"Yes, I am a member of the Ku
Klux Klan," the faculty member
readily admitted, as he sat poised
in his University Hall office, "but
I wish you'd withhold my name."
A scene from some southern
campus? No, this was at the Uni-
versity of Michigan in the fall of
1921.
DENYING THAT the members
of the Klan were obliged to take
fearsome oaths, or that they were
compelled to do. whatever they
were commanded to do by high
officials of the order, the name-
less professor continued, "As I
understand it, the Klan is an or-
ganization of true American men,
who want the laws of America to
express the true fundamental
principles and to enforce these
laws strictly and without fear or
favor."
The professor was not the
only upholder of the Klan in
Ann Arbor. Three other' promi-
nent members of the faculty,
secretly confided to a Daily re-
porter that they were members
of the Klan.
. Each of the faculty men placed
the lowest number of Klansmen
in the area at 50. Another Daily
source placed the figure closer to
200.
Tracing the. origin of the Klan
on the Michigan campus, a mem-
ber of the organization reported
that Klansmen, among them an
alumnus, had come to the Univer-
sity during 'the preceding winter
and spring and "quietly, effec-
tively, built a powerful organiza-
tion.' * *
VARIOUS COMMENTS were
made about the chalk "KKK's"
which then appeared periodically
on walks. But, the Daily theorized,
"Small boys like to make chalk
marks. KKK in an attractive
combination to letter."
Even in 1921, there was opposi-
tion to the Ku Klux Klan. In an
article appearing in the Detroit
Free Press, Dean Henry M. Bates
of the Law School made an elo-
quent appeal against the Klan,
which was nationally reprinted.
The New York World, credited
with the origin of the campaign
against the Klan, wired him to
compliment him on "the best
interview against the Klan that
we have seen."
Prof. Ulrich B. Phillips of the
history department commented,
"An organization which deems it
necessary to exist in secret has no
reason for existing except in ex-
traordinary times."

Clare Sheppard's band will lend
atmosphere for the Union mem-
bership dance from 9 to 12 to-
night in the Union ballroom.
Sheppard promises the latest

Faculty Discusses Good Teaching Qualities
"What makes good college teach-
ing?"
Five faculty members, chosen
for their reputation as superior
instructors, attempted to answer
this question yesterday at a forum
in the Rackham Amphitheater.
PROF. CLAYTON HILL, of the
business administration school
opened the discussion, which cen-
tered around the formulation of
a list of qualifications for college
teachers, by stressing that as-
signments should allow the stu-
dent to g'et practice - and exper-
ience in thinking for himself.
Careful organization and prep-
aration of material for each,
class meeting was cited as an-
other important item for teach-
ing, by Prof. Sidney Fine of the
history department.
A third point presented was that
the instructor should be friendly,
democratic, tolerant, and helpful
in relation with his students. Prof.
Hazel Losh of the astronomy de-
partment, suggested that ap-
proachability be added to this list.
Hav1i1g sent three sons to the
University, Prof. Walter Sadler, of
the civil engineering department
felt he understood "the difficul
ties most often met by college
students in their work." The prime
problem, he felt, was the amount
of homework,
An additional quality was men-
tioned by Prof. Frank X. Braun of
the German department who-
pointed out that teachers should
have high ideals.
Prof. Algo D. Henderson of the
civil engineering department acted
as chairman and moderator of the
forum, which was the first in a
series of five on College and Uni-
versity Teaching.
