This  is  a  digital  copy  of  a  book  that  was  preserved  for  generations  on  library  shelves  before  it  was  carefully  scanned  by  Google  as  part  of  a  project 
to  make  the  world's  books  discoverable  online. 

It  has  survived  long  enough  for  the  copyright  to  expire  and  the  book  to  enter  the  public  domain.  A  public  domain  book  is  one  that  was  never  subject 
to  copyright  or  whose  legal  copyright  term  has  expired.  Whether  a  book  is  in  the  public  domain  may  vary  country  to  country.  Public  domain  books 
are  our  gateways  to  the  past,  representing  a  wealth  of  history,  culture  and  knowledge  that's  often  difficult  to  discover. 

Marks,  notations  and  other  marginalia  present  in  the  original  volume  will  appear  in  this  file  -  a  reminder  of  this  book's  long  journey  from  the 
publisher  to  a  library  and  finally  to  you. 

Usage  guidelines 

Google  is  proud  to  partner  with  libraries  to  digitize  public  domain  materials  and  make  them  widely  accessible.  Public  domain  books  belong  to  the 
public  and  we  are  merely  their  custodians.  Nevertheless,  this  work  is  expensive,  so  in  order  to  keep  providing  this  resource,  we  have  taken  steps  to 
prevent  abuse  by  commercial  parties,  including  placing  technical  restrictions  on  automated  querying. 

We  also  ask  that  you: 

+  Make  non-commercial  use  of  the  files  We  designed  Google  Book  Search  for  use  by  individuals,  and  we  request  that  you  use  these  files  for 
personal,  non-commercial  purposes. 

+  Refrain  from  automated  querying  Do  not  send  automated  queries  of  any  sort  to  Google's  system:  If  you  are  conducting  research  on  machine 
translation,  optical  character  recognition  or  other  areas  where  access  to  a  large  amount  of  text  is  helpful,  please  contact  us.  We  encourage  the 
use  of  public  domain  materials  for  these  purposes  and  may  be  able  to  help. 

+  Maintain  attribution  The  Google  "watermark"  you  see  on  each  file  is  essential  for  informing  people  about  this  project  and  helping  them  find 
additional  materials  through  Google  Book  Search.  Please  do  not  remove  it. 

+  Keep  it  legal  Whatever  your  use,  remember  that  you  are  responsible  for  ensuring  that  what  you  are  doing  is  legal.  Do  not  assume  that  just 
because  we  believe  a  book  is  in  the  public  domain  for  users  in  the  United  States,  that  the  work  is  also  in  the  public  domain  for  users  in  other 
countries.  Whether  a  book  is  still  in  copyright  varies  from  country  to  country,  and  we  can't  offer  guidance  on  whether  any  specific  use  of 
any  specific  book  is  allowed.  Please  do  not  assume  that  a  book's  appearance  in  Google  Book  Search  means  it  can  be  used  in  any  manner 
anywhere  in  the  world.  Copyright  infringement  liability  can  be  quite  severe. 

About  Google  Book  Search 

Google's  mission  is  to  organize  the  world's  information  and  to  make  it  universally  accessible  and  useful.  Google  Book  Search  helps  readers 
discover  the  world's  books  while  helping  authors  and  publishers  reach  new  audiences.  You  can  search  through  the  full  text  of  this  book  on  the  web

PUBUCATIONS 


RIDPATH  takes  you  back  to  the  dawn  of  history,  long  before  the  Pyramids  of  Eoypt  were  built;  dowii 
through  the  romantic,  troubled  times  of  Chaldea's  grandeur  and  Assjrria's  magnificence ;   of  Babylonia's 
wealth  and  luxury;  of  Greek  and  Roman  splendor;  of  Mohammedan  culture  and  refinement;  of  French  ele- 
gance and  British  power;  to  the  rise  of  the  Western  workL  including  the  complete  history  of  the  United  States  and 
all  other  nations  down  to  the  dose  of  the  Ruma-Japan  war. 

|IDPATH*S  enviable  position  as  an  historian  is  due  to  his  wonderfully  beautiful  style,  a  style  no  other  his-  ^ 
k    t^rian  has  ever  equaled.    He  pictures  the  mat  historical  events  as  though  thev  were  happening  before^ 
your  eyes;  he  carries  you  with  tiirn  to  see  rae  battles  of  old ;  to  meet  kings  ana  queens  and  warrion ;  ^ 
to  sit  in  the  Roman  Senate ;  to  march  against  Saladin  and  his  dark-skinned  foUowen ;  to  sail  the  southern 
seas  with  Drake;  to  circumnavigate  the  globe  with  Magellan;  to  watch  that  thin  line  of  Greek  spear- 
men work  havoc  with  the  Persian  hordes  on  the  field  of  Marathon ;  to  know  Napoleon  as  you  know 
Roosevelt^  He  combines  absorbing  interest  with  supreme  reliability,  and  makes  the  heroes  of  his- 
tory real  living  men  and  women,  and  about  them  he  weaver  the  rite  and  fall  of  empires  in  such    ^ 
a  fascinating  style  that  history  becomes  as  absorbingly  interesting  as  the  greatest  of  faction.

nearly  Three  Thousand  Graduates.    Twenty  States  and  a 

HALF  dozen  foreign  COUNTRIES  ARE  REPRESENTED  IN  ITS  ENROLL-

In  September,  1907,  this  well  established  school  began  work 
in  a  new  building  costing  a  quarter  of  a  million  dollars. 

Its  laboratory  facilities  for  all  kinds  of  science  work  are  un- 
surpassed by  any  public  school  in  America.  Its  equipment  for  Com- 
mercial Work  is  equal  to  the  best,  and  its  provision  for  Physical 
Culture  is  superior  to  that  of  most  other  public  schools  in  the  country. 

The  old  time  thoroughness  in  the  Classics  and  other  Culture 
Studies  is  maintained. 

Rates  of  Tuition  are  lower  than  those  of  any  private  school  of 
equal  rank  in  America.

CLASSMEN,  WHO    EXPECT    TO    TEACH 

Here  Are  Some  Facfts  Which  Should 

Interest  You 

Those  who  are  able  to  teach  their  specialty,  whether  language,  science, 
mathematics,  history,  English,  bookkeeping,  or  any  other  of  the  ordin- 
ary High  School  branches,  and  can  also  give  instruction  in  Shorthand 
and  Typewriting,  are  easily  able  to  command 

From  25  to  30  Per  Cent  Lar(;er  Salaries 

than  they  could  without  preparation  to  teach  these  subjects.  The  teach- 
ers we  placed  in  High  Schools  for  the  present  year  averaged  as  follows: 

MEN  ...  $97.50  per  Month 

WOMEN  ...  $82.00  per  Month 

In  almost  ever^  case  these  salaries  are  to  be  increased  next  year. 
Without  an  exception,  every  University  and  Normal  student  who  took 
our  coarse  secured  a  good  position. 

Do  These  Facts  Interest  You  ? 

If  so,  call  at  the  School  of  Shorthand,  711  North  University  Avenue,  and 
let  us  tell  yon  more  about  this  work.  This  school  is  the  only  one  in  the

Shorthand  for  High  School  Work.  This  course  is  given  by  the  princi- 
pal, Selby  A.  MoRAN,  a  teacher  of  many  years  of  successful  experience 
as  head  of  the  department  of  Shorthand  and  Typewriting  in  the  Ann 
Arbor  High  School  and  who  is,  therefore,  thoroughly  familiar  with  the 
requirements  of  such  work  in  the  better  class  of  high  schools.

titled to  all  the  benefits  of  membership  in  the  Ann  Arbor  Teachers*

EVENT  AND  COMMENT 


After  a  series  of  de- 
THB  INCREASED  lays,  which  carried 
APPROPRIATION  the  bill  for  an  in- 
creased appropriation 
for  the  University  well  into  June  be- 
fore the  Governor's  signature  made  it 
a  law,  the  University  was  finally  given 
an  increase  of  one-eighth  of  a  mill 
in  its  annual  tax.  This  means  a  total 
increase  in  its  annual  income  of  $216,- 
762.50.  While  the  fact  that  this  in- 
crease has  been  granted  to  the  Uni- 
versity may  not  be  news  to  most 
readers  of  The  Ai^umnus^  it  never- 
theless deserves  especial  comment. 
Heretofore,  the  University  has  been 
supported  by  the  income  from  a  one- 
quarter  mill  tax,  together  with  its  in- 
come from  student  fees  of  all  sorts, 
amounting  roughly,  to  $739,000,  of 
which  the  income  from  fees  amount- 
ed to  $278,000.  In  view  of  the  in- 
creased expenses  which  the  Universi- 
ty is  undergoing  from  year  to  year, 
the  President  and  the  Regents  felt 
justified  in  asking  for  an  increase  to 
a  one-half  mill  tax.  This  the  Legis- 
lature was  unwilling  to  grant  and 
compromised  on  making  the  total  ap- 
propriation the  income  from  a  three- 
eighths  of  a  mill  tax,  which  will  make 
the  total  income  of  the  University  for 
the  coming  year  approximately  $960,- 
000.  This  may  seem  excessive  to 
those  unacquainted  with  the  Univer- 
sity and  its  work,  but  we  are  very 
confident  that  even  upon  a  superficial 


investigatk)n,  it  will  be  found  that  our 
necessities  ^  still  far  outstrip  our  in- 
come. Since  1898,  when  the  quarter 
mill  tax  was  granted,  the  expenses  of 
the  University  have  been  increasing 
tremendously.  Two  explanatory  fac- 
tors may  be  considered.  One  is  the 
constantly  increasing  cost  of  living, 
in  general  necessitating  higher  sal- 
aries. If  we  cannot  pay  salaries 
comparable  with  those  in  other  uni- 
versities, we  lose  inevitably  our  best 
men,  and  the  University  as  a  whole 
must  suffer  incalculably.  In  the  sec- 
ond place,  the  number  of  students 
since  1899  has  increased  nearly  forty 
per  cent,  while  our  available  build- 
ings for  instruction  remain  practically 
the  same.  This  means  that  an  era 
of  construction  is  imminent,  as  our 
buildings  are  all  acknowledged  inade- 
quate, and  the  necessary  funds  must 
be  forthcoming.  Together  with  these 
facts  let  it  be  remembered,  as  it  has 
been  pointed  out  in  tjiese  columns 
before,  that  the  cost  per  student  at 
Michigan  is  only  $3.82,  while  Harvard 
spends  $10.37,  Chicago,  $8.69,  Illinois, 
$7.59,  and  Wisconsin,  $6.86.  With 
all  these  facts  in  view  we  can  only 
hope  that  the  other  one-eighth  of  a 
mill  will  be  granted  in  the  near  fu- 
ture. With  that  we  may  well  be  con- 
tent if  only  for  a  time.  If  the  present 
g^wth  of  the  University  continues, 
we  should  hardly  dare  designate  the 
period  for  which  that  amount  even 
would  be  sufficient

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[October 


After    several    years 
THE  MEMORIAL  ^f  j^^j  ^^^k  by  the 

A  CERTAINTY  Memorial  Committee 
of  the  Alumni  Asso- 
ciation, and  in  spite  of  many  diffi- 
culties, the  result  of  that  service  bids 
fair  to  take  shape  in  brick  and  mortar 
on  the  University  Campus.  It  was 
thought  by  many  that  this  was  an 
undertaking,  which  could  never  be  suc- 
cessfully accomplished  and  with  a  less 
aggressive  committee  it  might  have 
failed.  The  amount  of  hard,  self-sac- 
rificing labor  given  by  this  committee 
to  this  work  can  only  be  appreciated 
by  those  who  have  been  intimately 
associated  with  the  Memorial  Building 
project.  C  Some  question  as  to  the 
particular  location  of  the  building  was 
raised  recently,  but  that  was  set  at 
rest  by  the  determination  of  the  Board 
of  Regents  at  their  October  meeting 
to  adhere  to  the  earlier  conclusion  to 
locate  it  in  the  vacant  space  on  the 
southwest  comer  of  the  Campus. 
For  the  erection  of  this  building, 
plans  and  elevations  of  which  have 
been  previously  published  in  these 
pages,  there  has  been  subscribed  one 
hundred  and  twenty-five  thousand 
dollars  by  the  alumni  and  friends  of 
the  University,  and  in  addition  to  this, 
the  Board  of  Regents  have  appro- 
priated fifty  thousand  dollars  to  be 
used  in  finishing  the  interior.  The 
Memorial  Committee,  in  the  carrying 
out  of  its  determination  to  make  this 
building  one  of  which  the  University 
and  its  friends  may  well  be  proud, 
announce  their  intention  to  bring  the 
subscriptions  up  to  one  hundred  and 
fifty  thousand  dollars.  It  is  to  be 
hoped  that  the  ambition  of  the  com- 
mittee in  this  respect  will  meet  with 
a  generous  response  from  the  alumni 
and  friends  of  the  University  of 
Michigan.  The  contract  for  the 
erection  -of  the  building  has  been 
let  to  Koch  Bros,  of  Ann  Arbor 
for  one  hundred  and  seven  thousand, 
one  hundred  and  three  dollars,  and  it 
is  hoped  that  the  cornerstone  may  be 


laid  in  November  of  this  year. 
C  Subscribers  to  the  fund  for  the 
erection  of  this  building  who  have  not 
already  paid  in  their  subscriptions  are 
requested  to  piy  them  in,  that  the 
obligations  incurred  for  the  construc- 
tion may  be  promptly  met.  This  is 
the  beginning  of  the  end  of  what  has 
been  really  a  new  kind  of  endeavor 
in  the  interest  of  the  University. 
Nothing  of  the  sort  had  ever  before 
been  attempted  in  any  serious  way, 
for  the  University,  and  it  furnishes 
a  very  practical  demonstration  of  the 
fact  that  the  loyalty  of  the  friends  of 
the  University  is  of  a  very  substantial 
sort— of  the  sort  which  is  not  spent 
in  shouting  alone.  It  is  to  be  hoped 
that  this  eflfort  is  only  the  forerunner 
of  many  more  to  come  along  similar 
lines.

Alumni  Day  for

ing Commencement, 
broke  all  previous 
This  in  spite  of  the  fact 
that  the  Association  was  unable  to 
promise  special  railroad  rates  outside 
of  the  state.  Although  it  is  difficult 
to  gauge  the  exact  attendance,  yet  the 
number  of  names  on  the  Alumni  Reg- 
ister, forty  more  than  the  year  pre- 
vious, is  one  rather  sure  indication. 
The  success  of  last  year's  reunions  in- 
dicate what  well  may  come  in  the  fu- 
ture, and  has  turned  the  thoughts  of 
the  Secretary  of  the  Alumni  Associa- 
tion toward  those  to  come  next  year. 
We  have  never  undertaken  to  agitate 
this  matter  so  early  before,  but  we 
find  from  previous  experience  that 
Time's  fore-lock  is  never  too  long. 
C  We  can  say  in.  a  general  way  that 
all  classes  ending  in  three  and  eight

delayed  its  meeting  one  year  in  order 
to  unite  with  its  very  dear  friend,  '93, 
and  possibly  '94,  for  one  glorious  re- 
union. As  for  the  professional 
schools,  law  and  medicine,  the  same 
rule  holds.  The  general  Association 
would  like  to  see  every  member  of 
every  class  forget  his  business  for  the 
once,  and  help  to  make  the  '08  reun- 
ion the  greatest  occasion  in  the  history 
of  the  University.  C  Therefore,  to 
every  member  of  every  class  in  all 
departments  is  this  word  addressed 
especially.  If  you  have  a  desire  to  be 
present  and  have  no  class  secretary, 
let  the  General  Secretary  at  Ann  Ar- 
bor know  about  it,  and  he  will  do  what 
he  can  to  organize  the  reunion.  If 
you  have  a  class  secretary,  a  very 
necessary  officer,  by  the  way,  which 
some  classes  overlooked  to  their  own 
certain  regret,  stir  him  up.  If  you 
are  a  member  of  one  of  the  unfortu- 
nate classes  with  no  such  officer,  un- 
dertake the  work  yourself,  os  ask  the 
General  Secretary  to  appoint  a  class 
secretary.  In  any  case  the  Associa- 
tion will  be  glad  to  furnish  a  list  of 
addresses  to  every  class  secretary,  as 
far  as  they  are  complete.  If  you  are 
not  a  member  of  any  class  in  the  list 
and  would  like  to  come  just  the  same, 
there  will  be  a  place  and  a  welcome 
for  you.  Secretary  Elmore  Palmer  of 
the  class  of  '64m,  which  held  an  extra 
reunion  last  year,  informs  us  that  it 
is  his  "personal  intention  to  attend 
every  Commencement  hereafter,  if  the 
walking  isn't  too  awful."  Your  Alma 
Mater  extends  a  cordial  invitation  to 
you  and  it  is  your  privilege  and  duty 
to  accept  now  before  other  plans  are 
made. 


The  other  day  some 
AFTER  MANY  of  US  grew  z  little 
YEARS  pessimistic.   It  was  a 

question  of  the  gen- 
eral level  of  culture  of  the  University 
man.  So  many  of  them,  judged  su- 
perficially, seem  so  unfit,  even  after 
graduation,  for  the  amenities  of  life, 
tfiat  we  wondered:  Did  it  pay?  We 
are  apt  to  think  that  the  University 
fails  totally  in  its  duty  to  some  men 
but  the  following  experience  of  an  old 
graduate  with  thirty-five  years'  per- 
spective is  encouraging.  As  before 
mentioned,  we,  lacking  a  proper  view 
were  pessimistic,  but  our  older  grad- 
uate was  of  a  diflferent  mind.  Said 
he :  "You  may  thing  that  some  grad- 
uates have  received  nothing  but  the 
bare  husks  of  education,  with  no  ink- 
ling of  the  flavor  of  the  ripe. fruit, 
but  wait  and  see  him,  as  I  have,  in 
his  riper  years.  The  culture,  the  ef- 
fectiveness, which  we  deemed  so  woe- 
fully lacking,  blossoms  sometimes  late, 
but  his  college  training,  inevitably, 
almost,  becomes  evident  in  time,  if 
he  is  a  man  of  ability,  and  a  degree 
from  the  University  almost  presup- 
poses that."  C  Such  a  word  is  encour- 
aging. If  we  are  giving  our  students, 
man  for  man,  more  than  we  gave  them 
forty  years  ago,  and  we  do  not  doubt 
that  we  are,  we  need  never  fear  for 
those  who  are  entering  a  larger 
school  year  by  year  for  a  greater  de- 
gree. We  are  handicapped,  it  is  true. 
There  are  so  many  students  and  rela- 
tively the  Faculty  is  so  small,  to  im- 
press itself  with  any  effectiveness  up- 
6n  the  individual  student  outside  of 
classes.  But  that  is  precisely  what  the 
student  at  Michigan,  at  any  rate, 
needs.  Considered  aside  from  its  offi- 
cial function  as  purveyor  of  instruc- 
tion, the  Faculty  must  furnish  to  dif- 
ferent men  many  things  which  ordi- 
narily one  would  hardly  suppose  came 
within  its  province.  Every  man  that 
enters  has  his  own  individual  faults 
and  deficiencies  which  the  Faculty 
must   deal   with,  by   suggestion   per-

haps,  or  example,  rather  than  by  di- 
rect precept.  It  is,  we  must  acknowl- 
edge»  asking  a  great  deal  of  an  al- 
ready overworked  but  faithful  body, 
but  is  this  not  after  all,  just  as  much 
as  teaching,  a  part  of  its  duty  as  a 
University  Faculty. 

Never  in  the  history 
YOUR  DUTY  of  our  University 
AS  AN  ALUMNI  have  Michigan  alum- 
ni had  the  opportuni- 
ties which  are  offered  now.  In  a  way 
the  University  is  awakening,  or  rath- 
er it  is  expanding  with  the  growth 
of  the  world  at  large.  New  currents 
are  appearing,  to  show  that  Michigan 
has  never  lost  her  dynamic  force  and 
is  still  progressing.  It  is  quite  pos- 
sible, nay  probable,  as  Dr.  Wenley 
points  out  on  another  page,  that  we 
have  greater  problems  before  us  than 
we  have  solved  in  the  past,  but  since 
we  are  Americans,  we  may  be  part 
doned  if  our  view  of  our  future  be  a 
little  more  roseate.  With  Mr.  Birds- 
eye,  Dr.  Wenley  insists  upon  the  duty 
of  the  alumni  toward  the  University. 
We  concur  heartily.  For  one  The 
Alumnus  has  always  felt  that  the  in- 
fluence of  Michigan's  alumni  has  been 
too  small  in  University  affairs.  They 
have  neither  been  given  a  definite 
place  in  determining  her  policies  and 
settling  the  many  vexed  questions 
which  are  inevitable,  nor  have  they 
been  educated  to  the  point  where  they 
seek  it.  C  We  know  well  that  it  is 
useless  to  preach  abstract  loyalty. 
Loyalty  to  become  effective  requires 
works,  and  for  that  reason  we  wel- 
come an  increasing  interest  in  the  Un- 
iversity, perceived  by  discerning  ob- 
servers, which  regards  the  University 
as  something  more  than  a  football 
center.  Idealism  among  the  students 
is  by  no  means  dead,  and  there  are 
many  disinterested  efforts  in  various 
directions  which  may  be  cited  to  prove 
it.  The  new  Memorial  Building,  the 
gift  of  the  alumni ;  the  Michigan  Un- 
ion, made  possible  through  the  efforts 


of  the  students  themselves,  and  the 
younger  alumni ;  the  establishment  of 
new  departments  and  new  work  in  the 
University,  are  all  straws  which  mark 
the  wind.  And  the  new  alumni  as 
they  pass  through  the  great  doors 
each  year  in  greater  numbers  will  be 
more  ready,  more  effective  than  the 
old  have  been,  because,  in  the  first 
place,  there  are  more  of  them,  and  in 
the  second  place,  they  are  finding 
more  in  college  life  than  did  their 
fore-bears.  They  have  an  esprit  de 
corps,  undreamed  in  the  old  days, 
which  promises  well  for  our  future. 

But,  to  preach  a  lit- 
HELP  THE  tie  more,  the  alumni 
UNIVERSITY  can  avail  in  other 
fields  besides  furnish- 
ing ideals.  We  are  far  from  despis- 
ing material  aid  and  we  make  bold 
to  say  to  every  alumnus  with- 
in reach  that  he  has  not  given  enough 
to  his  Alma  Mater.  One  is  inclined 
to  doubt  whether  he  can  give  enough. 
But  we  are  very  sure  that  Michigan 
alumni  have  not  been  "trained,"  as 
some  one  has  expressed  it,  into  giv- 
ing themselves  unto  the  University, 
as  the  alumni  of  some  of  our  Eastern 
universities  do.  We  are  far  from 
wishing  to  assume  a  thankless  atti- 
tude, in  the  face  of  such  a  gift  as  the 
new  Memorial  Building,  but  that 
should  only  be  a  beginning  of  bene- 
factions to  come.  We  ask  something 
more  than  money.  Every  one  may 
give  us  something  equally  precious, 
by  giving  himself  and  his  time  to  his 
Alma  Mater.  For  some  fortunate 
mortals,  nothing  is  easier  and  more 
perfunctory  than  signing  a  check,  but 
the  personality  which  lies  behind  a 
gift  of  one's  effort,  is  always  equally 
acceptable.  C  The  following  story, 
gleaned  from  a  very  suggestive  and 
optimistic  address,  delivered  by  Ex- 
President  Draper  of  the  University  of 
Illinois,  and  now  Commissioner  of 
Education  for  New  York  State,  be- 
fore the  Commencement  class  at  Syra-

EVENT  AND  COMMENT 


cuse,  should  be  taken  to  heart  by 
Michigan  alumni:  "Half  a  dozen 
years  ago  the  richest  man  in  the  coun- 
try became  suddenly  ill.  In  the  ab- 
sence of  his  regular  physician  he  call- 
ed in  a  young  graduate  of  the  Har- 
vard School  of  Medicine  and  impul- 
sively assured  him  that  if  he  would 
get  him  out  of  that  scrape  he  would 
pay  any  charge  that  he  might  make. 
The  case  was  not  serious  to  an  edu- 
cated man.  The  young  man  under- 
stood the  difficulty  and  soon  he 
wrought  the  needed  cure.  No  bill  was 
sent  and  in  time  it  was  asked  for.  The 
young  physician  reminded  the  multi- 
millionaire of  the  promise.  "Oh,  yes," 
he  said,  "but  I  assumed,  of  course, 
that  your  charge  would  be  within  rea- 
son." The  doctor's  time  had  come. 
He  said:  "I  shall  make  no  charge, 
but  I  shall  ask  you  to  do  something 
for  me.  The  Harvard  School  of  Med- 
icine needs  help.  I  would  help  her  if 
I  could.  Under  all  the  circumstances 
I  feel  warranted  in  asking  you  to  look 
into  the  matter  with  a  disposition  to 
aid  her  justly,  as  you  easily  may." 
The  old  man  said,  "Would  you  like 
to  bear  a  message  to  President  Eliot  ?" 
"Yes."  "Ask  him  to  come  and  tell 
me  all  about  it."  In  a  week  the  man 
of  wealth  had  given  his  pledge  to  the 
president  of  Harvard  for  a  million 
when  the  balance  should  be  raised, 
and  in  a  month  the  five  millions  had 
been  assured  which  have  erected  and 
equipped  the  finest  plant  for  a  medi- 
cal college  that  is  to  be  found  in  the 
wide,  wide  world." 

We  dislike  to  assume 
THE  PASSING    the  attitude  of  moum- 
OF  INLANDER   er,  but  it  is  with  more 
than  a  passing  regret 
that  we  chronicle  the  demise  of  In- 
lander.     It    may     be    only    a    tem- 
porary eclipse  it  is  true,  but  while  we 
are  in  the  shadow,  we  may  perhaps 
forget  the   source  of  undergraduate 
literary  light,  and  as  for  the  under- 
graduates, it  looks    as    though    they 


never  knew  that  there  was  light. 
Acute  lack  of  support  which  degen- 
erated into  financial  inanition,  is  the 
correct  diagnosis.  Truth  to  tell,  In- 
lander has  been  moribund  so  long 
that  we  had  believed  it  almost 
perennial,  although  one  never  knew 
from  year  to  year  what  new 
form  it  would  assume.  It  has 
been  balancing  on  a  very  ragged 
edge  for  the  last  few  years,  and  its 
diminished  subscription  list  and  ad- 
vertising, with  the  corresponding  aug- 
mented indebtedness,  gave  it  the  final 
impetus.  C  The  Board  of  Control 
has  assigned  to  the  more  popular 
Daily  the  task  of  caring  for  its  obli- 
gations which  should  be  wiped  out 
within  two  or  three  years.  We  may 
then  expect  its  re-appearance.  In- 
lander was  far  from  deserving  such 
a  fate,  and  its  passing  is  a  rather  sad 
commentary  on  one  branch,  at  least, 
of  college  journalism.  Its  files  for 
many  years  past  show  a  surprising 
store  of  excellent  and  clever  work, 
and  many  names  which  have  since 
become  well  known,  show  among  its 
contributors.  It  is  a  pity  to  let  a 
paper  of  Inlander's  traditions  pass  in 
such  a  manner. 


Now    that    Inlander 

CONDITION  we  can  philosophize 
a  'bit  over  fts  poor 
bones.  Never  losing  faith  in  under- 
graduate journalism  nor  its  mission, 
we  still  feel  that  here  is  a  real  lesson 
to  take  to  heart.  Popularity  with  a 
student  constituency,  and  the  main- 
tenance of  high  literary  ideals  are  the 
Scylla  and  Charybdis  between  which 
a  successful  college  journal  must  care- 
fully steer,  unless  a  grant  from  the 
University  enable  it  to  pass  safely. 
That,  apparently,  we  can  never  hope 
for  here.  Inlander  tried  to  do  too 
much  in  endeavoring  to  cover  so  many 
of  the  possible  fields  of  college  jour- 
nalism. It  was  neither  a  wedcly  nor 
a  monthly;  its  heart  was  true  neither

to  literature,  humor,  or  art  exclusive- 
ly, though  it  offered  elements  of  all. 
It  probably  pleased  no  one  thoroughly, 
and  it  has  paid  the  penalty  of  its  fick- 
leness. It  was,  however,  under  its 
present  form  a  pioneer  in  a  new 
branch  of  college  journalism,  and  its 
demise  should  not  be  taken  as  en- 
tirely indicative  of  its  ineffectiveness. 
Its  new  form  these  past  two  years 
may  have  been  a  bit  premature,  but 
the  seed  sown  will  ripen.  C  When 
it  comes  again  we  should  like  to  see  a 
new  plan  inaugurated.  Let  there  be 
a  general  board  in  control  of  student 
journalism,  as  there  is  in  control  of 
athletics,  and  let  the  profits  of  all 
branches  be  pooled,  so  that  our  de- 
velopment will  be  symmetrical.  Our 
suggestion  is,  that  in  addition  to  the 
Daily,  which  is  a  well  proved  success, 
we  might  maintain  a  popular  weekly 
or  semi-weekly,  resembling  in  some 
points  the  late  Inlander,  which  would 
offer  a  suitable  avenue  for  student  ex- 
pression on  popular  questions  in  Uni- 
versity life,  editorials,  and  short 
stories.  Second,  we  should  like  to 
see  a  monthly,  or  perhaps  at  first  a 
quarterly,  distinctively  literary  in  tone, 
in  which  the  best  of  student  thought 
and  expression  may  be  incorporated. 
That,  we  are  forced  to  acknowledge 
might  not  pay  financially,  but  its  final 
value  may  well  be  greater  than  that 
of  its  less  ambitious  contemporaries. 
Then,  by  all  means,  let  us  have  a 
humorous  paper  with  room  for  stu- 
dent humor  in  prose  or  verse,  with 
cartoons  and  sketches  similar  to 
Wrinkle,  which  a  few  years  ago,  died 
much  as  the  Inlander  died.  Wrinkle 
lived  ten  years  and  was  for  many 
years  a  financial  success,  so  that  a 
paper  of  this  sort  might  well  carry  its 
part  of  the  burden.  C  We  feel 
strongly  that  with  the  body  of  stu- 
dents at  the  University  and  with  the 
proved  ability  within  its  ranks,  once 
the  right  method  is  discovered,  there 
is  a  way  out  of  the  present  unfortu- 
nate condition  which   will  give  stu- 


dents some  expression  outside  of  the 
limited  columns  of  the  Daily.  One 
plan  has  been  suggested,  however, 
that  would  utilize  in  a  very  practical 
way,  those  very  columns,  by  issuing 
a  literary  supplement  to  the  Daily 
once  a  month  or  perhaps  bi-weekly. 
This  would  afford  an  acceptable  place 
for  a  discussion  of  student  problems 
as  well  as  for  efforts  along  more  pure- 
ly literary  lines,  that  would  have  two 
distinct  advantages.  It  would  be  as- 
sured immediately  on  the  delicate 
question  of  finances,  and  it  would  have 
a  large  audience  right  at  hand  in  the 
Daiiys  regular  subscription  roll.  It 
is  a  suggestion  worth  careful  atten- 
tion. 


THE  NEW  CLUB  HOUSE 

At  the  same  time  that  the 
plans  of  the  Memorial  Committee 
have  been  slowly  materializing, 
the  hopes  of  the  Michigan  Un- 
ion for  a  Club  House  have  as- 
sumed concrete  shape.  As  was  an- 
nounced last  spring,  the  home  of 
Judge  Thomas  M.  Cooley  on  State 
Street  has  been  purchased,  and  is  now 
being  remodeled  with  the  purpose  of 
making  it,  for  the  present,  as  service- 
able as  possible  as  a  temporary  quar- 
ters for  the  Union,  until  the  future 
building,  which  so  far  has  only  had 
existence  in  the  dreams  of  various 
enthusiasts,  shall  become  a  reality. 
While  the  present  building  can  do  but 
a  small  part  of  the  work  which  a 
larger  building  would  accomplish, 
even  in  its  incompleteness,  it  will  serve 
two  purposes.  It  will  furnish  a  focus 
for  student  life  such  as  we  have  never 
had.  The  Directors  have  realized  how 
necessary  this  is,  as  a  part  of  the  du- 
ties of  this  building  and  great  pains 
will  be  taken  to  make  it  as  effective 
as  possible  within  its  limited  amount 
of  space.  It  will  arouse  and  at  the 
same  time  crystallize  student  senti- 
ment and  furnish  a  definite  center  for 
their  enthusiasm.    In  the  second  place.

GEOGRAPHICAL  DISTRIBUTION 


this  building  will  serve  to  show  stu- 
dents, alumni,  and  all  interested  in 
fact,  the  possibilities  which  lie  in  such 
an  institution  and  bring  the  consum- 
mation of  the  future  so  much  nearer. 

But,  in  return  for  the  benefits  which 
this  building  will  confer  upon  the  Un- 
iversity, the  Directors  feel  that  they 
have  a  right  to  expect  sufficient  sup- 
port to  justify  what  is,  after  all,  an 
experiment.  The  dues  are  low,  $2.50> 
so  low,  in  fact,  that  the  Union  will  re- 
quire 1,500  or  2,000  paying  members 
to  defray  the  annual  expenses,  to  say 
nothing  of  the  actual  cost  of  putting 
the  building  in  commission.  In  addi- 
tion to  the  students  it  is  hoped  that 
a  large  percentage  of  the  Faculty  will 
join,  as  well  as  alumni  who  live  in 
the  city  or  who  make  it  a  practice  of 
returning  to  Ann  Arbor  occasionally. 
.  The  Union  is  for  them  as  well  as  for 
undergraduates. 

While  the  Union,  as  the  building  is 
to  be  known  henceforth,  will  not  be 
large  it  is  the  hope  of  the  Directors- 
to  make  it  a  center  of  college  life. 
Most  important  to  its  final  success  is 
the  interest  and  support  of  the  stu- 
dent body,  and  since  the  easiest  way 
to  a  man's  heart  is  proverbial,  the  one 
function  of  the  building  which  has 
been  emphasized  the  most  is  the  res- 
taurant. This  has  been  enlarged 
from  the  old  dining  rocrni  of  the  house 
by  throwing  into  it  the  capacious  dou- 
ble kitchen  of  the  old  house,  making 
a  large  room  twenty  by  twenty-eight 
feet  with  an  additional  alcove  four- 
teen feet  square,  and  building  an  ad- 
ditional kitchen  and  serving  room  in 
the  rear.  The  floor  plans  shown  op- 
posite page  8  will  give  some  idea  of 
the  arrangement.  Accommodations 
will  be  furnished  for  over  seventy- 
five  persons,  and  an  expert  restaur- 
anteur  has  been  engaged  as  manager 
of  the  Club.  Meals  will  be  served  a 
la  carte,  at  popular  prices,  for  stu- 
dents, faculty  members  and  alunmi, 
and,  in  addition  there  will  be  facilities 
for  the  many  banquets  and  dinners 


which  are  given  by  various  societies 
and  clubs  during  the  year.  The  first 
floor  will  also  contain  a  general  par- 
lor, or  lounging  room,  a  game  room 
with  four  tables,  which  can  if  neces- 
sary be  used  as  a  private  dining  room, 
and  a  cloak  room.  Two  of  the  rooms 
on  the  second  floor  have  been  com- 
bined to  make  a  billiard  room,  and 
another  on  the  north-east  comer  has 
been  made  into  a  reading  and  writing 
room,  with  an  attractive  ante-room  to 
be  furnished  with  upholstered  seats 
on  all  sides.  The  Directors  of  the 
Union  will  also  have  an  official  room 
in  which  they  will  hold  their  meetings, 
and  which  will  be  thrown  open  to  the 
officers  of  all  the  various  college  or- 
ganizations that  may  desire  to  use 
such  a  room.  The  manager  of  the 
Club  will  also  have  a  suite  of  rooms 
on  this  floor.  The  house  will  be 
redecorated  and  repaired  throughout, 
and  it  is  hoped  will  be  ready  to  throw 
open  its  doors  to  its  friends  by  the 
end  of  October. 


GEOGRAPHICAL  DISTRIBUTION  OF 
AMERICAN  UNIVERSITIES 
As  a  further  contribution  to  the  dis- 
cussion of  the  geographical  distribu- 
tion of  students  in  various  American 
imiversities,  which  was  aroused  by 
President  Hadley's  statement  before 
the  Yale  alumni  at  Cincinnati  last 
spring,  that  the  Western  universities 
were  necessarily  more  local  and  pro- 
vincial in  their  constituency  than  the 
larger  Eastern  colleges,  comes  one  of 
Dr.  Rudolph  Tombo's  statistical  pa- 
pers in  "Science"  for  July  26,  which 
furnishes  some  surprising  and  sug- 
gestive figures  on  this  moot  question. 
When  it  is  granted  that  Michigan 
should  draw  more  heavily  from  the 
West  than  from  the  East  and  vice

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[October 


the  North  Central  division  in  which 
Michigan  is  situated,  and  Harvard 
draws  522  students.  This  would  seem, 
of  course,  to  invalidate  any  sweeping 
statement  of  Michigan's  provincial- 
ism, especially  when  it  is  considered 
rather  a  reversal  of  the  usual  pro- 
cedure for  an  Eastern  student  to  go 
West  to  the  extent  that  they  have 
done  so  at  Michigan.  It  must  be  ac- 
knowledged, however,  that  Michigan 
has  a  long  lead  over  the  other  West- 
em  universities  comprised  in  the  table. 
The  addition  of  Chicago,  the  largest 
privately  endowed  institution  in  the 
West,  which  for  some  reason  has  not 
been  included,  might  change  the  fig- 
ures somewhat  in  this  regard. 

Although  Michigan  with  788  stu- 
dents outside  her  division  leads  all 
the  Western  Universities  in  this  regard 
(excepting  California  in  the  Western 
division),  she  draws  also  a  smaller 
percentage  of  students  from  the  North 
Central  division  as  well  as  her  own 
state;  ^^fo  of  her  enrollment  only, 
hailing  from  Michigan,  while  Wiscon- 
sin, Illinois,  and  Ohio  draw  82%, 
84%,  and  91%  respectively  from 
their  states.  This,  as  Dr.  Tombo 
points  out,  makes  the  clientele  of 
these  three  middle  Western  state  uni- 
versities more  local  in  character  than 
that  of  the  Eastern  institutions  com- 
prised in  the  table,  while  Michigan  at- 
tracts a  larger  percentage  of  students 
from  outside  its  own  state  than  do 
Pennsylvania,  Columbia,  Cornell,  or 
Lehigh.  Nevertheless,  92%  of  all  col- 
lege students  in  Michigan  who  attend 
the  universities  in  the  list,  attend  the 
institution  of  their  own  state.  Of  the 
Eastern  universities,  Yale  can  claim 
the  largest  number  of  students  from 
the  North  Central  division. 

A  resume  of  the  somewhat  extend- 
ed comparisons  which  Dr.  Tombo 
makes  shows  that  in  the  six  Eastern 
universities,  Columbia,  Cornell,  Har- 
vard, Princeton,  and  Yale,  there  has 
been  a  gain  in  attendance  from  every 
division  of  the  country.    The  increase 


from  the  South  Central  and  Western 
states,  and  insular  possessions,  in 
these  universities  has,  however,  been 
but  slight.  The  figures  show  that 
they  are  more  than  holding  their  own 
however,  in  sections  outside  the  At- 
lantic division,  especially  in  the  North 
Central  division,  and  that  the  total 
gain  of  these  six  universities  on  a  per- 
centage basis  amounted  to  3.51%  in 
their  own  division,  as  against  5.73% 
outside  of  the  division.  Columbia 
alone  has  suflfered  a  loss  in  the  North 
Central  division.  Harvard  and  Co- 
lumbia show  the  largest  representa- 
tion in  the  North  Atlantic  division, 
followed  by  Pennsylvania,  Cornell, 
Yale  and  Princeton  in  the  order 
named.  For  the  Western  universities, 
howevv*  Michigan  shows  an  increase 
from  394  to  505  in  two  years  in  the 
North  Central  division,  while  the  oth- 
er Western  universities  attract  only  a 
few  students  from  this  section. 

Columbia  and  Cornell,  as  might  be 
expected,  have  the  largest  representa- 
tion in  New  York  State,  followed  by 
Yale,  Harvard,  Princeton,  and  Mich- 
igan. The  writer  calls  attention  to 
Michigan's  increase  in  New  York 
State,  from  195  to  277  in  two  years, 
as  noteworthy.  Of  the  Eastern  uni- 
versities, Pennsylvania  enrolls  69%  of 
its  students  from  its  own  state,  Co- 
lumbia 64%,  and  Cornell  56%,  Har- 
vard 53%,  Yale  34%,  and  Princeton 
21%.  The  latter  two  universities, 
however,  are  in  comparatively  small 
states  and  this  undoubtedly  makes  a 
very  considerable  diflference  in  these 
percentages.  Michigan  receives  55% 
of  her  students  from  her  own  state. 

Virginia  naturally  has  the  largest 
following  in  the  South  Atlantic  divi- 
sion, while  Michigan  is  the  only  one 
of  the  Western  universities  which 
makes  a  fair  showing  in  these  states. 
Virginia  also  heads  the  list  in  the 
South  Central  division,  followed  by 
Harvard  with  102  students,  then  Cor- 
nell, Columbia,  Yale,  and  Michigan, 
who  has  68  students  from  this  divi-

sion.  The  New  England  colleges 
have  but  a  small  following.  It  is 
interesting  to  note,  however,  that  in 
the  individual  states  Michigan  leads 
in  Oklahoma  with  13  students,  fol- 
lowed by  Harvard  which  claims  8.  , 
Illinois,  Wisconsin,  Michigan,  and 
Ohio  naturally  have  the  largest  clien- 
tele in  the  North  Central  division, 
standing  at  present  in  the  order 
named.  Michigan,  as  has  been  point- 
ed out  before  however,  has  by  far  the 
largest  representation  outside  of  its 
own  state.  The  largest  inroads  in  the 
East  upon  the  students  coming  from 
the  West  have  been  made  by  Colum- 
bia in  Wisconsin,  by  Harvard  in  Wis- 
consin, by  Pennsylvania  in  Ohio  and 
by  Yale  in  Ohio,  while  Harvard  shows 
the  greatest  loss  in  the  last  mentioned 
state.  Leaving  the  University  of  Il- 
linois outside  consideration,  Michigan 
has  the  largest  showing  in  Illinois, 
followed  by  Wisconsin,  Harvard,  and 
Yale.  Michigan  also  leads  in  Indiana, 
while  Wisconsin  and  Illinois  lead  her 
in  Iowa.  Michigan  again  leads  in  Kan- 
sas ;  and  in  Mictugan,  leaving  the  Uni- 
versity out  of  consideration,  the  order 
is  Yale,  Cornell,  Illinois,  Columbia, 
Wisconsin  and  Harvard.  Michigan  also 
leads  Yale  and  Harvard  in  Missouri, 
while  Wisconsin  leads  in  Nebraska 
and  North  Dakota.  Again  leaving 
the  state  university  out  of  considera- 
tion, Michigan  leads  in  Ohio,  follow- 
ed by  Yale,  Harvard,  Cornell,  and  Co- 
lumbia. Michigan  also  leads  Wis- 
consin and  Illinois  in  South  Dakota, 
while  Illinois  leads  in  Wisconsin,  af- 
ter the  state  university  of  course,  fol- 
lowed by  Michigan,  Columbia,  Har- 
vard and  Yale.  Excluding  in  each 
case  the  respective  state  university,  Il- 
linois is  represented  by  loio  students 
at  the  list  of  institutions  named  in  the 
tables,  Ohio,  1076;  Wisconsin,  252; 
and  Michigan  by  215.  In  other  words 
at  Michigan  and  Wisconsin  92%  of 
the  students  considered  attend  the 
state  university,  in  Illinois  74%  and 
in  Ohio  63  per  cent. 


In  the  Western  division,  leaving 
California  out  of  consideration,  Mich- 
igan continues  in  the  lead  with  Har- 
vard and  Columbia  following,  each  of 
which  attracts  over  100  students  from 
this  section,  followed  by  Yale,  Cor- 
nell, Illinois,  and  Pennsylvania.  Mich- 
igan has  grown  from  134  to  155  in 
two  years,  while  Harvard  has  126. 
Although  the  representation  is  small, 
Michigan  leads  in  Arizona  (4),  New 
Mexico  (6),  and  Wyoming  (9),  while 
Harvard  leads  in  California,  followed 
by  Yale,  Columbia,  and  Michigan.  In 
Colorado  Michigan  leads  (40),  with 
Yale,  Harvard,  and  Columbia  follow- 
ing, and  in  Montana  Michigan  (32), 
leads  Columbia  and  Wisconsin.  Cal- 
ifornia, however,  leads  in  Nevada  and 
in  Oregon,  followed  in  the  latter  state 
by  Cornell,  Harvard,  and  Yale.  In 
Utah  Columbia  leads  Michigan  and 
Pennsylvania,  and  in  Washington, 
Harvard  leads  California,  Illinois,  and 
Michigan. 

As  to  the  insular  possessions,  Cor- 
nell continues  to  lead,  followed  by  Il- 
linois. Harvard  leads  in  the  Hawaii- 
an Islands,  Illinois  in  the  Philippine 
Islands,  and  Cornell  (6),  and  Mich- 
igan (6),  in  Porto  Rico.  A  total  of 
^7  foreign  students  attend  the  var- 
ious institutions  in  the  list.  Of  this 
number  the  largest  proportion  goes  to 
Pennsylvania,  followed  by  Columbia, 
Cornell,  and  Harvard.  Michigan, 
however,  leads  the  Western  institu- 
tions, followed  by  California,  Ohio, 
Wisconsin,  and  Illinois.

A  CANDID  FRIEND* 


This  frank  and  competent  book  has 
not  come  a  moment  too  soon.  No 
matter  how  one  may  rate  its  reme- 
dies or  berate  its  criticisms,  it  de- 
scribes and  grapples  with  an  actual 
situation.  Appeal  is  made,  not  simply 
to  members  of  faculties,  but  rather  to 
alumni,  fraternity  men,  trustees,  re- 
gents, parents,  and  to  undergraduates 
themselves.     I  have  no  hesitation  in

saying  that  all  alumni  should  consider 
it  their  duty  to  read,  mark,  learn  and 
inwardly  digest  it.  Mr.  Birdseye's 
contention  runs  thus.  The  universal 
sway  of  the  small  college  has  gone 
glimmering,  never  to  return  in  our 
generation  at  least.  Huge,  and  still 
expanding,  universities  control  the 
academic  world ;  the  once  intimacy  be- 
tween teacher  and  pupil  has  disappear- 
ed, and  the  professor  cannot  be  ex- 
pected to  exercise  police  control  over 
the  private  life  of  the  student  any

longer;  utilitarian  careers  elbow  out 
the  traditional  'learned'  professions  in 
the  competition  for  collie  men,  so 
that  the  exclusive  temper  of  the  quasi- 
medieval  university  has  undergone  a 
sea  change,  for  the  worse  rather  than 
the  better.  Hence  the  emergence  of 
a  vital  problem,  misunderstood  by 
some,  unperceived  by  many,  belittled, 
as  I  fear,  by  most.  "A  paramount 
problem  is  that  which  this  book  dis- 
cusses :  how  to  put  in  place  of  the  out- 
grown and  discarded  Individual  Train- 
ing of  the  college  past  a  present  and 
future  Individual  Training  that  shall 
efficiently  prepare  our  sons  to  be  solv- 
ers of  the  new  questions  that  will 
confront  them  after  they  leave  their 
Alma  Mater"  (233).  "It  is  criminal 
that  we  have  spent  so  much  on  inter- 
collegiate athletics  and  in  polluting 
our  college  atmosphere,  and  have  not 
devoted  a  tithe  of  the  money  and  time 
to  investigating  and  improving  con- 
ditions which  lead  so  surely  and  fre- 
quently to  deterioration  in  the  mental 
and  moral  qualities  of  our  students 
and  even  to  absolute  failures"  (252-3). 
"Everybody  is  asking  what  is  the 
tfouble  with  our  colleges  and  our  col- 
lege students?"  (331). 

Throughout,  Mr.  Birdseye  deals 
with  the  question  of  the  'college'  in 
the  strict  sense  of  this  term.  That  is 
to  say,  he  thinks  primarily  of  the  small 
or  middle-sized  institution,  comprising 
the  single  faculty  of  arts,  or  of  the 
literary  faculty  in  a  large  university. 
Circumscribed  thus,  the  subject  be- 
comes manageable,  and  with  startling 
results.  This  academic  organ  has  ex- 
perienced a  mariced  transformation 
these  last  twenty-five  years,  and  more 
particularly  within  the  past  decade. 
The  formative  and  solvent  influences 
are  obvious  enough,  (i)  The  teuton- 
ization  of  the  arts  course,  with  its 
presentation  of  numerous  electives  to 
students  who  happen  to  be  neophytes, 
and  who  possess,  on  the  whole,  no 
such  preparation  as  that  acquired  in 
the  gymnasia  by  German  matriculants. 


(2)  The  multiplication  of  new  sub- 
jects, many  of  which,  being  still  in  the 
formative  stage,  afford  no  solid  body 
of  disciplinary  material,  and  yet  are 
conceived  to  be  educational  instru- 
ments equally  effective  with  tested 
knowledge  taught  everywhere  on  the 
same  plane  and  according  to  closely 
identical  methods.  (3)  The  develop- 
ment of  the  professional  schools,  with 
their  undisguised  utilitarianism.  (4) 
The  pressure  of  an  abounding  com- 
mercialism in  all  classes,  favored 
by  unexampled  circumstances,  which 
has  issued  in  the  colossal  mis- 
take that  an  'education  for  life,' 
so-called,  is  also  necessarily  the 
education  for  humanity.  (5)  The 
'  failure  to  provide  for  and  insist  upon 
academic  distinction  as  the  end  for 
which  the  literary  faculty  exists — a 
consequence  of  our  fatuous  doctrine 
of  democracy,  and  of  our  enthrone- 
ment of  'social'  or  athletic  prominence 
(fatite  de  mieux)  as  the  sole  aim 
worth  a  student's  while.  If  the  'col- 
lege' languishes,  small  wonder,  for  it 
has  employed  no  foresight,  and  hardly 
any  effort  to  combat  or  even  to  guide 
these  tendencies.  In  my  own  judg- 
ment, they  are  not  beyond  control 
even  now,  but,  continue  the  policy  of 
drift,  and  very  soon  they  may  master 
us  irrevocably.  Mr.  Birdseye  per- 
ceives all  this,  and  draws  the  picture 
in  his  own  way,  with  great  force  and 
vitality. 

Of  course,  the  graduate  of  a  New 
England  college  does  not  occupy  the 
same  angle  as  a  professor  of  a  large 
State  university.  And  I  would  add 
just  one  observation  to  Mr.  Birdseye's 
long  list.  The  main  problem  at  the 
great  university  today  centers  pre- 
cisely in  the  literary  faculty.  This, 
far  more  than  aught  else,  demands 
closest  study,  most  constant  care  and 
mpst  continuous  consideration  ft-om 
authorities  and  alumni  alike.  The  as- 
tounding fact  is  that  it  is  apt  to  re- 
ceive least,  just  because  its  conditions 
are  so  complex;  the  idea  seeming  to

be  that  it  may  well  be  left  to  muddle 
through  somehow!  The  result  is 
written  so  plain  that  no  trained  aca- 
demic man  can  fail  to  see^  The  more 
the  literary  faculty  is  left  to  the  ten- 
der mercies  of  the  main  stream  of 
tendency  in  our  community,  the  more 
the  university  ceases  to  be  such,  the 
more  irretrievably  it  sinks  to  the  level 
of  the  shop,  a  plane  where  no  one  of 
the  admirable  aims  set  forth  by  Mr. 
Birdseye  can  be  achieved  possibly. 
To  speak  back  to  him  with  all  his 
own  frankness; — ^the  literary  faculty 
has  one,  and  only  one,  excuse  for  ex- 
istence. Its  office  is  to  turn  out  schol- 
ars, in  the  broadest  sense  of  this  word 
— men  interested  in,  or  on  the  way  to 
become  masters  of,  wisdom  about 
mankind  or  knowledge  and  insight 
concerning  nature.  The  base  uses  to 
which  it  is  put  today  conspire  to  ren- 
der this  product  rarer  and  rarer.  Sem- 
inal personalities  fail  among  our  grad- 
uates. The  mother  faculty  has  lost 
its  spinal  column,  and,  like  most  in- 
vertebrates, is  sore  beset  by  foibles. 
At  this  point  I  come  into  collision 
with  Mr.  Birdseye;  but,  ere  proceed- 
ing to  show  why,  let  me  quote  some 
points  with  which  one  can  agree,  all 
things  considered,  just  to  g^ve  a  taste 
of  his  quality. 

"The  scepter  has  passed  forever 
from  the  private  school,  and  is  threat- 
ened in  the  privately  endowed  college" 
(117).  "It  behooves  the  old  graduate 
of  the  earlier  New  England  colleges, 
who  believes  that  they  hold  a  patent 
right  and  monopoly  on  higher  educa- 
tion, to  pause  in  awe  before  the  ac- 
complishments of  our  great  public 
high  schools  and  the  immense  state 
universities  by  which  their  courses 
are  crowned,  especially  in  the  West" 
(127).  "If  we  could  cut  out  of  our 
colleges  the  vice  and  evil  that  are 
brought  to  them  by  the  graduates  of 
the  preparatory  and  high  schools  and 
those  which  develop  from  these 
sources  after  entrance,  we  could  re- 


duce the  evils  of  college  life  more  than 
fifty  per  cent  ...  If  we  wish  to 
change  college  conditions,  we  must 
begin  in  the  secondary  schools"  (128- 
9).  "Commencement  honors  are 
practically  nothing  in  our  time.  For- 
merly the  best-known  man  in  college 
was  the  best  scholar.  .  .  .  Today 
he  is  the  best  athlete,  and  scholarly  at- 
tainments have  taken  comparatively 
a  low  place"  (63).  "The  reason  is 
apparently  not  far  to  seek.  ...  No 
college  president,  backed  by  .  .  . 
puritanical  customs  .  .  .  ever  had 
the  power  over  the  individual  now 
possessed  by  the  high-priced  college 
coach.  ...  He  may  not  be  a  saint 
like  the  faculty  and  alumni,  but  if  we 
study  him  aright,  he  gives  us  a  fine 
illustration  of  what  we  may  hope  to 
do  on  the  higher  planes  of  college 
training"  (165).  "Not  only  has 
the  old  Individual  Training  been 
lost,  but  in  too  many  cases  the 
modem  college  atmosphere  is  an- 
tagonistic to  it"  (171).  "There 
has  been  a  decided  lowering  of 
the  scale  of  aveirage  college  schol- 
arship during  the  last  thirty  years" 
(184).  "If  the  alumni  and  the  gen- 
eral public  would  permit  the  prompt 
discharge  of  an  inefficient  professor 
....  collegiate  conditions  would 
sometimes  be  greatly  improved" 
(188-9).  "The  general  college  at- 
mosphere is  not  a  'culture'  atmos- 
phere. It  is  more  apt  to  be  for  lazi- 
ness and  shirking,  and  athletic,  social 
and  fraternity  distractions.  Nor  is  it 
an  atmosphere  that  is  likely  to  make 
a  young  man  seek  culture  in  after 
years"  (193).  "There  is  no  recog- 
nized winnowing  and  assorting  pro- 
cess. Our  colleges  preach  the  value 
of  selective  power,  but  do  not  practice 
what  they  preach.  There  is  no  ex- 
cuse for  this"  (253).  "We  as  alumni 
should  insist  upon  the  restoration  of 
a  premium  upon  sterling  work  in  col- 
lege. .  .  .  We  object  to  having  any 
product  of  human  thought  reduced  to 
a  dead  level    We  strongly  repudiate

this  clement  of  the  trades  union.  We 
are  getting  too  much  of  it  into  our 
present  educational  methods"  (285). 
"We  are  attempting  to  stuff  our  stu- 
dents with  knowledge  instead  of 
teaching  them  to  think"  (293). 
**Young  men  have  enough  lectures, 
sermons  and  callings  down,  and  too 
few  lives  lived  among  them  and  with 
them"  (325).  "Your  forefathers  in 
college  were  fed  to  the  full  for  four 
years  with  this  intimate,  personal 
touch  with  great  men  and  leaders. 
You  and  your  fellows  are  in  danger 
of  being  starved  in  this  particular" 
(343)-  "What  you  need  is  a  panic, 
a  fierce,  raging  panic,  which  shall  cut 
down  your  attendance,  and  make  you 
feel  that  your  college  world  is  coming 
to  an  end"  (367).    So  far,  so  good. 

But  I  must  take  decisive  issue  with 
Mr.  Birdseye's  philistinism,  when  it 
comes,  not  so  much  to  remedies,  as  to 
his  attitude  respecting  them,  the  gen- 
eral perspective  in  which  he  sets  then). 
He    has    forgotten    that   the   United 
States,  to  adopt  Mr.  Arthur  Symons' 
suggestive  simile,  has  civilized  itself 
into  the  likeness  of  a  steam  roimda- 
bout  at  a  fair;  it  goes  clattering  and 
turning  to  the  sound  of  a  jubilant  hur- 
dy-gurdy, always  on  the  same  track 
but  always  faster;  and  the  children 
astride  the  wooden  horses  think  that 
they  are  getting  to  the  world's  end. 
Mr.  Birdseye  seems  to  suppose  that 
a    further    'automobilization    of    the 
mind'   would  cure  our  colleges.     A 
most  common  and,  let  me  add,  a  most 
vulgar,    notion.      The    'college'    has 
nothing  to  do  with  "real  commercial 
competition"    ( 189) ;   it   is   not   "the 
Pennsylvania   Railroad"    (227),    nor 
yet  the  Alton ;  its  office  is  not  to  train 
people  "to  earn   a  competence,   and 
hence  to  support  a  family  as  early  as 
may  be"  (244)  ;  we  do  not  "need  our 
best  alumni  to  teach  us  better  factory 
practice"  (286)  ;  one  might  as  well  tell 
professors  to  go  to  and  sell  milk  by 
the  yard  as  to  "set  up  new  standards 
in  your  factory"  (263).    All  this  may 


be  true  under  conditions  where  men 
are  trained  to  effect  things  for  other 
folk,  to  work  out  material  labors  for 
illusory  ends,  humanly  speaking.    It 
is  the  one  thing  for  which,  above  all 
others,  the  college  does  not  exist,  or 
rather,  exists  to  protest  against.  And, 
strangely      enough,      Mr.      Birdseye 
knows  this  more  excellent  way  per- 
fectly well.     For  example,  he  writes 
as  follows : — "An  examination  is  often 
the  only  penalty  for  overcutting  .    .    . 
This  tends  to  lower  the  whole  stand- 
ard of  college  scholarship  to  the  grade 
of  fifty,  in  the  eyes  of  the  shiricers  or 
thoughtless,  and  soon  of  the  faculty, 
the  college  body  and  the  general  pub- 
lic" (183) :  "We  need  more  and  more 
the  touch  of  the  older  men  to  teach 
us  what   we  cannot  find   in  books" 
( 171 ) .    He  quotes,  with  approval,  'we 
should  not  attempt  to  m^e  mental 
storehouses  of  our  men,  but  mental 
factories'    (291).     He   is  plainly  of 
opinion  that  the  West  Point  system 
excels,  and  he  has  pointed  his  moral 
by  reference  to  Colonel  Lamed's  ad- 
mirable statement,  that  West   Point 
"takes  its  youth  at  the  critical  period 
of  growth ;  it  isolates  them  completely 
for  nearly  four  years  from  the  atmos- 
phere of  commercialism;  it  provides 
absorbing  employment  for  both  men- 
tal   and    physical    activities;    it    sur- 
rounds them  with  exacting  responsi- 
bilities, high  standards,  and  uncom- 
promising traditions  of  honor  and  in- 
tegrity; and  it  demands  a  rigid  ac- 
countability for  every  moment  of  their 
time    and    every    voluntary    action" 

(178^). 

In  other  words,  the  college  is  not 
a  factory,  and  cannot  entertain  any 
of  the  methods  of  a  factory,  because 
each  separate  piece  of  its  raw  mater- 
ial happens  to  be  unique ;  and  the  mis- 
sion of  the  college  is  exactly  to  ren- 
der it  more  unique,  if  at  all  possible. 
Further,  this  consummation  can  be 
brought  about  only  in  one  way — by 
constant  contact  with  men  of  a  cer- 
tain mold,  of  certain  ascertained  at-

tainments,  of  a  certain  outlook,  very 
specially,  upon  the  relative  values  of 
things  possible  in  a  human  life.    This, 
too,    Mr.    Birdseye   knows    perfectly 
well.     He  tells  us,  for  instance,  that 
*'we  have  all  failed  to  realize  that  true, 
strong,  upright  manhood  is  taught  by 
touch  with  men  of  such  quality  and 
not  from  mere  text-bodes.    It  is  lives, 
not  lectures,  examples,  not  precepts, 
work,  not  play  .   .    .  that  make  strong 
men"    (236-7) :    that    "true    culture 
comes  from  within  and  is  not  a  ve- 
neer.    It  must  grow  in  a  congenial 
soil  and  be  of  the  heart  as  well  as  of 
the  head"  (88)  :  that  "our  institutions 
are  today  strong  enough,  rich  enough, 
and   well   enough   developed.     What 
they  need  is  to  improve  the  quality  of 
their  product.    This  can  be  done  only 
by  cultivating  a  mental,  moral  and 
physical  atmosphere  which,  lie  the 
West  Point  spirit,  shall  be  the  true 
essence  of  their  greatness,  environing 
every  one  that  enters,  and  so  molding 
his  spirit  that,  when  he  comes  to  the 
common  or  the  great  things  of  after 
life,  he  shall  not  be  found  wanting; 
and  this  must  be  done  by  discipline 
and  not  by  dawdling"  (336-7).    Yea 
and  amen  I     But  to  such  fine  issues 
spiritual  means — ^means  that  are  noth- 
ing but  individualized  and  formative 
personalities — ^are,   not  merely   indis- 
pensable, but  the  single  thing  needful. 
Accordingly,  the  first  object  of  the 
college,  the  literary  college,  is  to  pro- 
duce the  men  who  can  become  such 
means.     And   this   result  can   ensue 
only  in  an  environment  where  factory 
ideas  have  no  hold,  where  spiritual 
things  are  spiritually  discerned.     Let 
me  make  myself  plainer  by  reference 
to  facts  of  my  own  observation.    One 
great  contrast  between  the  academic 
institutions  of  the  United  States  and 
those  of  Europe  centers  in  the  cir- 
cumstance that  the  latter  concentrate 
on  their  faculties  more  (possibly  much 
more)  of  the  available  brains  of  the 
country.     The  reasons  are  so  plain 
that  I  need  not  tarry  to  adduce  them. 


And,  if  our  colleges  fail  today,  it  is 
largely  on  account  of  this  condition. 
Therefore,  the  clamant  call  to  the  lit- 
erary college  (and  I  cannot  emprasize 
it  too  strongly)  is  to  cream  the  Geist 
of  the  youth,  to  tincture  it  with  ideas, 
and  to  turn  it  into  spiritual  channek. 
Why?  In  order  that  the  teachers  of 
youth  in  the  future  may  excel  those 
of  the  past  and  present  in  proportion 
as  the  difficulties  of  problems  in  the 
future  must  exceed  those  of  the  past 
and  present,  as  Mr.  Birdseye  himself 
insists  continually.  The  first  reform 
belongs  here  and  nowhere  else.  Get 
your  very  best  man,  set  them  to  this 
service,  the  rest  will  be  easy.  It  is 
very  old  advice ;  seek  ye  first  the  king- 
dom of  heaven,  and  all  these  things 
will  be  added  unto  you.  The  mission- 
aries of  the  human  spirit,  those  who 
salve  an  institution,  are  all  too  few  in 
any  one  of  our  colleges ;  if,  in  all,  the 
staff  belonged  to  this  class,  Mr.  Birds- 
eye's  book  would  never  have  been 
penned.  It  is  no  derogation  to  the 
professional  schools  to  say  that  there 
Mr.  Birdseye's  factory  and  railroad 
analogies  fmd  free  course — ^that  is 
their  avowed  business.  On  the  other 
hand,  as  one  of  my  own  colleague3 
once  said  to  me;  we  of  the  profes- 
sional schools  can  never  expect  to  take 
the  same  position  as  the  best  profes- 
sors of  the  literary  faculty.  I  cannot 
agree;  yet  this  formulates  the  point; 
and  the  colleges  or  literary  faculties 
should  see  to  it  that  none  save  just 
such  professors  form  their  staff.  To 
produce  them  is  the  prime  affair  of 
college  education.  When  they  have 
been  produced,  all  that  Mr.  Birdseye 
seeks  for  and  from  the  college  will 
follow  as  a  matter  of  course.  If  he 
will  provide  me  the  means  to  select  a 
certain  t3rpe  of  men,  to  concentrate 
them  in  a  single  institution,  free  from 
all  care  for  that  profane  person  edu- 
cationally— the  Public,  I  think  I  can 
guarantee  the  realization  of  ideals 
even  more  definite  than  those  he  out- 
lines.

The  fact  that  Mr.  Birdseye  is  a 
lawyer,  not  an  educationist,  implies 
much.  He  diagnoses  many  evils,  not 
the  evil.  He  fails  to  perceive  that  the 
main  affair  of  college  education,  as 
contrasted  with  professional  educa- 
tion, is  to  concentrate  the  attention  of 
those  who  are  capable  of  such  con- 
centration upon  matters  of  the  last  im- 
portance to  man,  but  matters  that  fail 
to  appear  on  the  dancing  surface  of 
the  workaday  world.  This  education 
aims  to  point  out  the  relative  weights 
of  the  human  factors  that  make  for 
spiritual  leadership.  These  factors,  no 
matter  what  ordinary  seemings  may 
indicate,  determine  ultimately  the 
course  of  human  life.  They  have  done 
so  from  the  beginning.  Gotama,  Con- 
fucius, Moses,  Jesus,  Mohammed  still 
rule  the  world.  Mr.  Birdseye  has  for- 
gotten that,  for  all  our  new  sciences, 
we  traffic  yet  with  the  oldest,  because 
the  basal,  realities.  Life  is  no  new 
thing,  biology  is  of  yesterday;  and 
the  same  may  be  said  of  man  and  psy- 
chology, of  society  and  sociology,  and 
so  forth.  In  plain  view  of  these  plain 
issues,  the  college  mission  is  to  force 
the  youth  so  to  realize  the  controlling 
power  of  the  highest  human  possibili- 
ties that  they  may  govern  the  material 
accompaniments  of  our  material  lot. 
Racial  and  national  greatness  have 
never  flourished  under  any  other  con- 
ditions. The  evil  in  our  college  educa- 
tion at  the  moment  flows  from  its  sub- 
servience to  mediocrity  and  to  things 
to  temporary  value.  And  so  it  fails  to 
furnish  those  motives  to  high  thinking 
and  plain  living  which  Mr.  Birdseye 
so  desiderates.  In  all  material  re- 
spects our  civilization  waxes  obese,  in 
most  spiritual  affairs  it  recalls  the  lean 
kine.  And  our  college  course  is  too 
accordant.  The  trumpet  call  to  the 
college  today,  therefore,  is  to  come 
out  and  take  up  the  burden  of  leader- 
ship, never  to  follow  in  the  ruck.  In 
so  far  forth  many  writers  on  the  sub- 
ject miss  the  mark  pitifully.  As  Mr. 
Birdseye  tends  sometimes,  so  do  they 


invariably.  They  minimize  education 
and  maximize  a  vag^e  something 
which  tliey  call  practical  life,  so  that 
everything  they  have  to  tell  of  the 
former  comes  in  forma  pauperis.  Ed- 
ucation must  set  about  being  mili- 
tant, first  for  its  own  great  sake,  and 
then,  through  this,  for  practical  life. 
It  has  run  to  seed  in  the  scurry  of 
acquisition  and  in  the  blindness  of  a 
petty  methodism;  it  behooves  us  to 
cultivate  it  back  to  intellectual,  mora! 
and  spiritual  fruitfulness.  Indeed,  we 
must  so  do,  if  we  are  to  cope  with  the 
tremendous  issues  gestating  in  mod- 
em life.  Only  the  best,  the  most  se- 
lect, men  can  accomplish  this  task; 
and  only  the  college  can  elicit  them. 
Your  college,  accordingly,  must  cease 
to  manufacture  hirelings  of  scholas- 
ticism, and  bring  prophets  to  birth. 
Let  it  thus  liberate  the  innate  idealism 
of  life,  and  the  rest  will  be  simple. 
Mr.  Birdseye's  weakness,  therefore, 
can  be  traced  to  his  insistence  upon 
what  he  proposes  to  the  college.  This 
has  little  or  nothing  to  do  with  the 
problem,  which  is,  What  does  the  col- 
lege presuppose  in  its  own  central  na- 
ture ? 

It  is  alleged  of  my  countrymen  that, 
when  they  agree  with  you  on  ninety- 
nine  points  out  of  one  hundred,  they 
insist  upon  discussing  the  hundredth. 
This  has  been  my  method  with  Mr. 
Birdseye.  Let  me  conclude  with  the 
reverse.  His  book  is  a  notable  and 
timeous  contribution  which  every  un- 
iversity man  should  peruse.  Indeed, 
were  it  discussed  in  class,  with  a  real 
personality  on  the  platform,  it  would 
be  an  ideal  substitute  for  oceans  of 
pedagogical  slops.  Finally,  I  recom- 
mend it  earnestly  to  all  our  alumni. 
It  will  reveal  to  them  many  of  the 
difficulties  that  we  teachers  carry  on 
our  hearts.  It  will  open  their  eyes 
to  the  services  which,  if  they  but  took 
thought,  they  might  render  us,  to  the 
end  that  our  university  should  stand, 
where  some  of  us  are  toiling  and 
moiling  to  make  her  stand,  not  merely

WILLOUGHBY  DAYTON  MILLER 


In  the  death  of  Willoughby  Dayton 
Miller,  Ph.D.,  D.D.S.,  M.D.,  ScD., 
which  occurred  at  the  Newark,  Ohio, 
Hospital,  July  2y,  1907  not  only  the 
Dental  Department  and  the  Univer- 
sity, but  the  dental  profession  of  the 
world,  suffered  the  greatest  possible 
loss.  Professor  Miller  had  just  re- 
turned to  this  country  from  Germany, 
where  he  had  practiced  for  many 
years  and  had  been  honored  signally 
by  the  German  Emperor,  to  take  up 
his  new  duties  as  Dean  of  the  Dental 
Department  of  the  University.  His 
death  followed  an  attack  of  heart 
failure,  preceded  by  an  operation  for 
appendicitis  five  days  before. 

The  news  of  this  sudden  removal 
from  a  sphere  of  great  activity,  and 
of  devotion  to  his  beloved  profession, 
will  be  a  great  shock  to  his  many 
friends  and  admirers  and  bring  a 
sense  of  incalculable  loss  to  the  dental 
profession  throughout  the  world,  as 
he  unquestionably  was  the  foremost 
scientist  in  his  profession,  and  was 
just  entering  upon  a  new  career  of 
great  importance  to  the  profession  of 
this  country. 

W.  D.  Miller  was  bom  August  i, 
1853,  near  Alexandria,  Licking 
County,  Ohio,  where  his  parents  lived 
on  a  farm,  which  is  still  in  the  posses- 
sion of  the  family  and  where  he  al- 
ways spent  his  vacations  when  in  this 
country.  When  he  was  twelve  years 
of  age  his  parents  removed  to  New- 
ark, Ohio,  about  ten  miles  distant 
from  the  farm,  and  he  entered  the 
public  schools  of  that  city  and  pre- 
pared for  college.    After  he  was  grad- 


uated from  high  school  in  187 1,  he  en- 
tered the  University  of  Michigan  that 
fall  and  took  his  degree  of  Bachelor  of 
Arts  in  June,  1875.  While  in  college 
he  devoted  himself  especially  to  math- 
ematics and  physics.  Upon  his  gradua- 
tion he  decided  to  adopt  as  his  profes- 
sion that  of  mathematical  physics,  and 
went  to  Scotland  and  entered  upon  a 
course  of  study  in  the  Edinburgh 
University  under  Sir  William  Thom- 
son. He  spent  one  year  there,  and 
then  went  to  Berlin,  Germany,  for 
further  preparation.  Here,  through 
overwork  and  study,  his  health  gave 
away  and  he  was  compelled  to  stop 
his  labors  to  recuperate,  and  it  was 
during  this  enforced  period  of  rest 
that  he  found  his  life's  great  work  in 
a  most  unexpected  way. 

At  this  time  Doctor  F.  P.  Abbot 
was  the  representative  American 
dentist  at  Berlin.  He  had  married 
the  daughter  of  a  former  American 
minister  to  Switzerland,  Mr.  Theo.  S. 
Fay,  and  his  home  became  well  known 
to  all  Americans  sojourning  in  the 
German  capital.  Dr.  Miller  was  a 
frequent  guest  at  the  home  of  Dr. 
Abbot  and  became  acquainted  with 
his  older  daughter  whom  he  after- 
wards married.  Through  his  intimate 
acquaintance  with  Dr.  Abbot,  Dr. 
Miller  became  interested  in  the  chemi- 
cal aspects  of  the  dental  art  and  made 
some  researches  for  the  Doctor  con- 
cerning tin  and  gold  fillings.  These 
so  greatly  pleased  Dr.  Abbot  that  he 
induced  Dr.  Miller  to  return  to  Amer- 
ica and  take  the  dental  course,  where 
he  was  graduated  from  the  Univer-

sity  of  Pennsylvania  in  1879.  He  re- 
turned to  Berlin  and  took  up  the  prac- 
tice of  dentistry  and  began  the  study 
of  bacteriology  with  the  famous  Pro- 
fessor Koch. 

From  this  time  on  he  entered  into 
the  scientific  work  of  his  profession 
with  all  the  zeal  and  enthusiasm  which 
were  so  characteristic  of  the  man,  and 
which  made  him  in  due  time  the  fore- 
most dentat  scientist  of  the  world. 
He  continued  a  devoted  student  and 
at  the  same  time  carried  on  a  large 
practice.  He  soon  began  to  give  the 
results  of  his  scientific  researches  to 
the  profession  and  thus  entered  upon 
a  public  career  that  involved  a  great 
demand  upon  his  time  and  physical 
resources,  so  much  so  that  he  was 
once  compelled  to  stop  all  work  for 
a  period  of  two  or  three  years,  and 
give  his  time  to  recuperating  his 
health. 

In  1884  he  was  made  Professor  of 
Dentistry  in  the  University  of  Berlin, 
the  highest  honor  that  could  be  con- 
ferred upon  him.  It  is  said  that  a 
German  Professorship  had  never  be- 
fore this  time  been  conferred  upon  a 
foreigner.  In  passing  it  is  interesting 
to  note  that  this  act  of  the  German 
government  made  Dr.  Miller  a  Ger- 
man citizen,  although  he  never  took 
out  German  papers  of  citizenship,  and 
consequently  when  he  resigned  his 
professorship  in  the  fall  of  1906  to 
accept  a  professorship  in  the  Univer- 
sity of  Michigan  he  lost  his  German 
citizenship  and  became  an  American 
citizen  again;  or  what  is  really  the 
better  way  to  put  it,  the  German 
Empire  lost  an  official  subject. 

Eh*.  Miller  began  contributing  his 
work  in  188 1  through  the  dental  so- 
cieties, his  first  paper  of  importance 
was  read  that  year  at  the  annual  meet- 
ing of  the  American  Dental  Society 
of  Europe,  at  Wiesbaden.  This  was 
soon  fojlowed  by  a  series  of  contribu- 
tions to  the  Independent  Practitioner, 
a  dental  journal  edited  by  Dr.  W.  C. 
Barrett,  of  Buffalo.  N.  Y.  These  pa- 
pers were    upon  the  subject  of  the 


etiology  of  dental  caries,  and  were 
received  with  much  adverse  criticism 
since  they  propounded  a  new  theory 
as  to  the  cause  of  dental  caries.  They 
resulted,  as  is  well  known  to  his 
own  profession,  in  the  establish- 
ment of  the  present  theory  as  to 
the  cause  of  this  disease  which  is  now 
universally  accepted.  The  work  done 
on  this  subject  at  once  established  Dr. 
Miller's  reputation  as  a  scientist,  as  it 
was  thorough  and  faultless.  From 
this  time  on  he  has  been  a  constant 
contributor  to  the  literary  and  scien- 
tific, and  to  a  considerable  degree,  to 
the  technical  work  of  his  profession. 
In  1887  Dr.  Miller  took  the  "Rigor- 
osum"  examination  for  the  medical 
degree  in  Berlin  University.  This  is 
the  most  exhaustive  of  all  examina- 
tions in  this  university,  and  he  passed 
it  with  the  predicate  of  "Magna  cum 
Laude,"  and  a  record  of  fourteen  out 
of  a  possible  fifteen  points,  the  next 
highest  record  obtained  by  anyone  at 
that  examination  being  eight.  As  a 
result  of  this  examination.  Dr.  Miller's 
position  in  the  Berlin  University  and 
in  the  minds  of  the  German  dentists 
was  made  secure,  as  the  government 
had  been  severely  criticised  before  for 
retaining  on  the  faculty  a  foreigner, 
and  many  attempts  were  made  to  have 
the  Minister  of  Education  replace  him 
with  some  German  dentist.  At  the 
time  of  his  leaving  Germany,  all  pre- 
judice had  disappeared  and  the  Ger- 
man dentists  did  all  in  their  power  to 
persuade  him  to  remain  and  complete 
his  work  in  Germany.  It  is  reported 
that  there  was  no  one  man  to  whom 
the  German  dentists  were  more  loyal 
than  to  Dr.  Miller,  and  American 
dentists  practicing  in  Germany  strong- 
ly opposed  his  return  to  this  country, 
as  he  stood  between  them  and  the 
efforts  continually  being  made  to  dis- 
credit their  legal  standing  by  German 
practitioners.  His  wise  counsel  and 
known  integrity  as  well  as  his  kind 
and  generous  disposition  made  him 
the  most  influential  member  of  his 
profession  in  Europe.     He  was  not

only  honored  for  his  work  and  attain- 
ments, but  he  was  universally  beloved 
for  his  personal  character,  and  there 
will  now  be  many  sad  hearts  where  he 
was  best  known.  Dr.  Miller  had  had 
a  great  number  of  honors  conferred 
upon  him.  He  was  an  honorary  mem- 
ber of  37  different  professional  organ- 
izations; the  University  of  Michigan 
conferred  upon  him  the  honorary  de- 
gree of  Doctor  of  Philosophy;  the 
University  of  Pennsylvania  the  degree 
of  Doctor  of  Science ;  the  Fourth  In- 
ternational Dental  Congress  at  St. 
Louis,  in  1904,  bestowed  upon  him  a 
gold  medal  for  a  paper  presented 
there  entitled,  "A  Study  of  Certain 
Questions  Relating  to  the  Pathology 
of  the  Teeth."  He  had  many  other 
honors  of  which  we  are  not  suffi- 
ciently informed  to  speak.  At  the 
time  when  he  was  considering  the 
question  of  leaving  Berlin  for  Ann 
Arbor,  the  German  Emperor  con- 
ferred upon  him  the  very  honorable 
title  of  "Kaiserlicher  Geheimer  Medi- 
zinalrath,"  or  "privy  medical  council- 
lor to  the  Emperor." 

The  faculty  of  the  University  of 
Michigan  has  for  many  years  cher- 
ished the  hope  that  some  day  it  should 
haye  the  help  of  Professor  Miller  in 
carrying  out  its  plans  of  making  Ann 
Arbor  one  of  the  best  places  of  dental 
learning  in  the  world,  and  when  three 
years  ago  in  a  private  conversation  the 
writer  learned  that  he  was  desirous 
of  returning  to  this  country  that  he 
might  complete  some  woric  here  for 
his  profession  that  he  very  much 
wanted  to  do  and  which  he  could  not 
well  do  in  Germany,  steps  were  im- 
mediately taken  to  bring  him  back  to 
this  country  and  to  the  University  of 
Michigan.  Professor  Miller  came  to 
Ann  Arbor  and  conferred  with  the 
dental  Faculty  and  University  au- 
thorities and  finding  that  the  work  re- 
quired of  him  was  so  heartily  in  ac- 
cord with  that  which  he  wished  to 
imdertake,  and  that  the  University 
was  so  willing  to  accord  him  the  facil- 
ities for  accomplishing  it,  he  was  per- 


suaded to  sever  his  relations  with 
Berlin,  in  spite  of  the  great  pressure 
made  in  Germany  to  dissuade  him. 
Friends,  colleagues,  dental  societies 
and  the  highest  government  officials 
by  their  appeals  made  it  difficult  for 
him  to  leave  the  place  he  had  so  long 
and  acceptably  filled  for  a  new  and 
unknown  field.  As  was  characteristic 
of  the  man,  although  a  rich  merchant 
of  Berlin  offered  to  build,  equip  and 
support  for  him  a  complete  dental  re- 
search laboratory,  if  he  would  stay  in 
Berlin,  he  decided  to  come  to  Ann 
Arbor  because  he  could  there  do  the 
work  that  he  believed  most  needed  to 
be  done.  Perhaps  nothing  can  be  said 
that  would  better  illustrate  the  unsel- 
fish devotion  of  the  man  to  his  pro- 
fession than  to  say  that  the  work  he 
planned  to  do  here  was  of  such  a  na- 
ture that  it  would  probably  not  have 
added  a  greater  honor  to  those  already 
conferred  upon  him,  but  it  would  have 
contributed  immensely  to  the  future 
welfare  of  his  profession,  and  this  he 
considered  much  more  important  than 
any  personal  emolument  or  renown. 
The  idea  that  inspired  Dr.  Miller 
in  recent  years  was  to  find  some  way 
by  which  the  decay  and  loss  of  the 
teeth  might  be  prevented,  one  that 
could  be  universally  applied  and 
which,  especially,  should  be  within 
the  means  of  the  people  who  are  un- 
able to  pay  for  the  present  surgical 
methods  of  treatment.  With  this  in 
view  the  last  three  years  of  his  life 
were  spent  on  an  exhaustive  research 
of  the  present  mouth  toilet  prepara- 
tions and  prophylactic  methods.  He 
had  but  just  begun  this  work  and  it 
was  his  purpose  to  continue  this  re- 
search until  he  could  determine  wheth- 
er there  was  any  chance  of  finding  a 
solution  of  this  problem  in  that  direc- 
tion. So  far  his  work  has  thrown 
much  light  on  the  injuries  resulting 
from  the  misuse  of  the  tooth  brush 
and  injurious  abrasive  tooth  powders, 
and  has  created  a  new  interest  in  the 
chemical  causes  of  wasting  of  the 
tooth  structure.     It  was  Dr.  Miller's

plan  to  continue  this  research  and  he 
had  great  hope  that  he  would  succeed 
in  adding  something  of  value  to  pre- 
ventive methods,  or  at  least  that  oral 
hygiene  should  be  more  scientifically 
practiced  by  the  mass  of  the  people 
than  it  now  is. 

There  has  been  much  comment  both 
in  this  country  and  in  Europe  on  Dr. 
Miller's  decision  to  leave  the  land 
where  so  much  of  his  life  has  been 
spent  and  where  he  had  done  the  work 
that  has  brought  to  him  so  many 
honors.  It  is  commonly  supposed 
that  it  was  his  great  love  for 
his  own  country,  and  the  natural  de- 
sire that  seems  to  come  to  all  men  to 
get  back  to  the  home  of  their  kinsfolk 
and  their  places  of  birth  that  led  him, 
in  spite  of  the  many  strong  induce- 
ments to  remain,  to  sever  his  relations 
with  Berlin  and  come  to  Ann  Arbor, 
where  the  work  and  environment 
would  be  new  and  problematic.  But 
Dr.  Miller  was  a  wise  man  and  he 
looked  into  the  future  farther  than 
most  of  us.  He  realized  that  there  is 
a  great  work  for  the  dental  profes- 
sion to  do  in  the  near  future,  and  that 
so  far  as  he  could  see  there  was  no 
adequate  preparation  being  made  to 
meet  the  demand  which  is  to  be  made 
for  men  who  are  competent  to  take 
up  this  work  and  do  it  scientifically. 
He  saw  that  at  Ann  Arbor  the  means 
and  material  could  be  had  for  the  de- 
velopment of  scientific  workers  such 
as  few  other  places  offered.  When 
called  to  accept  the  office  of  Dean  of 
the  Dental  Department  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  Michigan  he  made  his  ac- 
ceptance contingent  on  a  promise  that 
he  should  be  provided  with  suitable 
facilities  for  developing  this  line  of 
work.  This  the  Michigan  authorities 
gladly  agreed  to  do  and  the  new  build- 
ing is  now  under  way.  It  was  his 
idea  that  he  could  select  from  the  stu- 
dents passing  through  the  school  such 
men  as  he  might  be  able  to  influence, 
and  prepare  for  scientific  study  of  the 
various  dental  problems. 

He  was  greatly  interested   in   the 


advancement  of  the  dental  educational 
standards  and  he  hoped  to  be  able  to 
do  much  for  the  cause  of  higher 
standards  in  this  country  through  his 
connection  with  the  University  of 
Michigan.  He  believed  that  the  den- 
tal standards  should  be  as  high  as  the 
medical,  and  had  well  defined  plans 
as  to  how  this  could  be  accomplished. 
He  believed  in  the  education  of  den- 
tists as  such  and  had  little  sympathy 
with  the  idea  of  a  complete  medical 
education  as  a  foundation  for  the 
practice  of  dentistry.  At  the  same 
time  he  strongly  favored  maintaining 
the  instruction  in  the  medical  sciences 
so  far  as  they  had  a  value  in  equip- 
ping dentists  for  their  practice,  and 
for  this  reason  he  wanted  the  entrance 
requirements  for  a  dental  course 
course  brought  up  to  those  of  medi- 
cine. 

His  last  work  was  an  address  which 
he  prepared  for  the  annual  meeting 
of  the  International  Dental  Federa- 
tion, of  which  he  wa6  President.  In 
this  address  he  sets  forth  his  views 
of  this  important  question. 

This  brief  statement  of  the  life  and 
work  of  this  great  man  will  in  some 
measure  help  us  to  estimate  the  tre- 
mendous loss  we  have  sustained  in 
his  death,  at  a  time  when  he  could 
have  done  so  much  for  his  profession 
and  humanity.  If  his  life  shall  stimu- 
late others  to  take  up  the  work  with 
more  earnestness  we  shall  long  have 
the  benefit  of  his  influence  in  making 
our  profession  of  great  usefulness  to 
the  world. 

Those  who  knew  Dr.  Miller  inti- 
mately speak  fervently  of  his  good- 
ness of  heart.  He  was  naturally  a 
modest  man,  but  a  man  of  very  strong 
affection  and  was  devoted  to  his  fam- 
ily. He  was  an  active  supporter  of 
the  American  church  in  Berlin,  and 
gave  his  time  and  resources  to  it  in 
the  same  lavish  manner  with  which 
he  devoted  himself  to  his  scientific 
work.  He  lived  a  true  Christian  life, 
and  up  to  the  last  he  gave  evidence 
of  the  Christian  faith  and  a  firm  be-

and  lamentable. 

Dr.  Miller  leaves  a  widow  and  three

ATHLETICS 


THE  FOOTBALL  OUTLOOK  BRIGHT- 
GOOD  SCHEDULE  ARRANGED 

Oct.  5 — Case  School  at  Ann  Arbor. 

Oct.  12— M.  A.  C.  at  Ann  Arbor. 

Oct  19— Wabash  at  Indianapolis. 

Oct  26— O.  S.  U.  at  Ann  Arbor. 

Nov.  2 — ^Vanderbilt  at  Nashville. 

Nov.  9— Open  (at  Ann  Arbor). 

Nov.  16— Pennsylvania  at  Ann  Arbor. 

"Things  look  a  lot  better  than  they  did 
this  time  last  year,"  is  the  wav  Coach  Yost 
sums  up  the  football  outlook  for  the  season 
of  1907.  Ten  "M"  men  have  returned  to 
form  a  nucleus  for  this  year's  team — 
Magoffin,  captain  and  left  halfback;  Rum- 
ney,  halfback;  Loell,  fullback  and  end; 
Schulz,  center;  Rheinschild,  Davison,  and 
Harry  Hammond,  ends;  Graham,  Newton, 
and  Patrick,  guards — and  more  than  a 
score  of  class  team  players  of  the  first  rank 
have  joined  the  squad,  as  well  as  such  stars 
from  other  colleges  as  Joyce,  the  Notre 
Dame  lineman;  Wasmund,  of  Lafayette; 
Casey,  the  brilliant  end  of  the  1905  Iowa 
eleven,  and  Featherstone,  from  Obcrlin. 

The  problem  confronting  the  coach  this 
year  lies  in  the  development  of  a  new 
backfield,  and  especially  in  evolving  an  effi- 
cient quarterback  from  the  numerous  can- 
didates for  that  position.  But  one  thing 
is  certain  this  season :  there  will  be  no  lack 
of  material  for  either  line  or  backfield,  and 
already,  in  the  practices,  keen  competition 
for  places  justifies  a  feeling  of  optimism 
concerning  the  final  result  of  the  coach's 
work. 

The  choice  for  quarterback  seems  to  lie 
between  Wasmund  and  Miller  with  Sulli- 
van, captain  of  the  baseball  team,  a  possi- 
bili^.  So  far  the  first  named  pla3rer  seems 
to  ht  the  better  field  general,  and  if  a  good 
punter  can  be  found  for  the  backfield,  he 
will  probably  hold  the  position. 


Harry  Hammond  and  Allerdice,  whose 
punting  duels  have  been  the  feature  of  the 
practices,  would  both  be  valuable  additions 
to  the  team.  The  latter,  however,  is  un- 
available for  the  present,  having  received 
a  broken  nose  in  an  early  scrimmage. 
Rumney,  a  particularly  consistent  kicker 
and  a  good  half,  may  be  chosen  to  do  the 
punting. 

Jack  Loell,  the  versatile  linesman  who 
starred  at  end  last  year,  has  been  placed  at 
full.  Capt  Magoffin  will  be  used  for  one 
half  and  Rumney  or  Douglas  for  the  other. 

The  return  to  the  squad  of  two  of  Mich- 
igan's greatest  linesmen  of  the  last  few 
years,  Schulz,  "All-Western"  center  of 
1905,  and  Rheinschild,  tackle,  strengthens 
the  team  in  what  were  its  weakest  points 
last  year.  For  the  other  tackle  position 
Patrick  is  the  most  likely  looking  aspirant 

The  guards  will  be  picked  from  Embs, 
Joyce,  Graham  and  Flanagan.  The  two 
last  named  are  showing  up  best  in  practice. 

Davison,  Casey,'  Hammond,  Featherstone 
and  Douglas  are  fighting  hard  for  the  ends. 
Hammond  and  Casey,  due  to  their  previous 
experience,  are  generally  conceded  to  have 
the  best  chances. 

With  six  games  arranged  and  one  open 
Saturday,  Michigan's  schedule  for  1907, 
ending  with  a  climax  in  the  contest  with 
Pennsylvania  in  Ann  Arbor,  is  a  worthy 
one,  and  should  the  Wolverines  outplay 
each  opponent  their  claim  for  champion- 
ship recognition  cannot  go  unheeded. 

With  Case  as  a  curtain  raiser,  the  var- 
sity will  have  a  good  tryout,  for  last  year 
one  touchdown  was  all  that  was  scored 
against  the  Cleveland  team  the  first  half. 
This  year  the  Buckeyes  have  the  advantage 
of  an  entire  veteran  backfield,  a  heavy  line, 
and  a  good  coach— Joe  Fogg,  the  old  Wis- 
consin quarterback. 

While    little    trouble    is    expected    from

llichigan  Agricultural  College  on  October 
12,  Wabash  promises  a  hard  fight  a  week 
later.  Coach  Cayou  has  nine  veteran  men 
playing  the  same  positions  as  last  year,  and 
Michigan  will  have  to  play  good  football 
to  return  victorious  from  the  Indianapolis 
trip. 

After  meeting  the  Crawfordsville  eleven 
the  varsity  will  be  called  on  to  play  those 
two  plucky  foes,  Ohio  State  and  Vander- 
bilt,  coached  by  Hemstein  and  McGugin, 
two  former  Michigan  stars.  At  Columbus 
last  year  the  former  team  kept  Michigan 
from  crossing  its  goal  line,  and  the  last 
two  years  the  Southerners  have  won  the 
admiration  of  thousands  on  Perry  Field  by 
their  spirited  attack  and  gallant  defense  as 
victory  went  against  them  by  a  narrow 
margin.  This  year  when  Michigan  jour- 
neys into  the  South  to  try  to  wrest  a  game 
from  Vanderbilt  on  its  own  ground,  Ann 
Arbor  will  anxiously  look  for  triumph  in 
a  hard  fought  contest 

When  the  East  comes  to  meet  the  West 
on  Ferry  Field,  Nov.  16,  and  the  eyes  of 
a  nation  are  turned  on  the  contest,  the 
training  of  the  Michigan  team  will  receive 
a  worthy  test.  All  efforts,  during  the  en- 
tire season,  will  be  bent  toward  this  day, 
and  Michigan  will  go  on  the  gridiron  pre- 
pared to  make  a  supreme  struggle,  to  re- 
gain its  lost  prestige.  H.  J.  W. 


FERRY   FIELD   FINEST  GROUNDS  IN 
THE  COUNTRY 

Michigan's  claim  to  the  finest  athletic 
grounds  in  the  country  has  been  established 
by  the  improvements  made  on  Ferry  Field 
during  the  summer,  and  former  Michigan 
students  returning  to  Ann  Arbor  will  this 
year  be  able  to  see  one  of  the  largest  and 
most  beautiful  playgrounds  in  the  land. 

Director  Baird  and  an  army  of  work- 
men has  completed  the  heaviest  part  of  the 


work  of  developing  the  north  end  of  the 
field.  The  old  bleachers  from  the  farther 
end  of  the  field  have  been  moved  to  the 
south  side  of  the  new  varsity  gridiron, 
where,  resting  on  concrete  bases  they  join 
the  new  north  bleachers  and  surround  the 
football  field  on  three  sides.  This  will  pro- 
vide seats  for  nearly  18,000,  though  it  is 
thought  that '  the  attendance  at  the  Penn 
game  will  require  all  of  this.  However, 
the  east  end  of  the  gridiron  is  still  open 
for  the  erection  of  more  bleachers  should 
they  be  required. 

Immediately  south  of  the  big  football 
bleachers  has  been  built  the  new  baseball 
grandstand.  When  completed  this  stand 
will  be  a  handsome  covered  structure  reach- 
ing around  the  new  baseball  diamond  from 
third  base  to  a  point  beyond  the  home 
plate  in  the  form  of  the  arc  of  a  circle. 
Equipped  with  opera  chairs  the  building 
will  seat  over  1,800.  It  is  so  constructed 
that  the  lower  portion  can  be  used  for 
dressing  quarters  and  storage  rooms.  The 
stand  is  constructed  with  an  idea  of  dura- 
bility, timber  and  concrete  being  used 
throughout. 

In  the  old  south  field  top  soil  has  been 
put  in  place  of  the  old  quarter  mile  track 
and  straightaway,  the  covered  stand  paint- 
ed, and  the  field  arranged  for  class  games. 
Eleven  new  tennis  courts  have  been  con- 
structed along  the  west  fence,  from  a  bed 
of  valuable  clay  discovered  at  the  north- 
west corner  of  the  field.  These  make  a 
total  of  eighteen  courts  open  for  the  stu- 
dents* use. 

Brick,  concrete,  and  iron  have  supplant- 
ed the  wooden  gateway  at  the  south  end 
of  the  main  field,  the  style  of  the  new 
gate  being  similar  to  the  big  north  en- 
trances. With  the  grading  of  the  whole 
field  nearly  completed,  and  the  new  struc- 
tures ready  for  occupancy,  the  new  Ferry 
Field  now  stands  as  a  model  of  its  kind.

Buffalo,  N.  Y.,  Secretary. 

Ralph  W.  Gallup,  m'62-'63,  may  be  ad- 
dressed at  Pomona,  Calif. 

Elmore  Palmer,  '64m,  was  bom  at  Albion, 
Mich.,  Dec.  17,  1839.  He  came  of  sturdy 
puritan  stock,  being  the  eighth  in  line  of 
descent  from  Walter  Palmer,  the  Pilgrim 
of  Nottinghalhpshire.  England,  who  with 
his  wife  Rebecca,  joined  the  band  of  col- 
onists under  John  Winthrop  that  landed  at 
Boston  in  1629.  On  his  mother's  side  he 
traces  his  ancestry  back  to  the  Puritans, 
and  thus  he  prides  himself  on  being  a 
thoroughbred  American. 

He  passed  his  childhood  on  a  farm;  at- 
tended  the   common    district    school,    and 


when  fourteen  years  of  age  began  learning 
the  drug  business;  pharmacy  as  such,  be- 
ing comparatively  unknown  in  those  days. 
At  the  same  time  he  attended  school  at  the 
"Wesleyan  Seminary  and  Female  College," 
now  known  as  Albion  College. 

When  twenty  years  of  age  he  read  medi- 
cine in  the  office  of  Dr.  Frederick  Whee- 
lock  for  one  year,  and  then  entered  the 
medical  department  of  the  Unievrsity  of 
Michigan,  the  session  of  1861-2.  He  was 
Acting  Medical  Cadet,  U.  S.  A.,  in  Eck- 
ington  General  Hospital,  Washington,  D. 
C,  from  May  until  December  5,  1862,  on 
which  day,  after  having  passed  the  Board 
of  Medical  Examiners,  he  was  appointed 
Medical  Cadet,  U.  S.  A.,  and  placed  on 
duty  in  General  Hospital  No.  19,  Louis- 
ville, Ky.  He  served  in  this  hospital  until 
Aug.  10,  1863,  when  he  was  transferred  to 
General  Hospital  No.  7,  same  city,  where 
he  remained  until  his  term  of  service  ex- 
pired in  December,  1863.  He  immediately 
returned  to  the  University  of  Michigan; 
attended  his  second  course  of  medical  lec- 
tures and  was  graduated  with  the  medical 
class  of  1864. 

In  August  of  that  year  he  was  com- 
missioned as  Assistant  Surgeon  of  the  29th 
Mich.  Vol.  Inf.,  and  went  to  the  field.  In 
March,  1865,  he  was  made  Surgeon  of  the

regement  and  remained  with  it  until  its 
muster-out  of  service,  Sept.  6th,  1865. 

Since  the  close  of  the  Civil  War  he  has 
been  in  the  practice  of  his  profession  as 
follows:  13  years  in  Michigan,  2  years  in 
Illinois,  4  years  in  Colorado  and  the  last 
21  years  in  Buffalo,  N.  Y. 

In  May,  1877,  he  compiled  and  published 
a  catalog  of  the  Phaenogamous  and  Aero- 
genous  Plants  found  growing  wild  in  the 
State  of  Michigan.  This  Catalog  was  the 
result  of  many  years  of  observation,  study 
and  travel  throughout  the  state;  and  iden- 
tified and  established  many  species  of 
plants  which  had  previously  been  consid- 
ered as  not  belonging  to  the  Michigan  flora. 
In  1886  he  was  instrumental  in  organizing, 
and  is  a  charter  member  of  the  Western 
New  York  Medical  Society,  and  was  presi- 
dent of  the  same  in  1891. 

Wherever  the  doctor  has  lived  he  has 
been  deeply  interested  in  the  subject  of 
primary  schools;  and  has  taken  a  leading 
position  in  their  promotion. 

He  was  married  Nov.  25,  1864.  Four 
children  have  been  bom  unto  him,  all  of 
whom  have  ps^ed  away. 

Dr.  Palmer  is  a  Mason  of  the  33d  and 
last  degree;  also  a  charter  member  of  the 
first  "Scottish  Grand  Council  of  Rites" 
ever  organized  in  the  United  States  of 
America.  He  is  also  a  member  of  the  I.

NECROLOGY 


This  department  of  The  Alumnus  is  conducted  by  Professor  Demmon.  In  order  to  make  it  as 
complete  as  possible,  the  cooperation  of  subscribers  is  solicited.  Let  deaths  be  reported  promptly  as 
they  occur,  with  date  and  place.  Be  careful  to  distinguish  between  fact  and  rumor.  In  sending  news- 
paper clippings,  particular  care  should  be  used  to  distinguish  between  the  date  of  the  paper  and  the 
date  of  the  death  recorded.  Short  biographies  of  deceased  alumni  and  former  students  will  be  given 
space  when  sent  to  The  Alumnus. 

Departments  and  classes  are  distinguished  the  same  as  in  the  News  from  the  Classes  column  (see 
notice  thereunder)  and  elsewhere  in  the  magazine,  except  that  the  Department  of  Literature,  Science, 
and  the  Arts  is  distinguished  from  others  by  the  letter  a,   (arts).

New  England  stock.  He  came  to  Michi- 
gan with  his  parents  in  the  late  seventies, 
and  was  graduated  from  the  Law  Depart- 
ment of  the  University  in  1879.  He  went 
to  California  soon  after  his  graduation,  and 
resided  for  a  time  at  San  Jose  and  also  at 
Sacramento,  where  he  was  assistant  minute 
clerk  of  the  state  senate.  In  1881  he  went 
to  Pasadena,  where  he  opened  the  first  real 
csate  office  in  that  city  and  built  the  first 
opera  house.  Later  he  removed  to  Los  An- 
geles, where  he  was  the  head  of  a  successful 
real  estate  firm  until  eight  years  ago,  when 
he  entered  politics.  In  1902  he  was  elected 
county  assessor  and  opened  up  a  war 
against  corporation  tax  evaders,  who  tried 
to  prevent  his  reelection.  He  ran  again, 
however,  on  a  non-partisan  organization 
and  was  triumphantly  reelected.  He  was 
married  in  1891  to  Jennie  Dickinson  of 
Kansas  City,  who  survives  him,  together 
with  one  son  and  one  daughter,  and  a 
brother.  He  died  Aug.  23,  1907.  at  his 
home  in  Los  Angeles.

H RAVELING  salesmen,  who  cover  the  entire  state  of  Michigan, 
tell  us  that  without  question,  our  big  new  **  one  floor  "  printing 
plant  is  the  finest  of  its  size  in  the  whole  state.  We  did  not 
expect  in  four  short  years  to  build  up  the  largest  plant  in  Michi- 
gan, but  we  did  build  one  large  enough  to  house  all  the  other  job  print- 
ing offices  in  Ann  Arbor,  and  then  have  room  left.  This  is  said  with  no 
disrespect  to  any  of  our  competitors,  either.  People  have  found  out  that 
they  can  depend  on  getting 

FIRST  CLASS  WORK  AT  REASONABLE  PRICES 

at  our  place  of  business.     That  combined  with  courteous  treatment,  has

Michigan 
Calendar 

FOR  1908 

ONLY   25cts 


THIS  Annual  Souvenir  has  Just  been 
issued  from  the  press.  C5ritics  are 
unanimous  in  the  statement  that  it 
eclipses  all  former  efforts  in  Calendar  making 
for  alumni  and  students  of  the  University. 


Our  1907  Calendar  was  the  most  successful 
we  have  ever  published.  ^  The  original  edi- 
tion of  fifteen  hundred  copies  were  sold  long 
before  the  holiday  season.  An  extra  edition 
of  700  copies  was  ordered,  and  every  Calendar 
was  sold  before  Christmas  day. 

Three  Thousand  Copies  of  the  1908  Calendar  have  been  ordered*  The  price 
quoted  is  just  half  the  amount  ordinarily  asked  for  this  annual  publication. 

The  Michigan  Calendar  this  year  presents  the  twelve  months  of  the  year  on  six  separate 
plates,  each  plate  presenting  a  design  drawn  by  J.  H.  Meier,  an  artist  who  has  done  consider- 
able work  for  the  Michiganensian,  and  who  is  now  attending  the  Chicago  Art  Institute.  A 
panel  on  each  plate  contains  large  single  views  and  groups  of  the  Campus  printed  in  golden 
sepia.  This  plan  of  arrangement  is  a  great  improvement  over  former  years.  A  reproduction 
of  the  cover  is  presented  herewith. 

A  copy  of  the  1908  Calendar  will  be  sent,  neatly  boxed,  to  any  address  in  the  United  States 
for  Only  25  Cents*    Tostage  sc  extra. 

In  ordering  please  use  the  appended  coupon.     Address  all  orders  to

In  its  half  century  of  existence  this  school  has  sent  out 
nearly  Three  Thousand  Graduates.    Twenty  States  and  a 

HALF  DOZEN  FOREIGN  COUNTRIES  ARE  REPRESENTED  IN  ITS  ENROLL- 
MENT. 

In  September,  1907,  this  well  established  school  began  work 
in  a  new  building  costing  a  quarter  of  a  million  dollars. 

Its  laboratory  facilities  for  all  kinds  of  science  work  are  un- 
surpassed by  any  public  school  in  America.  Its  equipment  for  Com- 
mercial Work  is  equal  to  the  best,  and  its  provision  for  Physical 
Culture  is  superior  to  that  of  most  other  public  schools  in  the  country. 

The  old  time  thoroughness  in  the  Classics  and  other  Culture 
Studies  is  maintained. 

Rates  of  Tuition  are  lower  than  those  of  any  private  school  of 
equal  rank  in  America.

mathematics,  history,  English,  bookkeeping,  or  any  other  of  the  ordin- 
ary High  School  branches,  and  can  also  give  instruction  in  Shorthand 
and  Typewriting,  are  easily  able  to  command 

From  25  to  30  Per  Cent  Larger  Salaries 

than  they  could  without  preparation  to  teach  these  subjects.  The  teach- 
ers we  placed  in  High  Schools  for  the  present  year  averaged  as  follows: 

MEN  -  -  -  $97.50  per  Month 

WOMEN  -  -  -  $82.00  per  Month 

In  almost  every  case  these  salaries  are  to  be  increased  next  year. 
Without  an  exception,  every  University  and  Normal  student  who  took 
our  course  secured  a  good  position. 

Do  These  Facts  Interest  You  ?

let  us  tell  you  more  about  this  work.  This  school  is  the  only  one  in  the

Michigan  Alumnus 


Vol.  XIV 


NOVEMBER,  1907 


No.  128 


EVENT  AND  COMMENT 


At  the  October  meet- 
THBNBW  ing  of  the  Regents, 
DEAN  John      Oren      Reed, 

Professor  of  Physics 
m  the  University,  was  made  Dean  of 
the  Literary  Department  to  fill  the 
vacancy  caused  by  the  resignation  of 
Richard  Hudson,  who  has  held  that 
important  office  since  1897.  The  new 
incumbent  of  the  office  was  bom  at 
Newcastle,  Ind.,  Dec.  31,  1856,  and 
is  the  son  of  Jesse  Mellette  and 
Frances  (McAllister)  Reed.  His 
parents  who  were  both  of  Northern 
Scotch  descent  came  originally  from 
Virginia,  where  the  family  lived  for 
several  generations.  In  1878  he  was 
graduate  from  Spiceland  Academy, 
Ind.,  after  already  having  had  two 
winters'  experience  teaching  in  dis- 
trict schools.  The  following  fall  he 
entered  the  University  of  Michigan 
from  which  he  received  the  degree  of 
Ph.B.  in  1885.  During  the  year  1881- 
*S2,  however,  he  was  principal  of  the 
high  school  at  Newcastle,  Ind.  Im- 
mediately upon  his  graduation  at  the 
University  he  became  principal  of  the 
East  Saginaw  High  School,  a  posi- 
tion which  he  held  for  six  years,  and 
which  he  resigned  in  1891  to  take  up 
graduate  study  at  Harvard.  In  1892 
he  became  instructor  in  physics  at  the 
University,  from  which  position  he 
was  advanced  to  the  rank  of  Assist- 
ant Professor  in  1894  and  to  Junior 
Professor   in    1899.     He   was   made 


Professor  of  Physics  in  1905.  Dur- 
ing the  year  i896-'97  he  studied 
abroad,  and  received  the  degree  of 
Doctor  of  Philosophy  from  the  Uni- 
versity of  Jena.  He  has  always  been 
active  in  promoting  the  interests  of 
the  summer  school  at  the  University 
and  from  1904  to  1907  was  Dean  of 
the  Summer  Session.  He  is  a  Fellow 
of  the  American  Association  for  the 
Advancement  of  Science,  and  a  mem- 
ber of  the  American  Physical  Society. 
He  is  the  author  of  Elements  of  Phys- 
ics, published  in  1903  and  in  conjunc- 
tion with  Carl  E.  Guthe,  a  Manual  of 
Physical  Measurements  (in  1902).  He 
has  also  published  a  number  of  pap- 
ers in  technical  journals.  He  was 
married  July  8,  1896,  to  Mary  Mc- 
Neal  (B.L.  1885),  and  they  have  a 
daughter,  Esther.  A  picture  of  Dean 
Reed  will  be  found  opposite  page  44. 


As  was  to  be  expect- 
OF^THB^^        ed,  much  discussion, 
MIDDLE  BAST    profitless   and   other-

John  Corbin's  article  on  this  Univer-

have    little    to    say.      The  writer,    it 
must  be  acknowledged,  trod  no  hard- 
er upon  our  corns  than  he  did  upon 
those  of  other  colleges  dealt  with  in 
the  series,  his  own  Alma  Mater  in- 
cluded.   Indeed  we  have  him  to  thank

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[November 


for  some  very  complimentary  remarks, 
especially  about  our  future.  We  ag^ee 
on  this  point.  The  greatest  thing 
about  Michigan,  to  one  wto 
studies  her  from  an  intimate  point  of 
view,  is  the  glimpse  of  an  inspiring 
future  which  a  touch  of  second  sight 
gives  one.  C  Mr.  Corbin  however 
had  a  thesis  to  nail  upon  our  doors. 
He  had  it  in  his  hand  all  ready  when 
he  came.  Every  college  rose  or  fell 
according  to  what  we  cannot  but  feel 
was  a  preconceived  ideal,  a  British 
bias,  which  prevented  his  dealing  with 
entire  fairness.  Supplementing  his 
Harvard  undergraduate  course,  Mr. 
Corbin  spent  a  year  or  two  at  Ox- 
ford, and  the  charm  of  her  venerable 
quadrangles  and  the  time  worn  habits 
of  life,  which  were  a  part  of  them, 
entered  into  his  very  soul  so  that,  pa- 
triotic American,  he  immediately  had 
visions  of  a  similar  organization  of 
college  life  in  American  universities. 
From  good  observers,  however,  who 
have  had  at  least  as  much  experience 
with  Universities,British  and  Amer- 
ican, as  he,  we  have  it  that  such  a 
scheme  cannot  be — ^at  least  in  this 
University  of  the  "Middle  East;"  we 
let  others  more  properly  equipped 
speak  for  our  sister  Universities.  Dr. 
Van  Dyke  and  the  Board  of  Trustees, 
we  understand,  have  already  spoken 
for  Princeton.  C  Mr.  Corbin  spent 
a  week  investigating  Michigan,  and 
among  many  others  the  editor  of  The 
Alumnus  had  the  privilege  of  a  half 
hour's  chat.  In  this  interview,  it  must 
be  confessed,  Mr.  Corbin  learned 
comparatively  little  about  the  Univer- 
sity, but  the  writer  learned  much 
about  Mr.  Corbin's  residential  hall  or 
quadrangle  scheme,  which  is  so  well 
set  forth  in  all  his  articles.  The  dis- 
cussion centered  about  the  Union, 
which,  he  observed,  will  not  settle 
all  the  questions  that  many  hope  it 
will.  We  agreed  that  more  was  ex- 
pected of  our  one  poor  building  than 
it  could  possibly  accomplish,  but  nev- 


ertheless it  will  serve  to  illuminate 
our  ideal.  Mr.  Corbin  believed  that 
the  changes  which  were  desirable  in 
the  social  life  of  the  students  should 
be  from  the  very  foundation  up,  and 
therefore,  as  a  corollary,  an  undertak- 
ing, such  as  the  Union,  erected  in  his 
view,  upon  the  superstructure  of  our 
undergraduate  social  system,  could 
not  be  as  adequate  as  some  means  of 
dealing  with  the  matter  which  would 
affect  the  very  foundation  of  student 
society.  C  He  advocated,  therefore, 
a  system  of  smaller  residential  quad- 
rangles or  dormitories,  each  of  which 
would  correspond  in  its  self-centering 
life  to  the  various  colleges  at  Oxford, 
and  upon  which  the  University  might 
be  built.  It  was  in  many  respects  the 
same  idea,  which  has  been  advocated 
by  President  Wilson  of  Princeton, 
after  his  success  in  inaugurating  the 
preceptorial  system,  borrowed  alike 
in  part  from  our  British  friends.  This 
has  been  Mr.  Corbin's  solution  of  the 
problem  of  our  great,  and  it  must  be 
confessed  in  many  cases  unwieldy, 
student  democracies  in  American 
universities.  He  believes  in  splitting 
the  undergraduate  body  into  units  and 
upon  these  as  foundations  to  build  the 
university,  with  the  Union,  as  its  name 
implies,  a  gathering  and  distributing 
influence  near  the  apex  of  the  pyra- 
mid. 


As  far  as  it  has  con- 
1^rtI7ents     cerned  Michigan,  the 
SOON  TO  COMB  ^^ter    discussion    oi 
this    residential    hall 
scheme  seems  to  The  Alumnus  to 
have  shot  wide  of  the  mark.    To  any- 
one acquainted  with  the  present  or- 
ganization and  resources  of  our  Uni- 
versity, it  will  appear  that  however 
rosy  the  possibilities  may  seem  to  a 
writer    with    a    week's    acquaintance 
with  Michigan,  the  scheme  as  advo- 
cated   is    impossible.      Any    radical 
change  of  the  sort  would  inevitably

have  to  be  of  slow  growth  to  be  ef- 
fective. It  could  not  be  superimposed 
upon  an  American  student  body  and 
be  acceptable  without  many  results, 
which  it  would  be  impossible  to  fore- 
see clearly,  and  which  might  well  be 
disastrous, — at  least  as  far  as  the  pos- 
sibilities of  this  scheme  as  a  panacea 
are  considered.  If  it  could  not  be  suc- 
cessful at  Princeton,  it  certainly  would 
never  sucteed  at  Michigan  where  con- 
ditions are  even  less  favorable.  C  But 
the  crux  of  the  question,  after  all, 
seems  to  have  gone  unnoted.  Dormi- 
tories, or  at  least  apartment  houses, 
for  students  are  coming  inevitably. 
The  system  now  in  vogue  sufficed 
perhaps  in  more  primitive  times,  but 
now  it  is  becoming  more  and  more 
inadequate  each  year.  One  may  ven- 
ture to  predict  that  the  breaking  point 
has  almost  been  reached  and  that  the 
erection  of  one  student  apartment 
house,  or  private  dormitory,  by  some 
discerning  capitalist  will  open  a  new 
era.  This,  decidedly,  will  oflfer  new 
problems  for  the  University  authori- 
ties to  settle.  In  college  as  elsewhere 
the  standard  of  living  is  increasing. 
Students  are  spending  more  money 
every  year,  and  the  whole  undergrad- 
uate body  is  in  far  more  comfortable 
circumstances  than  it  was  even  ten 
years  ago.  Students  are  coming  to 
demand  better  accommodations,  and 
once  this  demand  is  understood  it  will 
be  met.  We  believe  firmly  that  the 
time  is  not  far  off. 


There  is  a  charm  in 
WHAT  WB  MiGHTthe  possibility  of  res- 
DO  ABOUT  IT  idential  halls  or  quad- 
rangles at  Michigan 
that  makes  the  whole  question  a  pleas- 
ant one  for  consideration.  It  is  en- 
tirely conceivable  that  dormitories  or 
residential  halls  or  college  quads — 
whatever  one  may  choose  to  call  them, 
might  be  so  run  as  to  answer  many 
of  our  students'  needs   for   a  more 


closely  knit  coherent  society,  and  not 
depart  from  our  necessary  and  es- 
sential democracy.  C  These  residen- 
tial halls,  as  we  have  said  before,  if 
not  erected  by  the  University,  will  be 
erected  by  private  capital.  Their  at- 
tractiveness as  a  business  venture,  if 
nothing  else,  will  bring  them.  They 
need  not  be  expensive,  suites  of  two 
or  three  rooms  might  rent  at  from  $5 
to  $8,  and  furnish  attractive  returns 
on  the  investment.  Time  was,  when 
the  fraternities  had  rather  a  monopo- 
ly on  the  men  who  were  able  to  pay 
for  good  rooms,  but  that  time  is  rap- 
idly passing.  The  price  of  both  board 
and  room  has  risen  within  the  last  few 
years,  so  that  these  prices  are  not  ex- 
cessive. C  Sooner  or  later  somebody 
is  bound  to  be  attracted  by  this  op- 
portunity. Why  not  the  University? 
There  is  no  reason  really,  which  would 
prevent  the  University  from  promot- 
ing what  we  cannot  but  feel  might  be 
a  most  attractive  and  profitable  field 
through  a  proper  use  of  some  of  the 
large  sums  which  are  now  being  in- 
vested in  real  estate  and  property  else- 
where. C  Then,  in  a  small  way,  we 
might  be  able  to  inaugurate  some  such 
scheme  as  that  proposed  by  Mr.  Cor- 
bin.  But  there  will  be  no  sudden 
upheaval  such  as  the  arbitrary  es- 
tablishment of  such  a  plan  might 
create,  and  old  institutions  will 
not  be  replaced  by  a  new  and  un- 
tried experiment  at  an  enormous  cost. 
It  will  be  a  growth.  A  definite  plan 
for  future  extension  may  be  pre- 
pared, and  no  more  than  one  or  two 
residential  halls  may  be  built  at  first; 
others  will  come  as  they  are  definitely 
called  forth.  Meanwhile,  if  they  are 
properly  organized  and  conducted, 
and  we  acknowledge  frankly  that  it 
will  take  a  wise  and  cool  head  to  set 
under  way  even  this  rather  tentative 
scheme,  there  need  be  no  fears  of  a 
student  aristocracy  on  the  one  hand, 
nor  of  disintegration  on  the  other. 
We    reiterate;    residential    halls    or

quads,  are  bound  to  come  in  the  course 
of  events,  and  the  University  should 
be  first  to  sense  this  fact  and  to  ap- 
propriate whatever  it  may  find  in  it 
of  advantage  for  itself. 


It  is  no  longer  news

OF  CONTROL  .         ^    ^t.   -      r\  ^

ber meeting  arranged 
for  the  interment  of  the  present  Board 
in  Control  of  Athletics,  the  obsequies 
to  be  performed  between  November 
30th  and  December  ist  of  this  year. 
The  text  of  the  resolution  as  passed 
by  the  Board  follows: 

Resolved,  That  the  Board  of  Regents 
create  a  Board  of  Control  of  Athletics,  the 
scope  and  duties  of  said  board  to  be  after- 
wards defined. 

That  this  board  of  control  be  composed 
of  eight  members  as  follows:  That  the 
Professor  of  Physical  Culture  and  director 
of  Waterman  gymnasium  be  a  member; 
that  four  Facultj^  members  be  elected,  one 
from  each  of  the  following  faculties:  Lit- 
erary Department  Law  Department,  and 
Engineering  Department,  and  one  from  the 
Medical  Department,  Homceopathic  medical 
school,  Dental  Department  and  Pharmacy 
Department  jointly;  that  one  graduate 
member  be  elected  by  the  directors  of . 
Alumni  Association  and  two  undergrad- 
uates be  elected  by  the  athletic  board. 
.  That  this  board  be  organized  by  Dec  i, 
next  and  each  June  thereafter.

C  This  action  results  from  the  evident 
conclusion  on  the  part  of  the  Board  of 
Regents  that  the  present  board  was 
not  properly  constituted  to  accomplish 
the  best  good  for  the  University.  The 
present  board  was  organized  by  the 
Senate  of  the  University  to  deal  with 
one  of  the  most  troublesome  questions 
in  the  whole  field  of  University  ad- 
mimWation ;  the  proper  relation  be- 
tween college  athletics  and  the  main 
business  of  the  University.  It  seems 
to  have  been  thought  that  these  were 
proper  questions  for  solution  by  the 
Senate    of   the    University;    whether 


students  should  be  required  to  show 
proficiency  in  their  classroom  work, 
and  what  degree  of  proficiency  should 
be  required,  before  being  allowed  to 
compete  in  intercollegiate  contests; 
whether  there  should  be  a  limit  upon 
the  time  given  by  the  students  to  pre- 
paration for  and  participation  in  in- 
tercollegiate contests  and  if  so  what 
that  limit  should  be  placed,  and  in 
general,  what  rules  were  appropriate 
to  preserve  a  proper  balance  between 
the  time  and  interest  of  the  student 
to  be  given  to  his  academic  and  to  his 
athletic  work,  respectively,  and  what 
rules  were  necessary  to  keep  athletics 
pure.  C  This  idea,  that  the  question 
of  the  proper  balance  between  the 
academic  and  the  athletic  interests 
most  appropriately  was  one  for  that 
body  directly  responsible  for  the  char- 
acter of  the  students  academic  attain- 
tnent,  led  to  the  constitution  of  the 
Board  in  Control,  with  a  majority  of 
members  chosen  by  and  from  this 
body  so  responsible,  directly  responsi- 
ble to  the  Senate  of  the  University. 
It  is  not  yet  entirely  clear  however, 
just  what  is  to  be  the  condition  when 
the  new  Board  shall  be  constituted. 


CONTROL  BY  The  Constitution  of 
FACULTY  OR  this  ncw  Board  has 
CONTROL  BY  not  been  promulgated 
THE  REGENTS  y^t  and  what  it 
will  be  is  therefore  more  or  less  a 
matter  of  conjecture.  In  view  of  the 
fact  that  it  is  understood  that  the 
Board  of  Regents  were  informed  that 
Mr.  Fitzpatrick  would  in  all  probabil- 
ity be  put  on  the  Board  by  the  Senate 
at  its  next  meeting,  it  may  not  be  un- 
fair to  assume  that  this  reorganiza- 
tion was  not  primarily  for  the  purpose 
of  getting  him  on  the  Board,  and 
again,  in  view  of  the  further  fact  that 
the  plan  for  the  selection  of  the  mem- 
bers of  the  new  Board  leaves  it  possi- 
ble for  it  to  be  made  up  of  five  aca- 
demic Faculty  men  and  three  others, 
or  six  Faculty  men  and  two  students,

EVENT  AND  COMMENT 


41 


(Mr.  Fitzpatrick  being  a  member  of 
the  Faculty)  it  is  quite  clear  that  the 
object  of  the  Board  of  Regents  was 
not  to  prevent  academic  men  from 
dominating  the  new  Board.  C  The 
reason  for  the  action  taken  would 
therefore  seem  to  be  found  only  in 
the  idea  that  it  was  the  best  Univer- 
sity policy  that  the  Board  in  Control 
of  Athletics  should  answer  directly 
to  the  Board  of  Regents  rather  than 
to  the  Senate  of  the  University;  that 
there  should  be  control  by  the  Re- 
gents, as  distinguished  from  control 
by  the  Faculty,  of  athletics;  that  the 
Senate  of  the  University  should  not 
be  permitted  to  determine  questions 
of  athletic  policy.  This  raises  a  ques- 
tion we  do  not  purpose  now  to  dis- 
cuss, as  to  whether  matters  of  this  sort 
concerning  the  internal  administration 
of  the  University  are  more  properly 
to  be  left  in  the  hands  of  the  Faculties 
or  in  the  hands  of  the  general  Gov- 
erning Board.  The  Alumnus  how- 
ever will  be  glad  to  open  its  columns 
for  a  discussion  of  this  most  interest- 
ing and  important  question.  C  As  to 
the  eflfect  of  the  action  upon  the  char- 
acter of  our  athletics  it  of  course  is 
too  soon  to  speak  with  certainty.  A 
Board  constituted  under  this  action  of 
the  Regents,  we  would  expect  to  pos- 
sess a  good  measure  of  conservatism. 
It  is  known  that  at  one  time  the  Re- 
gents were  quite  favorable  to  with- 
drawal from  the  Conference,  and  it 
might  be  expected  possibly  that  their 
Board  would  take  this  step.  This,  un- 
der the  rules  of  the  Conference,  would 
prevent  contests  with  Conference 
teams,  certainly  so,  except  they  were 
played  under  Conference  rules.  This 
would  mean  no  games  with  such 
teams,  since  there  would  be  no  par- 
ticular reason  for  our  putting  our- 
selves in  a  position  which  would  re- 
quire us  to  play  under  rules  we  have 
no  voice  in  making.  There  is  also 
good  reason  for  thinking  that  Faculty 
control  rather  than  control  by  the  Re- 
gents is  deemed  so  important  by  some 


of  the  most  influential  of  the  Confer- 
ence Colleges,  that  the  action  taken 
will  in  itself  operate  to  prevent  inter- 
collegiate athletic  contests  with  them. 


Without    doubt,    the 

NOVEMBER  16  history  of  Michigan  s 
athletics  will  attend 
the  great  game,  Nov.  i6.  If  the  week 
happens  to  be  a  pleasant  one,  the  at- 
tendance promises  to  be  almost  be- 
yond the  limits  of  the  present  exten- 
sive accommodations  at  Ferry  Field. 
Special  trains  are  to  run  from  many 
local  points  in  Michigan;  the  Mich- 
igan Central  will  run  excursions  from 
Grand  Rapids,  Kalamazoo,  Three 
Rivers,  and  intermediate  points,  and 
Detroit;  the  Ann  Arbor  Railroad 
from  Toledo  on  the  south,  and  Mt. 
Pleasant  on  the  north,  and  intermed- 
iate points ;  and  the  Grand  Trunk  and 
Pere  Marquette  will  run  excursions 
to  connecting  points.  On  all  these, 
the  rates  will  be  one  cent  a  mile.  A 
special  train  is  also  planned  from  Chi- 
cago, for  which  the  purchase  of  a 
minimum  of  two  hundred  tickets  has 
been  guaranteed.  Many  of  these 
trains  will  go  directly  to  the  grounds. 
C  At  Ferry  Field  ample  arrange- 
ments have  been  made  by  the  Ath- 
letic Association  for  selling  tickets 
and  for  handling  the  immense  crowd 
that  is  to  attend  the  game.  As  is 
probably  well  known,  the  Athletic 
Field  is  now  a  quarter  of  a  mile  near- 
er the  University  than  at  the  time  the 
last  big  game  was  held  in  Ann  Arbor. 
Immense  bleachers  have  been  erected 
down  both  sides  of  the  big  field  and 
on  the  west  end  a  semi-circuiar  stand 
has  been  erected  completing  an  im- 
mense stadium.  If  the  estimated  at- 
tendance warrants  it,  standing  room 
will  also  be  built  at  the  opposite  end, 
completing  the  entire  circuit  of  the 
gridiron.  This  will  enable  the  Ath- 
letic Association  to  accommodate  easi- 
ly an  attendance  of  24,000.    The  sev-

eral  entrances  in  the  new  gateway  to 
Ferry  Field,  as  well  as  the  entrance  at 
the  west  end  for  those  who  attend  by 
train,  will  furnish  ample  means  of  in- 
gress and  egress. 


Careful    preparations 

FOR^ALB^^**^^ '^^^^  *'^^  ^^^  made 
OF  TICKETS  f^r  selling  tickets. 
Those  who  wish  tick- 
ets in  advance  should  write  to  Gradu- 
ate Director  Charles  Baird,  Ann  Ar- 
bor, Mich.;  all  applications,  however, 
should  be  received  on  or  before  Nov. 
12.  In  this  way,  ample  provision  will 
be  made  for  everybody,  alumni,  stu- 
dents, and  friends  of  the  University. 
Different  sections  have  been  reserved 
for  the  various  bodies,  and  the  seats 
in  each  section  will  be  reserved  at  dif- 
ferent dates.  On  Nov.  5,  at  8  A.  M., 
the  tickets  for  men  undergraduates 
and  Faculty  members  of  the  Athletic 
Association,  at  fifty  cents  will  be  sold 
from  the  Athletic  Association  office. 
Each  member  of  the  Association  may 
purchase  but  one  seat  in  this  section, 
for  which  a  membership  ticket  must 
be  shown.  The  following  day  there 
will  be  a  general  sale  of  reduced  price 
tickets  to  members  of  the  University 
as  well  as  a  sale  of  all  other  tickets 
to  the  general  public.  Only  one  re- 
duced price  ticket  will  be  sold  to  any 
member  of  the  University  and  no  per- 
son will  be  allowed  to  purchase  more 
than  six  $2.00  tickets.  On  the  following 
day  there  will  be  a  sale  to  ladies  and 
to  members  of  ^he  Faculty  only,  for 
which  a  special  block  of  seats  will  be 
reserved  in  the  reduced  price  section. 
Inasmuch  as  there  will  be  plenty  of 
good  seats  for  everyone,  it  is  adver- 
tised that  anyone  found  in  line  before 
7:30  A.  M.  on  the  date  of  sale  will 
lose  his  turn  and  will  go  to  the  foot 
of  the  line,  which  will  form  between 
7 :30  and  8  :oo  on  the  date  of  the  sale. 
C  Owing  to  the  trouble  which  the 
University  has  had  in  times  past  with 
persons  who  tried  to  sell  tickets  to 


the  games  at  advanced  prices,  a  law 
has  been  passed  by  the  state  legisla- 
ture, largely  through  the'  efforts  of 
Mr.  Baird,  making  the  speculation  in 
these  tickets  or  misuse  of  students' 
reduced  price  tickets  a  violation  of  the 
state  law.  The  Association  promises 
that  any  person  found  violating  the 
act  will  be  prosecuted  to  the  full  ex- 
tent. Student  sentiment  on  this  mat- 
ter is  also  very  strong  and  it  is  very 
unlikely  that  there  will  be  any  serious 
trouble  over  this  question. 


In  accordance  with 
THE '67  the     action     of     the 

MEMORIAL     Class    of    '67,    taken 

at  its  fortieth  reun- 
ion, last  June,  the  large  boulder  which 
has  always  been  known  as  the  '67 
stone,  has  been  mounted  on  a  cubicsJ 
granite  base  and  has  been  set  up  near 
the  Haven  Elm.  This  elm  stands  near 
the  southwest  comer  of  the  south 
wing  of  University  Hall,  and  the 
the  boulder  is  to  mark  the  spot. 
The  granite  base,  a  block  about  three 
and  one  half  feet  square,  rests  upon 
a  concrete  foundation  that  extends  in 
turn  five  feet  into  the  ground.  Upon 
the  south  side  of  the  block  is  the  in- 
scription "Class  of  1867,"  and  upon 
the  north  side,  "Haven  Elm."  C  The 
rock  was  brought  to  the  University 
by  '67  during  its  senior  year.  In  those 
days  a  "senior  vacation"  of  four 
weeks  was  given  at  the  end  of  the  last 
year,  in  order  to  allow  the  seniors  time 
to  prepare  their  graduating  speeches 
and  complete  unfinished  work.  Dur- 
ing this  vacation  in  1867  a  majority 
of  the  class  accompanied  Professor 
Alexander  Winchell  to  the  north 
shore  of  Lake  Superior  on  a  geologi- 
cal excursion.  A  large  amount  of  ma- 
terial was  collected,  and  among  other 
things  was  this  stone.  For  the  past 
forty  years  it  has  occupied  different 
positions  about  the  Campus,  but  it 
has  always  been  claimed  with  pride 
by  the  Class  of  1867  as  theirs,  and  at

EVENT  AND  COMMENT 


43 


the  last  reunion  the  secretary,  Jabez 
Montgomery,  of  the  Ann  Arbor  High 
School,  was  authorized  to  secure  a 
base  and  have  the  work  completed 
as  soon  as  sufficient  funds  could  be 
secured.  The  Haven  Elm  was  so  des- 
ignated in  1900.  Dr.  Haven  began  his 
work  in  the  fall  of  1863,  the  freshman 
year  of  this  class,  and  it  was  the  de- 
sire to  commemorate  his  life  and  work 
that  prompted  '67  to  take  this  action. 
The  action  of  this  class  rather  empha- 
sizes the  paucity  of  such  memorials 
about  our  campus,  and  suggests  the 
desirability  of  similar  action  on  the 
part  of  other  classes. 


RUSHING 


Periods  of  readjust- 
ment are  almost  al- 
ways unpleasant.  We 
all  like  to  have  a 
smoothly  running  groove  somewhere 
into  which  we  can  slide  and  let  the 
course  of  events  trundle  us  along — 
when  we  so  desire.  Every  year  the 
opening  week  of  college  furnishes  a 
specially  troublous  time, — for  the  fra- 
ternity men  especially.  To  the  ordi- 
nary hurly-burly  of  opening  week, 
the  fraternity  man  adds  a  compounded 
confusion,  the  necessity  of  finding  the 
right  man  to  fill  one  of  the  ten  or 
dozen  right  places,  that  exist  in  every 
fraternity  and  need  filling  from  finan- 
cial as  well  as  sentimental  reasons. 
C  Older  heads  are  prone  to  belittle 
the  seriousness  of  this  matter,  and  to 
think  that  the  choices  of  the  various 
fraternities  are  far  more  apt  to  be  the 
result  of  chance  than  any  definite  pol- 
icy. Quite  the  contrary.  To  the  un- 
dergraduate it  is  a  tremendously  ser- 
k)us  matter, — ^this  picking  out  com- 
rades for  one's  future  college  years, 
and  even  more  important,  one's  fu- 
ture friends  as  a  graduate.  Like  the 
Chinaman,  all  freshmen  may  look 
alike  or  at  least  be  equally  "fresh"  to 
the  older  graduate,  but  there  are  dif- 
ferences nevertheless,  which  compli- 
cate the  selective  process.  We  are  well 


aware  that  the  system  is  often  criti- 
cised, and  the  annual  recurrence  of 
the  season  cannot  help  but  impress 
upon  anyone  interested  in  college  life 
the  seriousness  of  the  whole  problem 
involved.  C  It  is  easy  to  say  with 
many  critics  that  the  system  is  all 
wrong  and  we  need  a  better  one,  such 
as  that  prevailing  in  some  universities 
which  prevents  a  student  joining  any 
fraternity  his  first  year.  We  have 
watched  these  different  schemes  in 
other  colleges,  but  with  due  respect, 
we  fear  that  they  haven't  solved  the 
question  for  us  at  Michigan.  Defects 
in  our  system  are  obvious,  and  may 
be  comprised  in  one  or  two  phrases; 
the  feverish  haste  with  which  the 
pledging  is  accomplished  which  pre- 
vents both  parties  from  really  finding 
out  what  they  want,  and  the  genend 
nervous  tension  produced,  which  mars 
the  effectiveness  of  the  first  two  weeks 
of  college  work.  CThese  objections 
are  real  and  may  be  enlarged  upon 
justly,  but  we  intend  here  to  present 
the  other  side,  because  we  believe  that 
the  system  is  not  entirely  wrong 
From  another  point  of  view  its  very 
defects  are  advantageous.  Under  the 
present  fraternity  organization  in  Ann 
Arbor,  it  is  very  necessary  that  the 
fraternity  houses  be  filled  at  the  first 
of  the  year  before  the  freshmen  have 
made  definite  engagement  for  rooms 
elsewhere.  Otherwise  the  financial 
side  of  the  matter  comes  home  to  the 
Ann  Arbor  landladies  with  as  great 
force  as  it  does  to  the  fraternities.  If 
we  are  to  have  fraternities,  and  if  fra- 
ternities are  to  serve  as  small  dormi- 
tories, the  accommodations  which  they 
offer  must  be  put  to  use.  Hence  one 
effective  reason  for  the  feverish  first 
week.  As  it  is  now,  the  question  is 
settled  early  in  the  year,  once  for  all, 
and  the  strain  of  the  "rushing"  period 
does  not  permeate  the  whole  year's 
work.  And  as  a  whole  the  balance 
turns  out  with  wonderful  accuracy  in 
the  choice  of  men,  and  comparatively 
few  serious  mistakes  are  made.     In

return  the  fraternities  are  able  to  set- 
tle down  to  routine  work  within  a 
comparatively  short  time,  with  their 
quota  completed,  and  with  a  conse- 
quent ease  of  mind  which  compensates 
in  some  measure  for  the  previous  un- 
rest. The  system  is  not  perfect,  by 
any  means,  but  in  default  of  any  feas- 
ible method  of  improvement,  under 
present  conditions,  it  is  well  to  take 
note  of  its  advantages. 


THE  TREASURER'S  REPORT 
The  annual  report  of  the  Treasurer 
of  the  University  was  presented  to  the 
Regents  at  their  September  meeting 
and  incorporated  in  the  official  report 
of  that  meeting.  It  shows  only  the 
funds  in  the  hands  of  the  Treasurer, 
but  not  the  funds  in  the  hands  of  the 
State  Treasurer  at  Lansing.  This  re- 
port shows  that  the  general,  special 
and  building  funds,  in  addition  to  the 
balance  of  $85,652.29,  was  divided  as 
follows : 

J4  Mill  Tax,  Gen.  Fund $342,920.00 

University  interest 38,524.59 

Special  appropriation  9,ooaoo 

Building  fund  44,375.00 

General  fund  396,070.82 

While  the  disbursements,  including 
the  amounts  turned  over  to  the  Gen- 
eral fund,  special  appropriation,  and 
building  fund,  leave  a  balance  of  $72,- 
830.15.  A  detailed  statement  of  the 
disbursements  of  the  general  fund  fol- 
lows in  the  report.  In  the  special  and 
building  funds,  the  summary  of  the 
balances,  June  30,  1907,  shows  a  bal- 
ance on  hand  of  $12,328.67. 

In  the  portion  of  the  report  devoted 
to  the  gift  and  trust  funds,  the  addi- 
tions amount  to  $24,506.54.  The  in- 
terest, rentals,  etc.,  yielding  in  addi- 
tion $20,265.76.  These  amounts,  add- 
ed to  the  total  of  the  previous  year, 
or  $329,312.09,  amount  to  the  total  of 
$37,408.39.  From  these  funds  $20,- 
423.29  were  expended.  The  balance, 
or  $353,661.10,  is  invested  in  various 
ways.     The  Williams   Professorship 


fund  is  in  the  hands  of  George  S. 
Field  of  Detroit  for  management,  and 
shows  that  on  June  15,  1907,  the  cash 
on  hand  amounted  to  $960.24,  the  bal- 
ance being  distributed  as  follows: 

Real  estate  and  mortgages $14,125.00 

Land   contracts    200.00 

Real  estate  1,506.58 

Total  $16791.92 

This  shows  an  increase  of  $919.94 
over  the  total  amount  of  the  fund  at 
the  same  time  last  year.  The  Walter 
Crane  Fund,  in  the  hands  of  the  same 
person  for  management,  shows  the 
sum  of  $23,982.97  available  in  the 
fund. 

THE  SENATE  COUNCIL 
With  the  exception  of  the  Board  of 
Regents  and  the  President,  the  Uni- 
versity Senate  has,  vested  in  itself,  in 
all  questions  pertaining  to  the  welfare 
and  policy  of  the  University  the  high- 
est legislative  and  administrative  pow- 
ers. In  theory,  at  least,  this  is  true. 
In  practice,  this  body  has  proved  rath- 
er unwieldy  and,  with  sufficient  ex- 
cuse, a  little  too  discursive  for  actual 
business.  Therefore,  in  the  past,  it 
has  convened  but  semi-occasionally,  to 
listen  to  memorials  upon  the  death  of 
various  members  of  its  body,  and  to 
reports  from  the  Board  in  Control  of 
Athletics  and  the  Board  in  Control  of 
Non-Athletic  organizations.  With  the 
exception  of  the  actions  taken  upon 
the  recommendations  of  these  two 
bodies,  it  has  undertaken  little  in  the 
way  of  original  and  aggressive  legis- 
lation. Yet  the  possibilities,  and  duties 
even,  of  this  body  as  the  proper  vehi- 
cle for  the  initiation  and  direction  of 
many  of  the  most  significant  policies 
of  the  University,  render  it  highly 
desirable  that  some  method  be  de- 
vised to  make  it  a  more  effective  in- 
strument for  the  University's  good. 
With  the  evident  realization  of  this 
fact,  the  following  motion  was  made 
at  a  meeting  of  the  Senate,  held  May 
21,  1906,  which  was  offered  by  Pro-

THE  SENATE  COUNCIL

fessor  Williams  of  the  Engineering 
Department : 

Resolved,  That  a  committee,  consisting 
of  the  Deans  of  the  several  constituent 
Faculties  with  one  additional  member  each 
from  the  Literary,  Law,  Medical,  and  En- 
gineering Departments,  to  be  selected  by 
their  respective  Faculties,  which  Commit- 
tee shall  select  its  own  Chairman,  be  and 
is  hereby  created  and  instructed  to  con- 
sider and  report  at  the  earliest  practicable 
date,  a  plan  for  developing  in  this  body, 
that  influence  and  responsibility  which  the 
future  prosperity  of  the  University  of  Mich- 
igan demands  shall  be  reposed  in  this  Uni- 
versity Senate. 

In  the  official  minutes  of  the  Sen- 
ate for  the  meeting  held  June  4,  1906, 
a  report  was  presented  announcing 
that  in  accordance  with  the  motion 
passed  at  the  previous  meeting,  the 
Enginering,  Law,  and  Medical  De- 
partments had  completed  their  re- 
spective membership  of  the  committee 
by  the  election  thereto  of  Gardner  S. 
Williams,  Professor  of  Civil  Hy- 
draulic and  Sanitary  Engineering; 
Robert  E.  Bunker,  Professor  of  Law, 
and  J.  Playfair  McMurrich,  Profes- 
sor of  Anatomy. 

This  committee,  of  which  Dean 
Richard  Hudson  of  the  Literary  De- 
partment, was  Chairman  and  Profes- 
sor Gardner  S.  Williams  Secretary, 
reported  at  a  meeting  of  the  Senate 
held  June  4,  1907,  recommending  the 
following  resolutions,  which  were 
adq)ted : 

Resohed,  That  a  Senate  Council  be 
created  for  the  purpose  of  considering  all 
matters  which  concern  the  University  as  a 
whole. 

Resolved,  That  the  Senate  Council  shall 
consist  of  the  President  of  the  University, 
who  shall  be  Chairman,  and  the  Deans  of 
the  several  constituent  faculties  of  the  Uni- 
versity Senate,  together  with  one  addition- 
al representative  from  each  of  the  profes- 
sional Departments,  and  two  additional  rep- 
resentatives from  the  Department  of  Lit- 
erature, Science,  and  the  Arts,  which  ad- 
ditional representatives  shall  be  elected  by 
their  respective  faculties  to  serve  for  one 
year  or  until  a  successor  be  chosen. 

Resolved,  That  it  be  a  function  of  the 
Senate  Council  to  consider  matters  apper- 
taining to  the  general  welfare  of  the  Uni- 


versity, and  to  report  upon  the  same  to  the 
University  Senate. 

That  It  be  a  function  of  the  Senate 
Council  to  communicate  to  the  Board  of 
Regents,  through  the  President,  the  action 
of  the  University  Senate  in  matters  passed 
upon  by  that  body,  and  the  action  of  the 
Council  itself  in  matters  that  may  be  re- 
ferred to  it  with  power. 

That  it  be  a  function  of  the  Senate 
Council  to  act  for  the  University  Senate 
in  matters  requiring  action  during  vacation 
periods. 

That  it  be  a .  function  of  the  Senate 
Council  to  adopt  such  rules  and  regulations 
for  the  transaction  of  its  business  as  it  may 
deem  desirable,  and  to  elect  from  among 
its  members  a  Secretary  to  hold  oflfice  for 
one  year,  whose  duty  it  shall  be  to  call 
meetings  of  the  Senate  Council  at  the  di- 
rection of  the  Chairman,  or  at  the  request 
of  the  Deans  of  two  Departments,  or  of 
three  members  of  the  Council,  or  upon  the 
written  request  of  five  members  of  the 
University  Senate. 

That  the  Senate  Council  be  empowered 
to  call  upon  the  members  of  the  University 
Senate  for  such  service,  information  and 
assistance  as  may,  from  time  to  time,  be 
deemed  desirable." 

All  of  these  resolutions  were  adopted 
by  the  University  Senate.  At  the 
September  meeting  of  the  Regents, 
the  resolutions  beginning  with  the  one 
regarding  the  function  of  the  Senate 
Council  to  consider  matters  appertain- 
ing to  the  general  welfare  of  the  Uni- 
versity were  presented  to  the  Re- 
gents and  authorized  by  that  body. 
The  following  by-laws  were  also 
adopted  by  the  Regents  thus  consti- 
tuting the  Senate  Council  : 

1.  The  Council  shall  hold  regular  meet- 
ings on  the  first  Friday  of  each  month  at 
eight  P.  M.  from  October  to  June  of  each 
year. 

2.  A  majority  of  the  Council,  that  is 
eight  members,  shall  constitute  a  quorum 
for  the  transaction  of  the  business  of  any 
regular  meeting  of  the  Council. 

3.  In  the  absence  of  the  President  of 
the  University,  who  is  ex-officio  Chairman 
of  the  Council,  the  Chair  shall  be  Uken 
by  the  senior  Dean  present 

This  Senate  Council  has  already 
taken  action  in  several  important  mat- 
ters, and  has  under  way  a  plan  for  a 
definite  organization  of  the  alumni  re- 
siding in  the  State  of  Michigan.    It

also  plans  to  take  up  in  the  near  fu- 
ture the  question  of  the  management 
of  the  vacation  periods,  and  also  the 
advisability  of  establishing  a  system 
of  general  entrance  requirements  for 
all  Departments  in  the  University  un- 
der the  charge  of  one  central  board. 


THE  CHORAL  UNION  AND  STUDENTS 
LECTURE  ASSOCIATION 

Not  differing  materially  from  pro- 
grams of  previous  years,  although  just 
as  acceptable,  the  Choral  Union  series 
of  concerts  and  the  Students'  Lecture 
Association,  both  promise  a  season  of 
worthy  entertainment.  The  prospec- 
tus of  the  Choral  Union  and  the  com- 
ing May  Festival  is  especially  attrac- 
tive. The  young  Dutch  pianist,  Jan 
Sickesz,  made  his  first  appearance  in 
America  in  the  first  concert  of  the 
season,  Oct.  i8,  and  was  greeted  en- 
thusiastically. The  next  concert  in 
the  series  will  be  given  by  Madame 
Gadski,  Nov.  ii.  This  will  be  fol- 
lowed one  month  later,  Dec.  12,  by 
the  Flonzaley  Quartette,  which  ranks 
as  one  of  the  leading  musical  organi- 
zations of  the  world.  Jan.  28,  will 
bring  Charles  W.  Clark,  while  the 
Adamowski  Trio  will  close  the  series 
of  Choral  Union  Concerts,  March  2, 
1908.  This  is  composed  of  three  fam- 
ous Polish  musicians  who  have  played 
together  for  the  past  ten  years  and 
have  won  for  themselves  just  distinc- 
tion. The  fifteenth  annual  May  Fes- 
tival will,  as  usual,  consist  of  five  con- 
certs to  be  given  May  13,  14,  15  and 
16.  Haydn's  sacred  work,  "Creation," 
and  Gounod's  "Faust"  are  to  be  giv- 
en, and  the  Theodore  Thomas  Or- 
chestra has  been  re-engaged  for  all 
the  concerts.  The  soloists  which  have 
been  already  engaged  are  Madame 
Rider-Kelsey,  Soprano,  Janet  Spen- 
cer, Contralto,  Edward  Johnson,  Ten- 
or, and  Herbert  Witherspoon,  Bass, 
all  of  whom  have  appeared  on  similar 
occasions  before.  Negotiations  are 
pending  with  other  artists. 


The  Students'  Lecture  Association, 
although  it  still  shows  somewhat  of  a 
political  and  popular  bias  and  hesi- 
tates to  break  from  beaten  paths,  which 
we  must  acknowledge  however  have 
proved  immensely  popular,  still  offers 
a  course  of  which  the  officers  may  be 
proud.  The  open  number  has  been 
filled  by  Secretary  Taft  so  that  the 
Association  is  now  able  to  offer  twelve 
entertainments  for  the  ticket  price  of 
$2.50.  The  course  opened  with  Gov- 
ernor J.  Frank  Hanly  of  Indiana,  who 
spoke  Oct.  25  on  "The  Patriotism  of 
Peace."  He  was  followed,  Nov.  8,  by 
John  Graham  Brooks,  President  of 
the  American  Social  Science  Associa- 
tion. One  week  later  comes  the  Hon. 
John  Barrett,  who  speaks  upon  the 
"Panama  Canal— The  Greatest  Work 
on  Earth."  The  following  week,  Nov. 
22,  Dr.  Emil  G.  Hirsch,  D.D.,  LL.D., 
who  is  at  present  Professor  of  Rab- 
binnical  Literature  and  Philosophy  in 
the  University  of  Chicago,  and  Min- 
ister of  the  Sinai  Congregation, 
speaks.  Dr.  William  J.  Dawson  of 
the  Highbury  Quadrant  Congrega- 
tional Church  of  London  comes  E)ec. 
8,  and  the  following  evening  the  one 
concert  in  the  series  will  be  given  by 
Sousa's  Band.  John  Temple  Graves, 
Editor  of  the  Atlanta  Constitution, 
speaks  on  Jan.  24,  and  on  Feb.  28, 
Leland  T.  Powers  returns  once  more 
with  his  impersonations.  Opie  Read 
will  speak  on  March  13,  and  on  April 
6,  Dr.  Brander  Matthews,  Professor 
of  Literature  in  Columbia  University, 
will  speak  probably  on  the  subject  of 
"Simplified  Spelling."  As  usual,  the 
University  Oratorical  Contest  is  also 
to  be  included  as  one  of  the  numbers 
on  the  course.

equipment,  cost,  etc.,  in  professional 
training  of  secondary  teachers  and  to 
.  report  all  findings  to  the  Board,  the 
expense  to  be  paid  by  the  University, 
was  granted.     The  Board,  however, 
limited    the- expense,  not  to  exceed 
$250. — Notice  was  given  by  Professor 
Kelsey  that  Mrs.  Theodore  H.  Buhl, 
of  Detroit,  had  generously  offered  to

Fellowship  be  awarded  to  Albert  R.

The  Secretary  was  authorized  to  ex- 
ecute a  contract  in  the  name  of  the 
Board  for  the  erection  of  the  Memor- 
ial Building,  calling  for  the  enclosed 


building  only  without  internal  fur- 
nishings, the  consideration  to  be 
$107,103.00.  This,  however,  with  the 
proviso  that  the  committee  personally 
guarantee  that  the  money  will  be 
forthcoming  to  cover  the  contract,  as 
well  as  the  architect's  and  superin- 
tendent's fees.  In  accordance  with 
this  understanding,  the  committee  fur- 
nished the  following  guarantee  and 
the  contract  was  let: 

"Whereas,  The  Memorial  Committee  of 
the  Alumni  Association  of  the  University 
of  Michigan  have  negotiated  a  contract  for 
the  foundations,  walls,  steps  and  approach, 
roof  and  skylights,  including  all  stone 
work,  of  the  proposed  Memorial  Building, 
which  contract  the  Committee  consider 
very  favorable,  and  have  asked  the  Board 
of  Regents  to  execute  such  contract;  and, 
whereas,  the  consideration  of  said  contract 
is  the  sum  of  $107,103  and  there  will  be 
an  additional  amount  required  for  super- 
intendence and  architects'  fees  (assumed 
to  be  aproximately  $5,000),  and, 

Whereas,  There  is  now  in  the  Treasury 
of  the  University,  belonging  to  said  build- 
ing fund,  the  sum  of  about  $78,000,  and 
the  Board  of  Regents  of  said  Univefcity 
are  reluctant  to  enter  into  said  contract 
without  the  funds  in  hand  to  pay  for  the 
same;  and, 

Whereas,  The  subscriptions  to  said 
building  fund  amount  to  about  $125,000 
and  by  the  terms  of  the  resolution  adopted 
by  the  said  Board  of  Regents,  it  is  re- 
quired that  the  amount  of  such  subscrip- 
tions shall  reach  the  sum  of  $132,000  before 
the  appropriation  of  $50,000  by  said  Board 
of  Regents  shall  be  used; 

Now,  Therefore,  The  undersigned,  mem- 
bers of  said  Memorial  Committee,  in  con- 
sideration that  the  said  Board  of  Regents 
shall  enter  into  said  contract,  as  requested 
by  said  Committee,  hereby  undertake  and 
agree  to  and  with  said  Board  of  Regents 
that  the  money  required  in  addition  to  the 
sum  now  in  said  Treasury  to  complete  said 
contract  and  to  pay  said  superintendent 
and  architect  fees  shall  be  forthcoming  and 
paid  into  the  Treasury  of  said  University 
as  and  when  it  shall  be  required  in  the 
course  of  the  carrying  out  of  said  con- 
tract; and  further,  that  the  amount  of  sub- 
scriptions shall  be  increased  to  the  aggre- 
gate amount  of  $132,000  before  the  Board 
of  Regents  shall  be  asked  or  required  to 
expend  any  of  said  appropriation  of  $50- 
000  towards  the  completion  of  said  build- 
ing, and  also,  before  the  same  shall  be  re-

THE  PRESIDENTS  /ANNUAL  REPORT 


To  the  Regents  of  the  University: 

I  present  you  my  Annual  Report 
for  the  year  ending  September  20, 
1907. 

As  in  the  previous  year  we  have 
suffered  heavy  affliction  by  the  death 
of  iJiree  members  of  our  Faculties. 
On  Dec.  14,  1906,  William  James 
Herdman,  M.D.,  LL.D.,  Professor  of 
Diseases  of  the  Mind  and  Nervous 
System,  and  of  Electro-Therapeutics, 
in  the  Department  of  Medicine  and 
Surgery  died  after  a  brief  illness  in 
Baltimore,  Md.,  while  on  his  way  to 
Europe.  He  was  graduated  from  the 
Literary    Department    in    1872,    and 


from  the  Medical  Department  in  1875. 
He  had  been  connected  with  the  Med- 
ical Department  in  various  capacities 
since  1875,  and  had  rendered  most 
valuable  service.  It  is  especially  due 
to  his  labors  that  the  state  was  led 
to  establish  the  Psychopathic  Ward, 
which  has  proved  of  so  great  service 
to  patients  in  the  incipient  stages  of 
insanity  and  to  alienists  in  the  study 
of  some  of  their  difficult  problems. 

On  June  i8th  in  the  midst  of  the 
festivities  of  Commencement  Week 
William  Harold  Payne,  Ph.D.,  LL.D.. 
D.Litt.,  Professor  of  the  Science  and 
the  Art  of  Teaching,  died  after  a  pro-

longed  illness.  He  was  the  first  to 
fill  such  a  chair  in  an  American  Uni- 
versity. Though  when  he  was  appoint- 
ed in  1879,  not  a  few  educators  doubt- 
ed whether  such  a  Professorship  could 
be  made  of  practical  use,  he  by  his 
careful  study  of  the  problem  of  pre- 
paring college  students  for  the  work 
of  the  teacher  brought  to  his  task 
such  wisdom  and  good  sense  and  ped- 
agogical skill  that  criticism  of  the 
plan  was  soon  silenced,  and  similar 
chairs  have  now  been  established  in 
most  of  the  prominent  universities  of 
the  country.  In  1887  he  was  chosen 
by  the  Trustees  of  the  Peabody  Edu- 
cational Fund  chancellor  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  Nashville  and  head  of  the 
Peabody  Normal  College.  For  four- 
teen years  he  held  that  position  and 
rendered  invaluable  service  to  the 
cause  of  education  in  the  South.  On 
the  death  of  Professor  Hinsdale,  who 
had  succeeded  him  here,  he  consented 
to  return  to  his  former  post.  He  dis- 
charged his  duties  with  his  character- 
istic fidelity,  until  the  disease  which 
finally  carried  him  off,  made  encroach- 
ments upon  his  strength.  By  his 
writings  as  well  as  by  his  class-room 
teaching  he  made  valuable  contribu- 
tions to  his  profession.  He  was  a 
man  of  singularly  pure  and  beautiful 
spirit. 

On  July  27th  Willoughby  Dayton 
Miller,  A.B.,  Ph.D.,  D.D.S.,  M.D., 
who  had  just  resigned  his  Professor- 
ship in  the  University  of  Berlin  to  ac- 
cept the  Deanship  of  our  Dental 
School,  died  in  Newark,  Ohio,  after 
an  operation  for  appendicitis.  This 
calamity  is  a  peculiarly  severe  trial  to 
the  School.  Dr.  Miller  by  his  scien- 
tific investigations  in  Berlin  has  won 
a  world-wide  reputation,  and  he,  as 
well  as  we,  were  looking  forward 
with  great  delight  to  his  work  with 
us.  He  was  a  graduate  of  our  Liter- 
ary Department  in  1875.  He  after- 
ward studied  physics  under  Sir  Wil- 
liam Thompson  in  Edinburgh  and 
later  at  the  University  of  Berlin.   He 


became  interested  while  there  in  cer- 
tain relations  of  chemistry  and  bac- 
teriology to  the  dental  art,  and  com- 
pleted the  dental  course  at  the  Uni- 
versity of  Pennsylvania.  In  1884  he 
was  made  Professor  of  Odontology 
in  the  University  of  Berlin.  His  sci- 
entific researches  secured  for  him  a 
high  reputation  both  in  Europe  and 
in  America.  We  have  sought  for 
years  to  persuade  him  to  accept  a 
chair  in  our  Dental  Department. 
Finally,  although  the  authorities  of 
the  University  of  Berlin  made  earn- 
est efforts  to  retain  him,  he  consented 
to  accept  the  Deanship  of  our  Dental 
School,  and  had  completed  his  ar- 
rangements to  begin  his  work  with 
us  at  this  time.  His  death  is  mourn- 
ed not  only  by  us,  but  by  the  whole 
dental  profession  of  the  country,  and 
by  his  scientific  associates  in  Germany. 

The  attendance  (including  the 
Summer  Session  of  1906),  was  4746, 
the  highest  figure  ever  reached  in  our 
history;  excluding  the  Summer  Ses- 
sion, it  was  4282.  In  the  regular  at- 
tendance the  gain  in  the  Literary  De- 
partment over  that  of  the  previous 
year  was  125 ;  in  the  Engineering  De- 
partment 43,  in  the  Dental  Depart- 
ment 46.  In  the  Law  Department 
there  was  a  decline  of  134.  There 
was  a  slight  gain  in  each  of  the  other 
departments.  The  attendance  from

ing  to  business  pursuits  may  indicate 
and  probably  does  indicate  that  the 
great  business  prosperity  of  the  coun- 
try is  attracting  a  considerable  num- 
ber of  the  class  who  have  heretofore 
turned  to  the  study  of  law.  There 
have  been  signs  that  the  professions 
of  law  and  medicine  are  becoming 
overcrowded,  and  many  of  the  medi- 
cal schools,  like  the  law  schools,  show 
a  diminished  attendance.* 

The  attendance  of  women  not  in- 
cluding the  Summer  School,  has  been 
as  follows,  for  the  last  two  years: 

1905-6  1906-7 
Department  of  Literature, 

Science  and  the  Arts 680  697 

Department  of  Engineering. . .  i 
D^rtment  of  Medicine  and 

Surgery   25  24 

Department  of  Law  2 

Department  of  Pharmacy i  2 

Homoeopathic  Medical  College     9  9 

College  of  Dental  Surgery 3  8 

730       741 

The  slight  gain,  it  will  be  observed, 
is  almost  wholly  in  the  Literary  De- 
partment The  steadiness  of  the  at- 
tendance for  several  years  is  note- 
worthy. The  number  of  women  in 
the  Summer  School  in  1906-7,  who 
were  not  in  the  regular  courses,  was 
140,  an  increase  of  29  over  the  pre- 
vious year.  In  the  Literary  Depart- 
ment there  were,  in  all,  189,  in  the 
Medical  11,  in  the  Law  i. 

Professor  Hudson,  who  has  held 
the  office  of  Dean  of  the  Literary  De- 
partment for  the  last  ten  years,  has 
resigned  that  position  in  order  to  give 
his  undivided  attention  to  his  work  in 
history.  He  has  discharged  the  duties 
of  Dean  with  great  fidelity.  With  the 
increasing  number  of  students  those 
duties  are  constantly  becoming  more 
arduous  and  make  heavy  demands  on 


*NoTE.— The  fact  that  the  Freshman  Law 
class,  which  has  entered  in  September, 
1907,  since  the  above  was  written,  is  larger 
l^  almost  a  hundred  than  that  of  last  year, 
makes  it  still  more  difficult  to  understand 
the  shrinkage  of  last  year. 


the  time  and  thought  of  the  incum- 
bent of  the  office.  Professor  Reed, 
who  has  been  appointed  to  succeed 
Professor  Hudson,  has  had  exper- 
ience as  Dean  of  the  Summer  School, 
which  has  served  to  prepare  him  for 
his  new  post. 

Other  universities  and  institutions 
seeking  competent  men  appear  to 
have  formed  the  habit  of  looking  to 
our  Faculties  for  their  supply.  How- 
ever complimentary  this  may  be  to  us, 
the  honor  is  attended  with  some  in- 
conveniences to  us.  We  are  quite  un- 
willing to  part  with  good  men. 

Dr.  McMurrich,  for  the  last  thir- 
teen years  our  Professor,  of  Anatomy 
in  the  Department  of  Medicine  and 
Surgery  has  resigned,  in  order  to  ac- 
cept a  similar  post  in  the  University 
of  Toronto.  This  carries  him  back 
to  his  native  city  and  to  his  Alma 
Mater.  We  regret  to  lose  a  man  of 
so  wide  learning  and  of  such  unusual 
gifts  as  a  teacher. 

We  have  appointed  to  succeed  him 
Dr.  George  L.  Streeter,  A.B.,  M.D., 
who  has  made  excellent  studies  in  this 
country  and  abroad,  and  has  had  hon- 
orable appointments  at  the  Johns 
Hopkins  Medical  School  and  at  the 
Wistar  Institute. 

Dr.  Arthur  Fairbanks,  who  has 
been  with  us  but  a  short  time  as  Pro- 
fessor of  Greek  and  Greek  Archaeol- 
ogy, has  received  the  high  honor  of 
appointment  as  Director  of  the  Bos- 
ton Art  Museum  with  a  generous  sal- 
ary. This  is  a  flattering  recognition 
of  his  critical  knowledge  of  ancient 
art  and  of  his  administrative  ability. 

We  have  selected  as  his  successor 
Dr.  Campbell  Bonner  of  Vanderbilt 
University,  who  has  won  recognition 
from  leading  classical  scholars  by  his 
contributions  to  classical  journals. 

We  have  strengthened  the  Engin- 
eering Faculty  by  the  appointment 
as  Assistant  Professor  of  Civil  Engin- 
eering of  J.  H.  Griffith,  M.S.,  who 
has  had  experience  in  railroad  con- 
struction and  in  structural  work  in

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[November 


iron  and  steel,  and  as  Professor  of 
Electrical  Engineering  C.  L.  DeMur- 
alt,  C.E.,  a  graduate  of  the  Polytech- 
nic School  of  Zurich,  who  pursued 
graduate  studies  at  the  University  of 
Munich  and  had  been  engaged  for 
over  ten  years  in  practical  work  of 
construction,  and  as  Instructor  in  Me- 
chanical Engineering  of  Stanislaus 
Zowski,  who  was  educated  at  the 
Polytechnic  School  of  Zurich  and  at 
Charlottenburg. 

The  currents  of  student  life  have 
flowed  on  pretty  smoothly  during  the 
past  year.  The  silly  and  sometimes 
dangerous  amusement  of  "hair-cut- 
ting" was  omitted,  and  the  friendly 
contests  of  the  two  lower  classes  in 
the  trials  of  strength  and  cunning 
were  carried  on  under  supervision  of 
upper  classmen  and  under  regulations. 
This  prevented  serious  bodily  injuries 
and  bad  blood.  For  these  reforms 
we  are  largely  indebted  to  the  organi- 
zation known  as  the  Student  Council, 
composed  of  men  elected  by  the  body 
of  students  to  secure  the  wise  man- 
agement of  their  affairs.  I  take  pleas- 
ure in  testifying  to  the  great  good 
sense  and  the  excellent  spirit,  with 
which  they  have  carried  on  their 
work. 

In  my  last  report  I  had  occasion  to 
express  our  satisfaction  that  notwith- 
standing the  attractiveness  and 
strength  of  our  Professional  Schools 
and  in  spite  of  the  strong  desire  of  so 
many  young  men  to  hasten  unduly 
into  their  professional  life  the  largest 
increase  of  students  was  registered 
in  the  Literary  Department.  It  is 
gratifying  to  observe  the  same  facts 
this  year.  It  shows  that  the  sane 
opinion  is  gaining  ground  among  our 
constituency  that  it  is  wise  for  all  who 
can  to  lay  a  broad  and  strong  founda- 
tion for  professional  study  in  the  dis- 
ciplinary training  of  the  collegiate 
course.  I  need  hardly  add  that  this 
imposes  on  the  authorities  of  the 
University  the  duty  of  enriching  and 
strengthening  the  work  of  the  Liter- 


ary Department  by  every  'method  at 
their  command,  as  the  source  and 
centre  of  the  intellectual  life  of  the 
institution. 

The  Department  of  Medicine  and 
Surgery  by  your  authority  has  taken 
a  very  important  step.  It  has  an- 
nounced that  beginning  with  the  au- 
tumn of  1909  no  student  may  be  ad- 
mitted to  the  Department  who  has 
not  previously  complied  with  the  re- 
quirements for  admission  to  the  Lit- 
erary Department  and  obtained  credit 
for  sixty  hours  (two  years)  of  work. 
In  the  sixty  hours  of  work  is  to  be 
credit  for  certain  specified  subjects 
which  are  essential  as  preparatory  to 
medical  study.  A  number  of  the  med- 
ical schools  connected  with  univer- 
sities are  making  a  similar  require- 
ment. In  some  it  is  not  to  be  insisted 
on  until  1910.  No  one  of  the  pro- 
fessions is  doing  more  to  raise  the 
standard  of  preparation  for  admission 
to  its  ranks  than  that  of  medicine. 

The  National  Dental  Association 
having  insisted  that  we  make  a  large 
increase  in  our  demands  for  fees  from 
students  as  a  condition  of  the  mem- 
bership of  our  school  in  that  organiza- 
tion, you  have  very  properly  instructed 
our  Dental  Faculty  to  withdraw  from 
the  society.  We  cannot  allow  any 
society  to  determine  at  what  cost  to 
the  student  the  State  of  Michigan 
shall  furnish  education. 

In  addition  to  the  work  of  instruc- 
tion, the  energies  of  the  Observatory 
during  the  past  year  have  been  de- 
voted more  largely  to  construction 
than  to  observation.  Many  improve- 
ments have  been  made  in  the  instru- 
ments. The  large  refractor  in  par- 
ticular has  been  thoroughly  rebuilt, 
making  it  an  efficient  modem  instru- 
ment. So  numerous  have  been  the 
changes  in  this  telescope  that  it  may 
almost  be  regarded  as  new.  The  old 
unstable  wooden  tube  has  been  re- 
placed by  a  new  and  very  rigid  one 
of  sheet  steel.  The  other  new  parts 
include  the  draw  tube,    worm     and

worm  wheel,  driving  clodc,  clamps 
and  slow  motions  in  right  ascension 
and  in  declination,  and  coarsely  grad- 
uated circles  for  rapidly  settmg  the 
instrument.  Electric  illumination  has 
been  provided  for  the  micrometer  and 
for  reading  the  coarse  circles,  both 
controlled  from  the  eye  end.  All  of 
these  parts  have  been  made  in  the 
Observatory  shop  and  fitted  by  the 
Observatory  instrument  makers.  A 
new  position  filar  micrometer,  made 
by  the  Warner  &  Swasey  Company 
of  Cleveland,  has  also  been  fitted  to 
the  instrument.  Recently,  since  the 
completion  of  its  reconstruction,  this 
telescope  has  been  used  for  observa- 
tions of  Mars  and  of  comets  and  dou- 
ble stars. 

Last  year  steps  were  taken  toward 
acquiring  a  large  reflecting  telescope 
for  photographic  and  spectroscopic 
work,  and  satisfactory  progress  has 
been  made  in  its  construction.  After 
a  number  of  trials,  a  suitable  disk  of 
glass  was  successfully  cast  by  the  St. 
Gobain  Works,  in  France,  and  for- 
warded in  May  to  the  opticians.  The 
John  A.  Brashear  Company  of  Alle- 
gheny. They  have  commenced  the 
optical  work  and  it  is  probable  that 
the  great  mirror  will  be  finished  with- 
in a  few  months.  The  disk  of  glass 
is  to  all  appearances  of  excellent  qual- 
ity and  will  finish  appreciably  larger 
than  ordered,  giving  a  clear  aperture 
of  about  thirty-seven  inches. 

The  design  for  the  mounting  or 
machinery  of  this  telescope  has  been 
made  at  the  Observatory  during  the 
year,  and  the  detailed  working  draw- 
ings for  shop  use  for  a  large  portion 
of  it  are  completed.  For  several 
months  the  construction  of  the  instru- 
ment has  been  in  progress  in  the  En- 
gineering and  Observatory  Shops  and 
is  proceeding  satisfactorily. 

According  to  the  report  of  the 
Librarian  the  total  number  of  volumes 
in  our  Libraries  is  222,609,  made  up 
as  foUows:  General  Library,  172,276; 
Law,  24,425;  Medical,  16,569;  Den- 


tal, 1,626;  Homoeopathic,  2,596;  En- 
gineering and  Architecture,  4415. 

The  experiment  of  allowing  the  stu- 
dents to  order  books  under  wise  regu- 
lations has  proved  most  satisfactory 
and  has  been  highly  appreciated  by 
the  students. 

The  number  of  accessions  to  the 
libraries  is  one-third  larger  than  in 
any  previous  year.  This  rate  of  in- 
crease is  forcing  on  us  a  serious  prob- 
lem, namely,  of  finding  room  for 
properly  housing  our  books.  Some 
enlargement  of  available  space  must 
at  once  be  found,  since  we  are  adding 
about  16,000  volumes  a  year. 

It  appears  from  the  report  of  the 
Curator  of  the  Art  Museum  that  dur- 
ing the  past  academic  year  11,600 
persons  have  visited  our  Art  Gallery, 
although  it  is  open  only  two  hours 
daily.  He  therefore  very  properly 
submits  to  you  the  question  whether 
it  is  not  expedient  to  open  it  two  hours 
more  in  the  day  as  many  persons  de- 
sire that  we  should. 

The  organization  of  the  students 
known  as  the  Michigan  Union  will 
come  to  be  an  event  of  much  import- 
ance in  the  life  of  the  Universi^,  if 
the  expectations  of  its  promoters  are 
in  any  ccmsiderable  degree  realized. 
Its  aim  is  to  establish  a  sort  of 'head- 
quarters or  home,  to  which  the  stu- 
dents may  resort  in  their  leisure  hours 
and  there  cultivate  acquaintance  with 
each  other.  They  have  now  no  com- 
mon meeting  place,  where  they  may 
meet  in  friendly  social  intercourse. 
Members  of  fraternities  may  indeed 
meet  in  their  respective  houses.  But 
members  of  different  fraternities  have 
no  gathering  place,  where  they  may 
form  social  ties  with  each  other.  And 
a  majority  of  our  students  are  not 
members  of  fraternities.  For  the  last 
three  or  four  years  a  large  number  of 
our  students  and  some  of  the  mem- 
bers of  the  Faculties  have  been  care- 
fully considering  the  problem  of  find- 
ing a  method  of  facilitating  the  inter- 
course of  our  young  men  with  each

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS

other.  Their  efforts  have  finally  re- 
sulted in  the  purchase  of  the  residence 
of  the  late  Judge  Cooley  as  the  home 
of  the  Michigan  Union.  The  society 
is  making  such  alterations  in  the  house 
as  will  adapt  it  to  its  new  purpose. 
The  situation  contiguous  to  the  cam- 
pus is  most  fortunate.  The  associa- 
tions of  the  house,  so  long  the  abode 
of  the  most  distinguished  and  beloved 
of  our  Professors,  lend  great  interest 
to  it.  If  the  Union,  which  is  open  to 
all  students  at  a  moderate  cost,  is 
wisely  conducted,  the  advantages 
should  be  very  great.  There  is  no 
graduate  of  a  college  who  does  not 
recall  some  of  the  friendships  formed 
with  fellow  students  as  not  only  the 
most  charming  feature  of  his  under- 
graduate life,  but  also  as  having  made 
as  deep  and  abiding  impression  on  his 
mind  and  character  as  the  instruction 
received  from  his  teachers.  We  have 
done  too  little  to  furnish  facilities  for 
our  students  to  meet  each  other  in 
their  leisure  hours  and  profit  by  social 
intercourse.  We  may  well  do  what- 
ever we  can  to  encourage  the  students 
in  establishing  themselves  under  fa- 
voring conditions  in  the  home  of  the 
Michigan  Union.  And  our  alumni 
can  render  no  better  service  to  us  than 
by  coming  to  the  aid  of  the  students 
with  generous  contributions  for  the 
refitting  and  the  proper  maintenance 
of  the  Cooley  house. 

The  Students'  Christian  Association 
has  of  late  years  rendered  great  ser- 
vice to  our  students  by  assisting  the 
newcomers  in  finding  rooms  and  by 
aiding  all  students  in  finding  employ- 
ment, by  which  they  may  earn  enough 
to  pay  a  portion  of  their  expenses. 
During  the  last  year  they  aided  in 
finding  employment  for  575  persons. 
The  earnings  of  these  students 
amounted  to  several  thousand  dollars. 
It  has  not  been  found  practicable  to 
determine  the  exact  amount.  From 
the  best  information  available,  it  seems 
probable  that  at  least  1,200  of  the  stu- 
dents are  partially  or  wholly  meeting 
their  expenses  by  their  labor. 


We  have  made  an  important  addit- 
ion to  our  facilities  for  work  by  es- 
tablishing telephonic  communication 
between  our  various  buildings  through 
an  electrical  plant  of  the  most  modem 
construction.  Incidentally  this  fine 
plant  is  of  course  of  great  assistance 
to  our  students  of  electrical  engineer- 
ing. 

It  has  long  been  obvious  that  owing 
to  the  rapid  growth  of  the  University 
the  Campus  would  prove  too  small  to 
furnish  sites  for  the  buildings  we 
should  need  at  no  distant  day.  It  is 
much  to  be  regretted  that  long  ago, 
when  land  contiguous  to  the  tracts  we 
own  could  have  been  secured  at  low 
rates,  we  had  not  the  means  to  pur- 
chase. But  during  the  last  few  years 
we  have  found  the  means  to  gain 
possession  of  some  desirable  lots,  as 
for  example  the  Winchell  property 
and  the  First  Ward  School  property. 
During  the  past  year  we  have  obtained 
at  a  moderate  price  a  considerable 
tract  adjacent  to  the  University  Hos- 
pital, which  it  is  very  desirable  we 
should  control.  We  have  also,  in 
order  to  procure  the  most  desirable 
site  for  the  new  Dental  College,  pur- 
chased three  houses  on  North  Uni- 
versity Avenue  and  lots  on  which  to 
place  two  of  them.  The  third  we 
have  removed  to  the  University  Hos- 
pital grounds,  where  it  will  be  used 
for  the  lodging  of  nurses.  We  also 
purchased  a  commodious  house  and 
lot  adjacent  to  the  Homoeopathic  Hos- 
pital, and  the  house  will  be  used  as 
a  home  for  the  nurses  in  that  hospital. 
There  are  other  lots  which  a  far- 
sighted  economy  will  prompt  us  to 
buy,  if  the  condition  of  our  treasury 
permits,  before  the  market  price  is  too 
much  enhanced. 

It  is  gratifying  to  know  that  by 
strict  economy  you  have  been  able 
to  provide  for  the  erection  of  one 
of  the  several  buildings  of  which 
we  are  so  much  in  need.  The  work 
on  the  Dental  College  is  begun,  and 
it  will  be  a  structure  admirably  adapt- 
ed to  its  purposes.

PRESIDENTS  ANNUAL  REPORT 


6i 


We  are  also  grateful  to  the  Alum- 
ni and  other  friends  of  the  Univer- 
sity who  have  raised  the  sum  of  $132,- 
000  for  the  erection  of  a  Memorial 
Building,  in  which  due  honor  is  to 
be  paid  to  the  gallant  sons  of  the 
University  who  served  their  country 
in  the  Civil  war  and  the  Spanish  war, 
and  to  the  other  men  and  women  who 
by  their  lives  have  rendered  worthy 
service  to  the  University.  By  a  hap- 
py thought  you  have  also  decided  to 
appropriate  fifty  thousand  dollars 
from  the  University  treasury,  which 
added  to  the  sum  raised  by  contribu- 
tions, enables  the  architect  to  plan  the 
building  so  as  to  receive  the  Art  Col- 
lection now  in  the  Library  Building. 
The  removal  of  that  collection  will 
furnish  large  additional  space,  now 
urgently  needed,  for  the  General 
Library. 

