Tradition of Michigan Women.
Lantern Night is considered one
of the most beautiful traditions of
Michigan women, for at this time,
by means of a symbolic ceremony,
the sophomores bcome juniors, the
juniorspass 'to the dignity of sen-
rrs and the seniors go safely into
'$thewd e, wide, °wVorld."
The ceremonies begin when the
women :start gathering, at Palmer
field about §:30 o'clock, at which
time a picnic box lunch is served.
Immediately following this, the
Freshman Pageant is presented by
the first year women. By this time
the sun has set, and all the women
form in classes under the direction
of leaders and aides, chosen from
each class.
The seniors, in cap and gown,
carry lighted lanterns, while the
juniors carry hoops, through which
the sophomores will eventually pass.
After a serpentine march to Palmer
field, the seniors pass their lanterns
to the juniors, and the sophomores
receive the hoops of the juniors. A
block 'M" is formed, outlined by
the lanterns, and the ceremonies
end with the singing of the "Yel-
low and Blue."

Les Miserables by Victor Hugo
will be the subject of Prof. J.
Raleigh Nelson's reading to be
given Sunday afternoon, May 11, at
the League building. For those in-
terested in the novel, this program
ought to be particularly valuable,
as Professor Nelson will discuss it
from many standpoints, emphasiz-
ing especially the unity and har-
mony of the book.
By bringing out the author's un-
derlying idea, he will try to explain'
why Hugo placed in his novel ac-I
counts of the convents of Paris, itsl
sewers, and other things that may
not seem altogether necessary to
some. The book also will be discuss-
ed from the thought of its being a}
social thesis, dealing as it does so
minutely with the life in France
