Grad Addresses Phi Sigma Soeiety1 Members of the Phi Sigma society I met last night in the Natural Science building. "The Hypothesis of Form-1 ative Stuff" was explained by Ernest Reed of the Graduate School.j 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 treaty between Esthonia and Soviet Russia was to have been signed to- 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.

STUDENTS TAUGHT TO UNDER . STAND MEN AND THEIR NEEDS AN A FUNDAMENTAL CLASS Of 1920 TO HEAR BURTON AT COMMENCEMEN', ANNOUNCED YESTERDAY INVITATION WAS AC. CEPTED TO MEET WITH BOARD ' OFREGENTS FEB. 24 To Talk Before University of Mieh, igan Club in Detroit, Feb. 19 President-elect M. L. Burton of the University, has accepted 'an invitation to speak this spring at the commence- ment exercises of the class of 1920. Announcement of this fact was made yesterday by President 'Harry B Hutchins. President-elect M. L. 'Bur- ton, upon his appearance at the com- mencement exercises, will for the firsi time, be presented to the students'of the University. To Meet Regents Coincident with this announcemeni came the word yesterday, that Presi- dent-elect Burton will take part it the official business of the University for the first time on Feb. 20, when he will meet with the Board of Regents The business of the meeting has not been announced. It is thought, how- ever, that it will relate to the new administration. President-elect Burton is scheduled to speak before the University o Michigan club of D'roit, Feb. 19, al a banquet to' be held at the Detroil Athletic club. Following the ban- quet, Mr. Burton will come to Ann Ar- .bor for his meeting with the Regent. . Seniors Pleased The announcement that he will be one of the spekers at the commence- *ment to be held June 24, is greeted by the officers of the graduating class as a signal honor. "We are very glad to hear that the President-elect of the University is te be our commencement speaker," Wil- liam Hinshaw, president of the sen- ior lit class declared last night. "Al- though we will not be in school under him, we will have had the honor of hearing him deliver our commence- ment address." Waldo McKee, president of the sen- ior engineering class, voiced similar opinions. "I am indeed glad to hear that President Burton is to be our com- mencement speaker," McKee said. A S K RELEASE OF 4 RED CROSS WORKERS TH Public Presentation Of Athletic n ia Approved 'By Faculty Ien ne students in th planning to joi' e invited tobe i according to th D IN HOP LISTS! lists giving number of ames and addresses of ests for publication in in extra should be sent 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." (By Associated Press) Washington, Jan. 29.-Request for the release of the four American Red Cross workers recently captured by the Bolshevik in Siberia already has been forwarded to the Russian Soviet authorities ,through the Czechs Red Cross headquarters were informed to- day by representatives from Vladivo- stock in a cablegram which also stat- ed the prisoners are not believed to be in any danger. The cable advices explained that the expression of optimism concerning the safety of the Red Cross person- nel was founded on reports from the newly conquered parts of Siberia. Dream City to Hold First Election Port Huron, Jan. 29. - Marysville, the "dream city" as it has become known, will hold its first election Thursday, Jan. 29.
