An Ethical Solution of the Labor Problem.
H. B. CANNON, UNION LITERARY SOCIETY.

The labor question is older than civilization. It has
existed since primeval men first disputed over the pro-
ducts of their chase. The sentiment, | want my share,
then heard, has ever since been ringing in men’s ears.
To-day this cry is uttered with renewed vigor; for,
now, steam drives a myriad of labor-saving machines,
and, consequently, there is a large product for division.

To-day free America beholds arrayed the mighty
forces of labor and of capital, each under organizations
so powerful, unscrupulous and irresponsible as to merit
the name of despotisms, Whence have these despot-
isms arisen to claim the products of earth? The answer
is in the nature of man. Why has man for gold cheated
man; why cast him in prison; why immured him in
noisome dungeons; why tortured him; why enslaved
him; why murdered him? What misery has not gold
brought into the world? Yet we do not arraign it with
all of this terrible wickedness; mau is himself responsi-
ble. The love of gain under proper subordination is a
beneficent agent of wondrous power; when it exists as
the ruling passion, like a very demon it blights benevo-
lence, dwarfs and shrivels the affections, and strangles
the conscience.

Combination has been the watchword of the century.
Capitalists unite to form corporations; laborers unite to
form trades-unions. Their organizations differ solely
in their purposes. While the one projects and operates
commercial enterprises, the other seeks to protect the
rights of the laborer and to promote his social well-
being. The labor unions have made a mistake in neg-
lecting to strive for the intellectual and moral improve-
ment of the laborer while seeking to better his financial
state. While this field remains untilled, we may expect
the rank growth of anarchism, communism and social-
ism to flourish until there be danger that the sense of
right itself be choked in a jungle of envy.

There is need of wisely and honestly managed corpo-
rations. A nation’s resources are best developed when
men join hands. The corporation arises to meet great
demands, It prints papers, sinks mines, builds ships,
carries a nation’s produce, runs a nation’s mantufacto-
ries. No commercial task appears too hazardous to
undertake, no obstacle of nature too great to overcome.
It runs the telegraph line’ over the desert; it lays the
cable along the floor of the sea; it pushes the iron rail
over desert, river and mountain range.

little more.
there comes the ery that capital oppresses labor, In

| to threaten, to cajole, to bribe.

In unscrupulous hands the corporation becomes a
menace to public safety. Like the true despot, it is
willing to pollute public morals rather than be defeated
in itsschemes. ‘The disclosures made at Jacob Sharpe's
trial show that capital in the hands of knaves may do
great evil, The bribery of officials and law-makers is
not, unfortunately, confined to New York City. From
congress itself has come denunciation of the power-
ful lobbies which infest it. Does capital want a bill
repealed, a right of way, or a land grant, it stands ready
Charles II could do

From mine and workshop and factory

those places there are many who, in the abjectness of
their poverty, are thrown upon the mercy of capital,
There is no fact more evident than that a man with ten
dollars is better able to get an offer of fair wages than
the man who has but ten cents. It 15 easy to kick a
man when he is down, but it is as infamous as it is easy.
The unscrupulous capitalist puts such bounds upon his
rapacity as he finds convenient, for he knows that one
short lock-out will starve his employés to his terms,
The pay he gives often does not support the workman
and his family, In Chicago girls have been found
wheeling bricks under the boiling July sun to earn the
bread their fathers’ wages would not buy.

Te it well that while we range with Selence glorying in the time
City children soak and blacken soul and sense in city slime?
There among the gloaming alleys Progress halts on palsied feet;
Crime and hunger cast our maidens by the thousand on the

street.”
Lord Tennyson when he wrote these lines knew well

that a portion of the responsibility for their condition is
to be charged to the capitalists; for, in London, a
woman may by sewing earn one shilling in a day—but
this day means seventeen hours of unremitting labor.

When the tower of London was shattered by dyna-
mite we did not blame the explosive, but the villainous
hand that placed it there. Whenever we find wrong
resulting from the corporation we should not in haste
denounce the institution as evil, but we should seek in
the character of its management the motives for evil
deeds. The Greeks held no natural object to be wholly
devoid of consciousness; therefore, whenever some fool-
ish beast was killed by stumbling over a stone, they
carried the offending object to the border of the land
and with solemn adjuration cast it beyond, Some men
with as little reason think we should do away with the
corporation.

