McDOUGALL.- The Board of Regents in making Manager Baird a faculty member in full charge of outdoor athletics has taken the most important and far- reaching step in the progress of Michi- gan's athletic policy. After chasing the will-o'-the wisp of undergraduate management for yeads the Athletic Association several years ago began to recognize its nature and to look about for a more consistent and efficient plan. To be sure, the last year or two of the old system began to see a faint outline of a consistent policy through the predominating influence of certain faculty members and resident gradu- ates. But it was elusive and unsatis- factory at best. It was conceded on all sides that there must be some expe- rienced head of matters athletic, who continued in office from year to year to direct all branches of sport. Thus it came about that a graduate manager was named to manage all outdoor teams. Before his appointment each branch of sport had its separate manager. Each was conducted wita- reference to the rest and often one was at positive enmity to the other. The result of a single, year of graduate management did so much in the direc- tion of uniformity as to surprise even its warmest advocates. But the change was not much more than a lessening of the degree of the evil. Various adverse interests still made themselves felt at times, and the graduate manager was at the mercy of a board of constantly changing complexion. If he had a plan which would make each branch work harmoniusly for the benefit of the other he could not put it in effect unless it was sanctioned by the board. Far is it from the trush to say that the board was dominated by selfish interests or ruled by inefficiency, for at times it displayed remarkable disinterestedness and foresight. But there would be no guarantee of any stability. Guided by the advantages already secured, strong influences set to work to secure the next advance by putting the control in the hands of the faculty. Equally strong opposition apppeared to champion the cause of the undergrad- ate. It was urged that the life would b taken out of athletics, and that the director of athletics would become in a sense a tyrant And these objections found many supporters.

The resignation of Manager Baird forced immediate attention to the needs of the situation. As aresult the Athltic Board pledged itself to the securing of faculty recognition. The board of con- trol outlined a plan which has in the maian been followed. Now that the faculty members will have immediate control of all athletics it is generally conceded that Michigan's prospects for a higher place in athletics is assured. Many objectors still remain however, who claim that with student influence in the management reduced to such an extent as to leav it prac- sesinax moeelas bsetdp ospms to birke ticaly nothing, interest in athletics wilt decline. This no doubt has a lage truth at bottom, but only in so far as the management becomes dictatorial and regardless of popular feeling. As in all other matters if this control is exercised in a wise and judicious nar- ner, guided by the wishes of the under- graduate body so far as such a coueve ie consistent with efficiency and unity of purpose, it cannot fail to arouse a greater confidence and interest in athletics. Nov. 29, at 5 p. m., in the Physical Laboratory, Mr. E. C. Woodruff will address the Physical Colloquium on "Methods of Rating a Free Pendulum." The November meeting of the A. A. Med.. Club was held on Wednesday evening of this week. Dr. Vaughan read the formal paper of the evening, the subject which was "Bacteriology for the General Practitioner." Atet this a general discussion of the paper followed. The cl ob is growing rapidly in numbers and the members are dis- playing a very active interest in the meetings, which are held monthly.

University of Michigan students will be given a chance to eat their Thanks- givingdinner at their homes if they sishs to pay one and one-third fat-s over the Michigan Central road for the round trip. The Central Passenger as- sociation did not approve of the Michi- gan Central's action in giving the col- lege bys this rate, but that road wiii make the rate just the same.rEvery- thing that the Michigan Central rod does is open to the approval of the Central Passenger association so far as cutting rates is concerned, and is this matter the Michigan Central road has manifested its intention to stand by the college boys whether the Central Passenger association approves of its action or not. Heretofore a rate of one and a third fare for the round trip has been made for Ann Arbor students for the Thanksgiving, Christmas and East- er. vacations by the Michigan Centeal road, -and the same rate will be made this year.
