The play will be mounted in fine style in the Ann Arbor Opera House on June 26. This is the first evening in commencement, and many alumni of Michigan University...

Unfortunately the land revenues of the colleges have suffered from the competition of Western America, and money is wanting to carry out some of the most desirable improvements. Broadly considered, the advantages of English university education may be said to consist in the combination of college and university life.
