"White Steed' Star Was Boyhood
Friend Of Pla ywright Coward

Philip Tonge Made Stage
Debut At Age Of Four;
Has Played In Movies
By HARVIE IIAUFLER
The stage career of Philip Tonge,
who enacts a stern and zealously
moralistic Father Shaughnessy in
"The White Steed," Dramatic Sea-
son presentation playing this week,
has been closely bound up with that
of his boyhood pal, playwright Noel
Coward.
They met in 1911 in a London the-
atrq, when Coward was 11. Both had
youthful parts in "Where the Rain-
bow Ends." Many reminiscences of
their boyhood adventures are con-
tained in Coward's autobiography,
"Present Indicative."
Since then Mr. Tonge has played
in his friend's plays "Design for Liv-
ing" and "Point Valaine," with Al-
fred Lunt and Lynn Fontaine.
When he appeared in juvenile roles
with Coward, Tonge was already a
veteran actor. He 'had played with
Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree at the
age of four. One of the high spots
of his career as a child actor, he be-
lieves, was when he played "Mami-
lius" in Shakespeare's "A Winter's
Tale," at Ellen Terry's 50th Jubilee
Performance in His Majesty's The-
atre,. London. His role was the same

that had launched Miss Terry on her
long and brilliant career.
Another great English actor with
whom Mr. Tonge played was Sir Hen-
ry Irving. He enacted Geoffrey in
"Becket" on Sir Henry's last tour and
was acting with him in Bradford,
England when he died in 1905.
His success continued in America,
where he has appeared in "Blue-
beard's Eighth Wife," with Ina Claire,
"Adam and Eva," "The Better 'Ole"
with the Coburns, "Smilin' Through"
with Jane Cowl, and "The Bunch
and Judy" with Fred and Adele
Astaire.
Fitting his acting skill to modern
media, Mr. Tonge has played in mo-
'tion pictures, on numerous radio
programs and just prior to this en-
gagement complete a series of experi-
mental programs in television.
Mr. Tonge has appeared once be-
fore in Ann Arbor, playing here for
one night in "Young Woodley" with
Glenn Hunter in 1927.
To Hold Band Clinic Hee
Due to its success in previous years,
the High School Band Clinic will be
held again this summer from July 10
to July 29, to afford practical in-
struction,.band training and a wider
musical experience to high school
musicians.

Ratcliff Pens
RetailReport
Discusses Choice Of Sites
And Etonomic Factors
A 93 page report discussing the
reasons why retail stores are where
they are and the economic factors
faced in locating such stores has just
been published by Prof. Richard U.
Ratcliff, assistant director of the
University's Bureau of Business Re-
search.
Professor Ratcliff's report, "The
Problem of Retail Site Selection,"
concerns itself with a statistical an-
alysis of the retail shopping areas in
24 large American cities that breaks
down the retail area into an econom-
ic machine whose pattern is deter-
mined by the economic forces.
In this issue of a series of publica-
tions known as "Michigan Business
Studies," Profesor Ratcliff' considers
how the presence of other stores, the
merits and defects of each location
and consumers' buying habits affect
the success of a business enterprise.
Professor Ratcliff hastens to em-
phasize, however, that no specific for-
mula can be evolved for the location
of store sites. All that can be done,
he, says, is to attempt to analyze
mature retail areas with the purpose
of learning successful economic pat-
terns.
Embree Rates
Michigan 6th
Scholastically
Michigan's scholastic rating is sixth
highest in the United States, accord-
ing to Edwin R. Embree, president
of Chicago's Rosenwald Fund, whose
article "In Order of Their Eminence"
in a recent periodical contains the
latest available authoritative rating of
colleges and universities in the coun-
try.
Mr. Embree, who believes that a
school is no better than its faculty,
arrived at his rating by consulting
such reliable compilations as "Ameri-
can Men of Science," examining the
publications of university professors,
and by compiling the opinions of
noted educators as to the quality of
the teaching of their subject in other
schools.
According to this rating Michigan
comes after Harvard, Chicago, Col-
umbia, California, and Yale, rated in
that order.
Twenty-four departments were
commented on in this study and,
according to Mr. Embree's tabulation,
Michigan has 14 good departments
and 10 bad ones.
The good departments include:
astronomy, bacteriology, b o t a n y,
chemistry and chemical engineering,
classics, economics, education and
English. The department of history,
pathology, philosophy, physics, poli-
tical science and zoology were also
rated highly.
Among the departments which Em-
bree ranked low are the departments
of anthropology, biochemistry, en-
gineering, geology, and German. The
mathematics; physiology, psychology,
romance languages, and sociology de-
partments also have a low rating.

