This high¬ly important find, the most importantyet made in the fight to prevent “flu”epidemics, was announced yesterdayafternoon by Dr. Isadore S. Falk,Professor of Hygiene and Bacterio¬logy, who directed the six-year ef¬fort to detect which of dozens of pos¬sible bacteria might be convicted ofcausing the disease. The announce¬ment was made exactly one year afterthe present experiments were begun.3,800 Germs sx>n8ideredApproximately 3,800 different mic¬robes were considered before the“pleomorphic streptococcus” was fin¬ally indicted, and after exhaustivestudy, convicted. Dr. Falk is nowable to “produce" the dangerous germ iby swabbing the throat of anyone who jhas an “influenza cold,” picking out jthe streptococcus in its mild form andintensifying its virulence. By spray¬ing the throats of monkeys with mic¬robes from the virulent culture he isable to produce an acute influenza, re¬sembling human influenza in practic¬ally every sympton, at will.The influenza germ was actuallyfound during the influenza epidemicof Decembci' 1928, along with manyother bacteria, but was not definitelyidentified as such till long afterward,when hundreds of other “bugs” weregradually liminated as suspects.Fourteen Assist FalkFourteen members of the Bacterio¬logy department, all of whom develop¬ed influenza during the frantic daysof the epidemic, assisted Dr. Falk inthe work, toiling an average of 16 !hours a day and sleeping on theirdesks, in order that they could getsamples of all the suspect germs be¬fore the epidemic ran its course. ;The various strains of germs werekept alive at first by inoculating mon¬keys with sprays and blood transfu¬sions, influenza in simians being sim¬ilar to that in men. Over 125 mon¬keys were used in the course of theexperiments, which have recently beencompleted to the point of definite an¬nouncement. During the year mostof the members of the research staffhave had repeated mild attacks of thedisease in handling the germ, despitethe great sanitary precautions. Because human beings acquire an im¬munity which lasts several weeks fol¬lowing an attack, none of the researchw'orkers could offer themselves as sun-jects.Dr. Falk made his announcementyesterday at a meeting of the Bac¬teriology club. “An enormous amountof research work has been done onthe influenza problem since the greatepidemic of 1918-19 killed millions ofpeople,” he said, “but for none of the(Continued on page 10)Dames Club GivesChristmas ProgramA Christmas program will be givenat the regular meeting of the Univer¬sity Dames club, tomorrow at 3 inIda Noyes hall.

Hutchins’ MessageOn the calendar, Christmas andNew Year's day stand close together.I could wish the University no betterfortune than having faculty and stu¬dents on the same terms of fellowshipas these two holidays.1 am glad that 1 have this chanceto give back a small part of the goodwill that has been mine since Septem¬ber. Merry Christmas to all and agood year ahead.Robert Maynard Hutchins.Swift’s GreetingsThe year 1929 has been one of largesignificance for the University. Wehave but recently participated in theinauguration of a new President. Theselection of Dr. Hutchins as our lead¬er would in itself be an event to makethe year memorable in our history,and we know that the wisdom of thechoice will be increasingly demon¬strated in the future. To PresidentHutchins we locdc for a long adminis¬tration, marked by enthusiasm forscholarship, the vision that meanscontinuance of our remarkable pro¬gress, and the courage to make ourUniversity unique in its leadership.I have said before, and repeat here,that courage is the outstanding char¬acteristic of the University. It re¬quired courage for President Harperto establish the university that he con¬ceived, courage not only to overcomethe many practical difficulties thatconfront any new institution but th^finer courage to undertake a totallynew type of university. That spirithas marked the University during thethirty-seven years of its history. Wehave been willing to experiment andtry that which seems to us merit¬orious. We are proud of that spiritand vigilant that w'e cherish it.With that courage we have hadfrom our Presidenti .rare vision whichwas transformed into striking pro¬gress. The University is great be¬cause its leaders have had the visionto know what effort would be of mostvalue and service to the world, andgone ahead with ability and enthus¬iasm to achieve their purpose. Be¬cause of that vision, we have beenable to assume leadership in manyfields and lead the way into new types(Continued on page 10) Catherine Scott Marcella KoerberMarcella Koerber and Harold Haydon will lead the right icing ofthe Washington Prom, which ivill he held sometime near February22.

He was tenwhen he manned his first sail boat, acraft which he and his father hadfound stranded on a reef. They pickedit up, put it into ship-shape condi¬tion and for the next seven or eightyears the boat provided the chiefsource of amusement for the neigh¬borhood “gang.” Ever since that timeDr. Gilkey has ma ined his own craft..Shortly after their honeymoon andwhile they were living in California Dean Gilkey asked several of Mrs.Gilkey’s friends to go sailing. Muchto his very evident surprise, the ladiespresent refused. It was then that Mrs.Gilkey made her famous remark,“Anyone may criticize his preachingor his ministerial duties, but let any¬one find fault with his sailing—andthere’ll be trouble!”ROBERT V. MERRILL“I—I’m shy,” and Robert Valentin*'Merrill, head University Marshal,laughed a bit at his modest inability todisclose to the public eye that oneachievement of which he is mo^tproud.But if he proved reticent regardingthe past, he grew equally loquaciousas to the future: for Mr. Merrill has adream, that some day the Universitywill boast a school of music. It is inmusic that his chief interest lies, trfact, he has even admitted taking pariin amateur operettas a la Gilbert ami.Sullivan.His active work in founding such aschool dates back to 1923-4, when hew'as one of the six faculty membersof Dean Ernest H. Wilkins’ commit¬tee to investigate possibilities and in¬stigate plans for a musical branch ofthe University.

