Dates For Annual Affair
Set By School Of Music

SiX Concerts Named
Chicago Symphony Will
Be Featured In Forty-
First Festival
Tentative plans for the forty-first
annual May Festival, released recent-
ly at the executive offices of the
School of Music, name May 9, 10,
11, and 12 as dates for the 1934 pre-
sentation.
Six concerts will be provided: four
evening programs with matinees on
Friday and Saturday afternoon. The
series occurs earlier than in recent
years, beginning on Wednesday, May
9.
The opening program will probably
be an all-Beethoven program, one
part consisting of Beethoven's "Ninth
Symphony" which includes a quar-
tet of soloists, and during the other
section of the program, it is planned
to have an outstanding pianist per-
form one of the composer's piano-
forte concertos. The University of
Michigan Choral Union will partici-
pate in the "Ninth Symphony."
The Chicago Symphony Orches-
tra, under the direction of Dr. Fred-
erick Stock, will perform the Bee-
thoven symphony, and also all or-
chestral and instrumental parts of
the festival.
Thursday evening, Haydn's "Sea-
sons" will be sung by the Choral Un-
ion, and will comprise half of the
program. The remainder will be pro-
vided by a distinguished violinist,
who will perform with the orchestra.
As in former years, Friday after-
noon will be given over largely to a
program of selections by the Young
People's Chorus with orchestral and
solo numbers interspersed.
At the evening performance, fol-
lowing the tradition of many years,
an outstanding operatic star will be
the attraction, with suitable orches-
tral accompaniment and supplemen-
tary works.
A symphony program will be pre-
sented by Dr.'Stock and the orches-
tra, and in the evening the. Ameri-
can premiere of Heger's "Ein Fried-
enslied# will be performed by chorus,
orchestra and soloists. This work is
being specially translated from the
German by Dr. Earl V. Moore, musi-
cal director of the School of Music,
and special choral parts will be
printed.
Dr. Moore will conduct the choral
offerings, and Juva N. Higbee will
direct the Young People's Chorus.
Dr. Frederick Stock and Eric DeLa-
marter will preside over the Chicago
Symphony Orchestra in the miscel-
laneous programs and in the selec-
tions for vocal and instrumental ar-
tists.
Harvard Gets Jump
On Ancient Rivals
(By Intercollegiate Press)
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Dec. 11.-
Someone around Harvard pulled a
fast one on Yale and Princeton, an-
cient rivals of Harvard on the foot-
ball field, although Harvard and
Princeton for a few years past have
been out of sorts with each other.
At the Yale-Princeton game at New
Haven, alumni and students of the
two universities were busy cheering
their respective teams when an au-
togyro lazily chugged overhead with
a huge crimson banner trailing be-
hind.
The banner said: "Send your son
to Harvard."
Les C o o p e r, a Princeton man,
piloted the ship to a New Haven air-
port, then skipped.
"I'm getting paid for it," he said.
"I hope I don't get shot."

4s New Antise tic
Looms in Cleveland
(By Intercollegiate Press)
CLEVELAND, Dec. 11. - G e r m s
haven't yot a chance when dosed
with a new antiseptic development by
Dr. E. E. Ecker, associate professor
of immunology at Western Reserve
University, and his assistant, Dr. L.
A. Weed.
The new antiseptic is 1,202 times
stronger than carbolic acid, and yet
has no detrimental effects on human
tissues and is non-poisonous.
Experiments have been carried on+
at Western Reserve and checked for
accuracy at other institutions in the
United States and in Europe in the
last five years and still all the possi-
bilities of the new medicine have not
been explored.
Medical men are particularly inter-
ested in the possipilities of its in-
ternal use. It is technically known
as phenyl mercuric nitrate and is dis-
tributed only to physicians at the
present time.

University Students Are Shown
To Be Careless Nose Blowers
In this season of the year when
head colds are prevalent, it might
be well to know that, although in
themselves a comparatively harmless
and self-limiting infection, they can,
by improper care, progress into more
serious manifestations with disas-
trous consequences, according to an
official Health Service report, re-
leased yesterday.
One of the chief factors in the de-
velopment of more dangerous infec-
tions from a head cold, the report
stated, is the widespread habit of
nose blowing, improperly done.
When one has a cold, the mucous
membranes of the nose becomeswol-
len and inflamed. A large amount
of mucous is secreted in an attempt
to combat the infection, bringing
abbut a desire to blow the nose at
frequent intervals. However, if the
nose is not blown, the mucous either
Herbarium Boasts
220,000 Plants In
95 Year's Growth
The University Herbarium, started
95 years ago by Douglas Houghton,
pioneer Michigan geologist, today
boasts of over 220,000 examples of
plant life from every quarter of the
globe including hundreds of plants
found in Michigan.
In 1838 the Houghton botanical
specimens came to the University,
along with other natural history col-
lections made by this famous geolo-
gist. Thoughthe State originally in-
tended to charge the institution $4,-
000 for them, this proviso wascan-
celled in 1846.
A professor's home was the first
depository of the collection, where
they remained until 1841, when they
were removed to a large room in
Mason Hall, which became the Uni-
versity's first natural history mu-
seum.
In 1863 the Regents of the Uni-
versity could proudly report "an her-
barium, illustrative of the flora of
the state, containing about 1,500 spe-
cies, to which have been added about
400 species from the Southern states,
and 225 from Germany."
flows from the nose, .or else one
sneezes, thus clearing the nasal pas-
sages of the accumulated secretion.
During the past winter there were
five mastoid operations performed
upon University students, the major-
ity of which were caused by incorrect
blowing of the nose. It is suspected
that this habit causes about 90 per
cent of operations for mastoid, and
that it is frequently a cause of the
sinusitis associated with acute upper
respiratory infections as well.
The reason for the spread of in-
fection in this manner is that the
duct, called the Eustachian tube,
which leads from the back part of
the nose to the middle ear, is kept
closed by a very weak muscle, and
the increased intranasal pressure
brought about by blowing the nose
causes this muscle to relax. Thus
the infected material is often forced
up into the Eustachian tube where
it sets up a localized infection which
seals the tube, and, following the line
of least resistance,proceeds upward
through this easy route to the mid-
dle ear.
Such an infection in the middle
ear is characterized by severe pain
and deafness. If such acondition
occurs, an examination should be
made by a competent otologist so
that proper drainage may be estab-
lished and further complications pre-
vented, the report continued.
To diminish the risk of these com-
plications of the ordinary head cold,
it is well to know that the proper
drainage may be established and fur-
ther cozplications prevented, the re-
port continued.
To diminish the risk of these com-

plications of the ordinary head cold,
it is well to know that the proper way
to blow the nose is to hold the hand-
kerchief gently against it, compress-
ing neither nostril, and blow softly.
Never hold one nostril shut and blow
the opposite side forcibly. The nose
may feel somewhat obstructed after
the above procedure, but this is due
to the swelling of inflammation and
is not the result of accumulated se-
cretions, the report concluded. 4
