The new location for in —just across the new concrete bridge the field which has been set aside for the use of the athletic department—proved at tractive to a much larger number of people than had hitherto attended such an event and the class was not prepared for all of its guests. To make the evening more enjoyable for those who came to hear as well as to eat the College amplifiers were erected over the speakers' platform. The Swartz Creek band, the varsity quartette, the presidents of the sophomore and freshman classes and Mayor Doughty of Lansing gave the main features of the program.

Record VIEWS AND COMMENT Alumni and former students of the Col lege have undertaken a great project. Afore than five years ago they decided to erect on the Campus a building which would be a memorial to the war dead of M, A. C, a home for the alumni, and a center for stu dent activities which had hitherto been without a gathering point or facilities to carry on their work. An effort has been and is being made to supply these marked needs of the College but the time has not vet arrived when there can be any relaxa tion of effort, in fact it will not arrive for a long period, or until the entire finances for the project are assured. but been There has been an effort this medium, except by the to organize class sentiment and foster class pride so that the work may lie speeded.

In addition it was In retrospect the 1924 eleven displays one prominent, outstanding characteristic: Its gains were made by team play, not by the work of an individual. This may hard ly be applied to the South Dakota game which found Xeller at his best, and he ac counted for the score which would have won the game had not the visitors elected to fumble a punt which Kipke downed on their 15-yard line, but in all other cases the story was one of team-play, dependence on- a more than ordinarily good line and an together. average set of back who worked the (keen and White.

Its major draw back was having the Michigan game third on the schedule with the dedication of the stadium as the big event of the year. For '25, Lansing, Elton Xeller, finished his college football career with a remark able exhibition against South Dakota State.

VIEW AT OLD ENTRANCE WHICH HAS UNDERGONE CHANGE. With the closing of the old entrance to the Campus the view above has gone. It shows the group of evergreen trees near which was the old stopping place for street cars in front of the old alumni office. The sidewalk still remains but is disconnected on the Grand River avenue end where the new pavement begins and is crossed by the new loop for the street cars which has just been completed and put into use. Up to last week the old large loop was in use but that has been removed to permit the construction of the new formal entrance. On the right of the picture is the Arboretum, which has been somewhat shortened on the north side by the construction of the new pavement south of the double row of elm trees but the plantation did not suffer much because of this change and but few of the old trees, plant ed by Dr. Beal nearly fifty years ago, were removed by the workmen to make way for the highway. In this connection it is interesting to note that the great white oak just east of the weather bureau building is one of the original forest trees left on the Campus, and is prob ably the only one.
