Womenwho had such a picture are offered thechoice of paying one dollar to securea 1931 likeness or allowing the oldphotograph to appear in the book.Group Photos Start MondayGroup pictures will be taken inMandel hall beginning Monday. Or¬ganizations will be notified of the dayand hour of their appointments. .An¬nouncement of the schedule for theweek will also be made in The DailyMaroon. Appointments are neces¬sary for individual portraits, and clubwomen who wish them may telephonethe Daguerre studios at 218 SouthWabash .Avenue.Ray Vane, editor, announced yester¬day that the dollar and a half balanceowed on subscriptions made duringthe sales drive held by the Cap andGown last fall must be paid up be¬fore the close of the Winter quarter,on penalty of forfeiture of the dollarpaid in cash at the time the pledgewas made.Subscribers Must Pay PledgeThe balance of the pledge mayhe turned in at the office of the Capand Gown, Lexington hall, any day,between the hours of 1:30 and 3:30;may be sent to the Cap and Gownthrough the Faculty exchange, or may¬be paid to any of the salespersons ofthe yearbook.Promptness in turning in pledges|s required bec^ause of [the pay-as-you-go policy which the annual hasadoi>ted this year, according to KditorVane. This policy has already as¬sured the students of a typographical¬ly and editorially improved book at a^ul)stantially reduced price. The greatnumber of subscriptions secured dur¬ing the drive has enabled a mass pro¬duction which makes possible theproduction of a cheaper and betteryearbook than has been publislied inthe past.Subscription for the book may stillbe made at the office, through sales¬people, or by mail through the hacuityexchange. The price is $2.50. Hospital Asks forMore Blood DonorsUniversity students interested inserving as professional blood donorsare requested to call at room 619in Billings hospital, preferably inthe morning, to see Dr. R. E. Bar-rows of the department of surgicalbacteriology at the University clin¬ics.Donors are paid thirty-five dol¬lars for ward cases and fifty dol¬lars for private cases, each of whichcall for one point of blood. Thisloss of blood is harmless to the in¬dividual provided transfusions arenot made more frequently thanonce every six weeks.The fact that the four types ofblood serum cannot be mixed with¬out fatal results to the recipientnecessitates an extensive list ofdonors to draw upon. ’Though a number responded tohis first request, the need for don¬ors is again urgent.

It appeared atIhe Cort theatre.Chinese Joan of ArcThe play is an epic drama founded 1on an old Chinese poem, and conforms |to the Chinese technique in dramatic iwriting. 'I'he story concerns a Chinese IJoan of .Arc who goes out to fight in jwars that her family may not be jstained by the absence of a member ibearing it in the Emperor’s service. 'She serves for ten years, and becomes jthe hero of the final victory, but not 1until after she returns home is her sexdiscovered.