The despotism of capital compelled the working
classes to organize. At first trades-unions were formed ;

z THE

these within a few years have united to form the
Knights of Labor, Under this organization the war
has been pushed with vigor, Since 1880 four thousand
five hundred strikes have been declared and over two
thousand lock-outs sustained.

When a secret committee has the power to order a
strike, which, in its devastating course may cause to
strikers and employers a loss of millions of dollars and
create wide-spread suffering, we naturally inquire tf,
indeed, this is not as truly an act of tyranny as if pro-
mulgated by a star chamber. There is always a peculiar
danger that the Knights of Labor will be controlled by
ioud-mouthed demagogues. A Martin Irons, when
clothed with “a little brief authority,” may do irrepara-
ble damage. Whenever reasonable demands have been
pressed ina reasonable manner, the Knights of Labor
have received the sanction of public sentiment; unreas-
onable demands have been met by public condemnation,

The result at present reached in this war between
despotisms 18, in some respects, not encouraging. By
this battling fair and free competition is swept away.
Capital has learned the trick of double combination;
corporations and firms unite among themselves to form
pools, syndicates and trusts. These force prices up,
thus increasing the price of living; and keep production
down, which diminishes the demand for labor. These
combines crush with ruthless tyranny their small com-
petitors, and buy out their large ones, The formation
of cotton, coal, sugar, and oil trusts means the extortion
of an infamous tax from every consumer. A. private

monopoly is a public robber. The Napoleon of to-day

organizes monopolies rather than armies; he requires
the sweat of millions rather than their blood, The
desire to have our own is commendable, but the desire

to have that which we have not earned—to steal, in

facts, shall we cali that commendable? What shall we
call it when it prompts men to oppress their laborers, to
scrimp their wages, to give them crowded rooms in
which to labor, and pestilential warrens in which to
sleep—to starve their bodies—to pollute their morals—
to damn their very souls? Such a spirit is too clark, too
devilish, for adequate denunciation, Times were when
the despot wishing to become rich, despoiled the rich,
but now, chivalry of cowardice, he grinds the faces of
the poor,

Thank God! men are beginning to find that the
unscrupulous capitalist is a tyrant, and they are begin-
ning to treat him as his deeds merit. The strong arm
of the law, backed by the sturdy brain of public opin-
ion, Will force him to chain the devil in his heart and da
the deeds of mercy. Society demands that the poison-
bearing arms of the octopus monopoly be disengaged
from the industries which they paralyze, and that the
uncouth monster be henceforth consigned to the all-
devouring sea which gave it birth,

The fond dream of the laboring classes that by organ-
ization they could obtain a greatly increased share of the
fruits of their labor has been dispelled, They find no

strike yet made against a falling market has been suc-
cessful; for the laws of trace are as fixecl as the laws of
nature. ‘They find wages rise in the long run, whether
there he strikes or not, yet they do not regret having
made strikes. Capital has a more wholesome respect
for the strength of labor, a respect which tends to
restrain abuses,

“Through the ages an increasing purpose runs,
And the thoughts of men are widened with the process of the

sajna."

The capitalist and the laborer alike are slawly coming
to take a broader view of the situation, while the one
begins to see the extent of the injustice wrought by his
selfish greed, the other sees the injustice produced by
his unreasonable demands. Each is beginning to learn
that the other is a man, without whom he could not
long exist, arul to recognize in him a business partner,
not an enemy who fights for spoil,

Any solution of the labor question must, in the nature
of things, aim to produce union between the discordant

product.

What will bring this about? What weight should
we give to the schemes proposed by Henry George and
by socialists, communists and anarchists? Do these have
love of man and respect for the honest accumulations of
capital as their underlying motive? Instead of teaching
“love is the fulfilling of the law," they maintain “envy
is the new virtue which is te regenerate the world.”
They advocate instead of genuine self-interest, the rank-
est selfishness; instead of Christian love, heathen hate.

