ADAM flEQUEATIIS UNION
$100().00.
A bequest of $100 has been
made to the Michigan Union by
Carl H. 0. Adam, '10, whose la-
mented death occurred last Mon-
day. Word concerning this one
of the last wishes of the well
known and well beloved young
man, was received at the Michi-
gan Daily office last night in the
form of a telegram from Victor
Jose, '13 L, at Indianapolis.
No notice of the gift had been
received at the Union last night,
and it is not known whether it
was made by a will or by verbal
request. Adam's bequest is the
second ever to have been left to
the Michigan Union. Last year
a like amount was left to the or-
ganization by Logan Cheek, '10
L, of Kentucky. The sum was
made a part of the building
fund, and Manager Heath ex-
pressed the belief last night that
a like disposition would be made
with the amount lately acquir-

SENORS WILL
F SURANVKS T
The climax of all the public festivi-
ties of the week was reached last ev-
ening when an all-senior sing, a con-
cert, by the 26th Infantry band, and
the senior promenade were given.
With the completion of these practi-
cally everything concerned with the
Seventy-fifth Anniversary Celebration
except the Commencement Day exer-
cises comes to an end.
The campus was beautifully lighted
with many hundreds of Japanese lan-
terns hung in rows above the walks,
which twined in and out from the li-
brary to the law building on one side
and to the Memorial hall on the
other, and when viewed from a dis-
tance while gently swaying in the
wind made a decoration unsurpassed
by none, in both beauty and simplicity.
While the band was discoursing its
music to the several thousand appre-
ciative listeners, a searchlight played
upon the crowd, while the nearby
lights of both the chemical and med-
ical buildings showed up the scene
with great brilliance. Several pieces.
were rendered by the musicians, and
were enthusiastically encored.
Senior Promenade and Reception.
Occurring at the same time as the
concert was the senior promenade,
taken part in by many of the near-
graduates. Forming in front of Me-
morial hall the line passed through
Universtiy hall, down South University
to the engineering building and down
the diagonal walk, ending finally at
the starting point.
Following shortly ,after this was the
senate reception, given to delegates,
invited guests, graduates and seniors,
by the UniversitySenate. It was large-
ly attended, nearly twenty-five hun-
dred guests being present. Music was
furnished by the military band.
Campus "Cops" on Duty.
To do away with small boys appro-
priating the Japanese lanterns and to
preserve general order, Chief of Police
Apfel officially swore in sixty under-
graduated to act as a vigilance com-
mittee. No trouble, however, was ex-
perienced, as all the small boys were
seemingly not desirous of "starting"
anything.
Academic Procession Unique.
Over five thousand people lined the
walks of the campus in the morn-
ing.\to witness one of the most unique
spectacles ever seen in this city, when
nearly two hundred academic guests
and faculty members, accompanied by
over a thousand alumni and five hun-
dred seniors, marched in stately pro-
cession from Memorial hall to the big
canvas pavilion. The visiting dele-
gates from other schools presented a
novel and impressive appearance in
their varl-colored academic robes,
while the new Michigan colors were
much in evidence on the costumes of
faculty members of the university.
The procession was headed by the1
26th United States infantry band,,and
following were the alumni of the uni-
versity. Next in the line of march

To Baribeau must be given a large
portion of the credit for the much ap-
preciated and much needed victory.
But two clean hits were made off his
delivery during the ten fiercely con-
tested rounds that it took to decide the
issue. Those two hits fell together
but even at that he might not have
been scored on had his support been
perfect. A single, immaterial pass, is-
sued after two had expired in the
tenth, speaks for his control.
Alumni Furnish Pepper and Features,
The "old boys" did as much to make
the afternoon a banner one as the
ball players. They turned out in
bunches and yelled and sang as fans
ought to. The '02 parade, much in ev-

THE OLD BOYS CAN STILL TELL 'EN.
Geo. M. Lane, '53, a former secretary
of the Detroit Board of Commerce,
found a comfortable chair in Memorial
hall and proceeded to tell about some
of the stunts that happened while he
was in college.
"Back in those days they made us
go to chapel every morning," he said.
"The boys didn't like the idea so nat-
urally they concocted many little
schemes to give their absence a plaus-
ible appearance. There was a large
bell on the campus and when we heard
it ringing we knew that it was time for
the chapel services to begin.
"One cold morning in the middle of
winter a number of students jumped
out of their beds before daylight with
a fixed determination to stop the old
bell from sending out its daily sum-
mons. They made their way to the
little belfry each carrying a bucket of
water. The old bell was turned upside
down and filled with the contents
of their pails. In a half hour the
water had become a solid mass of ice,
the clapper could not perform its ser-
vices and there was no call to chapel
that morning."
E. Bancker, '60 L, who has practiced
law for the last twenty years in Jack-
son, tells this one: "One of our pro-
fessors insisted on delivering long and
prosy lectures and they were so dull
that we determined to take some dras-
tic measures to suppress them. At
that time an old donkey was roaming
about the campus so the boys captur-
ed him one morning, lead him into the
lecture room, and gave him the place
usually occupied by our instructor.
"When the professor arrived and
found the platform occupied he was
exceedingly abashed but recovered
sufficiently to say to the class: "Gen-
tlemen, I find that you have chosen
one of your own number to address
you this morning so I shall postpone
my lecture for the present."
'76 Was a Live Class!
Out in front of the museum enjoying
the shade of the tall maples, a reporter
found a number of alumni wearing
badges of the seventies.
"Why the class of '76 was the live-
liest bunch that ever left our Alma
Mater,' they said.
"Forepaws circus came to town one
day, and all the boys went and sat to-
gether," said one of the veterans.
"Whenever a clown came out and
cracked a bum joke we showed our
disapproval. Then Forepaw himself
made us a little speech and said he
wanted the disturbance stopped. If
they wouldn't let us enjoy their fun
in the tent we decided to have our
own outside so we left the place and
proceeded to play havoc with the show.
"The nuts on the wagon axles were
taken off and carried away, bottles of
sulphuric acid were thrown n top
of the tent after the corks had been
taken out and then the acid ran down
and ate the canvass. When the tents of youth eternal, and years have only
