learning that ever occurred. Literally
tens of thousands have crossed the
portals of our universities, and the
regrettable part of it was that many
of them are unfit for the education
they receive, having neither the men-
tality nor the ambition to become
scholars or leaders in professional
fields. Finally, this increasingly seri-
ous problem .has attracted the atten-
tion of the more advanced -.,minds-.
among, our educators and" the. recent;
rulings have been the result.
Whatever the practical advantages
and disadvantages, of the scheme are,
however, ,and there are many of them,
the new rulings of these educational'
institutions seem to be .a sincere ef-
fort 'to solve the pr'oblem of our
"country club universities"; and, what
is more, they are the first, effort in
that direction,. It is not ten years,
people will recall, since the head of
the great California educational in-
stitution remarked that one of the
chief advantages of a large school
was the ability to produce a good
football team. Such a revulsion , in
sentiment as the present announce-
ment shows is more than significant;
it is revolutionary.
The tendency demonstrated in these
schools is wholesome; there is no
doubt about that. But when all is
weighed in the balance we might well
ask the question as to why a first
class graduate school can not be main-
tained in connection with a great
state university, as graduate schools
generally are not at present. There
seems to be nothing contradictory in
the existence of a graduate or profes-
sional school side by side with a four
year course, as their existence at
Michigan seems to prove; and if the
action of Johns Hopkins and Leland
Stanford is merely a gesture to place
them on a pretended higher plane
than the average school, then it is
hollow and unworthy. There is prob-
ably no intention of this kind, how-
ever, and the policy will constitute
an interesting experiment which the
rest of the educational world will
watch with interest. Until there is
better evidence on one side or the
other, however, there can be no rea-
son for Michigan to follow in their
footsteps.

TOATE RLL
THE'R S
CAMPUS
PASTURE
What a lot of elderly students there
are at this University! At the In-
vocation Sunday, the main floor, which
was respectfully restricted to students
and faculty, was .about half filled with
townspeople. And it was the best half
of the floor that they occupied.
* *
Itis perfectly alright if they want
to come, but ;they should sit up in the
balcony so that the speaker won't
have to correct himself, as he did,
changing "boys and girls" to "ladies
and gentlemen" in addressing the au-
dience, and then later use the "boys
and girls" when he meant college stu-
dents.
* S S
Perhaps If the Student Council
would announce that there would be
no collection taken up in the balcony,
there would be more townspeople up
there.

MUSIC
AND
DRAMA
THE FACULTY CONCERT
A review, by Robert Carson
Bomar Cramer, guest-pianist on the
Faculty concert series Sunday, pre-
sented a program of exceptional qual-
ity. His selections were classical
par-excellence having none of the
sensational, the ultra-modern, or the
dazzling tricky numbers to appeal to'
an ordinary audience. , Unfortunately
Hill Auditorium was too large for. the
number of listeners, with the result
that a disconcerting echo was pro-
duced. The playing would have been
wonderful chamber music. The pro-
gram included Schubert-Tauzig, Bee-
thoven, four numbers of Chopin,
Rachmaninoff, Paganini-Lizst, Albeniz
and Liadow.
The Beethoven "Sonata Op. 53," the
second number, was too long and irk-
some, and the rendition was not up to
the high standard of the balance of
the program. But with the opening
dumber of the Chopin group Cramer
seemed to find himself and instilled
lan artist's quality into his work. He
showed ostensibly that he possessed
a strong, effective rhythm, an execu-
tion that was faultlessly smooth and'
precise. Even the most difficult oc- I

Night Editor-CHAS. E. BEHYMER
THE BISHOP OF LONDON
F The Rt. Rev. Arthur Foley Wlnn-
ington-Ingram, Lord Bishop of Lon-
don, was given an enthusiastic wel-
come by faculty members and stu-
dents yesterday on his arrival for a
three-day visit here. Rarely, if ever,
have they given any churchman such
a welcome.,
President Clarence Cook Little pre-
sided at the luncheon4at which the fac-
ulty welcomed the prelate. Student
representatives officially welcomed the
distinguished bishop in the afternoon'
because'he is taking a special interest
at Pendleton library in the Union.
Why are the faculty members and
students taking so much interest in
this particular churchman? Simply
because he is taking a special interest
in them. The purpose of his visit to'
this country is to learn more of stu-
dents and their problems. He has de-
voted a great portion of his life to
this particular kind of work with un-
usual success. He has a knack of
making the faculty members and stu-
dents interested in him. He makes
himself one of them, and when not
studying them officially he is seeking
recreation with them at their favorite
games.
Perhaps, that is the secret of the
Bishop's 'success. He looks for the
good that is in the student, rather than
for the bad as most churchmen are
wont to %o. As . a result he is wel-
comed wherever he goes, and con-
sequently gets the data he is after by'
winning the confidence of those, in
whom he is interested.
The faculty members and the stu-
dents of the University give sincere
wlrome to the London prelate during
t. visit here. They will be glad to
welcome other great churchmen who
'onstrate that they understand
sFTudnts and are working for their
interest.

