Marcies On . .
W ITH THE DEDICATION today of
the new Kellogg Foundation Insti-
tute for Graduate and Postgraduate Dentistry,
the University enters upon a new era devoted
to justifying its existence as an institution of
higher learning.
The Institute has no equal in any part of
the world. Nowhere else has there been con-
structed a special building equipped with th
most modern facilities ff research and practice
for the particular t 'i of graduates and
dentists already in the profession.
People may wonder at the need for such
an Institute. They might say "has not the
dental profession progressed admirably without
special graduate institutions?" And of course
they are right. The dental profession has pro-
gressed admirably, but that progress has been
retarded because of the lack of facilities which
enable men who have already proved them-
selves dentists to perfect. their art by research
anda study of the latest methods.
Our new Kellogg Foundation stands as a
three-storied building devoted to graduate and
postgraduate learning. Undergraduates are bar-
red from its premises as far as instruction is
concerned in all fields except oral surgery where
they will study under the finest instructors avail-
able and with the finest and most modern
equipment.
TRIBUTE indeed must be paid to our Univer-
sity for its splendid progress in making
our campus the finest in the nation. In the past
few years, President Ruthven and the Univer-
sity have succeeded in acquiring the Horace H.
Rackham Building for Graduate Study and three
splendid new groups of dormitories. Erected
along with the Institute in the past year has
been the new Health Service which represents
one of the nation's finest student services.
It is indeed true that the University because
of the unfailing efforts of Dr. Russell W. Bun-
ting, dean of the dental school, and Dr. Paul
H. Jeserich, director of the Department of Post-
graduate Dentistry, can now take its place
among the colleges of this land as a true "insti-
tution of higher learning.".

Those familiar with the liquid beauty of
Dixie's accent will be inclined to sympathize
with the protest of North Carolina's Senator
Reynolds at the too-honeyed mixture sometimes
heard in the "talkies" or on the radio. In
justice to the cinema industry, however, it
must be noted that the South's greatest movie

dialect in, the mouths of the British Vivien Leigh
or Ohio's Clark Gable-or even the Kansas-

found the Southern accent amusing, -when
burlesqued. But this much may be said: Spoken
or set to music, everyone loves it.

By JOSEPH P. ANDRIOLA
THE UNIVERSITY INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC
AND SOCIAL ADMINISTRATION, a pro-
fessional school of social work, was founded in
1935 as a result of many years of agitation by
progressive Detroit citizens for a social workers
training center.
This agitation, under the leadership of a com-
mittee composed of the Honorable Henry S.
Hulbert, Mr. William J. Norton, and the late
Tracy McGregor brought to the attention of
the University the need for such a school
in Detroit. Money was provided by both
the Rackham and the McGregor Funds
to help establish the school. In the summer of
1935, Mr. McGregor purchased and gave to the
University the free use of the building at 40
East Ferry Street, the former home of the late
Henry G. Stevens. This building houses th
Institute classrooms and offices, and the annex
which was the servants' quarters was converted
into a library.
As director of the school, the University chose
Mr. Robert W. Kelso, a man with wide experience
and proven executive ability in social welfar
After, graduating from the Harvard Law School
in 1907, Mr. Kelso held various positions in-
cluding that of Secretary, Massachusetts State
Board of Charity and Commissioner of Public
Welfare of Massachusetts, 1910-1919; Executive
Secretary, Boston Council of Social Agencies,
1920-1929; Director, St. Louis Community Chest
and Community Council, 1929-1932; and Field,,
Representative, Federal Emergency Relief Ad-
ministration, 1932-1935. Besides serving as Di-
rector of the Institute of Public and Social Ad-
ministration, Mr. Kelso teaches courses in social
welfare.
Professor Dunham Appointed
OTHER MEMBERS of the faculty who were
selected include Prof. Arthur Dunham, ap-
pointed Professor of Community Organization,
a post which in the light of his past experience
of twenty years in this type of social work, he
is well qualified to hold. Among his previous
positions were those of Secretary, Central Coun-
cil of Social Agencies, Newton, Massachusetts;
Secretary, Child Welfare Division of Public
Charities Association of Pennsylvania; and Di-
rector, Department of Special Studies, Family
Welfare Association of America.
Mrs. Eleanor G. Cranefield, a graduate and
former faculty member of the University of
Chicago, School of Social Service Administra-
tion, was appointed Professor of Case Work. She
brought to the Institute her wide background
both in the teaching and practice of social case
work.
The other full-time member of the faculty is
Dr. William Haber, former Professor of Econom-
ics here and member of the Industrial Rela-
tions department at Michigan State College,
and State lelief Administrator of Michigan,
1934-1937.At present he is on leave of absence
serving as Director of the National Refugee
Service, Inc., New York City.
Besides these four, the Institute has a group
of special lecturers most of whom are active
leaders in various kinds of social work. A par-
tial list includes such well-known names as
Dr. Harry E. August, practicing psychiatrist,
Lecturer on Psychiatric Information; Miss Kath-
leen Allen, Executive Director of the McGregor
Fund Committee on Health Activities, Lecturer
on Medical Case Work; Miss Pauline Gollub,
Case Supervisor, Jewish Social Service Bureau,
Lecturer on Techniques of Supervision; Dr.
Maud E. Watson, Director, Child Guidance Divi-
sion, Children's Fund of Michigan; Lecturer on
Mental Hygiene and Psychiatric Case Work
Treatment; Mr. Lewis W. Hoffman, former
Federal Chief Probation Officer of this district
and at present Chief Probation Officer, Juvenile
Court of Toledo, Ohio, Lecturer on Case Work
with Juvenile Delinquents; and many others.
But a faculty, no matter how good, means
nothing unless there are students. And on
this score the University of Michigan and the
people of the state may well be proud. Starting
with a small number of students in 1935, the
Institute grew to a total enrollment of one
hundred and sixty-seven last semester and the
current semester shows a further increase to

