NAME WILL BE CHANGED
"Department Of Speech" To Supplant
"Public Speaking"; Arrange To
Incorporate Phonetics
With the coming of Professor James
M. O'Neill the Speech departmnt of
the Uiversit yis to undergo a corn
4Aete revision this fall. Prof. O'Neill

all, the name is to be changed again.
The department, which was first
known as locution, then as Oratory,
a.d in recent years as Public Speak-,l
ing, will now be known as the De-}
partment of Speech.
The next important innovation is
the Inauguration of a Graduate school
of Speech. Never before has it been
possible to get more than a Master's1
degree, but from now on the graduate
work will be extended so that candi-r
dated for a Doctor's degree who sot
desire can obtain it in Speech. The
graduate courses will'include a Pro-
seminary in Speech, a Seminaryi in
Rhetoric and Oratory, both underA

ment of Phonetics in the Departmentc

Teaching of Speech.1
Dramatics will be in' charge of Mr.
$arl Wleischman, who will take ther
place of Mr. David Owen, recently
appointed to the faculty of North-t
western University.t
Under Prof. O'Neill's direction the
newly organized Department of
SpeetIh promises to become even more
popular and esteemed than before.
The University of Michigan is to .be
commended on reeciving the services
of a man who is so very eminent in
his field. -
SENATORS DESIRE
SPECIAL SESSION
(By Associated Press) .
WASRINGTON, July 25.-Two sen-l
ators, Smoot of Utah, and Harrison
of Mississippi, came to the capital1
today and immediately issued state-
ments 'urging President Coolidge to,
call Congress into special session.
Both declared this necessary to get
an early start on tax legislation, but
differed over the extent the prospec-
tive reduction should go. While
Sfnoot, who is chairman of the Senate
finance committee, suggested a cut of
$300,000,000, sHarrison came out for
half a billion, contending that Smoot
now proposed what the Democrats
ad attempted at the last sesssion.
he Mississippian also made;a pass-.
ng reference to the approaching pres-
dential campaign. Although refusing
,o discuss the prospective Democratic
nomination, he predicted that if Al
mith is nominated the ,South? will be
or him. He also said the New York
overnor has both friends and strong
pposition in the South.

MORE INTEREST
IS MANIFESTED
IN SEA SCHOOL
New England and the East are in
the lead in registration for the Float-
ing University of 1927-28. The round-
the-world cruise, organized by A. J.
McIntosh in conjjunction with the
Cunard Line, will sail this year on
the steamship "Aurania," and . will
visit twenty-six countries.
So far the registrations, although
about equal in number, differ in rela-
tion to locality. Last year the ma-
jority of registrations came from the
middle West, with Missouria and
Kansas in the lead. This year New
England and the East are in the lead,
Massachusetts and New Jersey replac-
ing Missouri and Kansas. The regis-
tration from the University of Michi-
gan has not increased over last year,
but a more state--wide interest is,
evident. Wisconsin, which was hard-
ly represente last year, will have a
large delegation this year, due 'prob- I
ably to the fact that two prominent1
faculty members are going from that
state. i
California, important last year,
promises an even larger quota for
1927. The increase in the South will
be slight. Washington, Texas and1
New York City indicate about the
same registration as last year.
Registration will probably close
July 31. The "Aurania," one of the
latest Cunard vessels, will carry 500
men and women students and over 50
'teachers, who will study twenty-six
countries before their return to New
York on May 15, J928.
LINDBERGH MAKES1
OFFICIAL VISIT
(By Associated Prea)
CONCORD, N. H., July 25.-Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh paid his official
visit to Concord today and w s heart-I
Sirgeeted by thousands.."Contrasted
to the fog and wind he flew through
on Saturday and Sunday, he had per-
feet weather today for his return
flight from Portland, Maine. When
the, famous flyer tried to reach Port-
land from Boston last Saturday the
fog made it impossible for'him to lo-
cate a safe landing place, so he
turned and came to Concord airport.
As Concord had laid no plans for
an elaborate reception his visit Sat-
urday. night was regarded as unafi-
cial and he received no public wel-
come.
He flew back 'to Maine yesterday,
landing on Old Orchard beach,
whence he motored to Portland and
received the greeting of the state of
Maine. Then he drove back to Old
Orchard and easily took off from the
beach.
KING FERDINAND
BURIED TODA Y
(By Associated Press)
BUCHAREST, July 45.-King Fer-
dinand now rests under the soil at
Cuytea De Artes beside his ancestors.
The body of the monarch was lower-
ed into the grave today.
Destpite the fact that the body of
the late sovereign was emaciated from
his long illness in which he had lost
much weight, it was noticed that the
four ballbearers found the burden too
heavy. They staggered suddenly and,
whether by 'his own instance or be-
cause of prompting by Queen Marie,
Prince Nicholas rushed forward,
placed his shoulder under his father's
coffin.
Scarcely had the prince done this.
when a guest of wind blew the covers
from the king's mantle onto the
prince's shoulders.

Comparison of Wordsworth and Blake
Is English Professor's Theme
In Summer Series Talk
BLAKE DIEDGENTURY AGO
William Blake, although a minor
poet, is one whose star has risen
higher and higher since his death 100
years ago, said Prof. S. F. Gingerich
of the English department, in his lec-1
ture on Blake and Wordsworth yeses
terday in Natural Science auditorium
as a number of the Summer session
series.
In his comparison of the two poets)
of the 18th century Prof. Gingerichf
said that he was not attempting to!
4 compare their greatness, for Words-
worth was a major and Blake a minor
poet. Wordsworth is the greater poet
because he wrote by the principles
of poetry while Blake followed the
principles of mysticism. Thus Words--
wort hexpressed many of the some'
mystic ideas that Blake did, but he
expressed them more clearly, gave
to them a classical interpretaeion and
'a concrete form.
They are comparable poets, said
Professor Gingerich, because they
were in the main contemporary, had
the same simplicity' of style, visualized
what they say around them, avoiding,
the said personifications of the poets
before them, and because they were
both mystics. Blake was the puref
mystic ,but Wordsworth was a mystic
in only one element, keeping his mys-
ticism within poetic limits, expressing
his visions clearly and tersely in the
climax of his poems, and retaining,
poetic imagery. His form of mysti-j

MINISTERS DECIDE
ON INSTRUCTIONS
(By Associated Press)
LONDON, July 25.-The Cabinet1
ministers, with the assistance of Lord
Balfour, were engaged for many
hours today in considering the posi-
tion of Geneva as it relates to the
Tri-partite Naval conference. They
first met in an informal conference,
and then in a regular cabinet council
they apparently decided against mak-
ing any statement to- Parliament to-
night.
Today's council was held to convey
to W. C. Bridgeman, first lord of the
British admiralty, and Viscount
Cecil, precise . instructions for their
guidance at Geneva and any addi-
tional suggestions for an agreement,
either from the America nor Japanese
delegates, and it was asserted afterf
council that the delegates now were
prepared for any' contingency that
might arise.
