what he thinks, and even publish, what
he writes. If his ideas do not con-
form with the accepted theory of the
times, nothing is done. The opinion
seems to be, "Oh, he's young yet. He'll
get over it when he grows up!" The at-
titude of the authorities could hard-
ly be more liberal.
Yet at the same time, in his social
life, the English student is treated like
a child. Porters in every house keep
a watchful eye on his movements. IfI
he is out after nine o'clock, it means.
a fine; if he is out after midnight, it
means an interview with the dean.i
Attendance in classes is imperative'
and a strict record is kept. In this te-
spect, American colleges are far more
liberal. American college studentsi
are not watched every minute, even
though.the university does keep watch
on what they write, and block ultra-'
radical movements.
A hard task faces the man who
would compare the two systems and
declare which is "best." What is real
freedom-freedom of thought or free-
dom of action? Should a student be
allowed to propound long theories,
and at the same time, be compelled
to be home at nine o'clock each night?
Is that the logical course of action?
Or is it better to let a student act as
he pleases and only interfere when
he would force his doctrine on others
by means of the press?i
A little intelligent study of the sit-
uation might lead to an improvement
of the situation in both countries.

?robably one of the most dificult
ngs in this line that University au-

a of enforcing the prohibition law

e effort was made merely to pre-

d this attitude, was clearly voiced
several occasions by President

it thewhole faculty has taken up-
itselfthe responsibility of judg-{
the students upon their observ-
ce ornon-observance of the Pro-'

sar tid proper under the existing
editions.
The attempt to free the area
ound the University of the prolific
dldlers of illicit liquor, which has
en carried on by both the Uni-'
rsity officials and the local author-
es, was a direct blow at the very
>t of the drinking evil in Ann Ar-

et set back to the advance already

y men would favor leniency for al

inmittees for the much less ser-

Although some of, the signers of

GOOD GRADES AND SELF RESPECT
That the student body as a body
'has no sense of honor was borne out
in an examination a few days ago.
The instructor, having given out the,

Before he had scarcely.passed thru
the doorway there was a general re-
ference to notes, texts, and exchange
of ideas between students. This in a
course in "ethics!"
There is no doubt that the crooked
student hurts himself, eventually, in
his crookedness. Worse, however, is the
hardship inflicted on those who would
like to get passing grades, without1
sacrificing their self-respect and self-
esteem. It is this group of people who
suffer when instructors. leave a class'
"on its honor;" it is this group who
must content itself with grades be-
low clas -averag-e, and below those
"earned" by students, who on the
wtihole are inferior to themselves.

Twenty-Five Years,
Ago At.Michigan
From the Files of the U. of it. Daily,
larch 28, 1899
The announcement comes from Lan-
sing that the Michigan College of
Mines, now located at Houghton, may
be removed ;to Ann Arbor. The cost
of this little college of one hundred
students, in its present location, is
immense.
The edition of the Wrinkle which
appears today is the annual Woman's
Edition. By careful study, unmis-
takable traces of humor can be found
in some of the articles.
A crowd of student hikers last Sat-
urday found themselves down near the
Island. One of.the Freshmen was told
about the tug of war that took place
there in the spring. So he thought he
would familiarize himself with the lay
of tbheriver bottom. He and 'a pal'
therefore waded splash.ingly across
the river from the Frosh to the Soph
bank. A policeman nearly ran him
as a lunatic.

