AT MICHIGAN With the re-establishment next fall of the R. O. T. C. unit in the Uni- sity students will have an opportunity to increase their military knowl- ge and at the same time pursue their academic work. They will be abled to fulfill duty to self and duty to country. The United States will ver go back to the former state of unpreparedness and the establish- nt of collegiate training schools for reserve officers is in direct keeping th the government's plan of universal service and maintaining of a large ly of trained men ready for instant action. Since the Great War the ited States has taken her place among .the nations of the world, a re- ionship which may at any time bring us into disagreement with other wers. But we will be prepared, and the R. 0. T. C. will form one of the its ready for action. It was the men who had previously received military training who re first given the big appointments in Uncle Sam's army upon the claration of war in 1917. This will again be the case in the event of other conflict. The man with the training will step right into his com- ssion and leave for the front, while his less fortunate brother or, we ght say, less far-sighted brother will go after a long wait to the train- i camps, there to spend much valuable time in arduous and hasty ining, trying to become an officer in a few months. Under the plans the new R. 0. T. C. the student will, after his first year of general ining, be allowed to choose which corps he desires to enter, and his Lining from then on will be centralized in the particular branch which has chosen. The course, which is planne' primarily for engineering dents, will be -doubly attractive to them, as many of the studies which B applicable to military science are also of value as technical training I vice versa. In both the former R. O. T. C. and S. A. T. C. units at Michigan an empt was made to combine military drill with academic study, a scheme ich resulted in somewhat of a failure. The new plan, however, will elate from a purely academic course during the school year only to the ent of requiring two hours of physical training per week, which in lf is of benefit to any student. The military instruction will be given three summer camps, each of six weeks duration, which offer a vaca- i and valuable training at the same time. In addition there is the ly ration allowance of 40 cents which the student will receive during juniori and senior years and, which, amounting to $12 a month, is not insignificant amount as compared with the few hours of work required earn it. The new R. 0 .T. C. has advantages which, we believe, r&commend it the careful consideration of students eligible to enrollment therein. THE FAILURE OF SUCCESS Always, when something seems to have been accomplished,-finished once and for all,-the relaxation brings a sense of regret, as though thing achieved had not been the thing sought. We do not regret ring run the race; we are only disappointed that it has ended. "Nothing ceeds like success," said someone-perhaps a philosopher. But it ld be said with equal assurance that "nothing fails like success." Strange, isn't it, that the thing attained loses its glamour? Examina- ts, for instance, look to be the ultra of life at a cerain season, while after while they scarcely seem to reflect real life at all. So, too, any honor the world, especially a personal honor, brings with it a feeling of self- sciousness that mars the beauty of the prize. The joy of attaining may satisfying, but realizati of the attainment is rather inadequate. Failure is not to be welcomed. It is scarcely pleasant to see your Iges burned, your ideals fallen like broken toys. But the victor ex- 4ences something of the same feeling as does the vanquished. It is not price that he pays for success, but the dismayed realization that there o success. Perhaps the compensation lies in the fact that, lacking satisfaction, nan always reaches higher. Enjoying the race, he refuses to stop ning. In spite of all condemnation thrust inadvertently upon ambi- t, it is true that more can be accomplished with ambition than without Selfishness is more often expressed by the lounger than by the climber. ling to find satisfaction in any particular achievement, a man may te into :is life pages that are at least full of meaning. Errors may there, but they are better than blank pages or pages of mystery. What though we see the emptiness of life, or hear its hollow ring? can face it expecting to find less, but wishing for a great deal more. ,t alone makes us eager for action, and with Kipling we are inclined say, "Here you old peoples-we have done nothing in the world. All work is to do; and it shall be done, old peoples." The University of California has just been given a gift of $1,500,000. tigan alumni, take notice! China wants security, says a headline.

Just think of all the awful mugs he has to lamp and smile back at them as though he really enjoyed it. As the old guard says, a button in the sewing mfchine is worth two in the top drawer. Just think how much space will be taken up describing birds who can beat Jack Dempsey after the baseball news is out of the paper this winter. Things Worth Knowing About Famous Men President Poincare of France, Eu- rope, usually puts on his collar before tying the cravat. It is said that Jack Dempsey always puts either the right or left shoe on first, never simultaneously. Lloyd-Georgesarises every morning before breakfast. Rumor hath it that President Wil- son never appears in evening dress before dark. Herbert Hoover puts little if no salt in his coffee. Our sport writer tells us that Ty Cobb always lathers his face before shaving. H. W. CAN YOU ANSWER THIS QUESTI ON? A " A. B. A. Travelers' Checks as issued by this bank.