INITIATE PROGRAMOF COOPERATIVEFINANCE STUDIES'I'he intention of the University ofChicago to initiate a broad programof cooperative research in problems offinance was disclosed yesterday byPresident Robert. .Maynard Hutchinswith the announcement of the appoint¬ment of William C. Douglas of theYale Law School as professor in theLaw School. Professor Douglas, whohas made a brilliant reputation atYale as an expert in finance, will bea member of the University of Chi¬cago Law School, the School of Com¬merce and .Administration, and the Di¬vision of Social Sciences. His appoint¬ment is the first action toward puttinginto effect, through a group of ex¬perts, an investigation in a field ofresearch which has had but little at¬tention from .American universities.“'Lhe University proposes to estab¬lish a Committee on Finance whichwill correlate all research projects inthe field of private finance, initiatenew and important research studies,and advise as to teaching in the field,”President Hutchins said. “Through theSocial Science Research Committee,(Continued on page 3) By Robert Wallenborn'File program presented yesterdayafternoon at Mandel hall by the Chi¬cago .Symphony Orchestra wa.>i, withthe exception of the Ravel “.Alhoradodel gracioso”, the most conventionalgathering of musical material heard bythe writer in a long time, especiallyfrom such an organization as the localone. I'he hackneyed “New WorldSymphony” by Dvorak came in forits almost monthly beating, and the“Valse Triste” by Sibelius for a pleas¬ant pat on the back, mainly from theaudietice. 'Fhe remaining offerings onthe bill of fare? 'Fhe stirring “Academ¬ic Festival” by Brahms, and the rath¬er trivial “Pastorale d’Ete” by thatmost original of modern composers,.Arthur Honegger.The last-named was an unfortunatechoice, since Honegger has done somuch better in his comparativelyshort career. Not the least of these ishis “Chant de Joie”, his “Pacific 231”aird the newer impressionistic study“Rugby”. The “Pastorale’’ was hisfirst orchestral composition of anynote, and betrays little of his realgenius. Mr. DeLamarter, who con¬ducted in place of Mr. Stock, gaveit a sympathetic reading, bringing outthe various interweaving themes in adefinitely clear manner.By far the most interesting, as wellas the most effective, barring the typi¬cally provincial applause to the Si¬belius number, w'as the Ravel composi¬ tion. .And even with this, one is in¬clined to believe that the secret of itseffectiveness lies in the curious har¬monic relationships, and less on itsmusical qualities. .Abundance of glis-sando passages, and pizzicato, have analmost instantaneous appeal to anyaudience, even a highly musical one,so that the success of “Alborada deltiracioso” is scarcely to be wonderedat.'Fhe remainder of the program ismore familiar to every concert goer.'Fhe artistic overture of Brahms, basedon student songs of German univer¬sities, was hardly virile enough, thoughto the average musician a scholarlyperformance. Mr. DeLamarter seemsto prefer a leisurely tempo, and oneless calculated to wear out* the per¬formers. I have heard German ren¬ditions that made one’s' hair stand onend for sheer excitement..About the Dvorak there is little tobe said. It is a standard work in theolrchestraV repertoire, particularly inthe Chicago one. Perhaps the reasonfor it popularity in America is thefact" that it is practically the onlywork of any' consequence which canhe termed American. Dvorak, inspiredby native American themes, produced asplendid symphony", and one hardly tobe equaled for a long time by ourcountrymen. Until someone does, theD^!orak will probably be played todeath, to the despair of the musiciansijL the audience. WRESTLING TEAMSCHEDULED FOREASTERN MEETSWith two meets scheduled on theireastern trip, the wrestling team willtravel to Penn State on February 6for a tilt with that school.

The Maroon cagers, with a strongattack and a smooth defense, beatMarquette last night by a score of 28to 20 in the last practice engagementof the season at Milwaukee. The Chi¬cago team took the lead at the outsetof the contest, and retained a goodmargin throughout a hard-fought tilt,w'hich served to round out the train¬ing period of the 1931 varsity squad.A fast scoring combination of Yates,E'ish and Parsons, alternating withshort stops at the hoop, accounted fortwenty-three of the invaders’ twenty-eight points. The Maroon guardingwas especially effective, and the Mar-(^uet^e five were continually forced1)3^ of fti’e'FerTtef' Ime.Yates Makes First ScoreYates lead off with the first basketand at no time did the Milwaukee ag¬gregation overtake, and Norgren’smen lead at the half by a margin of14 to 8. Sid Yates turned in the bestrecord of the evening with* a total ofnine points, but was forced from thegame late in the second half whenhe committed his fourth foul. Rexin¬ger replaced him at forward.Parsons, the long sophomore pivotman, accounted for himself nicelywith seven points for the evening’swork, and his performance i« some¬what reassuring after his slight relapsein the Ohio Wesleyan game. Cap¬tain Fish also tallied seven points, andplayed an easy game at defense.Ashley Plays Steady GameStephenson performed smoothly atforward while offering much assistancein feeding the ball to Yates and Fish.He made two clean shot.s on his ownaccount in addition. Playing his usualdependable game at guard, .Ashleycaused the Marquette team muchtrouble with some stellar defensivetactics.The scoring for the losers was tak¬en care of mainly by the center, Bub¬runan. who was the star for the homecagers. McElliott, Shiplay. Ronzani.and King contributed one goal each.' The fray at Milwaukee wound upj the practice schedule for the Norgren-I ites, and they start Conference com-' petition this week. The'Maroons haveI won games from Bradley, Cornellcollege, and Ohio Wesleyan.Federation WelcomesIncoming Freshmen.As a part of the annual programwhich the Federation of L’niversityWomen provides for entering fresh¬men, the Federation council will holda tea this afternoon at 3:30 in MissWilma .Anderson’s room in FosterhaTl. Leaders of activities will bepresent, and all Freshman women whoare interested are cordially invited toattend.This is in accordance with the pol-ic}' of Federation, which has tried con¬sistently to make Freshmen womenfeel themselves a part of Universitylife, first by an extensive programduring Freshmen Week last fall andlater by events held during the quar¬ter. Knowing that many freshmenwho enter Winter and Spring quar¬ters find difficulty in adjusting them¬selves, they have planned a series ofaffairs designed to meet this need.Page Two THE DAILY MAROON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 7, 1931imlg iiar00ttFOUNDED IN 1901THE OFFICIAL STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGOPublished morninKS, except Saturday.

