Night Editor-RICHARD L. TOBIN
WILLIAM WILSON COOK.
News of the death Wednesday of
W. W. Cook, '80, LLB., '83, has been
received on all sides at the Uni-
versity with sincere regret and a
genuine feeling of immense loss as
his passing. No doubt in recent
years he has been chiefly known
to the undergraduate body as one
of Michigan's greatest benefactors,
not only as founder and giver of
the Law club buildings and a wo-
men's dormitory, but also as the
donor of several funds for the con-
duct of research and the further-
ance of knowledge in legal fields.
While these remarkable benefac-
tions are in themselves a perpetual
tribute to Mr. Cook's dignified and
unostentatious good judgment and
taste and stand as testimonials to
his rare and true measure of the
man, cognizance must be taken of
his influence and place among the
country's lawyers. At the time of
his retirement from active prac-
tice his reputation in the field of
corporation law, both as an aca-
demician and a practitioner, was
excelled by few indeed.
This legal sagacity and acumen
in both pursuits of his field led not
only to professional and financial
success, but also produced in his
perspective a confident conviction,
almost pristine so seldom is it en-
countered in contemporary Ameri-
ca, that the nation's security, pros-
perity, and happiness depended
upon the fulfillment of the politi-
cal idealism advanced by the fore-
fathers. The breadth of his out-+
look and the firmness of his trust
in this economy are worthy the.

Editorial Comment
FACULTY LOSSES AT
THE UNIVERSITY.
(Grand Rapids Press)
University of Michigan men of
New York City are raising $250,000
for a faculty salary endowment
fund to pay additional compensa-
tion to faculty members who are
of distinguished ability in their
fields, win such men to the Michi-
gan teaching staff, and hold those
already serving. With the special
support of President Alexander
Ruthven and Regent Ralph Stone
the New York club already has
raised $75,000 toward its goal.
At present no single type of do-
nation is more seriously needed by
the University of Michigan than
precisely this kind of endowment.
To quote President Ruthven:
"Since Michigan is not prepared
to meet the new salary scales
(which in several major universi-
ties now average $4,500 above' the
pay at Michigan for full profes-
sors) it is not only losing good men
who are being attracted elsewhere,
but also, when for any reason there
are positions to fill at this level, it
must frequently accept the un-
proven or less valuable man."
As a rather striking and omin-
ous proof of the present situation
the New York alumni point out
that Michigan recently has lost
Dean Edmund E. Day of the school
of business administration to the
Laura Spellman Rockefeller foun-
dation, Professor Ulrich B. Phillips
to Yale university, Professor James
H. Hanford to Western Reserve to
fill a special professorship created
for him, and Professors William A
Frayer, Carl E. Badgley, Herbert
F. Goodrich and Robert Masson to
other institutions which paid bet-
ter. These men were highly distin-
guished in their profession. Their
names and abilities were part of
the prestige of the University of
Michigan-part of its drawing
power.
What makes the matter worse is
that death and retirement have
combined to increase the loss as
perhaps never before in the uni-
versity's history. In addition to
these resignations for the sake of
better opportunities elsewhere, Pro-
fessors Robert M. Wenley, Alexan-
der Ziwet, Charles H. Cooley, Claude
H. Van Tyne, Victor H. Lane and
Max Winkler-whose names were
known throughout the whole edu-
cational world-have died within
recent months and retirement has
closed the services of Professors
Horace Wilgus, Arthur G. Canfield
and Frederick M. Taylor.

A CHALLENGE TO KATHERINE
MAYO.
To the Editor:
At this time when India's crisis
brings her into the limelight, pro-
vokes more than ever discussions
of her virtues and her faults, I
cannot but express my apprecia-
tion to Miss Aley Kuriyan for the
article in The Daily of Thursday,
June 3, an appreciation of which
I am sure is felt by a number of
American girls and women.
Opinions and facts concerning
the status of Indian womanhood
have been given to us on this cam-
pus by European and American
men and women. From these ideas,
pro and con, we who have never
visited the Orient mustsortnand
pick the colors to make our pic-
ture. A knowledge of how the In-
dian women themselves feel about
this matter helps us a great deal
in putting them together.
Opinion by some to the contrary
has not been able to dispel from
our minds the notion that among
cultured classes a woman is re-
garded with respect, that a cultur-
ed woman commaids a place of
her own, whether she lives in the
East or in the West. Many of the
cultured women of our own coun-
try are quite unaware of the con-
ditions under which our own un-
cultured live for the reason that
they have never had any contact
with them and these conditions
close at hand do not offer the same
possibilities for sensational litera-
ture that those of the distant East
do. When I say "cultured," I refer
to no particular financial or social
class. I do not even mean "educat-
ed" in the narrow, popular sense
of the term. I mean that real cul-
fiir hnen' n" n _1 Anr " i _

