The Board of Regents accepted a
gift of $400,000, the largest ever made

troit manufacturer, clubman, and in-
Oustrial executive, in her husband's
name.
The endowment is to be known as
the "Thomas Henry Simpson Memor-

The presentation to the Regents was
made by Henry F. Slyfield, Detroit
attorney.
According to the terms of the be-
quest, which were outlined in a letter
of presentation, $150,000 of the gift
shall be devoted to the erection of a:
building for medical research in con-
nection with the University. The re-
mainder of the gift is to be invested'
in securities, the income of which is
to be used for payment of salaries of
medical and scientific directors and
their assistants in conducting the re-
search.

Mrs. Simpson asked that the re-
search work be devoted primarily to
the study of pernicious anemia, the
disease of which her husband died.

Football Team
Taken By Death
Edgar Madsen, '27, varsity football
end, who was taken to the health ser-
vice Wednesday afternoon, died at
8:50 last night of lobar pneumonia.
His death was very unexpected as he
was admitted to the hospital with
what was believed to be a light case
of pneumonia but at 7:30 last night
his condition became critical. His
home was in Fairmont, W. Va.
"Madsen's death was notadue to
any injury received in football," said
Dr. John Sundwall of the health ser-
vice. He practiced Monday and felt
well. The first indication of his ill-
ness came Tuesday morning when hef
showed a fever, and was confined to
his home for the day."
Playing at the position of end "in
the Wisconsin and Minnesota games
he was changed to center in the last
scrimmage. Herbert Steger stated
last night that "he was the hardest
worker and one of the most conscien-
tious and best liked men on the squad.
He was always the first man on the
field in the afternoon."
Madsen was a heavyweight wrestler
-star of the freshman team last year
-and counted as the best prospect of
the wrestlers for this year. He was
a member of the track team.
He played on the Oak Park high
school football team for four years,!
being captain in his Senior year. ,or
three years he was selected as a, nmem~'
her of the mythical All-Cook County
football team and was selected as
captain for this.team in his third year.
During his high school football career
he played on the same team with
Uteritz, Steger, and against Castle of_
Illinois. The "High School World"
selected him as an all-American high
school football player.

"If the tale of adventure preaches
at all, it is by way of wholesome
practice rather than by precept; and
the virtues it instills are those of the
ready hand, the nimble tongue, and
the quick wits.
"In more primitive, less artifical

Editor Of Christian Science Monitor
Will Discuss "Headlining
Happiness"
Emphasizing the need of the coun-
try for a better journalistic standard
and declaring that the newspapers are
responsible for many of the criminals
today, Edward T. Cutter, superintend-
ent of the Central division of the As-
sociated Press, addressed the sixth
annual dinner of the University Press
club of Michigan last night at the
Union.
The conference opened a three day
session yesterday with more than 150
representatives from the newspapers
over the state. Following registration
during the morning and an afternoon
gathering for discussion of current
problems, the meeting convened last
night for the annual banquet.
Describes Associated Press
Mr. Cutter in his speech on "Pres-
ent Day News Gathering" opened
with a general description of the As-
sociated Press, "the greatest news
gathering agency in the world, which
is daily read by more than 50 million
people." He outlined the policies of
the service, stressing particularly the
fact that the aim was to have the
news "honest at the source." "The
Associated Press," he declared, "is ab-
solutely unbiased, and endeavors to re-
cord -ccurately the world news." Mr.
Cutter took the place on the program
,f Kent Cooper, assistant general
manager of the Associated Press,
who with Herbert B. Swope of the
New York World, was unable to at-
tend.
"The yellow 'journals," he pointed
out, "are one of the most detrimental
forces in shaping the lives of the
young people. One of the most im-
portant duties of the newspaper pub-
lisher is to exclude improper material.
For the love of your country, learn
to put in honest, straight-forward
news you would have in your home.
Frayer Speaks
Opening the addresses of the eve,
ning was Prof. William A. Frayer 01
the history department who spoke
upon "The Historian Looks Over the
Newspaper." He showed of what
benefit the riewsps pers were to the,
historian in the matter of furnishir f
material, especially from the adverr
tising and editorials rather than. in-
accurate news. He pointed oul how
much attention is being paid by the
Clements library to collec°,ions of
newspapers, and how imnaurzant they
I were, even though thAr news was of-
ten rushed too much to be exactly
correct.'
The third speaker on the program
was Arthur Vandenberg, ex-'02, of the
Grand Rapids Herald, who also made
a plea for cleaner journalism. In the
course of his remarks he paid a higl
tribute to President Marion L. Bur-
ton for his work at the University
and expressed thanks to him also foi
his co-operation with the journalistp
of the state.
