College  authorities  believe  that  the  triumph  of 
Pervenche  is  the  first  instance  in  which  a  horse 
owned  by  a  college  carried  off  the  honor. 

The  fact  that  Michigan  was  able  to  bring  back 
such  a  large  percentage  of  the  available  prizes  is 
significant  because  of  the  position  of  the  college 
in  relation  to  the  agriculture  of  the  state  but  back 
of  it  lies  the  fact,  often  overlooked,  that  in  farm

Wells  Hall  has  reached  its  ultimate  goal.  An 
"open  house"  was  sanctioned  for 
the  dormitory 
on  December  7  and  the  residents  entertained  their 
guests  at  dancing  in  the  society  rooms  on  the  top 
floors  of  wards  A  and  F.  Formerly  the  guests 
at  such  affairs  were  all  male  members  of 
the 
student  body  and  on  some  occasions  their  presence 
was  the  result  of  a  royal  "command." 
It  is  in

"civilization"  upon  some  of  the  most  sacred  pre 
cincts  of  the  campus.  With  Williams  hall  but  a
