to set up, how high does the illiteracy figure run
at the University of Michigan?
Certainly a University whose purpose is to teach
higher education-and not rudinents-might fairly
ask of its matriculates the ordinary ability to spell.
Yet no institution, so far as can be ascertained, does
make such a requirement, and the percentage of
illiteracy judged by this test would not make a good
college advertising item.
It is obvious that the high school graduate can-
not be expected to turn into a walking dictionary.
simply because he has paid his fee at the freasur-
er's office and donned his toque. But it is not in the
least obvious why he should deliberately or rather
shiftlessly, remain among the illiterates. The moun-
tain white, who has never seen a school and has
never had enough money to get to one, has a pretty
sound excuse for his benighted condition; but the
college man who, backed by all the advantages and
opportunities that can come to anybody, refuses
even to try to better his shortcomings, cannot claim
an excuse. His illiteracy, if on a higher plane, is
less justifiable.,
No person who has enough brains to do college
work can truthfully claim inability to learn spelling
or any other rudimentary "science." This state-
ment applies just as forcefully to persons who
"can't learn how to express themselves clearly'"
Like all requirements, expression, whether oral or
literary, is just a matter of practice. -The person
who puts up such a puerile excuse for his short-
cmings in expression as "I know it but I can't say
it" or "I can't put it on paper' should squeeze in
every course he can get in rhetoric or oratory, and
keep on trying until he becomes a college man in
the sense the word ought to imply.-
The dignity and respect which should surround
the popular conception of a college education is
hurt by the college illiterate who continues in his
faults ; but not by the man who gets to work and
rids himself of them.

"CHAMPIONS OF THE WEST"
season or two of setbacks has, not, in the eyes of
sporting public denied Michigan the right to
its bands play and its students sing "The
ors." Michigan's athletic record is too good to
just one year of reverses cause it to lose its
tige in the intercollegiate world of sport.
he fact that Michigan is still considered the
ampions of the West" can be voiced in rio bet-
way than through Cornell's char'acteriztion of
Wolverine track team in their publicity on the
lell-Michigan meet held last Saturday. ' Cham-
s of the western conference,-they called the
higan team, and justly so.
de result of the meet, a victory for Cordell by a
t margin on six points, told the story of two
teams that could not have been more evenly
hed. It was almost a matter of chance-- -which
yould take the meet and Cornell won.

of'the country as the true champions of the

There's one among us nowadays,
Who gets us all in wrong,
And makes us late to classes
The whole darn week along.
He made me late the other night,
When I went to keep a date ;
I missed the girl and this betray'r
I now with ardor hate.
This one among us is two-faced,
And though it seems a knock
I'll say he's three--faced, yea, and four,
I mean the campus clock.

Mragazine Review
Carrying a breath of humor wher-
ever it went, the Spirit number of the
Gargoyle appeared on the campus yes-
terday. Spirits ranging from those of
the Lodge variety to the kind with,
which the majority of people are bet-
ter acquainted with, are dealt with in
this month's issue. Some celestial
subjects are cleverly treated in the
magazine.
Among the "objets d'art" that ap-
pear are the cover illustration, a car-
toon entitled "Wonder What the Cam-i
pus Clock Thinks About," and the re-
curring portrayal of "Foolish Finds."
Spring, politics, and a number of
other current topics, as well as many
illustrations in addition to those men-i
tioned, make up the remaining reading:
and entertainment material of a good
issue.

He paused a moment before entering the house.
Before his mind swam a picture of a girl, beauti-
ful, innocent and guileless. Would he still tiny her
the same or had his neglect turned her love for him
into loathing and.hatred ? This question had been
seared into his subconscious mind until he knew he
would carry its brand for all time to come. In
fancy he could recall her as she had looked that
last night with her whole countenance illumined by
the light of a holy love.
II
It had been the same old, old story. Theirs had
been a love such as is given to few. For the first
few months they had lived in a world of unreality,
their heads in the clouds,.their thoughts far from
mundane things. And then jealousy, that hydra-
headed monster had enmeshed them in its 'all-en-
veloping tentacles and they had quarreled and sep-
arated. He realized now the utter futility of try-
ing to exist without her; well, he knew that she
held his whole future happiness in those delicately
shaped hands of hers.
III
With trembling hands he pushed open the door
From afar he could discern the faint sniffling which
betokens the-presence of tears. Pushing open the
door of the kitchen from whence came the sobbing
he beheld her. And at the sight which met his
eyes his heart seemed to stand still, his blood con-
jealed in his veins. There sat Nell, her eyes red
and swollen, tears coursing down her cheeks. And
in her hands gleaming balefully as the sun was re-
flected on it was a long, shining blade. At the sight
o-f him she hung her head, the knife dropped from
her nerveless fingers. 'Nell, what does this mean?"
he cried as he folded her closely to him. And fron
the muffled folds of his coat came, "Well you'd
be crying too if you were peeling onions as long as
I have. J. W.'K.