But  when  all  this  is  done,  we  are 
still  in  most  pressing  need  of  other 
large  and  costly  buildings.  It  must 
be  remembered  that  a  large  part  of 
the  old  Medical  Building  is  condemn- 
ed and  useless.  We  should  provide 
for  the  men  excluded  from  that  build- 
ing. We  must  have  soon  a  building 
for  the  scientific  teachers  in  the  Lit- 
erary Department  who  require  labor- 
atories and  lecture  rooms  for  instruc- 
tion in  botany,  zoology,  mineralogy 
and  geology.  We  need  sorely  larger 
and  better  accommodations  for  the 
work  in  history  and  political  econo- 
my. The  old  Chemical  Laboratory  is 
both  worn  out  and  outgrown.  It  has 
not  room  for  the  classes  which  over- 
crowd it.  The  new  Engineering 
Building  is  already  outgrown  and 
should  have  at  once  a  fifty  thousand 
dollar  enlargement. 

We  have  found  ourselves  under  the 
necessity  of  increasing  the  salaries  of 
a  considerable  number  of  our  teach- 
ers. We  had  been  unable  to  take  such 
a  step  for  many  years.  Meantime  it 
is  a  matter  of  common  knowledge  that 
house  rents,  servants'  wages,  and  all 
the  expenses  of  living  in  this  town 


have  largely  increased.  Moreover 
other  universities  have  been  drawing 
from  us  some  of  our  best  teachers 
by  offering  them  larger  salaries 
than  ours.  During  the  last  twelve- 
month an  unusual  number  of  such 
calls  have  come  to  the  members 
of  our  Faculties.  Of  course  they 
commonly  come  to  the  men  whom 
we  can  least  afford  to  lose.  Our 
scale  of  salaries  is  still  materially 
below  that  of  several  universities, 
who  often  covet  some  of  our  profes- 
sors. It  should  be  remembered  too 
that  the  system  of  pensioning  elderly 
or  disabled  professors,  which  some 
universities  adopted  years  ago,  and 
which  Mr.  Carnegie  by  a  special  en- 
dowment has  made  applicable  to  most 
of  the  stronger  colleges  and  univer- 
sities, but  not  to  the  state  universities, 
acts  as  a  premium  to  attract  men  from 
us.  It  will  be  seen  therefore  that  we 
have  been  driven  by  circumstances  to 
an  increase  of  salaries  as  a  step  indis- 
pensable to  the  maintenance  of  a  staff 
of  the  first  rank  in  scholarship  and 
reputation. 

We  have  received  some  gratifying 
tokens  of  generous  interest  in  us  by 
large  minded  benefactors. 

Hon.  A.  M.  Todd  of  Kalamazoo, 
has  enriched  our  Museum  and  Art

D.  M.  Ferry,  Parke,  Davis  &  Co., 
Frederick  Steams  &  Co.,  Theodore 
D.  Buhl,  Hon.  Peter  White,  Mrs. 
George  S.  Morris,  and  Bryant  Walk- 
er, have  continued  Fellowships  and 
Scholarships, 

We  desire  to  remember  with  special 
gratitude  the  Legislature  for  their  al- 
most unanimous  action  in  raising  the 
appropriation  for  the  support  of  the 
University  from  one-fourth  to  one- 
third  of  a  mill.  Under  the  present  ap- 
praisal of  the  property  of  the  state, 
that  adds  $216,763.50  to  our  annual 


income.  We  were  in  sore  need  of  such 
help.  We  appreciate  it  not  only  be- 
cause of  the  timely  addition  to  our 
resources,  but  because  it  furnishes 
fresh  and  encouraging  evidence  that 
the  citizens  of  our  state  are  ever  ready 
to  sustain  us  in  all  reasonable  endeav- 
ours to  maintain  the  University  on  a 
high  plane  of  usefulness.  We  can  as- 
sure them  that  we  shall  continue  to 
administer  it  with  prudence  and  econ- 
omy and  secure  for  it  the  highest  ef- 
ficiency compatible  with  the  resources 
which  they  place  at  our  command.

FACULTY  CHANGES 


Owing  to  the  death  of  three  Profes- 
sors in  the  University  this  last  year, 
as  well  as  the  resignation  of  eight 
others,  there  are  more  changes  to  be 
noted  in  the  personnel  of  the  Univer- 
sity Faculty  this  fall  than  there  have 
been  for  several  years.  The  increase 
in  the  appropriation  to  the  University 
by  the  state  legislature  has  also  had 
the  effect  of  advancing  a  larger  num- 
ber than  usual  from  instructorships  to 
Assistant  Professorships,  and  from 
Assistant  Professorships  to  Junior 
Professorships,  and  Professorships. 
In  addition  to  the  changes  within  the 
Senate,  we  have  ten  new  additions  to 
the  Faculty  of  professorial  rank.

ship, and  upon  receiving  his  doctor- 
ate was  appointed  to  the  Harris  Fel- 
lowship with  permission  to  study 
abroad  for  a  year,  which  time  he  spent 
partly  at  the  University  of  Berlin, 
partly  in  Greece  and  Italy.  Upon  re- 
turning to  America  in  1901  he  was  ap- 
pointed Professor  of  Greek  at  the 
University  of  Nashville  (Peabody 
College  for  Teachers)  which  position 
he  held  until  his  appointment  as  Junior 
Professor  of  Gredc  in  this  University. 
He  has  collaborated  with  Professor  C. 
F.  Smith  as  editor  of  Xenophon's  An- 
abasis (Appleton,  1905),  and  besides 
his  doctor's  dissertation  was  published 
in  Harvard  Studies  in  Classical  Philol- 
ogy, Volume  13  (A  Study  of  the  Dan- 
aid.  Myth).  He  has  published  arti- 
cles and  reviews  in  the  American

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[November 


ged  work  a  crippled  lineup  and  consequent 
lack  of  familiarity  with  the  signals  on  the 
part  of  substitute  players  must  be  consid- 
ered. 

Michigan's  stars  were  Loell,  Schulz,  and 
Rheinschild  and  considering  the  work  of 
the  whole  team  their  performances  were 
noteworthy.  Schulz  was  a  rock  at  center 
and  Loell  and  Rheinschild,  alternating  at 
tackle  and  fullback,  both  did  splendid  work. 

Acting  captain  Rheinschild  won  the  toss 
and  on  the  kickoff  Rumney  ran  the  ball 
back  to  the  25  yard  line.  Prom  here  the 
backs  rushed  the  ball  to  the  center  of  the 
the  field  losing  it  on  an  uncompleted  for- 
ward pass.  Case  could  not  gain  and  Mich- 
igan took  the  ball  to  the  visitors'  two  yard 
line  only  to  lose  it  on  a  fumble.  No  other 
chances  to  tally  offered  in  the  initial  period. 

Early  in  the  second  half  Case  held  on  its 
own  15  yard  line  and  on  the  third  down 
Graham  drop-kicked  from  the  20  yard  line 
at  a  difficult  angle. 

Michigan  showed  flashes  of  championship 
play  after  the  next  kickoff,  when,  taking 
possession  of  the  ball  on  its  own  40  yard 
line,  it  marched  to  the  Case  5  yard  line 
where  Loell  went  over  for  the  only  touch- 
down of  the  game.

MICHIGAN.  46;  M.  A.  CO 

Showing  a  great  reversal  of  form  over 
the  playing  in  the  Case  game  of  the  pre- 
vious week,  the  Varsity  overwhelmed  the 
strong  team  from  Michigan  Agricultural 
College  on  Ferry  Field,  Oct.  12. 

Michigan  was  held  for  downs  but  twice 
in  the  entire  40  minutes  of  play  and  then 
only  as  a  direct  result  of  penalties.  M.  A. 
C.  never  made  her  downs.  This  shows 
how  much  improved  over  the  first  game 
of  the  season  were  both  the  offense  and 
the  team  work  of  the  Varsity. 

For  the  first  time  in  a  regular  game 
Captain  Magoffin  was  seen  in  his  place  at 


left  half  and  as  though  inspired  by  his 
presence  the  entire  backfield,  aided  by  the 
splendid  work  done  by  the  linemen  in  at- 
tacking opposing  tacklers,  moved  as  one 
man  toward  the  opposite  goal,  registering 
in  all  eight  touchdowns. 

Early  in  the  game  Michigan  abandoned 
the  use  of  the  forward  pass.  It  had  proven 
a  great  success  whenever  tried,  so,  with 
the  other  trick  plays,  it  was  saved  for  a 
greater  necessity. 

The  visitors  had  two  chances  to  score  on 
goals  from  the  field  but  each  time  their  line 
gave  way  before  the  charges  of  Michigan's 
forwards  and  the  kicks  were  ineffectual. 

Michigan's  attack  was  characterized 
by  open  field  work  throughout  the  entire 
first  half  and  part  of  the  second,  good  in- 
terference enabling  the  backs  to  get  away 
for  several  runs  of  from  15  to  40  yards. 
Hammond's  kicking,  in  a  ounting  duel  with 
Vaughan  in  the  second  half,  was  one  of 
the  prettiest  exhibitions  seen  in  late  years. 
Many  of  the  big  end's  spirals  went  a  full 
50  yards.  Loell  and  Schulz  were  conspic- 
uous in  clearing  the  way  for  ground  gain- 
ing plays  and  "Octy"  Graham  added  six 
points  to  the  score  by  his  goal  kicks.

MICHIGAN,  22;  WABASH,  0 

Supported  by  a  large  delegation  of  alum- 
ni with  a  brass  band,  Michigan  defeated 
Wabash  by  a  score  of  22-0  on  Washing- 
ton field,  Indianapolis,  Ind.,  on  Oct  19. 
While  the  game  was  marred  by  fumbling, 
there  were  numerous  spectacular  plays 
which  made  the  game  one  in  which  the 
new  style  of  open  offense  was  marked. 

Fighting  with  characteristic  stubborn- 
ness, the  "Little  Giants,"  by  taking  advan- 
tage of  every  misplay  made  by  the  Mich- 
igan team,  held  their  opponents  to  a  sin- 
gle touchdown  in  the  first  half,  and  though

outweighed  nearly  20  pounds  to  the  man, 
and  with  the  battle  going  against  them,  the 
plucky  Hoosiers  held  the  Michigan  team 
for  downs  on  their  one  yard  line  in  the 
middle  of  the  second  half.  In  the  first  half, 
though  Wabash  played  better  football  they 
were  never  dangerous  except  when  fum- 
bles gave  them  the  ball  in  Michigan's  ter- 
ritory, their  total  inability  to  penetrate  the 
Wolverhies'  defense  making  it  early  ap- 
parent that  their  scoring  on  straight  foot- 
ball was  impossible.  Michigan,  on  the  oth- 
er hand,  gained  in  both  strength  and  ac- 
curacy as  the  game  grew  older  and  in  the 
second  half  scored  two  touchdowns  and  a 
field  goal  by  brilliant  offensive  playing. 
All  the  Varsity  backfield  starred  and  the 
line  proved  invincible  throughout  the  game. 

Right  at  the  outset,  Michigan  was  given 
a  false  impression  as  to  Wabash's  defensive 
strength.  Allerdice  caught  the  kickoff  on 
the  5  yard  line  and  ran  it  back  90  yards 
behind  perfect  interference,  to  the  Hoosier 
15  yard  mark.  The  little  group  of  Michi- 
gan alumni  in  the  west  bleachers  went  wild 
with  delight  at  the  prospect  of  an  old-time 
score,  but  the  expected  touchdown  was  not 
forthcoming.  Allerdice  himself  opened  the 
fumbling  match  in  which  nearly  all  of  his 
teammates  took  part,  and,  due  to  the  fact 
that  Wabash  picked  up  the  leather  every 
time  a  Wolverine  dropped  it,  the  half  pro- 
gressed with  but  little  satisfaction  to  the 
supporters  of  the  maize  and  blue.  Toward 
the  end  of  the  period  the  Varsity 
fell  into  its  stride  and  on  a  fumble  by  the 
Wabash  quarter  Michigan  took  the  ball 
from  the  30  yard  line  for  a  touchdown, 
from  which  Allerdice  kicked  an  easy  goal. 

Early  in  the  second  half  Rheinschild 
went  around  left  end  for  20  yards  and  on 
the  next  play  Capt  Magoffin  tore  through 
the  line  for  35  yards  and  a  touchdown. 
With  the  goal  kicked  by  Allerdice  Michigan 
had  12  points. 

After  the  next  kickoff  Michigan  took  the 
ball  from  midfield  to  the  i  yard  line  on  line 
plunges  only  to  be  held  for  downs.  When 
Wabash  fell  behind  her  own  goal  to 
punt,  Loell  broke  through,  blocked  the 
idck  and  fell  on  the  ball  for  a  touchdown. 
Hammond  kicked  goal.     Score  18-0 

Near  the  end  of  the  game  Michigan 
failed  to  gain  on  two  downs  on  the  35  yard 
line  and  Graham  fell  back  to  try  for  a 
field  goal  from  the  45  yard  line.  The  ball 
sailed  in  a  beautiful  curve,  struck  the  goal 
bar  and  then  fell  behind  it  Yost 
was  satisfied  with  the  score  and  made  nu- 
merous substitutions.  The  remainder  of 
the  half  was  occupied  by  a  punting  duel 
in  which  neither  side  had  any  marked  ad- 
vantage.

MICHIGAN,  22;  OHIO  STATE,  0 

Good  on  offense  and  firm  on  defense,  us- 
ing the  forward  pass  as  well  as  the  old 
time  straight  football,  Michigan  over- 
whelmed Ohio  State  University  on  Ferry 
Field  Oct  27  by  a  score  of  22-0.  The 
game  was  a  fair  test  of  the  Wolverines' 
strength  for  Ohio  was  heavy— her  back- 
field  surpassing  Michigan's  in  this  particu- 
lar—and clever,  for  the  team's  play  was  far 
better  than  in  igo6. 

Of  all  the  variety  of  plays  executed  by 
the  Varsity  the  forward  pass  contributed 
most  to  Ohio's  defeat  It  was  tried  ten 
times  and  of  these,  seven  trials  were  suc- 
cessful, netting  gains  of  from  20  to  40 
yards.  Runs  of  25  and  35  3rards  twice  led 
directly  to  touchdowns,  and  the  Yost  "style" 
of  passing  received  a  thorough  vindication. 
Rheinschild  or  Capt  Magoffin,  catching  the 
ball  thrown  by  Wasmund  or  Allerdice  never 
failed  to  win  the  applause  of  the  spectators 
as  they  tore  through  the  scattered  defense 
of  the  visitors. 

Michigan's  line  showed  up  in  brilliant 
form.  Rumney  and  Hany  Hammond  at 
the  ends,  Casey  and  Rheinschild,  tackles, 
Embs  and  Graham,  guards,  and  the  mighty 
Schulz  at  center  repulsed  every  play  direct- 
ed against  them  and  maintained  the  Wol- 
verine record  of  preventing  any  team's  ne- 
gotiating ten  yards  on  three  consecutive 
plays.  It  is  doubtful  if  any  team  in  the 
country  today  can  boast  of  four  games 
played  without  yielding  a  single  first  down. 
Michigan's  defense  is  all  that  could  be  de- 
sired. 

Michigan's  chief  weaknesses  were  ina- 
bility to  handle  punts  in  the  backfield  and 
failures  to  kick  goals.  Both  were  largely 
excusable  because,  after  the  first  few  min- 
utes of  play,  the  ball  was  wet  with  the 
cold  rain  that  began  to  fall  before  the  first 
half  was  over.  There  was  also  a  stiff 
northwest  wind.

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[November 


Ohio  offered  the  stiffest  kind  of  resist- 
ence  in  the  first  half,  before  the  Michigan 
machine  was  running  smoothly.  Frequent- 
ly they  held  for  downs,  and,  finding  it  use- 
less to  return  the  attack  directly,  they  re- 
sorted to  the  use  of  forward  passes  and 
onside  kicks.  The  former  wer^  failures 
but  the  latter  sometimes  gained  when  Was- 
mund  fumbled  behind  the  line.  Barring- 
ton,  the  visiting  quarterback,  excited  the 
admiration  of  the  crowd  by  his  brilliant 
returns  of  Hammond's  long  spirals. 

Ohio  won  the  toss  and  chose  to  defend 
the  east  goal  with  a  strong  wind  at  its 
back.  The  wisdom  of  this  was  shown  a 
little  later  when  all  of  Graham's  attempts 
to  kick  goal  from  placement  went  wide. 

On  the  first  two  plays  after  the  kickoff 
Ohio  made  short  gains,  but  the  blue  line 
held  and  the  ball  was  punted  to  midfield 
where  the  Varsity  failed  to  gain  and  Ham- 
mond punted  into  Ohio's  territory.  From 
this  time  till  near  the  end  of  the  half  both 
teams  fought  a  slow,  heavy  battle  between 
the  Buckeyes*  15  and  50  yard  lines.  At 
last  Michigan  unlimbered  the  forward  pass, 
Rheinschild  made  10  yards  on  a  line  buck, 
Douglas  and  Loell  placed  the  ball  7  yards 
from  Ohio's  goal  and  on  the  second  down 
Loell  went  over  for  a  touchdown.  Graham 
kicked  goal. 

Ohio  had  two  chances  to  score  on  fum- 
bles soon  after  this  but  Barrington's  first 
place  kick  fell  into  Wasmund's  arms  in 
the  shadow  of  Michigan's  goal,  and  the 
second  was  blocked  by  Schulz.  Hammond 
proved  his  superiority  in  a  punting  duel  and 
the  ball  was  again  out  of  dangerous  ter- 
ritory. 


Early  in  the  second  half  Magoffin  made 
the  most  spectacular  play  of  the  day.  Tak- 
ing the  ball  on  a  forward  pass  and  elud- 
ing the  Ohio  tacklers  he  ran  40  yards  for 
a  touchdown.     Graham  missed  the  goal. 

At  this  point  Yost  substituted  his  "pony" 
backfield,  Lehr,  Sullivan,  and  Allerdice  go- 
ing in  for  Magoffin,  Loell,  and  Douglas. 
The  weakened  Buckeyes  were  unable  to 
withstand  the  vigor  of  the  rejuvenated  at- 
tack and  the  next  two  touchdowns  came 
as  the  results  of  an  unsuccessful  kick  re- 
covered by  Hammond  and  a  35  yard  run 
by  Rheinschild  on  a  forward  pass. 

Following  the  next  kick  off  Michigan  tore 
down  the  field  by  well  directed  plays 
against  Ohio's  line,  but  as  the  teams  lined 
up  on  the  Buckeyes'  i  yard  line  with  the 
ball  in  Michigan's  possession  the  time- 
keeper's whistle  ended  the  game.

as  Conklin's  Self-Fillins:  Fountain  Pen.  It's  in  a  distinct 
class  by  itself.  Il's  th€  College -SianJarJ.  Doesn't  matter 
where  you  are — in  your  room,  lecture  hall,  or  on  the  train 
— you  can  fill  it  instantly  by  dipping  in  any  ink-well.  A 
slight  thumb  pressure  on  the  Crescent-Filler  does  it. 
Cleaned  in  the  same  simple,  easy  way.

business  man,  professional  man,  and  for  the  man  who  moves ' 
about,  it  is  the  only  pen.     No  mussy  dropper,  nothing  to  screw 
or  unscrew,  no  tool  kit,  no  inky  fingers.     Ink  flows  as  smoothly 
as  a  prize  essay.     No  stops,  no  blots,  balks  or  scratches. 

Leading  dealers  handle  the  ConkUn.  If  yours  does  not,  order  direct.

expect  in  four  short  years  to  build  up  the  largest  plant  in  Michi-

ing offices  in  Ann  Arbor,  and  then  have  room  left.  This  is  said  with  no 
disrespect  to  any  of  our  competitors,  either.  People  have  found  out  that 
they  can  depend  on  getting 

FIRST  CLASS  WORK  AT  REASONABLE  PRICES 

at  our  place  of  business.     That  combined  with  courteous  treatment,  has

THE 


Michigan 
Calendar 


FOR  1908 


ONLY  25cts 


THIS  Annual  Souvenir  has  just  been 
issued  from  the  press,  cfritics  are 
unanimous  in  the  statement  that  it 
eclipses  all  former  efforts  in  Calendar  making 
for  alumni  and  students  of  the  University. 


Our  1907  Calendar  was  the  most  successful 
we  have  ever  published.  The  original  edi- 
tion of  fifteen  hundred  copies  were  sold  long 
before  the  holiday  season.  An  extra  edition 
of  700  copies  was  ordered,  and  every  Calendar 
was  sold  before  Christmas  day. 

Tliree  Tlioiisaiid  Copies  of  the  1908  Calendar  have  been  ordered.  The  price 
quoted  is  just  half  the  amount  ordinarily  asked  for  this  annual  publication. 

The  Michigan  Calendar  this  year  presents  the  twelve  months  of  the  year  on  six  separate 
plates,  each  plate  presenting  a  design  drawn  by  J.  H.  Meier,  an  artist  who  has  done  consider- 
able work  for  the  Michiganensian,  and  who  is  now  attending  the  Chicago  Art  Institute.  A 
panel  on  each  plate  contains  large  single  views  and  groups  of  the  Campus  printed  in  golden 
sepia.  This  plan  of  arrangement  is  a  great  improvement  over  former  years.  A  reproduction 
of  the  cover  is  presented  herewith. 

,  A  copy  of  the  1908  Calendar  will  be  sent,  neatly  boxed,  to  any  address  in  the  United  States 
for  Only  2S  Cents.    Tostage  3c  extra. 

In  ordering  please  use  the  appended  coupon.     Address  all  orders  to

PAYS    rOWL    A    COPY    OF 

TKe  JLfBkTw  of 
Piiva^iiLCial  Success 

By  EDWARD  E.  BEALS. 
An  absolutely  neiv  departure  along  tUs  line  ol  thought 

All  progress — whether  physical,  mental,  moral,  spiritual  or  FINANCIAL — is  based  on 
LAW.  And  he  who  wins  success  in  any  line  does  so  because  he  has  followed  the  LAW 
or  LAWS  pertaining  to  his  business,  v/hether  he  does  it  consciously  or  unconsciously. 

Some  of  the  great  "Captains  of  Industry"  who  have  won  marvelous  success  in  financial 
affairs,  and  for  whom  we  have  no  great  admiration,  are  miserable  failures  as  moral  and 
•spiritual  beings.  But  they  have  won  great  FINANCIAL  SUCCESS  because  they  concen- 
trated on  that  alone  to  the  e.Kclusion  of  all  other  kinds. 

What  the  most  of  us  want  is  all  round  success,  but  we  must  remember  that  no  one  can 
\ye  an  all  round  success  without  FINANCIAL  INDEPENDENCE.  No  matter  how  much 
jrood  a  person  may  want  to  do,  he  is  handicapped  by  a  lack  of  money.  All  the  air-castles 
he  has  built ;  all  the  beautiful  plans  he  has  created ;  all  the  cherished  desires  to  do  good  go 
unfulfilled  because  there  is  no  money  to  complete  them. 

But  these  air-castles  can  become  real  buildings;  these  plans  can  become  realities;  these 
great  desires  can  be  fulfilled.     The  question  is,  "How  to  do  it?" 

The  writer  has  seen  the  need  for  several  years,  among  Advanced  Thought  circles,  of  a 
hook  to  answer  this  question.  In  his  own  life  he  has  found  that  FINANCIAL  SUCCESS 
is  not  a  matter- of  grind  and  rush  and  fight  and  struggle.  It  is  a  matter  of  getting  m 
harmotiy  with  the  LAW  and  then  following  the  LAW  to  its  logical  conclusion.  He  has 
placed  this  information  in  the  book,  **The  Law  of  Financial  Success."  In  it  he  states 
the  LAW,  shows  how  to  get  in  harmony  with  it,  and  then  gives  specific  instructions  for 
keeping  in  the  closest  possible  touch  with  the  powers  that  be  in  the  WORLD  OF  FINANCE. 
This  hook  is  no  magic  scheme  to  make  you  rich  over  night,  neither  is  it  a  story  of  what 
other  men  have  done.  '  Just  a  plain,  simple  statement  of  truths  that  all  can  understand 
and  put  into  practice  by  a  little  thought  and  study.     Here  are  the  chapter  heads : 

1.  Money  6.  Ambition  12.  Concentration 

2.  Mental  Attitude  7.  Desire  IS.  Persistence 
S.  Fear  and  Worry         8.  WIU  Power               14.  Habit 

4.  Faith  9.  Auto-Suggesllon     Iff.  Claiming  Your  Own      ^^ 

5.  Latent  Powers  10.  Harmony  16.  Making  Money  ^^ 

11.  Creation  ^^ 

Whether  rich  or  poor,  successful  or  unsuccessful — it  matters  not — this  book  will^^r 
be  of  great  value  to  you.     If  you  are  a  natural  money-maker,  perhaps  you  have^^r 
been  using  the  LAW  unconsciously.    This  book  will  tell  you  how  to  handle  it^^r  . 
consciously.     If  you  are  uns^uccessful  and  money  seems  to  come  hard,  it  will  ^^r 
guide  your  thought  and  actions  into  the  proper  channels  where  you  will  ^|^  '^'^'^ 

get  the  highest  possible  results.  ^^^     FIDUCIARY 

"The  Law  of  Financial  SrccEss"  combines  theory  with  practical  ,^^k^  PRESS,

A  Word  to  Seniors 

Here  Are  Some  Fadts  Which  Should 

Interest  You 

Those  who  are  able  to  teach  their  special^,  whether  language,  sdeiice, 
mathematics,  history,  English,  IxxMckeeping,  or  any  other  of  the  ordin- 
ary High  School  branches,  and  can  also  give  instruction  in  Shorthand 
and  Typewriting,  are  easily  able  to  command 

From  25  to  30  Per  Cent  Larger  Salaries 

than  ther  could  without  preparation  to  teach  these  subjects.  The  teach- 
era  we  placed  in  High  Schools  for  the  present  year  averaged  as  follows: 

MEN  ...  $97.50  per  Month 

'WOMEN         .  .  .  '  $82.00  per  Month 

In  almost  evei^  case  these  salaries  are  to  be  increased  next  year. 
Without  an  exception,  every  Univeraity  and  Normal  student  who  took 
our  course  secured  a  good  position. 

Do  These  Facts  Interest  You? 

If  so,  call  at  the  School  of  Shorthand,  711  North  University  Avenue,  and 
let  us  tell  you  more  about  this  work.  This  school  is  the  only  one  in  the 
country  giving  a  thorough  course  for  the  special  training  of  teachera  of 
Shorthand  for  High  School  Work.  This  course  is  given  by  the  princi- 
pal, SS]:3Y  A.  MoRAN,  a  teacher  of  many  years  of  successful  experience 
as  head  of  the  department  of  Shorthand  and  Typewriting  in  the  Ann 
Arbor  High  School  and  who  is,  therefore,  thonn^^y  familiar  with  the 
requirements  of  such  work  in  the  better  class  of  high  schools. 

By  special  arrangement,  all  who  take  our  complete  course  are  en- 
titled to  all  the  benefits  of  membership  in  the  Ann  Arbor  Teachers'

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[December 


paniment  that  its  bearing  is  all  too 
apt  to  be  overlooked  and  obscured  in 
the  heat  of  controversy?  The  Ai,um- 
Nus  for  one,  feels  that  football,  like 
the  poor,  we  are  liable  to  have  with 
us  for  some  years  to  come.  We  do 
not  believe  that  the  question  is  to  be 
solved  by  abolishing  the  game,  and 
with  due  respect  to  some  of  our  con- 
temporaries, we  feel  that  such  a 
course  is  an  evasion  of  a  real  question 
that  cries  for  settlement.  C  As  con- 
cerning the  Pennsylvania  game  on 
Nov.  1 6,  we  have  nothing  to  say,  save 
that  the  better  team  won,  and  that  the 
score  shows  fairly  the  respective 
merits  of  the  two  teams.  Michigan 
fought  a  game  battle  with  a  dogged 
resistance  and  pluck  which  kept  her 
fighting  to  the  very  last  of  the  second 
half,  when  she  played  her  best,  that 
made  every  Michigan  man  proud  of 
his  team.  And  the  thrill  played  a 
nervous  tune  upon  our  back-bone 
when  Michigan  rose  at  the  end  of  the 
game  and  sang  the  Yellow  and  Blue, 
every  verse,  and  cheered  Pennsyl- 
vania; but  proportionately  were  we 
cast  down  by  the  profitless  discussion, 
which  followed  the  game,  concerning 
the  decisions  of  Referee  Murphy.  We 
hope  for  a  more  general  diffusion 
of  the  better-luck-next-time  spirit. 
Meanwhile,  as  always  heretofore,  we 
are  "rooting"  for  a  return  to  the  Con- 
ference and  the  amicable  adjustment 
which  we  believe  is  possible,  with  our 
whilom  dear  enemies  of  the  West, — 
Chicago,  Wisconsin,  and  Illinois. 

Below  we  reprint  in 
THE  PRO  FES-     part  an  editorial  from 
SIGNAL  COACH  the    Detroit    Journal 
of  the  issue  of  Nov. 
21,  which,  on  the  whole,  we  can  com- 
mend to  our    readers    as    food    for 
thought.      In    common    with    many 
good    authorities    we    have    always 
disapproved  of  professional  coaching 
in  collegiate  athletics,  and  have  had 
its  ultimate  abolition  as  a  more  or  less 
definite  ideal.  Would  we  could  all  give 


ourselves  pause  and  permit  ourselves 
to  stop  and  think  out  just  how  incom- 
patible is  this  system  with  the  real 
and  true  college  life,  and  academic 
ideals.  For  what  end  are  we  in  col- 
lege? A  candid  answer  to  this,  or  a 
similar  question  may  illuminate  the 
situation  for  some.  So  we  rather 
welcome  this  presumed  ex  parte  state- 
ment of  a  question  of  which  we  are 
all  conscious.  C  Let  it  be  said  im- 
mediately, however,  that  once  grant- 
ing we  have  a  professional  coach,  we 
have  the  best  professional  coach  in 
the  country,  and  we  are  in  disagree- 
ment \vith  the  writer's  view  upon  Mr. 
Yost's  knowledge  of  the  new  game. 
We  believe  he  did  know  it,  as  was 
undoubtedly  proved  in  several  in- 
stances in  the  second  half  of  the  Penn- 
sylvania game,  but  he  was  hampered 
by  a  lack  of  experience  on  the  part 
of  the  team,  both  in  point  of  years 
of  play  and  in  previous  work  the  pres- 
ent season.  And  finally  we  believe  most 
firmly  in  the  morale  and  the  clean 
sportsmanship  for  which  Mr.  Yost  has 
always  stood,  and  which  goes  far 
toward  compensating  for  the  anoma- 
lous position  which  he  holds  in  the 
University.  Following  is  a  portion 
of  the  editorial  which,  in  discussing 
the  aftermath  of  the  Pennsylvania 
game,  says: 

Two  conclusions  at  least  are  obvious. 
The  Michigan  teams  of  1907  and  1906,  play- 
ing under  the  new  rules,  played  exceed- 
ingly poor  football,  in  spite  of  the  high 
price  paid  for  their  training.  The  other 
conclusion  is  that  the  time  is  approaching 
when  Michigan  athletic  teams  must  be 
taught  Michigan  methods,  Michigan  spirit, 
Michigan  traditions  and  Michigan  honor, 
without  the  intermedation  of  the  paid  pro- 
fessional coach. 

There  is  and  should  be  no  dissatisfaction 
with  Fielding  H.  Yost  He  has  perfected 
some  remarkable  football  teams  for  Mich- 
igan. Apparently  he  is  not  master  of  the 
condition  bom  of  the  new  rules,  but  to 
these  rules  he  will  doubtless  in  time  re- 
adjust his  theories.  These  new  rules,  by 
the  way,  put  a  premium  upon  distinctive 
individual  ability.  They  make  it  difficult, 
even  impossible,  for  one  man,  however  ex- 
perienced and  astute,  to  coach  11  men  for

II  positions.  He  must  have  the  assistance 
of  coaches  who  have  specialized.  Mr.  Yost 
has  refused  the  assistance  of  alumni  in 
coaching  football  teams.  In  this  he  has 
probablv  been  justified.  Professional  coach- 
ing and  alumni  coaching  are  clearly  incom- 
patible. But  has  Midiigan  not  attained 
the  dignity,  prestige  and  independence  to 
coach  her  own  athletic  teams,  even  as 
Oxford,  Cambridge,  Harvard,  Yale  and 
Princeton  teach  the  spirit,  honor-code  and 
methods  of  their  respective  athletic  schools  ? 
Has  Michigan  admittedly  not  outgrown 
that  class  of  colleges  which  must  have 
their  athletics  supervised  financially  and 
directed  intensively  by  men  who  have  ab- 
solutely no  interest  in  the  institution  other 
than  the  size  and  perpetuation  of  their 
salaries? 

Midiigan  in  1899  had  the  courage  to  in- 
still alumni  coaching,  although  paid.  Mich- 
igan was  beaten,  and  the  cry  for  victory 
howled  down  a  worthy  effort  toward  re- 
form. The  trouble  with  Michigan's  ath- 
letics, as  it  is  the  trouble  with  Chicago, 
Minnesota  and  Wisconsin's  athletics,  is  die 
well-organized  and  successful  effort  to 
make  gentlemen's  sport  a  lucrative  public 
attraction.  Two  years  hence  let  us  see  if 
Michigan  alumni,  Michigan  faculty  and 
Michigan  regents  have  the  courage  to  re- 
shape their  unwholesome  and  unnatural 
system  and  put  Michigan  athletics  upon 
the  proper  basis  of  gentlemanly  sport,  ab- 
solutely pure,  and  directed  for  the  patron- 
age of  undergraduates  and  alumni  alone. 


It  IS  with  great  sat- 
THB  MICHIGAN  isfaction  that  we 
UNION  OPEN  chronicle  the  opening 
of  the  Michigan  Un- 
ion Club  House — a  dream  long  in  the 
minds  of  many — at  last  come  true. 
We  have  pointed  out  its  inadequacy 
before,  but  such  as  it  is,  we  believe 
that  it  will  justify  its  existence  im- 
mediately. In  fact,  we  may  almost 
say  that  it  has  done  so  already.  The 
annual  dues  are  but  $2.50  a  year  for 
students,  alumni,  and  Faculty,  placed 
low  purposely  to  bring  it  within  the 
reach  of  everyone.  In  addition  to 
this,  however,  a  life  membership  has 
been  established  at  $50,  which  we 
commend  to  every  alumnus  who  is 
interested  in  what  we  believe  is  the 
most  vital  movement  that  has  touched 
the  student  bodv  at  Michigan  for 
many  years.   C  The  building  was  for- 


mally opened  on  Thursday  evening, 
Nov.  14,  two  days  before  the  Pennsyl- 
vania game,  and  since  then  hardly  a 
day  has  passed  but  that  some  organi- 
zation has  held  a  dinner  in  one  of  the 
Union's  beautiful  dining  rooms. 
Classes  and  societies  have  seized  the 
opportunity  and  have  recognized  im- 
mediately the  practical  availability  of 
the  Union  in  what  everyone  has  ac- 
knowledged to  be  a  long  felt  want. 
We  publish  opposite  page  90  a  re- 
production of  a  photograph  of  the  in- 
terior of  the  dining  room,  which  will 
give  some  idea  of  the  changes  which 
have  been  inaugurated  in  Judge  Cool- 
ey's  old  home.  The  prevailing  tones 
in  the  decoration  are  a  rich  brown  re- 
lieved by  gold.  C  With  the  Club  House 
thus  completed  and  with  its  final  en- 
trance into  the  University  world  of 
affairs,  we  are  not  sure  but  that  the 
real  work  of  the  Directors  of  the  Un- 
ion just  begins.  Many  perplexing 
problems  are  now  before  them,  and 
new  responsibilities  are  arising  every 
day.  We  feel  that  the  Union  is  a 
cause  which  should  inspire  every 
alumnus  who  has  visions  for  his  Alma 
Mater  and  is  in  sympathy  with  the 
broader,  truer,  and  more  significant 
interpretation  of  her  real  function, 
the  moulding  and  inspiring  of  the  un- 
dergraduate life,  which  is  passing 
within  the  shelter  of  her  walls. 

Now  that  the  Union 
SOMETHING  is  fairly  under  wav 
BLSBWBNBBD  and  we  have  a  Club 
House,  inadequate, 
it  is  true,  but  sufficient  to  evidence 
its  own  inadequacy  and  to  show  how 
necessary  is  the  Club  House  of  the 
future,  we  can  turn  our  eyes  towards 
some  of  the  other  things  sorely  need- 
ed by  our  student  body.  With  prob- 
ably no  exception,  our  undergraduate 
life  is  the  largest  in  the  country  cen- 
tering upon  the  one  Campus,  and 
many  problems  are  upon  us,  toward 
the  settlement  of  which  other  univer- 
sities have  blazed,  in  part,  the  way.

Our  discussion  last  month  of  the  com- 
ing demands  for  dormitories  or  their 
equivalent  residential  halls,  draws  to 
our  minds  logically  enough  another 
requirement  of  the  future  even  more 
pressing  and  of  equal  possibilities  for 
the  University.  We  refer  to  what  is 
known  elsewhere  as  a  student  com- 
mons, or  g^reat  dining  hall.  C  The 
laissez-faire  policy,  which  in  the  past 
has  been  consistently  maintained  in 
the  relations  between  University  and 
student,  as  a  definite  and  necessar>' 
modus  operandi,  is,  we  venture  to 
say,  becoming  fiinally  outgrown.  In 
popular  phrase,  it  is  time  the  Univer- 
sity "sat  up  and  took  notice"  with 
eyes  open  to  the  significance  of  small- 
er things,  which  in  the  aggregate,  to 
some  of  us  loom  large.  The  course  of 
student  life  might  be  allowed  to  run  as 
heretofore — ^perhaps — ^but  not  to  the 
final  credit  or  advantage  of  the  Uni- 
versity. Even  a  slight  experience 
with  Ann  Arbor  student  life  will  con- 
vince one  that  often,  all  too  often, 
the  undergraduate  goes  underfed,  al- 
though quite  probably  he  fails  to  real- 
ize the  hardship  of  his  own  case.  But 
there  are  some  with  sufficient  exper- 
ience of  a  larger  world  who  have  a 
vision  of  a  possible  life  better  than 
that  vouchsafed  by  the  average  Ann 
Arbor  boarding  house.  Indeed,  the 
large  waiting  list  in  all  of  the  better 
class  boarding  houses,  alone,  sufficeth 
to  tell  the  tale.  We  do  not  wish  to 
assume  the  position  of  one  too  solici- 
tous of  material  comforts,  but  we  do 
believe  that  the  well-sheltered  and 
well-fed  undergraduate  will  turn  with 
greater  zest  toward  that  which  is  after 
all  the  real  business  of  Ann  Arbor 
student  life. 

In  advocating  student 
A  STUDENT      commons,  we  do  not 
COMMONS       feel  that  we  are  do- 
ing so  upon  altruistic 
grounds,  —  quite   the   contrary.     We 
believe    that    such    an    undertaking 


could  be  made  practical  and  even  of- 
fer financial  returns  to  the  Univer- 
sity, with  reasonable  certainty.  Nat- 
urally enough,  however,  it  will  not  be 
without  its  own  difficulties.  The  in- 
itiative, we  feel,  should  come  properly 
from  the  students.  It  will  be  easier 
to  establish  when  there  is  a  strong  and 
intelligent  student  demand  for  it. 
Randall  and  Memorial  Halls  at  Har- 
vard, serving  meals  to  2,000  students, 
are  run  entirely  by  boards  elect- 
ed by  the  students,  and  such  an  un- 
dertaking, once  the  preliminary  steps 
are  taken,  would  not  be  difficult  here. 
C  In  the  first  place,  it  is  a  matter  of 
education.  We  might  canvas  the 
question  in  the  student  journals,  and 
a  committee  might  be  elected  at  one 
of  the  mass  meetings,  which  would 
take  the  whole  question  under  serious 
advisement  and  solicit  the  interest  of 
the  Regents  and  Faculty.  Naturally, 
undertakings  of  the  same  sort  in  oth- 
er universities  should  be  carefully 
studied  and  the  results  adapted  to  our 
own  local  conditions.  It  is  possible 
that  a  suitable  building  might  be  pro- 
vided by  the  University  as  an  invest- 
ment if  an  adequate  return  were  guar- 
anteed, and  there  is  no  reason  why 
it  should  not  be  profitable  with  the 
field  for  such  an  undertaking  that 
Aim  Arbor  offers  at  the  present  time. 
The  fact  that  the  University  would  in 
a  measure  be  behind  the  undertaking, 
and  that  there  would  be  no  margin  of 
profit  should  guarantee  something  far 
better  than  we  have  had  heretofore, 
and  should  interest  every  student  im- 
mediately. Once  under  way  and 
aside  from  these  considerations  the 
very  size  of  such  a  commons,  with 
anywhere  from  500  to  a  possible  2,000 
at  the  tables,  would  insure  better  fare 
at  a  lower  rate  than  any  student 
boarding  house  could  possibly  fur- 
nish.

EVENT  AND  COMMENT 


«» 


This  is  a  little  mes- 
A  MB88AGB  sage  to  every  alum- 
TO  ALUMNI     nus  as  an  individual, 

in  which  the  editor 
unburdens  himself.  We  have  a  sus- 
picion that  The  Alumnus  is  not  do- 
ing all  that  it  might  to  keep  the 
alumni  awake  to  all  that  is  passing 
in  Ann  Arbor.  We  have  high  ideals 
as  to  the  function  of  this  magazine, 
and  we  ask  an  especial  sort  of  support 
from  the  alumni.  We  are  not  speak- 
ing of  finances,  nor  of  a  word  of  en- 
couragement now  and  then;  though 
occasionally  a  message  comes  from 
some  appreciative  soul  which  radiates 
a  genial  effulgence  about  the  editor- 
ial chair  and  makes  the  editor  feel 
that  his  efforts  are  not  in  vain.  Aside 
from  these  always  welcome  messages, 
however,  there  is  most  generally  a 
great  silence.  C  It  is  not  that  we 
are  asking  for  commendation,  we  even 
welcome  words  of  criticism  as  long 
as  they  show  that  some  one  is  think- 
ing and  appreciating  the  possibilities 
of  our  work.  We  of  the  General 
Association  are  doing  our  best,  and 
are  following  a  little  motto  which  we 
find  so  generally  upon  everyone  else's 
desk,  that  we  have  left  it  off  our  own ; 
"Don't  worry."  Yet  we  should  like 
a  voice  from  the  void  occasionally  on 
questions  that  must  be  interesting  you 
and  the  editor,  as  alumni  of  this  great 
University.  C  We  have  elsewhere  a 
place  in  The  Alumnus  devoted  to 
meetings  of  the  alumni  and  to  com- 
munications from  individuals,  but  we 
find  that  if  there  is  anything  to  be  pub- 
lished in  this  department  it  is  usually 
elicited  by  personal  effort.  This  question 
is  perhaps  just  a  little  hobby  of  the 
editor,  yet  we  should  like  to  be  kept 
in  closer  touch  with  individual  alumni 
and  local  Alumni  Associations.  The 
possibilities  of  the  latter,  as  organiza- 
tions for  service  to  the  University  are 
almost  measureless,  and  their  great 
services  to  the  University  already 
make  us  desire  a  greater  usefulness 
for  them.    So  we  should  like  to  have 


reports  from  them  more  generally 
sent  in  as  a  matter  of  coarse,  and 
without  solicitation,  and  vifi  shouki 
like  an  occasional  message  from  in- 
dividuals asking  for  information  or 
presenting  some  alumni  views  on  the 
numerous  questions  before  us,  to  be 
published  in  the  alumni  department; 
or  even  a  friendly  criticism  which  we 
shall  try  to  meet  With  a  happy  smile 
and  sufficient  forbearance.  But  until 
we  have  such  a  habit  as  this  inaugu- 
rated, we  shall  hardly  feel  that  The 
Alumnus  is  doing  its  whole  duty. 


AN  ADVBR. 
TISBMBNT 


The  University  re- 
cently published  a 
volume  that  should 
be  in  the  hands  of 
every  Michigan  man.  We  refer  to 
the  History  of  the  University,  which 
was  written  by  the  late  Professor 
Burke  A.  Hinsdale,  suf^lemented 
with  biographical  sketches  and  por- 
traits of  the  Regents  and  members 
of  the  Faculty  under  the  editorial 
supervision  of  Professor  Isaac  N. 
Demmon.  Ordinarily  we  do  not  be- 
lieve in  undertaking  anything  in  the 
way  of  advertising  through  our  edi- 
torial columns,  but  we  feel  that  this 
book  is  of  exceptional  value  for  every- 
one who  is  interested  in  the  Univer- 
sity, and  the  sale  has  not  proved  what 
we  believe  it  might  have  been.  It  has 
been  found  difficult  for  the  University 
to  bring  this  volume  properly  before 
the  alumni  of  the  University,  and  we 
are  glad  to  add  our  word  to  help  it 
along.  C  Dr.  Angell  has  commended 
it  in  the  following  words:  "Regard- 
ed as  a  piece  of  historical  writing, 
Professor  Hinsdale's  work  in  this  vol- 
ume is  masterly.  With  remarkable 
skill,  in  his  first  two  chapters  on  the 
early  history  of  Michigan  and  of  the 
beginnings  of  its  educational  develop- 
ment, he  gives  us  an  appropriate 
background  for  his  picture  of  the 
founding  and  development  of  the  Uni- 
versity. .  .  .  The  alumni  and  friends

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[December 


of  the  University  owe  a  debt  of  grati- 
tude to  Professors  Hinsdak  and  Dem- 
mon  for  the  preparation  of  this  vol- 
ume. For  thdir  sake,  and  for  that  of 
the  University,  it  is  hoped  that  it  will 
have  a  wide  circulation."  <[  Ar- 
rangement has  been  made  with  the 
University  authorities  whereby  tliis 
book  and  The  Michigan  Alumnus 
can  be  secured  for  one  year  for  the 
price  of  the  book,  $5.00,  or  if  the  half 
morocco  binding  be  desired,  $6.50. 
This  v'ill  apply  on  renewals,  as  well 
as  new  subscriptions,  and  we  earnestly 
hope  thai  this  will  prove  an  attractive 
opportunity  to  many  alumni,  who  wish 
to  learn  more  of  the  past  o£  their 
Alma  Mater. 


THE  BOARD  IN  CONTROL  OF 
ATHLETICS 

Notwithstanding  the  fact  that  we 
gave  some  space  to  what  hdi^  been 
known  as  the  "athletic  situation"  in 
the*  last  number  of  The  Alumnus, 
we  find  that  we  must  needs  open  our 
columns  for  further  discussion.  While 
some  may  consider  this  consideration 
of  the  University's  athletic  policies  as 
somewhat  an  over  emphasis  of  that 
which  is  really  subsidiary;  we  feel 
ourselves  justified  by  the  seriousness 
of  the  situation,  and  by  the  fact  that 
deeper  questions  than  those  of  ath- 
letic policy  are  involved.  We  refer, 
of  course,  to  the  moot  question  as  to 
whether  the  final  word  in  athletics 
shall  rest  definitely  with  the  Regents 
or  with  the  Faculty ;  whether  athletics 
shall  be  viewed  from  a  purely  busi- 
ness or  from  an  academic  point  of 
view. 

We  believe  that  the  Regents  are 
reluctant  to  involve  themselves  too 
deeply  in  this  question  and  that  under 
certain  conditions  they  would  be  satis- 
fied with  Faculty  control.  These  con- 
ditions the  Regents  have  set  forth  in 
a  set  of  resolutions  which  took  the 
place  of  those  published  last  month, 
which  were  rescinded  at  the  Novem- 


ber meeting.  It  will  be  remembered 
that  under  those  rules,  as  published, 
there  were  to  be  two  undergraduate 
representatives,  an  alumni  member, 
and  the  Professor  of  Physical  Culture, 
and  four  members  elected  by  the  vari- 
ous Faculties.  The  new  resolution, 
which  is  a  modification  of  the  first 
legislation,  reads  as  follows: 

Resolved:  That  the  Board  of  Regents 
create  a  Board  in  Control  of  Athletics,  the 
scope  and  duties  of  said  Board  to  be  after- 
wards defined. 

Resolved:  That  it  is  the  sense  of  the 
Board  of  Regents  that  the  Board  in  Con- 
trol of  Athletics  shall  be  responsible  to  the 
teaching  force  of  the  University  and  that 
Faculty  control  be  preserved  by  means  of 
a  majoritv  representation  of  Faculty  mem- 
bers on  the  said  Board  in  Control  of  Ath- 
letics, 

Resolved:  That  this  Board  of  Control 
be  composed  of  eight  members  as  follows: 
That  the  Professor  of  Physical  Training 
and  director  of  Waterman  Gymnasium  be 
a  member;  that  four  Faculty  members,  one 
each  from  the  following  Faculties — Liter- 
ary, Law,  Engineering,  and  Medical,  Hom- 
oeopathic, Dental  and  Pharmacy  jointly,  be 
appointed  by  their  respective  Deans  in 
conjunction  with  the  President;  that  one 
graduate  member  be  appointed  by  the 
Directors  of  the  Alumni  Association,  and 
two  undergraduate  members  be  appointed 
by  the  Student  Athletic  Board,  and  that 
the  Board  so  constituted  be  confirmed  by 
the  Board  of  Regents, 

Resolved  :  That  this  Board  be  organized 
by  December  first  next  and  each  year  there- 
after. 

Now  that  the  Regents  have  settled 
upon  a  plan  for  the  modification  of 
the  Board  in  Control,  which  promises 
some  possibility  of  a  practical  work- 
ing basis,  the  solution  of  the  problem 
appears  to  rest  largely  with  the  Fac- 
ulty. Above  all  things,  we  hope  that 
the  new  Board  will  be  chosen  to  work 
in  harmony.  That  is  the  first  essen- 
tial, and  we  are  inclined  to  believe 
that  under  the  circumstances,  this  can 
be  procured  more  easily  by  this  second 
method  of  appointment  than  by  the 
first.  The  situation  however,  it  must 
be  confessed,  is  not  entirely  cleared  yet 
and  there  are  some  important  ques- 
tions as  to  the  exact  status  of  the  new

Board,  which  will  have  to  be  settled 
eventually.  It  is  current  report  that 
the  Regents  declined  to  give  the  final 
authority  definitely  to  the  University 
Senate,  although,  in  the  words  of  the 
resolution  as  given  above,  the  Board 
in  Control  of  Athletics  is  to  be  re- 
sponsible to  the  "teaching  force  of  the 
University."  How  this  shall  be  ac- 
complished without  reference  to  the 
University  Senate,  the  only  complete 
organization  of  the  teaching  force,  re- 
mains to  be  seen. 


MICHIGAN  MEN  IN  THE  CONSTITU- 
UIONAL  CONVENTION 

As  documentary  evidence  of  the 
value  of  the  University  to  the  State, 
we  publish  herewith  a  list  of  Michi- 

gan  men,  who  are  delegates  to  the 
onstitutional  Convention,  now  in  ses- 
sion at  Lansing.  This  body  is  ac- 
knowledged to  be  the  assembly  most 
representative  of  the  best  the  State 
of  Michigan  has  to  offer  which  has 
perhaps  ever  met,  and  it  is  gratifying 
to  note  that  forty-four  of  the  ninety- 
six  delegates  are  former  students  at 
the  University  and  of  these  thirty- 
seven  hold  degrees.  Included  in  this 
number  is  one  Regent  of  the  Univer- 
sity, Levi  L.  Barteur,  '63,  and  aside 
from  these,  the  Faculty  is  represented 
by  one  member,  John  A.  Fairlie,  Pro- 
fessor of  Administrative  Law.  With 
the  exception  of  two  or  three,  every 
district  is  represented  by  one  or  two 
Michigan  alumni.  In  the  second, 
twenty-first  and  twenty-seventh  three

THE  FOURTH  ANNUAL  UNION  BANQUET 
NOVEMBER  15,1907 


With  a  larger  number  seated  at  the 
long  tables  in  Waterman  Gymnasium 
than  ever  before,  over  950  in  all,  the 
fourth  annual  dinner  of  the  Michigan 
Union,  held  November  15,  proved  a 
great  success.  The  menu  varied  little 
from  those  of  previous  dinners,  and 
included  the  usual  half  chicken  for 
every  person  present.  The  dinner  was 
served  for  the  Union  by  the  manager 
of  the  Union  Club  House,  which  had 
been  opened  only  two  days  before, 
and  everything  was  cooked  in  the 
Union's  own  kitchen.  Although  the 
committee  had  expected  but  900 
guests  at  the  tables,  there  were  over 
950  present  and  this  additional  num- 
ber necessitated  some  rapid  readjust- 
ments, which  were  made,  however, 
with  only  a  very  short  delay. 

After  the  dinner  had  been  served, 
President  Angel!  rose  to  introduce  the 
toastmaster,  the  Hon.  Charles  Amette 
Towne,  formerly  Senator  from  Minn- 
esota and  recently  Congressman  from 
New  York.    Dr.  Angell  said: 


Gentlemen  of  the  Michigan  Union: 

It  is  under  happy  conditions  that  we  meet 
here  this  evening.  The  presence  of  this  great 
company  of  graduates  and  undergraduates 
shows  how  deep  is  the  affection  and  inter- 
est already  existing  for  this  Michigan 
Union.  We  meet  under  two  especially 
favorable  encouragements  tonight: 

Last  year  the  Michigan  Union  had  a 
name,  but  no  local  habitation.  Tonight  the 
Union  has  not  only  a  name,  but  a  home, — 
a  home  endeared  to  us  by  the  memory  of 
that  learned  professor  and  eminent  jurist. 
Judge  Cooley,  who  so  long  was  at  the  head 
of  the  Law  Department  of  this  University, 
the  memory  of  whom  is  deeply  cherished 
by  every  man  who  had  the  good  fortune 
to  come  under  his  instruction.  I  think  it 
may  be  said  that  he  touched  more  of  the 
graduates  of  this  Universitw  personally 
during  the  five  and  twenty  years  of  service 
in  the  Law  Department  than  any  other  pro- 
fessor who  has  sat  upon  the  Faculty,  and 
wherever  you  find  a  man  who  has  had  the 
good  fortune  to  be  under  his  influence  you 
find  one  who  reveres  his  memory.  There- 
fore, I  think  it  is  well  that  that  old  home 
of  his  has  furnished  a  home  for  the  Union ; 
and  that  something  of  the  benign  influence 
of  that  gentle  and  lovable  and  great  man 
may  fall  upon  every  young  man  who  comes 
within  its  portals.  No  better  fortune  could 
come  to  any  youth.  If  the  Judge  could  have 
looked  forward  to  this  day  he  would  have

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[December 


desired  that  it  might  be  the  home 
of  the  coming  young  men  of  this  great 
University;  for  he  loved  young  men  and 
it  was  his  delight  to  do  whatever  he  could 
for  them.  I  congratulate  the  association 
upon  this  good  fortune  at  the  very  outset 
of  its  career. 

And  again  we  have  another  gift  of 
good  fortune  tonight, — ^namely,  in  the  pres- 
ence of  our  toastmaster,  who  has  come 
seven  hundred  miles  to  give  us  the  pleas- 
ure of  his  society. 

It  is  said  that  seven  cities  claim  to  be 
the  place  of  birth  and  the  home  of  the 
great  poet  Homer,  and  it  is  very  doubtful 
if  he  was  bom  in  any  of  them.  Three 
great  states  claim  an  interest  in  the  life 
of  our  toastmaster  tonight,  and  he  is  still 
a  young  man, — the  great  commonwealth  of 
Minnesota,  which  he  represented  with  such 
dignity  and  ability  in  the  United  States 
Senate ;  the  great  state  of  New  York,  whose 
affairs  he  attended  to  in  the  lower  house 
of  Congress;  and,  especially  the  State  of 
Michigan,  which  has  the  honor  of  giving 
him  birth  and  collegiate  education. 

I  might  almost  say  that  a  fourth  nation 
holds  still  another  daim  upon  him,  for  I 
have  lately  learned  that  the  King  of  Korea 
had  called  him  to  become  official  advisor 
in  public  affairs.  Unhappily,  however,  for 
the  King  of  Korea,  the  Japs  got  there  a 
little  too  early  for  him,  and  the  King  went 
out  of  business.  Otherwise,  I  should  intro- 
duce him  as  the  prime  minister  of  Korea. 
However,  I  have  reason  to  believe  that 
intimacy  with  the  Korean  language  has  not 
deprived  him  of  his  ability  to  use  his 
mother  tongue. 

I  take  great  pleasure  in  presenting  to  you, 
as  toastmaster  of  the  evening,  the  Honor- 
able C  A.  Towne,  of  New  York. 

Mr.  Towne  then  spoke  in  part  as 
follows : 

Dr.  Angell,  fellow  alumni,  and  undergradu- 
uates  of  the  University: 

A  consideration  of  this  very  interesting 
assemblage  carries  to  me  no  small  degree 
of  embarrassment  in  respect  to  the  precise 
and  proper  form  in  which  I  should  address 
you.  It  is  an  infinite  happiness  almost  for 
me  to  be  with  you  tonight  I  am  somewhat 
moved  by  the  terms  which  the  President 
has  used  in  presenting  me  to  you.  It  has 
been  my  experience  that  it  was  the  business 
of  the  toastmaster  to  introduce  other  peo- 
ple. His  introduction  of  me  has  been  so 
kind  as  almost  to  make  impossible  a  fitting 
rejoinder  to  it. 

I  have  had  occasion,  in  recent  years,  to 
travel  extensively  in  various  parts  of  the 
land  and  everywhere  I  have  been  it  has 
been  a  pleasure  for  me  to  speak  to,  and 


come  in  contact  with,  men  who  have  been 
identified  with  the  University  of  Michigan. 
Whether  I  have  been  in  Europe,  Asia  or 
in  the  islands  of  the  sea,  I  cannot  recall 
one  single  place  where  I  have  not  met 
someone  who  has  not  had  association  with 
the  University.  I  am  told  that  you  have 
an  organization  in  Ann  Arbor  now  known 
as  the  Cosmopolitan  Club,  whose  member- 
ship is  open  to  students  from  foreign  prov- 
inces. This  is  a  most  satisfactory  feature 
of  university  life,  for  it  demonstrates  our 
cosmopolitan  and  democratic  phases. 

Dr.  Angell  has  referred  to  my  connection 
with  the  Korean  government  ...  By 
the  time  I  reached  the  King  of  Korea,  there 
was  no  longer  a  Korean  question.  It  was 
a  Japanese  question, — Japanese  and  Ameri- 
can. Now  Japan  as  a  power  is  to  the 
other  side  of  the  sea  what  America  is  to 
this  side.  The  history  of  the  next  fifty  or 
one  hundred  years  is  to  be  centered  about 
the  Pacific  ocean.  The  growth  of  Japan, 
as  manifested  in  its  geographical  extension 
and  the  increase  of  its  commerce,  holds  an 
immediate  and  personal  interest  for  us. 
Today  there  is  a  Pacific  ocean  separating 
us.  God  grant  that  it  may  remain  such. 
However,  it  will  Uke  the  best  of  diplomacy 
and  management,  and  an  unprecedented 
display  of  self-control  to  avoid  a  clash 
between  the  United  States  and  Japan.  I 
am  no  alarmist  If  a  war  ever  comes  it 
will  be  because  the  deliberative  statesman- 
ship of  one  side  or  another  wants  it  It 
will  not  come  as  the  result  of  an  insult 
extended  to  some  Japanese  subject  in  San 
Francisco,  nor  will  it  result  from  a  street 
brawl  in  Seattle.  Such  an  institution  as 
we  have  here  in  the  University  of  Michigan 
can  do  much  by  creating  an  influence  from 
which  there  shall  flow  a  universal  desire 
for  peace  as  well  as  for  progress.  It  should 
be  tne  organizer  of  an  international  tribunal 
before  which  nations  shall  come  and  sub- 
mit their  cases;  and  cease  to  turn  to  the 
ruthless  arbitrament  of  war. 

Mr.  Towne  read  a  telegram  from 
Mr.  Jerome  Crowley,  *ool,  explaining 
Mr.  Crowley's  absence.  Mr.  Towne 
then  called  upon  Mr.  W.  W.  Wede- 
meyer,  '94,  '95/,  to  respond  to  Mr. 
Crowley's  toast,  "Michigan  Loyalty." 
Mr.  Wedemeyer  spoke  at  length  of 
Michigan  loyalty  as  exhibited  by 
many  distinguished  alunmi.  In  the 
course  of  his  remarks  he  paid 
tribute  to  President  Angell,  the  Deans 
of  the  Dental  and  Forestry  Depart- 
ments, and  the  toastmaster,  Charles 
A.  Towne.

FOURTH  ANNUAL  UNION  BANQUET 


95 


As  the  next  speaker,  Mr.  Towne 
introduced  Frank  G.  Kane,  '08,  who 
spoke  on  "The  Undergraduates  and 
the  Union": 

From  talks  with  those  who  know,  or  at 
least  with  those  who  ought  to  know,  I  am 
led  to  the  belief  that  twice  in  the  life  of 
even  the  hardiest  undergraduate  he  has 
license  to  be  afraid:  once  when  he  rises  to 
speak  to  or  for  a  large  body  of  his  fellows, 
and  again  when  he  is  first  called  on  in 
President  Angcll's  international  law.  The 
latter  is  the  more  completely  overwhelm- 
ing. Now,  when  the  two  causes  for  nerv- 
ousness, the  presence  of  the  President  and 
of  the  large  body  of  students,  are  brought 
together,  how  much  more  earnestly  may 
not  the  undergraduate  claim  the  indulgence 
which  the  world  has  seen  fit  to  extend  the 
student,  since  the  days  when  Zeno  taught 
in  the  painted  porch. 

To  me  it  has  always  seemed  a  pity  that 
the  banqueters  at  feasts  where  I  have  been 
called  upon  to  respond  to  toasts  were  not 
privileged  to  hear  my  real  response.  To- 
night I  know  you  are  not  gomg  to  hear 
it,  no  matter  how  keen  your  ears.  Made 
up  of  nobly-rounded  periods,  expressive  of 
ideas  that  ought  to  be  dwelt  on,  it  is  to 
be  declaimed  in  imagination  before  an  en- 
thusiastic assembly,  also  imaginative,  when 
I  shall  have  resumed  my  seat. 

The  annual  Union  banquet  partakes 
largely  of  the  nature  of  a  round-up,  a  bal- 
ancing of  the  books.  Here  the  three  com- 
ponents of  a  strong  university, — Faculty, 
alumni  and  undergraduate  bodies  meet  to 
render  account  of  the  stewardship  which 
each  bears, — to  review  the  achievements  of 
the  year,  to  view  the  present  tendencies, 
and  to  project  plans  for  the  direct  and 
indirect  strengthening  of  the  University. 
At  such  a  time,  emphasis  must  necessarily 
fall  upon  cooperation.  And,  therefore,  in 
what  I  have  to  say  as  to  the  sentiments  and 
activities  of  the  undergraduate  of  today, 
I  shall  speak  with  reference  to  the  ques- 
tion:   Are  we  doing  our  share? 

Of  late  years  there  has  been  a  leaven 
of  seriousness  in  the  undergraduate's  life 
at  Michigan.  It  has  come  through  his 
gradually  realizing  that  something  or  other, 
some  force  or  other,  was  lacking  in  col- 
lege life  here.  What  the  missing  element 
could  be  he  was  for  a  long  time  at  a  loss 
to  determine.  Until  he  .found  it,  no  such 
effort  as  the  undergraduate  is  today  putting 
forth  with  an  idea  to  strengthening  the 
University  could  possibly  be  made.  He 
had  first  to  be  his  own  philosopher,  think- 
ing out  the  theory  on  which  to  erect  his 
institutional  solution  of  the  problem.  The 
students  were  here.    The. elements  of  dem- 


ocracy were  here.  What,  then,  was  lack- 
mg?  That  organization  which  gives  force 
to  the  freedom  of  the  individuals,  and 
directs  that  force  through  an  inspiring 
rather  than  any  oppressively  formd  insti- 
tution. 

The  plan  of  organization  came  with  the 
formation  of  the  Michigan  Union.  Its 
scheme  was  worked  out  in  the  hopes  for 
and  activities  of  the  Union.  Its  tangible 
manifestation  was  secured  less  than  a  year 
ago  when  the  Union  was  provided  wiUi  a 
home.  Its  future  is  secure,  we  believe, 
because  of  our  ambitions  to  make  that 
organization  permanent,  interesting,  life- 
breathing. 

When  one  comes  to  sum  up  the  activities 
and  benefits  which  the  Union  is  to  embrace, 
he  no  longer   wonders    why    the    under- 

fraduate  concentrates  his  attention  on  it 
o  the  right-minded  student,  it  is  not 
merely  an  institution  to  provide  a  grill- 
room, a  lounging  room,  billiard  tables,  and 
files  with  the  latest  newspapers  and  periodi- 
cals. It  is  to  be  the  center  of  undergrad- 
uate social  life,  the  means  of  expressing 
undergraduate  opinion,  the  medium  through 
which  is  to  be  stimulated  that  desirable 
intercourse  between  teachers  and  pupils  so 
much  needed  in  a  university  where  classes 
are  large  and  the  distance  between  profes- 
sor and  pupil  liable  to  increase. 

Already  we  note  on  the  campus  the  in- 
fluence of  this  institution.  The  college 
publications  are  quick  to  accept  its  dictum 
as  the  verdict  of  the  student  body.  The 
different  honorary  societies  are  tending  to 
sound  its  opinion  on  men  and  measures. 
And  most  of  all  is  its  spirit  to  be  seen  in 
the  more  deliberative  attitude  that  the  stu- 
dent body  is  assuming  on  questions  affect- 
ing the  University. 

I  think  that  we  can  directly  credit  to  the 
Union  the  ever-increasing  sentiment  against 
the  "rah-rah,"  as  he  appears  in  dress,  in 
manner  and  in  speech.  The  same  spirit 
has  led  them  to  be  courageous  but  not 
impertinent  in  the  crises  through  which 
they  have  but  lately  passed  in  the  trend 
and  tone  of  their  athletics.  It  has  led  them 
to  see  that  there  is  something  in  victorious 
athletic  representation,  and  even  more  in 
sound  athletic  representation.  It  has  given 
them  breadth  and  power  enough  to  realize 
the  importance  of  such  features  as  forensic 
contests  with  reference  to  the  prestige  of 
the  University.  It  has  killed  antagonistic 
class  spirit,  and  has  made  other  affiliations 
secondary.  Especially  is  it  teaching  the 
undergraduate  that  as  an  integral  part  of 
the  University  of  Michigan  he  has  obliga- 
tions, as  well  as  rights  and  privileges,  to 
share  with  the  Faculty  and  alumni. 
.  In  other  words,  the  study  of  himself  and 
his  environment  that  called  forth  the  idea

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[December 


and  plan  of  the  Michigan  Union  is  making 
the  Michigan  undergraduate  a  more  capa- 
Ue,  self-reliant,  appreciative,  dignified 
young  man. 

Is  there  any  danger  in  the  trend?  Does 
it  tend  to  make  us  too  much  the  man  and 
too  little  the  youth?  Is  it  robbing  us  of  a 
wholesome  forcefulness  by  making  us  stop 
too  long  to  consider  before  we  act?  Are 
we  in  danger  of  becoming  mollycoddles, 
afraid  of  distinctive  dress,  campus  vernacu- 
lar, and  the  vigorous  enunciation  of  the 
locomotive  yell? 

I  do  not  think  there  is  a  man  here  who 
would  answer  in  the  affirmative.  There 
is  in  the  present-day  undergraduate's  activ- 
ity too  much  opportunity  for  the  inter- 
action of  sound  opinions  on  faulty  judg- 
ments, with  its  resultant  wholesome  con- 
clusion to  admit  of  anything  but  a  sturdier 
college  spirit  of  the  right  type  for  Mich- 
igan. Nothing  better  calls  attention  to  this 
than  the  evident  realization  on  the  part  of 
the  students  that  in  some  things  they  have 
failed,  and  must  yet  put  their  shoulders 
to  the  wheel  for  many  and  many  a  turn 
before  they  have  converted  the  failures 
into  successes. 

But  now  that  we  arc  in  possession  of 
the  institution  through  which  to  work 
effectively,  we  should  be  able  to  gain  the 
desired  ends  speedily  enough.  The  point 
is  that  the  spirit  is  keen  among  us  to  reach 
the  ends  we  have  in  view,— to  be  democratic 
and  to  be  of  use  to  the  Union.  In  our 
efforts  we  are  not  holding  aloof  from  the 
other  bodies  in  the  University,  the  Faculty 
and  alumni,  but  inviting  their  cooperation 
Wc  know  that  our  aims  will  be  fully 
attained  only  through  your  active  participa- 
tion with  us.  We  feel  justified  m  asking 
help  from  you,  material  and  moral  support, 
because  we  think  the  project  we  have  on 
hand  is  making  directly  for  the  strength 
of  the  undergraduates,  and,  therefore,  for 
the  strength  of  the  body  of  which  the 
undergraduate  group  is  a  member. 

It  may  be  a  question  with  some  as  to 
whether  our  effort,  so  plainly  marked  along 
a  certain  line,  is  progress.  Time  alone  can 
tell.  Time  alone  submits  the  verdict  on 
prog^essiveness  or  retrogression  with  ref- 
erence to  any  plan  or  policy.  The  best  a 
man  can  do  is  to  make  up  his  mind  con- 
scientiously as  to  the  value  of  a  plan,  put 
into  the  attempt  to  execute  it  the  very 
best  he  has  in  him,  and  hope  for  a  favorable 
judgment 

We  think  that  we  are  on  the  right  track. 
We  know  wc  are  advancing  along  a  definite 
front  And  confidently  we  expect  to  see 
our  efforts  in  behalf  of  Michigan  Union 
rewarded  by  the  growth  of  the  University 
of  Michigan  through  the  strength  of  its 
undergraduates    physically    and    mentally, 


through  the  increasing  friendliness  and 
helpfulness  of  intercourse  between  the  stu- 
dents and  the  Pacultv  corps,  through  the 
loyalty  and  service  of  its  alumni,  through 
the  broadening  of  its  democracy  and  the 
solidifying  of  its  better  type  of  college 
spirit  Some  day  we  know  we  shall  look 
upon  an  even  greater  and  grander  Univer- 
sity of  Michigan.  In  this  each  of  us  should 
so  act  and  so  serve  that  when  that  time 
comes  he  may  be  able  consciously  to  feel 
glad  that  in  his  undergraduate  days  he  did 
his  share. 

John  M.  Haverty,  '99/,  in  behalf  of 
the  Pittsburg  Alumni  Association, 
then  presented  the  three  medals  which 
have  been  given  for  the  past  few 
years  to  every  track  athlete  who  has 
broken  a  record.    He  said : 

In  the  year  1898  I  had  the  great  pleasure 
and  honor  of  listening  to  the  Honorable 
C.  A.  Towne,  our  worthy  toastmaster,  in 
his  celebrated  address,  "Lest  We  Forget," 
delivered  in  University  Hall  here  in  Ann 
Arbor.  At  that  time  he  gave  us  much  to 
think  about.  Tonight  I  thank  the  honor- 
able toastmaster  for  giving  me  a  thought 
upon  which  I  may  make  a  few  remarks, — 
the  attitude  of  eastern  colleges  toward  the 
Michigan  graduate  in  the  east.  We  are 
often  compelled  to  stand  fighting  the  battle 
of  Michigan,  particularly  since  the  Pennsyl- 
vania contest  of  last  year.  I  still  believe 
that  the  thousands  of  Michigan  alumni,  not 
only  in  the  east,  but  all  over  the  land,  are 
with  us  in  the  battle  we  are  about  to  enter, 
— that  their  sentiment  is  that  Michigan 
tomorrow  must  and  will  win. 

Three  years  ago,  at  a  meeting  of  the 
Pittsburg  Alumni  Association,  the  question 
came  up  as  to  how  we  might  express  the 
great  gratitude  that  we  owe  to  our  Uni- 
versity. We  decided  that  it  would  be  well 
and  fitting  that  we  should  make  easterners 
respect  the  name  of  Michigan  by  placing 
in  their  mouths  the  names  of  Michigan 
men  who  have  broken  records.  We  de- 
cided to  take  the  track  athletics,  with  the 
idea  of  offering  as  a  memorial,  a  medal  to 
any  Michigan  student  who  would,  in  track 
events,  break  a  record  already  in  exist- 
ence, or  in  other  words  make  a  new  record 
in  any  event  occurring  in  any  of  the  fol- 
lowing contests:  Western  Conference 
Meet;  the  Annual  Varsity  Meet;  and  the 
Chicago-Michigan  Meet.  During  the  past 
year  this  arrangement  has  been  subjected 
to  the  following  changes:  The  Ohio  State 
Meet  was  substituted  for  the  Chicago-Mich- 
igan Meet,  and  the  Eastern  Intercollegiate 
Meet,  held  in  Boston,  was  substituted  for 
the  Western  Conference.

FOURTH  ANNUAL  UNION  BANQUET

Three  records  have  been  broken  by  Mich- 
igan men  in  these  meets  during  the  past 
year :  The  first  record  broken  was  by  John 
C.  Garrels,  who,  on  May  nth,  1907,  during 
the  Varsity  Meet,  hurled  the  discus  140' 
4^4".  Floyd  Rowe  was  the  next  man  to 
break  a  record.  On  June  ist,  1907,  at  the 
Intercollegiate  Meet  at  Boston,  he  ran  the 
two  mile  race  in  9  min.  34  4/5  sec.  In  the 
Michigan-Ohio  meet,  Edward  B.  French 
broke  the  broad  jump  record  by  jumping 
a3'  2". 

Mr.  Garrels,  I  understand,  is  not  present. 
I  now  present  to  Mr.  Rowe  and  Mr.  French 
the  medals." 

Mr.  Rowe  and  Mr.  French  then 
came  forward  and  received  the  med- 
als amid  applause,  after  which  the 
toastmaster  introduced  the  Governor 
of  the  State,  Fred  M.  Warner,  who 
spoke  on  "The  State  and  the  Union." 

**Toastmaster,  Dr.  Angell,  Friends :  While 
we  are  waiting  for  the  victory  tomorrow, 
it  has  been  very  pleasant  to  gather  here 
for  social  intercourse  and  to  cnjov  the 
hospitality  of  the  Michigan  Union.  This  is 
a  happy  occasion, — made  so  by  the  acquisi- 
tion by  the  Union  of  a  clubhouse.  Here,  I 
understand,  the  students  gather  daily  with 
their  fellows  and  to  learn  their  ways.  Such 
intercourse  is  conducive  to  the  develop- 
ment of  personalities.  It  is  a  common 
meeting  place,  where  all  are  on  a  level ;  all 
classes  are  welcome  and  work  together 
for  the  upbuilding  of  character.  It  is  good 
to  know  that  all  share  in  this  enterprise 
and  the  great  work  which  is  being  accom- 
plished. 

Organizations  such  as  this  create  and 
spread  an  influence  which  affects  the  state. 
It  is  helpful  for  citizenship.  It  develops 
a  proper  respect  for  the  rights  and  privi- 
leges of  others.  Above  all,  it  develops  that 
helpful  co-operation  which  tends  to  the 
betterment  of  mankind.  The  work  entered 
upon  here  in  this  matter  of  co-operation 
will,  in  after  life,  prove  helpful  in  all 
things  pertaining  to  the  state  and  nation. 
It  is  for  this  reason  that  the  state  is  deeply 
concerned.  I  makes  for  better  citizenship. 
On  behalf  of  the  state  I  wish  God  speed 
to  this  organization. 

I  might  say  that  here,  at  the  seat  of 
learning  in  our  great  state,  it  is  proper 
to  observe  that  the  public  school  system 
of  Michigan  is  a  source  of  pride  and  sat- 
isfaction to  us  all.  In  our  fundamental 
law,  the  constitution,  provision  was  made 
for  funds  for  our  common  schools.  The 
Constitutional  Convention  has  talked  of 
taking  these  funds  from  such  usage  and 


placing  them  in  other  funds.  I  believe  that 
any  such  insertion  would  bury  that  consti- 
tution without  a  doubt  at  the  hands  of  the 
people  when  it  is  brought  forth  for  ratifi- 
cation. I  believe  that  funds  collected  from 
corporations  should  go  into  the  primary 
school  funds.  Those  thirty  pioneers  to 
whom  we  owe  so  much  realized  full  well 
that  the  great  state,  the  state  worth  having 
and  worth  striving  for,  cannot  be  attained 
by  an  uneducated  people.  The  weak  na- 
tions of  the  earth  are  those  whose  people 
dwell  in  ignorance.  It  is  in  the  common 
school  that  the  foundation  is  laid.  It  is 
our  duty  to  keep  that  fact  constantly  in 
mind. 

So  broad  were  laid  the  foundations  of  our 
educational  system  that  provisions  were 
made  to  meet  the  needs  of  the  normal 
schools,  an  agricultural  college,  a  school  of 
mines,  and,  as  a  crowning  feature  of  this 
system,  the  University  of  Michigan. 
Through  the  generosity  of  the  people  of 
Michigan  the  name  of  this  great  institu- 
tion has  been  made  known  throughout  this 
entire  land. 

The  last  legislature  saw  fit  to  increase 
the  annual  appropriation  by  something  like 
$250,000.00.  I  thmk  it  acted  wisely.  I  be- 
lieve that  the  best  investment  that  Michi- 
gan makes  is  the  money  she  puts  into  her 
educational  institutions. 

John  O.  Reed,  Dean  of  the  Literary 
Department,  was  then  called  upon  to 
answer  to  the  toast  "Academic  Inte- 
gration." Professor  Reed  spoke  in  a 
particularly  happy  vein,  and  kept  ev- 
eryone in  good  humor  with  good 
stories  and  ready  wit.  There  was  a 
serious  side,  however,  in  which  he 
presented  some  of  the  problems  which 
a  recent  survey  of  some  of  our  sister 
universities  had  brought  to  his  atten- 
tion. Inasmuch  as  it  was  past  mid- 
night when  he  rose  to  speak,  he  omit- 
ted a  portion  of  his  speech  which  is 
given  here  in  full. 

Academic  Integration  means  many  things. 
First  of  all  it  means  no  pessimism;  it 
means  hope  and  enthusiasm.  It  means  no 
carping  criticism;  in  the  expressive  lan- 
guage of  the  street,  it  means  no  "knocking." 
The  watchful  engineer  always  stops  long 
enough  to  "take  the  knodc^'  out  of  his 
engine.  To  put  the  oil  just  where  the 
screech  is,  and  to  sec  that  everything  is 
working  smoothly. 

Academic  integration  means  therefore, 
"no  knocking,"  first  because  "it  scares  the 
animals."     It   disturbs  both   students   and

Faculty.  It  produces  unrest,  distrust  and 
discontent  It  lowers  the  sodal,  intellectual 
and  moral  tone  of  the  entire  institution* 
and  seriously  detracts  from  its  vigor  and 
efficiency  as  a  formative  and  educational 
agent.  In  the  second  place,  this  carping 
criticism,  this  'laioddng^'  seriously  inter- 
feres with  the  conduct  of  business.  An 
institution  that  is  so  shot  through  with 
petty  factional  disturbances  and  unworthy 
jealousies,  that  whenever  any  proposition 
comes  up  for  consideration,  ulterior  mo- 
tives are  at  once  proclaimed  as  reasons  for 
its  defeat ;  that  suffers  from  academic  feuds 
and  guerrilla  warfare,  such  an  institution 
must  inevitably  endure  the  humiliation  of 
drifting  rapidly  astern.  It  must  see  mat- 
ters of  great  moment  and  questions  of  far- 
reaching  policy  settled  not  by  serious 
thought  and  temperate  discussion,  but  by 
appeals  to  prejudice  and  to  petty  personal 
interest.  That  such  a  condition  is  alwa^rs 
possible,  and  that  when  once  set  up,  it  is 
most  difficult  to  correct,  the  history  of 
faculties  and  of  institutions,  of  Legisla- 
tures and  of  nations  abundantly  testifies. 
It  is  as  necessary  to  inspire  and  maintain 
confidence  in  the  deliberative  as  in  the  fi- 
nancial world  if  peace  and  prosperity  are 
to  continue. 

Again,  academic  integration  means  "team 
work."  It  means  getting  together,  getting 
in  line;  all  for  one  and  one  for  all;  no 
cliques,  no  vested  interests,  no  closed  cor- 
porations, no  absorbing  and  absorptive  or- 
ganizations which  must  suck  the  life  out 
of  everything  else.  It  is  this  idea  of  com- 
mon interest  in  all  University  activities 
which  the  Michigan  Union  represents.  Here 
are  no  Greeks  and  no  Barbarians,  here 
are  Michigan  men,  shoulder  to  shoulder 
keeping  step  with  the  forward  march  of 
the  whole  University.  All  parts  of  the 
University  must  feel  this  influence;  every 
Department,  every  Faculty,  every  dass,  ev- 
ery organization  and  activity  must  acknowl- 
edge and  exemplify  this  underlying  prin- 
ciple. 

Moreover,  academic  integration  means 
concentration  of  effort  and  conserva- 
tion of  energy.  It  means  no  duplication 
of  parts,  no  useless  machinery.  It  means 
unification  in  administrative  process;  sim- 
plification in  method;  increase  in  efficiency, 
in  out-put,  and  in  quality.  Instead  of  seven 
different  gates  for  entrance  to  the  Uni- 
versity, unequally  manned  and  indiflFerently 
guarded,  it  means  one  gate  through  which 
must  pass  all  those  who  hope  to  avail 
themselves  of  its  advantages.  This  does 
not  mean  that  the  entrance  requirements 
for  all  Departments  should  be  the  same; 
far  from  it  It  does  mean  however,  that 
the  reauirements  for  every  Department 
should  be  administered  with  the  same  care.

It  means  economy  and  efficiency  combin( 

But  academic  integration  means 
more  than  simple  legislative  or  executive 
detail.  It  means  unity  in  aim  and  accom- 
plishment in  all  the  educational  machinery 
of  the  state.  It  means  that  each  part  of 
the  great  educational  machine  maintained 
by  the  state  shall  perform  its  function  per- 
fectly without  encroaching  upon  the  do- 
main of  any  other  part  That  the  district 
school,  the  High  School,  the  Normal 
School,  the  School  of  Mines,  the  Agricul- 
tural College  and  the  University  shall  each 
fulfill  its  appointed  function  loyally,  effi- 
ciently and  with  an  eye  single  to  the  best 
interests  of  the  State  as  a  whole.  Mich- 
igan is  unfortunate  in  this,  that  the  var- 
ious educational  interests  are  r^resented 
by  separate  institutions  located  m  differ- 
ent parts  of  the  state.  In  this  regard,  she 
is  at  a  distinct  disadvantage  when  com- 
pared with  Ohio  or  Illinois  or  Wisconsin. 
These  states  have  had  the  wisdom  to  unite 
their  Apicultural  College  with  their  Uni- 
versity m  each  case  and  the  results  have 
been  most  beneficial.  Each  part  strength- 
ens and  supports  the  rest  The  ideal  Uni- 
versity has  not  yet  been  organized,  but 
when  it  does  come,  we  shall  find  it  to 
contain  all  branches  of  instruction  above 
the  High  School;  with  the  Normal  Schools, 
the  School  of  Mines  and  the  Agricultural 
College  forming  separate  Departments  of 
the  University,  all  working  in  harmony, 
for  one  end,  the  production  of  an  educated 
citizenship  in  the  State;  all  Departments 
enjoying  the  benefits  of  common  interest, 
common  purpose,  common  sustenance,  and 
common  direction. 

Again  academic  integration  takes  firm 
hold  upon  the  educational  situation  from  a 
still  higher  standpoint  It  involves  com- 
munity of  scholarly  ideals  and  recog- 
nition of  academic  standards  as  fundamen-

tal  to  the  highest  success  in  every  line  of 
human  effort.  It  shows  itself  in  the  desire 
of  the  medical  man  to  secure  for  himself 
a  substratum  of  liberal  culture  upon  which 
to  build  his  specialized  professional  knowl- 
edge. In  the  engineer  who  desires  a 
knowledge  of  history,  of  law,  of  literature, 
of  philosophy  and  of  economics,  not  alone 
because  such  knowledge  will  make  him  a 
better  engineer,  but  because  it  will  make 
him  a  more  intelligent  citizen.  The  student 
of  law  feels  and  knows  that  while  he  must 
earn  his  bread  by  the  hard  technicalities  of 
the  law  yet  he  must  feed  his  mind  upon 
science  and  literature,  upon  philosophy  and 
history  if  he  is  ever  to  reach  the  stature 
of  intellectual  manhood.  And  all  men, 
whether  physicians  or  engineers,  or  law- 
yers, or  business  men,  or  teachers,  demand 
this  broad  foundation  of  liberal  scholar- 
ship not  so  much  for  its  commercial  value 
as  for  its  personal,  its  reflex  influence  upon 
their  tastes,  their  ideals  and  their  inner 
lives. 

It  is  this  aspect  of  liberal  education, 
which  I  believe  to  be  of  paramount  im- 
portance. It  is  valuable  to  men,  not  alone 
for  what  it  enables  them  to  do,  but  for 
what  it  encourages  them  to  be.  It  not  only 
forms  but  furnishes  the  mind  with  glor- 
ious pictures  of  future  possibilities.  I  be- 
lieve the  majority  of  men  are  forced  to 
spend  the  greater-  part  of  their  lives  in 
the  company  of  their  own  thoughts,  and 
hence  that  education  is  best  which  best 
fits  a  man  to  be  his  own  companion;  which 
gives  him  such  a  liking  for  books  that  he 
will  go  to  the  library  rather  than  to  the 
saloon  to  while  away  a  tedious  hour,  which 
opens  his  eyes  to  the  beauties  of  nature 
and  enables  him  to  find  companionship  in 
her  presence;  which  teaches  him  to  recog- 
nize in  the  mirror  of  humanity,  the  com- 
posite image  of  true  manhood,  and  through 
a  sense  of  his  own  weakness  shows  him 
how  to  bear  prosperity  without  arrogance 
and  adversity  without  complaint 

And  finally  academic  integration  means 
training  for  service  for  the  common  good. 


It  is  the  educated  hand,  eye  and  brain 
readiness  to  serve,  combined  with  that 
wisdom  which  is  ''profitable  to  direct"  It  is 
breadth  of  view  and  sanity  of  judgment;  it 
is  culture  with  its  coat  off,  ready  to  get 
into  the  trench  if  needed,  and  at  all  times 
able  to  distinguish  between  activity  and 
usefulness;  it  is  that  happy  combination  of 
idealism  and  horse  sense,  of  aspiration  and 
perspiration  which  must  energize  and  di- 
rect the  world. 

Now  it  is  the  function  of  the  Michigpan 
Union  to  bring  in  this  era  of  academic  in- 
tegration with  all  its  glorious  consequences. 
The  crown  of  the  University  of  Michigan  is 
her  magnificent  body  of  alumni.  When  I  think 
of  Chicago,  that  marvelous  growth  of  the 
past  fifteen  years,  sitting  by  her  beautiful 
lake,  her  head  annointed  with  oil,  and  her 
cup  running  over, — when  I  see  Wisconsin 
paying  fabulous  prices  for  blooded  horses 
and  cattle  in  order  to  expend  the  bounty 
of  an  indulgent  Legislature,  when  Illinois 
can  spend  $50,000  a  year  for  the  en- 
couragement of  graduate  study,  I  am 
comforted  by  a  remark  which  I  heard 
on  my  recent  visit  to  these  institutions, — 
**There*s  one  thing  which  Michigan  has, 
which  we  lack,  and  which  we  cannot  buy, 
— and  that  is  your  glorious  body  of  alum- 
ni!" Therein  lies  the  hope  for  the  future 
of  this  University!  Let  the  Alumni  stand 
together,  and  I  have  faith  to  believe  that 
the  people  of  Michigan  will  deal  liberally 
with  us  in  the  matter  of  financial  support 
Let  us  bring  in  the  era  of  academic  inte- 
gration and  let  our  cry  to  the  future  ever 
be: 

"O,  salve,  Unwersitas,  Michiganensium, 
Michigancnsium"  ! 

The  banquet  was  then  brought  to 
a  close  with  "The  Victors"  sung  by 
the  glee  club,  accompanied  by  the 
mandolin  club.  Louis  Elbel,  'g6-*gg, 
the  composer  of  the  song,  led  the 
combined  clubs.

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[December 


PHI  BETA  KAPPA,  ALPHA  OF  MICHIGAN* 


As  a  result  of  an  interest  felt  by 
teachers  and  students  of  the  Univer- 
sity for  many  years  and  openly  ex- 
pressed and  acted  upon,  first,  about 
six  years  ago  and,  secondly,  in  the 
early  spring  of  the  present  year,  a 
chapter,  the  first  in  the  state,  of  the 
society  of  Phi  Beta  Kappa  has  finally 
been  installed  at  the  University  of 
Michigan.  The  Installation  Meeting 
was  held  in  Sarah  Caswell  Angell 
Hall  on  Wednesday  evening,  Novem- 
ber 13,  when  in  the  presence  of  the 
newly  organized  chapter  and  of  its 
invited  guests,  members  of  the  kin- 
dred society  of  Sigma  Xi  and  students 
from  the  senior  class  of  the  Depart- 
ment of  Literature,  Science  and  the 
Arts,  the  President  of  the  United 
Chapters,  Professor  E.  A.  Grosvenor, 
of  Amherst  College,  formally  pre- 
sented the  charter. 

The  new  chapter  comprises  at  this 
time  about  sixty  members.  Most  of 
these  belong  to  the  various  faculties 

♦.(Notb:  The  Michigan  Chapter  of  Phi 
Beta  Kappa  was  installed  Nov.  13,  1907, 
with  64  members.  The  following  are  the 
officers:  President,  Professor  Alfred  H. 
Lloyd;  Vice-Presidents,  Professors  Fred 
11.  Taylor,  William  H.  Hobbs,  and  Fred- 
eric L.  Paxson;  SecreUry-Treasurer,  Pro- 
fessor John  A.  Fairlie,  with  the  five  officers 
named  above  as  Executive  Council.  The 
charter  was  granted  to  twenty-five  members 
of  Phi  Beta  Kappa  upon  the  University 
Faculties,  who  with  others  selected  by  them 
were  already  organized  as  the  "Alpha  Hon- 
or Society,"  but  all  the  members  of  this  so- 
ciety were  at  once  elected  to  the  new  chap- 
ter. The  following  members  of  the  class 
of  1907,  who  composed  the  undergraduate 
membership  of  the  Alpha  Honor  Society 
thus  become  members  of  Phi  Beta  Kappa: 
Arthur  Charles  Cole,  Charles  Phelps  Cush- 
ing,  George  Bion  Denton,  William  Wells 
Denton,  Floyd  Carlton  Dockeray,  Helena 
Lois  Duschak,  Frances  Mary  Eschenberg, 
Dorothy-  Minnie  Buerstenau,  Esson  Mc- 
DoweHGit^  .-Edward  Orville  Ham,  Bessie 
Wineig:2iF  Harriftgton,  Irma  Antoinette 
Judd,  Edwin  DeForest  Lacy,  Matthew 
Griswold  Pierce,  Edna  Grace  Rauch,  Len- 
na  Elizabeth  Reed,  Nellie  Clingan  Cuvier 
Speakman,  Phoebe  Mildred  Stiles,  Leo  Carl 
Weiler.— Editor.) 


and  about  half  are  connected  with 
chapters  of  Phi  Beta  Kappa  at  other 
colleges.  Nineteen,  however,  elected 
last  spring  to  the  "Alpha  Honor  So- 
ciety," a  preliminary  organization  now 
superseded,  have  been  chosen  from 
the  class  of  1907,  and  elections  will 
be  made  during  the  coming  spring 
from  the  present  senior  class  of  the 
Department  of  Literature,  Science  and 
the  Arts  and  annually  from  the  classes 
that  follow.  Also  alumni,  for  notable 
achievement  both  since  graduation 
and,  if  a  feasible  method  of  selection 
can  be  found,  as  of  their  various  grad- 
uating classes,  may  be  elected  to  mem- 
bership in  the  chapter. 

In  the  elections  from  the  senior 
classes  the  primary  ground  of  dis- 
tinction is  manifested  excellence  in 
scholarship.  In  any  one  year,  more- 
over, not  more  than  one  in  ten  can 
be  chosen  from  all  the  members  of 
the  class  and  none  are  eligible  who 
have  pursued  less  than  half  of  their 
studies  in  the  humanities — in  litera- 
ture, history,  philosophy  and  allied 
branches  including  mathematics.  Of 
course  the  number  actually  elected 
may  often  be  less  than  one  in  ten,  as 
already  in  the  class  of  1907;  for  ex- 
cellence, not  any  stated  ntunber,  is 
what  the  society  seeks. 

With  regard  to  the  character  and 
purpose  of  Phi  Beta  Kappa  it  should 
be  said  here  that  the  society,  although 
originally  organized  in  1776  as  a  se- 
cret association  and  although  the  first 
of  the  Greek  letter  fraternities  now 
so  numerous  at  the  educational  insti- 
tutions of  the  country,  is  no  longer  in 
any  sense  of  the  word  an  order  or  se- 
cret body.  It  has  lost,  too,  any  dis- 
tinctively social  character  that  in  the 
first  years  of  its  history  it  may  seem 
to  have  had.  Indeed,  although  from 
the  start  it  has  been,  as  always  it 
must  be,  an  association  for  good  fel- 
lowship, its  founders  were  really  and 
avowedly  banded  together,  not  mere- 
ly for  the  pleasure  of  companionship,

but  also  for  the  help  that  companion- 
ship always  brings  to  serious  living, 
and  early  in  the  last  century  the  par- 
ticular interest  of  serious  living  to 
which  the  society  came  specially  to 
devote  itself  was,  as  it  still  is,  that  of 
scholarship  and  the  responsibilities  of 
scholarship.  Phi  Beta  Kappa,  then,  is 
an  organization,  with  the  helpful  tra- 
ditions and  the  stimulating  personal 
associations  of  more  than  a  century 
and  a  quarter,  for  the  fellowship  of 
scholars  and  through  its  many  chap- 
ters it  has  become  a  bond  of  common 
interest  in  high  attainment  among  over 
eighty  colleges  and  universities  of  the 
country. 

The  recent  installation  of  the  Alpha 
chapter  of  Michigan  at  this  seat  of 
one  of  the  greatest  universities  of  the 
Middle  West  is  an  event  that  invites 
more  than  passing  notice.  It  is  an 
event  of  general  as  well  as  of  local 
interest.  Speaking  only  from  the 
Michigan  standpoint  some  have  al- 
ready referred  to  it  as  the  most  im- 
portant change  at  the  University  in 
a  period  of  twenty-five  years  and  in 
this  statement  there  may  be  no  ex- 
aggeration. But,  to  take  a  wider  view 
and  also  to  avoid  all  superlatives,  any 
new  influence,  by  which  a  quickening 
of  the  conscious  interest  in  scholar- 
ship and  in  culture  so  akin  to  true 
scholarship  is  secured  at  the  educa- 
tional institutions  of  the  west — or  of 
such  portions  of  the  east  as  are  not 
too  near  the  Atlantic  seaboard ! — ^must 
be  recognized  and  watched  with  keen 
interest. 

Only  a  very  provincial  observer 
can  possibly  hold  that  the  learning 
and  the  culture  of  the  country  know 
no  breezes  save  the  well-salted  breezes 
of  the  Atlantic.  Learning  and  cul- 
ture, very  like  the  other  affairs  of  a 
country's  life,  like  the  government  and 
the  industry,  for  example,  are  as  wide 
and,  even  while  possessing  a  vital  uni- 
ty, are  as  various  as  the  life  itself. 
The  different  sections  of  a  country 
as  large  as  ours  have  and  must  have 
differences  of  ideal  and  attitude  in 


learning  and  in  culture  and  in  the  ed- 
ucation that  imparts  these.  Again, 
with  political  and  industrial  and  geo- 
graphical differences  there  must  go 
educational  differences,  and  therefore 
just  for  the  sake  of  unity  and  vitality, 
learning  and  culture  must  have  adap- 
tability, that  is,  a  certain  versatility 
of  meaning.  They  can  not  be  single 
or  fixed,  formally  standard  or  classic 
in  character  or  manner.  Simply,  they 
must  be  alive  to,  or  alive  with,  all  the 
elements  and  interests  of  the  compre- 
hensive life  which  they  are  intended 
to  serve. 

So  the  life  of  this  region,  to  which 
the  University  of  Michigan  belongs, 
puts  a  peculiar  demand  upon  its  col- 
leges and  universities  and  its  learned 
societies,  and  any  of  the  latter  that, 
like  Phi  Beta  Kappa,  are  becoming 
fellowships  of  south  and  north,  of 
east  and  west,  are  doing  so  successful- 
ly only  by  adapting  the  purposes  and 
standards  of  their  organization  to  the 
enlarged  and  more  complex  field 
of  their  activity.  The  vigorous,  prac- 
tical life  of  this  region,  so  recently  at 
the  nation's  frontier,  demands  with 
an  emphasis  very  far  from  sentimen- 
tal, not,  as  some  would  insist,  that 
there  must  be  no  scholarship,  but  that 
scholarship  must  be  vital,  that  learn- 
ing and  culture  must  recognize  and 
assimilate  not  some  but  all  tilings  hu- 
man and  not  merely  things  past  but 
also  things  present.  And  a  chapter 
of  Phi  Beta  Kappa  tocated  here  is 
bound  to  heed  this  unequivocal  de- 
mand; in  its  attitude,  for  example, 
towards  the  university  curriculum 
taking  the  broadest  possible  view  of 
the  so-called  humanities  and  never  al- 
lowing itself  openly  or  covertly — ^as 
if  these  were  non-human — ^to  be  out 
of  sympathy  with  the  so-called  nat- 
ural or  objective  sciences. 

An  important  fact,  testifying  at 
least  in  educational  circles  to  the 
broader  and  deeper  conception  of 
scholarship  and  culture,  is  the  exist- 
ence and  activity,  already  at  many 
universities    east    and    west,    of   the

younger  society  of  Sigma  Xi,  which 
has  many  points  of  similarity  to  Phi 
Beta  Kappa  but  is  especially  concern- 
ed with  the  pure  and  the  applied  sci- 
ences. To  some  this  younger  society 
may  seem  only  a  rival,  just  as  to  some 
the  humanities  and  the  sciences  seem 
only  opposed,  but  the  relation  is  a 
more  intimate  one.  The  actual  his- 
tory shows  more  than  mere  rivalry  or 
opposition.  Before  the  rise  of  Sig- 
ma Xi,  Phi  Beta  Kappa  had  already 
widened  its  doors  and  had  admitted 
chapters  with  tests  of  membership  as 
broad  or  very  nearly  as  broad  as  those 
of  the  two  societies,  as  now  common- 
ly organized,  taken  together.  The 
younger  society,  then,  has  virtually 
been  but  an  offshoot  of  the  older,  or, 
in  a  sense  that  is  certainly  creditable 
to  them  both,  an  imitator;  or,  better 
still,  it  has  been  only  a  result  of  a 
natural  and  mutually  useful  division 
of  the  whole  field  of  scholarship.  With 
rise  of  the  new  society,  moreover.  Phi 
Beta  Kappa  has  been  disposed  at  times 
to  turn  back  to  its  earlier  boundaries. 
But,  as  of  great  importance  and  as 
special  evidence  of  the  common  in- 
terest here  insisted  upon,  the  return 
has  brought  a  more  vital  scholarship 
to  the  earlier  and  narrower  field.  Less 
than  ever  before  can  the  humanities 
be  only  sentimentally  human.  Every 
one  of  them  has  and  feels  its  unavoid- 
able dependence  both  for  material  and 
for  method  and  spirit  on  the  objective 
sciences.  Literature  feels  its  needed 
background  of  philology  and  general 
linguistics ;  history,  art  or  religion,  of 
sociology  and  psychology ;  and  philos- 
ophy, even  of  the  whole  region  of  nat- 
ural science.  Accordingly,  although 
in  general  as  in  the  particular  case  of 
the  new  chapter  here  in  Michigan,  Phi 
Beta  Kappa  may  be  returning  some- 
what within  her  earlier  lines,  the  re- 
turn is  a  distinct  advance  and  is  at  the 
same  time  a  mark  of  sympathy  and 
cooperation  with  the  younger  society. 
The  change,  too,  and  especially  the 
cooperation  show  a  response  to  just 
those  demands   for  vital  scholarship 


which  come  so  emphatically  from  the 
spirit  of  the  west — the  awakening 
west — the  eastern  west. 

Nor  does  what  has  been  said  here 
of  the  dependence  of  the  humanities 
on  the  sciences  suffer  any  depreciation 
from  the  fact  that  often,  particularly 
in  the  west,  the  applied  science  seems 
even  to  supersede  the  pure  science. 
West  or  east  the  application  of  learn- 
ing is  its  salvation  and  as  our  cul- 
ture the  real  life  of  a  country  can  find 
it  only  in  wide  learning  successfully 
put  in  action;  in  comprehensive 
knowledge  of  whatever  is  human  ef- 
fectively applied.  The  real  spirit  of 
the  applied  science,  as  it  informs  and 
quickens,  not  indeed  the  narrow  field 
of  some  specialist,  but  the  length  and 
the  breadth  of  human  need  and  inter- 
est, is  what  more  than  any  thing  else 
makes  scholarship  vital  and  culture 
real. 

Plainly,  then,  the  new  chapter  of  Phi 
Beta  Kappa  has  a  large  opportunity  or 
rather  its  own  special  part  in  a  large 
opportunity.  In  what  various  ways 
it  may  avail  itself  of  this  opportunity 
can  not  be  told  or  foreseen  at  this 
time:  Yet,  in  conclusion,  one  way,  es- 
pecially important  in  the  relation  of 
the  society  to  the  student  body  is  cen- 
tral and  is  well-known  and  needs  men- 
tion here  because  it  has  been  sharply 
criticized.  This  is  no  other  than  the 
public  recognition  of  excellence  in 
scholarship  as  affected  by  the  annual 
election  from  the  graduating  class, 
and  the  objection  offered  to  this — 
quite  apart  from  the  difficulties  of  se- 
lection which  are  also  insisted  upon  and 
which  are  considerable,  but  which  give 
promise  of  being  effectively  overcome 
— is  that  western  democracy  and  par- 
ticularly a  long  cherished  Michigan 
democracy  will  be  seriously  comprom- 
ised by  the  creation  of  an  aristocracy 
of  scholars. 

Democracy  is  a  very  large  thing. 
It  is,  to  begin  with,  very  much 
larger  than  Phi  Beta  Kappa.  Also,  it 
is,  of  course,  too  large  for  adequate 
discussion  here,  as  it  is  too  large  for

the  facile  use  of  those  adjectives,  dem- 
ocratic and  undemocratic,  so  easily 
affected  by  many  people.  Strangely 
enough,  many  who  have  really  feared 
for  Michigan's  democracy  have  con- 
ceded that  scholarship  ought  in  some 
way  to  be  put  at  least  on  a  plane  of 
equality — of  democratic  equality ! — 
with  such  other  affairs  of  the  aca- 
demic life  as  society,  oratory  and  ath- 
letics and  that  accordingly  there 
might  be  some  excuse  for  Phi  Beta 
Kappa  even  in  democratic  Michigan. 
But  this  is  a  too  grudging  concession 
to  Phi  Beta  Kappa  and  it  shows  great 
confusion  in  its  ideas  about  democra- 
cy. Real  democracy  must  do  all  in  its 
power  to  put  all  men,  as  well  as  all 
the  interests  and  affairs  of  men,  on 
equal  footing  in  the  sense  of  securing 
to  all  equal  opportunity,  but  it  can 
never  do  without  excellence  and  the 
cordial,  public  recognition  of  it.  What 
renders  conscious  excellence  or  pub- 
licly recognized  and  applauded  excel- 
lence unworthy  and  undemocratic  is, 
not  bv  anv  means  the  excellence  itself 


nor  the  consciousness  or  applause  of 
it,  but  the  unconsciousness  of  its  re- 
sponsibilities. In  short,  equal  oppor- 
tunity, public  recognition  of  excellence 
and  public  service  make  the  real  de- 
mocracy. The  west,  then,  if  it  would 
be  really  democratic  as  well  as  vigor- 
ous and  practical,  as  in  general  it  must 
demand  high  attainment,  so  in  partic- 
ular at  its  universities  must  demand 
excellence  in  scholarship,  in  a  vital 
scholarship,  and  through  all  the  means 
in  its  power  must  cordially  and  pub- 
licly recognize  this  whenever  attained 
and  endeavor  to  inculcate  among  those 
whom  it  thus  honors  a  keen  sense  of 
their  duty  in  a  public  service. 

If  Michigan's  new  chapter  of  Phi 
Beta  Kappa  keeps  ever  in  mind  the 
saving  intimacy  of  public  excellence 
with  public  service  there  need  be  no 
fear  for  Michigan's  democracy.  There 
may  even  be  some  hope  that  Mich- 
igan's democracy  will  receive  new  help 
to  realization  of  itself*

MICHIGAN  PORTRAITS— IX 


Benjamin  Franklin  Cocker  was 
bom  in  Yorkshire,  England,  in  1821 
and  died  in  Ann  Arbor  April  8,  1883. 
Between  those  dates  is  a  career  of 
unusually  diversified  character  con- 
summating, as  our  purpose  of  brief 
review  lies,  in  his  call  to  the  chair  of 
philosophy  in  the  University  of  Mich- 
igan in  1869. 

He  was  one  of  the  striking  figures 
and  strong  personalities  of  the  Cam- 
pus of  the  last  generation.  He  was 
tall  and  lithe,  with  face  thin,  nose 
aquiline,  eyes  searchingly  penetrating. 
His  figure  was  crowned  with  long, 
white  hair  through  which  he  so  often 
nervously  ran  his  fingers,  and  which 
was  combed  straight  back  from  his 
forehead.  Nor  did  his  unusual  aspect 
and    manner   belie    the    expectations 


they  aroused.  His  students  might 
have  great  difficulty  in  recalling  the 
body  of  information  they  received 
from  him  but  they  would  have  none 
in  naming  those  qualities  of  his  which 
made  him  so  strong  a  factor  in  their 
education.  And  if  his  instruction  be- 
longed to  days  forever  passed,  its 
spirit  is  never  to  be  outgrown.  Of  its 
form  and  content  nothing  need  now 
be  said.  His  personality  was  the  ele- 
ment that  abides. 

With  whatever  well  defined  lines  he 
might  demarcate  fields  of  speculation, 
kinds  of  conduct  or  faculties  of  soul 
the  impression  conveyed  by  his  voice, 
face  and  manner  was  that  of  a  man 
who  felt  himself  to  be  in  the  presence 
of  mystery  vast  and  meaningful.  In 
the  apprehension  of  this  his  soul  quiv-

ered  and  throbbed.  In  the  expression 
of  it  his  voice  took  timbre  that  served 
well  its  purpose.  Into  room  21  his 
classes  used  to  come  noisily  and  care- 
lessly. Often  they  left  as  the  devout 
leave  a  sanctuary.  Men  have  not  for- 
gotten their  surprise  in  finding  that 
they  had  tiptoed  their  way  out  of  a 
class  room. 

His  supreme  purpose  never  seemed 
to  lie  in  the  line  of  discovering  and 
collocating  facts.  His  passion  was  to 
apply  to  life  facts  of  value  and  ideas 
of  worth.  He  touched  human  life  with 
a  reverent  hand.  Everything  was  sub- 
ordinate to  it.  He  deepened  the  sense 
of  it  in  his  pupils.  They  wondered 
sometimes  what  kind  of  psychology 
he  was  teaching,  or  of  philosophy,  or 
of  ethics.  It  seemed  to  them  very 
like  religion.  And  it  was.  He  did 
have  a  distinct  philosophical  system. 


but  it  was  the  handmaid  of  religion. 
He  was  widely  read  in  contemporary 
science,  but  it  was  in  the  interest  of 
life.  He  loved  to  make  himself  at 
home  in  that  dim  border-land  between 
metaphysics  and  theology.  But  it 
was  in  the  interest  of  theology. 

His  own  religious  experience  and 
his  previous  work  in  the  ministry  had 
doubtless  given  his  nature  that  bent 
which  he  maintained  in  his  personal 
relations  and  instruction.  His  hospi- 
tality was  generous.  Students  con- 
sulted him  freely.  So  in  life  and 
books  and  his  place  of  instruction 
alike  he  felt  a  profound  sense  of  his 
personal  mission,  and  such  was  the 
greatness  of  his  soul  that  he  seldom 
failed  to  awaken  in  others  those  emo- 
tions that  made  for  honor  and  truth.

ATHLETICS 


MICHIGAN.  8;  VANDERBILT.  0 

By  the  small  score  of  8  points  Michigan 
defeated  Vanderbilt  on  Dudley  Field,  Nash- 
ville, Tenn.,  on  Nov.  2,  before  the  largest 
crowd  that  ever  witnessed  a  football  c^ame 
south  of  the  Mason  and  Dixon  line.  Neither 
team  was  able  to  cross  the  other's  goal 
line  and  the  Varsity's  points  were  all  made 
early  in  the  first  half,  two  goals  from  place- 
ment by  Graham  doing  the  ullying. 

Early  in  the  game  the  southerners  showed 
flashes  of  a  wonderful  defense  and  several 
times  Michigan  was  held  after  her  backs 
had  carried  the  ball  into  the  shadow  of 
Vanderbilt's  goal,  but  notwithstanding  this 
most  of  the  gains  by  the  northern  team 
were  made  by  straight,  old-fashioned  foot- 
ball. The  forward  pass  was  seldom  used 
and  only  once  with  good  effect 

Vanderbilt  often  seemed  to  be  playing 
on  its  courage.  At  times  Michigan  started 
to  tear  up  the  Commodores  in  midfield,  but 
when  the  goal  line  was  approached  the 
Tennessee  team's  defense  warded  off  the 
impending  scores.  In  the  second  half  Vandy 


took  the  ball  over  on  downs  on  its 
fifteen  yard  line,  at  a  time  when  it  would 
seem  as  if  the  lighter  team  must  begin  to 
show  the  effect  of  wear  and  tear  on  it 
When  the  whistle  blew  for  the  close  of 
the  game  it  was  makinp;  one  more  desperate 
stand  to  protect  its  Ime,  and  this  one,  it 
is  possible,  might  have  proved  a  futile  ef- 
fort 

"Germany"  Schulz  wis  far  and  away  the 
star  of  the  game.  In  his  usual  style  he 
was  in  every  play,  tackling  runners  for 
loss,  falling  on  the  ball  in  fumbles,  and 
opening  wide  holes  in  the  line  for  Mich- 
igan ^ins.  Pitted  against  "Slim"  Stone, 
who  is  unquestionably  a  great  player,  he 
showed  conclusively  that  he  has  no  equal 
in  the  keystone  position.^  Wasmund  ran 
the  team  with  excellent  judgment  and  in 
spite  of  the  wet,  slippery  field  handled  punts 
in  faultless  style.  Captain  Magoffin  in  sen- 
sational runs  made  many  long  gains.  Doug- 
las started  at  right  half,  but  Allerdice  re- 
placed him  early  in  the  game.  Both  were 
nt  running  mates  for  the  captain.  Loell 
followed  Schulz  through  the  Commodorefl^

line  for  gains  nearly  every  time  he  was 
given  the  ball.  In  the  last  two  minutes 
of  play  this  pair  worked  the  ball  from 
Vanderbilfs  35-yard  line  to  within  a  yard 
of  the  coveted  goal  on  successive  line 
bucks,  but  time  was  called  depriving  the 
Wolverines  of  a  touchdown.  Hammond 
outpunted  the  far-famed  Bob  Blake  and 
was  responsible  to  a  great  extent  for  the 
victory.  His  run  of  3^  yards  on  a  fake 
kick  was  the  longest  of  die  game. 

For  Vanderbilt,  Campbell,  Bob  Blake 
and  Costen  starred.  Costen  shone  espec- 
ially in  quarterback  runs  and  in  running 
bade  punts.  However,  in  die  first  half  he 
made  several  costly  fumbles,  twice  during 
this  period  failing  to  cling  to  punts  that 
he  was  catching  inside  his  own  twenty-yard 
line.  Once  Rumney  fell  on  the  ball  and 
the  other  Douglas  was  on  top  of  as  it 
bounded  away.  Each  time  Michigan's  di- 
rect attack  failed  and  Graham  fell  back  to 
the  twenty-five  yard  line  for  the  place  kicks 
that  counted.  Between  these  fumbles  the 
same  player,  Costen,  had  another  on  his 
thirty-nve-yard  line  which  Douglas  secured. 
This  threatened  to  cost  a  touchdown,  as 
Michigan  carried  the  ball  up  to  within  five 
yards  of  the  goal  line,  Vanderbilt  bracing 
and  holding  only  t^  a  magnificent  effort 
with  the  sphere  inside  the  last  of  the  chalk 
marks. 

Michigan's  first  score  immediately  fol- 
lowed a  fumbled  punt  by  Costen  on  his 
own  15-yard  line,  Rumney  recovering  the 
ball.  Two  attacks  on  the  line  were  re- 
pulsed with  no  gain  and  Graham  dropped 
back  to  the  25-yard  line  from  where  he 
sent  the  ball  squarely  between  the  posts. 

The  second  field  goaf  came  after  an  ex- 
change of  punts  resulting  in  a  good  gain 
for  die  Varsity,  and  a  run  of  20  yards  by 
MagofRn.  Costen  fumbled  a  high  spiral  on 
Vanderbilt's  35-yard  line,  Douglas  falling 
on  the  ball.  Loell  and  Douglas,  in  line 
bucks,  worked  the  ball  to  the  5-yard  line 
where  Vanderbilt  held  for  downs.  Blake 
punted  and  the  k}ck  was  immediately  re- 
turned to  Costen  who  missed  the  catch 
on  his  is-yard  line.  Douglas  secured  the 
oval.  Three  attacks  on  the  line  were 
thrown  back.  Then  Graham,  kicking  from 
the  25-yard  line,  easily  drove  the  ball  over 
the  cross-bar. 

Just  before  the  first  half  ended  the  South- 
em  team  gave  a  splendid  exhibition  of 
rapid  ground  gaining,  when,  taking  the  ball 
on  their  own  20-yard  line,  four  plays  car- 
ried the  ball  far  into  the  invader's  territory. 
The  half  closed  with  the  ball  on  Michigan's 
30-yard  mark. 

The  second  period  saw  both  teams  suc- 
cessively play  each  other  to  a  standstill. 
First  Vanderbilt  took  the  ball  and  kept  it 
in    Michigan's    territory    t^r    a    series    of 


ground  gaining  plays.  Then  a  long  punt- 
ing duel  occupied  all  but  the  last  few  min- 
utes of  the  period.  At  last  the  northern 
eleven  took  a  punted  ball  at  mid-field.  Ma- 
goffin tore  off  15  yards.  Loell  made  12  on 
two  plays.  These  two  players  a^^  more 
than  made  their  downs  on  three  Ime  bucks. 
Then  Loell  hit  it  once  more  going  to 
within  three  yards  of  Vanderbilt's  goal. 
On  the  next  play  Allerdice  placed  the  ball 
on  the  one-yard  line  just  as  the  timekeep- 
er's whistie  ended  the  contest

MICHIGAN,  0;  PENNSYLVANIA,  6 

Nearly  20,000  people  saw  Pennsylvania 
defeat  Michigan  on  Ferry  Field,  Nov.  16, 
by  the  score  of  6-a  While  scarcely  spec- 
tacular the  game  was  well  fought  and  the 
result  is  an  honest  measure  of  the  quality 
of  football  revealed  by  the  rivals.  The 
red  and  blue  earned  its  six  points  by  ex- 
hibiting greater  strength,  keeping  the  ball 
well  in  Michigan's  territory  during  a  large 
part  of  the  game,  and  by  outclassing  the 
maize  and  blue  in  several  ways,  notably 
by  possessing[  a  wonderful  backfield  rather 
than  by  scormg  six  points  on  a  fluke. 

As  one  of  Michigan's  backs  afforded  the 
easterners  their  immediate  opportunity  to 
score  the  winning  touchdown,  so  the  Wol- 
verine backfield  collectively  lost  the  game 
through  the  inefficiency  of  their  of^nse. 
Such  gains  as  the  Varsity  did  make  came 
largely  through  the  steady  punting  of  Har- 
ry Hammond  and  the  forte  of  Michigan's 
backs — ^the  forward  pass.  This  feature 
gave  the  game  its  greatest  beauty  and  the 
western  team,  by  exhibiting  it  to  far  bet- 
ter advantage  than  did  the  invader,  re- 
trieved a  large  part  of  the  glory  it  must 
otherwise  have  lost  Coach  Fielding  H. 
Yost,  by  developing  the  triangular  pass 
with  its  many  variations,  showed  clearly 
that  he  must  be  regarded  as  a  master  of 
the  "new"  football. 

The  work  of  Michigan's  line  was  fully 
up  to  its  standard.  Time  and  again  Penn's 
heavjr  backs  would  be  repulsed  with  a  loss 
on  Ime  plays,  and  frequently,  on  offense.

THE  MICHICiAN  ALUMNUS 


[December 


Schulz  or  Rheinschild  would  break  through 
the  easterners'  defense  and  throw  their 
runner  for  a  loss.  While  Michi^^'s  ends 
were  sometimes  neatly  boxed  m  by  the 
eastern  forwards,  it  was  one  of  these  ends 
who  shone  as  the  bright  and  shining  star 
of  the  whole  contest.  Harry  Hammond, 
playing  his  last  game  of  intercollegiate  foot- 
ball, did  most  of  the  ground  gaining  for 
the  maize  and  blue.  It  was  this  versatile 
lineman  who  outpunted  the  Penn  kickers, 


day,  except  in  the  burst  of  brilliant  use  of 
the  new  game  by  the  westerners  early  in 
the  second  half.  When  the  opposing 
backs  plunged  into  each  other's  lines  Penn 
took  the  honors.  However,  Michigan  in 
the  open  field  was  a  different  matter,  and 
the  old  time  champions  of  the  west  made 
the  invading  easterners  rue  their  ignorance 
of  the  latitude  granted  by  the  new  rules. 

During  the  whole  game  each  eleven  suc- 
ceeded in  crossing  its  opponent's  goal  line.

who  made  the  longest  run  of  the  day  by 
getting  around  Scarlett  for  26  yards,  and 
who  gained  five  times  out  of  six  attempts 
on  the  old  fake  kick  play. 

During  the  first  half  Penn's  chances  to 
score  were  numerous  as  nearly  all  the  play 
was  between  midfield  and  Michigan's  goal 
in  the  early  stages  of  the  game.  Seven 
times  the  eastern  team  drove  the  ball  in- 
side the  15-yard  line  only  to  see  the  de- 
fenders reclaim  it.  On  the  other  hand 
Michigan  never  held  the  ball  inside  Penn- 
sylvania's 25-yard  mark,  except  on  the  oc- 
casion of  the  disallowed  touchdown  in  the 
second  half. 

Summing  up  the  play  as  a  whole: 
straightaway  football  was  the  order  of  the 


Pennsylvania  going  twice  across  the  home 
team's  chalk  mark  and  Michigan  getting 
back  of  the  red  and  blue  goal  once.  On 
technicalities  only  the  first  score  made  by 
the  Quakers  counted  in  the  tallying. 

The  score  came  in  this  way:  Before  the 
middle  of  the  first  half  Pennsylvania  had 
worked  the  ball  well  down  the  field  but 
on  a  forward  pass  Magoffin  recovered  on 
his  own  9-yara  line.  Michigan  could  not 
gain  and  Hammond  punted  from  his  goal 
line  to  the  35-yard  mark.  Line  plunges  by 
HoUenbeck  and  Greene  made  a  first  down, 
and,  with  the  ball  right  in  front  of  Mich- 
igan's goal  and  within  easy  distance  Kcin- 
eth  stepped  back  for  a  supposed  drop  kick. 
Instead  he  furnished  a  surprise  in  the  form

of  an  on>side  kick  which  crossed  the  line 
of  scrimmage  and  was  clutched  at  by  Ma- 
gofEn  on  the  is-yard  line.  The  Michigan 
captain  juggled  the  ball  and  it  bounded 
along  from  player  to  player  until,  topling 
off  to  one  side  of  the  group  it  was  caught 
by  Penn's  left  guard,  Gallagher,  who  ran 
the  intervening  10  yards  for  a  .touchdown. 
Scarlett  kicked  an  easy  goal. 

Later  in  the  struggle  after  a  30-yard 
march  through  the  Michigan  line  and  its 
only  successful  forward  passes,  Penn  again 
neared  Michigan's  goal.  From  the  15-yard 
line  Keineth  hurled  the  ball  to  Draper  who 
ran  across  the  goal  line.  Inasmuch  as  all 
the  officials  detected  open  holding  in  the 
Penn  line,  the  leather  was  brought  out  and 
the  easterners  penalized. 

Earty  in  the  second  half  Michigan  show- 
ed at  Its  best,  when,  taking  the  ball  on  its 
own  20-yard  line  by  using  the  new  play 
perfectly  and  by  taking  advantage  of  Penn's 
Ignorance  of  the  new  game,  it  worked  the 
oval  forward  90  yards,  sending  it  across 
the  Penn  goal  line. 

Hammond  began  the  parade  down  the 
field  by  gaining  12  yards  on  an  exchange 
of  punts  lastmg  for  several  minutes. 
A  triangular  forward  pass,  Wasmund,  to 
Magoffin,  to  Hammond,  netted  22  yards, 
placing  the  ball  on  the  55-yard  line.  Im- 
mediately Michigan  lined  up  in  a  new  for- 
mation, unseen  before  on  any  gridiron  in 
an  open  contest.  Schulz,  center  and  snap- 
per-back, stood  7  yards  from  any  other 
Midiigan  player  and  at  one  end  of  the 
line,  the  rest  of  the  team  stringing  across 
the  field,  Wasmund,  Allerdice  and  Magof- 
fin only  being  behind  the  line  of  scrim- 
mage. While  the  Penn  forwards  were  run- 
ning around  like  lost  sheep  the  ball  was 
put  in  play,  Wasmund  passed  it  to  Aller- 
dice, wno,  running  over  to  the  left  threw 
the  oval  35  yards  to  Magoffin  who  turned 
and  ran  20  yards,  between  Penn's  goal  posts. 

This  remarkable  feat  set  the  bleacher 
crowds  wild  with  delight  which  was  sud- 
denly stilled  when  Referee  Murphy  was 
seen  calling  back  the  ball.  This  official  de- 
clared that  in  its  flight  the  oval  had  not 
gone  five  yards  to  one  side  of  the  snapper- 
back,  and  hence  the  pass  was  illegal.  This 
decision  was  opposed  to  that  of  both  the 
other  field  officials  and  both  coaches,  even 
Dr.  Torrey  of  the  Penn  team  eagerly  as- 
serting that  the  play  was  leg^l.  But  as 
the  field  judge's  authority  was  absolute 
Michigan  had  to  be  content  with  thinking 
that  the  game  might  have  resulted  in 
a  tie  had  not  the  technicality,  dependent 
on  Murphy's  coign  of  vantage,  invalidated 
the  score.  Toward  the  end  of  the  game 
this  official's  popularity  was  further  lowered 
when  he  allowed  Penn  four  downs  to  make 
the  required  10  yards. 


One  of  the  prettiest  features  of  the  game 
was  the  human  block  M  in  the  students' 
rooting  section  of  the  north  bleachers.  Sev- 
eral hundred  students  had  provided  them- 
selves witli  yellow  hats  and  banners,  and 
arranged  around  them  were  numbers  with 
blue  flags.  At  the  given  signal  the  whole 
group  rose  and  displayed  their  colors.  The 
effect  of  the  Varsity  letter  in  the  rooting 
department  was  heightened  by  the  presence 
of  a  corps  of  competent  cheer  leaders  and 
the  university  band  on  the  side  lines.  The 
Penn  rooters,  about  200  strong,  occupied 
seats  in  the  middle  of  the  south  stand. 

Captain  Magoffin  won  the  toss  and  chose 
to  receive  the  ball  while  defending  the 
west  goal.  HoUenbeck  kicked  to  Allerdice 
who  fumbled  but  recovered  on  Michigan's 
20-yard  line.  Watkins  plunged  into  the 
line  for  five  yards  but  could  not  repeat 
Hammond  punted. 

Penn's  attack  on  the  maize  and  blue  line 
was  ineffective  and  HoUenbeck's  punt  was 
received  b^  Magoffin  ^  yards  from  his  own 
goal.  Failing  to  gam  Hammond  punted 
to  Keineth  m  midfield.  Penn's  fullback 
broke  through  but  was  downed  by  Ham- 
mond after  a  run  of  10  yards.  Again  Hoi- 
lenbeck  broke  loose,  this  time  for  8  yards. 
On  the  next  play  Keineth  showed  a  great 
lack  of  field  generalship  when  he  sig- 
nalled for  a  forward  pass  within  easy  kicic- 
ing  distance  of  Michigan's  goal.  Magoffin 
secured  the  ball,  and,  after  failing  to  gain 
Hammond  kicked  out  of  bounds  on  the  35- 
yard  line.  Line  plunges  by  Hollenbedc  and 
Greene  made  it  first  downs  and  then  came 
Keineth's  onside  kidc  resulting  in  the  only 
touchdown  scored  in  the  contest 

After  the  kickoff  Michigan  returned 
grittily  to  Uie  attack,  but,  on  account  of 
dangerous  fumbles  by  Magoffin  and  Was- 
mund in  the  backfield  the  yellow  and  blue 
was  kept  busy  warding  off  a  further  score. 
At  last  with  the  ball  well  down  the  field 
the  Michigan  team  took  a  splendid  brace. 
A  fake  kick  by  Hammond  was  good  for 
20  yards.  Short  gains  by  Magoffin,  Wat- 
kins,  and  Rheinschild  carried  the  oval  to' 
center,  but  again  the  Quakers  braced  and 
Hammond  had  to  punt 

Captain  Folwell,  the  mighty  Greene,  and 
HoUenbeck  were  sent  in  a  fierce  attack  on 
Michigan's  tackles  and  ends  but  Yost's  de- 
fense proved  sufficient  to  stop  their  rush 
and  HoUenbeck  was  forced  to  resort  to 
the  kicking  game. 

Hammond's  dash  on  a  fake  kick  brought 
the  ball  back  to  midfield.  Here  the  first  of 
Michigan's  repertoire  of  forward  passes 
was  presented  for  inspection,  and  when 
Rheinschild  secured  Allerdice's  throw  on 
Penn's  35-yard  line  things  looked  bright 
for  Michigan.  Tried  again,  the  pass  failed 
and  when  HoUenbeck  recovered  he  at  once

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[December 


punted  to  midfield.    Just  as  Michigan  made 
their  downs  the  half  ended. 

Second  half.  Penn  was  immediately 
forced  to  punt  after  receiving  Allerdice's 
kickoff. 

Taking  the  ball  on  their  15-yard  line 
Michigan,  by  splendid  passes  by  Magoffin 
and  Allerdice,  with  Allerdice  and  Rhein- 
schild  on  the  receiving  end,  soon  had  the 
ball  on  the  center  line.  Being  forced  to 
punt  Hammond  kicked  20  yards  and  Wat- 
kins  recovered  the  ball  on  Folwell's  fum- 
ble. 

Watkins,  lead  by  Schulz,  walked  through 
Penn's  right  guard  but  on  the  next  play 
a  forward  pass  went  wrong  and  the  eastern 
team  took  the  ball  on  their  own  40-yard 
line.  At  this  point,  Keineth  gave  the  best 
proof  of  his  ability  by  engineering  a  series 
of  plays  which  compeltely  bewildered  the 
left  side  of  Michigan's  line  and  placed  the 
oval  on  the  lo-yard  mark  in  a  few  at- 
tempts. Here  a  pass  to  Pauxtis  enabled  the 
left  end  to  dash  over  for  a  touchdown,  but 
the  ball  was  recalled  and  a  15-yard  penalty 
imposed  for  holding.  Penn  drew  up  in 
drop  kicking  formation  but  Keineth  tried  a 
forward  pass  which  landed  on  the  ground, 
going  to  Michi^n  on  third  down. 

Here  the  maize  and  blue  players  made 
a  gallant  spurt  and  in  two  bewildering  plays 
took  the  ball  from  their  own  30-yard  line 
across  Penn's  goal  only  to  loose  the  score 
on  the  referee's  decision. 

Michigan  was  kept  on  the  defense  the 
rest  of  the  game,  but  even  in  the  severe 
test  of  holding  Penn's  mighty  backs  the 
Wolverine  forwards  stubbornly  contested 
every  inch  of  ground.  The  game  ended 
with  the  ball  on  Michigan's   15-yard  line.

'10  ENGINEERS,  4;  '10  LAW,  0 

For  the  second  time  the  1910  engineers 
won  the  interclass  football  championship. 
This  year  the  title  came  by  defeating  the 
19 10  law  team  on  Ferry  Field,  Nov.  23,  by 


the  score  of  4-a  Due  to  an  agreement  to 
play  until  a  score  was  made  the  second  half 
was  65  minutes  in  length — Weager's  place 
kick  ending  the  game. 

Both  teams  showed  splendid  spirit.  The 
lawyers  held  a  slight  advantage  throughout 
the  game,  several  times  booting  and  plung- 
ing their  way  well  toward  the  engmeers* 
goal  line.  But  each  time  a  score  seemed 
imminent  the  mechanics'  line  held,  and  no 
matter  how  frequently  the  laws  attempted 
place  kicking  their  efforts  were  unavailing. 

The  freak  plays  employed  by  the  engin- 
eers were  generally  unsuccessful.  Straight 
line  bucking  and  running  back  punts  be- 
hind good  mterference  proved  to  be  their 
best  plays.  The  laws  used  the  forward 
pass  for  several  short  gains,  all  long  passes 
being  captured  by  the  sophomores.  The 
laws  tried  running  the  engineers'  ends  with 
frequent  gains  in  the  first  part  of  the  con- 
test. 

First  downs  were  few,  the  game  early 
resolving  itself  into  a  punting  duel  between 
Weager,  the  soph  fullback,  and  Captain 
White  of  the  laws.  The  advantage  in  this 
•  department  was  clearly  with  the  latter, 
although  the  returns  of  Magidsohn  did 
much  to  even  things  up.  This  player  and 
Hodson,  the  freshman  center,  were  the  stars 
of  the  game. 

The  game  itself  was  evenly  fought  but 
featureless.  The  first  half  was  scoreless 
due  to  the  stubborn  defense  of  the  engin- 
eers. During  the  hour-long  second  period 
the  wearied  teams  exchanged  punts  without 
number,  the  deciding  score  coming  as  a 
result  of  a  fumble  of  one  of  Weager's  spir- 
als which  Jeffries  recovered  on  the  laws' 
30-yard  line.  From  this  point  Weager 
kicked  a  perfect  goal. 

Pandemonium  broke  loose  among  the  en- 

?'neers  when  the  long  game  was  called, 
he  entire  contest  was  free  from  any  sem- 
blance of  foul  or  unnecessarily  rough  play. 
In  fact  only  one  change  was  made  in  the 
lineup  of  the  two  teams,  Jeffries  going  for 
Hidey,  engineer  left  guard. 

Predominance  of  engineers  in  the  meager 
crowd  prevented  any  rush.

THE  DULUTH-SUPERIOR  ALUMNI 
MEETING 

The  fourth  annual  banquet  of  the  Duluth- 
Superior  Alumni  Association  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  Michigan  was  held  at  the  Spal- 
ding Hotel,  Nov.  19,  1907. 

All  the  officers  were  present  and  W.  A. 
Cant,  '85/,  president  of  the  association,  was 
in  the  chair  and  fulfilled  all  the  duties  of 
the  president  except  during  the  rendition 
of  the  stated  program,  during  which  Charles 
S.  Mitchell,  '80,  acted  as  toastmaster,  with 
great  acceptability.  An  unusually  large  num- 
ber of  members  were  present  and  a  degree 
of  enthusiasm  was  reached  which  has  not 
been  equalled  in  any  of  the  prior  banquets. 
The  decorations  used  were  characteristic 
of  the  Universi^  of  Michigan  and  were 
lavish  and  beautiful.  An  orchestra  of  five 
pieces  played  in  an  adjoining  room,  and 
many  of  the  old  college  songs  were  sung 
informally  and  with  great  zest. 

It  was  moved  and  carried  that  a  nomi- 
nating committee  be  appointed  to  suggest 
a  full  corps  of  officers  for  the  association. 
The  president,  W.  A.  Cant,  appointed 
George  C.  Stone,  J.  H.  Darling,  W.  R. 
Bagley,  and  Miss  Alice  Scott.  They  re- 
tired and  after  consideration  reported  their 
recommendations  as  follows: 

For  president,  Luther  Mendenhall,  '60; 
for  vice-president,  David  E.  Roberts,  '82/; 
for  secretary,  J.  H.  Whitely,  '92I;  for  treas- 
urer. Miss  Agnes  Wells,  '03;  for  director 
for  one  year.  Dr.  Mary  McCoy,  '90m;  for 
director  for  two  years.  Dr.  G.  H.  Conklin, 
*88ifi;  for  director  for  three  years,  C.  S. 
Mitchell,  'Sa 

It  was  moved  and  carried  that. George 
C.  Stone,  the  chairman  of  said  committee, 
be  instructed  to  cast  the  ballot  for  said 


persons,  for  said  offices  respectively,  and 
that  they  be  declared  elected.  This  was 
done,  and  they  were  declared  elected  by 
the  president. 

No  subject  was  assigned  to  Edwin  J. 
Kenny,  '05,  '06/,  but  he  spoke  effectively  up- 
on the  "Democracy  of  the  Unievrsity  of 
Michigan." 

The  toastmaster  introduced  Miss  Geor- 
gien  E.  Mogford,  '96,  who  chose  for  her 
subject  "Co-Education,"  Oscar  Mitchell, 
r89-'9o,  was  then  introduced  by  the  toast- 
master  and  he  spoke  in  general  terms  of 
his  experiences  at  the  University  and  its 
work  in  producing  better  citizenship. 

Luther  Mendenthall,  '60,  then  responded, 
without  a  subject  being  assigned,  and  he 
thanked  the  association  for  the  honor  con- 
ferred upon  him  by  his  election  to  the 
presidency,  and  then  addressed  the  members 
in  a  heart-felt  telk. 

Hon.  C.  B.  Grant,  of  Ae  Supreme  Court 
of  Michigan  and  chairman  of  the  Alumni 
Memorial  Committee,  had  been  expected  to 
be  present  and  to  speak  on  the  subject, 
"The  Old  Times  and  the  New,"  but  sent 
word  that,  owing  to  serious  illness  in  his 
family,  he  could  not  be  present 

The  closing  address  was  nude  by  Presi- 
dent James  B.  Angell,  the  guest  of  honor 
on  this  occasion.  He  chose  for  his  sub- 
ject "The  University."  He  spoke  of  its 
wonderful  growth  and  elaborate  system  of 
education,  and  steted  that  at  the  present 
time  tiiere  were  over  5,000  students  and 
more  than  350  teachers  upon  its  various 
faculties.  When  asked  why  the  University 
had  experienced  such  a  remarkable  growth, 
he  answered  that  it  was  largely  due  to  its 
alumni,  and  he  very  highly  approved  of 
these  gatherings  of  the  alumni  and  prom-

DEAN  REED'S  FIRST  INTERVIEW 

Among  other  good  stories  told  by  Dean 
John  O.  Reed  at  the  banquet  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  Michigan  Union,  held  in  Water- 
man Gymnasium,  Nov.  15,  was  an  account 
of  his  first  interview  with  President  An- 
gell. He  described  the  awe  and  solemnity 
with  which  he  first  approached  the  opNcn 
doors  and  shadowing  dome  of  University 
Hall  as  a  student  When  he  passed  within 
the  doors  and  entered  the  President's  office, 
he  was  even  more  impressed  by  the  great 
man  and  his  advisors,  before  whom  he 
stood.  When  the  President  turned  to  him, 
he  waited  for  the  words  of  wisdom  that 
should  fall.  But  the  President's  first  words 
were,  "Young  man,  take  off  your  hat" 
After  the  laughter  had  subsided,  Dean 
Reed  remarked  that  he  had  been  doing  that 
ever  since.

Although  forty  miles  from  navigable 
water,  the  University  of  Michigan  boasts 
a  club  of  sufficiently  nautical  title  and  in- 
tent. It  consists  of  students  in  the  Depart- 
ment of  Marine  Engineering  and  is  known 
as  the  Quarter  Deck  Club.  The  following 
officers  were  elected,  Nov.  12:  Commodore, 
Leon  H.  Johnson,  Jamestown,  N.  Y.; 
Vice-Commodore,  August  W.  Kretzschmar, 
Detroit,  Mich.;  Secretary,  Charles  S.  Wi- 
ley, Oswego,  N.  Y.;  Treasurer,  Harry  A.

watching  the  United  States,  undetermined 
whether  to  follow  us  or  Europe." 


Hon.  John  Barrett,  who  spoke  before  the 
Students'  Lecture  Association  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  Michi^^an,  Nov.  13,  took  advan- 
tage of  the  occasion  to  emphasize  the  neces- 
sity of  closer  relations  between  the  United 
States  and  the  South  American  Republics. 
He  declared  "that  the  United  States  is 
studying  Europe  too  much,  to  the  neglect 
of  her  near  neighbors,  while  South  America 
needs  more  of  our  attention.  ...    It  is 


Lawrence  C.  Hull,  from  the  University 
of  Michigan,  who  is  now  a  student  in  Bra- 
zenose  College,  Oxford,  England,  upon  a 
Rhodes  Scholarship,  won  a  triple  victory, 
Nov.  15,  in  the  freshman  sports.  He  was 
first  in  three  events,  the  high  jump,  5  ft. 
3  in.,  the  shot-put,  31  ft.  6  in.,  and  the 
quarter  mile  run  in  52^  sec. 


At  the  regular  meeting  of  the  Student 
Council  at  the  University  of  Michigan,  held 
Tuesday  night,  Nov.  12,  the  formal  disa- 
proval  of  that  body  against  the  boisterous 
welcoming  of  athletic  teams  on  Sunday 
evening  was  expressed.  This  action  was 
taken  entirely  by  students  themselves,  and 
although  the  matter  created  considerable 
discussion,  it  was  finally  decided  that  such 
demonstrations  were  unseemly  and  would 
have  to  go.

"The  place  filled  by  the  late  Belle  Don- 
aldson among  the  teachers  of  Michigan 
calls  for  a  more  extended  notice  than  was 
given  at  the  announcement  of  her  death  in 
the  October  issue  of  The  Alumnus.  As 
a  prominent  student  at  the  University  dur- 
ing the  period  i89i-'95,  and  as  a  teacher  of 
Latin  in  the  Central  High  School  of  De- 
troit, from  the  time  of  her  graduation  until 
her  death,  she  was  esteemed  in  educational

circles  for  her  attainments  and  her  person- 
ality alike.  In  University  life  Miss  Don- 
aldson enjoyed  an  unusual  position  for  a 
delicate  young  woman  dependent  upon  her- 
self for  pecuniary  resources,  and  the  suc- 
cess of  her  aspirations  may  well  encourage 
other  women  students  who  are  deprived  of 
financial  assistance.  A  rare  personality, 
which  combined  with  her  fine  mental  pow- 
ers not  only  choice  traits  of  character  but 
also  great  physical  loveliness  admitted  her 
to  all  circles  which  she  desired  to  enter, 
and  was  the  determining  factor,  in  her  life 
as  a  student  as  well  as  in  her  career  as  a 
teacher.  It  is  chiefly  for  this  unusual  com- 
bination of  personal  resources  that  Miss 
Donaldson  is  conspicious  among  the  wo- 
men graduates  of  the  University  of  Mich- 
igan. Others  have  entered  fields  more  dif- 
ficult of  access  than  the  public  high  school, 
and  have  won  distinction  in  higher  places. 
In  her  we  find  a  secondary  teacher  of  the 
highest  order  in  whom  a  sound  and  pro- 
gressive scholarship  was  re-enforced  by  a 
genuine  aptitude  for  giving  instruction. 
But  in  the  light  of  the  strengthening  and 
refining  influence  which  she  exerted  over 
hundreds  of  boys  and  girls,  her  career  be- 
comes idealized.  We  would  pay  the  great- 
er tribute  to  a  beautiful  character  at  a 
time  when  the  specialist  would  have  the 
man  or  woman  in  the  teaching  profession 
overlooked."

thoroughly  treated  at  Michigan,  there  arc

(Law  1902),  47  E.  46th  St.,  Chicago. 

GEORGE  F.  ROBISON 

George  F.  Robison,  whose  death  was 
noted  last  month,  was  bom  at  Manches- 
ter, Mich.,  Aug.  17,  1848.  After  working 
his  way  through  the  Grass  Lake  High 
School,  he  entered  the  University  of  Mich- 
igan, where  he  was  graduated  with  the 
class  of  1873.  While  in  college  he  sup- 
ported himself  principally  by  acting  as  cor- 
respondent of  several  Detroit  newspapers. 
After  graduation,  he  entered  into  newspaper 
work  in  Detroit,  and  later  studied  law  and 
was  admitted  to  the  bar  in  the  late  sev- 


enties. He  was  Deputy  Clerk  of  the  Su- 
perior Court  of  Detroit  for  the  years  1876 
and  1877,  and  upon  the  resignation  of  Mr. 
Harsha,  he  became  Clerk,  serving  for  two 
years  under  the  late  Judge  Lyman  Coch- 
ran. He  then  became  Assistant  Prosecut- 
ing Attorney,  becoming  Prosecuting  Attor- 
ney in  the  election  of  1884.  After  serving 
two  terms  he  entered  private  practice  in 
1888,  and  from  that  time  on  he  has  ap- 
peared in  many  of  the  most  prominent 
criminal  cases  in  the  state.  From  1896  to 
1903,  Mr.  Robison  was  in  partnership  with 
his  brother,  James  A.  Robison,  and  in  1906 
he  was  again  elected  Prosecuting  Attorney. 
Mr.  Robison  died  suddenly  at  his  home  m 
Detroit,  Sunday,  Oct.  6,  1907,  from  heart 
failure  after  less  than  a  day's  illness.  He 
is  survived  by  his  widow  and  two  sons  and 
three  daughers. 

WILLIAM  HENRY  SAUNDERS 

William  Henry  Saunders  was  bom  at 
Philadelphia,  Pa.,  Nov.  14^  1840.  His  fam- 
ily came  West  early  in  his  life  and  he  re- 
ceived his  early  education  in  private  schools 
at  Ann  Arbor  and  his  immediate  prepara- 
tion for  college  at  the  Academy  on  Lodi 
Plains  near  Ann  Arbor.  He  was  graduated 
from  the  University  with  the  degree  of 
A.B.  with  the  Class  of  '61  at  the  age  of 
twenty,  one  of  the  youngest  members  of 
that  class  .  Three  years  later  he  received 
his  Master's  degree,  and  in  1865  he  re- 
ceived his  M.D.  He  commenced  the  prac- 
tice of  medicine  at  Davenport,  Iowa,  in 
1865,  and  removed  to  Lawrence,  Kans., 
the  same  year,  where  he  continued  in  prac- 
tice for  ten  years.  He  became  Professor 
of  Chemistry  at  the  University  of  Kansas, 
which  position  he  held  for  three  years. 
In  1875  he  removed  to  Kenosha,  Wis., 
where  he  resumed  medical  practice  and 
where  he  resided  until  his  death.  He  was 
married  July,  1864,  to  Elizabeth  A.  Mott 
of  Ann  Arbor,  to  whom  two  children  were 
born,  neither  of  whom  survives.  He  was 
married  a  second  time  to  Mrs.  Harriett  E. 
Lusk,  of  Kenosha,  Wis.  He  died  at  Ken- 
osha, Oct.  29,  1907.

[December 


Wines  are  no  doubt  Miss  Kenton's  own; 
considered  as  types  they  just  as  certainly 
hark  back  to  Silas  Lapham  and  his  friends 
the  Coreys.  And,  similarly,  it  would  not 
be  difficult  to  point  out  a  brother-and- 
sister  relationship  between  Clem  herself  and 
Mr.  Mood/s  Stephen  Ghent  Both  are 
compacted  of  the  same  crude  and  unsophis- 
ticated humanity;  both  represent  the  same 
brand  of  the  thing  we  call  Americanism. 
But  if  not  new  her  material  is  none  the 
less  extremely  vital.  Part  of  our  present 
situation,  these  oppositions  of  "primitive" 
West  to  cultured  and  exclusive  East  are  not 
likely  soon  to  lose  their  interest  for  us. 
Much  telling  has  in  no  wise  robbed  them 
of  their  forceful  appeal.  Given  but  a  novel- 
ist who  knows,  and  whose  ambition  it  is  to 
draw  out  the  larger  meaning  of  what  he 
sees  and  they  are  as  potent  as  ever  to  seize 
and  to  hold  on  attention. 

So  far  as  concerns  ambition  at  least,  Miss 
Kenton  is  such  a  novelist.  She  is  undenia- 
bly serious.  On  nearly  every  page  you  find 
evidences  of  her  desire  to  treat  her  theme 
philosophically,  to  get  out  of  it  all  the  sig- 
nificance she  possibly  can.  She  is  not  con- 
tent with  showing  merely  the  surface  as- 
pects of  her  people;  she  is  determined 
everywhere  to  penetrate  below  into  their 
underlying  motives.  This  is  the  explana- 
tion, perhaps,  of  an  amount  of  analysis  and 
reflection,  which  for  so  slight  a  book  seems 
almost  extraordinary.  It  is  not,  all  of  it, 
very  good  analysis  and  reflection;  but  it 
testifies  at  least  to  the  earnestness  of  the 
writer's  intention. 

At  this  point,  after  conceding  so  much, 
one  is  forced  to  make  certain  reservations. 
She  does  not,  for  one  thing,  know  her 
material  anywhere  near  intimately  enough. 
She  consequently  flails  to  define  it  suffi- 
ciently; one  is  certain  that  her  people  are  a 
great  deal  more  interesting,  "sociologically," 
than  she  shows  them  to  be.  Everything 
is  made  to  depend  upon  the  ideals  of  their 
particular  "set";  and  yet  these  ideals  arc 
nowhere  set  forth  with  anything  like  the 
definiteness  necessary  to  make  the  action 
convincing.  Again:  it  is  plain  that  her 
seriousness  of  mood  tends  in  more  passages 
than  one  to  lead  her  into  an  over-emphasis 
and  a  too  conscious  research  in  words. 
Many  times  one  feels  that  she  is  forcing 
the  note  emotionally,  that  she  is  trying  to 
read  more  significance  in  her  somewhat 
commonplace  actions  than  by  rights  belongs 
to  them,  that,  in  a  word,  she  is  the  least 
bit  "intense."  These  faults,  however,  are 
in  the  main  simply  defects  of  some  of  her 
best  qualities.  They  are  the  price  she  has 
to  pay — not  being  great  enough  to  compass 
both  ambition  and  achievement — for  en- 
deavoring to  be  serious  and  "psychological," 


and  for  dealing  with  matter  of  more  than 
ordinary  import  And  they  do  not  hinder 
one  materially  from  getting  a  great  deal 
of  right  pleasure  out  of  the  story.

terests of  the  middle  west,  is  a  credit  to  its 
editors,  one  of  whom,  E.  Jay  Wohlgemuth, 
was  a  student  in  the  University  from  1900 
to  1903.  Among  the  contributors  is  Louis 
A.  Strauss,  '93,  Junior  Professor  of  Eng- 
lish in  the  University,  who  contributes  an 
article  on  "The  Geographical  Distribution 
of  Literature  in  America"  to  the  first  num- 
ber, and  James  O'Donnell  Bennett,  '89-'92, 
who  contributes  an  article  on  "Midland 
Dramatists"  to  the  number  for  November 
21. 

A  series  of.  articles  by  Stewart  Edward 
White,  '95,  entitled  "Round-Up  Days,"  is 
appearing  in  the  current  numbers  of  Out- 
ing Magazine,  and  deals  with  the  pictur- 
esque side  of  life  on  Western  cattle  ranches. 
They  are  illustrated  with  photographs  by 
the  author.

A  new  souvenir  of  the  University,  con- 
taining 24  pages,  with  photogravure  views 
of  the  University,  has  just  been  issued  by 
A.  S.  Lyndon.  The  views  are  excellent  and 
the  simple  richness  o  fthe  binding  and  pa- 
per make  it  the  best  book  of  the  sort  that 
has  appeared  for  some  time. 

Karl  Edwin  Harriman,  r94-*95,  the  au- 
thor of  "Ann  Arbor  Tales,"  and  at  pres- 
ent the  editor  of  the  Red  Book  of  Chicago,

Finest  In  The  State 


[RAVELING  salesmen,  who  cover  the  entire  state  of  Michigan, 
tell  us  that  without  question,  our  big  new  **  one  floor  '*  printing 


plant  is  the  finest  of  its  size  in  the  whole  state.  We  did  not 
expect  in  four  short  years  to  build  up  the  largest  plant  in  Michi- 
gan, but  we  did  build  one  large  enough  to  house  all  the  other  job  print- 
ing offices  in  Ann  Arbor,  and  then  have  room  left.  This  is  said  with  no 
disrespect  to  any  of  our  competitors,  either.  People  have  found  out  that 
they  can  depend  on  getting 

FIRST  CLASS  WORK  AT  REASONABLE  PRICES 

at  our  place  of  business.     That  combined  with  courteous  treatment,  has 
naturally  made  our  office  a  satisfactory  place  to  trade.     Try  Us.

In  September,  1907,  this  well  established  school  began  work 
in  a  new  building  costing  a  quarter  of  a  million  dollars. 

Its  laboratory  facilities  for  all  kinds  of  science  work  are  un- 
surpassed by  any  public  school  in  America.  Its  equipment  for  Com- 
mercial Work  is  equal  to  the  best,  and  its  provision  for  Physical

The  old  time  thoroughness  in  the  Classics  and  other  Culture 
Studies  is  maintained.

equal  rank  in  America.

What  Universily  ol  Michigan   Graduates  Say  About 

THE  THURSTON 
Teachers'  Agency 

Join  tha  Agency  that  Personally  Rccommendt 

**  During  my  last  vemr  at  the  University  of  Michi- 
gan I  joined  several  prominent  teachers*  agencies, 
and  wrote  many  applications  for  positions  as 
notices  of  vacancies  came.  I  finally  secured  a 
position,  but  not  by  reason  of  assistance  from  any 
of  them.  Being  still  anxious  for  advancement,  but 
now  somewhat  skeptical  as  to  the  helpfulness  of 
agencies,  I  was  induced  by  a  friend  to  try  Miss 
lliarston's.  In  a  short  time  I  was  elected  to  a  posi- 
tion at  a  larger  salary  than  I  had  ever  before  drawn 
in  teaching  profession. 

"  If  you  want  a  position,  join   Miss  Thurston's 
Agency;  if  you  enjoy  an  extended  correspondence, 
join  the  others."       Commissioner  of  Schools, 
Hillsdale,  Michigan 

"  I  hold  my  present  position  as  language  teacher 
In  the  high  school  of  Bast  Chicago,  Ind.,  as  the  result 
of  an  application  through  the  Thurston  Agency." 

High  School,  Joliet,  111.—"  I  received  my  position 
through  the  Agency  of  Miss  Anna  M.  Thurston. 
She  seems  to  me  to  keep  in  touch  with  the  best 
schools  in  this  part  of  the  country,  and  shows  per- 
sonal interest  in  those  for  whom  she  is^trorking." 

Do  aoc  wait  until  the  beM  positioiis  sfc  filled.

EVENT  AND  COMMENT 


"Academic  integra- 
A  BUSINESS  tion"  is  an  apt  phrase 
PROPOSITION  recently  coined  by 
Dean  John  O.  Reed, 
of  the  Literary  Faculty,  to  character- 
ize a  movement  toward  coordination 
and  centralization  of  much  of  the 
business  of  the  University.  It  is,  in 
fact,  a  business  undertaking.  Since 
the  University  is  organized  primarily 
for  education,  with  comparatively 
little  reference  to  the  world  of  aflfairs, 
it  has  been  able  to  run  on  in  well 
traveled  grooves  without  any  too  seri- 
ous consequences,  or  rather,  any  too 
sudden  jars.  This  immunity  in  the 
past,  however,  by  no  means  premises 
that  our  happy-go-lucky  momentum 
will  carry  us  along  indefinitely.  It 
cannot  be  denied  that  if  all  the  affairs  of 
certain  kinds  were  united,  and  again, 
the  various  inter-related  departments 
were  placed  in  the  charge  of  a  central 
bureau,  there  would  be  a  very  per- 
ceptible increase  in  the  working  effi- 
cienqr  of  the  University  at  a  less  ex- 
penditure of  energy.  C  Time  was 
when  the  present  system  and  equip- 
ment were  amply  sufficient,  but  that 
was  when  we  had  i,ooo  students; 
now  we  have  5,000,  and  our  require- 
ments have  grown  in  an  even  greater 
ratio.  Dean  Reed,  in  his  speech  be- 
fore the  Michigan  Union,  which  was 
printed  in  the  last  number  of  The 
Alumnus,  had  some  significant  re- 
marics  to  make  upon  the  subject.  We 
take  the  liberty  of  reprinting  a  small 


portion  of  it,  with  due  apology  for 
repetition.  "Instead  of  seven  differ- 
ent offices  for  keeping  record  of  the 
work  of  students,  each  employing  a 
Professor  to  do  the  work  of  a  clerk, 
either  in  connection  with  or  in  addi- 
tion to  his  academic  duties,"  said  Pro- 
fessor Reed,  "academic  integration 
would  suggest  one  central  office,  tra- 
der modem  business  management, 
fully  equipped  with  clerks,  stenog- 
raphers, typewriters  and  operatives, 
with  files  and  records  of  up-to-date 
form  and  system,  where  all  the  in- 
formation is  readily,  quickly  and  in- 
telligibly accessible.  It  means  putting 
the  clerkship  in  the  hands  of  a  clerk 
and  getting  intelligent  service.  It 
means  putting  a  $3,000  man  on  a 
$3,000  job  and  getting  $3,000  service 
or  knowing  the  reason  why.  It  means 
economy  and  efficiency  combined.*' 


To  anyone  who  comes 
INFORMATION   in  contact    with    the 
AND  PUBLICITY  weary    and    plaintive 
souls  who  try  to  find 
their  way  about  the  Campus  in  search 
of  something  animate  or  inanimate, 
from  a  student  relative  to  a  building, 
another  one  of  Dean  Reed's  sugges- 
tions  follows    with    grateful    relief. 
The    ceaseless    stream    of   requests 
which  comes,   for  instance,    to    the 
Secretary  of  the  Alumni  Association, 
for  the  use  of  the  telephone;  for  in- 
formation as  to  who  is  chairman  of

this  or  that  student  committee; 
where  professor  so  and  so  is  at  such 
and  such  an  hour;  and  so  on;  to- 
gether with  puzzled  inquiries  as  to 
the  whereabouts  of  such  and  such  a 
building;  or  "where  can  I  find  my 
son,  he  is  at  the  University?"  proves 
that  the  establishment  of  a  central 
information  bureau  would  be  of  im- 
mense value  to  the  University. 
C  Such  a  bureau  as  this  has  been 
suggested,  together  with  one  of 
closely  allied  activities,  which  might 
be  called  a  "bureau  of  publicity."  We 
are  beginning  to  suspect  that  we  have 
been  a  little  too  magnificent  in  our 
isolation ;  we  have  said,  "let  the  world 
come  to  us,  our- works  will  show"; 
and  we  are  glad  to  say,  our  works 
have  shown.  But  have  they  shown 
enough?  There  is  no  reason  why  we 
should  not  take  advantage  of  other 
legitimate  and  dignified  opportunities 
lying  at  hand  to  rnake  clear  to  our  con- 
stituency, alumni,  and  Michigan  tax- 
payers, just  how  important  the  Uni- 
versity is  to  the  state  and  to  the  coun- 
try. We  owe  it  to  them,  in  fact. 
C  In  a  small  way  the  Alumni  Asso- 
ciation has  already  been  fulfilling 
some  of  the  functions  which  would 
naturally  fall  to  the  lot  of  such  a 
bureau  as  is  suggested.  For  exam- 
ple, in  addition  to  the  News-Letter, 
which  is  at  present  under  charge  of 
the  Alumni  Association  and  furnishes 
news  items  to  the  press  of  the  state 
and  the  country  at  large,  a  newspaper 
correspondence  bureau  composed  of 
students  might  be  established  for  the 
purpose  of  furnishing  to  the  press 
authentic  details  upon  matters  which 
would  have  real  interest  for  the  world 
at  large,  and  which  escape  notice  on 
the  part  of  student  correspondents  in 
the  mass  of  athletic,  and  other  more 
"important"  news  items.  It  has  also 
been  suggested  that  such  a  bureau 
might  be  utilized  to  procure  places 
for  University  graduates  with  Mich- 
igan alunuii.  Such  a  scheme  has  been 
established  at  other  universities  and 


has  proved  effective.  C  The  ser- 
vices of  this  office  as  an  information 
bureau  proper  might  well  be  inestima- 
ble. With  the  centralization  of  Uni- 
versity records  and  entrance  require- 
ments, thepe  might  also  be  inaugurat- 
ed a  more  thorough  method  of  keep- 
ing the  addresses  of  the  members  of 
the  Faculty,  and  students  as  well,  to- 
gether with  their  class  programs,  so 
that,  as  often  happens,  when  anyone 
is  wanted  immediately,  he  can  be 
found.  For  this  purpose  a  corps  of 
student  messengers  might  be  organ- 
ized to  serve  a  number  of  useful  pur- 
poses and  also  to  act  as  guides  for  vis- 
itors about  the  Campus.  Handy,  com- 
pact guide-books  might  also  be  pub- 
lished by  the  bureau  for  the  benefit  of 
visitors  to  the  University,  The  work 
which  the  Alumni  Association  is  now 
carrying  on  in  maintaining  the  card 
catalogue  of  the  alumni  might  also 
come  properly  under  the  supervision 
of  this  bureau,  once  it  is  thoroughly 
established,  together  with  the  sending 
of  at  least  one  communication  to  every 
alumnus  during  the  year,  a  function 
which  has  hitherto  devolved  upon  the 
Alumni  Association.  In  fact  the  pos- 
sibilities of  such  a  plan  once  inaugu- 
rated are  almost  unlimited  and  the 
return  in  direct  and  indirect  benefits 
would  become  apparent  quickly,  and 
in  degree  far  out  of  proportion  to  the 
original  outlay. 


SOME 

COLLBGB 

POLITICS 


The  spirit  of  reform 
breathed  upon  Ann 
Arbor  lately  with 
considerable  disturb- 
ance to  its  cloistered  calm,  and  the 
stirring  of  some  dust  in  comers  where 
it  has  lain  for  years.  While  some 
will  have  it  that  little  was  accomplish- 
ed and  that  students  will  still  be  con- 
tent to  employ  methods  in  their  poli- 
tical affairs  which  are  unpopular  up- 
on a  larger  stage,  we  are  inclined  to 
believe  that  our  little  tempest  was  an 
indication  that  the  problems  of  the

133 


world  at  large  are  percolating  into 
academic  life.  The  whole  question 
was  opened  by  a  letter  in  the  "Mich- 
igan Daily"  pointing  out  certain  sig- 
nificant facts  in  connection  with  af- 
fairs in  the  Athletic  Association. 
There  was,  and  has  been  for  some 
time,  a  deadlock  in  the  Board  of  Di- 
rectors of  the  Athletic  Association 
over  the  election  of  a  treasurer  to  that 
body.  Three  student  members  were 
opposed  to  a  certain  candidate,  fav- 
ored by  Graduate  Director  Baird  and 
the  remaining  two  members,  the 
Board  properly  consisting  of  seven 
members.  It  will  be  seen  that  to  this 
situation  the  Graduate  Director  held 
the  key  in  the  shape  of  the  deciding 
vote,  which  he  persistently  maintained 
to  prolong  an  unfortunate  deadlock 
in  the  face  of  a  majority  of  the  stu- 
dent votes.  C  While  this  situation 
was  unfortunate  enough,  it  was  inten- 
sified and  colored  by  the  Conference 
question  which  has  been  agitating  the 
student  body  for  over  a  year,  and 
upon  which  student  opinion  has  been 
strongly  divided.  The  candidate  fav- 
ored by  the  Graduate  Director  and  two 
of  the  student  directors,  was  supposed 
to  be  unfavorable  to  a  return  to  the 
Conference,  and  in  general  to  be  in 
favor  of  a  liberal  athletic  policy.  Had 
he  been  seated  upon  the  Board  his 
vote  would  have  been  the  deciding 
vote  in  the  election  of  the  two  stu- 
dent members  of  the  reorganized 
Board  in  Control  of  Athletics,  as  the 
division  in  his  own  election  clearly  in- 
dicated the  sentiment  of  the  members 
upon  the  general  Conference  question. 
Failing  in  breaking  the  deadlock,  how- 
ever, the  Board  of  Directors  proceed- 
ed to  the  election  of  the  two  student 
members  of  the  Board  in  Control,  as 
requested  by  the  Regents,  and  while 
there  was  nothing  absolutely  illegal 
in  the  election,  they  laid  themselves 
open  to  the  charge  of  pursuing  a  dis- 
ingenuous policy.  C  The  meeting 
was  called  for  12:15,  Tuesday,  Nov. 
26,  with  the  six  members,  including 


Graduate  Director  Baird,  present,  as 
well  as  the  captains  of  the  University 
teams.  General  discussion  apparently 
followed  for  some  time,  until  one  di- 
rector, who  was  opposed  to  the  policy 
of  breaking  with  the  Conference,  ex- 
cept as  an  extreme  measure,  was 
forced  to  leave  for  a  class.  During 
his  absence,  the  chairman  of  the  Board 
practically  forced  the  election  of  the 
two  student  members  of  the  Board  in 
Control  in  face  of  the  protests  of  the 
other  two  conservative  members,  giv- 
ing as  an  excuse  that  he  regarded  the 
letter  of  President  Angell  to  elect  by 
Dec.  I,  mandatory.  One  strongly  anti- 
Conference  member,  Magoffin,  the 
captain  of  the  football  team,  was  elect- 
ed, and  in  the  other  case  the  result 
was  a  tie.  Graduate  Director  Baird 
having  the  deciding  vote,  he  cast  it 
for  the  anti-Conference  man,  Dudley 
R.  Kennedy,  '08/.  Within  a  very  few 
minutes  after  this  action  was  taken, 
the  member  of  the  Board  who  had 
gone  to  class,  returned.  C  Owing  to 
the  importance  of  this  election  and  its 
influence  on  the  question  of  the  gen- 
eral attitude  of  Michigan  toward  the 
Conference,  it  has  seemed  to  many 
an  extremely  unfortunate  circum- 
stance that  the  vote  was  not  taken  by 
the  Board  when  all  the  members  were 
present. 


Such,  in  small  part, 
IN  STUDENT  was  the  situation 
OPINION  which  roused  certain 

students  to  action. 
There  had  been  rumors,  and  in  fact, 
definite  charges  of  traded  votes  and 
fraternity  support  which  added  to  the 
heat  of  the  discussion,  following  the 
letter  of  Dec.  3,  in  the  "Daily."  This 
letter  contained  definite  charges,  which 
were  not  denied  in  any  convincing 
fashion.  As  far  as  the  campaign  for 
the  election  of  the  seventh  man  to 
the  Board  of  Directors  of  the  Ath- 
letic Association,  which  led  to  the 
deadlock,  may  be  judged  from  the  dis-

in  the  Daily,  together  with  student 
committee  meetings,  followed.  The 
rallying  point  was  reform  in  the  con- 
stitution of  the  Athletic  Association, 
which  had  become  apparently  an  ex- 
ceedingly easy-going  and  convenient 
vehicle.  When  the  situation  became 
generally  known,  it  aroused  the  ire  of 
several  of  the  students,  who  were  not 
afraid  to  speak  plainly.  They  first 
demanded  a  modification  of  that  clause 
in  the. constitution  which  made  it  pos- 
sible for  the  Graduate  Director  to  vote 
in  the  meetings  reading  as  follows*: 
"He  (the  Graduate  Director)  shall  be 
member  with  equal  rights  of  the 
Board  of  Directors."  To  this  various 
amendments  were  suggested,  as  th^ 
feeling  became  very  general  that 
while  his  powers  were  rightly  exer- 
cised, in  so  far  as  they  pertained  to 
athletics,  where  his  knowledge  and 
special  experience  might  be  of  direct 
benefit,  it  was  also  felt  that  in  purely 
student  affairs,  the  vote  of  the  Grad- 
uate Director,  where  it  was  a  deciding 
ballot  as  in  this  instance,  was  unde- 
sirable. C  At  a  meeting  held  at  the 
Union,  Saturday,  Dec.  7,  composed 
of  students  from  various  college  or- 
ganizations and  departments,  definite 
steps  were  taken  after  long  discussion. 
As  summed  up  by  the  Daily,  the  re- 
sult seemed  about  as  follows: 

That  the  Graduate  Director  should  not 
be  allowed  to  vote  in  such  purely  student 
matters  as  the  filling  of  vacancies  in  the 
board  of  directors. 

That  the  present  agitation  is  quite  dis- 
tinct from  the  Conference  question. 

That  there  is  no  attempt  on  the  part  of 
those  favoring  reform  to  bring  about  a  re- 
consideration of  the  election  of  Magoffin 
and  Kennedy  to  the  Board  in  Control. 

That  the  agitation  was  inspired  by  prin- 
ciples, and  not  by  personal  feeling  on  the 
part  of  disgruntled  office-seekers. 

That  the  root  of  the  evil  is  not  with  cer- 
tain officers  of  the  Athletic  Association,  or 


any  other  individual  whose  name  has  been 
mentioned  in  recent  discussions  but  rather 
the  particular  brand  of  student  dishonesty 
known  generally  as  "campus  politics.'' 

That  the  situation  now  is  no  worse — per- 
haps even  better — than  in  former  years; 
but  that  the  time  has  come  to  improve  it; 
if  by  any  means  whatever  this  be  possible. 

C  At  this  same  meeting  a  resolution 
was  also  passed  asking  for  the  ap- 
pointment within  a  week  of  a  commit- 
tee of  seven,  five  students  and  two 
alumni,  to  prepare  amendments  to  the 
constitution  of  the  Athletic  Associa- 
tion to  be  voted  on  at  the  January 
meeting.  A  student  committee  was 
also  appointed  to  consider  and  inau- 
gurate, if  possible,  a  reform  movement 
in  politics.  Both  of  these  committees 
took  up  the  questions  immediately, 
and  the  reform  committee  met  with 
a  committee  from  the  Student  Coun- 
cil, which  had  been  working  independ- 
ently upon  the  same  subject,  and  as 
a  result  the  following  report  was  pre- 
sented to  the  Student  Council  upon 
the  general  situation: 

1.  It  is  our  deliberate  judgment  that  im- 
provement in  political  methods  lies  not  in 
promulgating  rules,  nor  in  impartially  call- 
mg  every  politician  disreputable,  but  in 
stimulating  and  defining  student  sentiment 
against  specific  sorts  of  objectionable  po- 
litical conduct. 

2.  We  are  convinced  that  the  best  cam- 
pus opinion  will  stigmatize  him  who  asks, 
and  him  who  gives,  a  hasty  pledge  of  sup- 
port. It  will  also  disapprove  by  voice  and 
vote  all  trading  of  support,  by  "ticket"  or 
otherwise,  and  all  organization  based  on 
mutual  trading.  It  will  not  object  to  per- 
sonal solicitation  which  scrupulously  re- 
frains from  asking  pledges. 

3.  We  suggest  sober  investigation  by 
the  Student  Council,  with  the  so-operation 
of  persons  interested,  until  public  attention 
agam  becomes  directed  to  politics,  perhaps 
because  of  some  impending  election.  Ap- 
propriate and  deliberate  action  should  then 
come  with  effect,  and  receive  the  backing 
of  organized  public  opinion. 

4.  Meanwhile,  continued  discussion  ev- 
enrwherc,  especially  by  members  of  the 
enlarged  committee  and  others  interested 
in  improvement,  is  our  only  immediate  pro- 
gram.

EVENT  AND  COMMENT

In  thus  discussing 
IN  STEP  WITH  editorially  this  ques- 
THB  TIMES  tion  of  athletic  re- 
form, The  Alumnus 
does  not  wish  to  seem  to  be  thought 
an  alarmist.  From  an  experience 
with  student  affairs,  which  has  cover- 
ed some  years,  we  are  firm  in  the 
opinion  that  student  politics  are  stead- 
ily growing  cleaner.  This  fact,  how- 
ever, does  not  make  the  faults  noted 
any  less  glaring,  nor  a  remedy  less 
necessary.  It  is  only  that  we  are 
marching  in  step  with  the  times.  And 
the  American  citizen,  who  is  turning 
introspective  eyes  upon  the  affairs  of 
his  commonwealth,  is  setting  a  good 
example  for  our  little  world  where 
men  are  in  the  making.  While  we 
have  not  given  all  the  situation  in  the 
preceding  paragraphs,  we  have  shown 
a  little  of  the  ferment  that  is  working 
in  the  undergraduate  mind.  We  might 
go  further  into  detail  and  quote  some 
of  the  very  significant  statements 
made  by  the  various  students  and  pub- 
lished in  the  Daily,  but  we  hardly  be- 
lieve the  occasion  justifies  the  space. 
C  We  cannot  help,  however,  but  echo 
one  frank  criticism  in  which  the  Presi- 
dent of  the  Senior  Law  Class  suggests 
that  "One  of  the  chief  faults  to  be 
found  with  the  present  Athletic  Asso- 
ciation is  the  mystery  and  secrecy  with 
which  its  affairs  are  conducted.  There 
is  nothing  so  sure  to  invite  suspicion 
and  criticism,  and  to  kill  loyalty  and 
enthusiasm  among  the  students  gener- 
ally, as  to  withold  from  them  those 
facts  regarding  the  election  of  offi- 
cers, the  expenditures  of  funds,  and 
the  general  policy  of  the  Association 
that  they  are  entitled  to  know.  Per- 
fect publicity  in  all  matters  relating 
to  the  Association  would  do  much  to 
disarm  unfounded  criticism  and  sus- 
picion and  would  furnish  a  corrective 
for  many  of  the  evils  that  undoubtedly 
do  exist."  C  We  are  inclined  to  be- 
lieve that  the  radical  elimination  of  the 
most  conspicuous  evils  in  student  poli- 
tics is  impossible.    This  reform,  as  in 


the  case  of  all  reforms,  must  beg^n  at 
the  bottom  and  be  founded  upon  edu- 
cation and  elevation  of  public  senti- 
ment. It  must  come  through  an  awak- 
ened conscience  on  the  part  of  the  stu- 
dents. There  are  always  one  or  two 
men  in  every  class,  every  club,  every 
department  who  crystallize  the  at- 
titude of  their  fellows  and  the 
step  from  merely  molding  the 
opinion  of  his  fellows  to  mak- 
ing a  practical  offer  of  his  pat- 
ronage" is  insidious  and  we  fear  some- 
times inevitable.  The  vitality  of  our 
departmental  and  fraternity  life  is  re- 
sponsible and  not  until  we  can  break 
down  the  divisions  between  these  stu- 
dent stata  materially,  can  we  hope 
to  eliminate  many  of  the  obvious  evils. 
The  remedies  lie  in  the  cause  rather 
than  the  effect.  In  the  first  place,  is 
suggested  an  emphasis  of  University 
life  as  a  whole;  with  every  student, 
first  a  Michigan  man  and  then,  if 
must  be,  a  Lit,  Law,  or  Medic,  or  a 
member  of  this,  that,  or  the  other  fra- 
ternity. And  in  the  second  place,  a 
student  must  be  trained  into  a  sense 
of  responsibility,  into  a  consciousness 
of  the  fact  that  trading  a  vote  is  in  a 
sense  selling  a  vote,  and  that  if  any- 
where in  the  world  politics  in  a  Uni- 
versity should  be  upon  an  ideal  plane. 


AS  REGARDS 
THE  CON. 
FBRENCE 


We  find  little  to  say 
about  the  Conference 
situation.  Much  has 
happened,  but  more 
is  to  come,  and  the  results  will  be 
known  before  this  number  of  The 
Alumnus  reaches  its  readers.  At  the 
last  meeting  of  the  Conference,  held 
at  Chicago  Jan.  4,  at  which  Professor 
George  W.  Patterson,  the  chairman 
of  the  new  Board  in  Control  of  Ath- 
letics, was  Michigan's  representative, 
a  resolution  was  passed  extending  to 
Feb.  I,  the  time  when  the  resolution

Conference  of  universities  which  re- 
fuse to  accept  rules  passed  by  a  two-

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[January 


thirds  majority  (commonly  called  the 
White  resolution)  should  apply  to  the 
University  of  Michigan.  This  resolu- 
tion, had  it  been  allowed  to  operate 
when  Michigan  refused,  last  April,  to 
accept  certain  of  the  rules  of  the  Con- 
ference, would  have  brought  Michi- 
gan's relations  with  the  Conference  to 
an  end  at  that  time. ,  Instead  of  allow- 
ing the  White  resolution  to  operate, 
however,  the  Conference  passed  a 
resolution  of  non-intercourse  with 
Michigan  at  that  time.  The  resolu- 
tion which  was  passed  Jan.  4  reads 
as  follows: 

Resolved,  that  the  White  resolution  go 
into  effect  in  respect  to  Michigan,  unless 
its  representative  informs  the  President  of 
the  Conference  on  or  before  Feb.  i,  1908, 
that  by  vote  of  the  Board  in  Control 
Michigan  will  conform  to  all  of  the  Con- 
ference rules. 

C  Professor  Patterson,  in  speaking 
of  the  attitude  of  the  Conference, 
said:  "The  representatives  of  the 
other  universities  were  entirely  friend- 
ly to  Michigan;  they  thought  it  only 
fair,  however,  that  Michigan  should 
show  her  hand  by  Feb.  i,  in  view  of 
the  time  required  to  make  schedules 
for  the  coming  year.  The  reports  in 
certain  papers  that  Michigan's  repre- 
sentative left  the  Conference  *in  a 
huff*  were  entirely  without  founda- 
tion, as  he  remained  until  the  adjourn- 
ment of  the  Conference.  While  the 
modifications  suggested  by  Michigan's 
delegate  were  not  passed,  it  should  be 
borne  in  mind  that  the  legislation 
which  we  wish  to  repeal  controls  the 
other  universities  just  as  it  will  Mich- 
igan." The  Conference  passed  by  a 
narrow  vote  of  five  to  four  the  seven- 
game  sclnedule,  which  will  now  be 
submitted  to  the  various  colleges  for 
ratification.  Professor  Patterson  pre- 
sented the  request  of  the  Michigan 
Board  in  Control  for  the  repeal  of  the 
retroactive  clause,  and  the  establish- 
ment of  a  training  table,  but  they  were 
voted  down.  C  From  this  it  will  be 
seen  that  the  responsibility  has  been 
placed     squarely     with      Michigan's 


Board  in  Control,  and  at  the  present 
writing  we  are  awaiting  its  decision. 
Shall  we  or  shall  we  not  stay  by  the 
Conference?  In  homely  phrase  we 
have  until  Feb.  i  "to  fish  or  cut  bait." 


With  Coach  Yost, 
rj?»l'?J?.o^  we  are  inclined  to  re- 
CHARGES  sent  the  charges  re- 
cently preferred 
against  Michigan's  conduct  in  athletic 
affairs,  by  President  Jordan  of  Stan- 
ford. Frankly,  we  do  not  believe 
them.  But  if  by  any  chance  there  is 
any  truth  in  these  statements  we  wish 
it  brought  out,  once  for  all,  and  aired 
thoroughly,  that  we  may  find  the  sore 
spot  and  apply  the  proper  remedy.  We 
are  not  afraid  of  facts,  but  we  do  fear 
intangible  insinuations,  which  prove 
nothing,  but  hurt  a  great  deal.  We 
feel  that  this  flinging  unsupported 
charges  in  the  face  of  a  sister  Uni- 
versity is  undignified  in  the  President 
of  a  leading  educational  institution, 
and  we  sympathize  with  Mr.  Yost  in 
his  direct  challenge  as  published  re- 
cently in  the  pewspapers.  Personally, 
we  have  the  highest  regard  for  Mr. 
Yost's  personal  integrity,  and  we  be- 
lieve that  the  facts  have  been  misrep- 
resented to  President  Jordan.  C  We 
are  quite  willing  to  admit  that  in  com- 
mon with  every  universitv  in  the  coun- 
try, Michigan  at  one  time  perhaps 
fell  short  of  the  present  ideal  of  ama- 
teur sportsmanship.  It  was  not  so 
very  many  years  ago,  that  every  col- 
lege in  the  country  was  a  law  unto 
itself  in  athletic  affairs,  and  "devil 
take  the  hindmost."  There  simply 
were  no  standards;  the  question  had 
not  even  become  a  serious  one.  We 
are  aware  now  of  its  import,  and  are 
trying  to  have  a  part  in  the  forward 
movement.  But  we  are  not  willing 
to  admit  any  such  insinuations  as  are 
made  by  President  Jordan,  except 
when  they  are  backed  by  proof,  and 
we  take  the  liberty  of  suggesting  that 
such  a  course  would  seem  the  onlv

proper  way  in  a  case  of  this  sort. 
It  is  very  easy  to  manufacture  a  whole 
falsehood  out  of  a  half  truth,  and  this 
we  believe  is  the  case.  Meanwhile,  let 
us  have  the  facts  by  all  means. 


