At the same time, DeanWilkins noticed the intellecual losswhich freshmen suffered in their firstquarter’s work and decided to prepare‘hern further Jbefore the opening of-chool by holding the customary Eng¬lish tests, which decide the capabil¬ities of entering students in English,during the same period that the or¬ientation talks were - being given.From these sketchy beginnings it wasa shert step to the development of acomplete program for the Class of1928, beginning a week before theopening of school and including a sur¬vey both of the intellectual and thesocial life of the University.At present all of the most importantphases of the University will beshown the freshmen.Freshmen Hear BurtonAt the very first,” said Dean Wil¬kins, “they will meet and be addressedby President Ernest DeWitt Burton,a bit of ceremony which is unusualfor American colleges, and which hasnever been done before here. Then,students will immediately become ac-qur.intd with the deans whom thevwill have throughout their entirecourse of residence. Following rap¬idly on the heels of this during thenext three or four days the freshmenwill be showered with “mixers,” re¬ceptions, entertainments, footballgames, examinations, features whichmay give them the idea that Univer¬sity life is much more turbulent thanis actually the case.”In preparing plans for “FreshmanWeek” Dean Wilkins folowed the pre¬cedent of two or three eastern collegeswhich have similar methods handlingnew arrivals.Premier’s Son toLead Oxford DebatersMalcolm Mac Donald, son of RamsayMac Donald, Prime Minister of Eng¬land, is to head the debate team of Ox¬ford University which will debate withthe University of Chicago team, Novem¬ber 3, in Mandel Hall.The subject of the debate is to be“ Prohibition,” Oxford taking the nega-tice, and the University the affirmative.'

Eight hundred and twenty-sevenfreshmen met yesterday morning at8:30 in Mandel hall to form the larg¬est entering class ever seen on thecampus, surpassing the record of 773last fall. Today and every day up tothe opening of school Wednesday thenewly formed class of 1928 will followthe program outlined for them lastspring by Deam Wilkins when he wasmaking plans for the first Freshmanweek in the history of the University.The first of the entrance tests forfreshmen begin this afternoon at 3:30when the newly entering students willbe examined in English. FurtherEnglish tests will be held Monday aftdTuesday next week in addition to aseries of psychological tests, plannedby Dr. Thurston of the Psychologydepartment of the University, saysDean Wilkins, “not with the idea ofhandling the students with regard totheir standing on the tests, but for thepurpo-e of testing the tests, of estab¬lishing a correlation between the sub¬sequent work of students and theirpsychological ratings.”Tests Planned by Thurston“-’''"ffHSse psycKolSgicti test's. 'wTSrCffwere planned by Dr. Thurston, arebeing used at this time in some fiftyuniversities and colleges throughoutthe United States. The data derivedfrom them will be tabulated andstudied by the Psychology departmentof the University.Aside from the necessary admissiontests, the few days before school willbe featured by “mixers,” orientationtalks, a series of lectures originatedlast year by Dean Wilkins with theintention of giving freshmen a birds-eye view of the problems which theymust face during their first year, re¬ceptions, suppers, and practice foot¬ball and polo games.(Continued on page 5)UNIVERSITY TO JOINART INSTITUTE INDRAMATICS COURSEEducation in the department of dra¬matic art. including courses in per¬sonal technique, interpretation, damp¬ing. rehearsal, and also the stage workof the theatre is to be placed in thecurriculum of the University, as aresult of cooperation between the Uni¬versity and the Art Institute.Although detailed arrangementsare in part incomplete.

If a manbites a dog—that’s news.” Perhapsthese instructions will have to bechanged now, for the following storyRecently appeared irf The ChicagoTribune:“Thomas Lynch, 19 years of age,841 Harvey avenue, Oak Park, bit adog. He admitted to the police thathe had been drinking moonshine andlater fell in with a large mongrelwhich he tried to bite.“The dog and the youth rolled onthe street, both trying for a hold.Lynch bit the canine so severely thatit had to be shot. During the scuf¬fle Lynch kicked a passing woman,but she refused to prefer chargesagainst him. However he did have toanswer the judge concerning disor¬derly conduct while intoxicated.”Other journalistic contemporarieshave noted the phenomenon, even asfar away as Kansas University, wherethe editors of the University DailyKansan write:“It now remains only for some en¬terprising journalist to discover thepot of goid at the end of the rainbow,the lost chord, the missing link, orthe way of a man with a maid. Butall these fade into insignificance be¬side the fact that a man finally bit adog.” SELLING FATHERBy H.

