the globe was the most desired of any,.
The voyages of Columbus, Vasco Da-1
Gama, and Hudson had all been in
search of the East Indies.t
The Dutch, says Professor Hyma,1
were eventually successful. Then the
English, in hope of an island or two,1
asked for negotiations. Accordingly,
a committee headed by Grotius wast
sent to London. Upon its arrival, it
found a humorous and complex situa-
tion. The Dutch could not speak Eng-
lish, and the English could not speaki
Dutch. The only thing to do was to
write the proceedings in Latin.
Grotius was the only one who could
write Latin, continues Professor]
Hyma, and he wrote all documents.i
The importance of their discovery to1
the twentieth century is, in addition
to the fact that they explain the
Far Eastern situation of the period,
in the Auditorium of the University
High School. The program will be
presented by student teachers living

that they reflect the transition of Gro-
tius' views on various questions that
lead up to his two famous books; "Free
Seas," and "Law of War and Peace,"
upon which are based nearly all reg-
ulations of modern international law.
The documents consist of 38 folio
pages, says Professor Hyma, in con-
cluding his dramatic tale, on which
are written first the arguments of
one side and then the other.
Professor Hyma did all his work
from Ann Arbor, having all the docu-
ments in the English archives photo-
stated. A University grant made this
possible.
Professor Hyma's discovery, which
he plans to publish as soon as he fin-
ishes the translation, is called by his-.
torians the world over, one of the
startling discoveries of the age. In the
words of Professor Hyma himself,
"throwing light on an important con-
troversial question as it does, it is, I
believe, my outstanding contribution
to history."
Japan Cab inet
Members Fear
Murder Threat
Fifteen Governmnent Men
Are Involved InI Huge
Financial Scandal
TOKIO, May 21.--(P)-Armed
guards were assigned today to protect
the lives of Japanese cabinet members
amid fears of terrorism created by the
government financial scandal.
Additional arrests brought to 15 the
number, headed by Kideo Kuroda, vice
minister of finance, now held on
charges of corrupt financial practices.
Five finance ministry officials were
among them.
The precautionary measures were
invoked in the fear ultra-patriotic or-
ganizations would seize the cabinet's
difficulties for a campaign of terror-
ism.
Premier Saito was watched over by
an especially heavy guard.
In addition, orders went out from
the home ministry -in charge of
maintaining the public peace - for
prefectoral governors to make any
precautions believed necessary in their
areas.
It may be a month before the cab-
inet decides whether to resign as a
result of the scandal, according to the
consensus of vernacular newspapers.
If developments indicate Kuroda and
his associates are guilty, the ministry
is expected to quit.
Rapid-moving political develop-
ments indicated rival leaders were
preparing for the crash, should it de-
velop. Word that Gen. Kazunari
Ugaki, governor general of Korea and
long-time aspirant to premiership, is
coming to Tokio aroused comment.
Another powerful element favors
former Premier Count Keigo Ki-
Youra for the premiershipshould the
Saito ministry resign.
Leta Musgrave To Give
Recital This Afternoon
Leta Musgrave, pupil of Prof. Pal-
mer Christian, will present a public

Auditorium. The public, with the ex-
ception of small children, is invited.
Miss Musgrave will present two

music' composers. She will also be
heard in a Karg-Elert number, as well
as numbers by Bingham, Schmitt, and
Widor.
Two other organ recitals will con-
clude the spring series within a week.
On Thursday, Allan Callahan, '33SM,
director of music and organist at the
Zion Lutheran Church, will offer a
program, while on May 29, Achilles
Taliaferro, music director at the First
Methodist Episcopal Church, will be
heard.

ity of Helen Knight, a Miami Univer-
sity student, has started co-eds at the
university on their way to the perfect
girlish figures.
Early in the morning and after
every meal, scores of the co-eds can
be seen skipping pounds away on
Oxford's board walks.
Miss Knight, known here for her
trim figure, has found that nothing is
better for improving one's form than
skipping rope several minutes a day
Librarian Declares
That Classics ilave
Been Best Sellers
WASHINGTON, May 21. -(IP)-
"A classic is a book that one ought to
read but doesn't unless compelled to
by outside pressure."
This common statement is an error,
according to Dr. George F. Bower-
man, librarian of the Public Library,
who asserts that the classics have
been the best sellers through the
years.
"Quo Vadis," a religious novel of
Rome in Nero's day, by the Polish
author, Sienkiewicz, he says, has been
the 'best seller since 1896.
Moreover, Dr. Bowerman asserts,
"Pilgrim's Progress," "Robinson Cru-
soc," "Vanity Fair," and "Lorna
*Doane," all classics, have been best
sellers according to long-time rec-
ords, while the supposedly popular
"Three Weeks," by Elinor Glyn, has
not been so classed.
Through advertisement, he said,
' many books become best sellers for
short periods of time. Of 200 best
sellers ill the last 37 years, Dr. Bower-
man asserts, only 22 authors have
been credited with more than two
each. However, he says, of the ten
books by Winston Churchill, nine
have been best sellers.

Prospective Freshmen Grouped
As To Proba ble Success Here
The registrar's office is again buzz-
ing with activity as hundreds of ap-
plications are flowing in for next
year's freshmen. The question often
arises, just what the office does with
all the information received. In an
intreview with Elizabeth Lawrie, stat-
istician in the registrar's office, some
of the purposes were disclosed.
All freshmen are divided into three
groups according to the information
contained in the application blanks,
in an effort to predict their success in
college work. These groups are des-
ignated A-1, A-2, and A-3. It is ex-
pected that students in the A-1 group
will do well in the university; that;
students in the A-2 group will at
least do average work, and that the
A-3 group may have some scholastic
difficulties.
This classification is based on the
size of school; individual subject
grades; principals' rating of the stu-
dent; rank in the high school gradu-
ating class; student's age, and other
relevant material.
In the Engineering College the A-1
group earned 51.8% of all the A
grades, and only 1.9% of all the E
grades. The A-2 group earned 39%
of the A grades and 10,4% E's, and
in the A-3 group 9.1% of the A grades
were received and 87.7% of the E's.
In all, the two groups predicted to do
good work at the university received
90.8% of the A grades and 12.3% of
the E grades.
In the literary colloge 63.3% of the
A grades were received by the A-1
group and but 2.1% of the E grades.
The A-2 group received 29.6% of all
the A grades and 19.5% of the E's,
while the A-3 group made 7.1% of all
the A grades and 78.4% of the E's.
Again, these figures show the two up-
per groups made 92.9% of the. A
grades and 21.6% of all the E grades.
The 1933-34 class, when compared
with the class of 1932-33, shows prac-
tically the same percentage of various
grades, although this year's class had
an increase in the number of stu-
dents.
