even has approached the point where
it is considered proper was used wide-
ly by students in 1895. Also one ex-
pression, evidently derived from cal-
culus, and which meant a failure to
recite or that a person was confused
was "dy over dx."
'Botanical' Slang
Since the classification of the slang
in the article by Professor Scott was
descriptive, there were several di-
visions under two heads. One of the
divisions was headed by the word "bo-
tanical." Some of the words listed
under this heading are easily recog-
nizable today.
Other words listed under "botan-
ical" were "peach," which also meant
one who is sweet and charming-
something that is excellent, well done,
and which is pleasing and delightful.
Perhaps the most colorful of all
expressions under this last heading
was "squash," which referred to a
foolish, "soft" fellow.
Webster Inadequate
For words to express enthusiasm
or to proclaim the elegance or .fine-
ness of something the student of 40
years ago also found Webster and the
words in common usage inadequate,
and he resorted to many coinages
and slang expressions.
Some of these listed as used in 1895
were "scrumptious," "woozy," "jolly,"
and "slick," which is often heard on
the campus today. Some of these
have been carried over to the present
day and undoubtedly the present day
expressions of "ducky," "swell," and
numerous others were outgrowths of
these early expressions.
Other slang words that were pre-
dominant on the University campus
in 1895 were: "chiselly," "josh," "lu-
.. - - -
I
lu," "cussedness," "club," "colleger,"
"deader," (a weary or exhausted per-
son), "goner," "heller," (which meant
a remarkable person. This is perhaps
a different connotation than the word
has in student usage today), "tail-
ender," "foxey," "bad egg," and "sir-
rocco-sifters," which meant whiskers.
There was a great tendency for
students1to modify and shorten words
by dropping syllables or simply using
the first letters of a word in conver-
sation. Some of these were: "hen-
medic," (which means a female med-
ical student), "i.d.t," which meant
"I don't think," "p.d.q." which when
translated meant pretty d-n quick,
q.t., n.g., and d.y.w.y.k., which 'when
defined meant "don't you wish you
knew?"
Verbs Remain Unzhanged
Some of the other shortened words
in common usage were: "dent," for a
student of dentistry, "fash," for "fa-
shion," "frosh," for freshman "how-
dy," for how do you do, "mun," for
money, "phenom," for phenomenon,
"tute." for tutor, and "varsity," for
university.
Apparently there was not much
tendency in 1895 to change the mean-
ing of verbs. Today we hear fre-
quently such phrases as "I'm
whipped," or "I'm bushed," or "I'm
sunk," and "My goose is cooked," and
"that exam got me down," but these
do not appear in Scott's pamphlet,
By studying the expressions pre-
dominant 40 years ago, it is not dif-
ficult to see that they were the foun-
dation of many of the expressions
used by students today. Also a study
of these expressions reveals that a
number of present day slang expres-
sions were not coined in recent years
but originated many years ago.
Nosirree -Can't Spark Here

I'
By I. S. Silverman
In the days when girls were coy
and men were bashful, convention
dictated that the men students sit
on one side of the reading room of
the "old library" and the women
students on the other.
However, toward the closing years
of the "old library" this practice was
discouraged. It was also violated
when the librarywas crowded andat
other times by bold individuals who
slid close to the imaginary boundary
line so that some naive damsel might
sidle close to him, or vice versa.
This was the case in the "old li-
brary," the building which occupied
the site of the present library before
the new one was built. It was a
curiously shaped structure with ap-
pendages jutting out on all sides. Dr.
William W. Bishop, present librarian
and first librarian of the new build-
ing, likened the library to a Missis-
sippi steamboat - the rotunda, the
prow; the towers, the smoke stacks;
the book stacks, the rear paddles.
Had Two Towers
Two towers flanked both sides of
the building, one of which contained
the clock and the famous chimes
which were modeled after the re-
nowned chimes at Jesus College in
great artistic merit, although it con-
tained some famous pieces. It inclu-
ed a marble statuary of "Nidia-
The Blind Girl of Pompei," by Ran-
dolph Rogers, a plaster cast of Lewis
Cass, famous Michigan governor and
statesman, and "Twins," by the
French painter, Bouguergeau.
But it was not the art gallery that
was the center of interest on the sec-
ond floor but thefamed "whispering
gallery." This was a narrow, dark,
circular passageway surrounding the
roof of the rotunda into which two
doors led, one from each end of the
gallery. The slightest whisper given
on one .side of the passageway could
be distinctly heard on the other. This
was an uncanny situation to the un-
initiated but it was easily explained
by the circular and enclosed effect
of the gallery.
