GIVES COLLECTION TOUNIVERSITY LIBRARIESDr. Frank W. Gunsaulus Offers Twenty-one Volumes of Exceptional Value-Build Up Weakness in Specimens of Firteenth Century Printing,A gift of twenty-one books of extraordinary value presented to theUniversity libraries by Dr. FrankWakely Gunsaulus, president of Armour institute of Technology, hasbeen announced by the library authorities. The volumes are all specimensof early printing, and cover the period from 1470 to 1514.The weakness of the University libraries in specimens of fifteenth century printing came to the attentionof Dr .. Gunsaulus, and he recently appeared at Harper library with several large bundles under his arm, stating that they contained a few bookswhich he understood might be of service and which he wished to donate.Printed Before 1914_The types of books presented belong to the so-called incunabulaprinted between 1455 and 1500. Noneof the books presented was printedlater than 1514, 19 prior to 1500, and11 between 1470 and 1479. Three The members of the faculties anathe candidates for degrees and titleswill attend the prayer service in separate bodies. Faculties will meet inthe reception room on the second floor'of the Reynolds club. The candiof the volumes date from 1470. They dates will gather in Hutchinson hall."Dr. Gunsaulus has on several occasions shown himself a staunchfriend of the University .Iibraries,"said Associate Director Hanson yesterday, "and it is hoped that others willfollow the splendid example whichhe has set. Contributions of earlybooks and manuscripts, which theUniversity, because of the great pressure for modern works used in connection with courses of instruction,has so far been unable to obtain onits regular' book appropriations, aremost welcome."The possession of such treasuresadds to the scholarly character anddignity of the library and tends togive it a high standing among thereference and research libraries ofthe country. We trust that our alumni and other friends of the Universitywitt make similar contributions."Lyman Gives Lectures Today.Associate Professor Rollo Lyman,of the department of English, will deliver two addresses before the teachers of Goshen, Indiana, today.

"It gives somespecific, tangible thing to do for someone else, College life tends to make" one self centered. ane. thinks 'of himself only. Life in a university islargely a competitive struggle for personal reputation. He lives best whogives the most to somebody else."University spirit is not lacking atChicago despite statements sometimes made to the contrary, accordingto Robert Dunlap, who 'responded tothe president's greeting on behalf ofthe candidates..Is Proper Spirit."School spirit does not. consist ofexhibitions of horseplay, such assmashing streetcars or painting classnumerals on smoke stacks," declaredDunlap, "The pride that a studentfeels because' he is a member of theUniversity is the real Universityspirit."The splendid opportunity offeredby the twenty-fifth centennial celebration, for showing school spirit wasemphasized by Dunlap."For the first time, undergraduateswill be the nucleus of affairs and Winhave an opportunity to show theirre-al spirit."THREE l\fEN ELECTEDTO PHI BET A KAPPAJames Brown Is Only Junior Selection-David Gustafson And VietorGutwillig Are Senior.James G.

