The Improve Summer Courses A GREAT many Michigan State col- •*Mege alumni are botanists, zoologists, or entomologists, to some extent at least. And a lot of them go to summer school. Therefore, authorities at State antici pate a large alumni group for the new practical field course in these subjects, being offered at the Kellogg wild-life sanctuary near Augusta, which is part of the College holdings. The course will be a nine weeks' schedule, including three weeks' field work in each of the three sciences of fered, and will be held under the direc tion of instructors from the College, giving nine credits. Students will be taken to the sanctuary from the Col lege at 3 p. m. June 23, in college- furnished buses, and will return at the end of the nine weeks. This course, which the greatest innovation in the 1930 summer school curriculum, will probably be come an annual thing, is perhaps Summer school registration will take place this year on June 24, and regular courses, as usual, will continue for six weeks. this, modern language courses will be continued for three additional weeks, offering twelve credits.

It is common knowledge t h at the number of motor vehicle accidents and fatalities even in pro portion to cars driven is increasing yearly. This fact, more t h an anything else, has brought home to every responsible motorist the Need of Automo bile Insurance. This fact, more t h an any other, accounts for an almost annual upward revision of rates Constant changes of conditions in the Automo bile Insurance business made evident to t he 1929 Michigan Legislature t h at certain legislation was necessary to protect the public. This Company anticipated four years in advance of legislative action the need for applying these safeguards. Any changes in rates, therefore, will continue to reflect only actual loss experience. Increases in rates will never be used for the purpose of accu mulating reserves or surplus beyond the margin of absolute safety. As long as the need of Automobile Insurance continues, this Company will exist to fill t h at need with a service increasingly good—paying profits to its policyholders in the form of the lowest possible rates consistent with the kind of adjustments to which they are entitled.