AN ECONOMIC LOCARNO
With wide reaching business agree-
ment between France, Germany, Bel-
glum, and Luxemburg already com-
pleted for control of the continental
iron and steel market, as well as for
many other products, the recent con-
ferences between British and German
industrial leaders seems to presage
the formation of an "economic Lo-
carno." If the London deliberations
end successfully, England will un-
doubtedly pool many of her industries
with those of the continental coun-
tries, and thus complete commercial
bonds which promise to bind together
practically all the industrial nations
of Western Europe.
Although one of the purposes of
such combinations is admittedly to
oppose the American competition in
foregn markets, these agreements will
be economically beneficial to the en-,
tire world, chiefly by assisting the re-
covery of Europe's crippled industries.
By means of marketing and produc-
tion schedules, the danger of com-
petitive concerns flooding the markets
at cut throat prices will be eliminat-
ed. Every advantage of the monopoly
may be utilized, while its principal
danger, that of price fixing, will be
prevented by the present or potential
American competition.
Moreover, the political significance
of such action would be tremendous.
In reality, it would be a pact for the
peace and welfare of Europe far
stronger than that signed by the dip-
lomatic representatives of the variousl
countries. Political agreements are1
often broken by the dictates of econ-
nomic interests. In an "economic Lo-
carno," however, with commercialj
contracts benefitting all the signa-
tories, and with domestic industries.
strongly objecting to any break in,
prosperous relations, there would be
more influential motives for the
maintenance ;of peace.
CAMPUS OPINION
Anonymous communications will be
disregarded. The names of communi-
cants will, however, be regarded as

Our Scotch blood boiled when Dr.
Fitch told of having telegraphed that
long title-seven words-and then de-
ciding, after he got here, to change it
to "Two Lives." Who paid for that
long telegram?
* * *
A NEW TRADITION
"A tradition a day keeps the
frosh at bay." We have one we
think would be a splendid addition
to the collection. The Idea Is to
allow no frosh to step on the seal
of the University as it is found
on the floor of the Library lobby.
If any sophomore discovers a
yearling walking on that emblem,
he would have the right to step
on the face of said fresh.

SOMEBODY SLIPPED somewhere,
because there was no mention in the
ads for Mary Pickford's "Sparrows"
about it being a bird of a picture.

ARCHAEOLOGY EXPEDITION DIGS
RIGHT IN DEAR ANN ARBOR TOWN
After a great deal of investigation
we have discovered the real reason
for excavating over there where N.
University is being extended. That
steam shovel is working in the inter-
ests of science, under the direction of
the Archaeology department of the
University of Alaska.
It seems that they hope to find val-
uable remains of civilization that once
existed here on the present site of the
great and prosperous city of Ann Ar-
bor. They believe that Caesar didn't
cross the Rubican, he crossed the At-
lantic-the "Rubican" being .merely
the mistake of the General's steno-
grapher, in typing the letters Caesar
sent home to the book publishers.

And that the main part of his works
are not his, but were written by Hegg,
a contemporary and friend of Bacon.

The discovery of the gas pipe, in
fairly good state of preservation,
buried at the Ice Age level caused
great excitement yesterday morning.
"Ah," Professor Muagua, the leader,
said, "This proves my theory that the
end of the Ice Age came when the
polar bears set up stoves at short in-
tervals, supplied by gas from the na-
tural deposits."

effort. And in the realm of tone W ATCH AND
Cramer's work also excelled; at times JEWELRY
it was appropriately penetrating and
bell-like, again, soft and persuasive. REPAIRING
That and his masterful technique were FANCY SHAPED
outstanding features of his playing.
Cramer's interpretation of the WATCH CRYSTALS
Spanish selection "Triana" by Al- WATCH STRAPS
beniz was particularly good. He did
it as only one who leans toward the HALLER'S
Spanish school in music can. The
two Rachmaninoff numbers an "Etude State Street Jewelers
Tableau, B minor" and a "Prelude" in
B flat major were extremely difficult suniainuliuiiiulu usuisiil
and allowed the performer the op-
portunity to display his skill techni-
cally. But the two concluding num
bers on the program were easily the
most outstanding on the program. The Enterprises
"Prelude" by Liadow was wonderful
and "Theme and Variations" the con-
cluding number by Paganini-Liszt was
more so. This began with a lovely Public invted to hear
melody of Paganini's, gradually grow-
ing more difficult until it rose to a -
dramatic finish. T
