Charles Proteus Steinmetz, electrical

of a physical breakdown due to a
trip to the Pacific coast, from which
he recently returned.
Dr. Steinmetz had been under the
care ,of a physician for about two
weeks. He made a six weeks' lecture
tour and returned to his home here
exhausted. His physicians ordered
him to bed and refused to permit vis-
itors to see him.
Dies Without Warning
Last Monday it was announced he
was steadily improving.
This morning, according to reports
from the death chamber at his home,j
he told his nurse a minute or so before=
he died that he was feeling fine. With-
out warning or sign he turned over in
bed and died as he was being served
breakfast.

Coaches Yost and Little sent the
Varsity football squad through-,a light
signal drill yesterday afternoon as the
final preparation for the annual game
against the Michigan Aggies which
will be held at 3,o'clock this after-
noon on Ferry field.
The team, which has been holding
secret session since the first of the
week, is in good condition physically
according to the trainers, and it is
expected that the Wolverines will
have little difficulty in trouncing the
l Farmers today, as in previous years.
Large Score Wanted
It is probable that the Varsity or-
fense today against M. A. C. will be
of the wide open variety with the for-
ward pass playing a large part in the
attack of the Yostmen. Michigan has

Burton. In presenting Sir Paul, Pro-
fessor Winter said:
"It is my privilege to present to you
for an honorary degree, Sir Paul Vin-

prudence in the Univerity of Oxford.
In conferring upon"him her highest.
honor, the University of MichiganI
pays tribute to a scholar whose bril-
liant studies in legal and social insti-
tutions, particularly those of Exjgland,
have won for him an acknowledged
pre-eminence in his own country and
abroad. His researches in the life
of the peasantry and the village com-
munities of the feudal age, repre-1
sented by his "Villainage in England,"
his essay on "Folklore," "The Growth
of the Manor," and "English Society
in the Eleventh Century" are.authori-
tative works, marked by profound
learning and lucid exposition. Not
less important have been the many
and notable publications in the field
of jurisprudence and the history of
jurisprudence whereby he has taken
rank as one of the world's leading
scholars. In recognition of his ser-
vices as a distinguished educator,
jurist and historian, the University'
bestows upon him conspicuous
honor."
Sir Paul Responds
Sir Paul responded with a brief
speech in which he spoke of his "Deep
sense of gratitude for the exceptional
honor about to be conferred," refer-i
red to his own birth and education and
concluded with tributes to America
and to the University.
"What has always attracted me
greatly in the United States," he de-
clared, "is the magnitude of your
American democracy and the general
domination of prosperity. Put even
more admirable than this material
strength and wealth, is the success
with which your country has main-'
tained the democratic ideals of ts
founders. Equality is not an empty
word with you. In America you are
justified in paraphrasing the old
French proverb to the effect that there
are no mean men, only mean tasks.
Every man a'mong you retains his in-
dependence of character and dignity,
re-ardless of the work in which ho i
engaged.
"While in your country," continued
Sir Paul, "I have learned to appreci-
ate another national quality not gen-
erally recognized, a peculiar aptitude
for friendship in its simplest and tru-
est sense, an aptitude of which it
would be difficult to find the equal
anywhere. In no country is friendship
a more potent force in social life
than in America. As a member of
your University community, I will try
to imitate you in friendship and in
loyalty."
