Dr.  Angell,  in  re- 
sponse to  the  one  sent  at  the  last  dinner, 
by  wireless  and  a  la  Edison.  He  put  the 
record  to  work  and  here  is  the  outcome : 

My  dear  friends :  I  beg  to  thank  you 
for  your  greetings  and  for  the  request 
of  a  word  from  me.  It  recalls  the  fea- 
tures and  pleasant  voices  of  many  of 
you.  I  send  you  heartiest  greetings 
and  best  wishes  in  the  name  of  the 
University  so  dear  to  us  all.  May  you 
long  live  to  sing  "The  Yellow  and  the 
Blue." 

A  reply  was  sent  Dr.  Angell  in  which  the 
following  participated — Mr.  McAndrew,  Al- 
len Broomhall,  Karl  Miner,  Judge  Robert 
F.  Thompson,  James  M.  Swift,  President 
Harry  B.  Hutchins,  Dr.  H.  D.  Corbusier 
and  the  all-Michigan  quartet,  which  led  the 
Club  in  singing  "It's  a  long,  long  way  to 
old  Ann  Arbor."  Then  there  was  a  good 
old  Michigan  cheer.  The  record  was  taken 
back  to  Ann  Arbor  by  President  Hutchins. 

Following  this  Dr.  Victor  H.  Vaughan, 
'78m,  Dean  of  the  Medical  College, 
talked  on  what  Michigan  men  are  doing  in

[March 


the  medical  profession  and  of  the  wonder- 
ful accomplishments  of  preventive  medi- 
cine. He  was  followed  by  Dean  Henry  M. 
Bates,  '90,  of  the  Law  School,  who  told  of 
the  high  attainment  of  Michigan  law  grad- 
uates. Graduates  of  the  Michigan  Law 
School  lead  all  others  on  the  basis  of  abil- 
ity to  run  successfully  the  gauntlet  of  the 
bar  examinations.  He  then  told  of  the 
work  of  the  Michigan  Union. 

Judge  Robert  F.  Thompson  closed  the 
speech-making  with  some  stories  which  car- 
ried the  house  and  wound  up  with  a  crack- 
er jack  address.    It  rang  true. 

The  dinner  committee  consisted  of: 

Charles  A.  Riegelman,  '99,  Chairman;  Harry  C. 
Hutchins,   'oje;    William   McAndrew,   '86:   Harry

Every  man  was  furnished  with  a  small 
yellow  and  blue  pennant  which  bore  his 
name  and  class — ^and  was  worn  on  the  coat 
lapel;  a  medallion  of  the  Michigan  Seal, 
suspended  by  yellow  and  blue  ribbons,  was 
hung  over  every  man's  neck.  Souvenir  pa- 
per caps  in  red,  white  and  blue  were  handed 
out  and  added  much  life  and  color  to  the 
gathering.  The  committee  deserved  gpreat 
praise,  and  got  it. 

Eugene  Worden  led  the  singing  and  he 
and  "Doc"  Corbusier  led  the  cheering.  It 
was  inspiring.  The  whole  gathering  was  a

NEW  YORK  ALUMNAE 


The  University  of  Michigan  Women's 
Club  of  New  York  assembled  for  their 
February  meeting  at  the  beautiful  new 
home  of  the  Women's  University  Club.  The 
chairman  of  the  day,  Mrs.  Wm.  F.  Persons, 
*o6,  introduced  Mrs.  John  M.  Glenn,  pres- 
ident of  the  National  Conference  of  Chari- 
ties, who  spoke  in  a  very  interesting  man- 
ner on  "Organized  Service  with  the  Poor." 
The  Club  was  very  fortunate  in  having  for 
its  second  speaker  Dr.  V.  C.  Vaughan, 
'78m,  of  the  University  of  Michigan,  who 
brought  greetings  from  President  Emeritus 
Angell  and  President  Hutchins,  who  was 
prevented  from  being  present  at  the  meet- 
ing, as  he  was  unexpectedly  recalled  to  Ann 
Arbor.  Dr.  Vaughan  in  his  speech  empha- 
sized two  distinct  openings  of  life  work 
for  educated  women,  district  nursing,  which 
has  done  such  valuable  work  in  lowering 
the  mortality  of  children,  and  inspection 
of  homes,  a  work  which  has  not  yet  been 
developed.     Dr.  Vaughan  maintained  that

the  home,  in  many  cases,  is  the  breeding 
place  of  crime,  and  that  women  are  espec- 
ially fitted  to  see  the  needs  of  the  home, 
and  to  bring  about  better  conditions  there. 
A  social  hour  followed  the  speeches,  during 
which  tea  was  served. 

The  chairman  of  the  March  meeting  will 
be  Miss  Annie  S.  Thompson,  '95,  and  Mrs. 
John  Dewey,  '86,  will  speak  on  Italian 
Schools.  Dr.  Lida  B.  Earhart,  '01,  will 
have  charge  of  the  April  meeting,  and  in 
May  will  occur  the  annual  outing,  when 
the  Club  expects  to  visit  a  nearby  college 
centre.

PASADENA  ALUMNAE 

The  University  of  Michigan  Alumnae  As- 
sociation of  Pasadena  met  with  Miss  Fan- 
nie E.  Henion,  '03,  on  Saturday,  February 
20.  Mrs.  Clayton  R.  Taylor,  '92,  read  an 
interesting  resume  of  recent  events  and 
matters  of  interest  at  the  University,  and 
after  an  animated  and  exciting  hour  spent 
in  renewing  our  familiarity  with  men  and 
events  of  Colonial  times,  refreshments 
were  served.  The  luncheon  table  was  ef- 
fectively decorated  with  the  Cherry  Tree 
and  a  replica  of  the  historic  Hatchet.  Tiny 
flags  were  the  appropriate  souvenirs,  the 
National  colors  taking  precedence  over 
those  of  the  University.  Those  present 
were  Mesdames  Bailey,  Butler,  Clark,  Mer- 
sereau,  Taylor,  and  Misses  Brown,  Henion 
and  Cass.  Mrs.  Henion  assisted  Miss  Hen- 
ion in  receiving  and  entertaining  the 
guests.  Ai,icE  C.  Brown,  Secretary. 


PITTSBURGH 

The  Pittsburgh  Alumni  Association  of 
the  University  of  Michigan  held  its  an- 
nual meeting  at  the  University  Club,  Sat- 
urday night,  February  20.  About  twenty- 
five  members  were  present,  and  the  fol- 
lowing officers  were  elected : 

Gayle  A.  Dull,  '08,  President. 

Fleming  Nevin,  '02/,  Vice-President. 

G.  W.  Hansen,  '09^,  Secretary  and  Treas- 
urer. 

A  committee  of  younger  men  is  to  be  ap- 
pointed by  the  President,  whose  object  will 
be  to  call  upon  the  older  alumni  and  to  per- 
suade them  to  take  a  more  active  interest 
in  Association  work.  Another  committee  is 
being  appointed  to  arrange  for  the  annual 
banquet  which  will  be  held  in  about  two 
months.  Plans  to  carry  through  the  Mich- 
igan Union  Campaign  for  their  Clubhouse 
among  the  Pittsburgh  Alumni  was  discuss- 
ed at  length,  and  it  is  expected  that  the 
Pittsburgh  Alumni  will  materially  support 
such  a  campaign  when  the  Michigan  Union 


decides  to  renew  their  activities  for  the 
building  fund.  It  was  decided  to  discon- 
tinue the  monthly  luncheons  at  the  Seventh 
Avenue  Hotel,  and  an  attempt  is  to  be 
made  to  consolidate  either  with  the  West- 
em  Alumni  Association,  which  comprises 
all  of  the  large  western  colleges,  or  with 
the  alumni  associations  of  all  of  the  uni- 
versities in  the  Pittsburgh  district  to  hold 
joint  luncheons  weekly  in  one  of  the  prom- 
inent downtown  hotels.  It  is  quite  prob- 
able that  these  joint  luncheons  will  not  be 
held  until  the  new  William  Penn  Hotel  is 
completed. 

After  the  business  before  the  meeting 
was  disposed  of,  Hermann  F.  RuoflF,  '03/, 
presided  at  the  piano,  and  we  all  indulged 
in  the  Michigan  songs  from  the  new  song 
books  distributed  by  the  Union.  An  elab- 
orate lunch  and  smokes  were  later  served. 
Geo.  W.  Hansen,  Secretary.

OBITUARIES 


WILUAM  NATHANIEL  BROWN 

William  Nathaniel  Brown  was  bom  in 
New  York  City  on  June  24,  1849.  His  fam- 
ily removed  to  Saginaw  soon  after  his 
birth,  and  his  early  years  were  spent  in 
that  city.  At  the  age  of  twelve  he  enlisted 
as  a  drummer  boy  in  Company  B.,  loth 
Michigan  Volunteer  Infantry,  and  served 
throughout  the  war,  being  discharged  in 
1865.  In  1867  he  entered  the  University 
of  Michigan  with  the  class  of  1871,  but 
changed  to  the  Law  Department  and  re- 
ceived the  degree  of  LL.B.  in  1870.  After 
his  graduation  he  went  to  Kalamazoo  and 
became  associated  in  the  practice  of  law 
with  Dwight  May,  '49,  who  was  then  At- 
tom«y  General  of  Michigan;  in  1872  he 
removed  to  Mount  Pleasant  and  began  a 
long  and  successful  career  at  the  bar  of 
Isabella  County.  During  his  residence  in 
Mount  Pleasant  he  was  engaged  in  exten- 
sive lumbering  and  banking  business  as  well 
as  in  the  law.  In  1878  he  was  married  to 
Minnie  K.  May,  of  Kalamazoo.  In  1895 
Mr.  Brown  removed  to  Ann  Arbor,  where 
all  of  his  four  children  attended  and  re- 
ceived degrees  from  the  University;  in 
1907  he  returned  to  Mount  Pleasant,  where 
he  continued  to  reside  until  his  death  on 
Febmary  3rd,  1915.  Mr.  Brown  was  per- 
haps best  known  to  the  alumni  of  the  Uni- 
versity through  his  membership  in  the 
Alumni  Memorial  Committee;  he  was  one 
of  the  first  to  suggest  the  erection  of  a 
memorial  building,  and  was  instmmental  in 
securing  many  of  the  large  subscriptions 
which  made  successful  the  campaign  re- 
sulting in  the  erection  of  Alumni  Memorial 
Hall. 


THOMAS  CRAIGHEAD  RAYNOLDS 

During  the  last  few  weeks  the  Class  of 
'68  has  been  thrice  bereaved.  In  the  late 
fall.  Bums,  the  engineer,  was  stricken ;  then 
Stuart,  Judge  of  the   Superior  Court  of 


Grand  Rapids;  and  now,  Tom  Raynolds. 
long  time  editor  of  the  Akron  Beacon. 
Raynolds  was  one  of  the  youngest  and  one 
of  the  most  loyal  members  of  the  class.  He 
served  as  class  secretary  for  many  years, 
and  regularly  rallied  us  to  our  quinquen- 
nial reunions,  where  he  was  always  a  lead- 
ing spirit  till  failing  health  forbade  him 
longer  to  attend.  He  was  disabled  for  a 
number  of  years  before  his  death,  but  re- 
tained his  love  for  the  friends  of  college 
days  to  the  last.  On  February  2  he  finally 
foimd  release  from  his  sufferings  and  en- 
tered into  rest. 

He  was  born  near  Canton,  Ohio,  June  18, 
1848,  and  was  prepared  for  college  in  the 
high  school  there  and  at  Akron.  He  spent 
his  freshman  year  at  the  Western  Reserve 
University,  and  then  transferred  to  Ann 
Arbor,  graduating  with  his  class  in  Jime, 
1868.  After  a  year  with  his  uncle.  United 
States  Engineer  on  the  geodetic  survey  of 
the  Great  Lakes,  he  entered  upon  his  ca- 
reer as  a  joumalist  in  Akron,  Ohio.  Here, 
near  the  scenes  of  his  boyhood  days,  among 
the  people  who  had  known  him  from  child- 
hood, he  continued  to  labor  and  prosper 
till  seized  with  his  long  and  fatal  illness. 
He  died  universally  loved  and  respected. 
As  a  leader  of  public  opinion,  his  voice  had 
always  been  raised  for  the  promotion  of 
good  citizenship  and  honest  government, 
and  he  will  long  be  remembered  as  a  power 
for  good  in  his  community.  He  was  twice 
married.  First,  to  Lillian  Waggoner,  who 
died  in  1883,  leaving  him  a  son,  now  on  the 
staff  of  The  Cleveland  Plain  Dealer;  sec- 
ond, to  Ida  B.  Foote,  who  has  been  his  good 
angel  through  all  the  tr3ring  experiences  of 
his  later  years,  and  who  survives  him.

of  Lima,  Ohio,  where  his  father  removed 
when  he  was  a  young  boy.  Four  years  af- 
ter completing  his  secondary  schooling,  he 
began  the  study  of  law  in  the  office  of  his 
father,  shortly  after,  in  i8j58,  entering  the 
Law  School  of  the  University.  After 
his  graduation  in  1^0  he  began  practice 
with  his  father  in  Lima  under  tne  firm 
name  of  Robb,  Hughes  and  Robb,  where 
he  followed  his  profession  until  the  time 
of  his  death,  being  associated  with  several 
of  the  most  prominent  members  of  the 
Allen  County  bar.  During  the  last  twenty 
years  of  his  life  Judge  Kobb  held  many 
public  offices.  In  1894  he  was  elected  Pro- 
bate Judge,  serving  two  terms,  and  in  1903 
he  became  mayor  of  his  city,  being  elected 
for  ai>other  term  at  the  expiration  of  his 
first  period  of  service.    At  the  last  election 


he  was  chosen  mayor  for  the  third  time. 
Judge  Robb  was  at  one  time  president  of 
the  Lima  Board  of  Trade,  and  for  four 
years  he  acted  as  president  of  the  First 
National  Bank,  serving  as  a  director  at  the. 
time  of  his  death.  He  had  also  been  pres- 
ident of  the  South  Side  Building  and  Loan 
Company,  and  was  connected  with  the  Al- 
len County  Historical  Society.  Judge  Robb 
was  identified  with  the  Masonic  fraternity 
and  with  the  Elks.  He  had  recently  been 
made  honorary  president  for  life  of  the 
Michigan  Alumni  Association  of  Allen 
County,  which  passed  resolutions  on  his 
death.  On  January  21,  1894,  he  was  mar- 
ried to  Mrs.  Mary  C.  Owen,  who,  with  two 
children,  Theodore  D.,  Jr.,  and  Inez*  sur- 
vives him.  His  death  occurred  on  F«blru- 
ary  9,  1915,  after  an  illness  of  eight  days.

EAST  CHRISTIAN  PAINTINGS  IN  THE 
FREER  COLLECTION 

This  new  volume  in  the  Michigan  Hum- 
anistic Series  is  in  every  way  a  fitting  com- 
panion to  those  which  have  gone  before. 
With  its  well-nigh  faultless  typography  and 
architecture,  its  admirable  plates  in  color 
facsimile,  and  other  illustrative  material,  it 
presents  a  most  attractive  outward  appear- 
ance. Within,  it  is  replete  with  learning 
and  interest  both  for  the  student  of  art  and 
for  the  student  of  the  Bible  and  of  sacred 
story. 

The  illustrations  of  three  manuscripts  in 
the  Freer  collection  are  reproduced  and  dis- 
cussed. The  chapter  headings,  with  their 
subdivisions,  give  a  fair  conception  of  the 
contents:  I.  Two  Miniatures  from  a 
Manuscript  of  St.  John  Climacus  and  their 
Relation  to  Klimax  Iconography:  a.  The 
illustrated  manuscripts  of  the  Klimax;  b. 
Portrait  of  St.  John  Climacus;  c.  Minia- 
ture of  the  Heavenly  Ladder.  H.  Eight 
Miniatures  from  a  Manuscript  of  the  Gos- 
pels: a.  The  Manuscript  containing  the 
miniatures;  b.  Portraits  of  Mark  and  John; 
c.  The  Descent  from  the  Cross;  d.  The 
Descent  into  Hell;  e.  The  Doubting  of 
Thomas;  f.  Christ  and  the  Holy  Women; 
g.  Madonna  and  Saints;  h.  John  the  Bap- 
tist and  the  Virgin;  i.  Date  and  value  of 
the  miniatures.  HL  The  Painted  Covers 
of  the  Washington  Manuscript  of  the  Gos- 
pels: a.  Covers  and  Painting;  b.  Por- 
traits of  the  Evangelists ;  c.  Date  and  Style. 

Mr.  Freer's  collection  of  manuscripts, 
especially  the  "Codex  W"  of  Deuteronomy, 


Joshua,  and  the  four  Gospels,  have,  since 
their  publication  by  Dr.  Henry  A.  Sanders, 
attracted  the  eager  attention  and  interest  of 
the  world  of  paleographers.  Old  and  New 
Testament  critics,  and  Bible  students  gen- 
erally. Nothing  comparable  to  them  has 
been  added  to  the  realm  of  paleography, 
philology,  and  Biblical  criticism  since  the 
discovery  of  the  Codex  Sinaiticus  in  1844. 
Besides  these  interests,  the  Freer  Manu- 
scripts furnish  also  exceedingly  interesting 
material  in  the  domain  of  Christian  art; 
and  it  is  their  contributions  to  East  Christ- 
ian painting  that  Dr.  Morey  has  made  the 
subject  of  this  valuable  study. 

The  first  part  deals  with  a  twelfth  cen- 
tury manuscript  of  the  "Heavenly  Ladder," 
in  30  rungs,  a  guide  for  the  earnest  monk 
"in  the  attainment  of  ascetic  and  spiritual 
perfection."  The  author  was  St.  John  Cli- 
macus, hermit  and  abbot  of  Mount  Sinai 
(ca,  525-600  A.  D.).  The  scribe  of  the 
Freer  Climacus  manuscript  is  shown  by  Mr. 
More/s  close  observation  and  shrewd  com- 
binations to  have  been  the  same  Theoctistus 
who  made  the  copy  of  the  Menaeum  of  the 
Bibliotheque  Nationale  (dated  1127)  and 
probably  the  Gospel  lectionary  of  Mount 
Athos  (dated  1133).  Theoctistus,  it  is 
known,  belonged  to  the  Monastery  of  St. 
John  the  Baptist  in  Constantinople.  We 
thus  arrive  at  a  date  and  place  for  the 
Freer  manuscript — ^about  1130  A.  D.,  at 
Constantinople. 

Much  richer  than  the  art  of  the  Climacus 
manuscript  is  the  illustration  of  the  Gos- 
pels.    Dr.   Morey  conjectures — with  prob-

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[March 


able  correctness— that  the  eight  miniatures 
are  but  the  few  survivors  of  from  20  to  40 
that  the  manuscript  originally  contained. 
The  subjects  of  the  compositions  are  given 
in  the  table  of  contents  quoted  above.  All 
are  noteworthy  examples  of  Byzantine  dec- 
orative art;  but  especially  striking  is  the 
Madonna  and  saints.  The  Madonna  (of 
Plate  X),  clasping  the  Christ  child  with 
both  hands  and  inclining  her  head  to  touch 
his,  is  a  composition  freer  and  more  charm- 
injg,  even  in  its  ruined  state,  than  either  of 
Cimabue's  famous  Madonnas  in  Florence. 
**Thc  human  quality  of  the  group,"  as  Pro- 
fessor Morey  says,  "gives  our  Madonna 
considerable  importance  as  one,  at  least,  of 
the  earliest  examples  of  the  'tender'  Vir- 
gin." 

Exhaustive  and  clear  proof  is  presented 
that  these  Gospel  miniatures  are  to  be 
dated,  with  the  text,  in  the  second  half  of 
the  twelfth  century.  His  criticisms  of  these 
miniatures  as  works  of  art  and  the  place  he 
assigns  to  them  in  the  historical  develop- 
ment of  Byzantine  art,  are  eminently  just 
and  by  the  author's  sound  scholarship  con- 
vincing. 

The  miniature  illustrations  of  both  the 
Climacus  and  the  Gospel  manuscripts  are 
beautifully  reproduced,  in  their  original 
colors  of  rich  gold  and  blue  and  red,  and 
compared  with  the  illustrations  of  other 
manuscripts  of  the  same  work,  many  of 
which  also  are  added  in  photographic 
reproductions. 

The  concluding  chapter  is  concerned  with 
the  intensely  interesting  Coptic  representa- 
tions of  the  evangelists  upon  the  covers  of 
Mr.  Freer's  Washin^on  manuscript  of  the 
Gospels.  These  pamtings,  reproduced  in 
colors,  described  and  discussed  in  the  fac- 
simile edition  of  1913,  receive  fuller  treat- 
ment in  this  present  volume.  By  comparing 
them  with  other  examples  of  Coptic  icono- 
graphy, especially  the  frescoes  preserved 
from  the  vanished  monastery  of  Bawit  in 
upper  Egypt,  Dr.  Morey  now  comes  to  the 
very  definite  conclusion  that  the  pictures  on 
these  new  bindings  (for  there  is  conclusive 
evidence  that  this  manuscript  of  the  Gos- 
pels was  rebound)  date  from  the  6th  (pos- 
sibly the  7th)  century — that  is,  about  200 
years  after  the  manuscript  was  first  writ- 
ten. 

However  delighted  the  reviewer  may  be 
with  the  art  and  scholarship  of  the  book 
before  him,  his  work  cannot  be  complete 
without  a  word  of  criticism.  Happily  there 
is  very  little  fault  to  find:  the  translations 
of  the  titles  of  the  rungs  are  not  so  felici- 
tous as  they  might  be;  and  on  page  5  hd 
synddeia  is  much  more  likely  to  be  a  bad 
habit  than  bad  company,  "Different  than" 
(p.  40)  may  become  good  English  some 
day,  but  it  is  very  questionable  as  yet.  The 


"but  which"  at  the  top  of  page  80  is  a  sim- 
ilar inadvertence,  as  is  the  miswritten 
Karros  (for  Kairos,  p.  6),  cephaleia  for 
cephdlaia  (pp.  31  and  32),  asthSneia  for 
asthineiai,  thalassi  for  thalassii,  etc.

teenth International  Congress  of  Medicine, 
held  in  London  in  August,  1913. 

In  the  "Gas  Record"  for  January  27  ap- 
peared an  article  by  H.  L.  Campbell,  '14^, 
of  Alpena,  giving  the  history  of  the  fellow- 
ship m  gas  engineering  which  has  been 
given  to  the  University  since  1900  by  the 
Michigan  Gas  Association,  and  an  outline 
of  the  work  accomplished.  The  fellowship 
was  founded  in  order  to  provide  for  the 
investigation  of  problems  pertaining  to  the 
gas  industry,  and  the  work  carried  on  by 
the  various  incumbents  is  described  in  de- 
tail. The  article  is  accompanied  by  photo- 
graphs of  the  holders  of  the  fellowship 
since  its  establishment,  and  is  concluded 
with  a  full  list  of  the  holders,  with  their 
present  occupations.

History  at  the  University,  published  in 
May,  1914,  a  little  book  of  essays  under 
the  title,  "Historical  Essays  on  Apprentice- 
ship and  Vocational  Education."  The  work 
is  the  outgrowth  of  a  thesis  written  in  par- 
tial fulfilment  of  the  requirements  for  the 
degree  of  Doctor  of  Philosophy  at  the  Uni- 
versity of  Wisconsin.  To  certain  chapters 
of  his  thesis  Dr.  Scott  has  added  three  ar- 
ticles, two  of  which  appeared  in  The  Ele- 
mentary School  Teacher,  and  the  other  in 
The  Pedagogical  Seminary,  In  the  seven 
chapters  the  author  discusses  the  develop- 
ment of  apprenticeship  as  a  gild  require- 
ment, the  journeyman,  the  statute  of  arti- 
ficers, the  enforcement  of  the  statute,  ap- 
prenticeship as  an  educational  system,  the 
decline  of  the  English  apprenticeship  sys- 
tem, and  economic  reasons  for  vocational 
education  in  America.  Dr.  Scott  includes

making  altogether  a  book  of  nearly  a  hun- 
dred pages.

Bond  Issues,  and  the  Theory  of  Highway 
Bond  Calculations,"  and  makes  a  book  of 
136  pages,  including  an  index.  A  number

5%  On  Your  Savings 

In  investing  the  money  you  save  there  are  two  principal  things  to  be 
considered — Safety  and  Interest. 

The  First  Mortgage  Real  Estate  Bonds  sold  by  this  Company  afford  un- 
questioned safety — they  are  legal  investments  for  Trust  Funds,  and  they  pay 
5%  net  interest,  free  from  taxation,  a  higher  rate  than  can  be  obtained  else- 
where with  equal  safety. 

The  Bonds  can  be  bought  in  denominations  from  $50  to  1 1,000  to  suit  your 
convenience.  Each  Bond  is  the  direct  obligation  of  the  owner  of  one  specific 
piece  of  property,  giving  the  investor  a  tangible  security. 

The  U.  of  M.  Alumni  Association  has  invested  in  these  Bonds  for  its  En- 
dowment Fund.

Bouvier's  La\v  Dictionary 
and  Concise  Encyclopedia 

Rawle's  Revision  1914 


What  it  offers  the  Latp  Student  and  Young  Latpyer 

BOUVIER,  in  the  preface  to  his  first  edition,  sets  out  in  an  interesting 
way  the  diflSculties  which  he  encountered  on  entering  upon  the  study 
of  the  law.  While  the  needs  of  the  law  student  are  much  the  same  today, 
the  means  of  supplying  them  are  vastly  different.  The  present-day  student 
is  beset,  as  was  Bouvier,  with  two  difficulties :  First,  he  must  know  the 
meaning  of  legal  words  and  terms  which  he  encounters  in  his  studies;  sec- 
ond, in  the  study  of  any  subject  or  topic  of  the  law,  he  finds  references  to 
other  branches,  subjects  or  doctrines  which  he  has  not  yet  taken  up,  and  in 
order  to  pursue  his  studies  intelligently  he  must  have  access  to  a  reference 
book  which  gives  him  this  information  in  elementary  but  complete  form. 

As  a  dictionary  of  the  law  it  is  complete  and  exhaustive,  and  has 
served  as  a  model  for  three-quarters  of  a  century.  Bouvier  says  that  he 
has  **defined  and  explained  the  various  words  and  phrases  by  giving  their 
most  enlarged  meaning,  and  then  all  the  shades  of  signification  of  which 
they  were  susceptible." 

As  a  concise  and  elementary  encyclopedia  of  the  law,  Bouvier*s  sup- 
plies in  compact  form  a  general  outline  of  the  various  legal  subjects  and 
doctrines.  It  supplies  the  leading  cases,  and  references  to  the  latest  cases. 
In  this  it  has  a  tremendous  advantage  over  an  encyclopedia  of  the  law  pre- 
pared for  the  practitioner,  which  must  cite  all  of  the  cases,  and  which  is 
necessarily  voluminous  and  inconvenient  for  the  student,  who  wants  but 
little  more  than  a  comprehensive  outline  of  the  subject.

EVENT  AND  COMMENT 


Sixty-five   years   ago 
wji^TTHE UNI-  Michigan,     for     the 

VERSTTY  DOES  j.        J.  u     i 

FOR  MICHIGAN  ^^st  part,  was  back- 
woods or  wilderness. 
Detroit  had  a  population  of  only  21,- 
000.  Grand  Rapids  was  a  little  town 
of  3,000.  Of  course,  many  of  the 
towns  and  cities  of  the  Lower  Penin- 
sula were  already  on  the  map,  but 
their  growth  for  the  most  part  was 
in  the  future.  The  great  development 
of  the  State  has  come  within  the  last 
fifty  years ;  and  this  increase  in  power 
and  wealth  the  University  has  reflected. 
CH  It  is  the  men  of  college  training, 
or  men  who  have  been  influenced  by 
men  of  college  training,  who  are  re- 
sponsible for  the  commonwealth  as  it 
is  today.  While  statistics  are  not 
available  as  to  the  proportion  of 
Michigan  graduates  among  the  total 
of  college  men  in  the  State,  the  fact 
that  the  University  now  has  the  names 
of  8,500  graduates  and  former  stu- 
dents living  within  the  State  shows 
how  well  she  is  represented.  This 
body  of  men  represents  the  great  serv- 
ice of  the  University  to  the  State. 
In  almost  equal  degree  is  the  nation  at 
large  indebted  to  Michigan,  for  nearly 
32,000  other  alumni  and  former  stu- 
dents are  scattered  all  over  the  coun- 
try, a  fair  exchange  for  the  graduates 
of  other  universities  who  are  now  liv- 
ing within  the  State  itself.  But  the 
University  does  not  confine  her  serv- 
ices to  the  State  by  sending  forth  a 
constantly  increasing  stream  of  gradu- 
ates, though  this,  of  course,  must  be 
considered  her  great  mission.     A  re- 


cent official  statement  of  what  the 
University  is  doing  for  the  direct 
benefit  of  the  people  of  the  State, 
shows  how  intimately  the  University 
is  seeking  to  identify  herself  with  the 
life  of  the  people  of  the  State  through 
the  Public  Health  Service,  the  various 
branches  of  the  Extension  Service, 
Engineering,  Library,  Educational, 
Museum  extension  and  the  three  hun- 
dred and  fifty  lectures  which  are 
annually  provided. 


Now  is  a  proper  time 
FOR  AUJMN?^^  *^^  every  alumnus  to 
IN  THE  STATE  ^^^  practical  expres- 
sion to  his  loyalty. 
Two  requests  for  appropriations  for 
the  University  have  been  laid  before 
the  Legislature.  The  first  and  great- 
est need  to  which  the  Regents  call 
the  attention  of  the  people  of  the  State 
is  that  of  a  fire-proof  library  building, 
together  with  increased  library  facili- 
ties. With  all  due  respect  to  the  tra- 
ditional log  bearing  Mark  Hopkins  on 
one  end  and  Garfidd  at  the  otiher,  one 
can  hardly  conceive  of  a  university 
without  books.  Such  a  fifty-fifty  di- 
vision of  faculty  and  students  is  hardly 
practicable  under  modem  conditions, 
so  the  student  must  perforce  fall  back 
upon  the  stored  wisdom  of  the  ages  in 
the  form  of  books.  CL  Granted  this  im- 
portance of  the  library  to  university, 
adequate  housing  is  a  direct  corollary. 
Books  should  not  only  be  placed  most 
conveniently  for  reference,  but  every 
precaution  should  be  taken  to  prevent

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[April 


their  destruction  and  loss.  Our  pres- 
ent Library  fulfills  neither  of  these  re- 
quirements satisfactorily,  as  was 
shown  conclusively  in  the  statement 
of  the  Librarian  in  last  month's 
Alumnus.  The  present  Library  is  ex- 
ceedingly imflammable,  it  is  hopelessly 
overcrowded,  and  no  adequate  pro- 
vision is  made  for  the  use  of  the  books 
by  students  in  the  building.  The  rea- 
sons why  the  request  of  the  Regents 
was  for  a  new  library  building  which 
shall  be  absolutely  fire-proof,  and  at 
the  same  time  be  conveniently  ar- 
ranged, are  plain.  Overcrowded  now, 
we  are  adding  books  at  the  rate  of 
three-fifths  of  a  mile  of  shelving  a 
year.  The  problem  is  one  which  only 
the  Legislature  can  solve.  Every 
alumnus  and  well  wisher  of  the  Uni- 
versity should  make  it  a  point  to  help 
the  legislature  find  the  proper  answer. 


The  second  request  of 
THE  REQUEST  FOR  the  University  is  for 
A  MODEL  SCHOOL  a  demonstration  and 

model  school  for  the 
use  of  the  Department  of  Education. 
This  request  has  come  largely  because 
of  a  general  feeling  among  the  school 
superintendents  and  teachers  of  the 
State  that  the  University  does  not  pro- 
vide proper  facilities  for  the  students 
who  intend  to  take  up  teaching  as  their 
life  work.  For  the  last  ten  years,  over 
fifty  per  cent  of  the  graduates  of  the 
College  of  Literature,  Science  and  the 
Arts  have  been  enrolled  as  candidates 
for  positions  as  teachers.  Of  the  2,- 
139  regular  teachers  supplied  in  the 
high  schools  of  Michigan,  more  than 
one-third  are  graduates  of  the  Univer- 
sity. They  are  located  in  the  larger 
high  schools,  and  in  consequence  have 
large  classes,  so  that  they  instruct  ap- 
proximately one-half  of  the  high 
school  boys  and  girls  of  the  State. 
Their  high  school  students  all  look 
toward  the  University.  Ct  In  a  let- 
ter to  President  Hutchins,  Professor 
Allen  S.  Whitney,  head  of  the  Depart- 


ment of  Education,  says :  "Formerly 
the  preparation  of  secondary  school 
teachers  fell  to  the  normal  schools,  but 
today  this  burden  rests  almost  entirely 
upon  the  colleges  and  universities.  The 
large  high  schools  demand  that  teach- 
ers shall  possess  college  degn*ees,  or  an 
education  equivalent  to  four  years' 
training  beyond  the  high  school."  It  is 
therefore  emphasized  that  the  univer- 
sity demonstration  school  is  not  a  dup- 
licate of  the  woric  of  the  normal 
schools,  and  that  the  request  for  the 
model  school  is  founded  on  the  pres- 
ent day  emphasis  on  the  practical  op- 
posed to  the  merely  theoretical.  We 
do  not  let  men  practice  medicine  or 
dentistry  without  much  training  in 
hospitals  and  clinics;  the  law  school 
has  its  practice  court,  the  engineering 
college  its  laboratories  filled  with 
equipment.  Why  send  young  men  and 
women  out  to  learn  to  teach  at  the  ex- 
pense of  the  high  schools  and  the  high 
school  pupils? 


Michigan  was  a  na- 
JJ*^™^^^     tional   university  be- 


uNiVERsmr 


fore  it  was  a  state 
university.  For  the 
first  thirty  years  of  the  existence  of 
the  University,  up  to  1867,  the  State 
did  not  contribute  a  dollar  to  the  Uni- 
versity except  in  the  form  of  a  loan, 
upon  which  the  University  paid  in- 
terest. Buildings  were  erected  and  the 
annual  expenses  were  met  up  to  that 
time  by  the  proceeds  of  a  federal  gov- 
ernment land  grant  and  student  fees 
and  private  contributions.  So,  in  a 
large  way,  Michigan  would  seem  to 
have  a  definite  responsibility  towards 
the  nation,  particularly  as  she  is  still 
receiving  an  income  of  $38,500  from 
the  proceeds  of  the  sales  of  the  land 
originally  granted  by  the  country. 
Ct  Many  have  criticised  this  viewpoint 
on  the  part  of  the  University.  In  fact, 
it  is  a  common  criticism  of  all  state 
universities,  where  a  narrow  view 
grudges  the  income  which  the  Univer-

sity  spends  upon  the  students  from 
outside  the  state.  Nevertheless,  Michi- 
gan receives  a  large  income  from  these 
out-of-the-state  students.  The  fees  re- 
ceived from  them  are  higher  than 
from  the  Michigan  students,  while 
their  cost  to  the  State  is  lower.  In 
other  words,  the  University  would 
have  to  be  almost  as  large,  as  far  as 
equipment  and  teaching  force  is 
concerned,  to  take  care  of  the  students 
from  Michigan.  But  with  a  compara- 
tively small  increase  the  students  from 
outside  the  State  can  be  taken  care  of, 
and  a  very  material  increase  in  the  in- 
come of  the  University  obtained.  Last 
year  the  foreign  students  paid  into  the 
treasury  of  the  University  $220,000, 
more  than  half  of  the  total  income 
from  student  fees,  and  about  a  tenth 
of  the  total  annual  income  of  the  Uni- 
versity from  all  sources.  (It  It  is  easy 
enough  to  demonstrate  that  if  these 
fees  were  raised  there  would  be  a  ma- 
terial falling-off  in  the  attendance  of 
the  University,  and  a  corresponding 
decrease  in  the  income  from  this 
source  which  would  more  than  over- 
balance the  decreased  cost  of  the  main- 
tenance of  the  University.  It  would 
therefore  seem,  from  a  purely  business 
point  of  view,  undesirable  to  in- 
crease the  fees  for  foreign  students 
unduly.  As  a  matter  of  fact,  they  are 
continually  being  raised  as  actual  ne- 
cessity dictates,  d.  But,  after  all,  there 
is  a  more  fundamental  reason  for  the 
University's  maintaining  the  welcome 
which  she  has  always  given  to  students 
from  outside  the  State,  and  that  is  the 
effect  upon  the  students  themselves 
and  upon  the  University.  We  are  all 
aware  of  the  dangers  of  provincialism, 
and  the  most  effective  counter  is  the 
intercourse  between  students  from 
Michigan  and  students  from  Georgia 
or  Texas,  from  California  or  Wash- 
ington. If  there  is  one  place  in  this 
country  where  the  national  ideals 
should  be  fostered,  it  is  the  University, 
and  we  believe  no  factor  is  more  fruit- 
ful in  furthering  this  end  than  the 


preservation  of  its  national  constitu- 
ency. Michigan  has  long  been  proud 
of  the  fact  that  almost  half  of  the  en- 
rolment has  come  from  outside  the 
State. 


PRESERVE 
THE  RECORDS 
OF  THE  PAST 


The  old  days  of  the 
University  are  slip- 
ping away  from  us 
rapidly.  Already 
many  of  the  earlier  classes  have  no 
survivors,  and  we  are  in  danger  of 
losing  many  of  the  intimate  personal 
pictures  of  the  early  life  of  the  Uni- 
versity, preserved  among  the  effects  of 
the  earlier  alumni.  We  believe  that 
right  here  the  Alumni  Association  has 
a  mission.  Many  who  read  this  will 
recall  interesting  personal  memories  of 
the  University  of  the  earlier  day,  or 
will  have  contemporary  accounts,  old 
letters,  clippings  and  other  items  which 
would  be  of  the  greatest  interest,  not 
only  now,  but  in  the  future.  These 
the  General  Association  would  be  glad 
to  receive  and  preserve  for  future  ref- 
erence, possibly  in  co-operation  with 
the  University  Library.  CIL  Much  of 
such  material  which  might  come  to 
light,  particularly  the  more  intimate 
glimpses  revealed  in  letters  hwne  of 
the  students  of  the  forties  and  fifties, 
would  prove  most  interesting  to  thes 
readers  of  The  Alumnus.  So,  as 
editor,  the  Secretary  of  the  Alumni 
Association  seconds  his  own  plea  for 
the  preservation  of  all  this  material, 
and,  if  possible,  its  consignment  to  the 
archives  of  the  Association  and  the 
University.

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[April 


have  planned  to  hold  their  annual 
meeting  on  the  Coast  this  year,  notably 
the  National  Education  Association 
and  the  American  Association  for  the 
Advancement  of  Science,  to  say  noth- 
ing of  the  many  fraternity  conventions 
and  other  meetings  of  particular  in- 
terest to  college  men.  Clt  Michigan  is 
sure  to  be  well  represented  in  this  pil- 
grimage. Already  a  movement  is  un- 
der way  for  the  establishment  of  a 
Michigan  Day  in  San  Francisco.  The 
date  selected  will  probably  be  some 
time  in  August,  as  this  is  the  time 
when  many  representatives  from  the 
University  will  be  at  San  Francisco. 
The  President  will  probably  be  in  at- 
tendance at  the  meeting  of  the  Ameri- 
can Association  of  Universities,  while 
several  other  meetings  will  bring  other 
representatives  to  the  Coast.  Wherever 
the  proposal  has  been  made  it  has  been 
greeted  enthusiastically  by  the  local 
associations.  The  Michigan  Club  of 
Toledo  started  the  ball  rolling  with  the 
following  letter  to  Mr.  James  A.  Barr, 
the  Director  of  Congresses : 

Feb.  4,  1915. 
I  beg  to  acknowledge  receipt  of  your  day 
letter  under  date  of  Jan.  28th,  in  reference 
to  the  University  of  Michigan  Alumni  Day 
at  the  Exposition  and  assuring  me  of  your 
co-operation,  for  which,  in  behalf  of  the 
^Association  here,  I  extend  thanks  to  you. 
I  have  delayed  answering  until  the  entire 
Association  might  have  an  opportunity  to 
pass  upon  the  matter,  and  at  the  annual 
steak  dinner  held  on  the  second,  a  resolu- 
tion was  passed  favoring  such  a  day  at  the 
Exposition  and  pledging  the  assistance  of 
the  entire  Association  to  make  that  day  a 
great  success. 

CIL  Similar  approval  has  been  given  by 
alumni  associations  in  Cleveland,  De- 
troit, Boston,  Philadelphia  and  Omaha. 
More  definite  information  will  be 
given  in  later  numbers  of  The 
Alumnus.  Meanwhile,  if  you  are 
planning  to  spend  your  vacation  "see- 
ing America,"  try  to  plan  it  so  that 
you  can  take  part  in  the  great  gather- 
ing of  the  Michigan  clan  in  August. 
Michigan  headquarters  have  already 


been  established  at  the  Exposition,  for 
which  a  register  has  been  furnished  by 
the  University.  The  headquarters  are 
at  present  in  the  Machinery  Building, 
with  the  Meese  Gottfried  exhibit  on 
the  west  side,  extreme  south  end  of  the 
central  bay. 


Some  speculation  as 
REGULATION  IN  to  what  the  student  of 
OOLLEGEUFE     an  earlier  and  more 

primitive  day  will 
think  about  the  present  careful  order- 
ing of  undergraduate  life  and  relaxa- 
tion is  suggested  by  the  publication  of 
the  report  of  the  Committee  on  Stu- 
dent Affairs  elsewhere  in  this  issue. 
We  suspect  that  the  passage  of  time 
will  g^ve  varying  perspectives  to  dif- 
ferent readers.  All  this  careful  regu- 
lation will  seem  less  imperative  to 
those  whose  college  memories  are  of 
a  day  when  the  present  organization 
of  student  life  was  not  conceived. 
(It  The  point  is,  of  course,  that  now- 
adays there  is  danger  that  no  time  will 
be  left  for  college  work  after  college 
activities  are  taken  care  of.  This  peril, 
however,  is  only  for  a  certain  percent- 
age of  students,  for,  even  with  all  the 
multiplicity  of  outside  interests,  col- 
lege honors,  societies  and  "society,'' 
there  are  many  who  manage  to  live 
without  all  of  these  drafts  upon  time 
and  energy,  though  at  a  sacrifice  of 
some  of  the  best  things  in  college  life. 
A  careful,  tolerant  regulation,  to  the 
end  that  no  one  shall  overdo  the  mat- 
ter, and  which,  at  the  same  time,  as- 
sures to  those  who  desire  it,  or  per- 
haps even  more  to  those  who  do  not 
feel  the  need  of  it,  the  wholesome 
pleasure  of  companionship  and  par- 
ticipation in  college  activities,  seems 
very  desirable  in  such  a  student  com- 
munity as  at  Michigan.  CIL  The  ef- 
forts of  the  Committee  on  Stu- 
dent Affairs  towards  this  end  within 
the  last  few  years  have  borne  fruit. 
College  life,  in  certain  aspects  at  least, 
has    become    somewhat    less    hectic

EVENT  AND  COMMENT 


335 


There  is  a  distinctly  new  emphasis 
upon  college  work  for  its  own  sake, 
which  is  encouraging.  The  "student" 
is  in  better  repute.  Perhaps  the  best 
symptom  connected  with  the  work  of 
the  Committee  is  the  very  general  and 
sympathetic  co-operation  on  the  part 
of  the  students.  They  have  shown 
themselves  in  almost  every  instance 
quite  willing  to  meet  the  Committee 
half  way. 


By  the  time  this  issue 

CX>NCEIWINC  THE  of  ThE  A  L  U  M  N  U  S 

UNION  OPERA  reaches  its  readers, 
the  alumni  in  Detroit, 
Toledo,  Saginaw  and  Chicago  will 
have  had  an  opportunity  to  see  the  new 
Union  Opera,  "All  That  Glitters." 
Judged  from  the  attendance  at  the  six 
performances  given  in  Ann  Arbor  it 
was  a  great  success.  For  the  most  part, 
this  enthusiasm  was  justified.  The 
general  setting  was  exceptionally  ar- 
tistic. The  costumes  were  attractive 
and  the  music  tuneful.  A  certain  vigor 
and  dash  was  in  evidence,  which  has 
been  wanting  in  some  former  produc- 
tions. One  can  also  commend  the  se- 
lection of  the  principals,  every  one  of 
whom  was  adequate,  particularly  when 
judged  by  the  standard  of  former 
years.  The  usually  difficult  feminine 
roles  were  exceptionally  well  cast. 
(It  The  only  criticism  lies  in  the  ex- 
ceedingly slender  quality  of  the  vehicle 
upon  which  this  excellent  production 
rested.  The  defect,  perhaps,  lies  rather 
in  this  whole  species  of  musical  offer- 
ings than  in  this  single  example.  The 
exceedingly  limited  range  of  plot  and 
inspiration  in  our  musical  comedies 
is  only  reflected  too  faithfully.  One 
must  grant  to  this  year's  Opera,  how- 
ever, a  certain  perfection  in  form  and 
plot  which  has  usually  been  lacking. 
a.  But  in  contrast*  many  of  the  earlier 
operas  were  far  more  original  and 
spontaneous.  There  was  more  real 
humor  and  more  local  color,  and  to 
many,  at  least,  they  were  more  inter- 


esting for  that  reason.  In  fact,  the 
thought  arises  in  connection  with  this 
year's  Opera  as  to  whether  the  delib- 
erate departure  from  college  scenes 
and  atmosphere  is  not  a  mist^e.  If  the 
play  is  to  be  written  and  produced  by 
students,  it  would  seem  only  proper 
that  there  be  at  least  a  flavor  of  student 
life.  It  is  the  thing  the  student  knows. 
The  Alumnus  believes  that  is  what 
the  alumni  who  see  the  performance 
look  for,  even  if  a  f^w  of  the  jokes 
are  cryptic.  Michigenda  and  Culture 
may  have  been  less  perfect  in  their 
production,  and  rather  haphazard  as 
to  plot,  but  from  the  point  of  view  of 
libretto  and  music  they  were  more  in- 
teresting. The  reason,  we  believe,  lies 
in  the  fact  that  the  plays  centered 
about  the  life  the  student  authors 
knew  best,  and  were  able  to  reflect 
with  success. 


We  confess  to  con- 
THE  STUDENT  siderable  s  y  m  p  a  thy 
COUNQL  for  the  Student  Coun- 

cil,  which  has  found 
Itself  of  late  under  fire  from  several 
quarters.  It  occupies  a  strategic  posi- 
tion between  the  student  body  as  a 
whole  and  the  powers  that  be,  but  ap- 
parently it  also  experiences  the  disad- 
vantages of  its  neutral  position.  The 
real  criticism  of  the  Council  seems  to 
lie  in  the  fact  that  it  has  not  always 
risen  to  the  true  dignity  of  its  position. 
Ct  In  spite  of  the  fact  that  some  meas- 
ures of  real  importance  have  been 
taken  at  different  times  in  the  past, 
which  show  what  such  an  organization 
may  accomplish,  insofar  as  the  Council 
is  to  be  criticised,  one  finds  the  prin- 
cipal opportunity  in  the  lack  of  an  ag- 
gresive  policy.  There  are  many  ques- 
tions which  might  quite  properly  be 
discussed,  and  acted  upon,  by  a  body 
strong  enough  m  its  personnel  to 
make  its  decisions  effective.  Such 
questions  as,  for  instance,  that 
of  cheating  at  examinations,  or  the 
mutilation  of  magazines  and  books  in

the  Library,  which  is  becoming  a  very 
serious  problem,  might  be  considered 
to  more  advantage  than  the  discussion 
of  the  proper  type  of  toque,  or  some 
other  question  which,  while  doubtless 
exceedingly  grave  in  the  undergradu- 
ate mind,  has  no  real  bearing  upon  the 
fundamental  problems  of  student  life. 
(It  A  recent  action  of  the  Council 
struck  out  from  its  constitution  the 
clause  which  reads  as  follows : 

"It  is  the  duty  of  a  councilman  to  prevent 
hazing,  riots  or  destruction  of  property. 
After  warning  students  without  result,  it 
shall  be  the  duty  of  the  councilmen  to  bring 
the  same  to  account." 

This  clause  formed  an  additional  item 
to  the  original  constitution  which  was 
drawn  up  by  a  committee  of  the  Fac- 
ulty. Members  of  the  Council  were 
responsible  for  its  inclusion  at  a  meet- 
ing held  in  May,  1914.  It  was  soon 
found,  however,  that  a  practical  appli- 
cation of  this  clause  was  impossible. 
The  duties  which  the  Council  had  as- 
sigfned  itself  proved  too  broad,  as  was 
shown  in  one  case  where  members  of 
the  Cotmcil  attempted  to  restrain  a 
demonstration  on  the  part  of  students. 
The  action  is  probably  a  wise  one  un- 
der the  circumstances.  Nevertheless  it 
remains  for  us  to  hope  that  some 
other  way  may  be  found  to  make  the 
possible  power  of  the  Council  more 
effective. 


A  NEW  PRO. 
FESSORSHIP 
IN  HISTORY 


By  the  terms  of  the 
will  of  the  late  Pro- 
fessor Richard  Hud- 
son, the  Department 
of  History  in  the  University  receives 
the  sum  of  $75,000  for  the  establish 
ment  of  a  professorship.  Professor 
Hudson  also  left  a  bequest  of  $25,000 
to  Harper  Hospital,  Detroit,  the  bal- 
ance of  the  estate  going  to  his  nephews 
and  nieces.  Any  surplus  which  may 
be  left  from  the  original  bequest  to 
the  University  is  to  be  used  for  in- 
struction in  History  in  the  Univer- 
sity, a.  The  form  which  this  gift  to 
the  University  takes  is  quite  charac- 
teristic of  the  donor.  Professor  Hud- 
son was  vitally  interested  in  his  sub- 
ject. His  specialty,  as  far  as  he  may 
be  said  to  have  specialized,  was  in  the 
field  of  modern  European  problems 
and  particularly  the  Eastern  question. 
A  large  part  of  his  library,  which  he 
had  already  given  to  the  University, 
consisted  of  works  in  this  field.  Pro- 
fessor Hudson's  gift  will  be  felt  a 
particularly  happy  one,  as  a  striking 
indication  of  the  form  which  future 
benefactions  may  well  take.  The  en- 
dowment of  professorships,  of  re- 
search laboratories  and  fellowships,  as 
well  as  the  establishment  of  funds  for 
the  use  of  the  Library,  are  in  many 
ways  the  most  acceptable  gifts  which 
the  University  can  receive.

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[April 


As  is  customary,  a  prize  of  $ioq 
has  been  offered  this  year  by  the 
Menorah  Society  for  the  best  essay 
on  any  subject  dealing  with  the  litera- 
ture, history  or  achievements  of  the 
Jewish  people  which  is  approved  by 
the  chairman  of  the  committee  of 
award,  or  on  one  of  the  eleven  sub- 
jects suggested  by  the  committee. 
Competition  is  open  to  all  undergrad- 
uate students  of  the  University. 

Membership  in  the  Michigan  Union 
for  the  present  year  is  almost  exactly 
what  it  was  a  year  ago.  The  total 
membership  for  the  year  1914  was 
2,835,  while  the  student  membership 
for  191 5  the  last  part  of  February  was 
2,665.  This,  with  150  student  life 
memberships  which  were  received  dur- 
ing the  past  year,  brings  the  total  up 
to  2,845,  ^^  ^o  above  the  total  mem- 
bership for  1914.  This  is  considerably 
more  than  half  of  the  total  male  stu- 
dent body. 

Michigan's  debating  teams  were  vic- 
torious in  both  of  the  two  opening  de- 
Ixites  of  the  Mid-West  Debating 
League,  held  with  the  University  of 
Wisconsin  at  Madison,  and  with  the 
University  of  Illinois  in  University 
Hall,  on  the  evening  of  March  26, 
winning  an  unanimous  decision  at 
Madison  and  a  two  to  one  victory  over 
Illinois.  The  question  of  debate  was: 
"Resolved,  That  in  Anti-Trust  Legis- 
lation, Labor  Unions  Should  Be  Ex- 
empt From  Construction  as  Combina-

Professor  Joseph 'A.  Bursley,  '99^, 
Associate  Professor  of  Mechanical 
Engineering  in  the  University,  who  is 
on  leave  of  absence,  recently  gave  a 
series  of  lectures  on  scientific  man-

and  is  now  in  Pittsfield,  Mass.,  where 
he  is  helping  to  instal  a  system  of 
scientific  management  in  the  plant  of 
the  Eaton,  Crane  &  Pike  Company. 

The  President  of  the  University  has 
been  informed  that  on  March  20th  a

EVENT  IN  BRIEF 


339 


On  account  of  the  war,  the  Purchas- 
ing Department  of  the  University  has 
experienced  great  difficulty  in  secur- 
ing chemicals,  drugs  and  laboratory 
materials,  while  the  prices  for  them 
have  increased  enormously.  For  in- 
stance, an  advance  of  nearly  i,ooo  per 
cent,  in  the  cost  of  carbolic  acid  alone 
has  taken  place  within  the  last  few 
months.  One  of  the  most  difficult 
things  to  obtain  are  the  cover  glasses 
for  microscopes,  the  supply  of  which 
is  almost  exhausted. 

At  the  election  held  on  Saturday, 
March  27,  officers  for  the  University 
Y.  M.  C.  A.  for  the  coming  year  were 
elected  as  follows:  Lewis  C.  Rei- 
mann,  '17/,  Iron  River,  president; 
Waldo  R.  Hunt,  '16,  Detroit,  vice- 
president,  and  Philip  C.  Lovejoy,  '16, 
Ann  Arbor,  secretary  and  treasurer. 
The  new  officials  will  take  office  at  the 
first  meeting  of  the  Association  after 
the  spring  vacation,  when  the  standing 
committees  for  the  year  will  be  ap- 
pointed by  the  president. 

In  accordance  with  a  bill  passed  at 
the  meeting  of  the  Dental  Faculty  of 
State  Universities,  held  in  Philadel- 
phia during  the  latter  part  of  Febru- 
ary, four  years  will  now  be  required 
for  receiving  the  D.  D.  S.  degree  from 
the  Michigan  College  of  Dental  Sur- 
gery. If  the  Michigan  school  can  gain 
the  support  of  other  state  dental  insti- 
tutions, the  new  ruling  will  go  into 
effect  with  the  fall  of  1916 ;  if  not,  the 
fdur-year  course  will  not  start  until 
1917.  The  Dental  Faculty  of  the  Uni- 
versity are  very  much  pleased  with 
the  new  law,  as  they  have  been  trying 
for  some  years  to  pass  a  similar  one. 
As  passed  by  the  Association  at  Phila- 
delphia, the  ruling  leaves  the  four- 
year  course  optional  with  the  various 
dental  colleges  in  1916,  but  makes  it 
obligatory  in  191 7.  A  similar  resolu- 
tion was  passed  in  Ann  Arbor  last 
winter  by  the  Convention  of  the  Na- 
tional Dental  Faculty. 


A  reorganization  of  the  Aero  So- 
ciety, which  was  disbanded  last  spring, 
following  the  demolishment  of  its 
glider  in  the  trials  on  Ferry  Field, 
was  effected  on  February  27.  Officers 
were  elected  as  follows:  President, 
Flavins  E.  Loudy,  '15^,  Hancock;  vice 
president,  George  B.  Smith,  'i6e, 
Washington,  D.  C;  secretary-treas- 
urer, David  M.  Bavly,  *i$e,  Detroit; 
experimental  manager,  Lewis  C.  Wil- 
coxen,  '16^,  Holyoke,  Mass. 

As  the  result  of  the  campaign  for 
a  third  residence  hall  for  women  of 
the  University,  undertaken  by  the  As- 
sociation of  Michigan  Women  of  De- 
troit, more  than  $6,000  has  been  se- 
cured from  the  aliminae  of  the  Uni- 
versity. The  campaign  was  b^;un  in 
the  spring  of  1913,  the  Detroit  Asso- 
ciation having  secured  the  co-opera- 
tion of  several  other  alumnae  associa- 
tions. The  Regents  have  voted  to  grant 
a  site  for  the  hall,  providing  the  build- 
ing meets  with  their  approval.  As  yet, 
no  large  subscriptions  have  been  ob- 
tained, the  idea  of  the  Detroit  Club 
being  to  get  as  many  small  ones  from 
as  many  alumnae  as  possible. 

For  the  first  time  in  the  twenty-five 
years  of  the  history  of  the  University 
Oratorical  Contests,  a  woman  carried 
off  first  honors  in  the  debate  held  on 
March  5  in  University  Hall.  Prances 
L.  Hickok,  '15,  of  Plainwell,  speaking 
on  "The  Mission  of  New  Woman- 
hood," won  the  Chicago  Alumni 
Medal  and  the  Kauffman  Testimonial 
of  $100,  and  by  reason  of  her  victory 
will  represent  the  University  in  the 
Northern  Oratorical  Contest,  held  this 
year  at  the  University  of  towa,  on 
May  7.  Second  place  was  won  by  Jo- 
seph R.  Cotton,  '16,  of  Lewiston, 
Mont,,  with  his  oration,  "The  Passing 
of  Parties."  He  was  given  the  second 
KaufTman  Testimonial  of  $50.  Irving 
S.  Toplon,  '18,  of  Lake  Linden,  won 
third  place  with  his  oration,  "Legal- 
ized Murder."

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[April 


A  series  of  two  lectures  on  the  in- 
come tax  were  given  before  the  stu- 
dents in  Econonrics  by  Professor  T. 
S.  Adams,  of  the  Economics  Depart- 
ment of  the  University  of  Wisconsin, 
on  March  2  and  4.  Professor  Adams 
emphasized  in  his  lectures  the  ill  ef- 
fects of  the  property  tax,  and  brought 
out  the  juster  system  of  the  income 
tax,  which  is  based  entirely  on  the 
ability  to  pay.  Professor  Adams  also 
spoke  before  Professor  Dowrie's 
classes  in  Labor  Problems  on  "Labor 
Problems." 

Plans  have  been  completed  for  the 
erection  of  an  arcade  running  from 
State  to  Maynard  Streets,  and  work 
will  be  started  at  once,  so  as  to  ensure 
completion  by  the  opening  of  the  Uni- 
versity next  fall.  The  arcade  will  start 
on  State  Street,  south  of  Frank's  Boot 
Shop,  coming  out  on  Maynard  Street 
north  of  the  University  Music  House, 
and  will  consist  of  two  stories,  with 
room  for  eighteen  shops.  The  eastern 
end,  on  State  Street,  will  be  occupied 
by  a  branch  of  the  Farmers'  &  Me- 
chanics' Bank  which,  with  Mr.  R.  M. 
Nichols,  is  responsible  for  the  build- 
ing of  the  arcade. 

A  copy  of  "Tabule  Astronomic," 
one  of  the  oldest  books  in  existence, 
has  recently  been  obtained  by  the  Gen- 
eral Library,  through  the  eflforts  of 
Professor  Louis  C.  Karpinski,  of  the 
Mathematics  Department,and  the  Uni- 
versity's German  agent.  The  book  was 
printed  in  1492,  shortly  after  the  in- 
vention of  the  printing  press,  and  be- 
cause of  the  few  copies  printed  and  its 
peculiar  value  to  mathematical  schol- 
ars, is  much  sought  after  by  book  col- 
lectors. Although  yellow  and  worn 
with  age,  the  tables  can  still  be  read. 
Alfonso  X.  of  Castile,  the  brother  of 
Emperor  Frederick  Barbarossa,  and 
one  of  the  greatest  scholars  of  the 
thirteenth  century,  compounded  the 
tables,  which  were  printed  in  Latin  by 
the  Cali  Press  of  Venice. 


In  order  to  make  room  for  a  lawn 
in  front  of  the  new  Newberry  Hall 
of  Residence  for  Women,  which  is 
practically  completed,  the  building 
which  has  been  occupied  for  more 
than  ten  years  by  the  Athletic  Asso- 
ciation, on  State  Street,  between  West 
Hall  and  Newberry  Hall,  will  be  razed 
some  time  during  the  early  spring.  The 
offices  of  the  Athletic  Association  have 
been  moved  temporarily  to  the  large 
west  room  on  the  second  floor  of  the 
clubhouse  on  Ferry  Field.  It  is  hoped 
that  when  the  proposed  enlargement 
of  Waterman  Gymnasium  is  complet- 
ed, room  for  the  Athletic  Association 
offices  will  be  included. 

Several  new  courses  for  the  1915 
session  have  recently  been  announced 
by  Professor  E.  H.  Kraus,  Acting 
Dean  of  the  Summer  School.  Two 
courses  in  journalism  will  be  given  by 
Mr.  Lyman  L.  Bryson,  the  first  being 
a  course  in  Elementary  Newspaper 
Writing  and  the  other  a  course  in  Ad- 
vanced Newspaper  Writing.  From 
time  to  time  these  classes  will  be  ad- 
dressed by  experienced  newspaper 
men  from  nearby  cities.  A  course  in 
the  History  of  Religion  will  be  given 
by  Professor  Campbell  Bonner,  while 
Dr.  H.  F.  Adams  will  have  charge  of 
a  course  in  the  Psychology  of  Adver- 
tising. Two  courses  in  Accounting 
Principles  will  also  be  given,  the  first 
dealing  primarily  with  the  theory  of 
accounts,  and  the  second  consisting 
chiefly  of  laboratory  work  in  which 
the  student  will  be  required  to  work 
out  three  sets  of  books,  one  for  private 
business,  one  for  partnership  and  one 
for  corporations.  Mr.  R.  G.  Rodkey 
will  take  charge  of  this  course.  Pro- 
fessor F.  L.  Paxson,  of  the  University 
of  Wisconsin,  formerly  of  the  Michi- 
gan Faculty,  will  give  two  courses  in 
History,  one  dealing  with  the  History 
of  the  United  States  since  the  Civil 
War,  1873-1913,  and  the  other  a  sem- 
inary in  American  History,  while  Pro- 
fessor E.  A.  Boudce  will  give  a  course 
on  Henrik  Ibsen.

EVENT  IN  BRIEF 


341 


The  Morris  property,  nearly  oppo- 
site the  Main  Building  of  the  Uni- 
versity, has  been  purchased  for  a 
Catholic  Guild  unit.  It  is  in  the  same 
block  as  the  Michigan  Union  property, 
and  considered  very  valuable.  There 
are  now  nearly  500  Catholic  students 
in  the  University,  and  it  is  felt  that 
some  special  arrangement  should  be 
made  for  them,  as  they  overcrowd  St. 
Thomas  Church,  the  only  Catholic 
church  in  the  City.  Catholics  of  the 
State  and  alumni  will  be  asked  to 
raise  a  fund  of  $100,000,  so  that  a 
chapel,  library  and  pastoral  residence 
may  be  erected.  Bishop  Kelly,  of  St. 
Thomas  Church,  is  in  charge  of  the 
undertaking.  ^ 

The  191 5  Michigan  Union  Opera,

ville, Ky. 

One  of  the  features  of  the  perform- 
ance was  a  modem  interpretation  of  a 
classical  dance  entitled  "The  Storm," 
in  which  M.  F.  Dunne  and  Durward 
Grinstead  took  part,  while  the  two 
songs  which  stood  out  were  "I  Want 


a  Hero,"  sung  by  Annette  and  the 
chorus,  and  "There  Are  No  Tears  or 
Sorrows,"  by  Dick  and  Adelaide.  Four 
out-of-town  performances  were  given 
this  year.  On  the  evening  of  April  12, 
the  play  was  shown  in  Toledo  at  the 
Auditorium  Theater,  and  on  the  fol- 
lowing evening  in  Chicago,  where  it 
was  g^ven  in  Orchestra  Hall.  On 
Wednesday  evening,  April  14,  the 
production  was  shown  at  the  Avenue 
Theater  in  Detroit,  and  on  Thursday, 
April  16,  at  the  Academy  Theater  in 
Saginaw.  Elaborate  plans  were  made 
for  the  entertainment  of  the  cast  by 
the  alumni  in  each  of  these  cities.  In 
Toledo  they  were  the  guests  of  the 
Alumni  Association  at  a  luncheon  held 
Monday  noon,  while  in  Chicago  they

sisted by  eight  committees  on  which 
prominent  alumni  served.

Columbia  University,  as  the  principal 
speaker,  while  on  Thursday  morning 
a  meeting  of  the  Deans  of  Women  of 
Michigan  was  held  at  Dean  Myra  B.

auspices  of  the  University  School  of 
Music  was  given,  and  in  the  evening 
an  informal  reception  was  held  at  the 
Michigan  Union.  Following  the  re- 
ception an  address  entitled  "Great  Ital- 
ian Earthquakes,"  was  delivered  by- 
Professor  W.  H.  Hobbs,  of  the  Uni- 
versity, in  University  Hall.  Friday 
morning  the  literary  meeting  of  the 
General  Session  was  addressed  by 
Professor  Lotus  Coffman,  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  Illinois,  and  Professor 
Henry  Suzzalo,  Teachers  College,  Co- 
lumbia, while  on  Friday  noon  a  dinner 
and  conference  of  college  presidents 
was  held  at  the  City  Y.  M.  C.  A.  The 
annual  Alumnae  Banquet  was  held  in 
Barbour  Gymnasium  on  Saturday  ev- 
ening, and  was  preceded,  as  usual,  by

achievements  in  actual  engineering 
work.  They  are :  George  H.  Benzen- 
berg,  (yje,  D.  Eng.,  '12,  of  Milwaukee, 
Wis.;  H.  W.  Douglas,  '90^,  of  Ann 
Arbor;  I.  M.  Wolverton,  '90^,  of  Mt. 
Vernon,  O.;  C.  W.  Hubbell,  '93^,  C. 
E.,  '04,  Manila,  P.  I.;  G.  P.  Henry, 
'oiCy  of  Detroit;  Elmer  E.  Ware,  '07^, 
of  Ann  Arbor,  and  J.  A.  Brown,  '05^, 
of  Jackson. 

As  a  part  of  the  work  in  Campus 
beautification  which  has  been  under- 
taken, over  a  hundred  flower  beds  are 
being  set  out  in  front  of  the  Law 
Building,  University  Hall,  the  Mu- 
seum and  the  Memorial  Building, 
while  thirteen  large  beds  of  privet, 
prickly  ash,  honeysuckle,  dogwood, 
witch  hazel  and  sweet  briar  are  being 
placed  in  the  front  parking  on  State 
Street.  Boston  ivy  is  also  being 
trained  over  Memorial  Stone  of  the 
Class  of  '65  at  the  northwest  corner 
of  the  Campus.  Flowers  and  shrub- 
bery of  nearly  a  hundred  varieties  are 
included.  The  work  is  in  charge  of 
the  Department  of  Buildings  and 
Grounds. 

The  annual  regatta  of  the  Michigan 
Union  Boat  Club  will  be  held  this  year 
on  Barton  Pond,  May  29.  Included 
in  the  list  of  events  are  the  water 
marathon  from  Lakeland  to  Barton 
Pond,  three  canoe  races  open  to  stu- 
dents only,  and  two  or  more  in  which 
outside  canoe  organizations  are  to 
participate,  tilting,  diving  and  several 
short  distance  races.  There  will  be  no 
long  distance  swims  this  year. 


Asa  C.  Baldwin,  surveyor  of  the  In- 
ternational Boundary  Commission,  de- 
livered an  illustrated  lecture  in  Alumni 
Memorial  Hall  on  Friday,  March  19, 
taking  as  his  subject,  "The  Survey  of 
the  Alaskan  Boundary."  Mr.  Baldwin 
was  chief  of  the  American  party  which 
worked  on  the  survey  in  conjunction 
with  the  Canadian  party,  in  accordance 
with  the  treaty  between  the  two  gov- 
ernments. The  work  was  completed 
only  last  year.  The  lecture  was  accom- 
panied by  many  moving  pictures  and 
slides  illustrating  the  progress  of  the 
survey  and  picturing  the  life  of 
Alaska.  It  was  given  under  the 
auspices  of  the  University,  and  was 
open  to  all  who  cared  to  attend. 

Over  400  students  and  members  of 
the  Faculty  witnessed  the  annual  play 
of  the  Deutscher  Verein,  which  was 
given  very  successfully  on  Friday  ev- 
ening, March  26,  in  Sarah  Caswell 
Angell  Hall.  The  play  chosen  was 
"Einer  Muss  Heiraten,"  a  one-act 
comedy  by  Wilhelmi,  which  demands 
a  cast  of  only  four  characters.  Owing 
to  the  illness  of  Harold  J.  Sherman, 
'17,  of  Toledo,  O.,  Mr.  F.  B.  Wahr, 
'11,  A.  M.  '12,  an  instructor  in  the  Ger- 
man Department,  who  had  charge  of 
the  play,  was  called  upon  to  fill  the 
role  of  Wilhelm.  Ruth  J.  Weltmann, 
'15,  of  St.  Joseph,  took  the  part  of  the 
aunt,  Gertrude,  while  Mildred  Nuech- 
terlein,  '15,  Grand  Rapids,  was  the  shy 
young  cousin.  The  part  of  the  eccen- 
tric professor  was  taken  by  Bemhard 
H.  Dawson,  '16,  of  Muskogee,  Okla. 
Following  the  play,  an  informal  re- 
ception and  dance  was  held  for  the 
members  of  the  German  Faculty  and 
their  wives  in  Barbour  Gymnasium, 
for  which  Professor  J.  A.  C.  Hildner 
and  Mrs.  Hildner  acted  as  chaperones.

FURTHER  DETAILS  OF  THE  COMMENCEMENT  PROGRAM 

Since  publishing  the  list  of  classes  which  plan  to  come  back  for  the  Sev- 
enty-first Commencement  in  force,  the  General  Association  has  heard  from 
the  secretaries  of  five  other  classes,  making  a  total  of  sixteen  that  are 
already  at  woric.  This  means  that  we  will  have  twenty-five  or  thirty  classes 
on  hand  when  the  time  comes.  There  are  some  classes,  however,  which 
ought  to  meet,  that  have  shown  no  signs  of  life  as  yet.  If  you  who  read 
this  wish  to  meet  with  your  old  classmates,  and  feel  that  the  only  thing 
really  needed  is  to  issue  a  call,  write  to  your  class  secretary,  or,  in  case  you 
have  none,  to  the  General  Secretary  of  the  Alumni  Association,  who  will  be 
glad  to  furnish  class  lists  upon  application,  and  see  that  a  secretary  is  ap- 
pointed. Remember  the  dates :  Reunion  Day,  Tuesday,  June  22 ;  Alumni 
Day,  Wednesday,  Jime  23 ;  Commencement,  Thursday,  June  24. 

At  their  March  meeting  the  R^ents  approved  of  the  plan  for  an  Alumni 
Luncheon  on  Wednesday,  in  place  of  the  Commencement  Dinner  on  Thurs- 
day. This  will  be  the  big  event  of  Alumni  Day,  Wednesday  of  Commence- 
ment Week.  It  will  take  the  form  of  a  luncheon  tendered  to  the  visiting 
alumni  by  the  University.  Provision  will  be  made  so  that  classes  can  be 
seated  by  themselves  in  Waterman  Gymnasium,  and  suitable  entertainment 
will  be  provided.  Following  the  luncheon  the  Alumni  Mass  Meeting  will 
be  held  in  Hill  Auditorium,  which  will  be  characterized  by  short  speeches, 
music,  the  old  songs,  cheers  and  general  hilarity.  Then  will  come  the  Alumni 
Parade  to  the  Michigan-Pennsylvania  ball  game  on  Ferry  Field.  It  was  a 
most  successful  event  last  year,  and  should  be,  this  year,  an  even  happier 
example  of  the  carnival  spirit  which  reigns  when  the  alumnus  comes  back 
to  renew  his  youth. 

F^ollows  some  additional  reports  from  various  class  secretaries. 

1880m. 

The  class  of  1880  in  the  Medical  School  will  celebrate  its  thirty-fifth  anniversary 
on  June  22  and  23.  Several  notices  have  already  been  mailed  to  the  members  of  the 
class,  and  a  strong  effort  is  being  made  by  the  officers  to  make  the  reunion  a  success. 

1881. 

The  class  of  1881  in  the  College  of  Literature,  Science  and  the  Arts  plans  to  hold 
a  reunion  this  year. 

Ai,LAN  H.  Frazer,  Secretary. 
1882. 

The  class  of  '82  in  the  Literary  and  Engineering  Colleges  will  meet  at  Commence- 
ment time  this  year.  The  secretary  has  asked  R^ent  J.  E.  Beal  to  act  as  secretary 
for  the  reunion,  and  take  charge  of  the  meeting.  A  notice  has  already  been  sent  out 
to  the  members  of  the  class. 

1902/. 

The  class  of  1902  law  will  hold  a  reunion  this  June.  The  Class  Directory  is  now 
in  press  and  will  be  sent  out  soon. 

J.  H.  Drake,  Secretary. 

1913. 
Plans  are  already  under  way  for  the  first  reunion  of  the  literary  class  of  1913 
in  June.    At  a  dinner  at  the  Union  last  month,    preliminary    plans    for    bringing    back 
a  large  attendance  were  discussed,  and  a  committee  was  appointed  to  look  out  for 
the  details  of  the  meeting.

reunion  at  Ann  Arbor  on  June  22  and  23,  this  year,  in  accordance  with  the  Dix 
Plan.  As  H.  H.  Lovell,  president  of  the  class,  is  unable  to  give  any  attention  to  the 
reunion,  full  authority  has  been  delegated  to  Cuthbert  C.  Adams,  care  The  Merchants' 
Loan  &  Trust  Company,  Chicago,  to  act  as  general  chairman.  He  has  appointed  Percy 
W.  Jones  and  Ernest  Lunn  to  serve  with  him  as  executive  committee.  We  hope  that 
every  graduate  and  former  member  of  the  class  will  make  a  great  effort  to  join  in 
this  reunion.  Full  particulars  will  be  sent  by  mail  in  due  course,  and  in  the  meantime 
it  is  hoped  that  any  member  who  has  any  suggestions  to  make  with  reference  to  the 
details  of  the  reunion  will  communicate  with  the  chairman.

THE  MUNICIPAL  RESEARCH  BUREAU 

Two  years  ago  the  University  authorized  the  establishment  of  a  Mu- 
nicipal Research  Bureau  by  the  Department  of  Political  Science,  to  be  main- 
tained in  connection  with  the  courses  being  organized  at  the  same  time  in 
Municipal  Administration.  This  work  is  now  well  under  way.  Although 
up  to  the  present  time  the  activities  of  the  new  Bureau  have  been  largely 
in  connection  with  work  in  the  field  of  Municipal  Administration,  instruc- 
tion in  which  is  given  under  the  direction  of  Professor  Robert  Treat  Crane, 
plans  are  contemplated  for  the  enlargement  of  its  scope,  so  that  opportunity 
may  be  given  to  the  students  in  Legislation  and  Bill  Drafting  for  practical 
study  in  these  subjects.  At  present  the  work  of  the  Bureau,  which  is  largely 
collecting  and  collating  material,  is  entirely  in  charge  of  the  secretary.  Miss 
Gertrude  E.  Woodard,  for  many  years  Assistant  Librarian  of  the  Law 
School  of  the  University,  and  now  Secretary  of  the  Association  of  Law 
Librarians,  and  Editor  of  the  Law  Library  Journal,  Officially  the  Bureau  is 
known  as  the  Bureau  of  Reference  and  Research  in  Government,  a  title 
which  perhaps  more  specifically  defines  its  objects.  It  is  primarily  intended, 
however,  to  be  a  reference  bureau  for  the  purpose  of  collecting  and  circu- 
lating information  concerning  the  problems  of  municipal  administration; 
the  shorter  title,  therefore,  is  perhaps  more  appropriate. 

The  specific  aims  of  the  Bureau  are  three-fold.  In  the  first  place,  it 
aims  to  collect  pertinent  information  as  to  the  experiences  of  cities  in  dealing 
with  various  mtmicipal  problems.  In  the  second  place,  it  aims  to  circulate 
that  information,  particularly  among  Michigan  cities,  upon  request,  in  the 
form  of  bibliographies  and  digests  of  available  literature.  In  the  third  place, 
the  Bureau  aims  to  undertake  investigations  of  such  concrete  conditions  and

346  THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS  [April 

problems  as  may  seem  practicable,  in  connection  with  the  work  of  advanced 
students  in  the  courses  in  Municipal  Administration.  The  Bureau  aims  also 
to  suM>lement  the  Library  of  the  University,  which  is  unusually  well  sup- 
plied with  material  on  municipal  administration,  and  as  far  as  possible  to 
make  this  material  available  for  the  officers  of  the  cities  and  villages  of 
the  State. 

At  present  many  Michigan  municipalities  are  seriously  considering  re- 
vision of  their  charters  under  the  recent  Home  Rule  Act.  In  view  of  the 
varying  experiments  in  government  which  are  now  being  made  all  over 
the  country,  including  the  commission  form  of  government  and  the  city 
manager  plan,  some  knowledge  of  the  experiences  of  other  cities  is  extremely 
desirable.  Unfortunately  the  very  material  which  is  most  useful  is  often 
difficult  to  obtain  in  any  form  which  would  make  it  of  use  to  those  engaged 
upon  similar  work.  Usually  it  is  embodied  in  scattered  reports;  or  in  local 
newspaper  accounts.  The  collection  and  indexing  of  this  material  is  there- 
fore one  of  the  chief  tasks  of  the  Bureau.  Similarly,  upon  other  questions 
which  are  everywhere  being  considered,  city  markets,  city  planning,  mu- 
nicipal ownership,  taxation,  regulation  of  public  utilities,  the  Bureau  aims 
to  collect  a  great  fund  of  serviceable  information  for  anyone  who  is  prop- 
erly entitled  to  use  it. 

The  Bureau  is  not  in  any  sense  a  rival  of  the  Legislative  Bureau,  main- 
tained at  Lansing,  for  the  use  of  the  legislators  in  drafting  bills  or  collecting 
material  relative  to  proposed  legislation.  The  University's  Municipal  Bureau 
aims  rather  to  answer  the  needs  of  the  smaller  cities  and  towns.  Already 
Newberry,  Bay  City,  Traverse  City,  Benton  Harbor,  Kalamazoo  and  others 
have  taken  advantage  of  the  resources  oflfered  by  the  Bureau.  Some  of 
these  places  have  been  visited  personally,  and  consultations  have  been  held 
with  local  officers  concerning  municipal  problems  upon  which  information 
was  needed.  The  Bureau  has  also  found  it  advisable  to  reciprocate  with 
cities  outside  the  State,  many  of  which  are  able  to  furnish  much  material, 
particularly  on  the  commission  and  managerial  forms  of  government.  The 
information  obtained  this  way  becomes  immediately  available  for  the  use 
of  the  Michigan  municipalities. 

The  preparation  of  tentative  drafts  of  city  charters  and  amendments  to 
charters  for  particular  purposes  has  fallen  within  the  province  of  the  Bureau. 
In  developing  this  side  of  its  work,  however,  the  fact  has  always  been  em- 
phasized that  such  preliminary  drafts  are  submitted  only  as  a  help,  rather 
than  as  a  definite  suggestion,  since  the  final  form  of  all  charters  and  ordi- 
nances must  depend  to  a  great  extent  upon  local  conditions. 

Among  questions  which  have  already  been  submitted  to  the  Bureau 
might  be  cited  the  request  of  one  city  for  a  bibliography  on  the  cost  of  mu- 
nicipal lighting,  in  an  effort  to  ascertain  whether  the  rate  in  that  city  was 
too  high.  A  number  of  cities  have  asked  for  information  in  regard  to  the 
desirability  of  municipal  ownership  of  gas  lighting  plants.  The  chairman 
of  a  commission  in  one  city  wrote  for  references  concerning  rural  credits,  in 
the  form  of  agricultural  banks,  and  also  as  to  industrial  loans,  in  an  effort  to 
dodge  the  problem  of  the  loan  shark.  A  high  school  principal  from  a  North- 
em  Peninsula  city  asked  for  help  in  the  teaching  of  civics  without  a

text  book.  He  is  aiming  to  establish  a  very  practical  laboratory  for  the 
teaching  of  civics,  and  asked  for  references  and  material. 

Many  requests  come  to  the  Bureau  for  bibliographies  and  other  material 
for  debates,  while  the  requests  for  information  on  the  commission  and 
managerial  forms  of  city  government  are  continual.  This  is  particularly 
true  in  regard  to  villages,  where  the  request  frequently  comes  from  the 
coimty  attorney,  whose  duties  by  law  include  the  preparation  of  village 
charters. 

At  present  the  Bureau  has  only  temporary  quarters  in  an  upper  room 
in  the  Law  Building.  It  can  hardly  be  considered  as  more  than  under  way, 
though  an  impressive  beginning  has  already  been  made.  A  great  deal  of 
material  has  been  collected  and  filed.  Bibliographies  have  been  prepared  on 
many  important  municipal  problems.  All  out-of-the-way  information,  ob- 
tained by  clipping  periodicals,  has  been  filed  in  various  indexes,  using  a  sys- 
tem of  headings  employed  by  most  bureaus  of  this  character.  A  large  num- 
ber of  newspapers  are  also  clipped  every  day,  and  the  material  filed  regu- 
larly. The  information  obtained  this  way,  particularly  in  cities  where  the 
question  of  charter  reform  is  being  debated  from  day  to  day,  will  prove 
exceedingly  valuable  when  the  same  problem  is  attacked  in  other  places. 

The  League  of  Michigan  Municipalities  was  formed  for  the  purpose 
of  studying  in  a  practical  way  the  various  problems  with  which  the  Bureau 
has  identified  itself.  The  League  itself  had  provided  for  a  reference  bureau 
similar  to  the  one  under  way  by  the  University,  but  to  date  has  done  nothing 
towards  its  establishment.  It  is  the  hope  of  Professor  Crane  that  the 
Bureau  will  be  of  use  to  this  organization. 

Many  other  imiversities  have  established  similar  bureaus,  notably  Har- 
vard, Wisconsin,  Indiana  and  Texas.  Michigan,  however,  is  the  first  univer- 
sity to  establish  courses  in  Municipal  Administration  in  connection  with  the 
Bureau. 

THE  CASE  METHOD  IN  LAW  SCHOOLS 

One  of  the  principal  functions  of  the  Carnegie  Foundation  for  the 
Advancement  of  Teaching  has  been  the  more  or  less  exhaustive  investiga- 
tions of  various  problems  in  university  administration.  The  results  of  these 
have  been  published  in  the  annual  Reports  and  Bulletins  of  the  Foundation, 
While  the  annual  Reports  have  usually  given  a  resume  of  the  work  of  the 
Foundation  for  the  year,  and  have  discussed  in  each  issue  several  problems 
of  particular  interest  to  the  administrators  of  the  universities  included  with- 
in the  Foundation,  there  have  also  been  issued  a  number  of  special  Bulletins 
on  particular  investigations  undertaken  by  the  Foundation,  such  as  those  on 
the  preparation  of  a  uniform  system  of  financial  reporting  for  universities, 
and  an  investigation  of  the  educational  system  of  the  State  of  Vermont. 

A  few  years  ago  Dr.  Abraham  Flexner's  reports  on  The  Status  of  Medi- 
cal Education  in  the  United  States  and  Europe  created  widespread  interest, 
and  resulted  in  an  immediate  eflfort  to  improve  the  general  level  of  medical 
education  in  the  United  States.

348  THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS  [April 

Similarly,  an  investigation  of  law  schools  has  been  undertaken  by  the 
Foundation.  The  first  result  is  the  eighth  bulletin,  just  issued,  which  deals 
with  a  topic  of  great  interest  to  the  legal  profession,  the  value  of  the  case 
method  of  teaching  law.  While  the  University,  in  common  with  other  law 
schools,  is  mentioned  for  the  most  part  only  in  casual  references,  they  are 
all  commendatory.  The  Bulletin  considers  the  system  highly  successful 
in  practice,  but  endangered  by  the  increasing  size  of  classes.  Supple- 
mentary lecture  courses  before  and  after  the  case  work  would  increase  both 
the  student's  understanding  of  the  law  and  the  professor's  contribution  to 
legal  scholarship.  To  this  end  a  lengthening  of  the  law  course  to  four  years 
is  recommended. 

The  Bulletin,  which  is  entitled  "The  Common  Law  and  the  Case  Method 
in  American  University  Law  Schools,"  is  the  work  of  Professor  Josef  Red- 
lich,  of  the  University  of  Vienna,  who  made  a  special  visit  to  the  United 
States  to  prepare  it.  A  distinguished  teacher  of  law,  he  is  best  known  in 
this  country  by  his  works  on  "Local  Government  in  England"  and  the  "Pro- 
cedure of  the  House  of  Commons."  He  finds  legal  education  much  more 
highly  developed  here  than  in  England,  and  speaks  in  the  highest  terms  of 
American  schools  and  individuals  with  whom  he  came  in  contact.  Linking 
the  case  method  on  one  side  with  Eliot's  reform  of  the  American  college, 
and  on  the  other  side  with  the  unsystematic  and  transitional  condition  of  the 
law  in  this  country,  he  finds  that  it  has  proved  itself  eminently  successful  in 
the  training  of  practitioners.  This  success  is  partly  accotmted  for  by  the 
favorable  conditions  under  which  the  method  has  been  carried  in  the  past. 
In  this  connection  the  increasing  size  of  the  classes  constitutes  an  especial 
element  of  danger.  He  finds  the  essential  reason  for  its  success,  however, 
in  the  fact  that  Anglo-American  law  is  still  almost  entirely  a  law  of  adjudi- 
cated cases,  and  that  accordingly  the  principal  task  which  the  practitioner, 
under  existing  conditions,  has  to  perform,  is  to  discover  from  these  scat- 
tered sources  what  the  law  actually  is.  The  older  lecture  and  text-book 
schools,  while  far  superior  to  the  original  unsystematic  training  in  law  offices, 
taught  the  law  as  they  imagined  it  to  be,  rather  than  exercised  the  student 
in  finding  it  out  for  himself.  The  case  method  schools,  on  the  other  hand, 
by  training  the  student's  reasoning  power,  as  they  have  more  and  more 
tended  to  do,  render  a  service  that  will  be  of  more  practical  assistance  to 
him  in  his  future  profession. 

While  fully  recognizing  the  value  of  the  case  method.  Professor  Redlich 
suggests,  none  the  less,  that  an  exaggerated  importance  may  be  attached  to 
it.  In  particular  he  takes  direct  issue  with  those  who  would  banish  from  the 
curriculum  any  form  of  lecture  or  other  dogmatic  instruction.  Both  at  the 
beginning  and  at  the  end  of  the  curriculum  he  recommends  lecture  courses, 
covering  phases  of  legal  instruction  which  can  be  satisfactorily  imparted  in 
no  other  way.  These  courses,  the  scope  of  which  he  explains  in  detail,  are 
of  a  sort  to  benefit  the  future  practitioner  by  assisting  him  to  coordinate  the 
necessarily  scattered  information  to  which  the  analytic  method  leads;  and 
also  they  would  contribute  to  the  growing  movement  in  favor  of  legal  re- 
form in  the  United  States.    Opportunity  would  thus  be  afforded  to  the  stu-

dents  to  become  acquainted  with  the  law  of  other  countries,  with  the  gen- 
eral principles  that  underlie  all  law,  and  with  the  concrete  suggestions  to- 
ward reform  that  have  already  been  made  in  this  country.  Opportunity 
would  thus  also  be  afforded  to  the  instructors  to  prepare,  in  connection  with 
these  lectures,  extended  works  in  the  field  of  legal  scholarship.  In  order  to 
make  room  for  these  additions,  he  recommends  the  lengthening  of  the  already 
overburdened  law  course  to  four  years,  with  a  corresponding  diminution  of 
the  time  required  to  be  spent  in  college. 

