Here Is
Your Chance . .
S OME PHILANTHROPIC young col-
lege man or woman has a great
opportunity to help those students enrolled in the
University of Michigan for the simple purpose of
gaining an education.
It would be difficult; it would require a good
many hours of boredom; it would be at times in-
tensely interesting; and it would require impar-
tiality and keen judgment.
His job would be to divide the University of
Michigan professors into two classes: Those who
lead their students in vigorous discussion, who pic-
ture their subject in its true light, making it inter-
esting to the student whose, mentality is not dumb;
and those who require memorization for memoriza-
tion's sake, who want facts and more facts, giving
the student who has burned the candle the lowest
the highest grade.
Such a canvass could be put to great use. A stu-
dent who was here for true education could take
courses from professors in the first category. To
leain the subjects that professors of the second
class teach he could buy a few text books, master
the courses in his spare time, and not bother to
attend classes.
He would not be bored by professors who repeat
what he has read in the text books. He would not
find so many subjects devoid of interest because
the pertinent problems were not brought up by the
professor. He wouldn't lose interest to such an ex-
tent, as so many students do now, that he would
quit studying he course.
He would learn to reason, clear and rationally.
Logical thought would be his goal -not perfect
memorization, which always results in a dull, drab
personality. He wouldn't be filled with disgust
after taking a 'pure fact' exam. He might learn
facts, but he would learn them easily because he
would want them to employ in a problem which
interested him.
Here is your chance.
bor, we get a kick out of wearing white shoes in the
midst .of winter. Somehow, we find it fun to be
different.
Even governors of states must distinguish them-
selves from their peers-which, we must admit is
just, because they are humans, after all. In this
respect Gov. Clyde L. Herring of Iowa, a great
hog-raising state, is right at present head and
shoulders above the other 47 governors. He,
perhaps because he has nothing else to do, bet
Governor Floyd B. Olson of Minnesota a pig on
the Iowa-Minnesota football game last Saturday.
But, we must admit, there is nothing slouchy about
Governor Herring. He's going to present the Min-
nesota governor a 220-pound son of Blue Boy,
grand champion boar at the Iowa State Fair.
And what's more, he tells newspapermen, he's
going to herd the pig right into the office of Gov-
ernor Olson, "and if the police arrest me for vio-
lating an old city ordinance, I'll get an immediate
pardon from my host."
Just a great big boy in the governor's chair where
he can have his fun with real pomp and display.

About Those Paintings No w
To The Editor:
That the exhibition of "Twelve Paintings by
Six French Artists" now on view in Alumni Me-
morial Hall should arouse partisan discussion in
Ann Arbor was to be expected. The Five French
artists--Matisse, Picasso, Braque, Leger, and
Masson-have been the subjects of bitter parti-
san attack from the conservative forces for the'
last thirty years on both sides of the Atlantic.
There is nothing new in the arguments of the
Ann Arbor Conservatives -nothing which has
not been spoken of or written many times before.
The confirmed Conservative agues that an°
abstraction by Picasso, Braque, Leger, or Masson
is not art. He insists, for example, that the'
"Still Life" by Braque is not beautiful. He is
very dogmatic in his position on that point. Be-;
cause objects such as a banjo, a dish of grapes,;
a page of music, the corner of a mantle are used;
in a manner with which he is not familiar such use
is therefore not beautiful and the result of such
a combination of objects is not art. Many have
tried but no one has yet written an adequate
definition of art. All agree, however, on certain
desiderata in a work of art. Braque as artist
has as much right to paint an abstraction such
as his Still Life in the present exhibition as the
conservative critic has to object to such an ab-
straction. If it pleases Braque to create an
abstract decorative design enriched by arbitrary
color planes and variations in the texture of paint,
it is largely his affair. Possibly such a painting is
little more than a laboratory experiment.
But to say that it is not art is quite another
matter. The Conservative's definition of art
admits nothing which does not please him indi-
vidually. He likes that with which he is familiar;
what he does not understand must necessarily
be wrong. No amount of argument can change
him since he is unwilling to admit any point of
view save his own.
The Armory Exhibition of 1913 presented the
first comprehensive collection of the works of Ma-
tisse and the other "fauves" to the gentry of New
York. He showed then such paintings as "The
Game of Checkers." They were not recognized as
beautiful designs in line, mass and color because
the human figure, the inanimate object were used
in a non-representational manner. We do not ex-
pect absolute realism in a Byzantine mosaic or a
Coptic textile; we are satisfied with a pleasing
pattern. We often get a pleasing pattern in
line, mass and color in a painting by Matisse.
A survey of the life work of Picasso would re-
veal a considerable number of paintings of dis-
tinction and beauty. He can draw; he can
compose; he can paint. Such a painting as "La
Toilette" in the Albright Art Gallery, Buffalo sub-
stantiates such a claim. The "abstract" was
simply a phase in his career; he has long since
abandoned it. For the moment it pleased him to
deny realism and to play with form and color.
It need not be taken too seriously.
When we enter into the realm of the subcon-
scious - the dream phycho-analyses - as we do in
the "Man in Garden" by Andre Masson, we are
going a step farther into the impenetrable. No one
can share our dreams with us; they may be very
real to us but even a painted presentation of a
dream must remain acutely personal. The "Man
in Garden" is little more than a pattern in
color to one who does not understand its inner
significance, if any.
Ann Arbor is to be congratulated on the exhibi-
tion of the "Twelve Paintings by Six French
Artists." It offers an opportunity to examine
works of six of the most controversial artists of
the current school of Paris. What they have
to offer may be of slight importance in the his-
tory of 20th century French painting. They rep-
resent however an activity which is more interest-
ing than the lethargy of the academic Conserva-
tive. -Bruce M. Donaldson.
Footnote For The Talmud
(From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch)
OUR FAITH in the Talmud as a work literally
reeking with the pearls of wisdom is rudely
shaken by a quotation from it which has just come
to our notice, viz: "The humblest man is ruler in
his own house." The idea, we suppose, that Caspar

