Mr. Moses Craig gave the club an instructive talk on " H ow to use the Library." T he subject was discussed and all agreed that stud ents did not use the library system atically or half so much as they should. T he department furnished a treat of fine Northern Spies. T he last meeting of t he year will be on J u ne 6. Officers for fall term will be elected and the pres ence of all w ho are interested in Horticulture is desired. A T H L E T I C S. M. A. C. lost her first cup game to Albion Saturday by a score of 4 to 1. T he decision did not come until the 9th inning, when by two two-base hits and t wo singles the game w as won for the visitors. Both teams played an excellent field ing game, although M. A. C. was called upon for the greater number of hard hitting chances, Albion Nies hard field did excellent work, Thatcher perhaps getting the hardest running catch of the day. A r m s t r o ng played his position in fine shape, and A k e rs at third also put up a good game. throughout.

A heavy rain during the morn ing converted the field into a sea of mud, but both teams played good ball in spite of this fact. A k e rs pit ched a star game striking out eleven men to his opponent seven.

It was recommended that in fu ture contests a plan determining the approaching winning that used by the Northern Oratori cal League be adopted as follows : those on thought and composition and those on delivery be made by the same judges, who in order for their gradings to be considered must be present at the contest and at that time submit grades on both thought and delivery. 2. T h at judges selected be five, and that of these at least three must be present before the contest shall go forward. the number of THE M. A. C. RECORD. 3. T h at all orations must be sub mitted to the judges two weeks be fore the date of the contest, in order thoroughly that they may become familiar with the orations as to thought and composition, and on the their night of delivery may make gradings with greater deliberateness. 4. T h at the judges be requested not to communicate either to each other or to any one else their opin ions on any matter connected with the orations until after their grad ings shall have been delivered to the ushers on the night of the contest. the grade the face of cards used by the judges to record their decisions shall take the form indicated below :— 5.

T h at on the back of said cards shall appear the following : is requested (a) T he judge to grade each oration twice; once on thought and composition, placing in the column marked that grade " grade on MS ;" and once on deliv ery, placing this last in the column marked " Grade on Delivery." Each of these two grades should be made on the basis of 100 as perfect. (b) T he persons having in charge the arrangements for the contest are requested to make nine sum mary sheets (one for a representa tive of each of the contesting col leges) arranged similarly to those heretofore in use, except that there must be ten columns instead of six and judge's name must appear at the head of one column in the T h o u g ht and Composition division and also at the head of a column in the Delivery division. T he method of summarizing shall be as heretofore. that each (c) Hesitation in delivery should reduce the grading of a seriously contestant, and a complete failure of memory should debar the con testant from competition. I I. It was recommended that a committee consisting of one repre sentative from the faculty of each institution in the Michigan Oratori cal League be designated as a per manent advisory committee for the League. I I I. It was recommended that the contestant winning second place in the the state contest be constituted official representative of the state on the inter-state Executive Board. that It was recommended hereafter only the persons winning the honor places (first three) be re ported to the papers. I V. V. It was recommended that a standing list of judges be agreed up on by the members of the League, from which each year judges may be taken [possibly in order of suc cession. H. E .] by the president of the League without further authori zation. As a beginning for such list the following names were un animously agreed upon by the per sons present:— E. H. Lewis, of Lewis Institute, Chicago. Victor H. Lane. Justice A. V. McAlvay, Supreme Court, Lansing. W. W. W e d e m e y e r, lawyer, A nn Arbor. Marian Lawrence of Toledo. J. C. Hutchins of A nn Arbor. C. C. Simons, lawyer, Detroit. T h o m as Barkworth, lawyer, Jackson". A. C. McLaughlin, lawyer, Chi cago. George Vincent. W. H. Elson, Grand Rapids. T he object of the conference was to give greater definiteness of pur pose to the contests ; to make them the means of the evolution of a well defined, effective and noble type of oratory. To this end it was deter mined to submit these recommenda the various colleges for tions to ratification as amendment to our constitution and by-laws, the said ratification at the same time acting to repeal all parts of the constitution and by-laws that conflict with the provisions of the recommendations ratified.

