FAVRCT 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.

NON-CUPPOleT [he University has undertaken a Rec ltgg igits iermnatin toI ld sider tihoi' an student life a de-ite standard and in its ef- t to make the whole attitude of undergrduates contribu ing fac- 's in their sttus in the Univer- ?robably one of the most dificult ngs in this line that University au- >rities have encountered is the prob- a of enforcing the prohibition law tong the students. At the outset, e effort was made merely to pre- at disorderly outbursts in public d this attitude, was clearly voiced several occasions by President rton. But this declaration was de more than a year ago. The sit- tion has changed today and at pre-- it thewhole faculty has taken up- itselfthe responsibility of judg-{ the students upon their observ- ce ornon-observance of the Pro-' >ition amendment. This is all nec- 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- r. The effects of this blow have en very obvious but the recent pe- ion of certain members of the fac- y for leniency in the case of a n under suspicion of carrying on s unlawful liquor trade is a dis- et set back to the advance already de, How many of these same fac- y men would favor leniency for al ident being tried before one of their inmittees for the much less ser- as offense of using this liquor? Although some of, the signers of s petition have now announced that ey are withdrawing their names eng the document, whatever dain- e publicity of this nature can, have, the whole subject of unlawful li- or trading is done. It is deplor- Ie and regretable that a more sound, ional and consistent policy cannot achieved in our faculty circles.. 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, question's, left the room for a moment, 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.

Investigation is the backbone of de-. mocracy. 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. -H. A. J. * * * 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.
