state. * * *
A gifted public speaker from his
college days, when he had won dis-
.inction in this field, he was in great
enmiand locally, and upon scores of
occasions ably represented the univer-
sity in meetings of her alumni from
the Atlantic to the Pacific.
All these activities into which he
thr'ew himself with his usual abandon
and disregard of self, overtaxed his
great vitality, and in February, 1912,
his health gave way. * * * He died
at fifty-nine, but into his few years'
he crowded achievement which most'
men might well be proud to leave as
the record of a long life. * * *
Dean Reed was a man of broad cul-
ture and wide sympathy. * * * Posi-
tive and strong in his attachments
and interests, he leaves a host of stu-
dents all over the country, who love
him and look back to the time when
the influence of his strong personality
was a turning point in their lives. In
gree the wisdom of this state in wel-
coming to her university students from
every quarter. Michigan builded wiser
than she knew when she provided the
open .door through which John Oren
Reed entered to prepare for the life
he was to give so unreservedly and
so effectively to the service of the
state that welcomed him. '

Marguerite Hields at tihe Majestic
The coming week at the Majestic
theatre promises to be remembered in
the annals of theatricals, when the
management has decided to adopt an
entirely new policy of changing the
bill every night and giving two specialI
matinee plays. Two shows will be
given daily, except Monday, with only
a night performance.
The attraction will be Marguerite
Fields and her splendid company of
conmpetenot actors.
The management of the Marguerite
Fields Company have included in the
list of plays to be offered during the
company's , engagement such well-
known successes as "The Common
Law," "A Widow by Proxy, "Wife or
Affinity," "Green Stockings," "Kick In,"
"A Doll's House," and "The Law of
the Land."
Majestic-Today
The photoplay at the Majestic on
Sunday will be one that will attract
great crowds. It is William E. Shay
and Claire Whitney in the "Ruling
Passion," a story of an Oriental ha-
rem, a fatal love, and the incense of
the warm East. These are the basis
and the background of the picture. It
is exciting, and was photographed in
the West Indies.
ACfter a number of exciting esca-
pades, the woman of 1 he slums escapes
from the harem and tells that the Ha-
jahl has in his harem a white woman,
who is being slowly poisoned. Knowl-
edge of the fact is transmitted to the
British Resident, who orders that the
report be investigated. The Prince in-
cites his followers to revolt against the
British rule. Just as his army is leav-
ing the palace, the Prince is killed by
the daughter of a man whose eyes
he burned out.
The victim arrives at home. When
she asks for her husband, she is told
that he is dead. Grief-stricken at the
realization of the sin she has com-
mitted, she falls back dead:

JOHN OXEN REEl)
Never, perhaps, within a twelve-
month has death made such inroads
upon the university faculty as in the
year ending with January. The last
to be called was John Oren Reed, who
died on January 23, at the home of his'
brother in Cleveland, Ohio. Beginning
his life December 31, 1856, at New-
castle, Indiana, and always a devoted
son of his native state, he was, nev-
ertheless, essentially a Michigan man,
and he loved Michigan's university
with a devotion for which no effort or
sacrifice was too great. * * *
He gave the zast 20 years of his
active life, as teacher and administra-
tor, to her service with such zeal and
such disregard of self that it may tru-
ly be said he gave his life for his
work in her behalf.
Dean Read, as he cane to be known
in 'his later years, seemed born for
leadership. Before he had completed
his university course he had served
for two years as principal of the New-
castle, Indiana, high school. * * *
Young, vigorous, resolute, a lover of
books, a hater of the student attitude
that seeks the path of least resistance,
he found a kind of joy in doing a
thing because it was hard. College
life for him had a serious purpose,
and he was a bitter opponent of all
organizations and forms of amusement
which tended to dissipate a student's
time or to divert him from the true
purposes of a university course. * * s
Because of his ability as a student
and the impress of his personality,
he had the very rare distinction, im-
mediately upon graduation from the
university in 1885, of being chosen
principal of one of the most important
Michigan high schools, that at East
Saginaw. * * * Resigning in 1891,
he went to Harvard University to
continue his studies in physics, the
subject tp which he 'had decided to
devote himself. He had not finished
the year when he answered a call from
his alma mater to join the physics
faculty. * * *
Hee ntered with joy upon his career
as instructor, professor, and finally
head of the physics department, a
position which he held at the time of

his death. In this work he found his
greatest delight. Here the lovable
qualities of his nature were fully re-
vealed, and by reason of thepersonal
devotion he inspired in his co-workers
the department faculty became very
like a family. * * * His chief con-
tributions to science were in the field
of optics and acoustics and he wrote
for the technical journals many papers
upon these subjects. He was also,
alone and in conjunction with his col-
leagues, author of severalkimportant
school and college textbooks. * *
The intensity and thoroughness with
which he worked, as well as his iin
guistic facility, is well shown in the
fact that he was able to go to Ger-
many and in a year and a half do

But to the general educational world
Dean Reed is best known as an ad-
ministrator. His experience as high

the University. The constructive abil-
ity shown in this office pointed to
him as the fittest man in 1907 to suc-

lege of Literature, Scienc , and the
Arts, a position he adorned and filled
with conspicuous ability.

positiveness and fearlessness, found,
full play, and enabled him to wield
great influence, not merely upon the
university but upon the whole educa
