' philo M. Buck, Dean of the College
0f Arts and Sciences, returned Thurs
day morning at 10:15 from a seven
months' stay in India, China and
japan. Dean Buck was on an ex
change professor-ship with Prof. S. L.
f Baroda. India. While in
India, Dean Buck lectured at every
Indian University except one, on wie
subject of "The Political and Social
ideas in American Literature.
Dean Buck returned by way of
Egypt and Sicily, spending some time
in Italy visiting Florence, Rome,
Genoa and Naples. He also traveled
through France stopping at Paris for
a short time. He also visited the
Universities of Oxford and Cambridge
in England. Coming into Montreal,
Dean Buck's ship was stuck for three
days in the ice which had floated down
the St. Lawrence river. The ice
which was four feet thick held up
a number of ships. The steamer carbine-
the Dean was the first to break
through the ice into the harbor of
Montreal.
"The political situation in India is
very interesting and I had the op
portunity to be intimately in touch
with it," Dean Buck declared. He
explained that as the guest of the
Indian government ind as the guest
of various Indian princes he had the
chance to get first-hand impressions
of the political question. The Dean
was also the guest of the Indian Radi
cal party which is attempting to
overthrow the English government.
He was the only European at a Con
gress of the Radical Party which
lasted three days and was attended by
10.000 Indians.
Dean Buck reported that the Indian
Universities are filled with students.
There are 10,000 attending the Uni
versity of Calcutta, and there are be
tween 8,000 and 9.000 attending the
University of Bombay. The Indian
Universities with two or three ex
cpntinns. according to Dean Buck, are
government institutions supported by
taxation. One difference in control,
Dean Buck pointed out, is that in
India the Universities are not con
trolled by boards elected by the people
as thev are in the United .States. The
Indian Universities are controlled by
boards appointed by the English or
Indian governments.
"Our Universities touch the life of
the state much more than do the
Indian Universities," Dean Buck
.stated. He further explained that
American Universities have agricul
tural colleges, and departments that
develop and conserve the nature of
the state. Such departments are prac
tically unknown in India. Most of
the Universities have Colleges of
Medicine- and Law, although there are
only two engineering colleges in the
whole country.
Dean Philo M. Buck who returned
Friday from a six months' stay in
India where he has been on an ex
change professorship with Professor
S. L. Joshi of Baroda.

Registration for the first semester

ing this June. Every student who is
not positive that he will not be at
tending the University next Septem
ber must register during the week of
May 14 to 19, according to Dean C.
C. Engberg. Those students who do
not register during the early spring
week, will be liable to the late reg
istration fee which is collected in the
fall when extra registration occurs.
Registration in the College of Agri
culture begins' Tuesday on the othe
campus. Sophomores in the college
should see the Dean before registra-
each student who registers in the
sprinir will be informed as to the
amount of his fees, which will be pay
able by September 8. A check may
be mailed to cover these fees. The
fees as listed in the catalog will be
chantred, but they cannot be an
nounced until the Board of Regents
has decided on the amounts. Students
who do not register at the proper
time, or who do not pay their fees by
the eighth of September will be re
quired to register and pay a late reg

ule of classes and his statement of
outside activities. The adviser will
approve of the schedule.
New students will register in the
fall beginning September 17, aha
classes will start for the first semester
of the coming year on September 20
Registration for the coming year
promises to be heavier than ever in
the past.
It is asked by the administration
of the University that students try
to arrange their classes to last thru
nut the time, and that at least one
third of the classes be scheduled in
the afternoon. This request is made
necessary by the congestion of morn
ing classes at the present time.
It is Sunday, morning, and the
church bells are ringing their call to
worship. In the little church on the
corner, the choir is marching in to
the strains of the organ while in tne
pews the families sit with the flowers
in the buttonholes of the men, ana
the small corsages on the dresses of
the women.
A bright spot of color here and a
white gloom there show the difference
in the people who have the dear moth
ers still with f hem, and those others
whose mothers live only in the mem
ories of that which has gone before.
Here is an older man, wearing the
snowv carnation and here is his son,
wearing another flower of the same
. . .i v
hue. There a mother sits witn ner
dauo-hter. and here a son sits alone,
the red flower on his coat shining
bravely forth in token of the mother

GREEK RATINGS
t SCHOLARSHIP
There is a mother surrounded by
all the members of her family. Surely
none of them are missing. There is
the husband and father of the brood,
and beside the parents sit the chil
dren, each wearing the red flower
which nays a silent tribute to the little
woman there beside them.
Two Hons in college, a daughter in
the high school, and three of the little
who are still in the grammar
all of them coming with the
older members of the family, to be
together on the day which is set asie
for the Mother who is the center oi
the home. 9
But do we think of the mothers in
X . --.1 -
the other towns in the state wnohe
daughters and sons are here? Do
we ston to wonder what our mothers
are doing today, while we are going
about our own affairs?
On Mother's Day, do we stop to
send to Mother that fleeting thought
which will mean so much to her, and
will give us even more of the joy of
the love of Mother ?

The course is expected to be oi

light of recent press discussion re
garding the ignorance of students on
the scriptural questions.
Mr. Muilenburg's book which it is
expected will be used as a text in the
course is described by the North
American Review as "an admirable
complication, well arranged with
copius. scholarly notes, intended as
an academic textbook, but equally
adapted to general reading," and by
Dr. Henry Van Dyke as "a welt ar-
and carefully edited volume,
likely to be useful in promoting the
deeper study of the JJiDie tnrougn
interest in its wonderful value as lit
