Since the year 1858, various classes
have shown their appreciation of tle
part that the University has played in
their lives by leaving memorials on
the campus. The class of '11 has
exhibited it with a drinking fountain,
the classes of '58, '62, and '67 with
boulders and the class of '99 with, a
1 cannon. Five engineering classes, z07,
09, '11, '13, and '20, have given the
University the Senior benches.
The largest memorial is a huge rock
of basal conglomerate and was given
to the campus by the class of '58. The
smallest, is a rock left by the Druids
in 1910. In back of the Library stands
an old Spanish motar, the gift of the
class of '99. The water fountain at
the west end of the diagonal is the gift
of- Francis M. Hamilton, '69, to the
city of Ann Arbor.

Talk
Llewellyn Pfan-Kuchen, speaking as
the representative of the University of
Minnesota on the subject "The Control
of Progress," won first place in the
Northern Oratorical League contest
last night in Hill auditorium. He was
awarded the Frank O. Lowden Testi-
monial of $100.
William Sohrier, '24, the University
of Michigan representative, took
fourth place with his oration "Is Pro-
gress a Delusion?" The second prize
of $50 was won by Alice Hanson, of
Northwestern University. She spoke
on "Saviors of Men". Morris Sostrin,]
University of Illinois, was given hon-
orable mention for his oratiog "Want-
ed: A Return to Idealism."
Max Levingston, University of Iowa,
and Harold H. Cranefield, University
>f Wisconsin, speaking on "Social Con-
trol of Evolution" and "Justice for
F~ran'ce," respectively, took fifth and
sixth places.,
The winner, Pfan-Kuchen, in his1
speech on progress said, "Men used to
think that progress was inevitable,
that it would go on and on without
hnman effort, but this idea suffered a
set-back when, in 1914, the war turnedj
all the implements of progress to self- 1
lestruction.
Nature does not command progress,'
rather she opposes it. But the in-
genuity, of man has overcome nature.j
Progress is not the result of inevi-
;able destiny but of man's practical
3ontrol. Man has not only over-pow-!
ered the forces of nature 'but now!
nakes them =-ork for him."

Washington, May 2.-Tax returns
were voted open to public inspection
today by th'e senate as Republican in-
surgents and Democrats combined in
the first major attack on' the revenue
bill. The publicity proposal was bit-
terly fought by Republican organiz-,
ation leaders 'who were willing, how-
ever, to agree to inspection of the re-
turns by certain congressional com-
mittees as voted by the house and ap-
proved by the. finance committee..
Disposing of a series of other pro-
posals in an eight hour session, the
senate cleared the way for opening
tomorrow on the contest on the in-
come tax schedule, th'e heart of the'
bill.
Other action taken today included:
I rejection of the finance committee
amendment imposing a 10 percent tax
on radio sets, 40-13.
Rejection of treasury department
'proposals to limit deductions in re-
lation to incomes from tax exempt
securities, 37-36.mApproval of Secre-
tary Mellon's suggestion for a board
of tax appeals with some modification.
Aside from the income tax rate, two
other provisions on which extended
fights are in prospect remain to be
considered-the estate and fcorpor-
ation taxes. Amendments, indoesed by
the Democratic conference, were in-
troduced today, proposing substitutes
for these which would change the
entire form' of the tax.
It gives the'e corporation and option,
upon unanimous consent of the stockj
holders of being taxed instead of un-
der the partnership levy.,
Sen. Walsh, Democrat, Mass., intro-
duced a substitute for the estate taxi
to provide for an inheritance levy mak-
ing the tax apply on a beneficiary of
a'na estate instead of directly on the
estate itself before it is .divided. Rates
tartiig at 2 percent oni 25,000 and,
graduating up to 30 percenton' $5;600,-
000 are proposed. .