C. and everyone is planning on the big meet with a great deal of interest. M. A. C. has 57 entries from w h om she is expecting great things. in base ball and Both Olivet and Albion are strong this year and the former is expect ing to bring practically the whole school. She is particularly strong both track and stands a good show of winning both. Albion will not perhaps send a large delegation to the meet but will run an excursion on the day her team plays ball. Neither Alma nor Kalamazoo will send a great number of contest ants for the track events, although send quite a good the latter will crowd. Hillsdale delegation will probably not be large. (M. A. C.) and T he tennis will be in charge of W e s t e r m an this sport will start Thursday morning. E v e ry college will not send a full team, but each will be represented in tennis. L a r ge delegations from the sur towns are expected, as rounding Fowlerville, Williamston, Mason and other towns have signified their intention to be here. Classes will be held up to Friday then noon. T he track events will begin Friday afternoon. Electric T he indoor meet will be held on the athletic field Friday evening at lights will be in 7:3o. the grand stand stalled in front of and here will occur the tumbling, wrestling and apparatus work. T he struggle here will be between M. A. C. and Alma as the other col leges have entered very few men for these events. O ur wrestling team will be com posed of Charlton, P e r r y, Spencer, Bleech, Belknap and Orvis. In tumbling we will be repre sented by Cataline and Jacobs. It is a source of much disappoint ment to both Capt. L. H. Belknap and all others that he will be unable to take his place in wrestling and tumbling. His knee which was in jured about a month ago, was hurt again by a fall on the campus a few days ago and it is not thought ad visable for him to participate in these events. T he young ladies who come from other colleges will be entertained at the W o m a n 's Building for meals, and for rooms they will be taken care of at the W o m e n 's Building and on faculty row. Entertainment for between 50 and 60 have already been provided for in this way. T he clubs are going to serve extra meals for those w ho want them and there will also be an eating tent at the head of the field near the en trance to the grounds proper. T he price for the four sessions will be 75 cents, or 25 cents each. CHORUS CONCERT. T he annual concert given May 25th by the M. A. C. Chorus was a decided success from a musical point of view and Miss Freyhofer and the members of the chorus are to be highly congratulated for pre senting to the people of M. A. C. a concert of such high order of excel lence. It is a matter of regret that the concert was not more largely attend ed by the student body, especially when it is remembered that most of the entertainments, of decidedly in ferior order, given in the armory during the past winter have been listened to by very much larger au diences. Of the works presented enough has already been said in a previous number of the R E C O R D, and suffice it to say that the music of both can tatas was very pleasing and thor oughly enjoyed by the audience, as was evidenced by the applause that followed the close of the E rl King's Daughter, in response to which the soloists and chorus very graciously to repeat " F a ir Ellen." consented T he success of chorus singing is measured by the firmness and pre cision of the attacks, the enuncia tion and the closeness with which the will of the director is followed. In all these respects the chorus de serves much praise, and the result of their diligent and careful work during the winter should be a source of great to both the chorus and its director. satisfaction T he singing of both soloists was very much enjoyed. M r s. Carson possesses a soprano voice of pleasing though not very powerful quality and she sang the parts assigned to her in both cantatas in a very satis factory manner. T he baritone, Mr. Campbell, was without question the favorite with the audience. He has a voice of ex ceptional quality, which he uses artistically. His enunciation was perfect and his singing was marked with a great deal of expression. Mr. Campbell's voice was heard to in Lord E d w a r d 's best advantage farewell song in Fair Ellen and in Oluf's song in T he Earl K i n g 's Daughter,— " W h en thro' the meadow of tender green I see the streamlet wander." T he accompaniments were played in a very excellent by Miss A v e ry manner. THE M. A. C. RECORD. FOOD CHOPPERS Universal and Grlswold EVERY KIND OF FURNITURE FOR YOUR ROOM.

F A R M E R S' CLUB. One of the largest and most at tentive audiences of the term con the Tuesday evening gregated at meeting of the club to hear Prof. Shaw in his usual interesting man ner tell "how to get the .most out of a college course." T he professor had prepared himself for the occa sion, and thoughtfully handed out some well ground down advice that could not help appealing to many as very applicable and well worth thorough consideration. T oo many students enter college without a defi nite purpose and therefore fail to get the most from their college course. A college training will fit a man for life's work only to the extent that it is made useful in accomplishing some well defined purpose. No person possesses the power to mas ter every subject; the world wants men fitted along some special line. Don't be lead astray because others have secured good positions in some special line, but choose that line of that lies nearest your heart work the accomplishment regardless of of others. Keep life the present well in hand and let the future take care of itself. Too many students in college are living on future hopes and not availing themselves of pres ent opportunities that are to prepare them for their future work. College life is full of allurements, but don't allow them to interfere with the purpose you are here for. Give all the attention you can to literary work as it trains the person in vari ous ways that cannot be reached in the class room. Do not neglect ath letics as they tend to keep the phy sical and mental powers in balance. A strong, healthy, well developed body is essential to an active mind and life. to enjoy the pleasures of Never go beyond the strength of your purse. R e m e m b er your fath er and mother and the sacrifices they endure for your benefit. In conclu sion the professor said, "A drop of rain may fall upon this spot, carried to the river and on to the sea, and some time might return to this very spot; but let a moment pass waste- fully during your college course, and unlike the rain drop it will never return, but is gone from you for ever. Neglect not your valuable moments, but put every one to some purpose that will assist you in your talk future accomplishment." T he was truly inspiring and every one felt greatly repaid for the evening meeting.

V an Houteii, are abun dant and conspicuous, the glory of the day. East of College Hall is a large plant of S. trilobata which has been much admired for nearly forty vears. South of College Hall about six rods is an oval bed of this shrub about feet long, some what damaged on the west side by a large white oak. North and west of the office of Secretary Brown are four bushes of the same kind and east of Williams Hall are others. Spiraea V an Houteii is more deli cate, more graceful, the leaves nar rower and less dteply lobed and the flowers smaller. It is a seedling of the former old and well known spe cies and is considered the finest Spi raea in cultivation. twenty-five For samples of VanHoutteii look northeast of the post office south west and near the house occupied by Professor Smith ; there are two south of the house of Professor T a f t; west of the secretary's house is a fine shrub twenty feet across, if measured over the t o p; there are the W o m a n 's also several west of Building and west of the Botanical Laboratory. Several kinds of lilacs are on the wane, also many fine plants of J a p an Quince. Across the road north of the library and on the north side of the shrubbery is the best large, red- flowered Tartarian Honeysuckle. See other fine specimens west of the W o m a n 's Building. On the south of this hall are fine snowballs and several fringe trees. A large fringe tree is to be seen sev eral rods west of the chemical labor the greenhouse, atory. W e st of tennis also near the road, by the dog flowering courts, are good woods. Between library and the Horticultural laboratory is a double- flowered scarlet thorn,much admired by all, and to the north is a double- flowered white hawthorn. All must have admired the early yellow-flowered forsythias, so per fect this spring, but unfortunately the flower buds seldom survive our winters. A unique shrub now in flower has made its way in the top of a Jack-pine north of Abbott hall, attaining a height of some eighteen feet. A bird planted the seed and she planted well.
