WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-(P)-
More than a hundred years ago
there appeared in a Boston paper
a poem beginning:
"Ay, tear her tattered ensign
down." r
Written by a youngster just out
of Harvard, that bit of verse saved
the frigate Constitution, "Old Iron-
sides," from the ship wrecker's
hands.
A century later she still lifts to
the surge of the blue waters where
she made history, a glorious mem-
orial to herself and the long dead
brave who peopled her decks.
But that old, never-to-be-forgot-
ten verse did more than that.
It set intoAmerican history a
glowing page, all its own, for the
name Oliver Wendell Holmes. Poet
father and soldier-jurist son have
kept it bright in American hearts-
for more than ten decades.
They have kept faith with the
patriotism the father sang, that the
son wrote into the vital philosophy
of American law. They have made
a household word of the name they
bore.
Never His Like.
Now, his snowy head bent under
his years but his heart ageless, the
son has stepped off the bench of
the highest court that, for all its
great men, has never known just
his like.
Yet in severing his tie of active
service to the nation, to know a
little the honored retirement so
long a g o fully earned, Justice
Hol es displayed once more that
gall ntry of spirit that in father
and son alike has found responsive
echoes in American hearts.
He spoke in his letter of resigna-
tion of the "absorbing interests
that have filled my life.
"But the time has come and I
bow to the inevitable," the old
justice added...."My last w or d
should be one of grateful thanks.'
There is something about those
words that gives them emotional
thrill, that harks back to the poet
father.
They are of a piece with many
another touch of poetic conception
the son has found words to express
within the cold, factual require-
ments of judicial utterance.
Unwavering.
Justice Holmes is renowned for
the philosophy of law that guided
him, for the unwavering conception
of the true purpose and meaning
of democratic government under
law he never failed to voice.
That made him known as the
great dissenter, yet he\ always re-
jected that view of his place in
American jurisprudence. He felt
himself merely keeping faith with
the spirit and purpose in which the
nation was born.
And he ended his active career
with a gallant gesture. It was like
the greeting he invariably gave in
court to comrades or foemen in
old wars on the bench.
Finger tips rose to time-frosted
eyebrow in military salute as he
paassed, and a twinkling glance
added its own message.

DISCOURSE ON EXAMS
(Daily Northwestern)
eading an informal discussion group last Mon-
night, Dr. Holt, well-known educator and pro-
nt of the Rollins college plan, stated definitely
tand on compulsory memory examinations. Such
xamination is not in any sense a test of a stu-
's knowledge, he said. It merely tests his ability

aa that has been shoved down his throat by a
dly pedantic professor during the past month
eek.
he man with the most retentive memory is not
ssarily the man with the best understanding of
subject. Yet a person's success or failure in a
ect is frequently based on his showing in an
nination which requires the setting down, in
high praise from many western critics.
A graduate of the American Conservatory, Mr.
Poister has studied piano with Joseph Lhevinne,
organ with Wilhelm Middle-Schulte, and theory with
Leo Sowerby and Arthur Olaf Anderson. For two
years he studied organ, improvisation, 'omposition
and orchestration in Paris with Marcel Dupre, pro-
fessor d'Orgue au Conservatoire de Paris. He has
served as professor of organ at the University of Red-
lands, Redlands, California, since 1928.
Dr. Rudolph Seigel, distinguished German Con-
ductor will lead the Detroit Symphony Orchestra in
its second Ann Arbor appearance of the season, in
the Choral Union Series, on the evening of January
25, as guest conductor, taking the place of Ossip
Gabrilowitsch.
Dr. Seigel was born in Munich in 1878 of Bavarian
parents. He is a conductor and composer of note
having been a pupil of Thiel, Humperdinck and
Thille. From about 1900, he has been living in Berlin.
He was conductor of the Konigsberg Akademie or-
chestra from 1914-1917 and since 1919 has been the
