one in which science goes the limit in crowding
out the human side of life.
But it is unnecessary to stop at the practical part
that geology plays in the world as through assisting
in the location of precious stdnes, minerals, and
oils; for, if Prof. W. H. Hobbs' experiences on his
South Sea Islands trip can be taken as evidence,
the pursuit of geology has its romantic features as
well.
Although he set out in the interests of his work
rather than in quest of excitement, this Michigan
professor's adventures in the Pacific read like the
stories of De Foe and Jack London. They give
reality to fiction. Perhaps the most striking of them
is the discovery of a bona fide Robinson Crusoe in
this twentieth century. To quote from an account
of the episode. "This was Captain Leander West of
the American bark 'Horatio' which was wrecked
on Kusai Island in 1901. Here he has lived as the
only white man, befriended by the native chief and
admitted to the chief's tribe."
This incident alone, on top of the usual sights
and experiences encountered in a strange land,
would give sufficient zest to a trip abroad but the
party was not cut off here.t In addition theadven-
turers were entertained by the Japanese govern-
ment and assisted with Japanese ships. Tljir lat-
est thrill came when they encountered a typhoon,
their light vessel being driven sixty miles before it
before shelter was found; and their chances for ex-
citement are not over yet.
Of course there is always the laboratory, with its
charms purely scientific, but Feology can surely be
interesting in a non-technical way as well.
A WISE EXEMPTION
Michigan, long irrational in her treatment of
those members of her teaching staff and the holders
of fellowships desiring to take college courses, has
finally fallen into line with the accepted policy, of
American universities in exempting instructors, and
fellows from paying tuition fees.. This year for the
first time the University follows the example of
Harvard, Yale, Columbia, and other great univer-
sities as the result of the progressive policy and
convincing arguments of Dean Lloyd.
The new plan means much. It means that the
instructors and the fellows will be considered an
integral part of the University. In a practical way
it means that the salaries of the teachers and the
stipends of the fellows will be increased to the ex-
tent of the tuition fees.
As Dean Lloyd said in his report, this is the only
way to do. To do otherwise is like imposing a fine
on members of the teaching staff for attempting to
improve themselves. That is absurd. It would be
more rational to increase their salaries when they
show a hunger for further knowledge. And to
charge fellows tuition is like offering them a gift
with one hand and pulling back part of it with the
other. Actually, the stipend of a fellow is a salary,
offered him to do his study and research work for
the adiancement of knowledge. To make him for-
feit part of his pay for doing what he is paid to do
is foolish.
The only thing left to do now is to wonder that
no one at Michigan thought of this in this way long
ago. It is another example of a Columbus and the
egg.
The latest registration figures prove that the
rumor that there is only one more student on the
campus this year as compared with last is pic-
turesque but not true.
"Sixteen Sophomores Dismissed from U. of M.
for Hazing," declares the Tribune. It's apparently
true, too, except that it refers to the University of
Minnesota.
Performance in class elections varied from almost
no ballots cast to ninety-five per cent voting. In
some classes there is a lot of room for improve-
ment.

Engineering News
Harry J. Watson, instructor in the
Engineering college, announces that
the new Fairbanks-Morse semi-diessel
engine which the mechanical engineer-
ing department recently acquired was
tried out Thursday afternoon and
proved entirely satisfactory. It is a two
cycle plant of 38 horse-power and
is one of the most modern pieces of
equipment that a mechanical engineer-
ing laboratory can posess, according
to Mr. Watson.
The machine will not be subjected
to further tests until after the equip-
ment to load it with an electric gen-
erator is installed. Men in charge of
he work state that it should be ready
for additional tests within a few weeks,
This machine will run on either
kerosene or crude oil and in practical
work is used to pump water or oil,
drive factory and foundry machinery,
and turn a generator.