Yes,we know all about those golf scores,but Mr. Boucher has a witness andeverything. The score was made atthe Olympia Fields Country club andis three under par.In addition to his golfing activi¬ties as you perhaps know, DeanBoucher is a professor of history.In this capacity he is most proud ofthe letters which have come to himfrom other historians in variousparts of the country in answer toan address which he delivered asPresident of the Mississippi ValleyHistorical association.

Constantfear of being subordinated by the graduate schools has soured themon the expectancy of relief. They label overtures to revitalize theirstation, “sheer idealism” and allow the administrative enthusiasmto bound back and temper down. There is little of the amity andsympathetic accord that might attend the apparent liberality of theUniversity; there is too strong a line of demarcation, too rigid asegregation of the undergraduate body from the faculty, admin¬istration, and graduates.They are forced back constantly to themselves; they must findrelief in their own divertissements which comes to assume para¬mount status. They feel the oppression of compulsory class attend¬ance, grade and sequence requirements, and are sensitive to theinsignificance of the individual. Class-cutting and postponement of | intention of conquering empires or reserving a niche in the Hall ofassignments are made without remorse. Enthusiasm shifts to extra- F^nie. Vi'e shall expect reverses and bitter disappointment. Forcurricular and outside activities. twenty years we have been indulged with the soothing opiates ofSo student cynicism is somewhat vitiated by this sort of life, i education. The twenty-first year will bring the astringents.However, they still await eagerly some concrete evidence that their |problems are receiving attention. The induction of President ; GREETINGSThere is to that philosophy of life which expects little goodfrom any human enterprise a decided virtue. Pessimists are afterall never disillusioned.Co-incident with the start of each new year come roseatedreams and ambitions. “It will be different. It will be happier,brighter, and more prosperous.” And even the grey weights ofretrospection cannot suppress that phantom hope.But we are inclined i-' pessimism. Of 1930 \ye expect nothingbut unhappiness, disaster, and all the scurvy tricks of an unkind fate.We shall leave the cloistered halls oi indolence, but not with theHutchins is not the only factor that should mitigate this reticence.Hope has been reduced to such a low level that concrete problemsin all their ugliness are brought out. Attention is being turned awayfrom building and expansion to the plaints of the students.They are no longer incidental or background material. Thecries of “idealism” are retreating before the refocussed vigor ofthe administration. The Daily Maroon feels that it is neither buoy¬ant nor sentimental; it is not the contagion of Christmas. But therevival of undergraduate honors work in most of the major de¬partments. definite plans for raising the calibre of instruction inthe colleges, and a program which, if eventuated, will eliminate theoppression of grades, sequences, and compulsion is definite evidencethat the new administration is turning to the real sources of unrest.And The Daily Maroon, through its contact with the under¬graduate policy, feels that there is room for hope and an assurance |that our dilemmas are nearing resolution. [ It is with a grim sort of pleasure that we anticipate the businessof earning a livelihood, and no rotarian enthusiasm prompts thatsentiment. We are nauseated with theory and hypothesis, tired ofplaying with mere figments of the imagination. Two years ago wehad our fill, and since then we have experienced nothing but achronic dyspepsia, which we have tried to alleviate with that scantdose of material experience which participation in the most practicalof college activities provides—The Daily Maroon.

Anyway, what does it all mat¬ter? With this last issue we can put the thought of newspaper work^ aside and start on the serious business of passing our courses andi getting in papers long overdue. Maybe, by the grace of our pro-! lessors we will be with you again next quarter. If not, our criticali friends shall be able to gloat over our plight, and say—“Died fortunehunting.” Merry Xmas.1 Campus activities tend to lead students into work in which! they are interested besides their curricular activities. We who haveI chosen the Business Staff of The Daily Maroon as our activity sel-' dom come to the attention of the campus, but you may be sureI nothing passes but that we are not concerned. Day in and day: out our men trail the streets getting advertising to put out the paperwhile their brother workers comb the campus for news. Our pre¬decessors have progressed from a scrawny leaflet to a paper whichis well representative of the University. It is up to the business staffto help keep this thing going, which can be done by hard workingpeople who would rather forego the glory for the more drab workof advertising and business management.ANOTHER SLANT ON DEFERRED RUSHINGThis fall within one week twelve clubs pledged 1 14 women.The action recalled possibilities of deferred rushing. Three yearsago when such a proposition was voted upon by club women itmet with decisive defeat, but those who were freshmen then andvoted against the plan are now agitating in its favor.Within the first week of the freshman’s college career ten peicent are chosen to be the social leaders of the campus for fouryears. Entering women are introduced to college life, not by meansof anything academic, or cultural, but by club rushing. To themthe importance of these social groups at once becomes over-empha¬sized. At the end of seven days ninety per cent of the freshmanwomen learn they are to have no share in this apparently predomi¬nant phase of university activity.But the mechanics of deferred rushing have been found diffi¬cult. First, they will require rushing rules which were so satisfac¬torily abandoned a few years ago, because of lack of support onthe part of the clubs. Second, the deferred plan will undoubtedlyresult in a longer period of rushing. In spite of rules, an attractivewoman will be rushed from the day she enters the University untilshe is officially pledged. This situation cannot be avoided unlessthe plan is backed unanimously. Lack of funds will be no deterrence.Regardless of close supervision, clubs will run into debt.Campus clubs are faced with a problem the solution of whichthey vaguely feel will be deferred rushing. Hasty selection of mem¬bers and superficial acquaintanceships certainly constitute a genuinedifficulty. But will deferred rushing solve the problem? Such asystem requires the loyal support of every club woman, and strongcampus tradition in its favor. At present we have neither.The clubs are faced with a problem, but its solution will neverbe found in deferred rushing.2^ ^^0rf0ctPERMANENT WAVEand Hair Dress\AMHair Dressed and Trimmed Free with WaveAre you letting your hair grow?

