In responding to his toast at the re- cent Detroit banquet the Hon. William F. Quinby, '58, recently minister of the United States at the court of the Neth- erlands and president-elect of the De- troit association, gave the following rminicences "Recognizng the fact that at my time of life one has little to loo for- c ard to, your worthy president has asked me to 'look backward' and say a word on the University of forty years ago. The class of 1858 entered with s eighty-three, a number equalling the three upper classes combined. What- ever may be said of the class, it has at least this to recommend it, its loy- alty to the University. It has most faithfully kept, all these years, the class reunions. "One never forgets the impression made by the first sight of his Amsta Mater. On the Campus were six build- ings, the old North and South halls, now united by University Hall, the medical building, since enlarged, and four professors' houses, respectively or- c'pied by the president, Prof. O. E. Haven, Prof. Williams and Prof. Boise. There were in the literary department twoecourses, the classical and scientific the latter recently established, the, first class of two, the Harter brothers, grad- uating in 1855. The combined curricu- lum hardly equalled that of the ordin- ary village academy. The dormitory system had not been wholly eliminated, but speedily gave way to the needs of class rooms. Everything was of the most primitive character. Stodern im- provements had not yet made their ap- pearance. "At morning chapel all the students were assembled in one recitation room. Attendance was compulsory. The hour vas 8 a. m. Quite early enough on a cold winter's morning for those who lived far from the University."-Alum- nus. The U. of M. medical faculty an- nounces that diplomas will be granted tw good students in the senior class if they wish to enlist for the proposed war with Spain. Many members of fraternities are boiling over at President McKinley's delay, while the professors are jubilant. Prof. Worcester, wno ad- vocates war, is being liberally joshed by the rest of the faculty members. Ann AeberArgus: Miss Elsa Von Grace, teacher of pians) playing at the School of Music, has been engaged at soloist of the Boston Festival orchestra. She will appear with that organization in concerts at Madison, Wis., Mil- waukee, Wis., Saginaw, Mich., Ogdens- burg, N. V., Pittsburg, Pa., and other large cities. Ann Arbor's reputation as a musical center is greatly enhanced by having in her school of music such superb artists as Prof. Alberto Jonas and Miss von Grave have shown them- seves to be. President Harrison, of the U. of M. Anti-Saloon league, addressed a league rally at the Albion college chapel last night. The 200 students present voted unanimously to organize a league il the college. Mr. W. H. Wilcox has just returned from his home where he was called by the death of his mother. The law department is in session to- day in order that the spring vacation may begin Thursday evening. Work is progressing rapidly on the new law building. The Daily is having cuts of the building and of the two floors prepared. They will be run sime- time next week. NOTICE.
