More than $275,000 has been subscribed to the TJnion Memorial building fund. Detroit is close to the $50,000 mark. Blake Miller is still working in the metropolis with prospects of completing the eastern section of the state by Commencement.

L. P. Breckenridge, who was professor of mechanical engineering at the college 1891-93 and who has since that time been on the fac­ulty of Sheffield Scientific school of Yale uni­versity, will retire at the end of the present college year after forty years of teaching and practicing his profession. Professor Brecken­ridge was to address the New Haven branch of the. Connecticut section of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers in New Haven May 21. At the meeting, where he was scheduled to speak on "The Past and Future of Engineering," nationally prominent associ­ates of his planned to present him with a set of resolutions.

Professor Breckenridge intends to spend his summers in Vermont and his winters in Cali­fornia. He established the chapter of Tau Beta Pi at M. A. C.

ANIBAL RESIGNS FROM PEERLESS

Ben H. Anibal, '09, has resigned as chief engineer of the Peerless Motor Co. The an­nouncement which appeared in the Detroit Free Press said Anibal had not reported his plans for the future except to say that he in­tended taking a vacation. He was with the Peerless firm for two years, leaving a similar position with the Cadillac Motor company to enter into new relations. He was in the em­ploy of the General Motors corporation and the companies which were merged to form it for twelve years after leaving college.

Dick J. Crosby, '93, who has been teaching at Cornell and doing research work on ex­tension methods is spending the present col­lege year on sabbatical leave, making a study for the committee on instruction of the Land Grant College association into the means which can be taken to promote higher scholarship among the colleges. Crosby states that the inauguration of the point system and the plan whereby students are separated into sections according to ability in mathematics and Eng­lish are the two greatest steps M. A. C. has taken in this regard.

4 THB M. A. C. RECORD

BOARD PROPOSES 16,000 SEATS

Asks Stadium be Constructed so that Additions of Units up to a Capacity of 24,000 Can be Made as Needed

The following report of the buildings and grounds committee of the board in control of athletics was adopted at a recent meeting of the board and has been presented to. the State Board of Agriculture for consideration. Enough members of the State Board have already signified their approval to insure its passage.

"Cognizant of the great step in progress which the assurance of adequate athletic facili­ties means to M. A. C, the board in control of athletics wishes to express its apprecia­tion to the Honorable Alex J. Groesbeck, the state senate and house of representatives for the loan, on generous terms, of sufficient funds to erect a modern stadium.

"It is recommended that the state depart­ment of construction undertake the erection of a modern concrete stadium with a seating ca­pacity for 16,000 spectators, to be available next fall, with plans arranged so that the ca­pacity may be increased to at least 24,000 when the added seats are found necessary.

"It is recommended that the stadium be lo­cated east and south of the present gymnasium on the high ridge approximately 500 yards from the gymnasium. The following condi­tions prompt the selection of this location:

"It will provide a well drained playing field with an elevation at least ten feet above the highest recorded water mark..

"It is near the gymnasium and separate dressing rooms, baths, heating connections and so forth, will not be necessary.

"When connected with the campus by a broad bridge across the Red Cedar east of the gymnasium, it will be easily accessible from all points and for all types of traffic. Farm Lane and Harrison avenue will provide two divergent entrances aside from the new bridge near the gymnasium, and the proposed boulevard along the south side of the Red Cedar would add yet another.

"There will be ample parking space for automobiles in close proximity to the field, and a large area will be available for tennis courts, baseball diamonds, track courses and other athletic fields as the need arises.

"The railway spur passes close to this site,

keeping the cost of transporting material at a low point.

"Student, faculty and alumni opinion unani­mously favors this selection. ,

"It is hoped that the work of construction can begin immediately and that the stadium will' be ready for use next fall."

