dents to discharge capably the activi-
ties of the campus. We do acknow-
ledge, however, that itis lack of Inter-
est and loyalty that holds these men
down.
The most optimistic of us believe'
that Michigan is capable of holding
her own this year, even in the face
of her depleted numbers. And there
are others who sincerely believe that
Michigan students, the few of them'
left, are not only capable of holding,
Michigan's own, but are able to ad-'
vance her cause.
We know of many instances whereE
a small force of soldiers have defeat-
ed a much larger one, simply because
of their willingness to put forward all
the effort and ability at their com-
mand. The war contagion should not
be centralized upon military matters
alone; we who have been left behind
in the march of humanity's army
should take new heart and resolver
"that these honored dead shall notE
have died in vain;" that out of the de-x
bris they have left behind will spring
up a greater University,-a greater

REASONS FOR CHANGE IN TIME
GIVEN IN LETTER TO COUNCIL
Secretary Smith Sets Forth Handicaps
To Military Training Under
Old Time
The following letter. setting forth
the reasons of the University for mak-
ing a change in time was sent to the
Ann Arbor council and read at their
recent meeting:
"To the Ann Arbor City Council,
Ann Arbor, Mich.:
"Gentlemen-In order that the mem-
bers of your honorable body, and the
city officials, and the public in general
may not have any wrong impression
of the attitude of the regents of the
University when directing a change
from central standard to eastcra stand-
ard time, and in general to avoid misun-
derstandings, I take the liberty of
communicating to you the facts of the
case.
"Ever since the opening of the Uni-
versity this year the faculty and the
military department in particular have
endeavored in every way possible to
adalt themselves to a schedule, which
while presenting difficulties still gave
as much time as possible for the pres-
eut important military work. The
schedule has in general, however, fall-
en soo rar short o wht art felt to be
the necessities of the case, that every
dean, the director of the chemical lab-
oratory, and the professor of military
science, joined in a request to the Re-
gents to adopt eastern standard time
as the best thing to do under the cir-.
cumstances. This step has not been
taken under the impression that the
condition will be ideal or without
great regret for such confusion as
may follow.
"As stated above, I make this com-
munication to your honorable body
with the hope that through a know-
ledge of the motives and the circum-
stances involved, we may all keep
clear of any of those misunderstand-
ings which are so unfortunate for any
city when they arise.
Respectfully yours,
SHIRLEY W. SMITH,
Secretary."
