Burton as president of the University, Michigan may resume her policy of progress with a new confidence. The restlessness that predominates during a period when an organization has no. active head is bound to be injurious.. The members of the or- ganization'as well as .the retiring executive often fail to make progressive moves fearing that they will act in opposition to the ideas of the incoming ad- ministration. The whole organization lies dor- mant. A condition exists such as the industrial world finds itself in today because the peace treaty 'ha~s not been signed. The University has beeti, looking for a man ca- pable of filling the chair of the president of one of the most famous state universities in the United States. The period was one of unrest and at times was embarrassing. Although we do not know the definite. policies of Dr. Burton, his record shows that he is a broad- minded educator of the kind that Michigan needs- and with such a man guiding her destinies, the University may now resume with renewed vigor. its march of progress. WHY? What's the matter with Minnesota? Dr. Burton, president of its state university, has resigned and is going to head the great University. of Michigan at Ann Arbor. He is a good man, was making good as presi- dent of the University of Minnesota, and he should have been kept. A little while ago the University of Minnesota had another good man as president-Dr. Vincent.- The Rockefeller Foundation got him. Minnesota lost him, as it is losing Dr. Burton. . Why? Minnesota is richer than Wisconsin; which has a great university. It is as rich as Michigan, which also, has a great university. It ,is rich enough to get, the best man in the 'country to head its state university, and it is rich enough to keep him. But it doesn't. It gets good men, but it can't keep them. It has lost many members of its faculty which. it. should have kept. Why? Apparently for -no other reason than that other institutions can offer more than ours can. If that is so, there is no possible excuse for it,' and Minnesota should look into it. If its legisla-f ture is niggardly with its university, the state ought, to know it, and it ought to correct it: Getting good men, enjoying their help just long enough to find out how good tfhey are; and then losing them, is bad for the morals of a university, and bad for the reputation of a state. The University of Min- nesota ought to rank with Wisconsin and Michi- gan. If it keeps up this practice of letting good men go, presently it wof't rank with anything ex- THE BASKET BALL TEAM HAS PAVED THE WAY With the statement by tihe captain of the Var- sity basketball team that Michigan's . showing dur- ing the holiday frip was excellent, Michigan can- not afford to- forget the paramount duty of the students, faculty, and alumni of the University during the year 199-1920--that'of paking it im- possible for Michigan to have such a disastrous season as the football season last fall. The basketball team's prospects look promising. The team played like real Michigan-calibered men. Wie are proud of them. But as TheDaily stated during the football season last year, a large amount of the success of a team depends updn the support, given, by the students. Our temporary duty. therefore, in solving Michigan's athletic problem is to support the basketball team, our permanent duty to do everything within our power to see that we are again hailed as Champions of the West. The duty of the student, faculty member, and alumnus in regard to the. athletic situation is easy to discover and easy to perform. It is merely a matter of suppoting the athletic teams not only in attendance at the games but also in the spirit shown at the games and while discussing the teams in informal talks, in helping the interfraternity council in its movement to secure high school ath- letes, and in spreading Michigan propaganda.

The flame of terrible hatred which had been smouldering in his eyes for years burst into flames as he let his mind dwell once more on his wrongs. In fancy he was again living those days. * * * For a while he and his yung wife had been happy in their small but cosy cottage. All had gone. well until Ru- dolph Lotsakale had come into their lives. It was the old, old story-Rudolph could give her the things which he, her husband, could not-those4 things which to one of her temperament were al- most as necessary as air and food itself. With blind, unreasoning faith he had trusted her until he came home one might to find that she had gone away with Rudolph. Since then he had been sus tained in his desire to live only by the thought that some day he would again meet the Wan and then * * * * The opening of the door brought him out of his reverie.

By the cruel irony of fate he was cheated of his vengeance just at the moment when its seemed to be within his grasp. With a moan he slipped to the floor, the gun fell from his nerveless grasp. For in that brief 'second before he had fired he noticed that RUDOLPH WAS WEARING PARIS GARTERS AND THEREFORE NO METAL COULD TOUCH HIM. J. W. K.
