University community, as the serious-
nessof his condition was known only
to a few.
orn in 180
Last June Professor Beman complet-
ed 50 years of continuous service to
the Universiby, a record of service that
has never been equaled by any other
professor in the history of the insti-
tution.
Professor Beman was born May 28,
1850, in Southington, Conn. He at-
tended school in Valparaiso, Ind., and
entered the University in 1866. In
1870, when barely 20 years old, he
graduated with the degree of Bache-
lor of Arts. After serving for a year
in Kalamazoo college as instructor in
Greek and mathematics, he returned
to the University, receiving the degree
of Master of Arts in 1873. He held
the position of instructor in mathe-
* uatics from 1871 to 1874, when he be-
came assistant professor. In 1882 he
became associate professor, and in
1887 was given full professorial
rank. In 1908 he received the honor-
ary LL.D. degree from Kalamazoo col-
lege-
Married in 1877
On Sept. 4, 1877, he was married to
Ellen Elizabeth Burton, a daughter of
Dr. N. S. Burton, who was for many
years pastor of the First Baptist
church here. For nearly 30 years
their home has been at 813 E. Kings-
ley street., Besides the widow, a son,
Robert, and a daughter, Mrs. Wini-
fred Lange, both of Cleveland, sur-
vivo.
Professor Beman gained a national
reputation as a writer on the history
and teaching of 6ementary mathemat-
ies. His text books, written jointly
with D. E. Smith, were widely and
favorably known as expounding ad-
vanced ideas on the teaching of math-
ematics. Among his works are "Na-
ture and Meaning of Numbers" (from
the 'German), and "Continuity and Ir-
rational Numbers." He was the joint
author, with D. E. Smith, of "Plane
and Solid Geometry," "Higher Arith-
metic," "New Plane and Solid Geome-
try,". "Elements of Algebra," "Acade-

ABBEY PLAYERS
"The White Headed Boy" will be
presented at 2:15 o'colck tomorrow
afternoon in the Whitney theater by
the Abbey theater group of Irish
players.
The company, which is playing all
of this week in Detroit at the New
Detroit, was persuaded to give this
performance in Ann Arbor by Mrs.
Bredley M. Davis, wife of Professor
Davis, of the botany department, who
is interested in Irish literature.
"This is a wonderful thing for Ann
Arbor, said Robert Frost, thepoet.
when interviewed. " The White
Headed Boy' can in no way be termed
'high-brow,' but, despite this fact, it
brings to Michigan's doors the best
that can be had in Irish literature and
dramatics."

DUCK THAT

SUNDAY

SCHOOL VIEWPOINTI


At a certain stage of his life the average Michigan student
was bundled up each Sunday and sent straggling unwillingly
to Sunday school in order that he might learn the precepts of his
religion as every child should know them. Since then he has
been inclined to look upon any religious organization in a sim-
ilar light, - a band of conscientious, but misled men who de-
sire to hand out dogma instead of baseball equipment, and
whose purpose is purely and solely to teach religion.
With only one day of campaigning left in its drive for
$4,000, the Student Christian association has managed to obtain
the meager sum of $1,009.50 from an unresponsive student body.
"Times are hard," is the answer. "If people want religion let
them go to church." Shades of Sunday school!
The giver of such excuses neglects the S. C. A. lecturers
who spread Michigan's fame in surrounding communities; he
ignores the accommodations offered to all religious denomina-
tions; he fails to consider the prominent national figures in
every field brought to Ann Arbor through the organization; he
forgets entirely the hundreds of students who owe their very
attendance at college to the jobs obtained for them by the S.
C. A. This is not a Sunday school. It is a live, functioning,
and necessary social organization of the student body which
must be supported by that body.
Times are hard, yes. But when one sees the crowded pic-
ture shows and prospering soda dispensaries in Ann Arbor,
and when one witnesses the well-filled week-end trains leav-
ing and returning to Ann Arbor, it is difficult to believe that
the average Michigan student will refuse one dollar to keep a
necessary campus organization upon a running basis. The
S. C. APmust obtain these funds to continue its work. Will you
help put the drive across?
"Pygmalion" Cast Brilliant .In
Acting And Character Portrayal

PLAYERS CLUB TO
GIVE PLAYS JAN. 25
Members of the Players club decid-
ed to postpone the production of the
two plays, "The Wonder Hat" and
"Neighbors," which were announced
in yesterday's Daily as being played
tonight in Sarah Caswell Angell hall.
This action was taken because of the
production of "Pygmalion" and the
noise which would be encountered in
the rest of Barbour gymnasium.
These plays will be produced on
next Wednesday night, Jan. 25, ac-
cording to the present plans.

