THE ICHIGAN OF OLD
One night some time ago I dreamed
And in my troubled sleep I seemed
To be back in the past;
With many classes, nineteen 'leven,
Eighty-six and ninety-seven,
My lot in turn was cast.
I thought with glee of all the tales,
Of football games and bar-room rails,
Of never ending praise;
I waited for a real treat,
The romance of a past so sweet,
Back in those golden days.
I found the Michigan of old,
The one of which I have been told
Since Hector was a pup;
I saw the famous things I knew
From hearsay and tradition, too,
A few we've given up.
I found out ere the night was spent,
No matter how far back I went,
I always heard the cry:.
"Where is the Michigan of old?
Her spirit fast is growing cold;
Bring back the days gone by."
And so, in looking back, my friends,
Swift time in passing gently tends
To blot out faults and flaws;
Though sorrows at some times were
keen, r
These all are faded from the scene
Which memory redraws.
Old timers, then, are not too blame,
They can't forget the former fame,
They have to make a fuss;
And Freud has given me the hunch
That in ten years the student bunch
Will hear the same from us.

In Same Office
(By Paul Watzel)
In celebrating an anniversary many
institutions fail to look about and see
what others have done that is worthy
of attention and comment. This is en-
tirely natural, for at such a time there
is little notice given to the others.
However, it is often well to con-
sider what these institutions have
been and are 'doing.
Grouped in a room with the edito-
rial and business staffs of The Daily
are many publications that have made
places for themselves in the lives of
the University students. They all"
serve in different capacities, serve dif-
ferent masters, so to speak. They are
of varied types and perform varied
functions. Their purposes may be to
furnish accurate but colorless infor-
mation, to give a resume of the col-
lege year in an interesting form, to
comment upon the phases of Univer-
sity life with a view to betterment,
or to present the mere trivial side of
academic life.
Have Proved Worth
But whatever their purpose or their
function, we have in them institutions
that have established themselves by
proving their worth. We recognize
them as being parts of the general
plan of University life.
Soon we are to see the twenty-fifth'
volume of the Michiganensian. In
this will be represented the results.
of years of experience with former
volumes. It has become an institu-
tion, the abolition of which no one now
will argue. In its elaborate descrip-
tions of the athletic and social events
of the year, in its short but complete
records of the men and women who
have successfully done the work pre-
scribed by the University, in its func-
tion of giving credit where credit is
due, it gives us something that is
worth while, something that we feel
is necessary.
Chimes, the most recently estab-
lished publication upon the campus,
fills a niche that would indeed be
vacant were it not for that magazine.
Its capacity is to be "all-campus," to
discuss problems, to present solutions,
to give opinions.
Directly the opposite is the Gar-
goyle, with its preference for the tri-
vial.. Wit and humor, so prevalent
among college men, finds its outlet
here. Compared with the Michigan-
ensian, the magazine of fun is still in
its infancy, but it has shown its pe-
culiar function, and has shown it to
advantage.
Wolverine in Summer
During the summer months The
Daily steps aside and allows a pub-
lication of a different name to carry
on with the work of furnishing news
to the campus. The Wolverine, for
the past eleven years, has found those
attending summer school of the opin-
ion that it should continue.
A list of names, addresses and tele-
phone numbers is as drab a thing as
can be conceived, but the Student
Directory fills a different need than
the othei' publications. Perhaps it is
the most used, the most referred to,
of any.
The Athletic Program is the servant
of the student when he steps inside
Ferry Field. Many of us do not real-
ize that the program is a true pub-
lication, in every sense of the word.
There are three publications that
are not classed with those mentioned
