We 8hould like to enter a protest, ineffectual though it will be, against thecutting down of the willow trees alona; the river banks. Several years ago " School Girl'8 Glen" was as pretty a spot as one could wish to stroll through. But since the trees have been felled, its beauty has disappeared and its charm is gone. It seems too bad that for the sake of a few cords of wood one of the prettiest parts of the river should be deprived of its attractiveness. - Chronicle. Prof. M. E. Cooley says of Asst. Engineer Leo D. Miner, whohas been sent by the U. S. navy department to teach marine engineering in the U. of M: "Mr. Miner is a nati ve of Toledo and about 30 years of age. He entered the U. S. Naval Academy in 187 graduating in 1880, two years after myself. About balf of bis time since graduation has been spent at sea, bis last cruise being in the South Pacific on boaid the U. S. S. Iroquois. For the past year be has been on duty at the Norfolk Navy Yard from which place he comes here, accompanied by bis mother who will make this her home during her son's stay. They have pleasant qoarters at Mrs. Forsyth's on N. State at., Prof. Olney's old home." The Detroit people did not intend to lose that one posilion on the board of regents, and so, before the dead regent had been consigned to the tomb, they pounced upon Gov. Luce and his private secretary and nearly made them wish they were in the tomb. The governor made the appointment with such unseemly haste probably to stop the deluge of letters and appeals sent to him: he had to have some time to devote to the Ann Arbor charter. The appointment of Dr. Hermaan Kiefer, of Detroit, to the place made vacant by the death of Regent Moses W. Field, is probably all right. The doctor is a retired physician. He is a gradúate of Heidelberg university.
