EDITORIAL COMMENT11
A TRANSFER OF GENUS
(The JBoston Transcript)
Accompanying the increase in the
number of students in the academic
departments of our colleges there is
a decrease in the technical depart-
ments of most of them and in the
technical schools generally. This de-
crease is attributed to the fact that
the engineering profession, at least
in its introductory stages, had be-
come overcrowded as the result of the
rush into the profession during and
following the war. This explanation
is no doubt adequate as to any falling
off that may appear in the technical
schools, but it takes no account of the
fact that the overcrowding of the old
"learned profession"--medicine, law.
literature, divinity, which is also
somewhat marked-has had no effect
m diminishing the numbers of stu-
dents in the academic departments of
the colleges. The old saw, which was
always quoted by the committee man
when he visited the district school ev-
en a hundred years ago, and is ha-
bitually quoted still, about there be--
ing always room at the top, is appar-
ently still the guide of the rising gen-
eration.
That techncal students, and par-
ticularly engineering students, are
fewer, does not mean that there are
fewer students. On the contrary,.
there are more. There may be too)
many lawyers, but there is always
room for the good lawyer that the
youthful aspirant to the bar is going
to become. Literature is a path upon
which many and multiplying thou-
sands walk, but the Kiplings and the
Edith Whartons do not find themselves
crowded. Why should it not be the
same way with the Elihu Thompsons
and the Steinmetzes? At all events
the college entrants attain their rec-
ord numbers in this year of grace.
It is simply a transfer of destinations,
a shifting of genius. The higher edu-
cation retains its hold on the public
mind and the private purpose.
And this is well, and always will be
well. There will never be too much
higher education, nor too many edu-
cated men and women. Engineers and
lawyers and authors will come ani
go, but education not only shapes and
effectuates the superior mind but
through suggestion and influence
forms the common mind. The engin-
eering profession's numerical loss may
be lost to the future by the transfer
of students to other departments re-
corded this year, but general learning
and common efficiency will be the
gain'' Js. " _'
Mr.Ford is willing to run for Prs;
ident, according to a dispatch from
Detroit, and evidently he is willing
to run now while the running is good.

THE SOPHOMORE NUISANCE
At this season of the year, a good-
ly crop of sophomore hazers, like
mushrooms, may be expected to spring
up overnight. It is a time of" fever-I
ish enforcement of traditions with the
sophomore the self-appointed police-
man. As long as he confines his ef-
forts to tradition, the sophomore isl
tolerable, but when he attempts to
-make the freshman a public butt for
this own amusement, he becomes as
iiuch of a campus nuisance as the
freshman who spills soup in the up-
perclassman's lap.
The mild haz'ng that has taken
place during the past week was done,
by sophomores who are not among the
best men in the class. The last as-
sertion stands unmodified. The soph-
omore hazers are noticeably a, lower
type socially than those who do not
insist on naking asses of themselves'
in the eyes of the upperclassmen.
The action of the Student council
in preparing the discipline machin-
ery to take care of this mushroom
g-owth is a welcowe one, for, while
the training of freshmen is an import-
ant duty of the older men, such work
can be done satisfacdtorily without
the assistance of the "sophomore nuis-
ance."

Twenty-Five Years

Daily, September 21., 1898.
Prof. M. E. Cooley is still in the ser-
vice of the navy department. A letterl
received from him recently was dat-
ed League Island, Philadelphia, and
stated that the Yosemite hal just re-
turned from a. trip to Mole St. Nicho-
las, Island of Hiatt. The steamer had
been in reserve ,and all the crew
save two officers and himself were dis-
charged.
Mr. Earle W. Dow has returned to
the University to resume his workj
as instructor of history after two
years spent in Europe.
Dr. Lawrence Bigelow is a new in-
structor in the general chemistryj
work of the University. He graduat-
ed from Harvard University in 1S91,
and from the Massachussetts Insti-
tute of Technology in 1895, and re-
ceived his degree of Ph. D. at Leip-
zig in 1898. Dr. Bigelow has organiz-
ed a course in physical chemistry
which will be given for the first time
this semester.
The Unversity band which gave
such good service at the athletic
games and several dances last year,
will be reorganized soon. The num-
. THE HENDECAMERON
In dying, Andrew brought grief to
many. But there was one consola-
t'on. His spirit lived-not in the or-
dinary, prosaic manner in which spir-
its aro said to live; but in a very real,
a matter-of-fact way. For his spirit
lived in his young son Jabez, a lad
of spirit whom everyone was fond
of likening to Andrew. However, one
day Jabe, as he was affectionatelyl
called by those who knew him well,
went for a walk. He had not gone
far before he fell into a man-hole.
Climbing out of this he continued
down the street, falling into another.
Getting out of this one, he walked
a few feet to the next one, which he
likewise fell into. "Whew!" said
Jabe, climbing out of the annoying
thing, "this is unusual. This, I am
convinced, will bear investigation,"
So lie prcoeeded to investigate, and
found that lie had been walking in a
circle, and had fallen into the same
one three times.

The Sure Thing ani The Galll1ie
Back in the (lays when George Iii
was king of England, one, Robert Ed-
wards, was given a grant of land as a
reward. The land, 160 acres, ex-
tended from the battery to Park Row
and from Broadway to the Hudson
River in Manhattan. In 1750 the land
was leased for 99 years and at the ex-
piration of that time the lease was
renewed for another 99 year perio~i.
This second lease expires in 1948, or
so the story goes.
Now Warren Edwards, a Cincinnati
policeman, is ghting for the posses-
sion of the 160 acres of land. That
small slice of land is valued almost
beyond calculation. It included tie
sites of the Woolworth Building, the
Singer building, Adams Express, the
American Express, the Iudson term-
imal, and a few others. Policeman
Edwards hopes to acquire the proper-
ty which his ancestor leased in 1854
but at the same time he sticks to his
job. That's good policy. Many are
willing to abandon a sure thing to
gamble on an air castel.
The Unfortunate Frogs
Even the situation in Europe has
its amusing side. Someone tells a
story about two frogs that fell into
a tub of cream. One frog drowned
immediately, but the other, a nor:'
resolute specimen, kept on umpm g
until morning found a live frog sit-
'ting upon a roll of golden butter.
The mess; on the continent-is somic-
what analagous. Most of the coun-
tries are in the position of the two
unfortunate amphibians. That the
Germans abandoned passive resist-
ance immediately and unconditional-
ly is a great victory for France. Like -
wise it is a victory for Germany.

State at Columbus last year are eag-
erly awaiting the contest which- is
to take place on Ferry Field on Oc-
tober 20. The intense rivalry which
has grown up between the two
schools during the past few years has
nmade this .game the most popular one
on the Michigan schedule. Already
nearly the entire number of seats
avaiable for the game have been sold
- and the lodging houses of Ann Arbor
art beginning to feel the strain.
Ohio State is coming to Ann Ar-
bor with a team that is out to win.
She is also sending a host of loyal'
backers who believe that the team can
w'n. They are all coming with a
determined spirit but-more than a
friendly spirit. A determination on
both sides to win is necessary to
