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. I //I/I TEAW W. ) iNT 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. _ __ E -- I~ ilttl tl1 11Illglllll i11tIIIII il11[1 il III ll I illlfiill III nI fil I II A Music D Drama -_ ~ESUGGESTIONS FOR THE SUMMER PLAY It is fairly exceptional that a con- - servative old state owned University,=. should unbend to admit the unlicensed r impudence of a dramatic season in the Summer Session.

THOMAS McKEA 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 MEMORIAL DAY Next year, Coach Fisher had better Tomorrow the annual observance of gdetin touch with the public speaking the death of the country's war heroes dlepa'tneiit, if lie wants to win the will take place.

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.
