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.

'here will be a meeting of the entire reportorial 'at 5 o'clock this afternoon. "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. t Michigan's strength is acknowledged by the The Wolverines are looked upon in that sec- of'the country as the true champions of the .

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.

I. i Our Dail yNovelette I 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.
