DR. PHILIP G. CLAPP APPOINTED HEAD OF MUSIC DEPARTMENT
School of Music to Be Reorganized By Well Known Composer and Director
STUDIED MUSIC IN EUROPE
Received Ph. D. Degree from Harvard and Was Director of Music at Dartmouth College
The appointment of Dr. Philip Greeley Clapp as head of the music department was approved by the state board Thursday.  From now on the school of music will no longer exist, but musical instruction will be under the administration of the college of liberal arts, as the department of music.
Dr. Clapp was formerly director of music at Dartmouth college.  He is a graduate of Harvard, where he received his B. A., M. A. and Ph. D. degrees.  When the war began he enlisted and went to France as a band conductor.  He has just recently returned.
As a composer Dr. Class has a national reputation.  Some of his best known compositions are:  the tone poem, "Norge;" a symphony in E minor, produced under his direction by the Boston symphony orchestra; and the orchestral prelude, "In Summer."  He belongs to a musical family on both sides and has received the most thorough training in his art.  At Harvard he was given a traveling scholarship which enabled him to study for two years in Europe.
The piano is Dr. Clapp's principal field in applied music.  He will instruct advanced pupils at the University in this branch of music.  To create a musical atmosphere here is his plan, and a special course in appreciation of music will be introduced which will be open to all students.
Organizing a variety of musical groups, instrumental and vocal, is another part of Dr. Clapp's program.  These organizations, as planned, will serve as training for those who participate and furnish musical entertainment for the University.  It is the plan to bring specialists in the various branches of musical instruction into a faculty, and eventually build up a department of music giving better musical instruction than private conservatories or teachers in large cities.

MEN LEAVE SOON FOR GENEVA CONFERENCE
The men who are going from here to the Lake Geneva student conference are Arthur Rosenbaugh, Fred G. Evans, Chiang Liu, Howard Ellis, Frak and Craven Shuttleworth, C. K. Huston, Rodney F. Cobb, Earl M. Dodgson and Horace W. Tousley.
The conference will be held from June 13 to 22.  The men who will attend from here will leave for Lake Geneva, Wis., either Friday or Saturday night.

TENNIS MATCHES CANCELLED
Baseball was not the only sport to suffer from the long series of rainy days this spring.  The tennis team had a match scheduled with Ames for yesterday morning, but was obliged to cancel the contest because of the wet courts.  A match with Chicago was under consideration, but this too was dropped on account of the lack of time.

SCHOOL OUT FRIDAY
The present term of school closes officially at 6 o'clock Friday evening, June 13.  There will be no classes after this date until the opening of the summer session Monday, June 16.
This notice published in yesterday's Iowan is repeated because of the fact that some instructors are acting under orders to the contrary and announcing classes for Saturday morning.  The announcement that the term closes Friday evening is official coming from the office of the president late yesterday.

NEW DORMITORIES READY IN AUTUMN
Men's Dormitories on West Side Will Be Open for Occupancy in September
Plans for the men's dormitories on the west side were completed at the meeting of the finance committee yesterday afternoon.  The dormitories will be finished and equipped by Sept. 29, the opening of the fall term.
Three hundred men will be accommodated in the large building constructed for barracks.  Single rooms, 8 1-2 by 17 feet, and double rooms, 12 1-2 by 17 feet, will contain closet room, and hot and cold water.  The domitories will be heated by steam and be equipped with electric lights.  Proper toilet facilities, baths, and guest rooms have been provided for.
The men may eat in a dining room spacious enough for the entire 300.  Meals will be served in cafeteria style.  Everything about the building will be as modern as possible, the committee states.
The inner court will be graded and laid off into tennis courts.  The grounds outside are also to be graded and a concrete approach constructed.  Entrance will be made from the north end of the building and walks and drives will be put in.
Reservations for rooms are already being made at the office of Secretary W. H. Bates.