In  conclusion,  Professor  Redlich  discusses  the  grounds  upon  which  the 
case  method  may  be  considered  genuinely  scientific,  finding  these  not  in  the 
specious  analogy  between  law  and  the  physical  sciences,  but  in  the  complete 
adaptation  of  this  method  to  the  purpose  and  subject-matter  of  legal  instruc- 
tion in  this  country.  In  a  sketch  of  the  development  of  law  and  legal  in- 
struction on  the  European  continent,  he  shows  how  advance  has  always  been 
accompanfed  by  a  return  to  the  sources,  and  points  out  that  it  is  to  the 
American  university  law  school,  rather  than  to  England,  that  the  common 
law  must  look  for  a  remodeling  comparable  to  that  which  the  similarly  un- 
developed law  of  Rome  obtained  at  the  hands  of  Italian,  French,  and  Ger- 
man scholars.  A  brief  account  of  the  development  of  private  legal  instruc- 
tion in  modern  Germany  and  Austria  is  added,  to  show  that  unscientific  legal 
instruction  in  American  schools  outside  of  the  universities  need  not  be  re- 
garded as  a  menace  by  these  latter.

350  THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS  [April 

A  FOUR-YEAR  COURSE  IN  LAW 

It  may  well  be  doubted  whether  education  during  the  last  two  decades 
has  made  as  rapid  and  progressive  development,  in  respect  to  methods, 
policies  and  results  aimed  for,  in  any  other  field  as  in  that  of  the  law  school. 

In  the  February,  1914,  number  of  The  Ai^umnus,  devoted  in  part  to  the 
Michigan  Law  School,  some  account  was  given  of  the  large  number  of  new 
courses  which  had  been  added  recently  to  the  curriculum.  The  courses  com- 
mented upon  in  that  discussion,  besides  one  advanced  course  in  procedure, 
deal  mainly  with  what  may  be  called  extra-legal  or  at  least  extra-professional 
subjects,  such  as  the  History  of  English  Law,  the  Philosophy  of  Law  and 
advanced  courses  in  Roman  Law  and  Jurisprudence.  Prior  to  this  period 
of  expansion  in  the  law  curriculum  many  other  additions  had  been  made  to 
the  list  of  subjects  covered  in  the  law  schools  of  the  country  at  the  time  the 
University  of  Michigan  Law  School  was  organized,  in  1859.  The  result  of 
these  additions  has  been  to  make  the  modern  curriculum  many  times  as  ex- 
tensive as  those  offered  in  the  law  schools  of  fifty  or  even  forty  years  ago. 
It  is  indeed  a  far  cry  from  the  old  law  course  of  two  years,  of  six  months 
each,  to  the  present  crowded  course  of  three  years  of  nine  months  each.  But 
even  these  figures  tell  only  part  of  the  story,  for  in  the  old  days  the  law,  so 
far  as  it  was  taught  at  all,  was  treated  here  and  in  most  other  schools  of 
the  period  in  one  year,  the  lectures  of  the  junior  year,  as  it  was  called,  being 
repeated  in  the  senior  year.  Today  no  thought  or  effort  is  spared  to 
economize  every  moment  of  time  of  the  three  years  by  carefully  correlating 
the  various  topics  of  the  curriculum  and  by  cutting  out,  so  far  as  possible, 
repetitions  of  even  minute  portions  of  the  legal  field. 

But  despite  all  that  law  faculties  have  been  able  to  do  in  their  efforts 
to  economize  in  time  it  long  since  ceased  to  be  possible  to  cover  the  whole 
field  of  taught  law  in  three  years,  and  in  consequence  the  best  law  schools 
have  been  forced  to  adopt  the  elective  principle  for  all  but  the  fundamental 
topics  in  the  law.  Indeed  in  some  law  schools  all  the  courses  except  those 
treated  in  the  first  year  are  elective.  In  the  meantime  pressure  for  more 
time  for  instruction  has  developed  with  accelerating  rapidity  from  another 
direction.  That  is  to  say,  besides  the  recent  development  of  substantially  new 
fields  of  law,  such  for  example  as  administrative  law  and  other  subjects  in 
public  law,  the  whole  field  of  Anglo-American  law  has  expanded  with  g^eat 
rapidity  in  response  to  changes  in  modem  industrial  and  social  life.  Add  to 
these  causes  of  pressure  for  more  time,  the  important  facts  that  modem 
methods  of  legal  education  require  more  time  than  the  old  methods,  and 
finally  that  the  American  bar,  and  indeed  the  entire  thoughtful  American 
public,  is  requiring  more  thorough  training  and  instmction  of  its  lawyers — 
add  these  facts,  I  say,  and  the  reader  will  appreciate  the  quandary  in  which 
the  law  faculty  of  today  finds  itself. 

The  problem  thus  suggested  may  be  presented  in  a  more  concrete  way 
with  reference  to  the  Law  School  of  this  University.  If  a  student  entering 
this  Law  School  next  fall  were  to  take  in  course  all  of  the  work  of  a  strictly 
professional  character  now  offered,  at  the  maximum  rate  allowed  under  our

rules,  it  would  require  his  presence  here  for  nearly  five  university  years. 
Add  to  these  subjects  a  few  specialties  treated  mainly  t^  means  of  lectures, 
such  as  Copyright  and  Trademark  Law  and  Admiralty  Law,  and  it  would 
take  him  at  least  five  full  years  to  cover  the  ground.  In  addition  to  this 
strictly  professional  work  our  Law  School  is  now  oflfering  a  full  year  of 
extra-legal  subjects  of  the  type  referred  to  above,  and  let  it  be  said  most 
emphatically  that  these  extra-legal  subjects  are  by  no  means  academic  frills. 
The  great  majority  at  least  of  the  nwst  thoughtful  law  teachers  of  America 
have  felt  strongly  the  need  of  university  work  of  this  type  for  the  prospective 
lawyer.  As  long  ago  as  1893  the  committee  on  Legal  Education  of  the 
•  American  Bar  Association  presented  an  admirable  report  signed  by  several 
of  the  most  distinguished  lawyers  of  the  country,  in  which  it  was  pointed 
out  that  a  great  defect  in  our  legal  training  was  the  lack  of  instruction  in 
jurisprudence,  in  legal  philosophy  and  in  comparative  law,  and  many  of  the 
imperfections  in  the  administration  and  develc^ment  of  Anglo-American 
law  were  traced  to  this  lack. 

For  several  years  Michigan  and  some  of  the  other  strong  law  schools 
of  the  country  have  been  offering  such  subjects  as  optional  work.  But  few 
students  have  availed  themselves  of  these  courses  mainly  because  of  the 
pressure  for  time.  Naturally  if  some  subjects  must  be  omitted,  the  average 
practical  American  would  omit  those  which  he  could  not  see  were  directly 
connected  with  the  bread  and  butter  aspects  of  his  profession.  Thus  it 
has  resulted  that,  in  the  main,  work  of  this  character  has  been  taken  only 
by  a  few  advanced  students  remaining  in  the  law  schools  for  a  fourth  year 
of  work. 

And  now  comes  the  report  upon  methods  of  instruction  in  American 
law  schools  prepared  for  the  Carnegie  Foundation  for  the  Advancement  of 
Teaching  by  Professor  Doctor  Josef  Redlich,  of  the  faculty  of  law  and 
political  science  in  the  University  of  Vienna,  a  distinguished  lawyer  and 
scholar,  the  author  of  the  best  books  in  the  English  or  any  other  language 
on  Local  Government  in  England  and  the  Procedure  of  the  House  of  Com- 
mons. Professor  Redlich,  who  had  already  made  an  extended  visit  to  this 
country  and  who  is  someNvhat  familiar  with  our  law  and  its  administration, 
made  a  special  trip  to  the  United  States  upon  the  invitation  of  the  Founda- 
tion in  191 3.  While  in  this  coimtry  he  visited  this  Law  School  and  seven 
or  eight  others.  He  conferred  not  only  with  law  teachers,  but  with  judges 
and  lawyers  of  the  highest  standing,  and  after  the  most  careful  examina- 
tion of  the  subject  he  has  prepared  an  exhaustive,  able  and  most  suggestive 
report  upon  the  subject  he  was  asked  to  study.  In  the  course  of  this  report 
he  remarks,  "Indeed  the  subdivision  of  the  three  original  departments  of 
the  law — common  law,  equity  and  procedure — ^has  now  been  pushed  so  far 
and  the  number  of  specialized  courses  has  thereby  become  so  great  that 
three  years  appear  entirely  too  short  for  a  legal  education  pursued  with 
the  earnestness  and  thoroughness  which  characterize  the  leading  university 
schools  of  America  at  present." 

This  then  is  the  situation  which  confronts  us  at  Michigan:  we  are 
already  offering  about  six  years  of  legal  instruction,  and  with  the  three

352  THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS  [April 

years'  period  of  study  our  students  can  have  the  benefit  of  only  one-half  of 
the  courses.  Serious  minded  students,  as  well  as  the  Faculty,  are  feeling 
keenly  the  disadvantages  of  this  situation.  They  are  eagerly  pressing  to  get 
all  the  work  permissible  under  the  rules  and  many  of  them  are  staying  here 
for  one  or  more  summer  sessions  of  law  work  in  order  to  cover  a  few  of 
the  most  important  topics  which  otherwise  they  would  be  obliged  to  miss. 
The  Faculty  has  endeavored  to  meet  the  situation  in  a  measure  by  adding, 
as  it  did  a  few  years  ago  the  optional  fourth  year.  But  obviously  this  is  at 
best  but  a  partial  solution  and  tihat  for  only  a  very  few  students.  What  are 
we  to  do  about  it  ?  The  whole  logic  of  the  situation  calls  for  a  compulsory 
fourth  year.  That  would  do  much  to  ease  the  strain.  While  even  then  the 
student  would  traverse  little  if  any  more  than  two-thirds  of  the  whole  field 
covered  in  the  school,  still  he  could  then  take  perhaps  all  of  the  more  im- 
portant general  legal  subjects  and  he  would  have  acquired  such  thorough 
training  in  legal  analysis  and  thought  as  to  pretty  nearly  insure  a  thoughtful 
and  studious  attitude  throughout  his  professional  career  which  would  enable 
and  lead  him  to  do  much  with  the  remaining  third  of  the  course  which  he 
had  not  taken  in  the  law  school. 

It  is  quite  certain  that  most,  if  not  all  of  our  Faculty  believe  that  we 
should  adopt  this  program  in  the  near,  if  not  in  the  immediate  future.  We 
believe  that  conditions  at  the  bar  as  well  as  in  the  law  school  call  for  this 
more  extensive  and  thorough  training.  But  the  difficulties  in  the  way  of 
accomplishing  the  desired  results  are  great.  It  is  recognized,  of  course,  that 
it  is  highly  desirable  that  the  lawyer  begin  the  practice  of  his  profession 
while  he  is  still  plastic  and  adaptable  and  that  for  urgent  social  and  economic 
reasons  he  begin  to  earn  his  own  living  and  to  become  independent  at  an 
early  age.  Perhaps  these  objections  can  be  met  in  part  by  some  telescoping 
of  the  college  and  law  school  courses,  but  obstacles  of  a  more  practical 
nature  would  yet  remain  to  be  surmounted.  Unless  a  number  of  other 
strong  law  schools  should  make  the  move  at  about  the  same  time  tliat  Mich- 
igan makes  it,  we  would  imdoubtedly  suffer  seriously  in  the  matter  of  at- 
tendance. And  while  attendance  is  not  the  all  important  thing  by  any  man- 
ner of  means,  still  we  do  not  want  to.  lose  our  constituency  or  to  cut  into  it 
too  deeply,  \\yiile  there  has  been  g^eat  advance  in  the  matter  of  standards 
of  admission  to  the  bar  those  standards  are  still  altogether  too  low.  Not 
only  is  the  law  in  a  great  majority  of  our  states  satisfied  by  the  study  of 
law  for  three  years,  but  also  no  state  in  the  country  reqmres  even  a  moment 
of  instruction  in  any  law  school.  This  is  in  sad  contrast  to  the  conditions  in 
the  medical  profession,  which  requires  study  in  a  good  medical  school  in 
practically  every  state  in  the  country,  and  to  the  conditions  prevailing  in 
most  of  the  great  European  countries,  which  with  sound  judgment  require 
institutional  training  in  law  before  the  candidate  can  take  his  examination 
for  admission  to  practice. 

In  conclusion  we  may  say  to  our  alumni  now  only  that  the  Faculty  is 
earnestly  studying  the  problem.  It  has  raised  a  committee  of  five  to  investi- 
gate and  report  to  the  Faculty  at  a  meeting  to  be  held  in  the  near  future. 
What  that  report  will  be  and  how  the  Faculty  and  the  Regents  will  receive 
it  remains  to  be  seen.  H.  M.  Bates,  '90.

I9I5]  RICHARD  HUDSON.  71  353 

TWO  MEMORIALS  PRESENTED  TO  THE 
UNIVERSITY  SENATE  MARCH  22, 1915 

RICHARD  HUDSON,  7 1 

Our  university  circle  has  been  recently  called  to  mourn  the  loss  of  one 
of  its  oldest  and  best  known  members.  A  familiar  figure  upon  the  Campus 
for  more  than  thirty  years,  he  left  us  in  early  winter  for  the  South,  ap- 
parently in  excellent  health.  We  find  it  difficult  to  realize  that  he  has  passed, 
so  soon,  forever  from  our  mortal  sight.  The  University  Senate  is  now  for- 
mally stmunoned  to  take  note  of  this  sad  event  and  to  spread  upon  its  rec- 
ords a  brief  memorial  of  his  life  and  services. 

Richard  Hudson,  son  of  Richard  and  Elizabeth  (Lowthian)  Hudson, 
was  bom  at  Gateshead,  England,  a  suburb  of  New  Castle-on-Tyne,  Septem- 
ber 17,  1845.  He  was  the  oldest  of  seven  children,  all  of  whom  reached 
maturity  and  four  of  whom  survive  him.  When  the  young  Richard  was 
ten,  business  straits  led  the  family  to  migrate  to  Canada,  where  they  made 
their  home  for  some  years  at  Hamilton,  Ontario.  When  he  was  about  four- 
teen, and  just  entering  the  high  school,  it  seemed  best  for  him  to  leave 
school  and  take  a  hand  in  the  maintenance  of  the  family.  He  accordingly 
entered  the  local  telegraph  offitce  to  learn  the  business,  meantime  earning  a 
pittance  as  messenger  boy.  He  made  rapid  progress  and  was  soon  able  to 
handle  the  keys  so  well  that  he  was  made  night-operator.  A  year  or  two 
later  he  was  promoted  to  a  more  responsible  position  in  the  service  at  Pon- 
tiac,  Michigan,  and  hither  also  about  the  same  time  came  the  family  to  live. 
In  lieu  of  school  advantages,  he  now  devoted  all  his  spare  time  to  reading 
and  study. 

His  parents  had  been  Wesleyans  in  England,  and  were  now  connected 
with  the  Methodist  Episcopal  Church  at  Pontiac.  The  son  entered  ardently 
into  the  work  of  the  church  and  was  soon  marked  as  a  promising  candidate 
for  the  ministry.  At  nineteen  years  of  age  he  was  persuaded  to  give  up  his 
position  in  the  telegraph  office  and  to  enter  the  Michigan  Conference.  He 
was  assigned  to  a  small  charge  near  his  home;  but  his  first  year's  experi- 
ence convinced  him  that  if  he  was  to  have  a  career  in  the  church,  he  ought 
to  seek  a  university  education.  He  accordingly  entered  the  Pontiac  High 
School ;  at  the  end  of  two  years  he  was  able  to  pass  the  entrance  examina- 
tions at  this  University,  and  in  the  fall  of  1867  he  entered  as  a  freshman 
at  the  age  of  twenty-two.  He  easily  took  a  leading  place  in  his  class,  which 
he  maintained  throughout  the  course,  though  somewhat  hampered  by  the 
necessity  of  earning  his  way. 

After  his  graduation  in  1871,  he  again  entered  the  Michigan  Confer- 
ence and  held  various  charges  for  the  next  three  years.  His  eager  and  in- 
quiring mind  now  sought  a  broader  outlook  upon  the  world,  and  he  went 
abroad  for  travel  and  further  study.  He  heard  some  of  the  most  eminent 
theologians  at  the  German  universities,  and  visited  Southern  Europe  and 
the  Holy  Land.  In  the  summer  of  1876  he  returned  to  Michigan  and  re- 
sumed preaching.    His  last  charge  was  the  responsible  one  at  Adrian,  where

he  was  warmly  received  and  where  he  won  influential  friends.  But  he  now 
began  to  be  oppressed  with  sore  doubts  as  to  whether  he  had  found  his  true 
life-work.  After  full  consultation  with  trusted  friends  and  after  much  de- 
liberation, he  declined  re-appointment  and  entered  the  University  Law 
School.  At  the  end  of  a  year  an  assistant  professorship  of  history  was  to 
be  filled  in  the  University,  and  he  was  chosen  for  the  place.  He  entered 
upon  the  work  with  zest,  and  in  this  field  found  his  true  sphere.  He  was  in 
charge  of  the  department  from  1885  to  1888,  and  in  the  latter  year  this  posi- 
tion was  made  permanent.  In  1897  he  was  made  Dean  of  the  Department 
of  Literature,  Science,  and  the  Arts,  and  for  the  next  ten  years  discharged 
with  entire  fidelity  the  duties  of  that  office.  In  1907  he  asked  to  be  relieved 
of  these  heavy  administrative  labors,  and  for  the  next  four  years  devoted 
himself  wholly  to  lecturing  and  teaching.  In  191 1  he  was  made  Professor 
Emeritus.  His  remaining  years  were  given  to  travel,  chiefly  in  the  Old 
World.  One  winter  was  spent  on  the  Pacific  Coast  and  the  past  winter  in 
Florida.  About  the  middle  of  February  he  developed  some  throat  trouble, 
and  went  to  New  York  City  to  consult  a  specialist.  He  was  almost  immedi- 
ately stricken  with  pneumonia  and  died  on  the  22nd  of  the  month.  His 
body  rests  by  the  side  of  his  two  brothers  in  Greenwood  Cemetery,  Detroit. 

As  a  teacher.  Professor  Hudson's  strength  showed  especially  in  the 
formal  lecture.  It  is  probable  that  his  pulpit  experience  contributed  some- 
thing to  this  result.  He  particularly  excelled  in  supplying  his  hearers  with 
a  perfectly  articulated  organization  of  the  matter  involved.  His  manner  of 
statement  was  finely  poised,  strong  though  temperate,  and  so  clear  as  to 
insure  comprehension  however  complex  the  subject-matter.  He  was  a  thor- 
ough student ;  but  his  interest  in  details  was  largely  confined  to  their  bearing 
on  the  main  processes  of  causation.  His  lectures  might  perhaps  have  been 
increased  in  attractiveness  by  a  more  liberal  use  of  narrative ;  but,  as  illum- 
inating outlines  of  the  history  of  the  period  under  consideration,  they  could 
hardly  have  been  improved.  Many  tributes  in  this  vein  have  been  given  by 
those  who  sat  under  his  instruction.  And  when  we  remember  the  thousands 
of  young  and  receptive  minds  who  enjoyed  this  privilege  throughout  his 
long  service  here,  we  are  impressed  with  the  immense  importance  of  his 
exalted  calling.  The  gospel  ministry  which  had  engrossed  his  earlier  years 
with  its  raptures  and  moral  crusades  gradually  gave  way  in  his  aflfections 
to  the  ministry  of  learning,  where  in  the  academic  quiet  of  the  study  and 
the  class-room  his  mind  and  spirit  breathed  a  more  congenial  air.  The 
change  meant  no  lowering  of  standards.  To  the  last  he  continued  to  show 
in  a  rare  degree  the  virtues  which  Christianity  is  wont  to  claim  as  peculiarly 
its  own. 

One  of  the  finest  and  rarest  traits  of  his  character — often  remarked  by 
those  who  knew  him  best — was  his  unwillingness  to  cherish  resentments.  He 
was  sometimes  misunderstood,  sometimes  upbraided ;  but  he  kept  his  temper, 
and  he  refused  to  count  any  man  his  enemy.  Open  and  fair-minded  in  con- 
troversy, he  always  declined  to  take  an  unfair  advantage  of  his  adversary. 
He  had  absolute  confidence  in  moral  forces  and  bided  his  time.  This  trait 
won  for  him  general  respect  and  confidence.

He  was  temperamentally  cautious,  though  not  timid.  One  of  his  most 
intimate  friends  once  said  of  him  very  justly,  "Open-minded  conservatism 
is  probably  his  most  strongly  marked  intellectual  characteristic."  This  espe- 
cially fitted  him  to  deal  wisely  with  the  many  difficult  historical  problems 
that  came  in  his  way  as  a  teacher,  problems  that  have  taxed  the  most  pene-

trating  and  subtle  minds.    This  trait  also  especially  fitted  hini  for  carrying 
large  administrative  responsibilities. 

On  the  occasion  of  his  retirement  in  191 1,  his  colleagues  of  the  Depart- 
ment of  History  entertained  him,  together  with  a  few  of  his  old  friends,  at 
dinner.  In  a  very  characteristic  response  to  the  tributes  paid  him  by  those 
present,  taking  for  his  theme  "The  Autumn  of  Life,"  he  spoke  feelingly  and 
most  touchingly  of  his  ideals  for  the  declining  years  that  awaited  him.  There

was  a  tone  of  serenity,  and  courage,  and  good  cheer  about  it  all  which  those 
who  heard  him  can  never  forget.  But  alas  for  us!  the  autumn  of  his  life 
has  descended  all  too  swiftly  to  its  close.  The  full  and  silent  tide  moves  sea- 
ward and  bears  him  afar.

By  request  of  the  President  of  the  University,  a  committee  of  the  Fac- 
ulty of  the  School  of  Medicine  and  Surgery  was  appointed  to  prepare 
and  read  before  the  University  Senate,  and  the  Medical  Faculty,  a  memorial 
notice  of  the  life  and  character  of  the  late  Dr.  W.  F.  Breakey,  one  who  so 
admirably  discharged  his  duties  as  a  citizen  of  the  state  and  nation,  and 
as  a  loyal  alumnus  of  the  University. 

William  Fleming  Breakey,  son  of  Isaiah  Breakey  and  Polly  Ann 
(Lyon)  Breakey,  was  born  at  Bethel,  Sullivan  County,  New  Yorkj  Septem- 
ber lo,  1835.  His  father,  Isaiah  Breakey,  came  to  this  country  with  his 
parents  from  the  north  of  Ireland  when  he  was  twenty  years  of  age.  On 
this  side  of  the  water  there  was  some  intermingling  of  Huguenot  Wood.  His 
mother's  family  came  from  New  England,  the  maternal  branch,  the  Holmes, 
claiming  Mayflower  descent.  Dr.  Breakey  commenced  his  medical  studies 
in  1856,  attending  the  Albany  Medical  College  for  one  year,  after  which  he 
completed  his  course  in  the  Department  of  Medicine  and  Surgery  of  the 
University  of  Michigan,  securing  his  medical  degree  in  1859.  He  com- 
menced private  practice  at  Whitmore  Lake,  Michigan,  but,  after  the  battle 
of  Shiloh  in  1862,  when,  owing  to  the  lack  of  medical  officers,  the  Governor 
of  the  State  called  for  volunteer  surgeons  to  care  for  the  wounded.  Dr. 
Breakey  promptly  responded,  rendering  valuable  service  until  June  18,  1862, 
when  he  was  commissioned  First  Assistant  Surgeon  of  the  Sixteenth  Mich- 
igan Volunteer  Infantry,  reporting  for  duty  at  Harrison's  Landing,  James 
River.  During  September  and  October,  1862,  he  was  on  duty  at  the  Offi- 
cers' Hospital,  Washington,  D.  C.  Shortly  after  the  second  battle  of  Bull 
Run,  he  fell  ill,  and  remained  with  a  camp  of  invalids  and  recruits  at  Ar- 
lington, Va.,  of  which  he  had  charge. 

In  January,  1863,  he  was  transferred  for  duty  to  the  Hospital  at  Alex- 
andria, Va.  Rejoining  his  regiment  in  April  at  Rappahannock  Station,  Va., 
he  was  first  detailed  as  Chief  Medical  Officer  of  the  Twentieth  Maine  Volun- 
teer Infantry,  and  later  took  charge  of  a  Division  Smallpox  Hospital.  He 
next  saw  service  with  the  Artillery  of  the  Fifth  Corps  in  medical  charge 
of  Battery  I,  Fifth  U.  S.  Artillery,  and  of  Bigelow's  Ninth  Massachusetts 
Battery.     His  duties  remained  unchanged  until  the  battle  of  Gettysburg,

July,  1863,  after  which  he  took  charge  of  a  division  of  the  Letterman  Field 
Hospital  at  Gettysburg,  where  he  treated  such  of  the  seriously  wounded  as 
were  unfitted  for  further  transportation.  During  the  battle  of  Gettysburg 
being  hastily  summoned  after  dark  to  attend  a  case  of  secondary  hemorrhage, 
he  injured  his  left  femur  by  collision  with  an  obstacle.  This  was  followed 
by  serious  results,  so  incapacitating  him  from  further  active  service  that  he 
resigned  his  commission  in  April,  1864,  being  then  honorably  discharged 
from  the  service,  although,  having  rejoined  his  regiment  in  Michigan  dur- 
ing the  previous  January,  he  had  reinlisted  hoping  that  he  would  recover 
from  his  injury.  This  expectation  was  never  realized,  the  bone  trouble 
steadily  becoming  worse,  a  constant  source  of  distress  and  ill  health  until 
his  death  on  February  13th,  1915. 

His  first  official  connection  with  the  University  was  that  of  Prosector 
of  Surgery,  and  Associate  Demonstrator  of  Anatomy  during  the  year 
1868-69.  To  him  belongs  the  credit  of  securing  the  establishment  of  a 
clinic  for  Diseases  of  the  Skin  in  this  Medical  School  in  1891,  which  was 
due  to  his  untiring  efforts.  Previously,  such  cases  were  treated  by  members 
of  the  Faculty,  perforce,  as  it  were.  When  entering  the  hospital  for  other 
purposes  their  skin  lesions  were  incidentally  treated,  but  no  systematic 
didactic  instruction  was  given.  Dr.  Breakey's  appointment  as  Lecturer  on 
Dermatology  and  Syphilology  in  charge  of  the  appropriate  clinic,  dates  from 
1901,  and  since  1905  he  served  as  Clinical  Professor  of  these  branches  until 
his  resignation  in  1912. 

He  served  as  Health  Officer  of  Ann  Arbor  for  ten  years  and  as  Exam- 
ining Surgeon  for  the  Local  U.  S.  Board  of  Pension  Examiners  for  over 
thirty  years.  A  member  of  many  medical  societies,  as  the  American  Medical 
Association,  the  American  Dermatological  Association,  the  Michigan  State 
Medical  Society,  of  which  he  was  President  in  1904,  the  Northern  Tri-State 
Medical  Society,  and  the  Washtenaw  County  Medical  Society,  his  profes- 
sional and  other  interests  were  multifarious.  He  took  an  active  interest  in 
the  affairs  of  one  of  the  local  banks,  and  in  those  of  the  Grand  Army  of  the 
Republic  and  in  the  M.  O.  O.  L.  L. 

He  first  married  on  June  28th,  1862,  Miss  Jennie  E.  Stevens,  of  Whit- 
more  Lake,  by  whom  he  had  two  children  who  both  survive  him,  Mrs.  E. 
D.  Adams,  of  Stanford  University,  California,  and  Dr.  James  F.  Breakey,  of 
Ann  Arbor.  On  April  28th,  1882,  he  married  Miss  M.  Louise  Renville,  of 
Brooklyn,  N.  Y.,  who  survives  him. 

He  is  the  author  of  many  articles  on  medical,  scientific,  and  other 
subjects,  among  which  the  most  noteworthy  are:  "The  Conservative  Value 
of  the  Artificial  Induction  of  Premature  Labor,"  Michigan  State  Medical 
Society,  1877 ;  "Ulcerative  Perforation  of  Stomach,"  1887 1  "Some  Medical 
Legal  Questions  of  Smallpox,"  1889;  "Mutual  Obligations  and  Responsi- 
bilities of  the  Physician  and  the  People  in  Promoting  Medical  Science,"  1890 ; 
"Needs  for  Better  Study  of  Diseases  of  the  Skin,"  1901 ;  "The  Light  Cure 
in  Lupus," — Physician  and  Surgeon,  1901 ;  "A  Case  of  Mycosis  Fungoides," 
Journal  Cutaneous  and  G.  U.  Diseases,  1901 ;  "Conditions  That  Influenced

From  Cattle,"  Jour.  Cut.  Diseases. 

Your  committee  desires  to  call  attention  to  certain  admirable  charac- 
teristics of  Dr.  Breakey,  commending  them  as  an  example  to  be  followed 
by  the  younger  members  of  the  medical  profession. 

To  those  who  knew  him  the  following  statements  are  superfluous,  but 
we  wish  to  place  on  record  some  adequate  estimate  of  the  esteem  in  which 
he  was  held  by  all  those  who  knew  him.  His  was  a  most  lovable  disposition. 
He  never  harshly  criticised  others.  He  never  spoke  ill  of  others,  because  he 
never  thought  evil  of  them.  If  he  could  not  honestly  say  pleasant  things,  he 
said  nothing.  His  kindly,  sympathetic  manner  won  the  confidence  of  his 
patients.  His  slow,  deliberate  manner  when  listening  to  a  patient  gave  as- 
surance that  the  case  would  be  carefully  weighed.  He  was  never  too  hur- 
ried to  consider  all  sides  of  the  problem.  The  kindly,  but  humorous  way 
he  at  times  received  the  complaints  of  his  patients,  even  when  he  was  more 
ill  than  they,  should  teach  us  all  a  lesson.  Towards  the  last  he  was  ren- 
dered intensely  uncomfortable,  when  not  actually  suffering  acutely  by  com- 
plications, but  it  was  rare  for  him  to  be  other  than  cheery  and  uncom- 
plaining. He  was  an  admirable  example  of  an  honest,  upright  Christian 
gentleman.

I9I5]  THE  COMMITTEE  ON  STUDENT  AFFAIRS  359 

REPORT  OF  THE  COMMITTEE  ON  STU- 
DENT AFFAIRS  FOR  1914-1915 

To  the  Senate  of  the  University  of  Michigan: — 

As  Chairman  of  your  Committee  on  Student  Affairs*  I  have  the  honor 
herewith  to  present  the  annual  report  of  the  Committee.  This  report  covers 
the  activities  and  interests  of  the  Committee  since  the  meeting  of  the  Senate 
on  March  30th,  1914,  when  the  last  report  was  presented. 

The  general  work  of  the  Committee  has  been  conducted  without  any 
difficulties.  No  special  new  business  has  arisen  with  the  single  exception 
of  the  matter  of  the  Junior  Hop,  which  will  be  discussed  in  later  para- 
graphs. Only  six  new  societies  have  sought  recognition,  the  Ironwood  Club, 
Bethany  Circle,  the  Galens,  the  T  Square  Club,  the  Socialism  Study  Club 
and  the  Michigan  Chapter  of  the  Intercollegiate  Prohibition  Association, 
and  in  each  instance  the  desired  recognition  was  granted  without  hesitation. 
Pylon,  for  years  a  local  house-club  of  excellent  standing,  has  recently  be- 
come a  chapter  of  a  national  f ratemity^  being  installed  as  Delta  Deuteron 
of  Phi  Sigma  Kappa.  The  Assistants'  Zoological  Club  has  changed  its 
name  to  the  Natural  Science  Club.  The  annual  autumn  registration  of  the 
various  non-athletic  organizations,  giving  their  officers  and  addresses  for 
the  semester  or  year,  which  has  never  been  complete  or  in  any  way  very 
satisfactory,  was  allowed  to  lapse.  The  sometimes  useful  information, 
which  had  been  secured  in  that  way,  is  now  to  be  had,  and  to  be  had  early 
in  the  year,  in  very  large  part  through  the  Students'  Directory  or  through 
the  records  of  the  University  Auditor  and  the  Committee's  Scholarship  Sta- 
tistician, Professor  A.  G.  Hall,  so  that  it  seemed  wise  to  give  up  a  practice 
that  had  always  been  attended  with  considerable  difficulty  and  some  annoy- 
ance for  all  concerned. 

The  number  of  public  student  entertainments  of  all  sorts,  Kermesses, 
Band  Bounces,  Spot  Light  Vaudevilles,  Musical  Club  Delights,  Dramatic 
Thrillers  or  Splitters,  and  the  like  or  unlike,  has  been  somewhat  reduced,  as 
pared  with  a  year  ago,  although  this  statement  is  made  on  a  small  mar- 
gin. Also  in  the  opinion  of  the  Committee  there  has  been  a  better  distribu- 
tion of  the  dates  for  these  functions.  The  number  of  times  in  the  year 
when  the  Hill  Auditorium  can  be  nearly  filled,  if  not  even  crowded,  with 
student  audiences  may  well  make  one  reflect.  That  the  organizations  con- 
cerned were  never  better  off  financially  is  only  one  of  the  interesting  inci- 
dents. At  a  small,  uniform  admission  price  of  only  twenty-five  cents — enter- 
tainments at  this  price  being  common  and  being  known  as  "Fussers'  De- 
lights"— ^any  particular  treasury  may  be  replenished  with  comparatively  lit- 
tle eflfort  by  anywhere  from  six  hundred  to  one  thousand  dollars  net.  In 
some  instances  more  than  a  thousand  dollars  has  been  realized.  No  one,  I 
venture  to  say,  ever  foresaw,  when  the  Hill  Auditorium  was  in  prospect, 

♦The  members  of  this  committee  for  1914-T5  have  been  the  following:  Dean  Myra 
B.  Jordan  and  Professors  A.  A.  Stanley,  F.  N.  Scott,  Evans  Holbrook,  H.  C.  Sadler, 
L.  A.  Strauss,  C.  W.  Edmunds,  C.  B.  Vibbert,  A.  G.  Hall,  Secretary,  and  A.  H.  Lloyd, 
Chairman.

that  it  would  serve  the  life  of  the  University  in  exactly  this  way.  Some 
may  even  question  the  value  of  the  service,  regarding  it  as  only  an  added 
influence  for  excess  in  college  life  and  the  activities  thereof.  Again,  interest 
in  the  box-ofiice  may  bring  to  non-athletic  activities  the  same  dangers  that 
the  gate  receipts  have  brought  to  athletics.  But,  at  least,  modifying  these 
fears,  there  may  be  mentioned,  if  not  a  certain  reaction  against  college  life, 
of  which  some  of  the  students  themselves  have  been  talking  recently,  at  least 
an  excellent  spirit  of  co-operation  with  university  officials  in  the  control  of 
the  various  activities.  Bearing  on  such  co-operation,  there  is  the  fact  that 
for  several  years  there  has  been  noticeable,  and  frequently  remarked,  a 
great  improvement  in  the  quality  and  character  of  those  chosen  by  the  stu- 
dents to  lead  in  their  affairs.  I  suspect  that  the  better  selections  are  due  to 
better  methods  in  student  politics,  by  which  the  real  wishes  of  the  student 
body  have  found  freer  expression,  and  I  think  that  no  other  influence  has 
been  stronger  to  this  end  than  that  of  the  Michigan  Union. 

A  rather  serious  difficulty  attending  the  arrangements  for  the  various 
student  entertainments,  both  as  to  consent  to  them  and  as  to  assignment  of 
dates,  has  been  the  inability  to  know  ahead  what  organizations  may  be  wish- 
ing to  appear  publicly  during  the  semester  or  year.  Perhaps  this  difficulty 
is  insurmountable,  but  in  an  effort  at  least  to  reduce  it  the  Committee  now 
has  under  advisement  a  plan  of  an  entertainment-budget,  at  least  for  each 
semester,  to  be  presented  by  each  interested  organization  in  October  and 
February  for  action  by  the  Committee.  Only  in  some  such  way  can  the 
Committee  be  fair  to  all  interests  and  at  the  same  time  avoid  excess  in  the 
number  of  the  entertainments  or  congestion  of  them  at  special  seasons. 

For  the  first  time,  unless  the  Jeanne  d'Arc  Pageant  of  last  June  be  con- 
sidered, the  women  of  the  University  through  various  organizations,  the 
League,  the  Masques  and  the  Glee  Club,  have  given  a  large  public  entertain- 
ment. Their  Kermess,  given  last  fall,  nearly  filled  the  Auditorium;  and 
with  an  interested  audience.  The  entertainment  was  excellent  in  quality 
and  was,  on  the  whole,  well  managed.  Also  a  distinct  precedent  has  thus 
been  established  which  may  be  expected  to  lead,  if  not  to  annual,  at  least 
to  frequent  repetitions,  unless,  which  hardly  seems  likely,  restrictions  should 
be  put  on  such  public  entertainments  by  the  women. 

Coming  now  to  the  Junior  Hop,  the  terms  of  reinstatement  of  the  Hop 
are  a  matter  of  record  in  the  minutes  of  the  Senate  and  it  must  of  course 
be  remembered  that  the  Senate's  consent  was  given  specifically  only  for 
1915.  That  the  application  as  made  by  the  students  in  both  matter  and 
spirit  was  such  as  to  make  denial  seem  quite  unreasonable  was  evidently  the 
opinion  of  the  Committee,  of  the  Senate  Council  and  of  the  Senate,  all  of 
these  bodies  in  the  order  named  having  acted  favorably  upon  it,  and  it  is 
most  gratifying  to  be  able  to  record  that  the  expectations  aroused  were  ful- 
filled in  nearly  every  particular.  The  Hop,  in  short,  was  a  success  socially 
and  in  other  ways.  The  objectionable  features,  which  had  led  to  the  sus- 
pension in  191 3,  were  conspicuous  for  their  absence.  Among  the  students 
effort  was  general  and  cordial  to  comply  with  the  expressed  wishes  of  the 
Senate  or  its  representatives.    A  spirit  of  common  interest  prevailed.   An-

other  year,  should  the  function  be  again  allowed,  certain  minor  changes 
may  seem  desirable,  but  in  general  conception,  as  it  has  been  given  this 
year,  the  Hop,  the  most  notable  social  event  of  the  year,  at  least  for  several 
hundred  of  the  students,  seems  now  to  be  on  an  excellent  footing.  One 
fear,  entertained  by  some,  seems  to  have  been  largely  if  not  wholly  un- 
founded. It  was  thought  that  under  the  new  departure,  which  involved 
management  by  a  committee  selected  directly  by  the  junior  classes  instead 
of  management  by  a  committee  chosen  largely  from  the  fraternities,  some 
of  the  fraternities,  particularly  those  of  longer  standing  and  prestige,  might 
not  give  the  Hop  their  hearty  support,  if  they  even  supported  it  at  all,  but 
no  spirit  of  such  exclusiveness  and  resentment  was  at  all  in  evidence.  On  the 
contrary  through  their  participation  in  the  Hop  and  through  letters  re- 
ceived by  the  Chairman  of  the  Committee  on  Student  Aflfairs  the  evidence 
was  in  the  other  direction.  The  fact  is  of  significance  beyond  the  mere  rela- 
tion it  bears  to  the  Junior  Hop.  A  wholesome  university  spirit  may  be 
<^een  in  it. 

With  regard  to  the  house-parties  given  at  the  time  of  the  Hop,  these 
seem  to  have  been  held,  in  general,  with  a  desire  to  comply  with  the  sug- 
gestions as  to  days,  hours,  chaperones  and  expenditure  that  were  made  in 
a  letter  sent  out  jointly  by  your  Committee  and  the  student  committee  to 
each  house-club.  From  a  few  individual  persons,  it  is  true,  came  some  pro- 
tests. Your  Committee  was  accused  of  interfering  with  internal  affairs; 
was  too  paternalistic;  but  in  general  the  efforts  made  by  us  seem  to  have 
been  appreciated  or  at  least  taken  in  good  part.  Some  individual  persons 
and  some  individual  clubs,  self-assertive  and  over-zealous,  find  it  hard  to 
realize  that  the  interest  of  the  University,  the  good  repute  of  any  of  its  reg- 
ular functions  or  events,  is  really  more  important  than  so-called  individual 
independence.  This  being  true,  the  Committee  is  disposed  to  think  that  the 
house-party  is  now  probably  the  chief  point  of  difficulty  in  connection  with 
the  festivities  of  the  Hop.  Thus,  against  the  expressed  wishes  and  sug- 
gestion of  the  Committee,  although,  as  should  be  added,  not  against  any 
direction  or  command,  three  fraternities  and  their  guests  after  returning 
from  the  Hop  spent  the  rest  of  the  night  in  various  forms  of  entertainment. 
Of  course  all-night  festivities  may  not  be  intrinsically  wrong.  Bad  taste  or 
bad  judgment  they  may  be  charged  with.  That  they  do,  however,  con- 
tribute their  part  towards  bringing  discredit  to  the  Hop  itself  and  so  to 
the  University  is  matter  of  history.  They  may,  then,  be  charged  with  dis- 
loyalty. Obviously,  unless  reasonable  restraint  can  be  secured  in  the  con- 
duct of  the  house-parties,  these  parties,  undoubtedly  a  very  pleasant  and 
wholly  appropriate  adjunct  of  the  Hop,  will  have  to  be  eliminated  at  Mich- 
igan, as  already  at  some  other  universities. 

For  the  social  functions  in  general,  as  given  under  student  auspices, 
the  Committee  has  nothing  to  say  in  complaint.  On  the  contrary  improve- 
ment over  conditions  in  the  past  seems  to  have  been  the  rule.  Of  course  it 
is  not  possible,  nor  would  it  be  at  all  desirable,  for  your  Committee  to  keep 
a  close  and  officious  watch  over  these  affairs.  Complaints,  however,  have 
somehow  in  recent  years  come  easily  to  the  Chairman  and  during  the  pres-

ent  year  these  have  been  few  and  insignificant.  A  real  difficulty,  under 
which  dancing  parties  are  given,  is  that  of  securing  chaperones.  While  you 
have  seemed  to  think  that  there  should  always  be  chaperones  who  would 
really  represent  the  interests  of  the  University,  your  many  and  several 
wives  have  not  always  accepted  with  alacrity  invitations  to  act  in  re.  No 
criticism  is  here  made  or  intended.  The  jact  is  simply  called  to  your  atten- 
tion, in  order  that  you  may  understand  that  the  student  social  committees 
are  often  tmder  considerable  embarrassment  in  their  effort  to  comply  with 
your  wishes. 

The  trip  of  the  Musical  Clubs  during  the  Christmas  Holidays  was 
limited  as  to  distance  and  number  of  concerts,  but  musically,  if  not  financially 
proved  a  success.  The  Clubs  went  from  Ann  Arbor  down  into  Ohio  and 
then  east  as  far  as  Rochester,  returning  finally  to  Detroit  for  a  joint  con- 
cert with  the  Harvard  clubs.  Professor  J.  A.  C.  Hildner,  who  accompanied 
the  Clubs  on  their  trip,  has  written  as  follows :  "The  conduct  of  the  Clubs 
everywhere  was  remarkable,  almost  exemplary.  The  improvement  in  gen- 
eral conduct  over  the  Clubs,  which  I  accompanied  some  eight  to  ten  years 
ago,  is  due  to  many  reasons,  the  most  important  of  which  are,  that  the  gen- 
eral standard  of  conduct  in  our  student  community  is  higher  than  formerly ; 
the  Clubs  are  entertained  by  a  second  generation  of  alumni  which  does  not 
insist  on  a  "wet"  smoker  as  the  prerequisite  to  a  good  time;  the  trips  are 
better  organized,  the  list  of  events  which  every  member  is  required  to  at- 
tend very  nearly  filling  the  available  time."  In  his  report  to  the  Com- 
mittee Professor  Hildner  also  expressed  his  warm  approval  of  the  Clubs' 
singing  and  playing  at  the  high  schools  and  has  said  of  the  joint  concert  in 
Detroit:  "It  was  a  great  success.  While  Michigan  excelled  in  vivacity, 
Harvard  was  clearly  superior  in  artistic  finish."  Evidently  the  West  is  still 
holding  her  own ! 

About  a  year  ago  the  Chairman  of  the  Committee  sent  out  a  circular 
letter  to  prominent  alumni  and  to  officers  of  alumni  associations  east  and 
west  with  the  purpose  of  getting  so  far  as  possible  the  real  sentiment  of 
the  alumni  with  reference  to  visits  of  the  Musical  Clubs.  Many  replies  were 
received  and  they  showed,  to  g^ve  the  total  result,  good  nature  and  hos- 
pitality in  the  East,  but  little  or  no  disposition  to  consent  to  any  real  financial 
responsibility,  such  as  giving  guarantees.  In  the  West,  on  the  other  hand, 
there  were  evident  both  the  good  nature  and  the  hospitality  and  also,  if  the 
visits  .were  not  too  frequent,  say  not  oftener  than  every  third  year,  a  willing- 
ness to  aid  and  abet  the  enterprise  with  time,  labor  and  guaranteed  money. 
The  West,  in  other  words, — ^and  this  might  be  said  to  be  true  directly  as  the 
distance  west  of  Chicago — seems  to  feel  that  the  Clubs  are  useful  to  it — 
triefmially.  Chicago  and  nearer  points  of  sufficient  size  are  showing  a  sub- 
stantial interest  in  the  Union  operas  since  the  1913  and  1914  successful  trips 
of  "Contrarie  Mary"  and  "A  Model  Daughter."  Yet  it  should  be  added 
that  Jackson  and  Grand  Rapids  are  to  support  concerts  of  the  Musical  Cliibs 
in  the  near  future,  Friday  and  Saturday  evenings,  May  7th  and  8th. 

The  Musical  Clubs  took  their  trip  at  Christmas,  not  from  preference, 
but  because  the  Union  Mimes  had  been  allowed  to  take  the  Opera  of  191 5

to  Chicago  and  Detroit  and  some  of  the  larger  places  between  these  two 
points  during  the  April  recess.  Both  the  Union  and  the  Musical  Clubs  prefer 
the  April  recess  for  their  trips  and,  as  the  Opera  must  always  depend  on 
some  of  the  members  of  the  Clubs,  it  seems  likely  that  the  two  organizations 
must  hereafter  take  turns  going  "on  the  road"  in  April.  Either  this  or 
else  the  two  must  get  on  without  each  other's  members.  By  recent  action 
of  the  Senate  Council  the  Musical  Clubs  have  been  allowed  an  April  trip  in 
1916,  subject  to  the  plans  for  the  same  being  satisfactory. 

It  has  been  a  matter  of  much  regret  that  the  dates  for  the  Ann  Arbor 
performances  of  this  year's  Opera  should  have  fallen  in  the  last  week  of 
Lent.  The  application  for  the  dates  came  from  the  Michigan  Union  last 
May  and  at  that  time — however  excusably  is  not  for  me  to  say — no  mem- 
ber of  the  Senate  Council  granting  the  request  seems  to  have  had  the 
Church  Calendar  in  his  mind.  Nor  did  the  matter  come  to  notice  until  it 
was  too  late  to  make  a  change  without  much  injustice.  Another  year,  while 
the  formal  observance  of  Lent  can  be  said  to  affect  only  a  relatively  small 
number,  effort  will  certainly  be  made  to  avoid  any  trespass  on  Holy  Week. 

The  special  Committee  on  House-Clubs  is  now  holding  its  annual  con- 
ferences with  representatives  of  the  clubs,  meeting  them  in  six  groups. 
Three  groups  have  already  been  met  and  meetings  with  others  are  appointed 
in  the  period  March  22nd  to  27th.  The  Committee  first  sent  out  a  letter  to 
each  club,  giving  notice  of  the  conferences  and  naming,  as  topics  for  possible 
discussion,  fire-protection,  mock  initiation,  or  "rough  stuff",  the  scholar- 
ship chart,  financial  credit  of  clubs,  and  the  new  rushing  rules.  Also  the 
clubs  were  asked  at  a  club  meeting  to  discuss  these  matters  and  then  to  ap- 
point representatives  to  attend  the  appointed  conference.  This  method  has 
been  successful.    Attendance,  it  should  be  understood,  has  been  optional. 

To  speak  here  only  of  one  or  two  of  the  things  discussed,  the  question 
of  mock  initiations  or  "rough  stuff"  is  probably  not  as  serious  a  one  as  it 
used  to  be.  Even  now,  however,  the  tradition-idolatry  of  students  imparts 
a  vitality  to  the  practice  that  it  certainly  does  not  have  any  longer  intrinsically, 
and,  so  long  as  it  lasts,  it  must  be  attended  with  dangers,  although  under  the 
new  methods  the  dangers  are  probably  not  so  much  to  life  and  nerve  as 
they  used  to  be.  Thus  the  general  practice  still  goes  on,  having  consider- 
able support  even  among  the  sororities,  as  well  as  among  the  fraternities  and 
similar  groups.  Women  as  well  as  men  must  show  themselves  "good  sports" 
and,  relic  of  medievalism !,  good  sportsmanship  seems  to  mean,  not  merely 
the  performance  of  personal  services  and  humble  tasks,  not  infrequently  in 
public  places,  but  also  patient  endurance  of  direct  personal  hmniliation  and 
insult.  With  what  result?  It  is  probably  rare  that  a  season  of  this  "rough 
stuff"  passes  for  any  particular  group  without  some  bad  feeling  and  bad 
blood.  Here,  then,  is  injury,  not  merely  to  the  persons  immediately  con- 
cerned, but  to  the  clubs,  and  one  may  well  wonder  if  the  cost  be  not  too 
great.  Good  sportsmanship  nowadays  requires  no  saintly  submission  to 
personal  offense  and  insult.  Resentment  of  deliberate  personal  insult  is  a 
virtue  and  it  is  hard  to  see  how  anything  but  harm  can  come  from  the  ex- 
pectation that  self-respecting  persons  will  not  feel  and  harbor  it.    The  fact

that  not  infrequently  in  the  past  the  initiates,  either  in  anticipation  of  what 
they  have  to  expect  or  afterwards  in  order  to  get  even,  have  been  known  to 
perpetrate  offensive  practical  jokes  shows  which  way  the  wind  blows. 
If  the  purpose  of  the  "rough  stuff"  be  discipline,  let  the  clubs  remember 
hereafter  that  insult  has  not  been  considered  good  discipline  for  many  cen- 
turies. 

The  need  of  fire-protection  both  of  life  and  property  has  been  made 
evident  by  the  number  of  fires  during  the  present  academic  year.  The  most 
serious  fires  have  been  at  the  Delta  Chi  Fraternity  House  and  at  the  Wom- 
an's League  House,  for  several  years  known  as  the  Benjamin  House.  Your 
Committee,  only  supplementing  advice  from  several  other  quarters,  has 
urged  all  to  take  proper  measures  against  loss  of  life  in  case  of  fire  and  to 
insure  themselves  also  against  property  loss.  That  so  far  there  has  been 
no  loss  of  life  would  seem  to  be  only  good  fortune.  One  does  not  need  to 
be  an  alarmist  to  expect  that  under  present  conditions  such  loss  may  come 
in  shocking  measure  at  any  time.  When,  as  in  many  instances,  the  mem- 
bers of  a  house-club  all  sleep  in  the  upper  story  of  a  frame  house  with  a 
narrow  stair-case  and  no  other  means  of  escape,  the  possibilities  of  disaster 
are  obvious.  The  Committee  recommended  that  each  club  have  a  fire-warden 
or  proctor,  that  small  extinguishers  be  placed  in  suitable  places  and  that 
adequate  fire-escapes  be  provided. 

The  question  of  fire-protection  only  leads  into  the  larger  question  of  all 
the  living  conditions  for  the  students  of  the  University.  The  matters  of  air- 
si>ace  in  sleeping  rooms,  of  ventilation,  sunlight,  crowded  occupancy  of 
studies  as  well  as  of  bedrooms,  suitable  and  adequate  sanitary  facilities, 
heat,  and  all  the  ordinary  privileges  of  renters  of  rooms,  as  well  as  the  mat- 
ters of  meals  and  boarding-houses,  have  never  had  proper  attention.  While 
the  University  in  various  ways  has  been  trying  to  improve  the  life  of  the 
students,  seeking  in  a  spirit  of  co-operation  to  make  their  various  organized 
activities  serve  instead  of  hinder  the  purposes  of  residence  at  the  Univer- 
sity, these  more  material  living  conditions  have  been  for  the  most  part 
neglected.  That  what  has  been  done  for  the  women,  this  really  amounting 
to  considerable  improvement  of  their  living  conditions,  that  the  new  dormi- 
tories for  women  both  in  themselves  and  in  their  influence  on  general  stand- 
ards, and  that  the  contract-blank  or  form  of  lease  recommended  by  the 
Senate  Council  and  published  by  the  University  for  general  use,  that  all 
these  things  are  in  the  right  direction  needs  hardly  to  be  said;  but  very 
much  remains  to  be  done  and  the  Committee  on  Student  Affairs  regards  the 
recent  action  of  the  Advisory  Council  of  the  Alumni  Association,  by  which 
an  investigation  and  report  of  conditions  have  been  provided  for,  a  most 
important  undertaking.  This  Committee  will  co-operate  with  the  Associa- 
tion's Committee  to  the  extent  of  its  ability. 

In  the  report  made  to  the  Senate  a  year  ago  the  Committee  dwelt  on 
the  need  of  dormitories  for  men,  especially  in  view  of  the  new  rules  of  the 
Inter-Fraternity  Conference  excluding  freshmen  from  residence  in  frater- 
nity houses.  With  a  Catonic  persistence  the  Committee  wishes  again  to 
call  attention  to  this  need.  Nor  are  the  prospective  members  of  fraternities

the  only  class  of  students  who  might  be  served  by  dormitories.  A  dormi- 
tory or  dormitories  with  accommodations  for  several  hundred  students, 
preference  perhaps  to  be  given  to  applicants  entering  upon  their  first  year 
in  residence,  would  be  a  very  valuable  asset  in  the  University's  provisions 
for  its  students,  and  it  is  therefore  to  be  hoped  that  in  the  near  future  the 
imagination  of  some  friend  or  friends  of  students  will  see  this  need  large 
in  its  proportions  and  big  in  its  value  to  the  University. 

The  attention  of  the  Senate  is  called  to  the  fact  that  March  ist  of  the 
present  year  was  the  date  set  nearly  two  years  ago  as  a  time-limit  for  special 
action  by  the  fraternities  and  sororities  in  improvement  of  their  conditions. 
See  the  published  report  of  the  Committee  for  1913,  second  printing,  page 
15.  The  Senate  then  agreed  to  keep  hands  off  until  this  time.  What  the 
fraternities  and  sororities  have  done  is  generally  known  and  that  substantial 
results  of  the  sort  that  were  desired  have  been  already  attained  can  be  said, 
if  not  with  emphasis,  at  least  with  warrant.  There  has  been  a  material 
gain  in  attitude  towards  each  other  and  towards  the  University.  A  more 
wholesome  spirit  prevails.  A  long  standing  factional  division  has  been  re- 
moved. And  there  has  been  some  improvement  in  scholarship  standing  all 
along  the  line.  The  new  rushing  and  pledging  rules,  while  not  considered 
perfect  and  while  probably  to  be  modified  in  course  of  time,  after  experience 
has  really  made  clear  just  where  modification  is  wanted,  have  certainly  been 
in  the  right  direction.  In  its  relations  to  the  house-clubs,  as  may  be  said 
here,  the  Committee  proposes,  unless  the  Senate  should  offer  objection,  to 
adopt  the  plan,  used  elsewhere,  of  "warning"  clubs  or  placing  them  on 
"probation,"  where  the  average  records  seem  to  warrant  such  discipline. 
This  action  may  be  taken  by  the  Committee  with  or  without  publicity,  accord- 
ing to  circumstances.  Until  all  the  clubs  average  above  the  passing  grade, 
there  must  be  good  excuse  for  discipline  of  this  sort. 

Near  the  beginning  of  this  report  reference  was  made  to  the  students' 
"excellent  spirit  of  co-operation  with  University  officials  in  the  control  of 
the  various  activities."  The  several  sub-committees,  as  well  as  the  general 
Committee  on  Student  Affairs,  can  testify  to  this,  but  notable  evidence  ap- 
pears in  an  editorial  of  the  Michigan  Daily  for  a  week  or  two  ago.  Pro- 
fessor Scott,  Chairman  of  the  committee  known  as  the  Board  in  Control  of 
University  Publications,  will,  as  usual,  make  his  separate  report  at  the 
autumn  meeting  of  the  Senate,  but  it  can  not  be  unfitting  to  quote  the  edi- 
torial just  referred  to  at  this  time.    Thus : 

There  is  a  tendency  to  give  too  much  individual  credit  to  those  who  take  care 
of  a  student  publication  for  a  single  year,  as  editor  or  as  business  manager.  Little 
attention  is  paid  to  the  work  of  the  Board  in  Control  of  Student  Publications,  which 
is  really  the  balance  wheel  of  the  whole  system.  The  fact  is  that  Campus  publications 
under  the  supervision  of  this  Board,  including  the  Gargoyle,  the  Students^  Directory, 
the  Michigan ensian  and  the  Michigan  Daily,  whatever  meagre  merits  they  may  possess, 
must  thank  this  fostering  committee  for  their  stability. 

In  many  universities  chaotic  conditions  rule  as  to  undergraduate  publications. 
Most  of  them  are  conducted  on  private  initiative  and  are  run  professedly  for  profit. 
Charges  of  graft  are  the  common  thing,  rather  than  the  exception.  Competition  is 
carried  on  corruptly,  and  published  matter  is  biased  by  affiliations  and  petty  prejudices. 
The  Michigan  publications  seem  to  have  overcome  most  of  these  faults,  and  the 
credit  belongs  to  the  four  Faculty  members  and  the  three  students,  who  constitute  the 
Board  in  Control,  to  an  unappreciated  extent

366  THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS  [April 

This  editorial  bears  all  the  marks  of  genuine  appreciation  and  it  testifies 
in  an  important  respect  to  the  success  of  at  least  one  of  the  committees  of 
faculty  control.  It  suggests  also  what,  as  I  believe,  has  been  the  controlling 
spirit  in  the  work  of  all  the  committees  in  control,  namely,  sympathy  and 
interest.  The  committees  on  dramatic  organizations,  on  musical  organiza- 
tions, on  eligibility,  and  the  other  committees,  while  not  making  special  re- 
ports, have  been  doing  their  part  in  effecting  real  co-operation  between  the 
two  bodies  most  interested  in  the  genuine  and  substantial  success  of  the  life 
of  the  University,  the  students  and  the  teaching  body. 

Here  this  report  closes.  Nominations  of  committees  for  1915-1916  will 
be  made  at  the  next  regular  meeting  of  the  Senate.

ATHLETICS 


THE  BASEBALL  SCHEDULE 

When  this  issue  reaches  the  alumni. 
Coach  Lundgren  and  his  team  of  baseball 
players  will  already  be  far  on  their  journey 
through  the  South  in  the  annual  spring 
training  tour.  The  vacation  series  starts 
with  the  game  at  Lexington,  Ky.,  where  the 
University  of  Kentucky  is  the  opponent  of 
the  Varsity,  and  finishes  with  the  annual 
battle  at  South  Bend,  Ind.,  where  Notre 
Dame  will  furnish  strong  competition. 

A  new  route  has  been  laid  out  for  the 
Michigan  team  for  their  spring  tour  this 
year,  the  itinerary  taking  them  down  into 
the  Virginias.  Six  games  will  be  played 
in  the  Southwest,  according  to  the  schedule 
which  has  been  prepared  by  the  athletic  au- 
thorities, and  which  is  given  below,  with 
Marshall  College,  Washington  and  Lee  Uni- 
versit3',  the  University  of  Virginia  and  the 
Staunton  Military  Academy  as  opponents. 

Twenty-six  games  are  on  the  schedule 
which  has  been  mapped  out,  with  one  open 
date  on  the  eastern  trip  still  to  be  filled- 
This  date  was  occupied  last  year  by  Prince- 
ton, but  this  year,  through  unavoidable  cir- 
cumstances, the  Tigers  will  not  appear  on 
the  Varsity  baseball  list.  There  is  a  possi- 
bility that  this  date,  May  20th,  wijl  be  left 
open,  thus  giving  to  the  Michigan  men  a 
day's  vacation  in  the  East. 

Besides  those  included  in  the  spring  tour, 
only  one  new  opponent  will  be  pitted 
against  Michigan  this  year.  Kalamazoo 
Normal  comes  to  Ferry  Field  on  April  28 
for  one  of  the  conditioning  clashes.  Last 
year  they  had  a  strong  squad,  and  Coach 
Lundgren  is  of  the  opinion  that  this  year 
will  be  no  exception.  The  smaller  colleges 
on  the  Michigan  list  in  1914  failed  to  offer 
the  stout  resistance  which  Lundgren  would 
have  liked,  and  for  this  reason  he  has  wel- 
comed the  appearance  of  Kalamazoo  on 
the  schedule. 

The  history  of  previous  years  has  re- 
peated itself  during  the  past  month,  in  that 
athletes  have  been  kept  indoors  the  ma- 
jority of  the  time.  The  first  appearance 
out-of-doors  came  on  March  23,  but  cold 
weather  and  snow  drove  the  candidates  in- 
side the  next  week  and  the  vicissitudes  of 
baseball  training  at  Ann  Arbor  commenced. 
In  spite  of  this  Lundgren  has  been  able  to 
weed  out  his  big  squad,  and  to  give  to  the 
best  men  a  thorough  conditioning  drill.  The 


veterans  have  all  showed  every  evidence  of 
performing  in  their  last  year's  form,  while 
many  of  the  youngsters  have  shown  even 
better  than  had  been  expected. 

The  pitcher,  Ferguson,  was  forced  to 
undergo  an  operation  shortly  after  the 
squad  made  its  first  appearance  on  Ferry 
Field,  but  got  back  into  active  training  a 
couple  of  weeks  later.  It  is  not  believed 
that  he  has  lost  any  of  his  efficiency.  George 
Sisler  and  Davidson  were  among  the  reg- 
ular pitchers  who  kept  with  the  training 
squad  all  the  time,  while  Soddy,  Nichols 
and  Flynn  all  won  the  favor  of  the  coach 
early.  Fl)rnn  was  sick  for  a  short  time  dur- 
ing the  middle  of  March,  but  he  too  re- 
ported for  outdoor  work. 

In  the  infield  squad,  Captain  McQueen, 
Maltby,  Shivel,  Waltz,  Brandell  and 
Dwyer  showed  the  most  consistent  form, 
with  a  hot  fight  for  positions  featuring 
their  practice.  Catchers  Benton,  Harshman, 
Gee  and  Shepard  survived  all  of  the  coach's 
cuts  which  brought  the  squad  down  from 
84  to  21  men.  Sheehy,  Benton  and  Labadie, 
of  last  year's  outfield  trio,  are  practically 
certain  to  be  regulars  all  through  the 
season. 

The  following  is  the  schedule  of  games 
for  the  191 5  season,  as  passed  on  by  the 
Board  in  Control  of  A.thletics:

were  creditable.  In  the  shot  put,  Walls,  a 
fresh  lit,  won  with  a  put  of  37  feet  6  inches, 
a  performance  which  would  have  won  a 
place  in  many  of  the  meets  staged  this 
year.  Fast  time  was  made  by  some  of  the 
racers  in  the  35-yard  dash,  while  the  mile 
run  showed  promise. 


THE  INTERCLASS  TRACK  MEET 

With  a  record  entiy  list  of  219,  by  far 
the  most  successful  interclass  track  meet 
in  Michigan's  history,  was  staged  in  Water- 
man Gymnasium  on  Friday  and  Saturday, 
March  12th  and  13th.  So  great  was  the 
number  of  aspiring  athletes  entered,  that 
it  was  necessary  to  hold  preliminaries  in 
many  of  the  events  on  Friday,  in  order  to 
keep  the  meet  itself  from  running  forever. 

The  freshman  lits  eventually  won,  the 
result  not  being  decided  until  the  following 
week  when  the  pole  vault  was  staged-  At 
the  end  of  the  competition  on  the  13th,  the 
fresh  lits  were  tied  with  the  fresh  medics, 
but  the  doctors  were  unable  to  win  any- 
thing in  the  vault,  while  Scott,  of  the  '18 
men,  took  a  second  place,  and  broke  the 
17-17  tie  by  making  the  lit  total  20,  while 
the  medic  mark  stood  as  before. 

Every  athlete  who  had  ever  won  a  Var- 
sity or  class  letter  in  track  was  barred.  The 
result  was  that  every  man  who  thought  he 
had  the  least  bit  of  ability  turned  out  for 
the  competition.  The  entry  list  in  the  35- 
yard  dash  was  the  longest  in  an  athletic 
event  at  Ann  Arbor.  And  some  of  the 
others  were  close  behind.  A  great  many 
were  eliminated  in  the  preliminaries  on 
Friday,  but  nevertheless  the  number  who 
faced  the  referee  on  Saturday  afternoon 
was  no  less  than  startling.  The  meet  was 
run  off  smoothly  in  spite  of  this  fact, 
and  was  a  success. 

To  the  winners  of  the  first  three  places 
in  all  the  events  went  class  numerals,  thus 
placing  the  number  of  track  numerals 
nearly  on  a  par  with  those  awarded  during 
the  football  and  baseball  seasons.  Fresh- 
men won  the  majority  of  the  places,  nearly 
every  unsuccessful  candidate  for  the  All- 
Fresh  coming  out  for  this  meet. 

Dunlapp,  of  the  1918  medic  team,  was 
the  individual  star  of  the  meet,  taking  three 
firsts.  He  won  the  high  jump  and  both 
hurdles.  By  doing  this  he  scored  15  of 
the  17  points  rolled  up  by  his  team,  and 
he  is  being  considered  as  a  likely  prospect 
for  the  Varsity  squad  next  year.  The 
marks  made  in  one  various  event  were  by 
no  means  remarkable,  but  in  some  cases 


MICHIGAN.  40;  SYRACUSE,  37 

By  going  into  the  relay  race  and  beating 
the  very  runners  who  had  bested  them  in 
the  regular  events  on  the  dual  meet  pro- 
grram,  Michigan's  racers  won  the  annual  in- 
door meet  with  Syracuse  in  the  Syracuse 
gymnasium  on  the  night  of  March  13th. 
Before  the  relay  race,  the  last  event  of  the 
evening,  was  started,  Syracuse  was  ahead 
of  the  Varsity  by  a  score  of  37  to  35.  When 
the  8-lap  distance  had  been  completed  and 
Captain  Smith  had  raced  in  10  yards  ahead 
of  Captain  Donahue,  Michigan's  score  was 
40,  and  Syracuse's  37* 

Last  jrear,  when  this  same  relay  race  was 
run,  Michigan  led  by  a  narrow  margin  just 
preceding  its  start-  If  the  Easterners  had 
won  at  that  time,  they  would  have  per- 
formed the  same  feat  which  the  Varsity 
did  on  this  night  of  March  13th,  1915.  The 
performance  of  the  Michigan  men  was  the 
more  noteworthy  in  view  of  the  fact  that, 
to  win  the  race,  they  had  to  upset  the  re- 
sults of  the  previous  races  and  beat  the 
very  men  who  had  won  earlier  in  the  even- 
ing. 

In  the  relay  race  each  man  ran  300  yards. 
In  the  regular  300-yard  race.  Captain  Smith 
of  Michigan  was  unable  to  do  better  than 
win  third  place.  But  he  made  up  for  it 
by  runnihg  a  spectacular  race  in  the  relay 
and  winning  by  10  yards  over  the  Syracuse 
leader.  Besides  Captain  Smith,  the  Var- 
sity relay  runners  were  O'Brien,  Burby  and 
Robinson,  the  latter  both  quarter  milers. 

To  win  this  indoor  meet  with  Syracuse, 
the  Michigan  athletes  were  compelled  to 
make  record-breaking  performances.  In 
the  40-yard  dash,  O'Brien,  Michigan,  who 
won  it,  tied  the  Syracuse  record  of  4  4-5 
seconds,  held  by  the  speeder  Reidpath.  In 
winning  the  mile,  Carroll,  of  the  Michigan 
team,  dipped  a  full  3  3-5  seconds  off  the 
former  Syracuse  record,  which  was  held 
by  Algire.  The  Orangemen  had  to  hang  up 
a  new  mark  in  the  300-yard  dash  to  beat 
Captain  Smith,  while  Ufer  added  more 
laurels  to  the  Michigan  quota  by  besting 
the  half-mile  record  by  a  full  second. 

The  meet  was  won  by  Michigan's  sopho- 
mores. The  veterans,  such  as  Captain  Smith, 
Ufer,  Fox  and  Lapsley,  did  good  work,  but 
the  great  majority  of  the  Varsity's  counts 
were  made  by  the  youngsters  on  the  team, 
the  athletes  who  are  this  season  serving 
their  apprenticeship  for  Michigan.  O'Brien,

Corbin,  Wilson,  Carroll,  Burby,  Robinson, 
VVaterbury,  Cross  and  the  others  all  per- 
formed in  stellar  fashion,  seemingly  filling 
up  the  holes  left  by  the  veterans  of  1914 
who  were  lost  to  FarrelFs  squad  through 
graduation. 

The  Syracuse  meet  brought  to  a  close 
the  indoor  track  season  for  Michigan,  a 
season  -which  had  seen  more  competition 
than  ever  before.  During  the  months  of 
February  and  March,  Coach  Farrell's  men 
won  both  their  dual  meets,  winning  over 
the  teams  of  Notre  Dame  and  Syracuse- 
The  Easterners  were  practically  certain  of 
winning  before  the  dual  meet  started,  and 
for  this  reason  the  victory  of  Michigan 
was  the  more  noteworthy,  as  well  as  the 
more  stinging  for  the  old-time  rivals  of  the 
Varsity.  The  relay  races  in  both  those  dual 
meets  were  won  by  Michigan.  But  she  lost 
four  other  relays,  the  one  at  Buffalo  with 
Pennsylvania,  that  at  Ann  Arbor  with 
Princeton,  and  the  two  at  New  York  City, 
told  about  in  another  column  of  this  issue. 

But  the  competition  has  meant  much  to 
Farreirs  men.  They  will  go  into  the  out- 
door season,  hardened  by  long  and  severe 
experience,  and  with  the  youngsters  on  the 
team  trained  as  only  collegiate  meets  can 
prepare  them. 

The  summaries  of  the  Michigan-Syracuse 
dual  meet  are  as  follows : 

Shot  put — ^Won  by  Cross  (M),  distance  42  feet 
8^  inches;  second,  Schultz  (S),  distance  39  feet 
2^  inches;  third.  White  (S),  distance  39  feet  3}^ 
inches. 

40-yard  dash— Won  by  H.  E.  O'Brien  (M), 
second,  L.  B.  Lapsley  (M)  and  H.  L.  Smith  (M) 
tied;  G.   C  Kingsley   (S)   finished  next.     Time — 

4  4-5  seconds,  which  equalled  Syracuse  record 
held  by  C.  D.  Reidpath. 

AS-yard  high  hurdles — Won  by  C.  B.  Corbin 
(M),  second  tied  between  Delling  (S)  and  Kings-

440-yard  dash — Won  by  J.  M.  Donohue  (S),

THE  FIRST  INDOC«  INTERCOLLEGIATE 
MEET 

Competing  in  the  first  indoor  Eastern  In- 
tercollegiate ever  held,  two  Michigan  relay 
teams  accredited  themselves  more  than  sat- 
isfactorily on  March  6th,  the  medley  quar- 
tette winning  a  third  place  against  some 
of  the  strongest  and  best  racers  in  the  East- 
ern collegiate  world,,  while  the  4000-yard 
team,  composed  largely  of  sophomores,  won 
a  fifth  place  in  the  long-distance  relay.  The 
relay  meet  was  held  in  the  Madison  Square 
Garden  in  New  York  City  and  marked  the 
first  event  of  its  kind  ever  held  by  the 
Eastern  Intercollegiate  Association. 

Two  nights  before,  competing  in  the 
senior  championships  of  the  A.  A.  U.,  Cap- 
tain Smith  took  fourth  place  in  the  75-yard 
dash,  winning  over  some  of  the  best  run- 
ners in  both  collegiate  and  athletic  club 
class.  O'Brien,  his  teammate,  who  went 
Ea^t  with  him  ahead  of  the  relay  teams, 
was  unable  to  place,  although  he  finished 
far  up  in  front  in  his  trial  heats.  These 
two  men  stayed  over  in  New  York  City  and 
ran  on  the  medley  team  in  the  Eastern  In- 
tercollegiate, and  did  even  better  work  on 
this  second  appearance. 

Pennsylvania  and  Dartmouth  finished 
ahead  of  Michigan  in  the  medley  race,  the 
Varsity  runners  losing  out  chiefly  through 
their  unfamiliarity  with  the  track.  O'Brien 
ran  the  first  lap  for  Michigan,  racing  a  dis- 
tance of  100  yards.  Captain  Smith  ran 
next,  going  200  yards,  and  would  have 
given  his  teammate,  Robinson,  a  big  lead, 
say  the  reports,  had  he  not  run  off  the  im- 
provised track  repeatedly.  Robinson  ran 
the  500-yard  distance,  and  Ufer  took  up 
the  last  lap,  displaying  surprising  form  at 
the  looo-yard  distance.  His  lap  was  the 
feature  performance  for  the  Michigan  team, 
in  that  he  made  up  a  big  handicap  and  fin- 
ished close  behind  the  winners. 

Carroll,  Grauman,  Fox  and  Donnelly  ran 
the  4000-yard  relay  as  the  Michigan  repre- 
sentatives. Their  inexperience  militated 
against  them.  Fox  being  the  only  man  on 
this  squad  <who  was  not  a  sophomore*  Car- 
roll was  the  star  of  the  quartette,  display- 
ing flashes  of  the  form  which  he  showed 
in  his  record-breaking  performance  in  the 
Notre  Dame  meet  in  Waterman  Gymna- 
sium. 

At  the  time  of  the  relay  meet,  the  annual 
business  session  of  the  Eastern  Intercolle- 
giate Association  was  held.  Varsity  Track 
Manager  Emmett  Connelly  being  the  Mich- 
igan representative.  The  meeting  resulted 
in  a  vote  giving  to  Pennsylvania  the  honor 
of  holding  the  191 5  Intercollegiate  meet, 
which  will  be  staged  on  Franklin  Field  in 
the  latter  part  of  May.

PROSPECTS  FOR  THE  TENNIS  TEAM'S 
EASTERN  TRIP 

Although  the  schedule  has  not  yet  been 
entirely  completed,  every  indication  points 
to  a  successful  eastern  trip  for  the  Michi- 
gan 191 5  Varsity  tennis  team  during  the 
month  of  May.  Previous  to  the  eastern 
tour,  matches  will  probably  be  held  with 
the  tennis  clubs  of  Detroit  and  Toledo, 
these  contests  being  intended  to  condition 
the  Varsity  men  for  the  clashes  in  the  east. 

According  to  the  tentative  schedule  which 
has  already  been  arranged,  Oberlin  will  be 
the  first  opponent  of  the  Michigan  trio,  the 
dual  match  being  scheduled  for  May  15. 
This  is  a  Saturday  match,  the  next  being 
scheduled  for  Monday  at  Pittsburgh  where 
the  trio  from  the  University  of  Pittsburgh 
will  be  the  Varsity's  opponents.  The  next 
two  days.  May  18  and  19,  are  still  open, 
but  will  doubtless  be  filled  before  the  time 
of  departure  comes.  Pennsy's  team  will 
offer  competition  on  May  20;  on  May  21 
the  Michigan  team  will  go  to  Washin^on, 
D.  C,  for  a  clash  with  Georgetown  Univer- 
sity. The  final  match  will  be  staged  on 
the  22nd  at  Annapolis,  with  the  powerful 
Middies  as  the  opposition. 

Last  year  the  Michigan  men  were  unfor- 
tunate in  that  they  lost  the  majority  of 
their  matches.  This  year  the  composition 
court,  now  being  constructed  on  Ferry 
Field,  will  afford  nearly  continuous  prac- 
tice, and  it  is  expected  that  the  men  will 
be  in  shape  to  put  up  a  strong  fight  against 
the  tennis  stars  of  the  East  this  season. 


majority  of  the  champions  of  this  season 
will  be  back  in  school  and  ready  for 
matches  with  the  wrestlers  of  other  schools. 


REIMANN  WRESTLING  CHAMPION 

Lewis  Reimann,  Varsity  tackle,  won  the 
heavyweight  wrestling  championship  of  the 
University  in  the  finals  of  the  annual  tour- 
ney held  by  the  Michigan  grapplers.  He 
was  successful  in  his  match,  winning  both 
falls  in  comparatively  easy  fashion.  Cap- 
tain Watson,  of  the  wrestling  team,  did  not 
enter  the  annual  tourney  this  year,  and  for 
this  reason  a  match  of  strength  between 
these  two  powerful  men  was  not  possible. 

Three  other  wrestling  titles  were  decided 
through  the  medium  of  the  tourney,  which 
included  over  a  score  of  entries  and  which 
saw  some  very  close  matches.  Amtsbuech- 
ler  won  the  middleweight  title  through 
straight  falls,  but  Tuttle  and  Crandall  need- 
ed the  decision  of  the  judges  to  get  their 
honors-  Tuttle  took  the  welterweight  cham- 
pionship, while  Crandall  bested  all  the  light- 
weights pitted  against  him. 

Wrestling  was  developed  to  a  high  degree 
this  year,  the  grapplers  having  the  advant- 
age of  the  training  given  them  by  Trainer 
Westerman,  a  wrestler  with  a  great  deal  of 
experience.  It  is  hoped  that  another  year 
will  see  intercollegiate  competition,  for  the 


INTERCLASS  RELAYS 

The  relay  runners  from  the  Pharmacy 
School  won  the  University  champion- 
ship for  the  191 5  indoor  season,  when  they 
won  from  the  junior  engineer  quartette  in 
the  final  race  of  the  annual  series.  The 
success  of  the  pharmics  in  surviving  the 
clashes  with  the  other  Campus  teams  was 
largely  due  to  the  work  of  Al  Robinson, 
the  former  Keewatin  Academy  sprinter  who 
is  this  year  a  freshman  in  the  University 
and  enrolled  in  the  Pharmacy  School. 

Incidentally  it  might  be  mentioned  that 
every  racer  on  the  pharmic  team  was  a 
freshman,  although  the  quartette  ostensibly 
represented  the  whole  department.  The 
quartette  had  little  trouble  in  winning  its 
last  race,  going  the  8-lap  distance  in  1:54 
i-5»  very  near  to  Varsity  record  time.  The 
pharmic  team  was  made  up  of  Fischer, 
Dillon,  Smith  and  Robinson,  who  ran  in 
the  order  named,  while  the  junior  engi- 
neer's squad  was  composed  of  Niles,  Smith, 
Kurtz  and  Warren. 


THE  RECORD  OF  THE  RIFLE  CLUB 

In  the  first  year  of  its  existence  Michi- 
gan's Rifle  Club  produced  a  team  which 
won  every  match  save  one,  losing  only  to 
the  Yale  University  five  in  the  final  con- 
test of  the  season.  Inasmuch  as  the  Yale 
marksmen  were  formerly  in  a  higher  class 
than  the  Class  C,  in  which  Michigan  shot 
this  season,  the  record  of  the  Wolverines 
is  considered  no  less  than  remarkable. 

Michigan's  squad  lost  to  Yale  by  the 
score  of  948  to  917,  the  mark  of  948  made 
by  the  Easterners  being  the  highest  score 
this  year  by  any  team  in  Class  C  shooting* 
The  Michigan  total  was  not  up  to  the  high 
standard  set  in  some  of  the  other  matches, 
but  it  maintained  an  average  far  above  that 
of  practically  the  entire  number  of  teams 
in  this  class. 

The  following  are  the  marks  made  by 
the  Michigan  men  in  their  Yale  match,  to- 
gether with  totals  for  the  whole  year : 

Yale  match — 

Curtis   185 

Thompson    183 

Moser    183 

Steers    183 

Simons    183 

Total    9>7 

The  record  of  the  Wolverines  against  the 
schools  in  their  class  follows :

Arizona 899 

Kansas  Agricultural    903 

Rhode   Island    9«3

THE  ALL.FRESH  BASEBALL  SCHEDULE 

Although  the  list  contains  only  six  games, 
the  schedule  of  collegiate  contests  which 
has  been  prepared  this  season  for  the  Mich- 
igan All-Fresh  baseball  team  is  the  largest 
which  has  ever  been  drawn  up  for  a  year- 
ling nine.  They  will  meet  the  Ypsilanti 
Normal,  the  University  of  Detroit  team  and 
the  squad  from  the  Orchard  Lake  Polish 
Seminary. 

Tommy  Hughitt,  formerly  a  member  of 
the  Varsity  squad,  but  who  has  been  forced 
to  resign  on  account  of  pressure  of  studies 
in  the  Engineering  College,  has  been  re- 
tained by  the  Athletic  Association  to  coach 
the  1918  All-Freshman  baseball  team,  and 
held  his  first  practice  on  March  27{h,  when 
over  40  candidates  appeared  in  the  gymna- 
sium cage.  Practice  up  until  spring  vaca- 
tion was  held  three  times  a  week,  when  the 
Varsity  was  not  using  the  gym  floor,  but 
after  the  vacation  period,  a  general  call  will 
be  issued,  and  drills  conducted  every  after- 
noon. 

From  present  indications  several  men  of 
really  Varsity  calibre  will  be  seen  with  the 
All-Fresh  team  this  year.  Roberts,  a 
pitcher,  has  already  brought  favorable  com- 
ment from  Coach  Lundgren,  who  watched 
him  practicing  early  in  the  year  with  the 
Varsity.  Roberts  has  a  big  prep  school 
reputation*  Lambert,  a  catcher,  hailing 
from  West  Virginia,  has  been  doing  regular 
work  in  the  cage  with  the  Varsity,  and  has 
more  than  held  his  own  with  the  regular 
candidates.  Peacock  is  another  backstop 
who  has  shown  good  form. 

The  following  is  the  schedule : 

April  34 — State  Normal  College  at  Ypsilanti 

May  i--State  Normal  College  at  Ann  Arbor. 

May  8 — University  of  Detroit  at  Detroit. 

May  15 — SS.  Cyrillus  and  Methodius  Seminary, 
Orchard  I^ake,  Mich. 

May  22 — University  of  Detroit  at  Ann  Arbor. 

May  29 — SS.  Cyrillus  and  Methodius  Seminary, 
Ann  Arbor, 


MICHIGAN  RELAY  TEAMS  ENTERED  AT 
DRAKE  GAMES 

For  the  first  time  in  nearly  ten  years,  a 
Varsity  track  team  will  be  entered  at  a 
Western    Collegiate    meet    of    importance. 


when  the  Wolverines  compete  in  the  Drake 
Relay  Games  at  Des  Moines,  Iowa,  on 
April  17th.  Michigan  may  be  represented 
by  both  a  4-mile  and  a  2-mile  team,  de- 
cision on  this  not  having  been  made  by 
Coach  Farrell  at  the  time  this  is  written. 

Michigan  track  teams  have  clashed  with 
Western  College  teams  in  the  Penn  Relay 
Games  in  recent  years,  but  this  competition 
has  been  limited  almost  entirely  to  Illinois 
and  Chicago.  But  when  Farrell  takes  his 
men  to  Iowa  for  the  Drake  classics,  he  will 
be  invading  one  of  the  strongholds  of  the 
Western  Conference,  and  he  will  send  his 
men  against  the  best  which  the  Conference 
can  produce. 

The  Drake  Relay  Games  draw  racers 
from  Illinois,  Chicago,  Minnesota,  Iowa, 
Northwestern,  Wisconsin,  Missouri,  Ne- 
braska, and  many  others  of  the  universities 
to  whom  Michigan  has  been  a  stranger 
since  the  severing  of  relations  between  the 
Conference  and  Ann  Arbor.  The  Drake 
Games  are  not  under  the  direct  auspices  of 
the  Western  Conference,  but  are  governed 
by  the  Missouri  Valley  Conference,  and  it 
will  be  under  the  rules  of  that  body  that 
the  races  will  be  staged. 

Last  year  the  fast  2-mile  team  from  Illi- 
nois came  down  to  Penn,  fresh  from  a  vic- 
tory at  Des  Moines,  and  beat  the  Varsity 
quartette  on  Franklin  Field.  Should  both 
Illinois  and  Michigan  be  entered  at  Drake 
in  the  2-mile,  Farrell  will  be  given  his 
chance  for  revenge.  He  has  not  a  single 
man  of  that  1914  relay  squad  to  send 
against  Gill's  speeders,  while  the  Illini  man 
has  two  veterans,  Tapping  and  Goelitz,  back 
and  running. 

By  a  recent  action  of  both  the  Board  of 
Directors  and  the  Board  in  Control  of  the 
Athletic  Association,  the  Varsity  track  "M" 
will  be  awarded  to  the  members  of  a  win- 
ning Michigan  team  at  the  Drake  games. 
This  action  marks  the  first  departure  of  the 
athletic  authorities  from  the  strict  rules 
governing  the  award  of  the  Varsity  letter^ 
and  it  is  expected  that  more  liberality  will 
result. 

The  appearance  of  a  Michigan  team  at 
Des  Moines  will  probably  mean  a  gathering 
of  Ann  Arbor  alumni  in  the  Iowa  capital 
for  the  races.  The  students  now  attending 
the  University  will  be  at  home  for  their 
spring  vacations,  and  will  form  the  nucleus 
of  the  crowds  of  Wolverine  rooters  who 
are  expected  to  be  on  hand  to  cheer  Far- 
rell's  runners.

THE  REGENTS'  MEETING 

It  is  aimed  in  this  section  to  ^ve  a  report  of  every  action  taken  by  the  Regents  of  Mneral  interest. 
Routine  financial  business,  appointments  of  assistants,  small  appropriations,  and  lists  of  degrees 
granted,  are  usually  omitted. 


