KEYS TO MANY DOORS
there has been much talk of late1
>ut giving the professional man a
ader background of culture in or-
r to minimize the evils of special-
tion. In the discussion, the stu-
it who specializes, not only in a
>fession, but in an even narrower
.d, has been quite lost sight of.
ere are any number of men who,
ile avowedly takling a general cul-
al course, are actually- confining
,mselves almost entirely to one field
learning.
Culture has been defined as an ap-
eciation of the finer values of life,
fact which many of us are apt to
get in personal absorption in our
ecial work. There is a broad field
general knowledge in which a man
y and ought to roam, if he is to
ow life from any angle but his own.
man is a man before he is a student,
d if he is to provide resources with-
himself for after years, he must
ve awakened his intelligence in all
corners. The time will come when
e will not be answered in the terms
one science, and it is wise to hold
one's hand the keys to as many
ors as possible.

RODRIGO H. BONILLA, AUTHOR (F
"SPANISI DAILY LIFE," NOWA AN
INSTRUCTOR HERE
H ow Ann Arbor Got Its Name)
For the first time in some years
students of modern languages in the
university have the opportunity of
learning Spanish under d native Span-
ish teacher, Mr. Rodrigo H. Bonilla.
Mr. Bonilla, who is an accomplished
linguist, speaks English fluently, his
soft Spanish accent giving charm to
the harsh Saxon words, and in con-
versation talks interestingly of condi-
tions here and abroad.
Mr. Bonilla was born in Motilla, Cas-
tile, in 1875, and received his early
education at the Spanish Preparatory
Academy in 1887 and 1891, attending
the State Normal college, Valencia,
from 1891 to 1895. He studied a year
at the Business College of Barcelona
and in 1897 was made an official of ad-
ministration at Madrid.
He received the degree of A. B. at
the University of Madrid in 1901 and
later became professor of Spanish lit-
erature and history at the College of
Calderon de la Barca, Madrid. ,In
1903, he was decorated by the Spanish
government with the order of Alfonso
XIII for his work, "Project of Admin-
istration for a Poor Country." Mr.
Bonilla is also the author of "Spanish
Daily Life," a reader approved by the
board of education of New York state.
He has received the degree of A. M.
from New York university.
Last summer Mr. Bonilla was in-
structor in the language department
of Columbia university, and previous
to this he spent seven years at the
United States Naval academy, Annapo-
lis, where he was senior instructor in
the romance language department.
Mr. Bonilla married an American
girl, Miss Lucy E. Smith, formerly
professor of romance languages and
literature at Cornell college. Mr.
Vernon, Iowa. A pleasant little ro-
mance surrounds their courtship,
which took place while Miss Smith
was studying Spanish under Mr. Bo-
nilla at Madrid. They were married
in January, 1906, and it was after this
event that Mr. Bonilla decided to
make his home in this country.

Did you ever, in your hours of lei-'
sure, stop to wonder how Ann Arbor
got its name? Following is the version
given by .Iohn Quincy Adams Sessions,
a pioneer settler of this region. Mr.
Sessions came here in 1834, 10 years
after the founding of the little settle-
ment.
"The first settlers in this spot were
two men named Allan and Rumsey,
and their wives, who came here in the
fall of 1824. Both families were from
New York state originally, and they
had met by chance in Detroit. They
came here at the beginning of win-
ter, and as a temporary shelter of
scme kind was necessary, the two men
built a lean-to, or 'arbor,' which suf-
ficed until something more substan-
tial could be erected.
"After it had grown to include some
half a dozen dwellings, the matter of
a name for the little settlement arose.
As it happened, the given name of both

Mrs. Allan and « Mrs. Rumsey was
'Ann,' and accordingly the name de-
cided upon was Ann's Arbor, as being
reminiscent of the first shelter built
cn the site of the town. This name
was subsequently changed to Ann
Arbor.
"There has been some dispute as to
where this first habitation was erect-
ed," continued Mr. Sessions, "though
until about 20 years ago there was
never any questioning the fact that it,
was on the corner of Ashley and Hu-
ron, one block west of Main street.
The matter will be settled once and
for all when the local chapter of the
Sons of the American Revolution
meets next Tuesday. I don't think
there is any question but that that is
really the place where it was. The
other location, which some seem to
think is the proper one, is somewhere
near the corner of Ann street and
Division."

Most people do not know that Ann
Arbor might have been a city of
world-wide renown today, even with-
out the prominence which it has gain-
ed by being a university center. It
was while inquiries were being made
annent an old windmill out Huron
street, which suggested romantic pos-
sibilities, that this fact came to light.
It is the truth that romance lurks
aunseen in places where you least sus-
pect it. Thousands of people have
passed the Old Windmill near the edge
of town on Huron street, without a
second thought; freshmen have made
it the object of Sunday afternoon,
, strolls, and, in their ignorance ne-
glected even to peer through a chink
into its blaclt depths; co-eds have
merely wondered idly how many girls,
In the arms of their lovers on the lit-
tle balcony which encircles the struc-
ture near the top, have looked out over
the town and watched the moon rise.
They see in it nothing but an ancient
tumble-down windmill which has
stood in the same spot as long as any-
one can remember, and do not even
guess at the secrets which the solemn
creak of its broken* wheel is trying to
tell. It stands back from the road a
little way, in what was once the cen-
ter of a huge country estate Just be-
low it is a valley, deep and muggy,
around the edge of which stands a
row of mammoth willows that give the
apearance of having formed at one
time a fringe about a lake. Such in-
deed was the case. Long ago there
wa a considerable flow of water
through that hollow, supplied by a
s :rip wvich poured forth water clear
as crv\tal, and it was called Crystal
Lake.
The Mysterious Dr. Hale
One day a mysterious Dr. Hale ap-
peared in town, happened to see the
spring, and the next week saw-the
birth of a wonderful plan. In some
magic fashion the spring changed its
policy and now, instead of pure, clear
water, it gave a brackish, brown-col-
ored linid which Mr. Hale pronounced
-after careful .examination-a heal-
ing mineral. He proclaimed it a God-
send. a stroke of good fortune fur-
K nished by Nature to lead Ann Arbor
o xnae and fame. He donated a
bath-house as his share, and proceeded
to advertise the spring as a place giv-
ing water which, if you bathed in it
often eno'xig, would heal any disease
known to science, and he reaped a
harvest huge and vast from people
who came to his sanitarium from all
over the country. In gratitude he pro-
posed the name for the street on which
the Cure-All Palace stood-Bath street
- which is the name it bears to this
day.
