in many places the first opportunity for systematic
planning, and our own University bids fair to be-
come a leader, a model, in this respect. Hence the
timeliness of the question whether in the public
judgmert Michigan's architecture should embody,
so far as it may be possible, the traditional elements
of classical beauty and lofty reverence, or should
step forth boldly in exemplification of the modern-
ist view, that economy and efficiency really attest
the greater intelligence and wisdom - that simplic-
ity and utility actually express the purer beauty
and the truer devotion.
The University of Michigan plan has been under
consideration for several years. The University
Regents and administrative officials are highly com-
petent to weigh this sentimental and practical ques-
tion. They have had the advice of city planning en-
gineers and consulting architects of established
reputation. Thus there is every reason to feel con-
fidence that the decisions resulting from their com-
bined labors will be wise and commendable. Yet a
persistent feeling of concern exists, based in large
part upon comparisons of recently erected struct-
ures on the campus, lest the greater Michigan that
is in the making may prove disappointing in its ex-
ternal architectural aspects.
Searching for a subjective cause for this per-
sistent feeling, it seems to be not so much one of
distrust toward the responsible experts who have
the affair in hand, as it is a deep-seated affection
for Alma Mater, which takes the form of anxious-
ness only in the absence of fuller knowledge of the
tremendous' plans that are under' way. Students
and alumni already have been generously informed-
regarding the several structural units, their loca-
tion and .estimated costs; but they are without
knowledge of the external architectural features in'
which they feel such deep sentimental interest.
The Daily would like to see architects' sketches
and basic plans of the first buildings units pub-
lished, at the earliest date possible, for the general
information of students, alumni, and interested cit-
izens. Probably the designs would meet with en-
thusiastic 'approval; they certainly would satisfy a
desire for information that is deeper than mere
curiosity.
But, more than that, apparently a very useful pur-
pose would be served if such publicity should'furn-
ish the basis for registering definite, positive senti-
ment regarding the two contending theories of arch-
itectural design, or the most appropriate point of
compromise between them, comparative construc-
tion costs being kept in view.
Adminisgration officials and architects alike
should welcome such popular expression, together
with such useful suggestions as might possibly be
elicited, as an aid to their own judgment in design-
ing the remainder of the proposed buildings.

they play the same teams it may happen that the

THE CLOISTER OR THE MART?
Colleges and universities, formerly attended by
the wealthy or talented few, in modern times have
become laboratories and training shops for many
practical professions, and are attended by numer-
ous average students. These changing conditions
have naturally raised the question whether such in-
stitutions should be kept secluded and architectur-
ally- distinctive, as of old, or should aim to simulate
thoroughly the conditions of business life into
which students must plunge upon graduation.
Modern opinion unquestionably favors the lat-
ter, the obvious course, with respect to curricula and
laboratory conditions; but as to architectural ex-
ternals, much sentiment persists for preserving, as
fully as possible, the elements of seclusiveness and
refined beauty which are traditional of the past.
The subject is of acute interest to all Michigan men
and women at the present juncture, in view of
Michigan's immense building program, now getting,
under way.
In America education has grown apace with the
country. College buildings have been erected to
meet urgent needs, often without the financial
means to secure the' most desirable results archi-'
tecturally, even if other circumstances might have
permitted the adoption of a definite and continuous'
architectural policy. As a result universities have
grown up in a hit-or-miss fashion, and it is rare to
find, in the newer West at least, an institution whose
architectural features are not 0E this motled, inco-

Remember back in the Victorian age when women
used to faint at the slightest provocation, when they
would keel over whenever picture show rates were
increased, and wither dead away at the sight of an
unbuckled galosh?
Well, times have changed since then, and girls
have hardened themselves. Ttake our Michigan
women, for instance. .They can actually look upon
a genuine "status quo" without shrinking, and even
went so far as to p'etition to be allowed to attend
the boxing bouts at the Mimes -theater. Imagine
such unadulterated brutality.
Surely a halt should be called to these practices
before it is too late, or soon the campus males will
be invited to witness a boxing match between Bat-
tling Virginia and Ruthless Ruth for the cham-
pionship of the Women's League, the award to be
one set of geranium enameled perfume containers.

Why It Fizzled?
It is rumored that the Parade of the "Girls Who
Have.Never Been Kissed," which is an annual fes-
tivity in Parisian life, was called off this year be-
cause one of the girls was sick and the other one
refused to march alone.

that often show themselves- under the
continued strain of his highly special-

There is one sure relief from over-

Many men from every walk of life
find relaxation, recreation, and' new
enthusiasm for life in frequent asso-
ciation with the great outdoors.
There is a bigness and grandeur iri

confidence and courage to carry on

it all to soothe a weary brain and re-

Warmer days are before us when

shall rejoice in the spring. Months
of winter work and too close confine-
ment are behind us. Bodies are lazy I

are apt to be "crabbed." We owe it
