And one man stands out as the in- spiration and guiding hand that sent many of these Michigan men into the writing field-Prof. F. N. Scott, '84, '88 A.M., '89 Ph.D. To Professor Scott, who, besides teaching them the "laws of the paragraph" and other of the tools of their profession, gave them the necessary urge to enter the field, the great majority of them are ever-lastingly indebted. Professor Scott will always be a bond between the alumni and the University, but,. for the student body, the knowledge of what Michigan graduates are do- ing in the world of letters or the other fields of endeavor is limited. The University must not lose contact with its alumni, for the inspiration of their success should be ever before the present undergraduates. PRACTICAL lEROISM Although their efforts are occasion- ally scorned by a few witless college freshmen, the work of the boy and girl scouts, especially in saving hu- man life, merits in the minds of most everyone the highest praise. That the teaching and time put into the work by the scout leaders has not been in vain is tangibly shown in the recent annual recognition of the heroism of their members. Highest honors were awarded to four boys and sixteen girls by officers of the two national orders for the saving of life during the past year, for beingdtrained to act and to know what to do in time of need. Reports of eye witnesses were the basis of the awards, and in each case the honored scout had saved the life of one or more, persons only at great risk and manifestation of selfabnegation, cour- age, and endurance. Of the sixteen girls receiving citations, several were between the ages of ten and twelve years, and the boys were but slightly older. Although the awards are of but slight intrinsic worth, they signify the highest recognition that can be given. One cannot help but find encourage- ment in such unselfish and courageous acts. And the promising thing about the whole matter is that every year there are an increasing number of suchcitations made by different or- ganizations, suchas the Carnegiefor similar heroic deeds. The work of the boy and girl scouts in this field has been of the highest order and value to the nation in the furtherance of high ideals. The shallow judgment of the occasional college freshpa on the worth of the institutions of his boyhood is, as usual, wrong. A Chicago man was clubbed and robbed of $950 in Berlin.

SUNDAY, MAY 16, 1926 Night Editor-COURTLAND SMITH TOATED ROLL STUDENTS ON 5-YARD LINE By Hitten Runn (ROLLS' SPORTY EDITOR) Crashing to a tremendous conclu- sion that brought the stands to their feet with a mighty sigh, the Reds fought the Blues to a standstill yes- terday afternoon on Ferry field. The score was 3-0 but that doesn't por- tray the great issues involved, or the effect on the international situation. This was absolutely the best game that this writer has seen on Ferry field. He had a seat on the 50-yard line. Incidentally, the writer has solved the question that is bothering i the Athletic association night and day. If this plan is followed out everyone will have a seat around the 50-yard line. In fact everyone could have one exactly on the line. All they have to do is to hold the games in the spring. The boys in the refreshment stand got the idea it was' going to be a base- ball game, and sent the kids out with peanuts. Onetof the Blues-let' us call him Zzee, for as they say in the Post, that isn't his real name-stood out from the rest of the players, and missed three passes in a row. But it . wasn't so bad. At the time the writer was watching the boys run up and fall down the sheet-metal covering on the North stand. One of the prettiest sights of the game, was when the Maize and Blue came proudly marching down the field. They were two girls dressed up in the season's most popular colors. One of the, boys in the press stand came to about half way through the game, saying that he just remembered that touchdowns had something to do with the science of the game. Your correspondent can't imagine what re- minded him. FATHERS MEET SONS It was quite a reunion last night] at the Union, when fathers sat down to dinner with their sons. Everyone enjoyed talking over old times, and many were the memories of the last time the fathers had eaten a meal with their sons. "What a Son Expects His Father to Accomplish at the Office" was the title of one interesting talk. The speaker brought out the fact that, after all, fathers are at the office to work; they are there to prepare themselves for the end of the month." "Fathers," he said, "you must see the purpose in your life! You must follow through to the goal. Ever look forward to the time when you leave the office and make your way alone in the long and weary