THE U. OF M. GAME. M. A. C. and U. of M. met on the diamond Friday afternoon for the first time in several years. As expected, U. of M. w o n, though the score does not indicate all that can be said regarding the game. M. A. C. made nearly as many hits as the university showing that the weakness of the team is not chiefly in batting. Millar and Case were fairly effective, though Case was somewhat wild at times. Poor base errors at running coupled with critical stages of the game tell in a large measure, the story of M. A. C's defeat. U. O F. M.

On the left is Miss Mattie V an Orden of Petoskey, Mich., a sopho more student in the woman's course, and a member of the Feronian Lit erary Society. In the center is M r. E. I. Dail, of Holt, Mich., a senior in the agricultural course and a member of the M. A. C. Debating Club. On the right is M r. W. F. Millar, of R ay Center, Mich., a sophomore in the mechanical course, member of the Columbian Literary Society, and of the M. A. C. Debat ing Club. This debating team has been chosen by competition to de bate with a team from the State Normal College on next Friday evening, April 23, at eight o'clock. T he question is ,l Resolved, that it should be the policy of our govern ment to hold the Philippines as a permanent part of the territory of the United States." O ur team will defend the negative. T he debate will be held at 8 p. m., in the A r m o r y. Admission, 25 cents. W i th the completion of the n ew bridge, the field of thirteen acres purchased by the College t wo years ago has been made available for athletic use. T he field is directly south of the extreme west end of the campus and across the R ed river. On the north and Cedar east, the field is bounded by the river making the location picturesque as well as secluded. T he ground rises at a height of from six to eight feet above low water and to prevent flooding in the spring dikes will doubtless be built later, on the sides bounded by the river. During the past week the field has been scraped and rolled, a base ball diamond laid out and a quarter mile circular track begun besides a hundred and twenty yards one straight away com prises part of the circular track on the north side of the field. Clay will be p ut upon the diamond in track, which sufficient quantities to make it fast and the outfield will be seeded down. T he football field will run east and west, the east end covering the dia mond, and the west the outfield. Later, a grand stand will be built probably at the northeast corner of the field at a convenient distance from the bridge and outside of the circular track which encloses both the baseball diamond and the foot ball field. T he n ew bridge which is no small feature of the new field is located about one hundred yards from where the river drive leaves the main drive. T he bridge is four teen feet wide and eighty-five feet over all, the superstructure resting fifteen on six bents of piles sunk feet below the river bottom. Its location affords convenient access from all parts of t he campus and when the grading is completed to the river drive the approach to the field will be exceedingly good. T he cost of its structure was $525. ALUMNI. '6S. S. M. Tracy, collector of duplicate specimens for botanists has recently shipped to the College from Mississippi a collection of Gulf Coast plants.

T h at such a series of entertain ments shall be a success depends upon ( 1) T he community must be in a receptive mood, and ( 2) it must get something for its money. these two conditions we may say that the lecture course has given to the ma the college people, what jority of they wanted, and offered the minority what they needed. J u d g i ng from to To this minority a few points might be mentioned that would work for the better success of the Club another season. ( 1) T h at the venture is not a money making the scheme. This is evident from fact that the Club is again unable to meet all expenses and must carry over a small debt to the next season. ( 2) No one to donate. is asked Something is really given you for your money. ' W i th these points in mind it would hardly seem that any one with a proper idea of a college education, would allow a dollar to stand in the way of coming in touch with the great thinkers of the coun- try. We hope that every one will have in making next season's a hand course a success. BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE. T he Toledo Blade for April 14 has the following sketch of Mrs. Sarah L. Williams, wife of the first president of M. A. C: Mrs. Sarah R. L. Williams, one of the pioneers of Toledo, died Sat urday afternoon at 4 o'clock at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. R e becca W.

H o w a rd one of the founders of the Republican party in Michigan, and was the president of the state senate at the time of his death, just the outbreak of after in 1861. After the death of Mr. Wil liams his widow returned to Toledo and was herself prominently identi fied with public affairs in this city up to within a few years ago. F or a number of years she was one of the the proprietors and editors of Sunday the she was* founder and for a great many years the editor of The Ballot Box, a pa per devoted to the cause of women's suffrage, which is stjll being pub lished in Rochester, and is the official organ of the cause which it repre sents. An intimate friend of Eliza beth Cady Stanton and Susan B. A n t h o n y, she was one of the incor porators of Toledo W o m a n 's Suf frage association, and for a great its president; she many years was was also one of the founders of the N ew Century club more than 25 years ago, and was one of the origi nal trustees of the Toledo University of Arts and Trades under bequest of Jessup W.