by traffic policemen, his boss, several insurance

THE DIARY OF OUR OWN SAMUEL PEPYS
Saturday, November 9
UP TO THE OFFICE very betimes to draw up
some letters, and to write some observations
on Armistice Day, which is day after tomorrow,
and a day which I am opopsed to the celebrating
of. For I think that the general effect of it is
martial. So to Brooklyn, to see the Manhattan
football team trounce the LaSalle team, and so
home to supper, and early to bed.
Sunday, November 10
LAY TILL AFTER EIGHT, and so up and in-
dulged in some Narcissism, and so did some
work, but had a feeling that nothing that I could;
do would be good enough, and after dinner to the
office and thence home the rest of the day, casting
up accounts and paying so many bills that it de-
pleted my check book, for which I was mighty
glad, albeit my wife tells me that she would give
me some checks on another bank, and I might
cross the name of it off, which I told her was a
kindness I did not know what I had done to de-
serve. So listened to the Town Crier tell about the
war, and felt that he still is too sentimental;
about a silly, boring rotten conflict that made
nothing safe for democracy, nor was a war to
end wars.
Monday, November 11
U P, AND to the office, all the day, doing a great
deal of business, and so after dinner to seei
"Parnell," which I was deeply interested in, and
read that Parnell's grandfather, for whom he was
named, was Commodore Charles Stewart, first
admiral of the American Navy, and commander
of Old Ironsides. And in the encyclopedia, I read
that he was cold and unemotional. Lord! I found
it an engrossing play, and in no detail of acting
could I find any flaw, Miss Rawlings and Mr.
George Curzon and Mr. Ed McNamara mighty
good, and Miss Effie Shannon I thought wonder-
ful: Lord! howlong ago it is when I saw her
and Mr. Kelcey in "A Coat of Many Colors"! Sate
next J. Meilziner, and he full of praise for Mr.
Chaney's settings of the play,
Tuesday, November 12
TO MY OFFICE, and there met Iughie Fullerton,;
who lives in Columbus, Ohio, and he tells me
a tayle that may or may not be true, about two
members of the football team poring over their
studies, and one said, "I am having great difficulty
with this Latin," and the other commented, "Well,'
this long division is no sinecure, neither." So at
the office all day, and so home, and read John
Taintor Foote's story, "Daughters of Delilah," in,
the Saturday Evening Post, and in it there was a
great wreath of laurel for Don Stillman, thus:
"It began last winter," said George. "Early
last winter. She mentioned it first at the
breakfast table. She said, 'George, we ought
to have a Connecticut farm.'
"I swallowed something the wrong way, I re-
member. When I could speak I said, 'Why?'
That's exactly what I said. 'Why?' No more,
no less. Isabelle said, 'Because everybody has
one.' I said, 'Who's everybody?' She said,
'Well, F.P.A. for one.' I thought she was talk-
ing about something the brain trusters had
rigged up that I'd missed. I said, 'What's
F.P.A.?' She said, 'It isn't a what. Do you
mean to sit there and tell me you don't know
who F.P.A. is?' I told her I most emphatically
did not. She said, 'Why, George Potter, he's
the one who runs the column in the Tribune.'
I told her the only column worth reading in
the Tribune was Rod and Gun. I asked her
what this other one was about. She said,
'Poetry, mostly.' I said, 'What has poetry got
to do with farming?' You'll admit that's a
natural question. I'll go further and say it's
the only question that would occur to any
many in his right mind. Well, she got up from
the breakfast table. She said, 'George, you're
hopeless -quite, quite hopeless.' Then she
left the room.'
So to Neil Thomas's and met there Mr. Sidney
Kingsley and Bide Dudley's daughter, who tells
me that she was born in 1917, and I was filled
with amazement that she could walk, not to say
talk plainly. So to Frances Ross's for dinner,
and I won $8, taking a share in M. Fatio's back-
gammon game against Harold. So home with
Betty and Howard Dietz to see their new radio
phonograph contraption, and thence home and to
bed, and read Helen Woodward's "Three Flights
Up," a candid story of her girlhood, which was
1not unpleasant, as most autobiographers like to
think that theirs was.
Wednesday, November 13
T COME on to rain this morning, warm and
thick, and I felt mighty little like doing my
work, and did almost not any, and so to publick and
had a unflavored malted milk, yet not flavorless;
and saw Mr. Wilcox the book-vendor, and he told
me that Dr. E. Devol had been to see him that
morning, and was seriously considering the pur-
chase of a book. So home by omnibus, and
waited more than fifteen minutes for one that went
to Washington Square, and so home and in the
evening to a parents' meeting, mighty interesting,
and I contended that the harm done to children
by listening to the Tracys and the Armstrongs
and the Bensons was much exaggerated; though
it may be that my criminal record may be traced
to my delight in nickel novels, cheap melodramas,
and variety and burlesque shows. Read "Stormy
Years," the autobiography of Carter H. Harrison,
who first was mayor of Chicago in 1897. Yet,
though most of his life was a political one, me-
seemed that there were other aspects of it that
were interesting, too, that he should have touched
upon. I should have liked to read about his
brother-in-law Barrett Eastman, whose place I
took on the Chicago Journal when he went on a
three weeks' holiday.

