Ross, president of the senior literary class, appeared in the Detroit Journal, Saturday evening. The Choral Union went to Detroit by special train, Saturday afternoon, and in the evening gave "The Damnation of Faust" to a crowded house for the benefit of the Woman's Annex. The closing concert of the Choral Union, "The Damnation of Faust," at University Hall, Friday evening, was a big success. The hall was crowded and the chorus did better than at any previous concert. The remaining officers of the S. L. A. were elected Saturday, as follows: Recording secretary, U. F. Bickley, '93 law; vice-president. C. L. Thomas, '93 lit; corresponding secretary, C. W.

The 'Varsity team left the grounds at the end of the sixth nning claiming that the Brown umDirewas notgiving them a fair show. The game Saturday with the Toronto team promises to be close, and a good game. In the game with Cornell, Tuesday, Toronto played great ball, holding Cornell down to four runs, while the Canadian team knocked out three scores. This is the last scheduled game at the U. of M. and all who desire to see the team play again this year, will have to go to Saturday's game.

They then started in to elect his successor and after a prolonged struggle in which many harsh things were aid, H. H. Parsons, a strong anti-B'urke man, was elected president. FIELD DAY.

An arrangement has been made hy the '92 Castalian board, whereb) all the Castaliaps issued this year will pass over into the hands of the newly elected board of the class 01 '93. Consequently there will be no reduction in the price. The reason for this action is, that the sale of the Castalians this year has been very materially injured by the reduction in price of the '91 Castalian, and ii the present board should continue this practice, the incoming board would suffer asimilar loss. Moreover it is believed that class discrimination should be entirely blotted out in the case of college annuals and that each board should do all it can to put the succeeding board upon a sure basis. It must be borne in mind that the Castalian costs $1.10 per copy and 75c. means a loss of 35c. per copy, the deficiency being made up by advertising. If a further reduction is made it becomes well nigh impossible to make the publication a financial success. We ask those who intend to purchase a Castalian to do so at once, as it will cost no more now than at some future time, and this will enable the present board to close up their business more readily.
