goes three or four years but never graduates wii
be let off for nothing, Furthermore the honest
graduate will pay his notes while the unscrupulous
can dodge.
The bill shows a conscientious effort for a ra-
tional adjustment of one phase of the state's fi-
nances but it is to be feared that it will do more
harm than good because it underestimates the value
of educated citizens and its adminstration is not
feasible. In her economies it is to be hoped that
Michigan will not fall behind her sister states by
abandoning her broad educational policy of - the
past.
"' AND AN AMERICAN"
On Thursday morning James Cardinal Gibbons
passed from our midst, quietly, peacefully, calmly,
exemplifying in the very manner of his death, the
ideals of a life which he has dedicated to his fellow
men and to his country. Sectarianism, so often
given to harsh judgments, to petty strifes, stops for
a moment in its quarrels to do solemn obeisance to
a man whom it recognizes to be one of the greatest
figures in the religious circles of the world.
It is not because Cardinal Gibbons was a great
church figure that we reverence him, but because he
has stood manfully, firmly for those ideals which
have endeared him to the hearts of many whose
only acquaintance with him has come through their
knowledge of what he has done for the world.' His
life has earned him a special place in the memory of
all right thinking Americans - his patriotism has
cut for him a niche in his country's great hall of
non-combatant heroes, and his service to the world
has earned him the right to the highest, most last-
ing praise which our poor tongues can give him:
"He was a man - and an American."
That hot little news yarn about the Hop's demise
is still going the rounds. The latest discoverer is
the University Daily Kansan, which, in its issue of
March 17, discloses: "Authorities at the University
of Michigan have ordered that the J-Hop, a tradi-
tion of fifty years, be discontinued." Will some one
please inscribe this story in the obituary?
The editor of Gargoyle is still ably maintaining
his place in the ranks of self-appointed campus
critics. His latest are tirades against an Opera he
has never seen, and against "the coming perform-
ance" of the Comedy club play, which took place
mdre than two weeks ago.
A newspaper dispatch from Knoxville, Tennes-
see, in forms us that a "hero of the dining table gets
away with 37 eggs." All of which might lead us to
believe that eggs are going down in the South.

HOSTS TO CORNELL
Today Michigan has an opportunity to show her
spirit in welcoming her guests from Cornell. It is
a privilege to have the Cornell track team here and
to show them the merits of Michigan asa Uni-
versity. We stand with extended hand to bid them
welcome and hope that they will judge us not by
the necessarily brief entertainment provided for
them but by the cordial way in which it is given.
Such hospitality as was displayed by Cornell at the
time of the track meet with the Varsity at Ithaca
last year will not soon be forgotten.
Michigan and Cornell have each won five times
in their dual meets. Last year Cornell nosed the
Wolverines out by six points. The meet this evening
promises to be interesting, and although we hope to
be the victors, whatever the final score may be we
are certain that the spirit of friendly rivalry, always
manifest between the two schools, will be mutually
maintained.
THE GRADUATION TAX
While it will not affect students who have al-
ready entered, the proposal to tax all graduates of
state educational institutions must be viewed with
apprehension by all interested in the welfare of the
state of Michigan and its colleges and normal
schools.
From the time it was a part of the Northwest
territory, Michigan has placed "religion, morality,
and knowledge".foremost. Education has, been ap-
preciated and fostered because the leaders of the
national government and this state have realized
that ignorance is the arch enemy of representative
institutions and American ideals of democracy. The
tax suggested will necessarily put a higher educa-
tion out of the reach of many of the inhabitants- of
Michigan who could use learning to the best ben-
efit of the commonwealth. The fact that it is to be
paid in notes due two years after the completion of
the course of study makes it only slightly less bur-
densome than a direct increase in tuition, as the
notes will fall cue whn the student's earning power
is at the minimum.
But passing by this objection on the dubious
ground that the money received from the measure
wil more than overbalance the disadvantage to the
state of curbing education among its citizens, there
is the serious affect that the proposal will have on
its educational institutions. A decrease in attend-
ance from both inside and outside of Michigan
would seem unavoidable. Part of the results of
this to the faculties in state institutions can be
judged from the words of H. L. Sensemann, di-
rector of the alumni catalogue office, who said,
"When we consider that more than half of our fac-
ulty have come from other states to the University
to study before theyecame members of the fac-
ulty the harm that the measure might do can be
seen."
Yet the gravest fault in the proposal is that it is
an impractical way of raising tuition. It is not pro- .
portiopate to the time a student spends in an in-
stitution, but depends on what department he grad-
uates from. With this the case a man who takes
five years for work he should do in four will pay
no more than if he had only had.the benefit of four

OTHERS SAY:I
WHAT ARE YOUR CHANCES?
(From the Harvard Crimson.)
An editorial which recently appear-
ed in The Michigan Daily asserts that
contrary to sentiments one hears fre-
quently about college the successful
scholar is not looked down upon for
gaining high marks; he receives con-
gratulations wherever he goes; he
holds the admiration of acquaintances
who realize that he is a human being
as well as a scholar; and his is the
case where virtue is its own reward.
Independent investigations made
some time ~ago by President Lowell
and by Professor Dexter of the Uni-
versity of .Illinois, have brought out
the surprisingly close correlation be-
tween excellence in college studies
and the chance of appearing in "Who's
Who." This test, although admittedly
an imperfect criterion of true achieve-
ment, is nevertheless one of the best
available indications of leadership in
American life. Tabulations involving
thousands of college graduates show
that the average college man, has one
chance in fifty of winning his way into
this category of the famed. But the
chance of the Phi Beta Kappa man is
three times as good.
From data obtained here at Harvard
it appears further that the possibility
of getting into "Who's Who" is inti-
mately connected with a man's stand-
ing in his class. Of students grafluat-
inging with highest honors a third ire
m ationed in that book; of those grad-
uating with honors abouit a fifth. The
much-feted athlete achieves distinc-
tion in after life less often than his
average every-day classmate.
It appears, then, that for from de-
serving to be looked down upon, the
"all-A" man is entitled to the degree
of respect here which The Michigan
Daily claims he receives at Ann Ar-
bor. Statistics show that he more
than any other among us is destined
to lead in after life.

It was erroneously stated in yesterday's Tele-
scope that Walt Whitman used to write rhymed
-prose of the variety given. The accusation was in-
tende to be levelled against Walt Mason.
Dear Noah:
Is there any truth in the story that, contrary to
popular conception, David and Goliath were friends
instead of enemies? Mark Tyme.
There is probably some grain of truth °to this
story. We remember of reading somewhere that
on one occasion David rocked Goliath to sleep.

"Do you know her to speak to?"'
"No, only to listen to."
In accordance with her usual custom, she walked
into the classroom ten minutes late. She wasn't
very pretty so the instructor did not hesitate to
reprimand her.
"Miss Brown," he said to her with his heaviest
sarcasm, "how will you have your tea this after-
noon?"
"Without the lemon, please," she replied with
equal dignity and then the class tittered apprecia-
tively.
Ain't It the Truth?

And the women as pretty as they deem,
More lovely far than paradise
This dear old school would seem.
