RAPID PROGRESS:
Prof. Rufus Discusses Chinese
Achievements in Education

SCHOOL OF EDUCATION:

Increased Enrollment Predicted

Editor's Note: Three films on con-
tenporay China will be shown Satur-
day at the Rackham Auditorium. In
anticipation of this, a series of articles
representing the opinions of a number
of people, who are especially interested
in China, is appearing in The Daily.
The second of the series, which appears
below, is by Prof. W. Carl Rufus of the
astronomy department as told to The
Daily.
During our last trip to China in
1936 we visited a large number of
colleges and universities, national,
provincial and private. We discussed
educational policies with many lead-
ers in that field including the min-
ister of education, Dr. S. C. Wang.
Ten years had elapsed since a for-
mer visit, and we marvelled at the
achievements. We are convinced
that the Chinese made more rapid
and. more substantial progress in the
development of institutions of high-
er learning during the decade pre-
ceding the invasion by Japan in 1937
than any race during a similar pe-
riod in the history of education.
On illustration must here suffice-
the rapid growth of Sun Yat-Sen
University at Canton. It has the
niost extensive university campus in
the world. Chancellor Chou Lou
showed us the building program,
which was about two-thirds com-
pleted, with commodious quarters for
the various colleges from science and
engineering to forestry and agricul-
ture. He personally accompanied us
to the College of Science and intro-
duced us to the Dean. We were im-

pressed by the completeness of the
organization, the extent of the curric-
ulum and the variety of equipment
for instruction and demonstration.
We also visited two of the ten units
of Academia Sinica, physics in
Shanghai and astronomy on Purple1
Mountain near Nanking. These are
government research institutions
which are contributing their full .sh are~
by attacking modern scientific prob-
lems.
Plans were being made to move
their institutions to the interior on
account of the impending war. Books
and equipment had already been re-
moved from some libraries and lab-
oratories for the long trek. Higher,
education is now carrying on with
great zeal and enthusiasm in spite!
of bombings and casualties. Letters
have come to me from Chinese uni-
versity professors whose letterheads
bore the inscription, "Cave No. -."
Would Michigan professors carry on
under those conditions?
Grentzer Elected Secretary
Of State Vocal' Group
Miss Rose Marie Grentzer, mem-
ber of the School of Music faculty,
Was recently elected'secretary of the
Michigan State Vocal Association at
the recent All State Music Festival'
held at Michigan State College at
East Lansing.
Ths Association is a professionalj
organization of teachers of vocal mu-I
sic in the State of Michigan.

Enrollment in the summer session
of the School of Education is expect-1
ed to be far above that of last year,
due to the growing conviction that
there are new problems in education
calling for intensive sruy, accord-
ing to Dean J. B. Edmonson of the;
School of Education.
Because of the keen competition
for positions in years to come, those
who have kept up with changing edu-
cation needs will be more in de-
mand, Dean Edmonson said. That is
where the summer sessions will play
their leading role, for those who at-
tend will become acquainted with
the new methods, he added.
Summer Plan
Plans made for the summer which
have been announced are the four
week* Intersession opening Monday
June 5, a block of six' week courses
beginning Monday, July 3, and a
block of eight week courses starting
the same day.
Four workshops are being ar-
ranged, all under the direction of
Prof. Harlan C. Koch. The Work-
shop in the Secondary School Curri-
culum will be under the direction of
Prof. Edgar G. Johnston. The Work-
shop in Elementary Education will
be supervised by Prof. Willard C.
Olson. Prof. Koch will lead the
Workshop im Guidance and Counsel-
.ing, and Prof. Mabel E. Rugen will
head the Worshop in Health Educa-
tion.

in the Intersession.
A series of courses leading to the
master's degree have been arranged

brarian. The sequence will provide
a combination of courses in library
science and education.

"It is only wishful thinking to plan
on Japan's cracking. We can beat
the Japanese only by destroying
their men and their resources," Capt.
Paul F. Busch, AUS, who was in Ja-
pan at the time of Pearl Harbor and
was interned there for a short while
afterwards. told the May class of Co.
A 3651st S. U. at their graduation
exercises yesterday in the Lydia

NOW PLAYING

Mendelssohn Theatre.
Capt. Rusch said that the
mans cracked in 1918 and that
is every reason to believe that
will crack again, but that the
anese philosophy is different
that of the Germans. "Japan
be crushed," he said.

Jars Have Lost Initiative
"It is clear that the Japanese have
now lost the initiative. But the war
is by no means won. At the begin-
ning of the war the Japanese rea-
lized that we would try to beat Ger-
many first. Their chief ally at that
time was our underestimation of
Japan's resources and determina-
tion", he stated.
Capt. Rusch added that the Ja-
panese soldiers are the toughest
fighting men a.live. They can live on
a handful of rice and a small amount
of fish a day and think nothing of
marching 30 miles in 24 hours.
"The job will not be easy, but we
are much better off now than we
were when the war first started.
Our operations have increased in
scope and power and Japan can be
beaten only by force and power," he
continued.
Other Speakers
Other speakers of the program
were Capt. George G. Spence, AUS,
commanding officer of the company,
Col. Frederick C. Rogers, Inf., com-
manding officer of the 3651st S. U.,
Dr. Joseph K. Yamagiwa, a member
of the University faculty. and Cpl.
Robert J. C. Butow, top ranking
graduate.
Cpl. J. Arthur Flynn, a member
of the graduating class, sang "Ol'

Man River" by Jerome Kern and
"For You Alone" by Henry E. Geehl.
He was accompanied by Cpl. Elia M.
Figundio.
Rabbi Jehudah H. Cohen, director
of Hillel foundation, gave the invo-
cation, and Rev. Chester H. Loucks,
chaplin of Co. A. gave the benedic-
-ion.
The men in the graduating class
completed a year of intensive study
at the University. They left Ann
Arbor yesterday for a ten day fur-
lough. When they return, they will
be sent to Alabama for field train-
ing and then will be given officer
candidate training.
Miss Oulbegian
Will Present
lPiano eclital
A piano recital will be presented
by Miss Violet Oulbegian, Grad, a
student of piano under John Kollen,
at 8:30 p. m. today in the Lydia
Mendelssohn Theatre.

Oulbegian has served as Social di-
rector, today, and Dr. Esson M. Gale,

cital.

sic Society of Ann Arbor this year

The valiant contribution of those
Frenchmen who fight-not bow to-
fascism and the story of a small
group of men who risked their lives
to join that fight is the exciting
background for "Passage to Mar-
seille," which opens today at the
Michigan Theatre.
Starring Humphrey Bogart the
picture tells the story of an anti
Nazi French journalist's daring es-
cape from Devil's Island with four
other convicts and of the perils they
encounter in their attempt to get
back to France. The capitulation of
France while they are still en route
provides an added compilation.
