BUSINESS MANAGER Albert I. Dilley SATURDAY, APRIL 27, 1912. Night Editor-Morton R. Hunter. A Welcome Change. After several years of criticism upon the part of the students, the engineer- ing authorities and the Board' of Re- gents have investigated the Civil En- gineering department and discovered that there was much cause for the crit- icisms. There has been a general shakeup in that branch and every member of the department is more than grateful to the faculty and the governing board. If, year after year a majority of students, acknowledged to be above the average intelligence, fail to pass their courses, something is wrong. And the fault is not with the students ei- ther. It certainly is a reflection upon the ability of an instructor if only a minority can pass his courses after a semester's instruction. The authorities have evidently. con- doned with this view after several de- vastating years and nothing is more welcome to the student body than the changes in this branch of engineering. Future years will undoubtedly prove' the wisdom of the change. . ' Dr. William F. Breakey. Alumni and students of the Depart- nent of Medicine will hear with. regret of the resignation of Dr. William Fleming Breakey. Forty-four years ago, Dr. Breakey entered the service of the university and during his long period of faithful and efficient service has *von his way into the hearts of students and faculty alike. Some men contribute one thing and some another as their quota of ser- vice, but in our mind, the man who works for the well being of mankind and helps in any measure to alleviate their woes is the greatest of all. Among men of this type, Dr. Breakey stands in the front rank and the uni- versity can ill afford his loss. Even with his heavy work at the university, Dr. Breakey has always been public spirited and served both his country and state at every possible op- portunity, and for men- such as these, the university should be doubly grate- ful. KEY MEN FIRST ELECT SIXTEEN. the more doubtful candidates. As far as can be learned, all of those elected to membership this year will accept the honor, thus precluding any possibility of a recurrence of the situa- tion of last year, when two of those chosen refused the key. STUDENT OF PHILOSOPHY GARNERS ENVIABLE HONORS. Phi Beta Kappa and Fellowships From Michigan and Princeton Come All in One Day., Honors do not come singly-at least for Henry Van Wesep, a seniorlit from Holland, Mich., who within a single day learned that he had been elected to Phi Beta Kappa, that he had been offered a $300 fellowship in philosophy at Michigan, and finally, that he had been awarded a similar fellowship at Princeton University worth $500. The Princeton fellowship, which is applied for by both graduated and un- dergraduates from the leading univer- sities, carries a sum unusually large for a student entering upon his grad- uate work. It is one of the most highly rcoveted scholarship plums of- fered throughout the country. "Van Wesep is a student of most ex- traordinary ability" said Professor Wenley last evening. "I am particu- larly happy that he has been given this opportunity to study at Princeton inasmuch as it will enable him to con- tinue his work in philosophy under Professor Norman Smith." ' Professor Smith succeeded Dr. Wen- ley at the University of Edinburgh when the latter came to Michigan.. DUES AND SPRING DANCE SWELL SOPH LIT COFFERS Yesterday's campaign for soph lit dues was fairly successful, about fif- ty dollars being taken in at the table in University Hall. The treasurer will continue his efforts to collet from ev- ery member of the class and those who have not paid up will oblige' him by doing so immediately. It is hoped that the class finances will be helped somewhat by the spring party ,which will be held this afternoon at two o'clock in Barbour gym. Since this is the last dance to "be given by the '14 lits this year, and since the tickets are only twenty-five cents apiece, a large attendance is expected. MISS CROCKER ADDRESSES. OMEGA PHI WOMEN TODAY. Miss Sandira Crocker. sister of Mrs. H. B. Hutchins, will deliver an address before the Omega Phi this afternoon in Barbour gymnasium at 1 o'clock. Other numbers on the program to be presented are: "A Literary Criticism of Little Women in the Dramatized Form," by Marjorie Nicholson; a dra- matic reading by Mary Trueand "Cur- rent Events," by Hester Robinson.

SPRING HATS 'A !I ONIGIN~ Pure 1, 7 I Refusals of Phi Beta Kappa Honors Will Not Occur This Year. That the original Phi Beta Kappa list for 1912 contained Iut sixteen names, and that the six additional' names were only added after consider- able discussion in the committee on the election of new members, was asecr- tained yesterday. This, however, is the usual method of procedure, the first list being composed of students practically certain of the honor, while the remainder are selected from among That Ann Arbor did not go dry at the recent election is testified to by the "Down Town" number of the Gar- Bgoyle. Indoor sports and the blithe- some frivolities of the carefree student were depicted with ruthless stringency by both the pictorial and word humor- ists of the staff. The "Come-Back" is- sue was shown up," but the rest of the magazine was devoted to the pleasures and pastimes of the merry male. &.CAPS In DifferentShapes & Shades THE LATEST IN Soft Shirts With French Cuffs Rubber & Slip-on Coats Varsity Toggery SHOP 1107 S.