MARCH  MEETING 

The  Board  met  in  the  Regents'  Room 
March  25,  1915.  Regent  Hubbard  was  ab- 
sent.— Regent  Clements  presented  sketches 
of  proposed  alterations  in  the  Waterman 
Gymnasium.  The  Board  referred  to  the 
Buildings  and  Grounds  Committee  the  mat- 
ter of  enlarging  the  Waterman  Gynmasium, 
with  authority  to  secure  bids  to  be  present- 
ed at  the  next  meeting  of  the  Regents — ^Re- 
ports were  received  from  the  Deans  of  sev- 
eral of  the  Schools  and  Colleges  making 
recommendations  with  respect  to  fees  to  be 
charged  students.  These  reports  were  re- 
ferred to  the  Executive  Committee  and  the 
Secretary  for  comprehensive  consideration 
and  report  at  the  next  meeting.— The  sum 
of  $2,000  was  set  aside  to  meet  the  cost  of 
lines  for  carrying  electric  current  from  the 
Power  Plant  to  the  hospitals,  nurses'  homes, 
and  certain  other  buildings  now  furnished

CHICAGO  ALUMNAE 

The  Chicago  Association  of  University  of 
Michigan  Alumnae  entertained  at  luncheon 
at  the  Union  League  Club,  Saturday,  Janu- 
ary 17,  191 5.  The  guests  of  honor  were 
Mrs.  Carter  H.  Harrison  and  Judge  Mary 
M.  Bartelme.  Despite  the  severe  storm, 
one  hundred  members  and  friends  were 
present.  They  were  received  in  the  spa- 
cious parlors  by  the  president,  Mrs.  Charles 
W.  Hills,  '95-'96.  rg6''g7;  the  secretary 
Mrs.  E.  W.  Conable,  '96-'oo,  and  the  social 
committee. 

After  an  informal  reception,  luncheon 
was  served  in  the  banquet  rooms,  which 
were  decorated  with  American  flags,  and 
with  Michigan  pennants.  During  the  lunch- 
eon, and  at  intervals  in  the  afternoon,  the 
alumnae  had  the  pleasure  of  listening  for 
the  second  time  to  Mr.  Thomas  McGran- 
ahan,  soloist  of  the  Paulist  Choir,  who  had 
come  by  special  request.  He  was  ably  as- 
sisted by  Mr.  Ronald  Rose,  baritone,  and 
Miss  Gallup  at  the  piano-  The  alumnae  are 
very  greatly  indebted  to  Mrs.  Alta  Beach 
Edmonds,  chairman  of  the  musical  com- 
mittee, for  these  excellent  artists. 

Mrs.  Hills  introduced  Mrs.  Harrison  in  a 
few  well  chosen  words.  She  had  asked  her 
to  speak  of  herself  and  her  literary  work. 
Mrs.  Harrison  at  once  took  her  audience 
into  her  confidence,  and  with  a  delightful 
intimacy  she  spoke  of  her  girlhood  in  New 
Orleans,  of  the  ideals  she  had  received  from 
her  mother ;  of  her  belief  that  every  woman 
should  devote  herself  to  some  work.  She 
spoke  of  her  fairy  tales  and  of  her  interest 
in  that  kind  of  literature.  She  fascinated 
her  hearers  with  her  charming  simplicity. 


With  Judge  Bartelme  as  guide,  the  guests 
spent  a  half  hour  in  the  Juvenile  Court. 
Miss  Bartelme  depicted  scenes  far  removed 
from  the  land  of  fairies,  as  she  spoke  of 
the  deplorable  conditions  of  the  delinquent 
girls.  She  traced  the  causes  of  delinquency; 
she  related  several  anecdotes,  half  hu- 
morous, mostly  tragic,  of  these  unfortunate 
girls.  She  was  quite  optimistic,  however, 
in  consequence  of  the  large  number  who 
"made  good."  Mrs.  Hills  had  introduced 
Judge  Bartelme  as  "America's  Portia/*  At 
the  close  of  her  talk,  she  called  her  "Chi- 
cago's Little  Mother." 

Both  Miss  Bartelme  and  Mrs.  Harrison 
were  made  honorary  members  of  the  Asso- 
ciation. The  afternoon  closed  with  "Auld 
Lang  Syne." 


An  event  of  special  interest  to  the  Mich- 
igan Alumnae  of  Chicago  was  the  tea  at 
the  Union  League  Club  in  observance  of 
Washington's  Birthday.  An  all-Michigan 
and  an  all-star  program  of  unusual  excel- 
lence, by  artists  of  rare  distinction,  was 
presented  to  a  most  enthusiastic  audience. 
The  program  was  as  follows: 

Violin  solos — Miss  Dorothv  Bartholf,  ac- 
companied by  Mrs.  Bartholf. 

An  imitative  interpretation  of  Maude 
Adams  and  her  company  in  Barrie's  "What 
Every  Woman  Knows,"  by  Mrs.  Ellen  Van

[April 


sent  from  Ann  Arbor  and  all  who  could 
be  foxnd  were  notified.  Great  interest 
and  enthusiasm  have  been  manifested,  and 
although  only  fifteen  women  were  present 
at  the  first  meeting,  it  has  been  learned 
that  illness  prevented  many  who  had  de- 
sired to  attend.  For  this  reason  the  charter 
membership  has  been  extended  to  the  next 
meeting. 

The  meeting  was  social  in  character,  and 
tea  was  served.  However,  many  plans 
were  discussed  whereby  the  organization 
might  take  its  place  among  the  stronger 
ones  of  the  city.  Mrs.  Quinlan  was  ap- 
pointed chairman  for  the  afternoon,  and 
after  listening  to  a  letter  from  Ann  Arbor 
the  following  officers  were  elected :  Presi- 
dent, Mrs.  W.  S.  Quinlan;  vice  president, 
Mrs.  Harris  Creech  (Carlotta  E.  Pope),  '95» 
A.  M.  'oo;  secretary,  Lucretia  P.  Hunter, 
'08;  treasurer,  Mrs.  Richmond  Rathbom 
(Mary  G.  Beagle),  '92-'93.  Mrs.  Charles 
W.  Hackett  (Sara  Stephan),  '98,  was  ap- 
pointed chairman  of  a  committee  to  pre- 
pare a  constitution.  The  next  meeting  will 
be  held  April  24  at  the  home  of  Mrs.  Paul 
S.  Crampton  (Mary  R.  Fayram),  '09,  4903 
Cedar  Ave.,  which  it  is  expected  every 
alumna  in  the  city  will  attend. 

Those  present  at  the  first  meeting  were :

LOS  ANGELES 

The  Alumni  Association  of  Southern 
California  has  been  favored  with  some  un- 
usually interesting  programs  at  its  weekly 
luncheons  of  late.  The  Association  has 
adopted  a  new  policy,  that  of  calling  on  its 
own  members  to  speak  before  it  on  any 
topic  of  general  interest  on  which  they  may 
happen  to  be  posted.  The  plan  has  worked 
admirably  thus  far,  and  has  resulted  in  a 
largely  increased  attendance  and  excellent 
entertainment.  Among  the  addresses  re- 
cently delivered  are  the  following:  Dr. 
Andrew  Stewart  Lobingier,  '86,  '89m,  "The 
Truth  About  Women,"  by  Mrs.  Walter 
Gallichan,  treated  from  a  scientific  stand- 
point. (This  is  the  book  which  is  chal- 
lenging the  thoughtful  study  of  the  coun- 
try.) Isaac  N.  Huntsberger,  '86/,  "The 
Jameson  Raid,"  "The  South  African  Con- 
federation," and  "The  European  War."  Dr. 
M.  N.  Avery,  '81  A,  president  Ckrman- Amer- 
ican Trust  and  Savings  Banks,  "The  New 
Currency  Law,  Regional  Banks  and  Pros- 
perity." Daniel  Rowen,  r73-'74,  "New  Zeal- 
and, the  Country  and  its  (Government." 
(We  hope  to  have  Mr.  Rowen  discuss  later 
"My  Trip  Through  the  South  Seas.")  Dr. 
Charles  C.  Tracy,  "Turkey,"  "The  Balkan 
Question,"  and  "The  European  War."  Dr. 
Tracy  speaks  from  the  ripe  experience  of 
forty-seven  years  in  Turkey,  twenty-five 
years  of  which  were  spent  in  building  up 
one  of  the  great  Turkish  schools,  where 
he  gave  instruction  in  six  languages.  Pro- 
fessor Gilbert  E.  Bailey,  '72-'73,  "California 
Geology  and  Soils  at  the  Panama- Pacific 
Exposition."  On  February  26  ex- Vice 
President  Fairbanks  entertained  the  Asso- 
ciation with  a  brilliant  talk  dealing  par- 
ticularly with  this  country's  position  at  the 
present  time,  viewed  from  an  international 
standpoint

OXFORD  STUDIES  IN  SOCIAL  AND 
LEGAL  HISTORY 

The  author  of  the  first  part  of  this  vol- 
ume. Willard  Titus  Barbour,  A.  B.  1905, 
A.  M.  1908,  LL.  B.  1908,  spent  the  four 
years  after  his  graduation  from  Michigan, 
as  Rhodes  Scholar,  at  Oxford,  and  pre- 
sents herein  the  results  of  his  labor  during 
these  years.  Since  his  return  from  Oxford 
Mr.  Barbotu*  has  been  Assistant  Professor 
of  Law  in  the  University  of  Michigan. 

In  his  classic  discussion  of  the  history 
of  contract,  first  published  in  Harvard  Law 
Review,  Vol.  H,  i,  and  Vol.  VHL  252, 
Dean  Ames  sa3rs  that  the  principle  of  con- 
sideration was  a  creation  of  the  common 
law  pure  and  simple.  Professor  Salmond 
in   an   essay  that   appeared  at  about  the 


same  time  as  Dean  Ames's  paper  (see  Law 
Quarterly  Review,  Vol.  IH,  p.  166)  ex- 
pressed the  opinion  that  somewhere  out- 
side the  common  law  the  principle  was 
evolved  that  a  promise  was  binding  if  there 
were  a  "legally  sufficient  motive  or  in- 
ducement for  making  it."  Both  these  schol- 
ars came  to  their  conclusions  without  the 
help  of  the  records  of  Chancery  in  the 
Public  Record  Office  and  it  is  from  this 
source  that  Mr.  Barbour  has  been  able  to 
modify  Dean  Ames's  theory  and  confirm 
the  guess  of  Professor  Salmond.  Under 
the  direction  of  Professor  Vinagradoff,  Mr. 
Barbour  has  had  the  courage  to  plunge  into 
this  mass  of  unedited  documents,  many 
thousands  in  number,  and  the  result  of  his 
labors  is  characterized  by  Professor  Holds-

worth,  the  distinguished  historian  of  Eng- 
lish law,  as  "one  of  the  most,  if  not  the 
most,  valuable  of  the  contributions  to  Eng- 
lish Legal  History  which  has  yet  appeared" 
in  the  "Oxford  Studies."  He  discusses  the 
history  of  contract  in  chancery  in  the  fif- 
teenth century.  The  originality  of  the 
work  is  shown  in  the  manner  of  citation  of 
his  sources,  "XH,  lo"  e.  g.,  means  Bundle 
twelve.  Petition  number  ten,  and  from  this 
great  mass  of  unpublished  material,  much 
of  it  written  in  law  French,  Mr.  Barbour 
has  secured  his  very  valuable  results.  Part 
I  of  the  essay  gives  a  brief  review  of  the 
history  of  contract  in  the  common  law. 
Part  n  shows  how  the  Chancellor  acted 
in  his  enforcement  of  parole  contracts.  In 
this  Part  the  conclusion  is  reached  that  a 
promise  was  enforced  because  of  the  pur- 
pose for  which  it  was  given,  or,  in  the 
words  of  St.  Germain,  "a  promise  to  be 
enforceable  must  have  a  reasonable  cause." 
The  Chancellor,  when  confronted  with  a 
new  situation,  applied  as  far  as  possible 
the  principles  of  canon  law  in  which  he  had 
been  trained  and  Mr.  Barbour  thinks  that 
we  shall  have  to  go  to  canon  law  as  the 
ultimate  source  of  this  doctrine  of  reason- 
able cause.  The  working  out  of  the  doc- 
trine there  is  however  reserved  for  a  later 
study.  The  essay  is  followed  by  an  "Ap- 
pendix of  Cases"  containing  the  selected 
petitions  upon  which  Mr-  Barbour  has 
based  his  conclusions.  These  cases,  pub- 
lished here  for  the  first  time,  will  give  to 
scholars  and  critics  a  chance  to  check  up 
the  work  done  and  verify  or  refute  the 
conclusions. 

There  is  a  favorable  review  of  Mr.  Bar- 
bour's work  by  Sir  Frederick  Pollock,  in 
30  Law  Quarterly  Review,  p.  502.  The 
article  by  Professor  Holds  worth  on  "The 
Earl^  History  of  Equity"  in  Michigan  Law 
Review  for  February,  191 5,  is  in  reality  a 
review  of  Mr.  Barbour's  essay,  and  is  al- 
most eulogistic  in  tone,  as  may  be  seen 
from  the  quotation  given  from  it  cited 
above.  Other  reviews  in  our  leading  legal 
periodicals  have  been  universally  favorable. 
The  book  is  a  credit  to  Michigan  scholar- 
ship and  the  Law  School  is  to  be  congratu- 
lated on  receiving  Mr.  Barbour's  services 
as  a  teacher. 

The  success  of  Mr.  Barbour's  residence 
at  Oxford  carries  with  it  a  suggestion  to 
all  American  students  on  the  Rhodes 
Foundation.  The  opinion  has  been  often 
expressed  that  the  taking  of  an  English 
examination  degree,  even  when  passed  with 
honors,  is  for  the  graduate  of  an  Ameri- 
can college  perhaps  not  the  best  way  to 
occupy  the  term  of  residence  of  our  Amer- 
ican Rhodes  Scholars.  It  is  liable  to  in- 
volve considerable  duplication  of  work  and 
is  at  best  but  more  of  the  same  thing  that 


our  university  students  have  already  had. 
If,  however,  a  research  degree  is  taken, 
especially  if  a  student  works  under  such  a 
master  in  original  scholarship  as  Professor 
VinogradoflF,  Oxford  will  furnish  to  the 
American  collep:e  graduate  the  same  schol- 
arship inspiration  as  do  the  best  of  the 
Continental  universities.  J.  H.  D.

NOTES  ON  FIELD  ARTILLERY  FOR 
OFFICERS  OF  ALL  ARMS 

Six  months  ago,  any  work  dealing  with 
gunnery  would  not  have  appealed  very 
strongly  to  the  general  public.  Since  the 
European  war,  however,  with  the  constant 
reference  to  artillery  duels,  detailed  de- 
scriptions of  ^ns,  shells,  ranges,  explo- 
sives, etc.,  the  mterest  of  the  ordinary  lay- 
man in  such  matters  has  increased  consid- 
erably. 

The  present  book,  which  was  written 
originally  for  the  general  information  of 
officers  in  the  United  States  Army,  not 
necessarily  connected  with  the  artillery, 
contains  a  fund  of  information  which 
should  be  of  great  interest  to  the  general 
reader.  The  author  not  only  discusses  the 
various  types  of  guns  and  ammunition  used 
in  ordinary  field  work,  but  deals  also  with 
the  broader  questions  which  bear  upon  the 
whole  question  of  the  effective  operation 
of  artillery.  The  importance  of  ammuni- 
tion supply  and  the  methods  of  insuring  the 
same,  together  with  the  organization  neces- 
sary, are  explained  in  a  simple  and  concise 
manner  which  cannot  but  impress  the 
reader  of  the  enormous  amount  of  detail 
involved  in  the  use  of  modern  artillery. 
While  not  entering  into  the  somewhat 
abstruse  problems  involved  in  the  science 
of  ballistics,  the  general  question  of  the 
technique  of  gun  fire,  and  methods  used 
for  obtaining  accuracy  and  maximum  effect 
are  clearly  explained. 

The  communication  of  information  by 
means  of  field  telegraphs  and  aeroplane 
scouts  has  been  brought  to  a  high  degree 
of  perfection  in  the  present  war,  with  the 
result  that  the  effectiveness  of  artillery  has 
been  more  than  ever  emphasized.  The 
bearing  of  such  information  upon  the  choice 
of  position  or  charge  of  the  same  has 
proved  of  incalculable  value  to  those  gen- 
erals who  are  at  present  playing  the  *'War

Game"  in  earnest.  Some  of  the  problems 
involved  are  discussed  in  the  latter  part  of 
the  book,  and  are  given  in  the  form  of  first, 
"situation,"  second,  what  is  required,  and 
last  the  solution  which  contains  all  the 
necessary  orders  and  reasons  for  the  same. 
The  work  is  illustrated  throughout  with 
numerous  plates  of  various  types  of  artil- 
lery, and  wherever  necessary  diagrams  are 
introduced  which  are  of  assistance  to  the 
proper  understanding  of  the  text.  To  use  a 
somewhat  hackneyed  expression,  anyone,  be 
he  layman  or  otherwise,  will  find  the  book 
well  worth  while.  It  should  certainly  rec- 
ommend itself  to  careful  perusal  by  all 
our  state  military  organizations.

CITY  TRAINING  SCHOOLS  FOR  TEACH  - 
ERS,  U  S.  BUREAU  OF  EDUCATION 

This  comprehensive  survey  of  City  Train- 
ing Schools  for  Teachers,  full  fed  with 
facts  and  yet  suggestive,  covers  a  wide 
range  of  topics  and  problems  relating  to 
the  development  of  these  schools,  their  dis- 
tribution throughout  the  United  States, 
courses  of  study,  practice  teaching  and  ob- 
servation work,  and  methods  of  transition 
from  training  school  to  active  service.  It 
also  contains  valuable  material  bearing  on 
the  proportion  of  trained  and  untrained 
teachers  in  city  school  systems,  the  train- 
ing of  teachers  in  service,  municipal  higher 
education,  social  and  economic  status  of 
students  in  the  city  training  schools,  and 
several  other  important  topics.  A  bibliog- 
raphy is  appended. 

The  topic  of  "home"  teachers  and  "out- 
side" teachers — ^'*inbreeding,"  under  which 
Mr.  Manny  has  presented  varying  views 
and  procedures,  has  attracted  newspaper 
comment  which  seems  disposed  to  isolate 
or  magnify  the  danger  suggested  and 
which  fails  to  take  into  consideration  the 
manifold  educational  functions  which  this 
Report  shows  the  city  training  schools  to 
be  fulfilling.  The  detailed  accounts  of  some 
of  the  activities  of  the  Chicago  Teachers' 
College  and  of  the  Boston  Normal  School 
with  which  the  Report  closes  afford  strik- 
ing evidence  of  the  contributions  which  a 
city  training  school  may  make  to  the 
progress  of  the  entire  municipal  school 
system.  W.  C.  G.

THE  GERMAN  EMPEROR  AS  SHOWN  IN 
HIS  PUBUC  UTTERANCES 

This  ingeniously  planned  and  timely  book 
gives  as  complete  and  fair  an  idea  as 
can  be  attained  of  the  most  prominent  per- 
sonality in  the  present  European  situation. 
His  utterances  are  much  less  commonplace 
and  non-committal  than  those  of  most  royal 
personages.  We  see  his  arrogance  (pp.  66- 
72,  89),  his  autocratic  attitude  (47,  281), 
his  somewhat  egotistical  piety,  his  shrewd- 
ness (131,  207),  his  versatility  (62,  191-201), 
his  care  for  the  well-being  of  his  people 
(294-5),  his  utter  devotion  to  his  father- 
land and  vast  confidence  in  her  and  in  her 
divinely-chosen  emperor.  His  versatility 
has  perhaps  been  exaggerated;  he  ex- 
presses himself  on  subjects  which  an 
equally  well-informed  but  more  modest 
ruler  might  be  silent  about.  The  chrono- 
logical arrangement  of  the  book  shows 
change  in  certain  matters,  notably  in  his 
attitude  towards  England.  J.  S.  P.  T.

Petersburg,"  which  were  later  reprinted  in 
pamphlet  form.  The  articles  were  mainly 
a  digest  of  the  centenary  volume  entitled 
"One  hundred  years  of  the  Imperial  Public 
Library,"  printed  in  Russian  and  edited  by 
the  present  director  of  the  Library.  Mr.

In  188a  he  removed  to  Denver,  Colo.,  where  he 
has  since  resided.  In  a  letter  to  a  friend  he 
says:  "For  all  my  success  in  life  I  give  credit 
to  my  grand  old  Alma  Mater.  I  have  taken 
clinical  courses  in  Venice,  Berlin,  Edinburgh  and 
London,  but  can  say  that  I  found  better  work 
being  done,  and  better  instruction  given  at  Ann 
Arbor  than  abroad.'* 

Mrs.  Olive  J.  Morrow  (Olive  J.  Emerson),

maker,  teacher  ana  physician.  As  a  teacher,  I 
was  both  a  school  teacher  and  a  religious  teacher, 
and  as  a  physician,  it  was  usually  necessary  to 
be  both  doctor  and  nurse."  She  is  now  living 
quietly  at  Rochester,  Vermont,  enjoying  a  well 
earned  rest.  For  a  number  of  years  she  has

bodying the  slogan  "Made  in  Detroit,  U.  S.  A." 


A  condition  of  the  contest  was  that  the  design 
should  be  so  drawn  that  it  could  be  used  by 
other  cities  by  changing  the  name.  More  than 
19,000  entries  were  received.  The  winning  design 
was  of  an  American  eagle,  with  outstretched 
wings.  On  one  wing  the  word  "Made"  appears; 
on  the  other  "In."  The  city  name  is  beneath. 
Mr.  Chapman  is  a  trade-mark  authority,  and  has 
written  many  articles  on  trade-mark  practice.

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[April 


Fred  W.  Green,  '98I.  mavor  of  Ionia  and  secre- 
tary-treasurer of  the  Vpsilanti  Reed  Furniture 
Company,  returned  January  9  from  a  six  weeks' 
stay  in  the  war  zone,  where  he  went  to  secure 
his  year's  supply  of  raw  material  for  his  fac- 
tories. He  visited  London,  Holland,  including  a 
day  at  the  Hague,  Germany,  Belgium  and  France, 
the  last  two  that  he  might  see  for  himself  the 
war  conditions.  Mr.  Green  was  interested  in 
these  as  he  was  himself  first  lieutenant  in  the 
Thirty-first  Michifi[an  Volunteers  in  the  Spanish 
war  and  saw  service  in  Cuba.  He  went  abroad 
with  strong  letters  from  men  in  this  country  who 
were  well  known  abroad  and  had  little  difficulty. 
He  was  only  once  arrested  for  a  spv  in  Germany 
and  then  was  soon  released.  Mr.  Green  was  im- 
pressed with  the  enormous,  yet  untouched  re- 
sources of  Germany  and  the  intense  efficiency  of 
the  German  army,  and  also  by  the  way  the  French 
are  economizing  and  utilizing  the  spoils  of  war 
for  future  use,  re-boring  tne  bi^  guns  to  fit 
French  ammunition  and  not  wasting  a  scrap  of 
war  material.  He  thinks  the  war  will  be  long 
drawn  out,  unless  Russia  can  overwhelm  Germany 
by  mere  force  of  numbers.  Mr.  Green  was  chosen 
on  March  9  as  treasurer  of  the  Republican  State 
Central  Committee,  succeeding  Richard  C.  Joy,  of 
Detroit,  resigned.

1905   Men. 

I  hav^  received  80  replies  to  the  142  cards  I 
sent  out  in  December  to  the  men  of  the  class; 
of  these  80  there  are  61  who  say  that  there  is 
at  least  "half-a-chance**  of  their  oeing  back  for 
the  reunion.  Thcv  are  as  follows:  Ames,  An- 
drus,  Armstrong,  M.  B.  Baker,  Barbour,  Bloom- 
field.  Burgess,  Burmeister,  Campbell,  Carey, 
Chapman,  Chubb,  Conger,  Cook,  David,  Day,

Sonnenschein,  Stoepel,  H.  K.  Stone,  Stover,  Trout, 
Van  Slykc,  Waener,  Weld,  Woog.  There  are  62 
still  to  be  heard  from. 

For  attendance  at  Decennial  Reunions,  the  1904 
laws  appear  to  hold  the  record;  they  had  67 
back  in  1914 — ^but  the  lit-engineers  of  1899  had 
69  back  in  1909,  and  the  lit-engineers  qt  1902 
had  80  back  in  1912.  We  have  a  chance  to  set 
a  new  record,  and  it  looks  as  if  we  were  going 
to  do  it.  Let's  have  at  least  a  hundred  men 
<and  women)  back. 

The  reunion  will  take  place  Tuesday,  Wednes- 
day and  Thursday,  June  22,  23,  24.  The  first 
thing  on  the  program  is  a  banquet — with  stunts — 
for  the  whole  class,  at  the  Union,  Tuesday  night 
at  6:30  to  9:00.  This  is  for  the  men  and  women 
of  the  class,  their  wives,  husbands  and  friends; 
•come  early,  and  help  things  to  get  started  right. 

Accommodations,  costumes,  banquets,  etc.,  all 
included,  the  cost  while  in  Ann  Arbor  for  the 
three  days  can  be  brought  inside  a  ten  dollar  bill 
— and  think  of  the  pleasure  of  meeting  the  sec- 
TeUry  again — to  say  nothing  of  the  other  310 
members  of  the  class.  Will  you  stand  an  assess- 
ment of  two  or  three  dollars  for  the  most  splen- 
did costumes,  and  the  most  uproarious  equipment? 
Do  you  want  a  band? 

Carl   E.   Parry,   Secretary  for  Men. 

1 90s  Women. 

Only  thirty  of  the  one  hundred  and  forty-nine 
women  of  our  class  have  replied  to  the  postals 
sent  them.  Let's  hope  that  "no  news  is  good 
news." 

We  feel  quite  sure  that  the  following  will  be 
here:  Misses  Avery,  Bannister,  Bement,  Carr,

Utility —  Privacy —  Grace 


Not  merely  a  man's  car 

nor  a  woman's  car — but  a  car 
for  both  men  and  women—  a  car 
each  member  of  the  family  can 
drive — a  car  for  any  use  and 
every  occasion. 

Not  a  touring  car  —  though  the 
Detroit  Electric  will  carry  you  on 
98SC  of  all  the  trips  you  ordinarily 
undertake  as  efficiently  as  any 
type  of  automobile. 

Not  a  racing  car  —  though  the 
Detroit  Electric  will  develop  a 
speed  of  over  25  miles  per  hour — 
and  carry  you  60  to  70  miles  on 
a  single  charge. 


For  the  entire  family  the  Detroit 
Electric  is  the  practical  choice. 
Its  safety,  economy  of  operation, 
simplicity  of  mechanism,  freedom 
from  tire  trouble,  carburetor  and 
cylinder  annoyance,  its  clean- 
liness, reliability  and  endurance, 
are  features  found  in  combination 
in  no  other  type  of  automobile. 

Its  beauty  of  design,  quality  of  con- 
struction and  mechanical  excel- 
lence have  made  it  the  choice  of 
one- third  of  all  electric  car  buyers. 

See  one  of  the  six  handsome  models  rang- 
ing in  price  from  $2600  to  $3000  at  our 
nearest  dealer's.  For  the  needs  of  the

S%  On  Your  Savings 

In  investing  the  money  you  save  there  are  two  principal  things  to  be 
considered— Safety  and  Interest. 

The  First  Mortgage  Real  Estate  Bonds  sold  by  this  Company  afford  un- 
questioned safety — ^they  are  legal  investments  for  Trust  Funds,  and  they  pay 
5%  net  interest,  free  from  taxation,  a  higher  rate  than  can  be  obtained  else- 
where with  equal  safety. 

The  Bonds  can  be  bought  in  denominations  from  $50  to  11,000  to  suit  your 
convenience.  Each  Bond  is  the  direct  obligation  of  the  owner  of  one  specific 
piece  of  property,  giving  the  investor  a  tangible  security. 

The  U.  of  M.  Alumni  Association  has  invested  in  these  Bonds  for  its  En- 
dowment Fund.

Protection  IS  the  amount  line — held  by  the  courts  to

Millions  of  checks,  safely  transferring  billions  of  dollars,  have  been  written  on  Peerless

THE 

Michigan  Alumnus 


Vol.  XXI. 


MAY.  1915 


No.  204 


EVENT  AND  COMMENT 


Every  graduate  and 
ADDRESSED  TO  former  student  of  the 
40,000  ALUMNI  University  whose  ad- 
dress is  given  in  the 
records  will  receive  this  issue  of  The 
Alumnus.  Primarily  it  aims  to  set 
forth,  pictorially  in  great  part,  the  pro- 
posed Michigan  Union  building  and 
to  evidence  its  wide-spread  appeal 
among  "Michigan  men  everywhere." 
The  plans  for  the  campaign  among 
the  alumni  are  practically  com- 
plete. In  fact,  the  matter  would  have 
been  presented  to  the  alumni  last  fall 
except  for  financial  conditions,  which 
promise  this  year  to  be  more  favor- 
able, a.  Everyone  is  interested,  but  it 
has  been  difficult  to  present  the  plan  of 
campaign  and  the  description  of  the 
proposed  building  to  the  whole  body  of 
the  alumni  in  a  concrete  fashion.  This 
The  Ai^umnus  aims  to  do  in  this  is- 
sue. The  unanimous  endorsement  of 
such  architects  as  Cass  Gilbert,  Ralph 
Adams  Cram  and  Bert  ram  G.Goodhue, 
men  who  stand  for  different  tenden- 
cies in  American  architecture,  but  all 
of  whom  unite  in  praise  of  the  design, 
is  ample  surety  for  the  practical  and 
artistic  success  of  the  building.  Far 
from  being  extravagant,  the  greatest 
simplicity  in  construction  and  orna- 
ment is  everywhere  evident.  (S.  The 
architect  is  Mr.  I.  K.  Pond,  a  gradu- 
ate of  the  University  in  the  class  of 
'79,  and  former  president  of  the  Amer- 
ican Institute  of  Architects.  He  has 
aimed  to  design  a  building  which  will 
answer  in  a  thorough  and  far-seeing 
way  the  growing  needs  of  the  students 


and  the  alumni  of  the  University,  and 
at  the  same  time  to  make  the  exterior 
express  the  construction  and  purpose 
of  the  building.  We  believe  he  has 
succeeded,  d.  The  design  has  been 
changed  in  many  respects  from  the 
first  tentative  plans  published  some 
years  ago.  In  its  present  form,  Mr. 
Pond's  plan  has  been  endorsed  enthu- 
siastically by  the  campaign  committee 
and  by  the  committee  of  architects 
named  above,  whose  formal  reports 
will  later  be  laid  before  the  alumni. 


THE  MILUON 

DOLLAR 

CAMPAIGN 


The  Union  pro- 
ject, set  forth  in  fig- 
ures of  a  round  mil- 
lion, is  obvious 
enough  and  inspiring,  but  it  lacks  a 
certain  necessary  precision  to  many 
who  are  really  interested  in  the  under- 
taking. The  very  size  and  rotundity 
of  the  sum  suggests  a  certain  haphaz- 
ard estimate  of  necessities.  The  pro- 
ject seems  to  some  a  little  too  much 
in  the  air,  and  not  sufficiently  con- 
cerned with  actual,  particularly  finan- 
cial, realities.  To  the  extent  that  this 
idea  has  found  currency,  the  "million 
dollar  clubhouse"  slogan  has  been  un- 
fortunate. CI  As  a  matter  of  fact,  that 
sum  has  been  fixed  after  a  rather  care- 
ful analysis  of  the  necessities  of  the 
case.  Such  a  building  as  is  desired, 
imposing  in  size  and  beautiful  in  its 
proportions,  though  in  actual  detail  se- 
verely plain  and  conservative,  cannot 
cost  less  than  $600,000.  The  equip- 
ment will  cost  another  $100,000.  Mich-

pansion must  be  considered.  All  this 
accoimts  for  the  size  of  the  building. 
OL  Equally  important  is  the  mainten- 
ance- Without  an  endowment  the 
dues  would  have  to  be,  if  not  high 
from  the  viewpoint  of  the  city  club, 
nevertheless  entirely  prohibitive  for  a 
very  large  proportion  of  the  student 
body.  It  is  therefore  an  absolute  es- 
sential that  the  dues  be  kept  low, 
so  that  every  student  can  be  a  member 
of  the  Union,  and  take  advantage  of 
the  opportunity  it  affords  for  some  of 
the  finest  things  in  college  life,  good 
fellowship,  the  high  ideals  and  prac- 
tical altruism  for  which  the  Union  has 
always  stood.  For  this  reason  it 
seem3  as  if  the  endowment  of  at  least 
$300,000  is  not  at  all  extravagant. 


The  Michigan  Union, 
"^^JS£«....  as  the  plan  for  the 
^J^"^  new  building  is  out- 
Imed  m  this  Aujm- 
NUS,  is  something  new  in  American 
university  life.  Unions  and  clubhouses 
there  are  elsewhere  which  have  in 
view  the  same  general  objects  as  the 
Michigan  Union,  but  nowhere  has  the 
idea  been  developed  on  so  generous  a 
scale.  Nowhere  have  so  many  threads 
of  student  activity  been  centered  in  a 
one  student  home.  Quite  possibly,  such 
a  building  would  not  be  necessary  in 
some  universities,  but  there  is  no  one 
who  is  familiar  with  student  life  at 
Michigan  but  would  acknowledge  the 
real  necessity  in  Ann  Arbor.  (S.  Those 
who  have  thought  and  planned  for  it 
these  ten  years  have  become  convinced 
that  the  size  of  this  building  is  one  of 
its  most  essential  features.  The  build- 
ing is  designed  for  the  use  of  all  the 
men  in  the  University.  Even  now,  with 
quarters  inadequate  and  by  no  means 
offering  a  real  equivalent  to  most  of 
its  members  of  the  two  dollars  and  a 


half  annual  fee,  over  half  the  men  of 
the  University  are  members  of  the 
Union.  It  is  not  too  much  to  say  that 
most  of  these  are  members  because 
they  believe  in  the  Union  project,  and 
feel  that  they  are  showing  that  the 
students  as  a  body  are  enthusiastically 
behind  the  Union.  Already  a  total  of 
$60,000  has  been  subscribed  by  stu- 
dents themselves  towards  the  new  club- 
house in  the  form  of  life  memberships. 
A  further  campaign  this  spring  will, 
in  all  probability,  bring  the  sum 
pledged  by  students  for  the  Michigan 
Union  in  the  form  of  life  member- 
ships up  to  the  impressive  sum  of 
$100,000. 


TO  BE  A 

STUDENT 

"HOME" 


This  support  on  the 
part  of  students  is  the 
best  answer  the  Union 
can  make  to  those 
who  might  question  its  right  to  a  gift 
of  such  proportions  from  the  alumni. 
The  essential  thing  about  the  Union  is 
the  fact  that  it  is,  in  the  first  place,  an 
organization,  and  only  in  the  second 
place  is  it  a  building.  It  is  the  organ- 
ization which  demands  and  receives 
this  support  from  the  students.  From 
the  first  it  was  recognized  that  the 
Union  had  to  make  a  place  for  itself 
before  its  demands  for  a  building  were 
justified.  (S.  What  the  Union  has  ac- 
complished is  best  understood  by  those 
in  a  position  to  compare  student  life 
in  the  University  ten  years  ago  with 
that  of  the  present  time.  The  change 
is  a  remarkable  one.  It  is  not  so  much 
in  college  spirit — ^there  was  plenty  of 
it  then  as  now — but  there  is  a  deeper 
sense  of  responsibility  towards  his 
University  and  towards  his  fel- 
lows on  the  part  of  the  average  stu- 
dent, and  a  more  intelligent  support  of 
all  things  which  make  for  the  better- 
ment of  college  life.  Student  elections 
are  cleaner, — college  politics  is  no 
longer  a  by-word, — ^there  is  a  broader 
interest  in  social  and  civic  problems,  a 
Student  Council  has  been  established,

an  employment  bureau  maintained,  and  a 
higher  plane  established  in  many  col- 
lege activities,  to  speak  of  a  few  of  the 
varied  ways  in  which  the  Union  has 
made  its  influence  felt.  CL  Its  develop- 
ment has  been  hindered,  naturally,  by 
its  lack  of  adequate  quarters.  It  is 
safe  to  predict  that  with  the  comple- 
tion of  this  building,  the  Union,  as  an 
organization  and  as  a  building,  will 
become  a  greater  force  for  higher 
ideals  and  better  living  than  can  now 
be  estimated.  It  is  characteristic  of 
the  attitude  of  those  who  have  had  the 
project  most  at  heart  since  the  begin- 
ning that  the  word  "clubhouse"  has 
been  discouraged.  The  Union  is  to  be 
more  than  that.  The  expression  pre- 
ferred is  home.

THE  i9i5REUNiC)Nsmessages  we  hope  this

to  the  alumni.  The  first  is  the  hearti- 
est invitation  from  the  University  and 
the  Alumni  Association  to  be  present 
at  the  coming  Commencement  season 
of  the  University.  Commencement  oc- 
curs on  Jime  24.  The  two  days  pre- 
ceding are  to  be  given  over  to  the 
alumni.  Tuesday,  June  22,  is  Reunion 
Day.  Twenty-nine  classes  are  already 
planning  to  be  on  hand,  as  given  in 
the  list  on  page  398.  This  means  the 
largest  home-coming  in  the  history  of 
the  University,  with  the  exception  of 
the  attendance  at  the  Seventy-fifth  An- 
niversary three  years  ago.  While 
class  reunions  are  a  very  important 
part  of  the  program,  they  do  not 
monopolize  it.  Provision  will  be  made 
for  every  alumnus,  and  it  will  be  a 
rare  case  when  one  does  not  find  the 
names  of  several  classmates  registered 
with  the  Alumni  Association.  We  wish 
to  emphasize  the  fact  that  the  invita- 
tion is  to  everyone.  There  will  be 
badges,  tickets  and  entertainment  for 
all.

fair  sample,  with  the  exception  of  the 
fact  that  it  is  devoted  largely  to  the 
one  subject  of  the  Michigan  Union. 
Further  issues  will  keep  you  informed 
of  the  progress  of  the  campaign,  as 
well  as  the  life  of  the  University.  If 
you  are  one  of  those  who  have  "always

almost  any  business  man. 


ANEW 

LIBRARY 

BUILDING 


It  is  a  great  satisfac- 
tion to  The  A1.UM- 
Nus  to  announce  in 
this  issue  that  the  new 
Library  is  now  an  assured  fact, 
through  the  appropriation  by  the  State 
Legislature  of  the  $350,000  asked  for 
by  the  Regents  for  this  purpose. 
CH  The  bill  provides  that  the  appro- 
priation shall  be  made  in  two  annual 
instalments  of  $175,000  each.  The  se- 
lection of  an  architect  and  the  prep- 
aration of  final  plans  will  probably  be 
authorized  at  once  by  the  Regents,  so 
that  the  present  need  of  the  Library 
can  be  relieved  at  the  earliest  possible 
date.

SUMMER 
BASEBALL 
ONCE  MORE 


Summer  baseball  has 
come  to  the  front 
again.  It  is  a  peren- 
nial subject  of  discus- 
sion, which  never  seems  to  get  settled. 
Either  horn  of  the  dilemma  is  appar- 
ently equally  unacceptable.  In  the  one 
case  it  leads  to  the  abolition  of  our  ac- 
cepted rules  regarding  the  status  of 
the  amateur  so  far  as  baseball  is  con- 
cerned ;  in  the  other  case  the  abolition 
of  baseball  as  a  college  sport  is  threat- 
ened. The  present  situation,  let  it  be 
acknowledged  at  once,  is  unsatisfac- 
tory, not  to  say  intolerable,  as  a  rather 
acrimonious  discussion  of  the  whole 
question  in  recent  numbers  of  the 
Daily  indicates.  (ELThe  Board  in  Con- 
trol of  Athletics  has  shown  a  com- 
mendably  liberal  spirit  in  regard  to  the 
whole  question.  They  have  felt,  how- 
ever, that  Michigan  is  hardly  in  a  place 
to  take  the  radical  step  of  throwing 
baseball  open  to  all  students  of  satis- 
factory standing  who  have  been  in  the 
University  over  one  year,  irre- 
spective of  their  previous  record.  Yet 
there  are  many  w^ho  believe  that  if 
baseball  is  to  be  preserved  as  a  college 
sport,  this  is  the  only  logical  solution 
of  the  difficulty.  On  account  of  inter- 
collegiate relations,  however,  it  would 
be  almost  impossible  for  Michigan,  or 
any  other  university,  to  take  such  a 


step  alone.  As  matters  are  now,  if  a 
man  desires  to  play  baseball  during 
his  college  course,  he  must  practically 
deny  himself  all  opportunities  to  play 
at  any  other  time.  The  truth  is,  base- 
ball is  a  thoroughly  commercialized 
game.  The  opportunities  for  the  ama- 
teur are  rare,  and  the  temptations  are 
many.  The  Daily  has  recently  made 
the  charge  that  practically  all  the 
members  of  the  team  are  tainted  more 
or  less  with  professionalism,  and  has 
demanded  some  drastic  action  on  the 
part  of  the  Board  in  Control.  This 
contention  is  supported  by  a  statement 
made  by  Charles  C.  Webber,  '15,  Ann 
Arbor,  catcher  on  last  year's  team, 
which  is,  in  part,  as  follows: 

**The  students  and  the  alumni  of  the  Uni- 
versity have  known  for  years  that  the  men 
representing  the  University  have  played 
baset>all  for  money  and  they  "have  counten- 
anced the  practice,  in  the  belief  that  it  was 
a  universal  practice.  In  other  words,  they . 
held  that  the  rule  was  a  dead  letter.  That 
being  the  case,  men  have  gone  on  year  after 
year  committing  perjury  practically  openly, 
as  they  had  the  public  opinion  of  the  stu- 
dent body  behind  them.  *  *  *  * 

Either  we  should  line  up  for  the  rule  pro- 
hibiting summer  baseball  or  else  we  should 
abolish  it  entirely.  To  enforce  the  rule 
means  two  things :  either  the  men  who  have 
played  baseball  for  money  must  admit  it  or 
else  the  Board  in  Control  must  obtain  evi- 
dence against  them.  The  Board  has  asked 
me  to  give  evidence  against  the  men.  That 
I  refuse  to  do.  as  I  do  not  feel  that  it 
would  be  square. 
•The  abolishment  of  the  rule  is,  in  my 
opinion,  the  solution  of  the  problem.  The 
one-year  residence  rule  and  the  scholastic 
requirements  are  sufficient  protection  against 
professionalism. 

CI  Such  a  condition  of  affairs  is 
indeed  a  serious  one.  It  demands 
drastic  measures,  even  to  the  extent 
of  doing  away  with  baseball,  if  the 
charges  are  substantiated.  Even  if  the 
strictest  interpretation  of  the  eligi- 
bility rules  would  make  a  team  impos- 
sible, it  is  more  serious  to  counten- 
ance the  slightest  departure  from  the 
strictest  ethical  standards  in  this  mat- 
ter. The  Board  in  Control  are  confi- 
dent, however,  that  a  way  can  be  found

to  deal  with  the  situation  and  avoid 
either  extreme.  They  have  taken  the 
utmost  precautions  to  assure  them- 
selves of  the  eligibility  according  to 
the  strictest  interpretation  of  the  rules 
of  this  year's  players,  and  feel  that  Mr. 
Webber's  charges  and  others  of  a  sim- 
ilar nature  are  not  justified  by  facts. 
The  Law  Faculty  has  passed  a  rule 
threatening  expulsion  to  any  student 
guilty  of  this  form  of  misrepresenta- 
tion and  similar  action  in  other  facul- 
ties will  probably  follow. 

EVENT  IN  BRIEF 

Mme.  Olive  Fremstad,  of  the  Metro- 
politan Opera  Company,  appeared  in 
the  last  of  the  pre-Festival  Choral 
Union  concerts  on  April  8.  She  gave 
a  program  consisting  mainly  of  Ger- 
man songs. 

On  the  last  day  of  the  meeting  of 
the  Schoolmasters'  Club,  a  report  of 
which  was  given  in  the  April  Alum- 
nus, officers  for  the  coming  year  were 
elected  as  follows:  J.  W.  Mauck,  of 
Hillsdale  College,  president ;  Mary  A. 
S.  Gold,  of  Flint,  vice-president;  and 
Louis  P.  Jocelyn,  '87,  of  Ann  Arbor, 
secretary-treasurer. 

Officers  for  the  Michigan  Academy 
of  Science,  which  met  at  the  same  time, 
were  also  elected  as  follows:  Dr. 
Ernst  Bessey,  of  M.  A.  C,  president ; 
Professor  Richard  de  Zeeuw,  '07, 
Ph.D.  '09,  of  M.  A.C.,  secretary ;  R.  A. 
Smith,  assistant  state  geologist,  of 
Lansing,  editor;  Crystal  Thompson, 
'09,  A.M.  '10,  assistant  in  the  Univer- 
sity Museum,  librarian. 

According  to  a  rule  passed  recently 
by  the  Faculty  of  the  Colleges  of  En- 
gineering and  Architecture,  the  con- 
trol of  the  engineering  class  assem- 
blies has  been  placed  in  the  hands  of 
the  Dean  of  the  Colleges.  A  report 
has  been  prepared  by  Professors  C.  T. 
Johnston  and  John  R.  Allen,  and  Mr. 
W.  D.  Moriarty,  of  the  Colleges,  which 
embodies  the  rules  under  which  the 


assemblies  are  to  be  governed.  It  will 
be  remembered  that  the  assembly  sys- 
tem was  begun  in  the  fall  of  191 1  for 
the  freshman  class  of  that  year,  and 
in  191 3,  upon  request  of  the  sophomore 
and  junior  classes,  the  assembly  was 
extended  to  include  them.  In  June  of 
last  year  the  Faculty  recognized  the 
junior  and  sophomore  assemblies,  but 
made  no  rules  for  their  government 

Professors  Alexander  Ziwet,  W.  B. 
Ford,  J.  W.  Bradshaw  and  C.  E.  Love, 
of  the  Mathematics  Department,  at- 
tended the  meeting  of  the  American 
Mathematical  Society,  held  in  Chicago 
early  in  April.  Professor  Ford  read 
a  paper  entitled  "On  the  Representa- 
tion of  Arbitrary  Functions  by  Definite 
Integrals,"  and  Professor  Love  dis- 
cussed the  subject  "On  Linear  Differ- 
ence and  Differential  Equations." 

With  nearly  three  hundred  students 
engaged  in  a  complete  canvass  of  the 
Campus,  the  annual  Busrah  campaign 
of  the  Students'  Christian  Association 
was  launched  on  April  21.  The  sum 
of  $3,700  was  asked  for,  in  order  to 
maintain  for  the  coming  year  the  grad- 
uates of  the  University  now  in  mis- 
sionary woric  at  Busrah  in  the  Per- 
sian Gulf.  When  the  campaign  closed, 
there  was  a  deficit  of  about  $900  from 
the  required  sum,  which  the  commit- 
tee, however,  has  hopes  of  eventually 
raising. 

Under  the  auspices  of  the  Univer- 
sity, Hon.  Stephen  Panaretoff,  Bul- 
garian ambassador  to  the  United 
States,  lectured  in  Alumni  Memorial 
Hall  on  April  23,  on  the  subject  "The 
Development  of  the  Bulgarian  Lan- 
guage." Mr.  Panaretoff  was  a  pro- 
fessor in  Robert  College,  Constanti- 
nople, for  over  twenty  years,  and  is 
now  engaged  in  compiUng  the  first 
complete  Bulgarian  dictionary.  He  is 
the  first  Bulgarian  ambassador  to  the 
United  States,  and  has  done  much  to 
effect  friendly  diplomatic  relations  be- 
tween the  two  countries.

EVENT  IN  BRIEF 


395 


Richard  B.  Penzotti,  'i8A,  of  Orion, 
won  first  place  in  the  Intercollegiate 
Prohibition  Oratorical  Contest,  held  in 
the  Law  Building  on  April  7,  thus 
gaining  the  right  to  represent  Michi- 
gan in  the  state  contest  held  at  Adrian 
April  22.  His  subject  was  "Our  Na- 
tional Struggle."  Second  honors  were 
carried  off  by  Irving  S.  Toplon,  '17, 
Lake  Linden,  with  his  oration,  "A  Per- 
spective," while  the  other  speakers 
were  Edgar  R.  Paige,  '16,  Dedcerville, 
whose  subject  was  "National  Prohibi- 
tion," and  Harry  D.  Parker,  'i6l,  of 
Kankakee,  111.,  on  "The  Five-Mile 
Act." 

A  performance  of  the  Comedy  Club 
play,  "Pomander  Walk,"  was  given  in 
Jadcson  on  Friday  evening,  April  23, 
under  the  auspices  of  the  Jackson 
alumni.  The  play  was  produced  at  the 
Athenaeum  Theater  before  a  capacity 
audience,  and  was  enthusiastically  re- 
ceived. The  members  of  the  cast,  with 
Professor  and  Mrs.  L.  A.  Strauss,  who 
accompanied  them,  were  very  hospit- 
ably entertained  at  the  homes  of  the 
different  alumni  in  Jackson,  who  gave 
a  dance  after  the  performance  in  tiieir 
honor.  Owing  to  the  illness  of  Elsa 
W.  Apfel,  '16,  who  played  the  part  of 
Caroline  Thring  in  the  first  perform- 
ances, her  place  was  taken  by  Ruberta 
Woodworth,  '17,  of  Lansing. 

The  eleventh  annual  Junior  Play, 
presented  by  the  junior  girls  of  the 
University  in  honor  of  the  senior  girls, 
was  given  this  year  on  April  i  and  3 
in  Sarah  Caswell  Angell  Hall.  It  was 
called  "The  Comeback,"  and  was  the 
work  of  Eleanor  N.  Stalker,  of  Ann 
Arbor.  The  play  had  a  well-defined 
plot  concerned  with  Ann  Arbor  in  the 
year  2002.  Then,  owing  to  the  fact 
that  all  the  men  had  left  college  in 
1916  to  go  to  war,  the  University  was 
a  "manless  Michigan,"  and  the  com- 
plications caused  by  the  attempt  of  a 
daring  youth  to  reinstate  himself  and 
his  brother  exiles  gave  rise  to  many 


amusing  situations.  The  performance 
was  mariced  by  a  smoothness  and  spirit 
that  gave  evidence  of  careful  training, 
while  the  music  is  deserving  of  special 
mention.  It  was  exceptionally  good, 
and  the  chorus  work  was  excellent. 
Perhaps  the  most  popular  songs  were 
"I  Know  a  Secret,"  by  Martha  C. 
Gray,  Detroit,  and  Ellen  M.  Sargeant, 
Oak  Park,  111.,  which  was  later  pub- 
lished; "Vengeance,"  by  Miss  Gray 
and  Helen  S.  Brander,  Kalamazoo; 
"My  Wonderful  Dream  Girl"  by 
Altha  B.  HefFelbower,  Lapeer,  and 
Florence  E.  Snyder,  Churchville,  N. 
Y. ;  and  "Our  Seniors,"  a  local  topical 
song  by  Miss  Gray  and  Miss  Sargeant. 
The  two  acts  of  the  play  were  laid  in 
the  dean's  office,  and  on  the  Campus 
two  weeks  later.  Between  the  acts, 
burnt  cork  specialties  were  presented 
by  Julia  N.  Baricsdale,  Portsmouth, 
Va.,  Berenice  M.  Hannan,  Ann  Arbor, 
and  Nena  J.  Mclntyre,  Battle  Creek. 
The  cast  was  as  follows : 

Gerald,  bold  enough  to  invade  iMichigan — 
Elsa  W.  Apfel,  Ann  Arbor. 

Shirley,  with  wtiom  he  falls  in  love — Ger- 
trude W.  Roos,  Manisticjue. 

Jane  Andrus>  dean  of  women — Pauline  O. 
Emerson,  Ann  Arbor. 

Horatio  Blenker,  her  old  lover — Elizabeth 
M.  McRae,  Houghton, 

Letty,  who  falls  in  love  -with  Gerald — Edna 
M.  Tohind,  Logansport,  Ind. 

Louise;  large  and  athletic— Jemima  V.  Wen- 
ley,  Ann  Arbor.

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[May 


in  order  to  save  students  guilty  of 
minor  offenses  from  suspension,  the 
Colleges  of  Engineering  and  Architec- 
ture have  introduced  as  punishments 
for  the  less  serious  offenses  probation 
and  warning  that  a  repetition  of  the 
offense  will  render  the  student  liable  to 
suspension.  The  probation,  while  it 
becomes  a  part  of  the  student's  record, 
and  is  reported  to  his  parent  or  guar- 
dian, offers  him  a  chance  to  make  good 
by  his  later  actions.  In  a  similar  man- 
ner, students  on  probation  for  scholar- 
ship may  escape  suspension  by  passing 
twelve  hours  of  required  work.  For 
two  years  a  similar  system  has  been  in 
force  at  the  University  of  Wisconsin, 
which  is  administered  by  a  committee 
from  the  faculty.  Professor  F.  L. 
Paxson,  formerly  of  the  Michigan 
Faculty,  who  is  to  teach  in  the  coming 
Summer  Session,  is  chairman  of  this 
committee  on  discipline. 

The  sixth  annual  convention  of  the 
American  Association  of  Collegiate 
Registrars  was  held  in  Ann  Arbor, 
April  20-22,  with  nearly  a  hundred 
registrars  from  colleges  and  universi- 
ties all  over  the  country  in  attendance. 
For  the  most  part  the  conferences  took 
the  form  of  round  table  discussions  of 
problems  of  interest  to  the  members 
present,  while  five  sectional  confer- 
ences, dealing  with  the  special  prob- 
lems of  state  universities,  technologi- 
cal schools,  colleges,  agricultural  col- 
leges and  endowed  institutions,  were 
held.  Among  the  speakers  were  Pres- 
ident Emeritus  Angell  and  Dean  Ef- 
finger,  speaking  in  behalf  of  President 
Hutchins,  who  welcomed  the  mem- 
bers of  the  conference;  Recorder 
George  W.  Cram,  of  Harvard ;  Regis- 
trar Walter  Humphreys,  of  the  Massa- 
chusetts Institute  of  Technology ;  and 
Professor  R.  M.  Wenley,  of  the  Phil- 
osophy Department.  On  Wednesday 
afternoon  an  informal  reception  was 


given  in  honor  of  the  delegates  by  the 
President,  the  Regents  and  the  Univer- 
sity Senate,  with  their  wives,  in  Bar- 
bour Gymnasium. 

Work  was  begun  last  month  on  ex- 
tensive improvements  on  Palmer  Field, 
the  women's  athletic  field,  which  will 
make  it  one  of  the  best  equipped  in 
the  country.  One-fourth  of  the  hill 
on  which  the  present  two  tennis  courts 
are  located  is  being  taken  off,  and  the 
lower  part  is  being  drained  and 
graded.  Four  additional  courts  will  be 
made  on  top  of  the  new  hill,  while  the 
field  south  of  the  hill  is  to  be  levelled 
so  as  to  provide  a  place  for  group 
games.  The  north  field  will  be  pre- 
pared for  hockey  and  archery.  The 
clubhouse  on  the  field  comes  in  for 
its  share  of  improvements  also,  as 
electric  lights,  showers  and  telephones 
are  to  be  installed.  Two  tennis  courts 
just  north  of  the  Newberry  Hall  of 
Residence  will  be  built  at  once  with 
the  money  now  in  the  Palmer  Field 
sinking  fund. 

Celebrating  the  twenty-fifth  anni- 
versary of  the  Women's  League,  the 
annual  Michigan  Women's  Luncheon 
was  held  on  Saturday,  April  3,  in  Bar- 
bour Gymnasium.  Three  hundred  and 
fifty  women,  alumnae  and  students,  in- 
cluding nearly  a  dozen  past  presidents 
of  the  Women's  League,  were  seated 
at  the  sixteen  tables,  with  President 
Emeritus  Angell  and  President  and 
Mrs.  Hutchins  as  guests  of  honor. 
During  the  luncheon,  the  Girls'  Glee 
Club  sang,  while  short  talks  were 
given  by  the  President  Emeritus,  the 
President,  and  Mrs.  Shirley  W. 
Smith,  '97,  former  president  of  the 
League.  Following  the  luncheon,  the 
second  performance  of  "The  Come- 
back" was  given  for  the  entertainment 
of  the  guests.  Mildred  M.  Rees,  '15, 
of  Coudersport,  Pa.,  had  general 
charge  of  the  program.

398  THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS  [May 

ALUMNI  REUNIONS— JUNE  22  AND  23,  1915 

Prospects  for  a  record-breaking  attendance  at  the  191 5  reunion  season 
are  extremely  favorable.  With  twenty-nine  classes  in  line  to  date,  and  at 
least  a  few  others  considering  the  advisability  of  issuing  a  call,  it  will  prob^ 
ably  be  easy  to  surpass  the  record  attendance  of  1,420  registrations  in  the 
Altunni  Room  last  June.  The  University's  eflForts  to  make  the  alumni  period 
more  worth  while  for  those  who  return,  and  to  give  the  alumni  a  warmer 
welcome,  are  bearing  fruit. 

Last  year  for  the  first  time  two  days  were  set  apart  for  the  altmini. 
Tuesday  of  Commencement  Week  is  known  as  Reunion  Day,  and  on  Wed- 
nesday, Alumni  Day,  the  University  officially  takes  charge  of  the  program 
and  welcomes  the  alumni  on  their  return  to  Alma  Mater. 

The  Headquarters,  as  usual,  will  be  in  Alunmi  Memorial  Hall,  where 
class  badges  and  tickets  to  all  events,  will  be  furnished  upon  registration. 

In  general,  the  plan  inaugurated  last  year  will  be  followed.  Tuesday  will 
be  set  apart  for  the  gathering  of  the  classes  and  the  class  dinners  and  ban- 
quets. In  the  evening  the  Senior  Promenade  on  the  Campus  will  afford  an 
opportunity  to  see  the  University  in  its  most  attractive  and  picturesque 
setting.  This  will  be  followed  by  an  entertainment  in  the  Hill  Audi- 
torium, given  under  the  auspices  of  the  Michigan  Union,  where  the  alumni 
will  be  given  a  glimpse  of  student  life  through  a  series  of  entertainments  by 
the  students  and  by  means  of  moving  pictures. 

The  first  of  two  baseball  games  with  Pennsylvania  will  be  played  on 
Perry  Field  in  the  afternoon.    For  tickets,  address  the  Athletic  Association. 

On  Wednesday  the  University  gives  the  Alumni  Luncheon  in  Waterman 
G3rmnasium.  This  will  be  open  to  all  alumni,  and  an  attempt  will  be  made 
to  provide  separate  locations  for  all  the  different  classes.  This  will  be  fol- 
lowed by  an  Alumni  Mass  Meeting  in  Hill  Auditorium,  where  the  old  songs, 
cheers  and  a  few  short  speeches  will  form  the  chief  part  of  an  attractive  pro- 
gram. Then  comes  the  Alumni  Parade  to  Ferry  Field  behind  the  University 
Band  and  the  "M"  Club  to  witness  Michigan  defeat  Pennsylvania  on  Ferry 
Field.  Many  classes  are  planning  to  appear  in  costume.  The  Senate  Re- 
ception in  Alumni  Memorial  Hall  will  complete  the  program  for  the  day. 

Commencement  takes  place  the  following  morning.  The  Reveille  at  the 
close  of  the  exercises  will  mark  the  official  end  of  the  University's  Seventy- 
first  Commencement. 

Following  is  the  list  of  the  classes  with  their  secretaries  or  reunion  com- 
mittee chairmen  which  have  indicated  so  far  their  intention  to  be  present, 
together  with  the  headquarters  which  have  been  assigned  them.

1915]  THE  HOME  OF  THE  MICHIGAN  UNION  401 

THE  HOME  OF  THE  MICHIGAN  UNION 

A  Statkmknt  by  the  Architect 

Whatever  be  the  reasons  adduced  to  justify  the  years  spent  by  an  Ameri- 
can boy  at  a  university ;  whether  the  emphasis  be  placed  on  the  attainment 
of  control  over  one's  self  or  of  power  over  environment;  whether  the  justifi- 
cation be  found  in  the  acquisition  of  a  wide  acquaintance  with  many  aspects 
of  human  and  cosmic  life  with  a  resulting  sense  of  perspective  and  propor- 
tion that  qualifies  one*s  reactions  to  one's  own  future  experiences  and  keeps 
one  sane  and  balanced, — or  whether  the  justification  is  found  in  the  oppor- 
tunity to  make  certain  specific  activities  and  interests  so  vital  a  part  of  one*s 
self  that  the  living  process  thus  engendered  goes  on  through  the  years  in 
steadily  widening  circles,  in  a  culture  inseparable  from  the  very  self ; — what- 
ever the  justification  we  urge  for  the  university  life,  this  at  least  is  clear:  the 
university  life  is  not  to  be  lived  in  vacuo. 

Just  as  the  fruitful  life  in  the  world  is  not  to  be  lived  in  vacuo,  in  isola- 
tion, in  detachment  from  the  life  about  one,  but  is  rather  a  life  of  vivid 
participation,  is  the  life  of  a  social  being  functioning  responsively  and  effect- 
ively in  a  socialized  environment, — so  the  fruitful  life  of  the  university  stu- 
dent is  a  life  lived  in  vivid  participation — a  life  in  which  mental  development 
and  spiritual  growth  take  place  and  are  tried  out,  tested  and  tempered  in  so- 
cial contacts.  And  the  raison  d'etre  of  the  "Union"  rests  primarily  in  this 
fact — the  need  for  an  organized  field  for  social  contacts  and  reactions,  * 
wherein  the  student  may  live  more  largely,  wherein  he  may, — ^better  than  he  ' 
can  in  his  study  or  class  or  laboratory, — live  a  life  that  tends  to  prepare  him 
to  be  a  citizen,  a  man  who  can  take  a  place  and  part  in  the  community  life. 

The  Union,  then,  stands  for  a  socialized  life,  for  organized  and  whole- 
some contacts,  for  democracy,  for  savoir  faire.  And  the  home  of  the  Union, 
therefore,  should  be  a  place  where  this  democratic  and  socialized  life  can 
function  normally  and  effectively.  It  must  not  be  a  place  whose  aspect  and 
equipment  breed  a  habit  of  luxurious  living,  nor  a  place  whose  over-elabora- 
tion or  tawdriness  vulgarize  the  taste  and  lower  the  tone  of  the  social  life, 
nor  a  place  whose  ugliness  or  ineptitudes  invite  contempt  and  misuse.  It 
should  be  a  place  characterized,  without  and  within,  by  simplicity,  straight- 
forwardness, dignity,  serenity ;  a  place  whose  inherent  quality  works  toward 
an  unconscious  but  not  the  less  real  elevation  of  moral  and  social  tone ;  a 
place  which  the  student,  eagerly  starting  out  in  the  world,  will  leave  with  a 
twinge  of  regret ;  a  place  to,  which  the  "old  grad"  will  return  with  a  pleasure 
tempered  only  by  the  consciousness  of  changes  wrought  by  passing  years. 

This  is  the  conception  of  the  function  of  the  Union  and  of  the  character 
of  its  home  that  has  guided  the  architects  in  their  work  and  that  they  have 
sought  to  express  in  the  plan  and  design  of  the  building.  How  far  they 
have  succeeded  time  and  the  result  will  disclose.

404  THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS  [May 

The  Exterior. 

The  exterior  is  designed  in  what  may  be  characterized  as  a  moderniza- 
tion of  the  English  collegiate  type.  The  walls  will  be  of  brick,  stone-trimmed, 
on  a  stone  basement, — the  bricks  having  a  "texture"  surface  in  soft  tones, — 
the  visible  roofs  will  be  of  gray  green  slates.  The  principal  entrance  is  by 
the  great  tower  on  the  front  (east).  A  secondary  entrance  on  the  north 
serves  for  banquet  and  party  uses  and  gives  access  to  the  ladies'  dining 
room.  On  the  south  are  two  terraces,  each  17^  o"  x  78'  o",  overlooking  the 
tennis  courts, — the  lower  one  available  for  meal  service  from  the  main  dining 
room,  the  upper  one — ^glass  covered — available  for  use  in  connection  with 
the  banquet  hall.  The  building  has  a  frontage  of  168'  o"  and  a  depth 
of  233'  o". 

The  Interior. 

On  the  first  floor  are  the  great  lobby  and  the  lounge, — ^both  of  which  ex- 
tend through  a  height  of  two  stories, — the  general  office,  the  coat  room  and 
lavatories,  the  main  dining  room,  women's  dining  room,  four  private  dining 
rooms,  and  the  kitchen. 

On  the  second  floor  are  the  banquet  hall, — 58x104  and  extending  up 
through  three  stories, — four  private  dining  rooms,  a  serving  room,  a  wom- 
en's retiring  room  for  party  occasions,  and  two  large  club  rooms. 

On  the  third  floor  are  the  billiard  room  (twenty  tables),  the  large  game 
room,  the  grill,  five  private  dining  rooms  and  their  serving  room. 

In  the  basement  are  the  business  offices,  the  swimming  pool  (30  x  60) 
with  the  locker  and  shower  rooms,  the  bowling  alleys,  the  general  toilet 
room,  the  boiler  and  coal  and  machine  rooms,  the  service  lockers  and  toilets 
and  dining  rooms,  the  food  preparation  and  storage  rooms,  etc. 

The  fourth  and  fifth  stories  are  given  over  to  bed-rooms  and  sleeping 
cubicles,  and  bath  and  toilet  rooms  for  the  use  of  the  old  grads,  and  capable 
of  accommodating  some  one  hundred  and  twenty  persons, — without  doubling 
up,  except  that  there  are  eight  large  rooms  with  two  beds  each. 

The  dining  room  accommodations  admit  of  seating  some  thirteen  hundred 
and  seventy-five  persons  at  one  time  without  crowding.  The  kitchen  and 
service  facilities  are  planned  on  the  basis  of  an  even  heavier  demand  during 
the  Commencement  season.  The  several  private  dining  rooms  are  so  ar- 
ranged that  they  may  be  used  singly  or  in  groups  of  varying  number,  either 
for  dining  service  or  for  club  and  committee  purposes. 

The  interior  finish  and  the  wall  and  floor  surfaces  will  be  chosen  to  meet 
a  triple  requirement, — minimum  labor  in  housekeeping,  durability  and  aes- 
thetic charm.  Here,  as  in  the  treatment  of  the  exterior,  simplicity,  dignity 
and  color  charm  are  sought  rather  than  ostentation  or  elaboration  of  orna- 
ment. I.  K.  Pond,  '79^. 

Letters  From  Alumni. 

Responding  to  inquiries  sent  out  in  February  to  alumni  in  all  parts  of  the 
country,  the  Campaign  Committee  of  the  Michigan  Union  is  in  receipt  of 
optimistic  letters  indicative  of  the  success  to  be  expected  in  the  campaign  for

I9IS]  LETTERS  FROM  ALUMNI  405 

funds  planned  for  this  fall.  These  answers  show  that  the  Michigan  Union 
idea  is  becoming  well  understood  by  all  Michigan  men,  and  better  still,  that 
it  is  taking  hold  with  a  vengeance.  Success  truly  is  in  the  air.  A  few  of  the 
letters  show  how  the  idea  appeals  to  the  leaders  who  will  help  put  the  cam- 
paign across : 

Every  graduate  of  the  University  of  iMichigan,  and  all  who  have  attended  its 
courses,  wiU  'be  given  an  opportunity  during  the  year  1915  to  acknowledge,  and  in  a 
measure  repay,  the  debt  which  he  owes  his  Ahna  Mater. 

The  Michigan  Union  tmilddng  is  a  magnificent  project  and  one  that  will  mean  much 
to  the  University.  The  State  of  Michigan  has  done  well  in  fostering  and  supporting 
the  University,  but  private  benefaction  has,  with  few  exceptions,  been  almost  entirely 
lacking.  Recent  generous  donatrons  from  private  sources  mark,  it  is  to  be  hoped,  a 
new  turn  of  affairs.  The  erection  by  general  subscription  of  a  great  central  meeting 
place  for  students  and  returning  alumni  will  afford  every  Michigan  man  an  opportunity 
to  lend  impetus  to  this  movement,  and  will  cement  the  union  which  every  student  has 
with  his  college  and  with  his  past.  The  execution  of  the  present  plan  will  also  mark 
a  new  area  by  setting  an  architectural  standard  at  Ann  Arbor  which  has  heretofore 
been  entirely  lacking. 

The  entire  project  deserves  enthusiastic  support,  and  our  Committee  assures  you 
that  Detroit  can  be  counted  upon  to  do  its  full  share. 

Henry  E.  Bodman,  '96, 

Chairman  Detroit  Campaign  Conwnittee. 

Detroit,  -March  8,  191 5. 

This  committee,  which  will  divide  its  campaign  into  two  sections,  feels 
confident  of  raising  one-quarter  of  the  needed  sum.

This  is  a  distinctly  Michigan  community  composed  of  loyal  Michigan  men  and 
successful  ahimni.  We  are  vitally  interested  in  this  great  democratic  movement.  We 
f-eel  that  it  means  better  students  and  greater  alumni.  Its  far  reaching  community 
spirit  and  influence  will  inspire  more  lofty  ideals  and  greater  aspirations  in  the  stu- 
dents, and  will  perpetuate  these  ideals  and  stimulate  greater  efforts  in  the  alumni. 
It  will  engender  an  association  and  acquaintance  among  Michigan  men  that  cannot 
now  be  fully  comprehended.  It  wiH  accelerate  the  'Michigan  spifit  of  democracy  which 
every  Michigan  man  cherishes.  It  will  be  the  tool  house  for  the  principles  of  the  spirit 
of  Michigan  democracy.    We  are  eager  to  lend  our  best  efforts  to  its  full  realization. 

T'he  local  committee  proposes  to  work  along  the  admirable  plans  of  the  general 
committee,  and  to  reach  personally  every  alumnus  in  this  community. 
Yours  for  a  Michigan  Union  Club  House,

Answering  your  letter  of  the  13th  ult.,  relative  to  the  University  of  Michigan  Unioa 
The  proposed  campaign  shooyld  be  welcomed  by  every  alumnus  of  the  University,  as  it 
will  give  each  one  an  opportunity  to  do  something  which  will  be  a  real  help  to  the 
future  generations.  While  there  are  very  few  who  are  able  to  donate  a  building  to 
the  University,  every  alumnus  is  able  to  give  something  toward  the  erection  and  per- 
petuation of  the  Michigan  Union. 

Speaking    for  the  local  alumni,  you  may  rest  assured  that  everyone  will  do  his 
share  toward  the  raising  of  the  '^MilUon  Dollar  Fund."    We  have  a  preliminary  com- 
mittee organized,  who  are  ready  to  take  up  the  work  when  the  proper  time  arrives. 
Extending  to  you  my  best  wishes  in  this  work,  I  am, 

Fraternally  yours,

There  are  a  great  many  Michigan  men  in  this  locality,  and  the  sentiment  I  gather 

from  them  is  that  they  will  heartily  co-operate  with  you  in  your  plan  for  the  Michigan 

Union  $ij,ooo,ooo  Building  iFund.  We  all  feel  that  conditions  are  such  in  Ann  Arbor  that 

such  a  project  will  not  only  be  of  immense  benefit  to  the  students  of  the  University,

but  'will  also  prove  a  binding  tie  for  all  of  the  alumni.  With  such  a  project  success- 
fully pushed  to  completion,  it  ought  to  do  away  with  the  old  cry  of  so  many  alumni, 
"When  I  went  back  to  Ann  Arbor,  everything  was  changed,  and  I  actu^y  felt  like  a

I  have  no  doubt  that  the  money  necessary  to  erect,  equip  and  maintain  the  'Michi- 
gan Union  building  will  be  subscribed  by  the  alumni  and  friends  of  the  University. 
When  the  facts  are  laid  before  them  they  will  realize  the  immense  importance  of  the 
project  to  the  University  and  will  be  impressed  with  the  thorough  and  business-ltke 
manner  in  which  provision  has  been  made  for  safeguarding  the  fund,  for  erecting  ttte 
building  and  equipping  it  at  a  minimum  cost  under  the  direction  of  an  experienced 
building  committee,  and  for  managing  tiie  institution.

It  seems  to  me  that  the  last  word  has  been  said  on  the  Union  plan  whidi  has  been 
thoroughly  discussed  and  is  well  understood  We  should  now  go  to  it.    Alumni  in  this

1915]  THE  UNION  CAMPAIGN  409 

THE  CAMPAIGN  FOR  THE  UNION 

The  erection  of  a  new  Michigan  Union  building,  to  be  located  on  State 
Street,  just  off  the  Campus,  is  a  project  which  challenges  the  best  endeavor 
of  all  Michigan  men.  A  little  over  ten  years  ago  at  the  founding  of  the 
Union,  when  the  slogan  "For  Michigan  Men  Everywhere"  was  adopted,  the 
phrase  was  more  of  a  boast  than  an  aim.  Today  things  have  changed.  The 
Union  is  not  only  an  institution  in  the  life  of  the  virile  Michigan  man,  with 
a  work  that  has  become  essential  to  an  extent  that  is  almost  unbelieveable 
to  the  graduate  of  lo  or  20  years  ago, — but  its  far  reaching  influence  is  being 
felt  by  the  alumni.  And  all  because  it  has  grown  steadily  into  student  and 
alumni  life,  drawing  support  to  itself  by  the  practicability  of  its  objects  and 
accomplishments. 

The  plans  for  the  building  have  been  prepared  by  Mr.  I.  K.  Pond,  '79^, 
and  are  the  result  of  several  years'  study  of  the  needs  of  the  Union.  These 
plans  have  been  submitted  to  a  commission  of  three  of  the  foremost  men  in 
the  architectural  profession  in  America,  Mr.  Cass  Gilbert,  designer  of  the 
Woolworth  Building,  New  York,  Mr.  Bertram  G.  Goodhue,  designer  of  the 
recent  buildings  at  West  Point,  and  Mr.  Ralph  Adams  Cram,  supervising 
architect,  Princeton  University,  and  have  their  enthusiastic  endorsement 

There  are  still  many  thousands  of  alumni  and  former  students,  however, 
who  are  not  keenly  alive  to  the  Union  idea,  its  aims  and  accomplishments, 
and  whose  interest  and  sympathy  with  the  movement  for  funds,  to  be  started 
next  October,  would  carry  the  project  on  to  success.  It  is  to  meet  this  situa- 
tion and  educate  these  men,  that  the  general  campaign  committee  is  bending 
every  effort  through  its  g^eat  organization  movement  and  educational  cam- 
paign. 

The  personal  element  will  not  be  overlooked  in  the  campaign  for  funds. 
Effort  will  be  made  to  carry  the  message  of  the  Michigan  Union  personally 
to  every  Michigan  graduate  and  former  student,  in  the  belief  that  the  Uniop 
propaganda  can  best  be  carried  and  explained  through  personal  approach, 
insuring  a  more  keen  understanding  of  the  situation,  and  a  more  ready  re- 
sponse. But  no  effort  will  be  spared  to  reach  everyone  in  some  way,  and 
as  it  would  be  a  matter  of  physical  impossibility  to  reach  personally  every 
Michigan  man,  a  comprehensive  and  extended  publicity  campaign  under  the 
direction  of  Charles  A.  Hughes,  'gS-'oi,  roo-'oi,  will  be  carried  on  from 
the  middle  of  May  until  the  last  day  of  the  campaign,  October  31st.  Maga- 
zines, pictorial  weeklies,  illustrated  news  service,  weekly  and  daily  news- 
papers, will  all  be  utilized,  in  addition  to  the  University  Bulletins  and  pamph- 
lets. In  this  way  it  is  hoped  to  bring  the  story  of  the  Union,  and  its  cam- 
paign for  funds  for  a  new  building,  to  the  attention  of  every  Michigan  man, 
in  such  a  way  that  the  appeal  will  be  irresistible.  The  familiar  scenes  of 
undergraduate  days  will  be  brought  back  to  the  old  graduate',  and  then  the 
many  changes  since  those  golden  days  will  be  unfolded  to  him.  Though  the 
Campus  has  changed  greatly  even  in  the  last  ten  years,  and  with  these  changes 
have  come  all  the  modem  conveniences  which  we  so  enjoy,  still  the  student 
of  today  would  live  the  same  sort  of  life  as  he  did  ten,  twenty  or  thirty  years

ago  if  it  were  not  for  the  Union.  And  seeing  this,  the  alumnus  to 
whose  attention  is  brought  back  his  early  life  at  Michigan,  will  realize  how 
much  better  is  undergraduate  life  with  the  Michigan  Union  than  without  it. 
He  will  be  shown  how  much  better  will  be  the  traditional  Michigan  spirit, 
and  how  much  better  the  type  of  manhood  developed  at  this,  the  greatest  of 
state  universities.  And  then  will  come  the  realization  that  the  Union  will 
be  a  decided  and  distinct  benefit  to  the  University.  When  the  alumni  have 
reached  this  point,  the  local  campaign  committees  are  ready  to  make  their 
personal  call,  where  such  a  thing  is  possible.  So  the  importance  of  the  gen- 
eral educational  campaign  cannot  be  overestimated,  nor  will  it  be  overlooked, 
and  everything  will  be  done  to  present  the  matter  clearly  and  adequately,  so 
that  when  the  time  comes  for  the  campaign,  everyone  will  be  familiar  with 
the  project,  and  eager  and  ready  to  help  in  whatever  way  their  means  will 
permit. 

In  the  meantime,  a  great  system  of  committee  organization  will  be  car- 
ried on  in  those  localities  which  were  not  organized  in  the  summer  of  1914. 
Still  believing  in  the  personal  element,  the  general  campaign  committee  are 
organizing  solicitation  committees  in  every  section  of  the  country.  These 
local  committees  in  turn  will  personally  wait  upon  the  alumni  when  the  time 
comes,  in  behalf  of  the  building  fund,  which  it  is  hoped  will  total  one  million 
dollars  when  the  campaign  is  completed.  These  local  committees  will  be 
grouped  in  districts,  the  country  having  been  divided  into  eight  sections. 
Each  section  will  be  in  charge  of  a  young  alumnus,  who  in  his  undergraduate 
days  was  prominent  in  the  work  of  the  Union.  These  men  will  establish 
headquarters  in  their  district,  where  they  will  remain  until  the  close  of  the 
campaign.  From  these  sub-centers  the  work  of  organization  will  proceed, 
the  entire  country  being  controlled  from  Ann  Arbor. 

The  State  of  Michigan,  containing  the  most  Michigan  men,  will  require 
more  attention  and  organization  than  the  other  districts.  Three  men  will  be 
in  charge  of  this  territory:  J.  Griffith  Hays,  'ii,  Edward  W.  HaisHp,  '14/, 
and  Leland  S.  Bisbee,  '13,  '15/.  Selden  S.  Dickinson,  '13,  '15/,  former  Union 
president,  will  be  in  charge  of  the  New  York  district,  with  headquarters  in 
New  Yoric  City.  From  here  will  be  controlled  New  York  State,  Philadel- 
phia and  Scranton,  Pa.,  Washington,  D.  C,  Boston,  Mass.,  and  Montreal 
and  Ottawa,  Canada.  The  Cleveland  district,  in  charge  of  K.  S.  Baxter,  'ly, 
will  take  in  the  State  of  Ohio,  Erie,  Johnstown  and  Pittsburgh,  Pa.,  and 
Wheeling  and  Charleston,  W.  Va.  A  large  section  of  the  country  will  be 
controlled  from  Indianapolis.  From  here  the  work  of  organization,  under 
P.  Duffy  Koontz,  '14,  '17/,  president  of  the  Union,  will  be  carried  through 
central  and  southern  Indiana,  Danville,  Decatur,  Springfield  and  Cham- 
paign, 111.,  Louisville,  Ky.,  Nashville,  Knoxville,  and  Chattanooga,  Tenn., 
Birmingham,  Ala.,  Atlanta,  Ga.,  and  Jacksonville,  Fla.  Northern  Illinois, 
northern  Indiana,  Milwaukee,  Madison  and  Oshkosh,  Wis.,  will  be  handled 
by  Harry  G.  Gault,  '15,  from  Chicago.  The  Minneapolis  district  will  com- 
prise St.  Paul,  Duluth,  South  Dakota,  North  Dakota  and  the  Northern 
Peninsula  of  Michigan.  Another  vast  territory  will  be  handled  from  Kan- 
sas City.    This  district  will  take  in  southern  Illinois,  Missouri,  western  Ten-

nessee,  Arkansas,  Louisiana,  Texas,  Kansas,  Oklahoma,  Nebraska,  part  of 
Iowa,  Wyoming,  New  Mexico  and  Colorado.  The  Seattle  district,  in  charge 
of  E.  H.  Saier,  '13,  '15/,  will  take  care  of  the  west  coast,  including  Washing- 
ton, Oregon,  Idaho,  Montana,  California,  Nevada,  Utah,  and  Arizona. 

With  such  a  systematic  organization  of  the  alumni,  and  with  the  far 
reaching  publicity  campaign  as  now  planned,  it  should  not  be  a  difficult 
matter  for  the  Union  to  succeed  in  its  undertaking.  Everything  else  depends 
upon  the  loyalty,  spirit  and  interest  of  the  Michigan  men.  In  the  past  this 
has  been  of  the  highest  order.  It  has  carried  Michigan  to  the  very  front 
rank  of  great  universities.  But  it  must  not  fail  now.  This  movement 
means  much  to  our  Alma  Mater.  It  means  everything  to  the  present  genera- 
tion of  undergraduates,  and  to  those  who  follow  after.  So,  fellow  alumnus, 
you  may  not  be  called  upon  to  serve  as  a  committeeman.  But  you  will  be 
called  on  to  contribute.  Can  you  be  depended  upon  to  do  your  share  when 
the  time  comes  ?

I9IS]  A  STATEMENT  TO  THE  ALUMNI  425 

A  STATEMENT  TO  THE  ALUMNI 

BY  THE  CHAIRMAN  OF  THE  CAMPAIGN  COMMITTEE 

Plans  are  now  complete  for  the  demonstratiqg  by  Michigan  alumni  of 
their  loyalty  to  and  interest  in  their  Alma  Mater.  Michigan  has  never  be- 
fore called  upon  all  of  her  former  students  to  help  her  in  any  great  move- 
ment for  the  benefit  of  the  entire  University.  It  has  required  some  all  com- 
prehending movement  like  the  Union  to  afford  this  opportunity,  but  now 
the  time  and  the  opportunity  are  at  hand,  when  Michigan  men  may  put  their 
shoulders  to  the  wheel  and  carry  through  a  project,  which  "Prexy"  Angell, 
President  Hutchins,  the  Board  of  Regents,  the  Senate  Council  and  the 
Alumni  Association  have  all  declared  to  be  the  most  urgent,  the  most  helpful 
and  the  most  important  possible  addition  to  the  life  and  usefulness  of  our 
University. 

There  have  been  many  evidences  during  recent  years  of  a  rising  tide  of 
interest  in  our  great  University  and  all  that  it  stands  for.  Individual  altunni 
have  made  handsome  gifts  of  great  value,  but  never  before  has  there  been  a 
project  before  us,  which  would  enable  all  Michigan  men  to  contribute  to  a 
cause,  in  which  all  may  take  a  personal  interest  and  which  every  officer  and 
every  oflicial  body  of  the  University  has  declared  to  be  of  the  utmost  im- 
portance in  enlarging  the  usefulness  of  the  University  and  the  enriching  of 
Its  educational,  social  and  moral  life. 

Will  Michigan  alumni  show  themselves  equal  to  the  opportunity, 
which  is  before  them,  and  will  they  demonstrate  that  their  loyalty  to  their 
Alma  Mater  is  as  great  as  that  of  the  alumni  of  other  colleges  and  universi- 
ties to  those  institutions?  Consider  for  a  moment  what  has  been  done  by 
the  alumni  of  Harvard,  Yale,  Princeton,  Cornell  and  Pennsylvania,  for 
example.  It  is  safe  to  say  that  there  have  been  single  years  when  the  alumni 
of  Harvard  and  Yale  have  given  more  to  their  respective  institutions  than 
Michigan  is  now  asking  of  its  alumni  at  the  end  of  over  seventy-five  years 
of  its  existence,  to  give  today.  Friends,  other  than  the  founder  of  the  young 
University  of  Chicago,  have  given  year  by  year  to  that  institution  more  than 
we  are  asking  of  our  forty  thousand  alumni  as  the  tribute  of  three-quarters 
of  a  century  to  our  own  University.  The  little  Stevens  Institute  with  about 
two  thousand  alumni  and  only  a  few  hundred  students,  has  recently  raised 
over  $1,300,000.00.  Wellesley  College  for  Women,  with  comparatively  few 
alumnae,  recently  undertook  to  raise  about  $1,000,000.00  and  promptly  (Over- 
subscribed the  amount  by  three-quarters  of  a  million  or  more,  and  is  now 
going  on  to  increase  its  gift  from  alumnae  to  $5,000,000.00.  Instances  of 
this  kind  might  be  multiplied.  Every  Michigan  alumnus  is  familiar  with 
munificent  gifts  from  individual  alumni  and  from  alumni  associations  to 
their  institutions.  Are  we  wanting  in  equal  loyalty  to  our  own  institution  ? 
Are  recent  expressions  of  interest  and  of  a  desire  to  help  mere  rhetorical  or 
sentimental  flourishes?  Happily,  there  seems  sound  reason  for  believing 
that  Michigan  alumni,  given  the  opportunity,  will  prove  themselves  in  pro- 
portion to  their  means,  as  loyal  as  are  the  sons  and  daughters  of  other  col- 
leges and  universities  to  their  institutions.

426  THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS  [May 

The  time  is  rip^  now  to  press  our  campaign  for  funds  for  a  new  Union 
building.  The  country  is  rapidly  recovering  from  the  financial  depression, 
which  caused  us  to  postpone  the  campaign  planned  for  last  fall.  Despite 
some  disturbance  in  business  affairs,  the  country  was  never  soimder  finan- 
cially in  all  essentials  tha^  it  is  today.  Our  extraordinary  export  trade  has 
brought,  and  will  continue  to  bring  millions  of  dollars  to  this  country,  and 
ultimately  these  millions  must  be  distributed  throughout  the  nation.  In  the 
University  we  have  had  a  long  period  of  growth  in  nimibers  of  students  and 
in  richness  of  opportunity,  but  this  has  not  been  accompanied  by  a  corre- 
sponding increase  in  our  material  equipment.  Now  is  the  time  to  make  up 
this  deficiency. 

Plans  for  the  campaign  have  been  carefully  matured.  It  will  be  con- 
ducted by  a  committee  raised  by  a  conference  of  the  Regents,  alumni  and 
members  of  the  Union.  The  actual  direction  of  the  details  of  the  campaign 
will  be  in  the  hands  of  Mr.  Homer  L.  Heath,  working  in  conjunction  with 
this  committee.  Committees  of  aliunni  have  been  appointed  in  every  im- 
portant alumni  center  throughout  the  country.  Graduates  of  the  University 
will  visit  every  center  during  the  coming  summer  to  explain  the  needs  of  the 
Union  and  to  assist  the  local  committees  in  raising  funds.  Through  The 
Alumnus  and  the  publication  known  as  "Campus  News  Notes'^,  committee- 
men especially  have  been  kept  informed  as  to  the  progress  of  matters  here.  A 
great  mass  meeting  for  students  will  be  held  in  May  and  another  for  alumni 
at  Commencement  time.  During  the  summer,  other  details  of  organization 
will  be  planned  and  set  in  motion  throughout  the  country,  and  indeed 
throughout  the  world  wherever  our  alumni  are.  And  in  the  fall,  the  work 
of  the  actual  solicitation  of  funds  or  subscription  will  be  b^^un  simultan- 
eously throughout  the  country  and  every  alumnus  will  be  asked 
to  contribute  to  this  great  cause.  Every  precaution  has  been  taken  to  safe- 
guard these  funds  in  every  way  and  to  insure  to  subscribers  that  their  gifts 
will  be  safely  cared  for  in  the  hands  of  officials  responsible  to  the  Univer- 
sity. The  fidelity  of  any  person  who  may  handle  any  of  the  funds  is  assured 
not  only  by  careful  inspection  of  his  record,  but  by  bond  given  for  the  faith- 
ful performance  of  his  duties. 