Fine.What make has he now?”Bill named It, inwardly cursing it forbeing the unobtrusive species it was.“Good little car in its day,” said thesalesman kindly and, thanks be,thought Bill, not at all condescendingly.“But not, as you can see, to be men¬tioned in the same breath with this.Now, step In a moment—”When Bill stepped out again, he hadall the talking points of the Berwick athis tongue’s end, he was late for workand he had given Mr. John Wildmanhis father’s name, address and prob¬able hours at home.Mr. John Wildman came that eve¬ning.

But itseems more important, though notquite so pleasant, to advise the new¬comers in several respects. ThePresident and the dean have made thistask theirs to fulfill, and advice slipsnaturally from their long experience.However, we’ve hung on in thisUniversity three years for the solepleasure of speaking paternally. Sowe advise, in secret ways, the frosh todo this and that in this or that way.And when we’re through we feelwe’ve done our share to give him agood “bringing-up,” and the freshmanis weary enough to sleep well, if notjudicially.It’s this fear of his being injudiciousin his subconscious mind, and discard¬ing really worthwhile words, thatprompts us to record for an imme¬diate posterity just these few phrases:We’re glad you’re here and we’ll helpyou stay. We want you to take on agood Maroon shade of citizenship, sothat you can amuse the 1931 class.

"And very soon,” ex¬plain Profs. Albert A. Michelson andHenry G. Gale, “we will be able totest the truth of the Einstein theoryof relativity.The apparatus used in the experi¬ment consists of a rectangle of pipe1,800 feet long by 1,200 feet wide,one side of which is double. An Arclight which is now being placed atone corner will flash light through thepipe in two directions, thus determin¬ing whether or not there is a differencein the length of time required for thelight to travel with and against theearth’s rotation.Should it be found that both beamsof light, traveling around the pipe inopposite directions and relayed aroundby mirrors placed at the corners ofthe pipe, take the same length of time,the Einstein theory will be contra¬dicted and it will be established thatthe "ether” rotates with the earth.Seven thousand two hundred feet oftwelve-inch water main, weighing 300tons, have been used already and sev¬en tons of lead have been used to makethe joints air-tight; 1,250 hours of con¬tinuous pounding on the joints werenecessary. The total labor cost is$7,500. The vacum pump—which willcreate the 28^2 inch vacuum—costs$1,600. All but the labor and pumphave been donated.Those in charge of the experiment—Profs. Michelson and Gale—believethat final resuls will be reached thisfall.Eight New MountainsProf. R. T. Chamberlain of the Uni¬versity department of geology, andAllen arpe. New York engineer, as¬cended the hitherto unknown Carboorange of mountains in British Colum-mia. Eight new mountains were defi¬nitely located. One of the peaks, yetunnamed, rank's among the highest inthe Canadian northwest.Not only were new mountains dis¬covered, but the headwaters of theThomf son and Canoe rivers were lo¬cated. the latter of which follows theRocky Mountain trench to the Colum¬bia river. These two men are the firstwhite people ever to note the glacialsources of the two mountain streams.From the highest peak, which is high¬er than any other peak in the terri¬tory with the exception fo MountRobson, the party was able to makerecords that will add to the Univer¬sity's store of information about thefundamental knowledge of glacier andmountain formation. And mountainstructure and the origin of mountainsare two of the biggest problems ofgeology.The party, which started out late inJune, met with many difficulties andhad a lively battle against tangled andslippery vegetation and icy slopes.A Help to MoviesAu experiment conducted by CharlesHanson and George Reppert at theKent chemical laboratory of the Uni¬versity has resulted in a new kind ofmercury vapor lamp which is said tobe five times as bright as any on themarket, and because of its exclusionof ultra-violet rays, will be especiallyadapted to the taking of moving pic¬tures. The ultra-violet rays of lampsnow on use are said to have damagingeffects on the eyes of the actors.The lamp, which is made of pyrexglass, burns without the usual flickerfound in similar makes and in a recenttest burned continuously for twonights and two days with no sign ofoverheating or decrease in luminosity.The lamp is constructed in such a waythat the operator merely has to turnit over in order to start it, no prelim¬inary heating being necessary.Some RhinoserousAt Van Tassel, Wyoming, Dr. PaulMiller, curator of Walker museum atthe University, found a three millionyear old skeleton of a giant rhinoser-ous. The bones, wfiich were embed¬ded in rock, have been shipped herewhere Dr. Miller will dig them outar.d put the skeleton together for pur¬poses of study and exhiibtion.Five boxes of fossils also resultedfrom the expedition to the bad lands,and the process of classifying the fos¬sils will probably reveal some hithertounknown prehistoric mammals.The skull of the rhinoserous is twofee Wipe g, leading experts to believethat it may be one of the largest