President Harry B. Hutchins will
be the principal guest at the 18th
annual reunion of the University of
Michigan club of New York, to be

break every precedent in the history

planning a reunion with no banquet,
no toastmaster, no evening dress, no
set speeches, and no formal program.
A reception to President Hutchins.
is planned at 6 o'clock, followed by a
table d'hote dinner served in the Au-
tomobile club grill. After the dinner
there will be a smoker.

the learned University students de-
light in sailing hand made ships
around in dishpans set under the eng-
ineering arch. In plain ordinary Eng-
lish, Quarterdeck, the marine engin-

MUST RECOGNIZE
RUSS REVOLTION
Cannot Approve Bolshevik Policy,
However, Says President t
Wilson
EFFORTS MADE TO HASTEN
LEAGUE OF NATIONS PLANt
(By Havas Agency)
Paris, Jan. 24:-President Wilson's
plan for dealin with the Russiant
problem includes the "unconditionalf
recognition of the revolution" by thet
representatives of the associated pow-
ers, according to the Paris Petit Pa-
risien newspaper, which declares its!
information comes from "an especial-e
ly authorized source." Of this rec-
ognition its informant says:
"This must be construed as imply-
ing recognition from all the conse-
quences of the Russian revolution as
far as the former government of the
czar is concerned, but in no way is
it an approval of the bolshevik pol-
icy."
Bolsheviki In Danger
Both the Paris Journal and the
Paris Petit Parisien point to the dan-
ger in which the bolsheviki are re-
ported to stand in losing Petrograd.
They declare that a defeat at Novas
ought to be regarded by the soviet
government as a serious warning.
Urge Immediate Adoption
(By Associated Press);
Paris, Jan. 24.-Responses to de-
niands in the United States and Great;
Britain, which are echoed from Ger-
many, for an immediate conclusion
of the peace query, efforts are be-
ing made to hasten the adoption of,
a plan of a league of nations. It,
Is declared to be a conviction of,
the delegates that no definite pro-I
posal can be made until certain
definite questions have been an-
swered by the congress.
Such questions as the re-ar-
rangement of boundaries, the as-
sumption of indemnities and repara-
tion, and the creation of constituted
authority, are regarded as the bas-
is of the treaty of peace, and not 1
only the American delegates, but al-
so the British and French delegates
are understood to be of the opinion
that these questions can be safely
composed in special peace treaties,
but must be founded on the gen-
eral principles forming the basis
of a league of nations.
Delegates May Leavye Soon
Another consideration is that if
the treaty of peace is signed first,
there will be little disposition among
the delegates to linger in Paris to
complete a league of nations.
Vaccination Urged
by Health Service
Three new cases of pneumonia and
one death, all among people between
20 and 30 years old, have been re-
ported to the University Health serv-
ice during the last 24 hours. Pneumo-
nia is a disease especially prevalent
among young adults. For this rea-
son Doctor Wessinger urges all stu-
dents to be vaccinated against this
disease. The Health Service has on
hand plenty of pneumonia vaccine,
recently received from the army
medical school at Washington and
guaranteed by the government. The
vaccine is free to students, who may
be vaccinated without cost at the
Health Service.
Princeton institutes Capel Service

WAR RECORD FORM
TO BE DISCUSSED

versity men who served during the war
will be made in card index or book
form will be discussed at the next
meeting of the committee appointed
by the Board of Regents to compile
a war service record. The committee
will meet Thursday, Jan. 30.
If this record is published in book
form, the committee will judge wheth-
er it will be sold, given away, or a
few copies kept on file at the Uni-
versity. The plausibility of making
the Civil war record, which is now
complete, will also be discussed at
the meeting.
The committee is composed of Re-
gents F. B. Leland, chairman, and
J. 0. Murfin, Of Detroit; W. L. Clem-
ents, of Bay City, and Profs. H. L.

ference with Mr. Haines at 10 o'clock

viewed in the light of a tryout, but
will be held for the purpose of lining
up the prospective actors and giving
them an idea of what will be expected.
Suggestions Acceptable

ed, the author is willing to make
changes to incorporate any additions
which may be suggested.

Taking the lead early in the gam
it was soon apparent that Chica
was going to make it their thi
straight win. Gorgas, the Maroon ce

veteran, Michigan might have carri
away the honors.
Karpus performed well for MiU
igan worrying the opposing guar
by clever dodging. The Wolverin
were poor on shooting and lost nu

made. Both Cohn and Williams a:
played their usual good game, the 1
ter being the biggest factor in keepi
the Maroon's score so low.

Chicago appears to have a good o
portunity for the Conference til
Their team is composed of veters