Simon: Bion B. HowardMIRRORFor the last decade TTie Daily Maroon has utilized its columnsthroughout the winter quarter in presenting the daily progress ofstudent social and dramatic affairs. Mirror, the Washington prom,and Blackfriars have always come through for a good piece of freeadvertising, and inevitably the critics on the paper were called totask by the campus for branding this or that the best ever seenin these parts when it really was terrifically mediocre or outright bad.No doubt, the same procedure is expected this year. However,there seems to be a justification for noting the progress of at leastthe Mirror show daily or weekly—according to the news value theprogress merits, and not according to the amount of publicity deem*ed advisable by the tickets committee, Blackfriars and the Promare still too far away to pass competent judgment on the prospectivevirtues they will possess.Various reasons prompt us to conjecture the success of Mir¬ror this year. In the first place, with all due respects to the ladieswho managed the affair in former years, this seems to be the firsttime the managers and heads have actually taken an interest inwhat was going on, and have tackled the difficult task of launchingthe show at a sufficiently early date for the cast to be drilled in linesand dancing. Most of those on the executive board have had previ¬ous experience with dramatics, publicity, and staging, and so arewell acquainted with the fact that a show is not the result of theprevious night s efforts. It is after all, a concentrated grind, andthe sooner it is begun, the better the show.The second reason for our prediction of success, is the numberof manuscripts received to date. The manuscript editors have ap¬pealed to the right persons for the right type of music and skits,and these right persons have responded. Again, the Mirror execu¬tives were tending to business. They apparently realized quite wellthat talent must be urged to the heights of its efforts, and that nomusician or playwright will of his own free will turn out a master¬piece without first being coaxed and teased a sufficiently extendedlength of time. Whatever psychology was employed, the manu¬scripts have appeared with amazing alacrity.A third reason is suggested by the appointment of FrankParker, an alumnus of the University, as coach for the ballets. Thosewho recall last year’s show will agree with the Mirror heads thatsuch a coach is not only imperative but highly essential if the danc¬ing is not to be mistaken for something else. Mr. Parker will, nodoubt, be acquainted with Mirror problems and so render morebenefit than a stranger, Tbe choice displays a piece of foresightnot familiar to followers of Mirror in past years.

Whatever the success maybe this year, it will be proportionately greater than it actually wouldbe because of the previous failure. Furthermore, immediately afterthe Mirror show’s failure, Blackfriars repeated the trick in an ex¬aggerated degree. By this time the campus has become sick ofseeing failures and is in high hopes that a success is due. If theMirror girls capitalize on this feature, they may arouse an interestthat would otherwise be dormant.As in previous years.

Pro¬fessor Vollmer said yesterday. Thecourse will continue for eleven weeks.No certificate of completion will begiven.IVofessor Vollmer, who is Chief ofPolice of Berkeley, California, andProfessor of Police Administration atthe University, yesterday outlined thescope of the course. The lectures willinclude an analysis of all types ofpresent-day crime, with modern meth¬ods of selecting and training policepersonnel, and the daily duties of allofficers from the chief to the man onthe beat.“The police problem Is one of themost difficult and one of the leastunderstood problems in the UnitedStates.” Cfilef Vollmer told the class.“Police work at its best is a scienceand an art. I believe it inevitableis “that way” about a girl. So farit has not been discovered who thegirl is and the chances of ever findingthat fact out are ever so thin. Everytime Jim calls her up he locks him¬self into the phone booth—and whis¬pers the number to the operator.* * *And furthermore, this departmentwants to send its greetings to Betty,who has been sick for three monthsbut reads this stuff daily.

At¬tempt.*'. to solve it by offering rewardsfor the capture of criminals have beenequally futile. Drastic punishment ofcriminals have proved tio deterrent;it is known that pickpockets reapeda harvest at the public executions heldin England 100 years ago.“A Social Science”“Police work must be studied as ai social science, police training must goon at the professional level. The po¬liceman should not only know hiscriminals and their methods, but mustknow enough about the criminal per¬sonality to distinguish between thosewho are hereditary cases and thosewho are merely misguided. In a sensehe must combine the function of par¬ish priest and social worker with thatof criminal apprehension. In the fu¬ture I see crime-prevention as his chieffunction.”“The .^merican Police” and "TheEuropean Police,” both by RaymondFosdick. were given by ProfessorVollmer as textbooks for the course.BEAUTIFUL TYPINGSarah TaylorWork Collod For and DolWorod1434 Plaiaanre Crt.

