THE MICHIGAN DAILY
Surgery Department Chairman, Retires
"We are way beyond the mech-
anistic view that removal is the
only treatment for cancer," he
said. "Today we are treating many
types of cancer successfully, and
are working closely with other
specialties in a teamwork ap-
proach to this disease."
He met his wife, Jessie, in
Tacoma, Washington. They were
married in 1917 and have two
daughters who have reared seven
grandchildren.
He attended South Dakota State
College, and graduated from Har-
vard Medical School in 1912. In
1920, after service in the Army
Medical Corps, Dr. Coller became
assistant professor of surgery at
the University. He was promoted
to associate professor in 1923, to
full professor in 1925.
He is devoted to the classroom,
and warns of hard work the medi-
cal student must put forth.
"The principle is the samd as in
any other teaching - you can't
'teach' anybody anything; all you
can do is give them an opportunity
to learn. The student then has to
do his own learning.";

"sting" the egg sack of spiders,
and the young will eat the spider
eggs. After ten months in the
Immature stage, the ichneumon
spins a cocoon and then emerges
as an adult with wings,
"One reason people haven't been
concerned with these flies, even'
though they flit around every-
where,' says Dr. Townes, "is be-
cause they are nice little fellows,
who relish attacking certain pests
and then mind their own business."
Dr. Townes has been studying
these flies for almost a quarter of
a century. He has collected, identi-
flied, and classified more than 3,000
of the estimated 7,500 species of
the ichneumon in North America.
Dr. Townes says "Collecting the
ichneumon is not hard, but classi-
fying each new species is time
consuming and difficult because
each one must be checked with
others that share some of its char-
acteristics. Then a detailed de-
scription of its morphology, geo-
graphic distribution and host in-
sects must be written in such a
manner so that it will be useful to
other researchers."
Although at first glance the dif-
ferent species of ichneumon ap-
pear alike, Dr. Towne says there is
as much difference between them
as a Ford and a Buick.
The size of the insect ranges
from that of a gnat to several
inches long. Its wings are trans-
lucent, it is thin-bodied, and col-
lored brown, black, red, or yellow.
SHOPPING:
Centers Seen
As Expanding
Shopping centers comparable to
Northland will spread throughout
Europe, believes Wells Bennett,
retired dean of the College of
Architecture and Design.
Bennett noted that the centers
will spread as middle and lower
classes enjoy greater prosperity.
Writing in the summer issue of
The Michigan Alumnuis Quarterly
Review, Bennett says the Lijnbaan
center in Rotterdam and the Len-
bachplatz center in Munilch "are
in a sense hopeful symbols."
"They represent not only the
determination to rebuild in the
architectural sense, but the will to
have the amenities of life," he
stated.

rinsing
makes the
difference
Clothes are never any cleaner than the last rinse water.
That's why our laundry rinses your clothes with four to six
changes of water. To the final rinse, a special rinsing
agent is added. It removes dulling soap film from clothes
just as a lemon juice rinse gives added luster to a shampoo.