one hundred and eighty-three students regis-
tered. Fifty-two are attending full-time and
most of the others hold various positions in
the field of social welfare, so consequently can
only attend part-time. However, the large ma-
jority of all the students are working toward
the degree of Master of Social Work which
requires satisfactory completion of at least
two years of full-time study or its equivalent,
including carefully supervised social work prac-
tice, after graduation from college.
One of the interesting facts about the school
is that although most of its students are now
living in Detroit, many of them commute from
Ann Arbor, Lansing, Flint, Grand Rapids and
other distant points including four from To-
ledo, Ohio. These students usually travel to
the Institute at least one day a week to attend
classes. It is estimated that they drive over
two thousand miles a week in all kinds of wea-
ther, a remarkable feat which could never be
achieved without modern roads and efficient,
high-powered automobiles.
The value of the school to the community
may be judged in part by the activities of some
of its graduates who include: Miss Suzanne
Copeland, Director in Charge of Training, De-
troit Department of Public Welfare; Misses
Helen G. LaCroix and Mildred Fritz, both
Supervisors of the Department; and Mrs. Elea-
nor Butzel Simons, Case Workers, Jewish Child
Placement Bureau. Miss Florence Booth, an-
other graduate, is Assistant Professor of Social
Work and Supervisor of Student Training,
Wayne School of Social Work and Public Af-
fairs. Other graduates include: Miss Wilda F.
Bolles, Instructor of Case Work, Michigan State
College; Mr. Barrett Lyons, District Supervisor,
State Board of Social Security, Ann Arbor;
and Mr. Nelson C. Jackson, Professor of Re-
search and Director of Field Studies, Atlanta
School of Social Work, Atlanta, Georgia.
From the founding of the Institute until the
summer of 1938 an excellent collection of about
4000 books on social welfare, owned by the
Detroit Council of Social Agencies, was main-
tained at the school at Council expense for
the use of all students of social work. A li-
brarian was provided by the Detroit Library
System. In 1938 these books were transferred
to the Detroit Public Library to become the
Stevens Collection in the Division of Social
Sciences. Since then the Institute has been
struggling on a limited budget to build up a
social work collection of its own. To date it
has acquired about 1000 volumes which is piti-
fully inadequate to meet the needs of the
growing student body.
To Provide Library Facilities
THE NEW BUILDING, to be erected in the
near future on the south side of Farnsworth
Avenue between Woodward Avenue and John
R. Street will provide excellent library facilities
where an adequate collection of books can be
kept, if they can be secured. 'About twenty
classrooms and two auditoriums with a capacity
of three hundred and one thousand respectively
will also be provided. This building, to be called
the Horace H. Rackham Educational Memorial,
should be ready for occupancy in the spring of
1941. It will house the Engineering Society of
Detroit, the University of Michigan Extension
Service, and the University of Michigan Insti-
tute of Public and Social Administration.
Thus the University of Michigan, one of the
greatest institutions of higher learning, which
first opened its doors in Detroit in 1817 and
transferred to Ann Arbor twenty years later,
now has part of its curriculum in this city.
And Detroit, which one hundred and twenty-
five years ago was little more than a sleepy
trading post, now is the greatest industrialecity
in the country, and is still growing! And grow-
ing also is this great state university of ours-
training eager men and women for service in
communities throughout the state and the na-
tion. What the future holds for the University
and for its Institute of Public and Social Ac.
ministration, only time will tell. It is enough
to say that as citizens of Michigan, we should-
in the best sense of the word-feel proud to have
in our midst one of' the greatest and finest
institutions of higher learning, not only in the
country, but in the whole world.

MUSIC REVIEW

By JOHN SCHWARZWALDER
The University Symphony Orchestra gave a
very successful concert last night at Hill Audi-
torium, under the direction of Thor Johnson.
Universities all over the country are realizing
their responsibilities to the communities of
which they are a part and are moving in the
direction of providing proper cultural oppor-
tunities. We may well be proud that the Univer-
sity of Michigan is a leader in this effort and
that its Symphony Orchestra is capable of
proving an effective substitute for a profes-
sional orchestra during the long periods when
none is available. This latter fact is largely
due toithe energy and abilityeof Mr. Johnson,
a musician whose insistence on precise musical
statement and finished work obviates the usual
criticisms of amateur groups and forces critical
consideration to a higher pitch than it would
otherwise be justified in assuming.
Last night's program opened with the popular
Academic Festival Overture of Brahms, which
was played with spirit and comparative ease by
the orchestra. It was a happy choice for at
-.«.. .. . - + 4nii nro 4rthe niiiip'5'n, to +h*

chestra's violins. In fact our chief criticism
of the concerto was of this same section. It
was not that the violins were not accurate, but
that their tone was not as full as might be de-
sired. This situation was greatly improved in
the beautifully played andante and finale of
the composition. Especially fine was the integra-
tion of the entire work achieved by the soloist
and orchestra. There was never any doubt that
the whole concerto was part and parcel of the
same musical and emotional ideas, and this is
probably the most often disregarded of all
artistic laws.
The second half of the concert brought forth
Ravel's Mother Goose Suite as its opening. This
was our first hearing of this utterly charming
music and we hardly expected as pleasant listen-
ing as we found. Here the orchestra was at its
best; the fanciful and impressionistic aura that
this ballet music casts was completely to its
liking and its accuracy and clarity served per-
fectly the composer's intention. The music,
harking of many sources as it does, is exquisite
in its taste and finish and is fully able to stanttd
