The subscription price of the Daily has been reduced to $1.50 in advance for the rest of the year. Leave subscriptions at the Daily office or with P. C. Meyer, U. of M. News Stand. The Daily today begins the publica- tion of an official list of the period- icals received at the General Library. During the past year there has been great need of lists that could be keptt by the students for reference and con- sulted when they desired to know whether a certain magazine was taken at the library. Owing to pressure from other quarters, such a course was Imposible. Its is hoped that the publi cation begun in this number will obvi- alte this difficulty and at the same tie furnish a means of bringing our valu- able collection of periodicals more prominently before the public. Theo entire list, comprising some 450 publi- cations will be continued in consecu- tive numbers of the Daily until it is finished. It is hoped that those who use the library will take notice of this publication of the periodicals and keep the list where it can be readily con- sultetd, The attention of the Independents of the University, especially in the lit- erary department, is called to a few pertinent facts. The Daily was organ- ized as an Independent paper and was published on that basis for several years, but it Ias now outgrown that, and can claim to be thoroughly repre- sentative of all interests of the Uni- versity. The admission of fraternity men to the Board has proved a suc- cess in every way, and has materially benefited the paper, as a comparison of this year's files with those of any previous year will readily show. The basis of fraternity representation is similar to that of the different depart- ments-in the same ratio as their num- ber to the entire student body. The fraternities are now represented by the full number of editors allowed them by the constitution governing the publication of the Daily and there are several competent men desirous of election to the BoardWle are thereby barred. According to the rules of the Board there should be three additional Independent editors from the literary department, yet the competition for these places shows a lack of interest on the part of the Independents whichi is not commendable. Many students have the mistaken idea that previous newspaper experience is necessary in order to obtain a place on the Board. The rules of competition are not severeaand can easily be obtained at the Daily office any evening. No work is expected from an editor which will interfere with his college duties. There are also vacancies to be filled from the law and medical departments. Treasurer Hughes' report makes an excellent showing, especially when the advance which has been made in ath- letics in the last year is considered, The expenses of the different teams have been large, and the directors have been obliged to work under un- favorable circumstances. The ex- penses were heavy for each home game of the last football season and money was lost on a majority of these, while bad weather on the date of the Minnesota; game at Detroit made the receipts from that game fall consider- ably below the estimate. The Iar- vard game caused a large part of the deficit shown in this portion of the report. But the result is a full com- pensation. Michigan's stassding in wvestern athletics is a sutficient com- mendation of those who have had charge of these interests for her. They have done their work well and should recive a substantial support from the faculties and student body during the coming season of baseball and track wvork. The advance sale of tickets for the Remenyl benefit concert should be large enough to insure an enthus- iastic reception for the famous vio- linist. THE LEWIS COLLECTION. It Has Now All Been Hung In the Library Building. The Lewis collection is finally all placed. There are about 500 paintings and 50 pieces of statuary in the col- lection. Four hundred of the paint- ings have been crowded into the space upon the art gallery wails. The re- maining ones are scattered in various places about the library walls. Some of them are in the librarian's ron, some in the reading room and some in the east room. None have been taken out of the library building as it is the most fire-proof structure upon the campus. It is a matter of sincere regret thn the University has not a suitable place in which this valuable collection could be hung with some regard for effect rather than for space. As it is, they are "skyed," "floored," "cornered," and placed in all manner of conceivable positions beceause of the lack of the necessary space. The statuary is ao very much crowded and the aisles have had to he made very narrow. However, notwithstanding these dis- advantages, the collection is becoming a great favorite with the public. The average daily number of visitors is well over a hundred. Some of the' paintings that attract most attention are the following. "The Twins, by Baugnereau; "The Baby's Breakfast," Bogereau; "The Retreat, Sehreyer; "Sheep in a Storm," Sclerch; "The Knife Grinder," Massani; Grace Be- fore teat," Rudolph Jordan; "Sur- render of General Lee," Guillame; "A Lane in Mangy," les Hamen, Bon- heur. THE ART OF TEACHING. It is one thing to be a good dancer, another to be a good teacher. Mr. and Mrs. Ras Granger have studied the art of teaching dancing twelve years and have now perfected a simple mothod, wiereby the average pupil will learn the standard dances in one teil. Pupils received at any time, tihe term starting with first lesson. You learn without embarrassment as no visitors (parents excepted) are admit- ted.