Will  you  do  your  share  to  help  push  forward  this  important  movement 
in  our  great  University  life?  Will  you  help  show  that  Michigan  alumni  are 
as  loyal,  as  appreciative,  as  grateful  and  as  helpful  as  the  alunmi  of  any  other 
institution?  Will  you  join  us  in  carrying  to  completion  a  cause,  which  our 
beloved  ex-President  and  President  Hutchins,  all  of  the  officers  and  official 
bodies  of  the  University  have  assured  you  is  the  greatest  cause,  which  has 
ever  been  presented  to  Michigan  alumni  ?  We  confidently  expect  you  to  an- 
swer all  these  questions  in  the  affirmative.  Let  us  make  life  better  for  our 
students,  richer  and  better  worth  living,  let  us  create  a  great  center  for  the 
many  and  diversified  activities  of  our  cosmopolitan  life,  let  us  build  an  ade- 
quate home  for  returning  alumni,  let  us  build  a  great  memorial  to  Dr.  Angell, 
and  let  us  make  it  possible  for  him  to  enjoy  this  demonstration  of  Michi- 
gan's greatness  and  of  her  appreciation  of  him. 

Henry  M.  Bates,  '90, 

Chairman  Campaign  Committee.

6«conds  faster  than  the  Wisconsin  team 
ran  the  distance  one  year  ago  wihen  it  set 
the  Drake  Relay  record. 

The  four-mile  relay  race  was  easily  the 
feature  of  a  meet  which  was  otherwise 
marked  by  wide-open  finishes.  Coach  Far- 
rdll,  of  the  Michigan  team,  acted  as  Referee 
and  conducted  the  events  to  the  entire  satis- 
faction of  the  officials.  He  disqualified  Chi- 
cago, first  finisher  in  the  one-mile  relay,  for 
not  carrying  a  baton,  and  the  race  went  to 
'Missouri.  Purdue  won  the  two-mile  relay 
in  fast  time,  with  the  Maroons  as  the  best 
in  the  half-mile  event.  Over  half  a  dozen 
records  were  broken  by  the  high  school, 
college  and  university  teams  which  com- 
peted, the  track  being  exceptionally  fast. 


THE  PENNSYLVANIA  RELAY  GAMES 
One  week  after  the  Wisconsin  four-mile 
relay  team  had  beaten  ^Michigan  at  Drake, 
the  Varsity  turned  around  and  won  from 
the  Badgers  in  the  same  event  at  the  Penn 
Relay  Games.  And  although  Michigan  did 
not  win  the  event,  the  satisfaction  of  best- 
ing the  Wisconsin  quartette  partially  made 
up  for  the  sting  of  Cornell's  80-yard  vic- 
tory. Strange  as  it  may  seem,  the  time  of 
the  Penn  race  was  not  as  fast  as  that  of 
the  record-smashing  run  at  Des  Moines, 
but  the  Ithacans  had  little  trouble.  The 
positions  of  Carroll  and  Harvey,  the  'Mich- 
igan and  Wisconsin  anchor  men,  were  re- 
versed at  Penn,  this  time  the  Wolverine 
starting  off  with  a  five-yard  handicap.  He 
more  than  tripled  this  in  winning  second 
place  for  the  Varsity. 

Michigan  athletes  did  exceptionally  well 
at  the  1915  Penn  Relay  Games.  The  four- 
mile  team  took  second  place  to  a  team  from 
Cornell  which  had  been  expected  to  break 
the  world's  record.  Captain  Smith  won 
second  place  in  the  loo-yard  dash,  beating 
all  the  eastern  men  and  nosed  out  only  by 
Drew,  the  negro  runner  from  the  Univer- 
sity of  Southern  California.  This  perform- 
ance of  Captain  Smith  marks  him  as  one 
of  the  best  century-dash  men  in  college 
competition  today.  Wilson  of  Michigan 
tied,  together  with  thirteen  others,  for  third 
place  in  the  pole  vault.  Like  his  competitors. 
tlic  Varsity  man  fell  far  below  his  usual 
standard,  failing  to  reaoh  twelve  feet  by  a 
substantial  margin.  Cross  took  fourth  place 
tn  the  discus  throw.  Many  of  the  spectators 
claimed  that  he  should  have  been  accredited 
with  a  first,  one  of  tiic  judges  having  erred 


in  measuring  up  the  Michigan  man's  long* 
est  heave. 

The  performance  of  the  Mic9iigan  team 
was  considered  more  than  satisfactory.  As 
in  the  rest  of  the  meets,  the  Varsity  was 
represented  mainly  by  sophomores,  young- 
sters who  have  not  yet  been  tried  out  in 
strenuous  competition.  Captain  Smith  and 
Ufer  and  Fox  on  the  relay  team  were  tiie 
only  juniors  in  the  team. 

THE  VARSITY  MEET  MAY  I 

The  outdoor  track  season  was  opened  on 
Ferry  Field  with  the  annual  Varsity  meet 
on  -May  ist  .The  sophomores  came  out  easily 
the  winners,  with  the  freshmen  second,  the 
juniors  third  and  the  seniors  trailing  as  a 
very  weak  fourth.  Cross  in  the  pole  vault 
and  Ferris  in  the  broad  jump,  were  the  only 
near-graduates  who  were  able  to  make  ap- 
preciable indentations  on  the  totals  run  up 
by  the  youngsters. 

Fast  time  in  the  dashes  featured  the  meet. 
In  the  loo-yard  race.  Captain  Smith,  O'Brien 
and  Robinson  furnished  strenuous  compe- 
tition, with  the  sophomore  besting  the  Var- 
sity captain  and  the  freshman  star  trailing 
in  a  close  third  place.  Captain  Smith  won 
the  200  easily,  althougfti  Robinson  was  not 
entered.  Coach  Farrell  is  training  this  man 
for  the  quarter-mile  dash,  and  in  this  meet 
the  recruit  negotiated  the  distance  in  better 
than  50  seconds. 

Wilson  did  good  work  in  the  hurdles, 
although  his  performance  in  the  pole  vault 
was  spoiled  when  he  suffered  a  bad  tumble 
in  the  low  hurdles  and  was  slightly  hurt

SPRING  FOOTBALL  PRACTICE 

Coach  Yost  completed  a  two  weeks'  spring 
practice  session-  on  Ferry  Field  for  his  grid- 
iron candidates  on  April  30th,  when  he  left 
the  athletes  in  charge  of  Captain  Codiran 
and  the  rest  of  the  Varsity  men.  Over 
forty  men  who  will  be  numbered  in  the  fall 
practice  season  squad,  reported  to  Yost  diir- 
mg  his  two  weeks  in  Ann  Arbor,  and  the 
coach  expressed  himself  as  more  than  satis- 
fied with  the  result 

According  to  the  plans  announced  by  the 


coach  before  he  left,  the  drills  were  to  con- 
tinue for  one  week  longer,  after  which  the 
punters  alone  were  to  work  out.  Yost  named 
Hildner,  Raymond,  Sharpe,  Harrv  Schultz, 
Bixler  and  one  or  two  othets  as  tne  kickers 
who  were  to  continue  their  practice  as 
lom:  as  possible. 

Fall  practice  for  the  Varsity  football  men 
will  start  on  Ferry  Field  on  September 
20th,  two  weeks  later  than  was  the  case 
last  year.  This  is  partly  because  of  the 
fact  that  this  season  will  see  one  less  week 
of  preliminary  practice,  and  also  that  school 
starts  one  week  later  than  in  1914.  Yost 
stated  that  approximately  forty  men  would 
be  numbered  in  the  early-season  squad,  with 
Assistant  Coach  "Germany"  Schulz  prob- 
ably on  hand  to  help  agaiuv

it  is  doing  on  and  off  the  Campus.  He

ment of  Political  Economy,  which  is  now

by  the  BuflFalo  Association  to  the  winner  in 
last  winter's  hockey  contests  among  the 
preparatory  schools  of  the  city.  The  follow- 
ing is  clipped  from  the  Buppau)  Express 
for  April  24: 

Yesterday  was  a  big  da^  at  the  Nichols  school. 
Dr.  John  K.  Effinger,  Acting  Dean  of  the  College 
of  Literature,  Science,  and  the  Arts  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  Michigan,  was  the  center  of  interest, 
•8  he  appeared  at  the  school,  escorted  by  the 
members  of  the  Michigan  hockey  cup  committee 
— Carl   K.    Friedman,   Frank   C.    Ferguson,  John 


A.  Van  Arsdale,  E.  R.  Case  and  Charles  W. 
King — to  present  the  cup  which  was  won  by  the 
Nichols  team  in  last  winter's  rink  contests. 

In  his  talk  before  the  formal  presentation.  Dean 
Effinger  brought  vividly  before  the  boys  the 
necessity  of  carrying  into  all  their  work  the 
same  degree  of  honesty  and  efficiency  which  they 
showed  in  their  sports.  A  fine  feature  of  the 
day  was  the  school  cheering,  with  cheers  for 
the  hockey  men  individually  and  for  Dean  Effin- 
ger and  members  of  the  Michigan  cup  committee.

DETROIT 

The  first  Inter-Collegiate  Luncheon  was 
held  in  Detroit  on  Wednesday,  April  14,  at 
the  Hotel  'Statler.  It  was  the  occasion  of 
the  appearance  in  Detroit  of  the  Union 
Opera,  and  consequently  nearly  a  hundred 
of  the  hoys  were  present  to  sing  and  play 
during  the  luncheon.  Dean  'M.  E.  Cooley 
made  one  of  his  characteristically  happy  ad- 
dresses. The  reception  given  to  Dean 
Cooley  was  a  most  flattering  one,  and  he 
was  applauded  to  the  echo  when  he  said 
that  all  college  men,  irrespective  of  whether 
they  were  Michigan  men  or  not,  should 
support  the  needs  of  Michigan  before  the

legislature,  and  shauld  exercise  their  influ- 
ence toward  getting  tihe  necessary  appro- 
priations for  our  state  institutions,  and 
especially  that  they  should  endeavor  to  see 
to  it  that  representatives  in  the  legislature 
understood  that  all  college  men  -wanted 
Michigan  to  have  li«r  new  Library.  Hughie 
Jennings,  Detroit  baseball  coach  and  Cor- 
nell graduate,  was  also  given  a  most  enthu- 
siastic reception.  Dr.  Chadteey,  Siiperin- 
tendent  of  Schools,  spoke  not  only  of  the 
support  that  the  Detroit  schools  should  re- 
ceive, but  in  support  of  the  Library.  The 
attendance  was  remarkable.  There  were 
586  that  sat  down  to  luncheon  and  there 
were  nearly  400  who  could  not  get  seats  and 
had  to  be  refused  admission.  There  were 
61  colleges  represented,  Michigan,  of 
course,  having  the  largest  representation. 
Identification  cards  were  passed  around  and 
a  full  compilation  was  made  of  those  pres- 
ent Of  the  586,  298  were  from  Michigan; 
Cornell  had  55 ;  Michigan  Agricultural  Col- 
lege, 39;  Massachusetts  Institute  of  Tech- 
nology, 20;  and  in  addition  there  was  a 
good  representation  from  Harvard,  Yale, 
Princeton,  Pennsylvania,  Purdue,  Dart- 
mouth, College  of  Mines,  Illinois, — with 
the  balance  of  the  attendance  scattering. 

As  a  result  of  this  luncheon,  committees 
have  been  appointed  from  the  various  col- 
leges to  arrange  a  permanent  organization, 
with  the  idea  of  having  two  or  three  such 
luncheons  each  year.  Undoubtedly  one  Of 
these  occasions  will  be  the  visit  of  the 
Union  Opera  to  Detroit  in  the  spring,  and 
it  has  been  suggested  that  a  similar  lunch- 
eon be  arranged  when  Cornell  brings  her 
Glee  Club  here,  or  when  tihe  other  alumni 
associations  arrange  to  have  their  glee  clubs 
in  Detroit 

Under  the  splendid  efforts  of  Frank  M. 
Brennan,  '04/,  general  chairman,  and  Secre- 
tary James  M.  O'Dea,  '09^,  the  occasion  of 
the  Opera  visit  to  Detroit  was  a  wonderful 
success.  The  seats  were  offered  to  the  alumni 
first,  later  being  placed  on  public  sale.  The 
alumni,  a  week  before  the  public  sale,  had 
taken  every  ticket  in  the  parquet  and  bal- 
cony, and  only  59  back  seats  in  the  gallery 
were  left  for  the  general  public.  It  is  need- 
less to  say  that  the  Opera  has  established 
its  popularity  in  Detroit  for  all  time. 


At  the  regular  weekly  luncheon  on  April 
7.  E^r.  J.  B.  Kennedy  was  the  guest  of  the 
Club,  speaking  on  his  Alaskan  trip.  On 
April  21,  Adam  Strohm,  Librarian  of  the 
City  of  Detroit,  who  is  recognized  as  one 
of  the  leading  authorities  in  the  country  on 
library  management,  discussed  his  work  in 
Detroit.  Dr.  B.  R.  Shurly  was  the  speaker 
on  April  28,  taking  as  his  subject,  "Prophy- 
laxis," or  the  prevention  of  communicable 
diseases.

The  Association  of  University  of  Mich- 
igan Women  in  Detroit  has  held  regular 
Itmcheons  on  the  third  Saturday  of  each 
month  at  the  College  Club.  Various  speak- 
ers have  entertained  the  members  dtiring

berg, '15,  of  Detroit,  who  spoke  on  "Voca- 
tional Training  for  College  Women."  The

GRAND   RAPIDS  ALUMNAE 

On  April  17  the  Grand  Rapids  Associa- 
tion of  Michigan  Alumnae  met  for  its 
fourth  annual  luncheon  in  the  Association 
of  Commerce  Building.  The  guests  of  tiic 
day  were  the  girls  from  Grand  Rapids  now 
attending  the  University  and  also  alumnae 
from  other  towns  in  Western  Michigan. 
After  a  short  informal  reception,  the 
alumnae  entered  the  dining  room  as  Miss 
Olga  E.  Shinkman,  'i3-'i4,  played  "The 
Victors,"  and  seated  themselves  at  small 
tables  decorated  with  yellow  and  blue.  EHir- 
ing  the  serving  of  luncheon  favorite  Mich- 
igan songs  were  sung.  The  president,  Miss 
Candace  W.  Reynolds,  AJM.  '04,  then  in- 
troduced informally  iMrs.  AUura  Ruidd 
Brooker,  'o7-'o8,  and  Miss  Georgien  E. 
Mogford,  '96.  Mrs.  Brooker  spoke  very  in- 
terestingly of  her  work  with  girls  and  wo- 
men at  the  Sears-Roebuck  Company,  Chi- 
cago, as  head  of  the  social  welfare  work, 
while  Miss  Mogford  described  her  life  in 
rural  Virginia,  where  she  is  an  active 
member  of  the  league  which  is  doing  much 
to  better  rural  school  conditions  through- 
out that  state.  The  luncheon,  which  was  a 
great  success,  closed  with  the  singing  of 
**The  Yellow  and  the  Blue." 

The  Grand  Rapids  Association  aims  to 
keep  in  close  touch  with  the  University,  and 
hopes  that  all  alumnae  in  Western  Michigan 
will  help  them  to  form  a  larger  organiza- 
tion to  further  the  interests  of  their  Alma 
Mater.

MARQUETTE 

The  regular  annual  meeting  of  the  Mar- 
"Quette  County  Alumni  Association  of  the 
University  of  Michigan  was  held  at  the 
Marquette  Cltib  in  Miarquette  on  April  7, 
191 5,  and  was  preceded  by  a  luncheon.  The 
^uest  of  honor  was  Professor  Thomas  C. 
Trueblood,  who  spoke  abput  the  growth  of 
the  University  and  its  future.  He  also  re- 
viewed the  history  of  the  debating  teams 
of  Michigan,  together  with  the  splendid 
•success  of  its  orators,  and  dwelt  upon  the 
athletic  situation.  As  a  railroad  attorney, 
Albert  E.  Miller,  '83,  called  upon  Professor 
Trueblood  to  give  the  history  of  the  famous 
locomotive  yell,  which  the  Professor  thor- 
oughly explained  and  afterwards  led  the 
meeting  in  the  yell,  in  which  all  joined, 
from  the  youngest  to  the  oldest  alumnus. 
Professor  Trueblood  was  very  well  received 
"by  the  alumni  of  the  County  and  was  mad« 
an  honorary  member  of  this  Association.  At 
the  conclusion  of  Professor  Trueblood's  re- 
marks a  brief  meeting  -was  held,  and  the 
following  officers  were  all  uixanimously 
elected:  president.  Dan  H.  Ball,  'so-'sS, 
i'6o-'6i ;  vice-president,  Thomas  Clancey,  '08, 
*io/;  secretary,  Joseph  H.  Primeau,  Jr.,  '10/, 
m'99-*oo;  treasurer,  Harlow  A.  Clark,  '08/. 

Joseph  H.  Primeau,  '10/,  m'pg-'oo,  Thomas 
Clancey,  'o8i,  *io/,  and  Dr.  George  M.  Bel- 
humcr,  *o8m,  were  appointed  on  a  commit- 
tee to  arrange  for  a  joint  picnic  with  the 
altmini  of  all  other  colleges  and  universi- 
ties in  the  County.  This  picnic  is  to  be 
held  at  Presque  Isle  at  Marquette,  Mich- 
igan, sometime  during  the  coming  summer. 

The  meeting  proved  to  be  the  best  that 
has  been  held  in  the  County  so  far  and 
gives  assurance  that  the  Association  will 
be  very  active  in  the  future.     There  were 


twenty  present  and  the  meeting  was  pre- 
sided over  hy  D.  H.  Ball,  '56-'57,  /'6o-'6i,

NEW  YORK  CITY 

On  April  gth  the  memhers  of  the  1912 
class  living  in  New  York  City  got  together 
for  a  dinner  at  Cokizzi's.  It  was  remark- 
afbly  successful,  fourteen  men  turning  out; 
practically  every  1912  man  in  New  York. 

After  the  dinner  the  diners  journeyed  en 
masse  to  Keen's  Chop  House  where  the 
University  of  Michigan  Club  of  New  York 
was  'holding  a  smoker.  The  1912  class, 
known  as  5ie  liveliest  Michigan  class  in 
New  York  City,  easily  lived  up  to  its  repu- 
tation. There  was  no  limit  to  the  ginger 
and  snap  and  old  "pep"  on  tap. 

The  fourteen  present  were,  A.  Joseph 
Seltzer,  '13,  '13/;  Isaac  Neger,  '12^;  Jervis  B. 
Webb,  *i2f;  Arthur  'H.  Morrison,  12^; 
Frank  W.  Pennell,  '12;  Jeremiah  J.  Collins, 
12^;  Dr.  John  J.  McDermott,  '14A;  Dr. 
Lawrence  H.  Roblee,  '12/t,  'o7-'oi8;  Glenn  E. 
Cullen,  '12,  'i^e;  Bruce  Beardsley,  'i2e; 
William  H.  Harden,  'T2e;  Evans  E.  A. 
Stone;  '12;  Harry  H.  Steinhaiiscr,  *i'2e;  and 
Werner  S.  Allison,  '12. 

Under  date  of  April  9,  our  own  Samuel 
Pepys,  in  other  wordjs,  F.  P.  Adams,  '99-'oa 
A.M.  (hon.)  '14,  writes:  "At  my  scriven- 
ing  until  evening,  and  then  to  a  chop-house, 
where  E.  May  and  E.  Worden  and  Stanley 
McGraw  did  act  in  a  coledge-play  that  Stan- 
ley wrote,  and  not  ineptly  neither ;  and  E. 
May's  antics  were  so  droll  that  I  did  laugh 
perforce,  and  so  did  Will  McAndrew  and 
H.  Chickering,  solemn  lads  though  they  be." 

This  play,  deemed  worthy  of  immortal- 
ization by  the  modern  Samuel,  was  "Every- 
michiganman,"  set  forth  by  the  Michigan 
Club  of  New  York,  at  Keen's  Chop  House, 
April  9.  191 5.  It  was  labeled  a  dramatic 
cantata,  the  book  and  lyrics  by  Ed.  May, 
'00  (Samuel  Pepys  to  the  contrary,  not- 
withstanding), the  cast  collaborating,  "mu- 
sic swiped  from  various  sources." 

The  cast  was  as  follows:

NEW  YORK  ALUMNAE 

An  anniversary  party  at  the  home  of  the 
Women's  University  Club  of  New  York  at 
106  East  52nd  Street,  was  the  unique  fea- 
ture wWch  characterized  the  annual  meet- 
ing of  the  University  of  Michigan  Women's 
Club  of  New  York. 

Forty  years  ago,  Dr.  Eliza  M.  Mosher, 
'75»»,  was  -granted  her  M.D.  degree  irom 
the  University  of  Michigan,  which  event 
the  Club  fittingly  celebrated  on  April  17 
with  a  surprise  anniversary  party  for  Mich- 
igan's beloved  first  women's  dean. 

A  short  business  meeting  preceded  the 
festivities  of  the  day,  when  the  following 
officers  were  elected :  president,  Mrs.  Don- 
ald D.  Van  Slyke,  '07;  first  vice-president. 
Miss  Florence  Sunderland,  '03 ;  second  vice- 
president,  Dr.  Eliza  M.  Mosher.  '75m;  third 
vice  presidient,  Miss  Gertrude  Budg  '94,  M.S. 
'95,  Ph.D.,  '99;  recording  secretary,  Mrs. 
Frederick  J.  Austin,  '94-*95»  '96-'97;  corre- 
sponding secretary,  Miss  Gerdia  M.  Oker- 
land,  'io-'i2;  treasurer,  Miss  E.  Josephine 
Rice,  '04;  auditor,  I>r.  Lida  B.  Earhart,  '01. 

The  Club  voted  to  establish  a  loan  fund 
of  fifty  dollars  to  be  known  as  the  "Eliza 
M.  Mos-her  Scholarship"  which  will  be 
available  for  needy  women  students  at  Ann 
Arbor. 

Dr.  Lida  B.  Earhart,  'or,  who  had  charge 
of  the  program,  introduced  Mrs.  Fritz  C. 
Hyde,  'oom,  who  gave  a  number  of  amus- 
ing reminiscences  of  Dr.  Mosher's  res- 
idence at  Ann  Arbor,  and  she  emphasized 
the  dean's  sisterly  love  and  interest  in  every 
girl  in  college  which  many  of  the  members 
present  had  experienced. 

As  a  fitting  memento  of  the  day,  Miss 
Florence  Sunderland,  '03,  in  behalf  of  the 
Club,  presented  Dr.  Mosher  with  a  beau- 
tiful brooch. 

Miss  Ellen  E.  Oarrigues,  '89,  A.M.,  '93, 
then  read  her  delightful  poem  which  ex- 
pressed in  graceful,  poetic  language  the 
love  and  appreciation  of  all  for  Dr.  Mosher. 

The  well  known  tune,  "Michigan,  My 
Michigan,"  was  skillfully  used  by  Miss 
Helen  E.  Bacon,  '92,  in  the  following  song 
which  was  heartily  sung  by  all  and  gave  the 
genuine  note  of  merriment  to  the  occasion. 

Come  sing  with  me  a  joyous  lay  I 

Vive  Dr.  Mosher  I 
For  her  we  celebrate  this  day, 

Vive  Dr.  Mosher! 
Forty  years  of  woe  and  weal 
Since  a  maid  with  fervent  zeal 
She  started  out  the  world  to  heal, 

Vive  Dr.  Mosher  1 


In  forty  years  the  germs  she's  killMl 

Vive  Dr.  Mosher  I 
The  babes  she's  brought,  the  folks  she's  pilled  t 

Vive  Dr.  Mosher  I 
But  '*borne  through  sorrow,  wrong  and  ruth 
On  her  lips  the  smile  of  truth, 
And  in  her  heart  the  dew  of  youth." 

Vive  Dr.  Mosher  I 

Long  may  she  live  to  grace  this  day ! 

Vive  Dr.  Mosher  I 
Yet  forty  years  I'd  like  to  say, 

Vive  Dr.  Mosher; 
Except  that  long  ere  they  have  flown. 
The  rest  of  us  all  would  be  gone 
And  she'd  be  left  here  all  alone, 

I<onely  Dr.  Mosher  1 

No  birthday  party  is  complete  without  a 
cake  and  candles,  an<i  the  large  cake  orna- 
mented with  forty  lighted  candles,  which 
adorned  the  tea  table,  gave  the  real  festive 
touch  to  the  party.  After  making  the  cus- 
tomary three  wishes,  Dr.  Mosher  blew  out 
candles,  cut  the  cake  for  all,  and  a  happy 
social  hour  followed,

PHILADELPHIA 

The  regular  annual  banquet  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  Michigan  Club  of  Philadelphia 
was  held  at  the  St.  James  Hotel,  Philadel- 
phia, on  Friday  evening,  April  16.  The 
banquet  hall  and  tables  were  tastefully  dec- 
orated for  the  occasion  with  flowers  and 
ferns  and  the  Michigan  colors.  The  Club 
entertained  as  guests  for  the  evening  Shir- 
ley W.  Smith,  '97,  AM.  '00,  Secretary  of 
the  University,  and  William  McAndrew,  *SS^ 
principal  of  the  Washington  Irving  High 
School  of  New  York  City.  Aiter  a  tempt- 
ing menu,  the  *1)oys,*'  of  classes  ranging 
from  three  to  thirty  years  ago,  made  the 
ball  ring  with  Michigan  yells  and  Michigan 
songs,  includang,  of  course,  ''The  Yellow 
and  the  Blue."  "The  Victors,"  and  many 
others.  The  latter  part  of  the  evening  was 
devoted  to  the  usual  "toasting."  T.  Louis 
Comparette,  '93,  as  toastmaster,  kept  things 
moving  in  a  lively  and  highly  agreeable 
manner.  Mr.  Smith,  an  ever  welcome  vis- 
itor to  the  Club,  gave  a  very  interestinjg 
talk  upon  present  day  affairs  of  the  Uni- 
versity, her  growth  and  development,  em- 
phasizing the  fact  that  after  all  the  vital 
element  in  the  make-up  of  a  university  is 
men, — strong,  courageous,  able  men.  Mich- 
igan has  them.  He  also,  with  the  use  of  2 
lantern,  threw  upon  a  screen  a  number  of 
views  of  the  university  Campus  and  build- 
ings, accompanying  the  exhibition  with  in- 
teresting comment  upon  the  many  changes 
and  improvements  which  have  taken  place 
within  recent  years. 

Mr.  McAndrew,  being  called  upon  for  0 
speech,  responded  with  a  well  rounded  ad- 
<£ress,  at  times  replete  with  wit  and  humor^

URBANA.  ILL. 

The  University  of  Michigan  Club  of  the 
University  of  Illinois,  held  its  annual  din- 
ner in  the  cafeteria  of  the  Woman's  Build- 
ing, Tuesday  evening,  March  30,  1915. 

Preceding  the  dinner  a  short  reception 
was  (held  in  one  of  the  parlors  of  the  build*- 
ing.  Thirty  members  of  the  club  were 
present.  The  dinner  was  served  at  small 
tables,  and  arrangements  were  so  madfe  that 
by  a  change  of  place  between  courses,  each 
member  found  himself,  during  the  succeed- 
ing course,  one  of  an  entirely  new  group  of 
people.  This  proved  a  pleasant  means  of 
getting  better  acquainted. 

Dr.  C.  B.  Johnson,  m*66-*&7,  president  of 
the  club,  and  a  most  loyal  (Michigan  man, 
presided  at  the  banquet  and  acted  as  toast- 
master.  Toasts  were  responded  to  by  Dr. 
E.  J.  Townsend,  Ph.  M.  '91;  Miss  Lurene 
Seymour,  '95;  Miss  Vida  Lw  Collins,  '07; 
Dr.  E.  G.  C.  Williams.  'lom;  and  by  the 
guest  of  'honor.  Dr.  K.  C.  Babcock,  Dean  of 
the  College  of  Liberal  Arts  and  Sciences  of 
the  University  of  Illinois.  These  toasts 
were  followed  by  several  choice  victrola 
numbers  provided  by  F.  M.  Leslie,  '01^, 
treasurer  of  the  club.  Finally,  the  singing 
of  **The  Yellow  and  Blue"  marked  the 
close  of  the  occasion.

OBITUARIES 


BENJAMIN  FRANKUN  BLAIR 

Benjamin  Franklin  Blair,  whose  death 
was  recorded  in  the  March  Ai^umnus,  was 
born  in  Constantine,  Mich.,  June  19,  1837. 
He  began  his  active  life  as  a  mechanic,  pay- 
ing his  way  through  the  University,  from 
which  he  was  graduated  in  1861,  by  working 
at  the  bench.  At  the  outbreak  of  the  Civil 
War  he  enlisted  in  the  Union  Army  as  a 
private.  Following  the  battle  of  Winches- 
ter, in  1863,  he  was  for  fifteen  months  a 
prisoner,  escaping  finally  from  the  prison 
camp  at  Columbia,  S.  Car.,  and  fighting  his 
way  north  until  he  reached  the  Union  lines 
at  Knoxville,  Tenn.  Mr.  Blair  was  also  a 
prisoner  in  Libby  Prison  for  a  short  time, 
and  at  the  close  of  the  war  was  mustered 
out  as  a  captain.  He  then  engaged  in  the 
practice  of  law  in  Manhattan,  taking  up  his 
residence  in  Brooklyn,  N.  Y.  in  i^.  Al- 
ways a  Republican  in  politics,  Mr.  Blair 
was  active  in  the  reorganization  of  the 
partj'  in  Kings  County  in  1893,  but  never 
held  office  save  as  Commissioner  of  Elec- 
tions under  former  Mayor  Charles  A. 
Schieren.  Eight  years  ago  he  moved  to 
Glen  Ridge,  N.  J.,  where  he  died  on  March 
I,  1915.  Mr.  Blair  was  a  member  of  many 
clubs,  and  was  long  a  member  of  the  board 
of  trustees  of  Plymouth  Church,  Brooklyn. 
He  was  a  member  of  Grant  Post,  No.  327, 
G.  A.  R.,  and  of  the  Military  Order  of  the 
Loyal  Legion.  He  is  survived  by  his  widow 
and  two  sons,  John  N.  Blair,  '88,  and  Frank 
Ross  Blair,  *97-'99,  *oo-'oi. 

The  New  York  University  of  Michigan 
Club,  of  which  Mr.  Blair  had  been  a  long 
and  faithful  member,  passed  the  following 
resolutions  on  his  death : 

The  University  of  Michigan  Club  of  New  York 
mourns  the  loss  of  one  of  its  earliest  members 
and  loyal  supporters,  in  the  death  of  Beniamin 
Franklin  Blair  at  his  residence  in  Glen  Ridg^e, 
New  Jersey,  on  March  i,  1915,  in  his  seventy- 
eighth  year. 

One  of  the  oldest  graduates  of  the  University, 
which  he  loved  and  honored  so  dearly,  his  life 
had  fulfilled  the  service  of  a  Christian  gentleman. 

Of  the  class  of  '6t,  he  was  at  once  called  upon 
bv  enlistment  in  defense  of  the  principles  of  the 
TJnion  for  a  test  of  those  qualities  of  character, 
which  were  embodied  in  his  subsequent  long, 
happy,   and   successful   career. 

Resuming  the  peaceable  duties  of  a  citizenship 
which  has  been  reflected  in  a  kindly,  honorable, 
and  loving  remembrance  of  worth v  and  construc- 
tive labor,  he  had,  for  more  than  forty  years, 
rendered  a  distinctive  service,  as  a  member  of  the 
New  York  Bar,  to  his  profession  and  the  com- 
munity, in  his  devotion  to  his  high  ideals. 

In  all  his  public  and  private  relations,  his  life 
was  sweet  and  helpful  to  h"s  fellow-men. 

Kindljr  and  gentle  in  manner,  charitable  and 
faithful  in  devotion,  he  was  full  of  hope  and 
free  from   every  clement  of  opportunism. 

In  recognition  and  remembrance  of  all  those 
qualities  cf  heart  and  mind,  which  endeared  him 


to  the  members  of  this  Club,  this  expression  of 
love   is    spread   upon   the    minutes   and  our   sym- 
pathy offered  to  his  famiW  in  their  bereavement.

WILLIAM  MATHEWS  CARRIER 

William. Mathews  Carrier,  '73,  died  sud- 
denly at  his  home  in  Flint,  Michigan,  Feb- 
ruary 10,  1915.  Few  graduates  of  the  Uni- 
versity enjoyed  so  wide  an  acquaintance 
with  the  older  alumni  as  did  Mr.  Carrier, 
and  his  presence  will  be  sadly  missed  by 
many  at  future  Commencements  and  class 
reunions.  He  had  been  secretary  of  his 
class  since  graduation,  and  certainly  no 
other  class  had  a  more  energetic,  earnest 
and  enthusiastic  secretarpr.  Always  ready 
to  give  liberally  of  his  tinae  and  means  to 
keep  in  touch  with  the  individual  members 
of  his  class,  his  active  interest  ensured  a 
large  attendance  at  each  reunion. 

Mr.  Carrier  was  born  in  Flint,  February 
25,  1852,  and  was  graduated  from  the  high 
school  of  that  city  in  1869,  entering  the 
University  in  the  fall  of  that  year,  with  the 
class  of  1873.  For  a  few  years  after  leav- 
ing the  University,  he  taught  in  the  high 
schools  of  Flint  and  Fenton,  and  subse- 
quently took  the  law  course  at  Boston  Uni- 
versity, receiving  the  degree  of  LL.B.  in 
1876.  That  same  year  he  also  received  the 
A.M  degree  from  the  University.  After 
practicing  law  for  some  years  in  Flint,  he 
retired  from  active  practice,  and  engaged 
in  the  real  estate  business.  For  some  years 
past  Mr.  Carrier  had  devoted  much  of  his 
time  to  travel.  There  is  scarcely  a  city  of 
any  importance  in  the  world  that  he  had 
not  visited,  and  he  had  circled  the  globe 
twice,  returning  from  his  last  trip  only  last 
November.  At  the  time  of  his  death  he 
was  planning  a  trip  to  Siberia  for  the  com- 
inp  fall. 

The  announcement  of  Mr.  Carrier's 
death  was  keenly  felt  by  the  writer,  who 
was  his  classmate  through  all  the  grades  of 
the  public  schools,  and  his  roommate  during 
the  four  years  at  the  University.  During 
all  these  years  of  close  intimacy,  as  well 
as  during  the  years  since  graduation,  there 
was  never  a  break  in  the  friendship,  and  the 
memory  of  his  loyalty,  kindness  and  cheer- 
ful comradeship  will  soften,  in  a  measure^ 
the  shock  of  his  sudden  death. 

W.  F.  Clarke.

John  William  Chambers,  whose  death 
was  recorded  in  the  March  Alumnus,  was

which  office  he  held  until  ill  health  forced

JOSEPH  WARREN  WOOD 

Joseph  Warren  Wood  was  bom  in  Brook- 
field,  Madison  Co.,  N.  Y.,  July  5,  1826.  In 
1838  his  parents  moved  to  Ft  Dearbom, 
111.,  and  a  year  later  to  Walworth,  Wis., 
where  he  grew  to  manhood  on  a  farm,  while 
his  father  practiced  medicine.  He  studied 
medicine  for  one  year  under  his  father,  but 
later  took  up  the  study  of  law,  and  in  1848 
he  was  admitted  to  the  bar.  The  next  year, 
attracted  by  the  reports  of  gold  discoveries, 
he  went  to  California.  He  remained  in 
California  for  three  years,  when  he  re- 
turned to  Walworth  County  and  engaged 
in  farming.  In  1854  he  was  married  to 
Mary  Powell  Wilson,  of  Lebanon,  la.,  who 
died  in  1863,  leaving  five  children,  and  in 
1864  he  was  married  to  Fanny  Forward 
Waters,  of  Winfield,  Wis.,  who,  with  two 
sons,  survive  him.  In  1857,  he  sold  his 
farm,  and  moved  to  Ann  Arbor,  where  he 
entered  the  University,  graduating  in  1861 
with  the  degrees  of  B.S.  and  C.E.  The 
next  year  he  secured  the  degree  of  master 
of  science.  Upon  the  completion  of  his 
studies  he  removed  to  a  farm  in  Wiscon- 
sin, later  engaging  in  the  lumber  business 
in  Wood  Co.,  Wis.  In  1870  he  moved  to 
Baraboo,  Wis.,  where  for  twenty-five  years 
he  was  a  successful  scientific  farmer.  He 
contributed  many  articles  to  various  publi- 
cations, and  delivered  many  addresses  be- 
fore agricultural  societies  of  the  State.  Mr. 
Wood  was  a  strong  advocate  of  temper- 
ance, being  for  thirty-one  years  an  honor- 
ary member  of  the  W.  C.  T.  U.,  and  con- 
tributed frequent  articles  to  the  religious 
press  of  the  country.  In  1895  he  moved  to 
Sumner,  Wash.,  in  order  to  be  near  his 
sons,  where  he  had  since  lived.  He  died  on 
December  20,  1914,  and  was  buried  in  the 
Sumner  cemetery.

THE  REDISCOVERED  COUNTRY 

In  this  book  Stewart  Edward  White  again 
takes  the  reader  into  his  latest  field  of  trav- 
el and  exploration,  East  Africa.  "The  Re- 
discovered Country"  proved  to  be  the  last 
virgin  field  for  the  big  game  hunter,  a  tract 


of  land  west  of  Victoria  Nyanza  in  German 
East  Africa,  almost  as  large  as  the  big  game 
fields  in  the  adjacent  British  possessions. 
Here,  behind  a  barrier  of  desert  and  moun- 
tain, he  found  a  sportsman's  paradise  which 
had  never  heard  the  sound  of  a  gun.    Prac-

tically  all  the  varieties  of  African  big  game 
were  found,  many  species  proving  hardly 
afraid  of  the  hunter.  The  book  is  written 
in  the  form  of  a  diary,  giving  in  Mr. 
White's  most  graphic  style  the  events  of  the 
trip  from  day  to  day. 

While  some  readers  may  miss  the  easy 
flow  of  narrative  shown  in  his  earlier  books, 
"The  Land  of  Foot  Prints,"  and  "African 
Camp  Fires,"  the  detailed  and  conscientious 
descriptions,  which  even  include  the  daily 
temperatures,  will  be  welcomed  by  those  in- 
terested in  the  scientific  side  of  his  explora- 
tions. Most  of  the  country  is  practically 
unexplored.  The  Germans  are  not  hun- 
ters, and  the  district  is  far  from  their  set- 
tlements about  Victoria  Nyanza. 

A  series  of  appendices  give  careful  di- 
rections as  to  how  to  reach  this  country 
and  the  best  outfit  to  carry  with  one.  Mr. 
White  even  gives  a  detailed  report  of  the 
results  reached  with  different  guns.  A  care- 
ful list  of  the  game  seen  is  included,  as 
well  as  an  interesting  discussion  of  that  per- 
ennial topic  amonp;  explorers,  the  theory  of 
protective  coloration.  The  itinerary  is  in- 
dicated on  an  inserted  map.

THE  DOCTRINE  OF  JUDIQAL  REVIEW- 
ITS  LEGAL  AND  HISTORICAL 
BASIS 

This  volume  comprises  five  essays  in  the 
field  of  Constitutional  Law,  the  first  of 
which,  giving  the  title  to  the  book,  appeared 
in  substantially  its  present  form  in  the 
Michigan  Law  Review.  The  author  exam- 
ines Marbury  v.  Madison  and  concludes 
that  the  logic  of  the  decision  is  not  com- 
pelling, and  in  it  Chief  Justice  Marshall 
made  a  bold  partisan  stand,  the  results  have 
been  for  good.  Chief  Justice  Taney  is 
strongly  criticized  for  another  partisan  de- 
cision in  the  essay  on  the  Dred  Scott  case, 
reprinted  from  the  American  Historical  Re- 
view. In  the  "Pelatiah  Webster  Myth"  the 
favorite  contention  of  Mr.  Hannis  Taylor 
is  discredited,  one  would  think,  quite  be- 
yond rehabilitation.  The  essay  on  "We,  the 
People"  is  an  exathination  of  the  conflict- 
ing theories  of  Webster  and  Calhoun.  The 
final  article  on  "Some  Possibilities  in  the 
Way  of  Treaty  Making"  is  an  excellent 
supplement  to  Professor  Corwin's  work  on 
"National  Supremacy."  All  of  these  essays 
show  careful  and  scholarly  preparation  with 
that  originality  of  treatment  and  breadth  of 
view  which  Professor  Corwin  had  previous- 
ly led  his  readers  to  expect.  J.  S.  R. 

The  Doctrine  of  Judicial  Review :  Its  Legal 
and  Historical  Basis,  and  other  Essays,  by 


BY  AND  LARGE 

If  Horace  could  have  chosen  the  person- 
ality in  whom  he  would  be  reincarnated  in 
our  time,  I  am  inclined  to  think  that  his 
choice  might  have  fallen  upon  that  prince 
of  "Colyum"  writers  affectionately  known 
to  hwidred  of  thousands  of  readers  as  F. 
P.  A.  Despite  the  brutal  modernity  of  Mr. 
Adams's  diction,  despite  the  extravagance, 
the  cheekiness  of  his  parody,  his  Horatian 
renderings  somehow  bring  one  nearer  to 
the  urbane  humor  of  the  old  Roman  than 
any  of  the  translations — nearer  also  (me 
judice)  than  the  Echoes  of  Eugene  Field.* 
Strolling  over  the  Sabine  Farm  last  sum- 
mer, Horace  in  hand— or  at  any  rate  in  the 
hand  of  a  learned  classmate — I  found  the 
verses  of  Tobogganing  on  Parnassus  play- 
ing a  whimsical  obligato  to  the  Latin  num- 
bers: 

"Nix  on  the  Persian  pretense  1 
Myrtle  lor  Quintus  H.  Flaccus!" 

And  instead  of  being  annoyed  and  disillu- 
sioned by  the  incongruity,  I  merely  said  to 
myself,  "How  that  would  have  tickled  Hor- 
ace." Horace  would  have  enjoyed  too  this 
stanza  from  By  and  Large : 

"The  backbone  of  winter  is  broken; 

The  river  is  running  with  shad; 

The  phrases  of  baseball  are  spoken 

In  pictures  by  Briggs  or  by  Tad. 

The  cattle  come  out  of  the  stable; 

The  nymphs  do  the  dip  and  the  swing; 
The  rhubarb  appears  on  the  table; 
In  short,  it  is  spring." 

In  the  non-Horatian  verses  not  the  least 
of  the  author's  charms  is  an  almost  diabol- 
ical ingenuity  in  rhyming  and  other  metri- 
cal effects.  He  delights  in  impossible  tasks, 
as  when  he  rhymes  a  list  of  unrhymeable 
words : 

"Words  are  but  a  showy  pageant; 
Bards  are  finishers  of  language 
Unionlaboring— canst   imagine't?— 
For  a  small  and  daily  gang-wage." 

Or  by  sheer  audacity  extricates  himself  at 
the  last  moment  from  a  hopeless  situation: 

"Pavlowal  than  Lilian  more  airyl 

Pavlowa!  Terpsichore's  self! 
Thou  sprite,  hamadryad,  and  fairy, 

Thou  pixie,  thou  sylph,  and  thou  elf  I 
I  think  of  thee  strong  as  the  panther 

And  light  as  the  will-o*-the  wisp; 
I  think  thou'rt(beHevc  me)thome  danther — 
Please  pardon  my  lisp." 

The  fun  is  often  fast  and  furious  and  the 
slang  so  up-to-date  as  to  be  unintelligible 
to  anyone  who  has  been  away  from  New

York  for  forty-eight  hours.  But  a  serene 
and  wholesome  temper  suffuses  it  all  and 
an  occasional  more  sober  stanza  shows  what 
the  satirist  could  do  if  he  took  the  button 
from  his  foil: 

"Bright  saffron  sheets  of  crime  and  strife, 
The  wildest  of  our  hectic  life, 
How  many,  many  times  a  day 
Ye  have  your  96-point  say! 
The  papers  come,  the  papers  go. 
The  circulations  wane  and  grow — 
This  be  your  slogan,  an  ye  burst: 
*For  God,  for  Country,  and  for  Hearst  I'  " 


To  crumple  at  least  a  single  rose-leaf, 
let  me  add  that  I  do  not  like  at  all  the  pil- 
lorying of  a  certain  Vassar  student  on  page 
25.  A  passing  rebuke  was  well  enough,  but 
to  give  to  the  incident  the  permanence  of 
the  printed  book  was  really  too  bad.  Per- 
sius  might  have  done  it,  but  not  Horace.

injunction  to  restrain  the  illegal  acts  of  the 
Reclamation  Service  in  assessing  any  charges 
as  cost  of  a  project  or  for  operation  and  main- 
tenance of  a  project  that  they  might  see  fit,  and, 
if  the  settler  refused  to  pay.  shutting  off  the 
water  and  so  ruining  his  land.  The  opinion  of 
Judge  Sanboruj  of  the  United  States  Court  of 
Appeals,  establishes  the  right  of  the  water  user 
to  seek  the  protection  of  the  courts,  a  right  which 
the  Reclamation  Service  had  denied,  declaring 
themselves  immune  from  prosecution  for  their 
acts.  According  to  the  "Irrigation  Ape,"  which 
discusses  the  case  at  length  and  prints  Judge 
Sanborn's  opinion  in  full  in  its  January  issue,  the 
case  will  undoubtedly  be  appealed  to  the  Supreme 
Court  for  final  decision.

To  the  Class  of  1910: 

In  view  of  the  adoption  by  the  class  of  the 
Dix  Plan  of  reunions,  the  fifth  anniversary  of  the 
graduation  of  the  class  will  not  be  formally  ob- 
served this  June — at  least  by  the  19x0  lits.  There 
is  some  feeling  among  the  members  that  too  fre- 
quent meetings  would  onlv  detract  from  the  mag- 
nitude and  the  pleasure  of  the  Dix  Plan  reunions. 
t*residcnt  Good  agrees  with  this  conclusion,  but 
joins  the  secretaries  in  the  reminder  to  members 
of  the  class  that  those  who  may  be  able  to  return 
to  the  campus  at  Commencement  will  undoubtedly 
find  a  considerable  number  of  classmates  ready  for 
a  friendly  gathering.

S%  On  Your  Savings 

In  investing  the  money  you  save  there  are  two  principal  things  to  be 
considered — Safety  and  Interest. 

The  First  Mortgage  Real  Estate  Bonds  sold  by  this  Company  afford  un- 
questioned safety — they  are  legal  investments  for  Trust  Funds,  and  they  pay 
5  %  net  interest,  free  from  taxation,  a  higher  rate  than  can  be  obtained  else- 
where with  equal  safety. 

The  Bonds  can  be  bought  in  denominations  from  $50  to  |l,000  to  suit  your 
convenience.  Each  Bond  is  the  direct  obligation  of  the  owner  of  one  specific 
piece  of  property,  giving  the  investor  a  tangible  security. 

The  U.  of  M.  Alumni  Association  has  invested  in  these  Bonds  for  its  En- 
dowment Fund.

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[June 


EVENT  AND  COMMENT 


For  the  most  part  we 
MICHIGAN  IN  in  America,  particu- 
THE  GREAT  WAR  lady  in  the  Middle 
West,  have  been 
spared  those  terrible  personal  con- 
tacts with  the  great  European  war, 
of  which  everyone  in  Europe  is  con- 
scious. But  that  fact  does  not  take 
away  from  the  vitality  of  the  interest 
with  which  everyone,  particularly  in 
such  a  community  as  centers  about  the 
University,  follows  the  contemporary 
events  which  are  fashioning  history 
so  rapidly.  As  has  been  suggested,  we 
in  America,  through  our  distance  and 
our  less  personal  point  of  view,  can 
acquire  something  of  the  same  per- 
spective and  detachment  which  is  the 
only  true  solvent  for  history.  We  may 
have  a  considerably  truer  idea  of  the 
meaning  of  these  contemporary  events 
than  those  whose  very  existences  are 
inextricably  interwoven  with  the  mesh 
of  war.  CI  But  the  personal  element  is 
not  entirely  lacking  to  the  University, 
as  the  pictures  and  letters  published 
in  this  number  of  The  Alumnus 
show.  Professor  Talamon  has  a  wide 
circle  of  friends  in  the  University, 
both  among  the  Faculty  and  his  form- 
er students,  and  his  letter  will  be 
something  of  a  personal  greeting  to 
all  of  them.  Mr.  Zinn  graduated 
only  last  year  from  the  Engineering 
College.  Besides  men  in  the  trenches 
on  both  sides,  Michigan  is  also  repre- 
sented among  the  correspondents.  S. 
Beach  Conger,  *oo,  A.M.  '03,  is  in 
charge  of  the  Associated  Press  in 
Berlin,  while  Paul  Scott  Mowrer,  '05- 
'08,  is  London  representative  oit  the 
Chicago  Nezvs.  Edgar  Mowrer,  his 
brother,  has  also  been  writing  from 
France,  where  he  has  seen  something 
of  the  actualities  of  war,  as  a  recent 
article  in  Collier's  by  Gelett  Burgess 
indicates.  The  letters  of  James 
O'Donnell  Bennett,  '93,  from  Germ- 
any, appearing  originally  in  the  Chica- 
go Tribune,  are  well  known. 


Characteristic  of  uni- 
FOUR  RESIG.  versity  life  is  its 
NATIONS  change.  Not  the  Uni- 

versity itself  —  that 
always  remains,  growing  and  expand- 
ing, but  essentially  the  same.  It  is, 
rather,  the  students,  who  come  and  go 
so  rapidly  that  the  graduate  of  four 
years'  standing  finds  himself  almost  in 
a  new  community.  Less  marked  is  a 
corresponding  change  in  the  Faculty. 
Every  year  we  have  to  record  with 
great  regret  the  resignation  of  certain 
members  of  the  Faculty,  and  with  a 
corresponding  pleasure  we  welcome 
new  ones.  At  recent  meetings  of  the 
Regents,  four  resignations  have  been 
tendered  and  accepted.  CI,  Professor 
John  S.  P.  Tatlock,  of  the  Department 
of  English,  has  tendered  his  resigna- 
tion, to  take  effect  at  the  end  of  the 
present  college  year,  in  order  to  accept 
the  Chair  of  English  Philology  at  Le- 
land  Stanford  University,  succeeding 
the  late  Professor  Ewald  Fleugel,  who 
died  last  fall.  Professor  Tatlock  has 
been  connected  with  the  English  De- 
partment of  the  University  since  1897, 
serving  as  instructor  from  1897  to 
1901  and  from  1901  to  1903.  In  1905 
he  became  Assistant  Professor,  in 
1907,  Junior  Professor,  and  in  191 3 
he  was  appointed  to  a  full  professor- 
ship. Professor  Tatlock  is  a  graduate 
of  Harvard  University,  from  which 
he  holds  also  the  A.M.  and  Ph.D.  de- 
grees. His  loss  is  one  whiclT  the  Uni- 
versity will  find  it  well  nigh  impos- 
sible to  repair,  and  calls  attention  in  a 
striking  way  to  the  constant  attrition 
to  which  the  Faculty  of  the  University 
is  suffering  to  the  great  advantage  of 
other  universities.  The  list  of  the 
men  which  the  University  has  lost  in 
the  past  few  years  includes  leaders  in 
almost  every  field  of  learning  in  Amer- 
ica today.  Ct  Professor  James  P.  Bird, 
Secretary  of  the  Colleges  of  Engineer- 
ing and  Architecture,  and  Head  of  the 
Romance  Language  Department  in  the

Colleges,  has  also  accepted  a  position 
as  Professor  of  Romance  Languages 
at  Carleton  College,  Northfield,  Minn. 
He  will  assume  his  new  duties  at  the 
beginning  of  the  next  college  year. 
Professor  Bird  came  to  the  Univer- 
sity in  1903  as  an  instructor  in  ro- 
mance languages,  and  in  1905  was  ap- 
pointed Secretary  of  the  Engineering 
College,  where  his  tact  and  efficiency 
have  been  recognized  both  by  his  col- 
leagues and  the  students.  (S.  At  the 
same  meeting  the  resignation  of  Pro- 
fessor S.  C.  Lind  as  Professor  of  Gen- 
eral and  of  Physical  Chemistry  was 
received  and  accepted.  Professor 
Lind  has  already  been  absent  from  the 
University  for  two  years  on  leave  as 
a  member  of  the  Denver  U.  S.  Bureau 
of  Mines  Experiment  Station,  where 
he  will  continue  his  work  on  radium. 
Mr.  Ralzemond  D.  Parker,  Assistant 
Professor  in  Electrical  Engineering, 
has  also  presented  his  resignation, 
which  was  received  and  accepted. 

Engineering  gradu- 
™"^JSS^^ates   should   welcome 

THE  ENGINEER-       ^,  ^  .1 

ING  SOCIETY  t"€  appearance  of  the 

Michigan  Technic  in 
a  new  and  attractive  guise,  quite  in 
keeping  with  its  official  status  as  the 
organ  of  the  Engineering  College. 
Published  at  once  in  the  interests  of 
the  alumni  and  of  the  students  of  the 
school,  it  aims  to  give  authoritative 
and  useful  articles  on  technical  sub- 
jects, as  well  as  whatever  news  of  the 
Engineering  College,  its  work  and  its 
graduates,  as  will  be  of  interest  to  its 
readers.  CI  In  carrying  out  this  ideal, 
the  three  numbers  which  have  already 
appeared  under  the  new  regime,  have 
published  a  large  number  of  well-pre- 
pared and  illustrated  articles  on  the 
practical  problems  in  the  various 
branches  of  engineering.  There  have 
also  appeared  a  well-prepared  series 
of  departmental  notes,  and  reports  of 
the  meetings  of  the  various  societies. 
A  department  devoted  to  the  alumni 
is  included  as  well.  €1^  This  change  in 


the  policy  of  the  Technic  dates  to  a  re- 
cent reorganization  of  the  Engineering 
Society,  which  had  also  come  upon 
days  of  desuetude.  The  different  de- 
partments of  the  Engineering  College 
were  going  their  separate  ways,  and 
the  average  engineer  found  nothing  in 
common  with  his  fellow  members  in 
the  general  meetings  of  this  Society. 
Steps  were  therefore  taken  to  organ- 
ize subsidiary  societies,  with  the 
result  that  now  there  are  four 
branches;  the  student  branch  of  the 
American  Institute  of  Electrical  Engi- 
neers, the  student  branch  of  the  Amer- 
ican Society  of  Mechanical  Engineers, 
the  local  branch  of  the  Chemical  Engi- 
neers, and  the  local  branch  of  the 
Civil  Engineers,  all  of  which  are  unit- 
ed into  the  General  Engineering  So- 
ciety, which  represents  the  school. 
Representatives  from  these  separate 
societies  form  the  board  in  control  at 
the  head  of  the  general  society,  which 
maintains  the  society  room  in  the  En- 
gineering Building  and  publishes  the 
Michigan  Technic,  a  subscription  to 
which  is  included  in  the  dues  to  the 
various  societies.  CI  The  quarterly  is- 
sues of  the  Technic  for  the  past  year 
bear  witness  to  the  effectiveness  of 
this  reorganization.  We  hope  this 
infusion  of  new  blood  and  new  ideals 
will  give  it  a  vitality  which  may  con- 
tinue. 

Among  the  acts 
ARCHrrECTSTO  passed  by  the  recent 
BE  REGISTERED  session  of  the  Michi- 
gan legislature  was 
one  introduced  by  Mr.  Leonard  D. 
Verdier,  '99,  '01/,  of  Grand  Rapids, 
signed  by  the  Governor,  providing  for 
the  registration  of  architects,  and  reg- 
ulating the  practice  of  architecture  as 
a  profession.  This  measure  has  a  pe- 
culiar interest  to  the  University.  It 
is  the  result  of  an  effort  which  has 
been  undertaken  by  the  College  of 
Architecture  to  increase  the  standing 
of  the  profession  in  the  State,  and 
contemplates  in  its  essentials  that  no

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[June 


one  who  is  not  properly  qualified  shall 
practice  under  the  title  of  "architect." 
€1^  The  bill  provides  that  no  person 
shall  use  the  title  or  any  variation 
after  six  months  subsequent  to  the 
passing  of  the  act  without  being  prop- 
erly registered,  though  those  who  have 
been  engaged  in  the  practice  of  archi- 
tecture prior  to  this  time  may  secure 
the  certificate  by  applying  to  the  Board 
of  Examiners  within  six  months.  The 
execution  of  the  law  rests  with  a 
board  of  examiners  which  is  to  be 
composed  of  architects  who  have  been 
in  active  practice  in  the  State  for  not 
less  than  ten  years,  with  the  special 
provision  that  the  senior  professor  of 
architecture  in  the  University  shall 
be  one  of  the  examiners.  The  exam- 
inations of  the  candidates  are  to  cover, 
first,  the  knowledge  of  the  candidate 
of  the  strength  of  materials,  construc- 
tion and  architectural  design,  as  well, 
in  the  second  place,  as  his  ability  to 
make  practical  application  of  this 
knowledge.  A  diploma  from  any  rec- 
ognized college  or  school  of  architec- 
ture whose  requirements  conform  to 
the  standard  of  the  Association  of 
Collegiate  Schools  of  Architecture 
will  be  accepted  as  regards  the  first 
part  of  the  examination,  but  all  candi- 
dates will  be  required  to  prove  their 
ability  to  make  practical  application  of 
their  knowledge.  (S.  The  benefits  of 
this  measure  are  obvious,  especially  as 
it  concerns  the  professional  standing 
of  the  graduates  of  the  architectural 
schools.  But  equally,  certain  ultimate 
benefits  will  come,  in  co-operation 
with  the  work  of  the  architectural 
schools,  from  the  gradual  elevation  of 
standards  in  the  erection  of  our  pub- 
lic and  private  buildings. 


A  FOUR  YEARS' 
COURSE  IN  LAW 


Quite  characteristic 
of  the  trend  of  mod- 
ern education  is  the 
increasing  insistence 
upon  more  thorough-going  preparation 
in  the  professions.    This  naturally  has 


had  its  reaction  upon  the  purely  acad- 
emic course,  which  finds  itself  crowd- 
ed from  above  by  the  professional 
schools,  and  by  the  increasing  de- 
mands of  secondary  education  from 
below.  The  problem,  however,  while 
having  its  difficulties,  is  by  no  means 
insolvable  Rather  it  means  a  re- 
adjustment of  our  conceptions  of  colle- 
giate and  university  courses.  (^  That 
this  reorganization  is  under  way 
the  steadily  increasing  requirements 
for  entrance  and  for  graduation  in  the 
professional  schools  indicate.  In  the 
April  number  of  The  Alumnus  Dean 
Bates,  of  the  Law  School,  pointed  out 
the  necessity  for  a  four  years*  course 
in  law.  At  the  May  meeting  of  the 
Regents,  this  course  was  authorized. 
The  Law  School  already  offers  suffi- 
cient strictly  professional  woric  to  keep 
a  student  busy  for  about  five  years. 
With  such  collateral  subjects  as  Ro- 
man Law  and  Jurisprudence,  and  the 
History  of  Law  included,  the  student 
might  be  kept  in  the  University  six 
years.  As  Dean  Bates  points  out  in 
his  official  communication  to  the  Re- 
gents, it  is  not  important  that  every 
student  take  all  of  these  courses,  but 
it  is  important  that  most  students  take 
more  of  them  than  can  be  obtained  in 
the  three  year  curriculum.  In  meeting 
this  difficulty  the  elective  system  has 
been  only  partially  successful.  The 
new  course  comes  finally  as  the  result 
of  long  discussion  and  the  appointment 
some  months  ago  of  a  committee  of 
five  to  consider  and  report  upon  the 
matter. 


THE  COMMTT- 
TEE'S  RECOM- 
MENDATIONS 


Four  recommenda- 
tions are  involved  in 
the  report  of  this 
committee,  which  was 
adopted  by  the  Law  Faculty  on  April 
9.  First,  in  view  of  the  rapid  raising 
of  entrance  requirements  and  stand- 
ards of  work  in  recent  years  the  four 
years'  law  course  is  not  to  be  made 
obligatory  at  once.  In  the  second  place.

the  Faculty  recommended  that  from 
courses  already  offered,  a  graded  and 
lojg^cally  arranged  four  year  course  be 
arranged,  which  would  include,  be- 
sides work  already  prescribed  in  the 
three  year  course,  the  following  re- 
quired subjects:  Roman  Law  and 
Comparative  Law,  Jurisprudence  and 
History  of  English  Law.  Students  in 
the  four  year  course  are  to  be  required 
to  earn  at  least  ninety-six  hours  of 
credit  in  order  to  receive  a  degree.  It 
is  also  recommended  that  students  who 
maintain  an  exceptionally  high  stand- 
ard in  three  quarters  of  their  subjects 
shall  be  granted  the  degree  of  Juris 
Doctor,  while  those  who  complete  the 
course  with  satisfactory  scholarship, 
but  not  the  exceptionally  high  stand- 
ard required  of  those  who  receive  the 
J.D.  degree,  shall  be  given  the  degree 
of  Master  of  Laws,  LL.M.  It  is  to 
be  noted  that  the  students  who  take 
two  years  in  college  and  four  years  in 
the  Law  School  are  considered  on  the 
same  basis,  as  far  as  degrees  in  the 
Law  School  are  concerned,  as  those 
who  take  three  years  in  college  and 
three  years  in  the  Law  School.  How- 
ever, those  who  take  the  four  years  in 
the  Law  School  will  not  receive  the 
academic  degree.  G.  This  action  on  the 
part  of  the  Law  School  and  the  Board 
of  Regents  is  in  line  with  one  of  the 
recommendations  made  by  Professor 
Josef  Redlich,  of  Vienna,  who  made 
a  comprehensive  study  of  legal  educa- 
tion and  admission  to  the  bar  in 
America  during  the  last  two  years  for 
the  Carnegie  Foundation  for  the  Ad- 
vancement of  Teaching.  One  of  his 
three  specific  recommendations  was 
the  adoption  of  a  four  year  course  for 
all  law  students.

one  day  conference  in  May,  calls 
attention  to  the  work  of  the  Col- 
legiate Bureau  of  Occupations  in 
Chicago,  in  which  a  number  of 
Michigan  women  are  interested.  Miss 
Mary  Zimmerman,  'Sg-'gi,  is  the 
secretary.  This  Chicago  Bureau  is 
managed  and  partly  supported  by 
the  local  ailumnae  associations  of 
fourteen  women's  colleges  and  state 
universities  in  co-operation  with  sim- 
ilar bureaus  in  New  York,  Boston  and 
Philadelphia.  It  has  now  finished  its 
second  year  of  successful  operation, 
and  during  that  time  has  registered 
862  candidates  for  positions,  while 
corresponding  calls  from  employers 
have  numbered  719.  Of  the  positions 
offered,  52.5%  have  been  filled.  Ct  The 
aims  of  this  Bureau  are,  in  the  first 
place,  to  act  as  a  clearing  house  for 
employers  and  employes;  in  the  sec- 
ond place,  it  aims  to  serve  in  an  ad- 
visory capacity  for  those  seeking  to  fit 
themselves  for  special  work.  Girls 
ignorant  of  the  first  steps  to  be  taken 
towards  earning  their  living  have  been 
put  in  the  way  of  finding  themselves 
and  their  value  to  the  world.  Another 
avowed  object  of  the  Bureau  is  to  in- 
vestigate new  avenues  of  activity  and 
opportunities  for  trained  women.  The 
Bureau  also  aims  to  co-operate  with 
college  authorities  in  bringing  to  the 
attention  of  undergraduates  the  best 
preparation  for  a  business  career.  It 
is  in  connection  with  this  side  of  the 
work  of  the  Bureau  that  the  vocational 
conferences  were  held  at  the  Univer- 
sity. A  recent  bulletin  from  the 
Bureau  states  that  they  have  the 
names  of  many  candidates  for  the  sum- 
mer, teachers  who  desire  to  fill  their 
unemployed  months,  or  many  who 
have  positions  for  next  fall,  but  do  not 
desire  to  remain  idle  during  the  sum- 
mer. Gi  A  list  of  the  different  types 
of  work  for  which  the  employers  have 
come  to  the  Bureau  indicates  the  scope 
of  its  work :  Canvasser,  filing  cleric, 
secretary,  solicitor,  stenographer,  de-

For  twenty-two  years 
THE  1915  MAY  now  the  May  Festival 
FESTIVAL  has   been   an   annual 

affair  in  the  Univer- 
sity. No  evidence  of  the  success  of 
this  effort  on  the  part  of  Professor 
Stanley  and  the  Choral  Union  to  make 
Ann  Arbor  a  true  musical  center,  is 
more  complete  than  the  audiences  in 
Hill  Auditorium  at  the  last  series  of 
concerts  held,  beginning  on  Wednes- 
day, May  19.  One  did  not  have  to  be 
a  trained  musical  critic  to  appreciate 
the  success  of  these  six  concerts.  The 
Chicago  Symphony  Orchestra,  under 
the  leadership  of  Frederick  Stock,  the 
Choral  Union,  augmented  by  a  Chil- 
dren's Chorus,  under  the  leadership  of 
Professor  Stanley,  an  impressive  list 
of  singers  of  the  first  rank,  together 
with  the  building  itself,  perfect  in  its 
adaption  to  the  difficult  requirements, 
and  an  audience  which  taxed  its  ca- 


pacity of  5,000,  combined  to  make  the 
result  unusually  impressive.  G.  Ma- 
dame Margarete  Ober,  of  the  Metro- 
politan Opera  Company,  contralto, 
won  particular  favor  at  the  first  con- 
cert, when  her  aria  of  Fides  from 
*'The  Prophet,"  by  Meyerbeer,  was  re- 
ceived with  especial  enthusiasm.  Clar- 
ence Whitehill,  also  from  the  Metro- 
politan, sang  the  aria  from  **Thais/' 
and  "Wotan's  Farewell."  The  orches- 
tral numbers  included  the  symphonic 
poem,  "The  Sirens,"  Gliere,  Tschai- 
kowsky's  overture,  *'Hamlet,"  and  a 
selection  from  ** Siegfried,"  "In  the 
Forest."  Wolfe-Ferrari's  beautiful  can- 
tata, "The  New  Life,"  by  the  Choral 
Union,  with  assistance  of  a  boys'  choir 
and  Mr.  Theodore  Harrison,  of  the 
School  of  Music,  as  the  baritone  solo- 
ist, proved  one  of  the  most  interesting 
and  distinguished  offerings  of  the  Fes- 
tival. The  second  part  of  the  program 
was  remarkable  for  the  enthusiasm 
with  which  Frieda  Hempel,  who  sang 
"The  Queen  of  the  Night"  from  "The 
Magic  Flute,"  a  selection  from 
**Ernani,"  Verdi,  and  as  an  encore,  a 
beautiful  vocal  setting  from  the  Blue 
Danube  Walz,  was  received.  Brahm's 
Symphony,  No.  i,  C  Minor,  given 
with  all  the  sustained  effort  and  dis- 
criminating nicety  of  the  orchestra, 
and  a  concerto  for  piano-forte  in  A 
minor  by  Schumann,  by  Mr.  HaroFd 
Bauer  were  the  features  of  the  after- 
noon concert  on  Friday.  Miss  Mar- 
garet Keyes  also  sang  a  selection  from 
Bruck's  "Odysseus."  In  the  evening 
Giovanni  Martinelli,  who  had  taken 
the  place  of  John  McCormack  at  the 
last  moment,  proved  one  of  the  most 
popular  singers  of  the  Festival.  He 
sang  selections  from  "Tosca,"  "La 
Boheme,"  as  well  as  the  "Celeste 
Aida."  Tosti's  "Ideale"  was  one  of 
his  encores.  Almost  equally  enthusi- 
astic was  the  greeting  which  the  audi- 
ence gave  the  selections  by  the  orches- 
tra, which  included  the  largo  from 
Dvorak's    "New    World"    symphony

and  a  very  popular  rhapsody,  "Italia," 
by  Casella.  The  last  two  Festival 
series  were  given  on  Saturday,  when 
Mr.  Llewellyn  L.  Ren  wick  gave  an 
organ  recital  in  the  afternoon.  The 
soloists  were  Miss  Keyes  and  Mr. 
Theodore  Harrison  who  offered  a 
number  of  Italian  and  German  songs, 
finishing  with  the  "Caecilie"  of  Rich- 
ard Strauss.  Pieme's  ''Children's  Cru- 
sade" was  given  in  the  evening,  with 
Miss  Olive  Kline,  Miss  Leonora  Allen, 
Miss  Ada  Grace  Johnson,  Mr.  Lam- 
bert Murphy  and  Mr.  Clarence  White- 
hill  as  the  principal  soloists.  The 
chorus  was  supplemented  by  a  full 
children's  chorus.

THE  MUSICAL  ^    j      .  j      1 

dxj^  Student  and  alumnus 

are  recognized  as  all 
too  few,  one  of  the  avowed  purposes 
of  the  new  Michigan  Union  building  is 
to  serve  as  a  place  where  student, 
alumnus  and  faculty  man  may  meet  on 
a  common  groimd.  That  the  faculty 
lion  shall  lie  down  with  the  traditional 
undergraduate  lamb  cannot  always  be 
expected.  But  at  least  the  new  build- 
ing should  afford  the  most  favorable 
surroundings  for  a  better  understand- 
ing.   The  Union  has  also  made  a  prac- 


tice of  carrying  the  annual  Opera  to 
some  of  the  large  cities  nearby,  aiming 
to  bring  a  little  of  the  real  spirit  of 
student  life  to  those  to  whom  it  is 
necessarily  only  a  memory.  (S.  The 
trips  of  the  musical  clubs  of  late  years 
have  had  a  similar  purpose,  and  per- 
haps have  reached  a  greater  number  of 
the  alumni  because  of  the  longer  trip 
and  its  wider  range.  Two  years  ago 
the  clubs  went  out  to  the  Coast  by 
the  northern  route,  with  Seattle  as  the 
objective,  last  year  they  visited  Los 
Angeles,  while  this  spring  they  made 
a  most  successful  circuit  of  a  number 
of  cities  in  the  neighboring  states. 
Next  year  they  plan  to  visit  again  the 
cities  of  the  Northwest,  and  are  al- 
ready at  work  upon  an  itinerary. 
Gi  These  annual  trips  of  the  Musical 
Clubs  are  coming  to  be  recognized 
more  and  more  as  serving  a  useful 
purpose,  though  it  is  more  as  the  rep- 
resentative of  the  undergraduate 
spirits,  than  as  an  exponent  of  classi- 
cal music  that  they  appear.  There  is 
a  quality  in  the  staccato  beat  of  the 
music  essential  to  the  real  student 
minstrel  which  helps  to  recreate  for 
the  alumni  the  romance  of  college  life. 
There  is  a  freshness  in  the  humor,  and 
a  spirit  which  carries  a  not  unworthy 
message  from  the  University  to  the 
alumni.

representative. 

A  new  marking  system  has  been 
adopted  by  the  Faculty  of  the  Medical 
School  for  use  in  all  courses  in  the 
School.  The  system  is  similar  to  the 
one  used  in  the  College  of  Literature, 
Science  and  the  Arts, — A,  B,  C,  D,  E, 
— with  the  exception  that  D  is  a  con- 
ditional mark,  and  may  be  removed 
by  examination.  The  new  ruling  goes 
into  effect  at  the  final  examinations  of 
the  present  semester.  The  same  meth- 
od of  grading  is  used  also  in  the  Engi- 
neering College.

A  wireless  chess  match,  the  first 
ever  played,  so  far  as  known,  was  held 
between  Michigan  and  Ohio  State  last 
month.  The  play  lasted  for  a  period 
of  several  days,  with  the  final  result 
of  a  draw  when  the  match  was  called 
off. 

President  Hutchins  received  word 
last  month  from  Charles  D.  Dunlop, 
of  Tuticorin,  South  India,  formerly 
a  member  of  this  year's  senior  dental 
class,  who  is  now  in  the  English  army 
medical  service,  that  his  division  has 
been  ordered  to  India.  When  the  war 
broke  out,  Dr.  Dunlop,  who  holds  a 
medical  degree,  joined  the  medical 
service,  and  has  been  doing  duty  on  a 
hospital  ship.

the  Balkans"  in  Sarah  Caswell  Angell 
Hall  on  Thursday  evening,  May  6.  For 
years  Mr.  Trevelyan  has  made  a  spe- 
cial study  of  the  political  and  histori- 
cal problems  of  the  Mediterranean 
countries,  especially  those  of  the  Bal- 
kans, and  is  recognized  as  an  author- 
ity on  conditions  in  Europe.  He  was 
influential  in  organizing  the  British- 
Servia  relief  work,  and  came  to  this 
country  directly  from  Servia. 

A  191 2  model  "B"  Wright  hydro- 
plane was  recently  presented  to  the 
University  Aero  Club  by  Russell  Alger 
of  Detroit,  president  of  the  Michigan 
Aero  Club,  and  Frederick  W.  Alger, 
*i8^,  of  Clarkson.  The  machine  was 
shortly  after  destroyed  in  a  trial  flight 
on  Barton  Pond,  when  it  turned  turtle 
while  F.  Earl  Loudy,  '15^,  of  Han- 
cock, who  was  acting  as  pilot,  was  sail- 
ing 15  feet  above  the  surface  of  the 
pond.  It  had  been  planned  to  make 
several  flights  at  the  regatta  on  Bar- 
ton Pond  on  May  29,  but  the  arrange- 
ments had  to  be  cancelled.  It  is  plan- 
ned, however  to  repair  the  machine  so 
that  it  will  be  ready  for  use  next  fall. 


On  April  12,  Dr.  Victor  C.  Vaughan, 
Dean  of  the  Medical  School,  delivered 
an  address  at  a  special  meeting  of  the 
College  of  Physicians  of  Philadelphia. 
Dean  Vaughan  discussed  the  different 
phases  of  modem  military  hygiene  and 
camp  sanitation,  considering  the  ques- 
tion particularly  in  reference  to  war 
mortality.  Dr.  Vaughan  was  on  April 
21  elected  a  member  of  the  National 
Academy  of  Science. 

Senior  swing-out  was  held  this  year 
on  Tuesday  afternoon.  May  11.  At 
the  customary  exercises  in  University 
Hall  preceding  the  swing-out  parade 
in  cap  and  gown.  Dr.  Angell  and  Pres- 
ident Hutchins  gave  short  talks,  fol- 
lowing an  invocation  by  Rev.  Arthur 
W.  Stalker,  of  the  Methodist  Church, 
and  a  solo  by  Chase  B.  Sikes,  '16,  of 
Wayne.  After  describing  an  "M"  in 
the  march  about  the  Campus,  the 
seniors  gathered  in  front  of  the  Law 
Building  where  the  class  pictures  were 
taken. 

Ellen  Van  Volkenburg  Browne,  ^04, 
and  Edward  N.  Moseman,  *io-'i3,  ap- 
peared as  "Hecuba"  and  as  the  Greek 
Herald  in  the  performance  of  Euripi- 
des^ "The  Trojan  Woman,"  which 
was  given  in  Ann  Arbor  at  the  New 
Whitney  Theater  on  April  22,  under 
the  auspices  of  the  Drama  League,  the 
Women's  League  and  Masques.  The 
company  is  making  a  tour  of 
the  country  under  the  auspices  of 
the  Woman's  Peace  Party,  with 
the  object  of  bringing  before  the 
public  all  the  horrors  of  war.  The 
scene  of  the  play  which  was  character- 
ized by  its  unusually  beautiful  lighting 
effects,  represents  a  battle-field  out- 
side the  walls  of  Troy,  after  its  final 
capture  by  the  Greeks  after  ten  years 
of  siege.  After  putting  the  Trojan 
men  to  the  sword,  the  victors  led  the 
Trojan  women  into  captivity,  and  the 
action  describes  the  fate  of  the  women 
and  children.

The  admirable  portrait  of  Professor 
Isaac  N.  Demmon,  a  reproduction  of 
which  appears  in  this  Alumnus,  was 
the  gift  to  the  University  of  the  late 
Professor  Richard  Hudson,  who  de- 


1888.  His  parents  settled  in  Chicago 
in  1895,  where  the  boy  was  educated 
in  the  public  schools.  He  entered  the 
Art  Institute  at  the  age  of  21,  and  was 
graduated  in   191 2,    winning    honors

Prom  a  Recent  Portrait  by  J.   Bennett   Linder,   Presented   to  the   University  by   the 
Late   Professor   Richard   Hudson 


sired  that  the  University  should  have 
a  portrait  of  Professor  Demmon  by 
the  same  artist  that  painted  his  own. 
It  was  also  his  desire  that  the  two 
pictures  eventually  hang  side  by  side. 
The  artist,  Mr.  S.  Bennett  Linder,  was 
bom  in  Helsingfors,  Finland,  June  6, 


and  a  fellowship  entitling  him  to  study 
abroad.  He  went  to  Munich  in  1912 
and  opened  a  studio,  where  he  painted 
Professor  Hudson's  picture.  He  was 
driven  out  by  the  war  in  August,  1914, 
and  returned  to  New  York  where  he 
now  has  his  studio.

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[June 


The  1915  Michiganensian,  dedi- 
cated to  Coach  Fielding  H.  Yost, 
made  its  appearance  on  May  5.  Uni- 
form in  size  and  binding  with  the  an- 
nuals of  the  past  few  years,  this  year's 
volume  devotes  perhaps  more  space  to 
j:j:eneral  Campus  activities  than  has 
been  done  in  former  years,  the  editors 
aiming  to  make  it  representative  not 
only  of  the  senior  classes  but  of  the 
whole  University.  Snapshots  of  prom- 
inent underclassmen,  cuts  of  the  re- 
gatta and  Fresh-Soph  contests  of  last 
spring,  and  the  convocation,  are  in- 
cluded, as  well  as  full-page  illustra- 
tions of  all  the  football  contests  of  last 
year.  A  special  art  section  gives 
twenty-four  illustrations  of  Campus 
views,  done  in  mezzograph. 

Wednesday,  May  12,  witnessed  the 
opening  of  the  Michigan  Union  build- 
ing fund  campaign  on  the  Campus, 
when  a  mass  meeting  was  held  in  Hill 
Auditorium  under  the  auspices  of  the 
Union,  with  the  object  of  laying  be- 
fore the  student  body  generally  the 
ideals  and  aims  of  the  organization. 
Nearly  two  thousand  men  were  pres- 
ent, as  well  as  many  women  and 
townspeople.  President  Hutchins  pre- 
sided, introducing  Dean  Bates,  of  the 
Law  School ;  L  K.  Pond,  '79^,  of  Chi- 
cago, architect  of  the  new  building; 
Henry  E.  Bodman  '96,  of  Detroit, 
chairman  of  the  Detroit  campaign 
committee,  and  Judge  Robert  F. 
Thompson,  '92,  LL.M.  '93,  of  Canan- 
daigua,  N.  Y.,  as  the  speakers  of  the 
evening.  It  had  been  hoped  that  Dr. 
Angell  would  be  present  to  give  a  brief 
expression  of  his  personal  interest  in 
the  movement,  but  at  the  last  moment 
he  was  unable  to  attend,  and  Dean 
Bates  was  called  on  to  fill  his  place. 
Mr.  Pond  explained  the  plans  for  the 
proposed  clubhouse  with  the  aid  of 
lantern  slides,  while  Mr.  Bodman  gave 
an  explanation  of  the  committee  or- 
ganization which  is  to  raise  the  funds. 
Judge  Thompson's  subject  was  "What 


the  Union  Means  to  Michigan  Men." 
Several  vocal  selections  were  given  by 
Edward  J.  McNamara,  baritone  with 
Mme.  Schumann-Heink,  a  former 
School  of  Music  student,  and  the  Var- 
sity Band  played.  A  business  meet- 
ing in  charge  of  President  P.  Duffy 
Koontz,  '14,  '17/,  of  the  Union,  was 
part  of  the  program,  at  which  three 
amendments  to  the  constitution  of  the 
Union,  affecting  the  qualifications  for 
life  membership,  the  manner  of  nom- 
ination of  officers  by  petition  and  the 
details  of  the  election  of  officers,  were 
carried  without  opposition.  Selden  S. 
Dickinson,  '13,  '15/,  of  Jackson,  was 
chairman  of  the  committee  in  charge 
of  the  meeting.  As  a  direct  result  of 
the  campaign  on  the  Campus,  713  new 
life  members  have  been  secured  from 
among  the  student  body. 

On  the  evening  of  May  26,  the  wo- 
men of  the  University  presented  a 
Greek  myth  and  dancing  fete,  "Deme- 
ter  and  Persephone,"  in  Observatory 
Hollow  before  an  appreciative  audi- 
ence. The  part  of  Persephone  was 
taken  by  Genevieve  E.  OXeary,  '16, 
Ann  Arbor,  while  Helen  L.  Champion, 
'17,  of  Detroit,  portrayed  the  rule  of 
Demeter,  and  Mina  L.  Winslow,  of 
Chicago,  a  student  in  the  Graduate 
School,  appeared  as  Hermes.  A  fea- 
ture of  the  performance  was  the  danc- 
ing of  the  groups  of  Greek  maidens, 
portraying  the  winter  and  summer  sea- 
sons, and  a  pantomime  of  the  coming 
of  spring.  During  the  intermission 
the  Girls'  Glee  Club  sang.  Ellen  M. 
Sargeant,  '16,  of  Oak  Park,  111.,  had 
charge  of  the  music  and  orchestra. 
Much  of  the  music  was  written  by 
her,  and  prepared  for  orchestration  by 
William  R.  Mills,  '18,  of  Flint.  Fol- 
lowing the  presentation  of  the  myth, 
the  senior  and  junior  women  held  their 
annual  Lantern  Night  exercises.  Be- 
cause of  the  success  of  the  first  night's 
performance,  a  second  performance 
was  given  on  June  i.

EVENT  IN  BRIEF 


459 


Three  members  of  the  junior  engi- 
neering class  were  suspended  for  one 
semester  by  the  Faculty  of  the  Col- 
leges of  Engineering  and  Architecture 
on  May  27.  The  three  students  sus- 
pended were  in  active  charge  of  the 
annual  "pow-wow"  of  the  junior  en- 
gineering class  held  Saturday  even- 
ing May  22,  at  which  beer  was 
served.  This  action  on  the  part  of  the 
Engineering  Faculty  is  in  direct  ac- 
cordance with  the  ruling  of  the  Uni- 
versity Senate,  which  has  positively 
forbidden  all  celebrations  partaking  of 
the  nature  of  a  "keg  party/' 

There  have  been  a  number  of  lec- 
tures on  architectural  subjects  given 
recently  at  the  University.  Among  the 
speakers  were  Stephen  M.  Wirts,  a 
prominent  designer  of  furniture,  on 
"Furniture  Design;'*  the  well  known 
painter,  Joseph  Lindon  Smith,  on  the 
Temples  at  Angkor  Wat  in  Cambodia : 
Librarian  Theodore  W.  Koch,  author 
of  **Carnegie  Libraries,"  on  the  Plan- 
ning^ of  Libraries ;  George  Gibbs,  Jr., 
teacher  investigator  for  the  City  Plan- 
ning Board  of  Boston,  on  City  Plan- 
ning, and  C.  L.  Lewis,  in  charge  of 
constniction  of  the  new  Science  Build- 
ing, on  Building  Superintendence. 

Fifteen  hundred  books  from  the  li- 
brary of  the  late  Thomas  Spencer  Je- 
rome, '84,  were  received  by  the  Uni- 
versity Library  early  in  May.  Profes- 
sor F.  W.  Kelsey,  of  the  Latin  De- 
partment, recently  returned  from  Italy 
where  he  had  gone  as  the  official  rep- 
resentative of  the  University  in  look- 
ing after  the  bequest  Mr.  Jerome  had 
made  to  the  University.  Professor 
Kelsey  also  secured  for  the  Geological 
Department  a  valuable  collection  of 
invertebrate  fossils  from  the  Island  of 
Capri.  The  specimens  were  presented 
to  Professor  Kelsey  by  Dr.  Ignaz 
Cerio,  a  geologist  who  has  been  for 
some  time  connected  with  the  Univer- 
sity of  Naples. 


In  spite  of  a  steady  rain  which  fell 
all  evening,  nearly  6,000  people  gath- 
ered in  Observatory  Hollow  on  May 
29  for  the  annual  Cap  Night  exercises. 
The  speakers  were  introduced  by  Har- 
old R.  Schradzki,  '15/,  of  Peoria,  111., 
as  master  of  ceremonies,  while  Car- 
roll B.  Haff,  '15/,  of  Kansas  City,  Mo., 
led  the  yells.  The  speakers  were  Ed- 
ward H.  Saier,  '15/,  Lansing;  Robert 
C.  Barnum,  '15,  Niagara  Falls,  N.  Y.; 
Ernest  F.  Hughitt,  '15^,  Escanaba; 
Professor  R.  M.  Wenley,  of  the  Phil- 
osophy Department,  and  James  Strass- 
burg,  '98-'o2,  /'oi-'o2,  of  Detroit. 

The  freshmen  were  victorious  in  the 
annual  Fresh-Soph  contests,  held 
May  21  and  22,  by  the  score  of  4  to  3. 
They  won  two  of  the  tug-of-war 
struggles,  the  lightweight  and  the  mid- 
dleweight, the  sophomores  winning 
the  heavyweight  pull  in  four  minutes. 
Two  of  the  three  obstacle  races  were 
won  by  the  second  year  men,  while 
the  freshmen  were  successful  in  the 
pushball  contest.  In  spite  of  the  much 
larger  number  of  freshmen,  the  con- 
test was  a  hard-fought  one,  neither 
side  scoring  a  goal.  The  freshmen, 
were,  however,  awarded  one  point  for 
having  the  ball  in  sophomore  territory 
at  the  end  of  the  struggle. 

Though  the  weather  was  somewhat 
unfavorable  the  recent  regatta  held 
under  the  auspices  of  the  Michigan 
L^nion  Boat  Club,  on  Barton  Pond, 
was  a  great  success.  Both  the  Detroit 
Boat  Club  and  the  Grand  Rapids  Boat 
and  Canoe  Club  entered  eight  and  four 
oared  shells  and  double  and  single 
sculls,  Detroit  winning  the  first  two 
and  Grand  Rapids  the  scull  events. 
The  races  demonstrated  the  possibili- 
ties for  a  University  crew  which  the 
new  Barton  Pond  offers,  particularly 
as  there  is  a  distinct  sentiment  toward 
the  shorter  two  mile  course,  for  which 
it  is  practicable.

