Dr. Herrington, of Bad Axe Will Other Speaker; Addressing Hygiene Class. be There seems to be an erroneous im- pression about the campus concern- ing the apportionment of the -various grades in the literary department. "At the the time the faculty adopted the new marking system a year ago," said Registrar A. G. Hall,. yesterday, "the following sentence was included: In a rational system of marking, these grades are distributedd about as fol- lows: A. not more than 10 per cent; B, 15 to 20 per cent; C, 40 to 50 per cent; D, 15 to 20 per cent; E, about 10 per cent. It was distinctly declared that this distribution, which is based upon the law of probabilities and the results observed in other universities, would only be approached in an expe- rience of many years. "There was no thought that an in- structor should be constrained to fol- low the suggestion in any particular instance. Small advanced classes will doubtless yield better results than this, while elementary courses there may be a larger proportion of the lower grades. It was further emphasized that the grade A was to be considered as exceptionally high, and that B does not denote a second rate student."

In this investigation, the council is acting independently, and no informa- ion which their probe may bring to ight will be turned over to the uni- ersity authorities. The student body s experiencing no difficulty in obtain- ng information as it has the coopera- ion, for, the most part, of the better lement on the campus; and men who ave been examined have not been re- .cent about telling what they know. No definiteaction hastbeen taken by he faculty and although inquiries are eing conducted, no provision has yet een made for a faculty meeting. Judge Charles S. Cutting, of Chica- go,will deliver the Washington's Birth- day address. The exercises will be held in University Hall that afternoon. Judge Cutting is a graduate of Wil- liamette University and received an honorary degree, Doctor of Laws, from Michigan in 1907. As judge of the Pro- bate Court of Cook County, Illinois, he has served since 1899. His nomina- tion for judge of the Eastern District of Illinois is now pending before the United States Senate. Prominent members of the state bar have been invited, and have expressed their intention to be present.

"It is possible, however, that in case we have another disagreeable season next year we will be able to turn steam on by the middle of the winter; even though the building was., not completed, or the equipment fully installed." By this estimate eighteen months are allowed for completing the work,which commenced the first of the year. The excavations will be completed by March 15, and the foundations erect- ed by July 1. The building will be en- closed with the boilers, about January 1, 1914, and the remaining six months will be allowed for installing the en- gines, pumps, and electrical machin- ery. from today on February 19. It will commemorate the 63rd anniversary of the founding of the department. The date for the celebration in past years has alweys been February 22, but as this date falls on Saturday this year, the authorities have advanced the day to Wednesday. Dr. Abraham Jacoby, the president of the American Medical Association of New York City; and Dr. W. J. Her- rington, of Bad Axe, will give address- es during the day. Dr. Jacoby will give an open lecture for the public at 8:00 o'clock in the morning at Sarah Caswell Angell hall, and at 10.00 o'clock will speak to Dean Vaughan's class in hygiene in the west amphithe- ater of the medical building. In the afternoon, Dr. Herrington will deliver the 'Founder's Day address at 4:00 o'clock in Sarah Caswell Angell hall on "The Country Doctor." At 8:00 o'clock in the evening, Dr. Jacoby is to speak at the same place on "What Doctors are Good for." Following the evening. program a reception will be given under the aus- pices of the Ann Arbor medical club to members of the faculty, medical stu- dents and invited guests. JUNIOR LAWS RENOMINATED.

Not only this, but Union authorities have called a meeting of the presidents and chair- men of the social committees of the four classes in the literary depart- ment for this afternoon at 5:00 o'clock, at which the matter of abolishing the tango at all its functions given by these classes will be discussed. The radical measures adopted by the Union officials were precipitated, it is understood, by questionable dancing at the recent Junior Hop, and at sev- SENIORS DISCUSS DANCEQESTION Vote Against Regulations; Dickinson and Ford Named for President.