TOUMEY SEES NEED FOR FOREST RESEARCH

J. W. Tourney, *8Q, who was until last June director of the Yale Forestry school, is now professor of silviculture and is doing research work on a tract of forest land at Keene, N. H., where he has charge of extensive projects. Tourney retired to devote, his time entirely to research work and is carrying out a great variety of projects on the Keene forest which was recently deeded to Yale.

In a recent issue of the Yale Alumni Week­ly some of his work is outlined. He writes:

"American forestry today is as much in need of a background of research in forest production as American agriculture was in need of agricultural research fifty years ago. Our problems in silviculture will be solved only when the underlying principles of its practice have been established on the basis of definite knowledge resulting from research and experiments. -

"Research in forest production is so com­plex and diverse and so dependent on a thorough grounding in the natural sciences, it cannot be left to the sporadic initiative of indfvidual foresters whose chief interests may lie in different directions. It must be under­taken by the public and by educational insti­tutions. Forest research has scarcely ob­tained an established place in our educational institutions. The schools of forestry must play an important part in the work of for­est research and experiments."

C. M. Archbold, '24, Clyde, Ohio, was thrown from a horse during cavalry drill and was severely injured. He is recovering from a broken collar bone, broken wrist and pain­ful bruises and sprains.

"Bill" Edwards came to town the other day from Guam and being full of inspiration, "Bill" called up all M. A. C. people within reach and we lunched-in approved M. A. C. style at the Manila Hotel. "Bill" says this is the first get-together meeting in Manila. We've been here so long that, we have at least for­gotten any previous occasion.

Various matters were brought up for dis­cussion after lunch, among which was the proposed change in the name of M. A. C. We all seemed to think that the old name as well as the old place was good enough for us.

Hidrosollo, '09, expressed for the Filipino alumni appreciation of the hospitality of M. A. C. and the feeling of good fellowship found there for Filipinos.

It Was suggested that Myers, '07, being per­manently located in Manila, act as center for M. A. C. information and that he publish a directory of people connected with M. A. C. located in the Philippine Islands and vicinity.

Those present were:

. Mr. and Mrs. C. W. (Bill) Edwards, '09, of the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture, in charge of experiment station in Guam.

D.-.D. Wood, '11, and Zella Kimmel Wood, '11. Wood being conservator of forests for the British North Borneo company.

6 THE M. A. C. RECORD

IT]] VIEWS AND

In its attitude toward M. A. C. during the session just ended the legislature demonstrated an unusually kindly spirit which almost amounted to general interest. In having with­in its ranks Henry T. Ross, '04, W. C. San­son, '87, A. C. MacKinnon, '95, Norman B. Horton, '02, E. O. Ladd, '78, H. H. Whitely, '02, and Horatio S. Karcher, '87, the state assembly found the merits of the college so great that it could not resist responding to the needs of the institution in a manner com: mensurate with its accomplishments. Loyal supporters of M. A. C. who find a place in public life seldom fail to give their alma mater the aid it needs to keep at the head of the procession. When men of the stamp of these seven carry the colors of a college into the state capitol they are certain to come out flying. Another legislature will soon be elect­ed, the prominent alumnus in your vicinity should be in line for a trip to Lansing. M. A. C. needs good treatment and that always follows when its capabilities and achievements are made plain to the discerning law maker; this- is the mission of M. A. C. men at the capitol and they have carried out their duties in a most laudable manner.

Elmer H. Merz, '11

The death of Elmer H. Merz, w'll, is an­nounced in the May issue of the "Synchro­scope," house organ of the Detroit Edison company. Merz was a basketball player of considerable merit and a graduate of the D e ­troit Eastern high school. The published notice follows:

"The report of Elmer H. Merz's death -on March 16, after a twelve-day'attack of pneu­monia, came as a distinct shock to his many "Edison" friends.