He has directedone of the most important studies ofthe Institute of Human Relations ofYale University, the investigation ofbankruptcy which is one of the not¬able research projects in recent legalstudy. Under the auspices of theWickersham Commission, ProfessorDouglas also has participated in astudy of the administration of justicein the Federal Courts. With Profes¬sor Donald Slesinger of the Universityof Chicago and Dean Charles E.Clark of Yale University, he is co¬editor of the legal studies of the So¬cial Trends Committee appointed byPresident Hoover. For several yearshe was associated with the New Yorklaw firm of Cravath, Henderson andDeGersdorf as an authority on thelegal side of financial problems. Pro¬fessor Douglas’ appointment at theUniversity is effective July 1, 1931.With Old Associates.At the University, Profes.sor Doug¬las will be closely associated with twoadministrations with whom he Workedat Yale.

FLEXNER ATTACKS AMERICANCOLLEGES FOR TEACHING RUBBISHThe criticism that American uni¬versities teach too much ‘ rubbish” ismade by Dr. Abraham Flexner, oneof the country’s most distinguishededucators. In a* newly published bookon higher education, he says that“the sort of easy rubbish which maybe counted toward an A. B. degreepasses the limits of credibility,” andthat American universities “haveneedlessly cheapened, vulgarized andmechanized themselves.” Presumably,Dr. F''lexner refers to some of thenumerous electives courses of doubt¬ful educational value which many col¬leges and universities allow to becounted toward a degree. At anyrate, it is his opinion that great unirversities are descending to “humbug”in bestowing degrees that “representneither a substantial secondary edu¬cation nor a substantial vocationalI training”’On the same aay that the dispatchtelling of Dr. Flexner’s criticism ap¬peared in the newspapers, another dis¬pears in the newspapers, another dis¬patch told of a new experiment inhigher education being started at theUniversity of Chicago. The coinci¬dence is interesting, for it may turnout that the University of Chicago’sexperiment is by way of being an an¬swer to Dr. Flexner’s accusation.Under the direction of the youth¬ful President Hutchins, the Univer¬sity of Chicago proposes to reorgan¬ize its component bodies with the end in view of eventually abandoning thetraditional four-year college courseand abolishing such old institutions asthe undergraduate college and thegraduate schools.The plan of reorganization, whichis sanctioned by the trustees and thefaculty, contemplates the division ofthe university into five of buying andwithout regard to requirements, ismain branches, not taking into ac¬count the professional schools. Thesedivisions are to be the arts, the hu-manites and the social, biological andphysical sciences, and the college. Itis proposed to inspire capable stu¬dents to finish their general collegecourse in less than fonr years, andadvancement is to be by comprehen¬sive tests, and not by measure ofcredit hours. In the belief of Presi¬dent Hutchins, better coordination ofteaching and scholarship and a break¬ing-down of departmental limitationswhich bar students from pursuingsubjects related to their prime inter¬est will result from the revised pro¬gram. Under the plan of reorgani¬zation, all faculty members with acommon interest will be grouped inone or another of the five divisions.It will take several years to put thisprogram into full effect, and duringthe transition a system of “creditbookkeeping” will be employed to en¬able students to measure their creditsand transfer them from the old sys¬tem to the new.IjIIIjiiIIII For Your NextUniversity HomeC40Exclusive 1, 2 and 3 RoomApartments Completely Fur¬nished, with Maid Service Daily.Suitable for couples or smallgroups of Students.

