Special Car atI 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- (Continued on page 4.) DISTINCTIVE CANE FAVORED. BY"LAWS 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. The following committee appoint- ments have been announced by Robert 1.

"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. . ALLAN i.

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 RULES FOR CLASS CONTESTS Managers of class basketball teams adopted several novel rules at a meet- 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 which will be played following the holidays. According to the rules agreed tc yesterday teams must appear on the floor for regular games in distinctive uniforms. The other rules concerned eligibility, it begin decided that no can- didates for the Varsity track team, or any man who had been excused from gymnasium work, might compete, Board Refuses Claim of Assistant The Ann Arbor board of education has refused to pay to C. E. Wilson, assistant instructor in the engineer- . ing department, the sum of $37.5t; which he claimed for past services. Mr. Wilson was head of the manual training courses in the high schoo? last year. MATERIAL FOR 1014 VARSITY LOOKSSTRONG In Spite of Loss of Six Stars, Roll of Eligibles Gives Promise of Good Wolverine Eleven. POSTER LISTS TWENTY MEN FOR BACKFIELD POSITIONS Scholastic Obstacles May Eliinate Some, But Remainder Should Prove Capable. 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, Davidson and Tuttle. Discovered in class games-Lillie, Payette, Peterson, Sharkey, McQueen md Burton.
