In his first formal appearance before the students President Butterfield was greeted by an overflow crowd in the gymnasium on Wednesday, September 24 at the regu lar convocation hour. He was introduced by Dean Shaw and was given a markedly warm reception by the students and faculty. He spoke on the history of the College, its significance in relation to the present and the possibilities which the future holds. to the value of in numbers with He drew attention the the growth College has made since his days on the Campus and compared the student body of that day, the present Impressing the students faculty and staff. with the pioneer days he brought out that the spirit which actuated men in those times should still be the rul ing force in the lives of those connected with it should be applied the College but that in a different m a n n e r; instead of clearing the Campus the present out stumps from standard bearers could do their share in bringing about a better world.

There is nothing dead or decayed about the College. It is tremendously alive and energetic and full of promise." In his consideration of the prospects for to the future Dr. Butterfield found much Branch associations are urged to prepare lists of addresses of those present at meet ings so that this information may be used in the alumni office.

A conservatiye estimate of the number of automobiles expected to be here that day has been placed at 3.000. Coach Young requests that alumni coming in for the game make a special effort their cars parked at least one hour before game time, which is scheduled for 3 :oo o'clock Eastern Standard Time. to haye Michigan State police will direct traffic all day at the college. Their plan for park ing is as follows: All cars will be parked on the Drill Feld north of the Gymnasium filled. until that space has been completely No exit lanes will be provided in this space, as cars can be run to the roads from any position on the field, as the road com field.

NEW LIBRARY AWAITS FINAL EQUIPMENT is not library the new Although equipment to meet all and materials ready to for complete occupancy or for service are students, steadily coming it should not be in and long before Mrs. Landon and her staff will be able the requirements of the college. The main cause for the delay is that the furniture for the main reading rooms has not arrived . W h en this comes all will be in readiness for the formal open ing of the new building. W h en entirely equipped as planned, the new library will be most modern in every respect. Occupying a commanding and easily ac cessible position on the campus, it should be the center of interest to students during school hours. The reference shelves are separate from the study and reading rooms, so that when functioning the building will for a college represent layout ideal the library. On the first floor are the offices of the library force in addition to lobbies reading for visiting purposes. The main room is located on the second floor. This room is about 45 by 90 feet in size, with a light. high ceiling and an abundance of Tapestries the recently obtained walls, making this room a very attractive place in which to work. adorn to Connecting this main room are the reference shelves, etc., although none of the latter are visible from the room itself. On this the there are also offices floor library force. for To aid in the work of conducting prop erly the affairs of this building, Mrs. Lan don now has seven assistants as well as a typist. In this way the positions of cata- loger, binder, etc. are all held separately, insuring prompt and satisfactory service, Page 40 The M. A. C. Record VIEWS AND COMMENT There is but little in the minds of the today except average student or alumnus the important question of prospects for the Michigan game. There are those, perhaps, whose thoughts never turn in the direction of this all important contest but they are outvoted by an overwhelming majority. Those privileged to watch the teams trot out onto the field in the new stadium on the afternoon of October 11 will have back of them envious hundreds who find it im possible to attend. It is a national char acteristic that fall days bring talk of foot ball, more general among college people than others, perhaps, but not markedly so and it is a healthy subject for discussion. A spirit of high class sportsmanship rules the contests on the gridiron. As great concrete structures to accommo date the crowds are being built year after year increasing in size bevond all dreams of a few years ago there has arisen a storm of criticism directed at the commercializa tion of college sports. The critic points to this interest in football as a menace, even sees to the peace of the country. But such critics are too often the onlookers who have no idea of the principles involved. As long as it the follows tenets of fair competition college football will be an asset to the nation. in the gatherings a menace the game and the rules of is lacking the contest As an asset it has many benefits. He who attends a game and fails to feel the thrill of in some vital element. He who cannot visualize the value of such training to the youth of the country has not investigated the game thoroughly. As a public spectacle it trains men in the qualities of leadership, teaches them to get the most from themselves phy their efforts sically and mentally so that may be a credit to their teams. Also, as a public spectacle revenue fro.11 the general public which enables many col leges to carry out phases of physical edu cation which would be impossible under the ordinary revenues derived for such pur- is derived than poses. In many colleges football supports the athletic three-quarters of more program which brings into competition the largest part of the student group. it is Football may be indicted for too much specialization, too much attention to a few men, but that is not the case at M. A. C. It may be indicted for a program out of balance with its importance, but when it supports the general athletic program of an institution It cannot be justified. justifiably accused of teaching anything, but good sportsmanship, clean living, and concentration of effort, all lessons as im in portant as any which can be taught the classroom. It means the expenditure of it requires just a little tremendous effort, more than the best from every player. It helps to cement relations between the two greatest institutions of the state. It holds at a high point a healthy spirit of competi tion and focusses alumni attention on the College to an extent not reached by any other activity, Football reigns but a few weeks each year but its period of ascend ancy is important to all concerned. May it long retain its prominence and continue its beneficent influence. The question of a suitable goal of en deavor for branch associations is occupv- ing the attention of leaders among alumni groups but it is one which must be settled by each organization to its own satisfaction. The alumni office cannot evaluate the pos sibilities of any certain group and set for it the mark it should strive to attain, this can be done only by the organization it self. There is a great variety of fields in the branch association can apply which itself. They range all the way from finan cial programs to those of purely organiza tion work for its sake but in any case the type of work as well as the amount to be accomplished must be determined by the local organization.

The alumni publication is the only mag azine today that offers advertising space alongside personal news notes. These notes are all about personal friends of the readers. So—every page is preferred position. Forty-four alumni publications have a combined circulation of 160,000 college trained men. Advertising space may be bought individually or collectively—in any way desired. Two page sizes—only two plates necessary — group advertising rates.
