“Ann Arbor has changed wonderfully since you and I roamed its streets as students. The old landmarks are nearly all gone, and one can only recall localities by the aid of a vivid imagination. The small frame buildings with which we were familiar have given place to spacious and tasteful houses; and the vegetable gardens which surrounded them have been replaced by handsome lawns and shady retreats.”
