"BOOSTING" MICHIGAN
In these lays when university
alumni associations are being describ-
ed as the banes of modern universi-I
ties, mere scouting organizations for
the procuring of stellar athletes and
the chief factors in the commeri'ciali-
zation of college athletics, it is a wel-
come relief to read of the activities !
of the University of Michigan clubs
in putting constructive Michigan
literature in the high schools .of the
country.
According to the Michigan Alumnus,
33 clubs have purchased copies of
"The University of Michigan," a his-
tory by Wlfred B.'Shaw, '04, and have
placed them in the high school and
public libraries of their respective
cities. These same clubs, and manyj
others subscribe to the Alumnus andj
The Michigan Daily and have the
copies sent to the local libraries;
many even have sets of the Michigan-!
ensian for the use of those interested
in the University.
The ultimate aim of the alumni or-
ganization is to establish, in everyj
Iigh school, a "Michigan book shelf,"
ciontaining books written by Michigan
men, histories of the University, re-
scriptions of Ann Arbor, and files of
University publications - "a place;
where high school students will find
very persuasive proof-and descrip-
tions-of the greatness of Michigan's
state university."
This is ethe type of work for which
aluni assodiations were organized.
The at-ilete.will take care of himself; {
alumni will be doing a great service
to their alma mater by spreading the
story of Michigan among the real stu-

A LAW STUDENT'S ISSUE WITH!
THE INSTITUTION
To the Editor:
There's something strikingly queeri
about a situation wherein a law stu-
dent asks to see her final exam blue.
book and is told flatly that there is an
ABSOLUTE faculty ruling against it.
The statement coining from a law,
professor, I presume he knows where-
of he speaks. On pressing for the
reason, I am told that, if the rule
were otherwise, the time of the fac-.
ulty would be taken by complaints,- !
personal welfare, for up to date
(March 23), I have in over a year andt
a half been absent from but one class
and that during the last year before
the new attendance rule took effect.
(I state that with no particular pride,
but merely to make a point). But I
wish to take issue with the manner in
which the rule is worked out. Onel
would suppose that when a professor
calle upon an absent student either by
mistake or intentionally, there would
be no occasion to make some sort of;
record of it. A notation at such a
moment seems quite ominous, espe-
cially if a person interested in human
nature were to observe the expres-1
sion on the professor's face.1
Again, if the student were presentI
and answered, "Unprepared," one,
can't understand why the professorl
here too uses his pencil. If the rul- I
ing lets him attend classes whenever
he pleases, what difference can it
make to the professor (outside of his
own feelings, but it appears that the
ruling did not take cognizance of
that), that the student has not pre-
pared the last cases of his assign-
inent or even the first ones. There
will be enough people who find it
necessary to prepare their lessons
from day to day, to lend material for
an hour's discussion. One easily can
conceive of a theoretical class room
where, the whole class being absent
voluntarily, the professor might sit
down in a1l his dignity, and engage
in a lively monologue, calling upon
every absentee, and instead of getting
the customary "Unprepared," if un-'
prepared, receive an attentive silence,
after which, he would enter each item
of bookkeeping. And yet that is what
actually happens when a student an-
swers unprepared or when, although
absent, he is called upon., g
It strikes one thht this is an empty
endeavor to compete with certain
rival law schools-and there are many
on the inside who object to the rul-
ing as carried out. Whereas before, $
a student had an opportunity to speak
to the attendance committee, now he
must accept whatever fate the omin-
ous notation holds for him. While
voluntary attendance is most desir-
able and complimentary to the stu-j
dent who has an earnest wish to know
the law as it is, and ought to be, yet I
the rule as carried out subjects him
or her to the use of kindergarten
methods,-which seems highly anti- r
thetical to the connotation in the
words "Voluntary Attendance Rule."'
Here it may be noted that when the
professor's interest is involved, not
the student's, the professor doesn't
stop to think that he is violating not
only the spirit, but also the letter, of
the rule.}
"WHOM GLORY STILL ADORES"
Catherine never kissed a man less4
than six feet. That was the mistake
of the Captain Edstaston in the first
production of "Great Catherine" last
January. In the revival tomorrow
evening in the Mimes theatre Edstas-
ton is barrel-shouldered and as tall as
Prince Patiomkin. The finale for the
first act when Patiomkin drags the
Captain to the queen is in itself a
Sproblem.
Beyond this, there are Catherine'sI
morals to be considered. A woman!
who was a woman!. "Great Cath-
erine," they called her "whom glory
still adores." She had her Prime
Minister Patiomkin, who, after thel
first romantic attachment, developed
into her staunchest friend. He was a
tyrant, ugly, lazy and thoroughly dis-
reputable in his personal habits, but
he had a wild sense of humor that
could laugh, even at himself-and in-
fluence his Empress as none other.;

Phyllis Loughton
Varinka in "Great Catherine"
Besides this single constant angel, l
Catherine's gallantries provide one of
the lightest and most shocking pages,
in all history. Ideals and reforms
they claimed for her; but it was the
woman in Catherine that attracted
Bernard Shaw-as all of us.
Byron brought Don Juan 'to Cath-
erine; Shaw substitutes a Nordic
Englishman who males a proper fool
of himself and marches proudly with
his virtue to its stainless final cur-
tain. He has written greater plays;
but none suite as funny, as clever and
slapstick, "Great Catherine" is Shaw's
final apology to the William Shake-
speare that wrote "The Taming of
the Shrew."