orary scholastic society, will hold its
annual initiation banquet at 7:30 o'-
clock tonight in the main dining
room of the Union. At this time 6 per
cent of the senior class of the Liter-
ary and education schools, the num-
ber elected recently for membership,
will become associated with the Michi-
gan chapter of the society. The
principle speaker of the evening, Dr.'
Robert Andrews Millikan, will give
an address, "The Significance of
Modern Science."
In addition to the student neophytes
present will be the distinguished edu-
cator, President Paul Voelker of Oi-'
vet college. President Voelker was
elected as an alumnus member of Phi
Beta Kappa by the recently estab-.
lished chapter at Drake university.
Inasmuch as President Voelker will'
be unable to get back to Drake in
time for the annual initiation,.officials
have requested the Michigan group to
include him in their ceremonies.
Bates is Toastmaster
Desin Henry M. Bates of the law
school, president of the local chapter,
will welcome the new members.
Chalmers H. Quaintance, '24, and Maryj
McCully, '24, two of the newly elected,
will reply to his word of welcome
from the president. Dean Bates will
be toastmaster of the evening.
Professor Millikan, who. was the
second American to win the Nobel
physics prize, has made some of the
biggest contributions of recent years
to the facts known about atomic'
molecular structure. He took his
bachelor's degree at Oberlin college
in 1891 and was in later years award-
ed degrees by Berlin, Columbia, North-1
western, Amherst and Dublin uni-'
versities. Among the most recent of
his books is "The Electron," published
in 1917.
Speaker Won Nobel Prize
Among his most important discover-
ies were the proof that ,electrfeity
has an atomic structure and the 'uea-
surement of the unit charge of the
electron. The only other American!
who ever won the Nobel prize in phy- I
sics was A. A. Michelson, who was
honored for his important works in
1907.
Professor Millikan is now associated
ith the Norman Bridge laboratoryf
of physics at the California Institute
of Technology, Pasadena, and is chair-
man of the administrative council of
that organization.{
Tickets for the banquet will be $1.501
and will be on sale at the door. In-
vitations have been extended to all
alumni of the chapter and an earlyt
count of acceptances indicates that a
large gathering will assemble for the
annual meeting, it was stated yester-
day.

Establishment of the honor systemj

was made probable yesterday when"
students of all classes of the schoolf
gathered'for a general mass meeting

the proposed system explained to
them. Dr. Udo J. Wile, 'acting for'
Dean Hugh Cabot, explained -thatiit
was proposed to inaugurate a Student
council composed' of men~ chosen fro
the classes by popular election.
With this council will be placed the
responsibility of the honor system, andI
other matters of discipline, not re-
quiring immediate action of the ad-'
ninistrative authorities of the Mdi-
cal School. The council it is sug-
gested, will be composed of one fresh-
man, two sophomores and three men
from each of the two higher classes..
It is the ultimate aim 'of the school,
I according to Dr. Wile, to place in the
university catalogue definite rules up-
holding an honor system which stif-
dents must accept before they will be
admitted to the school.
Class presidents were asked by Dr.
Wile to call meetings of thel various
classes to hold' discussions "on the'
matter, after which they will be'ask-
ed to submit their reports of the meet-
ings, which' will be placed' in 'the
hands of a faculty committee. N

KANSAS STUDENT PLCES"
IN ARCHITECT CONTEST
Lawrence, Kansas, May 2.-Joseph
"United States of music" is the title
of an editorial in the New York Times
which suggests a international music
week in connection with the first nat-
ional music week, May 4-10.,
"There has been organized in Eur-
ope," says the Times, "the Internation-
al society for Contemporary music,
with its headquarters in London, which
is referred to by one critic as the
capital of this 'new United Statesof
music.' That it is internationally con-
stituted may be inferred from a per-
former by it in Salzburg in August.
There was an English singer, German
string quarter, French wind players
and an Austrian tympanist under an
English conductor, with a dozen dif-
ferent nationalities represented in the
audience." The Times .suggests that
an international music week of this
,sort should *be sponsored by music
lovers in the :United States.
New officers elected for the ensu-
ing year by the University Club, meet-1
ing last night at their club rooms,
were; Prof. W. P. Lombard, of the
physiology department, president;
Prof.1H. J. Goulding, of the engin-