of itskind eve? located in the United States.A Valuable ChairWhen Dr. W. E Blatz lost his bal¬ance when leaning back in his chairduring one of hi? 1»ctur»e in pcyrhnl-ogy this summer, he was immediately conceived5sbf a scheme for arousing,experimentally, the emotion of fear.He has devised a chair that is oper¬ated electrically and is made to col¬lapse while a human subject is sittingin it. Unaware that the electricswitch is about to be pulled, the pa¬tient acts as he would under ordinaryconditions. When the chair collapses,he gasps for support and displaysevery evidence of real fear.As the person in the chair falls, theeffect on his heart beat and the changein his electrical state both before andduring the falls are recorded by anelectrocardiograph which is in anotherroom. By actual use of the chair ontwenty-five of his students, Dr. Blatzfound that actual fear may be arousedand controlled for study in a labora¬tory and that physiological changes,among which are faster heart heatsand rapid breathing, electrical changestake place during fear, even when thesubject does not acknowledge that heis afraid. Another conclusion drawn,was that an individual can become Ac¬customed to fear situations.Recover Lost CometComet Encke. a permanent memberof the solar system, located near theConstellation Taurus, was recoveredfor its present return into the field ofterrestial observation on August 1 byProf. Van Biesbroeck, of Yerkes Ob¬servatory of the University. Twophotographs were taken with the 24-inch reflector telescope at the observ¬atory. The comet, which was first ob¬served toward the close of the Eight¬eenth Century, is said to approachmore closely than any other celestialobject to the planet Mercury.In 1819 it was observed assiduouslyby Pons of Marseille and Encke, thecelebrated German astronomer and di¬rector of the German astronomicalyear-book and nautical almanac, whowas able to demonstrate that the co¬met was a permanent member of oursolar system with a period of 3 1-3years.It is not a bright obect, but his ac-casionally been visible to the nakedSpeaking ofFootball —WE WANT toHELP youENTERTAIN thoseOUT-of-townyFOOTBALL guestsOF your8.WE WANT themTO ENJOY evei'y minuteOF THEIR stayAND WHEN they leaveTO go awayBOOSTING ChicagoAND tell big everyoneTHEY meetJUST WHAT a greatTIME ttiey hadWITH entertainmentGALORE andNOT ONE dull momentDURING their visit—THAT is whyWE recommend theCHICAGO Beach Hotel,CHICAGO’S greatest hotelFOR theirSTOPPING placeWHILE they areIN THE cityIT IS mighty handyTO STAGG Field.AND tooYOU CANT affordTO HAVE them missTHE BIG danceIN thePEACOCK RoomTHE NIGHT ofTHE gameChicagoBeach HotelHyde Park Boulevardon the LakePhone Hyde Park 4000A.

It is interestingto know that during the century anda quarter that this comet has beenunder intermittent observation it' doesnot seem to have lost its intrinsicbrightness or to have been disruptedby any possible collisions with me-troric swarms in the space which ithas traveled.Affects Only a FewJumping from comets to greenleaves. It has been found that not allpeople are susceptible to poison ivy.James B. McNair, physiological chem¬ist at the University, found that ap¬proximately one person in eighteen ishighly susceptible to the much fearedivy leaf. He based his conclusion onthe treatment of 28,756 studentsthroughout the country."It is now apparent,” says McNair,“how there may be families, all themembers of which are highly suscept¬ible to Rhus dermatitis (meaning ivypoisoning), how other families may behighly immune, and how both immun¬ity and susceptibility may be handeddown when one parent is susceptible.On the other hand if both parents areimmune the children may also be im¬mune; but the grandchildren may besusceptible.Produce Comet’s TailProf. Harvey B. Lemon and his as¬sistants have produced in Ryersonlaboratory at the University, line spec¬tra like those in comet’s tails. Bymeans of an electric current passingbetween electrodes in the tube, thegasses are excited and the light thusproduced sent through a prism, or re¬flected from a grating, from which thespectra are photographed.Spectra from real comet's tails are obtained by passing the light thatcomes through an astronomical tele¬scope into a prism where it is splitup into its component parts., By comparison it may be possible tofind an element or compound that,heretofore, has not been known to ex¬ist in comets’ tails. It is to be inferredfrom these experiments that some hy-Irocarbon gas, such as acetylene, ex¬ists in the tails of comets.Did tht Squaw Work?Dr. Fay Cooper Cole, assistant pro¬fessor of Anthropology at the Univer¬sity, made a study of the matriarchalor maternal form of governmentamong the Menaggabaus of Samaraand the Iroquois Ind’ar.s of America,and has found that the picture of theIndian squaw, bearing her husband’sburdens and bending to his slightestwhim, may now be put away on theschelf. The Indian woman was -notonly a dominating factor in the life ofthe tribe, but the person around whomthe governmental machinery was built.The man was the representative;the woman the controlling force. Wo¬men had suffrage rights in the clan—equal with those of the men. Notonly did the head woman of the tribe,from which the leader