From  the  new  en- 
RBGiSTRATiONS  trance  rules  for  the 
AND  ELECTIONS  Literary  Department, 

as  published  in  the 
Regents*  proceedings  on  page  146,  it 
will  be  seen  that  the  days  of  dilettante 
nibbling  for  a  week  or  so  at  prospec- 
tive courses,  or  a  return  to  college  a 
week  late,  are  past.  The  present  cus- 
tom of  "visiting"  a  dozen  courses  and 
picking  out  those  that  seem  to  prom- 
ise best,  is  made  difficult  by  the  new 
rule  imposing  a  fine  for  submitting 
election  blanks  later  than  the  Satur- 
day preceding  the  mid-year  exams. 
To  those  who  remember  that  delight- 
ful rush  between  5 :30  and  6  :oo  p.  m. 
on  certain  Saturday  evenings  in  or- 
der to  get  one's  final  decision  for  the 
semester's  work  "under  the  wire,"  this 
will  seem  a  great  hardship.  C  The 
coming  student  will  never  know  the 
excitement  he  has  missed.  It  was  the 
uncertainty  of  the  final  outcome  be- 
tween this  course  in  Philosophy,  or 
that  equally  tempting  one  offered  by 
the  Department  of  Zoology,  with  lab- 
oratory experiments  on  cats  and  frogs, 
or  the  discussion  of  the  latest  liter- 
ary lights,  in  some  seminar,  including 
an  individual  desk  in  those  rooms, 
above  the  library  so  heavily  charged 
with  learning,  as  an  alternative,  that 
gave  the  question  such  intense  import. 
Or  perhaps  it  was  only  a  choice  be- 
tween two  arrant  "snaps";  with  the 
program  of  extra-academic  pleasures 
in  the  spring-time  always  in  mind. 
Yet  on  the  spot  let  it  be  acknowledged 
that  we  have  hunted  "snaps"  in  our 
day;  we  learned  that  it  is  not  an 
invariable  rule  that  the  most  dif- 
ficult courses  are  "by  the  same 
token"  the  most  valuable.  We 
do     not     regard      the      term     "cul- 


ture course"  as  euphemistic,  and  some- 
times we  are  inclined  to  wish  that  we 
might  have  more  of  them.  C  Then 
there  is  a  new  rule  about  registering. 
We  fear  that  it  will  seriously  inter- 
fere with  those  privileged  mortals  who 
always  returned  upon  Saturday  of 
the  first  week,  with  the  casual  remark 
that  they  "suppose  one  must  register," 
glanced  grandly  at  an  announcement, 
picked  out  forthwith  a  course  with 
reference  entirely  to  convenient  hours, 
poked  the  result  into  the  Dean's  well- 
stuffed  receptacle  for  such  elections, 
and  then  waited  to  let  their  winning 
personality  make  it  right  with  the  in- 
structors the  following  week.  Pic- 
turesque free-lances  these,  and  in  the 
future  we  may  well  sigh  for  the  "good 
old  days."  C  But  those  fines  are 
"the  most  unkindest  cut."  The  privi- 
lege of  returning  late  is  much  to  be 
prized,  but  $5.00  is  also  a  high  price 
to  pay.  We  predict  this  year  an  early 
return  of  collegiate  sparrows  and  rob- 
ins together  with  an  early  winter  in 
the  hearts  of  recalcitrants.  Nor  will 
there  be  many  changes  from  election 
blanks  at  the  price  named — $1.00  pjer 
alteration.  The  committee  on  elec- 
tions showed  canny  foresight  in  tak- 
ing this  measure ;  henceforth,  elections 
will  be  considered  more  carefully  and. 
advice  may  be  offered  and  sought 
more  freely.  All  of  which  is  highly 
desirable. 


AN  APOLOGY 


Apologies  and  cor- 
rections never  come 
easy  to  the  editorial 
pen.  The  editor  of 
The  Alumnus  wishes  that  he  might 
ascend  those  Olympian  heights  where 
sits  the  editor  of  a  famous  British 
daily,  who  never  corrects  or  "takes 
back"  anything.  In  this  case  we  feel 
distinctly  aggrieved  because  it  was 
not  our  fault  that  Professor  Lloyd's 
article  last  month  on  Phi  Beta  Kappa 
was  sufficiently  "pied"  to  be  more  or 
less    unintelligible.      Mistakes    occa-

sionally  occur,  even  in  The  Alum- 
nus, and  no  one  is  ever  more  con- 
scious than  the  editor,  but  when  they 
are  not  vital  to  sequence  and  intelligi- 
bility, he  usually  mutters  something 
uncomplimentary  and  personal,  hop- 
ing to  do  better  next  time.  But  this 
time  an  unfortunate  mistake  has  made 
it  seem  advisable  to  reprint  the  three 
pages  containing  Professor  Lloyd's 
article.  They  will  be  found  among 
the  advertising  pages  in  this  number, 
and  may  be  inserted  in  the  proper 
place  by  those  who  wish  to  bind  this 
volume  of  The  Alumnus.  We  also 
take  this  opportunity  to  acknowledge 
to  Mr.  Hiram  S.  Cody,  '09,  our  in- 
debtedness for  the  photograph  of  the 
Michigan-Pennsylvania  game,  which 
we  published  last  month. 


EVENT  IN  BRIEF 

Rooms  have  been  engaged  by  the 
Republican  Club  at  the  University, 
with  facilities  for  study  and  discussion 
in  order  that  members  may  familiarize 
themselves  with  political  issues  for  the 
coming  campaign.  Addresses  are  to 
be  given  before  the  members  every 
week. 

Sheridan's  comedy,  "A  School  for 
Scandal"  will  be  presented  at  the 
Whitney  Opera  House,  Feb.  14,  under 
the  auspices  of  the  Woman's  League 
of  the  University.  The  cast  will  be 
coached  by  Mrs.  William  Hofmann, 
head  of  the  Department  of  Dramatic 
Art,  School  of  Music. 

As  an  innovation  in  college  jour- 
nalism, replacing  in  part  the  defunct 
Inlander,  which  has  been  discontinued 
owing  to  financial  reasons,  the  Daily 
issued  on  Sunday,  Dec.  15,  a  literary 
supplement  which  proved  popular.  It 
consisted  of  four  pages  of  reading 
matter,  short  stories,  reviews,  sketch- 
es and  poems,  and  was  edited  by  Pro- 
fessor Scott's  class  in  newspaper 
writing. 


A  Club  known  as  the  Anoangpan- 
g^lan  Club  has  recently  been  organ- 
ized at  the  University  by  men  who 
have  lived  at  one  time  or  another  in 
the  Philippine  Islands.  The  purpose 
is  given  as  the  promotion  of  good 
fellowship,  and  the  discussion  of  mat-  ' 
ters  of  special  interest  concerning  the 
Islands. 

There  are  696  women  registered  in 
the  Department  of  Literature,  Science 
and  the  Arts,  an  increase  of  16  over 
last  year;  33  are  registered  in  the 
Medical  and  Homoeopathic  Depart- 
ments, and  the  Law  and  Engineering 
Departments  each  have  one  woman 
student.  Last  Summer  School  showed 
a  large  majority  of  women. 

The  report  made  to  the  Directors  of 
the  University  of  Michigan  Union 
upon  its  first  six  weeks  in  the  Club 
House  has  shown  that  the  enterprise 
is  upon  a  firm  basis.  In  addition  to 
the  profit  which  for  the  first  time  in 
the  history  of  the  undertaking  the 
Union  banquet  netted,  the  restaurant, 
and  other  undertakings  in  the  Club 
House,  showed  an  even  balance  sheet. 
As  this  included  the  trying  opening 
weeks,  it  is  safe  to  predict  that  before 
the  end  of  the  year  these  will  prob- 
ably more  than  pay  for  themselves. 

The  Cercle  Frangais,  which  present- 
ed "Le  Bourgeois  Gentilhomme"  so 
successfully  last  year,  will  present 
another  of  Moliere's  comedies, 
"L'Avare,"  on  May  i.  This  will  com- 
plete the  program  prepared  by  the 
Cercle  for  the  year.  A  "soiree  dra- 
matique  et  musicale"  was  held  Dec. 
13,  in  which  six  scenes  from  Moliire's 
"Les  Femmes  Savantes"  were  given, 
as  well  as  a  comedy  by  Jules  Moi- 
neux  "Les  Deux  Sourds."  In  addi- 
tion to  these,  two  illustrated  lectures 
are  offered  in  the  course  on  Feb.  20

EVENTS  IN  BRIEF 


139 


The  first  shipment  of  a  large  num- 
ber of  plaster  casts  upon  architectural 
subjects  were  received  recently  by 
Professor  Lorch  of  the  Department  of 
Architecture.  The  collection  includes 
same  very  fine  examples  from  various 
buildings  on  the  Acropolis,  two  fine 
capitals  from  the  Alhambra,  as  well  as 
various  details  from  many  French 
and  Italian  churches. 

John  A.  Fairlie,  Professor  of  Ad- 
ministrative Law,  who  is  at  present 
a  member  of  the  Michigan  Constitu- 
tional Convention,  has  been  granted 
leave  of  absence  by  the  Regents  for 
the  second  semester.  He  has  been 
requested  to  undertake  some  special 
investigations  for  the  Water  Ways 
Commission,  which  has  been  estab- 
lished by  President  Roosevelt. 

According  to  recent  announcement, 
the  University  is  soon  to  have  a  seis- 
mographic  instrument  for  the  equip- 
ment of  an  earthquake  station  at  the 
University.  When  installed,  the  sta- 
tion will  be  superior  to  any  upon  this 
side  of  the  Atlantic.  A  lecture  course 
in  seismic  geology  is  also  being  given 
to  a  small  group  of  advanced  students. 
This  is  now  the  only  University 
course  upon  earthquakes  offered  out- 
side of  Japan. 

The  Presidential  address  of  the 
Modem  Language  Association  held 
at  Columbus,  Ohio,  Dec.  28,  1907,  on 
''The  Genesis  of  Speech,"  delivered  by 
Professor  F.  N.  Scott  of  Michigan,  de- 
served and  received  unusual  attention. 
Whatever  view  may  be  adopted  con- 
cerning this  obscure  matter,  such  a 
sane,  learned,  and  methodical  discus- 
sion, always  distinctly  separating  the- 
ory from  fact  and  assigning  to  each 
its  due  weight,  cannot  fail  to  be  of 
value.  The  starting  point  of  the  argu- 
ment was  the  division  of  all  bodily 
movements  on  grounds  either  of  util- 
ity or  of  expression,  the  former  often 
passing  into  the  latter  and  thus  giving 
rise  to  gestures,  to  muscular  contrac- 


tions, to  disturbances  of  respiration, 
and  in  this  way  ultimately  to  signifi- 
cant vocal  sounds.  The  exposition 
was  clear  and  orderly  in  each  step, 
the  illustrations  abundant  and  origi- 
nal, and  the  complicated  evidence  was 
unfolded,  and  finally  reduced  to  sim- 
plicity by  the  picture,  confessedly  im- 
aginative, of  a  mother  and  child  teach- 
ing each  other  the  elements  of  the  ear- 
liest human  language. 

The  Nation,  Jan.  2,  1908. 

"Michigenda"  is  the  title  of  a  comic 
opera  which  the  University  of  Mich- 
igan Union  is  to  present  Feb.  27  and 
28  at  the  new  Whitney  Opera  House, 
in  Ann  Arbor,  the  successor  of  the 
old  Athens  Theater.  The  book,  and 
music  as  well,  have  been  written  large- 
ly by  students,  and  the  rights  for 
publication  have  already  been  pur- 
chased by  a  large  music  house.  All 
the  parts  in  the  opera  will  be  taken 
by  university  men,  even  to  the  chorus 
"girls." 

The  Michigan  Pioneer  and  Histor- 
ical Society  held  its  third  mid-winter 
meeting  in  the  Law  Building  of  the 
University,  Dec.  13  and  14.  Clarence 
M.  Burton,  '73,  '74/,  was  President  of 
the  organization,  and  a  number  of 
other  Michigan  graduates  are  officers 
of  the  organization.  President  An- 
gell  welcomed  the  Society  at  its  first 
meeting,  Friday  noon.  Among  the 
papers  which  were  read  at  the  meet- 
ings was  "The  Role  of  Great  Men  in 
History"  by  Professor  Richard  Hud- 
son of  the  University;  "The  Bound- 
aries of  the  United  States  as  defined 
by  the  Treaty  of  1872"  by  C.  M.  Bur- 
ton ;  "The  Gateway  of  the  Old  North- 
west" by  Professor  F.  L.  Paxson  of 
the  University;  "Unexplored  Paths 
in  Michigan  History"  by  Professor 
Claude  H.  Van  Tyne;  "The  Mission 
of  Local  History"  by  Reuben  H. 
Thwaites,  President  of  the  Wisconsin 
Historical  Society;  and  "Historical 
Lights  from  Judicial  Decisions"  by

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[Januarv- 


EARLY  ENROLLMENT  AT  AMERICAN 
UNIVERSITIES 

Michigan,  exclusive  of  summer 
school  attendance,  has  a  larger  num- 
ber of  students  than  any  other  Uni- 
versity in  the  country,  according  to 
the  annual  report  on  University  reg- 
istration returns  for  Nov.  i,  1907, 
published  Nov.  29,  1907,  in  Science, 
by  Dr.  Rudolf  Tombo,  Jr.,  Registrar 
of  Columbia  University.  Michigan 
also  stands  third  in  the  list  when  the 
summer  school  is  included;  Harvard 
and  Columbia,  both  of  whom  have  es- 
pecially large  summer  schools,  ex- 
ceeding Michigan  in  the  total.  We 
publish  the  table  on  page  141  in  which 
the  statistics  for  twenty-four  of  the 
leading  universities  of  the  country  ap- 
pear. 

Dr.  Tombo  makes  it  a  point  to  em- 
phasize the  fact  that  large  regis- 
tration is  not  necessarily  synonymous 
with  "great  efficiency  or  high  require- 
ments." This  we  are  ready  to  echo 
at  once.  We  can,  however,  still  feel 
with  him  that  "the  impartial  observer 
m^  be  able  to  draw  some  interesting 
conclusions  from  the  figures  herewith 
presented."  As  we  have  pointed  out 
before,  we  are  not  inclined  to  believe 
that  the  large  attendance  at  this  Uni- 
versity is  an  unmixed  blessing,  espec- 
ially with  the  equipment  as  inadequate 
as  it  is  at  present.  It  may  be,  how- 
ever, considered  in  a  measure  as  an  in- 
dex of  the  regard  in  which  the  Uni- 
versity is  held  in  this  great  and  grow- 
ing section  of  the  country,  and  should 
be  accepted  as  such. 

In  compiling  the  table.  Dr.  Tombo 
remarks  that  it  is  becoming  increas- 
ingly difficult  to  retain  uniformity,  and 
considerable  difficulty  arises,  especial- 
ly in  extension  and  similar  courses, 
since  in  some  instances  students  in 
attendance  on  such  courses  are  in- 
cluded in  regular  enrollment,  whereas 
in  others  they  are  carefully  excluded. 
There  is  also  some  difficulty  both  in 
these  courses  and  in  the  summer 
school  in  distinguishing  from  students 


who  have  completed  the  secondary 
school  course  from  those  who  have 
not. 

In  a  comparison  of  these  figures 
with  those  published  a  year  ago  and 
reprinted  in  The  Alumnus  for  Feb- 
ruary, 1907,  it  will  be  seen  that  only 
three  institutions  have  suffered  a  loss 
in  enrollment,  —  Princeton,  3.03%, 
Chicago,  2.91%,  and  Yale,  about  1%, 
for  which  a  falling  off  in  the  attend- 
ance at  the  summer  school  is  in  each 
case  assigned  as  a  reason.  The  larg- 
est gains  in  terms  of  student  units 
were  made  this  year  by  Columbia, 
New  York  University,  Illinois,  Wis- 
consin, Michigan,  and  Minnesota,  two 
eastern  and  four  western  universities. 
The  enrollment  has  remained  station- 
ary at  Harvard,  Nebraska,  and  Vir- 
ginia, while  the  other  institutions 
show  a  fair  increase.  Comparing  the 
year's  enrollment  with  that  of  1902, 
it  will  be  seen  that  every  institution, 
with  five  exceptions,  exhibits  a 
growth, — ^the  exceptions  being  Cali- 
fornia, Harvard,  Johns  Hopkins, 
Northwestern,  and  Princeton, — ^the 
largest  g^ins  during  this  five  years' 
period  having  been  made  by  Pennsyl- 
vania, New  York  University,  Illinois, 
Michigan,  Syracuse,  Cornell,  Colum- 
bia, and  Missouri,  five  eastern  and 
three  western  institutions.  If  the 
comparison  is  carried  a  little  further, 
considering  the  twelve  institutions 
that  have  made  the  most  consistent 
gains  during  this  time,  we  find  that 
six  are  located  in  the  Bast  and  six  in 
the  West, — Iowa,  Minnesota,  and 
Yale  being  the  four  Universities  to  be 
added. 

In  comparing  the  rank  for  1906  and 
1907  Dr.  Tombo  makes  the  following 
observations:  "According  to  the  fig- 
ures for  1906,  the  twenty-three  uni- 
versities included  in  the  table  ranked 
as  follows :  Harvard,  Chicago,  Mich- 
igan, Columbia,  Cornell,  Minnesota, 
Pennsylvania,  Illinois,  Yale,  New 
York  University,  California,  Wiscon- 
sin, Syracuse,  Nebraska,  Northwest-

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[January 


em,  Ohio,  Missouri,  Kansas,  Stan- 
ford, Indiana,  Princeton,  Virginia, 
Johns  Hopkins.  Comparing  this  with 
the  order  for  1907,  we  notice  that  Co- 
himbia  has  resumed  second  place, 
while  Michigan  has  passed  Chicago. 
The  changes  are  fewer  this  year  than 
they  have  been  for  some  time,  the  only 
other  transpositions  being  New  York 
University  and  Yale,  Wisconsin  and 
California,  Indiana  and  Stanford,  the 
institution  first  mentioned  in  each 
pair  having  passed  the  other  since  last 
year.  Omitting  the  summer  session 
registration  the  order  is  somewhat 
changed,  although  practically  identi- 
cal with  that  of  last  year,  the  only 
changes  in  position  being  due  to  the 
passing  of  Harvard  by  Michigan,  of 
Pennsylvania  and  Cornell  by  Minne- 
sota, and  of  Syracuse  and  California 
by  Wisconsin.  The  order  this  fall  is 
as  follows:  Michigan,  Harvard,  Co- 
lumbia, Minnesota,  Pennsylvania, 
Cornell,  Illinois,  Yale,  New  York  Un- 
iversity, Wisconsin,  Syracuse,  Cali- 
fornia, Nebraska,  Northwestern,  Chi- 
cago, Ohio,  Iowa,  Missouri,  Kansas, 
Stanford,  Princeton,  Indiana,  Vir- 
ginia, Johns  Hopkins." 

There  still  continues  to  be  a  fairly 
regular  gain  in  the  academic  depart- 
ments, though  not  as  consistent  as  it 
was  a  year  ago.  At  three  prominent 
state  institutions  of  the  West  we  dis- 
cover a  decrease  in  the  number  of 
male  students,  while  at  the  same  time 
there  is  all  increase  in  the  number  of 
women  students.  The  opposite  is 
true,  however,  in  two  Eastern  insti- 
tutions. Harvard  and  New  Yoric  Un- 
iversity, where  there  is  an  increase  in 
the  number  of  male  academic  students 
accompanied  by  a  decrease  in  the 
number  of  women.  "It  is  no  doubt 
safe,"  says  Dr.  Tombo,  "to  draw  the 
broad  conclusion  that  there  is  a  more 
pronounced  tendency  on  the  part  of 
eastern  girls  to  attend  separate  col- 
leges for  women  and  this  is  borne  out 
in  the  fact  that  there  has  been  a  steady 
g^in  in  the  enrollment  of  colleges  like 


Smith,  Vassar,  Bryn  Mawr,  etc.,  dur- 
ing the  past  few  years."  There  are 
more  than  twice  as  many  women  as 
men  at  California  and  Nebraska.  Chi- 
cago, Indiana,  Michigan,  Missouri, 
and  Wisconsin  are  the  only  western 
institutions  that  enroll  more  men  than 
women  in  the  academic  department. 

With  the  exception  of  Syracuse, 
Virginia,  and  Harvard,  all  the  scien- 
tific schools  show  an  increase,  quite 
considerable  in  some  cases,  while  Co- 
lumbia, Princeton,  and  Yale  report  a 
decrease  in  the  number  of  scientific 
students,  although  the  falling  oflF 
in  the  Lawrence  Scientific  School  at 
Harvard  is  to  be  explained  by  the 
gradual  working  out  of  the  system 
inaugurated  by  the  establishment  of 
a  new  graduate  school  of  applied  sci- 
ence. Yale,  New  York  University, 
and  Chicago  have  made  the  largest 
gains  in  law,  while  Indiana,  North- 
western, Harvard,  and  Johns  Hop- 
kins report  the  largest  increase  in  the 
number  of  medical  students.  Further, 
the  latest  report  of  the  Commissioner 
of  Education  states  that  the  total  num- 
ber of  law  students  in  the  country 
during  the  year  1904-05  was  larger 
than  ever  before,  14,714,  whereas  the 
number  of  medical  students  had  de- 
creased by  1,114  to  25,835. 

The  graduate  schools  report  healthy 
gains,  with  the  exception  of  Cornell, 
Kansas,  Virginia,  and  Yale,  as  is  true 
of  the  agricultural  schools  excepting 
Harvard,  Ohio,  and  Wisconsin.  All 
the  schools  of  architecture,  with  the 
exception  of  Pennsylvania,  exhibit  a 
gain,  while  dentistry  has  increased 
everywhere  except  at  Illinois.  The 
divinity  schools,  on  the  other  hand, 
show  a  decrease  at  all  institutions  ex- 
cept Northwestern.  Columbia  is  the 
only  school  that  reports  a  noteworthy 
gain  in  pedagogy.  Harvard  still 
maintains  the  precedent  she  has  held 
for  a  number  of  years  in  the  number 
of  students  in  the  academic  depart- 
ment. Taking  both  men  and  women 
into  consideration,   the  order  would

be  Harvard,  Michigan,  Wisconsin, 
Stanford,  Chicago,  Minnesota,  Cali- 
fornia, Syracuse,  Yale,  and  Colum- 
bia, all  of  which  enroll  over  one  thou- 
sand academic  students.  Cornell, 
Michigan,  and  Illinois  are  the  only 
universities  in  the  list  that  attract 
over  one  thousand  students  to  their 
scientific  schools.  New  Yoric  Univer- 
sity still  maintains  the  largest  law 
department,  with  Michigan  second, 
Harvard  third,  and  Minnesota  fourth, 
although  Harvard  is  the  only  one  of 
the  four  to  demand  a  baccalaureate 
degree  for  admission.  Pennsylvania 
still  has  the  largest  medical  school, 
with  Northwestern  second,  and  New 
York  University  third.  Columbia  en- 
rolls 938  students  in  her  graduate 
school,  by  far  the  largest.  Harvard 
with  442,  Chicago  with  381,  Wiscon- 
sin with  353,  following  in  the  order 
named. 

Minnesota  has  the  largest  school  in 
agriculture,  enrolling  more  than  twice 
as  many  students  as  Illinois,  its  clos- 
est competitor,  while  the  latter  leads 
in  the  students  in  architecture. 

In  compiling  a  list  of  the  number 
of  degrees  granted  by  the  number  of 
institutions  some  difficulty  was  ex- 
perienced by  reason  of  the  large  va- 
riety of  degrees  awarded.  Taking 
the  total  number,  exclusive  of  honor- 
ary degrees,  and  diplomas  for  teach- 
ing, and  the  like,  it  was  seen  that  the 
greatest  number,  namely,  1,187,  was 
awarded  by  Harvard,  the  other  in- 
stitutions ranking  in  the  following  or- 
der: Michigan,  876;  Columbia,  809; 
Yale,  800;  Cornell,  714;  Illinois,  616; 
Pennsylvania,  557;  Chicago,  538; 
Wisconsin,  516;  Northwestern,  508; 
Minnesota,  502 ;  California,  482 ;  New 
York  University,  409 ;  Princeton,  336 ; 
Syracuse,  327;  Iowa,  325;  Nebraska, 
296 ;  Indiana,  291 ;  Missouri,  263 ; 
Ohio  State,  249;  Kansas,  246;  Stah- 
ford,  234;  Jolms  Hopkins,  154,  and 
Virginia,  141.  The  largest  number 
of  honorary  degrees,  namely  30,  was 
granted  by  Yale,  Pennsylvania  follow- 


ing with  27  and  Harvard  with  22. 

Harvard,  with  589,  leads  in  the 
number  of  bachelor  of  arts  degrees 
conferred ;  Yale  follows  with  347,  and 
then  comes  Michigan,  316;  Wiscon- 
sin, 250;  Stanford,  219;  Minnesota, 
193;  Columbia,  189;  Indiana,  186; 
Nebraska,  166;  Cornell,  154,  and 
Princeton,  151. 

In  grouping  together  the  various 
kinds  of  engineering  degrees,  as  well 
as  those  in  the  related  departments  of 
chemistry  and  architecture,  we  find 
that  Cornell  heads  the  list  with  347, 
followed  by  Michigan,  158;  and  Penn- 
sylvania, 100.  The  greatest  number 
of  baccalaureate  degrees  in  law  was 
awarded  by  Michigan,  214;  followed 
by  Harvard,  196 ;  and  New  York  Un- 
iversity, 129. 


A  NEW  BOARD  IN  CONTROL  OF 
ATHLETICS 

At  the  last  meeting  of  the  Board  of 
Regents,  held  Dec.  13,  the  election  of 
the  Faculty  members  of  the  Board  in 
Control  of  Athletics  was  announced 
by  the  following  letter  from  the  Pres- 
ident and  the  Deans  of  the  various 
departments :

in   athletics,   and   familiar  with  them   and 
will,  we  trust,  be  confirmed  by  you. 

In  selecting  these  names  we  have  natur- 
ally and  necessarily  had  our  thoughts 
turned  to  the  whole  subject  of  the  proper 
regulation  of  athletics  and  we  have  ven- 
tured to  hope  that  you  would  not  suppose 
that  we  had  passed  beyond  the  limits  of 
our  proper  province  if  we  suggested  a  set 
of  rules  or  regulations,  by  which  such  a 
Board  as  you  have  provided  for,  might  in 
our  opinion  be  wisely  guided  in  the  dis- 
charge of  their  duties. 

Accordingly  we  submit  the  following  for 
your  consideration.

NEW  BIBUCAL  MANUSCRIPT 


145 


At  the  first  meeting  of  the  recon- 
stituted Board,  held  Tuesday,  Dec. 
17,  Professor  George  W.  Patterson, 
the  representative  from  the  Engineer- 
ing Department,  was  elected  chair- 
man. Professor  Alfred  H.  Lloyd, 
from  the  Literary  I>epartment,  was 
made  treasurer,  and  Charles  Baird, 
the  Graduate  Director  of  Athletics, 
though  not  a  member  of  the  Board 
proper,  was  chosen  as  its  secretary. 
Professor  Henry  M.  Bates  was  elect- 
ed Conference  delegate,  with  the 
chairman  of  the  Board  as  alternate. 


NEWLY  DISCOVERED  MANUSCRIPT 
OF  THE  BIBLE 

At  the  meeting  of  the  Archaeologi- 
cal Institute  of  America,  Professor  H. 
A.  Sanders  of  the  University  of  Mich- 
igan reported  on  four  manuscripts  of 
the  Bible,  now  in  the  possession  of 
Charles  L.  Freer,  of  Detroit.  The 
manuscripts  were  bought  by  Mr,  Freer 
early  in  1907  in  Egypt.  They  were 
probably  buried  or  lost  at  the  time  of 
the  Moslem  conquest  in  639  A.  D. 
At  any  rate  the  manuscripts  all  ante- 
date that  period,  nor,  in  the  opinion 
of  Professor  Sanders,  do  they  contain 
any  marks  of  a  second  hand  even, 
which  can  be  placed  later  than  this 
date.  Two  of  the  manuscripts  are  in 
large  uncial  hand,  two  in  small,  and 
there  are  other  variations  sufficient  to 
convince  Professor  Sanders  that  the 
individual  manuscripts  were  written 
at  different  dates,  ranging  from  the 
third  to  the  sixth  century.  He  refers 
to  the  manuscripts  by  the  Roman  nu- 
merals I.,  II.,  III.,  and  IV.  Manu- 
script I.  now  contains  Deuteronomy 
and  Joshua;  Genesis  to  Numbers  in- 
clusive, which  it  once  contained,  are 
missing.  It  is  next  to  the  oldest  of 
the  four  manuscripts,  and  presents  an 
exceptionally  accurate  text  of  this  por- 
tion of  the  Septuagint.  Manuscript 
II.  contains  the  Psalms.  Although  it 
is  the  oldest  manuscript  of  the  four, 
and  is  badly  decayed,  large  portions 


of  every  Psalm  will  prove  recoverable. 
A  comparison  of  a  portion  of  the  text 
shows  that  it  is  one  of  the  best  manu- 
scripts of  the  Psalms  in  existence. 
Manuscript  III.  contains  the  four  gos- 
pels entire.  It  was  probably  written 
in  the  fifth  or  sixth  century,  and  con- 
tains many  interesting  variant  read- 
ings. It  is  most  important,  however, 
because  it  contains  the  following  extra 
paragraph,  Mark  16:14a: 

And  they  answered,  saying  that  this  age 
of  unrighteousness  and  unbelief  is  under 
the  power  of  Satan,  who  does  not  permit 
the  things  which  are  made  impure  by  the 
(evil)  spirits  to  comprehend  the  truth  of 
God  (and)  his  power.  For  this  reason, 
"Reveal  thy  righteousness  now,"  they  said 
to  Christ,  and  Christ  said  to  them:  "The 
limit  of  the  years  of  the  power  of  Satan 
has  been  fulfilled,  but  other  terrible  things 
are  at  hand,  and  I  was  delivered  unto  death 
on  behalf  of  those  who  sinned  in  order 
that  they  may  return  to  the  truth  and  sin 
no  more,  to  the  end  that  they  may  inherit 
the  spiritual,  indestructible  glory  of  rights 
eousness  (which)  is  in  heaven.*^ 

This  new  paragraph  was  known  to 
St.  Jerome,  and  the  first  few  lines  of 
it  are  cited  in  Latin  translation.  It 
has  long  been  held  that  Mark  xvi., 
8-20,  was  a  later  addition  to  the  Gos- 
pel, thought  to  have  been  borrowed 
from  some  other  unknown  Gospel 
near  the  end  of  the  second  century. 
This  new  manuscript  probably  pre- 
sents the  original  form  of  that  part 
of  the  lost  CJospel,  which,  mutilated, 
was  added  to  Mark.  The  reason  for 
the  omission  is  quite  apparent,  as  the 
new  verse  contains  the  statement  that 
the  destruction  of  sin  in  the  world  is 
near  at  hand.  This  idea  is  found  in 
the  epistles  of  Peter  and  Paul,  but  the 
four  Gospels  do  not  have  it,  and  it  is 
avoided  by  the  later  church  writers. 

Manuscript  IV.  is  only  a  badly  de- 
cayed fragment.  It  once  contained 
Acts  and  the  Epistles,  but  not  Revela- 
tions. It  is  an  older  and  better  manu- 
script than  the  four  Gospels,  and  its 
readings  will  be  of  value  to  the  text 
wherever  they  can  be  deciphered.

NEW  OFFICERS  OF  THE  UNIVERSITY 


At  the  next  meeting  of  the  Board 
of  Regents,  to  be  held  Jan.  15,  two 
new  members  will  take  their  places. 
They  are  Junius  E.  Beal,  of  Ann 
Arbor,  and  Frank  B.  Leland,  of 
Detroit,  both  members  of  the  Class 
of  1882  in  the  University,  succeeding 
Henry  S.  Dean,  of  Ami  Arbor,  and 
Levi  L.  Barbour,  of  Detroit. 

Colonel  Dean,  who  has  served  as 
Regent  of  the  University  since  1894, 
was  appointed  to  succeed  Henry 
Howard.  He  was  long  Chairman 
of  the  committee  on  the  Engin- 
eering Department,  as  well  as  Chair- 
man of  the  Committees  on  the  Mu- 
seum, and  the  Homoeopathic  Depart- 
ment. Regent  Barbour  was  appoint- 
ed Regent  in  1892,  in  place  of  Regent 
Draper,  deceased,  serving  out  the 
term  until  Jan.  i,  1898.  On  the 
resignation  of  Regent  Sutton  in  1902, 
he  was  a^in  appointed  Regent  for 
the  remainder  of  that  term,  which 
has  just  expired.  As  a  Regent  he  has 
been  very  active  and  has  been  chair- 
man of  several  important  committees 
of  the  Board,  including  the  Library 
committee,  the  committees  on  the 
Literary  and  Medical  Departments, 
and  the  Finance  committee. 

Junius  Emery  Beal,  who  succeeds 
Col.  Dean,  was  bom  at  Port  Huron, 
Mich.,  Feb.  23,  i860,  of  New  England 
descent.  His  grandfather,  Junius  L. 
Field,  was  a  Yale  graduate,  as  was 
also  the  Doctor's  father  and  grand- 
father. When  Junius  E.  Beal  was 
eleven  months  old,  his  father  died 
and  he  was  adopted  by  his  uncle.  Rice 
A.  BeaL  He  resided  in  Dexter,  Mich., 
until  he  was  six  years  old,  when  he 
removed  with  his  uncle  to  Ann  Arbor 
where  he  received  his  education  in 
the  high  school,  and  later  the  Uni- 
versity, from  which  he  was  grad- 
uated in  1882.  While  in  the  Uni- 
versity, he  was  freshman  toast- 
master,  managing  editor  of  the 
Chronicle  in  i&^i;  member  of  Beta 


Theta  Pi;  of  the  Alpha  Nu  Literary 
Society;  the  French  Club;  and  the 
Fencing  Club.  He  also  had  part  in 
the  French  play,  Les  PUUdeurs,  given 
at  Commencement  in  1882.  During 
vacations  his  time  was  occupied  in 
his  father's  printing  office,  at  Uie  case 
and  in  the  press  room,  where  he  be- 
came familiar  with  the  mechanical 
part  of  the  printing  business.  Upon 
graduation  he  became  editor  of  the 
Ann  Arbor  Courier,  and  on  the  death 
of  R.  A.  Beal  in  1883,  he  took  up  the 
latter's  business  and  became  a  publish- 
er in  connection  with  his  newspaper 
work.  He  continued  these  activities 
until  he  sold  out  his  business,  twenty 
years  later.  Mr.  Beal  has  been  active 
in  promoting  the  interests  of  Ann 
Arbor,  and  was  member  of  the  Ann 
Arbor  School  Board  for  twenty  years. 
He  was  President  of  the  Michigan 
Press  Association  in  1893.  He  was 
married  on  Thanksgiving  Day,  1889, 
to  Ella  L.  Travis,  and  is  the  father 
of  two  children,  a  boy  and  a  girl. 
He  is  a  member  of  various  Masonic 
orders  and  a  director  of  several 
boards.  He  was  Presidential  Elector 
for  the  Republican  party  in  1888,  and 
was  President  of  the  Michigan  League 
of  Republican  Clubs  in  liqQ.  He  was 
elected  to  the  State  Legislature  in 
1904. 

Frank  B.  Leland,  who  succeeds 
Levi  L.  Barbour,  is  a  native  of  Mich- 
igan. He  was  bom  on  a  farm  near 
Fenton,  and  was  graduated  from  the 
Fenton  High  School  in  1878.  The 
same  fall  he  entered  the  University, 
from  which  he  was  graduated  in  1882 
with  the  degree  of  A.B.  He  entered 
the  Law  Department  immediately  and 
received  the  degree  of  LL.B.  two 
years  later.  He  then  practiced  law 
in  Flint,  Mich.,  until  1890,  when  he 
removed  to  Detroit  and  opened  up  an 
office  where  he  continued  his  practice 
until  a  few  years  ago,  devoting  his 
attention  particularly   to  corporation

law.  In  the  fall  of  1901  he  became  in- 
strumental in  the  organization  of  the 
Detroit  United  Bank,  of  which  he  has 
since  been  vice-pres^ent.  While  in 
the  University  he  was  somewhat 
active  in  athletics  and  was  at  one 
time  member  of  the  University  Ath- 
letic Board.  He  is  president  of  the 
State  Sanitorium  Board,  and  was 
elected  Regent  in  the  spring  of  1907. 
Since  the  death  of  Professor  Israel 
C.  Russell,  he  has  been  the  only  Mich- 
igan member  of  the  American  Alpine 
Club.  He  has  obtained  some  reputa- 
tion as  a  mountain  climber  and  has 
ascended  a  number  of  well-known 
mountains,  including  Mt.  Blanc, 
Switzerland,  Mt.  Orizaba,  Mexico, 
the  highest  peak  in  North  America 
ever  ascended,  Mt.  Sir  Donald,  Brit- 
ish Columbia,  and  Mt  Hood  twice, 
as  well  as  a  number  of  smaller  moun- 
tains in  Europe  and  America. 

On  Feb.  i,  the  resignation  of  Har- 
rison Soule,  Treasurer  of  the  Univer- 
sity, takes  effect  and  George  S.  Baker, 
who  has  been  Assistant  Treasurer,  for 
the  past  three  years,  succeeds  him  in 
that  office.  Twenty-five  years  active 
service  is  not  an  unworthy  record  for 
a  man's  life  woric,  yet  Major  Soule 
was  fifty-one  years  of  age  when  he 
entered  upon  the  duties  which  he  is 
now  laying  down  for  a  well  deserved 
furlough.  Major  Soule  is  descended 
from  Mayflower  ancestry.  He  was 
educated  in  the  public  schools  at  Mar- 
shall and  at  Albion  College,  where  he 
spent  two  years.    At  the  time  of  the 


opening  of  the  Civil  War,  he  left  a 
position  as  accountant  with  the  Mich- 
igan Central  Railroad  Company  to 
raise  and  drill  the  Albion  County 
Rangers,  which  organization  later  be- 
came Company  I  of  the  6th  Michigan 
Infantry  and  still  later  of  the  6th 
Michigan  Heavy  Artillery.  He  en- 
tered the  service  as  Captain  of  his 
Company,  and  at  the  time  this  Regi- 
ment was  mustered  out  in  1865,  he 
was  ranking  officer  with  the  title  of 
Major.  For  fifteen  years  he  was  then 
connected  with  the  Passenger  Depart- 
ment of  the  Michigan  Central  Rail- 
way, and  in  1883  was  appointed  to 
his  present  position  as  Treasurer  of 
the  University,  which  he  now  resigns 
after  a  quarter  century  of  service. 

George  S.  Baker,  who  succeeds 
him,  was  bom  in  Boston,  Mass.,  Oct. 
3,  1874.  He  secured  his  early  educa- 
tion in  the  Boston  Latin  School  and 
the  English  High  School.  Upon  his 
father's  death,  he  came  to  Detroit 
when  he  was  sixteen  years  old,  where 
a  position  was  offered  him  in  the  Citi- 
zen's Saving  Bank.  Here  he  spent 
fifteen  years,  rising  in  that  time  from 
the  position  of  messenger  through  all 
the  various  steps,  to  the  position  of 
auditor,  in  1902,  which  place  he  left 
in  1904  to  become  Assistant  Treasurer 
at  the  University  under  Major  Soule. 
He  was  admitted  to  practice  law  in 
the  State  of  Michigan  in  igo^,  al- 
though he  never  practiced  but  has 
continued  in  business  life.

It  is  a  source  of  pride  no  less  that 
these  institutions  have  an  historical 
origin,  that  they  are  embedded  in  the 
very  foundations  of  our  country  and 
have  increased  as  the  nation  has  ex- 
panded, that  of  them  such  words  were 
written  as  we  find  in  the  Indiana 
State  Constitution  of  1816:  "It  shall 
be  the  duty  of  the  General  Assembly 
as  soon  as  circumstances  will  permit 
to  provide  by  law  for  a  general  sys- 
tem of  education  ascending  in  a  regu- 


lar gradation  from  township  schools 
to  a  State  university,  wherein  tuition 
shall  be  gratis  and  equally  open  to 
all ;"  that,  before  the  Constitution  was 
adopted,  such  a  university  was  char- 
tered. 

This  was  the  University  of  Georgia, 
in  1785.  Modelled  after  a  simple 
English  college,  conferring  only  a 
bachelor's  degree,  and  providing  in- 
struction only  in  literature  and  the 
disciplinary  studies,  the  University  of 
Georgia  has  developed  with  the  State 
and  is  now  an  institution  of  complex 
organization.  Next  in  order  of  foun- 
dation comes  the  University  of  North 
Carolina,  which  this  fall  opens  its  one 
hundred  and  thirteenth  session.  It 
was  the  first  opened  to  students,  ante- 
dating the  University  of  Georgia  by 
about  six  years.  The  third,  the  Uni- 
versity of  Tennessee,  then  Blount  Col- 
lege, is  directly  traceable  to  the  in- 
fluence of  North  Carolina;  for  the 
territory  where  it  was  planted  was 
carved  from  the  State  of  North  Caro- 
lina, and  the  name  of  its  governor, 
William  Blount,  appears  on  the  roll 
of  the  first  trustees  of  the  parent  in- 
stitution of  that  State. 

The  University  of  Tennessee  has  an 
historical  background  of  much  roman- 
tic charm.  At  the  foothills  of  the 
Appalachian  Mountains,  on  the  Wa- 
tauga and  Holston  rivers,  the  pioneers 
of  the  Commonwealth  of  Tennessee, 
venturesome  spirits  from  Virginia  and 
North  Carolina,  made  their  first  per- 
manent settlement  in  1772.  Besides 
being  the  cornerstone  of  a  State  that 
was  to  be,  it  was  the  first  independent 
community  settled  by  men  of  Ameri- 
can birth,  and  was  an  earnest  of  our 
national  work  of  the  last  century,  the 
taming  of  the  American  continent.  In 
1790  this  district  was  accepted  by 
Congress  as  the  "Territory  of  the 
United  States  South  of  the  River 
Ohio,"  and  William  Blount  was  ap- 
pointed governor.  In  1796  the  State 
of  Tennessee  was  admitted  to  the 
Union. .  But  before  its  admission,  in

1794,  Blount  College  was  established 
at  Knoxville;  By  various  steps  and 
mutations,  and  unlike  the  University 
of  North  Carolina,  which  sprang  a 
university  full  fledged,  Blount  has  be- 
come the  University  of  Tennessee. 

The  next  manifestation  of  this 
State  university  movement  was  in  the 
West.  The  Ohio  Company,  which  in 
1787  purchased  five  or  six  millions  of 
acres  of  the  United  States  and  began 
the  colonization  of  territory  beyond 
the  Ohio,  in  its  report  creating  a  col- 
ony, provided  for  public  schools,  re- 
ligious institutions  and  a  university. 
The  latter  was  not  organized  until 
1804,  and  its  first  college  building. 
Central  Building,  the  oldest  north- 
west of  the  Ohio,  was  not  erected 
until  1817.  Two  years  later  Thomas 
Jefferson  realized  his  long-cherished 
plans  for  the  University  of  Virginia, 
and  the  year  following  a  second  West- 
em  institution  was  chartered  in  Indi- 
ana. These  two  were  opened  respect- 
ively in  1825  and  1824.  Indiana  was 
followed  by  Alabama;  and  Alabama 
again,  in  this  curious  progression,  now 
South,  now  West,  by  Michigan. 

Michigan  may  lack  the  halo  of 
poetry  of  the  pioneer  universities,  but 
it  wears  the  crown  of  a  victorious 
present  It  is  the  distinguished  ex- 
ample of  the  free  university  of  na- 
tional attractive  force.  Michigan  was 
admitted  as  a  State  in  1837  and  the 
University  was  chartered  the  same 
year.  Erie  Canal  had  been  opened 
across  New  York  State  and  the  coun- 
try was  well  into  its  early  period  of 
industrial  development.  This  univer- 
sity, at  the  outset,  made  an  advance 
on  its  predecessors;  it  started  with 
three  well-organized  departments, 
those  of  liberal  arts,  law  and  medi- 
cine. When  one  recalls  that  only  sev- 
enteen years  separate  the  seminary 
foundation  of  the  University  of  Indi- 
ana from  this  modem,  more  complex 
organization,  one  realizes  the  rapidity 
of  development,  in  ideas  and  fact,  of 
those  days,  and    the    epoch-marking 


significance  of  the  University  of  Mich- 
igan. 

To  this  advanced  type  of  institution 
succeeded  those  of  the  Southwest, 
Missouri  opening  in  1841,  Mississippi 
opening  in  1848  and  Iowa  opening  in 
1855.  Then  came  renewed  activity 
in  the  ever  progressing  Middle  West 
and  on  the  Pacific  Coast ;  the  Univer- 
sity of  Kansas  admitted  students  in 
1866,  that  of  Illinois  in  1868,  those 
of  Minnesota  and  California  in  1869. 
Maine  organized  in  1865  and  West 
Virginia  in  1868.  All  of  these  uni- 
versities owe  their  well-being,  and  in 
some  cases  their  very  being,  to  wise 
Federal  statesmanship.  Certain  land 
grants  were  given  to  Kansas  on  her 
admission  to  Statehood;  others,  nota- 
bly Illinois  and  Maine,  profited  by  the 
grant  of  1862  for  the  establishment 
of  agricultural  and  industrial  colleges. 
Henceforth,  in  our  great  agricultural 
sections,  the  College  of  Agriculture 
and   Mechanic  Arts  became  an  im- 

¥>rtant  and  distinguishing  feature, 
he  East  went  no  further  in  response 
to  the  enactment  of  1862;  but  west- 
ward the  universities  increased  rap- 
idly, Nebraska  in  1871,  Arkansas  in 
1872,  Oregon  in  1876,  Colorado  in 
1877,  Dakota,  North  and  South,  in 
1884  and  1882,  and  Wyoming  in  1887. 
The  latest  institutions  to  be  opened 
are  those  of  Arizona  in  1891,  Idaho 
in  1892,  New  Mexico  in  1892,  Okla- 
homa after  1892,  and  Montana  in 
1895. 

One  of  the  most  striking  features 
of  this  extensive  system  of  State  uni- 
versities is  their  complex  organiza- 
tion. The  more  so  in  contrast  to  their 
simple  beginnings !  Not  (Xily  does  the 
modem  State  university  provide  all 
the  instruction,  liberal  and  profes- 
sional, that  an  average  youth  might 
require,  but  also  does  it  display  nice 
adjustment  to  its  territory.  Some, 
and  not  necessarily  the  oldest  and 
richest,  are  of  a  comprehensiveness 
extending  from  preparatory  depart- 
ment to  the  graduate  schoof  and  out

in  university  extension  and  correspon- 
dence work! 

For  example,  one  perceives  that  in 
those  of  the  territories  and  less  ad- 
vanced sections  of  the  United  States 
where  popular  education  is  below  the 
standard,  a  preparatory  department  is 
included,  as  in  the  case  of  the  univer- 
sities of  Arizona,  Colorado,  New 
Mexico,  North  Dakota,  Oklahoma  and 
Wyoming.  These  preparatory  schools 
are  imperative  to  make  the  resources 
of  the  instituion  available  for  its 
youth.  The  majority  of  these  same 
institutions,  with  others,  have  normal 
schools,  incorporated  or  affiliated,  to 
provide  better  local  teachers;  Arkan- 
sas, Colorado,  Montana,  New  Mexico, 
North  Dakota,  Ohio,  Utah  and  Wyo- 
ming all  provide  this  normal  depart- 
ment. A  few  go  a  step  further  and 
maintain  a  teachers'  college  or  depart- 
ment of  education,  as  in  the  case  of 
the  universities  of  Minnesota,  Missis- 
sippi and  Missouri.  Seventeen  have 
colleges  of  agriculture  and  the  mech- 
anic arts;  Arizona,  California,  Geor- 
gia, Idaho,  Illinois,  Louisiana,  Maine, 
Minnesota,  Missouri,  Nebraska,  Ne- 
vada, Tennessee,  South  Carolina,  Vir- 
ginia, West  Virginia,  Wisconsin  and 
Wyoming.  These  are  our  great  agri- 
cultural States  and  territories.  It  is 
noticeable  that  Kansas,  certainly  a 
great  agricultural  State,  has  no  such 
college  connected  with  its  university. 
The  School  of  Mines  is  where  one 
might  expect  it — in  Wyoming,  Wash- 
ington, Utah,  Oklahoma,  North  Da- 
kota, Arizona.  Some  of  the  newer 
universities  have  schools  of  commerce 
— Wyoming,  West  Virginia,  South 
and  North  Dakota,  New  Mexico  and 
California,  which,  considering  the 
great  commercial  future  of  the  Pacific 
Coast,  is,  especially  in  the  latter  case, 
a  wise  innovation.  The  majority  have 
graduate  schools,  colleges  of  liberal 
arts,  of  applied  science,  of  law,  of 
medicine.  Six  have  schools  of  phar- 
macy and  five  schools  of  dentistry. 
One,  Illinois,  has    a    department  of 


library  science.  Ten  have  schools  of 
music  and  seven  fine  arts  schools, 
which  speak  well  for  the  future  of 
popular  taste  in  those  States.  Eigh- 
teen have  summer  sessions:  Colorado, 
Georgia,  Illinois,  Indiana,  Iowa,  Kan- 
sas, Montana,  Nebraska,  Ohio,  Wash- 
ington, West  Virginia  and  Wyoming, 
and  Alabama,  Maine,  Michigan,  Min- 
nesota, North  Dakota  and  Utah.  A 
few  conduct  university  extension 
work.  There  are  besides  certain  gov- 
ernment stations  quartered  on  the 
various  colleges;  eight  institutions 
have  agricultural  experiment  stations ; 
Illinois,  Kansas,  Minnesota  and  South 
Dakota  maintain  geological  stations, 
Indiana  and  Montana,  biological  sur- 
veys, while  Nebraska  has  a  United 
States  Weather  Bureau.  All  in  all, 
the  liberality  of  these  various  State 
institutions  is  really  astounding. 
Especially  does  one  marvel  at  the 
completeness  of  the  newer  foundations 
in  the  more  recently  settled  localities, 
in  Nevada,  New  Mexico  and  Idaho. 
That  a  man  or  woman,  at  a  ridicu- 
lously small  expense,  can  obtain  an 
academic  or  a  professional  education 
in  the  new  State  of  Oklahoma,  and 
has  been  able  to  do  so  for  some  years 
past  is  one  of  the  greatest  glories  un- 
der our  flag. 

The  question  of  what  this  small  ex- 
pense really  is  may  form  the  basis  of 
much  interesting  investigation.  In 
some  of  the  States  there  is  no  tuition 
fee  for  residents  of  the  State  in  the 
college  of  liberal  arts.  For  students 
from  without  the  State  there  is  a  small 
charge.  In  addition  there  are  certain 
incidental,  matriculation  and  gradua- 
tion fees  met  by  all.  From  the  vari- 
ous tariffs  of  fuel,  board,  lodging,  to- 
gether with  the  tuition  or  other  fees, 
some  universities  have  made  and  pub- 
lished estimates  of  student  expense 
other  than  personal.  For  example, 
the  University  of  Illinois  puts  this 
average  expense  at  $300,  the  Univer- 
sity of  Maine  at  from  $220  to  $248, 
Kansas  at  $260,    the    University  of

Oklahoma  at  $250,  the  University  of 
California  at  $300,  and  that  of  Mis- 
sissippi at  from  $130  to  $190.  One 
has  but  to  compare  these  estimates, 
or  those  in  Table  II,  compiled  from 
the  latest  Report  of  the  United  States 
Commissioner  of  Education,  with  the 
$150  asked  by  Harvard  for  tuition 
alone,  or  the  $250  charged  by  the 
Massachusetts  Institute  of  Technol- 
ogy for  the  same  item,  to  understand 
what  free  higher  education  means  to 
the  coming  South  and  West.

How  can  these  State  plants  operate 
so  cheaply?    How  can  they  afford  to 


give  so  much  for  so  little?  That  is 
where  the  beauty  and  the  power  of 
their  foundations  become  most  strik- 
ing. Behind  them  is  the  State ;  behind 
them  is  the  enlightened  legislation  of 
a  century — ^the  master  minds  of  the 
United  States  bound  above  all  else  to 
sustain  its  education  as  the  best  de- 
fence of  its  honor.  The  relations  of 
the  State  universities  to  their  respec- 
tive States  and  the  Federal  Govern- 
ment are  no  less  instructive  than  those 
existing  between  the  university  and 
its  students,  and  are  especially  well 
defined  in  their  financial  management 
and  their  government. 

State  universities  are  endowed  and 
maintained  by  State  and  Federal  land 
grants  and  other  l^slative  enact- 
ments. The  maintenance  from  stu- 
dents is  slight.  Private  aid  is  rare. 
The  University  of  Oregon  received 
a  gift  of  $50,000  from  Mr.  Henry 
Villard  for  general  endowment;  the 
endowment  of  the  University  of 
Maine  has  been  increased  by  $100,000 
by  the  bequest  of  a  Maine  man  who 
had  served  for  many  years  as  presi- 
dent of  its  board  of  trustees ;  in  Mis- 
sissippi for  three  years  a  summer  ses- 
sion has  been  supported  through  the 
generosity  of  one  public-spirited  wo- 
man. But  these  are  exceptional  in- 
stances. 

There  are  three  great  divisions  of 
income  coming  from  the  State:  First, 
the  land  grants  which  are  sold  or 
leased  for  the  benefit  of  the  univer- 
sity; second,  the  annual  tax  levy  on 
assessed  property;  third,  special  ap- 
propriations. For  example,  Maine 
received  by  act  of  Congress  of  July 
2,  1862,  210,000  acres  of  public  land, 
from  which  it  realized  an  endowment 
fund  of  $118,300;  the  University  of 
Nebraska  receives  one  mill  upon  a 
dollar  on  the  grand  assessment  roll 
of  the  State. 

The  original  endowment  and  the 
sum  available  for  support  vary  as 
much  in  State  institutions  as  in  col- 
leges of  private  endowment.     When

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[January 


Kansas  was  admitted  to  Statehood 
Congress  reserved  seventy-two  sec- 
tions of  land  for  use  and  support  of 
its  State  university.  Mississippi  re- 
ceived one  township  somewhere  back 
in  1819.  Oklahoma  has  reserved  sec- 
tion 13  in  each  township  in  the  Cher- 
okee Outlet,  in  Kiowa,  Comanche  and 
Wichita  country,  opened  in  1901,  for 
the  use  of  its  university,  normal  school 
and  agricultural  college,  and  this  res- 
ervation leased,  brings  in  about  $9,000 
annually.  In  addition,  the  Territorial 
Government  gave  in  1905  $50,000  an- 
nually for  two  years  for  general  main- 
tenance. Arizona  provides  a  3-5  mill 
tax  on  the  assessment  roll,  which,  in 
1905,  amounted  to  $27,000,  and  a  spe- 
cial grant  of  $20,000  for  1905-06  for 
minor  buildings  and  improvements. 
Montana  has  a  university  income 
fund.  Iowa  University  receives  a  1-5 
mill  tax  on  the  State  assessment  roll 
for  buildings  alone,  and  states  that  the 
liberality  of  recent  assemblies  enables 
it  for  the  first  time  in  its  history  to 
expect  reasonably  adequate  support 
and  equipment.  Nebraska's  income 
for  the  biennium  ending  March  31, 
1907,  was  $862,470,  a  contrasting 
case.  The  University  of  California 
has  the  seminary  fund  and  the  public 
building  fund  granted  the  State  by 
Congress,  the  tide  land  fund  appro- 
priated by  the  State,  the  State  univer- 
sity fund,  a  perpetual  endowment  de- 
rived from  a  State  tax  of  two  cents 
on  each  $100  of  assessed  valuation, 
the  endowment  fund  of  the  Lick  as- 
tronomical department. 

Certain  benefactions  many  have 
alike.  By  the  Congressional  Land 
Grant  of  1862  those  universities  es- 
tablishing a  college  of  agriculture  and 
mechanic  arts  received  substantial 
aid  from  the  Federal  Government; 
and  those  maintaining  an  agricultural 
experiment  station  receive  by  the  pro- 
visions of  the  Hatch  Bill  of  1887  $IS>- 
000  annually,  and  by  the  provisions 
of  the  Morrill  Bill  of  1890  $25,000 
annually  towards  support. 


The  government  of  these  institu- 
tions is  vested  in  the  State ;  and  many 
are  the  variations  of  the  typical  State 
board,  the  board  of  regents,  appointed 
by  the  governor  for  a  term  of  years. 
In  the  first  place,  they  are  not  always 
called  regents;  in.  Tennessee,  Ohio, 
Alabama,  North  Carolina,  Illinois,  In- 
diana, Maine,  Wyoming,  Mississippi 
and  North  Dakota  they  are  known  by 
the  old  and  honorable  term  of  trus- 
tees. 

Missouri  uses  an  exceptional  term, 
"Board  of  Curators."  In  Montana, 
the  State  Board  of  Education  exer- 
cises direct  control  over  the  univer- 
sity, and  in  South  Dakota  a  special 
board  called  regents  of  education  pro- 
vides for  the  management  of  all  State 
educational  institutions. 

In  the  second  place,  their  number 
varies.  Tennessee  has  a  board  of 
thirty;  North  Carolina,  as  we  have 
said,  has  one  of  eighty — ^the  largest! 
— and  probably  a  not  always  welcome 
inheritance  of  ancestral  legislation! 
Ohio  has  a  board  of  nineteen,  Missis- 
sippi one  of  eighteen.  The  newer 
States  and  territories  show  boards  of 
admirable  simplicity,  usually  of  five 
members!  In  addition,  there  are  us- 
ually members  ex-oflicio.  These  are 
oftenest  the  governor  and  the  super- 
intendent of  public  instruction,  as  is 
found  in  the  case  of  the  Universities 
of  Tennessee,  North  Carolina,  Ohio, 
Alabama,  Arizona,  Arkansas,  Mis- 
sissippi, Illinois,  Iowa,  Oklahoma.  The 
fact  that  this  practice  obtains  in  the 
newer  as  well  as  in  the  oldest  insti- 
tutions vouches  for  its  good  results. 
At  the  same  time,  in  so  great  and 
prominent  an  institution  as  that  of 
Michigan,  the  governor  does  not 
serve,  although  the  superintendent 
does. 

In  the  third  place  the  term  of  ser- 
vice varies.  It  may  be  for  life,  in 
the  case  of  one  member  of  the  board 
of  trustees  of  North  Dakota.  But  it 
is  usually  for  a  term  of  from  four  to 
eight  years.

The  appointing  power  is  not  always 
vested  in  the  hands  of  the  governors. 
It  is  so  in  Idaho,  Texas,  North  Da- 
kota, Kansas,  Arizona,  Washington, 
Oregon,  and  several  others.  In  Ne- 
braska, the  regents  are  elected  by  the 
State  electors;  in  Iowa  and  North 
Carolina  by  the  general  assembly;  in 
Michigan  and  (S)lorado  by  popular 
vote;  in  Indiana,  a  part  by  the  State 
Board  of  Education  and  a  part — note- 
worthy advance! — ^by  the  alumni  of 
the  university.  In  Mississippi,  the 
board  is  self-perpetuating.  These 
boards  of  regents  are  sometimes  sup- 
plemented by  advisory  bodies. 

It  is  interesting  to  note  in  connec- 
tion with  the  government  of  State  un- 
iversities that  women  are  not  alto- 
gether excluded  from  power.  Women 
are  found  upon  these  boards  and  their 
presence  in  so  dignified  a  capacity  and 
their  recognition  there  should  be  es- 
pecially gratifying  to  those  advocat- 
ing civic  work  for  women.  They  are, 
of  course,  the  great  exception  at  pres- 
ent. They  are  found  on  the  Board 
of  R^;ents  of  the  universities  of  Illi- 
nois and  California.  But  these  in- 
stances, though  few,  seem  most  logi- 
cal, as  the  majority  of  State  univer- 
sities are  co-educational  and  are  at- 
tended by  large  numbers  of  women. 
Like  the  two  instances  of  the  admis- 
sion of  the  alumni  to  some  voice  in 
governing  the  affairs  of  their  alma 
mater,  in  Indiana  and  North  Caro- 
lina, they  are  sign  posts  of  the  pro- 
g^ress  of  the  day. 

A  study  of  the  universities  in  detail, 
their  curricula,  their  student  life  and 
their  fine  equipment  would  be  distinct- 
ly instructive.  Suffice  it  to  say  that 
tfiey  are  well  to  the  fore.    They  are 


characterized  by  a  great  alertness,  and 
they  are  all  growing  rapidly.  Indeed 
it  is  the  strength  and  rise  of  these 
schools  that  is  responsible  for  the  fail- 
ure of  Harvard  and  Yale  to  show  in- 
creased attendance  during  the  past 
few  years.  And  the  State  university 
in  its  spirit  seems  to  be  closely  re- 
lated to  its  environing  life.  This  ad- 
justment, this  responsiveness,  is  man- 
ifested in  the  courses  that  are  offered. 
The  pulse  of  the  section  is  felt  in  a 
way  undesirable  in  institutions  other 
than  those  belonging  to  the  State.  Ex- 
pression is  g^ven  to  a  kind  of  patriot- 
ism which  might  be  out  of  place  in 
other  colleges.  This  is  especially  no- 
ticeable in  the  study  of  history  and 
political  science.  For  example,  Mis- 
souri offers  both  undergraduate  and 
seminary  work  in  "History  of  Mis- 
souri''; so  does  Iowa.  Illinois  offers 
a  course  in  the  "Government  and  In- 
stitutions of  Illinois" ;  Michigan  in  the 
"Government  of  Michigan."  Wash- 
ington gives  us  "Northwestern  His- 
tory and  the  Development  of  the  Pa- 
cific"; Texas,  "Southwestern  History 
and  Spanish  Colonization,  with  the 
Financial  History  of  Texas  and  the 
study  of  Texas  Cities  and  Towns." 
In  literature,  North  Dakota  gives 
"The  Realists,  Writers  of  the  South 
and  West" ;  Texas,  the  "Literature  of 
the  South."  In  education.  North  Car- 
olina gives  a  course  on  the  problems 
of  education  in  the  Southern  States. 
In  agronomy,  Missouri  teaches  of 
"Farm  Crops  in  Missouri."  In  geol- 
ogy, Oklahoma  teaches  of  "Good 
Roads  in  Oklahoma."  And  these  are 
but  scattered  instances.

OBITUARIES 


JOHN  BOLIVAR  CASSODY 

John  Bolivar  Cassoday,  Chief  Justice  of 
the  Supreme  Court  of  Wisconsin,  was  born 
in  Herkimer  County,  New  York,  July  i, 
1830.  He  was  educated  in  Pennsylvania 
and  was  graduated  from  Alfred  Academy, 
later  spending  the  year  1855-57  at  the 
University  of  Michigan.  He  then  settled^ 
in  Janesville,  Wis.,  where  he  practiced  law' 
until  1880,  removing  then  to  Madison  to 
take  up  his  duties  on  the  Supreme  Court 
bench.  During  his  residence  in  Janesville 
he  served  two  terms  in  the  Assembly,  be- 
ing elected  speaker  in  1877,  where  he  made 
a  reputation  as  an  expert  parliamentarian. 
He  became  Chief  Justice  of  the  Supreme 
Court  in  1895,  which  position  he  has  since 
held.  He  held  the  degree  of  LL.D.  from 
Beloit  College,  and  also  from  the  Univer- 
sity of  Wisconsin.  He  was  also  a  lecturer  in 
the  Law  College  of  the  University  of 
Wisconsin.  He  died  at  Madison,  Wis., 
Dec.  30,  1907,  following  an  operation  made 
two  weeks  previous  for  an  attack  of  gall 
stones.  

ASAPH  HALL 

Asaph  Hall  was  bom  in  Goshen,  Conn., 
Oct  15,  1829,  springing  from  a  long  line  of 
New  England  ancestry.  His  early  educa- 
tion was  obtained  in  the  country  schools 
and  at  college  at  McGrawville,  N.  Y.  Af- 
ter his  gn'aduation  he  spent  the  year  1856- 
1857  in  studying  astronomy  at  the  Univer- 
sity of  Michigan  under  Dr.  Brunnow,  who 
was  at  that  time  Director  of  the  Observa- 
tory.   The  following  year  his  career  as  an 


astronomer  began  at  Harvard  under  William 
Bond.  In  1862  he  entered  the  Naval  Ob- 
servatory as  Assistant  Astronomer,  and  in 
1863  he  was  appointed  Professor  of  Math- 
ematics in  the  United  States  Navy,  a  po- 
sition which  he  retained  until  retired  under 
the  regulations  in  1891,  upon  the  comple- 
tion of  his  sixty-second  year.  The  first 
four  years  spent  at  the  Naval  Observatory 
were  as  Assistant  Observer  with  the  g]4 
inch  equatorial,  then  considered  a  very  large 
instrument.  In  1867  he  was  in  charge  of 
the  meridian  circle.  From  1868  to  1875  he 
was  in  charge  of  the  gVj  inch  equatorial, 
and  from  1875  to  189 1  he  was  in  charge  of 
the  26  inch  equatorial,  at  the  time  of  its 
erection  the  largest  refracting  telescope  in 
the  world,  making,  with  these  instruments, 
many  original  discoveries.  During  these 
years  he  was  also  a  leader  in  many  expe- 
ditions to  distant  parts  of  the  world  con- 
ducting observations  of  special  interest.  He 
retired  from  the  Naval  Observatory  in 
1862,  although  he  continued  his  work  for 
some  years  in  order  to  complete  those  mat- 
ters upon  which  he  was  particularly  en- 
gaged. For  some  years  later  he  was  in 
charge  of  the  Observatory  at  Madison, 
Wis.,  and  in  1896  became  a  member  of  the 
Faculty  of  Harvard  University  with  the 
title  of  Professor  of  Mathematics,  which 
position  he  retained  until  1901,  Professor 
Hall  was  married  twice,  the  first  time  to 
Angeline  Stickney,  while  he  was  still  a  col- 
lege student,  of  which  marriage  four  sons 
survive,  and  in  October,  1901,  to  Mary  B. 
Gothier,  who  survives  him.  He  died  Nov. 
22  at  Annapolis,  Md.

What  Univenity  of  Midiigaa   CnhukM  Say  About 

THE  THURSTON 
Teachers'  Agency 

Join  the  Af«Bcy  that  Pcra*Milly  Rcconnendt 

"  During  my  lost  vear  mt  the  University  of  Michi- 
gmn  I  joined  several  prominent  teachers'  agencies, 
and  wrote  many  applications  for  positions  as 
notices  of  vacancies  came.  I  finally  secnred  a 
position,  bnt  not  by  reason  of  assistance  from  any 
of  them.  Being  still  anxious  for  advancement,  but 
now  somewhat  skeptical  as  to  the  helpfulness  of 
asTcncies,  I  was  induced  by  a  friend  to  try  Miss 
l%ttrston*s.  In  a  short  time  I  was  elected  to  a  posi- 
tion at  a  larger  salary  than  I  had  ever  before  drawn 
in  teaching  profession. 

"  If  you  want  a  position,  join  Miss  Thurston's 
Agency;  if  you  enjoy  an  extended  correspondence, 
join  the  others."       Commissionbk.  op  Schools, 
Hillsdale,  Michigan 

"  I  hold  my  present  position  as  language  teacher 
in  the  high  school  of  Bast  Chicago,  Ind.,  as  the  result 
of  an  application  through  the  Thurston  Agency." 

High  School.  Joliet,  HI.—" I  received  myposition 
through  the  Agency  of  Miss  Anna  M.  Thurston. 
She  seems  to  me  to  keep  in  touch  with  the  best 
schools  in  this  part  of  the  country,  and  shows  per- 
sonal interest  in  those  for  whom  she  is  working." 

Do  not  wait  until  tli«  best  positions  arc  filled.

RIFLES  FOR  ALL  KINDS  OF  HUNTING. 

Winchester  Repeating  Rifles  shoot  as  accurately  and  work  as  surely  in  the 
arctic  and  tropical  regions  as  they  do  in  the  temperate  zone.  The  severest 
climatic  conditions  do  not  impair  their  reliability.  For  this  reason,  well- 
posted  sportsmen,  virhen  leaving  the  beaten  trails  in  search  of  rare 
game,  always  carry  a  Winchester  in  preference  to  any  other  rifle. 
Winchester  Rifles  and  Winchester  Cartridges  are  made  one  for  the  other.

then,  a  lost  button  restored,  or  a 
soft  shirt  front,  if  you  prefer  it, 
are  little  things,  but  they  help  to

TheUfeof 
Abraham  Lincoln 

BY  IDA  M.  TARBELL 
Four  Splendid  Volumes  Lavishly  Illustrated 

Miss  Tarbell's  Life  of  Lmcoln  is  not  merely  a 
chronicle  of  the  statesman,  the  lawyer  and  the 
President,  but  the  story  of  Lincoln  the  man.    It 

tells  the  wonderfully  fascinating  story  of  the 
struggles,  triumphs  and  tragic  death  of  our  first 
and  greatest  countryman. 

Here  is  the  biography  of  a  man  whose  life-story 
reads  stranger  than  any  romance,  is  true,  is  noble, 
and  is  a  proud  heritage  to  every  American  citizen. 

It  appeals  to  every  American  because  it  tells  the 
story  as  it  has  never  before  been  told,  of  the  rise 
of  the  "Rail-splitter"  to  the  Presidency  at  that 
time  in  our  history  when  our  life  as  a  nation  hung 
on  his  statesmanship. 

It  Interests  Every  Member  of  the  Family 

Your  boy  will   follow  Lincoln's  early  life  with

has  written  sparkling,  witty,  amusing,  riveting  novels — antidotes  for  melancholy.  The  stories 
race  merrily  along,  nothing  didactic  or  dull ;  as  original  as  Boccaccio,  as  mirthful  as  Gil 
Bias,  as  fascinating  as  the  Oriental  Tales,  and  as  captivating  as  the  Diaries  of  the  French 
Maids.  These  stories  are  uncxpurgated  and  translated  with  fidelity  into  English.  The  best 
authorities  have  adjudged  them  classics,  ranking  with  .Smollett,  Sterne,  "The  Arabian 
Nights.*'  and  Balzac.

JUST  ISSUED 


the;  AMERICAN 

govcrnne:nt 


We  have  just  published  a  work  entitled  **The  American  Government,*'  edited  by  H.  C. 
Gauss,  Esq.  Mr.  Gauss  is  a  trained  journalist  at  present  occupying  the  responsible  position 
of  Private  Secretary  to  Attorney  General  Bonaparte. 

This  book  gives  not  only  a  list  of  all  offices  of  sufficient  importance  to  be  filled  by 
Presidential  appointmettt  and  subject  to  confirmation  by  the  Senate,  but  a  complete  statement 
of  the  powers  and  duties  appertaining  to  each  office  and  salary  attached  thereto.  How  many 
Americans  are  there  who  could  tell  precisely  what  the  powers  and  responsibilities  of  the 
United  States  District  Attorney  or  the  Collector  of  the  Port  are,  and  the  extent  of  power 
vested  in  the  hands  of  Bank  Bxatniners  and  the  Comptroller  of  the  Currency,  and  to  what 
work  of  reference  could  they  turn  for  full  information  upon  these  subjects  ? 

What  American  traveling  abroad  or  contemplating  going  abroad  but  would  gladly 
know  the  duties  and  powers  of  the  American  Ambassador  and  Minister,  the  Consul  General 
and  the  American  Consul ;  what  their  duty  is  not  only  to  the  Government  they  represent, 
but  to  American  citizens  who  visit  the  countries  to  which  they  are  accredited  as  well.  Not 
long  since  a  famous  New  Yorker  lost  a  suit  in  the  United  States  Circuit  Court  involving  more 
than  $100,000.  He  desired  to  appeal  it  to  the  Supreme  Court  of  the  United  States,  but  was 
astounded  at  being  told  by  his  lawyers  that  they  were  not  sure  that  he  could  appeal  it,  and  to 
his  astonishment  the  Supreme  Court  refused  to  hear  the  case. 

Now  this  book  tells  just  what  cas^  can  be  heard  in  the  United  States  Courts  and  the 
jurisdiction  of  each  court.  Americans  doing  business  abroad  will  be  glad  to  know  under 
what  circumstances  the  American  Consul  not  only  can,  but  must,  call  upon  the  Commander 
of  the  American  Squadron  cruising  in  that  particular  part  af  the  world's  waters  to  come  to  the 
assistance  of  American  citizens  whose  lives  or  property  are  in  jeopardy. 

Pew  people  know  that  the  Postmaster  General,  unlike  the  other  Cabinet  officrs,  can  only 
be  removed  by  and  with  the  consent  of  the  Senate,  and  that  his  term  continues  a  month  longer 
than  that  of  the  President  who  appoints  him;  that  the  Comptroller  of  the  Currency-  is  appointed 
for  five  years;  that  members  of  Congress  have  the  right  by  law  to  nominate  cadets  to  the  Naval 
Academy,  but  have  no  such  right  with  reference  to  the  Military  Academy,  to  which  their 
nominations  have  only  the  effect  of  a  recommendation  to  the  President.  These  are  only  a 
few  of  the  vast  number  of  facts  in  this  book  which  are  known  to  but  few  average  citizens. 

The  book  makes  a  volume  of  a  thousand  qiiarto  pages,  bound  in  half  morocco,  and  the 
price  is  $5.00.  It  is  purely  a  book  of  reference  for  American  citizens  and  for  foreigners  who 
desire  authentic  information  as  to  the  organization  of  the  United  States  Government.

nearly  Thrbb  Thousand  Graduates.    Twenty  States  and  a 

9ALP  dozen  foreign  COUNTRIES  ARE  REPRESENTED  IN  ITS  ENROLL-

In  September,  1907,  this  well  established  school  began  work 
in  a  new  building  costing  a  quarter  of  a  million  dollars. 

Its  laboratory  facilities  for  all  kinds  of  science  work  are  un- 
surpassed by  any  public  school  in  America.  Its  equipment  for  Com- 
mercial WoRX  is  equal  to  the  best,  and  its  provision  for  Physical 
Culture  is  superior  to  that  of  most  other  public  schools  in  the  country. 

The  old  time  thoroughness  in  the  Classics  and  other  Culture 
Studies  is  maintained. 

Rates  of  Tuition  are  lower  than  those  of  any  private  school  of 
equal  rank  in  America.

Teachers  Wanted  ^"mtschooh 


MB  are  already  beginning  to  receive  inquiries  for  teachers  for  next  year. 
Last  year  we  had  over  four  times  as  many  calls  as  we  had  candidates 
for  good  positions  as  teachers  of  Shorthand.  These  positions  offered 
salaries  ranging  all  the  way  from  $75.00  to  $125.00  or  more  per  month.  The 
present  outlook  is  that  the  demand  will  be  still  greater  this  year. 

We  have  also  to  fill  several  places  in  large  Normal  Schools  where  University 
men  are  wanted  to  give  a  Teachers'  Training  Course  in  Shorthand.    These  places 
are  especially  desirable.    Our  Shorthand  Training  Course  fits  one  to  do  such  work. 
We  have  a 


Special  Proposition  to  Senior  Lits 

who  expect  to  teach  as  well  as  for  those  who  have  graduated  and  are  already 
tearhing.

OUT  OP  THB  _.  %    £ 

coNFfiRBNCB  ^^  unpoitance,  betore 
the  University  these 
last  few  years  has  been  the  very 
puzzling  matter  of  keeping  University 
ideals  and  athletics  within  hailing  dis- 
tance. Now  that  the  Board  in  Con- 
trol of  Athletics  has,  as  suggested  by 
its  chairman,  taken  "a  leap  in  the 
dark,"  and  we  are  definitely  out  of 
the  Conference  and  necessarily  de- 
barred from  playing  our  logical  rivals 
•in  the  West,  we  trust  that  one  more 
word  may  not  be  amiss,  ere  we  drop 
the  question  and  settle  down  to  await 
events.  It  may  be  several  years  be- 
fore we  know  the  real  result  of  our 
action.  C  Certain  benefits  and  certain 
equally  apparent  disadvantages  have 
accrued  already.  We  have  the  privi- 
lege of  permitting  several  athletes  to 
play  who  would  have  been  unable  to 
participate  under  Conference  restric- 
tions, for  one  more  year.  We  can  also 
maintain  a  training  table,  and  play . 
seven  instead  of  five  games  during 
the  season.  But,  on  the  other  side, 
we  are  forced  to  look  for  games  in 
the  East  and  the  South — in  fact  any- 
where but  where  we  should  be  seek- 
ing them.  For  the  football  schedule 
this  is  not  such  a  hardship;  we  have 
already  scheduled  games  with  Vander- 
bilt,  Cttiio  State,  and  Pennsylvania,  of 
which  Vanderbilt  and  Pennsylvania 
will  be  held  in  Ann  Arbor.  In  base- 
ball and  trade  athletics  it  will  be  some- 


what different,  although  Michigan 
will  of  course  be  entered  in  the  East- 
ern Intercollegiate  and  Pennsylvania 
Relay  Meets.  We  append  a  passage 
from  a  suggestive  letter  recently  re- 
ceived from  James  A.  LeRoy,  at  pres- 
ent in  New  Mexico,  which  gives  the 
view  of  one  alumnus  in  regard  to  the 
"situation." 

C  ''I  am  against  the  action  taken  re 
keeping  out  of  the  Conference,  if  for 
no  other  reason,  because, of  the  spirit 
and  motives  that  led  to  this  action. 
I  have  always  believed  our  proper  ath- 
letic rivals  are  in  our  own  section  of 
the  country.  On  the  other  hand,  I 
have  for  some  time  believed  that  the 
Conference — as  a  rule-maker  at  least 
— should  be  abolished.  •  •  .  The 
ideal  .  .  .  will  never  be  reached  by 
the  multiplication  by  an  intercollegiate 
legislative  body  of  rules,  some  of  3iem 
senseless,  the  effect  of  which  is  to  set 
each  university  to  watching  the  other, 
while  also  emphasizing  obedience  to 
the  letter  not  the  spirit  of  the  rules. 
Our  "amateur  rule"  has  become  a 
fetich,  often  applied  without  rhyme 
or  reason.  I  am  one  who  would  abol- 
ish it;  a  summer  baseball  player  may 
be  just  as  bona  fide  amateur,  from  the 
proper  college-athlete  standpoint,  as 
the  team-candidate  who  has,  e.  g., 
used  his  athletic  knowledge  as  a  news- 
paper reporter.  Such  rules  run  us 
into  nonsensical  situations.  And,  I 
emphasize,  they  breed  suspicion,  dis- 
trust, and  a  generally  unhealthy  at-

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[February 


mosphere.  Wipe  out  all  rule-making 
by  the  Conference  as  to  the  qualifica- 
tions of  athletes,  and  put  it  on  the 
conscience  (and  alertness)  of  each 
university  board  of  control  to  send  out 
only  bona  fide  teams,  i.  e.,  composed 
of  players  who  are  in  college  primar- 
ily to  pursue  studies,  whether  or  not 
they've  ever  made  money,  directly  or 
indirectly,  out  of  athletics.  (The  Eng- 
lish amateur  rule  has  no  proper  place 
in  America,  where  social  conditions 
are  different.)  Then,  if  you  find  one 
of  your  exponents  is  not  living  up  to 
this  standard,  just  cease  playing  with 
that  college,  just  as  a  gentleman  ceases 
to  play  any  game  with  one  who  cheats. 
I  don't  imply  that  agreements  between 
the  universities  regarding  number  of 
games,  professional  coaching,  training 
tables,  or  other  similar  means  of  bring- 
ing intercollegiate  athletics  into  proper 
subordination  to  academic  standards, 
are  not  wise;  and  for  such  purposes, 
the  present  Conference  would  well 
serve.  But  I  don't  believe  in  any  rule 
against  freshmen  playing,  nor  limit- 
ing an  individual's  intercollegiate  ath- 
letic activity  to  four  years,  nor  any- 
thing of  that  sort;  those  tilings,  like 
the  question  of  bona  fide  membership 
of  teams — the  only  proper  test  of  ama- 
teurship  for  American  colleges — are 
the  business  of  the  individual  colleges, 
not  of  a  general  **pow-wow."  Ex- 
perience, it  seems  to  me,  has  demon- 
strated the  unwisdom  of  Conference 
legislation  to  "purify  athletics." 


In  spite  of  the  fact 

THE  PARTING    that     Michigan     has 

OP  THB  WAY     definitely    withdrawn 

from  the  Conference, 

there  are  many  in  Ann  Arbor  who 

look  backward  with  real  regret.    The 

question  was  certainly  a  very  difficult 

and  delicate  one  to  decide,  but  in  much 

of  the  discussion    for    the    last    six 

months  the  real  point  at  issue  seems 

to  Thk  Alumnus  to  have  been  often 

obscured.   C  We  believe  in  athletics, 


but  we  believe  in  the  mission  of  the 
University  first,  and  that  is  certainly 
not  athletic,  but  educational.  With  that 
as  a  premise,  athletics  should  certainly 
be  subsidiary  to  educational  interests 
and  it  is  there  that  the  rub  has  come. 
Athletics  have  assumed  a  command- 
ing place  of  interest  in  the  whole  Uni- 
versity world,  and  universities  have 
come  to  be  regarded  in  certain  quar- 
ters, by  their  athletic  rather  than  by 
their  academic  standing.  The  Con- 
ference has  sought  to  bring  these  back 
into  a  true  relation,  an  object  of  which 
it  has  never  lost  sight  Its  posi- 
tion has  been  a  bit  Quixotic,  perhaps 
occasionally,  but  on  the  contrary  we 
fear  that  Michigan  men  have  looked 
at  the  question  often  from  an  athletic, 
a  utilitarian,  if  you  will,  and  not  an 
ethical  standpoint.  So  we  believe  that 
it  would  have  been  better  had  we  re- 
frained from  taking  this  leap  into  the 
void.  In  common  with  the  writer  of 
the  letter  above,  we  are  far  from  be- 
ing in  entire  sympathy  with  all  the 
past  actions  of  the  Conference.  In 
fact,  we  are  rather  inclined  to  believe 
that  the  Conference  has  been  per- 
haps, too  active  in  making  rules 
which  have  had  to  be,  unfortunately, 
all  too  specific  in  their  application,  and 
we  look  forward  to  the  time  when  the 
"gentleman's  agreement"  among  all 
the  universities  will  be  the  logical 
method  of  settling  vexed  problems. 
C  But  the  Western  Conference  at 
present  is  fighting  a  battle  which  must 
be  won  before  the  "gentlemen's  agree- 
ment" is  possible.  It  is  fighting  to 
bring  athletics  into  a  proper  relation- 
ship to  academic  pursuits;  when 
that  is  in  sight  the  other  questions  will 
be  well  on  toward  solution.  Michi- 
gan's place  is  in  the  front  where  she 
has  heretofore  taken  a  leading  stand 
for  reform.  Now  she  will  have  to 
fight  single-handed  and  we  fear  less 
effectively.  We  believe  the  Michigan 
might  have  accomplished  more  within 
ratiher  than  without  the  pale.  So  we 
cannot  help  but    feel    regret  at  our

sq>aration  from  the  West,  and  we 
know  that  we  are  not  lonely  in  our 
sentiments.  The  Board  in  Control,  in 
fact,  was  far  from  unanimous  in  tak- 
ing this  step.  We  need  the  help  of 
our  rivals  in  the  West  and  we  believe 
that  they  ar6  equally  in  need  of  ours. 
The  mess  of  pottage  has  proved  too 
attractive  and  we  have  sold  our  birth- 
right, the  leading  position,  which  we 
might  have  held  in  the  fight  for  clean 
athletics  among  the  universities  of  the 
West 


On  Friday,  Jan.  17, 
MICHIGAN  WINS  occurred  the  second 
DOUBLBOBBATB  series  of  intercollegi- 
ate (kbates  with  Chi- 
cago and  Northwestern  under  the 
rules  of  the  new  triangular  Central 
Debating  League.  As  was  the  case 
last  year  in  the  first  trial  of  the  new 
system,  both  Michigan  teams  earned 
unanimous  decisions  against  their  op- 
ponents and  thus  secured  the  undis- 
puted title  of  champion  of  the  league. 
The  question  under  discussion  was, 
"Resolved,  that  all  corporations  en- 
gaged in  interstate  commerce  should 
be  required  to  take  out  a  federal  char- 
ter on  such  terms  as  Congress  may  by 
law  prescribe;  granted,  the  constitu- 
tionality of  such  a  measure."  The  af- 
firmative team,  which  debated  North- 
western in  University  Hall,  was  com- 
posed of  Eari  G.  Fuller,  '08,  Henry 
G.  Kneller,  'lol,  and  John  E.  Winner, 
*o8/.  The  negative  team,  which  met 
Chicago  at  the  same  time  in  Mandel 
Hall  on  the  Chicago  campus,  was  com- 
posed of  George  Eves,  '08,  Samuel  J. 
Wettrick,  '08/,  and  Mallory  L.  Bur- 
roughs, '08/.  The  third  debate  of  the 
triangular  series,  that  between  Chi- 
cago and  Northwestern,  was  won  the 
same  night  by  Chicago,  thus  giving 
her  second  place  in  the  series.  C  The 
line  of  argument  taken  by  the  teams 
in  all  of  these  debates  was  substan- 
tially the  same.  The  affirmative  held 
ttiat  under  our  present  system  of  state 


incorporation,  a  single  state  with  lax 
laws  such  as  those  of  New  Jersey  may 
defeat  all  the  wise  laws  of  the  other 
forty-five,  and  that  no  practical  re- 
form of  corporation  evils  is  possible 
till  uniformity  is  secured  by  a  national 
charter.  On  the  other  hand  the  af- 
firmative argued  that  the  states  are 
now  approadiing  practical  uniformity, 
being  forced  thereto  by  public  senti- 
ment ;  that  national  laws,  such  as  the 
Hepburn  Bill,  which  do  not  go  the 
length  of  national  incorporation,  are 
quite  as  effective;  and  Michigan's 
negative  especially  rested  its  entire 
case  on  the  argument  that  a  national 
license  law  for  interstate  corporations 
already  chartered  by  the  states  would 
be  the  most  satisfactory  cure  for  cor- 
poration evils.  C  The  actual  argu- 
ments employed,  however,  are  not  of 
sole  importance.  In  a  contest  of  this 
kind,  in  which  there  is  plenty 
of  ground  for  sincere  opinion  on  both 
sides,  the  deciding  factor  is  not  alone 
the  validity  and  cogency  of  the  argu- 
ments presented,  but  the  effectiveness 
with  which  they  are  brought  out  and 
forced  upon  the  minds  and  convictions 
of  the  audience.  In  both  of  these  de- 
bates this  year  the  Michigan  teams 
won  largely  on  form,  on  their  ability 
to  handle  themselves  well  and  to  meet 
the  issues  of  their  opponents.  In  plat- 
form appearance,  clearness  and  torce 
of  utterance,  they  excelled;  and  they 
were  strong  in  rebuttal  work  which 
depends  on  adaptability  and  rapid 
thinking.  At  no  time  did  they  seem 
to  lack  an  answer  to  the  points  of 
their  opponents  and  their  returns  were 
quick  and  effective.  C  This  fact  ex- 
plains why  it  is  possible  for  two  teams 
trained  by  the  same  professor  to  win 
at  the  same  time  on  opposite  sides  of 
the  same  question.  Michigan  has  al- 
ways had  a  proud  record  in  debate. 
She  has  won  for  example  five  out  of 
the  eight  contests  held  with  North- 
western and  eight  of  eleven  with  Chi- 
cago. Of  the  last  nine  dd>ates  she 
has  tost  but  one.    But  this  triangular

system,  whereby  each  university  puts 
in  the  field  two  teams  discussing  both 
sides  of  a  question,  is  the  real  test 
of  strength,  and  the  fact  that  Michi- 
gan has  unanimously  won  all  the  con- 
tests so  far  held  under  this  system 
speaks  volumes.  Her  success  may  be 
traced  alike  to  the  fact  that  she  has 
been  fortunate  in  the  calibre  of  the 
raw  material  she  has  had  to  work 
with,  and  to  such  training  as  is  given 
by  Professor  Trueblood. 


Things  dramatic  at 
AN  ENCOURAG.  Michigan  received 
ING  WORD  kindly  treatment  at 
the  hands  of  James 
O'Donnell  Bennett,  the  dramatic  critic 
of  the  Chicago  Record-Herald,  in  the 
issue  of  Dec.  27,  in  the  following  wise : 
([  "Good  tidings  come  from  the  Uni- 
versity of  Michigan  relative  to  the 
movement  in  support  of  the  standard 
drama  which  has  been  taking  shape 
at  that  great  school  for  nearly  a  year 
past  This  movement  had  its  origin 
in  a  reaction,  as  so  many  good  things 
do.  Indeed,  the  reaction  against  the 
trivial  and  often  indecorous  campus 
burlesques  in  which  the  men  of  Mich- 
igan had  participated  became  so  pro- 
nounced as  to  amount  to  a  sense  of 
disgust.  More  than  one  American 
university  has  allowed  such  exhibi- 
tions—originally harmless  and  cheer- 
ful enough — ^to  run  into  vulgar  tra- 
vesty and  impudent  allusion.  The 
good-natured  satirical  fling  had  de- 
generated into  brutal  insolence  and 
Sie  humor  of  the  quips  was  not  su- 
perior to  that  found  in  the  base  musi- 
cal comedy  of  the  commercial  stage. 
The  University  of  Chicago  had  an  un- 
pleasant evening  with  a  specimen  of 
that  kind  of  thing  last  year,  and  the 
University  of  Wisconsin  can  also  look 
back  upon  exhibitions  that  men  who 
are  the  beneficiaries  of  liberal  legisla- 
tive endowments  had  no  cause  to  be 
proud  of  as  contributions  to  either 
culture  or  sense.    C  The  determina- 


tion to  strike  out  along  soberer  lines 
at  the  University  of  Michigan  first 
todc  shape  among  members  of  the 
Faculty  and  slowly  spread  to  the  stu- 
dent body.  Months  of  talking  and 
planning  followed,  and  now  results 
impend.  The  announcements  of  stu- 
dent dramatic  performances  for  this 
winter  at  Ann  Arbor  already  include 
four  masterpieces,  and  the  perform- 
ance of  each  one  will  be  preceded  by 
a  series  of  lectures  on  the  play  to  be 
presented.  These  plays  are:  Mo- 
Here's  *Le  Bourgeois  Gentilhomme^ 
(1670),  to  be  presented  by  the  Cerde 
Francais  of  the  University;  George 
Farquhar's  'The  Recruiting  Officer' 
(1705),  to  be  presented  by  the  Com- 
edy Club  of  the  University ;  Lessing's 
'Minna  von  Bamhehn*  (1767),  to  be 
presented  by  the  Deutscher  Verein; 
Sheridan's  'The  School  for  Scandal' 
(1777),  to  be  presented  by  a  student 
cast  organized  by  Mrs.  Hofmann. 
C  Thus  in  one  winter  are  representa- 
tive comedies  in  the  classic  dramatic 
literature  of  France,  Germany  and 
England  to  be  enacted.  A  valuable 
feature  of  the  revivals,  a  feature  more 
valuable  intrinsically  than  the  per- 
formances themselves,  is  the  course  of 
supplementary  lectures.  In  connection 
with  'Minna  von  Bamhelm,'  for  ex- 
ample, there  will  be  at  least  three  lec- 
tures bearing  directly  on  the  revival; 
one  on  Lessing,  one  on  the  play,  and 
one  on  the  period  of  the  play  and  its 
significance  in  relation  to  the  awaken- 
ing of  German  unity  during  the  'Seven 
Years'  War.'  This  is  the  aspect  of 
the  comedy  that  gives  it  its  large  im- 
portance as  a  historical  and  social 
document.  Moliere,  Farquhar  and 
Sheridan  will  be  treated  of  in  the 
same  comprehensive  yet  special  man- 
ner. Therefore,  not  only  will  the  play 
of  each  writer  take  on  a  peculiar  in- 
terest when  the  evening  of  the  repre- 
sentation comes,  but  the  lectures  will 
be  given  an  intimate  and  picturesque 
^plication  by  means  of  the  pla3rs. 
The  casts  in  every  instance  are  00m-

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[February 


piece  of  bookmaking.  The  original 
edition,  bound  in  heavy  brown  paper, 
contained  the  names  of  the  first  actors, 
together  with  the  cast  of  the  play  as 
given  in  Ann  Arbor,  and  was  illus- 
trated with  several  special  plates 
which  were  prepared  for  this  bode. 
The  edition  sold  for  thirty-five  cents 
and  was  exhausted  before  the  play 
was  given.  Q  This  experience  of  the 
French  dub  suggests  the  practicability 
of  publishing  a  souvenir  edition  of 
every  play  revived  and  presented  by 
an  organization  in  the  University, 
whether  in  English  or  a  foreign  lan- 
guage. Should  this  ever  be  under- 
taken it  would  be  very  desirable  to 
have  some  definite  style  established, 
and  bring  out  each  book  in  conform- 
ity. These  might  be  illustrated,  not 
only  with  photogravure  plates,  as  in 
Le  Bourgeois  Gentilhomme,  but  possi- 
bly by  a  few  scenes  from  the  play  as 
given  by  the  cast  in  Ann  Arbor.  At 
a  small  increase  in  cost  the  bode  might 
also  be  plainly  bound  in  board. 
C  Once  such  a  precedent  were  estab- 
lished, it  would  be  easy  to  maintain 
the  tradition,  and  the  interest  certain 
to  be  aroused  thereby  in  the  plays 
presented,  would  well  repay  the  time 
and  trouble  spent  in  their  publication. 
Had  such  a  plan  been  inaugurated  this 
present  year,  we  would  have  editions 
of  "The  Recruiting  Officer,"  "Minna 
von  Bamhelm,"  and  "L'Avare,"  in 
addition  to  "Le  Bourgeois"  published 
last  year.  As  the  French  and  German 
departments  both  plan  a  definite  pro- 
gram to  be  followed  through  several 
years,  this  start  would  speedily  insure 
a  most  interesting  collection.

total  receipts,  according  to  the  finan-

of  last  year  by  $8,046.26,  the  balance 
on  hand  was  somewhat  smaller  due 
in  large  part  to  the  improvements  on

been  expended  $18,000.  The  largest 
expenditure  was  for  the  erection  of 
a  new  grandstand  for  the  baseball

EVENT  IN  BRIEF 

At  a  basket-ball  game  between  the 
seniors  and  sophomores  in  the  Bar- 
bour G)minasium,  Friday,  Jan.  24,  the 
seniors  defeated  the  Sophomores  by  a 
score  of  19  to  3. 

Hon.  John  C.  Blade,  of  Chicago,  a 
member  of  the  Civil  Service  Commis- 
sion and  Chicago  attorney,  has  been 
secured  to  deliver  the  annual  Wash- 
ington's Birthday  address  in  Univer- 
sity Hall  to  be  given  under  the  aus- 
pices of  the  Law  Department. 

The  Woman's  League  at  the  Uni- 
versity is  to  present  Sheridan's  School 
for  Scandal  under  the  direction  of 
Mrs.  William  Hoffman,  on  Tuesday 
night,  Feb.  18,  at  the  new  Whitney 
Theater.  The  proceeds  are  to  go  to 
the  Michigan  Union,  in  appreciation 
of  the  co-operation  and  assistance 
which  the  men  of  the  University  gave 
in  building  and  fitting  out  of  Bar- 
bour Gymnasium  for  the  Woman's 
League. 

Michigan  in  all  probability  will  be 
well  represented  at  tfie  Olympic  games, 
to  be  held  in  London  the  coming  sum- 
mer. John  Garrels,  it  is  reported,  has 
already  signified  his  intention  of  com- 
peting for  the  American  team,  as  have 
also  Coe,  Dull,  Heath,  and  Rowe.  The 
track  and  field  events  will  be  open  in 
the  Stadium  at  London  on  July  18; 
the  other  events,  such  as  golf,  shoot- 
ing, yachting,  etc.,  vary  from  early 
in  June  to  late  in  July. 

A  prize  contest,  held  by  the  pub- 
licity committee  of  the  new  student 
opera,  Michigenda,  for  a  poster  de- 
signed to  advertise  the  opera  was  won 
by  Walter  S.  Louderback,  '11,  of  Chi- 
cago. The  successful  design  repre- 
sented two  figures  in  the  Daisy  ballet 
and  will  be  used  not  only  in  general 
advertising,  but  also  upon  Uie  music, 
which  is  to  be  published  by  a  Detroit 


music  house.  The  prize  was  the  wan 
of  $TO.  The  second  prize  was  won  by 
Frank  A.  Kapp,  '10,  of  Toledo,  Ohio. 

Professor  John  B.  Phillips,  of  the 
University  of  Colorado,  has  been  ap- 
pointed to  take  the  place  of  Profes- 
sor John  A.  Fairlie,  as  acting  Junior 
Professor  of  Administrative  Law  dur- 
ing his  absence  in  Washing^n.  Pro- 
fessor Phillips  was  formerly  a  student 
in  the  University,  though  he  received 
his  Doctor's  degree  from  Cornell  in 
1897.  For  two  years  he  was  Assistant 
Librarian  in  the  New  York  State  Li- 
brary. He  will  give  courses  in  state 
and  local  government,  English  politi- 
cal institutions,  and  municipal  gov- 
ernment. 

A  table  recently  prepared,  giving 
the  ages  of  the  328  members  of  the 
present  senior  class  shows  an  average 
age  of  24  at  graduation.  These  fig- 
ures, however,  are  somewhat  invalid- 
ated by  the  fact  that  four  members  of 
the  class  are  over  forty  years  old,  their 
ages  thus  bringing  up  the  average  con- 
siderably. Eighty  members  of  the 
class  will  be  twenty-two  years  old; 
seventy  will  be  twenty-three;  forty- 
six,  twenty-four;  thirty-four,  twenty- 
one  ;  and  twenty-six,  twenty-five  years 
old.  Of  the  total  number,  160  stu- 
dents are  women  and  168  are  men. 

Second  honors  in  the  annual  Ham- 
ilton Oratorical  Contest,  held  Satur- 
day, Jan.  II,  by  the  Hamilton  Club 
of  Chicago,  were  taken  by  Stephen 
W.  Downey,  '08/.  The  first  place  was 
won  by  Carl  M.  Hill  of  Wisconsin, 
who  spoke  on  "Centralization  in  De- 
mocracy." Mr.  Downey's  subject  was 
Hamilton's  Nationalism,"  urging  the 
need  of  a  stronger  power  in  central 
government  to  control  child  labor, 
marriage,  divorce,  and  various  other 
present  day  problems  over  which,  he 
contended,  the  Federal  Government, 
rather  than  the  states^  should  have  jur- 
isdiction.

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[February 


An  important  addition  to  the  val- 
uable collection  of  musical  instruments 
now  in  the  University  Museum  has 
been  recently  made  by  Frederick  Kim- 
ball Steams,  son  of  Frederick  Steams, 
the  donor  of  the  original  collection, 
which  consists  of  some  fourteen  hun- 
dred pieces.  At  the  time  of  Mr. 
Steams'  death,  a  year  ago,  there  re- 
mained some  beautiful  and  rare  spec- 
imens which  he  had  retained,  or  pur- 
chased since  making  his  original  be- 
quest. The  son  has  now  carried  out 
his  father's  wishes  and  the  instru- 
ments have  been  added  to  the  collec- 
tion in  Ann  Arbor. 

At  a  meetmg  of  the  executive  board 
of  the  University  of  Michigan  Union, 
Dec  19,  the  following  rule  was  passed 
which  may  be  of  interest  to  many  who 
have  subscribed  to  the  Union  in  the 
past  "Any  alumnus  or  anyone  at 
present  connected  with  the  University 
who  may  have,  previous  to  Dec.  15, 
1907,  subscribed  to  the  Michigan  Un- 
ion ten  dollars  or  more,  may  become 
a  life  member  of  the  Union  upon  the 
payment  of  this  subscription  and  the 
balance  of  fifty  dollars,  provided  final 
payment  is  made  on  or  before  Oct.  i, 
1908;  membership  ticket  to  be  issued 
at  time  of  said  final  payment." 

Two  professional  directors  have 
been  secured  to  assist  in  the  presenta- 
tion of  Michigenda,  the  comic  opera 
which  is  to  be  presented  by  the  Mich- 
igan Union  Feb.  27,  28  and  29.  Mr. 
B.  C.  Whitney,  of  Detroit,  owner  of 
the  new  Opera  House  in  Ann  Arbor, 
has  been  much  interested  in  the  pro- 
duction and  is  aiding  in  many  ways 
in  making  it  ready  for  the  stage.  The 
scale  of  prices  for  the  performances 
has  been  adopted,  and  is  as  folk>ws: 
Box  seats,  $1.50.  Lower  floor,  first 
fourteen  rows,  $1.00,  remainder,  75c. 
Balcony,  first  four  rows,  $1.00,  sec- 
ond four  rows,  75c,  last  seven  rows, 
Soc.    Gallery,  35c. 


For  the  first  time  in  two  years  the 
University  Banjo  Club  has  been  re- 
vived and  will  take  its  place  at  the 
annual  concert  of  the  Clubs,  which  is 
to  occur  on  the  night  of  F^b.  8,  the 
day  after  the  Junior  Hop.  At  the 
opening  of  the  present  year  there  were 
only  five  of  last  year's  Glee  Club  men 
available,  and  the  services  of  a  pro- 
fessional director.  Earl  Killeen  of  the 
University  School  of  Music,  were  ob- 
tained to  bring  the  excess  of  raw  ma- 
terial into  harmony.  The  Mandolin 
Club  lost  only  one  or  two  of  last  year's 
men  and  has  had  little  difiiculty  in 
rounding  into  form,  under  the  leader- 
ship of  John  Creighton,  '08,  of  Spring- 
field, lU. 

Two  new  student  organizations 
have  recently  been  formed  at  the  Uni- 
versity known  as  the  Educational  Club 
and  the  Acolytes.  The  first,  as  its 
name  implies,  purposes  a  general  in- 
terest in  educational  matters  through 
papers  and  discussfon  on  various  edu- 
cational subjects.  The  Acolytes  de- 
sign to  promote  interest  in  philos- 
ophy among  the  members,  which  in- 
clude the  philosophical  Faculty,  stu- 
dents from  the  junior  and  senior  class- 
es, and  graduate  students  elected  by 
the  recommendation  of  the  Faculty. 
Membership  is  limited  to  twenty  stu- 
dent active  members.  The  Club  is 
to  meet  Tuesday  evenings  in  the  Mor- 
ris Seminary  Room. 

Through  the  mediiun  of  the  Ap- 
pointment Committee  of  the  Univer- 
sity, 275  students  received  positions  as 
teachers,  principals,  and  superintend- 
ents in  various  schools  throughout  the 
country  this  last  year,  although  main- 
ly in  the  Middle  West.  These  posi- 
tions were  secured  as  the  result  of 
numerous  requests  sent  to  the  Ap- 
pointment Committee,  which  is  organ- 
ized to  serve  as  a  medium  between 
school  authorities  and  teachers  sedcing 
places,  and  finds  places  for  Michigan 
students  without  charge  to  prospective

is  maintained  by  the  University,  and 
is  under  the  direction  of  Allen  S. 
Whitney,  Head  of  the  Department  of 
Education. 

The  number  of  University  Officers, 
including  teaching  force  and  adminis- 
trative force,  is  now  412,  according 
to  the  forthcoming  University  Cal- 
endar. These  Professors  and  Admin-

At  a  recent  meeting  of  the  Stu- 
dents' Council  no  action  was  taken  in 
regard  to  purifying  University  poli- 
"the  purity  committee  has  not  recom- 
tics,  because,  as  one  member  stated, 
mended  any  action."  Several  new 
movements,  however,  were  considered 
including  a  set  of  rules  governing  the 
Fresh-Soph  rush.  Class  elections  and 
Campus  advertising  were  also  pre- 
sented for  discussion.  A  formal  rec- 
ommendation was  made  that  a  cer- 
tain day  be  set  aside  for  elections  a 
few  weeks  after  the  opening  of  school, 
doing  away  with  all  the  objectionable 
features  of  a  dozen  elections  spread 
over  that  many  days,  and  guarantee- 
ing to  the  candidates  ample  time  for 
canvassing.  The  other  subject  under 
discussion,  if  carried  out,  will  result 
in  the  exclusion  from  the  Campus  of 
the  various  election  placards  and  pos- 
ters which  seriously  mar  its  appear- 
ance. A  new  constitution  was  also 
presented  to  the  Council  for  consider- 
atbn. 


A  new  system  for  the  report  of 
term  standings  has  been  adopted  by 
the  Engineering  Department  of  the 
University.  At  the  end  of  each  se- 
mester the  character  of  the  work  of 
every  student  is  reported  as  a  (excel- 
lent), b  (good),  c  (fair),  d  (defi- 
cient), or  e  (not  passed).  To  receive 
credit  the  student  must  receive  a  mark 
above  e.  A  student  reported  e  is  to 
receive  no  credit  for  the  course  and 
must  re-elect  it  if  it  is  required  for 
graduation.  A  student  reported  d  is 
required  to  do  further  work  at  the 
option  of  the  instructor,  which  may 
embrace  any  one  or  all  of  the  follow- 
ing requirements:  completion  of  such 
exercises  or  problems,  attendance  at 
designated  classes  and  private  study 
or  the  completion  of  satisfactory  ex- 
amination at  one  of  the  special  or  r^- 
ular  examination  periods,  which  are 
to  be  held  three  times  a  year. 


THE  EFFICACY  OF  TECHNICAL 
TRAINING 

Two  men  prominent  in  the  Engin- 
eering profession  have  recently  ques- 
tioned the  final  efficiency  of  graduates 
of  our  technical  schools.  At  the 
meeting  of  the  Michigan  Engineering 
Society,  which  was  held  at  Battle 
Creek,  Jan.  7,  President  W.  W.  Brig- 
den  of  Battle  Credc  is  quoted  as  say- 
ing that  it  was  the  custom  of  Univer- 
sity presidents  and  others  to  over-rate 
the  ^ue  of  a  technical  education, 
"that  not  more  than  half  the  graduates 
of  engineering  schools  ever  put  their 
education  to  any  considerable  use. 
.  .  .  Modem  technical  graduates 
who  achieve  fame  could  almost  be 
counted  on  one's  fingers." 

R.  T.  Crane,  President  of  the  Crane 
Company  of  Chicago,  has  also  re- 
cently put  himself  upon  record  as  be- 
lieving that  the  time  spent  in  technical 
schools  by  men  desiring  to  become  me- 
chanics, foremen,  and  superintendents, 
is  wasted, — that  he  never  had  such

training  himself  and  has  never  been 
able  to  see  where  "technical  educa- 
tion cuts  the  slightest  figure  in  many 
technical  lines/'  It  is  only  fair  to 
say,  however,  that  in  this  wholesale 
condemnation  of  technical  education 
he  had  reference  to  such  education  in 
connection  with  the  development  of 
general  mechanics.  The  criticism 
was  not  intended  to  apply  to  such 
lines  as  electricity,  chemistry,  mining 
engineering,  etc.  It  is  also  evident 
that  Mr.  Crane  measures  success  in 
these  lines  by  a  monetary  return,  over- 
looking the  fact  that  a  large  portion 
of  the  college  education  is  directed 
toward  making  the  engineer  better 
devebped  in  all  branches,  toward  giv- 
ing him  a  broader  outlook  upon  life 
as  a  whole  than  has  the  man  who  con- 
fines his  attentions  entirely  to  the  nec- 
essarily narrower  activities  of  his  own 
profession  or  business. 

A  very  effective  reply,  however,  to 
Mr.  Brigden's  answer  has  been  com- 
piled by  Professor  John  R.  Allen  of 
the  Engineering  Department  of  the 
University,  who  took  occasion  to  com- 
pile the  following  statistics  after  lis- 
tening to  this  address.  Writing  to 
the  Secretary  of  the  Society  he  says: 

"The  President  of  the  Mechanical 
Engineering  Society  at  Grand  Rap- 
ids meeting  made  some  reference  to 
the  fact  that  only  about  50%  of  the 
engineers  graduated  from  the  techni- 
cal schools  were  successful  in  their 
profession.  Since  listening  to  this  ad- 
dress, I  have  taken  occasion  to  investi- 
gate this  matter  in  connection  with 
our  own  graduates.  As  it  may  be  of 
interest  to  the  society  to  know  the  re- 
sults of  this  investigation,  in  compil- 
ing these  figures  I  took  only  such 
men  as  had  ^n  at  least  ten  years  out 
of  college.  This  was  only  fair  because 
a  young  man  takes  from  five  to  ten 
years  to  find  a  position  suitable  to  his 
knowledge  and  about  five  years  more 
before  he  can  place  himself  on  a  suc- 
cessful basis.  It  would  be  hardly  fair 
to  consider  these  men  until  they  had 


established    a    place    for    themselves 
firmly  in  enginering  woiic 

Statistics  which  have  been  compiled 
included  graduates  of  Mechanical  En- 
gineering Department  of  the  Univer- 
sity of  Michigan  from  the  year  1883 
to  1897,  ^^  which  time  there  have  been 
graduated  85  men.  Nine  of  these  are 
now  Presidents  of  Manufacturing 
Corporations;  four  are  Vice-Presi- 
dents and  Secretaries ;  twelve  are  Gen- 
eral Managers;  four  are  Superinten- 
dents; twenty-two  are  Chief  Engin- 
eers of  Manufacturing  Corporations; 
three  are  patent  attorneys ;  three  Pro- 
fessors in  Universities,  and  out  of  the 
entire  85  only  five  have  gone  into  oth- 
er pursuits.  The  following  table 
gives  this  information  expressed  in 
per  cent. 

Presidents  of  Manufacturing 

Corporations   (9^  10.6% 

Vice-rresident  &  Secretary...(4  j  4.7% 

General  Managers 1 12)  14    % 

Superintendents    (4)  4.7% 

Chief  Engineers (22)  ao    % 

Consulting  Engineers (11)  13    % 

Patent  Attorneys  (3)  354% 

Professors   (3)  3^% 

Gone  into  other  pursuits (  5  )  6    % 

Leaving  24%  as  chief  draftsmen  and  sim- 
ilar positions." 

In  furtherance  of  this  method  of 
proving  definitely  the  value  of  colle- 
giate technical  education.  Dean  M.  E. 
Cooley  of  the  Engineering  Department 
is  planning  a  statistical  campaign  to 
ascertain  the  salaries  received  by  grad- 
uates of  this  University.  Every  year 
the  Secretary  of  the  Engineering 
School  sends  out  blanks  to  every  en- 
gineering alumnus,  requesting  infor- 
mation in  regard  to  his  work,  and 
any  changes  in  position  or  address 
which  have  been  made  during  the 
year,  to  be  published  in  the  annual 
prospectus  of  the  department.  With 
these  letters  are  to  be  sent  this  year 
a  self-addressed  envelope  to  the  En- 
gineering Department,  containing  a 
card  upon  which  each  one  will  be  re- 
quested to  give  the  date  of  his  grad- 
uation, occupation,  title  or  rank,  pro-

fessional  income,  income  from  other 
sources  and  total  income.  No  name 
is  to  be  signed  however.  The  letter 
will  be  filed  with  the  others  with  no 
means  of  identification,  and  the  sta- 
tistics, thus  obtained,  will  be  collated 
and  analyzed.  Everyone  who  re- 
ceives the  letter  should  take  pains  to 
reply,  as  it  is  the  belief  of  the  mem- 
bers of  the  Engineering  Faculty  that 
these  statistics  would  prove  the  most 
effective  answer  possible  to  such 
charges  sis  are  quoted  above. 

THE  NINTH  CONFERENCE  OP  THE 
ASSOCIATION  OF  AMERICAN  UNI- 
VERSITIES— ANN  ARBOR, 
JANUARY  9  AND  10 
At  the  meeting  of  the  Association 
of  American  Universities,  held  in 
Ann  Arbor  January  9  and  10,  several 
very  important  actions  were  taken 
lodcing  toward  the  centralization  of 
University  interests  in  the  United 
States  and  a  closer  correlation  with 
foreign  educational  institutions.  The 
most  important  subjects  of  discussion 
were;  the  adoption  of  a  report  pre- 
sented by  President  Schurman  of  Cor- 
nell, recommending  a  definite  standard 
for  membership  in  the  Association; 
the  authorization  of  a  delegate  to  the 
Pan-American  G>ng^ess  of  Higher 
Education;  the  discussion  of  the 
amount  of  woric  which  should  be  re- 
quired by  the  standard  universities  for 
admission  to  professional  schools,  as 
well  as  the  adoption  of  some  unifor- 
mity in  requirements  for  the  Doctor- 
ate. 

The  Universities  represented  in  the 
Association  are  California,  the  Cath- 
olic University  of  America,  Chicago, 
Clark  University,  Columbia,  Cornell, 
Harvard,  Johns  Hopkins,  Michigan, 
Pennsylvania,  Princeton,  Stanford, 
Virginia,  Wisconsin,  and  Yale.  All 
of  3iese  Universities  were  represent- 
ed by  at  least  one  delegate,  with  the 
exceptk)n  of  Clark  University.  At 
the  business  meeting  held  at  the  last 
session,  the  Universities  of  Illinois, 


Missouri,  and  Minnesota  were  ad- 
mitted to  membership.  The  Univer- 
sity of  Michigan  with  Dr.  Angell  as 
its  representative  was  elected  Presi- 
dent of  the  Association  for  the  com- 
ing year,  and  Harvard  was  made  Sec- 
retary. 

The  report  presented  by  President 
Schurman  of  Cornell,  as  chairman  of 
the  committee  on  the  aim  and  scope 
of  the  Association  authorized  at  the 
eighth  Conference,  held  with  Harvard 
in  1906,  was  the  result  of  a  new  and 
unexpected  duty  imposed  upon  the 
Association.  The  Dutch  and  Prussian 
governments  recently  gave  notice  that 
they  would  recognize  no  university 
which  was  not  a  member  of  this  As- 
sociation. In  other  words,  only  stu- 
dents from  universities  which  are 
members  of  the  Association  would  be 
admitted  to  Dutch  and  Prussian 
schools.  It  has  been  a  source  of  no 
small  trouble  to  the  authorities  of  var- 
ious foreign  universities  to  pass  upon 
the  credentials  of  students  coming 
from  various  American  institutions, 
and  the  American  ambassadors  have 
frequently  been  consulted  as  to  the 
standing  of  this  or  that  college  or  uni- 
versity. 

The  Cornell  Alumni  News  gives  a 
very  interesting  example  in  this  con- 
nection. "A  graduate  of  a  small  but 
excellent  and  venerable  American 
college  presented  his  diploma  at  a 
German  university  and  applied  for  ad- 
mission. His  application  was  denied, 
whereupon  he  expressed  astonishment 
and  said  that  this  same  diploma  had 
admitted  him  to  Cornell  University, 
where  he  had  pursued  several  terms 
of  graduate  study.  He  was  then  told 
that  9  certificate  that  he  had  pursued 
such  study  at  Cornell  would  be  accept- 
ed in  lieu  of  examination.  He  ob- 
tained a  letter  from  Dean  Crane  and 
was  admitted,  simply  because  the  Ger- 
man authorities  recognized  Cornell  as 
a  member  of  the  Association  of  Amer- 
ican Universities."

[February 


Universities  the  two  governments 
mentioned  saw  a  means  by  which 
they  could  solve  the  question  by  recog- 
nizing only  the  universities  included 
in  its  membership.  But  this  immediate- 
ly placed  a  new  obligation  upon  the 
Association.  It  made  it  necessary  not 
only  not  to  exclude  any  institution 
worthy  of  the  name  university,  but 
also  made  it  necessary  to  find  a  defi- 
nition for  the  term  "University."  At 
the  same  time  a  standard  for  other 
universities  applying  for  membership 
in  the  Association  became  imperative, 
since  applications  for  membership 
were  coming  from  several  institutions 
which  recognized  the  value  and  sig- 
nificance of  the  Association.  As  Pres- 
ident Schurman,  in  his  report  express- 
ed it,  the  task  was  nothing  less  than 
the  finding  of  criteria  for  the  stand- 
ardizing of  American  universities. 

Two  criteria  were  selected  by 
which  the  rank  of  universities  is  here- 
after to  be  determined.  These  are, 
briefly,  the  maintenance  of  a  strong 
graduate  department  (iormerly  the 
sole  condition  of  membership)  and 
the  requirement  of  one  or  more  years 
of  college  work  as  a  prerequisite  for 
professional  courses.  The  latter  pol- 
icy, dealing  with  admission  to  profes- 
sional courses,  is,  of  course,  especially 
significant.  In  speaking  of  this  the 
report  says:  "The  ideal  of  your  com- 
mittee is  the  combination  of  this  re- 
quirement with  the  present  require- 
ment of  a  strong  graduate  school  as  a 
condition  for  membership  in  this  As- 
sociation. But  they  recognize  that  a 
strict  enforcement  of  both  require- 
ments might  work  substantial  hard- 
ship at  the  present  time.  Neverthe- 
less they  think  that  in  universities 
which  have  professional  schools  and 
a  graduate  department  it  is  not  too 
much  to  ask  at  the  present  time  that 
the  graduate  department  shall  be  at 
least  creditable,  and  that  the  arts  and 
technical  work  prescribed  for  profes- 
sional degrees  in  at  least  one  profes- 
sional school  shall  be  not  less  than  five 


years.  It  is  the  thought  of  your  com- 
mittee that  if  this  dusd  standard  of  ad- 
mission be  now  accepted  by  the  As- 
sociation it  may  be  possible  to  enforce 
it  with  increasing  st;rictness  as  the 
years  go  by." 

After  the  adoption  of  this  report 
the  Association  admitted  Illinois,  Min- 
nesota, and  Missouri  to  membership. 
The  adoption  of  tfiis  report  led  to 
still  another  duty  which  was  placed 
upon  the  committee, — the  task  of  com- 
piling a  list  of  all  the  colleges  of  the 
country  whose  degrees  the  Association 
may  declare  to  be  of  equal  value  with 
the  college  degrees  conferred  by  the 
Universities  now  embraced  in  the  As- 
sociation. 

The  second  session,  which  was  held 
in  the  same  place,  was  spent  in  the 
discussion  of  the  relation  between  the 
Universities  of  North  and  South 
America.  Dr.  Leo  S.  Rowe  of  the 
University  of  Pennsylvania,  who  has 
recently  spent  eighteen  months  in  the 
study  of  South  American  conditions, 
read  a  paper  upon  "The  Possibilities 
of  Intellectual  Co-operatk)n  between 
North  and  South  America."  The  As- 
sociation has  recognized  the  desira- 
bility of  a  closer  union  of  universities 
in  both  the  American  continents,  and 
it  was  with  an  appreciation  of  the  pos- 
sibilities of  such  an  entente  cordiale 
that  one  session  was  given  to  the  dis- 
cussion of  this  topic.  Dr.  Rowe,  while 
characterizing  carefully  the  various 
South  American  Republics,  overturn- 
ed many  beliefs  which  he  characterized 
as  fundamental  misconceptions  of  that 
continent.  Professor  James  H.  Brew- 
ster, of  the  Law  Department  of  this 
University,  who  has  also  recently  spent 
some  time  in  South  America,  address- 
ed the  meeting.  After  listening  to 
these  reports,  with  some  discussion, 
the  Association  passed  the  following 
resolutions : 

Whereas,  The  Executive  Committee  of  the 
Latin-American  Scientific  Congress  has 
determined  to  make  the  next  Congress 
"Pan-American"  instead  of  "Latin- 
American";  and

Whirtias,  The  Chilean  Govcrament  has  ex- 
tended an  invitation  to  the  Government 
of  the  United  States  to  participate  in 
this  Congress  to  assemble  at  Santiago, 
Chile,  in  December,  1908;  and 

Whereas,  This  Congress  will  serve  to  bring 
the  best  thou^t  and  experience  of 
America  to  bear  on  the  great  problems 
common  to  all  the  Republics  of  this 
Continent  and  will  thus  serve  to 
strengthen  the  ties  between  the  Ameri- 
can nations; 

Be  It  Rssolvxd  by  the  Association  of  Am- 
erican Universities  assembled  in  con- 
vention at  Ann  Arbor,  Michigan,  That 
the  Congress  of  the  United  States  be 
earnestly  requested  to  make  provision 
for  ade()uate  representation  at  this 
forthcoming  Pan-American  Scientific 
Congress,  as  recommended  in  the  Re- 
port of  Secretary  Root  of  December 
I9>  1907*  and  in  the  spedal  message  of 
the  President  of  December  21,  1907. 

In  the  evening  session  Dr.  Victor 
H.  Vaughan,  of  the  University,  dis- 
cussed Ac  "Provision  in  the  Under- 
graduate courses  for  Preprofessional 
Study."  In  this  paper  Dr.  Vaughan 
did  not  attempt  to  discuss  the  necessi- 
ties of  all  the  professional  schools.  He 
relied  rather  upon  a  careful  analysis 
of  the  needs  of  the  Medical  School  as 
an  example.  The  sciences  which  con- 
tribute most  largely  to  medical  knowl- 
edge he  divided  into  two  groups.  The 
first  are  those  which  have  been  con- 
sidered so  exclusively  medical  that 
their  support  and  development  has  by 
common  consent  been  left  wholly  to 
the  profession,  including  anatomy, 
embryology,  pathology,  physiology, 
physiological  chemistry  and  hygiene. 
The  second  group,  the  sciences  upon 
which  medicine  depends,  although 
largely  developed  by  researches  of 
medical  men,  are  in  and  of  themselves 
so  fundamental  to  all  the  other  sci- 
ences and  have  contributed  so  largely 
to  other  professional  applications  that 
they  have  long  been  regarded  as  con- 
stituting the  domain  of  general  sci- 
ence. These  are  biology,  including 
botany  and  zoology,  chemistry,  or- 
ganic and  inorganic,  and  physics.  In 
discussing  these  Dr.  Vaughan  made  a 


strong  plea  for  their  study  by  the 
prospective  physician  not  with  a  view 
to  their  direct  professional  application, 
but  as  a  whole.  He  should  rather  be 
grounded  in  the  basic  principles  of 
these  sciences. 

Dr.  Vaughan  made  the  following 
summary  of  this  part  of  his  paper: 
"(i)  Medical  education  in  this  coun- 
try has  reached  a  stage  when  it  must 
demand  of  its  matriculates  a  good 
sound  training  in  physics,  chemistry, 
and  biology.  (2)  The  extent  of  the 
instruction  in  these  branches  demand- 
ed is  beyond  that  g^ven  in  even  the 
best  of  our  secondary  schools  and  it 
must  be  obtained  in  our  universities 
or  schools  of  technology.  This  in- 
struction should  be  largely  in  the  lab- 
oratory and  as  a  minimum  each  of  the 
three  sciences  should  require  one  half 
the  student's  time  for  one  semester, 
and  more  than  this  should  be  given 
if  the  student  has  had  no  proper  train- 
ing in  the  elements  of  these  branches 
in  the  secondary  school.  (3)  Knowl- 
edge of  these  subjects  is  essential  to 
the  satisfactory  study  of  medicine  and 
no  substitutes  for  them  can  be  accept- 
ed. (4)  The  best  medical  schools 
cannot  accept  for  matriculation  the 
bachelor's  degree  even  from  our  best 
universities  without  going  back  of  the 
degree  and  ascertaining  how  thor- 
oughly the  student  has  been  grounded 
in  these  sciences." 

In  addition  to  the  study  of  the  sci- 
ences, emphasis  was  also  placed  upon 
the  reading  knowledge  of  both  Ger- 
man and  French.  The  student  who 
takes  up  the  study  of  medicine  with- 
out such  knowledge  labors  under  a 
severe  handicap,  as  many  of  the  stand- 
ard works  in  medicine  are  still  tm- 
translated.  For  instance,  not  one  of 
the  great  papers  of  Pasteur  or  Koch 
have  been  translated  as  yet  into  Eng- 
lish. Their  results  have  been  trans- 
lated into  many  languages,  but  the 
thorough  student  wants  all  the  steps 
that  led  to  the  results,  and  these  have 
never  been  given  in  English.

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[February 


In  further  discussion  he  made  the 
statement  that  to  the  medical  teacher 
most  students*  knowledge  of  these  lan- 
guages is  at  present  quite  disappoint- 
ing. Excluding  students  of  foreign 
birth  or  parentage,  the  graduates  of 
our  best  universities  with  two  years 
or  more  in  French  or  German  are  us- 
ually unable  to  utilize  this  knowledge 
in  medical  studies.  Dr.  Vaughan  be- 
lieves that  the  study  of  foreign  lan- 
guages is  not  begun  early  enough.  He 
advocated  its  introduction  in  the  first 
year  of  the  high  school  or  even  the 
grades.  He  criticized  the  tendency  of 
universities  to  make  the  teaching  of 
French  and  German  too  much  a  mat- 
ter of  drill  and  grammar  and  felt  that 
the  professor  is  often  so  anxious  to 
make  his  students  speak  the  language 
correctly  that  he  defeats  his  own  pur- 
pose by  leaving  them  in  such  a  con- 
fused state  that  they  can  neither  read 
nor  speak  it  at  all. 

The  meeting  was  brought  to  a  ck>se 
the  following  morning,  Jan.  lo,  by  a 
business  meeting  and  a  discussion  of 
the  requirements  for  the  Doctor's  de- 
gree, following  a  meeting  of  the  exec- 
utive committee.  Papers  were  pre- 
sented on  behalf  of  the  University  of 
Chicago  by  Dean  Albion  W.  Small 
and  I^n  RoUin  D.  Salisbury,  and  by 
President  Remsen  of  Johns  Hopkins 
University. 


MICHIGAN  THROUGH  SCOTCH  BYES 

Once  more  Michigan  figures  in  a 
series  of  articles  on  American  G>1- 
leges.  This  time,  however,  we  appear 
as  seen  through  British,  or  radier 
Scotch,  spectacles.  The  paper  in 
question  was  published  in  the  Glas- 
gow Herald  for  Saturday,  Dec.  21, 
in  a  series  entitled  "America  at  Col- 
lege," of  which  Michigan  was  the 
sixth.  While  a  large  portion  of  the 
article  contains  little  that  is  of  direct 
interest,  since  it  is  no  news  to  us,  still 
it  is  of  interest  to  know  that  the  Uni- 
versity has  been  set  before  our  Brit- 


ish friends  in  a  favorable  light.  The 
writer  was  Mr.  R.  K.  Risl^  a  grad- 
uate of  the  University  of  Glasgow, 
and  a  sub-editor  of  the  Glasgow  Her- 
ald who  has,  according  to  Dr.  R.  A. 
Wenley,  an  old  acquaintance  and 
friend  of  his  at  Glasgow,  some  repu- 
tation as  a  minor  poet  He  spent  but 
a  day  in  Ann  Arbor,  and  therefore 
could  enter  but  superficially  into  the 
detail  of  our  college  life,  although  he 
managed  to  get  at  the  spirit  of  ex- 
ternals with  remarkable  success. 

This  article  follows  similar  ones  on 
Harvard,  Yale,  and  Cornell,  and  char- 
acterizes Michigan  as  "the  typical  Un- 
iversity founded  by  a  state  in  response 
to  the  demands  of  its  people  for  an 
institution  of  higher  learning  to  carry 
on  and  complete  the  work  of  the  pul>- 
lie  schools,  and  maintained  at  the  pub- 
lic charges."  The  writer  discusses 
somewhat  at  length  the  system  of  con- 
trol by  a  Board  of  Regents  and  their 
direct  election.  The  comparatively 
small  size  of  this  board  impresses  him 
favorably.  After  discussing  various 
professional  departments  m  makes 
following  observation : 

"At  Ann  Arbor,  as  at  Cornell,  one 
finds  the  technical  and  professional 
schools  very  highly  developed,  and 
also  less  exacting  in  their  entrance  re- 
quirements than  the  older  Universities 
of  the  Eastern  States.  And  the  same 
observation  is  true  of  the  Arts  Fac- 
ul^ — the  Department  of  Literature, 
Science,  and  the  Arts,  as  its  official 
description  runs.  A  St^ite  which 
maintains  a  University  requires  it  to 
make  the  best  of  the  material  which 
the  High  Schools  provide,  and  appar- 
ently the  quality  of  the  material  falls 
in  the  ratio  of  the  distance  of  its  place 
of  origin  from  New  York  and  Boston. 
Speaking  generally  of  the  Middle 
West,  practically  all  the  teaching  in 
the  primary  schools  and  60  per  cent 
of  the  work  of  High  Schools  is  done 
by  women.  In  Ann  Arbor  itself,  for 
example,  a  High  School  for  some  600 
to  800  students  is  taught  by  ten  men

and  thirty  women.  The  vast  majority 
of  undergraduates  are  admitted  on 
presentation  of  diplomas  from  schools 
which  have  been  placed  by  the  Faculty 
of  the  University  on  its  approved  list 
The  schools  thus  recognized  by  the 
University  are  kept  up  to  the  mark  by 
periodic  inspection,  and  the  necessity 
of  having  their  certificates  renewed 
after  the  lapse  of  three  years.  But 
this  is  manifestly  a  method  of  admis- 
sion which  may  develop  very  consid- 
erable elasticity. 

Mr.  Risk  also  finds  somethinp^  to 
say  about  the  situation  of  the  Univer- 
si^  and  the  rooming  house  question, 
a  problem,  which,  as  we  have  sug- 
gested before  is  bound  sooner  or  later 
to  demand  a  different  solution  than 
Ann  Arbor  offers  at  present. 

"Probably  nobody  at  Ann  Arbor, 
except  perhaps  the  directors  of  the 
medical  school,  regrets  that  the  Uni- 
versity is  not  located  in  Detroit  It  is 
beautifully  situated,  with  the  custom- 
ary regard  for  spaciousness,  above 
this  quaintly-named  city  of  South- 
Eastem  Michigan.  The  University 
looks  down  over  the  picturesque  val- 
ley of  the  Huron  River.  One  natur- 
ally expected  that  Michigan  would 
have  been  residential.  It  stands  in 
the  country,  and  it  has  the  resources 
of  a  wealthy  State  behind  it.  But  a 
former  President,  of  some  forty  years 
ago,  cherished  the  eccentric  idea  that 
"diggings"  provide  an  acceptable  sub- 
stitute for  home  life — a  notion  whose 
humour  will  be  fully  appreciated  by 
the  Glasgow  student,  past  and  present 
So  the  funds  which  might  have  been 
allocated  to  the  provision  of  dormi- 
tories were  devoted  to  other  Univer- 
sity purposes,  and  Ann  Arbor  City 
today  exists  chiefly  to  provide  lodg- 
ings for  some  5,000  young  men  and 
women,  who  are  boarded  at  rates  vary- 
ing from  I2S  to  £1  a  week.  One  can 
easily  imagine  the  difficulties  which 
will  have  to  be  overcome  by  any  fu- 
ture President  who  is  determined  to 
make  the  University  residential.    At 


present  the  Fraternities,  of  which 
there  are  over  thirty,  and  a  dozen  So- 
rorities do  something  to  supply  this 
deficiency.  They  house  about  a  third 
of  the  student  body." 


MICHIGAN   AT   THE   MEETINGS   OP 
THE  LEARNED  SOCIETIES 

Michigan  was  well  represented  at 
the  meeting  of  the  various  learned 
societies  which  met  during  the  Christ- 
mas Holidays.  While  it  is  difficult  to 
obtain  a  complete  report  of  all  the 
meetings,  the  following  will  serve  to 
show  in  part  the  prominent  place  tak- 
en by  Michigan's  Faculty  and  alumni. 

At  the  meetings  of  the  American 
Association  for  the  Advancement  of 
Science,  at  Chicago  Dec.  30  to  Jan. 
4,  together  with  the  several  afiiliated 
societies  which  held  their  sessions  at 
the  same  time,  a  number  of  addresses 
and  papers  were  given  as  folk>ws: 

In  the  discussions  of  the  Section 
on  Mechanical  Science  and  Engineer- 
ing, the  question  of  "Teaching  of 
Mathematics  to  Students  in  Engin- 
eeringf**  was  discussed  by  Professor 
Gardner  S.  Williams,  '89,  from  the 
standpoint  of  a  Professor  in  Engineer- 
ing,, and  Professor  Alexander  Ziwet 
discussed  "the  Present  Status  of 
Teaching  Mathematics  to  Engineering 
Students  in  Foreign  Coimtries."  Rol> 
ert  S.  Woodward,  '72,  President  of 
the  Carnegie  Institution,  delivered  the 
Presidential  Address  to  the  same  sec- 
tion, and  also  read  a  paper  on  "Meth- 
od of  Determining  the  Modulus  of 
Bending  of  a  Flat  Spring."  Elmer  E. 
Brown,  '89,  at  present  United  States 
Commissioner  of  Education,  delivered 
the  Vice-Presidential  Address  before 
the  Educational  Section  upon  "the 
Outlook  of  the  Section  for  Educa- 
tion." 

Among  the  papers  given  by  the 
members  of  the  various  Faculties  of 
the  University  at  these  meetings  were 
two  papers  by  Prof.  Henry  S.  Carhart 
on  "A  Comparison  of  the  Formulas  of

It  is  a  common  observation  in  phil- 
osophical circles  today,  that  unless  one 
understands  the  mood  in  which  men 
of  twenty-five  or  thirty  years  ago  read 
Hegel  in  Britain  and  America — ^thc 
things  they  zealously  sought  in  him, 
and  got  conviction  of  having  found, 
— one  cannot  grasp  the  meaning  of 
the  Hegelian  philosophy  to  these  men. 
It  is  mere  triteness  to  say  that  that 
philosophy  was  not  to  them  just  an 
intellectually  impressive  edifice  of 
thought  on  a  vast  scale,  but  literally 


"a  Way  of  Life."  Spiritually  fagged 
or  disconsolate,  dragging  through  the 
stony  grey  levels  of  Mill,  Comte,  and 
Spencer;  not  stimulated,  but  teased 
and  bitten,  even  by  the  keen  white 
frosts  of  Hume  (for  the  point  is,  that 
these  were,  almost  without  exception, 
anxiously  religious-minded  men,  sore- 
ly troubled  over  their  own  and  their 
Age's  failure  in  essential  faith), — ^they 
greeted  Hegel  as  the  Spirit's  very 
Promised  Land  of  com  and  wine  and 
open  skies.  Announcing  discovery  of 
this  Land  of  Good  Things,  J.  H.  Stir- 
ling rises  to  Carlylean  dithyrambs; 
Thomas  Hill  Green  finds  in  it  inspired 
nurture  for  a  life  of  something  like 
real  saintship;  even  Edward  Caird 
imbibes  fiery  waters  of  prophecy.  Be 
it  said,  moreover,  of  this  group,  that 
they  were,  nearly  all  of  them,  gifted 
beyond  the  average  even  of  the  pro- 
fessedly philosophizing  part  of  their 
Anglo-Saxon  race  in  metaphysical  ca- 
pacity and  real  zest;  so  that  Hegel's 
prodigious  scope  and  sustained  heights 
depths  of  sheer  thinking  really  meant 
much  to  them  in  the  purely  intellec- 
tual way. 

Now  Professor  Morris,  as  a  stu- 
dent of  philosophy,  had  made  his  way

into  this  English-American  body  of 
Hegelianism,  and  in  very  typical  fash- 
ion. He  had  actually  attended  a  theo- 
logical seminary;  had  beheld  cherish- 
ed things  crumble,  leaving  ashes  in 
his  hands ;  and,  after  travail  and  wan- 
dering, he  found,  through  Hegel,  a 
road  back  to  serenity  and  the  old  sac- 
red Objects,  transfigured  but  the 
same.  From  here  came  the  central 
determinant  feature  in  his  activity  as 
thinker  and  teacher:  -he  proceeded 
more  fundamentally  out  of  the  heart 
than  the  head — was  the  preacher — 
quiet  and  unpushful,  but  earnestly 
convinced — of  a  personal  gospel, 
rather  than  the  expounder  of  a  naked 
intellectual  system  of  ideas. 

Professor  Morris  liked  better  to 
call  himself  a  Christian  philosopher 
than  a  Hegelian;  and  not  the  least 
wakening  experience,  intellectually 
and  morally,  for  the  brash,  raw, 
overt  youth  who  happened  to  be  try- 
ing this  thing,  the  history  of  philos- 
ophy,— was  to  get  Morris's  lectures 
unfolding  and  explaining  the  rational 
deeps  underlying  or  uttered  forth  in 
the  Gospels,  St.  Paul,  and  the  succes- 
sion of  Church  Fathers.  Still,  the 
logic  which  Professor  Morris  brought 
to  the  interpretation  of  these  Sacred 
Writings,  was  a  Hegelian  logic;  so 
that  the  only  modification  necessary 
in  our  statement  of  his  philosophical 
affiliations  and  outlook  is, — we  should 
call  him  a  member — a  notable  member 
—of  a  contemporary  group  of  think- 
ers who,  proceeding  under  Hegel's 
dispensation,  found  rather  the  most 
ardent  part  of  their  function,  in  being 
propounders  and  restorers  of  the  Gos- 
pel. 

But  though  a  preacher,  or  persuad- 
er— modest,  without  loudness,  more 
by  indirection  than  bold  attack — Dr. 
Morris  was  also  a  scholar  of  the  mod- 
em type.  Living  in  Germany,  a  lover 
of  the  German  mind  and  German  in- 
tellectual methods,  he  brought  back 
with  him  the  German  care  for  fact, 


and  the  scholar's  homely  sense  of  ob- 
ligation to  make  sure  of  the  fact.  In- 
deed, his  scholarship  was  unusual  for 
a  professor  of  philosophy  in  this  coun- 
try nearly  a  generation  ago;  and 
many  a  secular-minded  or  antagon- 
istic young  person,  who  more  or  less 
resented  the  '^Christian  Spiritualism" 
and  mild  odor  of  cburchliness  in  the 
professor  and  his  classes  (though 
never  the  professor's  own  central  mor- 
al spirit),  was  distinctly  reached  by 
his  scholarship  and  scholar's  temper, 
and  carried  away,  for  life,  new  per- 
ceptions, new  standards,  in  the  deal- 
ing with  truth. 

This  for  the  basal  substance  and 
general  method  of  Professor  Morris's 
thinking  and  teaching.  He  added  to 
these  an  individuality  both  of  inner 
mind  and  outward  manner,  altogether 
marked — though  again  in  that  same 
wholly  quiet,  unobtrusive  way  I  have 
already  two  or  three  times  mentioned. 
No  student  who  sat  under  him,  can 
ever  forget  that  spare,  rather  loosely- 
jointed,  angular  figure,  with  the  sol- 
emn and  delicate  countenance,  as  he 
came  into  Room  21,  half-shyly,  and 
then,  instead  either  of  seating  himself 
at  the  ordinary  table  or  else  standing 
to  read  his  manuscript  from  the  tall 
rack  before  him,  drew  a  high,  backless 
stool  up  behind  the  rack,  crawled  onto 
it,  twisting  his  legs  about  it  in  most 
precarious  and  funny  fashion,  and  at 
the  same  time  starting  with  his  lec- 
ture, all  unconsciously. 

This  unconsciousness  was  a  most 
delightsome  trait  in  Professor  Morris! 
Who,  of  those  days,  does  not  remem- 
ber the  Professor's  Shetland  pony, 
scarce  bigger  than  a  good-sized  mas- 
tiff, with  a  cart  behind  exactly  to 
match,  and  the  Professor,  Prince- 
Albert-coated  and  in  *'stove-pipe"  hat, 
seated  in  the  cart  and  serenely  driving 
about  town  doing  his  errands!  If 
memory  is  not  guilty  of  mythologiz- 
ing,  here  behind  the  cart  ran  a  dog 
almost  as  big  as  the  horse  in  front  1

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[February 


However,  the  point  about  both  high 
stool  and  pony-cart  is,  that  Profes- 
sor Morris  was  slyly  as  aware  of  the 
choiceness  of  the  spectacle  as  the  veri- 
est freshman  or  "townie"  that  laugh- 
ed;— on  the  right  occasion,  he  would 
have  been  ready  to  laugh  guilefully 
with  them.  But  in  general,  stool 
and  pony  served  him  too  well,  and  he 
was  too  intent  on  business,  to  have 
time  to  laugh  much,  or  to  let  himself 
be  scared  out  of  them  because  some- 
body else  wanted  to  laugh. 

Yet  he  could  laugh — and  jest  too; 
to-wit,  his  dry  demonstration  that  the 
first  professors  were  the  Sophists,  and 
his  soft,  injured  plaint,  to  the  whole 
room-full  of  his  auditors,  begging  he 
might  be  spared  the  honors  of  the 
title,  seeing  he  did  not  "profess." 

His  vocabulary  was  never  other 
than  choice,  cultured,  and  effective. 
At  the  outset,  or  until  the  ardor  came, 
his  delivery  was  hesitant,  or  even  em- 
barrassed, and  interrupted  by  a  fre- 
quent small  cough.  When  though,  the 
appeal  of  his  subject — a  great  philo- 
sophical system  or  character — ^began 
to  take  hold  upon  him,  all  such  diffi- 
culty vanished.  There  was  no  raising 
of  the  voice— on  the  contrary,  it  fell 
into  a  kind  of  subdued,  intimate  half- 
monotone;  there  was  no  hurry,  or 
any  obvious  outward  sign  of  excita- 
tion ;  but  all  the  more  on  this  account, 
the  speaker's  unwilled — sometimes 
half-unwilling — intensity  and  persua- 
sive power  dominated  and  suffused 
the  class  till  its  mood  became  like  that 
of  worship  in  a  church.  Indeed, 
"church-like"  might  very  largely  de- 
scribe the  decorous  and  respectfully 
attentive  atmosphere  of  Professor 
Morris's  class-room  in  general. 

The  writer  of  this  sketch  recalls 
with  perfect  vividness,  though  it  is 
now  twenty  years  ago,  the  concluding 
lecture  on  Spinoza,  before  that  year's 


class  in  the  history  of  philosophy. 
Most  of  that  day,  and  days  before, 
the  lecture  had  been  jogging  along 
patiently  and  painstakingly,  through 
an  analysis  of  Part  after  Part,  and 
Proposition  after  Proposition,  of  the 
"Ethics";  until  now  he  arrived  close 
towards  the  end.  Then  the  class  grad- 
ually woke  to  the  fact  that  Professor 
Morris  was  traveling  onto  the  heights ; 
and  we  began  to  follow,  as  perhaps 
never  before  or  again,  clear  through 
to  his  closing  sentence,  "Thus  endeth 
this  masterpiece  of  philosophical  and 
spiritual  literature" ;  and  then  at  least 
one  freshman  went  home  from  that 
class  with  an  impression  that  has 
proved  indelible. 

It  is  suggestive  of  the  fashion  of 
this  admirable  man  and  teacher,  that 
this  sentence  just  quoted,  which  can 
scarce  be  repeated  without  being  made 
rhetorical,  was  delivered  with  a  kind 
of  deprecatory  fall  into  the  matter- 
of-fact,  off-hand  style,  and  accompan- 
ied by  a  wholly  business-like,  I-bid- 
you-good-morning  closing  of  his  man- 
uscript-volume. 

When,  all  at  once,  in  the  early 
spring  of  1889,  we  were  informed  that 
Professor  Morris,  after  an  illness  of 
a  few  days,  had  died,  not  only  a  heart- 
felt regret,  but  that  sense  of  bitter 
puzzledness,  which  tends  to  overtake 
human  nature  in  the  presence  of  the 
seeming  needless  carrying  off  of  a 
good  or  great  man  in  his  prime  of  life 
and  service,  spread  through  the  whole 
University  community  in  a  very  un- 
wonted degree.  To  more  than  one  of 
the  meditative,  unripe,  earnest  youths 
who  had  been  learning  their  first  phil- 
osophizings  through  the  mere  hear- 
ing of  the  much-respected,  good  phil- 
osopher, the  death  of  the  philosopher 
became  itself  a  sincere,  life-edged 
problem  in  philosophy.

THE  ENGINEERING  DEPARTMENT 


191 


A  SHORT  HISTORY  OF  THE  DEPARTMENT 
OF  ENGINEERING 


The  history  of  the  Engineering  De- 
partment is,  of  course,  woven  into  the 
story  of  tbe  whole  University  and 
therefore  it  takes  its  rise  in  the  law 
of  Mar.  18,  1837,  as  a  part  of  "The 
University  of  Michigan,"  which  was 
to  consist  of  three  departments,  one 
of  which  was  the  Department  of  Lit- 
erature, Science,  and  the  Arts.  And 
of  the  Professorships  to  be  established 
under  the  law  in  this  department  was 
named  one  of  Civil  Engineering  and 
Architecture.  The  original  plan  of 
the  first  Superintendent  of  Public  In- 
struction for  the  organization  of  the 
University  laid  before  the  Legislature 
on  Jan.  5,  1837,  named  as  No.  15  of 
the  professorships  to  be  established, 
one  of  Civil  Engineering  and  Draw- 
ing. 

To  the  practical  engineering  mind 
it  may  not  appear  a  matter  of  regret 
that  our  department  can  lay  no  claim 
to  descent  from  the  quaint  and  fanci- 
ful "Catholepistemiad  or  University  of 
Michigania"  of  1817,  as  in  the  act  of 
the  Governor  and  Judges  of  the  terri- 
tory creating  that  curious  educational 
structure,  there  is  no  mention  of  a 
"Didaxia"  which  could  possibly  be 
construed  as  a  Professorship  of  En- 
gineering, unless  the  "Didaxia  or  Pro- 
fessorship of  Polemitactica,  or  Mili- 
tary Science,"  might  be  broadly  inter- 
preted to  contain  a  Professorship  of 
Military  Engineering.  "Catholepiste- 
miad" is  such  a  unique,  sonorous,  and 
altogether  superior  title  that  even  a 
prosaic  mechanical  engineer  might  be 
proud  of  membership  therein.  How- 
ever, had  engineering  only  been  men- 
tioned, in  this  territorial  plan,  our 
school  might  possibly  claim  to  have 
been  "founded"  in  18 17,  and  thus  have 
been  the  first  in  point  of  age,  instead 
of  second,  in  the  United  States.  As  it 
is,  Rensselear  Polytechnic    Institute, 


founded  in  1824,  leads  by  a  few  years, 
followed  by  both  Yale  and  Harvard 
in  1847. 

By  date  of  first  graduates,  the  En- 
gineering Department  of  the  Univer- 
sity of  Michigan  stands  sixth  in  this 
country. 

For  fifteen  years  or  more,  succeed- 
ing 1837,  engineering  seems  to  have 
received  little  attention  at  the  hands 
of  the  authorities.  There  seems  to  be, 
however,  a  recrudescence  in  the  early 
fifties,  and  in  1853,  Alexander  Win- 
chell  was  appointed  Professor  of  Phy- 
sics and  Civil  Engineering.  In  1855 
he  was  succeeded  by  Professor  Will- 
iam G.  Peck  in  the  same  chair,  who 
left  after  two  years  of  service,  to  ac- 
cept a  position  in  Columbia  Univer- 
sity. In  1857  DeVolson  Wood  be- 
came Assistant  Professor  of  Civil  En- 
gineering. In  1859,  Wood  was  made 
Professor  of  Physics  and  Civil  Engi- 
neering, with  the  munificent  salary  of 
$1,000  per  annum.  These  two  depart- 
ments of  learning  seem  to  have  been 
regarded  as  intimately  related  fifty 
years  ago,  as  indeed  they  are  now. 
In  i860, — when  the  first  class  consist- 
ing of  two  men  was  graduated, — De- 
Volson Wood  became  Professor  of 
Civil  Engineering,  and  from  that  time 
the  progress  and  development  of  the 
Engineering  Department  has  been  most 
gratifying.  It  would  be  a  pleasant 
task  here  to  pay  a  tribute  to  the  sturdy, 
and  at  the  same  time,  genial  character 
of  Professor  Wood,  to  his  powerful 
intellect,  and  his  singularly  virile  in- 
fluence on  his  students,  but  the  limits 
of  this  article,  permit  reference  only, 
to  a  few  of  his  strong  characteristics, 
and  one  of  his  many  writings,  his 
great,  and  now  classic,  work  on  Ther- 
mo Dynamics.  In  1872  he  resigned 
to  accept  a  chair  in  Stevens  Institute, 
where  he  died  about  ten  years  ago. 
It  may  not  be  known  even  to  the  older

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[February 


gnduates  that  Professor  Wood  lies 
buried  in  Ann  Arbor. 

The  departure  of  Professor  Wood 
marks  what  we  may  call  the  end  of 
the  old  regime.  Up  to  this  point  in  its 
evolution  the  teaching  staff  of  the  En- 
gineering Department  consisted  prac- 
tically of  one  man.  He  had,  to  be 
sure,  from  time  to  time,  an  assistant 
or  instructor  to  relieve  him  of  some 
of  the  drudgery  of  his  department. 
And  it  may  be  noted  in  passing  that 
among  such  assistants  were  for  in- 
stance: G.  Y.  Wisner,  in  1865, — ^P* 
parently  his  senior  year — who  received 
the  splendid  remuneration  of  $175  for 
his  labors;  S.  W.  Robinson,  in  1866, 
an  assistant  at  $600;  who  resigned 
March,  1870,  and  J.  B.  Davis  was  ap- 
pointed for  the  rest  of  the  year ;  C.  D. 
Lawton,  who  in  later  years  rendered 
long  and  valued  service  to  the  Uni- 
versity as  a  Regent,  was  made  Assist- 
ant Professor  of  Civil  Engineering, 
June  27,  1870,  for  one  year,  and  later 
J.  Burkitt  Webb  aided  in  instruction. 
C  S.  Denison,  C.E.,  was,  through  the 
suggestion  of  the  new  President,  Dr. 
Angell,  called  to  the  instructorship  of 
engineering  and  drawing,  early  in  the 
spring  of  1872. 

The  administration  of  Professor 
DcVolson  Wood  bears  testimony  to 
his  remarkable  energy,  and  adminis- 
trative ability.  He  accomplished 
much,  and  as  is  evident  from  the  rec- 
ords of  the  Board  of  Regents  he  had 
to  contend  with  many  of  the  charac- 
teristic difficulties  which  call  for  both 
tact  and  force  today. 

A  brief  retrospect  of  this  period' 
shows  some  interesting  situations.  For 
instance,  on  several  occasions  the  mod- 
est sum  of  $50  was  appropriated  for 
''means  of  illustration  for  the  Depart- 
ment of  Engineering."  In  March, 
1868,  he  explains  that  his  classes  in 
geometrical  drawing  were  not  prop- 
erly accommodated,  fifty-two  working 
where  only  thirty  should.  A  rather 
remarkable  recommendation  was  made 
by  him  in  1866  to  the  effect  that  an 


additional  story  be  built  to  one  of  the 
residences  on  the  north  side  of  the 
Campus  and  the  building  be  appro- 
priated for  the  Civil  Engineering  De- 
partment. This  is  exactly  what  was 
done  nearly  thirty  years  later,  with 
one  of  the  old  residences  on  the  south 
side  of  the  Campus,  which  is  still  in 
use  by  the  Engineering  Department 
During  this  period  there  was  estab- 
lished a  chair  of  Military  Engineer- 
ing, in  1861,  and  the  President 
was  authorized  to  take  steps  to 
''procure  an  incumbent,"  and  in  De- 
cember of  this  year  the  Executive 
Committee  was  "directed  and  author- 
ized" to  employ  Professor  Wood  in 
the  new  department,  and  thus  in  the 
spring  of  1862,  Professor  Wood  de- 
livered the  course  of  lectures  on  Mili- 
tary Engineering.  This  position  of 
Military  Engineer  seemed  in  those 
warlike  times  to  have  attracted  much 
attention,  and  a  memorial  signed  by 
many  citizens  from  various  parts  of 
the  State  was  presented  at  the  June 
meeting  of  the  Regents,  requesting  the 
appointment  of  Col.  O.  B.  Wilcox  as 
Professor  of  Military  Engineering. 

A  School  of  Mines  was  also  estab- 
lished March  28,  1865,  with  a  course 
of  study  leading  to  the  degree  of  Min- 
ing Engineer,  which  degree  was  first 
given  in  1867,  ^"d  often  thereafter. 
Furthermore,  on  March  22,  1868,  by 
authority  of  the  Regents  a  course  in 
Mechanical  Engineering  was  estab- 
lished by  Professors  Wood  and  Rob- 
inson, leading  to  the  degree  of 
Mechanical  Engineer.  This  degree, 
however,  was  abolished  in  June,  1870, 
by  the  Board.  In  March  of  1872  Pro- 
fessor Wood  prepared  and  presented 
to  the  Board  of  Regents  a  somewhat 
extended  and  detailed  plan  for  the  es- 
tablishment of  a  School  of  Engineer- 
ing and  Technology  as  a  fourth  de- 
partment of  the  University,  thus  fore- 
shadowing the  action  taken  thirty- 
three  years  later  when  Engineering 
was  made  into  a  separate  D^artment 
of  the  University.

THE  ENGINEERING  DEPARTMENT 


193 


Professor  Wood's  resignation,  dated 
Stevens  Institute  of  Technotogy,  Sept. 
17,  1872,  was  read  by  the  President  at 
the  meeting  of  the  Board,  Oct  7, 
1872,  and  at  this  meeting  Mr.  Charles 
Ezra  Greene  was  appointed  Professor 
of  Civil  Engineering.  At  the  previous 
June  meeting  of  the  Board  of  Regents, 
included  in  the  same  resolution,  were 
the  appointments  of  Charles  S.  Deni- 
son,  as  instructor  in  engineering  and 
drawing,  who  later  became  Professor 
of  Stereotomy,  Mechanism  and  Draw- 
ing, and  of  Joseph  B.  Davis  as  Assist- 
ant Professor  in  Civil  Engineering, 
who  in  1891  became  Professor  of  Geo- 
desy and  Surveying. 

Thus  it  came  about  that  in  the  au- 
tumn of  *72  the  teaching  staff  of  the 
Engineering  Department  for  the  first 
time  consisted  of  three  regularly 
equipped  graduate  engineers,  of  theo- 
retical training  and  practical  experi- 
ence— and  it  is  perhaps  not  unfitting 
here  to  say  that  in  this  year  these 
three  men,  Greene,  Davis  and  Deni- 
son — the  "triumvirate,"  to  use  the  des- 
ignation of  an  exhilarated  student  on 
a  certain  occasion — began  a  most  har- 
monious and  friendly  professorial  as- 
sociation extending  over  thirty  years 
and  broken  only  at  last  by  the  hand 
of  death. 

Professor  Greene  was  unable  to 
reach  Ann  Arbor  until  late  in  Novem- 
ber and  in  the  meantime  the  Depart- 
ment was  carried  on  by  the  other  two 
men. 

It  is  hardly  needful  here  to  recall 
what  is  so  fresh  in  the  minds  of  Fac- 
ulty and  students,  the  splendid  and 
devoted  services  of  Professor  Greene 
to  the  Engineering  Department,  his 
high  standing  among  his  colleagues 
of  the  entire  University,  and  his  wide 
reputation  as  a  professional  engineer 
and  author  and  die  admitted  superior- 
ity of  his  works  on  graphics  and  me- 
chanics, which  are  still  standard  in 
the  engineering  classes.  A  beautiful 
bronze  tablet  m  the  archway  of  the 
New  Engineering  Building  bears  sin- 


cere and  lasting  testimony  to  the  love 
and  regard  of  both  students  and  col- 
leagues for  Charles  Ezra  Greene. 

From  this  time  on,  expansion  and 
progress  was  so  rapid  in  the  depart- 
ment, that  the  limitations  put  upon 
this  article  admit  of  an  outline  treat- 
ment only.  It  will  be  remembered  that 
the  organization  of  the  University 
called  for  a  Professorship  of  Engi- 
neering and  Architecture.  Little  or 
no  attention  had  thus  far  been  paid  to 
Architecture,  until  in  1876,  when  W. 
L.  B.  Jenney,  a  practicing  architect 
of  Chicago,  a  graduate  of  the  Ecole 
Centrale  of  Paris,  and  a  man  of  large 
experience,  was  appointed  Professor 
of  Architecture.  Owing  to  failure  of 
appropriation,  the  Department  was 
discontinued  in  1880. 

Professor  Greene  was  quick  to 
g^asp  the  opportunity  offered  by  the 
United  States  Government,  when  de- 
tails of  Professors  of  "Steam  Engi- 
neering and  Iron  Ship-Building,"  were 
made  from  the  Navy  Department,  and 
in  1881,  Mortimer  E.  Cooley,  Assist- 
ant Engineer  U.  S.  N.,  was  so  de- 
tailed here,  under  the  Federal  law.  He 
was  at  once  made  Professor  of  Mech- 
anical Engineering,  and  in  1885,  at 
the  request  of  the  Regents,  resigned 
his  commission  in  the  Navy,  and  has 
ever  since  been  chief  of  the  Mechani- 
cal Engineering  Department. 

The  Department  of  Electrical  En- 
gineering came  into  being  in  1889, 
under  the  direct  care  of  Henry  S.  Car- 
hart,  the  Professor  of  Physics,  with 
George  W.  Patterson  as  instructor  in 
electrical  engineering.  In  May,  1905, 
George  W.  Patterson  became  the  first 
Professor  of  Electrical  Engineering. 

The  Department  of  Naval  Archi- 
tecture and  Marine  Engineering  was 
created  in  1900  and  Herbert  C.  Sad- 
ler, ScD.,  was  appointed  to  take 
charge  of  the  new  department,  which 
from  its  inception  has  proved  its  claim 
to  a  wide  public  interest  and  useful- 
ness.   Professor  Sadler,  being  a  grad-

[February 


uate  of  the  University  of  Glasgow  and 
having  had  a  long  and  remarkable 
training  in  his  profession,  was  singu- 
larly well  fitted  to  undertake  the  up- 
building of  this  department. 

In  1901  the  first  degree  was  con- 
ferred in  the  new  Department  of 
Chemical  Engineering,  and  in  1902, 
E.  D.  Campbell,  B.S.,  was  made  Pro- 
fessor of  Chemical  Engineering  and 
Analytical  Chemistry. 

This  list  of  new  departments  is  but 
an  index  of  the  growth  and  expansion 
taking  place  and  form  under  the  wise 
administration  of  Professor  Greene. 
Engineering  instruction  entered  upon 
a  new  era  in  the  University  of  Mich- 
igan when  in  1895  the  Regents  con- 
ferred upon  the  department  an  inde- 
pendent existence,  and  which  now  be- 
came a  separate  school.  Professor 
Charles  E.  Greene  was,  with  the  unan- 
imous approval  and  without  hesitation, 
made  the  first  Dean  of  the  Engineer- 
ing Department.  The  rapid  increase 
of  students  pointed  to  the  absolute 
necessity  of  more  commodious  head- 
quarters than  were  offered  by  the  re- 
modeled old  residence,  which  was  at 
this  time  the  home  of  the  Engineering 
Department,  and  it  is  a  pleasure  to  re- 
cord that  on  the  9th  of  October,  1902, 
was  laid  by  Regent  Fletcher  the  cor- 
ner stone  of  the  new  building  in  the 
presence  of  an  interested  group  of 
Faculty,  Regents,  and  others.  In 
this  substantial  building,  whose  satis- 
fying architectural  features  are  due  to 
Albert  Kahn,  of  Detroit,  and  the  satis- 
factory completion  of  which  is  a  mon- 
ument to  the  foresight,  energy,  and 
persevering  labors  of  Mortimer  E. 
Cooley,  some  few  classes  were  en- 
abled to  find  accommodation  in  the 
spring  of  1904.  But  on  Oct.  16,  1903, 
the  entire  University  community  and 
the  city  of  Ann  Arbor  were  shocked 
and  sorrow-stricken  by  the  sudden 
death  of  Professor  Greene,  who  with 
his  remarkable  powers  and  attain- 
ments, strength,  dignity,  and  delight- 
ful personality,  had  hem  the  dominat- 


ing factor  in  the  Department  for  over 
thirty  years.  In  this  emergency,  his 
son,  Albert  E.  Greene,  class  of  '96, 
was  appointed  Assistant  Professor  of 
Civil  Engineering,  taking  up  the  work 
of  his  father  with  marked  success. 

We  now  enter  upon  the  present  per- 
iod in  the  development  of  the  Depart- 
ment. The  loss  of  Professor  Greene 
of  necessity  involved  readjustment 
The  Department  was  just  taking  pos- 
session of  the  splendid  new  building, 
with  its  large  equipment  of  hydraulic 
and  other  laboratories,  unique  naval 
tank,  and  multiplied  appliances  for  in- 
struction and  research.  A  vigorous 
policy  of  expansion  and  advance  had 
been  manifesting  itself  for  some  years, 
and  in  this  contingency,  with  much 
reluctance.  Professor  M.  E.  Cooley 
was  induced  to  accept  the  position  of 
Dean,  but  not  until  he  was  granted 
the  aid  and  counsel  of  Professor  Jo- 
seph B.  Davis,  as  Associate  Dean.  In 
1904,  Gardner  S.  Williams,  class  of 
'89,  a  distinguished  graduate  of  the 
department,  was  call^  from  Cornell 
to  the  Chair  of  Civil,  Hydraulic,  and 
Sanitary  Engineering,  he  being  the 
first  graduate  of  Michigan  to  hold  a 
chair  of  Civil  Engineering  in  the  de- 
partment. In  the  recent  reordering  of 
the  teaching  staff.  Professor  John  R. 
Allen  has  taken  charge  of  that  De- 
partment, as  Professor  of  Mechanical 
Engineering.  Professor  Alexander 
Ziwet,  C.E.,  has  the  mathematics  of 
the  Department  under  his  entire  con- 
trol. Architecture  has  been  revived 
with  Professor  Emil  Lorch  as  head 
of  that  Department. 

The  assignment  of  space  by  the 
Editor  of  The  Alumnus  for  this 
"short  history"  has  been  exhausted 
twice  over,  and  it  is  therefore  impossi- 
ble, and  indeed  unnecessary,  to  expa- 
tiate upon  the  present  state  and  con- 
dition of  the  Engineering  Department 
as  a  whole.  Attention  can  only  be 
called  to  the  contrast  of  forty-eight 
years  ago,  with  one  Professor  and  two 
graduates,  to  the  teaching  staff  of  over

seventy  men,  and  a  roll  of  over  thir- 
teen hundred  students  now. 

As  a  check,  however,  to  mere  pro- 
vincialism, and  an  inflated  pride,  it  is 
well  to  note  that  with  all  our  growth, 
the  Engineering  Department  is  not  yet 
the  largest  Engineering  School  in  the 
country,  although  nearly  so.  Still 
there  is  every  reason  for  indulging  the 
confident  hope,  that  under  the  present 
able  leadership,  and  with  continued 
liberal  treatment  at  the  hands  of  the 
Regents,  the  Enginering  Department 
may  before  very  long  hold  an  abso- 
lutely preeminent  position  as  a  school 
of  higher  technical  education  in  the 
western  world. 

The  following  quotation  from  one 
of  the  most  influential  technical  jour- 
nals in  this  country  seems  a  fitting 
close  to  this  hasty  sketch : 


"The  State  of  Michigan  deserves 
great  honor  for  everything  connected 
with  that  University,  but  perhaps  for 
nothing  more  than  for  having  started 
the  first  Engineering  School  in  the 
country,  which  was  not  the  product 
of  private  beneficence,  and  which  was 
also  recognized  from  the  first  on  a 
footing  of  entire  equality  with  the 
Classical  Department  of  the  Univer- 
sity. And  in  such  a  manner  that  by 
mere  expansion  and  growth,  without 
further  radical  change,  it  could  and 
did  expand  into  an  engineering  school 
of  the  first  class.  Despite  the  com- 
parative rawness  and  poverty  of  the 
State,  prior  to  i860,  Michigan  may  be 
said  to  have  founded,  in  order  of  time,

SOME  GRADUATES  OF  THE  ENGINEERING 
DEPARTMENT  OF  THE  UNIVERSITY* 


Graduates  of  the  engineering  school 
of  the  University  of  Michigan  have 
been  prominent  in  almost  all  the  great 
engineering  enterprises  in  this  country 
during  the  last  forty  years,  and  Mich- 
igan has  played  a  prominent  part  in 
the  vast  improvements  which  have 
been  carried  out  or  planned  for  our 
g^eat  internal  waterways,  the  Missis- 
sippi, Missouri  and  the  Great  Lakes, 
as  well  as  the  Panama  Canal. 

While  many  of  these  enterprises 
were  of  the  nature  of  internal  im-

cooperation  of  several  members  of  the 
Engineering  Faculty  of  the  University. 
Lack  of  space,  and  in  some  cases  definite 
information,  has  made  it  necessarily  very 
incomplete;  many  names  which  deserve 
especial  mention  are  merely  touched  upon 
or  overlooked  entirely.  The  graduates  of 
the  last  fifteen  years  also  have  no  repre- 
sentatives, although  there  are  many  who 
have  been  very  successful.— £<ftVor. 


provements,  Michigan  men  have  also 
been  especially  prominent  in  astro- 
nomical work  at  the  Lick  Observa- 
tory, on  the  United  States  Lake  Sur- 
vey, and  in  the  development  of  that 
chapter  in  jurisprudence  which  relates 
to  irrigation.  They  have  also  been 
prominent  in  the  business,  manufac- 
turing and  transportation  world. 

J.  L.  Gillespie,  of  the  class  of  1872, 
a  son  of  Bishop  Gillespie,  was  in  lo- 
cal charge  of  the  construction  of  the 
Cyclopean  masonry  under  the  falls  of 
St.  Anthony  to  preserve  the  water 
power  at  Minneapolis,  while  Corne- 
lius Donovan,  of  the  same  class,  has 
been  engaged  for  thirty  years  at  the 
mouth  of  the  Mississippi  during  the 
period  of  construction  of  the  jetties, 
the  construction  of  the  regulation 
works  at  the  head  of  the  passes,  and 
the  present  immense  improvements 
that  are  being  carried  out  to  open  this 
river  to  the  sea  as  a  line  of  commerce.

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[February 


Both  of  these  men  were  Ann  Arbor 
bom,  bred  and  educated.  Between  their 
stations  at  the  headwaters  and  the 
mouth  of  this  river,  and  on  the  Mis- 
souri as  well,  many  Michigan  engin- 
eers have  been  employed  in  carrj'ing 
out  improvements  of  all  kinds.  A 
history  of  these  rivers  leaving  out  the 
names  of  Michigan  graduates  would 
be  impracticable. 

At  Sault  Ste.  Marie  have  been  con- 
structed some  of  the  most  remarka- 
ble ship  canal  locks  in  the  world,  with 
their  approaches  and  the  machinery 
for  operating  the  locks.  These  works 
would  hardly  have  been  constructed 
on  the  present  scale  except  for  the 
services  of  these  Michigan  men  which 
have  extended  over  a  period  of  thirty 
years.  Among  them  may  be  men- 
tioned E.  S.  Wheeler,  '67,  Alfred  No- 
ble, '70,  Joseph  Ripley,  '76,  and  L. 
C.  Sabin,  90.  Nor  do  these  names 
exhaust  the  list.  The  same  general 
statement  might  apply  to  other  im- 
provements in  the  lines  of  navigation 
between  Buffalo  and  Duluth,  and  Buf- 
falo and  Chicago. 

In  seeking  a  water  route  for  ves- 
sels connecting  the  Lakes  with  the  At- 
lantic Ocean,  Michigan  graduates 
have  taken  a  prominent  and  an  effi- 
cient part.  Two  of  the  three  mem- 
bers of  the  Commission  raised  by  the 
United  States  Government  to  take 
charge  of  this  subject,  with  estimates 
of  its  cost,  were  graduates  in  Civil 
Engineering  of  the  University.  The 
magnitude  of  this  work  for  which  the 
estimated  cost  was  $300,000,000,  can 
hardly  be  realized.  What  the  effect 
of  such  a  work  would  have  been  upon 
the  history  of  the  country,  of  course, 
is  only  conjectural,  but  there  can  be 
no  doubt  that  it  would  have  added 
vastly  to  the  means  of  interior  com- 
munication for  commercial  purposes. 
It  is  possible  that  it  may  yet  be  con- 
structed. A  number  of  routes  were 
examined  and  surveyed  and  estimates 
of  construction  prepared.  Elaborate 
studies  and  designs  in  the  construction 


of  locks  were  undertaken,  which  led  to 
investigations  of  methods  for  compar- 
ison of  capacity,  cost,  and  mainten- 
ance of  different  canal  locks,  of  a  per- 
fection perhaps  heretofore  unattained. 
Not  only  were  these  graduates  mem- 
bers of  the  Commission,  but  other 
Michigan  men  were  employed  in  var- 
ious capacities  in  carrying  out  the 
work.  The  final  report  of  this  Com- 
mission is  a  contribution  to  engineer- 
ing literature  of  which  the  value  can 
hardly  be  overestimated. 

A  great  deal  of  effective  work  has 
also  been  accomplished  by  these  men, 
on  the  Lake  Levels  Commission,  in 
investigating  the  conditions  on  the 
Great  Lakes,  and  in  their  vicinity, 
with  a  view  of  maintaining  the  water 
level  at  a  proper  elevation  to  facili- 
tate navigation.  Considering  the 
loads  they  carry,  the  ships  constructed 
for  the  traffic  on  the  Great  Lakes  have 
a  remarkably  small  draught,  yet  it 
would  be  an  immense  advantage  to 
commerce  if  their  capacity  might  be 
further  increased  by  deepening  water 
in  the  different  harbors  and  channels. 

Michigan  men  have  also  been  prom- 
inently connected  with  the  immense 
works  which  are  projected  by  the  Re- 
clamation and  Irrigation  Services  of 
the  United  States  Government.  Oth- 
ers have  been  concerned  in  some  of 
the  most  remarkable  railroad  construc- 
tions in  the  world,  and  still  others,  in 
addition  to  those  mentioned  above, 
have  held  responsible  positions  in  con- 
nection with  river  and  harbor  im- 
provements of  the  utmost  importance. 
And  finally,  as  teachers,  inventors, 
members  of  various  other  professions, 
and  engineers  in  charge  of  construc- 
tion, Michigan  engineers  have  occu- 
pied successfully  many  positions  of 
distinction. 

A  few  notes  and  memoranda  may 
be  made  in  regard  to  individuals. 

Beginning  with  the  Class  of  '62, 
the  third  class  to  graduate,  we  find 
the  name  of  Orlando  B.  Wheeler,  who 
died  at  St.  Louis,  Mo.,  in  1896.    He

was  responsible  for  the  magnificent 
line  of  astronomical  work,  extending 
from  Ogdensburg,  N.  Y.,  to  Chicago 
and  Duluth,  upon  which  is  based  the 
survey  of  the  Northern  and  North- 
western Lakes,  commonly  known  as 
the  Great  Lakes  Survey.  In  '63  ap- 
pears the  name  of  Stillman  W.  Rob- 
inson, an  engineer  and  inventor,  and 
a  teacher  of  distinction,  and  a  mem- 
ber of  the  American  Association  for 
the  Advancement  of  Science,  and  the 
National  Societies  of  Civil  Engineers 
and  Mechanical  Engineers.  George 
Y.  Wisner,  who  died  only  last  year 
in  July,  one  of  the  most  distinguished 
engineers  of  our  country,  was  grad- 
uated in  '65.  He  was  one  of  the  two 
members  of  the  United  States  Board 
of  Engineers  on  Deep  Waterways, 
above  referred  to,  from  the  beginning 
of  its  labors  in  1897  to  their  comple- 
tion in  1900.  He  was  an  arbitrator 
of  the  water  rights  of  London,  Ont., 
member  of  the  Board  of  Engineers 
for  the  water  supply  of  St.  Louis,  Mo. 
He  was  consulting  engineer  for  the 
Montreal,  Ottawa,  and  Georgian  Bay 
Canal  Company,  where  the  estimated 
cost  of  works  was  $85,000,000.  He 
was  also  consulting  engineer  of  the 
United  States  Reclamation  Service, 
where  the  work  under  contract  was 
estimated  to  be  between  $25,000,000 
and  $30,000,000,  and  involved  the 
construction  of  the  highest  dam  and 
largest  artificial  lake  in  the  world,  and 
a  member  at  the  time  of  his  death  of 
the  International  Water  Ways  Com- 
mission. In  the  Class  of  '67  appears 
the  name  of  George  H,  Benzenberg, 
just  now  become  past  president  of  the 
American  Society  of  Civil  Engineers, 
whose  home  is  in  Milwaukee,  Wis. 
It  would  be  difficult  to  find  an  engin- 
eer who  has  been  more  extensively 
consulted  on  water  works  for  the 
larger  cities,  such  as  Cincinnati,  Kan- 
sas City,  Cleveland,  and  Omaha,  and 
who  has  been  engaged  on  many  com- 
missions involving  Civil  Engineering 
woiks  of  the  first  class.    Ebenezer  S. 


Wheeler,  of  Detroit,  one  of  the  dis- 
tinguished Civilian  Engineers  con- 
nected with  the  staff  of  the  United 
States  Army,  is  also  a  member  of  the 
same  class.  His  services  to  his  coun- 
try have  been  of  the  greatest  value. 
He  was  engaged  upon  the  United 
States  Lake  Survey ;  on  various  river 
and  harbor  improvements;  and  be- 
came the  custodian  of  the  St.  Mary's 
Ship  Canal  and  appurtenances;  he 
was  chief  engineer  of  the  Nicaragua 
Canal  Commission;  and  at  the  pres- 
ent time  is  a  United  States  Assistant 
Engineer  associated  with  the  officer 
who  has  in  charge  the  river  and  har- 
bor improvements  for  the  lake  dis- 
trict. 

As  examples  of  men  who  have  en- 
tered other  fields  of  endeavor  and 
made  a  success  in  them,  may  be  men- 
tioned William  Donovan,  '65,  who  is 
Deputy  State  Banking  Commissioner 
of  Michigan  at  the  present  time ;  Hon. 
Arthur  Hill,  '65,  of  Saginaw,  Regent 
of  the  University,  Lowell  A.  Good- 
man, '67,  is  president  of  the  American 
Pomological  Society;  Amos  E.  Dol- 
bear,  '67,  is  one  of  the  most  notable 
teachers  in  this  country,  as  well  as 
one  of  the  greatest  inventors  in  the 
field  of  electricity,  and  at  present  a 
Professor  of  Physics  and  Astronomy 
in  Tufts  College,  Mass.  Alexander 
Thompson,  '67,  of  Lake  Charles,  La., 
is  the  executive  officer  of  one  of  the 
largest,  if  not  the  largest,  of  real  es- 
tate projects  in  this  country,  embrac- 
ing a  region  fronting  one  hundred 
and  twenty  miles  on  the  Gulf  of  Mex- 
ico and  sixty  miles  deep.  Mr.  Thomp- 
son when  a  student  in  the  University 
found  it  necessary  to  work  as  a  me- 
chanic making  triangles  and  tee- 
squares  for  those  who  took  courses 
in  drawing,  in  order  to  pay  his  ex- 
penses at  the  University.  Numbers 
of  others,  whose  names  have  been  re- 
ferred to  above,  obtained  the  means  to 
pay  their  expenses,  while  getting  a 
college  education,  by  their  own  labors.

THE  NMCHIGAN  ALUMhfUS 


[February 


those  who  have  worked  outside  of 
strictly  engineering  callings,  we  may 
mention  the  name  of  Brutus  J.  Clay, 
'68,  appointed  by  President  Roosevelt 
as  American  Minister  to  Switzerland ; 
and  Henry  R.  Durkee,  '68,  who  en- 
tered commercial  life,  and  is  now  en- 
gaged in  the  development  of  mining 
interests  and  in  the  marketing  of  pig 
iron.  To  these  may  be  added  the 
names  of  William  H.  Boardman,  '69, 
editor  of  the  Railroad  Gazette  of  New 
Yoric,  and  the  Railway  Gazette  of 
London,  England,  and  president  of 
the  Railroad  Gazette  Publication  Com- 
pany, and  Albert  A.  Robinson,  '69, 
member  of  many  scientific  and  learned 
societies,  and  until  November,  1906, 
president  of  the  Mexican  Central 
Railway.  At  one  time,  while  Second 
Vice-President  and  General  Manager 
of  the  Atchison,  Topeka  &  Santa  Fe 
Railway,  he  acted  as  its  Chief  En- 
gineer. While  he  was  constructing 
3ie  line  from  Kansas  City  to  Chicago, 
each  working  day  for  eighteen  months 
saw  upwards  of  three  and  a  half  miles 
of  railroad  finished,  besides  the  con- 
struction of  the  bridges  at  the  cross- 
ings of  the  large  rivers  on  the  line. 