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 13. 1929Maroon Proposes Music School CurriculumFrankenstein Suggests SeriesOf Courses to Institute StudyOf History, Theory, EstheticsBy Alfred V. FrankensteinIt has been proposed that the Uni¬versity establish a music department,and the editorr of The Maroon, actingon the rather curious assumption thatthe writer knows something about theart of music, have asked that I con¬tribute to the Christmas issue an out¬line of the form which this departmentmight assume. In complying with thisrequest I must beg the reader's indul¬gence for the one-sided viewpoint ap¬parent in this sketch. My small storeof acquaintance with music causes meto see some features of the proposeddepartment absurdly to their ultimatedetails, while other features remainvastly blank and unsketchable in mymind.No Compromises.\11 projects for instruction in anysubject have to make compromises ofthe sort which President Hutchins sovaliantly combats—the compromisesattendant upon the presence in the stu¬dent body of the brilliant, the mediocreand the poor student. The project fora music department must also makethese compromises, but in this depart¬ment they would be less serious thanin other branches of learning. For itis propose*! to teach music not as aprofession but as an adornment of life.The music department w’ould be to thegenerality of the student body as ameans of present and future culturalenjoyment. To the few it might verywell appeal as a means of technical in¬struction in the musical sciences, butthis phase of the department will notbe touched upon here.To Deal With Music AppreciationThe proposed department, then,would deal ■ w ith what is generallytermed "musical appreciation," a wordin whose name so many crimes havebeen committed that I suggest itsabandonment from the outset and thesubstitution of the phrase "musicalhistory." Now musical history is avery curious business. Centuries ofthe history of the graphic arts and ofliterature are omnipresent and living entities today. The dramas, the philos¬ophies, the sculptures and the archi¬tecture of classic Greece are vividlywith us today. The music of ancientGreece has died the comp^etest ofdeaths. The music of Dante’s time andof Michangelo’s day lies, in the main,forgotten. Indeed one may say that,so far as present music is concerned,musical his^iry had its beginningstwo centuries and a quarter ago. .\ndeven much of the music of the ex¬tremely recent day of J. S. Bachsounds upon present instruments notat all as it sounded upon the instru¬ments of Bach’s time.Trace Evolution of MusicHere, then, we are faced with a ra¬ther terrifying problem. In order toshow the evolution of the Occjdentalmusical art of the last two and a quar¬ter centuries we must trace musicthrough a morgue of a thousand years.The situation is difficult, for to submitthe musical uninitiate to a properlye.xtensive study of these centuries ofdead music is something like forcing aperson eager to read to spend a cou¬ple of years repairing printing pi essesbefore giving him a btiok. On theother hand to dispense with the musi-^cal deadhouse is to oihit from the col- \lege musical curriculum the one aspect jof music that cannot be absorbed in 'the concert hall.Use P^chological Approach |I Clearly, the historical approach to |I musical history will not do. But there j! is another possible approach, a psy- ichological one, based upon the needs jand interests of the student. Each mu¬sician will work out his version of thispsychological approach according tohis own lights. The writer’s view, ad¬mittedly based upon limited experi¬ence, is something like this:Will Draw Intellectual GroupA university music department ofthe type suggested will draw for itsclasses upon that group of the studentbody which has awakened intellectu¬ally to t/e existence of music, ora realization which is the beginning of wisdom. In our society the musicalmedium that causes the awakening isin nine cases out of ten the symphonyorchestra, and in a great number ofcases jvhich I have observed a specificcorpus of orchestral works is respon¬sible. In my experience the composi¬tions which, more' than any others,contribute to the intellectual arousal ofmusic lovers are the symphony of Ce~sar Franck and the excerpts fromW agner’s music dramas that are givenon symphony programs. There aregood reasons for this fact, but to gointo these reasons is outside the scopeof these notes.Beginning Is ImportantW agner and Franck are the awak-eners, not Tschaikowsky or Liszt orGhopin. The musical pilgrim's prog¬ress from these beginnings dependsupon which on^of the eye-openers hasthe stronger appeal. If it is Wagnerlie is likely to go to the other musicaldramatists Berlioz, .Strauss, Debussyand the moderns. If it is Franck he islikely to proceed to the other sym-phonists—Brahms. Beethoven, S-.liu-mann. In either case the developmentis from the late nineteenth century or-ward and backward, and not from theeighteenth century forward in s'rictchronological order. The understand¬ing of Mozart. Haydn, Bach and Han¬del comes latest.Give Clue to ArrangementHere, then, is a clue to the arrange¬ ment of music courses in a universitymusic department. One begins thestudy of musical history with theworks of W^agner or of Franck andcontinues it according to one’s bentand predilections, under guidance, asone takes up the various courses deal¬ing with different periods in literature.A Quarter to Each.Assuming the courses in musical his¬tory to be divided according to thequarter system in use at this Univer¬sity one can foresee among others aquarter on Franck and his school, onWagner, on Brahms and the lessersymphonists of his day, on the RussianFive and Tschaikowsky, on the lessernational schools of the late nineteenth jcentury, on the early modernists, onthe contemporaries, on the great earlyRomanticists, on Beethoven, on Haydnand Mozart, on Handel and Bach, onthe opera, on folk music, primitive mu¬sic and Oriental music, and on the cen- |turies of the musical deadhouse. Theessential material in all of these ;courses would be “music in the air.”Reproductive machinery of a type farsuperior to any commercial machineon the market can be constructed, andthis would make possible the detailedstudy and frequent repetition of mu->ical works. But the use of reproduc¬tive machinery must be onlya part of the plan. Singers and instru- ;mentalists must be brought to theclassroom, and their services made use of at least as often as the services ofthe reproductive instruments.