FRESH AIR CAMP DRIVE
While those that contributed to
the recent drive for funds for the
fresh air camp deserve all thanks
for their generosity, the campus
population as a whole showed poor
spirit. Approximately $300 was re-
ported to have been taken in by
the boy tag-sellers, which is less
than seven and a half cents a per-
son- for the 4000 in the summer
school.
We cannot but feel that this dis-
interested attitude is not truly
characteristic of the ordinary run
of summer students. Certainly, a
more .deserving charity c o u 1 dM
scarcely be found than making pro-
vision for a holiday for some five
hnudred poor, undernourished boys
from Detroit.
This camp, supported as -it is in
the main by the contributions of
the students of the University,
must fail in its purpose if the funds
collected are small. A dollar more
or less might mean the addition of.
new equipment or the furnishing
of new recreational facilities for
the boys; it might mean that an-
other boy could be brought out for
a vacation in the sunlight and the
woods away from the dull, soul-
starving environment in which he
must exist the greater part of the
Iyear.
The quota set for the drive dur-
ing the regular school year at Ann
Arbor was reached and passed
without effort. Let us hope that
another summer will find the
short-session students as willing to
contribute.

GROWTH OF THE UNIVERSITY
The causes of the tremendous
growth of the University in the lasi
two decades are not hard to identify.
There is, first of all, the elemeni
of pride which has actuated the
citizens of thehstate to contribute
magnanimouslytothe develop-
ment of the institution. If there
is any doubt that the population
is proud of its university, one has
only to mention Ann Arbor any-
where from Escanaba to Detroit,
and he will see an immediate re-
sponse.
Not only have the citizens of the
state as a whole supported the
University, buthalso every alumnus
in every part of the world, witness
the University of Michigan clubs lo-
cated in every port, hamlet, and
metropolis. All of them are boost-
.ers for the Alma Mater, not nec-
essarily as a matter of sentiment
but because they respect and re-
vere the institution and the train-
ing it gives.
Of course, there have been other
contributing causes for this as-
tounding growth. For one thing,
there are a greater and greater
nuamber of young men and women
seeking advanced training today,
and provision has had to be made
for them. They have been attract-
ed to Ann Arbor partly because of
Michigan's position among uni-
versities, partly for the traditions'
here, which are long-standing for
a middle-west college, and partly
for its accessibility. But all these
causes are to be placed below thej
first. Praise, support, continual
boosting, these have made neces-
arv and have made nossible thel

Well, Mr. W h o -ever-you-are,
we're glad to hear from yours even
if you aren't able to write, and
about the editor's knowledge of

voyant.
As for the welcome to the Profes-
sor of Voice-we suppose you know
that we edit this sheet right next
to the so-called Music School and
so it really doesn't matter so much
to us one way or another. Just
come around some time during
practice hours over at "school",
and you'll see that one professor'
more really can't make much dif-
ference after all.

COLUMBIA: Masterworks Set No.
138: Beethoven's Third Symphony
in. E Flat: played by Max von
Schillings and Symphony Orchestra.
This recent issue of Columbia's is
undoubtedly the most superb re-
cording of the Eroica available.
Max von Schillings is a very wise
conductor of Beethoven.
. His first movement is played
magnificently. The rhythms are
wrought with fierceness to suggest
life's antagonism. There are defi-
ant and titanically jocose moments.
But it is never so magnified (and
here he avoids the common mis-
take in reading the Eroica) as to
make a climactic evolution through
the four movements impossible.
There is no mourning in his fu-
neral strains. He plays this move-
ment not with Coates' cold, cere-
monial dignity but warmly and
sympatheticaly as an elegy. His fi-
nale is vast and the richest in vol-
ume.
ng idea
in Fountain Pens. You can select the type of pen
point that suits your handwriting by a color band on
the cap of each pen. You can get a pen that writes
like Tom Brown's by asking for the same color,
which is stamped on the pen point as well. Ask
for it where you buy your supplies.
