Best Behavior Beautifully Booming

The article in the last Ï98ue of the AUGUS de.-cribing the boisterous conduct of the students in public places and upon the streets, their arrest, etc, rceeived mauy coniplitiiHUta for its fairness and absence of uialice. There was no desire to do aught than justice to both sides. The ABGUS will maintuin law and order at all times, but its justice is not blinded. We think wfcll of students, not only beoause once a student ourself. but because the prosperity of our beantiful city is in a large meaure dependent upon the number of students who now and hereafter will reside in our raidst. They constitute one-st-venth of the populatioii of the city, help to inake Aun Arbor nn excellent local market for surplus vegetable produce, increase the sales of the grocer, to a limited exteut are customers of our elothing housea, and in other ways coutribute to the financial well-being of the town. This is the business side of the matter. It is not alone that a half million of dollars spent In the city through students, the faculty, in fact, traeeabl to the eminent iii8titution of learning, but, there is another, and, to niany a more pleasurable view, viz : the intellectual side. Students generally are gentlemen in and out of the universily which fact serves to lunintain a good order of society. A few have been :.ccustomed to do things discreditable to theiuselves and this community. We were pleased to hearthat members of th faculty, President Angelí and Prof. Kent particularly, couuseled the students to avoid all occasion for offense to local authorities. This is no more, no less, thim they should do. The faculty can do mueli by co-operation to pro serve order. The welfare of the university depends larunly upou order within and without its walls. Parents will hesitate to seud sons and claughters to be edueated where they are not proper ly restrained. Those students who en tererl bonds in $100 each to appear for trial before Jutice Clark on Tuesday, were discharged, no one appearing against theui. A consultation upon the part of authorities resulted in an agreement to abandon prosecution. In view of no further trouble this actiori is wise. Let us hopt-, that in the future, for the welfaie of the university, the credit of the city and the repute of students theiuselves, that theie will arise no occasion, at the opera house, postoffice, indeed, anywhere, for criticism of ungentlemanly eouduct of students.
