Dilley object on the campus essentially char- acteristic of Michigan, and of such make and quality as to be permanently prized,issued, say, by the Michigan Un- ion to seniors and alumni members, would serve to identify and tend to unify "Michigan men everywhere." The jriea has been worked out with great success at Princeton, and the button is more highly prized among Prince- ton men than their diploma. Just now there is an ideal opportu- nity to start such a plan. The athlet- ic association button will probably be transferred to the Union. The Union would do well to make use of the privilege this year, and exercise it on seniors and alumni during commence- ment week. Cuna Editors. News Editor ........Harry 'Z.

Generally the English idea of the function of athletics, is gaining cre- dence in this country, namely, that over and above the spectacular, athlet- ics offer fields for greater good; that their sphere of usefulness is not ex- hausted in. furnishing non-participants with a sane source for relaxation, a worthy end in itself, but that further, athletics offer the means to a still more desirable end, the physical up- building of the students at large. The idea contemplates the institu- tion. of a large number of sports, with the hope that every student may have the inclination and opportunity to be- come .proficient in some one. That, granted the fulfillment of this scheme, desirable results would follow, is evi- denced by the opinions of such men as Dr. William Anderson, of Harvard, who writes, "that athletes live longer than their non athletic brothers,. and that insurance, companies accept the athlete as a better risk." Already the eastern universities have come to this realization with the result, that most of them, including Harvard, Yale, Pennsylvnia and Cor- nell, who spend annually over $15,000 on minor sports, show alarge percent- age of their students engaged in one or more of some dozen different forms of athletic recreation. In Michigan, the converse might al- most said to be true. Heretofore, com- paratively few have participated act- ively in sport. It has ever been an oc- casion of difficulty for the association and various class managers to arouse sffficient enthusiasm to put out teams, other than the varsity. Of course none are to blame but the students; had they desired opportuni- ties for greater physical attainment, such would have been forthcoming. But, nevertheless, .it is well for those having this particular matter under guidance, to anticipate, possibfy to help bring about this fuller realization on the part of the students. At any rate, to give encouragement to any stu- dent expression consistent with such policy. THIRTY-TWO EDUCATORS HOLD BANQUET AT MICHIGAN UNION.

We are in the sweep of a movement toward unity. The time for the round- ion- up has come. By various means the sons of Michigan are being drawn back into the fold, and are beginning to cooperate for the common benefit of themselves and their Alma Mater. ew A fellow-feeling -between our alumni should be fostered and aided in every possible way. The sooner we, men of Michigan, come to feel that we are - sons of a common mother, the sooner will the true destiny of our university be realized. :rS One very effective means of promot- ing the fraternal spirit is the lapel iS button which is in use among several of the larger colleges and universities.
