The Regents Win

The joint resolution offered by Sen,tor Wagner, submitting to a vote of he people a constitutional ameiidment naking the board 'of regents of the Jniversity subject to the authority of he legislature, was voted down in the tate senate, Tuesday, after a full dis ■iission, by the decisive vote of 21 to 7. riie purpose of this resolution was to iffect the removal of the Homeopathie lepartment of the medical school to Detroit. Senator Bostwick led the discussion n behalf of the regents. and, among ither things, said that when the regents, ilected by the people, have no control ver the University, then the common eople would feel that they have no :hoice in the conduct of the great edu:ational institution Political discon;ent might express itself, and the Unirersity be kicked about by malcontent egislatnrs like a football. He spoke of he undercurrent of communism, daily ;roving stronger, and urged that if the Jniveisity govrnment was taken out )f the hands of the regents, the fanatcism of communism might run wild md the University be torn down stone 'rom stone. Senator Wagner, on behalf of the people who w;int to see the University Jismembered. said he knew of no reaon why state institutions should not ibide by the laws of the stilte, and he wanted to see the regents of the Unirersity amenable lo legislativo authority. It was Senator Hughes' turn then, md he is still smarting over the disjourtesy the senate has shown his friend, the governor, so he recalled to the minds of his colleagues how the senate had placed football with the overnor, and how the chief executive liad in his turn played football with the ■lupreme Court, notwifhstanding that Senator Wagner has so strongly contended that Republicans would not do such things. Senator Coleman touchetl np sope of the spots when he said it was consummate foolishness for mybody to maintain that 132 men elected for two years could handje the alïairs of the University better than eight regents elected for six years.

Chas.E. Iliscock was born in this city in 1854 and his busy life has been spent entirely in Ann Arbor. TIe passed through what was then known as the grammar school, and entered the employ of the Ann Arbor Savings Bank in isiiü.as messenger boy. By persistent application to duty and rare business qualifications he worked his way up through the various positions in the bank until he was, in 1876, eleeted cashier, the duties of which position he has since discharged with credit to himself and satisfaction to the directors of the bank. The bank over which Mayor Hiscock presides is one of the strongest linaneial institutions. in this state, and his long service there has given him an enviable reputation in business circles. In addition to his duties at the bank Mr. Iliscock is a director and the tre isurer of the Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti Electric Railway Ca; director, secretary and treasurer of the Michigan Furniture Co.; secretary and treasurer of the Keystone Boating and Fishing Association; treasurer of 'the Arm Arhor Commandery Knights Templar, Washtenaw chapter. Fraternity lodge and Masonic Mutual [nsnrance Co., and of the xVnti Tramp society; vice president of the Town and Gown club; and chaplain and trustee of Ann Arbor 15. P. ( ). Klks all of which goes to show that he is a yery busy man and that his fell-iw tównsmen place a high estímate upon his services. Mr. Iliscock was a delégate to the Republican national convention at Minneapolis in 1892 and candidato for presidential elector the same year. He has been for the past two yeara the president of the common council and the people of Ann Arbor feel assured that the chief executive office of their city is iu safe and c-ipable hands.
