LIBRARY WORK IN
WAR DECRIBE

OR, WINTER TELLS,
OF GREEK CULTURE
Says Purpose of Exhibit is to Make
American People Famiiar With
Modern Greece
SLIDES SHOW VIEWS OF RUINS
IN ANCIENT CITY OF 'ATHENS
Many features of interest in the
Greek government exhibit, now being
shown in Alumni Memorial hall, were
discussed by Dr. John G. Winter, pro-
fessor of Greek and Latin, in his illus-
trated lecture given at 5 o'clock yes-
terday afternoon in the Natural Sci-
ence auditorium. d t
Professor Winter said the people of
the United States are too often accus-
tomed to think of Greece as a far-off,
inaccessible country, and that the pur-
pose of the Greek government in send-
ing the exhibit to America was to
make the people of this country more
familiar with modern Greece.
Trip to Greece Reasonable
Professor Winter said the cost of a
trip to Greece was not much greater.
than that of a trip to California, and
remarked that if more people traveled
to the former place they would find a
flourishing civilization and relics of a
past glory well worth their time.
"Greece was the first of the Balkan
countries to secure freedom from the
Turkish empire," stated Professor
Winter. "The first centennial of Greek
independence will be celebrated next
year."
As the slides were presented Pro-
fessor Winter connected them with the
exhibit and explained their historical
importance. Several pictures of the
Acropolis were shown, including a
view of the approach and -the frieze.
The ruins of the Parthenon, which was
destroyed in 1687, were also described.
,Marathon, made famous by the strug-
gle between the Greeks and Persians
as well as by the Marathon races, was
presented.
Another historic spot was the pass
of Thermopyae, which was defended
by the Greek king Leoigdas with a
handful of men against the Persian
army until a treacherous countryman
led the enemy to their rear.
Mt. Olympus shown
In another slide was shown the city
of Delphi, where Greeks went in an-
cient times to consult the oracle.
Mount Olympus, the abode of the gods,
now called Mount Venizelos, in honor
of the Greek premier, was also shown.
Among other pictures of ancient
Greece were the temple of Zeus, the
Olympic st'adium, scene of the Olympic
games, and monasteries of the Greek
church. "The monasteries were al-
ways built on cliffs, with ropes let
down t'"the monks as the gnly means
of ingress or egress," said Professor
Winter.
Included in the slides of modern'
Greece were views of the Academy of
Science, the palace of King George,
street scenes in Athens, Greek mer-
chants, and costumes worn by the
Greek women.

The employment bureau of the Uni-
versity Y. M. C. A. reports that from
September, 1919, to June 1, 1920, 2,414
jobs were given out to students which
netted a total cash value of $95,400.
Some students received work with-
out the aid of the bureau, making this
a conservative estimate of the amounit
that University of Michigan students
earned during the last school year to-
ward their education.
Much Money Received
The work which the students did and
the amount received from the various
jobs is as follows: For board jobs,
$69,765.50; odd job money, $4,582.30;
temporary boarid jobs, $262; room jobs,
$3,325; steady cash jobs,'$17,216; tem-
porary cash jobs, $250.
At present the employment bureau
at Lane hall is taking care of all calls
for employment, and many students of
the Summer. session are earning their
bdard by waiting tables or are earning
a part of their expenses by doing vari-
ous jobs about the city.
Importance Recognized
The University authorities have
realized the importance of this bureau,
and because Hof the extensive work
done will engage a permanent employ-
ment secretary before the opening of
the fall term.

HEART

TROUBLE RESPONSIBLE
FOR IS LAST
'RELAPSE

Walter S. Riess, '21L, and business
manager of The Chimes this last year,
died at his home in Toledo at 1:30
o'clock Saturday after an illness of
almost six months. Heart trouble was
responsible.
For several weeks he had been on
the verge of death, and there were
several rumors to the effect that he
had died. Late in the first semester
Riess was taken ill with influenza, and
although he confined himself for a
short time, it was not sufficient to let
him recover, and he suffered a relapse
which caused a nervous breakdown.
He went home for a week's rest, but
returning to school although not in
the best shape, he had a second break-
down, more serious than the first.
Since that time in February, he was.
confined to his home with small
chance held for his recovery, and his
death Saturday had been expected for
some time.
Riess was one of the most promi-
nent men on the Michigan campus, and
he had achieved great success in ad-
vertising work. He holds the honor of
being twice business manager of the
Gargoyle, in 1918 and 1919, and he was
chosen the first business manager of
The Michigan Chimes in 1920, which
paper he is said to have first advo-
cated.
GOMBERG GIVING CHEMISTRY
LECTURES AT CALIFORNIA U
Prof. Moses Gomberg of the chem-
istry department is giving lectures on
inorganic chemistry at the University
of California at its Summer session.

