DRAMATIST-RANKIN
Will Give Reading, "George Washing-
ton," Thursday Evening in the
Science Auditorium
EXCELLENT SPEAKER, SAYS
LOCAL RHETORIC PROFESSOR
Percy MacKaye, who will give a
reading entitled "George Washington"
Thursday evening in the Natural Sci-
ence auditorium, is one of America's
foremost writers, and he and Augus-
tus Thomas stand as the peers of
American dramatists today, according
to Prof. Thomas E. Rankin of. the
rhetoric department.
Produces One-Act Plays
MacKaye has produced some one-act
plays that have no equal anywhere,
Professor Rankin said in speaking of
him. His longer plays, which also
have attained quite a degree of popu-
larity, are more of a poetic nature.
A number of the plays have at-
tempted to interpret various phases ofl
history. His pageants are also quite,
well known, and they have been pro-.
duced with a great degree of succes
throughout the cpuntry.
One of them, "Joan of Arc," was pro-
duced in Ann Arbor a few years ago.
He has written a couple of volumes of
essays on the theatre. They are an
attempt to arouse public interest in
community playhouses. His father
and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Steele Mac-
Kaye, were both dramatists of note
in their time
Is Excellent Speaker -
Mr. MacKaye is an excellent speak-
er, according to Professor Rankin,
who has heard him on several occa-
sions, and the audience will hear an
accomplished reader besides a popu-
lar dramatist Thursday night. The
reading he will give is one of his own
writings.
Mr. MacKaye is a graduate of Har-
vard, with the class of 1897. He has
traveled extensively in Europe, resid-
ing in Rome, Switzerland, and London,
besides studying at a prominent Ger-
man university. At present he lives

in an artists' colony at Cornish, New
Hampshire.
"Scarecrow" is Best Work 1
His best drama, according to Pro-
fessor Rankin, is the "Scarecrow."
This is an attempt at the interpreta-
tion of a typical New England charac-
ter. His best one-act play is "Yankee
Fantasies."
He collaborated with Prof. J. S. P.
Tatlock, formerly of the English de-
partment of this University, now of'
,Leland Stanford, in writing "Modern
Reader's Chaucer."

The importance industrial education
is attaining in this country may be
seen in the recent appropriation of
$50,000 annually by the New York
legislature for scholarships in that
field, and by the report by Prof.
George E. Myers of the department of
industrial education of the University
that he has had five calls during the
pat ten days for important positions
in this field. He has been unable so
far to fill any of them.
Include Professorships
The positions include a professor-
ship in a state university, an assistant
professorship in a well-known munici-
pal university, an assistant state su-
pervisorship of industrial education, a
position as supervisor of apprentices
in a large steel mill, and a teaching
position in a good city school system.
None of these positions pay less tharr
$2,500 a' year.

OLYMPIC TEAM SIS
FROM NEW YORK HARB
BOTH JOHNSON AND DUNNE ARE
UNDOUBTEDLY OT
BOARD
America's Qlympic team, numbering
230 athletes, sailed from New York
late Monday on the steamship Princess
"Matoika for Antwerp. Newspapers and
press dispatches contained nothing to
the effect that any of the athletes had
been left behind because of insuffi-
cient funds, and it is highly probable
that Carl Johnson and Robert J.
Dunne, of Michigan, were on board,
despite current reports that they
might not be carried across.
It was reported that 108 track and
field men made the trip, which would
allow six men for each event. There
are about 17 track and field events, a
number of relay teams, and the pen-
tathlon and decathlon. As there are
a number of men who will compete in
several events, this would make,,ix
men for, each event, in which case
both Johnson and Punne would be on
the team. '
Before sailing there was a farewell
reception at the Manhattan Opera
house. Telegrams of encouragement
and wishes for success from the gov-
ernors of eleven states were read.
Later the athletes marched to the
Hudson pier, where they crossed to
Hoboken and boarded the steamship.
Members of the Olympic committee
and the army officers detailed to ac-
company the team were assigned first-
class cabin quarters. Members of the
team had to bunk below decks, and
this caused them to protest vigorously.
Joie Ray, of Chicago, declared it was
nothing less than silly to expect the
American athletes to be at their best
for the games after making the voyage
under the conditions arranged.
"Not only that," he said, "but if
I those in charge had deliberately tried
to create a psychology of depression
and resentment among the members

of the team, they couldn't have done
anything more effective."
MISS CONKLIN ENTERTAINS
*FACULTY MEMBERS AT TEA
Many members of the faculty and
their wives were entertained, at- tea,
from 4 to 6 o'clock on Sunday after-
noon, by Miss Ilope Conklin at Helen

The measure, in which an educa-
tional institution is dependent on its
business administration for achieve-
ment of success was emphasized by
Mr. J. C. Christensen, purchasing
agent of the University, in his lecture
on "University Business Administra-
tion," given in the Natural Science
auditorium yesterday afternoon.
"Business or financial matters are
only incidental to an educational in-
stitution," he said, "but business can-
not be separated from the institution.
Attempts to make this separation have1
resulted in failure. There must be a
complete co-ordination between the
two branches. Educational problems
are financial problems as well,
Failure Affects Teaching
"It is inevitable that failure of a
university's business administration
will eventually affect the teaching
standard of the university. Professors
and students might attain a certain
standard even with a poor business
administration, but only partial suc-
cess could be achieved."