Professor  Joseph  B.  Davis,  '68,  has 
been  so  intimately  connected  with  the 
engineering  life  of  the  University  and 
of  the  State  of  Michigan,  that  little 
need  be  said  of  him  in  this  place. 
Following  his  graduation  in  Civil  En- 
gineering under  Professor  DeVolson 
Wood,  his  first  employment  was  in 
railroad  engineering.  Later  he  taught 
in  Swarthmore  for  one  year,  after 
which  he  returned  to  the  University 
of  Michigan  in  1872  as  Assistant  Pro- 
fessor of  Engineering.  In  1891  he 
was  made  Professor  of  Geodesy  and 
Surveying,  which  position  he  still 
holds.  After  Professor  Greene's  death 
in  1903,  Professor  Davis  reluctantly 
consented  to  serve  as  Associate  Dean 
of  the  Department  of  Engineering,  a 
position  for  which  he  was  peculiarly 
well  fitted,  owing  to  his  long  and  va- 
ried   experience    with    student    life. 


Professor  Davis  is  a  member  of  the 
American  Society  of  Civil  Engineers 
and  a  member  and  past  President  of 
the  Michigan  Engineering  Society. 
Probably  no  man  connected  with  the 
Department  of  Engineering  is  better 
known  than  Professor  Davis,  and  no 
one  on  the  Faculty  better  deserves 
the  warm  friendship  felt  for  him  by 
those  who  have  sat  under  him  as  a 
teacher. 

Charles  F.  Brush,  '69,  will  be  quick- 
ly identified  by  the  layman  as  the  in- 
ventor of  electric  arc  lighting,  and 
of  the  Brush  electric  light  apparatus. 
The  degrees  which  he  has  received 
from  Michigan  as  well  as  from  other 
institutions  of  learning  testify  to  the 
varied  character  of  his  attainments 
and  labors,  to  which  has  been  added 
the  Cross  of  the  Legion  of  Honor, 
from  the  French  government,  and  the 
Rumford  medals  for  the  development 
of  electric  arc  lighting.  Mr.  Brush 
is  a  life  member  of  the  British  Asso- 
ciation and  he  is  a  member  of  the 
American  Society,  of  Mechanical  En- 
gineers, Electrical  Engineers,  and 
Chemical  Society.  He  is  also  a  fellow 
of  the  American  Association  for  the 
Advancement  of  Science.  His  home 
is  in  Cleveland,  Ohio.  In  the  same 
class  with  Mr.  Brush  and  Mr.  Robin- 
son again,  we  find  the  name  of  Ben- 
ezette  Williams,  long  a  prominent  en- 
gineer in  the  City  of  Chicago,  and 
chief  engineer  of  the  sanitary  district 
of  Chicago  in  1892. 

In  the  next  class,  '70,  appears  the 
name  of  Clarence  M.  Boss,  who  re- 
ceived a  degree  in  mining.  His  ex- 
perience in  the  practice  of  his  profes- 
sion has  been  unusually  varied,  es- 
pecially in  the  copper  and  iron  regions 
of  the  North.  At  the  present  time  he 
holds  a  sort  of  general  commission 
from  one  of  the  great  iron  mining 
companies  of  the  North.  In  the  same 
class  are  other  distinguished  names, 
among  whom  we  find  Harlow  P.  Da- 
vock,  now  a  lecturer  cmi  bankruptcy  in 
the  Law  Department,  University  of

Michigan ;  Charles  P.  Gilbert,  who  at 
the  time  of  his  retirement  from  busi- 
ness in  1901  was  General  Manager  of 
the  Standard  Electric  Company  in 
California;  Charles  J.  Kintner,  a  so- 
licitor in  patents  and  electrical  ex- 
pert in  New  York,  and  so  through  the 
roll  of  this  class  till  we  come  to  Al- 
fred Noble,  one  of  the  most  distin- 
guished of  living  engineers.  Mr.  No- 
ble was  bom  near  Northville,  Mich., 
and  was  reared  and  educated  within 
the  state  of  Michigan.  Beginning 
with  his  work  in  the  department  of 
the  lakes,  and  more  especially  at  the 
St.  Mary's  Falls  ship  canal  at  Sault 
Ste.  Marie,  Mich.,  he  has  exhibited 
such  unusual  gifts  and  performed  such 
extraordinary  labors  as  to  furnish  a 
most  substantial  foundation  for  his 
reputation  amongst  the  members  of 
the  profession  of  engineering  and  the 
people  at  large.  He  was  resident  en- 
gineer on  the  St  Mary's  Falls  Canal 
from  the  year  of  his  graduation  in 
1870  till  1882.  During  this  time  the 
lode  now  known  as  the  Weitzel  Lock 
was  constructed.  Since  leaving  the 
government  service,  he  has  been  en- 
gaged in  the  construction  and  erection 
of  some  of  the  remarkable  bridges  of 
this  country,  as  the  Shreveport  Bridge, 
the  Washington  Bridge,  the  Cairo 
Bridge,  the  Memphis  Bridge,  and  the 
Leavenworth  Bridge,  all  of  which 
rank  among  the  large  and  remarkable 
bridges  of  the  world.  Mr.  Noble's 
gifts,  however,  especially  exhibit 
Siemselves  in  his  relations  with  the 
members  of  different  commissions  and 
in  the  field  of  consulting  engineer.  At 
the  present  time  he  is  a  member  of 
the  Board  of  Consulting  Engineers 
for  the  Isthmian  Canal,  and  has  for- 
merly been  connected  with  the  Nica- 
ragua Canal  Commission,  the  Isthmian 
Cimal  Commission,  and  the  Deep 
Water  Ways  Commission,  and  is  also 
a  past  president  of  the  American  So- 
ciety of  Civil  Engineers.  Mr.  Noble's 
{dace  in  the  engineering  profession  is 
high.    To  the  soundness  of  hb  judg- 


ment as  an  engineer  and  his  appre- 
ciation of  and  ability  to  grasp  the 
facts,  principles,  and  conditions  of  any 
subject  before  him,  is  added  an  ex- 
traordinary capacity  for  work,  the 
ability  to  do  things  rapidly,  accurately, 
and  in  a  large  way.  At  the  present 
time  he  is  the  Chief  Engineer  in 
charge  of  the  Pennsylvania  Railroad 
improvements,  including  tunnels,  sub- 
ways, depots  and  yards  in  New  York 
City. 

Henry  C.  Ripley  of  Rio  de  Janeiro, 
South  America,  is  also  a  member  of 
the  same  class.  For  twenty  years 
after  graduation  he  was  a  member  of 
the  United  States  Engineer  Corps  en- 
gaged in  the  improvement  of  the  Great 
Lakes  and  the  Gulf  of  Mexico.  He 
was  one  of  the  engineers  who  made 
the  explorations  and  surveys  in  1900 
on  the  Isthmus  of  Darien  for  the 
Isthmian  Canal  Commission,  and  was 
also  awarded  a  silver  medal  at  the 
Paris  Exposition  in  1900  for  his  meth- 
od in  improving  river  and  harbor  en- 
trances. He  was  a  member  of  the 
board  of  three  men,  which  prepared 
the  plans  for  the  protection  of  the 
City  of  Galveston  from  future  inun- 
dations. At  present  he  is  the  Chief 
Engineer  of  the  port  works  at  Para, 
Brazil. 

Henry  G.  Prout,  '71,  now  one  of 
the  distinguished  engineers  of  this 
country,  became  Major  of  Engineers 
and  Colonel  of  Staff  of  the  Egyptian 
Army  shortly  after  his  g^duation. 
Later,  in  1874,  he  was  Governor  of 
the  Equatorial  Provinces  of  Egypt,  a 
position  which  he  held  for  four  years. 
He  then  became  editor-in-chief  of  the 
Railroad  Gazette,  and  now  is  first 
Vice-President  and  Manager  of  the 
Union  Switch  and  Signal  Company. 

Cornelius  Donovan,  menticmed  in 
the  beginning  of  these  notes,  was  a 
member  of  the  class  of  '72.  Since 
1876  his  duties  have  been  at  the  mouth 
of  the  Mississippi  river,  either  as  su- 
pervising inspector,  or  engineer  in 
charge  of  the  viorks  at  the  South  Pass

and  Southwest  Pass,  and  elsewhere, 
building  jetties  and  opening  the  Mis- 
sissippi to  the  sea  as  a  line  of  com- 
merce. His  residence  there  of  thirty- 
one  years  has  made  him  thoroughly 
familiar  with  the  situation,  and  the  re- 
quirements for  the  improvement  of  the 
river,  one  of  the  largest  and  most 
important  undertakings  of  this  char- 
acter in  the  world.  The  improvement 
of  the  Southwest  Pass  is  just  about 
completed,  giving  a  thirty-five  foot 
channel,  with  a  bottom  width  of  five 
hundred  feet,  at  a  cost  of  $2,640485. 
The  jetty  on  one  side  of  the  channel 
is  18,000  feet  long,  and  on  the  other 
side  22,000  feet.  The  dredging  opera- 
tions extend  seven  miles. 

In  the  same  class  with  Mr.  Donovan 
was  John  H.  Flagg,  who  also  took 
a  degree  in  medicine  in  1874,  but  en- 
tered the  practice  of  engineering.  He 
passed  from  one  position  of  responsi- 
bility to  another,  and  in  1891  became 
the  chief  engineer  of  streets  and  sew- 
ers in  the  City  of  Chicago.  He  was 
consulting  engineer  for  the  Pike's 
Peak  tunnel  in  i896-'97,  and  was  chief 
engineer  for  the  water  tunnels  of  the 
City  of  Chicago  the  following  year. 
Since  1898  he  has  been  engaged  as 
consulting  engineer. 

Otto  J.  Klotz  was  graduated  in  the 
course  in  Civil  Engineering  in  the 
same  year  ('72),  and  was  given  the 
honorary  degree  of  LL.D.  by  the  Uni- 
versity of  Toronto  in  1904  for  his 
distinguished  services  as  an  astrono- 
mer. He  is  a  Fellow  of  the  Royal 
Astronomical  Society,  a  member  of 
the  American  Association  for  the  Ad- 
vancement of  Science,  an  honorary 
member  of  the  New  Zealand  Insti- 
tute, a  member  of  the  Washington 
Academy  of  Science,  and  of  the  Na- 
tional Geological  Society,  as  well  as 
of  the  Canadian  Institute.  He  fol- 
lowed the  profession  of  Civil  Engin- 
eering for  SIX  years  after  his  gradua- 
tion and  since  then  has  been  engaged 
in  the  field  of  astronomy  and  survey- 
ing, to  which  may  be  added  a  very 


considerable  experience  as  a  geologist. 
His  services  to  the  Canadian  govern- 
ment have  been  extraordinarily  fruit- 
ful and  useful.  He  was  engaged  on 
the  Alaska  boundary  survey  in  1893- 
'94,  and  is  the  astronomer  who  com- 
pleted the  first  astronomical  longitudi- 
nal girdle  around  the  world.  He  has 
given  much  attention  to  the  subject 
of  gravity,  the  study  of  magnetism, 
more  particularly  terrestrial  magne- 
tism, and  also  to  seismology.  That 
his  labors  have  been  appreciated  may 
readily  be  inferred  by  the  distinctions 
which  have  been  conferred  upon  him 
by  the  Canadian  government.  He  is 
now  Astronomer  for  the  Dominion 
government. 

Robert  Simpson  Woodward,  at  the 
present  time  the  President  of  the  Car- 
negie. Institution  of  Washington,  is 
also  a  member  of  '72.  Although  he 
is  a  graduate  in  Civil  Engineering, 
his  labors  have  been  in  other  fields, 
more  particularly  in  geodesy,  mathe- 
matics, and  applied  science,  rising 
from  one  position  to  another  until  he 
was  made  the  Dean  of  the  School  of 
Pure  Science  in  Columbia  University 
in  1895,  which  position  he  held  for 
ten  years  until  he  was  asked  to  become 
the  President  of  the  Carnegie  Institu- 
tion. The  Universities  of  Michigan, 
Wisconsin,  and  Pennsylvania,  also 
Columbia,  have  conferred  honorary 
Doctorates  upon  him.  Although  it 
would  seem  as  though  his  pursuits 
had  taken  him  a  long  ways  from  the 
line  of  technical  work  which  he  pur- 
sued in  the  University,  the  responsi- 
bilities and  distinctions  to  which  he 
has  attained  are  proof  of  his  qualifica- 
tions and  fitness  for  these  labors. 

Another  case  of  a  man  entering 
other  pursuits  besides  the  profession 
of  Civil  Engineering  for  which  his 
college  studies  prepared  him,  is  Pro- 
fessor Charles  L.  Doolittle,  '74,  now 
Director  of  the  Astronomical  Observa- 
tory at  the  University  of  Pennsyl- 
vania. Professor  Doolittle  is  connect- 
ed with  many  learned  societies,  and

was  a  member  of  the  United  States 
Northern  Boundary  Survey  thirty 
years  ago,  after  which  he  became  the 
Professor  of  Mathematics  at  Lehigh 
University.  From  Lehigh  he  went  to 
the  University  of  Pennsylvania  where 
he  has  remained  until  this  time. 

In  the  Class  of  '76  we  find  the  name 
of  Joseph  Ripley,  who  not  long  since 
resigned  his  position  as  Assistant 
Chief  Engineer  of  the  Panama  Canal. 
Mr.  Ripley's  many  friends  would  have 
been  glad  to  have  seen  him  made  the 
Chief  Engineer  of  the  Panama  Canal, 
after  the  resignation  of  Chief  Engi- 
neer Stevens,  but  by  this  time  Presi- 
dent Roosevelt  had  transferred  the  en- 
gineering of  this  work  to  the  Army. 
Mr.  Ripley,  who  for  eight  or  ten  years 
was  General  Superintendent  of  the 
St.  Mary's  Falls  Canal,  was  trans- 
ferred from  that  position  to  the  ser- 
vice of  the  Panama  Canal  Commission 
for  the  purpose  of  undertaking  the 
design  and  construction  of  the  locks 
and  their  accessories  for  the  Panama 
Canal.  Mr.  Stevens,  it  is  said,  de- 
dared  that  he  was  not  a  lock  engineer 
and  immediately  entrusted  this  entire 
matter  to  Mr.  Ripley's  care,  as  one 
of  the  very  few  men  to  whom  this 
matter  could  safely  be  entrusted.  The 
improvements  of  the  St.  Mary's 
River,  particularly  the  improvement 
of  the  West  Nebish;  the  explorations 
and  surveys  for  the  canals  and  water 
ways  connecting  Birmingham,  Ala- 
bama, with  the  Black  Warrior  River, 
and  thence  with  the  sea ;  the  improve- 
ments for  making  surveys  on  the  ice ; 
and  many  other  responsiblities  and 
useful  details  of  the  practice  of  the 
profession  of  Civil  Engineering  have 
contributed  to  establish  Mr.  Ripley's 
professional  reputation  in  the  most  se- 
cure manner.  He  was  one  of  the  con- 
sulting engineers  gathered  by  Presi- 
dent Roosevelt  from  all  over  the  world 
to  advise  him  with  respect  to  the  Pan- 
ama Canal.  This  Board,  between  Au- 
gust, 1005,  and  February,  1906, 
pioduoid  a  »09t  mmmAMt  report, 


covering  the  merits  of  the  various  pro- 
pnositions  that  were  raised  in  connec- 
tion with  that  work  at  that  time.  It 
may  never  be  known  but  it  may  be 
safely  presumed  that  Mr.  Noble  and 
Mr.  Ripley  were  as  much  concerned 
in  the  result  which  was  finally  arrived 
at  by  the  President  and  Congress  as 
any  men  on  that  Board. 

In  the  same  class  with  Mr.  Ripley 
was  John  M.  Schaeberle,  who  with 
William  W.  Campbell,  '86,  and  WU- 
liam  J.  Hussey,  '89,  were  among  the 
staff  of  men  who  have  made  the  Lidc 
Observatory,  California,  world  fa- 
mous. Mr.  Schaeberle  was  the  Act- 
ing Director  in  1897-98,  and  Mr. 
Cajnpbell  is  the  Director  of  this  Ob- 
servatory at  the  present.  Mr.  Hussey 
is  now  Professor  of  Astronomy  and 
Director  of  the  Detroit  Observatory 
in  the  University  of  Michigan.  All 
of  them  are  graduates  in  Civil  Engi- 
neering. Mr.  Schaeberle  distinguished 
himself  in  the  field  of  astronomy  as 
an  observer,  Mr.  Campbell  has  distin- 
guished himself  particularly  in  the 
field  of  physical  astronomy,  while 
Professor  Hussey's  labors  have  been 
more  from  the  mathematical  side.  All 
of  these  men  have  been  in  charge  of 
astronomical  expeditions  to  distant 
parts  of  the  world.  Indeed  Mr.  Camp- 
bell is  absent  on  such  duty  now.  The 
detailed  list  of  the  achievements  of 
these  men,  all  of  them  services  of  dis- 
tinction, is  so  long  that  the  recital  of 
them  might  become  tiresome. 

Horace  Greeley  Burt,  of  '72,  is  an- 
other example  of  an  engineering  grad- 
uate who  has  advanced  from  one  sta- 
tion of  responsibility  to  another  until 
for  ten  years  he  has  been  the  President 
of  the  Union  Pacific  Railroad.  Mr. 
Burt  was  a  successful  engineer  before 
he  entered  the  administrative  depart- 
ment of  the  Union  Pacific  Railway, 
of  which  he  is  now  executive  head. 

While  the  name  of  William  L.  De- 
ments, B.S.  '8a,  docs  not  appear 
among  the  list  of  graduates  in  engi- 
aeeriog,  it  «  ik&rt  Hmt  it  belongs.

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[February 


During  the  latter  part  of  his  course  in 
college  he  specialized  in  mechanical 
engineering.  Immediately  following 
graduation  he  entered  the  employ  of 
9ie  Industrial  Works  at  Bay  City,  of 
which  his  father  was  at  that  time  pres- 
ident, where  he  had  charge  of  the 
design  of  machinery  which  they  were 
putting  upon  the  market.  It  is  none 
too  much  to  say  that  the  very  success- 
ful business  which  the  Industrial 
Works,  of  which  for  many  years  he 
has  been  President,  has  developed  has 
been  largely  due  to  his  efforts.  He  has 
also  been  largely  instrumental  in  the 
upbuilding  of  Bay  City  since  its  de- 
cline following  the  disappearance  of 
the  lumber  from  that  region,  Benja- 
min Douglas,  '82,  upon  graduation, 
entered  the  employ  of  the  Detroit 
Bridge  and  Iron  Co.  as  assistant  en- 
gineer, which  position  he  held  for 
three  years.  He  then  joined  the  en- 
gineering staff  of  the  Michigan  Cen- 
tral Railroad  as  bridge  engineer,  hold- 
ing this  positon  until  1905,  when  he 
was  appointed  tunnel  engineer  for  the 
Detroit  River  Tunnel  Co.,  which  posi- 
tion he  now  holds.  Mr.  Douglas' 
work  a  few  years  ago  on  the  canti- 
lever bridge  over  the  Niagara  River 
will  long  be  remembered  by  engineers 
for  the  skill  displayed  in  the  strength- 
ening of  this  bridge,  to  provide  for 
heavier  rolling  stodc. 

The  mathematical  ability  of  Mary 
Hegeler  (Mrs.  Paul  Cams),  '82,  the 
first  woman  to  be  graduated  from 
the  University  in  the  Department  of 
Engineering,  inherited  from  her 
grandfather,  Julius  Wiesbach,  the  fa- 
mous German  mathepiatician,  was 
marked  during  her  college  career.  Not 
only  was  she  strong  in  theoretical 
work  but  she  excelled  also  in  its  prac- 
tical application.  She  studied  engi- 
neering in  order  that  she  might  be  of 
assistance  to  her  father  in  his  business, 
the  La  Salle  Zinc  Co.,  of  which  he 
was  at  that  time  President.  Mrs. 
Cams  is  now  the  president  of  the 
Matthlessen  and  Hegeler  Zinc  Co.,  of 


La  Salle,  succeeding  to  her  father's 
duties,  and  is  also  the  secretary  of  the 
Open  Court  Publishing  Co.,  of  Chi- 
cago, of  which  her  husband  is  the 
editor.  One  other  woman  has  won 
distinction  for  herself  and  University 
as  a  graduate  of  the  Engineering  De- 
partment. Marian  S.  Parker,  (Civil) 
'95>  was  a  strong  student  in  all  tech- 
niod  subjects,  especially  in  the 
strength  and  resistance  of  materials 
under  Dean  Greene.  Immediately 
upon  her  graduation,  she  entered  the 
offices  of  Purdy  and  Henderson,  arch- 
itects, N.  Y.,  where  she  has  since  ta- 
ken active  part  in  the  designing  of 
some  of  the  monumental  buildings  in 
New  York.  She  was  married  in  1907 
to  Albert  E.  Madgwick  and  now  lives 
at  Portland,  Ore. 

Frank  C.  Wagner,  '85,  was  one  of 
the  early  graduates  in  mechanical  en- 
gineering, although  also  a  graduate 
of  the  Literary  Department  Upon 
completion  of  his  engineering  course 
he  entered  the  employment  of  the 
Thomson-Houston  Electric  Co.,  of 
Lynn,  Mass.,  as  electrical  expert.  This 
service  extended  through  1889,  dur- 
ing which  time  he  was  the  representa- 
tive of  the  company  in  Mexico.  On 
his  return  he  was  appointed  instmctor 
in  mechanical  engineering  in  the  Uni- 
versity, from  1890  to  iJ^,  later  ser- 
ving as  Assistant  Professor.  He  then 
went  to  the  Rose  Polytechnic  Insti- 
tute at  Terre  Haute,  Indiana,  where 
he  finally  became  Professor  of  Steam 
Engineering  and  Associate  in  Electri- 
cal Engineering.  In  1893-4  Mr.  Wag- 
ner was  drawn  into  patent  litigation 
as  an  expert,  in  which  capacity  he 
has  served  frequently  and  with  much 
success. 

William  W.  Campbell,  '86,  mention 
of  whom  was  made  elsewhere  in  this 
paper,  was  a  graduate  in  Civil  Engi- 
neering, who  while  in  college  special- 
ized in  astronomy  under  Professor 
Harrington  and  Professor  Schaeberle. 
Following  his  graduation  he  became 
Professor    of    Mathematics    at    the

latest  work  has  been  in  connection 
with  the  great  steel  plant  at  Gary, 
Indiana,  should  all  be  mentioned. 

In  the  class  of  '87  we  find  Charles 
Y.  Dixon,  who  entered  upon  railroad 
work,  until  he  became  U.  S.  Assistant 
Engineer  on  the  St.  Mary's  Falls 
Canal.  This  positon  he  held  until 
1896,  when  he  was  given  charge  of 
the  Detroit  River  improvements. 

Conspicuous  in  the  work  of  the 
Employers'  Association  in  Chicago  in 
attempting  to  settle  the  perennial  labor 
troubles,  is  the  name  of  John  D.  Hib- 
bard,  '87,  a  graduate  of  the  first  four- 
year  class  in  Mechanical  Engineering. 
He  entered  the  service  of  the  John 
Davis  Co.  of  Chicago,  manufacturers 
and  dealers  in  steam  and  plumbing 
goods,  immediately  following  gradua- 
tion, of  which  he  became  President 
in  1902.  He  has  also  been  President 
of  the  Davis  Construction  Company 


since  1897.  Mr.  Hibbard  has  taken 
an  active  part  in  labor  questions  in 
Chicago  and  was  instrumental  in  the 
settlement  of  the  great  strike  of  1903- 
04.  He  was  pres&ent  of  the  Chicago 
Metal  Trades  Association,  which  suc- 
cessfully arbitrated  the  questions  in 
dispute  with  the  unions,  where  his 
honesty  and  fairness  were  equally  ap- 
preciated by  his  friends  and  his  oppo- 
nents. Mr.  Hibbard  is  now  President 
of  the  Central  Supply  Association,  the 
largest  manufacturers  and  jobbers  of 
steam  and  plumbers'  goods  in  this 
country. 

Earl  P.  Wetmore,  who  was  gradu- 
ated in  Mechanical  Engineering  in 
1887,  after  which  he  was  employed 
with  the  Sprague  Electric  Railway 
and  Motor  Co.,  took  an  active  part 
in  the  development  of  the  first  electric 
railway  erected  in  this  country,  at 
Richmond,  Virginia.  Following  its 
installation  he  was  sent  abroad  to  as- 
sume charge  of  the  installation  of  a 
similar  enterprise  at  Milan,  Italy.  In 
1891-92  he  became  District  Engineer 
for  the  Edison  General  Electric  Co. 
of  the  Pacific  Coast  and  from  1892-94 
he  was  General  Manager  of  the 
Northwest  General  Electric  Co.  with 
headquarters  at  Helena,  Montana.  In 
1894-96  he  was  engaged  as  Consult- 
ing Engineer  on  some  South  Ameri-

the  Detroit  Bridge  and  Iron  Works; 
Henry  E.  WhitScer,  mechanical  en- 
gineer for  Parke,  Davis  and  Co.,  of 
Detroit,  since  1896,  and  Harry  J,  Wil- 
liams, manager  of  the  Asbestos  and 
Asbestic  Co.,  Ltd.,  Danville,  Quebec, 
Canada.  Professor  William  J.  Hus- 
sey,  now  in  charge  of  the  Detroit  Ob- 
servatory at  Ann  Arbor,  and  formerly 
of  the  Lick  Observatory  in  Califor- 
nia, in  whose  interests  he  made  several 
astronomical  expeditions,  was  of  '89. 

William  A.  Livingstone,  '89,  was 
until  1895  engaged  in  marine  engi- 
neering when  he  became  interested  in 
colored  photography,  and  woricing 
under  secret  Swiss  patents,  has  de- 
veloped a  large  and  successful  busi- 
ness. 

One  of  the  first  graduates  of  the 
Engineering  Department  to  become 
prominent  in  marine  engineering  is 
Eugene  McAUaster,  '89.  For  many 
years  he  was  employed  by  the  Detroit 
Dry  Dock  Co.  in  their  ship  design  de- 
partment, occupying  the  responsible 
position  of  assistant  engineer  to  Mr. 
Frank  E.  Kirby,  chief  designer.  He 
held  this  position  until  1894  and  then, 
removing  to  Seattle,  Washington,  he 
opened  an  office  as  consulting  engineer 
and  naval  architect.  In  this  new  field 
of  labor  he  has  been  very  successful 
and  is  today  one  of  the  most  promis- 
ing naval  architects  on  the  Pacific 
Coast,  a  member  of  the  firm  of  Mc- 
AUaster and  Bennett,  Seattle. 

Also  of  the  class  of  '89  is  Ernest  B. 
Perry,  manager  and  engineer  of  the 
Industrial  Works  of  Bay  City,  now 
one  of  the  leading  manufacturing  es- 
tablishments in  Michigan,  specializing 
in  railroad  appliances,  mainly  hoisting 
machinery,  wrecking  outfits  and  rail 
saws.  Homer  M.  Sackett,  '89,  one  of 
the  last  to  graduate  in  mining  engi- 
neering at  the  University,  is  now  pro- 
prietor of  the  Telluride  Iron  Works, 
and  since  1903  he  has  served  as  engi- 


neer and  salesman  for  the  Trenton 
Iron  Co.,  Trenton,  N.  J. 

Richard  Khuen,  '89,  and  Rollo  G. 
'  Manning,  '90,  have  risen  to  positions 
of  great  responsibility  in  the  service 
of  the  American  Bridge  Company. 
Mr.  Khuen  is  the  resident  engineer 
of  the  Pittsburgh  district,  and  Mr. 
Manning  is  the  engineer  of  the  Am- 
bridge  plant.  These  men,  with  many 
others,  have  entered  the  field  of  com- 
mercial engineering,  in  distinction 
from  the  practice  of  the  profession  in 
a  consulting  or  advisory  sense,  and 
unless  one  had  quite  an  accurate 
knowledge  of  the  business  enterprises 
of  the  American  Bridge  Company  and 
the  character  of  the  work  undertaken 
by  it,  it  would  be  difficult  to  form  a 
trustworthy  estimate  of  the  responsi- 
bilities that  are  laid  upon  these  men 
and  men  like  them. 

The  Class  of  '89  furnishes  also  the 
name  of  Gardner  S.  Williams,  at  pres- 
ent the  Professor' of  Civil,  Hydraulic, 
and  Sanitary  Engineering  in  the  Uni- 
versity. He  is  a  Civil  Engineering 
graduate  who  has  risen  to  a  place 
among  the  first  hydraulic  engineers  of 
the  country.  For  several  years  after 
graduation  he  was  engaged  in  hydrau- 
lic and  constructing  engineering  at  Bis- 
marck, N.  D.,  and  Detroit  In  1898  he 
became  engineer  in  charge  of  the  hy- 
draulic laboratory  and  professor  of 
experimental  hydraulics  at  Cornell. 
He  has  served  as  consulting  engineer 
on  a  number  of  important  works,  and 
received  the  Norman  medal  from  the 
American  Society  of  Civil  Engineers 
in  1902,  for  hydraulic  investigations. 
For  two  years,  1903  to  1905,  he  was  a 
member  of  the  International  Water 
Ways  Commission,  possibly  the 
youngest  man  named  in  this  country 
for  a  positon  of  such  prominence  and 
responsibility.  He  has  just  been  elect-

of  Civil  Engineers,  and  also  Chair- 
man of  the  R)ard  of  Managers  of  the 
Association  of  Engineering  Societies.

Several  names  of  the  class  of  1891 
deserve  mention :  Dwight  B.  Cheever, 
now  engaged  in  the  practice  of  patent 
law  in  Chicago,  associated  with  How- 
ard M.  Cox,  '95 ;  Clarence  E.  De  Puy, 
Professor  of  Mechanical  Engineering 
at  Lewis  Institute,  Chicago;  Thomas 
L.  Wilkinson,  now  consulting  engi- 
neer at  Denver,  Colo.,  and  at  present 
President  of  the  Colorado  Scientific 
Society,  and  Robert  P.  Lamont,  who 
became  in  1897  Vice-President  of  the 
Simplex  Railway  Appliance  Co.  This 
position  he  held  until  1905  when  he 
became  First  Vice-President  of  the 
American  Steel  Foundries,  Chicago, 
his  present  position. 

John  R.  Allen,  '92,  now  Professor 
of  Mechanical  Engineering  in  the 
University,  was  for  a  short  time  after 
graduation  employed  by  the  Industrial 
Works  of  Bay  City.  He  then  became 
Engineer  and  Secretary  of  the  L.  K. 
Comstock  Co.  of  Chicago,  and  in  1895 
a  member  of  the  firm  of  Ball  and  Al- 
len. He  returned  to  the  University 
as  Instructor  in  Mechanical  Engineer- 
ing in  1896,  was  made  Assistant  Pro- 
fessor in  1899,  Junior  Professor  in 
1902,  and  a  year  ago  was  advanced 
to  his  present  place. 

While  the  course  in  electrical  en- 
gineering dates  from  1889  only  and 
had  its  first  graduates  in  the  class  of 
1890,  several  graduates  of  the  Depart- 
ment of  Engineering  of  earlier  years 


may  fairly  be  claimed  nunc  pro  tunc 
as  electrical  engineering  alumni.  Such 
for  example  are  Professor  Amos  E. 
Dolbear,  '67  (Mining),  of  Tufts  Col- 
lege, and  Charles  F.  Brush,  '69  ( Min- 
ing)»  of  Cleveland,  who  are  famous 
for  their  work  in  electrical  engineer- 
ing, the  former  having  made  import- 
ant inventions  with  respect  to  the  tele- 
phone and  the  latter  to  arc  light  mach- 
inery; Charles  J.  Kintner,  '70  (Civil), 
electrical  patent  expert.  New  York 
City,  Professor  Frank  C.  Wagner,  '85 
(Mechanical),  well  known  teacher  of 
mechanical  and  electrical  engineering. 
Rose  Polytechnic  Institute,  Frederidc 
H.  Loveridge,  '89  (Mechanical),  elec- 
trical engineer  for  the  Western  Elec- 
tric Co.,  Chicago,  and  many  others. 
These  men  are  naturally  claimed  by 
the  departments  in  which  they  were 
graduated. 

Among  the  graduates  of  the  electri- 
cal course  the  choice  of  names  to  be 
mentioned  is  very  difficult,  for  of  ne- 
cessity many  men  of  whom  the  depart- 
ment thinks  well  cannot  be  included 
because  of  lack  of  space.  The  follow- 
ing men  who  were  graduated  before 
1895  niight  be  singled  out : 

William  D.  Ball,  '90,  E.E.  '95,  was 
one  of  the  first  graduates  in  electrical 
engineering.  He  served  after  grad- 
uation with  the  Sperry  Electric  Min- 
ing Machine  Co.  and  the  Thomson- 
Houston  Elec.  Co.,  then  with  the  L. 
K.  Comstock  Co.  as  superintendent. 
He  next  took  up  the  design  of  electric 
light  plants,  later  becoming  engineer 
(Nagle  &  Ball)  of  construction  U.  S. 
Commission  to  Paris  Exposition  till 
1900,  consulting  engineer  to  1905,  and 
is  now  the  Chicago  representative  of 
the  Roberts  &  Abbot  Co. 

One  of  the  civil  engineering  grad- 
uates who  later  entered  the  electrical 
field  is  Louis  C.  HUl,  '86  (Civil),  '90 
(Electrical).  From  1887-88  he  was 
engaged  in  railroad  work,  becoming 
U.  S.  Assistant  Engineer,  1888,  and 
Division  Engineer  of  the  Great  North- 
em  Railroad,  1889.    With  this  pre-

liminary  experience  he  was  chosen 
Professor  of  Electrical  Engineering 
at  the  Colorado  School  of  Mines, 
which  position  he  held  until  1903.  He 
then  became  Engineer  in  the  U,  S. 
Reclamation  Service,  1903-05,  and,  in 
1905,  Supervising  Engineer  in  charge 
of  work  in  Arizona,  including  the  Salt 
River  Project,  and  in  Southern  Cali- 
fornia. In  his  college  work  at  the 
Colorado  School  of  Mines  Mr.  Hill 
was  largely  instrumental  in  the  de- 
velopment of  the  Department  of  En- 
gineering. 

George  H.  Rowe,  '91,  was  instruc- 
tor at  the  University  of  Michigan, 
1892-93,  Professor  of  Physics  and  la- 
ter of  Electrical  Engineering  and 
Dean  of  the  School  of  Applied  Sci- 
ence at  the  University  of  Colorado 
till  1903.  He  then  became  Associate 
Professor  of  Electrical  Engineering 
at  Leland  Stanford  Jr.  University, 
*03-'o5,  designing  engineer  Western 
Electric  Co.,  'os-'o6,  and  is  now  con- 
sulting engineer.  Professor  Rowe  has 
writen  many  scientific  articles  and  is 
one  of  the  translators  of  Hyland's 
Inductive  Motor.  He  is  a  member 
of  various  technical  societies. 

Thomas  E.  Bamum,  '92,  chief  en- 
gineer Cutler-Hammer  Co.,  Milwau- 
kee ;  Edwin  H.  Cheney,  '92,  president 
Fuel  Engineering  Co.,  Chicago ;  Elea- 
zor  Darrow,  '92,  general  manager 
Toledo  and  Indiana  Railway,  Toledo ; 
William  B.  Larabee,  '92,  expert  of  the 
Gray  Telautograph  Co.,  New  York 
City,  show  the  versatility  of  the  class 
of  '92  in  the  various  branches  of  elec- 
trical engineering. 

The  larger  proportion  of  the  grad- 
uates in  electrical  engineering,  how- 


ever, are  numbered  in  the  classes  of 
the  last  fifteen  years,  since  the  depart- 
ment was  only  established  in  1889. 
This  article  does  not  properly  cover 
this  last  period,  but  the  following  ad- 
ditonal  graduates  in  engineering  may 
well  be  mentioned. 

Charles  G.  Atkins,  '93,  after  experi- 
ence with  the  Westinghouse  Electric 
and  Mfg.  Co.  and  the  Chicago  Edison 
Co.,  is  a  consulting  engineer  in  Chi- 
cago, and  his  classmate,  Henry  G. 
Field,  '93,  formerly  president  of  Field, 
Hinchman  &  Smith,  is  now  secretary 
of  the  Buick  Motor  Co.,  Detroit 
Howard  M.  Raymond,  '93,  has  de- 
voted himself  to  teaching  and  has 
risen  to  the  deanship  of  the  Armour 
Institute  of  Technology  at  Chicago. 
Harry  R.  King,  '94,  who  left  college 
before  completing  his  course  but  later 
received  his  degree  as  of  the  class  of 
1894,  has  been  for  many  years  an  im- 
portant man  in  the  organization  of 
the  Western  Electric  Co.,  Chicago. 
Fred  A.  Rogers,  '94,  and  Fred  A. 
Sager,  '94,  toth  entered  educational 
work.  The  former  is  Assistant  Pro- 
fessor of  Physics  and  Electrical  En- 
gineering, Lewis  Institute,  Chicago, 
and  the  latter,  after  rising  to  an  assist- 
ant professorship  at  the  University  of 
Illinois,  resigned  to  take  a  position  as 
electrical  engineer  with  the  Arnold 
Co.,  Chicago,  where  he  is  a  colleague 
of  George  A.  Damon,  '95,  managing 
engineer  of  the  Arnold  Co.,  Chicago. 
Mr.  Damon  has  been  associated  with 
Mr.  Bion  J.  Arnold  since  graduation 
and  is  Mr.  Arnold's  righthand  man 
in  the  Arnold  Co.,  one  of  the  most 
important  construction  corporations  in 
the  country.

MICHIGAN  SCHEDULE  FOR  1908 

During  the  intermission  between  the  ath- 
letic seasons,  the  schedules  for  the  spring 
and  fall  games  are  the  centers  of  interest, 
and  the  opponents  already  listed  show  that 
Graduate  Director  Baird  has  had  no  diffi- 
culty in  securing  contests  with  representa- 
tive teams  in  the  East,  South,  and  West 
Indoor  athletics,  for  which  large  squads 
have  already  begun  to  practice,  seem  bound 
to  prove  a  greater  drawing  card  than  ever 
before.  Among  the  new  features  to  be  pre- 
sented this  year  is  the  introduction  of 
strong  relay  teams  at  the  practice  meets. 
Negotiations  already  opened  show  that  sev- 
eral good  quartets  are  available. 

After  the  preliminary  meet,  the  regular 
Fresh-Soph  contest  will  be  held.  Following 
this,  the  annual  Varsity  meet  will  serve  to 
show  the  material  for  the  squad  which  is 
to  meet  the  team  of  the  First  Regiment  of 
Chicago  in  Waterman  Gymnasium  a  week 
later.  Arrangements  for  this  match  are 
practically  completed,  and  if  it  is  thought 
advisable,  more  outside  teams  will  be 
brought  to  Ann  Arbor  for  indoor  competi- 
tion. 

Thus  far  only  one  big  meeting  has  been 
arranged  for  the  track  team  next  spring— 
the  Eastern  Intercollegiate.  This  event 
comes  either  the  last  Saturday  in  May  or 
the  first  in  June,  the  decision  of  the  date 
being  unsettled  as  yet. 

An  indication  of  a  more  liberal  policy  has 
been  furnished  by  the  Board  in  Control 
in  granting  the  baseball  team  permission  to 
take  two  trips  of  considerable  length  during 
their  season.  Leaving  Ann  Arbor  April  10, 
the  squad  will  go  south  to  spend  the  spring 
vacation  in  preparation  for  one  of  the  hard- 
est schedules  it  has  ever  had  to  face.  While 
on  the  other  side  of  Mason  and  Dixon's 


line  the  Varsity  will  play  at  least  five  ffames 
with  the  two  best  college  nines  in  the  South, 
those  of  the  University  of  Tennessee  and 
Vanderbilt  University.  The  two  games 
with  the  former  will  be  played  at  Knox- 
ville,  April  13  and  14,  while  Michigan  will 
cross  bats  with  the  Commodores  at  Nash- 
ville, April  16,  17,  and  18. 

Returning  to  Ann  Arbor,  several  semi- 
practice  games  will  be  played  on  Ferry 
Field,  only  two  of  which  have  as  yet  been 
definitely  decided  upon:  Case  on  April  25, 
and  Wooster  on  May  7.  On  May  9,  on  the 
home  grounds,  Michigan  will  meet  her  first 
severe  test  when  the  strong  team  from 
Georgetown  College  of  Kentucky  begins  a 
tour  of  the  western  university  diamonds. 
As  this  team  is  said  to  compare  favorably 
with  that  from  Williams  College  whidi  last 
year  gave  Michigan  such  a  fight  for  thir- 
teen innings,  a  hard  fought  battle  is  ex- 
pected. 

The  Eastern  trip  of  the  Michigan  squad 
begins  on  May  19,  when  the  Varsity  will 
meet  Cornell  at  Ithaca  on  May  30,  Syracuse 
at  Syracuse  on  the  following  day,  and 
Brown  at  Providence,  May  23.  Other 
games  may  be  played  on  this  trip  if  con- 
ditions are  favorable. 

Syracuse  will  return  to  play  at  Ann  Arbor 
two  days,  May  29  and  30,  and  these  games 
will  probably  end  the  season. 

Football  is  expected  to  take  a  prosperous 
turn  in  the  fall  of  1008,  and  from  the  sche- 
dule Manager  Baird  has  already  arranged, 
it  looks  as  though  the  students  would  not 
be  disappointed,  for  both  Pennsylvania  and 
Vanderbilt  will  be  seen  on  the  home  grid- 
iron. 

The  season  opens  with  a  game  with  the 
plucky  Case  eleven  at  Ann  Arbor,  Oct  3. 
Michigan  Agricultural  College  a  week  later 
is  a  probability,  and  the  strong  team  of 
Ohio  State  University  will  be  met  at  Colum- 
bus on  Oct.  24.  Vanderbilt  will  appear  in 
the  North,  Oct  31,  as  per  its  alternate  year 
agreement,  but  the  big  surprise  of  the  sche- 
dule is  the  reappearance  of  the  Quaker 
team  on  Ferry  Field,  listed  for  Nov.  14. 
The  explanation  of  this  change  from  the 
East  to  the  West  for  this  yeaPs  game  be- 
tween these  two  rivals  is  found  in  the  fact 
that  it  is  feared  that  the  detraction  of  the 
Yale-PrinceoQ  game  played  in  Princeton  the

week  before  will  affect  the  gate  receipts. 
Michigan  has  agreed  to  go  East  in  1909  to 
play  in  Philadelphia. 

Besides  the  games  already  listed.  Brown, 
Dartmouth  and  Carlisle  have  asked  for 
games.    Whether  or  not  they  get  dates  on 


Michigan's  schedule  will  be  determined  by 
the  number  of  games  the  Board  in  Control 
will  allow.  Should  they  sanction  ^ames

STUDENTS  CONDUCT  THEIR  OWN 
EXAMINATIONS 

Following  the  preceding  three  classes  in 
the  Medical  Department  of  the  University, 
as  well  as  colleges  such  as  Princeton  and 
the  University  of  Virginia,  the  freshman 
dass  has  adopted  the  honor  system  in 
conducting  examinations.  This  system, 
which  has  been  followed  for  several  years 
by  other  classes  in  the  Medical  Department, 
places  the  conducting  of  examinations  en- 
tirely in  the  hands  of  the  students  them- 
selves. The  name  of  anyone  caught  cheat- 
ing by  his  fellows  is  reported  to  a  student 
committee  which  investigates  the  matter 
and  in  turn  reports  the  offender  to  the 
Faculty,  if  it  deems  the  ground  just  Pun- 
ishment for  the  offender  is  expulsion  from 
the  University,  and  several  students  have 
in  past  years  been  quietly  asked  to  leave 
the  University. 

COSMOPOLITAN  CLUB  AT  THE  UNI- 
VERSITY OF  MICHIGAN 

Seventeen  different  countries  are  repre- 
sented by  the  fifty  members  of  the  Cosmo- 
politan Club  of  the  University  of  Michi- 
gan as  follows:  Armenia,  Philippine  Is- 
knds,  Turkey,  Poland,  Germany,  Bulgaria, 
Hawaii,  Chma,  Russia,  Japan,  Omada, 
Scotland,  Peru,  Greece,  France,  India,  and 
the  United  States.  Nine  persons  on  the 
university  faculty,  including  President 
James  B.  Angell,  are  honorary  members. 

The  club  at  the  University  is  now  known 
as  the  Michigan  chapter  of  the  Association 
of  Cosmopolitan  Clubs  of  the  United  States. 
In  this  association  are  represented  seven 
other  clubs,  of  the  Universities  of  Chicago, 
Illinois,  Louisiana,  Cornell,  Ohio  State, 
Purdue,  and  Wisconsin. 

Weekly  entertainments  are  given  by  the 
members  at  their  club  house  in  Ann  Arbor. 
Each  entertainment  is  in  charge  of  the 
members  from  one  country.  Short  plays, 
dialogues,  talks  in  English  about  special 
features  of  their  country,  games,  and  cus- 


toms peculiar  to  the  people  of  that  country 
constitute  the  program  of  the  evening.  For 
refreshments  various  kinds  of  dishes  pre- 
pared in  foreign  fashions  are  served. 


MICHIGAN  MEN   IN  THE  FORESTRY 
SERVICE 

From  the  "Field  Program  for  August" 
of  the  U.  S.  Forest  Service  it  appears  that 
there  are  twenty-five  University  of  Mich- 
igan men  in  this  Service;  that  all  of  the 
1907  men  who  took  the  Civil  Service  ex- 
amination, passed  the  examination  and  re- 
ceived appointment,  and  also  that  all  the 
men  of  previous  years  have  been  promoted, 
several  of  them  repeatedly. 

Important  places  are  held  by  Clyde 
Leavitt,  '04,  who  is  Acting  Chief  in  the 
office  of  organization,  and  by  E.  H.  Clapp, 
'05,  who  is  in  charge  of  timber  sales. 

F.  J.  Phillips,  '06,  left  the  Service  this 
summer  to  accept  the  position  of  Professor 
of  Forestry  at  the  University  of  NebraslcEL 


PHYSICAL  MEASUREMENTS— YALE 
AND  MICHIGAN  FRESHMEN 

Statistics  regarding  the  physical  measure- 
ments of  the  members  of  the  freshmen 
class  at  the  University  of  Michigan  have 
been  compiled  by  Dr.  May  of  the  Univer- 
sity. In  comparing  these  with  similar  sta- 
tistics for  Yale  some  interesting  results  are 
shown.    The  figures  are  as  follows: 

Mich.      Yale 

Heighf   67.6       67.6 

Weight 136.4      137.4 

Lung  capacity  243.        356.

The  figures  for  last  year's  class  are: 
Weight,  67.7;  age,  19.8  years;  lung  capa- 
city 236. 

The  height  of  the  Michigan  and  Yale 
freshman  is  exactly  the  same,  although  the 
Yale  man  is  one  pound  heavier.  His  lung 
capacity  is  considerably  more,  although  the

percentage  of  tobacco  users  at  Yale  is  con- 
siderably larger.  The  explanation  given 
for  die  larger  lung  capacity  is  that  more 
men  come  to  Yale  from  schools  where 
stress  is  laid  on  physical  training  than  to 
Michigan.  The  statistics  also  show  that 
the  Ann  Arbor  student  is  three-tenths  of 
a  year  older  than  the  Yale  student 

These  physical  examinations  are  taken 
to  ascertain  the  condition  of  the  student 
and  to  discover  what  physical  defects  there 
may  be,  if  any,  whidi  may  be  remedied. 
Special  work  is  assigned  to  such  students 
and  they  are  given  especial  attention  by 
the  instructor. 


COLLEGE  GRADUATES  AVERAGE 
TWENTY-FOUR  YEARS 

Twenty-four  years  will  be  the  average 
age  of  the  329  members  of  the  senior  lit- 
erary class  of  the  University  of  Michigan 
at  graduation  in  June.  Of  the  total  number 
of  members  160  are  women  and  169  men, 
with  no  perceptible  difference  between  the 
average  ages  of  the  men  and  women,  as 
the  average  approximates  twenty-four. 

The  youngest  member  of  the  class  is 
eighteen  years  old.  The  age  of  the  oldest 
is  fifty-five.  At  graduation  eighty  of  the 
seniors  will  be  twenty-two  years  of  age, 
and  seventy  will  be  twenty-three.  Sixty- 
six  are  over  the  age  of  twenty-five,  twenty 
of  whom  are  past  the  age  of  thirty.  This 
average  is  increased  materially  however, 
by  the  age  of  the  four  students  above  fortv 
years.  The  following  teble  gives  the  age 
and  per  cent  of  total:

THE  JUNIOR  HOP 

As  has  been  the  custom  for  many  years, 
the  Junior  Hop  at  the  University  occurred 
during  the  annual  lull  between  the  two 
semesters.  This  great  annual  party,  cele- 
brating the  close  of  the  examination  per- 
iod for  the  first  semester,  occurred  this 
year  the  evening  of  Friday,  Feb.  7.  Al- 
most all  the  fraternities  in  the  University 
had  booths  under  the  great  running  track 
in  the  Waterman  Gymnasium,  where  the 
"Hop"  is  held,  as  well  as  the  Independents, 
or  non-fraternity  students. 

An  attendance  of  200  couples  was  ex- 
pected, most  of  them  coming  from  out  of 
town.  The  Hop  is  but  one  of  a  series  of 
festivities,  which  last  two  or  three  days,  the 
fraternities  all  giving  house  parties  for 
their  out  of  town  guests  during  the  period. 
In  addition  to  drives  and  dances  in  the  fra- 
ternity houses,  the  University  Comedy  Club 
gave  a  matinee  performance,  and  the  Glee 
and  Mandolin  Clubs  held  a  concert 


President  Angell  of  the  University  of 
Michigan  is  an  active  advocate  of  a  Na- 
tional Bureau  of  Health.  The  American 
Association  for  the  Advancement  of  Science 
showed  great  interest  in  the  project  at  its 
recent  meeting  at  the  University  of  Chi- 
cago, and  Dr.  Angell  has  been  made  a 
member  of  the  committee  of  vice-presidents 
on  this  subject,  of  so  great  national  impor- 
tance. Associated  with  him  are  men  of 
such  prominence  as  President  Elliot  of 
Harvard,  Joseph  Choate,  Archbishop  Ire- 
land, Andrew  Carnegie,  and  Thomas  A. 
Edison. 

In  reporting  the  meeting  of  the  Asso- 
ciation one  of  the  Chicago  papers  says: 
"A  National  Bureau  of  Health  for  the  reg- 
ulation of  the  people's  physical  welfare, 
planned  by  the  leading  specialists  of  the 
United  States,  and  endorsed  by  President 
Roosevelt,  may  take  its  place  in  the  fed- 
eral department  of  the  government  within 
a  year  through  the  efforts  of  the  American 
Association  for  the  Advancement  of  Sci- 


With  the  purpose  of  studying  the  political 
issues  which  will  figure  in  the  next  Presi- 
dential campaign,  a  Republican  Club  has 
been  organized  at  the  University.  It  has 
leased  a  club  reading  room,  open  from  noon 
to  ten  p.  m.  daily,  where  periodicals  will 
be  on  hie  as  well  as  campaign  literature. 
Weekly  meetings  will  be  held  for  the  pur- 
pose of  discussing  political  policies,  at 
which  it  is  planned  to  have  prominent  men 
as  speakers.

are  published  herewith: 

Whereas,  we  observe  with  satisfaction, 
that  the  Regents  of  the  University  of  Mich- 
igan have  established  a  new  Board  in  Con- 
trol of  Athletics,  and  that  the  Board  as 
now  constituted  grants  to  the  alumni  a  voice 
in  the  direction  of  athletics,  thus  recog- 
nizing, in  a  measure,  the  loyal  and  patriotic 
interest  taken  in  the  welfare  of  the  Uni- 
versity by  her  alumni  and  their  right  to 
participate  in  the  formation  of  the  athletic 
policy,  and 

Whereas,  the  merits  of  this  policy  of 
alumni  control  of  athletics  have  been  de- 
monstrated with  such  marked  success  in 
the  Eastern  colleges  and  universities;  now 
therefore,  be  it 

Resolved,  That  we,  the  members  of  the 
University  of  Michigan  Club,  in  the  City 
of  New  York,  in  meeting  duly  assembled, 
do  hereby  endorse  this  action  of  the  Re- 
gents and  we  recommend  that  a  larger 
measure  of  participation  in  such  control  be 
granted  to  the  alumni  by  placing  on  the 
Board  in  Control  of  Athletics  additional 
alumni  members,  and

the  Association  at  the  Assembly  Rooms  of 
the  Chamber  of  Commerce  at  which  a  con- 
stitution and  by-laws,  as  submitted  by  the

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[February 


Whcrca^  we  note  with  pleasure  that  two 
more  games  have  been  scheduled  with  the 
University  of  Pennsylvania,  and 

Whereas,  we  believe  that  increased  pres- 
tige will  come  to  the  University  through 
further  participation  in.  Eastern  athletics, 
and 

Whereas,  we  believe  that  a  failure  so  to 
participate  will  be  detrimental  to  the  best 
mterests  of  the  University;  now  therefore, 
be  it  further 

Resolved,  That  we  heartily  endorse  such 
participation  and  we  recommend  a  continu- 
ation and  expansion  thereof,  not  alone  in 
football  and  in  track,  but  in  other  branches 
of  athletics  as  well;  and  be  it  further 

Resolved,  That  the  Secretary  be  instruct- 
ed to  send  a  copy  of  these  resolutions  to 
the  Michigan  Daxly  and  The  Alumnus  for 
publication. 


THE  DETROIT  ALUMNI  DINNER 

A  large  number  of  graduates  of  the  Uni- 
versity met  at  the  annual  dinner  of  the 
University  of  Michigan  Alumni  Association 
of  Detroit,  Friday,  Dec.  6,  held  at  the  new 
Ponchartrain  Hotel.  Judge  Henry  H.  Swan, 
*S8— '62,  LL.D.  '02,  presided  as  toastmaster. 
President  Angell  was  the  guest  of  honor 
and  spoke  upon  the  University.  A  news- 
paper clipping  gives  the  following  account 
of  his  speech: 

"There  was  no  dreamy  retrospect  of  the 
past  in  President  Angell's  address.  Rather 
was  it  filled  with  enthusiastic  predictions 
and  plans  for  the  future.  Declaring  that 
there  were  many  indications  going  to  show 


that  the  great  north  central  states  were 
destined  to  become  the  center  of  the  pros- 
perity of  the  United  States,  President  AngdU 
expressed  his  gratitude  that  Michigan  had 
been  permitted  to  educate  and  e<)uip  for 
life  so  many  of  the  citizens  of  this  region 
and  urged  its  graduates  to  still  greater 
efforts  on  behalf  of  the  University. 

"The  address  was  Iragely  a  review  of  the 
work  at  the  University  during  the  last  year. 
He  dwelt  particularly  upon  his  gratificatioo 
over  the  act  of  the  last  legislature  in  in- 
creasing the  University's  appropriation  from 
one-fourth  to  three-eighths  of  a  mill,  with 
but  two  dissenting  votes." 

In  addition  to  Dr.  Angell,  Robert  Barr 
also  spoke,  largely  upon  reminiscences 
of  his  life  in  Detroit,  concluding  with  a 
humorous  reference  to  a  tramp  he  once 
made  from  Detroit  to  Ann  Arbor,  the  only 
time  he  "attended  the  University."  Pro- 
fessor Florus  A.  Barbour,  '78,  of  Ypsilanti, 
also  paid  a  handsome  tribute  to  President 
Angell's  work  in  the  University  as  a  pioneer 
in  the  university  interests  of  the  West  A 
large  number  of  older  alumni,  including 
Dr.  David  M.  Cooper,  '48,  Hon.  Thomas 
W.  Palmer,  '49,  and  Hon.  Ashley  Pond,  '54, 
were  among  the  guests. 

At  a  previous  meeting  of  the  Detroit  al- 
umni, held  in  October,  the  following  resolu- 
tion was  also  adopted  as  reported  by  the 
Secretary,  Allan  Campbell,  '5^,  of  Detroit: 
"Resolved,  that  the  University  of  Michigan 
Alumni  Association  of  Detroit  heartily  en- 
dorse the  project  of  the  Michigan  Union 
and  recommend  it  as  entitled  to  the  sup- 
port of  every  alumnus  of  the  University.'*

Edward  A.  Halsey,  '77,  has  recently  been 
very  active  in  a  matter  of  considerable  im- 
portance to  the  people  of  Chicago.  At  a 
meeting  of  the  Chicago  Real  Estate  Board 
in  December,  a  resolution  was  passed  in- 
dorsing the  proposed  amendment  to  the 
state  constitution  which  authorizes  the  is- 
suance of  $20,000,000  in  bonds  for  the  con- 
struction of  that  portion  of  the  deep  water- 
way channel  within  the  state  of  Illinois. 
Mr.  Halsey,  as  chairman  of  the  Sanitary 
District  Committee  of  the  Board,  recom- 
mended that  the  resolution  be  adopted  with 
an  amendment  to  the  effect  that  the  funds 
be  used  in  continuing  the  channel  already 
constructed  at  an  expense  of  $55,000,000 
from  Lake  Michigan  through  the  Chicago 
River  and  the  drainage  canal  to  Lockport 
The  resolution  as  amended  was  adopted 
without  a  dissenting  vote.  Thus,  one  of 
the  most  influential  bodies  of  business  men 
in  Chicago  set  the  seal  of  its  disapproval

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[February 


on  the  scheme  for  making  South  Chicago 
and  the  Calumet  river  the  northern  ter- 
minus of  the  Great  Lakes-to-the-Gulf  Deep 
Waterway.  This  scheme  has  had  the  back- 
ing of  strong  political  interests  but  would, 
according  to  Mr.  Halsey's  report,  drain 
many  miles  of  swamp  land  lying  in  Indiana 
and  owned  by  various  big  corporations,  in- 
cluding the  Standard  Oil  Company.  The 
money,  moreover,  would  come  chiefly  from 
tax  payers  in  the  original  sanitary  dis- 
trict which  did  not  include  South  Chicago. 
The  latter  place  would  eventually  monop- 
olize the  lake  and  deep  waterway  com- 
merce at  the  expense  of  the  Chicago  river 
and  main  harbor,  and  a  rise  in  land  values 
which  would  very  materially  increase  the 
riches  of  the  corporations  and  politicians 
before  mentioned,  would  result.

BEYOND  GOOD  AND  EVIL 

So  much  ecstatic  stuff,  in  the  way  of  ful- 
some laudation  or  foolish  diatribe,  has  been 
written  about  Germany's  latest  philosopher, 
that  this  translation  of  the  fragmentary 
introduction  to  his  contemplated,  but  un- 
finished, masterpiece,  is  to  be  welcomed 
heartily;  the  more  that  Miss  Zimmem's 
English  conveys  as  good  an  idea  of  the 
original  as  can,  probably,  ever  be  presented 
in  our  tongue. 

Like  other  thinkers  who  have  exercised 
widespread   influence,  and  moved  men  to 
their  very  depths,  Nietzsche  comes  in  the 
guise  of  a  phenomenon   of  his  age.     He 
stands  forth  a  mighty  protest  against  con- 
ventional judgments  and  sacrosanct  stand- 
ards, especially  in  things  of  the  mind.    His 
''transvaluation  of  values"    must    remain, 
almost  certainly,   anathema  to  that   large, 
and  possibly  increasing,  class  whom  he  calls 
''fragmental  humanities."    The  regimenting 
of  modern  knowledge  makes  for  the  pro- 
duction of  this  unfortunate  animal.    And  it 
is  well,  perhaps,  that  Nietzsche  should  have 
pilloried   him    so    mercilessly.     The  very 
titles   of  his   chapters   suggest   thrusts   at 
academic  methods  beloved  of  the  bom  or 
manufactured  second-rater.    "Prejudices  of 
Philosophers;"  "the  Free  Spirit;"  "the  Re- 
ligious   Mood;"    "Apothegms    and    Inter- 
ludes;" "the  Natural  History  of  Morals;" 
"We  Scholars;"  "Our  Virtues;"  "Peoples 
and  Customs;"  "What  is  Noble?"  promise 
a  feast  of  fat  things.    And  fat  things  are 
not  apt  to  be  palatable.     The  editor,  Mr. 
Common,  basing  on  this,  makes  no  small 
claim  in  his  general  preface.    "Burke  says 
in  his   "Reflections  on   the  Revolution  in 
France,"  "'We  Englishmen  know  that  we 
have  made  no  discoveries,  and  we  think 
that  no  discoveries  are  to  be  made  in  mor- 
ality."    In   short,   the   Englishman's   puri- 
tanism  and  protestantism,  like  the  Ameri- 
can's, has  boxed  the  ethical  compass.    "The 
latter  statement,  which  still  represents  the 
general  views  of  Englishmen,  is  now  proved 
to  be  entirely  mistaken.    Discoveries  have 
now  been  made  in  the  realm  of  morals, 
which  are  perhaps  even  more  practically 
important  than  all  the  discoveries  in  physi- 
cal science;  and  it  is  to  Nietzsche  especially 
that  we  are  indebted  for  those  discoveries" 
(p.  vii).     Like  Mr.  Common's  charge  of 
bad  faith  against  the  "professional"  phil- 
osophers, who  have  organized  a  conspiracy 


of  silence  against  his  hero,  this  colossal 
allegation  goes  too  far.  It  lacks  restraint, 
and  scientific  keeping.  Nevertheless,  it  docs 
possess  a  basis  in  fact  A  thinker  who 
reached  the  conclusion  that  "Christianity 
is  the  foulest  blot  on  the  history  of  civiliza- 
tion," cannot  expect  to  be  viewed,  either 
by  devotees  or  by  opponents,  as  a  negligi- 
ble quantity,  as  a  respectable  performer 
who  needs  no  repentance.  Disciples  and 
adversaries  alike  are  forced  to  perpetrate 
pungent  sentiments.  To  the  former,  a  new 
integration  of  the  universe— sadly  needed, 
has  been  revealed  on  a  sudden;  to  others, 
saying  the  least,  it  is  impossible  to  regard 
this  author  as  if  he  were  a  mere  occupant 
of  some  postprandial  lectureship.  He  in- 
censes them;  they  hate  him,  because  they 
are  in  dread  of  their  righteous  souls. 

All  the  same,  praise  or  blame,  admira- 
tion or  fear  aside,  Nietzsche  is  a  phenome- 
non, one  that  must  be  reckoned  with  sooner 
or  Uter.  It  is  no  small  thing  that,  already, 
he  bids  fair  to  exercise  in  the  twentieth 
century  an  influence  not  unlike  that  wrought 
by  Rousseau  in  the  nineteenth.  It  were 
well,  therefore,  for  everyone  to  know  some- 
thing about  him  at  first  hand.  Problems 
have  been  multiplying  upon  us  since  1875; 
most  of  them  remain  wholly  without  reply. 
Nietzsche  has  grappled  them,  to  give  him 
his  bare  due.  And  so,  all  who  wish  to 
know  what  the  questions  are,  and  how  he 
proposes  to  settle  them,  would  do  them- 
selves a  favor  by  turning  to  this  book,  not 
as  a  matter  of  mere  flabby  curiosity,  but 
with  serious  aim  to  understand  reasons  for 
the  reaction  against  democracy,  and  demo- 
cratic ideas  so  called. 

We  of  the  University  of  Michigan  do  not 
fall  under  Mr.  Common's  condemnation. 
For  the  course  on  Nietzsche,  offered  now 
nine  years  ago,  and  followed  with  intense 
interest  by  a  large  class,  was  the  first  ever 
given  in  an  English-speaking  university, 
and  in  all  likelihood  antedated  any  in  the 
universities  of  his  own  land.  But  it  is 
well  that  his  ideas  should  be  known  beyond 
the  narrow  limits  of  the  lecture-room; 
otherwise,  how  can  anyone  hope  either  to 
appreciate  or  to  refute  them?

ARIZONA  NIGHTS 

No  one,  perhaps,  and  least  of  all  the 
author  himself,  would  claim  for  Mr.  White's 
books  the  dignity  of  art.  He  possesses,  it 
is  true,  vivid  and  picturesque  style,  a  nota- 
ble gift  of  observation,  and  a  sense  for 
the  unexpected  in  incident  and  plot  which 
ranks  him  among  our  best  living  romancers. 
Of  these  qualities  the  tales  in  the  present 
volume  are  for  the  most  part  admirable 
examples.  Moreover,  they  illustrate  the 
quality  which  gave  much  of  their  peculiar 
interest  to  his  earlier  stories,  "The  Blazed 
Trail"  and  its  successors — an  intimacy  with 
nature  in  some  of  its  wilder  aspects  and 
an  ability  to  utilize  these  aspects  as  the 
background  of  stirring  incident.  The  for- 
est, the  mountains,  and  now  the  desert, 
have  each  been  realized  by  him  with  a 
vividness  and  a  wealth  of  detail  which 
makes  his  presentation  of  them  sometimes 
more  interesting  than  that  of  his  people 
themselves.  But  after  all,  in  the  main  he 
does  little  more  than  this.  The  final  im- 
pression which  his  books  leave  with  you 
is  that  of  a  series  of  loose  sketches,  rather 
than  that  of  a  completely  fused  work  of 
art. 

The  greater  part  of  "Arizona  Nights"  is 
undoubtedly  open  to  this  reservation.  The 
stories  are  good  stories,  it  is  true;  their 
charm  is  a  mingled  one  of  incident  and 
landscape;  one  even  catches  hints  now  and 
then  which  suggest  that  Mr.  White  is  not 
entirely  blind  to  .the  larger  import  of  his 
material ;  but  one  has  only  to  compare  them 
with  such  a  story  as  Joseph  Conrad's 
"Youth,"  so  similar  in  method,  to  feel  their 
limitations  at  once.  The  business  of  a  nov- 
elist, says  Stevenson  somewhere,  is  not  to 
make  his  stories  "true  to  life,"  but  to  make 
them  "typical."  Well,  in  general,  one  feels 
that  the  "^Arizona  Nights,"  however  true 
ihey  may  be  to  the  life  portrayed,  are  not 
anywhere  near  typical  enough. 

In  general,  we  say.  There  is,  indeed,  one 
striking  exception — the  last  and  longest 
story  in  the  book,  "The  Ravvhide."  It  is 
the  fable  (told,  however,  with  thorough 
"realism")  of  the  man  who  has  borne  his 
part  in  the  opening  up  of  the  Southwest, 
has  lived  to  see  himself  no  longer  a  pioneer 
but  a  wealthy  ranch  owner,  with  civiliza- 
tion flourishing  around  him,  and  has  learned 
to  find  beauty  where  before  he  saw  only 
barrenness  and  desert.  All  this  together 
with  the  tragedy  which  followed  when  he 
attempted  to  civilize  himself  still  further 
by  importing  a  wife  from  the  North,  is  pre- 
sented in  Mr.  White's  most  direct  and 
virile  manner.  But  its  interest  is  much 
greater  than  that  of  any  mere  story.  It  is 
a  myth  in  which  the  desert  and  the  retired 
pioneer  and  the  young  woman  from  Kan«;a«; 


City  all  have  a  more  or  less  symbolical 
value.  It  means  something  that  is,  and 
though  this  something  cannot  be  stated  in 
terms  very  intelligible  to  the  mere  mind, 
it  is  enough  to  give  to  the  story  the  flavor 
^»f  art.  R.  S.  C.

SADIE 


Those  who  know  Mr.  Harriman  of  old 
need  not  be  told  that  his  is  the  gift  of  the 
story-teller.  His  tale  runs  easily  with  a 
continuous  growth  of  interest  and  a  skil- 
fully ordered  succession  of  climaxes.  The 
style  is  breezy,  as  befits  the  character  of 
the  narrative,  but  now  and  then  there  is  a 
descent  into  the  flippant  and  frothy. 

The  story  deals  with  the  adventures  of  a 
working-girl  who  flees  from  the  pFess  and 
culture  of  the  metropolis  (Kansas  City)  to 
breathe  the  free  and  wholesome,  though 
super-heated,  atmosphere  of  a  desert  vil- 
lage. The  fitness  of  the  heroine  to  her  new 
environment,  which  is  the  predominant  note 
of  the  story,  is  adequately  set  forth.  The 
characters  are  as  well  defined  and  the  local 
color  is  as  vivid  as  usual  in  fiction  of  this 
type,  but,  as  Mr.  Harriman  himself  rather 
broadly  hints,  the  story-tellers  have  about 
sapped  the  far-west  of  its  romance,  and  it 
is  ceasing  to  afford  profitable  themes.  The 
fault  may  well  lie  in  the  limitations  of  the 
romancers,  rather  than  in  the  life  depicted; 
but  be  that  as  it  may,  the  glories  of  the 
unconventional  are  fast  dimming  to  the 
conventional,  and  Mr.  Harriman's  talc  does 
not  escape  the  common   fate. 

Something  might  be  added  concerning  the 
odd  complication  whereby  the  heroine  finds 
herself  in  love  with  three  men  at  once,  and 
the  deftness  with  which  the  author  makes 
her  choose  the  most  desirable  (and  least 
probable)  of  her  suitors.  But  though  the 
psychology  is  dubious  the  event  is  pleasing, 
which  is  all  that  most  readers  demand  in 
romance  of  this  kind.  S.

to  subscribe  until  he  ceases  to  grow."

and  wrote  many  applications  for  positions  as 
notices  of  vacancies  came.  I  finally  secure<l  a 
position,  but  not  by  reason  of  assistance  from  any 
of  them.  Being  still  anxious  for  advancement,  but 
now  somewhat  skeptical  as  to  the  helpfulness  of 
agencies,  1  was  induce<l  by  a  friend  to  try  Miss

For 
Growing 
Children 


The  intelligent  mother  of  today  looks  carefully 
after  the  food  of  her  growing  children. 

A  natural  appetite  calls  for  wholesome  food. 
The  child  who  is  taught  early  to  like  proper  food,  free 
from  over-stimulating  elements,  is  not  likely  to  ac- 
quire the. taste  for  strong  drink  later  on.  His  appe- 
tite has  been  trained  for  that  which  is  wholesome 
and  truly  invigorating. 

Perhaps  no  food  is  so  simple,  wholesome  and 
strengthening  as 

Grape-Nuts 

It  contains  all  the  elements  from  wheat  and 
barley,  that  build  up  tissues  and  store  up  natural, 
healthy  energy  in  the  body.  It  contains  nothing 
injurious — is  all  food,  and  can  be  digested  by  young 
children,  who  grow  rosy  and  strong  on  it.    , 

With  cream  or  milk  it  is  the  bCSt  food  for  the 
growing  child — and  children  quickly  learn  to  love  it.

Three  danger  signals  ignored  by  the  lawyer  who  relies 
upon  out  of  date  text-books  and  encyclopedias.  To  use 
such  books  is  to  jeopardize  the  interests  of  your  client  and 
minimize  your  own  success.

Aside  from  the  value  of  the  work  itself-— this  is  just  one

Professors  of  Law  in  Cornell  University. 

The  aim  of  this  work  is  to  present  a  collection  of  American  Cases  fully  developing  and 
illustrating  the  subject  of  Contract.  The  cases  have  been  selected  with  special  reference 
to  the  needs  of  law  students  and  are  intended  to  furnish  material  from  which  the  essential 
principles  of  the  Law  of  Contract  may  be  deduced.  The  work  is  designed  to  accompany 
any  of  the  standard  elementary  text-books  on  Contract,  or  to  be  used  in  connection  with

Dwight  Professor  of  Law  in  Columbia  University  School  of  Law. 

Prof.  Burdick's  reputation  as  a  law  teacher  and  legal  text-book  writer  is  too  well 
known  to  need  further  reference.  The  present  work  will  be  found  to  be  an  excellent  example 
of  the  art  of  Condensation.  It  embodies  a  masterly  summarizing  and  a  most  convenient 
arrangement  of  subjects.  It  is  not  merely  a  Monograph,  but  a  Hand-Book  of  the  Law  of 
Torts,   complete,   thorough,    and  above  all,  practical  for  the  lawyer's  actual  every-day  needs.

tion with  Burdick  on  Torts.    Third  Edition.

profitably  used  in  connection  with  that  text.  The  instructor  will  find  it  possible  to  take 
his  classes  over  the  entire  field  of  Torts,  by  means  of  this  collection,  within  the  period  usually 
allotted  to  this  important  subject.

Teachers  Wanted  '"mfsch„u 


ME  are  already  beginning  to  receive  inquiries  for  teachers  for  next  year. 
Last  year  we  had  over  four  times  as  many  calls  as  we  had  candidates 
for  good  positions  as  teachers  of  Shorthand.  These  positions  offered 
salaries  ranging  all  the  way  from  $75.00  to  $125.00  or  more  per  month.  The 
present  outlook  is  that  the  demand  will  be  still  greater  this  year. 

We  have  also  to  fill  several  places  in  large  Normal  Schools  where  University 
men  are  wanted  to  give  a  Teachers'  Training  Course  in  Shorthand.    These  places 
are  especially  desirable.    Our  Shorthand  Training  Course  fits  one  to  do  such  work. 
We  have  a 

Special  Proposition  to  Senior  Lits 

who  expect  to  teach  as  well  as  for  those  who  have  graduated  and  are  already 
teaching. 

Call  at  the  School  of  Shorthand  or  write  us  for  full  particulars  in  regard  to 
this  special  offer.

EVENT  AND  COMMENT 


During  the  past  few 
^^^^^OPMEHT  years  there  has  been  a 
?Iw  SCHOOL  slow  development  in 
the  Department  of 
Law  in  the  University  which  has  re- 
sulted in  a  condition  very  different 
from  that  which  obtained  ten  or  a  doz- 
en years  ago,  although  no  radical 
changes  have  taken  place  in  the  ad- 
ministrative policy.  C  The  require- 
ments for  admission  to  the  Law  School 
have  g^dually  been  increased,  from 
zero  to  the  standard  requirements  for 
admission  to  the  freshman  year  of 
colleges,  and  with  this  increase  in  the 
requirements,  as  announced,  there  has 
also  been  an  increase  in  the  strictness 
of  administering  these  requirements, 
so  that  the  Law  School  is  no  longer 
a  sanctuary  for  students  who  might 
be  unable  to  obtain  admission  to  the 
other  departments  of  the  University. 
A  further  development,  it  is  believed, 
will  result  within  a  few  years  in  the 
requirement  of  the  equivalent  of  one 
or  more  years  of  college  training  as 
a  prerequisite  for  entrance  to  the  Law 
Department.  C  A  dozen  years  ago, 
and  in  some  courses  within  a  much 
more  recent  period,  the  instruction  in 
the  Law  School  was  carried  on  by 
means  of  lectures  or  text  books ;  in  a 
few  instances  collections  of  adjudi- 
cated cases  were  used  sparingly  and 
mainly  with  a  view  to  illustrating  the 
principles  stated  by  the  lecturer  or 
author.    Now,  however,  the  study  of 


cases  as  the  chief  source  of  l^;al  prin- 
ciples and  as  the  basis  for  an  exam- 
ination of  the  historical  development 
of  the  law  has  been  adopted,  and  in 
nearly  every  course  given  in  the  De- 
partment, this  method  of  instruction 
is  followed,  usually,  however,  in  con- 
nection with  a  text  book  or  outline 
which  supplies  the  student  with  a  view 
of  the  subject  as  a  whole.  C  One  of 
the  difficulties  which  has  always  been 
experienced  in  the  administration  of 
the  Law  School,  has  been  the  large 
number  of  students  necessarily  sitting 
under  each  instructor.  Under  the  cir- 
cumstances, it  has,  of  course,  been  im- 
possible to  secure  a  sufficient  amount 
of  attention  to  each  individual  student, 
and  great  weight  has  therefore  been 
given  to  the  examinations  given  at  the 
end  of  each  semester.  In  order  to  in- 
sure a  sufficient  opportunity  for  the 
student  to  demonstrate  his  mastery  of 
the  subjects  pursued  by  him,  the  ex- 
amination period  has  been  lengthened, 
and  since  1906  the  two  weeks  at  the 
end  of  each  semester  have  been  de- 
voted to  examinations.  The  schedule 
of  examinations  is  so  arranged  that, 
with  few  exceptions,  no  student  will 
have  two  examinations  on  two  suc- 
ceeding days  and  the  period  for  each 
examination  has  been  lengthened  to 
three  hours,  thus  giving  an  opportun- 
ity to  cover  thoroughly  the  work  of 
the  semester.

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[March 


Several  changes  of 
SUMMER  SCHOOL  some  importance  have 
LENGTHENED      recently    been    made 

by  the  University 
authorities  in  the  arrangement  of  the 
year's  program,  especially  as  regards 
the  Summer  School.  Not  content  with 
lengthening  the  actual  cdlege  year  in 
some  cases  shortening  the  vacation 
period,  and  practically  adding  a  week 
to  the  second  semester,  the  Regents, 
upon  the  recommendation  of  the  Fac- 
ulty, have  also  increased  the  Summer 
School  term  to  a  period  of  eight  in- 
stead of  six  weeks.  This  action  has 
been  considered  for  some  years  and 
is  in  accordance  with  the  actual  de- 
mands upon  the  Summer  School 
C!  The  maximum  number  of  hours 
of  credit  which  can  be  obtained 
under  the  new  arrangement  has  been 
increased  from  six  to  eight  hours  for 
the  session,  together  with  a  reduction 
of  the  hours  of  recitation  each  week 
necessary  for  a  credit  in  any  one  sub- 
ject, from  five  to  four  hours.  This 
makes  possible  more  efficient  prepara- 
tion as  instructors  have  complained  in 
the  past  that  heretofore  the  short  and 
crowded  summer  term  has  not  given 
them  sufficient  time  to  teach  their  sub- 
jects thoroughly.  The  lengthening  of 
the  session  has  also  been  found  de- 
sirable in  that  the  eight  hours  credit 
equals  exactly  half  a  semester  and  the 
Master's  degree  in  graduate  work  will 
be  given  for  work  in  four  Summer 
Sessions.  Inasmuch  as  a  considerable 
proportion  of  'the  Sunmier  School  stu- 
dents are  teachers  who  are  pursuing 
graduate  work,  this  lengthening  of  the 
work  of  the  session  means  an  espe- 
cially valuable  reduction  of  time  re- 
quired to  take  the  degree.  In  proof 
of  this,  it  may  be  stated  that  of  the 
1,064  students  who  were  enrolled  last 
sunmier,  502  were  in  the  Literary  De- 
partment and  of  this  number  exactly 
50  per  cent  were  teachers,*  nearly  all 
of  whom  were  candidates  for  either 
the  Bachelor's  or  Master's  degree. 
C  In  addition  to  the  courses  which 


might  be  called  regular  given  four 
hours  a  week,  there  are  planned  other 
courses  which  will  net  the  student 
credit  of  three,  four,  and  six  hours 
each.  The  fees  of  former  years  will 
be  increased  25  per  cent  in  order  to 
conduct  the  session  under  the  new 
plan,  the  student  now  paying  $20. 
This  charge  is  reasonable,  however, 
especially  in  view  of  the  fees  at  Chi- 
cago, Columbia,  and  Cornell,  where 
they  are  considerably  higher  in  pro- 
portion to  the  number  of  weeks  during 
which  instruction  is  given.  The  new 
rules  will  not  apply  to  the  Medical 
Department,  where  there  is  no  real 
object  for  lengthening  the  Summer 
Session,  since  the  summer  work  is 
largely  carried  on  by  practicing  physi- 
cians who  wish  to  pursue  advanced 
work.  The  eight  weeks'  session  has 
been  in  force  for  some  time  in  the 
Law  Department. 

Under     the     present 

EXPERIMENT  ^^^  matter  of  student 
election  of  studies,  the 
selection  of  a  proper  program  for  the 
four  years'  college  course  is  or  should 
be  a  vital  question  to  every  student. 
Ordinarily,  it  must  be  acknowledged, 
the  matter  is  not  taken  seriously 
enough.  Many  do  not  realize  the  far- 
reaching  character  of  the  problem  until 
too  late,  and  the  possible  coherent  and 
definite  college  course,  leading  to  some 
definite  and  orderly  end,  has  been  sac- 
rificed and  the  four  years  arc  wasted 
relatively,  sometimes  absolutely  as  far 
as  practical  results  are  concerned,  while 
the  problematical  veneer  of  culture 
which  such  a  student  has  acquired  is 
useless  without  the  more  solid  require- 
ments which  should  of  necessity  ac- 
company and  illuminate  it.  C  With 
the  evident  purpose  of  determining 
just  how  seriously  the  average  first- 
year  student  views  his  college  course, 
and  also  to  attempt  to  inspire  him 
through  a  glimpse  of  a  logical  and 
consistent  course,  Professor  Fred  N.

EVENT  AND  COMMENT

Scott,  of  the    Rhetoric    Department, 
asked  recently  for  a  series  of  elections 
for  the  four  years  course,  from  his 
freshman  class  in  rhetoric.  Nearly  five 
hundred  such  tentative  elections  were 
submitted.  While  it  is  unlikely  that  the 
courses  as  outlined  will  be  pursued  in 
all  cases,  they  cannot  fail  to  have  their 
influence,  and  the  data  furnished  are 
of  real  interest.    C  As  compared  with 
the  modem  languages,  the  dead  lan- 
guages are  unpopular,  a  result  which 
would  not  be  unexpected.    Of  the  416 
freshmen,  whose  reports  were  studied, 
only  745%  expect  to  study  Greek,  the 
proportion  remaining  about  the  same 
during  the  four  years.    Eighteen  per 
cent  are  taking  Latin,  alti^ough  the 
proportion  decreases  to  11.7%  in  the 
senior  year.    In  contrast  to  this  is  the 
large    number    taking    modem    lan- 
guages.    Almost  exactly  half  of  the 
class  are  taking  French,  the  majority 
of    whom    expect    to    pursue    these 
studies  till  the  last  semester  of  the 
senior  year,  when  the  percentage  drops 
abruptly  to  nine.     German    is    even 
more  popular,  for  53.6%  are  now  en- 
gaged in  the  study  of  it    A  gradual 
decrease  is  noted  till  the  fourth  year, 
when  28.8%  of  the  original  number 
will  continue  it.    Rhetoric  is  required 
of  all  freshmen  during  the  first  year 
and  36.5%  intend  to  continue  during 
their    sophomore    year.     Economics, 
which  cannot  be  elected  the  first  year, 
has  only  6%  till  the  third  year,  when 
it  rises  suddenly  to  42%.     About  a 
fifth  of  the  class  intends  to  study  phil- 
osophy   throughout    the    last    three 
years.     Education  is  also  studied  by 
about  one-fifth  of  the  class  during  the 
last  two  years.    Of  the  sciences  chem- 
istry proves  the  most  popular.    Its  stu- 
dents vary  in  number  from  17%  to 
7%.    Physics  follows  with  i6fo  dur- 
ing the  second  year.    Biology  claims 
few  after  the  first  year  when  it  is 
elected  by  11^  of  the  class.    Mathe- 
matics drops  steadily  from  46.69^  in 
the  first  semester  to  7.9%  in  the  sec- 
ond half  of  the  senior  year.

with  an  honest  heart 
"well  done."  Such  a  thumb-in-arm- 
hole  attitude  presupposes  of  course  an 
intimate  and  thorough  recognition  of 
whatever  limitations  may  lie  inherent 
in  the  object  of  one's  praise.  But 
when  the  boundaries  are  clearly  de- 
fined, and  the  song,  picture,  book, 
play,  whatever  it  may  be,  fills  definitely 
the  place  prepared  for  it— clear  to  the 
edge, — ^then  one  can  express  one's  sat- 
isfaction with  a  calm  soul  and  spirit 
at  rest  as  regards  the  final  happiness 
of  this  old  world.  C  These  rather 
fulsome  remarks  are  apropos  of 
"Michigenda,"  the  comic  opera  re- 
cently written  and  produced  by  stu- 
dents of  the  University  under  the  aus- 
pices of  the  Michigan  Union.  With  no 
mental  reservations,  it  was  good.  We 
were  all  so  well  aware  of  the  inevi- 
table limitations  which  might  work 
against  the  effectiveness  of  an  opera 
written  and  presented  by  students 
that  we  were  careful  not  to  set  our 
hopes  too  high.  Therefore  it  is  in 
that  respect  that  our  agreeable  dis- 
appointment became  a  great  pleasure, 
for  from  almost  every  point  of  view 
Michigenda  was  better  than  could  be 
expected.  Even  the  chorus  "girls," 
which  near  view  revealed  as  paradox- 
ical beings  with  heavy  voices  and  large 
extremities,  given  the  softening  effect 
of  a  certain  distance,  were  even  pret- 
ty, and  they  certainly  comported  them- 
selves after  the  fashion  of  model  chor- 
us girls.  C  With  the  exception  of 
Roy  D.  Welch,  '09,  who,  in  addition 
to  writing  all  the  music,  save  two 
songs,  fumished  the  plot,  trained  the 
chorus  and  directed  the  orchestra,  and 
to  whom  Michigenda's  success  was  in 
no  small  way  a  personal  tritmiph, 
there  is  no  one  to  whom  especial  cred- 
it can  be  given.  The  student  commit- 
tee who  had  the  whole  opera  in  diarge 
was  characterized  by  the  President  of 
the  Union  as  the  best  organized  and

most  highly  efficient  student  committee 
that  has  been  seen  on  the  Campus  for 
many  years.  The  names  of  the  cast, 
and  the  committee  are  given  else- 
where. Everyone  connected  with 
Michigenda  "took  hold"  with  that  en- 
thusiastic interest  and  energy  which 
could  alone  guarantee  such  great  suc- 
cess as  the  final  production  attained. 
Twelve  times  the  curtain  was  raised 
at  the  final  evening  performance,  fol- 
lowing the  closing  tableau;  the  com- 
poser, the  author,  Donald  Haines,  '09, 
and  the  stage  director,  William  J. 
Scanlon,  of  Detroit,  were  also  sum- 
moned, and  greeted  with  enthusiasm, 
while  the  chorus  was  compelled  to  re- 
peat the  songs.  C  Not  only  are  the 
individuals  responsible  for  this  success 
to  be  congratulated,  however,  but  the 
organization  which  inspired  and  fos- 
tered the  idea,  the  Michigan  Union, 
must  also  share  in  the  congratulation, 
since  without  its  powerful  influence 
and  financial  backing  such  an  under- 
taking would  have  been  impossible.  As 
in  many  other  branches  of  college  ac- 
tivity the  Union  has  again  proved  a 
pioneer,  and  has  furnished  another 
and  significant  expression  for  under- 
graduate life.  Further,  it  can  maintain 
the  tradition  now  that  it  has  establish- 
ed the  precedent  and  while  we  cannot 
always  hope  to  equal  the  present  per- 
formance, it  will  prove  an  inspiration 
for  the  future.  The  Union's  reward 
however  has  been  substantial,  and 
amounts  to  $2,000,  which  will  be 
placed  in  the  Club  House  fund.  A 
more  detailed  account  of  Michigenda 
will  be  found  on  another  page. 


In    addition    to    the 
THE  SCHOOL      success  of  Michigcu- 
FOR  SCANDAL    da,  we  have  to  chron- 
icle a  most  success- 
ful and  pleasing  revival  of  Sheridan's 
great  comedy.  The  School  for  Scan- 
dal, by  Mrs.  William  Hofmann  of  the 
University  School  of  Music,  under  the 
auspices  of  the  Woman's  League  of 


the  University.  The  play,  as  presented, 
proved  to  be  one  of  die  best,  if  not 
the  best,  amateur  comedy  which  has 
been  given  in  Ann  Arbor  for  many 
years.  This  can  be  said,  however, 
with  no  invidious  distinction  as  re- 
gards the  Comedy  Club,  since  success 
was  to  be  expected,  not  only  by  reason 
of  the  experience  of  the  cast,  but  also 
the  especial  suitability  of  this  play  for 
such  a  presentation,  requiring  far  less 
adaptation  than  the  recent  worthy  ex- 
periment tried  by  the  Comedy  Club  in 
Farquhar's  "Recruiting  Officer."  It 
was  true  also  that  better  material  was 
available,  for  several  instructors  in  the 
University  and  the  School  of  Music 
were  included,  who  had  had  in  most 
cases  far  more  experience  than  the 
average  member  of  the  Comedy  Club. 
Mrs.  Hofmann,  who  took  the  part  of 
Lady  Teazle,  and  trained  the  cast,  has 
moreover  been  a  member  of  Ada  Re- 
han's  Company,  and  coached  the  play 
most  effectively.  C  By  way  of  criti- 
cism it  might  be  suggested  that  not 
all  the  parts  were  happily  chosen,  and 
that  in  a  few  cases  the  impersonations 
bordered  upon  the  grotesque  in  de- 
fiance of  the  more  delicate  humor  of 
Sheridan.  But  the  lines  were  taken 
most  intelligently  and  conscientiously 
and  although  the  play  was  allowed 
to  drag  somewhat  and  the  waits 
between  the  acts  were  rather  long, 
the  play  showed  that  no  little  at- 
tention had  been  paid  to  the  stage  me- 
chanics. The  costumes  were,  on  the 
whole,  very  good  and  made  attractive 
pictures.  Mrs.  Hofmann,  as  was  to 
be  expected,  showed  great  finish  in 
the  part  of  Lady  Teazle,  and  was  in- 
disputably the  star.  Mr.  Kenyon,  of 
the  French  Department,  of  the  Uni- 
versity, however  was  also  especially 
happy  as  Sir  Oliver  Surface.  Roy  D. 
Welch,  the  author  of  the  music  of 
Michigenda,  was  very  convincing  as 
Joseph  Surface,  succeeding  well  in  a 
difficult  role,  while  Earle  Killeen  was 
exactly  suited  in  the  part  of  Charles 
Surface  and  was  especially  happy  in

THi  MiCHi.  accomplishing  every- 
CAN  UNION  thing  which  those  in- 
terested hope  to  see 
eventually  in  the  Michigan  Union, 
nevertheless  after  five  months'  trial 
the  present  Club  House  has  already 
justified  its  existence  and  promises  an 
eventual  fulfillment  of  the  hopes  for 
a  greater  Michigan  Union.  The  Club 
House  had  been  opened  but  six  weeks 
when  the  report  made  to  the  Board  of 
Directors  showed  that  the  restaurant 
and  other  activities  were  practically 
upon  a  self-supporting  basis,  when  all 
the  dinners  and  banquets  which  were 
served  under  the  auspices  of  the  Un- 
ion were  considered.  This  condition 
is  apparently  continuing.  The  restau- 
rant is  keeping  both  ends  in  sight  at 
least,  and  if  not  making  money,  is  not 


losing.  It  was  natural,  and  in  fact  it 
was  expected  by  the  Directors,  that 
the  restaurant  would  become  the  most 
popular  feature,  and  so  it  proved  im- 
mediately. The  absence  of  adequate 
accommodations  in  Ann  Arbor  for  en- 
tertaining guests,  and  for  an  occasion- 
al meal  at  some  restaurant,  made  the 
Union  in  this  respect,  fill  a  long  felt 
want.  In  addition  however,  the  din- 
ing-room has  been  made  accessible 
and  so  attractive  that  it  is  universally 
considered  the  most  attractive  place  in 
Ann  Arbor  with  its  decorations  in 
gold  and  brown,  fitted  with  mission 
furniture  throughout,  a  scheme  which 
has  in  part  been  consistently  followed 
throughout  the  whole  building.  C  This 
refining  influence  which  such  a  build- 
ing with  attractive  and  artistic  furn- 
ishings must  exercise  over  all  who 
come  in  contact  with  it,  is  not  the 
least  of  the  advantages  offered  by  the 
Club  House.  The  rehabilitation  of 
the  old  house  was  carried  out  consist- 
ently and  with  desire  not  only  to  make 
it  practicable,  but  to  serve  as  an  ex- 
ample of  what  might  be  accomplished 
in  the  changing  and  decoration  of  an 
old  house  for  such  a  purpose.  This 
work  was  almost  entirely  under  the 
charge  of  Professor  Lorch  of  the  new 
Department  of  Architecture  in  the  Un- 
iversity, who  superintended  the  alter- 
ations and  the  decorations  of  the  new 
house.  C  The  whole  Club  was  the 
result  of  an  effort  to  make  possible 
a  bright  spot  in  what  must  necessarily 
be  the  rather  barren  life  of  many  stu- 
dents. As  yet,  the  Directors  must 
acknowledge  partial  failure  in  the  ful- 
fillment of  their  hopes  in  this  regard. 
The  students  have  not  seized  as  eag- 
erly as  it  was  hoped,  the  opportunity 
offered,  although  the  lack  of  interest 
is  quite  explicable.  Even  the  dues, 
$2.50,  placed  purposely  as  low  as  pos- 
sible, are  in  some  cases  too  much  for 
the  average  student.  He  must  see  the 
benefits  which  will  accrue  in  concrete 
form  before  he  will  be  willing  to  give 
financial    support.      More    students.

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[March 


however,  are  undoubtedly  becoming 
convinced  every  day  and  it  is  well  in 
the  range  of  possibility  that  the  Union 
will  see  from  1,500  to  2,000  members 
the  following  year.  It  is,  perhaps, 
early  to  say  that  the  Union  has  become 
a  permanent  success,  but  the  encour- 
aging interest  which  is  taken  in  many 
quarters  and  which  is  bound  to  spread 
will  have  its  effect  on  that  great  mass 
of  students  for  whom  it  is  designed. 
Hardly  an  evening  passes  without  one 
or  more  class  and  society  banquets 
and  smokers.  On  these  occasions  the 
Club  House  is  freely  thrown  open  to 
every  person,  whether  a  member  of 
the  Union,  or  not,  and  in  this  way  the 
comforts  and  attractiveness  of  the 
Club  House  are  advertised  with  evi- 
dent effect.  Indeed  the  facilities  of- 
fered these  banquets  and  dinners  have 
proved  so  attractive,  that  already  an 
addition  to  the  present  Club  House 
for  holding  these  functions  is  becom- 
ing necessary. 


A  recent  discussion 
THB  STUDBNT  in  the  Michigan  Daily 
COUNCIL  leads    us    to    believe 

that  the  Student 
Council  is  impairing  its  own  efficiency 
by  taking  itself  too  seriously.  While, 
of  course,  this  is  a  fault  much  easier 
to  condone  than  would  be  a  failure  on 
the  part  of  the  Council  to  rise  to  its 
responsibilities,  nevertheless  this  stu- 
dent legislature  seems  to  need  some 
proper  corrective  influence,  such  as  a 
definite  student  opinion  to  prevent  its 
becoming  too  detached  and  self-suffi- 
cient and  in  so  far  ineffective.  It  is 
apparently  in  recognition  of  this  how- 
ever, that  the  Council  has  amended 
its  constitution  and  it  was  in  edi- 
torial discussion  of  some  of  the  var- 
ious provisions  that  the  Daily,  in  a 
recent  number,  suggested  some  friend- 
ly criticisms.  C  The  two  points, 
under  especial  discussion,  were  fram- 
ed in  two  questions.  First,  what  causes 
lie  behind  the  provision  in  the  new 


constitution  that  no  one  may  attend 
Council  meetings,  who  is  not  a  mem- 
ber, except  by  invitation  of  the  pres- 
ident. In  the  second  place,  the  Daily 
asked  information  as  to  why  the  pres- 
ident is  to  be  elected  at  the  middle  of 
the  year  just  two  weeks  prior  to  the 
time  when  half  of  the  body  goes  out 
of  office,  thus  practically  disfranchis- 
ing the  new  members  who  take  their 
place.  To  these  criticisms  the  Publici- 
ty Committee.of  the  Council  answered 
in  a  long  letter,  published  in  the  Daily 
for  Feb.  16.  In  the  first  place,  the 
committee  stated  that  the  amendments 
in  question  were  designed  to  facilitate 
a  students'  appearance  before  the 
Council.  The  permission  of  the  Pres- 
ident was  deemed  desirable  in  order 
to  prevent  too  great  a  number  of  stu- 
dents appearing  in  one  evening.  The 
amendments  were  not  designed  to 
make  the  Council  meetings  secret,  nor 
to  prevent  any  student  from  present- 
ing his  views.  The  Council  however 
did  not  consider  itself  analogous  to  a 
public  legislature,  but  rather  to  a  com- 
mittee of  such  a  legislature,  whose  de- 
liberations are  never  public  nor  open 
to  persons  not  members.  As  for  its 
failure  to  admit  students  to  the  meet- 
ing of  the  Council,  two  reasons  were 
advanced.  In  the  first  place,  the  Coun- 
cil room  in  the  Union  was  hardly  large 
enough  for  the  members  of  the  Coun- 
cil alone,  and  if  the  public  were  ad- 
mitted, the  Council  would  soon  become 
converted  into  a  political  organization 
in  which  the  discussions  would  tend 
to  become  spectacular.  It  was  for 
the  express  purpose  of  giving  proper 
information  to  the  student  body  that 
the  Publicity  Committee  of  the  Stu- 
dent Council  was  established.  C  As 
regards  the  choice  of  election,  the  rea- 
sons advanced  by  the  Council  were 
sound.  The  old  members  of  the  Coun- 
cil, it  was  felt,  were  the  only  ones  fa- 
miliar with  the  actual  capacities  of 
the  candidates,  and  at  the  risk  of  pos- 
sible unfairness  to  new  members,  it 
was  felt  that  the  interest  of  the  Coiin-

cil,  as  a  whole,  should  be  placed  above 
this  slight  privilege,  which  the  new 
members  of  the  Council  might  claim, 
— ^to  vote  for  their  leader  for  one  se- 
mester— ^thus  placing  the  election  upon 
the  basis  of  fairness,  intelligence,  and 
a  recognition  of  the  qualifications  of 
the  candidates.  The  newly  elected 
members,  however,  still  maintain  their 
franchise  in  regard  to  the  other  offi- 
cers of  the  Council.  C  In  reply  to 
this  statement  of  the  Publicity  Com- 
mittee of  the  Council,  the  Daily  came 
forth  with  an  editorial  which  in  pic- 
turesque phrase  considered  this  de- 
fence "to  make  its  way  by  the  trick 
of  constantly  accelerated  motion  over 
an  area  of  very  thin  ice."  The  Daily 
immediately  pidced  a  flaw  in  the  Coun- 
cil's argument  in  considering  itself  a 
committee  of  a  legislature,  rather  than 
a  legislative  body,  asking  that  if  the 
Council  is  such  a  committee  and  the 
students  are  the  people,  where  shall 
they  find  the  legislature.  The  writer 
of  the  editorial  further  stated  that  the 
concise  statements  of  the  actions  of 
the  Council  furnished  by  the  Publicity 
Committee  were  hardly  sufficient  to 
keep  alive  the  general  interest  of  the 
student  body  in  the  Council,  and  cited 
as  an  example  the  full  printed  reports 
of  the  National  Congress.  The  editor- 
ial further  expressed  itself: 

•While  the  Council  is  a  representative 
legislature  it  should  be  open  to  the  influ- 
ence of  the  students,  and  to  the  criticisms 
and  suggestions  of  the  press  which  is  their 
only  popular  and  accessible  medium  of  ex- 
pression. 'Student  sentiment  always  will 
regulate  the  actions  of  the  council.'  But 
student  sentiment  must  have  food  to  grow 
on.  The  average  student  scarcelv  knows 
of  the  council's  existence.  The  Daily,  which 
probably  reads  its  own  copy  much  more 
carefully  than  anyone  else  reads  its  print, 
has  never  during  the  past  semester  known 
enough  about  the  plans  of  the  council  to 
be  able  to  evolve  a  sentiment  of  any  kind. 
The  bare  subjects  up  for  discussion  it  has 
been  told,  sometimes;  but  of  proposed 
methods  of  treatment,  of  particular  alter- 
natives which  contended  for  adoption,  or 
of  preference  for  one  policy  above  another, 
oar  ignorance  has  been  complete." 


In  this  natter  of  the 
THE  COUNCIL'S  Council  and  publicity, 
DILEMMA  we    are    inclined    to 

agree  with  the  criti- 
cism of  the  Daily,  although  we  also 
have  a  great  portion  of  sympathy  for 
the  Council.  It  is  not  difficult  to  con- 
ceive how  too  much  publicity  would 
neutralize  entirely  the  good  work  of 
the  Council,  but  the  interest  and  sup- 
port of  the  student  body  is  even  more 
vital  to  its  effectiveness.  To  bar  the 
Council's  doors  entirely  to  newspaper 
men  would  be  unfortunate.  There  is 
always  danger  that  a  body  such  as  the 
Council  will  lose  tiie  stimulus  of  pop- 
ular opinion  if  it  withdraw  itself  too 
completely  from  public  criticism.  It 
is  very  possible,  truly,  that  the  Coun- 
cil would  be  open  to  serious  misrep- 
resentation if  the  public  and  reporters 
were  admitted  generally,  yet  it  is  to 
be  feared  that  their  practical  exclusion 
would  prove  even  more  disastrous. 
The  Student  Council  must  prove  it- 
self and  it  must  prove  itself  in  storm 
and  stress  rather  than  in  the  cloistered 
seclusidn  which  it  has  apparently 
been  inclined  to  favor.  C  The  prol>- 
lem,  as  presented,  is  indeed  a  difficult 
one  for  solution.  On  the  one  hand 
there  are  the  real  dangers  of  too  free 
discussion,  misrepresentation,  and  a 
not  unnatural  tendency  to  do  the  spec- 
tacular rather  than  the  wise  thing,  and 
on  the  other  hand,  the  even  more  ser- 
ious risk  of  losing  touch  with  the  stu- 
dent and  Faculty  bodies,  and  losing 
their  support  through  lack  of  inter- 
est. For  above  all  things,  the  Coun- 
cil needs  the  interest  of  the  student 
body,  otherwise  it  cannot,  nor  has  it 
a  right,  to  live.  C  Two  possible  ways 
might  be  suggested  out  of  the  dilem- 
ma. The  activities  of  the  press  com- 
mittee might  be  increased  and  the  re- 
ports given  out  much  more  in  detail. 
It  seems  to  be  a  general  opinion  that 
we  have  too  little  real  knowledge  of 
what  the  Council  is  attempting,  how- 
ever much  we  may  be  in  sympathy 
with  its  work  and  its  ideals.    But  this

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[March 


might  not  be  enough.  There  should 
be  general  discussion.  Newspaper 
men,  under  certain  restrictions,  should 
also  be  admitted.  We  acknowledge 
at  once  the  impossibility  of  the  ordi- 
nary "cub"  student  reporter,  who  in 
many  cases  has  hardly  acquired  the 
correct  perspective  in  college  life  to 
discuss  properly  the  actions  of  such 
a  body  as  the  Council,  but  it  might 
be  possible  and  desirable  for  the 
Council  to  admit  certain  of  the  edi- 
tors or  editorial  writers  of  the  Daily 
to  its  deliberations.  Such  a  person, 
if  sufficiently  responsible  however 
should  be  given  free  reign  in  the  mat- 
ter of  discussion.  In  that  way  alone 
will  it  be  possible  to  maintain  that 
balance  and  interest  which  are  vitally 
necessary  to  the  effectiveness  of  this 
organization. 

MICHIGENDA 

Perhaps  the  most  finished  and  beau- 
tiful enterprise  ever  undertaken  by 
students  at  the  University,  at  least 
on  such  a  scale,  was  the  opera  "Mich- 
igenda,"  given  under  the  auspices  of 
the  Michigan  Union  February  26  to 
29,  in  the  new  Whitney  Theatre  in 
Ann  Arbor. 

As  was  natural,  the  whole  opera 
centered  about  the  music  which  was 
of  a  surprisingly  high  quality  and 
came  very  near,  is  not  entirely,  in 
some  cases,  escaping  the  convention- 
alities of  the  ordinary  light  opera. 
With  the  exception  of  two  songs,  the 
music  was  written  by  Roy  Dickinson 
Welch,  '09,  who  directed  the  perform- 
ance. The  dialogue  was  written  by 
Donald  Haines,  '09.  The  solo  and 
finale  in  the  first  act,  "When  Night 
Falls,  Dear,"  the  song  "I  am  Awfully 
Glad  to  be  Popular."  The  double  oc- 
tette, "When  In  Love"  and  the  finale 
in  the  second  act,  "Give  Us  This 
Land,"  (which,  of  course,  was  no  oth- 
er than  "Michigenda"),  may  be  sing- 
led out  as  perhaps  the  most  effective 
selections   in   the   music.     The   new 


Michigan  song,  "Alma  Mater,"  which 
was  sung  at  the  beginning  of  the  third 
act,  seems  destined  to  become  one  of 
the  classical  Michigan  songs. 

The  work  of  the  chorus  requires  es- 
pecial mention.  Exceedingly  well 
drilled  it  performed  intricate  dances 
and  evolutions  with  a  precision  and 
certainty  which  came  of  arduous  prac- 
tice and  insured  effectiveness  to  the 
many  beautiful  stage  pictures  which 
had  been  arranged  by  the  stage  mana- 
ger. This  was  evident  in  the  ensem- 
bles of  each  act,  especially  in  the  final 
tableaux  of  the  second  and  third  acts, 
which  were  heightened  by  the  most 
beautiful  and  effective  portions  of  the 
Michigenda  music.  The  choruses  were 
drilled  by  professionals  from  Detroit 
The  only  possible  note  of  criticism 
may  be  found  in  the  lack  of  voices 
adequate  for  some  of  the  music,  on 
the  part  of  certain  of  the  soloists,  al- 
though this  was  by  no  means  true  in 
all  cases. 

As  the  music  was  clever  and  tune- 
ful, so  was  the  libretto  of  Michigenda 
bright  and  full  of  action,  and  the  in- 
troduction of  a  party  of  prominent 
Faculty  members,  many  of  whom 
were  easily  recognizable,  added  a 
great  deal  to  its  general  effectiveness. 
Several  of  the  imitations  were  espec- 
ially realistic,  notably  those  of  Dr.  R. 
M.  Wenley,  Professor  A.  L.  Cross, 
Professor  J.  B.  Davis,  and  Mr.  G.  L. 
Hamilton. 

The  plot  deals  with  the  efforts  of  a 
party  of  students  to  keep  Mr.  Money- 
feller,  who  is  fabulously  rich,  from 
discovering  that  his  nephew  Jack,  to 
whom  he  had  granted  a  generous  al- 
lowance, was  not  a  member  of  the 
Faculty.  Mr.  Moneyfeller  decides  to 
visit  the  University  at  an  inopportune 
time  and  falls  into  a  series  of  exper- 
iences in  Sleepy  Hollow  from  which 
he  emerges  with  a  shorn  head.  The 
second  act  takes  place  in  front  of  Un- 
iversity Hall,  where  it  is  decided  to 
imprison  the  Faculty  in  the  tunnels 
beneath  the  Campus  until  Moneyfeller

leaves  town.  The  Faculty  are  invited 
to  enter  by  an  astrologer  and  obey 
readily.  The  hot  air  generated  by  the 
Department  of  Philosophy  causes  an 
explosion.  Meanwhile,  the  powers  of 
an  Aladdin's  lamp,  which  has  been 
left  behind  by  "Uncle  Jimmie,"  were 
inadvertently  tried  and  the  inevitable 
genie  appeared  with  fire  and  brim- 
stone, to  the  great  consternation  of 
the  students.  His  arrival,  however, 
was  very  opportune  for  the  students 
who  felt  that  Ann  Arbor  was  no  place 
for  them  with  a  dead  Faculty  on  their 
hands.  Therefore,  they  follow  the 
genie's  lead  to  the  fabled  land  of 
Michigenda,  "where  there  are  no 
plucks  and  cons,"  where  the  Univer- 
sity is  "all  students  and  no  Faculty," 
and  where  "Granger's"  is  open  six 
nights  a  week.  The  third  act  dis- 
closes Michigenda.  Jack  is  elected 
king,  dons  an  impressive  court  cos- 
tume and  discusses  the  advisability  of 
organizing  a  Board  of  Control  to  take 
care  of  the  Genie.  The  Faculty,  how- 
ever, are  reported  as  not  dead  and 
following  two  late  arrivals  into  the 
mysterious  land,  plead  with  the 
students  to  return,  alleging  that  a  Un- 
iversity without  students  has  some  dis- 
advantages. So  the  king  adjourns  the 
court  sine  die,  and  upon  promise  of 
the  Faculty  that  the  students  shall 
have  unlimited  bolting  privileges,  that 
they  shall  sit  with  the  University  Sen- 
ate, that  four  years  shall  be  allowed 
to  work  off  "cons,"  and  that  pensions 
shall  be  granted  students  on  proba- 
tion, the  students  return  from  Mich- 
igenda.

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[March 


written  especially  for  the  occasion  by 
Professor  William  Rowland  of  the 
University  School  of  Music,  entitled 
"Rejoice  in  the  Lord,"  and  delivered 
by  a  special  chorus  of  fifty  voices.  On 
Tuesday,  the  eleventh,  the  Board  of 
Trustees  of  the  Association  tendered 
a  reception  to  the  alumni.  Faculty, 
students  and  friends  at  Newberry 
Hall,  at  which  a  large  number  were 
present.  Dr.  Angell,  and  the  mem- 
bers of  the  Board  of  Trustees  with 
their  wives,  formed  the  receiving  line. 
The  Students'  Christian  Association 
was  founded  by  a  number  of  the 
strong  men  of  the  Faculty  and  stu- 
dents, as  far  back  as  1847,  ^  *c  "Un- 
ion Missionary  Society  of  Inquiry." 
The  Students'  Christian  Association, 
as  such,  however,  came  into  being 
over  ten  years  later,  in  January,  1858 ; 
the  first  organization  of  its  kind  in 
any  institution  of  learning  in  the 
country.  The  meetings  were  held  at 
first  in  a  room  on  the  fourth  story  of 
the  old  south  college,  which  is  now 
the  south  wing  of  University  Hall. 
But  soon  after  the  coming  of  Presi- 
dent Haven  in  1863,  the  Association 
was  given  a  home  in  a  room  that  was 
especially  fitted  up  for  this  purpose 
on  the  first  floor  of  the  same  build- 
ing, directly  opposite  the  present  office 
of  the  Treasurer  of  the  University. 
Here  the  meetings  continued  to  be 
held  until  Newberry  Hall  was  opened. 
At  the  quarter  centennial  in  1883,  ^^" 
pression  was  given  to  the  feeling  that 
the  Association  needed  a  home  of  its 
own  suitable  for  its  purposes.  A 
movement  to  provide  such  a  home 
sprang  out  of  this  meeting,  and  un- 
der the  enthusiastic  leadership  of  Mr. 
A.  E.  Jennings  of  the  class  of  '89,  cul- 
minated in  the  dedication  on  June  30, 
189 1,  of  the  beautiful  building  known 
as  Newberry  Hall.  This  building  was 
made  possible  through  the  generosity 
of  Mrs.  Helen  H.  Newberry  of  De- 
troit and  it  was  named  in  honor  of  her 
deceased  husband,  the  Hon.  Jolm  S. 
Newberry  of  the  class  of  1847. 


In  1904  the  Young  Men's  Christian 
Association  which  was  founded  in 
1895  ^^d  the  Young  Women's  Chris- 
tian Association,  which  was  founded 
in  1901  united,  forming  with  the  old 
Students'  Christian  Association  a  new 
organization,  the  purposes  of  the 
amalgamation  being  to  secure  great- 
er efficiency  and  to  avoid  a  duplicating 
of  effort.  The  old  name.  Students' 
Christian  Association  has  been  retain- 
ed for  the  general  organization.  The 
work  for  women  is  carried  on  in  New- 
berry Hall  and  is  a  part  of  the  Nation- 
al Young  Women's  Christian  Asso- 
ciation, and  the  work  for  men  in  Mc- 
Millan Hall,  which  is  likewise  a  part 
of  the  general  Young  Men's  Chris- 
tian Association.  Both  divisions  of 
the  work  maintain  separate  secretaries 
and  the  interests  of  the  general  asso- 
ciation, and  especiaHy  the  financial  and 
business  interests  are  looked  after  by 
the  Graduate  Secretary.  Walter  D. 
Freyburger,  '08,  Decatur,  111.,  is  Pres- 
ident of  the  General  organization.  The

In  the  souvenir  program  published 
and  distributed  by  the  Association  at 
its  Anniversary  meetings,  a  list  of  the 
addresses  and  occupations  of  its  for- 
mer Presidents  was  given.  An  analysis 
shows  some  interesting  facts.  A.  K. 
Spence,  A.B.  '58,  A.M.  '61,  was  the 
first  president.  Mr.  Spence  was  Pro- 
fessor in  Fisk  University  from  1870 
until  his  death  in  1900.  Of  a  tot^ 
number  of  seventy-six  who  have  been 
executive  officers,  thirteen  entered  the 
ministry,  15  became  professors,  and 
S  engaged  in  the  work  of  other 
Christian  Associations.  Of  those  who 
have  been  or  still  are  ministers,  6  are 
Presbyterians,  3  Unitarians,  3  Con- 
gregationalists,  i  a  Baptist,  and  i  a 
Methodist.  Three  of  the  ex-Presi- 
dents are  now  members  of  the  Fac- 
ulty of  the  University.  Seven  have 
become  doctors  and  of  this  number  3 
are  practicing  as  missionaries  in 
China,  India  and  Turkey.  Six  are 
now  lawyers  and  11  are  engaged  in 
various  forms  of  business.  Since 
leaving  the  University  10  of  the  ex- 
presidents  have  died. 

Under  this  new  organization  and 
with  such  an  inspiring  record  of  half 
a  century's  life  and  work,  the  Stu- 
dents'   Christian    Association    enters 


upon  a  new  era  with  the  hope  and 
purpose  of  increasing  its  influence  and 
extending  its  activities  for  the  social 
and  religious  well-being  of  the  stu- 
dent community.  To  make  this  hope 
real  and  to  achieve  this  purpose  its 
members  must  be  fired  with  the  same 
spirit  of  consecration  that  animated 
the  founders  of  this  Association  fifty 
years  ago. 

THE  NEW  CHEMISTRY  BUILDING 

At  the  January,  meeting  of  the  Re- 
gents of  the  University  of  Michigan, 
architects  were  authorized  to  draw  up 
in  detail  plans  for  a  new  building  for 
the  Department  of  Chemistry.  The 
structure,  which  will  have  four  stories 
and  including  a  basement  is  to  have  a 
front  of  270  feet,  facing  the  West,  on 
the  proposed  Mall,  which  is  to  separate 
it  from  the  future  Science  Build- 
ing; this  Mall  will  be  a  wide  drive- 
way extending  from  North  Univer- 
sity avenue  to  the  neighborhood  of 
the  Library.  This  arrangement  will 
bring  the  new  .  Chemical  Building 
about  where  the  present  Dental 
Building  stands. 

It  will  be  of  brick  with  stone  trim- 
mings and  interior  of  reinforced  con- 
struction throughout.  There  are  to 
be  two  interior  courts  separated  by 
a  crossbar  connecting  opposite  sides 
of  the  building. 

The  cost  complete  will  probably  be 
$275,000,  as  the  architects  have  been 
instructed  to  keep  the  plans  within 
that  amount.  It  is  hoped  that  the 
drawings  may  be  completed  and  the 
contract  awarded  so  that  the  con- 
struction can  be  begun  in  May  and 
completed  by  October  i,  1909,  when 
the  University  opens. 

The  building  is  planned  to  accom- 
modate and  properly  take  care  of  more 
than  twice  the  amount  of  students  in 
chemistry  in  the  University  at  present. 
It  will  include  two  large  laboratories 
for  general  chemistry,  one  large  lab- 
oratory for  qualitative  analysis,  one

EVENT  IN  BRIEF 


241 


At  a  recent  meeting  of  the 
Board  in  Control  of  Athletics,  which 
met  Friday,  Feb.  28,  it  was  decided 
to  allow  Manager  Baird  to  schedule 
eight  games  for  the  football  team  next 
fall.  The  resolution,  as  passed,  stated 
that  "Manager  Baird  may  schedule 
a  game  for  each  Saturday  from  the 
opening  football  game  to  the  Satur- 
day prior  to  the  Thanksgiving  Day." 
The  open  dates  in  the  series  have  not 
as  yet  been  filled. 

In  a  recent  interview  Superinten- 
dent Gilmorc  of  the  University  Hos- 
pital, who  has  resigned  to  accept  a 
similar  position  at  Northwestern  Un- 
iversity Hospital,  has  stated  that  the 
University  Hospitals  have  brdcen  the 
record  during  the  past  year,  with  a 
total  number  of  registered  patients  for 
the  year  1907,  of  3,208,  exceeding  by 
far  the  enrollment  of  any  previous 
year,  and  making  the  hospital  one 
of  the  largest  of  its  kind  in  the  coun- 
try. 

Announcement  is  made  by  the  Eng- 
lish Department  of  the  University 
that  the  Ben  Greet  players  will  make 
their  annual  appearance  at  the  Uni- 
versity March  21  and  23.  The  reper- 
toire will  be  entirely  new  this  year,

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[March 


discuss  the  question  of  residential  halls 
for  women  in  the  University.  The 
question  arose  through  the  efforts  of 
two  organizations  of  senior  girls,  the 
"Mortar  Board"  and  the  "Senior  So- 
ciety," who  have  felt  the  desirability 
of  some  change  in  the  present  system. 
May  L.  Baker,  '08,  in  opening  the 
meeting  stated  it  as  a  fact  "that  the 
girls  would  have  added  dignity  and 
would  feel  even  less  restraint  than 
under  the  present  system."    Mrs.  W. 


J.  Hussey  agreed  with  the  originators 
of  the  movement  that  the  resident  hall 
should  be  under  student  control,  sub- 
ject, however,  to  a  certain  amount  of 
supervision.  She  considered  the  re- 
cent criticisms  on  Michigan  women  as 
of  small  significance.  The  attitude  of 
University  women  in  regard  to  this 
matter  will  shortly  be  investigated  and 
blanks  containing  questions  in  regard 
to  it  will  bfe  distributed  among  the  girls 
in  every  class. 


JAMES  VALENTINE  CAMPBELL 

MICHIGAN  PORTRAITS— XI 


Judge  James  Valentine  Campbell 
was  born  in  Buffalo  in  the  State  of 
New  York  on  the  2Sth  day  of  Feb- 
ruary, 1823,  and  his  sixty-seventh 
year  had  just  closed  when  he  died  in 
the  City  of  Detroit  on  the  26th  day 
of  March,  1890. 

His  whole  life,  with  the  exception 
of  three  years,  was  lived  in  the  State 
of  Michigan  and  almost  all  of  his 
adult  life  was  spent  in  the  service  of 
the  state. 

Graduated  from  college  at  eighteen, 
he  at  once  commenced  the  study  of 
law  and  was  admitted  to  the  bar  in 
1844.  At  the  age  of  thirty-four  he 
was  chosen  one  of  the  Justices  of  the 
Supreme  Court  of  his  state,  then  just 
reorganized.  He  served  in  this  office 
through  successive  re-elections  until 
his  death,  a  period  of  thirty-two  years. 
His  term  of  service  exceeded  in  years 
that  of  any  other  incumbent  of  this 
high  office. 

He  came  to  the  bench  in  Michigan 
at  an  opportune  time.  The  founda- 
tions of  the  jurisprudence  of  the  state 
were  being  laid  and  he  brought  to 
his  portion  of  this  most  important  task 
remarkable  intellectual  powers,  well 
trained,  a  judicial  temperament,  and 
righteousness  almost  without  a  flaw. 

Serving  with  such  eminent  jurists 
as  Cooley  and  Christiancy  and  Graves 


it  is  not  too  much  to  say  that  he  was 
the  peer  of  any  and  surpassed  by  none 
in  those  qualities  which  go  to  make 
the  gfreat  judge.  To  no  one  does  the 
State  of  Michigan  owe  more  for  the 
exalted  reputation  of  its  highest  ju- 
dicial tribunal  during  the  time  he  was 
a  member  of  it. 

But  Judge  Campbell  not  only  did 
foundation  work  in  the  jurisprudence 
of  Michigan  as  a  member  of  its  Su- 
preme Court,  but  almost  contempor- 
aneously with  the  organization  of  that 
tribunal  there  was  organized  as  a  part 
of  the  University,  the  Department  of 
Law,  and  Judge  Campbell  was  in 
1859  chosen  a  member  of  its  first 
Faculty  and  elected  its  Dean.  He 
continued  his  membership  in  this  Fac- 
ulty until  the  pressure  of  his  judicial 
duties  led  to  his  resignation  after  a 
quarter  of  a  century  of  service. 

Judge  Campbell's  wide,  accurate, 
scholarly  legal  knowledge  especially 
fitted  him  for  his  work  as  Marshall 
Professor  of  Law.  The  elegance  of 
his  diction,  his  pure  literary  style  and 
his  most  interesting  personality,  com- 
bined with  the  breadth  and  richness 
of  his  knowledge,  technical  and  gen- 
eral, made  him  one  of  the  most  de- 
lightful of  lecturers.  It  is  more  than 
doubtful  whether  the  law  school,  with 
the    methods    then    employed,    could

have  won  its  high  place  with  less 
capable  men  for  its  Faculty  than  Judge 
Campbell  and  his  associates. 

Many  men  are  good,  but  he  was  a 
rare  man  among  good  men.  I  can 
scarcely  close  this  brief  sketch  bet- 
ter than  to  quote  some  comments  up- 
on his  character  by  those  long  asso- 
ciated with  him.  Justice  Henry  B. 
Brown  of  the  Supreme  Court  of  the 
United  States  has  said  of  him:  "His 
private  life  was  a  model  of  purity — 
dignified  in  bearing,  refined  in  lan- 
guage, genial  and  happy  in  disposi- 
tion, faithful  to  his  church,  generous 
to  charity,  devoted  to  his  family  and 
friends,  and  punctual  in  the  discharge 
of  his  pecuniary  obligations.  No  un- 
toward action  ever  marred  the  har- 
mony of  his  character,  no  coarse  or 
unseemly  expression  ever  escaped  his 
lips." 

His  judicial  associate  for  more  than 
seventeen  years,  the  Hon.  Isaac  P. 
Christiancy,  speaking  to  the  court  of 
which  they  both  were  so  long  a  part, 
said :  "I  know  from  years  of  personal 
experience — that  his  principles  of  ac- 
tion toward  his  fellow  men  were  such 
that  if  the  like  principles  of  action 
had  equal  control  over  all  other  men, 
there  would  be  little  need  for  human 
laws  or  of  courts  to  administer  them. 
These  were  the  principles  of  conduct 
taught  by  Christ,  the  purest  and  best 


ever  given  to  men, — and  few  men,  if 
any,  of  my  acquaintance  more  nearly 
reached  the  high  standard  fixed  by 
these  teachings  than  Judge  Camp- 
bell." 

The  presiding  Justice  at  the  time 
of  his  death.  Judge  Champlin,  fur- 
nishes this  tribute:  "I  can  say  with- 
out reserve  that  he  exhibited  less  of 
the  frailties  of  our  human  nature  than 
any  man  I  ever  knew.  I  have  often 
thought  that  he  was  as  nearly  per- 
fect as  any  man  I  ever  met.  Lovely 
in  disposition,  pure  in  thought  and 
purpose,  high  and  noble  in  all  his 
aims,  firm  in  his  friendships,  kind  in 
his  manner,  affable  in  his  intercourse, 
benevolent  in  his  sentiments,  a  true 
Christian  in  heart  and  life,  it  is  not 
surprising  that  these  generous  traits 
should  stamp  themselves  upon  his 
outward  appearance  and  his  counte- 
nance should  indicate  the  pureness  of 
his  life  and  should  give  to  it  that  be- 
nignity of  expression  which  limners 
are  wont  to  give  to  the  beloved  dis- 
ciple. The  charm  of  his  manner  drew 
all  men  to  him  instinctively  and  made 
them  feel  that  he  was  their  friend." 

There  is  no  lawyer  in  the  state  nor 
student  who  ever  sat  under  his  in- 
struction but  would  to  the  extent  of 
his  acquaintance,  gladly  endorse  it 
all.

A  HISTORY  OF  THE  LAW  DEPARTMENT  OF 
THE  UNIVERSITY* 


Until  recent  years  the  grtst  major- 
ity of  American  lawyers  received 
their  professional  training  in  lawyers' 
offices.  This  system  of  legal  educa- 
tion was  introduced  from  England  in 
colonial  times,  and  took  a  firm  hold 
both  of  the  public  and  professional 
mind.     Carried   on   under   favorable

dale's ••  History  of  the  University." 


circumstances,  the  system  had  much 
to  recommend  it,  particularly  in 
the  days  when  the  law  was  compara- 
tively undiflFerentiated,  when  the  liter- 
ature of  the  profession  was  mainly 
found  in  the  two  gjeat  books,  and 
when  there  were  able  lawyers  who  had 
time  and  disposition  to  take  students 
into  their  offices  and  give  them  the 
instruction  that  they  needed.  In  fact, 
an  excellent  preliminary  legal  educa-

tion  could  be  obtained  by  "reading  in 
an  office,"  as  it  was  called.  Not  un- 
naturally many  lawyers  were  drawn 
to  the  work  both  by  interest  in  the 
subject  and  by  interest  in  students, 
and  some  of  them,  although  engaged 
in  active  practice,  actually  made  of 
their  law  offices  Law  Schools,  just 
as  some  ministers  and  physicians, 
from  similar  motives,  made  of  their 
studies  and  offices  Divinity  Schools 
and  Medical  Colleges.  The  peculiar 
excellences  of  this  mode  of  instruc- 
tion were  the  close  personal  relations 
that  it  effected  between  the  pupil  and 
the  teacher,  and  the  direct  practical 
character  of  the  instruction;  excel- 
lences that  are  not  always  reproduced 
with  ease,  to  an  equal  degree,  in  law 
schools. 

But  this  system,  good  as  it  was  in 
its  time,  could  not  endure  under  con- 
ditions to  which  it  was  not  adapted, 
and  in  process  of  time  it  beg^n  to 
break  up  and  disappear.  Still,  it  has 
by  no  means  wholly  passed  away  to 
this  day.  The  first  American  profes- 
sorship of  Law  was  founded  in  Wil- 
liam and  Mary  College,  Virginia,  in 
1782,  and  the  first  American  Law 
School  was  established  at  Litchfield, 
Connecticut,  in  1783.  The  dates  of 
other  early  Law  Schools,  or  Law  Pro- 
fessorships are: — ^The  University  of 
Pennsylvania,  1790;  the  Harvard  Law 
School,  1817;  the  Columbia  Law 
School,  1822.  From  these  later  dates 
onward  the  number  of  similar  schools 
in  the  country  has  steadily  increased 
until,  in  1897-1898,  there  reported  to 
the  Bureau  of  Education  82  Law 
Schools,  with  845  instructors,  11,615 
students,  and  3,065  graduates.  These 
statistics  betoken  a  great  revolution 
in  legal  education,  as  well  as  a  vast 
increase  in  the  legal  business  of  the 
country. 

Judge  T.  M.  Cooley  is  authority 
for  the  statemient  that  the  plan  of 
founding  a  Law  School  in  Michigan 
was  discussed  in  Territorial  days ;  but 
there  is  no  trace  of  the  subject  in  leg- 


islation until  the  Organic  Act  of  1837 
provided  for  a  Law  Department  in  the 
University,  as  well  as  Departments  of 
Literature,  Science,  and  the  Arts,  and 
of  Medicine  and  Surgery.  In  fact, 
Law  had  precedence  over  Medicine  in 
the  Act ;  but  for  some  reason,  as  per- 
haps the  greater  interest  in  the  sub- 
ject on  the  part  of  the  medical  pro- 
fession of  the  state,  the  right  of  way 
was  given  to  Medicine  in  1848- 1849, 
and  Law  was  obliged  to  wait  ten  years 
longer.  The  superior  interest  of  the 
medical  men  is  something  more  than 
a  hypothesis.  Many  lawyers,  probab- 
ly a  large  majority  of  those  practic- 
ing in  Michigan  at  the  time,  still  ad- 
hered tenaciously  to  the  old  office 
mode  of  legal  education,  and  were 
stoutly  opposed  to  Law  Schools  alto- 
gether. The  Law  Schools  of  the 
country  have  been  obliged  to  live 
down  this  opposition,  which  has  been 
a  work  of  time. 

However,  the  Medical  School  was 
hardly  upon  its  feet  before  petitions 
began  to  come  in  praying  for  the  es- 
tablishment of  a  Law  School  in  con- 
nection with  the  University.  Unfor- 
tunately, the  Board  was  not  in  a  fi- 
nancial condition  seriously  to  consider 
the  subject  until  1858,  when  it  ap- 
pointed three  of  its  members,  J.  E. 
Johnson,  B.  L.  Baxter  and  Donald 
Mclntyre,  all  lawyers,  a  Committee  to 
investigate  the  subject  and  submit  its 
findings.  Already,  it  seems,  one  or  more 
courses  of  lectures  on  Law  had  been 
gratuitously  given  at  the  University 
by  practitioners  coming  from  diflFerent 
parts  of  the  state.  In  March  follow- 
ing this  Committee  submitted  its  re- 
port, embodying  the  results  of  visits 
that  it  had  made  to  existing  Law 
Schools,  together  with  its  own  ideas. 
Hitherto  the  assumption  had  been  that 
the  school  would  require  the  appoint- 
ment of  but  one  Law  Professor,  dis- 
tinctly so-called,  but  the  Committee 
recommended  three  Professorships — 
one  of  Common  and  Statute  Law,  one 
of  Pleading,  Practice  and  Evidence,

and  one  of  Equity  Jurisprudence, 
Pleading  and  Practice.  The  Board 
adopted  the  report  including  the  rec- 
ommendation that  the  school  should 
at  once  be  organized  and  go  into 
operation  at  the  beginning  of  the  next 
University  year.  At  the  same  time 
the  Board  elected  James  V.  Campbell, 
Charles  I.  Walker  and  Thomas  M. 
Cooley  to  the  three  chairs,  which,  a 
little  later,  were  officially  styled  the 
Marshall,  Kent  and  Jay  Professor- 
ships of  Law.  Professor  Campbell 
was  one  of  the  Justices  of  the  State 
Supreme  Court,  residing  in  Detroit; 
Professor  Walker  was  a  lawyer  in  ac- 
tive practice,  also  residing  in  Detroit ; 
Professor  Cooley,  the  youngest  of  the 
three,  residing  at  Adrian,  had  already 
made  a  favorable  reputation  by  his 
compilation  of  the  state  statutes  and 
his  practice  at  the  Bar.  It  was  thought 
important  that  there  should  be  a  res- 
ident Professor,  and  Cooley,  to  whom 
all  the  circumstances  seemed  clearly 
to  point  as  the  proper  man,  at  once  re- 
moved to  the  seat  of  the  University, 
where  he  continued  to  reside  until  his 
death.  He  took  his  seat  upon  the 
Supreme  Bench  in  1864,  and  left  in 
1885. 

Professor  Campbell  was  the  first 
Dean  of  the  Faculty,  and  on  Octo- 
ber 8,  1859,  he  delivered  an  innaugu- 
ral  address  in  one  of  the  churches  on 
the  Study  of  Law.  The  next  morning 
the  school  was  regularly  inaugurated. 
President  Tappan  making  a  brief  ad- 
dress and  Professor  Walker  deliver- 
ing the  first  formal  Law  lecture.  The 
three  Professors  appear  to  have  been 
elected  without  previous  consultation 
of  the  Board  with  them.  They  were 
left  to  divide  the  subjects  of  instruc- 
tion among  themselves,  and  they 
worked  together  effectively  and  har- 
moniously until  the  old  Faculty  was 
broken  up  by  Walker's  resignation  in 
1876.  Years  afterwards  President  An- 
gell  bore  this  public  testimony  to  this 
first  Law  Faculty : 

'Terhaps  never  was  an  American 


Law  School  so  fortunate  in  its  first 
Faculty,  composed  of  those  renowned 
teachers,  Charles  I.  Walker,  James  V. 
Campbell  and  Thomas  M.  Cooley." 

When  the  new  school  was  inaugu- 
rated there  were,  as  nearly  as  can  be 
ascertained,  eighteen  Law  Schools  in 
the  country  that  are  still  in  existence. 
Of  these,  four  were  west  of  the  Alle- 
gheny mountans,  one  in  Cincinnati, 
one  in  Louisville,  Kentucky,  one  at 
Greencastle,  Indiana,  and  the  fourth 
at  Bloomington,  in  the  same  state,  in 
connection  with  Indiana  University. 
The  Law  Department  of  Northwest- 
em  University  opened  its  doors  to 
students  the  same  year. 

The  success  of  the  new  school  was 
at  once  demonstrated.  The  enrol- 
ment was  92  the  first  year  and  159  the 
second.  The  first  class,  24  in  num- 
ber, graduated  in  the  spring  of  i860. 
In  seven  years  the  school  had  shot 
ahead  of  the  Literary  Department, 
and  almost  overtaken  the  Medical  De- 
partment, a  lead,  however,  which  it 
maintained  for  only  two  or  three 
years.  At  periods  of  five  years  the  en- 
rolment of  students  has  been  from  the 
beginning  as  follows : 

i860,  92;  1865,  260;  1870,  308; 
1875*  345 ;  1880,  395 ;  1885,  262 ;  1890, 
533;  1895,  670;  1900,  837. 

The  first  woman  student  was  ad- 
mitted to  the  school  in  1870,  and  the 
first  one  graduated  in  1871.  Since 
that  day  Ae  total  number  of  women 
graduates  has  been  39. 

So  far  nothing  has  been  said  about 
the  several  homes  of  the  Law  School. 
It  was  inaugurated  in  advance  of  any 
adequate  provision  for  its  accommoda- 
tion. At  first  the  lectures  were  deliv- 
ered in  the  old  Chapel  in  the  North 
wing,  and  the  books  were  stored  in 
the  general  library  on  the  floor  above. 
But,  happily,  Chapel  and  Library  were 
both  very  ill  adapted  to  their  old  uses, 
and  still  more  to  the  new  ones;  and 
so  a  plan  was  devised  for  taking  care 
of  all  these  interests  in  a  new  buUding, 
to  be  constructed  for  their  special  use.

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[March 


The  Board  attempted  to  raise  by  sub- 
scription, the  $15,000  needed  to  carry 
the  plan  out,  but  was  baffled  in  the  at- 
tempt, and  ultimately  compelled  to 
meet  the  whole  expenditure  out  of  the 
University  funds.  There  was  delay 
in  construction,  and  it  was  not  until 
October,  1863,  that  the  law  lecture 
hall  was  dedicated.  Judge  Cooley  de- 
livering an  address,  and  D.  Bethune 
Duffield,  Esq.,  of  Detroit,  reading  an 
original  poem. 

Still  Uie  new  building  could  not 
long  accommodate  its  numerous  occu- 
pants, provided  the  University  con- 
tinued to  grow.  In  fact,  it  soon  be- 
came overcrowded,  as  the  Chapel  and 
the  old  Library  had  been.  The  school 
obtained  needed  relief  in  1872  when 
the  new  Chapel  was  ready  for  occu- 
pancy in  University  Hall,  and  again 
.  in  1882  when  the  general  Library  was 
removed  to  its  present  quarters  in  the 
Library  Building.  The  Law  School 
enjoyed  the  undisturbed  use  of  the 
building  for  the  next  ten  years.  Then 
the  growth  of  the  school  in  1893  com- 
pelled its  enlargement  and  partial  re- 
construction, and  again  its  practical 
demolition  and  the  construction  of  a 
much  more  commodious  and  conven- 
ient building  in  1898.  The  school  took 
possession  of  its  new  home,  which  is 
in  some  respects,  the  finest  building 
on  the  Campus,  and  the  one  best 
adapted  to  its  use,  in  October,  1898. 
The  cost  of  the  reconstruction  of  1893 
was  $30,000,  and  of  1898  $65,000. 

Internally  the  school  has  changed, 
perhaps,  even  more  than  externally. 
Reference  is  now  made  to  the  Faculty, 
terms  of  admission,  terms  of  gradua- 
tion, and  methods  of  instruction.  These 
topics  will  be  briefly  considered.  First, 
however,  it  should  be  remarked,  that 
the  ideal  of  the  school  has  never  es- 
sentially changed.  This  has  always 
been  professional  rather  than  aca- 
demic. The  department  was  designed, 
so  the  original  announcement  ran,  to 
give  a  course  of  instruction  that  should 
fit  young  gentlemen  for  practice  of 


the  law  in  any  part  of  the  country,  em- 
bracing the  several  branches  of  Con- 
stitutional, International,  Maritime, 
Commercial  and  Criminal  Law,  Med- 
ical Jurisprudence  and  the  Jurispru- 
dence of  the  United  States,  together 
with  such  instruction  in  Common  Law 
and  Equity  Pleading,  Evidence  and 
Partnership,  as  could  lay  a  substantial 
foundation  for  the  practice  in  all  de- 
partments of  the  Law.  Since  this  de- 
scription was  written  the  instruction 
has  greatly  widened  and  greatly  deep- 
ened; but  it  is  as  applicable  to  the 
work  of  today  as  respects  the  end  in 
view,  as  it  was  to  the  work  of  forty 
years  ago.  Of  course  the  application 
of  the  principle  is  much  wider.  The 
present  head  of  the  school  has  said: 
"The  primary  object  of  the  Law 
School  should,  of  course,  be  the  train- 
ing of  young  men  for  active  work  at 
the  Bar;  but  the  school  that  has  sim- 
ply the  practice  in  view  fails  in  one 
important  particular.  The  Law  School 
of  today  should  teach  and  should  en- 
courage the  study  of  Law  in  its  larger 
sense." 

In  1866  the  fourth  Professorship 
was  created  and  named  for  the  Hon. 
Richard  Fletcher  of  Boston,  who  had 
given  his  library  to  the  University.  It 
was  filled  for  two  years  by  that  dis- 
tinguished lawyer,  Ashley  Pond,  Esq., 
who  then  found  its  longer  retention  in- 
compatible with  his  professional  bus- 
iness and  so  resigned  it.  He  was  suc- 
ceeded by  Charles  A.  Kent,  also  well 
known  at  the  Bar  and  in  public  life. 
Mr.  Kent  discharged  the  duties  of  the 
Professorship  eighteen  years,  resign- 
ing it  in  1886.  The  fifth  Professor- 
ship todc  its  name  from  President 
Tappan,  the  Tappan  Professorship, 
and  was  held  for  the  first  four  years, 
1879- 1883,  by  Hon.  Alpheus  Felch, 
who  dying  at  a  great  age  in  1896,  had 
not  only  held  at  diflFerent  times  many 
of  the  great  offices  of  the  state,  be- 
sides seeing  national  service,  but  had 
also  been  recognized  as  one  of  the 
greatest  citizens  of  the  state.

Mr.  Walker  resigned  his  chair  in 
1876,  although  he  subsequently  gave 
one  or  two  courses  of  lectures.  Judge 
Cooley  resigned  in  1884,  but  after- 
wards lectured  not  unfrequently  on 
special  subjects.  Judge  Campbell  re- 
signed in  1885.  Judge  Cooley  suc- 
ceeded Judge  Campbell  as  Dean  in

of  the  Deans  has  been  Charles  A.

As  the  school  grew  and  its  internal 
economy  changed,  a  much  larger  pro- 
portion of  the  teaching  staff  must  nec- 
essarily reside  in  Ann  Arbor.  "While 
the  resident  Faculty  has  been  largely 
increased  in  numbers  in  order  to  meet 
the  demands  of  changed  methods  and 
additional  requirements,"  the  present 
Dean  explains  in  a  published  article,

and  properly  so,  I  think,  to  retain  up- 
on its  staff  representative  men  from 
active  professional  life."  The  reason 
that  the  Dean  assigns  for  this  opinion 
is  the  obvious  practical  reason  and 
need  not  be  formally  quoted.  It  was 
twenty-four  years  before  the  school 
had  a  Professor  who  devoted  himself 
wholly  to  the  work  of  the  Department, 
and  a  large  majority  of  the  Faculty 
have  always  been  practising  lawyers. 

In  all  39  men  have  served  the  Law 
Department  as  instructors  in  differ- 
ent capacities;  or,  rather,  that  is  the 
number  of  names  found  in  the  annual 
catalogues  and  calendars.  The  roll 
is  one  that  reflects  great  credit  upon 
the  University  as  well  as  upon  the 
legal  profession.  Some  of  the  most 
distinguished  judges,  law-writers,  and 
practitioners  at  the  Bar  appear  in  its 
columns.  Besides  those  already  named, 
particular  mention  should  be  made  of 
Hon.  H.  B.  Brown,  one  of  the  Jus- 
tices of  the  United  States  Supreme 
Court,  who.  lectured  for  a  series  of 
years  upon  the  subject  of  Admiralty 
Law. 

The  Law  Library  .   .   .  has  receiv- 


ed many  valuable  gifts,  and  now  con- 
tains something  more  than  15,000  vol- 
umes. The  library  room  is  admirably 
fitted  and  the  books  are  well  chosen 
to  meet  the  wants  of  the  hundreds 
of  students  and  of  the  Professors  who 
comprise  the  school. 

In  the  beginning  the  only  requisites 
for  admission  were  that  the  candidate 
should  be  eighteen  years  of  age,  and 
should  sustain  a  good  moral  character, 
the  latter  fact  to  be  duly  authenticated 
by  a  certificate.  No  previous  course 
of  readipg  in  the  Law  was  required, 
but  was  rather  discouraged.  Still  the 
early  classes  undoubtedly  stood  well  in 
respect  to  ability.  Some  members  of 
the  first  class  were  already  practising 
lawyers,  and  others  were  on  the  verge 
of  being  admitted  to  the  Bar.  Both 
classes  desired  to  take  at  least  one 
course  of  lectures  the  better  to  fit  them 
for  their  work.  The  course  of  instruc- 
tion embraced  two  terms  of  six  months 
each,  from  the  first  of  October  to  the 
end  of  March.  All  the  instruction 
was  given  in  the  form  of  lectures. 
There  were  six  series  of  lectures,  three 
each  term,  and  the  two  groups  of 
series  alternated  so  as  to  allow  stu- 
dents to  enter  the  school  at  either  term. 
It  was  also  announced  that  the  work 
was  so  laid  out  that  students  could  en- 
ter profitably  at  any  time,  and  that  one 
term  was  as  suitable  as  the  other.  As  a 
result  of  this  arrangement,  which  was 
made  to  economize  time,  the  Junior  and 
Senior  classes  took  all  their  lectures 
together.  There  was  little  quizzing, 
and  such  as  there  was  the  Professors 
did  at  the  beginning  or  end  of  the  lec- 
ture period,  which  was  two  hours  in 
length.  Two  distinct  lectures  on  sep- 
arate suujects  were  given  in  each  per- 
iod, separated,  however,  by  a  short 
breathing  space.  Only  the  Seniors 
were  quizzed,  but  they  were  quizzed 
on  the  Junior  as  well  as  the  Senior 
subjects.  Ten  lectures  and  as  many 
quizzes  were  given  each  week.  The 
moot  court,  presided  over  by  the  Pro- 
fessors who  lectured  for  the  day,  was

a  weekly  exercise.  The  students  also 
organized  and  conducted  club  courts, 
with  such  assistance  from  the  Profes- 
sors as  they  needed.  At  the  end  of 
the  course  an  oral  examination  was 
held,  and  such  students  as  passed  this 
ordeal  and  presented  an  acceptable 
thesis  received  the  degree  of  LL.B. 
This  degree  was  given  also  to  stu- 
dents who  had  taken  one  year  of 
equivalent  study  in  a  lawyer's  office 
and  one  year  in  the  school,  as  well  as 
to  lawyers  who  had  practiced  law  one 
year  under  an  approved  license  and 
then  taken  one  term  of  study  in  the 
school. 

The  foregoing  arrangements  stood 
unchanged  in  all  their  essential  feat- 
ures for  almost  twenty  years.  A 
feebler  organization  and  a  looser  ad- 
ministration could  hardly  have  held 
the  school  together.  Indeed,  if  the 
mark  of  a  school  is  to  be  found  in 
organization  and  administration,  then 
this  was  hardly  a  school  at  all ;  but  if 
such  mark  is  to  be  found  in  the  ability 
of  teachers,  the  value  of  the  instruc- 
tion given,  and  the  enthusiasm  of  stu- 
dents, it  was  a  school  of  a  high  order. 
In  a  word,  it  was  the  Professors  and 
the  conditions,  not  organization,  ad- 
ministration, and  discipline,  that  made 
the  school  what  it  was. 

But  obviously  enough  such  a  regi- 
men as  this  cannot  endure  indefinitely. 
Faculties  will  change  and  conditions 
will  alter,  and  in  the  end  method, 
order,  system,  must,  in  large  measure, 
take  the  place  that  was  first  held  by 
genius  and  enthusiasm.  So  it  was  at 
Ann  Arbor. 

The  first  intimation  of  the  coming 
change  is  met  with  in  1877  when  it 
was  announced  that  students  would 
henceforth  be  expected  to  be  well 
grounded  in  at  least  a  good  English 
education,  and  be  capable  of  making 
use  of  the  English  language  with  ac- 
curacy and  propriety.  This  meant  an 
entrance  examination ;  but  it  is  not 
necessary  to  suppose  that  it  was  a 
very  difficult  one.     Here  it  may  be 


said  in  explanation,  if  not  in  defence, 
of  the  low  standard  of  qualification 
for  admission,  that  it  was  no  lower 
than  the  one  found  at  the  similar 
schools  in  the  country,  at  least  with 
very  few  exceptions. 

A  few  years  later  it  was  announced 
that  graduates  of  Colleges,  and  stu- 
dents who  had  honorably  completed 
an  academical  or  high  school  course 
and  presented  the  appropriate  certifi- 
cate or  diploma,  would  be  admitted  to 
the  school  without  a  preliminary  ex- 
amination. All  other  candidates  must 
pass  a  satisfactory  examination  in 
Arithmetic,  Geography,  Orthography, 
English  Composition  and  the  outlines 
of  the  History  of  the  United  States 
and  of  England.  The  examination 
would  be  conducted  in  writing,  and  the 
writer  must  evince  a  competent  knowl- 
edge of  English  Grammar.  In  1894 
still  higher  requirements  were  an- 
nounced to  take  effect  in  October, 
1897;  2tnd  the  next  year  the  standard 
was  made  the  same  as  for  admission 
to  Group  IV.,  the  old  B.L.  course,  in 
the  Literary  Department,  said  action 
to  take  effect  in  September,  1900. 

In  1884  the  two  terms  making  up 
the  course  of  instruction  were  length- 
ened from  six  months  to  nine  months 
each ;  that  is,  were  extended  over  the 
whole  of  the  University  year.  In 
1886  the  Faculty  introduced  a  graded 
course  of  instruction,  and  the  two 
classes  were  henceforth  separated. 
This  change  was  attended  by  impor- 
tant modifications  of  the  method  of 
instruction.  For  one  thing,  the  quiz- 
zes and  examinations  became  much 
more  systematic  and  eflFective.  Again, 
in  1895,  2ift^r  due  notice  had  been 
given,  a  third  year  was  added  to  the 
course,  and  at  the  same  time  other 
steps  were  taken  to  strengthen  the 
department. 

To  trace  out  in  detail  the  introduc- 
tion of  successive  new  studies  would 
encroach  too  heavily  upon  our  space. 
The  important  subject  of  Conveyanc- 
ing was  introduced  in  1898.    For  the

rest,  It  will  suffice  to  put  the  earlier 
requirements  for  graduation  in  con- 
trast with  the  later  ones. 

The  original  course  of  study  in  the 
department  was  but  two  terms  of  six 
months  each,  at  the  rate  of  ten  lec- 
tures a  week.  The  course  has  now 
been  expanded  to  three  full  terms,  or 
years,  of  nine  months  each,  fifteen  lec- 
tures a  week,  besides  an  option  in  the 
Senior  year  of  three  courses  of  lec- 
tures in  a  list  of  eight  such  courses. 
The  requirements  for  the  degree  of 
Bachelor  of  Laws  have  more  than 
trebled  since  the  department  opened 
its  doors  to  students ;  or,  to  be  strict- 
ly accurate,  the  ratio  is  405  hours  to 
120. 

Three  distinct  methods  of  giving 
instruction  have  been  in  vogue,  and 
are  still  in  vogue,  in  American  Law 
Schools.  The  lecture,  the  text-book, 
and  study  of  selected  cases  character- 
ize these  methods.  As  we  have  seen, 
the  lecture  method,  pure  and  simple, 
was  employed  in  the  first  period  at 
Ann  Arbor.  Since  that  time,  it  has 
been  supplemented  by  the  partial  in- 
troduction of  both  of  the  others.  Text- 
books first  appeared  in  the  department 
in  1879 ;  and  from  that  day  they  have 
continued  to  encroach  upon  the  earlier 
method,  until  at  present  a  major  part 
of  the  instruction  is  given  in  that 
form.  It  is  impossible  to  make  a  state- 
ment equally  definite  relative  to  the 
third  method.  The  study  of  cases  at- 
tended the  method  employed  in  the 
first  period.  The  library  has  always 
been  a  valuable  source  of  instruction. 
In  recent  years,  however,  selected 
cases  have  been  a  more  prominent 
factor.  The  system  of  instruction  that 
is  now  generally  followed,  outside  of 
a  limited  number  of  text-book  subjects, 
is  the  following:  The  Professor  opens 
out  his  subject  in  outline  by  means  of 
lectures,  and  then  sends  his  students 
to  the  library  laden  with  references  to 
find  illustration,  expansion,  and  veri- 
fication of  the  principles  presented. 
Responding   in   recent  years   to   the 


spirit  of  the  time,  the  school  has  given 
increasing  attention  to  the  historical 
side  of  legal  studies. 

The  changes  that  have  been  made 
in  requirements  for  admission,  in  the 
course  of  instruction,  and  in  methods 
of  teaching  have  told  favorably  upon 
the  intellectual  cultivation  of  the  stu- 
dents. However  it  may  be  in  respect 
to  native  ability  and  force  •of  charac- 
ter, there  can  be  no  doubt  that  the 
members  of  the  department  are  a 
much  better  educated  body  df  men 
than  they  were  in  its  early  history. 
Still  more,  both  the  nimiber  and  the 
proportion  of  College  trained  men 
tends  slowly  to  increase. 

One  of  the  most  important  of  re- 
cent innovations  was  the  abolition  of 
the  old  moot  court  and  the  establish- 
ment of  the  practice  court  This 
change  was  made  in  1892-1893,  and 
was  established  for  the  purpose  of  ex- 
tending and  rendering  more  thorough 
the  application  of  legal  principles  to 
particular  cases.  The  practice  court 
is  an  integral  part  of  the  department, 
and  is  presided  over  by  the  Professor 
of  Practice,  who  not  only  gives  his 
entire  time  to  this  work,  but  also  re- 
ceives assistance  from  other  members 
of  the  Faculty. 

The  growth  of  the  school,  particu- 
larly in  recent  years,  has  been  not 
only  steady  but  rapid.  In  point  of 
numbers  it  is  now  the  first  Law  School 
in  the  country.  In  the  forty  years 
that  it  has  been  in  operation  it  has  sent 
out  6,210  graduates.  The  largest  num- 
ber, 328,  was  in  1896,  a  number  that 
was  somewhat  swollen  by  contem- 
plated changes  in  the  course  of  study 
that  were  to  take  effect  about  this 
time.  These  graduates  are  found 
scattered  over  the  American  Union, 
and  many  in  foreign  lands  as  well. 
This  wide  dispersion  is  due  to  the 
great  breadth  of  the  school's  consti- 
tuency, together  with  changes  of  res- 
idence following  graduation.  But 
while  so  widely  scattered  the  grad- 
uates are  much  more  numerous,  of

course,  in  Michigan  and  the  other 
states  of  the  middle  West  than  beyond 
those  limits.  The  list  is  one  that  re- 
flects great  honor  upon  the  depart- 
ment and  the  University.  Its  rolls 
contain  the  names  of  many  of  the 
most  eminent  legal  practitioners, 
judges  and  men  in  public  life  of  recenc 
and  current  years.  Comparisons  are 
odious,  but  the  University  has  no 
more  loyal  and  enthusiastic  alumni 
than  the  graduates  of  the  Law  De- 
partment, taken  as  a  body. 

It  would  be  strange  indeed  if  such 
a  school  as  has  now  been  described 
had  not  exerted  a  great  and  beneficial 
influence,  not  only  on  legal  education, 
but  on  American  life.  Such  is  the 
fact.  In  respect  to  the  first  of  these 
topics  a  word  farther  may  be  allowed. 
The  influence  of  the  school  upon  Law 
Schools,  particularly  in  the  middle  and 
farther  West,  is  comparable  to  the  in- 
fluence that  the  University  as  a  whole 
has  exerted  upon  education  as  a  whole. 

But  it  must  not  be  supposed  that 
the  influence  of  the  department  has 
been  limited  to  the  teaching  that  it 
has  done  in  Ann  Arbor.  The  Faculty 
have  contributed  generously  to  the 
legal  literature  of  the  country,  some 
of  the  most  distinguished  law  writers 
being  found  upon  its  staff.  Much  the 
most  voluminous  as  well  as  the  ablest 
of  those  who  have  been  intimately 
connected   with  the   school  at  least, 


who  have  contributed  to  the  literature 
of  the  profession,  was  Judge  Cooley, 
perhaps  the  ablest  American  jurist  of 
his  time.  Nor  can  there  be  a  better 
gauge  of  the  quality  of  instruction 
that  he  gave  liis  students  than  the 
fact  that  his  best  known  books  were 
simply  his  law  lectures  written  out 
in  extenso,  printed,  and  bound  up  in 
law  calf. 

Perhaps  no  department  of  Ameri- 
can education  has  been  more  highly 
appreciated  by  foreign,  or  at  least  by 
English  writers,  than  our  Law  schools. 
"I  do  not  know  if  there  is  anything 
in  which  America  has  advanced  more 
beyond  the  mother  country,"  says  the 
Right  Honorable  James  Bryce,  "than 
in  the  provision  she  has  made  for 
legal  education.  All  the  leading  Uni- 
versities possess  Law  Schools,  in  each 
of  which  every  branch  of  Anglo- 
American  Law  and  Equity  as  modi- 
fied by  Federal  and  State  Constitu- 
tions and  Statutes  is  taught  by  a  stafiF 
of  able  men,  sometimes  including  the 
most  eminent  lawyers  in  the  state." 
Other  English  writers,  as  Sir  Freder- 
ick Pollock  and  Lord  Russell  the 
Lord  Chief-Justice  of  England,  have 
borne  similar  testimony.  The  Uni- 
versity of  Michigan  can  congratulate 
itself  that  its  own  Law  Department 
has  contributed  materially  to  winning 
this  deserved  praise  from  these  distin- 
guished foreigners.

SOME  GRADUATES  OF  THE  DEPARTMENT 
OF  LAW  OF  THE  UNIVERSITY 


The  influence  of  the  University  of 
Michigan,  especially  of  her  Depart- 
ment of  Law,  upon  the  judicial  and 
political  history  of  the  country  dur- 
ing the  past  fifty  years  has  undoubt- 
edly been  far  reaching.  But  it  is  an 
influence  that  it  is  difficult  to  measure 
accurately  or  with  perfect  justness  to 
all  concerned  for  the  accessible  rec- 
ords of  the  distinguished  alumni  of 
the  University  are  imperfect.  In  many 
cases  we  must  depend  upon  the  mem- 
ory of  teachers  and  former  classmates. 
It  is,  nevertheless,  possible  to  make 
a  very  suggestive  showing. 

It  goes  without  saying  that  the 
graduates  of  the  Department  of  Law, 
scattered  as  they  are  throughout  every 
part  of  the  country,  have  for  years 
taken  a  large  and  important  part  in 
the  business  of  the  law  offices  and  of 
the  courts  and  have  had  a  great  in- 
fluence upon  the  growth  of  jurispru- 
dence. It  is  the  exception,  particu- 
larly in  the  middle  West,  to  find  a 
town  in  which  the  leaders  of  the  bar 
have  not  among  their  number  several 
graduates  of  this  department.  But 
aside  from  the  purely  professional 
work  of  the  graduates,  in  which  so 
large  a  number  occupy  the  very  first 
rank,  we  find  that  many  have  served 
with  distinction  upon  the  bench.  Grad- 
uates of  the  department  are  to  be 
found  in  judicial  positions  in  both  fed- 
eral and  state  courts  the  country  over. 

We  realize  that  the  data  that  fol- 
low are  fragmentary  and  in  a  measure 
unsatisfactory,  and  that  many  names, 
which  should  rightfully  be  included, 
will  not  be  found.  The  reason  is  ob- 
vious. We  have  done  the  best  we 
could,  however,  with  the  material  at 
our  command.  The  record  is  brought 
down  only  to  1890.  Of  course,  many 
who  have  graduated  since  that  date, 
might  well  be  included.  We  feel  sure 
that  the  record,  imperfect  as  it  is, 


will  prove  of  interest  to  the  graduates 
of  all  departments. 

O'Brien  Joseph  Atkinson  was  the 
first  to  receive  a  diploma  from  the 
Department  of  Law.  He  was  grad- 
uated with  the  Class  of  i860.  Soon 
thereafter  he  settled  in  Port  Huron, 
Mich.,  where  a  large  part  of  his  pro- 
fessional life  was  spent.  However, 
for  a  few  years  he  was  associated  with 
his  brother,  John,  in  Detroit.  He 
died  July  9,  1901. 

During  his  long  career  at  the  bar, 
Mr.  Atkinson  was  engaged  in  many 
cases  of  importance.  A  skillful  and 
forceful  trial  lawyer,  he  appeared  at 
his  best  probably  in  jury  trials,  al- 
though he  was  no  mean  antagonist  in 
the  discussion  of  purely  legal  ques- 
tions. An  examination  of  the  supreme 
court  reports,  when  he  was  at  the  bar, 
will  show  that  he  was  on  one  side  or 
the  other  of  almost  every  case  of  im- 
portance that  went  to  the  supreme 
court  from  his  section  of  the  state. 
Mr.  Atkinson  was  a  Democrat  in  pol- 
itics and  was  several  times  nominated 
by  his  party  for  important  places.  He 
was  nominated  at  least  once  for  a 
place  on  the  supreme  bench,  but  he 
was  defeated  by  his  Republican  op- 
ponent. 

One  of  the  distinguished  members 
of  the  Class  of  1861  was  the  Hon. 
Isaac  Marston.  Soon  after  gradua- 
tion, Mr.  Marston  settled  in  Bay  City, 
Mich.,  and  practiced  law  there  with 
great  success  until  he  was  elected  to 
the  supreme  bench  in  1875.  Previous 
to  his  service  upon  the  supreme  bench, 
he  served  for  one  or  two  terms  as 
attorney  general  of  the  state.  He  was 
also  once  or  twice  a  member  of  the 
Michigan  Legislature.  His  chief  pub- 
lic service,  however,  was  as  a  justice 
of  the  supreme  court  of  the  state,  in 
which  capacity  he  served  with  preat 
success  and  to  the  entire  satisfaction

of  the  profession  from  1875  ^^  1883. 
Resigning  from  the  bench  in  the  lat- 
ter year,  Judge  Marston  settled  in  De- 
troit, and  during  the  remainder  of 
his  life  was  engaged  in  active  practice. 
His  standing  as  a  lawyer  and  as  a 
judge  was  such  as  to  bring  to  him 
business  of  importance,  and  after  his 
retirement  from  the  bench  he  was 
engaged  in  many  cases  involving  large 
interests.  He  died  a  comparatively 
young  man,  Oct.  31,  1891. 

John  Atkinson,  a  brother  of  O'- 
Brien J.  Atkinson,  was  graduated 
from  the  Department  of  Law  in  the 
class  of  1862.  After  graduation  he 
entered  the  army  and  in  1864  left  the 
service  with  the  rank  of  lieutenant 
colonel.  He  immediately  began  the 
practice  of  law  at  Port  Huron  in  part- 
nership with  his  brother,  O'Brien. 
After  remaining  at  Port  Huron  for 
several  years,  he  removed  to  Detroit, 
where  he  was  very  busily  engaged  in 
the  practice  of  his  profession  until 
his  death  in  1898.  Mr.  Atkinson  tocrfc 
a  prominent  place  at  the  bar.  He  was 
wonderfully  skillful  as  a  trial  lawyer. 
After  going  to  Detroit  he  became  the 
attorney  of  many  of  the  leading  bus- 
iness houses  of  the  city,  and  was  con- 
stantly engaged  in  litigation  of  large 
importance.  He  was  for  several  years 
the  counsel  of  Governor  Pingree. 
While  noted  principally  as  a  skillful 
trial  lawyer,  he  was  nevertheless  well 
grounded  in  the  fundamental  princi- 
ples of  the  law  and  made  many  nota- 
ble arguments  in  the  Michigan  Su- 
preme Court.  He  easily  ranked  as 
one  of  the  leaders  of  the  bar.  While 
Mr.  Atkinson  never  sought  public  of- 
fice, he  was  for  one  term  a  member 
of  the  Michigan  State  Legislature. 

Among  the  successful  members  of 
the  Class  of  1864  is  William  Story 
of  Ouray,  Colo.  Judge  Story  has  ris- 
tinguished  himself  not  only  at  the  bar 
but  also  upon  the  bench.  He  was 
United  States  District  judge  from  1871 
to  1874  inclusive.  Although  giving 
his  principal  attention  to  the  law,  Mr. 
Story  has  had  something  to  do  with 


politics.  He  was  Lieutenant  Gover- 
nor of  Colorado  from  1891  to  1893 
inclusive.  He  is  at  present  devoting 
himself  entirely  to  the  practice  of  his 
profession,  being  a  senior  member  of 
the  firm  of  Story  &  Story. 

The  Hon.  Frank  Arthur  Hooker, 
one  of  the  Justices  of  the  Supreme 
Court  of  Michigan  at  the  present 
time,  was  graduated  from  the  Depart- 
ment of  Law  in  1865.  He  was  of  the 
famous  Hooker  family  of  New  Eng- 
land and  was  bom  at  Hartford,  Conn. 
Early  in  his  career  he  came  West. 
After  leaving  the  Law  Department, 
he  practiced  law  for  one  year  in  Ohio 
and  then  removed  to  Charlotte,  Mich., 
where  he  was  engaged  in  the  practice 
of  his  profession  for  several  years. 
He  served  as  prosecuting  attorney  of 
the  county  for  four  years,  and  as 
judge  of  the  fifth  judicial  circuit  from 
1878  until  1893,  when  he  was  elected 
to  the  supreme  bench.  Justice  Hook- 
er has  rendered  distinguished  service 
to  the  state  in  the  cause  of  jurispru- 
dence since  he  has  been  a  member  of 
the  Michigan  Supreme  Court.  He  is 
eminently  judicial  in  his  habits  of 
thought  and  admirably  fitted  for  the 
work  of  an  appellate  judgej. 

Another  distinguished  member  of 
the  Class  of  1865  is  the  honorable 
Thomas  J.  O'Brien,  who  at  present 
is  our  Ambassador  to  Japan.  Until 
he  entered  diplomatic  service,  Mr.  O'- 
Brien was  in  the  practice  of  his  pro- 
fession at  Grand  Rapids,  Mich.,  where 
for  many  years  he  was  a  leading  rail- 
road lawyer.  In  1881  he  was  a  can- 
didate for  justice  of  the  supreme  court, 
but  was  defeated. 

Levi  Lewis  Barbour,  for  many 
years  a  prominent  member  of  the  De- 
troit bar,  who  has  served  the  Univer- 
sity long  and  faithfully  upon  the 
Board  of  Regents  and  has  also  been 
its  generous  benefactor,  was  also  a 
member  of  the  class  of  1865. 

Carroll  Curtis  Boggs,  who  was  a 
student  in  the  Law  Department  in  the 
year  1863-64,  is  now  upon  the  bench 
of  the  supreme  court  of  Illinois.  Prior

to  1897,  when  he  was  elected  to  the 
supreme  bench  from  the  First  Su- 
preme Court  District,  he  was  suc- 
cessively state  attorney,  county  attor- 
ney of  Wayne,  circuit  judge  from 
1885  to  1897,  filled  by  assignment ;  he 
also  served  six  years  on  the  appellate 
bench  of  the  Third  Appellate  District. 
He  also  presided  as  Chief  Justice  for 
the  term  beginning  in  June,  1900. 

Byron  M.  Cutcheon,  of  the  class 
of  1866  before  entering  the  Depart- 
ment had  attained  distinction  in  the 
army.  He  left  the  service  at  the  close 
of  the  civil  war  with  the  rank  of  brig- 
adier general;  practiced  his  profes- 
sion first  at  Manistee  and  later  at 
Grand  Rapids.  For  several  terms 
General  Cutcheon  represented  his  dis- 
trict in  Congress,  and  from  1876  to 
1883,  he  served  upon  the  Board  of 
Regents  of  the  University. 

James  Lambert  High,  after  gradua- 
tion from  the  Law  Department  in 
1866,  settled  in  Chicago.  He  soon 
took  rank  as  a  lawyer  of  marked  abil- 
ity. Notwithstanding  his  activity  in 
the  practice  of  his  profession,  he 
found  the  time  to  prepare  several 
treatises  upon  the  law  that  are  highly 
regarded  by  the  profession  and,  have 
a  permanent  place  in  legal  literature. 
Mr.  High  was  for  several  years  a 
non-resident  lecturer  in  the  Depart- 
ment of  Law  of  this  University.  Oth- 
er members  of  1866  who  may  be  men- 
tioned are  Loftus  N.  Keating,  a  suc- 
cessful practitioner  at  Muskegon, 
Mich.,  William  M.  Kilpatrick  of 
Owosso,  Mich.,  and  Judge  Allen  Zol- 
lers,  who  served  with  distinction  as 
a  Justice  of  the  Indiana  Supreme 
Court  from  1883  to  1889. 

Donald  M.  Didcinson  was  of  the 
Class  of  '67.  From  graduation  he 
gave  his  attention  quite  exclusively  to 
the  practice  of  his  profession  in  De- 
troit, but  his  interest  in  public  affairs 
and  his  ability  as  a  lawyer  and  his 
thorough  knowledge  of  national  and 
international  questions  soon  com- 
manded public  recognition.    For  sev- 


eral years  he  was  a  member  of  the 
Democratic  national  committee,  was 
postmaster  general  in  President  Cleve- 
land's Cabinet ;  was  later  senior  coun- 
sel for  the  United  States  for  the  In- 
ternational High  Comrrtissioners  on 
the  Behring  Sea  Claims ;  and  in  1902 
was  a  member  of  the  Court  of  Arbi- 
tration to  adjust  a  controversy  be- 
tween the  United  States  and  the  Re- 
public of  Salvador.  Mr.  Dickinson 
was  a  strong  trial  lawyer,  and  a  force- 
ful and  impressive  public  speaker.  His 
knowledge  of  affairs  made  him  a  val- 
uable member  on  international  boards, 
and  few  men  in  public  life  had  more 
influence  than  he  during  the  adminis- 
tration of  President  Cleveland,  and 
subsequent  administrations  have  re- 
peatedly sought  his  advice  and  assist- 
ance. 

Philip  T.  Van  Zile  was  also  grad- 
uated with  this  class.  In  his  early 
professional  career  Judge  Van  Zile 
was  prosecuting  attorney,  judge  of 
probate  and  circuit  judge  in  Eaton 
county.  For  several  years  he  was 
United  States  District  Attorney  for 
Utah.  He  returned  to  Michigan  to 
resume  his  practice  at  Detroit.  He 
has  been  Dean  of  the  Detroit  College 
of  Law  since  1891,  and  in  connection 
with  his  work  there  has  done  some 
valuable  law  writing.  For  more  than 
twenty  years  Judge  Van  Zile  has  been 
prominent  in  state  affairs  and  his 
name  has  been  frequently  spoken  of 
in  connection  with  a  position  on  the 
Supreme  Court  of  the  state. 

David  Mills  of  Toronto,  prominent 
in  the  Canadian  Government,  was 
graduated  with  this  class.  He  has 
been  Professor  of  International  and 
Constitutional  Law  in  Toronto  Uni- 
versity, and  for  a  considerable  time  a 
member  of  the  Canadian  Parliament 
and  the  Queen's  Privy  Council.  Also 
John  Allen  Schauck,  Judge  of  the 
Ohio  Supreme  Court  since  1895  ^md 
Professor  of  Law  in  Ohio  State  Uni- 
versity since  1898  was  of  '67.

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[March 


Marshall  D.  Ewell,  best  known  as  an 
educator  and  a  law  writer.  He  was 
also  graduated  from  the  Chicago  Med- 
ical College  in  1884.  During  the  past 
thirty  years  Dr.  Ewell  has  contributed 
extensively  to  scientific  journals,  has 
written  and  edited  many  books  of  law, 
has  held  law  professorships  in  the  Un- 
ion College  of  Law  and  the  Kent  Col- 
lege of  Law  at  Chicago,  and  has  de- 
livered lectures  at  many  of  the  leading 
Universities  of  the  country  on  legal 
and  medical  subjects.  He  is  well 
known  as  a  microscopift  and  a  hand- 
writing expert. 

Special  mention  should  be  made  of 
Roger  W.  Butterfield  of  Grand  Rap- 
ids. He  was  graduated  with  the  class 
of  '68,  and  for  many  years  has  given 
his  attention  to  the  practice  of  law. 
Few  men  in  the  state  are  better  or 
more  favorably  known  to  the  profes- 
sion and  to  the  alumni  of  the  Univer- 
sity. He  was  a  member  of  its  Board 
of  Regents  from  1888  to  1904  and 
during  these  years  he  gave  freely  to 
his  Alma  Mater  much  of  his  time  and 
his  best  thought.  Other  prominent 
members  of  this  class  were  Jonas  H. 
McGowan,  who  was  Regent  of  the 
University  from  1870  to  1877,  and 
John  W.  McGrath,  who  for  several 
years  was  a  member  of  the  supreme 
court  of  Michigan. 

Graduating  with  the  Class  of  '68 
were  also  Edgar  Aldrich,  United 
States  District  Judge  for  the  State 
of  New  Hampshire  and  member  of 
the  Constitutional  Convention  of  that 
state  in  1902,  who  was  granted  the 
honorary  degree  of  Doctor  of  Laws 
by  the  University  in  1907;  Jos- 
eph N.  Carter  for  many  years  a  Judge 
of  the  Supreme  Court  of  Illinois,  and 
William  C.  Stevens,  Auditor  General 
of  Michigan   1883-1887. 

Aaron  B.  McAlvay  was  graduated 
with  the  Class  of  '69.  He  spent  many 
years  in  the  practice  of  the  law  at 
Manistee,  Mich.;  was  circuit  judge 
of  the  19th  Judicial  Circuit  for  sev- 
eral terms  and  has  been  a  member  of 


the  supreme  court  of  the  State  since 
Jan.  I,  1905.  He  was  a  non-resident 
Professor  of  Law  at  the  University 
from  1897  to  1903.  He  has  been 
prominent  in  state  affairs  for  over 
twenty  years  and  was  elected  to  his 
present  position  by  reason  of  his  gen- 
erally recognized  judicial  tempera- 
ment and  learning  in  the  law. 

Lorenzo  Thurston  Durand,  who 
was  graduated  from  the  Department 
in  1869,  has  since  graduation  been  in 
the  active  practice  of  his  profession 
in  Saginaw,  Mich.  He  is  among  the 
leaders  of  the  Saginaw  County  Bar 
and  is  found  on  one  side  or  the  oth- 
er of  most  of  the  important  cases  tried 
in  the  Saginaw  Valley.  Mr.  Durand 
has  given  himself  entirely  to  the  prac- 
tice of  his  profession.  He  has  been 
a  conscientious,  painstaking,  and  a 
studious  lawyer.  He  has  had  little  to 
do  with  politics,  although  he  was  once 
the  Democratic  candidate  for  the  Gov- 
ernorship. Mr.  Durapd  is  highly  es- 
teemed, not  only  as  a  lawyer,  but  as 
a  public-spirited  and  progressive  citi- 
zen. 

Orlando  W.  Powers  was  graduated 
with  the  class  of  '71.  Mr.  Powers 
conmienced  the  practice  of  law  in  the 
state  of  New  York  but  soon  moved 
to  Kalamazoo,  Mich.,  where  in  the 
early  eighties  he  became  prominent  in 
Michigan  politics.  In  1885  President 
Cleveland  appointed  him  associate 
justice  of  the  supreme  court  of  Utah, 
a  position  he  resigned  in  1886  to  re- 
sume practice  at  Salt  Lake  City.  For 
twenty  years  he  has  been  prominent 
in  controversies  in  that  state  cham- 
pioning the  side  of  the  gentiles  against 
the  Mormons,  and  has  been  an  offi- 
cial member  of  several  Democratic 
National  Conventions. 

Theophilus  L.  Norval,  also  a  grad- 
uate with  the  Class  of  '71,  was  a  mem- 
ber of  the  Supreme  Court  of  Nebras- 
ka from  1889  to  1901.  He  is  an  able 
jurist  and  his  opinions  are  repeatedly 
referred  to  with  approval  by  the  courts 
of  several  states.

Of  this  class  also  were  Luther 
Short,  United  States  Consul  General 
to  Constantinople,  Turkey,  i893-'98, 
and  Charles  S.  Thomas,  Governor  of 
Colorado,  1899-1901. 

Rufus  Fleming,  United  States  Con- 
sul at  Edinburgh  since  1897,  was 
graduated  with  the  class  of  1873.  Soon 
after  graduation  he  entered  upon 
newspaper  life  with  the  Missouri  Re- 
publican at  St.  Louis,  and  then  be- 
came managing  editor  of  the  Cincin- 
nati Times  Star,  a  position  he  held 
for  several  years.  He  is  a  well- 
known  writer  on  commercial  and 
economic  subjects. 

Charles  Nelson  Potter,  a  graduate 
of  this  class,  is  now  a  justice  of  the 
supreme  court  of  Wyoming,  and  has 
been  a  member  of  that  court  since 
1895.  He  was  Chief  Justice  of  the 
court  from  1897  to  1903.  Justice  Pot- 
ter went  to  Wyoming  soon  after  grad- 
uation and  engaged  in  active  prac- 
tice. He  came  rapidly  to  the  front; 
was  prosecuting  attorney  of  his  coun- 
ty; then  member  of  the  Wyoming 
Constitutional  Convention;  then  at- 
torney general;  and  then  elected  to 
the  judicial  position  which  he  has  so 
long  and  creditably  filled. 

Arthur  A.  Bimey,  now  engaged  in 
his  profession  in  Washington,  D.  C, 
was  also  graduated  in  '73.  During 
the  first  ten  years  of  his  practice,  Mr. 
Bimey  became  distinguished  as  Uni- 
ted States  Attorney  for  the  District 
of  Columbia,  particularly  in  investi- 
gating for  the  government  specula- 
tions by  senators  in  sugar  stodc,  etc., 
and  in  proceedings  over  the  election 
of  Senator  Clark  of  Montana.  Since 
1878  he  has  been  a  Professor  of  Law 
in  Howard  University. 

In  the  Class  of  '73  also  was  Charles 
R.  Whitman,  well-known  to  the  state 
as  a  lawyer  of  marked  ability.  He 
was  state  railroad  commissioner  un- 
der Governor  Winans,  and  Regent  of 
the  University  from  1886  to  1894.  He 
IS  now  practicing  law  in  the  city  of 
Chicago. 


Clarence  M.  Burton,  of  Detroit, 
was  graduated  with  the  Class  of  '74. 
He  is  best  known  for  his  historical 
research,  having  given  special  atten- 
tion to  Detroit  and  the  Northwest. 
He  has  collected  an  extensive  library 
of  books,  pamphlets,  and  documents 
on  the  subject  and  has  contributed 
many  valuable  papers.  He  is  a  lead- 
ing authority  on  the  early  history  of 
the  Northwest  territory.  Of  this  class 
also  was  Peter  N.  Cook  of  Corunna, 
Mich.,  who  was  a  member  of  the 
Board  of  Regents  of  the  University, 
1891-1900. 

The  law  graduates  in  the  early  sev-^ 
enties  remember  well  William  Rufus 
Day,  now  an  Associate  Justice  of  the 
Supreme  Court  of  the  United  States. 
Justice  Day  studied  in  the  Law  De- 
partment during  the  years  1870-71, 
and  was  admitted  to  the  bar  in  1872. 
He  commenced  the  practice  of  the 
law  at  Canton,  Ohio.  His  life  on  the 
judicial  bench  and  as  Secretary  of 
State  under  President  McKinley  is  a 
conspicuous  part  of  history  and  de- 
monstrates his  eminent  fitness  for  the 
high  position  to  which  he  was  called 
in  1905.  Two  others  of  well-known 
promenence,  who  about  this  time  re- 
ceived their  early  education  in  law  in 
this  Department,  occur  to  us.  Joseph 
V.  Quarles,  United  States  Senator 
from  Wisconsin  from  1899  to  1905 
and  now  United  States  Judge  for  the 
Eastern  District  of  Wisconsin,  was 
a  student  in  our  Department  of  Law 
in  the  years  1866-67,  and  in  1903  re- 
ceived the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Laws 
from  the  University.  William  L. 
Penfield,  Solicitor  in  the  United  States 
Department  of  State  since  1897,  a 
well-known  authority  on  international 
law  and  frequently  prominent  as 
counsel  before  international  boards  of 
arbitration,  was  a  student  in  law  with 
the  class  of  '72,  having  received  his 
literary  degree  from  this  University 
with  the  class  of  '70. 

