German group meeting of the School-
masters Club last Friday, Prof. Hen-
ry W. Nordmeyer of the German de-

The AATG publishes The German
Quarterly, devoted to discussions of
educational methods, developments in
the teaching of German, and to re-;
views of textbooks, Professor Nord-
meyer explained. The new chapter
was formed in order to promote a
professional attitude among the
teachers of German in the state. Sim-
ilar organizations, he said, for French{
and Spanish have already established
their chapters in Michigan. The publi-
cation also contains suggestions for
extra-curricular activties and some
factual research on German literary,
and linguistic subjects.
A draft of a constitution was sub-
mitted at Friday's meeting, and after]
it was voted upon favorably, officers
were elected for the coming year.
Professor Nordmeyer was choseni
president, Miss Jennie Coy of Jack-
son, vice-president, and Miss Louise 1

Aiding Refugees In East
And Central Europe
By ROBERT PERLMAN
The Joint Distribution Committee,
one of the three organizations com-
bined in the United Jewish Appeal
drive, is the largest American agency
concerned with providing relief for
religious refugees in Central and Eas-
tern Europe.
Since 1933 the J.D.C. has spent $6,-
450,000 on its program in Germany
and Austria. Through free loan
societies established in 1914 the J.D.C.
has given financial assistance to Jew-
ish communities in Poland, Rumania,
Lithuania and Latvia.
The program of the Joint Distribu-
tion Committee has centered around
the following activities:
Retraining Jewish professional and
business men and women, deprived
of the chance to earn a living in those
fields, to become farmers, and crafts-
men in new countries.
Increasing educational opportuni-
ties for more than 30,000 Jewish chil-
dren who have been excluded from
'schools oy government decrees.
Paying for the transportation of
emigrants to Palestine and other
lands.
Training thousands of youths as
artisans, agricultural workers and
mechanics.

In the "The Art of Listening to Mu-
sic," opening lecture of the Music
and Art Series, Prof. Glenn D. Mc-
Geoch of the Music School stressed
that the basis of musical apprecia-
tion is based on the false assumption
that music must depend on the other
arts for support. Before it can take
a legitimate place as an academic
subject, he added, music must be rid
of this attitude.
Brumni Talks On Ibsen
This false assumption has been
prevalent throughout the history of
music, he observed, until in the 19th
century Eduard Hanslick restated the
problem of musical esthetics and
clarified the independent and auto-
nomous position of music among the
arts.
Tracing the influence. of Ibsen on
modern dramatists, Prof. John L.
Brumm of the journalism depart-
ment declared, in the second lecture
of the Literature Series, that Ibsen
was the first of modern dramatists.
He wrote during the beginning of the
scientific era, Professor Brumm add-
ed, and had a profound effect on the
writers who followed him.
The program for today includes:
Parliamentary Law Series, Mrs. Em-
ma A. Fox, State parliamentarian of
the Michigan State Federation of
Women's Clubs, at 8 a.m.; Adult Edu-
cation Series, "Radio and Education,"

Camp Also Used As Base
In Geology Field Work;
72 Will Take Courses
By KARL KESSLER
Illustrative of the modern trend in
educational methods toward giving
practical experience in actual field
work is Camp Davis, the University
summer surveying camp near Jack-
son, Wyo.
Camp Davis is ideally situated both
for a surveying camp and for its re-
cently acquired function as a base
camp for geology field work. The
broad valley floor of Jackson's Hole,
its, numerous lakes and streams, and
the towering Teton Range over-look-
ing the camp provide enough varia-
tion of landscape to give the prospec-
tive surveyor a working knowledge of
any type of terrain that he may meet
in his future work.
Michigan pioneered ir1 the estab-
lishmen and manitenance of a camp
for summer field work. Camp Davis
was organized in 1874 under the sup-
ervision of the late Prof. J. B. Davis.
Scandinavian Club
Holds Picnic Today,
Dancing, games and a weiner roast
at the Island are planned for the
last regular meeting of the Scandin-
avian Club which will start at 8 p.m.
today in Lane Hall. All Scandinavian
students and their friends, especially
those who wish to join the group next
season are invited to attend.
A selected group of Norwegian folk
songs by Odin Anderson will be
featured at a banquet sponsored by
the club May 12, and a picnic May
19 will climax the year's activities.
Folk-dancing, travel talks, motion
pictures, games and discussions have
highlighted previous meetings which
were always characterized by their
old country hospitality.
The camp occupied several sites in
Michigan until 1929 when the Univer-
sity purchased a tract -of land in
Jackson's Hole. Wyo.
Camp Davis is located in the valley
of the Hoback River 75 miles south
of Yellowstone National Park. The
camp itself is situated on the flat
valley floor, but to either side rise
the towering peaks of the Hoback and
Grand Teton mountains. The build-
ings of the camp itself are construct-
ed of sheet iron with concrete floor-
ing. The water supply is brought to
the camp by gravity from a small
mountain stream south of the camp
site.
Thirty-six students, 20 surveyors
and 16 geologists, will take courses
there this summer, Prof. H. Bouchard
of the department of geodesy and
surveying director of Camp Davis,
announced yesterday.
Local Art Patrons

Art will contribute to a loan exhibi-
tion, which opened yesterday and

er,' Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Earhart, Prof.

Dr. Emeneau
To Begin Indic
Bekigion Talks
Lecture By Yale Expert
Today Features Movies
Of FireWalking Rites
The first in a series of three lec-
tures discussing the religious condi-
tions in modern India will be offered
at 4:15 p.m. today in the main am-
phitheatre of the Rackhai Building
by Dr. Murray B. Emeneau of Yale
University, speaking under the aus-
pices of the Department of Oriental
Languages and the University Com-
mittee on Religious Education.
The first lecture, entitled "'unda-
mentals of Idea and Practice," will be
accrmpanied by motion pictures de-
picting the fire walking ceremonies
practiced during various religious fes-
tivals.
"Daily Rites: The Cult of Ascetism"

second lecture at 4:15 p.m. tomorrow
in the amphitheatre. His third lec-
ture on "The Cults of Vishnu-Krish-
na" will be offered at 4:15 p.m. Fri-
day in the Natural Science Auditori-
um.
Dr. Emeneau is considered a lead-
ing authority in the field of Indic
religions. He has recently returned
from a three year research period
among the various Indian language
groups. His grammatical account of
Toda and Mayalalam-two non-Dra-
vidian vernaculars-is now in publica-
tion.
Interest in the Sanskrit "Kavya" or
"court poetry and its associate the-
ories of poetics have long occupied Dr.
Emeneau. While working in San-
skrit, he produced "Twenty-Five Tales
of the Corpse Demon" which is still
considered one of the best translations
of a well-known Sanskrit story collec-
tion.
Chemical Engineers Plan
Tour Of Two Factories
A group of 70 chemical engineering
students will make an inspection trip
today to 'the plants 'of the Michigan
Alkali Co. at Wyandotte 'and the
White Star Refining Co. at Trenton.
The party will spend the morning
studying the various 'processes of an
oil refinery atnthe Trenton plant and
in the afternoon will proceed to the
alkali plant to make a particular
study of the soda ash process and
such methods of by-product recovery
as the ammonia absorption process.
