E. Ludwig Will
Speak Next In
,ture Series
Topic Of Talk By Noted
Biographer Is 'Europe-
71914 To 194Q'
rmit Ludwig, said to be one of the
oiftstanding biographers of modern
times, whose works have been trans-
latd into 25 languages throughout
}word, will speak Thursday at Hill
tuitorium under the auspices of the
ratorical Association.
udwig has taken the comprehen-
s4ubject, "The Fate of Europe -
l to x.940,", to consider in his lec-
tre. His intimate relations with
Aluropean dictators and leaders in
diplomatic affairs, together with the
ob ectivity attained through his po-
s frin as a neutral observer, should
n4e udwig to speak authoritative-
ly on this topic.
Creator of such famous biographies
as "Napoleon," "Bismarck," "Lin-
coln," "Beethoven," "Goethe,'' and
' 1ter Meinschensohn" (his study of
th life of Christ), Ludwig's most re-
cent books to achieve international
recognition arehis "Leaders of Eu-
rope" and "talks With Mussolini."
,udwig is the unquestioned leader
of a new school of biographica writ-
ers, who lay stress on psycho-analy-
tical methods in studying the lives
of great men and women. His "Die
,Entlassung," dramatizing the first
authentic account of Bismarck's dis-
missal by the German emperor, pub-
lished during the war, marked Lud-
Wig's first rise to international prom-
inence and his first important at-
tempt at psychological methods of
biography.
Ludwig's family name is Cohn, and
although a native of Germany, he
bias lived in Switzerland for the past
26 years. He was one of the many
Jo table German Jews who received
abuse at the instigation of the Nazi
government.
Originally intended by his parents
for a legal career, and having proved
a failure in a compromise field of ac-
tivity -the coal business-Ludwig
set out on a career of journalism and
play writing. He published 17 books
bepo~re the start of the World War,
pone of them creating much of an
imrpession, even in his natilve Ger-
many.
It was not until the end of the
war, and his emergence as a writer
7 biography, that Ludwig became no-
.ced in literary circles of Europe,
and despite severe criticisms of his
style and method of writing he rose
to, his present position of pre-emi-
pence in biography in the space of a
w' years.
,No advance in the regular price
o ickets will be made for Ludwig's
eture and they may be secured from
. ahr's State Street bookstore.
AQ Ban Has
Been Of Benefit
To Universi ty
(Continued from Page I)
e to the campus and its activi-
.,A very small group," he said, "is
iyen permission to leave the campus
hweek-ends, and then only in cases
f very important business or family
airs." Many freshmen, he said,
Id like to go home on almost every
week-end, and keeping them at school
develops the independence which is
necessary in later years.
He pointed out that the ruling has
caused no noticeable change in the,
registration qf new freshmen. The
numnber of those who do not enter
the University, he said, because of the
ruling is' balanced by those who are
sent by their parents because of the
auto ban.
In announcing the new ruling to
the Board of Regents in his report,
P~resident Ruthven stated that one of
the purposes of the drastic step was
the moral betterment of the student I
body. That it has succeded in this
end has been clearly demonstrated.
At the recent convention of Social
Workers in Ann Arbor, it was pointed
out 'that the birth-rate among un-
married university students has been#
cut down by more than 75 percent.
Other effects of the "ban" have
been to decrease traffic in Ann Arbor,
to increase attendance at University
affairs and to increase the circula-
t6i of books in the general library,
all of which seems to indicate that
it has more than succeeded in its
purpose, and has been an advantage
to the student body, instead of a
dIetriment, as was originally expected.

