W. B. Rea, '22
Committee chairmen of the senior
literary class went on record yester-
day in favor of holding the Con-
mencement exercises on Ferry field
this year, or if this plan is found im-
practicable, for the exercises in Hill
auditorium to be open only to the rel-
atives of. seniors. The latter ar-
rangement would exclude faculty
members and alumni.
Offers Best Solution
It was the opinon of the commit-
teemen "that, whileAholding the exer-
cises on Ferry field might possibly de-
tract somewhat from the impressive-
ness o the occasion, it would be bet-
ter to have the ceremony where all
relatives of seniors could attend. If
the exercises are to be held in Hill
auditorium again, the, committeemen
believe' no tickets should be reserved
for others until all the relatives of
seniors have been provided for.
Announcement of dates for the sen-
for literary festiviies of Commence-
met week was made by Walter B.
Rea, president of the class.
The senior literary banquet will be
held at 12:15 o'clock, Thursday, June
15, in the Uni5n and the senior re-
ception and' ball, which is to be for-
mal, will be held at 9 o'clock the same
evening in the Union.
Alumni registration will start at 8
o'clocl- Friday, June 16, in Alumni
[emorial hall. The senior literary
class rday exercises will be held on
the campus at 10 o'clock that morn-
ing. At 2:30 o'clock that afternoon
th Varsity baseball team will play
the alumni baseball team on Ferry
field, and at 8:30 o'clock in the eve-
ning a student entertainment will be
given in Hill auditorium.
Alumni to Meet
The annual aluni meeting will be
held at 10 o'clock Saturday morning,
June 17, in Hill; auditorium, after
which will be the 'alumni luncheon
at 12:15 o'clock in Barbour gymna-
sium.,, At 1:30 o'clock there will be

torium, and a baseball game at 4

CAMPUS SENTIMENT FAVORS
LEAGUE FUND PERFORMANCE
Public 'performance of the Junior
Girls' play, "Scepter and Serenade,"
was refused by the Senate Committee
on Student Affairs, according to. re-
ports received yesterday. The com-
mittee was petitioned by almost the
entire cast, after the final perform-
ance, for permission to give a public
performance of the play for the bene-
fit of the University of Michigan Lea-
gue campaign 'fund. Rumors are cur-
rent to the effect that the unfavorable,
action of the committee is largely
traceable to one member, whois said
to have forced thee decision through
intimidation.
Sentiment on the campus for sone
weeks back has been strong for a
presentation of the play which men
mght attend. Opinions expressed.
seemed agreed ,that the first night
should be resrved for junior and sen-
ior girls, which would be sufficient to
maintain the tradition, but that there-
after the play should be thrown open
to men and women alike.
The Junior Girls' play originated as
a "stunt night," an amateurish af-
fair, given by the junior girls for the
seniors, and with attendance restrict-
ed to these few. Since then it has
grown to such proportions that three
performances are given of a very elab-
orate production, planned, according
to Prof. John L. Brumm, director of
the play; for public presentation.
After the three performances in Ann.
Arbor, to which only women are ad-
mitted, a general performance 4ras
been given in Detroit, thus nullifying
the old-time exclusiveness of the af-
fair. The consensus of opinion of
those interviewed seems Lo be that the
time' has come to give at least one
general performance in Ann Arbor..
Not a few prominent men and wom-
en on the campus, among them high'
University officials, have expressed
their hearty approbation of the idea
when interviewed on the subject, and
considerable disappointment has been
evinced by them since the action of
the Senate committee.
L r Creation ",Sung
:ay Large Chorus,
A pears Tonight
(By Delbert Clark)
From the majestic progression of
Laudes Atque Carmina" to the rous-
ing strains of "The Victors," the
spring concert of the Varsity Glee and
Mandolin clubs last night in Hill aud-
itorium was a complete success. Not a
single weak number marred the pro-
gram, and it was thickly sprinkled
with,gloriously good ones. The care-
ful, intelligent training ,of the direct-
or, Frank L. Thomas, was much in
evidence throughout, especially in the
ensemble numbers.
Notable among the Glee club offer-
ings were The Soldiers' Chorus from
Gounod's "Faust," Beethoven's "The
Heavens Are Declaring," and "The
Song of. the Vikings," by Fanning.
"Ole Uncle Moon" and "The Old
Songs" were given as encores to an
insistent audience
It is almost unfair to say that any
one of the numbers was better than
another. The Mandolin club with its
two offerings did exceedingly well,
without any evidences of nervousness
or lack of preparation. Robert R.
Dieterle, '23M, succeeded as always in
making a strong appeal to his audi-
ence. Thee. ever popular Hawaiians,

Tang and Tavares, took the crowd by
storm, as did the banjo quintet, the
Varsity quartet, and the Midnight
Sons' quartet. Potter, witlh his Ha-
waiian guitar voice, was much in evi-
dence in the latter, "
It is pleasingly evident that the
Glee club has made a sensational
comeback, and has retaken its place
high among Varsity attractions by
sheer force of merit, based on careful
leadership and training.