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 13. 1929 Page SevennUKOONDICSlIPREPORT OF MUSICSCHOOL RESEARCHThe Daily Maroon has unearthedthe shelved report of the 1924 “Bel¬ter Yet” Committee on a proposedschool of music Its statistics are.in some ways, antiquated. But theessential conditions which broughtforth the definite recommendationstill remain. We leave you tojudge the effectiveness and applica¬bility of the report. Student andadministrative comment is solicited..After President Harper’s attempt tomove the American Conservatory ofMusic to campus as a nucleus for apractical course in music, the firstconstructive step was made by one ofthe “Better Yet” Committees insti¬tuted by Dean Wilkins. Robert V.Merrill. University Marshal, coach ofthe fencing team, and member of theFrench department, headed this com¬mittee. on which also served J. M.Abraham, A. B. Copeland. MarthaI-cutsker, Ruth Parker. T). B. Reed,and Lloyd Rohrke.The investigations of this group re¬sulted in a definite recommendationfor a music school or a new depart¬ment fo - the study of music. The re¬port of the committee, which was ten¬dered on -April 5. 1924, is as follows;REPORT OF THE BETTER YETCOMMITTEE NO. 2, ON ADEPARTMENT ORSCHOOL OF MUSICThe committee’s duty was to assem¬ble data and present recommendationswith regard to the following question:Should the University of Chicago es¬tablish a school, or, in default of that,a Department of Muaic?The committee’s work fell into twodivisions: first, to ascertain so far aspossible what existing opinion was inthe University upon the subject; and,second, to ascertain what provision forinstruction in music has been made inother institutions whose conditions ap¬proximated those at the University. Onthe basis of these investigations, thecommittee was to present its recom-mendation& In execution of its firsttask, the committee issued to the un- STUDENT OPINIONShouldn’t the appreciation shownby the audience at the last Sym¬phony concert given at Mandel Hallbe a convincing proof of the inter¬est that would be attached to plansfor the establishment of a Deparr-ment of Music at the University?Musical events are all too rare atthe University. Too many plea.shave been made to the undergradu¬ate body to attend the lectures towhich only graduate students seemto be atraced. Why not offer some¬thing that naturally appeals to bothschools, instead of worrying whyundergraduates think that only 15hours of lectures a week areenough. Acquaintance with thehistory of music and training inmusical appreciation are as essen¬tial to a w'ell-rounded education asthe academic courses now offered.Irene Martin.dergraduate body a number of ques¬tionnaires, and collated the replies soI obtained; in execution of the second,a study was made of the announce-I ments of existing mu^c schools and de-1 partments in other institutions of Uni- :' versity or college rank, supplementedI in certain cases by correspondence orpersonal interview.I. Part 1 offers the result of the:questionnaire, based on the total of ;i replies made to the several questions, :^ but leaving the detail to the statistical iappendix. I thus gives a general view iof undergp-aduate opinion as reflected jin the replies.2,000 to 2,500 questionnaires wereissued, of which 227 were returned Iwith information useful to the com- |mittee. Inasmuch as the filling out and |retiuTi of these questionnaires was en-, tirely voluntary, the committee con- !' siders this number significant.To question 1: 227 students ex¬pressed their interest in studying mu-'sic at the University if suitable courses ■should be offered. Their interests iwere in the following lines— many ofthem checking five or six items.a) 152 were interested in courses inthe appreciation of music.b) 113 in the history of music.c) 91 in harmony. |4) 52 in composition and cotmter- ipoint.e) 32 in orchestration.f) 31 in the teaching of music in thepublic schools. I g) 70 in voice training.h) 119 in instrumental training; ofthese86 were interested in piano.15 in violin.15 in organ.19 in eleven other instruments.Certain tendencies appear from theabove data: in the first place, the pre¬ponderant desire is for courses whichoffer such knowledge about music ascould be acquired without either tech¬nical study or actual practice—that is,a desire for generally educationalcourses. Next in intensity is the de¬sire for definite training, whether vo¬cal or instrumental, the latter being al¬most tMrice as much in demand as theformer. The more technical or pro¬fessional courses, are naturally less indemand, but may be expected to becoupled with courses in practical train¬ing.To Question 2: 61 students were re¬corded as studying music concurrent¬ly with their University work—andsome half dozen reported that the lat¬ter had supplanted the former eitherat or since their entrance into the Uni¬versity. Eight were studying theory, 11voice, and 49 instrumental music; ofthese last. 36 were studying piano^ 8violin, 2 harp, 2 flute, 1 organ, andthree various other instruments.A very large proportion of the stu¬dents who answered