Michelson,head of the department of physics,underwent a major operation atnoon yesterday at the PresbyterianHospital. Announcement was madetoday that the great physicist wasrecovering from the effects of theoperation and making a good andspeedy recovery.If his progress is as rapid as ex¬pected he will return to his work atthe University within a few weeks.Dr. Michelson’s late lecture whichconfirmed the Einstein Theory andwhich caused much comment in sci¬entific circles, was delivered undereffort, as he was suffering at thattime from the ailment which re¬sulted in the operation.At that lecture, delivered in Or¬chestra Hall on January 8, Dr. Mi¬chelson reviewed his life-long ex¬periments concerning the nature andvelocity of light, and announced aprovisional result of the “ ether driftexperiment ” at Clearing, Ill., indi¬cating confirmation of the Einsteintheory of relativity. He spoke formore than an hour, although suffer¬ing under severe pain.Professor Michelson has been headof the department of physics at theUniversity since 1892.

Actress Tellsof ExperienceIn ‘Drama Club’Miss Emily Taft, famed for herwork in dramatic fields, particu¬larly “ The Cat and the Canary,”was guest of honor at the Dramaticclub tea yesterday afternoon. As astudent at the University, Miss Taftwas actively interested in the Dra¬matic association, and she had manylively reminiscences to tell of herexperiences as an amateur per¬former.“ When I was a member of theclub,” Miss Taft stated, “ we alwaysdreamed of the tjme when we shouldwrite our own plays, but that dreamwas never fulfilled. The friends Imade while participating in the dra¬matics of the University proved ex¬ceptionally valuable to me in mylater experience in the outside worldof plays and play-givers, for afriend of mine who played in dra¬matics here when I did, once se¬cured a very welcome position forme.“ I started professional playing.”she went on, in answer to queries,“ ’way out in Denver, where I firstappeared in stock shows.

Even the box-holderswere all attention. The Abbe, itwill be remembered, is a Canon ofCambrai, and is making his thirdvisit to the University. He spoke onthe subject, ‘ What is left of Ana-tole France ? ”He opened his talk with a descrip,tion of the distinguished writer.Then he passed quickly to the sub¬ject of the decay of AnatoleFrance’s influence. First he saidthe modern French critics tried todestroy him because of his carica-turization of French history. Nexthe announced tha they theey to un¬dermine him because of his effortto minimize the personalities of thegreat men of the French Revolution.Then, thirdly, they hate him for hisdisregard of Christianity and hisattitude toward women. Of women jit seems that he only cared for hismother and Joan of Arc, holding allthe rest as the toys of man, and,fourthly, the French do not like hisinconsistent attitude toward Social¬ism and his innumerable contradic-1dictions of his own policies.However, these are not the mainobjections to Anatole France; these(Continued on page 2) ASTRONOMERS INPREPARATIONS TOSEE SUN ECLIPSEBegin Work on TemporaryObservatory inMichiganElaborate preparations, involvingthe use of some of the fastest cam¬eras in the world, are being madefor the observation of <the eclipse ofthe sun, January 24, from the Uni¬versity’s station at Iron Mountain,Michigan, according to an announce¬ment today by Prof. Edwin B.Frost, director of the Yerkes Observ¬atory.The station will be located on ahill, about 1,500 feet above sea level,a mile east of the city, where a smallwooden shack, provided with a stovewill shelter observers who are as¬sembling the apparatus.Automatic Sky PatrolA clock driven mounting for theastronomical Sky Patrol, so arrangedas to follow the movement of aplanet or star and thus secure anaccurate photograph, will carry thefour principal cameras for photo¬graphing the corona, according toProf. Frost.Profs. Ross and Lee, who will havecharge of the expedition, have de¬signed special apparatus for photo¬graphing the shadow bands, and theywill attempt to folow them with itscameras in the hope of getting moredefinite contrast between the lightand dark bands.Gunsight lenses which are to beused in tandem four in the samecamera, were presented to the Uni¬versity by the Eastman Kodak Com¬pany, who made them up in largequantities for the naval guns duringthe war, Prof. Frost reports.

