Murane Tyler Stevens T H Wolfe David Park Paul Blum read, he thought, and, through his pen, he virtually controlled. But his were the days of comparatively small pa- pers and of personal editorial supervision in the press rooms. How different now!l With our great metropolitan publications, each catering to tens and hundreds of thousands of patrons and possessing inconceivably huge organizations, the great editor ha's become a mere manager, while his opinions, or rather the opinions of the corporation over him, are voiced second-handedly through countless busy- brained assistants. We are now embarked fully upon the "corpora tion" age of journalism for "Marse Henry" has car- red the personal touch away with him. EVOLUTION Perhaps the greatest question in academic circles during the nineteenth century was the question of evolution. The greatest minds of the day such as Darwin, Wallace, Haeckel, Lamarck, and a host of others spent their time and energy expounding and substantiating the newly developed theory, while the rest of theworld looked on with an incredulous expresson and hotly debated the question pro and con. Gradually, as the mass of proof became more complete and convincing, the question of evolution ceased to cause the immense amount of comment it had formerly enjoyed, and many thinking people came to accept the doctrine as fundamentally sound. In spite of the preponderance of proof in favor of the theory of organic evolution and the exha'is- tive research1s made in the subject, some people still fail to consider its possibilities. This class is not confined to the uneducated, but even prevails to a large degree among people who consider them- selves well-informed. It exists in universities but it is a fact to be noted with satisfaction that inter- est in the subects is growing and substantial at the centers of higher learning. At present there are at least two courses in the University which. deal exclusively with organic evolution. During the past two years the attendance in them has more than doubled. The average student has some vague idea in re- gard to evolution ,but when called upon to give some explanation for his ideas he is helpless. It is to do away with this sort of ignorance and to cause a lit- tle deeper thinking on this subject that courses in evolution are given. Nothing could be more in- t-nsely interesting or educational than the clarifying of the development of life and the tracing of man's ancestry, according to this theory, and undoubtedly life will have a little broader significance to those who make it a point to investigate this most fas- cinating subject. Judging from the appearance of the new Michi- gan auto licenses it looks as if the state officials re- solved to make rear lights unnecessary. i Narcissus Bulbs with Bowls at GRAHAM'S Biosh Ends of the Diagonal Walk i DETROIT UNITED LINES Ann Arbor and Jackson TIME TABLE (Eastern Standard Time) Detroit Limited and Express Cars -- 6 :oo a.

THE HOME STRETCH Somebody has said, "Life is just one d va- cation after another", referring, of course, to col- lege life. And so, after two weeks of blessed peace and possibly hilariousness, we find ourselves re- planted suddenly in this vale of blue books, to pre- pare for the final clash. That clash is only a little bit over three weeks away. It appears that we have returned just in time. We have spent some fourteen days or more in collecting our senses, or in spending our ener- gies riotously; and we are now here for the sole purpose of rounding off the edges of our courses, of taking the final wild swing at that intellectual curve that has been tantalizing us this whole inn- ing, and establishing our season's batting average by the simple expedient of writing a few examina- tions. But what are we doing for our country? How will we assemble for the pen-and-ink argument? The Grind will continue to get squint-eyed over his fine print - that is to be expected. The Sensible Gentle- man will no doubt spend a little time now and then reviewing, will see to it early that he possesses a good knowledge of each of his courses, and, when the time of tribulation tmnally arrives, will be able to rest and play in comparative peace, after a cur- sory re-hash of the fundamentals, with a full and comfortablerrealization that he prepared himself while the preparing time was at hand. But Mr. Average Student - if he lives true to 'form, he unquestionably will play from now un- till the first bell rings, wnen he will suddenly be brought to attention with a start and a sickening sense of dread, will snatch his books and begin tt pummel his brain and exhaust his physical self with lack of sleep, until, wth the last gong and the con} mencement of the final test, his poor head will be ii} nothing but a glorious whirl of disjointed and ap- parently unrelated facts. He may pass his exami inations, but it won't be entirely his fault if he does. We wonder how many Mr. Average Students there are on the campus this year. THE PASSING OF THE OLD SCHOOL Henry Watterson, long known in American jour- nalism for his strong, often violent, likes and de- likes, his vigorous style and his powerful editorial articles, died just three days before Christmas at Jacksonville, Florida. The press undoubtedly will not soon forget him, for he was a man who built for himself the foundation for a long and enduring rec- ord, despite the fact that his direct leadership passed into decay some time ago. For "Marse Henry" took with him the age of "personal" journalism. He belonged to the time of Dana and Greeley more than to the present day ; he was one of those old-time editors whose personal self was made known to his readers through the columns of his paper, and whose word and opin- ion called to them with the voice of authority. He The Telescope That Familiar Feeling It was our Original intention To draw a drab But vivid word picture In deep black and dull gray Of "The Return". But everyone knows What it was like, So Why bother? We agree with the far West that California has a "wonder team". Everyone wonders what's the matter with it.