PRIZES GRANTED FOR BEST STORIES

ULLMAN MADE HEAD OF LATIN DEPARTMENT
Dr. B. L. Ullman Comes Highly Recommended From University of Chicago
Dr. B. L. Ullman, Ph. D., head of the latin department of the University of Pittsburg and one of the leading latin scholars in the United States, wil lbe the successor of Prof. F. C. Eastman, recent head of the latin department of this University who was killed in an automobile accident last year.
Coming with the best of credentials from numerous educational men of the country, Professor Ullman will no doubt be a strong asset to the faculty and raise the standard of the latin department.
Dr. William G. Hale, for twenty-five years the head of the latin department of the University of Chicago, from which school Dr. Ullman received his Ph. D., recommends him as the strongest man that has ever graduated from his department.
Being a writer and traveler, as well as an instructor, he has contributed many valuable articles to classical journals.  He has spent several years of study at Rome; is associate editor of the Classical Weekly, has helped organize the new Classical League, which will hold its initial meeting this summer, and has a nation-wide reputation as a classical scholar.
Professor Ullman is thirty-six years of age, and is a married man with two children.

MICHIGAN IS WINNER OF BIG TEN MEET; IOWA GETS 3 POINTS
Dyke in Javelin Throw is Only Iowa Man To Place in Conference Events
CHICAGO IN SECOND PLACE
Johnson of Michigan Takes High Jump at 6:2 1-4─Dyke Throws Javelin 159 Feet
Iowa scored three points in the conference track meet at Chicago yesterday afternoon.  Dyke taking second place in the javelin throw with a toss of 159 feet 10 inches.  No other Iowa men scored, according to a report of the meet given to The Daily Iowan last evening over the telephone from The Chicago Tribune.
Michigan, as was expected, won the meet, scoring 44 1-2 points.  Chicago was second with 34, Illinois made 22, Notre Dame 21, Kansas Aggies 12, Ames 8, Nebraska 7, Minnesota 7, Wabash 3, and Iowa 3.  There were others scattering.
It is regarded as particularly surprising that Iowa failed to place either in the high jump or in the shot put.  Johnson of Michigan won the high jump with a leap of 6 feet 2 1-4 inches.  Page of Ames was second, and Brigham, the Hawkeye jumper, defeated Page at the state meet in Des Moines last week.  Three men who tied for third place went only 5 feet 8 inches, and Brigham has jumped higher than this in every meet in which he has participated this year.  Wallen and Slater in the shot put were also capable of scoring with tosses of over forty feet, but explanation of their failure to win is also lacking.
Dyke's throw in the javelin was bested by only three feet.  Wilson of Illinois, who won the event, threw 163 feet for first place.
Michigan 4    Illinois 0
From The Tribune it was also learned that Michigan defeated Illinois 4 to 0 yesterday afternoon, thereby winning the conference title in baseball.  Michigan leads the conference with a clean slate, having won every Big Ten game.  Illinois is second by virtue of a victory over Purdue earlier in the week, their standing being seven games won and four lost.  The Illini have a mark of 636 and Iowa in third place has 625.

TROWBRIDGE TO HEAD SIGMA XI NEXT YEAR
Sigmt Xi officers for next year who were elected at a recent meeting are:  President, Prof. A. C. Trowbridge; vice-president, A. H. Ford; secretary, F. A. Stromsten; treasurer, H. L. Reitz.
Representatives from each department of science chosen were:  A. C. Trowbridge, ex-officio; F. A. Stromsten, zoology; C. E. Seashore, psychology; G. W. Stewart, physics; J. F. Reilly, mathematics; W. G. Raymond, applied scienc; R. B. Wylie, botany; J. M. Pearce, chemistry; J. T. McClintock, medicine, to compose the membership committee for this next year.

Heps and Zets who recently played in the comedy, "A Scrap of Paper" will banquet next Tuesday evening at the Hotel Jefferson.  Prof. and Mrs. E. H. Lauer will be the honor guests.  Profesor Lauer coached the Hep-Zet play and its success was due in great part to his efforts.
