THEI MICHIGAN DAILY. FE USic BUSINESS FEATURES The Advertisers' Club I ENGLISH COLLEGES HAR HT BY STRIFE ATHLETES DYING IN TRENCHES WHILE PHYSICALLY UNFIT RE- MAIN BEhIND. GOVERNMENT PLACES FOR DONS In normal times a certain propor- tion of officers of the regular English army have come from the universi- ties of Oxford and Cambridge, but since the beginning of the war no .other British institutions have been so vitally affected. The entire ob- ject of these universities was to train young men of the age and social stand-4 ing who would be the most likely to go to the front. Since the new units have been raised to almost indefinite numbers, the diminution in the num- ber of undergraduates has be'en re- markable. For the most part the men who are now attending the universities are1 physically incapacitated from joining the army, and they lack the love for athletic characteristics of the ordin- ary Oxford and Cambridge men. The upper-class students, or "bloods" have been fighting and dying for months in the trenches. . The athletes of the schools were the first to answer the call to arms, the crews, cricket teams, cross-country runners, and even the average men have joined the army. The war has dealt a terrible blow to the teaching staff of the universi- ties. In spite of the endowments of the schools all of them were more or less dependent on fees from the under- graduates. Some of the instructors have not earned a single cent since the opening of the struggle. The fel- lowships have fallen greatly in value because the colleges had invested so much in university property. At Cam- bridge a large number of undergradu- ates have to live in houses licensed by the university. When the graduates disappeared the lodging houses were left vacant an, the b .sees have been utterly unable to pay the rents. The colleges La-o been faced with t"': dilemma o' (ijsicssing and thereby ruiing a ct eo f:orthy tenants or of remitting the rents an, pocketing the less. Up to this tim"' the universities, have stood by their tenants and are bearing the exper.se of maintenance. Some relief las bee:i furnished the university comiunities by the great demand of the government for assist- ance. The dons, skilled in science, have been eagerly drafted by the govern- ment for scientific work, and a great number of the other fellows have found jobs more or less lucrative in the enlarged government departments. Since the buildings can no longer New Pub1ic ations, and Their Authors be used for teaching purposes the gov-r ernmnent has turned them into bar- racks. Though the names of the un- dergraduates still remain on the stair- cases as in the old days of peace, their rooms have been emptied of their furn- iture and have been turned over to the soldiers. Not since the Civil war when the army of Charles Ioccupied Oxford as its headquarters have such scenes been witnessed in one of thef ancient universities. To the dons the war is brought home daily by the casualty lists. As they sit in their rooms they think of the men who have lived on the same stair- cases with theim and who have been part of their daily lives, whom they. will never see again. Thousands of Oxford and Cambridge men have al- ready figured in the rolls of honor, and thousands yet are sure to go. How- ever, those who have studied the his- tory of the great universities take courage from the past, and believe that when the war is over there will be a great rush to the seats of learn- ing.

GORKY'S LATER MANNER The reviving interest in Russian lit- erature manifests itself not only in the demand for books now being pub- lished but for those of earlier fame. Gorky is the link that unites the old school of Russian novelists with the younger men today. His last two books of fiction are "The Spy," a novel, and "Tales of Two Countries," a col- lection of short stories that represent his exile in Italy. The former is in his best early maner and the latter represents a transition to a method in which he sacrifices none of his pri- stine power but discloses an artistry not evidenced in the same degree in those of his books which made his name a household word. SET THE BRITISH HOUSE IN ORDER How to avert another such cata- clysm is a question which must con- cern us now; and, so that we shall know what steps to take to make an- other such war improbable, we must learn the whole truth of our lohg con- nection with international militarism. We cannot crush Germany, we cannot destroy Prussian militarism, we cannot liberalize Russia, we cannot make the Powers disarm, we cannot affect the royal and republican despotism of the Continent, no matter how great a victory we achieve. And the greatest victory to British arms will serve no democratic purpose unless the British people now firmly make up their mind+ to set their own house in order first.+ That is a matter they can turn their attention to without waiting for. the war to end.

His telegram reads as follows: "Will consider your pro- position. Contract here expires 1916, but could probably get released before then" Some days ago, Coach Warner of the University of Pittsburgh was mentioned as a possible candidate for the position.
