KOYKKA WANTED-A FOUNDATION Michigan's law school ranks as one of the best in the country, yet there is one major branch which needs de-{ veloping,-the graduate work. The weakness of the law school in this regard was recently brought to the attention of the University by Dean Henry M. Bates in his annual report to the President.I With the completion of the first sec- tion of the Lawyers' club, the law school has gained much. It will gain much more when the present plans for completing the club and for a ew Law: building are carried out. With these added- facilities, the induce ments for graduate study here will be great, providing we have a strong graduate school in law. It is the duty of the University, and was the wish of President Burton, that the University keep pace scholas- tically with its program of expansion. Buildings may be built in a few months, it takes many years to build scholastically. Now is the time to start.

But we poor plebians were the ones who received and ap- preciated the little seed pearls tossed to uts. The dainty program, whose main feature was a naive juvenile perform- ance, opened with a cool and frag- rant work, Beethoven's "T he, Heavens Proclaim." The High School chorus performed creditably with neat cresendos and diminuendes. The sec- ond number, Kucken's "Good Night, Farwell," was accompanied and well done. Miss Loretta Deghan has a voice of lyric beauty most suitable for the in- terpretation of the broad-flowing, simple melodies which characterize. the late seventeenth a n d e a r ly eighteenth century Italian composers, and she showed wisdom in her choice of songs. Gounod's "Lovely Appear" from "The Redemption" reminded us in the vag- uest possible fashion of "'The B Minor Mass"-it was the diminuative secular offering of the ,jldren compared to the grander, more eloquent one of the - Choral Union. But one of the quaintest numbers was Miss Deghan's "Rain Song" by Hahn sung to the children-- "It isn't raining rain to me, Where ev'ry buccaneering bee A health unto the happy. A fig for him who frets! It isn't raining rain to me, It's raining violets." Another impressive work was La Forge's "Supplication." It was rather a pity that the best number was the last because those poor people who left early, even if they deserved it, missed a quaint, de- lightful performance. Kelly's suite, "Alice and Wonderland," is a de- hiciously youthful work. He has created a melodic and harmonic phrase that the children delight to] AKE- SPEECHDEFECTS CORRECTED y By ASPEECHATEDR.