days of retire- ment. "Make the most of your days here, so that when you leave the office you can say with all assurance, 'I worked hard and faithfully. Urging that fathers think less of the golf course and more of the office, the speaker continued, "The younger generation will tolerate you in this sphere only as long as you give every- thing you have to the business at hand. In conclusion, the speaker stressed the point that the social side of the office must not be overdone, and that "although a certain amount of good times can be tolerated without injur- ing the efficiency of the office, still, work is supposed to be work, and should not become a secondary mat-f ter." * * * THE THIRD ALARM It seems that some co-ed went into one .ofthe stores in the Arcade, andj came out too quick. Well, the inevit- able happened and the awning was in flame in no time. The Ann Arbor fire department was right on the dot, as was the Daily staff, the latter beating the hook and ladder men there by several minutes. The conflagration swept the awning. For a time it was thought that the entire awning would be burnt to the ground, but luckily it was eight feet overhead, and the only damage was the complete destruction of the afore- mentioned canvas. -Nick. * * * OUCH! A good cause for a lynching party is meeting in town this week-end. The state dentists are holding a little get-together here, and, it is supposed, improving their technique. Now, we can't say much personally against that profession, as we have a date with one of them in a few days, but still something ought to be done about it. If there is anyone in the audience that has had all his teeth pulled and would like to have the floor for a few remarks, kindly come forwnrd. 132 INTERESTED WOMEN Throughout the school year, leader' of the faiipus women have been at the Student Council for the suffrage in campus elections. They have ob- jected to the name of the Council, in- sisting that either the women be al- lowed to vote on its memoership, orl that the name be changed to the "Men's" Student Council. The Council has answered the Women's complaint by stating flatly that the feminine interest in campus elections has been small-, is small, and always will be small. Apparently the Council, in this mat- ter, has exhibited more judgment than even the most optimistic persons an- ticipated. On the recent election, the total vote of 2,374 included the bal- lots of only 132 women. In other fig- ures, the women's participation was five and five-tenths per cent. The women can claim that their, vote was small because they are not lzow permitted a voice in the im-I portant offices on the ballot, but thatl argument should not be considered for one moment. If the women werel really interested in'gaining suffrage- and publicity and ,agitation have not! been ;lacking' to arouse such an in- terest-then regardless of. the. im- portance 'of . their individual ballots, they 'should"have amassed a respect- able total as an indication of whatI they would and could do. The women's vote cannot be called insignificant, for it was not that. It was very,. very small, but very, very significant. "MY FAVORITE AUTHORS" The University should claim its own. Its graduates become famous, and yet, even in the minds of its own undergraduates, they are not recog- nized as Michiganders. Although the graduates may take great interest in the affairs of the University and keep up the contact in alumni circles, yet, when ft comes to the public bond be- tween' the school and the individual graduates, it is only the exceptional' case that is noticed. Thus it is surprising to many stu- dents to find that several of the best known of present day writers are graduates of Michigan, and the men that they have known as literary celebrities, now become "one of the family." In an article in the "Alum- nus," Waldo M. Abbot, instructor in the rhetoric denartment. resents a A SUMMER SEASON OF PLAYS Due to the popular success of cam- pus productions during the year, offi- cial permission has been granted the Alumnae Council to present The Play- ers of the University of Michigan in a six-weeks' season of comedies and farces on the scheduled program of entertainments of the Summer Ses- sion. A new play will be given each week, opening June 22, on Tuesday and Thursday evenings in Sarah Caswell Angell hall, and the proceeds from the productions will be donated to the .Women's League building. * * Sarah Caswell Angell hall has been selected in preference to the Mimes theatre on account of the latter's ex- cessive heat during the summer months. Sarah Caswell Angell hall, on the contrary, protected by a high intermediate roof, is among the cool- est and best ventilated auditoriums in the city. The theatre will