Athletic  Notes. 

"  In  olden  times  we took  a  cat 
Drawn  by  a  horse  if going  far, 
And  felt  that  we were  blest; 
Now  the  conductor  takes  the  fare 
And  sticks  a  broomstick  in  the  air 
Aud  lightning  does  the  rest. 

"  In  other  days  along  the  street, 

A glimmering  lantern  led  the  feet 

When  on  a  midnight  stroll; 

But  now  we  catch,  when  night  is  nigh, 
A piece  of  lightning  from  the  sky, 

And  stick  it on  a  pole. 

"  Time  was  when  one  must  hold  his  ear 
Close  to  a whispering  voice  to  hear, 
Like  deaf  men—nigh  and  nigher; 
But  now  from  town  to town  he  talks 
And  puts  his nose  into a  box 

And  whispers  through  a  wire."

A  special  meeting  of  the  class  of

to  wrestle  with  the  turkey.  Mr.  C. 
B.  Smith,  '94,  was  then  elected  as  a 
member  pro  tern.  Under  the  head 
of  mutual  criticisms  the  class  of  '95 
was  spoken  of  and  lauded  in  choice 
superlatives  by  all  except  Mr.  Smith,

A  Good  Substitute. 

Last  Wednesday  morning,  our 
Puerto  Rican  student,  Mr.  Louis 
Quevedo,  left  the  college  for  good. 
He  expects 
in  Baltimore 
to  stay 
with  his  uncle  until  next  September, 
and  then  go  to  A nn  Arbor  to  study 
medicine.  T he  _college  people  will 
remember  him  with  pleasure. 

However,  the  night  before  his  de 
parture  he  was  replaced  by  a  Cuban 
student,  Mr.  A n t o n io  Aquilar 
Borrero.  He 
is  native  of  Puerto 
Principe  de  Cuba, but  comes  directly 
from  N ew  Y o r k,  where  he  spent 
five  weeks  with  his  friends.  He 
was  a  locomotive  engineer  previous 
to  the  war,  and  was  a  captain 
in 
the  Cuban  army.  He  came  here 
through  the  Cuban-American  Edu 
cational  Association.  He  intends  to 
become  a  mechanical  engineer.  His 
knowledge  of  English  is very  slight; 
however,  taking  into  consideration 
the  short  time  he  has  been  in  the 
United  States  he  is  doing  very  well. 
He  seems  to  be  good-natured  and 
warm-hearted.  God  speed  to  both 
of  these  young  men.

Labor  Saving  Machinery  Has  Been 
Beneficial  to  the  Laboring 
People. 

ABSTRACT  OF  AN  ORATION  BY C  H.  SPRING, 
'OO. 

This  is  an  age  of  progression,  in 
other  words,  an  age  of  evolution. 
Science  is  advancing  step  by  step 
and  sweeping  away  inferiority  from 
among  the  laboring  classes,  and  this 
movement  is  claiming  extraordinary 
attention  on  the  part  of  the  Amer 
ican  people  at 
time. 
Science  is  making  the  laboring  man 
of 
today  an  educated  man  when 
compared  with  the  man  of  the  last 
generation. 

the  present 

F r om  a  business  standpoint,  all 
the  benefits  to  be  derived  from  labor 
saving  machinery  may  be  combined 
into  one 
statement,—vastly  more 
work  can  be  done  in  the  same  num 
ber  of  hours,  with  the  use  of  ma 
than  would  be  possible 
chinery, 
without  it.  A ny  inventor,  who  can 
shot ten  the  time  it  takes  to  do  a  cer 
tain  amount  of  work,  is  heralded  as 
a  benefactor  to  his  country.  Every 
invention  creates  a  new  field 
great 
of  employment.  This  is  a  principle 
which  the  laboring  people  in  days 
gone  by  were  slow  to  grasp,  and  it 
is  hard  even  now  for  some  of  us  to 
it  when  we  see  hundreds 
accept

There  are  trusts  in  existence  which 
are  detrimental  to  the  welfare  of  the 
country,  but

almost  a  necessity.  T h ey  are  con

wages  are  conditions  which  go  hand 
in  hand. 

This  is  an  age  of  rapid  changes 
and  sudden  developments.  As  stated 
before,  we  have  today  a  multitude 
of  callings  which  are  comparatively 
new,  so  that  while  population  is  in 
creasing  new  kinds  of  employment 
are  increasing  proportionally,  and  in 
this  way  the  American  people  are 
advancing  educationally  and 
finan 
cially  faster  than  any  other  nation  in 
the  world.
