Ruth St. Denis, "the rhythm of the

to Ann Arbor that she has a special
interest in the University of Michi-

mother took work in the Medical
school, a fact which proved of the
utmost importance in Miss St. Denis'
life work.

Jesus College, Oxford University, this
year. While here in the University,
Greenman engaged in research work
in archaeology, and worked with the
Museum collection.
In a letter received recently by Dr.
Wilber B. Hinsdale, of the University
Museum, Greeman writes: "We are
still looking for an apartment, and
until we find one we are putting up
at an Oxford hotel. Admittance to
the University was quite a ceremony.
The vice-chancellor spoke some
words in Latin to us thirty at a time,
and then we were admitted to all du-
ties, rights and privileges of the uni-
versity.
"Lectures are formal-that is, cap
and gown, but laboratory work is in-
formal, not a cap and gown, but a
pipe."
Greenman plans to remain at Ox-#
ford for the rest of this year and thenl
go to the Paris-American school,
"after which I will be ready to return
to my native land-the land of fur-
naces, good coffee, and wooden
houses," he says. 11
Greenman is one of the five stu-
dents from Michigan now at Oxford.

A series of articles by prominent

universities of the United States is
being printed, one each month, by
Current History Magazine. Michigan
has been honored by having a profes-
sor of History, Arthur Lyons Cross,
chosen to write upon the subject,
"The British Empire." Others who
are well known and who are on the
program, are Albert Bushnell Hart, of
Harvard, on United tates and Cau-

Announcement has been made of a
committee appointed recently by
President Marion L. Burton to inves-
tigate the guidance given to students
in choosing their courses of study at
other institutions.
"At Dartmouth," said Prof. Edimund
E. Day, head of the economics de-
partment, "a system for solving this
problem to some extent has been in
existence for several years. Richard
W. Husband's official title there is
'Director of Personal Research,' andl
his duties along this line are to keep
in touch with the students; if he ob-
serves any serious misfits in the var-
ious departments, he attempts to start
them on the right track without fur-
ther delay."
The committee appointed consists
of the following members of the Fac-
ulty: Prof. Edmund E. Day, head of
the economics department. Dean Jean
Hamilton, Dean Joseph A. Bursley,
Prof. Henry E. Riggs of the civil en-
gineering department, Prof. George F.
Myers of the education department,
and Prof. Jesse S. Reeves of the poli-
tical science department.
This is essentially a fact-finding
committee to report to the conference
of deans the ways in which other col--
leges solve the problems of 'vocationi-
al guidance and the operations of
placement bureaus.