Blackstone 2591SATURDA Y, MARCH 18, 1916.l\IEUl\1 ET TEUl\I.A notice has been placed above thetelephone in Snell hall requesting thepatrons of the service to cease usage of slugs. A student was recently seen filching an apple from thestand in the University Press. Theset of Mark Twain, shelved for common use in the reading room of Harper library, has been ordered to thestacks, because of the abduction ofnine of the most interesting volumes.The Reynolds club library reportsthe loss of between forty and fiftybooks since its debut, less than a yearago. . The annual statement of theUniversities librari� just issued forthe fiscal year 1914-1915 gives theloss of 49 books in the Summer quarter, 68 in the Autumn, 164 in theWhiter, and 127 in the Spring. Oneof the reasons for the much malignedchange in the reserved book systemwas due to this unwarranted disappearance of volumes needed by students in regular work.What has become of the spirit of'honor that the Honor commissionhas been instilling in the Undergraduate body? Or has the 'commissionalready withdrawn from its originalposition and become merely a court ofjustice (�r leniency)? Perhaps bythis time honesty has come to beviewed as the natural endowment ofa college man. According to psychological fact, the man who has beenproperly trained never considers theact of stealing. Habit of well-doinghas molded his character. Surelymen in a university are not so farbelow the average honest man thatthey are not only tempted to steal,but actually commit the social error.Honi soit qui mal pcnsc. And howmuch more shame to thc man who allows dishonest thoughts to vent themselves in similar actions! In a University community( and especially inone where an Honor commission hasbeen arousing the public conscience)the usc of. a sluz, the theft of anapple, or the approprianon bythoughtless students of hundreds ofvaluable books, are all parallel inthe principle involved, Whether itbe a large corporation or fellow students of an Alma Mater-there isalways a victim. And there is alwaysthe degrading effect on the wrongdoer's mind, growing stronger witheach new breech, and the subsequentshame on the mother institution who"could not Iove her Bon so wen lovedshe not truth and honor more". Students who have been excludedfrom University classes because ofthe scarlet fever quarantine will haveallowances made on their examinations for the effect of the lost classwork. The following notices in regard to this were issued last night.To all Instructors:Many students have been excludedfrom University classes by scarletfever quarantine for periods varying from one to three weeks. Withthe approval of the President thosestudents have had sent them the inclosed notification. If any of thesestudents report for examination inyour courses at the regular examination period, you are asked to be asconsiderate as possible in making allowance for the effect of the lost classwork. In a number of cases the students have been subjected to verytrying conditions of confinement,which together with the absence fromclasses entitle them to very generoustreatment.James R. Angell.Notice to Students who have beenexcluded from University classes because of the scarlet fever quarantine:It is desired to avoid as far aspossible the imposition of any unnecessary hardship upon studentswhose work has been interrupted bythe quarantine.Such students may, if they wish,take the examinations at the regularperiods; and instructors will in thiscase be asked to make due allowance for the effect of the compulsoryabsence upon the students' work.Students shoald state the facts to theinstructor on the examination paper.Students who prefer may take theirexaminations on the fourth Saturdayof the Spring quarter.The deans will on request adjustany cases \presenting' unusual features.James R.

' OPINIONS ON PLAYS OF THE WEEK"Rio Grande" by Aug',stus Thomasat the Blackstone theatre. Presented in four aets by Charles Frohman.By Howard Mumford Jones.Stripped of the exigencies of theMexican invasion, the present keeninterest in military affairs, the patriotic fervor of the orchestra, RioGrande yet remains a solid and virilepiece of work by a master hand int he tricks of the stage. There is asthe genial Percy Hammond announces, no speech which does' not furnish information, construct character, or raise a laugh-that is, in allthe four acts of this play there isno waste material. In the way ofstage business Mr. Thomas has studied every device from Sardou toGeorge M. Cohan. Rio Grande is afeast for the aspiring craftsman.Two devices stand out above theothers. The use of trumpets offstage came in with Shakespeare whoappreciated the emotional effect ofhidden music, particularly martialmusic, just as he understood most ofthe other devices of the stage. ThenWe forgot about them for a longwhile, until Stephen Phillips wroteHerod-a play in which their appearance, according to legend was actually the turning point in the manager's decision. But in no piay of recent years has the emotional effectof music off-stage been so superblyhandled as in the present play. Theeconomy of the device is wonderful;the bugle calls at first sight seemonly that ancient friend, local color;but a closer study reveals the carewith which the