ROwDYIsM IN STUDENT LIFE.

The Michigan University at Ann Arbor
has heretofore been esteemed one of the
best ordered institutions of an educational
character in the whole country. Its stu
dents have been charged with less dis
orderly conduct than any others, if we ex-
cept those of the California State Uni
versity, which enjoys high reputation in
this regard. But it would seem that of
late the Ann Arbor institution has been
gaining unenviable notoriety because of
the lawlessness of the students, and this is
surprising to all who are informed upon
the administrative character of this in
stitution in the past. There must, there
fore, in recent times have been relaxation
of discipline, for it is reported that now,
within week, Ann Arbor students have
been engaged in riotous affairs of the most
objectionable character. In one case at
college games they had boxing matches
which degenerated into brutal slogging
affairs and ended in a row in which the
police were compelled to take part. In
the other, some three hundred students
went to circus with the express intent of
guying the performers and "kicking up
row." They succeeded so well that riot
ensued, in which weapons were used,
some twenty or more people were seriously
injured, and at least one is so badly
wounded that he will die. Michigan can
not afford to tolerate this sort of thing.
She has won distinguished honor for her
educational system, and the fine character
of Ann Arbor University. If her students
are now developing into hoodlums she
needs to apply specific, and from what
we know Of the temper of Michigan Leg
islatures we believe it will be administered.
Why it is that when young men are sent
to an institution Of that character they
often develop sort of savagery, has never
been satisfactorily explained If it is the
exuberance of youthful spirits that be-
come uncomfortable, or if it is the mere
spirit of mischief, it must be suppressed.
College sports, the liberal hours afforded
for recreation, the short terms and long
vacations, ought to give the students of
this day time and means sufficient for
working off their surplus animal spirits,
without taking term time in which to
cultivate the idea that there is something
Of the rowdy in the young man who enters
college.

quite desire to see il, which pleasure was
granted me few days since, and to use a
remark from Mark Twain. 1T is the gem
of the lake." The entrance is through a
channel not 200 feet wide, and it is sur.
rounded By the grand mountains, some of
the peaks 100 feet high. The water is a
beautiful emerald green.
Then there is little island, rocky and
romantic, on which is built the tomb OF
Captain Dick. II is hoped this most beau
tiful nook about the lake will now become
favorite haunt of all lovers of the grand,
picturesque aud beautiful. 1t has been
named ''Coquette Island for at the end OF
the bay are the Lovers Falls" Hereto.

there, guests have failed to visit this beau.

HAS 1t occurred to the people of Oak

of children in the population in those
cities, as shown by the school census re-
ports, may, IN large part, be accounted for
by the fact that marriage is much dis
Outraged by the present system of having
women enter all kinds of b.:siness? Has
1t occurred to any one that the advent of
women into business walks discourages
child-bearing, and that the decline in the
Juvenile census returns may have a physi-
cal reason, and one that touches at the
core the existence of good social condi-
tons? If we are not greatly mistaken
the census Of 1890 will startle the whole
country by certain revelations. The truth
is, that we are, as rapidly as we possibly
can do it, unsexing the women of the race
by encouraging them to enter into bust
ness and other walks that are destructive
of domesticity, and that are at war with
the true purposes and highest offices of a
womans life.
