A Canoe Club. The University of Michigan has en- tered upon a new branch of athletics. In future years the student of the Uni- versity will have opportunities to see the 'Varsity crew trying to win honor and fame for its Alma Mater. This new branch of athletics is boating. The beginning of aquatics at Michigan has taken the form of a Canoe Club organ- ized by the students. The members of the club have been at work for some time completing their organization, and have had a, number of canoes made, many of which are already upon the water. The club will have sa private boat house built at the foot of Main st., on the Huron rover, where they will have their course. A mile and a half course is easily obtainable by tear- ing out the old upper dam, which has already been condemned by the author- ities. There are sixteen canvas canoes al- ready upon the river, and eight others are being made and will soon be ready for use. At a recent meeting of the club the following officers were elected: President, John E. Felker, '99 M.; vice_ president, L. H. Hayes; secretatry, Miss Felker; treasurer, Wm. E. Stowe, '98 L; commodore, A. S. Kepner, '98 L. It is the intention of the members of the club to have races this spring. One week from tomorrow, Saturday, June 4, they will have a grand regatta. There will be several races of different dis- tances, and prizes will be given to the winners. The object of the regatta is to arouse an interest among the stu- dents on the subject of boating at the University. A proposition will be sub- mitted to the Athletic Association which, if accepted, will give the entire control of the club to the Athletic Board, and will make boating as much a branch of athletics here as tennis or baseball. It is not known what action the Board will take in regard to the matter, but the prevailing sentiment among the students favors some plan by which this new sport may be given a place in athletics at Michigan. Law Professors Will Not Go. With the announced departure of In- structor Hughes to accept a. professor- ship at Illinois, rumor has been rife con- cerning contemplated resignations of Profs. Mechem and Wilgus. Concerning the former, the Daily can say on the best of authority that Prof. Mechem has received no call elsewhere, does not contemplate resigning from the faculty and will be found at his old post next year. Prof. Mechem's ability is so well Last night the Oratorical Association gave a Gladstone memorial service in University Hall. There was but a small crowd there. As Pres. Hutchins was unable to be present, Pres. F. It. Bow- ers, of the association, presided. The following speakers responded: "Glad- stone, the Scholar," Whitman; "Glad- stone, the Reformer," Lathers; "Glad- stone, the Political Campaigner," Al- bright; "Gladstone, the Theologian," Wiers; "Gladstone, the Statesman," Berkebile; "Gladstone, His Character and Influence," Sadler. Simons and Dillon were not present to speak. The tousle was furnished by L. L. Renwick and Miss Florence Hayes, of Detroit. The latter was very warmly received.
