HISTORY FELLOWSHIPS
If there is a single phase of inves-
tigation and research that has been
woefully neglected in comparison
with equally worthwhile fields it is
that of American history. Almost
without exception the great historical
scholars of the United States have
devoted their attention to some other
field, and the result is that a large
territory of research remains entirely;
unexplored at present, though the
start made has been valiant.
In view of this condition it is ex-
tremely encouraging to find that some
concrete steps are being taken to rem-
edy the situation, and that the Amer-
ican Historical association has raised
an endowment of a million dollars for
the purpose of encouraging this type
of research. The money will be used
for the reimbursing of scholars, who
spend time on the field of American
history, and as the first step in the
project a committee will pick out the
fields that need most to be investigat-
ed.

VTICTQIY
Members of the Iowa debating
squad, included by mistake on the
baseball team, attempted to talk Mich-
igan out of the Big Ten baseball cham-
pionship down at Ferry field yester-r
day afternoon. But in the end it tool
their baseball players to do the bus-
iness.
Iowa's talking attack rattled those
strong. silent men selected for the
Michigan squad. They held up brave-
ly for awhile, but finally broke down
in the seventh inning, andrnever re-
covered during the rest of the contest.
The umpire at the plate misinter-
preted the designs of the debaters be-
lieving them to be the class in aesthe-
tic dancing. And he came right back
with the hootchie-koochie.

this enthusiasm will be directed into

THE SCHOOL OF FORESTRY
One of the first concrete achiev
ments made thus far with the increas
in available funds granted by th
legislature is the establishment of th
new School of Forestry and Conserva
tion. A dream of Professor Filiber
Roth when he came here in 1903;a
project when President Burton died i
1926; the school is to become a real
ity under the hand of President Lit
tle and the influence of a group o
far-sighted men.
Charles Dana, one of the nation'
leading foresters, has been secured fo:
the post of dean. Professor Leigh
Young, formerly head of the depart
ment here has taken the position of di
rector of the State Department of Con
servation, and with the alignment of
the two force Michigan is in a posi-
tion to accomplish an immense amount
in the field of conservation.
With the added facilities now avail.
able, however, unexcelled at any
school in the country, as they are,
the state of Michigan must not be-
come narrow about its forestry pol-
icy; but should train men for the na-
tion as well as the state. Michigan
herself presents a vast reforestation
problem, without a doubt, but the
larger end of national achievement and
conservation must not be lost sight of
The establishment of the school here
is an inspiring project. Reforestation
is one of the nation's greatest prob-
lems. Michigan should be prompt to
take advantage of the facilities offered
her by the realization of this dream.I
COOLIDGE AND WHEAT
The recent phenomenal rise in the
prices of wheat and corn due to heavy
rainfall in the wheat and corn belts
recalls the presidential situation in
1924. Robert M. LaFollette, the pro-
gressive candidate, had the votes of
the farmers very well cornered up to
the time of the news of the failure
of the Canadian wheat crop. This
caused a rise similar to that of this
year, though not as great, with theJ

The season opens on Monday, Jun
27, with George Kaufman's "Th
Butter and Egg Man," which has bee
released for stock production withi
the week. Elsie Herndon Kearn
who has been engaged by the man
agement as featured artist and inge
nue will play Fanny Lehman, th
producer's wife, and the lines of th
lig blonde mama have been com
bined into the part to pad it to a star's
requisition. Amy Loomis, the leading
lady of the company, will have th
Sylvia Field role of Jane Winton
and Robert Henderson director anm
juvenile lead, will play Peter Jones
the character made famous by Greg
ory Kelly.
Noel Coward's "Hay Fever" wil
open the first Saturday matinee as
the second(production. Miss Kearn
will have one of her best roles of th
season as Judith Bliss (played i
London by Marie Tempest and in New
York by Laura Hope Crews.) "Hay
Fever" is a smart and sophisticated
English farce which has been echoed
in later plays of Mr. Coward.
"Gammer Gurton's Needle," the first
English farce ever written will open
Thursday, July 7, to be followed by
five performances of George Kelley's
Pulitzer Prize Play, "Craig's Wife,"
opening July 11. Miss Kearns will
play the wife, the role which Chry-
stal Herne carried so successfully
both in New York and on the road.
Patterson McNutt's "Pigs" will open
July 16 for four performances. "Pigs"
is one of those terrible plays which
is perfectly impossible in script, and
on the stage is enormously success-
ful. It was well received in the spring
season-sufhiciently so to warrant the
revival.
Then.sixth production will be Ber-
nard Shaw's clever but infrequently
performed comedy of the elder gen-
eration, "Fanny's First Play." Miss
Kearns is cast in the role of Darling
Dora-who is the prototype of the
more famous Eliza Doolittle of "Pyg-
malion"-and Amy Loomis will play
the lead of Margaret Knox.
Dramatically the most ambitious
bill of the season will be Ibsen's
"Iledda Gabbler," which with "Ghosts"
and "The Wild Duck" is considered
his best play for the theatre. Ibsen
has been little done on the campus-
not at all in the last three years ex-
cept for Mrs. Fiske's seasonal invasion
n "Ghosts,'4 and only rarely before.
Next season, however, Mimes in the
ncreased facility of their theatre will
)robably do "The Wild Duck." For the
Rockford Players, Miss Kearns will
lay Hedda, Amy Loomis the part of
MIrs. Elvsted, and Robert Wetzel Tes-
man, Hedda's husband.
The season will close with five
erformances of Shakespeare's, "The
omedy of Errors." The farce will
e presented in the Max Reinhardt
anner with a jazz orchestra and
ack Sennett make-ups. Miss Kearns
nd Amy Loomis will play Adriana
nd Luciana, while Robert Henderson
nd William Bishop will do the two
romios.
Probably the most consistent crit-
ism of Sarah Caswell Angell hall,
the inadequacy of stage facilities,
taking the productions for the most
art limited to a few flats and a cy-
lorama, which ineptly affords a view
f the fly, and which is an uncon-
incing background for the exterior
ets. This summer the entire stage
