The snap and punch with which the acts followed each other character- ized the performance throughout. The Varsity Band was not lacking in the spirit which won it such glory last fall. L. B. Emerman, '18L. in his Scotch song, and the rapid fire car- totnig of Al Honey,'16D were well received. The Girls' Glee club in its act, "In Old Japan," was quite suc- cessful. The "All Campus Revue," a satire on the hits and misses of the campus, proved a great success, while the farce, "Shot at Sunrise," drew re- peated applause from the audience and was a big hit. W. T. Netter rendered his selection on the harp with great skill. Waldo Fellows, '14, who is always a favorite with Ann Arbor audiences, furnished much merriment and was forced to appear for several encores. He concluded with his imitation of the moving picture show, a feature which audiences never fail to enjoy.

Dr. Cook Attacks Hobbs in Speech t'alis Professor "Coward;" Hobbs Re- fuses' to Make Reply to Charge In answer to Prof. W. 'H. Hobbs' attack on him in a recent communica- tion to The Michigan Daily, Dr. Fred- erick A. Cook, in a lecture at a local theater last night, in the most vicious and scathing terms, publicly branded as false certain statements made against him in the article referring on the authenticity of his claims to the discovery of the North Pole. In his afternoon lecture, the ex- plorer announced that he would an- swer Professor Hobbs' branding of him and his expedition as a fake, in the evening. When Professor Hobbs did not put in an appearance last night, Dr. Cook assailed him as a "coward" in the most daring and for- cible language. Persons in the audi- ence said that it was the most daring thing they had ever heard. When called to the telephone last night, Professor Hobbs refused to make any statement in reply. "I have nothing to say," he said. When asked ,s to whether such a denunciation of himself was expected, following his ar- ticle of Tuesday in The Daily, Pro- fessor Hobbs said, "It was not unex- pected; it is just like Dr. Cook."

"It is claimed that engineering is a learned profession, but it is said that the engineer does not occupy as high a position among his fellows as do the members of the other learned profes- sions,--the lawyer, the doctor or the preacher." Speaks to Audience of 400 Ira O. Baker, professor of civil en- gineering at the University of Illinois, and the nation's foremost teacher of civil engineering, made the preceding declaration to an audience of nearly 400 engineering students gathered in West Physics hall yesterday. He fol- lowed the declaration with a clear and concise analysis of the condition and. then pointed out the remedy. "Admitting the conditions, it is worth while to inquire why they exist," said Professor Baker. "In the first place, this lack of influence of the en- gineer is not because of lack of edu- cation, for the usual requirements for admission and for graduation for en-, gineers are at least equal to those or- dinarily required for doctors and law- yers. Furthur, it is not because of lack of need of the engineer's services. Again, it is not because of lack of in- tellectual ability that engineers are not influential in their community." Engineers Deficient i lLanguage "I am persuaded that the chief rea- son why the engineer does not attain to the position in the public estimation which he might occup is because of wrong ideals. The reresentative en- gineers magnifies the importance of technical matters and is insistent upon acquiring a so-called "practical edu- cation." "As a result he lacks breadth of view, is weak in non-professional mat- ters, in knowledge of political proce- dure, of business methods, of labor conditions or of social problems.
