SMITH, JR. UNIVERSITY COLLEGE What started a year ago as a mere idea is now definitely in the process of germination; and where nothing had been accomplished a year ago there is now a general plan which re- quires only specific elaboration to be, put into effect. This, in brief, is the history of the University college move- nment, a plan which would place all entering freshmen on an even basis, and eliminate at the end of two years all those unfit to pursue professional training. With the announcement this week of the appointment of a faculty com- mittee for the consideration of details of the University college, and the intention to place the matter before the Regents in time for action next fall, the whole scheme begins to as- sume definite shape. Thus far it has been considered and approved by a committee including the deans of the various schools and colleges, then it was approved in principle by the Uni- versity Senate, and now, on recom- mendation of the Senate, a faculty committee of 0 has been appointed to consider the curyicula to be offered, the choice of the faculty, and the pro- motion of students in the new col- lege. When this committee -has acted there will remain nothing more in the way of the project except the con- siderat ion of the Regents, and it is quite possible that this will be com- pletl in time to open the doors of the new school next fall. The significance of this new plan in the field of education is tremendous inleed,. Nothing so revolutionary on such a large scale, has ever been at- tempted , by any university in the c(ountry before. It means, in effect, the entire alteration of the present conception of an American university, and involves the adoption of a new sandard by which to mold our col- lege men and women. It would, in the first place ,pht all freshmen in the University college' upon entering. There they will be per- sonally noted by their instructors; will have the opportunity for investi- - -11- 4, it a powerful instrument in the educa- tion and culturization of the American public. A BATTLE OF WORDS "The denunciation of war is a pleas- ant but ine'ffectual way of spending one's time," was the statement of Pro-} fessor Slosson of the history depart- ment in his recent speech on the pros- pects for peace in the world. Outlin- ing the attitude of the world with re- gard to peace and the prevention of war, Professor Slosson advocated im- mediate steps toward some machinery which would actually function in the prevention of war, and named the world state as seeming to offer the most logical settlement of the situa- tion. This speech contains, in effect, the very essence of the thoughts and re- actions of many of the informed and thinking people of the world today. It recognizes that steps toward peace are, at the present time necessary; but at the same time it acknowledges that the end in view-a world state or league with international policing--is somewhat idealistic. To cross the gap between these two ideas, the im- mediate and the future good, some action is advocated which will deter- mine 4 present-day logical substitute and preparation for the end which is inevitable in acivilized and cultured world. Just as the order of the world has only been achieved by steps in control and regulation, so has peace been maintained. In the beginning the groups to which any idividual owed his support and his allegiance were essentially very small. Then came the city, the state, and finally the nation. Now to tie the nations together and to .stimulate in individuals an interna- tionally-minded spirit, seems only the logical step. From this international mindedness will come peace and un- derstanding. But some steps must be taken be- sides mere talk. Such organizations as the league to prevent war ,and other similar groups are doing nothing but urge people to take a stand against war. The mere taking of this stand will never prevent war. What we must have is some basis for an understand- ing. The agency which takes upon itself to do this is the agency that willI effect world peace. But it must act? j and its own merits alone. STIUIENT LOAN FUNDS The University of Michigan may well be proud of the fact that at the present time it has no less than 76I different loan funds given by indivi- duals and organizations for the use of students who are financially un- able to continue their' college educa- tion without assistance. These funds, varying in size from $100 to $20,000, total nearly $137,000. They have been made available through the generosity of various persons in the state who believe in dducation and are willing to contribute that students, who might not otherwise be able, finish their 'col- lege education. In previous years, according to J. A. Bursley, dean of students, no dif- ficulty was