this question werealso answering question No. 1; theearnestness and self-denial of men andwomen who keep up both Universitywork and private study is worthy ofmention, inasmuch as the average stu¬dent making a report of time andmoney devoted to music study record¬ed an expenditure of 6% hours and$4.75 weekly. It is evident that suchpersons would form the backbone ofany group of serious music studentswhich might be developed by coursesgiven in the University.The average weekly time spent onmusic by those recorded as studyingit is allocated as follows: to lessons, 1hour; to travel to and from lessons,ll4 hours; to practice, 8 hours. Itis noteworthy that on the averageeach student spent half as much tinleagain in travel as is in the lessons forwhich the travel, is performed; it iseasy to reckon the saving in time andmoney which would result from theinstitution of corresponding courses inthe U.The grouping of data by classesbrings out a significant point: thereare nearly twice as many freshmenkeeping up their training along with the University work as members ofany other class. This preponderance isonly partially offset by the fact diatthe Freshman class is normally largerthan any other; the evidence remainsthat an appreciable number of fresh¬men reach the University with enoughinterest in music for them to study itwhile carrying the normal load of Uni¬versity work. The Tall in this munberin the later years justifies the inferencethat these students are afterwardsobliged to relinquish a study whichhas commanded tiieir loyalty and self-sacrifice, and which would, with of¬ficial recognition, have definitely con¬tributed to their education. It isequally legitimate to suppose that nu¬merous eligible candidates for member¬ship in the University are deterredfrom matriculation by the absencefrom the curriculum of courses inmusic.Such comments as were made byanswering students, beyond the replies to definite questions, indicated a livelydesire on their part that courses inmusic stiould be established in theUniversity. Moreover, the committeethinks it worthy of note that thecourses desired by the greatest numberof students are those which wouldcontribute directly to the developmentof musical taste, intelligence and pro¬ficiency in individuals and in the Uni¬versity community.II. The data gathered from an- |nouncements and similar sources not Ibeing susceptible of codification for |the purposes of the committee, itsrecommendations, based none the less ion those data, are here presented: i1. That a Department of Music be 'as soon as possible established in the | Univeraty in such form that its ex¬pansion into a separate school could beeffected with the least possible admin¬istrative dislocation.2. That the list of studies acceptedby the U. for admission to the col¬leges be extended to include entrancecredits in music, validated either byexamination or by the successful com¬pletion of a specified course in theDepartment of Music.(Continued on page 10)SPECIAL SALE FORCHRISTMASTrunks, Brief Cases, LatestHand Bags, Laundry BagsAll Kinds of RepairingHartman TrunksHyde Park 09801117 East 55th St. FRIDAY NITE ISCOLLEGE NITEFREE DRINKSzvhich meansGinger Ale, Lemonades, Soft Drinks.All that you can consume—in otherw'ords everything in glasses free—the entire cost of an evening’s funhere is only $1.10 per person.“To Bert Kelly of Chicago goes thecredit for originating the Jazz band.”—Sat.

DECEMBER 13. 1929 /Zimbalist, HessSoloists on NextQuarter’s ProgramIf a woman’s past actions can berelied upon, Myra Hess, the pianistwho will play in Mandel Hall. January29. under the auspices of the Univer¬sity Orchestral Association, will en¬tertain her audience with selectionsfrom the classics, Scarlatti, Bach, andMozart. In her twenty-two years ofpublic appearance, the British pian¬ist has shown that her abilities werenot only those of the brilliant, virtuo¬so but of the interpretative artist sen¬sitive to musical beauty wherever itappears.Studied in LondonBorn of British parentage in Lon¬don in 1890, Miss He>s besan hermusical education while in her earlvchildhood under the tutelage of JulianPascal and Orlando Mo/gan. Herfirst public recognition came when ?hewas only twelve years old. At thisage she won a scholarship on thebasis of her excellent juvenile play¬ing.For five years after this award, shestudied and was taught under the di¬rection of Tobias Matthay and it wasbefore his critical ear that she gavrher first public concert to a Londonaudience in 1907. Miss Hess’s suc¬cess was immediate; numerous invi¬tations were sent inviting her to play-in different cities. Her record showsthe public’s approval of her stylewhich proclaims the understanding ar¬tist ready to grasp musical beautywherever present.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1929 Page NineTHIS WAY OUTBy Albert Arkules BATTLE LAKE FORESTBy Albert ArkuleeBob Zuppke told this one at thebanquet gfiven last Friday in CoachStagg’s honor. It seems there wasa father who wanted to send hisboy to college last year. Being ath¬letically minded he desired to sendhim to the school which had the bestfootball team. He looked over therecords of various schools and de¬cided that Notre Dame would fill thebill. Moreover, Notre Dame was aschool with a lot of spirit and feel¬ing. Having picked out NotreDame for his son, the father chancedone day to meet a friend and in¬formed him about his son’s prospec¬tive. alma mater."But why Notre Dame?" thefriend asked.“Ah, they got a real football teamthere!” the father replied.“But they’ve lost four games thisyear,” the friend replied.