LET'S START SOMETHINO-
In the face of the intense heat, nearly all suggestions advocating physi-
cal action should be accompanied by apologies. , We, therefore, beg to make
our excuses before launching upon the subject - that concerning summer
social activities.
During the regular term there iare a number of gatherings and social
affairs which bring the students into closer contact with one another and
conduee to a broader University spirit. This influence, however, is nota-
bly lacking during the Summer session, at which time it is needed most
because of the so -varied character of the student body. In summer the
students go their separate ways and pay no regard to the dictates of Mich-
igan's democratic spirit.
What is needed during the Summer term to unify the student body and
to make of it a more homogeneousiand co-operative group are All-campus
mixers, interciass athletics, and other affairs of similar type. The tennis
tournament is in progress, but it 'has a very limited influence in promoting
acquaintanceships. Let's have some informal gatherings open to the entire
campus.
Let's start something.
On the Other Hand-
A friend of ours after hearing one of
the w. k. 17 year old locusts buzzing
merrily inthe trees said, "Gosh, they
sure do breathe hard through their
noses."
The Busy Arm of the Law in Saline
Things have been happening with
considerable regularity of late with
Deputy Sheriff Cook. Last Thursday
afternoon he snared a few booze run-
ners, Sunday- night he was called
from his downy couch to take care of
a couple of auto thieves who had
been towed into town but who escap-
ed without their car while Mr. Cook
was trying to get in telephone com-
munication with the sheriff's office. At
an early hour Monday morning, to
offset the loss of the thieves, he bag-
ged a few more rum runners. We
haven't seen him since noon and he
may have snared a few more since.
Anyway, this is a pretty good sort of
territory for law violators to shun,
even if one or two do get away once
in a while.-Saline Observer.

Ever wake up
Xbout 2 o'clock in the morning
And hear thunder
And wind
And see lightning
And lie awake
And wait for the rain
So you could get up
And put the windows
Down
And lie awake
And lie awake
For about two hours
More
And then
The ?*!?! @'&- storm
Blows over
And doesn't rain
Atall?

Fred Richards has a new Chevrolet
automobile and also has a new acety-

If you ever want to hear something
that has no parallel in the world just
come down to the Wolverine office be-
tween 2 and 4 any day. Some people
say that a Ford in reverse makes the
strangest noise there is, but it is
nothing compared to the School of
Music soprano who warbles at that
time. We think she is training to be
a huckster or to demonstrate some
new gargle but others insist that she
is going to announce t;-ains in a few
years. Anyway she is unique and
quite a curiosity to bring your friends
down to hear.

ANGRY SOLDIER THROWS
INKWELL AT PREMIER
-Headline.
The pen in this case seems to be
mightier than the sword.
The Sultan of Turkey, in a recent
statement said that he regretted that
Turkey entered the war. He also
said that he thought that the peace
terms were severe. This isn't bad for
the- Sultan seeing that the war has
been over now for about eight months.
The old boy certainly has a keen in-
sight into political events or he could-
n't gettoffysuch a deep one on the
peace treaty.
A headline says,, "Pastors of Eng-
land Find Ties in America." We al-
ways thought that the English clergy
wore their collars backwards and had
no use at all for the cravat.
Jever notice that there are two
heads that you can always bank on
finding in any good sized daily? We
leave the blanks for you to fill in.
LEGION RECOMMENDED
LIEUT. COI,. LU7CAS ASKS ST-
DENTS T BECOME MEMIIERS
OF LACAL POST
Editor, The Wolverine:-
I am taking the liberty of writing
to you to ask you to bring to the at-
tention of those students who served
in the forces of the United States in
the recent World War the fact that a
post of the American Legion has been
organized in Ann Arbor and to strong-
ly recommend their joining the or-
ganization.
The American Legion is the organ
ization of America veterans o the
World war. It is non-parisan and
non-political. It is not a military or-
ganization and it makes no distinc-
tion between those wno were fortun-
ace enough to serve overseas and
those who were not. Its object is, to
quote the constitution, "To uphold
and defend the Constitution of the
United States of America: To main-
tain law and order, to foster and per-
petuate a 100 per cent Americanism;
to preserve the memories and inci-
dents of our association in the Great
war; to inculcate a sense of indi-
vidual obligation to the community.
state, and nation; to combat the au-
tocracy of both the classes and the
masses; to make right the master of
might; to promote peace and good
will on earth; to safeguard and trans-
mit to posterity the principles of jus-
tice, freedom and democracy; to con-
secrate and sanctify our comradeship
by our devotion to mutual heluful-
ness."
Anyone is eligible to membership
who servedhonorably as a member of
the army, navy or marine corps. be--
tween April 6, 1917, and Nov. 11, 1918.
No conscientious objectors need ap--
ply.
The Legion was first organized in
Paris, March 15 to 17, 1919, by 1,000
officers and men, delegates from all;
units of the A. E. F. This meeting
adopted a tentative constitution and
selected the name "American Legion."
The action of the Paris meeting
was confirmed and indorsed by a simi-
lar meeting held in St. Louis, May 8
to 10, 1919, when the Legion was for-
mally recognized by the troops who
served in the United States and a
constitution- was adopted.
The object of the Legion is as stat-
ed above. Its power will be exerted
to influence, in the form of sugges-
tions, the various legislative bodies
of the country and there is no doubt
about the power exerted by some
4,000,000 men and women, properly
organized, being effective.
It is the duty, therefore, of every
person, who did take an active part
in the war, to do all in his power to
see that the influence exerted by this
organization is along proper lines for
the good of the country and the only
way in which you can do this is to
join.
There is no definite statement made
that former members of the S. A. T.

