sent Civilization Is Now
Nearing Period Of Decline
In Opinion Of Dean Cooley
KRUPP PLANT HAS COAL FRANCE SEEKS
CONVEINTION HERE
Men From National Church iodies
Will Convene Friday For
Three Day Aet
Is our civilization on the decliningC
slope of its existence? Will it share
the fate of the previous ones? Is
there something in the present sys-
tem of educating our future citizens
which if corrected would retard our'
rapid descent? Dean Mortimer', E.
Coley of the Engineering college re-
Gentl~y expounded what he believed to
be the answers to these questions.
"Some people are inclined to be-
lieve," he declared, "that this is the
best civilization that the world has
ever known, that nothing can hinder
our .further progress toward a. kind
of heaven on earth. Such a thought
is ouen to much difference of opinion.'
From 6000 B. C. we have had six or
seven distinct civilizations. The his-
tory of each of these is like the life
of a man-it has been born, has grown
to maturity, and then has died. Even-
tually our civilization must go through
a like course. The fall will not neces-
sarily involve a great calamity, butj
wil bring about a change in our mode
of living."
Shows Conclusions By Diagram
In drawing an analogy which would
depict the course of events more clear-
ly Dean Cooley uses a declining line
to represent each of the'.successive
civilizations, including the present i
one. At a given point the line re-
traces to serve as a foundation for the,
new civilization, represented by the
line below. Vertical lines, drawn
through these paths are employed to
represent the point at which art was
supreme, a little further along a linej
kill-represent education, and still fur-
ther comes- the wealth line.
The diagram shows that the period
of greatest wealth forewarns the fall
of a civilization. Most people believe
that our art has reached its zenith
and that education has come to its
highest point. It follows from this
that we are entering into the stage of
maximum luxury and wealth, and that
decline is inevitable.
"One civilization ceases to exist and
out of its ashes springs another," he
continued. "Previous to our civiliza-'
tion was that of Rome and it died
with Caesar.. Ours has been growing
about 1500 years. History tells us
that none of the other civilizations
have lasted more than 2000 years."
Must Learn Co-operation
The keynote of our present 'situa-
lio denrinr to D7a C nlv liar in
the fact that we must learn not only
to build, but to preserve civilization.;
"The specialist who typifies our pres-
ent civilization, learns only to con-
itruct, not to preserve," he said.
A: a conclusion to his statements
Dean Cooley declared, "Educators now
realize that conditions must be chang-
ed so that education may be a means
of teaching us how to preserve our
civilization. This is the age of spo-
cialization and wherever there is a
spectolist there is a peak. Soon the
plain of our normal life. will become
mountainous-it will be filled with
peaks, and where there are peaks, as
in nature, there are bound to be val-
leys. The specialist stands for indi-
viduality, and what we need is co-
operation.
"The curriculum of 'the colleges
must undergo a great change. There
is goingto be a retracing of steps. We
should strive to get the most out of
life and not to earn the most morey
that we can in this life."

New buildings, new things change,
in fact, change seems to be .the gen-'
eral atmosphere on the campus to-
day-whether it, is caused by the ap-
pearance of so many "Alfreds" at
work digging up the ground, or by the
seeming difficulty of students to pass
final bluebooks. One thing has re-
mained permanent and untouched
througl it all, however, and that is the'
front door to the old Museum, which
Tas not been opened for over 20 years.'

Since theie the door has become oldl
and rusty from lack of use, and now
students and visitors alike use the
rear entrance, finding it a more cn-
venient means of approach.

PLAN DISUSSION (UOUPS
AN) TALKS WITH STUENTS
Ten of the biggest men in the field
of religious work representing prac-
tically all of the larger church denom-
inations in the country will attend the
national conference of religious edu-
cational men to be held for three days
in Lane hall beginning next Friday
The conference is being sponsored by
the Student Christian Association
through its vocational committee.
lDelegilles Arrive Tl'iirsday
This will be the first national con-
vention of its kind to be held at a
stato University. Representative:,
bcth men and women, from all the
national church educational boards
will take part in it, These delegates
will dome from New York, Chicago,
Boston and other parts of the country.
They will arrive in Ann Arbor Thurs-
day night.
lt is the ]plan of the Students Christ-
ian Association to throw these iwork-
ers into direct contact with the stu-
dents during their stay in Ann Arbor
so that the latter may learn of 'the
work the church and other Christian
actvities are doing around the coun-
try. Many of the meetings of the dele-
gates will be open to students and oth-
ers, and fraternity ,nd sorority hous-
es are asking the delegates to come
for dinner and to give talks or lead
discussion groups.
The purpose of the conversation is
to consider the question of general
religious work for students and' to
'furnish definite information on the
work that is being done in specializedl
religious fields throughout'the coon-
try. This includes the social service
work being done in the larger cities
and the missionary work that is 'Al-
ing carried on both at honie and
abroad.
To Consider Student :Work
Regular meetings of the delegates
will begin Friday morning.gs oth open
and closed conferences will be held,
and also discussion groups and gen-
cral meetings. Three days will be de-
voted to these.
On Sunday night a special Univer-
sity Sunda'y service will be held in
Hill Auditorium for the people present
at the convention. Dr. Lynn Harold
Hough, former president of North-
western University, and present pas-
tor of the Central Methodist Church
of Detroit, will give the address at this
time. Norman B. Johnson, '25; is
chairman of the vocational comlmittee,
which is in-' charge of all arrange-
ments for the convention.

Tentative arrangements are now be-
ing made by the geology department,
for a trip to be taken by geology
students to Put-In-Bay, for the pur-
pose of making a study of glacial
action, as this region offers one of
the beat examples in the country of
that feature of the science.
This will be the first trip to Put-In-
Bay that will have been undertaken
by the department for several years"
Last year it was planned to take 'the
trip, but owing to the fact that the
boat service did not open until late in
the spring the excursion was called
off.
The trip is intended primarily for
students' of geology, but after the ac-
con-mnodations are made for them, the
remaining space is .sold to anyone. on
the campus. In former times the
number of excursionists has gone as
high as 600. The cost to the student
is not excessive, the rate being be-
tween four and five dollars. In addi-
tion to the geological interest attached
to the trip, the spot is noted for its
scenic beauty. In the event that the
boat service does 'not open in time, a
special boat i:ay be chartel;ed by the
department for the trip.

Riverside Drive and the jungles of.
Africa mingle in Mary Miles Minter's
latest Paramount offering, "Drums of
Fate," to be shown here Sunday, Mon-
day, and Tuesday.
In the role of "Carol Delliver," so-
cicty debutante, Miss Minter rejects a
sca~re of admirers and then gives her
heart to young "Larry Teck," an- en-
gineer on leave from his African jun-
gle post. He is unexpectedly ordered
back to duty on the day of their mar-
riage, leaving her behind. Word comes
some months later that he has been
killed by natives. A year later "Teck"
who has been wounded and held pris-
oner, comes back and finds his wife
married to an invalid musician, who