came, have acheck on his activities by controllinghis election, but she also exercisedveto power, or a power of recall."In the Americas, the least primi¬tive Indian nations—those of the Iro-quo, and of the northwest—are matri¬archal government. Matrimony im¬plies woman’s rights.”Photographing AttornsEach minute atom, stated Dr. Hark¬ins in a lecture last summer on "ThePhotography of Atomic Collisions andthe Building of Atoms,” is a complexreplica of the solar system in that itconsists of a central sun or nuclea, and a number of outer or planetaryelectrons. When, however, the atomsshoot as fast as they do in the experi¬ments under observation, the inneratom of nucleus moves sc rapidly thata part or all of the electron? are leftbehind.According to Dr. Harkins,- a theorydeveloped in 1915 considers that prac¬tically all atoms arc built up mostlyfrom the nuclei of the atoms of he¬lium, a gas found in air, and used indirigible baloons. The helium nucleusis built up from hydrogen nuceli andnegative electrons. Enormous amountsof energy are given off when hydro¬gen is transmuted into helium. Thesuggestion has now been utilized inthe development by a number of astro¬nomers of the theory that the greaterpart of the heat of the sun, and of theother stars, and therefore of the heatused on earth, comes from the con¬version of hydrogen into helium.FRESHMAN WEEK BACKEDHEARTILY BY UNIVERSITY(Continued from page 1)Wilkins on FraternitiesFirst of the orientation talks will bemade by Dean Ernest H.

The loss of!.ampe and Weiss, two crack ends, hasresulted in a dozen or so men beingtried in that position.. Among thewing candidates who have been givena shot at this position are Barnes,Barto, Barta, Wolff, and a number oflesser lights. No individual has madea startling record for himself so far.Similarly in the back field consider¬able changing and rearranging hasbeen going on from day to day. Oneof the “Old Man’s" favorite combina¬tions is Curley at quarter, Grahamand Kernwein with Harry Thomas atthe halves, and Francis ^at fullback.Marks has been doing the sort of workwhich will warrant his alternatingwith Francis. From this set will un¬doubtedly evolve the backfield whichStagg will put on the field to face Mis¬souri October 4th. xTeam’s Strength UncertainThe unsettled condition of most ofthe line and backfield increases thedifficulty in estimating the team’sprobable strength during the comingseason and makes prediction as to Chi¬cago’s chances exceedingly precarious.However, it is undoubtedly safe to berather pessimistic regarding Maroonoutlook. A tough schedule stares theStaggmen in the face. From the very•start they will meet teams whose cal¬iber is not uncertain. From the Mis¬souri contest which opens the season,until the Wisconsin fray, which closesit, they will have to fight for everyinch they gain, and will not meet asingle set-up.Misouri comes here with a veryslightly altered team, and with an ex¬cellent record from last year. Vic¬tories over Nebraska and Kansas aretheir brightest feats. The initial con¬test will decidedly not be a practicegame.Brown comes here for an intersec¬tional battle the following week, andbrings with her a redoubtable elevenwhich calculates to give the Maroonssome trouble.Recent word from the Hoosier stateindicates that Indiana football stockis booming. This outfit, for sometime considered a breather for Chi¬cago, will give them no opportunityfor a rest.The following week, the local elevenjourneys to Columbus, to take on acrew which has been hinted at as apennant contender. Although no oneventures yet to predict the conferencechampionship for Ohio State, dope-sters are conceding them plenty ofchance. That means work for Chi¬cago if she is to duplicate last year’sperformance.Purdue arrives here with as husky ateam as endangered the Maroon gon¬falon last year, and with more earnestintentions. There will be no oppor¬tunity to ease up before the affair withthe downstaters.Zupke Eyes TitleWith November 8th arrives Illinoisand the most ferocious tussle the Ma¬roons will encounter this year. Manyconcede the Suppmen the conferencetitle* already and aver that no Big lenteam should score upon them. Onthe other hand there are authoritieswho as ardently support Michigan,whom the locals will not meet.North western will be on hand witha strengthened eleven, and intends, as A football innovation will be triedout at Galesburg, Ill., Saturday whenCoach Murray’s Marquette Universityteam will clash with the strong Lom¬bard outfit in an informal practicegame. No score will be kept and norecords will be maintained.All the competition of a regulargame will be seen on the field, but asno thought will be given to the scorethe coaches will have a better oppor¬tunity to use all of the best men onthe squad and watch them workagainst a rival team. In this way theywill be able to discover heretoforehidden weaknesses in offense and de¬fense, which will be corrected in fu¬ture practice.The Rules GivenFollowing are some of the specialrules under which the practice gamewill be played:1. There will be eight periods ofeight minutes each.2. No scoring will count and norecords will be kept.3. Each team will handle the balloffensively for four minutes of eachperiod.4.