HUMANIZING EDUCATION
Very genmly does Sir William Osler suggest to the members of the Ox-
ford Classical association that what their cult of the humanities needs chiefly
is to be humanized. No man ever praised the Greeks more devoutly. "The
name of Hellas stands no longer for the name of a race, but as the name
of knowledge; or, as more tersely put by Maine, 'Except the blind forces of
Nature, nothing moves in this world that is not Greek in origin.'" Yet,
though President of the Classical association, it is as a scientist that he
speaks to these humanists as Regius Professor of Medicine; and he thrusts
his charge home with masterly skill. To them the humanities mean only
history, literature, and philosophy; -to the Greeks ,science was of equal im-
portance. And in its relation to the humanities the science of the Greeks
has a very special meaning for the world of today.
What Osler says of "Greats," the world-famous School of Literae Hu-
maniores, is doubly true of classical instruction in America. "The moving
forces which have made the modern world are simply ignored. Yet they
are all Hellenic, all part and parcel of the Humanities in the true sense, and
all of prime importance in modern education." To the student in Greats,
Aristotle is known as author of the "Metaphysics," "Politics," and "Poet-
ics," but not as a scientist. Yet, as was pointed out to Darwin and admitted
by him, "the principle of natural selection" was shadowed forth by Aristo-
tie. "In biology," says Osler, "Aristotle speaks- for the first time the lan-
guage of modern science, and indeed he seems to have been first and foremost
a biologist; his natural history studies influenced profoundly his soci-
ology, his psychology, and his philosophy." This "founder of modern bi-
ology" studied scientifically "the problems of heredity, of sex, of nutrition,
of growth, of adaptation, and of the struggle for existence." Though en-
cyclopaedic in his interests, he was a specialist in embryology unrivaled for
two thousand years. His discovery of a "a special mode -of reproduction
in one of the species of sharks" waited until the nineteenth century to be
confirmed. Yet Osler searched, the examination papers of the school of
Literae Humaniores through the past decade and found no reference to
Aristotle as a scientist. Other cases are almost -as striking. Lucretius had
views of "the origin of the world and the origin of mhan" which are up to
date with the most modern thought; and his conception of "continuity in the
workings of Nature" are "unmatched among the ancients or moderns:"
yet the fact is similarly ignored in 'the school of Literae Humaniores. The
inevitable result is a failure to grasp what is fundamental in history and
philosophy, man's relation to the primal forces of humanity and to the uni-
verse.
There is another side to the picture, the professed scientist. "The ex-
traordinary development of modern science may be her undoing. Special-
ism, now a necessity, has fragmented the specialties themselves. The
worker loses all sense of proportion in a maze of minutiae. Applying them-
selves early to research, young men get into backwaters, far from the main
stream. They quickly become hypercritical, and the smaller the field the
greater the tendency to. megalocephaly. From over-specialization, scien-
tific men are in a more parlous state than are the Humanists from neglect
of classical tradition. The salvation of science lies in a recognition of a
new philosophy - the scientia scentiarum which Plata describes: 'Now,
when all these studies reach the point of intercommunion and connection
with one another, and come to be considered in their mutual affinities, then
I think, and not till then, will the pursuit of them have value.' " Osler
accordingly proposes a modified Honor School in which the principles of
philosophy are to be dealt with in relation to the sciences, and in which
science is to be illumined by the introduction of literary and historical stud-
ies. "Science will take a totally different .position in this country when
the knowledge of its advances is the possession of all educated men."
Many minds are today moving toward a similar conception of the truly
cultural education. As a satirist of modern classicism pointed out, the
Greeks had not the slightest suspicion that they were Ancients. In each
passing century those who hnderstand them best think of them most nearly
as they thought of themselves when they walked and talked on the Acropolis.'
To us of today they are most modern when we follow their tentative ob-
servations in science, their inspired guesses as to the moving forces in this
world machine, and eke them out with our fuller correlation of facts, our
ever enlarging and solidifying theories as to man and his place in nature.-
