Poling, national superin- tendent of temperanee ai& Christ- ian citizenship of the Christian Endeavor. The author names cosmopolitanism as being one of the chief requirements of the drama of the present age. The dramatist must appeal, not only to his own countrymen, but to the people of all nations. He, therefore, must have a wide knowledge of humanity and ab- solute control of dramatic technic. The drama exists today, not as an example of "art for art's sake," but as an example of "art for life's sake." It has a very definite intent toward which every detail must play its part. Very often the object is one of social reform, in which case the play re- Kflects one of the strongest currents of thought of present day life. The author speaks at some length regarding the change of attitude to- ward the three unities originated by Aristotle. In this connection, he men- tious the addition of a fourth unity- the creation of an atmosphere. He names Maeterlinck as a conspicuou& example of the master of a peculiar technic that creates a definite atmos- phere which plays a strong part in revealing the intent of the play. Plays are concerned with average people- and every-day circumstances- and not with mysterious and romantic situations as formerly. They appeal to a thinking, intelligent public, rather than to the pleasure-seeking audience. There is a constantly growing tend- ency toward doing away with the so- called ."hero" of a play and substitu- ting in his place a unity of impression. "The modern drama is marked by that creeping paralysis of external action of which Maeterlinck speaks. The in- terpreter of contemporary life has dis- covered that an emotion is as thrill- ing a dramatic theme as an action." Present day drama is first and last an expression of the life and thought of the people. L. R. B.

Carroll, the captain of last year's all-fresh squad was the first to have his name entered in the mile column, the sophomore turning in a mark of 4:48. Lynch, the two-miler on the fresh team two years ago, but wo was not in college last year, bettered Car- roll's mark later by two seconds, cov- eting the distance in 4:46. This is creditable time for so early in the season, although the mark will prob ably fall later on in the year. M. G. Robinson was the first to go down on the chart over the three lap distance, doing it in 47 2-5. Hardell, one of the candidates for the all-fresh track team held the four lap record for a day, although Burby has lower- ed his mark of 1:06 2-5 by more than a second, getting credit for 1:05 1-5. Donnelley's mark of 2:51 for nine laps still stands, and apparently seems ;destined to do so for some time, al- though it will probably fall when the men round into better condition. Coach Farrell stated that he would not be surprised to see it stand, however, un- til after the examinations°. "Jimmy" Craig was out yesterday afternoon assisting Coach Farrell with athe sprinters. Craig announced that he would continue to turn out in the afternoon as much as possible to as- sist "Steve." An effort will be made to get "Hap" Haff to turn out also, to -assist Coah Farrell in whipping the team into shape. Both of these men were track stars in former years, and their presence would materially assist. HARVARD PROFESSOR TO SPEAK %asaharu Anesaki Will Talk on Art and Religious Subjects i Masaharu Anesaki, graduate of the Imperial University of Tokyo, and at present professor of Japanese Litera- ture and Life at Harvard, will lecture in Ann Arbor at 4:15 o'clock February 11 and 12. The lectures will be given 'in Alumni Memorial hall, and are open to all who are interested in Japanese art and religion., The address Thursday afternoon will be on "Japanese Art," and will be fully illustrated by over 50 lantern sl des. The talk will be in the nature of a general survey of Japanese art as a whole. On Friday, "A Prophet of Japanese Buddhism" will be the sub- ject on which Professor Anesaki will talk. Professor Anesaki has studied in Germany, England and India, and has had several books published in Eng- lish, besides many in the Japanese language. GARI MELCHERS, NOTED ARTIST, PAYS VISIT TO THE UNIVERSITY Gari Melehers, noted Detroit artist, was in Ann Arbor Tuesday for a short visit. Dr. Melchers was granted the honor- ary degree of LL.D by the University of Michigan two years ago, under cir- cumstances that necessitated, for the first time, the waiving of the require- ment that all recipients of degrees be present at the time of the award. This exceptional action was taken as the result of illness contracted by Dr. Mel- chers on the Journey from Pais to Ann Arbor, which forced him to be confined to a hospital in New York for some time. During this confine- ment the degree was granted. PROF. L. H.

