'U' Men Record First Microscopic
Three-Dinensiona Virus Pictures

W imlls asnd WykoHf isoate Tobacco
Mosaic as Step to Further Disease Study

Significant progress in the war
against disease carriers has been
made as the result of experiments
by Dr. R. C. Williams of the astron-
omy and physics departments, and
Dr. W. G. Wykoff of the School of
Public Health, with the use of the
University's powerful microscope to
record the first three - dimensional
large-size photographs of tobacco
virus, a virus disease attacking to-
bacco plants.
Choosing tobacco mosaic because
this virus consists of a single mole-
cule, these men have succeeded in
developing pictures that describe not
only length and width, as in old-

style photographs, but also thick-
ness. Knowing three dimensions, the
actual shape of the molecule and the
virus can be computed.
"We're using tobacco mosaic,"
explained Dr. Williams, "not be-
cause we're interested in growing
tobacco, but because it is the first
and simplest member of the virus
family to be isolated. We're inter-
ested in the virus family-agents of
infantile paralysis, smallpox, virus
pneumonia, influenza, and proba-
bly the Commou cold. Since these
virses contain several molecukes,
our knowledge of the single mole-
cule of tobacco virus is invaluable."

Binder ToDiscuss Jewishi Life
In Jewish Music' in New Series

Lecture, Sponsored by SRA and Music
School, To Be First on Sacred Works


The first in a series of three lec-
tures in sacred music, co-sponsored
by the School of Music and the Stu-
dent Religious Association, will be
held at 8:30 p.m. tomorrow in Kel-
logg Auditorium when Prof. A. W.
Binder will speak on "Jewish Life in
Jewish Music."
Prof. Binder, who is head of the
department of Jewish Music at the
Jewish Institute of Religion, New
York City, will be honored at a din-
ner at the Allenel Hotel preceding
the lecture. Guests attending will
be Rabbi and Mrs. Jehudah Cohen,
Prof. and Mrs. Palmer Christian,
Dean and Mrs. Earl V. Moore, Prof.
and Mrs. W. A. McLaughlin, Allene
Golinkin, Joyce Siegan, Les Hetenyi,
and Martha Taylor.
U S. Rubber Co.
Strike Settled
DETROIT, March 19 --P-- More
than half of the 4,000 striking em-
ployes at the United States Rubber
Co. plant, members of the United
Rubber Workers (CIO), returned to
their jobs here today when threat-
ened with disciplinary action by their
union.
Production of military tires was re-
sumed on a curtailed scale after the
work stoppage which started last
Thursday over the discharge of John
Cummins, Secretary of the Plant
Grievance Committee.

Besides his position at the Jewish
Institute, Prof. Binder is Musical Di-
rector of the Ninety-Second Street
Young Men's Hebrew Association in
New York City and Choirmaster of
the Free Synagogue, Carnegie Hall,
of which Dr. Stephen S. Wise is the
Rabbi.
Because of Prof. Binder's lecture,
the Regular Wednesday Music Semi-
oar, .conducted by Les Hetenyi, will
postpone the playing of Beethoven's
"Missa Solemnis" until March 28, in
order thatdmembers of the Seminar
may attend the lecture.
Succeeding lectures on April 18 and
May 2 will feature Dr. Helen Dickin-
son of the Union Theological Semi-
nary, New York City, who will lec-
ture on the "Place of Music in Prot-
estant Worship," and The Reverend
Frank J. Flynn of the Sacred Heart
Seminary, Detroit, who will discuss
the "Gregorian Chant, the Official
Music of the Catholic Church." He
will be accompanied by a group of
students in training with him.
Littell Again to Lead
Kierkegard Seminar
A seminar in religious thought,
continuing its study of Soren Kierke-
gard's philosophy, and led by Frank-
lin H. Littell, will be held at 7:30
p.m. today in the library of Lane
Hall. Kierkegard's concept of origi-
nal sin will be the subject of dis-
cussion.s

