W HEN Regent William L. Clements
retires from the governing board of
the University this year as a result of last Mon-
day's State election, the institution will lose the
active services of a man who has contributed ines-.
timably to the fostering of true University ideals.
Aside from his contributions toward the planning
of the mere physical plant of the University, his
foresight in detecting future intellectual needs
has been of most noteworthy character.
As a dominant member of the Committee of
Five which planned the design and arrangement
of the buildings erected on the campus during
the era of expansion of the first part of the last
decade, and as the Regent who supervised their
construction, the evidence of his work is apparent
on all sides. This, however, has been but a part of
his accomplishment for the University.
His gift of the library on South University Ave-
nue-the Wliliam L. Clements Library-indicates
a vision which is rare among the benefactors of
any university in the land. His gift of many thou-
sands of rare and now unprocurable books in
American history represents the surrender of the
personal possessions nearest ;his heart. The col-
lection was made up, and continues to be made
up, with consummate skill in the realm of both
the mind and the feeling. It is constantly con-
sulted by world experts and -has already taken its
place as one of the leading reasons for which our
University is so genuinely outstanding and de-
servedly famous.
Regent Clements will, of course, retain his po-
sition as the controlling voice on the governing
board of the Clements library. His discriminating
taste and scholarship are needed, and will con-
tinue to be needed, in expanding the library's col-
lections.
His loss to the rest of the University will be
severely felt by the University Library, he :having
for many years been chairman of the Regents
General Library Committee.
What he has done for -his University is now too
great a work to be affected by personal considera-
tions. Generations of Regents, presidents, facul-
ties, and bodies of students may come and go,
but the unique institution which he has placed in
Ann Arbor will endure.
Musical Events
WEDNESDAY NIGHT'S
VARSITY BAND CONCERT
on a concert tour. If it has not doge so before,
the band has proved in the last two concerts that
it is a concert organization of the highest caliber
and as such, we believe, would prove not only a
source of pride to Michigan groups in other cities,
but a distinct advertising medium for the Uni-
versity. In the high schools of this and other
states are numerous young musicians who could
easily be induced to come to Michigan to prepare
for a musical career if they only knew the ad-
vantages offered them here and the quality of
Michigan's musical organizations. If enough ofs
them come the University would be able to offer
scholarships for musicians and participants in
University musical events are not paid nor do they
even receive credit or any special dispensation.
The cr.ying need in the Varsity Band and the
University Symphony is for soloists-oboes, clar-
inets, trumpets, bassoons, flutes-who would stand
out above the others and still be able to work
in with the rest of the organizations. When the
Michigan Band has proved, as it has now, that
it is an even better concert organization than a
field unit-golden as is its reputation in that
line-it is high time that the University recognize
its value as an advertising medium.-W. S. W.
Town Points

The city franchise with the D.U.R. specified
.that no freight cars were to be run through the
city during the day. One night, five years ago, a
runaway car thundered down W. Huron Street!
and crashed into the Farmers' and Mechanics'
bank, demolishing the building.
Before the advent of the present bus system,
Ann Arbor had a city street car line which ran
from the Michigan Central depot, through the
main Street business section and up William
Street to the campus. At State Street, the line
divided, one section going up North University
and the other down State Street south. The
two sections met at the car barn located on Lin-
coln Avenue.

FRIDAY, APRIL 7, 1933C
Perry Discusses
Bill Number 10
Y ESTERDAY, we urged students and
parents of students who are resi-
dents of Michigan to write to their State Repre-
sentatives as soon as possible and urge them to
reject House Bill Number 10, which comes up for
a vote on April 11. As has been pointed out, the
passage of this measure, which would cut the
University's appropriation, would seriously cripple
this institution.
Bill Number 10 has received a great deal of un-
favorable publicity throughout the state. Stuart
H. Perry, writing in the Adrian Telegram, sums
up the effects of the bill as follows:
"In the whoopee years various absurdities were'
committed in the name of progress, uplift, public'
service and other fine sounding ideals. Now there'
is danger that absurdities may be committed in
the name of economy. We used to pooh-pooh;
economy. Later we began to admit that there
might be something to it after all. Then we all
began to practice it with a vengeance. And finally
it has been so deified by some politicians that
they seem willing to sacrifice anything upon its
altar, losing all sense of proportion and proper'
consideration of the future.+
"A glaring example is House Bill Number 10 at
Lansing which would wreck the University of
Michigan and the Michigan State College.
"It would have a similar effect on both insti-
tutions, but let us look first at the case of the
University because it is the larger and because it
would suffer the more severely of the two.
"Under the old mill tAx of six-tenths of a mill,
operative for many years, the University in 1931
would have received somewhat. more than five
million dollars, but the legislature limited its re-
ceipts to $4,920,000. In the special session of 19321
the limit was reduced to $4,182,000, the rest ofI
the mill tax being diverted to other purposes.
House Bill Number 10 would reduce the tax from
six-tenths of a mill to three-tenths with the pro-
viso that the University should not receive more
than TWO millions-a cut of more than fifty
per cent.
"And that is not all, because the bill contains
a joker in the form of another proviso that even
that reduced sum shall be turned over to the
University only "in the proportion" that other
state taxes are paid. That means that if 25 per
cent of taxes are delinquent the University will
get only $1,500,000; if only 50 per cent of the
taxes should be collected in the caming fiscal
year the University would have only one million
dollars-a cut of 75 per cent.l
"It is not too much to say that higher education
in Michigan is at a crisis. That crisis is especially
acute in the case of the University, be'cause there
is where the threatened cut would be greatest and
its effects most ruinous. To think of it merely as
a case where an institution wants a lot of money
is ver.y short-sighted. It is not the University's
affair but Michigan's, for its relations to the life
of the state are profound and vital.
"It is the apex of the state's educational sys-
tem.
"It is the only institution furnishing higher
education in all forms and to the fullest extent.
"It establishes standards for all high schools