The work of the American Library'
association in France during the war
was described by S. H. Ranck of
Grand Rapids, Monday evening in the
Natural Science auditorium,
Mr. Ranchp was one of the official
photographers and workers sent to
France by the American Library asso-
ciation. The slides, which were shown,
were ,all taken by the speaker who
said he found "Sunny France" a poor
place to take pictures because of the
incessant rainy periods.
Two MlllloIn Books Sent
The American Association, according
to the. speaker, sent over two and a
half million' books to France to be
distributed among the soldiers in the
army camps, Y. M. C. A., Knights of
Columbus, Salvation Army, and other
huts. Only one million of these books
were returned, the rest being kept in
France in the American library estab-
lislied in Paris by the American asso-
ciation.
The gathering and distribution of
the books, which was illustrated by
pictures thrown on the screen, was
under the direction of trained profes-
sional library workers, he stated.
Eager to Read
The eagerness with which the soli
diers literally devoured any reading
matter from American shores was
shown by pictures which Mr. Ranck
had taken of the soldiers reading
whenever time and place permitted.
In closing, the speaker spoke in the
highest terms of admiration of the
work which the American army and
navy accomplished in France.
SUMMER BUILDING WORK ON
CAMPUS IS BEING RUSHED
Work is"'being rapidly pushed on the
remodeling of the main wing of Uni-
versity hall and of President Burton's
home. Substantial progress is also
being made on the construction of the
new nurses' home and the Betsy Bar-
bour dormitory..
No other building plans or programs
for improving campus buildings have
been announced by the building and
grounds department for the summer.

far for the Niagara Galls trip to be
made this week-end, and it is expected
that at least 25 more will go. All per-
sons planning to take the trip should

modations have been made for only 80

The trip will be in charge of Mr.
F. W. Frostic, superintendent of the
Wyandotte schools, and Prof. Irving
D. Scott, of the geology department.

urban waiting room at 2:05 o'clock
Friday afternoon for Detroit, from
where it will go to Buffalo by boat,
arriving at 9 o'clock Saturday morning
at I uffalo.
Saturday will be devoted to the
study of the lower rapids, gorge, whirl-
pool, Foster's Flats, where there was
a double falls similar to the one now
at Goat island at an earlier period in
the geology history; and the original
point of beginning of the~falls at the
bluff at Lewiston, which overlooks the
plain of Lake Ontario.
Visit Points of Interest
Sunday will be devoted to study and
sight seeing about the American and
Canadian falls. All special points of
interest will be visited, including Goat
island, Cave of the Winds, upper rap-
ids, and the Maid of the Mist trip.
Emphasis will be laid on the his-
torical and geographical significance
of the falls,' as well as on the geolog-
ical story.

ATilIST,
FIRMS

NO ONE SELECTED YET
FOR VACANT POSITION
Successor Will Probably Be Chosen by
Fall; Big Hole. teft by
Carl's Retiring
Carl. Lundgren, Michigan baseball
mentor since 1914, will not be at
Michigan next year, the Athletic asso-
ciation announced yesterday, in con-
firming the reports from Urbana, ;Ill.,
that the Michigan man had been ,se-
cured to coach, at Illinois, where he
graduated 15 yeays ago.
As yet no one 'has been selected to
fill the vacancy, although there are
several prominent and brainy baseball
men under consideration. 4It is ei-
pected that a successor to Lundgren
will be named at least ly next fall, as
for some time there have been strings
out for an available man.
Leaves Big Hole
Lundgren's return to Illinois will
leave a big hole' to fill, and it will be
a big source of worry to Michigan, as
the Ili i nines have always presented
the hardest opposition to Wolverine
teams. It, is doubtful if there is a
better coach in the Conference than
Lunidgren, and one man ventured the
opinion that he is as'good as 75 per-:
cent of the major league managers.
Love., fo his alma mater was the
principal r\son for Lundgren's leav-
ing Michigan. In fact the salary, which
he will receive at' Illinois for coac~hing
and teaching in t e School of Coaches
will fall a little short of what he re-
ceived here.
After' Lundgren For Year
For more than a year the Urbana
institution "has been after Lundgren.
George Huff; Illinois ,coach for 24
years, retired a year ago, and it was
then that the efforts of Illinois began.
Temporarily the hole was filld by
Potsy Clark,. who has\ left to coach
football at the Michigan Aggies next
fall, and then the real drive for Lund-
gren began.
Appealing to his loyalty to Illinois
and the duty which he owed his alma
mater, he was finally drawn away, and
he will begin his activities there next
fall, when he begins teaching in the
School of Coaches.
While at Michigan, Lundgren made
one of the most enviable records pos-
sible. Since 1914 he has been here,
and in one of these years, 1917, inter-
collegiate sports were abolished on.
account of the war. However, in his
six years of active coaching he brought
one intercollegiate title and three Con-
ference championships to Michigan.
Succeeds Rickey
He began work here in 1914, suc-
ceeding Branch Rickey who had left to

MICHIGAN SUIMER SESSION
GAINS ON OTHER SCHOOLS
Figures received by Dean E. H.
Kraus of' the Summer session from
summer schools at other universities
show that the enrollment here com-
pares favorably with them.
One of these reports, that of Colum-
bia university, shows a registration of
9,500, while preparations had been
made for 11,000. The University of
Iowa has 1,250 students as against
1,142 last year.
The enrollment here last year was
1,961, while this year it is 2,250. This
gives Michigan a 14 per cent gain,
while Iowa has had only a 9 per cent
gain. The same comparison holds for
most schools with Michigan,.