ROVER BOYS' VENGEANCE NO. 15
The disappearance of Prof. Snod-
grass puzzled the lads, as they medi-
atetively whacked water-lilies with
their paddles. Tom whacked a large
pad, sending it far below the water's
surface.
"I have it," he announced. "How's
for going back down the river a ways?
Snoddie might be along sometime."
As one of the boys turned to their
work and sent the lithe craft scuttling
swiftly down the eddying torrent that
gushed on two thousand miles to the
open salt sea.
"We must spare no effort to seek
the Professor, who has as you boys
know been our boon campanion in
many and variegated adventures," re-
marked Dick casually. Dick, of course,
was the natural leader of the little
expedition and his word was unques-
tioned by his younger brothers.
"Yow-wow-wow-" resounded a tre-
mendous cry from the banks of the
river, and the boys changed their
course toward the source of the noise.
"Prof. Snodgrass is -still alive,"
breathed the boys nasally for the right
effect," and our fears are at an end."
When about thirty yards from the
shore, however, they were startled by
noticing three dugouts filled with
painted savages dart from the dense
foliage that lined the water.
"Savages," gasped Dick.
"Painted savages" added Tom.
"Maneaters7 I'll bet" put inthe' fi
loving SanE..
And bendli' to their oars with ter-
rific impdl ei the endangered lad s
sped their 1 .raft cer the verdent
water, the avags il fo ious pur-
m it.
"They must not overtake us" vowed
each of the t c, "for captire meanW
certain deatfA.'
At this celcial point there loomed
up ahead a trange picture of' a huge
insect caula ana branchin the mid-
die of the stea~nm,;"avng ts egs vio-
l 1l,,tiy. It' was, ao you have already
suspected, our redoubtable Prof. Sod-
( grass. The boys speedily ;bore down
upon him. They stopped underneath
C the overhanging limb from which he
was suspended.
"Assist me, boys" he begged. "When
the canoe passed under this branch,
my jaw caught over it, and here I was
left hanging like a stuffed pig, unbe-
knownst to you. My jaw, as you know
is somewhat protruding, and has near-
ly been my downfall, although it i
holding me firmly enough now."
The savages had come up in the
meanwhile, and the startled Rovers
were amazed to see them making signs
of obeisance. The boys sat agape and
astounded.

We think that before the Student
Council has its powers augmented in
the alarming way it seems to want
them augmented, it really ought to
take up this little matter that our man
Bacon suggested in the ast issue of
his little magazine. (Chimes) To wit,
the matter of the Union Eating de-'
partment.
Are you, Mr. Union Member, aware,
that last year the Union eating depart-
ment lost $15,000? Are you?
Well, how about the Student Coun-
cil fixing that up, before it takes any
more power! The Council has entire-
ly too much power now; it sets the
dates for Cap Night, for the Fall
and Spring games, it petitions for
Convocations,-and now it petitions
for more power. A bad business. .
A couple of weeks ago we had oca-
sion to lunch in the Union Top Room.
And while we lunched, we had a most
curious vision. At ;bout ten minutes
past twelve, or perhaps not quite so
many, a person came into the Tap
Room and stood in line for lunch.
In due time the person got lunch,
paid for same, and came and sat down
quite near us. From then on we neg-
lected our lunch, and fastened our
eyes only on this person.
"CAPTAIN APP.EJ;ACK," in .re-
hearsal, more than justifies the sincere
adlance prophecies concerning the
production. As is the custom with
Professor Nelson his productions al-
ways assume their final form at least
ten days in advance and with the
remaining week before them the cast
should be able to present a most fin-
ished performance on April 2 and 4,
when the play will be offered at the
Whitney Theater.
Though this may plausibly sound
like the usual advance notice that it
is, it is most feelingly felt. "Captain
Applejack" is really a good play; it is
neither literary, high, low, or no-brow,
but it is merely clever, sure-fire thea-
ter-which should be enough to sat-
isfy anyone.
Its story runs something like this:
In a high lonely castle out by the
sea, there lives a thoroughly respect-
ful and uninspired young gentleman
by the name of Applejohn. Suddenly
he feels an urge for expression, ro-
mance love-at-first-sight. Quite
as suddenly he finds his wish fulfilled
with a little too much reality for coin-
fort. A lady-oh, so beaut4ful!-ap-
pears, followed by Borolsky, the Brute,
Carnal Man, followed by the Oriental
mystic, alias the Bond Street fence,
and his Missus, followed by Policemen.
Buried Treasure, Coast Guards and
the final explosion, and the final touch-
ing reconciliation with the Little Girl
who has stuck by him through it all.
The plot, you will admit, sounds a
trifle creaky in a few of its joints,
but fortunately in actual presentation
these absurdities are emphasized by
insistent satire to the point of grot-
esqueness, and thus make the play not
only thrilling as good hokum but effec-
tive burlesque as well.-
Added to this-added, no doubt,
mainly to run the plays to the re-
quired limits-there is the dream