On Wednesday following, of interest at the meeting of the sen- ior literary class yesterday. Selden S. Dickin son and Howard W. Ford were placed in nomination for the vacancy in the presidential berth, the election to take place Saturday morning in Tappan hall from 8:00 to 12:00 o'clock. The dance question was brought up by a suggestion call- ing for the abolition of the "tango" and was voted down on the grounds that such legislation was part of a movement outside the sphere of the class itself. The report of the memorial commit- tee caused considerable discussion. The committee decided to recommend a reading desk as a companion piece to the chair given by the 1912 lits for the new Hill auditorium. Electroliers to be placed in front of the new auditorium were also consid- ered and some members of the class thought that they would be better. The class decided not to accept the reading desk at this time but thought it best to refer the matter back to the com- mittee for further investigation as to designs and prices of both reading desks and electroliers. . Canes for the men and umbrellas for the women are being considered for class souvenirs but no models were submitted by the committee. Will Connect With Old Tunnels. The contract for the tunnels has not been let, but the plans call for 1600 feet of underground construction, starting at the new power house- which is located in the hollow between Huron and Washington streets-back of the Homeopathic hospital and across North Universtiy avenue east of the dentistry building to an under- ground sub-station between the med- ical building and Waterman gymna- sium. Here connection will be made with the old tunnel system, which will not be changed except the electric sys- tem. The lighting current will be changed to a 2200 volts alternating current, while the power load will be convert- ed to 220 volt direct current, enabling the old motors to be used. The plant, as erected now, will con- tain eight 400 horse power Wickes ver- tical boilers, with accommodations for eight more; and a 500 killowat gener- ating set, driven by a cross-compres- sion Corliss engine. It will be reach- ed by a mile spur from the Michigan Central tracks over a private right of way.. Old Plant to be Sub Station. The present plant will be discontin- ued when the new one is put into op- eration, but will serve as a sub-sta- tion in case of emergency. It will be converted into a steam and mechanical laboratory for the engineering depart- ment, as the machinery is too old to be worth moving. Between $350,000.00 and $360,000.00 will be expended in the construction of the plant under them present plans, but these allow for future improve- ments whcih will amount to a total figure of a half million dollars. The equipment now installed will be doub- led ultimately, and tunnels to the uni- versity hospital and the observatory; will also be constructed. When completed the power house will contain a complete water purify- ing plant, and a second chimney will be constructed when the additional electric unit and the duplicate machin- ery is installed. It is also proposed by the university" authorities to have their own watera works plant at the river, with electric-1 ally driven pu'mps started and stoppedI at the power house. Junior Engineers and Lits Dine. Junior lits and engineers were rep- resented by 135 at a combined dinner' at the Union last night. Werner Schroeder acted as toastmaster, Harry1 Hewitt spoke for the lits, while the1 engineers were represented by Charles1 Crowe and George B. Duffield. Prof. J. A. C. Hildner gave a short talk and Bruce Bromley furnished the music. Men Disqualified for Council Are Again in Race. Grover C. Grismore and William F. Laidlaw, the two junior law students who were disqualified as candidates in the recent student council election, were renominated for these positions at the junior law class meeting held yesterday afternoon. It was charged that the students mentioned, or their friends, had solicited votes at the last election. The class declared against securing votes in this manner either by the candidate or by his friends. Frank Murphy was elected as toast- master to preside at the annual ban- quet which will be held at the Allenel hotel on March 21. NO OTHER SMALL POX CASES REPORTED; SITUATION BETTER The prsent small pox in this city has been kept confined and no new cases have been reported during the past few days. So far no students have been affected with the disease, but there are, however, about fifteen cases in the city. Free vaccination has been pro- vided for all those who wish it. Al- ready about 150 students have received the free treatment at the gymnasiums. The medical authorities advise all students to be vaccinated and thus be- come immune to the disease. FORMER STUDENT IS KILLED WHEN ACTING AS PEACEMAKER James F. Read, of Fort Smith, Ark., who spent two summer sessions here and the entire year of 1911-12, was murdered last week while attempting to act as peacemaker in a quarrel. It seems that Read endeavored to inter- vene for a friend who had become in- volved in a quarrel and in the fracas which followed was accidentally shot. Edition of Gargoyle Sells Rapidly. Sales of the Junior Hop number of the Gargoyle have been so persistent that only a few more are necessary to deplete the supply. The normal distribution of the campus monthly is 1,200, to which 200 extra was added for the J Hop edition. Lits Will Receive Standings