A.Lorenz, for $65,000. This house wasplanned by the architects Pond ardPond, who planned the MichiganUnion.S. A. E. Property ImprovedThe house has three stories, withfifteen rooms, and five baths. Thereare also lavoratories in each room notconnecting with a bath. The entrancehall is of panelled oak, and the livingroom has tapestried walls. Thefraternity can boast of one of themost complete wild flower gardens inthe city, as Mr. Lorenz spent nineyears completing it.The house on Blackstone, whichwas vacated by Kappa Sigma, is beingtaken over by Phi Beta Delta. Thehouse has been remodeled and re¬decorated on the interior, and severalminor improvements have been made.Woodlawn is now' a street offraternities. Between 55th Street andthe Midw'ay there are eleven fraternityhouses, including the three new loca¬tions.usual, to trim Chicago. Whether theywill be able to or not depends to alarge extent upon what Illinois does.The final tilt of the season will bethe customary battle against the Bad¬gers. Wisconsin has gone into secretpractice dor the season and is puttingthe backficlds through intensivescrimmage work. Bieberstein is al¬ready said to be in mid-season form,and has seldom been known to sufferfrom staleness.With only a trifle m<ro than a weekto go, Stag is. expected to work in anumber of new offensive plays, in anattempt to befoozle the Show-meeleven! The team is rapidly shapinginto battle form and proposes to getup an energy which will see themthrough the season. The past school year saw a distinctstep forw’ard in the intramural sportprogram when a student manager wasappointed by the Athletic Departmentto work with Dr. Molander in seeingthat a definite plan was followed outand all the teams played according tothe schedules that were worked out.It was just such care as this that putthe games across with the fraternitymen and the men living on campusnot associated with any of the campusorganizations. The purpose of theintramural system which is as followscame nearer to complete fulfillment-than ever before; in the first place thesystem attempts to bring the advan¬tages of participation in clean sportsto the large number of students whoare not quite good enough to beclassed as Varsity material; second, todevelop potential Varsity material,and to uncover any star athletes whoseabilities because of bashfulness or lackof self confidence, are not yet known.The Athletic Department, assistedby the Interfraternity Council in mostcases, stages annually an inter¬fraternity basketball tournament, aninterfraternity bowling tournament, anovice and interfraternity swimmingmee^ a novice track meet, an inter¬fraternity relay. During the 1924 sea¬son there were added: several compe¬titions in track, being held whereVarsity men showed their waresagainst freshmen and newcomers, in¬terclass tennis for both men andwomen with mixed doubles a featureof the plan, and an interfraternitygolf tourney.Paul Cullom in ChargeThis year Dr. Molander expectsIntramurals to go ahead by leaps andbounds. The Fall division of thesesports is under the management ofPaul Cullom. The point proposition,under which system the variousfraternities and organizations are tobe rated during the course of the year,will be worked out immediately atthe first meeting of the IntramuralsExecutive Council.The scope of this work lies entirelywithin the hands of the students withthe single exception of finances whichwill be handled by a faculty com¬mittee.The first meeting of the executivecommission is scheduled for Mondayor Tuesday, two weeks hence. At thistime plans will be considered for theopening banquet, which will be usedto start off the work. COUNCIL ASKS AIDIN TICKET DISPOSALWe, as representatives of thestudent body, believe that everystudent owes the University hisloyal support in its efforts to securea fair distribution of football tickets.The student cheering section for“C” books has again been locatedin the center of the West Stand. Inaddition, preference is given to stud¬ent applications for regular tickets.In order to justify the confidencewhich has been placed in thestudent body, each member has apersonal responsibility in prevent¬ing misuse of tickets, which in¬cludes reselling at any price, evenat face value.To violate the foregoing is to actunfairly toward the best interestsof our fellow-students.THE UNDERGRADUATECOUNCILKenneth Laird, President.ILLEGAL EQUIPMENTRULES STRINGENT STUDENTS ASKED TO PRESENTTUITION RECEIPTS IMMEDIATELYFOR CHEERING SECTION SEATSPriority Rules and Application Dates for ExtraSeats Announced; Speculation to BeClosely Watched This YearStagg Comments on Use ofUnyielding MaterialsDickson to CoachMinnesota TeamsCampbell Diakson, ’24, C-man infootball and basketball, has been ap¬pointed assistant coach in football, bas¬ketball, and track, at the University ofMinnesota.

