Annable, Jr. voices--the anvil chorus of disap-; pointed aspirants andscircumspect candidates. The question bruited about is an old one, but at the same time it attracts more and more at- tention due to the great changes tAk- ing place in collegiate circles with each passing year. Institutions are becoming more diversified in their standards and requirements, and the problem of a faini selection on a scholarship basis becomes increasing- ly difficult. The sect which annually attracts the most attention is that which claims. that inevitably many of the candidates for the honor selected the easiest courses throughout their college ca- reer, sacrificing the means to the end in the most flagrant manner. Anyone acquainted with the conditions must know that this is possible, but recent studies indicate that it is highly im- prpbable. An investigation carried on by the Princetonian discloses that the greaten number of Phi Beta Kap- pas distinguish themselves in some other field while they are in college. Bringing this point closer home, those who are elected can usually be picked by their acquaintances and classmates before the actual choice, because ofj their extraordinary and persistent gaining of high grades in all of their subjects. It is all very well to say that acknowledged easy courses can be picked by students for the sole purpose of making Phi Beta Kappa, but it is indeed an expert at this a -t of indolence who can select four or five of these twice yearly without exhausting both his own ambition and the University catalog. I ASTED 110LLS ' WHAT '' A WE KNOW THERE should be no post-mortems over yesterday's edition of The Daily, but we can't help pass- ing a few remarks. * * * IN THE FIRST place the world must know that the managing editor bunned his fingers when he tried to pick up a hot slug (line 'o type) and also dropped a galley of type. Out- side of that he didn't do a thing. THE STAFF EDITOR, who is al- ways trying to teach the freshmen tryouts how to become good Daily men, read proof and if there are any mistakes they are all his fault. Any- way, chalk the first hundred up to his account. THEATER BOOKS music "GAY PAREE" Don McIntyre has announced a sin- gle performance of "Gay Paree" for the Whitney theater this Sunday night at 8:15 o'clock. The company will come direct from a two weeks run at the Shubert Detroit theater, and will be brought toAnn Arbor intact. Chic Sales is still chief cutup, and is in a way to make the Ida Tabell sketch "He Knew Lincoln," quite famous. Sophie Tucker has left the cast some time since, but Rita Gould, Frank Gaby, Ruth Lockwood, Douglass Leav- itt, and Alice Boulden are still active in the song and dance that accom- panies him. * * * THE STUDENTS' RECITAL A review, by R. Leslie Askren The general'impression. left by a recital at the School of Music is one usually of a series of very nice and melodious notes strung together mere- ly because they were so written in the book. If it had not been for Vir- ginia Tice's recital I should have thought there was a cult there, wor- sniping the well-struck note. As it EVERYTHING WAS GETTING along fine until about 11:30 p. m. when the City Editor happened into the officei to see what was going on. He was put to work reading proof. He said he read it and found a lot of mistakes but he didn't know how to rectify them so he had to leave l them alone. i i ASIDE FROM ALL that the was a great success and the- came out despite the senior, staff. affair was, the young lady cleared the fair paper name of the School of Music of any night such implication by working her way through an extremely difficult. pro- What s ays .

It is curious to note how, as the American educational system adds age to its enthusiasm, the most advancedt theories closely approach the system in use in the ancient colleges of Eng- land. The tutorial system itself,< though it represents an undeniable forward step in the system of profes-t sional education here, is almost as old as education itself in the country from which it emanates. The'e are marks of distinction, nev- ertheless, which mark the plan as in- stigated here as distinct from its old world ancestors. In the first place the student will do his class-room work as before, and only when he desires to coordinate the work of dif- ferent courses will he interview his instructor or tutor. The plan here, moreover, will be definitely linked with4 the apparent desire for personal con- tact between students and instruc- tors which has seized the Medical1 School administration-contact which i is only possible, of course, in a pro- fessional school of comparatively small size.s All in all the recent changes in the. Medical School administration, takenI together, constitute what is probably! one of the most advanced programs adopted by any school or college of the University campus in recent years. It means that students will have ad- vanced from thein, old basis of me- coanical absorbers for academic! knowledge to professional associates of the men whose experience and7 knowledge entitles them to teach.
