TRUTH OR CLEVERNESS
"College debaters are too often led
into geeking victory rather than the
truth," said a professor in class yes-
terday. "One of the Vest debaters
that ever charmed the judges in this
part of the country became so infus-
ed with the idea of the debatableness
of every question that he had great
difficulty in having any strong person-
al beliefs for years after leaving col-
lege."
The playing of hosts of petty tricks
to gain a victory in college life is not
confined to the debating platform.
Working upon the hearer's ignorance,
the deceiving through clever analogy;
and the appeal to traditions merely
because of a superstitious awe for
them-these are all blind-folders of
truth. A high code of honor in ex-
aminations; clean politics; studying
for knowledge rather than for high
percentages; and debating for con-
victions as well as for the facility of
thought and expression-these are
more in accord with the central idea
of most college ideals.
For the Opera aspirants: There's
many a cut twixt the try-out and the
trip.
Daily headline: "First University
Battalion Mustered Today." This has
a flavor all its own.

CONCERTOS IN MEMORY
Great Solo Violinist Will Appear With
Boston Symphony Orchestra
Jan. 26
Anton Witek, who will appear as
concert-master with the Boston Sym-
phony orchestra at their concert in
Hill auditorium on the evening of
Jan. 26, is famous throughout Europe
as a solo violinist, and in the five
years that he' has been in America his
fame has become as great here. He
is a man of extraordinary musical
gifts and wherever he has played with
the orchestra has had a marked suc-
cess. Mr. Witek has a remarkable
memory, having 28 concertos, any one
of which he is ready to play with or-
chestfa at a half hour's notice. These
run from the great classical works of
Beethoven and Brahms to the tre-
mendously difficult technical prob-
lems which have been before violin-
ists by Paganini and Ernst.
In speaking of the Boston Symphony
orchestra a few years ago, Mr. Wil-
liam J. Henderson, music critic of the
New York Sun, said that the secret of
the 'wonderful playing of this or-
chestra lay not merely in its being a
"virtuoso orchestra," but an "orches-
tra of vitruosi." The brass choir is
composed of Germans, who are the best
players of brass instruments in the
world. The wood-wind choir is chief-
ly of the French school, which excels
in this department of orchestral mu-
sic, and the strings are of Slavs, Ger-
mans, Austrians and Americans, the
best products of the great teachers of
Brussels, Prague, Vienna, Berlin and
Paris.
J. Maynard, Jr., '05L, Dies at Knoxville
James Maynard, Jr., '05L, prominent
member of the Knoxville, Tenn., bar,
died in Knoxville Monday following a
short illness. Maynard took his A. B.
degree at Princeton in 1908, following
which he entered the Michigan Law
school. He was a member of Phi
Delta Phi fraternity.

Structure Forms Link Between State
and Maynard Streets-First
of Bind in Ann Arbor
The Nickels Arcade is rapidly near-
ing completion. The main building
was started last March, but has been
delayed by labor conditions and lack
of material, however, the contractor
expresses hope of its being entirely
finished within six weeks. It is the
first undertaking of the kind in Ann
Arbor. The main entrance is situated
on State street, forming a connecting
link between State and Maynard. This
entrance is entirely of white glazed
terra cotta and is much more elabor-
ate than the rest of the main passage-
way. The latter has a dark tile floor-
ing laid on a concrete foundation. The
side walls are cream yellow brick, and
the sills and a narrow moulded strip
around the top are also of white ter-
ra cotta. All the woodwork, with the
exception of the doors and the interior
finish, is white, while the rest is ma-
hogany.
The Maynard street entrance is of
the same yellow brick as the interior
of the passageway. The lighting, both
natural and artificial, is very well
taken care of. A huge skylight, run-
ning the full length of the building,
furnishes plenty of light in the day-
time, while hanging fixtures of the
transparent acorn type form a sub-
stitute at night. There are twenty
shops on the first floor and an equal
number of well-appointed offices
above them.
"NOVELISTS NEED MORE RESPECT
FOR THEIR ART"-PROF. H. CANBY
"The novelist needs greater respect
for his art," said Prof. H. E. Canby
of Yale in his lecture Tuesday at West
hall on "The Criticism of Prose Fic-
tion." Prof. Canby stated that prose
fiction had been looked down upon
ever since the time of Chaucer, even
by those who created it, and that the
very name has always called forth
apology in the realm of art.
The speaker claimed that newspa-
pers with their makeshift reviews
which do not review, schools with in-
structors who do not take the study
seriously, and even the public which
delights in the reading of the novel
and short story, all conspire to fur-
ther this foolish "hereditary preju-
dice."

Plans to form a committee which
will file away technical information of
all sorts, far convenient reference by
students in the Engineering college, is
being at present considered by mem-
bers of the Engineering society. R. W.
McNamee, '17E, has been appointed
general chairman of the committee.
The general committee will probably
be divided into smaller sub-committees
which will devote their attention to
the different branches- of engineering.
At the present time the engineering
branch of the main library has a set
of files in the nature of those proposed,
but these are said to be too advanced
for the average student.
PROF. L. J. YOUNG TO OFFER TWO
NEW COURSES IN FORESTRY
Two new courses in forestry, open
to all students, will be offered for the
second semester by Prof. L. J. Young.
Forestry 24, "Forestry for Teachers"
is intended not only for teachers, but
for all others desiring a general
knowledge of forestry problems and
the importance of forests in the life
of a nation. This is a course of two
lectures per week, coming Tuesday
and Thursday at 10 o'clock.
Forestry 24a, is, a field and labor.
atory course and is intended for stu-
dents other than forestryi students
who wish some knowledge of the iden-
tification of woods commonly used for
lumber and who wish to be able to
recognize our native trees as they
appear in the forest or planted in the
city. This course requires four hours
of field work for two hours credit
and will be given on Thursday, 1 to 5
o'clock.
Both of these courses are non-tech-
nical in treatment and have no prere-
quisites.
PROF. E. de AMARTONNE VIVIDLY
DESCRIBES BATTLE GROUNDS
Prof. Emmanuel de Martonne of the
Sorbonne, Paris, gave an extremely
vivid picture of parts of the country
now overrun by the conflicting arm-
ies in France, in a lecture on "The
Battle Fields of France," yesterday
afternoon in the auditorium of the
new Science building.
This afternoon, at 4 o'clock, Pro-
fessor de Martonne will lecture again
in the new, Science auditorium, the
subject of his lecture bein "Rouman-
ia." This lecture should be interest-
ing because of the deplorable state in
which Roumania finds herself today
as a result of the great war.