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[June 


The  new  catalogue  for  1915-16  (for- 
merly the  Calendar)  shows  that  the 
enrolment  for  the  present  year  totals 
6,854,  including  the  Summer  Session 
and  the  extension  courses,  a  gain  of 
354  over  last  year's  enrolment.  Ex- 
clusive of  the  Summer  Session  and  the 
extension  courses,  the  total  is  5,760,  a 
gain  of  240  over  the  1913-14  figures. 
The  greatest  increase  is  shown  in  the 
Colleges  of  Engineering  and  Architec- 
ture, which  have  104  more  students 
than  last  year.  A  gain  of  103  is  shown 
in  the  College  of  Literature,  Science, 
and  the  Arts,  while  the  other  colleges 
and  schools  all  show  slight  gains,  with 
the  exception  of  the  Law  School, 
which  shows  a  falling  off  from  612  to 
538,  and  the  Hcwnoeopathic  Medical 
School,  whose  enrolment  remains  the 
same  as  last  year.  A  total  of  1,600 
students  attended  the  1914  Summer 
Session,  as  compared  with  1403  in 
191 3>  while  the  extension  courses  op- 
erating under  the  credit  plan  show  an 
enrolment  of  274  for  the  present  year, 
as  against  242  last  year.  China  leads 
in  the  number  of  foreign  students  en- 
rolled in  the  University,  with  a  total  of 
y2.  Canada  is  next,  with  30  students, 
while  South  Africa  has  13.  India  and 
Japan  have  7  each,  with  England,  Tur- 
key, Germany,  Austria,  Australia  and 
Chile  following  in  the  order  named. 


An  analysis  of  the  enrolment  by  states 
shows,  as  might  be  expected,  that 
Michigan  takes  the  lead,  with  3,950 
students.  Ohio  takes  second  place, 
with  500,  New  York  has  394,  Illinois 
314,  Pennsylvania  243,  and  Indiana 
220. 

The  Detroit  Architectural  Atelier, 
whose  patron  or  volunteer  critic 
in  architecture  is  Professor  Lorch, 
has  just  held  an  exhibition  of  its  work 
in  Detroit.  Some  of  the  work 
of  the  College  of  Architecture  has 
recently  been  shown  in  Washing- 
ton, during  the  convention  of  the 
American  Institute  of  Architects,  at 
the  Chicago  Architectural  Exhibition 
at  the  Art  Institute  of  Chicago,  and 
will  also  be  sent  to  the  architectural 
exhibition  to  be  held  at  the  Detroit 
Museum  of  Art  in  June.  The  Archi- 
tectural Society  has  secured  an  ex- 
hibit of  prize  drawings  which  is  now 
hung  in  a  portion  of  the  main  gallery 
of  Alumni  Memorial  Hall.  This  ex- 
hibit gives  an  excellent  opportunity  to 
see  what  other  architectural  schools 
are  doing.  It  is  circulated  through  the 
United  States  by  the  American  Feder- 
ation of  Art.  Upon  the  invitation  of 
the  architect,  Albert  Kahn,  a  party  of 
architectural  students  recently  visited 
the  Detroit  Athletic  Club.

ORIGINAL  RESEARCH  WORK  IN  PROGRESS  IN  THE  MECHANICAL 
ENGINEERING  DEPARTMENT 

It  has  always  been  the  policy  of  the  Mechanical  Engineering  Depart- 
ment to  promote  and  encourage  original  research  work  as  much  as  possible. 
A  great  deal  of  this  kind  of  work  was  done  during  the  early  period  of  the 
Department's  existence.  Then  came  the  period  of  remarkable  growth  in 
all  the  departments,  during  which  the  time  of  the  teaching  staff  had  to  be 
devoted  wholly  to  the  regular  courses  of  the  curriculum.  In  the  past  few 
years  the  Department  has  been  able  to  devote  more  time  and  attention  to 
original  research  and  at  the  present  time  several  promising  investigations 
are  being  carried  on. 

The  work  under  way  at  the  present  time  follows  three  general  lines, 
viz.,  the  flow  of  steam  and  air  through  orifices,  and  in  pipes;  the  trans- 
mission of  heat;  and  automobile  engineering. 

A  considerable  amount  of  work  is  being  done  on  the  determination  of 
coefficients  which  may  be  used  for  the  calculation  of  the  amount  of  steam 
flowing  through  a  sharp-edged  orifice  in  a  pipe.  The  sharp-edged  orifice 
was  preferred,  in  these  investigations,  to  a  round-edged  orifice  because  of 
its  simplicity.  The  flow  of  steam  through  an  orifice  with  well  rounded  edges, 
in  a  thin  plate,  has  been  investigated  by  Rateau.  But  he  has  left  no  record 
of  the  amount  of  rounding  of  the  entrance.  If  he  had  done  so,  it  would 
still  be  uncertain  as  to  whether  the  radius  of  rounding  should  remain  con- 
stant for  all  sizes  of  orifices,  or  should  be  different  for  each  size.  And 
finally,  in  order  to  use  the  constants  in  a  practical  manner  for  determining 
the  flow  of  steam,  an  orifice  would  have  to  be  made  in  which  the  rounding 
was  of  exactly  the  same  nature  and  amount  as  in  those  originally  calibrated. 

For  the  above  reason,  the  work  in  the  Mechanical  Laboratory  has  been 
done  on  sharp-edged  orifices,  which  involve  no  difficulty  in  their  construction 
or  reproduction.  The  coefficients  are  being  determined  for  orifices  of  dif- 
ferent diameters,  or  of  certain  diameters  for  certain  sized  pipes.  In  order 
to  use  the  results  in  a  practical  way,  it  will  only  be  necessary  to  ream  a  hole 
of  the  desired  size  in  a  thin  plate  of  brass,  drill  the  plate  for  the  flange  bolts, 
slip  the  plate  between  the  flanges  of  a  flange  union  in  the  steam  pipe  and 
bolt  it  up.  Then  with  }i  inch  pipe  connections  on  each  side  of  the  orifice, 
the  drop  in  pressure  can  be  determined  by  means  of  gages  or  a  differential 
manometer. 

This  apparatus  really  becomes  a  steam  meter.  It  has  the  disadvantage  of 
not  possessing  so  wide  a  range  of  reading  as  a  commercial  steam  meter,  nor 
of  furnishing  a  graphic  record  of  the  flow,  but  offers  a  means  of  enabling 
the  engineer  to  determine  at  small  expense,  and  with  a  fair  degree  of  accu- 
racy, the  steam  consumption  of  many  steam  units  which  could  not  otherwise 
be  tested  at  all  for  steam  consumption.

464  THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS  [June 

Parallel  investigations  are  also  being  carried  on  to  determine  the  co- 
efficients of  flow  of  air  through  sharp-edged  orifices.  The  results  will  have 
the  same  practical  application  as  in  the  case  of  the  steam  orifices.  In  fact, 
definite  knowledge  of  these  values  for  orifices  for  the  flow  of  air  will  be  of 
even  greater  value  than  those  for  steam,  since  some  such  means  must  always 
be  relied  upon  for  the  measurement  of  air.  Whereas,  in  many  cases,  the 
consumption  of  steam  units  can  be  obtained  by  condensation  in  a  surface 
condenser,  and  direct  weighing  of  the  condensate. 

Investigations  to  determine  the  value  of  the  coefficient  of  friction  of 
both  steam  and  air,  when  flowing  in  pipes,  have  been  begun.  The  coefficient 
for  steam,  in  pipes  of  steam  heating  systems,  has  never  been  definitely  deter- 
mined by  direct  experiment.  Similarly,  but  little  is  known  about  the  exact 
value  of  the  coefficient  of  friction  of  air  flowing  in  ducts  of  ventilating  sys- 
tems, and  it  is  expected  that  the  experiments  will  produce  some  definite 
results. 

Along  the  line  of  heat  transmission,  two  investigations  are  under  way. 
During  the  past  year,  extensive  tests  w^ere  made  on  a  heating  furnace  of  the 
warm  air  type.  Some  results  of  tests  on  steam  and  hot  water  heating  fur- 
naces are  available;  but  only  very  little  work  has  been  done  on  the  testing 
of  hot  air  furnaces,  owing  to  the  difficulty  of  measuring  the  quantity  of  air 
delivered  by  the  furnace.  This  difficulty  had  to  be  met  and  overcome,  as 
well  as  many  others,  chief  of  which  was  the  determination  of  temperatures 
of  gases  and  air  free  from  the  eflPects  of  direct  radiation  from  fire  and  hot 
walls. 

A  successful  test  has  been  made  upon  an  apparatus  designed  some  years 
ago  for  the  determination  of  the  rate  at  which  heat  is  transferred  through 
walls  constructed  of  diflPerent  materials.  The  apparatus  consists  of  a  heavily 
insulated  tight  box.  Inside  the  box  there  are  coils  for  the  circulation  of  cold 
brine  from  the  experimental  refrigerating  machine.  By  means  of  the  brine 
the  temperature  inside  can  be  lowered  to  zero  degrees  F  if  desired.  After 
the  inside  of  the  box  has  been  lowered  to  its  minimum  temperature,  and  the 
walls  of  the  box  have  attained  a  constant  temperature  condition,  the  only 
heat  to  be  removed  by  the  brine,  to  keep  the  temperature  inside  the  box 
constant,  is  that  which  passes  through  the  walls  from  the  comparatively 
warm  room  outside  to  the  cold  space  inside.  With  all  the  sides  of  the  box 
in  place  this  amount  of  heat  will  be  very  small,  on  account  of  the  thickness 
of  the  walls  and  their  material.  One  side  of  the  box  can  be  removed,  and 
replaced  by  any  material  desired.  In  the  test  above  referred  to,  this  material 
was  glass. 

The  heat  passing  into  the  box  is  carried  away  by  the  brine.  If  the 
density  of  the  brine  is  known,  and  if  weight,  and  rise  in  temperature  in  pass- 
ing through  the  box  are  determined,  the  amount  of  heat  can  be  computed, 
and  from  this,  the  number  of  heat  units  transferred  per  square  foot  of  glass 
per  degree  difference  in  temperature,  can  be  found. 

The  box  can  be  turned  in  any  position  so  that  the  experimental  side 
may  be  in  a  vertical,  horizontal,  or  intermediate  slanting  position. 

Interest  in  the  automobile  engineering  courses  has  been  greater  this 
year  than  at  any  time  since  this  work  was  begun  and  research  work  of

importance  has  been  undertaken.  During  the  first  semester,  an  extensive 
series  of  tests  was  conducted  on  automobile  muffler  back  pressures  and  horse 
power  losses  on  the  laboratory  Hudson  Six  54  motor.  Five  standard  muff- 
lers were  used  and  tests  were  run  on  each  at  three  different  speeds  with  the 
motor  developing  five  different  horse  powers  at  each  speed.  The  report  on 
these  tests  has  been  published  with  curves  and  complete  data  in  the  Horseless 
Age  of  May  5  and  is  a  valuable  contribution  to  the  literature  on  this  subject. 
This  work  has  been  continued  during  the  second  semester  in  connection  with 
the  laboratory  Reo  the  Fifth  motor.  Different  mufflers  are  being  investigated 
and  mufflers  of  the  same  design  but  of  different  size  and  proportions. 

Another  research  is  in  progress  upon  the  determination  of  the  Horse 
Power  delivered  to  the  road  by  the  rear  wheels  in  driving  different  cars  at 
different  rates  of  speed  on  the  road.  A  special  course  has  been  surveyed 
on  Fifth  Avenue  and  police  permits  obtained  for  high  speed  work.  Tests 
this  semester  have  been  run  on  a  Krit  1915  touring  car  and  a  Hudson  "33/' 
and  it  is  contemplated  that  the  work  will  be  extended  over  several  semesters 
and  cover  a  number  of  cars  of  various  sizes  and  prices.

LIFE  IN  THE  TRENCHES 

TWO  LETTERS  FROM  THE  FRENCH  UNES 

Professor  Rene  Talamon  has  written  the  following  letter  from  the  front 
in  France  to  Professor  W.  A.  MacLaughlin,  of  the  Department  of  French, 
describing  his  life  in  the  trenches. 

*'I  have  not  written  to  you  since  I  began  to  take  a  more  active  part  in 
this  war,  have  I?       Falaise  was*  a  bit  sudden;  I   had  been,  of  course, 

expecting  it,  since  the  beginning  of 
August,  but  it  was  just  when  I 
was  beginning  to  become  a  little  set- 
tled there  that  I  learned  that  I  was  to 
depart.  Having  left  the  loth  of  Jan- 
uary, I  went  down  into  the  trench  the 
I2th  with  all  the  curiosity  of  one  who 
has  read  all  the  stories  about  the 
''poilus'^  and  the  "marmites"^  and  the 
boyaux  de  communication."^  But  I 
quickly  learned  all  about  them  and  am 
now  an  old  campaigner. 

ril  not  describe  this  life  to  you  for 
you-  have  already  read  a  thousand 
tales  about  it.  I  had  the  good  fortune 
to  have  from  the  very  beginning  as 
commandant  de  compagnie  a  charming 
fellow,  an  officer  in  the  reserves  like 
myself,  professor  at  Argentan,  who 
had  been  in  active  service  from  the 
start ;  he  had  been  in  the  retreat  and  all 
the  rest  of  it;  he  had  been  wounded, 
sent  home  to  the  base,  and  sent  back

did  not  have  a  dreary  or  weary  second. 
Our  life  is  divided  into  two  parts  quite  distinct :  six  days  in  the  trenches 
and  six  days  back  in  the  rear.  Life  in  the  trenches  is  curious.  Comfort 
depends  essentially  on  the  weather  and  we  often  hear  fellows  talk  about  the 
rain  and  the  mud  but  never  about  the  "Boches"  (/.  e.  Germans).  They  are 
there,  of  course,  but  dug  in  like  ourselves,  and  waiting.  When  the  com- 
muniques tell  you  that  there  is  nothing  to  report  on  the  rest  of  the  front, 
it  is  absolutely  so.  Since  my  arrival  there  has  been  nothing  to  report  here : 
firing  continually  kept  up  but  which  passes  over  our  heads  and  is  generally 
not  very  brisk ;  artillery  duels  above  us — little  pieces  of  shot  or  shell  though 

*  French  soldiers  having  for  the  most  part  allowed  their  beards  to  grow,  present 
a  rather  "bushy",  "brushy"  appearance,  hence  the  term  "poilu" — "hairy".

fall  into  our  trench  from  time  to  time  and  which  are  picked  up  while  still 
hot ;  and  then  from  time  to  time,  at  night  especially,  alarms  and  quick  firing 
on  both  sides:  some  one  thought  he  saw  something  move  between  the 
trenches.  But  all  this  does  not  prevent  us  from  sleeping  very  peacefully, 
in  all  our  clothes,  of  course ;  a  few  sentinels  keep  watch  at  the  loop  holes 
and  the  rest  of  the  men  snore  in  queer  little  shelters  dug  in  the  walls  of  the 
trench.  Usually  we  have  rooms  that  are  almost  comfortable.  We  have 
already  changed  secteur  several  times  but  for  the  time  being  we  have  a 
two-room  apartment  and  in  the  larger  room  there  are  real  tables  and  benches 
and  a  stove  and  I  can  stand  up  straight  there.  Next  to  that  is  the  bedroom, 
with  a  real  wire  spring  bed  and  some  straw ;  we  have  had  some,  where  we 
found  dishes  and  mirrors  and  chairs  just  as  if  the  Germans  had  been  there. 
We  are  very  well  fed  and  play  bridge  sometimes  for  whole  days  without 
being  disturbed ;  at  other  times  some  rather  sharp  shooting  makes  us  jump 
to  our  revolvers  and  come  out ;  we  should  like  very  much  to  see  them  (the 
Germans)  come  out,  too,  but  they  remain  invisible,  so  we  come  back  and 
continue  the  game.  A  shell  whistles  by  and  some  one  says  "A  little  short" 
or  "A  little  too  far,"  'That's  coming  closer,"  "No,  that's  not  for  us"  and 
the  game  goes  on. 

So  for  six  days  we  lead  that  sort  of  life  between  two  walls  of  mud,  re- 
gretting somewhat  that  we  can  never  look  at  a  sunset  and  especially  regret- 
ting that  we  cannot  straighten  up  completely.  We  get  accustomed  to  the 
*7flk:  /ac"  of  the  bullets  and  we  say,  with  a  smile,  "Good  boy,  Fritz !"  We 
don't  wash  as  often  as  we  might  wish  but  we  get  used  to  that,  too ;  and  of- 
ten, when  the  sixth  day  comes — Interruption! — The  telephone  is  ringing; 
we  are  requested  to  go  to  see  the  captain  of  the  next  company  and  come  to 
an  understanding  about  some  work  that  is  to  be  done.  That  means  a  little 
walk  at  sunset  to  trace  out  some  trenches  that  are  to  be  dug  this  very  night. 
So  after  dinner  I  climb  up  on  the  hill  with  twenty  men  armed  with  shovels 
and  picks — they  are  the  modem  weapons — and  while  the  little  bullets  whistle 
around  us,  while  those  good  old  Germans  send  off  rockets  which  remind  us 
of  the  4th  of  July  (during  which  display  we  drop  down  close  to  the  ground 
making  ourselves  as  tiny  as  possible)  we  make  the  outline  and  begin  to  dig 
a  nice  trench  and  we'll  spend  the  night  making  it  deeper  and  deeper.  There 
is  a  little  too  much  moon  light,  and  we  must  be  pretty  easily  seen ;  but,  little 
by  little  the  men  get  down  into  the  ground  and  soon  they  are  nothing  more 
than  so  many  moles  with  their  noses  just  above  the  level  of  the  ground  on 
that  bare  and  naked  hill  brightly  lighted  up  by  the  full  moon,  and  always 
*'hzzz!  bzszzr  and  in  spite  of  ourselves  we  lower  our  heads — I  was  saying, 
then,  that,  when  the  sixth  day  comes  and  we  are  to  leave  for  the  rear  to  set- 
tle down  for  a  while  at  the  village  of (censor)  we'd  often  as  soon 

remain  there  at  the  front,  but  the  change  is  good  just  the  same,  so  when 
those  who  are  to  take  our  places  come  we  say  good  bye  to  the  trenches  and 
drop  back  five  kilometers  where  we  find  real  rooms,  real  beds,  etc.  There  we 
loaf  like  kings ;  we  have  time  really  to  do  something,  even  write  to  friends 
and  it  seems  to  me  that  I  am  going  to  be  able  to  do  that — at  first  you  have  to 
get  somewhat  accustomed  to  the  new  atmosphere.    Now  that  I  have  seen  all

468  THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS  [June 

the  sights  of  the  village  of (censored)  it  seems  to  me  that  I  am  going 

to  have  time  to  myself  for  these  six  days,  especially  since  bridge  which  I 
played  pooriy  has  given  place  to  football  which  I  don't  play  at  all.  As  a 
matter  of  fact  that  was  the  great  amusement  this  week.  We  forgot  the  war 
completely  and  I  assure  you  that  sitting  there  on  the  grass  in  the  sunlight 
watching  all  these  young  fellows  running  about  looking  no  longer  like  sol- 
diers, (for  they  have  taken  their  coats  off)  and  hearing  their  bursts  of 
laughter,  you  don't  think  any  more  of  those  Boches,  and,  still,  they 
are  there  and  a  well  aimed  "marmite"  (shell)  might  make  a  loud  roaring 
goal. 

Sometimes  our  amusements  or  distractions  are  somewhat  more  serious 
and  severe.  For  instance,  last  week  the  regiment  was  reviewed  by  General 
de  Castelnau,  in  command  of  the  second  army.  We  were  lined  up  in  a  large 
meadow  like  little  tin  soldiers — it  was  for  all  the  world  like  Longchamps, 
but  our  little  soldiers  are  not  bright  with  polish,  still  their  appearance  is 
picturesque  enough — many  still  have  the  uniforms  they  were  wearing  the 
first  day  of  the  war,  although  many  have  put  on  the  light  blue  coat;  their 
beard  is  a  little  bushy  and  their  hands  are  somewhat  covered  with  earth,  but 
their  guns  are  bright  and  their  eyes  too  when  any  one  mentions  the  Boches, 
and  especially  when  they  speak  of  their  own  department,  Calvados. 

So  that  there  might  be  nothing  lacking  to  make  the  holiday  complete, 
while  the  little  general  followed  by  his  staff  was  passing  down  in  front  of 
the  lines,  we  heard  the  roar  of  cannons  and  a  'Taube"  came  to  see  what 
was  going  on  and  went  off  to  give  its  report. — The  colonel  introduced  me 
to  the  general.  The  latter  asked  me  what  I  did  when  in  civil  life.  "Profes- 
sor in  the  University  of  Michigan,"  said  I,  adding,  "in  America"  (for  even 
a  general  is  not  supposed  to  know  everything).  *'That's  very  fine.  I  hope 
that  you  have  brought  with  you  that  spirit  of  initiative  which  is  characteristic 
of  Americans,"  said  he,  shaking  my  hand.  Then  to  the  tune  of  "Sambre  et 
Aleuse"  we  filed  past  in  front  of  the  great  chief.

F.  W.  Zinn,  '14^,  who  went  to  Europe  just  before  the  war  broke  out, 
was  one  of  the  first  Americans  to  enlist  in  the  French  army.  In  a  recent 
letter  to  Mr.  John  J.  Cox,  instructor  in  civil  engineering,  he  gives  a  vivid 
account  of  the  work  done  by  the  army.  He  is  now  in  the  second  foreign 
regiment,  first  company,  eighteenth  army  corps.  The  letter,  which  bears  the 
censor's  stamp,  follows  in  part : 

Secteur  Postale  No.  6. 

France,  April  22,  1915. 
"Dear  Mr.  Cox  :— 

I  am  afraid  that  by  this  time  I  have  forgotten  most  of  the  engineering 
I  ever  knew,  but  at  the  same  time  have  had  a  very  good  chance  to  study 
French  roads.

1QI5]  UFE  IN  THE  TRENCHES  469 

In  the  two  months  of  training  we  had  in  Paris  and  Rouen  and  later 
in  Toulouse,  we  covered  a  good  many  miles  of  them  and  the  localities  were 
so  widely  separated  that  we  had  a  good  basis  for  comparison.  No  French 
roads  are  bad,  but  those  in  the  Midi,  especially  the  ones  close  to  the  Pyrenees, 
can't  even  compare  with  those  on  the  frontier. 

You  can  have  no  idea  of  the  terrific  punishment  that  some  of  these 
ordinarily  light  traffic  highways  have  taken  since  the  beginning  of  the  war. 
The  continual  stream  of  Paris  motor-busses  that  help  make  up  the  army 
transport,  together  with  the  heavy  artillery  and  ammunition  wagons,  are 
enough  to  kill  an  ordinary  road  in  a  month,  but  these  routes  honestly  seem 
to  thrive  under  it.  One  of  these  department  roads  crosses  the  hill  we  occupy 
very  close  to  this  point. 

From  here  to  the  rear  every  night  there  is  a  very  heavy  artillery  traffic, 
while  on  the  front  side  of  the  hill  where  the  road  goes  toward  the  German 
position  in  Craonne,  there  hasn't  been  a  vehicle  in  months.  We  go 
along  there  sometimes  at  night — no  one,  unless  he  wants  to  commit  suicide, 
would  go  out  there  in  the  day  time — and  from  surface  indications  at  least, 
the  road  to  the  rear  is  in  as  good  condition  as  this  stretch. 

In  this  country  there  are  no  fenced  fields  or  scattered  farmhouses  to 
trouble  the  road  engineer,  but  there  are  hundreds  and  hundreds  of  little 
villages  to  be  linked  up.  A  little  farther  south,  in  the  grape  country  around 
Reims,  the  question  of  grades  must  be  pretty  bothersome. 

The  general  details  of  design  seem  to  be  about  the  same  here  as  they 
are  in  the  States.  There  are  plenty  of  chances  to  study  the  cross  section. 
Every  **mannite"  that  explodes  makes  a  good  test  pit.  The  depth  of  the 
metal  isn't  unusually  great  when  you  look  at  it,  but  when  you  have  to  dig 
through  it  it  is  another  proposition. 

A  while  a^o — the  night  before  the  Kaiser's  birthday,  to  be  exact — ^the 
Germans  made  a  fairly  heavy  attack  close  on  our  right.  The  regiment  next 
to  us  was  getting  a  pretty  heavy  pressure  and  every  minute  we  expected  to  get 
it  on  the  flank.  We  were  doing  all  we  could  to  strengthen  our  position  on 
that  side. 

Our  section  was  detailed  to  cut  the  Pontivert  road.  French  rockets  and 
German  flares  were  going  up  by  the  dozen,  and  all  the  artillery  around  us, 
even  the  105's  in  the  reserve  batteries,  were  working  up  to  full  capacity, 
making  such  a  racket  that  you  couldn't  hear  an  order.  That  was  an  ordinary 
harmless  looking  piece  of  road  that  we  were  trying  to  dig  through,  but,  say, 
I'd  swear  that  it  seemed  as  if  the  thing  was  four  feet  thick  and  solid  rock 
all  the  way  down. 

We  didn't  have  to  use  the  trench  after  all— the  34th  held  finely,  but  lost 
over  400  in  killed  al^ne. 

We  have  helped  the  14th  artillery  build  a  stretch  of  five  kilometers  of 
corduroy  through  a  swamp  near  here.  The  big  timber  has  all  been  used  for 
fortifications ;  so  we  used  bundles  of  fagots  instead  of  logs  for  the  founda- 
tion. But  the  thing  has  to  be  watched  pretty  carefully,  or  the  dirt  covering 
wears  through  exposing  the  branches  and  then  it  goes  to  pieces  very  rapidly. 

I  wish  you  could  see  some  of  the  other  work  around  here  that  the  "genie" 
are  doing,  especially  the  tunneling  and  mining.     And  on  the  German  side

they  must  be  even  more  active  than  we  are.  To  judge  by  the  amount  of  dirt 
that  they  have  pushed  out,  they  must  have  made  that  plateau  into  a  veritable 
fortress.  The  French  tried  to  take  the  position  last  fall,  and  did  succeed  in 
getting  into  Craonne,  but  w^ere  caught  by  the  artillery  and  forced  back.  Even 
now  there  are  hundreds  of  dead  lying  on  the  slope.  We  have  been  waiting 
all  winter  for  the  troops  at  Berry-au-Bac — that  is  about  eight  miles  from 
here — to  advance  up  even  with  this  point,  but  they  seem  to  have  trouble 
enough  in  holding  their  position,  to  say  nothing  about  advancing. 

I  see  by  the  home  papers  that  they  are  counting  on  the  war  ending  in 
three  or  four  months,  and  in  Paris  they  seem  to  be  almost  equally  hopeful. 
But  I  can  tell  you  frankly  that  such  optimism  isn't  shared  by  the  men  on  the 
line.  None  of  us  here  have  more  than  the  faintest  hopes  of  being  through 
before  next  Christmas  and  perhaps  not  then. 

After  it  is  over,  it  looks  as  if  opportunities  would  be  fairly  good  for 
such  of  us  as  are  not  left  hanging  on  the  barbed  wire.  Six  out  of  the  30  odd 
that  made  up  the  original  American  outfit  were  engineers,  but  they  are  pretty 
well  thinned  out  now.  One  of  them,  a  fine  fellow  from  Chicago,  was  killed 
a  short  time  ago.  But  in  spite  of  everything  this  side  has  to  offer,  the  States 
will  look  mighty  good  to  all  of  us. 

Please  give  my  regards  to  Professor  Riggs  and  the  others  and  to  any  of 
the  boys  that  may  be  back.  Your  friend, 

F.  W.  ZiNN. 


THE  ALUMNI  CLUB  OF  CLEVELAND 

Michigan  spirit  in  Cleveland,  Ohio,  recently  received  a  decided  impetus 
from  two  directions. 

To  give  the  Alumni  Association  a  stronger  working  organization  for 
future  activities,  a  new  constitution  was  adopted  by  the  association  at  a 
meeting  April  8  at  the  Colonial  Hotel.  In  the  future,  the  association  is  to 
be  known  as  the  Michigan  Club,  this  name  being  decided  upon  at  the  same 
meeting.  Under  this  name  the  association  can  include  in  its  membership 
fornier  students  at  the  University  of  Michigan,  who  did  not  study  there 
long  enough  to  secure  a  degree. 

The  new  constitution  is  modeled  on  the  constitutions  of  the  alumni  as- 
sociations in  New  York  and  Chicago,  which  have  been  among  the  most 
active  of  the  associations  in  any  cities.  This  constitution  provides  for  a 
board  of  governors  of  twelve  members,  which,  in  the  future,  will  control 
the  activity  of  the  organization.  It  was  believed  this  feature  of  a  central 
governing  body  will  eliminate  much  of  the  delay  and  hit  or  miss  method  of 
procedure  which  has  somewhat  hampered  the  activity  of  the  ClevelanS  As- 
sociation in  the  past. 

The  second  move  to  instil  better  spirit  among  the  alumni  in  Cleveland 
came  from  the  women  graduates  of  the  University  who  are  now  making 
their  home  there.  This  was  the  forming  of  the  Cleveland  Alumnae  Asso- 
ciation of  the  University  of  Michigan  on  March  9,  an  account  of  which  was

given  a  month  or  so  ago  in  The;  Alumnus.  This  auxiliary  is  now  planning 
to  take  an  active  part  in  the  work  of  the  regular  alumni  association  and  also 
to  make  itself  an  active  factor  among  women's  clubs  in  the  City. 

Immediately  upon  the  adoption  of  the  new  constitution  by  the  regular 
alumni  association  at  the  April  meeting,  the  following  were  elected  to  serve 
on  the  first  board  of  governors:  Dr.  Elroy  M.  Avery,  '71,  Ph.M.  75;  Ho* 
mer  D.  Messick,  '94/;  Charles  T.  Harris,  '75;  Alfred  G.  Caq^enter,  '76/: 
Frank  E.  Bliss,  ^3^,  '79/;  Ralph  B.  Textor,  '09;  L  L.  Evans,  '10/;  Paul  R. 


CHARLES  P.  BRUSH,  '69 

Brown,  *io/;  F.  C.  West,  ^'o5-'io;  James  H.  Herron,  '09^;  former  Judge 
William  L.  Day,  'ool ;  and  Dr.  Henry  C.  Brainerd,  '69m.  The  first  four  were 
elected  to  serve  for  three  years,  the  next  four  for  two  years  and  the  remain- 
ing to  serve  until  the  next  annual  meeting  of  the  Association. 

Present  officers  of  the  Association  are :  President,  Homer  D.  Messick, 
'94/;  vice-president,  Ralph  B.  Textor,  '09;  secretary  and  treasurer,  V.  B. 
Guthrie,  '10.  At  the  annual  meeting  in  June  new  officers  for  the  ensuing 
year  and  four  members  of  the  board  of  governors  will  be  elected. 

Among  the  plans  of  the  Association  for  the  coming  year  are  a  banquet 
of  Cleveland  and  northern  Ohio  alumni,  and  a  series  of  smokers  and  dinners.

Each  Thursday  noon  the  Association  has  a  luncheon  at  the  Chamber  of 
Commerce  where  Michigan  men  meet  informally  and,  for  half  an  hour  or 
so,  forget  their  business  cares  in  talking  over  college  days. 

Among  the  more  recent  functions  of  the  Cleveland  Alumni  Association 
was  a  banquet  held  at  the  University  Club  May  15,  1914.  About  seventy- 
five  attended.  Dr.  Elroy  M.  Avery  was  toastmaster.  Professor  Robert  E.

'87;^,  *88-'89,  of  the  Medical  School,  and  two  members  of  the  Michigan 
l^nion  Opera  cast  were  present  from  Ann  Arbor. 

The  remodeling  of  the  Cleveland  Association  brought  up  memories  to 
several  of  the  older  Cleveland  alumni  of  the  first  formal  organization  of 
University  of  Michigan  alumni  in  Cleveland.  One  of  the  present  board  of 
governors  was  a  member  of  the  executive  committee  of  the  first  organization 
of  Cleveland  men  in  that  city.  This  is  Frank  E.  Bliss.  Mr.  Bliss  is  also  one 
of  the  directors  of  the  recently  organized  **M''  Club.  Dr.  Elroy  M.  Avery 
is  another  of  the  alumni  who  are  now  taking  an  active  part  in  the  work  of 
the  association  who  were  on  the  ground  when  Michigan  men  first  had  their 
organization  in  Cleveland. 

The  first  date  on  which  it  could  be  slid  there  was  an  alumni  association 
of  Michigan  men  in  Cleveland  was  February  11,  1882.  .\  constitution  for 
a  permanent  organization  was  adopted  at  a  formal  mcetin-^:  attended  by  most

Activities  of  this  early  Association  were  not  far  different  from  those 
of  the  present  day  Association.  Banquets  and  social  affairs  were  held  from 
time  to  time,  and,  on  several  occasions  professors  from  the  University  came 
to  Cleveland  to  address  the  Association.  Dr.  Angell,  then  President,  talked 
before  the  early  Association  several  times.

'58 ;  and  Conway  W.  Noble,  '63. 

The  organization  has  been  in  continuous  existence  since  its  inception. 
There  are  at  present  about  400  University  of  Michigan  alumni  in  Cleveland 
and  its  suburbs. 


ENGINEERING  IN  TURKEY 

In  March,  1910,  President  Gates,  of  Robert  College,  called  at  my  office 
in  the  University  of  Michigan  to  know  if  I  would  consider  a  proposition  to 
establish  an  engineering  school  in  connection  with  their  institution.  I  accept- 
ed the  opportunity  and  in  June,  1910,  made  a  trip  to  Constantinople  to  look 
over  the  grounds  and  to  make  tentative  plans  for  the  construction  of  the 
engineering  building.  The  architect,  Professor  Hamlin,  of  Columbia,  accom- 
panied me  to  Constantinople  at  the  same  time  in  connection  with  this  work. 
After  working  out  a  preliminary  layout  for  the  buildings  we  returned  in  the 
fall  of  1910  and  during  the  following  fall  and  winter  the  building  plans  were 
completed  and  the  equipment  purchased  for  the  establishment  of  the  engi- 
neering shops  and  the  construction  of  a  central  heating  and  lighting  plai:it 
for  the  college.  In  July,  1911,  I  obtained  a  leave  of  absence  for  one  year 
from  the  Regents  of  the  University  and  with  my  wife  and  family  moved  to 
Constantinople  to  take  up  the  work  of  establishing  an  engineering  school. 

When  we  arrived  at  Constantinople  the  foundations  of  the  engineering 
building  were  just  being  laid  and  I  found  the  college  was  doing  very  exten- 
sive building  work  in  addition  to  the  engineering  building.  After  being  on 
the  grounds  a  few  weeks  it  was  easy  to  see  that  something  was  wrong  with 
the  progress  of  the  building  work.  A  careful  study  of  conditions  led  me  to 
suspect  that  the  local  architect  and  contractor  were  in  partnership  with  each 
other  and  were  systematically  making  excess  charges  and  thereby  obtaining 
unfair  prices.  At  the  end  of  about  three  months  enough  evidence  was 
obtained  against  the  local  architect  and  contractor  to  ask  for  their  dismissal 
and  they  were  discharged  from  the  work.  These  men  were  both  Italians  and 
they  had  both  been  brought  up  in  the  Orient.     As  I  discovered  later  an

Oriental  Italian  can  devise  more  ways  to  cheat  an  institution  out  of  its 
money  than  any  other  men  I  have  ever  met.  I  had  been  a  contractor  myself 
and  thought  I  knew  the  tricks  of  the  trade  but  these  two  men  taught  me 
dozens  of  new  ones  that  I  had  never  known  before.  Having  dismissed  our 
•contractor  and  local  architect,  it  was  necessary  to  devise  new  means  for 
carrying  on  the  work.  We  sent  to  New  York  and  obtained  a  new  architect, 
Mr.  John  MuUer,  who  carried  on  the  architectural  work  very  successfully. 
In  place  of  the  architect  the  writer  became  the  superintendent  of  construction 
in  connection  with  the  duties  of  developing  the  engineering  school.  We 
hired  all  our  own  men  and  purchased  all  our  own  materials. 

Conditions  of  doing  work  in  Constantinople  are  very  different  from 
those  in  this  country.  In  the  purchase  of  materials  it  is  necessary  to  find 
out  first  where  the  materials  can  be  bought.  The  merchants  in  Constant- 
inople do  not  display  their  wares  and  do  not  advertise.  In  fact,  they  "hide 
their  light  under  a  busher*  so  that  the  government  can  not  find  anything  to 
tax.  As  you  become  better  acquainted  with  the  Constantinople  markets  you 
will  find  that  most  anything  made  in  the  world  can  be  purchased  in  this 
market  if  you  only  know  where  to  find  it.  In  purchasing  large  orders  for 
material  much  of  this  was  imported  from  the  various  countries  of  the  world. 
Our  rough  lumber  and  bill  stuff  was  purchased  in  Roumania,  matched  floor- 
ing in  Sweden,  finishing  lumber  in  Russia,  steel  in  Belgium  and  the  United 
States  and  tile  and  brick  in  France.  After  a  few  months  of  this  work  we 
became  quite  expert  in  the  knowledge  of  what  the  world's  markets  furnished 
and  where  materials  could  best  be  purchased.  Lumber  in  Turkey  is  all  pur- 
chased by  the  cubic  meter  in  the  solid,  that  is,  you  are  charged  for  the  saw 
cut.  We  found  in  finishing  lumber  that  it  was  cheaper  to  buy  the  lumber  in 
the  logs  and  then  hire  men  to  saw  it  by  hand  as  our  forefathers  used  to  saw 
it.  The  amount  of  lumber  saved  between  that  cut  by  a  power  saw  and  that 
•cut  by  a  hand  saw  was  more  than  sufficient  to  pay  for  the  cost  of  sawing. 

In  buying  all  these  materials  it  is  necessary  to  bargain  because  Turkey 
is  a  bargaining  country  and  sometimes  we  spent  a  week  or  ten  days  bargain- 
ing over  a  single  order  of  materials  in  order  to  get  the  price  to  the  proper 
point.  This  is  a  great  handicap  to  anyone  inexperienced  in  purchasing  in 
these  markets  as  there  is  no  such  a  thing  as  one  price  and  you  must  know  the 
price  before  you  commence  to  bargain  or  you  may  pay  a  very  large  percent 
more  than  is  necessary. 

Labor  conditions  too  are  very  different  from  the  labor  conditions  in 
this  country.  The  hours  of  labor  are  from  sunrise  to  sunset.  One-half  hour 
IS  taken  for  breakfast,  an  hour  for  lunch  and  in  some  cases  a  half-hour  for 
supper.  Wages,  of  course,  are  much  less  than  in  this  country.  For  day  labor 
we  pay  from  36  to  40  cents  a  day,  for  carpenters  from  $1  to  $1.25  and  for 
masons  from  $1.20  to  $1.60  per  day.  When  you  consider  these  prices  for 
labor  you  might  think  that  the  cost  of  building  would  be  much  less  than  in 
this  country  but,  quite  on  the  contrary,  I  found  that  building  costs  were  a 
little  more  than  in  this  country  because  a  40  cent  laborer  in  Turkey  is  not 
worthy  of  40  cents  a  day,  when  you  consider  the  amount  of  work  that  he 
can  do  with  the  facilities  which  he  has.  Everything  is  done  by  hand,  even 
to  the  manufacture  of  doors  and  window  casings,  and  all  the  moldings  in

the  building.  The  day  laborers  are  mostly  Kurds.  These  Kurds  are  the 
Irishmen  of  the  East,  rough,  warlike  people,  very  primitive  in  their  mode 
of  living,  but  they  are  the  best  laborers  and  not  afraid  of  hard  work  and 
long  hours.  The  carpenters  are  mostly  Armenians  and  Greeks  and  there 
seems  to  be  very  little  difference  in  the  two  nationalities  in  the  skill  with 
which  they  do  their  work.  Most  of  the  cabinet-makers  I  found  to  be  excel- 
lent and  their  work  compares  very  favorably  with  the  work  done  in  this 
country,  considering  the  tools  which  they  had  to  use.  The  best  brick  masons 
are  Italians  and  Austrians,  with  now  and  then  a  Greek  who  can  do  excellent 
stone  work.  The  Italian  is  more  intelligent  than  the  Austrian,  but  is  not  in 
my  opinion  as  reliable.  Stone  cutting  and  the  more  difficult  stone  work  is 
usually  done  by  Italians.  There  are  some  excellent  Greek  stone  cutters  and 
I  found  that  in  the  stone  cutting  industries  these  men  are  very  expert,  even 
more  expert  than  you  will  find  in  our  own  country.  Our  forge  work  and 
the  work  in  iron  is  mostly  done  by  the  Armenians,  and  I  had  some  excellent 
Armenian  blacksmiths  working  for  me  in  Constantinople.  Now  and  then 
among  the  steel  workers  you  find  a  Belgian.  These  Belgians  are  always 
splendid  steel  workers,  and  understand  their  business  thoroughly.  The 
workman  in  Turkey  is  given  no  facilities  for  doing  work  except  those  of 
the  crudest  kind.  There  are  no  hoists  for  carrying  materials  in  the  build- 
ing, in  fact,  there  are  no  hods  for  mortar  such  as  we  have  and  no  means  of 
carrying  stone.  Everything  is  carried  on  to  the  'building  on  the  man's  back 
and  for  this  purpose  Kurdish  **Hamals"  are  used.  In  fact,  it  is  difficult  to  get 
some  materials  of  suitable  quality  and  price  and  in  the  work  at  Robert  Col- 
lege we  made  all  of  our  own  brick  from  cement  and  broken  stone,  and  quar- 
ried all  our  own  building  stone  on  the  college  grounds.  The  big  stones  were 
put  into  the  buildings,  the  smaller  stones  made  into  lime  and  the  fine  stones 
made  into  cement  brick. 

Soon  after  I  arrived  there  I  found  that  the  cost  of  doing  wood  work  was 
so  high  that  it  would  be  very  desirable  to  instal  wood  working  machinery 
for  making  doors,  window  frames  and  moldings,  so  that  to  the  college  equip- 
ment in  the  shops  were  added  machines  suitable  for  making  the  wood  work 
in  the  buildings  and  in  the  last  three  buildings  completed  all  the  wood  work 
was  made  in  the  college  shops. 

The  greatest  difficulty  in  doing  work  in  Turkey  is  in  handling  the  labor. 
The  labor  is  indolent  and  unintelligent.  In  fact,  I  have  often  remarked, 
*'that  the  brains  of  the  workmen  in  Constantinople  were  as  good  as  new  for 
they  had  never  been  used."  It  required  very  close  supervision  in  order  to 
secure  a  satisfactory  piece  of  work.  In  addition  there  are  the  same  troubles 
from  strikes  and  grievances  of  the  workmen  as  we  have  in  this  country. 
They  are  always  trying  to  see  if  they  can  not  get  a  little  more  money  and  do 
a  little  less  work.  In  many  ways  I  think  that  it  is  worse  than  in  this  country 
as  they  lack  the  intelligence  of  our  own  workmen. 

Contracting  in  Turkey  is  quite  different  than  in  this  country.  In  fact, 
it  is  almost  impossible  to  let  a  building  for  a  lump  sum  contract.  The  law 
in  Turkey  provides  that  if  a  contractor  agrees  to  build  a  house  for  a  certain 
amount  of  money  and  after  the  house  is  three-fourths  built  he  finds  that  the 
money  is  all  used  up  he  can  legally  call  on  the  owner  for  more  money  and  the

owner  must  furnish  him  with  sufficient  money  to  build  the  house.  This 
makes  it  almost  impossible  to  do  work  by  contract.  We  developed,  how- 
ever, a  system  of  contracting  which  worked  out  very  well  and  might  even 
be  used  in  this  country.  All  materials  and  labor  were  purchased  by  the 
college  and  the  workmen  agreed  either  individually  or  in  groups  to  do  the 
work  at  so  much  per  unit.  The  brick  work  was  done  at  so  much  per  super- 
ficial foot  for  a  given  thickness  of  wall,  stone  work  at  so  much  per  cubic 
meter,  wood  work  was  erected  at  so  much  per  square  meter,  plastering  at 
so  much  per  square  meter  and  every  individual'item  of  the  building  construc- 
tion was  contracted  for  in  this  way  for  the  labor  only.  This  system  worked 
out  very  weM,  the  only  possible  criticism  being  that  it  required  a  pretty  large 
supervising  force.  Work,  however,  that  was  not  satisfactory  was  turned 
down  and  only  the  finished  work  that  had  been  accepted  was  paid  for. 

The  older  buildings  in  Constantinople  are  either  built  of  solid  stone 
construction  or  of  wood.  Most  private  residences  are  built  of  wood  with 
tile  roofs,  while  most  public  buildings  are  built  of  stone  with  steel  beams 
and  brick  arches  for  the  floor  construction.  Modern  methods  of  construc- 
tion, however,  are  rapidly  being  introduced  in  Turkey  and  all  over  the  city 
there  are  being  erected  reinforced  concrete  buildings  of  strictly  modem 
construction.  The  government  has  adopted  this  form  of  construction  for 
its  custom  house  buildings.  The  Turks  are  just  beginning  to  instal  central 
heating  systems  and  the  newer  office  buildings  and  most  of  the  large  flat 
buildings  that  have  recently  been  erected  have  had  hot  water  heating  plants 
installed  in  the  building.  They  are  also  beginning  to  instal  modern  plumb- 
ing. Plumbing  is  always  adapted  to  Turkish  use.  There  are  some  peculiar- 
ities of  the  Oriental  people  in  this  respect.  An  Oriental  will  never  wash 
except  in  running  water  and  wash  basins  are  not  installed  but  in  their  place 
a  small  tap  running  into  a  trough  serves  the  purpose  for  the  Oriental.  In 
the  same  way  in  the  Turkish  houses  bath  tubs  are  not  used  but  shower  baths 
are  much  preferred. 

The  development  of  modern  conveniences  and  the  introduction  of 
machinery  will  have  more  effect  in  the  breaking  down  of  the  old  Turkish 
customs  and  religious  fanaticism  than  any  other  influence  in  the  develop- 
ment of  Turkey.  John  R.  Allen,  '92e,

A  QUARTER  CENTURY  OF  BOTANY  AT 

MICHIGAN 

The  close  .of  the  present  academic  year  is  to  mark  the  transfer  in  this 
University  of  six  laboratory  sciences  from  inadequate  and  inhospitable 
quarters  in  recitation  rooms,  attics,  basements  and  cellars  to  adequate  and 
congenial  quarters  built  for  particular  laboratory  uses. 

During  a  quarter  of  a  century  the  writer  as  a  member  of  one  of  these 
six  departments — the  botanical — has  seen  them  grow  from  small  size  to 
their  present  important  development,  has  seen  them  in  the  face  of  discour-

aging  surroundings  struggling  to  maintain  their  position  in  the  world  of 
science.  It  would  be  a  worthy  task  to  attempt  to  trace  the  progress,  to  name 
the  milestones  along  the  upward  path  of  each  of  these  departments ;  but  the 
writer  must  limit  himself  to  his  own  department,  knowing  that  what  he  may 
say  of  the  progress  of  this  one  could  be  in  general  extended  to  the  others 
as  well. 

Twenty-five  years  ago,  the  Department  of  Botany  occupied  two  rooms 
of  one  thousand  square  feet  each  in  the  north  wing  of  University  Hall,  one 
room  on  the  fourth  floor,  used  as  a  laboratory,  and  the  other  room  on  the 
second  floor,  used  to  house  the  plant  collections.  All  the  laboratory  work 
of  the  department  was  done  in  the  one  room  on  the  fourth  floor.  The  staff 
consisted  of  one  professor  and  one  instructor.  The  total  number  of  regis- 
trations of  literary  students  in  the  department  for  the  first  semester  of  the 
y^r  189091  was  31 ;  the  number  of  courses  offered  was  four. 

A  table  will  show  at  a  glance  the  changes  in  students,  staff  and  courses 
for  the  last  25  years,  the  numbers  being  for  the  first  semester  of  each  year ; 
the  number  of  different  students  would  ^  not  more  than  7%  below  the 
number  of  registrations : 

1890    1900    1910    1915 

Student  registrations   43  137  301  444 

Staff  2  3  6  7 

Courses  4  8  13  19 

In  1891,  the  department  was  moved  from  the  two  rooms  in  the  north 
wing  of  University  Hall  to  the  four  rooms  on  the  fourth  floor  of  the  south 
wing,  thus  giving  the  department  about  4,000  square  feet  of  floor  space 
for  laboratory  and  herbarium.  Later  three  additional  rooms  were  occupied 
on  the  ground  floor  of  the  south  wing,  the  ends  of  the  hallways  were  cut 
off  for  small  private  rooms,  and  storerooms  were  fitted  up  in  the  attic  giving 
finally  about  7,500  square  feet  of  floor  space  for  laboratory  and  2,500  square 
feet  for  herbarium  and  storeroom.  For  lecture  rooms,  the  department  has 
always  been  obliged  to  depend  on  the  courtesy  and  convenience  of  other 
departments. 

Thirty  years  ago  the  study  of  botany  and  zoology  in  universities  was 
little  more  than  anatomy  and  classification.  Twenty-five  years  ago,  when 
the  writer  became  a  member  of  the  botanical  staff.  Professor  Spalding  in 
botany  and  Professor  Reighard  in  zoology  had  recently  introduced  that  study 
of  the  structure  and  activities  of  living  things  which  we  term  biology,  the 
science  which  in  both  botany  and  zoology  has  since  yielded  such  splendid 
results  and  which  claims  now  the  principal  attention  of  the  followers  of  these 
two  sciences.  But  a  quarter  of  a  century  ago  this  side  of  botany  was  still 
elementary,  and  its  present  stately  proportions  have  been  attained  almost 
wholly  within  the  period  of  the  writer's  experience  in  this  University.  The 
roster  of  early  botanical  professors  is  illumined  by  the  names  of  Asa  Gray, 
Sager,  Hilgard,  Winchell  and  Harrington ;  but  Professor  Spalding,  coming 
in  1876,  was  the  first  instructor  to  give  all  his  time  to  botany  and  to  him

must  ever  belong  the  credit  of  introducing  the  biological  study  of  botany 
into  this  University. 

The  study  of  biology  requires  the  control  of  conditions  and  the  exten- 
sion of  equipment  far  more  varied  and  rfiuch  more  expensive  than  the  older 
methods  of  study.  The  Department  of  Botany  was  soon  therefore  confronted 
with  the  need  of  providing  this  equipment  or  losing  in  the  competitive  race 
with  other  universities.  In  apparatus  it  equipped  itself  as  well  as  any  uni- 
versity ;  it  adapted  its  laboratories  to  the  newer  study  as  well  as  the  rather 
rigid  construction  would  allow ;  in  1903  it  began  the  rent  of  a  small  space  in 
a  neighboring  greenhouse.  Experimental  greenhouses  and  gardens  are  a 
prime  necessity  for  satisfactory  work,  and  the  department  tried  many  ways 
to  supply  the  deficiency.  In  1906,  Dr.  Walter  H.  Nichols  and  wife,  both 
former  students  in  botany  in  the  University,  presented  to  the  University  30 
acres  of  land  about  one  mile  from  the  Campus,  to  be  used  for  a  botanical 
garden  and  arboretum.  On  this  ground  a  small  greenhouse  was  erected  in 
1908.  Though  this  land  and  greenhouse  have  been  of  considerable  aid,  the 
department  must  have  a  much  better  provision  in  garden  and  greenhouses 
before  it  can  use  most  efficiently  the  extensive  equipment  which  it  hus  in 
apparatus  and  staff. 

Notwithstanding  the  unfavorable  quarters  to  which  the  department  has 
always  been  confined,  the  number  of  students  has  increased  from  the  34  in 
the  first  semester  in  189091  to  444  in  the  first  semester  of  1914-15,  these  all 
literary  students  to  whom  could  be  added  51  pharmacy  students  taking  work 
in  the  Botanical  Department.  This  growth  is,  as  one  can  readily  see,  more 
rapid  than  the  growth  in  numbers  of  the  literary  department  or  than  the 
whole  University.  During  the  past  ten  years,  the  Literary  College  has  in- 
creased in  numbers  about  62.5%,  the  Botanical  Department  100%.  No 
department  on  the  Campus,  with  the  possible  exception  of  the  chemical, 
enrolls  as  many  literary  students  in  laboratory  work  as  does  the  botanical. 
None  of  the  universities  in  neighboring  states  shows  as  high  a  percentage 
of  literary  students  electing  laboratory  work  in  botany  as  does  Michigan. 
Here  about  one  literary  student  in  every  six  takes  work  in  botany.  In  neigh- 
boring universities  the  proportion  runs  from  one  in  thirty  to  one  in  seven. 

Besides  the  instruction  of  imdergraduates,  that  other  side  of  university 
life — the  contribution  to  knowledge  and  the  training  of  men  and  women  for 
professional  service — has  not  been  forgotten.  Neglecting  the  numerous 
publications  of  lesser  importance,  the  published  contributions  to  knowledge 
from  the  Botanical  Department  have  numbered  146,  of  which  99  were  by 
members  of  the  staff,  the  others  by  students.  Nearly  one-half  the  total 
number  have  been  published  within  the  past  10  years. 

In  professional  life,  those  who  have  specialized  in  botany  at  Michigan 
within  the  last  25  years,  are  numbered  by  the  hundred  in  secondary  schools, 
and  by  the  score  in  institutions  of  higher  learning.  Thirty  have  held,  and 
twenty-seven  are  still  holding  professors'  or  instructors'  chairs  in  universi- 
ties, (including  Johns  Hopkins,  Cornell,  Syracuse,  Ohio,  Illinois,  Michigan, 
Wisconsin,  Nebraska,  Washington  State  and  California),  over  35  in  colleges

or  normal  schools,  and  over  30  working  as  experts  along  botanical  lines  in 
the  Government  service  or  other  research  institutions. 

The  first  doctorate  in  botany  conferred  by  this  University  was  given 
in  1878,  and  there  were  but  three  others  up  to  the  year  1900.  Altogether  22 
such  doctorates  have  been  given.  Compared  with  these  22  in  botany,  23 
doctorates  have  been  given  in  Latin,  22  in  economics,  and  20  in  philosophy 
and  psychology  combined.  The  other  departments  show  numbers  consid- 
erably less.  An  examination  of  this  25-year  period  shows  that  whereas  up 
to  the  year  1900  the  group  of  departments  including  philosophy,  economics, 
history,  and  languages  had  almost  three  times  the  number  of  doctors  of  phil- 
osophy as  the  scientific  departments,  during  the  last  15  years  the  doctors 
in  the  scientific  departments  have  exceeded  all  others.  In  these  last  15 
years,  botany  has  had  the  highest  number  of  doctors,  namely  18,  while 
physics  and  Latin  come  next,  each  with  15,  and  chemistry  third  with  12. 

Some  critics  are  given  to  scoffing  at  the  number  of  doctors  of  philosophy 
now  being  made  by  the  universities.  No  general  consideration  need  be  given 
here  to  this  criticism.  But  the  Department  of  Botany  has  exact  knowledge 
as  to  the  standing  of  its  22  doctors,  and  the  following  summary  will  show 
that  all  have  taken  professional  positions;  9  doctors  hold  positions  in  uni- 
versities; 6  are  professors  or  instructors  in  colleges,  agricultural  colleges 
or  normal  schools ;  3  are  experts  in  government  agricultural  positions ;  one 
is  peat  expert  in  the  Bureau  of  Mines;  one  is  inspector  of  high  school 
science  for  the  State  of  Wisconsin;  one  has  retired  after  holding  college 
positions;  and  one  died  while  professor  of  botany  in  a  state  agricultural 
college.  Of  the  21  living  doctors,  15  are  still  engaged  in  research.  There 
has  never  been  difficulty  in  securing  positions  for  these  doctors.  The  most 
of  them  act  for  one  or  more  years  as  assistants  in  the  laboratory,  and  thereby 
receive  a  course  of  training  which  is  designed  to  aid  in  fitting  them  for  in- 
structors' or  investigators'  positions,  and  which  gives  their  instructors  the 
knowledge  necessary  for  recommendation  to  suitable  positions. 

To  this  retrospect  there  may  be  permitted  a  glance  to  the  future :  With 
the  opening  of  the  new  laboratories  next  year  there  is  danger  of  too  great 
an  increase  in  the  numbers  of  students.  It  has  been  the  history  of  other 
departments  in  the  University.  The  material  equipment  too  will  be  far 
greater  than  in  the  past,  and  the  staff  will  need  to  be  watchful  lest  the 
machine  take  all  their  time  in  its  operation.  If  the  land  recently  acquired 
for  the  purpose  is  equipped  with  gardens  and  experimental  greenhouses  as 
already  planned  and  the  work  of  the  department  is  well  organized,  the  staff 
will  be  able  not  only  to  do  better  teaching  than  ever  before,  to  prepare  ex- 
perts for  more  varied  biological  work,  but  to  engage  in  and  direct  research 
in  new  problems  with  both  theoretical  and  practical  bearing.  In  doing  these 
things  the  department  will  be  able  to  align  itself  with  those  of  other  insti- 
tutions which  have  anticipated  Michigan  in  providing  modern  facilities. 

May  the  success  of  the  new  period  soon  to  open  justify  the  hopes  which 
have  prompted  the  extensive  preparations  now  being  made  to  extend  the 
field  of  operations.

ATHLETICS 


MICHIGAN  AT  THE  EASTERN  INTER- 
COLLEGIATE 

Michigan's  track  team  closed  its  season 
on  May  28  and  29,  when  Coach  Farrell  en- 
tered an  even  dozen  athletes  in  the  Eastern 
Intercollegiates.  The  majority  of  these  men 
were  sophomores,  sent  into  the  big  classic 
more  for  the  training  which  they  were  sure 
to  derive  from  the  competition  than  from 
a  hope  or  expectation  that  they  would 
gather  points  for  the  Varsity  score. 

The  expectations  of  their  coach  were 
fulfilled,  but  at  the  same  time  his  belief 
that  Captain  Smith  and  others  of  his 
stars  would  do  well  was  more  than  fK)rne 
out,  for  three  Michigan  men  ran  up  a  total 
of  14  points  and  put  the  Wolverines  into 
a  tie  with  Dartmouth  for  6th  place  in  the 
standings. 

Captain  Harold  Smith  tied  with  Mere- 
ditjh,  of  Pennsylvania,  for  high  individual 
honors  of  the  meet,  the  Wolverine  taking 
first  place  in  both  the  dashes,  while  Mere- 
dith made  a  similar  record  in  the  quarter 
and  half-mile  events.  The  work  of  Smith 
was  a  complete  surprise  to  the  easterners, 
who  had  looked  to  Pennsylvania  and  Cor- 
neH  to  win  the  majority  of  the  points  in 
the  sprints.  Carroll,  iMichigan's  miler,  ran 
third  in  this  event,  a  race  which  was  staged 
in  the  fast  time  of  4:22  4-5.  Wilson  took 
fifth  place  in  the  pole  vault,  making  11  feet, 
after  having  done  12  feet  the  day  before. 
But  inasmuch  as  the  meet  boasted  of  numer- 
ous vaulters  who  had  done  the  12- foot 
height  at  one  time  or  other,  and  who  fell 
down  at  the  Intercollegiate,  the  work  of 
Wilson  was  not  surprising. 

Cornell  won  the  meet  in  easy  fashion,  her 
well-balanced  team  being  conceded  the  hon- 
ors before  the  preliminaries  were  over.  The 
Ithacans  made  45^/2  points.  Harvard  was 
second  with  26,  Yale  third  with  25,  and 
Princeton  and  Pennsylvania  were  tied  for 
fourth  with  21  each. 


MICHIGAN  WINS  TRACK  MEET  FROM 
SYRACUSE 

Michigan  had  little  trouble  in  proving  to 
the  Syracuse  track  team  that  the  indoor 
victory  of  the  Varsity  last  winter  was  not 
a  fluice,  by  taking  the  outdoor  meet  on 
Ferry  Field  on  May  15  by  the  score  of 
73  2-3  to  48  1-3.    Coach  Far r ell's  men  were 


never  in  danger,  taking  nine  firsts  and  the 
majority    of    the    scattering    points. 

Captain  Smith  and  O'Brien  ran  away  with 
the  dasfhes,  while  the  Varsity  middle  dis- 
tance men  had  little  trouble  in  picking 
up  the  larger  portion  of  the  points  in  those 
runs.  The  youngsters  who  have  represent- 
ed Michigan  this  year  in  the  440-yard  dash 
showed  their  mettle  in  this  race  by  forcing 
the  speedy  Mixer  to  go  at  top  speed  to  win 
that  event,  and  then  by  racing  the  fast 
Orange  mile  relay  quartette  nearly  an  even 
event  for  the  final  run  of  the  day. 

This  relay  race  was  easily  the  feature  of 
the  day,  with  the  Michigan  sophomores 
proving  an  unexpected  match  for  the  seas- 
oned Syracuse  quarter-milers. 

The  field  events  were  evenly  divided, 
Bastian  barely  saving  ^Michigan  from  being 
completely  shut  out  in  the  hammer  throw 
by  taking  a  third,  while  Syracuse  managed 
to  get  in  on  a  three-cornered  tie  for  sec-

THE  INTERSCHOLASTIC  MEET 

The  1915  Michigan  Interscholastic  proved 
a  big  success,  with  the  advent  of  a  new 
tvpe  of  meet  calling  for  competition  by 
Class  A  and  Class  B  schools.     The  result

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[June 


was  a  bigger  entry  list,  an  added  interest 
on  the  part  of  the  smaller  schools  of  Mich- 
igan, and  a  more  general  competition. 

Out-of-state  schools  carried  away  the 
major  portion  of  the  honors,  La  Grange 
High  School  from  Illinois  taking  first,  with 
Lewis  Institute  of  Chicago  second.  The 
victory  of  the  La  Grange  team  was  by  a 
bare  two  points,  and  it  was  not  certain  tintil 
after  one  of  the  judges  had  corrected  his 
returns  which  had  given  Lewis  Institute 
a  tie. 

University  High,  of  Chicago,  last  year's 
winner,  finished  third,  with  Eastern  High 
of  Detroit  and  Muskegon  as  the  highest 
Michigan  teams. 

A  muddy  track  and  absence  of  stars  re- 
sulted in  comparatively  slow  marks  in 
spite  of  the  high  wind  which  blew  down 
the  stretch.  There  were  no  performances 
such  as  were  credited  last  year  to  Spink 
and  Carter  of  University  High,  and  Rob- 
inson of  Keewatin  Academy. 

As  a  result  of  the  cordial  entertainment 
offered  the  visiting  high  school  lads,  and 
their  favorable  impression  gained  of  Mich- 
igan and  her  athletics,  it  is  reported  that 
many  of  t*he  most  prominent  winners  of  this 
vear's  prep  meet  will  be  in  Ann  Arbor  next 
fall. 


VARSITY  WINS  NOTRE  DAME  MEET 

By  nearly  the  same  score  which  marked 
their  victory  in  the  other  outdoor  track 
meet  of  the  1915  season,  the  Varsity  won 
from  Notre  Dame  on  May  8th  on  the  South 
Bend  field.  The  final  score  was  75  2-3  to  50 
1-3. 

Coach  Farrell  took  25  men  to  Notre 
Dame  with  him,  the  biggest  track  squad 
which  has  ever  been  taken  to  a  meet  by  a 
Michigan  coach.  The  fact  that  in  the  in- 
door clash  every  man  who  was  included  in 
this  spring  squad  had  scored  for  Michigan^ 
was  the  deciding  factor  in  picking  the  team. 

The  Varsity  dash  men  redeemed  them- 
selves for  the  defeat  they  had  previously 
suffered  at  the  hands  of  the  Catholic  sprint- 
ers by  this  time  taking  nearly  all  the  points 
in  the  100  and  the  220  events.  The  hurdles 
resulted  in  nearly  the  same  conclusion,  with 
Corbin,  Crumpacker  and  Catlett  carrying 
away  nearly  every  place. 

As  usual,  Michigan  won  nearly  every- 
thing in  the  runs,  with  Carroll  starring. 
l>onnel*ly  took  a  pretty  race  from  Burns  of 
Notre  E)ame  by  winning  in  the  last  50  yards. 
Bachnian  of  Notre  Dame  managed  to  get 
several  points  for  his  team  in  the  weights, 
but  the  advantage  -won  there  was  too  slight 
to  be  of  consequence. 


FKESHMAN  TRACK  MEN  DEFEATED 
BY  IS1A,C 

While  the  Varsity  was  competing  at  the 
Eastern  Intercollegiates,  the  Michigan 
freshmen  lost  their  only  outdoor  meet  of 
the  season,  being  forced  to  take  second  to 
the  Michigan  Agricultural  College  Varsity 
by  the  score  of  70  1-3  to  58  2-3. 

Three  of  the  All-Fresh  stars  were  not  in 
the  team  which  met  the  Aggies,  and  to  their 
absence  the  defeat  is  ascribed.  Captain  Al 
Robinson,  sure  winner  in  the  quarter  mile 
and  a  point  winner  in  the  dashes.  Wicker- 
sham  in  the  hurdles  and  Loud  in  the 
weights  were  all  absent.  And  true  to  ex- 
pectations the  Aggies  scored  heavily  in 
these  events. 

The  meet  was  staged  on  a  track  which 
was  very  heavy  with  mud  from  a  steadily 
drizzling  rain  and  good  time  was  an  impos- 
sibility. Fisher  was  the  best  performer 
for  the  Michigan  youngsters,  while  Beattie 
earned  the  most  points  for  the  Aggies. 

MICHIGAN  LOSES  M.  A.  C  SERIES 

Michigan  and  M.  A.  C.  mixed  this  sea- 
son in  three  games,  and  the  result  of 
the  encounters  was  a  2  to  i  count  against 
the  Varsity.  The  M.  A.  C.  team  won  the 
single  game  staged  on  Ferry  Field,  and  then 
dropped  one  of  the  couple  played  on  their 
own  diamond. 

Sisler  pitched  the  only  winning  game  for 
the  Varsity,  holding  M.  A.  C.  to  two  hits 
while  his  team  mates  were  making  14  safe 
ones  and  running  up  a  total  of  eight  tallies. 
Ferguson  went  into  the  box  for  the  sec- 
ond game,  but  was  relieved  by  Sisler  after 
a  run  had  been  slipped  over  the  home 
plate. 

Considerable  ill-feeling  toward  the  Mich- 
igan team  on  the  part  of  the  M.  A.  C.  root- 
ing section,  conrbined  with  the  bitter  pill 
of  their  defeat,  made  the  trip  to  Lansing  far 
from  an  enjoyable  occasion  for  Coach 
Lundgren  and  his  men.  The  Aggie  rooting 
section  seemed  to  take  supreme  delight  in 
hooting  and  hissing  the  visiting  Wolverines 
and,  according  to  the  team  members,  the 
treatment  which  they  received  was  the 
worst  experienced  throughout  the  present 
year.

ITHACA  WINS  TWO  OUT  OF  THREE 
GAMES 

By  taking  the  game  played  on  Ferry  Field 
and  one  of  the  two  staged  in  Ithaca,  Cor- 
nell stands  a  2  to  i  victor  over  the  Varsity 
for  the  season's  competition  on  the  diamond. 
The  battle  at  Ann  Arbor  was  close,  result- 
ing in  a  2  to  I  victory  for  the  visitors, 
with  Sisler  pitching  for  Michigan. 

The  Varsity  threw  away  numerous  chan- 
ces to  win  this  game  by  their  failure  to 
produce  in  the  tight  places.  Sisler  pitched 
his  usual  strong  game,  but  was  unable  to 
overcome  the  obstacles  which  his  own  team- 
mates placed  in  his  way. 

He  came  back  in  the  Michigan  victory  at 
Ithaca,  however,  winning  by  a  score  of  2 
to  o,  and  holding  the  easterners  to  a  single 
lone  hit.  This  hit  would  not  have  been  scor- 
ed had  not  Waltz  fielded  a  bunted  bail 
which  was  rolHng  toward  the  foul  line  when 
fielded.  The  second  game  at  Ithaca  went 
to  Cornell  by  a  5  to  2  count  after  nine  list- 
less innings.  Ferguson  was  on  the  mound 
for  the  winners. 

The  scores  of  the  three  games  are  as 
follows :

SYRACUSE  WINS 

Michigan  and  Syracuse  clashed  three 
times  on  the  diamond  this  season.  Twice 
the  teams  locked  in  tied  combat  on  Ferry 
Field,  one  game  going  11  innings  and  the 
other  13.  But  the  deciding  battle  was  staged 
in  the  East,  when  the  orange  nine  won 
from  Coach  Lundgren's  men  by  a  9  to  2 


count.  This  year's  record,  for  this  reason, 
stands  in  favor  of  the  Syracuse  colors. 

On  May  6th  Ferguson  of  Michigan  and 
Slater  of  Syracuse  locked  in  a  scoreless 
tie,  o  to  o,  with  neither  team  able  to  score  a 
run.  Twice  the  Varsity  was  near  enough 
to  the  plate  to  seem  likely  to  get  a  run,  but 
each  time  the  players  failed  to  produce  the 
deciding  piinch.  On  two  separate  occasions 
the  first  Michigan  man  up,  one  time  Benton 
and  the  other  time  Waltz,  tripled.  But  each 
time  he  was  left  to  die  on  third  while  the 
.next  three  men  went  out  in  order. 

At  Syracuse  Nichols,  Davidson  and  Mc- 
Namara all  fell  victims  to  the  Orange  bat- 
ters, and  the  deciding  victory  was  recorded. 
Rain  on  the  day  of  the  other  scheduled 
game  made  another  game  impossible. 

The  score  of  two  of  the  games  follow :

TENNIS 

The  1915  Michigan  tennis  team  was  uni- 
formly successful  during  the  past  season, 
winning  five  out  of  its  eight  collegiate 
matches.  Oberlin  and  Pennsylvania  alone 
were  successful  in  trouncing  the  Varsity 
four,  the  Ohio  college  team  being  victor  in 
both  the  match  played  in  Oberlin  and  that 
staged  on  the  new  Ferry  Field  concrete 
court  in  the  midst  of  a  drizzling  rain  on 
May  29th. 

•Captain  Reindel,  Crawford,  Mack  and 
Switzer  made  up  the  regular  Michigan  team, 
although  Polasky  played  in  one  of  the  Ober- 
lin matches. 

The  following  are  the  scores  of  a  few  of 
the  matches: 

Michigan  vs.  Haverford. 

Reindel  defeated  Carey  (H)  2-6,  7-5,  6-3;  Allen 
(H)  defeated  Crawford  6-3,  6-0.

THE  FRESHMAN  TEAM 

Three  victories  and  two  defeats  is  the 
record  for  the  1915  diamond  season  for  the 
Michigan  freshman  nine  under  the  direc- 
tion of  Coach  Tommy  Hughitt.  Twice  the 
Wolverine  youngsters  trounced  the  Ypsilan- 
ti  Normalites.  Once  they  won  and  another 
time  they  lost  to  the  University  of  Detroit. 
an<i  in  the  other  game  they  fell  victims  to 
the  Polish  Seminary  nine  from  Orchard 
Lake. 

The  1918  team  did  not  develop  any  of 
the  stars  who  shone  on  the  1917  team,  and 
Coach  Lundgren  is  rather  worried  about 
the  recruits  he  will  have  from  the  team. 
The  pitching  staff  has  been  composed  chief- 
ly of  Andrus  and  Miller,  and  neither  has 
showTi  e.xceptional  form.  The  batting  of 
the  team  has  been  fair,  while  the  fielding 
has  been  only  average. 


THE  REGENTS'  MEETING 

It  is  aimed  in  this  section  to  ^ive  a  report  of  every  action  taken  by  the  Regents  of  general  interest. 
Routine  financial  business,  appointments  of  assistants,  small  appropriations,  and  lists  of  degrees 
granted,  are  usually  omittea. 

ported  the  opinions  of  the  Deans  of  the 
various  Schools  and  Colleges  of  the  Uni-

APRIL  MEETING 

The  Board  met  in  the  Regents'  Room 
April  22,  1915.  Regent  Leland  and  Superin- 
tendent Keeler  were  absent— Following  a 
recommendation  by  Dean  Cooley  and  Pro- 
fessor Emeritus  J.  B.  Davis,  one  representa- 
tive of  each  class  of  the  University  between 
1876  and  1890  was  appointed  a  member  of  a 
committee  on  the  memorial  for  the  late 
Alfred  Noble,  of  the  Class  of  1870— The 
question  of  the  economical  and  efficient  use 
of  university  buildings  was  discussed  at 
some  length.  The  Board  adopted  the  fol- 
lowing resolution: — 

Resolved,  That  the  Executive  Committee  of  the 
Board  and  Recent  Hubbard,  after  receiving  the

ticularly with  reference  to  the  economical  use  of 
space  in  buildings,  and  report  if  possible  at  the 
next  meeting  of  this  Board. 

—Regent  Clements  presented  sketches  made

ings and  Grounds  for  the  proposed  enlarge- 
ment of  the  Waterman  Gymnasium.  The 
Buildings  and  Grounds  Committee  were 
authorized  to  get  bids  on  these  plans  to  be

ing.—The  Regents  expressed  their  sympa- 
thy with  the  proposal  of  the  Polish  National 
Alliance  and  their  willingness  to  take  up

stead of,  as  now,  $107,  plus  "incidental  fee,  $10, 
and  laboratory  fees),  plus  laboratory  fees  in  each 
case.  The  so-called  ^'incidental  fee"  of  $10  per

CHICAGO 

The  Twenty-eighth  Annual  Dinner  of  the 
Chicago  Alumni  was  held  Saturday  evening. 
May  22.  Two  hundred  loyal  Michigan  men 
rose  as  with  one  impulse  to  greet  the  "liv- 
ing presence"  of  "Prexy"  Angell  as  it 
gleamed  down  from  the  moving  picture 
screen.  Nor  did  the  undiscernable  hub- 
bub, that  noisy  confusion  that  bespeaks  so 
many  reminiscences,  and  so  much  old-time 
comradeship  among  classmates,  waver  till 
John  M.  Zane,  '84,  commanded  attention 
and  announced  the  formal  program. 

President  Hutchins,  Professors  Reeves, 
Sadler,  and  Turner,  Dean  Bates  and  Mr. 
Frank  F.  Reed,  '80,  were  the  guests  of  hon- 
or. The  local  men  joined  liberally  with  the 
speakers  in  adding  to  the  enjoyment  of  the 
program.  Mr.  James  N.  Hatch,  *92e,  Mech. 
E.  '09,  recited  a  poem  composed  in  honor  of 
the  dinner.  Mr,  E.  C.  DeWolfe,  <?'9i-94. 
exhibited  his  mechanical  doll.  Arthur  W. 
Bohnsack,  '10,  was  as  much  at  home  in  the 


rose  room  of  the  La  Salle  as  at  Ferry  Field, 
and  the  yells  that  responded  to  his  call  were 
just  as  full  of  "pep"  as  those  which  had  re- 
sounded in  Ann  Arbor.  Mr.  James  R,  Bib- 
bins,  *gge,  had  to  come  back  for  an  encore. 
He  sang  from  compositions  of  old  class- 
mates. 

Ehiring  the  evening  ballots  were  collected 
and  the  following  men  were  declared  elect- 
ed to  office  for  the  coming  year :

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[June 


CHICAGO  ALUMNAE 

An  event  of  unusual  interest  in  Univer- 
sity of  Michigan  circles  -was  a  luncheon  at 
the  Union  League  Club,  Saturday,  March 
27,  1915,  in  honor  of  President  and  Mrs. 
Hutchins.  Among  the  guests  were  Profes- 
sor and  Mrs.  James  Rowland  Angell,  '90 
and  '91,  Professor  A.  C.  McLaughlin,  '82, 
'85/,  and  Mrs.  McLaughlin,  Judge  and  Mrs. 
Cartwright,  and  Judge  Mary  M.  Bartelme. 
At  the  informal  reception,  Mrs.  Hills  pre- 
sented the  alumnae  and  their  friends  to 
President  and  Mrs.  Hutchins. 

After  a  delightful  half  hour,  the  scene  of 
activities  was  transferred  to  the  banquet 
room,  decorated  with  American  flags  and 
U.  of  M.  pennants,  and  a  wealth  of  palms 
and  jonquils.  An  elaborate  luncheon  was 
served.  President  Hutchins  was  greeted 
with  much  applause.  He  expressed  his 
pleasure  at  finding  so  vigorous  and  pro- 
gressive an  organization  in  Chicago.  Cheer 
followed  cheer  when  he  conveyed  the  best 
wishes  and  the  congratulations  of  Dr.  An- 
gell and  his  keen  regret  in  his  absence. 
It  was  with  the  utmost  delight  that  the 
alumnae  learned  of  Dr.  Angell's  excellent 
health ;  that  he  is  on  the  Campus  every  day, 
and  that  he  seldom  misses  his  customary 
walk  to  town. 

President  Hutchins  spoke  of  the  early 
history  of  the  University;  of  the  policy  in 
regard  to  the  admission  of  women;  of  the 
building  activities  during  the  past  few  years, 
and  of  the  magnificent  residential  halls  for 
women.  He  stated  that  $800,000.00  had 
been  given  to  the  University  in  recent  years 
by  graduates.  He  assured  the  alumnae  that 
the  latch-string  was  out,  and  that  the  Uni- 
versity of  Michigan  would  always  welcome 
them  most  heartily.  The  college  yells  were 
given  with  vigor  when  his  speech  was  con- 
cluded. 

Judge  Cartwright  spoke  of  his  student 
days  in  the  later  sixties.  He  expressed  his 
indebtedness  to  the  University,  and  paid  a 
great  tribute  to  Dr.  Haven  and  Judge 
Cooley. 

Professor  McLaughlin,  who  had  been  in- 
troduced as  *'Andy  Mack,"  spoke  of  his 
pleasure  at  meeting  so  many  of  his  friends, 
and  former  students.  He  paid  a  tribute  to 
President  and  Mrs.  Hutchins  for  their  ex- 
cellent work.  He  dwelt  at  considerable 
length  upon  the  atmosphere — the  academic 
spirit  that  radiated  from  the  University. 
He  called  Ann  Arbor  the  home  of  perpet- 
ual youth,  and  expressed  the  hope  that 
something  of  the  old  University  as  known 
to  the  students  of  earlier  days,  would  al- 
ways remain.

LOS  ANGELES 

The  University  of  Michigan  Alumni  As- 
sociation of  Southern  California  did  itself 
proud  on  the  occasion  of  its  annual  reunion 
and  dinner,  when  on  the  evening  of  April 
21,  ninety-one  loyal  sons  and  daughters  of 
Michigan  gathered  at  the  Sierra  Madre 
Club,  Los  Angeles,  California,  and  joined 
in  a  festive  program  long  to  be  remember- 
ed. An  excellent  course  dinner  was  pro- 
vided and  Michigan  spirit  and  enthusiasm 
was  abundant  with  the  singing  of  familiar 
Ann  Arbor  songs.  Nof  were  the  college 
yells  neglected  in  the  least,  as  I  verily  be- 
lieve some  of  the  plastering  was  cracked 
to  the  tune  of  "U  of  M,"  "Locomotive"  and 
"Sky-Rocket."  During  the  progress  of  the 
dinner,  s'hort  addresses  by  prominent  local 
alumni  were  enjoyed  and  served  to  refresh 
and  renew  the  memories  of  those  dear  old 
college  days  in  the  minds  of  the  older  grad- 
uates. 

There  is  no  denjnng  the  fact  that  at- 
tendance at  the  festive  board  with  its  ac- 
companying and  post-mortem  speeches  finds 
toward  the  conclusion  of  the  program  a 
goodly  number  of  those  present  possessed 
with  an  impelling  desire  for  sleep.  How- 
ever, those  addicted  to  this  dread  habit 
were  given  a  severe  jolt  on  this  occasion 
from  start  to  finish  for  the  ceremonies  did 
not  conclude  with  the  demi-tasse  and  the 
usual  benediction. 

Immediately  after  the  dinner  the  assem- 
bly moved  in  a  body  to  Clune's  Theatre  to 
witness  the  motion  pictures  of  student  life

the  praises  and  many  the  "Ah's"  and  "Oh's" 
as  beloved  and  familiar  scenes  of  days  gone 
by,  passed  in  review.  IMie  pictures  fulfilled 
a  long  felt  want  and  those  fortunate  enough 
to  be  present  wish  to  extend  thanks  and 
congratulations  to  the  General  Alumni 
Association  for  the  skill,  zeal  and  energy 
which  made  the  production  possible* 

In  conclusion  we  urge  you  not  to  forget 
tha-t  our  weekly  luncheons  on  Fridays  at

NEW  YORK  ALUMNAE 

W'hen  the  University  of  Michigan  Wom- 
en's Club  of  New  York  visited  Vassar  Col- 
lege last  year,  they  so  thoroughly  enjoyed 
the  college  atmosphere,  that  they  decided 
to  make  a  visit  to  a  college  center  an  an- 
nual part  of  their  program. 

This  year  the  Chib  visited  Princeton  Uni- 
versity on  May  iS,  and  the  usual  good  time 
which  is  always  as'sured  when  college 
friends  meet  was  in  evidence. 

The  day  was  perfect  and  the  Princeton 
Campus  was  a  beautiful  sight  adorned  with 
spring  verdure.  A  guide  escorted  the  par- 
ty about  the  campus  and  pointed  out  the 
places  of  interest,  chief  among  which  of 
historical  fame  is  Nassau  Hall  where  the 
first  Continental  Congress  met. 

The  party  were  amused  by  the  story  con- 
nected with  the  portrait  of  George  Wash- 
ington which  represents  the  general  with 
a  more  portly  figure  than  we  are  accus- 
tomed to  associate  with  him.  Legend  main- 
tains that  the  picture  was  originally  George 
III,  but  at  the  Battle  of  Princeton  the  head 
of  the  portrait  wa*  damaged  and  the  loyal 
American  artist  substituted  General  Wash- 
ington's head. 

A  short  business  meeting  preceded  the 
luncheon,  when  Miss  Helen  E.  Bacon,  '92, 
was  elected  president,  to  succeed  Mrs.  Don- 
ald D.  Van  Slyke,  '07,  who  recently  resign- 
ed. 

A  delightful  coaching  trip  in  the  after- 
noon was  a  very  pleasant  conclusion  for 
the  day's  outing.  The  Graduate  School, 
noted  for  its  Cleveland  tower,  was  visited, 
and  other  places  of  interest  in  the  surround- 
ing country,  which  at  this  season  is  espe- 
cially beautiful  with  luxuriant  dogwood 
trees  and  flowering  shrubs.

•Great  credit  must  also  be  extended  to  the 
President  of  the  Los  Angeles  Association,  Mr. 
Myron  Westover,  who  spent  no  little  time  and 
personal  effort  in  the  management  of  these  films.

NECROLOGY 


This  department  of  The  Alumnus  is  conducted  by  Professor  Demmon.  In  order  to  make  it  as 
complete  as  i>ossible,  the  cooperation  of  subscribers  is  solicited.  Let  deaths  be  reported  promptly  as 
they  occur,  with  date  and  place.  Be  careful  to  distinguish  between  fact  and  rumor.  In  sending  news- 
paper clippings,  particular  care  should  be  used  to  distinguish  between  the  date  of  the  paj^er  and  the 
date  of  the  death  recorded.  Short  biographies  of  deceased  alumni  and  former  students  will  be  given 
space  when  sent  to  ITie  Alumnus. 

Departments  and  classes  are  distinguished  the  same  in  the  News  from  the  Classes  columns  (see

SELECTIONS  FROM  THE  WORKS  OF 
JEAN  JACQUES  ROUSSEAU 

In  this  little  volume  of  70  pages  Profes- 
sor Gauss  has  made  accessible  to  Ameri- 
can college  students  Rousseau's  fundamen- 
tally important  First  Discourse,  together 
with  the  second  and  third  of  the  Letters 
to  M.  de  Malesherbes  and  the  fifth  of  the 
Reveries  du  Promencur  Solitaire.  The  stu- 
dent thus  has  an  admirable  introduction 
to  the  ideas  and  to  the  personality  of  that 
paradoxical  but  most  powerful  inspirer  of 
present  day  thinking  and  feeling.  An  ex- 
cellent introduction  of  a  dozen  pages  points 
the  way  to  the  proper  interpretation  of  the 
texts  and  skillfully  affords  much  needed 
help  towards  an  understanding  of  Rous- 
seau's system.  The  latest  contributions  to 
the  great  Literature  that  is  constantly  grow- 
ing about  Rousseau  are  taken  into  account. 
The  book  is  addressed  to  the  thoughtful 


student  of  literature  and  ideas  rather  than 
to  the  learner  of  the  elements  of  the  lan- 
guage. 

Selectiotts  from  the  works  of  Jean  Jacques 
Rousseau,  edited  for  the  use  of  college 
classes,  with  an  introduction  and  notes 
by  Christian  Gauss,  '98,  A.M.  '99,  Pro- 
fessor of  Modern  Languages  in  Prince- 
ton University.  Princeton  University 
Press.

THE  SECRETARY'S  REPORT 


495 


Drake  furnishes  editorial  prefaces  to  two 
of  the  volumes.  One  is  to  volume  V,  Law 
as  a  Means  to  an  End,  by  Rudolf  von 
Thering.  After  briefly  outlining  von  Ther- 
ing's  life  and  work,  he  proceeds  to  a 
thoughtful  and  penetrating  comparison  of 
the  German  jurist's  social  utilitarianism 
with  the  earlier  but  purely  individualistic 
concepts  of  Jeremy  Beutham,  and  con- 
cludes with  a  lucid  exposition  of  von  Ther- 
ing's  message — that  law  instead  of  clinging 
to  precedent  should  be  extended  to  meet 
changing  social  demands.  The  second  vol- 
ume prefaced  by   Professor  Drake  is  re- 


viewed by  Professor  A.  H.  Lloyd  in  the 
June  number  of  the  Michigan  Law  Re- 
view, 

Katharine  Holland  Brown,  '98,  had  a 
story  in  the  Sunday  Magazine  of  May  2, 
published  by  the  Associated  Sunday  Mag- 
azines, Inc.,  entitled  "The  Girl  Who  Was 
Talked  About" 

Lyman  Bryson,  *io,  now  an  instructor  in 
rhetoric  in  the  University,  was  the  author 
of  a  story,  called  '"The  Yellow  Streak,"  in 
the  Illustrated  Sunday  Magazine  for 
May  2.

5%  On  Your  Savings 

In  investing  the  money  you  save  there  are  two  principal  things  to  be 
considered — Safety  and  Interest 

The  First  Mortgage  Real  Estate  Bonds  sold  by  this  Company  afford  un- 
questioned safety — ^they  are  legal  investments  for  Trust  Funds,  and  they  pay 
5%  net  interest,  free  from  taxation,  a  higher  rate  than  can  be  obtained  else- 
where with  equal  safety. 

The  Bonds  can  be  bought  in  denominations  from  $50  to  $1,000  to  suit  your 
convenience.  Each  Bond  is  the  direct  obligation  of  the  owner  of  one  specific 
piece  of  property,  giving  the  investor  a  tangible  security. 

The  U.  of  M.  Alumni  Association  has  invested  in  these  Bonds  for  its  En- 
dowment Fund.

THE 

Michigan  Alumnus 


Vol.  XXI. 