The solution of the labor question, then, lies in a
whole-souled acceptance by capitalists of a moral trus-
teeship. Happy the necessity, beneficent the tyranny
that will thus rule trade and wealth to their own if lia

F. M. SEIRERT, DELTA TAU DELTA FRATERNITY,
As electric lighting has made sueh rapid progress
within the last few years, a new industry —the manufac-
ture of carbon pencils or carbons as they are usually
termed—has recently sprung up, and is carried on by
comparatively few companies.

Carbons are manufactured from the best quality of
coke, obtained from the residue left in the distillation of
THE COLLEGE SPECULUM.

petroleum. The coke is first ground and heated to a

high temperature in large retorts to drive out all
gases. When this has been accomplished, it is cooled
and sifted, This powdered coke is then taken to the
mixing room, where itis placed in large pans over a
fire, and a certain amount of pitch and various chemi-
cals are added, After being thoroughly mixed by con-
stant stirring, the mass is removed in a semi-plastic
condition and gradually cooled. Next it is taken to the
pulverizing machine where it is again pulverized. The
powder is then elevated over to another machine,
where it is ground to the finest possible state of divis-
ion. This part of the process is very important, as
there must not be a single lump in the whole mass, The
powder or carbon flour as it is termed, after being
allowed to settle, is placed in iron molds which have
been heated to about zo0°F, The molds consist of two
Hat rectangular pieces of iron, grooved on one side,
which, when shut together, give the cylindrical form to
the pencils. The molds are placed in a hydraulic press,
and a pressure equal to 5,000 pounds to the square inch
applied. When the carbons are removed from the
molds, they are in sheets, as the partings between the
grooves do not shut together titht enough to separate
the pencils. These sheets, which when taken out of
the molds, are plastic like putty, are now packed in
furnaces, layer upon layer, with a thin stratum of clean,
white sand between each layer.

The furnaces are then closed and a gentle heat ap-
plied, which is gradually increased to a higher tempera-
ture, and the pencils are baked from five to fourteen
days. A furnace has a capacity of about go,ooo car-
bons, Great care and constant watching is required to
keep the heat steady, and not overdo the bake. When
thoroughly baked, the furnaces are allowed to cool
gradually, and the carbons are removed to the parting
room. Here the pencils are separated from each other,
and the ridges on the sides formed by the parting of
the molds are scraped off. This step and the next one,
that of pomting the tips, are done by hand, This practi-
cally completes the process, and there remains only
the testing. After every bake, a few carbons from each
furnace are selected! and taken to a room in which there
are a number of electric lamps in connection with a dy-
namo. The carbons are placed in these, and the current
turned on. If the light is satisfactory, a portion of the
batch is taken to the plating room, and there electro-
plated with copper. They are then dried, and the
whole lot is packed in boxes and is ready for shipment.
The plated pencils have the most “life” but the demand
for those not plated is much the larger, as they are
cheaper.

The Middle of the Pacific,

BY F. KR. OSBORN,

We are two young men traveling for pleasure and
information during our summer vacation. We have
seen the marvellous canyons, precipices and giant
mountains of the Rockies, the great sage-brush plains,
immense stretches of lava rock and beautiful undulating
prairies of Idaho, Washington and Oregon. We have
steamed down the picturesque Columbia, noting its
Dalles, where the mighty river literally turns on its
side, in cutting its way through the mountains; its cas-
cades where the mad waters rush pell-mell over and
among huge boulders in a boiling, seething mass; its
precipitous shores extending to dizzy heights, over
which numerous waterfalls come tumbling into the
river, hundreds of feet below. We have seen Adams,
Hood and Ranier, grim and hoary-headed sentinels of
the mountain solitudes. We have just passed up the
beautiful valley of Willamette with its cosy villages and
well-kept farms; over the rugged Umpqua and Siskiyou
ranges with their gold mines and magnificent scenery ;
by the very foot of grand old Mount Shasta and on
through the great Sacramento Valley to San Francisco.

