What is the trouble? The doubtful
state of mind seems due more to poli-
tical than business conditions. People
are becoming worried about the pos-
sible effect of recent inquiries and re-
velations of national prosperity. Some
question the honesty of our public life
in general and feel that government1
in America is "breaking down." Others
are less moved by evidences of de-

what the pr.actical effects may be in

Dear Cowles:
She was in the upper study room of
the library yesterdiay. A piquant lit-
tle blue hat, with a blue ribbon done
around and fastened by a nickel buc-
kle on the right side of the front, al-{
most completely hid her bobbed hair,
brown, of which a little peeped under
the front.
She always laughed when she spoke
to. the girl in the brown hat on her
right, especially when she talked with
him who sat first beside, then across
from her.
Dark blue serge with blue ribbon
trimmings was her dress, scarcely
visible from my viewpoint because of a
coat with black trimmings.
She is small, but just right, and if
she sees this
"Maybe she'll write me,!
Maybe she'll phone me,'
Maybe she'll radio-"
and I hope she will anyway.

MISDIRECTED FACULTY ZEALI

One's amazement is hard to ima-
gine, then, when one finds no less a
learned and august body than the
Faculty of the Wharton School hid-
ing down the dark corners of learn-
ing ready to stretch a string across
the halls of learning to annoy, harass,
and trip up the unsuspecting student.
At the March meeting of that body,
a motion was passed in regard to the
conduct of examinations and quizzes
that seems tottally unnecessary-and
its only utility, to use the vernacular,
as something to "rub in" on the
Wharton School student. The con-
text of the legislation was that dur-
ing such quizzes and examinations,
all unnecessary material brought to
the room where the latter was being
held was to be placed in one huge
heap at the front of the room. Wheth.-
er such material bore a relation to'
the examination mattered not, it could
no longer be placed under the seats
or similar pace, but was intended
to be kept out of reach of the wan-
dering clutch of the student.
For several months past, the seem-
ing tendency in the Wharton School
has been to work toward a closer re-
lationship between teacher and pupil,
while evident progress had been made
that would pave the way for a possi-
ble return of the honor system. But
such petty acts as these serve but
to widen the breach, and make the
point of complete understanding ats
far away as ever.
Such actions can never hope to
make a scholar of a man, if such is
their motive-for a feeling of repul-
sion is stimulated rather than any
added interest in the work. Only
the broadyrindedness and liberality of
most professors and instructors, in
what even they considered too radi-
cal a measure, is all that averted a
crisis in the :matter. But itis the act,
rather than its interpretation, which
leaves a bitter taste in the students'
mouth. Such a dictatorial piece of

flLhn standadize ne*syapfrs,
the;s, and farmnhg; they may even
standardize emotions, learning and
,speech; they probably will standard-
ize the calendar and the date of Eas-
ter; but there will always remain at
least one insurmountable obstacle to
complete stand ardization. They caxn
never force Spring t regulate her
coming by a time-table, the vernal
equinox.
With wat egotism and acclaim the
Weathermen all over the country an-
nounced her arrival on March 21!
Everyone told everyone else that that
was the first day; of Spring's sojourn,
that she arrived at midnight. Every-
body was full of information about
her and anxious to spread it.
Yet all the while that delightfully
coqueitish young lady. laughed up her,
wind-Blown sleeve and doubtless re-
marked, paraphrasing Mark Twain,
that the report of her arrival was
greatly exaggerated. She smiled ami-
ably and tenderly at their assumption
of great knowledge, for ages in their
passing have made her tolerant.
,Spring .knows that the egotism of
man has changed very little since his
birth. She knows that just as Alex-
ander dreamed of a vast Asian Empire
so man dreams today of an infinite-
ly greater empire, a dominion over
Nature, which he can never accom-
plish.
That ever youthful and elusive
maiden, Spring, knows the value of
keeping her swains awaiting and rec-
ognizes the humbling effect his policy
has on their ego. She knows that if
she were to come every year on the
same date mhan would lose interest in
her and regard her as his slave or his
wife. As it is, the longer she post-
pones her arrival, the greater is the
rejoicing when she does come.
All of us enveloped in her warm
embrace feel the blood within us fow
faster, and our hopes, tarnished by
the gloom of winter, become bright-
er; and there comes to us an acces-
sion of power which 'makes all things
seem, possible to our expanded
strength. Once more we feel our-
selves the lords of creation.

Twenty-Five
Years
Ago At Michigan
From the Files of the U. of M. Daily)
April 9, 1899
For the first time in the history of
the University of Michigan, a debating
team won two unanimous victories.
Last night in the finals of the Central
Debating Leag,4c contest, Micliigan
defeated Chicago by the unanimous
vote of the judges. Although the Chi-
cago team was strong they lacked the
thorough preparation that Michigan
had.
Sousa's band will make its second
appearance in Ann Arbor tonight
when it plays in University Hall at
8 o'clock. Sousa is at the peak of
his career now and a wonderful pro-!
gram may be expected. The band is
here under the (auspices of the Wo-
men's League; and the proceeds will
go toward completing the Women's
Gymnasium.
Candidates for the varsity track
team are asked to report to the coach
this afternoon. Regular practice will
begin tomorrow if the weather per-
mits. All tryouts will be'expected to
remain in town for practice during
the spring vacation.
L. L. Renwick, '99 'Iit, gave a very
entertaining organ recital last night.
Mr. Renwick has been studying the
organ for several years and expects
to go to Europe this summer to con-
tiue his study.
The relay race for the interclass
championship, which was given as
part of the program arranged in honor
of the visiting state legislature, was
won by '00 Laws. In this race J. B.
Wood, '00 Law, broke the Gymnasium
record for the 440 yard dash.
