Reed, of U. of M., Talks on "Intellect ual Hoboistn" to Ohio Teachers. Toledo, November 13.—Sons and daughters of the rich w ho attend high schools and colleges for the sole purpose of having a good time, and fraternities and student clubs, were held up to stringent criticisms Saturday morning by J o hn O. Reed, dean of the department of literature, science and the arts, of- the Univer sity of Michigan, in his address on "Intellectual Hoboistn," delivered before the Central Ohio T e a c h e r s' Association, in session at Memorial Hall. T he intellectual hoboes and loaf ers, Dr. Reed said, came generally from families in good circumstances, and were just as much undesirable students as the professional hobo is an undesirable citizen. These child ren- of the rich, he said, attended college and spent money in having than spending a good time in study, t oncerning fraterni ties, be said : time rather form " T he fraternities and the fratern food ity houses in particular for dissolute and disorderly hangers- on, and in a large measure exert an to the influence directly counter educational and scholarly atmos phere of the institution to which they attach themselves." in western Owing to the increase in wealth and luxurious habits in the middle west, the speaker said, the problem of the student with too much money. is rapidly assuming serious propor tions schools, and is making the problem of the east the problem of the west. intellectual t he speaker continued, was at the bot tom of every surprising outbreak of disorder.

C. won undisputed title to the state college championship Sat urday afternoon by defeating the Olivet eleven by a score of 20 to o, in a spectacular game full of forward passes, trick formations and triple passes. At no time in the game did the preachers threaten to score, al they played better ball in though the second half and held Coach Brewer's stars to only one touch down. Captain M c K e n na w as un able to participate in the last local game for M. A. C. and w as re placed by Hill, w ho played a star game and tried for four field goals, one from the 50-yard line coming close. A triple pass, Moore to Hill, to Cortright, w ho made a long for ward pass to Barnett w as frequent ly worked for great gains, Barnett making one touchdown on this play. T he preachers were out classed in nearly every department, never making any consistent gains through the heavy M. A. C. line. W e b b er did some brilliant punting, frequently however, and his toe carried the ball back from Olivet's 15-yard line. Olivet played a plucky game throughout, but their fast back field formations were broken up by the heavy linesmen of the victorious team. T he preachers some side line passes and fake formations, but these were easily solved. tried Price and Captain Nachtesheim played a great game for Olivet, these t wo men exhibiting brilliant football skill throughout. Cortright played a heady game for the winners and pulled off many a forward pass to Barnett or Patti- that netted 40 or ^o yards. son Exelbv featured in line plunging, seldom failing to pull off five or ten yards when called upon. He was injured placed by Titus. towards the end, being re football. Moore, Lemon, A. L. Campbell and Shedd played their last game on the local field Saturday and ex hibited brilliant J. F. Campbell featured by long end runs. T he entire student body turned out in gay colors and gave the great est team Coach Brewer has ever perfected a final ovation.

Henley, subscription to Dear Sir :—I received your notice, and enclose you 50 cents to renew my the R E C O R D. Since I left the college, 40 years ago, about this time of the year, as commencement w as then held in November, I have not been in the state of Michigan but once, and, with t wo exceptions, have not seen or spoken to a single person that was a student or in any way con nected with the college in'my day time that has passed or in the long then. My class, that of '69, since had a reunion a couple of years ago but I could not attend. Of the ten men w ho made up the class, seven were there. One man, Geo. Eaton, was killed by Indians a year or two near Greeley, graduation, after Colorado. One o t h e r, Lyman Mason, died ten or twelve years later. T he other eight have lived for forty years and 1 have never met any of the others, which seems exceptional—that eight men out of t en forty should be alive for years after graduation. As for myself, my life has been yery un eventful, and with no especial inter est for anyone outside of my own family. Yours respectfully, G UY J O H N S O N. '86. W . ' R.
