consistent with the demands of the
military situation. It is said that the
meetings and traditions of the stu-
dents are of as much importance to
the newcomers as their early college
education, for through these the fresh-
man is told just what is expected of
him.
Even though the student council
does decide that class meetings and
elections will be held as usual, they
will not hold such until the present
epidemic is over. The plans as to the
resumption of the class assemblies to
be held this year have not yet been
made. Opinions vary in regard to
the holding of these gatherings. Yet
all the Michigan customs are asked
for providing theyare in accordance
with the military rules and regula-
tions.

family and mother, to whom he always
affectionately refers as "dear mother."
An incident with former Crown
Prince Alexis toy-gun revealed to
Nicholas the changed conditions.in the
army. He tells of it in the folloiwng
entry:
"I finished sawing the tree trunks
of the first section. Alexis was play-
ing with his gun on the island. The
sharpshooters who were walking in
the garden noticed it and asked the
guard officer to take it away from
him, and carried it to the guardroom.
Later it transpired that it was taken,
for some reason or other, to the Town
hall. Fine officers who dare not re-
fuse common soldiers!"