"Mr. Merz, thirty-five years of age, a for­mer M. A. C. engineering student and basket­ball star, has the enviable record of almost fourteen years' continuous and faithful serv­ice in the underground lines department. For the last ten years he had charge of engineer­ing and field work in connection with construc­tion of conduit lines, steam mains, tunnels, street lighting, etc. His fellow-workers will remember him as a rare example of modesty

COMMENT

and confidence combined, as invariably exer­cising remarkably good judgment, considerate of others, a true friend of those whose privi­lege it: was to know him. He made work a pleasure for those who worked with him and those who worked under him.

"Mr. Merz is survived by his wife and three children."

John Walker Matthews, '85 John Walker Matthews, '85, died at his

home, 1936 Clarkdale avenue, Detroit, on May 11. For 23 years he had been connected with the faculty of Detroit Western High school, teaching chemistry and coaching some of the athletic teams representing the institution.. He was a prominent member of the Schoolmen's club and other professional organizations of the city. In 1893 he was given the degree of M. S. by the University of Michigan. He was prominent as a supporter of M. A. C. Many students who came from Detroit did so at his urging.

For a short time after completing his col­lege course he farmed. In 1889 he was com­missioner of schools for Barry county. He taught later in Grand Rapids high school, Wisconsin State Normal, again in Grand Rap­ids and then went to Detroit Western. He was born in Mishawaka, Ind., 64 years ago and is survived by five children and two grand children. The children are : Bayard, Virginia, Felix, '15, Andrew, '19, and Josephine, '22. He was a member of the Union Literary society.

Major General Harry C. Hale reviewed the cadet corps on May 7, and on May 14 a special exhibition of infantry "work in which a ma­chine gun nest at the west end of the parade grounds was captured by a platoon of dough­boys was witnessed by a crowd of more than two thousand. In the latter maneuvers the men were equipped with gas masks, helmets and packs, a smoke screen was used at the south side of the parade grounds and the booming of a one-pounder and trench mortar punctuated the rattle of musketry and the pat-pat-pat of the machine guns. It was war but an advance over an open .field would have been murder under war conditions. The strategists, however, were protected by theo­retical cover for the advancing infantrymen.

"Close Beside The Winding Cedar"

Dorothy Jermin, president of Alpha chap­ter, Omicron Nu, requests that all former members send to her at East Lansing their present addresses and occupations in order that the files may be revised correctly.

P. B. Woodworth, '86, president of Rose Polytechnic Institute at Terre Haute, Ind., partook of the benefits of an automobile wrcek some time ago. In the course of his ex­perience he sustained broken ribs and other injuries which tended to incapacitate him. He is about ready to resume business and has been released from the hospital where he was confined for several weeks.

R. W. Goss, '14, associate plant pathologist at the University of Nebraska experiment sta­tions is the author of two new bulletins. In February "Potato Disease of Nebraska" was the subject of his discussion in a 32-page booklet and in March he was credited with an 84-page bulletin entitled "Relation of En­vironment and Other Factors to Potato Wilt Caused by Fusarium Oxysporum."

Edgar Anderson, '18, who received his Ph. D. degree at Harvard in '22, was the speaker over the St. Louis Post-Ditspatch radio re­cently advising the residents of cities on how and what to plant in order to obtain the best results under the adverse conditions which surround the city garden. Anderson is assist­

ant professor of botany at Washington uni­versity, St. Louis, Mo., and geneticist at the Missouri botanical gardens in that city.

The local alumnae of the Sesame Literary society entertained the active members at the home of Mrs. Henry Publow in East Lan­sing Tuesday evening, May 8. Plans were completed for a breakfast for returning alumnae on the morning of Saturday, June 16. Numerous alumnae members of the so­ciety are expected back, including Mrs. Maude Nason Powell, '13, who has been a missionary in China for six years.

M, A. C. people who happened to be in Es-canaba during the first week in May gathered at the home of Frederick R. Harris, '12, city manager, for an impromptu reunion. Those who made up the party were: B. P. Pattison, '12, secretary-manager of the Delta County Milk Producers' association, H. E. Dennison, '11, E. G. Amos, '15, J. W. Weston, '14, A. G. Kettunen, '17, Joe Turner, '18, G. W. Put­nam, '16, all connected with the extension service of the college.

