How would you like to attend a.
University where the necessary ex-f
penses for a year, including board,I
washing, and books, ranged betweenl
$70 and $100?
Impossible, you say,-but this is'
quoted directly from the catalogue oft
the department of arts and science oft
the University of Michigan publishedt
in 1845,-incidentally, one of the old-t
est University bulletins ever printed.t
Personally, we do not believe that
this could be possible even in theg
days- when potatoes were bought -byt
the barrel instead of the pound and
the H. C. L. bugaboo didn't exist, for
the reason that the current annual ex-
penses in the University cataloguet
are stated as being between $300 andz
$400, when in reality they amount to
almost twice that sum, for some.
Difference Between Now and Then
Another marked difference betweeny
the University in 1845 and the Uni-
versity today is that the faculty then
consisted of seven professors, while
the total student enrollment compris-,
ed 53 men, mostly from Ann Arbor and
the nearby vicinity. Today the Uni-1
versity has a faculty consisting of
several hundred members and an en-f
rollment list of thousands of students.
Again, the total list of subjects for
four years covers about a page and a
half of the catalogue of the '40s, while
today Registrar Arthur G. Hall is
fond of saying that it would require a
man 70 years to take up all the courses
in the various subjects taught in the1
literary college alone, and that even
then he would not have exhausted all,
the learning possibilities at the Uni-
versity of Michigan.
Division of Scholastic Year
The school term was divided in three
quarters of 11 weeks each in those
bygone days, including a winter, sum-
mer, and fall term. Classical lan-
guages meant as much to the studentt
then as French does to the Yankee to-
day, and the candidate for admission
had to take examinations in Virgil,
Cicero's select orations, Sallust,
Jacob's or Felton's Greek reader, An-
drew's and Stoddard's Latin Grammer,
and Sophocles' Greek Grammar.
The library of that day contained
between four and five thousand books,
"bought a few years ago in Europe,"
while today there are between three
and four hundred thousand volumes
in the library, one of the largest col-
lections in the country.
Tuition was gratuitous in 1845, but
a fee of from $5 to $7.50 a year had to
be paid for incidental expenses, and
for the services of the janitor, an ex-
ceedingly important individual- of
whom 'there exists pictures, showing
him ringing a dinner bell to callstu-
dents to their classes, somewhat in
the capacity of a campus clock.

State Will Honor
Mothers Tomorrow
To symbolize love and reverence
for the mothers of the nation on
Mothers' day, the second Sunday in
May, Governor Sleeper calls upon
"both the old and young to gather in
their respective places of worship, and
take part in the services appropriate
to the day, by wearing a red flower for
the living mother, and a white one for
the dear departed."
Governor Sleeper also urges "that
absent sons and daughters take this
occasion to visit, if possible, the moth-
er in the old home, or where such a
visit is impossible, that they send
a message of cheer and greeting. By
this may the mothers know that they
are not forgotten."
Praises Mothers
"The mothers of the land are freely
spending time, energy, and ability in
many useful forms of war service,
and Mothers' day ought to make an
especially strong appeal to us this year"
reads the proclamation setting May
12 aside as Mothers' Day. " More than
all, not counting the cost, they are
bravely giving up their sons in the
cause of liberty; and it is entirely
fitting, while we honor the memory of
the dead, that we should make men.-
tion also of the splendid spirit of ser-
vice and sacrifice which animates the
living."
Originator of Day
Mrs. Juliet Calhoun Blakely, of Al-
bion Michigan, is regarded locally as
the original mother of Mothers' day.
"Grandma" Blakely will be 100 years.
of age on May 13~ the day following
Mothers' day. May 10, 1908, was the
official birth of this day of reverence,
but long before this the annual reun-
ion of the Blakely family, on May 13,
had become a fixture in Albion, and
the second Sunday was set apart for
a special Mothers' day service at the
Methodist church, the natal day of Mrs.
Blakely occasionally falling on that
Sunday.