And now where next? Maring proposes a trip to
the Sandwich Islands, discourses on the health-giving
properties of the ocean breezes, the tropical sights on
the islands, the queer natives and great volcanoes. We
can return in time for our August work and I agree.

The great iron steamship swings out into the bay,
soon passes through the Golden Gate and stands out to
sea. We have 75 passengers on board besides 160
Chinese in the hold. The great ship rides the waves
so steadily that we are not troubled with sea-sickness.
Cards, music, books and conversation serve to pass the
time delightfully. A watchman is kept constantly
among the Chinese lest through negligence they fire
the ship. We hear of opium smoking below and go
down to witness it, A Chinaman is reclining on some:
mats with a huge pipe in his hands. Its stem is two
inches in diameter and three feet long, with a large hole
through its entire length. A few inches from the lower
end is the bow] made of some hard material, fully three
inches across the top, solid, except a little hole some
three-sixteenths of an inch in diameter running down
into the huge stem. With a wire the operator brings
some opium from a vial, cooks it in a nut-oil flame and
then with great perseverance rolls iton top of the bowl,
Pressing the mass into the small aperture, the wire, when
withdrawn, leaves a small opening through the pipe.
Placing a finger over the lower end of the stem the
operator draws the death-dealing fumes into his mouth,
Securing a severe headache from the sickening atmos-
phere we are glad to leave the heathen and his opium
dreams and go to bed.

SCIENTIFIC.

It is not until recently that the subiects of vegetable
anatomy and physiology have attracted the attention of
the general student. The need for a fuller and wider
knowledge in these directions is seen almost daily.
What agricultural or horticultural journal can be read
without finding, somewhere, one or more attempts to
explain away some problem in vegetable life by means
of physiological principles—so called, How absurd these
explanations often are, can only be shown after one has
spent many hours with the microscope and proper
reagents, and frequently with the assistance of some good
ruicle,

What physician or veterinarian would venture to prac-
tice his profession without a thorough knowledge of
animal anatomy and physiology? As a matter of fact
coull he be called a physician or veterinarian without
such a knowledge? Yet how is it with nine-tenths of
our so-called scientific agricuiturists or horticulturists?
What do they know about subjects equally important to
their profession? That they have been nominally suc-
cessful without such knowledge, ir erues nothing.

There is a growing demand for such knowledge
among enterprising students, and it is with the idea of
furnishing means for study in this direction, that the bo-
tanical department is fully equipping rooms for special
work in plant anatomy, physiology and experiment.
The nucleus will be grounded with the following ap-
paratus: Two microscopes, with a full line of accessories,
including polariscopes, microtomes, condensers, cam-
baths, ete., ete. Also, apparatus for
measuring plant growth, temperature, ete.

Quite a large supply of chemicals and physical goods
will be had, so that apparatus ample for various experi-
ments can be readily contrived,

Such an equipment will fill a long-felt want here,
and will afford many students an opportunity to follow,
with much satisfaction, a course of investigation in the

eras, reapen ts,

Notes on the Oat.

——

The native country of the oat is unknown; but the
best authors place it as a probable native of Central
Asia. The oat is mentioned in the Old Testament, and
is also mentioned in Greek history as Bromos. In old
Roman history, the oat is mentioned as far back as 1740.
No doubt the wild oat has existed in different parts of
the world for many ages; but where civilization first
developed, the oat was first cultivated.

As civilization came westward, the oat was cultivated
westward, until in Russia, Germany, Denmark, Scot-
land and England it hag reached a very great degree of
perfection.

Authors differ as to the particular species from which
our oat has originated. It is probable that several wild
species have been improved by cultivation, and thus our

varieties may differ as to their exact parent. In our
own country it is claimed that many of our common
varieties sprang from a wild oat found in California,
Avena Futea, Some of the poorer varieties resemble

this species very strongly. These varieties, when

| growing, present a very grassy appearance, The leaves

are narrow and long, spreading out over the ground
more than the better varieties. The glumes are long
and slender like the leaves, and bear long, dark, twisted
awns. The glumes are also more or less hairy at base,
which is a marked characteristic in the wild species.
"A Kentucky man claims to have grown, by judicious
selection, a very heavy fine oat, from the wild oat, in
seven years.

