 have stood back of the club. I wish 

 all of you and the club, the very best

Thanks to T. M. Wood, '13, Mich- 

 igan Foresters now boast a song all 

 their own. The need of such a thing 

 has been felt for some time, but it 

 remaine'd for "Woody" to bring it to 

 materialization. We feel, with Prof- 

 essor Roth, that it is an excellent 

 thins, and that now something has 

 been started in this line, others will 

 be forthcoming. The song itself is 

 good, and has a hearty swing. We 

 are sorry to be unable to publish the 

 music. It was introduced for the 

 first time at the Hill smoker, and it 

 made an immediate hit. We give the 

 words herewith: 



We've hit the rail a little way, 



We're mighty glad we've come, 

 We're here in old Ann Arbor 



And we're going to make things 



hum. 

 We all will stick together and do the 



best we can, 



To show the kind of foresters we 

 raise at Michigan. 



i ' > ~ ^ 



Some of us like ginger-ale and some 

 of us like beer, 



Some of us like other things much 



stronger and more dear; 

 Whate'er your form of beverage, 



Come join us in our plan; 

 Get your cup and fill it up 



To dear old Michigan. 



When we hit the bigger trail, 



Let's hit it with a shout, 

 And try to hold the pace set 



By the boys already out. 

 Wherever they may send us, 



'Still do the best we can, 

 To show it's only top-notch men 



They raise at Michigan.

E. H. Pound blew in from far away 

 South America during the week of 

 June 2nd, and gave an interesting 

 talk one morning in the Museum 

 Lecture room. Pound has spent two 

 years with an exploring party in the 

 equatorial regions of South America, 

 making investigations of rubber. In 

 company with two others he crossed 

 the continent from Guayaquil, Ecua- 

 dor, on the Pacific coast, to Para, 

 Brazil, on the Atlantic a distance 

 of 2,300 miles in a straight line. Two 

 others were associated with him 

 during this trip, which included a 190 

 mile railroad ^ourry. a 40 mile ride 

 mule-back, a 900 m'le walk down the 

 slopes of the mountains from a 10,- 

 000 foot to a 1,500 foot altitude, a 

 long canoe ride and a steamboat trip. 

 He related exciting experiences and 

 much interesting information. 



Professor Roth left us on June 2d 

 to make a week's lecture trip
