Wall Journal Street
its a place where people write their journals on a wall for everyone who walks by to be able to read. Some veterans from WW1 wrote journal entries on this wall that pertained to UM.

Ah, the former President in one of his more intellectual moments.
(I don't care for too many presidents on either side, fwiw).
November 9th, 2018 at 4:53 PM ^
Oh yeah, you know that constitutional law professor at the University of Chicago... what a dumbass!
(irrelevant parenthetical statement that doesn't make my previous statement any less fuckin stupid)
November 9th, 2018 at 5:31 PM ^
Not all who are educated are wise, my friend.
(especially politicians allied with former terrorists (Ayers) or mobsters (Rezko) or racist men claimint to be ministers (Wright) )
And no, I'm not a Republican.
Ok, done with the political slant.
November 9th, 2018 at 7:50 PM ^
Allied with? Alex Jones, is that you?
November 9th, 2018 at 10:04 AM ^
i’m confused
November 9th, 2018 at 10:04 AM ^
Would like to read it, did I miss the link?
November 9th, 2018 at 10:07 AM ^
You have to actually go there in person to read it.
November 9th, 2018 at 11:47 AM ^
Wait, I have to go to Russia or Wall Journal Street? One place is far and I don't think the other place exists.
November 9th, 2018 at 5:22 PM ^
no need to think. Ask Sergei.
November 9th, 2018 at 10:06 AM ^
Cool story bro. Dont provide a link or anything.
There was this one time....at band camp....
November 9th, 2018 at 10:07 AM ^
uhhhh...whats going on here?
November 9th, 2018 at 10:09 AM ^
Not even a link to the story?
November 9th, 2018 at 10:14 AM ^
The 339th Infantry Regiment was known as Detroit’s Own. Most of the 3,800 car-factory workers, tax attorneys, farm laborers, shopkeepers and other conscripts who filled its ranks hailed from Michigan.
...
As the American soldiers walked down the gangplank, they were greeted by the University of Michigan fight song, “The Victors,” played by the band from the warship USS Olympia.
Hail to the victors valiant
Hail to the conquering heroes
Hail! Hail! To Michigan
The champions of the West!
November 9th, 2018 at 10:25 AM ^
Rumor has it that the farm laborers, wearing their green and white Michigan Agricultural College jerseys, were not pleased with the choice of songs.
November 10th, 2018 at 5:57 AM ^
Go Aggies!!

That's a great story! And the Olympia is the oldest steel hull US warship still afloat.
November 9th, 2018 at 10:22 AM ^
Sorry. forgot the link and this Wall Street Journal article is behind the pay wall
November 9th, 2018 at 10:34 AM ^
search for a few words from the title and you can read it via the link from the search engine.
November 9th, 2018 at 11:34 AM ^
Copy and paste the wsj story's url at outline.com
November 9th, 2018 at 10:25 AM ^
"Can't believe how much this relates to the university of Michigan!"
Btw it's very OT
November 9th, 2018 at 10:39 AM ^
I don't want to read a story where the Michigan guys lose. That just sucks.
November 9th, 2018 at 4:30 PM ^
Protip: Do not read the "Scenario where UM gets into playoff with loss to OSU". thread.
November 9th, 2018 at 11:04 AM ^

Good article, if a clumsy headline.
November 9th, 2018 at 12:07 PM ^
Little disappointed this wasn't first brought up by Craig Ross on the Roundtable.
November 9th, 2018 at 12:22 PM ^
I'm not sure if Craig played in the band or marched off the gangplank?
November 9th, 2018 at 12:35 PM ^
OP - thank you for sharing this - great article.
November 9th, 2018 at 1:50 PM ^
I was planning on going there to read it, per instructions from the early replies to this thread.
November 9th, 2018 at 3:16 PM ^
Rutgers = Mensheviks
November 9th, 2018 at 4:11 PM ^
I wish they would have wiped out the Bolsheviks and sent them to their graves.
I've known enough people who lived in Communist Russia who can testify to how horrid and oppressive life was during that time. Everyone talks about how bad Hitler was, but forget that Lenin and Stalin were just as horrible in their massacre measures.
November 9th, 2018 at 4:33 PM ^
But . . . but . . . it sounded so good in theory . . .
November 9th, 2018 at 5:28 PM ^
In probably misplaced earnestness: Bolshevism didn't sound that good in theory, even to a lot of Marx-influenced contemporaries. China Mieville's October is a really fascinating look at the power struggles leading up to and immediately following the Czar's overthrow in St Petersburg, if you're interested in this sort of thing.
November 9th, 2018 at 8:01 PM ^
Mieville is a commie.