“Oh, that’s all right. The Popeannulled those.”Pat Page told one on The OldMan that had everybody, includingThe Old Man himself, chuckling.Way back in the palmy days whenPat was making a name for himselfas a Maroon athlete he did a fairjob of pitching. During one springThe Old Man took the baseball team <south for a trip. One of the stopswas Purdue. In those days Purduehad a band at the baseball gameswhich tooted so effectively that Italmost invariably drove oppositionteams nutty.It proved to be a tight game thatafternoon. Pat was working smooth¬ly on the mound for Chicago. In¬ning after inning went by withneither team being able to securean advantage.IThe Purdue band had been trying Ievery inning to get Pat’s goat.Whenever he started to walk out of ^the dugout toward the mound the iPurdue band would play a razzing |tune to accompany Pat’s solo walk. |You can imagine how Pat felt. It ibegan to worry The Old Man, how- |ever. The Old Man believed that if jit kept on much longer Page wouldsuccumb to the Purdue band.When Pat came into the dugoutthe next inning Coach Stagg told himto change his steps as he walked outto the mound. Pat followed order*.He steppe I gingerly out of the dug-out and waited. Sure enough, thePurdue band broke out with itsbrassy tune. But Pat jinxed theband by changing his steps. Pat felta lot better when he reached themound. The spell of the Purduelooters had been broken. Postscript:The Maroons won the game.Then there was one E. C. Patter¬son, the host of the party, told onZuppke. It seems Zupp has a habitof walking about the streets inChampaign during a football seasonwith his coat collar up and his faceshowing a mass of scowls. Thisgives the Illinois students the im¬pression Zuppke is thinking up playsfor his team. Everybody steps asideto let Zupp go by.One afternoon Zuppke bumpedinto Patterson. Pat was pickingAll-Western and All-American teamsfor Collier’s."Pat,” said Zuppke, “please don’tpick any Illinois men on your All-Western team this year. It’s badpublicity for the boys. Makes ’em‘swell-headed.”“Well, for your sake, Zupp, I’lldo it,” replied Patterson. “But bythe way, have you any pictures ofyour men. We may want to seethem.”"Why, sure, Pat, here’s a stack of’em,” was Zuppke’s rejoinder, and hepulled some pictures out of hispockets with the qualifications of hisplayers written on the back.

I Changnon Leads ChicagoAttack; TeamsUntriedPresenting three popular meml)ers of the coaching sta ff, all of whom are facing a new season with their work cutout for them. Coach Norgren will send his l>asketl)all team into action tomorrow night against Lake Forest. Crisler iscoaching freshman basketball and will inaugurate indoor baseball early ne.xt quarter. Coach Hoffer, who has developednine conference championship teams, and finished second on four occasions, is out to annex another title. His sipiad getsunder way in January. The conference meet will lie held at Chicago in March, at which time Chicago will have ampleopportunity to revenge the loss of its title last year to Illinois. .All three coaches have been coaching Maroon teams anumber of seasons. Crisler and Norgren are still remembered for their exploits on the gridiron, diamond, and hardwoodfloor.Tank Teams FaceDifficult Season;Squad Looks GoodWith a hard schedule before them th«.swimming and water polo teams are set¬tling down to strenuous work.

On Nov.26 and Dec. 9 the polo teams Iiad prac¬tice games at the Chicago .Athletic .As¬sociation.The swimming team has plenty of mento enter in all events.

Jack Menzies, captain and theonly senior on the sguad, is the outstand¬ing member of the gymnastic troupe.-/'t 'J. vii^.: v.. r., ■ The 1929 Maroon gridiron seasonwill go down into the records para¬doxically as being both successful andalso mediocre. In six major combatsthe Maroons split even; three of thelosses were sustained in conferencetilts, but the Maroons evened up bytrimming Washington and Princetonin intersectional matches.The Maroons, who two years agowere declared as strangers to the for¬ward pass, flashed an aerial attackthis season that dazzled more thanone of its conference opponents, andwhich made Princeton and Washing¬ton look silly. The Old Man, alwaysa pioneer in the game, took the for¬ward pass and developed variationswhich stamped him as being tar moreI)rogressive than many ot his fellowcoaches.The season started auspiciouslyenough for the Maroons. In a doubleheader Chicago defeated Beloit 27 to0 and Forest by a 9 to 6 score.The following week Chicago open¬ed its conference schedule by surpris¬ing not only Pat Page but a highlytouted Indiana team. The Maroonsrolled through the Pagenien for a 13to 6 victory.The Maroons enjoyed an interludefrom major activities the followingSaturday but spent the afternoon pro¬fitably by taking Ripon and IndianaState Normal into camp. Ripon wentdown to the tune of 10 to 0. WallyMarks, one of Coach Stagg’s pupils,ha‘d hopes of ekeing out a victoryover his teacher but his State Normaloutfit was given an 18 to 0 drubbingfor their troubles.The anvil chorus from Purdue next Grapplers FinishHard Training AsMat Season NearsLast year he won the all-around con¬ference championship. His form thisyear has Ijeen equal to the best showingshe made last year. He has improvedconsiderably since the season got underway and should be in a fair way to winevery event he competes in.