AUGUST.  1915 


No.  206 


EVENT  AND  COMMENT 


To  say  that  thirty 
1600  ALUMNI  odd  classes  held  re- 
REGISTERED      unions     during     the 

Commencement  sea- 
son and  that  there  were  i,6«o  regis- 
trations at  alumni  headquarters  is  at 
best  only  an  unsatisfactory  means  of 
guaging  the  success  of  the  recent 
alumni  reunion  period.  More  signifi- 
cant was  the  spirit.  The  response  was 
general  to  the  efforts  of  the  Univer- 
sity and  the  Alumni  Association  to 
make  the  Commencement  season  more 
worth  while  to  every  returning  alimi- 
nus,  and  to  g^ve  him  pleasant  memor- 
ies to  take  home  with  him,  rather  than 
the  impression  of  an  altered  Campus 
and  hundred  of  strange,  new  faces. 
Ctlt  was  the  aim  of  those  in  charge 
to  see  that  no  one  found  time  heavy  on 
his  hands,  and  that,  whatever  the  form 
of  entertainment  desired,  it  was  to  be 
found.  We  who  are  in  a  sense  repre- 
senting the  University  and  the  Alumni 
Association  as  hosts  can  only  judge 
from  the  expressions  of  appreciation 
on  the  part  of  those  who  were  our 
guests,  but  we  feel  satisfied  that  the 
new  program  is  a  success,  and  prom- 
ises to  develop  further  with  each  re- 
union season.  The  Dix  reunion  plan 
brings  more  old  acquaintances  to- 
gether, and  the  ball  games,  the  auto- 
mobile rides,  the  alumni  mass  meeting 
and  the  alumni  parade  give  play  to 
that  care-free  spirit  which  we  believe 
is  the  real  essence  of  a  successful  re- 
union. Ct  The  officers  of  the  Associa- 


tion feel  deeply  indebted  to  the  var- 
ious committees  which  helped  in  the 
entertainment  of  the  alumni,  particu- 
larly to  Mr.  David  E.  Heineman,  '87, 
the  chairman  of  .the  Alumni  Mass 
Meeting.  His  genius  as  a  presiding 
officer  was  shown  most  felicitously  in 
the  spontaneous  organization  of  a 
University  of  the  Alumni  at  the 
Alumni  Mass  Meeting.  No  less  de- 
serving of  grateful  acknowledgment 
were  the  services  of  the  various  com- 
mittees, the  University  Committee  on 
Alumni  Entertainment,  of  which  Dean 
John  R.  Effinger,  '91,  was  chairman, 
the  Committee  on  Local  Arrange- 
ments for  the  Mass  Meeting  and 
Parade,  of  which  Mr.  George  J. 
Burke,  '07/,  was  chairman,  the  Recep- 
tion Committee,  of  which  Professor 
J.  Raleigh  Nelson,  '94,  was  chairman, 
and  the  Committee  on  Automobile 
Rides,  of  which  Dr.  Louis  P.  Hall, 
'8gd,  was  chairman.  That  the  various 
events  on  the  program  were  so  suc- 
cessfully carried  out  was  in  no  small 
part  due  to  the  efforts  of  these  com- 
mittees. 


A  CREED  FOR 
ATHLETES. 
AND  OTHERS 


After  all  the  discus- 
sions we  have  had  on 
the  status  of  the  ama- 
teur in  athletics,  pre- 
cipitated by  the  summer  baseball  prob- 
lem, we  have  about  come  to  the  con- 
clusion that  the  only  way  to  regulate 
the   matter,   outside   of  the   abolish-

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[August 


ment  of  athletics,  in  whole  or  in  part, 
is  the  setting  to  rights  of  popular  opin- 
ion, in  this  case  student  opinion,  in 
the  matter.  CItIf  the  student  body 
comes  to  think  straight,  we  shall  have 
no  ever-recurrent  problem,  though  it 
must  be  confessed  that  as  far  as  base- 
ball goes  we  may  not  have  as  success- 
ful a  team  as  we  have  sometimes  had 
in  the  past.  In  saying  this  we  do  not 
desire  to  intimate  that  there  have  been 
frequent  or  general  violations  of  the 
amateur  rules,  as  has  been  charged, 
though  the  recent  drastic  act  of  the 
Board  in  Control  of  depriving  two 
members  of  this  year's  team  of  their 
"M's",  and  disciplining  another  shows 
conclusively  that  all  has  not  been 
well.  A  report  of , this  action  may  be 
be  found  elsewhere.  (It  It  goes  with- 
out saying  that  if  we  have  rules 
they  should  be  lived  up  to,  and  there- 
fore we  are  very  glad  to  publish  the 
Creed  for  Michigan  Men  which  will 
be  found  in  the  department  of  this 
number  of  The  Alumnus  devoted  to 
athletics.  It  is  an  encouraging  sign. 
The  signers  are  the  leaders  in  student 
life  today,  and  the  fact  that  they  have 
put  their  names  to  such  a  i>aper  in  all 
sincerity  cannot  help  but  make  for 
clean  and  honest  sportmanship  every- 
where in  Michigan  athletics,  in  base- 
ball as  well  as  in  other  branches. 


The    Alumnus    has 
^N^^^^^^    always  believed  that 

THE  ALUMNI  ^^^^^    ^^    ^    P^^^^>    ^^ 

should  be  one,  for  the 
alumni  in  the  consideration  of  many 
problems  connected  with  University 
life  and  administration.  We  feel  there- 
fore that  one  of  the  significant  meas- 
ures which  was  taken  during  Com- 
mencement Week  was  the  adoption  of 
the  report  on  housing  conditions 
among  students  submitted  to  the 
Alumni  Advisory  Council  by  a  special 
committee  appointed  by  the  Executive 
Committee  of  the  Council.  This  report, 
which  appears  on  another  page,  was 


adopted  by  the  General  Alumni  As- 
sociation and  referred  to  the  Univer- 
sity Senate  for  further  action.  CtWho 
are  more  interested  in  seeing  the  af- 
fairs at  the  University  go  well  than 
the  alumni  ?  Though  no  specific  provi- 
sion has  been  made  for  alumni  share 
in  the  control  of  the  University,  per- 
haps quite  properly,  in  view  of  the  fact 
that  Michigan  is  a  state  university, 
there  is  nevertheless  much  that  may  be 
done  in  the  consideration  of  specific 
problems  of  this  character.  A  recom- 
mendation made  after  careful  consid- 
eration on  the  part  of  this  committee 
chosen  because  of  their  fitness  to  con- 
sider the  problem  cannot  fail  to  have 
weight.  (ItThe  feeling  that  living  con- 
ditions among  the  students  have  not 
been  all  that  they  should  be  has  been 
growing  from  year  to  year.  We  have 
seen  the  question  handled  effectively, 
as  far  as  the  women  of  the  University 
are  concerned,  through  the  establish- 
ment of  approved  rooming  houses  and 
the  erection  of  the  new  halls  of  resi- 
dence. But  the  larger  problem,  that 
of  the  rooms  for  the  5,000  men  and 
the  even  more  important  question  of 
some  standardization  of  boarding 
houses  for  students  has  not  yet  been

pect  with  the  next  year  or  two.  We 
beh'eve  the  alumni  have  been  made 
reasonably  familiar  with  the  aims  and 
plans  of  the  Union,  but  it  is  gratify- 
ing to  know  that  interest  in  the  move- 
ment is  spreading  to  other  universities 
which  are  watching  the  progress  of 
the  campaign,  as  is  evidenced  by  in- 
quiries which  are  constantly  being  re- 
ceived. 


That  the  broader  so- 
^r^^RT^r  cial  aspects  of  this 
THE  uiMiON        movement     lor     tne 

Michigan  Union  are 
of  general  interest  all  over  the  country 
is  shown  by  the  following  editorial, 
from  the  Outlook  of  Wednesday,  July 
21,  which  we  take  pleasure  in  reprint- 
ing. Though  unfortunately  for  those 
of  us  who  are  sensitive  as  to  the  exact 
title  of  the  University,  it  was  headed 
''Democracy  at  Michigan  University,*' 
its  sympathy  with  the  great  effort 
we  have  before  us  as  alumni  of  the 
University  is  encouraging. 

The  University  of  Michigan  will  go  be- 
for-e  its  thirty-five  thousand  alumni  in 
October  with  a  request  for  $1,000,000  to 
erect,  equip,  and  endow  a  building  for  the 
Michigan  Union — an  organization  which 
win  embrace  in  its  membership  practically 
all  the  men  in  the  University. 

With  its  six  thousand  eight  hundred  stu- 
dents, gathered  from  every  state  in  this 
country  and  from  almost  every  foreign 
land,  Michigan  looks  to  its  student  Union 
to  democratize  its  undergraduates,  to  give 
them  a  chance  to  educate  themselves  by 
mixing  and  mingling  with  one  another;  in 
short,  to  gain  that  broader  education  which 
comes  from  knowing  men,  and  to  develop 
the  community  spirit,  which  ordinarily,  sad 
to  say,  does  not  develop  in  many  college 
men  until  years  after  their  graduation. 

The  criticism  of  the  colleges,  which,  it 
must  be  admitted,  has  come  with  increasing 
insistency  during  the  past  decade,  is  that, 
instead  of  broadening  a  young  man's  out- 
look, they  narrow  it;  that,  in  short,  the 
colleges  foster  a  spirit  of  class  and  clique 
snobbery. 

The  movement  which  Michigan  has  un- 
dertaken is  valuable  because  it  is  aimed  to- 
ward the  effecting  of  an  equality  of  oppor- 
tunity. Dr.  James  B.  Angell,  President 
Emeritus  of   Michigan,  is  right  when   he 


says  that  the  mind  and  character  of  students 
receive  as  deep  and  abiding  impressions 
from  mixing  with  one  another  as  they  do 
from  class-room  experience.  It  is  not  the 
fault  of  college  students  themselves  that 
they  leave  their  Alma  Maters  without  the 
breadth  that  comes  from  rubbing  elbows 
with  cosmopolitans.  The  trouble  has  been 
that  the  university  has  not  been  the  clear- 
ing-house that  it  might  be  for  undergradu- 
ate activities,  thoughts  and  tendencies.  No 
common  meeting-ground  has  been  given 
the  student.  The  fact  that  the  average  stu- 
dent would  prefer  to  live  on  a  democratic 
plane  has  been  proved  at  Michigan,  where 
the  members  of  the  Greek  letter  fraternities 
— traditionally  the  aristocracy  in  all  colleges 
— ^have  given  their  enthusiastic  support  to 
the  plan  for  the  democratic  Michigan 
Union.

THE  1915  SUM-    SchooI  continues  the 

MER  SESSION       record      of      growth 

which    has    b^n    so 

marked  in  recent  years.     On  July  9, 

191 5,  the  total  attendance  was  1,643, 

as  against  the  total  of  1,585  on  July  10 

a  year^ago.    The  comparative  figures 

for  these   two   dates  in  the  various 

schools  and  colleges  are  as  follows:

CIL  The  gain,  it  will  be  seen  from  this, 
has  been  largely  in  the  College  of 
Literature  and  in  the  Graduate  School. 
There  has  been  a  falling-off  in  the 
Colleges  of  Engineering  and  Archi- 
tecture, due  largely  to  a  smaller  regis- 
tration at  the  engineering  camp  at 
Douglass  Lake.  The  falling-off  in  the 
lyaw  School  is  due  to  the  recent  in- 
crease in  entrance  requirements  which 
has  made  itself  felt  in  the  enrolment 
during  the  regular  session.  The  total 
enrolled  at  the  engineering  camp  this 
year  is  85,  including  those  at  the  bio- 
logical station,  as  against  95  last  year.

191 5]  THE  BACCALAUREATE  ADDRESS  509 

THE  SEVENTY-nRST  ANNUAL  COMMENCEMENT  OF  THE 
UNIVERSITY  OF  MICHIGAN 


THE  BACCALAUREATE  EXERCISES 

As  the  formal  opening  of  the  exercises  of  the  Seventy-first  Commence- 
ment of  the  University  on  Sunday  evening,  June  20,  191 5,  President  Hut- 
chins  in  his  Baccalaureate  Address  spoke  on  **The  Consciousness  ot  Respon- 
sibility." Preceding  the  exercises  the  seniors  had  formed  in  their  various 
assigned  points  on  the  Campus,  and  had  marched  into  Hill  Auditorium,  tak- 
ing their  places  in  the  seats  reserved  for  each  class. 

Following  an  organ  prelude  by  Mr.  Earl  V.  Moore,  a  chorus,  "How 
lovely  are  the  messengers,"  from  Mendelssohn's  "St.  Paul,"  under  the  direc- 
tion of  Professor  A.  A.  Stanley,  a  prayer  by  Dr.  Martin  L.  D'Ooge,  '62, 
and  a  baritone  solo  by  Mr.  Theodore  Harrison,  Pre5>ident  Hutchins  spoke 
to  the  seniors  as  follows : 

The  truths  that,  in  my  judgment  should  be  emphasized  tonight  arc  not  new.  It 
is  difficult  to  say  anything  about  them  that  is  particularly  original.  I  shall  not  attempt 
it.  All  that  I  shall  attempt  is  a  setting  that  is  in  a  measure  individual.  The  sugges- 
tions that  I  shall  make  may  be  grouped  under  the  title,  "The  Consciousness  of 
Responsibility."  In  the  development  of  the  subject.  I  shall  try  to  keep  continuously 
in  mind  the  relations  and  problems  of  the  university  graduate  as  connected  with  his 
responsibility  as  a  man  and  as  a  citizen.  If  in  bidding  you  God-speed  I  can,  in  some 
slight  degree,  aid  you  in  the  solution  of  personal  problems  that  are  sure  to  arise  and 
at  the  same  time  quicken  your  sense  of  obligation  to  others,  and  thereby  help  you  to 
enlarge  the  boundaries  of  your  future  interests  and  usefulness,  my  object  will  have 
been  accomplished. 

As  I  said  to  you  upon  a  recent  public  occasion,  it  is  to  be  hoped  that  you  go  into 
the  work  of  the  world  having  a  right  attitude  toward  what  you  have  done.  The 
graduate  who  thinks  himself  the  completed  product,  fully  prepared  and  equipped  for 
the  problems  of  business  or  professional  life,  will  soon  discover  that  the  world  is  cold 
and  unappreciative.  While  I  would  not  by  word  or  suggestion  under-rate  the  training 
of  the  schools,  for  in  it  we  have  the  basis  of  our  civilization,  yet  I  would  bring  home 
to  you  the  fact  that  that  training  alone  will  not  bring  success.  It  should  be  regarded 
only  as  a  beginning.  If  you  make  good,  it  will  not  be  simply  because  you  have  enjoyed 
the  privileges  of  the  University;  it  will  be  because  among  other  things  you  carry  your 
preparatory  work  through  life  and  show  yourself  capable  of  applying  the  principles 
that  you  have  learned  here  and  elsewhere  to  the  practical  affairs  of  life ;  in  a  word,  it 
will  be  because  you  show  yourself  capable  of  doing  things, — of  getting  results.  What- 
ever his  field  of  activity,  the  man  who  goes  to  the  front  is  the  man  who  gets  results, — 
not  the  man  who  claims  recognition  because  he  holds  a  university  diploma.  You  will 
soon  discover,  if  you  do  ncjt  now  realize  it,  that  the  world  cares  little  for  university 
credentials  or  university  degrees.  They  very  properly  serve  as  certificates  of  prepara- 
tory attainment,  but  they  will  never  save  the  unfit.  They  may  put  a  man  into  a  place; 
they  cannot  keep  him  there.  I  say,  then,  that  it  is  to  be  hoped  that  you  leave  us  with 
the  proper  attitude  toward  university  training;  that  you  will  regard  it  simply  as  pre- 
liminary to,  and,  in  a  way,  a  basis  for  strenuous  and  continuous  work. 

While  it  would  be  folly  for  you  to  rely  upon  academic  distinction  as  a  guaranty 
of  future  recognition,  you  will  go  into  life  under  favoring  circumstances,  if  you  have 
made  the  most  of  your  opportunities  here  and  also  have  the  wisdom  not  to  exaggerate 
the  extent  and  importance  of  your  attainments.    You  will  soon  find  that  the  real  value

5IO  THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS  [August 

of  your  university  training  depends  very  largely  upon  your  having  got  out  of  it  the 
ability  to  think  logically,  clearly  and  constructively.  The  mastery  of  facts  and  prin- 
ciples is  of  very  little  importance  unless  done  with  a  view  of  using  them  as  tools  for 
independent  and  creative  intellectual  effort.  Out  of  -your  preparation  for  life,  then, 
should  come  the  power  to  plan  and  execirte  in  an  independent  and  comprehensive  and 
constructive  way, — in  other  words,  the  power  to  think  and  do,  with  a  fair  measure  of 
success,  without  the  supporting  help  and  direction  of  others.  Not  that  the  full  capacity 
of  the  matured  thiAcer  and  worker  can  be  attained  by  the  student  at  the  University, 
even  though  he  makes  the  most  of  his  opportunities.  We  cannot  expect  so  much.  But 
a  foundation  can  certainly  be  laid  here  and  something  in  the  way  of  constructive 
thought  and  work  can  be  done.  Unless  your  residence  at  the  University,  then,  has 
given  you  in  some  measure  the  power  to  which  I  refer,  you  are  unprepared  for  serious 
problems.  The  one  who  acts  only  upon  the  initiative  of  others  must  always  serve  as  a 
subordinate.  If  you  lack  the  capacity  for  independent  and  constructive  thought  and 
action,  get  it,  I  beg  of  you,  as  speedily  and  in  as  large  a  measure  as  possible. 

While  the  quality  that  I  have  mentioned  as  essential  to  success  is  one  that  may 
l)e,  and  should  be,  cultivated  at  the  University,  there  are  others  quite  as  essential,  that 
must  be  gained  largely,  almost  entirely  indeed,  through  experience  with  men  and 
affairs.  The  one  to  which  I  wish  particularly  to  direct  attention  is  the  ability  wisely 
to  assume,  easily  and  effectively  to  carry,  responsibility.  Your  life  thus  far  has 
been  practically  free  from  responsibility.  You  do  not  know  and  cannot  appreciate 
what  it  really  means.  To  the  weight  of  it  and  its  significance  as  connected  wit^  the 
affairs  of  life  that  are  really  worth  while,  you  are  comparative  strangers.  Your  care- 
free experience  at  the  University,  though  out  of  it  may  come  the  ability  to  think  clearly 
and  effectively  and  independently,  has  not,  and  in  the  nature  of  things,  could  not, 
furnish  opportunities  for  practical  experience  in  the  bearing  of  real  burdens.  But,  if 
you  have  become  masters  of  yourselves  intellectually,  you  have  the  best  preparation 
-that  can  be  gained  in  the  schools  for  the  cultivation,  in  your  chosen  field,  of  the 
ability  to  assume  burdens  and  carry  them  easily. 

That  ability  to  do  this  is  essential  to  success  in  any  calling  to  which  the  univer- 
-sity  graduate  should  aspire,  experience  and  observation  show  beyond  question.  I  do 
-not  overstate  when  I  say  that  it  is  a  most  important,  perhaps  the  most  important,  factor 
in  both  the  material  and  intellectual  development  of  the  day.  Coupled  with  the  ability 
to  consider  problems  in  a  large  way  and  with  the  constructive  imagination  that  can  plan 
and  build  for  the  future  as  well  as  for  the  present  and  further  with  the  courage  and 
«elf-control  that  give  poise  and  effectiveness  even  in  the  midst  of  depression  and 
threatened  disaster,  it  has  made  possible  the  great  achievements  of  modern  times.  The 
men  who  are  doing  things  out  of  the  ordinary,  who  are  leaders,  discoverers,  producers, 
or  large  contributors  to  the  activities  of  our  times,  in  a  word,  the  men  who  constitute 
the  progressive  and  up-to-date  element  in  every  field  of  human  endeavor,  are  men 
whose  dominant  characteristics  are  the  qualities  just  named  and  whose  predominant 
characteristic  is  the  ability  to  carry  easily  heavy  responsibilities.  The  tendency  every- 
where is  to  centralize  responsibility,  to  make  it  the  chief  characteristic  of  leadership. 
In  the  modem  world  the  importance  of  a  place  and  the  remuneration  attached  to  it 
depend  very  largely  upon  the  weight  of  responsibility  that  must  be  borne.  The  one 
^ho  is  equal  to  the  burden  and  who  has  imagination  and  constructive  power  is  the 
one  for  whom  work  worth  while  is  in  waiting. 

Failures  in  life  are  due  to  numerous  causes.  The  drink  habit  yearly  takes  its 
•tremendous  toll;  among  those  swept  to  destruction  by  it,  brilliant  university  graduates 
are  always  to  be  found.  The  diseases  that  come  of  dissoluteness  and  irregular  living 
of  various  kinds  invade  all  classes.  By  them  the  careers  of  many  whose  training  and 
initial  work  give  promise  of  brilliant  results  are  forever  blasted.  We  cannot  close 
our  eyes  to  the  fact,  and  we  should  not,  that  the  college-bred  are  not  infrequently 
among  the  victims.  Further,  lack  of  capacity  for  sustained  effort,  physical  unfitness 
for  strenuous  work  and  defective  preparatory  training  are  frequent  causes  of  failure. 
But  in  the  vast  majority  of  cases,  the  failure  of  the  person  of  correct  life,  who  is 
mentally  and  physically  fit  and  adequately  trained,  is  due  to  his  inability  to  act  inde- 
pendently and  unaided  to  carry  burdens  easily  and  effectively.    Persons  are  about  us

on  every  side  who  are  struggling  desperately  for  a  foothold  and  always  without  suc- 
cess. Technically  well  prepared  and  still  ambitious,  they  arc  complete  failures  because 
they  lack  the  courage  to  stand  alone.  'Well  equipped,  so  far  as  mere  learning  is  con- 
cerned, and  in  most  cases,  perhaps,  reaching  correct  conclusions,  they  yet  go  down 
in  the  competition  of  life  because  they  cannot  bring  themselves  to  stand  by  their  con- 
victions. The  less  able  who  bear  responsibilities  naturally,  or  who  have  learned  to  do 
so,  often  outstrip  them  in  the  race.  We  all  know  men  whose  chief  aim  in  life  seems 
to  be  to  avoid  responsibility,  to  shift  the  burden  to  other  shoulders.  It  is  so  much 
easier  to  do  so,  to  take  the  course  of  least  resistance  I  If  in  law.  they  will  rarely  ven- 
ture an  opinion,  even  after  a  careful  examination  of  the  case,  without  being  fortified 
by  the  judgment  of  another.  Before  court  or  jury  they  are  practically  helpless  unless 
sustained  by  the  presence  and  suggestions  of  an  associate.  I  need  not  add  that  timid- 
ity such  as  this  naturally  shakes  the  confidence  of  clients  and  that  it  never  goes  hand  in 
hand  with  professional  effectiveness.  The  young  engineer  who  shows  himself  unequal 
to  responsibility  or  who,  when  properly  equipped,  is  halting  and  timid  in  assuming  it, 
will  soon  be  relegated  to  subordinate  and  ordinary  work.  The  important  problems  of 
the  profession  are  not  for  such  as  he;  they  are  for  those  who  are  prepared  for  them 
and  who  are  also  capable  of  standing  up  under  burdens.  We  admire  and  trust  the 
physician  who  is  equal  to  emergencies  and  who  by  his  confident  attitude  gives  courage 
and  hope.  In  all  callings  to  which  you,  as  tmiversity  graduates,  naturally  look  as 
future  fields  of  activity,  the  man  who,  though  thoroughly  prepared,  has  not  sufficient 
faith  in  his  conclusions  to  stand  behind  them  and  be  responsible  for  their  execution, 
either  fails  utterly  or  becomes*  l^opelessly  dependent  and  subordinate. 

I  desire  not  to  be  misunderstood.  I  am  not  suggesting  that  you  should  lightly 
assume  responsibility  or  that  you  should  push  yourself  forward  in  an  unseemly  way. 
I  have  already  warned  you  against  an  exaggerated  notion  of  your  own  importance  and 
preparedness.  Modesty,  not  conceit,  characterizes  effectiveness.  I  am  trying  to  impress 
upon  you  the  necessity,  first,  of  thorough  and  continuous  preparation,  and,  secondly, 
of  going  into  life  with  a  full  realization  of  the  fact  that  success  means  the  bearing 
of  responsibilities. 

But  while  over-confidence  is  not  seemly,  while  it  arouses  antagonism  and  not 
infrequently  defeats  co-operation,  the  opposite  may  mean  failure.  Some  men  fail 
because  of  an  exaggerated  consciousness  of  the  extent  and  weight  of  responsibilities 
assumed  or  imposed.  They  have  not  learned,  and  they  may  not  be  capable  of  learn- 
ing, how  to  carry  responsibilities  easily.  The  weight  oppresses  and  absorbs  attention 
that  should  be  given  to  the  business  in  hand.  Under  such  conditions  a  high  degree  of 
efficiency  is  impossible.  With  such  persons,  it  is  not  the  weight  of  responsibility  that 
breaks,  but  rather  an  exaggerated  consciousness  of  the  weight  Learn  then  to  carry 
responsibilities  easily.  Don't  permit  the  fear  of  not  being  equal  to  them  or  of  possible 
criticism  to  dominate.    Forget  the  burden  and  work  for  results. 

Never  make  the  mistake  of  confusing  undue  attention  to  details  with  the  bearing 
of  responsibilities.  Many  do  this,  and,  as  a  result,  become  slaves  to  details.  We  all 
know  men  who  are  trying  to  be  leaders  but  who  are  great  only  in  little  things, — ^men 
who  allow  the  little,  inconsequential  matters  that  should  be  delegated  to  subordinates 
to  absorb  their  entire  strength  and  energy.  They  make  a  great  show  at  doing  things. 
To  the  casual  observer  they  may  seem  to  be  bearing  colossal  burdens.  But  as  a  matter 
of  fact,  with  the  really  important  problems,  they  are  not  getting  anywhere.  They 
soon  find  their  places  in  the  subordinate  ranks.  Learn,  then,  in  the  burden-bearing, 
to  distinguish  essentials  from  non-essentials,  to  find  out  where  real  responsibility  is 
and  to  do  your  best  to  carry  it  quietly,  as  easily  as  possible,  but  always  effectively. 

And  remember,  I  beg  of  you,  that  responsibility  educates  and  develops.  It  has 
been  said  with  truth  that  it  ^walks  hand  in  hand  with  capacity  and  power."  Until 
put  to  the  test,  a  man  never  knows  what  he  can  do.  Not  infrequently  the  ability  to  do 
develops  when  the  demand  for  it  is  imposed.  Furthermore,  the  latent  powers  of  a  man 
are  made  manifest,  as  a  rule,  in  proportion  to  the  extent  and  weight  of  the  responsibili- 
ties that  he  carries. 

But  the  thought  that  I  would  bring  home  to  you  tonight  has  a  broader  application 
than  the  merely  personal  one  that  I  have  thus  far  tried  to  develop.    It  is  to  be  hoped

that  your  vision  of  the  future  is  so  comprehensive  that  it  embraces  much  more  than 
the  winning  simply  of  what  the  world  regards  as  personal  success.  While  it  is 
eminently  fitting,  and  indeed  a  duty,  that  you  make  the  most  of  your  opportunities  to 
attain  distinction  and  leadership  in  the  field  of  your  activity,  it  is  also  fitting  and  a 
duty  that  you  at  the  same  time  perform  your  obligations  to  the  state  and  render  eflFec- 
tive  service  in  the  work  of  human  betterment  Take  up  the  duties  of  life,  I  beg  of 
you,  with  a  keen  consciousness  of  your  responsibilities  not  only  to  your  calling,  to 
yourself  and  to  those  immediately  dependent  upon  you,  but  also  to  the  public  and  to 
humanity.  It  is  perhaps  a  trite  saying  but  it  embodies  an  everlasting  truth,  that  the 
broadly  successful  life  is  the  life  that  serves  others  while  serving  itself.  But  how  are 
you  to  serve  others?  I  say  that  you  should  go  into  life  with  a  keen  consciousness  of 
your  responsibilities  to  the  public  and  to  humanity.  What  is  the  extent  of  those 
responsibilities  and  how  are  they  to  be  discharged?  These  are  significant  questions. 
To  answer  them  in  a  way  that  will  be  of  service  requires  a  brief  reference  to  a  few 
fundamental  principles,  the  consideration,  in  some  detail,  of  conditions  that  will  con- 
front you  and  a  statement  of  what  the  people  have  a  right  to  expect  from  the  educated 
citizen, — particularly  from  the  citizen  who  has  been  educated  at  public  expense. 

In  ascertaining  the  extent  and  character  of  the  public  responsibilities  of  the 
citizen,  we  must  keep  constantly  before  us  the  fundamental  fact  that  ours  is  a  govern- 
ment of  the  people.  It  was  devised  as  a  government  to  be  operated  through  the 
representatives  of  the  people.  To  escape  the  weaknesses  of  the  pure  democracy,  the 
framers  of  the  organic  law  provided  therein  for  delegated  authority.  Their  act  by 
ratification  became  the  act  of  the  people.  This  is  true  of  both  state  and  nation.  But 
although  governmental  authority  is  exercised  by  the  representatives  of  the  people,  the 
source  of  power  and  authority  remains  with  the  people.  It  is  to  the  general  intelli- 
gence and  education  and  wisdom  of  the  people,  therefore,  that  we  must  look  for  the 
safety  and  continued  stability  of  the  republic.  This  is  emphatically  true  today  when 
wild  theories  in  regard  to  direct  influence  by  the  people  upon  great  instrumentalities  of 
government  are  meeting  with  such  general  favor.  To  delegate  authority  wisely  and  to 
select  carefully  those  who  shall  exercise  authority,  as  it  is  the  function  of  the  people 
to  do  under  our  system,  require  intelligence,  a  fairly  comprehensive  notion,  at  least, 
of  the  functions  of  government,  knowledge  of  the  questions  at  issue  and  above  all  an 
abiding  consciousness  of  the  responsibilities  that  the  citizen  should  bear.  Eternal 
vigilance  on  the  part  of  the  people  and  the  careful  and  conscientious  performance  by 
every  citizen  of  every  public  duty  are  necessary.  If  this  is  so  under  normal  conditions 
and  in  operating  the  representative  system  provided  for  in  the  organic  law,  and  it  most 
certainly  is,  then  it  is  of  far  greater  importance  that  the  people  should  exercise  increas- 
ing and  continuous  vigilance  and  inform  themselves  generally  upon  public  questions, 
if  they  are  to  legislate  directly  and  particularly  if  in  regard  to  public  questions  they 
may  be  called  upon  to  exercise  judicial  functions.  We  should  be  alive  to  the  fact, — 
never  forget  it,  I  beg  of  you — that  increased  responsibilities  for  the  people  inevitably 
come  with  the  increased  exercise  by  them  of  direct  authority. 

And  now  what  are  the  conditions  that  confront  us  and  that  you  should  be  prepared 
to  meet?  I  am  not  an  alarmist,  but,  if  I  mistake  not,  there  is  that  in  them  that  which 
should  arrest  attention.  The  people  govern  but  the  people  are  indifferent, — not  all, 
but  many.  General  consciousness  of  civic  responsibility  is  wanting.  It  is  certainly 
true  that  large  numbers  do  not  consider  seriously  the  grave  civic  burdens  imposed,  nor 
do  they  realize  their  importance.  And  among  them  are  m^y  who  are  leaders  in  bus- 
iness and  professional  life.  The  truth  is,  we  should  not  close  our  eyes  to  it,  that 
private  interests  so  generally  absorb  attention  that  public  interests  are  forgotten.  If 
we  are  ever  wrecked,  it  will  be  because  of  our  exaggerated  sense  of  security  and 
our  supreme  indifference.  We  are  a  great  nation ;  we  have  safely  passed  the  experimental 
stage;  we  have  weathered  the  storm  of  internal  dissension  and  civil  strife;  marvelous 
material  prosperity  has  been  ours;  we  are  a  world  power  of  tremendous  magnitude. 
All  this  is  true,  but  let  us  not  forget  that  we  may  yet  be  vulnerable;  that  our  very 
greatness  and  boasted  strength  may  foster  a  sense  of  security  that  may  be  fatal. 

But  these,  you  say,  are  general  statements  only.  True,  but  are  they  not  supported 
by  "facts?    Let  us  examine  the  situation  somewhat  in  detail.    It  will  be  conceded  at

once  that  the  right  to  vote  is  a  right  that  is  conferred  with  a  view  to  its  being  exer- 
cised. Existing  simply  as  a  right,  it  is  of  no  force  or  effect  Existing  as  a  right  to  be 
exercised,  to  exercise  it  becomes  a  duty;  it  becomes  a  most  important  responsibility  of 
citizenship, — indeed  a  fundamental  responsibility.  And  yet  the  indifference  of  Ameri- 
can citizens  to  the  performance  of  this  duty  is  astounding.  Even  the  stimulus  of  a 
great  national  election  or  of  an  important  state  contest  fails  to  bring  out  a  full  vote; 
many  neglect  to  respond.  Those  who  vote  at  all  elections  are  comparatively  few. 
At  minor  elections,  the  number  voting  is  astonishingly  small.  It  has  been 
estimated  that  at  spring  elections  in  this  state  on  the  average  seven  out  of 
every  ten  who  are  registered  remain  at  home.  And  yet  from  the  point  of  view  of  the 
judiciary  particularly,  this  election  is  one  of  great  importance.  Some  people  always 
vote.  The  man  who  is  personally  interested  in  the  result  is  on  hand.  His  devoted 
followers  are  with  him.  The  practical  politician  is  out.  He  is  at  the  polls  to  vote  and 
to  see  that  the  machine  runs  smoothly.  His  creatures  are  there  also  and  stand  ready 
to  do  his  bidding.  The  man  who  votes  for  a  consideration  is  there  early  and  late  and 
always  in  a  receptive  mood.  But  the  man  who  is  prominent  in  business  or  professional 
affairs  and  who  by  virtue  of  his  large  interests  needs  the  protection  of  a  strong  and 
wisely  directed  government,  this  man  is  too  frequently  absent.  As  a  rule  lack  of  time 
is  the  excuse.  But  time  for  other  things  less  important  is  found  and  with  apparent 
ease.  The  truth  is,  we  all  know  it,  that  the  busy  man  of  affairs  even,  can  and  does 
find  time  to  do  that  which  he  wishes  to  do  and  that  which  he  feels  it  to  be  his  duty 
to  do.  In  the  majority  of  cases  the  excuse  means  simply  indifference.  And  this 
indifference  comes  from  a  lack  of  consciousness  on  the  part  of  the  citizen  of  the 
important  public  responsibilities  that  attach  to  citizenship.  The  facts  that  I  state  are 
generally  known,  so  generally,  indeed,  that  reference  to  them  may  be  thought  common- 
place; but  they  are  facts  that,  in  my  judgment,  should  be  brought  home  to  the  youth 
of  the  land  on  every  possible  occasion.  While  generally  known,  the  full  significance 
of  the  indifference  that  they  indicate  is  not,  I  am  persuaded,  generally  appreciated; 
nor  are  we  fully  awake  to  the  evils  that  come  of  it  or  to  the  dangers  that  threaten. 

Other  illustrations  of  the  failure  of  the  citizen  to  meet  and  discharge  his  public 
obligations  are  not  wanting.  We  are  all  familiar  with  the  comparatively  recent  agita- 
tion in  regard  to  the  convention  system  and  with  the  claim,  undoubtedly  based  upon 
fact,  that  through  the  system  as  conducted  the  will  of  the  people  was  frequently 
thwarted.  This  was  so  not  because  of  the  system,  but  rather  because  of  failure  by  the 
many  to  perform  a  public  duty.  Here  again  the  man  of  affairs,  the  highly  respectable 
citizen,  was  often  the  offender.  The  party  machinery,  through  the  neglect  of  others, 
was  easily  dominated  by  the  party  boss.  Under  his  dictation  the  nominating  conven- 
tion became  the  opposite  of  the. deliberative  assembly  that  it  was  intended  to  be.  It 
fell  binder  the  ban  of  public  disapproval,  with  the  result  that  a  system  devised  in 
accordance  with  the  recognized  principle  of  government  by  delegated  authority  has 
become  largely  discredited.  But,  unfortunately,  changes  have  probably  intensified 
rather  than  reduced  the  evils  and  dangers.  That  the  primary  system,  as  generally 
administered,  breeds  corruption  and  furnishes  numerous  and  easy  ways  of  defeating 
the  will  of  the  people,  is  common  knowledge.  It  has  failed  to  accomplish  the  results 
sought,  not  entirely  or  even  largely  because  of  defects  in  the  system,  but  because  of  the 
indifference  of  the  people.  Here  again  the  citizen  is  at  fault  for  the  evils  that  he  so 
loudly  condemns.  He  fails  to  exercise  a  right  given  and  thereby  perform  a  duty 
imposed.  Through  the  indifference  and  neglect  of  those  who  should  be  alive  to  the 
common  interests,  the  unfit  not  infrequently  win  in  the  primaries  and  become  the 
regular  candidates  for  important  public  trusts.  That  the  same  indifference  will  con- 
tribute largely  to  the  final  breaking  down  of  laws  providing  for  a  direct  expression  of 
opinion  by  the  people  in  regard  to  public  measures,  it  is  not  unreasonable  to  expect. 

If  further  illustration  of  the  lack  of  consciousness  of  public  responsibility  on  the 
part  of  the  citizen  is  needed,  it  is  easily  found  in  his  attitude  of  indifference  toward 
city  administration  and  civic  interests  generally.  Absorbed  in  private  affairs,  he  too 
often  allows  the  municipal  election  to  be  dominated  largely  by  the  professional  city 
politician.  Although  improvement  in  the  government  of  cities  has  in  recent  years  been 
attempted  with  varying  degrees  of  success,  yet  even  now  mismanagement  and  corrup-

tion  are  probably  more  prevalent  here  than  in  any  other  field  of  public  administration. 
While  no  single  cause  is  responsible  for  past  or  present  concHtions— doubtless  many 
have  contributed— yet  the  indifference  of  which  I  speak  has  been  a  most  prominent 
one.  Very  largely  because  of  it,  the  direction  of  affairs  has  been  monopolized  by  the 
city  boss  and  ward  politician.    I  need  not  enlarge  upon  the  results. 

Not  only  in  the  exercise  of  the  elective  franchise  but  also  in  the  use  of  delegated 
authority  should  the  American  citizen  have  a  keen  consciousness  of  the  public  respon- 
sibilities imposed.  Unfortunately  he  too  often  forgets  that  a  public  ofl&ce  is  a  public 
trust ;  that  he  has  been  put  in  a  place  of  authority  to  serve  the  public  as  a  whole,  not 
simply  his  immediate  constituency  or  some  part  of  it.  The  fact  that  our  state  legis- 
latures the  country  over  are  so  severely  criticised  and  so  generally  discredited,  is  due 
to  the  failure  of  many  of  the  members  to  appreciate  the  extent  and  real  significance  of 
their  responsibilities.  The  average  legislator  feels  it  to  be  his  duty  to  serve 
those  who  elected  him,  and  it  is,  but  it  is  his  duty  also  to  serve,  to  the  extent 
of  his  ability  and  opportunities,  the  entire  commonwealth.  In  his  zeal  to  do  something 
for  his  particular  locality  or  to  be  the  author  of  a  law,  he  is  too  often  indifferent  as 
to  the  effect  upon  the  state  as  a  whole  of  the  measure  that  he  urges.  Too  frequently 
he  forgets  that  the  general  public  interest  is  of  far  greater  importance  than  that  which 
is  purely  local  and  that  this  interest  should  be  constantly  conserved.  Furthermore, 
the  ease  with  which  in  legislative  practice  responsibility  is  shifted  from  one  member 
to  another  and  from  one  house  to  the  other  is  thoroughly  demoralizing.  It  tends  to 
dissipate  the  feeling  of  obligation  to  the  public  for  all  laws  passed,  a  feeling  that 
should  be  both  individual  and  general  and  that  should  always  exist  The  result  of 
these  conditions  is  at  each  session  a  mass  of  undigested,  ill-advised  and,  not  infrequent- 
ly, from  the  point  of  view  of  the  public,  thoroughly  bad  legislation.  As  it  is  every- 
body's business  to  look  after  the  interests  of  the  public,  in  the  absence  of  a  general 
sense  of  responsibility  for  those  interests,  they  constantly  suffer.  What  is  true  of  the 
state  legislature  in  this  regard,  is  true  also,  though  in  a  less  degree,  of  the  national 
legislature.  Here  to  be  sure  the  questions  are  very  generally  of  a  public  nature  and, 
when  so,  are  necessarily  considered  from  the  point  of  view  of  the  effect  upon  the 
public  of  the  conclusions  reached.  But  even  here  private  or  sectional  interests  not 
infrequently  intervene  in  such  a  way  that  larger  and  more  important  interests  of  the 
nation  as  a  whole  are  sacrificed.  While  the  responsibility  of  the  party  in  power  and 
the  watchfulness  of  the  minority  doubtless  tend  to  secure  a  careful  consideration  of 
public  questions  and  to  bring  about  their  wise  solution,  yet  at  times  party  domination 
is  such  that  duty  to  the  general  public  is  forgotten  and  laws  devised  solely  for  party 
purposes  are  passed. 

I  have  considered,  perhaps  in  too  great  detail,  some  of  the  public  conditions  that 
will  confront  you.  Others  might  be  mentioned.  Those  suggested,  however,  are  prob- 
ably sufficient  as  a  basis  for  a  statement  of  what  the  people  have  a  right  to  expect 
from  you  in  a  public  way  as  citizens,  educated  at  public  expense. 

And  I  beg  to  say  first  that,  in  a  general  way,  they  have  a  right  to  expect  that  you 
will  go  into  the  work  of  the  world  keenly  conscious  that  public,  as  well  as  private, 
responsibilities  rest  upon  you;  that  your  public  duties  as  citizens  are  of  the  highest 
importance  and  should  never  be  dominated  by  private  interests.  Never  neglect  to 
exercise  your  rights  as  citizens,  for  those  rights,  given  you  by  the  organic  law,  are 
also  duties.  This  means  that  you  should  vote  at  every  elect;ion.  I  say  at  every 
election,  not  simply  at  elections  that  excite  the  public  and  arouse  general  interest. 
It  means  further  that  you  should  take  an  active  and  intelligent  part  in  the  nomination 
of  the  best  men  for  office  and  in  the  election  of  those  whom  you  think  best  fitted  for 
the  execution  of  a  public  trust.  Don't  misunderstand.  I  am  not  urging  that  you 
become  mere  politicians  and  party  workers,  or  that  you  seek  public  office.  I  am 
urging  simply  that  you  do  your  public  duties  as  private  citizens  and  that  you  do  them 
intelligently  and  fearlessly,  having  in  view  always  the  interests  of  the  people.  Par- 
ticularly would  I  urge  you  to  take  an  active  part  in  the  work  of  civic  betterment.  If 
municipal  government  in  this  country  is  ever  materially  improved  and  the  corruption 
that  has  so  long  disgraced  it  stamped  out,  it  will  be  through  the  Active  efforts  of 
educated  and  high-minded  citizens  who  are  willing,  if  necessary,  to  sacrifice  private

interests  for  the  public  good.  To  the  graduates  of  our  colleges  and  universities  who 
are  going  into  the  world  with  high  ideals  of  public  service,  we  can  confidently  look, 
I  am  sure,  for  most  effective  work  in  this  important  field.  * 

But  your  public  service  may  be  more  than  that  imposed  by  law  upon  the  private 
citizen.  It  may  embrace  also  the  exercise  of  delegated  authority.  It  is  probable  that 
some  of  you,  through  the  suffrages  of  the  public,  or  through  executive  appointment, 
may  be  called  upon  to  serve  as  representatives  of  the  people,  either  in  the  making  of 
laws  or  in  their  execution.  It  is  possible  that  at  different  times  some  may  serve  in 
each  capacity.  To  r^resent  the  people  is  an  honor,  if  the  trust  is  imposed  because  of 
fitness  and  if  the  duties  are  performed  fearlessly  and  with  the  interest  of  the  public 
alone  in  view.  If  the  opportunity  comes  and  3'ou  accept  it,  have  an  abiding  conscious- 
ness of  the  responsibilities  that  you  assume.  Never  forget  that  your  obligations  arc 
to  the  people,  not  to  private  interests,  not  even  to  your  immediate  constituency  when 
to  serve  them  directly  means  detriment  to  the  interests  of  the  general  public.  I  need 
not  say  to  you  that  the  man  in  public  life  should  cultivate  the  attributes  of  statesman- 
ship. These  are  many  but  the  basal  ones  are  disinterested  devotion  to  public  duty, 
the  consideration  of  questions  in  a  large  way  and  with  a  view  to  the  interests  of  the 
people  as  a  whole  and  above  all  an  ever-present  consciousness  of  the  gravity  of  the 
responsibilities  assumed.  Some  will  doubtless  say  that  the  standards  suggested  are 
impracticable  and  visionary,  impossible  of  realization, — that  present  evils  connected 
with  public  service  can  only  be  corrected  by  changes  in  the  organic  law  and  regulative 
legislation,— ^ever  by  appeals  for  better  men  in  public  life  and  a  more  general  con- 
sciousness of  public  responsibility.  This  attitude  I  regard  as  unfortunate  and  harmful 
in  the  extreme.  It  is  the  attitude  of  those  who  scoff  at  ideals  and  tell  you  that  the 
world  has  no  use  for  them.  It  is  an  attitude  that  would  discourage  attempts  at  reform 
at  the  very  source.  Believe  me  when  I  say  to  you  that  there  is  a  crjring  need  of  ideals 
in  the  life  of  today,  particularly  in  the  public  life.  Remember  that  we  never  get 
higher  than  our  ideals.  The  best  ideals  of  popular  government  are  supposed  to  be 
embodied  in  our  organic  law.  In  the  constant  and  earnest  efforts  of  the  people  to 
realize  them  lies  the  safety  of  fhe  nation.  That  you  will  do  your  full  duty  not  only 
in  such  public  service  as  you  may  be  called  upon  to  render,  but  also  in  seeking  by 
example  and  disinterested  personal  effort  to  uplift  the  general  standards,  I  confidently 
believe. 

I  should  be  neglectful  of  duty  were  I  to  omit  to  emphasize  the  supreme  importance 
of  a  national,  nay  of  an  international  consciousness  of  responsibility.  The  former 
gives  an  abiding  and  pervading  patriotism,  the  latter,  if  it  could  be  realized,  and  let  us 
pray  God  that  it  soon  may  be,  would  be  the  beginning  of  the  universal  brotherhood  of 
man.  Then  would  humanity  be  above  all  nations  and  the  welfare  thereof  more  impor- 
tant than  national  aggrandizement  or  national  domination.  Then  would  swords  be 
beaten  into  plowshares  and  spears  into  pruning-hooks  and  wars  would  be  no  more. 

As  a  final  word,  my  friends,  may  I  bring  to  you  the  fact, — ^and  I  trust  that  I  may 
do  it  in  such  a  way  as  to  carry  conviction, — that  the  field  of  your  responsibility  includes 
a  realizing  sense  of  your  dependence  upon  a  Higher  Power?  "The  most  important, 
thought  I  ever  had,"  declared  Daniel  Webster,  *Svas  that  of  my  individual  responsibility 
to  Cod."  This^  my  friends,  should  be  an  ever-present  thought  with  each  of  us.  It 
should  be  the  dominating  thought  of  our  lives.  Consciousness  of  responsibility  to  God 
is  of  the  very  essence  of  the  faith  that  is  the  basis  of  our  Christian  civilization.  What- 
ever may  be  our  attitude  toward  creeds  and  dogmas,  we  cannot  but  conclude,  if  we 
give  the  subject  thoughtful  consideration,  that  there  is  in  the  Christian  faith  an 
embodiment  of  the  highest  and  purest  standards  of  living  that  have  yet  been  given 
to  man.  In  the  life  of  the  Master  we^  have  the  completest  exemplification  of  them. 
Seek,  through  earnest  study  of  the  inspired  record,  to  pattern  your  life  after  His  life. 
In  this  record  you  have  chart  and  compass  that  will  never  mislead.  May  God  keep 
you  and  direct  you,  and  may  His  abundant  blessing  be  with  you  always. 

President  Hutchins  was  followed  by  the  President  Emeritus,  Dr.  Angell, 
who  begged  the  seniors  not  to  sever  their  connection  with  the  University 
upon  g^duation  from  it.    He  said :

5i6  THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS  [August 

I  appear  here  on  the  request  of  the  President  of  the  University.  I  have  called 
his  attention  to  the  obvious  fact  that  it  is  quite  superfluous  for  me  to  attempt  to  add 
atiything  to  the  wise  counsels  with  which  he  has  made  this  hour  memorable  in  your 
history.  But  with  his  characteristic  courtesy,  he  has  insisted  on  my  saying  a  few 
words  to  identify  myself  with  this  occasion. 

Regarding  his  courteous  request  as  a  command,  I  obey  by  briefly  calling  your 
attention  to  an  error  committed  by  many  in  interpreting  the  significance  of  the 
diploma  which  you  are  about  to  receive. 

The  diploma  is  sometimes  regarded  as  a  document  which  severs  your  relation 
from  the  University'.  You  are  to  graduate  into  the  real  University  rather  than  away 
from  it  The  University  consists  of  the  Regents,  the  Faculties  and  the  thousands  of 
graduates  who  have  by  honest  toil  won  its  degrees.  By  your  graduation  you  become 
members  of  this  great  scholastic  brotherhood.  Your  diploma  certifies  to  your  citizen- 
ship in  this  great  fraternity,  recognizes  your  privileges  and  acknowledges  your  respon- 
sibilities. The  University  may  be  of  some  help  to  you,  but  we  may  surely  trust  you 
to  find  pleasure  in  rendering  service  to  the  University. 

The  old  classical  diplomas  used  to  declare  formally  that  the  graduate  was  admitted 
to  the  honors,  dignities  and  responsibilities  of  the  new  position.  It  was  understood 
that  these  did  not  fall  off  on  commencement  day,  but  were  permanently  assumed. 
Though  these  expressions  are  omitted  from  some  of  the  more  recent  diplomas  we 
should  understand  that  the  privileges  and  obligations  still  remain. 

So  in  bidding  you  farewell  this  week  and  sending  you  into  the  world  to  your 
manifold  duties,  we  shall  rejoice  in  your  successes  as  members  of  this  household,  and 
hope  to  see  you  often  at  the  old  fireside.  Remember  that  you  graduate  into  the  Uni- 
versity, and  not  away  from  it 

The  exercises  were  concluded  with  "America,"  sung  by  a  chorus  and  the 
audience,  and  the  benediction. 


THE  SEVENTY-FIRST  COMMENCEMENT 

The  Seventy-first  Annual  Commencement  of  the  University  of  Michigan 
took  place  on  Thursday,  Jime  24,  191 5.  The  Commencement  address  was 
delivered  by  President  William  Oxley  Thompson,  LL.D.,  of  Ohio  State 
University,  who  spoke  upon  "The  New  Outlook  for  Educated  Citizenship," 
in  which  he  appealed  to  the  graduates  before  him  for  sane,  intelligent  leader- 
ship and  a  sound  philosophy  of  optimism  in  an  effort  to  abolish  war. 

Degrees  were  granted  to  939  students.  These,  with  the  names  of  those 
who  had  completed  their  course  of  studies,  and  were  graduated  in  the  period 
between  January  and  May,  191 5,  made  a  total  of  1,007  names  in  the  official 
list.    There  were  also  granted  13  honorary  degrees. 

As  has  become  the  custom,  the  day  opened  with  the  bugle  call  at  8:15, 
followed  by  the  formation  of  the  various  lines  of  seniors  in  their  respective 
positions  on  the  Campus.  To  the  music  of  the  University  Band,  and  the 
answering  bugle  calls  from  various  sections  of  the  parade,  the  line  slowly 
formed,  headed  by  the  standard  bearers,  bearing  the  flags  of  the  University 
and  the  State,  and  the  parade-marshal.  Professor  Herbert  C.  Sadler,  in  his 
brilliant  Glasgow  gown.  President  Hutchins  and  President  Thompson  came 
next,  then  the  Board  of  Regents,  the  Faculty,  all  in  academic  robes,  and  the 
alumni,  followed  by  the  long  line  of  seniors,  who  lined  the  walks  as  the 
President,  Regents  and  Faculty  passed  down  from  University  Hall  to  Hill

Auditorium  and  fell  into  their  proper  places  at  the  end  of  the  procession. 
President  Thompson's  address  was  as  follows : 

The  congratulations  that  fill  the  hour  emphasize  the  obvious  fact  that  the 
month  of  Jtme  annually  sends  into  the  citizenship  of  America  thousands  of  young 
men  and  ivomen  who  have  had  the  opportunity  that  comes  to  the  few,  and  to  them 
but  once  in  a  life  time.  To  spend  four  of  the  choicest  years  of  youth  in  circles  where 
freedom  of  thought,  of  opinion,  and  of  expression  abounds,  is  a  rare  opporttmity 
unparalleled  in  the  ordinary  callings  of  life.  The  significance  of  this  carefree  experi- 
ence relieved  from  the  perplexities  of  ordinary  life  is  not  always  appreciated.  Here 
is  the  opportunity  for  the  forthcoming  generation  to  make  a  calm  survey  of  the  wc .  Id 
of  thought  and  action  into  which  it  shall  throw  the  energies  developed  through  educa- 
tion. In  a  very  profound  sense  therefore,  the  period  of  higher  education  as  repre- 
sented at  the  University  furnishes  opportunity  for  organizing  one's  life  and  thought 
and  for  a  proper  orientation  ol  the  enthusiasm  of  youth  with  the  experience  of  age. 
The  present  chaos  of  public  thought  in  these  days  of  war  and  rumors  of  war  suggest 
the  theme  for  the  morning. 

From  the  beginning  educated  people  have  regarded  themselves  as  called  to  leader- 
ship in  the  several  circles  where  they  have  lived.  Their  intellectual  life,  their  broad- 
ened vision  and  their  pro  founder  conviction  upon  current  problems  has  always  led 
them  into  community  leadership. 

This  theory  of  life  has  been  encouraged  by  the  educational  institutions,  and  indeed 
made  a  matter  of  some  prominence  by  colleges  and  universities.  They  not  only  assume 
but  directly  affirm  that  one  of  the  great  functions  of  a  college  or  university  is  to 
prepare  its  alumni  for  leadership.  The  older  institutions  made  this  fact  quite  prom- 
inent The  limited  number  of  men  and  women  who  studied  in  the  older  type  of 
college  made  it  quite  nsrtural  that  these  people  should  rise  r^>idly  into  prominent 
leadership.  In  these  days,  when  the  few  have  been  supplanted  by  ^e  many  and  the 
•streets  have  gone  to  college,"  it  is  obvious  that  the  tens  of  thousands  of  college 
graduates  can  hardly  occupy  the  same  relative  prominence  as  did  their  predecessors 
of  two  generations  ago,  when  only  the  children  of  favored  families  or  of  the  specially 
ambitious  found  their  way  into  college.  Nevertheless,  we  should  not  overlook  the 
fact  that  the  world  while  growing  smaller  as  a  neighborhood,  has  grown  immensely 
larger  as  an  industrial  community.  Japan  and  China  are  our  neighbors.  We  fed 
toward  them  a  sense  of  nearness.  We  have  a  similar  feeling  with  regard  to  Europe 
and  Africa.  Meantime,  the  business,  industry  and  commerce  of  the  world  has  mul- 
tiplied by  leaps  and  bounds.  This  has  opened  up  new  worlds  of  service  in  which 
educated  leadership  is  in  great  demand.  Since  the  Spanish-American  war  the  United 
States  and  other  governments  on  the  two  American  continents  have  assumed  a  place 
of  importance  in  the  world's  activities  unforeseen  and  unanticipated  by  the  fathers. 

The  completion  of  the  Panama  Canal  was  an  event  of  world  significance.  It  was 
•expected  that  this  triumph  of  engineering  skill  would .  develop  and  revolutionize 
oceanic  commerce;  all  the  world  would  be  brought  a  little  nearer  together  and  the 
consequent  obligation  of(  state  leadership  would  fall  more  heavily  upon  the  nation 
providing  this  new  highway  of  traffic. 

For  this  enlarged  leadership  we  have  been  quietly  making  preparation.  For  gen- 
•erations  we  have  believed  in  a  manifest  destiny  for  this  great  democracy.  It  has  been 
the  current  belief  that  the  United  States  of  America  was  somehow  under  the  leader- 
ship of  a  beneficent  providence  to  lead  the  world  onward  and  upward  to  a  better 
definition  of  human  rights  and  human  freedom.  There  has  been  singularly  absent 
from  this  political  theory  any  widespread  belief  that  the  United  States  should  ever 
•seek  an  enlargement  of  territory,  or  be  actively  engaged  in  colonization.  The  freedom 
to  renounce  American  citizenship  and  transfer  to  the  citizenship  of  other  countries 
lias  never  been  questioned.  Consequently  American  citizenship  is  held  only  by  those 
who  desire  to  hold  it.  The  result  of  this  political  theory  has  been  to  leave  our 
'Citizens  free  to  develop  the  fundamental  ideas  of  liberty  and  freedom.  Our  people 
l^ve  desired  therefore,  to  see  other  people  enjoy  the  same  liberties  which  we  prize 
so  highly.  It  is  easy  to  understand  therefore,  why  there  was  universal  rejoicing  in  this 
country  when  our  President  declared  against  territorial  annexation  in  the  Mexican  situ- 
ation, nor  was  the  approval  less  enthusiastic  when  in  the  face  of  the  great  European

struggle  he  declared  that  the  United  States  would  ask  nothing  for  herself  that  she 
could  not  ask  for  humanity.  Our  political  theories  have  therefore  brought  us  face 
to  face  with  the  doctrine  of  international  leadership  rather  than  of  international 
dominion.  The  United  States  desires  for  herself  no  dominion  over  the  territory,  the 
business  or  the  citizenship  of  any  other  country.  She  only  desires  to  lead  the  world 
toward  more  humane  government  and  a  stronger  allegiance  to  the  interests  of  humanity. 

Alongside  the  development  of  this  political  theory  we  have  engaged  our  energies 
in  an  elaborate  program  of  education.  This  has  been  due  to  a  cherished  belief  that 
the  perpetuity  of  a  democracy  is  conditioned  upon  universal  education.  Democracy 
and  ignorance  cannot  dwell  together.  A  stratified  citizenship  means  death  to  popular 
government  Popular  government  can  not  be  endured  unless  it  is  devoted  to  the 
public  welfare.  These  things  demand  not  only  intelligent  citizenship  but  educated 
leadership.  Moreover  they  demand  that  the  leadership  shall  be  in  sympathy  with, 
and  devoted  to,  the  fundamental  ideals  of  democracy. 

Our  educational  program  has  been  in  accord  with  these  ideals  for  half  a  century. 
The  enlarged  place  occupied  by  science,  and  particularly  by  applied  science,  in  our 
modern  education,  has  been  parsilleled  by  the  introduction  and  development  of  economic 
and  social  science.  The  older  humanities  while  not  abandoned,  have  been  surpassed 
by  the  newer  philanthropies.  These  new  developments  in  education,  beginning  with 
agriculture  and  running  through  the  gamut  to  economic  zoology,  have  furnished 
opportunity  and  occupation  for  educated  men  and  women  to  render  most  beneficent 
service  in  the  interest  of  public  welfare.  Curiously  enough,  in  the  midst  of  these 
activities  our  democratic  government  is  rapidly  becoming  a  government  by  experts. 
The  United  States  Department  of  Agriculture,  in  co-operation  with  the  several  states, 
is  rapidly  developing  expert  service  in  every  field  of  agricultural  and  horticultural 
production.  In  like  manner  the  Federal  Government  and  the  states  are  uniting  their 
energies  in  the  promotion  of  applied  science,  of  commerce,  and  of  business.  The 
public  health  service,  to  speak  only  of  one,  has  put  tremendous  emphasis  upon  the 
importance  of  human  life  and  upon  national  heakh  as  a  great  asset.  All  these 
activities  have  been  under  the  direction  and  leadership  of  our  educated  citizenship. 
There  is  a  long  catalog  of  splendid  leadership  among  our  citizens  who  have  used 
their  talents  and  attainments  for  noble  and  uplifting  purposes.  We  have  rejoiced  in 
our  education  because  we  have  believed  it  was  preparing  men  and  women  to  build  a 
better  society  and  a  better  state. 

Amid  this  rapid  development  we  have  seen  the  necessity  of  an  ethical  point  of 
view  and  have  continually  urged  upon  the  generation  of  students  the  importance  of 
ethical  character  as  underpinning  our  skill.  For  example,  applied  chemistry  has  made 
toxicology  an  important  science.  The  state  has  stepped  in  and  regulated  the  sale  of 
poison  in  the  interest  of  the  public  The  larger  field  of  adulterated  foods  and  drugs 
has  led  to  general  legislation,  intended  to  protect  the  public.  It  is  obvious  that  we 
have  not  yet  reached  the  place  where  the  ethical  standard  of  men  having  intelligence 
and  education  will  prevent  them  from  making  criminal  use  of  their  knowledge. 
Nevertheless,  public  sentiment  through  educated  leadership,  has  set  the  current  in  the 
right  direction.  The  regulatory  and  police  powers  of  the  state  are  being  used  as 
never  before  in  the  interest  of  the  public  welfare.  This  movement  is  due  entirely 
to  the  educated  citizenship  of  the  country. 

Amid  all  this  evidence  of  progress  there  is  one  feature  to  which  I  would  direct 
attention.  It  is  not  altogether  complimentary  to  our  civilization  that  we  have  not  yet 
developed  any  great  control  over  the  tendencies  developing  from  selfish  or  criminal 
impulses.  The  positive  efforts  in  this  direction  have  been  manifested  somewhat 
tardily  and  not  with  the  universal  enthusiasm  we  might  expect  from  a  generation 
with  the  wide  vision  brought  by  education.  Some  years  ago  President  Eliot,  of 
Harvard,  directed  attention  to  the  fact  that  crime  had  not  decreased  as  public  educa- 
tion had  increased.  The  public  school  men  came  to  the  rescue  of  our  system  of 
education  and  stoutly  resented  some  of  the  inferences  drawn  by  President  Eliot.  Nevcr^ 
theless,  the  fact  remains  that  even  among  the  more  highly  educated,  criminal  impulses 
and  criminal  conduct  have  been  by  no  means  suppressed.  The  practical  issue  is 
whether  our  educated  citizenship  has  bent  its  energies  as  it  ought  to  the  corrective 
and  reformatory  results  desired  in  our  civilization.  Grateful  appreciation  should  be 
given  to  the  movement  looking  toward  prison  reform,  our  philanthropies  and  the 
new  points  of  view  given  by  modern  psychology  and  sociology.    It  is  to  be  observed

however,  that  these  efforts  have  chiefly  been  made  among  the  poor  and  the  dependent 
classes.  The  large  area  among  the  well-to-do  in  our  generation  has  been  almost 
entirely  neglected.  Education  is  not  complete  when  it  has  developed  skill,  or  what 
men  term  efficiency.  It  is  the  direction  of  this  efficiency  which  introduces  the  ethical 
factor  determining  in  the  last  analysis  the  quality  of  the  leadership. 

In  view  of  these  considerations  I  raise  the  issue  whether  our  educated  citizenship- 
has  assumed  its  full  responsibility.  How  far  are  we  responsible  for  the  organization  of 
the  world's  thought  and  activities?  Should  both  the  form  and  the  spirit  of  govern- 
ment be  under  the  control  of  the  political  philosophy  of  our  educated  citizens?  Is 
there  an  obligation  on  the  part  of  such  citizens  to  assume  aggressive  leadership  in 
the  world's  affairs?  We  have  been  proceeding  on  the  theory  of  freedom  in  initiative 
and  subsequent  control  of  such  wrongs  as  were  developed.  Our  corrective  factors 
have,  therefore,  been  introduced  after  the  development  of  the  wrong.  Under  this 
freedom  almost  any  form  of  evil  may  develop  and  society  has  been  content  to  provide 
a  remedy  as  best  it  could.  It  is  encouraging  to  note  in  certain  limited  circles,  that 
modem  education  believes  in  putting  in  Uie  corrective  before  the  criminal  has  been 
developed.  This  is  education  and  leadership,  rather  than  reform.  Is  it  possible  to 
give  this  principle  a  wider  application  and  reconstruct  society  and  the  state  on  the 
basis  of  the  right  and,  the  true,  and  thus  relieve  ourselves  of  a  large  amount  of 
penal  and  reformatory  service?  Here  as  it  seems  to  me,  lies  a  great  uncultivated 
territory  where  the  educated  citizenship  of  the  world  could  engage  itself  in  the  finest 
kind  of  pioneering.  We  must  steadily  advance  into  this  unoccupied  territory  and  fill 
it  with  right  ideas  if  we  are  to  protect  the  future  against  the  calamities  of  error  and 
selfishness.  We  have  proceeded  uppn  the  theory  that  governments  will  be  inefficient,, 
corrupt  and  expensive.  Our  remedy  has  been  the  temporary  makeshift.  My  conten- 
tion is  that  the  educated  leadership  of  the  country  has  lacked  in  aggressive  character 
and  loyalty  to  its  own  ideals.  If  such  men  had  rendered  a  more  constructive  service 
in  the  afifairs  of  the  world  there  would  have  been  less  need  of  the  penal  and  reforma- 
tory in  readjusting  conditions. 

As  illustrating  this  principle,  let  me  direct  your  attention  to  the  fact  that  we  are 
today  in  the  presence  of  a  world  war.  True,  only  Europe  is  actively  in  the  battle- 
field, but  the  entire  world  is  so  engaged  intellectually  and  sympathetically  with  the 
conflict  that  we  are  halted  in  many  of  our  activities.  The  thought  of  America  is  as 
much  on  Europe  today  as  on  the  pressing  problems  of  American  life  and  democracy. 
The  world  is  not  only  disturbed  and  distressed,  but  paralyzed  in  the  presence  of  this 
great  suicidal  eflfort  of  civilization.  No  nation  has  yet  been  willing  to  assume  re- 
sponsibility for  this  war.  They  attempt  to  explain  it  but  not  to  justify  it.  This 
situation  is  ample  proof  that  history  will  never  justify  it  Whether  the  blame  and 
responsibility  will  be  satisfactorily  located  and  accepted  is  another  issue.  It  has  been 
pertinently  suggested  that  this  is  a  scholars  war.  Certainly  it  is  no  peasants  war. 
The  multitudes  never  invented  it.  The  business  interests  in  the  countries  involved  did 
not  petition  for  it.  On  the  other  hand,  attention  has  been  directed  to  the  fact  that 
every  crowned  head  of  Europe  has  been  educated  for  his  position.  The  leaders  and 
counselors  of  state  are  practically  all  men  of  university  training.  Underneath  al! 
the  activities  of  two  generations  has  been  a  philosophy  teaching  that  war  was  both 
necessary  and  inevitable.  This  has  been  the  philosophy  of  the  scholastic  and  not  the 
desire  of  the  plain  people.  Moreover,  science,  both  pure  and  applied,  has  made  a 
contribution  to  this  awful  human  slaughter  as  never  before  in  the  history  of  the 
world.  The  instruments  of  war  have  reached  a  state  of  perfection  which  only  the 
most  exact  science  could  provide.  The  theatre  of  war  has  been  changed  from  the 
battle-field  of  the  meadow  and  the  surface  of  the  ocean,  to  the  sky  above  us  and 
the  waters  underneath  the  earth.  The  airship  and  the  submarine  have  added  to  the 
destructive  impulses  of  men.  The  inventive  genius  of  the  chemist  has  provided  a 
new  weapon.  Everywhere  applied  science  manipulated  by  educated  leadership  has 
multiplied  the  horrors  of  the  war.  This  educated  generation  has  totally  eclipsed  the 
brutality  of  the  savage  and  stands  unrivaled  in  its  ability  to  sacrifice  human  life,  to 
destroy  property,  to  disregard  the  sacred  institutions  of  history  and  to  trample  under 
foot  the  finer  sentiments  for  which  our  education  and  our  religion  have  presumably 
prepared  us.  The  educated  publicists  and  writers  upon  current  political  history  have 
told  us  for  a  generation  that  this  catastrophe  was  impending.    I  do  not  assume  that

they  knew  its  awful  dimensions.  We  have  listened  to  their  counsels  and  have 
argued  ourselves  into  the  belief  that  this  condition  was  unavoidable. 

In  our  own  country  today  there  are  thousands  of  educated  citizens  who  are 
attached  to  these  same  theories.  They  assume  that  human  selfishness  and  human 
greed  can  neither  be  suppressed  nor  controlled.  Occasionally  we  hear  that  war  is 
necessary  to  prevent  us  from  a  decline  in  national  virility.  Apparently  these  men 
fail  to  realize  that  their  philosophy  is  responsible  for  the  consequences.  After  the 
adoption  of  our  own  Constitution  we  parleyed  about  the  institution  known  as  human 
slavery.  Compromise  after  compromise  was  effected  only  to  result  in  the  dreadful 
struggle  of  the  Civil  War.  Erroneous  theory  and  a  fals6  philosophy  underlay  our 
political  life.  In  Europe  the  political  philosophers  have  led  on  to  a  condition  where 
literally  by  the  millions  the  plain  people  are  led  to  the  slaughter  as  a  price  to  be 
paid  for  adherence  to  false  teaching.  Who,  if  not  the  scholars  of  Europe,  are  to  be 
held  responsible  for  the  destruction  of  civilization,  the  sacrifice  of  human  life  and 
the  unmeasured  suffering  of  the  next  fifty  years? 

It  is  worth  while  to  meditate  upon  the  fact  that  the  organization  of  all  the  pro- 
ductive industries  of  Europe  for  more  than  a  generation  have  been  occupied  in  a 
preparation  for  war.  This  in  itself  is  a  terrible  indictment  of  civilization.  More- 
over, the  enormous  expenditures  of  money  have  made  the  burdens  of  the  people  almost 
unbearable.  Add  to  these  the  uncounted  millions  of  indebtedness  now  being  piled 
-mountain  high  upon  the  people  engaged  in  this  war,  and  we  face  either  public  bank- 
ruptcy or  a  perpetual  enslavement  of  the  people  in  business  to  the  wickeslness  of  war. 
Who  can  imagine  what  the  results  would  have  been  if  all  this  intellectual  power,  this 
l>usiness  activity,  this  human  energy,  had  been  devoted  to  a  constructive  program 
in  the  interest  of  human  brotherhood?  Why  have  not  these  resources  been  so  utilized? 
If  the  conditions  had  developed  from  the  passion  of  the  ignorant  multitudes  there 
might  have  been  some  glory  in  a  readjustment  by  the  educated  men.  It  was  not  a 
•quarrel  between  Abraham's  herdsmen  and  Lot's  herdsmen,  but  Abraham  and  Lot 
have  been  the  chief  offenders  in  this  great  strife.  The  educated  men  of  the  world 
^and  today  indicted  before  the  bar  of  public  opinion  for  having  brought  on  a 
suicidal  controversy  in  the  heart  and  home  of  history,  of  tradition,  of  science,  of 
philosophy,  of  religion,  of  education  and  of  civilization. 

What  then  shall  we  say  of  the  outlook  for  educated  citizenship?  What  new 
opportunities  or  duties  does  the  present  day  present?  What  equipment  of  mind  and 
heart  does  the  educated  man  need  in  order  to  meet  adequately  the  problem  of  his 
day  and  generation?  Manifestly  in  this  great  democracy  we  must  have  a  safe  and 
sane  leadership  by  educated  men  to  protect  us  against  danger  from  whatever  source. 
Ignorance  furnishes  only  the  material  for  foment  and  discord  when  aroused  and  led 
l)y  the  demagogue  or  designing  men. 

My  first  suggestion  is  that  we  need  a  sound  underlying  philosophy  that  shall  grip 
our  hearts.  It  should  be  constructive  and  thoroughly  practical.  We  have  spent  a 
^reat  deal  of  time  in  studying  the  philosophy  of  the  ancients.  This  is  well  and  fur- 
nishes the  basis  for  intelligent  scholarship  and  judgment.  Unless  I  am  mistaken  too 
many  of  us  have  regarded  our  philosophy  as  pure  theory.  We  have  not  looked  to 
philosophy  as  a  guide  of  life,  nor  have  we  regarded  philosophy  as  a  basis  on  which 
to  reconstruct  our  business.  In  our  eagerness  to  follow  the  dictates  of  science  we 
liave  overlooked  the  importance  of  philosophy  as  furnishing  the  final  reason  for  our 
civilization.  We  are  today  seeing  the  fruits  of  a  philosophy  born  from  materialism, 
cherished  in  skepticism  and  relying  upon  force,  physical  force  at  that,  as  the  final 
test  of  all  civilization.  Out  of  this  world  contest  we  shall  hear  the  death  knell  of 
materialism  as  the  philosophy  of  life,  and  of  physical  force  as  the  supreme  assurance 
of  contract  This  great  war  is  just  now  a  war  of  ideas.  When  the  war  has  closed, 
the  real  war  will  begin.  That  is  to  say,  the  contest  will  be  for  the  supremacy  of  a 
true  philosophy  of  civilization  and  a  definition  of  the  true  functions  of  government. 
'The  supremacy  of  the  intellectual,  the  moral  and  the  spiritual  will  be  the  great  issue.

hitherto  been  the  resort  of  the  scholars.  From  now  on  it  will  be  the  friend  of  man. 
The  scholars  and  the  university  men  of  all  nations  will  be  called  upon  to  lead  in  the 
direction  of  humanity  and  of  public  welfare.  The  false  notes  that  have  been  struck 
in  the  past  generation  are  now  pretty  well  known.  We  shall  ask  the  philosopher  of 
the  future  to  tell  us,  not  simply  what  has  been,  or  what  must  be,  as  the  outcome  of 
false  premises,  but  what  ought  to  be.  We  shall  also  ask  him  to  join  us  in  bringing 
things  to  pass.  We  have  worked  out,  in  America,  in  a  fairly  satisfactory  way,  the 
doctrine  of  brotherhood.  We  need  to  give  it  new  emphasis  and  lead  in  the  organ- 
ization of  a  brotherhood  as  wide  as  humanity  itself.  The  cosmopolitan  character  of 
American  citizenship  brings  us  into  sympathy  with  all  nations  of  the  earth.  In- 
dividuals may  have  their  local  prejudices,  but  as  a  whole  American  citizenship  stands 
committed  to  the  welfare  of  the  whole  world.  Our  political,  social  and  religious 
philosophy  in  accord  with  the  truth  above  must  be  as  broad  as  the  needs  of  humanity. 
America  will  not,  therefore,  take  a  position  of  antagonism,  but  one  of  co-operation. 
She  will  insist  upon  a  broad  and  generous  interpretation  of  fundamental  truth  as  the 
basis  for  all  international  relations.  The  conception  that  war  is  the  foundation  of 
human  progress  will  be  eliminated.  The  older  theory  that  governments  are  based  on 
selfishness  will  be  abandoned  and  a  new  theory  set  up  that  government  is  for  the 
people.  The  spirit  of  Lincoln's  Gettysburg  speech  will  permeate  the  political  philosophy 
of  the  future.  The  doctrine  that  the  strong  may  rightfully  dispossess  the  weak  will 
give  way  to  the  law  of  love,  and  we  that  are  strong  will  learn  to  bear  the  infirmities 
of  the  weak  and  not  to  please  ourselves.  The  philosophy  of  conquest  will  be  sup- 
planted by  the  sacredness  of  contract  The  right  to  live  will  not  be  a  question  of 
physical  force,  but  a  question  of  fitness  to  live. 

A  second  suggestion  is  that  the  world  will  be  reorganized  on  the  basis  of  the  truer 
and  better  philosophy.  The  activities  of  the  world  will  be  determined  by  the  needs 
of  the  world,  not  by  the  ambitions  of  brute  force.  Business  will  be  organized  to  meet 
the  need  of  a  growing  and  prosperous  world.  I  am  aware  that  a  superficial  philosophy 
teaches  that  an  admittedly  bad  use  of  revenues  can  serve  a  good  purpose.  There  are 
those  who  justify  the  spendthrift;  there  are  those  who  believe  that  the  manufacture 
of  adulterated  foods  develops  business;  there  are  those  who  think  a  criminal  court 
is  a  good  thing  simply  because  we  have  crime.  To  wrap  the  world's  energy  up  in  a 
cannon  ball  is  said  to  make  business  in  a  prosperous  country.  It  might  be  worth 
while  to  observe  that  private  capital  is  not  invested  heavily  in  dreadnaughts  to  be 
rented  to  the  government  in  time  of  war.  The  only  agency  foolish  enough  to  make 
such  investment  is  the  government  itself.  In  the  modern  city  the  traffic  policeman 
is  ten-fold  more  useful  than  any  other  policeman.  When  the  business  of  the  world  has 
been  reorganized  on  the  basis  of  human  needs,  the  regulatory  power  of  the  policeman 
will  supplant  his  criminal  functions  and  greatly  enhance  his  usefulness.  It  will  take 
a  tremendous  revolution  of  mind  and  a  long  lapse  of  time  to  bring  about  this  re- 
organization, but  the  world  is  already  approaching  the  belief  that  the  forces  of  this 
world  should  be  organized  in  the  interest  of  the  things  that  are  right  Righteousness 
alone  exalteth  a  nation.  Sin  is  a  reproach  to  any  people.  If  the  energy  used  in 
applying  the  truth  of  science  to  frauds  and  fakes  were  applied  to  the  development 
of  honest  articles  well  adapted  to  meet  human  needs  we  should  greatly  increase  the 
sum  total  of  human  comfort  and  relieve  the  world  of  a  vast  amount  of  drudgery. 
The  institutions  of  vice  and  crime  all  over  our  land  could  well  be  abolished  and  hopeful 
institutions  substituted  therefor  with  an  equal  amount  of  energy.  The  problem  is  one 
of  sound  -theory  and  adequate  organization.  We  have  been  the  dupes  of  so  many 
falacious  theories  that  our  organization  of  business  has  greatly  suffered  thereby.  The 
educated  citizen  must  lead  in  this  constructive  reorganization.  He  is  the  man  to  point 
out  to  society  why  it  should  welcome  a  hospital  and  regret  a  penitentiary;  why  it 
should  maintain  an  institution  for  the  blind,  and  why  it  should  legislate  against  causes 
producing  blindness.  His  leadership  must  bring  us  a  state  whose  chief  function  will 
be  to.  serve  the  interest  of  the  whole  people.  It  will  protect  the  rights  of  life  and 
property  and  make  a  highway  for  opportunity.  If  the  educated  man  of  the  future 
shall  take  a  narrow  or  selfish  view  and  use  his  talents  for  self  aggrandizement  our 
experiment  in  democracy  will  insofar  fail  Our  hope  lies  in  the  educated  citizen  who 
will  lend  his  energy  to  the  upbuilding  of  the  state  organized  in  the  interest  of  truth 
and  righteousness.

522  THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS  [August 

A  third  taggestion  will  be  that  the  educated  citizen  will  lead  in  the  field  of  prac- 
tical politics.  As  already  intimated,  he  has  been  doing  this  in  such  a  way  as  to  bring 
an  indictment  against  himself.  He  most  be  revoltxtionized  in  his  political  philosophy, 
reorganized  in  his  business  administration  and  then  proceed  in  practical  politics,  to 
supplant  the  law  of  hate  and  selfishness  with  ^bc  law  of  lore  and  good  wilL  The 
whole  purpose  of  government  most  be  stated  anew  and  the  world  protected  against 
the  war  spirit  and  the  fnry  of  the  jingo.  The  primitive  tribal  instinct  for  war,  for 
personal  revenge,  for  controversy  has  been  eliminated  in  good  society.  The  duel  is  a 
thing  of  the  past.  Our  courts  furnish  a  redress  for  private  grievance.  It  is  only 
when  in  attendance  upon  international  functions  that  civilized  people  are  permitted 
to  carry  guns  and  swords.  When  the  ethics  of  good  society  readies  the  international 
parties,  we  shall  wear  better  clothing  and  fewer  weapons  of  defense.  Is  it  not  the 
marvd  of  the  age  that  wise  men  can  see  the  advantages  of  peace  in  small  areas  and 
cannot  understand  it  in  larger  areas?  Is  it  not  beyond  comprehension  that  men  can 
see  the  advantage  of  law  and  law  enforcement  over  all  the  world  in  spots,  but  cannot 
see  it  for  the  world  as  a  unit?  We  can  erect  courts  with  a  final  word  of  authority 
in  any  nation  on  the  earth,  but  apparently  cannot  erect  one  for  all  the  nations.  Every 
nation  is  willing  to  affirm  its  own  righteousness  but  deny  the  righteousness  of  the 
other.  This  is  a  remnant  of  the  barbarian's  instinct  of  unwillingness  to  trust  anybody 
but  himself. 

This  condition  of  affairs  is  probably  due  to  two  things.  First  we  have  assumed 
that  nations  were  the  embodiment  of  selfishness,  and  second,  government  officials 
have  probably  felt  called  upon  to  represent  their  governments  by  acting  the  part  The 
folly  of  this  procedure  is  so  obvious  as  to  need  no  comment  The  only  explanation 
upon  which  we  fall  back  is,  poor  old  human  nature.  Assuming  this  to  be  true  we 
should  remember  that  human  nature  is  not  past  redemption.  The  whole  war  spirit 
is  a  spirit  of  pessimistic  helplessness.  The  spirit  of  hope,  of  faith  in  human  institu- 
tions of  loyalty  to  universally  accepted  ideals,  would  drive  away  many  of  these  ghosts 
of  fear  and  leave  us  free  to  live  together  as  brethren. 

A  most  interesting  comment  on  this  general  situation  is  found  in  the  fact  that  the 
men  in  the  trenches  bear  each  other  no  hostility  or  enmity.  When  they  meet  in  the 
hospitals  attended  by  the  same  nurses  and  physicians,  thdr  brotherly  landness  is  all 
that  could  be  desired.  It  is  rare  indeed  that  personal  enmities  are  devdoped  be- 
tween soldiers  in  opposing  camps.  Even  the  officers  bear  themselves  with  dignity  and 
politeness.  The  hatred  is  purely  offidal  due  to  a  condition  for  which  no  one  wilt 
accept  the  responsibility  and  the  logical  outcome  of  the  theory  based  on  false  prem- 
ises. Has  the  time  not  arrived  when  the  educated  citizenship  of  the  world  can  organize 
itself  into  a  brotherhood  of  humanity?  If  the  college-bred  men  and  women  of  the 
world  would  stand  together  in  a  covenant  of  peace  there  would  be  no  more  war.

19?  5]  ALUMNI  REUNIONS  525 

ALUMNI  DAY 

The  coolest  Commencement  in  years  and  plenty  of  valves  for  surplus 
enthusiasm  made  the  reunion  season  this  year  the  most  successful  ever  held 
in  the  history  of  the  University.  There  were  exactly  i,6oo  registrations  at 
the  alumni  headquarters  in  the  Memorial  Building.  This  is  an  increase  of 
180  over  a  year  ago.  Twenty-eight  classes  held  reunions,  including  an 
enthusiastic  meeting  of  1910,  not  on  the  official  program.  Though  '95  might 
properly  have  met  this  year,  its  reunion  was  postponed  for  another  year,  in 
deference  to  the  Dix  plan,  which  the  class  voted  to  follow  at  its  last  reunion. 

Though  practically  all  the  gatherings  were  characterized  by  their  enthu- 
siasm, the  quarter-centennial  class,  1890,  the  decennial  class,  1905,  and  the 
class  of  191 3,  were  particularly  energetic  in  making  their  presence  felt.  The 
two  oldest  classes  to  hold  reunions  were  '70  and  '75,  both  of  which  had  most 
successful  meetings.  The  oldest  class,  1870,  had  18  members  back  out  of  a 
present  total  of  37  members. 

George  M.  Lane,  '53,  was  the  oldest  graduate  present  and  his  speech  at 
the  Alumni  Mass  Meeting  was  one  of  the  events  of  the  week. 

The  total  number  of  registrations  included,  of  course,  a  certain  propor- 
tion of  alumni  resident  in  Ann  Arbor.  This  may  be  offset,  however,  as  far 
as  it  is  an  indication  of  alumni  who  returned  from  away,  by  the  fact  that 
there  were  a  certain  proportion  who  attended  many  of  their  class  meetings, 
and  failed  to  register,  for  one  reason  or  another,  at  the  alumni  headquarters. 

Registration  began  early  on  Monday  morning,  and  continued  until  the 
reveille  on  Thursday  marked  the  end  of  the  week's  entertainments.  Tuesday, 
as  had  been  expected,  was  largely  taken  up  by  the  meetings  of  the  various 
classes,  though  the  first  ball  game  with  Pennsylvania  and  the  student  enter- 
tainment in  Hill  Auditorium  were  well  attended.  Wednesday,  Alumni  Day, 
formed  the  focus  of  the  whole  program,  when  the  University  and  the  Alumni 
Association  acted  as  hosts  to  their  guests,  the  hundreds  of  graduates  who 
returned  to  the  old  Campus  for  a  good  time  and  the  renewal  of  old  friend- 
ships. 

Following  automobile  rides  offered  to  all  who  desired  to  take  them 
through  the  kindness  of  members  of  the  Ann  Arbor  Civic  Association,  the 
aliunni  were  served  a  buffet  luncheon  in  the  Waterman  G)rmnasium  by  the 
Collegiate  Alumnae  of  Ann  Arbor.  The  expedition  with  which  the  thousand 
alumni  were  served  was  one  of  the  surprises  of  the  day.  Everyone  was 
through  before  one  o'clock,  and  ready  for  the  Alumni  Mass  Meeting  in  Hill 
Auditorium  which  was  scheduled  for  two  o'clock.  The  report  of  the  Mass 
Meeting  and  the  Alumni  Parade  following  appear  elsewhere.

are  given  below : 


'70. 
All  of  us  who  attended  the  reunion  of 
our  class  at  Ann  Arbor  June  22  were  de- 
lighted. We  met  in  Professor  Beman's  rec- 
itation rooms  in  Tappan  Hall,  on  Tuesday 
morning.  Some  had  not  seen  each  other 
since  graduation;  others  had  met  but  once 
or  twice.     It  was  a  joyful  and   hilarious

meeting.  Before  separating  we  arranged  to 
go  in  a  bunch  to  Ferry  Field  to  see  Mich- 
igan show  Pennsylvania  how  to  win  at 
baseball,  then  to  meet  in  front  of  the  Law 
Building  for  a  group  photograph,  then  to 
proceed  to  the  banquet  rooms,  where  Pro- 
fessor and  Mrs.  Beman  had  provided  a  very 
choice  menu.  After  a  couple  of  hours  there 
of  genuine  pleasure,  enhanced  by  old-time 
college  songs,  we  repaired  to  the  beautiful 
home  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Beman,  where  we 
affectionately  reviewed  the  achievements 
and  experiences  of  members  of  the  class 
until  the  midnight  hour  had  struck. 


The  meeting  was  successful  beyond  ex- 
pectations. Resolutions  were  passed  ex- 
pressing our  thanks  and  gratitude  for  the 
exceedingly  generous  and  gratifying  hospi- 
tality tendered  us  by  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Beman. 
Our  next  reunion  at  our  Alma  Mater  will 
be  in  1920— fifty  years  after.  All  must 
come. 

