Eighty trades, professions, and avoca-
tions are followed by the fathers of
Michigan students. Only 3,570 stu-
dents answered the optional question
of their fathers' occupation, but AReg-
istrar A. G. Hall states that the per-
centages would be little altered if sta-
tistics had been obtained from the
whole student body.
The sons of the farmers head the
list, with a total of 669. The super-
abundance of the sons of the plowed
f1eld, is accounted for in the fact that
a greater pqrtion of Michigan's student
body is drawn from the great agricul-
tural states of the west. The mer-
chants stand second in having 527 rep-
resentative sons on the Ann Arbor
campus. Mechanics' sons to the
number of 244, are enrolled in the
university and they have a plurality
of 26 over the offsprings of the pro-
pounders of the law. The manufac-
turars stand fourth with 226. After
the sons of the lawyers, come those of
clerks and salesmen, who total 203.
The fathers of 126 students are en-
gaged in public service, both national
and civic. There are physicians' sons
to the aggregate of 123 on the cam-
pus of the international state uni-
versity, and clergymen's sons to the
number of 116, help to make up the
cosmopolitan body which attends the
classes oil the University of Michigan.
In rapid succession, follow the con-
tractors, ivth 114 and the dealers in
real estaae with only one less.
The first of occupations below the
century 'mark, in number of sons at
Michigan are those of railway em-
ployees and teachers, who are both
represented by 95. Then come the
sons and daughters of the bankers
who number 78. The dealers in tim-
ber, both in the lumbering stage, and
in the finished product, have 67 sons
as students on the campus. The phar-
macists, civil engineers and insurance
men are closely bunched in the long
and variegated list, with 42, 41, and
40, offsprings respectively. Then fol-
low thea sons of the dentists wtih 28
dealers in produce with 27 and labor-
ers and miners with 26 each. The
hotel men number only on less, and
lead the brokers by an even half doz-
en.
From here on, are represented oc-
cupatians of every type and charac-
ter. Among the most prominent o'
the professional vocations are adver-
tising men, architects, marine an
electrical engineers, journalists, pho-
tographers, authors, engravers, illus-
trators, lecturers, and missionaries
The undertakers were also mentioned
among the professional men, as hav-
ing sons at Michigan.
The fathers of ten Michigan students
are members of the United States ar-
my and navy; twelve of them sit upon
the judicial bench; three of them rep-
resent the people of the United States
in Congress and two occupy the gu-
bernatorial chair. A single sheriff's
son is pursuing studies at the Univer-
sity of Michigan.
Under the caption of personal ser-
vices are mentioned barbers to the
number of eight,- hotel chefs, and pi-
ano tuners to the total of two. The
fathers of seven students are engaged
in the extraction of oil and natural
gas from the earth; five are estimators
of timber, six are florists and one is
a fisherman.
Among the manufacturers come the
chemists with six, the creamerymen
with two less, printers with 13 and

ter than Alpha Nu. L. D. David, '14L,

gold medal provided by the family of

sel A. Alger, of Detroit.
The debates with Chicago and
Northwestern take place on January
16, 1914. The question is, Resolved:

schedule of minimum wage for un-
skilled labor; constitutionality con-
ceded." Michigan has the affirmative
against Northwestern at Ann Arbor,
and the negative against Chicago, at
Chicago.

tary. There was a tie for treasurer,

neering classes.

Y. M. C. A. SPEAKER BEGINS
TALKS TO FRIvERNITY MEN
Edward C. Mercer, who will speak
for the university Y. M. C. A. next
Sunday, arrived yesterday and began
his program of talks to the men in the
various fraternity houses. At noon he
spoke at the Sigma Chi house, at 6:45
o'clock he addressed the members of
Trigon and at 9:00 o'clock in the ev-
ening he spoke at the Delta Upsilon
house. His schedule, however; is not

made.

fice hours for interviews, in Prof.

will be arranged at the meeting of the
Mimes to be held at the Michigan Un-
ion Tuesday night. A meeting of art-
ists interested in the competition will
be held next week, and the contest
will be explained. The men will be
given until after the Christmas va-
cation to complete their drawings. The
contest will be practically the same
as last year, a prize of $10.00 being
offered for the most meritorious de-
sign.
At the meeting Tuesday, the book
will receive its first reading. The op-
era has been printed and is in the
hands of most of the members of
the Mimes. The author, Ray Melton,
'13, will be present to interpret the
lines.,
The Mimes will also arrange for the
cast rehearsals. Preliminary trtyout
will probably be held before Christ-
mas vacation, and the prospective cho-
rus characters will be given an op-
portunity after vacation. The weed-
ing-out process will be employed, am
the men will be given several chances
before the final choice is made.
Fresh Lits to Start New Practice.
That every member of the fresh li1
class must speak to his classmates
when meeting them on the campus
has been decided by the tradition com-
mittee of the 1917 class. The commit-
tee believes that non-acquaintance
should not be a barrier, and that a
cap or toque is sufficient basis for a
"hello." The lit class will urge other
freshman classes to help them in es-
tablishing the new social service tra-
dition.
Librarian Leaves on Speaking Trip.
Librarian T. W. Koch will leave
Ann Arbor tonight for Chicago, where
he will give a lecture tomorrow, be-
fore the National Council of Teacher
of English. Monday Mr. Koch wil
give an illustrated lecture on the "Arts
of Illustration," at the University of
Wisconsin, and on Tuesday he will
lecture at Notre Dame on, "College
and University Libraries."

DISCUSSION SECTIONS TO
BE USED IN ECONO3ICS.
Beginning with the second semes-
ter, Prof. W. H. Hamilton, of the eco-
nomics department will introduce a
new idea with his course in political
economy 2, by supplementing his lec-
tures with informal discussions on va-
rious economic, political and social
problems.
Students in the course will be di-
vided into sections of six persons each,
and will meet every three weeks in
either the rooms in the economics
building or in some of the students'
rooms. Under the guidance of a num-
ber of juniors and seniors who are ad-
vanced in the courses and who have
had experience along these particular
lines of instruction, the various sec-
tions will discuss such questions as1
the tariff, currency reform, the trust
and labor problem, government of in-
dustries, etc. More than 20 seniors
and juniors have already offered their
services.
