This year more than ever many of these young people will be on the Campus, for the idea is growing stronger every year that the Old School which sent father or mother into the world with a good educa tional start will do the same thing by the son or daughter. There's a lot of wholesome sentiment in this growing practice. It helps to keep alive many fine memories and provides a strong bond between alumni and the College. Alumni cannot do a better thing for Michigan State than to send their splendid young people to its campus for their education. But this practice is justified by more than sentiment—it is justified by the fact that with the passing of the years Michigan State has developed in every way and offers the very choicest opportunities to its students. Ask the alumnus who's tried it!

Further, it is possible and without m u ch effort, to rationalize almost any sport into the successful class—a frequent a nd odious process to those who really like to study the cold record. Then, too, there are those who consider a victory over Michi gan as a requisite for a banner year, others who demand a t r i u m ph over the University of Detroit or Notre Dame, some who look at the percentages to judge, a nd a few, of course, who would rabidly mark anything the S p a r t a ns did as per fect through a fine spirit of collegiate loyalty to their alma mater.

A youthful longing for adventure a nd partici pation the North American continent brought him before the great Champlain in 1618. in exploring carrier Samuel Champlain, the founder a nd governor of New- France under the Hundred Associates, was not slow in recog nizing the excellent mental traits a nd physical qualities pos sessed by this Norman youth. In accordance to his system of training promising French youths for t he service of t he company, Champlain sent Nicolet to dwell for six years with a friendly tribe of Algonquin Indians residing on Allumette island in the Ottawa river. In 1624 he was transferred up the river to live with a tribe in the region of Lake Nipissing. Nicolet remained there for eight years, during which period he learned the language, manners, and habits of tr.e redskins. The Huron Indians, who dwelt along the shores of Georgian Bay, were the nearest neighbors of the Nipissing tribe. They were semi-nomadic and their contacts with the tribes to the west w7ere many and frequent. Indirectly Nicolet learned of a warlike tribe to the far west—in what is new the Fox river valley of Wisconsin. Champlain, likewise, in 1629, h ad heard of reputed for their prowess and ferocity.
