indicated that commercial routes of
the early Greek period were under
military protection.
The structures unearthed were
about 30 feet square on the inside and
were built in the form of truncated
pyramids. The function of these
structures, Professor Lord indicated,'
was to serve as small fortresses of
the blockhouse type.
Prof. ClarkeHopkins of the depart-

Return To Classics .
Seen By Philologist
The return of classical literature
and studies in college curricula at
the expense of the social sciences was
envisioned here last week by John L.
Caskey of the University of Cincin-
nati before a meeting of the American
Philological Association.
Economists, political scientists and
the sociologists haven't much to offer
a troubled world, he prophesied, and
more educators are becoming aware
that a study of the experiences of
mankind is "as good as anything
else."
Decrying recent apathy toward
classicAl studies and labelling the at-
titude as "the softening of the college
,urriculum," Caskey predicted an in-
crease in the study of Greek and
Latin along with reading of transla-
tions of classical literature.
Papers on the more technical as-
pects of a philologist's career ranging
from "The Homeric State in Peace
and War" to "Husband and Wife in
Athenian Law" were read by leading
philologists assembled in the Gradu-
ate School.
Prof. Warren E. Blake of the de-
partment of Greek was reelected as
a director and named to the associa-
tion's committee on monographs.
Prof. Arthur S. Pease of Harvard
University was elected president' in
the last day of the conference here.
Medical Meet
To Open Here
Discussions Of Industrial
HygieneTo Be Held
Inaugurating what is hoped will be
an annual meeting, the Division of
Hygiene and Public Health is spon-
soring a Conference on Industrial
Medicine and Hygiene next Thurs-
day, Friday and Saturday, Jan. 11,
12 and 13 in the Amphitheatre of the
Rackham Building.
Dr. John Sundwall, director of the
Division, is chairman of the three
day conference. The Conference will
feature the addresses of Dr. J. J.
Bloomfield, sanitary etngineer of the
Division of Public Hygiene in the
United States Public Health Service.
Dr. Bloomfield spoke here last year
in a three day series of lectures on
industrial hygiene.
Representatives of the Michigan,
Indiana, Illinois and Ohio health de-
partments will speak at the confer-
ence.
Chairman of the Thursday session
is Dr. Henry Cook, chairman of the
Committee on Occupational Diseases
and Industrial Hygiene of the Michi-
gan State Medical Society. Head-
ing the afternoon session is Dr. Clar-
ence D. Selby, medical consultant for
General Motors Corp. in Detroit.

New Regents
To Be Seated
At First Meet
Kipke And Herbert Take
Office; Prof. Brandt
Named Relations Head
Michigan's Board of Regents will
greet two new members-Harry G.
Kipke of Detroit and Joseph J Her-
bert of Manistique-when it meets in
its regular January session here this
month.
Both Mr. Kipke and Mr. Herbert
are newly-elected Republicans who
took office on Jan. 1. They will at-
tend their first regular meeting this
month, although both visited unoffi-
cially at the December session which
saw the retirement of Regent Junius
E. Beal after 32 years of service.
Gifts Are Accepted
Gifts of $3,200 in funds and $7,363
in books and pamphlets were accepted
by the Regents at the December meet-
ing, held in the University offices
Dec. 16.
Prof. Carl G. Brandt, of the en-
gineering college, was appointed di-
rector of student-alumni relations
bureau, to succeed the late Dean Hen-
y C. Anderson who died Oct. 14.
Professor Brandt had served as acting,
director of the bureau since Dean
Anderson's death
The board also reappointed Mrs.
Edward D. Maire to the board of
governors of Martha Cook dormitory,
with a term expiring Dec. 31, 1942,
and accepted the resignation of Mrs.
Ellen S. Stanley, business manager
of the University Residence halls.
Kellogg Makes Grant
The largest financial gift was an
additional grant of $2,050 from the
W. K. Kellogg Foundation for anemia
research in Hillsdale and Branch
counties.
Recommendations of Dean Samuel
T. Dana, of the forestry school, that
the University participate in a state
program for farm forestry as provided
under the 1937 farm forestry act were
approved by the Regents.
Largest of the donations of books
was a contribution valued at $2.835
from the late Irving K. Pond.

Germany's Despotism Caused Art Cinema Offers
By Sluggish Thought,EatonSays Maxim Gorky Film

Measure Of Free Politicalt
Thought Greatly Needed,
Is Professor's Belief f
Nazi Germany's ruthless despotism'
is the 20th century product of a na-
tion's lifetime of sluggish political
thought, according to Prof. John W.
Eaton, of the history department.
Writing in the Quarterly Review
of the Michigan Alumnus, Professor1
Eaton warns that "until some mea-
sure of free political education does1
come, the German masses will prob-
ably continue to acclaim and support
any demoniac leader so long as he
appears successful."
Because of certain "deep-seated
traits" of national character, the
world's Reformation failed to bring
Germany promised individualism
and freedom-and the result is that
proud citizens of this nation failed to
discover a political philosophy which
kept pace with their superior facul-
ties of culture and reasoning, Eaton
explains.
"To an. inordinate love of theory
the Germans joined an incurable
habit of obedience to any strong rul-
er who might satisfy their impatient
and grandiose expectations, and for
the miracle they were prepared to
pay the price.
"This shorter and less certain road
to their objectives they preferred to
the slower and more painful and dif-
ficult road of political emancipation."
Professor Eaton does not agree
that when the present abnormal con-
dition of affairs in Germany has end-
ed the German people will come to
free expression. Instead, he believes
that "this present state of affairs is
not entirely abnormal, but one to-
ward which Germany has been mov-
ing for many centuries."
Both the Renaissance - in other
countries a stimulus to imagination
and individualism - and the Refor-
mation failed to touch Germany as
they did other European nations, ac-
cording to Professor Eaton. Conse-
quently the forces of feudalism were
strengthened in Germany while dis-
appearing on the rest of the contin-
ent.
Religion, Rationalism, and con-

temporary philosophical movements
also failed to achieve any lasting ef-
feet on Germany, Professor Eaton
points out.
Dr. Onderdonk Elected
To Philosophical Society
Dr. Francis S. Onderdonk, mem-
her of the College of Architecture
faculty from 1925 to 1933, was recent-
ly elected to the Detroit Philosophi-
cal Society.
At his induction Dr. Onderdonk
read his essay, first given in Vienna,
on a new theory of philosophy, "The
Fulfillment of the Possible Philoso-
phy and Aesthetics."1

"On His Own," second in the Rus-
sian three-film cycle on Maxim Gor-
ky's life, will be the first 1940 offer-
ing of the Art Cinema League to be
presented tomorrow and Saturday in
the Lydia.Mendelssohn Theatre.
Sequel to "The Childhood of Max-
im'Gorky" which was given a three-
day showing here last year, this sec-
ond film was secured upon request by
those who saw the earlier picture of
Qorky'sboyhood, Dan Grudin, repre-
sentative of the League said yester-
day. Critics of the series have been
unanimous in their praise of the com-
plete objectivity of the cycle.
Mark Donskoi again directs the
same cast of actors and actrec-Ps
that appeared in the first film.
