Jickling GIFTS TO THE UNIVERSITY The Detroit Free Press in speaking of President Hutchin's recent report in which he points out that gifts amounting oniy to $2,000,000 have been given to the University in the last 10 years suggests that "some philanthropically disposed citizen of Michigan can perform a valuable serv- ice to his state and nation if he will establish a large endowment" for the University. It seems almost opposed to Michigan's ideals of democracy, of which we are so proud, that the Uni- versity should have to depend to largely upon the few "philanthropical- ly disposed citizens" for the financial aid supplementary to that of the state treasury. With the exception of the new Michigan Union building, Alumni Memorial hall, and a possible one or two other projects, gifts to the Uni- versity have been those of philan- thropy. In the cases of Alumni Memorial hall and the new Michigan Union there has been something greater than philanthropy. There has been a re- sponse by the alumni body to the sense of duty and obligation, and the feeling that every Michigan graduate owes more to the University than he can ever repay. It is along such lines that a greater growth and develop- ment should be fostered, and the feel- ing of obligation to the University should not make its doubtful appear- ance for the first time years after graduation, but rather it should be fully instilled during the undergrad- uate days. Possibly there are too many of us who leave the University with the idea that we have fully re- imbursed it for value received by the mere payment of our annual tuition. One of the purposes of the Student council and the combined memorial committees of all the senior classes last year in starting a single memorial of all classes and departments in the form of a large endowment fund was to develop to a greater degree the spirit of giving, to the University. It washoped too that before long this, endowment fund might be added to by gifts from the alumni. Most important of all, it is to be hoped that the plan conceived last year will be adopted by the classes of 1917, thus changing a system of small and practically useless gifts to one which will in time and with steady growth become of great benefit to the University, a gift coming not from the philanthropy of an occasional indiv- idual, but rather from the sense of obligation of the entire student and alumni bodies. A CONFERENCE REFERENDUM The Daily is printing. this morning a communication taking issue with the statement made by one of Michigan's representatives at the Student council conference at Purdue to the effect that a majority of Michigan students and faculty members favored a return to the western conference. The commun- icant goes farther and asks that the Student council conduct a referendum vote to be taken on the campus in order to register student sentiment in regard to Michigan's possible return to the conference. It has appeared to The Daily through sentiment expressed in com- munications, and general expression of sentiment on the campus, that Michi- gan students for the most part favor a resumption of athletic relations with our western rivals. If there is a strong faction on the campus at the present time which is opposed to a return, we believe that the question should be thoroughly discussed and a referendum vote conducted by the Stu- dent council. While it believes that an immediate resumption of western re- lations is necessary for the best inter- ests of Michigan athletics, The Daily does not believe that this step should be taken in opposition to the will of the student and alumni bodies. Ac- cordingly The Daily will continue to hold its columns open for a free dis- cussion of the subject, and in the event that opposition is indicated un- friendly to a resumption of conference relations will recommend to the conn- cil that a vote be taken. WANTS CONFERENCE VOTE STUDENT ASKS THAT COUNCIL CONDUCT REFERENDUM ON RE- TURN TO "BIG NINE" Editor, The Michigan Daily: I would like to make inquiry as to where the representative of Michi- gan at Purdue last week obtained his authority for telling the other dele- gates at that conference that "the stu- dents, faculty, and alumni are now al- most unanimously in favor of" re- turning to the conference? And if he was so authorized to speak, on what basis was that authority given? Who knows how the majority of the stu- dents, faculty and alumni stand on this QUARRY DRUG CO'S. Preseription Store Cor.

Why has there not been a similar vote taken this year? Has the campus no recourse against the narrow, one sided, selfish campaign that has been conducted in the editorials of your paper? I am of the firm belief that the campus in general is not in favor of this return. And if the alumni as-7 sociations which are not situated so< near the conference colleges were tor be given a chance to vote on the ques- Successors to F. L. Hall 514 E.

If it is up to the Student council to conduct such a vote then let's see some action at once so the Regents may know how the students stand on a return. In 1913 the students voted against it and the Regents did also. FRANK L. WALTERS, '16-'19L. .