POWERS PLEDGE NOT TO SEEK
CHINESE INFLUENCE SPHERES
(By Associated Press)
Washington, Jan. 18.-The Ameri-
can Open Door program was accepted
in part today by the Far Eastern com-
mittee of the Arms conference, bu'
approval was given only after elim
ination of the provision which it would
have specifically authorized concern-
ing inquiry into existing concession:
in China.
The French, renewing their objec-
tions to reopening the whole field o'
concessions granted in the past.
were seconded by the Japanese, and
the proposal was finally thrown out
entirely at the suggestion of the Brit-
ish. The Chinese reserved the right
to call it up again later.
As adopted, the open door contain-
ed a mutual pledge not to seek a
sphere of influence or monopolies in
China in the future and authorized
the creation of an international board
of reference with power to investi-
gate and report on any plan which
seemed to involve violation of the
principle of equal economic and com-
mercial opportunity.
UNIVERSITY CONVOCATION
ON WASHINGTON'S ,BIRTHDAY
Announcement was made yesterday
from the office of the President that
the services in Hill auditorium on
Washington's birthday, Feb. 22, will
be held at 10 o'clock, and will take
the form of a University convocation.
Prof. H. Finley, former president of
the College of the City of New York
and a prominent eastern educator,
will give the address.
Graduate Women Resume Weekly Teas
The regular weekly teas of the
Graduate Women's club were resumed
yesterday afternoon when the club en-
tertained its members and friends in
the parlors of Barbour gymnasium.

(By Marion Kerr and Delbert Clark)1
Brilliant, almost professional inter-7
pretation of character, with well-
poised life-like acting, combined to
make the presentation last night by'
the Comedy club of Bernad Shaw's
Pygmalion" one of the most pro-
nounced successes in the history of
Michigan dramatics.
House Nearly Full
Playing to a house practically filled,j
the members of the cast appeared ina
he first act in a night scene in
Covent Garden, London, which was
..specially effective both in scenic ad-
tptation and in the skill of the actors,
and throughout the play maintained
the difficult standard which they set'
for themselves in that first scene.'
Seldom if ever has a college produc-
tieu approached so near the excel-
lence which is usually attributed only
b veteran players.
The audience lived the play with
the, cast, laughing, sitting tense and
motionless, or even with eyes moist
from emotion as the story progressed, !
portraying heights and depths of hu-{
nan feeling with a fidelity that was
o say the least remarkable, always
sprinkled with laughter.
The role taken by Mildred Hen-
ry, '22, was exceptionally heavy and
required a decided versatility. Miss
Henry's interpretation of Eliza Doo-
little was astoundingly well done
both in the intelligence of her in-
terpretation and in conveying to the
role a charming personality.
" Comedy Parts Good
Comedy parts were taken by
Richard Forsyth, '22L, in the role
of Alfred Doolittle, and John Hass-
Danees At Union
To Be Separate
As confusion has arisen about the
dance program at the Union tomorrow
night,-Union officials yesterday made
clear that there will be two distinct
functions--the dinner dance betwen
the hours of 6 and 8 o'clock and the
regular Friday evening dance.
The dinner dance will be held in the
main dining room and there will be no
extra charge, other than the charge for
the dinner itself. Most of the tables
will accommodate two couples, while
a few will take care of three couples.
Dress will be informal. A special
four piece orchestra will play at this
dance, which is the first of its kind
ever given by the Union.
Tickets for the regular dance, which
will begin at 9 o'clock tomorrow night
in the assembly hall, are now on sale.

berger, '23, in the part of FreddyE
Eynesford-Hill. The latter part, thatE
of an effeminate tea-hound, was par-r
ticularly well done. Thetheavier com-
edy role taken by Forsyth brought in-f
to play a decided ability to play char-
acter parts.
Henry Higgins, the phonetics pro-
fessor who plays opposite to Mildredt
Henry, while without as much of the
inspiration as was given to the leading,
feminine role played his decidedly dif-
ficult part with increasing brilliance
during the acts.
His second, Colonel Pickering, taken
by Clement E. Smith, '24, was donef
with a grace of manner that revealed,
the skill of the director, Prof. J. Ral-
eigh Nelson.

Making its second appearance under
the new form, the Michigan Technic

Orchestra Will
Give Symp hony
Program Mronday
The Detroit Symphony orchestra
will appear in Ann Arbor for the
third time this season at 8 o'clock
next Monday night in Hill auditor-
'um. Ossip Gabrilowtsch will be the
soloist of the evening, with Victor
Kolar in charge of the orchestra dur-
Ing the concerto numbers.
During its first years this orchestra
was a semi-amateur organization and
its members were chosen from among
the bst musicians of its native city.
After a few years of this sort of ex-
istence, it became evident that either
the project should be given up en-
tirely, or that it should be developed
into an organization comparable with
the best in America. This speedily
was made possible through the work
of far-seing art patrons of Detroit.
The greatest factor in their suc-
cess, perahps, was their courage in
securing one of the world's finest con-
ductors, Ossip Gabrilowitsch, to build
im and carry on the orchestra work.
With the large resources set aside for
his use Mr. Gabrilowitsch has welded
together an organization which is rec-
ognized the world over as among the
best.
The program for next Monday night
will be an all Russian one, consist-
ing of selections for the orchestra,
and Rachmaninoff's Second Concerto
for orchestra and piano, Mr. Gabri-
lowitsch appearing in the role of
piano virtuoso.

and Smelting company and pronises
