Corrects Errors Made by Reporter in
Story for Extra Edition; Gives

Editor of The Michigan Daily:
Permit an old graduate to !conr-
gratulate The Daily, a copy of which
has been sent to me by some kind
friend.
The great social event has certainly
developed from the less gorgeous form1
which it had 40 years ago. However,
in the article undertaking to give a
sketch of iits origin the writer has
shown a little tendency to draw upon
his imagination for his facts. The
first dance under the name of the
Junior Hop was given earlier than.
1877 for my college memorabilia,
which happens to be at hand, con-,
tains the invitation (engraved by Tif-
fany) and the program for the Juniort
Hop given February 18, 1876, under
the auspices of the class of 1877. Even
this was not the first Junior Hop and1
there were far more than 20 couples
present, as I know from having been}
in attendance myself.
The following year the Junior Hop1
occurred not on February 17, but onj
February 9, given by the class of 1878,
and there were fully 75 couples pres--
ent at that time. Perhaps the sub-
ject is not an important one but since
college tradition ought to be founded
on as much Actual fact as possible, it
has occurred to me that you might be
interested in this correction in the
social history of our common Alma
Mater.

RECOMMEN1)S THAT HE LEAVE
Editor, The Michigan Daily:
I was very much amused, and at the
same time rather disgusted with the
"logic" set forth by Mr. Klann in his
communication Tuesday morning. If
George Washington could have arisen
from his grave and could have read
the communication appearing on his
birthday, I have no doubt but what
there would have been h--- to pay.
When I was first given the opportup-
ity of attending grammar school I
was taught that "Patriotism" was the
foundation of all government, all civ-
ilization, and all progress, and that
a patriot is one who is zealous for his
country's freedom or rights. Further-
more, I am proud to admit that my
"intellect" has not, as yet, developed
beyond the bounds of patriotism. When
it does (if it ever should) I trust that
I may receive the tender attention of
government nurses, in some govern-
mental psychopathic institution.
I believe it has been stated by a
very well known medical authority
that a most excellent index of a man's
character is the degree of "adolescent
braggadocio" he assumes when pass-
ing from late childhood into early man-
hood. If one places his intellect too
Ihigh it is liable to be blown away.
There is far more to be learned from
a railroad locomotive than from an
inflated balloon, even though the
former is very commonplace, and the
latter an oddity.
Please let it be understood that I
do not wish to ague with Mr. Klann.
An American citizen cannot in honor
enter into friendly argument with one
who scorns patriotism, and who
"would rather live under the paternal
socialism of the hated Kaiser than
under our own corrupt inefficient gov-
ernment." If Mr. Klann as a subject
of the Kaiser should make such a
statement regarding the imperial gov-
ernment, I am afraid he would live
only a short while.
It may be true that our government
is corrupt and inefficient, but at the
same time what government in the
world is less corrupt and less ineffi-
cient than our own? Is it not our
duty to seek the remedy for such con-
ditions rather than sneeringly criti-
cize the government of which we are'
a part?
Mr. Klann is not alone in his anar-
chistic indifference to national wel-
fare,-if he were he would never dare
to make the statements already re-
ferred to,--and personally I feel that
the self-centered spirit of antagonism
for the government can be born of
nothing less than treason.
"The Melting Pot" is truly a good
name for America, and it seems that
we are now beginning to suffer be-
cause of previous laxity of immigra-
tion restrictions. Certainly no de-
scendants of colonial America would
ask "Why should I be patriotic?" or
"What has America done for me?" If
Mr. Klann finds America a poor in-
vestment he is at liberty to ally him-
self with some of the less "corrupt"
governments of Europe. A person
should not get any more out of an
investment than he sees fit to put
into it.

LOOK FOR TEMPORARY QUARTERS
In less than four months the old
Michigan Union building will be torn
down to make way for a bigger and
grander home for -Michigan men. Such
are the plans of the building commit-
tee, which convened Saturday for a
general discussion of the building of
the new Union.
Plans for the proposed new struc-
ture are now in the hands of the archi-
tects to receive their finishing touches
and in about three months they will
be ready to be submitted to the va-
rious contractors for their respective
bids. According to an official state-
ment. the new building is expected
to be completed and ready for occu-
pancy about a year from this coming
September, the opening of the 1917-
1918 school year.
The old building will be razed about
a week before commencement, after
which work on the new building will
begin immediately. The temporary
quarters for the Michigan Union have
not yet been decided upon. It was
first planned that the temporary quar-
ters could be put on the north side
of the present Union building, but on
further investigation it was found that
such quarters would interfere with
the construction work . of the new
building.
The residence just opposite the Un-
ion building will be demolished about
April 1. This was formerly the resi-
dence of I. K. Pond, the architect of
the new Union. Mr. Pond has ben
secured also by Wellesley to draw up
plans for a large campus structure.
