is  selected  by  a 
number  of  engineering  students  each  year. 
In  the  newly  created  engineering  experi

important  part. 
In  a  minor  way,  research 
in  sanitary  aspects  of  engineering  has  been 
conducted  for  a  number  of  years.  Several 
department 
years  ago  a  member  of

that  66  per  cent  of

Another  phase  of  engineering 

in  which 
bacteriology  plays  an  important  part  is  the 
disposal  of  sewage.  Michigan,  because  of 
its  position  as  a  summer  resort  center,  is

industrial  plants  that  are  dumping  untreat

of  Michigan  are  now  nothing  more 
than 
open  sewers,  devoid  of  fish 
life  and  dan 
gerous  because  of  the  disease  bacteria  that 
are  introduced  in  the  raw  sewage.  All  of 
the  cities  and  industrial  plants  that  are  of

"The Song of the Shirt 

W l TH  FINGERS weary  and  worn, 

"O men  with  sisters  dear 

With  eyelids  heavy  and  red, 
A woman  sat, in  unwomanly  rags, 
Plying  her  needle  and  thread. 

Stitch—stitch—stitch! 

In  poverty,  hunger,  and  dirt; 

And still with a voice of dolorous pitch 
She sang  the  Song  of  the  Shirt. 

O  men  with  mothers  and  wives! 
It  is not  linen  you're  wearing  out. 
But  human  creatures'  lives! 

Stitch—stitch—stitch! 

In  poverty,  hunger,  and  d i r t-
Sewing at once, with a double thread 
A  shroud  as well  as  a  shirt!"