Among  those  graduated  with  the 
Class  of  '75  was  Seneca  Haselton,  a

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[March 


Judge  of  the  Supreme  Court  of  the 
State  of  Vermont  since  1902.  In 
1904-05  Judge  Haselton  was  United 
States  Minister  to  Venezuela.  In 
this  class  also  was  John  B.  Clayberg 
of  Helena,  Mont.  For  several  years 
Mr.  Clayberg  has  delivered  lectures 
in  the  Law  Department  on  mining 
law  and  irrigation  law,  subjects  in 
which  he  has  been  recognized  as  an 
authority  throughout  the  West. 

Russell  C.  Ostrander  was  graduated 
with  the  Class  of  '76.  He  entered 
upon  the  practice  of  the  law  at  Lans- 
ing, Mich.,  and  gave  his  attention 
quite  exclusively  to  his  profession. 
His  scholarly  attainments  at  the  bar 
soon  attracted  attention.  He  was 
elected  prosecuting  attorney  of  Ing- 
ham County  and  mayor  of  his  city, 
but  political  attainments  were  not  to 
his  liking  and  he  returned  to  private 
practice.  In  1895  he  was  made  a 
member  of  the  state  board  of  law  ex- 
aminers, a  position  he  filled  until  he 
was  elected  an  associate  justice  of  the 
supreme  court  of  the  State  of  Mich- 
igan in  1904.  He  is  in  every  way  qual- 
ified by  education  and  training  for 
this  high  place,  and  his  opinions 
handed  down  are  a  credit  to  his  Alma 
Mater.  Among  the  other  graduates 
in  this  class  was  Charles  C.  Hopkins, 
who  has  been  clerk  of  the  Supreme 
Court  of  the  State  since  1887. 

In  the  Class  of  '78  there  were  sev- 
eral men  who  have  gained  distinction 
in  the  profession.  Prominent  among 
those  whose  names  come  up  as  we 
think  of  this  class  is  that  of  George 
Proctor  Wanty.  He  went  to  Grand 
Rapids  immediately  upon  his  gradua- 
tion and  there  continued  in  the  prac- 
tice of  his  profession  until  called  to 
the  bench  of  the  federal  court  for  the 
Western  District  of  Michigan  in  1900, 
which  position  he  held  until  his  death 
in  London,  England,  in  July,  1906. 

His  reputation  as  a  practitioner  and 
as  a  judicial  officer  carried  him  far 
toward  the  front  in  leadership  in  the 
state  and  nation.     One  of  his  pro- 


fessional associates,  speaking  of  him 
in  piiblic  address,  said  that  to  his 
mind  he  was  at  the  time  of  his  ap- 
pointment to  the  bench  "easily  the 
leader  of  the  bar  of  Western  Michi- 
gan." His  interest  in  the  advance- 
ment of  the  profession  of  the  law  was 
keen  and  effective.  President  of  the 
State  Bar  Association  in  1884,  he  was 
one  of  its  most  enthusiastic  members. 
He  was  a  regular  attendant  at  the 
meetings  of  the  National  Association 
and  at  one  time  Chairman  of  its  Gen- 
eral Council.  He  accomplished  much 
but  there  was  so  much  promise  in  his 
life  that  his  early  death  was  most 
deeply  mourned  by  the  profession  at 
large! 

Another  of  these  men  of  '78  was 
William  Leland  Carpenter.  Judge  Car- 
penter as  a  student  in  the  Depart- 
ment was  a  quiet,  earnest  man,  char- 
acteristics which  he  carried  out  into 
his  professional  life.  While  Judge 
Wanty,  upon  graduation,  went  to  the 
metropolis  of  the  western  part  of  the 
state,  his  friend.  Judge  Carpenter, 
went  to  the  metropolis  of  the  eastern 
part  of  the  state.  He  advanced  rap- 
idly in  his  profession  and  was  elected 
to  the  bench  of  the  Wayne  County 
circuit  court  in  1893.  He  remained 
on  the  bench  until  his  election  to  the 
bench  of  the  supreme  court  of  the 
State  in  November,  1902,  which  po- 
sition he  still  continues  to  occupy.  The 
standard  for  judicial  excellence  in 
Michigan  has  been  set  high  and  while 
it  is  quite  too  early  to  put  an  estimate 
upon  the  life  work  of  Judge  Carpen- 
ter, we  are  assured  by  the  work  al- 
ready accomplished  that  the  Univer- 
sity will  ever  delight  to  honor  him. 

Kingpay  Saito  is  another  of  this 
class  to  attain  judicial  honors,  in  this 
case  on  the  other  side  of  the  globe. 
Japan,  while  much  nearer  America 
than  it  was  even  in  the  days  when 
Kingpay  Saito  was  a  student  in  the 
Law  Department,  yet  is  still  so  far 
away  as  not  to  make  it  easy  to  keep 
in  touch  with  the  lives  of  those  who

go  out  from  us  to  this  country.  We 
therefore  are  not  presently  able  to 
say  how  much  farther  up  the  ladder 
he  has  climbed  in  the  last  half  dozen 
years  or  more,  but  as  early  as  IQOO 
he  was  Presiding  Judge  of  the  Dis- 
trict Court  of  Hakodate,  Japan. 

Samuel  W.  Smith,  also  of  '78,  came 
to  the  Law  School  after  having  been 
admitted  to  the  bar  and  after  gradua- 
tion went  back  to  his  home  county  to 
practice  his  profession*  in  Pontiac. 
Twice  elected  prosecuting  atomey 
of  his  county,  and  to  the  State  Senate 
in  1884,  he  was  in  1896  elected  to 
represent  the  Sixth  District  in  Con- 
gress. He  has  been  successively  elect- 
ed to  the  56th,  57th,  58th,  59th  and 
6oth  congresses  and  has  taken  high 
rank  as  a  member  of  the  Federal  Leg- 
islature. The  importance  of  his  com- 
mittee assignments  is  evidence  of  the 
esteem  in  which  he  is  held  in  Wash- 
ington. 

Few  practitioners  in  the  state  are 
recognized  as  standing  higher  in 
their  profession  than  Hon.  Alfred  E. 
Lucking,  of  Detroit,  also  of  the  law 
class  of  '78.  Always  public  spirited, 
he  sacrificed  his  professional  interests 
to  accept  a  nomination  to  Congress  in 
1902  and  was  elected.  His  is  the 
somewhat  unusual  case  of  one  ac- 
cepting political  office  without  serious 
detriment  to  his  reputation  in  his  pro- 
fession. Many  could  be  found  to  say 
that  in  certain  branches  of  his  pro- 
fessional work  he  is  surpassed  by  none 
in  the  state. 

There  are  many  others  of  this  class 
worthy  of  mention  with  these.  We 
might  speak  of  big  James  MacGregor 
Ashley,  who  has  done  other  big  things 
besides  to  grow  big;  of  Samuel  Wil- 
liam Vance,  who  at  the  time  of  his 
early  death  was  judge  of  the  31st 
judicial  circuit  of  Michigan ;  of  Hen- 
ry M.  Campbell,  conspicuous  in  the 
profession  in  the  state  for  his  learn- 
ing and  ability  as  a  practitioner,  and 
one  of  the  most  prominent  and  effec- 
tive men  in  the  Constitutional  Con- 


vention which  has  just  finished  its 
sessions ;  of  Lee  Burget  Des  Voignes, 
now  occupying  the  bench  in  the  thir- 
ty-sixth circuit  of  Michigan;  of 
Charles  William  Smith  on  the  bench 
in  the  34th  judicial  district  of  Kan- 
sas; and  many  others  among  whcnn 
may  be  some  who  have  even  surpassed 
some  of  these  whose  names  have  been 
mentioned  in  the  measure  of  their  ac- 
complishment. 

Among  those  who  took  work  with 
the  class  but  were  not  graduated  with 
it,  Henry  Wade  Rogers  is  conspic- 
uous. Mr.  Rogers  came  back  to  the 
Department  in  1882  as  Tappan  Pro- 
fessor of  Law,  and  was  made  Dean 
of  the  Department  in  1885.  He  re- 
signed this  position  in  1890  to  accept 
the  Presidency  of  Northwestern  Uni- 
versity, which  office  he  held  till  1900. 
He  then  went  to  the  Yale  Law  School 
as  Lecturer  and  became  Dean  of  that 
school  in  1903,  which  position  he  still 
holds.  Aside  from  his  administrative 
and  instructional  duties  he  has  found 
time  to  do  much  writing  on  legal  sub- 
jects, and  he  has  persistently  given 
much  time  in  support  of  every  effort 
for  the  advancement  of  the  cause  of 
legal  education  and  in  the  general 
interest  of  his  profession. 

Porter  J.  McCumber,  present  Uni- 
ted States  Senator  from  North  Da- 
kota, was  graduated  from  the  Law 
Department  of  the  University  with 
the  Class  of  1880.  The  year  follow- 
ing his  graduation  he  went  to  the 
state  of  his  present  residence  and  be- 
gan the  practice  of  law  with  6.  L. 
Bogart.  He  was  a  member  of  the 
Territorial  Legislature  in  1885  and  in 
1887,  and  was  also  State's  Attorney 
of  Richland  County.  He  was  elected 
United  States  Senator  in  1899  ^^^ 
re-elected  in  1905.  His  residence  is 
Wahpeton,  N.  Dak. 

In  the  Class  of  '81  is  the  name  of 
Gilbert  M.  Hitchcock,  of  Omaha, 
Neb.,  who  is  at  present  editor  of  the 
Omaha  Herald,  and  member  of  the 
Congress  of   1907.     Alexis  C.   An-

Abraham  Lincoln  Brick,  member  of 
Congress  from  1899  to  1907,  was  a 
member  of  the  law  class  of  '83,  study- 
ing previously  at  Cornell  and  Yale. 
He  has  also  been  a  member  of  the

1886  was  prosecuting  attorney  of  St. 
Joseph  and  LaPorte  Counties,  Ind., 
and  member  of  the  Republican  State 
Central  Committee  in  1890.  Willis  B.

of  the  17th  Judicial  District  in  1900, 
and  Horace  M.  Oren  of  Sault  Ste. 
Marie,  Mich.,  Attorney  General  of  the 
State  1899-1904,  were  also  of  this 
class. 

Ex-Governor  Richard  Yates,  of  II- 
Knois,  was  a  member  of  the  law  class 


of  1884.  He  was  a  son  of  Richard 
Yates,  the  famous  war  governor  of 
Illinois  from  1861  to  1865.  Upon 
graduation  he  became  city  attorney

From  1900  to  1905  he  was  editor  and 
part  owner  of  The  Pilgrim,  published 
at  Battle  Creek,  Mich. 

Frank  B.  Leland,  who  has  just  be- 
come Regent  of  the  University,  was 
also  a  member  of  this  class.  In  1890 
he  took  up  the  practice  of  law  in  De- 
troit, which  he  continued  until  1901, 
when  he  became  instrumental  in  the

ATHLETICS 


RELIMINARYMEET  UNEV2NTFUL 

The  preliminary  indoor  meet,  held  in 
Waterman  gymnasium  Febj  29,  was  ren- 
dered uninteresting  by  the  absence  of  Var- 
sity stars  who  were  expected  to  lead  the 
novices  in  every  event.  As  it  was  only 
one  good  contest  was  seen,  that  in  the  35- 
yard  dash  won  by  McNair,  'low,  in  :04  1/5. 
Torrey,  '11^,  who  won  both  hurdle  races 
and  the  high  jump,  made  the  best  indi- 
vidual score.  Horner,  '11,  after  winning 
the  shot  with  a  put  of  42  feet  8  1/2  inches, 
and  placing  in  the  semi-finals  in  the  dash 
and  hurdles,  injured  his  elbow  vaulting  and 
was  obliged  to  withdraw. 

Folowing  is  a  summary  of  events: 
35  yard  dash — McNair,  Craig,  Keck;  time, 

:04  1-5. 
40    yard    low    hurdles — Torrey,    Homer,

FIRST  SERIES   IN   CLASS    RELAYS 
*^.   SPIRITED 

The  first  series  in  the  annual  inter-class 
relay  races  was  held  at  the  preliminary 
meet,  and,  as  usual,  proved  close  and  in- 
teresting. The  *o8  lit  team  composed  of 
Merritt,  Dull,  Weary,  and  Magoffin  made 
the  best  time.  They  ran  the  four  laps  in 
:56  flat,  defeating  the  '09  lits  by  a  com- 
fortable margin.  All  the  teams  showed  the 
result  of  careful  training  and  took  the 
starts  in  good  form  considering  the  time 
of  the  season.  The  results  of  the  first 
eliminations  were: 

1908  lit  defeated  1909  lit 
191 1  lit  defeated  1910  lit. 

1909  engineers   defeated    191 1   engineers. 
1908  laws  defeated  1909  laws. 

191  o  laws  defeated  dents. 
Ph  armies  defeated  medics  by  default 
The   next   series   of  races   will   be  held 
after  the  Fresh-Soph  meet 


MICHIGAN  DEFEATS  OHIO  RELAY 
TliAM 

Ohio  State  University  was  represented  at 
the  Fresh-Soph  meet  by  a  relay  team  which 
was  defeated  by  the  Wolverines  after  a 
plucky  fight.  The  visitors  were  handicap- 
ped by  lack  of  experience. 

Warner  led  off  against  Millions  and  held 
his  own  splendidly.  Dull  followed  him  and 
gave  Walle  Merritt  about  a  yard  lead.  Mer- 
ritt's  opponent  fagged  on  the- last  quarter 
and  he  was  able  to  give  the  touch  to  "Spi- 
der" Coe  with  a  lead  of  about  five  yards. 
Coc's  opponent  ran  a  game  race,  but  he 
was  unable  to  touch  the  margin  set  against 
him. 

The  Ohio  team  consisted  of  Captain  Lev- 
ering, Millions,  Rogers,  and  Brown.  A 
fuller  report  of  the  meet  will  appear  next 
month.  

NEW  GAMES  ADDED  TO  BASEBALL 
SCHEDULE 

While  cage  work  began  Feb.  11  under 
Coach  Lew  McAllister  it  is  too  early  to 
forecast  of  the  probabilities  for  the  Varsity. 
Few  good  pitchers  have  demonstrated  their 
ability  but  "Mac"  has  old  men  to  fall  back 
on  for  nearly  every  position  as  well  as 
that  of  box  man.  The  infield  should  be 
almost  the  same  as  last  year,  and  it  is 
hard  to  see  what  outfielder  will  be  missing 
from  last  year's  trio  when  the  team  crosses 
bats  with  its  first  opponent 

In  the  meantime  Manager  Baird  is  stead- 
ily adding  good  games  to  the  program  al- 
ready laid  down.    Already  the  schedule  in- 
cludes  twenty-one   intercollegiate   contests, 
ten  of  which  are  arranged  for  Ferry  Field. 
To  date  the  complete  list  is : 
Apr.  II — Georgetown  at  Georgetown,  Ky. 
Apr.  13,  14— Tennessee  at  Knoxville. 
Apr.  15 — Castle  Heights  at  Lebanon. 
Apr.  16,  17,  18— Vanderbilt  at  Nashville. 
Apr.  20— Wabash  at  Crawfordsvillc, 
Apr.  25 — Case  at  Ann  Arbor. 
Apr.  29 — Ypsilanti   at   Ann   Arbor. 
May    2 — Beloit  at  Ann  Arbor. 
May    7 — Wooster  at  Ann  Arbor. 
May    9 — Georgetown  at  Ann  Arbor. 
May  13,   14 — Wabash  at  Ann  Arbor. 
May  16— Alma  at  Ann  Arbor. 
May  20 — Cornell  at  Ithaca. 
May  21 — Syracuse  at  Syracuse. 
May  23 — Brown  at  Providence. 
May  29,  30— Syracuse  at  Ann  Arbor.

The  two  teams  were  most  evenly  matched*

ed by  hard  and  accurate  passing  and  great 
skill  at  shooting  the  baskets.  The  seniors, 
last  year's  champions,  early  took  the  lead, 
and,  at  the  end  of  the  first  period  the 
score  stood  8-5  in  their  favor.

MICHIGAN  MEN  DINE 

With  speeches  by  Governor  Hughes,  Bish- 
op Potter  and  others,  the  University  of 
Midiigan  Society  of  New  York  held  its 
fiftieth  annual  dinner  March  6  at  the  Hotel 
Astor.  President  Angell  was  the  guest  of 
honor.  Greetings  were  received  from  the 
presidents  of  Yale,  Harvard,  Princeton, 
Cornell,  Columbia  and  the  University  of 
Tokio. 

Governor  Hughes  said  that  he  had  just 
"unloaded  on  the  traffic  men,  who  make 
rates  and  discriminations,"  and  was  on  his 
way  to  the  Brown  University  dinner,  but 
was  always  glad  to  speak  to  college  men.

He  was  reminded  by  President  Angell  that 
they  were  graduates  of  the  same  college. 

Following  a  discussion  of  university 
ideals  by  Dean  Russell  of  Teachers  Col- 
lege, Controller  Metz  disturbed  the  scholas- 
tic atmosphere  by  declaring  that  he  fav- 
ored more  attention  being  given  to  prac- 
tical, bread  winning  education.  The  uni- 
versities are  turning  out,  he  said,  clerical 
men  who  cannot  earn  more  than  $15  a 
week,  when  the  country  wants  "mechanical 
men  who  can  make  a  living  worth  while." 

The  country,  he  said,  needed  mechanical 
and  technical  men,  more  than  it  needed 
"impractical  fellows  of  high  education,"  In 
his  opinion,  the  state  should  not  provide  a 
free  seat  in  any  high  school  or  college  un- 
til every  girl  and  boy  under  fourteen  years 
of  age  had  one  in  the  primary  school. 

Frederic  R.  Coudert,  Professor  Calvin 
Thomas,  '74,  A.M.  'TJ,  LL.D.  '04,  of  Co- 
lumbia, President  Finley  of  the  City  Col- 
lege, and  William  McAndrew,  *86,  princi- 
pal of  the  Washington  Irving  High  School, 
paid  tribute  in  their  remarks  to  the  ser- 
vices of  President  Angell  in  the  history  of 
American  education. 

In  the  closing  address  President  Angell 
spoke  modestly  of  his  work  at  Michigan 
and  discussed  the  present  and  future  of 
the  university. 

DINNER  OF  SPOKANE  ALUMNI 

Memories  of  old  college  days  were  re- 
vived by  alumni  of  the  University  of  Mich- 
igan at  Spokane,  Wash.,  around  the  ban- 
quet table  in  the  Hall  of  the  Doges  at 
Davenport's  February  29.  Thirty-eight  old 
Michigan  men,  several  from  other  cities 
of  the  Inland  Empire,  were  present. 

Following  the  banquet  officers  of  the 
alumni  club  were  elected,  Laurence  R.  Ham- 
blen, '96/,  being  chosen  president;  Asahel 
G.  Avery,  '86/,  vice-president,  and  Dr.  Carl 
H.  Weisman,  'C4m,  secretary.  Arthur  H. 
Coe,  'SSm,  was  toastmaster,  the  speakers 
and  their  subjects  being: 

"Good  Citizenship,"  Asahel  G.  Avery, 
•86/;  "Campus  Doings,"  Edward  B.  Pow- 
ell, '01/;  "A  Dream  of  Dreams,"  Dr.  Ed- 
win L.  Kimball,  '75m;  "The  University  and 
the  Political  Bee,"  Laurence  R.  Hamblen, 
'96/;  "Michigan  Up  to  Date,"  James  S. 
Freece,  '06/;  "Varied  Experiences  of  a  Mi- 
gratory Alumnus,"  Fred  H.  Gaston,  '96/. 

A  letter  from  President  Angell  to  the 
Michigan  alumni  of  Spokane  was  read  and 
received  with  vociferous  applause.  Dr.  An- 
gell, writing  to  Winfred  S.  Gilbert,  '99/, 
of  the  program  committee,  said: 

"In  reply  to  your  telegram,  let  me  first 
express  my  regret  that  owing  to  a  misun- 


derstanding in  correspondence  I  failed  to 
attend  the  alumni  meeting  at  Seattle  last 
summer,  I  regret  equally  that  I  can  not 
meet  with  you  and  your  friends  at  Spo- 
kane on  the  29th  inst. 

First  of  all,  let  me  on  behalf  of  the  uni- 
versity express  our  hearty  thanks  that  the 
alumni  in  and  near  Spokane  are  so  loyal 
as  to  turn  aside  from  their  many  engage- 
ments and  give  an  evening  to  their  Alma 
Mater.  Such  an  act  is  most  encouraging 
and  stimulating  to  us  here  on  the  ground. 

"You  will  all  be  glad  to  hear  that  the 
institution  is  prospering.  The  legislature 
last  winter  increased  our  income  by  rais- 
ing the  tax  for  our  support  from  a  quar- 
ter of  a  mill  to  three-eighths,  thus  adding 
$216,000  to  our  annual  income  and  enabling 
us  to  take  the  much-needed  step  of  rais- 
ing salaries.  We  are  erecting  two  new 
buildings,  one  for  the  dental  college  and 
the  other  a  beautiful  memorial  building,  in 
which  we  may  commemorate  the  services 
of  our  brave  soldiers  who  gave  their  lives 
for  their  country  in  the  civil  war  and  in 
the  Spanish  war,  and  also  of  eminent  pro- 
fessors and  other  benefactors  of  the  insti- 
tution. 

"You  will  also  be  interested  to  know  that 
our  forthcoming  calendar  will  enroll  the 
names  of  more  than  5,000  students  who  are 
in  attendance  this  year. 

"In  their  name  we  send  our  hearty  salu- 
tations to  the  devoted  alumni  in  the  Paci- 
fic states,  who  are  so  worthily  representing 
us  in  all  honorable  vocations. 

Yours  very  truly, 

"James  B.  Angell."

William  H.  H.  Beadle,  '6i,  A.M.  '64.  '67/, 
LL.D.  *02,  celebrated  his  seventieth  birth- 
day on  January  i  at  the  twenty-fifth  an- 
nual session  of  the  South  Dakota  Educa- 
tional Association.  In  the  constitutional 
convention  of  1889,  he  fought  political  in- 
terests single-handed  and  obtained  a  pro- 
vision prohibiting  the  sale  of  school  lands 
at  less  than  $10  an  acre.  At  this  time 
Wisconsin  and  Minnesota  were  selling  as 
low  as  50c  an  acre  in  the  hope  of  gaining 
settlers  who  would  become  tax  payers. 
Owing  to  her  more  conservative  policy, 
South  Dakota  now  has  2,500,000  acres  of 
school  lands  for  common  schools  and  600,- 
000  acres  of  endowment  lands  for  state 
institutions.  The  state  has  now  determined 
to  offer  5P»ooo  acres  for  sale  annually  at 
an  average  of  $35  an  acre,  thus  gaining  a 
permanent  fund  of  over  $100,000^000  which 
will  yield  $5,000,000  annually  in  interest  for 
distribution  among  the  public  schools.  The 
state  realizes  that  this  showing  would  have 
been  impossible  but  for  the  remarkable  fore- 
sight of  General  Beadle. 

The  General  received  his  title  in  1865 
when  he  served  as  Brevet  Brigadier-Gen- 
eral with  the  United  Sutcs  Volunteers. 
At  the  close  of  the  war  he  entered  the  law 
department  of  the  University  and  was  grad- 
uated in  1867.  He  soon  located  in  South 
Dakota  and  became  Surveyor  General 
Later  he  was  Superintendent  of  Public  In- 
struction for  the  Territory  and  for  many 
years  he  was  President  of  the  South  Da- 
kota State  Normal  at  Madison,  So.  Dak., 
where  he  still  resides,  though  retired  from 
active  life.  A  recent  article  on  his  career 
has  termed  General  Beadle,  "The  Father 
of  Education  in  the  Two  Dakotas."

Buffalo,    N.    Y.,    Secretary. 

Arthur  O'Neill,  '64m,  was  bom  in  Half 
Moon  Valley,  Eastern  Pennsylvania,  June, 
1837.  He  was  graduated  from  Allegheny 
College  in  1854  and  later  from  Duff's  Com- 
mercial College,  Pittsburg,  Pa.  He  was 
principal  of  the  school  at  Clarion,  Pa.,  for 
several  years  before  entering  the  medical 
department  of  the  University,  from  which 
he  was  graduated  in  1864.    In  October  of 


the  same  year  he  entered  army  service  as 
contract  surgeon  at  Louisville,  Ky.,  and 
was  with  General  Sherman's  forces  on  the 
March  to  the  Sea.  He  was  mustered  out 
of  service  in  April,  1865,  and  then  located 
at  Meadville,  Pa.,  to  practice  his  profes- 
sion. Dr.  O'Neill  remained  here  eight 
years  during  which  time  he  was  president 
of  the  Crawford  County  medical  society 
and  also  of  the  State  Medical  Society.  He 
moved  to  Conneautville,  Pa.,  about  1874, 
and  practiced  here  for  a  period  of  fifteen 
years.  He  then  spent  five  years  at  Par- 
kersburg,  W.  Va.,  before  his  removal  to 
Knoxville,  Tenn.,  on  account  of  failing 
health.  His  death  occurred  in  1899,  after 
an  acute  attack  of  pneumonia.  Dr.  O'- 
Neill was  married  twice  and  two  of  his 
five  children  survive  him.  His  wife  may 
be  addressed  at  1122  Market  St,  Parkers- 
burg,  W.  Va.

A  memorial  meeting  in  honor  of  the  late 
Willoughby  Dayton  Miller,  '75,  PhD. 
(Hon.)  '85,  was  held  in  November  at  the 
University  of  Berlin  in  which  he  had  been 
a  professor  for  some  twenty  years  previous 
to  his  return  to  America  to  become  Dean 
of  the  Michigan  Dental  Department.  An- 
nouncement was  made  that  the  dentists  of 
Germany  had  established  a  Miller  fountain 
in  Berlin  and  that  the  dentists  of  several 
countries  had  united  to  establish  a  Miller 
Medal,  which  is  to  be  conferred  regularly 
in  recognition  of  achievements  in  the  pro-

Allegheny  County,  Pa.,  April  16,  1859,  the 
son  of  the  Rev.  Robert  and  Emily  E.  Car- 
others.  After  receiving  his  early  educa- 
tion in  the  schools  of  Vinton,  Iowa,  he  re- 
moved in  1883  to  Dakota,  where  he  located 
in  Grand  Forks  County.  He  entered  the 
Law  School  of  this  University  in  '87  and 
was  graduated  in  '89.  He  then  began  up- 
on the  practice  of  his  profession  in  Grand 
Forks.  In  1890  he  was  elected  County 
Judge,  which  position  he  held  for  ten 
years.  Hie  was  married  in  1895  to 
Helen  R.  Fulton.  At  one  time  he  was 
Grand  Master  of  the  Masons  of  the  State. 
He  was  also  a  member  of  several  other 
benevolent  and  fraternal  organizations,  and 
at  the  time  of  his  death  was  a  member  of 
the  city  council.  He  died  Tuesday  morn- 
ing, Feb.  4,  as  a  result  of  a  critical  illness 
following  an  operation.  He  is  survived 
by  his  wife  and  three  children,  his  mother, 
one  sister  and  a  brother. 


MICHAEL  ALEXANDER  ADOLPH  MEY- 
ENDORFF 

Michael  Alexander  Adolph  Meyendorf! 
was  born  Dec.  3.  1849  in  Letwenia  Province 
in  Russian  Poland,  the  son  of  a  Polish 
nobleman  of  rank.  When  he  was  two  years 
old,  his  parents  removed  to  the  State  of 
Minsk,  where  he  remained  until  1863,  at- 
tending meanwhile  the  government  school 
(Gymnasium)  for  three  years.  In  the  same 
year,  at  the  age  of  thirteen,  he  joined  in 
a  Polish  insurrection  and  with  three  older 
brothers,  fought  in  three  battles,'  and  was 
taken  prisoner  in  the  latter  part  of  June, 
1863.  For  seven  months  he  was  kept  in  pris- 
on, six  of  which  were  in  solitary  confine- 
ment, and  then  banished  to  Tobolsk,  Siberia, 
for  life.  For  seven  months  he  traveled  on 
foot  to  reach  this  place,  where  he  remained 
for  nine  months,  when  he  was  banished 
from  Tobolsk  to  Tomsk,  800  miles  further, 
where  he  remained  nine  months,  until  the 
United  States  government  on  account  of 
the  distinguished  services  of  his  half  broth- 
er. Col.  Julian  Allen  of  New  York,  during 


the  Civil  war,  interceded  for  him  and  his 
banishment  was  changed  from  Siberia  to 
America.  He  reached  New  York,  Apr.  14 
1866,  and  immediately  entered  the  Univer- 
sity, from  which  he  was  graduated  with 
the  class  of  '70. 

Immediately  after  graduation  he  became 
a  railroad  surveyor,  largely  in  the  West. 
In  June,  1873,  he  became  chief  mineral 
clerk  in  the  surveyor  general's  office  at 
Helena,  Mont.,  starting  in  business  for 
himself  a  year  later  as  a  surveyor  and 
agent  for  patents.  In  1876  he  was  ap- 
pointed melter  in  the  United  States  Assay 
office  at  Helena,  Mont.,  a  position  which 
he  held  until  the  summer  of  1893.  In  1894 
he  became  city  engineer  of  Helena,  Mont. 
In  August,  1896,  he  was  called  to  the 
Republican  party  headquarters  at  Chicago 
to  take  charge  of  the  Polish  voters  of  the 
United  States.  On  Dec.  13,  1897,  he  was 
appointed  special  agent  of  the  General  Land 
Office  at  Duluth,  Minn.,  being  transferred 
to  Boise,  Idaho,  in  1899,  and  in  1901  to 
Rapid  City,  S.  Dak.,  at  which  place  he 
remained  until  December,  1902,  when  he 
was  again  transferred  to  Seattle,  Wash. 
He  died  at  Portland,  Ore.,  Feb.  7,  1908. 
He  was  unmarried. 


CHARLES  KENDALL  PERRINE 

Charles  Kendall  Perrine  was  born  in 
Seneca  County,  N.  Y.,  in  185 1,  removing 
to  Michigan  in  1853  with  his  parents,  who 
took  up  their  residence  some  four  miles 
from  Leslie.  He  was  graduated  from  the 
University  in  1878,  receiving  his  M.A.  in 
*8i.  Following  his  graduation  he  contin- 
ued in  the  profession  of  teaching  until  ^89, 
when  he  engaged  in  the  law  and  real  es- 
tate business  at  Jackson,  where  he  resided 
for  ten  years.  Subsequently  he  lived  in 
Albion,  Grand  Rapids,  Detroit,  and  Ann 
Arbor,  where  for  one  year  he  acted  as 
Secretary  of  the  School  of  Music.  He 
was  married  in  '84  to  Miss  Eva  Tufts. 
He  died  at  Ann  Arbor  Feb.  14,  1908,  fol- 
lowing an  attack  of  acute  pneumonia.  He 
was  buried  at  Leslie,  Mich.  He  is  sur- 
vived  by   four   sisters   and   one   brother.

THE  WILL  TO  DOUBT 

This  book  of  Professor  Lloyd's  forms 
one  of  the  Ethical  Library  edited  by  J.  H. 
Muirhead.  Its  purpose  may  be  given  in 
his  own  words.     These   chapters  are  **the 


attempt  of  a  university  teacher  of  philoso- 
phy to  meet  what  is  a  real  emergency  of 
the  day,  namely,  the  doubt  that  is  appear- 
ing in  so  many  departments  of  life,  that 
is   affecting   so   many  people,   and   that   is

fraught  with  so  many  dangers,  and  in  at- 
tempting this  they  would  also  at  least  help 
to  bridge    the    chasm    between     academic 
sophistication  and  practical  life;   self-con- 
tciousness    and     positive    activity."     That 
there  is  need  for  an  earnest,  yet  sympathetic, 
examination  of  doubt  few  who  know  the 
situation  in  the  various  provinces  of  knowl- 
edge will  deny. 
The  Sea  of  Faith 
Was  once,  too,  at  the  full,  .   .   . 
*  ****** 

But  now  I  only  hear 

Its  melancholy,  long  withdrawing  roar." 
If,  then,  doubt  is  so  pervasive,  it  were 
well  to  unburden  our  souls  by  a  mutual 
confession.  "We  are  all  universal  doubters 
in  the  sense  that  every  one  of  us  doubts 
something,  and  there  is  nothing  which  some 
of  us  have  not  doubted."  Even  more  than 
this  can  be  asserted  for  a  closer  scrutiny 
discloses  that  doubt  is  inseparable  from 
life.  "Doubt  is  a  phase,  nay,  a  vital  condi- 
tion of  all  consciousness.  To  be  a  conscious 
creature  is  to  be  a  doubting  creature."  But 
even  in  this  evil  case,  we  may  gather  com- 
fort from  the  fact  that,  "doubt  is  necessary 
to  life,  to  real  life,  to  deep  experience."  It 
challenges  attention  that  in  the  midst  of 
exhortations  to  belief  and  in  the  face  of 
what  superticially  appears  to  be  an  uncriti- 
cal faith  or,  perhaps  more  truly,  an  unduly 
eager  yearning  for  settled  opinions,  the 
necessity  for  and  function  of  doubt  should 
be  so  clearly  presented.  "A  spirit  of  truth, 
a  principle  of  validity,  then  is,  to  which  the 
very  faults  of  experience  give  witness,  and 
in  view  of  this  we  who  doubt,  who  doubt 
the  particular  things,  the  creeds  and  the 
objects  generally,  the  definite  forms  and 
ideas,  the  habits  and  standpoint  of  our 
everyday  life  or  our  scientific  theory,  may 
yet  believe;  we  may  believe  in  the  real 
spirit,  or  power,  which  makes  all  things 
parties  to  the  divided  labor  of  a  real  life." 

Some  of  the  chapters  are  undoubtedly 
somewhat  technical,  but  this  was  unavoid- 
able if  the  doubts  raised  by  "science's  ob- 
jectivity, specialism  and  agnosticism"  were 
to  be  explained  in  the  light  of  the  "peculiar 
limitations"  imposed  by  special  standpoints. 
Even  the  general  reader,  however,  may 
glean  much  of  value  from  these  pages.  And 
this  leads  me  to  say  that  just  as  much  of 
the  book  has  taken  form  and  meaning  from 
years  of  meditation  so  it  will  best  repay 
a  serious  and  reflective  approach  on  the 
part  of  the  reader.  It  is  a  book,  in  my 
opinion,  worthy  to  live  into  and  to  become 
intimate  with. 

In  conclusion,  I  would  call  attention  to 
the  last  chapters  in  which  belief  shines 
through  doubt  and  is  thereby  transfigured. 
"We  believe  through  our  doubts;  we  be- 


lieve not  in  something  apart,  but  in  the 
very  things  we  doubt."  Reality  is  an 
achievement,  not  a  gift;  this  is  Professor 
Lloyd's  message  which  has  in  it  more  than 
a  suggestion  of  moral  and  religious  fervor. 
Perhaps  some  of  us  have  not  the  vision  to 
see  "the  lark  within  the  songless  eg^*  nor 
can  we  "Cleave  ever  to  the  sunnier  side 
of  doubt,"  but,  withal,  we  cannot  but  feel 
heartened  by  the  synoptic  outlook  and  by 
the  mingling  of  humor  and  exhortatioh  to 
an  intellectual  conscience  that  gives  a  dis- 
tinct tone  to  these  pages.  R.  W.  S.

THE  THURSTON 
Teachers'  Agency 

Join  the  Agency  that  PcreeoAlly  Rccommcnde 

"  During  my  last  vear  at  the  University  of  Michi- 
gan I  joined  several  prominent  teachers'  agencies, 
and  wrote  many  applications  for  positions  as 
notices  of  vacancies  came.  I  finally  secured  a 
position,  bnt  not  by  reason  of  assistance  from  any 
of  them.  Being  still  anxious  for  advancement,  but 
now  somewhat  skeptical  as  to  the  helpfulness  of 
agencies,  I  was  induced  by  a  friend  to  try  Miss 
lliarston's.  In  a  short  time  I  was  elected  to  a  posi- 
tion at  a  larger  salary  than  I  had  ever  before  drawn 
in  teaching  profession. 

"If  yon  want  a  position,  join   Miss  Thurston's 
Afency;  if  you  enjoy  an  extended  correspondence, 
join  the  others."       Commissioner  of  Schools, 
Hillsdale,  Michigan 

**  I  hold  my  present  position  as  language  teacher 
in  the  high  school  of  Hast  Chicago,  Ind.,  as  the  result 
of  an  application  through  the  Thurston  Agency." 

High  School,  Joliet,  111.— "I  received  rayposition 
throngh  the  Agency  of  Mfss  Anna  M.  Thurston. 
She  seems  to  me  to  keep  in  touch  with  the  best 
schools  in  this  part  of  the  country,  and  shows  per- 
sonal interest  in  those  for  whom  she  is  working."

to  subscribe  until  he  ceases  to  grow."

Tales   More    Fascinating   and    Exciting  tKan  ''TKe  Arabian 
NigKts"  or  <<FrencK  Court  Memoirs." 

I  have  secured  the  sets  of  Pail  de  Kock,  wliicli  were  awarded  the  Gold  Medal  at  St. 
Louis.  Rather  than  rebind  -these  sets — which  were  slightly  damaged  in  handling — I  will 
dispose  of  them  at  one-half  price  (just  a  trifle  more  than  manufacturing  cost)  as  long  as 
they  last,  and  upon  small  payments  if  desired.  But  to  secure  one  it  will  be  necessary 
for  you  to  write  at  once.  To  expedite  matters  and  avoid  being  disappointed,  when  you 
write  please  state  whether  you  wish  a  cloth  set,  half-morocco,  three-quarter  levant,  or  full 
binding. 

ItAXJl^  D£   KOOK    frxnch  humorist 

has  written  sparkling,  witty,  amusing,  riveting  novels — antidotes  for  melancholy.  The  stories 
race  merrily  along,  nothing  didactic  or  dull ;  as  original  as  lioccaccio,  as  mirthful  as  Gil 
Bias,  as  fascinating  as  the  Oriental  Tales,  and  as  captivating  as  the  Dl\ries  of  the  French 
Maids.  These  stories  are  unexpurgated  and  translated  with  fidelity  into  English.  The  best 
authorities  have  adjudged  them  classics,  ranking  with  Smollett,  Sterne,  "The  Arabian 
Nights."  and  Balzac.

Do  You  Realize  ? 

In  the  Poison  Cupboard  of  the  Drug  Store,  * 'Caffeine"  (the  alkaloid  from 
coffee  and  tea)  is  alongside  of  Cocaine,  Morphine,  Strychnine,  etc. 

This  drug,  put  in  coffee  by  Nature,  may  be  all  right  as  a  medicine  when 
skillfully  handled  by  a  physician,  but  was  never  intended  to  be  used  as  a  beverage. 

In  many  persons  this  constant  drugging  sets  up  disease — such  as  nervous- 
ness, indigestion,  weak  eyes,  palpitation,  liver  and  kidney  trouble,  etc.  You 
may  be  sure  a  day  of  reckoning  will  come,  when  ailments  become  chronic. 

If  there  are  signs  of  trouble  in  you,  and  if  you  care  again  to  feel  the  old- 
time  **go"  of  physical  and  mental  poise — the  luxury  of  being  perfectly  well — try 
a  ID  day's  change  from  coffee  to 

POSTUM 

This  will  bring  relief  from  the  poison — caffeine — and  you'll  know.

THIR.D    EDITION 

By  JOHN    LEWIS 

The  author  has  endeavored  to  preserve,  as  far  as  possible,  the  text  of  the 
former  edition.  Owing  to  the  large  amount  of  new  matter  which  has  accumu- 
lated during  the  i8  years  which  have  elapsed  since  the  publication  of  the  former 
edition,  the  subject  has  grown  considerably.  The  work  now  embraces  2,000 
pages  and  has  over  30,000  citations. 

AMONG  THE  NEW  QUESTIONS  ARE 

The  right  to  recover  damages  for  fright  and  mental  anguish  and 
their  consequences. 

Malicious  civil  suits. 

The  right  of  privacy  and  its  violation. 

Wrongs  to  trade  and  labor  by  combinations  and  unions. 

The  'wife^i  suit  for  the  alienation  of  the  husband^s  a£Fections. 

Liability  of  the  maker  or  vendor  of  an  article  to  persons  not  in 
privity  of  contract. 

SOME  OF  THE  NEW  FEATURES  ARE 

MASTER  AND  SERVANT 

The  Chapter  on  this  subject  has  been  more  than  tripled  and  more 
than  2,000  ne^v  cases,  selected  fromjmany  thousands,  have  been 
added. 

NEGUGENCE 

The  chapters  on  negligence  have  been  more  than  doubled  and 
many  ne^v  topics  have  been  included. 

NUISANCES 
The  chapter  on  this  important  subject  has  been  nearly  doubled 
and  considerably  strengthened. 

SLANDER  AND  LIBEL 
The  treatment  of  the  subject  has  been  greatly  enlarged.    Many 
new  cases  have  been  added,  covering  many  new  points.

Teachers  Wanted  "^Ahooi, 


ME  are  already  beginning  to  receive  inquiries  for  teachers  for  next  year. 
Last  year  we  had  over  four  times  as  many  calls  as  we  had  candidates 
for  good  positions  as  teachers  of  Shorthand.  These  positions  offered 
salaries  rangring  all  the  way  from  $75.00  to  $125.00  or  more  per  month.  Tlie 
present  outlook  is  that  the  demand  will  be  still  greater  this  year. 

We  have  also  to  fill  several  places  in  large  Normal  Schools  where  University 
men  are  wanted  to  give  a  Teachers'  Training  Course  in  Shorthand.    These  places 
are  especially  desirable.    Our  Shorthand  Training  Course  fits  one  to  do  such  work. 
We  have  a 

Special  Proposition  to  Senior  Lits 

who  expect  to  teach  as  well  as  for  those  who  have  g^duated  and  are  already 
teaching. 

Call  at  the  School  of  Shorthand  or  write  us  for  full  particulars  in  regard  to 
this  special  offer.

EVENT  AND  COA4MENT 


In  common    with  all 
REQUIREMENTS  the    departments    of 

IN  THE  MEDI-      ,|,^      T  T«;«^,.e;f,r       fViA 
CAL  SCHOOL        the     ^^^^"^i>r^. 

Department  of  Medi- 
cine and  Surgery  has  shown  steady 
and  consistent  increase  in  require- 
ments for  admission  and  for  gradua- 
tion. The  department  was  opened  to 
students  in  1850.  For  many  years  the 
requirements  for  admission  were  es- 
sentially the  same  as  those  published 
in  the  first  announcement,  namely,  a 
good  English  education,  a  knowledge 
of  natural  philosophy,  and  of  the  ele- 
mentary mathematical  sciences,  and  an 
acquaintance  with  Latin  and  Greek, 
although  in  1859  the  requirement  in 
Greek  was  dropped  from  the  list. 
These  entrance  requirements  prevailed 
until  1890,  when  they  were  advanced 
to  a  diploma  from  the  classical  or 
Latin  course  of  an  approved  high 
school.  The  requirements  were  again 
modified  in  1896  by  requiring,  instead 
of  a  high  school  diploma,  a  certificate 
showing  that  the  candidate  had  passed 
certain  prescribed  subjects.  The  list 
embraced  a  good  knowledge  of  Eng- 
lish, mathematics  through  geometry, 
general  and  American  history,  physics, 
diemistry,  botany  and  zoology,  or 
biology,  Latin  gp-ammar  and  Caesar. 
To  this  list  was  added  in  1901  plane 
trigonometry  and  a  reading  knowledge 
of  either  German  or  French.  C  This 
constant  increase  in  the  entrance  re- 
quirements was  necessitated  by  the 
gradual  extension  of  the  medical  cur- 


riculum, its  general  improvement  and 
a  constant  advance  in  the  character  of 
the  work  offered.  From  1850  to  1877 
the  medical  course  extended  from 
October  to  April.  A  candidate  for  a 
degree  was  required  to  have  attended 
two  full  courses  of  lectures,  and  to 
have  spent  one  year  with  a  practi- 
tioner. In  1877  the  course  was  ex- 
tended to  two  years  of  nine  months 
each,  and  in  1880  to  three  years  of 
nine  months  each,  and  in  1890  the 
compulsory  term  of  study  was  extend- 
ed to  four  years  of  nine  months  each. 
The  three  years'  course  allowed  the 
establishment  of  ^  graded  curriculum, 
and  the  addition  of  the  fourth  year 
permitted  further  gradation,  and  gave 
opportunity  for  extended  laboratory 
teaching.  The  main  features  of  the 
curriculum  in  operation  since  1890 
have  been  sequence  and  concentration 
of  the  subjects  presented,  abundant 
laboratory  teaching,  and  a  general  sur- 
vey of  each  branch  by  means  of  lec- 
tures, recitations  and  demonstrations. 
With  this  advance  in  the  methods  of 
teaching  a  better  preparation  of  the 
student  became  necessary.  C  The 
department  has  announced  that,  be- 
ginning with  September,  1909,  all  stu- 
dents entering  will  be  required  to 
bring  from  the  Dean  of  the  Literar\' 
Department  a  certificate  showing  that 
they  have  completed  the  equivalent  of 
two  years  of  work  (60  hours)  in  that 
department.  These  60  hours  must  in- 
clude, among  other  things,  a  year  of

cx>llegiate  work  in  biology,  in  physics 
and  in  chemistry,  and  at  least  a  read- 
ing knowledge  of  one  modem  lan- 
guage. C  This  further  increase  in 
the  entrance  requirements  is  in  har- 
mony with  the  tendencies  in  Depart- 
ments of  Medicine  associated  with  the 
prominent  universities  in  the  United 
States.  The  Universities  of  Minne- 
sota, Wisconsin  and  California  already 
demand  two  years  of  collegiate  work 
for  entrance  to  their  Medical  Depart- 
ments. The  Medical  Department  of 
Western  Reserve  University  requires 
three  years ;  and  the  Medical  Depart- 
ments of  Johns  Hopkins  and  Harvard 
University  require  a  collegiate  degree 
for  entrance.  It  is  of  interest  to  note 
that  27  medical  colleges  will,  by  1910, 
require  two  or  more  years  and  60 
medical  colleges  one  or  more  years  of 
work  in  a  liberal  arts  college  for  ad- 
mission to  the  study  of  medicine.  For 
the  time  being  this  will  materially  re- 
duce the  number  of  medical  students 
in  the  better  medical  schools,  and  this 
department  will  suffer  in  this  respect 
with  others.  It  is  hoped,  however, 
that  the  class  of  students  will  be 
greatly  improved,  and  that  the  g^du- 
ates  will  be  of  a  much  higher  order. 


Recognition  '  of  the 
HONOR  TO  WHOM  investigations  carried 
HONOR  IS  DUB  on  by  various  mem- 
bers of  the  Medical 
Faculty  of  the  University  has  recently 
come  from  several  foreign  societies. 
For  some  years  past  Dr.  Vaughan,  his 
assistants  and  students  have  been  en- 
gaged in  the  study  of  proteid  poisons. 
This  work  was  begun  some  ten  years 
ago  when  he  devised  a  tank  in  which 
bacteria  can  be  grown  in  large  amount. 
Typhoid  and  other  bacilli  are  are 
planted  over  large  surfaces,  are  har- 
vested and  purified  and  the  poisonous 
part  obtained.  It  has  been  found  in 
this  work  that  all  proteids,  not  only 
those  of  bacterial  origin,  but  vegetable 
and  animal  proteids  as  well,  contain  a 


poisonous  group.  The  medical  pro- 
fession has  long  suspected  that  this 
might  be  the  case,  but  until  this  work 
was  done  no  one  had  succeeded  in  iso- 
lating the  poisonous  body.  C  It  is 
interesting  to  note  that  from  such  bac- 
teria as  the  typhoid  bacillus,  after  the 
poisonous  group  has  been  removed, 
the  non-poisonous  residue  can  be  used 
in  immunizing  animals  to  typhoid 
fever.  From  egg-white,  from  the 
casein  of  milk,  from  the  gluten  of 
flour,  and  from  various  other  proteids, 
poisonous  and  non-poisonous  groups 
have  been  obtained.  It  has  been  defi- 
nitely shown  that  the  non-poisonous 
portions  of  these  proteids  may  be  suc- 
cessfully utilized  either  in  the  immuni- 
zation or  the  sensitizaticm  of  animals. 
This  work  promises  to  be  of  great 
benefit  not  only  in  the  study  of  in- 
fectious diseases,  but  in  those  of  auto- 
genous origin  as  well.  In  the  Feb- 
ruary, 1908,  number  of  the  Annals  of 
the  Pasteur  Institute  Drs.  NicoUe  and 
Abt  have  gone  over  the  work  of  Dr. 
Vaughan  and  his  assistants  and  have 
confirmed  it,  in  a  report  in  which  the 
French  scientists  speak  in  most  com- 
plimentary terms  of  the  work  "con- 
ceived in  Ann  Arbor."  C  E)r.  Fred- 
erick G.  Novy  has  also  been  appointed 
a  member  of  the  American  committee 
on  the  Schaudinn  Medal,  which  is 
awarded  annually  for  research  work 
in  recent  years  in  bacteriology  and 
protozoology.  This  medal  was  estab- 
lished by  the  friends  of  Schaudinn,  a 
German  bacteriologist,  who  died  in 
1006,  in  the  Hamburg  Institute  for 
Tropical  Diseases,  to  honor  of  his 
memory.  The  international  commit- 
tee is  composed  in  part  as  follows: 
the  four  German  members  are  Koch, 
Erlich,  Hertwig,  and  Butschli;  the 
four  Frenchmen  include  Lavaran, 
Roux,  Metchnikoff,  and  Blanchard; 
the  four  English  members  are  Man- 
son,  Ross,  Lancaster,  and  Nutall; 
while  Celli,  Grassi,  and  Golgi  repre- 
sent the  Italians.  The  other  Americas

Dr.  Novy  is  Wilson,  of  Columbia. 
This  committee  as  a  whole  includes 
four  Nobel  prize  winners.  Dr.  Novy 
has  also  been  made  an  associate  mem- 
ber of  the  Societe  de  Pathologie  Exo- 
tique  of  Paris,  of  which  there  are  only 
twenty  foreign  associate  members. 


It  is  yet^too  early  to 
THAT  RECENT  discuss  *the  rccent 
DISTURBANCE  "riot,"  so-callcd,  with 
a  knowledge  of  all 
the  facts  involved.  A  judicial  investi- 
gation is  pending  for  the  purpose  of 
ascertaining  the  facts,  and  dealing 
with  them  as  the  public  authorities 
deem  wise.  Upon  some  things,  how- 
ever, there  seems  to  be  little  dispute. 
One  Reynolds,  operating  a  nickel  mov- 
ing picture  establishment,  the  Star 
''theater,"  on  Washington  street,  in 
Ann  Arbor,  apparently  has  had  little 
aptitude  for  getting  along  without 
friction  with  those  who  are  pat- 
rons of  his  house.  There  seems  to 
have  been  some  trouble  in  this  place 
two  nights  before  in  which  a  student 
of  the  University  was  injured  more  or 
less  seriously.  His  student  friends  ap- 
parently considered  this  injury  with- 
out provocation.  They  became  arous- 
ed and  through  some  concert  of  action 
visited  the  place  on  the  evening  of 
March  22,  with  probably  no  very  defi- 
nite design  other  than  to  make  it  un- 
pleasant for  the  proprietor.  There 
resulted,  however,  a  conflict  with  the 
proprietor  and  the  public  authorities, 
considerable  injury  to  the  building, 
and  the  arrest  of  eighteen  students. 
Fifteen  of  these  were  charged  with 
rioting  and  three  with  disorderly  con- 
duct. The  three  charged  with  disor- 
derly conduct,  upon  their  plea  of 
guilty,  were  discharged  upon  the  pay- 
ment of  fines  imposed.  The  otficrs 
were  bound  over  to  the  circuit  court 
for  trial,  some  after  examinations  held 
and  others  upon  waiver  of  their  ex- 
amination. C  It  seems  true  that  pri- 
vate property  was  more  or  less  seri- 


ously injured,  and  by  students  of  the 
University,  and  without  justification. 
That  there  may  have  been  some  provo- 
cation, there  seems  to  be  some,  reason 
for  concluding.  Nevertheless,  it  is 
certain  that  the  injury  of  persons  or 
private  property  at  the  hands  of  stu- 
dents, or  anyone  else,  upon  the  theory 
that  they  were  justified  in  taking  the 
law  into  their  own  hands  and  adminis- 
tering it  as  they  saw  fit,  is  not  to  be 
upheld,  and  that  somebody  '  should 
answer  for  the  injury  goes  without 
argument.  Two  other  facts  seem  to 
be  established  in  the  minds  of  those 
who  have  any  adequate  knowledge  of 
the  circumstances.  In  the  first  place 
a  large  proportion  of  the  students 
arrested  probably  had  nothing  to  do 
with  the  injury,  save  through  their 
presence  on  the  street  as  ordookers, 
and  in  the  second  place  the  three  stu- 
dents accused  of  disorderly  conduct 
and  fined  upon  their  plea  of  guilty, 
were  in  no  proper  sense  gfuilty  as 
charged,  but  to  escape  injury  and  an- 
noyance preferred  to  pay  the  fines  as- 
sessed and  avoid  a  prosecution.  C  On 
such  an  occasion  it  is  a  difficult  matter 
for  public  officials  to  apprehend  and 
bring  to  punishment  those  who  are 
most  culpable,  and  it  is  not  strange 
that  persons  in  no  great  degree  re- 
sponsible for  the  trouble  should  some- 
times be  arrested.  The  difficulties  in 
the  way  of  securing  those  who  are 
most  actively  engaged  are  more  ser- 
ious than  many  people  imagine.  This 
would  not  justify  the  arrest  of  per- 
sons entirely  innocent  unless  circum- 
stances fairly  indicate  that  they  were 
guilty.  These  conditions  suggest  a 
question  so  often  mooted;  whether 
public  authorities  are  dealing  wisely 
or  fairly  with  the  student  body.  Some 
are  prone  to  go  so  far  as  to  suggest 
that  the  student  body  is  looked  upon 
as  a  proper  source  of  inccmie  for  those 
charged  with  the  administration  of 
the  law.  We  are  not  inclined  to  sym- 
pathize very  strongly  with  this  view, 
but    we    do    regard    it    as    unfortu-

nate,  that  the  criminal  law  is  admin- 
istered upon  the  theory  that  the  more 
people  arrested  the  larger  the  fees  of 
the  officers  involved,  including  both 
the  arresting  and  the  judicial  officers. 
C  While  all  the  officers  engaged  in  the 
administration  of  criminal  justice  in 
the  City  of  Ann  Arbor  may  be  proof 
against  temptations  which  naturally 
come  from  such  a  condition,  we  can- 
not escape  the  conclusion  that  the  sys- 
tem is  bad.  It  certainly  is  true  that 
the  student  body  furnishes  an  excel- 
lent opportunity  for  making  the  most 
out  of  this  system  from  the  officers' 
point  of  view.  The  student  is  away 
from  home,  he  is  anxious  to  shield 
himself  from  the  notoriety  which  fol- 
lows an  arrest,  and  is  easily  persuaded 
upon  arrest  that  the  best  thing  to  do, 
guilty  or  innocent,  is  to  pay  the  fine 
imposed  and  get  release.  Without 
doubt,  there  are  cases  of  this  kind, 
some  of  which  it  would  seem  must 
fairly  appear  to  be  of  this  character 
to  the  officials  themselves.  After  all 
is  said  it  must  be  admitted  that  the 
difficulties  presented  to  those  respon- 
sible for  the  maintenance  of  order 
and  the  protection  of  persons  and 
property  are,  in  the  light  of  the  oc- 
currence referred  to,  serious  indeed. 
If  mistakes  occur  in  particular  cases 
it  is  not  strange.  We  cannot  forbear 
to  call  attention  to  the  fact  however 
that  the  arrest  of  the  student  is  really 
a  serious  matter  to  those  interested 
in  him  in  the  home  from  which  he 
comes,  as  well  as  to  the  student  him- 
self, and  once  the  public  authori- 
ties are  convinced  that  there  is  no 
real  guilt,  justice  and  a  just  consid- 
eration for  the  individual  and  his 
friends  call  for  his  discharge.

The  new  regulations 

STUDENTS  dents  recently  put  m 
operation  by  the  Fac- 
ulty of  the  Department  of  Arts,  has 
occasioned  two  or  more  spirited  edi- 
torials in  the  Daily.  These  editorials 
seem  so  likely  to  intrench  more  cer- 
tain misconceptions  in  the  student 
mind,  that  an  explanation  is  needed. 
At  a  meeting  of  the  Faculty,  held  Feb. 
loth,  the  following  rules  relative  to  de- 
linquent students  were  adopted: 

1.  Warning.  A  student  whose  work  is 
unastisfactory  is  warned.  In  all  such  cases 
notice  of  the  character  of  the  work  is  sent 
to  the  student  and  to  his  parent  or  guar- 
dian. Warned  students  may  participate  in 
public  activities  only  with  the  permission 
of  the  dean. 

2.  Probation.  A  student  whose  mark  is 
extremely  unsatisfactory  is  put  on  proba- 
tion. This  means  that  he  is  in  imminent 
danger  of  dismissal  from  the  University. 
This  penalty  of  dismissal  may  be  incurred 
through  unsatisfactory  work  in  a  single 
course.  During  the  period  of  probation 
the  student  is  on  trial  to  prove  his  fitness 
to  do  work  in  the  University.  He  is  re- 
quired to  devote  all  his  time  to  his  studies. 
Accordingly  he  is  forbidden  to  participate 
in  any  of  the  public  activities  described  in 
the  following  paragraph. 

3.  Public  Activities.*  Public  activities 
indude:  (i)  Participation  in  any  athletic 
contest  or  any  debatmg,  dramatic,  or  mus- 
ical exhibition;  (2)  service  on  student  pub- 
lications; (3)  holding  a  class  or  university 
office;  (4)  official  connection  with  any  of 
the  so-called  college  functions,  such  as  the 
Junior  Hop,  freshman  banquet,  and  simi- 
lar activities.  This  list  is  not  intended  to 
be  exhaustive,  but  merely  to  indicate  the 
character  and  scope  of  the  activities  referred 
to. 

C  Also  on  the  24th  of  March  a  resolu- 
tion   was    adopted    whereby    special 

*  "Participation"  is  to  be  interpreted  as 
including  training  for  all  athletic  teams, 
specific  preparation  for  any  public  activity, 
or  management  thereof. 


students  were  debarred  from  "PubHc 
Activities"  as  defined  above.  This  ac- 
tion was  taken  as  the  result  of  a  ser- 
ious abuse  of  the  privilege  whereby 
students  over  twen^-one  may  enroU 
for  special  studies  without  examina- 
tion, except  in  English,  when  not  can- 
didates for  a  degree.  This  permitted 
many,  whose  interests  were  not  pri- 
marily in  college  work,  but  in  athletics 
or  some  other  branch  of  student  activ- 
ity, to  become  a  student  in  the  Univer- 
sity without  taking  the  examinations 
or  assuming  the  status  of  a  regfular 
student.  Some  injustice  to  the  few 
special  students  who  are  really  in  earn- 
est and  at  the  same  time  desire  to  take 
part  in  general  college  activities,  will, 
of  course,  result,  but  their  position  in 
college  life  is  after  all  rather  anomal- 
ous, and  when  the  privilege  is  abused, 
as  it  often  is,  especially  in  the  case  of 
athletics,  it  would  seem  as  though 
this  action  were  really  by  no  means 
unfair.  Special  students  have  no  spec- 
ial privileges  whatever  except  their 
freedom  from  entrance  examination, 
as  has  been  contended  by  the  Daily 
and  the  only  sense  in  which  the  term 
Special  Student  is,  or  can  be  applied, 
is  that  relating  to  his  manner  of  se- 
curing admission  to  the  University. 
Special  students  are  required  to  take 
the  six  hours  of  required  English  even 
as  others.  After  that  has  been  passed 
the  student  has  absolute  freedom  in 
his  elections,  and  this  freedom  is 
granted  to  all.  Consequently  when  the 
editor  of  the  Daily  speaks  of  ftie  spe- 
cial privileges  vouchsafed  to  special 
students  he  is  discussing  something 
that  does  not  exist.  C  Again  it  should 
be  noted  that  the  privilege  extended 
to  special  students  of  entering  upon 
their  University  work  before  having 
completed  their  preparatory  studies, 
was  originally  designed  to  meet  a 
class  of  students  whose  interests  lie 
in  an  entirely  different  direction.  Such 
students,  having  been  denied  the  op- 
portunity of  completing  their  high 
school  course  in  youth,  are  still  anx-

ious  to  repair  these  defects  as  rapidly 
as  possible  and  to  devote  themselves 
to  such  studies  as  they  can  pursue 
with  profit.  Many  such  students  are 
to  be  found  in  the  University  every 
year.  They  are  anxious  to  remove 
their  entrance  conditions  and  receive 
their  degree.  They  are  not  interested 
in  athletics,  glee  clubs,  politics  or  dra- 
matic exhibitions.  They  are  here  for 
work  and  the  restriction  does  not  in- 
terest them.  C  On  the  other  hand 
the  student  who  has  spent  four  years 
in  a  good  high  school  and  failed  to 
secure  a  recommendation  that  will  en- 
title him  to  admission  to  the  Univer- 
sity, is  the  special  student  who  enters 
by  taking  an  examination  in  English 
only,  and  begins  with  the  expressed 
determination  that  he  will  "not  allow 
his  studies  to  interfere  with  his  college 
course."  To  this  student  little  or  no 
consideration  should  be  g^ven.  In- 
deed it  is  doubtful  whether  he  should 
be  admitted  at  all  except  upon  passing 
all  examinations.  This  is  the  student 
who  engages  actively  in  athletics,  in 
politics,  in  dramatic  and  musical  clubs 
and  devotes  himself  to  having  a  good 
time.  He  is  soon  upon  probation  and 
generally  "goes  home  on  account  of 
his  eyes,'' 


For  the  first  time  in 

CONFERBNCB  education  m  America 
an  Interdenomination- 
al Conference  of  those  practically  en- 
gaged in  the  religious  care  and  educa- 
tion of  students  in  state  universities 
was  held  Mar.  31  to  Apr.  2  in  Ann  Ar- 
bor. Seven  of  the  local  churches,  ob- 
literating all  sectarian  differences, 
banded  themselves  together  and  is- 
sued a  call  to  all  of  the  great  state 
universities  in  the  middle  west  to  meet 
in  conference  on  their  common  prob- 
lems in  religious  work  for  students. 
Ten  states  with  forty  delegates  re- 
sponded to  the  call.  The  interesting 
fact  was  disclosed  that  in  all  but  one 


of  the  states  there  are  more  students 
with  church  affiliations  in  the  univer- 
sities than  in  all  of  the  denominational 
colleges  of  those  states  combined. 
While  the  churches  have  been  spend- 
ing millions  of  dollars  on  their  own 
colleges,  until  very  recently  not  a  sin- 
gle cent  was  expended  on  religious 
care  and  instruction  for  the  majority 
of  their  children  in  state  universities. 
C  President  James  B.  Angell  cor- 
dially welcomed  the  delegates  at  the 
opening  of  the  conference  and  de- 
clared that  their  aims  were  the  same 
as  he  himself  had  for  years  been  plead- 
ing for  and  fostering.  Among  the 
prominent  men  who  were  on  the  pro- 
gram of  the  conference  were  Professor 
Francis  W.  Kelsey  and  Professor  R. 
M.  Wenley,  Bishop  C.  D.  Williams 
of  Michigan,  President  W.  D.  Mac- 
kenzie of  Hartford  Theological  Semi- 
nary, Henry  F.  Cope,  of  Chicago,  sec- 
retary of  the  Religious  Education 
Association,  Professor  Hugh  Black  of 
Edinburgh,  Scotland,  Professor  Wal- 
lace Stearns  of  Wesley  College,  North 
Dakota,  the  Rev.  J.  Beveridge  Lee  of 
New  York  City,  Professor  H.  J.  Bar- 
ton of  the  University  of  Illinois,  the 
Rev.  J.  W.  Cochran  of  Philadelphia, 
Professor  A.  M.  Wilcox  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  Kansas,  the  Rev.  Francis 
W.  Russell  of  St.  Louis,  Mo.,  and  the 
Rev.  W.  J.  Darby  of  Evansville,  Ind. 
C  Many  solutions  were  offered  to  the 
problems  presented,  among  which 
were:  (i)  the  strengthening  of  the 
hands  of  the  University  Y.  M.  C.  A. 
and  Christian  Associations  by  furnish- 
ing trained  specialists  in  the  study  of 
the  Bible  and  the  history  of  religion 
to  supplement  and  cooperate  with  their 
work;  (2)  student  pastors  who  shall 
work  with  the  local  churches  in  pro- 
viding a  church  home  for  students  and 
who  shall  seek  by  personal  contact  and 
fellowship  to  counteract  the .  "sopho- 
moric  habit  of  religious  swagger"  too 
often  found  on  the  Quadrangle;  (3) 
houses  for  such  workers  adapted  to 
social  needs ;  (4)  the  institution  of  lee-

ture  foundations  to  bring  the  great 
religious  leaders  of  the  day  to  univer- 
sity centers.  A  national  organization 
was  formed  which  is  to  meet  next  year 
in  conference  at  the  University  of 
Illinois. 


"Our  Duty  to  the 
THE  ORATORi-  Sioux"  was  the  sub- 
CAL  CONTEST  ject  of  the  winning 
oration  of  Adrian  M. 
Landman,  *o8/^  in  the  eighteenth  an- 
nual Oratorical  Contest  of  the  Uni- 
versity, given  under  the  auspices  of 
the  Students'  Lecture  Association  on 
March  20,  in  University  Hall.  The 
contest  as  a  whole  was  of  great  excel- 
lence and  uniformity.  Mr.  Landman, 
however,  won  through  the  earnestness 
of  a  personal  appeal  which  was  in- 
spired by  five  years*  experience  in  the 
employ  of  the  government  among  the 
Sioux  Indians.  His  experience  in  the 
final  contest  in  1905  enabled  him  to 
speak  with  force  and  conviction,  and 
an  admirable  stage  presence,  a  good 
voice,  and  convincing  gestures  should 
enable  him  to  uphold  Michigan's  title 
sucessfully  at  the  contest  of  the  North- 
em  Oratorical  League.  Contrasting 
their  former  freedom  with  their  pres- 
ent miserable  state,  he  pictured  the 
unfortunate  condition  of  a  doomed 
people  and  showed  how  the  greed  of 
the  white  man  pushed  the  Indian  from 
one  refuge  to  another,  until  now  he  is 
on  the  verge  of  ruin.  He  appealed 
for  mercy  for  a  people  with  the  minds 
of  children  about  to  be  thrust  out  to 
shift  for  themselves,  a  fate  for  whicli 
the  white  man's  treatment  has  poorlv 
fitted  them..  C  Frederick  B.  McKay, 
'09,  won  second  honors  with  a  splendid 
oration  on  the  subject  "International 
Peace."  Mr.  McKay  is  an  old  honor 
man  from  the  Central  State  Normal, 
and  his  forensic  training  stood  him  in 
good  stead.  He  showed  the  influence 
of  the  peace  tribunals  on  international 
peace,  attributing  many  of  the  ad- 
vances of  the  past  century  to  science 


and  to  the  interdependence  of  the 
great  powers,  and  promised  great 
progress  in  arbitration  as  a  substitute 
for  war  in  settling  international  dif- 
ferences. James  W.  McCandless,  '08, 
who  was  awarded  third  honors,  pre- 
sented an  oration  remarkable  for  its 
earnestness  and  common-sense  deduc- 
tions. Taking  for  his  subject  "The 
Law  of  Service,"  the  speaker  outlined 
the  problems  which  concern  the  young 
man  about  to  enter  upon  the  duties  of 
active  life.  He  emphasized  the  need 
of  the  fuller  realization  of  the  brother- 
hood of  man  and  insisted  that  the  sor- 
did ideals  of  commercialism  are  g^row- 
ing  out  of  harmony  with  the  present 
age.  Using  a  direct  conversational 
style  of  dehvery,  the  speaker  made  an 
appeal  which  was  impressive  in  its 
earnestness.  C  For  the  second  time 
in  the  eighteen  years  of  the  existence 
of  the  Oratorical  Association,  a  wo- 
man appeared  in  the  final  contest  in 
the  person  of  Miss  Ernestine  Moffett, 
'10.  Miss  MoflFett's  theme  was  "The 
Hope  of  the  Nation,"  in  which  she 
made  an  appeal  for  the  children  of  the 
crowded  cities.  Her  oration  was  ef- 
fectively delivered  and  the  sincerity  of 
the  speaker  carried  conviction.  Charles 
A.  Everest  in  a  fiery  and  interesting 
oration  spoke  of  Hamilton  as  the  Ex- 
ponent of  Nationalism  in  one  of  the 
most  critical  periods  of  the  nation's 
history.  Stephen  W.  Downey  present- 
ed a  timely  thought  in  his  "Crime  of 
Partisanship,"  declaring  it  a  crime  for 
citizens  to  respect  party  lines  regard- 
less of  party  issues.  His  delivery 
was  especially  strong  and  convincing. 
State  Senator  Huntley  Russell,  of 
Grand  Rapids,  acceptably  acted  as 
chairman  and  awarded  the  testimo- 
nials. Mr.  Landman  received  the  Chi- 
cago Alumni  Medal  and  the  Kaufman 
Testimonial  of  $100.  The  second  hon- 
or man,  Mr.  McKay,  received  $50. 
The  winners  will  represent  the  Uni- 
versity of  Michigan  at  the  contest  of 
the  Northern  Oratorical  Leagfue  in 
Iowa  City,  Iowa,  May  i.

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[April 


EVENT  IN  BRIEF 

A  new  club  for  junior  students  in 
the  Law  Department  is  the  Woolsack, 
organized  as  a  case  club  similar  to 
those  at  Yale  and  Harvard.  It  meets 
once  a  week,  for  discussions  at  which 
members  take  opposite  sides  in  the  dis- 
cussion of  leading  cases. 

Fifty  students  representing  various 
departments  in  the  University  were 
present  at  the  organization  of  a  Span- 
ish Club  in  the  University,  Monday, 
March  23.  The  aim  of  this  club  is 
similar  to  that  of  the  Deutscher  Verein 
and  the  Cercle  Frangais. 

According  to  a  report  in  a  recent 
number  of  the  Daily  the  number  of 
books  drawn  out  for  general  circula- 
tion from  the  general  library  has  been 
more  than  trebled.  The  average  call 
about  a  year  ago  was  for  about  50 
books  a  day  while  now  the  average  is 
above  150.  Statistics  for  the  year 
have  not  been  compiled,  but  fiction 
leads,  with  biography  and  classical  lit- 
erature following. 

The  memory  of  the  late  Professor 
Israel  C.  Russell  of  the  geological  de- 
partment of  the  University  was  re- 
cently honored  by  the  United  States 
Geographic  Board,  which  named  one 
of  the  highest  peaks  in  the  High 
Sierras,  Mt.  Russell,  after  him.  Mt. 
Russell,  which  is  situated  one  mile 
north  of  Mt.  Whitney,  Calif.,  with  an 
altitude  of  14,190  feet,  is  one  of  the 
seven  peaks  in  the  Sierras  that  rise 
above  14,000  feet. 

Acting  upon  the  suggestion  of  the 
Student  Council  the  freshman  and 
sophomore  classes  have  agreed  to 
shorten  the  annual  period  of  hostili- 
ties which  precede  the  freshman  ban- 
quet to  a  day  and  a  half,  instead  of 
a  week  or  more,  as  in  previous  years. 
This  was  brought  about  through  a 
meeting  of  a  committee  of  the  Coun- 
cil  wiSi   representatives   from   every 


fraternity  attending  the  banquet.  The 
representatives  of  the  freshman  class 
agreed  to  notify  the  sophomore  class 
a  day  and  a  half  preceding  the  ban- 
quet and  the  freshmen  have  pledged 
themselves  not  to  leave  Ann  Arbor 
before  that  time.  After  this  action 
was  ratified  by  both  classes  the  sopho- 
mores released  three  freshmen  whom 
they  had  been  holding  on  parole. 

Announcement  is  made  by  the  Me- 
morial Committee  of  the  Alumni  As- 
sociation, that  the  corner  stone  of  the 
new  Memorial  Building  will  be  laid 
during  Commencement  Week.  The 
walls  at  present  are  even  with  the  level 
of  the  ground,  and  about  $12,000  has 
been  spent  to  date.  When  completed, 
according  to  the  present  plans,  the 
building  will  cost  in  the  neighborhood 
of  $180,000.  It  stands  on  the  south- 
west comer  of  the  Campus. 

If  the  new  constitution  of  the  state 
of  Michigan  is  adopted  by  the  voters 
of  the  state,  a  ninth  member  will  be 
added  to  the  Board  of  Regents,  for 
the  State  Superintendent  of  Public  In- 
struction will  become  thereby  a  mem- 
ber ex-officio.  This  is  provided  by  Sec. 
5,  Art.  II,  with  the  purpose  of  placing 
the  Superintendent  in  the  same  rela- 
tion to  the  University  which  he  now 
bears  to  other  state  institutions.  He 
will  be  allowed  a  voice  in  all  discus- 
sions but  no  vote. 

In  appreciation  of  the  services  of 
the  late  Mrs.  Sarah  Caswell  Angell 
for  foreign  missions  the  Angell  Me- 
morial Tablet  was  unveiled  Thursday, 
March  26,  in  Sarah  Caswell  Angell 
Hall.  Mrs.  E.  W.  Blatchford,  of  Chi- 
cago, the  corresponding  secretary  of 
the  Woman's  Board  of  Missions  of 
the  Interior,  presented  the  tablet  as 
an  appreciation  of  the  prominent  part 
Mrs.  Angell  had  taken  in  the  estab- 
lishment of  missions  and  especially 
the  Angell  Bible  School  in  Pekin, 
China.

EVENT  IN  BRIEF 


287 


Dean  John  O.  Reed,  of  the  Liter- 
ary Department,  returned  March  14, 
from  an  extended  trip  in  the  East, 
where  he  spent  some  weeks  studying 
the  administrative  methods  of  prom- 
inent Eastern  universities.  Organiza- 
tion, and  methods  of  matriculation, 
registration,  and  record  keeping,  were 
studied  at  Cornell,  Johns  Hopkins, 
Columbia,  Yale,  Harvard,  Pennsyl- 
vania, Princeton,  and  Syracuse  Uni- 
versities. While  in  the  East  he  also 
attended  the  meeting  of  the  New  Eng- 
land Alumni  Association  held  in  Bos- 
ton. 

Recent  statistics  regarding  the  1907 
Summer  Session  showed  that  in  the 
attendance  which  numbered  1064  stu- 
dents, thirty-nine  states  and  sixteen 
countries  were  represented.  Of  the 
total  number  of  students,  however, 
58%  were  from  Michigan.  Of  the 
students  in  the  Literary  Department, 
50%  were  teachers,  and  in  the  Medi- 
cal Department,  44%  were  college 
graduates  and  14%  practicing  physi- 
cians. The  total  number  of  college 
graduates  in  attendance  was  231,  or 
22%  of  the  entire  enrollment.  Eighty 
colleges  and  universities  were  repre- 
sented. 

A  final  performance  of  "Michigen- 
da"  took  place  in  the  Union,  Mar.  17, 
at  a  banquet  given  by  the  Directors 
of  the  Union  to  the  company  and  to 
the  committee  which  has  had  the  pro- 
duction of  the  opera  in  charge.  While 
the  dialogue  was  omitted,  all  the 
songs  and  choruses  were  enthusiasti- 
cally repeated  in  regular  turn  by  all 
the  eighty-six  persons  at  the  tables. 
A  souvenir  score  of  Michigenda  has 
also  been  published,  including  the  Yel- 
k>w  and  the  Blue  and  eight  of  the 
songs,  as  well  as  many  half-tones  il- 
lustrating the  opera  with  portraits  of 
the  composer  and  the  principals.  The 
treasurer's  final  report  at  the  dinner 
showed  that  the  net  profit  of  the  opera 
to  the  Union  was  $2,201.94. 


Professor  Walter  Dennison,  of  the 
Department  of  Latin  of  the  Univer- 
sity, has  been  granted  leave  of  ab- 
sence for  the  coming  year,  which  he 
will  spend  in  Rome  as  Professor  of 
Latin  in  the  American  School  of  Clas- 
sical Studies.  The  school  is  conduct- 
ed for  the  purpose  of  giving  American 
students  all  the  advantages  that  Rome 
can  offer  in  the  way  of  manuscripts, 
inscriptions,  topography,  coins,  and  in 
fact  all  branches  of  archaeology. 
About  twenty  to  twenty-five  graduates 
of  American  schools  and  colleges  are 
admitted  every  year. 

The  fifteenth  annual  May  Festival 
will  open  Wednesday,  May  15,  and 
continue  until  Saturday,  the  i8th,  with 
an  afternoon  concert  on  Friday.  Mme. 
Schumann-Heink,  Mrs.  Rider-Kelsey, 
Janet  Spencer,  Edward  Johnson, 
Claude  Cunningham,  and  Herbert 
Witherspoon  are  among  the  artists 
who  will  appear.  Haydn's  Creation 
and  Gounod's  Faust  are  to  be  offered 
this  year  by  the  Choral  Union.  Pro- 
fessor Albert  A.  Stanley,  who  has 
been  spending  the  year  abroad,  re- 
turned April  I  for  the  May  Festival, 
and  immediately  took  charge  of  the 
chorus  which  has  been  rehearsing 
under  Earle  Killeen  of  the  School  of 
Music. 

The  church  attendance  of  students 
in  the  University  was  made  the  sub- 
ject of  statistical  investigation  Sun- 
day, March  8.  The  result,  as  given  in 
the  Daily,  showed  that  the  total  num- 
ber of  students  at  five  churches  alone 
was  992,  26%  of  the  total  attendance 
at  the  churches,  and  19%  of  the  total 
student  body,  while  the  number  of 
town  people  in  attendance  was  but 
17%  of  the  whole  population  of  Ann 
Arbor.  The  churches  which  furnish- 
ed the  figures  were  the  Catholic,  St. 
Andrews  Episcopal,  the  Congi*egation- 
al,  the  First  M.  E.,  and  the  Christian 
Science  church.  At  least  300  students 
were  in  attendance  at  the  three  mom-

ing  services  at  the  Catholic  church; 
the  total  student  attendance  at  St.  An- 
drews Episcopal  was  360,  while  375 
were  in  attendance  at  the  Congrega- 
tional church.  151  students  were  in 
attendance  at  the  Methodist  church, 
while  10  were  present  at  the  Chris- 
tian Science.  Had  the  other  churches 
in  Ann  Arbor  been  included  the  per- 
centages would  have  undoubtedly  been 
materially  increased. 

Richard  Mansfield  the  Man  and  the 
Actor  was  the  subject  of  an  address 
by  James  O'Donnell  Bennett,  '89-'92, 
dramatic  critic  of  the  Chicago  Record- 
Herald,  delivered  in  Sarah  Caswell 
Angell  Hall,  Friday,  March  27.  In 
this  talk  Mr.  Bennett  gave  a  very 
illuminating  characterization  of  the 
great  actor,  who  was  his  personal 
friend,  and  whose  peculiarities  and 
genius  found  a  sympathetic  interpre- 
tation. The  same  evening  Charles  W. 
Baker,  for  eighteen  years  editor  of 
the  Engineering  News,  delivered  a 
lecture  entitled  the  Making  of  Lit- 
erature for  Engineers,  in  Tappan  Hall 
lecture  room.  He  advocated  speciali- 
zation and  condensation  of  engineer- 
ing news,  since  editors  now  use  as 
their  sole  standard  of  selection  of  ma- 
terial the  degree  of  helpfulness  it  will 
have  for  the  practical  engineer.  Both 
men  were  entertained  later  by  the 
Press  Club  of  the  University  at  the 
Michigan  Union. 


THE  SCHOOLMASTERS'  CLUB 

The  forty-third  annual  meeting  of 
the  Michigan  Schoolmasters'  Club 
was  held  in  Ann  Arbor,  April  i  to 
4  inclusive,  together  with  the  meeting 
of  the  Michigan  Academy  of  Science. 
A  larger  number  of  persons  were 
present  than  at  any  previous  meeting, 
over  one  thousand  being  in  attendance 
at  the  first  general  session,  which  was 
held  in  University  Hall,  Thursday 
morning. 

Although  it  is  impossible  to  give 


a  complete  review  of  the  program, 
the  following  list  of  general  addresses 
and  papers  will  show  the  scope  of 
the  meetings.  The  first  general  ses- 
sion of  the  various  conferences  of  the 
Schoolmasters'  Club  was  held  in  Uni- 
versity Hall,  Thursday  morning,  Apr. 
2,  when  the  doctrine  of  discipline  in 
the  lig^t  of  modem  psychology  was 
discussed  from  various  points  of  view 
by  Professor  James  R.  Angell,  '90,  of 
the  University  of  Chicago;  Professor 
W.  B.  Pillsbury  of  the  University ;  and 
Professor  Charles  H.  Judd  of  Yale. 
In  the  evening  Professor  George  Lin- 
coln Burr,  of  Cornell,  gave  a  lecture 
upon  "History  and  Geography"  at  the 
high  school  auditorium. 

The  program  of  the  general  session 
for  Friday  morning  dealt  with  the 
general  subject  of  "History  in  the 
Schools;"  from  the  point  of  view  of 
the  high  school,  by  Miss  Mary  Hins- 
dale of  the  Detroit  Central  High 
School;  from  the  point  of  view  of 
the  elementary  school,  by  Charles  L. 
Spain,  Principal  of  the  Detroit  Normal 
Training  School;  and  the  principal 
findings  of  the  American  historical  as- 
sociation's committee  of  eight  on  his- 
tory in  the  elementary  schools  by  Pro- 
fessor J.  A.  James,  Northwestern  Un- 
iversity. The  general  discussion  was 
opened  by  Professor  Richard  Hudson 
of  the  University.  The  Wit  and  Wis- 
dom of  Heroditus,  an  address  by  Pro- 
fessor Maurice  Hutton  of  the  Univer- 
sity of  Toronto,  formed  the  final  fea- 
ture of  the  general  sessions  Friday 
evening.  This  was  followed  by  a 
short  reception. 

The  sessions  of  the  Classical  Con- 
ference, beginning  Wednesday  morn- 
ing, Apr.  I,  were  held  in  Sarah  Cas- 
well Angell  Hall.  Among  the  papers 
discussed  were  "The  Roman  Forum 
in  Cicero's  Time,"  an  illustrated  paper 
by  Professor  Walter  Dennison,  of  the 
University;  and  a  report  upon  the 
"Freer  Manuscripts  of  the  Bible  by 
Professor  Henry  A.  Sanders,  of  the 
University.    The  Conference  on  Wed-

THE  FERRY  LECTURES 


289 


nesday  afternoon,  held  a  joint  session 
with  the  International  Conference  of 
Church  and  Guild  Workers  in  State 
Universities,  with  President  Angell  as 
the  presiding  officer.  The  particular 
subject  of  discussion  was  a  symposium 
on  the  value  of  humanistic  and  par- 
ticularly classical  studies  as  a  prepa- 
ration for  study  of  the  professions. 
Following  previous  discussions  of  a 
similar  nature  upon  medicine  and  law, 
the  subject  for  discussion  this  year 
was  theology ;  Greek  in  the  high  school 
and  the  question  of  the  supply  of  can- 
didates for  the  ministry  was  discussed 
by  Professor  Kelsey ;  the  study  of  Lat- 
in and  Greek  as  a  preparation  for  the 
study  of  theology,  by  the  Rev.  Presi- 
dent Wm.  Douglas  Mackenzie  of 
Hartford  Theological  Seminary;  and 
short  cuts  to  the  ministry  with  spec- 
ial reference  to  the  elimination  of 
Latin  and  Greek  by  the  Rev.  Hugh 
Black  of  the  Union  Theological  Sem- 
inary. The  final  symposium  in  the 
series  will  be  offered  next  year  upon 
the  value  of  the  study  of  Latin  and 
Greek  as  a  preparation  for  practical 
life.  The  Conference  held  a  joint  ses- 
sion with  the  Philological  Association 
of  the  University  on  Wednesday  even- 
ing with  Professor  Fred  N.  Scott  as 
presiding  officer.  An  illustrated  lec- 
ture upon  the  Roman  Theater  by  Pro- 
fessor Charles  Knapp  of  Columbia, 
formed  the  program. 

The  Modem  Language  Conference 
held  its  first  session  Wednesday  after- 
noon in  Room  G,  University  Hall. 
Among  the  papers  given  was  one  up- 
on Ibsen  and  Norway  by  Dr.  Lee  M. 
Hollander  of  the  University,  and  a 
description  of  the  Hotel  de  Rambouil- 
let  by  Professor  Moritz  Levi.  Friday 
afternoon,  Professor  Beziat  de  Bordes 
described  some  experiments  which  he 
had  been  making  upon  students  with 
the  language  phonograph.  Among 
the  papers  given  before  the  Con- 
ference on  Physics  and  Chemistry 
was  an  address  upon  the  "Ex- 
perimental    View-point    in    Chemis- 


try" by  Professor  Alexander  Smith 
of  Chicago  University.  In  the 
Mathematical  Conference,  Professor 
J.  L.  Markley  of  the  University  led  in 
a  general  discussion  of  the  subject, 
"How  can  the  Teaching  of  Mathe- 
matics in  the  High  Schools  of  Mich- 
igan be  Improved";  and  in  the  His- 
tory Conference,  Professor  Earle  W. 
Dow  was  chairman  of  a  conference 
upon  "Problems  Concerning  Teach- 
ing History  in  the  Schools."  In  the 
English  Conference,  Professor  Fred 
N.  Scott  spoke  upon  "A  Substitute 
for  the  Classics,"  written  in  the  form 
of  a  letter  of  a  teacher  of  English 
4000  A.  D.,  when  English  had  bea)nie 
a  dead  language.  "Readin*  an'  'Rit- 
in' "  was  also  discussed  at  the  Friday 
afternoon  session  by  Mr.  Otto  Marck- 
wardt  of  the  University. 

The  Michigan  Academy  of  Science, 
which  met  at  the  same  time,  opened 
its  general  sessions  Thursday  after- 
noon with  a  general  meeting  at  two 
o'clock  in  the  Museum  lecture  room. 
Friday  morning  was  taken  up  by  meet- 
ings of  the  various  sections  and  in  the 
afternoon.  Professor  Jacob  Reighard, 
of  the  University,  gave  an  illustrated 
lecture  upon  the  "Parental  Care  of 
Fishes"  in  Sarah  Caswell  Angell  Hall. 


THE  FERRY  LECTURES  FOR  1908 

The  Ferry  Lectures  which  are  given 
under  the  auspices  of  the  Students' 
Christian  Association  and  which  have 
been  made  possible  in  the  past  through 
the  generosity  of  the  late  Hon.  D.  M. 
Ferry  of  Detroit,  were  continued  this 
year  through  the  generosity  of  his  son, 
b.  M.  Ferry,  Jr. 

The  first  series  occurred  March  nth 
to  15th,  in  a  course  of  five  lectures  de- 
livered by  Mr.  Wm.  T.  Ellis  on  the 
general  subject  of  "America's  Inter- 
national Religious  Obligations,  from  a 
Journalist's  Viewpoint."  Mr.  Ellis, 
formerly  of  the  Philadelphia  Press, 
now  of  the  Philadelphia  Evening 
Press,  went  to  the  Orient  a  year  ago

[April 


last  summer  to  see  whether  American 
and  European  missionaries  were  really 
accomplishing  anything  in  those  lands, 
and  whether  the  tales  of  the  sea  cap- 
tains and  globe-trotters  were  true. 

Mr.  Ellis  said :  "Our  conception  of 
foreign  missions  is  entirely  wrong  and 
has  to  be  changed.  Our  chief  reason 
for  helping  the  foreigner  is  because 
he  is  different  from  us.  Except  we 
have  a  desire  to  appreciate  the  other 
man's  point  of  view  we  cannot  possibly 
understand  him.  I  have  no  sympathy 
for  the  white  man  in  the  Orient,  be- 
cause he  has  treated  the  Chinese  as  if 
he  had  no  right  in  the  world. 

"The  foreign  missionary  is  neither 
a  saint  nor  is  he  a  pious  grafter.  Al- 
though many  missionaries  are  socially 
unfit  for  the  work  and  are  often  big- 
oted and  very  narrow-minded,  yet  the 
missionary  body  as  a  class,  in  point 
of  character,  of  unselfish  devotion  to 
the  work  and  efficiency,  ranks  higher 
tnan  any  professional  class  in  -this 
country." 

Foreign  missions  according  to  Mr. 
Ellis  are  not  to  continue  indefinitely. 
He  said  "Your  children  and  mine  will 
see  the  day  when  we  will  be  through 
with  foreign  missions.  We  are  com- 
ing to  see  that  the  missionary  must 
establish  not  his  particular  denomina- 
tion, but  he  must  establish  a  native 
church.  The  work  of  evangelization 
of  the  world  will  be  done  by  the  na- 
tive churches." 

Mr.  Ellis'  fourth  lecture  was  de- 
voted entirely  to  a  discussion  of 
"China:  Politically,  Socially  and  Re- 
ligiously." He  said:  "China  is  the 
synonym  for  possibility  and  opportun- 
ity. Given  a  new  spirit  China  will 
lead  the  world.  China  is  awake !  She 
is  now  a  homogeneous  entity — sl  liv- 
ing organism.  The  new  educational 
system  is  the  most  evident  expression 
of  the  transformation.  China  has  also 
carried  through  an  opium  reform 
movement.  The  anti-footbindmg 
movement  has  been  practically  won. 
Telegraph  systems  and  railroads  are 


being  put  up  all  over  the  empire, 
China's  port  cities  are  among  the  most 
active  in  the  world.  China  should  be 
the  object  of  the  world's  most  serious 
consideration  today." 

This  series  of. intensely  interesting 
and  instructive  lectures  was  closed  by 
Mr.  Ellis  with  a  world  survey.  *T 
have  come  back  from  my  trip  to  the 
East,"  he  said,  "to  tell  you  that  the 
world  is  becoming  a  brotherhood.  A 
broad  view  of  human  affairs  indicates 
that  there  is  'something  doing,'  some- 
thing portentous  and  significant  among 
all  nations.  The  whole  world  is  mov- 
ing toward  a  far-off  divine  event." 

On  the  evenings  from  Mar.  31st  to 
April  3rd,  Dr.  Hugh  Black  of  Union 
Theological  Seminary  delivered  a  ser- 
ies of  five  sermons  on  the  "Reason- 
ableness of  Religion"  as  the  second 
series  on  the  Ferry  Lectureship. 

"The  essence  of  religion,"  says  Dr. 
Black,  "is  faith.  Faith  does  not  mean 
'to  shut  your  eyes  and  open  your 
mouth."  Religious  faith  is  not  out- 
side of  human  nature.  Some  people 
fear  we  are  making  religion  too  easy, 
but  I  am  distressed  because  we  are 
making  it  too  hard.  Religion  is  sim- 
ple and  the  methods  of  religion  are 
just  as  simple  as  the  belief  itself.  Re- 
ligion is  natural  to  man;  it  can't  be 
artificial.  The  first  step  in  obtaining 
religion  is  like  the  first  step  you  take 
in  anything.  The  psalmist  said  *I 
thought  upon  my  ways  and  turned 
my  feet  into  Thy  testimonies."  The 
approach  to  God  is  through  serious 
thought.  We  must  attend.  The  think- 
ing by  which  we  obtain  religion  is 
not  simply  vague  pondering.  It  is 
thinking  on  the  problems  of  our  life 
and  the  asking  what  is  our  duty." 

"Religious  faith,"  said  Dr.  Black, 
"in  his  third  lecture,  stands  and  falb 
with  all  other  faiths.  I  have  no  pa- 
tience with  the  religious  skeptic.  It 
is  nonsense  to  say  that  religion  is 
faith,  science  is  fact.  You  can't  judge 
a  fact  by  the  mere  feeling  that  it  is 
so.    A  scienitfic  law  is  established  only

by  experiments.  The  test  is  'Does  it 
work?  Does  it  help  me  to  do  the 
work  I  have  to  do?  If  it  does,  it  is 
good  enough.'  In  religion  it  is  just 
3ie  same.  'Does  it  work?  Does  it 
gfive  a  man  the  mastery  over  himself 
over  life?'  That  is  the  test.  Efficien- 
qr  is  the  test  applied.  Man  never 
needed  religion  more  than  today.  Big 
thinker  though  you  be,  the  biggest 
thought  that  you  may  think  is  the 
Kingdom  of  Heaven.  Faith  is  not 
solely  a  religious  doctrine,  but  a  work- 
ing principle  in  life." 

Dr.  Black  in  the  fourth  lecture  said, 
"Indecision  is  the  most  fatal  flaw  in 
human  character.  It  is  the  weakness 
of  our  day.  It  is  the  explanation  of 
almost  every  sudden  catastrophe  we 
read  of.  In  things  of  intellect  you  are 
justified  in  reserving  judgment;  in 
things  of  conscience  you  are  absolute- 
ly wrong  in  so  doing.  To  hesitate 
there  is  to  be  lost.    Religion  demands 


decision — ^and  it  gets  it.  Your  put- 
ting off  is  itself  a  definite  act  of  choice 
against  it.  It  is  all  stunmed  up  in 
one  great  question,  'What  think  ye  of 
Christ?'" 

In  the  last  lecture  he  said,  "Mater- 
ial prosperity  is  not  history ;  history  is 
the  history  of  ideas,  of  ideals,  of  con- 
science— in  other  words,  religion.  If 
America  is  not  going  to  stand  for 
something  in  religion  then  America  is 
not  going  to  amount  to  anjrthing.  We 
look  forward  to  some  golden  age 
away  in  the  future.  This  is  the  day 
of  the  Lord.  There  is  no  other  day 
for  you.  I  wish  we  had  the  vision 
to  see  it." 

In  both  of  these  series  the  attend- 
ance was  very  large.  The  Congrega- 
tional church  was  used  for  Dr.  Black, 
and  it  was  invariably  well  filled,  while 
the  last  lecture  brought  a  packed 
house.  Large  numbers  of  students  at- 
tended both  series. 


A  HISTORY  OF  THE  DEPARTMENT  OF  MEDI- 
CINE AND  SURGERY 


Provision  was  made  for  a  medical 
department  in  the  University  of  Mich- 
igan in  the  organic  act  that  created 
the  University.  On  March  13,  1837, 
the  organization  and  government  of 
a  University  of  Michigan  was  decreed, 
and  a  Medical  Department  was  in- 
cluded with  the  Department  of  Liter- 
ature, Science  and  the  Arts  and  the 
Department  of  Law,  as  one  of  the 
original  divisions  of  the  University  to 
be.  Although  provided  for  at  this  early 
date,  no  steps  were  taken  for  its  ac- 
tual establishment  until  1847,  when  a 
committee  of  the  Board  of  Regents, 
of  which  Dr.  Zina  Pitcher  was  chair- 
man, urged  the  immediate  organiza- 
tion of  the  medical  school.  This  com- 
mittee reported  at  some  length  upon 
methods  and  aims,  calling  especial  at- 


tention to  the  necessity  of  adequate 
preparation  before  the  study  of  medi- 
cine was  undertaken. 

The  department  was  finally  opened 
in  October,  1850.  The  qualifications 
required  for  admission  were  "a  good 
English  education,  a  knowledge  of 
natural  philosophy,  the  elementary 
mathematical  sciences,  and  such  an 
acquaintance  with  the  Latin  and  Greek 
languages  as  will  enable  the  student 
to  appreciate  the  technical  language 
of  medicine  and  reading  and  writing 
prescriptions."  The  single  course  of 
lectures  extended  from  the  first  Wed- 
nesday in  October  to  the  third  Wed- 
nesday in  April,  with  four  lectures 
daily  except  on  Saturdays  which  were 
occupied,  by  the  alternate  hearing  and 
criticism  of  theses.  To  be  admitted 
to  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Medicine

[April 


a  student  was  required  to  show  evi- 
dence that  he  had  pursued  the  study 
of  medicine  and  surgery  for  three 
years,  including  the  time  spent  with 
the  preceptor,  and  that  he  had  at- 
tended two  full  courses  of  lectures, 
submitted  a  thesis,  and  passed  an  ex- 
amination held  at  the  end  of  the  term. 
An  allowance  of  one  year  from  the 
term  was  made  in  favor  of  those  who 
were  already  graduates  of  a  college. 
In  the  original  act  of  1837  it  was 
provided  that  the  following  professor- 
ships should  be  establishal:  "one  of 
anatomy;  one  of  surgery;  one  of 
physiology  and  pathology ;  one  of  the 
principles  of  physic ;  one  of  obstetrics 
and  of  the  diseases  of  women  and 
children;  and  one  of  materia  medica 
and  therapeutics."  Five  professors 
composed  the  first  faculty  of  the  de- 
partment, which  was  announced  as 
foltows  in  the  calendar  of  1850-51 : 
Abram  Sager,  President,  and  Profes- 
sor of  Obstetrics  and  Diseases  of  Wo- 
men and  Children ;  Silas  H.  Douglas, 
Professor  of  Chemistry  and  Pharmacy 
and  Medical  Jurisprudence;  Moses 
Gunn,  Secretary,  and  Professor  of 
Anatomy  and  Surgery;  Samuel  Den- 
ton, Professor  of  Theory  and  Practice 
of  Medicine  and  of  Pathology;  J. 
Adams  Allen,  Professor  of  Therapeu- 
tics, Materia  Medica  and  Physiology ; 
R.  C.  Kedzie,  Demonstrator  of  Anat- 
omy. Drs.  Sager  and  Douglas  were 
transferred  from  the  older  depart- 
ment. A  little  later  Dr.  Zina  Pitcher 
was  made  Emeritus  Professor  of  Ob- 
stetrics. Dr.  Pitcher  was  an  influen- 
tial citizen  of  Detroit,  where  he  prac- 
ticed medicine;  he  served  on  the 
Board  of  Regents  from  1837  to  1852, 
and  was  a  prominent  member  of  the 
Board;  he  was  particularly  active  in 
the  establishment  of  the  department, 
and  it  would  not  be  surprising  if  it 
were  owing  to  his  influence  that  the 
Medical  School  was  given  precedence 
over  the  Law  School. 

A  number  of  changes  may  be  no- 
ticed in  the  Faculty  during  the  first 


ten  years.  Professors  went  and  came ; 
and  subjects  of  instruction  were  re- 
distributed. A.  B.  Palmer  was  an- 
nounced as  Professor  of  Anatomy  for 
the  years  1852-54,  with  the  accom- 
panying notice  that  he  was  not  on 
duty ;  in  1854  he  became  Professor  of 
Materia  Medica,  Therapeutics,  and 
Diseases  of  Women  and  Children. 
The  same  year  the  name  of  another 
man  that  was  long  to  stand  with  Pal- 
mer's on  the  Faculty  list,  Cordyon  L. 
Ford,  appeared  as  Professor  of  Anat- 
omy. Edmund  Andrews  became  Pro- 
fessor of  Comparative  Anatomy  and 
Demonstrator  of  Human  Anatomy, 
and  in  1857  Alfred  DuBois  became 
Assistant  Professor  of  Chemistry. 
Dr.  Allen  resigned  to  go  to  Chicago 
in  1854  and  Dr.  Denton  died  in  i8fe. 
It  may  be  added  that  Dr.  Palmer  ob- 
tained a  leave  of  absence  in  1858  in 
order  that  he  might  prosecute  medical 
studies  in  Europe — ^the  first  instance 
in  the  Department,  and  the  second  in- 
stance in  the  University,  of  a  Pro- 
fessor going  abroad  on  such  an  er- 
rand. Dr.  Frieze  had  led  the  way  three 
years  before. 

The  erection  of  a  Medical  Building 
was  authorized  by  the  Board  of  Re- 
gents before  the  opening  of  the  school 
in  1850,  and  a  portion  of  the  old  med- 
ical building,  still  upon  the  Campus, 
dates  from  3iat  time.  This  is  the  fn*-- 
ward  wing  with  the  picturesque  Grec- 
ian portico,  which  for  the  first  decade 
proved  ample  for  the  lecture  rooms 
and  the  few  laboratories  then  in  use. 
The  square  addition  at  the  rear  was 
added  in  1864. 

From  the  date  of  the  opening  of 
the  Medical  School  to  the  present  time, 
the  number  of  students  in  attendance 
has  shown  a  steady  and  normal 
growth,  which  presented  only  one  per- 
iod of  marked  decrease.  In  1850-51, 
there  were  enrolled  ninety  students 
of  whom  six  received  the  degree  of 
Doctor  of  Medicine  at  the  close  of 
the  session.  During  the  succeeding 
years  the  enrollment  increased  rapid-

ly,  reaching  525  in  1866-67,  the  max- 
imum number  in  attendance  at  any 
period  during  the  history  of  the  Med- 
ical School,  except  in  1900-01  when  it 
reached  563  students.  This  early  rise 
in  numbers  is  accounted  for,  by  the 
fact  that  many  young  men,  who  had 
been  engaged  in  the  hospitals  during 
the  Civil  war,  entered  upon  the  study 
of  medicine  soon  after  its  close.  Dur- 
ing the  following  ten  years  the  regis- 
tration decreased  greatly,  however 
the  year  1876-77  showing  only  285 
in  attendance.  Since  them  the  num- 
ber has  again  steadily  increased. 

Women  were  first  admitted  to  the 
Medical  Department  in  1870,  eighteen 
in  number,  with  one  graduate  in  1871. 
For  a  number  of  years  they  received 
instruction  apart  from  the  men;  and 
every  professor  after  giving  his  lec- 
ture to  the  regular  class  repeated  it 
to  the  women  in  the  smaller  lecture 
room.  The  maximum  attendance  for 
women  for  any  one  year  before  1877 
was  47,  in  1875. 

The  course  of  study,  which  had  be- 
fore 1877  demanded  merely  attend- 
ance at  two  full  courses  of  lectures 
from  October  to  April,  was  extended 
at  that  time  to  two  years  of  nine 
months  each ;  and  in  1880  three  years 
of  study  of  nine  months  became  nec- 
essary before  a  candidate  presented 
himself  for  examination.  In  1890  the 
compulsory  course  was  extended  to 
four  years  of  nine  months  each.  The 
three  years  course  of  nine  months 
had  allowed  the  establishment  of  a 
graded  curriculum;  the  addition  of 
3ie  fourth  year  permitted  further 
gradation,  and  gave  opportunity  for 
extended  laboratory  teaching. 

The  founders  of  the  department  rec- 
ognized the  importance  of  laboratory 
instruction,  and  since  its  beginning, 
this  method  of  teaching  has  formed 
an  important  feature  of  the  curricul- 
um. The  anatomical  laboratory  was 
the  first  to  be  established,  occupying 
rooms  which  have  long  since  been 
used  for  other  purposes.     The  erec- 


tion of  the  present  chemical  laboratory 
in  1856  gave  medical  students  oppor- 
tunity for  laboratory  training  in  chem- 
istry while  the  appropriation  of  $3,- 
500,  granted  by  the  legislature  of 
1877,  furnished  the  equipment  for  the 
histological  and  physiological  labora- 
tory where  instruction  for  a  number 
of  years  was  given  in  microscopic  an- 
atomy. In  1878  an  extended  labora- 
tory course  in  physiological  chemistry 
was  added  to  the  curriculum,  and  a 
laboratory  of  electro  therapeutics,  the 
first  of  its  kind  in  America,  was  estab- 
lished in  the  same  year.  In  1879  prac- 
tical instruction  in  pathology  was  in- 
augurated. The  laboratory  of  hygiene 
was  built  and  equipped  at  the  request 
of  the  Michigan  State  Board  of  Health 
in  1888,  with  the  following  objects, 
as  set  forth  in  a  memorial  presented 
to  the  Board  of  Regents:  (i)  Orig- 
inal research  in  the  causation  of  di- 
seases; (2)  the  examination  of  food 
and  water,  suspected  of  having  caused 
disease;  (3)  the  instruction  of  stu- 
dents. Since  1888  an  extended  course 
in  bacteriology  has  formed  an  impor- 
tant part  in  the  required  work  of 
every  student  in  medicine.  A  labora- 
tory of  clinical  medicine  was  estab- 
lished in  1891,  and  formed  at  that 
time  the  only  officially  recognized  lab- 
oratory of  its  kind  in  America.  In 
1892  two  more  laboratories  were  es- 
tablished devoted  to  surgery  and  phar- 
macology. 

While  the  history  of  the  Department 
of  Medicine  has  been  one  of  success- 
ful growth  from  the  first,  it  met  on 
two  occasions  with  grave  problems 
which  threatened  seriously  the  final 
effectiveness,  if  not  the  very  existence 
of  the  school.  These  may  be  briefly 
mentioned.  The  agitation  over  the  re- 
moval of  the  department  to  Detroit 
which  was  inaugurated  less  than  ten 
years  after  the  opening  of  the  school 
has  furnished  one  of  the  most  serious 
questions  which  ever  came  before  the 
school,  The  main  argument  advanced 
by  Dr.  Moses  Gunn,  at  that  time  a

member  of  the  Faculty  who  had  al- 
ready removed  to  Detroit  where  he 
became  editor  of  the  Medical  Journal, 
was  that  Detroit  offered  better  advan- 
tages for  dinical  instructicm.  The 
Board  of  Regents  appointed  a  com- 
mittee to  investigate  the  subject  and 
found  that  under  the  circumstances  it 
would  be  highly  inexpedient  to  under- 
take such  a  removal.  This  practically 
ended  the  discussion  of  the  question 
until  1888  when  it  was  revived  again 
with  no  better  success. 

The  controversy  over  the  establish- 
ment of  a  Homoeopathic  Department, 
which  began  in  1867,  also  stirred  the 
Medical  Department  to  its  depths  and 
resulted  in  the  resignation  of  Dr. 
Abram  Sager,  the  first  Dean,  and  in  an 
effort  of  the  State  Medical  Society 
and  the  American  Medical  Association 
to  exclude  graduates  of  the  depart- 
ment from  membership.  The  ques- 
tion was  finally  settled,  however,  al- 
though the  marked  falling  off  in  the 
number  of  students  to  285  in  1876-77 
shows  how  far  reaching  were  its  ef- 
fects. 

The  first  hospital  in  connection  with 
the  University  was  established  in  De- 
troit in  1857  as  a  school  for  clinical 
instruction  under  the  direction  of  Dr. 
Zina  Pitcher  and  Dr.  A.  B.  Palmer. 
This  course,  however,  was  abandoned 
in  1859  and  not  until  1869  was  a  hos- 
pital established.  This  was  created 
from  what  had  been  a  dwelling  house 


upon  the  coll^pe  grounds  and  forms 
the  present  quarters  of  the  Depart- 
ment of  Dentistry.  In  1891  the  new 
University  Hospital,  situated  a  short 
distance  from  the  Campus,  was  com- 
pleted, although  it  has  been  enlai^ed 
from  time  to  time,  the  latest  addition 
being  the  Palmer  and  the  Psychopath- 
ic Wards.  The  former,  designed  or- 
iginally for  the  treatment  of  diseases 
of  children  and  left  to  the  University 
as  a  memorial  to  Dr.  Alonzo  B.  Pal- 
mer by  his  widow,  was  completed  in 
1903  although  not  formally  dedicated 
until  Feb.  11,  1907.  The  Psychopath- 
ic Ward,  established  largely  through 
the  efforts  of  the  late  Dr.  Wm.  J. 
Herdman,  has  also  been  recently  com- 
pleted, and  is  the  first  hospital  of  its 
kind  in  this  country.  The  new  Medi- 
cal Building  of  the  University,  erect- 
ed at  the  side  of  the  old  building,  was 
completed  and  ready  for  occupancy  in 
1902.  In  this  new  building,  which 
measures  175  by  145  feet  and  has 
three  stories  and  a  high  basement,  are 
housed  the  departments  of  anatomy, 
histology  and  embryology,  pathology, 
bacteriology,  hygiene  and  physiologi- 
cal chemistry,  the  administrative  offi- 
ces, two  amphitheaters  and  two  lec- 
ture rooms.  The  departments  of 
physiology  and  pharmacology,  now  in 
the  old  medical  building,  will  very 
likely  be  accommodated  in  a  portion 
of  the  present  chemistry  building,  af- 
ter the  completion  of  the  new  building.

MICHIGAN  PORTRAITS— XII 


The  institution  of  Founder's  Day  in 
ibt  medical  department,  seven  years 
ago,  has  served  to  recall,  to  each  suc- 
ceeding class  of  students,  and  to  the 
Faculty  of  the  present,  the  services 
rendered  to  the  University  and  to 
Medical  Science  by  the  men  on  whom 
devolved  the  task  of  creating  and  up- 
building this  school.  Their  labor  was 
one  of  youthful  vigor  and  great  en- 
thusiasm, and,  as  we  loc^  back  and 
survey  the  conditions  under  which  it 
was  done,  we  realize  how  well  they 
served  not  only  their  time  and  genera- 
tion but  succeeding  generations  as 
well.  Fortunate,  indeed,  it  was  for 
the  University  that  it  was  able  to  com- 
mand at  the  outset  the  services  of 
such  men  as  Douglas,  Sager,  Ford, 
Gunn  and  Palmer.  Under  their 
watchful  care  and  wise  direction  the 
young  plant  took  root  and  developed 
into  the  sturdy  organism  which  their 
successors  found. 

But  whence  came  the  young  plant 
entrusted  to  the  care  of  the  first  Fac- 
idty.  The  answer  will  be,  from  the 
Board  of  Regents,  acting  under  the 
fundamental  law  of  the  state.  This 
law  called  for  the  organization  of  a 
university  consisting  of  at  least  three 
departments;  namely,  a  Department 
of  Literature,  Science,  and  Arts,  a  De- 
partment of  Law,  and  a  Department 
of  Medicine.  In  the  organic  act,  the 
Law  Department  was  given  preced- 
ence over  medicine,  but  when  it  came 
to  the  actual  establishment  of  the  pro- 
fessional departments,  that  of  med- 
icine was  created  first,  and  the  reason 
for  this  is  unquestionably  to  be  found 
in  the  strong  personality  and  the  vig- 
orous plea  of  Doctor  Zina  Pitcher, 
then  a  regent  of  the  university.  Hence, 
it  may  not  be  without  interest  on  this

Department  on  Pounder's  Day,  February

occasion  to  pass  in  review  the  life  and 
activities  of  the  man  directly  concern- 
ed with  the  founding  of  the  depart- 
ment. 

Zina  Pitcher,  son  of  Nathaniel 
Pitcher,  a  captain  in  the  revolutionary 
war,  and  Margaret  Stevenson,  a 
Scotch  woman,  was  bom  April  12, 
1797,  on  a  farm  in  Washington  coun- 
ty. New  York.  His  mother,  when  he 
was  but  five  years  old,  was  left  a 
widow  with  her  three  children,  Zina, 
Sidney  and  Charles,  and  a  stepson, 
Nathaniel  Pitcher.  Upon  her  de- 
volved the  task  of  providing  a  liveli- 
hood and  a  schooling  for  the  four 
boys,  out  of  the  resources  of  a  new 
farm.  Several  years  later  she  married 
Solomon  King  by  whom  she  had  a 
son  Benjamin,  who  was  the  father 
of  Zina  Pitcher  King,  now  living  in 
Ann  Arbor.  Notwithstanding  the  ad- 
verse and  trying  conditions  which  be- 
set her,  and  with  a  singular  appre- 
ciation of  the  value  of  education,  the 
mother  bent  every  effort  to  provide  its 
advantages  for  her  five  children.  How 
well  she  succeeded  may  be  seen  in 
the  career  of  her  stepson  who,  as 
General  Nathaniel  Pitcher,  became 
Lieutenant-Governor  of  New  York  in 
1826,  and,  on  the  death  of  Dewitt 
Clinton,  in  1828,  the  Acting  Gover- 
nor of  the  State.  The  son,  Sidney, 
died  young  and  unmarried,  while 
Charles  married  in  the  south,  and  his 
descendants,  it  appears,  actively  sup- 
ported the  Lost  Cause.  To  portray 
the  career  of  Zina  Pitcher  is  the  ob- 
ject of  this  address. 

The  district  school  and  the  county 
academy  were  the  only  institutions  at- 
tended by  young  Zina  and  his  broth- 
ers. The  education,  such  as  it  was, 
was  obtained  under  trying  conditions 
and  without  doubt  the  example  of  his 
mother  as  well  as  the  realization,  in 
after  years,  of  the  great  difficulties 
which  came  in  the  way  of  his  acquir-

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[April 


ing  knowledge,  gave  to  him  that  rare 
interest  in  learning  which  resulted  in 
the  establishment  of  the  first  free 
schools  in  Michigan,  as  well  as  in  the 
organization  of  the  first  two  depart- 
ments of  the  University.  It  is  said 
that  as  a  youth  he  showed  his  desire 
for  knowledge  by  cultivating  the  ac- 
quaintance of  older  people  from  whom 
he  could  gather  information.  He 
avoided  the  pleasures  and  excesses  of 
his  young  associates,  giving  as  a  rea- 
son that  he  wanted  to  live  to.  an  old 
age,  and  his  wishes  in  that  regard 
were  indeed  fulfilled. 

From  the  interest  which  he  showed 
in  later  years  in  matters  pertaining  to 
natural  history  we  may  infer  that  as 
a  lad  he  possessed  a  bent  for  scien- 
tific studies  which  led  him,  when  twen- 
ty-one years  of  age,  to  take  up  the 
study  of  medicine.  As  was  quite  the 
custom  in  those  days  he  spent  four 
years  in  the  office  of  a  private  prac- 
titioner, except  while  in  attendance 
upon  two  courses  of  lectures  at  the 
Castleton  School  of  Medicine  in  Ver- 
mont, upon  the  completion  of  which, 
in  1822,  he  received  the  degree  of 
Doctor  of  Medicine  from  Middlebury 
College.  The  four  years  spent  with 
his  preceptor  were  not  wholly  devoted 
to  medical  studies  for  he  soon  saw 
the  advantages  of  a  classical  educa- 
tion, and  with  the  aid  of  a  fellow  stu- 
dent, as  tutor,  he  endeavored  to  ac- 
quire some  familiarity  with  Latin  and 
Greek  so  as  to  round  out  to  some  ex- 
tent his  otherwise  meager  and  imper- 
fect education.  Under  the  guidance 
of  Professor  Eaton  of  Troy,  who  later 
was  the  teacher  of  Houghton  and  Sa- 
ger,  he  began  the  study  of  botany,  in 
which  subject  he  maintained  through- 
out his  long  life  a  most  active  inter- 
est. 

Immediately  after  securing  his  di- 
ploma, EkKtor  Pitcher  entered  the 
army  medical  service  as  an  assistant 
surgeon  with  the  rank  of  first  lieuten- 
ant. From  this  time  Pitcher  became 
identified  with  the  history  of  Michi- 


gan, for  the  next  eight  years  were 
spent  as  surgeon  at  variour  frontier 
posts  in  the  then,  as  yet  unknown  wil- 
derness of  the  Territory  of  Michigan. 
The  records  of  the  war  department 
seem  to  be  incomplete  as  to  his  de- 
tails prior  to  1 83 1,  but  from  occasion- 
al mention  by  his  contemporaries,  and 
from  statements  made  by  himself,  we 
know  that  he  was  at  Saginaw  in  1823, 
Detroit  in  1824,  at  Fort  Brad^  (Sault 
Sainte  Marie)  in  1828,  and  Fort  Gra- 
tiot in  1829.  The  sojourn  at  var- 
ious times  in  Detroit  as  well  as  the 
station  at  Fort  Gratiot  brought  him 
into  intimate  association  with  the 
prominent  men  in  that  city,  such  as 
General  Cass,  Henry  R.  Schoolcraft, 
the  famous  Indian  scholar,  Lucius 
Lyon,  who  subsequently  became  Uni- 
ted States  senator  from  Michigan,  and 
other  men  who  were  called  upon  to 
mold  the  future  State  of  Michigan. 

The  first  records  on  file  in  the  war 
department  show  that  he  was  station- 
ed from  November,  1831,  to  July,  1834, 
at  Fort  Gibson  among  the  Creeks, 
Cherokees  and  other  tribes  of  the  In- 
dian Territory.  At  this  time,  while 
his  cherished  friend  General  Cass  was 
secretary  of  war  under  Andrew  Jack- 
son, he  received  his  commission  as 
major  and  surgeon.  From  1834  to 
1836  he  was  detailed  at  Fortress  Mon- 
roe and  was  called  upon  to  perform 
important  duties  on  the  army  medical 
board,  of  which  he  was  made  pre- 
siding officer  in  1835.  When  Presi- 
dent Jackson,  with  his  family,  sought 
a  respite  from  the  cares  of  office  by 
seclusion  at  Hampton  Roads,  Doctor 
Pitcher  became  a  frequent  visitor  at 
the  President's  home,  and  the  ac- 
quaintance thus  formed,  through  pro- 
fessional service,  grew  into  a  friend- 
ship grateful  to  the  physician  who  had 
won  his  way  to  the  front  rank  in  his 
chosen  calling. 

The  routine  service  in  the  army, 
however,  did  not  apparently  satisfy 
the  growing  ambitions  of  the  man, 
and,  though  but  three  numbers  re-

moved  from  the  head  of  the  list  of  sur- 
geons which  would  have  soon  brought 
him  to  the  rank  of  surgeon-gen- 
eral, he  resigned  from  the  service  at 
the  close  of  1836  and  entered  upon 
the  practice  of  medicine  in  Detroit, 
then  a  city  of  about  six  thousand  in- 
habitants and  the  camtal  of  the  new 
state  of  Michigan.  There  was  need 
for  broad-spirited,  experienced  men  in 
the  affairs  of  the  city  and  state,  and 
Pitchef  at  once  assumed  the  full  duties 
and  obligations  of  citizenship.  How 
well  he  discharged  those  duties  is  to 
be  seen  in  the  history  of  the  free 
schools  of  Detroit,  in  the  history  of 
the  University,  of  the  medical  depart- 
ment and  of  the  medical  profession 
of  the  city  and  state. 

The  life  at  the  frontier  posts,  es- 
pecially during  the  first  few  years,  we 
may  well  assume  was  full  of  hard- 
ship and  privation.  And  yet,  it  was 
not  without  its  good  results.  The 
young  physician,  with  scarcely  any 
experience  in  matters  of  disease  and 
health,  was  thrown  wholly  upon  his 
own  resources,  and  the  severe  tests 
to  which  he  was  subjected  developed 
in  him  that  sturdy  self-reliance  and 
that  independence  tempered  with  due 
regard  for  the  authority  of  his  super- 
iors which  characterized  the  man  in 
later  years. 

His  intense  devotion  to  duty  is 
shown  in  the  narrative  of  his  friend. 
Doctor  J.  L.  Whiting,  the  founder  of 
the  Territorial  Medical  Society,  who 
was  called  upon  in  1823  to  go  to  Sag- 
inaw and  attend  a  sick  garrison  from 
Green  Bay.  He  says:  "I  found  the 
whole  garrison  sick,  with  one  or  two 
exceptions,  and  Doctor  Zina  Pitcher, 
the  surgeon  in  charge,  was  the  sick- 
est of  the  k>t.  He  was  completely 
broken  up.  He  had  some  one  hun- 
dred twenty  souls,  old  and  young — 
sixty  enlisted  men,  with  officers,  laun- 
dresses, and  children — ^under  charge, 
and  all  of  them  sick  but  one,  with  one 
of  the  most  abominably  distressing 
fevers  imaginable.    He  was  all  alone. 


one  hundred  miles  from  anywhere, 
with  an  appalling  amount  of  work  on 
hand,  and  no  wonder  he  broke  down. 
When  I  reached  Saginaw  he  was  be- 
ing carried  all  over  the  garrison  on 
a  mattress  by  men  well  enough  as 
yet  to  move  about  or  lift  anything, 
giving  opinions  and  advice,  and  a 
dreadful  sight  he  presented,  I  can  as- 
sure you." 

His  leisure  hours  at  the  outposts 
were  by  no  means  wasted.  Though 
an  eager  student  of  history  and  medi- 
cine he  found  the  opportunity  to  study 
nature  as  well.  His  writings  show  an 
extensive  knowledge  of  the  plants 
found  along  the  entire  frontier  from 
Lake  Superior  to  the  Gulf.  He  was 
in  personal  touch  with  the  leading 
men  in  botany  and  geology  at  that 
time,  and  the  closeness  of  his  obser- 
vations may  be  gathered  from  the  fact 
that  several  new  species  of  plants  and 
fossils  which  he  discovered  received 
his  name.*  He  invariably  cultivated 
the  acquaintance  of  the  Indian  med- 
icine men  with  whom  he  came  into 
contact,  and  in  this  way  acquired  an 
intimate  knowledge  of  Indian  life, 
their  medical  customs,  and  learned 
to  know  the  plants  employed  by  the 
aborigines.  The  information  thus  ac- 
quired served  him  in  later  years  in 
the  preparation  of  an  extended  mon- 
ograph on  "Indian  Medicine,"  which 
appeared  in  the  fourth  volume  of 
Schoolcraft's  great  woric.

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[Aprit 


It  is  an  interesting  coincidence  that 
two  army  strgeons  of  that  period, 
stationed  in  Michigan,  were  devoting 
much  of  their  time  to  scientific  study. 
Doctor  William  Beaumont  at  Fort 
Madcinac,  in  1825,  began  his  famous 
studies  on  Alexis  Saint  Martin,  while 
Zina  Pitcher  followed  assiduously  the 
study  of  natural  history.  These  two 
men,  with  Douglas  Houghton  and 
Abram  Sager  represented  tfie  earliest 
men  of  science  in  Michigan. 

The  Michigan  Historical  Society 
was  founded  in  1828,  with  General 
Cass,  Henry  R.  Schoolcraft  and  Zina 
Pitdicr  as  incorporators.  Explora- 
tions, Indian  lore,  and  natural  history 
formed  the  themes  for  essays  and  dis- 
cussions. The  records  show  that  Zina 
Pitdier  presented,  in  1830,  a  treatise 
on  the  preserving  of  objects  of  nat- 
ural history,  et  cetera,  and  later,  do- 
nations to  the  society  of  valuable  spec- 
imens. On  his  return  to  Detroit  he 
became  librarian  of  the  society,  which 
position  he  held  for  many  years.  Lat- 
er, through  his  influence  an  official 
historiographer  was  oppointed  for  the 
dty  of  Detroit  It  is  not  surprising 
that,  as  regent  of  the  University,  he 
showed  the  greatest  interest  in  get- 
ting together  and  personally  arrang- 
ing the  various  collections  in  geology, 
zoology  and  botany.  It  may  be  men- 
tioned as  an  interesting  fact  that  at 
one  of  the  first  meetings  of  the  Board 
of  Regents  (1838),  before  any  definite 
policy  regarding  the  University  had 
been  adopted.  Doctor  Pitcher  secured 
the  appropriation  of  $970.00,  an  enor- 
mous sum  at  that  time,  for  the  pur- 
diase  of  one  of  the  most  prized  works 
in  our  library  today,  namely,  Audu- 
bon's magnificent  work  on  "American 
Ornithology." 

At  the  opening  of  1837,  when  Pitch- 
er took  up  his  permanent  residence  in 
I>etroit,  Michigan  was  a  state  in  name 
but  not  in  fact.  It  possessed  for  near- 
ly two  years  a  full  set  of  state  officers, 
dected  under  the  provisions  of  the 
Constitution  of  1835,  but  to  the  fed- 


eral government  it  was  still  a  terri- 
tory, and  admission  to  the  Union  was 
refused  pending  compliance  with  cer- 
tain demands  regarding  the  location 
of  the  Michigan-Ohio  boundary  line. 
The  conditions  laid  down  by  the  gen- 
eral government  were  finally  accepted 
by  a  convention  held  for  that  purpose 
at  Ann  Arbor,  on  December  14,  1836, 
and  the  validity  of  this  action  being 
recognized  by  Congress,  this  body,  on 
January  26,  1837,  passed  the  act  for- 
mally admitting  Michigan  into  the 
Union. 

The  new  State,  with  a  population 
of  about  200,000,  was  now  seemingly 
in  a  position  to  provide  for  education- 
al purposes  out  of  the  proceeds  of 
the  land  grants  made  by  the  general 
government  in  accordance  with  the 
spirit  expressed  by  the  famous  ordi- 
nance of  1787,  which  asserted  that 
"Religion,  morality,  and  knowledge 
being  necessary  to  good  government 
and  the  happiness  of  mankind,  schools 
and  the  means  of  education  shall  for- 
ever be  encouraged."  The  Constitu- 
tion of  1835  enjoined  the  legislature 
to  provide  for  a  system  of  common 
schools  in  each  school  district,  for  the 
establishment  of  libraries  and  for  the 
care  of  university  lands  and  funds. 
Governor  Mason,  in  accordance  with 
its  provisions  appointed,  in  1836,  the 
Reverend  John  D.  Pierce,  of  Mar- 
shall, the  first  Superintendent  of  Pub- 
lic Instruction,  and  upon  this  officer 
devolved  the  task  of  preparing  a  sys- 
tem for  common  schools  and  a  plan 
for  a  university.  On  the  convening 
of  the  legislature  immediately  after 
the  admission  of  Michigan  into  the 
Union  the  new  superintendent  sub- 
mitted a  report  in  which  a  comprehen- 
sive educational  plan  was  outlined, 
based  essentially  upon  the  Prussian 
system  of  instruction.  The  legislature 
adopted  his  ideas,  and  within  two 
months  after  the  formal  admission  of 
the  state  it  enacted  laws  for  the  estab- 
lishment of  common  schools  and  of  a 
university.

ZINA  PITCHER

The  cause  of  education  appealed  to 
Pitcher  and  he  sought  for  and  ob- 
tained appointment  on  the  first  Board 
of  Regents.  With  General  Cass  and 
Lucius  Lyon,  he  established,  in  1837, 
a  Journal  of  Education,  of  which, 
however,  nothing  definite  seems  to  be 
known.  A  most  important  service 
was  soon  to  be  rendered  by  him. 
Thrice  elected  Mayor  of  Detroit,  in 
1840,  1841  and  1843,  Doctor  Pitcher 
was  confronted  with  the  problem  of 
providing  a  free  education  for  the 
children  of  his  city.  Although  pro- 
vision had  been  made  for  a  system 
of  common  schools,  it  was  soon  found 
to  be  inadequate  for  Detroit.  The 
city  was  divided  into  eight  school  dis- 
tricts and  the  only  means  of  support 
was  the  share  of  die  state  school  fund 
annually  apportioned  to  the  city.  The 
total  amount  allotted  to  the  city  was 
so  significant  (in  1841,  being  but 
$474.00),  that  as  a  consequence  the 
city  for  a  time  was  almost  without 
common  schools.  In  1841,  Mayor 
Pitcher,  as  chairman  of  a  special  com- 
mittee, made  an  exhaustive  investiga- 
tion of  the  condition  of  the  schools 
of  Detroit,  and  in  a  report  to  the 
common  council,  he  showed  that  there 
were  at  the  time  at  least  eighteen  hun- 
dred and  fifty  children  in  Ae  city,  and 
that  while  the  district  schools  had  en- 
rolled that  year  but  six  hundred  and 
eighty-seven  pupils,  and  that  only  for 
a  month  or  two,  the  twenty-seven  pri- 
vate schools  in  operation  has  been  at- 
tended by  seven  hundred  and  four- 
teen pupils.  Between  four  and  five 
hundred  children  attended  no  school 
whatever,  since  the  public  schools,  in 
fact,  did  not  exist.  To  remedy  this 
condition  of  affairs,  largely  through 
the  efforts  of  Pitcher,  but  not  wiA- 
out  considerable  opposition  from  the 
taxpayers,  a  law  was  passed  by  the 
legislature,  making  the  city  of  Detroit 
one  school  district,  with  a  Board  of 
Education  in  charge,  and  authorizing 
the  Common  Council  to  levy  an  an- 
nual tax  not  to  exceed  one  dollar  for 


every  child  between  the  ages  of  five 
and  seventeen  years.  The  passage  of 
this  law  gave  to  the  city,  and  hence 
to  the  state  at  large,  for  the  first  time 
a  really  free  public  school  system.  The 
city  of  Detroit,  largely  in  recognition 
of  his  services  to  that  community,  has 
fittingly  applied  his  name  to  one  of 
its  schools  and  streets. 

In  accordance  with  the  provision  of 
the  Organic  Act  of  March  18,  1837, 
establishing  the  University,  the  Board 
of  Regents  consisted  of  the  governor, 
lieutenant-governor,  judges  of  the  Su- 
preme Court  and  chancellor,  as  ex- 
officio  members,  in  addition  to  twelve 
members  appointed  by  the  Governor. 
Doctor  Zina  Pitcher  was  one  of  the 
twelve  original  members  and  at  the 
first  meeting  of  the  Board,  held  June 
5,  1837,  in  Ann  Arbor,  he  drew,  with 
Schoolcraft  and  McClelland,  the  four- 
year  term.  He  was  reappointed  in 
1841,  1845  and  1849,  ^^^  relinquished 
his  office  on  the  last  day  of  185 1,  at 
which  time  the  appointive  Board  gave 
way  to  one  elected  by  the  people,  as 
provided  for  by  the  Constitution  of 
1850. 

Doctor  Pitcher  was  therefore  Re- 
gent for  nearly  fifteen  years.  He  was 
the  only  member  who  held  the  office 
continuously  from  its  inception  until 
the  reorganization  of  1852.  This  con- 
tinuance in  office  by  successive  gov- 
ernors is  in  itself  an  evidence  of  a 
faithfuj  discharge  of  duty,  a  real  de- 
votion to  the  welfare  of  the  institu- 
tion, and  an  abiding  interest  in  the 
cause  of  education.  He  was  of  the 
old  school  who  believed  that  "A  pub- 
lic office  was  a  public  trust,"  and  noth- 
ing could  interfere  with  the  duties  of 
his  position.  An  examination  of  the 
records  of  the  board,  during  that  per- 
iod of  fifteen  years,  shows  invariably 
the  name  of  Zina  Pitcher  as  present 
at  the  board  meetings  whether  held  in 
Ann  Arbor  or  in  Detroit.  His  was  a 
most  active  part  in  the  difficult  woA, 
of  organizing,  and  molding  into  shape 
the  young  university;  and  his  gentle-

manly  demeanor,  upright  character, 
sound  and  conservative  opinion  was 
evidently  appreciated  by  his  associates 
on  the  board.  During  his  service,  he 
was  chairman  of  committee  after  com- 
mittee, and  nearly  every  page  of  the 
"Regents'  Journal"  shows  reports 
and  resolutions  presented  by  him  to 
that  body. 

At  one  of  the  first  meetings  of  the 
board.  Dr.  Pitcher  was  made  chair- 
man of  the  Committee  on  Branches, 
and  this  position  he  seems  to  have 
held  continuously  until  1850.  To  the 
institution  and  management  of  these 
branches  in  different  cities  of  the  state, 
he  gave  much  time  and  thought.  He 
formulated  the  laws  governing  these 
branches  and  was  largely  responsible 
for  the  courses  of  studies  pursued. 
At  a  time  when  the  common  schools 
of  the  state  were  in  more  or  less  of 
a  chaotic  condition,  these  so-called 
branches  of  the  university  afforded 
the  only  public  means  for  acquiring 
something  of  a  higher  education.  They 
served  an  admirable  purpose  as  pre- 
paratory schools  for  the  University 
during  the  first  few  years  of  its  ex- 
istence ;  they  furnished  to  some  extent 
the  much-needed  teachers  for  the  com- 
mon schools  and  without  doubt  helped 
to  interest  the  people  in  the  great  ex- 
periment, the  development  of  a  State 
University. 

The  charges  for  tuition  in  these 
branches  was  placed  at  $10.00  except  in 
the  branches  ^t  Detroit  and  Monroe, 
where  they  were  fixed,  first  at  $15.00, 
and  later  at  $19.50.  While  it  was 
necessary  that  some  income  should  be 
derived  from  tuition,  Doctor  Pitcher 
realized,  perhaps  from  his  own  ex- 
perience in  youth,  that  the  poor  should 
not  be  deprived  of  an  opportunity  to 
secure  an  education,  and  in  1838,  he 
secured  the  passage  of  a  rule  remit- 
ting the  tuition  fee  to  the  parents  or 
guardians  of  children  when  unable 
to  pay  the  amount  charged.  That  not 
a  few  availed  theinselves  of  this- pro- 
vision is  to  be  inferred  from  his  re- 


port of  the  following  year  wherein  it 
appears  that  the  two  hundred  and 
eighteen  students  in  attendance  at  the 
twelve  branches  paid  only  $4.08  per 
pupil  for  tuition. 

As  our  Medical  Department  was  es- 
sentially the  work  of  Doctor  Pitcher, 
it  is  pertinent  to  inquire  into  the  con- 
ditions which  brought  it  into  being. 
The  Organic  Act  of  1837,  provided,  as 
has  been  mentioned,  for  the  establish- 
ment of  a  University  with  at  least 
three  departments, — which  are  given 
in  the  following  order:  First,  The 
Department  of  Literature,  Science  ani 
Arts;  Second,  The  Department  of 
Law ;  and  Third,  The  Department  of 
Medicine.  In  view  of  this  sequence, 
it  has  been  inferred  that  the  organiza- 
tion of  the  Law  Department  should 
have  taken  precedence  over  that  of 
medicine.  This  it  may  be  pointed  out 
was  hardly  contemplated  by  the  Act, 
for  at  the  close  of  the  section  provid- 
ing for  the  organization  of  the  Uni- 
versity, it  is  expressly  stated  "that 
in  the  first  organization  of  the  Uni- 
versity, the  Regents  shall  so  arrange 
the  professorships,  as  to  appoint  sudi 
a  number  only  as  the  wants  of  the  in- 
stitution shall  require."  It  was  there- 
fore left  to  the  Board  to  pass  upon 
the  wants  of  the  University  and  this 
was  clearly  their  guiding  motive  when 
the  time  came  to  establish  the  several 
departments. 

It  may  be  of  interest  to  note  that 
at  one  of  the  early  meetings  of  the 
Board,  in  1838,  the  learned  School- 
craft, as  Chairman  of  the  Committee 
on  Organization,  presented  a  report 
in  which  he  endeavored  to  show  that 
the  Organic  Act  "contemplates  a  Col- 
lege of  literature,  Science  and  Arts, 
and  a  College  of  Surgeons  and 
Physicians  as  the  two  primary  in- 
stitutions. Subordinate  in  rank,  but 
at  the  same  time  perfectly  dis- 
tinct are,  a  Department  of  Law;  a 
Department  of  Natural  History  and 
Chemistry,  and  a  Department  of  Fine 
Arts,  Civil  Engineering  and  Agricul-

ture."  It  was  the  belief  of  the  com- 
mittee that  the  medical  school  could 
be  most  beneficially  located  at  Detroit 
and  a  resolution  to  this  effect  was  in- 
troduced, but  the  entire  report  was 
laid  on  the  table.  It  is  difficult  in- 
deed to  reconcile  the  statements  in 
this  report  with  the  wording  of  the 
Act  and  the  most  that  can  be  done 
is  to  assume  that  some  such  plan  prob- 
ably was  discussed  prior  to  the  pas- 
sage of  the  Act.  • 

The  vastness  of  the  educational 
scheme  laid  down  by  the  Organic  Act, 
as  well  as  financial  difficulties,  made 
it  necessaiy  for  the  regents  to  act 
slowly.  The  Literary  Department 
opened  its  doors  in  the  Fall  of  1841, 
and  for  some  years  the  tenderest  care 
and  every  effort  was  needed  to  keep 
that  much  of  the  University  alive. 
Nine  years  elapsed  from  the  time  of 
Schoolcraft's  report  before  the  matter 
of  other  departments  came  up  for  con- 
sideration. At  the  January  meeting 
of  the  Board,  in  1847,  ^  memorial  was 
presented  by  Sager,  Douglas  and  oth- 
er physicians  praying  for  the  estab- 
lishment of  a  Medical  Department 
This  memorial  was  referred  to  a  com- 
mittee of  five,  one  of  whom  was  Pitch- 
er, which  reported  on  the  following 
day  a  recommendation  for  the  crea- 
tion of  such  a  department  with  four 
professors  and  a  six  months'  course. 
On  being  referred  back  to  the  com- 
mittee, for  some  unaccountable  rea- 
son, the  latter  now  presented  a  lengthy 
and  adverse  legal  opinion  to  the  effect 
that  the  board  had  neither  the  author- 
ity nor  the  means  to  erect  special 
buildings. 

The  friends  of  the  movement,  how- 
ever, were  not  daunted,  and  at  the 
same  meeting.  Judge  Ransom  offered 
a  resolution,  providing  for  the  erection 
of  a  building  similar  to  the  one  then 
in  use  (the  present  North  Wing  of 
the  Main  Building),  with  suitable 
rooms  for  the  use  of  the  medical  de- 
partment, the  remainder  of  the  build- 
ing to  be  partitioned  into  dormitories 


for  the  accommodation  of  students. 
The  novel  idea  of  a  combination  of 
dissecting  rooms  and  dormitories  quite 
properly  did  not  meet  with  favor  and 
after  eliminating  all  mention  of  med- 
ical department,  the  motion  prevailed. 
The  result  was  the  South  College  or 
South  Wing  of  today,  which  in  its 
zoological  and  botanical  laboratories 
represents  the  nearest  approach  to  the 
medical  laboratories  for  the  use  of 
which  it  was  first  conceived. 

Doctor  Pitcher  was  too  tenacious  of 
purpose  to  spell  defeat,  and  when,  af- 
ter offering  a  further  resolution  com- 
mitting the  Board  to  the  organization 
of  the  medical  department  this  was 
tabled,  he  promptly  announced  that 
he  would  call  it  up  again  at  the  next 
meeting.  This  he  did  and,  in  August, 
1847,  pursuant  to  his  resolution,  a 
committee  was  appointed  to  report  on 
the  expediency  as  well  as  upon  a  plan 
of  organizing  the  Departments  of 
Medicine  and  Law.  This  conmiittee 
of  which  Doctor  Pitcher  was  chair- 
man, on  January  19,  1848,  presented 
a  lengthy  and  masterly  report,  which, 
with  accompanying  resolutions  was 
formally  adopted.  The  adoption  of 
this  report,  the  appointment  of  Doc- 
tors Douglas  and  Sager  as  profes- 
sors in  the  department,  and  the  ap- 
propriation of  $3,000.00  for  a  labora- 
tory building,  make  January  19,  1848, 
the  natal  day  of  the  Medical  Depart- 
ment. 

In  his  report.  Doctor  Pitcher  laid 
special  stress  upon  the  necessity  of 
earliest  possible  action  by  the  Board. 
He  showed  that  as  the  population  of 
the  state  was  rapidly  increasing  by 
immigration,  there  was  an  increasing 
demand  for  trained  physicians.  These 
could  then  be  supplied  only,  either 
from  the  offices  of  private  physicians, 
from  the  confessedly  defective  western 
schools,  or  by  immigration  from  the 
older  states.  After  showing  that 
about  one  hundred  Michigan  students 
were  attending  schools  in  Illinois,  In- 
diana, Ohio,  New  York  and  Pennsyl-

vania,  he  gave  it  as  his  opinion,  "that 
in  two  years  from  the  establishment 
of  the  University,  there  would  at  least 
fifty  students  matriculate  annually." 
The  presence  of  ninety-five  medical 
students  in  the  first  year  of  the  Col- 
lege, in  1850,  as  ag^nst  sixty-four  stu- 
dents in  the  Literary  Department,  fur- 
nished a  confirmation  of  his  views  as 
to  the  need  of  such  education. 

It  is  hardly  necessary,  and  space 
forbids,  entering  into  a  full  analysis 
of  the  report,  but  it  is  noteworthy, 
that  while  this  special  committee  on 
the  Departments  of  Law  and  Medicine, 
consisted  of  two  lawyers,  Governor 
Mundy  and  Chancellor  Famsworth, 
besides  Doctor  Pitcher,  yet  the  subject 
of  a  Law  Department  was  not  press- 
ed, and  its  consideration  was  postpon- 
ed to  the  next  meeting.  As  often 
happens,  the  few  months  stretched  out 
into  years  and  the  law  profession  did 
not  come  into  their  own  until  nine 
years  after  the  opening  of  the  Medi- 
cal Department. 

The  laboratory  building  for  which 
an  appropriation  was  made  in  Janu- 
ary, 1848,  was  slow  in  reaching  com- 
pletion. The  original  grant  of  $3,- 
000.00  was  exhausted  at  the  end  of 
a  year,  and  in  January,  1849,  ^  further 
appropriation  of  like  amount  was 
made,  and  this  was  followed  in  July 
by  a  third  allowance  of  $1,000.00.  It 
is  not  surprising  that  when  a  fourth 
request  for  funds  was  made  in  Jan- 
uary, 1850,  that  the  Board  was  anx- 
ious to  know  when  the  end  was  to 
come.  They  were  naively  assured, 
however,  that  the  medical  building 
with  its  beautiful  portico  and  attrac- 
tive cornice  would  be  far  superior 
architecturally  to  any  building  on  the 
Campus.  The  original  medical  build- 
ing, the  eastern  half  of  the  old  struc- 
ture now  standing  was  finally  com- 
pleted at  a  cost  of  $8,981.00,  and  its 
doors  were  opened  for  the  reception 
of  students  in  the  Fall  of  1850. 

It  is  worthy  of  note  as  showing  the 
esteem  in  which  Doctor  Pitcher  was 


held  by  his  colleagues  on  the  board, 
that  a  few  months  after  the  organi- 
zation of  the  Department  (July, 
1848),  a  committee  appoint^  to 
name  the  University  buildings,  pro- 
posed to  call  the  North  Building  "Ma- 
son Hall,"  and  the  South  Building, 
"Pitcher  Hall."  The  suggestion,  how- 
ever, was  not  accepted,  and  the  des- 
ignation of  North  and  South  College 
eventually  came  into  use. 

A  more  signal  honor,  however, 
came  to  him  soon  afterward,  for  at 
the  request  of  the  Medical  Faculty 
(July,  1851),  before  the  appointive 
regents  surrendered  their  trust  to  the 
elective  board,  he  was  made  "Emer- 
itus Professor  of  the  Institutes  of 
Medicine  and  Obstetrics"  in  the  Med- 
ical Department  of  the  University. 
Fifty  years  elapsed  before  this  tide 
was  again  bestowed  and  this  time  it 
came,  as  before,  to  a  medical  regent 
of  Detroit,  a  friend  of  Pitcher,  the 
genial  and  worthy  Hermann  Kiefer. 

Doctor  Pitcher  not  only  named  the 
first  Medical  Faculty,  consisting  of 
Douglas,  Sager,  Gunn,  Allen  and 
Denton,  but  also  framed  the  rules  gov- 
erning the  department.  In  this  mat- 
ter, he  took  a  position  unquestionably 
in  advance  of  the  times.  At  first,  hie 
proposed  a  course  of  nine  months,  but 
this  was  finally  changed  to  two  years 
of  six  months  each.  In  those  days 
the  term  of  instruction  in  the  medical 
colleges  of  the  country,  almost  with- 
out exception,  extended  only  over  four 
months  and  Michigan,  therefore,  may 
be  said  to  have  led  in  the  nwvement 
for  the  extension  of  the  medical 
course.  The  entrance  requirements 
were  likewise  on  the  whole  more  se- 
vere than  those  exacted  by  other 
schools.  In  later  years,  Doctor  Pitch- 
er expressed  his  regrets  at  not  hav- 
ing insisted,  as  was  his  original  inten- 
tion, on  a  nine  months'  course,  es- 
pecially with  entrance  requirements 
essentially  the  same  as  those  for  the 
Literary  Department.  The  entrance 
requirements  as  laid  down  in  his  re-

port  of  January,  1849,  covered  Eng- 
lish grammar,  geography,  arithmetic, 
algebra,  the  same  as  then  required  in 
the  Literary  Department,  and  in  ad- 
dition he  demanded  geometry  and  nat- 
ural philosophy  as  well  as  a  knowl- 
edge of  the  ancient  languages.  The 
Literary  Department  exacted  more 
Latin  and  Greek,  besides  Roman  and 
Grecian  history,  but  did  not  require 
geometry  and  natural  philosophy. 
However,  the  impress  which  he  gave 
the  Medical  Department,  it  is  worth 
noting,  lasted  for  nearly  thirty  years. 
The  course  of  nine  months  was  not 
introduced  until  1878,  and  as  for  the 
entrance  conditions,  it  is  sad  to  re- 
late that  these  were  cut  down,  more 
and  more,  until  the  lowest  level  was 
reached,  when  the  prospective  medical 
student  was  supposed  to  be  examined 
only  "in  the  dementary  branches  of 
an  English  education."  In  the  desire 
for  large  numbers  of  students,  one  of 
Pitcher's  guiding  principles  was  lost 
sight  of,  that  3ie  State  University, 
unlike  a  private  school,  should  stand 
for  the  best  and  highest  in  educaticm. 
At  first  the  instruction  in  the  Medi- 
cal Department  was  given  wholly  by 
lectures  and  recitations,  and  it  was 
the  proud  boast  of  the  Faculty  that 
the  student  received  more  than  six 
hundred  exercises  of  this  kind  in  a 
year,  while  other  colleges  gave  but 
two-thirds  of  that  amount.  The 
schedule  of  four  thousand  hours,  as 
now  required  by  many  coU^es,  shows 
the  development  that  has  taken  place 
within  the  past  thirty  years  in  medi- 
cal teaching.  The  day  is  rapidly  ap- 
proaching when  a  liberal  collegiate 
training,  in  humanities  as  well  as  in 
sciences,  will  be  required  as  a  pre- 
liminary to  entrance  upcm  medical 
studies.  But  a  greater  need  is  the 
adjustment  of  the  medical  studies, 
so  as  to  give  the  willing  stu- 
dent an  opportunity  to  prosecute  elec- 
tive work.  The  ideal  of  the  future, 
toward  which  we  must  strive,  is  a 
professional  department  which,  rest- 


ing on  a  broad,  liberal  education,  has 
a  well-balanced,  required  and  elective, 
curriculum. 

Of  clinical  instruction,  at  the  time 
of  the  founding  of  the  department, 
there  was  none  either  at  Ann  Arbor 
or  elsewhere  in  the  country.  That 
phase  of  the  physicians*  education  it 
was  expected  would  be  gathered  in 
the  waDcs  of  private  practice,  under 
the  guidance  of  a  preceptor,  and  in 
exceptional  instances  by  residence  as 
interne  in  the  hospitals  of  the  cities. 
But  this  condition  was  obviously  one 
which  could  not  last.  The  medical 
faculty  at  Ann  Arbor  endeavored  to 
impart  some  clinical  instruction  by 
bringing  occasional  patients  before 
the  students,  but  as  Doctor  Gunn, 
then  Professor  of  Surgery,  expressed 
it,  this  was  "the  greatest  *sham'  of 
all." 

The  need  of  actual  hospital  instruc- 
tion becoming  more  and  more  recog- 
nized. Doctor  Pitcher  in  a  letter  to 
the  Board  of  Regents,  in  1857,  pro- 
posed ''as  a  means  of  accomplishing 
by  approximation  what  should  be 
done"  that  a  clinical  school  be  opened 
in  Detroit  in  connection  with  St 
Mary's  and  the  United  States  Marine 
Hospital.  His  recommendation  met 
with  approval  and  he  was  appointed 
Clinical  Instructor  at  a  salary  of 
$500.00.  Accordingly,  he  put  into 
operation  what  was  perhaps  the  first 
summer  school  in  the  University.  The 
course,  which  was  optional,  ran  from 
June  15  to  Septemb^  30,  and  was  at- 
tended by  nine  students,  the  instruc- 
tion being  given  by  Doctors  Pitcher 
and  Pahner.  A  second  course  given 
during  the  summer  of  1858,  was  at- 
tended by  thirteen  students. 

About  this  time,  considerable  agi- 
tation developed  regarding  the  remov- 
al of  the  Medical  Department  to  De- 
troit, and  a  sharp  controversy  arose 
between  Professor  Gunn,  who  favored 
the  removal,  and  Doctor  Pitcher,  who 
stood  for  the  unity  of  the  University 
and  looked  upon  the  proposal  as  be-

ing  nothing  less  than  "a  crime" 
against  the  institution.  Eventually, 
the  matter  came  before  the  Board  of 
Regents,  and  the  committee  to  whom 
it  was  referred  in  a  lengthy  report 
(1858),  reflecting  in  many  ways 
Pitcher's  views  decided  against  re- 
moval. The  summer  school  at  Detroit 
was  now  looked  upon  with  disfavor, 
and  to  leave  the  regents  free  to  act. 
Pitcher  resigned,  in  the  spring  of 
1859,  his  position  as  Clinical  Instruc- 
tor, the  only  teaching  position  held 
by  him  in  the  University. 

As  might  be  expected,  Doctor 
Pitcher  took  an  active  interest  in  var- 
ious medical  societies.  He  was  pres- 
ident of  the  first  State  Medical  So- 
ciety, from  1838  to  1831,  at  which 
time  the  repeal  of  the  medical  laws 
gave  the  final  coup  de  grace  to  this 
quasi-legal  organization,  which  was 
founded  as  the  Territorial  Medical 
Society  in  1819.  In  1855,  he  was 
elected  president  of  the  second  State 
Medical  Society,  which  the  talented 
Edmund  Andrews  organized  two 
years  before.  This  society  was  short- 
lived and  died  in  i860.  It  was  fol- 
lowed in  1866  by  the  present,  the  third 
State  Medical  Society  in  which  Doc- 
tor Pitcher,  though  already  advanced 
in  years,  took  considerable  interest. 
He  had  an  active  part  in  the  several 
local  societies  which  followed  one  an- 
other, such  as  the  Detroit  Sydenham 
Society,  The  Detroit  Medical  Society 
and  the  Wayne  County  Medical  So- 
ciety. As  city  and  county  physician 
and  member  of  the  Board  of  Health 
he  gave  freely  of  services  to  the  city 
with  which  he  was  identified. 

The  larger  sphere  of  the  American 
Medical  Association  particularly  at- 
tracted him  and  from  1850  to  1865, 
with  but  few  exceptions,  we  find  him 
in  attendance  at  the  annual  meetings 
held  in  different  parts  of  the  country. 
At  the  Detroit  meeting,  held  in  1856, 
he  was  honored  by  election  to  the 
presidency  of  this  organization. 

In  his  later  years  he  was  the  grate- 


ful recipient  of  honors  from  various 
societies.  The  New  York  and  Rhode 
Island  Medical  Societies  elected  him 
to  honorary  membership  and  he  was 
corresponding  member  of  the  Phila- 
delphia Academy  of  Natural  Sciences, 
of  the  New  York  Lyceum  of  Natural 
History,  and  of  the  New  York  and 
Minnesota  Historical  Societies.  Pres- 
ident Buchanan  appointed  him  exam- 
iner of  the  Mint  in  1859,  and  also 
first  surgeon  of  the  United  States  Ma- 
rine Hospital  at  Detroit,  which  latter 
position  he  held  till  1861.  He  was 
chief  physician  to  St.  Mary's  Hos- 
pital from  1848  to  1867,  and  was  also 
a  Trustee  of  the  Michigan  State 
Asylum  at  Kalamazoo.  Although  he 
resigned  from  the  Army  service  in 
1836  he  re-entered  it  for  a  period  of 
six  months  in  1839,  occupying  the  po- 
sition of  member  of  the  Board  of  Vis- 
itors to  West  Point.  On  three  occa- 
sions he  served  as  contract  surgeon 
in  the  Army  at  Detroit,  in  1838,  1846- 
1848  and  1858-1864.  Thrice  elected 
Mayor  of  Detroit,  he  was  defeated 
for  the  governorship  in  1844. 

Lastly,  a  survey  of  the  activities  of 
Zina  Pitcher  would  be  incomplete 
without  a  brief  mention  of  his  literary 
efforts.  It  has  been  possible  to  col- 
lect some  forty-one  papers  which 
came  from  his  pen,  most  of  these  ap- 
pearing in  his  later  years.  His  most 
notable  contributions  were  in  the  form 
of  reports  on  Epidemics,  on  Meteor- 
ology, on  Medical  Education,  present- 
ed to  the  American  Medical  Asso- 
ciation. Particularly  valuable  is  one 
dealing  with  Medicine  as  practiced 
by  the  Indians,  which  appeared 
,in  Schoolcraft's  great  work..  His 
scholarly,  generous  addresses  before 
graduating  classes  and.  medical  socie- 
ties show  a  deep  philosophical  insight 
and  teem  with  suggestions  which 
make  them  worthy  of  perusal  even  at 
the  present  day.  The  shorter  papers 
dealing  with  various  diseases  reveal 
keen  observation  and  sturdy  indepen- 
dence, powers  which  were  largely  de-

veloped  during  his  early  frontier  life. 
He  was  senior  editor  of  the  Peninsu- 
lar Journal  of  Medicine  in  1855-1858, 
and  later  an  associate  editor  of  the 
Richmond  and  Louisznlle  Medical 
Journal, 

He  was  not  and  did  not  claim  to 
be  a  scientific  investigator  but  rather 
a  "scrutinizing  practitioner"  who  be- 
lieved with  Cousin  that  "Observation 
becomes  experiment  when  used  in  the 
severe  processes  of  induction."  Un- 
fortunately, one  as  well  as  the  other 
may  lead  to  false  conclusions  when 
based  on  insufficient  data.  His  views 
on  the  nature  of  the  virus  of  erysipe- 
las, expressed  in  substance  the  con- 
clusions arrived  at  in  later  years,  while 
his  ideas  regarding  the  causation  of 
puerperal  fever  fell  short  of  those 
brought  out  by  Oliver  Wendell 
Holmes,  who  was  the  first  to  clearly 
point  out  its  mode  of  transmission. 
He  believed  in  the  epidemic  charac- 
ter of  the  disease,  and  even  conceded 
that  it  might  become  contagious  in 
limited  and  close  compartments,  as 
in  hospitals,  but  it  was  as  difficult  for 
him  to  believe  that  it  was  communi- 
cated by  the  touch  of  the  physician  as 
that  the  royal  touch  should  cure  scro- 
fula. 

In  the  treatment  of  his  patients  he 
relied  on  his  own  judgment,  having, 
as  he  expressed  it,  "no  regard  to  the 
dictum  of  any  authority  unless  en- 
forced by  reasons"  which  overruled 
his  opinions.  He  was  a  bold,  but, 
above  all,  a  conservative  operator, 
never  making  use  of  the  knife  un- 
less convinced  that  life  was  in  real 
danger.  A  peculiarly  interesting  in- 
cident illustrating  his  surgical  conser- 
vatism is  worthy  of  mention  in  this 
connection,  especially  as  it  brings  to- 
gether the  past  and  the  present.  Some 
time  during  the  early  forties  a  young 
boy,  Peter  White,  now  an  honored  re- 
gent of  the  University,  was  brought 
by  steamer  to  Detroit  suffering  from 
a  broken  arm  which  lack  of  medical 


aid  in  Northern  Michigan  had  not 
improved.  The  physician  to  whom 
he  was  brought  decided  that  an  am- 
putation was  the  only  recourse,  but 
at  the  last  moment  while  the  patient 
was  already  strapped  preparatory  to 
operation,  the  custom  in  preansesthetic 
days,  Doctor  Pitcher  arrived  and,  af- 
ter examining  the  arm,  expressed  the 
belief  that  it  could  be  saved  and  asked 
for  permission  to  make  the  attempt. 
The  arm  was  saved  and  ho  grateful 
patient  ever  paid  a  more  graceful  trib- 
ute than  he  who  provided  that  the 
g^ave  of  Pitcher  should  be  covered 
annually  with  blossoming  flowers. 

Doctor  Pitcher  was  twice  married; 
first,  in  1824  to  Anna  Sheldon  of 
Kalamazoo  county,  by  whom  he  had 
a  son,  Nathaniel,  and  a  daughter, 
Rosa  (Mrs.  L.  E.  Higby),  who  died 
without  issue.  His  wife  dying  in 
1864,  he  married  in  1867  Mrs.  Emily 
L.  Backus,  of  Detroit,  a  grand  daugh- 
ter of  Colonel  Nathaniel  Rochester, 
who  founded  Rochester,  New  York. 
A  son  by  this  marriage,  Sydney  Roch- 
ester, died  when  but  five  months  of 
age. 

Doctor  Pitcher  remained  in  active 
practice  until  failing  health,  in  the 
summer  of  1871,  compelled  him  to 
relinquish  all  work.  After  a  long 
period  of  illness  attended  with  great 
physical  suffering,  which  he  bore  with 
heroic  patience,  he  breathed  his  last 
on  April  5,  1872. 

A  long  life  closed  and  with  it  pass- 
ed away  one  whose  distinguished  ser- 
vices in  behalf  of  his  fellowmen  can- 
not be  forgotten.  To  him,  the  first 
medical  regent,  the  University  owes 
much.  On  more  than  one  occasion 
he  has  been  styled  "the  Father  of 
Medicine"  in  Michigan,  but  a  proud- 
er title  attaches  to  his  name,  that  of 
"The  Founder"  of  the  Medical  De- 
partment of  the  University. 

Frederick  G.  Novy^  Sc.D.,  M.D., 
Professor  of  Bacteriology  in

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[April 


SOME  GRADUATES  OF  THE  DEPARTMENT 
OF  MEDICIDE  AND  SURGERY 

This  department  has  furnished  edu- 
cation to  many  men  who  have  become 
prominent  in  their  profession.  It  is 
the  purpose  of  this  short  paper  to  give 
a  brief  statement  concerning  some  of 
the  graduates  in  medicine  and  surgery. 

The  first  class  which  graduated  was 
that  of  1851.  Probably  the  most  emi- 
nent graduate  of  that  class  was  the 
late  Dr.  Robert  C.  Kedzie,  who,  for 
many  years,  held  the  chair  of  chemis- 
try in  the  Michigan  Agricultural  Col- 
lege, and  who  made  many  valuable 
original  contributions  to  chemical  sci- 
ence. Dr.  Kedzie  was  an  A.B.  of 
Oberlin  in  1847,  2ind  the  University 
conferred  upon  him  the  honorary  de- 
gree of  LL.D.  in  1900.  He  served 
during  the  war  as  surgeon  of  the  12th 
Michigan  Infantry.  Dr.  Kedzie  be- 
came a  most  expert  toxicologist,  and 
rendered  the  public  great  service  by 
calling  attention  to  the  fact  some  25 
or  30  years  ago  that  much  of  the 
highly  colored  wall  paper  used  in  dec- 
orating houses  contained  arsenic,  and 
he  showed  that  many  cases  of  chronic 

?>isoning  resulted  from  this  substance, 
he  agitation  of  the  questions  by  Dr. 
Kedzie  and  others  led  to  the  discon- 
tinuance of  arsenical  coloring  matters 
in  wall  papers,  and  now  such  colored 
papers  cannot  be  found.  Dr.  Kedzie, 
with  Dr.  Vaughan,  in  the  fam€)us  Mil- 
lard trial  in  Ionia  county  in  1882, 
showed  that,  contrary  to  the  teaching 
of  all  medical  authorities  up  to  that 
time,  arsenic  injected  into  a  dead  body 
diffuses  throughout  all  the  tissues,  and 
ultimately  may  be  found  in  every  part 
of  the  body. 

Dr.  Kedzie  rendered  distinguished 
service  to  the  state  in  determining  the 
value  of  the  flash  test  for  kerosene; 
also,  as  a  member  of  the  State  Board 
of  Health  he  made  a  close  study  of 
the    methods    of    resuscitating    the 


drowned,  and  the  so-called  Michigan 
method  which  has  been  widely  copied 
in  all  parts  of  the  world  originated 
with  Drs.  Kedzie  and  Baker  of  tbc 
State  Board  of  Health. 

Dr.  Henry  Clay  Huntsman,  of  Os- 
kaloosa,  Iowa,  was  also  a  prominent 
member  of  the  profession.  He  had 
a  large  practice  and  a  state  reputation 
in  his  profession,  and  hig^  standing 
as  a  citizen.  He  died  at  Oskaloosa 
in  1887. 

The  most  distinguished  member  of 
the  class  of  1852  was  the  late  Edmund 
Andrews,  of  Chicago.  Dr.  Andrews 
took  his  A.B.  degree  from  this  Univer- 
sity in  1849,  ^^^  ^^  ^  while  after  his 
graduation  in  medicine  was  demon- 
strator of  anatomy.  I^ater  he  moved 
to  Chicago,  and  associated  himself 
with  Dr.  Johnson  who  had  been  a 
class-mate  of  his  in  the  Literary  De- 
partment. Dr.  Johnson  became  Pro- 
fessor of  Medicine  and  Dr.  Andrews 
Professor  of  Surgery  in  Chicago  Med- 
ical College,  now  the  Medical  Depart- 
ment of  Northwestern  Universi^. 
This  was  the  first  medical  school  m 
the  United  States  to  extend  its  teadi- 
ing  term  to  three  years,  and  this  was 
brought  about  by  the  three  very  strong 
men  upon  its  faculty,  Drs.  ^drews, 
Johnson  and  N.  S.  Davis. 

Dr.  Andrews  made  many  most  valu- 
able contributions  to  surgery,  and  he 
was  the  first  to  show  positively,  by 
statistical  evidence,  that  ether  anes- 
thesia is  much  safer  than  chloroform 
anesthesia.  Some  25  years  ago  he 
collected  thousands  of  cases  of  anes- 
thesia under  both  of  these  anesthetics, 
and  the  evidence  that  ether  anesthesia 
was  the  safer  admitted  of  no  question. 

Dr.  Andrews  was  not  only  a  great 
surgeon  but  he  was  the  founder  of 
the  Chicago  Academy  of  Natural  Sci- 
ences, and  he  had  a  well  deserved  and 
honorable  reputation  not  only  in  this

country,  but  in  all  parts  of  the  civilized 
world,  as  an  authority  upon  geological 
subjects.  There  has  probably  lived  no 
man  who  has  known  more  about  the 
giQology  of  the  Great  Lakes  than  Dr. 
Andrews.  His  contributions  to  the 
geology  of  the  shores  of  the  Great 
Lakes  and  the  conformation  of  the 
terraces  that  make  these  shores  have 
received  world-wide  recognition. 

One  of  the  most  unique  characters 
o£  the  class  of  1853  ^^  Dr.  Michael 
Beshoar.  After  graduation  Dr.  Be- 
fllioar  practiced  medicine  in  Arkansas, 
and  when  the  Civil  War  brdce  out  he 
became  a  surgeon  in  the  Confederate 
army,  and  was  captured  and  held  in 
prison  for  some  months  at  St  Louis, 
Mo.  One  day,  when  a  distinguished 
otBcer  was  visiting  the  prison  Dr.  Be- 
tilioar  told  him  that  he  would  just  as 
soon  take  care  of  Union  as  Confed- 
&rate  soldiers,  and  he  was  commis- 
sioned a  surgeon  in  the  U.  S.  army. 
It  is  probable  that  Dr.  Beshoar  pos- 
sessed the  unique  distinction  of  hav- 
ing served  as  a  medical  officer  both  in 
the  Confederate  and  Federal  service. 
After  the  war  he  continued  the  prac- 
tice of  medicine  in  Colorado.  In  1903, 
50  years  after  his  graduation,  he  re- 
turned to  the  University  where  he 
met  two  or  three  of  his  class-mates. 
The  old  boys  had  a  good  time,  and 
this  was  probably  the  last  reunic»i  of 
the  class.  Dr.  Beshoar  was  not  only 
a  skillful  medical  man,  but  he  was  re- 
garded all  through  Colorado  as  a  man 
with  a  big  heart,  and  all  classes  of 
people  loved  and  honored  him.  He 
died  only  a  few  months  ago. 

One  of  the  prominent  men  of  1854 
was  Dr.  John  R.  Bailey,  a  physician 
and  soldier.  He  served  throughout 
the  war  as  surgeon  of  the  Eighth  Mis- 
souri Infantry,  and  for  many  years 
after  the  war  continued  in  the  army 
service.  Later  he  practiced  medicine 
at  Mackinaw  Island,  and  wrote  an  in- 
teresting history  of  the  Mackinaw  re- 
gion. 

Another  of  the  class  of  1854  who 


still  remains  in  active  practice  is  Dr. 
Philip  A.  Knight,  now  of  Utica,  Mich. 
Dr.  Knight  has  Icmg  enjoyed  a  large 
practice,  and  is  a  man  of  authority 
among  his  felbw  citizens. 

In  the  class  of  1855  was  Dr.  Zenas 
E.  Bliss,  one  of  four  distinguished 
brothers,  three  of  whom  studied  med- 
icine, while  the  other  became  Gover- 
nor of  Michigan.  One  of  Dr.  Bliss's 
brothers  became  Surgeon  General  of 
the  U.  S.  army,  while  another  became 
President  of  the  Michigan  State  Med- 
ical Society,  and  was  for  many  years 
the  Nestor  of  the  profession  in  the 
Saginaw  Valley.  In  the  same  class, 
William  Warren  Green  graduated, 
and  afterwards  became  professor  of 
Surgery  in  this  University.  Dr.  Green 
was  the  -first  surgeon,  so  far  as  is 
known,  in  the  world  to  remove  the 
thyroid  gland.  The  operation  was 
done  in  the  upper  amphitheatre  of  the 
old  medical  building.  He  was  highly 
honored  both  in  this  country  and 
abroad,  and  it  was  while  returning 
from  England  that  he  died  at  sea. 
His  son,  Dr.  Chas.  L.  Green,  is  pro- 
fessor of  Internal  Medicine  in  the 
Department  of  Medicine  and  Surgery 
of  the  University  of  Minnesota. 

Probably  the  most  distinguished 
member  of  the  class  of  1856  was  Dr. 
A.  F.  Wheelan  who  served  as  surgeon 
of  the  first  Michigan  Sharpshooters, 
and  lived  and  practiced  medicine  at 
Hillsdale.  He  served  several  terms 
as  official  examiner  in  the  Depart- 
ment of  Medicine  and  Surgery.  Out 
of  thirty  members  the  class  of  1856 
furnished  twelve  regimental  surgeons 
in  the  War  of  the  Rebellion. 

Among  the  members  of  the  class 
of  1857  the  late  Dr.  William  Parmen- 
ter  deserves  mention.  Dr.  Parmenter 
was  a  gfraduate  of  Oberlin,  resided 
and  practiced  medicine  at  Vermont- 
ville,  Michigan,  was  one  of  the  pio- 
neers in  that  region,  and  became  a  sur- 
geon of  marked  local  reputation.  Much 
the  same  can  be  said  of  the  late  Dr. 
Cyrus  Smith,  who  served  as  surgeon

[April 


of  the  Ninth  Michigan  Infantry,  and 
practiced  at  Jackson,  Michigan,  where 
he  died  in  1899. 

In  the  class  of  1858  was  Thomas 
Lothrop,  who  became  eminent  as  a 
practitioner  and  as  a  teacher  of  med- 
icine in  the  University  of  Buffalo.  Dr. 
Lothrop  was  given  the  degree  of  Ph. 
D.  by  Niagara  University  in  1884, 
and  the  degree  of  A.M.  by  Hobart 
College  in  1896.  For  many  years  he 
edited,  with  great  success  and  ability 
the  Buffalo  Medical  and  Surgical 
Journal,  and  was  one  of  the  leaders 
of  the  profession  in  that  city. 

Dr.  Wm.  F.  Breakey,  now  a  mem- 
ber of  the  Faculty,  graduated  in  the 
class  of  1859.  He  served  as  assistant 
surgeon  in  the  Sixteenth  Michigan 
Infantry  during  the  War  of  the  Re- 
bellion, has  practiced  medicine  con- 
tinuously in  Ann  Arbor,  has  made 
himself  an  authority  on  cancer  and 
diseases  of  the  skin,  and  now  conducts 
a  large  clinic  in  University  Hospital. 

Dr.  D.  W.  Loree  was  a  member  of 
the  class  of  i860.  He  practiced  medi- 
cine during  the  whole  of  his  profes- 
sional career  in  the  village  of  Ridge- 
way,  Michigan,  but  made  many  valua- 
ble contributions  to  medicine  and  sur- 
gery, especially  in  the  method  of 
treating  fractures.  His  son  is  now  a 
member  of  the  medical  faculty.  In 
the  same  class  was  the  late  Henry  F. 
Lyster,  at  one  time  Professor  of  Sur- 
gery and  later  Professor  of  Internal 
Medicine  in  this  University.  Dr. 
Lyster  was  a  leader  in  his  profession 
in  the  city  of  Detroit,  and  was  a 
member  and  President  of  the  Michi- 
gan State  Board  of  Health  for  many 
years.  He  was  a  versatile  and  fre- 
quent contributor  to  medical  literature 
and  did  much  t6  elevate  the  ideals 
and  standards  of  the  medical  profes- 
sion. 

Of  the  class  of  1861  Dr.  Milton 
Chase  of  Otsego,  Michigan,  is  a 
worthy  representative.  Dr.  Chase 
served  during  the  War  of  the  Rebel- 
lion as  surgeon  of  the  Sixth  Michigan 


Infantry,  and  since  that  time  has  prac- 
ticed medicine  in  Michigan,  and  has 
contributed  largely  to  the  growth  and 
elevation  of  the  profession.  In  the 
same  class  was  Dr.  Henry  A.  Cleland, 
who  served  as  assistant  surgeon  in 
the  Second  Michigan  Infantry,  and 
has  practiced  medicine  for  many  years 
in  Detroit.  Another  worthy  member 
of  the  class  of  1861  was  the  late  Dr. 
F.  B.  Galbraith  of  Pontiac,  Michigan. 
Dr.  Galbraith  was  assistant  surgeon 
of  the  Tenth  Michigan  Infantry,  and 
practiced  for  many  years  at  Pontiac. 
He  was  an  ideal  gentleman,  a  leader 
in  his  profession,  and  beloved  by  both 
patient  and  colleague.  The  same  may 
be  said  of  his  confrere  and  class-mate. 
Dr.  Robert  Le  Baron,  who  served  as 
assistant  surgeon  of  the  Fourth  Mich- 
igan Infantry,  and  has  since  practiced 
in  Pontiac. 

The  late  Ransom  Dexter  was  a 
member  of  the  class  of  1862.  He 
lived  in  Chicago  and  was  made  an 
LL.D.  by  the  University  of  Chicago. 
Another  prominent  member  of  the 
class  of  1862  was  Preston  B.  Rose, 
who  served  as  assistant  surgeon  of 
the  Fifth  Michigan  Infantry,  and  lost 
a  limb  while  in  service.  He  served 
for  many  years  as  a  member  of  the 
Faculty  in  the  Chemical  Department. 
In  the  same  class  was  the  late  Wil- 
liam Wood,  who  died  in  Grand  Rap- 
ids in  1895,  after  having  made  for 
himself  an  honorable  name  in  his  pro- 
fession. 

Many  of  the  class  of  1863  immedi- 
ately after  graduation  enlisted  in  the 
medical  service  of  the  United  States 
Army,  and  became  more  or  less  prom- 
inent in  the  annals  of  the  war.  Among 
these  we  may  mention  Clarence  M. 
Baker,  Charles  E.  Beardsley,  Edward 
H.  Dewey,  John  H.  Doty,  George  W. 
Johnson,  Samuel  Kitchen,  Charles  S. 
Merrill,  George  E.  Ranney,  Orrin  B. 
Thompson  and  Robert  A.  Whedon. 

The  class  of  1864  supplied  the  med- 
ical Faculty  with  two  of  its  most 
worthy  members.    Tht  late  George  E.

THE  MEDICAL  ALUMNI

Frothingham  was  at  first  demonstra- 
tor of  Anatomy  and  later  founder  of 
the  Department  of  Ophthalmology. 
Dr.  Frothingham  was  a  pioneer  in  his 
specialty  in  this  part  of  the  country, 
and  his  contributions  won  for  him  a 
reputation  beyond  the  confines  of  the 
United  States.  The  other  member  of 
the  Faculty,  graduated  in  1864,  was 
the  late  Albert  B.  Prescott,  who  prob- 
ably did  more  for  the  advancement 
of  research  along  chemical  lines  in 
this  university  than  anyone  else.  The 
development  of  the  chemical  labora- 
tory was  due  largely  to  Drs.  Prescott 
and  Douglas,  and  the  excellent  rep- 
utation that  this  university  today  has 
among  chemists  all  over  the  world  is 
largely  the  result  of  the  untiring  and 
skillful  researches  of  Prescott. 

In  the  class  of  1865  we  may  men- 
tion the  late  Dexter  V.  Dean,  who 
for  so  many  years  had  charge  of  the 
general  hospital  at  St.  Louis,  and  who 
was  likewise  known  for  his  devotion 
to  the  science  and  the  neglect  of  the 
practical  affairs  of  medicine.  He  was 
so  engrossed  in  his  scientific  work  that 
he  forgot  every  monetary  considera- 
tion connected  with  the  profession. 
He  had  the  respect  of  all  of  his  col- 
leagues and  neglected  his  own  neces- 
sities. In  the  same  class  was  Major 
Henry  S.  Kilboum,  who  soon  after 
graduation  entered  the  medical  ser- 
vice of  the  army,  and  has  continued 
in  that  work,  with  credit  to  himself 
and  profit  to  the  service. 

In  the  class  of  1866  the  brilliant  but 
unfortunately  short-lived  Henry  S. 
Cheever  graduated.  He  soon  became 
Professor  of  Materia  Medica  and 
Therapeutics.  His  contributions  were 
of  the  most  valuable  kind.  He  was  a 
teacher  of  great  excellence,  and  in  him 
the  university  had  the  promise  of  one 
of  its  most  eminent  sons.  Unfortu- 
nately his  life  was  too  short.  Anoth- 
er prominent  member  of  the  class  of 
1866  was  the  late  William  H.  Daley, 
who  served  on  the  ^taff  of  General 
Miles  in  the  Spanish-American  War. 


He  practiced  medicine  for  many  years 
at  Pittsburg,  where  he  died  in  1901, 
Dr.  Daley  was  a  man  of  commanding 
presence,  pleasing  manner,  and  thor- 
oughly alive  at  all  times  to  the  best 
there  is  in  the  profession.  In  the 
same  class  was  Henry  M.  Hurd,  for 
many  years  superintendent  of  the  In- 
sane Asylum  at  Pontiac,  and  since 
that  time  the  distinguished  head  of  the 
Johns  Hopkins  hospital  at  Baltimore. 
Dr.  Hurd  is  a  scholar  of  a  wide  range 
of  knowledge,  a  most  cultivated  gen- 
tleman, and  an  executive  officer  of 
great  skill.  Still  another  distinguish- 
ed member  of  the  class  of  1866  is  Dr. 
Lewis  S.  F.  Pilcher,  A.B.  '62,  A.M. 
'63,  LL.D.  '00.  Dr.  Pilcher  founded 
and  has  edited  "The  Annals  of  Sur- 
gery," one  of  the  great  surgical  jour- 
nals of  the  times.  He  continues  active 
in  his  work  and  is  one  of  the  leaders 
of  his  profession  in  Brooklyn. 

The  class  of  1867  contained  among 
its  members  the  late  Byron  W.  Chee- 
ver, who  later  became  professor  in  the 
chemical  department  of  this  univer- 
sity. Byron  Cheever,  like  his  brother 
Henry,  was  a  brilliant  man  and  had  in 
him  the  promise  of  a  great  future,  but 
unfortunately  he  too  was  short-lived. 
In  the  same  class  was  Joseph  B.  Gir- 
ard,  who  has  been  in  the  medical  ser- 
vice of  the  U.  S.  army  since  1867,  ^^^ 
is  now  one  of  the  oldest  medical  offi- 
cers in  point  of  time.  In  the  same 
class  was  A.  O.  Revenaugh,  who 
painted  the  very  life-like  portrait  of 
Dr.  Ford,  now  to  be  seen  in  the  Fac- 
ulty Room.  Dr.  Revenaugh  did  not 
follow  his  profession,  but  has  become 
a  portrait  painter  and  lives  in  Louis- 
ville, Kentucky. 