In the Uni¬versity of Chicago, undergraduatestudents are placed in the same classwith post-graduates—with peoplewho have in many cases completeda college curriculum or even takenan advanced degree. To expect theyoung students to do a grade ofwork comparable to that of theirseniors in age, training, and experi¬ence is ridiculous. Theoretically thecollegians are not required to main¬tain an advanced level of scholarship,but actually, just what does hap¬pen?This is what happens. The pro¬fessor, in a course where the classis made up of students of all ages,has three alternatives. He can teachup to the elder members, he canteach down to the younger members,or he can try to strike an unhappymedium between the two. The word“unhappy” is used with no attemptto be funny. For any medium isbound to be a failure. It will beabove the heads of the young peopleand below the mental capacities ofthe old people, so that it is a wasteof time for the latter and an un¬reasonable standard for the former.This is not the only objectionablefeature of the system as indicatedabove, but it is one of the essentialones. Its relation to the question ofeligibility for fraternity and club in¬itiation is obvious.More issues of the same naturewill be dealt with in these columnslater. ‘ Girl* and Convention*”Vassar college has issued a ques¬tionnaire which is to be filled out byall of its students and used in de¬termining the policy which shall headopted by that institution in regardto girls’ smoking. Its purpose, fur¬thermore, is to ascertain the opinionon the subject held by the studentsof that college.Just how much good it will do isa matter of conjecture. Question¬naires of its order are not very aptto be taken seriously. But it will beinteresting nevertheless to learn justhow the answers will come in.Certainly, smoking on the part ofwomen is not countenanced in anysuch manner in America as it is inEurope. It is. however, beginning totake more of a hold. And as far asconvention is concerned, there is noreason in the world why it shouldnot. Smoking is a dirty as well asan expensive habit, but except froma physical standpoint, there is noreason why convention should con¬fine it to the members of one sex.Just how many Wisconsin co-edssmoke is a question, but the numberis not so small as our grannies, Godbless them, are inclined to suppose.But convention, especially in re¬gard to the fair sex, is an unexplain¬able thing. Girls are more ruled byit than men, always have been, al¬ways will he. And it is their ownfault, for they kow-tow to it, espe¬cially in the matter of dress. Itwould not be surprising to see somegirl meander up the hill either in themiddle of summer or the middle ofwinter clad only in a swimming suit,fur coat and satin slippers.And yet in other matters, smakingfor instance, they take particularpleasure in defying convention. Andusually they defy it for no otherreason than that it is smart to do so.—From the “Daily Cardinal.”DECLARATION OF AN INTEL¬LECTUAL INDEPENDENCE HATE FRANCE FORATTITUDE, SAYS D1MNET(Continued from page 1)1 are not the real reasons for hisfaults, contended Dimnet. Instead,the modern school of French writerstake intense objection to his literarystyle — not that it was too poor, butthat it was too perfect. Coming di¬rectly out of a great war where theintenseness of atmosphere called forcrude, direct literary expression,they see too much of daintiness, toomuch of the Rennaissance in hisstyle, and, therefore, object to it.His art of embellishment appears atthe moment unseemly and, althoughit is the direct expression of theonly art the French have, the crit¬ics feel that it is not the propersort of writing for the tittle. How¬ever, the Abbe says there is alwaysa reaction to the reaction and Ana-tole France will soon be recognizedin his new capacity — that ofthe Savior of the French language.It’s not hard to find an army ofenergetic investigators who’ll makeit their contribution to twentiethcentury civilization (in return for acertain stipulated bit of cash) tosnoop about the quadrangles of agreat university in search of collegeboys and girls tramping, for the mo¬ment, on the lower planes of Amer¬ican life.There’s the general statement offact. It applies to all the univer-tities and colleges. And it appliesto all the people who see humorousvalues in the levelling of minds to asingle monotony. The investigatorstell us there’s news value in a dis¬covery, for instance, that universitypeople spend their spare momentsover the fiction and magazines thatare common to the lower middleclasses. The lower and the lowermiddle classes, they insist, draw asort of scientific amusement fromour response to popular appeals.

Thisgroup will meet for games everyMonday evening during the season.At the first meeting held last Mon¬day, 22 players were on the floor.Rivalling this class in popularityis the recreation night on Tuesdays,organized by the Graduate Women’sclub.

They were told to cover theirheads and throw the bones of theirmother behind them. Pyrrha divinedthat these bones were the stones ofMother Earth. The sculptor showsus the moment when these stones,thus cast from the Titan’s handsare changing into men and women,rising out of the cold and flood intolife and light. The composition be¬gins with creatures half-formed,vague, prostrate, blindly emergingfrom the shapeless rock; continuesat higher levels with figures fullydeveloped and almost erect, but stillgroping in darkness, struggling,wondering; and reaches its climaxwith an elevated group of humanforms, complete and glorious, salut¬ing the dawn.”In the “ Fountain of Time ” thereis a suggestion of joyous, onwardmovement in this procession and ofthe splendor and pageantry whichlife has achieved since the first greatday of creation, to be celebrated bythe other fountain.

On November 26, 1891, theground was first broken for theconstruction of buildings on the cam¬pus. The plough entered the groundnear the corner of Ellis Ave. and theMidway Plaisance, where the firstdormitories were to stand.