“D. L.” is chiefly concerned withbuilding up a suporting cast for hiscaptain. Four juniors, Cobb, Bromund.Hutchinson and Johnson, all of whom ^apiH'ared in the conference meet, will be Stagg Field and what happen-that afternoon proved rather dis-depended upon to score points in all thvevents they appear in. Bromund lookslike a blue ribbon winner in the ClubSwinging event, as he won the confer¬ence championship in 1929. The othershave all given promise of comingthrough in fine style this season.Five sophomores have been workingconsistently all season to win places onthe squad. Olson, D’Alvarez. Phillips,Bell and Howard form the second yeargroup. Coach Hoffer spent considerabletime with them as freshmen and hasthem well bro’xen in on fundamentals.Their progress has been excellent, “D.L.” declares, and believes that they maydevelop into point winners in the sched¬uled meets. edtressing to the Maroon cause. TheMaroons fell apart trying to get stall¬ed against the Phelan machine. TheBoilermakers, on the contrary, werein rare form, and with Welch, Yune-vich and Harmeson performing in.stellar fashion the Maroons took it onthe nose 26-0.The Maroons went cast the nextweek to resume relations with thePrinceton Tigers. The Maroons open¬ed up their repertoire of' passesagainst the Tigers in full blast. Whenthe excitement of the afternoon hadsubsided the Maroons bad tweakedthe Tigers’ tail to the extent of a15-7 victory. With a full, hard schedule ahead.Coach Torres is particularly fortunatein having, besides a large amount ornew promising material, several vet¬erans whose work has been notable mthe last few years on the mat. Thewrestling mats have been the scene ofstrenuous activity since early thisquarter. The close of the football sea¬son imbfbed the squad w'ith a newspirit by the addition of r\t\i grapplersfresh from the gridiron.The performance of Louis, Savist-sky, Todhunter, Willett, Busee, andSonderby in the Y.M.C.A. meet givespromise of an interesting and success¬ful season for 19.30. This early andcontinued training displays a deter¬mination to make a commendable teameven better.Last season the niatmen finishedfourth in the Conference competition,being led by Michigan, Illinois and In¬diana. The wrestling schedule forthis year has been completed. Elevenmeets have been arranged for theMaroon artists. Three of these con¬tests will be fought out in Maroon ter¬ritory; five on foreign mats; and forthree the place is yet to be chosen.February 15th is the only open dateon the schedule. The following is themat schedule for the coming season. By Albert ArkulesThe 1929 edition of the Maroon bas¬ketball team, soon to blossom out as a1930 issue, will make their opening bowof the season tomorrow night in Bart¬lett gym with Lake Forest College fur¬nishing the opposition.The competition which will afford theMaroons their first test is not of a ser¬ious nature but in view of the fact thatCoach Norgren’s material is untried theMaroons may find the going a bit heavy.Changnon CaptainThe offensive work of the Maroonstomorrow evening will be entrusted toCaptain Harry Changnon, Sidney Yatesand Bernard Wein. Changnon, a vet¬eran of two years' service, has playedbrilliant basketball for the Maroons inthe past. His basket eye has not beenconsistent in past seasons but it is hopedthat he will finally begin to click con¬sistently this season.Yates, a junior, showed much promiselast year, although Coach Norgren didnot use him much. This year he hasstepped into Kaplan’s shoes and ha«been holding down the berth in capablefashion in the daily workouts. Weinis a sophomore who has been flashingexcellent form.Norgren’s biggest loss was at the cen¬ter post. Virgil Gist, brilliant Maroonpivot flash, graduated last year. Boesel.a senior, who saw some action last sea¬son, has been dividing the honors .withBunge, who starred for the Maroons onthe gridiron this past season. Bungeis a powerful fellow with plenty of pepand agility. Boesel has plenty of heightto his credit—he is six feet four inches—and is making a determined bid forthe position.Many GuardsAt the guards. Coach Norgren has awealth of material competing for Var¬sity honors. Marshall Fish, a veteranfrom last year’s hardwood campaign, isleading a pack of earnest candidates forthe vacant positions. Joe Temple, stockyMaroon halfback, has been given muchattention by Coach Norgren. Ashley,Carpenter, Hedeen and Kowalski areother men who are prominent in theguard struggle.Coach Norgrn is employing a newsystem of attack this year. It closelyresembles a blocking type of game, inwhich the guards cleverly take off op¬posing players. It is a style of gamewhich may prove very effective provid¬ing Coach Norgren has the men whocan execute the formation.Phi Belts Lead in IntramuralRace for Organization PointsA new group of organizations havesupplanted the old standbys as leadersin organization points, so figures re¬leased by the I-M department plainlyindicate. At the time the point stand¬ings were published, credit had notbeen given to fraternities for the swim¬ming carnival, but it is not believedthat the position of the first five teamswill be affected.Phi Delta Theta leads the pack witha total of 141 points. Phi Sigma Deltarests in second place with 137 pointsto its credit. Phi Sigma Delta maysupplant Phi Delta Theta in leadershipwhen final figures are released inas¬much as it made a strong showing inthe Swimming Carnival.Tau Delta Phi is in third place with125 points. Fourth place is held byKappa Nu with 122points. Psi Up-silon is in fifth place with a total ri121 points.A total of 883 men competed in thefall sports program of the Intramural department. Touchball led with 395participants. 200 competed in theHorseshoes tournament which wascompleted early this week. Cross¬country drew 62 competitors, whilewrestling engaged 80 men.The winter quarter will usher in anintensive intramural program, domi¬nated by the basketball tournamentand the winter carnival. Plans havebeen made to start the first games olthe tournament the second week ofthe quarter. JTffiThe tournament will be conductedalong the same lines as last year’stournament with both “A” and “B”leagues. Fraternities must enter teamsin the “.A’’ league in order to certifyteams in “B" competition. Players inone league are ineligible to play in theother league.Standard basketball rules will befollowed. Teams are urged to playtheir scheduled games and avoid for¬feits.Page Ten THE DAILY MAROON, FRIDA' ’.

