There is a part the alumni must take in the growth of the institu- tion and there is a part the state must support; and with the co- operation of these two powerful organizations, which is more evi- dent and encouraging now than ever before, the Michigan of the future will retain its place as a leader in education and alumni support. 0 Editorial Comment INDIVIDUALISM: A CHALLENGE. (From the Princetonian) In every age the cult of individ- ualism has its champions. Its motto is "Live and Let Live." Its protest is "I am not my brother's keeper." It rebukes conventional morality and claims for itself the virtue of tolerance. Of late, individualism has con- sidered the phenomenon of mass- production in college athletics and found it wanting. It has scored the tacit, regimental assumption that every able-bodied undergraduate must go out and die for old Siwash. We quote the following words from an address made this fall to the Harvard Freshmen by W. J. Bing- ham, director of Cambridge ath- letics: During the year we shall engage in 375 intercollegiate games. The prestige of the college does not de- pend on any of these contests. No one will accuse you of having "poor spirit" if you prefer to spend your Saturday afternoons in the library. No coach will urge you to play "for1 the glory of dear old Harvard." Individualism says frankly to the undergraduate: "There is no one good life. There is no absolute standard to which the good life shall conform. Because each of you is confronted by the duty of choos- ing his own means of self-realiza- tion, you shall not be criticized for the results of your choice. You may be athlete or aesthete. You are free as the winds of heaven." Clearly there is appeal in the doctrine of self-determination. It presupposes maturity and flatters the ego. In Mr. Bingham's statement, moreover, we see the development of a saner perspective toward ath- letics and an antidote to our heri- tage of the Golden Nineties. In- dividualism so applied undermines uncritical acquiescence in worn-out conceptions. Just as economic laissez-faire was needed to break the fetters of a static feudalism, so intellectual laissez-faire can help to counteract the herd-in- stinct. But neither can provide the framework of a complete philo- sophy. One of the implications of Mr. Bingham's declaration is disturb- ing. If "poor spirit" can be legislated out of existence, it is difficult to assign a positive meaning to its opposite. If there is no special rea- son for contributing to the life of a university (apart from meeting its scholastic requirements) there can be no especial merit in the effort to contribute. Yet in general men have agreed that team play and personal sacri- fice-whether on the athletic field or elsewhere - develop character and the fundamentals of good citizenship. In general men have been convinced that to sink one's pettiness in a common endeavor- for a college or a country-is to scale heights. Perhaps we wrongly diagnose the motives of the men who wear the Orange and Black of Old Nassau or the Crimson of John Harvard. But after the tumult and the shouting die away, after the worst of the Golden Nineties is discarded, after the false glamor of hero-worship is dispelled, there remains a core of something fairly fine in the impulse to athletic com- petition or the urge to non-ath- letic team play. We are not intimately acquainted with conditions at Harvard. We cannot even guess the relation of the House Plan to social and sport- ing laissez-faire. At Princeton, be- cause of its relatively small enroll- ment, its residential character, and its traditional unity, through-going individualism presents a threaten- ing challenge. The bureau of prohibition is tak- ing a straw vote to determine the attitude of newspapers on the dry question. Poetic justice or not, we hope it's the last straw.

If he will call around at the Michigan Daily office any after- noon, he will be rewarded in the promised fashion in addition to being put wise to some of the facts of life. * * * The thanks for the above award are due to Perry Scope, who was the observer, of the deed, and we should be glad if he could shed some light on the name of the frosh in ques- tion. * * * AMONGST THE CLASSIFIEDS. Wearing Apparel DRESSES-Two evenings dresses and two furnished heated. Low rent to one who will care for the furn- ace. Dear Dan: The above was clipped from the Classified Column of the City's leading evening paper. What, if anything, do you make .of it? Any information will be appreciated by Just a Freshman. * * * Dear Eva: My old pal, Dan, showed me your letter and I am hastening to answer your questions. No. 1: Yes, and maybe I'm not sore in spots. No. 2: Yes. Thanks for the com- plimentary remarks anent the suit. No. 3: Yes; but what do you mean by "poor material?" Buy this week's copy-15 cents (Advt.) No. 4: I've given that up, so no thanks. Sincerely yours, Joe Tinker. * * * Joe's masterly answer to your communication, Eva old Girl, leaves me only the task of say- ing yes to the last question, and no to the first but only, I hasten to add, because I don't know where your house is.

Come around sometime. * * In Private. * * * Answer to Regusted Frosh: I don't answer people who are 'regusted.' * * * Dear Dan: If you will look closely at the figurehead on the William Herbert Hobbs bookplate now being dis- played in an Arcade shop window, you will be vastly edified. I was. Feelingly yours, Godfrey. Dear Godfrey, I see what you mean, but what's queer about that? Merely an excellent likeness, I thought. Maybe I missed something. D.