be re- decorated, with a green velvet drop- curtain, the proscenium is to be banked with palms and flowers, and new seats are to be installed, the final rows being elevated. It is also the plan to present each production in the Pease auditorium, Ypsilanti, on Monday evenings under the auspices of the University of Michigan Alumnae of Ypsilanti. Paul Stephenson, the director for the past two seasons of the Ypsilanti Players, will be the consulting director of the company, and Frederic MacPherson, carpenter for the Mimes and Whitney theatres, will be the stage manager. Themembers of The Players will incld Amy Loomis, Neal Nyland, Robert Henderson, Lillian Bronson, Camille Masline, Francis Horine, Elizabeth Strauss, Richard Woellhaf and William Bishop. Miss Loomis is to be with the Rockford Players in Rockford, Illinois, next season, of which Robert Henderson has just ac- cepted the position of director. The season will open with a revival of Bernard Shaw's "Great Catherine," which has already been presented in Ann Arbor for ten capacity houses, as well as for an additional ten per- formances throughout the state dur- ing the spring vacation. Amy Loomis, Neal Nyland and Robert Henderson will play their original roles of Catherine, Edstaston and Potiom- kin, respectively, the only material changes in the cast being Miss Mas- line as Varinka and Richard Woellhaf as the ,Sergeant. For the second week Rachel Croth- ers' light comedy of American man- ners, "Expressing Willie," will be pre- sented. This satire was given with great success by the Actor's theatre recently in New York, and Miss Loomis will appear in the role created by Crystal Hearne of Minnie White- comb. Other characters will include Neal Nyland as Talliafero, Elizabeth Strauss as Mrs. Smith, Francis Horine as Francis 'Sylvester, and . Robert Henderson as Willie. A contrast will be the production in the third week of W. S. Gilbert's sentimental Victorian comedy, "Sweet- hearts," to be preceded by John Gals- worthy's short melodrama, "The Sun." Camille Masline will play the Girl in "The Sun" and Neal Nyland the Man, while Amy Loomis and Robert Hen- derson are cast as Jenny and Sir Harry Spreadbrow in "Sweethearts." For the fourth week A. A. Milne's brilliant farce, "Belinda," played in New York several seasons ago by Ethel Barrymore, will be presented with Francis Horine in the title-role. Neal Nyland, William Bishop and Richard Woellhaf-something of a "discovery" through his extraordinary work as Smitty in "S. S. Glencairn"- will appear in the supporting cast, and Amy Loomis will play Betty, the maids Moliere's famous burlesque, "The Doctor In Spite of Himself," ("Le Medecin Malgre Lui"), will be given in English for the fifth week, and will- mark one of the most interesting pro- ductions of the season. Robert Hen- derson will be Saganaralle, a part which he played ' last - summer in Gloucester, Massachusetts, under the direction of a pupil of Jacques Co- peau of the Theatre du Vieux.Colom- bier in Paris. The local performance, therefore, will be presented in an un- expurgated form and according to the authentic traditions of the French theater. The director will also have the use of the personal prompt-book of Jouvet, Copeau's greatest actor and now director of the Champ-Elysee theatre in Paris. The final production will be Colin Campbell Clements' new Roumanian melodramn.

It may look like a surrender in view of the long crusade of the un- dergraduates, ably led by the editors of the Yale News, and supported of late by a majority of the faculty. But if the members of the corporation had felt that the students had 'not a good case, no doubt they would have held on to the old custom with the bulldog tenacity recognized as a typical trait of Yale. The appeal for relief from an out- worn requirement was reasonable. In every- small college, such as Yale was once, it was an advantage of discipline and routine to start the day punctual- ly by bringing the whole student body together at a stated place and stated hour. Chapel exercises were the con- venient means., This was long before the day of elective courses and varied schedules. What was formerly a use- ful expedient for collecting the little family at the outset of the day lost its value when the college grew to a great size. Mere numbers make com- pulsory chapel impractical and in the government of the modern university it is not essential as a spur to punctu- ality. The oldest living alumnus probably, cannot remember that his classmates accepted daily chapel in a religious mood. Nobody maintains that the cur- rent undergraduates do so. The Yale News has said, "We have a body of men who go to chapel under protest to sleen. read. or mainly to sit while LANDERS FLOWERS 320 E.
