"Higher Criticism" as discussed by Prf. Waterman dealt with criticism of the Bible, especially of its inter- polated parts, commentaries, changes that have been known to have taken place in its wording due to the inac- curate readings of typists and a just and impartial criticism of the doubt- ful passages and sentences of hidden meaning. "In this regard," he said, "we could not take exception to Robert Inger- soll, whose charges were unanswer- able, but nevertheless restoring the Book to the realm of thinking people,. "Dry rationalism had no part in this. The Sermon on the Mount, the Two Great Commandments, etc., did not get authority from the Book, but they gave the Book authority because they were in it." Prof. Waterman is head of the de- partment of Semitics in the Univer- sity and received his education in Oxford University, England. He has brought the department up to a much higher standard than had existed prior to his taking charge, which was some five years ago. DAYTON BABBI BISCSSES JALMOD IN LST 1LK Jewish ook is Aid to Christian Scholar in Explaining Old Periods Rabbi D. Lefkowitz, of Dayton, Ohio, concluded his series of lectures on Jewish literature Thursday afternoon with a lecture on "The Legalism and Ethics of the Talmud. In commenting on the great aid of the, Talmud to the Christian scholar, Rabbi Lefkowitt said, "The Talmud fills out the period in which Jesus lived. It gives a great insight into the ltanguage of thip New Testament, for example, this instance-the Holy Spirit to the Jewish mind took the form of a liquid. Therefore the Bibli- cal expression "Baptism by the Holy Ghost." The discussion made in the year 300 is all written down in the Talmud. The work consists of 12 folios. There Is a small text and much commentary. The legalism of the Talmud is fused in the general text of legends, tales and poetry.. There is not an attempt to make a general law but only an at- tempt to shom a reason for things. "The ethical part of the Talmud may be explained in the same way," said Rabbi Lefkowitz, "the ethics are not specifically pointed out but only generally explained. Report Great Increase in Bank Deposits There was an increase in deposits of local banks foa the fiscal year over last year of $1,218,912.20. views the list of 1916 graduates and iemoans the shattering of this year's record-breaking two-mile relay team,' he finds a certain measure of comfort in contemplating what next year's one-mile relay team may be if "Steve" Farrell's hopes come to pass. At the Stanford meet this spring, the Michigan one-mile relay team ran the distance in 3 minutes 23 and 3-5 sec- onis, wlich is iaster than a Michigan team has ever run it before. In fact, this mark is but a shade slower than those hung up at the Drake and Penn relay carnivals. Of the four men who ran that race, Griest is the only one that has graduated. The other three omen, Fontanna, Huntington, and Har-j dell, will all be in school next year. To these names we may add that of Leland Scofield, considered the best' quarter-miler in the crowd this spring, but who was forced from the track by an injury to his leg. He has entirely recovered from the injury and will be able to again take his place on the cinder path next spring. Last, and most emphatically not least, and here "Steve's" eyes glisten as he contemplates the prospect, "Al" Robinson may come back to school in the fall. And it will be remembered that it was the concensus of opinion in the east last winter that Robinson was the only man in America who had a chance of beating "Ted" Meredith at the Intercollegiates this spring. , Yes, Michigan's two-mile relay team has been badly dented by graduation, but maybe a one-mile aggregation composed of Robinson, Scofield,, Fon- tanna and Huntington, wouldn't make somebody take its dust. The king is dead, long live the king! She '1 Never be the Same iartha (By Margaret Cooley) The spell has been broken and the santity defiled. Man has invaded the realms heretofore unopened to hin and, never again will Martha Cook be the same. Loud and rasping now sounds the voice of man where once was known only the sweet and gentle voices of maidens-where man was permitted to speak only in the softest of whispers. O ye ghost of the ardent stude, draw nigh with bated breath and see men walking boldly, rough- shod, into the halls where ye could never enter. For Martha Cook is hav- ing its first real cleaning. * * * * TENNIS PLAYERS, ATTENTION! There are only three more days left to sign up for the * tennis tournament. Wednesday * night is set as the limit, and if * at least 25 men have not signed up by that time the tournament will be called off. Up to the present time there have only been 17 entries and this num- ber is not sufficient to make the tournament worth while. There is absolutely no reason why at least thirty men should not be entered for this meet, as the players on the courts every day exceed that number. Girls at Newberry Residence are going to have some real excitement on one of these hot summer nights, when for Athe first time during the summer session a fire drill will be held. Plans were drawn the other night wherein it was decided that the matter be taken up at once, and tonight they will have the first tryout to get things in working order, so when the real alarm is sounded, confusion will be somewhat eradicated. Those who were chosen for officers are: Captain, Mildred Mighell; lieu- tenants: first floor, Dorothy Jowle; second floor ,Mary Louis Alexander," Katherine Chamberlain; third floor, Clara Schmidt and Ada Rogers; fourth floor, Vera Barker and Ella Rasmus- ser. The following rules are posted in the house: Upon leaving her room each girl must put on a long wrap and shoes, close her window and tran- som, put up her curtains, turn on the 1li gh ts and [leave her door onen.
