...part, which is almost as bad. Frequently there is no ball at hand, and a wooden block has to be substituted with very unsatisfactory results; and sometimes the ice is suitable for skating several days before it becomes generally known about college. Now, would it not be a good scheme to start a hockey club? There need be no elaborate organization; the dues should be nominal, merely enough to keep a supply of balls. The club would be notified through the CRIMSON every day when there is skating, and a good game would thus be assured. I think that many...
EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON:- The scheme of flooding Holmes Field appears to have been abandoned for good and all, since discussion of the subject has stopped altogether.

Surely nothing can be more indicative of the healthy demand for a liberal education, by the young men of the present generation than the statistics shown in a careful perusal of the new Harvard catalogue.

The suction of a large university...
...first foundations, therefore, were national. No steps were taken by the government towards university organization until the year 1817, when an act was passed establishing the "University of Michigan," and providing for thirteen professorships, including one for the historical sciences, or "diegetica," as they were called in the pedantic scheme of Judge Woodward, the framer of the act. The method of supplying the faculty was unique. A Scotch Presbyterian minister, John Monteith, was given six professors, in addition to the presidency; while Gabriel Richard, the Roman Catholic bishop of the Territory, took the six remaining chairs. In 1821 this preliminary...
