ELIZA DARLING, of Michigan University, writes to the Nation that May Wright Thompson, when she says that she "is informed that at Ann Arbor most of the lady students are believers in suffrage," is wrongly informed. Her own opinion is based on the result of an inquiry among the ladies of the literary department; of the fifty-three interviewed, two would give no opinion whatever, five were undecided, fourteen in favor of woman's suffrage, and thirty-two more or less decidedly opposed. Only the voice of the Annex can decide this vexed question...
...light, agile player, as, on account of the small team, it would be absolutely necessary to pick men for their ability to stop a rusher. A slip on a muddy spot at a critical moment, or a thousand other accidents, would be far more influential in determining the result of a game than they are at present, and therefore the skill on either side would not be fairly tried.

...instance, one hundred and seventy-five dollars is asked for a room on the ground-floor of Thayer, and also for one on the fourth floor. Considering the best of the rooms are cold, comfortless and undesirable, such a price is simply out of all proportion. As a result, there are now vacant nineteen rooms in this one building; for no one - not even a Freshman - will pay so dear, when he can be much more comfortably lodged elsewhere for half the price. This is true, not of this building alone, but of nearly all those owned by the University...
...most of the spectators the result was a gratifying surprise; for, though our team contained some fine individual players, it has had no opportunities for testing its playing powers against a well-organized team. The Unions, unquestionably, were posted on all the fine points of the game, and supported each other splendidly, and gave our team a well-improved opportunity for practice...
