of AL VOL. I.-No. 39. UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1891. The Inlander. The November number of the Inlander appears this morning. Its fifty pages of reading matter present a great variety of interesting subjects. The leading article, "A Perversion of History," by Henry A. Chaney, lit'69 and law '71, is somewhat sen- sational in character. It investigates the circumstances under which the famous "Ordinance of '87" was passed and comes to several conclu- sions that will be a revelation to students of history. Mr. Chaney has evidently made the inside histo- ry of the framing of the "Ordinance of '87'' the subject of personal in- vestigation and research continued through several years. His argu- ments are clear and convincing, and arranged in lawyer-like fashion. His conclusions, though at direct vari- ance with the commonly received account, as well as the ingenious theory of the erudite author of Poole's Index, are unquestionably a valuable contribution to history. The frontispiece is a photo-en- sravin" of Congressman William C. I aybury. The accompanying bio- graphical sketch is witty and enter- taining. W/ie are glad to see the Inlander begin a series of articles oin our older and more prominent alumni. The Inlander is certainly the only place for such a series., Our alumni should receive more attention in this line than they have in times past. "Cicero as a Wit,'' by Prof. Kelsey, is full of the bright and sparkling humor of the witty Roman orator. "Carlyle in Lilli- put" is an excellent review of Dr. Filucgel's bloc/li/remon Carlyle, which has been recently translated by Miss Jessica G. Tyler, the daughter oi Prof. Moses Coit Tyler, of Cornell, who formerly occupied the chair of English Literature at Ann Arbor. "Lacune in our College Curricu- lum, I" is evidently the first of a series of parodies or burlesques. It ridicules certain methods of scientific investigation. "The Wall Flower" is a little poem written in "Ted" Smith's happiest vein. "The Forg- ing of a Phrase" is a bit of interest- ing research. Such original investi- gations on the part of students are greatly to be commended. "The Ballad of Foot-ball" is a clever and witty poem by Edwin T. Miller. The story "What Luck," by Miss Ellen E. Garrigues, is long drawn '93 Lit. Defeats '94 Lit. out, and lacks unity of conception, c __ __ he class game between 904 lit. i 0 UR as well as dramatic movement. It is not up to her usual standard. The poem "On a Worn-out Fan" by2 Elsie Jones Cooley, is a very pretty little idea worked out in delicate 1 and graceful verse. heon J. Rich- t ardson has done wel l with one of the less well-known classical stories, in, a poein called Biton and Cleobis. But the feature of the Inlander that pleases us most is the Michigan , Verse. It has often been spoken of, with regret that the U. of l. has not of late turned out good verse, of a light character, such as has made the Brunonian a national favorite among college papers. The Michigan verse in the November Inlander shows conclusively that Ann Arbor stu- dents are capable of writing as goodt verse as any college students in America; that the talent has been here all along but the medium of expression has been lacking. The poems of Arthur H1. Holmes show great skill in verse making; Kent1 Dunlap's "Song'' should be set to .i - ----- --ll. l' Y I:t l i , and '94 lit. was played on the camp- us yesterday afternon. It was a spirited game, and after the first fif- teen minutes was closely contested, NEW honors being about evenly divided. Shields captained '94 and Nicholson the '9; team. The game was called in the middle of the second half on PRICE account of darkness. The first touch-down was made by Cleverdon. ihe ball was rushed by '93 within LIST '94's 25-yard line. Nicholson kick-1 ed it over the goal line on three downs. Williams fumbled the ball- and Cleverdon fell upon it. the ball was punted out inside 94 s five-__ yard line. Score, 4-0. Shields was forced to make a safety in the next scrimmage. 6-o. Soon after, Conklin made a touch-down around the right end.-so-o. No goal.
