OCTOBER 29, 1945 THE MICHIGAN. DAILY PAGE __ as ar+ . . ~ PAGE. GRANDDADDY OF'EM ALL: Rare Edition of Stars and Stripes' Is Obtained by 1U' I A rare 1861 edition of theUnion Army newspaper, "The Stars & Stripes," believed to be the only copy in existence, has been discovered and acquired by the William L. Clements Library of American History on the University campus. This great-granddaddy of the fa- mous service paper was purchased from a Battle Creek manuscript deal- er for less than $25. In the opinion of librarians here, founders of the official AEF news- paper, "The Stars & Stripes," dur- ing World War I, which was resur- rected in the second World War, were completely unaware of the Civil War publication bearing the same name. A small, four-page handset paper, it was published Nov. 9, 1861, by members of the Illinois Volunteers in a captured printing plant at Bloomfield, Mo., after Union soldiers chased the Confederates out of town. It is labled "Vol. 1, No. 1" but whether or not subsequent issues were pub- lished is not known. That the newspaper plant was taken with little formality is evident from reading the paper. "Through the distinguished kindness of our commander, Col. R. J. Olgesby," the soldiers wrote, "we are permitted to take temporary possession of the Bloomfield Herald and print a news- paper." The GI sense of humor wasn't exactly lacking among Civil War soldiers. Under their "obituary" column they printed this note: "DIED - A Natural Death - in Bloomfield, Mo., Nov. 9, 1861, the last spark of seccession. The last rights will be paid to its remains at Spring Hill today by the Illinois Vol- unteers, under the command of Col. R. J. Olgesby." The advertisements made good reading, too. One Union soldier pen- ned this offering: "AUCTION SALE-Offering a var- ied assortment of the latest styles of Southern Confederate Bonds put up in lots to suit the purchasers. For sale by Col. Olgesby's soldiers on the premises." Back to Normal In Law School Is Predicted At least one University college will return almost completely "to normal" this term. More than 150 new students are expected in the University Law School, and with the group already enrolled returning, it would be safe to predict that the usual pre-war group of prospective lawyers will be out in the quad pitching pennies, weather permitting. We are informed that Law School is all work from the word go, but with a goodly number of lawyers liv- ing between S. t niversity and Mon- roe Streets, we would hazard a guess that the Lawyers Club of old will again flourish. The Daily was informed of the rel- atively great influx of law students by a couple of local pub operators who, foreseeing a business decline due to armed forces demobilization, scouted around in an attempt to dis- cover a ready market for their wares. More prospective attorneys are ex- pected to be admitted to the quad when the Judge Advocate General program is discontinued, Jan. 26th. U. S. University for War Service FOR INVALUABLE SERVICE Government Commends THIS IS the architect's air view of the planned addition to the East Quadrangle, which will front on E. University and extend to Hill St. No 'Ensians Yet . . . No, the 1945 Michiganensian is not ready for distribution yet.

Drs. aber ryeus Resume 'Teaching Posts This Term * * * Two University facualy members, outstanding authorities in their fields, serving in important federal government posts during the war, will resume their teaching duties here during the fall semester. They are: Dr. Lawrence Preuss of the political science department and Dr. William Haber of the economics department. Dr. Preuss was granted a leave in 1942 to serve in the State Depart- ment. He has served as a member of the United States War Crimes Commission and attended both the Dumbarton Oaks and the San Fran- cisco Conferences in an advisory ca- pacity. Before his return to the University, Dr. Haber was director of manpower in the Office of War Mobilization and Reconversion. He has also been on leave since 1942. (Continued from Page 1) the houses is expected to eat up most of this grant. Each unit will be completely fur- nished and will have a gas stove, ice refrigerator and oil heat. All utili- ties, except fuel oil, will be furnished by the University. The City of Ann Arbor has agreed to furnish water and sewage dis- posal facilities on the condition that the entire project be removed within three years. By that time, if not sooner, the University's post- war building program which en- tails extensive additions to dormi- tories, will be completed. Work Is Started on Apartment Project Preliminary site construction on the married-students apartment pro- ject, to be located near University Hospital, has begun with the project scheduled to be started sometime next year. Under present plans there will be eight apartment buildings with 22 apartments. Estimated cost of the project is $600,000. Dr. Edmonson Addresses ACE In Washington. Dr. James B. Edmonson, dean of the University's School of Education, suggested to the American Council on Education that just as the Nazis used schools for their own wartime practices, America should turn to its schools to develop a real appreciation of the brotherhood of man, the one- ness of the world and the inhumanity of war. Dr. Edmonson addressed a special meeting of the Council convened in Washington to consider the formu- lation of an educational and cultural organization of the United Nations. Much of the present instruction in our schools, Edmonson said, tends to deepen prejudices and pre- pare children and youth to expect disagreements, quarrels and even war. "If our schools are to make a maxi- mum contribution to peace," Edmon- son said, "the histories used in our schools and those of most other coun- tries must be re-written, with em- phasis on the common purposes, dreams, and achievements of man- kind rather than on their past disa- greements and quarrels." Deploring the teaching of geogra- phy and history in such a way as to develop a national pride and loyalty based on contempt for other nations and their peoples, Edmonson offered these suggestions: Geographies must give more re- liable information without stress- ing particularly the wealth, bigness and power of one or two countries. Schools must place increased em- phasis on the interdependence of the peoples of the world. Older students must be given an opportunity to discuss honestly and frankly the forms of government, culture, religions and the ways of liv- ing of other peoples. Children and youth must be led to believe that, the wellbeing of other peoples is a matter of real concern to them. Dr. Edmonson pointed out that to accomplish their potential contribu- tion to world peace the schools will need a compelling motivation such as World War II furnished. ii Publicly commending the Univer- sity for work that "proved invaluable in the solution of urgent problems arising during the course of the war," the Federal government has tilted the lid of secrecy imposed on the war- time activities of the University's en- gineering research department. In a letter to President Alexander G. Ruthven, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics praised the University for its "whole-hearted cooperation" in conducting aeronau- tical research investigations under the Committee's sponsorship. The letter cited the University's experiments with heat-resisting alloys; characteristics of flow in the boundary layer over an airflow, and electron and X-ray diffraction techniques. No explanation of how the research work was applied was authorized for release. According to William E. Quinsey, assistant to Prof. A. E. White, who is director of the Department of Engineering Research, the three pro- jects cited were under examination for nearly two years. The Depart- ment handled a total of more than Prof. Rowe Granted Leave of Absence Prof. Kenneth Rowe* of the Uni- versity English Department has been granted a leave of absence for the year 1945-46 to enable him to accept an appointment for the year as head of the play department of the Thea- tre Guild in New York City. 1200 secret research projects for the Government during the course of the war, Quinsey said, but as yet is not authorized to release information about them. The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics is headed by Dr. Jer- ome C. Hunsaker, and includes in its membership, General H. H. Arnold, commanding general of the Army Air Forces, Dr. Vanevar Bush, Vice-Ad- miral Aubrey W. Fitch, and Orville Wright. $50,000 Grant From Kresge Accepted byT~' A grant of $50,000 from the Kresge Foundation of Detroit, for a five-year program in research of the heart, has been accepted by the University Board of Regents. In accordance with the wishes of the donor, the funds will be admin- istered and the research conducted under the supervision of Dr. A. C. Furstenberg, dean of the University school of medicine, and Dr. Frank N. Wilson, professor of internal medi- cine. The large number of records of patients with heart diseases will be studied using modern statistical methods and it is planned to investi- gate new electrical methods of study- ing the normal and diseased heart. r, DR.
