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. 25 cents--any part of the city.

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.

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."
