COLLEGE EXPERIMENTATION
Experimentation in colleges is
one of the foremost reasons for the
rapid advance in education. Uni-
versities are often the boiling pots
for scientific research with faculty
members attaining gratifying re-
sults from their untiring efforts.
The same goes for other lines of
endeavor demanding research and
,study.
This era of experimentation has
continued recently into the field of
teaching. Administrators are be-
coming aware that they must rely;
on student initiative, self-depend-
ence and its expression, participa-
tion, and cooperation. Those who
expect to advance as faculty mem-
bers realize that they must give the
student something worth while
They see the danger of becoming
too pedantic, and the necessity for
developing personalities capable of
inspiring youth to attain definite
ends. The tradition that faculty
men must know their subjects thor-
oughly is realized now not to be
enough. It is the teaching that
really counts.
In the last analysis the colleges
are maintained for the students,
and are not institutions set up to
furnish adequate incomes for in-
dividuals to pursue personal re-
search. Evidence that the colleges
are awakening to this is shown by
the fact that many institutionsj
throughout the country are assign-
ing their most experienced teach-
iers to freshmen, and at the same
time are attempting to create uni-
form good teaching in all depart-
ments.
Teaching processes in many
instances are undergoing experi-
mental changes although they are
not being abandoned except in rarej
instances. However the lecture, re-
citation, quiz, laboratory, library.
and examination are being consid-
ered with greater discrimination.
and with more regard for their
relation to one another.
Changes and experimentation are
'the natural results of the advance

"AS A GENTLEMAN"
(From Yale Daily News)
The decision of the present Inter-
fraternity Council to cover nextj
year's "rushing" activities with1
their protective wing meets with
the approval of those who have
had occasion to know the inade-
quacies of the present system. A
committee of Seniors, removed
from actual contact with calling
)groups, will prove much more un-
biased in the regulation of an
,nstitution which has been far
more abused than any other in
the College. Their interests, no
longer intrenched in their frater-
nity life, will heighten their appre-
ciation of justice and will, it is
hoped, do much to alleviate a situ-
ation in need of drastic reform.
Further investigation of the
Council to reorganize or discard
room to room calling will prove a
welcome relief to the formerly
harassed and breathless group of
Juniors to whom "rushing week"
has meant an endless grind, more
strenuous than a football game.
The substitution of the method
used in the Sheffield Scientific
School recommends itself as/worthy
of careful perusal. Insofar as it
puts Sophomores in a disadvan-
tageous position, it treats all equally
"from scratch"; no one person will
be placed under any greater handi-
cap than another. Conversation too
can be more easily diverted in a
group to more enlightening sub-
jects than rugs or pictures. The
candidate in his turn will have an
opportunity of watching the beast
in his native habitat.
But in the final analysis too opti-
mistic a view of the proposed
change is not wholly tenable.
Under whatever scheme is adopted
the entire success or failure must
inevitably rest upon the honor and
integrity of the officers of the law,
as well as the citizens of it. Evi-
dently to guard against infractions
of the sections of pledge, the
Council has repeated with ironical
emphasis at the beginning of every
paragraph its avowal "as a gentle-
man" to enforce the regulations. If
history should repeat itself, these
Additional declarations will be of
little value. But in this next year
t is most earnestly desired that a
pew undergraduate mores, stamp-
ing its disaproval on breaking one's
word, will be evolved. Certainly the
committee of sixteen is composed
of the most sincere men of the
college.
I-
Campus Opinion
Contributors are asked to be brief,
confining themsel es to less that. Soo
words if possible. Anonymous com-
munications will be disregarded. The
names of communicants will, however,
be regarded as confidential, upon re-
quest. Letters published should not be
construed as expressing the editorial
opinion of The Daily.
ro the Editor:
The communication of a corre-
,pondent to The Daily concerning
he purpose of Religious Emphasis
;eek prompts us as students inter-
asted in it to state what our pur-
>ose was in participating in the
veek's activities.
The movement was definitely not
one planned expressly for the
hanging of the "'modern' sense of
piritual security from one of ma-
:erial satisfaction to one of abstract
soul serenity," although to have
lone so would have been a laudable
ichievement. In no sense was it
in effort to force "a superficial
,,piritual striving into the souls
)f money - and - pleasure seeking,
youth." We were not interested in
iorcing anything upon anybody. We
were interested in providing for
>urselves and for others who were
willing to aVail themselves of the
ypportunity a chance to give con-
ideration to some of the values
which we consider to be most
worthwhile.'
In the ordinary run of things,
the place given to organized reli-
Pon on the Michigan campus is
small. It has tended to become
more or less disregarded or pigeon-
zoled in the minds of many stu-
dents owing to the press of affairs
in campus life. The week's activi-
ties were intended to stress those
very things which have been ne-
;lected or minimized.
The author of the "Campus Opin-
ion" was more precise in defining
our purpose than we were; it is
,.eally unforunate that he was not
on one of the committees, since he
knew so well what was expected to
CONTRIBUTORS
EMPHASIS WEEK
IS OVER
In as much as there aren't any
contributors today, hoc ergo propter
hoc there aren't any more contrilu-
tors emphases.
Word has reached this col-
umn that the INTERFRATEIt-
NITY COUNCIL has changed
its constitution. This is a news
item of transcendent import-
ance because it serves at once
to inform the general public
that: 1. There is such a thing
as an Interfraternity Council;
2. That someone has thought
it worthwhile to make out a
constitution for it; and 3. That
someone took enough notice of
the one they had to think that
it should be changed. All of
these facts astound me beyond
measure.
* * *
Perhaps this new constitution
stuff for the Interfrat Counsellors
is merely an attempt to compete
on even grounds with the Student
Council (R. I. P.) for the Campus
Nonentity Championship. This, we
think, is unfair. The Student Coun-
cil got where they are without any
fixing of the rules, and there is no
reason why the Interfrat shouldn't
do the same thing and overcome
the obstacles in their path like lit-
tle men.
And speaking of outstanding
figures in our midst, has any-
one heard of any of the class
officers we elected (i. e. voted
against) this fall? No, I thought
not. The conclusion I am forced
to arrive at is that they-are
so busy working for Michigan
and Their Class that they never
get a chance to appear in pub-
lic. You don't have to reach
that conclusion if you don't
want to.

