Ratari Devi will appear here March 6 in Swain hall at 8 :30 in a costume recital of folk songs of the east and west, including Kashmiri folk songs and East Indian Ragas. . The recital is . the second number on the student entertainment program for this quarter. 0 Madame Devi has appeared at many of the largest Univer sities in the country, such as Harvard, Columbia and Chi cago; she has given recitals at such places as the National Arts Club in New York City, and the Fine Arts Club in Chicago. Ev erywhere she has been she has received most favorable press comments. When she was in England, Bernard Shaw.and William But ler Yeats hailed her singing as a revelation. She has been called the "solitary occidental of our generation who can inter pret the musical genius of Hin dustan." The singer possesses a very pleasing contralto voice, with the rich, warm tone to ex press the almost weird Indian melodies. Her programs are distinctive not only for unusual and previously, unsung folk songs, but also because, of the charming manner in which she presents them, according to her critics. After Madame Devi finishes a series of English and Continen tal European folk songs, she puts on a Hindu costume: a scarf of the. hue of the flesh of a fresh ripe mango fruit, splashed with rose, a rose-embroidered kurt skirt, and trousers worn by ladies of the Punjab. It is in this costume that she sings the great Ragas "with a skill worthy of a Hindu court minstrel's and an intelligence often surpassing his. . . . Ratan Devi portrays Indian music with a genuine India-consciousness." Article In Scribner's By E. W. Knight Defends Summer Schools In Scribner's for March Pro fessor Edgar W. Knight has an article entitled "Go to the Ant, Thou Sluggard" in which he de fends the summer session of the American university and x re bukes those who look upon the summer school with scorn. He points to the summer school as the symbol of an enterprise that has 'spread far beyond its origi nal frontiers and now touches the educational life of the United States at a thousand in timate points, "for very few are the American schools, large or small, in which the appeal and influence of this educational agency have not penetrated." The article points to the con trast between many students who attend the regular semesters and most of those in xthe sum mer session. The latter go about their work, Knight observes, "with intelligence, despatch, and industry. For genuine earnest ness and- depth of purpose few other students are so impressive. Few anywhere else show such eagerness for excellence, and re spect for thoroughness in .their work or such capacity for sus tained effort'as those who kindle REGISTRAR WELL MIL REPORT TO L O C A L ADDRESS All Undergraduate Students Will Receive Grade Announce ments Before Their Final Registration. . The registrar's office is plan ning to deliver grade reports to the local mailing address" of all students in the undergraduate divisions of the University, as well as the school of pharmacy and the graduate school, before the final " registration date, March 22. With that purpose in mindj it is imperatively nec essary to have correct addresses for all students concerned. En velopes will be addressed from the registrations handed in at the beginning of the quarter. In quite a number of cases there are, no addresses at all for the students, and in many other cases the mailing address has been changed since registration. This service from the office will be facilitated and made de cidedly more effective if. each registrant will see to it that his proper mailing address is available. With the proper co operation, the .registrar's office is of the opinion that these re ports can be , delivered before March 22. They will, therefore, urge that every student let them have his correct address before Friday of this week if there has been any change since winter registration, ojrifno address was given. Metzenthin To Discuss "Goethe And America" An interesting topic will be discussed at the regular meet ing of the Philological Club in the Smith building, according to Dr. J. P.

They are not bothered with entrance examina tions and irritating admission requirements exacted by the reg ular term which bewilder multi tudes of its students and often shrivel the cheeks and whiten the hair of the registrar and age him before his time. The de mands are so few and simple that summer session students can do quickly and compara tively easily the necessary chores of registration and get promptly to work.

Carroll,, dean of the school of commerce and econom ics, will speak on "Education forj lousiness Leaaersnip." In his talk Dean Carroll will present his views, on what con stitutes a good education for one who wishes to become a leader in the field of business endeavor. He will d"iscuss education under the two heads of education for the purpose of training one to earn a living, efficiently and edu cation for the purpose of learn ing how to enjoy life to the full est extent. . V . These two phases of education have come to be recognized in recent years , as essentials, and now greater importance is be ing attached to the latter. In keeping with, this view, that education should train one to be able to enjoy life as well as to be able to earn a living efficient ly, the school of commerce and economics now requires a large amount of liberal work in its curriculum.

The resignation of Dr. Chase was announced three weeks ago simultaneously with the state ment that he had accepted an offer to become president of the University of , Illinois. If precedent is followed, the board will appoint a committee to consider the qualifications of possibilities and to report at a later meeting, probably at the annual June "meeting. Several men have been pro posed, with R. D. W. Connor, professor ..of government, and Frank Graham, professor of his tory, ' having strong support. However, last Friday Tyre C. Taylor, . private secretary to Governor Gardner, announced that Mr. Graham had stated in a letter to the Governor that he did not wish his name consid ered. At the same time a move ment proposing Dr. H. C. Baity, head of the civil engineering de partment here, was announced. Several members, of the board have suggested immediate action-and announced their sup port of Mr. Connor, who was considered seriously eleven years ago. at the time, Dr. Chase was elected. At that time Mr. Con nor was secretary of the state Historical ' "Association and a member of, the board of trustees. A ruling of the Attorney Gen eral that the trustees could not choose one, of their own number prevented consideration of his name. . v T - No action has been taken by the faculty in recommending a successor and none of the pos sibilities has made statements other than Mr. Graham in his letter to the Governor.
