I WAR RELIEF The average American, especially if he lives in an inland town like Ann Arbor, has little conception of the vast work that is being done in this coun- try toward alleviating the suffering of the sick and homeless persons in those portions of Europe and Asia made barren by the giant strugglings of hostile armies. It needs only a mere-skimming of the reports sent out in the bulletins of the War Relief Clearing House, and similar organiza- tions, to realize what a mammoth task humanity is called upon to face. In the invaded provinces of France' alone there is a population of 2,112,- 000 without clothes sufficient to en- able them to withstand the rigors of the winter, to which weakened con- stitutions due to a lack of food make theni peculiarly susceptible. Relief organizations in Franee are trying to care for 175,000 homeless and parent- less children. The bulletin states that they are "received in a shocking state of filth; their clothing being in rags,: and they are frequently suffering from skin diseases." Cotton is needed to stop the bleeding of the wounded men. Medicines are needed for 60,000 con- sumptives who have been evicted from their homes with nothing except the clothes which they happened to have on at the time. The list of things needed is interminable but the most urgent need is for food, clothing and medicines. Michigan, so far, has been most backward in her help, but there 'is yet time to mend. Boxes on the campus will take care of cash contributions, and clothing and similar contributions will be called for if word is sent to Mrs. L. P. Hall. OKLAHOMA UNIVERSITY HEAD IS VISITOR ON MICHIGAN CAMPUS Stratton D. Brooks, '96, president of he University of Oklahoma as Norman, Okla., was in the city yesterday visit- ing the university as the guest of Wil- Xred B. Shaw, '04, editor of The Michi- gan Alumnus. After leaving the uni- ersity, Mr. Brooks was superintendent of public schools in Boston, Mass., for 10 years, when he assumed the presidency of the Oklahoma institu- tion, which office he has held for the past four years. Selected Editorial WHO ARE THE LOWBROWS? (New York Tribune) We all know what a highbrow is, but there seems to be some divergence of view regarding the lowbrow. Dr. David Starr Jordan has just explained that a lowbrow is only one degree re- moved from a roughneck, but at first this will seem rather more confusing than enlightening, since many of us have been accustomed to using the two terms, roughneck and lowbrow, int-rchangeably. The good doctor even reters to a large class of undergradu- ates as lowbrows, and roughnecks, we know, never go to college; they scorn the very suggestion with an abysmal contempt. It is only too evident that most of us have been classifying our brothers with a lack of particularity amount- ing almost to looseness. We have been calling those lowbrows who were simply roughnecks, and we have been confusing social with intellectual op- probrium. If Dr. Jordan's codifica- tion of these epithets be accepted, the lowbrow need suffer under no social disability. He may simply be "too practical," while the highbrow i "not practical enough." In other words, the lowbrow is he who is given to the purely objective and concrete view of things..i-He hasa fondness for the immediate business in hand; he pre- fers football to philosophy, the market place to the library. But if there are too many lowbrows n college, so there are too many high- brows. One highbrow is one too many, if for no other reason than be- cause he is a breeder of lowbrows. Nothing makes one a 'lowbrow so quickly as living with a highbrow. And perhaps it works the other way round, also; but since becoming a highbrow is the more conscious reac- tion of the two, it should be the more easily controlled. We should suggest that, whether in college or out, the highbrows meet the lowbrows half way and abolish forever the need of frontal measurement.