Haydn's oratorio, "Creation," will
be given by a. high school chorus of
400 voices and a' splendid group of
soloists, under the direction of George
Oscar Bowen, as a compliment;:ry
concert to the Michigan Schoolmast-
ers' club at 8 o'clock tonight in Hill
auditorium.
The concert will be unique in that
the "Creation" is a work not often
attempted by a high school chorus.
Mr. Bowen and his pupils have been
working on the oratorio for some
months, and promise a rendering of
the work whidh will be of the highest
calibre.
The soloists secured for the occa-
sioz. are Muriel Margarel-Kyle, so-
prailo, William Wheeler,' tenor, and
Carl Lindegren, bass. Miss Kyle,
foremrly prominent in Philadelphia
musical circles, and recently located
in Detroit, has made a special study
of the requirements of the soprano'
role in the oratorio, a role for which
her voice is well adapted.
The oratorio will be accompanied
by 'Ava Comin, pianist of the School
of Music, Margaret Mason, pianist,
and Earl V. Moore, organist. The
former pianist will play the solo ac-
companiments, while the latter will
accompany the chorus selections.

Pillsbury, of the, psychology depart-
ment, were directors. .
He is also associated with several
other magazines, prominent among
which are "The Scientific Monthly,"
"The American Naturalist," and
"School and Society." Dr. Cattell has
the distinction. of having received the
first professorship in Psychology
ever bestowed by the University of
Pennsylvania..f
VISITORS WELCOME
AT DAILY TONIGHT
Visitors' day has been declared at
The Daily, and those wishing to see
how the paper is written and printed
will be escorted through the office
from 7:30 until 9:30 o'clock this eve-
ning.
At this time members of the staff
will explain to the visitors how the
news of 'the campus is secured and
how the paper is made up ready for
the press. During the visiting hours
the night staff will be at work on
Friday morning's paper.
Members of the Schoolmasters' club
and other organizations in convention
here at present are especially urged
to avail themselves of the opportunity
to see how the student publication is
Election day was changed from
May 3 to May 2 at the neting of the
Student council held last night at the
Union. This action was taken to al-
low the president and vice-president
elect of the University of Michigan
Women's league to attend the confer-
ence of presidents of Women's clubs
at Ithaca May 4. The change in date
will enable the winning candidates to
leave here on time.
Recommendation that L. T. Orr,
'25, be dismissed from the University
was acted on favorably by the coun-
cil last,night. Orr has been tried by
the Underclass conduct committee and
by the council for refusal to abide by
the Michigan traditions and, upon
careful investigation of Orr's record,
he was found-to be an undesirable stu-
dent. The recommendation will be
taken to the University officials by a
committee appointed for that ,purt
pose.-
Proposal for the campaign to re-
store the library of the University of
Louvain was considered unadvisable
at this time although the council did
not definitely oppose the idea. The
members emphasized the fact that all
proposed drives for money to be con-
ducted on the campus should be ap-
proved by the council before being
carried out. This same action also
included other campus activities and
the council disclaimed any connetion.
with the send-off of the track team
last Friday.
In accordance with Section 3 of Ar-
ticle 9 of the Constitution of the Stu-
dent council, the places held by Wil-
liam Brown, '22D, and Herbert Van
Ewegen, '22P, were declared vacant.

new representatives will be elected by
the respective classes to fill the va-

Colum Describes,.
Development Of
Irish Literature
Illustrating each succeeding phaseI
in the development of the new na-l
tionalistic literature of Ireland with
readings from various well known
poets, representative of each stage,
Padraic Colum opened the series of
talks which are to be given here by
modern poets yesterday afternoon in
Hill auditorium.
The famines of '46 and '47, the en-
suing lassitude and despondency and
the loss of the ancient bards, 'the cus-
todians of the old traditions were all
explained in their relation to the d -
velopment of the literature and lan-
guage.
Another great influence was the
rise of the theater and the co-opera-
tion between the players=and, the lit-
erary men of the time. Padraic Coluni
himself was one of the first contrib-
utors to this movement. y present-
ing on the stage dramatic lyrics deal-
ing with the simple peasant people
they helped to form a national Irish
language..
He 'pointed out the deadening ef-
fects which oratory and journalism
have on the development of good lit'
erature in any country. Because of
the fact that they reduce everything to
a "common deno.nination of expres
sion" Padraic Colum stated that ora
tory and journalism are "death on
style."
The last half of the hour was spen

of which are still in manuscrip
