Variety Of suits we offer at

In the rapid expansion of

fear that some Of our old

these figures, may have felt
that because Of the emphasis
laid on the higher priced

Of course we are proud Of
the fact that with the i'm
proved style and finish which
years have brought to our
product, we have had a
steadily increasing demand
for our goods from men who
have been paying custom
tailors much more than we
need ask.
For such men we have
combed the markets Of the
world for the finest woolens
cbtainable. have searched for
exclusive patterns, and have
achieved results.
But in our progress toward
the day when all men who
can afford the finest Woolens
will look to clothiers Of our

the great body of our staunch
friends who look to US for

pend on at prices like $50

ginning with the senior girls break
fast at noon on Friday, June Is, at
the Michigan Union, practically every
hour of daylight until the following
Thursday evening will be taken up
with some event connected with COM
mencement
Thursday is commencement day
proper, beginning at S:15 o'clock in
the morning, at which time buglers
give the signal for the assemblange
of the various classes on the campus,
ready for the march to the big audi
forum. The commencement process
sion is an event which once seen will
never be forgotten, for in addition to
a thousand students in caps and
gowns, all the members of the facul-
ty and speakers are similarly attired,
and as many of the faculty members
are graduates of old world institu-
tions, where holders of high degrees
are distinguished by gowns bearing
hoods of gorgeous colors. The exer-
cises begin at 10 o'clock, and 1t
usually requires two hours to get the
parade over and the seniors and
guests in their seats, although it is
but a step from the campus TO the
auditorium. The commencement ad-
dress this year will be delivered by
Dr. William Oxley Thompson, presi-
dent of Ohio State university, and
following it the seniors will receive
diplomas from President Hutchins.
The annual reception to Homeopathic
graduates alumni and members of the
