WEBSTER VICTOR OVER ALPHA NU THE GHOST WALKS! / / J} i - . 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 (Continued on page 4.) # _ - _ Dvid, l1ohr,Witting and Klinger Are Chosen to Round Out Varsity 'I'eams.
