in view of these rather obvious progressions. In-
directly, proficiency examinations should reduce the
size of classes in elementary courses in English, for-
eign languages, hygiene, mathematics, the natural
sciences, and the social sciences. Students then can
proceed to the studies which interest them most
without wasting time along the way. Improvements
in the instructional staff can be more easily accom-
plished, and the tendency should be more and more
toward higher class teachers for compulsory classes.
EDUCATIONAL RESORTS
(The Daily Illini)
From all quarters of the country come posters,
bills, pamphlets, and folders advertising the hottest
and the coldest campuses in language which would
do the Elyssian fields justice. One gathers the im-
pression that summer school is little more than idling
in a shady nook, paddling in cool waters, or haunting
the best golf course in the Middle West. One is led
to believe that the visiting professors are decidedly
superior to the ones who inhabit the campus and
environs the year around. One is tempted by study
in close proximity to the Olympic games. One is
asked to postpone the triumphal entrance into world
affairs for another quarter of education. One is
offered the argument of summer school as a place of
solitude and contemplation. Universities seem to be
edging over into the province of the summer resort in
the name of education.

E. E. Cummings, the recondite bard who recently
completed a trip to the U.S.S.R., has written a poem1
about the "pink Tartskids" who played the castanets.
At the Mimes theatre yesterday there were no cast-
anets. There was tea.
Miss Collinge, playing precisely with Hobert Hen-
derson in the Christmas eve scene from Arthur
Schnitzler's "A Present for Anatole" saved the day
from all good intentions.
There was much talk of Art.
* * *
The tea was arranged by Play Production in Honor;
of the Players of Mr. Henderson's dramatic festival
company.
Program: in the interest of students "definitely'
interested in the theatre" and others, closer contact
is to be fostered between those who are alreadyi
artists or those who are very much inspired by artists
and those who hope to be artists or who hope to bet
very much inspired by artists.
Everyone did their best.
One may question the values to be realized when
Boswell meets Rousseau and talks about art. Espe-
cially to art.j
One of the singular and valuable aspects of the
theatre is its ability to be the most perfect setting
for singlar and valuable personalities. What Patricia
Collinge, carrying with her the charm of the theatre,
did to that atmosphere and that audience was to be
wondered at.
ALDRED SCOTT WARTHIN
THE PHYSICIAN OF THE DANCE

Reviewed by Herbert S. Ratner
Coincident with the appearance
of his last published work, The
Physician and the Dance of Death,
death came to Aldred Scott War-
thin of our Medical School on May'
23rd of last year. This volume is
a historical study of the eyolution
of the Dance of Death mythus in
art and, more than any other single
piece of work in his large output,
it suggests his amazingly wide in-
terests and his broad cultural back-
ground. The zest and the love he

Fritz Whitesell, sophomore, had
a toothache about a week ago. It
was so severe (he had just had a
wisdom tooth removed) that he
rushed over the dental clinic for
relief. No one was there. It was

Health Service. No one was there,

Depression Hits
College Students
G COLLEGE students don't feel the depression.
They go to classes, to lectures, to concerts,
and hear only vague echoes of the economic chaos
of the outside world." So- said a 1931 graduate
the other day as he passed through Ann Arbor in
search of a job.
The accusation was perhaps sharpened by the
regret of the speaker that he was no longer shel-
tered in his last year's haven. It is true, never-
theless, to a certain extent, that students on the
campus have been only vaguely aware of the
turmoil outside.
But no longer. President Hoover- and the
Senate have passed the tax bill, and the only for-
tunates that escape it are the poorhouse occupants.
Romance both on the campus and off is going
to suffer a serious setback. All admissions over
40 cents will be taxed 10 per cent, thus bringing
the price of a movie date up to a dollar and ten
cents, not counting the chocolate malted afterward
on which a two per cent tax has been declared. The
sweetheart back home will have to get along with
two letters a week instead of three in order to
compensate for the rise in letter postage from two
to three cents.
Telephone calls will be nicked from ten to 20
cents. Fortunately, the rate to Detroit will not
be affected, for calls less than 50 cents will not
be taxed. Foreign students will pay an extra dime
on every cablegram they send back to the home
country, and five per cent more goes on every
telegram.
Co-eds will have to resort to the W.A.A. for a
schoolgirl complexion since cosmetics are going
up ten per cent right along with jewelry, furs, fire
arms and other instruments of warfare.
But we're not the kind to kick. The govern-
ment has to get $280,000,000 somewhere and if
they can get it by charging us 5.1 cents a package
for chewing gum instead of 5 cents, we're glad
to help.

to the problem of death and old

with critical eloquence in his Old

In his Creed, he says: "Finding
