Klein PROFESSOR BEMAN After a half .century of devoted service to his Alma Mater, with each succeeding year a more elo- quent testimonai- to the character and accomplish- ments of' its giver; Professor Wooster Woodruff Beman has passed from our midst. Rhetorical phrases and oratorical embellishments cannot hope to improve the eulogy provided by such a splendid record of fidelity and usefulness. During the long course of his unequalled term of service; Professor Beman did muchto spread the fame, of his University. His text books on mathe- matics took his name and the gname of Michigan to schools throughout the ation. In his own quiet and unassuming way he was an inestimable factor in the growth of Michigan from her pioneer days unto the time of his death. The University will miss Professor Beman as one who has become a part of her very structure, and who has made her every interest his own. Fifty years of 'unselfish and valuable service is in itself a' tribute which is difficult to surpass. WHY THE FRATTER LEADS When a call is sent out on the campus for any kind of athletics, it is truly surprising to note the number ,of capable but backward individuals who back down and fail to show their colors, simply be- cause they feel that they may not have a chance in competition against the old timers. Particularly does this attitude take possession of the "Independ- ent", all too frequently making him feel that, merely. because the fraternity mian's name appeas most. frequently in the B. M. . C. columns, he him- self would stand small show, even in fair competi- tion. This very notion without question is responsible for the failure of a great many capable athletes to turn out for track this year. It is easy to under- stand how the Independent should be led to feel as he does, but. it is unfortunate that his backward- ness should keep him off the field or track. No doubt the fraternity man does lead, as a general rule. But he does not stand out because of politi- cal backing, as some would have us believe. He very frequently comes to the front simply because he has behind. him men who not only are interested in his activities as such, but who have their own organi- zation sufficiently at heart that they will push and urge him continually until he exerts himself to get into the race. Or again, the energetic Independent, having made a name for himself in the University by his activities, is apt very quickly to be gobbled up by some fraternity or house club, as soon as he begins to receive general recognition. Fraternity connections do not interest Coach Far- rell, however, or any other "good coach for that matter. "Steve" and Trainer Hahn need men, and the fact that so-and-so wears diamond studded pins on his vest cuts no ice with them whatever. The non-fraternity man, who has ability and who is will- ing to work and exert himself, can advance on the squad just as rapidly as the man of Greek letter connections. Certainly neither brawn nor the glit- ter of frat-pins should frighten anyone away from training quarters. A track squad offers berths for every conceivable sort of material. Steve Farrell needs big men, little men, huskies and lightweights, and needs them in a hurry. Let's have everybody out! DO WE WANT THEM? Next Monday the Detroit Symphony orchestra comes again to Ann Arbor, and again the tickets are not going as they should. Such a condition can- not continue. Is it lack of appreciation of orchestra music that is holding back ticket sales? More likely it is in- activity on the part of those who want the concerts, failure, in short, to give the series the real kind of boosting it deserves. The Detroit orchestra is one of the greatest in the country, and boasts one of the most skilled of all leaders. It is plain, further- more, that the School of Music has been doing its best to make the course a success, by giving its pa- trons the best talent available. The whole responsi- bility, then, devolves finally upon the people who wanted the series in the first place ; it is up to them to make it a financial success by seeing that Hill auditorium is packed to the doors Monday night. The School of Music wvill stand a heavy deficit this year on the orchestra series, and if indications of better support next season are not immediately forthcoming, this course must necessarily be the last. UNFAIR CONCLUSIONS Study of foreign languages has decreased 3.58 per cent in eighteen of the leading universities of the country during the eight year period of 1911- 1912 to 1919-1920, according to a survey made re- cently by Frederick Ferry, president of Hamilton college, and submitted to the Association of Amer- ican colleges. It was found that the decrease had been supplemented by increases in the number of -hours devoted to the study of science and literature. The survey was hardly carried out on a wide enough scale to indicate that interest in foreign lan- guages, on the part of college men and women throughout the country, is waining. With few ex- ceptions, only the eastern schools were taken into consideration, and in many of these colleges the study of foreign languages which was formerly compulsory.is now wholly optional. But, if it is true that such a survey is indicative of a falling off in the interest formerly taken by college students in foreign languages, it represents a condition which is not altogether satisfactory. Friendship between nations is often promoted by a common desire on the part of the inhabitants of one country to study the language and institutions of another. The university functions as a labora- tory where this knowledge may be aptly acquired. But a survey, such as the above, must be carried outI on a nation-wide basis if the results are to be of any determinant value. When it is confined to a certain section or a few schools conditions existing in the locale where it is made wilf so color the in- formation obtained as to make the final conclusion worthless. "The White Headed Boy" is to be presented here this afternoon by special request. We are told that it is agood show, and, incidentally, the proceeds will go eventually into the Woman's building fund. C'mon! C'mon! L-t's have a track turn-out that is really worthy of Michigan. 7ie Telescope To a Cafeteria I've used your dirty, greasy spoons, And never raised a howl; I've eaten many half-raw steaks, And still I did not growl. Your soggy potatoes I stood, Nor any kick did utter; But I get sore when the cashier Parks my check in the butter. -Vee Dee.
