Hamlet-like

In Ann Arbor, the 4,000 student and faculty members of the University of Michigan, men and women, came into convocation. Their President, Dr. Marion Leroy Burton, rose to address them. Said he: "Things have transpired recently that are as raw as anything that has happened in my IS years of administration experience. You students are lazy. You loaf, you gamble,* you spend weekends in big cities, and then you wonder why we don't want you here. We don't want loafers here, and we will get rid of you as fast as we find you out. Student evils in this university must go.

"We must have students who are men. They must believe in honesty, plain decency, must be chivalrous, must respect themselves and be industrious. Self-restraint is the first requirement of a student. We must wisely bring back some of the chivalry of the Middle Ages to be used at the present time. That would elevate our attitude toward women."

* In Elsinore, Prince Hamlet, finding things rotten, berated his contemporaries, saying: "You jig, you amble,"