REPLY TO MR. H. J. KHALAF
To The Editor:
Mr. Khalaf's article in The Daily for Tuesday,
April 4, is a fine estimate of the Spring Parley,
but his major criticism has no validity nor ap-
plication to the discussion. I would suggest that
Mr. Khalaf take Economics 197, the first semes-
ter of next year. In this course about 12 weeks
of the semester are devoted to various forms of
socialistic and communistic theories. Also, if Mr.

The Vice in the Old Village Choir.
After our enthusiasm over the first 1933 con-
cert of the Varsity Band, given several weeks ago,
to say that Wednesday night's concert was even
better might seem extravagant, but .-it is no more
than a plain statement of fact. ,The band per-
formed Wednesday night with a professional fin-
ish that far outshone the previous performance,
which, while brilliant, was spotty.
The concert, particularly as regards the com-
paratively unknown Borghi concerto, certainly
bore out the assertion of Professor Falcone and
his brother Leonard: that a military band can be
a. great concert organization and that it can be
made to perform concert music as brilliantly as
any stringed orchestra. The Borghi piano con-
certo was unquestionably the high spot of the
evening, and -the band accompaniment to Profes-
sor Brinkman's brilliant solo performance proved
beyond doubt that Leonard Falcone-the arranger
-knew what he was talking about when he said
that a military .band scan perform such light,
Mozart-like "chamber music" in as finished a
manner as any other aggregation. So well did the
concerto take with the already-enthusiastic audi-
ence that Professor Brinkman was forced to take
four bows and repeat the remarkable finale to the#
concerto. Professor Brinkman ;himself .was elated;
with the. results of the band-piano combination
and, we are told, expressed to Professor Falcone
the hope that it might be successfully repeated
another time. Certainly Ann Arbor music lovers
would regard such a repetition with pleasure.
Wednesday night the band was much more
under Professor Falcone's control than previously.
--whatever the causes-and it was with distinct
gratification that we heard the excellent modula-
tion and following of tempo in the concerto. This
was the first time that the Borghi opus had ever
been played indoors to a band accompaniment,
and there is little doubt but that its results were
highly gratifying to those interested in the experi-
ment.
Though it should be better known because of its
innate delicacy and grace, the concerto was ob-
viously new to Wednesday night's audience, and
undoubtedly most of the listeners were unaware
that at least two minutes;of the brilliant three-
minute cadenza on the piano were of Professor
Brinkman's own composition, based on the orig-
inal melody. That this addition to the original
work but heightened its effectiveness is a tribute
to Professor Brinkman's ingenuity.
Too many conductors begin their programs with
numbers that are merely "openers," but Professor
I Falcone has the good sense to make the first
number one of the important ones, and the per-
formance of the overture to "The Marriage of
Figaro" was definitely satisfactory. No profes-
sional aggregation could have done better with the
movement from the Unfinished Symphony, we
believe; and we are not alone in that belief, for
music authorities gave the band unstinted praise
for its polished performance of the great Schu-
bert work.
Debussy's "Claire de Lune," difficult for even a
light stringed unit because of its natural thinness
and grace, was excellent. There was not a trace
of "heaviness" or lagging in the entire rendition.
Khalaf has further interest, let him take Eco-
nomics 298. Philosophy 141 might harmonize well
with this program, should Mr. Khalaf be as inter-
ested in the subject as he says that he is.

TIE WORLD WAR
The following passage is by Colonel Picot, a
Frenchman: "In the frightful war all of us have
lost. We have been vanquished by hatred and by
the spirit of evil; and now it is to youth, and
especially to the youth of universities and schools
of the world, that we must turn for our vindica-
tion. May it work with us for Peace, and for
Peace through Peace." M. Levi
