Good Manners And Commencement Exercises

Km tor Arous : - The frpproacbíng CmnmencomeTit and accompanying exefcisea soem t Iemand somc reference, at this time, to ti; man11er wbich almost uniformly ínark and mar such occasions. It is well known to those who attcnd thoso exorcist, that cortain'persons, sitting ín tho gallory, indulge in loud conversation and laughing with tho frccdom of the parior and the party. On the occasion of the Chi Psi exorcises, so loud was tho conversation and the laughing, that tho voices of the individuals cotild ha detected, and this was persevered in ín spitc of the most evident tokens of disapprobation on the part of the audience. Prominent in this nuisance are certain young ladies, the daughters of rospectable and leading citizens. Names will readily occur to your readers. We have boen mortified that strangers should be thus received and treated in our city. We trust that a similar reception does not await the speakers on Tucsday evening, and that this is no' the style of reoeption that we may anticípate for President Anoell on his first introduction to an Ann Arbor audionce. It is not a very pleasant thing for a presiding oflicer to ask people to conduct thomselves with propriety, and if parents and guardians cannot secure proper conduct, let tho Marshal be instructed to enforce order without regard to persons. Therc is no roason why a few persons should be allowed to disturb lecture and other occasions, to gratify their desiro for notoriety, or because their manners are not equal to their position. Wo have suffered as a community in reputation from this very thing, and it is time that the nuisance should bo abated.
