A DesirableS
New 'Tradition'. .i

his misplaced passion for self-improvement, his
naive delight in learning the obvious, his respect
for mental acquirements and or'namental accom-
plishments. M. Jourdain is a snob who would
rise above his appointed station, but not a bad
fellow. lie has- flashes of self-judgment and is
not without an occasional shrewd insight into his
own excesses. He certainly undervalues his more
solid qualities, his very real plain citizen's virtues,
in order to follow after vain things.
In the Thursday night revival of Le Bourgeois
Gentilhonmme, the title role was played by Harry
Skornia with a disarming naivete which suffi-
ciently compensated for the lack of a more fin-
ished acting technique. Edward Campbell as the
Count Dorante offered a performance distin-
guished both in tonal variety and in grasp of the
art of significant gesture. John Maulbetsch, as
Cleonte, was properly lyrical and impressing with
his agreeable voice and dignified presence. James
O'Neill, as Covielle, gave his usual competent in-
terpretation of a farce character part, a rendering
marked by considerable subtlety in voice and busi-
ness. Of the lesser male figures, Joseph La Cava
deserves most praise for his admirable diction and
for the dry humor he brought to the part of the
Master of Philosophy. Maurice Demers, as the
Fencing Master, was vigorous in word and deed.
John Schmidt, as the Music Master, is to be com-
mended for good diction, though as an actor his
individualization flickered. Harold Barnes gained
sufficiently in ease as the play advanced so that
one wished that all his performance had been on
the level of his better moments. John Seaman
was 'a' personable and 'adequate Master Tailor.
Alfred Koch, Robert Hawley and Riccardo Rami-
rez served acceptably in their unimportant roles.
More authentic costumes, i several cases, would
have improved the stage picture appreciably, and
in particular better wigs -for nearly all (A few' of
the Imen's wigs' were really 'too bad!) would have
aided in creating period atmosphere. Alas, these
things 'cost money and the men, even though
some of their "lights" were too much hidden under
thes'e "bushels," did create successfully the effect
of gayfarcical impr'ovisation; the effect inost to
be -desired, *ithut expensive accessories.
Ruth Karpinski carrikd off the female honors
as Mme.' Jourdain. She was an arresting and ag-i
gressive figure - at all times, and her variety of
votal inflection was as striking as her dominant
stage presence. Norma Cove, as Lucile, and Betty
Bergener, as 'the Marquise Dorimene, were both
distinctly decorative on the sta'ge 'and gave sym-
'iathetic interpretations of their well contrasted
roles. Edith Carlin, as Nicole, was more successful
in her amusing opening scene than in the later
Yornahti&' episodes' with Covielle. The women's
costumes were'picturesque and reasonably'sugges-I
tive of the period. 
The "comedie-ballet," a genre of which Moliere
cofiposed twelve' fo Louis. XIV's' royal'pleasure,
descends' directly from the "wallet de' cour" It re-
'mained for Moliere t& 'endow this mixed genre
with literary merit.' He makes M. Jourdain's folly
assume at moments k'ropartions of such absurdity
that the extravagance of "the interludes of song
and d'ance des not' seem too inappropriately
fantastic. The Turkish cerenony is one of the
gayest and most light-hearted products of Mo-1
liere's imagination. This Turkish-scene furnished'
the high point of last night's' performance, the1
most colorful stage picture and the most uproari-
ous fun. One must mention, while speaking of
the interludes, Professor Charles Philip Wag-
ner's pleasing arrangement of Lulli's music for
the overture, ballets, and songs, the performance'
of which he graciously directed. Charles Ruegnitz
sang one of these songs quite acceptably while
Helen VanLoon interpreted the other most charm-
ingly.

