The number of students n the varlou departmenta of the Unlversity, np to Uil noon as compured wlth lust year is: . , 188S 1887 Llterary department .. . .. 71 et. Medical 812 :ioo ¦;'"' " 338 9 l'lmrmacy ' lm IH Di'iititl io3 t Homeopathie" Tl (i itWO 151 This is 18ö more than last year at thi date, and wlth a resistratlon of four more naines tlie roll wlil t-qual that of the en tira regisiration of last year. The gym. sleeps peaoefllUy so far. Wlll tlie autliorities dure to ask for ai urt tittll ? Tlie University Glee Club has its rank lilled agaln. The Delta Kapp'8 have put in a tele phone No. 131. California is well represented n the v.irious departments. The lit. freshinen have c'.-osen Van [llgwangeo foot ball captain. Hngby is the game thnt win9 the affections ol the boys these days. As cood as a gym. Memben ol Hobart Qulld wlll pay anouai dues hereafter iustead of nssessnicntg. K. .1. Parker, phavmic, '8", married Miss Ida Nejbitt at Iuenemo, Kas., on the lili msi On Tliursday evenlng an informal reoeptlon will be teudered Prof. Htanley at Hobart Hall. Prof. Frieze has very delicate health tli is fíill, but he has a warm place in the hcart of every one. On Oct. 22d, Prof. U. O. Davis, the librarlas, will lecture ou "Tlic Books of the Last 12 Months." The Engineering Society starts off with ful! rank?, and Prof. Cooley as entertaininr and instiuetive as ever. Tlie Kiifftiy Association offleers are: president, Jas. E. Duffy; vic-president, O. K. Button; secretary, %Vill Ball; treasurer, J. D. Armstronj;. Tliere are more pupils in the School of Musip this year than ever before at a correspondió date. Everything booms in the educatlonal line. The Junior and Fresbmen Medies ruslied foot ball on the campus Saturday, luit rain interfered, and they will complete the rough and tumble Saturday next. Profs. Dorrance and Watlins: are feeling the efl'ects of short nppropriations, and are without assistants tblsyear, mucli to tlieir discomfitiire and the detriment of the stiuleut8. The luw department boys have already commenced correspoudence relutive to lie seeuring of mi orator for Washington's biitbday. They are bound to be on Ime this year. The nttendance this year bids fair to eclipse that at oíd Harvard, and thus ¦tand abead of any in this nation. The effurts made to advertise the city and ts educational advantages anpears to be eaping its harvest dow. Why not conInue the good work ? It pays. Dr. Fiotliingham tells us that t!ie statenent atlributcd to Dr. Macleau in the ast issue that " there wouldu't be 200 students in the medical department this year," is incorrect. Dr. Maclean denies ever Aaving made such a ftateraent, and would be pleased te have 5.C00 students in lic department if they could be Induced o come. The Keneral llbrary dow has (17,750 'olumes, and II!. 802 painphlets. Thertl'here were 5,351 vols. and 1,278 pampheta added durlug the year past. It will onn be the largest llbrary on the coninent save two or three in the east, and vill crill here students f rom the entire country disiring to pursue studies in pi'cial üncs. One of the most important acts of the egents at tlieir recent meeting was the lectlon of Dr. J. N. Martin to the vaiincv caused by tlie death of Dr. Dunster. ?bx U an admirable selection. Dr. ilarin bas an excellent standing in the prossion nnri bat preparad himself for that special ptulUiiu. He tast lase Bummer ii the hospital of Liondon and Paris, tudyini; and ftalnlog knowledgo to as jst him in his duiies. Besides being well litted for the place he is popular tli the students, and works for their ntertsts as well as for the interests of the Jnlverslty. Dr. Angelí, in bis annual report gave Onvincing and di'cisive reaeons why the ii' dical departmeut should not be divide!, and a portin of it removed to )ftroit, and the recenta actlnr thereon ecidcd l)y a unanimous vote (save that t Etrgent Field) not to take any steps ooklng to a remora!, and resolviu that 'it is settled policy of the board that he Univeisity be maintained entiiely at Ann Arbor." Now it is hoped our cili ens will take gome action relative to the .stabiisliment of such hospitals as are ïceded here. The city c:m better afford o ive $25,000 or even $30,000 lor hos)itals thau to have ttie question of renoval eontlnuiilly agitateil, as It will be mless this QeceBsity is provided. Dr. Macloan can no more keep out of be papers with "liis opinions" than a 'OUDX bootblack can keep a clean face )n tlie lea-t [lossible pretext he flies Into olanini of explau.'itions, and latt niht's )etroit Journal held an extended letter rom l.im critioising the decisión of the ejrents in retalnlng the medical departïent a8 :i wbole instead ot splitting it in wo. Such tilines are oxaelly what burts -he department, and the regents would ie dciing simple justice to the university nd tliemselves, by eiiforcing their laws i-lative ti) nieinbcrs of the different facilties discussin{ the aflVirs ol the departments In public prints. TtH) medical delartment lived and flonrished before Dr. Iar.iMii emerged trom obscurity in Canda, and it is just possible that it can manage to sustaln life should he lose bis nnnectloa with it now. At any rate it would be far bettr than the present DDStant janglinü he keejis ttp.
