Several Michigan men took advnm tage of the summer vacation to visit foreign countries. Ralph Snyder, '14L, who with Russel Judson, '14, toured England and the Continent, said last night: "By taking advantage of cheap tick- ets and using passes, we were able to make the trip for $150 apiece. Going over we passed a huge ice-berg within a few miles of where the Titantic dis- aster occurred. We visited Belgiuin, Holland, Germany, France, England, and Ireland, meeting several Michigan men abroad, and we found our Union pins of great assistance in making acquaintances. At a dance in Paris we met Jim Watkins, and had quite a reunion, until the entrance of Jack Johnson broke it up. At the Louvre we saw Professor Pillsbury and Mrs. Pillsbury." Snyder and Judson also inet Wn. Allard, 'ilL, and Hl. Clark, 17M. Claire Straith, '17M, who went across the ocean in a cattle boat re- ports a fine time in England, Belgium, and France. In Paris he met Coach Yost. Straith estimated the cost of the trip as less than $125. Frazer Clark, '15, also was abroad and saw Jim Watkins and Earl Moore in Paris. All the men who went abroad were enthusiastic about their experiences and think that more Mich- igan students should spend their sum- iners in this way, Vest Pocket Note Books %tvidaents Ca n't, Affa rd to he Wilhoxat Thern A Genuine Flexible Leather Cover Three pads 50 . sheets each, size 2 x4 complete. 25c , , I k.r ,, A VEST POCKET memorandum with removable pads and perforated sheets.

As things stand now the band is hold- ing out for partial scholarships for the different members, or a money payment for part of their tuition from the athletic association. The student subscription taken up in former years have generally proved unsuccessful, and the board of regents, not wish- ing to create any precedents, has re- fused to take any action on the mat- ten '. The band which will attend the Case game will not be the regular Varsity band of former years, but will consist of musicians paid for this special occasion. According to Ike Fisher there is fine material in the University at the present time' for a band of twenty pieces, which is the maximum number that partial scholarships are now de- sired for. SWMA DELTAPSIMIGHT PLACE NEW CHAPTER HERE. Sigma Delta Psi, an athletic fra- ternity established at Indiana in 1912, is anxious to establish a chapter at Michigan. The athletic association is in re- ceipt of a communication from the central board of the fraternity, en- closing the constitution, and asking that the matter be placed before the student body. If Michigan' athletes are interested, it is asked that a rep- resentative be sent to a meeting at Indianapolis to be held during the Christmas vacation. Athletes who wish to become mem- bers of the fraternity must compete in live athletic events and do better than certain established marks in each. The requirements include running the hundred yard dash in 11 3-5 seconds, negotiating the 120-yard high hurdles in. 20 seconds, high jumping 5 feet, broad jumping 18 feet and putting the 16 pound hammer 30 feet. Professor A. S. Whitney, Director Bartelme and Director Rowe all speak well of the idea and will give the mat- ter consideration. HE ALTH SERVICE Tro PROBE ROBT.

The enterprise of a couple of Mich- igan students has resulted in the publication of a de luxe map of Ann Arbor, for the use' of business men. About fifty of thes* maps were put out during the summer,-wholly the work of James Hurley and John P. Parsons, late of the literary depart- ment, now freshman medics. The map gives the number of all lots and additions, and the owners of all as yet unplatted, including several out- side the city. While the printing is not all that was desired, the work is well executed; and the authors con- template extending their idea to other towns in this vicinity. A zinc etching, reduced, is now being prepared for the exclusive use of real estate men. FORESTRY DEPARTMENT TO STRENG THEN CURRICULUM, Six new courses have been added to the forestry department this year. Course 3 in identification of woods and Course 23 in forest protection are merely enlargements of similar work done last year. However, the courses in woodlots and forest parks, forest improvements, silvicultural practice in the Lodgepole and the Douglas Fir types, Forestry for civil engineers, and forestry for teachers are new this year, and with the new facilities for thorough instruction, both in the lab- oratory and in the field the depart- ment is holding its own, if not sur- passing such standard forest schools, as the Biltmore, and Yale.

Hughes is the author of'The Biblical Play" and "The Stage from a Clergyman's Stand- point.") MANAGERS '"THE LIGHT ETERNAL" CO., Majestic Theatre, New York City: Gentlemen: I witnessed the excellent presentation of "The Light Aternal" on Thursday night with great satisfaction and profit. When I compare it with the religious plays I have already witnessed and criticised, notably "Ben-Hur," "Quo Vadis," "The Shepherd King,"and "The Sign of the Cross,"y.i feel "The Light Eternal" is to be preferred to any of them. There are in this play no scenes of revelry so repulsive to the Christian mind, and which I so severely censured in "The Sign of the Cross," although that play was endorsed by the Archbishop of Canterbury and the late Mr. Gladstone. And yet "The Light Eternal" conveys the same teach- ings and gives us a graphic delineation of the spirit of martyrdom which establish- ed the Christian religion as a great historic fact before the days of Constantine. 11 V 0c THOS. P. HUGHES; D. . L. D. New York City, Dec. 14, 1908. I Full two ounce tins "The Light Eternal" was presented at the Whitney Theater, Ann Arbor, on April 19 and 20, 1911, and again on Feb. 5th, 1912, by the same cast to be seen here Wednesday. This attraction merits the support of every theatre goer and church member of Ann Arbor.
