It is a pleasure to record the elec- tion of so able a man as "Mort" Sn- ter to the football captaincy. First of all, he is eminently the man for the place, fitted by the prestige his playing has won for him, both here and else- where, by his popularity with the team and the whole University and by his personal characteristics. The, too, Michigan can point to him withs especial pride as a product distinctly her own, a product of our new football regime. Here he played his first foot- ball and here he has steadily devel- oped into one of the best players the game has ever lad. The Daily cou- gratulates Captain Senter on his elec- tion and feels that the University is still more to be congratulated that scts a man was available for he place. FIRST SOCIAL BY '96.

It would plainly be a grave injury to the work of the semester if a considerable number of students should extend their vacation at Christmas and Easter by taking two or three days at the beginning and perhaps as many at the close of the recess. The faculty is confident that the students will see that it is necessary for all students to be pres- ent at all -the university exercises, if the work of the year is to be carried on with full success; "'In this connection it will also be remembered that the special rates given for the Chrisitmas holidays by the railroads begin on December 24th pnd close on January 2d.

Excuses for absence at the close of the re- cesses must be based on actual im- possility of reaching home before Christmas or Good Friday. Excuses for absence at the close of the re ccsses must be based on actual im- possibility of return. "'2. Any student who is absent without excuse from recitations tin- mediately preceding or following the Christmas or Easter recesses will be !txcluded from the siemester exam- ination in those studies from which he was absent, and will be required to take the examination at the close of the following semester.
