Among the many things that are
regarded as Michigan tradition, per-
haps the most important are incidents
connected with the old campus fence.
Relics made from the old wooden
fence, now in the possession of many
of the older graduates of the Univer-
sity, are considered of inestimable
value. They are final remembrances
of former events and scenes, and are
looked upon as a means of cherishing
old Micigan ideals.
Among the number of relics from
the old fence, there is one that has
been of especial -interest in campus
circles. It is a gavel that was pre-
sented President Angell as a remem-
brance of the fence, at the time it was
torn down. Ever since that time, the
gavel has been in the possession of
the president of the Board of Regents,
and has been used at all their meet-
ings. It is said that it was made from
the cedar of one of the posts that sup-
ported the fence.
Last week the gavel was taken to
one of the jewelers of the city to have
a band placed around it with the in-
scription "This was presented to Pres-
ident Angell in 1888 from the old
campus fence." It is expected that
the gavel will continue to be used by
the presiding officer at all the Re-
gents' meetings.
There were two fences that sur-
rounded the campus in the early days
of theUniversity. The first was a rail
fence constructed roughly of logs.
The purpose of it, according to one of
the oldest residents of the city, was
not for its value as a ornament, but
as a means of protection from cows
and sheep that grazed about the city.
It is said that it was not unusual for
them to be driven from private lots
surrounding city homes, and even at
the present time, there are fences in
the city that were built primarily for
the same reason. Some are known to
be more than 40 years of age.
The second fence around the campus
was considerably more ornamental.
It was a picket fence with numerous
cedar posts. Instead of gates there
were large openings all along the mile
fence, and it is thought to have been
six feet high, in order to insure more
adequate protection. When the fence
was torn down, the timber was sold to
one of the business men of the city
for a comparatively small amount. The
cedar posts were largely taken by in-
dividuals, however, and transformed
into various relics that are still known
to be in the possession of old grad-
uates. One woman in the city has a
picture frame.made of this cedar, and
also a bowl which was made in the
engineering department of the Univer-
sity.
Many stories are told of the old
wooden fence. One is that the .stu-
dents, in their class fights, strove to
put each other over the fence, and
many interesting struggles are known
to have taken place. The fence is
reported to have been the scene of
many a hard fought battle between the
sophomores and freshmen.
Another interesting fact that is told
by an old Michigan graduate, is that
the fence at one time was a source of
protection from the law. Inside of
the fence, students were free from
the hands of the Ann Arbor author-
ities. Students were able to com-
mit any affense, and once within the
bounds of the old wooden fence, could
not be taken by the authorities. Num-
erous instances have been referred to
of students jumping over the fence
and grinning at the police. In spite
of the defiance, the police were power-..
less to act.
The fence is supposed to have been
torn down in 1886.

City Din Strengthens Ear Nerves
London, May 11.-Army Medical
men have made the discovery that
city boys have better ears than those
from country districts. Only one re-
cruit in five from quiet neighborhoods
has the keen hearing possessed by the
average city dweller. It is assumed
that the quiet of the country tends
to weaken, through disuse, the nerves
of the ear, while the din of the town
keeps the nerves responsive.
