OPPOSITION  FAILS 

TO  CONTEST  BILL 
A  number  of  students  and  alumni  had 
gathered  in  the  chamber  of  the  house  to 
watch  the  disposal  of  the  name  change  bill 
and  when  the  clerk  announced  57  "ayes" 
there  was  prolonged  applause.  There  was 
a  strange  atmosphere  throughout  the  vot 
ing.  There  was  no  debate.  The  speaker 
announced  "the  question  is  now  on  the  pas 
sage  of  the  bill".  Representative  MacKin 
non  moved  that  an  affirmative  roll  call  be 
attached  but  the  negative  voices  were  too 
numerous  and  the  clerk  was  ordered  to  call 
the  roll.  With  the  completion  of  that  task 
the  struggle  of  alumni  and  students  over 
a  long  period  of  time  found  its  reward. 
There  was  evidently  no  seriously  organized 
opposition  to  the  measure  except  that  per 
sonal  feeling  which  some  of  the  legislators 
had  in  common  and  the  attempt  by  some 
organizations  to  influence  the  members  to 
vote  in  the  negative. 

Weekly  reviews  of  the  cadet  units,  cus 
tomary  during  the  spring  term,  began  on 
April  13  when  members  of

MRS.  RICHARD  HAIGH 

Mrs.  Cora  F.  Haigh,  wife  of  Richard 
Haigh,  '69,  died  at  her  home  in  Dearborn, 
Michigan,  on  March  9.  Haigh  was  con

tary  and  acting  secretary  from  1870  to 
1873  and  Mrs.  Haigh  was  well-known  to 
many  students  and  faculty  members  of 
that  time. 

The  following  account  is  taken  from  the 

Dearborn  Press : 

Mrs.  Cora  F.  Haigh  passed  away  at  her 
home,  462  Garrison  ave,  Monday  after

Evanston,  111.,  and  a  sister,  Miss  Jennie 
Fish,  who  has  been  one  of  the  family  for 
many  years. 

Mrs.  Haigh  was  a  daughter  of  Rev. 
Lemuel  B.  Fish,  a  Baptist  divine  who  held 
many  pastorates  in  Michigan  and  the  south,

Mrs.  Haigh  was  never  a  robust  woman

mourned  by  her  family  and  friends  and 
missed  by  those  who  knew  her  in  the  com

she  was  a  dominating  influence  in  church