encountered in meeting the demands of needy students for loans. This fall, however, calb-s for financial assistance have been so numerous that several have had to be denied and other students were grant- ed only a part of what they asked for. This is thought to be due largely to the difficulty many students had in find- ing work during the summer months. In view of the fact that the student loan fund maintained by the Univer- sity is rendering a real service, every effort to keep it in sufficient funds should be encouraged. In this respect, the munificient ad- dition of~ $23,000 to the fund from -Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Brosseau, which form- ed the nucleus of the Brosseau Foun- dation, is particularly to be commend- ed. The only restriction that the fund cannot be loaned for use of students of law, medicine or art is, however, illustrative of another point in con- nection with the loans for this fund. As Dlean Bursley has pointed out, the restrictions placed in the deeds of such gifts that they be used for specific purposes means very ofteni that the moiey cannot be used to the best advantage, which, in turn, is con- trary to what the donor desired. It is to be hoped, with the respect to the real good the funds are doing for needy students in the University, that in any future contributory sums, sucih restrictions will be omitted. Recognizing that the student loan funds do the students, the 'University and Qducation in the state of Mich- igan a real good, the donors are to be Rosa Ralsa ter how slight its value; her tones at either end of her register were easy, accurate, and full whether pianissimo:. or fortissimo. Mme. Raisa is mistress of the aria. She sings them with power, with dramatic color, and with feeling. She did not seem to hit quite the same height with her songs: I "Voron" by Dubleva and "Oh, Cease Thy Singing" by Rachmaninoff. She sang her encores in a somewhat ro- bust manner, "La Paloma" especially l did she give a mighty bounce. Mr. Lazzari's chief solo "Largo dally Factotum della Citta" from Ros- # sini's "Barber of Seville" was sung in a manner that gave proof of his high abilities. Lazzari's voice is powerful and -,.resonant, and he is capable of modulations that give it almost infinite shades. One of his en- gores, an Italian folk song, was sung in a lovely fashion and made us wish T that he could have sung more of them. The best number on the program was the duet "La Ci Darem La Mano" from Ponchielli's "Don Giovanni" was the last one. It was a lovely melodicf thing, full of grace and wit, which the singers did not fail to impart in their accomplished manner. * * * "ON APPROVAL" Tonight's performance of "OnI Approval" will conclude a run of eight performances, all well sold, and well received by the respective audi- ences. "On Approval" has not proved to be one of the most outstanding bills of Mimes' various and sundry activi- ies, but it was without question very well done. At times there was some difficulty in George, Twelfth Duke of Bristol's remembering his lines, and at times the action was a little slow. But Maria's shrewish nature was cleanly outlined by Jane Emory in a well defined portrait; Charles Living- stone's stage presence and techniqueI made Richard an interesting study of a rather typical Englishman; and Lorinda McAndrews did exceptionally well with Helen. In fact all three of the new-comers, Miss Emory, Mr. White and Miss McAndrews will all be seen in forthcoming productions. -E. M. M.! "THlE SERVANT IN THE HOUSE" I Mr. McIntyre is presenting "The Servant in the Iouse" by Charles Ilann Kennedv in the Whiitnev theater I P wamom i IVI I , ANDY S 0DAS ,I' t f Although Hallowe'en is commonly devoted to merry- iflaking in the united States as well as other countries, it 1s ineresting to note some of the old beliefs and customs of other lands. The vigil of All Hallows or festival of All Saints being November 1st, Hallowe'en is the evening of October 31st. It is associated in the popular imagination with the prevalence of supernatural influences and is clearly a relic of pagan times. In England it was formerly known as "Nutcrack Niglt" it being customary to crack nuts, duck for apples in a tub of water and perform other harmless fireside revelries. All of the things were survivals of the festival of "Romona" on November 1st. Still older than these customs were the 101- lowe'en Fires, survivals of Druidical ceremonies. In Roman Catholic countries it was their Decoration Day when they visited the cemeteries to lay flowers on the graves of relatives and friends. In Scotland the ceremonies of the eve were formerly re- garded in a highly superstitious light. The principal event of the evening was that of consulting the future to discover who should be the partner in life.
