Program Balanced
Under the supervision and direc-
tion of Miss Maude Kleyn, of the
School of Music faculty, the Univer-
sity Schoo of Music Girls' .Glee club
gave a well balanced program which
was received by a most appreciative
audience. Miss Ethelyn Metz, of Hol-
land, who is a graduate of the Com-
stock School of Oratory in Evanston,
Ill., assisted by giving numerous se-
lections; Margaret, Foote, '2i, Neva
Nelson, '21, and Sophia Wolozynski,
'22, accompanied on the violin, and
Miss Wilma Seedorff, at the piano.
In "Cossack Lullaby," and "The
Snow," sung by the Glee club, the
shading and attack were very unus-
ual. "Springtime," the last number
on the program, was the most beau-
tiful of all. One encore was wonder-
fully clever, both in interpretationand
theme; it was entitled "The Cate-
chist" and was played on words into
"The Cat He Kissed."
Enunelation Perfect
Miss Kleyn's splendid work as di-
rector was proven throughout the pro-
gram in the perfect enunciation of the
singers, and careful interpretation of
minute meanings. The concert was
different, too, because 'of fitting co#-
tuming'for many of the songs. For
instance, in "Tao Loved His Li," sung,
by the Midnight Daughters' iquartet,
richly embroidered Japanese regalias
were worn; in "Just Like a Gypsy," by
Flora Kelley, Helen Marshall, and
Catherine Coburn, very picturesque
gypsy dress was seen; and in "Spin-
ning 'Song," by the Glee club, a real,
entique.spinning wheel was used on
the stage.
Reader Encored
The many encores accorded Miss
Metz readings showed the/ great ap-
preciation of the audience. They
seemed to especially enjoy "An Inter-
national Courtship" and two French-
Canadian selections-"Mon Pierre"
and "The Circus at Old St. Anne's."
Great variety, splendid voices, and
unusual finish in every detail made
,the concert an unprecedented puc-
cess.
Lowden Backers
T0 Meet Tonight
All students interested in the for-
mation of 'a Lowden-for-President
club are requested to be present -at~
a meeting to be held in the reading
room of the Union at 7:15 o'clock to-
night;
It. is expected that there will be
strong organization grow out of the
meeting, as considerable support for
"Illinois' Favorite Son" is in evidence
on the campus.

That the average medical studentx
in this country is too old' when he1
graduates, is a fact endorsed by Dr.c
Hugh M. Beebe, of the Homoeopathict
hospital here.t
"The present age of the medical1
graduate," says Dr. Beebe, "is large-
ly due to the fact that in bis pre-
medical work he unnecessarily dupli-
cates courses he has already had in
the high school."c
English Graduate 26 -
Contrasting conditions in Europeanc
universities and those ;in the United
States, Dr. -Beebe states that where-

Locate Nel/ Stars
By Photogaphy
The fact that several new stars
have been located in the past few
months by the comparison of photo-
graphic plates at the Harvard uni-
versity is not indicative of anything
out of the ordinary, says Prof. Wil-
liam J. Hussey, director of the Ob-
servatory. They are without doubt
examples of the temporary stars that
frequently fash into prominence an
then slowly fade away.
Professor Hussey states that the
photographs- are taken by a camera
that automatically focuses itself on
different parts of the heavens after
an exposure is made. While Harvard
observatory is the only one that has
the equipment to photograph the en-
tire heavens, Michigan has obtained
many photographs of unusual merit
of individual spectrum.
Partial eclipse of the sun will 'oc-
cur on May 17, and again on Nov.
10, the first being invisible and 'the
latter. visible in the afternoon in
these parts. A total eclipse of the
moon will occur on the evening of
M 2 and also on the evening of
Oc 26,' both being invisible here.
Though a hard cold winter has just
been' experienced for the past few
months the lowest that the thermom-
f eter registered was eight degrees be-
low zero.
J- LITS NOMINATE
MEN FOR COUNCIL

Theodore C. Sedgwick, '21, Edward
S. Kingsford, '21, and Donald J. Pert-
er, '21, were chosen as candidates for
the Student council at a Ieeting of
the junior lit class called yesterday
afternoon in University Hall. These
men will be voted on from 10 o'clock
until 5 o'clock next, Thursday after-
noon in the corridor of University
hall.
Celan H. Rorick, '21, was elected
baseball manager for the class.
After the treasure's report had
been read, the class voted to set the
annuhl class dues 'at $1. Dues will
be payable from 10 o'clock until 5
o'clock next Thursday and Friday in
the corridor of 'University hall.
The social committee reported that
arrangements had been made for a

o'clock on Saturday, March 13,( at the

PROF. CROSS GIVES ILLUSTRATED
LECTURE IN DET1(OIT TODAY
Prof. Herbert R. Cross, of the fine
arts department, will continue the se-

ries of weekly extension lectures in
Detroit Friday afternoon when he- will
give an illustrated lecture before the
Woman's Guild of St. Paul's cathe-
dral on "St. Paul in Art."
The object of the talk is to pre-
sent' a review of some of the more
important places in history of art that
show the character and events from
the life,, of the great apostle.

many is 26, the medical student here
is 28 or 29 years of age at the time
of his graduation: The reason for
this is that the preparatory work of
the European student is shorter than
his American neighbor's, although it
is as fully complete.-
Michigan Student 28
"The average age of the medical
graduate in Michigan is between 28
or 29," leclares Dr. Beebe. Asked
what he would do to remedy this con-
dition, he said that he would advocate
shortening of the high school eourse.
Dr. Christopher G: Parnall, medical
superintendent of University hospital,
states as his opinion that the length
of time-now necessary for a man to
pursue the profession of medicine is
a detriment which prevents him from
entering the profession.
Excludes Desirables-
"This has the effect of keeping out
many men who would b very desir-,
able practitioners," says Dr. Parnell.
"If this continues, only the well-to-
do may look forward to entering the
medical profession.'
"On the other hand, a man lought
to be thoroughly trained. Medicine is
being increasingly recognized as a-
state function, and it is only logical
to assume that the state should con-
tribute a share in he preparation of
the student for h#i life work."
Dr. Parnall also declares that al-
though medial students in his time
were younger than those of today
they were inadequately prepared

The number of members to sit per-
manently on the bi-partisan confer-
once also will be determined at in-

Continuation of Negotiations

turned to private control.
DRAKE SPEAKS TO CLASSICAL
CLUB; PLAN ANNUAL PARTY
Prof. J. H. Drake of the Law school,
addressed the Classical club in Alum-
ni Memorial hall last night, discussing
the important part of a classical ed-
ucation in professional fields.
