G A large amount of building is being done this summer in the im mediate vicinity of the College and information of R E C O RD for readers an estimate in some detail is given below. the In the Brook's addition to the College Delta, M r. Parnel Baker is erecting a house on the lot immedi ately north of M r. Champe's. M r. E. R. Blair, foreman of the College farm, has just completed a house in Dr. Beal's addition and M r. R. erecting one. In Guernsey is laboratory, will erect structor H u m p h r ey and M r. A n drew Krentel, College carpenter, are both building houses on the delta. Across the road and oppo site a residence is being constructed Secretary for M r. S. A. Robinson. Bird's and Professor Holdsworth's new residences have been mentioned in previous issues. Besides these additions to Oak wood, M r. C. Schaffer, contractor for the bacterio logical this summer a house and barn. Passing east along the North Lansing road, the farm house of Mr. C. M. Chit tenden is undergoing extensive re pairs. East of the College orchard Mr. Hedrick is to build a house for his own permanent home. T he residences of M r. H. B. A n g el on the property east of the Women's Building and Howard Terrace had a brief mention in T HE R E C O RD at the time their erection was com menced. It will be seen that a total of ten houses (excluding the three already built) are, or soon will be, in process of construction, a$ taken together forming a semicircle about the Col lege campus on the west, north, and east. T he value of these new resi dences, in round numbers will be over $30,000 which fact ought to prove to some extent the desirability and demand for property near the College grounds. Besides the new residences mentioned others are to be built this summer.' COLLECTORS' FIELD MAR W i th the inauguration of the ex periment work in the destruction of mosquitoes, a hasty topographical map was made showing the location of pools, ditches, woods, etc., the whole including an area having a radius of about one mile with the College as the center. Since the first work was begun, it has been thought advisable to make the map large enough for gen eral use in collecting, consequently as now laid out the map represents an area extending five miles east and west and three miles north and south, the College campus as before being in the center. As now planned it is the aim to show the general features location of certain of the country, species of plant life, the haunts of small animals as the mole, field mouse, etc., insects, and, in short, everything that will prove of value and be a labor saver for the collector of specimens in botany, forestry, en tomology, biology, geology, and any other sciences with which the courses of the College have to do. T he details of country immedi ately about the campus are fairly well indicated at the present time, but in order to make the map of greatest value, details of outlying In order districts should be added. that this may be done, it is impera tive that each one having knowl edge of details of region contribute his part toward the filling out of the such map, no matter h ow slight knowledge may be. At the present time Prof. Pettit has been most active and enthusiastic in the gather ing of data and, until further notice, material may be given to him. W h en the map reaches a fair de gree of completion and accuracy, it will be reduced, printed, and pub lished. It will then be given to all who desire it and can put it to prac tical use. BOTANY CLUB. T he Botanical Club had an un last interesting meeting usually Tuesday evening. M r. M. Craig gave a short talk on the advantages of a map of the surrounding country, upon which might be checked off the localities in which the different plants might be found. Dr. Beal then gave a talk on " H ow can we save our forests?" His remarks were illustrated by views. T he doctor was asked several questions from a those present discussion of which gathered a number of very good points. More than the usual num ber of interesting observations were reported. An interesting program has been prepared for next Tuesday night, and you are urged to be pres ent. THE PROHIBITION ORA TORICAL CONTEST. T he Michigan Intercollegiate Prohibition Oratorical Association held its annual oratorical contest in the College Chapel at Hillsdale, Friday evening, M ay 9. Those taking p i rt were: A. W. • Brown, representing Kalamazoo. His sub ject was " T he Apostle of Temper ance R e f o r m "; C. P. Salmon of Adrian on "A Menace to the American H o m e "; E. M. Moore of A nn Arbor " T he Ethical on Saloon" ; B. E. Rifenbergh of Hills dale on "A Plea for Better Citizen ship," and Miss Maud Squires of Albion whose subject was " W r e c k s ." interstate M r. E. M. Moore representing the U. of M. won the first prize of represent fifteen dollars and will Michigan at con the test at Lincoln, N e b ., in J u n e. Mr. A. W. Brown of Kalamazoo College won the second prize, a ten dollar gold medal, and third honors went to Miss Maud Squires of Albion College. T he judges w e r e: On composi tion, Harry S. W a r n er of Chicago, H. A. Bacon of Pontiac and Chas. Russell of Detroit; on delivery, R e v. Ira D. Hall of Coidwater, R e v. Archibald Wheaton of Jack son, and Rev. N. L. Bray of Jack son. Immediately after the contest the State convention was held at which the officers of the association for the coming year were elected. T h ey are: President, G. H. Hobart of Hillsdale College; vice president, E. S. H a w k i ns of Adrian College; secretary, M. S. Sanburn of Kala treasurer, Fred mazoo College; Geib of the University of Michigan. T he entire contest was a success, each contestant doing credit to him self and his college. T he only thing we have to regret is that M. A. C. had no contestant and it is hoped that we will have a represen tative in the contest next year which will probably take place at Adrian College. A L U M N I. M. A. G ASSOCIATION OF WASHINGTON, D.
