for the Maxwell School of Citizenship

sociology and political science, is a
required course. Besides liberal arts.
it has a college of business adminis-
tration and a school of journalism,
both of which offer bachelor of sci-
ence degrees.
The University district is situated
on Piety Hill on the outskirts of the
city. The campus is a square block.
of which approximately one-third is
used for parking space. College build-i
ings are arranged in a circle about
the "quad"; in one corner is the foot-
ball stadium. Surrounding the cam-
pus are the 30-odd fraternities and
sororities which annually elect the
four college queens and control such'
Hill traditions as Moving-Up Day,
Winter Carnival, Hell Week and the
complex student government.
Most famous Syracuse alumnae is

Least famous alumnus is Richard

As Movies Youngest Director
(Editor's Note: This is the second in a
series of articles on Michigan alumni
who "made good')
By STAN M. SWINTON
In six years since he left the Mich-
igan campus, S. Sylvan Simon has
finished an apprenticeship on the
stage and gone on to become Holly-
wood's youngest and fas.test-rising
director.
Only 28 years old, Simon won his
A.B. degre here in 1932 and then
took a year of law. The explanation
for this continued interest in higher
education (he went on to Columbia
after he left Ann Arbor) is simple. A
bequest which provided him with an
income specified that when he fin-
ished school there'd be no more
money for him. So Simon kept on
he was established in stage work.
Biggest of the legitimate productions
he directed was "Girls in Uniform"
although his "Lysistrata" and "Ode
to a Grecian Urn" both won acclaim.
After a brief tour as stage director
for the road company of "The Dyb-
buk," Simon was signed by Univer-
sal Pictures and settled on the coast.I
For Universal he directed five pic-
tures, "A Girl With Ideas," "Prescrip-
tion for Romance," "The Nurse From
Brooklyn," "The Crime of Dr. Hal-
lett" and "The Road to Reno." !
Mervyn LeRoy, "boy genius" of
Hollywood and Metro-Goldwyn-May-
er producer, won Simon his next
break. Seing Simon's test of an act-
ress, LeRoy declared: "I don't want
the girl but I do want the director."
When his Universal contract expired
LeRoy immediately put Simon under
a long-term contract to M-G-M.
Simon's first M-G-M assignment
was, strangely, to direct another
Michigan graduate, Ruth Hussey, in
"Spring Madness" which also includ-
ed Lew Ayres, Maureen O'Sullivan
Student Tea: President and Mrs.

Wednesday from 4 to 6 p.m.
Henry Russel Award: The Commit-
tee on the Henry Russel Award re-'
quests the members of the variousl
faculties to submit nominations for!
this distinction for the year 1939.
Nomination blanks have been sent #
to each of the heads of the severalj
departments of instruction in the
University and to the deans or ad-1
ministrative heads of the various
units. The Chairman of the Com-
mittee will be glad to supply addition-
al blanks on request.
The attention of the various facul-
ties is called to the statement on the
blanks concerning the nature of the
award and the qualifications which
will guide the Committee in the selec-
tion of the recipient. It is desirable
that consideration be given to all
eligible faculty members who have
rendered conspicuous service to the
University, and that full information
be submitted concerning all candf-
dates nominated.
It is customary to announce the
award at the time of the Henry Rus-
sel Lecture, which may take place
this year as early as the first of
March. It is therefore requested
that all nominations, accompanied by
supporting material, be submitted to
the Chairman of the Committee,
Margaret Elliott, 201 Tappan Hall,

mittees and the Executive Board ade-
quate time for study of all proposals,
it is requested that faculty members

ing 1939-1940 file their proposals in