sities of the United States," Mr. Chris-

EDUCTION TALKS
Problems Discussed, Both from Stand-
/ point of State Normal and
University
EFFINGER REVIEWS CROWDED
CONDITIONS OF LAST YEAR
Educational problems were dis-
cussed from the standpoint both of the
normal schools and of the University
at the Summer session banquet of'the
Kalamazoo Normal club "held in the
Michigan Union Monday evening.
Effinger Reviews Situation
Dean Effinger reviewed the situation
prevailing here this last year, the
crowded conditions,and the apparent
drop in scholastic standards. One
tremedy for this defect he believed to
be the development of junior colleges
throughout the state, thus relieving.
the University of the immense enroll-
ment of the first two years.
"There is a peak load under which
the University can best do its work.
We cannot go beyond that limit and
serve our purposes completely," were
his words, stressing this point.
Waldo Completes Evening
President'Waldo of the Kalamazoo
Normal completed the evening of in-
formal talks by pointing out the ne-
cessity of the co-operation of all Mich-
igan educational forces in the solu-
tion of the complex problems now ex-
istent in the public schools
Hollister 's Class
To GiveComedy
Prof. R. D. T. Hollister's class in
play production will present the com-
edy, "A Curious Vishap," on the even-
ings of Aug. 2 and 3. The play, which
,was written by Carlo Goldonii, a cele-
brated Italian comedy writer, is laid
in Holland, and it is easily adaptable
to any time, although it was written
in the eighteenth century.
No English edition of "A Curious
Mishap" has been published, and it
was only aftr somedifficulty that a
translation was secured, from which
typewritten copies could be secured
for the class. The production is said
to be full of amusing situations and

:very human characters.
The plot complications arise from
the blunders of an egotistical but gul-
lible father and the artful scheming
of the young people. There is a love
story, and there is the usual marriage,
but not in the customary way, for
there is, "A Curious Mishap."
DAUGHTER OF PROFESSOR
MARRIES SAN DIEGO MAN

tensen declared, "has completely
changed the administration program.
Tht president used to be the sole ad-
ministrative officer. Now a large uni-
versity has deans, secretaries, super-
intendents, treasurers, and other offi-
cers, until it may appear overbur-
dened with executives to those unfa-
miliar with. the institution. But all
are necessary for the proper care of
all funds, buildings, salaries, and for
providing boks and supplies."
Discusses Raipd Growth
Discussing the rapid growth of edu-
cational institutions, Mr. Christensen
gave statistics on a few of the larger
universities of the country. He stated
that Harvard's budget has increased
from a few thousands a year at the
time of its founding to $4,000,000 a
year. In 1726 Yale .had an annual. ex-
pense of 315 pounds; today the annual
expense is $2,000,000. Michigan ex-
pended $23,000 in the year 1854-55, and
the estimated expense for 1920-21 is
$3,756,000.
Harvard has an endowment fund of
$35,000,000. The total of the incomes
of universities and colleges of the
United States is $113,000,000 annually,
with $475,000,000 invested in buildings
and equipment. The total of. endow-
ment funds for f all the country
amounts to $425,000,000, with an an-
nual income of $19,000,000.
Salaries Big Item
While salaries formerly were the
big item of university expense, sci-
ence has made the building and equip-
ping of laboratories the main item of
the present bill, Mr. Christensen as-
serted. "A few years ago there were
not many courses requiring labora-
tory facilities. Now so many courses
demand extensive laboratories that the
business side has been revolutionized
and made far more complex. Provid-
ing of funds for a state or municipal
educational institution is usually taken
care of by law, as in this state. In
private institutions this'is one' of the
hardest problems of the business ad-
ministration. Often there is an en-
d gwment secretary to take care of
raising funds.
"A proper annual budget is one of

PROFESSOR S( O T O0CONDUC
THE EXCURSION LEAVING
SATURDAY
Put-in-Bay, the place to be visited
under the direction of Prof. I. D. Scott
and F. W. Frostic, of the geology de-
partment, Saturday, acquired its name
by virtue of being the place where
Commodore Oliver Perry "put in"
after the famous battle with the Brit-
ish fleet on Lake Erie, September 12,
1813. There is a large memorial col-
umn on the island at present to com-
memorate the battle in the war of
1812.
Island of Bass Group
The island itself is one of the Bass
group. It is noted as a fruit-growing
place, the culture of grapes being the
main industry.-
The island is especially interesting
from a geological viewpoint, accord-
ing to those in charge. Among its
geological features are the 'develop-
ment of the shores under the influence
c' waves, the records' of the passage
of the great glacier over its surface,
and perhaps the most picturesque of
all, a number of small but unique
caves. Of the latter, Crystal cave is

especially interesting. It is technic-
ally known as a geod. It is lined with
large, sky-blue crystals of the mineral
"celestite."
Party Leaves at 6:30
The party will leave the Michigan
Central station at 6:30 o'clock, Ann
Arbor time,' Saturday morning.- At
Detroit the steamer "Put-in-Bay" will
be boarded, and the party will go by
way of the Detroit river and Lake
Erie to "Put-in-Bay."
The cost of the trip will approxi-
mate five dollars, according to Pro-
fessor Scott. It is desired that those
persons planning on taking the trip
get in touch with either Mr. Frostic
or Professor Scott at room 440 or 432,1
Natural Science building, as soon as
possible.
