T he Flint game will be called at three o'clock, and it is expected to try out all of the best candidates at this time. T he new men w ho are showing up well are Kurtz, Morrison, Sterling, Tanner, Allen, w ho is showing up well as a kicker, Burroughs, Bliss, Frazier, Reid, McKenna, the 2 n d; Campbell, Meeker and Burt Shedd, brother of M.

Albion, always strong, will have most of her old team back. Olivet and Kalamazoo are both ex ceptionally strong, and good reports come to us from Alma. T h e re will be seven home games the admission to which will be 25,35, and for the t wo big games 50 cents. T he total at the gate will be $2.45. Season coupon tickets will be fur nished, however, to all college peo ple for $1.50. Under the new rul ing of the athletic board every one connected with the institution is a member of the athletic association and no fee is charged for joining the same. Something will be said of this in a fu' ure issue of the R E C O RD so that all may know the new ar rangement now in effect. Forty-five years ago Dr. A sa Gray said that pamphlets were the pest of his life ; they came so often, they were troublesome to care for letters to ac and required frequent knowledge the receipt which was previous to the time of the type writer. W h at would he think of pamphlets had he lived to see 1905? T he U. S. department of agriculture sends out many each week, some time* ten in a single envelope, to say nothing of as many more from other sources. w. j.

F or many years the Y o u ng Men's Christian A ss -ciation at M. A. C. has occupied a room in Williams' Hall, which has served in a small measure as a social gathering place for students and for the religious meetings of that association. It is obvious to anvone acquainted with the situation at the College, isolated as it is from the city, that it has great need of opportunity to pro mote the social and religious wel fare of its students. T he growth of the institution within the past few years has rendered its former provision for this end entirely in adequate, if, indeed, it ever was sufficiently comprehensive. Recognizing the desirability, and indeed the necessity, of more gen erous and better equipped quarters, the local Y. M. C. A. in conjunction with the S t ' te Association, began agitating the question of building a commodious Y. M. C. A. building at the Co'lege, an'!, as a necessary preliminary, to k the matter to the Stats Board of Agriculture with a request for a convenient site and financial assistance in launching the enterprise. T he fir-t hearing before this body developed the fact that the Board's view of involved a broader and more comprehensive that presented by the plan than It took the groun I that, committee. this matter THE M. A. C. RECORD. as the managing board of a .state institution, it was not warranted in making grants to any religious or sectarian association, even one so catholic as the Y. M. C. A. T he proposition was . therefore made, that instead of a'tempting to build a distinctively Y. M. C. A. building that funds to the extent of $25,^00 be solicited to build a memorial build ing which should embaace quarters for the students' religious organiza tions, for general social gathering and for many necessary and desirable ac commodations of the student body, and that it should at all times be under direct authority of the board of control. On this basis the board of agri culture, at a meeting he!d in Grand Rapids on August 30th, passed a resolution granting a site upon the campus for such a building and $5,000 financial aid, the latter con ditional upon $20,000 being raised by the alumni and friends of the the College. T he president of board, M r. Monroe, President Sny der and the secretary were appointed a committee to have in charge the plans for the building and the solic iting of funds. Mr. Bowd, the College architect, has already made a preliminary sketch of the building, and this will soon be developed into a permanent form, when we shall and definite hope to present it to the readers of the R E C O RD in the shape of a neat cut that will convey to their minds a very definite idea of the proposed building. T he following are extracts from a letter written by D. J. Crosby, '93, a former editor of the R E C O R D, and now with the department of experiment agriculture (office of station) at W a s h i n g t o n: "I have just returned from Kansas, and I must say that I was agreeably sur prised at the equipment of that in stitution— its fine stone buildings in which beauty and utility are com bined with such massiveness as to I found V. indicate permanence.

I took dinner and sup per with him and Mrs. (Elsie Mor rison) Shoesmith, and had a little visit with Howard Severance, '01, that same afternoon who returnrd to St. Louis. " My stop at Manhattan was made on my return from Norton county, Kan., where in company with Pres. E. R. Nichols, of the K. S. A. C, County Superintendent of Schools, Culter, and H. H. Gerardy, princi pal of the Norton county high school, I made a horse and buggy canvas of the county in the interests of an agricu tural course which is offered this fall for the first time in the county hi^h school. We drove about 125 miles through Kansas dust with t'-e temperature going as high as 104 degrees at times, made addresses at eight different points, slept and ate in farm houses and found the accommodations better than in the hotels. And the farm ers are prosperous, even if some of them do live in "soddies." We took dinner one day in a so ( house which furnished a most happy sur prise both to our estethic taste and to that other taste, which had been sharpened by a long drive over rough roads. Outside the " s o d d y" had every appearance of florists' sod compost with sunflowers g r o w i ng over the top, except that there were windows and doors and a morning- glory growing over one end. But inside! T he walls were papered and plastered; the floors and other woodwork would have done credit to the best frame farm house ; there was a good piano and furniture in k e e p i n g; the kitchen-dining room was neat as a band box, the range was one of the modern high-shelf kind, the furniture plain but service able, and in one corner a telephone put the family in direct communica tion with nearly half the farmers of the county as well as with the vil lage merchants from whom supplies could be ordered in the morning to be delivered by the rural mail carrier before noon.

We joined forces for the afternoon and took t wo long street car rides—one to the new 1300 acre reservation, known as " S w o pe P a r k ," which has some of the finest possibilities for artistic development of any city reservation in the mid dle west. Miss Searing was on her way to Edmond, Oklahoma, where she takes charge of the work in an atomy, physiology and physical training in the Central State Nor mal school." A LETTER TO THE COL LEGE BOY.
