That Pres. Ilenry Wade Hogers of the N'orthwesic'-ii (jniversity, solong a inent member of our faculty and resident o1' our city, has a warm place in the hearts of Michigan men, was evidenced by the magnificent auclience that gathered tohearhhn last Mönday upon the occasion of the annual celebration of W'ashington's birthday by the Law Department, at which Pres. hogers was the speaker. This occasion has come to be oneoí the chief features of the college year, and is a credit both to the university at large and to the Department which maintains it. The celebration of Washington's birlhday gives an opportunity for lessons of the highest and purest patriotism, and is a theme worthy of the contemplation of every tme American. In' the long line of excellent addresses that havo been given in this series, few if a n y have been more helpful and encouraging than that given by Pres. Rogers here last Monday. His subject was "Interna'ional Arbitratiqn." He traced the principie in lts varions applicationsof greaterorlessdegree. f rom the time of Washington to the present. While there may be evils, such as an attempt to set aside the nation's honor or independence, which might make war justiliable or necessary. yet the civilized nations of the earth are becoming more and more cornmittcd to the tlieory that war is the extremest measnre. and that arbitralion can and shoukl bringabout the honorable settlement of almost all (luestions that can arise between governments. i'res. líogers paid a high compliment to Dr. Angelí as a diplomat, and said that it seemed incredible that senators of the (Jnited Stáfes, should so quibble over a vital matter, as the present senate is doing over the treaty between England and the United States. No tvvo nations on earth are so well situated to give a strong Ímpetus to this irlea as are these, and the opportunity should not be lost. The various cominittees that liad the program in charge did their work well, and the commemoration was one of the most succesrful ever conducted by the Department. Prof. Stanley and the Glee Club carne in for a full share of praise, and the audience was very much pleased with the tirst appearance of the ü. of M. band.
