OTMNASIÜM FOND. N, Prof. Alfred Hennequïn, well known as & warm supporter of the Athletic interest of the students, has agaüi shown a practical proof of his zeal by going into Detroit Mondiiy night to interview the aluumi U get t hem to start a mibscription of $0,000 for a gj'tnnasiuui. The Association has s f, nou aud with the proposed aiuuuot a fine, well-cqtiipped ryiiiiiaMuui cuuld be built. At the taeetiuif of the Association, May 18th, Prof. Ilennequin aud Mr. A. T. Packard were ippointed a committee to visie the alumni in Detroit, for the purpose above ineotioned. They went aUo by the authorlty of the trustees of the fuud - Pres. Angrell, i'rofs. Cooley aud Demmon, nul Messrs. Palmer and Baldwiu of Detroit. Senator Paluier was the first uluiinius seen, and he at once geiierotisly promised $500, proviiled live otUer names were secured for a like amouiit. Regent Joy, C. H. Buhl, H. P. Baldwin, and Allen Shelden were seen, and each one promised $250. W. A. Moore, James MtMillan, D. M. Dickinson and B. A. AJger all promised to do their share. Thus after getting 2,00() sbscril)ed or promised, the committee, upon the recoininendation of Regent Joy, decideil to appeal to the alumni and other frieiids of the University to come to the rescue and subscribe the five other five hundreds to go with Senator Palmer's liberal ofler. Thatsum would be $3,000. That subscribed.by Joy, Baldwin, Sheldeu and Buhl is $1,000, and from the otliers in Detroit $1,000 more is guaranteed, thus leavinga thousand to be contributed In the smaller amounts. This sum easily can be raised if, say lifty of the professors wouJd contribute 10.00 apiece, and then the remainder -would not be long coming from citizens, alumni and f rienda. The committee met with much encourageinent from the eople of Detroit, and are confident the $0.000 needed can be raised. ilcre is a chauce for any one who believes in supplying to the college boys the nieaus of keeping a sound body along with the means for getting a sound miud. Such an. one ghould put a practical applicution to his belief and be one of those to stand by Senator Palmer with his $500. We are iiitornied that Governor Felcli has kindly coiisented to couiply witti tlie request of bis frieiids to give a talk ou his personal reminiscences of Webster and Oalhoun. The Law lectare room ha been placed at the disposal of tbe cominittee inviting Gavernor Felcb ta perform tliis ecrvice, und the time will be mentioned in our next issue.
