PROVES DELIGHT FOR WRITER
EVEN MORE TRAN FOR READER
(By Frances Stiles)
Judge says that college humor is
"irrepresible, joyous, irresponsible."
7t has summed up the situation in three
comprehensive words, for college,
humor is all that and nothing more.
Irrepressible-so much so that hu-
mor bursts forth in the class room
evoking laughter when some slightly
embarrasing thing has been said by
the youth with the ever ready blush.
It even lies lurking in the hushed
stillness of the library, waiting the
ghost of an excuse to escape. Irre-
pressible because there is' so much of.
it abroad slipping from the tangues of
students and hiding in every nook of
the campus, that a whole column a day
is penned up in the newspaper and
once a. month a 16 page spasm ap-
pears.
Humor Spontaneous
Joyous humor? Yes, because it is
without malice or forethought; it is
spontaneous and because it so tho-
roughly delights the originators, if not
those who take part in it. There is
no hesitation, no fear of consequences,
the joke will serve its term, the prac-
tical stunt at someone's expense will
be executed with keenest, most whole
souled delight, for college humor does
not suffer from the niceties ofl

3oth A nniversary
Formed Upon Suggestion of Michigan
Professor; Seven Schools Are
Members
(By Samuel Lamport)
The Northern Oratorical League,
funded in 1890 by Prof. Thomas Clark-
son Trueblood, head of the oratory de-
partment, celebrates its thirtieth anni-
versary this year.
The league was formed and the
first of its contests held in Ann Arbor.
Four Universitiesand colleges .om-
prised its members. They were the
University of Michigan, the University
of Wisconsin, Northwestern univer-
sity, and ,Oberlin College. To this
number have since .been added the
University of Iowa, the University of
Illinois, and the University of Min-
nesota.
Chicago Withdraws
The University of Chicago was a
member for 16 years but withdrew
from the league in 1908.
In the contests that have been held
between the various colleges, Michi-
gan and Northwestern universities
have been equally successful in stl'iv-
ifig after first hbnors, each university,
winning nine first and fou. second
places. Michigan won six c ecutive'
first places in the first six contests of
the league, following this with' an-
other first place after an interval of
a year.
Michigan's record in debating is far'
more illustrious. Out of 62 debates
held, 42 of her teams have been vic-
torious. The number of victories and
defeats and the names of the colleges
debated against are:
Wisconsin, eight victories, two' de-
feats; Northwestern, ten victories,
nine defeats; Minnesota, three vic-
tories, one defeat; Pennsylvania, three
victories, one defeat.; Chicago, four-
teen victories, eight defelts. Illnois,
four victories, one defeat.'
The purpose of the league, stated
in the first article of its constitution,
is "to elevate the standard of oratory
by holding annual contests." Contests
are held annually at the several col-
leges composing the league. The last
contest to be held in Ann Arbor took
place two. years ago. It will be held
this year at Madison, Wis.
The student receiving first honor is
awarded one hundred dollars annually
and the one receiving second honor
fifty dollars. These prizes have been
offered by Gov. Frank O. Lowden of
Illinois since 1901.
OFNAVAL TANK
Experimental, Apparatus Provides
Means of Testing Nautical In

GIVES MICHIGAN OPPORTUNITY
FOR IMPORTANT WAR WORK
By Pat Lovejoy,
One of the most unique pieces of
testing machinery in the University
is the experimental ship tank. To
manyrpeople this piece of apparatus
has real isignificance. To .others it
means little. It is for the edifica-
tion of these latter folks that the fol-
lowing facts are given.
"The shape or lines of a .-vessel,
together with the estimate of the
horsepower necessary to drive her
at a given speed, is the most inter-
esting,, and also the most difficult,
part of the naval architect's work,"
it is said.
For Experiments
It is the primary object of the
naval ,tank to perform experiments
upon various minature ships and to
determine from these experiments
data which will be of importance and
value in building the real model. In
order to do this, a tank 300 feet long,
22 feet wide, and 10 feet deep, was
built forming the east wing of the
New. Engineering building.
The channel of water is spanned
by a traveling car, on the under side
of which is fastened the model to be
tested. Current to propel the truck
along the rails, placed on either side'
of the .tank, is secured from a trolley$
and regenerated in order to secure
an even 'speed.
The models themselves are cast

eral fraternities bear out this state-

While $150' for tuition, class dues,
books, and other similar items would
probably be sufficient' for the ordin-

this would not hold true for the pro-
fessional courses in general. Especi-
ally will this apply next year when
the new schedule of fees will be in-
troduced.
Prices To Go Up
For those who are looking forward
it would be safe to predict that this
last mentioned' item must be boosted
next year to an average of $175 as a
minimum. This does not apply to
the professional schools.
While numerous boarding houses
throughout the city maintain rates
