This inscription, around the top of the
walls inside the Wigwam, is a poem that according to a 1997 member
directory, "This poem is taught to Young Bucks by members of the Pride
during Longest Week. It is representative of Michigamua's philosophy
that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts." The poem reads:
The Law of the Jungle
Now this is the Law of the Jungle,
As Old and as True as the Sky
And the Wolve that Shall Keep it may Prosper,
But the Wolve that Shall Break it must Die
As the Creeper that Girdles the Tree Trunk,
The Law runneth Forward and Back
For the Strength of the Pack is the Wolve,
ANd the Strength of the Wolve is the Pack.
Fielding Yost, an early athletic
director for whom Yost Ice Arena was named, was an early honorary
member of Michigamua. See the end of this file for a list of honorary
members.

More photos from Rope Day in 1966. The
text is a good example of the bastardized form of english used in all
official publications between 1904 and sometime in the 1980s.
This small plaque located near the
fountain at the North Entrance to the Michigan reads: "Construction of
this Plaza was made possible through the generosity of the members and
alumni of Michigamua the Senior Honorary Society."