Today. Semester reports in the literary de- partment will be mailed today. The results of the extra hour petitions will be sent with the reports. OPERA TRYOUTS DISPLAY TALENT Competition for the 15 Speaking Parts Keenest in History of Operas. REHEARSALS TO BEGIN FEF. 25. With 30able-bodied students look- ing covetously on the 15 speaking parts in the 1913 Michigan Union op- era, the tryouts for the principal roles, held at the Union last evening, proved to be the keenest competition conduct- ed in the history of the annual operas. All of the candidates represented the pick of the initial 100 orso tryouts, eral parties held before the examina- tions. While the tango has not been commonly danced at the regular week- ly Union dances, those in charge be- lieve that they may most readily strike at the so-called epidemic of ultra-elab- orate dancing by using their influence at the parties sponsored by the Union. Some time ago, chairmen of the Michigan Union dancesavoted to abol- ish the "clutch-hold" at the regular dances. The rule has been enforced for three weeks, and, althqugh it has been found necessary to warn several dancers at every party, the regulation has been accepted with good grace, What action will be taken by the class officials at their session this af- ternoon is hard to foretell. The senior lits, at their class meeting yesterday, went on record as being opposed to the regulation of - dancing by individual classes, but the sentiment of some of the other classes is said to be averse to the continuation of the tango. "We are not trying to be arbitrary in the matter of regulating dancing at our parties, or at other affairs, said Harold Abbott, '13, general chairman of the Michigan Union dances, last ev- ening. "The tango has not been pop- ular at Union functions, however, and we believe that we only are anticipat- ing more radical action on the part of faculty members, when we bar the tango; and at the same time are not inflicting any hardship on the students who attend our dances." Edward G. Kemp, '12-'14L, president of the Union, expressed himself as being heartily in favor of the summary and in most cases the men competing for the same parts were so evenly matched in ability, that no definite se- lection of material could be made with- out further consideration. Bert St. John, director of the opera, was out from Detroit for the tryouts, and at the conclusion he expressed himself as being pleased with the showing made by the would-be Thes- pians. Mr. St. John will return to Ann Arbor on February 25, at which time the fortunate tryouts will be named, and actual rehearsing com- menced. Broiler chorus tryouts will be held at the Union at 8:00 o'clock this even- ing, at which time all men less than five feet seven inches in height, who wish to secure broiler parts, will be given an opportunity to exhibit their dexterity. The competition will be open to students trying out for the first time, as well as those who have been present It former meetings. For the benefit of all tryouts, a bul- letin board will be put up at the Un- ion, on which all notices of rehearsals and meetings will be posted. Librarians Accept Other Positions. Ethel M. Wight, who has been con- nected with the general library for the past seven years has resigned to ac- cept a position at the John Crerar li- brary of Chicago. Rachel Rhodes who has done two years of library work here has been engaged by the public library of Superior, Wisconsin. Former Michigan Student is Killed. Word- has been received here from Canton, Ohio, th'at Homer Lothaimer, who was a student in the engineering department last year and during the recent summer school, was electrocut- ed while working for the electric light company of that city. Lothamer was expecting to return to the university next fall. action taken by that "There can be no doubt organization. that dancing Abendpost Editor to Speak Here., Dr. M. Markus, editor-in-chief of the Detroit Abendpost, will deliver a lec- ture in German on "The German Folk- song" Thursday evening, February 20, at the High School under the auspices of the Deutscher Verein. Dr. Markus will be assisted by his wife, who will recite from Heine and other poets, and a musical program will also be ar- ranged. Fresh Law Banquet Not Yet Given. Misunderstanding the purpose of the law smoker- Friday night, many of the first year barristers thought that their annual banquet was to be on that night. The date for the banquet has not' been assigned as yet, however. in its various innovated versions is open to criticism, and we feel that it is up to us to help remedy existing con- ditions." ARCHITECTURAL DEPARTMENT IS PRAISED BY PUBLICATION. Michigan's architectural school and its head, Prof. Emil Lorch, are praised in the current number of The Western Architect, a publication devoted to ar- chitecture. The article says in part. "It has al- ready gained the distinction of a place with the best, if not the best of archi- tectural schools approved as standard by the American Institute of Archi- tects. Its head is Prof. Emil Lorch, whose culture goes beyond the art and practice of architecture into a peda- gogic appreciation of organization and tuition, and a broad sympathy with the purpose and effect of architectural art training upon his time." Faculty Man Honored by Zoologists. Dr. George R. LaRue, of the zoology department, has been elected a cor- responding member of the Helmintho- logical society of Washington.