She volunteered herself as a nurse and went to take care of the wounded. During her entire life she was ever ready to devote her wonderful energy to the cause of humanity oppressed, in whatever guise it appealed to her sympathy.

T he Executive of the Inter-Col legiate Live Stock Association met at the College on the afternoon of Friday, April 18th. All the officers were present, viz., G. E. Day of Ontario, W. L. Carlyle of Wiscon sin, J. H. Skinner of Illinois, and J. J. Ferguson, Michigan. colleges certain very In view of the very strong senti ment growing out of the two stu dent judging contests which have been held at Chicago, the committee had a very serious problem to face. there had F r om come opposition towards the holding of another con test. T wo colleges which competed last year declined to again enter. T he association was primarily de signed to serve as a bond of union between the different institutions of the country. T he rivalry resulting than has proved slightly stronger decided was anticipated so that after very the committee careful deliberation decided towards best looking that interests of the different colleges, it would be well to omit all competi the working of tive features from the association. In It was decided that henceforth the object should be to encourage the making of educational exhibits the by colleges and stations and holding of conferences at which men eminent in animal husb andry lines would be asked to give their experi ence with that special department of the work which they had mastered. that it great good will sesult not only to instructors but to the student body as well. At many of the institutions the judging contest has been made the goal instead of being merely in cidental. Students were thus lead to see only the spectacular side of the work losing sight almost entirely of its educational and commercial value. is thought this way In view of the initial conference of the association to be held at Chi cago in December a provisional pro the gram was drawn up carrying leading names of several of animal husbandry experts of the country. the T he visiting members of the com mittee were very warm in their ex they pression of approval of what were able to see of the different departments of our institution and especially of her for work along agricultural lines. equipment Signed, J.

T h e m e, read, M a t t h ew " O ne is your master even Christ." Miss Sims gave a very interesting talk on the above theme, showing that to serve Jesus means much: first we must love him supremely— he must be the idol of our affection; then it will be an easy matter to do his good pleasure. We cannot serve two masters, for "either we will love the one and hate the other, or else we will hold to the one and despise the other." Only the life hid with Christ in God can serve Jesus in spirit and in truth. T he program of the Horticultural Club Wednesday night consisted of a talk by President F. W. Owen on some special work with spraying substances. Mr. O w en said that the value of a spraying snbstance depended large ly upon its physical structure. Also upon the amount of free Arsenious Acid and the time it would remain in suspension. He stated that by means of his work he had arrived at the conclu sion that spraying substances with particles of much smaller dimensions would favor.

C. enter tainment club for the season of 1 9 0 1- 02 was a lecture given Friday even ing by Prof. Colton ©f the U. of M. on " T he Moon in Fact and F a n c y ." Prof. Colton's lecture, which was very interesting and instructive, was illustrated by one hundred stereopti- con views; almost entirely views taken by himself, with the aid of the largest telescope in the wojld, that in Lick's Observatory, with which institution Prof. Colton was con nected for several years. As an introduction to the lecture, a number of more or less erroneous ideas and myths concerning the moon were dealt with. T he exist ence of the the so-called "man moon" was explained, also the idea relating to the effect of the moon on the rainfall, upon which the nursery rhyme of "Jack and J i l l" had its foundation. in low T he composition of the moon is is not known, but the supposition the that it is quite similar to that of life earth. As for the existence of on the moon, three reasons w e re given w h y, in all probability, there is none. First, tempera the ture—two hundred degrees below zero—would make life impossible; second, there is no atmosphere sur the moon as there is the rounding earth; and third, the moon cooled so rapidly the existence of any animal life has never been possible. T he moon has no warmth of its own and what heat rays fall upon its surface during the two weeks in which the sun shines on one side of it, are reflected back into space, be cause there is no atmosphere to .act as a trap to hold it. that In the views, objects which were five hundred feet across were large enough to be perceptible.