Little spokeconcerning Michigan football at a lunch¬eon given by the Ann Arbor Chamberof Commerce at the Chamber of Com¬merce inn yesterday noon. Prof. RalphW. Aigltr, of the Law school and chair¬man of the Board of Control of Athlet¬ics, presided and introduced to thebusiness men the two new members onthe football coaching staff, Frank Hayesof Marietta college, assistant line coach,and Harvey C. Emery of Princeton,back field coach.Coach Yost confined his remarkschiefly to the deplorable ticket short¬age to our big games,, and dealt withthe difficulty which the board of con¬trol experienced in determining afair distribution of seats. Accordingto Coach Yost, Michigan has today oneof the finest athletic plants and equip- “We are ready to take care of thestudent body’s demand for ‘C’ booksimmediately,” said Mr. Gif fin, chair¬man of the Football Tickets Com¬mittee, last night in an interview withthe Daily Maroon. Presentation ofthe tuition receipt for the AutumnQuarter will be necessary in securingthe ducats.Student“C” books which include ad¬mission to all football, track, basket¬ball, baseball, and other athleticevents, will be available at the regularprice of ten dollars. Space has beenreserved for 1700 holders of thesebooks in the middle sections of thewest concrete stands, affording thestudent body the choicest seats to behad. Although in the past this num¬ber of reservations has been sufficient,students have been urged by the com¬mittee to secure “C” books as soon asthey have paid their tuition, as thoseapplying after the 1700 have been ex¬hausted will have to be assigned toless desirable locations and away fromthe regular student cheering sections.Good for Any SeatA student “C” book holder may oc¬cupy any seat within the sectionsassigned, as there will be no individualseat reservations. The seats outsidethis section have definite reservationsand a uniform price is charged.Students should make personal appli¬cations for all seat reservations at theoffice of the Football Tickets Com¬mittee in the main entrance of theStadium at 5625 Ellis Avenue, be¬tween 9:00 a. m. anc 4:30 p. m. Asystem of priorities is in operationwhich gives students and alumnipreference in the allotment of tickets,all seat assignments being madestrictly by lot.ment of any institution in the UnitedStates. It is the only plant developedentirely through its own receipts.Ninety-nine per cent of Michigan equip¬ment was purchased from gate earn¬ings. “It’s all bosh about our com¬mercializing athietics,” said Yost. “Weare all building for a greater Michiganand no one is getting rich. As toticket distribution the board has doneits best to be fair and divide the 41,000seats equally between the 100,000 per¬sons demanding tickets..”“Everyone would like the 50 yardline,” he says. “Some have even sentin requests to have place reserved forthem on the 55 yard line, and we havedone our best to satisfy all.”Coach Little spoke on the extraor¬dinary heavy schedule, the strongestin fifteen years, which Michigan has toface this year. He reviewed thestrength of the opposing team, but saidthat it was impossible to forecast theresults. “We hope to rededicate Ohio’sstadium for them, but only good hardwork will do it,” he says. “We wantthe backing of every business man andstudent whether we win or lose. Ourchances this year depend not only uponour veterans but also upon our newmen.”Former Student Opens RestaurantC. K.

