It will be many years before the University of Micihigan can appreci- ate all that the recent gift of Fred- erick Sterlns means. It was cer- tainly not merely to satisfy men's curiosity that Mr. Stearns donated that invaluable collection of old musical instruments. Few certainly will ever hear the straiss of music capable of being put forth from thosee curious pieces of mechanism. It is from the educational standpoint that their value will be ultimately appre- ciated. he student of archeology, of drawing and painting, of history, of literature or science who is so for- tunate as to select Ann Arbor as his place of study will go far and look long and then in vais to find a re- source of its nature equal to the one which will soon find a home in our museum. The time for the annual and lengthy discussion in the various class meetings as to the necessity of making the small contribution for purehasing caps and sweaters for the class football teams is at hand. As usual, the number is large of those who can not appreciate the bit of philosophy, "It is more blessed to give than to receive." But leaving the philosophy of the class tax aside, this question as to the support of class teams touches a vital spot inr college athletics. The gospel preached by the supporters of college athletics for years has been that the benefit to be derived from college football and baseball is not simply obtained by the few who make up the 'Varsity teams and reserves each year, but by the many who have a chance to playy on the several class teams. This must not be lost sight of. Athletics are for the many and not for the few. Thse thousands of dollars spenrt each year for the support of the 'Varsity teams is wrongly spent if it does not result in encouraging ath- letic sports generally among the student body who n ed the benefit. The experience of the past few years has also shown that lcrss athletic teams more than an any other thing has kept alive class spirit. About the only contests between classes in which the classes as a whole are in- terested are those on the athletic ield. As a means, then, of keeping alive class spirit and interest, the class teams deserve support. Let the little necessary encouragement of class teams be cheerfully given. Proflessor Kirchner Receives an Oation. On Wednesday, Prof. Kirchner completed his course of lectures be- fore the senior law class on Private International Law and before the freshman law class on Marital Rela- tions At the close of his lecture in the morning he gave the seniors, in a neat address, several pieces of valu- able advice. He urged especially that the men going into practice from the class of '99 would take with them high moral and legal idea. "Never," said he, "should you let the interests of your clients weigh more than your own interests as honorable men. At the conclusion of his lectures in the afternoon, the freshman also were the recipients of the professors best wishes and some wholesome advice. You are entered, he said, upon a pro- fession that means a great deal of hard work. Above all take care of your bodies for you will never know until you are actually in the midst of a large practice what great demlands there will be upon your physical en- durance. Do your work faithfully duriig the nine months of school and when summer comes, throw you books aside. Prof. Kirchner received a hearty ovation from each of the classes. A Narrow Escape. Several inquisitive studnts of the Law Department came near getting into trouble in the amphitheater of the homeopathic medical building last night. A post mortem in the subject of pathology was being held and tesenor medics aloe sere sup- posed to be present. rThree lass, however, were on hand to take in the operations and found seats near the top of the amphitheater. They were recognized by some ac- quaisted among the medics, who immediately began circulating a paper bearing the words "posmortem on the laws in the top two rows after the lecture."''The stended victims suspici ned the trouble from afar and made their escape just before the demonstrator had finished his work. The shops of the mechanical labo- ratory of the University, are setting up a turretted turnirg table, which hen completed still ire worh $1,- 200 Thle designs swere tade by Prof. C. G.
