TAP AND REVEILLE
This morning when the final bugles
blow the taps of college days and the
reveille for the great beyond two
thousand new graduates, will under-
take the commencement of their ulti-
mate pursuits in life.-
For the next few years they will
disappear, merged into the vast per-
sonnel of an exacting society. Then
gradually here and there the names
of a chosen few will begin to stand
out on the horizon of accomplishment,
and Michigan's class of '23 will have
its celebrities.
They cannot all: become famous,
these seniors 'who are graduated to-
day. After all, if it were the proper-
ty of more than a few, fame would be
hardly worth having, for fame is spok-
en of in' national terms.
The great body of seniors will seek
success and respect in the communi-
ties in which they make their homes.
There, the proper carrying on of the
purposes they have set for them-
selves will grant as valuable a serv-
ice to the world and to Michigan as
the work of those, who reap glory in
broader spheres.
At any rate, today is Qommence-
ment, and with the fervent hopes and
well-wishes in th hearts of friends,
parents, and classmates, each of two
thousand .Michigan graduates lays
aside the gown of University life, and
begins.
THE DRY UNITED STATES
"What is the matter with the brain
of the American people?" Several
hundred million Europeans and North
Americans are asking this question
as we grapple furiously with the pro-
hibition problem.
In England, it is inconceivable that
any nation should pass a law which
it cannot enforce with comparative
ease. Occasional infractions are ex-
pected and welcome under any legal
system" for they give the system. an
opportunity to function healthily. But
when the "law abiding" citizenry of
the nation practice wholesale viola-
tion, with something akin to glee,
while their government desperately
fights for enforcement, the situation
becomes everything but an open po-
litical revolution.
The Europeans cannot understand
why the Volstead act was passed, nor
can they countenance our method of
enforcement. England and France
object rather bitterly to United States'
interference with foeign ships car-
rying a sealed supply of liquor in-
side the three mile limit. Mr. Hughes
has endeavored to explain the situa-
tion, as only Mr. Hughes can, by tell-
ing the Continentals that the discom-
fort that they must bear is no greater
than the difficulty that we experience
from having foreign flags flown un-
der false pretenses, on professional
rum runners.:

the men honored are alumni of the
university and. all of them are dis-
tinguished in their respective fields.3
Mr. Josia Wyatt Willis, of Buffalo,
was made a master of arts. Entering
the university directly following the
Civil War in which he served as vol-
unteer member of the 26th Michigan
infantry he graduated with the class

the time of his graduation he has at-
tained distinction as an educator in
the schools of Michigan and New
York, being actively engaged in the
work for a half century. '
Mr. Sidney Corning Eastman, an-
other member of the class vhich
commemorates its fiftieth Commence-
ment Anniversary this year was also
the conferee of master of arts. He

and has been busily engaged ever.
since the time of his graduation in
promoting the interests of the uni-
versity.
Mr. Henry N. Stevens, of London,
England, was also given the degree of
master of arts. As a bibliographer
and an authority in maps and liter-
ature dealing with the 4mstory of
early America. he has attained high
distinction in his field.
Mr. John Barnes Miller was the last
to receive the honorary title of mas-.
ter of arts. Leaving the college of
Literature, Science and the Arts af-
ter two years of study, in 1889, he
became a successful organizer of
electric light and power companies
in California. As president of the
Edison Electric company from,1901
to 1909 and as presiden't of the South-
ern California Edison company since
then and as trustee and director of
numerous civic and philanthropic or-
ganizations he has attained a prom-
inence as a public-spirited citize.
Mr. Frederick Wlaeir Stevens, of,
Ann Arbor, a graduate of the law

torney for western Michigan and gen-
eral consul for the Pere Marquette

distinction.
Mr. Bruno V. Nordberg, a graduate
of the University of Helsingfors and
president of the Nordberg Manufac-
turing company was given the degree
of doctor of engineering in apprecia-
tion of his many contributions to the
practical application of scientific
theories, the thermo-dynamic theory
in particular. Mr. Nordberg, who is
critically ill at his home in Sweden,
was granted the degree in absentia
upon special vote of the Board of Re-
gents.
Dr. George Edmund de Sweinitz,
Professor of Ophthalmology in the
University of Pennsylvania and pres-
ident of the American Medical. asso-
ciation was, made a doctor of science

It is doubtful that such an answer
will appease the French or English.
Mr. Hughes' calls to their attention a
fatile situation utterly hopeless for
any nation to cope with. How can
the English assure the lawful use of
their flag without patrolling our coast'
waters? And while we are thumbing
our noses at the Continent the situa-
tion within our borders approaches
the dimensions of a revolution, subtle
though it may be. Political platforms,
are being built of prohibition planks,
Detroit the "wettest city in the Unit-
ed States" is being pumped dry. Vig;-
ilantes are being organized in -the
south, and the three mile "dry" ocean
ruling is in effect: all this has been
done by the Federal government. The
states have shown little or no dis-
position to use drastic measures. -
New York's wet vote precipitated
the desperate activity on the part of
the government to avoid the spread
{ of sentiment in favor of a wet United'
States. New York, the state where
many great political battles have been
,fought has sent prohibition glimmer-
ing for the present.

Michigan's baseball season came to
an inglorious close on Ferry field,
Saturday, when the University ofI
Washington crack team walked awayt
with the second of a two-game inter-
sectional series, 10-2.f
Poor fielding and an inability to
hit the ball consistently were thej
causes for the Maize and Blue de-
feat. The many errors of the Wol-
verines were responsible for not a
few of the runs of the western Crew,i
especially in the first inning when the
coast team scored four runs and only
one batsmen hit safely.
Three Pitchers Used
Michigan used three pitchers in itsI
attempt to win honors Saturday, but
each was given poor support. With
the exception of Bakke and Lever
none of the Washington crew garner-
ed more than one safe bingle, and
none of the hits went for more than
:one base.
The first inning started poorly
when Uteritz fumbled a grounder and
Barrett got to first. Shackleford add-
ed to the misery when he fielded
Welts' bunt and threw b'ad to Uter-
itz. Lewis forced Welts out at sec-
ond, Barrett taking third. Gardner'