Utilizing the high magnification
power of the electron microscope,
which is 15 times greater than that
of an ordinary microscope, Dr. Wil-
liams and Dr. Wykoff have obtained
pictures which allow them to meas-
ure shadows of the molecule. These
shadows are artificially cast.
The process consists of a metallic
element in a vacuum chamber which
actually vaporizes the metal, and this
metal, falling on the particles of the
virus, casts a shadow. By measuring
the length of the shadow and know-
ing the angle at which it is cast, they
are able to compute the height of the
molecule.
The falling of the vaporized
metal on the particle is like sun-
light falling on a flagpole. By
knowing the angle of the pole to
the ground and measuring the
length of the shadow cast, the
height of the pole can be calcu
lated.
The electron microscope differs
from an ordinary microscope because
it uses the wave lengths of electrons
instead of light. A tungsten fila-
ment, four-thousandths of an inch
in diameter, is heated until electrons
flow from it. These electrons, parti-
cles of electricity, pass through the
instrument as sunrays pass through
a microscope. Due to their very short
wave-lengths, the electrons form pic-
tures which are sharp, and hence can
be magnified as much as 100,000
times.
Emile Sargent
To Speak Today
Lecture Will Be on
Nursing Opportunities
Director of Detroit Visiting Nurses
Association and chairman of the
Michigan Nursing Council for War
Service, Emile Sargent will speak on
"Nursing on the Home and Battle-
ront" at 8 p.m. today in the Kel-
logg Auditorium.
The meeting was arranged by Pa-
tricia Walsh, Washtenaw County rep-
resentative of the state nursing coun-
cil. Miss Walsh urges all college stu-
dents to attend the lecture so that
they can learn about the opportuni-
ties for college graduates in the field
of nursing.
"Since nursing is the only profes-
sion open only to women, college
women should be particularly in-
terested in the field," Miss Walsh
stated. There are opportunities for
women in nursing in the teaching,
psychological, sociological, and pub-
lic health aspects of the field, in
addition to the routine hospital work,1
she pointed out.

Jewish Life in Jewish Music
BY PROFESSOR A. W. BINDER
OF THE JEWISH INSTITUTE OF RELIGION
Mr. Binder is Director of the Department of Music of the
Young Men's Hebrew Association, conducting the Y.M.H.A.
Music School, the Jewish Choral Society, and the Y..M.H.A.
Symphony Orchestra. He received his musical education under
Professors Mason and Rybner at Columbia University, where in
1917 he was awarded the Mosenthal Fellowship in Composition.
While in Palestine, 1925, he published his collection of the
Songs of New Palestine and the Chalutsim, the first collection
ever to be made. When he returned to Palestine in 1931, he
brought with him for performance a clarinet-quintet, art songs
set to Hebrew texts, and an overture "Ha-Chalutsim." This was
the first time in the history of musical life in Palestine that a
Jewish composer had presented the premiere of a Jewish orches-
tral work there. The concerts were given by the Palestine
Symphonic Assembly, under Mr. Binder's direction, in both
Tel-Aviv and Jerusalem.
Mr. Binder discovered in a study at this time, that the folk
song in the Land of Israel was gradually taking a definite form,
with a marked note of originality in the melodic line - the new
indication being a combination of the old Jewish liturgical
melody, Yemenite and Arabic figures.
Mr. Binder's lecture-recitals have attracted great audiences

The Place of Music
inProtestnt Worshi
BY DR. HELEN A. DICKINSON
OF UNION THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY
Mrs. Dickinson and her husband (Dr. Clarence Dickinson)
are the well-known directors of the School of Sacred Music at
Union Theological Seminary, New York City. They have
trained hundreds of music directors and artists in the Protestant
churches, and many have come to them from the School of
Music on this campus.
Mrs. Dickinson is the lecturer of the duo, and a brilliant
student and writer as well. Among her books are "German
Masters of Art," "A Treasury of Worship," "Excursions in
Musical History,' and with her husband - "Troubadour Songs,"
"A Choirmaster's Guide," "The Choir Loft and the Pulpit."
She has translated or written the texts for about two hundred
of the choral numbers in the series, "Sacred Choruses, Ancient
and Modern."
Mrs. Dickinson was the first woman to be admitted to Philos-
ophy in Heidelberg University, taking her doctorate under Kuno
Fischer, the great historian of philosophy. She has traveled
