Men students in the university have joined forces with the fair sex, in the movement to aid the destitute inhabi- tants of Belgium, and Albania, and have begun an active campaign to se- cure contributions to send to the poor and homeless of these countries. Head- quarters for the committee which has the work in charge are at the Church of Christ, across from Alumni Memo- rial hall, and someone will be in charge -there throughout the day, to re- ceive the much needed contributions. University women have responded to the call for aid most loyally, and so earnest have been their efforts, that the sympathies of the whole campus, deans, professors, students and all have been focused upon the work that is being done. Sororities and women's house clubs are the most active partic- ipants in the campaign, and sonie of the women have gone so far as to give up 10 hours a day to the burdensome task of making garments for the suf- ferers in Europe, with the gayest of Thanksgiving social functions to dis- tract their minds. Two boxes were sent yesterday containing in.all nearly 800 dresses for the women and chil- dren of the stricken countries. Such noble work on the part of the university women, has awakened the interest of the men, and they are now through a committee, sending out cir- cular letters to class presidents, and to the heads of fraternities and house- clubs, asking for their co-operation, in raising contributions for the sufferers. Money, is not necessary; what is want- eC consists chiefly of clothes for these unfortunate beings, who are about to face the perils of winter, wholly with- out protection. They need our sup- port, in this undertaking.

Michigan made a rather sorry show- ing in the eastern distance classic last year, and it was considered inadvisa- ble to send the team east this fall, but in view of the excellent prospects for the coming season, it seems quite prob- able that Michigan will be represented in 1915. The cross-country team celebrated the closs of a successful season on Thursday, when the eight man team, entered by the Wolverines, beat the Detroit "Y" athletes out by the nar- row margin of one point, in the annual Thanksgiving Day race of the Detroit Y. M. C. A. By winning the Detroit race on Thursday, Michigan received the De- troit "Y" cup for one year, and earned one leg toward the permanent posses- sion of the trophy. In addition, the first six Wolverines to finish were giv- en medals. K. W. Vance, '16, won tenth place in Thursday's race instead of Lynch, as was at first announced. Lynch was un- able to run, and Vance was substitut- ed at the last moment. The election of next year's cross- country captain will take place next week, at a time and place to be an- nounced later. PROFESSOR BIGELOW NARROWLY AVOIDS AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT Prof. S. L. Bigelow, of the chem-, istry department, narrowly escaped injury, at 11:00 o'clock, Thursday night, when his automobile was struck by a street car on Washtenaw avenue. The automobile was stand- ing when struck, Professor Bigelow having stopped to call his dog which had escaped from the machine. Three Classes Favor Return of J-Hop Three classes went on record yester- day, as favoring the reestablishment of the Junior hop, as proposed by George McMahon, '16, president of the junior lit class, and Don Smith, '16E, president of the Junior engineer class. The senior laws and the senior dents voted power to their presidents to sign the petition which is to be pre- sented to the committee on student activities, as did the first year laws, First year laws decided to have a dance soon after Christmas. The smoker which had been proposed for that week was postponed indefinitely. ed to two years. In 1876 the depart- ment became separate, with Dr. Albert B Prescott as its dean, in which ca- pacity he continued to serve until his death in 1905. It is impossible to make even an approximate estimate of the influence Dr. Prescott has had on the elevation of pharmaceutical education in the United States. He always stood for higher education in pharmacy, and was the first to recognize the import- ance of laboratory training in phar- macy. When he was entrusted with the organization of the department in 1868, he introduced these methods of instruction, and from that time to this a feature of the department has been the requirement of laboratory work from all students. Michigan was the first institution to grant a pharmaceutical degree without actual drug store experience. Dr. Prescott realized that this experience was something which was entirely out- side the control of a university facul- ty. It was the aim of the department therefore to replace the apprenticeship system with an actual laboratory course of instruction, under compe- tent instructors, so that the student would learn the manufacture of drugs under ideal conditions, In 1895 the faculty realized that, while graduates of its two year course were in demand, they would be much better qualified to hold most positions, if they were to have a more extended course, than it is possible to give in two years. A four year course, leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy, was therefore establish- ed. This gave an opportunity to in- clude. courses in mathematics, physics and one or more of the foreign lan- guages which are so necessary for sci- entific investigation. The degree of Master of Pharmacy which was granted from 1887 to 1895, was discontinued when the four year course was established. The depart- ment has granted about 1,500 degrees, SFtED B. SMITH WILL ADDRESS BOYS' CONFERENCE