Spencer, Dean of theSchool of Commerce and Ad¬ministrationThe idea that a school of businessshould be established at the Univer¬sity of Chicago originated with Pro¬fessor J. Laurence Laughlin, who in1894 proposed that a “School of Com¬merce and Industry” be set up at theUniversity. The plan was approved bythe Universty Senate, but lack of fundsto provide for maintenance of the newschool prevented its establishmnt asa separate division of the universityat that time.The plan was not lost sight of, how¬ever, and in 1898 the university cat¬alog included the “College of Com¬merce and Politics” as one of the threemajor divisions of the university inwhich a student might do his work.Thus the school is one of the oldestin the country, only the WhartonSchool at the University of Pennsyl¬vania (and that established by Rob¬ert E. Lee at Washington and Leeuniversity) antedating it.No Separate FacultyThe first announcement of theschool, appearing the year before the Spanish - American war, requiredcourses' in langues, mathematics, his¬tory, economics, and law, and gavethe student the opportunity to chooselectives that would allow him to ma¬jor in one of the following fields:Banking, General Industries, ForeignCommerce, Consular Service, andJournalism.But even though the “College ofCommerce and Politics” had its name,and a definite curriculum, no separatedean was named, and no seprate fac¬ulty appointed. All that took placewas “merely to secure a grouping ofexisting courses within the existingorganizatfon of the University. Laterthe name was changed to “College ofCommerce and Administration,” butotherwise there was no real change un¬til 1902, when Henry Rand Hatfieldnow of the University of California,was appointed dean. He served fortwo years.Marshall AppointedLittle further change took place inthe program of the school until 1912,when, as the result of a survey startedin 1910, covering collegiate courses inbusiness, Leon C. Marshall as deanreorganized the school, and it as-:sumed its present name. At that timethe school was housed in Cobb hall.Later it was moved across campus toa building on the site of the presentOriental Institute structure; this build¬ing was moved a year ago last sum¬mer to a site back of the UniversityPress building, and again became the(Continued on page 4)PROFESSORor STUDENT -You’ll enjoy the quiet homelikeatmosphere of the1-2 room com¬pletely furnished The WOODLAWN APTS.$50.00 including gjSS-IO Woodluwn Ave.maid service.IN ALL THE WORLDNO SALE LIKE THISOur January Clearance‘60 ®65 *75Stein BlocliSuits anaOvercoatstHEC/p^HubHenry C.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 7, 1931THEATREbyAlbert ArkulesDespite the tremendous barrage of adverse criticism which has greeted herpractically wherever she has played,Ethel Barrymore will appear in “ScarletSister Mary” for four weeks in Chicagoat the Harris theatre beginning January26th. An arrangement has been effecteclwith the Dramatic League of Chicagowhereby Miss Barrymore will appear un¬der yts auspices. Her play will be thefifth of the League's current subscriptionseason and will follow Pirandello's “AsYou Desire Me."With Miss Barrymore will be herdaughter Ethel Barrymore Colt, whomade her stage debut in "Scarlet Siste’-Mary." Miss Colt has received favor¬able notices from the critics, althoughher i>art is a small one and dr. !s not pf'f-mit much range for dramatic interpreta¬tion.The play, of course, is based on i rath¬er wVll known novel of the same nameby Julia Peterkin. The adaptation wasmade by Daniel Reed. The play treatsof the lives of Gullah Negroes. MissBarrymore, faithful to the atmosphere ofthe play, “makes up" as a Negress.Despite the fact that the critics havenot taken kindly to Miss Barrymore'scurrent vehicle, she has stuck to it de¬terminedly. She insists that it is a fineplay. few of the critics laud MissBarrymore’s sincerity but feel that shehas been mis-cast. This complaint hasof late been leveled at a number of ourmore prominent actresses, notably Kaih-arine Cornell, who hasn't “struck gold”since “The Green Hat". The consensusof opinion in that direction is that ourfirst-rate actresses have been dabbling toomuch with fourth-rate plav-.Nevertheless, it is an excellent movethat brings Miss Barrymore to Chicago.Whatever the reaction may be. favoralileor unfavorable, the presence of the “firstlady of the theatre" should be a welcomeaddition to the current season. .And like¬wise the latest of the “royal family,"Ethel Barrymore Colt.* * ♦THE SEA GULLThe Goodman opened las*^ night withChekhov’s “Sea Gull.” a play that Evel.a Gallienne has performed with successin New York.

Buffalo trailsp4 OR miles they stretch across theprairie and up into the foothills, smooth, clearly marked, beaten hard asrock through the centuries by the hoofs of buffaloes on their way to thesalt licks.When the railways came, and the engineers were confronted withthe great bastion of the Rocky mountains, these buffalo trails assumed anew significance. It was found that they always followe the easiestgradients, that they penetrated the mountain fastness by the most directroute.Buffalo trails became one of the greatest assets of the early railwaybuilders. Time, money, energy, were conserved; a vast amount of fruit¬less pioneering and surveying was eliminated, by trusting to the infallibleinstinct which had led the herds along these obscure and little-known ways.Advertising, like those old buffalo trails, provides a clear and unmis¬takable path among th6 perplexities of modern buying. It points the wayto the goal of safety and sound value; it avoids the pitfalls of unknown andunreliable goods. By following the advertisements in this paper you arefollowing the high road to true economy.MAKE IT A HABIT: FOLLOW THE BROAD,SURE TRAIL OF ADVERTISING4I (Reprinted from the Daily Maroon 1928-29)
