Barrett Preaches Sermon On "Christian Citizenship" Sunday, Dec. 5 Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 26.-A national convention, carried from a common center to Ann Arbor, and thence to the uttermost parts of Am- erica by simultaneous services, is an innovation in scientific organization original with the National Reform association, which opens its fifty-third annual convention in Pitt.burg, Pa., on December 5. Christian citizenship is the keynote of all the work of the National Reform association and to carry the message of the convention to those who cannot attend at Pittsburgh, all of the most distinguished clergymen of America have been invited to present Christian citizenship t9 their congregations on December 5th, as an integral part of the great national movement. The Rev. Leonard A. Barrett, of Ann Arbor, has been asked to preach a special sermon on the general theme of "Christian Citizenship," on Decem- b~r 5, .and thus the spirit of the conven- tion and its world-wide message will be brought to Ann Arbor. The"convention will continue- through three days, ending December when the Rev. Dr. S. ParkestCadman, of Brooklyn, N. Y., ,one of the most eloquent men in the country, will speak on "Christianity and Patriot- ism." Hon. Frank J. Cannon, the first Un- ited States senator elected by Utah, will discuss "The Mormon Kingdom," and will introduce Elder Vernon J. Danielson, of Independence, Mo., who comes to expose the innermost secret of the Mormon heirarchy. Dr. John K. McClurkin, of the Shady Side United Presbyterian Church, Pittsburgh; Mrs. Lulu L. Shepard, president of the Utah W. C. T. U.; Rev. Henry Collin Minton, of Trenton, N. J., president of the National Reform association; Rev. Dr. James S. Mc- Gaw, of Los Angeles, Cal.; Bishop Edwin H. Hughes, of the Methodist STUDENT RA PS FACULTY CLAIMS ACTION IN DEFEATING POETRY CLUB PLAN NARROW AND ARROGANT. Editor, The Michigan Daily:- The communication of Mr. Adams in Friday's Daily in regard to the faculty's attitude on the Poetry club emphasizes forcibly their attitude, in general, towards undergraduates. Ever since I came to this univer- sity, I felt gradually growing upon me the fact that there was too much faculty control over students and stu- dent organizations. That the univer- sity is our Alma Mater should not be construed to mean that the faculty body act in the nature of an ever- present parent whose consent must be secured for our every act and who feels that he must ,mold us all in the same educational pattern, at the same time attempting to squelch all originality and individuality among us. But such, it seems, is often the case. It seems, also, that the student body is placed more under high school disciplinary regulations than they are given the freedom of action which be- comes a higher institution of learn- ing. If students lack reliability and responsibility, they surely will never get these admirable qualities if it is constantly demanded of them that they hang on to the apron-strings of an arrogant faculty. It is indeed a pity that the origin- ality and initiative of earnest stu- dents, who have the interests of' the whole student body and faculty at heart, be so rudely frustrated. If the university stands for one thing, it st:nds for broad-mindedness; yet this recent action of members of the fac- ulty, who should in no wise lose sight of this purpose, reveals the fact that in their narrowness they are defeat- ing this very end. Rather than de- feat a plan such as was that of the originators of the Poetry club, they should welcome it with open arms and give it all encouragement. If faculty sanction cannot be had for this admirableproject, let it as- suredly go on under student aus- pices. Michigan ought not to be de- prived of this splendid opportunity of intimate acquaintances with the best contemporary poets and prose writers, merely because some mem- bers of the faculty feel childishly ag- grieved because the idea of inviting these representative men of letters to our campus did not originate with them. If art is "made tongue-tied by authority" let thosedearnest students of literature loose its tongue so that we may hear the living voices and; see living forms of these literary ar- tists. A.