In  the  class  of  1868,  among  others 
of  prominence  was  Dr.  A.  B.  Lyons, 
who  has  made  for  himself  a  reputation 
as  a  chemist,  having  done  much  re- 
search work  especially  in  plant  chem- 
istry. In  the  same  class  was  Dr.  John 
North,  for  many  years  a  professor  in 
the  medical  school  at  Kedcuk,  Iowa, 
and  since  that  time  Professor  of  Di-

all  of  his  class-mates  with  the  deepest

to  his  profession.  The  earnestness 
which  he  gave  to  his  work  and  the 
zeal  with  which  he  attended  to  his

FRBSH.SOPH  MEET  BEST  IN  YEARS 

By  the  close  score  of  40  2-3  to  36  1-3  the 
freshmen  won  the  annual  Fresh-Soph  meet 
in  Waterman  gymnasium,  March  7,  in  one 
of  the  best  indoor  contests  ever  seen  in 
Ann  Arbor.  At  no  time  was  the  final  re- 
sult certain,  and  when  the  meet  was  over 
Director  Fitzpatrick  declared  it  one  of  the 
best  he  had  ever  witnessed.  Ralph  Craig, 
'11  lit,  was  the  best  individual  point  win- 
ner, taking  first  in  both  hurdles,  running 
a  dead  heat  in  the  35  yard  dash  with  Mc- 
Nair,  and  tieing  for  third  in  the  high 
jump,  thus  making  his  total  14  1-3.  Tor- 
rey,  his  nearest  rival,  won  11  points  for 
the  same  team.  Craig  set  a  new  fresh- 
soph  record  of  4  1-5  seconds  in  the  low 
hurdles,  equaling  the  gym.  record. 

Several  splendid  struggles  during  the  ev- 
ening revealed  some  of  the  strength  Mich- 
igan may  show  later  in  the  year.  In  the 
pole  vault  six  men  went  over  10  feet  6 
inches,  Allerdicc  winning  the  event  at  10 
feet  9  inches.  Torrey  jumped  5  feet  8 
inches.  The  four  men  in  the  finals  in  the 
35  yard  dash  finished  almost  abreast  in  :04 
1-5.  The  long  distance  runs  were  all 
worthy  of  comment  and  each  brought  the 
rooters  to  their  feet  with  excitement,  and 
the  relay  was  one  of  the  keenest  contests 
of  the  evening.  Each  man  of  the  sopho- 
more team  has  a  track  record  of  :i3  3-5, 
and  each  of  the  freshmen  has  done  the  cir- 
cuit in  the  same  time  with  the  exception 
of  Craig  who  has  bettered  his  teammates 
by  1-5  of  a  second.  His  superiority  told 
and  his  team  won  by  the  narrowest  margin 
in  the  wonderful  time  of  53  2-5  seconds. 

The  summaries: 

Shotput — Benbrook  (F),  40  feet  8  inches;

VARSITY  MEET  SHOWS  FUTURE 
TRACK  STARS 

The  annual  Varsity  meet  held  in  the 
gymnasium,  March  14,  was  unproductive 
of  new  records,  its  main  purpose  being  to 
show  the  effect  of  the  other  indoor  work  on 
the  probable  candidates  for  the  track  team 
which  will  be  picked  next  month. 

With  the  exception  of  the  shot  put,  com- 
petition was  lively  throughout  the  meet. 
Benbrook,  the  only  entry  in  the  weight 
event  approached  Carrel's  last  year's  mark 
with  a  put  of  42  feet  11^  inches. 

McNair  captured  the  35-yard  dash  in 
the  usual  :04  1-5.  Craig  and  Keck  almost 
ran  a  dead  heat  for  second,  Craig  winning 
the  place  by  inches. 

Craig  won  the  low  hurdles  in  the  good 
time  of  :05  1-5.  One  time-keeper  got  :05 
flat,  the  world's  record  for  this  event,  but 
the  others  all  recorded  the  additional  fifth 
of  a  second.  Torrey  ran  a  good  second, 
to  the  winner.  Earl  Smith  took  the  high 
hurdles  in  a  splendid  spurt  at  the  finish, 
winning  from  Craig  by  a  yard. 

Levinson's  plucky  work  won  the  pole 
vault  from  Sauer  at  10  feet  9  inches.  Tor- 
rey was  the  best  in  a  squad  of  high  jump- 
ers, capturing  the  event  at  5  feet  8  inches. 

The  races  on  the  running  track  all  show-

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[April 


ed  good  struggles.  Myer's  quarter  was 
only  two-fifths  of  a  second  over  Davey's 
record  and  Dull  lead  Saxton  and  May  a 
fast  mile. 

Several  veteran  athletes  were  back  for 
the  meet  "King"  Cole,  at  present  coach 
of  the  Nebraska  eleveft,  William  M.  Hes- 
ton,  the  famous  half-back,  and  Aikman 
Armstrong,  holder  of  the  high  jump  rec- 
ord, were  on  the  floor. 

The  summaries: 

Shotput — Benbrook  (single  entry),  42  ft 
II  1-2  in. 

Pole  vault— rLevinson,  10  ft.  9  in. ;  Sauer, 
10  ft.  6  in.;  Wright,  10  ft

ond; Keck,  third.    Time— :04  1-5.

Speaal  1,000  yards  run — Coe  defeated 
Haskins.    Time— 2:16  3-5. 


COE  DEFEATS  HASKINS 

Running  easily  and  steadily,  Harry 
"Spider"  Coe,  defeated  Guy  Haskins,  for- 
merly of  Pennsylvania,  in  a  special  1,000- 
yard  pursuit  race  held  at  the  Varsity  meet, 
March  14.    The  winner's  time  was  2:16  3-5. 

Both  men  ran  about  even  the  first  two 
laps,  then  the  Easterner  quickened  his  pace 
and  held  a  slight  lead  for  two  circuits  of 
the  track.  But  the  fifth  time  around  saw 
Coe  forge  to  the  front,  and,  gaining  slowly 
throughout  the  rest  of  the  race,  win  by  a 
comfortable  margin  of  from  10  to  15  yards. 

The  visitor  was  handicapped  by  lack  of 
familiarity  with  the  track  and  the  strange- 
ness of  the  pursuit  race,  but  he  showed 
magnificent  form  and  great  courage  at  all 
times.  Coe's  victory  over  the  man  who 
defeated  him  at  last  year's  Eastern  Inter- 
collegiate Meet  won  great  praise  from  the 
judges  and  spectators. 


MICHIGAN    DEFEATS   FIRST  REGI- 
MENT  OF  CHICAGO 

In  a  meet  marked  by  keen  competition 
but  no  record-breaking  performances  the 
Varsity  triumphed  over  the  team  of  the 
First   Regiment   of   the    Illinois    National 


Guard  of  Chicago  in  Waterman  gymnasi- 
um, March  21,  by  a  score  of  42  to  30. 

Michigan  started  auspiciously  by  taking 
two  places  in  the  weight  event  The  reg- 
iment's single  entry  was  a  poor  third. 

The  Chicago  men,  aided  by  the  errors 
of  the  judges  which  kept  Keck  of  Michi- 
gan out  of  the  finals,  won  the  dash  in 
the  slow  time  of  104  2-5.  Homer  nosed 
Dee  out  for  second  by  a  few  inches. 

Only  one  hurdle  race  was  run — ^that  over 
the  high  sticks.  McGann,  for  the  Soldiers, 
beat  the  starter's  gun  and  won  the  event 
by  inches  from  Hulbert 

As  was  expected,  the  pole  vault  went 
to  the  visitors.  Iddings,  the  Chicago  Uni- 
versity star,  and  Kimball  both  made  11 
feet  while  Sauer's  best  efforts  failed  to 
clear  the  bar  at  that  height  An  attempt 
was  then  made  to  break  Dvorak's  gym 
record  of  11  feet  3  inches  but  neither  one 
of  the  soldiers  could  accomplish  the  feat 
At  this  point  the  score  stood  20  for  the 
regiment  and  16  for  Michigan. 

The  high  jump  was  an  easy  victory  for 
Kirkpatrick  of  the  militiamen,  who  made 
5  feet  9  inches  without  an  effort,  bringing 
his  team's  score  25  against  20. 

Up  to  this  time  the  regiment  had  won 
four  of  the  five  events  on  the  gym.  floor. 
With  three  remaining  contests  on  the  track 
Michigan  had  the  best  chance  to  even 
things  up.  Three  firsts,  two  seconds,  and 
on  third  in  the  quarter,  half  and  mile  ex- 
plain how  the  lead  of  the  soldiers  was  over- 
come. 

Merritt  found  Larson  easy  in  the  quar- 
ter, winning  in  the  slow  time  of  :54  2-5; 
Warner,  the  other  Varsity  entry,  taking 
third. 

Coe  and  Bohnsack  had  no  difi[icult3r  in 
taking  two  places  in  the  half.  The  time, 
1 :58  i-S,  was  only  3-5  second  slower  than 
the  gym.   record. 

Michigan  nearly  won  three  places  in  the 
mile.  Dull  and  May  early  cinched  first 
and  second  but  Saxton,  after  a  plucky 
struggle,  was  defeated  by  Plant  by  a  yard. 

The  relay  was  an  easy  victory  for  Mich- 
igan. Keck  gained  two  yards,  Netzorg  ten 
more,  Bohnsack  stretched  his  lead  to  a 
third  of  a  lap  and  "Spider"  Coe  crossed 
the  line  three-quarters  of  a  lap  ahead  of 
the  Windy  City  opponent 

The  summanes: 

Shotput— Benbrook  (M),  first,  42  ft  4

ATHLETIC  CARNIVAL  DECIDES  VIC- 
TORS  IN  CLASS  SERIES 

The  minor  sports  carnival  held  in  the 
gym  March  28  decided  the  winners  in  the 
inter-class  relay  and  basketball  series,  the 
fencing  competition,  and  the  final  wrestling 
bouts.  Preliminaries  and  elimination  trials 
kad  all  been  gone  through  before  this  oc- 
casion and  only  the  finals  in  these  four 
branches  of  lesser  athletics  were  on  the 
schedule.  The  class  relay  championship 
went  to  the  191 1  lits  who  defeated  the  1908 
laws  after  a  splendid  struggle.  The  1909 
engineers  overcame  the  1910  laws  in  the 
basketball  game  by  the  close  score  of  28 
to  23.  Donald  Haines  won  the  fencing 
title,  and  Combs,  Heyfron,  Welsch,  Ander- 
son and  Hansen  their  bouts  in  the  wrest- 
ling tourney. 

In  the  relay  race  the  contest  between  the 
lits  and  laws  was  a  worthy  one.  Craig's 
one-fifth  second  advantage  proved  the  sal- 
vation of  the  freshman  quartet.  Homer, 
*ii,  led  off  against  Forshee,  '08/,  and  the 
men  were  about  even  when  they  gave  the 
touch  to  Getz  and  Wolin  respectively.  Getz 
gave  Ryan  about  a  yard  lead  over  Harris, 
and  Ryan  increased  it  before  he  gave  the 
touch  to  Craig.  Dunan,  the  last  runner 
for  the  laws,  tore  away  at  a  great  pace, 
but  his  best  was  a  little  slower  than  Craig's 
and  the  latter  finished  the  lap  with  about 
three  yards  to  spare. 

The  laws  proved  a  great  surprise  in  the 
basketball  game.  The  engineers  were  con- 
fident in  their  ability  to  run  up  a  good  score 
on  their  legal  opponents  and  for  the  first 
few  minutes  of  the  first  half  the  fresh- 
men had  stage  fright  so  badly  that  the 
bridge  builders  were  able  to  acquire  a 
comfortable  lead.  But  the  laws  showed 
good  courage  and  came  back  so  strong  in 
9ie  second  half  that  they  outplayed  &eir 
more  experienced  opponents  in  every  wa^, 
scoring  15  to  the  engineers'   13  pomts  m 


this  period.  The  team  work  of  the  en- 
gineers, especially  in  the  first  half  and  the 
tact  that  the  law  team  was  ill  balanced 
and  in  rather  poor  condition  largely  ac- 
counts for  the  result. 

The  two  individual  stars  of  the  game, 
Tyler  and  Hodson,  opposed  each  other  at 
center.  The  former  scored  18  points  for 
the  engineers,  his  fast  work  and  spectacular 
basket  throwing  winning  him  great  praise. 
Hodson  of  the  laws,  tibough  handicapped 
by  ill  health,  was  the  defensive  leader  of 
his  team.  Time  and  again  he  would  break 
up  the  team  work  of  the  engineers  and 
feed  the  ball  to  his  forwards.  Dunsmore, 
the  engineer  forward,  was  a  valuable  man 
in  passing  the  ball.  His  basket  shooting 
was  responsible  for  8  points.  Wasmund, 
captain  of  the  engineers,  guarded  well  but 
was  weak  at  the  baskets.  Ely  and  Immel 
deserve  great  credit  for  the  showing  made 
by  the  law  five.  Immel  was  a  puzzle 
to  the  opposing  guards  and  his  dribbling 
was  one  of  the  features  of  the  game.  At 
the  end  of  the  first  half  the  score  stood 
15  to  8  in  favor  of  the  engineers. 

The  line-up: 
Engineers — 

Guards:     Wasmund,  Campbell. 

Center :     Tyler. 

Forwards:     Dunsmore,  Clark. 

Laws — 

Guards:     Ely,  Spalding.

Immel  4,  Hodson,  Clark.  Fouls— Tyler  6, 
Hodson  4,  Luther. 

Referee— Corneal. 

Ailderson  and  Stahl,  contestants  for  the

No  reguar  program  was  arranged,  but

will  be  glad  to  hear  that  we  enroll  this 
year  over  five  thousand  students. 

James  B.  Angeuu 
Fitzhugh  Bums,  Esq., 
St  Paul,  Minn. 

My  Dear  Sir:  Your  favor  of  the  12th 
inst.  did  not  reach  me  until  yesterday,  the 
17th.  It  encountered  a  blizzard  perhaps. 
Your  cordial  invitation  to  meet  the  boys 
on  the  2 1  St  warms  the  cockles  of  the 
heart  like  a  generous  sip  of  old  wine.  It 
is  a  source  of  great  pleasure,  I  can  assure 
you,  to  be  reminded  that  when  the  pleas- 
ures of  college  life  are  recalled,  one  is 
kindly  remembered  by  the  old  boys. 

I  regret  that  previous  engagements  will 
not  permit  me  to  accept  your  invitation. 
Please  remember  me  to  all  the  old  students 
and  assure  them  that  Alma  Mater  keeps 
the  candle  burning  in  the  window  and  the 
latch  string  hanging  out  for  all  her  absent 
sons  and  daughters.  Yours  sincerely, 
B.  M.  Thompson.

ni Association  be  organized  and  a  motion

OBITUARIES 


CHARLES  TOWNE  ALEXANDER 

Charles  Towne  Alexander  had  lived  near- 
ly all  of  his  life  in  Detroit  where  he  was 
born  41  years  ago.  He  was  graduated  from 
the  Literary  Department  of  the  University 
in  1890,  and  attended  the  Law  Department 
the  following  year.  From  that  time  he 
practiced  his  profession  in  Detroit  At 
the  time  of  his  death  he  was  a  member  of 
the  law  firm  of  Miller,  Smith,  Alexander 
&  Paddock.  He  died  March  5,  at  his  res- 
idence, 202  McDougall  Ave.,  following  an 
illness  of  pneumonia  which  had  lasted  but 
four  days.  He  is  survived  by  his  mother, 
Mrs.  George  W.  Alexander,  a  sister,  Miss 
Emily  Alexander,  and  a  brother,  Kirk  B. 
Alexander. 


JOHN  ELMORE  McKEIGHAN 

John  Elmore  McKeighan  was  born  near 
Farmington,  111.,  in  1841.  He  attended 
Knox  College  at  Galesburg,  and  in  1866 
was  graduated  from  the  University  of 
Michigan.  He  was  admitted  to  the  bar 
at  Ottawa,  111.,  in  1867.  In  1881  he  began 
practice  in  St.  Louis,  where  he  has  been 
a  promenent  member  of  the  bar,  and  where 
he  became  well-known  in  the  law  firm  of 
McKeighan,  Woods,  and  Watts.  He  was 
twice  married.  His  first  wife  was  Helen 
M.  Cutler,  of  Kalamazoo,  whom  he  mar- 
ried in  1869.  Two  children  of  this  union 
survive.  He  was  married  the  second  time 
in   1899  to  Mrs.   Ida  Hunt,   who  survives 


him.  He  died  March  21,  ijo8,  at  the  Johns 
Hopkins  Hospital  at  Baltimore,  following 
an  operation  for  stomach  trouble.  He  has 
been  president  of  the  St.  Louis  Alumni  As- 
sociation since  1895,  and  the  following  me- 
morial was  adopted  by  the  local  Alumni 
Association : 

The  undersigned  committee,  charged 
with  the  duty  of  preparing  an  expression 
of  the  sense  of  the  Alumni  Association  of 
the  University  of  Michigan,  in  view  of  the 
decease  of  the  late  John  E.  McKeighan,  '66, 
who  for  many  years  was  its  president  in 
St.  Louis,  respectfully  submit  the  follow- 
ing: 

The  members  of  the  St.  Louis  Alumni 
Association  of  the  University  of  Michi- 
gan, under  a  deep  sense  of  the  loss  which 
they  have  sustained  by  the  death  of  their 
brother,  John  E.  McKeighan,  '66,  have  as- 
sembled to  bear  witness  of  his  worth  and 
to  record  their  estimate  of  his  character. 

For  thirty-two  years  Mr.  McKeighan  was 
a  member  of  the  Bar  of  the  City  of  St. 
Louis  and  stood  among  its  acknowled8[ed 
leaders.  Eminent  in  a  profession  which 
holds  its  highest  honors  dear,  and  in  which 
neither  genius  nor  learning,  apart  from  the 
moral  qualities  which  inspire  confidence, 
can  command  real  or  lasting  distinction, 
his  professional  career  exemplified  in  a 
very  high  degree  the  true  relations  of  a 
lawyer,  both  to  the  community  and  to  the 
courts,  and  revealed  the  secret  of  his  most 
enduring  success.  Unfamiliar  with  the  arts 
frequently    invoked    for    self-advancement,

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[April 


diffident  and  unassuming  to  a  marked  de- 
gree, devoting  himself  exclusively  to  the 
civil  practice,  and  especially  the  study  of 
commercial  and  corporation  law,  he  stood 
for  more  than  twenty  years  as  one  of  the 
highest  in  counsel,  and  ablest  in  advocacy 
at  the  St  Louis  Bar.  The  bent  of  his 
mind  was  judicial,  and  in  every  case  pre- 
sented to  him  he  surveyed  with  care  the 
whole  field  of  controversy.  Endowed  with 
a  quick  perception  which  enabled  him  to 
penetrate  to  the  heart  of  a  question  with 
little  effort;  possessed  of  a  remarkable 
facility  of  expression,  often  a  sentence  or 
a  phrase  uttered  in  his  incisive  way  por- 
trayed the  whole  aspect  of  the  subject. 

In  the  Supreme  Courts,  State  and  Nat- 
iona,  where  questions  of  law  were  to  be 
considered,  where  logic  counts  for  more 
than  nicely  turned  sentences,  and  thorough 
knowledge  of  the  principle  of  law  are  more 
effective  than  eloquence,  Mr.  McKeighan 
was  most  happy  in  the  presentation  of  the 
cases.  The  perspicuity  of  his  state- 
ment, his  apt  illustrations,  his  perfect 
candor  in  dealing  with  every  phase  of  the 
case,  his  logical  reasoning  characterized  him 
as  a  great  advocate.  Not  only  so,  but  in 
the  nisi  prius  courts  his  ar^ments  to  juries 
were  forceful  and  effective.  His  quick, 
capacious,  analytical  mind  enabled  him  to 
marshal  the  facts  so  as  to  present  their 
strongest  probative  force  in  a  way  to  con- 
vince juries  of  the  righteousness  of  his 
cause.  Possessing  a  kindly  disposition  and 
love  for  humanity,  he  ever  treated  courts, 
lawyers  and  litigants  with  marked  courtesy ; 
yet  was  none  the  less  earnest  and  force- 
ful in  his  devotion  to  the  interests  of  his 
clients.  Indeed,  he  possessed  that  chival- 
rous character  which  prompted  him  to  ex- 
haust every  legitimate  resource  to  win  vic- 
tories for  those  whose  interests  were  en- 
trusted to  his  care. 

As  a  speaker  on  public  topics,  he  was 
most  attractive  and  entertaining.  His  mind 
was  well  stored  with  information,  endowed 
with  ready  wit,  and  the  gift  of  eloquence 
so  happily  combined  as  to  render  him  equal 
to  any  demand  made  upon  him.  Our  de- 
parted brother  possessed  a  charming  sim- 
plicity of  manner,  kindly  nature  and  gen- 
erous friendship,  which  impressed  them- 
selves upon  all  who  come  in  contact  with 
him  in  every  day  life. 

The  key-note  of  Mr.  McKeighan's  char- 
acter, the  secret  of  his  distinguished  suc- 
cess at  the  Bar,  was  his  purity  of  purpose 
and  his  manly  uprightness  of  life.  His 
clients  who  relied  upon  his  profound  knowl- 
edge of  the  law,  still  more  implicitly  relied 
upon  his  integrity  which  never  swerved  in 
advice  nor  in  action  from  the  path  of  recti- 
tude. 

Judges  to  whom  his  arguments  were  ad- 


dressed listened  without  fear  of  being  mis- 
led by  plausible  sophistries,  and  gla(fiy  ac- 
cepted from  him  that  assistance  which  it 
is  the  privilege  of  counsel  to  afford  to  the 
court.  However  much  his  opponents  feared 
the  vigor  of  his  attack  or  the  stubbornness 
of  his  defense,  they  never  dreaded  treadiery 
nor   unfair   surprise. 

The  interests  of  our  departed  brother 
were  not  confined  alone  to  his  duty  as  a 
lawyer.  He  possessed  a  refined  and  deli- 
cate taste,  and  was  a  passionate  lover  of 
nature  and  art;  he  was  also  strong  and 
active  in  sympathy  with  whatever  tended  to 
social  or  political  reform,  or  to  promote 
organized  charity,  or  to  advance  the  cause 
of  education.  His  death  will  prove  a  loss 
to  institutions  of  benevolence  and  charity. 

Mr.  McKeighan  was  a  firm  believer  in 
the  good.  His  sublime  faith  in  the  higher 
Christianity,  and  his  belief  in  an  overruling 
God,  robbed  death  of  its  sting  and  the 
grave  of  its  victory.  During  the  last  few 
years  of  his  life,  he  was  aftucted  wih  ail- 
ments which  he  bore  with  Christian  sub- 
mission, in  the  belief  that  he  was  supported 
by  the  overruling  good,  and  that  the  seem- 
ing ills  affecting  his  body  were  but  mortal 
error.  And  when  finally  his  physical  pow- 
ers yielded  to  the  inevitable,  death,  he 
looked  upon  it  only  as  passing  out  of  one 
room  into  another  where  good  and  only 
supreme  good  obtains. 

A  more  genial  friend,  a  more  devoted 
husband  and  father  we  have  never  known. 

To  the  members  of  his  family,  we  extend 
our  sincere  sympathies  and  condolence. 
Seneca  N.  Taylor,  /'6o-'6i,  Chairman.

BERTHA  ISADORE  ROSE(WAKEFIEID) 

Behtra  Isadore  Rose  (Wakefield)  was 
born  in  Ann  Arbor,  Nov.  11,  1874.  She 
received  her  early  education  in  the  public 
schools,  from  which  she  was  graduated  in 
1892,  spending  the  following  two  years, 
'q2  to  '94,  in  the  University.  She  was 
married  June  25,  1896,  to  the  Rev.  Cassius 
E.  Wakefield,  '95,  and  spent  the  first  years 
of  her  married  life  at  Morenci,  Mich., 
where  two  children  were  bom.  In  1901, 
owing  to  the  failing  of  Mrs.  Wakefield's 
health,  the  family  removed  to  Colorado, 
where  they  have  since  lived.  Mrs.  Wake- 
field died  at  her  home  in  Denver,  Colo.. 
March  15,  1908,  from  tuberculosis.  The 
interment  was  at  Morenci,  Mich.

he  began  the  study  of  medicine  in  1869 
with  his  father.  A  year  later  he  entered 
the  Medical  Department  of  the  University 
from  which  he  was  graduated  in  1873.  He 
then  spent  some  time  in  study  abroad  tak- 
ing up  practice  upon  his  return  at  Bliss- 
field,  Mich.,  his  father's  home»  where  he 
founded  a  preparatory  school  of  medicine. 
In  1879  he  removed  to  Detroit,  where  he 
has  since  remained,  and  where  he  founded 
the  Michigan  College  of  Medicine  and  Sur- 


gery, of  which  he  was  long  President  and 
Professor  of  Surgery.  He  was  a  member 
of  a  large  number  of  medical  societies  and 
a  number  of  Detroit  dubs,  as  well  as  an 
honorary  member  of  the  Medical  Societies 
of  Rome,  Paris,  and  Havana.  The  imme- 
diate cause  of  his  death,  which  occurred 
March  9,  was  pneumonia  following  the 
severe  exposure  in  attending  to  some  of 
his  patients.  He  is  survived  by  a  widow, 
a  brother  and  a  sister.

ATHENIAN  LEKYTHOI 

The  tall  slender  jugs,  called  by  the 
Greeks  lekythoi,  which  are  so  often  found 
in  deposits  of  Attic  vases,  though  objects 
of  occasional  study,  have  not,  as  a  whole, 
received  the  attention  which  their  varied 
artistic  and  antiquarian  interest  would  war- 
rant. Though  individually  of  less  rela- 
tive value  than  the  cylixes,  hydriae  and 
other  larger  varieties,  there  is  no  form  that 
offers  in  its  decoration  so  many  illustra- 
tions of  the  domestic  life  of  the  Athenians, 
or  shows  so  many  experiments  in  tech- 
nique, and  so  persistent  an  effort  to  imi- 
tate the  effects  of  contemporary  painting. 
As  household  containers  of  perfume  or 
oil,  they  were  often  adorned  with  pic- 
tures of  the  women,  children  and  slaves 
engafi^ed  in  their  everyday  occupations  and 
amusements;  when  they  came  more  and 
more  to  serve  exclusively  as  offerings  for 
the  dead  rather  than  for  daily  use,  bril- 
liant technical  effects  were  not  unnaturally 
preferred  to  the  modest  durability  of  the 
earlier  decoration. 

Although  these  vases  are  interrelated 
through  their  technical  history  and  the  char- 
acter of  the  representations,  it  has  not 
yet  been  feasible  to  treat  them  systemati- 
cally and  completely  as  a  whole.  The 
most  important,  those  with  white  ground, 
though  discussed  in  several  earlier  mono- 
graphs and  articles,  had  been  somewhat 
neglected  in  recent  years  until  1907.  In  the 
early  part  of  that  year  appeared  Mr.  Mc- 
Mahon's  article  in  the  American  Journal 
of  Archaeology,  in  which,  along  with  a 
general  classification,  the  groups  with  de- 
signs in  glazed  outlines  and  in  dull  colors 
were  more  fully  described.  At  the  end 
of  the  year  was  published  the  volume  of 
Professor  Fairbanks,  which  lies  before  us. 

In  this  work  Professor  Fairbanks  hat  dis- 
cussed very  carefully  and  fully  the  white 
ground  lekythoi,  which  have  outline  draw- 
ing in  glaze  varnish.     Absolute  complete- 


ness is  not  aimed  at,  but  the  list  of  some 
445  examples,  which  are  described,  may  be 
regarded  as  sufficient  for  ordinary  pur- 
poses. The  lekythoi  with  dull  colors  are 
reserved  for  a  future  occasion. 

In  the  Introduction  the  author  discusses 
briefly,  and  rejects  for  adequate  reasons 
the  classification  of  Messrs.  Dumont  and 
Pottier,  who  proposed  the  term  'Locrian' 
for  lelqrthoi  ornamented  with  mythical  or 
domestic  scenes  in  black  silhouette  or  black 
outline  on  yellowish  slip,  and  suggests  that 
the  white  lekythoi  with  outline  drawing;  be 
divided  into  two  classes,  one  with  the  Imes 
of  the  drawing  in  glaze  varnish,  the  other 
in  dull  colors.  This  division  was  also  made 
by  Mr.  McMahon,  in  the  article  above  men- 
tioned. It  should  be  said  that  Mr.  Fair- 
banks and  Mr.  McMahon  worked  inde- 
pendently of  each  other.  The  fact  that  they 
agree  substantially  in  this  and  in  other  mat- 
ters is  not  without  importance. 

The  author  gives  next  an  outline  of  the 
early  history  of  the  light  colored  slip,  and 
of  the  outline  technique  in  early  times, 
tracing  the  former  back  to  the  Mycenaean 
period,  and  the  latter  to  the  Orientalizing 
Melian  amphorae.  The  use  of  the  slip 
on  some  of  the  geometric  wares  (e,  g. 
Thera,  Crete),  of  outline  for  the  faces  of 
figures  on  the  warrior  vase,  of  slip  and 
of  outline  for  faces  on  the  Aristonothos 
vase,  of  outline  on  some  vase  fragments 
from  Clazomenae  (Zahn.  A  then.  Mittheil. 
xxiii,  pp.  38ff.)  might  also  have  been  men- 
tioned. Professor  Fairbanks  speaks  some- 
what reservedly  of  the  attribution  to  Nik- 
osthenes  of  the  first  us«  of  a  white  slip 
on  Attic  vases,  whether  under  the  influ- 
ence of  Naukratis  or  of  Attic  painted 
stelae  and  plaques.  It  may  not  be  amiss 
to  call  to  mmd  the  fragments  of  the  Proto- 
Attic  amphora  from  across  the  Ilissos,  with 
outline  drawing  on  thin  light  yellow  slip 
(Cecil  Smith,  J.  H,  S.  xxii,  pp.  9^  ff.j).

[April 


to  the  detailed  classification  and  descrip- 
tion of  the  vases.  Pour  Groups  are  dis- 
tinguished. These  are  then  subdivided  into 
classes,  which  are  numbered  continuously 
from  I  to  VII I.  The  arrangement  is  part- 
ly chronological,  particularly  as  regards 
the  first  three  Groups,  partly  according  to 
development  and  partly  by  types. 

The  first  Group  (A),  lekvthoi  with  out- 
lines in  fine  relief  lines  of  black  glaze,  in- 
cludes the  first  three  classes,  i.  e,  such  as 
have  flesh  done  in  silhouette  and  accessor- 
ies in  outline  (I),  those  which  use  sil- 
houette only  for  apcessories  (II),  smaller 
vases  with  drawing  in  black  relief  lines, 
but  distinguished  from  the  first  two  classes 
by  having  the  neck  red,  and  by  differences 
in  shape  and  ornamentation  (III).  These 
vases  are  shown  by  their  style,  technique, 
designs  and  provenance  to  be  contemporary 
with  the  severe  red  figured  vases,  the  tech- 
nical methods  of  which  they  follow,  though 
dependent  on  the  black  figured  vases  for 
much  of  their  decorative  material. 

The  second  Group  (B=Class  IV),  leky- 
thoi  whidi  make  use  of  enamel-white  for 
women's  flesh  or  for  some  accessory,  is 
arranged  in  three  series  according  as  the 
shoulder  is  treated  after  the  black  or  red 
figured  manner,  or  in  black  figure  on  white 
ground.  It  shows,  according  to  the  author, 
an  increasjc  in  the  number  of  domestic 
scenes  and  greater  freedom  from  the  in- 
fluence of  the  black  and  red  figured  styles. 

The  third  Group  (C)  is  characterized  by 
greater  whiteness  in  the  slip,  and  the  use 
of  thin  glaze.  The  drawing  is  entirely  in 
glaze  (Class  V),  or  partly  in  glaze  and 
partly  in  dull  color  (Class  VI).  Domes- 
tic and  grave  scenes  are  more  frequent,  the 
use  of  colors  is  gaining  ground. 

The  fourth  Group  (D)  consists  of  small 
lekythoi  with  red  neck  and  shoulder  and 
drawing  in  thin  glaze  or  dull  color,  and  is 
divided  into  two  classes,  in  one  of  which 
(VII)  the  drawing  is  all  in  thin  yellow 
glaze,  in  the  other  (VIII),  dull  color  is 
used  along  with  the  glaze  or  instead  of  the 
glaze.  This  Group  is  parallel  to  Group  C, 
with  which  it  is  approximately  contempor- 
aneous. 

This  classification,  though  clear  and  sim- 
ple, has  the  merit  of  satisfying  historical 
conditions,  while  providing  for  the  con- 
venient arrangement  of  an  extensive  and 
intricate  mass  of  material.  The  study  of 
the  numerous  special  and  minor  varieties 
is  facilitated  by  appropriate  subdivisions. 
That  there  should  be  occasional  difficulties 
is  inevitable,  and  is  frankly  recognized  by 
the  author.  One  of  these  difficulties  is 
the  constantly  shifting  value  of  criteria. 
Thus  a  silhouette  animal  with  incised  ii>- 
ner  markings  means  less  in  Class  III  than 
it  does  in  Class  II,  where  such  accessor- 
ies in  black  serve  to  distinguish  that  Class 


from  Class  I,  which,  by  the  way,  does  not 
seem  to  be  provided  for  in  Mr.  McMahon's 
scheme.  The  lack  of  enamel  white  or  of 
whiteness  of  slip  may  not  prevent  the  in- 
clusion of  a  vase  in  Group  B  or  Group  C, 
if  other  considerations  seem  to  warrant 
Very  many  of  the  smaller  vases  are  more 
conservative  than  the  larger  ones,  partic- 
ularly with  respect  to  ornament  and  shape, 
and  require  separate  classification.  On  Uie 
other  hand  Mr.  McMahon's  terse  and  help- 
ful remark  that  'the  size  of  a  vase  deter- 
mines its  ornament'  is  subject  to  many  ex- 
ceptions. The  numerous  questions  to  which 
the  complicated  interrelations  of  the  var- 
ious styles  and  techniques  give  rise, 'are  dis- 
cussed by  the  author  fully  and  carefully. 

The  concluding  chapter  contains  an  ac- 
count of  the  scenes  represented  on  leky- 
thoi. Indices  of  published  lekythoi,  of  leky- 
thoi by  museums  and  of  names,  objects,  etc, 
complete  the  text. 

Lest  it  seem  from  what  has  been  said 
that  this  work  is  merely  a  thorough  and 
systematic  description  of  an  important  ser- 
ies of  vases,  it  should  be  added  that  the 
author  has  taken  pains  in  his  treatment  of 
the  separate  vases  and  classes  of  vases  to 
point  out  any  affinities  which  might  exist 
m  other  wares,  or  in  other  forms  of  art, 
and  to  give  the  series,  as  a  whole,  its  prop- 
er historical  setting.  It  might  perhaps  be 
questioned,  however,  whether  the  impor- 
tance of  the  lekythoi  as  survivals  of  early 
outline  painting  has  been  sufficiently  em- 
phasized To  say  that  they  are  a  variation 
of  the  red  figured  technique,  caused  by  the 
use  of  outline  drawing  on  white  for  tablet 
and  mural  painting,  implies  no  influence  of 
the  latter  beyond  the  whiteness  of  the 
ground.  No  doubt  the  scenes  on  the  white 
lekythoi  are  but  potters'  handicraft,  but 
that  they  might  reflect  originals  in  paint- 
ing has  been  indicated  by  the  author  in  a 
couple  of  instances  (pp.  139,  266),  and  that 
they  give  at  least  some  idea  of  the  effect 
of  early  white  ground  painting  is  evident 
from  the  imitations  from  the  Roman  house 
in  the  gardens  of  the  Famesina  (Man. 
Anmli,  1884,  pp.  307  ff.,  1885,  pp.  302  ff.).

HENDERSON 


The  name  ''  Henderson ""  on  a  piano  marks  it  as  the 
most  economical  instrument  on  the  market.  It  stands 
for  superior  musical  qualities,  greater  resonance  of 
tone  and  elasticity  of  action.  It  stands  for  a  structural 
strenfifth  and  care  in  construction  that  gfuarantee  long 
life  and  perfect  service.  It  stands  for  highest  quality, 
but  it  stands  also  for  a  lower  price  than  is  attached  to 
any  other  piano  of  equal  merit. 

Charlotte  liaconda  speaks  of  The  Henderson  as 
''wonderfully  sympathetic  for  accompanying  the 
voice/'  and  that  phrase  well  describes  the  beauty  of 
its  tone  quality.

"  Dmiag  my  last  vemr  at  the  UnlTcrtity  of  Michl-

aad  wrote  many  applications  for  positions  as 
aatlces  of  Tacancies  came.  I  finally  secured  a 
positiottf  bat  not  by  reason  of  aaaistance  from  any 
of  them.  Being  stul  anxious  for  advancement,  but 
aow  somewhat  skeptical  as  to  the  helpfulness  of 
afencies,  I  was  induced  by  a  friend  to  try  Miss 
Anrston's.  In  a  short  time  I  was  elected  to  a  posi- 
tion at  a  larger  salary  than  I  had  ever  before  drawn 
ia  teaching  profession.

for  you  to  write  at  once.  To  expedite  matters  and  avoid  being  disappointed,  when  you 
write  please  state  whether  you  wish  a  cloth  set,  half-morocco,  three-quarter  levant,  or  full

Teachers  Wanted  '"HAhoou 


ME  are  already  beginning  to  receive  inquiries  for  teachers  for  next  year. 
Last  year  we  had  over  four  times  as  many  calls  as  we  had  candidates 
for  good  positions  as  teachers  of  Shorthand.  These  positions  offered 
salaries  ranging  all  the  way  from  $75.00  to  $125.00  or  more  per  month.  The 
present  outlook  is  that  the  demand  will  be  still  greater  this  year. 

We  have  also  to  fill  several  places  in  large  Normal  Schools  where  University 
men  are  wanted  to  give  a  Teachers'  Training  Course  in  Shorthand.    These  places 
are  especially  desirable.    Our  Shorthand  Training  Course  fits  one  to  do  such  work. 
We  have  a 

Special  Proposition  to  Senior  Lits 

who  expect  to  teach  as  well  as  for  those  who  have  graduated  and  are  already 
teachinc;. 

Call  at  the  School  of  Shorthand  or  write  us  for  full  particularB  in  regard  to 
this  special  offer.

secretaries  of  twenty  classes  in  diflFer- 
ent  departments  are  already  at  work 
and  the  reports  indicate  great  enthus- 
iasm and  interest  which  promise  a 
record  breaking  attendance.  The 
three  earliest  classes  to  meet  will  be 
'48,  'S3,  and  '58;  the  last  holding 
special  exercises  in  honor  of  its  semi- 
centennial reunion.  These  will  include 
the  presentation  of  the  tablet  and 
rock  under  Tappan  Oak  to  the  Uni- 
rersity.  C  The  general  program  of 
Commencement  Week  will  remain  as 
heretofore.  On  Sunday  night,  June 
14,  Dr.  Angell  will  deliver  the  Bac- 
calaureate discourse;  Monday  even- 
ing the  Senior  Promenade  takes  place ; 
Tuesday  evening  the  Senior  Recep- 
tion, while  Wednesday,  June  17,  is 
Alumni  Day.  The  Alumni  Room  in 
University  Hall  will  be  open  to  all 
alumni  for  registratpon  and  badges 
will  be  given  members  of  all  the 
classes.  The  Alumni  Association  and 
the  Association  of  Collegiate  Alumnae 
will  also  keep  open  house  with  refresh- 
ments in  Barbour  Gymnasium.  At  2 
P.  M.  will  occur  the  annual  alumni 
mass  meeting  at  Room  C.  in  the  Law 
Building,  which  will  probably  be  fol- 
lowed by  the  dedication  of  the  comer 
stone  of  the  new  Memorial  Building. 
In  the  evening  will  be  held  the  Senate 
Reception  in  the  Waterman  G3mmas- 


itmi.  The  various  classes  will  also 
hold  receptions,  dinners,  etc.,  on  this 
day,  and  a  room,  as  given  below,  will 
be  assigned  to  each  of  the  classes  meet- 
ing on  that  day.  Thursday  morning 
at  ten  o'clock  will  occur  the  64th  an- 
nual Commencement  exercises,  fol- 
lowed by  the  Commencement  dinner 
in  Waterman  Gymnasium,  for  which 
tickets  must  be  procured.  C  A  list 
of  the  classes  to  meet  follows,  to- 
gether with  the  room  assigned  as  a 
special  meeting  place  and  the  class

The  recent  announce- 
S«5?t?SJ  «iMt.  «ient  of  President 
S5?ll?DEr''  Pritchett  that  the  ben- 
efits  of  the  Carnegie 
pension  fund  are  to  be  extended  to 
professors  in  state  universities  was  re- 
sponsible for  a  subdued  but  neverthe- 
less perceptible  expression  of  pleasure 
about  the  campus.  The  general  salu- 
tation became,  How  many  more  years 
have  you  ?  and  many  were  the  resulting 
mathematical  feats.  C  Save  perhaps 
the  original  bequest  of  Mr.  Carnegie 
with  its  exclusion  of  state  universities, 
no  event  of  recent  years  is  likely  to 
exert  as  deep  an  influence  upon  the 
state  university  world.  The  tradi- 
tional slimness  of  the  university  pro- 
fessor's stipend  is  now  relieved  appre- 
ciably and  his  cares  for  the  future  will 
be  lightened,  with  a  corresponding 
greater  freedom  to  work,  and  to  en- 
joy the  living  present.  Practically,  in 
the  actual  life  of  the  university,  this 
lessening  of  a  great  burden  is  sure 
to  be  evidenced  by  greater  effective- 


ness in  the  work  of  the  individual  pro- 
fessor. In  plain  terms,  the  less  a  pro- 
fessor has  to  worry  about  the  better 
teacher  he  is.  C  But  to  state  univer- 
sities there  is  another  relief  which 
comes  none  too  soon :  in  the  equaliza- 
tion of  all  the  imiversities  of  this  coun- 
try in  the  enjoyment  of  Carnegie's  be- 
quest. Had  this  endowment  remained 
a  prerogative  of  the  great  private  in- 
stitutions solely,  they  would  have  be- 
fore long  enjoyed  a  decided  and  in- 
vidious advantage  over  state  univer- 
sities, through  their  ability  to  offer  a 
salary  equal  or  superior,  in  the  ma- 
jority of  cases,  and  at  the  same  time 
hold  forth  the  tempting  prospect  of 
a  comparatively  early  retirement  upon 
a  generous  pension.  In  the  course  of 
time  the  result  would  have  been 
certain.  The  better  man  would  in- 
evitably have  g^vitated  toward  the 
institutions  fortified  with  Camepe 
generosity.  One  of  the  great  advan- 
tages offered  by  thus  pensioning  col- 
lege professors  after  twenty-five  years 
of  service,  lies  precisely  in  the  oppor- 
tunity given  through  a  period  of  years, 
often  the  best  of  a  man's  life,  for  pri- 
vate research.  This  will  in  its  turn 
bring  credit  to  the  University,  and  in 
time  should  become  one  of  the  most 
marked  results  of  the  Carnegie  foun- 
dation. But,  after  all,  the  greatest 
and  most  obvious  result  will  be  the 
relief  offered  uniformly  to  the  average 
college  professor  from  the  perplexing 
problems  involved  in  harmonizing  a 
fairly  comfortable  existence  in  the 
University  with  provision  for  the  fu- 
ture.

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[May 


politely  as  we  could,  but  our  harshness 
apparently  grieved  some  of  our 
friends.  At  any  rate,  they  requested 
that  we  discontinue  sending  The 
Alumnus.  That  of  course  grieved 
us,  but  it  was  the  only  way  open. 
The  ruling,  which  is  a  part  of  order 
number  907  of  the  Postmaster  Gen- 
eral, effective  Jan.  i,  1908,  provides 
that  the  postal  laws  and  regulations 
be  amended  as  indicated  below : 

In  section  306  the  postal  laws  and  regu- 
lations are  amended  to  read  as  follows: 
"A  reasonable  time  will  be  allowed  pub- 
lishers to  secure  renewals  of  subscriptions, 
but  unless  subscriptions  are  expressly  re- 
newed after  the  terms  for  which  they  are 
paid — ^within  four  months — thty  shall  not 
be  counted  in  the  legitimate  list  of  sub- 
scribers and  copies  mailed  on  account  there- 
for shall  not  be  accepted  on  the  second- 
class  postage  rate  of  one  cent  per  pound." 

C  While  our  subscription  list  was  in 
a  fairly  healthy  condition,  we  still 
found  that  we  had  a  few  hundred 
subscribers  who  were  two  or  more 
years  in  arrears.  To  these  we  wrote 
a  series  of  letters,  notifying  them  of 
their  delinquency  and  included  a  copy 
of  the  new  regulations.  There  were 
many,  however,  who  paid  no  atten- 
tion to  our  notice  and  these  we  drew 
upon.  This  measure  proved  effective 
in  a  large  percentage  of  the  remain- 
ing cases,  but  there  still  remained 
some  who  have  refused  to  honor  our 
draft  and  have  paid  no  attention  to 
our  letters;  these  we  are  forced  to 
take  off  our  subscription  list  with  this 
number.  The  letters  received  in  re- 
sponse to  this  effort  have  been  very 
interesting.  Many  subscribers,  one 
may  say  the  majority, — have  thanked 
us  for  our  leniency  in  continuing  them 
upon  our  list.  Occasionally  however, 
we  have  heard  from  one  who  objects 
to  our  continuing  him  as  a  subscriber 
without  express  orders  to  that  effect, 
after  the  subscription  has  expired.  To 
such  an  individual  we  have  no  ade- 
quate reply.  We  can  only  say  that 
we  had  supposed  he  was  sufficiently 
interested  in  the  University  and  her 


affairs  to  keep  up  his  membership  and 
on  that  supposition  we  had  continued 
The  Alumnus.  If  he  is  not,  there 
is  little  for  us  to  say  in  defence,  ex- 
cept that  we  had  rather  expected  all 
Michigan  men  to  feel  as  we  know 
most  of  them  do.  We  have  no  inten- 
tion of  instituting  a  "hold-up,"  as 
one  irate  subscriber  charged,  however, 
and  if  any  alumnus  refuses  to  recog- 
nize this  obligation  we  are  glad  to 
withdraw  his  name  from  the  rdl,  with 
nothing  more  said,  save  that  we  hope 
that  some  other  means  may  be  found 
to  keep  alive  his  interest  in  his  Alma 
Mater.  C  To  balance  the  num- 
ber of  discontinuances  thus  necessi- 
tated however  we  have,  by  special  ef- 
fort through  the  vacation  work  of 
student  solicitors,  added  one  hundred 
and  fifty  new  subscribers.  These  with 
the  new  names  which  will  be  added 
from  this  year's  senior  class  will  bring 
the  circulation  to  The  Alumnus  weU 
over  the  seven  thousand  mark  and 
will  make  it  one  of  the  largest,  if  not 
the  largest,  college  monthly  publica- 
tion in  the  country,  a  record  of  which 
we  feel  any  good  Michigan  man  may 
be  proud.

the  professional  man, 
although  it  is  only  recently  that  it 
has  been  recognized.  Time  was — ^and 
that  not  long  ago— when  English,  as 
a  definite  study,  was  overlocSced  en- 
tirely, or  at  best  wofuUy  under-esti- 
mated, to  the  advantage  of  other  stud- 
ies of  less  practical  importance.  It 
is  precisely  this  point,  the  practical 
value  of  English  to  the  professional 
man,  as  represented  by  the  engineer, 
that  forms  the  basis  of  an  article  by 
H.  P.  Breitenbach  of  the  Engineer- 
ing Faculty  of  the  University,  which 
appears  in  the  March  number  of  "The 
Engineering  Digest."  One  engineer 
quoted  in  the  article  regards  it  "more

important,  even,  that  the  engineering 
student  should  be  proficient  in  the 
writing  of  English  than  the  collegian. 
The  ability  to  express  himself  clearly 
and  accurately  may  be  said  to  be  a 
tool  of  his  trade,  for  he  has  to  write 
reports  and  prepare  specifications,  the 
very  soul  of  which  is  accuracy."  As 
expressed  in  a  quotation  from  another 
engineer,  "The  big  work  of  the  en- 
gineer is  done  with  the  typewriter 
rather  than  with  the  slide-rule  or  T- 
square."  The  cultural  value  of  Eng- 
lish, as  distinguished  from  the  techni- 
cal or  professional,  is  important,  for 
it  opens  up  avenues  of  approach  into 
the  literature  of  science,  history  and 
art,  not  only  increasing  the  general 
usefulness  of  the  engineer  and  his  in- 
dividual enjoyment,  but  proving  of 
practical  importance  to  him  as  a  busi- 
ness man  in  his  social  and  business 
relations.  C  The  testimonial  value 
of  the  preceding  phrases  is  empha- 
sized by  the  fact  that  they  are  mainly 
quotations  from  letters  received  by 
the  Engineering  Department  of  the 
University,  as  an  outcome  of  a  dis- 
cussion that  arose  in  an  English  class 
of  junior  engineers.  The  members 
of  this  class  wrote  to  alumni  of  the 
Department  on  various  questions  at 
issue,  and  among  these  was  the  value 
of  English  to  the  practicing  engineer. 
All  of  the  fifty  replies  received  agreed 
in  ascribing  to  English  a  high  value 
among  the  assets  of  an  engineer,  with 
its  chief  professional  applications, — 
in  addition  to  the  furthering  of  his 
command  of  speech — ^the  writing  of 
business  letters,  articles  for  the  press, 
reports,  contracts,  and  specifications. 
C  Among  the  comparatively  new  ap- 
plications of  English  in  the  special 
field  of  engineering  is  the  writing  of 
technical  catalogues,  pamphlets,  and 
other  advertising  matter,  and  the  edit- 
ing of  technical  journals.  The  latter 
field  may  be  called  a  product  of  the 
last  quarter  century  and  is  only  just 
now  offering  desirable  openings  for 
engineers. 


The  new  calendar  of 
THE  1907.1906     the      University     of 
CALENDAR      Michigan  appeared  in 
April.    While  not  dif- 
fering materially  in  external  appear- 
ance from  former  issues,  it  contains 
nearly  fifty  pages  more  than  hereto- 
fore, and  shows  a  substantial  increase 
in  the  number  of  students,  which  have 
now  reached  the  rather  unwieldy  total 
of  S,oio.     Comparisons  for  the  past 
three  years  are  as  follows:

The  total  attendance  at  the  last  sum- 
mer session,  however,  was  1,070  all 
told.  C  Of  the  total  number  in  at- 
tendance only  about  one-half  come 
from  the  State  of  Michigan,  2,674  to 
be  exact.  From  the  Eastern  states, 
including  New  York  and  Pennsyl- 
vania, come  591  students,  or  prac- 
tically 12  per  cent  of  the  total.  The 
increase  of  39  from  New  Yoric  in  1907 
and  31  in  1906  is  significant.  The

AN  OPPOR- 
TUNITY FOR 
TBACHBRS 


In  conjunction  with 
the  Royal  Govern- 
ment of  Prussia,  the 
Carnegie  foundation 
for  the  advancement  of  teaching  has 
undertaken  the  supervision  of  a 
scheme  for  an  exchange  of  teachers 
between  Prussia  and  America.  This 
plan  is  similar  to  one  already  in  oper- 
ation between  Prussia  on  the  one  side 
and  France  and  England  on  the  other 
and  follows  the  recommendation  of 
Dr.  Karl  Rheinhardt,  Geheimer  Ober- 
Regierungsrat  of  Prussia,  who  laid 
the  plan  before  the  Carnegie  founda- 
tion in  the  summer  of  1907  in  behalf 
of  the  Department  Ecclesiastical  Af- 
fairs, Instruction,  and  Medical  Affairs 
of  Prussia.  The  scheme  is  set  forth 
at  some  length  in  a  bulletin  recently 
issued  by  the  Carnegie  foundation, 
which  suggests  the  general  nature  and 
value  of  the  system  and  gives  details 
by  which  it  is  to  be  put  into  operation. 
C  Under  this  plan  teachers  will  be 
given  an  opportunity  to  spend  a  year 
in  Prussia  with  the  advantages  which 
official  connection  with  a  German 
school  can  offer  for  study  and  the 
learning  of  the  German  language. 
The  work  required  will  be  instruction 
in  English  by  conversational  method 
for  advanced  students  in  the  gymnasia 
and  reaigymnasia.  It  is  not  required 
that  the  candidate  be  a  teacher 
of  language  in  this  country,  but  he 
should  be  a  cultured  man,  able  to  con- 
duct such  exercises  in  an  interesting 
manner;  he  must  also  be  a  graduate 
of  a  University  and  have  taught  some 
subject  for  at  least  one  year.  At  the 
present  time  women  are  not  eligible 
for  appointment.    The  Carnegie  foun- 


dation urges  American  schools  to  offer 
similar  advantages  to  German  stu- 
dents. In  either  case  the  remuneration 
will  be  slight.  The  American  who 
goes  to  Prussia  would  receive  $25  to 
$27.50  a  month,  equivalent  to  from 
$40  to  $45  in  a  small  town  in  the 
United  States.  This,  it  is  estimated, 
will  meet  the  actual  living  expenses 
of  the  teacher  during  the  year,  al- 
though the  remuneration  is  to  be  con- 
sidered a  secondary  consideration.  The 
exchange  is,  in  effect,  a  traveling  fel- 
lowship, bringing  the  American  teach- 
er into  intimate  acquaintance  with  the 
school  system  of  Germany  in  all  its 
working  details  and  furnishing  him 
with  an  unrivalled  opportunity  to  ob- 
serve German  ideals  in  teaching  and 
German  methods  of  practice,  a  privi- 
lege rarely  granted  otherwise  except 
through  formal  application  to  the 
Royal  Minister  of  Instruction.  In  no 
case,  however,  are  teachers  to  take 
part  in  the  formal  instruction  of  the 
institution  which  they  visit  But  two 
hours  work  a  day  is  required,  leaving 
the  rest  of  the  time  free  for  study. 
All  communications  should  be  ad- 
dressed to  the  Carnegie  Institution  for 
the  Advancement  of  Teaching,  576 
Fifth  Ave.,  New  York.

During  the  spring  va- 

TBCTS^visiT  ^^*^^"  ^  number  of 
TO  CHICAGO  Students  from  the  De- 
partment of  Architec- 
ture made  a  tour  of  inspection  in  Chi- 
cago for  the  purpose  of  studying  some 
of  the  large  public  buildings  now  in 
course  of  construction  as  well  as  build- 
ings already  erected,  under  the  guid- 
ance of  the  builders.  The  party  visit- 
ed the  office  of  D.  H.  Bumham  &  Co., 
Architects,  where  Mr.  Bumham  and 
his  assistants  exhibited  the  very  beau- 
tiful series  of  drawings  illustrating  the 
proposed  development  of  Chicago's 
lake  front  and  park  system.  The  party 
was  also  conducted  over  the  great 
Montgomery  Ward  Co.  warehouse 
now  in  course  of  construction,  by  Mr. 
Richard  E.  Schmidt,  of  the  architec- 
tural firm  of  Schmidt,  Garden  &  Mar- 
tin, who  went  over  the  drawings  for 
the  building  and  discussed  it  with  the 
class  as  a  most  interesting  example  of 
reinforced  concrete  construction.  The 
party  was  also  taken  through  the 
splendidly  equipped  Michael  Reese 
Hospital  and  the  Chicago  Athletic 
Club.  The  earlier  ideal  type  of  ware- 
house construction  and  design  was 
studied  in  the  Marshall  Field  whole- 
sale warehouse  designed  by  H.  H. 
Richardson ;  the  Marshall  Field  repre- 
sentative also  showed  the  class  the 
modern  warehouse  designed  by  Bum- 
ham &  Co.,  and  the  great  department 
store,  where  the  organization  was  ex- 
plained as  well  as  the  problems  of  con- 
stmctional  and  mechanical  equipment. 
Similarly  several  other  office  build- 
ings, banks,  the  University  of  Chicago, 
and  the  Art  Institute,  were  visited. 
At  the  Winslow  Brothers  Iron  Works 
and  the  Northwestern  Terra  Cotta 
Co.  plant  the  entire  processes  were 
studied,  from  the  shop  drawings  to 
the  final  shipping  of  the  finished  pro- 
duct. The  class  was  also  fortunate  in 
finding  the  annual  architectural  ex- 
hibit at  the  Art  Institute.

EVENT  IN  BRIEF 

The  new  Dental  Building  of  the 
University  will  be  ready  for  occupancy 
upon  the  the  opening  of  the  Univer- 
sity in  the  fall.  Immediately  after 
the  close  of  the  present  session  the 
old  Dental  Building  will  be  torn  down 
to  make  room  for  the  new  Chemistry 
Building,  a  picture  of  which  was  giv- 
en in  the  last  number  of  The  Ai,um- 

NUS. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  Senior  Liter- 
ary class  of  the  University  held  April 
23,  it  was  decided  that  the  class  me- 
morial should  take  the  form  of  a  large 
clock  for  the  General  Library.  This 
will  be  placed  in  the  reading  room, 
high  on  the  wall  of  the  apse  and  op- 
posite the  delivery  desk.  In  addition 
to  this,  however,  a  fund  of  $300  was 
voted  to  the  Michigan  Union  which 
will  be  combined  with  an  appropria- 
tion from  the  other  senior  classes. 

Two  farces,  entitled,  "Michiguse" 
and  "Coedenda;"  were  given  April  8, 
by  the  junior  girls  of  the  University 
before  the  girls  of  the  senior  class,  in 
Barbour  gymnasium.  They  were  fol- 
lowed by  an  informal  dance.  Both  farces 
took  the  form  of  parodies  more  or 
less  close  of  "Michigenda,"  with  many 
special  features  and  songs  added.  The 
farces  were  written  by  Margaret  N. 
McLauchlan,  with  the  assistance  of 
Florence  E.  Baker,  Edith  B.  Leonard 
and  Louise  Van  Voorhis.. 

By  the  end  of  the  Summer  Session, 
the  new  telescope,  which  is  now  be- 
ing made  for  the  Department  of  As- 
tronomy of  the  University,  will  be 
placed  in  the  Observatory  under  a  new 
dome,  for  which  the  Regents  have  al- 
ready made  provision.  The  diame- 
ter of  the  dome  will  be  nearly  forty 
feet,  almost  twice  that  of  the  present 
one,  which  is  only  twenty-three  feet. 
A  large  part  of  the  telescope  is  being 
made  in  Ann  Arbor  by  Professor  Hus- 
sey  and  his  assistants. 


The  Department  of  Marine  ^igin- 
eering  of  the  University  was  invited 
in  a  body  to  Detroit  April  25  to  wit- 
ness the  launching  of  the  new  steam- 
er Livingston,  at  the  Great  Lakes  En- 
gineering Works.  The  invitation  was 
given  by  William  Livingston,  '70,  in 
behalf  of  his  son,  Seaboum  R.  Liv- 
ingston, '10^,  now  a  student  in  Ma- 
rine Engineering  in  the  University. 
About  50  students  availed  themselves 
of  the  opportunity. 

The  death-knell  of  the  Campus  bill- 
boards has  been  sotmded.  Following 
an  agitation  of  the  Student  Council, 
they  have  recently  been  removed  en- 
tirely and  as  a  further  step  toward 
beautifying  the  Campus,  the  portion 
of  the  old  boulevard  between  the  south 
side  of  the  Campus  and  S.  University 
Ave.  has  been  closed  up  and  seeded. 
This  has  already  been  done  on  the 
west  and  north  sides  of  the  Campus, 
where  grass  is  already  growing.  Plans 
are  already  under  way  for  the  removal 
of  a  number  of  the  unsightly  smaller 
buildings  which  now  disfigure  the 
the  Campus. 

At  the  second  annual  banquet  of 
the  women  of  the  University,  held 
Saturday,  April  4,  in  Barbour  Gym- 
nasium, covers  were  laid  for  430  per- 
sons. In  addition  to  the  women  of 
the  University,  alumnae  from  Chica- 
go, Detroit,  Toledo,  Saginaw,  and 
Grand  Rapids  were  present.  The 
banquet  was  preceded  by  a  reception, 
which  was  held  at  seven  o'clock,  with 
Mrs.  Cornelia  Steketee  Huelst,  Miss 
Katharine  Douglass,  Mrs.  John  O. 
Reed,  and  Mrs.  Myra  B.  Jordan  in 
the  receiving  line.  At  the  dinner  Mrs. 
Huelst  acted  as  toastmistress  and  call- 
ed on  the  following:  "Address,"  Pres- 
ident Angell;  "College  Ideals,"  Ruth 
M.  Anderson,  '10;  "Responsibilities 
of  the  College  Woman,"  Mary  L. 
Hinsdale,  A.M.  '90;  "College  Ideals 
—A  Retrospect,"  May  L.  Baker,  '08; 
"Reminiscences,"  Lucile  Bailey,  '04.

EVENT  IN  BRIEF 


343 


By  means  of  additional  shelving  in 
the  farther  Art  Gallery,  the  Library 
now  has  an  added  capacity  of  17,000 
volumes.  Six  rows  of  new  double- 
faced  stacks  are  in  place;  these  are 
of  standard  size  as  it  is  the  intention 
of  Mr.  Koch  to  increase  in  this  way 
the  capacity  of  the  Library  as  soon 
as  the  art  collections  are  moved  into 
the  new  Memorial  Biulding.  At  .pres- 
eht  the  Homoeopathic  medical  library 
and  the  reports  of  learned  societies 
have  been  removed  to  these  new 
stacks. 

In  addressing  the  students  of  the 
University  upon  the  Elizabethan  Col- 
lege Drama  April  22,  Professor  Felix 
Schelling  of  the  University  of  Penn- 
sylvania mentioned  the  fact  that  at 
one  play  the  students  went  so  far  as 
to  borrow  clothes  from  members  of 
the  Faculty  in  order  to  impersonate 
them  more  successfully.  He  was 
rather  surprised  at  a  general  smile 
which  ran  over  the  audience.  This 
was  explained  later  by  the  fact  that 
some  of  the  most  successful  imper- 
sonations in  "Michigenda"  were  due 
to  a  similar  proceeding  on  the  part  of 
present-day  students. 

Among  the  special  speakers  who 
appeared  before  University  audi- 
ences within  the  last  month  were: 
Professor  Brander  Matthews,  of  Co- 
lumbia University,  who  spoke  April 
6,  under  the  Students'  Lecture  Asso- 
ciation upon  "The  University  and  the 
Drama";  Professor  Felix  Schelling, 
of  the  University  of  Pennsylvania, 
who  took  for  the  subject  of  his  lec- 
ture given  Wednesday,  April  22, 
"The  Elizabethan  College  Drama." 
Professor  W.  S.  Williston,  of  Chicago 
University,  who  gave  an  address  be- 
fore Sigma  Xi,  April  24,  upon  "The 
Evolution  of  the  Elephant" ;  Professor 
Graham  Taylor,  of  the  University  of 
Chicago  and  the  Chicago  Commons, 
who  spoke  April  28  upon  "Public  Rec- 


reation," and  Hon.  D.  E.  McKinlay, 
Chairman  of  the  House  Commission 
on  Insular  AflFairs,  who  lectured  on  the 
"Panama  Canal,"  Wednesday,  April 
29.  Governor  John  S.  Johnson  g^ve 
the  last  lecture  before  the  Students' 
Lecture  Association,  April  30,  upon 
"The  Majesty  of  the  Law,"  and  on 
the  evening  of  May  7,  Charles  Moore 
of  Detroit,  secretary  of  the  Commis- 
sion for  the  beautifying  of  Washing- 
ton, spoke  under  the  auspices  of  the 
Michigan  Union  upon  the  planning  of 
cities,  with  special  reference  to  the 
city  of  Washington. 

In  accordance  with  a  request  made 
by  the  United  States  Geological  Sur- 
vey for  college  men  to  aid  in  the  ex- 
tensive survey  of  coal  lands  in  the 
West,  three  Michig^  men  were  rec- 
ommended by  the  Department  of  Geol- 
ogy. Their  success  was  proved  from 
the  following  letter  received  from  the 
Department  of  Interior:  "The  men 
you  recommended  did  better  work  and 
came  more  fully  up  to  our  expecta- 
tions than  the  men  from  any  other 
place.  You  have  placed  a  premium 
on  Michigan  men." 

At  the  annual  luncheon  of  the 
Daily  in  the  Union,  April  9,  it  was 
announced  by  Professor  Lloyd  of  the 
Board  of  Control  that  Archer  F. 
Ritchie,  '07,  '09/,  was  chosen  as  Man- 
aging Editor,  and  that  Chatmcey  S. 
Boudier,  '09,  was  chosen  as  news  ed- 
itor to  succeed  Hiram  S.  Cody,  '08. 
Mr.  Ritchie  has  already  held  the  man- 
aging editorship  since  the  opening  of 
the  second  semester,  When  he  succeed- 
ed Paul  S.  Mowrer.  Fobs  were  also 
presented  to  the  staff,  and  a  gold  bar 
to  Charles  E.  Winstead,  '07,  '09/,  who 
has  served  his  fourth  year  on  the 
paper.  The  profits  of  the  Daily  are 
now  devoted  to  the  pajmient  of  the 
old  indebtedness  of  Inlander  and  when, 
that  is  wiped  out  the  publication  of 
Inlander  will  probably  be  resumed.

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[May 


THE  THIRD  COUNTY  FAIR 

While  there  was  little  to  distinguish 
it  from  the  two  events  of  a  similar 
nature  which  preceded  it,  the  third  tri- 
ennial County  Fair,  which  was  held 
May  I  and  2  in  the  Gymnasiums,  must 
still  be  considered  a  great  success,  es- 
pecially from  the  financial  point  of 
view.  The  Union,  under  whose  aus- 
pices the  aflFair  was  given,  will  prob- 
ably net  $3,500  clear  as  the  result  of 
this  two  days'  carnival.  This  sum 
will  be  placed  to  the  credit  of  the 
Club  House  building  fund  and  will 
reduce  the  total  indebtedness  of  the 
Union  to  a  sum  in  the  neighborhood 
of  $10,000.  The  total  receipts  from 
the  Fair,  including  the  admissions  and 
receipts  from  the  various  booths, 
which  amounted  to  about  $4,300,  the 
sale  of  the  souvenir  posters,  and  sou- 
venir guides,  and  the  sale  of  the  Clar- 
ion, the  alleged  humorous  sheet,  which 
has  been  an  inevitable  accompaniment 
of  all  the  Fairs  held  so  far,  will  prob- 
ably amount  to  $5,000,  while  the  ex- 
penses have  been  estimated  at  $1,500, 
leaving  the  profit  as  above. 

On  both  evenings  the  crowds  were 
immense  and  taxed  to  the  utmost  the 
capacities  of  both  Waterman  and  Bar- 
bour G3minasiums,  as  well  as  Sarah 
Caswell  Angell  Hall,  where  the  vaude- 
ville was  held.  Confetti  covered  the 
floor  almost  inches  deep  and  if  the 
fun  became  too  boisterous  toward  the 
close  of  the  last  night,  it  was  perhaps 
an  inevitable  result  of  the  carnival 
spirit  permeating  a  cr6wd  of  such 
huge  proportions.  One  might  criti- 
cize the  Fair  as  a  whole  on  the  score 
of  a  general  lack  of  originality,  but 
such  a  criticism  comes  from  one  who 
has  seen  the  two  previous  Fairs  and 
who  realizes  the  difficulty  of  intro- 
ducing a  novelty  into  an  eflFort  which 
seems  to  have  become  so  thoroughly 
well  established.  We  are  not  inclined 
to  be  captious,  therefore,  though  we 
do  feel  that  in  some  of  the  booths 
there  was  a  lack  of  novelty  and  orig- 


inality which  one  would  hardly  ex- 
pect in  a  college  enterprise  of  this 
character. 

Some  clever  "stunts"  to  oflF-set  this 
criticism,  however,  will  occur  to  ev- 
eryone, although  some  of  the  best  were 
continuations  of  previous  Fairs,  such 
as  the  Radium  Dance,  and  the  Shoot 
the  Shutes,  which  won  first  and  sec- 
ond places  for  the  best  paying  ex- 
hibits, the  trophy  cup  going  to  the 
Phi  Delta  Theta  fraternity  for  the  Ra- 
dium Dance.  The  refreshment  par- 
lor of  the  Rocky  Mountain  Club,  re- 
producing a  typical  resort  of  the  far 
west,  won  first  place  in  point  of  re- 
ceipts, but  was  barred  because  the 
Rocky  Mountain  exhibit  in  the  parade 
also  won  the  cup.  Other  interesting  fea- 
tures were ;  the  little  vaudeville  enter- 
tainment given  in  diflFerent  languages 
together  with  the  Japanese  tea  booth, 
of  the  Cosmopolitan  Club,  an  elab- 
orate Philippine  exhibit,  by  the  An- 
oangpangalan  Club,  composed  of  stu- 
dents from  the  Philippines;  a  baby 
incubator,  a  reproduction  of  the  "Star 
Theatre,"  with  moving  pictures  of 
Michigan-Pennsylvania  game,  and  a 
Chinese  mystic  water  fountain,  in 
which  the  performer  juggled  spurts 
of  water. 

A  vaudeville  show  was  also  given 
in  ccmnection  with  the  rest  of  th!e 
fair,  oflFering  quartettes  from  the  Ban- 
jo and  Glee  Clubs,  black  face  songs 
and  dances,  a  ^rmnastic  exhibition, 
songs  by  Miss  Farlin,  and  a  sketch 
entitled  "Birds  of  a  Feather."  This 
entertainment  kept  Sarah  Caswell  An- 
gell Hall  filled  to  overflowing. 

The  great  parade,  which  took  place 
on  Friday  afternoon,  was  the  best 
which  has  yet  appeared.  Forty  fra- 
ternities and  clubs  took  part  and  many 
of  the  features  were  clever.  The 
Rocky  Mountain  Club,  which  won  the 
prize  for  the  best  exhibit,  included  a 
troop  of  typical  cowboys  who  per- 
formed various  feats  of  horsemanship, 
and  a  Rocky  Mountain  stage,  whidi 
was  attacked  by  a  band  of  "Michi-

stand  erected  in  front  of  University 
Hall.  A  band  of  Crusaders  in  ar- 
mor, the  Zeta  Psi  exhibit,  won  the 
second  place,  while  the  Forestry  Club, 
which  had  a  complete  exhibit,  includ- 
ing a  load  of  immense  logs  from  the 
northern  woods,  took  third  prize.  A 
float  of  "Merry  Widows,"  two  im- 
mense dragons,  a  camel,  a  float,  rep- 
resenting the  devil  presiding  over  the 
engineering  course  on  "S.  and  R." 
(strength  and  resistance  of  materials), 
a  horse  shoeing  scene  in  which  the 
Vulcans  spent  their  time  shoeing  a 
very  realistic  horse,  were  among  the 
other  clever  features. 

The  general  chairman  of  the  whole 
County  Fair  was  Charles  E.  Win- 
stead,  '07,  '09/.  The  chairmen  of  the 
various  side  committees  were  as  fol-

MINNA  VON  BARNHELM 

Coming  from  a  well-known  critic, 
the  following  words  of  praise  for  the 
presentation  of  Lessnig's  "Minna  von 
Bamhelm"  as  given  by  students  in 
German  in  the  University,  April  24, 
are  much  more  to  the  point  than  any- 
thing we  might  say.  The  general  in- 
terest which  all  the  organizations  of 
the  University  have  shown  in  the  re- 
vival of  dramatic  classics  has  been 
watched  by  this  critic  with  great  in- 
terest. In  speaking  of  the  play  he 
said  that  the  representation  was 

.  .  .  careful  and  correct  in  almost  every 
essential  detail,  and  there  were  moments 
when  that  representation  was  marked  by 
genuine  brilliance.  Only  once — and  that  was 
toward  the  close  of  the  play  and  concerned 
the  handling  of  a  minor  role  briefly  pro- 
jected upon  the  scene— did  the  acting  fall 


below  a  respectable  level,  while  at  another 
time — in  the  episode  of  the  French  adven- 
turer's visit  to  Minna — it  disclosed  aston- 
ishing skill  and  relish,  rising  to  a  height 
that  professional  players  might  well  have 
envied. 

To  further  epitomize  the  occasion,  whidi 
was  important  and  significant  because  it 
marked  a  long  step  forward  in  the  pro- 
duction of  standard  drama  by  Amencan 
university  men  and  women,  it  may  be  said 
that  a  thing  worth  doing  has  been  well 
done. 


In  view  of  this  record  for  one  season — 
the  first  in  which  the  dramatic  work  has 
been  systematically  projected  and  carried 
on  with  strict  adherence  to  the  highest 
standard  in  the  matter  of  selecting  material, 
the  supporters  of  a  great  cause  look  for- 
ward confidently  to  a  time  when  such  a 
work  as  Goethe's  "Egmont"  will  be  pre- 
sented on  a  large  scsde  at  the  university. 
Possibly  this  may  be  accomplished  on  the 
campus,  with  the  picturesque  street  scenes, 
so  vivid  and  so  human  in  their  detail  and 
so  eloquent  in  their  utterance  of  democ- 
racy, enacted  by  huge  crowds  trained  in 
the  clamorous  and  fiery  argument  of  the 
Dutch  craftsmen  and  shopkeepers,  and  the 
sublime  closing  scenes  of  the  play,  rich  in 
spectacular  and  musical  incidentals,  per- 
formed with  a  spaciousness  and  splendor 
that  could  not  be  encompassed  within  the 
walls  of  a  theater. 

That  surely  would  be  a  representation 
that  would  draw  spectators  from  through- 
out the  middle  West  It  would  be  a  heroic 
achievement. 

After  seeing  the  performance  of  "Minna" 
on  the  evening  of  April  24  the  writer  is 
sure  that  there  is  nothing  in  the  domain  of 
standard  comedy— except  perhaps  the  brit- 
tle, artificial,  genteel  comedy  of  manners, 
that  the  students  could  not  give  creditably. 
The  demands  of  this  work  are  heavy.  Its 
dialogue  moves  in  long,  vigorous  speeches 
that  impose  a  severe  tax  not  only  upon  the 
memory  but  upon  the  powers  of  elocution 
as  well.  The  spirit  of  the  play  is  gracious, 
and  it  requires  suavity,  gravity  and  decis- 
ion in  the  exchange  of  dialogue  and  gusto 
in  the  definition  of  mood  and  character  for 
its  proper  interpretation. 

These  qualities  the  student  cast,  com- 
posed of  eight  men  and  three  women,  gave 
It 


The  significance  of  the  play  as  an  open- 
ing note  in  the  drama  of  German  unity 
which,  a  century  later,  was  to  be  perfected 
by  Prince  Bismarck,  is  a  point  familiar 
to  all  students  of  the  drama,  and  is  one

that  makes  "Minna"  especially  appropriate 
to  scholastic  revival.  It  is  a  play  that 
means  something  not  only  as  drama  and 
as  literature  but  as  history. 

The  cast  contained  two  students  of  the 
senior  class,  three  of  the  junior  and  six 
of  the  sophomore.  In  detail  it  was  as  fol- 
lows: 

Major  von  Telheim — Carl  B.  Grawn,  '09. 

Minna  von  Bamhelm — Elfrieda  Weitz,  '10. 

Graf  von  Bruchsall— Henry  W.  Church,  '08. 

Franziska— Grace  Baker,  '09. 

Just — Stephen  Hebeler. 

Paul  Werner— Ben  R.  Eggeman,  '09. 

Der  Wirt— Stoddard  S.  More,  '08. 

Eine  Dame  in  Trauer — Anna  McKay,  '09. 

Ein  Feldjaeger— Robert  Monroe,  '08. 

Ein  Bedienter— Ernst  F.  Lang,  '09^. 

Riccaut  de  la  Marlinicre — E.  W.  Bowen,  '10. 

To  indicate  the  quality  of  the  perform- 
ance special  reference  should  be  made  to 
the  womanly  charm  and  tenderness  of  Miss 
Weitz'  Minna,  delighting  the  eye  with  per- 
sonal beauty  and  captivating  the  heart  with 
sweetness  of  expression;  to  the  gay,  light, 
capricious,  alert  byplay  of  Miss  Baker's 
Franziska  (Minna's  petted,  petulant  yet  de- 
voted maid) ;  to  the  Quiet  earnestness  and 
poise  of  Mr.  Grawn's  Tellheim,  grave,  sol- 
dierly and  chivalrous,  and  never  faltering 
in  steadiness  and  precision  until  toward 
the  close  of  the  evening,  when  the  player 
manifestly  was  struggling  with  physical 
weariness;  to  the  wonderfully  deft  knack 
in  characterization  and  sly  pantomime 
which  Mr.  More  displayed  in  the  role  of 
the  landlord,  and  to  the  unobtrusive  yet 
sentinel-like  alertness  and  sturdiness  sus- 
tained by  Mr.  Hebeler  as  the  major's  sol- 
dier-servant and  Mr.  Eggeman  as  a  petty 
officer. 

The  acting  of  Mr.  Bowen  as  the  French 
adventurer,  in  the  richest  scene  of  the 
play — a  scene  Hogarthian  in  its  humor  and 
picturesqueness — surpassed  all  ordinary  am- 
ateur standards  and  revealed  a  man  with 
a  heavensent  gift  for  the  stage,  so  swift, 
so  opulent,  so  right  and  so  strong  was  the 
fund  of  gesture,  facial  play  and  inflection 
he  bestowed  upon  what  practically  is  a 
monologue  running  to  several  pages. 

Not  die  least  valuable  feature  of  the  re- 
vival was  this  course  of  lectures  which 
preceded  it  on  the  21st,  22d  and  23d  of 
April: 

"The  Historical  Background  of  Minna 
von  Barnhelm." — Professor  Tobias  Diek- 
hoff. 

"The  Dramatic  Technique  of  Minna  von 
Bamhelm."— Dr.  Carl  E.  Eggert 

"The  National  Import  of  Minna  von 
Bamhelm."— Professor  Max  Winkler. 

James  O'Donnbix  Bennett. 


A  LETTER  FROM  GUY  A.  MILLER,  *96 

The  following  letter  from  a  Michi- 
gan graduate  well  known  not  so  many 
years  back  as  an  athlete,  is  of  interest 
as  offering  another  view  on  the  moot- 
ed athletic  question.  While  we  are 
not  in  entire  agreement  with  all  he 
says,  we  are  glad  to  publish  it  as  evi- 
dence of  growing  interest  on  the  part 
of  the  alumni  in  the  larger  questions 
of  our  athletic  policy.  We  hope  it 
will  arouse  further  discussion. 

Detroit,  February  29,  1908. 
Editor  Alumnus: 

Dear  Sir:  You  will  remember  the  talk 
that  you  and  I  had  on  the  subject  of  ath- 
letics, the  morning  of  the  Pennsylvania 
game.  Since  then  I  have  followed  the  sit- 
uation with  some  degree  of  interest,  and 
the  other  day  I  was  moved  to  put  my 
ideas  in  part  on  paper  and  send  tiiem  to 
you  in  the  form  of  a  letter.  The  immediate 
cause  was  Mr.  LeRoy's  letter  in  a  recent 
Alumnus.  If  what  I  send  you  seems  to 
have  any  value  of  any  sort,  I  should  be 
glad  to  have  you  make  such  use  of  it  as 
you  see  fit. 

It  will  probably  be  conceded  that  a  stu- 
dent goes  to  the  University  for  instruction 
which  will  fit  him  to  do  something,  and 
which  should  therefore  include  provision 
for  both  mental  and  physical  training.  Of 
these  two  the  former  is  obviously  of  pri- 
mary importance,  and  so  much  of  the  lat- 
ter as  includes  intercollegiate  athletics,  be- 
cause of  the  relatively  small  number  of 
participants,  is  of  relatively  slight  worth, 
so  far  at  least  as  general  physical  improve- 
ment is  concerned. 

It  has  always  seemed  to  me,  from  the 
time  when  I  was  actively  interested  in  ath- 
letics, that  there  is  a  curious  inversion  of 
ideas  as  to  their  real  place  in  college  life 
and  as  to  the  real  benefit  to  the  students 
generally  which  should  come  from  ^cm. 
First  place  is  assigned  as  a  matter  of  course 
to  intercollegiate  contests;  the  conception 
of  sport  is  not  quite  accurate;  and  intra- 
collegiate  sports  are  little  regarded. 

Would  it  not  be  as  well,  from  every 
standpoint,  if  there  were  fifty  elevens  and 
nines,  and  a  couple  of  thousand  students, 
engaged  in  hearty  rivalry  inside  the  col- 
lege, with  intercollegiate  contests  limited 
to  one  or  two  a  year?  By  no  means  the 
least  of  Uie  advantages  of  such  a  condition 
would  be  the  elimination  of  most  of  the 
present  embarrassing  questions  as  to  eligi- 
bility, number  of  contests,  training  table, 
paid  coaches,  and  the  like.

A  LETTER 


347 


That  some  change  from  present  condi- 
tions is  needed  is  shown  by  the  promi- 
nence given  to  the  discussion  of  these  ques- 
tions, which  should  need  no  mention  even» 
among  gentlemen  engaged  in  sport  for 
snort's  sake.  The  veipr  fact  that  there  are 
disputes,  that  ill-feeling  does  exist,  and 
that  Michigan  is  now  occupying  a  regretta- 
ble and  undignified  position  among  the  col- 
leges, shows  that  there  is  something  fun- 
dunentelly  wrong.  That  wrong  lies  in  the 
failure  to  understand  that  amateur  sport 
is  sport  and  not  business,  and  some  of  the 
features  of  the  modem  college  athletic  sys- 
tems are  clear  expressions  of  it. 

First  of  these  is  the  need  for  the  ex- 
istence of  the  so-called  Conference,  with 
its  rules,  and  rules,  and  rules.  There  has 
never  yet  come  to  my  attention  any  in- 
stance where  an  existing  social  evil  has 
been  remedied  by  regulations  imposed  from 
without,  and  against  the  will  of  those  reg- 
ulated. 

Next  is  the  professional  coaching  sys- 
tem. It  is  conceded  to  be  wrong  to  hire 
players,  who  furnish  the  physical  strength 
and  the  skill  to  execute  plays.  Why  is  it 
right  to  hire  the  brains  to  plan  those  plays, 
and  to  direct  the  strategy  of  a  season?  It 
is  objected  that  without  the  coaches  the 
standard  of  play  would  be  lowered.  If 
excellence  of  play  is  the  end  in  view,  and 
if  that  end  alone  justifies  the  hiring  of  a 
coach,  then  it  equally  justifies  the  hiring 
of  the  players. 

Under  die  usual  training  table  system, 
the  players  pay  what  they  have  been  ac- 
customed to  pay,  and  the  athletic  associa- 
tion makes  up  the  difference.  A  profes- 
sional athlete  is  defined  as  one  who  uses 
his  athletic  skill  for  gain.  I  am  unable  to 
see  where  one  docs  not  gain  because  of 
his  athletic  skill  when  he  gets  at  the  train- 
ing table  board  worth  six  dollars,  and  pays 
four. 

Other  specific  instances  might  be  given 
as  showing  the  essentially  faulty  conception 
of  amateur  athletics  which  is  the  cause 
of  all  the  existing  troubles,  but  those  men- 
tioned are  sufficient.  It  is  said,  however, 
that  with  the  lowered  standard  of  perform- 
ance which  would  follow  the  abolition  of 
the  training  table  and  of  paid  coaching 
there  would  be  less  public  interest,  the  gate 
receipts  would  be  diminished,  and  "How 
would  you  keep  up  Ferry  Field?"  To  this 
there  are  several  answers  .  It  is  my  belief 
that  if  Ferry  Field  were  used  as  gener- 
ally as  the  Waterman  Gymnasium  is,  the 
Board  of  Regents  would  gladly  make  up 
any  deficiency  in  the  amount  needed  for 
its  reasonable  up-keep.  If,  under  a  changed 
condition,  it  should  prove  to  be  too  large 
for  the  use  that  might  be  made  of  it,  £e 
true  policy  would  be  to  use  only  so  much 


as  might  be  necessary.  To  ar^e  for  the 
continuance  of  a  system  faulty  in  principle 
merely  to  build  and  care  for  an  unneces- 
sarily expensive  plant,  is  foolish. 

As  already  indicated,  athletic  sports  in 
our  colleges  would  be  on  a  better  plane  if 
they  were  primarily  intra-coUegiate,  with 
a  few  inter-collegiate  contests  as  an  in- 
cident The  effect  of  their  athletic  train- 
ing upon  participants  in  college  games  at 
the  present  time  is  of  slight  importance  to 
any  but  themselves.  It  is  much  more  im- 
portant to  society  at  large  to  get  those  who 
do  not  now  compete  out  of  ue  stands  and 
off  the  bleachers  and  into  contests  of  their 
own.  We  do  not  need  a  few  over-develop- 
ed gladiators.  We  do  need  many  weU- 
developed  men. 

How  to  get  this  result  accomplished  is 
something  of  a  problem.  It  might  be  a 
reasonable  course  to  pursue  to  take  some 
means  of  removing  the  present  exaggerated 
importance  given  to  inter-collegiate  con- 
tests, since  Sie  present  undesirable  condi- 
tion of  things  is  largely  due  to  that  For 
instance,  it  would  perhaps  be  a  wise  move 
to  curtail  athletic  income,  abolish  the  sys- 
tem of  paid  coaching,  limit  out-of-town 
contests  to- those  institutions  which  can  be 
reached  for  a  Saturday  game  without  mak- 
ing it  necessary  for  players  to  miss  Fri- 
day recitations,  and  take  such  other  steps 
along  these  lines  as  might  be  expedient. 
These  remedies  would  be  of  some  aid,  but 
they  are  after  all  only  effective  by  way  of 
treatment  of  symptoms.  They  do  not  go 
to  the  foundation  of  things.  In  order  to 
do  that,  there  must  be  an  education  in  the 
spirit  of  fair  play. 

By  that  it  is  not  meant  that  visiting  teams 
are  not  well  treated  at  Michigan.  They 
are,  conspicuously  so.  But  that  is  not  all 
that  is  necessary.  There  has  been  for  years 
a  most  unsportsmanlike  feeling  all  over  the 
West,  which  has  resulted  in  a  carefully  de- 
vised effort  to  prevent  any  college  from 
cheating  any  other.  Each  institution  has 
spent  more  time  in  watching  the  others, 
to  prevent  them  from  doing  something  they 
ought  to  be  prevented  from  doing  by  the 
force  of  public  opinion  within  their  own 
limits,  than  in  educating  that  public  opin- 
ion within  its  own.  Yet  the  creation  in 
every  community  of  a  public  opinion  which 
will  insist  upon  athletic  decency  at  home 
in  order  not  to  be  unfair  toward  any  op- 
ponent, and  which  will  consider  that,  next 
to  being  dishonest  yourself,  the  most  un- 
sportsmanlike thing  is  to  suspect  another 
of  dishonesty,  is  the  remedy,  and  the  only 
remedy,  for  the  present  condition  of  things. 
And  when  the  time  comes  that  each  team 
will  be  jealously  kept  clean  by  its  own 
supporters  and  when  similar  honesty  in 
its  competitors  will  be  taken  for  granted.

athletics  will  be  upon  their  proper  basis. 

If  it  be  argued  that  the  following  of 
such  a  course  would  lead  to  the  taking  of 
unfair  advantages  by  some,  it  is  sufficient 
to  say  that  a  man  put  upon  honor  is  far 
more  likely  to  be  honest  than  is  one  who 
is  under  suspicion  and  knows  it.  Is  it  so 
bad  a  thing,  either,  to  have  some  one  take 
an  advantage?  Personally,  I  have  always 
preferred  to  let  the  other  fellow  be  unfair, 
if  he  wanted  to — ^but  I  have  at  times  de- 
clined to  meet  him  again. 

I  hope  you  will  pardon  the  poor  form  of 
this  communication,  and  accept  my  thanks 
for  the  courtesy  of  your  attention. 
Yours  very  truly,

A  NOTEWORTHY  MEDICAL  MEETING 

One  of  the  notable  events  of  the 
current  University  year  was  the  meet- 
ing of  the  American  Association  of 
Pathologists  and  Bacteriologists  which 
took  place  April  17th  and  i8th.  This 
association  numbers  the  best  known 
and  most  active  of  the  workers  en- 
gaged in  medical  research,  and  limits 
its  membership  to  those  who  are  ac- 
tively engaged,  or  have  made  an  es- 
pecial name,  in  investigations  along 
pathological  and  bacteriological  lines. 
About  seventy  members  were  present 
and  over  sixty  papers  were  presented, 
the  latter  embodying  much  new  and 
valuable  work.  Interesting  and  valu- 
able demonstrations  were  also  made, 
illustrating  new  discoveries  and  im- 
portant advances  in  medicine,  and  the 
meeting  was  unanimously  declared  to 
be  the  best  held  since  the  organization 
of  the  Society  in  1900. 

The  program  is  too  technical  to  be 
of  special  interest  here,  but  among  the 
names  appearing  upon  it  may  be  men- 
tioned :  Welch  of  Baltimore ;  Mallory, 
Christian  and  Gay  of  Harvard  ;Hek- 
toen,  LeCount,  and  Wells  of  Rush 
Medical  College,  Chicago;  Rosenan 
of  Washington ;  Beebe,  Hiss  and  Weil 
of  New  York ;  Loeb,  Bergey  of  Phil- 
adelphia; Ophiils  of  San  Francisco; 
Williams,  University  of  BuflFalo ;  Rav- 


enel  of  Wisconsin;  Dr.  Maud  Abbott 
of  McGill  University.  Of  the  local 
members  appearing  upon  the  program 
there  were:  Dr.  A.  S.  Warthin,  Pres- 
ident of  the  Association  for  this  year, 
Drs.  Novy,  Vaughan  and  Edmunds. 
Dr.  Lydia  DeWitt  presented  an  im- 
portant paper  upon  the  heart  by  spec- 
ial request,  and  an  experimental  paper 
by  Mr.  Dixon,  a  junior  medical  stu- 
dent, was  read  by  him  through  invi- 
tation. 

The  officers  elected  for  the  coming 
year  are:  Dr.  H.  C.  Ernst,  President, 
Professor  of  Bacteriology,  Harvard 
University;  Dr.  Phillip  Hiss,  Medical 
Department  of  the  Columbia  Univer- 
sity, Vice-President;  Dr.  F.  B.  Mal- 
lory, Associate  Professor  of  Patholo- 
gy, Harvard  University,  Secretary; 
Dr.  H.  U.  Williams  of  BuflFalo,  Treas- 
urer. Dr.  LeCount  of  Rush  Medical 
College  was  elected  new  member  of 
the  Council.  The  meeting  place  for 
next  year  is  to  be  Bostcm,  in  the  new 
Medical  Buildings  of  Harvard  Uni- 
versity. 

The  social  features  of  the  meeting 
were  especially  successful,  largely 
through  the  efficient  aid  of  the  Michi- 
gan Union.  The  annual  dinner,  at 
which  sixty  were  present,  was  held  on 
Friday  night,  April  17,  and  the  menu 
oflFered  and  served  was  spoken  of  by 
the  visiting  members  as  fully  equal  to 
that  of  any  of  the  previous  meetings 
which  had  been  held  in  the  larger 
cities  and  under  the  auspices  of  noted 
clubs  or  hotels.  Two  luncheons  were 
given  to  the  Association  by  the  Board 
of  Regents,  and  there  were  numerous 
private  dinners  given  to  the  visiting 
members.  A  smoker  was  also  held 
at  the  Nu  Sigma  Nu  House,  Friday 
evening  after  the  annual  dinner.  A 
resolution  thanking  the  Board  of  Re- 
gents and  the  local  members  for  their 
generous  hospitality  and  for  the  suc- 
cess of  the  meeting  was  unanimously 
passed.

REGENTS'  MEETING 


349 


THE   APRIL   MEETING   OF   THE 
REGENTS 

The  Board  of  Regents  met  April 
24,  with  all  the  members  present  save 
Regent  Sawyer. — ^The  resignation  of 
Dr.  John  W.  Bradshaw,  as  Registrar 
of  the  Department  of  Literature,  Sci- 
ence, and  the  Arts,  was  received  and 
accepted.  Arthur  G.  Hall,  Ph.D.,  a 
graduate  of  this  University  and  now 
Professor  of  Mathematics  in  Miami 
University,  was  elected  Professor  of 
Mathematics  and  Registrar  of  the  De- 
partment of  Literature,  Science,  and 
the  Arts  at  a  salary  of  $2,500  for  his 
entire  services.  It  is  understood  that 
he  is  to  teach  one  or  two  classes  in 
mathematics  and  is  to  edit  the  calen- 
dar and  the  announcements. — Profes- 
sor A.  S.  Whitney  presented  an  elab- 
orate report  to  the  Board,  setting  forth 
the  provisions  made  in  several  prom- 
inent universities  for  the  development 
of  the  department  of  Education  with 
the  view  to  the  training  of  teachers  in 
our  schools.  In  that  connection  the 
following  resolution  of  the  Literary 
Faculty  was  presented: 

Resolved:  That  it  is  the  sense  of  this 
Faculty  diat  it  appreciates  the  work  that 
Professor  Whitney  has  done  and  recom- 
mends his  report  to  the  careful  attention 
of  the  Board  of  Regents. 

The  Board  requested  Professor 
Whitney  to  report  at  the  next  meeting 
more  definitely  on  arrangements  that 
can  be  made  with  the  Board  of  Edu- 
cation of  this  city  to  carry  out  the  plan 
which  he  recommended. — ^A  commun- 
ication from  Dean  Cooley  enclosing 
the  resignation  of  Associate  Dean  J. 
B.  Davis  of  the  Engineering  Depart- 
ment was  laid  before  the  Board.  Pro- 
fessor Davis  tendered  his  resignation 
because  he  felt  that  the  work  in  en- 
gineering has  grown  to  such  magni- 
tude that  he  has  been  unable  to  give 
it  sufficient  time  while  serving  as  As- 
sociate Dean.  On  motion  of  Regent 
White,  his  resignation  was  accepted 
and  Professor  William  H.  Butts,  Ph. 
D.,  was  appointed  Assistant  Dean  of 


the  Engineering  Department  to  per- 
form the  duties  given  up  by  Asso- 
ciate Dean  J.  B.  Davis.  His  duties 
are  to  begin  on  May  ist,  his  compen- 
sation to  be  $300  for  the  rest  of  this 
year  and  after  October  first  he  is  to 
have  the  rank  of  Junior  Professor 
and  a  salary  of  $2,000  for  his  entire 
services  as  Junior  Professor  and  As- 
sistant Dean. — It  was  voted  by  a  full 
vote  of  the  Board  that  $25,000  for 
construction  work  at  the  Observatory 
be  set  apart  and  that  the  University 
proceed  with  the  work. — ^Julian  Elton 
Gilkey  was  granted  the  degree  of  Doc- 
tor of  Dental  Surgery. — ^John  Nelson 
Norwood  was  appointed  to  the  Peter 
White  Fellowship  in  American  His- 
tory for  the  coming  year. — ^A  letter 
was  presented  by  Professor  F.  N. 
Scott  as  foltows: 

Dear  Sir: 

I  will  offer  a  prize  of  $100  cash  for  the 
best  poem  submitted  by  any  student  in  the 
Literary  Department  of  the  University  of 
Michigan.  This  poem  is  to  be  written  and 
submitted  to  the  committee  of  award  on 
or  before  May  i,  igop,  said  committee  to 
consist  of  the  Professor  and  Assistant  Pro- 
fessors of  the  Department  of  Rhetoric  in 
the  University.  The  terms  and  conditions 
of  the  awarding  of  the  prize  are  to  be  pre- 
scribed by  the  committee,  who  will  make  a 
formal  announcement  of  the  same. 
Very  truly  yours, 

Nklson  C.  TmjD,  '9a

The  thanks  of  the  Board  were  re- 
turned to  Mr.  Field  for  his  generous 
oflFer. — Professor  Calvin  O.  Davis  was 
granted  leave  of  absence  for  one  year 
and  Mr.  Charles  Scott  Berry,  Ph.D., 
was  appointed  Acting  Assistant  Pro- 
fessor in  place  of  Mr.  Davis,  at  the 
same  salary,  $1,600,  for  the  coming 
year.  Mr.  Berry  is  a  graduate  of 
Harvard. — A  communication  was  pre- 
sented from  Professor  Wenley  asking 
for  a  leave  of  absence  for  Professor 
W.  B.  Pillsbury  for  the  first  semester 
of  i9o8-'o9,  without  salary,  and  rec- 
ommending a  number  of  changes  in 
the  Department  of  Philosophy  in  or- 
der that  his  work  might  be  cared  for

following  preamble  and  resolutions 
concerning  the  action  of  Mr.  Andrew 
Carnegie  in  extending  the  benefits  of 
the  pension  fund  to  Professors  in 
State  Universities,  were  unanimously 
adopted : 

Whereas:  A  copy  of  the  following  let- 
ter from  Andrew  Carnegie  to  Dr.  Henry 
S.  Pritchett,  President  of  the  Carnegie 
Foundation  for  the  Advancement  of  Teadi- 
ing,  has  been  sent  to  President  Angell  by 
Dr.  Pritchett: 


Dear  Sir: 


March  31,  1908. 


Your  favor  of  today  informs  me  of  the 
desire  of  the  Professors  of  State  Univer- 
sities to  be  embraced  in  the  Pension  Fund, 
as  shown  by  a  resolution  unanimously 
adopted  by  their  National  Association. 

In  my  letter  of  April  16,  1905,  handing 
over  the  Fund  to  my  Trustees,  the  follow- 
ing occurs: 

"We  have,  however,  to  recognize  that 
State  and  Colonial  Governments  which 
have  established  or  mainly  supported  Uni- 
versities, Colleges  or  Schools  may  prefer 
that  their  relations  shall  remain  exclusively 
with  the  State.  I  cannot,  therefore,  pre- 
sume to  include  them." 

I  beg  now  to  say  that  should  the  Gov- 


erning Boards  of  any  State  Universities 
appl^  for  participation  in  the  Fund  and  the 
Lc^slature  and  Governor  of  the  State  ap- 
prove such  application,  it  will  give  me  great 
pleasure  to  increase  the  Fund  to  the  extent 
necessary  to  admit  them.  I  understand 
from  vou  that  if  all  the  State  Universities 
should  apply  and  be  admitted  Five  Mil- 
lions more  of  five  per  cent  bonds  would  be 
required,  making  the  Fund  Fifteen  Million 
Dollars  in  all. 

From  the  numerous  letters  I  have  re- 
ceived from  pensioners  and  their  wives  and 
the  warm  approval  of  the  press  and  the 
public,  I  am  satisfied  that  this  Fund  is, 
and  must  be  for  all  time,  productive  of 
lasting  good,  not  only  to  the  recipients  but 
to  the  cause  of  higher  education. 

Most  grateful  am  I  to  be  privileged  as 
trustee  of  this  wealth  to  devote  it  to  such 
use.  Yours  truly, 

(Signed)  Andrew  Carnbgic 

Dr.  Henry  S.  Pritchett, 

President  Carnegie  Foundation 
for  the  Advancement  of  Teaching." 

Therefore,  Resolved:  That  the  thanks  of 
this  Board  be  tendered  to  Mr.  Carnegie  for 
his  generous  act. 

Resolved:  That  this  Board  respectfully 
applies  for  participation  in  the  Fund, 

Resolved  further:  That  this  action  be 
made  known  to  the  Governor  and  the  Leg- 
islature of  the  State,  and  their  approval  of 
it  be  asked. 

Thanks  were  returned  to  the  Widdi- 
combe  Furniture  Co.,  of  Grand  Rap- 
ids for  the  present  of  a  mahogany  ex- 
hibit, and  to  the  Redwood  Mfg.  Co., 
for  the  present  of  redwood,  given  to 
the  Forestry  Department. — Dr.  Wil- 
liam F.  Breakey  was  granted  leave  of 
absence  from  May  I2tfi  until  the  mid- 
dle of  August,  that  he  might  visit  the 
hospitals  in  Eurc^. — ^The  Board  then 
adjourned  to  May  22,  1908.

in  the  Faculty  of  the  new  Institution 
with  which  he  had  already  identified 
his  own  fortunes.  As  a  result  of  this 
visit,  I  fotmd  myself  the  following 
autiunn  working  side  by  side  with 
him,  he  in  the  Chair  of  History,  I  in 
the  Chair  of  Greek.  The  next  year 
he  was  called  to  Hiram  College,  and 
on  his  accession  to  the  Presidency  in 
1870,  I  joined  him  as  Professor  of 
Ancient  Languages.  For  the  thirty- 
two  years  and  more  since  our  first 
meeting  we  have  been  neighbors  and 
colleagues  for  a  large  part  of  the 
time,  and  always  fast  friends.  Our 
early  struggles,  our  common  tastes 
and  aims,  knit  us  together,  and  seldom 
through  all  these  years  did  we  fail  to 
see  eye  to  eye. 

Burke  Aaron  Hinsdale  was  bom  in 
Wadsworth,  Ohio,  March  31,  1837, 
tiie  second  of  five  children  and  the 
eldest  son.  His  father,  Albert  Hins- 
dale, was  a  native  of  Torrington, 
Conn.,  and  came  to  the  Western  Re- 
serve with  his  family  when  a  mere  lad. 
The  mother,  Clarinda  Eyles,  also  of 
a  Connecticut  family,  was  bom  at  Ak- 
ron about  a  year  after  her  parents 
reached  Ohio.  These  young  people 
grew  up  in  the  same  neighborhood, 
and  had  such  opportunities  for  culture 
as  the  new  country  afforded.  They 
had  little  school  training,  but  both 
possessed  sturdy  qualities  of  body  and 
mind,  physical  endurance,  insight, 
firmness,  courage,  hopefulness,  moral 
and  spiritual  elevation,  the  richest  in- 
heritance that  can  fall  to  children. 
Shortly  after  their  marriage,  in  1834, 
they  settled  on  the  land  in  Medina 
county  which  was  to  be  their  home 
for  tiie  rest  of  their  days.  In  this 
farmer's  household  the  young  Burice 
g^ew  up  to  manhood,  always  bearing 
cheerfully  and  loyally  his  share  in  the 
labors  and  privations  incident  to  such 
a  life.  Many  tender  memories  gath- 
ered around  the  spot  for  him,  and  he 
made  frequent  pilgrimages  to  it 
throughout  his  life. 

Up  to  his  seventeenth  year  his  ed- 


ucational advantages  had  been  con- 
fined to  the  district  school.  In  1850 
the  body  known  as  the  Disciples  of 
Christ  had  opened  the  Westem  Re- 
serve Eclectic  Institute  on  Hiram 
Hill,  about  forty  miles  from  the  Hins- 
dale home.  The  fame  of  this  school 
soon  spread  throughout  the  region 
and  beyond.  Hither  in  1853  came  the 
young  Hinsdale,  and  hither  he  con- 
tinued to  come  at  intervals  for  some 
years  thereafter,  as  his  means  would 
permit,  till  he  had  completed  the 
course.  During  his  later  years  at  Hi- 
ram he  taught  some  classes  in  the  In- 
stitute while  pursuing  his  own  studies. 

At  Hiram  he  formed  a  friendship 
with  the  young  Garfield  which  was 
destined  to  have  a  large  influence  on 
his  own  career.  Garfield  was  a  few 
years  his  senior  and  more  advanced 
in  his  studies;  but  a  close  intimacy 
gradually  sprang  up  between  them 
which  ripened  into  a  firm  and  lasting 
friendship.  Each  found  in  the  other 
what  he  himself  in  a  measure  lacked. 
Garfield's  richly  suggestive  and  ar- 
dent nature  greatly  stimulated  the 
younger  man,  while  Hinsdale's  clear- 
ness of  insight  and  steady  judgment 
often  held  in  check  the  enthusiasms 
of  the  elder. 

He  was  married  at  twenty-five,  and 
the  same  year  entered  actively  on  the 
pursuits  of  the  Christian  ministry. 
He  preached  regularly  at  Solon  for  a 
few  years,  where  he  also  conducted 
a  private  school,  and  later  at  Cleve- 
land, where  he  was  associate  editor  of 
The  Christian  Standard.  He  cwitin- 
ued  to  preach  occasionally  in  the  pul- 
pit of  his  own  and  other  denomina- 
tions throughout  his  life  as  there  was 
need.  He  was  a  clear,  forcible,  and 
acceptable  preacher,  but  his  true 
sphere  was  the  school;  and  to  this 
work  he  returned  in  1868,  never  again 
to  relinquish  it. 

In  the  Presidency  of  Hiram  Col- 
lege, which  he  assumed  at  the  age  of 
thirty-three,  he  found  a  field  that  call- 
ed into  play  all  his  versatile  powers.

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[May 


His  physical  and  mental  resources  at 
this  period  were  prodigious,  and  he 
did  well  the  work  of  several  men  dur- 
ing the  twelve  years  of  his  incumben- 
cy. As  a  result  the  Institution  re- 
ceived from  his  administration  an  im- 
petus that  it  can  never  lose. 

On  the  nomination  of  General  Gar- 
field for  the  Presidency  of  the  United 
States  in  1880,  Hinsdale  naturally  be- 
came deeply  interested  in  the  result 
of  the  election,  and  at  the  request  of 
the  National  Republican  Committee 
he  prepared  a  "Campaign  Text-book" 
and  made  numerous  speeches  in  the 
states  of  Ohio  and  Indiana.  Had 
President  Garfield  lived,  it  is  by  no 
means  unlikely  that  Hinsdale  would 
have  been  drawn  into  tl>e  diplomatic 
service  of  the  country ;  but  fortunately 
for  the  cause  of  education  this  was 
not  to  be. 

In  1882,  quite  to  his  own  surprise, 
he  was  tendered  the  Superintendency 
of  the  Cleveland  public  schools. 
The  condition  of  the  preparatory 
schools  had  already  occupied  his  atten- 
tion, and  he  had  published  some 
things  on  the  subject  by  way  of  criti- 
cism and  suggestion.  He  now  en- 
tered upon  a  careful  study  of  the  mat- 
ter with  a  view  to  practical  improve- 
ment in  methods  and  aims.  His  an- 
nual reports  during  the  four  years  of 
his  superintendency  contained  the  re- 
sults of  these  studies  and  at  once  at- 
tracted the  favorable  attention  of  ed- 
ucators throughout  the  country.  And 
so  when  the  Chair  of  the  Science  and 
Art  of  Teaching  at  this  university  fell 
vacant  in  1887  by  the  resignation  of 
Professor  Payne,  the  sentiment  among 
the  public  school  men  of  our  own 
state  at  once  pointed  to  him  as  a  fit- 
ting successor. 

His  Ann  Arbor  life  proved  highly 
agreeable  to  him  for  several  reasons, 
but  especially  because  he  found  here 
release  from  much  of  the  administra- 


tive drudgery  that  had  weighed  him 
down  for  so  many  years.  He  now 
found  more  time  for  research  and 
authorship,  for  which  he  had  a  re- 
maikable  aptitude.  During  the  Hi- 
ram period  he  had  published  at  least 
three  books,  all  on  ecclesiastical  sub- 
jects. The  tragedy  of  1881  called 
forth  two  works  from  him:  "Garfield 
and  Education,"  with  a  biographical 
introduction  (1882),  and  a  collected 
edition  of  General  Garfield's  worics  in 
two  octavo  volumes  (1883).  In  1884 
appeared  "Schools  and  Studies,"  and 
in  1888  "The  Old  Northwest,"  one 
of  his  most  original  and  sustained  per- 
formances. The  Ann  Arbor  period, 
for  reasons  named  above,  has  been 
especially  prolific.  The  following  are 
the  principal  titles:  "The  American 
Government"  (1891,  and  revised  from 
time  to  time),  "How  to  Study  and 
Teach  History"  (1803),  "Jesus  as  a 
Teacher"  (1895),  "Teaching  the  Lan- 
guage Arts"  (1896),  "Studies  in  Ed- 
ucation" (1896),  "The  Civil  Govern- 
ment of  Ohio"  (1896),  Xife  of  Hor- 
ace Mann"  (1898),  and  "The  Art  of 
Study"  (1900).  A  History  of  the 
University  of  Michigan,  on  which  he 
bestowed  much  labor,  is  now  in  the 
hands  of  the  printer.*  Besides 
these  he  published  numerous  reviews, 
pamphlets  and  editorials,  which  if 
collected  would  fill  many  volumes. 
All  this  work  bears  the  impress  of 
his  clear,  forcible  and  richly  stored 
mind.  Other  works  were  in  contem- 
plation when  he  was  stricken  by  his 
last  illness,  but  these  plans,  alas,  now 
sleep  with  him.  While  we  mourn  his 
untimely  end,  we  have  this  consola- 
tion, that  he  lived  to  accomplish  so 
much,  and  to  impress  himself  upon 
his  generation  in  a  way  so  beneficent 
and  so  honorable.

GRADUATE  SCHOOLS

SOURCES  OF  STRENGTH  IN  GRADUATE 

SCHOOLS 


Men  have  been  asking  each  other 
of  late,  as  they  met  on  the  Campus, 
what  is  the  matter  with  the  graduate 
work  at  Michigan?  How  can  we  ex- 
plain the  fact  that  among  the  seven 
or  eight  largest  universities  of  the 
country  we  have  the  smallest  number 
of  graduate  students?  Indeed  that  is 
a  very  euphonious  way  of  putting  it. 
Why  has  Columbia  over  seven  times 
as  many,  Harvard  nearly  five  times, 
Wisconsin,  Yale  and  Pennsylvania 
nearly  four  times,  and  Cornell,  Cali- 
fornia, and  New  York  over  twice  as 
many  as  has  Michigan?  Indeed  it 
would  seem  that  there  were  none  so 
poor  to  do  us  reverence.  Illinois  has 
70  more  graduate  students  than  we, 
Indiana,  11  more,  Iowa  20  more,  Mis- 
souri 42  more,  and  Nebraska  7  more, 
all  of  them  being  far  below  us  in  total 
attendance,  and  all  being  younger  in- 
stitutions with  far  less  of  the  prestige 
which  ought  to  attract  graduate  stu- 
dents. Nor  is  the  inferiority  merely 
one  6f  numbers,  as  a  more  careful  ex- 
amination seems  to  reveal.  Of  Mich- 
igan's 95  graduate  students  over  60 
are  graduates  of  Michigan.  A  cynic 
might  intercept  this  fact  to  mean  that 
these  students  were  not  necessarily  at- 
tracted to  Michigan's  graduate  work 
by  the  fame  of  her  instructors,  or  the 
excellence  of  her  equipment,  but  that 
they  staid  on  out  of  sheer  inertia  and 
merely  because  they  had  the  Michi- 
gan habit.  Only  nine  students  seem 
to  have  been  attracted  here  from  the 
larger  universities  of  the  country,* 
one  each  from  Cornell,  Chicago,  Har- 
vard, and  Northwestern,  and  from  a 
few  other  less  known  large  institu- 
tions-   Some  28  more  come  from  small 


colleges,  half  of  the  number  within 
the  state  and  half  outside.  When  we 
compare  these  facts  with  some  of  the 
corresponding  data  from  other  insti- 
tutions, we  get  some  dismaying  re- 
sults. Wisconsin,  perhaps,  may  be 
most  fairly  compared.  Where  Michi- 
gan has  9  from  other  large  institu- 
tions Wisconsin  has  over  50.  Less 
than  half  of  her  graduate  students  are 
Wisconsin  graduates,  though  she  has 
20  more  of  her  own  graduates  than 
we  have  of  our  own.  It  is  fair  also 
to  compare  Cornell,  which  draws  67 
graduate  students  from  other  large  in- 
stitutions, and  62  from  small  colleges, 
only  about  a  third  of  her  total  num- 
ber being  graduates  of  Cornell.  Yale 
draws  55  from  other  large  universities 
and  130  from  small  colleges  for  the 
most  part  outside  of  the  state.  Doubt- 
less we  could  not  hope  to  ccwnpete  in 
these  respects  with  Harvard  and  Co- 
lumbia, but  it  is  interesting  to  note 
that  Harvard  draws  her  graduate  stu- 
dents from  124  other,  institutions,  and 
125  of  her  students  come  from  the 
larger  institutions,*  so  classed  in  the 
above  comparisons,  while  78  come 
from  the  smaller  colleges  and  191 
from  Harvard.  Of  Columbia's  grad- 
uate students  (in  1906)  438  were 
graduates  of  other  universities  and 
colleges.  At  the  University  of  Penn- 
sylvania 140  of  the  graduate  students 
are  graduates  of  other  institutions. 
For  the  purposes  of  this  analysis  the 
statistics  of  the  University  of  Chicago 
are  confusing,  but  (in  1906)  using 
only  the  list  of  graduate  students  ac- 
tually admitted  to  candidacy  for  ad- 
vanced degrees,  we  find  that  50  are 
graduates  of  the  University  of  Chi- 


^This  and  the  following  data  are  taken 
from  the  catalogue  of  1905-6. 


•Harvard  drew,  in  1906,  from  Prince- 
ton 3,  from  Yale  7,  from  Leland  Stanford 
3,  from  Dartmouth  6,  from  Chicago  5, 
from  Michigan  10,  from  Cornell  6,  and 
from  Brown  12.

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[May 


cago,  50  come  from  other  large  uni- 
versities, and  81  from  small  colleges. 
In  bringing  these  odious  comparisons 
to  a  close  the  main  thing  to  note  is 
that  Michigan  has  attracted  from  oth- 
er institutions  fewer  graduate  students 
in  proportion  to  her  whole  number 
than  any  of  the  institutions  mentioned. 
Other  interesting  statistics  might  be 
compiled  showing  the  total  number 
of  students  inspired  by  each  institu- 
tion to  go  on  with  graduate  work,  but 
I  have  not  had  time  for  this  task. 

But  the  end  is  not  yet,  for  when 
we  compare  the  publications  of  the 
results  of  graduate  work  emanating 
from  Harvard,  Columbia,  Yale,  Cor- 
nell, University  of  Pennsylvania,  Wis- 
consin, and  the  University  of  Chica- 
go, such  as  the  Harvard  Oriental  Ser- 
ies, Harvard  Studies  in  Classical  Phil- 
ology, Harvard  Historical  Studies, 
Publigations  of  the  Museum  of  Com- 
parative Zoology,  etc.,  etc.,  or  the  Chi- 
cago Germanic  Studies,  English  Stud- 
ies, Contributions  to  Philosophy, 
Economic  Studies,  etc.,  (see  the  lists 
in  the  bulletins  of  Harvard,  Yale,  Co- 
lumbia, Pennsylvania,  Cornell,  and 
Chicago)  and  the  various  scientific 
journals — the  American  Journal  of 
ciology.  Political  Science  Quarterly, 
Quarterly  Journal  of  Economics,  is- 
sued by  these  institutions — when  we 
compare  these  with  Michigan's  ef- 
forts in  that  direction  the  contrast  is 
still  more  distressing. 

Another  and  more  difficult  matter 
to  put  in  statistical  form  is  the  suc- 
cess of  graduate  students  after  they 
get  their  degrees  and  go  out  as  they 
frequently  do  into  academic  life.  What 
university  attracts  the  best  type  of 
man  and  therewith  supplies  the  best 
places  and  in  what  proportion. 

There  is  much  evidence  that  the 
members  of  Michigan's  faculties  arc 
not  content  with  this  condition  of 
graduate  work.  It  is  fully  understood 
that  it  is  only  a  question  of  time  be- 
fore a  degeneration  of  the  graduate 
work  will   seriously   eflfect  not   only 


the  quality  of  undergraduate  work, 
but  the  numbers  of  undergraduate  at- 
tendance. Filled  with  apprehension 
for  the  future  there  is  an  earnest  de- 
sire to  improve  our  condition.  The 
first  thing  to  do,  it  would  seem,  is  to 
examine  in  a  dispassionate,  objective 
way  the  facts  about  graduate  work  in 
the  leading  graduate  schools  and  to 
learn  if  we  can  what  conditions  favor 
the  development  of  graduate  study. 
Then  if  the  favorable  conditions  can 
be  created  at  Michigan  we  could 
shape  our  policy  with  that  end  in  view. 
The  essential  factors  which  are  con- 
ducive to  a  successful  graduate  school 
are  seemingly  so  patent  that  they 
might  appear  too  obvious  to  require 
demonstration,  but  there  is  a  convinc- 
ing power  in  facts  and  statistics  which 
may  serve  to  force  the  recognition  of 
truths  which  may  have  been  too  un- 
welcome to  be  received.  With  this 
belief  I  have  had  some  facts  tabulated 
by  Mr.  Arthur  Cole,  a  graduate  stu- 
dent, who  is  an  assistant  in  the  Amer- 
ican History  department.  The  accom- 
panying tabulation  shows  the  distrib- 
ution of  major  elections  among  the 
several  departments  of  the  seven  uni- 
versities with  whom  Michigan  is  best 
pleased  to  compare  herself.*  Follow- 
ing the  statement  of  the  number  of 
major  elections  in  any  given  subject 
is  a  list  of  the  names  of  the  profes- 
sors teaching  that  subject,  and  then 
a  column  briefly  stating  the  facilities 
for  study  of  that  subject  at  the  given 
institution,  and  finally  the  number  of 
fellowships  and  scholarships  assign- 
able to  graduate  students.  The  col- 
umns containing  the  names  of  profes- 
sors and  the  facilities  for  research 
work  I  am  responsible  for  myself,  but 


I  have  used  the  bulletins,  catalogues  or 
calendars  for  1905-06,  because  they  were  the 
latest  attainable  in  our  library,  and  further- 
more because  in  cases  where  I  wished  to 
make  comparison  with  our  own  statistics, 
I  could  do  so  more  objectively  since  at 
that  time  I  was  not  in  diarge  of  any  de- 
partment here.

GRADUATE  SCHOOLS

Mr.  Cole  prepared  the  others.*  To 
make  the  study  more  objective  I  have 
not  included  the  data  for  Michigan, 
but  they  are  easily  placed  in  the  table 
by  anyone  desiring  to  make  invidious 
comparisons.  It  ought  to  be  said, 
however,  that  except  in  one  or  two 
cases  Michigan  departments  made  a 
better  figure  in  1906  than  now. 

The  full  meaning  of  the  data  here 
tabulated  could  not  be  extracted  with- 
out discussion  of  the  comparative 
standing  and  attainments  of  the  var- 
ious men  in  charge  of  the  depart- 
ments in  the  several  universities  here 
considered.  That  thankless  task  is 
best  done  by  each  individual  who 
wishes  honestly  to  study  the  submit- 
ted statistics  for  the  purpose  of  learn- 
ing what  is  the  real  foundation  of  suc- 
cess in  graduate  work.  Such  a  com- 
parison of  men  even  in  the  privacy 
of  our  own  Alumnus  would  be  odious, 
and  is  certainly  far  from  my  intention, 
but  it  cannot  be  out  of  place  or  in- 
delicate to  be  complimentary  to  a  few 
men  of  distinction,  while  I  point  out 
at  least  the  positive  significance  of  the 
tabulated  material.  Every  specialist 
on  the  campus,  and  every  interested 
alumnus  who  will  sit  down  with  his 
"Who's  Who  in  America"  can  in  his 
secret  soul  come  to  his  own  conclu- 
sions about  any  of  the  departments 
here  considered. 

As  we  observe  the  relative  numeri- 
cal strength  shown  in  the  table  of 
graduate  work  in  the  English  depart- 
ments can  we  doubt  that  3ie  superior- 
ity of  Columbia  and  Harvard  in  that 
subject  is  due  to  the  standing  and  at- 
tainments of  Brander  Matthews,  G. 
R.  Carpenter  and  W.  P.  Trent  at  Co- 


*The  tabulation  was  made  out  originally 
for  fourteen  different  univerisities  and  eigh- 
teen different  departments,  but  the  limita- 
tions of  space  in  the  Alumnus  necessitated 
cutting  to  seven  universities  and  twelve  de- 
partments. The  results,  however,  are  not 
affected  by  the  selection.  There  may  be  a 
few  errors  in  the  tables,  but  the  sigidfi- 
cance  of  the  total  cannot  be  affected  merc- 
by. 


lumbia,  and  of  G.  P.  Baker,  A.  S. 
Hill,  G.  L.  Kittredge  and  Barrett 
Wendell  at  Harvard?  Add  to  the  in- 
spiration and  drawing  power  of  these 
men  the  unrivalled  facilities  of  the 
available  libraries  at  both  places,  and 
what  farther  explanation  do  we  need 
of  the  superior  nimihers  there  gather- 
ed for  graduate  work  in  English? 
Fellowships  and  scholarships  do  not 
determine  the  numbers,  as  the  table 
plainly  shows,  though  without  doubt 
they  are  an  aid.  If  we  turn  to  the 
data  for  the  German  and  Modem  Lan- 
guages which  because  of  the  diflFer- 
ences  in  various  catalogues  have  been 
tmited  in  this  table  we  see  Columbia 
and  Harvard  again  at  the  front  with 
Calvin  Thcwnas,  Kuno  Francke  and 
Von  Jagemann  as  the  unquestioned 
explanation  of  the  presence  of  a  large 
contingent  of  graduate  students.  The 
large  number  at  Pennsylvania  is  in 
part  accotmted  for  by  the  fact  of  the 
large  German  population  of  the  state, 
from  which  the  University  draws  a 
large  percent  of  its  students.  At  Co- 
lumbia the  equipment  is  apparently 
the  best  with  the  special  German  Ref- 
erence Library,  the  Goethe  Library, 
the  Scandinavian  Collection,  the  Hol- 
land Society  Library,  and  the  Carl 
Schurz  Library  Fimd.  Turning  to 
the  French  departments,  Columbia 
and  Harvard  again  lead,  and  again 
the  men  and  the  facilities  for  study 
explain  the  attractiveness  of  graduate 
work  in  the  Romance  Languages  at 
these  universities.  In  the  Classics  the 
manifest  lead  of  Coltunbia,  Harvard 
and  Yale  was  easily  explained  by  the 
presence  of  Harry  Thurston  Pedc,  J. 
C.  Egbert,  G.  Lodge  of  Columbia,  J. 
W.  White,  J.  H.  Wright  at  Harvard, 
and  T.  D.  Goodell,  Tracy  Peck,  T.  D. 
Seymour  of  Yale. 

If  perchance  my  judgment  based 
upon  general  knowledge,  ccHisultation 
of  "Who's  Who,"  and  in  some  cases 
the  opinions  of  colleagues  of  mine  who 
are  specialists  in  the  field, — ^if  these 
judgments  can  be  questioned  because

of  lack  of  special  knowledge,  at  least 
I  may  be  allowed  to  judge  the  relative 
standing  of  men  in  my  own  field,  that 
of  history.  Here  the  table  is  espec- 
ially eloquent  in  teaching  its  lesson  as 
to  the  factors  which  make  graduate 
work  a  success.  E.  Channing,  A. 
B.  Hart,  Charles  Gross  and  E. 
Emertcm  are  in  the  front  rank  of 
American  historical  scholars,  engaged 
in  academic  woik.  H.  L.  Osgood, 
W.  A.  Dunning,  and  J.  H.  Robinson 
are  in  the  same  class.  G.  B.  Adams 
and  E.  G.  Bourne  are  eminent  schol- 
ars whose  seminaries  are  eagerly 
sought.  In  the  West  the  University 
of  Wisconsin  leads,  because  F.  J. 
Turner  is  perhaps,  the  most  original 
investigator  in  the  field  of  American 
History,  and  has  at  his  hand  one  of 
the  three  greatest  historical  libraries 
in  America,  the  Wisconsin  Historical 
Society  library.  Its  collection  of  old 
newspapers  and  pamphlets,  indispens- 
able material  for  historical  investiga- 
tors, is  unrivaled.  In  the  field  of  eco- 
nomics what  could  be  more  natural 
than  the  leadership  held  by  Yale  and 
Columbia  with  two  men  of  such  dis- 
tinction as  A.  '1\  Hadley  and  E.  R.  A. 
Seligman,  and  with  the  facilities  for 
economic  research  possessed  by  each 
institution.  In  the  West,  Wisconsin 
leads  again  because  of  the  devoted 
work  of  Professor  Ely,  aided  by  a  li- 
brary especially  rich  in  economic  ma- 
terial, and  the  best  library  on  labor 
subjects  in  any  university  of  the  coun- 
try. In  political  science  J.  W.  Bur- 
gess, Munroe  Smith,  W.  A.  Dunning, 
F.  J.  Goodnow,  and  J.  B.  Moore  fur- 
nish an  array  of  names  famous  enough 
in  their  subjects  to  account  easily  for 
Columbia's  superior  numbers.  A.  L. 
Lowell  at  Harvard  would  alone  ex- 
plain the  position  of  the  Political  Sci- 
ence department  there  as  compared 
with  others.  In  Philosophy,  J.  Dew- 
ey, and  F.  Adler,  and  Wm.  James  and 
J.  Royce  explain  the  success  of  Co- 
lumbia and  Harvard. 
But  there  seems  little  use  of  pur- 


suing this  further  for  if  my  '*Who's 
Who,"  and  my  advisors  among  my 
colleagues  tell  me  the  truth,  the  story 
is  the  same  throughout  the  list  of  de- 
partments. The  strcmgest  men,  and 
the  best  equipments  draw  the  graduate 
students.  You  cannot  buy  or  bribe 
graduate  students  with  fellowships  as 
the  table  plainly  shows,  but  the  g^d- 
uate  students  will  seek  the  men,  who 
(first)  are  doing  most  to  advance  their 
particular  science,  and  (second)  are 
willing  after  students  come  to  them  to 
give  time  and  energy  for  their  guid- 
ance. The  equipment,  the  facilities  for 
work,  are  also  important  to  encourage 
graduate  work,  and  for  that  reason 
the  imiversities  in  large  cities  furnish 
in  many  cases  particularly  strong  in- 
ducements to  graduate  students.  In 
social  and  economic  studies  especially 
this  is  true.  Large  city  libraries,  his- 
torical society  collections,  great  social 
and  economic  problems  being  solved 
in  a  practical  way,  large  manufactur- 
ies,  the  stock  exchange,  vast  banking 
enterprises  greatly  facilitate  some 
kinds  of  research.  No  substitute  for 
many  of  these  advantages  can  be  pro- 
cured for  the  university  in  a  small  iso- 
lated college  town,  but  a  generous  ex- 
penditure of  money  may  build  up  the 
best  library  facilities,  the  most  effi- 
cient laboratories,  and,  what  is  more 
important,  may  induce  strong  men,  the 
productive,  inspiring  men  to  accept 
professorships  in  a  large  university 
of  good  standing.  It  is  because  Mich- 
igan has  not  had  the  money  that  oth- 
er universities  have  been  tempting 
many  of  her  most  productive  and  in- 
spiring scholars  to  other  fields,  and 
when  death  has  robbed  us  of  others 
we  have  not  had  the  money  to  tempt 
their  equals  to  fill  the  vacant  place. 

We  have  now  demonstrated  by  the 
statistics  of  the  graduate  attendance 
at  the  principal  universities  how  Mich- 
igan has  fallen  behind  in  the  matter 
of  her  graduate  school,  and  we  have 
made  an  objective  study  of  those  fac- 
tors which  tend  to  develop  successful

graduate  schools.  Strong  men  and 
good  equipment  seem  to  be  the  es- 
sential things.  The  first  requisite  to 
supply  such  deficiencies  where  they 
exist  is  money,  generously  and  wisely 
spent,  but  in  an  institution  which  has 
the  system  of  organization  by  depart- 
ments with  heads  drawing  the  maxi- 
mum salary  and  holding  the  most  de- 
sirable position,  the  calling  of  new 
strong  men  is  impossible,  because  they 
will  not  come  except  for  salary  and 
position  equal  or  superior  to  the  head 
of  the  department.  The  solution  of 
the  problem  lies  therefore  in  substi- 
tuting for  the  department  scheme  with 
its  permanent  head,  a  group  system  in 
which  every  member  of  the  group  who 
has  the  rank  of  assistant  professor  or 
higher  has  a  voice  in  selecting  each 
year  a  chairman  of  the  group,  who 
looks  after  all  small  details  of  the 
group  administration,  while  the  mat- 
ters of  policy  are  settled  in  meetings 
of  the  members  of  the  g^oup  where 


each  has  a  voice  and  a  vote.  This 
system,  in  practice  at  Harvard,  Co- 
lumbia and  Wisconsin,  allows  the 
group  to  call  in  new  strong  men,  plac- 
ing them  in  a  rank  equal  to  the  high- 
est, and  giving  them  if  necessary  a 
higher  salary  than  any.  There  is  a 
group  pride  which  makes  each  mem- 
ber desire  to  strengthen  the  group  by 
any  acquisition  of  talent  possible  with 
the  means  attainable.  The  organiza- 
tion does  away  with  the  inflexibility 
of  the  department  scheme  and  brings 
about  a  cordiality  of  relations  within 
the  group  which  is  highly  valued 
where  it  has  been  tried.  Revolution- 
ary as  it  seems,  is  this  not  the  true 
and  only  solution  of  the  great  prob- 
lem which  now  seems  to  confront  the 
University  of  Michigan?  Without  it 
the  needed  changes  must  come  about 
so  slowb^  that  great  harm  must  come 
to  the  Universitv  before  the  better 
conditions  can  be  established.

TRACK  TEAM  TRIUMPHS  AT  PENN 
RELAY 

On  April  25  at  Franklin  Field,  Phila- 
delphia, Michigan  won  two  worid's  cham- 
pionships— ^thc  two  and  four-mile  relays. 
Since  the  establishment  of  the  Pennsylva- 
nia Relays  five  years  ago  Michigan  has 
easily  beaten  all  entrants  in  the  four  mile 
event.  This  year  the  long  race  was  given 
to  the  western  quartette  by  default  as  no 
college  was  willing  to  enter  a  team  against 
thenL  Not  until  about  ten  days  before  the 
race  was  it  decided  to  enter  the  four  mile 
team  in  the  two  mile  race,  but  Trainer 
Fitzpatrick  was  equal  to  the  task  and  the 
last  Michigan  runner  finished  easily  50 
yards  in  the  lead  of  the  flower  of  the 
eastern  college  teams  in  8:04  1-5.  Penn- 
sylvania,    second,     Columbia,     third     and 


Princeton  and  Dartmouth  struggling  for 
fourth  place  were  the  other  teams  entered. 

Michigan's  team  was  composed  of  Bohn- 
sack,  Rowe,  Dull  and  Coe,  running  in  the 
order  named.  When  the  first  runners  lined 
up  the  green  western  runner  was  opposed 
by  Beck  of  Pennsylvania,  Conger  of 
Princeton,  Sink  of  Columbia  and  Hoffman 
of  Dartmouth.  Following  his  instructions 
Bohnsack  allowed  the  easterners  to  set  the 
pace  only  pulling  up  with  the  leaders  in 
the  last  quarter  of  the  distance.  Down  the 
stretch  the  race  resolved  itself  into  a  splen- 
did sprint  between  Bohnsack  and  Beck,  the 
Penn  runner,  the  latter  giving  his  team- 
mate a  lead  of  less  than  a  yard  in  the 
time  of  two  minutes  flat 

Captain  Rowe,  the  second  man  for  the 
western  team,  began  his  relay  by  a  terrific 
sprint  which  left  such  a  gap  between  him-

self  and  the  eastern  runners  that  the  race 
looked  safe  for  Michigan.  Running  easily 
in  I  :S9  ^-5  Rowe  gave  Dull  a  lead  of  over 
five  yards. 

Unwilling  to  regard  the  race  as  safely 
won  Dull  ran  his  half  mile  in  i  :59  3-5,  the 
fastest  time  of  the  race,  and  gave  Coe 
a  generous  lead  of  thirty  yards.  The  rest 
was  easy  for  the  winners.  Coe  opened  his 
lead  to  about  fifty  yards  and  then  jogged 
in  to  the  cheers  of  the  thousands  of  spec- 
tators in  die  stands.

THE  SOUTHERN  TRIP  YIELDS  SIX 
VICTORIES 

Coach  McAllister  and  his  squad  returned 
to  Ann  Arbor  at  the  close  of  the  spring 
vacation  with  the  proud  record  of  having 
won  six  out  of  seven  of  the  games  played 
on  the  Southern  training  trip.  The  only 
defeat  was  at  the  hands  of  Tennessee,  who, 
taking  advantage  of  two  inexperienced 
pitchers,  batted  out  a  victory. 

The  pitching  staff,  concerning  which 
some  apprehension  was  felt  earlier  in  the 
season,  seems  fairly  strong.  Barr  is  strong, 
steady  and  has  a  good  assortment  of  the 
necessary  benders;  Linthicum,  who  shut 
out  Vanderbilt,  is  second  choice  for  the 
regular  place,  and  seems  to  possess  the 
qualifications  for  a  good  box  man;  Dona- 
hue and  Snow  are  somewhat  inexperienced 
but  will  probably  improve  in  warmer  weath- 
er.

was  the  first  opponent  of  the  season  and, 
due  to  Barr*s  splendid  pitching,  the  south- 
erners were  held  to  one  run,  that  scored 
on  an  error.  The  ten  runs  scored  by  the 
Varsity  came  as  the  result  of  bunched  hits 
and  errors  by  the  Georgetown  men.  Kel- 
ley  and  Wheeler  shone  at  bat  and  contrib- 
uted largely  to  the  10- 1  score.

At  Knoxville,  the  University  of  Tennes- 
see proved  easy  in  the  first  game  played 
Monday,  April  13,  and  the  Varsity  won 
by  a  score  of  10-4.     Donahue  opened  for 


the  invaders,  but  in  the  third  the  defend- 
ers found  lum  for  three  tallies.  linthi- 
cum pitched  and  batted  well,  keeping  the 
hits  gleaned  off  his  delivery  well  scattered. 
Tennessee's  errors  helped  swell  the  score.

The  next  day  the  tables  were  reversed 
and  the  Tennesseans  fattened  their  batting 
averages  on  two  of  Michigan's  cub  pitch- 
ers. Snow  who  opened  the  game  for  Mich- 
igan proved  easy  for  the  southern  batters 
and  Donahue,  who  succeeded  him  fared 
little  better.  The  result  was  13  hits  and  a 
victory.  Leach,  the  Tennessee  pitcher  had 
the  men  who  faced  him  guessing  and  five 
runs  was  the  most  they  could  gather  from 
him.

Castle  Heights  at  Lebanon  put  up  a  stiff 
game  and  only  bv  superior  base  running 
was  the  Varsity  able  to  get  away  with  the 
long  end  of  the  score.  Linthicum  had  all 
the  best  of  a  pitcher's  battle  allowing  only 
one  of  the  four  men  who  reached  first  to 
score.  All  three  Michigan  players  reach- 
ing first  completed  the  circuit  of  the  bases.

Only  two  of  the  three  games  scheduled 
against  Vanderbilt  at  Nashville  were  play- 
ed, rain  preventing  the  third  meeting.  Both 
games  were  victories  for  the  team  from 
the  north,  the  scores  being  5-2  and  ii-o. 
Barr  pitched  the  first  game  and  in  the 
opening  inning  the  Commodores  pounded 
out  two  runs— all  they  got  in  the  game. 
After  that  only  one  scratch  hit  was  all  he 
allowed.  Michigan's  winning  runs  came 
late  in  the  game  and  were  due  to  the  heavy 
hitting  of  Kelley,  the  second  baseman.

Linthicum's  curves  put  the  plucky  south- 
erners out  of  it  in  the  second  game.  Two 
feeble  hits  and  not  a  man  past  second 
spelled  shutout  Michigan,  on  the  other 
hand  hit  everything,  gathering  in  11  tal- 
lies.

THE  GAME  WITH  CASE  OPENS  NEW 
DIAMOND 

The  new  Ferry  Field  diamond  just  south 
of  the  new  gridiron  was  opened  April  25 
with  a  game  with  Case  resulting  in  a  2-0 
score  for  the  home  team.  The  feature  of 
the  contest  was  the  pitching  of  Barr  who 


held  the  Buckeyes  to  one  weak  hit.  Bar- 
rett, who  pitched  for  the  Cleveland  team 
did  good  work,  holding  the  Varsity  to  six 
well  scattered  hits,  but  his  best  efiForts  fade 
when  compared  to  those  of  Barr  who,  be- 
sides his  great  twirling,  struck  out  11  men 
and  gathered  in  two  hits  out  of  three 
times  at  bat

THE   NEW   ENGLAND  ALUMNI 
DINNER 

The  annual  dinner  of  the  Alumni  As- 
sociation of  the  University  of  Michigan  of 
New  England  was  held  in  Hotel  Brunswick, 
Boston,  the  evening  of  March  5,  1908. 
While  there  were  not  as  many  present  as 
had  been  expected,  this  did  not  prevent  an 
enthusiastic  meeting  characterized  by  the 
secretary  as  "an  assembly  of  those  who 
wished  the  University  to  be,  not  something 
of  the  past,  but  something  with  real  inter- 
est in  the  present" 

Dean  John  O.  Reed  of  the  Literary  De- 
partment, aided  by  his  presence  and  a 
toast  in  this  effort,  which  the  New  Eng- 
land alumni  cherish,  of  making  the  Uni- 
versity still  a  part  of  their  lives.  In  the 
course  of  this  speech  Dean  Reed  said: 
"In  no  eastern  university  are  there  men 
of  such  grain,  such  serious  intent  and  earn- 
est purpose  and  serious  attention  to  duty 
as  we  have  in  the  University  of  Michigan. 
We  have  some  students,  of  course,  who 
would  be  better  adorning  their  homes,  but 
I  have  been  impressed  with  the  large  class 
of  men  of  the  character  I  have  mentioned 
who  are  in  attendance." 

Hon.  Samuel  L.  Powers,  a  graduate  of 
Dartmouth,  discussed  the  wonderful  growth 
of  the  western  universities,  which  he  as- 
cribed to  the  fact  that  they  were  under 
state  charge  as  a  part  of  a  great  educational 
system.  Other  speakers  were  George  E. 
Dawson,  '87,  of  Mt  Holyokc,  the  Rev. 
Frederick  M.  White,  '94,  of  Winthrop,  and 
Professor  Arthur  Fairbanks,  Director  of 
the  Boston  Museum  of  Fine  Arts.  Daniel 
C.  Remick,  '78/,  of  Littleton.,  N.  H.,  was 
toastmaster. 

The    following    officers    were    elected:

THE  INDIANAPOLIS  BANQUET 

The  alumni  of  the  University  residing 
in  Indianapolis  met  Friday,  April  17,  at 
the  annual  banquet  at  the  Commercial 
Club.  Dean  John  O.  Reed  represented  the 
University  and  gave  statistics  upon  the 
phenomenal  growth  of  state  universities, 
compared  with  endowed  institutions,  and 
showed  that  state  universities  during  the 
last  five  years  had  grown  at  rates  ranging 
from  22%  to  67%,  while  the  highest  range 
of  growth  of  endowed  universities  was 
36%.  He  stated  "that  the  amount  of  tax- 
ation in  the  interest  of  education  which 
the  pe^le  will  stand  is  almost  beyond  be- 
lief. The  state  university  is  to  be  the 
ideal  university  of  the  future — as  repre- 
senting economic  conditions  and  competent 
expert  administration." 

Charles  F.  Remy,  '88/,  former  reporter 
of  the  Indiana  Supreme  Court,  compared 
Indiana  University  with  Michigan,  and  ad- 
vocated a  definite  tuition  fee,  as  at  the 
University  of  Michigan.  Alfred  F.  Potts, 
/'75-'76,  spoke  on  "Her  Evolution";  Helen 
Rose  Lang,  '00,  on  "The  Debt  of  the 
Alumnus";  and  Dr.  Herman  A.  Helming, 
'04m,  on  "Michigan  Athletics."  David  W. 
Allerdice,  'loe,  of  the  football  team,  C  N.

THE  CHICAGO  ALUMNI  DINNER 

The  annual  dinner  of  the  Chicago  Alumni 
Association  of  the  University  of  Michigan 
was  held  at  the  Mid-day  Club,  Chicago,  on 
the  evening  of  Saturday,  April  25th,  with 
nearly  300  present.  In  every  feature  the 
high  standard  set  by  the  last  dinner  of 
the  association  was  maintained,  and  the 
unusually  large  attendance  of  enthusiastic 
alumni  made  the  occasion  a  notable  one  in 
the  history  of  Michigan  gatherings  in  Chi- 
cago. 

The  speakers  of  the  evening  were  Pres- 
ident Angdl,  and  Dean  Reed  from  the 
campus.  Regent  Peter  White,  Professor 
Howard  B.  Smith  of  the  University  of 
Wisconsin,  Frank  F.  Reed,  '80,  of  the  Chi- 
cago bar,  and  Judge  Charles  S.  Cutting, 
LL.D.  '07,  of  Chicago.  The  retiring  pres- 
ident of  the  association,  Mr.  John  D.  Hib- 
bard,  '87^,  acted  as  toastmaster. 

President  Angell's  words,  spoken  with 
the  charm  that  binds  Michigan  men  every- 
where to  the  "grand  old  man"  of  the  Uni- 
versity, were  enthusiastically  received.  "I'm 
inclined  to  think  that  most  of  the  state 
universities  are  suffering  from  excessive 
attendance,"  said  Dr.  Angell.  "It  is  ap- 
parent to  me  that  one  of  die  greatest  prob- 
lems now  before  the  universities  of  the 
nation  during  the  next  twenty  years  is 
how  to  administer  these  rapidly  growing 
institutions  properly.  The  passion  for  a 
higher  education  which  abounds  in  the  mid- 
dle West,  the  country's  prosperity,  the  idea 
that  many  young  persons  cherish  as  to  the 
value  of  this  education  all  combine  to  aug- 
ment the  enrollment" 

President  Angell  referred  to  the  seem- 
ingly inadequate  appropriations  for  meet- 
ing these  heavier  burdens  and  advocated 
just  the  same  that  the  ideals  upon  which 
the  institutions  had  grown  and  flourished 
in  the  past  should  be  held  tenaciously  in 
sight.  He  felt  that  the  problem  would  thus 
be  settled  in  the  right  way. 


Dean  Reed's  sparkling  comment  on  the 
incidents  of  his  recent  eastern  trip,  and 
praise  of  state  universities  in  general  and 
our  own  in  particular  won  him  a  high 
place  in  the  regard  of  Chicago  Alumni. 
Mr.  Frank  Reed  spoke  effectively  of  Mich- 
igan spirit  and  ideals. 

Professor  Smith's  talk  on  "A  College 
Course  as  a  Substitute  for  an  Education" 
was  a  forceful  criticism  of  some  modem 
educational  tendencies,  well  illustrated  by 
amusing  excerpts  from  recent  examination 
papers  in  the  "practical  business"  courses, 
which  have  been  added  to  the  curriculum 
of  many  universities  in  late  years.  Judge 
Cutting  closed  the  evening's  speechmaking 
with  a  graceful  acknowledgment  of  the  de- 
gree of  "Doctor  of  Laws"  recently  con- 
ferred upon  him  by  the  Board  of  Regents 
at  the  suggestion  of  Chicago  Alumm.  It 
was  apparent  that  "Doctor"  Cutting's  new 
degree  has  given  Michigan  a  most  enthus- 
iastic alumnus. 

The  excellent  singing  of  a  "close  har- 
mony" table  under  the  leadership  of  "Tom- 
my" Roberts,  '04,  was  a  novel  feature  in 
the  evening's  entertainment,  and  a  large 
factor  in  the  succesis  of  the  banquet 

Before  adjournment,  Mr.  Pliny  B.  Smith, 
*72l,,  offered  resolutions  upon  the  death  of 
Charles  B.  Keeler,  '73,  which  were  unani- 
mously adopted,  after  which  the  following 
officers  were  elected  for  the  ensuing  year: 
William  D.  Washburn,  '79,  r8i-'82.  Presi- 
dent; G.  Fred  Rush,  '89,  Vice-President; 
Harry  M.  Sedgwick,  '00^,  Treasurer;  Sam- 
uel E.  Thomason,  '04,  Secretary. 

Granville  W.  Browning  of  the  class  of 
1877,  offered  the  following  resolution,  and 
moved  that  it  be  adopted. 

Resolved:  That  the  Michigan  Alumni 
of  Chicago  congratulate  the  Athletic  auth- 
orities of  the  University  of  Michigan  upon 
the  stand  they  have  taken  in  upholding  a 
sane  and  vigorous  athletic  policy,  and  en- 
dorse their  position,  particularly  in  with- 
drawing from  the  Conference  until  the 
Conference  or  any  organization  succeeding 
it,  shall  adopt  a  reasonable  policy  in  re- 
gard to  the  playing  of  footbsdl. 

Resolved:  That  a  copy  of  this  resolu- 
tion be  sent  to  the  Board  of  Control  of  the 
University. 

The  motion  was  seconded  and  carried 
unanimously  with  great  cheering.

OBITUARIES 


LUCIAN  CALEB  BLANCHARD 

Lucian  Caleb  Blanchard  was  bom  on  a 
farm  in  New  York  State,  April  15,  1859, 
the  youngest  of  a  family  of  six  diildren. 
In  1858,  when  he  was  seventeen  years  old, 
he  started  West  studying  and  teaching 
school,  residing  for  a  time  at  Mt  Morris, 
111.,  where  he  attended  the  Rock  River  Sem- 
inary. Early  in  i860  he  was  attracted  to 
Colorado  by  the  discovery  of  gold,  return- 
ing eastward,  however,  in  less  than  a  year. 
During  the  Rebellion  he  enlisted  in  the 
28th  Iowa  Volunteer  Infatry,  taking  part 
among  other  campaigns,  in  the  siege  and 
capture  of  Vicksburg.  After  the  fall  of 
Vicksburg  he  was  discharged  on  account 
of  disability,  and  entered  the  Law  Depart- 
ment of  the  University  of  Michigan,  from 
which  he  was  graduated  in  1866.  He  im- 
mediately returned  to  Iowa,  where  he  op- 
ened a  law  office  in  Montezuma,  and  where 
in  1867  he  became  Judge  of  the  Jasper 
County  Court.  In  1868  he  became  Circuit 
Judge,  being  re-elected  in  1872  and  1876. 
In  1874  he  removed  to  Oskaloosa,  retiring 
from  the  bench  in  1880,  continuing  however 
in  the  practice  of  the  law,  and  serving  also 
as  State  Representative  and  later  State 
Senator.     He  was  prominent  in   Masonic 


circles  and  was  a  member  of  the  G.  A.  R. 
Judge  Blanchard  was  married  three  times. 
His  first  wife,  to  whom  he  was  married 
Jan.  13,  1870,  was  Sarah  Kilbum,  to  which 
union  two  children  were  born.  After  the 
death  of  his  first  wife,  he  was  married  in 
1886  to  Jozelle  Williams,  and  on  Sept  29, 
1894,  to  Dr.  May  Farmer  of  Kirksville, 
Mo.,  who  with  his  two  children  survive 
him.  He  died  suddenly  March  i,  1908,  fol- 
lowing an  attack  of  angina  pectoris.

graduated  from  the  South  Bend  High 
School,  later  attending  Cornell,  Yale,  and 
the  University  of  Michigan,  from  which 
he  was  graduated  in  the  Law  Department 
in  1883.  He  began  the  practice  of  the  law 
the  same  year.  In  1886  he  was  elected 
State's  Attorney  for  St.  Joseph  and  LaPorte 
Counties.  He  was  elected  to  Congress  in 
1898,  and  at  every  election  since  that  time 
he  was  renominated  by  acclamation  by 
the  Republican  party  and  elected.  In  Con- 
gress he  was  a  member  of  the  committees

Michigan  Infantry  in  1862,  organizing  a 
company  among  his  pupils  of  the  Ypsi- 
lanti High  School.  For  conspicuous  and 
gallant  acts  he  was  promoted  through  the 
various  ranks  until  he  became  Colonel  of 
the  27th  Michigan  Infantry.  In  1864  he 
was  put  in  command  of  the  Second  Bri- 
gade, 9th  Division  Corps,  Army  of  the  Po- 
tomac, where  he  was  in  command  until 
the  close  of  the  war  when  he  was  breveted 
Brigadier  General  and  awarded  a  medal  for 
gallantry  by  Congress.  He  retumed  to 
Ypsilanti  in  1865,  where  he  took  up  the 
study  of  law  and  in  1866  was  graduated 
from  the  Law  School  of  the  University. 
^Shortly  after  this  time  he  removed  to 
Manistee,  where  he  became  prominent  in 
various  city  offices,  as  well  as  member  of 
the  Board  of  Control  of  Railroads  from 
1866  to  1883;  Presidential  Elector  in  1868; 
and  Regent  of  the  University  from  1876

49th,  50th,  and  51st  Congresses.  For  some 
time  he  was  chairman  of  the  house  Com- 
mittee on  Military  Affairs,  and  on  his  re- 
tirement from  Congress  he  was  appointed 
by  President  Harrison  Chairman  of  the 
Board  of  Ordnance  and  Fortifications. 
Four  years  ago  he  retired  from  active  pro- 


fessional life,  passing  most  of  his  time  in 
Ypsilanti,  where  he  died  of  a  complication 
of  diseases,  Sunday,  April  12,  1908.  He 
was  married  June  22,  1863,  to  Marie  Annie

immediately  entered  the  University  of 
Michigan.  He  gave  up  his  college  work 
however  at  the  end  of  his  junior  year, 
taking  a  position  with  the  Home  Fire  In- 
surance Company  of  New  York  in  the 
Chicago  office,  where  he  remained  from 
1869  to  1873.  He  then  began  the  study

bar  in  1875  and  where  he  resided  for  thir- 
teen years.  In  1888  he  removed  to  Mil- 
waukee, and  with  his  brother,  Joseph  V.

ity by  his  fellow-members  of  the  bar,  es- 
pecially on  corporation  law  to  which  he 
had  given  especial  attention.  He  was  a  pro- 
nounced Republican  in  politics,  although  he 
never  held  office  except  as  member  of  the 
School  Board  in  the  spring  of  1897.  He

Wisconsin  law  suits.  He  was  a  member

waukee Yacht  Clubs.  He  was  married  in 
1861  to  Emma  W.  Thiers  of  Kenosha,  to

BOOK  REVIEWS 


Th«  Alumnus  reviews  recently  published  works  by  tlumni,  former  students,  or  members  of  the 
Faculty,  snd  works  directly  relating  to  the  Unirersity.  Copies  of  such  books,  sent  for  review,  are 
placed  in  the  Alumni  l4brary  in  the  Alumni  Room. 


CHAPTERS  IN   RURAL  PROGRESS 

This  book  presents  some  of  the  phases 
of  the  rural  problem  and  indicates  the 
agencies  now  at  work,  attempting  to  solve 
them,  such  as  the  church,  the  school,  the 
grange,  the  telephone,  farmers'  institute  and 
agricultural  college.  The  main  theme  is 
an  argument  for  a  more  exhaustive  edu- 
cation for  the  farmer,  in  which  the  author 
makes  a  strong  plea  for  the  application 
of  the  "social"  sciences  to  the  life  of  the 
farmer  and  his  wife,  maintaining  that  this 
is  more  important  in  solving  the  rural 
problem,  than  the  application  of  the  knowl- 
edge of  the  "natural"  sciences.  An  outline 
for  a  course  in  agricultural  economics  and 
for  a  course  in  rural  sociology  is  included. 

While  the  book  is  undeniably  interest- 
ing, one  wonders  how  the  practical  farmer, 
to  whom  the  raising  of  crops  must  of  ne- 
cessity be  the  first  consideration,  can  ever 
find  time  to  be  even  partially  informed  on 
a  few  of  the  lines  indicated  in  the  book.

EARTHQUAKES 

This  book  by  Professor  Hobbs  is  in- 
tended for  use  as  a  text  book  and  as  a 
book  for  general  readers.  The  different 
chapters  discuss  the  history  of  earthquake 
theories,  the  cause  of  earthquakes,  the  na- 
ture of  shocks  and  their  relations  to  fis- 
sures and  faults,  the  disturbance  of  ground 
water  by  earthquakes,  the  disturbance  of 
the  ocean  during  shocks,  etc.  Especial  at- 
tention is  paid  to  the  modern  forms  of 
earthquake  recording  instruments,  seismo- 
graphs, and  the  development  of  the  "new 
seismology,"  by  which  the  position,  char- 
acter and  intensity  of  shocks  arc  deter- 
mined at  stations  half  a  world  away  from 
the  seat  of  disturbance.  Perhaps  this  is 
the  most  fascinating  phase  of  the  later 
work  on  earthquakes  and  Professor  Hobbs 
book  makes  it  possible  for  the  laymen  to 
get  a  glimpse  at  the  way  it  is  done.  For 
the  use  of  students  there  is  a  careful  ac- 
count of  the  modem  instruments  in  use 
and  instructions  as  to  what  to  observe  in 
studying  a  region  that  has  been  visited  by 
an  earthquake. 

Particular  stress  is  laid  upon  the  dis- 
tributoin  of  shocks  in  a  linear  way  as  em- 
phasizing the  theory,  for  which  Dr.  Hchhs 
is  responsible,  that  earthquakes  do  not  orig- 


inate in  a  single  center  but  in  readjustment 
of  the  earth's  crust  in  great  blocks,  to  re- 
lieve accumulating  strains. 

The  book  has  received  a  very  large  num- 
ber of  favorable  reviews  both  in  America 
and  Europe  all  going  to  show  that  Dr. 
Hobbs'  new  theory  is  gaining  considerable 
support  from  those  interested  in  the  study 
of  earthquakes. 

The  illustrations  both  for  the  plates  and 
the  text  figures  are  well  chosen  and  ad- 
mirably executed  and  this  with  the  clear 
typography  gives  the  book  a  most  pleasing 
appearance.  E.  C.  C.

DENNISON'S  LIVY 

Professor  Dennison's  Livy  is  the  first 
book  in  Macmillan's  new  series  of  Latin 
classics.  The  mention  of  a  new  series  may, 
for  the  moment,  strike  the  classicist  who 
cares  less  for  the  letter  than  the  life  with 
fresh  discontent  For  new  editions  and 
new  series  pour  steadily  forth  prepared 
with  an  erudition  sometimes  appalling.  The 
progress  of  research  in  recent  years  has 
led  overzealous  editors  to  bring  into  their 
books  intended  for  college  classes  a  mass 
of  palaeographical,  philological,  and  histori- 
cal data  irrelevant  to  the  text  which  the 
conscientious  pupil  cannot  read,  and  the 
conscientious  teacher  will  not 

But  the  aim  of  this  series  is  to  prepare 
for  the  use  of  younger  college  students  a 
number  of  authors  carefully  edited  along 
the  lines  of  brevity,  simplicity,  but  still 
exact  scholarship.  These  qualities  charac- 
terize Professor  Dennison's  book.  The 
Introduction  deals  clearly  and  concisely 
with  the  life,  works,  sources,  style,  manu- 
scripts, and  early  legends  of  Livy.  Besides 
the  first  book  entire,  there  are  selections 
or  complete  episodes,  comprising  the  most 
interesting  matter,  from  books  two  to  ten. 
The  commentary  indicates  the  literary  and 
historical  setting  of  each  selection  and  gives 
bibliographical  help.  Among  the  episodes 
are  the  story  of  the  Tarquinii  in  their  strug- 
gle to  retain  the  throne  and  their  appeal 
to  Lars  Porsenna  of  Clusium;  the  battle 
of  Lake  Regullus ;  the  struggle  between  the 
orders  and  the  election  of  the  tribune  of 
the  plebs;  the  dictatorship  of  Cindnnatus; 
the  rule  of  the  decemvirs ;  the  fall  of  Veii ;

What  Univcnity  of  Michigan   GraJnates  Say  Ahout 

THE  THURSTON 
Teachers'  Agency 

Join  the  Agency  that  Pereooally  Reconmeode 

"  During  my  la«t  year  at  the  Unireraity  of  Michi- 
gan I  joined  seyeral  prominent  teachers'  agencies, 
and  wrote  many  applications  for  positions  as 
notices  of  vacancies  came.  I  finally  secured  a 
position,  but  not  by  reason  of  assistance  from  any 
of  them.  Being  still  anxious  for  advancement,  but 
now  somewhat  skeptical  as  to  the  helpfulness  of 
agencies,  I  was  induced  by  a  friend  to  try  Miss 
'Hiurston's.  In  a  short  time  I  was  elected  to  a  posi- 
tion at  a  larger  salary  than  I  had  ever  before  drawn 
in  teaching  profession. 

"If  you  want  a  position,  join  Miss  Thurston's 
Agency;  if  you  enjoy  an  extended  correspondence, 
(oin  the  others."       Commissioner  op  Schools, 
Hillsdale,  Michigan 

"  I  hold  my  present  position  as  language  teacher 
in  the  high  school  of  East  Chicago,  Ind.,  as  the  result 
of  an  application  through  the  Thurston  Agency." 

High  School,  JoUet,  111.—"  I  received  my  position 
through  the  Agency  of  Miss  Anna  M.  Thurston. 
She  seems  to  me  to  keep  in  touch  with  the  best 
schools  In  this  part  of  the  country,  and  shows  per- 
sonal interest  in  those  for  whom  she  is  working." 

Do  not  wait  until  the  beat  positions  are  filled.

Because  they  are  made  by  a  firm  that  has  had  over 
thirty  years  of  experience  in  the  manufacture  of 
ball  players'  needs,  under  the  direct  supervision  of 
Mr.  A.  G,  Spalding,  whose  career  on  the  diamond 
(pitcher  of  the  champion  Boston  team,  i872«73-74- 
75,  and  the  pennant  winning  Chicago  team  of 
1876)  renders  him  especially  fitted  to  know  what  a 
ball  player  requires. 

The  Spalding  Official  National  League  Ball 
has  been  the  Official  Ball  of  the  National 
League  for  over  thirty  years.

A  PEN  IN  A  GLASS  BY  ITSELF 

There's  no  pen  that  gives  such  all-round  satisfaction 
as  Conklin's  Self-Filling  Fountain  Pen.  It*s  in  a  distinct 
class  by  itself.  It's  the  College  Standard.  Doesn't  matter 
where  you  are — in  your  room,  lecture  hall,  or  on  the  train 
— you  can  fill  it  instantly  by  dipping  in  any  ink-well.  A 
slight  thumb  pressure  on  the  Crescent-Filler  does  it. 
Cleaned  in  the  same  simple,  easy  way. 

Gonklin's  mti  Fountain  Pen 

"THE  PEN  WITH  THE  CRESCENT-FILLER" 

has  won  distinction  the  world  over.  For  student,  professor, 
business  man,  professional  man,  and  for  the  man  who  moves 
about,  it  is  the  only  pen.  No  mussy  dropper,  nothing  to  screw 
or  unscrew,  no  tool  kit,  no  inky  fingers.  Ink  flows  as  smoothly 
as  aprize  essay.     No  stops,  no  blots,  b|Iks  or  scratches. 

Leading  dealers  handle  the  Conklin.  If  yours  does  not,  order  direct. 
Look  for  the  Crescent-Filler  and  refuse  substitutes.  Prices,  $3.00,  $4.00, 
$5.00  to  $15.00.    Send  at  once  for  handsome  new  catalog.

subscribe  for  a  technical  paper  as  soon  as  he  has  chosen  his  profession.  Generally  speaking,  lie  will  continue 
to  sulMcrilic  until  he  ceasesi  to  grow."

should  be  a  subscriber  for  one  of  the  following  papers— the  standard  authorities  in  their  respective  fields  : 
ELECTRICAL  WORLD— Weekly  edition,  $3.00;  Monthly  edition,  $1.00.    The  foremost  authority  on  electircal

Three  danger  signals  ignored  by  the  lawyer  who  relies 
upon  out  of  date  text-books  and  encyclopedias.  To  use 
such  books  is  to  jeopardize  the  interests  of  your  client  and 
minimize  your  own  success.

The 

1908  Michiganensian 

The  Sole  Annual  for  the  Collie  Year  Just  Closing 

IS  NOW  ON  SALE 

The  Michiganensian  is  the  bridge  over  which  every  Michigan  man 
crosses  from  his  University  world  of  theory  and  ideals  to  the  greater  world  of 
practice  and  realization. 

Every  Member  of  the  Senior  Class  should  carry  away  a 
copy  of  the  1908  Year  Book  from  the  University  he  is  about  to  leave.  Wouldn't 
you  like  to  keep  a  picture  of  all  your  classmates,  old  friends,  old  scenes,  and 
the  old  hfe  at  Michigan  ?     They  are  all  in  the  Michiganensian. 

Every  Undergraduate  should  purchase  a  Michiganensian  each 
year  and  preserve  an  official  record  of  his  four  years'  life  at  Michigan.  It 
furnishes  the  most  convenient  form  of  college  scrap  book. 

The  Alumni  are  enabled  to  get  back  into  the  University  atmos- 
phere through  the  pages  of  the  1908  Michiganensian. 

It^s  a  book  you'll  enjoy  and  prize,  now  and  in  the  future.  G)ntains  the 
record  of  the  year's  activities,  narrated,  illustrated  and  cartooned — pichires  of 
varsity  and  class  teams,  organizations  and  dass  officers — lists  of  all  organiza- 
tions— pichires  of  games,  meets,  including  the  1907  Cambridge  meet,  rushes, 
campus  views,  Michigenda, — everything  that  could  be  photographed — portraits 
of  all  the  outgoing  seniors, — the  best  amateur  drawings  and  illustrations  ever 
used  in  a  Michigensian,  and  three  admirable  pieces  of  professional  work, — a 
College  Days  section  that  you  will  read  and  reread  with  delight — the  whole 
carefully  indexed  and  paged  by  sections,  so  you  will  have  no  difficulty  this  year 
in  locating  the  information  you  want — 532  pages  in  all — and  tastefully  bound 
in  blue  leather  or  gray  buckram,  whichever  you  prefer,  with  an  artistic  and 
striking  cover  design  in  yellow  nnd  blue,  with  gold  stamping.  The  1908 
Michiganensian  will  prove  an  artistic  and  valuable  addition  to  every  Michigan 
man's  library. 

Orders  from  out  of  the  city  filled  until  the  supply  is  exhausted:  only  1,200 

copies  hate  been  printed,  so  order  early.

We  have  also  to  fill  several  places  in  large  Normal  Schools  where  University 
men  are  wanted  to  give  a  Teachers'  Training  Coarse  in  Shorthand.    These  places 
are  especially  desirable.    Our  Shorthand  Training  Course  fits  one  to  do  such  work.

Special  Proposition  to  Senior  Lits 

who  expect  to  teach  as  well  as  for  those  who  have  graduated  and  are  already

WkitUniTcnity  of  Michigui   GraJualct  Say  About 

THE  THURSTON 
Teachers'  Agency 

Jola  tht  Agency  that  Pertonally  Recommendt 

'*  During  my  last  year  at  the  UniTcrtity  of  Michi- 
gan I  joined  tereral  prominent  teachers'  agencies, 
and  wrote  many  applications  for  positions  as 
notices  of  vacancies  came.  I  finally  secured  a 
position,  but  not  by  reason  of  assistance  from  any 
•f  them.  Being  still  anxious  for  advancement,  but 
now  somewhat  skeptical  as  to  the  helpfulness  of 
agencies,  I  was  induced  by  a  friend  to  try  Miss 
Thurston's.  In  a  short  time  I  was  elected  to  a  posi- 
tion at  a  larger  salary  than  I  had  ever  before  drawn 
in  teaching  profession. 

"If  you  want  a  position,  join  Miss  Thurston's 
Agency;  ifyou  enjoy  an  extended  correspondence, 
join  the  others."       Commissioned  op  Schooi^, 
Hillsdale,  Michigan 

'*  I  hold  my  present  position  as  language  teacher 
in  the  high  school  of  East  Chicaso,  Ind.,  as  the  result 
of  an  application  through  the  Thurston  Agency." 

High  School,  Joliet,  HI.—"  I  received  myposition 
through  the  Agency  of  Miss  Anna  M.  Thurston. 
She  seems  to  me  to  keep  in  touch  with  the  best 
schools  in  this  part  of  the  country,  and  shows  per- 
sonal interest  in  those  for  whom  she  is  working." 

Do  not  wait  until  the  beM  positions  are  filled.

The  old  time  thoroughness  in  the  Classics  and  other  Culture 
Studies  is  maintained.

EVENT  AND  COMMENT 


As  published  in  the 
MiLWADBf  report  of  the  May 
RBSiGNATiON  meeting  of  the  Re- 
gents in  another  col- 
umn, Mr.  Wade  submitted  at  that  time 
his  resignation,  which  was  accepted. 
The  circumstances  which  prompted 
this  action  have  not  been  made  public, 
and  we  therefore  have  no  way  of 
knowing  the  exact  facts,  but  what- 
ever prompted  this  action  it  must  be 
a  cause  of  deep  regret  to  all  friends 
of  the  University  and  Mr.  Wade. 
Tliis  conclusion  to  a  long  period  of 
service,  the  value  of  which  to  the  Uni- 
versity cannot  be  questioned,  has  an 
atmosphere  of  tragedy  which  we  fear 
will  remain,  whatever  the  eventual 
finding  of  the  committee  appointed  by 
the  Regents  may  be.  We  do  not  seek 
to  sit  in  judgment  in  this  most  unfor- 
tunate matter;  the  actual  facts  even 
as  far  as  they  are  known  have  not 
been  made  public,  and  under  such  cir- 
cumstances we  must  condemn  strongly 
the  premature  publication  of  alleged 
charges  in  the  newspapers  before  they 
were  presented  to  the  Regents  by  the 
Attorney  General,  and  duly  acted 
upon. 

The   fifteen   students 
STAR  THBATBR  implicated  in  the  re- 
AFFAIRBNDBD  cent   disturbance  be- 
fore the  Star  theater, 
bound  over  upon  examination  to  the 
circuit  court,  were  discharged  May  8 
by  Judge  Kinne,    and    the    criminal 


charges  aginst  them  were  dismissed 
upon  the  payment  of  damages  and 
costs,  which  approximated  $i,ooa 
This  sum  was  raised  entirely  by  popu- 
lar subscription  among  the  students 
in  the  University.  The  principal 
items  included  were  the  damages  to 
the  buildings,  amounting  to  $615.55, 
and  the  justice's  and  officers'  fees, 
$208.50.  C  We  feel  that  the  stu- 
dents had  little  to  complain  of  in  this 
action  on  the  part  of  the  city  author- 
ities, as  the  offense  would  certainly 
have  justified  more  drastic  measures. 
There  can  be  no  real  excuse  for  the 
action  of  the  students,  although  the 
character  of  the  resort  which  was  at- 
tadced  and  the  ill  nature  of  its  pro- 
prietor imdoubtedly  had  some  effect 
in  minimizing  the  offence  and  ren- 
dered a  settlement  easier.  The  lesson, 
however,  has  been  well  impressed  and 
for  several  student  generations,  at 
least,  there  will  be  no  recourse  to  mob 
rule.  Any  further  action  in  the  mat- 
ter now  rests  with  the  University 
authorities. 


A  WORD 
IN  TIMB 


For  many  years  we 
have  been  peculiarly 
fortunate  at  Michi- 
gan in  that  we  have 
had  no  fires  on  the  Campus,  especially 
since  we  are  almost  totally  unpre- 
pared for  a  serious  conflagration.  But 
this  is  not  the  worst.  Recent  assem- 
blages of  the  size  of  the  County  Fair

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[June 


tival  in  University  Hall  cannot  fail  to 
impress  upon  a  thoughtful  observer 
the  fearful  inadequacy  of  these  build- 
ings in  the  matter  of  exits  alone.  We 
have  spoken  of  University  Hall  in 
these  columns  before,  but  the  conse- 
quences for  which  a  lack  of  prepara- 
tion has  been  responsible  in  several 
recent  examples,  still  in  the  minds  of 
everyone,  make  it  almost  imperative 
that  we  speak  again.  Far  from  de- 
siring to  be  extreme  upon  this  ques- 
tion, we  have  avoided  discussing  it 
until  after  the  May  Festival.  But  in 
commcHi  with  hundreds  of  others,  we 
wish  to  see  something  done.  Univer- 
sity Hall  is  construct^  almost  entirely 
of  wood  with  a  dome  above  which 
forms  practically  an  immense  chim- 
ney. While  there  are  many  exits,  the 
approaches  are,  in  most  cases,  either 
through  windows,  twisted  passage- 
ways, or  else  are  seriously  blocked 
by  the  seating  arrangements.  C  l^wo 
immediate  remedies  might  be  suggest- 
ed ;  first,  more  outside  stairways,  espe- 
cially two  leading  out  from  the  stair- 
ways at  the  sides  of  the  gallery,  and 
second,  and  in  our  mind  most  im- 
perative, a  rearrangement  of  the  seats, 
doing  away  with  5ie  tong  rows  con- 
taining from  twenty  to  thirty  seats. 
The  sedition  of  two  more  door-ways 
at  the  rear  of  the  room  into  the  hall- 
way, where  the  new  stairways  have 
been  placed,  with  new  aisles  leading 
to  them,  and  the  removal  of  the  coti- 
paratively  useless  steps  at  either  side 
of  the  rostrum,  where  they  form  an 
added  obstruction  to  free  access  to 
the  front  exits,  would  also  help  mat- 
ters considerably.  Such  changes  as 
these  are  doubly  necessary  at  such  an 
overcrowded  time  as  the  May  Festival, 
especially  when  the  immense  stage  is 
built  right  out  in  the  center  of  the 
auditorium.  C  But  even  more  dan- 
gerous are  Waterman  and  Barbour 
Gymnasiums  at  such  times  as  the  re- 
cent County  Fair  when  the  two  Gjrm- 
nasiums  and  Sarah  Caswell  Angell 
Hall  were  crowded  to  almost  twice 


the  proper  limit  of  their  opacity,  with 
thirty  or  forty  flimsy  bo6ths  taking 
up  additional  floor  space.  It  is  our 
opinion  that  until  more  adequate  pro- 
vision is  made  for  exits,  there  should 
be  no  repetition  of  the  County  Fair, 
or,  in  fact,  anything  of  a  similar  char- 
acter such  as  the  Jimior  Hop  or  the 
receptions  at  which  booths  are  erected 
with  scantling  and  a  generous  use  of 
bunting.  Waterman  G3rmnasium  at 
the  time  of  the  County  Fair  was  also 
absolutely  without  a  practicable  exit 
for  the  immense  crowds  inside  num- 
bering well  into  the  thousands.  It 
took  twenty  minutes  to  enter  through 
one  narrow  doorway  of  Waterman 
Gymnasium.  If  there  had  been  a 
frenzied  mob  inside,  as  is  easily  con- 
ceivable, the  winding  passage  to  the 
doorway  would  inevitably  have  been 
blocked.  The  windows  are  too 
high  to  be  very  serviceable  in  emer- 
gencies, and  would  certainly  be  out 
of  the  question,  for  women,  so  that  if 
a  fire  should  start  among  the  highly 
inflammable  booths  and  decorations  at 
either  the  J  Hop  or  County  Fair  the 
result  could  not  fail  to  be  a  repetition 
of  the  Bazaar  fire  of  Paris.  It  would 
be  fearfully  easy  to  start.  C  The  in- 
ference is  obvious.  For  use  as  a 
gymnasium  pure  and  simple  the  exits 
to  Waterman  and  Barbour  g)rmna- 
siums  are  undoubtedly  sufficient,  but 
neither  Gymnasium  should  ever  be 
used  for  any  other  purpose,  imtil  ade- 
quate exits  are  provided.  A  compar- 
atively small  outlay  would  suffice, 
however,  to  insure  arrangements  suit- 
able for  any  emergency. 


The    Michiganensian 
THE  190S  MICH-  of  the  Class  of  1908 
IGANBNSIAN      appeared      Tuesday, 
May  5,    and    proved 
a  creditable  representative  of  a  useful 
branch  of  undergraduate  journalism, 
which  involves  no  little  financial  re- 
sponsibility.    The  present  issue  is  a 
straight-forward  record  of  the  various

college  activities  with  pictures  of  the 
members  of  the  senior  class  and  the 
important  organizations.  Statistics 
regarding  various  athletic  events  are 
also  given,  with  pictures  of  the  teams. 
The  fraternities,  as  usual,  are  repre- 
sented. The  book  on  the  whole  is 
well  printed  and  bound  and  is  a  credit 
from  a  typographical  point  of  view,  to 
the  editorial  board.  C  It  is  not  diffi- 
cult to  criticise  a  book  of  this  charac- 
ter and  in  certain  aspects  the  volume 
for  the  present  year  would  not  be  en- 
tirely exempt.  We  rgret  the  lack  of 
a  certain  imaginative  quality  which 
might  make  such  a  volume,  in  its  best 
sense,  more  nearly  representative  of 
the  student  body.  This,  of  course,  is 
a  difficult  flavor  to  include  by  prescrip- 
tion, but  we  believe  this  deficiency 
may  be  offered  as  a  general  criticism 
of  all  the  Michigan  year  books  which 
have  been  published  so  far.  The 
half-tone  illustrations  are  in  many 
cases  far  from  perfect,  it  is  perhaps 
in  some  of  the  student  drawings, 
headings  for  chapters,  etc.,  that  a  cer- 
tain undergraduate  and  collegiate  fla- 
vor is  lacking.  The  book,  however,  is 
larger  by  some  forty-two  pages  than 
the  volume  of  last  year  and  much  of 
the  material  which  has  been  included 
is  distinctly  advantageous.  One  hun- 
dred and  thirty-two  pages  arc  devoted 
to  the  members  of  the  various  senbr 
classes.  Athletics  call  for  a  reserva- 
tion  of  seventy  paees,  and  the  frater- 
nities ninety-six.  The  book  is  bound 
in  two  styles,  in  leather  at  $2.25  and 
in  cloth  at  $1.50.  The  editors  are  as 
follows:  Oscar  L.  Boose,  '08/,  Man- 
aging Editor;  James  W.  McCandless, 
'(^,  Business  Manager,  and  James 
Frederick  Woodruff,  '08,  Art  Editor. 


In  such  a  great  un- 
PINB  ARTS  AND  dcrtaking  as  the  an- 
THB  UNiVBRSiTYnual    May    Festival, 

Michigan  realizes  one 
of  the  most  inspiring  possibilities  of 
a  university.     Through  a  consistent 


and  intelligent  effort  along  with  the 
establishment  of  a  music-loving  pub- 
lic of  cultivated  taste,  we  have  been 
able  to  bring  the  best  in  the  musical 
world  to  Ann  Arbor.  Indeed  one 
rarely  hears  a  more  satisfactory  con- 
cert than  Faust  as  sung  Saturday 
night,  May  16.  The  reaction  of  such 
a  series  of  concerts  as  these  the  Musi- 
cal Society  has  given  us  through  the 
last  nineteen  years,  170  in  all,  luS  been 
marked  and  has  had  a  cultural  vaLue 
which  we  cannot  afford  to  lose. 
C  This  success  in  the  musical  world, 
however,  serves  to  point  our  failure 
in  the  study  of  fine  art,  another,  and 
in  the  minds  of  some,  an  equally  im- 
portant cultural  study.  This,  of 
course,  is  but  an  exemplification  in 
the  university  world,  of  what  we  fear 
is  too  apt  to  be  the  general  attitude 
of  the  American  public.  While  it  is 
true  that  we  must  recognize  at  once  an 
unfortunate  limitation  of  the  subject 
in  that  it  can  be  studied  for  the  most 
part  only  at  second  hand,  through 
photographs  and  reprbductbns,  the 
study  is  nevertheless  worth  while, 
even  necessary,  to  a  well-rounded  uni- 
versity training.  Yet  most  American 
universities  have  failed  to  gfive  any- 
thing but  a  most  adventitious  place  to 
the  objective  study  of  the  fine  arts. 
C  The  future  promises,  however,  a 
new  revelation.  The  invention  of  new 
processes  of  reproduction,  especially 
zinc  etching,  ha]f-t(mes,  and  the  three 
color  process,  has  brought  art  im- 
measurably nearer  the  pec^le.  They 
have  made  possible  a  democracy  in 
the  intelligent  study  and  appreciation 
of  art,  instead  of  preserving  its  pleas- 
ures for  the  wealthy  traveler  and  con- 
noiseur  alone.  The  great  develop- 
ment of  journalism  in  this  country, 
especially  the  wonderful  advance 
made  by  the  illustrated  monthlies  and 
weeklies,  is  having  an  untold  influence 
toward  educating  the  people  in  the 
appreciation  of  the  best  in  art.  C  We 
must  be  prepared  therefore  to  answer 
an  inevitable  demand  for  broader  cul-

tural  courses.  In  conjunction  with  the 
establishnKnt  of  the  new  Department 
of  Architecture,  we  hope  soon  to  see 
a  professorship  in  the  fine  arts  here. 
Nothing  could  be  more  broadening  or 
inspiring  than  the  study  of  the  influ- 
ence of  Greek  sculpture  and  the  Re- 
naissance upon  modem  sculpture.  The 
development  of  Gothic  architecture  in 
its  relationship  to  the  mediaeval  spirit, 
and  the  inter-relation  of  the  political 
history  of  the  Renaissance  and  Italy, 
with  popes  and  despots  figuring  as 
patrons  of  fine  art  in  one  of  its  few 
supreme  eras,  are  subjects  which  merit 
the  closest  and  most  enthusiastic 
study,  and  worthiest  presentation. 
Nor  in  this  connection  should  we  fail 
to  impress  the  relationship  of  art  to 
the  present  day  world,  its  possibilities 
in  an  age  of  such  keen  mental  activity, 
a  sister  to  science,  as  it  was  to  himian- 
istic  learning  four  hundred  years  ago. 