Tuesday, May 9, sets a new mark in the weather annals of the state. Ten inches of snow, the largest fall of the year, gave the campus the appearance of mid-winter in spite of the new leaves and green grass which oc­casionally showed through the white covering. A crew of freshmen spent several hours Wednesday afternoon scraping off the base­ball diamond and by Friday it was in good condition for use. Thus far the baseball team has not been forced to cancel a game because of bad weather or wet grounds.

The faculty baseball team has come through its early season without defeat. Lansing teachers presented the first victim and the senior class team fell in the second battle. Coach Walker and Dick Rauch have done most of the pitching for the instructors while Frimodig appeared in the box for one inning against the seniors. "Fat" Taylor, '15, is the mainstay behind the bat and at bat Bergquist of the zoology department and Frimodig pre­sented the most formidable form. The team is looking for more victims but Jimmie Has-selman, manager, is selecting his opponents with great care in order to keep his team's record spotless.

DEBATERS MAKE SUCCESSFUL TRIP Negative Team Wins Five Contests on Long Journey—But One Decision

Returned Against M. A. C. Trio—Visit Dr. Beal at Amherst.

A two thousand mile trip with eight con­tests scheduled over a period of nearly three weeks sent the negative debating team back to the campus with five victories and one de­feat, the other two were no-decision affairs. J. W. Milne of the English department ac­companied the team as coach. H. G. Smith, '23, St. Clair; D. V. Steere, '23, Oxford, and E. M. Chapman, '25, Cheboygan, carried the burden of winning and handled difficult oppo­sition with remarkable ease.

The journey started April 2 when Mar­quette university at Milwaukee failed to prove that "labor disputes in public utilities should be settled by compulsory arbitration." Illinois State normal at Bloomington was next on the list and a no-decision debate on the League of Nations kept the M. A. C. travelers in shape to argue that question. Purdue was a victim at Lafayette where the labor dispute problem was discussed and the team rested there over the week-end. This victory gave M. A. C. a clean sweep in the Tri-State debate for the affirmative team won a decision over Iowa State at East Lansing.

Wilberforce university at Xenia, Ohio, triumphed in the next clash of the trip, com­pulsory arbitration being the question at issue. There was a no-decision open forum debate at Blufton college, Blufton, Ohio, next on the schedule. This time the question was "Re­solved that a cabinet parliamentary form of government based on the plan of the British government should be adopted in" the United States." At Akron university the same pro­posal was defeated by the M. A. C. men.

The next week-end was spent in Washing­ton where the team was entertained by the parents of Lillian Lewton, '24. Philadelphia and New York city were visited en route to Amherst, , Mass., where the Massachusetts Agricultural college debaters were defeated on the labor arbitration issue. K. L. Butter-field, '91, president of the college, entertained the M. A. C. team at a banquet which was attended by several M. A. C. alumni con­nected with the Massachusetts college. Coach Milne and Chapman visited Dr. Beal at his home in Amherst and found him greatly in­terested in anything pertaining to M. A. C.

Boston was next on the sight seeing trip and then the arguers took up their positions

against the University of Maine at Orono, winning the last contest .of their trip after a sharp debate during which they defended the invasion of the Ruhr. This match was one of the most difficult on the trip for the de­baters were not informed concerning the part they were to take until a day before their clash. The university library was kept open all of the night before the debate and the men made good on their efforts to find material to support their arguments.

This is the first trip of such a length to be attempted by M. A. C. debaters and the re­sults represent one of the most successful de­bating seasons in the history of the college, for widely separated college were met and vanquished and a large number of questions were considered under conditions which are not always conducive to bringing out the best work of such a sort. Earl Chapman, presi­dent of the sophomore class, is the only mem­ber of the trio who will be available, another year but there.are a number of valuable men on the affirmative team this year who will be in college another season. Last year a trip into Montana gave the men a chance to dis­play their ability to the West. This year the. East paid its homage to,their prowess.

