Cross Talks on "The Story of A lmeriCan Painting" Before Enthusiastic Audience HAZY SLIDES WERE SHIOWN Before an audience that filled the auditorium of the natural science building to overflowing, Prof. H. R. Cross, of the Fine Arts department, delivered the fourth lecture of the series of summer school features. Taking as his subject, "The Story of American Painting," Prof. Cross pro- ceeded to show how the principles of American painting have developed from the portarit painters of Revolu- tionary times to modern impression- ists such as Childe Bassan. Prof. Cross divided the periods of American art into three classes, 1st, the Revolutionary art featured by such men as West, Stuart and Trumbull. When Stuart's Athenaeum portrait of Washington was thrown upon the screen, such a sweep of applause burst forth from the audience, that Prof. Cross had to stop until it was stilled. In the second division of American art such names are featured as Homer Winslow with his realistic pictures of the grim Atlantic, and George Inness' nature scenes.such as "Autumn Oaks." Other great men whve can call our own in this period, though they are so cosmopolitan as to belong to almost any period and race, are: Whistler and Sargoant. The modern period is featured by many artists worthy of prominence as: Alexander, Thayer, Walter. Alexand- er's pot of Basil is a picture known to all Americans. Redfield's landscapes are commonly known to all lovers of New England scenery. In the ranks of the illustrators we must not forget such men as Maxfield Parish, whose delightfully fantastic scenes have delighted people the world over. "Joseph Pennell is an illustrator whose works are not to be lost sight of in the big mass,' said Prof. Cross at the close. "The Americans are pro- ducing great painters every day, and It is we, the people, who must co-oper- ate'wth them to help America come into her highest realm of artistic achievement." Victors" To Lead Boys OfThe 31st Mrs. M. X. Root and A. A. Times-News Send Scores of Song to Major Wilson at Grayling Two complete scores of "The Vic- tors," Michigan's most popular foot- bail song, were sent to the Thirty-first regiment at Grayling by Mrs. M. M. Root'on the Fourth of July so that the Ann Arbor boys will not lack their favorite marching song. The Ann Arbor Times-News, not knowing of Mrs. Root's action, also contributed to the cause by sending a; complete score of the music to Captain Wilson. If the company goes south many a yellow skinned native along the Texas border will be stirred from his apathy and keep time to the stirring strains of the "Champions of the West" Liberty St. to be -Widened and Paved' When students return to Ann Arbor next fall they will not be forced to stage impromptu swimming matches across Liberty street, between Fourth and Fifth avenues. At a meeting of the city council it was determined to tear up the old pavements and replace them with new ones. The street will also be made somewhat wider at these points. That howl sbout the shortage in dye-stuffs has been completely drown- ed by the deafening screech from the summer costumes now in evidence on the Bored Walk between the Nuisance building and U. hall. Perhaps it is somewhat in the nature of a war cry, but if the war keeps up someone will have to invent a new Maxim silencer for the ladies. Not satisfied with wide- striped sport skirts, and vibrant outing coats, they must needs run to check- ered hose, and hats that remind one of the wall-paper in tlat parlor at Gramma's. Our only salvation lies in the hope that the increasing heat will cause them to resort to those sweet simple white outfits which so delicately con- ceal their costliness.

PHYSICAL JBAININC Al FERRY FHELD_'CLUB HOUSE Sumner Gymn Course to Include Both Practical and Lecture Work; Dr. May at Head On account of the repairs now be- ing made on Waterman gymnasium, the course in physical training this summer will be given in the club house on Ferry field. Apparatus has been installed, which, together with the excellent shower bath and locker arrangements, will make the present quarters much more desirable than, the old gym. An added feature to the course this summer will be two lectures to be given each week, thus making it in- structive as well as developing. These lectures will be given by Doctor George May and will cover in the main, how to command and why, how to keep order on gymnasiumn floor and to give directions for apparatus work.i Besides these topics, reasons for the; things done in the class room will be explained and lectures will be given on general physical training, methods of teaching gymnasium classes, march-1 ing tactics, gymnastic nomenclature, ad growth and development. Books for outside reading will also be men- tioned. These lectures will be made interesting to the layman as well as to; the man desiring to become a physi-1 cal director.- The other part of the course will in-, clude both indoor and outdoor instrue-] tion, the indoor work being similar to the regular session course, including apparatus drill, marching, etc. The; work out doors will be held ion the Ferry Field track and field and will take up the regular track events as running, jumping, and the weights,; also baseball, volley ball and other games. At the present time there has been enrolled about forty in this course, with an enrollment of ten in special work. About fifty others have taken lockers for tennis and Doctor May expects to soon have the club house lockers filled.

