C. - Next Monday will occur the last game of the season. Toronto will come to M. A. C. This university always has strong teams, has a large attendance and will prove a hard contestant. T h ey play Cornell and other eastern teams and wiil give M. A. C. a chance of comparison with eastern institutions. Y. M. C. A. T he prayer meeting Thursday evening was led bv M r. Locke. T h e m e: Every Day Wisdom. M r. Barnett and Mr. Locke gave short talks on the subject, giving some good suggestions on this very im portant theme. Sunday morning: chapel service was conducted by R e v. Mr. French, of Lansing. He took for the sub ject of his sermon the story of the death and resurrection of Lazaruc, and applied the thoughts suggested by this miracle to our own lives. T he sermon was full of helpful sug gestions and rich thoughts. Mr. Masselink led the union meet ing Sunday night. He did not take a subject, but took up the study of Proverbs 21st to 29th chapters. In his characteristic style of Bible study, he selected and commented on the strong points in the lesson taken, applying them all to our times and circumstances. T he service was thoroughly enjoyed by those pres ent, w ho received new encourage ment to Bible study. R. E. H. in T he present method of getting traveling is incurred expenses nothing short of exasperating. It is not only cumbersome but insinuating as well. Swearing to and swearing at go together. W hy not adopt the system of a certain per diem and mileage ? This would do away with all unessential details and would not It impeach a man's honesty. would also reduce the clerical work 90 per cent., which is perhaps the chief objection from a political stand point. NOTICE. to Students are requested look through their rooms carefully for library books. Several times books have remained in rooms the entire summer vacation. All books must iS. be returned by Saturday, J u ne A CASE OF M E D A LS A ND T R O P H I E S. Reports come to us that some of in the holders of medals received field day events are willing to send them to the College, providing suit able arrangements can be made for their keeping. W hy couldn't a case of some kind be placed in the library, Director Brewer's office, or in the armory? Without doubt many would be glad to place the medals here for an indefinite length of time. in attendance would be Students willing to place them i.i such a case at least during their stay at College. Many of those w ho have left find that the care of a large number of medals is burdensome. T he College should provide a place and then in vite contributions and guarantee safety. PROFESSIONALISM IN ATHLETICS. We believe the time has come to do away with a well known farce in athletics. At present, a student is technically disqualified for any event if he has won a quarter in a sack race at the age of 12. Dartmouth has made the ruling that any bona fide student of that institution up in his work can enter any event for which he is fitted. His previous record will not disqualify him. T he M. I. A. A. should adopt something similar. T he R E C O RD recommends the following changes: 1. Limit the time during which a man can compete in athletics to four years. that all candidates 2. Require shall have been in regular atten dance since the first of the College year and are doing college work. 3. Abolish the clauses defining professionalism. These clauses are now a dead letter and this is well —, . I N o. 37 J '69. Jas. Satterlee of Greenville made last the college a short visit at Tuesday. 'SS. Geo.

T he marriage ceremony was performed by R e v. A. T. Cart land of Cassopolis, his old friend at M. A. C. where both were merabers of society. Dr. Austin left M. A. C. to take a course in dentistry at Northwestern University. He was graduated from the University of Michigan in 1902 and had established a success ful practice in Monticello, Indiana. T he funeral was held on Saturday, May 28, R e v. Cartland officiating. Quite a few at M. A. C. remember Mr. Austin for his gentlemanly ways, good nature, and as a young ideals. T he R E C O RD man of high to the relatives extends sympathy and friends of the deceased. It is true known to all. While specific proof might be difficult to secure, yet a glance at the M. I. A. A. is sufficient to convince the ordinary individual. the University that League has adopted a rule which is supposed to prevent a student from doing athletic work during vacation. W hy should a bona fide student be prohibited from earning money on which to go to college by pitching for some city team ? We think the point is not well taken and we are convinced that the rule will be vio lated just as much as the old one. A survey of the different university teams of the northwest is all that is necessary. W i th '90. James H.

TUESDAY, JUNE 7, 1904. FIELD D A Y. On Friday morning Director Brewer, some 30 athletes, the base ball team and about 200 rooters left for Albion.

Sunday was a day of rest and relaxation. F ew had enough the voice exercises of real living is an art and art is the expres sion of joy in one's work, hence we make no criticism. in day. But to participate left the is maintained. Athletics have never been better at M. A. C. An excellent spirit prevails and a high standard of scholarship Over 100 students were active candidates for the different teams during the year and less than 10 per cent were disqualified on account of scholar ship. Ms A. C. rigidly adheres to the rule that no student can com pete who is behind in more thEJh t wo subjects. When it is remembered that this applies to the entire course, it will be seen that our athletes rank well in the class-room. It is doubt ful whether another 100 students could be selected with fewer condi it tions. Mr. Brewer personally that athletic candidates keep up their class work. He has made the standard of athletics high, has turned out victorious teams and, insisted on having above all, has clean, honorable, vigorous men. sees to T he following are the events: Tennis, singles and doubles, won by Hillsdale. 100-yd.—Moon, M.
