The building housing the collection is one of great architectural beauty as well as of scientific efficiency. It is one of the show places of the campus, although not intended primarily for sightseers. The planners of this project wished first of all to furnish .a place in which scientific 'specimens of all sorts could be placed on view for study and ob- servation by students in those fields. In order to exhibit specimens prop- 'erly they have been arranged in cases and cabinets in long "ranges." There are ranges for botany, anthropology, geology, and zoology, the last named group being the alrgest. All the speci- mens are arra'nged so that they are fully protected from fire, dust, and insects, but they are at the same time in full view of the observer. There are also large ranges for live 'speci- miens at the museum, over fifteen hun- dred mice, fourteen sub-species of the deer mouse, and a large display of live squirrels being included. Exhibits Vary While most of the museum is devot- ed to study and research, there are also two exhibit halls containing dis- plays of 'nterest to jveryone. The ex- 'hibits here, which are varied from time to time, are intended to show some single field of research or race devel- opment. The'se halls occupy the secznul and fourth floors of the WVash- tenaw wing of the museum. One of the ranges contains all the exhibits presented by the Chinese gov- ernment, including teakwood chairs inlaid with mother of pearl and many tapestries and hangings. Upon the 'same floor is the Primitive Man of Michigan collection which was as- sembled by Dr. Wilbert B. Hinsdale. Due to the fact that a great number of special and graduate students are i'n+ attendance at the University in the summer, it is believed that many vis- itors will be seen at the new Museum during the session. The exhibits should be of special interest to all stu- dents in science course's.

' Tomorrow Mr. Hoover will attend with Mrs. Hoover quaint Quaker church here and then remain the rest of the day at his home,, probably en- joying a respite from the heat in the spacious garden at the rear of the residence.

As further insurance against a dis- orderly election day, no civilian will be permitted to bear arms. The A- loons were closed last night and the Republic is to continue dry until Mon- day morning. Besides the presidential election senatorsand representatives are to be chosen for the national legislature and there are to be elections for gov- ernors and legislatures in several of the states. General Obregon will be the first President under the new constitution to be chosen for a term of six years. This is two years more than was pro- vided until a recent amendment was enacted extending the presidential' term.

DRYS PREPARE. TO FIGHT SMITH (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, June 30-As wearyl Democrats journeyed homeward from the national convention today they were confronted with an appeal to the irreconcilable "dry" element of the party to "organize at once" for the defeat of the party's presidential nom- inee, Gov. Alfred# E. Smith, of New York. The sponsorsof the call, directed particularly to southerners, were Bish- op James Cannon, Jr., of the Metho- dist Episcopal Church South, who ap- peared before the resolutions com- mittee of the convention to urge that a bone dry plank be inserted in the platform, and Arthur J. Barton, of Atlanta, chairman of the board of temperance of the Baptist conven- The speaker is an eminent scholar in the: fields of Victorian literature ,and Elizabethan drama, and at the present time is teaching two courses in the Summer Session, it being his fourth4 year of summer teaching in the West. He has taught previously at the Uni- versity of California, the University of Buffalo and the University of Chicago. Is Princeton Graduate Profe'ssor Parrott has had a long and distinguished academic career. A graduate of Princeton with the class= of '88, he received the degree of doctor of philosophy at Leipzig in 1493, and began teaching at Princeton in 1896. He was made a full professor in 1902. He has edited 'several of the plays of Shakespeare, an edition of Pope, and the comedie's and tragedies of. George Chapman. The aim of the teacher of English, in the opinion of Professor Parrott, should be to impart an appreciation of the masterpieces of literature. The research work expected of graduate students is only the +foundation, he says, and is of 'little value unless it leads to,.a fuller ,and more accurate perception of therbeauties of the works 'themselves. Profe'ssor Parrott said, "Ann Ar- bor is a beautiful place and my teach- ing here is a pleasure."

INITIAL PRESENTATION OF "SO THIS IS LONDON' , 4 he thinks he can act so s the U. S. A. a little better 1 In. BY THE ROCKFORD PLAYERS IS WELL RECEIVEDI A Review By Stratton Buckt e If it is true, andi I believe that it is, that a better play than "So This# Is London" could be found without< too much searching, it is equally true1 that it would be difficult to ask for a better performance than the Rock- ford group gave that vehicle last eve-' ning. Much of the piece is burlesque+ rather than comedy. It is full of the vaudeville type of wise crack for which Cohan is famous, and many of the cracks are by now so old as to be at everyone's disposal. But there, is much more favorable than unfavorable comment to be. made about last eve- ning's performance. To begin with the play itself con- tains more than a little good stuff. It is well to do away with flag way- ing for awhile, and see ourselves as others see us. There is ample op-1 portunity afforded both English and Americans to do this in "So This Is London." "Junior" Draper, son of a prosperous American shoe manufact-, urer falls in love with Eleanor Beau- . .. k r . 4 champ on a transatlantic steamer. The 1 task is then to bring their two 'pa- triotic' families to accept a foreignere as an in-law, and in accomplishing t this task Cohan is able to poke funt at a whole bagfull of ridiculous prej-f udices, American and English alike. The show still has a lot of 'laughs, even in its senility, and it showed, us the abilities of the tockford troupe1 as a company much more fully thanj did the solo erro mn ce of Miss Kelly's last week.: Honors for the evening must go to E. Martin Browne, who played Sir Percy Beauchamp, the stiff, unyield- ing, aristocratic son of John Bull to perfection. The awakened gestures and lack of poise remarked in "The Letter" were so completely gone that one is forced to conclude that he was miserably cast last week. His play- ing of last night was perfectly finish- ed, it carried real conviction, and showed the actof capable of burlesque, comedy and characterization alike. The work of Marvel Garnsey and Robert Henderson as the English and E American sweehearts was almost equally satisfying. There was a con- tagious zest and enthusiasm about their playing. Katherine Wick Kelly, as the bas bleu Lady Ducksworth gave the polished performance that all who saw "The Letter" were con- vinced she would. After seeing her two efforts of the season one feels justified in saying that she is th most perfect artist that Mr. Hender- son has yet brought to his troupe. Paul Stevenson was excellent as Alfred Honeycutt. Some trace of John Withers was seen in his impersona- tion, but no doubt he will vary his role more im the future. Lillian Bron- son was in every way a satisfactory Mr's. Draper. "So This Is London" is good enter- tainment, and proves conclusively that the present company is the best bal- anced permanent troupe that Ann Ar- bor has seen in recent years. A highly interesting season is in store for sum- mer playgoers..