In England the Avera .Vedosa (Naked or Peel
Corn) was once in general cultivation, It was grown
in Scotland also, and was the only bread corn known
to early Britons. ‘

Avena Strigesa is cultivated in the Orkney Islands,
as a bread corn; also, in Shetland, and in the highlands
of Scotland. It is a bristly, pointed oat, and is a native
of Great Britain,

Another species, 4. Orfenfalis, or Tartarian oat, was
cultivated largely for horses. This species is said to be
the foundation for our dark or black oats.

The potato oat has been raised in Scotland and Eng-
land for a hundred years or more, and is the principal
oat grown at the present time. This shows that by
careful selection of seed, and by furnishing good ground,
we may grow the same variety year after year, without
any deterioration in its value. This oat, grown in Scot-
land, often weighs 50 pounds to the bushel.

In this country many varieties have been tested, but
few are worthy of recommendation. So much depends

/upon the conditions which surround the oat plant, that
very few absolute rules can be laid down, in regard

to the adaptability of any special variety. A variety
grown with success in one locality may prove a failure
in another.

H. T. Frenxcu.

One of Dr. Beal's recent lectures was on the Flora of
Lansing and vicinity. This is a subject on which the
Doctor, in connection with Prof. Bailey, has been work-
ing for some time. They intend, shortly, to issue a cat-
alogue of plants of this section, similar to Smith &
Wheeler's Flora of Michigan. Our flora contains about
S70 species, as near as may be estimated from present
knowledge. Of these, forty-one are trees, while the
whole number are members of no fewer than ninety-
eight orders, almost a half of the total number of or-
ders in the vegetable world, Thus it is seen, our flora
is very varied. This is mainly accounted for by the
fact that we lie midway between the warm and cool parts
of the temperate zone, We are on the watershed, as
it were, of two quite different floras, and consequently
get the benefit of their blending. If more good work
were done in the direction of local floras, it would be a
step of no little importance in the botanical world.

Ice in Drinking Water.

There is a popular notion that water purifies itself by
freezing, overlooking the fact that nothing is to prevent
impurities from remaining entangled within the ice.
While it is true that organic matter, or rather impurities,
have no agency in the action of freezing, it is also true
that if they existed in the water before, there is nothing
in the process of freezing that will expel them, and they
will remain in the same relative position in the ice that
they before occupied in the water.

It is also maintained by the best of authority, that

freezing organic impurities does not necessarily destroy

their power to injure the health, when taken into the
system, Prof, Nichols quotes as follows: “ Dangerous
organic impurities are retained in ice unchanged. * * *
and the germs of infectious diseases remain unaffected.”
He also says that a pond or river not fit for a water
supply, 16 not fit for an ice supply.

Dr. Ranney of Lansing says,“ If germs of specific
diseases do exist in water, freezing docs not destroy
them, for epidemics of disease have been supposed to
result from the use of impure ice;” and, at a sanitary con-
vention at East Saginaw in 1885, Dr. Kedzie expressed!
the opinion that freezing of impure water could not
purify it.

It is a common practice in nearly all places, both pub-

lic and private, to cool drinking water by putting ice |
If the opinion of these scientists be cor-

into the water.

rect, the danger is evident, and the remedy plain and |

easy, viz.t Don't do it, Never put ice into water to cool
it, but pack the ice around the metal or earthen vessel
containing the water, There are no aclvantages in the
common practice, and there are many in favor of the
latter method. Water so cooled cannot be ecoutami-
nated by impurities of the ice, and is cool enough for
the good of the system. Last and least, the ice will last
much longer than if put into the water, for water
at and below go° warms very rapidly upon con-
tact with air, as the cooler parts will rise fo fhe fop,
This plan can with little trouble be employed in the
field as well as elsewhere, A tin can answers well
to hold the water, and a leaky wooden or paper pail,
or even a common grain bag does nicely to hold the ice.

flourished here?

net revive the lecture assecintion that once

As conducted during the Last year or
two of its existence it was not a brilliant SLICCESS,. either
in a financial way GT at furnishing intellectual treats
for its patrons, Lecturers of the Delva Lockwood and
Eli Whitney type lich suet satisfy the tastes of a majority
of the students, and the frequent calls for funds to meet
the shortarves resulting from the small houses that
greeted high priced lecturers, Teel ter ats besinage abandoned,

Since it ceased to exist, the W. AL. CG. AA. has furn-
ished one or two really good lectures at nadlerte prices,
but since the winter vacation none have been given.