PELTON, '88, GIVES PLANTS TO COLLEGE

Dr. D. A. Pelton, M. A. C. '88, has been for a good many years a very busy physician in Forrest City, Arkansas. In spite of this, he is still interested in botany, although he has but little time for it. His interest is such that he has just presented to the herbarium of the department of botany a ' collection of plants made by him in Pomona, California, a number of years ago. This is the second collection of plants he has given given to the botanical de­partment, as there is already in the herbarium a fairly large collection of plants made by him in the old days.

"The botanical department wishes that there were more people like him who would donate their collections to this college, where they will be much appreciated," says Professor Bessey.

THE M. A. C. RECORD 9

ALUMNI AT CAPITAL HAVE NOON LUNCH

Approximately 35 representatives of the Washington M. A. C. association assembled at Harvey's restaurant on Pennsylvania avenue, April 19, for a "Rotary Club" style of mid­day luncheon. Ten minute talks were made by D. S. Bullock, '02, and Louis G. Michaels, '03, both of whom are widely known because of their agricultural investigations in foreign lands.. These were followed by a brief im­promptu address by Mrs. E. W. Ranney, '99, fresh from the college, who was in Washing­ton attending the National D. A. R. con­vention.

Bullock and Michaels are representatives of the bureau of agricultural economics of the United States department of agriculture. Mr. Bullock has recently returned from two years in Argentina, Uruguay and Chile, where he made a special study of the livestock industry. He states that cattle raising is the leading in­dustry of Argentina, but at present it is in a badly demoralized condition because of over-production without a corresponding de­velopment of a marketing outlet. "In Janu­ary, five and six-year-old cows were selling at less than $10.00 a head." Therefore, there is no use for the American breeders to look to Argentina for a market in the near future.

Mr/ Bullock spoke of the excellent systems of irrigation in Peru which are still in use and which were constructed by the ancient Incas. In Chile, the fruit industry is mak­ing considerable headway, especially the apple and grape industries. European ' varieties of grapes of excellent quality produced in that country are now commanding good prices in New York city where they arrive a whole. half-year out of season for the American product.

Mr. Michaels spoke entertainingly of Bol­shevik Russia. He said the Kerensky regime was overthrown largely as the result of prom-iss made by the Bolshevik commissars to the peasants that the land of the wealthy would be turned over to them free of charge, if they •(the Bolsheviks) should be placed in power. The plan worked happily for one year. The peasants went to work on their newly ac­quired land, produced good crops and were contented; however, at the end of the season, the commissars returned and commandeered all excess grain over the amount needed by the peasant for food and seeding.

Of course, the peasant was astonished and dismayed, but finally obeyed orders with the assurance that the grain would be exchanged

in the cities for manufactured goods which would be returned to him. Here again, he was disappointed, for as a rule, the country people are largely self supporting.

The result of these experiences is that the peasants are no longer producing more prod­ucts than enough for their own supplies and consequently there are inevitable famines. It is probable that unless free handling of grain is permitted so that private interests can make it worth while for the peasant to produce grain to exchange for something he can em­ploy for his own pleasure or profit, the amount of grain produced by each peasant will not be more than that required for his family use.

It has been reported that 150,000 tons of grain have been sold by Soviet Russia to Ger­many. After the confiscation of grain failed to give results to the government they levied a grain tax on the peasant. It was "difficult and expensive to collect this tax, but never­theless, some grain has been accumulated arid it is probable this explains the source of the exported grain to Germany.

Mrs. Ranney spoke refreshingly of doings at the college under the very able leadership of President Friday. Best of all, she said that the ground for the Union Memorial building was to be broken and construction begun in June.

