Yale, it is true, will soon assume the position vacated by Harvard, but the nation will at the same time miss the activity of an institution which had come to be the standard by which all other university dramatic endeavor was judged. The corporation of Har- vard College will do well to consider carefully before it permits the 47 Workshop, the backbone of instruc- tion in an important art, to lie dor- mant. Even though Professor Baker has been lost, his work can be de- veloped to great advantage. A SANE ACTION The final round of the interstate fight to put an end to the illegal di- version of 10,000 cubic feet of water per second by the Chicago sanitary district has begun, with half a dozen representatives of Great Lakes states and cities arguing the case against Chicago before Secretary , of War Weeks. Navigation on the Great Lakes has been seriously injured by the continuous theft of water by Chi- cago for over thirty years. Army engineers have been stating and re- stating this fact ever since 1895 when the sanitary district was first ordered to take no more than 4,167 cubic feet per second. This is the situation which all but a few partial Chicago engineersadmit and which Secretary Weeks recognizes. With all contention narrowed down to a question of the minimum time which will be required by the sanitary district to provide new mneans of sewage disposal, matters should soon come to a climax. The most critical of the opponents, including Attorney General Daugherty of Michigan; are insisting that Chicago could safely re- duce the diversion to the minimum "within two or three years." While it must be admitted that the Chicago officials themselves are to blame, the greatmasses of the people of the city would be those to suffer if an increase in disease should be caused by the in- ability to provide proper sewage dis- posal within the years allotted. In the interests of the people a period of five years, as has been suggested by many of those involved in the case, would be the safest and thus the most desirable. "D. S. ." Ten deserving scholars are about to be honored ,with a new and unique degree, the string of initials trailing their names to be augmented by ad- ding "D. S. P.," providing officials of the University of Chicago succeed in carrying out a plan for giving recog- nition to outstanding service of an in- tellectual character. This is to be ac- complished by the creation of "Dis- tinguished Service Professorships," the awarding of the honor carrying with it a salary of $10,000 a year-the provision which probably will be most pleasing to the recipients. Among American institutions of higher learning, Chicago is noted for I her innovations in methods of educa- tion. Many of the predominant ten- dencies in our universities and high schools have found their origin in the research and practice of this institu- tion. It is even more encouraging, then, to find Chicago again leading the way in a project which transcends in importance any movement in edu- cational circles today. Universities and colleges must begin to prosecute some sort of a campaign which will result in adequate compensation for those who give their life to further- the best interests of our civilization. Material appreciation must be accord- ed those who are eminently successful in their particular pursuit in order that younger scholars may be spurred on to greater effort. It is this that Chicago proposes to do. There is, however, one thing which must not be overlooked. If there are to be great scholars in the future de- serving of such recognition, salaries. adequate to modern needs must be provided for those just starting out asj instructors. Many, it is true, are will- ing to sacrifice the luxuries of life for their chosen vocation, but in so doing they are also limiting their own ca- pacity for future endeavor. Those who provide the revenue for our universities should realize that educators must be given something toward which to work and something to work with while they are getting there. The University of Chicago is deserving of praise for her part in initiating the former part of such a movement. OASTE ROLL TolliUE OIN E NUMBE ONE I 4: i m MUSIC AND DRAMA it STRIVE TO THE GOAT4 Yesterday afternoon the remains of President Burton, who had served Michigan faithfully and well, were lowered into their final resting place. With his death came the end of a great force, a powerful and gentle spirit, one which had guided Michigan well through its most eventful period of transition and expansion. His loss is felt-how deeply it is impossible to record. The task which he had set for him- self--the building of Michigan into a truly cosmopolitan seat of culture- is still far from complete. He did much; but his death prevented him from seeing his task through to com- pletion. There could be no better tribute given him than to carry on from the place where he stopped. Let those who are in a position to do so, strive' to attain the goal which he had set up before us; let them continue along the road which he had pointed. It would have been his wish; let us car- ry it out. THE 47 WORKSHOP Ever since the resignation of Prof. George P. Baker from the Harvard faculty those interested in the drama have been conjecturing concerning his reasons. It was perfectly clear that Yale had offered him a better financial backing than had been the lot of his famous 47 Workshop, but the failure of Harvard to compete for his services was never made com- pletely clear. Even the students of the College appeared to be in the dark. President Lowell's discreet silence on the subject was maintained until in a speech before the Harvard club of Washington, D. C., early last week he explained that the corporation of the College felt that the 47 Workshop, although performing a valuable serv- ice, did not warrant further expan-1 sion and must yield to more import- ant departments of the university, in particular to the College where the further development of the tutoriall system is a vital matter. It is difficult for those who are ac- customed to think of the old eastern colieges as institutions of almost un- limited endowment to conceive of# Harvard college being so poverty- stricken that the activity of one de- partnent must be curtailed in orderl that another may be developed. It has seemed in the past that only an appeal to alumni was necessary to assure a million or so for some pro-1 ject .

Perhaps, dressed in worn and tattered clothing, they are selling small articles in the streets; perhaps trudging wearily to work at some bare livelihood in garments of shabby respectability, remnants of better days; perhaps staying with their children, absolutely dependent upon them for sustenance. How very few you find who are independent! What a sad commentary upon human existence that for their years of toil they have so little left to care for them and comfort them during their declining years! Strange, isn't it, that for half a century of labor they have nothing left upon which to spend their old age? Many of them are, of course, the victims of circumstances without their control. Burdens have been more than they could bear, or their scanty savings have been wiped out in a single calamity. But for such circum- stances, a few cents saved from their earnings during their younger days would have amply provided for these lean ones. Why didn't they do it? Why could they not foresee their circumstances? The answer is that youth is generally blind. It lives for today- alone with no thought of the morrow. In the full vigor of youth, old age, sickness and death seeni far, far away. If it is thought of at all it is but to resolve that, "next week I'll change. Next week I'll begin to save." And next week remains always in the future until at last it is too late. Youth must learn. Youth must save, if old age is to be provided for. You think, "but this will not happen to me. Some way I will escape." But there is no escape from cold facts and figures. Either you must start making provision NOW for the years when your services are no longer productive or you are reading your own fate in the lives of these old men you meet today. Think it over.