That good lecturers will draw full houses here was
shown by the large attendance when Dr, Wallace apoke,
last summer. ‘That was an exceptional case, of course,
for he had been secured by efforts of a large number of
both students and faculty, and was well known, by rep-
utation, to the students. The success of that effort
shows what might be done in this line if the attempt
were properly made.

“An association composed of the literary societies and
Natural History society would give backing enough to
make the scheme successful, Goold lecturers on scientific
and literary subjects can be secured at rates that could
be met by a very moderate charge at the door, We
know of no effort that would result in so much real
benefit to the students as this, if ttean be brought about.

SPECULUM, 7

Field Day.

In accordance with the programme in the May
SPECULUM, the first annual field day of the Michigan
Tnter-Collegiate Athletic Association was held
May 31, and June i aud 2,

Por several days previous to the first date mentioned,
preparations for the sports and for the entertainment of
visitors were actively carried on by those in charge,
Lawns were raked, borders trimmed, drives put in or-
der for running races, and when Thursday morning
came, the college campus appeared at its best, in almost
every particular, The fifty tents secured from Quarter.
master General Hart for the occasion, gave an air of

here

novelty to the scene, scattered as they were in pictu-
resque groups under the trees and among the college
butldingrs,

The weather alone was unpropitious, and the rain of
the night before, followed by the clouds and mist of
the morning, caused many to fear that the published
program could not be carried out.

College work was continued, as usual, during the

forenoon, by all except the members of the reception

committee who were to look after the visitors expected
during the forenoon.

Olivet was the first to arrive, bringing a delegation of
forty students, afterwards increased to fifty or mere,
These came on the Grand Trunk morning train from
the west and after being assigned to rooms, visited

classes and otherwise amused themselves during the fore- |

noon. At g A.M. over the Michigan Central, came
the boys from Albion, numbering some sixty students,
all told. They reached the college erounds in time to

practice for some of the contests before dinner, and eave

evidence of thorough preparation for almost every con- |

test entered by them. Hillsdale, with fifty students, was
delayed till after z mr. ou. by aslow aul tiresome ride on
al aiccommexlition train on the L.S. & M.S., sa the
hall game between Hillsdale and Albion which had
been set for 2 o'clock, was necessarily postponed till the
tenuis doubles between Olivet and Albion were played.
In this contest Messrs, Carter and Fiekl of Olivet, were

entered against Messrs, Warren and Leonard of Albion, |

and won by a score of 6 ta 4.

In the tennis singles, Dearing of Albion won over |

Cordley of M.A, C, Score, 6 to 2.

Shortly after 3:30 Pp. ar. the ball game between Hills-
dale and Olivet was called, and for a time, held the at-
tention of the crowd, It soon developed into a walk-a-
way for Olivet, the score standing 20 ta 4.

When the first heat of the hundred yards dash was
iinounced, excitement ran high, for it was expected
that the rivalry known to exist between Van Fleet of
Hillsdale, and Gale of Albion, would develop a phenom-
inal burst of speed on the part of each. Several other
entries were made, including Smith and Burnett of M.
A.C., Ferry of Olivet, and Ward of Hillsdale. Feel-
ing among most of the students was strongly in favor of

Van Fleet, for however much students admire athletic
skill in these contests, they do not favor the intrusion of
semi-professionals who may gain entrance by a merely
nominal fulfilling of the requirements. Before the first
quarter had been run it was evident that Van Fleet
would net be the winner, and at the finish Ward led
Gale by fifteen feet, winning the heat in 1o7g seconds.

