In an interesting~ pro- grama, the most attractive feature will be an' address by Dr. Edwin F. Gay, a graduiate of the, University, and piresident of the New York Evening Post. D'e. Gay will -have a message on "Our Nationial Policies" which his position d urin~g' the war years and since that time imakes on(- of 'authority anfld me- nlenL, To miss this adldress would bhe to neglect an advantage which T&ligill:an mnay not s~on have again. Ini reverence to the mnemory of Ceorge Washington the nation is ob- serving a holiday tomorrow, and ac- -cordingply all University classes will be. suspended. It is only fitting, then, .that students at Michigan pay their Trib~ute to the mnan 'who is termed the "father of our country" by joining in 11he' convocation which has been call- ed( for that purpose. rial rewards in the formi of letters are also prizes worth striving for. Soph- Ioniores, in particular, are encouraged to come out for these positions, since they have the opportunity of workingj upto the highest managerial posi- Itions. Entrants .into this field of work find their compensation double. First, there is the satisfaction gained in serving the University in its athletics. Isecond, there are' the material re- wards and the opportunity for the de- velopmeht of personal ability. If these advantages were; fully understood there would-doubtlegs be more try-' outs for athletic mnanagerships.
