Bates of the law de- partment spoke on "The New Curric- ulum" at the annual fall initiation of the "Woolsack" held at the Union last night. He reviewed the changes that have been made in the law course during the past summer and said that the idea of the change was to study a. few subjects carefully in preference to allowing a scattered application. Professor Aigler also spoke on "The Study of Cases" and Prof. Wilgus on "Study and Practice of the Law." Burke Shartel, one of last spring's initiates, extended a welcoming speech to the new members. James Cleary speaking on "The Original Woolsack," gave a description of what the "Wool- sack" is in real life. Cleary was a vis- itor in England last summer and he spoke from actual experiences, giving an account of the history connected with the "Woolsack." The names of the initiates were run in a previous issue. PENN MASS MEETING TO BE HELD IN GYM. CERCLE FRANCAIS PLAN ELABORATE PROGRAM. Plans for this year's offering of Le Cercle -Francais were laid at the ini- tial meeting of the society last night. An elaborate program is promised, consisting of ten features similar to those given last year. M. Anatole Le Braz, of the Univer- sity of Rennes, France, will open the program in the early part of December with a lecture and at a later date M. Gustave Lancon of the University of Paris will be here. Both lecturers are presented in this country and at Michigan under the auspices of the Al- liance Francaise of America. The play to be given this year, although unofficially announced will be, in all probability, "Le Monde ou l'on S'en- nuy," an especially popular comedy in France, written by Edward Pail- leron. As usual, two soirees will be featured by the cercle, a Soiree Lit-{ teraire and a Soiree Amicale. Mem-. bership giving associate privileges will be as in the past, to students 50 cents, to others $1.00.

Maud Powell, the violinist has been engaged by the Choral Union to play in University Hall that evening. "But," said Director Bartelme yesterday, "Though we knew of this date, no at- tempt was made by the old athletic board to -secure the hall, not only be- cause of the conflict in dates, but al- so because we believed the gym would be a more appropriate building to hold the mass meeting in. The new board will meet next ,week and at that time will make definite arrangements for the holding of the meeting. One will,, of course, be held." COMMERCE CLUB HEARS ECONOMIC THEORY DENIED.

Dwelling on the "Duties of a Secre- tary" Mr. Wilson, secretary of the, Board of Commerce of Detroit, spoke at the initial meeting of the Commerce Club held at the Union Monday night in his honor. The substance of his talk revolved about the word "boost," which he pronounced first as the duty of the public spirited man, who works with a view to advancing the prosper- ity of his home town., Especially sensational to the mem- bers of the club was the disproval of the rudimentary doctrine in economics that a. town derives its prosperity from the raw material at its immediate disposal. "It is not true that a town's prosperity grows out of the available raw material at its disposal," said Mr. Wilson. "Because Grand Rapids is in the heart of the lumber region of Mich- igan does not prove that the furniture industry arose from this. Grand Rap- ids' success in this industry is the out-i come of the genius of its people. Vanderbilt Professor Lectures Tonight, Professor William L.

Twenty-five years of detective work is the record of William J. Burns, who will open the Students' Lecture asso- ciation course, Monday night, in Uni- versity Hall, on "Citizenship and Mu- nicipal Graft." Of that long term of service, twenty-two years were spent in the United States service, which Mr. Burns left for the presidency of the national detective agency, which bears his name. He is best known for his brilliant work in the Oregon Land. Fraud Cases, the San Francisco Mu- nicipal Graft cases, and the Los An-' geles Times dynamiting case, the lat- ter now pending in the courts. When one considers the wonderful success that has accompanied his every effort, it is little wonder that he is hailed as, one of the men of the hour and a lead- er in the ranks of secret service work- ers, past and present.- The free seat reservation for those holding course tickets will take place Saturday morning in University hall from 9 to 12. In order to avoid any waiting, numbers will be given out as fast as asked for and holders of the numbers can reserve their place with- out the necessity of keeping in line. (Special to The Michigan Daily.) NASHVILLE, TENN., Oct. 25.-Giv- Gen a rousing send off in the shape of a monster mass meeting in Collect hall, this evening the Vanderbilt foot- ball eleven, led by Coach McGugin, leaves Thursday morning for Ann Ar- bor where it meets the Wolverine team team on Saturday. Vanderbilt stu- dents showed by their enthusiasm that they expect great things of the Com- modores when they play Michigan in their big game of the season. Three of the Vanderbilt players par- ticipate in the Michigan game know- ing it is the last big game they will ever play for the- southerners, and Roy Morrison, Freeland and Metzger, the three mentioned, are expected to{ play the game of their lives. The five line men who will face Yost's prote- ges are the same who played in the memorable Yale game last year. The Commodore backfield will be compos- ed of Roy Morrison at quarter, Collins and Hardage at the halves and Sikes at full back. In this quartet McGugin has the best set of backs that ever represented Vanderbilt. All of the Commodore players are in fit physical trim and barring accident the team should be in fine fettle when the first whistle blows on Saturday. THE DENTAL CLINIC HAS COMMENCED YEAR'S WORK.: ENGINEERING PROFESSORS DENY CRANWS ATTITUDE. In reply to an attack made by R. T. Crane of Chicago through the medium of pamphlets on the engineering de- partment of the university. Many members of the engineering depart- ment expressed themselves forcibly. "So far as architecture goes the practicing architects today are send- ing their sons to schools, believing that in the future trained men will lead. Experience has shown that these men rise above men who have no tech- nical training," said Prof. Emil Lorch. of the architectural faculty. Prof. Lorch added that there were not enough trained architectural gradu- ates of the university to fill the de- mand. In speaking of Mr. Crane, Prof. H. C. Anderson, of the mechanical engi- neering faculty stated: "It seems too bad that Mr. Crane has to resort to such tactics in order to advertise his goods."; Prof. Anderson referred to articles that appeared in the "Valve*World," a publication issued by Mr. Crane's com- pany as characteristic of Mr. Crane's attitude to men receiving technical training in universities. FRESHMEN PHYSIQUES ARE ABOVE AVERAGE. "There seems to be more freshmen being examined this year than usual," said Dr. May, physical director of the gymnasium, "and just at present, prob- ably because of the proximity of No- vember 6, when all gym classes begin, they are coming in about as fast as we can handle them. Of course, it's too early yet to give out statistics or com- parisons, but the freshmen seem to be above the average in most respects,; and remarkably free from such de- formities as weak or abnormal hearts. We have set aside several charts which compare very well with that ofl Allan Garrell's, last year, and will se- lect the one that is most perfect when all the men have been' examined.' present. Mr. Hackett was most interested the work of the Comedy club and w eager to know what play had been i lected for this year's performanc He expressed surprise when informs that as yet no manuscript had be selected and was positive that should be an easy task to find a su able comedy. "t could name several light con dies of real merit that seem to me be fitted for production by a unive sity dramatic organization," he sa "The shelves of a dramatic library a full of them. "What would I choose? Well, ti depends upon the material that is the club. Any play which has "star" part and which is clean a wholesome would be suitable. course the better the play is writti the more opportunity there, is for t actors." Although the address which M\ Hackett gave before the Dran League yesterday afternoon at* t high school, was intended for t students, it was attended by a lar number of outsiders. After an inte esting description of a visit to t birth place of Shakespeare, the spea er made an appeal to. the students study the bard's plays with more ca and make themselves intimate wi his writings. New Faculty Members Entertained Two hundred faculty couples atter ed the annual reception given to t new faculty members by the Unive sity Senate in Barbour gymnasiu last evening. Most of the universi Regents, who are in town for the C tober meeting of the Regents, to held this morning, attended.
