AMONG STUDENTS OF MANY
NATION S
KNOWN AS WRITER
Will Deal With Educational Facilitie
and Problems in Lecture
at S Tonight
Difficulties confronted today b
European students, with a general out
line of conditions in Russia, will b
discussed by Sherwood Eddy, inter
nationally known traveler, speaker an
writer, at 8 o'clock tonight in Natura
Science auditorium. Mr. Eddy, by
years of travel and mingling with stu-
dents of other countries, is regarded
as an authority upon foreign studen
life, and tours, at his own expense
many of the principal universities o
the country, lecturing upon social and
economic situations in the lands h'e
has visited.
Last year Mr. Eddy conducted a
summer tour with university presi-
dents, economists, and labor leaders
throughout Europe, with the intention
of investigating the actual social prob-
lems facing continental peoples. His
intimate knowledge of European stu-
dent conditions is attested by the
study he has made of the subject, a
study which includes recent personal
conferences in outstanding men in
Germany, France, England, Czecho-
Slovakia, and Russia.
The speaker was requested to deal
particularly in his address here with
the state of educational facilities and
problems in Europe and Russia. In
addition o his lectures upon this
subject, he is also the author of "Rus-
sia, aWarning and a Challenge." His
other books include "The New Era in
Asia," "Suffering and the War," "With
Our Soldiers in France," and "Every-
body's World."
This will not mark Mr. Eddy's first
visit to Ann Arbor.-Last year he ap-
peared before the state older boys'
conference,fandtalso spoke upon the
University Service program.
Service among foreign students
marks Mr. Eddy's career since his
graduation from Yale university in
1891. After 1896, he spent 15 years
among the students of India, at the
same time visiting universities and
colleges of the Far East without sal-
ary. By request, he at one time ad-
dressed Chinese provincial parlia-
ments, and other foreign institutions.
in recent years, his work has largely
been confined to Europe.

sed by E. M. Gladden, '06E, general
commercial superintendent of Mich-
igan for the Bell interests in a talk
at 11 o'clock today in room 248, West
Engineering building.
The lecture will deal with commer-
cial surveys and the application of en-
gineering to business, and according
to Prof. J. H. Cannon of the electrical
engineering department, will be of in-
terest not only to engineers but to
business administration students as
well. Mr. Gladden will also tell of re-
sults obtained by the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph company in ;im-
ilar surveys.
The talk today will be the second of
a series of twelve similar lectures
planned for the semester.

POINTS OUT NEED
F 0 Ra UNIVERSITY
REORGANIZATION
Regents of the University of Michi-
gan, and in fact governing bodies of
all state universities, should consider
the problem of changing the entire
system of university management, ac-
cording to ideas expressed by former
Governor Chase S. Osborn, who was
also a member of the Board of Re-
gents of the University several years
ago, in a recent interview.
"This is emphasized," Mr. Osborn
said, "by the death of the magnificent
Burton of Michigan, ;following the
passing of the great Van Hise of Wis-
consin several years ago. Both men
destinctly and unmistakably worked
themselves to death."
Mr. Qsbrn, 4fdrther explains his
suggestion by saying that "no one
man is equipped to do the work of
conducting a university" at the pre-
sent time. "If a man is a scholar, he
is not likely to be an executive in
economic matters; if he is a business
man, he is not apt to be a scholar.,
Consequently, one department or the
other will suffer.
"Then, there is the ever present
necessity of lobbying for funds. The
scholarly president who has to get
down to the ordinary details of busi-
ness and politics is dulled in his fin-
er intellectualism as well as a suffer-
er in pride and dignity. It appears
clearly that there should be a clear
separation of the affairs of the univer-
sity so that the scholar can do his
best work and also that the vast
business of the institution be taken
care of as it should.
"There is only one way to accomp-
lish this, and that is to substitute a
diarchy for the present system wherej
responsibilities are divided between
a president and a chairman of the
board."

Washington, D. C., March 3.-Briga-
dier General William Mitchell, about
whom the air power controversy has
revolved for some time, will not be
continued as assistant air chief of
the army, air force when his present
appointment expires March 26.
This was learned authoritatively to-
day that the next assistant army air
chief will be selected from a brief list
of names now before Secretary Weeks
and that this list does not include
General Mitchell, who has been an ar-
dent advocate of unification of the
government air services despite ad-
ministration opposition.
It was made known today that the
nomination for the place would be
sent by President Coolidge to the
special session of the Senate, which is
called for noon tomorrow and that it
would conform to any recommenda-
tion Secretary Weeks might mnake.
Failure of General Mitchell to receive
the appointment which carries the
rank of Brigadier General will re-
turn him automatically to the rank of
colonel.
The brief list now before Secretary
Weeks includes eligibles.recommend-
ed by Major General Patrick, chief
of the army air service, Major Gener-
al John L. Hines, chief of staff, and
others whose advise Mr. Weeks has
sought in an effort to find a man whose
qualifications for the assignment can-
not be questioned.
The secretary, who discusses the
appointment with President Coolidge
today, will confer with the executive
again before formally submitting his
recommendation to the White House.
The nomination is expected to reach
the Senate Thursday where Senator
Wadsworth, Republican, chairman of
the military committee, to which it
will be referred, is expected to seek
early confirmation of the officer nam-
ed.