President W. D. Hurd explained that the meeting was but one of its kind planned for the future. During recent years, there have been two and usually three meetings. The regular annual meeting occurs in February. A summer meeting in the form of a picnic is held some time between the last of June and the first of Sptmber, and a fall meeting, at least biennially, has been held on the occasion of the coming to Washington of the Associa­tion of Land Grant Colleges. Under the man­agement of Charley Woodbury, '03, chairman of the executive committee, it is planned to add to these meetings a springtime luncheon in April and another in the fall, probably in September. ;

The officers are making every effort to add the greatest possible amount of life to the association. It is especially desired that M. A. C. people from out of town, who expect to visit Washington, will send advance word to the secretary, Miss Edna B. McNaughton, Women's City Club, 22 Jackson Place, N. W., in order that their particular friends may be posted. It is the Washington M. A. C. spirit that every graduate here is interested in every visiting graduate, and will be glad to give them a welcome. Edna B. McNaughton, '11,

Secretary-Treasurer.

LOS ANGELES TELLS OF BIG GATHERING

DETROITERS GATHER FOR TWO EVENTS

The annual meeting of the M. A. C. asso­ciation of Southern California was held May 7 and through, the courtesy of A, H.-Voight, '81, the members met at the new University club in Los Angeles. It took the form of an excellent dinner with lots of pep, fun, and real M. A. C. spirit mixed in.

Earl Harvey, '15, president of the organi­zation, introduced Don Francisco, '14, as toastmaster and he carried the program through with his usual ability. The principal speaker of the evening was Dr. Rufus Von Kleinschmidt, president of the University of Southern California, who delivered an excel­lent talk and gave us much to think about. Mr. Roth, founder of the memory system, entertained us with practical examples of his system which we all enjoyed. ' We had en­gaged a community song leader to lead the songs, etc., but Harry Schuyler, '13, insisted on doing part of it and he succeeded in get­ting lots of noise out of the crowd. Then the famous male quartet, composed of Ed. Nies, . Paul Armstrong, Schuyler and Miners ren- . dered several numbers. The letter from the alumni secretary telling of present conditions at the college was appreciated.

At the business meeting Paul Armstrong, '15, was unanimously elected president for the coming year and Jessie A. Godfrey, '18^ was chosen secretary-treasurer. Everyone voted the meeting the best ever and all are looking forward to the next one.

Those present were: F. R. Kenney, '14, Hazel Cook Kenney, '15, Gager C. Davis, '89, Mrs. G. C. Davis, Don Francisco, '14, Mrs. Francisco, Spence Esselstyn, '13, Phena Blinn Esselstyn, '17, J. R.

Detroiters of the M. A. C. club enjoyed an evening of dancing and cards at the Twen­tieth Century club on May 4. More than 100 couples attended and Mr. and Mrs. Fred L. Woodworth, '98, were patrons. Punch was pre­pared by Petrie and Taylor, in charge of the ice cream department of the Detroit Cream­ery company. The best music available added to the pleasure of the evening.

On May 12 M. A. C. was well represented at the annual baseball luncheon of the Inter­collegiate association of Detroit when the graduates of more than a score of colleges, now living in Detroit, celebrated. The Swartz Creek band took honors in the parade from the Hotel Statler to Navin Field and amused the crowd between innings. Judge Landis, Ty Cobb, Walter Camp and Babe Ruth shared the honors of the day with the M. A. C. musicians, while the Yankees were defeat­ing the Tigers.

THE M. A. C. RECORD 11

BASEBALL TEAM WINS THREE GAMES Valparaiso, DePaul and Beloit Fall Before Walker's Squad on College

Field—Kuhn Strikes Out 15 Against Valparaiso

Valparaiso's baseball team ended its win--ning. streak when it came' up against the pitch­ing of Captain Kuhn on College Field May n and the Hoosiers took the small end of a 10 to 5 score. Kuhn was complete master of the situation and the batting of his team mates gathered enough runs to win more than one baseball game. Striking out 15 batters is no mean feat and Kuhn turned his second per­formance of the season in that line, in addi­tion to this he hit three batsmen and gave nine bases on balls but with men on the bases he had control to go with his speed and curves and avoided danger by striking out the hitters when the visitors threatened to score. This evened his score with Valparaiso for that team won from him on its home diamond after one was out in the ninth and with a four-run lead to overcome.

