month so far. the temperature has on
ly been above zero on two or three oc-
casions for short periods and the
mean temperature for the first eleven
days probably would be several de-
grees below zero. AS there probably
will be several more cold days i'm the
present period or cold weather, the
mercury viii have to do some soaring

the record is not TO be broken.

ANGEL YOUNG AT 50.
U. Of M. President Emeritus is Still in
Vigorous Health.

Ann Arbor. Mich. Jan. 1i.-Ths week
Or. James H. Angel, president emer-
tus of the University of Michigan, was
SO years of age. No special function
was prepared I'm his honor, but two of
his children were with him on the oc-
castor. Judge Alexis Angel of De-
ltroit and Mrs. Andrew Mclaughlin OF
Chicago Prof James B. Angel Of the
University of Chicago was unable to
be here.
II was 40 years ago last fall that
Dr. Angell took upon himself the
duties OF the presidency of Michi-
gan which he laid down but two years
ago.
In speaking of his coming TO Mich
igan SO long ago. Mr. Angel said:
Il was not one Of those who thought
that there was nothing but wilder
ness west of the Hudson, and when
came here | found "A thriving vigorous
institution. Everything was of course
on much smaller scale then than now.
There were about l.20O students all
told, and In numbers the university
has increased fourfold. At that time
the engineering school was not a sepa-
rate department. but a part of the lit
erary department Then too. there
was no dental department. but there
were thriving departments of medi-
cine and o: law.
There was a remarkably strong
faculty in the university when
came to Michigan, and / believe
it is equally strong toda~. believe
one of the principal reasons why
the institution has grown so fast
is that the faculties of the different
departments have always been of such
a high standard"
DIR. Angel shows no sign of his
advanced age. Many men fifteen years
younger are no more active. Each
day finds DR.. Angel for some hours
at his desk In administration build
ing. and no day is too cold nor too
for his constitutional.
Aside from a slight bronchial trou-
BILE, DR.. Angel is in the average
health of man 20 years his jun
ior The slight attack of apoplexy
suffered by him last summer while
abroad has left no visible effect, ex-
cept possibly that the venerable presi-
dent emeritus walks n trifie slower
than he did a year ago. Otherwise he
is in as vigorous health as he was a
year ago.