Rolls isn't going to do any- thing about it at all. Wait until the last number gets to say 60c and I will start a campaign. * * Dear Dan: New game! Dash hurriedly up to the stupidest thing in sight wear- ing one of those grey monstrosities, camera in hand, and say, "Haven't I scened you some place before? Hastily, or hostilely I couldn't tell which, Wooly.

Gordon came to this country, im- mature, yet having won considera- ble recognition as a soloist. He con- tinued his studies in this country' under Franz Kneisel, the great pat- ron of chamber music in America. Kneisel at that time had just re- signed his post as concert-master of the Boston Symphony Orchestra for a more humble beginning-over- again as leader of the Kneisel Quar- tet. For over a quarter of a century, this organization was revered here and on the continent as a brilliant, studious ensemble. Quite alone the Kneisels stimulated the American interest in Chamber-Music: which crystallised in Mrs. E. S. Coolidge's chamber Festivals at the Music Temple in Pittsfield, Mass., and re- cently in the Library of Congress, recognized over the world as the! greatest musical events. Interestingly enough, Gordon's musical career has paralleled that of his teacher. His early-won emi- nence as a soloist won him the con- certmaster's chair in the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. During his years in this position he made slight, almost unnoticed, efforts to establish a chamber ensemble. The year 1927 saw the Gordon Quartet touring the large cities, playing, in connection with the Bee- thoven centennial, all sixteen Bee- thoven Quartets. That considerable feat, together with a well-received appearance at one of the Chamber Festivals in Pittsfield, meant the establishment of a reputation. As a consequence, at last year's local May Festival the announce- ment was made of Mr. Gordon's re- tirement as concertmaster of the Chicago Symphony. The Gordon Quartet is now an ensemble on its own rights: with a small communi- ty of its own at Canaan, Connecti- cut, in which to rehearse for its an- nual tours. The organization means to try to attain kneise eminence. DISHONORED LADY Katharine Cornell returns to De- troit next week at the Cass Theatre in a play called "Dishonored Lady" by Margaret Barnes who turned out Jane Cowl's "Jenny." Miss Cornell has never been very fastidious about her voles, being quite content to play the worst fiddle-faddle on a tragic'plane. Iris in The Green Hat, Leslie in "The Letter," and last year the Countess Olenska in "The Age of Innocence," have been her suc- cessive roles. So that wayward ladies seem to be quite in her line. The recent play seems to carry on that tradi- tion. "Dishonored Lady" is some- thing about the wages of sin. An ugly heredity turns out very dis- tressingly in the beautiful heroine. She finds herself compelled to tor- rid rendezvous with Jose Moreno, South American bounder and cab- aret singer. This in spite of the fact that she is very much in love with the young English Lord Farns- borough. Her desires alternate be- tween the voluptuous apartment of Jose and the aristocratic fireplace Farnsy promises her. She finds a solution in a crime; which means a court scene, etc. Yet one shouldn't worry too much about this pash and poison. The thing that will make the show very much worthwhile is Miss Cornell's acting. Being one of the three or four most talented actresses on the contemporary stage, she can en- kindle the most tawdry climaxes. She is glamorous. She desires a1 part; colors it very subtly. Hers is a } rare magnetic art: a contemporary echo of the Duse-Bernhardt appeal possibly. She always very neatly thrills an audience: even to the scornful playgoer who is simultane- ously sneering at the play. She can- not do this very many more years. But at present her appeal and in- terest is undeniable.

With the announcement in The Daily yesterday of the $10,000 gift to the University loan and endow- ment fund by the University of Mihia club of Battle Creek,; those in charge of the ten-year plan have realized another step in the program of one of the most successful campaigns in the history of American colleges and univers- ities. Since the campaign, which has brought $1,800,000 to the Uni- versity in the past three years, will continue until 1937 it is impossible as yet to estimate what will be realized from the generosity of the alumni organizations of the Uni- versity. The whole conception behind the ten-year program is to do for the University what the state can not do. "The funds available from the state legislature are adequate for a good university, but not for a great university" said T. Hawley Tapping, director of alumni rela- tions, yesterday in speaking of the program. The money available from the state is sufficient for the necessities, but when Mr. Tapping speaks of a "great university" he refers to the opportunities afforded by such buildings as the Clements library, the Law club, and the vari- ous women's dormitories. These buildings, he pointed out, were all made possible by alumni capital, and are proj ects that the state is not able to finance. Not only is the ten-year plan concerned with the building pro- gram, but it is doing its part towards retaining faculty members who would leave the University for more lucrative positions were it not for such funds as the $250,000 faculty salary endowment fund. This fund, which was created by the University of Michigan club of New York, has made it possible this year for the University to retain two of the most valuable professors in the University.
