The Detroit Alumni Association of the University has consented to give a cup for the winners in the intersociety debates. The cup is a large one fifteen inches high, of beautiful design, and has sufficient room to engrave the name of the winning society on for 20 years. The society winning the debating series each year will have its name en- graved on the cup and keep it until it is won away from it by another society in future contests. The society whose name appears most often il the 20 years will at the end of that tite be given the cup perma- nently as a trophy. Thus far this year the Adelphi has defeated the Webster, and the Jeffersonian the Alpha Nu. These two winners will meet it final debate for the first place on the cup on Friday, May 12. The Great Band. Last May Mr. Charles A. E. Harriss brought Lieut. Dan Godfrey and his British Guards Band out from London to Canada. The en- gagement entered itto was for three weeks. The success was so stupend- ous that the engagement was extend- ed to seven weeks, duritg which time some 80 concerts were given in the Dominion, at which over 223,000 persons paid admission. The receipts it Montreal, were in excess of $6,000 whilst the receipts it Toronto ap- proximated closely to $10,000, prob. ably the largest receipts ever earned in o y two days by any other milt- TO R Y LIEUT.

It is really admirable, nuch of its excellence being due to the skill of the principal solo instruments. It is seldom that the public is privileged to hear such musical cornet playing as Mr. Kettlewell displays, whilst Lieut. Godfrey's familiarity with the tastes of the American public seems to be complete, and much pleasure can be counted upon from is visit. PROGRAM. 1. Overture, "Robin Hood"...

The rumor has been persistently circulated that Dean Hutchins of the Law Department had been offered and had accepted the presidency of Iowa University. Dean Hutchins has gone West and will probably not return until Sunday, so that no in- formation could be secured from him. Mrs. Hutchins denied the whole story and said: "I do not believe there is anything in it." Secretary Johnson of the Law Department said he be- lieved Dean Hutchins had received a very flattering offer from Iowa, but did not know whether lie would ac- cept it. The Washtenaw Evening Times re- ceived a telegram from Secretary Haddock, of the Iowa State Univer- sity, at noon yesterday, in which he stated that the presidency had not been tendered to Dean Hutchins, nor considered at all. Coning from Iowa City this information would seem to be correct. It would be wel- come news here. There is no foundation in the stories that Prof. Knowlton was to become dean of the Illinois Law School, and that Prof. Mechem was to go to Harvard. Prof. Knowlton when asked by the DAILY in regard to the matter said that was the first he bad heard of it, and that be had not been approached on the subject of going to Illinois, Normalites. The next Normal Club meeting will be held at the home of Mr. Soule,, 708 South University Ave., Fridayt evening April 28. NO SOPHMORES. Freshmen Not Disturbed in Their Annual Banquet.
