liant Affair
BARBOUR GIM WELL DECORATED
Decorated in maize and blue and the
national colors, Barbour gymnasium
presented a fitting background for the
brilliant gathering of faculty members
f the university invited by President
arry B. Hutchins and the regents of
e University of Michigan to the Con-
cation Day reception last evening.
In the ante-room the hosts and their
ives received the guests, among
whom were particularly included the
new members of the teaching staff and
administration and their wives. As-
sembled in the gymnasium proper were
the older faculty members who wel-
comed the newcomers to the ballroom,
gayly trimmed with greens and the
colors, in the midst of which a yellow
letter "M" blazed in electric lights.
During the evening a program of
dancin'g was followed. Later the
gnests descended to the dining-room,
decorated with pink roses and ivy,
where supper was served.
The affair was in charge of Profes-
sor Warren P. Lombard, of the physi-
ology department, assisted by Profes-
sor George W. Patterson, of the engi-
neering college, as chairman of the
entertainment committee. This Con-
vocation Day reception has been sub-
stituted for the President's Reception
which was formerly given, and it is
held on the evening of the day when
the student body meets for its huge
expression of the unity of its mem-
bers in their loyalty to their college.

With the presentation of a spherical
shaped balloon by the Aero Club ofi
Michigan to the university, a new
chapter in the growth of the aeronau-
tics/ department has been opened.
411 the data concerning the size of
th G balloon has not yet been received,
but enough can be learned to make
c'rtain that it is a monster one. The
jhasket is spacious enough to carry
four people comfortably, but the num-
ber of ballast sacks indicate that the
balloon has been used to carry two
people for a long distance. This type
of balloon is lifted by ordinary light-
ing gas and is extremely popular for
long-distance flights and altitude
trials.
The balloon is in only fair condi-
tion, and the aeronautics department
does not expect to have it ready for
use until early next spring.
Last year the University Aero club
was the recipient of a model B Wright
biplane, donated by Russell A. Alger,
of Detroit. Mr. Alger is president of
the Aero Club of Michigan. The ma-
chine was damaged when the first
flight was attempted, and was sent to
a Saginaw firm for repairs.
A bill of $200 was presented during
the summer, and as the club had no
funds, a plan was agreed upon where-
by the repairmen would use the ma'-
chine for exhibitions in Saginaw and
would let 20 per cent of the gate re-
ceipts apply on the repair bill.bItris
expected that the machine will be re-
turned in the spring.

Polonia e i b will hold its first meet-
ing of the y?' at 2:00 o'clock tomor-
row in McMillt hall. Officers for the

York & Sawyer, the architects who
designed the Martha Cook building,
seem to have struck a new note in
thoroughgoing art on. the Michigan
campus, according to Prof. Herbert
Cross, of the fine arts department.
"This structure," states Professor
Cross, "is an excellent example of the
English collegiate gothic architecture
such as is found at Oxford and Cam-
bridge. It .is a permanent lesson in
beauty and fine ta which should
stimulate a similar r-ponse from all
those who are so fortunate as to live
within its walls."
By looking at the dormitory from
either side where the buttress system
is especially' noticeable one gains a
favorable impression of the architec-
ture. The whole surface between the
buttresses is filled almost entirely by
a succession of broad windows of Eng-
lish gothic design.
The oaken doors at the front are
modelled after the Tudor gothic style.
Above the center of the arch is a va-
cant canopied niche, and what statue
will be placed there the architects
have not yet announced.

AT CONVOCATION

those who fAnd time and the inclina-
tion to have any children, to live in
greater luxury and to have advantages
denied themselves as children.
"If the present-day tendency to-
ward deterioration keeps on, we will
have to depend upon a weak, soft-
muscled, flimsy-fibered people for the
defense of the republic," he added, la-
menting our woeful physical unfitness
for war should we be called upon.
"What we need in our homes is a
reversion to some of the homely things
of earlier days when father's or moth-
er's word was law; when quinine was
given off a knife blade, and not in
capsules to hide the taste; when ca-
yenne pepper was taken in hard cider
for a cold. Those were the days when
boys and girls were in such good phys-
ical condition that they could fall out
of apple trees and encounter all sorts
of mishaps without being disabled and
sent to a hospital. There was mighty
little petting in those days."
Comparing the track athlete of to-
day with the youthful aspirant of the
old foot race, he said, "The running
time for a race was the same, but the
country boy, instead of lying on the
grass to be pumped up after the race,
continued on whistling and calling the
cows."
Modern methods of teaching are
blamed by Dean Cooley for the many
students who come to the university
without even knowing how to study.
"The teacher should guide and ex-
pound, being always careful not to do
the work the student should do for
himself, if he would get the right re-
sults. He should be the helmsman who
steers the ship-not the power which
propels it."
The new students w°r welcomed on
behalf of the univer ity by President
Harry B. Hutchins in a short intro-
ductory address. President Hutchins
said that he wished to impress on all
first year men, for all time, that when
a student dnters this university he be-
comes not only a member of the par-
ticular college which he enters but a
member of the whole university and
of its alumni body of 30,000 as well.
President Hutchins gave his hearty
endorsement to the new Michigan
Union clubhouse project, saying that
not only did it deserve support be-
cause it will be such a great gather-
ing place for students and alumni, but
far more important, that it will bring
the University of Michigan before the
eyes of not only this country but of
the whole world as well.
Singing by the students and faculty
was led by Prof. A. A. Stanley, of the
school of music, with Earl V. Moore,
'12, playing the organ accompaniment.
The invocation and benediction were
given by the Rev. Lloyd C. Douglass,
pastor of the Congregational church.

tals to the local office prevents the

day campaign today, but a misunder-
standing on the part of a majority ofa
the committees will delay the an-
nouncement of the total subscribed
until tomorrow morning.

FELLOWSHIP OF $500 OFFERED
On the completion of the new high-
way engineering laboratory now being
constructed in the north half of the
old boiler house, Michigan will have
to offer one of the best equipped lab-
oratories in the country, according to
authorities. A complete equipment of
new and modern machines, and plenty
of laboratory space, are the factors
which will bring this about, according
to Prof. J. J. Cox, head of the depart-
ment.
Recognition of the possibilities of
the laboratory has already been given,
as a fellowship in highway engineer-
ing has been established. R. D. Cha-
pin, president of the Hudson Motor
Car Co., Detroit, is the donor, and the
object of the fellowship is the study,
of road conditions in Michigan. The
fellowship amounts to $500 a year for
a period of three years.

LARGE NUMBER OF CANDIDATES
APPEAR AT GLEE CLUB TRYOUTS
Overflow Will be Given Opportunity
Tonight to Prove Its
Ability
As more than 150 glee club tryouts
crowded the school of music last night,
proving too many for one evening, the
management was forced to schedule
another meeting for tonight. By mid-
night some 75 students had demon-
strated their ability before Director
Theodore Harrison and U. S. Wilson,
'16. First tenors are in especial de-
mand.
Those who have cards above .75 and
those who have not yet secured any
will report at 7:00 o'clock tonight in
the school of music. Members of last
year's glee club who have not reported
up to date will also be on hand at the
same time.