Chauss  S.  Carter,  Secretary.

A  brief  reference  to  each  of  these  ten 
classmates  will  perhaps  be  appreciated  by 
Alumnus  readers. 

Orlando  F.  Barnes,  tax  commissioner, 
Lansing.  Mich.  Keenly  interested  in  tax 
equalization.  Through  the  work  of  the 
commission  the  University  has  been  bene- 
fitted by  an  increase  in  revenues  to  the 
extent  of  $250,000.  It  is  predicted  the 
amount  will  be  doubled  by  1916. 

Clarence  E.  Bement,  Gas  Engineer, 
Lansing,  Mich.  Keenly  interested  in  the 
welfare  of  young  men  under  him.  A  sup- 
porter of  the  work  of  Michigan  State 
Historical  Association. 

C.  L.  Dubuar,  Lumber  Merchant,  North- 
ville,  Mich.  Expressed  pleasure  at  the 
reunion  and  philosophized  on  the  pleasure 
of  memory. 

C.  A.  Fyke.  Stockman,  Bryan,  Ohio. 
Breeder  of  registered  Holstein  Cattle.  In- 
terested in  the  welfare  of  the  community 
in  which  he  lives,  encourages  singing. 

George  M.  Gillette,  Iron  Manufacturer. 
Minneapolis.  Fairly  accounted  the  father 
in  this  country  of  working  men's  compen- 
sation legislation.  A  sturdy  defender  of 
the  business  man  of  today.  Favors  the 
organization  of  business  men  to  prove 
their  integrity. 

W.  W.  Hannan,  Real  Estate,  Detroit. 
Under  strict  orders  from  his  physician  to 
desist  from  his  high  pressure  speed  in  for- 
tune making  and  city  building.    To  temper 


his  enthusiasm  he  read  his  brief  address  to 
his  classmates.  He  manifests  deep  interest 
in  world  problems.  His  address  follows: 
Classmates  and  Friends: — 

I  want,  first  of  all,  to  welcome  you  to  this 
thirty -fifth  reunion  of  our  class,  and  to  express 
the  great  pleasure  which  it  gives  me  to  have  you 
as  my  ^ests  at  this  hour. 

Holding  these  reunions  five  years  apart  makes 
it  seem  as  though,  having  had  but  a  few  of  them, 
it  has  only  been  a  few  years  after  aU  since  oar 
Commencement  day. 

I  am  sure  no  one  of  us  here  would  admit  that 
these  thirtjp-five  years  have  seemed,  in  their  pass- 
ing, anythmg  like  as  long  as  even  ten  yeara.  in 
anticipation,  looked  to  us  then. 

Time  has  a  graceful,  unostentatious  way  of  slip- 
ping along  and  men  who  are  busy  scarcely  note 
Its  passing. 

Upon  occasions  like  this  of  the  reuxiion  of 
friends  and  associates  long  separated,  the  natural 
mood  is  one  of^  reminiscence,  and  the  inclination 
to  live  over  again  the  pleasures  and  the  ambitions 
of  the  past  is  strong,  but  I  am  not  going  to  in- 
dulge that  mood  today,  indeed  I  am  going  to 
avail  myself  of  the  privilege  always  accorded  a 
man  who  is  sick  and  say  little,  leaving  it  to  the 
rest  of  you  to  do  the  talking.  If  I  may  be  par- 
doned a  personal  word  in  explanation,  I  want  to 
say  that  during  the  past  year  I  have  been  obliged, 
under  my  physician*s  orders,  to  relax  my  business 
activities  and  to  keep  almost  entirely  awav  from 
mv  office.  I  have  foolishly  been  guilty  pf  doinff 
what.  I  dare  say  many  of  you  have  done,  worked 
too  hard  and  too  long  under  high  pressure  without 
the  needed  rest. 

The  few  words  that  are  in  mv  heart  to  say  to- 
day are  along,  not  the  lines  01  the  past,  but  of 
the  present  and  future 

I  think  the  immediate  present  is  a  most  inter- 
esting period  of  world  history  in  which  to  lire 
and  work  Matters  of  tremendous  import  are 
^oing  on  all  about  us  The  world's  map  is  sub- 
ject to  vital  changes  at  any  moment  Age  \otig 
customs  and  conventions  are  tottering.  Science 
and  {philanthropy  are  striding  across  the  world 
hand  in  hand,  their  beneficent  touch  felt  all  along 
the  way.  and  leaving  a  trail  of  physical  and  moral 
health  and  happiness  behind. 

The  spirit  of  investigation  and  adventure  is  per- 
ceived on  every  hand.  There  is  a  feeling  that 
anything  may  happen,  indeed  is  more  than 
likely  to. 

We  in  the  United  States  have  much  to  be  thank- 
ful for.  Our  peace  and  prosperity  mean  much  to 
us  every  day,  but  on  a  day  like  this,  here  in  Ann 
Arbor,  whence  hundreds  of  young  men  are  going 
out  into  the  world  to  begin  the  struggle  which 
will  make  of  them  the  citizens  of  to-morrow,  a 
very  keen  realization  comes  to  us  as  to  what  is 
happening  to  the  young  men  of  England  and 
France,  of  Germany  and  Russia — David  Starr 
Tordan  stated  the  matter  coldly  and  tersely  when 
he  told  us  in  Detroit  the  other  day  that  these 
countries  are  exchanging  their  young  men,  their 
choicest  and  best,  for  bronze  statues. 

When  the  peace  policy  of  the  Hague  can  be 
termed  "the  world's  grimmest  jest,'*  it  is  time 
for  us  to  realize  and  to  express  what  we  per- 
sonally owe  to  our  Alma  Mater  and  what  the 
world  at  large  owes  to  the  university  and  educa- 
tional centers  throughout  our  country  for<  their 
propaganda  of  right  thinking. 

What  a  contrast  to  turn  from  this  war  pictiu^ 
of  misery  and  desolation  to  a  man  in  Detroit 
who  is  working  just  as  hard  as  these  war  lords 
but  to  how  much  grander  purpose.  Who  is 
spreading  all  over  our  city,  with  unequalled 
lavishness.  jobs  and  homes,  cententment,  pros- 
perity, ambition.  Who  is  putting  the  joy  of 
living  into  the  hearts  of  thousands  and  whose 
example  is  showing  other  men  the  way  to  get 
something  worth  while  out  of  life.

Again  I  say  I  am  glad  I  am  living  here  and 
now.  I  am  proud  to  have  been  a  member  of  the 
class  of  '80,  proud  of  the  successful  men  it  pro- 
duced— profoundly  grateful  to  my  Alma  Mater 
for  the  mspiration  my  own  life  received  here. 

In  vour  faces  I  see  the  thoughts  of  the  past 
and  ot  today  struggling  for  expression — and  I  am 
going  to  call  on  the  different  classmates  as  far 
as  our  time  permits  to  tell  us  of  those  things, 
personal  or  otherwise,  which  are  suggested  by  the 
occasion,  and  the  hour.

general  practice,  now  devoting  much  of  his 
time  to  the  development  of  a  business  of 
growing  and  selling  nursery  stock. 

Many  members  of  the  class  unable  to 
attend  the  dinner,  sent  messages:

Before  dinner  the  accompanying  class 
picture  was  taken. 

After  dinner  the  class  adjourned  to  meet 
in  numbers  in  1920. 

E.  S.  Sherrill, 

Reunion  Secretary. 


*8om. 

At  the  meeting  of  the  medical  class  of 
1880,  Dr.  W.  S.  Morden.  of  Saline,  was 
elected  president;  Dr.  W.  T,  Dodge,  of 
Big  Rapids,  secretary;  and  Dr.  P.  D.  E. 
Witherspoon,  of  Grand  Rapids,  correspond-

entertainments. 

Those  present  were:

'81. 


The  class  of  '81  never  had  a  more  enjoy- 
able reunion  than  the  one  held  this  June. 
After  assembling  at  Memorial  Hall  we  re- 
ceived a  most  cordial  invitation  from  Miss 
Anna  B.  Gelston  to  partake  of  luncheon 
with  her  at  her  beautifully  situated  home 
on  Geddes  Heights.  At  the  luncheon  the 
business  of  the  class  was  carried  on  in 
rather  an  informal  way,  and  the  social 
features  likewise.  The  old  officers  were  re- 
elected, namely: 

Homer  H.   Kingsley — President. 

Hon.   Charles  A.  Townc — Vice-President. 

Allan  H.   Frazer — Secretary. 

Nellie  S.   Payne — Historian. 

Probably  the  most  important  business 
transacted  of  interest  to  the  University  was 
that  a  resolution  was  carried  through  that 
the  Class  of  '81  lit.  should  make  as  a  dona- 
tion to  the  University,  in  honor  of  '81  lit,  a 
memorial  tablet  to  Professor  Henry  S. 
Frieze,  who  was  acting  president  of  the 
University  in  June,  1881,  when  our  class 
graduated,  President  Angell  having  left  in 
May  to  go  to  China  as  Minister  Plenipo- 
tentiary. This  memorial  will  consist  of  a 
bronze  relief  somewhat  similar  to  the  one 
now  on  the  walls  to  President  Angell,  cost- 
ing between  $1,200  and  $1,500.  The  com- 
mittee having  charge  of  the  matter  is  Ben- 
jamin L.  D'Ooge,  Anna  B.  Gelston,  and 
Herbert  A.  Hodge. 

The  class  took  in  the  usual  entertain- 
ments going  on  in  Ann  Arbor  at  the  time, 
and  will  meet  again  in  1920. 

Those  registered  in  the  Alumni  Head- 
quarters were:  , 

S.  Elizabeth  Bangs;  Claude  R.  Buchanan; 
George  N.  Carman,  A.M.  (hon.)  '06;  Samuiel 
Chandler;  Judge  Ira  W.  Christian,  '78-*8i ;  Festus 
C.  Cole;  George  B.  Daniels;  Benjamin  L. 
D'Ooge.  A.M.'84;  Allan  H.  Frazer;  Don  A.

^82. 

Thirty-three  of  the  class  of  '82,  including 
members  of  their  families,  assembled  for 
luncheon  Tuesday  evening,  June  22,  at  the 
home  of  the  secretary.  The  class  picture 
was  also  duly  taken  on  Tuesday.  ^  About  a 
dozen  remained  over  for  the  festivities  on 
Wednesday,  sticking  together  for  a  meet- 
ing in  the  forenoon,  Alumni  Luncheon, 
Mass  Meeting  and  the  ball  game.  The  for- 
mer officers  of  the  class  were  continued, 
and  it  was  voted  to  meet  again  in  1920,  in 
accordance  with  the  Dix  plan. 

Those  who  registered  at  the  Alumni 
Room  were: 

Samuel  W.  Beakes,  '83I,  'r^-'So;  Junius  E. 
Bcal;  W.  C  Bell.  '78-'79;  Wniiam  B.  Cady, 
rSa-'Sa;  Mrs.  Webster  Cook.  '78-*79;  Anna  Kim- 
ball Fletcher,  (Mrs.  G.  H.  Fletcher.) ;  Herbert  A. 
Hodge,  '8sl;  Jacob  E.  Reighard.  m*8s-*86j  Henry

'82/. 


The  following  members  of  the  Class  of 
1882,  in  the  Law  School,  rqjistered  at  head- 
quarters in  Alumni  Memorial  Hall: 

E.  E.  Anneke;  Henry  P.  Barnard;  Chester  G. 
Blaine ;  Judge  Ira  W.  Christian.  '78-'8i ;  Chaun- 
cey  F.  Cook,  '79;  D.  S.  Frackelton;  Ormond  F. 
Hunt.  '81;  Thomas  Young  Kayne:  Laura  W. 
Le Valley.  (Mrs.  D.  W.  Le Valley,);  Mark  Norris. 
*79i   Almon   N.   Taylor,   '78-*8o;   WiU    R.   Wood. 

The  class  had  a  very  enthusiastic  re- 
union in  Room  B,  of  the  Law  Building  on 
June  22,  Reunion  Day.  The  reimion  was 
well  attended,  considering  the  lapse  of 
thirty-three  years.  The  meeting  was  called 
to  order  by  our  class  president.  Judge  David 
S.  Frackelton,  of  Fenton,  Michigan,  and 
in  the  absence  of  Judge  Singleton  Bell,  of 
Clearfield,  Penn.,  secretary,  Judge  Chris- 
tian, of  Noblesville,  Indiana,  reunion  secre- 
tary, performed  that  function.  The  morn- 
ing session  was  taken  up  with  reports, 
greetings,  and  plans  for  the  future.  At 
this  meeting  the  class  approved  the  Dix 
schedule  for  class  reunions  and  began  plan- 
ning at  once  for  1920.  The  class  hopes  to 
accomplish  two  things.  First,  to  have  every 
member  of  the  class  and  his  family  present 
(if  he  is  so  fortunate  as  to  have  a  family, 
— for  children  are  always  the  hostages  of 
fortime).  Second,  if  he  cannot  be  present, 
send  some  member  of  his  family,  together 
with  a  photograph,  and  have  written  on  it 
a  short  sketch  of  his  career  since  gradua- 
tion. The  many  letters  received  by  the  re- 
union secretary  and  read  at  the  reunion  dis- 
closed the  get-there  spirit  of  old  '82,  with 
a  record  of  four  Congressmen,  four  Re- 
gents of  the  University,  twenty  Judges,  ten 
Bankers,  ten  Farmers,  six  Authors,  and 
many  distinguished  lawyers  and  men  of  af- 


fairs ;  none  need  be  ashamed  of  the  Yellow 
and  the  Blue,  much  less,  the  shades  of 
Cooley,  Campbell,  Walker,  Wells  and  Kent. 
At  the  afternoon  meeting  Judge  Ira  W. 
Christian  was  unanimously  elected  presi- 
dent of  the  class  for  five  years,  and  Judge 
Edward  E.  Anneke,  of  Bay  City,  Michigan, 
secretary  and  treasurer.  It  is  the  purpose 
of  the  President  and  Secretary  to  keep  in 
close  touch  with  the  members  of  the  class, 
and  to  follow  up  the  work  of  gathering 
data,  looking  forward  to  a  Class  History 
in  1920,  at  which  time  they  hope  to  have 
the  greatest  reunion  ever.  We  note  that 
from  a  few  old  buildings  and  a  University 
of  limited  influence  in  '82,  the  University  of 
Michigan  has  grown  to  its  present  exalted 
position  as  a  world  power  in  the  field  of 
thought  and  culture.  What  Alexander 
Hamilton  was  to  the  young  Republic,  such 
has  been  James  B.  Angell  to  the  University 
of  Michigan, — its  greatest  constructive 
statesman  and  builder,  its  wise  adminis- 
trator and  its  forward  looking  President, 
whose  gentleness, — for  gentleness  is  and 
has  been  in  all  ages  the  badge  of  true 
nobility,  with  his  kindly  Christian  spirit,  he 
has  not  only  won  and  kept  the  high  esteem 
of  the  old  students,  but  by  the  same  signs 
he  has  endeared  himself  to  the  students  of 
the  present  day.  It  is  fitting  that  a  noble 
son  of  the  University,  Hon.  Harry  B. 
Hutchins,  should  have  been  chosen  to  stand 
by  his  side  at  the  high  tide  of  the  dear  old 
school's  prosperity  and  together  hail  the 
sons  and  daughters  •f  the  Republic  and  of 
the  world,  as  they  come  trooping  in  from 
the  four  quarters  of  the  teeming  earth. 
Ira  W.  Christian, 

Retmion  Secretary. 


'82m. 


Ninety  callow  doctors  burst  their  chry- 
salis in  June  of  1882,  spread  their  wings 
and  flew  towards  the  remote  corners  of  the 
earth. 

Their  hearts  were  staunch,  their  hopes 
were  high,  and  each  felt  ready  to  grapple 
with  any  and  all  the  ills  of  flesh,  sure  of 
vanquishing  everything  but  death  and  not 
so  sure  but  they  could  postpone  that 

Of  that  venturesome  band  of  ninety,  sixty 
remain,  after  a  third  of  a  century,  and  are 
still  fighting  valiantly. 

By  the  end  of  the  year  following  gradu- 
ation, four:  Aubrey,  Averjr,  Sarah  Bald- 
win and  McLain — had  laid  aside  their 
scalpels  and  joined  the  silent  majority. 
Eleven  more  crossed  the  Styx  by  1900: 
Nellie  Bell,  Bucknum,  Christie,  Cole,  Hallo- 
well,  Jordan,  McGorray,  Magee,  Ella  Pat- 
ton,  Juliet  Perkins  and  Clara  Pope.

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[August 


In  the  next  decade  we  lost  ten,  namely: 
Chittock,  De  Spelder,  Forrey,  French,  Alice 
Howes,  Lupinski,  Meek,  Petitt,  Rhea,  and 
Wygant.  Since  then  Bailey,  Myatt  Kyau, 
Power,  Stratton  and  James  N.  Wright  have 
fallen  before  the  grim  reaper. 

Not  all  of  the  sixty  are  in  active  practice. 
Russell  decided,  with  his  first  patient,  that 
he  was  not  born  to  practice  medicine ; 
thought  he  was  in  a  bad  boat  and  decided  to 
get  into  a  good  one.  He  is  now  building 
ships  as  Secretary  of  the  Great  Lakes  Engi- 
neering Company.  Deyoe  writes  that,  after 
a  strenuous  career  on  the  Chicago  Board  of 


Hawaii  telling  me  he  would  have  come  if  I 
had  enclosed  an  aeroplane  with  my  invita- 
tion. 

Cleveland  abandoned  the  practice  for  the 
preaching  of  medicine,  being  engaged  in 
medical  book  publishing  in  Chicago,  where 
he  makes  the  other  publishers  hustle. 

Andrews  has  made  good  his  twenty-eight 
years  in  Fairbury,  Neb.,  and  reports  the 
same  of  Owens  and  Gifford  in  Omaha.  The

streams  of  commerce  flow  peacefully  be- 
fore his  door,  day  and  night,  seen  but  un-

A  strong  centrifugal  force  or  a  great 
wanderlust  must  have  seized  the  class  of 
'82,  for,  besides  being  located  in  twenty 
states,  we  find  Fanny  Andrews  (Mrs.  Fred 
D.  Shepard)  is  in  Aintab,  Turkey.  Pack- 
wood  writes  from  far  away  Bermuda  that 
he  has  succeeded  "beyond  his  merits,"  sends 
his  portrait,  anl  tells  of  De  Liptay  living  in 
Paris,  where  Mrs.  Packwood  saw  him.

ters, college  graduates.  Is  not  that  a  for- 
tune in  itself?  Hosmer  is  a  railroad  sur- 
geon; worked  hard  for  twenty  years,  but 
now  does  chiefly  an  office  practice. 

Osborne  confesses  that  he  cannot  let  go, 
although  he  has  become  wealthy  in  the 
practice  of  medicine  in  New  York  City. 

Tallman  writes  that  the  constant  care  of 
his  little  granddaughter,  whom  he  had 
promised  an  auto  trip  to  Ohio,  prevents  his 
coming. 

Christian's  duties  as  Superintendent  of 
the  Pontiac  State  Asylum  prevented  his 
coming,  and  Emily  Pagelson  Howard  is 
kept  away  by  a  similar  connection  with  the 
Peter     Bent     Brigham     Hospital,     Boston.

ALUMNI  REUNIONS

Scott,  besides  being  director  of  a  branch 
of  the  National  Florence  Crittenden  Home, 
is  a  director  and  chairman  of  the  enter- 
tainment committee  of  the  Los  Angeles 
Chamber  of  Commerce,  and  in  this  year  of 
expositions  is  surely  a  busy  man. 

Paul  Jensen,  whose  friendly  handshake  is 
so  well  remembered,  after  making  a  for- 
tune for  the  Stock  Yards  people  by  show- 
ing them  how  to  make  fertilizer  out  of  the 
wasted  blood,  for  which  he  never  received 
recognition,  is  now  practicing  at  Manistee, 
Mich.,  where  he  has  made  good  a  second 
time.  McKee's  stationery  says:  "Presi- 
dent Citizens'  National  Bank,  Caldwell, 
Ohio." 

Of  the  forty-five  who  replied  to  the  invi- 
tation to  the  reunion,  fourteen  promised  to 
come  if  possible,  and  seven  actually  arrived. 

Charles  H.  Rodi,  Calumet;  Flora  Hub- 
bard Ruch,  Lansing;  Samuel  Zimmerman, 
Wayne;  Oliver  H.  Lau,  Detroit;  W.  M. 
Weller,  Ithaca;  A.  D.  Bangham,  Albion, 
and  Chas.  H.  Baker,  Bay  City,  assembled 
in  Dr.  Vaughan's  laboratory,  together  with 
half  a  dozen  of  the  '83  class.  After  a  gen- 
eral handshaking,  the  letters  and  cards  re- 
ceived from  the  absent  m>embers  were 
read  and  their  faces  recalled  by  the  aid  of 
the  old  class  picture  brought  by  one  of  the 
members,  together  with  the  portraits,  down 
to  date,  sent  by  Lemon,  Finnegan,  Deyoe, 
Hughes,  Jensen,  Cleveland,  Packwood  and 
Scott. 

Together  with  some  of  the  '83  members, 
we  gathered  for  a  noon  dinner  at  the  Mich- 
igan Union,  where  we  compared  notes, 
swapped  stories,  had  our  pictures  taken 
and  had  a  general  good  time,  marred  only 
by  regrets  that  so  many  were  kept  away. 

I  cannot  better  close  this  report  than  by 
•quoting  W.  E.  Young,  Three  Forks,  Mont, 
who  says : 

"My  clip  of  the  Golden  Fleece  has  not 
been  so  heavy  as  a  great  many,  but  still  not 
too  meagre,  and  I  have  also  fotmd  that 
there  are  other  things  which  give  a  richer 
zest  to  life  than  the  pursuit  of  that  elusive 
article.  Here's  to  the  memories  of  '82,  and 
I  trust  that  when  the  mavericks  of  the 
class  have  all  been  herded  in  the  "Great 
Corral"  that  each  and  everyone  will  be 
found  to  wear  the  brand  that  will  give 
them  the  right  to  forever  graze  in  pastures 
jgretn."

Reunion  Secretary.

with  a  big  dinner  on  Tuesday  noon.  Judge 
Henry  N.  Mandell,  of  Detroit,  said  he 
should  never  miss  a  reunion  of  old  '83  as 
long  as  he  lived,  if  we  were  to  have  such 
big  dinners.  After  dinner  the  class  went 
to  Ferry  Field  as  the  guests  of  Judge  Man- 
dell, and  cheered  the  U.  of  M.  ball  team 
to  a  victory  over  Pennsy.  In  the  evening 
Judge  Mandell  drove  a  number  of  the  boys 
to  Detroit  in  his  seven  passenger  Packard. 

Hon.  Charles  T.  Wilkins  said  that  he 
never  would  be  absent,  in  the  future,  on 
Reunion  Day.  All  the  '83  boys  who  were 
not  there  surely  missed  a  good  time. 

Many  letters  and  telegrams  were  read  to 
the  members  present  by  the  secretary,  and 
were  most  thoroughly  enjoyed.  We  hope 
to  publish  a  little  later  some  of  the  inter- 
esting sayings  from  these  letters. 

Those  registered  in  the  Alumni  Head- 
quarters were: 

Frederick  W.  Arbury ;  Edwin  N.  Brown, 
A.M.'84,  '87I,  Ph.D.  'oa;  Louis  P.  Hall,  'Spd, 
'79-'8o;  Came  P.  Hudnutt.  (Mrs.  J.  O.  Hud- 
nutt) ;  Henry  A.  Mandell ;  Katharine  F.  Reig- 
hard,  (Mrs.  J.  E.  Reighard)  'rp-'So,  '8i-*8a; 
Homer  E.  Tinsman;  Charles  T.  Wilkins;  John  T. 
Winship. 

F.  W.  Arbury,  Secretary. 


;83m. 


Those  of  the  '83's  who  were  in  Ann  Ar- 
1)or  for  the  reunion  had  a  big  day  Tues- 
day, June  22.  Hon.  John  T.  Winship,  of 
Lamsing,  the  president  of  the  class,  enter- 
tained all  the  members  we  could  round  up 


The  medical  class  of  '83,  numbering 
originally  one  hundred  and  seventy-two 
members,  succeeded  in  registering  eleven 
for  a  reunion  this  June,  namely: 

B.  Clyne;  Cora  P.  Ganung,  (Mrs.  S.  F.  Can- 
ung) ;  M.  C.  Greene ;  Tames  H.  Hudson ;  Collins 
H.  Johnston,  *8i ;  W.  C.  Marsh;  Delos  L.  Parker, 
*8i;  A.  H.  Rockwell;  T.  Scldon  Stewart;  J.  D. 
Walthall;  W.  E.  Ward. 

Every  minute  of  time  was  improved  by 
them  in  hearty  visiting  with  each  other, 
relating  experiences,  and  successes,  and 
also  in  visiting  the  hospitals  and  other 
places  dear  to  their  memories.  A  bountiful 
class  dinner  was  enjoyed  at  the  Michigan 
Union  on  Tuesday  evening. 

It  is  known  that  thirty-eight  of  our 
original  number  have  passed  away,  and 
possibly  there  are  others  from  whom  it  is 
impossible  to  get  any  word. 

It  is  understood  that  the  next  reunion 
will  occur  in  the  regular  order  of  the  Dix 
plan  in  1924. 

T.  S.  Stewart, 

Reunion  Secretary. 

'90. 
The  class  of  '90,  lit  and  engineering, 
celebrated  its  twentieth  reunion  with  a 
class  dinner  at  the  Michigan  Union  on 
Tuesday  evening,  June  22.  Forty- three  sat 
down  to  the  table;  out  of  this  number 
twenty-eight  were  bona  fide  *90*s.  Presi-

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[Angusi 


be  toastmaster,  and  he,  with  his  usual  wit, 
kept  the  fun  going  until  a  late  hour.  When 
"Lute"  Lorrey  was  called  on  for  a  speech, 
it  became  evident  immediately  that  he  had 
been  making  a  careful  study  of  the  '90 
class  list,  and  he  it  was  that  reminded  us 
that  the  quiet,  modest  class  of  '90  counts  in 
its  ranks  today  fifteen  or  more  members 
who  are  on  college  faculties,  either  as  deans 
or  professors,  and  that  there  are  scores  of 
others  who  are  making  names  for  them- 
selves in  the  other  professions  or  in  the 
business  world.  In  fact,  a  whole  number 
of  The  Alumnus  might  be  devoted  to  '90 
and  her  achievements,  with  profit. 

While  '90  was  perhaps  not  as  conspicuous 
by  her  noise  as  some  other  classes,  still  the 
good  old  "Wah  hoo  wah !"  could  be  heard 
frequently  above  the  din  during  the  Alumni 
Luncheon;  and  at  the  Mass  Meeting  '90 
contributed  a  "Ringer"  for  Regent  and 
"Jim"  Duffy  and  his  punch  set  as  her  quota 
towards  the  fun. 

It  was  decided  to  meet  again  in  1918,  in 
accordance  with  the  Dix  plan.  Fred  L. 
Smith,  of  Detroit,  was  elected  president 
and  Lucius  E.  Torrey,  of  Chicago,  secre- 
tary. 

The  following  letter  of  regret  from  Fred 
Smith  voices  not  only  his  own  sentiment 
but  also  the  sentiment  of  all  those  who 
were  not  able  to  come: 

I've  counted  up  the  calendar 
Until  my  face  was  blue, 
To  find  a  date  in  sunny  June 
That  wasn't  twenty-two. 

I've  counted  so  on  being  there 
That  all  things  else  seemed  small. 
The  twenty-second  day  of  June 
Now  seems  no  date  at  all. 

Plague  on  a  pesl^r  business  world 
That  proves  itself  a  Beast  I 
When  all  my  hopes  are  in  the  West* 
It  yanks  me  off  down  East 

I  just  have  spirit  left  to  say, 
I  love  you  just  the  same. 
But  Gosh  I    1  want  to  be  there, 
When  'po's  in  the  Game. 

You'll  not  miss  me  enormously. 
Not  as  I  shall  miss' you  all, 
And  yet,  I  give  you  this,  my  toast. 
Our   Class,— the   Best— that's  all.

'90m. 

The  twenty-fifth  anniversary  of  Class 
'90m  was  celebraited  with  much  enthusiasm 
during  Commencement  Week.  The  mem- 
bers of  the  class  registered  Tuesday  and 
Wednesday  at  Alumni  Memorial  Hall  and 
at  the  headquarters  in  the  Medical  Build- 
ing. Twenty-six  of  the  eighty-nine  gradu- 
ates in  this  class,  besides  Dr.  Skeel, — who 
received  the  degree  of  ft  .A.,  though  he  did 
not  meet  the  class, — renewed  old  friend- 
ships and  visited  old  scenes.  The  master's 
degree  was  also  conferred  upon  Dr.  Fischer 
and  with  two  of  its  members  thus  highly 
honored  by  the  University,  the  class  all  felt 
a  reflected  glory. 

Attendance  at  the  entertainment  in  Hill 
Auditorium  on  Tuesday  evening  brought 
back  old  scenes  and  experiences  of  student 
life,  while  participation  in  the  mass  meet- 
ing, furnishing  two  of  the  "Regents"  for 
the  occasion,  and  following  in  the  grand 
parade  to  Ferry  Field,  did  effect  a  renewal 
of  youth,  in  spite  of  the  snowy  locks  of 
some  members. 

A  luncheon  at  noon  Wednesday  and 
dinner  at  6  :oo  at  the  Michigan  Union  were 
the  social  festivities,  at  the  latter  of  which 
41  were  present,  ten  of  the  class  beii^ 
accompanied  by  other  members  of  their 
families. 

The  business  and  social  session  was  held 
in  the  evening,  and  at  roll-call  all  present 
responded  with  epitomized  experiences, 
reminiscences,  or  hopes  and  prospects  for 
the  future.  Greetings  were  read  from  many 
tmable  to  be  present,  but  expressing  good 
will;  two  detained  by  illness  sent  messages 
of  cheerfulness. 

This  class  has  been  very  faithful  id 
observance  of  quinquennial  reunions,  and 
is  carrying  on  the  work  of  raising  a  Me- 
morial Loan  Fund  for  the  benefit  of  medi- 
cal students,  under  certain  conditions.  This 
fund  was  instituted  at  the  previous  meet- 
ing and  an  instalment  is  in  the  hands  of 
the  Regents.  It  was  decided  to  increase 
this  amount,  and  subscriptions  were  made 
which  will  make  possible  a  considerable 
addition  by  our  next  gathering,  or  before. 

A  pleasant  feature  of  the  occasion  was 
the  presentation  to  the  secretary  of  a  hand- 
some silver  loving-cup,  by  Dr.  Hagler,  in 
bebalf  of  the  class,  as  a  slight  token  of 
their  regard ;  "filled  to  the  brim  with  affec- 
tion and  appreciation  of  her  efforts  in  pre- 
paring these  reunions,  and  in  countless  lit-

tie  things  she  had  done  for  them."  With 
the  pressing  of  the  cup  each  renewed  al- 
legiance to  Alma  Mater,  and  to  Class  '90. 
Dr.  Marker  was  called  upon  to  give  a 
humorous  history  of  the  former  gathering, 
— a  task  that  had  then  been  assigned  him, 
hut  he  said  he  needed  "more  time."  He 
was  therefore  given  "thirty  days,"  but  a 
classmate  came  to  his  relief  with  a  rhyming 
record  of  the  reunion,  contributing  a  little 
-mirth,  and  Marker  was  let  off  witib  a  solo, 
after  which  he  responded  to  an  encore. 

The  officers  were  re-elected:  President, 
Dr.  L.  C.  Bacon,  St.  Paul,  Minn.;  Vice- 
President,  G.  M.  Hull,  Ypsilanti;  Secre- 
tary-Treasurer, Delia  P.  Pierce,  Kalama- 
zoo; Assistant  Secretary,  J.  J.  Marker, 
Eloise. 

Dr.  Bacon  gave  brief  obituary  notices  of 
Ihe  fourteen  deceased  of  the  class: 

David  Henry  Miller  (d.  1892)  Lacey,  Mich.; 
Wm.  Sherman  Taylor  (d.  1893)  Detroit;  Geo. 
•Clifton  Gay  (d.  1895)  Waterbury,  Conn.;  Emmett 
Austin  Hall  (d.  1896)  Indianapolis,  Ind. ;  Wm. 
Evart  Visscher  (d.  1899)  Altona.  Mich.;  Ernest 
Jerome  Whitehead  (d.  1901)  Columbiana,  Ohio; 
John  Aclcley  Boylan  (d.  190a)  Ann  Arbor; 
Elmer  Arpad  Del^ipesey  (d.  1902)  Houston, 
Texas;  Minnie  Agnes  Howard  (Mrs.  Wm.  ElHot, 
<i.  190^)  Holly  Springs,  Miss. ;  Francis  Malcolm 
Phillips  (d.  1902)  Kildare,  Okla. ;  Milo  Jason 
Bradley  (d.  1903)  Toledo,  Ohio;  Geo.  Clinton 
-Crandall  (d.  1912)  St.  Louis,  Mo.;  Clarence  B. 
Wilson  (d.  1913)  Bradford,  Vt;  John  Gould 
(exact  date  and  particulars  unobtainable)  Denver, 
-Colo. 

The  secretary  was  instructed  to  convey 
the  sympathy  of  the  class  to  the  members 
suffering  from  illness,  and  suitable  resolu- 
tions for  the  deceased  were  adopted. 

A  motion  prevailed  that  Hull  get  busy  on 
a  class  "yeir ;  that  he  prepare  one  and  drill 
available  members  before  the  next  meeting, 
five  years  from  now. 

Adjournment  took  place  after  singing 
-'Auld  Lang  Syne." 

Those  present  were: 

L.  C.  Bacon;  Merritt  G.  Bassett;  George 
Bates;  J.  E.  Bennett;  Delia  L.  Chapin;  R.  C. 
Fair;  Arthur  F.  Fischer,  A.M.  (hon.)  '15;  W.  C.

'90/. 

The  third  reunion  of  the  law  class  of 
''qo  was  a  success  if  measured  by  a  standard 
other  than  that  of  numbers.  Cohesion  and 
enthusiasm  never  having  been  a  marked 
characteristic  of  the  class,  a  scant  dozen 
In  attendance  was  as  many  as  could  be 
expected. 

Several  members  had  not  been  in  Ann 
j\rbor  since  their  graduation  and  were  sur- 


prised and  pleased  at  the  strides  of  advance- 
ment in  all  lines  in  the  University  and  City. 

At  the  first  meeting  the  large  class  pic- 
ture was  located  and  taken  to  our  head- 
quarters for  closer  inspection.  With  most 
of  us  Time  has  been  merciful  and  our  locks 
are  but  little  grayer. 

Tuesday  evening  was  thoroughly  enjoyed 
at  the  beautiful  Hill  Auditorium  and  Wed- 
nesday was  one  glorious  day  of  rejoicing 
and  rejuvenation.  A  class  picture  was 
taken  of  the  few  who  could  be  marshalled 
at  the  time,  but  the  chief  pleasure  of  the 
entire  stay  was  the  entertainment  in  the 
afternoon  at  the  Hill  Auditorium  in  charge 
of  one  of  the  members  of  our  class,  David 
E.  Heineman. 

Three  members  of  the  class  brought  their 
wives,  and  one,  the  Attorney  General  of 
Arizona,  came  from  Bisbee  to  attend.  One 
was  represented  by  his  son,  now  a  student 
in  the  Law  School. 

Aside  from  the  pleasure  to  us  individu- 
ally of  the  visit  and  short  vacation,  there 
was  the  benefit  of  strengthening  our  ideals 
and  reaffirming  our  loyalty  to  our  Alma 
Mater. 

Those  present  were: 

John  W.  Anderson;  Albert  A.  Dorn^  LL.M.  '91, 
and  wife;  Everett  E.  EUinwood;  David  E.  Heine- 
man,  '87,  r88-'89,  A.M.  (hon.)  *ia;  Mortimer  L. 
Hudson ;  Charles  Hutchinson,  '81,  Ph.M.  '83,  and 
wife;  George  A.  Katzenberger ;  William  R. 
Rummler,  and  wife;  James  Swan;  O.  C  Volk- 
mor;  Fred  C.  Wetmore;  Philip  Wilkinson.

Secretary. 


'99. 


June  22  and  23  were  glorious  days  for 
the  clan  of  '99.  About  fifty  of  the  boys  and 
girls  turned  up  for  the  reunion,  which  is 
a  most  excellent  representation  when  we 
remember  the  years  that  have  passed  since 
graduating  days.  And  those  fifty  were 
filled  with  a  "pep"  which  caused  our  many 
activities  and  entertainments  to  be  most 
successful.  In  comparison  with  the  other 
classes  of  our  day,  which  too,  were  holding 
reunions,  '99  again  showed  her  marked  su- 
periority. But  why  boast?  Let  us  raither 
be  magnanimous  as  we  realize  that  only 
once  in  a  decade  or  so  is  a  class  so  fortu- 
nate as  to  possess  the  scintillating  stars 
such  as  compose  old  '99.  Draw  the  veil 
over  the  attempts  of  '00,  etc.,  at  a  reunioa. 
They  did  their  best.  And  we  all  know 
anyway  that  comparisons  are  odious. 

To  begin,  we  had  headquarters  for  the 
men.  Through  the  efiForts  of  Billy  Com- 
stock  the  house  at  512  S.  State  ^rect 
was  turned  over  to  us,  lock,  stock  and  bar- 
rel. There  were  sleeping  accommodations 
for  30  of  the  fellows,  but  aside  from 
"Kick^'  Carmody,  nobody  seemed  to  sleep.

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[August 


By  having  a  house  the  fellows  were  kept 
together  d^y  and  night — guxent  on  the  night 
— and  the  reunion  spirit  was  greatly  aug- 
mented. No  other  dass  has  had  the  orig- 
inally to  get  a  house  for  headquarters — ^it 
remained  for  '99  as  usual  to  lead  the  parade. 
But  why  boast— see  remarks  in  first  para- 
graph anent  modesty,  etc. 

During  the  morning  of  June  22  the  mem- 
bers dropped  into  town,  registered  at 
alumni  headquarters,  and  got  ready  for  the 
big  doings.  Our  class  business  meeting 
was  at  I  :oo  P.  M.,  where  we  elected  the 
following  officers:  President,  Billy  Com- 
rtock;  Vice-President,  Bert  Adams;  Secre- 
tary and  Treasurer,  Joe  Bursley;  Assistant 
Secretary  and  Treasurer,  Hal  Seeley.  We 
voted  to  follow  the  Dix  schedule  of  re- 
unions which  will  bring  us  to  Ann  Arbor 
five  years  hence.  A  committee  was  named 
to  suggest  to  the  class  some  suitable  me- 
morial from  '99  to  the  University. 

Then  with  our  little  German  band  at  our 
head  we  marched  to  the  Michigan- Pennsyl- 
vania ball  game,  but  the  big  event  came 
later.  This  was  a  soft  ball  game  with  '00. 
Just  how  '00  managed  to  raise  a  team  is 
a  mystery,  but  they  did  it.  They  met  the 
same  fate  as  in  college  days.  Defeat  was 
their  portion.  The  magnificent  twirling  of 
Cuthbcrt  Clark  Adams  set  them  down, 
man  after  man,  until  their  pitiful  cries  for 
mercy  touched  his  heart  and  he  permitted 
them  to  score  a  few  runs,  the  final  score 
being  7  to  5.  Charley  Riegelman  played 
second  with  his  usual  insouciance,  while 
Hal  Seeley  on  first  was  superb.  It  is  true 
that  a  pained  expression  adorned  his  classic 
features  when  a  foul  fly  trickled  through 
his  fingers,  but  not  a  word  escaped  him, 
thus  proving  his  marvelous  will-power.  Al 
Keith,  in  the  outer  garden,  beamed  benign- 
antly  upon  the  scene  and  fortunately  had 
no  flies  to  chase.  Hugh  White  made  a  shoe- 
string pick-up.  He  should  not  have  seemed 
so  surprised.  Of  '00  little  need  be  said 
except  that  the  sympathy  of  '99  went  out 
to  Captain  Sedgewick.    The  line-up:

After  the  game  a  joint  supper  with  '00 
was  given  at  the  Ann  Arbor  Golf  Club. 
Thrown  in  that  way  with  '99  a  certain 
measure  of  hilarity  prevailed  among  our 
'00  friends  and  after  repeated  urgings  they 
ventured  to  give  their  class  yell.  Many 
were  the  congratulations  they  received. 
After  a  number  of  songs,  speeches,  etc.,  the 


meeting  broke  up  and  most  of  the  boys  re- 
turned to  headquaiters  to  chin  until  the 
wee  sma'  hours. 

The  next  day  was  a  busy  one.  First,  with 
our  band,  we  paraded  the  Campus  and  then, 
grouped  around  our  memorial  cannon,  a 
photographer  got  in  his  deadly  work.  From 
there  we  paraded  to  the  Alumni  Luncheon 
at  Barbour  G3rm  and  after  the  eats  were 
over,  entertained  those  present  with  an  ex- 
hibition of  ground  and  lofty  marching,  in 
all  of  which  we  were  most  nobly  assisted 
by  our  good  friends,  1913.  The  Alunmi 
Mass  Meeting  at  Hill  Auditorium  followed, 
after  which  the  alumni  marched  to  Ferry 
Field  for  Michigan-Pennsylvania  ball  game 
Number  two. 

No  class  made  a  better  showing  in  the 
parade.  Every  '99  marcher  was  in  costume 
and  our  German  band  worked  overtime. 
At  the  field  we  combined  with  1913  and 
received  much  applause  from  the  crowded 
grand  stands. 

The  class  banquet  at  the  Michigan  Union 
closed  the  reunion  program.  Carmody  was 
toastmaster  and  not  a  moment  dragged.  In 
fact  there  was  so  much  happening  that 
Bert  Adams  swore  afterward  that  he  had 
nothing  to  eat  after  the  soup.  The  speeches 
were  few  and  brief  and  the  time  was  spent 
chiefly  in  singing,  dancing  and  marching  en 
masse  to  visit  the  other  class  banquets.  Pos- 
sibly no  other  class  banquet  ever  held  in 
the  Union  has  been  so  free  from  formality 
and  so  thoroughly  enjoyed  by  everyone. 

Another  successful  reunion  has  passed. 
So  successful  in  fact  that  a  movement  is 
on  foot  for  '99  to  get  together  in  191 7  with 
our  friends  of  1913,  who  return  then.  This 
class  of  1913  resembles  our  own  class  in 
the  spirit  and  loyalty  shown,  and  during 
our  reunion  they  used  every  efiFort  in  their 
power  to  aid  and  assist  us  in  having  a  good 
time.  To  quote  one  '13  man:  "It  didn't 
take  us  long  to  realize  that  the  second 
liveliest  class  at  the  reunion  was  '99,  and 
naturally  we  wanted  to  stick  with  them." 

General  Chairman  Bert  Adams  worked 
unceasingly  for  months  and  was  ably  sec- 
onded by  Billy  Comstock  and  Phil  Bar- 
telme.  As  a  result  the  arrangements  were 
perfect  and  not  a  hitch  occurred  in  the  pro- 
gram. Several  of  the  boys  came  from  long 
distances— Al  Keith  from  Oklahoma,  and 
Hugh  White  and  Charley  Riegelman  from 
New  York  City.  Quite  a  number  of  the 
girls  turned  out — who  said  that  we  gradu- 
ated 16  years  ago?  They  showed  the  same 
zeal  in  the  reunion  doings  as  did  the  boys. 
Old  Father  Time  has  had  the  worst  of  the 
fight  thus  far  and  the  outlook  for  him  is 
extremely  gloomy. 

The  Dix  plan  brought  us  back  with  '00, 
'01  and  '02  and  gave  us  a  chance  to  see

[August 


many  old  friends  from  those  classes,  and 
it  was  the  opinion  of  '99  that  the  Dix 
scheme  is  the  right  one  to  follow.  In  1920 
this  will  bring  us  back  with  'g6,  '97  and  '98. 
The  foregoing  is  a  very  brief  chronicle 
of  our  activities  during  the  reunion.  For 
a  full  and  detailed  account  it  will  be  neces- 
sary to  interview  some  one  of  the  memibers 
present  as  shown  by  the  list  given  below.

The  Class  of  1900  in  the  Literary  and 
Engineering  Colleges  held  this  year  its  first 
reunion  under  the  Dix  plan,  which  broujght 
back  1899  as  well.  The  classes  availed 
themselves  of  the  opportunity  to  imite  in 
two  events;  a  baseball  game,  which  was 
much  enjoyed  by  players  and  spectators 
alike,  and  resulted  in  a  7-5  victory  for  1899, 
and  a  supper  at  the  Golf  Club,  participated 
in  by  53  from  the  two  classes.  The  supper 
was  followed  by  a  song- f est  and  experience 
meeting.     Comstock,  of  '99,  presided  and

which  it  was  passed  unanimously  that  he

'OL 

We  had  a  reunion  I  Not  so  large  in 
point  of  attendance  as  four  years  ago^ 
there  being  about  30  registered  with  us,  but 
large  in  the  amount  of  good  comradeship 
developed.  There  was  open  house  held  at 
headquarters  in  Tappan  Hall  where  at  all 
hours  classmates  dropped  in  to  welcome 
the  later  arrivals;  be  decorated  with  the 
class  cap  and  badge;  point  out  each  others'" 
pictures  in  the  1901  Michiganensian  with 
laughter  at  the  changes;  or  swap  stories- 
of  the  old  days  and  the  present. 

Tuesday  morning  came  the  class  automo- 
bile ride  in  cars  of  resident  members.  It 
is  rumored  that  the  passing  years  have  so 
added  in  weight  of  dignity  (or  of  avoirdu- 
pois) to  certain  members  that  one  auto 
broke  a  spring.  But  no  doubt  this  is 
calumny.  A  few  survived  the  ride  to  have 
lunch  together,  and  the  ball  game  took  care 
of  the  afternoon.  In  the  evening  those 
who  could  be  separated  from  the  attrac- 
tions of  the  Senior  Promenade  attended  the 
entertainment  in  Hill  Auditorium  together. 

Wednesday  was  an  all-round  joy.  In 
the  morning  the  class  picture  was  taken, 
then,  with  our  banner  leading,  we  marched 
to  Barbour  Gym  for  the  Alumni  Luncheon. 
At  the  Mass  Meeting  in  the  Auditorium  we 
distinguished  ourselves  no  less  for  having  a 
representative  of  the  class  elected  to  the 
"Honorable  Board  of  Road  Agents,"  than 
for  the  peculiarly  ear-splitting  timbre  of  the 
noise  with  which  1901  made  its  presence 
felt  Messrs.  Hibbard  and  Talbot,  having 
personally  tested  each  horn  before  purchase^ 
vouched  for  their  correctness  of  pitch. 
These  -same  horns  were  not  unnoticed  in 
the  parade  to  Ferry  Field,  nor  later,  as 
they  aided  Michigan  to  victory.  In  the 
evening  the  class  supper  was  held  at  Mack's. 
And  what  a  supper!  A  long  table  lovely 
with  flowers;  good  food  and  good  talk, 
with  a  symposium  at  the  end  of  seriousness 
and  fun  happily  mingled.  Between  courses 
the  class  elected  Professor  Lewis  M.  Gram 
as  secretary  and  treasurer,  and  Mrs.  Edson 
R^  Sunderland  as  secretary  for  women,  and 
gave  a  vote  of  thanks  to  the  retiring  secre- 
taries. A  toast  was  drunk  to  the  absent 
ones  whose  loyalty  in  paying  the  class  tax, 
though  not  able  to  be  present,  had  helped 
to  make  the  reunion  a  success,  and  a  silver 
vase  was  presented  on  behalf  of  the  class 
to  Ruth  Baird,  daughter  of  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Charles  Baird,  (Georgia  Robertson),  who, 
as  the  result  of  diligent  search,  was  pro- 
nounced 1901  Class  Baby. 

And  then — ^well,  then  the  third  reunion 
of  our  class  was  over.  Many  of  you  missed 
a  perfectly  good  time,  and  as  such  times 
come  all  too  rarely,  see  that  you  are  here 
to  laugh  with  us  next  time.    As  for  those

Eighteen  members  of  the  medical  class  of 
*oi  were  present  at  the  reunion  June  22  and 
23  in  Ann  Arbor.  The  class  held  two  meet- 
ings, one  at  luncheon  Tuesday  noon  at  Joe 
Parker's,  and  one  at  dinner  at  the  same 
place.  In  the  afternoon  some  of  the  class 
attended  the  clinic  given  by  our  classmate. 
Dr.  I.  Dean  Loree,  while  others  went  out 
to  the  ball  game  at  Ferry  Field.     At  the

Thirty-nine  mem-bers  of  the  class  re- 
turned for  the  '02  lit  reunion,  held  on 
Wednesday,  June  23,  and,  according  to  all 
reports,  everyone  had  a  good  time.  After 
a  business  meeting  at  11  :oo  A.  M.,  at  which 
Fred  G.  Dewey,  of  Detroit,  was  elected 
permanent  president,  the  class,  attired  in 
distinctive  white  middle  suits,  took  in  the 
various  events  of  the  day  in  a  body,  at- 
tending the  Alumni  Luncheon,  the  Mass 
Meeting  in  Hill  Auditorium,  and  marching 
in  the  parade  to  the  ball  game  with  Penn- 
sylvania. Enough  automobiles  had  also 
been  provided  to  take  the  class  to  see  the 
sights  of  Ann  Arbor.  After  the  game,  a 
class  supper  was  held  at  the  Union,  which 
was  followed  by  a  smoker  at  the  Hotel 
Whitney.

Only  two  or  three  members  of  the  dental 
dass  of  'q2  were  together  at  any  one  time, 
and  no  special  meetings  were  held.  We 
are  hoping  to  be  more  successful  in  1919,

ing to  the  Dix  plan.

In  reunion  spirit,  old  friendships  renew- 
ed, noise  made  and  good  times  had,  the 
Decennial  Reunion  of  the  Class  of  1905 
was  voted  a  ''howling^  success.  Its  official 
activities  began  on  Tuesday.  In  the  day- 
time they  consisted  largely  of  registration 
at  Memorial  Hall  and  Class  Headquarters 
and  then  hunting  around  town  to  discover 
old  faces,  and  after  having  found  them 
visiting  in  divers  and  sundry  groups  at 
long  to  be  remembered  spots  and  places. 

'Counting  relatives  by  marriage,  there 
were  43  present  at  the  Class  Reunion  Ban- 
quet Tuesday  evening.  '05  was  fortunate 
enough  to  be  seated  at  one  end  of  the  main 
dining  room,  at  the  Union,  in  a  most  ad- 
vantageous position  to  out-sing  and  out-yell 
the  other  classes  that  were  banqueting  in 
the  same  room.  After  the  repast  a  rfiort 
business  meeting  was  called  to  order  t>y 


President  Armstrong  and  the  Dix  plan  for 
class  reunions  was  officially  adopted^  at  least 
on  trial;  this  will  bring  our  next  reunion 
in  1919,  when  the  classes  of  '03^  ''04  and 
'06  will  also  be  on  hand.  Carl  Pahy,  act- 
ing as  toastmaster,  introduced  "Doc"  Jayne 
and  'Mary  Famsworth,  both  of  whom  gave 
very  happy  short  talks.  The  address  of  the 
evening  was  made  by  Dr.  Wenl^y,  than 
whom  no  man  on  the  Faculty  has  ever  had 
the  interests  of  1905  closer  at  heart  He 
was  kind  enough  to  say  that  '05  wajs  one  of 
the  two  best  classes  that  he  had  known 
at  the  University;  also  that  tiic  raw 
material  the  University  now  gets  is  not  so 
good  as  it  was  in  our  time,  nor  does  it  de- 
vote itself  so  diligently  to  the  mastery  of 
liberal  studies.  Wasn't  that  rather  hand- 
some of  him?  Of  course  the  University, 
now  more  splendidly  equipped  by  half  than 
it  was  ten  years  ago,  is  beginning  to  see 
what  it  must  do  to  cope  with  the  situation. 
After  the  banquet  most  of  the  -4lass  at- 
tended the  student  entertainment,  an  excel- 
lent vaudeville  performance  given  by  the 
undergraduates  at  Hill  Auditorium,  and  it 
is  said  that  thereafter  some  members  of 
the  class  were  seen  at  the  Graduate  Club. 
On  Wednesday  the  big  noise  began.  The 
class  met  in  front  of  Tappan  Hall  about 
10:30,  all  dressed  in  white  with  ptirple  hat 
bands  and  yellow-and-bluc  '05  aniji  bands. 
The  secretary  then  furnished  the  armament 
for  the  fray,  consisting  *  of  cow  bells  as 
small  arms  and  a  battery  of  fife-anid-drums 
as  artillery.  The  noise  of  heavy  firing  con- 
tinued intermittently  throughout  the  day. 
The  class  marched  through  academiic  shades 
and  cloistered  places,  creating  uprqar,  until 
11:45,  when  Lyndon  took  their  p^ture  in 
front  of  Hill  Auditorium,  and  tiien  'filed 
into  Barbour  Gym  for  the  luncheon  given 
to  the  visiting  alumni  by  the  University. 
It  was  an  inspiring  sight  to  see  the  thou- 
sand alumni  gathered  at  this  luncheon,  and 
an  inspiring  sound  to  hear  the  classes 
vying  with  each  otiter  in  yells  and  songs. 
After  luncheon  the  class  paraded  noisily  to 
and  through  Hill  Auditorium,  for  the 
Alumni  Mass  Meeting,  vtrhert  *CS  had  its 
assigned  place  in  the  center  of  the  hall, 
valiantly  defended  by  the  cow  Wis  and 
drums.  The  meeting  proceeded  to  appro- 
priate the  University  for  tht  day,  to  dub 
it  the  University  of  the  Alumni,  to  elect  a 
board  of  regents  to  run  it,  and  to  hold  a 
model  commencement  To  Ais  program 
tiie  Class  of  1905  contributed  Dignity  and 
Order.  We  elected  "Red"  Kendrick  to 
officiate  on  the  stage  as  Master  of  Cere- 
monies, a  function  which  he  performed 
with  beauty  and  elegance,  dight  in  a  vivid 
orange-colored  cap  and  gown  and  armed 
with  a  big  bass  drum.

The  class  then  took  its  place  in  the 
alumni  parade  to  Ferry  Field  to  see  Penn- 
sylvania scalped.  The  band  having  be- 
come partially  disabled  "Jack"  Stover  vol- 
unteered to  pound  one  of  the  drums,  which 
he  did  very  successfully,  at  least  from  the 
point  of  viiw  of  the  volume  of  sound — ^and 
after  all  what  else  is  a  bass  drum  for? 
*^Dog*'  Hunt  also  lent  assistance  in  this 
direction,  with  a  tin  life. 

After  the  game  the  women  of  the  class 
had  a  jolly  supper  at  "The  Little  Shop," 
followed  by  a  very  enjoyable  reception  at 
the  home  of  Miss  George.  The  men  had  a 
beefsteak  dinner  at  "Joe's,"  which  proved 
to  be  one  of  the  big  events  of  the  reunion. 
There  were  solos  by  "Baldy"  Armstrong, 
duets  by  *'Kid"  Campbell  and  "Dog"  Hunt, 
and  a  great  deal  of  close  harmony  by  the 
whole  crowd.  My  I  How  *05  can  sing ! 
A  mere  recital  of  the  events  of  the  big 
reunion  can  convey  no  adequate  idea  of 
the  high  spirit  of  fellowship  and  fraternity 
that  pervaded  everything.  No  one  felt  out 
of  place;  no  one  was  uncomfortable.  Every- 
one recognized  and  called  everyone  else 
by  the  first  name,  and,  most  wonderful  of 
ail.  we  found  that  none  of  us  had  grown 
a  iit  older ;  the  undergraduates  had  merely 
grown  younger.  "Bill"  McNally,  however, 
had  grown  fat,  and  "Dad"  Gundry  had 
grown  thin!  A  few  children,  of  about  the 
Class  of  1925  or  1930  were  present,  but  no 
grandchildren. 

It  was  wholly  good  to  see  Dr.  Angell 
again,  and  to  see  the  touching  tribute  paid 
to  him  by  the  alumni  at  the  Mass  <Meeting. 
The  "Board  of  Regents,"  just  elected  by 
the  alumni  for  the  day  and  occasion,  as 
a  fitting  climax  to  the  activities  of  Alumni 
Day,  conferred  on  the  President  Emeritus 
the  degree  of  A.B.,  "Altogether  Beloved," 
and  when  the  grand  old  man  stood  up  to 
accept  his  tribute  there  was  not  a  dry  eye 
in  the  house. 

*05  officers  for  the  next  term  were  chosen 
as  follows:  President,  Ira  W.  Jayne;  Sec- 
retary for  iMen,  Louis  Quarles;  Secretary 
for  Women,  Mary  Farnsworth. 

The  following  members  of  the  class  were

'05/. 


The  second  reunion  of  the  law  class  of 
1905  was  celebrated  June  22  and  23.  On 
the  22nd  the  members  of  the  class  met  at 
the  American  House  to  partake  of  a  boun- 
tiful banquet  furnished  by  Al.  Staebler. 
The  tables  were  decorated  with  the  yellow 
and  blue,  and  with  yellow  and  blue  pansies. 
A  large  Michigan  sign  on  the  wall  facing 
the  table  and  a  large  L  with  the  numerals 
on  the  mirror  greeted  the  naughty  five 
class.  After  several  yells,  in  which  Love- 
joy  was  coaching  the  crowd,  the  dinner 
was  exhausted  to  the  last  inch. 

Directly  following  a  business  meeting  was 
held,  and  the  old  officers  of  the  class  were 
re-elected  unanimously,  namely :  Earl  Love- 
joy,  president,  and  V.  E.  Van  Ameringen, 
secretary  and  treasurer.  It  was  decided  to 
hold  the  next  reunion  in  1920,  and  those 
present  promised  to  encourage  all  and  every 
one  to  return  for  a  good  time. 

On  Wednesday,  June  23,  at  11  o'clock, 
a  class  picture  was  taken  in  front  of  the 
Law  Building,  and  after  that  the  members 
went  to  the  Alumni  Luncheon  held  in  Bar- 
bour Gymnasium,  which  was  a  fine  affair, 
and  was  very  much  enjoyed  by  the  class. 
At  two  o'clock  we  were  all  present  at  the 
Alumni  Mass  Meeting  in  Hill  Auditorium, 
and  in  this  splendid  hall  we  had  the  great 
pleasure  of  witnessing  the  making  of  re- 
gents for  the  University.     We  were  very

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[August 


much  gratified  to  have  our  beloved  "Jim" 
Devereaux  elected  one  of  the  regents, 
thanks  to  our  ex-speaker  of  the  House  of 
Representatives,  Currie. 

A  few  of  the  members  joined  the  Grad- 
uate Club,  and  they  claim  that  the  initiation 
was  rather  strenuous.  Our  friends  iFixel 
of  Detroit,  and  George  S.  Wright  of  Milan, 
will  give  information  free  of  charge  to 
those  interested. 

We  all  had  a  good  time,  and  enjoyed  the 
intercourse  which  was  furnished  by  this 
occasion  to  make  new  friends  out  of  old 
on«s,  and  compare  possibilities  for  the  fu- 
ture. We  came  to  the  conclusion  that  the 
naughty  five  law  class  is  holding  its  own. 


'09/. 

The  reunion  of  the  '09  law  class  was  not 
a  marked  success  judged  according  to  the 
number  of  the  classmates  that  returned. 
The  following  thirteen  men  managed  to 
report  for  their  **eight  o'clock" : 

Walter  R.  ArdU;  Charles  Bowles;  Hubert  A. 
Brennan;  Matt  N.  Connine;  Milo  H.  Crawford; 
Wilson  I.  Doan.  e'o3-'o6;  Otto  E.  Haab;  George 
H.  Milemore;  George  E.  Naylon,  ros-'o7;  A.  B. 
Oakes;  Walter  P.  Olds;  Gw  A.  Rathbun,  'o4-'os; 
Edward  H.  Rogers;  A.  S.  White. 

The  good  fellowship  evidenced  by  those 
present  helped  to  make  up  for  the  scarcity 
in  numbers,  but  we  had  too  small  a  gather- 
ing to  make  ourselves  very  noticeable  on 


1905  IN  THE  LAW  SCHOOL  FOREGATHER  WITH  PROFESSOR  THOMPSON 


and  is  doing  remarkably  well,  and  that  we 
can  be  proud  to  belong  to  the  class. 

The  only  sad  occurrence  we  have  to  note 
is  the  death  of  some  of  our  classmates,  in- 
cluding our  beloved  brothers  Bancroft, 
Kephart  and  Hoxie.  Resolutions  were 
drawn  up,  adopted  and  sent  to  the  relatives. 

About  thirty-five  members  were  present 
at  the  reunion,  as  follows: 

H.  H.  Adams;  Allan  G.  Aigler;  Edward  N. 
Barnard;  David  H.  Crowley j  Gilbert  A.  Currie; 
James  P.  Devereaux:  William  L.  Fitzgerald; 
Arthur  E.  Pixel;  William  J.  Griffin;  Leon  W. 
Harrington;  M.  Grove  Hatch;  S.  M.  Liddell, 
ro2-'o4:  Earl  Lovejoy;  Walter  C  McNeil,  '03; 
Tames  Maynard.  Jr.;  John  A.  Millotte:  Willard 
J.  Nash;  Herbert  P.  Orr;  Arthur  W.  Parry; 
Earle  L.  Peters;  Charles  A.  Robertson;  R.  H. 
Rossman;  Clarence  M.  Russell;  Elmer  G.  Smith: 
William  J.  Steinert;  V.  E.  Van  Ameringen;  Bird 
J.  Vincent:  J.  B.  Weymouth;  Edward  C.  Wolfe; 
George  S.  Wright;  William  H.  Yeamd. 

V.  E.  Van  Ameringen, 
Secretary. 


the  Campus,  and  thus,  the  reunion  of  'eg 
law  could  hardly  be  spoken  of  as  the  "Big 
Noise." 

Those  present  followed  the  plan  of  en- 
tertainment so  carefully  and  generously 
outlined  for  us  by  the  Alumni  Association, 
and  I  believe  that  everyone  was  more  than 
glad  he  had  made  the  trip  back  to  Ann 
Arbor  and  her  charms. 

Bowles,  Connine,  Doan,  White,  Craw- 
ford and  Rathbun  brought  their  wives. 
Two  or  three  of  the  boys  expressed  them- 
selves as  being  just  about  as  willing  to  take 
a  ham  sandwich  to  a  banquet  as  they  were 
to  consent  to  their  wives  accompanying 
them,  but  the  rest  of  us  refused  to  coun- 
tenance any  such  sentiment,  and  I,  for  one, 
believe  that  the  ladies  had  a  good  time,  and 
am  sure  we  were  highly  honored  with  their 
presence.

Milo  Crawford  has  been  married  but  a 
short  time  and  was  so  stingy  that  he  took 
Mrs.  Crawford  right  back  to  Detroit  early 
on  the  -first  day  without  even  allowing  her 
to  meet  his  classmates.  Or  perhaps  Mrs. 
C.  is  still  a  little  adverse  to  admitting  that 
she  married  one  of  us  rowdy  laws. 

Brennan,  Milemore  and  Cakes  were  still 
able  to  find  the  fair  young  girb  of  Ann 
Arbor,  and  during  the  greater  part  of  the 
time  they  were  conspicuous  by  their  ab- 
sence. Ardis,  Haab  and  Olds  regretted  that 
they  did  not  have  their  wives  with  them. 
We  all  pitied  Ed.  Rogers.  He  had  had  no 
wife  and  couldn't  get  a  girl. 

Everyone  present  agreed  that  he  would 
put  forth  every  effort  to  make  our  next 
regular  reunion  tinder  the  Dix  system  a 
success,  and  get  a  life  sized  gang  to  come 
back  to  Ann  Arbor.

1910  NEWS  LETTER. 
Dear  Classmates: 

About  thirty  of  us  were  back  for  Alumni 
Day,  not  counting  the  in-laws  who  have 
been  acquired  these  last  few  years,  and  90 
we  had  a  little  unofficial  get-together  with 
a  fire,  eats,  songs  and  a  roll-call.  We 
heard  from  someone  who  had  seen  Glenn 
Palmer  that  he,  Josephine  Preston  Peabody 
and  some  other  friends  of  his  were  doing 
something,  but  we  forget  wliat  Every- 
body wanted  to  know  why  Good  and  Bohn- 
sack  weren't  back;  there  was  conjecture 
as  to  whether  Hollis  Baker  has  married 
but  someone  saw  him  awhile  ago  walking 
with  another  girl  so  we  concluded  he 
hasn't;  Kenneth  Arthur,  they  say,  looked 
natural  getting  into  an  electric  in  Detroit; 
and  Edgar  Bowen  has  married  Helen 
Gable,  that  Gamma  Phi  that  has  such  pret- 
ty red  hair,  you  know.  Marble  is  on  the 
stage,  doing  well,  makes  New  York  his 
headquarters.  Edna  Allen,  they  say.  has 
bought  a  farm,  but  whether  out  of  her 
savings  from  school-teaching  or  otherwise, 
we  can't  say.  Of  course  you've  heard  that 
Marian  Ludington  is  married.  We  asked 
Lona  Tinkham  about  the  wedding-dress 
(the  enthusiastic  reporter  had  it  that  she 
and  Mrs.  Jordan  were  the  A.  A.  celebrities 
at  the  ceremony)  but  **Tink"  proved  an 
alibi  so  we  have  to  take  the  reporter's  word 
for  the  gown.  Nell  Canright  is  to  be  mar- 
ried in  August  and  some  of  us  think  of 
going  over,  if  we're  asked,  to  see  the  thing 
through.  Hope'll  be  in  Summer  School; 
she's  getting  her  A.M.,  but  likely  can  take 
a  day  off.    Frances  Tubbs  and  Belle  Hurley 

fot  their  Master's  this  year  and  Cornelia 
fcKnight  will  finish  the  work  for  hers  this 
summer.    Never  saw  a  class  like  Qurs  for 


getting  ahead.  Bobbie  Granville  is  teaching 
English  in  A.  A.  H.  S.  and  they  say  he's 
a  regular  cracker-jack  at  it.  Anna  Woess- 
ner  will  be  teaching  Math,  there  next 
year,  and  with  two  other  Ten's  (Hope  and 
"Tink")  already  on  the  faculty,  "Business 
just  Pooms,"  as  dear  old  **Toot"  Georg 
used  to  say.  Lyman  Bryson  has  the  usual 
amount  of  ego  in  his  cosmos,  which  is  do- 
ing pretty  well  considering  the  knock-down 
sidcness  he  had  this  spring.  Mellen  Martin 
is  with  the  firm  of  lawyers  that  gives  First 
Aid  to  the  readers  of  the  Chicago  Trrbune. 
Blanche  and  Lawrence  (Johnson)  are  go- 
ing down  to  Champaign  next  year  where 
Van  and  Frieda  are  (the  'ii's  count  those 
girls  theirs,  but  they  started  with  us).  You 
probably  know  that  the  two-year-old  rom- 
ance of  Herbert  Otis  and  Margaret  Stone 
(M.A.  1912)  ended  in  matrimony  lately. 
Nice  couple.  We  like  Virgil  Guthrie's  wife 
too,  and  they  say  their  baby  boy  is  nice. 
Virgil  has  just  had  an  adventure  over  in 
Canada  as  a  German  spy  but  he's  back  on 
his  paper  all  right;  doesn't  blame  the 
colonel  for  suspecting  his  camera.  Walter 
Sundermann  and  his  wife  were  right  jolly; 
he  gave  us  up-to-date  information  about 
many  more  of  the  boys  on  the  roll  but  it 
takes  too  long  to  tell  all  of  it. 

The  middle  of  next  month  Henrietta

DTD  MICHIGAN'S   SMART  SET 
RETURN?    IT  DID! 

Yes,  Ann  Arbor  roped  off  the  streets  and 
moved  up  the  chandeliers  for  the  return  of 
the  THIRTEEN  UTS! 

And  'when  we  left  old  "Ann  Town"  in 
the  cold,  inert  stillness  of  another  Summer 
Session,  there  remained  the  indelible  im- 
press of  the  "biggest,  best  and  busiest"  re- 
union yet  staged  by  any  class,  at  any  time, 
at  Michigan. 

That's  a  record  we're  proud  of.  We  liavc 
that  right  to  be  proud.  Good  authority 
declares  it  the  best — in  fact,  the  most  able 
authority  obtainable;  and  that  no  less  than 
the  reliable  word  of  the  staid,  conservative 
General  Alumni  Association,  which  has  wit- 
nessed many  a  good  reunion  heretofore  but 
has  never  recorded  another  so  character- 
ized by  numbers,  novelties  and  noise. 

The  success  is  not  due  to  any  of  the 
preconceived  plans  of  a  committee,  nor  to 
the  fact  that  one  hundred  and  fifty-six 
THIRTEEN  UTS  returned.  The  real 
success  is  truthfully  ascribed  to  the  pep  and 
enthusiasm  with  which  all  the  SMART 
SET,  once  on  the  ground,  entered  into  the 
activities  of  the  two  days'  program.  Many 
"grads"  of  long  ago  remarked  in  com- 
mendation, "Some  live  bunch"  and  "How 


the  co-eds  most  have  dianged  since  our 
day,"  as  they  watched  boys  and  girls  alike 
hanging  to  one  another's  coat  tails  or  lock- 
stepping  through  dust  and  dirt,  yelling, 
blowing  horns  and  whistles,  and  taking  the 
town  by  storm  as  every  reunion  should, 
but  doesn't 

Two  things  we've  patented,  or  hope  we 
have — one  for  other  classes  and  one  for 
ourselves.  The  "^GRADSONS  TO  LOST 
GRADS"  movement  worked  splendidly,  as 
was  evidenced  by  the  numerous  "adopted** 
alumni  Who,  at  our  invitation,  joined  us  in 
our  festivities.  We  hope  the  plan  will  be 
furthered  by  other  classes.  The  other  is 
the  convict's  garb  which  has  been  unani- 
mously declared  officially  ours  for  reunions 
to  come. 

Things  started  off  Tuesday  morning  by 
"glad-handing"  at  headquarters  tent  pitched 
in  front  of  Alumni  Memorial  Hall — the 
THIRTEEN  "HALL  OF  FAME."  At 
noon  we  picnicked  at  the  Island,  a  relapse 
of  the  old  Huron  River  variety — pink- 
lemonade  eat-fests.  And  later  in  the  af- 
ternoon we  lock-stepped  and  paraded,  be- 
hind the  NINETY-NINES  and  their  band, 
around  the  diamond  in  preparation  for  the 
first  massacre  of  Pennsy. 

And  right  here  we  want  to  cast  a  few 
bouquets  of  appreciation  before  the 
NINETY-NINES.  They  liked  our  pep  and 
our  girls;  so,  also,  we  liked  their  pep  and 
themselves ;  some  of  us  we're  told,  their 
two  bachelors  especially.  If  we  aren't 
hurting  anybody's  feelings,  they  were  the 
only  other  class  on  the  premises  that  really 
put  up  an  exhibition  that  deserves  mention. 
We're  glad  we  know  all  of  them.  In  fact, 
we've  heard  that  they've  officially  decided  to 
set  their  ne.xt  reunion  over  from  1920  to 
1921  in  order  to  be  back  the  same  year  as 
we  return.  If  that's  so,  we're  more  than 
glad  that  we  can  get  even  better  acquainted. 

Following  both  clean-ups  with  Pennsy, 
not  a  few  of  us  "steaked"  and  "crooked  the 
elbow"  at  Joe's,  that  place  called  "Elysium 
— or  is  it  delirium" — a  la  "Bernie"  Fallon, 
who  spent  a  whole  dollar  on  a  telegram 
from  the  Pacific  Coast  expressing  regrets 
at  his  inability  to  reune  with  us.  "Nort" 
Schuyler  also  telegraphed  from  St.  Louis 
expressing  like  sentiments. 

The  breakfast  and  dance  Wednesday 
morning  at  the  Packard  was  an  event  of 
the  old  species,  with  eighty-five  in  attend- 
ance— the  same  old  faces,  noise  and  clatter 
of  two  years  ago.  At  noon  we  ate  with 
the  rest  of  the  alumni  at  the  gymnasiums, 
after  having  worked  up  an  appetite  lock- 
stepping  around  the  tables  with  banners 
flying.  Following  this  we  attended  the 
mammoth  alumni  mass  meeting  at  Hill 
Auditorium.

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[August 


One  old  grad  at  the  mass  meeting  turned 
to  his  neighbor  and  asked,  "It's  past  time, 
why  don't  they  start  ?"— "They  can't/'  was 
the  reply,  "the  THIRTEENS  aren't  in  yet!" 
And  tiiey  didn't  start  immediately  after  we 
got  in  either.  For  with  the  entire  outfit 
of  noise-making  instruments  from  Ann 
Arbor's  two  ten  cent  stores  in  our  mouths 
and  hands,  we  lock-stepped  the  aisles  with 
a  line  a  block  long  and  let  pandemonitim 
loose  taking  our  seats.  "Babe"  Shields  rep- 
resented the  "youngest  reuners"  as  one  of 
the  two  lady  "regents"  in  the  mock  gradu- 
ation exercises ;  while  ''Clem"  Quinn,  digni- 
fied with  flowing  white  beard  and  hair,  had 
conferred  upon  him  by  "Prexy"  Heineman 
the  honorary  degree  of  S.C.,  meaning  Santa 
Claus. 

Afterwards,  we  again  paraded  to  Ferry 
Field  with  the  NINETY-NINES,  and  in 
the  evening  joined  with  them  to  the  num- 
ber of  about  forty  in  taking  over  Grang- 
er's Wednesday  night  assembly  for  an  in- 
formal dance,  and  a  "banquet"  and 
"speeches"  at  the  Busy  Bee,  as  a  fitting 
climax  to  the  two  days'  activities. 

We  were  particularly  fortunate  during 
both  days  in  having  the  use  of  machines 
furnished  by  "Walt"  Staebler,  "Heine" 
Spring  and  "Jack"  Hanna.  We  made 
maximum  use  of  them  between  events,  in 
coursing  up  and  down  the  streets  with 
seats  and  running  boards  jammed  full  to 
impress  upon  Ann  Arborites  the  fact  that 
the  "THIRTEEN^  were  back." 

Best  of  all  for  the  future,  our  credit  is 
still  good  in  Ann  Arbor.  The  reunion  cost 
a  total  of  $216,  and  we  broke  over  with 
exactly  $2.53  to  the  good. 

We  meet  again  in  191 7.  "Ray"  Bassett, 
"Walt"  Staebler  and  Mildred  Guilford 
Sfraebler,  all  residing  in  Ann  Arbor,  are 
the  new  alumni  secretaries  in  charge. 
Everyone  should  be  back— those  who  were 
present  this  year  because  they  know  exactly 
what  to  expect  again ;  those  who  were  not 
so  fortunate  in  order  not  to  miss  out

'13W. 


Twenty-two  per  cent  of  the  members  of 
the  1913  medical  class  were  in  Ann  Arbor 
during  Commencement  Week — ^a  goodly 
number  for  the  first  reunion  of  "profes- 
sionals." Those  returning  spent  much  of 
their  time  renewing  acquaintances  and  visit- 
ing clinics  at  the  University  Hospital,  while 
all  who  could  took  luncheon  together  at 
Foster's  Tea  Room  on  Alumni  Day.  The 
good  attendance  and  the  cordial  responses 
by  letter  on  the  part  of  those  who  could 
not  be  present  augur  well  for  our  second 
reunion  in  191 7. 

Those  present  were: 

F.  L.  Conklin;  Irving  W.  Greene,  '10;  Charles 
S.  Kennedy,  *ii;  L.  M.  Otis;  Henry  A.  Schlink,

About  fourteen  members  of  the  1913  law 
class  were  present  on  Tuesday,  and  besides 
attending  the  various  functions  of  that 
day,  held  a  little  informal  dinner  at  the

ALUMNI  REUNIONS

Union  with  Professor  Bunker  as  their 
guest.  On  this  occasion,  plans  were  dis- 
cussed whereby  we  might  be  able  to  have 
a  large  number  of  our  class  back  for  the 
next  reunion,  it  being  the  consensus  of 
opinion  of  those  present  that  an  attempt  to 
have  a  reunion  of  a  law  class  in  two  years 
after  graduation  is  a  little  untimely.  As 
one  of  the  boys  suggested,  "Most  of  the 
fellows  just  starting  into  the  practice  of 
law  are  too  busy  hustling  after  a  meal 
ticket  for  the  first  two  years  to  think  very 
seriously  about  obtaining  a  railroad  ticket 
to   get   them   back    for   a   class   reunion.'' 


However,  I  have  assurances  from  several 
quarters  that  the  boys  will  be  lined  up  when 
the  time  comes  for  the  '13  laws  to  "reune"" 
again.

556  THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS  [August 

MEETING  OF  THE  ALUMNI  ADVISORY 

COUNCIL 

The  fourth  annual  meeting  of  the  Alumni  Advisory  Council  was  held  at 
the  Michigan  Union  at  six  o'clock,  June  22,  1915,  taking  the  form  of  a 
dinner.  Those  present  were:  Mr.  W.  L.  Jenks,  '78,  A.M.  (hon,)  '15,  Port 
Huron;  Mr.  George  N.  Carman,  '81,  A.M.  (hon.)  '06,  Chicago;  Mr.  D.  J. 
HaflF,  '84,  '86/,  A.M.  (hon,)  '09,  Kansas  City;  Mr.  Walter  E.  Oxtoby,  '98/, 
Detroit;  Mr.  Levi  L.  Barbour,  '63,  '65/,  Detroit;  Mr.  E.  B.  Perry,  '89^, 
Mech.E.  '96,  Bay  City ;  Miss  Georgia  F.  Bacon  '97,  New  York ;  Miss  Grace 
G.  Millard,  '97,  Detroit;  Dr.  G.  Carl  Huber,  '87W,  Ann  Arbor;  Dr.  Elsie 
S.  Pratt,  'o4fn,  Ann  Arbor ;  Mr.  Charles  A.  Riegelman,  '99,  New  York ;  Mr. 
John  H.  Darling,  'yy,  D.Eng.  '15,  Duluth,  Minn.;  Mr.  Andrew  Lenderink, 
'08^,  Kalamazoo ;  and  the  General  Secretary.  Judge  V.  H.  Lane,  '74^,  '78/, 
as  President  of  the  Alumni  Association  and  President  of  the  Advisory 
Council,  presided.  Mr.  Walter  S.  Russel,  y^e,  M.Eng.  '10,  Detroit,  was 
also  present  for  a  few  minutes. 

Owing  to  the  fact  that  Mr.  Riegelman,  the  representative  of  the  New 
York  Association,  was  able  to  be  present  only  for  a  short  time,  the  Council 
considered  the  matter  of  the  "One  Percenter's  Club"  immediately.  Mr. 
Riegelman  laid  the  matter  before  the  Council,  and  asked  for  some  action. 
Following  some  discussion,  it  was  moved  by  Mr.  Haff,  that  the  matter 
of  the  "One  Percenter's  Club"  be  presented  to  the  Annual  Alumni  Meet- 
ing by  the  representative  of  the  New  York  Club,  with  the  favorable  recom- 
mendation of  the  Council,  and  that  it  be  approved.  This  motion  was  sup- 
ported by  Mr.  Levi  L.  Barbour,  and  duly  carried.  The  Secretary  then  read 
the  report  of  the  last  meeting,  which  was  approved,  and  also  the  report  of 
the  meeting  of  the  Executive  Committee  of  the  Advisory  Council,  held  on 
February  20,  1915,  which  upon  vote  was  approved  by  the  Council. 

The  matter  of  the  note  made  by  the  Alumni  Association  to  cover  the 
balance  of  the  indebtedness  upon  the  Alumni  Memorial  Hall  of  $3,988.49 
was  considered,  and  following  some  discussion  it  was  moved  by  Mr.  Haff 
that  it  be  the  sense  of  the  Council  that  the  Board  of  Regents  be  asked  to 
consider  again  their  action  with  respect  to  caring  for  the  indebtedness 
remaining  upon  the  Memorial  Building.  This  motion  was  seconded  by  Mr. 
Oxtoby  and  duly  carried. 

The  following  report  of  the  Committee  on  housing  conditions  among 
students  in  Ann  Arbor,  appointed  at  the  instance  of  the  Executive  Com- 
mittee, was  read.    The  report  is  as  follows : 

University  of  Michigan, 

Ann  Arbor,  Michigan. 
June  16,  19x5. 
To  the  Executive  Council  of  the  Alumni  Association : 

The  Committee  recently  appointed  to  consider  the  question  of  living  conditions 
among  the  students  of  the  University  at  a  meeting  held  on  Friday,  June  11,  agreed 
upon  the  following  recommendations:

191 5]  THE  ALUMNI  ADVISORY  COUNCIL  557 

1.  That  an  approved  list  of  rooming  houses  and  boarding  houses — including  the 
houses  of  all  fraternities  and  sororities  and  other  like  clubs  and  all  restaurants  and 
cafes — be  established  and  maintained. 

2.  That  after  January  i,  1916,  no  student  be  allowed  to  register  in  the  University 
unless  he  give  evidence  of  residence  in  an  approved  house. 

3.  That  all  students  leasing  rooms  be  advised  to  make  use  of  the  form  of  lease 
already  drawn  up  and  approved  by  the  University. 

4.  That  provision  be  made  for  frequent  and  responsible  inspection  of  all  room- 
ing houses  and  boarding  houses — including  restaurants — with  special  reference  to 
conditions  affecting  health  and  safety. 

5.  That  the  Alumni  Association  ask  the  governing  bodies  of  the  University  to 
give  their  support  to  the  changes  just  proposed. 

With  regard  to  these  recommendations  the  Committee  is  convinced  that  they  are 
fully  warranted  by  present  conditions.  The  Committee  is  much  gratified  to  know  that 
the  Health  Service  Representatives  under  the  direction  of  Dr.  Cummings  are  now 
planning  a  careful  survey  of  the  living  conditions  in  all  the  houses  of  the  organized 
clubs,  over  a  hundred  in  number;  for  the  educative  value  of  such  a  survey  to  the 
groups  of  students  affected  is  botmd  to  be  very  great. 

In  recommending  frequent  and  responsible  inspection  the  Committee  would  urge 
that  the  provision  for  inspection  be  such  as  will  give  positive  assurance  of  the  main- 
tenance of  satisfactory  conditions.  At  least  two  properly  trained  inspectors  should  be 
appointed ;  they  should,  in  the  opinion  of  the  Committee,  be  under  the  direction  of  the 
University  Health  Service;  and  the  offer  of  the  city  authorities  to  make  them  deputy 
health  officers  of  the  city  should  be  accepted. 

Finally  the  Committee  believes  that,  if  a  number  of  good  residence  halls  could 
be  secured  for  the  students  of  the  University,  for  the  men  as  well  as  for  the  women, 
the  general  standard  of  rooming  conditions  in  Ann  Arbor  would  be  greatly  improved. 
Michigan  alumni  interested  in  the  welfare  of  students  at  the  University  should  con- 
sider this  question  of  residence  halls  as  never  before. 

Committee:  Respectfully  submitted,

Some  discussion  followed  the  reading  of  the  report,  after  which  it  was 
moved  by  Mr.  Barbour,  and  seconded  by  Mr.  Carman,  that  this  report  be 
approved  and  referred  to  the  Alumni  Association.  Mr.  Homer  L.  Heath, 
'07,  the  manager  of  the  Michigan  Union,  spoke  upon  the  campaign  plans 
for  the  new  Michigan  Union,  telling  something  of  the  185  separate  organ- 
izations among  the  alumni.  Drawings  of  the  exterior  of  the  building  were 
also  shown. 

Mr.  Oxtoby  presented  the  matter  of  further  organization  of  the  alumni 
in  the  State  of  Michigan.  After  some  discussion  it  was  moved  by  Mr. 
Oxtoby  that  the  Council  recommend  to  the  various  local  associations  in 
Michigan  that,  in  order  to  obtain  the  fullest  benefit  of  membership,  they 
federate  to  form  a  state  association.  This  motion  was  carried.  It  was  then 
moved  by  Mr.  Perry,  and  seconded  by  Mr.  HaflF.  that  similar  federations  of 
various  clubs,  in  different  states  be  effected.    This  motion  was  also  carried. 

I'pon  motion  the  meeting  then  adjourned.

1915]  THE  ANNUAL  ALUMNI  MEETING  559 

Mr.  W.  B.  Shaw  presented  the  report  of  the  Secretary  of  the  Alumni 
Advisory  Council,  following  which  the  different  items  of  the  report  were 
taken  up  for  discussion. 

Mr.  Charles  A.  Riegelman,  '99,  of  New  York  City,  reported  on  the 
proposed  "One  Percent  CluV  plan,  which  contemplates  asking  the  alumni 
to  leave  to  the  University  in  their  wills  1%  of  their  estates.  Several  motions 
in  regard  to  the  matter  were  made  and  amended,  and  also  substitutions  and 
amendments  to  them,  which  were  all  finally  withdrawn  after  much  discus- 
sion, and  the  following  motion,  made  by  Dr.  G.  Carl  Huber,  'Sjm,  and  sec- 
onded by  Mr.  Levi  L.  Barbour,  '63,  '65I,  was  adopted : 

Moved,  That  the  proposition  to  organize  a  "One  Percent  Club"  be  referred  to  a 
special  committee,  to  be  appointed  by  the  chair,  who  shall  consider  and  report  to  the 
Executive  Committee  of  the  Alumni  Advisory  Council  on  the  advisability  of  adopting 
the  suggestion,  and  if  found  advisable,  to  draft  and  submit  a  plan  in  connection  there- 
with. 

The  report  of  the  Memorial  Committee  was  read  by  Judge  C.  B.  Grant, 
'59,  accepted  and  placed  on  file.  Mr.  Lawrence  Cameron  Hull,  'yy,  A.M. 
(hon.)  '97,  moved  that  a  vote  of  thanks  be  extended  to  the  New  York  Club, 
and  to  Mr.  Riegelman  in  particular,  for  the  interest  shown  in  suggesting  the 
"One  Percent  Club"  plan  for  the  benefit  of  the  University.  The  motion 
prevailed. 

Mr.  Jocelyn  read  the  report  of  the  committee  on  living  conditions  among 
the  students  of  the  University,  which,  after  much  discussion,  was  referred, 
on  motion  of  Dr.  Huber,  to  the  Senate  Council,  with  the  suggestion  that  as 
much  of  it  as  they  deem  wise  to  approve  be  adopted  and  put  into  force  in 
the  near  future. 

The  recommendation  of  the  Alumni  Advisory  Council  in  reference  to  a 
Federation  of  State  Alumni  Clubs  was,  by  motion,  referred  to  a  Committee. 

It  was  moved  and  supported  that  the  Secretary  cast  a  unanimous  ballot 
for  Judge  Lane  and  Dr.  Pratt  to  succeed  themselves  as  Directors  of  the 
Alumni  Association  for  the  next  period  of  office.  The  motion  prevailed,  and 
the  Secretary  cast  the  ballot  accordingly.  Judge  Lane  and  Dr.  Pratt  being 
declared  duly  elected. 