calls are inserted, andthe purpose of their insertion.' Thenthere is of course the funeral march.The second device is the extremely simple, yet convinclng method bywhich the departing column is suggested-the sifting of dust throughthe screen of leaves along the porch,and the casting of moving shadowsthrough the door and window----�thappropriate noise of hoofs and sabres._ All this. enthusiasm for craftsmanship in the theater does not meanthat Rio Grande is not an extremelygood play. as the average theater-goer understands the term. Mr. Thomasshares with Mr. Cohan the knowledgethat what American audiences want_ on the stage is action, and plenty ofit; but he passes ahead of Mr. Cohanin tliat he knows how to build a superb play. The shooting of two men,an attempt at rape, the marching' ofa regiment of cavalry, and a military funeral are only a few of the eventsin Rio Grande-yet so deftly handledthat you do not realize until afterward the rapid succession of happenings.Even at that, Rio Grande is notmelodrama. Sherlock Holmes wasmelodrama, though nobody was shot.The Whip was melodrama. RioGrande is not a melodrama becausethere is not one event in all the exciting cycle ot the play which does notspring naturally and easily from thepostulated characters of the individuals who make up the plot. You areconvinced that Sherlock Holmes andMoriarity are alive, but they are notreal; they are heightened. You arecertain that Colonel Bannard and Ellsworth and even Bill Hecht are notonly alive but real; they are merelyconcentrated and foreshortened. Thatis the difference between melodramaand drama of action; and in drama ofaction Mr. Thomas has yet to find hismaster in modern play-writing.I suppose all this is beside thepoint. The business of reviewingplays is not to show how much thecritic knows how about dramawhich is not a great deal. Its purpose is to state for the benefit ofthe uninformed and the cautiouswhether Lotty the Mill-Hand's Daughter is a "regular show". Let thefaithful rest assured. Rio Grande isa regular show. It has all the excitement of Trixie Fraganza at theChicago, but it has also the masterlyhandling of A Pair of Silk Stockingsat the Princess. And after all, thecritic may be pardoned now and then,when he finds a job so superbly done,for preening his own feathers a bitThe acting is all good---except Katie, and Mrs. Lane, who tends attimes to be something of a strain,not only on the Major, but on thesympathies of the audience. The complete lack of staginess about the soldiery is one of the gratifying. criticisms that it is possible to make;that, and the low key in which theaction is usually kept, when there istemptation to shriek and rant. Colonel Bannard (Richard Bennett) isprobably the individual star, notablyfor his repression when you expecthim to pace the floor and shout "MyGawd".All in all, Rio Grande is an American play by an American authorwhich has not had its match for oneseason at least, and which is likelyto wait a season more before it issurpassed.

If he needs close competition to accomplish the task hewill certainly get it from Pershingand Agar of Chicago, Hohman of Illinois and from his team mates, Casey and Carter, the former University high school star, Ames of Illinois, a joint holder of the record of:8 flat for the high hurdles, has anexcellent chance of smashing the oldmark which has stood for four years.Dismond Certain Winner.The entrants in the quarter miledo not appear to be in a class withBinga Dismond and if he breaks therecord he will be far ahead of thefield. Corrr.zell of Chicago, O'Mearaof Illinois, and Williams of Wisconsin are all good men over the distance. The half mile will be ore ofthe most spectacular races of theevening with Clark of Chicago andHarvey of Wisconsin fighting it outthroughout the entire distance andVan Aken of Purdue, Spink of Illinois and Carroll of Ohio State as possible contenders for first honors.It is to be hoped the .. t the mile willbring Captain Harvey and CaptainMason of Illinois together. The Badger will be forced to run the half andMason probably will not enter themile unless Illinois is in the runningfor the title but if they both start amerry battle will be waged. Thesetwo men are undoubtedly the peersof the western milers and a race between them would undoubtedly forcea new record. The two mile willbring such men together as Mason,Watson of Minnesota, Felton andBenish of Wisconsin, and Atkins cfPurdue.The Maroon's advantage tn t�whigh jump will be somewhat offsetby Wisconsin's strength in the' shotput. Chicago with Fisher and Whiting in the high jump appears tohave first and second places whilethe Badgers, Mucks and Becker, andperhaps Gardner will be eligible, willtake the lion's share in the weights.Culp of Illinois is booked for, firstplace in the pole vault but he. is erratic, and Fisher and Wagner of Chicago, and Huston of Wisconsin mustall be conceded a good chance.Thirty-five Points To· Wm.It is generally admitted that thirtyfive points will be ample to annex thebanner and Wisconsin appears to havethe strength to get that many. Chicago and Hlinois are the only otherteams considered in the running andit would only take an upset in' anevent or two to reverse the dope infavor of one of these two teams.
