Won't you add a few of the outstanding memories of your college days? We shall be glad to hear of any incident, however trivial, which lingers in your mind.

The incidents which stand out most clearly in my mind beginning in my Freshman year are as follows:-

The visit of Cardinal Mercier to the University.

Final examinations in June in the West Gallery of Memorial Hall.

The Inauguration of President Burton.

History class in Tappan Hall interrupted by the "baa, baa" of the President's lamb.

The Michigan Band as it first appears on Ferry Field at a foot-ball game.

The Union Tap-room after girls were banned.

The one bolt we received in Prof. Shull's Heredity class.

Studying (?) in the Library.

Michigan Union Operas of '20, '21, '22, '23

Baseball games - every one.

Trying to find my way to a certain room on the fourth floor of Science Bldg and finally after being seated about five minutes too late, to find that your own class is being held in exactly the same room on the opposite side of the building.

Swing out Day.