BY PROFESSOR J. E. EMSWILER After the first wing of the new engi- neering building had been planned, and built, in 1904, it can well be imag- ined that the faculty and regents must have sat back and heaved a sigh of contentment with the thought that it would accommodate the work of the engineering department for a good many generations of classes to come. But the years immediately succeeding saw that wonderful growth of the uni- versity in general, and of the engineer- ing department in particular, so that -by the year 1910 it had become neces- sary to extend the building to its pres- ent dimensions. And even now, the department finds itself constricted in space for much of its work. The building contains the offices of the dean, assistant dean, and secretary of the departments of engineering and architecture. It houses all the work of the several sbdepartmerits, except chemical engineering, shop work, sur- veying and some of the language work. The department of forestry also oc- cupies a part of the building. One of the objectionable features of the building is the presence of labora- tories and classrooms in such close proximity to each other. The automobile laboratory and the brick Rattler, have entrenched them- selves firmly at the top of the list as the best noise producers. The laboratories, of course, furnish the material expression of the work done in the department. And since engineering deals essentially with ma- terial things, it is but natural that the laboratories should be extensive. The -new engineering building contains the laboratories of the departments of engineering mechanics; electrical en- gineering including dynamo-electric machinery and telephones and tele- graphs; marine engineering; mechani- cal engineering including hydraulic machinery and automobiles; and civil engineering which, is represented by the highway engineering laboratory. The telephqne laboratory includes the campus exchange of the Michigan State Telephone company. It is locat- ed just off the arch, in the west side. A little further beyond, is the opera ting room of the wireless station. The aerials stretch from two poles 300 feet apart just south of the building, and also from the 150-foot stack of the old Power House. The highway laboratory is an estab- lishment of comparatively recent be- ginning. So closely is work of this kind connected with the public wel- fare of the state, that the regents have ruled that all material samples be test- ed free of charge. The engineering mechanics labora- tory contains machinesand apparatus for determining the physical proper- ties of the materials which enter into engineering construction, chiefly iron, steel, wood, and concrete. The most important of these properties is their strength, so most of the machines in the laboratory are built for determin- ing how much pull, or push, or twist, or bending, a sample of material will undergo before breaking. Not only are samples tested, but complete parts of machines, as for example automobile wheels, and engine crank shafts. The capacities of the testing machines vary the laboratory are built for determin- ing how much pull, or push, or twist a sample of material will undergo be- fore breaking. The capacities of the the laboratory of the Forestry depart- ment, where may be seen specimens and sections of nearly all different kinds of wood. In addition, the For- estry department is now installing machines for testing the investigation of the strength of different kinds of wood. Still farther along the corridor, is the entrance to the lower floor of the mechanical laboratory. The apparatus on this floor consists of hydraulic ma- chinery, the larger steam engines and gas engines, a small steam boiler, house heating furnaces, the machines and apparatus of the automobile lab- oratory, air compressors, an ice mak- ing plant, and two large tanks install- ed permanently on scales, for measur- ing large quantities of water. Each. tank can hold 40,000 pounds of water. Among the apparaus of most general interest on this floor are the pumps which furnish the water for fire pro- tection on the campus. Two of these are rotary pumps driven by electric motors, which' can be operated from current supplied either from the lines of the Eastern Michigan Edison Co., or from the new university power plant. The. pumps draw their supply of water from the naval tank, which holds about 500,000 gallons. One of the pumps is located beneath the level of the water in the naval tank, so that it will never have to suck water up to its level, thus eliminating a difficulty which sometimes gives trouble in get- ting the water started. Besides these there is an old Blake recriprocating pump which saved the old medical building in the summer of 1910, and no doubt prevented the destruction of University hall at the time of the fire in the south. wing a few years ago. The two rotary pumps can deliver 75,000 gallons each per hour while the Blake pump can handle 40,000 gallons.. The automobile laboratory has, among other features of interest, a flock of eight or ten automobile en- gines of from one to six cylinders; a new electric dynamometer for testing, and a complete chassis. The disap- pointing thing about the chassis is that it can not be made to run on its own power, owing to sundry slices being cut here and there out of its most important mechanism. But these' Icut out places enable one to see just how the different inside parts of an automobile work. The smaller engines and other n chinery are located on the upper fl of the mechanical laboratory. On 1 floor, also are two steam turbin When running full speed, the shaft one of these machines-the De La turbine-makes 20,000 turns in a m ute. The wheel, which carries blades, on which the steam acts, only 9 inches in diameter. It it wi allowed to roll along on the grou at the speed at which it runs in turbine, it would make the trip fi Ann Arbor to Chicago and return 56 minutes, including the climb State St. hill. Or if a silver do were tied to the rim of this wh the centrifugal force would make try to get away with a pull of abot ton and a half. Such a machine cc never save money in this way, bu is more successful where used for p ducing power. The electrical engineering labo tory occupies the lower floor of extreme north end of the build: Electrical machinery gives an obser an impression quite different from machinery in the mechanical labo tory, because, he can not see v much "works" about them. But electrical engineer has a number instruments which tell him what going on inside his machine. One the most interesting of these in electrical laboratory is the osci graph, used for observing and reco ing the shape of the wave curve of lternating current circuit. To the unmechanically inclined, new engineering (building offers so attractions of interest. The pictk and drawings exhibited by the Depa ment of Architecture are always interest. The department has projecting 1 terns and many hundreds of lani slides for instructional work. So of the lanterns have reflecting attE ments whereby pictures in books catalogs may be thrown upon screen. For the proper ventilation of building, there are three great fa besides several smaller ones. The f are concealed within the dark reces of the "fan rooms," and are sel seen by students, except those v take up the study of Heating and V, tilation. When the three fans operating, their combined delis amounts to about two tons of air minute.