MOLIBRB'S 

L'AVARl 

MAYS 


Of  the  many  amateur 
dramatic  perform- 
ances with  which  we 
have  been  favored 
this  past  year,  too  favored  think  some, 
none  proved  more  successful  and  de- 
lightful than  MoHere's  "L'Avare," 
presented  May  8  by  the  Cercle  Fran- 
Qais.  The  ability  of  the  whole  cast 
was  exceptional,  to  say  nothing  of 
Professor  Beziat's  masterful  charac- 
terization of  the  old  miser  and  the  ex- 
cellent quality  of  the  French  spdcen, 
while  in  the  careful  attention  to  cos- 
tuming and  characterization  there  was 
a  finish  and  precision  truly  French.  The 
love  affairs  of  Harpagon,  "the  miser," 
of  the  title  role,  do  not  have  quite  the 
broad  setting  of  "Le  Bourgeois  Gen- 
tilhomme,"  the  offering  of  the  Cercle 
last  year.  But  the  subtlety  of  the 
satire  and  the  quiet  drollery  thor- 
oughly Gallic  were  indicated  with  ex- 
ceptional deftness.  Problems  at  which 
a  less  able  company  than  Professor 
Beziat  and  his  fellow  members  of  the 
Cercle  might  well  have  hesitated  were 


solved  to  the  evident  satisfaction  of 
the  audience.  C  The  choice  of 
L'Avare  was  justified  and,  moreover, 
was  a  distinct  advance  over  the 
presentation  of  "Le  Bourgeois  Gentil- 
homme,"  a  year  ago,  undoubtedly  the 
best  amateur  production  of  that  sea- 
son. One  of  the  great  pleasures  of 
the  performance  was  the  exceptional 
purity  of  the  French  which  was  char- 
acterized by  one  cosmopolitan  as  the 
best  French  he  has  ever  heard  outside 
of  Paris.  This  was  especially  true  of 
the  leading  members  of  the  cast,  in- 
cluding, of  course.  Professor  Beziat, 
Mr.  Bowen,  Mr.  More,  Miss  Smoot, 
and  Miss  Munn.  Few  liberties  were 
taken  with  the  text.  The  shifting  of 
the  scene  of  the  fourth  act  from  Har- 
pagon's  house  to  the  garden  was  an 
innovation  upon  classical  traditicm, 
which  proved  not  at  all  unhappy,  and 
in  keeping  with  modem  French  tra- 
dition. C  In  company  with  the  strik- 
ing representation  of  the  old  miser  by 
Professor  Beziat  in  which  he  succeed- 
ed to  a  wonderful  degree  in  suggest- 
ing the  conflict  between  his  avarice 
and  his  senile  affection  for  Mariane, 
without  in  any  way  producing  a  cari- 
cature, Mr.  Bowen  divided  honors  as 
Cleante,  his  extravagant  son,  also 
enamoured  of  Mariane.  Mr.  Bowen's 
vigorous  impersonation  offered  a 
stnking  foil  to  Professor  Beziat's 
somewhat  more  delicate  work  and  to 
the  delightful  charm  of  Miss  Smoot's 
Mariane.  Miss  Munn  was  also  very 
successful  as  Elise,  Harpagon's  daugh- 
ter, while  Mrs.  William  Hoffman,  of 
the  School  of  Music,  also  showed 
great  ability  as  Frosine.  Mr.  Stod- 
dard More  as  Maitre  Jacques,  Harpa- 
gon's  utility  servant,  by  turns  code  or 
cook  or  coachman,  according  to  head- 
gear and  apron,  todc  skillful  advan- 
tage of  the  broadest  comedy  part  in 
the  play.  Mr.  Lyon,  in  the  difficult 
role  of  La  Fleche,  Cleante's  body  ser- 
vant, also  deserves  especial  credit  for 
skillful  and  consistent  work.  One  of 
the  special  charms  of  the  whole  per-

formance,  however,  was  the  careful 
attention  to  the  minor  roles  which  con- 
tributed no  little  to  the  finish  which 
we  have  before  remarked.  The  music 
of  Lulli,  composed  in  1670  for  Le 
Bourgeois  Gentilhomme,  and  orches- 
trated for  the  occasion  by  Professor 
Samuel  P.  Lockwood,  formed  a  note- 
worthy part  of  the  performance.  The 
cast  was  as  follows :  Harpagon,  Pro- 
fessor Beziat;  Cleante,  Edgar  W. 
Bowen,  '10,  Webberville,  Mich.; 
Valere,  Robert  E.  Monroe,  '08;  An- 
selme,  Henry  R.  Carstens,  '09,  De-

Smoot,  '08,  Chicago;  Dame  Claude,

The  fifteenth  annual 
THB  PiPTBBNTH  May  Festival  held 
MAY  FESTIVAL  May  13,  14,  15,  and 
16  was  in  most  re- 
spects a  duplicate  of  the  success 
of  "former  seasons.  The  geiieral 
lines  of  former  festivals  were  fol- 
lowed: five  concerts  were  given,  of 
which  two  were  choral  concerts  at 
which  the  Choral  Union  appeared; 
the  other  concerts  were  orchestral  and 
miscellaneous,  the  Chicago  Orchestra, 
tmder  Frederidc  Stock  playing  at  all 
the  concerts,  and  artists,  Schumann- 
Heink,  Witherspoon,  Edward  John- 
son, Janet  Spencer,  and  others  ap- 
pearing at  different  times. 

One  point  of  difference  between  this 
and  other  festivals  was  in  the  charac- 
ter of  the  programs.  The  choice  of 
orchestral  and  choral  numbers  has 
never  been  so  successful  as  this  year 


and  were  received  with  greater  en- 
thusiasm. The  orchestra  played  the 
first  Schumann-Heink  Symphony 
which  has  been  included  in  a  festival 
program.  Elgar's  character  studies 
in  music,  the  "Theme  with  Variations" 
was  another  orchestral  number  of 
gjeat  interest.  Berlioz  and  Grieg  rep- 
resented the  extremes  of  schools  rep- 
resented on  the  program.  The  choral 
works,  "The  Creation,"  and  "Faust" 
were  also  happily  chosen  and  given 
with  exception^  success.  Of  the  Cre- 
ation it  was  felt  that  this  performance 
proved  that  an  oratio  can  be  sung  in 
a  spirited  and  interesting  manner. 
The  presentation  of  "Faust"  as  a  con- 
cert choral  work  succeeded  brilliantiy. 
Madame  Rider-Kelsey,  Janet  Spencer, 
Edward  Johnson,  and  Herbert  With- 
erspoon sang  the  roles.  The  choral 
work  in  "Faust"  was  as  satisfactory 
as  could  be  desired.  The  male  chorus 
was  exceptionally  good,  receiving  an 
encore  for  the  soldiers'  chorus. 

The  average  attendance  was  above 
the  average.  The  house  was  «old  out 
and  standing  room  taken  for  each  con- 
cert. The  entire  festival  was  a  most 
successful  artistic  undertaking  and  a 
decided  credit  to  the  ability  and  en- 
ergy of  its  promoters. 

One  of  the  most 
THE  FRBSH-  soothing  balms  for 
SOPH  CONTBST  the  peace  of  mind  of 
the  University  was 
furnished  some  two  years  ago  by  the 
Student  Council,  when  it  established 
the  annual  series  of  spring  contests 
to  take  the  place  of  the  picturesque 
but  notorious,  and  even  dangerous, 
custom  of  hair  cutting  between  the 
Sophomore  and  Freshman  classes. 
The  Council  proceeded  upon  the  very 
practical  theory  that  underclass  ener- 
gy required  an  outlet,  and  set  about 
to  answer  the  necessity  by  an  accepta- 
ble and  at  the  same  time  comparatively 
harmless  substitute.  So  far,  its  efforts 
have  proved  remarkably  successful. 
Hair  cutting  has  become  a  tradition.

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[June 


or  for  University  authorities,  a  night- 
mare, of  the  past.  C  While  the  con- 
tests are  carried  out  under  the  same 
arrangements  as  three  years  ago,  the 
details  have  been  somewhat  varied. 
Naturally  the  most  spectacular  has 
been  the  opening  tug  of  war  across 
the  Huron  river.  The  freshmen  won, 
having  a  slight  advantage  in  the  high- 
er bank,  managing  to  pull  the  sixty 
sophomores  waist  deep  into  the  river 
in  less  than  three  minutes,  when  the 
pistol  announced  that  the  freshmen 
had  pulled  the  flag  beyond  the  re- 
quired limit.  C  The  freshmen  were 
also  victors  in  the  three  other  events. 
The  rock  contest,  in  which  one  class 
has  previously  defended  the  Campus 
while  the  other  attempted  to  place  a 
boulder,  weighing  about  six  hundred 
pounds,  on  the  Campus,  proved  to  be 
too  one-sided,  with  the  advantage  al- 
ways with  the  attacking  party,  so  that 
this  year  the  event  was  changed  to  a 
"bag"  fight  in  the  evening  in  Sleepy 
Hollow.  The  two  opposing  classes 
lined  up  on  opposite  sides  of  the  field 
behind  a  row  of  conspicuously  marked 
canvas  bags,  stuffed  with  excelsior. 
Each  side  defended  its  bags  and  cap- 
tured as  many  of  the  enemy's  as  possi- 
ble. After  twenty  minutes  of  good- 
natured  but  earnest  fighting,  the  fresh- 
men won  by  a  score  of  29  to  8.  The 
contest  was  marred  by  little  rough- 
ness and  the  general  expression  was 
that  it  was  a  fair  and  at  the  same 
time  a  very  picturesque  trial  of 
strength.  C  On  the  following  day, 
Saturday,  May  16,  the  freshmen  won 
in  the  two  final  events,  the  relay  races 
and  push  ball  fight.  The  relay  was 
an  obstacle  race  with  high  fences  and 
padded  barrels  over  which  and 
through  which  the  runners  passed,  at 
the  same  time  carrying  a  long  pole 
with  a  banner  at  the  top.  There  were 
three  relays ;  the  first  resulted  in  a  vic- 
tory for  the  freshmen  by  fifty  yards ; 
the  second  resulted  in  a  tie,  while  the 
third  and  decisive  race  resulted  in  a 
lead  of  about  forty    yards    for    the 


freshmen  in  the  final  lap.  The  final 
freshman  victory  in  the  series,  the 
push  ball  contest,  was  proof  of  the 
efficacy  of  superior  numbers.  The 
huge  leather  sphere,  six  feet  through, 
furnished  a  spectacular  contest 
through  five  innings. 


Not  without  local 
for^hT^  significance  was  the 

FUTURE  CAMPUS  ^^^^^  lecture  by  Mr. 

Charies  Moore,  of 
Detroit,  upon  "The  Planning  of  Cities, 
with  Special  Reference  to  the  National 
Capital,"  given  May  7,  under  the  aus- 
pices of  the  Michigan  Union.  Rumors 
of  revolutionary  changes  in  the  Huron 
about  Ann  Arbor,  following  the  erec- 
tion of  a  series  of  huge  dams  for  the 
purpose  of  conserving  water  power, 
have  been  current  for  some  time,  and 
it  is  known  that  several  distinguished 
landscape  artists  have  been  in  Ann 
Arbor  at  different  times  in  consulta- 
tion. The  development  of  the  new 
University  arboretum  in  conjunction 
in  the  park  system  which  includes 
the  old  boulevards  on  the  north  side 
of  the  Huron  river  has  already  be- 
come an  accomplished  fact,  and  fur- 
ther a  consistent  scheme  for  the  erec- 
tion and  arrangement  of  the  buildings 
upon  the  Campus,  according  to  a  har- 
monious plan,  is  already  under  way, 
and  the  new  Science  Building  is  to  be 
the  first,  we  hope,  of  a  long  series  to 
be  erected  with  some  reference  to  the 
ultimate  appearance  of  our  Campus. 
C  Mr.  Moore's  lecture  dealt  in  part 
with  the  endeavor  of  the  commission, 
composed  of  the  leading  artists  and 
architects  of  the  United  States,  to 
bring  Washington  back  to  the  original 
scheme  as  laid  out  by  Major  L'Enfant 
under  the  direction  of  the  first  presi- 
dent. Mr.  Moore  was  secretary  of 
this  commission,  and  able  to  talk  with 
gjeat  authority,  presented  a  most  in- 
teresting series  of  views  comprising 
not  only  the  Washington  of  the  pres- 
ent, and  of  the   future,  but  also  of

Paris  and  other  continental  cities 
where  civic  adornment  has  advanced 
further.  These  plans  as  carried  out 
elsewhere,  illustrate  very  forcibly 
what  may  be  done  upon  such  an  ap- 
parently hopeless  fotmdation,  as  upon 
our  present  Campus,  with  its  hetero- 
geneous collection  of  buildings  of  no 
particular  order  and  with  no  relation 
to  one  another.  The  recent  increase 
in  the  University's  income  has  guar- 
anteed many  sorely  needed  new  build- 
ings, and  the  scheme  is  already  well 
developed  for  their  erection  upon  a 
consistent  and  worthy  design,  with  the 
Campus  as  a  whole  in  mind,  which 
will  guarantee  a  much  more  imposing 
University  in  the  future.  Nor  with 
tfie  program  as  at  present  outlined, 
need  we  wait  very  many  years  to  see 
results.  Under  the  present  conditions 
ten  years  even  should  make  a  mar- 
velous difference.  We  hope  some  time 
next  year  to  give  a  more  complete 
account  of  these  efforts. 


Of  the  debates  which 
ADBLPHi  WINS  occur  annually  in  the 
CUP  DBBATB  University,  one  of  the 
most  representative  is 
the  cup  debate  between  the  various 
societies  in  the  Literary  and  Law  De- 
partments. This  contest  reaches  prac- 
tically through  all  the  strata  of  the 
undergraduate  body,  and  the  team 
which  represents  the  victorious  so- 
ciety usually  indicates  the  best  ma- 
terial for  future  inter-university  de- 
baters. The  debate,  which  was  held 
this  year  Monday  night.  May  18,  was 
especially  significant  because  of  the 
fact  that  it  lay  between  the  two  liter- 
ary societies,  as  each  had  won  the 
previous  contest  with  the  opposing 
society  from  the  Law  Department. 
The  Adelphi  team,  composed  of  Ed- 
mund B.  Chaffee,  '09,  Ann  Arbor; 
Arthur  J.  Abbott,  '09,  Ann  Arbor; 
and  Morrison  Shafroth,  '10,  Denver, 
Colo.,  won  and  will  have  their  names 
engraved  upon  the  cup,  given  by  the 


Detroit  alumni,  which  is  awarded  an- 
nually. Their  opponents  on  the  Alpha 
Nu  team  were  HanJd  L.  Rotzel,  '10, 
Lima,  N.  Y. ;  Winthrop  D.  Lane,  '10, 
Fort  Wayne,  Ind. ;  and  John  J.  Devos, 
Milwaukee,  Wis.  Hon.  William  M. 
Mertz,  '96,  of  Detroit,  presided. 
C  The  winning  team  held  the  nega- 
tive of  the  question,  "Resolved,  that 
private  property  on  the  high  seas 
should  be  exempt  from  capture  at 
time  of  war."  The  debate  proved  un- 
usually interesting  and  lively,  and  the 
result  was  in  doubt  tmtil  the  last,  as 
both  sides  proved  especially  brilliant 
in  rebuttal.  The  affirmative  argument 
showed  that  the  trend  of  international 
law  has  been  steadily  toward  the  ex- 
emption of  private  property  from 
capture  on  the  high  seas  as  it  is  free 
on  land,  with  few  exceptions.  The 
negative  opposed  such  exemption  be- 
cause, if  the  seizure  of  private  prop- 
erty were  forbidden,  war  would  de- 
pend wholly  on  fighting,  necessitating 
a  great  increase  in  armies  and  navies. 
The  second  speaker  for  the  affirmative 
emphasized  the  fact  that  conditions 
have  so  changed  that  maritime  capture 
of  property  has  become  ineffective  as 
a  war  measure;  while  the  second 
speaker  for  the  negative  contended 
that  exemption  would  prolong  wars 
and  make  them  more  frequent  by  in- 
creasing the  resisting  capacity  of  the 
belligerents.  The  Iwisis  of  the  clos- 
ing argument  of  the  affirmative  was 
the  unjust  hardship  upon  neutrals, 
which  would  result  because  of  the  in- 
creasing importance  of  international 
commerce ;  while  the  conclusion  of  the 
argument  of  the  winning  side  opposed 
the  measure  in  that  it  would  discrimi- 
nate against  nations  and  classes.  The 
only  good  effect  possible  would  be  the 
lessening  of  the  harm  to  neutrals, 
whose  ships,  however,  are  already  ex- 
empt from  capture  and  receive  in  any 
case  a  large  measure  of  protection. 
The  final  decision,  which  was  unani- 
mous for  the  negative,  proved  popu- 
lar.

EVENT  IN  BRIEF 

The  Students'  Lecture  Association 
reports  a  smaller  balance  in  the  treas- 
ury this  year  than  for  some  time  here- 
tofore. The  gross  receipts  were 
$i,6oo  less  than  last  year,  although 
the  report  of  the  Board  showed  a  sur- 
plus of  $859.13  above  expenses.  The 
total  receipts  were  $4,331.86. 

The  final  lecture  in  the  course  given 
by  the  Cercle  Fran^ais  was  the  address 
by  Professor  Emil  Lorch,  head  of  the 
Department  of  Architecture,  upon 
French  Chateaux  and  Cathedrals. 
The  lecture  was  illustrated  with  slides 
numbering  ninety  in  all,  showing  the

The  Deutscher  Verein,  of  the  Uni- 
versity, held  their  annual  business 
meeting,  May  21.  The  report  of  the 
treasurer  showed  a  satisfactory  bal- 
ance, which,  may  justify  the  removal 
of  the  Verein  from  the  present  quar- 
ters to  new  ones  more  centrally  locat- 
ed. The  Verein  also  voted  $75  for 
the  purchase  of  German  books  to  be 
presented  to  the  General  Library.  The 
officers  elected  were  as  follows :  Pres- 
ident, Benjamin  R.  Eggeman,  Detroit, 
Mich.;  vice-president,  Muriel  V.  H. 
James,  Ann  Arbor;  secretary,  Flor- 
ence E.  Baker,  Bay  City,  Mich. ;  treas- 
urer, Carl  B.  Grawn,  Mt.  Pleasant, 
Mich. 


At  the  annual  election  of  the  Wo- 
men's League,  held  Saturday,  May  23, 
the  f (blowing  officers  were  elected: 
President,  Katherine  C.  Post,  Holland, 
Mich.;  vice-president,  Florence  E. 
Baker,  Bay  City,  Mich.;  treasurer, 
Bessie  R.  Ince,  Reed  City,  Mich.; 
corresponding  secretary,  Dorothea 
Kneeland,  St.  Louis,  Mich.;  chairman 
of  the  social  committee,  Lona  C.  Tink- 
ham,  Ann  Arbor. 

After  three  postponements,  the  an- 
nual Swing  Out  of  the  seniors  of  the 
University  in  cap  and  gown  finally 
took  place  at  4  o'clock,  l^esday,  May 
ip,  with  nearly  seven  hundred  in  line. 
Fx)llowing  the  exercises  in  University 
Hall,  which  included  an  address  by 
the  President,  the  classes  passed  out 
in  departmental  order,  down  the  walks 
which  were  lined  with  onlookers,  and 
marched  slowly  around  the  Campus. 
All  the  departments,  except  the  Hom- 
oeopathic, were  represented.  The  line 
was  led  by  George  H.  Hobart,  Jr., 
Grand  Rapids,  Mich.,  president  of  the 
senior  Literary  Department,  and 
Thomas  Clancey,  Ishpeming,  Mich., 
chairman  of  the  cap  and  gown  com- 
mittee, of  the  same  department 

An  amateur  performance  of 
Twelfth  Night  was  given  Thursday 
evening,  May  28,  under  the  direction 
of  Mrs.  Wm.  Hofmann,  of  the  Uni- 
versity School  of  Music.  A  number 
of  University  Faculty  members  as  well 
as  students  were  in  the  cast,  which 
was  as  follows:  Orsino,  Richard  D. 
T.  Hollister,  instructor  in  oratory; 
Sebastian,  Russell  M.  McFarland,  '09, 
Adrian ;  Malvolio,  Joseph  H.  Primeau, 
'10/;  Sir  Toby  Belch,  Herbert  A.  Ken- 
yon,  instructor  in  French ;  Sir  Andrew 
Aguecheek,  W.  H.  Townsend,  '11,

Mrs.  Wm.  Hohnann;  Olivia,  Mrs. 
Karl  M.  Wise;  Maria,  Ethel  Perrin, 
instructor  in  physical  training. 

At  the  request  of  President  Angell, 
and  upon  the  action  of  the  Faculty  of 
the  Literary  Department,  the  Pipe  and 
Bowl  Society  of  the  sophomore  class 
was  requested  to  disband,  Tuesday, 
May  26.  President  Angell  in  speak- 
ing concerning  this  action  said :  "We 
couldn't  find  any  good  that  had  come 
from  the  organization  and  we  decided 
that  it  was  a  nuisance.  The  action 
of  the  Faculty,  however,  was  not 
directly  due  to  any  one  act  of  the  or- 
ganization." 

Annotmcement  has  been  made  by 
the  English  Department  that  the  Ben 
Greet  players  will  play  "Two  Gentle- 
men of  Verona"  and  "Midsummer 
Night's  Dream"  m  their  annual  ap- 
pearance on  the  Campus,  Commence- 
ment wedc.  These  performances  will 
be  given  this  year  on  Tuesday,  June 
16.  'Two  Gentlemen  of  Vercwia," 
which  is  to  be  the  afternoon  offering, 
has  just  been  added  to  the  repertoire 
of  the  company.

society  of  the  Literaiy  Department,  in 
full  redskin  regalia,  dancing  to  the 
monotonous  beat  of  the  tom-tom, 
Tcq>ed  ten  newly  elected  braves  about 
Tappan  Oak,  May  13.  The  following 
men  were  chosen:  Chaimcey  b. 
Boucher,  Marion,  Ind.;  Frank  T. 
Rowell,  Louisville,  Ky.;  Harbw  N. 
Davock,  Detroit,  Mich.;  Maurice  E. 
Crumpadcer,  Valparaiso,  Ind. ;  Sidney

BarkduU,  Toledo,  Ohio;  Joseph  E. 
Kelly,  Lowell,  Mich. ;  and  Horace  A. 
Treat,  Adrian,  Mich.  These  ten  in 
turn  choose  ten  more  next  year  from 
the  senior  dass  to  complete  the  mem- 
bership of  the  society.    A  similar  in- 


itiation was  carried  out  by  the  Barris- 
ters, who  elected  ten  junior  laws  to 
membership,  May  18.  The  following 
were  served  witfi  the  official  sub- 
poena: Thomas  L.  Carty,  Pawtucket, 
R.  L ;  Sidney  F.  Duffey,  New  York

A  SCOTCHMAN'S  IMPRESSIONS 

America  at  College  is  the  general 
title  of  a  scries  of  articles,  giving  the 
impression  of  an  English  journalist, 
Mr.  E.  K.  Risk,  on  American  college 
and  university  life  and  published  in 
a  recent  number  of  the  Glasgow  Her- 
ald. We  have  reprinted  portions  of 
his  article  on  this  University  in  an 
earlier  number,  but  it  is  possible  that 
his  impressions  of  the  American  uni- 
versity and  student  may  be  fotmd  m- 
teresting.  In  presenting  the  "social 
side"  in  the  issue  for  Feb.  8,  he  dis- 
cusses the  fraternity  at  length. 

"If  one  were  asked,  after  a  neces- 
sarily hurried  survey  of  some  dozen 
Universities  and  coll^;es  in  widely 
separated  parts  of  the  States,  to  select 
their  chief  point  of  contrast  with  our 
own  Universities,  the  answer  would 
be  that  the  one  characteristic  of  Amer- 
ican college  life,  most  salient  and  in- 
dividual and  vital,  is  the  intensity  and 
strength  of  its  multifarious  social 
energies.  Of  course,  the  residential 
system  is  their  basis,  and  the  resi- 
dential system  is  all  but  universal.  In 
preceding  articles  I  have  described 
Universities,  such  as  Cornell  and 
Michigan,  where  the  majority  of  the 
underg^duates  live  in  boarding- 
houses  or  lodgings.  But  even  in  these 
instances  there  is  more  community  of 
life  than  is  possible  in  our  own  dty. 
Ithaca  and  Ann  Arbor  exist  for,  and

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[June 


live  upon,  the  students,  who  really 
form  the  town,  whereas  in  Glasgow  or 
Chicago  they  are  scattered  through- 
out the  city  and  form  an  insignificant 
fraction  of  its  population.  It  has  to 
be  noted  also  that  even  at  Cornell  and 
Michigan  a  substantial  section  of  the 
students  is  to  be  found  in  the  houses 
of  the  Greek  Letter  Fraternities, 
thereby  enjoying  the  benefits — ^and  in- 
curring the  disadvantages— of  social 
intercourse  more  habitual  and  more 
familiar  than  the  ordinary  residential 
system  affords/* 

He  also  has  something  to  say  re- 
garding the  alumni  of  the  University 
and  especially  the  work  of  this  Alum- 
ni Association. 

"The  class  spirit  and  the  college 
patriotism,  of  which  it  forms  a  part, 
would  still  be  much  more  potent  and 
exuberant  than  the  Scotch  graduate 
can  readily  conceive,  or  perhaps  ad- 
mire, even  if  their  manifestations  were 
not  systematically  fostered.  The  col- 
lege years  of  so  many  young  Ameri- 
cans mean  so  much  more  to  them, 
looking  bade,  than  they  ever  can  to 
men  who  are  destined  to  life  in  a 
highly  civilised  community.  The 
greater  part  of  the  work  of  breaking 
in  new  country,  of  building  new  rail- 
roads and  bridges,  of  founding  new 
cities  in  the  wilderness  is  done  by  Uni- 
versity men.  Their  lives,  and  sur- 
roundings, and  companions,  when 
they  go  out  into  the  world,  often  are 
absolutely  unlike  those  of  their  col- 
lege years.  Therefore,  the  desire  to 
keep  in  touch  with  their  University 
and  the  friends  made  there  is  all  the 
keener.  So  Commencement  is  full  of 
a  peculiar  significance,  and  exercises 
a  perennial  and  unfailing  charm.  And 
the  University  takes  excellent  care 
that  she  is  not  forgotten  by  her  Chil- 
dren. The  college  spirit,  like  so  many 
other  things  in  the  States,  is  organised. 

"At  most  of  the  Universities  there 
is  a  special  department  whose  busi- 
ness is  to  keep  in  touch  with  the  grad- 
uates.   At  Michigan,  for  example,  the 


Alumni  Society  Office  employs  a  sec- 
retary and  three  or  four  clerks.  It 
has  die  addresses  of  23,000  graduates 
carefully  filed,  by  names  and  also  by 
States.  In  this  office  is  edited  "The 
Michigan  Alumnus,"  a  substantial 
monthly  magazine  published  for  the 
graduates.  At  present  it  has  a  cir- 
culation of  nearly  7,000  copies.  Rec- 
ords  of  a  more  permanent  character 
are  also  prepared,  for  each  class,  on 
its  fifth  and  tenth  birthdays.  Obvi- 
ously this  is  good  business,  from  the 
University's  point  of  view.  Every- 
where you  see  the  fruits  of  this  pol- 
icy and  of  the  organised  practical  loy- 
alty which  it  stimulates.  Here  it  may 
be  a  new  laboratory,  there  a  memori^ 
hall,  the  gift  of  the  Alumni  Associa- 
tion. One  class  erects  a  new  gate- 
way, another,  convinced  that  a  larger 
swimming-pond  is  required,  will  pro- 
vide it.  A  third  class  thinks  a  sun 
dial  would  add  to  the  picturesqueness 
of  a  quadrangle.  Even  the  coU^ne 
class — ^in  our  more  limited  sense  of 
the  word— often  sends  a  gift,  of  a 
clock  or  a  bookcase,  to  the  room  of 
its  former  toil.  At  Yale  the  graduates 
are  directly  represented,  as  such,  on 
the  corporation  of  the  University.  The 
Alumni  Fund  Association  is  instituted 
to  advance  the  financial  interests  of 
the  University.  And  from  this  source, 
to  which  relatively  small  donations 
are  made,  Yale  derives  a  steady  in- 
come of  £8,000  a  year.  And  thus  the 
development  of  social  life  and  the  sys- 
tematic fostering  of  collie  loyalty  and 
patriotism  are  closely  bound  up  with 
the  University's  financial  prosperity 
and  its  capacity  for  growth  and  ex- 
pansion." 

"Staff  and  Student"  is  the  subject 
of  the  fourteenth  paper  of  the  series, 
published  Feb.  15.  Of  the  student  he 
has  this  to  say: 

"The  American  student,  during  the 
necessarily  limited  opportunities  I  had 
of  making  his  acquaintance,  impressed 
me  as  a  more  mature  individual  than 
the  Scotch  undergraduate,  as  I  used

to  know  him  familiarly  and  as  I  see 
him  now.  In  point  of  mere  chronolo- 
gy he  is  more  mature ;  for  the  average 
age  of  matriculation  in  the  States  is 
nearer  nineteen  than  eighteen.  But 
he  seemed  to  me  more  self-possessed, 
more  confident  and  easy  in  bearing, 
better  informed  upon  and  more  keen- 
ly interested  in  the  events  of  the  day, 
than  his  Scotch  equal  in  age.  That 
his  attainments  on  entering  college 
are  less  substantial  and  less  thorough 
is  beyond  doubt.  The  comparative  sim- 
plicity of  entrance  examinations  in  so 
many  Universities  make  that  fact  pal- 
pable. The  contrast  was  expressed 
succinctly  by  an  instructor  at  Johns 
Hopkins,  who  said  to  me  that  the  Brit- 
ish boy  on  leaving  school  had  some 
general  outline  of  the  history  of  the 
world  to  take  with  him  to  ccrflegc, 
but  that  the  American  lad  was  not  ex- 
pected to  know  much  about  any  event 
earlier  than  the  birth  of  George  Wash- 
ington. The  American  student  ap- 
pears to  take  a  very  limited  interest 
in  academic  distinction.  In  our  Uni- 
versities, to  be  president  of  the  S.R.C. 
or  of  a  political  or  other  club  is  fame ; 
but  these  honours  do  not,  or  at  least 
did  not,  rank  higher  than  a  Clark  Fel- 
lowship, or  the  Snell  Exhibition,  or  a 
double  first  in  honours." 


THE  NAME  "ANN  ARBOR*' 

While  many  are  aware  in  a  general 
way  of  the  genesis  of  the  picturesque 
name  of  Ann  Arbor,  the  following 
circumstantial  account  of  its  origin 
may  be  of  considerable  interest  to  the 
alumni  of  the  University.  It  was  pub- 
lished originally  in  the  Ann  Arbor 
News-Argus,  from  which  we  reprint 
it  for  the  benefit  of  the  alumni  of  the 
University. 

Chelsea,  Mich.,  February  29. 
Arthuk  SiirrH,  Ann  Arbor,  Mich. 

Dear  Sir:— In  the  Ann  Arbor  News-Ar- 
gus of  26th  inst,  I  find  an  item  stating 
that  The  London  Times  has  requested  of 
you  certain  items  of  the  history  of  Ann 
Arbor,  for  use  in  the  £ncyclope<ua  Britan- 


ica,  one  of  which  is  the  origin  of  its  name. 

The  uniqueness  of  that  origin  makes  this 
question  a  matter  of  considerable  interest, 
not  to  say  importance,  that  the  right  an- 
swer should  be  given  to  it 

I  write  you,  therefore,  to  inform  you 
that  there  is  no  person  living,  at  the  pres- 
ent time,  who  is  better  authority  on  that 
question  than  my  wife,  who  was  brought 
to  that  new  settlement  in  the  arms  of  her 
father,  Asa  L.  Smith,  within  a  few  weeks 
after  the  arrival  of  Messrs.  E.  W.  Rumsey 
and  John  Allen,  founders  of  the  town;  and 
resided  there  during  the  next  twenty  years. 

Her  story  is  this:  Messrs.  Rumsey  and 
Allen,  on  their  arrival,  erected  a  tent  for 
their  first  home  on  the  east  side  of  the 
creek,  known  as  Allen's  Creek,  that  runs 
in  the  valley  west  of  Main  street,  by  the 
side  of  the  A.  A.  R.  R.  just  where  the 
railroad  crosses  Huron  street  Through 
the  plain  east  of  this  slope  was  what  was 
called  "Bur-oak  Opening,"  on  this  slope, 
near  the  creek,  was  a  grove  of  trees,  that 
constituted  a  natural  arbor.  From  this 
circumstance,  and  that  fact  that  the  given 
name  Ann  was  common  to  both  Mrs.  Rum- 
sey and  Mrs.  Allen,  the  settlement  received 
the  name  Ann  Arbor.  You  will  observe 
at  a  glance  that  this  account  of  the  mat- 
ter is  perfectly  consistent  with  the  locality 
and  all  the  circumstances;  and  is  undoubt- 
edly the  truth. 

My  own  testimony  on  this  question  is 
this:  I  came  to  Ann  Arbor  in  the  spring 
of  1837,  and  opened  a  school  in  the  Lower 
Town  in  the  spring  of  1858,  and  taught 
there  three  years.  I  knew  intimately  many 
of  the  families  that  came  very  early  into 
the  settlement.  Andrew  Knowland  was 
one  of  my  pupils.  I  knew  well  Grandma 
Fuller,  mother  of  Judge  Lawrence's  wife; 
Daniel  B.  Brown,  brother  of  Anson  Brown, 
who  founded  Lower  Town,  and  died  of 
cholera  in  1832;  and  many  others.  The 
above  legend  of  the  origin  of  the  name  of 
the  town  was  the  only  one  I  ever  heard 
in  those  days. 

I  want  now  to  refer  to  two  absurd  and 
inconsistent  stories  that  have  been  published 
within  a  few  years  in  Ann  Arbor  papers. 
One  is  that  the  settlement  was  first  called 
Ann  Harbor.  Who  ever  heard  of  a  place 
located  fifty  miles  from  navigable  water 
being  named   Harbor? 

The  other  is  that  the  arbor,  that  figures 
so  largely  in  this  matter,  was  located  in 
the  region  of  the  university  campus.  This 
is  as  absurd  as  the  other.  Did  ever  a  pio- 
neer locate  his  first  home  on  an  upland 
plain,  where  there  was  not  a  drop  of  water 
to  be  obtained,  when  there  was  a  beautiful 
stream,  and  an  inviting  grove,  perfectly 
fitted  for  a  pioneer  home,  within  a  hun- 
dred rods?

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[June 


In  weighing  the  different  claims  for  the 
honor,  surely  we  have  a  right  to  exercise 
a  little  common  sense  ourselves,  however 
ancient  the  matter  may  be  concerning  which 
we  are  making  inquiry. 

Hoping  you  may  be  able  to  obtain  the 
truth  concerning  this  interesting  item  of 
Ann  Arbor's  history,  I  am. 

Very  respectfully, 

Thomas  Holmes. 


THE     INTERCOLLEGIATE     CONFER- 

ENCE  AND  THE  UNIVERSITY 

OF  MICHIGAN 

The  following  article  upcMi  the  Con- 
ference situation  appeared  in  the  May 
number  of  the  University  of  Chicago 
Alumni  Magazine.  It  represents  a 
very  general  view  of  the  members  of 
the  Conference  upon  Michigan's  posi- 
tion as  well  as  the  feeling  of  Michi- 
gan's former  representatives  before 
the  reorganization  of  the  Board  in 
Control.  We  publish  it  as  the  best 
statement  of  the  actual  facts  in  the 
case  that  we  have  seen. 

For  twelve  years  the  Intercollegiate  Con- 
ference has  been  a  strong  and  beneficent 
force  in  the  organization  and  regulation  of 
western  intercollegiate  athletics.  ■  Only 
those  of  us  who  can  look  back  to  the  time 
before  the  Conference  can  realize  the  ex- 
tent of  the  improvement  of  present  condi- 
tions over  the  situation  in  that  time,  and 
there  is  no  one  who  is  at  aH  conversant 
with  the  history  of  our  intercollegiate  ath- 
etics  who  does  not  credit  to  the  Confer- 
ence this  remarkable  improvement  both  in 
the  rules  governing  competition  and  eligi- 
bility and  in  the  morals  of  competitive 
sport. 

It  is  true,  a  great  deal  has  been  done 
in  this  direction  by  the  universities  as  in- 
dividuals, but  as  long  as  we  have  inter- 
collegiate competition,  such  a  movement 
cannot  have  its  proper  force  and  effect 
without  intercollegiate  action.  There  must 
be  a  mutual  agreement  to  enforce  rules 
and  a  reciprocal  good  faith,  and  this  the 
Conference  provides.  With  this  in  mind, 
then,  how  deplorable  is  our  separation  from 
the  University  of  Michifipn.  As  this  is 
the  first  break  in  an  orgamzation  which  has 
lasted  for  twelve  years,  to  the  manifest  ad- 
vantage of  all  its  members  and  the  cause 
of  collegiate  athletics  generally,  it  seems 
worth  while  to  briefly  review  the  steps 
which  have  led  us  to  the  present  situation. 

As  a  culmination  of  the  trend  of  col- 


legiate athletic  affairs  for  several  years 
preceding  1906^  the  spirit  of  athletic  re- 
form was  abroad  in  the  land.  It  was  gen- 
erally conceded  that  athletics  occupied  too 
large  a  proportion  of  university  fife,  and 
that  some  definite  steps  should  be  taken, 
leading  to  a  readjustment  of  such  condi- 
tions. As  this  feeling  was  conmion  to  a 
number  of  the  Conference  universities,  it 
was  suggested  by  the  University  of  Chi- 
cago that  a  special  meeting  be  called  of 
two  representatives  from  each  member  of 
the  Conference,  to  devise  means  of  im- 
proving the  athletic  situation.  As  a  ma- 
jority of  the  Conference  members  were 
state  universities,  it  seemed  fitting  that 
this  meeting  be  called  by  such  an  institu- 
tion, and  it  was  suggested  that  this  be  done 
by  President  Angell  of  the  University  of 
Michigan.  Accordingly  President  Angell 
called  such  a  meeting  to  be  held  in  Chi- 
cago on  the  19th  and  20th  days  of  January, 
1906.  After  much  discussion  of  the  prob- 
lems considered  this  meeting  adjourned 
and  convened  again  on  March  9,  when 
certain  definite  recommendations  were 
made  to  the  Conference.  On  the  follow- 
ing day,  March  10,  as  a  result  of  these 
recommendations,  the  Conference  passed, 
with  several  others,  the  three  rules  which 
have  made  all  the  trouble.  They  were  as 
follows : 

First  The  rule  prohibitinjj  more  than 
three  years'  participation  in  intercollegiate 
athletics  by  any  student,  which  rule  was 
to  go  into  effect  on  December  i,  1906— 
thus,  except  as  to  the  football  season  of 
the  fall  of  1906,  being  a  retroactive  rule. 
That  is,  it  had  the  effect  of  cutting  one 
year  from  the  possible  time  of  each  ath- 
lete's intercollegiate  competition.  Of  course, 
all  students  were  affected;  one  srear  and 
two  year  men  just  as  much  as  three  year 
men,  but  the  hardship  seemed  to  fall  par- 
ticularly upon  the  last  class,  as  they  were 
cut  off  entirely,  while  the  others  might 
still  compete,  although  for  one  year  less 
time. 

Second.  The  rule  reducing  the  Confer- 
ence football  schedule  to  five  games. 

Third.  The  rule  abolishing  the  training 
table. 

The  resolutions  passed  by  these  two  spec- 
ial conferences  were  approved  by  the  In- 
tercollegiate Conference  and  incorporated 
in  its  rules  and  regulations. 

Under  the  Conference  rules  all  legisla- 
tion must  be  submitted  to  the  authorities 
of  the  constituent  universities  for  ratifica- 
tion. If  one  or  more  of  the  universities 
rejects  any  action  of  the  Conference  with- 
in sixty  days  after  its  adoption,  this  meas- 
ure must  be  a^;ain  submitted  to  a  Confer- 
ence vote  (which  may  be  done  either  in  a 
Conference  meeting  or  by  mail)   and  the

measure  becomes  operative  if  passed  by  a 
two-thirds  vote  of  ue  members.  After  the 
measure  is  in  force,  by  a  two-thirds  YOte^ 
as  above  provided,  an:^  member  of  the 
Conference  again  rejecting  it  is  suspend- 
ed. This  mode  of  procedure  follows  the 
"White  Resolution,"  which  was  adopted 
by  the  Conference  November  29,  1901. 

Professor  Pattengill,  who  was  the  chair- 
man of  the  Michigan  Athletic  Board  and 
who  represented  Michigan  at  these  meet- 
ings of  January  and  March,  1906,  and  who 
was  one  of  the  leaders  in  the  movement 
for  the  adoption  of  these  rules,  died  at 
Ann  Arbor  on  March  16,  1906,  probably 
before  he  had  an  opportunity  to  talk  fully 
with  the  Michigan  board  of  the  changes 
adopted  by  the  Conference. 

Several  of  the  members  of  the  Confer- 
ence, including  Michigan  and  Chicago, 
were  not  satisfied  with  the  three  year  rule 
as  passed  by  the  March  meeting,  and  at 
the  Conference  meeting  of  June  i,  ipoo, 
Chicago  introduced  a  resolution  to  hmit 
its  retroactive  feature,  but  the  resolution 
was  defeated.  Nothing  further  was  done 
at  that  time,  but  at  the  meeting  of  Decem- 
ber I,  1906,  the  following  action  was  taken: 
A  resolution  was  carried  to  the  effect  that 
the  rule  limiting  participation  to  three 
years  in  the  aggregate  should  not  apply 
to  students  who  had  entered  Conference 
universities  prior  to  September  i,  1906. 

It  was  also  decided  to  increase  the  num- 
ber of  football  games  to  be  played  in  any 
one  season  to  seven,  with  the  understand- 
ing that  two  at  least  should  be  minor 
games,  for  which  not  more  than  fifty  cents 
admission  should  be  charged  for  any  spec- 
tator. As  this  action  was  not  unanimously 
ratified  by  the  various  institutions,  a  vote 
was  necessary  and  a  Conference  meeting 
was  held  on  January  12,  1907,  to  vote  up- 
on these  proposed  changes.  (The  result  was 
as  follows:  For  seven  games— Chicago, 
Michigan,  Indiana,  Iowa.  Against  seven 
games— Wisconsin,  Minnesota,  Purdue,  Il- 
linois and  Nortfiwestem.  On  limiting  the 
retroactive  function  of  the  three  year  rule : 
Affirmative— Chicago,  Michigan,  Illinois 
Indiana  and  Iowa.  Negative— MinnesoU 
Wisconsin,     Purdue    and    Northwestern.* 

In  neither  case  was  there  the  required  two- 
thirds  majori^,  so  both  resolutions  failed. 
In  one  case  Aree  other  universities  voted 
with  Michifipan,  and  in  the  other  four,  show- 
ing that  Michigan  did  not  stand  alone  in 
her  desire  to  change  these  rules. 

As  soon  as  the  decision  of  the  Confer- 
ence on  these  rules  became  known,  trouble 
b^:an  at  Ann  Arbor.    The  Michigan  stu-

dents  seemed  to  feel  that  the  roles  in  ques- 
tion, with  the  rule  to  abolish  the  traming 
table,  had  been  especially  designed  to  crip- 
ple the  Michigan  teams.  This,  notwith- 
standing the  facts  that  these  same  rules 
had  beoi  strongly  advocated  by  their  own 
Conference  representatives,,  and  that  the 
teams  of  other  Conference  universities 
were  crippled  peatly,  if  not  quite  as  badly 
as  those  of  Michigan. 

The  students  and  other  athletic  interests 
at  Ann  Arbor  seemed  to  think  that  Midii- 
gan  was  suffering  from  some  injustice  pre- 
pared especiallv  for  her,  and  that  her  posi- 
tion demanded  a  leniency  not  necessary  to 
the  other  members  of  the  Conference.  The 
various  factions  interested  in  athletics  there 
were  in  conflict;  and  from  this  conflict, 
which  soon  grew  beyond  the  control  of  the 
constituted  athletic  authorities,  there  de- 
veloped a  strange  situation.  Under  date 
of  March  22,  1907,  Michigan  sent  to  all 
the  other  members  of  the  Conference  an 
astonishing  communication, — ^in  effect  a 
notice : 

First  That  Michigan  did  not  believe  it 
expedient  to  withdraw  from  the  Confer- 
ence. 

^econd.  That  while  in  contests  with 
Conference  colleges,  Michigan  would  be 
governed  by  Conference  rules,  there  were 
two  of  the  Conference  rules  which  Michi- 
gan would  not  observe  in  the  contests  with 
non-Conference  colleges  during  the  year 
1907,  namely,  the  retroactive  feature  of  the 
three  year  rule  and  the  five  game  football 
limitation. 

The  communication  was  a  long  one  and 
was  carefully  written  in  terms  of  depreca- 
tion and  conciliation,  abounding  in  plausi- 
ble reasoning  and  regretful  in  tone,  but 
nevertheless  the  substance  of  it  was  a  re- 
fusal to  obey  Conference  rules.  It  mav  be 
said  here,  that  while  this  statement  from 
Michigan  was  a  confidential  one  and  not 
published  at  the  time^  the  reasons  for  se- 
crecy exist  no  longer,  so  that  it  may  be 
used  to  fill  out  the  chain  of  events  leading 
up  to  the  present  situation. 

At  this  time  two  members  of  the  Michi- 
gan athletic  board  came  to  Chicago  and  in 
an  interview  with  several  of  the  Chicago 
athletic  board  explained  their  written  state- 
ment. They  said  that  they  realized  their 
position  was  an  unusual  one  and  perh^s 
an  unreasonable  one,  but  they  had  done 
the  best  they  could  under  the  conditions 
then  existing  at  Ann  Arbor.  They  did  not 
want  Michigan  to  withdraw  or  to  be  ex- 
pelled from  the  Conference,  and  that  if 
present  relationships  could  be  prolonged. 
It  was  probable  that  conditions  at  home 
would  change,  and  that  Michigan,  like  the 
other  members  of  the  Conference,  would 
submit  to  its  rules.     Meanwhile  their  de-

[June 


claration  of  independence   was  to  be   ef- 
fective. 

As  Chicago  had  baseball  ^ames  scheduled 
with  Michigan  in  the  spring  of  1907,  it 
became  necessary  to  decide  whether  these 
games  could  be  played.  Chicago  did  not 
wish  to  offend  either  Michigan  or  the  Con- 
ference, nor  did  she  vnSi  to  Ukt  the 
responsibility  of  deciding  the  status  of 
Michigan  in  the  Conference,  so  Chicago 
asked  for  a  Conference  meeting,  and  this 
was  called  for  April  13,  1907.  At  this 
meeting  Michigan  reiterated  her  state- 
ments as  to  her  non-compliance  with  rules, 
with  the  exception  that  it  ¥ras  stated  that 
the  Michigan  Board  in  Control  had  not  yet 
authorized  the  setting  aside  of  any  Con- 
ference rule,  but  such  action  was  probable. 
After  some  deliberation,  a  special  form  of 
membership  was  devised  to  meet  the  needs 
of  Michigan,  as  presented  to  the  Confer- 
ence; that  is,  a  resolution  was  unanimously 
passed,  that  in  the  judgment  of  the  Con- 
ference there  should  be  non-intercourse  in 
athletics  between  members  of  the  Confer- 
ence and  any  member  that  did  not  con- 
form in  full  to  Conference  rules.  In  other 
words,  Michigan  retained  her  membership 
and  voting  power,  but  the  other  men^rs 
of  the  Conference  were  not  to  compete 
with  her,  until  she  found  she  could  obey 
the  rules,  as  the  rest  did. 

By  what  reasoning  did  the  Conference 
arrive  at  such  an  arrangement  as  this? 
Well,  in  this  way:  The  sympathy  of  Chi- 
cago and  some  others  had  been  enlisted, 
the  Michigan  athletic  situation  was  very 
complicated;  the  element  there  which  de- 
sired to  continue  in  regular  Conference 
membership  was  not  in  control,  but  it  was 
hoped  that  some  time  they  would  be.  The 
Conference  did  not  want  to  lo^^^ Michigan* 
but  as  it  was  impossible  tqjignort  an  op^ 
violation  of  rules,  it  became  necessary  to 
make  some  arrangement  which  would  allow 
Michigan  to  conform  to  the  requirements 
of  her  domestic  situation  and  still  keep 
her  Conference  membership.  So  the  other 
members  of  the  Conference  decided  to 
withdraw  from  Michigan,  leaving  her  alone 
to  reflect  upon  her  position  and  incidentally 
have  such  other  athletic  competition  as  she 
wanted  and  could  get,  until  the  time  when 
her  domestic  difficulties  should  be  over  and 
she  might  again  conform  to  all  Conference 
rules. 

Now  what  was  the  result  of  such  an 
arrangement?  Just  what  was  to  be  ex- 
pected. Of  course,  it  was  a  situation  that 
could  not  last  indeflnitely,  but  it  did  last 
altogether  too  long — from  April  13,  1907, 
to  February,  1908 — about  ten  montihs,  and 
during  that  time  Michigan  retained  her 
membership  and  attended  Conference  meet- 
ings.   She  was  represented  in  the  regular 


meeting  June  i,  ip07,  when  the  seven  foot- 
ball game  proposition  was  again  proposed 
(this  time  bv  Minnesota)  and  again  de- 
feated. Finally,  in  the  Conference  meeting 
held  January  4,  1908,  it  was  decided  that 
if  Michigan  did  not  comply  fully  with 
Conference  rules  by  February  i,  1908;  die 
'White  Resolution"  should  operate  to  ter- 
minate her  membership.  Michigan  then 
saw  that  the  game  was  up  and  resigned 
from  the  Conference  before  that  time. 
These  are  the  facts  as  shown  by  the  oflS- 
dal  records  of  the  Conference,  and  they 
should  not  be  clouded  either  by  statements 
from  Ann  Arbor  that  Michigan  did  not  get 
fair  treatment,  or  stateemnts  from  other 
Conference  members,  that  granting  a  spe- 
cial privilege  to  Michigan  was  justifiable. 

Now  all  of  this  is  reviewed  for  two  rea- 
sons. First;  An  outline  of  the  steps  lead- 
ing to  the  present  Conference  situation 
wHl  undoubtedly  be  of  interest  to  some  of 
our  alumni,  who  have  no  knowledge  of 
these  events,  except  what  they  could  get 
from  die  newspapers.  But  second  and 
principally:  That  such  a  summary  may 
afford  some  basis  for  determining  whether 
the  course  taken  by  the  Conference  was  a 
wise  one  or  whether  different  action  would 
have  been  more  effective.  In  such  a  pur- 
pose we  have  no  concern  with  the  action 
of  Michigan,  except  as  a  member  of  the 
Conference.  Each  university  must  settle 
its  domestic  difficulties  as  best  it  can,  and 
unfortunately  Michigan  seems  a  long  way 
from  the  settlement  of  hers.  Her  attitude 
as  a  member  of  the  Conference,  however, 
is  a  different  matter  and  it  may  fairly  be 
said  that  in  this  relationship  Michigan  was 
both  unreasonable  and  undignified.  To  put, 
it  briefly,  she  served  notice  upon  the  other 
members  of  the  Conference  that  although 
there  were  two  Conference  rules  she  would 
not  (and  possibly  could  not)  obey,  she 
found  it  "inexpedient^  to  resign!  Michigan 
disregarded  rules,  retained  her  membership, 
attended  Conference  meetings  and  voted 
with  the  most  lawabiding  of  us.  She  ate 
her  cake  and  had  it,  too,  as  long  as  it  could 
be  made  to  last.  This  is  said  in  no  un- 
friendly spirit  and  with  no  lack  of  sym- 
pathy for  Michigan  in  the  complexity  of 
her  domestic  trouble. 

Now  as  to  the  Conference.  Was  it  good 
judgment  to  permit  Michigan  to  retain  her 
membership  after  that  first  notice?  As  it 
has  turned  out,  the  object  of  this  leniency 
(aid  to  Michigan  in  her  own  troubles) 
was  not  accomplished  and  a  dangerous  pre- 
cedent has  been  established.  There  are 
strong  motives  binding  the  Conference  to- 
gether; not  the  least  of  which  is  self- 
interest,  for  it  is  only  by  combination  and 
co-operation  that  much  may  be  done  for 
intercollegiate  athletics.    No  member  of^e

Conference  should  be  ptemiitted  to  aroid 
Conference  rules  and  still  retain  member- 
ship. It  is  a  step  in  the  direction  of  disso- 
lution, a  weakemng  of  the  organization,  and 
in  the  interest  of  self-preservation  should 
not  be  countenanced. 

Let  us  not  be  understood  as  favoring  any 
retroactive  rule— far  from  it  In  this  dis- 
cussion we  do  not  approve  or  disapprove 
of  any  of  the  rules  in  question.  Their  merit 
or  demerit  is  aside  Irom  the  issue  here, 
which  is  no  more  nor  less  than  the  per- 
petuation of  the  Conference  in  its  full  force 
and  activity,  No  one  asserts  that  the  Con- 
ference has  made  no  mistakes,  but  on  the 
other  hand  no  one  denies  that  since  its 
organization  twelve  years  ago,  it  has  placed 
western  intercollegiate  athetics  on  a  plane 
immeasurablv  higher  than  they  occupied 
before  the  (Conference  was  formed.  Is  not 
the  preservation  of  such  an  organization 
of  the  first  importance  and  is  it  not  worth 
while  to  consider  seriously,  and  jealously 
guard  against  any  tendency  to  weaken  it? 

As  to  the  present  situation,  it  satisfies  no 
one.  It  is  only  a  mild  way  of  putting  it  to 
say  that  all  the  Conference  universities 
.desire  Michigan  back  in  the  Conference. 
We  feel  that,  logically,  she  should  be  a 
member  of  the  Conference  group.  She  is 
a  western  university,  both  geographically 
and  in  the  personnd  of  her  student  bod^. 
We  all  have  reason  to  respect  her  athletic 
powers,  and  it  is  a  continusd  disappoint- 
ment to  make  up  our  schedules  without 
her.  It  is  fair  to  say  that  a  large  number 
of  her  alumni  also  regret  the  separation 
from  the  Conference.  While  it  is  difficult 
and  perhaps  indiscreet  to  hazard  a  guess 
as  to  Mioiigan's  home  troubles,  it  is  un- 
doubtedly true  that  manv  of  the  real  issues 
have  hten  obscured  by  fictional  differences 
between  the  various  elements  in  athletic 
affairs  at  Ann  Arbor.  It  is  not  probaMe 
that  the  course  of  events  has  been  clearly 
understood  by  all  concerned  there^  and  the 
intense  desire  of  students  and  the  athletic 
miinagement  for  athletic  victory  has  gi^atlv 
increased  the  difficulties  of  those  ^jfhor  look 
beyond  mere  immediate  athletic  wtory,  to 
a  broad  policy  which  would  be  best  for  the 
University,  year  in  and  year  out.  How- 
ever, whatever  the  difficulties,  let  us  hope 
they  will  be  surmounted.  The  latch  string 
is  out  and  Midiigan  has  only  to  rejoin  the 
Conference,  with  no  other  understanding 
than  to  take  her  chance  with  all  the  other 
members  in  getting  what  she  wants,  to  in- 
sure herself  a  hearty  welcome.  It  may  be 
several  years  before  this  is  brought  about, 
but  let  us  hope  it  will  come  before  too 
long,  and  meanwhile  let  us  of  Chicago,  at 
least,  assure  Michigan  that  she  will  be  wel- 
come when  she  comes.

Editor  Alumnus: 

Professor  C.  H.  Van  Tync  in  his  ar- 
ticle "Sources  of  Strength  in  Grad- 
uate Schools"  in  the  last  number  of 
The  Alumnus*  gives  statistics  relat- 
ing to  the  attendance  in  the  Graduate 
Schools  of  fourteen  of  the  leading 
universities,  which  from  the  stand- 
point of  the  University  of  Michigan 
are  misleading.  I  do  not  wish  to 
discuss  at  this  time  the  future  de- 
velopment of  our  Graduate  Schocd 
which  should  be  a  matter  of  great 
concern  to  us  all.  The  object  of  this 
note  is  simply  to  present  a  few  figures 
relating  to  attendance  to  show  that 
Professor  Van  Tyne's  statements  are 
not  based  upon  conditions  actually 
existing  today. 

At  the  very  beginning  of  Professor 
Van  TVne's  paper  the  question  is 
asked :  Why  has  Columbia  over  sev- 
en times  as  many  graduate  students, 
Harvard  nearly  five  times,  Wisconsin, 
Yale,  and  Pennsylvania  nearly  four 
times,  and  Cornell,  California,  and 
New  York  over  twice  as  many  as 
Michigan?"  We  are  also  told  that 
"Illinois  has  70  more  graduate  stu- 
dents than  we,  Indiana  11  more,  Mis- 
souri 42  more,  and  Nebraska  ^even 
more."  Professor  Van  Tyne  used  as 
the  basis  for  the  above  comparison  of 
the  attendance  in  the  various  Grad- 
tcate  Schools  the  data  compiled  by 
Registrar  Rudolf  Tombo,  Jr.,«  of  Co- 
lumbia University,  according  to  whidi 
the  University  of  Michigan  has  but 
95  students  regularly  enrolled  in  its 
Graduate  School.  Professor  Van 
Tyne  cannot  be  ignorant  of  the  fact 
that  the  University  of  Michigan  pub- 
lishes an  Announcement  of  its  Grad- 
uate School.  If  he  will  take  the  time 
to  refer  to  page  121  of  the  last  An- 
nouncement, he  will  find  a  concise, 
but  complete  tabulation  of  the  enroU-

Departments  of  Engineering,  of  Med- 
icine and  Surgery,  of  Law,  and  of 
Pharmacy.  The  names  of  the  enrolled 
students  are  to  be  found  on  pages  ill 

to  I20. 

It  is  also  interesting  to  point  out 
that  the  enrollment  has  not  during  the 
past  five  years  been  as  low  as  that 
given  by  Registrar  Tombo  and  ac- 
cepted by  Professor  Van  Tyne  as  en- 
tirely correct.  This  is  clearly  shown 
by  the  following  table*'

As  said  above,  the  enrollment  in 
the  Graduate  School  for  the  year 
1907-8  of  188  students  does  not  in- 
clude the  students  pursuing  graduate 
studies  in  the  Departments  of  Engin- 
eering, of  Medicine  and  Surgery,  of 
Law,  and  of  Pharmacy.  Hence,  in 
order  to  obtain  figures  which  will  be 
at  all  comparable  with  those  published 
by  other  universities,  especially  Cor- 
nell, Wisconsin,  and  Illinois,  it  is  nec- 
essary to  add  to  the  enrollment  of  the 
Graduate  School,  the  jurisdiction  of 
which  does  not  at  present  extend  be- 
yond the  Department  of  Literature, 
Science,  and  the  Arts,  the  graduate 
students  of  the  other  Departments.  If 
this  be  done,  we  obtain  the  following:

With  the  above  facts  as  to  the  num- 
ber of  students  doing  strictly  graduate 
work  in  the  University  of  Michigan 
during  1907-8  before  us,  let  us  now 
compare  the  same  with  the  registra- 
tion of  the  institutions  named  by  Pro^ 
fessor  Van  Tyne  as  having  a  larger 
attendance.  The  figures  given  below 
have  been  taken,  unless  otherwise  in-

graduate  work  and  make  our  regis- 
tration total  216. 

The  above  tabulation  is  all  that  is 
necessary^  I  believe,  to  show  conclu- 
sively that  Professor  Van  Tyne's 
statements  relating  to  attendance  are 
unwarranted.  The  figures  given  do 
not  take  into  consideration  that  the 
requirements  for  the  master's  degree 
at  Michigan  are  considerably  higher 
than  at  some  of  the  institutions  in- 
cluded in  the  list,  two  of  which  allow 
their  own  graduates  to  obtain  the  de- 
gree for  work  done  wholly  in  absentia, 
another  demands  attendance  upon 
but  three  Summer  Sessions  of  six 
weeks  each,  while  two  others  are  sat- 
isfied with  a  period  of  residence  ex- 
tending over  four  Summer  Sessions 
of  the  same  length. 

Inasmuch  as  Professor  Van  Tyne 
has  based  his  arguments  almost  en- 
tirely upon  the  apparently  very  small 
enrollment  in  our  Graduate  School, 
do  not  his  conclusions  lose  much,  if 
not  all,  of  their  force,  when  the  same 
is  shown  to  be  incorrect? 

Edward  H.  Kraus, 
Secretary  of  the  Graduate  School. 


Editor  AlumnOS: 

It  is  plain  that  Dr.  Kraus  is  k)dcing 
upon  my  article  in  the  last  Alumnus 
in  the  same  frame  of  mind  as  that  in 
which  Luther  said  Erasmus  looked  at 
creation. 

In  reply  to  his  question  upon  the 
verity  of  the  figures  used  in  the  intro- 
ductory paragraph  of  my  article  upon 
the  sources  of  strength  in  graduate 
schools,  I  wish  first  to  call  his  atten- 
tfon  to  the  fact  that  the  figures  I  used 
were  published  in  the  Michigan 
Alumnus  in  January,  1908,  at  which 
time  neither  he  nor  anyone  else  called 
them  in  question,  though  they  had 
the  same  significance  then  which  they 
had  when  my  recent  article  quoted 
them.  The  figures  were  compiled  by 
Professor  Tombo  of  Columbia  uni- 
versity— a  statistician  whose  compila- 
tions of  figures  relative  to  attendance 


in  various  universities  have  long  been 
given  credit  by  academic  men  every- 
where for  he  takes  pains  to  get  from 
the  officers  of  each  university  their 
own  statement  of  the  attendance  sta- 
tistics. In  the  original  manuscript  of 
article  I  referred  in  a  footnote  to  the 
source  of  my  statistics,  but  in  course 
of  printing  the  note  wJts  accidentally 
omitted.  Admitting,  however,  as  I 
frankly  do,  that  I  should  have  veri- 
fied the  figures  for  our  own  institu- 
tion— ^though  I  could  not  for  the  oth- 
er universities  at  the  time  of  writing 
the  article,  some  three  months  ago^ — 
yet  had  I  gone  to  the  Announcement 
of  the  Graduate  School  (which  was 
published  after  my  article  was  writ- 
ten) I  should  have  been  obliged  to 
explain  that  of  the  188  students  there 
registered  53  were  summer  school 
students,  very  few  of  whom  are  bona- 
fide  candidates  for  an  advanced  de- 
gree, and,  moreover,  I  must  have 
frankly  explained  that  27  of  them 
were  instructors  and  assistants  in  our 
own  university. 

Now  as  to  the  figures  offered  by 
Mr.  Kraus  as  a  substitute  for  mine. 
It  is  utterly  impossible  except  in  a 
lengthy  magazine  article  to  call  atten- 
tion to  the  aspect  of  the  figures  of  the 
several  universities  as  they  appear  in 
his  statistics.  When  I  asked  him  to 
give  his  figures  so  that  elements  com- 
mon to  the  several  universities  might 
stand  together  and  not  form  mislead- 
ing totals,  he  replied  by  referring  me 
to  the  last  announcements  of  the  sev- 
eral graduate  schools.  I  have  done 
so,  but  I  can  get  no  results  even  ap- 
proximating the  fieures  found  in  his 
communication.  For  some  universi- 
ties he  has  old  figures ;  for  some,  new ; 
in  some  he  includes  summer  school 
graduates,  in  others  not;  in  some  he 
includes  technical  school  graduates; 
in  others  he  does  not.  His  figures 
in  some  cases  are  second  semester  fig- 
ures, while  mine — or  rather  Mr.  Tom-

for  the  April  number  of  the  Ai«umnu8.

bo's — are  all  first  semester.  If  he  had 
waited  until  next  year  he  might  have 
shown  still  greater  discrepancies.  If 
he  will  prepare  a  statement  wherein 
he  will  include  the  statistics  of  other 
graduate  schools  all  the  odds  and 
ends  that  he  has  gathered  into  ours, 
I  will  attempt  to  show  that  his  fig- 
ures do  not  materially  alter  the  fact 
that  in  the  sole  matter  of  numbers  we 
have  reason  to  be  alarmed. 

As  nearly  as  I  can  make  out  from 
Mr.  Kraus'  revised  figures,  we  are 
only  seventh  or  eighth  in  rank  among 
the  universities  with  whom  we  like 
to  compare  ourselves;  and  with  that 
position  he  seems  content.  But  that 
is  only  in  the  matter  of  brute  num- 
bers. Of  the  much  more  significant 
showing  as  to  the  number  of  students 
attracted  from  other  universities  Mr. 
Kraus  says  nothing.  On  the  subject 
of  university  graduate  publications  he 

Preserves  the  same  cautious  silence, 
^here  is  also  another  subject  connect- 
ed with  the  relative  strength  of  grad- 
uate schools  upon  which  I  maintained 
silence  in  my  article  because  my  at- 
tempt to  investigate  it  revealed  at  an 
early  stage  such  lamentable  weakness 
in  our  institution  that  I  desisted.  It 
will  be  noticed  that  I  have  considered 
all  graduate  students  as  of  the  same 
grade.  If  the  number  of  our  stu- 
dents with  master's  degrees  who  are 
studying  for  the  doctor's  degree  had 
been  compared  with  the  same  advanc- 
ed graduates  in  other  universities  no 
other  reason  for  writing  my  article 
would  have  been  necessary.  If  it  is 
desired,  I  can  furnish  those  figures. 
In  a  word,  Mr.  Kraus  has  seized 
upon  the  least  important  part  of  my 
preliminary  explanation  of  the  reason 
for  writing  my  article,  and  by  discred- 
iting that,  seems  to  believe  that  he 
had  discredited  all.  Why  any  friend 
of  the  University  should  object  to  my 
effort  to  call  attention  to  weak  points 
which  we  may  strengthen  if  we  but 
recognize  the  existence  of  those  weak- 
nesses, I  cannot  see.    I  cannot  agree 


with  my  obscurantist  critic's  evident 
theory  that  if  our  graduate  school  is 
weak,  we  ought  to  keep  the  curtains 
drawn  and  not  expose  the  fact  Those 
who  believe  in  concealment  rather 
than  discussion  must  be  careful  to 
distinguish  between  stimulants  and 
narcotics.  It  is  easy  to  look  dream- 
ily on,  with  star-gazing,  vision-seeing 
eyes,  but  perfect  consciousness  is  a 
far  better  state  of  mind  in  which  to 
to  handle  a  serious  situation.  Person- 
ally, I  am  anxious  to  have  the  Univer- 
sity of  Michigan  second  to  none  in  the 
performance  of  any  educational  func- 
tion which  it  can  perform,  and  to  do 
that  we  have  only  to  be  open-minded, 
ambitious  and  ever  on  the  alert  to 
mend.  There  is  an  academic  democ- 
racy where  none  intrude,  but  I  think 
we  prefer  being  up  amcHig  the  leaders 
where  there  is  always  strife  for  the 
headship.

cine,  to  take  eflfect  at  the  end  of  the 
year,  was  presented  and  accepted  by 
the  Board. — Dr.  Vaughan  presented 
a  communication  concerning  an  ex- 
hibit to  be  held  at  Washington  at  the 
International  Tuberculosis  Congress. 
— A  sum  of  $50  was  appropriated  for 
the  expenses  accompanying  the  grad- 
uation of  the  nurses  at  the  University 
Hospital. — It  was  voted  that  the  medi- 
cal committee  and  building  commit- 
tee jointly  be  asked  to  suggest  a  plan 
for  the  temporary  care  of  patients  in 
the  eye  and  ear  ward. — ^The  Board 
granted  the  request  of  the  Dental 
Faculty  that  three  dental  supply  firms 
be  given  rooms  in  the  basement  of  the 
new  Dental  Building  at  an  annual 
rental  of  $300. — ^The  following  motion 
was  then  presented  by  Regent  Sawyer, 
which  was  adopted  by  unanimous 
vote: 

In  view  of  the  fact  that  the  Attorney 
General  has  been  investigating  the  affairs 
of  the  Secretary's  office  and  of  the  Superin- 
tendent of  Buildings  and  Grounds^  I  move 
that  a  committee  of  three,  consisting  of 
Regents  Knappen,  Hill  and  Beal,  be  ap- 
pointed to  make  an  investigation  to  con- 
fer with  the  Attorney  General  and  to  re- 
port to  this  Board  promptly. 

— ^The  Registrar  of  the  Literary  De- 
partment reported  the  action  of  that 
Department  in  defining  the  term  en- 
trance unit  as  follows:  "The  term 
unit  means  the  equivalent  of  five  reci- 
tations a  week  for  one  year  in  one 
branch  of  study."  This  action  was 
approved  by  the  Board. — ^Leave  of  ab- 
sence was  granted  Professor  S.  L. 
Bigelow  from  June  15  to  July  24  in 


order  that  he  may  fill  a  vacancy  in 
the  University  of  Chicago  for  that 
period. — The  following  letter  of  resig- 
nation from  Secretary  James  H.  Wade 
was  presented  and  accepted: 

The  Honorable  Board  of  Regents: 

Gentlemen:  As  you  are  aware,  I  have 
had  in  mind  for  some  time,  and  bv  reason 
of  my  advancing  age  and  physical  infirm- 
ities incident  thereto,  that  a  younger  and 
more  active  man  should  be  placed  in  charge 
of  the  duties  of  Secretary  of  the  University. 
I  am  now  reminded  by  reason  of  my  pres- 
ent mental  and  physical  condition  I  should 
have  given  this  more  serious  consideration 
some  time  ago.  I  therefore  tender  my 
resignation  as  Secretary  of  the  University 
to  take  eflfect  from  and  after  this  date. 

Ever  conscious  of  the  many  courtesies  I 
have  received  at  your  hand,  I  beg  to  remain. 
Very  respectfully  yours, 
James  H.  Wade. 

Regent  Knappen  read  a  communica- 
tion from  Secretary  Wade  denying 
most  of  the  charges  published  against 
him  in  the  newspaper  press.  On  mo- 
tion of  Regent  Knappen  the  follow- 
ing resolutions  were  unanimously 
adopted : 

Resolved,  That  George  D.  Willcox  is 
hereby  appointed  Secretary  pro  tem.  of  the 
University  of  Michigan  until  the  appoint- 
ment or  election  of  a  permanent  Secretary, 
or  until  the  further  action  of  this  Board. 
His  duties,  however,  are  not  to  include  the 
signing  of  diplomas. 

Resolved,  That  Professor  M.  L.  D*Oogc 
is  hereby  appointed  Acting  Secretary  of  the 
University  until  the  appointment  or  election 
of  a  permanent  Secretary,  but  only  to  the 
extent  and  for  the  purpose  of  signing 
diplomas. 

— The  Board  adjourned  until  June  5.

THE  LIFE  OF  ALICE  FREEMAN  PALMER* 


This  volume  from  the  pen  of 
Professor  George  Herbert  Pahner, 
is  of  absorbing  interest  to  every 
graduate  and  every  student  of  this 
University.  It  pictures  the  life  and 
the  character  of  a  woman,  who 
had  long  been  our  pride.  It  is 
written  with  the  insight  into  her  na- 
ture which  only  a  loving  husband 
could  possess,  and  with  the  grace  and 
felicity  of  style,  which  lend  such  a 
charm  to  every  production  of  Profes- 
sor Palmer's  pen.  This  narrative  and 
portraiture  form  a  unique  contribu- 
tion to  the  literature  of  biography.  In 
the  closing  paragraph  of  his  Introduc- 
tion he  says: 

"In  reference  to  one  feature  of  my 
book  a  little  warning  may  be  well. 
This  is  a  prejudiced  story.  I  am  far 
from  a  dispassionate,  or  even  a  de- 
tached observer  of  her  whom  I  would 
make  known.  She  and  I  had  become 
pretty  completely  one.  Often  my 
only  way  of  telling  about  her  is  to 
tell  about  myself.  The  bode,  there- 
fore, while  ostensibly  a  biography, 
claims  many  privileges  of  an  autobiog- 
raphy, and  might  properly  enough  be 
called  the  autobiography  of  a  friend. 
In  it  I  must  be  allowed  abundant  ego- 
tism, reminiscence,  admiration,  per- 
sonal disclosure.  But  perhaps  such  a 
compound  method  will  not  be  thought 
inappropriate  in  a  portrait  of  one 
whose  constant  habit  it  was  to  mingle 
her  abounding  life  with  that  of  oth- 
ers. 

He  traces  her  life  through  four  un- 
equal periods,  to  which  he  assigns 
special  names.  The  first.  The  Family 
Life,  extends  from  her  birth  in  a 
rural    town    in   Central    New   York,

meantime  studied  medicine,  had  set-

colleges  and  her  Presidency  of  Welles-

pression of  Herself,  paints  for  us  her 
domestic  life  and  her  public  services 
on  educational  boards,  in  addresses, 
and  in  a  voluminous  correspondence. 

We  shall  best  serve  our  readers  by 
giving  as  copious  extracts  from  the 
book  as  our  space  will  permit.  We 
are  confident  that  they  will  eagerly 
seek  to  complete  the  story  by  turning 
to  the  volume  itself.  Since  peculiar 
interest  must  here  attach  to  the  chap- 
ter of  her  life  at  this  University,  we 
quote  a  large  part  of  it. 

"In  June,  1872,  Dr.  Freeman  tock 
his  daughter  to  Ann  Arbor  to  see  the 
University,  attend  Commencement, 
and  pass  the  entrance  examinations. 
But  here  her  resolution  met  with  a 
sharp  rebuff.  She  failed.  Good  as 
the  Academy  had  been  for  supplying 
general  knowledge,  it  was  poorly 
equipped  for  preparing  pupils  for  col- 
lege. The  failure,  however,  proved 
as  fortunate  as  everything  else  which 
befell  this  favored  girl,  for  it  brought 
brought  her  to  the  notice  of  the  re- 
markable man  who  from  that  day  took 
her  under  his  peculiar  charge.  Pres- 
ident Angell  himself  shall  tell  the 
story : — 

*ln  1872,  when  Alice  Freeman  pre- 
sented herself  at  my  office,  accompan- 
ied by  her  father,  to  apply  for  admis- 
sion to  the  University,  she  was  a  sim- 
ple modest  girl  of  seventeen.  She 
had  pursued  her  studies  in  the  little

Academy  at  Windsor.  Her  teachers 
regarded  her  as  a  child  of  much  prom- 
ise, precocious,  possessed  of  a  bright, 
alert  mind,  of  great  industry,  of  quick 
sympathies,  and  of  an  instinctive  de- 
sire to  be  helpful  to  others.  Her  prep- 
aration for  college  had  been  meagre, 
and  both  she  and  her  father  were 
doubtful  of  her  ability  to  pass  the  re- 
quired examinations.  The  doubts 
were  not  without  foundation.  The 
examiners,  on  inspecting  her  work, 
were  inclined  to  decide  that  she  ought 
to  do  more  preparatory  work  before 
they  could  accept  her.  Meantime  I 
had  had  not  a  little  conversation  with 
her  and  her  father,  and  had  been  im- 
pressed with  her  high  intelligence.  At 
my  request  the  examiners  decided  to 
allow  her  to  enter  on  a  trial  of  six 
weeks.  I  was  confident  she  would  de- 
monstrate her  capacity  to  go  on  with 
her  class.  I  need  hardly  add  that  it 
was  soon  apparent  to  her  instructors 
that  my  confidence  was  fully  justified. 
She  speedily  gained  and  constantly 
held  an  excellent  position  as  a  schol- 
ar." 

"But  the  deficiencies  of  the  past 
hampered  progress.  Already  she  was 
much  in  need  of  rest  after  the  strain 
of  preparation ;  yet  all  the  summer  be- 
fore entrance  had  to  be  spent  in  clear- 
ing away  conditions,  and  she  remained 
in  Ann  Arbor  through  the  vacations 
of  that  year,  engaged  in  study  for  the 
same  purpose.  This  business  of  re- 
moving conditions  went  on,  too,  side 
by  side  with  the  regular  college  work, 
lowering  the  grade  of  the  latter  and 
causing  frequent  exhaustion.  At  in- 
tervals the  assistance  of  a  teacher  be- 
came necessary,  still  further  depleting 
her  scanty  means.  Throughout  her 
college  course  solicitudes  over  time, 
health,  and  money  never  ceased.  Yet 
anxieties  seem  rather  to  have  caused 
elation  over  what  was  already  had 
than  depression  over  what  might  be 
missed.  College  training  had  been  so 
long  desired  that  it  was  welcomed  now 
on  any  terms. 


"All  this  Miss  Freeman  felt.  To  her 
the  absurdly  named  town  of  Ann  Ar- 
bor was  ever  afterwards  sacred  soil. 
She  visited  it  as  often  as  possible,  and 
everywhere  her  face  brightened  at  the 
sight  of  a  classmate.  Notwithstand- 
ing many  disturbances,  she  has  re- 
peatedly told  me  of  the  extreme  pleas- 
ure and  profit  of  these  years;  and  in 
her  little  book,  'Why  Go  to  College,' 
she  has  given  a  glowing  picture  of 
the  gain  which  the  experiences  of  col- 
lege bring  to  every  earnest  girl.  I 
regret  therefore  that  most  of  her  col- 
lege letters,  being  chiefly  of  a  busi- 
iless  nature,  imperfectly  express  her 
gaiety  or  even  her  studious  interests. 
From  them,  however,  aided  by  the 
recollection  of  classmates,  I  am  able 
to  present  a  tolerable  account  of  her 
intellectual,  social,  religious,  physical, 
and  financial  progress  during  these 
college  years. 

"Her  scholarly  work  cannot,  I  sup- 
pose, be  called  quite  solid.  There  was 
too  much  of  it  for  that.  The  regular 
studies  were  abundant;  the  addition 
of  those  which  should  have  been  end- 
ed in  the  preparatory  school  made  the 
amount  burdensome ;  and  this  became 
overwhelming  when  increased  by  the 
worthy  engagements  outside  study 
which  in  this  place  of  opportunity  so- 
licited a  hitherto  secluded  girl.  From 
intellectual  disaster  she  was  saved  by 
a  peculiarity  of  her  constitution.  To 
an  astonishing  degree  she  was  always 
swiftly  absorptive.  Whatever  in  her 
neighborhood  contained  human  nutri- 
ment was  perceived  and  seized  at 
once.  All  became  hers  with  slight 
expenditure  of  time  or  effort. 
Throughout  life  she  gathered  half- 
instinctively  an  amount  of  knowledge 
which  others  obtain  only  by  toil.  A 
mother  whose  son  was  in  the  Univer- 
sity at  this  time  relates  how  he  used 
to  come  home  saying,  "There's  a  girl 
in  my  class  who  knows  everything — 
cverjrthing !"  And  one  who  was  as- 
sociated with  her  in  the  teaching  of 
history  at  Wellesley  tells  me  that  she

herself  rarely  gained  any  new  historic 
insight  and  reported  it  to  Miss  Free- 
man without  finding  that  Miss  Free- 
man was  familiar  with  it  already.  In- 
deed her  sympathy  with  truth  was  so 
broad  and  discerning  that  reality 
opened  itself  to  her  on  every  side. 
Could  she  have  had  more  leisure  at 
the  University,  she  might  have  dis- 
tinguished herself  there;  though  per- 
haps even  then  her  liking  for  every 
species  of  knowledge  would  have  pre- 
vented eminence.  She  would  not  con- 
centrate attention  on  certain  subjects 
to  the  neglect  of  others.  Such  spec- 
ialization was  less  the  habit  of  her  day 
than  of  ours.  So  she  was  free  to  ap- 
proach all,  and  in  all  she  managed 
to  obtain  a  good  rank.  History, 
Greek,  English  literature,  and  to  some 
extent  mathematics,  were  the  studies 
that  left  the  deepest  impression; 
chiefly,  I  suspect,  because  of  the  ex- 
cellence of  the  instruction  in  these 
subjects. 

**Her  memory  was  good  and  her  ob- 
servation accurate.  I  think  she  re- 
tained more  of  what  she  learned  than 
is  common.  One  is  often  struck  with 
the  small  stock  of  knowledge  carried 
off  from  study,  even  by  those  who  ob- 
tain through  it  decided  intellectual  ad- 
vantage. Maturing  influences  and  facts 
acquired  seem  to  have  little  relation; 
and  no  doubt  if  one  of  these  is  to  be 
lost,  the  detailed  truths  had  better  go. 
Miss  Freeman  kept  a  good  balance 
between  the  contrasted  gains.  Dur- 
ing these  years  her  mind  grew  rapidly 
in  range,  subtlety,  coherence,  and  in 
persistent  power  of  work.  But  she 
bore  away  also  a  body  of  knowledge 
which  served  her  well  in  her  career 
as  a  teacher  and  in  the  subsequent 
varied  demands  of  a  busy  life.  At 
Commencement  a  part  was  assigned 
her,  one  of  the  first  granted  to  the 
girl  students  of  Michigan.  President 
Angell  tells  me  it  captured  the  atten- 
tion of  her  audience  and  held  it  firm- 
ly throughout.  Its  subject  was  "The 
Relations  of  Science  and  Poetrv" — an 


indication,  I  suppose,  that  she  had  al- 
ready come  upon  some  of  the  funda- 
mental problems  which  vex  the  schol- 
ar's mind. 

But  of  at  least  equal  importance 
with  the  knowledge  acquired  in  col- 
lege is  the  influence  on  a  student  of 
the  personality  of  his  teachers.  Some 
of  these,  it  is  true,  will  always  be 
mere  purveyors  of  knowledge ;  others, 
more  insignificant  still,  inspectors  of 
what  has  been  learned  already.  But 
.  in  every  college  faculty  there  are  pret- 
ty sure  to  be  certain  men  of  mark, 
from  whom — sometimes  in  the  course 
of  instruction,  sometimes  through  per- 
sonal acquaintance — a  student  half- 
imperceptibly  carries  off  impressions 
and  impulses  of  incalculable  worth. 
In  such  weighty  personalities  the  Un- 
iversity of  Michigan  in  Miss  Free- 
man's time  was  exceptionally  rich. 
Half  a  dozen  of  them  helped  to  shape 
this  responsive  girl.  Of  familiar  in- 
tercourse with  her  teachers  I  suspect 
she  enjoyed  more  than  is  generally 
obtainable  today.  President  and  Mrs. 
Angell  had  her  much  in  their  beauti- 
ful home,  as  did  in  diflFerent  degrees 
Professors  D'Ooge,  Tyler  and  Adams. 
These  men  enriched  her  outside  the 
classroom  and  became  her  lifelong 
friends.  While  she  was  in  college 
they  watched  over  her  carefully,  and 
when  she  went  forth  they  opened  be- 
fore her  the  difficult  doors  of  the 
world. 

"In  those  days  women's  education 
was  an  anxious  experiment.  At  grad- 
uation her  class  contained  sixty-four 
men  and  eleven  women.  The  girls 
were  therefore  studied  by  others  and 
themselves  a  little  unduly.  Heartily 
welcomed  everywhere  though  they 
were,  they  could  not  take  what  each 
day  brought  quite  as  a  matter  of 
course.  Being  pioneers  and  repre- 
sentatives of  many  who  would  come 
afterwards,  they  were  burdened  with 
a  sense  of  responsibility.  According 
as  they  conducted  themselves  their 
sisters  would  have  ampler  or  narrow-

er  opportunities.  Such  conscious  con- 
ditions insure  uprightness,  but  are 
hardly  so  favorable  for  ease  and  the 
graces.  They  had  at  least  the  good 
eflfect  of  banding  the  girls  together 
and  uniting  the  little  group  by  some- 
thing like  a  family  tie.  Though  Miss 
Freeman  was  one  of  the  younger 
members  of  this  family,  she  quickly 
became  its  head  by  virtue  of  her  prac- 
tical sagacity,  moral  force,  and  per- 
sonal attractiveness.  President  An- 
gell  writes: — 

"One  of  her  most  striking  charac- 
teristics in  college  was  her  warm  and 
demonstrative  sympathy  with  her  cir- 
cle of  friends.  Her  soul  seemed  bub- 
bling over  with  joy,  which  she  wished 
to  share  with  the  other  girls.  While 
she  was  therefore  in  the  most  friendly 
relations  with  all  the  girls  then  in 
college,  she  was  the  radiant  centre  of 
a  considerable  group  whose  tastes 
were  congenial  with  her  own.  With- 
out assuming  or  striving  for  leader- 
ship, she  could  not  but  be  to  a  certain 
degree  a  leader  among  these,  some  of 
wlK>m  have  since  attained  positions 
only  less  conspicuous  for  usefulness 
than  her  own.  Her  nature  was  so 
large  and  generous,  so  free  from  envy, 
that  she  was  esteemed  by  all  her  com- 
rades, whether  they  cherished  exactly 
her  ideals  or  not.  Wherever  she  wentf^ 
her  genial  outgoing  spirit  seemed  to 
carry  with  her  an  atmosphere  of 
cheerfulness  and  joy.  No  girl  of  her 
time  on  withdrawing  from  college 
would  have  been  more  missed  than 
she." 

"She  joined  several  college  dubs, 
distinguished  herself  in  the  debating 
society,  was  fond  of  long  walks 
through  the  fertile  Michigan  country, 
and  always  had  leisure  for  a  share  in 
whatever  picnic,  sleig^de,  or  stu- 
dent entertainment  called  for  merri- 
ment, adventure,  inventiveness,  or  so- 
cial tact. 

"Throughout  life  she  thought  hier- 
self  fortunate  in  having  chosen  a  co- 
educational college.    The  natural  as- 


sociation of  girls  with  boys  in  inter- 
ests of  a  noble  sort  tends,  she  be- 
lieved, to  broaden  their  vision,  to  sol- 
idify their  minds,  and  to  remove  much 
that  is  hectic  and  unwholesome  from 
the  awakening  instincts  of  sex.  She 
did  not  think  it  made  girls  boyish,  or 
boys  girlish;  but  merely  that  it 
brought  good  sense  and  a  pleased 
companionship  to  take  the  place  of 
giddiness  and  sentimentality.  She 
used  to  say  that  coeducational  mar- 
riages seldom  appear  in  the  divorce 
courts.  I  think  her  own  manners — 
as  quiet  and  free  among  men  as  among 
women — owed  much  of  their  natural- 
ness to  the  fact  that  at  no  period  of 
her  life  did  men  become  strange.  Pro- 
fessor Hale  of  Chicago  has  well  said, 
"It  was  Mrs.  Palmer's  conviction  that 
the  normal  form  of  education  for  both 
sexes  is  that  in  which  the  natural  re- 
lations— ^begun  in  the  life  of  the  home 
and  the  neighborhood,  continued  for 
the  great  majority  in  the  life  of  the 
school,  and  inevitably  existing  in  the 
later  social  life — ^are  carried  without 
break  through  the  four  years  of  high- 
er intellectual  work.  She  may  have 
been  right  or  she  may  have  been 
wrong;  but  that  such  a  woman,  with 
her  personal  experience  of  Ann  Ar- 
bor, of  Wellesley,  of  Radcliffe,  and  of 
Harvard,  should  have  held  this  belief 
is  a  fact  to  be  reckoned  with."  In 
tracing  her  development  at  Ann  Ar- 
bor we  must  not  omit  to  notice  the 
ability  she  gained  there  to  comprehend 
a  man's  world.  Certainly  from  that 
university  came  many  of  the  best 
ideals  of  college  structure  which  sub- 
sequently entered  into  the  foundation 
of  Wellesley.  I  doubt  if  she  could 
have  built  that  woman's  college  so 
strongly  if  she  had  not  herself  been 
trained  in  the  company  of  men. 

"Side  by  side  with  the  studious  and 
social  interests  of  college  life  went 
religion,  of  which  they  were  in  reality 
only  a  special  expression ;  for  religion 
glorified  her  entire  existence.  One 
who  knew  her  well  at  this  time  says

[June 


that  even  then  "her  religious  life  was 
of  that  cheerful,  inspiring  type  which 
characterized  it  in  her  maturer  years 
and  which  always  commended  the 
Christian  faith  in  winsome  ways  to 
those  who  came  within  her  influence." 

"Every  Sunday  she  attended  two 
church  services,  taught  in  the  Sunday 
School,  in  a  mission  school  also,  and 
was  usually  present  at  one  or  two 
services  during  the  week.  But  into 
the  College  Christian  Association  she 
threw  herself  with  the  utmost  ardor, 
vitalizing  that  body  and  delivering  it 
from  the  narrowness  which  in  those 
days  often  beset  such  organizations. 
She  brought  it  to  represent  more  than 
a  single  tyoe  of  character.  While  she 
was  its  leader  it  became  a  strong  pow- 
er for  righteousness  throughout  the 
entire  town.  To  her,  her  classmates, 
men  and  women,  most  naturally  turn- 
ed as  a  spiritual  adviser.  The  knowl- 
edge she  thus  obtained  of  the  trou- 
bles of  the  young,  real  or  imaginary, 
proved  useful  in  the  larger  contacts 
of  later  years,  and  even  now  began  to 
shape  the  ideals  of  what  she  meant 
to  do.  Before  she  left  college,  the  de- 
sire to  deepen,  to  lighten,  to  render 
more  intelligent  and  joyOus  the  lives 
of  girls  and  women,  had  become  clear- 
ly defined. 

"I  have  said  that  consumption  was 
in  her  family,  and  that  from  child- 
hood she  had  never  been  strong.  The 
lungs  and  heart  were  weak  and  there 
was  a  disposition  to  colds  and  fatigue. 
That  "outgoing  spirit"  too,  of  which 
President  Angell  speaks,  continually 
exposed  her  to  excessive  strain. 
Whatever  human  interest  or  need  ap- 
peared in  her  neighborhood  was  pret- 
ty sure  to  receive  attention.  To  con- 
sider and  spare  herself  never  became 
instinctive,  though  in  later  years  she 
trained  her  powers  to  some  degree  of 
restraint  for  the  sake  of  broader  use. 
But  swift  responsiveness  and  a  kind 
of  spendthrift  generosity  have  ever 
been  beautiful  faults  of  admirable  wo- 
men.   Even  Providence  seems  unfair- 


ly indulgent  to  self-forgetting  souls 
and  unaccountably  wards  off  from 
them  appropriate  harm.  How  she  ac- 
complished all  she  did,  accomplished 
it  too  with  distinction,  is  a  mystery. 
On  account  of  an  interruption  in  her 
junior  year,  she  had  as  a  senior  twen- 
ty hours  a  week  of  recitations,  and  no 
less  as  a  freshman,  though  her  social 
and  religious  engagements  were  alone 
sufficient  to  fill  her  time.  Yet  she 
graduated,  as  do  most  girls,  stronger 
than  she  entered.  Studying  is  whole- 
some business;  and  after  all,  college 
life  has  more  regular  hours  and  more 
invigorating  agencies  than  most 
homes  can  offer.  But  considering  her 
inheritance,  the  exhausting  nature  of 
the  last  two  years  at  Windsor,  and 
the  burden  of  her  deficient  prepara- 
tion, it  is  not  strange  that  her  letters 
often  speak  of  being  "tired"  and  of 
the  hope  that  her  cold  "will  be  better 
next  week."  One  of  the  professors 
whom  she  saw  oftenest  tells  me  he 
frequently  remonstrated  with  her  over 
the  cough  she  brought  to  college,  a 
cough  which  continued  until  a  few 
years  before  her  death. 

"Financial  anxieties  burdened  her 
too.  There  was  always  imcertain- 
ty  whether  she  would  be  able  to  con- 
tinue another  year.  From  the  b^^- 
ning  her  parents  had  strained  their 
slender  purse  to  the  utmost,  and  she 
herself  earned  whatever  was  possible. 
But  resources  still  remained  small  and 
expenses  large.  To  bring  the  two  at 
all  together  called  for  restraint,  cour- 
age, ingenuity,  and  a  readiness  to  do 
things  for  herself.  .  .  .  She  did 
not  wait  for  consultation  with  her 
family,  but  applied  at  once  to  Presi- 
dent Angell  for  a  position  as  a  teach- 
er, accepted  an  appointment,  travelled 
to  her  new  home  at  Ottawa,  Illinois, 
and  was  already  established  in  her 
duties  there  before  she  informed  her 
parents.  This  was  in  January,  1875, 
when  she  was  not  twenty  years  old." 

Several  letters  written  by  her  in 
this  period  are  given.    We  quote  one:

"I  have  just  passed  five  examina- 
tions and  feel  pretty  well  satisfied  with 
the  result  of  my  semester's  work.  We 
had  the  usual  number  of  visitors  and 
spectators.  I  was  called  up  for  oral 
examination  in  everything,  but  was 
fortunate  enough  not  to  blunder  and 
so  can't  complain." 

"In  Latin  something  happened  which 
amused  the  boys  very  much.  Profes- 
sor Frieze  has  just  returned  from 
Europe  and  of  course  doesn't  know 
any  of  us  yet.  After  we  had  been 
writing  for  some  time  and  all  the 
company  had  come  in,  our  Professor 
Walter  called  up  Miss  Freeman.  He 
named  one  of  Horace's  long  hard  Sa- 
tires, giving  me  a  hock  and  asking 
me  to  read  it,  "thinking  it  would  be 
interesting  to  the  gentlemen."  It 
happened  to  be  one  I  knew  perfectly, 
and  I  read  it  immediately — ^apparent- 
ly to  the  astonishment  of  Professor 
Frieze.  As  I  finished,  Professor  Wal- 
ter said  to  him,  "Have  you  any  ques- 
tions?" Professor  Frieze  lodc^  at 
me  gravely,  shook  his  head,  and 
growled,  "No.  What's  her  name?" 
Then  the  boys  laughed." 

"In  Greek  too  I  couldn't  have  asked 
a  better  chance  to  show  oflf.  Profes- 
sor Pattengill  expressed  his  approba- 
tion. This  is  boasting  enough,  but  I 
thought  you'd  want  to  know  how  your 
little  girl  is  prospering.  There  is  an 
tmheard-of  number  conditioned,  over 
eighty  in  one  class,  but  only  one  girl. 
Our  class,  too,  is  noted  for  its  high 
scholarship.  My  special  studies  this 
semester  are  Juvenal's  Satires,  Calcu- 
lus, and  Astronomy,  with  all  of  which 
I  am  delighted." 

The  chapters  devoted  to  her  life 
at  Welleslty  as  Professor  and  Presi- 
dent are  of  deep  interest,  and  full  of 
instruction  to  teachers.  She  was  call- 
ed to  the  Presidency  at  the  age  of 
twenty-six. 

The  following  paragnq)h  shows  her 
characteristic  resourcefulness  in  as- 
suming the  great  responsibility 
thrown  upoa  her. 


"I  have  already  shown  the  neces- 
sarily disturbed  condition  of  the  col- 
lege in  these  early  years.  There  were 
now  fears  of  trouble  from  the  more 
than  usually  animated  senior  class. 
They  had  intimations  of  the  election 
almost  as  soon  as  Miss  Freeman 
learned  it  herself,  and  were  much  elat- 
ed over  the  prospect  of  being  ruled 
by  a  president  but  little  older  than 
themselves.  When  Miss  Freeman  re- 
turned to  her  rooms,  she  sent  for  this 
class.  They  came  in  a  body,  filling 
with  their  merry  presence  all  her 
chairs,  tables,  and  floor.  She  told 
them  she  had  called  them  together  be- 
cause she  needed  their  advice.  She 
had  been  asked  that  day  to  become 
acting  president  of  Wellesley.  She 
was  too  young  for  the  office.  Indeed, 
its  duties  were  too  heavy  for  any  one. 
If  she  must  meet  them  alone,  she 
would  have  to  decline.  But  it  had 
occurred  to  her  that  perhaps  they 
would  be  willing  to  take  part  with 
her,  looking  after  the  order  of  the  col- 
lege themselves,  and  leaving  her  free 
for  general  administration.  If  they 
were  ready  to  undertake  this,  she 
thought  she  might  accept.  Of  course 
the  response  was  hearty.  They  voted 
themselves  her  assistants  on  the  spot, 
and  difficult  indeed  it  was  for  any 
member  of  the  three  lower  classes  to 
stray  from  the  straight  path  that  year. 
I  once  a^ed  Mrs.  Palmer  how  she 
managed  to  survive  the  severities  of 
a  first  presidential  year,  and  she  an- 
swered tfiat  she  could  not  have  done 
it  if  she  had  not  had  the  help  of  the 
seniors.  Of  the  instantaneous  re- 
sourcefulness which  secured  her  that 
help  she  said  nothing.  This  I  have 
learned  since  her  death  from  a  mem- 
ber of  the  dass." 

Her  substitution  for  the  somewhat 
mechanical  and  pietistic  type  of  reli- 
gious life  which  the  founder  of  the 
college  had  introduced  of  a  more  ra- 
tional and  effective  manner  of  culti- 
vating a  truly  religious  spirit  was  one 
of  the    many    noteworthy    changes

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[June 


which  her  tact  enabled  her  to  make 
without  friction.  But  we  must  read 
the  whole  of  the  seventh  and  eighth 
chapters  to  appreciate  how  many  and 
how  important  were  the  changes 
which  she  wrought  in  the  whole  or- 
ganization and  life  of  the  college,  so 
Siat  it  was  fairly  started  on  the  career 
which  has  made  its  subsequent  history 
so  creditable.  One  learns  there  the 
secret  so  far  as  it  can  be  revealed  of 
her  extraordinary  power  over  her 
girls.  Every  teacher  of  girls  should 
intently  study  these  chapters. 

The  chapter  on  Alice  Freeman's 
marriage  treats  with  admirable  deli- 
cacy and  cogency  the  question  which 
was  much  discussed  at  Uie  time  of  her 
resignation  of  the  Presidency  whether 
her  duty  to  the  college  did  not  require 
her  to  remain  unmarried  in  its  service. 
President  Eliot  after  her  death  uttered 
the  following  wise  words  on  the  sub- 
ject: 

"After  six  years  of  masterly  woik 
at  Wellesley  College,  in  which  she  ex- 
hibited the  keenest  intelligence,  large 
executive  ability,  and  a  remarkable 
capacity  for  winning  affection  and  re- 
spect, she  laid  down  these  ftmctions, 
married  at  the  age  of  thirty-two,  and 
apparently  entered  on  a  wholly  new 
career.  Alice  Freeman  thus  gave  the 
most  striking  testimony  she  could  give 
of  her  faith  in  the  fundamental  social 
principle  that  love  between  man  and 
woman,  and  the  family  life  which  re- 
sults therefrom,  afford  for  each  sex 
the  conditions  of  its  greatest  useful- 
ness and  honor,  and  of  its  supreme 
happiness.  The  opponents  of  the 
higher  education  of  women  had  always 
argued  that  such  education  would  tend 
to  prevent  marriage  and  to  dispossess 
the  family  as  the  cornerstone  of  so- 
ciety. Alice  Freeman  gave  the  whole 
force  of  her  conspicuous  example  to 
disprove  that  objection.  She  illus- 
trated in  her  own  case  the  supremacy 
of  love  and  of  family  life  in  the  heart 
of  both  man  and  woman." 

But  it  must  not  be  supposed  that  on 


her  marriage  she  laid  aside  public 
duties. 

She  retained  a  place  on  the  Execu- 
tive Committee  of  the  Trustees  of 
Wellesley  College  and  gave  much  at- 
tention to  its  interests. 

In  1892  President  Harper  induced 
her  to  accept  the  Deanship  of  Women 
in  Chicago  University  witfi  the  under- 
standing that  she  need  not  remain 
there  more  than  twelve  weeks  in  the 
year.  She  held  the  position  for  three 
years  and  the  gratitude  for  her  work 
has  been  evinced  by  the  placing  of  a 
chime  of  bells  in  her  honor  in  the 
tower. 

She  took  an  active  part  in  the  or- 
ganization of  Radcliffe  College  in 
Cambridge  and  in  the  resuscitation  of 
tfie  Bradford  Academy. 

She  gave  much  time  and  labor  to 
the  forming  of  the  Collegiate  Alumme 
Association  which  has  now  endowed 
a  fellowship  in  her  name. 

In  1889  the  Governor  of  Massachu- 
setts appointed  her  a  member  of  the 
State  Board  of  Education,  which  has 
charge  of  the  eight  Normal  Schools 
in  that  Commonwealth.  She  retained 
that  position  till  her  death,  and  gave 
to  it  a  great  amount  of  time  and  labor. 

These  are  a  few  of  the  many  activi- 
ties which  engrossed  her  attention  in 
her  leisure  hours.  In  reading  the 
chapters  descriptive  of  her  public  and 
semi-public  occupations  one  wonders 
how  she  found  time  for  her  large  cor- 
respondence and  her  many  public  ad- 
dressese,  while  as  a  devoted  wife  she 
was  skilfully  conducting  her  attractive 
home  in  Csunbridge. 

In  respect  to  the  demands  made 
upon  her  for  counsel  and  to  her  will- 
ing responses  at  whatever  cost  of 
strength.  Professor  Palmer  says: 

"Being  known  to  have  uncommon 
administrative  talents  and  entire  readi- 
ness to  place  them  at  the  service  of 
whoever  needed  them,  she  became  dur- 
ing these  years  in  Cambridge  a  kind 
of  educational  adviser.  Schools  and 
colleges  all  over  the  country  turned  to

her  in  their  perplexities,  seldom  in 
vain.  She  knew  the  right  candidate  to 
recommend  for  professor,  dean,  trus- 
tee, or  even  president,  and  she  chose 
him  with  singular  adaptation  to  his 
environment.  In  discussing  problems 
of  administration  she  was  ingenious 
in  suggestion,  divining  by  a  kind  of 
instinct  what  would  or  would  not  work 
under  the  given  circumstances.  Only 
the  circumstances  must  be  actual,  in 
order  to  bring  out  her  best  powers  of 
judgment.  Give  her  a  theoretic  prob- 
lem in  educational  tactics,  and  you 
might  find  her  uninterested  and  get  a 
commonplace  reply.  But  let  her  feel 
a  living  school  or  college  in  difficulty, 
and  she  would  almost  immediately 
perceive  some  shrewd  way  out.  This 
dangerous  sagacity  overwhelmed  her 
with  correspondence,  a  correspondence 
so  perscMial  that  she  generally  pre- 
ferred to  conduct  it  with  her  own  pen. 
As  soon  as  she  entered  the  house  she 
sat  down  at  her  desk,  where  she  re- 
mained pretty  steadily  until  summoned 
by  callers.  Calls  of  a  formal  sort  she 
did  not  herself  make,  but  only  calls 
of  business  and  occasionally  of  re- 
freshment. During  one  of  her  busiest 
winters  she  spent  half  an  hour  each 
week  with  the  two  children  of  a  Bos- 
ton friend.  Throwing  herself  on  the 
floor,  she  built  block  houses  with  them^ 
told  stories,  or  dallied  with  Noah'i 
Ark,  until  the  clock  announced  a  com- 
mittee meeting.  But  calls  on  herself 
were  regarded  as  even  more  sacred 
than  letters.  She  reserved  an  after- 
noon a  week  for  them,  besides  having 
them  distributed  through  all  other 
days.  Nobody  was  dismissed  briefly. 
By  her  fireside  one  got  the  impression 
that  time  was  lazily  abundant.  I  think 
she  did  not  know  a  bore  when  she  saw 
him — and  she  saw  him  under  every 
guise.  Sometimes  he  appeared  as  the 
crazy  schemer,  anxious  to  hitch  his 
rickety  wagon  to  her  auspicious  star. 
Even  then,  while  protected  by  her  own 
good  sense,  she  would  not  damage 
that  self-confidence  which  was  his  cmly 


possession.  These  direct  contacts 
with  persons  through  calls  and  letters 
she  valued  extremely;  and  large  as 
was  the  draft  they  made  on  her  time, 
they  were  probably  worth  while.  To 
them  she  had  been  disciplined  at 
Wellesley,  and  by  them  she  recreated 
many  a  human  soul. 

"I  have  said  nothing  about  her  pub- 
lic speeches,  for  the  truth  is  I  have 
rarely  heard  them.  Whenever  she 
spoke  I  was  obliged  to  have  an  im- 
portant engagement  elsewhere.  Her 
banishment  of  me  was  not  through 
timidity,  I  think.  Few  speakers  have 
so  little  of  that.  But  in  addressing  an 
audience,  she  used  to  say,  she  must 
speak  to  all  and  not  to  any  single  one 
among  them.  Yet  again  and  again 
some  obscure  person  from  her  audi- 
ence has  told  me  that  it  seemed  as  if 
all  she  said  was  intended  for  him 
alone,  such  penetrating  intimacy  was 
in  her  words.  Quietly  they  fell,  as  if 
in  her  own  library;  the  simple  lan- 
guage touched  with  a  strange  veracity, 
the  clinging  voice  modulated  so  that 
the  farthest  auditor  listened  with 
pleasure ;  while  the  swift  sentences  un- 
folded her  theme  smoothly,  tactfully, 
often  humorously;  anecdote,  argu- 
ment, home-thrust,  or  thrilling  passage 
within  easy  command,  and  all  welded 
together  so  solidly  and  with  so  little 
self-consciousness  that  at  the  close  it 
seemed  impossible  to  take  any  other 
view  of  the  subject  than  the  one  pre- 
sented. President  Angell  has  said  that 
'few  speakers  have  in  so  large  measure 
as  she  that  magnetic  unanalyzable 
power,  divinely  given  now  and  then 
to  some  fortunate  man  or  woman,  of 
captivating  and  charming  and  holding 
complete  possession  of  assemblies  from 
the  first  to  the  last  utterance.* " 

One  of  the  most  charming  chapters 
pictures  the  life  at  the  rural  home  in 
Boxford,  which  Mr.  Palmer's  mater- 
nal ancestors  had  possessed  for  three 
hundred  years  and  more.  This  se- 
cluded spot  was  the  hiding  place  and 
resting  place  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Palmer

in  the  summer.  The  description  of 
their  life  there  is  an  idyl  in  prose. 
The  writer,  who  has  enjoyed  their 
hospitality  there,  can  testify  that  the 
picture  is  not  overdrawn.  No  extract 
from  the  chapter  can  do  it  justice.  It 
must  be  read  entire,  including  the 
poems  which  Mrs.  Palmer  wrote  in 
that  quite  spot.  Those  poems  will  be 
to  most  of  her  friends  the  revelation 
of  a  gift,  which  they  have  not  known 
until  since  her  death  that  she  pos- 
sessed. 

A  tenderly  pathetic  chapter  gives  us 
the  details  of  her  last  days,  her  brief 
illness,  and  her  death  in  Paris,  and  a 


final  chapter,  which  we  should  be  glad 
to  quote  entire,  g^ves  us  Mr.  Palmer  s 
analysis  of  her  powers,  her  tempera- 
ment, and  intellectual  g^fts. 

We  cannot  but  hope  that  the  perusal 
of  this  volume  by  our  graduates  and 
friends  will  stimulate  them  to  hasten 
the  completion  of  our  undertaking  to 
establish  an  Alice  Freeman  Palmer 
Fellowship  here  to  be  tenable  by  a 
graduate  woman. 

We  are  sure  that  the  book  will  be 
a  most  inspiring  influence  on  all  the 
young  women  who  read  the  record  of 
this  remarkable  life  and  character.

score:  Heath,  a  second  in  the  broad  jump, 
and  Rowe,  a  second  in  the  mile  mn. 

Michigan's  boasted  supremacy  in  the  long 
runs  was  not  in  evidence,  but  a  conspiraqr 
of  the  fates  and  the  elements  may  be  urged 
in  extenuation  of  such  a  signal  defeat 
Coe,  in  the  half-mile,  suffering  from  tonsil- 
itis,  found  the  track  too  heavy  for  him, 
and,  after  being  twice  fouled  by  Prantz,  of 
Princeton,  was  passed  by  four  men  in  the 
stretch. 

Rowe,  who  went  into  the  mile  in  an 
overtrained  condition,  held  the  lead  till 
within  fifty  yards  of  the  finish.  At  this 
point  Halstcd  cut  in  sharply  in  front  of 
him  and  some  mud  from  his  shoe  was  cast 
into  Rowe's  face,  blinding  him.  But  even 
then  Rowe  tried  hard  to  catch  the  Cornell 
runner,  and  was  beaten  by  less  than  a 
foot 

At  the  end  of  the  sixth  lap  in  the  two- 
mile.  Dull  and  May  were  leading  comfort- 
ably, when  an  official  ran^  the  bell  for  the 
last  lap,  and,  discovermg  his  mistake 
warned  the  other  runners.  But  Dull  and 
May  sprinted  ahead  and  finished  the  sev- 
enth lap  forty  yards  ahead  of  the  field. 
At  this  point  fliey  were  told  to  run  another 
lap.  Exhausted  as  they  were,  they  com- 
pleted the  distance,  but  were  passed  in  the 
stretch. 

Heath  fulfilled  expectations,  taking  sec- 
ond to  Cook  in  the  broad  jump.  Hulbert, 
in  the  high  hurdles,  was  in  too  fast  com- 
pany and  failed  to  score. 

The  Michigan  team  was  composed  of: 
Capt.  Rowe,  Coe,  Dull,  Heath,  Merritt, 
Hulbert,  Wolin,  May,  Bohnsack,  and 
Tower. 

After  the  meet  the  team  met  and  elected 
Gayle  Dull  captain  for  next  year  to  suc- 
ceed Floyd  Rowe.

MICHIGAN  WINS  EASY  GAME  WITH 
GEORGETOWN 

Georgetown  College  of  Kentucky  was  a 
feeble  opponent,  when,  on  Ferry  Field,  May 
9,  Michigan  scored  nine  tallies  while  blank- 
ing the  visitors. 

Linthicum,  the  Varsity  pitcher,  had  per- 
fect control,  allowing  but  two  hits.  In  the 
field  the  Southerners  were  weak,  errors  and 
bad  judgment  enabling  frequent  scores.

WABASH  BLANKED  IN  FIRST  GAME 
OF  SEASON 

In  a  short  but  excellent  game,  Michigan 
defeated  Wabash  by  the  score  of  2  to  o  on 
the  Ferry  Field  diamond,  May  13,  in  the 
first  of  a  series  of  two  games  scheduled 
with  the  Hoosier  school.  Threatening 
weather  broke  in  the  fifth  inning,  and  the 
game  had  to  be  called  just  when  Wabash 
was  beginning  to  play  consistent  ball,  for, 
despite  the  skill  of  the  Wabash  players, 
their  six  errors  overbalanced  their  team- 
work early  in  the  game. 

Barr,  pitching  for  Michigan,  was  almost 
invulnerable,  only  one  hit  being  gleaned 
off  his  delivery.  The  home  team  figured 
prominentyl  at  bat  Enzenroth  pounded 
out  two  two-base  hits,  and  Dunne  and 
Kelley  placed  good  ones  beyond  the  fielders.

ALMA  OUTCLASSED 

The  team  that  last  year  easily  took  Mich- 
igan's measure  was  beaten  p  to  2  on  Ferry 
Field,  May  16.  After  leading  in  the  score 
for  four  innings,  Alma  was  bombarded  by 
a  fusilade  of  hits  lasting  until  the  end  of 
the  contest.     In  the  second  the  collegians 


fell  on  Linthicum  for  three  dean  hits,  let- 
ting in  two  runs,  but  their  first  effort  was 
also  their  last,  as  they  were  not  again  near 
scoring.

CORNELL  WINS  SIXTEEN-INNING 
GAME 

Michigan  went  down  to  a  glorious  defeat 
before  3ic  Cornell  team  on  Percy  Reld, 
Ithaca,  N.  Y.,  May  20,  by  a  score  of  3  to  2, 
after  sixteen  innings  had  been  played. 

Sincock,  the  new  Michigan  pitcher,  was 
opposed  by  the  veteran  Caldwell,  and  the 
honors  of  the  ^:ame  went  to  the  westerner, 
as  one  more  hit  was  obtained  off  the  Itha- 
can's  delivery. 

Michigan  was  the  first  to  score,  when,  in 
the  fifth  inning,  one  man  got  in  safely.  In 
the  seventh  Cornell  tied  the  count  Both 
teams  tallied  once  in  the  eighth.  After  that, 
until  the  last  inning,  the  game  was  purely 
a  pitchers'  battle,  as  only  three  batters 
came  up  in  each  period.  Cornell  came  to 
bat  in  the  sixteenth,  and,  in  the  growing 
darkness,  secured  a  run,  winning  one  of 
the  most  sensational  games  of  cculege  ball

the  Brown  pitdier,  Nourse,  tightened  up 
and  saved  his  game.  Sincock,  for  Michi-

ception of  the  fifth  when  Brown  gleaned 
four  runs  from  him.  Mdlon's  error  in

WOOSTER  BUNCHES  HITS.  WINNING 
GAME 

Michigan  was  out-generaled  by  Wooster 
on  Ferry  Field,  May  26,  the  visitors  tak- 
ing away  the  big  end  of  a  4-3  score. 

Wooster  scored  one  in  the  first  time  to 
bat  but  only  held  the  lead  till  Michigan 
came  up  in  the  second,  and,  on  two  hits 
and  the  same  ntmiber  of  errors  scored 
three  tallies. 

Six  innings  passed  uneventfully,  till,  in 
the  first  part  of  the  eighth,  Barr,  the  Var- 
sity pitcher,  weakened.  The  coUegians 
had  the  big  stick  ready,  and,  before  the 
home  team  recovered  from  the  panic  five 
dean  hits  had  given  the  Buckeyes  three 
runs  and  the  fBtnt. 

Michigan  tried  hard  in  the  dghth  and 
ninth,  and  though  in  both  innings  men 
reached  third  the  Ohio  pitcher,  Shontz, 
was  master  of  the  situation.

SYRACUSE  WORSTED  IN  CLOSING 
GAME 

Michigan  ended  a  fairly  successful  base- 
ball season  by  defeating  Syracuse  on  Ferry 
Field,  May  30^  by  a  2-0  score.  The  Var- 
sity band  and  a  Decoration  day  crowd  of 


1,600  rooters  made  the  game  the  best  of 
the  year  on  the  local  diamond. 

Both  pitchers  started  out  strong,  and  in 
only  one  inning  did  a  runner  get  beyond 
third.  In  the  fifth,  three  Michigan  men 
won  bases  with  only  one  out,  thanks  to 
the  generosity  of  the  eastern  outfielders. 
Then  Capt.  Sullivan  came  to  bat  and 
slammed  a  two-ba^er  over  the  center 
fielder's  head,  bringing  in  two  runs.  Syra- 
cuse tightened  at  this  point  and  ended  the 
scoring  by  catching  a  runner  at  the  plate 
after  Sully  had  been  caught  passing  a  man 
on  third. 

Linthicum's  pitching  was  the  feature  of 
the  game,  for  he  allowed  the  easterner's 
only  one  hit  Mack  pitched  good  ball  for 
Syracuse,  but  stupid  nelding  and  weak  bat- 
ting by  his  teammates  cost  him  die  game.

TENNIS  MATCH  WITH  CORNELL 
A  TIE 

Coming  fresh  from  an  easy  victory  over 
Chicago,  the  crack  Cornell  tennis  team 
was  played  to  a  tie  on  Ferry  Field,  May 
23.  Each  team  won  two  singles  and  one 
doubles  out  of  the  six  matches  played. 

Michigan's  victory  was  largely  due  to 
the  splendid  play  of  Captain  Hoag  who 
annexed  his  matches  in  both  the  singles 
and,  aided  by  Ayres,  the  doubles. 

The  scores  of  the  tournament  follow: 

Hoag  (M)  beat  White  (C),  6-3,  6-a 

French  (M)  beat  Chase  (C),  8-6,  3-6, 
6-2. 

Greer  (C)  beat  Price  (M),  6-4,  1-6,  6-4. 

Mcrriss   (C)  beat  Ayres  (M),  g^y,  6-4. 

Hoag  and  Ayres  (M)  beat  White  and 
Merriss  (C),  6-3,  6-1. 

Greer  and  Chase  (C)  beat  Price  and 
French  (M),  6-3,  6-0.

MORE  ABOUT  THE  PHILIPPINE 
ASSOCIATION 

Manila,  P.  L,  April  i,  1908. 

There  has  just  been  organized  in  the 
Philippine  Islands  a  University  of  Michi- 
gan Alumni  Association  which  we  feel  con- 
fident is  larger  and  stronger  than  any  other 
college  or  university  in  these  islands  has 
organized  or  can  organize. 

The  first  meeting  was  held  on  March  7, 
1908,  with  sixteen  persons  present.  A  mo- 
tion was  unanimously  carried  to  proceed 
to   organize   an   alumni   association.     The 


following  officers  were  then  elected:  Pres- 
ident, Justice  E.  Finley  Johnson,  '90/;  vice- 
president.  Major  Henry  M.  Morrow,  '88/; 
recording  secretary,  D.  Harper  Sibbett,  '07/; 
corresponding  secretary,  George  A.  Mal- 
colm, '04,  '06/;  treasurer,  Santiago  Artia- 
ga,  'Q4e.  A  committee  on  constitution  and 
by-laws  was  appointed,  and  with  three 
amendments,  the  constitution  and  by-laws 
recommended  by  the  general  association 
were  approved. 

Two  weeks  later,  on  March  21,  Judge  F. 
G.  Waite,  '73-'75»  gave  a  reception  to  the

[June 


members  and  friends  of  the  association 
which  was  largely  attended  and  was  a 
most  enjoyable  and  successful  affair.  Judge 
Waite  had  decorated  his  bungalow  in  the 
Michigan  colors,  which  was  rendered  easy 
by  the  fact  that  the  Philippine  Carnival, 
just  finished,  had  shown  commendable 
judgment  in  deciding  upon  the  yellow  and 
blue  as  their  official  colors.  A  native  or- 
chestra diffused  melodious  strains,  and  a 
male  quartette  led  in  Michigan  songs,  of 
which  the  favorite  seemed  to  be  the  "Bull- 
dog on  the  Bank."  There  were  also  Mich- 
igan yells,  somewhat  rusty,  to  be  sure,  rec- 
itations, stories,  dancing,  and  what  seem- 
ingly made  the  biggest  hit,  elaborate  re- 
freshments. 

With  the  temperature  hovering  about 
the  point  of  seventy,  with  the  perfume  of 
flowers  wafted  to  us  by  the  breezes  of  the 
Pacific,  and  the  strains  of  "A  Hot  Time" 
with  which  to  trip  the  light  fantastic  a  la 
Granger,  with  a  superabundance  of  Michi- 
gan spirit  and  other  spirit,  the  University 
of  Michigan  Alumni  Association  of  the 
Philippine  Islands  extended  across  the 
Pacific  the  strong  grip  of  Michigan  fra- 
temalism  to  its  elder  brothers  in  the  fam- 
ily of  Michigan  associations,  and  offered 
to  them  heartfelt  condolences  on  their  less 
fortunate  Fate.  Come  over  to  lotus  land 
and  join  us — the  favored  of  the  gods. 

That  there  is  as  much  truth  as  poetry 
in  the  above  effusion  let  me  say  that  there 
are  alumni  in  the  islands  in  the  most 
exalted  places.  Among  others,  Michigan

superintendent  of  schools,  the  Deputy

The  memorials  adopted  with  reference 
to  late  members,  John  B.  Cassoday  and 
Charles  Quarles  follow: 

IN  MBMORIAM 

In  the  death  of  Chief  Justice  John  B. 
Cassoday,  the  State  of  Wisconsin  has  suf- 
fered a  loss  which  it  is  difficult  to  esti- 
mate. John  B.  Cassoday  was  bom  in  the 
State  of  New  York  on  the  7th  day  of  July, 
1830.  Without  the  advantage  of  pecuniary 
aid  from  his  parents  he  worked  his  own 
way  through  the  village  schools  and  after- 
wards through  a  private  academy.  He 
spent  two  years  in  the  University  of  Mich- 
igan taking  a  select  course.  In  1857  he 
settled  in  Janesville,  Wisconsin,  and  in 
1858  became  a  member  of  the  law  firm  of 
Bennett,  Cassoday,  &  Gibbs.  He  was  af- 
terwards associated  with  the  late  Willard 
B.  Merrill  under  the  firm  name  of  Casso- 
day &  Merrill  and  still  later  formed  a  part- 
nership under  the  name  of  Cassoday  & 
Carpenter  which  continued  until  he  was 
appointed  to  the  Supreme  Bench. 

Mr.  Cassoday's  mind  was  clear  and  well 
balanced.  His  professional  work  was  char- 
acterized by  industry  and  hard  study.  He 
was  thorough  and  methodical  in  the  prepa- 
ration of  cases,  loyal  to  clients,  earnest 
and  convincing  in  argument.  He  was  ap- 
pointed to  a  position  upon  the  Supreme 
Bench  on  the  nth  of  November,  1880,  was 
elected  to  the  same  position  in  April,  1881, 
and  re-elected  in  X8B9  and  1899.  On  the 
death  of  Harlow  S.  Orton  on  the  4th  of 
July,  189s,  Mr.  Cassoday  became  Chief  Jus- 
tice and  retained  that  position  until  his 
death.  He  died  at  his  home  in  Madison 
on  the  30th  day  of  December,  1907. 

Justice  Cassoda/s  activities  were  not 
confined  to  his  duties  as  a  member  of  the 
Supreme  Court  of  Wisconsin.  As  a  Re- 
publican he  was  a  delegate  in  1864  to  the 
Baltimore  convention  which  nominated 
Lincoln  for  the  second  time  to  the  presi- 
dency, and  in  1880  he  was  a  delegate  to 
the  convention  at  Chicago  which  nominated 
James  A.  Garfield  to  the  same  office.  For 
many  years  he  lectured  upon  wills  and 
constitutional  law  in  the  College  of  Law 
in  the  University  of  Wisconsin  and  pub- 
lished in  1893  a  book  on  the  subject  of 
wills,  which  is  highly  esteemed  as  a  con- 
cise compendium  of  that  subject. 

His  personal  character  was  such  as  to 
win  for  him  the  affectionate  respect  of  all 
with  whom  his  various  duties  as  lawyer, 
judge,  and  lecturer  brought  him  into  con- 
tact. 

The  Wisconsin  alumni  of  the  University 
of  Michigan  take  pride  in  the  career  of  the 
late  Chief  Justice.  They  find  in  his  ex- 
ample and  success  a  stimulus  and  encour- 
agement.   They  share  with  the  community 


at  large  a  sense  of  loss  and  personal  be- 
reavement. 

Adopted  by  the  Association  at  its  annual 
meeting,  May  20;  1908. 

IN  MBMORIAM 

Charles  Quarles  was  born  at  Southport, 
now  Kenosha,  on  February  13,  1846.  Af- 
ter receiving  the  rudiments  of  his  educa- 
tion in  the  public  schools,  he  entered  the 
University  of  Michigan  at  Ann  Arbor, 
where  he  pursued  the  ancient  classical 
course  with  the  class  of  1867.  He  re- 
mained away  for  a  time,  his  presence  at 
home  being  necessary  by  the  fact  that  his 
elder  brother  had  joined  the  Union  Army. 
He  returned  in  the  class  of  '68,  but  was 
not  graduated  with  it,  although  the  degree 
A.B.  was  conferred  upon  him  in  1898. 

After  leaving  the  University,  he  went  to 
Chicago  with  the  Home  Insurance  Co., 
but  returned  to  Kenosha  soon,  where  he 
entered  upon  the  practice  of  the  law  with 
the  firm  of  Head  &  Quarles.  In  1888  he 
came  to  Milwaukee,  upon  the  organization 
of  the  firm  of  Quarles,  Spence  &  Quarles, 
and  died  a  distinguished  member  of  that 
firm  on  April  8,  1908. 

Within  the  somewhat  narrow  limits  just 
recited,  there  lived  and  moved,  quietly  and 
unostentatiously,  one  of  the  most  lovable 
and  remarkable  of  the  many  remarkable 
men  our  Alma  Mater  has  guided  in  their 
younger  years.  As  a  classical  scholar  he 
was  phenomenal,  the  surest  proof  of  which 
is  the  fact  that  his  name  remained  as  a 
tradition  in  that  respect  for  some  years 
after  he  left  the  University,  and  to  one 
who  knows  how  quickly  the  ephemeral 
fame  of  a  student  fades  away  from  the 
memory  of  incoming  waves  of  students, 
this  statement  is  suffiicent. 

As  a  lawyer,  his  success  was  almost  in- 
stantaneous, and  his  position  at  the  bar, 
during  the  last  few  years  of  his  practice, 
was  unique.  Not  only  was  he  a  profound 
student  of  the  law,  knowing  its  intricate 
and  interweaving  paths  as  by  intuition, 
but  he  was  a  most  skillful  draftsman  and 
an  able  general.  His  campaign  was  plan- 
ned at  the  outset  to  the  final  successful  act, 
and  not  merely,  as  many  of  us  do,  for  a 
skirmish  or  two  in  advance. 

He  had  no  fondness  for  public  office, 
and  his  experience  in  that  line  was  con- 
fined to  places  where  he  could  do  good  to 
his  fellow-man,  but  received  no  compen- 
sation for  his  work  other  than  the  satis- 
faction of  the  generous  giver. 

Although  never  of  robust  physique,  he 
was  careful  to  preserve  his  health  by  two 
vacations  a  year,  when  he  would  seek  a 
different  climate  and  pursue  the  angler's 
art  with  the  enthusiasm  of  a  true  devotee 
of  Izaak  Walton.    In  the  Northern  Wilds

class  by  itself.  It's  the  College  Standard.  Doesn't  matter 
where  yon  are — in  your  room,  lecture  hall,  or  on  the  train 
^-you  can  fill  it  instantly  by  dipping:  in  any  ink-well.  A 
slic:ht  thumb  pressure  on  the  Crescent-Filler  does  it 
Cleaned  in  the  same  simple,  easy  way.

about,  it  is  the  only  Pen.  No  mussy  dropper,  nothinc:  to  screw 
or  unscrew,  no  tool  kit,  no  inky  fins:ers.  Ink  flows  as  smoothly 
as  a  prize  essay.    No  stops,  no  blots,  balks  or  scratches. 

Leading  dealers  handle  the  Conklin*  If  yours  does  not,  order  direct.

ME  are  already  beginning  to  receive  inquiries  for  teachers  for  next  year. 
Last  year  we  had  over  four  times  as  many  calls  as  we  had  candidates 
for  good  positions  as  teachers  of  Shorthand.  These  positions  offered 
salaries  ranging  all  the  way  from  $75.00  to  $125.00  or  more  per  month.  The 
present  outlook  is  that  the  demand  will  be  still  greater  this  year. 

We  have  also  to  fill  several  places  in  large  Normal  Schools  where  University 
men  are  wanted  to  give  a  Teachers'  Training  Course  in  Shorthand.    These  places 
are  especially  desirable.    Our  Shorthand  Training  Course  fits  one  to  do  such  work. 
We  have  a 

Special  Proposition  to  Senior  Lits 

who  expect  to  teach  as  well  as  for  those  who  have  graduated  and  are  already 
teaching. 

Call  at  the  School  of  Shorthand  or  write  us  for  full  particulars  in  regard  to 
this  special  offer.

What  University  oi  Mickigu   Grailiuks  Say  About 

THE  THURSTON 
Teachers*  Agency 

Jola  the  Ageacy  that  Personally  Reconnends 

"  Durlnf  my  last  vear  at  the  Unirerslty  of  Michi- 
gan I  joined  seTeraf  prominent  teachers'  agencies, 
and  wrote  many  applications  for  positions  as 
notices  of  vacancies  came.  I  finally  secured  a 
position,  but  not  bv  reason  of  assistance  from  any 
of  them.  Being  still  anxious  for  advancement,  but 
now  somewhat  skeptical  as  to  the  helpfulness  of 
agencies,  I  was  induced  by  a  friend  to  try  Miss 
Thurston's.  In  a  short  time  I  was  elected  to  a  posi- 
tion at  a  larger  salary  than  I  had  ever  before  drawn 
in  teaching  profession. 

"If  you  want  a  position,  join   Miss  Thurston's 
Agency;  ifyou  enjoy  an  extended  correspondence, 
join  the  others."       Commissioner  of  Schools, 
Hillsdale,  Michigan 

"  I  hold  my  present  position  as  language  teacher 
in  the  high  school  of  East  Chicago,  Ind.,  as  the  result 
of  an  application  through  the  Thurston  Agency." 

High  School,  JoHet,  111.—"  I  received  my  position 
through  the  Agency  of  Miss  Anna  M.  Thurston. 
She  seems  to  me  to  keep  in  touch   with  the  best 
schools  in  this  part  of  the  country,  and  shows  per-  . 
sonal  interest  in  those  for  whom  she  is  working." 

^  'Do  not  wait  until  the  best  positions  are  filled.

"THE  AGE  OF  QUICKENED  CONSCIENCE" 

BACCALAUREATE  DISCOURSE.  DELIVERED  BY  PRESIDENT  JAMES  B.  ANGELL, 
SUNDAY  EVENING.  JUNE  14.  1906.  BEFORE  THE  SENIOR  CLASS 


If  any  proof  be  needed  to  show  that 
men  are  made  with  an  instinct  for 
associated  life,  not  for  individual  iso- 
lation, it  is  furnished  by  the  frequent 
spectacle  of  the  rapid  spread  through 
a  whole  region  or  a  whole  people  of 
some  taste  or  passion.  It  may  be  a 
fancy  for  some  game,  as  croquet  or 
tennis  or  base  ball,  and  in  the  space 
of  a  few  months  a  whole  nation  is  de- 
voting all  its  leisure  hours  to  it ;  or  to 
rise  to  higher  objects  the  passion  for 
revolution  in  a  few  months  seizes  on 
the  citizens  of  France  and  overturns 
the  throne  which  has  stood  unshaken 
for  centuries.  So  the  cry  of  Peter, 
the  Crusader,  suddenly  startles  all 
western  Europe  and  shakes  the  con- 
tinent beneath  the  tread  of  armies, 
inflamed  with  the  unquenchable  pas- 
sion to  deliver  the  holy  sepulchre  from 
the  hand  of  the  Saracen.  It  is  not 
surprising  therefore  that  the  fire  of 
religious  zeal  should  at  times  as  in 
1857,  when  once  kindled,  spread  even 
through  the  market  places  and  that 
the  halls  of  the  money  changers  should 
become  the  scene  of  prayer  and  of 
penitent  confession.  It  is  not  strange 
that  as  in  our  own  time,  at  least  in 
the  middle  west,  the  passion  for  popu- 
lar education  should  be  spreading 
everywhere  and  overflowing  school 
and  college  and  university  with  eager 
youth  longing  to  train  themselves  in 


the  most  efficient  manner  for  business 
or  professions. 

Since  this  imitative  spirit,  the  social 
instinct,  the  sympathetic  impulse,  have 
so  led  mankind  to  act  together  in 
masses  towards  some  common  end, 
we  need  not  regard  it  as  astonishing 
that  to  our  great  delight  we  are  wit- 
nessing a  new  awakening  of  con- 
science all  over  the  nation.  How  or 
why  it  appeared  at  exactly  this  time 
it  may  not  be  easy  to  say.  And  for 
the  purpose  of  this  discussion  it  may 
not  be  important  to  decide.  But  this 
awakening  manifests  itself  in  a  great 
variety  of  ways. 

Its  reaction  in  our  own  coimtry 
against  intemperance  in  drinking  hais 
been  so  sudden  and  has  spread  over 
so  wide  a  territory  and  among  com- 
munities where  it  was  unlooked  for 
that  the  movement  has  seemed  almost 
incredible.  Even  in  Germany  and 
France  and  England  science  is  begin- 
ning to  warn  die  public  that  reform 
in  drinking  habits  is  essential  to  the 
preservation  of  national  vigor,  and 
that  a  higher  morality  is  essential  to 
the  protection  of  the  public  health. 

But  especially  has  indignation  been 
excited  at  malfeasance  in  the  manage- 
ment of  great  corporations,  in  the  dis- 
charge of  the  duties  of  public  office, 
in  the  betrayal  of  fiduciary  trusts.  No 
doubt  in  the  excited  state  of  the  public 
mind  reckless  charges  have  been  made

[July 


against  innocent  corporations  and  in- 
dividuals, and  have  been  widely  and 
unjustly  circulated  before  the  accused 
have  had  opportunity  to  defend  or  ex- 
plain their  acts.  But  even  those  who 
condemn  such  unjust  attacks  or  who 
deem  extravagant  the  language  used 
in  assailing  some  who  are  justly  criti- 
cised confess  that  there  are  many  pub- 
iis  evils  rightly  and  severely  ccwn- 
plained  of. 

So  the  halls  of  legislation,  both  state 
and  federal,  have  been  for  months  re- 
sounding with  discussions  of  the  most 
cflPective  legislation  to  prevent  mis- 
deeds of  the  kind  referred  to.  The 
courts  have  been  busy  trying  persons 
accused  of  them,  and  the  President 
with  his  accustomed  vigor  of  utter- 
ance has  been  appealing  to  Congress 
and  to  the  people  in  stimulation  of  a 
sound  public  sentiment  in  the  main- 
tenance of  honesty. 

I  need  not  say  to  you  who  have  been 
here  for  the  last  two  or  three  years 
that  among  students  there  has  been 
a  wholesome  revolt  against  certain 
abuses  in  what  we  call  college  politics, 
and  that  this  has  done  not  a  little  to 
purify  the  atmosphere  of  college  life. 

If  we  look  beyond  our  own  neigh- 
borhood and  even  beyond  our  own 
country  we  find  that  throughout  the 
civilized  world  there  is  a  deep  feeling 
that  a  readjustment  is  needed  in  the 
relations  of  the  employer  and  the  em- 
ployed, that  there  is  a  dangerous 
chasm  between  labor  and  capital,  that 
somehow  in  many  ca^es  the  woiking- 
man  is  not  receiving  his  share  of  the 
products  which  his  industry  is  instru- 
mental in  creating.  However  men 
may  differ  in  their  proposed  solution 
of  the  problem  presented  by  this  diffi- 
culty, yet  the  ccmsciences  of  many 
capitalists  are  prompting  them  to 
study  the  problem  witfi  as  much  hon- 
esty and  sincerity  as  the  poorest  labor- 
er brings  to  it.  Never  was  there  a 
time  when  the  Christian  thinkers  of 
the  world  were  so  earnestly  sedcing 


to  find  what  remedy  the  gospels  of 
Christ  have  for  the  ailments  of  the 
social  and  economic  organization  of 
mankind. 

Now  this  new  condition  of  things, 
this  wide-spread  quickening  of  con- 
science is  a  great,  palpable  fact  which 
deeply  concerns  all  of  you,  who  are 
just  goinc^  out  into  active  life.  You 
cannot,  if  you  would,  utterly  disre- 
gard it. 

First,  it  is  a  grave  warning  not  to 
try  for  success  by  failing  to  reckon 
with  this  state  of  the  public  conscience. 
The  legislator  who  gives  himself  to 
the  wretched  work  of  drafting  laws 
so  that  they  may  be  easily  evaded,  the 
attorney  who  makes  a  special  business 
of  helping  crafty  men  evade  whole- 
some laws,  the  physician  who  by 
quackery  and  pretense  seeks  oppor- 
tunities to  trifle  with  human  life  or  to 
conceal  crime,  the  engineer  who  draws 
papers  so  as  to  further  the  plans  of 
fraudulent  contractors,  the  teacher 
who  organizes  and  conducts  his  school 
so  as  to  make  sure  of  drawing  in- 
ordinate compensation  from  wealthy 
parents  rather  than  to  impart  solid  in- 
struction to  his  pupils,  the  captains  of 
industry  who  coin  their  gains  out  of 
the  life-blood  of  helpless  and  impover- 
ished operatives,  these  and  all  others 
of  kindred  spirit,  whatever  their  voca- 
tion, will  hereafter  face  a  public  more 
vigilant  in  exposing  and  more  merci- 
less in  punislung  tfieir  sins  than  the 
generation  which  has  just  passed  from 
tfie  stage. 

I  will  not  dwell  on  the  lesson  of 
warning  for  I  trust  you  do  not  need 
it.  The  American  students  as  a  rule 
leave  their  studies  with  high  ideals  of 
charcter  and  conduct.  But  it  is  well 
for  you  to  have  a  clear  perception  of 
the  environment  in  which  you  will  find 
yourselves.  I  prefer,  however,  to 
point  this  out  to  you  rather  as  an  ap- 
peal than  as  a  personal  warning.  I 
mean  by  this  that  you  should  regard 
this  awakening    of    the    public  con-

science,  which  we  so  clearly  recognize, 
as  an  appeal  to  you  to  throw  your- 
selves into  your  work  with  the  pur- 
pose to  do  all  in  your  power  to 
strengthen  this  determination  of  the 
people  to  maintain  public  virtue. 

I  count  you  as  peculiarly  fortunate 
in  going  into  active  life  in  so  propit- 
ious circumstances.  I  heartily  con- 
gratulate you  on  it.  I  recall  no  time 
in  the  last  half  century  when  one  go- 
ing from  college  into  professional, 
official  or  business  life  could  find  it  so 
easy  and  so  helpful  to  himself  to  set 
his  moral  standards  high  and  hold  to 
them.  The  people  at  large  are  every- 
where in  the  mood  to  welcome  men 
with  such  standards,  to  employ  them, 
to  give  them  such  positions  of  trust 
and  responsibility  as  educated  men 
have  a  right  to  aspire  to.  They  are 
not  looking  for  cunning  tricksters,  but 
for  earnest,  sensible,  well  equipped 
men,  who  can  stand  "four-square"  to 
all  the  winds  of  temptation  and  honor- 
ably serve  their  day  and  generation. 
They  wish  unselfish,  ungrasping  men 
in  great  industries,  who  in  the  spirit 
of  their  Lord  and  Master  shall  re- 
member the  brotherhood  of  man.  It 
is  for  you  to  say  whether  you  will 
prove  yourselves  worthy  of  the  times, 
upon  which  you  have  fallen.  As  you 
launch  your  craft  this  week  for  the 
long  voyage  before  you,  favoring  gales 
and  propitious  currents  are  waiting  to 
help  you  to  a  happy  haven. 

We  are  this  week  to  lay  the  comer 
stone  of  the  Memorial  Building  which 
shall  keep  green  the  memory  of  the 
brave  and  patriotic  young  men  who, 
standing  where  you  stand  to-day,  will- 
ingly sacrificed  all  their  prospects  in 
life  and  poured  out  their  blood  on 
southern  fields  that  you  and  I  might 
dwell  here  in  peace  and  prosperity  to- 
day. Do  you  not  sometimes  envy 
them  the  chance  which  came  to  them 
to  make  so  glorious  a  record  and  to 
render  the  University  and  the  country 
forever  their  debtor?    That  peculiar 


fortune  can  never  be  youis.  But  a 
fortune  hardly  less  glorious  is  open  to 
you  all.  You  have  the  chance  in  this 
age  to  be  what  the  Apostle  calls  ''a 
crown  of  rejoicing"  to  the  University 
by  lives  so  pure  and  noble  that  she  will 
be  proud  to  enroll  your  names  on  the 
tablets  of  her  memory,  and  some  of 
you  by  lives  so  effective  and  conspicu- 
ous that  she  will  wish  to  place  your 
names  on  the  tablets  of  bronze  by  the 
side  of  the  young  heroes  of  our  wars. 

The  colleges  and  universities  of  the 
country  are  about  to  be  subjected  to 
a  severe  test.  The  public  seem  con- 
vinced that  they  are  furnishing  the 
intellectual  training  to  fit  their  grad- 
uates for  useful  service  in  every  voca- 
tion. Never  were  these  graduates 
more  in  demand,  whereas  a  few  years 
ago  many  questioned  whether  a  col- 
lege training  afforded  the  best  prepa- 
ration for  certain  pursuits,  especially 
for  business  and  for  engineering.  Now 
there  seems  to  be  a  pretty  general  con- 
sensus of  opinion  even  among  those 
who  emphasize  what  they  are  pleased 
to  call  a  practical  education  that  the 
college  or  the  imiversity  or  the  techni- 
cal schol  furnishes  the  best  mental  out- 
fit for  life  in  most  vocations. 

But  now  it  is  to  be  demonstrated 
whether  with  the  intellectual  outfit  our 
graduates  carry  away  from  the  Uni- 
sity  that  high  moral  purpose  which 
the  quickened  conscience  of  our  day 
is  going  to  demand  of  all  upon  whom 
the  seal  of  public  approbation  is  to 
be  set.  No  intellectual  furniture  will 
supply  the  lack  of  that.  No  institu- 
tion will  long  conmiand  public  esteem, 
whose  graduates  do  not  command  the 
confidence  of  the  conununities  in 
which  they  dwell.  Hence  it  is  that 
the  teachers  urge  with  an  insistence 
that  often  seems  to  the  undergraduate 
excessive  and  puritanical  that  he  shall 
in  his  college  life  cherish  high  ideals 
of  character  and  life.  It  is  the  habits 
formed  at  that  age  that  are  to  abide 
and  shape  the  future  career.    The  hab-

its  you  have  today  are  likely  to  be 
for  most  of  you  the  determining  fac- 
tors in  the  years  in  which  you  are  to 
make  your  reputation.  If  we,  your 
instructors,  have  felt  called  to  give 
some  of  you  friendly  monitions  at 
times,  it  was  because  we  saw  in  your 
present  the  presage  of  your  future. 
We  are  often  criticized  because  we  do 
not  impart  ethical  and  spiritual  ideals 
with  a  compulsory  force.  But  that  is 
impossible  with  persons  of  the  age  of 
college  students.  We  can  affect  them 
only  by  example  and  by  personal  per- 
suasion and  warning.  Perhaps  we  do 
not  employ  those  means  enough.  But 
really,  when  we  come  down  to  the 
hard  facts,  the  shaping  of  the  student's 
moral  and  spiritual  ideal  and  purpose 
is  his  individual  work,  and  in  the  last 
analysis  can  be  done  by  none  other 
than  himself.  And  so  it  is  that  you 
come  up  to  this  eventful  day  with 
your  character,  whatever  it  is,  shaped 
by  yourself  during  all  these  formative 
years.  That  is  the  moral  capital  with 
which  you  go  forth  to  your  destiny. 
Not  that  it  is  complete  and  unchange- 
able. Not  that  you  cannot  yet  repair 
your  errors.  Not  that  you  need  de- 
spair of  moral  growth  and  improve- 
ment, if  they  are  needed.  But  your 
reputation  and  that  of  the  University 
are  largely  committed  to  you  as  you 
are  today.  Hence  for  our  sake  as  well 
as  for  yours  we  look  with  such  in- 
tense interest  upon  you,  as  you  turn 
your  steps  from  our  doors,  and  we 
follow  you  with  our  sympathy  through 
all  the  trials  and  vicissitudes  of  your 
career. 

For  notwithstanding  what  I  have 
said  to  you  concerning  your  good  for- 
tune in  going  out  into  the  world  when 
there  is  such  a  widespread  awakening 
of  conscience,  it  is  still  true  that  along 
your  path  you  will  meet  not  a  few, 
who  will  ridicule  your  scruples,  and 
by  example  and  by  advice  will  strive 
to  persuade  you  that  the  discreditable 
roads  are  the  short  and  sure  roads  to 


success.  They  will  paint  for  you  the 
contrast  between  the  practical  wisdom 
of  the  sharper  in  the  maricet  place  and 
the  mere  theories  of  the  professor  in 
the  class-room,  to  the  sore  disadvan- 
tage of  the  latter.  They  will  argue 
to  convince  you  that  it  is  by  the 
shrewd  tricks  of  the  unscrupulous  pol- 
itician rather  than  by  the  straightfor- 
ward inarch  of  the  upright  soul  that 
most  men  have  reached  positions  of 
eminence.  These  assaults  upon  your 
intelligence  and  your  honesty  will  be 
repeated  in  so  many  forms  and  with 
such  untiring  assiduity  and  seductive- 
ness that  you  are  in  danger  of  having 
your  confidence  in  your  own  opinions 
and  in  your  own  conscience  shaken 
and  weakened.  You  will  need  to  have 
your  self-reliance  reinforced  con- 
stantly by  an  inspection  of  the  solid 
moral  ground  on  which  you  are  stand- 
ing today.  But  I  adjure  you  to  fol- 
low the  great  Apostle's  counsel  when 
he  says,  "take  unto  you  the  whole  ar- 
mour oJE  God  that  you  may  be  able  to 
withstand  in  the  evil  day,  and,  having 
done  all,  to  stand." 

In  spite  of  what  I  said  at  the  outset 
about  our  instinct  for  associated  life 
and  our  spirit  of  imitation,  we  should 
remember  that  if  we  are  to  build  char- 
acter on  a  stable  and  enduring  foun- 
dation, we  must  not  trust  merely  to 
being  borne  along  on  the  current  of 
opinion  and  feeling  which  is  moving 
our  community.  We  must  place  our- 
selves with  deliberation  and  purpose, 
regardless  of  the  sentiments  of  others, 
in  right  relations  to  God.  Life  is  per- 
sonal. To  your  own  master  every  one 
of  you  stands  or  falls.  It  is  not  the 
question  whether  we  are  doing  as 
well  as  our  neighbors.  Their  con- 
sciences do  not  furnish  the  measure 
by  which  we  are  to  be  tried.  Public 
sentiment  does  not  always  furnish  a 
safe,  permanent  standard  of  rig^t 
conduct.  Like  the  tide,  it  ebbs  and 
flows.  It  may  be  your  high  calling 
at  times  to  confront  a  debased  public

opinion  on  some  subject  with  the  lofty 
moral  standard  which  your  conscience 
void  of  offense  towards  God  and  man 
has  erected  in  your  heart.  What  shall 
be  the  test  of  the  standard?  It  must 
be  that  which  is  found  in  the  life  and 
teachings  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ. 
Philosophers  have  framed  many  theo- 
ries of  right  living.  But  the  simplest 
and  best,  the  only  one  which  so  moulds 
human  character  that  it  reflects  the 
divine  image  and  glorifies  our  humble 
lives  with  the  spirit  of  righteousness 
and  truth,  is  found  in  the  example  and 
teaching  of  our  Lord. 

One  of  the  most  striking  and  en- 
couraging characteristics  of  the  last 
decade  is  the  increasing  power  of  the 
life  and  teachings  of  Jesus  over  large 
classes  of  men,  who  hold  themselves 
aloof  from  churches.  In  Europe  as 
well  as  in  America  associations  of  la- 


borers who  have  persuaded  themselves 
that  the  great  ecclesiastical  organiza- 
tions were  controlled  by  men  who 
lacked  sympathy  with  them  have  con- 
fessed that  He  is  their  friend,  and 
that  His  instructions  and  His  exam- 
ple are  full  of  hope  and  cheer  for 
them.  Even  many  in  non-Christian 
nations  who  have  not  abandoned  their 
old  religions  have  come  to  see  and 
acknowledge  the  charm  of  His  life. 
He  is  gradually  conquering  the  world. 
He  is  fulfilling  the  pr^iction  He 
made  in  full  view  of  the  great 
sacrifice  He  was  about  to  make,  "If  I 
be  lifted  up,  I  will  draw  all  men  to 
myself."  In  this  age  of  quickened 
conscience,  may  you  with  the  help  of 
the  Divine  spirit  yield  yourselves  up 
completely  to  His  gracious  influence 
and  flnd  in  Him  your  guide,  your 
exemplar  and  your  Savior. 


THE  LAYING  OF  THE  CORNER  STONE  OF 
THE  MEMORIAL  BUILDING 


At  four  o'clock  on  Wednesday  of 
Commencement  Week,  Alumni  Day, 
the  comer  stone  of  the  new  Memorial 
Building  now  in  course  of  construc- 
tion on  the  southwest  comer  of  the 
Campus,  was  laid  by  Judge  Claudius 
B.  Grant,  '59,  Chairman  of  the  Me- 
morial Conmiittee  of  the  Alumni  As- 


sociation. Previous  to  the  ceremonies 
at  the  building,  exercises  were  held  in 
University  Hall  where  short  addresses 
were  delivered  by  Judge  Grant,  Presi- 
dent Angell  and  Hon.  Lawrence  Max- 
well, Jr.,  '74,  of  Cincinnati.  After  a 
prayer  by  the  Rev.  G.  Scott  Williams, 
'83,  Judge  Grant  spoke. 


JUDGE  GRANT'S  SPEECH 


Members  of  the  Alumm  Association, 
Ladies  and  Gentlemen: 
Probably  but  few  in  this  audience 
remember  Sunday,  the  14th  day  of 
April,  1861.  On  the  Friday  moming 
previous  the  first  shot  of  the  Civil 
War  was  fired  upon  Fort  Sumter.  By 
Sunday  moming  the  shot  went  round 
the  world,  spelling,  as  was  believed

downfall  of  the  Great  Republic.  On 
Saturday  night  and  Sunday  moming 
young  Paul  Reveres  rode  from  city 


and  village  into  the  country  announc- 
ing the  dread  news.  People  from  the 
country  hastened  to  the  cities  and  vil- 
lages. Upon  the  courthouse  square 
in  this  city  a  platform  was  hastily  con- 
stmcted  and  a  great  crowd  of  citizens 
listened  to  the  eloquent  and  patriotic 
words  of  the  first  great  President  of 
this  University,  Dr.  Henry  P.  Tappan. 
Others  also  spoke.  Like  meetings 
were  held  in  all  the  cities  and  villages 
of  the  North.  The  voice  of  the  people

pulpit  went  round  the  world  on  the 
folk>wing  Monday  morning,  and  an- 
swered the  shot  of  Friday,  proclaiming 
to  the  nations  of  the  world  that  this 
country  would  settle  its  own  internal 
dissensions  and  would  maintain  the 
integrity  of  the  Republic. 

Soon  thereafter  this  Campus  be- 
came a  military  drill  ground.  Com- 
panies were  formed  and  students  de- 
voted a  considerable  portion  of  their 
time  to  studying  and  practicing  mili- 
tary tactics.  Every  college  campus 
and  school  yard  the  Nortih  over  be- 
came a  military  drill  ground. 

Including  the  class  of  1861,  the 
graduates  of  the  Literary  Department 
at  that  time  numbered  392.  Of  those 
who  were  living  and  able  to  perform 
military  service  it  is  safe  to  say  that 
fully  sixty  per  cent  entered  the  army. 
After  four  years  of  warfare  unsur- 
passed in  the  history  of  the  world, 
the  "Boys  in  Blue"  came  marching 
home  amid  the  applaudits  of  a  loyal 
people  to  the  peaceful  pursuits  of 
life. 

Several  ineffectual  efforts  were 
made  by  the  Alumni  Association  of 
this  University  to  place  upon  this  Cam- 
pus some  suitable  memorial  to  com- 
memorate the  services  of  the  sons  of 
our  Alma  Mater,  who  participated  in 
that  great  war,  many  of  whom  went 
to  their  death  on  the  field  of  battle. 
Nothing  came  of  those  efforts  until 
four  years  ago,  a  committee  was  ap- 
pointed by  the  Association  to  devise 
and  report  at  the  next  annual  meeting 
of  the  Association  some  suitable  me- 
morial. The  committee  were  from  the 
first  unanimous  in  determining  not  to 
erect  a  mere  mausoleum  or  monument, 
but  to  erect  some  building  which 
should  be  of  daily  use  to  the  students 
of  this  University  for  all  time  to  come, 
and  of  benefit  to  the  Alumni  and  Fac- 
ulty, and  the  people  of  the  State.  Af- 
ter consultation  with  prominent  alum- 
ni and  other  citizens  and  mature  delib- 
eration, the  committee  recommended 


the  erection  of  the  building  now  in 
process  of  construction,  to  be  known 
as  Alumni  Memorial  Hall.  The 
building  recommended  was  to  cost 
not  less  than  one  hundred  thous- 
and dollars.  It  soon  developed  that 
this  sum  was  insufficient.  The  com- 
mittee therefore  continued  their  ef- 
forts, and  have  raised  by  subscription 
$126,000.00,  of  which  $99,313.39,  in- 
cluding interest,  have  been  paid  in. 
A  contract  was  let  last  fall  for  the 
erection  of  the  superstructure  for 
$107,103.00.  Donaldson  &  Meier  were 
the  architects.  To  them  this  Associa- 
tion and  the  friends  of  the  Univer- 
sity owe  a  debt  of  gratitude  for  the 
beautiful  design  and  the  interest  they 
have  taken  in  the  project.  The  build- 
ing is  far  enough  advanced  to  speak 
for  itself.  It  surpasses  in  beauty  and 
appropriateness  the  anticipations  of 
the  committee. 

The  Regents  generously  appropriat- 
ed $50,000.00,  on  condition  that  the 
Association  obtain  subscriptions  for 
$132,000.00.  It  will  require  approx- 
imately $30,000.00  to  finish  the  inter- 
ior in  a  style  to  correspond  with  its 
exterior  and  to  fulfill  in  the  largest 
degree  the  purpose  for  which  the 
building  is  to  be  used. 

The  number  of  subscribers  at  pres- 
ent is  1,368.  I  do  not  believe  that  any 
alumnus  can  afford  to  keep  his  name 
off  the  roll  of  honor  of  this  subscrip- 
tion list.  I  therefore  renew  our  ap- 
peal to  the  alumni  and  friends  of  the 
University  to  subscribe  promptly  the 
requisite  amount. 

But  this  building  is  not  designed 
alone  to  perpetuate  the  memory  of  the 
soldiers  and  sailors  of  the  Civil  and 
Spanish-American  wars,  but  also  the 
memory  of  those  professors  whose  la- 
bor on  meager  salaries  have  contrib- 
uted to  the  foundation,  erection  and 
maintenance  of  this  great  institution 
of  learning.  I  deem  it  due  our  own 
superintendent  of  construction,  to  the 
contractors,  their  superintendents  and

the  workmen  upon  this  building,  to 
say  that  I  have  never  seen  so  great 
enthusiasm  and  determination  to  erect 
a  building  in  accordance  with  the  plans 
and  specifications,  and  to  make  it  per- 
fect in  every  respect. 

But,  as  you  see  by  the  programme, 
I  am  not  to  make  an  address,  but  only 
a  few  remarks,  and  then  to  introduce 
the  speakers  of  the  occasion. 

Under   the    guidance   of    the   first 


great  President  of  this  institution.  Dr. 
Henry  P.  Tappan,  and  his  noble  co- 
workers, the  foundation  of  this  Uni- 
versity was  laid  broad  and  deep.  Up- 
on that  foundation,  under  the  guid- 
ance of  him  who  for  thirty-seven  years 
has  been  its  President,  its  great  super- 
structure has  been  reared,  and  I  now 
have  the  great  pleasure  to  introduce 
to  you  the  first  speaker,  President 
James  B.  Angell. 


PRESIDENT  ANGELL'S  REMARKS 


This  is  the  day  which  the  eyes  of 
many  of  us  have  longed  for  years  to 
see.  At  the  first  Commencements 
which  I  attended  I  used  to  give  utter- 
ance every  year  with  the  most  fervid 
language  I  could  command,  as  did 
many  alumni,  and  especially  as  you 
did,  Mr.  Chairman,  to  the  ardent  de- 
sire for  the  erection  on  these  grounds 
of  some  worthy  memorial  in  honor  of 
the  brave  students  who  went  from 
these  halls  in  the  Civil  War  and  laid 
down  their  lives  on  southern  battle 
fields.  And  now  at  last  our  desires 
are  to  be  gratified,  thanks  to  the  tire- 
less energy  and  unconquerable  faith 
of  your  Committee,  and  especially. 
Sir,  of  you,  their  leader.  This  edi- 
fice, so  worthy  by  its  beauty  and  sol- 
idity of  the  object  to  which  it  is  dedi- 
cated, is  proudly  rising  from  its  foun- 
dation.   In  it  we  shall  preserve  fitting 


memorials  of  the  long  line  of  noble 
men  and  women  who  have  rendered 
conspicuous  service,  whether  in  war 
or  in  peace,  on  the  field  of  battle  or  in 
the  class  room,  to  the  University  and 
to  the  country.  Thither  the*  coming 
generations  will  repair  as  to  a  shrine, 
rich  with  all  hallowed  associations. 
To  the  generous  alumni  and  friends 
who  are  rearing  this  proud  structure, 
and  to  the  Committee  who  are  now 
happily  seeing  their  task  crowned 
with  success,  and  above  all  to  you.  Sir, 
whose  hope  has  never  failed,  all  the 
sons  and  daughters  of  the  University 
owe  a  debt  of  gratitude,  which  they 
are  glad  of  this  opportunity  to  ac- 
knowledge. 

The  principal  address  delivered  by 
the  Hon.  Lawrence  Maxwell,  Jr.,  '74, 
of  Cincinnati,  followed. 


ADDRESS  BY  LAWRENCE  MAXWELL*  JR. 


Today  witnesses  the  realization  of 
A  long  cherished  hc^.  We  meet  to 
lay  the  comer  stone  of  a  memorial 
that  was  proposed  more  than  forty 
years  ago.  In  1864  the  Regents  di- 
rected a  roll  of  honor  to  be  made  out 
containing  the  names,  rank  and  regi- 
ment of  the  altmrni  and  students  of 
the  University,  then  serving  or  who 
had  served,  in  the  army  or  navy  of 
the  United  States,  and  a  committee 
of  the  Society  of  the  Alumni  was  ap- 
pointed to  mature  plans  and  secure 
means  to  erect  a  building  in  memory 


of  those  who  had  fallen  in  the  war. 
A  year  later  the  committee  presented 
a  communication  to  the  Regents,  but 
no  action  was  taken.  Thereafter  from 
time  to  time  attempts  were  made  to 
revive  the  scheme,  but  without  suc- 
cess. At  one  time  a  committee  of 
which  Judge  Cooley  was  chairman  se- 
cured subscriptions  of  about  $10,000, 
but  nothing  further  was  accomplished, 
and  the  project  slumbered  until  1903, 
when  the  present  committee  was  ap- 
pointed by  the  Alumni  Association  to 
consider  the  feasibility  of  raising  a

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[July 


fund  by  subscription  for  a  memorial 
for  the  students  of  the  University  who 
had  participated  in  the  wars  of  their 
country.  The  committee  reported 
promptly  in  favor  of  a  memorial  hall 
to  be  erected  on  the  Campus  at  a 
cost  of  not  less  than  $100,000,  and  in 
January,  1904,  they  published  an  ad- 
dress inviting  subscriptions  on  condi- 
tion that  that  sum  should  be  raised 
before  January  i,  1905,  annotmdng 
in  their  address  that  the  Regents  had 
consented  to  have  the  building  placed 
on  the  southwest  comer  of  the  Cam- 
pus, and  to  provide  for  its  permanent 
maintenance.  In  April,  1904,  the 
committee  sent  a  circular  to  every 
alumnus  and  non-graduate,  setting 
forth  their  plans.  By  July  of  that 
year,  something  over  $20,000  was 
subscribed,  and  in  June,  1906,  they 
were  able  to  announce  that  upward 
of  $100,000  had  been  promised,  of 
which  nearly  $70,000  had  been  paid 
into  the  University  treasury.  The 
committee  then  secured  plans  and  es- 
timates, and  after  careful  deliberation, 
wisely  determined  that  the  cost  of  the 
structure  should  not  be  less  than 
$175,000.  A  year  ago,  the  Regents 
appropriated  $50,000  toward  that 
amount,  and  the  erection  of  one  of 
the  finest  university  memorial  build- 
ings in  the  country  seems  now  to  be 
assured. 

It  is  to  be  a  work  of  utility  as  well 
as  a  monument,  open  at  all  times  for 
the  use  of  students.  Faculty,  alumni 
and  their  friends.  It  will  contain  a 
spacious  hall  132  feet  long  by  40  feet 
wide,  for  sculpture  and  memorial  tab- 
lets, and  an  assembly  room  with  a 
seating  capacity  of  800,  adapted  for 
lectures,  chamber  concerts,  recitals, 
meetings  of  the  alumni  and  other  sim- 
ilar gatherings,  on  whose  walls  por- 
traits and  memorials  of  alumni  who 
have  won  distinction  in  civil  life,  may 
be  placed.  There  will  be  in  addition 
four  picture  galleries  and  two  spa- 
cious rooms  reserved  for  use  as  offices 
and  headquarters  of  the  Alumni  As- 


sociation. The  well  lighted  half  base- 
ment, furnished  with  easy  chairs  and 
tables,  will  be  set  apart  for  social  uses. 
The  contribution  of  the  Regents  was 
justified  on  the  ground  that  the  build- 
ing provides  a  place  for  the  art  collec- 
tions of  the  University,  for  which, 
otherwise,  they  would  have  been 
obliged  to  incur  the  expense  of  a  sep- 
arate building. 

While  the  architecture  is  ornamen- 
tal, the  design  is  eminently  practical 
and  useful.  It  is  the  result  of  pains- 
taking investigation  and  consideration 
on  the  part  of  the  memorial  commit- 
tee, acting  in  conjunction  with  a  com- 
mittee of  the  Regents,  consisting  of 
Messrs.  Arthur  Hill,  Frank  W. 
Fletcher  and  Levi  L.  Barbour,  and 
was  adopted  unanimously.  To  all  of 
these  faithful  friends  of  the  Univer- 
sity we  are  under  heavy  obligations. 
The  original  committee  of  the  alumni 
consisted  of  Claudius  B.  Grant,  Hoyt 
Post,  Edward  W.  Pendleton,  George 
H.  Hopkins,  William  N.  Brown,  Vic- 
tor C.Vaughan  and  Martin  L.  D'Ooge. 
Clarence  M.  Burton,  Charles  B.  War- 
ren and  Franklin  H.  Walker  were 
added  later.  I  know  that  they  would 
prefer  to  have  their  names  kept  in  the 
backg^und  on  this  occasion,  but  what 
we  are  about  to  enjoy  we  owe  largely 
to  them,  not  only  the  beautiful  build- 
ing, but  the  long  train  of  consequences 
of  highest  import  to  the  University 
that  is  sure  to  follow  its  erection,  and 
I  would  not  faithfully  represent  the 
alumni  if  I  failed  to  express  their 
sense  of  deep  gratitude  to  the  com- 
mittee, and  its  worthy  chairman, 
whose  abounding  enthusiasm  and  un- 
tiring energy,  has  been  a  constant 
help  and  inspiration.  Steadfast  friend 
and  honored  son  of  the  University, 
Claudius  B.  Grant,  as  student,  teach- 
er, soldier,  lawyer,  legislator,  Regent 
and  magistrate,  in  every  walk  of  pub- 
lic and  private  life,  has  well  repre- 
sented the  highest  ideal  of  American 
citizenship. 

The  fund  that  has  been  subscribed,

even  with  the  generous  donation  of 
the  Regents,  will  not  be  sufficient  to 
complete  the  building  in  appropriate 
manner  and  furnish  it  properly.  We 
must  therefore  regard  what  we  have 
done  as  only  an  earnest  of  what  re- 
mains to  be  done.  There  are  more 
than  30,000  of  us  living,  all  told,  who 
have  enjoyed  the  privileges  of  the 
University,  and  an  annual  contribu- 
tion of  $100,000  would  not  be  too 
large  an  estimate  of  what  is  fairly 
due  as  a  token  of  our  loyalty.  We 
are  so  numerous  that  a  little  from 
each  amounts  in  the  aggregate  to  a 
considerable  sum.  Every  one  can  do 
something.  We  cannot  afford  to  have 
the  building  finished  otherwise  than 
in  a  manner  befitting  its  name  and 
uses,  and  after  it  is  done,  it  must  be 
filled  with  works  of  art.  I  cannot 
doubt  that  the  alumni  entertain  feel- 
ings of  deepest  affection  for  the  Uni- 
versity, and  that  they  require  only  the 
stimulus  of  a  movement  like  this  to 
arouse  them  to  a  proper  appreciation 
of  their  duty  and  opportunity.  What 
we  need  is  something  more  than  mere 
feeling  of  gratitude  for  benefits  re- 
ceived. We  must  have  a  spirit  of  en- 
thusiasm for  the  University  and  her 
cause. 

There  is  a  disposition  sometimes  to 
regard  the  relation  of  a  state  univer- 
sity to  its  Faculty  and  alumni  as  pe- 
culiar, and  to  think  of  the  obligations 
of  its  alumni  as  different  from  those 
of  other  colleges;  but  why  should  it 
be  so?  Our  love  for  our  Alma  Mater, 
our  pride  in  her  commanding  position 
among  the  universities  of  the  world, 
and  our  satisfaction  at  the  renown  of 
her  teachers,  and  the  achievements  of 
her  sons  and  daughters,  is  not  differ- 
ent from  that  of  the  men  of  other 
colleges,  and  does  not  rest  on  differ- 
ent sentiments.  Nor  are  we  under 
less  obligation  than  they  to  assist  in 
advancing  the  material  welfare  and 
endowment  of  the  University.  It  is 
no  argument  to  say  that  it  will  be 
supported  by  the  state  in  any  event, 


and  that  private  contributions  are 
therefore  unnecessary,  or  that  those 
who  have  availed  themselves  of  its 
privileges  have  exercised  nothing  but 
a  common  right  in  using  means  of  ed- 
ucation, provided  by  public  taxation, 
and  that  nothing  therefore  is  due 
from  them.  That  is  a  narrow  and 
selfish  view  which  disregards  the  fact 
that  a  privilege  has  been  enjoyed, 
which  is  none  the  less  special,  be- 
cause theoretically  it  was  open  to  all. 
It  is  true  that  the  students  of  the  Uni- 
versity have  availed  themselves  of  no 
more  than  a  common  right  in  securing 
there  the  education  which  the  state 
provides  for  all,  but  they  are  none  the 
less  under  special  obligation,  as  God 
has  prospered  them,  to  assist  in  pre- 
serving for  others  what  they  have  se- 
cured for  themselves. 

It  is  to  be  hoped  indeed  that  the 
State  will  not  fail  to  continue  her 
generous  provision  for  the  main- 
tenance and  growth  of  the  University, 
but  there  is  always  abundant  room  for 
the  proper  exrcise  of  private  benefi- 
cence, especially  in  the  important  de- 
partment of  art,  which  must  depend 
to  a  considerable  degree  on  private 
generosity,  in  view  of  the  pressing  de- 
mands on  the  funds  of  the  University 
for  purposes  supposed  to  be  more  ur- 
gent. Every  substantial  gift  to  the 
University  is  a  help  to  its  permanence 
and  growth.  The  more  others  think 
of  it,  especially  the  alumni,  the  more 
the  people  will  think  of  it,  and  the 
more  they  will  be  disposed  to  do  for  it. 

Why  should  we  not  glory  in  our 
university?  What  school  has  a  proud- 
er record?  Where  have  Faculties 
been  gathered,  filled  with  men  of 
greater  learning  or  nobler  character? 
If  we  regard  those  who  today  are  de- 
voting their  lives  to  the  highest  ser- 
vice of  mankind  as  teachers  here,  we 
can  harbor  no  forebodings ;  if  we  call 
the  long  roll  of  those  who  are  gone, 
we  realize  our  precious  heritage. 
What  progress  the  University  has 
made,  growing  in  our  day  from  an

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[July 


attendance  of  one  thousand  to  five 
thousand,  with  advancement  in  qual- 
ity always  keeping  pace  with  increase 
in  numbers,  until  we  can  truthfully 
say  that  nowhere  in  this  or  any  other 
land  can  a  young  man  or  woman  re- 
ceive better  training  under  more 
healthful  and  invigorating  influences, 
than  at  Ann  Arter.  New  depart- 
ments have  been  added  until  substan- 
tially all  professional  fields  are  cov- 
ered, and  each  department  has  been 
expanded  by  the  creation  of  new 
courses  and  professorships.  In  all  of 
them  the  requirements  for  admission 
have  been  raised,  and  in  the  profes- 
sional schools  the  courses  have  been 
lengthened  and  their  facilities  have 
been  increased  to  a  point  which  places 
them  in  the  front  rank  of  the  best 
equipped,  and  most  advanced. 

The  University  has  always  kept 
close  to  the  people ;  it  has  been  called 
sometimes  the  poor  man's  college. 
We  are  not  ashamed  of  that  title,  for 
it  has  meant  a  spirit  congenial  to 
simple  living,  and  to  habits  of  study 
and  moral  earnestness.  May  it  ever 
remain  so,  and  the  controlling  element 
of  its  student  democracy  continue  to 
be  the  serious  business  of  preparation 
for  a  career. 

One  contemplating  a  gift  to  chari- 
table uses  is  naturally  concerned  to 
have  assurance  that  it  will  be  pre- 
served faithfully  and  administered 
efficiently.  The  provisions  of  law  for 
the  constitution  of  the  governing 
board  of  this  University,  and  the  his- 
tory of  its  administration  of  the  af- 
fairs of  the  college,  leave  no  ground 
to  apprehend  that  funds  confided  to 
its  care  will  be  either  wasted  or  per- 
verted. No  one  contemplating  a  gift 
here  need  have  misgivings  on  that 
score.  The  first  constitution  pledged 
the  faith  of  the  state  to  preserve  all 
donations  for  schools  or  for  the  Uni- 
versity as  permanent  funds  for  the 
purpose  for  which  they  were  given. 
The  lands  granted  by  the  federal  gov- 
ernment   for   school   purposes    were 


given  directly  to  the  state,  and  in  all 
things  it  has  faithfully  discharged  its 
duty  as  trustee.  No  part  of  the  grant 
was  ever  lost,  and  none  of  the  ftmds 
derived  from  it  were  ever  squandered 
or  misappropriated. 

The  memorial  whose  comer  stone 
we  lay  today,  is  dedicated  especially 
to  the  men  who  have  responded  to 
their  country's  call  in  times  of  war. 
To  the  cry  of  "the  constitution  as  it 
is  and  the  Union  as  it  was,"  more 
than  fifteen  hundred  answered  in  the 
early  sixties.  Many  of  them  gave  up 
their  lives  on  the  field  of  battle. 
"Killed  in  action  at  Chidcamauga— 
wounded  at  Gettysburg — died  in  front 
of  Petersburgh."  These  are  the  brief 
records  of  their  valor  in  the  general 
catalogue.  We  propose  now  to  place 
on  enduring  brass  and  stone  a  tribute 
to  their  de^s,  and  a  memorial  of  the 
principle  for  which  they  fought.  When 
ordinances  of  secession  were  passed 
and  a  peace  confer^ce  was  called, 
Michigan  refused  to  participate.  Her 
governor  voiced  the  sentiment  of  her 
people  in  declaring  that  the  Union  must 
be  preserved  and  the  laws  enforced 
at  whatever  cost.  To  him  and  them 
it  was  not  a  question  of  slavery,  but 
of  the  supremacy  of  law  against  the 
claim  of  right  to  reject  the  adjust- 
ment of  controversies  by  the  regularly 
constituted  tribunals.  We  have  to- 
day, and  always  will  have,  the  same 
question  in  another  form.  It  is  not 
now  indeed  proposed  to  substitute  the 
arbitrament  of  the  sword  for  the  ad- 
judications of  the  courts,  but  equally 
pernicious  and  more  insiduous,  is  the 
suggestion  that  the  constitution  may 
be  changed  by  executive  order  or  by 
legislative  action  or  by  judicial  con- 
struction, or  otherwise,  than  by  the 
methods  provided  in  the  instrument 
itself.  The  integrity  of  the  Constitu- 
tion against  either  violence  or  subter- 
fuge, and  especially  the  maintenance 
of  its  fundamental  doctrine  that  none 
of  the  three  departments  of  govern- 
ment shall  usurp  the  functions  of  the

other,  is  the  condition  of  our  national 
life.  It  is  the  principle  that  distin- 
guishes our  government  not  only 
from  digarchies,  but  also  from  all 
other  forms  of  democracy. 

It  is  not  likely  that  the  defense  of 
the  Constitution  will  again  be  put  to 
the  wager  of  battle,  but  the  vigilance 
of  the  patriotic  intelligence  of  the  peo- 
ple will  remain  the  pride  of  their  lib- 
erty; and  where,  but  from  the  uni- 
versities, are  the  leaders  to  come? 
The  history  of  the  world  teaches  us 
that  its  progress  in  civilization  and 
liberty  is  the  work  of  its  thinkers.  In 
the  trying  days  of  '6i,  the  president 
of  this  University  exerted  a  powerful 
influence  in  impressing  on  the  people 
the  necessity  of  the  Union  to  their 
peace  and  prosperity,  and  their  duty 
to  defend  it  at  whatever  sacrifice,  and 
into  the  hands  of  the  young  men  in 
the  University  was  put  the  "History 
of  the  Dutch  Republic"  that  they 
might  know  what  the  maintenance  of 
a  republic  was  worth,  and  that  pa- 
triots had  been  willing  to  do  for  their 
country  in  a  struggle  not  unlike  that 
which  was  then  impending;  and  we 
may  be  sure  that  there  was  many  a 
pregnant  comment  on  the  text  from 
the  professor's  chair  to  show  how 
free  peoples  had  conducted  long  and 
disastrous  wars  for  liberty.  Thus 
was  the  spirit  of  enlightened  patriot- 
ism aroused. 

No  Commonwealth  has  made  more 
ample  provision  for  the  education  of 
the  people  than  Michigan.  What  she 
has  accomplished  is  due  to  the  patri- 
otism and  wisdom  of  those  who  have 
worked  patiently  and  steadfastly  to 
realize  the  ideals  set  in  the  eaHy  days 


by  wise  men  who  foresaw  that  on  the 
diffusion  of  education  among  the  peo- 
ple rests  the  preservation  and  perpet- 
uation of  free  institutions.  What  was 
true  then  is  true  today.  Religion, 
morality  and  knowledge  are  as  neces- 
sary now  as  then  to  good  government 
and  the  happiness  of  mankind.  Real 
problems  naturally  arising,  and  fan- 
tastic schemes  put  forth  to  capture 
the  multitude  with  alluring  promises, 
make  the  same  old  demand  for  edu- 
cated men  and  women,  trained  to 
think,  to  see  things  as  they  are  with- 
out distortion  or  pi'ejudice,  and  to 
reason  from  facts  in  accordance  with 
the  dictates  of  sound  judgment,  sub- 
ordinating passion  to  prejudice,  and 
tempering  zeal  with  discretion.  This 
is  the  mission  of  the  University,  and 
it  becomes  us,  her  children,  to  assist 
her  not  only  with  words,  but  by  deeds, 
to  fulfill  her  function  and  maintain 
her  prestige. 

Following  Mr.  Maxwell's  speech, 
and  a  selection  by  the  orchestra  the 
meeting  adjourned  to  the  foundation 
of  the  Memorial  Building  where  ev- 
erything was  in  readiness  for  the  final 
ceremony. 

A  large  crowd  was  already  await- 
ing the  procession,  composed  of  grad- 
uates, Regenits,  grand  army  men,  and 
the  Memorial  Committee,  headed 
by  the  University  band.  Every  inch 
of  space  was  occupied  except  the  tem- 
porary platform  upon  whidi  the  final 
exercises  were  to  be  held. 

Following  "Laudes  Atque  Car- 
mina,"  sung  by  a  chorus  of  seniors  in 
cap  and  gown,  Regent  Hill  spoke 
briefly.    His  remarks  follow: 


REGENT  HILL'S  SPEECH 


The  duty  to  which  to-day  I  am  ap- 
pointed calls  back  student  memories 
of  the  scenes,  the  men,  the  cause  which 
this  noble  structure  is  to  stand  espe- 
cially to  commemorate. 

It  was  given  me  to  sit  in  chapel  one 
morning  after  a  disastrous  defeat  of 


the  Union  arms,  when  the  first  great 
President  of  our  University  entered. 
When  he  arose  to  address  us  I  remem- 
ber his  first  deep  spoken  sentence: 

"These  are  the  times  that  try  men's 
souls." 

Then  followed  words    of    courage

and  desperate  resolve  and  others  that 
come  down  to  me  as  spoken  in  this 
spirit : 

"The  torch  of  liberty  bums  brighter 
than  the  lamp  of  learning  and  you 
who  are  able  and  strong  should  fol- 
low it." 

And  so  the  young  men  went  to  the 
war. 

Later  my  class-mate,  Lieutenant 
Ainsworth,  came  back  on  a  furlough, 
brave,  bronzed  and  manly.  We  boys 
saw  him  off  as  did  a  sweet-faced  girl 
whose  heart  went  with  him.  But  a 
few  days  later  came  a  bulletin: 

"Lieutenant  Ainsworth  killed  in  ac- 
tion at  Spottsylvania." 

And  there  comes  to  me  the  picture 
of  a  perfect  Sabbath.  The  sky  was 
sapphire  and  the  sunshine  rested  in 
stillness  on  the  green  of  the  trees. 
It  was  the  day  of  the  military  funeral 
of  Colonel  Welch,  a  son  of  the  Uni- 
versity, killed  leading  his  regiment  in 
a  desperate  charge.  On  his  coffin  lay 
his  sword  and  trappings.  Students 
and  citizens  followed  in  thousands, 
marching  solemnly  to  stately  music 
and  anon  to  the  muffled  drum  which 
was  echoed  in  muffled  heart-beats; 
and  so  he  was  borne  to  his  grave. 

