nasium yesterday evening.
"At one time," President Hutchins
'ontinued, "I feel as though I were in
China and South Africa and Chile. I
do not believe that we are conscious
of the different nationalities represent-
ed here tonight. It is your presence
that is making the University of Mich-
igan an international university. This
cosmopolitan university gives you
great opportunities to learn men and
their different viewpoints, which is
quite as important as to learn from
books."
Prof. J. A. C. Hildner was chairman
of the evening, and before introducing
the student speakers called upon Dean
Mortimer E. Cooley, who spoke cf thCe
possibilities of one universal people,
the significance of which, he said, was

American customs, manners and
ideals. Narayan S. Hardikar, grad.,

Committees
14 COMMITTEES ANNOUNCED
"Devotion to your work and to your
fellow worker is the factor which
makes more for success than any
other personal 'characteristic," de-
clared Prof. John C. Parker, head
of the electrical engineering depart-
ment, to the senior engineers at their
assembly yesterday.
"Isay devotion, as opposed to
duty," continued Prof. Parker. "De-
votionas springing from the heart
and duty from the mind. Duty' has
a hard sound and the world is at
odds with the idea of love of work.
'Devotion' on the other hand has a
beauty and appeal and includes the
love of the worker for the work."
Prof. Parker who has recently come
from a position at the head of the
Rochester Railway and Light, Roch-
ester, N. Y., has had the employing
of about 150 college graduates. He
has kept these men under observa-
tion and he declares that devotion
to the work and to the workman be-
side him is the biggest fator that
has led to graduates promoton. He
said in conclusion, "If you can get
the right idea of devotion you will
have a big ideal operating through-
out your professional life and true
happiness will result."
