KELLAR SCHOLARS AM TEACHERS AS PROFESSORS Several months of work by the Deans in Conference have cuhinated in the report on academic qualifi- cations for appointment and promo- Lion to the faculty which was accept- ed at the Monday meeting of the Uni- versity Senate and will now be re- ferred to the Board of Regents for final action. Although the exact nature' of the recommended changes has not been made public, it is significant that the Deans' report sugggests that' "higher qualifications be required off all candidates for faculty positions and promotions." This is an essentiall step forward toward President Bur-1 ton's ideal for Michigan-the highest possible type of educator. While it has been said by many that the principal trouble with educa- tion today lies with the student, not the instructor, it is equally certain that there has been too promiscous a disposalof teaching positions among persons hardly qualified to inspire the mass of students now seeking a higher education. Persons with no previous experience in teaching, with little besides a Bachelor of Arts de- gree to qualify them have been in- stalled to start freshmen off on their rhetoric and other beginning subjects. These so-called instructors have in many cases latent possibilities as teachers or scholars, but they are tpermittedto start active "steward- ship" before they have had time ade- quately to prepare themselves. Another travesty on our system of University education and its recogni- tion of scholarly achievement has been the promotion of individuals to the rank of associate and full pro- fessorships before they had proved themselves worthy. Men who have done little or no 4cholarly work, who have been in the teaching pro- fession a comparatively short time have been ranked with nationally known scholars with years of ex- perience.s'e eresult has been that the title of professor has come to mean little as an honor.,t Tf i°, r'neolrragingf, then, to note thatI ! - :n" r l.n is one which will{ "', ,,her qualifications" for fu- I 'rcmbers of the faculty. It is obvious that such qualifications should take somewhat the following treid: the title of full professor should indicate that the holder has done some sort of scholarly work which is recognized as outstanding in his field of endeavor; he should in addition have proved himself to be' a good teacher, cne who can impart his l-nowledge to students and be an inspiration to productive study; pros- pective instructors should be consid- cr;d only if they have been success- ful as teachers and have beeen award- ed at least a Master of Arts degree.

In the deceased Michigan Daily Sun- day Magazine for November 11, 1923, the drama editor labelled "The Fool," which is to appear at the Whitney Theatre Saturday, December 6, very flatly as the worst play in the English language. At that time, of course, he was very young, widely given to sweeping gestures and bombastic in- uendos. "The Fool," rather, to-day stands as a consumate example or bad- taste, equalled probably only by j "Abie's Irislf Rose," "For All of Us," 4 Dark blue suits of cheviot or of unfinished worsted in single and double breasted styles are the smartest now.