But  there  came  a  day  when  gathered 
again  in  chapel  the  Professor  of  As- 
tronomy burst  in  upon  us  and  read  a 
dispatch  that  Richmond  had  fallen  and 
Lee  had  surrendered  to  Grant  at  Ap- 
pomattox. Such  heights  of  joy  and 
enthusiasm  to  which  we  arose  could 
never  be  matched  except  by  the  depths 
of  gloom  to  which  we  descended  when 
but  a  few  days  later  came  the  words, 
"Lincoln  is  dead." 

The  great  Arch  of  Triumph  we  had 
erected  reaching  from  Northland  to 
Southland  on  which  was  carved  "Re- 
conciliation not  Revenge,"  had  crum- 
bled as  in  the  night,  burying  between 
its  ruins  its  chief  builder. 

Fitting  it  is  indeed,  sir,  that  your 
hands  should  lay  the  comer  stone  of 
the  Temple  which  your  mind  created. 


which  you  saw  and  made  us  see  as  in 
a  vision,  and  which  to-day,  you  and 
your  admirable  committee  are  shaping 
into  this  broad  based  and  beautifd 
reality. 

But  you  are  not  to  proceed  with 
your  duty  until  I  pay  you  a  tribute 
of  personal  and  public  admiration  and 
regard. 

A  student  of  the  University,  a 
teacher  in  the  public  schools,  then  a 
soldier  fighting  for  his  country,  again 
a  student,  then  advocate,  L^islior, 
Judge,  then  Judge  again  and  again  of 
our  highest  court,  who  will  lay  down 
the  ermine  as  white  and  unspotted  as 
if  it  had  remained  always  under  the 
sunlight  of  Siberian  skies.  You  have 
served  as  Regent  of  your  Alma  Mater. 
You  have  defended  always  with  cour- 
age the  law,  not  only  from  the  bench, 
but  in  the  people's  forum. 

By  your  life  I  am  reminded  of  an 
epitaph  over  a  rare  and  famous  Eng- 
lish knight: 

A  Courtier  of  the  chamber, 
A  soldier  of  the  field. 
His  tongue  could  never   flatter, 
His  heart  could  never  yield. 

Now  sir,  with  this  trowel,  entwined 
with  the  colors  of  our  University,  in- 
scribed with  the  name  of  the  Alumni 
Association,  it  falls  to  you  to  perform 
the  service  for  which  you  were  most 
happily  chosen. 

Judge  Grant  was  then  presented 
with  the  silver  trowel  which  had  been 
prepared  for  the  occasion ;  the  copper 
box,  containing  various  papers  and 
documents  relating  to  the  history  of 
the  University  and  the  Memorial 
Building,  was  soldered,  and  the  vai- 
erable  chairman  of  the  Memorial 
Committee  laid  the  stone  in  place  with 
the  following  words: 

"In  behalf  of  the  Regents  of  the 
University,  in  behalf  of  the  Alunmi 
Association,  in  behalf  of  the  commit- 
tee, in  behalf  of  the  loyal  people  of 
the  united  country,  I  declare  the  cor- 
ner stone  of  this  building  laid."

CLASS  DAY  EXERCISES  IN  THE  VARIOUS 
DEPARTMENTS 


THE  LAW  DEPARTMENT 


The  seniors  in  the  Department  of 
Law  were  the  first  to  hold  their  class- 
day  exercises.  The  class  met  at  2 
p.  m.  Monday,  June  15,  mider  Tap- 
pan  Oak,  where  a  platform  had  been 
erected  and  seats  arranged.  Follow- 
ing a  selection  by  Fischer's  orchestra, 
Clyde  Alton  DeWitt,  the  president, 
addressed  the  class  in  part  as  follows : 

Did  you  ever  stop  to  think,  men  of  1908^ 
what  this  University  means,  what  the  pur- 
pose of  its  foundation  was,  what  it  stands 
for  in  our  national  life?  The  answer  is  con- 
tained in  the  famous  ordinance  of  17^7  for 
the  government  of  the  Northwest  Territory, 
"Refigion,  Morality,  and  Knowledge,  being 


necessary  to  good  government  and  the 
happiness  of  mankind,  schools  and  the 
means  of  education  shall  forever  be  en- 
couraged." These  words  express  the  pro- 
found faith  which  our  foreutthers  had  in 
the  education  of  the  people  as  the  means 
of  securing  continued  existence  and  happi- 
ness for  our  nation.  They  are  emblazoned 
on  the  walls  of  University  Hall  and  are 
the  expression  of  the  underlying  spirit  and 
puroose  of  our  Alma  Mater.  The  people 
of  Michigan,  in  whose  consciousness  this 
proposition  is  so  deeply  seated  as  to  seem 
almost  axiomatic,  have  placed  at  the  dis- 
posal of  the  young  men  and  women  of 
their  state,  and  of  the  nation,  these  build- 
ings, with  their  libraries  and  equipment, 
and  with  men  of  character  and  training  in 
charge,    for   the   purpose   of   securing   to

themselves  and  their  posterity  "good  gov- 
ernment and  the  happiness  of  mankind/' 
And  we,  who  have  partaken  of  their  bounty, 
hold  that  which  has  been  given  us  here, 
that  technical  training  and  equipment,  to- 
gether with  the  spirit  and  character  which 
old  Michigan  gives  her  men,  w^  I  say, 
hold  all  this  in  trust  to  be  used,  in  what- 
ever way  we  may,  for  the  futherance  of  the 
cause  of  good  government  and  the  happi- 
ness of  mankind. 

And  there  is  much  for  us  to  do.  At  no 
time  have  more  serious  prd>lems  confront- 
ed our  nation  than  now.  Individualism  is 
last  giving  away  before  the  onward  sweep 
of  collectivism,  of  corporate  organization, 
and  of  private  monopoly.  The  problem  of 
the  conservation  and  distribution  of  na- 
tional wealth  is  pressing  upon  us.  The  per- 
plexing legal  and  governmental  questions 
growing  out  of  our  newly  adopted  colonial 
policy  remain  yet  to  be  solved,  and  must 
DC  solved  in  such  a  way  as  to  give  ex- 
pression in  the  political  life  of  an  Oriental 
nation  to  those  ideals  of  government  which 
arc  peculiar  to  the  American  people.  We 
are  the  men  who  are  to  work  out  the  solu- 
tion of  the  nation's  problems  for  the  next 
half  century. 

As  to  the  class  of  1908,— we  must  not 
feel  that  next  Thursday  is  to  be  its  dying 
day,— but  that  it  is,  in  the  truest  sense  ^ 
the  word,  its  Commencement  day.  Then 
it  is  to  begin  the  discharge  of  the  debt  it 
owes  the  University  and  me  people  of  the 
State  of  Michigan.  Its  members  are  to  be 
scattered  into  every  nook  and  comer  of 
this  great  Union,  each  one  working  and 
struggling  and  playing  a  man's  part  in  the 
national  life.  That  does  not  mean  the 
death  of  our  class.  It  rather  means  its 
transition  into  a  broader  field  of  operations, 
a  bigger  life,  the  commencement  of  that 
for  which  these  years  have  been  years  of 
preparation.  Let  each  one  of  us  feel,  as 
he  takes  up  the  struggle  alone,  away  from 
home  and  the  old  college  friends  that  over 
him  watches  the  spirit  of  the  old  law  class 
of  1908,  rejoiciiuf  in  his  achievements, 
grieving  at  his  failures,  but  ever  sjrmpa- 
thetic  and  watchful,  willing  and  glad  to 
lend  a  helping  hand! 

The  Historian  of  the  class  was 
William  Dunbar  Keeton,  Florence, 
Wis.,  who,  taking  his  duties  seriously, 
sought — 

to  be  exact,  sincere,  and  impartial,  free 
from  passion,  interest,  fear  or  afFe<^tion, 
and  faithful  to  the  truth  which  is  tiie 
mother  of  history.  .   .   . 

We  are  told  tfiat  the  evil  men  do  lives 
after  them,  while  the  good  is  oft  interred 
with  their  bones.     Perhaps  this  is  due  to 


the  fact  that  it  is  easy  to  criticise  and  to 
tell  others  how  things  ought  to  be,  and  to 
destroy  the  works  of  others  without  the 
ability  to  put  anything  in  place  of  die  ruins. 
We  have  reached  the  mountain-top  of 
our  college  career,  the  turning  place  in  our 
lives.  We  now  face  the  sunrise  of  the 
morrow  with  new  fields  of  labor.  It  is  no 
occasion  for  wonder  then  that  our  thoughts 
turn  towards  the  past:  the  time  and  place 
are  both  suggestive  of  retrospection  and 
invite  us  to  strain  our  eyes  backward 
through  years  of  progress  and  study,  and 
on  the  horizon  of  the  past  sec  how  well 
we  builded. 

On  September  25,  1905,  three  hundred 
and  thirty-two  of  us,  in  the  strength  of 
early  manhood,  representing  twenty-seven 
States,  two  Territories,  two  foreign  coun- 
tries and  the  District  of  Columbia,  asson- 
bled  on  the  Campus  of  the  University  of 
Michigan  at  that  time  of  life  when  die 
shadows  of  manhood's  morning  still  were 
falling  towards  the  West. 

Ours  was  the  largest  law  class  which 
had  matriculated  at  Ann  Arbor  since  die 
adoption  of  its  three  years  course  of  study; 
and  our  claim  to  greatness  lay  not  in  mere 
numbers,  as  the  enrolhnent  list  showed 
more  degree  men  than  any  previous  dass. 
The  conditions  of  entry  were  stricter  than 
ever  before !  Special  qualifications  in  Eng- 
lish were  required  for  the  first  time.  Look- 
ing back  over  the  trodden  road,  the  ques- 
tion is  now  asked.  What  have  we  done? 

We  met  in  Room  C,  Law  Building,  early 
in  October,  1905,  and  heard  Arthur  Carlson 
speak  in  a  way  that  made  our  hair  stand 
on  end  when  he  placed  in  nomination  that 
famous  Independent  ticket;  he  became  in- 
spired when  he  reached  the  name  of  our 
first  Vice-President  and  made  Daniel  Web- 
ster glad  he  died  before  being  exposed. 

Bums  Henry,  direct  from  Yale,  a  pres- 
ent Law  Review  assistant,  next  attracted 
attention  by  organizing  the  ever-memorable 
Cooley  Case-Club.  Professor  Bates  at  once 
came  to  Henry's  assistance,  declaring  that 
Henry  had  the  most  original  and  analytical 
mind  of  any  man  in  school  "You  can't 
prove  that,"  called  out  someone  in  the  back 
of  the  room.  Henry  jumped  to  his  feet 
and  yelled,  "Prove  it !  You  don't  need  any 
proof.  Professor.    I  admit  it  myself 

Our  first  election  occurred  in  October, 
1905;  there  were  four  tickets  in  the  field, 
and  we  demonstrated  to  the  otilier  classes 
of  the  Campus  how  a  real  campaign  ought 
to  be  conducted.  The  political  maneuvers 
of  that  election  astonished  all  onlookers, 
received  comment  from  the  local  and  State 
press,  and  was  the  beginning  of  three  y«ars 
of  active  political  study.  Real  politics  ex- 
isted only  in  our  dass.  The  other  classes 
of  the   Campus    never    reached  the  first

reader,  or  even  learned  the  rudiments  of 
the  ^^ame.  Wettrick  was  chosen  our  first 
President  by  seven  plurality. 

As  freshmen  we  saw  inaugurated  the 
spring  interclass  activities.  The  large  num- 
ber of  heavyweights  which  we  furnished 
for  the  tuf-of-war  contest  resulted  in  a 
freshman  victorv,  and  this  fact  obliterated 
the  baseball  defeat 

Henderson  was  chosen  President  at  the 
beginning  of  the  second  year.  His  adminis- 
tration was  a  success  in  every  respect  The 
cultivation  of  class  spirit,  the  Detroit  ban- 
quet and  a  series  of  unexcelled  smokers 
were  perhaps  the  distinguishing  features  of 
the  year. 

S^tember,  1907,  found  us  again  back  on 
the  Campus  for  the  last  round.  We  chose 
DeWitt  rresident,  and  a  better  president 
never  called  a  class  meeting. 

Vft  set  precedents  in  many  respects. 
Twice  we  held  our  annual  banquet  at  De- 
troit, a  thing  no  other  class  ever  did.  It 
was  members  of  our  class  that  disciplined 
the  freshman  who  kidnapped  Bryzn;  it  was 
we  who  rushed  the  engineers.  It  was  Bohn 
who  stole  the  camera  to  prevent  Lyndon 
from  taking  a  picture  of  die  engineers  in 
Dossession  of  the  Law  Building.  Bmbs, 
Newton,  and  Rheinschild  won  M's  on  the 
gridiron;  we  furnished  Kdley  and  Emer- 
man  to  the  baseball  team;  and  in  all  posi- 
tions where  real  men  were  wanted  the  '08 
laws  have  been  there  with  the  material 

The  lectures  of  some  professors  are  to 
be  remembered.  That  is,  we  remember 
that  those  talks  were  a  part  of  the  schedule 
of  class-room  work.  Fhre  minutes  of  a 
lecture  have  often  put  classes  to  sleep,  and 
eight  minutes  are  guaranteed  to  send  whole 
armies  to  the  land  of  Morpheus.  The  sub- 
stance of  those  masterly  productions  has 
displaced  both  chloroform  and  ether  and 
is  now  recognized  by  the  medical  profession 
as  one  of  die  best  anaesthetics  in  modem 
use.  One  day  when  a  professor  was  doing 
his  best  to  get  one  of  them  out  of  his 
system  he  suddenly  looked  up  and  saw 
Judge  Famer  shooting  peas  at  various 
members  of  the  class.  Before  the  lecturer 
could  administer  the  intended  rebuke,  Far- 
ner  spoke  up  and  said,  ''Keep  right  on 
talking,  Professor,  and  Fll  do  what  I  can 
to  keep  the  class  awake.** 

In  September,  1905,  our  class  was  com- 
posed of  three  htmdred  and  thirty^two 
members.  Alas,  we  are  not  all  here.  Time 
and  examinations  have  thinned  our  ranks 
and  we  are  the  survivors  of  those  who  en- 
tered the  battle  fought  in  February  and 
ifune  each  year.  Each  time  when  the  smoke 
ifted  the  ground  was  found  to  be  soaked 
with  tears.  The  Faculty  furlonghed  about 
a  hundred  in  all,  giving  them  a  year's  leave 
of  absence.    I  presume  the  reason  for  this 


was  to  keep  some  of  our  class  to  show 
following  classes  how  to  redte. 

Death,  which  lurks  in  all  pleasant  places, 
saddened  our  hearts  on  several  occasions 
by  claiming  numerous  classmates.  Burton 
was  drowned  June  14,  1907,  while  on  a 
camping  trip  to  Bass  Lake;  Elwell  died  of 
consumption  on  October  6,  1907,  and  Grif- 
fith died  on  January  i  last  While  these 
men's  lives  were  plucked  in  the  bud  of 
manhood  by  Him  whose  wisdom  cannot 
be  questioned,  their  memory  will  long  live 
in  the  hearts  of  those  who  loved  them;  and 
if  each  to  whom  their  memory  is  dear 
would  today  put  a  sinj^le  blossom  on  Uieir 
grave,  they  would  tomght  sleep  beneath  a 
pyramid  of  flowers. 

In  giving  the  pr(q)hecy  for  the  law 
class  of  1908,  Hark>w  A*  Clark,  of 
Marquette,  had  recourse  to  the  oracle 
at  Delos.  As  he  was  wondering  what 
shrine  he  should  visit — 

The  door  opened  and  in  stuped  Hiram 
Erastus  Brown  of  Kentud^.  After  an 
exchange  of  greetings  he  threw  a  bunch  of 
blue-books  upon  the  table  and  declared  that 
the  attendance  committee  insisted  that  he 
take  a  vacation. 

The  vacation  took  the  form  of  a 
trip  to  Greece  where — 

Reminded  of  the  famed  Grecian  oracles  we 
found  ourselves  on  the  lookout  for  a  place 
that  would  tally  with  our  school-boy  pic- 
tures of  an  oracle. 

On  the  slope  of  Cynthus,  near  the  mid- 
point of  the  isle  of  Delos,  we  entered  what 
we  believed  to  be  the  goal  of  our  journey. 
AU  was  darkness.  A  deep,  sonorous  voice, 
like  unto  that  of  one  Bready,  addressed  us. 
The  first  words  were  a  command  to  be 
seated.  .  .  .  We  explained  that  we  were 
desirous  of  learning  wnat  might  be  in  store 
for  our  Class  of  1908.  "It  is  well,"  spake 
the  voice.  "Under  date  of  December  31, 
1930^  there  is  to  be  found  here  a  record 
of  Michigan's  law  class  of  1908.  Let  us 
search  the  record." 

The  fate  of  nearly  aU  the  members 
of  the  class  was  then  set  forth. 

Manila  has  been  the  field  of  Judge  De- 
Witf  s  successes.  Kansas  City  took  "Cap" 
Lyon  under  its  protection  while  Lepper 
now  hails  from  Nicaragua.  "Jap"  Hdsell 
is  holding  his  own  in  the  profession  and 
no  apologies  are  necessary  for  Robert  See 
of  Ohio.  In  Porto  Rico,  Sifre  has  become 
famous,  and  Dunan  and  Duke  are  well 
known  for  their  world  wide  adventures.

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[July 


The  Voice  continued  to  unfold  in  pros- 
pective the  record  of  our  classmates' 
achievemenst,  and  to  tell  of  their  e3q)loits 
and  successes  in  the  profession.  It  seemed 
to  me  that  no  graduating  class  had  ever 
looked  forward  to  a  more  brilliant  future. 
While  we  pondered  a  scene  was  spread  be- 
fore us.  It  was  the  Michigan  Campus. 
The  Law  Building  was  plainly  distingmsh- 
able  in  the  background.  In  the  foreground 
we  noticed  that  a  group  of  about  fifteen 
men  were  doing  strange  things.  Suddenly 
there  was  a  mad  rush,  a  flash  of  weapons, 
and  one  of  the  excited  group  fell  to  the 
ground. 

To  our  astonishment  Professor  Sunder- 
land seemed  to  be  the  insti^tor  of  the 
shooting.  "Be  not  alarmedr  the  Voice 
spake  up.  "This  group  is  acting  out  facts 
for  practice  court  cases."  Then  the  scene 
shifted  to  the  interior  of  the  building. 
There  passed  before  us  a  long  double  line 
—on  the  left  were  youths,  on  the  right 
were  men  of  age.  Hiram  whispered  to 
me:  "What  can  this  mournful  procession 
be?"  Before  I  could  venture  an  opinion 
the  Voice  cleared  the  mystery :  this  is  a 
familiar  scene  in  the  Law  Building  in  193a 
An  edict  has  gone  forth  from  the  inner 
chamber  that  absentees  from  classes  must 
invariably  be  attended  by  phjrsicians  upon 
appearance  before  the  Attendance  Trium- 
virate. 

Alfred  W.  Brandt,  of  Indianapolis, 
Ind.,  then  read  the  class  poem. 

John  Edmund  Crahen,  of  Grand 
Rapids,  as  Class  Orator,  spoke  upon 
"The  John  Marshall  of  the  West,"— 
Judge  Thomas  M.  Cooley.  After 
showing  in  a  few  words  the  place  of 
John  Marshall  in  our  history,  he  said : 

It  is  not,  however,  my  purpose  to  speak 
to  you  today  of  this  great  American.  I 
have  chosen  as  my  theme  a  lawyer  and  jur- 
ist who  lived  in  a  different  age,  and  in  a 
different  section  of  the  country.  One  who 
never  held  so  high  an  office,  one  of  whom 
no  biography  has  ever  been  written,  one 
whose  claim  to  greatness  lies  on  somewhat 
different  grounds,  one  whose  greatness  has 
been  shared  by  all  people  of  the  land,  but 
whose  domicile  was  the  pride  of  ihis  city 
alone,  Judge  Thomas  M.  Cooley,  the  John 
Marshall  of  the  West. 

I  feel  that  it  is  appropriate  on  such  an 
occasion  as  we  celebrate  today,  to  speak  in 
my  humble  way  of  him  who  sacrificed  so 
much  of  life  in  order  to  impart  to  us  a 
portion  of  the  treasures  stored  within  one 
of  the  greatest  legal  minds  this  world  has 
ever  known,  a  man  whose  life  was  a  life 
of  changes.     Born  at  Attica,  New  York, 


Jan.  6,  1824,  and  one  of  a  family  of  fifteen 
children,  early  in  life  he  was  thrown  upon 
his  own  resources,  to  work  out  his  own 
destiny.  Nature  gave  him  a  legal  mind  and 
a  judicial  temperament  and  from  early  boy- 
hood, from  the  day  he  knelt  by  his  moth- 
er's knee,  he  looked  forth  to  the  legal  pro- 
fession as  the  one  ambition  of  his  life. 

As  a  practitioner  he  cannot  lay  claim  to 
greatness.  His  efforts  failed  to  disclose 
Uie  abilities  which  his  after  life  as  judge, 
writer,  lecturer,  and  public  official  proved 
him  possessed.  What  he  lost  here,  the 
world  gained.  Following  his  admission  to 
the  bar  during  the  dull  days  of  his  eariy 
career,  he  labored  with  energy  as  he  laid 
deep  and  firm  the  foundation  upon  whidi 
in  after  life  he  raised  that  monument  of 
intellectual  fame  that  illuminates  the  path- 
way of  process,  and  leads  us  on  toward 
brighter  heights  in  national  destiny. 

In  the  year  1858  the  Michigan  senate 
attracted  by  his  abilities  made  him  official 
compiler  of  the  general  statutes.  The  same 
year  on  the  reorganization  of  the  Michigan 
court  he  was  appointd  its  official  reporter. 
Eight  volumes  that  today  for  deamess  of 
expression  and  brevity  of  statement  stand 
unequalled,  are  a  perpetual  testimonial  of 
his  work.  The  followmg  year,  1859,  he  re- 
turned to  this  city  to  witness  the  birth  of 
an  institution  that  stands  foremost  among 
the  great  institutions  of  the  land,  the  Law 
Department  of  the  University  of  Michigan. 
As  Jay  Professor  of  Law  and  later  Dean  of 
the  department,  he  labored  not  that  the 
world  mi^ht  know  him  but  that  the  rights 
and  liberties  of  the  American  people  might 
forever  be  protected. 

It  was  during  these  years  that  the  legal 
profession  became  indebted  to  Judge  Cooler 
as  an  author.  His  works  on  Blackstone, 
Torts,  Taxation,  Constitutional  law  and 
Constitutional  Limitations  have  enriched  the 
entire  field  of  jurisprudence.  They  have 
elevated  the  standard  of  the  Bench  and 
Bar  and  are  cited  wherever  the  English 
language  is  spoken  and  the  common  law 
administered. 

His  voice  and  pen  have  raised  the  stand- 
ard of  this  college  until  today  it  welcomes 
within  its  walls  men  from  every  comer  of 
the  globe.  From  yonder  home  he  watched 
its  development  from  the  primitive  state; 
and  through  the  influence  of  his  moulding 
hand  and  mighty  pen  he  saw  tiie  rise  of  a 
great  department  of  a  great  institution. 

On  the  death  of  Judge  Manning  of  the 
supreme  bench  in  1064,  Judge  Cooley  was 
prevailed  upon  to  fill  the  vacancy.  I  do 
not  wish  to  exaggerate.  I  do  not  wish  to 
be  extravagant  in  statement  Nothing  can 
be  gained  thereby.  But  I  believe  widi  all 
sincerity  when  that  court  resumed  its  ses- 
sion with  Cooley  on  the  bench  it  was  the

greatest  state  court  that  ever  assembled  in 
he  history  of  this  country. 

The  permanent  legislation  of  the  state  is 
colored  with  his  theories,  the  statutes  of 
Michigan  bear  the  marks  of  his  labors,  the 
decisions  of  the  state  supreme  court  are 
dignified  and  enriched  by  his  judicial  learn- 
ing, and  the  entire  volume  of  American 
jurisprudence  is  broadened  and  strength- 
ened by  his  luminous  and  learned  contri- 
butions. 

As  a  public  official  he  believed  that  a 
public  office  was  a  public  trust,  not  a  party 
trust  or  private  trust,  but  a  trust  reposed 
by  the  people.  Party  ties  could  not  bias 
his  judgment;  conscientious  devotion  to  the 
common  welfare  guided  his  course.  To 
him  that  which  was  not  politically  rig^t 
was  morally  wrong. 

He  gave  expression  to  living  truths 
through  the  press,  the  platform,  the  con- 
versation, the  life.  He  was  dose  to  the 
people  ever  ready  to  hear  their  cause  and 
determine  its  merits.  Grasping  the  focts 
clearly,  accurately  and  vigorously  die  im- 
plication of  the  law  was  made  easy.  His 
decisions  have  stood  the  test  of  time  and 
have  been  cited  by  every  court  national  and 
state  with  almost  unqualified  approval.  The 
heroic  struggles  of  his  life,  the  scenes  of 
privation  and  vrant  of  his  childhood  and 
^outh  have  wrought  in  him  an  inexpress- 
ible tenderness  that  ever  flowed  out  to  llie 
unfortunate,  rendering  his  decisions  with 
such  tenderness  of  heart  that  even  the 
vanquished  recognized  the  justice  of  their 
defeat  His  success  in  life  was  the  logical 
sequence  of  a  life  of  industry  and  all  the 
honors  so  thickly  showered  upon  him  were 
dearly  earned  and  richljr  mented  His  la- 
bors stren^en  the  judicial  foundation  of 
the  repubhc,  upon  which  it  must  forever 
stand,  and  have  justly  made  his  name  illus- 
trious. 

Thomas  Vincent  Bird,  of  Missouri 
Valley,  Iowa,  as  Valedictorian,  ad- 
dressed the  class  upon  some  of  the 
weaknesses  of  our  legal  system,  which 
are  presenting  problems  for  the  law- 
yer of  the  future  to  solve. 

The  laymen  throughout  the  length  and 
breadth  of  this  land  are  complaining  of  the 
sluggishness  and  inadequacy  of  courts  of 
law  in  the  administration  of  justice  and 
even  going  to  the  extent  of  accusing  these 
courts  of  injustice.  This  complaint  is  not 
confined  to  the  laymen  alone,  for  not  a  few 
men  of  the  profession  have  already  joined 
the  ranks  of  th^  discontented  and  are  rais- 
ing their  voices  with  the  people  in  general, 
criticising  the  administration  of  justice  as 
it  has  been  administered,  the  interpretation 
of  law  as  it  has  been  interpreted,  and  the 


application  of  legal  remedies  as  they  have 
been  applied. 

Prom  the  far  south  we  hear  the  com- 
plaint that  the  constitutional  guaranties  of 
the  writ  of  habeas  corpus  and  trial  by  jury 
are  being  denied  the  residents  of  the  Pan- 
ama Canal  district,  and  that  too  under  tiie 
emblem  of  freedom  and  in  the  absence  of 
hostilities,  but  we  are  all  of  accord  that 
there  are  mitigating  circumstances  that  vin- 
dicate such  denial.  But  here  at  home  are 
more  potent  and  unanswerable  obiections. 

Injunction,  that  cherished  equitable  writ 
that  was  designed  to  protect  the  rights  and 
pro^rty  of  persons,  has  been  so  distorted 
m  its  use  as  to  become^  in  many  instances, 
the  very  antithesis  of  its  original  j^urpose. 
It  has  been  so  abused  in  its  application  that 
property  without  impunity  has  been  sub- 
jected to  depreciation  in  value  and  even  to 
entire  spoliation;  it  has  been  used  so  pre- 
judiciallv  to  men's  rights  that  not  infre- 
quently laborers  have  been  denied  that  God- 
given  right  of  freedom  and  have  been 
forced  to  work  where  their  own  safety 
and  welfare  were  greatly  imperiled.  The 
abuse  of  this  writ  has  become  so  flagrant 
that  the  President  of  the  United  States  has 
seen  fit  to  demand  legislation  restraining 
its  application,  and  without  doubt  the  great 
National  Convention  convening  in  the  dty 
of  Chicago  today  will  advocate  anti-injunc- 
tion legislation  as  one  of  the  needs  of  the 
land 

The  speaker  also  discussed  the  in- 
adequacy of  present  legal  remedies  in 
dealing  with  the  questions  arising 
from  requisition  and  extradition  and 
from  the  great  growth  of  corporate 
organizations.    In  conclusion  he  said: 

My  duty  today  involves  jnore  than  a  mere 
recital  of  the  problems  we  may  find  odling 
for  solution,  more  than  a  portrayal  of  our 
school  life  and  its  fitness.  It  involves  that 
trying  and  unpleasant  obligation  of  saying 
farewell  on  behalf  of  the  class  and  giving 
the  parting  word  to  all. 

Three  years  of  untiring  efforts  directed 
along  the  same  lines,  in  the  same  old  halls 
and  lecture  rooms,  under  the  same  hon- 
ored professors  actuated  by  mutual  motives, 
are  sure  to  provoke  some  sentiment,  and 
result  in  some  friendships  that  are  very 
hard  to  give  up,  and  so  with  deep  regrets 
I  assume  the  obligation. 

The  speaker  then  took  occasion  to 
thank  the  Faculty  for  the  instruction 
and  inspiration  of  the  three  years  now 
past,  and  turning  to  his  classmates: 

To  the  class:  We  fi^>  forth  richer  and

THE  LITERARY  DEPARTMENT 


The  class-day  exercises  in  the  Lit- 
erary Department  were  held  in  the 
morning,  Tuesday,  Jime  i6,  under 
Tappan  Oak.  Although  a  little  cod 
the  weather  was  odierwise  perfect. 
President  George  Henry  Hobart,  Jr., 
of  Grand  Rapids,  opened  the  pro- 
gram. A  portion  of  his  address  is 
given: 

Among  the  many  attributes  in  which  we 
may  have  found  ourselves  defidetit  there 
is  one  which,  to  me,  at  least,  seems  to 
stand  out  most  prominently.  It  is  what 
we  mean  by  the  term  ''nerve,"— not  the 
nerve  which  forces  us  into  places  and  po- 
sitions where  we  have  no  n^t  or  license 
to  be— but  the  nerve  which  gives  us  confi- 
dence in  our  own  ability  and.  courage  to 
undertake  the  larger  problems  that  are 
presented  to  us. 

Too  many  of  us,  I  fear,  will  be  apt 
through  a  sense  of  false  modesty,  to  let 
opportunities  escape,  when  if  given  die 
chance  our  ability  and  training  would 
prove  us  capable  of  the  task  we  have  left 
for  someone  else.  If  we  have  found  this 
to  be  our  especial  weakness,  let  us  avoid 
it  and  not  fear  to  attempt,  even  if  there 
is  much  chance  for  failure. 

But  whatever  we  do,  let  us  be  sincere— 
for  without  sincerity  our  work  must  count 
for  nothing.  We  must  choose  the  work 
and  the  object  in  which  we  have  a  sincere 
interest,  and  once  we  have  begun  a  labor, 
never  rest  until  it  is  finished.  For  much 
enthusiasm  and  effort  at  the  beginning  has 
been  made  to  count  for  nothing  by  resting 
on  one's  oars. 

Take  for  example  the  man  who  has  be- 
come prominent  in  college  activities.  He 
has  selected  a  line  of  work  into  which  he 
could  put  his  heart  and  then  he  has  made 
ceaseless  effort  until  he  accompilshed  his 
desire.  For  after  all  it  is  the  hard  and 
consistent  work  that  counts.  And  after  we 
have  watched  the  "climbers^  and  have  seen 
how  success  or  failure  is  brought  about 
here,  we  can  go  into  the  larger  world  and 
be  assured  that  the  same  traits,  the  same 
tactics  will  bring  about  the  same  results. 
We  have  had  a  wonderful  opportunibr  to 
study  human  nature  and  those  who  have 
most  availed  themselves  of  it  are  the  ones 
who  win  reap  the  greatest  benefits. 


The  class  poem  was  read  by  Elsa 
Haller  of  Ann  Arbor: 

Ipondered  long,  but  more  and  more  plexed 

The  problem  grew,  and  I  was  more  than 
vexed 

At  Fate,  that  made  my  role  the  Prophetess, 

I  wished  the  gods  had  built  me  somewhat 
less 

Like  the  good  George,  who  couldn't  if  he 
would ; — 

For  I  was  willing;  if  I  only  could. 

But  if  I  couldn't,  there  was  nought  to  do, 

Save  on  the  cud  that's   called   reflection, 
chew. 

I  chewed  and  chewed  and  all  my  friends 
chewed  too. 

One  day  while  in  a  leafy  solitude 

I  threw  the  dry  old  cud  away. 

And  plucked   a   leaf  that   dangled   on  a 
spray 

Which  overshadowed  me  as  there  I  lay, 

Perplexed  and  vexed  that  dreamy  summer 
day. 

Somnus  or  Morpheus,  or  both  of  them  be- 
gan 

To  weave  their  spell    A  noisy  brooklet  ran 

Singing  beside  me,  and  its  music  made 

Sweet   murmurings — that  made  the  land- 
scape fade 

And  p^limmer,  glimmer,  glimmer,  glimmer, 

Growing  dimmer,  dimmer,  dimmer,  dimmer, 

Until  before  my  sleep-sealed  eyes 

I  saw  familiar  forms  in  visions  rise.

prophecy,  After  matriculation: — 

The  first  two  weeks  were  devoted  to 
talking  about  the  rush  that  was  soon  to  take 
place.    And  dien  the  eventful  night    His- 


tory compels  that  I  adhere  strictly  to  fact, 
or  else  I  would  desist  from  mentioning 
the  sight  that  evening,— trees  laden  down 
with  our  own  class-men,  and  among  the 
numbers,  Walle  Merritt,  Ben  Harris,  RolUn 
Bisbee,  Geor^  Hobart  and  others  who 
afterward  gamed  prominence. 

After  giving  the  class  due  honor 
for  being  the  kist  to  participate  in  the 
hair-cutting  escapades,  and  the  inau- 
guraticm  of  the  new  series  of  fresh- 
soph,  contests,  the  historian  enumer- 
ated other 

offices  and  positions  filled  bv  members  of 
our  class.  H.  John  Wambold,  for  instance^ 
was  an  assistant  in  the  Zoological  Labora- 
tory. 

And  so  the  class  ended  its  sophomore 
year  to  begin  the  following  fall  with  as 
much  enthusiasm  as  ever.  It  was  evident- 
ly settled  upon  that  Rollin  Bisbee  should 
have  the  presidency,  for  only  seven  men 
attended  the  meeting  to  elect  him.  And 
with  Helen  Swinton  acting  as  vice-presi- 
dent we  entered  upon  a  most  eventful  ^ear. 
Here  again  we  made  several  innovations. 
We  established  the  custom  of  presenting 
to  the  class  presidents  some  token  of  our 
appreciation  and  Mr.  McCandless  was  the 
recipient  of  a  suitable  gavel  while  Ben  Har- 
ris became  the  possessor  of  a  silver  mount- 
ed stein.  It  was  this  year  that  the  class 
decided  to  present  the  members  of  the  Girls' 
Basketball  Team  some  souvenir.  Not  long 
afterward,  several  of  the  ^rls.  namelv, 
those  who  were  the  stars  m  basketbaU, 
appeared  with  watch-fobs  bearing  the  sig- 
nature of  the  ''Class  of  1906"  upon  them. 
This  was  the  time,  when  after  two  years 
of  working  together  we  decided  to  get 
acquainted  and  it  was  under  the  leadership 
of  ''Aidee"  Pearce  and  May  Baker,  on  the 
social  committee,  with  the  assistance  of 
Helen  Swinton,  that  several  social  func- 
tions were  given,  chief  among  whidi  were 
the  banquet  and  dimce  given  in  February. 

In  discussing  various  individual 
members  of  the  class,  various  promi- 
nent characteristics  were  pointed  out 
For  instance: 

.  .  .  "Huny  Kane  has  die  reputation 
of  having  joined  more  college  organizations 
and  done  less  work  than  any  other  man  in 
the  class.  Tom  Clancy  is  ever  heard  reciting 
Canadian  poems  at  anv  hour  of  the  day 
on  the  Campus  and  H.  John  Wambold 
owns  enough  watch  fot>s  to  start  a  jewelry 
store.  ...  It  is  a  notable  fact  that  the 
presidents  of  the  Woman's  Leasue  for 
the  past  diree  years  have  been  of  die  class

[July 


year,  Harriet  Smalle^  in  our  junior  year, 
and  Olive  Backs  this  year— what  can  be 
a  better  sign  of  our  worth  than  this?  The 
class  of  1908  has  been  prominent  in  every 

{>hase  of  college  life.  We  have  Elsa  Hal- 
er,  Sarah  Derthick  and  Adelaide  Kingsley 
starring  for  us  in  dramatics  as  well  as  Bert 
Lyon  and  Fred  Woodruff.  The  Deutscher 
Verein  and  Cerde  Pranks  have  had  our 
strong  allegiance.  The  Michigan  Daily  has 
been  well  supported  and  we  need  not  men- 
tion the  results  of  the  Michiganensian. 
"Long"  Stevenson  has  presided  at  the  Ed- 
ucational Club. 

We  must  not  forget  the  exciting  class 
meetings  that  have  been  held  to  decide 
upon  a  memorial.  For  the  results  of  these, 
we  have  but  to  enter  the  library  and  look 
at  the  new  clock  above  the  delivery  desk, 
and  then  think  of  the  Michigan  Union.  In 
Michip^enda  we  had  our  place  under  the 
direction  of  Mr.  Merritt  In  athletics,  we 
have  starred  as  usual, — Gayle  Dull  has  beat- 
en the  record  in  track  meets  and  ^Chef 
Taft  has  made  us  prominent  in  baseball. 

The  Class  Poem  was  written  by 
Edith  Viola  Meads,  of  Calumet  It 
was  entitled,  "A  Day  Dream." 

Longings  for  old  friends,  old  faces, 

Like  some  sweet,  half-sighing  cadence. 
Like  spiced  rose  leaves  in  deep  vases. 

Steal  their  fragrance  'cross  my  conscience. 
Till  I  surcease  mid  from  care; 

Till  I  drift  so  far  from  duty 
That  in  ecstasy  I  dare 

To  revel  in  a  day  dream's  beauty. 
I  am  roving  o'er  a  hill-side. 

Steep,   though   path-sought,  green,  tree- 
grown. 
Where  timid  wild  things  start  and  hide. 

Where   fragrant  breath    of    flowers    is 
blown. 

So  far  below,  I  dizzy  grow 

E'en  in  fancy.    So  I  turn 
Toward  town.    On  musing  feet  and  slow 

Approach  the  place  where  well  we  learn 
The  magic  note  of  joy  in  life; 

So  well  indeed,  that  after  years 
Of  fuller  joy  or  stronger  strife 

Have  claimed  their  share  of  smiles  or 
tears. 
That  note  persists.    The  shaded  square 

Within  the  town,  where  gravely  rise 
Walls  ivy-grown  or  boldly  bare, 

I  mean.  With  blending  smiles  and  sighs, 
I  view  the  circling  crowd  of  youth 

Pour  forth  along  old  walks  from  doors 
Still  older,  till  at  last,  forsooth, 

I  sigh  that  all  that  brave  concourse. 

Dotting  the  Campus,  here  and  there. 
These  gracious  faces  rise,  and  bring 


Of  pleasure  each  the  very  share 

My  life  has  reaped;  for  laugh  or  sting 
As  such  have  paled  away,  until 

There's  left  but  mem'rv  of  the  song 
Of  life  it  meant;  the  pulse  and  drill 

That  led  us  to  the  larger  throng 
Of  workers  in  the  world  outside; 

The  strife  and  compromise  of  youdi,. 
Though  forces  blind,  in  us  abide. 

As  ministers  and  friends  to  trudi. 
So,  when  images  appear. 

And  varied  longings  rise,  to  such, 
"God  bless  the  chance  that  threw  us  here," 

We    say,    "And    made    our     shoulders 
touch." 

Albert  D.  Pearce,  Pentwater,  deliv- 
ered the  class  oration.  He  presented 
some  of  the  present  problems  before 
his  classmates,  as  college  men,  of  the 
world  of  affairs.    He  ^ed: 

What  are  the  problems  in  the  solution 
of  which  the  college  graduate  will  find  Us 
mission? 

Preeminently  the  present  is  an  age  of 
materialism.  Since  the  close  of  the  Civil 
War  American  energy  has  been  centered 
upon  the  commercial  up-building  of  our 
country  until  today  the  United  States  is 
second  to  no  other  nation  in  its  industrial 
resources.  But  in  the  mad  chase  after  the 
commercial  supremacy  of  which  every  non- 
fossilized  American  is  justly  proud,  the 
pendulum  has  swung  too  far,  and  today 
our  greatest  public  questions  center  o^n 
the  adjustment  of  this  overweening  ^rit 
of  commercialism  to  the  ideas  and  ideals 
of  rational  democracy. 

Today  the  standards  that  control  the  bus- 
iness office  govern  the  world.  So  aU  per- 
vading is  the  power  of  business  interests 
that  our  gravest  social  and  political  prob- 
lems have  become  its  mere  andllaries.  Ma- 
terialism, crude  and  insatiate,  crowds  thous- 
ands upon  thousands  of  our  city  poor  into 
the  cess-pools  of  our  tenement  districts 
where  they  are  robbed  of  all  moral  re- 
straints and  the  physical  cleanliness  which 
inevitably  follow  the  enjoyment  of  God's 
fresh  air  and  sunshine. 

Our  halls  of  congress  echo  with  the  vapo- 
rous utterances  of  law-makers  as  they  pro- 
mulgate their  theories  of  popular  govern- 
ment while  in  the  very  districts  of  those 
who  shout  the  loudest— in  the  textile  in- 
dustries— ^hundreds  of  little  children  each 
month  weave  their  little  souls  into  eternity, 
mute  and  grim  sacrifices  to  the  avarice  and 
selfishness  of  the  men  who  so  glibly  prate 
upon  the  glorious  privileges  of  democracy. 

These  are  illustrations  of  that  spirit  of 
commercialism  which,  if  we  are  to  beliere 
what  we  are  told,  so  dominates  our  life

as  to  make  it  hopelessly  incompatible  with 
our  academic  ideals  and  our  high  ethical 
standards.  Were  we  convinced  of  the 
truth  of  such  statementsments  in  going  out 
from  the  sheltered  life  of  college  we  must 
have  a  hopeless  outlook  indeed  when,  from 
necessitpr,  the  teacher,  preacher,  lawyer, 
journalist  and  doctor  must  become  part 
and  parcel  of  this  intense  business  organism. 
But  need  we  accept  this  pessimistic  view? 
An  emphatic  negative  should  be  our  an- 
swer. 

In  direct  contrast  to  the  man  whose 
sole  aim  is  the  acquisition  of  wealth,  there 
is  growing  up  a  body  of  business  men  who 
realize  the  claims  that  society  asserts  and 
who  recognize  the  opportunity  their  voca- 
tion gives  for  dignified,  social  service.  Our 
current  literature  overflows  with  narratives 
of  the  gross  injustice  occasioned  by  men 
of  the  old  type.  Rarely  is  there  brought 
to  the  attention  of  the  American  public 
the  countless  living  and  speaking  monu- 
ments to  the  idea  that  w«dth  is  in  some 
measure,  ''being  converted  to  the  service 
of  ideals.''  Somewhere  a  few  nuscrupu- 
lous  individuals^  working  with  capitalized 
shares  and  capitalized  cunning,  buy  up  a 
legislature,  corrupt  a  state  judiciary  and 
openly  enervate  the  vitalitv  of  republican 
institutions.  Most  properly  the  news  is 
paraded  over  the  nation.  But  for  every  such 
perversion  of  liberty,  for  every  such  mis- 
carriage of  justice,  there  spring  up  o^er 
men  of  wealth  who,  gifted  with  the  proper 
prevision,  sec  the  ultimate  result  of  such 
a  course  and  fight  it  only  as  vigorous  men 
can  fight 

My  purpose  is  not  to  urge  the  man  of 
academic  training  to  be  an  apolo^st  for 
that  standard  of  commercialism  which  per- 


mits its  mad  effort  to  pile  mountains  of 
currency  on  the  world's  huge  gold  heap  to 
blind  men  to  all  other  interests.  But  1  do 
contend  that,  as  college  men,  we  ought  to 
give  due  credit  to  the  type  of  business  man 
who  has  the  wisdom  to  see  that  the  mere 
dollar  chaser  after  all  can  get  but  a  left 
hand  relationship  with  life. 

The  influence  of  the  college  graduate  has 
been  vastly  overrated  by  commencement 
orators.  Very  few  of  the  vital  questions 
of  the  past  century  have  been  clarified  by 
acadenuc  efforts  alone.  Judged  by  actuau 
achievement  there  is  some  measure  of  jus- 
tice for  the  use  of  the  common  epithet  of 
contempt,  'academic'  But  the  »ult  lies 
with  the  men  and  not  with  the  method. 
Happily  we  see  evidences  of  an  academic 
evolution  in  this  regard.  The  most  effec- 
tive professor  today  is  the  man  who  not 
only  lectures  upon  political  and  economic 
history  but  who  b^  his  books  and  by  his 
practical,  constructive  work  helps  mold  the 
government  under  which  he  lives.  The 
most  successful  and  most  influential  college 
graduate  is  not  the  biped  thesis  whose 
angularities  are  hidden  under  a  cap  and 
gown.  He  is  most  influential  who  en- 
deavors to  emulate  the  example  set  by  the 
old  English  knights.  Pull  armored,  he  had 
just  occasion  to  meet  an  unprotected  an- 
tagonist in  a  trial  by  battle.  Confident 
in  his  strength  and  inspired  by  a  chivalrous 
sense  of  fairness  to  his  opponent  the  knight 
doffed  his  armor  and  on  equal  terms  fought 
to  victory.  So  the  true  disciple  of  aca- 
demic democracy,  retaining  all  the  power 
of  his  training  doffs  his  educational  mil- 
linery and,  on  terms  of  equality  alike  with 
friend  or  foe,  becomes  a  vital  force  for 
civic  good. 


THE  ENGINEERING  DEPARTMENT 


Class-day,  in  the  Engineering 
School,  was  held  on  the  morning  of 
Wednesday,  June  17,  in  the  Engin- 
eering Quadrangle.  After  a  number 
of  Michigan  songs  by  the  class,  and 
a  short  address  by  Dean  Mortimer 
E.  Cooley,  Edward  Morton  Hone^ 
read  the  Class  Essay,  portions  of 
which  are  given.  It  was  entitled, 
"What  shall  be  our  Measure  of  Suc- 
cess?" 

Today  our  business  is  measured  by  the 
fact  that  we  are  graduating  from  one  of 
the  greatest  universities  in  our  land.  In 
the  past,  our  standards  of  success  have 
been  set  for  us  in  the  class  room  and  on 
the  athletic  field.     One  after  another  we 


have  passed  safely  over  the  small  hills 
of  difficulty  placed  m  our  pathway  and  then 
finally  reached  that  ragged  and  lofty  sum- 
mit, ''Strength  and  Resistance  of  Mater- 
ials/' But  this  measure  of  success,  for 
which  we  are  seeking,  is  not  simply  a 
question  of  completing  definite  class  room 
work,  or  of  the  satisfactory  execution  of  a 
drawing  for  our  employer.  The  problem 
is  broader  than  this.  It  involves  the  ques- 
tion of  whether  we  intend  to  live  our  fives, 
purely  for  the  gratification  of  selfish  de- 
sires, or  whether  we  are  to  put  our  own 
personal  interests  in  the  background  and 
give  some  of  our  time  and  labor  in  minis- 
tering to  the  needs  of  our  fellow  men. 
For  those  whose  only  pleasure  is  in  com- 
plex social  activity  and  the  possession  of 
worldly  ffoods,  success  can  only  mean  the 
striving  tor  money,  which  will  bring  these 
things,  but  for  those  whose  natures  are

molded  in  a  somewhat  different  way,  there 
is  «  world  of  pleasure  and  happiness  and 
senuine  satis^iction  in  living  and  working 
for  others.  But  the  ordinary  ideas  of  suc- 
cess are  so  numerous  and  varied  in  char- 
acter, and  so  many  ideals  are  built  from 
purely  selfish  motives,  that  no  one  meas- 
ure of  success,  and  that  an  unselfish  one, 
will  serve  to  make  clear  in  our  minds,  the 
course  that  we  should  map  out  for  our 
whole  life  work. 

We  may  measure  our  success  from  a 
strictly  financial  standpoint,  or  from  stand- 
ards of  personal  achievement  and  prestige; 
of  personal  well-being,  healUi,  happiness,  or 
the  bearing  of  responsibilities  in  our  pro- 
fession. As  engineers  our  success  must  be 
measured  in  terms  of  public  service  and 
earnest  devotion  to  the  requirements  of 
our  profession.  We  must  make  the  busi- 
ness of  Engineering,  our  great  interest,  to 
which  every  other,  save  religion,  must  sub- 
ordinate itseli  But  let  us  not  lose  sight 
of  the  fact  that  our  technical  schools  are 
turning  out  primarilv, — ^men,-^e  most 
earnest  servants  of  America  today  and, 
that,  in  the  building  of  machines  and  struc- 
tures, manliness  and  honesty  must  never 
be  forgottea 

Another  way  for  us  to  measure  our  suc- 
cess will  be  by  the  rapidity  and  readiness 
with  which  we  assume  complete  respon- 
sibility for  the  work  that  we  turn  out,  or, 
more  strictly,  that  is  one  of  the  ways  in 
which  men  will  measure  us,  and  it  will  de- 
termine largely  our  success  or  failure 

What  part  do  great  financial  rewards 
play  in  the  making  of  a  successful  engin- 
eer? When  we  learn  that  the  graduates 
of  this  Engineering  Department  are  re- 
ceiving, for  professional  duties  alone,  from 
nothing  up  to  seventy  thousand  dollars  a 
year,  does  it  mean  that  the  success  of  each 
man  is  ^aded  in  just  that  way?  Does  it 
necessarily  mean  that  the  man  with  the 
seventy  thousand  dollars  is  the  happiest, 
most  efficient,  and  most  successful  grad- 
uate of  our  school?  Professor  Cooley  has 
been  p;athering  some  data  during  the  past 
year  m  regard  to  the  financial  success  of 
the  alumni  of  this  deparment  How  much 
do  you  think  the  man,  who  filled  out  the 
following  card  for  Professor  Cooley,  misses 
a  finanaal  reward?

and  abundance  to  live  on. 

But  some  of  you  will  say,  money  is  the 
only  reward  an  engineer  gets  for  his  ser- 
vice, there  is  little  in  the  shape  of  high 


honorary  offices  as  conqiensation,  tiiere- 
fore,  if  an  engineer  does  not  get  a  laige 
financial  return,  he  is  an  unsuccessful  maa 
In  answer  to  Uiis  I  will  say,  no  men  save 
rascals,  attain  to  ^eat  financial  success  ex- 
cept they  work  faithfully  and  oonsdenioos- 
ly  on  every  piece  of  work  they  undertake. 
Serve  faimfuUy  and  honestly  and  unsel- 
fishly, your  employer,  or  your  client  and 
financisu  success  must  be  yours. 

We  often  wonder  just  what  is  the  rda- 
ion  between  success  and  personal  happiness. 
Surely  as  successful  men  we  should  be 
happy  men.  It  has  been  s^d,  'Worldly 
success,  however,  though  muversally  cov- 
eted, can  be  onlv  desirable,  in  so  kr  as 
it  contributes  to  happiness,  and  it  will  coe- 
tribute  to  happiness  very  little,  unless  diere 
be  cultivated  a  lively  benevolence  to  every 
animated  being."  In  other  words,  if  in 
the  gaining  of  prominence  and  position  in 
the  world,  we  are  bound  up  m  entirdy 
selfish  occupation,  with  no  thought  for  that 
struggling  humanity  about  us,  and  with 
none  of  the  satisfaction  that  comes  from 
kindness  and  benevolence;  living  out  oar 
lives  in  loneliness  and  emptiness  of  spirit, 
diat  success  which  should  have  been  ours, 
which  we  should  have  inherited,  would  be 
the  last  thing  that  a  dose  scrutiny  of  oar 
lives  would  suggest.  Let  us  build  oar 
worldly  success  upon  a  foundation  tiiat 
will  be  firmly  seated  in  personal  happiness, 
for  success,  when  the  life  becomes  un- 
happy, sinks  away  into  insignificance. 

Ford  E.  Boyd,  of  Fenton,  Midt, 
as  Historian  then  outlined  for  the 
memories  of  his  class-mates  some  of 
the  more  important  events  of  the  past 
four  years. 

As  the  month  of  Sq>tember  of  190A  was 
hurrying  to  its  dose,  there  were  gathered 
here  from  as  many  directions,  a  host  four 
hundred  strong,  all  of  whom  were  to  form 
the  nudeus  of  that  now  rapidly  fading  vis- 
ion of  which  we  are  the  vain  and  glorioos 
remnant,  the  class  of  1908.  .  .  . 

Our  college  career  having  been  saldy 
launched  events  sped  upon  the  wings  <A 
time,  and  ere  we  realized  it  we  were  classi- 
fied and  pigeonholed  with  a  lade  of  con- 
sideration and  a  nonchalance  that  was  noth- 
ing if  not  appalling,  and  who  will  ever 
forget  it? 

Events  swiftly  as  they  came,  swiftly 
went;  many  were  the  new  experiences  to 
be  endured  and  things  to  be  seen.  Hav- 
ing a  preconcdved  notion  of  our  own  im-

scarcely  more  than  a  few  knoddngs  of 
the  knees  and  the  slightest  Mnsea,  but 
these  suppressed  signals  of  distress  were 
merely  the  forerunner  of  worse  to  come, 
for  while  we  defended  the  cannon  as[ainst 
the  onslaught  of  the  Sophomores  with  a 
determination  that  did  us  credit,  our  more 
serious  efforts  were  devoted  toward  over-

heralded  silence  from  treetop  to  treetop. 

In  our  Sophomore  year  the  class  under 
the  direction  of  Sib  negotiated  several 
smokers  which  were  the  occasion  of  great 
hilarity.  They  were  followed  by  that  event- 
ful banquet  m  the  Cook  House  at  which 
Professor  Gouldin^  in  his  maiden  speech 
amused  us  with  his  comparisons  of  Octy 
with  the  sphere  and  Frost  with  the  right- 
line  cylinder.  It  was  here  also  after  that 
great  speech  of  Professor  Davis  on  the 
^Conservation  of  our  college  resources,  or 
How  to  work  the  Legislature"  that  Rosy 
again  came  into  the  limelight  by  proposing 
the  resolution  which  resulted  in  the  aboli- 
tion of  that  time-h<Miored  tradition  of  hair- 
cutting. 

During  the  year  we  again  won  the  Soph- 
Fresh  meet  and  second  place  in  inter-class 
track  events.  Springtime  presented  to  us 
a  new  diversion — ^the  tug  of  war,  rock 
smuggling  contest,  and  pushball  events. 
Our  defeats  were  glorious:  the  water  was 
fine,  we  all  went  in,  the  rock  contest  was 
a  miscalculation,  the  pushball  encounter  a 
repetition,  and  thus  tiie  year  ended  in  a 
blaze  of  glory— but  the  glory  was  not  ours. 

The  third  act  of  this,  our  coUege  drama, 
shows  the  center  of  the  stage  taken  by 
Todd  and  his  private  secretary,  Langley. 
Lanffley  was  our  chief  executive  during 
the  Junior  year,  during  that  time  when  we 
were  beginning  to  look  upon  ourselves  with 
pleasure  as  upper  classmen.  Many  were 
overcome  by  the  aroma  of  dieir  own  ad- 
miration, but  few  admitted  it  Engelhart, 
one  day  as  we  were  strolling  up  the  Diag- 
onal, put  his  arm  in  mine  and  looking  at 
me  with  those  large  sheep  eyes,  confe^ed, 
"S^y,  Phoeb.,  who^d  ever  thought  Fd  get 
to  be  an  upper  classman?^ 

To  relate  m  detail  the  events  which  have 
occurred  during  this,  our  last  cpllege  year, 
seems    unnecessary,    to    swiftly   has   time 


flown.  We  have  honored  Frost  by  the 
presidency,  as  he  has  honored  us  by  accept- 
ing it  When  we  realize  that  he  is  die 
last  to  fill  that  chair  for  us  we  cannot  but 
be  conscious  of  the  hour. 

The  program  was  concluded  by  the 
address  of  the  president  of  the  class, 
Harry  Henry  Frost,  of  Bay  City. 

The  engineering  profession  is  truly  a 
grand  one.  I  love  to  think  of  the  engi- 
neer, as  a  pioneer.  He  is  the  forerunner 
of  civilization;  he  enters  a  new  country; 
he  is  the  leading  spirit  in  its  early  develop- 
ment, and  then  performs  a  large  part  m 
the  further  building  up  of  our  great  com- 
munities and  centers  of  industry.  But  we 
should  not  forget  the  enormous  responsi- 
bilities which  our  profession  thrusts  upon 
us.  We  cannot  now  fully  appreciate  what 
it  really  means  to  have  the  lives  of  thous- 
ands intrusted  to  our  care.  Undoubtedly 
we  shall  be  called  upon  to  aid  in  the  de- 
sign and  construction  of  bridges,  dams, 
large  buildings,  etc,  and  in  order  that  we 
may  do  our  work  in  a  capable  and  efficient 
manner,  it  is  absolutely  essential  that  we 
be  first  honest  with  ourselves  and  then 
honest  with  the  world.  I  would  like  to 
leave  this  thought  with  you,  that  there  is 
something  for  each  one  of  us  to  accom- 
plish and  it  behooves  us  first  to  find  our- 
selves, as  it  were,  and  then  to  do  every- 
thing within  our  power  to  make  our  efforts 
worth  while. 

Furthermore,  we  shall  meet  many  who 
are  deeply  interested  in  our  University 
and  its  affairs.  Both  Alumni  and  prospec- 
tive students  will  be  glad  to  hear  of  what 
has  been  done  here  and  of  what  is  being 
done.  We  should  make  them  acquainted 
with  the  great  movements  now  active  in 
promulgating  that  spirit  of  good-fellowship 
which  has  always  been  one  of  the  great 
characteristics  of  the  student  body  at  this 
institution.  I  refer  especially  to  the  Un- 
ion. No  other  one  thing  has  ever  done 
so  much  toward  creating  a  true  Michigan 
spirit  as  has  this  organization.  Although 
we  cannot  be  here  to  aid  personally,  it  is 
our  duty  to  extend  our  moral  support  and 
to  interest  others  in  this  great  movement.

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[July 


THE  SEMI-CENTENNIAL  OF  THE  CLASS 

OF  1858 


The  Literary  Class  of  1858  num- 
bered forty-eight  upon  graduation. 
Eleven  of  the  nineteen  survivors  were 
present  at  the  class  semi-centennial  re- 
union held  on  Wednesday,  June  17, 
under  the  Tappan  Oak  and  in  the 
shade  of  the  trees  planted  around  it 
by  the  class,  fifty  years  before,  as  a 
class  memorial  to  Alma  Mater. 

As  a  part  of  the  semi-centennial  ex- 
ercises the  class  memorial  was  pre- 
sented to  the  Regents  and  accepted  by 
that  body.  The  presentation  on  be- 
half of  the  class  was  made  by  Cpl.  B. 
M.  Thompson,  of  the  Law  Depart- 
ment, and  the  memorial  was  accepted 
on  behalf  of  the  Regents  by  Regent 
Loyal  E.  Knappen.  President  James 
B.  Angell  was  called  upon  and»  re- 
sponded briefly.  We  publish  in  full 
the  presentation  and  acceptance  ad- 
dresses and  the  remarks  of  Dr.  Angell. 

After  these  exercises,  the  class  sat 
down  to  a  banquet  in  a  tent  pitched 
under  Tappan  Oak,  the  guests  of  their 
classmate.  Liberty  E.  Holden,  prc^rie- 
tor  and  editor  of  the  Cleveland  Plain 
Dealer.  After  the  banquet  the  class 
gathered  around  the  class  boulder  and 
Joel  Moody  recited  a  poem,  and  the 
old  oak  was  crowned  with  roses.  The 
poem  follows  Dr.  Angell's  remarks. 

PRESENTATION 

COL.  B.  M.  THOMPSON 

Gentlemen  of  the  Board  of  Regents: 

The  class  of  '58  have  for  some  time  con- 
templated requesting  your  body  to  accept 
their  class  memorial  in  order  that  it  may 
be  properly  cared  for  and  preserved  during 
all  the  coming  years.  Nature  is  persistent 
in  reminding  her  children  that  they  are 
mortal,  here  for  a  moment,  then  gone  for- 
ever. The  sun  that  has  lighted  our  path- 
way for  more  than  man's  allotted  years  is 
fast  sinking  below  the  western  horizon. 
We  are  walking  in  the  soft  and  mellow 
glow  of  the  evening  twilight  of  life.  The 
air  is  still  sweet  and  balmy,  laden  with  the 
lingering  perfume  of  the  early  morning,  so 


distant  apparendy,  really  so  near.  But 
while  we  who  survive  are  stOl  strong,  alert 
and  youthful,  we  know  that  the  nightfall 
approaches  and  that  soon  kind  nature  will 
luU  to  peaceful  slumber  and  repose,  die 
last  weary  survivor. 

One  of  our  number,  William  E.  Quiol^, 
beloved  by  his  classmates,  widely  knows 
through  the  state  and  in  foreign  lands, 
whose  personal  worth  and  conspicuous  ser- 
vices have  been  appropriately  recognized  by 
your  body,  received,  only  ten  days  ago,  that 
final  summons  from  the  Master,  which 
comes  to  each  and  to  every  one.  He  had 
been  planning  for  this  reunion  and  had 
looked  forward  to  it  with  pleasure.  That 
summons  ends  once  and  for  all  time,  every 
worldly  plan  and  cancels  all  human  engage- 
ments. This  unexpected  vacancy  in  our 
ranks  has  impressed  us  more  than  ever 
with  the  wisdom  of  our  request  We  are 
mortal,  the  Board  of  Regents  is  immortal 
The  places  that  know  us  will  soon  know  us 
no  more,  but  as  the  seasons  come  and  go 
and  nature  remains  always  the  same,  so  me 
personnel  of  your  Board  may  change  from 
time  to  time,  but  the  legal  person  will  re- 
main to  watch  over  and  guide  tiie  progress 
of  this  ^eat  institution  of  learning  throuf^ 
the  commg  centuries.  We  have,  therefore, 
requested  the  privilege  of  placing  in  your 
charge  and  keeping  die  class  memorial  of 
the  class  of  1Q58:  this  boulder  and  tabid; 
that  venerable  oak,  and  this  beautiful  grove. 

The  members  of  our  class  called  them- 
selves Dr.  Tappan's  boys,  and  just  half  t 
century  ago  this  last  spring,  each  of  those 
boys  planted  one  of  these  trees  in  memory 
of  Ahna  Mater  and  we  christened  this  old 
oak,  a  survivor  of  the  primeval  forest,  the 
Tappan  Oak,  in  honor  of    the    dear  old 
Chancellor,    one    of    nature's     noblemen. 
Those  boys  of  his  have,  during  the  last 
fifty  years,  wandered  far  and  wide.    Th^ 
have  seen  the  men  sitting  in  the  counsel 
chambers  of  all  the  great  nations;  they 
have  met  famous  goierals,  learned  judges, 
renowned  orators,  writers  and  scholars,  but 
nowhere,  at  home  or  abroad,    have   tfaor 
met  another  Dr.  Tampan.    To  most  of  the 
men  now  living  he  is  simply  an  historical 
character,  a  great  teacher.     To  us  he  is 
now,  as  he  always  has  been,  the  ChanceUor, 
upon  whom  nature  had  lavished  the  charms 
of  person,  the  grace  of  Apollo,  and  the 
dignihr   and  bearing    of    Jupiter  Tonans. 
But  above  all,  he  was  near  and  dear  to  us 
on  account  of  his  devotion  to  truth,  his 
love  of  justice,  his  sweet  diari^  which  for- 
gave, seventy  times  seven,    all    the  little

THE  SEMI-CENTENNIAL  OF  '58

brood  of  follies  that  are  so  near  to  the 
heart  of  the  healthy,  the  hilarious,  the  im- 
petuous college  youth.  He  never  saw  one 
of  our  peccadfillos  if  he  could  walk  around 
it,  or  conceal  it.  We  loved  him  for  that, 
and  ultimately  without  any  command  being 
given,  and  in  part,  I  believe,  because  no 
command  was  given,  we  refrained  from 
doing  those  things  which  we  believed  Dr. 
Tappan  would  not  approve.  There  was 
little  temptation  to  defy  authority  because 
there  were  no  rules  of  conduct  to  violate. 
We  were  simply  required  to  deport  our- 
selves as  gentlemen.  To  do  under  all  cir- 
cumstances and  upon  every  occasion  what 
a  gentleman  ought  to  do.  Dr.  Tappan  set 
the  pace  by  obeying  the  rule  himself.  His 
faith  in  young  men  was  boundless,  and  it 
aroused  in  them  faith  in  all  liiat  is  pure 
and  of  good  report.  He  was  a  bom  leader 
of  men,  and  there  have  been  very  few  per- 
sons who  had  the  power  and  ability  to  im- 
press their  individual  character  upon  others, 
possessed  by  Dr.  Tappan. 

The  members  of  our  class  were  in  no 
particular  remarkable  boys  nor  have  they 
developed  into  remarkable  men,  but  they 
acquired  on  this  Campus  the  abili^  and 
power  of  becoming  true  men.  During  all 
these  past  years,  like  other  men,  they  have 
often  left  undone  the  things  they  ought  to 
have  done  and  have  done  things  they  ought 
not  to  have  done,  but  the  sum  total  of  their 
sins  does  not  include  the  sin  of  hypocrisy. 
Ever^  one  has  carried  his  opinions  pinned 
to  his  coat  sleeve.  He  may  have  been 
wron^,  or,  happily,  he  may  have  been  right, 
but  right  or  wrong,  he  has  always  pos- 
sessed the  courage  of  his  convictions,  and 
whenever  the  time  came  for  a  show  of 
hands,  on  any  question  social  or  political, 
he  has  stood  up  and  been  counted,  and  it 
mattered  not  whether  he  stood  alone  or 
with  the  majority.  Much  of  the  credit  for 
all  diat,  is  due  to  this  University  under  the 
broad  and  catholic  administration  of  Dr. 
Tappan,  which  has  been  continued  so  hap- 
pily and  successfully  by  Dr.  Angell. 

The  survivors  of  the  class  of  '58  are 
fortunate  in  having  been  given  strength 
and  length  of  da;^  m  a  most  important  era 
of  the  world's  history.  The  events  which 
occur  in  the  lifetime  of  an  individual  are 
for  him  a  part  of  his  personal  experience. 
What  happened  prior  to  his  personal  recol- 
lection is  for  him,  history  merely,  or  tradi- 
tion. The  members  of  our  class  belong  to 
a  generation  to  whom  the  historical  events 
and  the  magical  growth  and  development 
of  the  past  half  century  are  personal  ex- 
perience. On  Commencement  day  fifty 
rears  ago  we  stood  as  near  to  the  battle  of 
Waterloo  as  does  the  class  of  1906  to  the 
battle  of  Gettysburg.  As  bo^  we  saw  a 
remnant  of  the  venerable  survivors  of  Val- 


ley Forge  and  Yorktown.  We  met  men, 
still  in  the  full  vigor  of  manhood,  who 
fought  under  Jackson  at  New  Orleans  and 
under  Scott  at  Lund/s  Lane.  The  six 
hundred  who  chareed  at  Balaklava  and  the 
men  who  marched  to  the  relief  of  Luck- 
now,  while  the  bagpipes  droned  **The  Camp- 
bells are  Coming,"  were  men  of  our  gen- 
eration. We  took  personally  a  part  in  die 
politic"^  discussions,  bitter,  vindictive  and 
revolt.  .Aonary,  which  culminated  in  civil 
war.  We  heard  the  echoes  of  the  first  shot 
fired  at  Fort  Sumter  and  saw  the  smoke 
of  battle  lift  and  float  away  from  Appo- 
mattox. We  had  a  hand  in  the  fierce  politi- 
cal controversy  that  followed  the  Civil  War 
and  ended  in  the  reconstruction  measures 
that  have  begotten  a  brood  of  social  and 
racial  problems  that  now  menace  society 
and  the  state. 

The  political  are  perhaps  less  important 
than  the  social  and  material  changes  that 
the  class  of  '58  have  witnessed.  We  have 
passed  through  an  era  of  great  mechanical 
inventions  and  have  witnessed  the  marvel- 
ous changes  these  inventions  have  produced 
changes  these  inventions  have  produced. 
When  we  were  consuming,  with  prodigal 
indifference,  the  inheritance  of  the  barefoot 
boy,  fun,  frolic  and  the  joy  of  being  alive, 
the  farmer  sowed  his  wheat  broadcast,  cut 
it  with,  a  cradle,  threshed  it  with  a  flail  and 
separated  the  grain  from,  the  chaff  with  a 
fanning  mill.  Four-fifths  of  the  mechanical 
labor  of  the  country  was  performed  by  the 
independent  workman  and  artisan,  a  class 
that  has  been  absorbed  and  obliterated  by 
the  great  organizations  of  labor  unions.  In 
our  day  was  the  beginning  of  the  applica- 
tion of  steam  to  water  and  land  transporta- 
tion. Morse  had  invented  the  tel^aph, 
but  electricity  was  still  a  toy,  a  puzzle  and 
a  mystery  and  was  yet  unbroken  to  the 
service  of  man.  The  freshman  of  today  it 
further  removed  in  thought  and  sympathy 
from  that  period  than  were  we  from  the 
middle  ages.  And  the  changes  that  occurred 
elsewhere  have  occurred  here  also.  Some 
of  this  class  were  bom  in  the  territory  of 
Michigan,  east  of  the  present  center  of  the 
nation's  population.  When  as  freshmen  we 
gathered  upon  this  Campus  in  1854  the  en- 
tire population  of  the  state  was  less  than 
the  present  population  of  the  dty  of  Detroit 
The  entire  enrollment  of  the  University, 
both  Faculty  and  students,  was  less  than 
is  present  teaching  force.  Our  class  was 
the  first  large  class  and  graduated  forty- 
eight,  nineteen  of  whom  survive.  This 
Campus,  now  crowded  with  buildings  and 
shaded  by  pleasant  groves,  was  an  open 
field  There  was  the  medical  building,  still 
standing  on  East  University  avenue.  There 
were  four  small  dwelling  houses,  occupied 
by  professors,  two  on  the  south,  and  two

on  the  north  side.  There  were  in  addition 
two  college  buildings^  the  north  and  south 
wings  of  the  main  building.  In  these  wings 
the  members  of  our  class  were  housed 
under  the  old  dormitory  system,— the  last 
class  to  whom  that  boon  was  given.  The 
interior  arrangement  of  those  wings  has 
been  materially  changed,  but  the  old  halls 
are  still  there,  which  sounded  once  and 
again  with  our  shouts  and  ^eals  of  laugh- 
ter. The  echo  of  that  shouting  and  laugh- 
ter is  still  reverberating  through  those  hauls, 
quite  audible  to  the  old  boys. 

There  are  the  old  windows,  wholly  un- 
changed, out  of  which  we  looked  down 
upon  many  a  game  and  frolic  and  through 
which  we  gazed  into  the  wide  world 
listening  to  the  call  to  go  forth  and 
free  the  captive,  defend  the  weak  and 
right  the  wrong.  The  same  call  to  du^ 
that  has  come  to  the  knifi^t  errant  in  aU 
past  ages  and  is  this  day  ringing  in  the 
ears  of  all  true  and  loyal  souls  who  have 
not  thrown  aside  the  buckler  and  shield  of 
faith  and  hope. 

The  Regents  of  that  day  had  made  a  for- 
tunate selection  of  men  to  la:^  the  founda- 
tions of  this  University.  Aside  from  Dr. 
Tappan,  a  host  in  himself,  there  were  Pro- 
fessors Frieze,  Boise,  Winchell,  Williams, 
Fasquelle  and  Andrew  D.  White.  All  were 
men  of  learning,  of  ability,  and  above  all. 
and  more  important  than  all  else,  men  of 
character,  wim  knowledge  of  affairs  and  of 
human  nature,  especially  human  nature  of 
the  student  variety.  I  think  my  classmates 
will  pardon  me  if  I  frankly  admit,  that 
some  of  us  have  forgotten  much  of  the 
learning  we  gathered  from  books  in  our 
under^aduate  days  and  a  few  of  us  have 
outstripped  the  others  and  have  forgotten 
still  more.  But  the  knowledge  we  acquired 
from  our  intercourse  with  each  other,  ana 
the  learning  imparted  by  those  great  men 
who  stood  behind  the  books  has  been  re- 
tained to  this  day.  Their  contempt  for  all 
that  was  low  and  degradinp^,  their  sweet 
and  gentle  admonitions,  their  council  and 
advice,  have  continued  to  influence  our 
lives  and  mould  our  characters  to  this  dav. 
All  education,  in  the  final  analysis,  is  sdf 
education.  All  men  are  self  made,  whedier 
made  for  better  or  worse.  A  university  can 
at  best  merely  furnish  the  means  and  give 
an  opportunity  for  the  earnest  student  to 
prepare  for  the  work  of  life.  The  good 
teadier  is  the  wise  counsellor,  the  intelli- 
gent guide,  the  prophet  full  of  enthusiasm 
and  inspiration.  Such  were  our  great  in- 
structors. 

And  now  we  place  in  your  keepinp^  this 
our  class  memonal.  It  is  of  no  special  in- 
trinsic value.  Dear  to  us  as  something 
tan^ble  and  visible,  which  links  the  mem- 
ory of  the  class  of  '58  with  their  Alma 


Mater.  We  trust  that  the  needs  of  the 
University  will  never  require  your  board 
to  use  this  bit  of  the  Campus  for  any  par- 
pose  except  the  preservation  of  these  dass 
memorials.  For  more  than  a  quarter  of  a 
century  each  succeeding  graduating  dass 
of  the  Literary  Department  has  held  their 
class  day  exercises  under  the  Tappan  Oak. 
We  trust  that  the  custom  will  continue  and 
that  at  least  once  in  each  of  the  comiiig 
years,  in  the  pleasant  month  of  June,  the 
dass  of  1858  may  be  hdd  in  grateful  re- 
membrance by  all  true  and  lo^  students 
of  the  University  of  Michigan. 

ACCEPTANCE 
JUDGE  LOYAL  B.  KNAPPBN 

Gentlemen  of  the  Class  of  '58: 

The  Regents  of  the  University  accent 
with  pleasure  the  trust  you  impose.  It  is 
now  half  a  century  since  you  left  these 
halls.  During  the  years  you  were  here 
things  were  new.  The  University  was 
young,  and  had  shown  little  promise  of  the 
greatness  which  has  since  come  to  her.  But 
while  you  were  here  the  few  members  of 
the  Faculty,  and  above  all  Uiat  President 
who  so  deservedly  holds  your  love  and 
veneration,  were  laying  broad  and  deep  the 
foundations  which  alone  have  nude  possible 
the  structure  which  has  since,  year  by  year, 
been  built  It  was  a  fitting  and  beaiutiful 
act  that  when  you  went  from  here  each  to 
do  his  part  in  the  great  work  of  the  world, 
you  left  this  enduring  testimonial  of  tiie 
affection  and  honor  you  bore  to  your  great 
President,  to  whose  wise  counsels  both  ycm 
and  your  Alma  Mater  are  so  greatly  in- 
debted. For  fif^  years  you  have  played 
each  his  part  in  life,  and  always  with  credit 
to  yourselves  and  with  honor  to  the  Uni-

have  already  passed  to  the  life  beyond. 
Those  who  remain  have  nearly^  if  not  qoite^ 
all  reached  the  seventieth  nule  post  and 
are  nearing  the  point  where  it  may  be  per- 
mitted you  to  lay^  down  the  burden.  If 
your  original  dedication  of  this  memorial 
was  fitting  and  beautiful,  it  is  an  even  more 
beautiful  and  fitting  thing  that  at  this  time 
you  have  returned  here  to  renew  the  testi- 
mony of  your  love  and  veneration  for 
President  Tappan,  and  to  assure  the  pre-

THE  TAPPAH  MONUMENT 
DR.  JAMBS  B.  ANGBLL 

Though  without  any  warning  that  I 
should  De  honored  widi  an  invitation  to 
join  by  any  utterance  in  this  pleasant  cele- 
bration, I  am  glad  now  at  always  to  wel- 
come you  to  our  halls  and  to  pav  my  tribute 
to  your  great  President  and  Teacher,  Dr. 
Tappan.  I  delight  to  repeat  what  I  often 
say,  that  he  was  the  stateliest  figure  that 
ever  walked  these  grounds.  He  laid  the 
foundations  of  the  University,  as  we  know 
it,  deep  and  strong.  Whatever  wisdom  we, 
Us  successors,  have  shown  has  consisted 
in  following  the  lines  he  marked  out  This 
massive  boulder  is  a  fitting  type  of  his 
character  and  strength. 

Though  in  celebrating  this  semi-centen- 
nial of  your  graduation  you  are  receiving 
the  homage  of  the  younger  classes  as  if  you 
were  somewhat  venerable  with  years,  per- 
mit me  to  say  that  you  do  not  so  impress 
me  as  I  was  graduated  nine  years  earlier 
than  you,  and  taught  five  college  classes 
before  your  ^[raduation.  So  I  behold  in  you 
a  band  of  active  men  with  spirit  and  vitality 
enough  to  encourage  me  m  the  hope  of 
seeing  vou  contribute  to  the  inspiration  and 
jo3rs  of  many  coming  Commencements  as 
you  have  contributed  so  signally  to  our 
pleasure  at  this  anniversary. 

POEM,  BY  JOEL  MOODY 

Lay  the  roses  on  the  boulder 
For  the  day  has  dawned  at  last. 

And  the  golden  meeting  comes 
When  the  fifty  years  are  past. 


Call  the  roU  of  Tifty-Eigfat! 

And  let  us  answer  to  the  call; 
Skip  not  a  name  of  all  the  boys, 

We  were  forty-eight  in  alL 

Lay  the  roses  on  the  boulder 

'Neath  the  shadow  of  the  trees, 
Redolent  in  their  beauty 

And  kissed  by  every  breeze. 
Prom  Springtime  to  Uie  Autumn 

In  the  history  of  their  age, 
The/ve  blossomed  in  our  memory. 

And  sweetened  every  page. 

Lay  the  roses  on  the  boulder 

'Neath  the  branches  of  the  oak- 
Named  for  Tappan,  and  in  whose  name 

A  blessing  we  invoke. 
Name  revered  and  glorified 

For  counsels  wise  and  duhr  done— 
A  name  that  in  our  lives  doui  shine 

And  brighter  toward  the  setting  sun. 

Lay  the  roses  on  the  boulder, 

As  now  we  dedicate 
This  monument  of  our  love 

And  hand  it  to  the  state- 
In  care  of  Alma  Mater 

Glorious  in  her  charms, 
This  memorial  shall  rest 

Securely  in  her  arms. 

Lay  the  roses  on  the  boulder 

For  the  boys  who  are  not  here- 
Kind  remembrance  for  those  who  live, 

And  for  the  dead — ^a  tear. 
Thus  in  love  we  lay  the  roses 

In  memory  of  the  past. 
Which  in  the  shadow  of  our  years 

Doth  prophesy  the  Last. 


ALUMNI  DAY 


While  the  attendance  on  Alumni 
Day  was  not  as  large  apparently  as  it 
was  last  year,  twenty-two  classes  were 
nevertheless  represented,  a  larger 
number  than  ever  before,  and  the 
classes  that  did  hold  retmions  made  up 
by  the  completeness  of  their  pro- 
gram add  their  enthusiasm.  The 
meeting  of  the  G.  A.  R.  at  Detroit, 
the  RepubHcan  National  Conven- 
tion at  Chicago,  the  fact  that  most 
of  the  High  Schods  of  the  State  had 
not  closed  their  doors  for  the  summer 
together  with  the  small  attendance  at 
the  reunions  of  '98  and  '03,  doubtless 
accounted  for  the  slight  falling  off. 
The  total  number  in  attendance,  as 


shown  by  the  register  in  the  Alumni 
Room  was  537.  General  Joseph  Rowe 
Smith  of  the  Class  of  '48  represented 
the  earliest  dass,  and  G€K>rge  M. 
Lane,  surviving  member  of  the  Class 
^f  'S3>  was  the  only  representative  of 
his  dass  present

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[July 


Minnesota  beyond  the  reach  of  medical 
aid.  AU  the  others  followed  one  bj  one, 
until  the  last  to  leave  was  Mr.  Henry  M. 
Cheever,  a  well  known  attorney  of  Detr<Mt 
Among  others  auite  well  known  were  Jay 
A.  Hubbell,  of  Houghton,  Micfau,  for  many 
years  member  of  Congress  from  that  dis- 
trict; Judge  Jared  Patchin,  of  Detroit,  and 
Uzziel  Putnam,  of  Cass  county,  Mich.,  re* 
peatedly  a  member  of  the  state  legislature, 
including  House  and  Senate,  and  at  the 
time  of  liis  death  he  was  a  member  of  one 
of  our  state  commissions. 

A  retrospect,  running  back  for  more  than 
sixty  years,  brings  to  view  many  reminis- 
cences. In  June,  1846,  I  was  present  at  the 
graduation  exercises  of  the  class  of  that 
year,  the  second  class  to  leave  the  Univer- 
sity. The  faculty  then  numbered  only  three 
or  four,  I  think;  Professors  Williams  and 
Ten  Brook  I  recall.  Among  the  regents 
were  Rev.  George  DuflBcld,  D.D.,  of  De- 
troit; Bishop  McCoskrv,  of  the  Episcopal 
Diocese  of  Michigan;  Judge  Austin  Wing, 
of  Monro^  and  Major  Kearsley,  Receiver 
of  United  States  moneys  at  Detroit 

Ann  Arbor  was  then  a  small  town  and 
business  was  nearly  all  centered  about  the 
Court  House  Sauare.  Entering  the  village 
from  the  north  between  the  railroad  station 
and  the  Square,  almost  within  a  stone's 
throw  of  the  latter,  I  passed  a  farmer  in 
his  fields  ffathering  his  crop  of  wheat 
Eastward  the  University  Campus  was  a 
long  way  beyond  any  inhabited  part  of  the 
town.  Upon  the  Campus  all  the  work  of 
the  University  was  done  in  one  dormitory. 
The  latter  now  forms  the  north  wing  of 
the  auditorium.  In  that  single  structure 
were  the  chapel,  library,  all  the  class  rooms, 
and  the  apartments  occupied  by  the  stu- 
dents ;  for  at  that  time  and  for  many  subse- 
quent years  all  the  students  were  housed 
in  the  University  buildings. 

When  the  class  of  1853  commenced  their 
work  in  1849,  one  more  dormitory  had  been 
provided  for  occupancy  by  the  students  and 
nearly  all  of  the  latter  secured  rooms  in 
the  new  building.  With  the  beginning  of 
the  school  year  of  1852-3,  Chancellor  Tap- 
pan  commenced  his  work  in  the  University. 
That  signalized  the  renaissance  of  the  lat- 
ter. He  was  an  educator  with  no  superior 
for  such  aposition  in  the  country,  if  he  had 
a  peer.  The  evolution  of  the  college  into 
a  real  University  soon  began  to  be  appar- 
ent, and  his  enthusiasm  became  a  contagion 
in  the  lives  of  all  connected  with  the  insti- 
tution. With  him  the  interests  of  the  Uni- 
versity became  his  meat  and  his  drink.  I 
recall  that,  repeatedly,  when  he  appeared 
for  his  lecture  hour  before  the  senior  class, 
he  would  forget  for  the  time  the  daily 
course  and  devote  the  whole  hour  to  the 
presentation  of  his  ideals  and  purposes  for 
die  building  upon  the  Campus  ox  a  great 


University  like  those  of  Europe;  for  there 
was  then  no  real  University  in  this  country. 
Present  University  attainments  and  condi- 
tions only  form  the  materialization  of  these 
ideals  continually  pictured  and  detailed  as 
he  could  in  conversation  and  lectures  be- 
fore students  and  the  public  as  opportunity 
offered.  For  ten  years,  until  the  day  of  die 
great  disgrace,  in  season  and  out  of  season, 
this  work  of  education  and  laying  of  foun- 
dations was  continued  and  was  well  com- 
pleted. It  was  upon  such  a  foundation  that 
his  successor,  "the  second  great  President," 
and  the  able  men  associated  with  him  have 
so  faithfully  and  successfully  builded  and 
have  given  to  the  state  and  nation  an  in- 
stitution that  has  become  world  wide  in  its 
field  and  work.  Her  graduates,  numbered 
by  many  thousands  found  in  every  latitude, 
when  recalling  their  University  life,  will 
as  often  remember  with  gratitude  the 
names  and  the  work  of  Tappan  and  Angeli, 
and  those  associated  with  them  in  their 
labors  as  benefactors  of  their  day  ana  gen- 
eration. 

GflOEGS  M.  LANS,  Class  of  '53. 

At  the  reunion  of  '63  there  were  only  six 
present;  who  had  belonged  to  the  dass  at 
all  dunnff  its  four  years.  Those  members 
of  the  dass  who  graduated  with  it,  who 
were  present,  were :  Professor  S.  W.  Rob- 
inson, who  lives  at  Columbus,  Ohio,  Dr. 
James  L.  Taylor,  of  Vinita,  Oklahoma, 
Elisha  Prazer  and  Levi  L.  Barbour,  of 
Detroit 

Theodore  Smith  Nichols,  who  lived  in 
Ann  Arbor,  was  with  the  class  during  the 
freshman  and  sophomore  yearai,  and  David 
Boyd  was  with  the  class  until  its  sem'or 
year,— during  the  vacation  previous  he  en- 
listed, and  graduated  with  a  subsequent 
class. 

Letters  were  recdved  from  Dr.  William 
S.  Harroun,  of  Santa  Pe,  New  Mexico,  and 
Dr.  Henry  M.  Hurd,  of  the  Johns  Hopkins 
Hospital,  Baltimore,  Md.,  and  Judge  Con- 
way W.  Noble,  of  Cleveland,  Ohio,  regret- 
ting that  they  cotdd  not  be  present  Let- 
ters were  sent  to  all  the  other  members  of 
the  dass,  so  far  as  thdr  residences  coold 
be  ascertained,  but  no  replies  were  received. 

We  could  not  ascertam  the  residence  of 
Mr.  I.  C.  Ambrose.  Those  i>resent  had  a 
very  enjoyable  time  over  reminiscences  be- 
fore graduation  and  detailing  personal  his- 
tories since  that  event 

It  was  very  much  regretted  that  more 
were  not  present  or  accounted  for,  and  it 
was  sincerely  hoped  and  expected  that  at 
the  reunion  m  1913,  being  the  fiftieth  yeai; 
that  every  living  soul  who  had  ever  had 
any  connection  with  the  dass  would  be 
present  htn  L.  Basboui.

One  of  the  delightful  reunions  held  on 
Alumni  Day  was  that  of  the  Class  of  '68. 
The  day  was  spent  very  pleasantly  by 
the  members  of  the  class  in  visiting  the 
old  places  on  the  Campus  and  in  observing 
the  marked  changes  which  forty  years  had 
brought  about.  Fourteen  members  of  the

wives  and  other  members  of  their  families, 
enjoyed  every  moment

'73 

Among  the  many  class  reunions  held  on

was  held  at  the  Michigan  Union,  and  was

versary will  be  a  record  breaker. 

Wm.  M.  Casrier,  Secy. 

The  following  members  of  the  law  class

(Memo.:  At  this  point  each  member 
present  put  $2.00  into  the  Secretary's  hands 
for  printing  these  minutes  which,  added  to 
the  above  balance,  left  $16.83  in  the  Secre- 
tary's hands.) 

All  things  considered,  we  should  feel  en- 
couraged since  the  letters  before  me  indi- 
cate that  out  of  74  classmates  of  the  123 
who  ^aduated  in  March,  1873,  known  to 
be  living,  60  are  present  either  in  body  or 
spirit;  and  Faith  assures  us  that  the  benign 
spirits  of  those  who  have  gone  before  hover 
over,  around,  and  join  with  us  on  the  pres- 
ent occasion. 

So  far  as  your  Secretary  is  aware,  each 
one  of  the  74  living  has  every  reason  to 
expect  to  be  able  to  attend  the  fortieth 
anniversary  of  our  graduation.  The  ex- 
perience of  these  reunions,  the  third  of 
which  is  now  being  held,  convinces  me  that 
the  time  of  the  yeai-  is  inopportune.  With 
not  more  than  half  a  dozen  exceptions,  the 
74  remaining  members  of  the  Law  Class 
ot  1873  are  in  active  practice,  some  of  them 
sitting  as  judges  and  others  pleading  at  the 
bar.  The  month  of  June  is  universally  one 
during  which  courts  are  extremely  busy 
closing  up  the  work  of  the  jrear  preparing 
for  the  summer  vacation.  It  is,  of  course, 
eminently  proper  that  we  should  meet  at 
our  reunions  with  the  other  classes  upon 
the  day  set  by  the  University  authorities; 
but  I  believe  that  if  the  class  would  con- 
sider the  proposition  of  holding  its  next 
quinquennial  reunion  later  in  the  year,  dur- 
ing the  vacation  season,  and  perhaps  in 
Detroit — always  a  summer  resort  town — 
many  who  could  not  be  with  us  in  June 
could  theiL  The  opportunities  of  enter- 
tainment and  enjoyment  would  be  far  great- 
er. Of  course  we  would  not  miss  a  visit 
to  dear  old  Ann  Arbor,  the  dty  of  our 
beloved  Alma  Mater,  and  the  scene  where 
our  eaiiiest  ambitions  were  formed  and  our 
first  ideals  created. 

Your  Secretary  has  prepared  a  list  of  the 
addresses  of  living  members  by  states 
which,  if  it  be  the  desire  of  this  meeting, 
he  will  print  in  connection  with  Ae  minutes 
and  send  to  every  men^r.  In  the  course 
of  your  travels  during  the  next  fire  years 


you  can  use  this  as  a  visiting  'list  as  you 
have  op]>ortunity ;  and  also  as  you  have 
opportunity  you  may  be  able  to  learn  some- 
thing of  Uiose  of  whom  we  now  know 
nothing.  If  so,  please  communicate  the 
intelligence  to  your  Secretary  who  will  be 
glad  in  turn  to  furnish  all  the  class  with  it 

Above  all,  keep  your  Secretary  posted 
respecting  any  change  of  address  to  the 
end  that  we  may  all  keep  together  for  the 
next  reunion  five  years  hence  when  possibly 
we  may  know  more  of  our  dear  classmates 
who  are  not  included  in  this  list  of  74  liv- 
ing members. 

Greetings  were  then  read  from  60  mem- 
bers of  the  class  who  were  not  present  and 
the  Secretary  was  instructed  to  print  salient 
excerpts  from  them  in  connection  with  the 
minutes  of  the  present  reunion  for  the  bene- 
fit of  the  whole  class. 

During  the  reading  of  the  greetings  the 
class  hdd  an  intermission  for  lunch.  By 
chance  the  class  of  1873  were  assigned  a 
table  at  the  Cook  House  near  where  16 
members  of  the  Law  Class  of  1903  were 
enjoying  their  reunion  dinner.  Greetings 
were  exchanged  and  the  thirty  years  young- 
er dass  rose  to  its  feet  and  gracefully  and 
respectfully  saluted  the  venerable  fellow 
alumni.  Those  of  1873  who  had  come  from 
far  Nebraska  dedared  this  incident  alone 
worthy  the  expense  and  tedium  of  the 
whole  trip. 

The  class  having  re-gathered  at  2  p.  nu, 
the  reading  of  the  greetings  was  concluded. 

The  Secretary  then  presented  the  class 
with  a  vertical  file  containing  a  folder  for 
each  member  in  which  the  correspondence 
of  previous  meetings,  data,  newspaper  no- 
tices, photographs,  etc.,  had  been  system- 
atically arranged. 

A  vote  of  thanks  to  the  Secretary  was 
unanimously  passed. 

On  motion  of  Gassmate  Parrar,  the 
President  was  instructed,  in  the  event  of 
the  death  of  the  Secretary,  to  take  posses- 
sion of  these  valuable  archives  and  appoint 
thdr  future  custodian  subject  to  the  action 
of  the  next  subsequent  reunion. 

The  matter  of  meeting  five  years  hence 
was  next  considered.  Classmate  Windham 
stated  he  had  stopped  over  at  Chicago  and 
called  upon  all  but  one  of  the  six  members 
practicing  law  there,  every  one  of  whom 
would  be  present  but  for  court  engage- 
ments which  prevented. 

The  Secretary  reported  two  members  at- 
tending the  Republican  National  Conven- 
tion at  Chicago  absent  on  that  account. 

The  President  extended  an  invitation  to 
members  of  the  class  to  be  his  guests  at 
dinner  if  the  next  reunion  was  held  in 
Detroit,  and  the  Secretary  announced  his 
intention  to  also  take  a  hand  in  the  enter- 
taining of  those  present  in  such  event

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


IM 


In  view  of  these  reports  and  the  general 
tenor  of  the  reasons  given  by  other  class- 
mates who  had  sent  greetings  why  they 
could  not  attend,  much  as  they  would  like 
to,  the  following  resolution  was  ad<^ted: 

Resolved,  That  the  President  and  Secre- 
tary be  authorized  to  call  the  next  reunion 
for  Detroit  upon  such  date  as  may  seem 
most  convenient  for  the  largest  number  of 
classmates,  after  a  canvass  by  letter. 

The  time,  4  o'clock,  having  arrived,  the 
members  attended  the  laying  of  the  comer 
stone  of  the  new  Memorial  Building  in  a 
body  and  afterwards  separated,  each  feel- 
ing the  most  pleasant  reunion  of  all  yet 
held  had  closed  and  each  resolved  to  attend 
the  next  one  five  years  hence  in  celebration 
of  the  fortieth  anniversary  of  the  gradua- 
tion of  the  Michigan  University  Law  Class 
of  1873.

Chabus  M.  WooMtupp,  Secy. 

'78 

The  number  present  at  the  reunion  of  '78 
was  smaller  than  expected,  a  number  of 
unfortunate  contingencies  keeping  many 
members  away.  Those  present  had  a  most 
enjoyable  time,  meeting  at  Room  17  in  the 
morning  and  attending  the  general  alumni 
meeting  and  the  laying  of  the  comer  stone 
of  the  Memorial  Building  in  the  aftemoon. 
In  the  evening  the  class  held  a  banquet  at 
the  Michigan  Union,  at  which  messages 
were  read  from  many  absent  classmates, 
including  Horton  who  wrote  from  old 
Athens,  in  Greece  (where  he  is  U.  S.  Con- 
sul), to  his  classmates  gathered  in  the 
Athens  of  the  West  Another  came  from 
Miss  Annie  S.  Peck  who  is  again  just  about 
to  attempt  the  climbing  of  the  highest  South 
American  mountain  peak.  To  her,  a  mes- 
sage wishing  fullest  success  was  sent 
Those  present  were  Professor  Jeremiah  W. 
Jenks  of  Comell  University,  the  dass  pres- 
ident and  wife,  Professor  W.  H.  Butts, 
Asst.  Dean  of  the  Engineering  Department 
of  the  Univcrsiy  and  wife,  Chas.  E.  Gar- 
ner, and  wife  of  Lansing,  Seymour  T. 
Morse,  and  wife  of  Ann  Arbor,  Wm.  V. 
Moore,  Jas.  T.  Shaw  and  Ross  Wilkins  of 
Detroit,  Lee  Jenks  of  Port  Huron,  and  the 
secretary,  G.  F.  Allmendinger  of  Ann 
Arbor. 

The  old  officers  were  re-elected  and  the 
determination  expressed  to  have  another 
reunion  in  five  years,  with  a  strong  effort 
to  get  out  all  living  members. 

During  the  past  five  years,  five  members 
of  the  class,  Miss  Townsend,  Miss  Swift 
(Lathers),  Beecher,  Au^r,  Perrine,  have 
all  finished  their  course  m  this  life.

Twenty-two  members  of  the  dass  ban- 
queted at  Mack's  Cafe  at  i  p.  m.  It  wis 
unanimously  voted  to  meet  again  in  1813 
and  each  member  promised  to  do  some- 
thing during  the  next  five  years  toward 
securing  a  larger  attendance  at  our  thir- 
tieth anniversary. 

The  class  met  in  Room  19,  University 
Hall,  at  II  a.  m.,  and  after  hand  shaking 
and  visiting,  the  members  of  the  class 
marched  out  to  the  Campus  and  had  a 
group  picture  taken.  After  the  "looking 
pretty"  into  the  camera's  mouth,  the  dass 
disbanded  until  i  p.  m.  when  all  reassem- 
bled at  Mack's  and  spent  two  and  a  half 
hours  banqueting  and  relating  stories  of 
college  days.  John  T.  Winship,  Saginaw, 
Mich.,  was  elected  reunion  dass  president, 
and  F.  W.  Arbury,  Forest  Apts.,  Detroit, 
Mich.,  was  dected  reunion  class  secretary.

The  medical  reunion  of  the  Michigan 
alumni  at  the  Grand  Pacific  Hotd,  Chicago, 
upon  the  evening  of  June  2,  was  a  grand 
success.  The  dass  of  %3  managed  to  gather

bers: Siggins,  Mayo,  Courtney,  Allaben,

and  Marsh.  A  royal  visit  was  enjpyed,  aD 
too  short  owing  to  the  rush  and  bustle  w 
the  A.  M.  A.  convention  which  engrossed 
everyone's  attention. 

The  secretary  received  letters  of  regret 
from  the  following  dassmates  at  their  in- 
ability to  attend :    Coulter,  Corcoran,  Wu-

'83I 

The  law  class  of  ^83  held  their  reunion  on 
short  notice,  but  eight  responded  to  roll 
call  while  numerous  letters  were  received 
from  others  promising  to  be  present  next 
year  if  a  reunion  was  fixed  for  that  date. 
Those  present  were:  Samuel  C.  Blake, 
Cleveland,  Ohio;  W.  R.  Clarke,  Grand 
Ledge,  Mich.;  Edgar  H.  Eckert,  Toledo, 
Ohio;  John  S.  Evans,  Coldwater,  Mich.;

W.  Hannan,  Detroit,  Mich.;  Leman  A.

Samuel  C.  Blake  was  elected  president 
and  S.  W.  Beakes,  secretary.  This  is  the 
old  senior  class  organization.  Messrs. 
Clarke,  Eckert  and  O'Connor  were  elected 
vice-presidents  and  it  was  decided  to  hold 
a  reunion  next  year  and  to  make  a  great 
effort  to  get  all  present.  An  assessment  of 
$1  was  levied  on  each  member  to  pay  pre- 
liminary expenses.  The  class  drove  over 
the  city  and  looked  up  all  the  old  points  of 
interest  and  spent  an  enjoyable  day  in  each 
other's  company.  S.  W.  BbakSs.

came  to  attend  the  reunion  and  those  mem-

St.  Joseph,  Mo. ;  E.  M.  Sprague,  contractor. 


Cleveland,  O.;  O.  G.  Frederick,  assistant 
superintendent  of  schools,  Detroit;  H.  Kirk 
White,  editor,  Owosso,  Mich. ;  P.  M.  Hick- 
ey,  physician,  Detroit;  W.  A.  Grace,  mer- 
chant, Kansas  City,  Mo.;  Frank  M.  Sen- 
sions,  insurance,  Detroit;  Paul  V.  Perry, 
newspaper  writer,  Chicago;  Elizabeth  Clark 
Payne,  Ann  Arbor;  Sarah  E.  Whitely 
Moore,  Detroit;  Gertrude  T.  Breed,  teach- 
er, Ann  Arbor;  Ross  G.  Cole,  Director 
Dept  of  Music,  University  of  Wisconsin, 
Madison,  Wis.;  Mrs.  Elsie  Jones  Cooley, 
Ann  Arbor;  John  L.  Duffy,  attorney,  Ann 
Arbor;  Carrie  Britten,  teacher,  Jackson, 
Mich. 

Mr.  Ross  G.  Cole  was  unexpectedly  de- 
tained and  did  not  arrive  until  the  day 
following  the  reunion.  Mr.  John  L.  Duffy 
was  unavoidably  absent,  having  been  called 
to  Detroit  to  attend  to  some  legal  business 
which  could  not  be  postponed. 

Wednesday  morning  the  old  boys  and 
girls  met  in  the  Latin  room  and  had  a  roll 
call.  They  did  not  look  a  single  day  older 
than  when  they  received  their  diplomas 
twenty  years  ago.  All  the  absent  ones  were 
spoken  of;  the  whereabouts  and  success  in 
life  of  those  not  present  was  given  as  far 
as  possible  by  those  present.  Letters  of 
regret  from  a  considerable  number  who 
were  unable  to  be  present  were  read  and 
an  election  of  officers  was  held,  resulting  in 
the  choice  of  Percy  Richardson,  president; 
Selby  A.  Moran,  secretary;  and  Solomon 
Eisenstaedt,  treasurer.  It  was  decided  to 
hold  the  next  reunion  in  ipi3  to  celebrate 
the  quarter-centennial  anniversary  of  the 
class. 

Paul  Perry  then  proposed  that  we  adopt 
a  class  yell,  and  suggested  that  the  one 
arranged  by  the  members  of  '88  at  the 
Alumni  reunion  in  Chicago  recently,  would 
be  a  ^ood  one  after  being  slightly  modified, 
to  suit  the  occasion.  The  yell  as  adopted 
was  as  follows: 

Eighty-eight  I    Eighty-eight ! 

Twenty  years!  Up  to  date! 

One  more  shout!    One  more  smite! 

We've  been  right  for— an  awful  long  while ! 

The  last  four  words  are  a  slight  revision 
of  the  Chicago  version.  The  class  Uien  ad- 
journed to  the  Barbour  Gymnasium  where 
the  Ann  Arbor  members  of  the  Colle^ate 
Aunmae  served  a  breakfast  to  all  visiting 
alumni.  On  the  way  to  the  Gymnasium 
various  buildings  were  visited,  including  the 
Chemical  Laboratory,  the  new  M^ical 
Building  and  others,  and  the  class  yell,  with 
the  old  '88  vigor,  plus  twenty  years  of  add- 
ed strength,  was  given  to  the  immense 
amusement  of  the  natives. 

At  Barbour  Gymnasium,  in  the  midst  of 
hundreds  of  "old  grads"  representing  scores 
of  different  classes  from  '53  down,  the  yell

The  members  then  sefMirated,  some  going

exerases  at  the  lajring  of  the  comer  stone 
of  the  Memorial  Building  on  the  southwest 
comer  of  the  Campus.  At  6  o'clock  the 
class  banquet  was  served  at  Mrs.  Motley's. 

euite  a  few  of  the  members  of  '88  had 
warded  with  Mrs.  Motley  some  twenty 
years  ago.  Mrs.  Motley  has  become  a  "past 
master"  at  serving  elegant  banquets.  She 
did  herself  great  credit  on  this  particular 
occasion. 

One  of  the  interesting  incidents  at  the 
banquet  was  a  census  taken  by  our  worthy 
president  showing  the  number  of  children 
m  die  families  of  the  thirty  members  pres- 
ent It  was  found  that  the  number  of  chil- 
dren in  each  family  averaged  one  and  seven- 
tenths.  Percy  Richardson,  responding  to 
the  inauiry  as  to  the  number  of  his  children 
replied  "nine"  (nein)  which  elicited  a  roar 
of  applause  for  it  is  well  known  that  Percy 
has  not  yet  found  his  affinity.  But  he  says 
he  is  still  living  in  hopes.

"After  you  leave  these  halls,  persevere  in 
study  so  that  the  torch  kindled  each  day 
mav  light  vou  on  to  further  attainments. 
Cultivate  the  spirit  of  courtesy,  that  the 
wishes  of  ten  thousand  friends  may  ever 
be  wafting  you  on  your  course.  Cherish 
your  highest  vigor  and  elasticity  of  mind 
and  of  soul,  so  that  your  life  may  yield 
its  largest  and  richest  traitage,  even  to  the 
end." 

With  these  baccalaureate  sentences  Pres- 
ident Angell  launched  on  its  course  the 
Class  of  1893,  with  its  731  members  from 
all  Departments,  up  to  that  date  America's 
largest  graduating  class,  including  the  226 
members  from  the    Literary    D^rtment, 


known  and  united  as  the  "Class  of  1893." 

Durinf  Commencement  week  '93  re- 
turned for  its  Quindecennial,  and  in  en- 
thusiasm and  merriment  its  reunion  was 
one  of  the  features  of  the  week. 

Since  graduation,  'gj  has  lost  the  follow- 
ing members:  Lucy  Sadie  Andrews,  died 
Feb.  7»  1894;  Edith  May  Orr,  died  Dec  21,

died  Aug.  27,  1902;  Samuel  Smith  Harris, 
died  May  a3,  1^06, 

The  Decennial  roster  showed  sixty-one 
members  present,  by  an  odd  coincidence 
exactly  equalling  the  registration  of  die 
Triennial,  being  twenty-seven  per  cent  of 
the  living  members. 

The  roster  of  the  Quindecennial  was 
forty-nine  or  twenty-two  per  cent  of  the 
living  members,  which  number  was  furtiier 
increased  at  the  Quindecennial  Dinner  bj 
the  presence  of  '93  wives  and  husbands, 
making  the  Dinner  attendance  sixty-three.

and  lo3ralty  not  surpassed  at  Midiigan.

Dr.  David  P.  Mayhew,  absent  for  die 
first  time,  sent  this  greeting  from  Colorado 
Springs : 

Here,  where  the  elm  trees  rustle  and  sway 
And  the  oaks  stand  sturdy  and  tall. 

We  came  (as  ye  know)  to  work  and  play. 
To  learn  what  we  might  of  the  All. 

And  whatever  we  learned  of  the  Universe, 
Of  its  changeless  ways  and  its  ends. 

We  learned  (what  is  more  than  all  the  rest) 
The  hearts  of  our  dearest  friends. 

Though  little  we   knew  of  the  worth  of 
things 

Outside  in  the  world's  turmoil, 
That  thing  we  gained  in  thesepleasant  paths 

That  lead  to  the  Trails  of  ToiL 

The  Trails  of  Toil  that  traverse  the  world. 

Wherein  our  feet  must  tread. 
Wherever  they  lead  are  trodden  deep 

By  the  feet  of  those  ahead. 

And  whether  they  lead  through  pleasant 
ways 

In  a  flower-hung  summer  land. 
Or  thread  the  blind  sun-parched  maze 

Of  the  pitiless  desert  sand. 

The  dust  floats  up  from  them  every  one 
To  whiten  the  beard  and  hair, 

To  cover  the  red  youth-bloom  of  the  cheek 
With  the  gray  of  the  old  world-care. 

Yet  every  trail  of  them  all  is  wide 

So  two  may  walk  hip  to  hip; 
And  none  of  us  recks  what  may  betide. 

If  he  have  companionship. 

And  here,  where  the  elm  trees  rustle  and 
sway, 

Where  the  bells  in  the  tower  toll. 
We  learned  to  use  a  wonderful  thing: 

The  Wireless  of  the  Soul. 

A  wonderful  thing;  it  lets  us  feel. 
Though  the  Trail  he  treads  be  far. 

That  the  soul  of  our  friend  doth  cleave  to 
ours 
As  a  star  to  another  star. 

For  'cross  the  Space  of  the  Infinite 
Each  changes  the  other's  course. 

So  our  souls  work  their  chan^  on  his 
And  gain  somewhat  from  his  force. 

We  meet  and  we  pass  and  we  go  our  ways. 
As  our  Trail  of  Toil  may  lead, 

We  hail,  strike  hands  midst  the  rush  of 
days, 
And  gain  new  strength  for  our  need. 

So,  if  perchance,  when  the  Trails  of  Toil 

Divergent,  lead  us  where 
We're  out  of  sight  of  another  friend. 

And  the  world  seems  empty  and  bare.

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


[July 


There  comes  on  a  sudden  a  little  thrill, 
And  the  pulse  begins  to  drum. 

And  we  see  the  face  of  a  friend— fear  not. 
It's  a  Wireless  Message  come. 

The  faces  we  see  wear  always  a  smile. 

There's  a  laugh  in  the  voices  we  hear. 
The  messages  always  are  cheerful  ones. 

Without  a  hint  of  a  tear. 

So,  friends,  though  Fm  far  on  a  Trail  of 
Toil, 

When  I  would  be  here  with  jre, 
If  ye  thrill  a  bit  when  these  lines  are  read — 

It's  a  Wireless  from  me. 

Following  the  Dinner  the  Class  attended 
the  Senior  Reception,  in  military  order,  and 
with  songs  and  cheers  justified  its  Quinde- 
cennial  verse: 
"We're  older  than  some,  and  yet  younger 

than  others, 
Whom  our  Alma  Mater  delights  here  to  see. 
But  in  our  Reunions,  united  like  brothers, 
*Pa'   Finney  could    tell    you,    none     beat 
Ninety-tfiree. 

Yes,  they  will  all  tell  you. 
From  Regent  to  Freshman, 
The  Class,  ne'er  yet  beaten. 
Is  old  Ninety-three. 
Our  old   Ninety-Three,    the    Class    never 

beaten. 
How  dear  are  the  tie»  which  unite  us  to 
thee!" 

Attending  all  the  events  of  Commence- 
ment Day  good-byes  were  said  at  the  Com- 
mencement Dinner,  with  binding  promises 
to  return  in  1913  to  prove  again  what  no 
one  attending  the  1908  Commencement  will 
deny: 
"Our  voices  are  as  strong  today,  hurrah, 

hurrah. 
As  when  we  bore  our  'dips'  away,  hurrah, 
hurrah. 

And  though  the  years  behind  us  climb, 
To  show  contempt  for  Father  Time, 
We'll  all  yell,  yell,  yeU  all  over  the  bloom- 
ing place. 

Roo!  Rah!  Rool 
Root  Rah!  Ree! 
Michigan !   Michigan ! 
Ninety-Three ! 
Wah!   Hoo!   Wah! 
Wah!   Hoo!  Wah! 
'93  Banner  Class! 
Wah!   Hoo!   Wah!

Classmate,  Gerritt  Albers,  of  Heme, 
Texas,  was  requested  to  get  out  a  new  edi- 
tion of  the  *^  law  directory.  Albers  had 
advised  President  Sands  that  he  would  be 
willing  to  do  this  if  desired  by  the  class. 
It  was  suggested  that  in  order  to  help  defer

members  of  the  class. 

All  members  were  requested  to  advise

Gordon  repored  that  he  had  been  stic- 
cessful  in  practice,  was  married  and  had 
two  children.  He  fdt  that  each  year  in-

ticed  law  at  all  but  had  engaged  in  mercan- 
tile business  at  Streator,  Illinois,  where  his 
law  course  had  proven  to  be  a  very  valuable 
adjunct  to  his  business. 

Judge  Gardner  reported  he  was  Judge  of 
Probate  at  Lansing,  Michigan,  at  the  pres- 
ent time  and  that  he  had  recently  met  Eva 
Akers,  a  member  of  the  class,  who  is  now 
married  to  a  farmer  living  near  Lansing, 
Michigan,  owning  several  farms.  She  has 
two  children  and  is  not  practicing  law. 
Judge  Gardner  also  reported  that  Class- 
mate Wm.  T.  Webb  came  from  Detroit  to 
Williamston,  Michigan,  where  he  married 
and  now  has  one  daughter.  He  is  now 
practicing  in  Williamston  and  is  doing  well. 
Judge  Gardner  also  reported  that  Simon 
B.  Rowe  first  went  to  Charlevoix,  then 
moved  to  Lansing,  where  he  is  now  doing 
well.  He  was  elected  Municipal  Court 
Justice,  but  has  now  returned  to  the  prac- 
tice of  law. 

Maresh  reported  he  had  had  a  fair  suc- 
cess from  the  beginning,  that  he  is  now  a 
Justice  of  the  Peace  and  has  been  for  three 
years.  He  suggested  that  a  committee  be 
appointed  to  stir  up  the  members  and  have 
a  larger  reunion  next  time. 

Sands  said  that  he  thought  all  the  fel- 
lows should  come  without  urging,  but  that 
he  believed  it  was  a  good  idea  to  stir  up 
more  enthusiasm  for  the  retmion  and  be- 
lieved the  next  reunion  would  be  a  very 
large  and  enthusiastic  one. 

Baldwin  reported  he  had  very  pleasant 
reminiscences  of  college;  was  a  one  year 
man  and  did  not  know  the  boys  so  weU  as 
other  members  of  the  dass.  He  is  now 
a  candidate  for  State  Senator  in  Pennsyl- 
vania and  expects  to  be  elected.  He  is 
Chairman  of  the  Republican  County  Com- 
mittee, is  Postmaster  and  Mayor  of  his 
home  town. 

Spumey  indulged  in  reminiscences  of  his 
baseball  experiences  in  college  and  told 
several  stories  of  the  team's  trips  around 
the  country ;  said  he  couldn't  plav  ball  now. 

Crawford  reported  that  he  had  been  back 
to  Ann  Arbor  to  see  the  Pennsylvania 
game  last  fall,  but  that  it  made  him  home- 
sick to  find  none  of  the  old  boys  there.  He 
is  still  at  Omaha  doing  well;  has  been 
married  since  the  last  reunion  to  a  grad- 
uate of  Vassar;  has  no  children. 

President  Sands  said  that  McReynolds 
had  taken  a  very  great  and  enthusiastic 
interest  in  the  dass,  had  spent  a  good  deal 
of  time  and  money  in  looking  up  members 
of  the  dass  whose  addresses  were  unknown, 
and  suggested  three  cheers  for  McReynolds, 
which  were  heartily  given. 

On  motion  of  Crawford  a  nominating 
committee  consisting  of  Gordon,  Campbdl 
and  Crawford  were  appointed  to  prepare 
the  slate  of  oflkes. 


On  motion  of  Friedman,  seconded  by 
Gibson,  the  next  reunion  was  ordered  held 
in  19 10.  Purcell  moved  that  the  wives  be 
espedally  invited  to  attend  the  next  re- 
union. This  was  unanimously  carried  and 
all  members  were  urged  to  bring  their 
wives  the  next  time. 

Nominating  conunittee  reported  names  of 
suggested  officers  as  follows:  President, 
McReynolds;  vice-president,  Bickley;  sec- 
retary, Jones;  treasurer.  Palmer.  This 
ticket  was  unanimously  elected. 

Pink  reported  that  he  was  practicing  law 
in  Detroit  and  was  getting  alon^  well  and 
advised  all  the  boys  to  get  married  if  they 
weren't  already. 

Koenig  reported  he  was  engaged  in  the 
practice  of  law  and  in  the  promotion  of 
traction  systems;  had  a  successful  company 
operating  near  St  Marys. 

Class  adjourned,  giving  the  dass  yell: 
Boomerlacker !    Boomerlacker ! 

Boom,  boom,  ba-at 
Michigan !    Michigan ! 
'93  Law!

N.  D. ;  Fred  H.  Harris,  Kinderhook,  Mich. ; 
A.  F.  Stricklcr,  Sleepy  Eye,  Minn.;  C.  J. 
Combs  and  wife,  Oshkosh,  Wis. ;  S.  S.  L^ 
Opechee,  Mich.;  Lydia  M.  DeWitt,  Ann 
Arbor;  W.  J.  Little,  St  Paul,  Minn.;  Grace

Vander  Veen,  Grand  Rapids,  Mich.;  J.  W. 
Parker,  Grand  Blanc,  Mich.;  N.  F.  Mc-

wife.  South  Sharon,  Pa.;  Carrie  Coleman 
Burr,  Ann  Arbor;  G.  M.  Livingston,  Man- 
istique,  Mich. 

The  informal  meeting  at  10  a.  m.  in  front 
of  the  old  Medical  Building  was  a  time  of 
general  hand-shaking,  greatly  enjoyed  by 
all.  After  the  class  picture  by  Rentschler, 
a  visit  was  paid  to  the  new  Medical  Build- 
ing where  we  were  kindly  shown  around 
by  Dr.  DeWitt.  Then  all  proceeded  to 
alumni  headquarters  for  registration. 

The  noon  lunch  at  "Tuf  s"  was  not  the 
least  enjoyable  event  of  the  day,  for  the 
boys.  At  2  p.  m.  a  tally-ho  ride  began, 
and  Ferry  Field  was  the  first  place  to  claim 
our  attention.  Other  calls  were  made  as 
follows:  Dr.  A.  S.  Warthin,  Dr.  Lombard, 
University  Hospital,  Dr.  DeWitt,  Psycho- 
pathic Ward  and  "Professors*  Addition." 
The  banquet  held  at  the  Michigan  Union 
was  the  event  of  the  day  lon^  to  be  re- 
membered. Genial  Fred  Hams  acted  as 
toastmaster  and  all  present,  including  wives 
of  alumni,  were  called  on  to  respond.  The 
occasion  was  voted  a  great  success  and  it 
was  unanimously  resolved  to  meet  again 
on  Alumni  Day,  1913.

'98I 

The  '98  Law  class  held  its  first  official 
reunion  this  year.  The  class  was  called  to- 
gether by  Attorney  Carl  Storm,  of  Ann 
Arbor,  with  the  assistance  of  several  of  the 
class.    The  following  were  present: 

Earl  B.  Adams,  Decatur,  Ind. ;  Elisha  A. 
Baker,  Elkhart,  Ind.;  Edwin  S.  Bartlett, 
Detroit;  Henry  H.  Bodenstab,  Milwaukee, 
Wis.;  Grace  H.  Carleton,  Ann  Arbor; 
George  C.  Finfrock,  Chicago;  Eugene  L. 
Geismer,  Cleveland,  O.;  Fred  W.  Green, 
Ionia,  Mich.;  Otis  Huff,  Marcellus,  Mich.; 
Edward  F.  Irwin,  Springfield,  111.;  Her- 
bert A.  Moore,  Petoskey,  Mich. ;  Charles  J. 
O'Connor,  Chicago;  Walter  E.  Oxtoby, 
Detroit;  Earl  Peters,  Clarinda,  la.;  Harry 
F.  Salot,  Dubuque,  la. ;  Truman  W.  Shields, 
Kankakee,  111.;  Cari  T.  Storm,  Ann  Arbor; 
Charles  E.  Theobald,  Pittsburg,  Pa.;  George 
H.  Wilkes,  Florence,  Colo. 

It  was  not  a  large  assembly,  but  the 
quality  and  spirit  were  not  wanting.  Judge 
Wilkes  was  the  first  to  announce  his  ar- 
rival, and  among  the  last  to  depart  There 
was  no  especial  program,  but  several  meet- 


ings were  held  and  old  times  talked  over. 
The  first  meeting  was  on  the  morning  of 
the  16th,  at  which  time  a  picture  of  die 
class  was  taken  by  Judge  Wilkes.  In  the 
afternoon  the  class  enjoyed  a  tally-ho  ride 
to  Whitmore  Lake,  with  a  sail  on  the  lake 
under  the  guiding  hand  of  Gene  Geismer. 
Supper  was  taken  at  the  Lake  House,  with 
the  drive  home  before  dark,  in  order  to 
assemble  again  at  9  o'clock  at  die  Law 
Building.  From  this  assembly  the  class  ad- 
journed for  a  smoker,  where  arrangements 
were  made  for  a  big  reunion  five  years 
from  now.  The  present  secretary  was  re- 
elected with  the  following  assistants  and 
apportionment:  W.  E.  Oxtoby,  for  Michi- 
gan; Charles  E.  Theobald,  Pennsylvania 
and  Ohio;  R.  L.  Weaver,  New  York  and 
the  East;  Charles  O'Connor,  Illinois  and 
Indiana;  Earl  R.  Peters,  Iowa,  Missouri, 
Kansas,  and  Nebraska;  George  H.  Wilkes, 
Western  states. 

On  Wednesday,  the  17th,  another  meet- 
ing was  held  at  the  Law  Building;  the 
building  was  inspected  and  found  thor- 
oughly suitable  for  freshmen  and  others, 
and  some  of  the  ''old"  professors  found  and 
old  acquaintances  renewed.  The  '98  yell 
was  given  for  several  of  the  "Profs"  in 
such  a  spirit  as  to  prove  that  ''Tommy's 
animal  spirit"  still  lives.  In  the  afternoon 
some  of  the  class  took  in  a  ball  game  at 
Detroit  while  others  went  over  the  old 
haunts  of  bygone  days. 

Thursday  some  attended  Graduation  Ex- 
ercises, and  at  noon  enjoyed  Commenne- 
ment  dinner  in  Waterman  Gymnasium. 

That  evening  saw  the  last  handshakes 
and  goodbyes,  with  nothing  left  to  tell  die 
tale  of  the  '58  Laws  but  the  memories  of 
of  the  occasion. 

In  all,  it  was  a  happy  time ;  not  as  largely 
attended  as  had  been  expected  from  the 
tone  of  the  correspondence  received  by  the 
secretary,  but  with  more  than  full  payment 
for  the  effort,  and  with  every  indication  of 
a  greater  reunion  five  years  hence. 

Cam,  Storm,  Secy. 

The  first  reunion  of  the  1903  literary  and 
engineering  classes  was  held  June  17th.  A 
business  meeting  took  place  at  ten  o'clock 
in  Room  21,  University  Hall.  President 
Mark  Foote  read  two  letters,  one  from 
Miss  Nellie  Hamilton  and  one  from  Mr. 
Thurlow  Coon.  Miss  Hamilton,  who  is 
spending  the  year  abroad,  handed  in  her 
resi^ation  as  class  secretary  and  Mil* 
Chnssie  H.  Haller  was  chosen  to  fill  the 
vacancy.  No  other  change  was  made  in 
class  officers.  It  was  decided  to  retain  the 
class  memorial  as  a  scholarship  fund,  to  be 
increased  by  gifts   from  members  of  the

THE  ANNUAL  MEETING  OF   THE  ALUMNI 

ASSOCIATION 


Following  the  custom  of  several 
years,  the  annual  meeting  of  the  Al- 
umni Association  was  held  in  Room 
C  in  the  Law  Building.  After  half  an 
hour  spent  in  singing  the  old  songs 
under  the  leadership  of  Levi  D.  Wines, 
'74^,  President  Lane  called  the  meet- 
ing to  order.  The  minutes  of  the  last 
meeting  were  read  by  the  Secretary 
and  approved.  The  report  of  the  Gen- 
eral Secretary  then  followed,  together 
with  the  reports  of  the  Treasurer  and 
the  Auditing  Committee,  all  of  which 
were  accepted.  Upon  motion,  the 
President  then  appointed  a  nominat- 
ing committee  as  follows :    George  M. 


Lane,  '53,  Jeremiah  W.  Jcnks,  '78,  and 
Professor  Martin  L.  D'Ooge,  '62,  to 
nominate  a  Director  in  the  place  of 
Professor  Fred  N.  Scott,  whose  term 
expired.  The  committee  then  retired. 
Edward  W.  Pendleton,  '72,  then  pre- 
sented the  report  of  the  Memorial 
Committee,  which  was  placed  on  file. 
Upon  the  return  of  the  nominating 
committee  the  chairman  reported  that 
Edward  W.  Pendleton,  '72,  was  the 
choice  of  the  committee  for  member- 
ship on  the  Board  of  Directors,  and 
upon  motion  he  was  elected  to  suc- 
ceed Professor  Scott.  The  various  re- 
ports given  at  the  meeting  follow. 


RBPORT  OF  THB  ALUMNI  MEMORIAL  COMMITTEE 


June  17,  1908. 

Your  Committee  respectfully  report 
that  since  the  Annual  Meeting,  a  year 
ago,  a  contract  was  made  under  date 
of  September  27th,  1907,  between  the 
Regents  of  the  University  and  John 
and  Christian  Koch,  doing  business  as 
Koch  Brothers,  for  the  construction 
and  completion  of  the  Alunmi  Memo- 
rial Hall  (not  including  the  interior 
finish)  for  the  sum  of  One  hundred 
seven  thousand  one  hundred  three  and 
no  i/ioo  dollars  ($107,103.00).  This 
was  the  lowest  of  five  bids ;  the  high- 
est bid  being  $139,260.53.  Your  Com- 
mittee is  satisfied  that  not  only  the 
contract  is  most  favorable  as  to  its 
amount,  but  also  that  the  work  is  be- 
ing done  in  a  most  thorough  and  skill- 
ful manner.  In  order  to  complete  this 
building  in  a  manner  fully  commensu- 
rate with  the  purpose  for  which  it  will 
be  used,  and  with  the  lofty  sentiments 
which  it  is  designed  to  commemorate, 
there  will  be  required  about  $30,000 
in  addition  to  the  present  subscrip- 
ticms. 

The  total  amount  of  subscriptions, 
to  date,  is  $125,962.75.    The  Regents 


of  the  University  have  made  a  gen- 
erous subscription  of  $50,000  on  cer- 
tain conditions  to  be  fulfilled,  which 
makes  the  total  amount  availaUe 
$175,862.75.  With  the  enthusiastic 
cooperation  of  the  alumni  and  friends 
of  the  University,  we  are  confident 
that  a  whirlwind  campaign  can  easily 
crown  our  eflforts  with  complete  vic- 
tory. 

The  total  amount  paid  in,  with  in- 
terest, is  the  sum  of  $99,313.99,  ^ow 
in  the  hands  of  the  Treasurer  of  the 
University. 

The  total  amount  expended  to  date 
is  $24,363.86. 

The  totsl  number  of  subscribers  to 
the  fund  is  1,368. 

Respectfuly  submitted,

GENERAL  SECRETARY'S  REPORT 


467 


THE  REPORT  OF  THE  GENERAL  SECRETARY 


To  the  Members  of  the  Alumni  Asso- 
ciation of  the  University  of  Mich- 
igan: 

With  this  report  closes  a  year,  in 
many  respects  the  most  successful  in 
the  history  of  the  Alumni  Associa- 
tion. We  have  made  very  appreciable 
progress  and  your  General  Secretary 
feels  that  our  work  is  not  without  re- 
sult and  is  advancing  along  well  de- 
fined and  ever  broadening  lines.  In  a 
word  it  has  been  a  year  of  reorganiza- 
tion and  financial  adjustment. 

In  accordance  with  the  recommend- 
ation of  the  Board  of  Auditors  last 
year,  we  have  changed  somewhat  the 
system  of  bookkeeping  and  have  de- 
posited the  funds  of  the  Association 
with  the  Treasurer  of  the  University, 
whose  signature  upon  the  voucher 
checks  of  the  Association,  together 
with  those  of  the  officers,  is  necessary 
before  any  expenditures  are  made. 

An  analysis  of  the  receipts  this  past 
year  from  the  annual  and  endowment 
memberships  will  show  that  we  have 
collected  almost  $2,000  worth  on  old 
memberships,  some  of  which  were  sev- 
eral years  in  arrears,  and  have  added 
467  new  members  to  our  list.  The 
new  regulation  of  the  postoffice  auth- 
orities, providing  that  no  subscription 
shall  stand  over-due  more  than  four 
months  after  the  expiration  of  the  first 
year's  subscription  and  still  enjoy  the 
second-class  mail  privil^e,  has  en- 
abled us  to  bring  special  pressure  to 
bear  upon  alumni  who  are  back  from 
three  to  seven  years,  so  that,  by  vari- 
ous means,  we  have  collected 
$1,59640.  While  paying  especial  at- 
tention to  annual  members,  however, 
we  have  by  no  means  neglected  the 
endowment  members  who  are  in  ar- 
rears and  have  collected  $365  from 
them,  making  a  total  of  $1,96140  col- 
lected from  members  of  the  Associa- 
tion three  or  more  years  behind.  The 
annual  memberships  are  now  paid  al- 
most entirely  to  date  and  we  are  now 
enabled  to  turn  our  attention  undivid- 


edly  to  the  back  endowment  members. 
We  have  already  sent  out  a  series  of 
letters  opening  a  campaign  which  we 
expect  to  carry  through  the  next  year 
and  which  we  hope  will  bring  in  from 
$3,000  to  $5,000  from  long  over-due 
endowment  memberships. 

Two  subscription  campaign,  one 
among  the  seniors  and  one  carried  on 
by  student  solicitors  at  home  during 
their  vacations,  have  brought  us  in 
451  new  members,  to  which  the.  six- 
teen new  endowments,  which  mean 
an  addition  of  $568  to  the  total 
pledged  to  our  endowment  fund, 
makes  a  grand  total  of  467  new  mem- 
bers in  the  Association.  The  circula- 
tion of  The  Alumnus  has  grown  to 
7,000  every  month,  bringing  it  to  the 
highest  point  it  has  ever  reached,  and 
placing  it,  with  perhaps  one  exception, 
at  the  head  of  the  list  of  American 
college  publications.  We  have  pub- 
lished on  an  average,  forty-eight  pages 
of  reading  matter  and  a  total  of 
466  pages  of  advertising.  This  will 
bring  our  advertising  to  an  excess 
of  one  hundred  pages  over  the  rec- 
ord of  a  year  ago,  largely  through 
the  indefatigable  efforts  of  Mr.  A, 
J.  Abbott,  the  Business  Manager 
of  The  Alumnus,  to  whom  great 
credit  is  due.  This  circulation  of 
7,000  includes,  of  course,  the  com- 
plimentary copies  sent  to  seniors  every 
year.  The  expense  of  sending  these 
out  is  largely  justified  by  the  generous 
support  of  the  members  of  the  senior 
classes,  among  whom  we  are  making 
a  special  effort  this  year  in  the  hope 
of  adding  the  names  of  over  300  to 
our  roll. 

You  will  notice  from  the  financial 
report  printed  below  that  the  endow- 
ment fund  of  the  Association  now 
stands  at  $18,500,  invested  in  bonds, 
and  $537^1  cash,  making  our  endow- 
ment fund  over  $19,000,  of  which  the 
interest  alone  is  available  for  the  As- 
sociation. 

The  expenditures  of  the  Association 
have  been  larger  than  before,  this  past

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMhRJS 


[July 


year,  owing  to  the  increased  cost  of 
publishing  Thb  Alumnus,  due  in 
part  to  the  increased  circulation,  but 
more  largely  to  the  increased  cost  of 
paper.  These  combined  causes  have 
raised  the  cost  of  The  Axumnus 
from  15%  to  20%,  and  have  formed 
a  heavy  drain  upon  the  resources  of 
the  Association.  In  spite  of  this,  how- 
ever, we  have  managed  to  pay  oflF 
$1,000  upon  outstanding  notes.  You 
will  remember  in  the  report  of  a  year 
ago  there  was  an  indebtedness  of 
$1,500.  During  the  past  year  this  has 
been  reduced  to  $550,  two  notes  hav- 
ing been  paid  up  during  the  month  of 
April.  The  last  note  of  $550,  unless 
some  unforeseen  event  arises,  will  be 
paid  before  the  middle  of  October, 
enabling  us  to  take  up  the  actual  work 
of  the  coming  year  entirely  free  from 
debt,  a  condition  in  which  we  have 
not  been  for  several  years. 

In  addition  to  the  work  of  the 
Alumni  Association  which  I  have  out- 
lined above,  we  have  charge  of  the 
official  card  catalogue  of  the  alumni 
of  the  University,  containing  names 
and  addresses  of  over  25,000  alumni. 
This  catalogue  takes  almost  the  whole 
time  of  one  assistant,  Miss  Lilian 
Warner,  who  reports  the  number  of 
cards  in  the  catalogue  as  29,679,  of 
which  5,600  have  addresses  unknown 
and  24,079  are  known.  Of  the  821 
graduates  of  last  year,  we  have  en- 
tered addresses  for  all  but  25. 

An  attempt  has  been  made  to  locate 
the  2,000  non-graduates  from  1897- 
04  by  return  postal  cards  sent  to  the 
person  himself,  to  some  resident  of 
the  town  from  which  he  registered,  or 
to  some  person  known  to  be  a  relative 
or  friend ;  and  by  sending  lists  of  those 
registered  from  large  cities  to  resi- 
dent alumni.  Between  six  and  seven 
hundred  addresses  have  been  secured 
thus  far,  with  returns  still  coming  in 
steadily. 

In  addition  addresses  have  been  se- 
cured for  about  one  hundred  persons 
who  have  been  dropped  from  The 
Alumnus  mailing  list  and  still  owe 


subscription  dues,  and  at  least  one  at- 
tempt has  been  made  to  secure  cor- 
rect addresses  for  all  persons  whose 
Alumnus  was  returned  "unclaimed." 

Nine  hundred  is  a  conservative  es- 
timate of  addresses  found  during  the 
year  which  had  been  previously  lost 
or  entirely  unknown.  Many  changes 
of  address  have  been  entered  from 
banquet  lists,  class  directories,  alumni 
register,  News  from  the  Classes,  cor- 
respcwidence  of  the  secretary  of  the 
Engineering  Department,  etc. 

The  work  of  compiling  names  of 
non-graduates  from  1897-04  has  also 
been  checked  this  year,  and  many 
class  lists  have  been  made  for  class 
secretaries,  as  well  as  lists  for  Alum- 
nus subscription  woik. 

Registration  slips  filled  out  by  stu- 
dents of  all  departments  for  the  past 
seven  years  have  been  arranged  in  a 
reference  index.  The  special  value  of 
these  slips,  aside  from  the  fact  that 
they  contain  the  person's  full  name, 
age,  and  home  address  in  his  own 
handwriting,  is  that  most  of  them  also 
contain  the  guardian's  name  and  the 
names  of  two  persons  residing  in  the 
same  town.  This  index  has  already 
proved  valuable  in  tracing  lost  ad- 
dresses. 

The  departments  of  "News  from 
the  Classes,"  "Marriages,"  and  "the 
Campus  Calendar"  in  Thb  Alumntjs 
have  been  compiled  in  connection  with 
the  catalogue  work.

GENERAL  SECRETARY'S  REPORT 


469 


Of  the  older  classes  in  the  Literary  De- 
partment, '48  has  lost  one  during  the  year 
(Major  Ransom),  three  survive;  '50  has 
lost  one  (Pattison),  two  survive;  '55  has 
lost  Dunlap,  three  survive;  '58  has  lost 
Quinby ;  '59,  Judge  Prazer ;  '61,  Gen.  Cutch- 
eon,  Rev.  Gregory,  and  Dr.  Saunders;  '65, 
A.  J.  Aldrich;  and  '68;  Giarles  Quarles. 
The  classes  of  '45,  '46,  and  '51  are  extinct 

For  some  years  the  Association  has 
been  publishing  the  University  of 
Michigan  News-Letter,  a  pamphlet 
designed  primarily  for  the  newspapers 
of  the  state.  During  the  past  year, 
we  have  changed  somewhat  the  meth- 
od of  its  publication.  The  appropria- 
tion of  the  University,  $300,  does  not 
cover  the  expense  of  publishing 
twenty-five  numbers  during  the  year 
as  we  have  done  heretofore,  and  we 
have  therefore  been  obliged,  reluctant- 
ly, to  curtail  the  number  to  ten  during 
the  year.  We  feel  assured,  however, 
that  even  with  fewer  numbers  the 
News-Letter  still  continues  to  do  yeo- 
man service  in  the  interest  of  the  Uni- 
versity among  the  state  papers  and 
high  schools. 

The  Memorial  Building,  which  is 
now  in  course  of  erection  on  the 
southwest  comer  of  the  Campus,  has 
been  maide  possible  entirely  through 
the  generosity  of  the  Alumni  and 
friends  of  the  University  and  the  un- 
tiring efforts  of  the  Memorial  Com- 
mittee composed  of  members  of  this 
Association,  to  whose  report  you  have 
already  listened.  The  building  has 
been  pictured  several  times  in  The 
Alumnus,  and  its  final  appearance 
should  be  somewhat  familiar  to  most 
of  those  present.  It  will,  without 
doubt,  be  one  of  the  most  imposing 
structures  on  the  Campus  and  will 
form  a  most  fitting  monument  to  the 
memory  of  Michigan's  distinguished 
graduates.  It  is  understood  that  the 
Alumni  Association  will  find  luxurious 
quarters  in  the  first  floor  of  the  build- 
ing upon  its  conviction  in  rooms  far 
more  spacious  and  comfortable  than 
those  we  are  occupying    at    present. 


The  laying  of  the  comer  stone  will 
occur  this  afternoon  immediately  fol- 
lowing this  meeting. 

By  way  of  suggestion  for  the  com- 
ing year,  and  in  line  with  the  criticism 
of  The  Alumnus  in  this  meeting  last 
year,  the  Secretary  would  like  to  make 
one  statement.  He  feels  that  in  com- 
parison with  the  alumni  publications 
of  certain  other  universities,  especially 
the  East,  there  is  a  lack  of  interest 
shown  on  the  part  of  the  alumni.  It 
is  not  exactly  a  lack  of  appreciation, 
for  we  have  received  so  many  letters 
of  commendation  from  alumni  all  over 
the  world  regarding  the  work  of  The 
Alumnus  and  the  Association  in  gen- 
eral, that  the  Secretary  feels  that  our 
work  is  far  from  vain.  At  the  same 
time,  however,  we  feel  that  the  tangi- 
ble evidence  of  the  interest  of  ttie 
alumni  is  not  made  plain  enough.  The 
Secretary,  as  editor  of  The  Alum- 
nus, feels  that  a  more  general  expres- 
sion of  alumni  opinion  through  the 
columns  of  The  Alumnus  would  en- 
hance the  interest,  and  he  would  very 
much  like  to  see  more  letters  from 
alumni  on  various  subjects  of  interest. 
The  practice  once  established  would 
not  be  difficult  to  continue  and  this 
question  is  presented  to  you  for  your 
most  earnest  consideration,  and  we 
hope  future  action.  Every  alumnus 
worthy  the  name  is  interested  in  some 
branch  of  the  activities  of  the  Uni- 
versity and  on  some  occasion  must 
have  an  opinion  worth  expressing. 
We  solicit  that  information  for  the 
columns  of  The  Alumnus. 

In  conclusion  it  might  be  well  to 
repeat  the  summary  of  the  report 
given  at  this  time  a  year  ago.  The 
work  before  this  Association  is  plain. 
I.  We  must  in  the  first  place  add  con- 
tinually to  our  list  of  members.  We 
need  and  should  have  10,000  sub- 
scribers. 2.  There  is  still  a  large 
amount  due  from  back  endowment 
memberships.  These  must  be  brought 
in  as  fast  as  possible,  and  finally,  3.

THE  COMMENCEMENT  EXERCISES 


The  sixty-fourth  annual  Commence- 
ment exercises  of  the  University  were 
held  at  ten  o'clock,  June  18,  1908. 
Following  the  custom  of  many  years, 
the  classes  met  at  their  various  build- 
ings to  form  in  the  long  Conunence- 
ment  procession,  which  was  headed  by 
Dean  Mortimer  E.  Cooley  of  the  En- 
gineering Department  as  marshal. 
Following  the  President  and  Speaker 
of  the  Day,  President  Finley,  LL.D., 
of  the  College  of  the  City  of  New 
York,  the  Regentsj  the  recipients  of 
Honorary  degrees,  the  Faculty,  and 
the  Alumni,  passed  down  the  long 
walks,  lined  with  the  members  of  the 
various  classes  who  fell  in  line  in  turn 
and  passed  up  four  abreast  to  Univer- 
sity Hall,  where  they  completely  filled 
the  central  portion  of  the  gjeat  audi- 
torium. The  alumni  occupied  a  sec- 
tion at  once  side,  which  was  reserved 
for  them,  while  the  Faculty  sat  upon 
the  other  side.  The  gallery  was  re- 
served entirely  for  the  parents  and 
friends  of  the  seniors,  each  of  whom 
had  been  given  one  complimentary 
ticket.  We  give  in  part  the  Com- 
mencement address. 


The  axe  and  the  plough,  the  rifle  and  the 
saddle,  have  carried  us  throufi^  the  days 
of  the  simple  life,  through  democrac/s 
heroic  period,  into  more  complex  if  not 
more  strenuous  days,  we  are  constantly  re- 
minded by  those  who  see  our  golden  age 
behind  us.  We  are  her  tamer,  o'er-refincd, 
eflFeminate,  luxury-loving  children,  living 
most  of  us  and  willin^y,  like  birds  in  cages 
which  the  telegraph  and  telephone  wires 
have  made  about  us.  We  sing  our  soogs 
beneath  roofs;  we  have  our  food  thrust 
between  the  raols  of  steel  or  the  meshes  of 
the  wire ;  we  do  not  have  to  roam  the  for- 
est or  scour  the  plain  for  it  like  the  stoDe 
age  man ;  the  water  is  pumped  to  cor  lips 
and  we  do  not  have  to  seek  out  vanishing 
springs  as  did  Tantalus ;  we  have  the  one 
environment  (except  as  we  are  let  oot  of 
our  cages  for  a  htde  time  of  vacation), 
and  the  one  fashion  of  life.  I  went  sooie 
time  ago  into  the  wild  Roddes  but  was  in- 
formed before  I  started  that  I  should  take 
my  evening  clothes.  Montana  buys  the 
costliest  paintings  in  Paris;  Parkman's 
"Oregon  Trail"  so  dear  to  me  in  my  col- 
lege days  is  redolent  of  the  gasoline  aoto- 
mobile.  There  arc  Carnegie  libraries  ffl 
Wyoming;  there  is  a  university  in  OU^ 
homa.  Even  the  Indian  has  assumed  wt 
similitude  of  the  garb  and  manners  of  the 
university  graduate.  There  are  no  fron- 
tiersmen, for  frontier  has  become  as  cen- 
ter, the  marches  as  die  capital  I  So  we  tfc 
told  by  those  who  have  eyes  to  sec  the 
external  things  only.  But  I  have  come  oot

COMMENCEMENT  ADDRESS 


473 


dnent  if  not  of  the  world  to  tell  you  what 
many  of  you  know  already,  that  this  is  not 
a  fact 

I  have  been  estimating  that  the  number 
of  young  men  and  young  women  of  your 
age  in  this  entire  continent  (Indians  ex- 
cepted), at  the  time  when  this  territory  was 
passing  from  French  to  English  rule  was 
not  as  great  as  the  number  in  the  one  little 
Island  of  Manhattan  today.  And  I  have 
somewhere  read  that  at  that  time  there  was 
onlv  one  college  trained  man  in  the  Colony 
of  New  York  and  only  thirteen  young  men 
"who  were  to  impress  themselves  on  affairs 
who  had  secured  any  sort  of  a  liberal  edu- 
cation." If  all  the  young  men  in  this  con- 
tinent of  your  age  a  century  and  a  half 
ago  had  been  nuered  into  one  place  (say 
the  Harvard  Stadium  where  ttiey  could 
have  been  comfortably  seated),  they  might 
have  all  seen  one  football  or  t^sebsul  game 
together  or  together  have  sung  one  college 
song  or  all  have  heard  the  sound  of  ooe 
man's  voice. 

I  have  often  wished  that  I  misht  have 
spoken  to  that  audience  of  youth  from  ^e 
Androscoggin,  the  Altamaha,  the  Hudson, 
the  Susquehanna  and  the  Mohawk,— all  the 
young  men  of  America.  Think  how  one 
might  have  influenced  the  whole  future  of 
this  Republic  by  one  speech,  with  Washing- 
ton and  Patrick  Henry  and  Boone  and 
Stark  and  Robert  Morris  among  his  audi- 
tors. 

This  is  what  I  might  have  said: 

"You  are  the  van  of  a  mighty  civilization. 
Where  you  lead  with  your  axes  and  your 
rifles,  your  ploughs  and  your  forses,  your 
canoes  and  your  transits;  your  ideals  and 
your  habits  and  your  laws,  the  ships  will 
follow  without  sails,  the  wagons  will  go 
without  horses,  thousands  will  walk  across 
rivers  dry-shod,  threads  of  iron  or  copper 
will  carry  speech  and  fire,  and  a  hundred 
million  will  live  in  greater  comfort  than 
even  the  richest  of  you  today.  Ten  thous- 
and pillars  of  cloud  will  stand  by  da]f  over 
towns  and  cities  where  now  there  is  but 
a  wilderness,  ten  thousand  pillars  of  fire 
will  glow  every  night  where  there  has  not 
been  a  light  for  centuries  save  in  the  slnr 
above.  You,  you  are  the  pioneers  of  all 
this.  Think  what  a  destiny  is  within  your 
grasp.  What  you  do,  what  you  ar^  what 
you  give,  will  be  multiplied  a  hundred,  a 
thousand  fold  for  good  or  bad.  Not  an 
act  of  yours  but  wiU  be  felt  to  the  rim  of 
the  continent,  not  a  word  but  will  be  heard 
in  a  myriad  echoes  from  sea  to  sea.  And 
so  I  say  to  you,  remember  who  you  are. 
Do  not  waste  your  time;  do  not  be  dis- 
heartened 1^  your  hardships;  do  not  com- 
plain of  your  lot  Throu^^  your  sacrifices 
a  new  world  is  to  spring  from  the  old.  You 
are  heirs  not  of  the  Past,  of  the  Old  alone. 


but  of  all  the  Future,  of  the  New.  (jO 
back  to  the  rivers  from  which  you  have 
come  and  look  not  longinglv  toward  the 
Eastern  sea  into  which  they  flow,  but  west- 
ward, northward,  southward  to  their 
sources." 

But  I  might  as  fitly  make  this  address  to 
^ou  who  are  of  the  new  pioneers  in  Amer- 
ica, for  this  country  has  her  frontiersmen 
not  less  certainly  today  than  in  the  decades 
of  her  past;  frontiersmen  not  less  numerous 
in  her  cities  than  once  in  her  forests  and 
wildernesses;  not  less  valorous  in  their 
ventures  and  their  sacrifices  amid  multi- 
tudes and  in  busy  streets  than  once  amid 
the  perils  of  deau  under  a  lonesome  ^. 
And  I  venture  to  say  that  they  are  and 
are  to  be  not  less  dear  to  her  than  to  those 
who  blazed  the  way  through  forests,  who 
gave  augur  of  the  course  ox  dviilzation  by 
tiie  flight  of  the  great  birds  they  drove 
Westward,  who  divined  the  future  from 
the  entrails  of  the  heads  they  slew  upon 
the  prairies,  or  marked  the  sites  of  future 
cities  with  their  furrows. 

The  hardship  of  the  new  pioneer  is  no 
longer  that  of  sleeping  on  the  bare  earth, 
of  making  long  journeys  on  foot  All  this 
we  do  now-a-days  for  pleasure.  I  have  for 
an  outing  paddled  a  canoe  in  the  wake  of 
the  French  explorers  down  "St  Joe,"  the 
Desplaines  and  the  Illinois  and  I  have  dup- 
licated the  marches  of  Washington  and  his 
soldiers  as  a  recreation.  The  privation  is 
no  longer  that  of  going  without  food  or 
drink,  or  living  far  from  neighbors  and 
friends,  of  enduring  the  untempered  cold 
or  the  withering  heat  or  the  piercing  tem- 
pest The  hardship  is  that  of  holding  one- 
self to  a  course  of  study  or  hard  training 
that  will  lead  out  to  the  edge  of  the  known, 
the  privation  that  of  denying  oneself  every 
comfort  to  find  what  the  truth  is;  the  suf- 
fering that  of  following  the  truth  wherever 
it  leads. 

It  is  no  mere  fiction  of  my  imagination 
which  reckons  as  a  part  of  democracy's  ter- 
ritory that  great  estate,  now  invisible  nor 
subject  to  me  measurement  of  degrees  of 
latitude  and  longitude,  which  the  past  has 
gathered  of  human  experience.  A  part  of 
tiiat  estate  is  transmitted  through  we  me- 
dium of  physical  inheritance,  diough  we  are 
assured  by  biologists  that  those  of  one  gen- 
eration are  not  able  to  transmit  their  sev- 
eral "acquired  characteristics"  to  ti^ose  who 
come  after  them  (much  to  the  comfort  of 
some  of  us  whose  characteristics  are  not 
all  that  could  be  desired).  But  whether 
"acquired  characteristics"  be  transmitted 
directly  or  not,  there  is  certainly  a  vast 
territory  that  is  not  directly  inherited  l^ 
the  individual,  that  comes  under  cultivation 
and  into  fruitfulness  only  by  the  medium 
of  some  sort  of  teaching,  either  of  parent;

neighbor,  book,  paper,  speech  or  teacher. 
It  IS  that  territory  which  democracy  must 
somehow  manage  to  enlarge,  hold  and  de- 
velop, not  less  than  her  material  resources, 
if  she  is  to  keep  herself  and  her  children 
out  of  the  poorhouse  of  nations  or  the 
cemetery  of  disappointed  hopes. 

She  must  hold  that  territory  as  she  has 
held  the  public  lands  upon  her  Western 
frontiers  for  the  free  or  practically  free 
occupancy  of  her  growing  and  more  am- 
bitious family;  a  fenceless  field  in  whose 
conquest  and  cultivation  the  eager  of  mind 
may  find  the  opportunity  of  a  larger  ser- 
vice or  of  escape  from  the  confinements  and 
servitude  of  a  narrow  ancestral  lot  which 
has  by  nature  fallen  to  them.  I  do  not 
know  where  to  find  more  fit  expression  or 
how  to  visualize  more  clearly  the  opportun- 
ity and  the  consequent  obligations  diat  are 
upon  democracy  to  educate  in  the  highest 
and  broadest  sense  of  the  term  her  sons 
and  her  daughters,  dian  in  this  figure  of 
the  fields. 

The  keeping  of  this  free  territory  upon 
her  borders  is  the  best  relief  for  the  dis- 
content of  congestion,  for  the  hopefulness 
of  ignorance  and  for  the  despair  of  finding 
noble  employment  It  gives  opportunity  for 
the  constant  passing  from  the  narrow,  sky- 
less  circumscribed  lot  of  mere  livelihood  to 
the  wider  horizons  of  life  and  of  hope.  I 
speak  of  the  public  obligation,  that  of  the 
state.  Private  philanthropy  in  the  educa- 
tion of  others,  and  private  wealth  in  the 
education  of  its  own,  do  give  and  will  give 
that  siame  aid  to  those  whom  they  reach, 
will  put  and  do  put  thousands  out  upon 
those  fields  or  on  die  way  to  them.  Indeed, 
in  the  higher  education  we  have  been  de- 
pendent largely  upon  such  agencies.  But 
there  are  many  thousands  of  youth,  even 
with  this  splendid  private  provision  (and 
especially  in  the  great  cities  of  our  repub- 
lic) who  can  never  have  the  remotest  chance 
of  coming  into  sight  of  this  more  sparsely 
settled  country  of  truth  and  of  becoming 
men  of  leadership  and  power  and  service 
in  their  communities, — who  are  held  by  cir- 
cumstances within  walls  they  can  neither 
beat  down  nor  scale. 


The  transHgurer  of  things,  he  is  the  man 
we  wish  to  keep  upon  our  borders,  and  if 
the  man  of  Science  be  not  such  a  man  then 
there  should  always  tent  with  him  the  poet, 
one  who  will  "merge  scientific  facts  into 
new  relations  between  man  and  man,  be- 
tween man  and  God  and  between  man  and 
nature/'  He  is  to  be  of  the  frontiersmen, 
too. 

«        i»        «        *        «        «        « 

And  you  teachers  and  others  who  lead 


youth  out  in  die  path  blated  by  scientists 
and  poets,  you  who  have  yourselves  looked 
across  the  verges,  who  are  some  df  yoo 
♦'>  recruit  their  camps,  but  who  arc  most 
oi  you  to  live  in  the  latitude  and  atmosphere 
of  more  familiar  truths  and  are  to  know 
of  the  new  only  by  report  from  the  fron- 
tier, you  are  the  probate  judges  of  diese 
estates,  the  guides  to  the  eternal  fields;  and 
you  graduates  who  go  to  occupy  them,  are 
as  renters,  or  rather  as  managers  of  estates, 
— that  is  what  baccalaureates,  bachelors, 
originally  were,  managers  of  estates,— es- 
tates devised  to  your  keeping  and  cultiva- 
tion by  the  Past,  estates  of  which  you  are 
trustees  for  the  Future. 

Democracy  has  her  best  hope  of  stability 
and  perpetuity  in  the  education— iht  Uai- 
ing  forthr—oi  those  who  are  today  at  tbe 
converging  of  the  forces  of  the  past— lead- 
ing them  forth  into  those  larger  estates,  in 
bequeathing  them  so  much  of  the  truth  as 
she  is  able  to  gather  from  all  the  Time  that 
has  gone,  and  in  teaching  them  to  cultivate 
that  truth  into  a  greater  fruitfulness. 

A  great  university  president  said  some 
time  ago  in  a  public  address  in  my  hearing 
and  the  hearing  of  your  President,  that  if 
the  universiti^  established  of  democracy 
continued  and  increased  their  high  and  ben- 
eficial service,  truth-telling  mi^t  becope 
universal  For  the  function  of  education 
is  threefold,  since  there  are  three  classes 
of  men  who  cannot  speak  the  trudi,  first, 
those  who  do  not  know  the  truth;  second, 
those  who  know  it  but  whose  selfishness 
or  cowardice  keeps  them  from  telling  it; 
and  third,  those  who  know  it  and  are  brave 
enough  to  speak  it,  but  know  not  how  to 
tell  it.  In  these  human  lacks  and  frailties 
has  education  her  tasks  intimated  and  as- 
signed and  in  such  education  has  democracy 
her  hope — to  teach  men  the  trudi,  to  teU 
them  how  to  express  it,  and  then  to  make 
them  dare  to  speak  it. 

Following  President  Finley's  ad- 
dress the  diplomas  were  presented  to 
the  graduates  by  President  Angell. 
The  number  of  degrees  given  out 
was  885,  exclusive  of  the  Honorary 
degrees,  of  which  there  were  nine. 
Degrees  were  conferred  in  various  de- 
partments as  follows:

THE  COMMENCEMENT  DINNER 

Shortly  after  the  Commencement 
exercises,  the  O^mmencement  dinner 
was  held  in  Waterman  Gynmasitmi, 
where  plates  had  been  laid  for  six 
hundred  guests.  The  alunmi  formed 
in  line  under  Tappan  Oak,  and  headed 


by  President  Angdl  and  the  orator  of 
the  day,  filed  into  the  banquet  hall, 
where  an  excellent  dinner  was  wait- 
ing. After  everyone  had  been  well 
served,  President  Angell  rose  to  in- 
troduce the  speakers.  His  remarks 
follow : 

DR.   ANGELL 

It  is  my  pleasure  as  usual  to  welcome 
you  back  to  these  tables  again.  I  suppose 
you  have  all  been  pleased  at  the  signs  of 
progress  which  are  manifest  everywhere. 
You  have  observed  the  new  building  going 
up  on  the  street  opposite  which  is  to  be  the 
home  of  the  Dental  College.  Particularly 
many  are  here  to  lay  the  comer  stone  of 
the  Memorial  Building,  which  is  obviously 
far  finer  than  any  that  we  have.  The  Re- 
gents expect  to  erect  also  during  the  com- 
ing season  a  new  and  greatly  enlarged 
chemical  laboratory,  as  the  present  one  is 
entirely  outgrown.  In  fact,  that  is  a  con- 
dition we  find  ourselves  in  in  almost  all 
our  buildings.  The  increase  in  attendance 
has  been  so  rapid  that  accommodations 
cannot  be  furnished.  We  would  like  to 
have  you  carry  away  that  impression.  If 
the  growth  continues,  it  is  going  to  be  a 
very  serious  problem  where  we  can  house 
all  these  people  for  the  purposes  of  class 
work  and  laboratory  work,  and  also  a  very 
serious  question,  how  we  can  provide  in 
general  for  the  administration  of  the  Uni- 
versity for  so  large  an  attendance.  The 
calendar  reports  something  over  5,000  in 
attendance;  there  were  about  1,200  when 
I  first  knew  the  University.  The  increase 
within  that  time  has  been  fourfold,  and  if 
the  increase  goes  on,  >ve  are  to  have  a  very 
grave  problem  on  our  hands  before  the 
next  generation  gets  through.  I  do  not 
know  what  any  of  the  great  western  uni- 
versities are  to  do  to  handle  the  great  num- 
ber of  students.  The  passion  for  education 
has  become  so  dominant  here  in  this  Mid- 
dle West,  the  prosperity  of  die  people  has 
been  so  rapidl:|r  advancing,  so  many  new 
and  excellent  high  schools  have  been  erect- 
ed, so  much  larger  proportion  of  die  people 
are  prepared  to  send  their  sons  and  dau^- 
ters  to  universities  that  really  we  are  con- 
fronted with  a  difficult  problem.  We  can 
onl^  hope  that  the  same  enthusiasm,  of 
which  the  orator  spoke  this  morning,  which 
has  led  them  to  appropriate  lo  generously 
already  for  the  education  of  their  children, 
will  continue  in  the  vears  to  come.  We 
ourselves  are  more  than  careful  to  leave 
the  impression  on  all  our  friends  that  we 
are  not  desirous  of  mere  bigness.  It  is 
rather  greatness  in  the  sense  of  thorough 
and  efficient  work  that  we  desire  to  attain.

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUM^«JS 


[July 


Bttt  we  cannot  turn  these  young  peoi4e 
away  from  our  doors,  and  we  are  obliged 
to  care  for  them  as  best  we  may.  We  are 
unable  to  do  in  many  respects  what  we 
desire  to  do  for  the  education  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Michigan. 

We  have,  as  you  all  know,  sustained  one 
very  great  affliction  during  the  past  month 
in  the  death  of  Regent  White,  who  was  so 
well  known  to  all  of  you  by  reputation,  if 
not  personally,  and  to  many  of  vou  per- 
sonally, and  so  well-known  diroughout  this 
whole  sUte  as  a  man  of  the  largest  gen- 
erosity and  of  the  finest  public  spirit,  and 
ready  to  serve  this  state  in  every  direction 
in  which  he  could.  It  is  not  an  exaggera- 
tion to  say  that  he  was  in  fact  the  first  citi- 
zen of  Midiigan  on  the  day  of  his  death. 

More  and  more  the  number  of  those 
who  return  to  Commencement  is  in- 
creasing. Difficult  as  it  is  to  furnish 
accommodations  in  Uraversity  Hall,  yet  we 
are  always  rejoiced  to  see  you  here,  and  we 
are  particuknriy  glad  that  you  are  here  to- 
day when  there  are  so  many  occasions  the- 
where  in  our  neighborhood  that  are  with- 
holding from  our  company  many  of  our 
best  friends.  The  meeting  of  the  Grand 
Army  of  the  Republic  in  Detroit;  the  anni- 
versary of  most  of  the  high  schools  in  die 
state;  and  the  great  Convention  in  Chi- 
cago,—all  these  tended,  no  doubt,  to  deprive 
us  of  the  company  of  many  we  are  accus- 
tomed to  see  here,  but  I  am  very  glad  you 
have  been  good  enough  to  look  in  upon  us 
today. 

It  has  been  our  custom  always  at  these 
dinners,  if  op|>ortunity  presented  itsdf,  to 
recognize  our  mdebtedness  to  the  State>  the 
mother  of  the  University,  by  asking  some 
one  of  its  officials  to  say  a  word  lo  as. 
We  are  sorry  the  Governor  is  not  able  to 
be  here,  but  I  take  jgreaLt  pleasure  in  intro- 
ducing to  you  the  Superintendent  of  Pub- 
lic Instruction,  the  Hon.  Mr.  Wright,  to 
say  a  word  in  behalf  of  the  State. 

SUPIRINTBMDBMT  WRIGHT 

I  beHeve  that  this  University  wiU  always 
be  a  great  blessing  to  the  State.  The  State 
IS  not  the  number  of  square  miles  of  lake 
and  forest  included  within  its  boundary 
lines,  but  the  cherished  women,  prosperous, 
well-fed  men  and  children  who  live  within 
its  borders.  This  people  has  created  for  its 
own  use  and  service  this  University,  has 
endowed  it,  supported  it,  admired  it,  and 
loved  it  as  a  mother  her  first  bom.  No 
words  of  mine  can  strengthen  the  love  and 
loyalty  ol  the  State  for  the  University  and 
its  honored  head,  for  him  who  for  a  gen- 
eration has  been  our  inspiration,  our  ideal, 
our  leader.  Bducattonal  systems,  unlike 
other  structures,  are  built  from  the  top 
down.    The  foundation  is  at  the  top,  but 


when  the  State,  throu|^  its  servant  here, 
the  Board  of  Re^ts,  thirty-seven  ytm 
ago  brought  to  this  then  small  and  unim- 
proved school,  the  man  who  is  the  present 
foundation  of  our  educational  system,  they 
builded  better  than  th^  knew. 

Michigan  is  a  familiar  word  in  foreign 
lands,  ft  means  not  the  square  miles  within 
its  borders,  not  even  the  people,  but  Mich- 
igan means  the  University  and  the  man  who 
made  it  The  University  has  never  broken 
its  hi^  purpose  to  serve  the  people.  It  has 
kept  Its  democracy  and  has  ever  been  ck>se 
to  the  people  and  to  the  other  schools  of 
the  State. 

Of  our  educational  system,  the  Univer^ 
is  our  pride  and  crown  of  glory.  The  hign 
schools  are  a  just  source  of  satisfaction, 
but  the  country  school  is  its  problem.  Of 
the  750,000  dukSren  in  Michigan,  300^000 
live  on  farms  and  attend  a  one-room  coun- 
try school.  The  rural  sdiools  have  not 
kept  pace  with  other  country  ccmditions. 
The  farmers  have  fine  homes,  lawns,  flow- 
ers, pianos,  and  automobiles.  The  country 
school  is  still  too  often  a  weather  beaten 
structure  at  a  cross  road.  There  cannot 
be  mudi  inspiration  for  the  refinements  of 
Ufe.  The  study  of  scientific  agriculture  is 
coming  to  the  public  sdiool  and  it  wiQ  be 
a  material  benefit  Can  it  come  to  the 
country  boy  and  the  country  school  who 
need  it  most?  I  believe  it  cannot  as  tbe 
country  school  is  now  orgamized.  The  pres- 
ent system  is  illogical  The  per  capita  cort 
is  50  per  cent  to  150  per  cent  greater  than 
in  dties.  For  the  country  child  there  is 
no  high  sdiool  training  unless  he  comes 
to  a  city.  The  worst  thmg  is  that  so  small 
a  percentage  come  to  high  schools  at  all 
The  remedy  for  this  is  a  reorganization,— a 
township  unit  system,  a  central  high  school 
There  should  be  a  doser  rdation  betweoi 
the  various  parts  of  the  system  of  public 
education  and  the  State,  the  University,  the 
high  sdiool,  and  most  of  all  the  coantry 
school. 

PRISIDBNT  ANGILL 

You  have  heard  the  old  conundrum  and 
answer,  "Why  were  the  wise  men  of  the 
East,  who  came  to  Jerusalem,  so  called  the 
wise  men  of  the  Bast,"  and  tin  answer  is 
"Because  they  knew  enough  to  go  West" 
There  is  another  answer  to  give  to  that 
question.  Some  of  the  wise  men  of  tbe 
East  have  known  enough  to  come  West 
and  find  men  to  come  back  to  die  East  and 
administer  thdr  colleges,— a  very  strikmg 
example  in  the  orator  of  the  day.  Dr.  Fin-

called  upon  unexpectedly  to  take  a  place  at 
a  Sunday  school  rally.  After  the  exer- 
cises were  over  the  chairman  said,  Mr. 
Pinley,  we  are  so  much  obliged  to  you ;  we

I  tell  the  city  boys  how  fortunate  they 
are,  but  when  I  come  back  West  and  see 
men  riding  on  plows,  gathering  com  by

speech  in  order  to  be  entirely  truthful. 
The  boys  back  there  have  special  advan- 
tages, as  the  former  speaker  intimated, 
which  the  country  boy  does  not  have.  I 
walked  eight  miles  to  hear  the  first 
lecturer  of  distinction,  while  the  city  boy 
may  have  the  benefit  of  such  a  lecture  by 
the  payment  of  street  car  fare.  We  are 
trying  to  do  in  New  York  what  you  are 
doing  here,  although  the  problem  with  us 
is  that  more  than  half  the  boys  are  foreign 
born.  They  are  the  children  of  Euro^ 
who  have  come  up  into  the  city.  The  city 
has  appropriated  six  million  dollars  for  the 
erection  of  new  buildings,  and  is  giving 
a  half  million  a  year  for  current  expenses. 
There,  no  boy  is  obliged  to  pay  and  stu- 
dents are  admitted  to  any  course  without 
fee.  I  take  great  encouragement  for  my 
college  from  the  work  of  this  splendid  in- 
stitution toward  which  I  am  alwasrs  point- 
ing my  trustees.

Qass  of '58. 

LIBBRTY    HOLDBM.  '58 

Fifty  years  ago  the  class  of  '58  grad- 
uated from  the  University  of  Michigan. 
I  am  not  going  to  tell  you  all  that  comes 
to  me  in  such  a  rapid  tide  of  memory.  I 
know  full  well  the  growth  of  this  wonder- 
ful institution  from  that  time  to  this,  and 
my  heart  and  my  voice  join  with  yours  in 
giving  due  credit  to  the  President  today  for 
building  and  developing  the  grand  idea  of 
the  Universtiy  that  was  brought  to  these 
grounds  by  Dr.  Tappan.  Two  men  have 
built  this  University.  We  were  Ac  stu- 
dents at  the  time  Dr.  Tappan  was  here. 
We  heard  him  tell  his  idea  of  the  Univer- 
sity. We  know  full  well  what  difficulty  he 
met  in  trying  to  get  the  Sute  to  adopt  this 
child  of  his,— a  grander  man  I  never  knew. 
He  was  one  of  those  few  men  that  the 
nearer  you  came  to  him  the  greater  he 
seemed  to  be,  and  the  greater  he  was. 
Grand  in  ideas,  philosophic  in  all  of  his 
make-up,  and  3ret  grand  and  great  as  he 
was,  he  could  not  do  what  Dr.  Angell  has 
•done  in  the  last  thirty-seven  years. 

We  had  other  fine  men  as  our  teachers 


and  professors.  I  recall  Dr.  Frieze,  Dr. 
Boise,  and  others  to  mind, — ^Dr.  Frieze, 
gentle  as  Charles  Lamb,  beautiful  in  his 
spirit,  artistic  in  every  fibre  of  his  soul.  I 
remember  how  he  taught  us, — giving  lec- 
tures on  the  art  idea.  There  was  hardly 
a  picture  in  Michigan  in  those  days,  not  a 
statue,  that  had  the  art  idea  in  it,  but  Dr. 
Frieze's  soul  was  full  of  it.  He  brought 
the  first  emblems  of  art, — ^a  few  copies  of 
Greek  statuettes,  and  other  objects  of  art. 
He  brought  here  the  Nydia.  I  remember 
walking  about  that  statue  and  looking  at  it; 
I  remember  his  talk  and  the  story  he  told. 
I  looked  at  it  again  todav,  and  was  mspired 
to  say  a  word  in  behalf  of  what  ought  to 
be  done  in  the  art  idea  on  these  grounds. 
That  which  should  be  the  complement  of 
education  is  a  larger  department,  a  larger 
endowment  than  is  now  given  to  the  art 
department  of  this  institution.  I  cannot 
tell  you  with  what  pleasure  I  went  over 
the  new  Alumni  building.  It  is  the  first 
real  expression  of  art  on  this  Campusi  The 
others  are  good  (some  of  them),  but  this 
one  is  excellent. 

I  want  the  Universi^  of  Michigan,  its 
rich  men,  its  graduates,  its  Regents,  to  bring 
to  the  University  the  art,  and  art  ideas  of 
Greece.  I  want  this  building  to.be  com- 
pleted. I  want  it  to  be  furnished  as  artis- 
tically as  the  building  has  been  conceived, 
but  I  want  something  more  to  commemo- 
rate the  two  great  characters  Uiat  have 
founded  this  University,— «  colonnade, 
where,  on  either  side,  shall  stand  statues 
of  Henry  P.  Tappan  and  Dr.  Angell.  This 
work  cannot  be  fittingly  completed  until 
this  thought  is  embodied  in  some  form. 

Mr.  Holden  was  followed  by  Dr.  Wm.  J. 
Mayo: 

DR.   MAYO 

Mr.  President,  Fellow  Students,  Ladies, 
and  Gentlemen:  This  task  that  hias  fallen 
upon  me  is  not  lightly  assumed.  It  it  a 
great  pleasure  for  students  of  the  Univer- 
sity of  years  a^  to  come  back  here  to  take 
once  more  by  hand  the  venerable  President, 
to  see  the  old  buildings,  and  to  come  back 
and  view  the  progress  that  has  been  made. 
In  the  eloquent  address  today  of  President 
Finley,  he  called  attention  to  what  the  Uni- 
versity of  Michigan  had  taught  the  East. 
The  educational  ideal,  like  the  common  law 
of  this  counry,  came  from  England,  and 
the  universities  of  England,  to  a  very  con- 
siderable extent,  made  for  class  distinction. 
When  the  universities  of  the  Eastern  coast 
of  this  country  were  organized,  they,  too, 
were  tinctured  with  democratic  ideals.  But 
it  was  for  the  University  of  Michigan  to 
realize  it  fully.    It  is  from  the  small  eam-

THE  MICHIGAN  ALUMNUS 


(July 


ings  of  the  mass  of  the  people  that  this 
University  is  supported,  and  it  is  the  peo- 
ple as  a  whole  that  have  stood  behind  this 
University.  Michigan  has  done  a  great 
work,  and  President  Angell  has  taught, 
more  than  any  one  man,  the  value  of  men, 
not  buildings.  It  is  the  men,  the  men  who 
stand  for  the  universities  of  the  various 
states,  who  can  be  credited  very  largely 
with  the  success  of  these  institutions  which 
have  been  based  on  University  of  Michigan 
lines. 

The  tendency  of  Western  colleges  has 
been  to  develop  the  practical  side  against 
the  old  English  idea  of  the  humanities  to 
the  exclusion  of  everything  else.  We  know 
now  and  have  come  to  see  that  the  study 
of  the  anatomy  of  man  is  as  much  of  a 


cultural  stud^  as  that  of  plants.  The  Uni- 
versity of  Minnesota  and  the  University  of 
Wisconsin  have  been  based  on  the  experi- 
ence of  the  University  of  Michigan.  It  was 
because  we  get  together  in  the  legislature, 
and  are  able  to  say  this  thing  is  no  experi- 
ment, it  has  succeeded  in  Michigan,  and 
these  people  know  that  it  has  succeeded  in 
Michigan,  that  they  have  given  us  the  money 
to  duplicate,  to  follow,  in  the  footsteps  of 
the  University  of  Michigan. 

Short  speeches  were  also  made  by  Judge 
Aaron  V.  McAlvay  in  behalf  of  the  Cb^ 
of  *68,  and  President  Snyder  of  the  Agri- 
cultural College.  Following  the  Doxolc^, 
led  by  Professor  Martin  L.  I^Ooge,  the 
sixty-fourth  annual  Commencement  exer- 
cises were  brought  to  an  official  close.

were  well  attended.  The  plays  pre- 
sented were :  "The  Two  Gentlemen  of 
Verona,"  in  the  afternoon,  and  "Mid- 
summer Night's  Dream,"  in  the  even- 
ing. The  latter,  although  it  has  been 
given  several  times  before,  proved  as 
attractive  as  ever,  perhaps  because  of 
an  especial  fitness  for  evening  out-of- 
door  production.  The  performance  of 
"The  Two  Gentlemen  of  Verona"  was 
the  first  in  Ann  Arbor. 

THE  SENIOR  RECEPTION 

The  annual  Senior  Reception  was 
held  in  Barbour  Gymnasium  on  the 
evening  of  Tuesday,  the  i6th.  The 
Gymnasium  was  decorated  in  Yellow 
and  Blue,  together  with  the  numerals, 
1908,  and  Michigan  pennants,  which 
were  relieved  by  American  flags  hung 
about  the  running  track.  Following 
the  reception,  at  which  the  patronesses 
were  Mrs.  Myra  B.  Jordan,  Mrs.  John 
O.  Reed,  Mrs.  Gardner  S.  Williams, 
Mrs.  V.  H.  Lane,  and  Mrs.  George 
Dock,  the  regular  program  of  dances 
began.  The  stand  for  the  orchestra 
was  erected  in  the  center  of  the  room, 
an  innovation  in  arrangement  which 
proved  popular  with  the  htmdred  and 
fifty  couples  present. 

The  committees  of  the  senior  class 
having  the  Reception  in  charge  were 
as  follows:  General  chairman,  How-

THE  ALUMNI  BREAKFAST  AND  THE 
SENATE  RECEPTION 

Two  events  of  Commencement 
Week,  which  add  greatly  to  the  pleas- 
ure of  the  returning  alumni,  are  the 
Alumni  Breakfast  given  the  morning 
of  Alumni  Day  by  the  Woman's 
League  and  the  Alumni  Association 
in  Barbour  Gymnasium,  and  the  Sen- 
ate Reception  given  by  the  Faculty  to 
the  alumni  and  seniors  in  the  evening. 
The  refreshments  served  at  the  break- 
fast consisted  of  coffee  and  rolls.  Over 
350  attended  and  received  badges,  dis- 
playing prominently  the  numerals  of 
their  classes.  These  were  provided  by 
the  Alumni  Association.  In  the  even- 
ing the  members  of  the  Faculties  of 
the  various  departments  formed  in  a 
receiving  line  in  the  booths  in  Water- 
man Gymnasium  and  received  the 
seniors  and  alumni.  Barbour  Gym- 
nasiimi  was  reserved  for  dancing. 

THE  CLASS  MEMORIALS 

In  addition  to  generous  gifts  to  the 
Michigan  Union,  the  senior  classes  of 
the  University  left  substantial  memo- 
rials in  the  shape  of  a  beautiful  marble 
clock  for  the  General  Library,  and 
two  portraits.  The  clock  was  pre- 
sented by  the  senior  class  of  the  Lit- 
erary Department  and  has  been  placed 
directly  over  the  delivery  desk.  The 
senior  engineering  class  presented  the 
Engineering  Department  with  a  fine 
portrait  of  Professor  J.  B.  Davis,  by 
J.  W.  Gies,  of  Detroit  The  formal  pre- 
sentation was  made  at  Class  Day  by 
Melvin  Dana  Baldwin,  and  was 
accepted  in  behalf  of  the  Department 
by  Professor  Denison.  The  seniors 
of  the  Law  Department  presented  a 
portrait  of  Professor  James  H.  Brew- 
ster, by  Percy  Ives,  of  Detroit,  to  the 
Department.  The  presentation  was 
made  by  John  S.  Tyrell,  chairman  of 
the  Class  Memorial  Committee,  on 
Wednesday,  June  17.  The  picture 
was  accept^  by  Dean  Hutchins  of  the 
Law  Department.

OBITUARIES 


WEBSTER  COOK 

Webster  Cook  was  bom  Sept  24,  1854,  at 
York,  now  known  as  Urania,  Mich.,  near 
Ann  Arbor.  His  early  education  was  re- 
ceived in  the  country  schools,  the  school  at 
Saline,  and  the  Ann  Arbor  High  School, 
from  which  he  was  graduated  in  1874.  He 
then  entered  the  University,  from  which 
he  was  graduated  in  the  Literary  Depart- 
ment in  1878.  Upon  graduation  his  first 
professional  appointment  as  a  teacher  was 
as  Superintendent  of  Schools  at  Union  City, 
Mich.,  which  position  he  held  for  three 
years.  He  then  occupied  a  similar  position 
at  Manistee.  In  1885  he  returned  to  the 
University,  where  he  received  the  degree 
of  A.M.  in  1886  and  of  Ph.D.  in  1887.  He 
then  became  instructor  in  history  in  the 
Detroit  (Antral  High  School,  where  he  re- 
mained in  various  capacities  until  1899, 
when  he  became  Principal  of  the  East  Side 
High  School  at  Saginaw.  In  1905  his  most 
important   work,  "Michigan,    Its    History 


and  Covemment,"  was  published,  and  at 
the  time  of  his  death  he  was  collecting 
material  for  a  school  history  of  the  United 
States.  He  also  helped  two  years  later  to 
found  "The  Michispan  Schoolmaster,"  a 
journal  which  immemately  took  a  high  place 
in  the  estimation  of  the  teachers  of  the  state. 
Mr.  Cook  was  a  member  of  the  committee  of 
the  National  Education  Association  ap- 
pointed to  consider  the  advisability  of  ex- 
tending the  high  school  course  to  six  ytsLrs. 
While  in  Detroit  he  was  president  of  the 
Teachers'  Association,  and  was  long  a  mem- 
ber of  the  State  High  School  Board  in 
Control  of  Athletics.  He  died  June  30*

graduated  with  the  Clasa  of  1880,  receiving 
a  degree  from  the  Law  Department  two 
years  later.  Immediately  upon  finishing  his

gree of  A.M.  from  the  University  in  1861,
