Thirlwind' Alumni Secretary To Retire
By THOMAS HAYDEN
Hawley Tapping, who's
ed 700,000 miles in his 35
at the University, will re-
in June as general secretary
e Alumni Association.
e 69-year-old Tapping, editor
he Michigan Alumnus, will
curtail his travel activities,
ver.
will tour the Far Pacific to
University alumni clubs in
Kong, Tokyo, Manila, Tai-
and Korea.

e told me to trail in with a
group," .Tapping said, "and stay
at the rear of the group, so that I
could memorize the lines on the
eye chart .by listening to others
read them."
Passed Exam
"When I.got up there," he re-
lated, "everything was hazy but
I stumbled through the first three
or four lines and passed the
exam."
After the war, Tapping returned
to Michigan where he joined the
Grand Rapids Press and became
state editor (1921). His third
break was not long in coming..
The city editor of the Ann Ar-
bor News fell sick and Tapping
was called from Grand Rapids to
fill the vacancy for a period of
two weeks.
Legend has it that the Ann Ar-
bor correspondent for the Booth
newspaper chain became "inca-
pacitated" one night during Tap-
ping's brief tenure in Ann Arbor.
That night the University's
Board of Regents announced the
gift of. the first unit of the Law
Quadrangle.
"The Booth correspondent
flubbed the story, and as a result,
the Booth chain hired me as Ann.
Arbor correspondent," Tapping
said.
While in Ann Arbor (1922-23),
Tapping "peddled a lot of yarns"
for the Booth chain. Most of his
stories "interpreted the news
through the eyes of faculty schol-
ars."
City Important
Ann Arbor grew to be an im-
portant source of news during the
year Tapping served as the Booth
reporter. In 1923, the Associated
Press sent a c.orrespondent to the
town.
"Then I knew the Booth job
was washed up here," Tapping
said. It looked more and more like
he would be-without an Ann Ar-
bor job.
And he probably would have
been were it not for University
President Marion Burton, one of
Tapping's major contacts in his
newspaper duties.
Largely because of Burton's
recommendation, Tapping got the
newly-created job of field secre-
tary in the Alumni Offices in 1923.
During those days Wilfred B.

vention and Negro Baptist groups
which have the same doctrines.
Despite the similarity of outlook,
separate identical church hier-
archies exist, from top to bottom.
Such situations create no strong
racial antagonisms, but do cause
feelings of resentment among Ne-
groes and contribute to tensions.
However, some Negroes consider
the amelioration of these condi-
tions merely a matter of time.
As one phrased it, "Things have
changed so fast that the churches
haven't had time to catch up yet."
On a more personal level, "in-
cidents" of various kinds occur.
The most publicized in the last
year has been the Brantley case,
in which a Negro was beaten by
two sheriff's deputies after being
stopped for a traffic violation.
The Human Relations Commis-
sion looked into the case, which
ended with the sheriff's depart-
ment paying Brantley's hospital.
and medical expenses, and dis-
missing one of the two deputies
involved in the affair.
In another incident, a Negro
University student and a white
woman were refused a marriage
license by a Ypsilanti clerk.
The couple were able to pur-
chase one elsewehere and nothing
came of the incident, but their ex-
perience serves to indicate a latent
source of discrimination.

ALUMNUS--T. Hawley Tapping, general secretary of the Uni-
versity's Alumni Association and editor of the Michigan Alumnus,

"Candida," the next production
of the Drama Season, was George
Bernard Shaw's first successful
show.
The romantic comedy, - which
first starred Katharine Cornell on
Broadway, is reputed to be one of
the most. difficult pieces for an
actor to execute successfully. It
requires a kind of sympathy mixed
with humor in its presentation,
qualities which make it one of
Shaw's most popular and "slickest"
plays today, although it was orig-
inally written in 1894.
The eccentric playwright, who
called himself a "professor of na-
tural psychology," is a theatrical
legend himself. He was prophet,
clown, vegetarian, Socialist and
a great believer in dramatic real-
ism as opposed toromance.
One of the keenest intellects of
his era, Shaw was so vain that he
surrounded himself with various
photographs, portraits and busts
of himself. He is best remembered
for "Pygmalion," recently present-
ed as "My Fair Lady" and the
serious drama "Saint Joan."
Shaw of the Alumni Association
worked alone. But, taking over his
new duties, Tapping became "the
real leg man"
He travelled, often with Mrs.
Tapping, approximately 30,000
miles a year at first greeting-
alumni clubs everywhere.
One of the earliest trips was
also the longest - 69 days by
train to "every place west of the
Mississippi having a University
club," Tapping said.
In 1929 he was appointed gen-
eral secretary of the Association
upon the retirement of Shaw.
In recent years, his annual
mileage has shrunk to "only"
about 15,000 miles.
When Tapping took over lead-
ership of the Association 29 years
ago, approximately 20 alumni,
clubs were actually functioning.
Today Tapping can point to a roll
call of nearly 250 clubs. He has
personally met with 200 of them.

I Considerutionu
As you get to REALLY know your University town , . . the
local shops . . . your favorite "spots" . . you'll find yourself
more and more regarding Ann Arbor as your second "home."
And part of getting "home-bred" is, of course, the practi-
cal consideration. of arranging for thoughtful, safe, and economi-
cal handling of your financial affairs.
Why not make it a point to stop in at one of our two
convenient campus offices soon? We're situated both on State
Street and on South University, with a complete line of banking
services for you. We have our OWN "Michigan Tradition," you
know, and we'd like YOU to be a part of it!
Who isn't at exam time? But the
.Oog days will soon be over and
(so they tell us) a new era awaits.
When that breathing spell comes,
maybe you should take a glance at
the future. Have you given much
thought to financial planning?
Probably not. That's why we sug-
