T he lecture course of last winter cost eighty dollars more than the re ceipts from tickets. In some way this debt must be met. T he E n g lish department has come to the res cue with an entertainment on which much time and work has been ex pended, and which we are sure will be thoroughly enjoyed. It will take place on Friday night. Admission fee 25 cts. T he entertainment will include excellent music, fine recita tive work from Shakespeare, Dick ens, etc., and the exceedingly funny and popular farce called in German, ist "Gott der Tisch gedeckt," and in English, " T he Obstinate Family." We earnestly hope that a feeling of duty with re gard to the purpose to be served, and the pleasure to be received from the entertainment will bring out all the College community and many from Lansing.

Unfortunately for during studying plant life in the open air, the students have not one-half as much botany as during the winter term. the very best weeks in the topics; Here are a few of the topics which juniors: occupy agricultural natural Evolution; Darwinism; light selection and kindred relations as shown the green house in early A p r i l; plant dispersal; how plants are protected from ani mals, cold, heat, water, etc.; a study in oak woods in A p r i l; the relations to agriculture; of botany define terms, such as agricul about forty ture, botany, agrostology, arbore tum, bacteriology, biology, bryol- °gy> cyt o' ° g y) dichogamy, embry ology ; a visit to beech and maple woods; the struggle for existence in certain spots on the lawn, under trees, in the arboretum ; the examination of grasses, clovers, and the like near the close of the term; three lessons in pollination; examine for critically certain defined spots on the campus to discover all the species possible; carnivorous plants; plant societies in several places; a study of the climbing plants. As one of the students remarked, " We need outdoor experience. Those who the class-room tire of botany receive a new stimulus and interest. It serves as a first-class supplement It gives us a to the indoor work. broader appreciation of the subject." Unfortunately for studying growing plants in the open air during the college year there are only about six weeks available. each in In another class this term, these juniors are studying trees and shrubs for half a term, making free use of the flora of the campus and botanic garden. Another half-term is de voted to landscape gardening, again making free use of our campus. W h at could we do without this great laboratory? F or winter we open need an ample, well-selected botan ical and agricultural museum, even better than the one destroyed by fire eleven years ago. w. j. B. T he Reception to the Grand River Boat-Club. Last winter the Grand River Boat-Club of Lansing entertained the teaching force of the College at an evening reception and card party. We all enjoyed the occasion to such that we felt that words a degree express our were inadequate to it taken to appreciation of the Club's charming hospitality. So it was decided to appoint a committee to devise ways and means for expressing in a more substantial manner. This com mittee consisted of Messrs. T o w a r, Waterman, and Diemer, and Miss Crowe. Later, when Miss Crowe ill, Miss Lyford was was take her place. This selected reported to the general committee teachers' meeting, and were re quested to carry out the plans they had suggested. Last Friday, May 24, was decided upon as the most convenient date. T he invitations issued and met with a most were response, over 160 accept hearty ances being received. held the guests, and explain to them. From five T he guests began to arrive about three o'clock in the afternoon. A number of students kindly consented to act as guides, and took the visitors around the campus. T he instruct ors of the various departments were in their respective buildings to re the ceive to six work Major Vernou a battalion dress-parade, after which the guests were the Women's at Building by members of the depart ment. T he main hall on the first floor was made attractive by rugs, cozy-corners, palms, potted plants, cut flowers, and festoons of smilax and other greens. In the parlors on the second floor the hosts and hostes ses entertained their guests until sup per was served. T he tables were decorated with cut-flowers, and cov es were laid for 260. received repast, excellent After full justice had been done the Professor T o w ar called upon Mr. K i ng for a reading, which was thoroughly ap preciated. Then Dr. Kedzie was asked to express our welcome, which he did in a few well-chosen words. Mr. Eaton responded on behalf of the boat-club. T he company then adjourned to the armory which was decorated for the occasion with bunting, flags, flowers. T h e re were palms, and card tables for those who cared to play, and music by Bristol for those who would rather dance. Lemonade was served during the evening. All the arrangements were car ried out most successfully and reflect great credit upon the committee, and all who assisted them. v. B. M r s. H a n er arranged, for the in spection of the Lansing Boat Club visitors, an art exhibit in the sewing- rooms. T he Sophomore and Junior samplers were displayed their cases on the walls, the garments on screens, and the drafting system by a pattern on the black-board. T he art needle work and millinerj' dec orated other screens. in them A new case has been added in which are to be found all the at tachments and tools used in connec tion with the modern sewing ma chine. H e re they are open to view and by seeing the students may better learn what they are and how to care for them. Each piece plays an important part in the seam stress's work of today. T he elabor ate tucking, hemming, cording, ruf fling, and hemstitching are quickly and uniformly done by means of their respective attachments. to have Mrs. Haner the aims girls understand these implements so thoroughly, that they may be com plete masters in the use of the ma chine, making domestic art of a high standard. c. D. Declamatory Contest. On Saturday evening, May 11, 1901, the literary program of the Hesperian Society consisted of a declamatory contest, freshman mem bers of the society being the contest ants. T he contest was by far the most satisfactory of any of the kind ever given in the history of the society. Each participant did himself as well as the society honor and credit, and in a manner to, greatly encourage the older members of the society. T wo prizes were offered. M r. Dodge was awarded first prize, a society pin; and Mr. Tabor received second honors, a entitled "Author's Readings." G. C. H. book, It Came at Last.

Ye scribe has attended county teachers' associations before now, where the superintendent, lo cal teachers, and pupils had not for a moment risen to the fact that they were in any manner the hosts of the occasion, where not an effort was made to extend the glad hand to vis iting members of the association. 'Tis a joy and comfort to find red in the corpuscles predominating blood, to find people with executive ability and a will to use it. Not only did Supt. Jewell and his teach ers make a happier meeting for the visitors, but by interesting the larger pupils put many of them in the way of acquiring a proper spirit toward the profession which some of them in years to will doubtless follow teachers come.

Last Wednesday evening Prof. W. B. Barrows gave a talk before the Natural History Society on " M a m m o t hs and Mastodons." T he talk was suggested by the fact that teeth and pieces of bones of a mam moth were found near Grand Ledge a few days ago. T he mammoth and mastodon are both species of elephants closely related to our ele phants of the present day and prac tusks tically the same size but with larger in proportion. Geo much logically is much the mammoth more recent than the mastodon. We know nothing as to whether the mastodon had hair or not but the mammoth had under which was a coat of thick wool. T he teeth of the mammoth are in ridges the same as the molars of a horse and have no roots, while those of the mastodon are raised into im mense tubercles and have spreading roots. These "constitute the prin cipal differencies between these t wo prehistoric animals. Remains of the mastodon are found very much more commonly in Michigan than those of the mammoth. long hair H o n. L. Whitney Watkins then gave a few well chosen and very interesting remarks on the value of nature study and its relation to our every day life. He also told of some very interesting observations.
