-Rogers P. Davis, '16-'17, is one
of the few American artists to re-
ceive European recognition and to
establish a following in France. At
the time he entered Michigan his
interest in his chosen career was
only superficial, although he did
some work for the Gargoyle. In 1917
Ihe began the serious study of art
under John P. Wicker ofdDetroit.
Later he studied in New York and
Paris. In 1924 he gave his first one-
man exhibit at the Gallerie de
Marson. The same year he gave an
exhibition at the Hanna Galleries
in Detroit. H'e was then placed
under contract by the Jeune Pein-
ture Gallerie in Paris-an unusual
distinction and honor, In 1928 he
was warded the Walter Piper prize
in Detroit. At present he is doing
the backgrounds and settings for
a Paris underworld picture which
will be produced by the Fox Film
Corporation..
--Walter Robbins, '96e, began his
engineering career with the West-
ern Electric Company in Chicago.
In 1906 he joined the Wagner Elec-
tric and Manufacturing Company
of St. Louis, where he remained for
sixteen years. In 1923 he became
connected with Kissel, Kinnicutt &
Company, investment bankers of
New York, and is now a partner in
the firm. He is best known, however,
as past President and the present
Chairman of the Board of the Gen-
eral Cable Corporation-one of the
largest concerns of its kind in the
world.
-Clyde I. Webster, '99,-'O1L, by
serving continuously the longest of
any judge on the Wayne CircuitN
Bench has earned the title of "Dean
of the Bench," and is one of the
most popular judges in the state.
I-e entered the office of Don M.
Dickinson in Detroit when he re-
ceived his law degree and later
became associated with the firm of
Choate and Webster, which subse-
quently became the firm of Choate,
Webster, Robertson and Lehmann.
In 1912 President Taft appointed
him United States District Attorney
for the Eastern District of Michi-
gan, in which position he made an
enviable record. After a year of
private practice he was elected as
Judge of the Wayne County Circuit
Court in 1917 for a six-year term.

ty. He received an nA T. here in
1845 and an M.A. in 1863. He got
an M.D. from Western Reserve in
1848 and became a practitioner. He
spent most of his life on a beauti-
ful tract of land on the banks of
Woodard lake, Ionia county, where
he died in 1890.
While in the University he lived
in the northeast room of the sec-
ond floor of what is now Mason
hall.

"In England," he said, "I saw
poverty, distress, unrest. No one
knew what was coming. Conditions
were worse than in America, in a
different way. The English are
'thinkers', while we Americans are
content to follow leaders; the prob-
lems are thus coming home to the
Englsh more forcibiy. The possibili-
ty of a change from old conditions'
is distressing. Of course there has
since been a certain change as a
result of recent political develop-
ments."
Professor Courtis said that he
felt more at home in Scotland than
anywhere else. The people, he said,
resemble Americans more than do
other Europeans. As for conditions,
he averred, "I felt only the poverty
of it."
Leaving America in February,
Professor Courtis returned only this
month. He made about 4,000 tests
in each country he visited,.with a
view to comparing child develop-

Speaking of the endemic types of
fish found by the biological research
work, Dr. Woltereck pointed out
that sixty-two types _of endemic
fish had been found in the lakes
of the Lake Victoria-Nyanza and
White Nile district. Accordance to
conditions, Dr. foltereck said, was
the cause of 'these fish of the same
race to change materially in size
and shape. Lake Baikal in Siberia,
Tanganyika in Africa, Caspian be-
tween Europe and Asia and numer-
ons small lakes in the Phillipine
islands were particularly suited far
this type cf research. As an exam-
ple of this division of type among
endemic fishes, Dr. Woltereck told
of fish being transplanted front
northern to southern European
lakes fifty years ago andstated that
a large number of new types could
be found among these same fish,
even at this early time.
