NO ONE PATTERN
Institutions Cannot Be
Mentally Exclusive,
He States.
By George A. Stauter
The University as an institu-
tion is "rapidly becoming the
brain of society" and, as such,
should never fail in adjusting and
directing the activities of society
through any "narrow conception
of its sphere =of usefulness." Pre-
sident Ruthven told members of
the University Press Club last
night.
Addressing more t h a n Zoo
Michigan editors at the Regents'
dinner of the club in the Union,
the President asserted that the
niodern university cannot become
intellectually exclusive.
"It serves the whole body, and
throughout life should guide it,"not
selfishly, nor for the good of any
part at the expense of another, but
for the sole purpose of securing
and insuring the welfare of so-
ciety."
'Super-University.'
President Ruthven took as the
title of his thesis the "super-uni-
versty," using the term, he ex-
plained, to direct attention to the
evolutionary processes now in these
institutions. The scope and func-
tions of these schools, he said, are
undergoing attempted redefinition.
In commenting on the nature of
the "super-university's" functions,
President Ruthven stated that, al-

sar of foreign affairs, lodged a pro-

itary activities in the vicinity of

Four Men Driving Cadillac Drop
Trophy at Tuomy Hills
Gas Station.
MAY NOT BE GENUINE
Yost Will Pass on Authenticity
Today; Car Thought to Be-
from Minnesota.
BULLETIN
Further examination of the
"little brown jug," practically
proved the authenticity of the
trophy. Phil Pack of the Ath-
letic association after a minute
examination of the jug and a
comparison with old photo-
graphs, early this morning stat-
ed that he was becoming more
and more convinced that the
jug was the original.
Apparently frightened by the:
knowledge that their secret posses-
sion of the coveted little brown jug
had leaked out, the organization or
individuals behind the theft of the
jug three weeks ago ridded them-
selves of the fateful Minnesota-
Michigan trophy last night by
dropping it from a car near the
Tuomy Hills gas station at the east
edge of town.
Four men in a large Cadillac
touring car pulled up at the side of
Washtenaw road at about 7:15
o'clock last night and rolled the old
brown water jug out on the ground
at the point where the Jacksi
cut-off leaves Washtenaw r o a d.
K. D. Smith of Ann Arbor, the at-
tendant at the station, believing
the car was seeking directions, came
out of his station just in -time to
see the bi'g touring car pull rapidly
away down the cut-off.
Four Leave Jug.
The four individuals all had hats
pulled down over their eyes and
the licenses of the machine were
.daubed with mud to prevent recog-
nition, according to Smith's testi-
mony. Because of this he was un-
able to identify either the car or
its occupants. However, it is strong-
ly suspected by many that the li-
censes were from Minnesota as
Smith stated that he was sure the
plates were narrower than those of
this state.
Absolute certainly as to the au-
thenticity of the jug has not as yet
been determined. Phil Pack, of the
Athletic association, stated that he
was not at all convinced that the
jug found is the original. Judgment
must be reserved until a more com-
plete examination can be made, he
said.
Stolen in 1903.

jug, Pack stated.

for following the controversies of
educators and laymen.
Universities proiaily never will
conform to a single pattern, he
said. "Many of the differences in
policies and practice depend just
now upon the point of view adopted
upon the importance and place of
extra-mural actiyities, including
extension work, adult education,
and service. No study of universi-
ties can provide dependable results
which' ignores the resources of the
plants."
Embraces All Fields.
He deplored as "futile" the at-
tempts' to prove that universities
should exist for "the sole purpose
of training scholars or of providing
a cultural background for others."
In reply to the criticism that uni-
versities should not offer vocational
training in every necessary field of
endeavor, President Ruthven said
this was "impracticable."
"One may be excused for smiling
at the inclusion of dress-making
and canoeing in a university curri-
culum, but logically he cannot ob-
ject to departments of forestry,
pharmacy, journalism, and busi-
ness administration and at the
same time admit the traditional
schools of law and medicine. Sub-
jects of instruction proper to the
unversity are those which provide
a strict and regular mental and
moral training comprehending the
communication ofknowledge, the
cultivation of manners, and the'
regulation of practice."
Commenting on another of the
"super-university's" functions, in-
tra-mural and extra-mural instruc-
tion, the President said that by

PUZZLED PROM COMMITTEE DECIDES
TO LET EVERYBODY VOTE FOR MUSIC
The Soph Prom committee is
having quite a time with its music
for the dance, not that the music
has been selected yet, but that's
just the trouble.
The.-committee believes in giving
the public what it wants, or so one
is led to believe by the innovation
of an entirely new scheme for the
selection of a band for the event.
The idea, germinating in the
mind of some sophomore commit-
teeman, and rapidly finding favor
with other members of the group,
was to pick out four orchestras and
let everyone who contemplates at-
tending the dance vote for his
ing of the original four was, that
directed by Mr. McKinney.
Incorporated in an advertisement
appearing in this issue of The Daily
is a ballot which may be used to
vote for the candidates, now listed
as Husk O'Hare, Fletcher Hender-
son, Del Delbridge, and the above-
mentioned Mr. McKinney.
Boxes for the straw vote are to be
located in the Engineering arch and
on the diagonal in front of the
library, and will be open to voters
between the hours of nine and
three o'clock today.
Undoubtedly the system is a very
nice one, but the suggestion might
"In the Greek philosophy, the
universe loved God but in the
Christian philosophy God loves the
Universe."
That is the essential difference
between the ideas of Plato and
Aristotle and those of the Christ-
ian philosophers, acgording to Dr.
Etienne Gilson, professor of phil-
osophy at the University of Paris.
Dr. Gilson gave the second of a
series of three lectures on "The
Influence of Christianity on the
Philosophical Idea of God," yester-
day afternoon at Lydia Mendel-
ssohn theatre. The topic-of the sec-
ond lecture was "The Christian
World."
"To Plato," Dr. Gilson said, "the
Universe was but an image of the
ideal world. Things that deserve
the name, of being have neither
past, present or future. The sen-
sible world does not deserve the
name of being.-
"The philosophy of Aristotle is