PROFESSORS' PRESUMPTION
IN COMMENDING SAMUEL SEABURY
"By authority of the State of Michigan, vested
in the Board of Regents and delegated by them
to me, I hereby confer upon you the degree of
Dcctor of Laws entitling you to all the honors
and privileges incident thereto." With these words
the President of our University magnanimously
presented Samuel Seabury with the scroll which
will forever constitute documentary proof of his
accomplishments and his contributions to society.
Of course no one in this enlightened age would
think of regarding Mr. Seabury's exposure of cor-
ruption in municipal government an adequate
tribute in itself-his accomplishments should have
official sanction by a University faculty, whose
principal contact with the affairs of the world
consists in harrowing youthful students through
four years of university life.
As opposed to the Daily's editorial opinion con-
cerning the students' behavior in leaving last Fri-
day morning's Convocation before the exercises
were completed, the student body as a ,whole de-
serves a great deal of commendation for good be-
havior. Undoubtedly great will power was exer-
cised in restraining the mirth which must cer-j
tainly have been provoked by the mock splendor
of the colorful pageant which the faculty pre-
sented, disguised as they were, in somber black
priests' robes which set off the brilliant greens,
reds, and golds to such good advantage and lent
an air of dignity to the wearer.
It will no doubt always be a great source of sat-
isfaction to those faculty members who were pres-
ent in full regalia and consented to be official
witnesses to Mr. Seabury's promotion. It was
highly commendable of this august body to admit
Mr. Seabury to the inner circle of the learned,
and to confer upon him "all the privileges and
honors which the faculty presumed to confer upon
Mr. Seabury, and which the latter so graciously
accepted. What significance could they possibly
have to a man whose accomplishment in the world
of actuality has become a criterion of achieve-
ment in public service? This contrasted with the
sham of the scholastic gesture impresses one
forcefully with the incongruity of the entire situa-
tion.
How much more fitting would it not have been
for this man of achievement to offer practical
suggestions and encouragement to a struggling
faculty, rather than to receive commendation
from them on the work which they may or may
not be competent to evaluate. What a legacy
these pedagogues would receive were Mr. Seabury
to instruct them in the ways of living and doing
in the outer world-the real world! To what
lengths might these scholars not go were their
erudite minds augmented with a modicum of
knowledge about those things which are actually
encountered by living. With these things accom-
plished under Mr. Seabury's competent tutelage,
the scholars, denuded of - dignified robes and
blazing colors, could rejoice in the simple but
deeply significant procedure of receiving com-
mendation, and perhaps some little token of 'ac-
complishment, from Mr. Seabury.
Perhaps our educational system will sometime
awaken to find that the pedestal upon which it
has placed itself has removed it from the bene-
ficial contact with life. And with its first rever-
sion to consciousness it will no doubt purge itself
of the wealth of fal-de-ral, tradition, and sham
with which it is now so gloriously surfeited.

T HE FAMILY BANQUET, an inno-;
vation which will replace the old;
Father and Son banquet, may be regarded as an
intelligent move to make of Spring Homecom-
ing a more enjoyable event to all. The new ban-
quet will effectively remove the old disunion which+
resulted from the separation of members of the
family at a time when it was most desirable that
they should be together. The Mother and Daugh-
ter Luncheon has, of course, been consolidated+
with the new banquet.
With the Family Banquet prominent, the gen-t
eral committee's ambition to make the 1933 Springa
Homecoming the forerunner of a "tradition ofy
traditions may be effectively realized, although
the business of "creating" a tradition is neces-
sarily hard. It must be remembered that Spring
Homecoming is one of the enlightened traditions
of this campus, and the criticism which may be+
levied against the saving of certain other "tradi-
tions" does not apply here. The Family Budget
and Homecoming are deserving of your support.
The banquet will vie for your favor with inter-.1
collegiate games, exhibits, building inspections,
Lantern Night and many other diversions, The
Homecoming period will also mark the figurative
trial by jury of Cap Night and the spring games.
These last two events, if a sufficient interest is
shown by homecomers and students, will be con-
tinued. If the continued lag in interest is pro-
nounced, they may be abandoned next year.
Spring Homecoming this May 12, 13 and 14 will
prove three most enjoyable days for you and your
parnts if you take full advantage of the program
offered. A "tradition of traditions" needs your
co-operation.

LE BOURGEOIS GENTILHOMME
-A REVIEW
The Cercle Francais, under the able and devoted
direction of Professor Rene Talamon, gave as its
annual production, Thursday night in the Mimes;
Theatre, 'before an audience of students and
others interested in drama, Moliere's amusing
"comedie-ballet," Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme.
The "premiere" performance of this well-known
play occurred on the fourteenth of October, 1670.
Posterity has endorsed the Sun King's gracious
verdict on the piece-"Truly you have written
Nothing that has amused me more, and your play
is excellent." The monarch had himself com-

Thursday night's successful performance was
sincerely and warmly appreciated by a capacity
audience.
