MENTORS-SENIORSWOW!
STUDENT DISAPPROVES OF CO-
BINATION BROUGHT OUT AT
CLASS MEETING
To the Editor of the Michigan Daily:
On October 20, at 10:00 a. m., the
senior engineer class held the first
annual assembly in room 348 of the
new engineering building.
On that occasion, the class presi-
dent introduced himself with a brief
but sensible speech, and presented the
class officers, after the usual formal
conventionalities.
It was then that our noble Dean
Cooley, with his ever pleasing char-
acter and pleasant smile, delivered
to us a friendly talk, whose very es-
sence was counsel, but whose good
and appealing words seem to repro-
duce themselves in my memory as I
now sit here thinking of them.
Yes, he was a father talking to his
grown old sons at a times when they
are going to leave him and enter into
the vast world of hardships and ex-
periences. The talk of Dean Cooley
was very appropriate, and it is with
pride and pleasure that I here repeat
his wise closing words:
"You are in your last year, and
soon to enter the world of struggle.
So far, you have been dependent, and
now is the time to begin to feel in-
dependent. Begin to develop the
power of self-reliance, and commence
to feel confident of a future latent in
yourselves."
Here is where I would like to ask:
How many of the seniors there pres-
ent realized the full meaning of his
talk, and how many reserve and still
retain the main idea and purpose of
his speech?
hI will venture an answer which
conviction tells me is fairly close. I
believe that the comprehensive power
of the class was .normal, but that the
retentive power was rather deficient,
for it behooves of distraction, after
the open-hearted appeal of our Dean
to "begin to develop self reliance and
confidence in yourselves," or in plain
words, begin to feel the responsibili-
ties of a man in yourselves, as soon
as he turns his back and leaves, to
show our appreciation by the ma-
jority of the class approving the
mentor system for the seniors. So it
is, that the 4th year engineer men
either did not retain, or else they
missed Dean Cooley's main point in
his talk, or they do, not yet under-
stand what a mentor system is.
You are now beginning your fourth
year and ought to know why it has
been the unanimous opinion of the
faculty to leave the question of a
mentor system for senior students to
the volition of the class. "They con-
sider us to have reached, at this time,
a state of maturity such that with our
college experience, we ought to have
by this time a clear conception of
the responsibilities that weigh upon
us and of the duties which bind us
with our college, our parents and
ourselves."
But, oh, no; we have not reached
that state yet, we want the mentor
system.

TRAFFIC OFFLCER STOPS PRES.
WILSON'S CAR IN MARYLAND
Fredericksburg, Md., Oct. 23,-
President Wilson's car was held up
today by a traffic officer when his
chauffeur tried to pass a team at a
crossing in such a way that he vio-
lated traffic regulations.
When the secret service men fol-
lowing the president's car drove up

and demanded to know why he had
been stopped the officer stated that
although he had recognized the pres-
ident it was his duty to uphold the
regulations, no matter who occupied
the car,.

OLD) PSYCHOLOGY S'TRUCTURE,
30) YEARS OLD, BEING RAZEDJ
Built in Times When Faculty Homes
Were Erected on the
Campus
With the passing of the old psy-
chology building, which now has been
nearly razed to make way for the3
proposed mall between the new sci-1
ence and the chemistry buildings, one
of the old landmarks of the campusi
is being removed.
This building, which dates back to
the time when it was planned to have
faculty men live on the campus, was
an addition to one of the four such
homes that were built more than
thirty years ago. After the original
idea had been abandoned, the struc-
ture now being dismantled was builtI
to provide a hospital for the homeo-
pathic school. Later, another addi-
tion--a large, square amphitheater-
was erected for clinical purposes.
With the erection of the first ho-1
meopathic hospital, the building which3
now serves as the west wing of the
general hospital, the homeops went1
to their new quarters and the build-r
ing was turned over to the use of
the pathology department under the!
direction first of Dr. Gibbs and later
of Prof. A. S. Warthin, the present
head of that department. The admin-
istration offices of the homeopathic
school were still kept in the old build-
ing, however, and, according to Dean
W. B. Hinsdale, of that. department,
a dog laboratory in use by the pathol-
ogists was much to be heard, even if
not seen, until the present medical
building was erected.
After the pathology department had
vacated, the building was again called
into use to relieve the congested con-
dition in the literary college, and was
fitted, up as a psychology laboratory
and quiz room. A year and a half
ago, when the ground for the new
natural science building was being
cleared, the major part of the build-
ing was torn down and the remaining
structire was moved sideways for 40
feet and used once more to serve tem-
porarily for the psychology depart-
ment.
A rumor has falsely stated that the
engineering college had next mort-
gage on the building and contem-
plated moving it over next to the sur-
veying building.

In the past weeks the band mem-
bers have ,aerificed many of their
evenings to attend drills for the im-
provement of their marching, and as
a result, the tactics of the band have
bettered in proportion.
Every member of the band realizes
along with every student on the
campus that the purpose of the band
is that of providing music for the
student body.
In order to do this under existing
conditions which allow of, at most,
two rehearsals a week, it is hardly
possible that the band have its mem-
hers selected on October 6 and ap-
pear as a perfectly balanced playing
organization on October 16, 10 days
later.
the members of the band are
earnest in their endeavors to give
Michigan the best band ever, and
they heartily appreciate the coopera-
tion of the student body in their ef-
forts.
