Heideman Richard Lambrecht William Wachs TUESDAY, JULY 28, 1919 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.

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.

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.- The New York Times.