BEN GREET AND COMPANY
What promises to be the most
pleasant week-end of drama is the
scheduled appearance of Sir Philip
Ben Greet and Players at the Men-
delssoun Theatre Friday night,
Saturday afternoon and evening.
The productions given will be "As
You Like It," "Twelfth Night" and
'"Macheth."
Of the rapidly diminishing group
of itinerant purveyors of Shake-
speare, Greet has over a long per-
iod of time maintained the highest
degree of excellence. He is a noted
scholar on Elizabethan producing
style and his position in England isI
as unofficial adviser to anyone at-
tempting a Shakespearean produc -
tion. America, particularly the
American colleges which are his
main stopping-places, has long been
(rateful for his "trouper's blood"-
which has kept him traveling with
Shakesperean Repertory even after
being knighted by King George,
which he might well have construed
as justifying more leisure if he
I wished it. His company has been
I)artic ularly noted for an authentic
delivery of lines-an aspect of
Shakesperean production which he
thinks rather more important than
any other.
Play Production, this year as last,
is sponsoring his Ann Arbor ap-
pearances and advance orders for
the three productions are now being
taken at the box-office of the
Laboratory Theatre.
BORIS GODUNOF
Undoubtedly the most difficult
artistic assignment in the whole'
May Festival, it has been announc-
ed, will go to one of the local School
of Music's most distinguished grad-
uates. Chase Baromeo, now of the
Chicago Civic Opera Company, has
been selected for the title role in
the production of Moussorgsky's
"Boris Godunof" which will crown
'le Festival Saturday night.
Herbert M. Johnson, director gen-
eral of the Chicago Civic Opera,
suggested Baromeo for the difficult
role, which bears the weighty im-
:ress of Chaliapin's great singing
and great acting. Mr. Baromeo,
after leaving Ann Arbor, continued
his musical career at the La Scala
1 opera house in Italy, where for
several years he was leading basso.
Later he appeared at the Theatre
Colon in Buenos Aires and three
years ago he was engaged by the
Chicago Civic Opera.

And all this time nothing is being
lone about Newberry Auditorium.
Perhaps it would be a good idea to
,ake up a collection and get a sink-
!ng fund for it. It would have to be
i pretty big one though. I wouldn't
vant to see any halfway measures
'n this case, and would insist that
f it is to be done at all the place
)e sunk plenty deep.
And the Rolls diploina for
this week foes to the gent who
originated the idea of taking
something out of Newb. Aud.
every time he had a class there.
They tell me that he intends
to take it all home piece by
piece and set it up in his back-
yard for the pigs. I call that
downright mean.
Up to date he has taken out a
large number of spare parts such
is arms off of seats, etc., and it is
rumored that the cornerstone is
going next.
At that he'll have to hurry.
That place is coming down so
fast that pretty soon he won't
be able to find the cornerstone
-or even the corner.

It all goes to show you can't ever
tell, I mean this business of hell-
week among the sororities. I am
sure most of you must have noticed
the sudden influx of humanity into
the numbers of female students.
This is attributable to the fact that
some of them are forced by their
sorores in non compos mentis to
go without the usual cosmetic dis-
guise. I must confess that in most
eases I shall be the first to welcome
the replacement of the veil over
most of what I have seen.

But to get back to Alice and her

ingly wet plot, and all that remains
are some smouldering embers of
entertainment. (Easy there, type-

Anyway, "The Naughty Flirt" con-
cerns the romantic adventures of
a determined man-chaser (aren't
they all-tsk, tsk!) who gets bru-
tally spanked by the bright young
attorney who works in her old
man's law office. There's a ride in
a patrol wagon (ye're pinched for
disorderly conduct) and some con-
ventional country club dance views.
