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. /'MURC and IDRAM1A I 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 OF DEATH: By Aldred Scott War- thin; Paul B. Hoeber Inc.; New York, 1931. 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 is 8i. ln d,,P to - ,rd li,,-, n rl d lc., DIAGONAL Health Service Dope. Pansy Yost. Missing Chairs.

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. f C C 1 Playing without props, she read the part of the faa avua-. auaawaajU1irpcllal/ Oe11 U1U Plfortuayngitsohuteopssheadtheartffeti As Dr. Warthin put it: "In its var- it necessary to work on the radia- unfortunate sophisticate in Schnitzler's effective iant art forms this series represents tors herself.

In his Creed, he says: "Finding ourselves here, in a universe gov- erned by law, what are we to do about it?
