(By Jack Dakin)
The class of 1920 and Presi
Harry B. Hutchins are graduating
gether from the University.
Both mark the close of an histo
epoch-the beginning of a new.
years to come it is very probable
the names of this class and Presd
Hutchins will often be linked toget
for both have weathered the stc
period of war, and now many 1
with a sense of work well done.
What is doubtless the most unu
thing about 1920 is the fact that
probably the most broken up c
that ever stepped up for its si
skins. Just when its members
getting ready 'in the spring of 191
discard their toques, Wilhelm of
many told his submarine comman
to go the limit; the United States
dared war, and college seemed to
its attraction. So, when hosti:
subsided, 1920 found itself lar
made up of divers old ex-'l8ers
'19ers, as well as its original r
bers.
Personnel Changes
So the class that graduates
June is not identically the same
entered in the fall of 1916. Son
its members never returned to co
because they gave their lives in
country's cause. Numerous o
who did return lost a year or s
credit and dropped back to a 1
class.
This is the last class that can r
look back to and discuss with in
ity the "good old days" before the
and prohibition, when old St. Jol
Barleycorn reigned supreme in
vicinity of Main street.
But aside from such things,
have seen great changes and i
ments in the University. The
pletion of the Union, the erecti'
the Library, and other material
versity improvements have taken
during their four years. And
have had opportunity to feel th
ginning of the University's part i
work of reconstruction.

Michigan's graduating class for
1920 will take with it 291 of the fair"
sex, from which number many women'
of note on the campus and of high
scholastic attainments may be taken.
Campus offices have been well filled
by representatives of this class,
twenty-two made Phi Beta Kappa,
and the "tout ensemble"' are repre-
sentative of the spirit and ability of
Michigan women.
While each has, in her field, made
a place for herself in campus life and
will leave a vacancy in the groups
of which she is a member, there are
some particularly representative
women whose "lives and works"
speak for their influence and popu-
larity among the students.
There is Marguerite Chapin, who
has ably filled the office of President
of the Woman's League, and in this
connection visited many universities
and junior colleges throughout the
country, organizing W. S. G. A. and
inspiring the desire for higher educa-
tion in the hearts of young women
wherever she has gone. Beside this
large and time-taking activity, she

(J. E. AcManis),
Among the most notable contribu-
tions of the 1920 Senior class to the
University of Michigan has been that,
in the field of athletics./ Many of the
most famed names on Michigan Var-
sity teams will be found enrolled in
this class.'
The most serious blow at Michigan
athletics by graduation will be in
track, where no less than seven con-
sistent point' winners will be lost.
Captain Johnson, Cook, Cross, and Ba-
ker, all Conference and Eastern In-
tercollegiate point winners are in the
senior class. Messner, Beardsley, and

made in 1918, and in this same year

Law Graduates'
(By Thomas E. Dewey)
Graduating with the greatest num-
ber of different classes represented for
years, and with more than 75 per cent
of its members ex-service men, the
-1920 Law class, composed of 87 men,
is exceptional in many ways. .
The class is essentially military. Of
the 75 per cent of the men who were
in the service, figures show that more
than three-quarters of them held com-
missions ranking from captain in the
army and lieutenant in the navy. The
average age of the men is considerably
older than in ordinary years, and there
are six different classes of the Law
school represented among the ranks
of the seniors, mostly due, of course,
to the war.
Unusual Personnel
Dean Henry M. Bates of the Law
school says of the class:
"The men of this class are, probably
on account of the war, unusually ma-
ture, and have displayed unusual in-
terest in their work and earnestness
in study. Mature judgment in dealing
with campus and Law school pioblema
has been a prominent characteristic
of the men, and as a' class they have
shown an exceptionally fine spirit al
through. I feel a sincere regard foi
the men of this year and expect them
to domuch after they leave the school
"An unusually large number havE
already secured positions this year
and most of them with leading lav.
firms. This 'is due to two things,7
believe. First, there is a .greater de
mand for men skilled in the law tha]
ever before. Second, I believe muc
of this increase to be due to the grow

better way than by the fact that
men outnumbered the women b
