University Of Michigan

Cupid has winged one of Michigan' law students, who now, thanks to successful strategy, is enrolled among the Benedicta. The story is told in a dispatch from Bad Ase, as follows: "Robert Wallace is a very wealthy pioneer quarryman, having operated quarries fo'r many years at Grindstone City. lie has four sons: Lee and John, who have a quarry at Grindstoue City; Will, manager of the Bayport quarries, and Sam, a medical student at Ann Arbor and a chum of Mr. Reede. The latter has long been an admirer of his chum's pretty sister but, it seems, he was not acceptable to her párente. Last week Miss Aunie went to the Bayport quarry to visit her brother Will. The Saturday morning train brought Sam and Reede "from the University. On their arrival Mr. Reed was asked his business by Will. He answered that he had an invitation to spend Sunday with Miss Wallace. Will promptly ordered him to leave by the first train. Mr. Reede, however, stayed around till later in the lav. wlien Sam and Annie drove over to the Bayport summer resort for some fish, taking Reede with them. On arriving at Bayport Sam went down on I the pier to buy the fish, very considerately leaving the other two alone. Reede hunted up a clergyman, and, having previously obtained a marriage license, was united to Miss Wallace, immediately leaving on the ürst train for parts utiknown." TOE COSCKKTS. The University Musical Society bas arranged an exceptionally fine list of concerts this year. They are as follows : November 13. - Detroit Philharmonic Club, and Miss Bloomfield-Zeisler. Pianiste. December 9. - Ovide Mnsin, and a superb company. January 30. - Mockridge Concert Company, Mrs. Rhodes, Mr. Mockridge, Mr. Beresford, and Miss Belle Botsford. February 12. - Choral Union, (240 Voices), Mrs. Ginevra JohnstonBishop, soprano, and a full orcheatra in a superb program. May -.Boston Symphony Orchestra, (70 performers) Arthur Nikisch, ductor. The date cannot be announced until the details of the orchestra's western trip are arranged. May 17.- "Damnation of Faust," Berlioz, Choral Union ; Mrs. E. M. Hascall, Boston, soprano ; Mr. Heinrich Meyer, baritone.and a grand orchestra of 60 performers. In addition to the attractione promised in the proposed Choral Union series of this year, negotiations are in progress looking to the engagement of Herr Andreas Dippel, a magnificent tenor. Mr. Dipple would appear as Fauitt in the final concert. Of course such an engagement would necessitate the sale of a larger number of tickets tüan proposed; but we are confident no one who knows of the record of this series for the past two years will deny the possibility of selling almost any number. The importance of securing tickets immediately cannot be overestimated, as the competition for an artist like Dippel is verj great. The executive committee of the Choral Union desires to sell the entire number of tickets necessary to ensure the success of the series before the first concert, November 13. Remember an associate membership ticket cost but $2.00; that the course is superior to any in the state; that tickets may be secured at Calkins' and at the Ann ArborOrgan Co.'s store.
