OUR TWENTY-THIRD BOW. : Out of a confusion and profusion f newly-cut copy paper, rusty type- writers, and 'eager "cubs," The Mich- igan Daily extends inky fingers to you with best wishes and the same old stereotyped welcome. Still thrilling from its wonderful Seventy-Fifth birth- day Anniversary, the University is al- ready swinging down the last lal to- ward a century of achievement. To increase rather than retard that mo- .mentum is the heritage-the new per- sonnel of the University is to share, and the responsibility it must shoul- der. In its own small way, your studefA newspaper hopes to meet its obliga- tions and its duties, fairly and square- ly. It will strive to make its news columns bright as well as accurate, and free from prejudice and coloring. As in the past, its space is open to you for your comment and criticism and discussion. Editorially, it entertains the same ambitions. Enemies will not be welcomed, but will be expected. If there are no critics at the close of the year's administration, we will con- sider the administration a failure. In commending, suggesting, or condemn- ing, as the occasion seems to demand, we anticipate conflicts in opinion, but expect a broad-minded effort to ex- tract the grain of truth our position may contain. As a major premise, we hope to make our University a little better and broader and grander, and in re- turn for pledged fidelity to this cause,, we beg indulgence for shortcomings and mistakes. HARRISON STANDISH SMALLEY Hard Work Boosts Membership List up Over 500 Mark. Increased efficiency and well directed advertising have had the same effect in regard to membership in the Wom- en's League as in the Union. With the membership committee working since last week Thursday, the mem- bership has now reached a total of over 500, as compared with 175, the highest previous number. "This is a phenomenal increase," stated Dean Jordan last evening, "but, of course the league has been deserv- ing and has worked hard, consequent- ly the result is not entirely unexpect- ed. ".We are more than pleased with the increase; and yet we have hopes that the number will be largely in- creased before the campaign ends," de- clared Winifred Mahon, the president of the league. I)R ALBRIGHT OF ARGENTINA IS I)IRECTOR OF OBSERVATORY Dr. Sebastian Albright, formerly of the Lick Observatory and for the past four years an instructor at the Cordo- va observatory in Argentina, has been appointed director of the university during the absence df Dr. W. G. Hus- sey. Dr. Hussey is now located in South America where he is directing the work of perfecting a cooperation scheme between the local station and the La Plata observatory in Argentna. -THE SCINTILLATOR- Antique carpet and oil-cloth designs are very popular on the cravats of our best dressers this season.

Have the rope jerked quickly from behind. The effect is singular. The pole seems to fall forwards and the wires to emit saffron-tinted lunar systems.

The significance of his loss will deepen and intensify in the days to come, for personalities such as his can only gain in beauty with time and the emphasis of ab-' sence. The nation has lost a citizen of its highest type; the University of Michigan, a son who gave his every ounce to, the upbuilding of her fame and the instruction of her youth for lives of service and usefulness in the world beyond the campus. His work has won him a high place in the field of science; but he will gain his great- est reward in the inevitable fruits of The Proper Place to Take Your Lady Friend for dinner, luncheon or refresh- mIents is Mack's Tea Room w I E~ngineer 's Drawing Lamp.
