Patronesses for Senior Supper, an-
nual affair honoring senior women,
to be held 6:30 p.m. March 26, the
night of the premiere of the Junior
Girls Play, were announced yester-
day by Virginia York, '36, assistant-
chairman.
The list is as follows: Regent Esther
G. Cram, Mrs. Alexander G. Ruth-
ven, Dean Alice C. Lloyd, Mrs. Joseph
A. Bursley, Mrs. Byrl Bacher, Miss
Ethel McCormick, Mrs. George M.
Stanley, Miss Jeannette Perry, Miss
Marian Durell, and Dr. Margaret Bell.
At Speakers Table
These patrons, together with mem-
bers of Senior Society and Mortar-
board, senior honorary groups, will
sit at the speaker's table. Julie Kane,
'36, chairman of last year's J.G.P.,
will preside as toastmaster for the
affair.
There will be a special table for
the members of the central commit-
tee of last year's junior girls' produc-
tion including Kathryn Rietdyk,
Joyce Black, Marjorie Morrison, Bar-
bara Bates, Jane Fletcher, Margaret
Hiscock, Dorothy Shappell, Florence
Harper, Grace Bartling, Sue Thomas,
and Betty Chapman, chairman of this
year's Senior Supper. Also at this
table will be seated the women who
played the leads in the 1935 produc-
tion.
Senior Supper, a long-established
tradition, marks the first time that
fourth-year women appear in their
caps and gowns. This year for the
first time, however, not only mem-
bers of Mortarboard and Senior So-
ciety, but all senior women will wear
their caps with their gowns. Form-
erly only members of the two honor-
ary organizations have worn the caps
at the dinner.
To Attend Play
After the supper, the group in a
body will attend the opening perfor-
mance of this year's Junior Girls
Play, "Sprize" at the Lydia Mendel-
ssohn Theatre.
Committee members for the affair
are: Betty Greve, '36, caps and
gowns; Miss Thomas and Miss Bart-
ling, decorations; and Miss Rietdyk,
patronesses.
Tickets for the supper may be pur-
chased from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. March
23 through the 26th, in the Under-
graduate Office of the League. The
price of the tickets is 65 cents which
includes both the dinner and the play.
Group reservations may be made
by sororities and dormitories but the
money for the entire group should be
presented when the reservations are
made, according to Miss Chapman.
Caps and gowns may be obtained at
the League at the same time that the
tickets are purchased. Gowns may
be rented but the caps are sold out-
right along with the collars.
Finance Chairman
Makes Report On
J.G.P. Contributions
More than two hundred and sev-
enty dollars has already been turned
in by the junior women for the sup-
port of the 1936 Junior Girls Play,
"Sprize!" Grace Snyder, finance
chairman, announced.
This amount shows an increase of
approximately thirty dollars over last
year's collections, Miss Snyder said.
Additional collections will be made up
until the opening of the musical
revue.
Every sorority and independent
woman has been canvassed -each
woman being taxed $1. This system
of collecting from all junior women
has been functioning for a number
of years.
The 1936 production will open at
8:15 p.m. Thursday, March 26 and
will continue for an additional two-
day run with a matinee performance
Saturday, March 28. The opening
night will once again carry out the
30-year old tradition of honoring
senior women.
This year's play includes a cast of
195 women with an additional 100
women working on the various play
committees
COMBINATIONS IN STYLE
Combinations of colors will be seen
in every modc of dress this spring. A
black hat, blue suit and brown shoes
will be seen together. Other en-
sembles that will seem equally out-
landish to some, are comprised of aj
black bowler hat, grey suit, fawn
colored mocha gloves, brown buck-
skin shoes, and blue tie. And it's
good style!

Opening Of UniversityI
When Michigan became a state in
1837, the Constitution which then
became operative, Professor Davis
continued, provided the legislature
with the responsibility of providing
for a system of common schools and
maintaining a university. This third
great forward step in education in
Michigan, the speaker averred,
bTought about the opening of the
University in 1841.
Explaining that the school had
difficulty at first in obtaining stu-
dents satisfactorily trained, Profes-
sor Davis told how the legislature
"came to the rescue" by permitting
several small school districts to com-
bine and to provide a college prepara-
tory department. Once high schools
began to be formed, expansion took
place very rapidly, he added.
Professor Davis emphasized the in-
fluence upon education of Dr/ James
B. Angell, who became president of
the University in 1871. He shaped,
