A PORTO RICAN AT UNIVERSITY

PROTEGE OF REGENT BARBOUR WILL ATTEND

Son of a Prominent Man on the Island--His Sister Will Also be Here

Regent Levi Barbour was in the city Monday to secure a tutor in Mathematics for a young Porto Rican, who rill enter the medical department in the fall. The young man, Stephenus Bonago and hi sister are at present guests at the home of Regent Barbour n Detroit. Their father is one of the most noted men of their island, being at the head of all the asylums there.

Yesterday young Bonago visited in Ann Arbor, and while here was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. William Strain, of S. University avenue. As he is a friend of Mr. Strain's brother in New York. Those who talked with him thought he already had an excellent knowledge of the language and a most beautiful accent. Regent Barbour is desirous that the young man should make the best possible progress and thinks he would do better in a private family than to go into a boarding house. Mr. Bonago will return next week and take up regular study in Geometry with Dr. James Glover.
