ex- Ediitr ed, weak, and ineffective ones. The board has been lenient with us in the past, thinking, possibly, that we need the experience of failure to jog us up and show to us what is valuable and what is not. Never- theless, with the increasing size of the University, it would seem to be about time that some sane judgment were used in jthe inauguration of campus activities. This the students have shown themselves either unable or unwilling to exercise and naturally so. The board, however, can remedy the situation if it will set about systematically to do so. THE PASSING OF OLD TOWN History tells us that the little hamlet, from which grew the present city of Ann Arbor, first came into being through a little group of huts or cottages, situated north of the river, along the road which now leads from the Broadway bridge. That was nearly one hundred years ago. "Old Town," the name by which we generally call the district north of the tracks, however, is not espec- ially attractive nowadays, and the more prosaic of us pass it by continually with perhaps never a thought as to its origin and its story. Old Town is fast being robbed of its former glory. New brick pavements are taking the place of the old dirt streets; the modern power house has stood for some time on the very edge of the pickanniny-pop- ulated district which was once the real Ann Arbor; and only within the past few months has a new and wholly up-to-date garage, with gasoline filling station and all, taken its place in othe center of the place's activities as a reminder that, the old tavern and its neighboring buildings notwithstanding, "times do change." Old Town, the probable site of Rumsey's coffee house, and the location in later years of some of the finest homes of which the thriving little city could boast, is rapidly suffering the encroachment of modern methods. In a few more years, probably, the most picturesque section of the continually-in- viting Ann Arbor will have lost all its quaintness through the general growth and spreading out of industry. How long will it be before we may ex- pect a modern sky-scraper, with elevators and office directories, to appear in all its dominance on the present site of the Old Town inn?

We suggest the rounding off of all four corners of the campus, as at South U. and State, thus to make more ernjoyable and less hazardous the capers of local mile-a-minute demons and crack speed- artists. Might as well have our little speedway up- to-date. Do not the chunks of chilliness, that we have been getting along with our warmer weather recently, furnish an excellent excuse for soda merchants to retain high prices? Naturally, business falls off terribly during these little nippy spells. Little bits of trampling, Prints of little feet, TMake our precious campus sod Unrecognizable. We were never quite able to formulate our policy until recently, when somebody kindly expressed it for us as follows: "The reduction of soda prices, the promotion of general cussedness, and the foster- ing of all that is evil." Others' Opinions GOOD MUSIC (The Grand Rapids News) One of the reasons for the success of the Dunbar Opera company at Ramona theater is its insistence upon a high standard of light opera and musical comedies. There is a very real demand here for good music, and the Dunbar company has given us good music. Also it has presented capable singers. We have the assurance of S. George Graves, gen- eral manager of the Young and Chaffee Furniture company, that the performances at Ramona have stimulated the demand for the best class of Victrola records. There is positive evidence that the city has been benefited in a musical way by the light opera presentatiA. It was the desire of the Ramona man- agement to cater to the best element when it brought the Dunbar company here for the summer, and it is gratifying to know that the management has wit- nessed the results so speedily. "Undoubtedly," says Mr. Graves, "high class music is one of the greatest agencies for good. When people hear good music, they want more of it, and not only that, but it makes them think better and be better. Under my own observation has come the fact that after people hear good music given by an opera company, they buy the better class of rec- ords, so that they may have the same thing in their homes." Some persons often wonder why the forward looking people keep insisting upon what we all half- sneeringly call "highbrow" stuff in music, on the stage, in literature and in art. The fact is that if the standard was not held high it would soon de- teriorate. There are always a lot of persons hang- ing on the skirts of every movement. If they are left alone they will drag the movement down, no matter what it is. We need constantly to have the best in music, the best in literature, the best in art, if only to counter- balance the iazz. the nothoilers and the erazv ifutr- Daily Service Big Steamer Put-In-Bay Capacity 3270 Passengers Finest exclusive Excursion Steamer, Largest Ball Room, Finzel's Orchestra.
