Students of the literary college who
intend entering the law school next
semester are requested by Dean HAn-
ry M. Bates of the Law school to hand
in their names at the secretary's of-
fice in the law building immediately.
A large number of new students,

'Only 25 new cases of influenza were
reported in the last 24 hours, thus
showing quite a decrease from the 62
cases reported on Wednesday," said
Dr. J. A. Wessinger of the city
health department yesterday after-
noon. "I expect that the epidemic,
will be over in a week."
Two new cases of pneumo'nia de-

and one pneumonia patient died in the
hospital. The rest of the cases were
mild.
The University health service re-
ported 35 new eases the same as the

new cases Wednesday in Ann Arbor.
Compared with the 60 cases reported
yesterday afternoon this shows a de-
cided improvement.

ALLIANCE BETWEEN ENGLAND
AND AMERICA RECOMMENDED
(By Samuel Lamport)
I "The moral idea of Abraham Lin-
coln is the sole thing that can oppose
the materialism which is threatening
to bring the world to saster," said
John Drinkwater, the English poet,
last evening in Hill auditorium.
. Defines Moal Idea
This was defined by him as "indi-
vidual liberty growing in the soil of
national unity." He stated that the
political and social well-being of the
world could best be secured by a
spiritual and intellectual alliance be-
tween America and England. He de-
clared that a military or political al-
liance would not afford' it.
"The fundamental significance of
Iincoln's character lies in his public
service," the speaker stated. "Any
president of the United States is con-
fronted by a mass of paper facts which
is apt to make him forget the living
facts behind them. No one since 011-
ver Cromwell has been comparable to
him in his possession of human sym-
pathy besides Abraham Lincoln. This
fact, and not his salvation of the
American union or emancipation of a,
subject race is the chief significance
he bears to all the people of the
world.s
Reads Parts of Play
The reason why poets, artists, sculp-
tors, and novelists are finding in Lin-
coln material for their purpose was
explained by the lecturer to be due to
his character corresponding to the ex-
perience of artists. Mr. Drinkwater,
who is the .possessor of an extraor-
dinarily clear and melodious voice,
entertained his audience by reading
several poems and parts of his play,
"Abraham Lincoln," at the beginning
and conclusion of his address.
ASTRONOMERS BELIEVE1
VE NUS SIGNALING EATH
SCIENTISTS DISCOUNT MESSAGES
SAID TO COME FROM
MARS
(By Associated Press)
Washington, Jan. 29. - If wireless
messages are being received on' the
earth from some other planet as sug-
gested by William Marconi it is not
Mars sending the signals but most
probably Venus, says Dr. C. B. Abbot,
director of the Smithsonian Astrophy-
sical observatory and assistant secre-
tary of the Smithsonian institution.
Dr. Abbot makes no claim that the
mysterious wireless signals do come
from another planet but says if they
do Mars is eliminated as a possibil-
ity because known conditions on that
planet probably would not permit the
existence of any form of living crea-
ture.
"In the first place," says Dr. Ab.
bot, "on account -of the greater dis-
tance nearly two and one-half times
less radiation from the sun reaches
Mars than reaches the earth. It is
probably 100 per cent colder on the
averageton that distant planet than on
'the earth. Knowing how low temper-
atures occur on this earth in the win-
ter season it will be readily realized
that what 100 degrees colder would
mean. In the second place even if any1
form of life could withstand that de-
gree of cold it is known by the inves-
tigations of Director Campbell of
Look Lick observatory that there is
practically no water vapor in the at-
mosphere surrounding Mars, which
fact crosses out the possibility of that1
planet supporting any vegetation or
any form of food for living creatures.
"The planet Venus, on the other
hand, shows every condition necessary
for maintaining life. From this it
may be concluded that if any planet
is trying to signal our earth it is
Venus and not Mars."
SIGNING OF ESTHONIAN
PACT SCHEDULED YESTERDAY
Copenhagen, Jan. 29. - A peace

day according to a. Reval dispatch;
Editor's Note.-The following is' the
third of a series of articles,'concern-
ing the relation between the literary
-college and the professional schools
of the University, which have been
written by prominent members of the
faculty for The Daily. This topic will
come up for discussion at the meet-
ing of the University forum to be held
next week,
(By Prof. W. C. Hoad.)
President Vincent once made the re-
mark that modern engineering edu-
cation had substituted the newer ideal
of service to humanity for the older'
college ideal of personal culture. This
remark may be taken fairly to repre-
sent the general purpose underlying
the educational programs in the col-
lege of engineering here at Michigan.
In these programs of study the stu-
dent is led into, or at least'toward, an
appreciative understanding of men
and 'their institutions and needs, and
into a sound knowledge of scientific
principles and of constructive mate-
rials, and finally into the power of
effectively applying these . principles
and materials to the uses of mankind
Programs Vary
The several programs of study vary
somewhat in content, but ordinarily
include carefully planned courses in
English and at least one other mod-
jrn language, 'in history, literature or
philosophy, in chemistry, physics,
mathematics, geology, mechanics, as-
tronomy and political science, in the
constitution, manufacture, properties,
and uses of the more important eng-
ineering materials, and in the prin-
ciples of sound engineering design and
administration.
The average student's program cov-
ers 145 credit hours (140 credit hours
'being the minimum), and requires
nearly if not quite 10. semesters of
work for its completion. This is about
the same length as the "combination
courses in the literary college and
Law school.

0 Universal approbation of a cere--
e mony at which "M" sweaters and let-
n ters will be formally given out is the
result of 'an extensive investigation of
e the opinon of men prominent on the
_ faculty. This affair, it is hoped by
- those undertaking the planning of the
details, may become an annual event
and in time be classed among the
honored traditions of the University.
No Ceremony Now
At present the athletic awards are
given ,out without any public recog-
nition on the part of tl(e students, al-
though steps toward establishing
such a formal custom has been hint-
ed at in the annouliting of the recip-
ients of the "M's" at the last football
dinner held in the fall. This, how-
ever, covers only those who get the
insignia for work in football, while
the new plan will include a more gen-
eral presentation of athletic honors.
Prof. John R. Effinger, dean of the
College of Literature, Science, and
the Arts, expressed his approval of the
general idea in the following words,
"I remember the public presentations
which took place at the time of the
annual Michigan Union dinner in
Waterman gymnasium. It seems to
me that some such ceremony might
well be revived."
Dean Cooley Favors Plan'
Dean Mortimer E. Cooley of th4 en-'
gineering college also favored the es-
tablishing of such an exercise. He
said, "The occasion for giving the
"M" should be dignified and public.
The presentation exercises in the past
were considerable affairs and I sup-
posed that they would be continued.
In my opinion, the 'M's' might better
be kept in the cellar than to have no
ceremony for such an auspicious oc-
casion for both athlete and student."
Prof. Ralph W. Aigler, chairman of
the Board in Control of Athletics, was
in sympathy with such a plan and
stated, "If it is possible to work out
a plan so that all branches of athletics
can participate in such an affair it
would be a dignified and inspiring
ceremony."
