It would seem a reasonable presumption that the
practical ideals of the University should bring about
a change. -Port Huron Times-Herald.
FACULTY DIFFERENCES
Two naturally divergent points oif view are doubt-
less behind the differences between instructors and
adminstration of the University. The meeting
Thursday of the Association of Instructors brought
out that a movement was on foot to investigate pos-
sibilities of employment elsewhere, due to the low
salaries here ; thzt instructors felt there was not
sufficient frankness between them and the heads of
departments; and that there was an opinion in favor
of giving instructors a vote on faculty matters
after three years of teaching. Instructors, naturally'
impatient at the time of seeming unnecessary ap-,
prenticeship required before they are permitted to
-become professors, and disgusted with salaries
smaller than the stipends granted to manual labor-
ers, may be expected to show some resentment and
some ambition to, 'better their lot. On the other,
hand, the departmental executives doubtless feel that
the proper esprit de corps of a great university, the
sense of respect for the administration and the best
teaching efficiency can only be gained by just this
sort of slow advancement based on time and qual-
ity of service.
It is not, of course, 'the University's fault that
salaries are so low. Every effort has been made to
secure necessary funds from the state for the pur-
pose of bringing them up to within a reasonable
,margin of the value of services received. Perhaps
this is at the basis of the entire difficulty, and the'
declarations of the instructors may serve to awaken
the state to the danger facing its system of public
instruction if iI remains unwilling to compete with
other employers for the talents of its public servants
in the chairs of higher education. On the other
hand, the fact of low salaries should not be permit-
ted to create hard feeling within the faculty. It
there is not, .as is charged, enough frankness be-
tween departmental heads and the men under them,
the former should realize that such a barrier is a
block to the highest efficiency also. Only insofar
as the system of gradual promotion and seniority
really :forks for better pedagogy should it be de-
fended; and few executives will deny that better
results can be obtained by workingawith their force
than by any sort of intimidation.
It seems to the layman that the suggestion of en-
franchising instructors should work for better co-
operation and a better efficiency in the end; for, as"
was brought out, the instructors will thereby be pre-
paring themselves for their own leadership of the
next decade. Not only that, but it seems only just
to let them have a. part in creating the conditions
under which they will later work. No doubt this
is a critical moment; but with a little compromise,
there appears to be no necessity for such a woman-
taught campus as was foreseen at Friday's meeting.
We think that Michigan's indifferent athletic rec-
ord this year is far from an acquired habit which it
will be difficult to get rid of."

A"In an attempt to keep in closer
tonch with the:alumni, do you think It
would be a good idea to send printed
copies Hof the best lectures of the year
to them
William M. German, '21M, Student
councilman-elect: "I would approve
of the idea of sending a few of the
outside lectures to the alumni, but
hardly believe it would be feasible to
send any regular class-room lectures.
Whether this would pay or not is rath-
er hard to debide."t
Henry N. Anderson, '21E, vice-presi-
dent-elect of the Engineering society:
"I have always been in favor of keep-
ing in touch with the alumni and let-
ting them know what's going on. This
seems to me to be a very good way
of doing so and I see no reason why
it shouldn't be adopted. The lectures
given by men who come here especi-
ally to give talks would probably be
more interesting than those which
they have undoubtedly already heard
in the - class rooms." e '.
Oswald .X. Micheimann, 122, vice-
president-eliect'of, the Students' Chris-
tian association: "I sincerely think
that circulars of such a nature would
greatly tend to freshen college spirit
in these alumni. Besides this, the al-
umni, realizing more than before the,
advantages of Michigan, would be
more than ever apt to try to send pro-
mising fellows to the University."
Samuel R. -Rosenthal, '21, member
of the Michiganensian staff: "I 'am
not in favor of such a plan because I
do not think it practical. It would in-,
volve a needless expenditure of time.
and money besides introducing a dif-
ficulty in trying to decide what lec-
tures to send. Reports' of most -all:
lectures given here can be read in
daily papers. We must remember,
too, that many of these lectures will
be cast aside; therefore, I think we
should get something more vital and.
alive if we want to bring our alumni
closer."

Such a rule may have been wise in past years
fen political party spellbinders spent much of
°ir oratorical ability in the effort to traduce the
rsonal characters of the - candidates of the op-
site party, but in the present days of higher po-
cal ideals (and we say it advisedly), when col-
-es and universities are attempting to train men
d women in political economy and political sci-'
:e, when it is intended that a man going out from
institution of learning shall have received -the
ining to fit him to become president of the
ited States or president of a college, it seems
bit strange that the political address should be
-red from the great college auditorium.f
When Ex-President Taft went to Ann Arbor a.
v weeks ago to talk to the student b'ody in Hill
litorium, he was not permitted to talk about the
ague of Nations, because, perforce, the League of
.tions had become a political subject, although it
recognized that he is the one man in the United
rtes best fitted to talk about the League, and can
nost 'be said to be the father of the League of
tions idea.
Moreover,abut a few months ago, before the
ague became a bone of contention between the
>onents of an opposite idea in the United States
ate, many men spoke upon the subject of the
ague, and the University was glad to have them
so, and over in another assembly hall of the
.ivei-sity a professor of the University was, de-
ering a series of lectures on political subjects,
en attacking the president and the League of'
tions in unmeasured terms, and a professor, too,
ose department had not the remotest relation to
itics.
t may have been the unexpected and foolish
ration of that rule which has awakened senti-
nt upon the campus for its abrogation.
the University of Michigan brings to the city of
n Arbor the biggest men in the nation, in the
Im of science, business, industry, war and poli-
; but by the operation of a rule which ought to
obsolete, politics is the one subject which must be