We have ^ feltthe lack of such a department fora long time; until now it has beenan impossibility, but at least thetime has come when every effortis being utilized to bring about theestablishment of a department of¬fering courses in the appreciationof music, history of music, count¬erpoint and composition, orches¬tration, and public school music.These courses will be of inestima¬ble value to everyone on campusand not alone to actual “musicstudents.’’ Musicians need col¬lege and college needs music; fartoo few people recognize howgreat the need is on both sides.The theory of music and the ap¬preciation of music are an essen¬tial part of a liberal education, justas a background of academic col¬lege work is an essential part ofthe musician’s education.The value of music as a mental<liscipline is forcefully demons¬trated by the following statementmade by the head of the MusicDepartment of Magdalen College,which teaches all the music atOxford University: “Ten per centof the students at Magdalen Col¬lege take music and ninety percent do not. The ten per centtaking music also take seventy-five per cent of all prizes andscholarships—that is in all de¬partments. 7'his rather amazingrecord has been the average forthe past thirty years.” This isin line with the testimony of Dr.Eliot, president emeritus of Har¬vard, who says: “Music, rightlytaught, is the best mind traineron the list.”It is urged that all students willfill out the questionnaire and turnit in as soon as possible, addingto it as many suggestions as mayoccur to them for adding to, orotherwise modifying the courseheretofore outlined.

A.P.M.S. & T.Field Artillery units of the ReserveOfficers’ Training Corps are estab¬lished at twenty of the largest univer¬sities and colleges in the United States,including Alabama Polytechnical In¬stitute, Colorado A. & M., Harvard,Iowa State, Leland Stanford, OhioState, Oregon A. & M., Princeton.Purdue, Texas A. & M., V. M. I., andthe Universities of Chicago, Illinois.Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Flor¬ida. Utah and Vale. At seven of theseinstitutions, including Chicago, the en¬rolment is entirely voluntary.Provide Trained OfficersThese units are a result of the pre¬vision of the National Defense act of1920,. providing a reservoir of tech¬nically trained officers in case of an¬other major emergency.At the time of our entry into thewar in 1917, there were approxima/ly370 field artillery officers with morethan one year’s service. W nen theArmistice was signed, nearly 25,000 oi-ficers had been commissioned in thefield artillery, an expansion of seventyfold. Of this personnel, the majoritywere college men.No Time for TrainingOur colleges furnish the trainedleaders, yet officers cannot be trained,as such, after the outbreak of war.There is another aspect to be consid¬ered in the air|s of' ''/le R.O.T.C. units,aside from producing reserve officers,which is the coordinate objective ofhelping to pfCduc^e better and moreuseful American citizens. The mili¬tary training is aligned with the pur¬poses of academic training with whichit becomes an integral part in times ofpeace. The units are simultaneouslyserv’ing two masters, the governmentand their respective universities. Thisdual function is best performed byadapting the military training to coin¬cide with the policies, environment andeducational system of the particularcollege. The military unit should be a "part of” rather than “apart from” itsuniversity, or it will fail to best servethe university and the government.Inspected YearlyEach year the war department in¬spects these units and rates their ef¬ficiency. The field artillery units arein annual competition with each other,and it is interesting to compare thestatistics of military enrolment andoutput from the various universities.Yale university has the oldest unit, thefirst established before the war, andfurnished over 1000 field artillery of¬ficers in the World war. The Chicagounit is one of the sroallest, from astandpoint of total enrolment andequipment, yet quantity is not themain factor. The local unit last yearreceived a high rating from'the wardepartment inspector, based on thequality of students, the high standards (of the university, the large per cent ofgraduates, and the great proportion ofstudents who continue the course tocompletion.Large Enrolment This YearThis fall the field artillery unit en¬rolled the largest number of the pres¬ent freshman cass within its ten yearhistory, and the prospects for nextyear in the growing registration isthat the number of members enrq/edwill ta.x the facilities of the Depart¬ment to capacity.It is doubted / the academic stan¬dards are as high at any of the other19 field artillery uqits as tljfy are atChicago, /'he selective policy and in¬sistence on quality of productive schol¬arship develops a superior type of re¬serve officer. The graduates alwaysprove themselves thoroughly trained intechnical knowledge and worthy as¬sets both to the government and theUniversity.Chicago is a leader among the uni¬versities. It should have one of thebest, if not the best of the militaryunits throughout the country. Weshould excel in this department for noother reason than it belongs to the University. The members of the fieldartillery unit are proud to belong tothe organization, which is one of whichthe University may take pride. Thereis much interest in the department onthe campus, and it receives the mostcordial cooperation and genuine sup¬port from the University.The military training at the Univer¬sity has succeeded, and it is bound 'oprosper with the continued growth inenrolment, output, and the harmoniousgoodwill within the quadrangles.Stiles Featured OnProgram of SeventhWeek of Civic OperaThe seventh week of opera in thenew home on Wacker Drive will mark the debut of a young American lyricsoprano who joined the Chicago CivicOpera this season—Hallie Stiles.