The 50 yard backward run had five entries, and was
also won by Ward in Sig seconds, with Gale second.

Supper was provided in the various clubs for all the
visiting students, and at 7 Pp. Mt. the tennis doubles, Car-
ter and Field of Olivet os, Cordley and Stanley of M.
A.C, were played. This was one of the sharpest con-
tests of the fielll day, and when time was called because
of darkness the score stood 5 to 5. When finished, the
next day, it was won by Olivet, score g to 7.

After the close of the tennis coutest the crowd dis-
persed, and the various society rooms were thrown open
for informal receptions, enlivened by music and conver-
sation ti a late hour, and the first day of the contest
was ended,

Fripay, JUNE 1,

made necessary the giving up of all further out-door
contests for a time.

In the armory the Indian club swinging resulted in |

the award of first place to Barringer of Hillsdale,
and second place to Griffin of Albion.

To dispose of some of the exercises announced for
Saturday, some of the boxing was then called for, and
the match between Olivet and Hillsdale feather weights
resulted in a victory for Chaddock of the former college,
over Chaffee of the latter, Messrs. Gregger, Burnett
and Carnahan gave an exhibition of horizontal and
parallel bar practice, and the sky having cleared, the
tennis singles were called.

Carter of Olivet won from Hall, M. A. C., by 5to 1,
and then from Dearing of Albion, 6 to o, thus carning
the gold medal for tennis singles.

At 6:30 the exhibition drill and dress parade by |
Companies A and B, College Cadets, with Captains |

Estabrook and Smith in command, took place, and added
much to the pleasure of the visitors present,
as darkness came the reception announced to be held in

President Barringer of the Athletic Association intro-
duced President Willits, who welcomed the visiting stu-
dents in a short address and called up Prof. Gould, Oli-
vet, to speak upon the athlete as a student. Prof. Gould
wittily evaded this subject, which is unfortunately an
unpopular one with many college professors, but enter-
tained his hearers for a few moments by explaining the

reason for his presence here, and paved the way for |

dents should follow while in college, that they may be
able to meet the demands of society when their college

The speaker stated as his idea of such demands—fit.

After the speaking, refreshments were served hy the

needed rest for Saturday's sports,

SATURDAY, JUNE 2,

The day's work opened with the bicycle race, won by
Williams of Fillsdale. In side-hold, light-weight wrest-
ling Williams of Hillsdale threw Rogers of M. A. C,,
twice out of three times, while in catch-as-catch-can
for light-weights, Williams withdrew after being thrown
once by Woodworth, of M. A. C.

As there was but one Japanese wrestler present, Cle-
land of M. A. C. was entered against Murata, M. A,
C. The contest was a catch-as-catch-can and after a

struggle of fifteen minutes was declared a draw, neither

Hooper of M. A. C., took the collar-and-elbow heavy
weight, without contest, and also the catch-as-catch-can
of the same class.

Barringer of Hillsdale took side-hold, heavy in the

| same way.

While Albion and M. A. C. prepared for fAe event
of the field day, the struggle for the college base ball
championship, the three legged race was run, Critchett

and before its close most of the visiting students had
left for home. A few remained till Monday morning.

and the foot-ball championship, which will be held over
till next year by the directors.

K. D, Keyes, of Olivet, the umpire in all the base
ball games, gave universal satisfaction. Thos, Fish, of
Fort Huron, acted as referee in other sports.

The Portland Band of 12 pieces was on the grounds
during the three days, and entertained the crowd during
the intervals between the contests.

The crowd on the grounds during Friday and Satur-
day was estimated at from 1,500 to 2,000, many people
being prevented from attending by the coolness of the
weather and the threatened rain. Honors were very
evenly divided between the colleges, and the best of
feeling prevailed among students. Taking all its fea-
tures into consideration the Field Day of 1888 was a
grand success.

_ The Navier for May is up to their usual high standard, and is no-

which is very interesting and would be more so if spoken, for which
Purpose we surmise it was written.

The Michigan Argonan/ for some weeks past has been publish-

interesting and well written narrative.

From The Avrora (lowa Agricultural College), we learn that the
