"tipping" and profanity. President
Brown plans to erect a new "Brown
university" with all wickedness and
evil influences shut out from the col-
legiate life.
In doing this, the president can in-
deed be said to be attempting an ap-
proach towards the idealistic. The
plans which he now proposes, if faith-
fully and successfully carried out
would make the new "Brown univer-
sity" a place hinging almost on Utopia.1
"Having purchased the town," the~
president states, "I'll be able to keep
watch over its morality." The presi-f
dent may indeed be able to do so, but
is this "watch" necessary? We are
living today in an era which is cer-
tainly more progressive than the one
the generation before us passed
through. But this fact dloes not nec-
essarily mean that our moral stand-
ards, or the moral standards of mod-
ern universities are lower.
Indeed, with all fairness to the gen-
eration before us, it is quite an as-
serted fact that conditions have been
steadily improving at our universi-
ties. With the saloon on the 'corner
gone, with hazing barred, with card
playing tending toward bridge, and
such games which afford merely en-
joyment instead of the former big
poker games and the gambling con-
nected with itone can hardly believe
otherwise than that universities are
steeringa course towards their mater-
ial betterment. 'If dancing then, and
jazz music stands out as primary rea-

what harm can there exist in a.few
hours of such "sport." The generation
before us 'danced. ',The generation
which will follow us will dance., It
is a natural expression of feeling.
'fThe 6nly difference between our gen-

we dance in somewhat different fashion
to a somewhat different music and
syncopation.
Betterment of conditions has again
and again been found to work out only
by degrees, not by radical changes. It
can hardly be denied that President
Brown in assuming such plan brings
forward a ridical change. If univer

do so by degrees. President

BO0STING~ THE SWlMJ;,.R
In the Varsity swiingd;f1 an'sI'
banquet in the Union Wednesdaynight;
announcement was made which, if
followed out by constructive effort,i
looks like a promise of action in the
swimming pool situation.
The past season has been a notable
one for Michigan in swimming com-
petition, despite the really great handi-
cap of having to use the Y. M. C. A.
pool. It is immeasurably to the credit
of the coaches and the students that
they were able to take second place
intheconferencetas well as the
Relay cup despite this handicap.
The.conclusion is clear if the future.
of the University in this form of com-
petition is to be preserved. The team
must have an adequate pool in which
to practice and to accommodate specta-
tors at meets. How is this to be got-
ten?
Three 'pool, we are informed were
originally planned foi'Yost field. house
but had to be elmninated. Now the
team proposes to inaugurage a cam-
paign themselves to build the needed
equipment. They do not wish to con-
fuse the issue with the Union project;
it is to be a distinct enterprise.,
A .good sized pool with plenty of
room for on-lookers would give swim-
ming at Michigan just the impetus
that it needs to send the University to
the very top and make possible the ac-
quisition of another Conference cham-
pionship. The effort would. be the
same as it has been with basketball,
we predict. The number of spectators
would increase with the facilities.
With such support and the material
now on the' ainpus, a wonderful rec-
ord for next year' would be practical-
ly assured, the coaches assert. 'e
are confident that this is no over-
statement. of th case..
Negotiationis for an elaborate sched-
ule for next year are now under way.
The men are here and the coaches are
ready and more than capable to turn
out a winning combination. Let the
t'. atlf'tt huthOnities get'behind the'
campaign in a constructive way. It is
fairly safe to say the students will

considered a corner stone of educa-
tion.
The old text book with all its dates
and lists of kings and queens and
with its long accounts of. battles hasc
aeen abandoned. . During the firstE
year the student reads Well's' "Out-
line of History" and Van Loon's i
"Story of Mankind," thereby gaining
a good background. The students
will then get any understanding of
history as a whole. After having pic-
tured the setting of history clearly in
his mind the 'student is allowed to
specialize during the following years
in that course which is. best to his
1lking.
Events which indicate the advance-
ment and improvement 'of humanity
are stressed rather than those events
of wars and battles. This method em-
phasizes the causes which have led't
up to conflicts anl the general effectst
which have resulted, and regardsI
great battles as mere sign posts along 1
the wdy of the world's advance. Cae-
sar and Napolean, Grant and Foch
are considered unimportant figures in'
history. However, great patriots are1
not disregarded so entirely that the1
fire of patriotism burns out, but mil-
itary deeds are held subordinate.
Have yer readers send in contribs
on the :darn thing-

And if that jolly little contribution
doesn't create a demand for the Rover
Boys, we don't know what will.

We see that Mr. Wenley has strung
together 4 few quotations for Chimes
this month. Very jolly way to boost
the publications, if you know enough
poetry. This sort of thing-
While Browning says that there are
"Two points in the adventure of the
diver, One-when a beggar, he .pre-
pares to plunge, Two-when a prince,
he rises with his pearl, I, on the other
hand (desiring, like Shakespere, "This
man's art and, that man's scope") am
inclined to the view of Keats.
"Forever will thou love, and she be
fair;"
THE ANN ARBOR PLAYMAKERS,
alias, the Dodos, will present their
thiyd subscription program of this sea- r
son tonight and tomorrow evening in
the Dodo Playshop on Spring Street.
The present production, in keeping
with their policy, will consist of three
original one-act plays, "Beside the
Road" by A. D. Conkey, "Escape" by
SSue Grundy Bonner, and "For God's
Sake Be H'uman" by M. S. Everett.
".eside the Road," under the direc-
tion of Lawrence Conrad, will include
L. J. Carr as Taller, Warren Bower
as Shorter, and C. V. Wicker as tile
Traveller.
The next play, "lSca ker" is uw'-
the direction of C. V. Wicker, with
costumes by Marjorie Bronson. The
pant of the Gir' is played by Sonia
Bloom and the Hermitaby Donald
Snyder.'
For God's Sake Be Human"
eludes Mrs. H. P. Scott as Mrs. Putter,
'Norma Bicknell gas Felicity Wrench-
more, and R. G. Rodkey as John
Wrenchmore. I. P. Scott, of the
Rhetoric faculty of course, is the di-
rector.
THE JUNIOR GIRL'S PLAY
Confidence and ease inspired by two
previous presentations added the tin-
ish necessary to mnake thle third per-
formance of "Thank You Ma lam," the
Junior Girls' Play, at the Whitney last
night, an unqualified success.
After a rather leisurely and uninter-
esting start the play speeded up as
the plot progressed and the finale of
the opening act was quite effective,
while the second act was all that
could be asked for. The setting in
both acts was unusually good, the
first scene being laid in a flower shop
while in the second the setting moves
to a moonlit garden in Hollywood at
the home of a moving .picture actress.
Perhaps the outstanding feature of
this year's production' is the mnusic;
the numbers are all good and range
from the catchy to the inspirational.
The most popular number last night,
judging from the encores received,
was Byers "Michigan Dates," depict-
