on this side of the Atlantic, and nas
since that time been a factor of na-
tion-wide importance in the develop-
ment which has replaced the old-time
apprentice method for pharmacists
with a four-year scientific course.
The part that Michigan has taken in
the rapid rise of pharmacy from a
trade to a science may be indicated by
the single significant fact that gradu-
ates of Michigan are at the heads of
12 of the 79 pharmaceutical schools in
the country. They are Emerson R.
Miller, '92P, Alabama Polyte:-hnic In-
stitute; Homer C. Washburn, '02P,
Mercer University; Charles B. Jordan,
'10P, Purdue University; Charles C.
Sherrard, '90P, Tri-State College of
Pharmacy; Arthur W. Linton, '09, Val-
pariso University; Wilbur J. Teeters,
'95P, University of Iowa; Wilbur R.
Jackman, '86-'87P, University of
Maine; Earnest R. Crandall, '11P,Kan-
sas City College of Pharmacy; Charles
H. Stocking, '07P, University of Okla-
homa; Charles O. Hill, '93P, Univer-
sity of Tennessee; Charles W. John-
son, '96P, University of Washington;
Rafael del Valle, '01P, College of Phar-
macy, San Juan, Porto Rico.
When the federal Food nd Drugs act
became effective a demand for compe-
tent pharmaceutical chemists to serve
as inspectors and analysists in the va-
rious government laboratories+
throughout the country was suddenly
created. It is a matter of history that
Michigan's school of pharmacy con-
tributed more men to this service than
any other school or university in the
country. This is explained by the fact
that from the first it has steadily raised
its standard to that of the other tech-
nical departments, instead of remain-
ing as at first a two-year course, with-
out the collateral work which is nec-
esary to make any professional career
effective, as mathematics, general sci-
ence, and modern languages for pur-
poses of research.
Not leasL among Michigan's well-
known graduates, have been the men
who have spent their later years a!
work in the school of pharmacy fromn
which some of them received their un-
dergraduate degrees. Chief among1
these is Albert B. Prescott, '64M, who
became professor in pharmacy in 1865,
and was dean of the ?epartment from
the time of its founding in 1376 until
his death in 1905. Dr. Prescott served
through the civil war, in the cspital
service, and was retired with the ranil
of captain, coming directly from the
south to take up his work in the uni-
versity.
Through the efforts of Dr. Prescott
the stendard of the school was con-
stantly raised by increasing the length
of the term and the variety of the
curriculun:, so that Michiean might1
keep up with the insistent demand for
better, and still better, men in the+
pharmaceutical field.
Upon the death of Doan Prescott in
1905 he was succeeded by his own pu-

DISTINCTIVE CANE

Seniors Will Carry Sticks Similar to
1913 Choice, to Institule
Departmental Cane.
COM3IITTEE APPOINTMENTS MADE
With the idea of carrying out the
plan of the 1913 law class, the senior
laws have decided to adopt a class
cane similar to the stick of last year's
class. The purpose of the plan of
having the same stick every year, is to
establish the custom in the law depart-
ment, of carrying a cane which will
be distinctive of the department, for
all time. This action is contrary to
the attitude of the senior lit class,
which favors one style of cane for all
departments.

ments have been announced by Robert

"C-C" MEN ELECT
OFFICERS FOR 191I
Cross country men closed their ac-
tivities for the year, by the electien of
officers at a meeting at Waterman gym-
nasium yesterday afternoon.
The following were chosen:
President, F. L. Young, '14-'16L;
secretary, F. L. Walters, '16; captain,
T. C. Trelfa, '16E; members board in
control, G. B. Fox, '16; George Watt,
'17M; H. L. Carroll, '17E, and L. F.
Terry, '15E.
The only man lost by the club this
year is Captain H. E. Brown, '14. The
club tendered both the retiring captain
and Intramural Director Floyd A.
Rowe votes of thanks for their work
for the organization this year.
It was mainly through the efforts of
Director Rowe that the eastern trip
for the cross country team was made
possible this year. While the showing
in the eastern intercollegiate was not
all that it might have been, the mem-
bers of the club feel that a move in
the right direction was made.
Fresh Engineers Organizing Glee Club
A glee club of 18 members is being
organized by the freshman engineerin
class, as an outgrowth of the singing
at recent class dinners and smokers.
The club will be under the direction
of Kenneth Westerman, '14, of the
school of music faculty. .

WOMEN TO FORM
DRAMATIC SOCIETY
"W omen's lDraiatle Association" Asks
Non-Athletic Board For
Recognition.
TO GIVE PLAY NEXT SEMESTER
A new dramatic association, receiv-
ing its initial impetus through the ef-
forts of a group of older women in
the university, has petitioned the non-
athletic board of control for the rccog-
nition of its constitution.
The name of the organization is tc
be the Women's Dramatic Association
and its aim is to forward dramatic in-
terest among women students This
is an entirely new idea for women, anc.
its launching has been the result- of
careful and serious preparation.
An honorary circle of the organiza-
tion is to be established, called the
"Masque." Membership will be basee,
upon excellence in the work of the
dramatic association proper. This in-
ner circle will constitute the executivE
board of the organization, with th,
dean of women, and the president o.
the women's league, as honorary mem-
bers without the power of vote.
Charter members of the society are:
Mary Palmer, Louise Conklin, Emil3
Gilfillan, Isabelle Rizer, Marjorie Nich-
o'son, and Helen Brandebury.
A play will be given during the sec-
ond semester, tryouts for which wil
be held immediately after the firs:
official meeting of the new dramatic
association.
BASKETBALL MANAGERS PASS

ing at Waterman gymnasium yester-
day afternoon. The officials also ac-
cepted a trophy from Mr. Jackson
manager of the Ty Cobb Sporting
Goods store, of Detroit, to be awarder
to the winner of the campus series

yesterday teams must appear on the

didates for the Varsity track team, or
any man who had been excused from
gymnasium work, might compete,

has refused to pay to C. E. Wilson,

With a Harvard game practically ar-
ranged, and indications pointing to
one of the hardest football schedules
of recent years, Michigan students are
already beginning to size up prospects
for the 1914 season. In spite of the
oss of an even half dozen stars, in th-
persons of Craig, Pontius, Patersomi,
sorbet, Allmendinger, and Musser, a
consideration of the list of men who
ire expected to be eligible next season,
shows that the Wolverines will not be
:acking in material from which to
ick a capablo eleven.
A list of girdiron men who will form
:he nucleus from which Coach Yost
will make his selections for the 1914
Varsity has been compiled by Trainer
'Steve" Farrell. This list shows some
strong men, some players of lesser
,aliber and some men who will barely
pass muster, but on the whole the ros.-
er indicates that Michigan ought to
have a good team.
Trainer Farrell's list, however, can-
-tot account for men who will be lost
through scholastic ineligibility, or
:rom dropping out of college. Many of
he men may not be available for ex.t
year's eleven. But it is believed there
will be enough men left on the list to
show that the 1914 Varsity cannot bJN
considered a weak contender for hn-
ors.
The list follows:
Centers-Traphagen, Lichtner and
Nieman.
Linemen-Captain Raynsford, Coch'
Man, McHale, Rehor, Millard, Rhein-
:nan, Watson, Benton, Finkhelner, Cer-
aey, Skinner, Des Coudres, Dunne and
Y'Brien.
Ends-Lyons, James, Staatz, Huebel
and Graven.
Backs-Hughitt, Catlett, Galt, Bush-
aell, Maulbetsch, Benton,Splawn;Mead,
Rentley, Zieger, McNamara, Calvin,
Skinner, Quail, Roehm, Bastian, Cohn,