Youare setting out open a journey over aroad that you never traveled before andthat you will travel but once. You areentering into new relationships, joininga new family, becoming citizens of anew republic, and just as the traveler'it a new country and still more the im¬migrant into a new country needs, ashe enters it, some knowledge of the land,so I am going to leave it to others to-enter our University, which is hereafterto lx- your University, should be toldby us who have lived here longer, some¬thing about this to you new and moreor less strange land.But in the few' minutes that 1 canspeak to you this morning I cannot, ofcourse, tell you all about this place, andso I am going to leace it to others totell you about the buildings, where \ >uregister, and where you eat and si .ep,while I talk to you about the inner lifeof the institution, the ideals of the Uni¬versity, the things for which it stands.1. In the first place, the Universitystands for scholarship. That is an es¬sential characteristic of a University•without which it is a University inname only. A business house may standfor honesty and service and quality ofgoods, but it does not stand for scholar¬ship. An amusement hall may stand forclean, healthful amusement, relaxationand refreshment of spirit, but it doesnot stand for scholarship. That is thebusiness of the school, and pre-eminent¬ly of the University.But I fancy I hear some of you pay¬ing, ‘But I am not a scholar, and Inever expect to be a scholar. I don’tpropose to become a drv-as-dust profes¬sor or write dull books. I want to knowlife and to live my life out in the realworld.’ Well, I sympathize with tharfeeling, and I am not disturbed overyour having it. But let me remind youof two things. First, that scholarshipis not dry-as-dust pedantry. It is notan interest in, or knowdedge of, thingsthat have nothing to do with humanlife. It is primarily an altitude andsecondarily an achievement. It is an in¬terest in knowing things that are worthwhile, an insatiable curiosity, not aboutthe trivial and unimportant, but aboutthe real things of the world and ofhuman life. All of us have curiosity,the important thing is what are we curi¬ous about. Curiosity about the trivialmakes us mischief-making busybodies;curiosity about the really importantmakes us scholars. As an achievementit is an acquisition of knowledge, andstill more of open-mindedness towardtruth and the acceptance of it. the spiritthat is expressed in the Alma Materthat you will soon learn to sing and tolove:"She could not love her sons so wellLoved she not truth and honor more.”In the second place, I want to sayabout scholarship, that the Universityis not expecting of you at the beginningof your college course what it demandsof its graduates and of its professors.It is not demanding old heads on young•shoulders. All that it asks of you nowis a reasonable measure of real interest;in the intellectual side of life — a desire ifor knowledge and a willingness to pay |the price for it. Unless you have th.Sior can speedily acquire it, you will only jwaste your time here. Not every boy orgirl ought to go to college. There aremany who have little or no interest ex¬cept in things that they can see andtouch. They ma\ be very worthy peo¬ple, who will dig ditches or shovel coal,or sell pins, or amass fortunes, but whohave not even the faintest germs ofscholarship and who would gain littlefrom a university life. There are agreat many people who will never learnexcept in the school of practice. Forthem classrooms and libraries, exchangeof ideas, communion with the greatminds of the past, are all irksomeThere is a streak of this in all of us.All of us have times when we feel thatwe belong to this class. But some of us Jalso have times when we catch a vision jof the great world of knowdedge and jwant to have our share in it, and tomake our contribution to it If we feelthis often enough and sti T.gly enoughto be willing to give our best energiesfor a period of a few years, at least, tothe things of the mind, then the college | or the university >r school of some sortis the n’ace -for us. I assume "that atleast as n uch as this is’ true ftf-yov —that once in a while, at least, you dow'ant to know more than you can learnout or the street or in the shop, andthat this desire has had an importantpart in bringing you here. The Uni¬versity stands for scholarship and wouldnot be worthy of the name if it did nob2. The University will stand for theideal of a symmetrical and well-balancedlife. It is primarily a place for hardwork. There is no room for the idlerhere. Amusement is not our principalbusiness. 1 once asked a professor ina European university what it was nec¬essary for a student to do in order toget a degree in his university. His an¬swer was, “ Only not to forget what heknew when he came!" Thxt is not ourspirit. Unless you have come here ex¬pecting to work hard, you have come tothe wrong place. But we do not expectyou to spend all your waking hours instudy. There is room here for socialcontact of student with student, timefor you to look after your health, andthe cultivation of your manners. Webelieve in physical culture and ath¬letics, we believe in social intercourseand recreation. But we believe in themall as agencies of education and asconcomitants of the principal businessof the place.3. The University stands for interestin, and concern for, the individual. Wehave not much faith in mass education,baptizing men with knowledge, sprayedfrom a rubber hose. We do not expectto know you as so many hundred fresh¬men. When I was in college, I supposeevery professor knew every student bysight and by name. In an eastern schoolin which I once taught, I could give thefirst, middle and last name of