The Union Memorial Building Will Be Open on June 20 The rest of the program is in the making.

It will give you an unparalleled opportunity to see the Campus at its best, the trees, the flowers, the shrubs, the lawns are never better than in June, it will give you a chance to see something of the physical growth of the College over the past few years. A change in the name of the College has not affected its physical attri butes nor has it affected the love of alumni for their alma mater. It will make Michigan State College an instrument of better service to the state and of greater benefit to its alumni. Come Back to the Campus on June 20 SEE THE COLLEGE its new president, its new buildings, the old familiar walks, trees, and the never chang ing Red Cedar.
