Novel Idea of Aiding Fight Against
"White Plague" Introduced
in Year 1909.
According to the latest reports re-
ceived by the local agents of the Mich-
igan Anti-tuberculosis society more
than 750,000 Christmas stamps have
been sold in the state thus far. In
view of the fact that nearly 3,000,000
stamps have been distributed, it is
expected that the sale of the stickers
will reach the 1,500,000 mark before
the begining of the holidays. Added
interest attended the sale of the seals
this year as many young women of
Ann Arbor are busy selling the stick-
ers. Two high school girls have
charge of the sale of the stamps at the
postoffice every afternoon and many
more have been campaigning the high
school building.
The plan of selling the Red Cross
anti-tuberculosis stamp was founded
in Europe in 1904, though the idea
of selling stamps for the purpose of
accumulating funds for hospitals,
alms houses, and for the destitute,
was first presented in the United
States as early as 1862.
The tuberculosis stamp idea, how-
ever, was first conceived in this coun-
try in 1909 when Jacob Riis received
a letter from Norway with a Christ-
mas tuberculosis stamp upon it. He
published an article about this queer-
looking stamp in the Outlook and sug-
gested some possible uses for it in
this country. In this way he suc-
ceeded in interesting Miss Emily P.
Bissell, of the Delaware Red Cross
society, who designed a stamp; and
that year $3,000.00 for tuberculosis
work was realized. The American
Red 'Cross society was then induced
to take up the sale on a national
basis, and with scarcely any advertis-
ing the sale the next year jumped to
$135,000. From that time on the sales
have increased annually until last
year the maximum of sales reached
33,000,000- seal or $330,000.
PROFESSORS TO ATTEND JOINT
CONVENTIONS IN CLEVELAND.
Many professors of science and
mathematics will g'to Cleveland the
week of December 30 to attend the
meetings of the American association
for the Advancement of Science, the
New York and Chicago sections of the
American Mathematical society and
the convention of Sigma Xi. Several
Michigan men will deliver papers and
take part in discussions. Among those
who expect to attend the sessions are
Professors Field, Ziwet, Karpinski,
Hall, Bradshaw, Novy, Rich and Hu-
ber.
Prof. Lorch Made Officer of Society.
Prof. Emil Lorch was made a mem-
ber of the execytive committee and
elected vice-president of the new asso-
ciation of Collegiate Schools of Archi-
tecture which convened in Washing-
ton, D. C., recently. This society idea
was proposed three or four years ago
by the architectural department here
for the purpose of giving the general
public a better appreciation of the art.
Musical Clubs Get Official Right
Spring Junket Under Cer-
tain Restrictions.
SEVERAL SHORT TRIPS PLANNED
By a ruling of the senate council,
made at a meeting held Wednesday
evening, the musical clubs are author-
ized to take a trip during the spring
vacation. The council made provisos,
however, which must be complied with
if the trip is to be made. Before decid-
ing definitely on a spring junket, the
clubs' must have their expenses abso-
lutely guaranteed. Also the absences
which are incurred by the members,
must be reckoned with in the usual
way by the attendance committees of
the various departments.
While the rules made by the coun-
cil are not prohibitive of a trip, still
it will mean hard work for the man-
agement if the trip is finally arranged.
The manager of the clubs is in com-
munication with the alumni of many
cities in the west and in this section
of the country and if the results of his
correspondence are successful it is
entirely probable that the club will
take the spring trip. How much mon-
ey the club will need to have guaran
teed and just how far west they will
travel are matters yet far from being
settled. Until they are, the manage-
ment of the club will make nodefinite
statement.
Several side trips through the state
are being arranged for, one of them
to be at Port Huron, February 21.

Junior laws packed the Union last
night for the usual provender of such
affairs and for the best program in
the class history. James T. Keena,
a prominent lawyer, of Detroit, was
one of the head-liners, and implicated
himself still deeper in the ac" usation
that he is one of the foremost of that
city's after dinner speakers. He ad-
vised his listeners to keep away from
criminal law practice, politics, and af-
ter dinner programs. Prof. Van Tyne
gave subtle reasons for the existence
of the lit department and further as-
tonished the barristers with' a graphic
sketch of Daniel Webster. Music and
yells, smokes and cider, and other
sundries, completed the festivities.
Illini Students Celebrate Holidays.
In order to make the transition from
the monotonous round of study to the
glorious freedom of vacation an easy
one, the members of the Illini club
held a pre-holiday celebration at the
Packard academy last evening. "Ike"
the incomparable, furnished the music,
the feature dance' being "My Illinois."
Dean and Mrs. Bates chaperoned the
affair, which was arranged by a com-
mittee composed of W. J. Millar, Karl
Mohr, and Ralph Snyder.
