on the subject. Nevertheless, Prof.
Rollo Walter Brown, an educator of
considerable note, in a recent article.
does bring forth a point that at least
seems to be new.
Professor Brovwn is opposed -to the
mingling of the sexes in colleges, and
yet he dismisses as either trivial or
fabsurd practically all of the stock
arguments against it. Hle ridicules
the idea that young men and women1
ha~ve jany m~ore or different oppor-
tunitie sfor' association in th~e co-
e-iucatioal' institutions thanh they do
fi those where the sexes are segre-
gated, or than they do when at home.
He does not share, or at any rateI
he does not mention, the argumexat of
such, a noted authority as. Dr. Muen-
sterberg that girls when in classroom
with boys necessitate a feminization
' f the instruction given.
Professor Brown's grievance is dif-
ferent from all these and perhaps
puts a new bee in the bonnet of anti-
co-educational cranks. Hle insists that
when girls and boys go to college
together the result is that there is a
separation of the studies pursued ,ini-
to two classes, those that are manly

The reason this col is dedicated to 1
Steve Decatur, is, not, as we often
said before, because we admire- hire~
Dior because we 'have personally bone-I
fltddl by 'anything he ever did'." ourj
life, we tell ourself confidently, has
rolled along much the same as It,
would have if ,Stephen had never been
Iborni..
The only reason we dedicatgid they
col to hiin is that: the Chic ago Tri-
bune, w'hich someone has c~alled the
World's °Greatest' Newspaper, thinks.
a certain remark the misguided fellow
once made is the right sort of founda-
tion for an editorial policy. The
sparkling epigram we refer to is this:
"Our country! In her intercourse
with foreign~ nations may she always
be right; but our, country, right or
wrong.

C AMPU S OPINION
SOME ASPECTS OF THE LABOR}
PARTY,
To The Editor: -
1I appreciate Mr. R. M. Wetiley for
his kind reference to my lecture. I{
like the sense of humor which istlg-I
gests that I am a "gift horse" whoG
carries "grains, of salt", in his mouth.j
In fastening m'e. down. to the, state,-
' mient: that' Ramsay MacDonald's wife;
was a "daughter of Lord Melvin,'
Mr.. Weniey shows a naive faith in
' the accuracy "of newspaper reports."
The curious thing is that Mr. Wenley'
was prasent ate my lecture and hecard,.
me say, that lyagaret Gladstone Way
the "niece" of Lord Kelvin.. A word
to the wise is indeed enough. But I
Iwelcome the letter, at least it assures
us that Mr. Wen ley knew Lord :Kelvin.

and those that' are womuanly, and thatf
among the latter there strongly tends'
to be placed wh'at - Used to be called'
the "humanities," including the an-
cient and modern languages and their,
literatures. 1
If this charge is well founded, and
its author has collected from many-
college catalogues a host of statistics,
that seem to prove or at least to
support his contention, the most serf-f
ous part of it is the conclusion as to
the development of the inhumane
among the men ,going to co-educational
institutions. At a time when it is
especially desirable that men should
be "humane," those who attend co-
educational colleges' are made "in-'
humane," it would seem, for lack of
the gentler influences of the studies
they scorn as "sisterly."
Itkcannot be denied that the human-'
ities are sadly neglected in the moderni
college. Xenophon, Herodotus, Homner,
the Bucolico poets; Plato, Euripides,
Aristotle, Greek 'drama. Virgil, Hor-
ace, Juvenal, Lucretius, Pliny, Taci-
tus, and Livy are' but meaningless
names to a great majority. 'Milton;
Chaucer, early English drama,. or
Spencer are too frequently strangears
to college 'graduates. "The" high'er
courses in modern languages are often
shunned; Goethe and Schill'er, Moliere
and Hugo in the original delight but1
i select few.

[NAIL!I MAIL! DO YOV WANT YOUR
My Dear 'Mr.-Cowles :-
Your" review of the :picure, "The'
Law rprhids," was asfnine all the
way throtigh and in one place mali-
cious. Where do you get that ~stuff
about Baby Peggy's "cheap little
face?" Are your own features so
exquisitely formed that you cana-
a-ford to criticize those of other peo-
Iple?
Also you" remarks some weeks ago
at 'the time of Eleanor Duse's death
were, to say the 'least, somewhat in
bad taste.
lI will not sign my name to this, be-
cause you will probably write some-
thing pseudo-humorous about it.
Yours,

SCIENTIFIC JOURNALISM
A newspaper is particular in select-

political writer is nofr selected to -do

funerals and a bachelor is seldom

Recently a series of articles appear-
ed on the pages of a well-known Chi-:
cago daily, on subjects of ,a scientific
nature, written 'by. a man who showed
himself vastly ignorant of physical
science. He even failed to recognize
the fact, so fundamental in physics,
that no work is done unless a dis-
placement occurs-a fact 'well known
to any student of physics. That man
is also a graduate of this university,
but not from the college of engineer-
ing or the department of physics.

T'HERE IS IN' ANN ARBOR,1 as you
can guess, an Ann Arbor High School, i
and after the manner of high schools!
the graduating senior class presents
'Its annual Senglr Play when every
May reaches it close. The function,
as a national custom, has gained forl
itself an unwholesome repute through
the myriad abuses the practice has
received. As.a rule the budding artist
of the school or the leading football'
player is cast in. the leading role and
surrounded to the embarrassment of
the players and audience with the
poeudo il ge belles. The whole af-
fair is almost unbeieab'y rode and
11wjward, and save for the pathtic
pride of the d ,ting parents a crying
sin against theatrical manner and
:morals.
Such a situation, in all honor, i
not local. In Ann Arbor High. school[
Miss Lurene Osborn is the directr[
of dramatics, and under'tier very
patient. guidance there. lav'e ev lved
a series of highly , ,tllfactqW pro .,
ductions.- Through her dogged per-
severance and 'limtless~ tact she is
able to instill ini her pupils an extra-
ordinary appreciation of the better
drama she insists on sponsoring, and
to remove from the actors a major
portion, of their adolescent self-con-
sciousness. H'er work has included
almost every type of play from the
average one-act bill to Shakespeare'
and Anatole France, and on occasion
she has directed several numbers for
the Players' Club in its healthier days.
The' very fact that she has had the 1
courage' to present "A Midsummer}
Night's "Dream," "The Man Who Mar- I
ried a Dumb Wi'fe,"and 'The 'Etivals'~''
shouldibe indicaitive of hr success.
Thl . year there will be offered under
h er supervision Laurence Housman's I'
difficult" fantasy, "Prunella," subtitledl I
from :4o specific reason, "Love in a!
Dutch'Garden." The play is generally
considered among the best of the
author's works, and during its initial
presentation coined 'a fulsome salary
for Winthrop Ames, who produced it
in New York with Mrgueroite, vlrkI.i
