WE trust that tht agitation, over the lack of pfoptr collgt spirit in athletics in tht University of Michi- gan, begutn last eveting at tht net- ing of tht Young Men's Liberal Guild, will btbilt tht bginning of a thorough considration and dis- cussion of thec tatter by all trit Michigan mns. We beest it is un- questonably Ifrlitthat tht ote great drawback to tbt attaining by Nlich- igan of her proper place i all branches of athletics is thc lack of that general tntlhusiasm and interest that should prevade the entire stu- dent body. We can overcome the lack of a gymnasium, we can get along, if need be without as com- plete a system of training as a uni- versity of our standing should have, we can labor successfully agaitst other obstacles of like character, bt, one thing is certain, the Uni- versiy of Michigan, like every other stniversity, cannot attain the poi- tion among colleges that befits an institution of her reputation until her students shall act and feel as one man ia every under taking that con- cerns tile fair name of the whole university. It is a sad commentary on the condition of matters lire that mansy much smaller institutions, greatly inferior to us in every other respect, so surpass us in this respect. This is the reason that Michigan ties. The first will be in getting the men accept without a murmer, and various papers properly filed and almost as a matter of course, defeat bringing the case to an issue. Dur- at the ands of universities like ing the second semester the cases Minnesota and Wisconsin. The will be tried. The points in issue truth is, though much inferior to us will be decided, from a legal stand- in point of numbers, at these other point, all facts being taken as ad- colleges there is unity of purpose mtted. The advantage of this anid feeling.