every stu¬dent in the institution, and every one ofthem dined at my table at least once. Ofcourse, such things are not possible ina large institution like this. Neverthe¬less, we mean to deal with you as indi¬viduals. We intend that in the case ofeach one of you there will he at leastone officer of the University who willknow you as an individual and counselwith you as a friend whom he knowsand understands. If after a few weeksyou find that in your case there is nosuch person, I wish you would writeme a letter and we will try to remedythe omission.4. Yet while we deal with you as in¬dividuals, because each of you is an indi¬vidual with an individual consciousness,we hope you will remember that youare also members of a community, partsof a social organism, and that you willcultivate a community consciousness.You are not simply preparing for life.You are living, and preparing to liveonh as each stage of life is a prepara¬tion for the next. We hope, therefore,that you will feel yourselves responsiblemembers of this community, and willtake part in all phases of its life, lea-nto do team-work, acquire the art ofsocial living^?5. TW M&r&y .stand* for charac¬ter, for 1N1 gh moral £h'arafcter. I havesaid that concern for scholarship is anessential characteristic of the Universi¬ty. But it has lately been borne in uponus with startling force and solemn em¬phasis that scholarship is not enough,and the conviction which we have al¬ways held that the University must con¬cern itself not for scholarship only, hutfor character also, has been greatly re¬enforced by recent events. High charac¬ter alone can never entitle the studentto the University degree. But neithercan any amount o fscholarship atonefor the lack of character. The Univer¬sity aims to produce men and womenwho can play honorably and well theirpart in life, and we know that they can¬not do this without high character.Therefore we desire to create an atmos¬phere calculated to develop character.But do you notice what I say — an at¬mosphere calculated to develop charac¬ter. For, after all, the matter of char¬acter rests with the man himself. Wecan make an atmosphere conducive tothe development of character, but wecannot make character. After all is donethat can he done, the man himself isthe architect of his own character. Weneed your help in creating the right at¬mosphere, and we pledge you our bestendeavors in that direction. But not lesswe urge you to rememl)er that withoutsound character, of which you your¬selves are the ultimate arbiters, allscholarship,- and charm, and skill areunavailing, and hut emphasize the ghast¬liness of the failure that will follow.6. Finally, the University stands forreligion. 1 shall not stop to disepss therelation between religion and morality.Suffice it to say that religion is some¬thing more tha.i morality and the Uni¬versity stands 'or both. Stands for it,but again, not to rescribe it or enforceit. For standing for religion the Uri- ! «s» « •versity also stands for freedom in re¬ligion. It is not -eur desire to definefor you what you shall believe oi whatform of worship you shall practice, butwe do desire to remind you that no life,whether of individual or community, iscomplete or symmetrical without relig¬ion — a religion which, beiVig chosen bythe individual, also meets his needs.If there was ever a time when it wasnecessary to apologize for such a state¬ment, that time has gone by. Perhapssome of you have read the ver> signifi¬cant utterance ot President Wilson, al¬most the last that came from his penbefore his death.“The sum of the whole matter isthis; that our civilization cannot sur¬vive materially unless it be redeemedsp-rPually. It can be saved only by be-com.ng permeated with the spirit ofChrist, and being made free and happyby the practices which spring out ofthat Spirit. Only thus can discontent !lie driven out and all the shadows liftedfrom the road ahead." *But if this be true — and I proiound- jly believe that it is — then it is manifestthat religion cannot be excluded fromthe life of a University or left out ofaccount. If religion is as important as Fiesident Wilson said it is, (and againI want to say that I fully believe it is)you cannot leave it out of the four mostimportant years of your life and notsuffer a great loss, a loss to you andto the world in which you are going toplay your part,— a practically irrepar¬able loss. The University cannot imposeit upon you, but it will give you oppor¬tunity to cultivate and pursue it your¬selves, and standing here as the repre¬sentative of the University, I wish tourge you to recognize its importanceand to make place for it in you pro¬gram of life.Learning and religion can never besafely divorced. Each needs the other.Religion needs the free atmosphere ofthe University to keep it from becom¬ing superstitious or bigotry. Learningneeds religion to keep it from becomingselfish and pedantic.Ii is in a University that is concernedfor both these and the other things thatI named,— for scholarship, for consider¬ation for the individual, for social mind¬edness, for character, and for religion,—that I welcome you to full membership,and I hope that every day that you spendhere will add to the richtiess, fullnessand depth of your lives.South Shore Hotel1454 Hyde Park BoulevardoVERY DESIRABLE ROOMS, WITH EXCELLENTMEALS.oRoom I person $18.00 WeeklyRoom 2 persons 26.00 WeeklyLarge room, 3 persons 42.00 WeeklyLarge room, with bath, 3 persons 48.00 WeeklyOPhone Kenwood 2261 THE STORE FOR MENFirSI Shouting in Chicago—SUITSOf Meadow Brook CheviotsIn New Ugh: ThiSile Tones, Tailored in StriftlyYoung Men V Styles, $50T A£T Spring we introduced to the young menof Chicago light-colored Shetland weaves.They made an instant impression.