The  following  motion  was  presented  by  Judge  Grant : 

Whereas,  The  Alumni  Association  is  in  debt  in  the  sum  of  about  $4,000 
($3,98849),  balance  due  for  the  construction  of  Memorial  Hall;  and 

Wherbas,  The  immediate  payment  thereof  is  important; 

Therefore,  Resolved,  That  the  Board  of  Directors  be  and  are  hereby  instructed 
to  make  an  appeal  through  The  Alumnus  to  the  alumni  and  non-graduates  to  remit 
to  the  Treasurer  of  the  Alumni  Association  one  dollar  each  for  the  purpose  of  paying 
said  debt ;  the  balance  after  the  payment  of  said  debt  to  be  used  for  other  purposes  as 
said  Board  of  Directors  may  direct 

The  resolution  was  duly  carried. 
The  meeting  then  adjourned. 

Louis  P.  Jocelyn,  '87,  Secretary.

56o  THE  MICHIGAN  ALUM^^JS  [August 

REPORT  OF  THE  GENERAL  SECRETARY 

To  the  Board  of  Directors  and  Members  of  the  Alumni  Association  of  the  University 
of  Michigan. 

Fellow  Alumni: — 

It  is  with  pleasure  that  I  am  able  to  report  that  this  seventeenth  year  of  the 
Alumni  Association  under  its  present  organization  has  been  a  period  of  progress  in 
many  directions.  The  question  of  finances,  which  in  the  earlier  years  of  the  Associa- 
tion was  a  serious  one,  has  been  solved  to  a  certain  extent,  at  least  The  ordinary 
running  expenses  of  the  Association  are  now  provided  for  through  the  regular  income 
from  the  dues  paid  by  the  members  of  the  Association,  from  advertising  in  Ths 
Ai<UMNUS^  from  the  interest  on  the  endowment  fund  and  from  the  grant  of  $600  for 
advertising  made  by  the  University.  But  the  field  of  operation  before  an  organization 
of  this  character  is  almost  limitless,  so  whatever  the  income,  it  is  never  more  than 
sufficient  to  meet  the  ever-increasing  expenditures. 

The  accompanying  financial  report,  it  is  true,  shows  a  deficit,  but  this  is  largely 
caused  by  the  note  of  $3,98849  assumed  by  the  Alumni  Association  to  cover  the  remain- 
ing indebtedness  on  the  Alumni  Memorial  Hall,  and  because  of  the  fact  that  some 
$6,000  in  subscriptions  to  The  Alumnus,  due  now,  or  one,  or  in  some  cases,  two  years 
overdue,  are  not  included.  While  these  subscriptions  are  a  very  real  asset,  it  has  been 
felt  by  the  Directors  and  the  auditor  that  they  are  not  sufficiently  tangible  to  become 
part  of  such  a  statement  At  best  they  could  only  be  an  estimate.  With  these  included 
the  deficit  might  easily  be  shown  to  be  a  comfortable  surplus.  This  will  explain  the 
increase  in  the  deficit  over  last  year  when  these  subscriptions  due  were  counted  among 
the  assets. 

This  report  shows  an  increase  in  the  endowment  membership  of  the  Association 
of  fifty-one  during  the  past  year.  This  means  that  a  total  of  $1,785  has  been  pledged 
to  the  Association,  and  of  this  sum  $1,428  becomes  part  of  the  endowment  of  the 
Association;  which  as  you  will  note  now  totals  $26,750  in  bonds  and  mortgages,  and 
$243.73  in  cash.  The  income  of  the  Association  at  present  from  these  investments 
is  $1,515  annually.  You  will  note  also  that  during  the  past  year  payments  on  endow- 
ment memberships  have  added  to  this  fund  a  total  of  $1,103,  aside  from  the  portion 
available  for  running  expenses,  $285. 

It  is  also  some  satisfaction  to  me  to  report  that  we  have  now  a  total  of  $1,865.95 
in  the  advance  subscription  fund,  formed  by  the  payment  of  from  two  to  five  years  in 
advance  of  subscriptions  to  The  Alumnus.  The  fund  was  established  two  years  ago 
with  the  idea  of  furnishing  a  sinking  fund  for  the  Association  during  the  year,  from 
which  sufficient  simis  to  carry  on  ordinary  running  expenses  might  be  drawn  as 
occasion  arose,  and  repaid  when  practicable.  The  fund  is  at  present  intact,  with  the 
exception  of  $220.00  advanced  for  the  purchase  of  the  moving  picture  films  which  have 
been  sent  to  various  alumni  associations  around  the  country,  and  whidi  were  shown 
to  the  alumni  last  night  We  expect  this  sum  to  be  returned  by  next  fall  through  the 
rental  of  these  films. 

This  subscription  fund  contemplates  the  repayment  to  the  Association  of  $1.00 
for  each  year  paid  in  advance,  leaving  a  balance  of  75  cents  or  $1.00  in  the  fund  at  the 
expiration  of  the  subscription.  At  present  I  am  pleased  to  say  that  the  residue  which 
will  remain  in  the  fund  after  all  advance  subscriptions  are  paid  will  amount  to  about 
$650. 

There  is  no  more  satisfactory  index  of  the  general  growth  of  alumni  sentiment 
and  enthusiasm  than  the  increase  in  the  local  alumni  associations  and  the  interest  on 
the  part  of  class  organization.  It  therefore  gives  me  much  pleasure  to  report  that  tke 
University  now  has  129  local  alumni  clubs,  most  of  which  are  in  a  flourishing  condi- 
tion, an  increase  of  11  during  the  past  year.  Of  this  number  10  are  alumnae  chibs. 
The  new  clubs  were  organized  at:  Atlanta,  Ga.,  Battle  Creek  University  Club,  Qeve- 
land  Alumnae,  Tri-City  Association  at  Davenport,  la.,  Eugene,  Ore.,  Kenosha,  Wls^ 
Lawrence,  Kans.,  Louisville,  Ky.,  Pasadena  Alumnae,  Sioux  City,  la.,  and  Platte, 
S.  Dak. 

Through  the  membership  of  the  General  Secretary  in  the  National  Association  of 
Alumni  Secretaries,  of  which  Mr.  Edwin  R.  Embree,  Alumni  Registrar  of  Yale  Uni- 
versity, is  president,  and  Michigan's  representative  is  secretary,  we  have  identified

1915]  THE  ANNUAL  ALUMNI  MEETING  561 

ourselves  with  a  national  movement  towards  alumni  organization  wh^ch  may  develop 
new  and  broader  channels  for  alumni  activities  than  we  can  very  well  foresee  at 
present 

At  the  meeting  held  in  New  York  last  fall,  it  was  pointed  out  in  a  paper  upon 
'The  Ideal  Association"  presented  by  your  Secretary  that  according  to  recent  estimates 
there  are  at  least  400,000  college  graduates  in  this  country  at  present.  Yet  this  is  less 
than  one-half  of  one  percent  of  the  total  population.  In  the  best  single  measure  we 
have  of  effective  citizenship,  however,  "Who's  Who,"  the  college  man  forms  over  fifty 
percent  of  those  named.  If  these  facts  mean  anything,  they  show  that  the  college  man 
is  at  the  heart  of  the  machine  which  is  moving  this  country  today.  Is  it  too  much  to 
say  that  the  future  of  America  and  American  ideals  lies  with  her  college  graduates*? 

While  every  body  of  alumni  has  its  immediate  problems,— organization  of  alumni 
in  local  associations  and  by  classes,  the  preservation  and  classification  of  alumni  records, 
the  publication  of  the  alumni  magazine  and  the  ever-present  necessity  of  increasing  its 
subscription  list,  the  organization  of  alumni  meetings  and  reunions,  and  the  main- 
tenance of  a  general  propaganda  for  Alma  Mater — ^these,  however  necessary  they  are, 
are  not  the  great  essentials  of  the  ideal  association. 

However  perfect  the  details  of  organization  may  be,  there  must  be  an  informing 
and  uplifting  and  altruistic  spirit  which  will  grasp  the  fundamental  problems  of  uni- 
versity development  of  the  present  day,  and  set  them  forth  in  such  a  way  that  the 
average  alumnus  will  realize  their  import.  But,  likewise,  I  believe  firmly  that  the 
association  should  not  lose  itself  in  the  academic  atmosphere.  It  should  welcome  the 
criticism  of  hard-headed  alumni  to  the  end  that  the  university  may  not  march  out  of 
step  with  the  times. 

Above  all,  the  ideal  association  should  be  sensible  of  its  place  in  the  great  move- 
ment of  college  and  university  men  in  our  national  life.  Co-operation  among  the 
alumni  of  the  various  colleges  has  not  proceeded  very  far  yet,  though  in  New  York 
there  are  several  organizations  for  social  service,  aiming  to  employ  the  graduates  of 
all  colleges  in  civic  and  social  improvement  This  is  a  movement  which  has  spread  to 
other  cities  and  is  rich  in  promise.  It  has  done  much  already  in  the  places  where  it 
has  been  established  to  carry  alumni  organization  beyond  the  problems  and  needs  of 
their  own  institutions  into  the  broader  field  of  public  life,  and  we  can  confidently 
expect  a  greater  development  in  the  future.  We  are  on  a  firing  line  of  imposing 
proportions. 

Another  evidence  of  the  increased  interest  of  the  alumni  is  the  growing  impor- 
tance of  class  organization  and  the  enthusiasm  shown  at  these  annual  alumni  reunions. 
This  side  of  the  work  of  the  General  Association  has  been  receiving  particular  atten- 
tion within  tkc  last  few  years.  We  believe  the  results  justify  our  efforts.  One  hun- 
dred and  twenty-five  classes  in  the  different  Schools  and  Colleges  of  the  University 
(as  they  are  now  called)  are  organized  and  are  represented  by  a  regularly  elected  or 
appointed  class  secretary.  Thirty  classes  are  meeting  in  reunions  this  week,  and  the 
total  number  of  alimmi  registrations  will  exceed  the  1,420  who  returned  last  year. 
Ten  years  ago,  in  1905,  the  reunion  enrolment  was  about  630. 

The  officers  of  the  Association  regret  to  report,  however,  that  the  organization 
of  an  Association  of  Class  Secretaries  has  not  progressed  as  fast  or  as  far  as  had  been 
hoped.  The  initiative  seems  to  have  been  left  rather  with  the  General  Secretary,  who 
did  not  contemplate  increasing  his  duties  quite  to  that  extent  in  advocating  the  forma- 
tion of  such  an  organization.  The  original  purpose  of  the  movement  was  to  arouse 
and  foster  tlie  interest  of  the  class  secretaries  for  mutual  help  and  benefit  through  this 
organization  among  themselves.  Unless  they  see  fit  to  avail  .themselves  of  the  oppor- 
tunity for  organization,  and  co-operate  with  the  General  Secretary,  rather  than  rely 
upon  him  entirely,  the  organization  can  serve  no  useful  purpose.  It  may  be  said,  how- 
ever, that  we  are  planning  the  publication  of  a  handbook  for  the  use  of  class  secretar- 
ies and  the  preparation  of  blanks  for  gathering  statistical  and  biographical  material, 
which  may  encourage  further  efforts  toward  organization. 

The  Executive  Committee  of  the  Alumni  Advisory  Council  held  a  meeting  in 
Ann  Arbor,  February  20,  191 5,  and  considered  several  measures  of  importance.  The 
matter  of  the  One  Percenter's  Club,  submitted  by  the  New  York  Club,  was  not  con- 
sidered formally,  owing  to  the  absence  of  the  New  York  representative.  The  matter 
of  the  remaining  debt  on  the  'Memorial  Building,  assumed  by  the  Alumni  Association

562  THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS  [August 

in  the  form  of  a  note  for  $3,98849  was  considered.    It  is  hoped  that  in  the  not  distant 
future  some  means  may  be  found  for  relieving  the  Association  of  this  obligation. 

The  question  of  housing  conditions  among  students  in  the  University  was  also 
presented  to  the  Committee,  and  the  appointment  of  a  committee  to  investigate  and 
report  to  the  Advisory  Council  was  authorized.  The  report  of  this  committee,  of  which 
Professor  Robert  Treat  Crane,  of  the  Department  of  Political  Science,  is  chairman, 
was  presented  at  the  meeting  of  the  Advisory  Council  last  night,  and  will  be  laid  before 
you  this  morning. 

One  word  concerning  The  Axumnus.  It  forms  the  biggest  item  in  the  work  of 
the  Association.  Practically  all  the  details  of  editing  and  publishing  it,  as  well  as  the 
advertising  pages,  are  cared  for  by  the  Secretary  and  the  Assistant  Secretary  of  the 
Association,  as  editors.  We  feel  therefore  that  we  must  let  The  Alumnus  speak  for 
itself.  As  editor,  I  realize  that  there  are  certain  respects  in  which  it  may  be  criticized. 
These  may  be  ascribed  to  the  personal  equation  of  the  editor,  and  certain  difficulties  ici 
the  details  of  publication.  It  is  our  eflFort  to  make  it  as  interesting  to  ail  the  alumni 
as  possible,  and  to  keep  it  as  nearly  up  to  the  minute  as  is  possible  in  a  monthly  jour- 
nal. The  subscription  list  shows  a  slight  increase.  We  are  now  printing  ordinarily 
about  6,700  copies  a  month,  though  several  larger  issues  during  the  year  would  increase 
the  average  consid*erably.  The  recent  May  issue  was  sent,  in  the  interests  of  the  Mich- 
igan Union,  to  practically  every  man  who  has  been  in  the  University.  As  it  stands, 
the  circulation  of  The  ^umnus  is  one  of  the  very  largest  among  college  alumni 
journals  in  this  country.  It  should  be  larger,  however,  but  we  have  reached  that  point 
when  growth  without  extended,  and  expensive,  stimulation  is  a  difficult  problem. 

In  closing  this  report  I  wish  to  express  my  personal  appreciation  to  the  Assistant 
Secretary,  Miss  Harriet  Lawrence,  for  her  painstaking  and  enthusiastic  work,  to  the 
necrologist  of  the  Association,  Professor  Demmon,  for  his  interest  and  careful  efforts 
in  the  preparation  of  a  very  important  department  of  The  Alumnus,  and  to  the 
athletic  editor,  Mr.  Tapping,  whose  reports  of  Michigan's  athletic  activities  have  been 
appreciated  by  all  readers  of  The  Alumnus. 

All  of  which  is  respectfully  submitted. 

Wilfred  B.  Shaw, 
June  23,  191 5.  General  Secretary.

THE  ARROW  MAKER 

The  Arrow  Maker,  a  drama  of  American  Indian  life,  by  Mary  Austin, 
was  staged  on  the  Campus  by  the  women  of  191 5  as  the  annual  Senior  Play, 
on  the  evening  of  June  21.    The  characters  taken  were  as  follows: 

The  Chisera,  a  friend  of  the  g^ods,  and  medicine  woman  of  the  tribe  of  Saghara- 
wite,  Minerva  Bowen,  Grand  Rapids;  Tribesmen  of  Sagharawite,  Choco,  Nellie  Hanna, 
Geneseo,  III. ;  Winnedumah,  Ada  Inglis,  Boulder,  Col. ;  Pamaquash,  Bess  Hopper, 
Ann  Arbor;  Yavi,  Marjorie  Delavan,  Alma;  Tavwots,  Beatrice  E.  Stanton,  Belding; 
Seegooche,  wife  of  the  chief,  Helen  Burlingham,  Ann  Arbor;  Tiawa,  an  old  woman, 
Vivian  Glauz,  Grand  Rapids;  Wacoba,  a  matron,  Elizabeth  Piatt,  Detroit;  Bright 
Water,  daughter  of  the  chief.  Ethyl  Fox,  Ann  Arbor;  White  Flower  and  Tiugo,  com- 
panions of  Bright  Water,  Jean  Davidson,  Hubbell,  and  Marguerite  Haag,  Port  Huron ; 
Simwa,  the  arrow  maker,  Jane  Hicks,  Detroit;  Padahoon,  a  fighting  man,  and  rival 


••THE  ARROW  MAKER" 
The  Annual  Senior  Girli'  PUy  Given  Monday  Evening,  June  ai,  on  the  Cempui 

of  Simwa,  Bess  Baker,  Manitou  Beach;  Rain  Wind,  chief  of  the  tribe,  Ethel  Buzby, 
Woodstown,  N.  J.;  Haiwai,  Evelyn  Roehm,  Detroit;  fighting  men,  Edith  Macauley, 
Medina,  N.  Y.,  and  Gertrude  Hanna,  Ann  Arbor;  old  men,  sitting  in  council,  Lucile 
White,  Ann  Arbor;  Karolena  Fox,  Grand  Rapids;  Hazel  Quick,  Gaylord;  Bess  White, 
Ann  Arbor;  Beulah  DeLong,  Jackson;  Clara  Stahl,  Culver,  Ind. ;  Esther  Love, 
Fremont,  O.;  Mary  Purdy,  Pittsburgh,  Pa. 

The  "Chisera"  or  friend  of  the  gods,  who  is  medicine  woman  and  pries- 
tess of  an  Indian  tribe,  secretly  receives  a  lover  called  **Simwa,  the  Arrow 
Maker."  Foreseeing  the  imminent  need  of  a  new  leader  for  the  tribe,  the 
old  chief  places  the  responsibility  of  the  choice  upon  the  "Chisera,"  who  in 
turn  receives  her  inspiration  from  the  gods.  Padahoon,  rival  of  Simwa, 
greatly  desires  the  honor,  but  by  means  of  various  rites  including  that  of  the 
"seven  sacred  sticks,"  the  "Chisera"  aided  by  the  gods,  decides  in  favor 
of  Simwa,  "The  Arrow  Maker."    The  new  chief,  victorious  in  war,  soon

spurns  the  "Chisera"  for  the  old  chieftain's  daughter.  In  the  trouble  which 
follows  the  indispensable  gift  of  the  favor  of  the  gods  is  taken  from  the 
tribe  by  the  "Chisera,"  which  causes  Simwa  to  attempt  to  take  her  life  by 
means  of  an  arrow  of  black  magic.  Padahoon  intervenes,  seizes  the  arrow 
and  presents  it  to  the  priestess,  whereupon  Simwa  immediately  expires.  The 
gift  of  the  gods  returns  to  the  tribe  and  the  black  arrow  flies  forth  into  the 
night  from  the  bow  of  the  "Chisera"  bringing  happiness  once  more  to  the 
Sagharawites. 

The  various  characters  were  depicted  in  a  worthy  manner :  Miss  Bowen 
as  the  "Chisera,"  Miss  Fox  as  the  daughter  of  the  chief,  Miss  Hicks  as 
Simwa  and  Miss  Baker  as  Padahoon  were  exceptionally  good  and  showed 
marked  ability  in  difficult  character  roles.  The  whole  performance  proved 
that  the  191 5  women  were  not  without  their  good  share  of  dramatic  talent* 
The  production  was  also  notable  for  its  brilliant  scenic  effects. 

The  costumes  were  truly  Indian  and  so  well  did  the  pseudo-Piute  maid-^ 
ens  dance  around  the  cam|>-fire  that  one  might  have  truly  believed  them  "to 
the  Wickiup  bom.*'  Indian  music  by  the  aid  of  tom-toms  and  flutes  gave 
added  charm  to  the  scene,  but  it  must  be  confessed  that  the  weird  howling 
in  the  lurid  glow  of  the  camp-fire  bore  some  faint  echoes  of  a  recent  wild 
west  show  in  Ann  Arbor.  Where  else  could  our  dignified  women  of  the 
1915  caps  and  gowns  have  acquired  such  clever  mimicry?  That  this  clever- 
ness was  appreciated  was  proved  by  the  applause  given  by  the  large  audience 
which  witnessed  the  scenes  depicted  in  the  loves,  leadership  and  downfall 
of  Simwa,  "The  Arrow  Maker." 


TO  THE  CLASSES  OF  '80,  '81,  '82,  AND  83 

The  following  verses  were  the  result  of  the  inspiration  of  the  reunion 
season  upon  one  enthusiastic  member  of  two  classes  which  met  this  year : 

We  hail  the  classes  '80,  'Si  and  '82, 

And  all  the  classes  of  old  U.  of  M. 

We  hail  her  teachers, — her  women  and  her  men. 

The  living ; — ^and  in  memory  the  dead. 

We  hail  the  class  of  Eighteen  Eighty-three, 

That  bade  us  go  and  bid  us  all  be  good, 

We  heeded  what  she  had  to  say  to  us 

And  we  have  done  the  very  best  we  could. 

Then  pass  it  on  dear  young  Fifteen 

And  wait  until  your  whiskers  grow, 

And  then  come  back  in  twenty  years 

And  tell  us  what  you  know. 

'Twill  take  some  time  to  make  your  mark, 

Some  years  to  win  renown, 

But  if  you'll  fight  your  battle  straight. 

You  will  honor  Cap  and  Gown, 

You  stand  today  for  Michigan 

In  old  Ann  Arbor  town. 

'Twas  here  you've  set  your  standard  up, — 

Who  dares  to  take  it  down  ? 

Ira  W.  Christian, 
Ann  Arbor.  Mich.,  June  24,  1^15.  Lit  '81,  Law  '82.

566  THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS  [August 

THE  ALUMNI  MASS  MEETING 

The  outstanding  event  of  Commencement  Week,  as  far  as  the  alumni 
were  concerned,  was  the  Alumni  Mass  Meeting  held  in  Hill  Auditorium  on 
the  afternoon  of  Wednesday,  June  23.     Here  the  classes  slowly  gathered 
after  the  Alumni  Luncheon  in  Waterman  Gymnasium,  many  of  them  arriv- 
ing in  a  body  to  the  music  of  their  own 
band,  or  failing  that,  of  musical  instru- 
ments of  a  more  primitive  character.  The 
floor  had  been   so  arranged  that  each 
class  sat  under  its  own  banner  in  the  cen- 
ter of  the  hall,  which  had  been  reserved 
for  the  alumni. 

Shortly  after  two  o'clock,  after  the 
Band  had  warmed  the  atmosphere  with 
"The  Victors"  and  one  or  two  other  good 
Michigan  tunes,  an  extemporized  police- 
man from  the  class  of  1912,  helmet  and 
all,  rushed  the  chairman  of  the  after- 
DAViD  E.  HEiNEMAN.  '87  noou,  David  E.  Hcincman,  '87,  VSS-'Sg, 

propriately  clad  in  a  summer  suit  of  the  requisite  maize  hue,  set  off  by  a 
tie  of  the  Michigan  blue.  Calling  the  meeting  together,  the  chairman 
immediately  suggested  the  need  of  a  master  of  ceremonies,  and  suggest- 
ed that  the  class  of  1905  elect  a  representative  for  that  honor.  Mr. 
Raymond  Russell  Kendrick,  '05,  *oyl,  of  Saginaw,  was  immediately  projected 
towards  the  stage,  where  he  was  speedily  garbed  in  a  brilliant  red  robe 
reminiscent  of  the  even  more  brilliant  costume  of  the  official  master  of 
ceremonies  of  the  following  day,  Professor  Sadler. 

Mr.  Heineman  then  outlined  the  necessity  for  some  further  alumni 
organization,  and  emphasized  the  need  of  serious  consideration  of  the  mat- 
ter, suggesting  that  the  organization  of  a  University  of  the  Alumni  might 
well  be  in  order.  In  furthering  this  idea  he  felt  the  need  of  a  Board  of 
Regents  and  Faculty,  and  called  for  nominations  from  the  floor.  A  very 
representative  body  was  quickly  formed,  which  included  among  others 
Judge  Ira  W.  Christian,  '82I,  '78-^81,  Mr.  Edmund  C.  Shields,  '94,  '96/, 
Regent  Junius  E.  Beal,  '82,  ex-Regent  W.  A.  Comstock,  '99,  Mr.  John 
Richards  '57,  A.M.  '60,  Dr.  Delia  P.  Pierce,  '90m,  and  some  twenty  others 
who  were  escorted  to  the  stage  by  the  master  of  ceremonies  and  shortly 
appeared  in  the  necessary  caps  and  gowns  with  elaborate  hoods  of  various 
colors  denoting  their  exalted  rank.  Meanwhile  the  oldest  graduate  appeared 
in  the  person  of  Levi  D.  Wines,  y4e,  of  the  "class  of  1823,"  in  a  beaver 
hat  of  that  vintage,  with  carpet  bag  and  linen  duster,  who  was  charitably 
dealt  with  by  the  chairman  on  account  of  his  extreme  age. 

No  university  being  properly  constituted  without  granting  degrees  and 
Commencement  exercises,  the  chairman  decided  that  a  Commencement  ora- 
tion was  in  order,  and  forthwith  called  upon  Edmund  C.  Shields,  '94,  'g&,  of

191  si  THE  ALUMNI  MASS  MEETING  567 

Lansing,  who  responded  "in  a  few  well-chosen  words/'  offering  as  his  opin- 
ion at  the  end  that  this  was  "some  Commencement  address."  The  chairman 
also  was  of  the  same  opinion  and  congratulated  him  upon  his  ability  as  an 
orator,  and  pointed  out  the  fact  that  it  was  similar  to  all  other  Commence- 
ment addresses  in  the  fact  that  the  beginning  and  the  end  had  no  connection 
with  one  another.  It  being  the  custom  to  present  the  orator  of  the  day  with 
a  degree  and  no  one  degree  being  adequate,  the  chairman  thereupon  pre- 
sented Mr.  Shields  with  a  huge  thermometer  carrying  with  it  "all  the 
degrees." 

Regent  Beal  was  then  given  an  opportunity  in  behalf  of  the  Athletic 
Association  to  present  to  Mr.  James  E.  Duffy,  '90,  '92/,  of  Bay  City,  a  beauti- 


1913  AGAIN 

ful  (?)  set  of  punch  bowl,  vases  and  glasses,  which  were  placed  upon  the 
stage  in  a  prominent  position.  Mr  Duffy  responded  feelingly  but  with  a  cer- 
tain heaitancy  in  accepting  the  gift.  When  through  the  carelessness  (  ?)  of 
those  who  removed  the  table  from  the  stage  the  glasses  were  thrown  to  the 
floor  and  broken  in  a  thousand  pieces,  his  doubts  seemed  justified,  particular- 
ly as  the  chairman  complacently  exhibited  a  sign  informing  the  audience  that  " 
they  only  cost  $1.45  anyway. 

As  the  oldest  graduate  present.  Major  George  M.  I^ane,  '53,  A.M.  '60, 
of  Detroit,  was  called  to  the  stage,  wearing  a  little  cap  and  drawing  a  toy 
wagon,  as  befitting  his  rank  as  the  youngest  graduate  present.  In  his 
speech,  which  was  a  happy  intermingling  of  the  lighter  and  more  serious 
vein,  he  proved  himself  entirely  in  harmony  with  the  spirit  of  the  occasion. 
He  was  most  enthusiastically  cheered  by  the  audience  when  he  was  given  an 
honorary  degree  by  the  chairman,  and  a  gown  and  appropriate 
hood  were  placed  upon  him  by  the  master  of  ceremonies.    He  was  followed

by  a  member  of  the  class  of  1913,  Mr.  Clement  P.  Quinn,  elected  upon  the 
spot  by  the  members  of  his  class  to  be  their  spokesman.  Not  having  suffici- 
ent dignity  or  years  in  the  eyes  of  the  chairman,  he  was  invested  with  a 
flowing  white  beard  and  long  white  locks,  in  which  appearance  of  decrepi- 
tude he  addressed  the  audience.  Commenting  upon  the  fact  that  191 3  wore 
the  striped  prisoners'  suits,  he  remarked  that  he  had  only  expected  to  wear 
that  costume  for  the  day,  but  if  he  caught  the  man  who  was  responsible  for 
choosing  him  as  the  representative  of  the  class,  he  might  wear  it  for  life. 
He  was  also  given  the  honorary  degree  of  S.C.  {Santa  Clous),  Two  further 
degrees  were  conferred  by  the  chairman,  first  upon  President  Hutchins,  '71, 
who  addressed  the  alumni  in  a  few  words.  He  received  the  degree  of 
H.A.R.,  (He's  All  Right),  together  with  a  bouquet  of  roses.  Dr.  Angell 
received  with  a  similar  bouquet  the  degree  of  A.B.  {Altogether  Beloved). 
Concluding  the  first  session  of  the  University  of  the  Alumni,  the  classes 
were  requested  to  line  up  in  order  in  the  procession  for  Ferry  Field.  The 
members  of  the  **M"  Club  headed  the  procession,  following  the  University 
of  Michigan  Band,  after  which  the  classes  fell  in  in  accordance  with  their 
rank,  the  bands  of  the  class  of  '99  and  '05  adding  their  share  to  the  music 
of  the  parade.  Although  the  game  had  already  started  when  the  procession 
reached  the  field,  several  of  the  classes  marched  about  the  diamond,  the 
Band  playing  and  banners  flying,  before  they  found  their  seats  in  the  grand- 
stand. The  game  entirely  fulfilled  expectations  in  that  it  was  a  spectacular 
victory  for  Michigan  with  a  final  score  of  four  runs  to  Pennyslvania's  two* 


CLASS  DAY  IN  THE  VARIOUS  SCHOOLS 
AND  COLLEGES 

The  usual  program  of  class  day  exercises  in  the  I^aw  School  and  the 
Colleges  of  Literature,  Science  and  the  Arts  and  Engineering  and  Archi- 
tecture was  opened  by  the  exercises  in  the  I^aw  School,  held  in  Room  C  in 
the  Law  Building  at  two  o'clock  on  Monday  afternoon  of  Commencement 
Week.  The  principal  address  to  the  members  of  the  class  was  delivered  by 
Hon.  Rousseau  A.  Burch,  '85/,  of  the  Supreme  Court  of  the  state  of  Kansas, 
who  spoke  on  "Some  Observations  in  French  Criminal  Procedure.".  Judge 
Burch's  speech  was  a  plea  for  law  reform.  He  described  the  methods  of 
French  procedure,  not  for  their  own  sake  merely,  but  for  the  purposes  of 
comparison  and  contrast  with  our  own  court  procedure.  Charles  William 
Burton,  of  Edwardsville,  111.,  president  of  the  class,  presided  over  the  meet- 
ing, while  another  member,  Selden  S.  Dickinson,  of  Jackson,  furnished  the 
music.  Harold  Reginald  Schradski,  of  Peoria,  111.,  combined  the  functions 
of  class  poet,  prophet,  and  historian  into  one  addrss,  "Through  Rose-Color- 
ed Glasses,"  while  Charles  Walker  Ferguson,  Wayne,  W.  Va.,  delivered  the 
usual  oration. 

The  class  day  exercises  in  the  College  of  Literature,  Science  and  the  Arts 
occurred  under  Tappan  Oak  on  Tuesday  morning  at  ten  o'clock.  Follow- 
ing an  address  by  Harry  G.  Gault,  Flint,  the  president  of  the  class,  the  his- 
tory was  delivered  by  Margaret  Ruth  Foote,  of  Muskegon.    Irving  Edison

Bender,  of  Buffalo,  read  the  class  poem,  Marion  McPherson,  of  Howell, 
delivered  the  prophecy  and  Samuel  Witting,  of  Bottineau,  N.  Dak., 
delivered  the  oration.  The  class  memorial,  a  fund  of  $500  to  be  raised  as  a 
loan  for  needy  senior  literary  students,  was  presented  by  George  Desha 
Johnson,  of  Stonewall,  Texas. 

A  similar  fund  of  $400  to  be  used  for  needy  students  was  left  as  a 
memorial  by  the  senior  engineers,  whose  class  day  exercises  were  held  at 
the  same  time  in  the  court  between  the  Old  Engineering  Building  and  the 
Physics  Building.  Following  the  president's  address  by  Oliver  Wendell 
Hall,  of  Denver,  Carl  V.  Johnson,  of  Vandalia,  delivered  the  class  history, 
and  Herbert  Louis  Bockstahler,  Detroit,  the  class  oration.  The  memorial  was 
presented  by  Gordon  Brown  McCabe,  of  Detroit.  Dean  Cooley,  of  the  Engi- 
neering College,  also  addressed  the  class.    Among  other  things  he  said : 

A  word  about  ourselves  as  a  people  to  illustrate  a  problem  or  two  confronting  us, 
a  heading  for  another  rhapter  in  your  text-book  of  life.  We  have  been  getting  rich 
so  fast,  and  the  dollar  is  so  close  to  our  eyes  we  have  not  been  able  to  see  beyond. 
We  have  no  perspective,  and  so  cannot  see  things  in  their  proper  proportion.  We 
have  unconsciously  gotten  into  the  state  of  the  hasheesh  eater  of  the  East,  and  arc 
content  and  happy  only  when  under  its  intoxicating  influence.  Thus,  if  we  have  hard 
times  we  are  disconsolate  and  want  to  do  something  we  do  not  know  really  what,  to 
put  us  back  in  our  happy  state.  In  other  words,  we  must  be  constantly  stimulated  in 
order  to  live  our  life.  We  all  know  the  end  of  the  morphine  fiend.  Why  not  heed 
the  example  he  sets  for  us  and  apply  it  to  our  business  life. 

Another  fault,  and  this  it  seems  to  me  is  the  most  important  of  all  our  faults,  is 
that  we  are  constantly  trying  -to  cure  whatever  may  be  the  matter  with  us  by  doctoring 
the  pimple.  We  do  not  recognize  that  the  pimple  is  the  result  of  some  disorder  which 
if  corrected  will  cause  the  pimple  to  disappear.  We  resort  to  artificial  means  to 
control  our  life,  ignoring  the  great  natural  forces  which  we  should  be  aiding.  The 
whole  trend  of  modem  education  is  to  get  us  somewhere  quicker.  We  study  with 
our  eyes  on  the  future,  ignoring  the  lessons  of  the  past  We  grow  like  the  spindling 
youth  taller  and  taller,  but  without  breadth  and  solidness. 

So  it  seems  to  me  we  should  not  look  upon  dull  times  as  evils,  but  rather  as  times 
in  which  to  take  stock  and  to  get  a  glimpse  round  about  us. 

What  this  country  needs  most,  as  I  see  it,  is  a  balance  wheel,  something  to  steady 
us,  to  take  away  the  dangerous  peaks  of  our  prosperity  and  transfer  them  to  the  hol- 
lows of  our  adversity. 

In  our  mad  rush  for  individual  supremacy  we  are  forgetting,  or  ignoring,  the 
necessity  for  collective  action,  the  only  way  by  which  we  can  defend  ourselves  against 
evils  which  at  any  time  may  swoop  down  upon  us  like  birds  of  prey.  I  need  not  par- 
ticularize with  examples.  Nature  is  filled  with  them.  But  I  may  mention  one  thing 
of  paramount  importance  in  the  civilized  world  today,  namely,  the  battles  between 
those  who  work  with  their  hands  and  those  who  work  with  their  brains.  The  former 
have  learned  the  strength  of  united  effort,  the  latter  are  beginning  to  learn,  but  still 
fight  their  battles  as  individuals  rather  than  as  organized  forces. 

Is  not  then  the  great  lesson  for  you  young  men  now  going  out  into  the  world  to 
engage  in  the  struggle  with  your  brains  rather  than  with  your  hands — is  not  the  great 
lesson  to  learn  how  to  couple  your  brains  with  the  hands  of  others  that  the  work 
you  engage  in  may  be  brought  to  completion  not  with  the  weakness  of  strife  between 
you,  but  with  the  strength  of  mutual  confidence  and  helpfulness. 

Brain  and  brawn !  both  are  heeded  in  the  battles  of  peace  as  well  as  in  the  battles 
of  war.  Without  this  union  of  brain  and  muscle  there  can  be  no  stability  of  countries 
either  in  time  of  peace  or  of  war.  The  world  has  lived  when  peopled  with  savages 
but  even  then  there  were  brains  in  control.  But  now  that  we  are  civilized  there  is  far 
greater  need  of  co-operation  if  our  civilization  is  to  endure. 

So  I  say  to  you  that  the  one  great  chapter  in  your  text-book  of  life  should  be 
devoted  to  a  study  of  the  forces  that  exist  in  the  great  mass  of  our  people  who  work 
with  their  hands  and  in  the  brains  that  are  being  trained  in  the  colleges  of  our  land. 
These  forces  must  be  directed  to  work,  not  opposed  to  each  other,  but  together,  to

the  end  that  we  may  become  a  stronger  people,  a  better  people,  happier  in  living  the 
life  that  God  has  given  us,  and  that  it  is  ordained  we  must  live  together.  Let  us 
remember  and  cherish  the  words  of  the  great  statesman  and  man,  "United  we  stand, 
divided  we  fall." 

It  is  my  final  wish  for  you  that  each  may  have  a  fair  share  of  the  sunshine  of 
life;  and  that  your  trail  may  be  not  too  smooth,  but  rough  enough  to  bring  out  in 
you  those  rugged  qualities  which  make  all  men  of  character  and  real  worth. 

The  exercises  were  then  concluded  with  the  "Yellow  and  the  Blue." 


THE  STUDENT  ENTERTAINMENT 

Following  the  Baccalaureate  and  the  class  day  exercises  on  Monday  and 
the  Senior  Girls'  Play  on  Monday  evening,  the  annual  senior  reception  was 
held  in  Barbour  Gynuiasium,  with  about  seventy  couples  present.  On  the 
following  evening  the  Senior  Promenade  was  held  as  usual  on  the  Campus, 
where  the  walk  into  University  Hall  and  the  approaches  to  the  Campus  were 
brilliant  with  thousands  of  Japanese  lanterns. 

After  the  promenade,  most  of  the  alumni  attended  the  Students'  Enter- 
tainment given  under  the  auspices  of  the  Michigan  Union  in  Hill  Auditor- 
ium at  8 :30  P.  M.  The  first  item  on  the  program  consisted  of  a  number  of 
selections  by  the  University  of  Michigan  Band.  Various  phases  of  student 
life  were  then  shown  in  moving  pictures,  which  were  much  appreciated.  A 
skit,  **Alice's  Adventures  in  Michigan,"  was  presented  by  a  number  of 
University  women.    The  cast  was  as  follows : 

Alice  Adele  Crandell,  *I7 

Mad  Hatter  Mary  Lewis,  '15 

March  Hare   Ethel  Buzby,  *I5 

Humpty  Ehimpty   Honora  Fogerty,  '15 

Professor    Dorothy   Roehm,  '15 

Dormouse   Marion  Robertson,  '15 

Soph.  Medic   Helen  Burlingham,  '15 

Views  of  the  proposed  Michigan  Union  Building  were  then  thrown  upon 
the  screen,  and  explained  by  the  architect,  Mr.  I.  K.  Pond,  '79^,  of  Chicago. 
Mr.  Walter  E.  Oxtoby,  '98/,  of  Detroit,  also  explained  in  a  few  words  the 
aims  and  purposes  of  the  Union.  The  program  was  completed  by  "The  Yel- 
low and  the  Blue,"  led  by  Selden  S.  Dickinson,  '13,  '15/,  of  Jackson,  at  the 
organ.

ATHLETICS 


SOME  DISCIPUNARY  MEASURES  AND  A 
STUDENT  CREED 

A  "purity  committee"  composed  of  stu- 
dents tried  in  June  by  means  of  affidavits 
showing  that  several  members  of  the  team 
had  played  professional  ball  to  force  the 
Board  in  Control  of  Athletics  to  endorse 
summer  baseball,  by  proving  that  many  of 
the  players  were  ineligible  under  the  present 
rules.  The  Board,  however,  refused  to 
consider  such  an  endorsement,  inasmuch  as 
the  act  would  mean  practically  athletic 
suicide,  as  far  as  baseball  was  concerned, 
since  the  majority  of  .Michigan's  opponents 
are  opposed  to  summer  ball. 

With  the  proofs  furnished,  an  investiga- 
tion was  then  begun  by  the  eligibility  com- 
mittee of  the  Board  which  resulted  in  the 
expulsion  of  two  members  from  the  team 
and  one  member  from  the  squad.  Frank 
W.  Sheehy,  a  member  of  the  senior  engi- 
neering class,  of  Yale,  Mich.,  was  removed 
from  the  team,  stripped  of  the  two  **M"s 
he  had  already  won,  and  suspended  from 
the  University  for  one  semester.  Dale  R. 
Maltby,  '16^,  of  Kalamazoo,  was  also  re- 
moved from  the  team,  stripped  of  the  All- 
Fresh  numerals  he  had  previously  won,  and 
placed  on  probation  by  the  Engineering 
Faculty,  while  Thomas  R.  McNamara,  '16/, 
of  Mt.  Pleasant,  was  removed  from  the 
squad  for  the  balance  of  the  year.  The 
Board  completely  exonerated  Captain  Ed- 
mon  P.  McQueen,  '15^,  of  Lowell,  second 
baseman,  and  several  former  players.  Ath- 
letic Director  Bartelme  and  members  of 
the  team  involved  indirectly. 

In  taking  this  decisive  action,  the  Board 
in  Control  made  plain  the  fact  that  in  the 
future  a  rigid  enforcement  of  the  eligibility 
rules  must  be  lived  up  to  by  Michigan 
players. 

As  a  result  of  the  agitation  on  this  ques- 
tion, eighteen  representative  students  for- 
mulated a  "Creed  for  Michigan  'Men," 
which  we  are  very  glad  to  publish  below. 

A  CREED  FOR  MICHIGAN  MEN. 

Wc  believe  in  the  University  of  Michigan. 

We  believe  in  our  Alumni,  who  have  shared  in 
Michigan's  noble  achievements  in  the  past,  created 
and  preserved  her  traditions  of  honor  and  man- 
hood, and  transmitted  to  us  as  our  chief  inheri- 
Unce  the  sense  of  Michigan's  greatness  and  in- 
corruptible purity. 

We  believe  in  our  Studtat  Body,  in  its  loyalty 
to  Michigan's  welfare,  iu  devotion  to  her  ideals, 
and  its  jealousy  of  her  honor. 


We  believe  that  no  Michigan  student  would 
knowingly  or  willingly  do  or  assent  to  any  act 
that  might  tarnish  Michigan's  reputation  or 
diminish  her  usefulness.  And  we  believe  in  the 
potency  of  Michigan  Spirit  to  preserve  this  loyalty 
in  all  future  generations  of  students. 

We  believe  in  the  great  end  for  which  the 
University  exists:  to  serve  the  state  and  the 
nation  by  training  us  for  useful  and  unselfish 
citizenship;  and  we  believe  in  our  student  activi- 
ties as  valuable  aids  to  the  University  in  perform- 
ing this  service. 

We  believe  in  clean  athletic  sports  and  whole- 
some competition  among  ourselves  and  with 
friendly  rivals  as  necessary  adjuncts  to  our  work 
in  the  classroom,  library  and  laboratory  and  we 
believe  in  them  as  corrective  of  the  confinement 
of  close  and  exhausting  study,  as  stimulating  to 
the  social  intercourse  which  is  an  invaluable  part 
of  college  life^  and  as  a  powerful  agent  for  good 
in  the  promoting  of  Michigan  spirit  and  Michigan 
manhood. 

We*believe  in  Fair  Play. 

We  believe  that  there  is  no  disgrace  in  being 
fairly  beaten,  but  that  it  is  shameful  to  win  by 
dishonest  means. 

We  believe  that  our  opponents  are  above  dis- 
honesty of  any  description,  and  we  expect  them 
to  believe  in  us. 

We  believe  that  the  right  and  the  wrong  in 
manly  sports  are  easily  distinguishable,  and  that 
the  tendency  to  compromise  is  cowardly  and  dis- 
loyal, and  we  believe  that  wilful  deception  and 
sophistical  argument  in  these  matters  are  alike 
deleterious  to  our  moral  character  and  dangerous 
to  the  welfare  of  the  University  and  the  student 
community. 

We  believe  that  in  the  present  unsettled  state 
of  athletic  ideals  it  is  the  plain  duty  of  this  and 
all  universities,  as  leaders  of  the  intellectual  and 
moral  life  of  the  nation,  to  stand  firmly  for  all 
that  is  highest  and  best.  We  believe  that  it  is 
the  plain  duty  of  the  individual  student  to  render 
it  impossible  for  his  college  to  err  from  this  pur- 
pose; and  we  believe  that  he  should  gladly  sacri- 
fice his  personal  interests  and  ambitions  if  they 
antagonize  this  end,  and  that  he  should  mistrust 
his  judgment  if  it  dissents  from  this  ideal. 

Believing  that  only  thus  can  the  honor  of  the 
University  be  conserved;  and  believing  that  strict 
adherence  to  the  letter  and  spirit  of  our  rules  for 
amateurism  is  absolutely  necessary,  therefore 

We  pledge  ourselves, 

Not  to  depart  from  strict  conformity  to  the 
spirit  of  amateur  athletics,  not  to  encourage  or 
connive  at  or  permit  departure  therefrom  by  our 
fellow  students  if  we  can  in  any  way  prevent  it. 
And  we  pledge  ourselves  to  furnish  all  aid  possible 
to  the  proper  authorities  to  keep  Michigan  s  name 
free  from  the  taint  of  secret  professionalism  and 
dishonesty.

THE  COMMENCEMENT  GAMES-MICH- 
IGAN DEFEATS  PENNSYLVANIA 

The  Varsity  baseball  team  came  into 
its  own  in  the  final  three  games  of  the 
year.  The  two  Pennsylvania  games,  staged 
before  large  crowds  of  alumni,  were  fitting 
finales  to  the  season.  In  these  two  battles 
Michigan  presented  the  strength  which  the 
critics  had  credited  her  with  all  during  the 
year.  The  Quaker  pitchers  were  unable  to 
stem  the  tide  of  defeat  in  either  game,  for 
the  Michigan  batters  were  hitting  the  ball 
almost  at  will. 

Sisler  pitched  the  first  game  and  Fergu- 
son the  second.  The  Wolverine  who  is 
now  a  Brown  was  master  of  the  situation 
all  through  his  tenure  in  the  box,  while 
Ferguson  was  invulnerable  after  he  had 
passed  through  a  few  bad  innings  right  at 
the  start.  Sisler  was  the  star.  In  the  first 
game  he  batted  for  a  perfect  percentage, 
making  four  hits  out  of  four  times  at  the 
plate.  In  the  second  game  he  hit  safely 
three  times  out  of  four.  Coimting  in  his 
last  three  appearances  in  the  Alumni  game, 
Sisler  hit  safely  nine  successive  times 
in  his  last  three  games  for  Michigan.  And 
his  tenth  clout  at  the  ball  should  have 
rotmded  out  a  perfect  average,  hut  the 
Pennsy  center  fielder  was  playing  way  back 
by  the  tennis  court,  and  he  was  able  to  get 
under  a  hit  which  would  ordinarily  have 
gone  for  a  triple. 

To  top  off  this  performance  at  the  plate. 
Sisler  managed  to  steal  five  bases  in  the 
closing  game.  Twice  he  stole  third  base 
."and  once  he  stole  home.  The  theft  of  the 
plate  came  while  Catcher  Dolan  of  Pennsy 
was  holding  the  ball,  waiting  for  Sisler. 
The  hook  slide  was  successful,  however, 
and  Sisler  was  safe. 

Nothing  could  stop  Michigan  in  the  first 
game,  and  they  won  10  to  o.  The  team 
gathered  a  total  of  11  hits,  and  by  combin- 
ing this  with  some  clever  base  rupning  and 
a  couple  of  Penn  errors,  had  no  difficulty 
in  amassing  a  record  score. 


The  second  tilt  was  closer.  Ferguson 
persisted  in  passing  a  man  an  inning  for 
the  first  part  of  the  game.  Pennsy  managed 
to  hold  the  Varsity  to  a  tie  for  four  in- 
nings, but  then  the  Wolverines  went  out 
and  amassed  two  runs,  and  kept  this  4  to  2 
lead  until  the  end.  Ferguson  was  invincible 
as  soon  as  his  men  had  given  him  a  margin.

THE  ALUMNI  GAME.  JUNE  19 

Blanding,  a  former  Varsity  pitcher  now 
with  the  Cleveland  American  league  team, 
possessed  no  terrors  for  Michigan  batters 
in  the  annual  Varsity-Alumni  game  on  the 
Saturday  before  Commencement  The  old- 
timers  lost  to  the  youngsters  by  the  score 
of  12  to  2,  in  a  game  which  was  a  good 
contest  for  five  innings. 

In  the  6th  the  "fireworks"  started,  and 
from  that  point  on  Blanding  was  chiefly 
engaged  in  dodging  the  hard-hit  balls  which 
the  Wolverines  were  sending  safely  down 
through  him.  It  was  a  veritable  avalanche 
of  safe  hits,  and  the  Ahimni  were  com- 
pelled to  watch  the  Varsity  players  chase 
each  other  across  the  plate. 

In  the  last  part  of  the  game  Utley  came 
into  the  box,  but  he  fared  but  little  better. 

Michigan  struck  her  real  batting  stride 
in  this  game,  and  the  few  students  w^o 
were  left  behind  enjoyed  the  sight  for 
which  they  had  been  longing  all  season. 
Nineteen  hits  were  gathered  in  by  the 
Varsity  players,  with  nearly  every  man  on 
the  team  getting  his  share.  Of  the  Alumni, 
only  three,  Mitchell,  Blanding  and  Hughitt, 
were  able  to  even  touch  the  ball.  Sisler, 
Ferguson  and  Davidson  took  turns  in  the 
box  for  the  Varsity,  Sisler  refusing  to  al- 
low even  the  semBlance  of  a  safe  swat. 

The  following  is  the  score  of  the  catas- 
trophe :

MICHIGAN  SIXTH  IN  THE  INTER. 
COLLEGIATE 

Three  Michigan  men*  Captain  Smith, 
Carroll  and  Wilson  put  the  Varsity  into  a 
tie  for  sixth  place  in  the  1915  IntercoK 
legiate  track  meet,  with  Smith  and  Mere- 
dith on  a  par  for  the  individual  honors  of 
the  classic  event. 

Smith  took  both  dashes,  and  he  won  each 
time  with  ease.  The  eastern  critics  were 
generous  in  their  praise  of  the  form  shown 
by  Michigan's  captain.  O'Brien,  his  team- 
mate in  the  dashes,  survived  all  of  th« 
preliminaries  and  semi-finals  in  the  100- 
yard  dash  and  seemed  sure  to  place  in  the 
finals.  But  he  ran  his  poorest  race  in  this 
crucial  event,  and  was  forced  to  take  sixth 
place.  Carroll  won  third  place  in  the  mile 
run,  an  event  which  Captain  MacKenzie  of 
Princeton  surprised  everybody  by  taking. 
The  Michigan  man  was  back  until  the  last 
300  yards,  and  then  he  started  a  sprint 
which  carried  him  far  toward  the  front  at 
the  end  of  the  event. 

Wilson,  vaulting  a  whole  foot  lower  than 
he  accomplished  m  his  trials  the  day  be- 
fore, was  forced  to  be  content  with  fifth 
place  in  the  pole  vault.  The  vaulting  on 
the  final  day  of  the  meet  was  particularly 
poor,  Wilson's  height  being  only  11   feet.

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[August 


Cornell  won  the  meet  easily  with  the  best- 
balanced  team  which  she  has  ever  produced. 
Cornell  athletes  won  only  two  first  places, 
but  they  gathered  so  many  points  in  every 
event  that  their  total,  45J/2,  ran  far  ahead  of 
the  others.  Harvard  was  second  with  26, 
Yale  was  third  with  25  and  Princeton  and 
Pennsylvania  tied  for  fourth  with  21.  Dart- 
mouth was  tied  with  Michigan  for  the  next 
place. 


TRACK  AND  BASEBALL  "Nfa  AWARDED 

Under  the  new  rules  governing  the  award 
of  the  Varsity  track  letter,  eight  members 
of  the  1915  Michigan  team  rec^ved  the 
coveted  "M",  in  a  year  in  which  only  half 
of  that  nunrber  would  have  been  successful 
under  the  old  rules. 

Captain  Smith,  Carroll  and  Wilson  re- 
ceived the  **M",  together  with  the  Inter- 
collegiate stripe.  Corbin  and  Cross  received 
the  letter  by  virtue  of  their  performances 
during  the  dual  meets,  while  Ufer,  Fox 
and  Donnelly  were  given  the  insignia  be- 
cause of  their  work  on  the  Michigan  4-mile 
relay  team. 

Under  the  new  ruJes,  the  award  was  made 
by  a  committee  consisting  of  Captain  Smith, 
Coach  Farrell  and  Director  Bartelme.  The 
change  was  madfe  by  the  Board  in  Control  of 
Athletics  at  a  recent  session,  and  was  de- 
signed to  do  away  with  the  evils  of  the  old 
system  and  make  it  more  possible  for  th€ 
rank  and  file  of  the  track  team  to  win  the 
coveted  letter. 

Eleven  men,  the  smallest  number  in  many 
years,  were  given  the  Varsity  baseball  let- 
ter at  the  close  of  the  1915  season.  The 
inroads  accomplished  by  the  work  of  the 
**purity  committee,"  and  which  resulted  in 
the  banishment  of  Sheehy,  Maltby  and  Mc- 
Namara  from  the  squad,  cut  down  the 
normal  list  of  awards. 

Those  who  received  the  awards  besides 
the  players  participating  in  the  last  Penn- 
sylvania game  were  Davidson  and  Neimann. 
The  others  were  Captain  McQueen,  Laba- 
die,  Brandell,  Stewart,  Shivel,  Waltz,  Fer- 
guson, Sisler  and  Benton. 

Immediately  following  the  second  Penn- 
sylvania game,  George  Labadie.  outfielder 
on  the  nine  throughout  the  entire  season, 
was  selected  as  captain  of  the  1916  team. 
His  selection  was  uniformly  popular  on  the 
Campus. 


FOOTBALL  PROSPECTS 

Although  no  official  call  has  as  yet  been 
issued,  it  is  practically  certain  that  the 
Varsity  football  candidates  will  gather  on 
Ferry  Field  on  September  20th  for  the  be- 
ginning of  the  fall  gridiron  practice. 

Coach  Yost  set  that  time  for  the  opening 
of  drill  when  he  was  in  Ann  Arbor  for  the 


spring  practice.  No  word  to  the  contrary- 
having  been  received  from  Tennessee,  the 
athletic  authorities  are  preparing  to  arrange 
for  the  opening  of  the  1915  training  period 
on  the  above  date.  Last  year  the  squad 
under  Captain  Raynsford  started  their  prac- 
tice two  weeks  earlier  than  this  time.  But 
last  fall  the  opening  of  classes  came  one 
week  ahead  of  the  time  this  year,  and  the 
scheduling  of  the  Harvard  game  induced 
Yost  to  add  a  third  week  to  the  preliminary 
training. 

This  year  the  schedule  is  not  as  hard,  and 
so  the  two  weeks  practice  season  has  been 
ordered.  Approximately  forty  tncn  are  to 
be  invited  to  report,  and  the  training  quar- 
ters will  be  at  the  Michigan  Union  club 
house,  unless  some  arrangements  to  the 
contrary  are  made  before  the  first  of  next 
month. 

Captain  William  Cochran  was  confident 
last  spring  that  nearly  all  of  the  men  who 
would  be  invited  back  would  be  sure  to  at- 
tend. There  will  be  several,  however,  who 
will  be  forced  to  remain  in  their  summer 
positions  until  the  very  last  moment.  »Some 
of  the  candidates  are  attending  Stmmier 
School  this  month,  and  the  shortness  of 
their  vacation  will  probably  mean  that  they 
will  ask  for  additional  leeway.  This  will 
probably  be  granted  by  Yost  and  Captain 
Cochran. 

All  of  Yost's  backfield  material  took  foot- 
balls home  with  them  this  summer,  and  they 
are  engaged  now  in  kicking  and  passing 
practice.  This  drill,  tried  last  summer,  was 
found  so  successful  that  the  coach  ordered 
it  repeated  this  year. 


MAJOR  LEAGUE  TEAMS  TAKE  SISLER 
AND  FERGUSON 

Two  Varsity  baseball  players  graduated 
this  spring  into  major  league  circles,  the 
pitchers  Sisler  and  Ferguson  going  into  the 
**big  company,"  as  the  baseball  writers 
term  it. 

George  Sisler  is  now  a  member  of  the 
St.  Louis  American  League  team,  whidi  is 
managed  by  Branch  Rickey,  coach  of  the 
Michigan  nine  in  1913.  Rickey  has  taken 
several  Michigan  players,  among  them  be- 
ing Johnny  Lavan  and  Rodgers,  the  catcher. 
Lavan  is  now  a  regular  on  the  Browns, 
playing  short  stop  in  practically  every 
game,  and  he  is  making  good.  The  other 
ipi5  Varsity  man  to  go  up  was  Charles 
Ferguson,  who  went  to  the  Detroit  Tigers. 

Since  his  advent  into  major  league 
circles,  Sisler  has  been  pronounced  by  many 
as  one  of  the  greatest  college  players  to 
come  into  big  league  baseball.  Sisler  start- 
ed out  in  the  box,  then  played  first  base, 
then  right  field,  and  is  now  doing  all  tliree, 
turn  and  turn  about.    His  fielding  has  been

of  the  sensational  variety,  and  his  hitting 
has  stamped  him  as  an  invaluable  man. 
Ferguson  has  not  yet  been  given  a  thorough 
trial. 


SMITH  AND  WILSON  COMPETING  AT 
SAN  FRANCISCO 

Captain  Harold  Smith,  the  leader  of  the 
Michigan  1915  Varsity  track  team  and  the 
one  selected  as  captain  of  the  1916  squad, 
is  one  of  the  two  Michigan  men  competing 
in  San  Francisco  in  the  big  track  meet  in 
the  Exposition  City  this  summer.  The 
other  is  Wilson,  the  pole  vaulter,  who  will 
enter  under  the  colors  of  the  'Los  Angeles 
Athletic  Club. 

Smith  was  selected  from  out  of  an  all- 
star  group  of  athletes  w'ho  competed  in 
trials  last  month  at  Chicago.  He  won  the 
lOO-yard  dash  in  the  trials,  and  also  placed 


high  in  the  220-yard  event.  To  win  the 
century  sprint  he  had  to  beat  such  men  as 
Joe  Loomis  and  Ward,  the  latter  the  Chi- 
cago University  sprinter  who.  won  the  Wes- 
tern Conference  dashes  in  record  time. 
Smith  will  compete  in  iSan  Francisco  under 
the  colors  of  the  Chicago  Athletic  Asso- 
ciation. 

Smith  and  Carroll  were  the  only  Mich- 
igan men  to  win  places  in  the  Central 
A.  A.  U.  meet  in  Chicago  on  July  3rd. 
Smith  took  second  to  Loomis  in  the  loo- 
yard  dash  and  won  the  220  event.  Carroll 
was  fourth  in  the  mile  run,  Joie  Ray  taking 
this  race  in  record  time.  Several  other 
Michigan  men  competed  in  the  meet  but 
the  events  were  of  a  high  order,  with  both 
college  stars  and  graduates  entered,  and  the 
Wolverines  were  unable  to  garner  more 
honors  than  were  earned  by  Captain  Smith 
and  Carroll. 


THE  REGENTS'  MEETING 

It  is  timed  in  this  section  to  ^ive  a  report  of  every  action  taken  by  the  Regents  of  general  interest.

effect  after  the  coining  summer.  The  offer  which 
the  Board  of  Regents  was  good  enough  to  make 
me  at  their  last  meeting  I  naturally  could  not 
accept,  since  it  did  not  agree  with  what  I  had 
previouslv  felt  I  must  ask  for.  Since  you  and 
Dean  Emnger  have  seen  the  correspondence  with 
Stanford  University  in  which  their  offer  was  made, 
and  since  the  essential  part  of  it  was  in  your 
hands  during  the  last  Regents*  meeting,  you  will 
readily  appreciate  the  situation  in  which  I  have 
found  myselL 

Yours  very  sincerely, 

John  S.  P.  Tatlock.

expenses  and  new  equipment,  and  that  hereafter 
all  classifications  between  equipment  and  current 
expenses  shall  be  made  in  the  Secretary's  office. 
At  the  end  of  each  fiscal  year  the  net  balances  of 
appropriations  for  equipment  shall  as  now,  be 
carried  over  to  the  credit  of  the  department  for 
the  succeeding  year. 

—The  Board  authorized  the  purchase  at 
the  price  of  $330,  of  the  collection  of  birds 
owned  by  Dean  W.  B.  Hinsdale.  It  was 
understood  that  the  collection  should  in- 
clude a  specimen  of  the  passenger  pigeon. — 
Following  the  requests  of  several  seniors 
that  certain  changes  in  their  names  from 
the  form  in  which  they  originally  registered 
be  made  in  the  diplomas,  Professor  iDem^ 
mon  was  asked  to  formulate  for  the  con- 
sideration of  the  Board  rules  governing 
requests  for  changes  in  names  on  Uni- 
versity student  records,  including  diplomas. 
— The  question  of  the  purchase  of  news- 
papers, referred  at  the  May  meeting  to  the 
Budget  Committee  was  referred  to  Regent

Dear  Sir:— 

At  one  of  the  sessions  of  the  short-term  institute 

S'ven  under  the  direction  of  the  University  of 
ichigan  and  the  State  Superintendent  of  Public 
Instruction.  I  was  authorized  to  write  ^ou  in  the 
name  of  the  Superintendents  and  Prmcipals  of 
Michigan  in  attendance  upon  this  Institute,  ex- 
pressing our  great,  appreciation  at  the  unusual 
opportunity  which  was  afforded  us  to  receive  in- 
formation concerning  the  most  important  and  pro- 
gressive investigations  along  educational  lines 
peculiarly  pertaining  to  the  work  of  our  profes- 
sion. It  was  the  unanimous  opinion  of  those  in 
attendance  that  great  good  had  been  accomplished 
and  that  it  would  be  highly  desirable  if  such  in- 
stitutes could  be  held  each  year.  The  enthusiasm 
with  which  this  institute  was  received,  assured, 
I  think,  a  greatly  increased  attendance  next  year. 

In  addition  to  expressing  the  feeling  of  those  in 
attendance.  I  ^vish  to  add  my  personal  hearty 
commendation  to  those  who  originated  and  were 
able  to  carry  out  this  plan.  The  Superintendents 
and  Principals  of  the  State  are  looking  forward 
with  eager  anticipation  to  the  announcement  of 
the  plans  for  the  next  short-term  institute. 
Very  truly  yours,

have  been  held  for  several  years  past. 

The  camp  is  to  be  held  under  the  direct 
supervision  of  officers  of  the  United  States 
Army,  with  the  purpose  of  giving  business 
and  professional  men  of  military  age  an 
opportunity  to  qualify  themselves  for  effi-

struction is  designed  to  qualify  educated 
men  to  act  as  commissioned  officers  in  case

the  four  weeks  will  not  be  over  $40.00.

also  on  the  program,  with  a  sufficient  sup- 
ply of  prizes.  At  five  o'clock  a  bathing 
party  was  heW,  and  at  six  a  fried  chicken

day.

On  the  evening  of  May  25,  the  Associa-

moving  picture  films  of  the  University, 
prepared  by  the  General  Alumni  Associa- 
tion, to  the  alumni  and  the  general  public. 
An  audience  of  about  two  hundred  gather- 
ed in  the  high  school  auditorium  in  Oma-ha, 
and  thoroughly  enjoyed  every  reel,  as  was 
evidenced  by  frequent  enthusiastic  applause. 
The  football  pictures  were  pronounced  the 
best  ever  seen  here.  In  the  afternoon  of 
the  same  day,  the  Association  showed  the 
pictures  in  the  high  school  auditorium, 
with  a  large  number  of  the  junior  and 
senior  classes  present.  They  were  received 
with  great  interest  and  many  favorable 
comments  were  made.  We  believe  that 
this  move  will  be  instrumental  in  obtaining 
a  number  of  new  students  for  Michigan.

complete  as  i>ossibIe,  the  cooperation  of  subscribers  is  solicited.  Let  deaths  be  reported  promptly  as 
they  occur,  with  date  and  place.  Be  careful  to  distinguish  between  fact  and  rumor.  In  sending  news-

space  when  sent  to  The  Alumnus.

OBITUARIES 


EDWARD  CHAUNCEY  PITKIN 

Edward  Chauncey  Pitkin,  whose  death 
was  recorded  in  the  March  Alumnus,  was 
bom  March  11,  1862,  in  Ann  Arbor,  (Mich- 
igan, where  his  early  boyhood  was  spent. 
He  entered  the  University  in  1880,  with  the 
class  of  '84,  remaining  for  three  years.  In 
1884  he  again  enrolled  in  the  University, 
where  he  spent  the  two  years  to  1886. 
Shortly  after  leaving  school  he  became  a 
member  of  the  engineering  party  which 
surveyed  the  Northern  Paciific  Railway 
through  the  western  wilds  and  Rocky 
Mountains  to  the  Pacific  Coast.  He  then 
entered  the  services  of  the  Santa  Fe  at 
Kansas  City,  Mo.,  being  transferred  to 
Galveston,  Tex.,  in  1889,  where  the  re- 
mainder of  his  life  was  spent.  In  June, 
1898.  Mr.  Pitkin  was  married  to  Miss  Vir- 
ginia B.  Redmond,  of  Galveston,  who,  with 
one  daughter,  survives  hi-m.  Mr.  Pitkin 
had  for  years  been  prominent  in  the  Ma- 
sonic organization  in  Galveston,  holding 
many  offices.  He  was  also  for  many  years 
a  vestryman  of  the  Grace  Episcopal  Church 
in  Galveston.  In  1907,  while  on  a  trip  to 
the  Pacific  C^ast,  Mr.  Pitkin  suffered  a 
stroke  of  paralysis,  brought  on  by  over- 
work and  mental  strain,  and  since  that  time 
had  been  almost  continuously  confined  to 
his  home.    He  died  on  February  17,  1915. 


FREDRICWINTHROP  RAMSDELL 

Frederic  Winthrop  Ramsdell,  recognized 
as  one  of  America's  exceptional  landscape 
artists,  was  born  in  Manistee,  Michigan, 
December  9,  1866,  and  died  there  at  the 
home  of  his  parents,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  T.  J. 
Ramsdell,  May  27,  1915.  After  going 
through  the  public  schools  at  Manistee,  he 
attended  for  a  year,  '84-'8s,  the  Literary 
College  of  the  University.  He  went  then 
to  New  York,  for  work  at  the  Art  League, 
and  later  to  Europe,  where  he  spent  in 
study  and  travel  the  greater  part  of  ten 
or  twelve  years.  He  studied  chiefly  at 
Paris,  especially  at  the  Beaux  Arts,  and  for 
a  considerable  time  under  Raphael  Collin. 
Returning  to  America,  he  worked  for  some 
time  at  Manistee,  but  in  recent  years  made 
his  home  mainly  at  Lyme,  Connecticut,  in 
the  midst  of  the  group  of  artists  residing 
there.  Applying  himself  cheerfully  and 
courageously  despite  physical  ill,  he  was 
becoming  constantly  more  productive,  and 
gave  increasing  promise  of  the  highest 
achievement  He  left  an  abiding  impres- 
sion, however,  scarcely  more  by  his  art 
than  by  a  peculiarly  human  and  appealing 
personality,  wiiich  drew  to  him  an  always 
widening  circle  of  friends. 

Mr.  Ramsdell  married  in  1894,  sit  St. 
Ives,  Cornwall,  Miss  Edith  John.  'Mrs. 
Ramsdell  and  two  children.  Gene  and 
Roger,  survive  him.  E.  W,  D.

work  on  the  Athenian  White  Lekythoi. 
The  first  volume  appeared  in  1907  as  Vol- 
ume VI  of  the  Humanistic  Series  of  the 
University  of  Michigan  Studies,  under  the 
title:  "Athenian  Lekythoi  with  Outline 
Drawing  in  Glaze  Varnish  on  a  White 
Ground."  The  present  volume  concludes 
the  author's  program  as  outlined  in  the 
Introduction  to  Volume  VI.  An  Appendix 
of  20  pages  supplies  material  overlooked  in 
the  former  volume  or  newly  discovered 
since  its  publication. 

The  table  giving  "the  classification  of  the 
white  lekythoi  with  drawing  in  matt  color" 
(Classes  ix  —  xvi)  (page  vi)  is  the  result 
of  much  discriminating  labor — a  continua- 
tion, with  fuller  details,  of  the  correspond- 
ing table  of  the  preceding  eight  classes  of 
Volume  VI.  The  sixteen  classes  are 
brought  together  conveniently  in  one  clear 
conspectus,  pages  vii  —  ix. 

After  a  very  brief  Introduction,  setting 
forth  concisely  the  distinguishing  features 
of  the  classes  ix  —  xvi,  Dr.  Fairbanks  pro- 
ceeds with  the  main  part  of  his  work, 
bringing  the  extant  white  lecythi  (which 
with  him  are  consistently  "lekythoi"),  one 
after  another,  into  their  proper  places  in 
his  general  classification  with  its  appro- 
priate subseries.  Each  vase  is  listed  with 
its  present  place  of  preservation,  with  offi- 
cial catalogue  number,  provenience  (if 
known),  size,  and,  if  previously  published, 
citation  of  the  publication ;  the  vase  is  then 
described  succinctly  but  fully,  and  the  de- 
scription is  followed  by  a  critical  discus- 
sion of  the  prominent  features  of  style, 
technique,  composition,  color,  etc.  At  the 
conclusion  of  each  subdivision  and  of  each 
class  the  author  gives  a  careful  analysis  of 
the  distinguishing  characteristics  of  that 
particular  group  of  lecythi  as  to  form,  size, 
technique,  style,  composition,  content,  col- 
oring, decoration,  relative  date,  etc. 

The  general  conclusion  at  the  end  ana- 
lyzes with  good  taste  and  scholarly  acumen 
the  scenes  depicted  on  the  vases  according 
to  their  subjects:  scenes  without  stele  and 
without  direct  reference  to  death,  scenes 
with  Charon  in  his  boat,  scenes  of  mourn- 
ing over  the  bier,  burial  scenes,  scenes  at 
the  grave — offerings  brought  to  the  grave, 


the  flitting  spirit  of  the  deceased,  the  de- 
parted as  if  in  life,  etc.  The  relation  also 
of  these  scenes  to  similar  representations 
on  sculptured  tombstones,  monumental 
paintings,  black  and  red  figured  vases,  etc., 
is  here  discussed. 

The  two  volumes  on  the  white  lecythi  arc 
not  books  for  the  entertainment  of  the  gen- 
eral reader  but  a  treasury  of  classified  in- 
formation for  the  earnest  student  of  Greek 
ceramics  or  of  Greek  art  The  world  of 
scholars  is  indebted  not  only  to  Dr.  Fair- 
banks for  performing  the  difficult  task  so 
thoroughly  and  acceptably  but  also  to  the 
Hon.  Peter  White  and  to  John  M.  Long- 
year^  "Esq.,  for  their  generous  assistance, 
makmg  the  publication  of  the  work  possible. 

Four  well  organized  Indices  add  greatly 
to  the  serviceableness  of  the  book,  while  the 
41  plates,  with  their  130  photographic  re- 
productions of  white  lecythoi,  afford  rich 
illustrative  material  for  the  various  classes 
of  the  vases  presented  in  the  body  of  the 
work. 

There  is  nothing  of  importance  to  which 
the  reviewer  would  take  exception.  Only 
one  misprint  has  been  detected :  Die  attische 
for  (die  attischen)  Grabreliefs  (page  217, 
footnote  i);  "as  though  the  foot  wa/' 
(page  218)  is  an  obvious  inadvertence. 
In  accord  with  common  practice  of  today, 
there  is  glaring  inconsistency  in  the  trans- 
literation of  Greek  works:  lekythoi (  con- 
sistently) and  paidagogos,  but  oenochoe 
(varying  with  oinochoe)  and  taeniae  (con- 
sistently) ;  anthemion  and  alabastron,  but 
tympanum,  while  acroterion  is  a  strange, 
unhappy  compromise;  Zephyros  (page  16), 
but  Polygnotus  (page  219) ;  ephebos,  but 
acanthus  H>assim) ;  Cerameicus  and  pei- 
raeus  (both  occurring  frequently)  are 
neither  Greek  nor  Latin  nor  English  in 
their  present  guise  and  jar  uncomfortably.

HISTORY  OF  ENGLAND  AND  GREATER 
BRITAIN 

Professor  Cross's  "A  History  of  England 
and  Greater  Britain"  is  one  of  the  best 
and  most  comprehensive  one-volume  his- 
tories of  the  British  Empire  that  has  ap-

peared  in  recent  years.  The  plan  of  the 
work  especially  is  to  be  commended,  for 
the  author  has  not  made  the  mistake  of 
allowing  so  much  space  to  the  early  his- 
tory of  England  that  he  has  little  to  give  to 
that  of  modern  times.  The  history  of  the 
country  to  the  Norman  Conquest  is  covered 
in  75  pages,  while  over  800  pages  are  de- 
voted to  tiie  430  years  since  the  accession 
of  Henry  VII.  Fully  a  third  of  the  book 
is  given  up  to  a  consideration  of  the  events 
of  the  last  165  yiears  of  English  history. 

The  narrative  flows  along  smoothly  and 
is  enlivened  by  a  wealth  of  picturesque 
anecdotes  and  interesting  quotations  from 
the  sources  and  from  modern  works  deal- 
ing with  the  various  periods.  The  anec- 
dotes told  are  characteristic  of  the  work 
and  give  proof  of  the  author's  extensive 
reading  of  memoirs,  diaries  and  other 
sources  seldom  used  in  a  work  of  this  na- 
ture. Very  often  they  give  just  the  touch 
necessary  for  a  clear  understanding  of  the 
character  portrayed.  The  political  and  con- 
stitutional history  of  England  is  treated 
with  a  fullness  and  detail  that  is  not  often 
met  with  outside  of  large  general  works  or 
those  devoted  to  a  particular  period.  In- 
deed it  may  be  questioned  whether  there  is 
not  too  much  detail  for  a  work  covering 
the  entire  history  of  England,  for  the  larg- 
er factors  of  history  are  apt  to  be  obscured. 
From  the  point  of  view  of  the  ordinary 
reader  the  most  interesting  and  valuable 
parts  of  the  work  are  the  eight  general 
chapters  dealing  with  the  social,  economic 
and  intellectual  characteristics  of  each 
period.  In  these  chapters  Professor  Cross 
takes  up  in  a  most  entertaining  fashion 
such  topics  as  the  development  of  trade  and 
industry,  agricultural  progress,  the  social 
classes,  life  in  town  and  country,  and  the 
intellectual  progress  of  the  period.  The 
progress  of  science  and  art,  architecture 
and  music  is  not  neglected. 

The  treatment  of  the  foreign  relations 
of  Great  Britain,  particularly  in  the  nine- 
teenth and  twentieth  centuries,  is  very 
food.  The  influence  of  such  events  as  the 
ranco-Prussian  War,  the  Russo-Japanese 
War.  and  the  Turco-Italian  War  upon 
parties  and  policies  in  England  is  clearly 
shown.  The  genealogical  tables  of  Eng- 
lish dynasties  and  noble  families,  and  of 
French  and  Scotch  rulers  are  very  helpful, 
but  a  table  showing  the  relationship  of  the 
present-day  rulers  of  European  states  to 
the  ruling  house  of  England  is  unfortunate- 
ly lacking.  It  would  have  been  very  wel- 
come during  tbe  present  crisis. 

Professor  Cross's  work  has  the  very 
great  merit  of  being  the  most  down- 
to-date  history  of  England  to  be  found. 
It  brings  the  record  of  events-  down  to  the 


summer  of  1914,  and  recounts  such  recent 
occurrences  as  the  passing  of  the  Irish 
Home  Rule  Bill  and  the  Welsh  Disestab- 
lishment Bill,  and  discusses  Anglo-Amer- 
ican relations  with  regard  to  the  Panama 
Canal  and  Mexico.  Appearing  as  it  did 
on  the  eve  of  the  Great  War,  it  gives  an 
impartial  and  unbiased  account  of  Anglo- 
German  relations  during  the  past  45  years 
which  in  these  days  of  controversial  writ- 
ing is  very  satisfying. 

The  bibliographical  notes  at  the  end  of 
each  chapter  are  very  full  and  generally 
there  are  references  to  bibliographies  still 
more  complete.  The  index  to  which 
over  70  pages  are  given,  is  exceptionally 
complete  and  accurate.  The  maps,  how- 
ever, leave  much  to  be  desired.  Those  of 
Ireland,  Scotland,  Spain,  India  and  Africa 
are  good,  but  the  line  maps  of  England  are 
not  very  satisfactory  and  there  are  not 
enough  of  them.  There  should  also  be 
maps  to  illustrate  the  Hundred  Years' 
War  the  War  of  the  Spanish  Succession, 
the  Seven  Years'  War  and  the  Napoleonic 
Wars.  The  book  is  remarkably  free  from 
errors,  and  the  few  that  were  noted  were 
in  almost  every  instance  clerical  mistakes 
overlooked  in  proof-reading.

PLAYS  BY  LEONID  ANDREYEFF 

To  most  of  us  at  this  distance,  Russia  is 
a  land  of  mystery.  And  its  mystery  has 
been  rather  deepened  than  dispelled  by  our 
growing  acquaintance  with  the  works  of 
the  great  Russian  dramatists  and  novelists. 
What  somber  land  is  this,  we  ask,  over 
which  the  air  itself  hangs  heavy  with 
ploomy  terror?  Or,  if  we  think  that  the 
mterpreters  of  Russian  life  are  men  who 
would  find  life  anywhere  a  grief  and  bur- 
den, we  have  only  shifted  the  question,  not 
changed  it.  We  must  still  wonder  what 
there  is  in  Russia  that  produces  so  monoto- 
nously interpreters  like  these. 

No  one  who  has  read  such  stories  of 
Andreyeff  as  **The  Red  Laugh"  or  'The 
Seven  Who  Were  Hanged,"  will  expect  to 
find  his  plays  pleasant  entertainments.  The 
last  of  the  three  plays  in  this  book  is 
almost  pleasant  But  against  any  such 
hope  from  the  others,  the  Being  in  Grey, 
the  story  protagonist  of  The  Life  of  Man," 
gives  fair  warning  in  the  prologue:  ''And 
ye  who  have  come  hither  for  mirth,  ye 
who  are  doomed  to  die,  look  and  listen." 

Yet  there  is  a  difference.  The  pessimism 
in  these  plays  is  sustained  to  the  end,  but 
it   is   a   pessimism   that  is   never   merely

[August 


scornful  or  brutal.  Andreyeff  can  be  a 
realist  like  the  rest  of  the  Russians;  but 
here  he  chooses  to  be  a  poet  and  mystic. 
That  means  at  least  hope.  As  far  as  An- 
dreyefiP  can  see,  man  stumbles  down  a  path 
predestined  for  him  by  a  majestically  in- 
different Fate.  But  even  as  he  looks,  he  is 
haunted  by  the  presence  of  a  better  world 
which  Time  cannot  bring  to  decay.  In 
that  world,  material  destiny  is  not  ulti- 
mate. And  Andreyeff  seems  to  believe  in 
it.  Death  is  terrifically  strong;  but  life  is 
stronger. 

Being  a  poet,  Andreyeff  has  made  these 
plays  things  of  beauty.  'The  Black  Mask- 
ers" is  a  fantasy  which,  more  than  any 
other  of  his  translated  works,  justifies  the 
critic  who  has  called  Andreyeff  "the  Edgar 
Allan  Poe  of  Russian  literature."  But 
even  here,  he  adds  to  Poe's  uncanny  wiz- 
ardry a  deep  and  poignant  human  note. 
"The  Life  of  Man"  is  a  somber  picture  and 
a  mournful  song.  It  is  as  insistent  in  its 
use  of  atmosphere  and  motif  as  a  Wag- 
nerian opera.  The  present  edition  fortu- 
nately preserves  the  original  fifth  act.  It 
is  more  original  and  impressive  than  the 
variant,  which  is  also  given;  though  the 
author  is  probably  right  in  saying  that  it 
is  not  so  consistent  with  the  fundamental 
idea  of  the  play.  "The  Sabine  Women"  is 
the  satire  of  a  thorough  going  revolutionist 
against  the  Constitutional  -  Democratic 
party.  In  spite  of  its  gloomy  implications. 
It  is  bubbling  over  with  fun;  and  it  must 
have  been  a  delight  to  write,  as  it  is  to 
read,  or  as  it  must  be  to  see.  Its  allegory 
is  quite  transparent. 

The  translation  is  excellent  in  every  way. 
One  would  suppose  that  Andreyeff  is,  like 
the  poets  of  the  Bible,  not  especially  hard 
for  a  sympathetic  translator.  However  that 
may  be.  he  has  found  two  such  in  this 
case.  It  is  especially  worth  noting  that 
they  have  preserved  his  pure  and  simple 
style.  W.  R.  H.

SCOPOLAMINE-MORPHINE 
ANAESTHESIA 
Apropos  of  the  great  amount  of  interest 
which  is  being  taken  at  the  present  time 
in  the  production  of  unconsciousness  and 
anaesthesia  by  the  injection  of  certain  drugs, 
a  recent  book  by  Dr.  Van  Hoosen,  of  Chi- 
cago, is  very  interesting.  Dr.  Van  Hoosen, 
as  she  says  in  the  introduction,  has  been 
using  a  combination  of  morphine  and  sco- 
polamine for  general  surgical  work  for  a 
number  of  years.    With  the  great  and  in- 


creasing interest  in  this  subject  aroused  by 
articles  in  the  lay  journals,  Dr.  Van  Hoosen 
has  had  little  to  do,  but  she  has  been  criti- 
cised on  account  of  her  connection  with 
this  form  of  anaesthesia.  As  a  matter  of 
defense  she  has  prepared  this  volume  giving 
the  results  of  her  experiences  with  this 
form  of  anaesthesia  in  over  five  thousand 
cases  in  general  surgical  work,  and  a  large 
number  of  cases  in  her  obstetrical  practice. 
As  Dr.  Van  Hoosen  has  used  this  method 
for  so  long,  it  goes  without  saying  that  she 
is  highly  enthusiastic  over  it,  as  is  proved 
by  her  large  number  of  cases  and  by  her 
final  statement  in  which  she  says  that  this 
combination  solves  the  problem  of  child- 
bearing  and  rearing  for  the  highly  organ- 
ized mother  of  modem  civilization,  and  is 
the  greatest  boon  the  Twentieth  Century 
could  give  to  women.  The  details  of  many 
of  these  are  very  interesting  and  should 
be  instructive  to  those  who  desire  to  per- 
fect themselves  in  the  technique  of  this 
form  of  anaesthesia. 

There  is  one  very  serious  flaw  in  the 
book,  namely.  Chapter  2.  This  chapter  is 
upon  Pharmacology  and  Toxicology,  or 
Scopolamine  and  Morphine.  It  may  be  said 
that  this  chapter  was  not  written  by  Dr. 
Van  Hoosen  herself,  but  by  one  of  her 
co-workers.  It  would  be  hard  to  find  four 
pages  in  which  there  are  more  errors  and 
mis-statements  than  are  in  the  first  four 
pages  of  this  chapter.  The  author  appar- 
ently had  no  conception  of  Chemistry  or 
Materia  Medica.  It  would  be  useless  to 
attempt  to  point  out  the  errors  as  they  are 
so  numerous,  beginning  even  with  the  first 
sentence  in  the  chapter.  There  seems  to 
be  no  distinction  whatever  made  between 
pure  alkaloid  and  the  crude  drug  from 
which  it  is  derived.  One  reference  might 
be  made  in  which  it  is  said  that  Hyoscine 
and  Belladonnae  are  companion  and  under- 
study to  Scopolamine.  A  definite  chemical 
formula  is  given  to  Henbane.  Further  com- 
ment on  this  chapter  would  seem  to  be  un- 
necessary, but  it  seems  very  unfortunate 
that  it  should  appear  in  the  book. 

The  latter  part  of  the  book  is  taken  up 
with  a  psychological  study  of  "Twilight 
Sleep,"  by  Elizabeth  Ross  Shaw. 

The  book  is  well  gotten  up  from  a  tech- 
nical standpoint,  and  the  cuts  are  in  a  very 
pleasing  soft  brown  tint,  differing  consid^ 
erably  from  the  ordinary  scientific  mono- 
graph.

THE  SECRETARY'S  REPORT

BOOK  AND  MAGAZINE  NOTES 

Theodore  W.  Koch,  Librarian  of  the 
University,  contributed  an  article  to  The 
Library  Journal  for  May,  1915,  entitled 
"The  University  Library."  The  article  was 
later  reprinted  in  pamphlet  form. 

Mr.  Koch  also  had  an  article,  "Concern- 
ing Book  Plates,"  in  the  Papers  of  the 
Bfbliograp'hical  Society  of  America,  Vol. 
IX,  Nos.  1-2,  191 5,  which  was  reprinted. 
The  article  was  accompanied  by  numerous 
illustrations  of  bookplates. 

In  the  June  issue  of  The  Forum  appears 
an  article  by  Henry  W.  Webber,  '94/,  of 
New  York,  entitled  'HHivic  Pride  in  New 
York  City."  Beginning  with  the  statement 
that  in  the  city  large  bodies  of  citizens  do 
not  even  know  the  m'eaning  of  the  phrase 
"civic  pride,"  Mr.  Webber  points  out  the 
means  by  which  this  spirit  may  best  be 
fostered.  He  believes  that  the  first  solution 
of  the  problem  lies  in  the  education  of  the 
•individual  citizen  to  a  higher  standard  of 
civic  living  and  civic  housekeeping  "by  ap- 
pealing to  his  mental,  emotional  or  physical 
side,  rather  than  by  passing  laws  or  indict- 
ing. "Teach  a  man  that  reform  of  a  single 
bad  civic  habit  will  bring  health  and  hap- 
piness to  himself,  or  to  his  family,  and 
he  will  listen  and  probably  follow.     Com- 


mand, and  he  will  turn  his  back,  pay  the 
fine,  and  damn  the  magistrate."  Mr. 
Webber  believes  that  a  beginning  in  the 
proper  direction  could  be  made  by  dividing 
each  city  department  into  a  bureau  of  ad- 
ministration and  a  bureau  of  research,  the 
former  to  exercise  purely  governmental 
functions;  the  latter  to  initiate,  experiment 
and  teach.  Illustrations  are  given  of  the 
opportunities  in  the  health  department  and 
in  the  regulation  of  street  traffic. 

Dean  Henry  'M.  Bates,  '90,  of  the  Law 
School,  contrrbuted  to  the  Report  of  the 
Commissioner  of  Education  for  the  Year 
ended  June  30,  1914,  which  was  publislied 
by  the  Department  of  the  Interior,  Bureau 
of  Education,  a  chapter  on  "Recent  Pro- 
gress in  Legal  Education."  The  article  has 
since  been  reprinted  in  pamphlet  form  by 
the  Government  Printing  Office.  Dean 
Bates  considers  the  following  questions: 
Previous  reports  on  legal  education,  Im- 
provement in  law  schools.  Law  Schools 
versus  law  offices  in  legal  training.  Re- 
quirements for  graduation.  Content  of  the 
law-school  curriculum.  Teaching  practice 
and  procedure.  Methods  of  teaching,  Ad- 
mission to  the  bar.  The  Association  of 
American  Law  Schools.  The  Carnegie 
Foundation  inquiry.