Brady's home run in the ninth inning con­cluded a hectic battle 7 to 6 in favor of M. A.' C. when DePaul's baseball team threat­ened to carry off the honors for the day and kept that threat alive through to the last inning. It was a see-saw affair with the visi­tors leading most of the way and it was only the heroic batting of several M. A. C. men that saved the day. Stephens registered a four-bagger with Johnson scampering home ahead of him in the eighth, knotting the score at six all. Two errors, a base on balls and a single put the home team on an equal basis with the Chicagoans in the fifth. This was

the first of two victories for Coach Walker's men on College Field for the next day, Satur­day, they vanquished Valparaiso, 10 to 5, after the Hoosiers had collected an early lead.

Beloit college was the first victim of the baseball team last week. The visiting team Was reputed to have been a winner over the University of Wisconsin but failed to give much opposition to Walker's crew. Loose fielding and savage batting by the Green and White nine turned the game into a walk away and the home team won 10 to .2. The scoring was curtailed in the third because rain threat­ened, and with a lead of five runs, M. A. C. could well afford to sacrifice an inning or so with the hope that the weather would not stop the game before a full half had been played.

Wenner was effective at all times. He struck out eleven men and held Beloit to four hits. In the field the M. A. C. men played almost flawless ball, some of the stunts bor­dering on the sensational.

COLLEGE WILL HAVE ADEQUATE HOSPITAL

By a last minute addition to the college ap­propriation bill while it was in the senate com­mittee M. A. C. will have a modern hospital for which $50,000 will be expended and a total of $100,000 for the miscellaneous build­ing program representing an increase of $100,000 in the bill as originally passed by the house.

In effecting this change in the measure M. A. C. will have the following funds for use . during the next two years, besides the $160,000 loan for the stadium:

Horticultural building $400,000 Extension .:•.'. 300,000 Power house 150,000 Hospital — 50,000 Research 70,000 Miscellaneous buildings ...... 100,000

Total $1,070,000 This is also in excess of the sum coming to

the college from the mill tax and which will be used entirely for the operating expenses of the institution. This will be in the neighbor­hood of $1,000,000 and may be above that if the assessed valuation of property in the state is placed high enough.

In a general way the college benefitted greatly through the approval of this measure and with the new library and home economics building it will be well enough equipped to care for an anticipated increase in the enroll­ment. A hospital to care for student cases has long been needed. During the past few years since the former hospital was occupied. by the Y. M. C. A. the only equipment of this kind has been the four cottages at the rear of the bacteriology building. Secretary Halla-day was instrumental in having this appropria­tion placed in the budget. His responsibility extended last winter to providing proper care for a large number of sick students when near-epidemics were prevalent and he saw the need of better facilities for the health depart­ment. The sum appropriated for this purpose will allow for the installation of an efficiently equipped organization in a building large enough to meet the demand.

IRELAND REWARDED FOR WAR SERVICE

Ireland, '01, who has been stationed at Ann Arbor doing graduate work in highway engineering at the University of Michigan, was presented with a Distinguished Service medal at the review of the University R. 0 .

Have You Paid

Your Debt to

M. A. C? You know your education cost the state

twice as much as it cost you.

As a business or professional man or ordinary citizen this must make it clear in your mind that you are under a moral ob­ligation to make a return on this investment.

HERE IS ONE WAY Do your share to help build the UNION MEMORIAL building.

It will be an imposing structure of great utility.

It will be an attraction to desirable students.

It will serve students, faculty and visitors and, to consider it from

a selfish viewpoint, it will provide you with a campus home, a place to

meet your friends, a clubhouse where you will be always welcome and

where you can enjoy true M. A. C. hospitality.