Vacation is practically here!1
In fact, there remain only some
paltry examinations before liberty
will rest in the our grasp for a
few fleeting moments, and then
back to begin another term of sub-
jugation to the devices of the re-
gents and administration. Heheheh.
*#* *
Speaking of the devices of
the administration, I see that
the rules for deferred rushing
are being released today. Feel-
ing sure that the verbiage of
the faculty announcement may
need some clarifying, as what
faculty announcement does not,
I have interceded with the
Rolls Pherret to consult the
Verbiage Clarifying attach-
ment on the Rolls three-speed-
with-a-half-twist Prophesyer
to work out some system of
readily understood rules to aid
everyone in obeying the law as
I am sure they all intend to.
Don't you now, Fellows ... Ah,
I was sure you did.
The simplified rulings appears
below in the first understandable
edition of them to appear in any
paper, the Washtenaw Tribune not
excepted.!
Article I, sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
6a, and 7z.
* **
Inasmuch as we the admin-
istration of the University
think it foolish and unneces-
sary that the motto of "Free!
Institutions, Personal Liberty"#
be longer regarded as anything
more than an obsolete creed of
pre-prohibited education, we
hereby set forth the following
rules for the conduct of the
student body in the prosecu-
tion of their private matters
especially regards rushing.
Firstly, let it be understood
that these following rules are
devised to give as much trouble
as possible in the observance
thereof to the end that more
erring students may be appre-
hended, and that for these rea-
sons we stipulate that:-
No rushing activities may be
carried on with intent to pledge
to a fraternity inasmuch as we
have adjudged such institu-
tions harmful and degrading.
No student may talk to, look
at, or otherwise enviegle any
freshman until he shall have
graduated or otherwise shown
signs of having reached the
age of discretion that allows
us to make these rules.
No freshman may be ogled
upon a public highway, allowed
to eat any but the wholesome,
substantial cockroaches found
in Ann Arbor restaurants, nor
sleep with any but the Ann Ar-
bor landladies' bedbugs.
Rushing may be conducted
only between the hours of four
on odd Thursdays when the
weather shall be clement; af-
ter and not including Decem-
ber 25 at 5:15 o'clock.
And be it known to all by
these presents that we do here-
by affix our hand, foot, seal,
and trained elephant to the
aforementioned stipulations
and what's more we're proud
of it.

All the activity of the Players
!will be centered in the League
building, all the classrooms and
workshops connected with the the-
atre bein'g available for the stu-
dent work.
All these enlargements in staff
and facilities enable the Michigan
Repertory Players to attempt a
i definitelymore ambitious list of
plays., Last year because of the
difficulties of preparation and the
limitations of the talent available,
entertainment was made an end
in itself. Interested persons who
questioned the validity of this end,
whatever the circumstances, were
promptly punished, at least hum-
bled. This year there would seem
to be no danger of that. The list
of nine plays from which seven will
be chosen includes:
Holiday ............ .Philip Barry
Lillion ...........Ferenc Molnar
The Criminal Code, Martin Flavin
Ulysses ...........Stephen Philips-
; Beyond the Horizon
Eugene O'Neill
Dr. Knock .......... Jules Romains
A Marriage of Convenience
Sidney Grundy
Close Harmony ....... Elmer Rice
The Three Musketeers
Alexandre Dumas
The season will definitely open
J with Holiday, one of the most at-
tractive social comedies by Ameri-
ca's only really promising writer
of social comedies. For various rea-
sons, this play, one of the big suc-
cesses of a few seasons past, did
not go on the road. It has conse-
quently proved one of the most
popular of little theatre choices.
Special permission has been re-
ceived from the author, Martin
Flavin, for the production of The
Criminal Code. This is a success of
this season and was, until tle ap-

CONTRIBUTION.
Boy, what a help on a day like
this!
"Before leaving for his trip
abroad," says the Michigan
Daily, "he (Prof. Taylor) will
teach Algae at the Woods Hole
Biological Station." Isn't that
just too poetic! For instance:
Little Algae at the station
tion outside New York.
These two plays and O'Neill's Be-
yond the Horizon have been defi-
nitely decided on. And their choice
clearly predicts an important sum-
mer session for Michigan Drama-
tics.
EXCESS BAGGAGE.
The Dramatic Festival appro-
pri'ately plans something easy and
consolatory in entertainment for
the first week of examinations. Ex-
cess Baggage was one of the most
attractive of the plays that came
out of the recent tradition of stage
plays about stage-life. John Mac-
gowan's play offered something
quite original in this manner of
comedy, working as it did to the
electrifying slide-for-life climax
which will be done next week by
Togo, the original Acrobat who did
