The pond, surveyed some time ago with the same end in view, is said by many to be one of the finest water courses in this part of the country ; still it has never yet felt the weight even of a scull. Appar- ently, the money expenditures neceessary to obtain trainers and equipment have in the past held up progress. Some two years ago steps taken by a cer- tain group of enthusiastic students toward placing an impromptu crew on the pond, though ending in failure, marked the nearest successful real attempt to approach the project in a materially practicable manner. Now, however, outward signs would seem to in- dicate that the time has come for the taking of some action by the authorities on this matter of row- ing at Michigan. At present we have more than the course itself at our disposal. Two men from the Detroit Boat club, one a student, have volunteered their services as coach and assistant coach; and the petition recently turned in goes to show that not only would it be possible to establish a crew here without the outlay of prohibitive sums of money, but that competition could well be arranged with any number of other crews, notably those from Wisconsin, Toronto, Syracuse, and seven boat clubs relatively near at hand. With such possibilities offered her for the set- ting up of rowing as a Michigan sport, it would be a misfortune if the Univeersity should fail to make the most of her opportunities. Rowing has come to be one of few forms of competition to be recog- nized by organizations and institutions of learning the world over. With track events, it forms the basis of international athletics, and is coming to be one of the most favored of all sports by schools which haye at hand the required facilities. With one of the best possible courses available, and with some twenty-five trained oarsmen en- rolled here, Michigan has the finest prospects for a successful entry in this field of competition. Now is the time to-make the best of them. FOR STATE AND CIVILIZATION The impasse in the Irish situation, in recent dec- ades, has been between southern Ireland and Ulster, on both religious and economic grounds. Other is- sues there have been, and Great Britain has had her share in creating them; yet Britain has more and more evidenced a desire to remove causes of fric- tion. wlhpre a vriv affetntfurl n.1A t~m,..+ ^rT..- land's political status has been upset by the refusal of either North or South to accept it. Today, as never before, world conditions demand liberal views, and it has become obvious that the hos- tility between Ireland and Ulster must be modified, or circumvented, in the interest of geneeral prog- ress. The recent treaty between Britain and Ire- land signalizes a manly willingness to look ahead, rather than back, in order to gain certain definite desirable ends. Britain has decided to trust Ireland with self-government, equally with Canada and other states in the British empire. Ireland, while desiring absolute national independence, has agreed to accept Britain's proposals, as a progressive step. Together they have made provision whereby Ulster may by her own choice either become a part of the new Irish Free State or become likewise a separate government with judicially established boundaries. The treaty as made remains to be ratified by the two governments, and it is confidently hoped that ratification will occur within a few days. In that event, it is also confidently expected that Ulster and Ireland together will evince the same forward-look- ing, patriotic spirit which made the new treaty pos- sible, and that either in union or as neighbor states these doughty peoples will henceforth co-operate. ATHLETICS FOR ALL The intramural department is hitting the bull's- eye pretty regularly these days, with the institution of cross counry runs, basketball leagues which in- clude almost the entire campus, and the invention of "speed ball". On the heels of these three inno- vations comes the announcement that free skating will be provided for every University student dur- ing the winter, accompanied by the expressed hope that free swimming can be provided. This activity of the intramural department is a healthy sign. The present system of vicarious ath- letics where a chosen few who are already physi- cally fit represent a student body of eight thousand while the eight thousand sit passively by, content to watch amusement of someone else, is certainly not. akin to the ideal of the greatest good for the great- est number. "Athletics for all" is a worthy slogan which the department seems to have adopted for its own. The method of instituting competitive athletics and arousing student interest is far superior in get- ting students to exercise than the compulsory gym- nastic system some colleges have devised. Both are beneficial, but the interest of the student in volun- tary athletics far outbalances the mechanical mo- tions of formal calisthenics, and is certain to do as much to keep him physically fit. The Netherlands is interesting for three things: its literary reaction to the modern tendency in let- ters, its remarkable and original colonial system, and the art heritage it possesses from the seven- teenth and eighteenth centuries. All three of these will be treated in University lectures in Natural Science auditorium today, tomorrow, and Thurs- day, by Dr. A. J. Barnouw, Queen Wilhelmina lec- turer at Columbia university. Here is an oppor- tunity to learn from authoritative lips the actual facts pertaing to the art, literaure, and colonial pol- icy of his tiny, but vigorous cuntry. Assure the S. C.

The mammoth new stadium at Stanford that cost merely a couple of hundred thousand will be worth watching.