THE SCREEN
AT THE MAJESTIC
"THE CRUSADES
A Paramount picture starring Loretta
Young and Henry Wilcoxin, with Ian
Keith, Katherine DeMille, C. Aubrey
Smith, Alan Hale, C..Henry Gordon,
Joseph Schildkraut, etc.
Featured by magnificent acting by
the principals, remarkable photog-
raphy, an enormous cast, and all the
color and romance of the third cru-
sade, this picture is easily one of the
most outstanding of the year. It is a
spectacular production that even sur-
passes the first three great pictures of
Cecille B. DeMille in the same series,
but one cannot help but be amazed
at the thoroughness with which it was
produced.
Highest acting honors go to Ian
Keith, as Saladin, Sultan of Islam;
Loretta Young, as Berengaria, wife of
Richard; and Henry Wilcoxin, as
Richard the Lion-Heart. Keith really
steals the show from everyone else by
reason of his incomparabe portrayal
of the infidel leader. In two scenes,
before the gathering of Christian
kings and in his own headquarters
when Richard makes peace, he shows
such ability that one is convinced he
is living, rather than acting, his part.
And Miss Young gives one of the
best performances of her career, in-
terpreting her role that necessitates
both tenderness and indomitable
courage in a perfectly balanced man-
ner. Wilcoxin is excellently cast as
the blustering King Richard who
bows to no power until he is con-
verted to the Christian faith in the
end.
The story tells of Richard's enter-
ing the crusade to escape an unwel-
come marriage, arranged by his fa-
ther, with Princess Alice of France
(KatherinesDeMilley. The proposed
marriage is being pushed by King
Philip of France (C. Henry Gordon)
and Richard's refusal to go through
with it almost breaks up the crusade.
It proceeds, however, and while pass-
ing through Navarre Richard is forced
to marry Berengaria, without having
seen her, in order to procure her
dowry, which is enough food for his
hungry army.
The crusaders lay seige to Acre but
are repulsed until Berengaria and the
hermit (C. Aubrey Smith) are cap-
tured by Saladin. This so infuriates
the Christian armies that they carry
the city, only to find Saladin has left
with the new English queen. They
pursue to Jerusalem, where terrific
fighting depletes the crusaders forces.
Richard follows to the Sultan's tent
alone, and is persuaded to make peace
and send his men into the city with-
out arms - the main goal for which
the crusaders were fighting. Rich-
ard is converted to the Christian ban-
ners in spirit as well as actions, and
reclaims Berengaria from captivity.
The surrounding program, includ-
ing a silly Symphony, is above the
average.

To start with the revue, it is easily
the best thing that has been seen on
the Michigan stage in many years,
and we couldn't find a person in it
who isn't deserving of the highest
praise. And in particular the stars of
the stardust are (we don't know the
names) the girl who did the first
dance; the kid ballet team; the dead-
pan dancers; the girl who sang "Out
in The Cold Again"; and the toe-tap
dancer. Benny Davis, as master of
ceremonies, did a good job.
In the picture, the real star was
Walter Connolly, and he was closely
pushed by Wallace Ford. George
Raft is cast in one of the roles (that
of a gangster) that he does well, and
so does well enough. We still had
to stretch our imagination to the
breaking point to conceive a romance
between Joan Bennett and George,
but anything is possible in the movies.
Outside of that, it's a great comedy,'
with a plot so preposterous that it
keeps one laughing all the time. And
there are enough police in the show
to quell any sort of a riot.
Joan and Billie Burke are the
daughter and wife and are known
as the maddest people in town, due
to their antics. Husband and father
decides it's about time he started
something instead of letting them
cause all the trouble so he goes to
prison on an income tax count, where
he has public enemy number one
(Raft) for a cell-mate. When he
feels that he's going to die he makes
Raft the trustee of his entire for-
tune, in the hope that this will calm
his family.