If the gallery could only re-utter
some of the whispers which have cir-
cumvented its walls, many humorous
incidents would come to light. It was
quite the accepted practice to take
the freshmen to the gallery and in-
still in them a sense of fear for their
upperclassmates and a feeling of rev-
erence and awe for the potentialities
of the library.
of the fraternities held parties," he
went on. "We used to reserve that
every Christmas, have a big Christ-
mas tree, and really have a good
time."
No Intoxication
"But nobody became intoxicated,"
he recalled. "Course when we were
going to have or had a big game,
and especially when we won, there
would be pandemonium in town, and
it would be all you could do to get
into Joe's."
O. A. Moe, a barber at 705 North
University Ave., who has lived in Ann
Arbor all his life, agreed with Mr.
Millen. "They never became intoxi-
cated before Cap Night or any other
traditional affair like they did after
Prohibition, but as soon as the thing
was over everybody'd head for Joe's
or some other place.
"Freshmen weren't allowed to enter
Joe's although they could go into
any other place. It was strictly a
hang-out for upper-classmen. Then
on Cap Night when everything was
over they'd all make a dash for Joe
Parker's where they'd see the inside
for the first time."
The Tow and Gown, an organi-
zation of Ann Arbor business men
and members of the faculty, held a
meeting above Joe Parker's at least
once a week, Mr. Moe said.
History Lost
The history of Joe's place has been
lost in time. His father ran his
saloon before he got it and nobody
can remember back quite that far.
For the majority of its years Joe
Parker's was on Main St.; but he
moved around a couple of times, Mr.
Millen said. He lingered on a short
time after the advent of prohibition.
according to Mr. Millen, but he closed
up and died several years ago. He
took his varnished table-tops with
the names carved on them wherever
he moved, and when he closed up they
were placed on the walls of the Union
Tap Room where they are today.
The history of the Orient is even
more obscure than that of Joe Park-
er's. It was located on Main St. just
across from the County Court House,
Mr. Millen recalled, but it wasn't
nearly as popular as Joe's. Both he
and Mr. Moe thought "the Orient"
was put in the song just because
it sounded right and not because it
was a favorite hang-out for the stu-
dents.
Much more popular than the Or-
ient, they thought, was Larry
Damm's, located just around the
corner from Joe's. "I don't remem-
ber much about that place," said Mr.
Millen, "but they always served good
her there."
No brief survey of slang would be
complete without stating what va-
rious expressions were used to denote
the hard-working students. Nowa-
days we hear "Phi Bete," "greasy
grind," "pedant," "plods," and "brain
trust."
The compilation of Professor Scott
cites several expressions that were
common 40 years ago in describing
the student who worked and studied
hard. Some of these were "bohn"
-this probably brought about our use
of the word "boning up" which was
used to refer to those studying for
an exam-"shark on stilts," and
"cooler."
Slang expressions referring to stu-
dents who were not known for their
brilliance in school work 40 years ago
were almost as numerous as those of
today. Some of the words used in
this connection w e r e "duffer,"
"flunk," which is used very commonly
today, "chump," and "screw."
There were also a good many words
in the pamphlet edited by Professor
Scott to express confusion or a
"muddled state of mind." "Razzle-
dazzled," "balled-up," "rattled," "fall
over oneself," and "to ascend com-
pletely up the spout," were included
in this classification.
The word "fluke" which is in very
Everbody Takes
SaturdayClasses
All students enrolled in the College
of Literature, Science and the Arts,
the University's largest unit, will be
compelled to take at least one Sat-
urday class. This will be the second
year that this rule has been effective.
The ruling, made May 10, 1935, by
a committee of faculty men under
the chairmanship of Prof. George R.
LaRue of the zoology department, re-
quires specifically that: "Each stu-
dent be required to have a Saturday
class, and ghat a committee be ap-
pointed to grant exemptions from
Saturday work only to those students
who have legitimate reasons for such
exemptions."
The committee's action was neces-
sary, Processor LaRue explained at
that time, because of congestion in
classes rather than because the group
wished to "cut down" student week-
ends or force students to remain in
Ann Arbor over the weekend.
"The increase in the number of
students in the literary college last
fall created an unusual demand for
classrooms," Professor LaRue ex-
plained when the ruling was made.