Proposed Tax

New Donations
$60,000,000 In Stocks Is
Given Away Within Four
Mlonths, SEC Reports
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7. -(/P) -
That President Roosevelt's proposal
for higher gift taxes inspired a wave
of donations was further indicated
today. A check-up showed stock gifts
dlone of $60,000,000 in four months.
This included only gifts by certain
corporation officers and large stock-
holders in the first four months after
the President's message to Congress.
The new rates passed by Congress
do not become effective until January.
Tax experts said the sum so far
disclosed is probably only an indica-
tion of the trend, and that when all
other gifts are reported in next year's
returns the $60,000,000 may look
small.
Statistics on the gifts were gath-
ered from reports to the securities
and exchange commission for the
period from June 19, when the Presi-
dent delivered his surprise message,
through part of October. No later
reports have been named available.
The total included some gifts which
may well have been planned long
before the President's message.
Commuting Service
Will Be Discussed
In a meeting of the transportation
committee of the Ann Arbor Cham-
ber of Commerce yesterday, it was
decided to confer with Mr. Danhoff,l
attorney for the Michigan Central
Railroad, in an effort to continue the
present commuting service to De-
troit. The railroad recently an-
nounced its intention of discontinu-
ing the service Dec. 16.
Joseph Hooper, a member of the
committee, stated that in view of the
number of residents who had re-
cently moved here and to Ypsilanti,
and the number of passengers that
used the special coach every morn-
ing, that the chamber had a good
chance to persuade the railroad tol
continue running the gasoline-pow-
ered coach.
The committee hopes to secure the
aid of Ypsilanti commuters in oppos-
ing the change, as many of the pas-
sengers live in that city.
Fight Over Curfew
Is Seen By Official
LANSING, Dc. 7. - (/P) - Liquor
Control Commissioner Frank E.
Gorman said today a conflict be-,
twen outstate forces opposed to a 1
a.m. curfew on the sale of beer and
liquor and the faction that favors
the early closing will flare into the
open within the next fortnight.
The commissioner said he has in-
formation that operators of drink-
ing places in every county of the
state are conducting meetings prep-
aratory to a concerted attack on the
early curfew. He said the informa-
tion comes from the operators them-
selves.
On the other shand, Gorman con-
tinued, temperance forces who be-
lieve a mandatory 1 a.m. closing hour
provides ample time for drinking are
massing quietly to combat the operat-
ors.

Course In Education Is Offered
In 16 Centers Throughout State
Largely because of the success of
the plan last year, a field course in
education is being offered in various
centers of the state by the School
of Education in cooperation with the
University Extension Division.
The course being given is B195f,
State and National Trends in Edu-
cation, with special reference to the
curriculum of elementary and sec-
ondary schools. The centers chosen
for the presentation of this field study
are 16 in number anci are well scat-
tered throughout both the penin-
sulas so as to afford a good coverage
of the entire state. They include
Jackson, Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids,
Saginaw, Ann Arbor, Royal Oak,
Flint, Port Huron, Gaylord, Niles,
Ironwood, Newberry, Ishpeming,
Houghton, Iron Mountain, and Man-
istee.
Primarily intended for those per-
sons holding administrative and
supervisory positions in the field of
education, the course has been, upon
request, made open to teachers and
other qualified students who are
eligible to take graduate work. Upon
the fulfilment of certain require-
ments, credit for the work can be ob-
ta"ed. About 400 supervisors, prin-
cipals, superintendents and teachers
are now enrolled in the course.
The purpose of the course is to
answer the numerous questions being
asked at the present time by various
committees and boards throughout
the country in regard to school cur-
ricula. A critical examination is
made of the why and wherefore of
subjects on the present programs of
study and what new subjects should
be incorporated.
Those who took the field work last
year testified that this method has
four major attractions. It conserves
the time and effort of those desiring
to keep abreast of the more recent
trends and developments in educa-
tion; it provides for a closer tie-up
between educational theory and prac-
tice than is possible in the typical
course on a college campus; and it
creates an opportunity to profit by
the experience of others who are faced
with similar problems, and tends to
promote cooperative planning. The
course also stimulates a genuine de-
sire to grow professionally by work-
ing on the problems within one's own
school.
The following members of the ed-
ucation school's staff are giving the
course: Professors Francis D. Cur-
tis, Calvin O. Davis, Louis W. Keel-
er, Harlan C. Koch, Howard Y. Mc-
Clusky, William Clark Trow, Raleigh
Schorling, and Clifford Woody.
Important contributions in the or-
ganization of the course have been
made by Professors George Carroth-
ers, Stuart A. Courtis, Warren R.
Good, Edgar G. Johnston, and Wil-
lard C. Olson and Dean James H.
Edmonson.