Michigan Dash- away At End? Hal Smuith, Last of Jctigan Sprint t'1tai511, Grduates; Easen Coaches Rejoice "The Michigan Parade is over." This is the cryptic message that passed' frot college to college in the east last 'Thursday afternoon and caused grizzl- ed track coaches to smile broadsy. 'he occasion of the message was one name in a list of those who had that day re- ceived their A.B. degrees from the University of Mliehigan, the name oft H. L. Smith, of Minneapolis, Minn. Ths. fifth of Michigan's wonderful quintet of sprint champions had pass-- ed out from his Alma Mater. The parade of star dashmein started with Archie Hahn, away back in 1901. Then came the phantom flyer, Ralph Craig, in 1909, followed in 1913 by the' twin stars, "Chink" Bond and "Howdy" Seward, assisted in their senior year by the last member of the quintet, "Hal" Smith. But once in eight years has Michigan failed to place in the sprints at the Eastern Intercollegiates. That was in 1912, before Bond and Seward had reached the highest stage of their development and just after Craig had graduated. In that eight years, Michigan men have taken firsts four times, both in the 100 and the 220. CAPTAIN "HAL" SMITH Craig in 1911 and Smith in 1915 ac- complished the superhuman feat of capturing both the century and the PROFBURSEL SON furlong. In 1914, three men, Bond, Seward, and Smith, rounded up 20 points in the dashes. Ralph Craig, in conjunction with several others, holds the Eastern Intercollegiate record of 9 and 4-5 seconds in the 100 and 21 Expert on Industrial Organization and 1-5 seconds in the 220.

SCOJIPLEADS Rhetoric Ilead Denounces Billy Sun- dlay for Iils Vulgar Stateents NO STANDiARD OF LANGUAGE Raking Billy Sunday over the coals for using a vulgar sensational speech, Prof. Fred N. Scott, head of the rhet- oric department, read a paper yester- day afternoon to a large crowd of summer students in the Natural Sci- ence amphotheater, on the subject of "The Standard of American Speech," in which he appealed for the upholding of the better elements in the native American speech. The audience ap- plauded three times: when Professor Scott rose, when he concluded, and when he strikingly condemned Billy Sunday's diction and all who use sen- sational unnatural American speech. The speaker began with the defini- tions propounded by Henry James to the effect that in America the dull round of democracy works a hardship relieved in England by an aristocracy which proves both social and conver- sational. Kipling, said the lecturer, considered American as provincial, barbarous English, which must ulti- mately conform to the British stand- ards as soon as America is fully enough educated. "There is no utopian standard of good English," said Professor Scott, "to which Americans can turn. Even in England there are great varieties. Speech habits and affections acquired, especially after adolescence, are in- variably forgotten in moments of ex- citability. We should use first of all what is good American speech, espe- cially the words and phrases which are racy, rich in idea, and used by a representative group of people. Dic- tionaries are nerely a record of what is regarded as the most uniform dic- tion usages. If all people in Ann Ar- bor were suddenly made to speak alike within 24 hours noticeable discrep- ancies from the norm could be dis- covered. .

Newberry Girls Elect__Officers Women at Newberry Residence had a thrilling time last Thursday night in the midst of their dinner when Acting Dean and Social Director Mrs. E. L. Gates announced that the final vote for house president and secretary would be cast. Miss Marjorie Nicholson, Miss The- resa Maley and Miss Isabella Mac- Donald were nominated for president, whereupon Miss Maley at once asked that her name be withdrawn because she could not accept, then there came a breathless suspense-and just when suspension was at its height the dean announced that Isabella MacDonald had received the highest vote. Miss Pauline Harris was elected house secretary. Miss Harris is a graduate of 1911 and has been here for the past two years taking post graduate work.
