PLAN JOURNALISTIC COURSE
Woman Question and Other De-
tails Still To Be Settled.

The first meeting OF the administrative
hoard of the new School OF Journalism at
Columbia University was held yesterday.
The members of the board, with the ex-
ception OF Or. Nicholas Murray Butler
president OF Columbia, who was out OF the
city. held two-hour session In the trus-
tees room at the Columbia library In the
forenoon. They met again at the Faculty
Club for another two hours in the after
noon.
Talcott Williams, director OF the school,
presided at the meeting. The other mem
bers Of the board present were PROFESSOR
John W. Cuniffe, assistant director. for
merly professor of English at the Univer-
sty OF Wisconsin,; Frederick p. Keppei'
secretary Of Columbia Professor William
2. Trent, professor OF English literature
at Columbia; Professor James T. ShotwelI,
Of the faculty of history at Columbia; Hen
ry r. seager, professor of political economy
at Columbia; Professor Ashley H. Thorn
dixie. OF the English department at Colum-
bia. and Charles A. Beard, adjunct profess
sor OF politics at Columbia.
Most Of the time at the meeting was
spent in working upon the formal an
nouncement OF the plans and scope OF the
school The board was not ready TO make
this report public yesterday. Professor
Cunliffe said that the announcement would
probably be ready after the next meeting
of the trustees Of the university, on April
3 He said IT would probably not be neces-
sary to hold another meeting OF the ad-
visory board Of the school before making
this public announcement.
I'VE discussed faculty appointments, the
courses of study to be offered at the
School of Journalism, and the terms OF ad-
Professor Cunliffe. Some OF the courses
we considered are already given at Colum-
bia University. Others will be peculiar to
the field OF journalism itself The terms
Of admission will be very broad, so as TO
appeal 10 as many as possible. The board
decided not to make the formal announce
ment Of the school at this time, as all OF
our plans are not definitely settled yet"
Was any decision reached on the ques-
ton OF admitting women TO the schoolf'
Professor Cunliffe was asked.
II can't say anything about that now"
he replied.
There was said to be feeling among the
Columbia trustees against admitting women
10 the School OF Journalism. This attitude
was prompted, it was said, because some of
the trustees felt that II would be contrary
to the policy OF the university to encourage
the co-educational idea IN any department.

IRVING PLACE THEATRE
"Fruhling's Erwachen.

The first production in this country n
Frank Wedekind's tragedy, "Fruhling' 8
Erwachen." which occurred last night at
the Irving Place Theatre. was preceded by
an address by Dr. Maximillian Groszmann.
praising the courage Of Wedekind in writ
ing and OF Director Amberg in presenting
here a piece dealing with the evils which
NAV follow the failure OF parents TO tell the
truth 10 developing boys and girls about
the relations between the sexes. DR..
Groszmann's address was admirable both
IN form and matter, but so far az the play
was concerned IL had the unfortunate effect
OF showing how much more effectively such
q subject can be treated by the lecturer
than by the tramatist.
With all the good will in the world to
take wedekind's work seriously, II is likely
only to bore even the most sympathetic
audience IL is scattering and has little
dramatic movement, and the extravagant
symbolism Of its last scene does not har-
rnonize In the least with the realism OF the
rest Of the tragedy. To an American audi
ence the play cannot seem anything but
fantastic. Its success in Germany must
be accounted for by the fact that IT at
tacks indirectly certain morbid condi-
tions in the German gymnasium system
which are reflected in many OF the plays
dealing with German school life
It cannot be said that last nights per-
formance was adequate I'm spite OF the un-
usual difficulties Of the piece. Mr.. Pabst,
as the chief abnormal among the boy stu
dents, was almost inaudble for long
stretches, especially after he reappeared on
this earthly scene as a ghost. The full