PROGRAM Celebrated Religions Worker Appears Every Year at Lake Geneva Assembly gir. Fred B. Smith, of New York, who will speak to men only, on the Boys' conference program, at Hill au- 0itorium at 3:30 o'clock Sunday af- ternoon, is ranked as one of the most successful religious speakers in the United States today. For years he has been identified with the Y. M. C. A. work, and he formerly traveled as secretary of the Interna- tional Y. M. C. A. committee. He is always on the program at the sum- mer conferences at Lake Geneva, Wis- consin. Last year he addressed the great Student Volunteer convention at Kansas City which 7,500 delegates at- tended. Mr. Smith was, one of the prime movers of the Men and Religion For- -ard movement which swept over the United States two years ago. He is now employed as secretary to the pres- ident of the H. W. Johns-Manville company.I He accepted this position on condition that he be given two days of each week to devote full time to re- ligious work. Besides his address for men in the afternoon, Mr. Smith will speak at the Baptist church at 10:30 o'clock Sun- day morning.' WORK OF HISTORY PROFESSOR RECEIVES PRAISE IN ENGLAND, Prof. A. L. Cross' book, "A History of England and Greater Britain" was highly rated in a review of the same in the last number of "The Athenae- um," an English publication. The arti- cle ended as follows: "Altogether, it may be doubted whether there is at present available another general in- troduction to English history, which, is ot the same time, so carefully and at- tractively written, and so obviously the product of a sound historian." Professor Cross' work, which came out early in August, has proven very popular as it has already been adopted by 35 institutions, the last to adopt it being Princeton. The demand was so great that it was found necessary to publish a second edition. MUNICH FOLK PLAYERS TO PLAY RETURN ENGAGEMENT MONDAY 1ichigan's Stands NOTED MEN AMONG FOUNDERS OF DRAMATIC CLUB IN 189 Under Leadership of Professor L. A. Strauss Since 1908, Society Shows Improvement No amount of searching among the records of the university, or consulting the oldest memories on the campus, has been able to cast enlightenment upon the definite founding of the Com- dy club. Though 'one of the olde4t forns of student endeavor, the dramatic organ- ization has changed names three times since 1895. It has seen periods of suc- cess and apparent failure, finally gaining a perfection of organization, which has placed the University of Michigan in no mean position of au- thority on collegiate dramatics. From the clubs, known as the "Thespians" and "The Dramatic Club," the present organization traces its lin- eage. The first production; as near as can be ascertained, was staged on May 10, 1895. Two farces comprised this initial production. They were "Woodcock's Little Game," and "Lend Me Two Shillings." Norman Hackett, Karl Harriman and James O'Donnel Bennett are names connected with the early history of the Comedy club. The plays were crudely produced, as compared with the offer- ings of today. Many struggles in the formation of an adequate constitution and personnel of the club ceaused hope of successful dramatics in,:the univer- sity to be almost forsaken. In 1908, Prof. L. A. Strauss, of the English department, took charge of the club. Under his guidance the membership of the organization was broadened and interest rekindled in student dramatics. ',The progress ef- fected in the past few years is notice- able in the style and quality of presen- tations staged by the club. "Money," "The Scarecrow," and "Pomander Walk" are plays of the first order, the latter being the production chosenE for this year. Professor Strauss' aim has been to modernize and advance the character of the plays given, realizing that stu-' dent interest can not be aroused in most cases by the productions of the past. It is to him that the Comedy club owes much, for its firm estab- lishment and success in recent years. With the inauguration of the month-j ly performance, the Comedy club has ALL TRYOUTS FOR OPERA CAST WILL MEET AT UNION MONDAY Plans For Spring Vacation Trip Draw Much Attention to Present Year's Show All members of the Michigan Union, who are interested in trying out for cast parts in the 1915 opera, are re- quested to meet at the Union Monday night at 7:00 o'clock. At this time, General Chairman K. S. Baxter, '15E, will explain the requirements for tak- ing parts in the cast,' and the date for the actual tryouts will be announced. The opera, as is well known, has both feminine and masculine roles to be filled. The men who have taken the leading women's parts during the last few years have made hits in practical- ly every case. With a trip already assured for spring vacation, it is expected that this year's production will attract more attention than any previous show. Two years ago the opera' went to Detroit and last year it was played in Chicago and Detroit, but never be- fore has anything like a six-day trip been planned. Michigan alumni associations in the cities to be visited will have charge of the production in each place. During the performance in Chicago last year, subscriptions were received of suffi- cient amounts to gutarantee the suc- cess of next spring's presentation. There is similar enthusiasm in the other cities in which the show will be staged.

The motif of the production is the cel- ebration before Easter and the Octo- bex Schutzenfest, and as the work is one of the. few of Schmid's which is not written in the Bavarian dialect, the appeal will be wider than usual.
