Reflections

The past two weeks have been proud weeks for Ann Arbor. Seventy young men and women have left her great academy and 620 have bade adieu to the pride of Michigan. All these, the piek of the nation's young, will soon be scaUered abroad through all parts of the country- even throngh all parts of the civilized world. Wherever they go the fame of Ann Arbor goes also, and by thousands of lips her praises are Bung. No one has heard of Michigan wiihout hearing also of her greatest pride, the University, and no one mentions the name of Ann Arbor without calling to mind the name of its great preparatory schooi. Think of it- 3,000 students eongregated together in a city wliich has acarcely passed in age tliree score years and ten! It is not strange, therefore, tbat the eyes of the civilized world are directed towards Ann Arbor, and that hundreds of celebrated men flnd quiet and pleasant homes within i's beautiful precincts. There is every rearon to believe that the "Athens of the West" will, from year to year, grow more worthy of the fiattering name thus applied to her.
