INAUGURAL  CEREMONIES  for  President  David 
Friday  will  be  held  in  connection  with  com 
mencement  exercises  next  June,  according  to 
preliminary  plans  of  the commencement  com 
mittee  of  the faculty.  A  college  reception  for 
Prsident  Friday  and Secretary  H. H.  Halladay 
the  day  before  commencement,  and  a  joint 
program  on  commencement  day itself  are  in 
cluded  in  the  plans.  The commencement  ad 
dress  will  be  delivered  by  President  Friday 
himself,  with  suitable 
ceremonies 
added. 
Jason  Woodman,  senior  member  of 
the  State  Board  of  Agriculture,  and others are 
expected  to  take  part  in the  program.

M I SS  EUDORA  SAVAGE,  Dean  of  Women  at 
M.  A. C. since  September  1919, has announced 
her  resignation  to  take  effect  at  the  end of 
the  college  year.  ,  While  Dean  Savage  has 
made  no  definite  announcement  of  her  plans 
for  next  year,  it  is  understood  that  she  will 
re-enter  the  field  of  N o r m a l'  College  work, 
in  which  she was engaged  for  several  years 
before  coming  to M. A.  C.  Miss  Savage has 
done  a  great  deal  of  research  work  along ad 
vanced  educational 
lines,  and  she  expects  to 
take  up  specialized  work  in  this  field. 

AGRICULTURAL  LECTURES  by  radiophone  are. 
the 
latest  educational  feature  of  the  college 
extension  service.  Through  arrangement  with 
the  Detroit  News,  different  agricultural  spe 
cialists  from  the  college  go  to  Detroit  each 
Saturday  and deliver  fifteen  minute  talks  into 
the  News  distributing-  station.  These  messages 
are  received  over  the  entire  country  and  are 
proving  an  effective  and unique  method  of ex 
tension  work. 

SOPHOMORES  WON  tfre  inter-class  track  meet 
held  on college  field  last  Saturday,  running up 
a 
total  of  58  points  as  against  29  for the 
Juniors,, their  nearest  competitors.  Very  good 
time  'was  recorded  in several  of  the  events, in 
spite  of  the  fact  -that  varsity  men were  not 
permitted  to  compete. 

ANOTHER  NAME  has  been  added  to  the  list 
of  M. A.  C. dairy  department  cows  that  have 
broken  records  for  milk  production.  Pauline 
Mutual  Margolyn,  a  cow bred  and  raised  at 
the  college,  has  just  broken  the  state  record 
for  seven  days'  production  of  milk,  for  senior 
three  year  old  Holsteins. 

T HE  SOPHOMORE  PROM  will  be  held  in  the 
gymnasium  on  Saturday  evening,  May  6. F or 
the  first  time  in the history  of  the  sophomore 
class  parties  at M. A. C. the affair  this  year  is 
to  assume  proportions  comparable  with  the 
Junior  H o p.  Special  decorations,  a  ten-piece 
orchestra,  and other  "trimmings"  will  be  pro 
vided  to  make  the  dance  a  real  event  on  the 
year's  social  program.

AGRICULTURIST,  monthly 
magazine  published  by  students  of  the  agri 
cultural  division,  was  recently  granted  mem 
bership  in  the American  Association  of  Agri 
cultural  College  Magazines.  Gaining  admis 
sion  to the national  association  during  its  first 
year  of  publication  is  regarded  as  a  distinct 
achievement  for  the  Agriculturist  and an in 
dication  of  its  rapid  rise  to  national  standards 
and  recognition.

who  examined  the  M.  A.  C.  artillery 
forces 
early  in  April  has placed  the unit  first  among 
similar  college  military  forces  in  the  country, 
as  far as detailed  work  is concerned.  Lack of 
sufficient  men  in  advanced  elective  courses re 
sulted  in  an  official  ranking  which  placed the 
M.  A.  C.  unit  fifth,  although  the  inspectors 
remarked  that  "the detailed  work  of  the  unit 
was  surpassed  by but one other,  if  any."

undergone  a  complete  change  of  personnel  in

C.  A.  Washburn  '17, and  Hank  and  Frank's 
barber  shop,  known  to  generations  of  M. A. 
C.  men, have  taken  quarters  in the same  room 
in  the new business  block  near  the  corner  of 
M.  A.  C.  Avenue  and Grand  River.  A  shop 
carrying  a  complete  line  of  ladies'  furnishings 
has  been  opened  in  the  same  building,  while-
the  Wildwood  Tea  Room  is  doing  business 
in  quarters  on  the  second  floor  of  the  new

The  Drake  victory  gives  the  M.  A.  C.  star 
real  national  prestige,  and  ranks  him  among 
the  leading  track  men  of  the  country.  Ernst 
has  been  conceded  to  be  one  of  the  best  men 
in  the.state  for  the  last  two  years,  but  Satur 
day's  performance  has  been  his  first  real  bid 
for  national  honors.  A  third  in  the  Western

Baseball  Team  Breaks  Even 
On  First  Trip 
Winning  from  Kalamazoo  College  and  Ar 
mour  Institute  and  dropping  games  to  Notre 
Dame  and  Wabash,  the  varsity  baseball  team 
broke  even  on  its  trip  last  week. 

Heavy  hitting  accounted  for  an  8  to  4  vic 
tory  over  Kalamazoo  in  the  opening  game  of 
the  trip.  Hits,  combined  with  two  bases  on 
inning 
balls,  brought  in  six  runs  in  the  third 
and  put  the  game  on  ice.  Bub  Kuhn  worked 
in  the  box  for  M.  A.  C, 
in  a  well 
pitched  game.

The  best  game  of  the  series  from  the  point 
of  view  of  good  baseball  found  the  varsity  on 
the  short  end  of  a  3-2  score  with  Wabash. 
Good  pitching  and  fast  defensive  play  kept  the 
score  down  on  both  sides.  Ross  pitched  for 
M.  A . . C,  letting  the  Little  Giants  down  with 
seven  hits,  but  his  mates  were  unable  to  ac

I  found  that  I  had  acquired  a  couple  of  lungs

about  seventeen  years  (actually  eight  months) 
in  bed  I  came  out  here.

is  about  as  much  of  a  fighter  as  one  of  those
