T he track was straightened up in order to get the proper straight-a-way on either side and cinders regraded, new added and fixed up generally. After track had been permanently the fixed, a curb was placed on the in side, one-half being of cinders, the curve on the south end of cement and the straight-a-way of sandstone. A l o ng the straight-a-way has been built a permanent wire fence which will, prevent teams from crowding on to the track. A low fence will be built along the the lower curve to mark inside of same and stakes finishes. will be set at all starts and These will also be permanent im provements. T h e re has also been put in a cement and cinder pole vaulting and jumping place which will be much appreciated by the contestants. T he diamond has been shifted so as to the straight a-way avoid crossing and will now run parallel to it. T he swampy place in left field has been filled in and graded in good shape. T he spots which were covered with muck have been sodded and the sandy portions filed with clay and loam. M. A. C. has, without doubt, the finest athletic field in the west and it keeps getting better. On next Saturday will occur the circus which has been announced. It will be given in the armory and the management will endeavor to secure a tent to be set up at the the " side west end of same for shows " as the armory will hardly be large enough for all attractions.

In case it is poss'ble to secure such a road the city of Lan the sing is to pave the streets from P. M. & M.

Neither of these can be considered a spring bird, although both species migrate northward in considerable numbers during the spring. T he true arrival from the south was the crow which appeared March 2 in some numbers. T he other arrivals are as follows : March 6, robins ; March 10, bronzed g r a c k l e s; March 16, killdeer; March 17, bluebird and meadowlark ; March 18, mourning dove, rusty grackle, red-wing black bird and sparrow, with a in numbers o f marked cedar waxwings and meadowlarks. T r ee sparrows and juncos also were abundant, but a few of these have been here all winter. March 26, phoebe and kingfisher; March 28, flicker or golden-winged w o o d pecker and an increase in the num ber of golden-crown kinglets, a few of which remained on the campus through the winter. A robin waf seen collecting nesting material for the first time on March 30. song increase W A L T ER B. B A R R O W S. Y. M. C'A. T he newly elected officers of the Y. M. C.

Silcox will this leave Lansing this month and will probably be his last appearance at M. A. C. T h e re will be music by the College choir. Messrs. Bell, Bates, A. A.

Mr. W e r m u th has promised to lead one of the Sun day evening meetings the coming term. SCHOOLMASTER'S CLUB. the factor T he Michigan Schoolmaster's Club held a very successful meeting in A nn Arbor last week. This organization has become a very im portant educational in the state. Nearly all interests of the leading college men, progressive superintendents school men belong to this organization. T he prominent speakers at the gen eral sessions this year were Presi dent W o o d r ow Wilson of Prince ton, Dean L. H. Bailey of Cornell, and high Prof. R. M. Wenley of the Uni versity of Michigan, Prof. J a m es R. Angell of Chicago University, and Dean Brett of the Library School Western Reserve University. T he addresses were of an exceptionally h i sh order. T h ey will be printed in the annual report of the organ ization. T he conferences, or section meet- ins, were held in the afternoon of each day. A number of prominent speakers from the various univers ities were present. T he program of the Classical especially note Conferences was worthy. A m o ng prominent the speakers were Prof. A n d r ew F. West, Princeton University; Profs. Charles K n a pp J a m es C. E g b e r t, Columbia University; Prof. J o hn M. Burnham, Cincin nati University ; Prof. A r t h ur Fair Iowa, banks, of and Prof. William Gardner Hale, of the Chicago University. the University of and Very interesting meetings were held by the departments of chemis try, physics, mathematics, history, English and modern languages. T he meeting which called forth the largest attendance, was the lecture by President W o o d r ow Wilson on Friday evening, when 2500 people assembled large auditorium to hear his address on " T he Uni versity and the Nation." President Wilson was at his best and held the audience spell bound for more than an hour. It was such a subject as only a great man interested in a great theme, with a large sympathetic audience, can give. the in T he entire meeting was regarded as a great success and President Snyder received many compliments on the arrangement and carrying out of such an excellent program. AGR'L COLLEGE P. O. It will, we believe, be of interest something to our readers to know of the amount of business done at the Agricultural College postoffice, and how this business has increased. the It is not an unusual thing for in a letters office to handle 1,000 single morning mail. On Monday mornings this number is of course increased greatly, often running up to 3,000 and over. T he paper mail is very heavy also, a great number for of students being subscribers magazines and other periodicals to those that go to the say nothing of faculty members, the library, and those outside not connected with the college in any way. the office T he money order business has also g r o wn very rapidly. In 1904 there were 2,000 orders issued and a great many more than this num ber taken up. It is not so very un usual for to pay out as high as four or five hundred dollars in a single day. T he money order just about doubled business has since the office was moved to its present quarters. This increase is due in part to the desirable location, but more, of course, on account of the large increase in the number of students. Since the removal from the H o rt (Continued on page 3.)

A first prize of one thousand dol lars, and a second prize of five hun dred dollars, in cash, are offered for the best studies presented by Class A, composed exclusively of all per sons who have received the bache lor's degree from an American col lege in 1894, or thereafter; and a first prize of three hundred dollars, and a second prize of one hundred and fifty dollars, in cash are offered for the best studies presented by Class B, composed of persons w h o, at the time the papers are sent in, are undergraduates of any American college. No one in Class A may compete in Class B; but any one in Class B may compete in Class A. T he committee reserves to itself the right to award the two prizes of $1,000 and $500 to undergraduates, if the merits of the paper demand it. T he ownership of the copyright of successful studies will vest in the donors, and it is expected that, with out precluding the use of these pa pers as theses for higher degrees, they will cause them to be issued in some permanent form. Competitors are advised that the studies should be thorough, expressed in good English, and not needlessly expanded. T h ey should be inscribed with an assumed name, the year when the bachelor's degree was re- eceived, and the institution which conferred the degree, or in which he is studying, and accompanied by a sealed envelope giving the real name and address of the competitor.
