Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Although Ann Arbor is between tw*> uni three degrees north of RvnseeUw I am convinced that the winter season fa less trying to the human system, and thn» the elimat* is more equable and agreeable. Last winter the mean range of the sacrcury was quite low, but the temperature continued so even, with no blustering storms nor sudden changes, our bodies were able to bear the cold without extra tare. So fitr thiA winter has been remarkably mild, ice did not freeze sufficiently for safe skating until after holidays. During the latter part of January and the first of February there waa considerable snow, it falling th the depth of twenty inchw dr move. Atm Arbor is an important educational point. Thia last year 1,117 students matriculated in the University. Including the Uuion seliool and Preparatory departmsnt. nearly 2,00 b are now in attendance. jnW-UntwMty affords splendid opportunities for all who desire to take, either a scientific* classical, or professional course of study. By using economy, students can live fbr $8.25 a wovk, and perhaps for less. The place is aishtH and healthy. The campus embraces roily acres of ground, nicely carpeted with blue grass,and tastily beset with most attractive ornamental trees. Fins oement walks Head from the different departments Imo tnfi city. Thte facilitiee Ibh acquiring ah education presented here are excellent; 1 believe that a finished collegiate oducatloh costs as little here as al aby other place on thq continent. Malarious sickness la seldom known. Very few youngsters have A debilitated waxy look; but on tho contrary they flourish in tho ftesb bloqm of health; Tho comraencment exercises of tho law and medical departments will be held on tne 27th day of Maroh. Many of us !>reaffiioted with the sheep-skin fever, bdt. eli- , mate being naturally hoallby all will fW>br ul ablv survive should we pass the crisis'without getting pluckod. ’'.'Xn i
