DEFENDS STUDENTS MORALS.

Ann Arbor University Sends Out Most
Foreign Missionaries.
Ann Arbor. Mich, Oct. 3.-over 300
students gathered in University Hall
to hear President Angelrs annual ad-
dress to the new arrivals. He took
up the question of immortality in Uni
versities.
Compare 5000 students with 5000
young men outside of college," said
President Angel, and you will find
that the collegians are fully up to the
moral of their non-college brethren. AS
for Michigna, she sends out more for
eign missionaries than any other in
stitution in the country. AS a whole,
the aims and purposes of the students
are upright and manly but OCCASIONALLY
