ACADEMIC SUCCESS:
Four Out of Five Entering
Freshmen Will Graduate

Approximately 80 per cent of'
all entering freshmen successfully
complete their undergraduate pro-
grams, according to the registrar's
office.
In explaining this degree of ac-
ademic success, Registrar Ira M.
Smith pointed out that Univer-
sity admissions policy calls for "a
grade of work well above average"
Metal Testinr
X-Ray Prober
Donated to TU1
The Metal Processing Depart-
ment has a new $10,000 industrial
X-ray machine.
The X-ray, which operates on
150,000 volts, is the gift of Joseph
H. Peters of the Michigan Techni-
cal Institute of Detroit. It will be
installed in the present metallur-
gical X-ray laboratory for the
common use of the Chemical and
Metallurgical and Metal Process-
ing Departments.
"THE EQUIPMENT is a wel-
come asset to the department,"
said Prof. 0. H. Boston of the
Metal Processing Department. "It
will enable students to test cast-
ings made in the foundry, welds
produced in the metal works lab-
oratory and other structures to. be
tested by non-destructive meth-
ods."
The 150,004 volts of the ma-
chine will produce a picture of
defects in four or five inches of
aluminum and other metals of
slightly less thickness, he added.
The new prober will take its
place beside a machine of similar
size and type, and will be under
the supervision of Prof. Lars
Thomassen of the Chemical and
Metallurgical Engineering Depart-
ments.

IN ADDITION to the X-ray, the
gift included much-needed dark
room and developing equipment
for the machine, Boston said.

in high school, as well as "charac-
ter.... seriousness of purpose
in intellectual promise."

THE BREAKDOWN of statistics
from a study of student records
reveals . that 55 per cent of the
freshmen complete four years' of
study for a bachelor's degree. An-
other 25 per cent enter a profes-
sional school-law, medicine, bus-
iness, forestry-after two or three
years.
Those who withdrew before
completing their course drop out
in the following percentages for
personal and scholastic reasons:
Personal (health, finance, etc),
7; scholastic, 13.
* * *
IN COMMENTING on the sta-
tistics, Smith said "the University
has a responsibility to the stu-
dent." Those who will find the
work too difficult should not be
admitted.
For this reason, he said, the
.registrar's office accepts applica-
tions from high-school students at
the end of their 11th-grade year
and reports to them on their
chances for admission after com-
pletion of high school.
Red Professor
To Speak Here
Prof. Herbert J. Phillips, one of
the three University of Washing-
ton faculty members whose recent
dismissal set off a nation-wide
controversy, will speak at 4 p.m.
tomorrow in the Union at a Young
Progressives meeting.
Phillips, who is now touring the
country to present his case, is an
admitted member of the Commu-
nist party, according to Gor-
don MacDougall, President of the
Young Progressives.
The American Association of
College Professors and other civil
liberties groups are investigating
the cases of the Washington pro-
fessors, who were dismissed be-
cause of political affiliations, Mac-
Dougall said.

acceptance from Bromley who re-
ceived a Bachelor of Arts degree
from the University of Michigan
in 1914 and a law degree from
Harvard in 1917.

ber of graduates seems certain,

Lou Ransom. The tentative list of
graduates now nhmbers 3,882
while the record was set last year
when 3,260 diplomas were granted.

Modern Poet's
Works Lauded
By Lecturer
"A modern poet must either
exasperate his reader or succumb
to him," Prof. J. V. Cunningham
of the University of Chicago de-
clared yesterday in his University
lecture.
Speaking on "The Poetry of
Wallace Stevens," Prof. Cunning-
ham termed it "piquant, beauti-
ful, and odd," and called its 70
year old author "a living myth
from an earlier age."
PUBLISHING MOST of his
greatest works during the first
twenty years of the century, the
poet reflected this literary era's
"traditional rejection of all that
was traditional in the old so-
ciety."
Tracing the poet's develop-
ment, Prof. Cunningham com-
mented on three of Stevens'
poems, "The Comedian," "Sun-
day Morning," and "The House
Was Quiet and the World
Calm."
"The Comedian" is actually an
autobiographical poem, depicting
its author's development," Prof.
Cunningham said. "In it, Stevens
traces his conversion from early
Victorian romanticism, to later
unconventional style."
Concluding with a reading of
the recent "The House Was Quiet
and the World Calm," Prof. Cun-
ningham said its less exotic lan-
guage reflected the poet's greater
acceptance of the everyday way
of life.

Local lawyers and law students
will be treated to a series of lec-
tures by one of America's fore-
most legal scholars and writers
as Prof. Zechariah Chafee, Jr.. of
the Harvard law school, delivers
the Thomas M. Cooley lectures
here next week.
The forthcoming lectures, the
third of the Cooley series, will
be concerned with problems of
equity, and will be presented at
4:15 p.m. Monday through Fri-
day in Hutchins Hall in the law
quadrangle.
EQUITY, in layman's language

COOLEY SERIES:
Prof. Chafee To Deliver Law
Lectures on EquityProblem

refers to the body of legal rules
and doctrines developed to supple-
ment or enlarge a too rigid sys-
tem of formal laws. It had its be-
ginnings in justice as adminis-
tered by early English chancellors,
and has grown to occupy a promi-
nent place in the current Amer-
ican and British legal scene.
The Cooley lectures are spon-
sored by the faculty of the Law
School, and honor the memory of
Thomas M. Cooley, former justice
of the Michigan Supreme Court
and a dean of the Law School
late in the 19th century.

Circulation
Made Easier

A simplified system of giving out
books for home use has been
adopted by the circulation de-
partment of the General Library.
To take out a book, the student
now fills out a new white request
card. When he receives the book,
he tells the librarian at the
charging desk whether he wants
to take the book home or use it
inside the building. The librarian
then makes the proper change.
* * *
FORMERLY IT was necessary
to fill out a second card at the
home charging desk to take a book
out of the library.
The new system will provide
for greater economy in both
time and money, according to
Fred L. Dimock, chief circula-
tion librarian. Students and
faculty members have expressed
satisfaction with the efficiency
of the new system.
Graduates and faculty members
bringing books from the stacks
must fill out request slips and
have them checked at the charging
desk before taking out the books.
Request cards are available on a
table opposite the charging desk.
Four Seniors Vie

Four candidates have been
named to compete for next year's

ternity Council, president Bruce

They are Stan Crapo, '50E; Don
Calhoun, '50E; Jake Jacobson and
Dick Morrison, '50. Positions to be
filled are president, vice presi-
dent and secretary.
Fraternity presidents will make
final selection April 26.