Services Will Be Offered
To Men And Women
With Study Problems
By HARRY M. KELSEY
Resulting from the experiment this
semester of Congress, independent
men's organization, a tutorial sys-
tem planned for next year will aid
men and women, affiliated and inde-
oendent, ander the joint sponsorship
of Congress, the Interfraternity Coun -
cil and the League.
Congress' trial plan for independent
men met with such enthusiastic re-
sponse among those helped that con-
tinuation of the system on a larger
scale was found desirable.
A total of 25 students were handled,
numerous other applications remain-
ing unfilled because of a shortage of
tutors and the fact that only men
were being helped. In most cases
three or four meetings with the tutor
cleared the person's problem, while
some needed only one or two sessions.
According to plans devised for fall,
tutors will be contacted with the be-
ginning of the semester and will be
ready to begin their work when the

five weeks' marks for freshmen are
issued.
Tutors will be volunteer members
of Tau Beta Pi, junior engineering
honor society; Phi Eta Sigma, fresh-
man men's honorary society; and
Alpha Lambda Delta, freshman wo-
men's honorary society. The subjects
these tutors will be capable of assist-
ing students with will include most
of the elementary courses in the liter-
ary school and engineering school
and many of the advanced courses.
Applications for tutoring will be
received both from the individuals
themselves who are seeking help and
from their advisers or mentors. Aca-
demic counselors in both the engi-
neering school and the literary school
have endorsed the plan and have
recommended the system to their stu-
dents in frequent cases.
Alberta Wood, '40, will head the
committee in charge of women appli-
cants, to be administered through
the League. Jack Shuler, '40E, will
represent Congress and the Interfra-
ternity Council representative has
not yet been named to serve on a
joint committee of those two organi-
zations to administer to the needs of
applying men.

Describing Michigan highways as
the worst, roughest and bumpiest on
his route, Ken Chrysler, 21 year old
Minneapolis youth raced through here
yesterday on his roller skating mara-
thon to the New York World's Fair.
The rolling publicity seeker hopes
to make the stretch from Minneapolis
to New York, a distance of 1,450 miles,
in 30 days. On his second pair of
skates, the panting traveller must
average 60 miles a day from now on
to reach Grover Whalen's side show

DID YOU KNOW.. .
that you'll lose money if
you fail to convert your text
books into cash before they be-
come obsolete?
You can't spend a useless text
book . . . unless you turn it into
cash. Look in your bookcase
right now and you'll find books
you don't use gathering dust.
Yet they no doubt have a ,cash
value. Why not turn them into
cash at FOLLETT'S.
You'll be pleasantly surprised
when you find out how much
they are really worth.
Sell them now while they
still have a value. With changes
in world events, the rapid ad-
vance in science, the new spirit
in literature, and the new meth-
ods of teaching . . . text books
quickly go out of date. New
Editions and better texts will
make your books valueless in
a short time.
Because we have contacts
with University Book Stores all
over the United States . . . we
have a more diversified outlet
for books. That means we can
make you a more liberal allow-
ance.
Bring all your text books to
FOLLETT'S right now before
they become obsolete. Remem-
ber that you may have cash or
exchange.

Preservation Of Past Records
Is Aim Of Historical Collections



By EMILE GELE
Someone wishing to know the price
of eggs in Marshall, Mich., in 1836,
would find himself in quite a dilem-
ma if he hadn't heard of the Michi-
gan Historical Collections.
Located on the ground floor of the
Rackham Building, the Collections
pursues the modern method of col-
lecting and preserving important
records of the past. The accumula-
tion of papers pertaining to the his-
tory of the University and the Senate
is the guiding purpose of this pro-
gram begun four years ago by Prof.
Lewis G. Vander Velde, of the history
department.
Researchers in Michigan history
have a rapidly developing source of
material in these Collections which
include all types of historical books,
documents and papers from diaries
of former Michigangovernors tothe
minutes of early church meetings.
Among the collections are such
printed items as the catalogue of
students and officers of the Romeo
branch of the University in 1848-49
and a series of the Journal of Educa-
tion of 1838 which, when compared to
an education magazine of today,
shows a century of education develop-
ment.
Getting back to the price of eggs in
Marshall in 1836, some of the most
interesting information dealing with

life of the ordinary Michigan citizen Barrymore, who was forced to c
'in the early 19th century can be cel a stage appearance Tuesday n
found in the accounts of a general planned to resume his role in
store of Marshall. Prices, fashions, Dear Children" next Monday nig
