Huron and State streets, North Uuiversity and Washtenaw avenues, making the round trip every hour. - The Abgüs erred last week in stating on what it considered reliable information that the vines in the grapery of Mrs. Wood had been cut down.

That i the better way. i - The júniora and semors-aee "card "- deny the mrisdiction of the faculty over the " hazers " who ply their vocation out of college hours and offfrorathe college grounds, and then charge the civil authorities with wiuking at their performanceB. Wasu't one of the "original six" rescued from the Marshal last f all by hia classmatea when en route tor ja.il, and didn't he leavo his coat in eaid Marshal'a hands ? - We understand that the President of the üniversity is daily deluged with letters : from college presidenta and professors, parenta of suspended and parents of unsuspended students, and from prominent profesional and buainess men of this and other States, commending their recent discipline of the "hazers" and urgmg pcrseverance in the same line.
