Under his administration the me chanical department has developed rapidly. He h as also supervised the engineering work of the college, and the new heating plant, a model of its kind, stands as a monument of his skill as an engineer.

To many the opening of the college year comes as a welcome, as they have been working hard and trying to save something with which to carry the coming through year. These especially are glad to return to books and laboratories. If then we will but put into our col lege work the same energy and good will displayed the past three months, there is little doubt but that the year will be a pleasant and pro fitable one. Realizing that we pass this way but once, let us have a well defined purpose in view from t he start and firmly determine to win out at all odds. Another thing—one oft repeated, but one which will bear it — let us not become so absorbed in our o wn work as to entirely forget the inter ests of others. Let us especially re member that there are perhaps 300 or more young people just starting into college life who need a kindly word or just a little help now and then to make smooth some of the rough places. T he time thus spent in taking a kindly interest in those about you is never lost and you will be repaid many times by so doing. T HE R E C O RD extends a hearty welcome to all students, both old and n e w, and trusts that this, our semi-centennial year, will be the most successful in the history of old M. A. C. THE subscription price of T HE R E C O R D, published every week during the college year, is but 50c. H a ve you subscribed yet? Just mention this matter to your new friend who may be interested. We want 200 new subscribers this year. ATHLETICS. Prospects for a winning foot ball team are very bright again this year. Coach Brewer has been at work the past ten days putting things in shape for the opening of the season. T he greatest need at present seems to be for a punter. McKenna, Fisk, Boomsliter and McDetmid will be greatly missed, but a goodly number of last year's squad will be here, practically all of last season's second team and considerable new material is also showing up. Of old men we are sure of Capt. Doty, Small, Kratz, Boyle, Shedd, Parker, Burroughs, Frazer, and P. McKenna. Holdsworth will not return, and it will be necessary to find a running mate for Boyle, which will necessitate a shift of the back field over last year. W h i le no official action on the rules has been taken by t he new board it is presumed that the facul ties of the various colleges will in sist upon a strict observance of the new regulations, and also the recom mendations made by the faculty conference which met last spring. T he new rules will certainly in sure a more interesting game, es pecially for t he spectators, than ever. T h e re will be plenty of punt ing, open field running, long passes and trick plays. M. A. C. will, therefore, be benefited by t he new rules, as we have always had a light, fast team, and it is believed that we stand even a better show of winning out than we did last year. T he schedule as arranged opens the season on Sept. 29 with Olivet, on the home gridiron. T he visitors w i l l h a ve somewhat the advantage of the home team as they have been able to practice one week before M. A. C. opened. This will necessitate some hard practice on the part of our men this week, and Coach Brewer is work ing hard to get the players into line. Following is a schedule of games : Sept. 29, Olivet at M. A. C. Oct. 6, Alma at Alma. Oct. 13, Kalamazoo at M. A. C. Oct. 20, De P a uw at M. A. C. Oct. 17, Flint Mutes at M. A. C. N o v. 3, Albion at Albion. Nov. 10, Alma at M. A. C. N o v. 17, Hillsdale at Hillsdale. Nov. 24, Olivet at Olivet. T he game on Oct. 27 m ay be changed to one with Notre Dame or possibly one with the University of North Dakota at the latter place. This University has been trying for two years to g et M. A. C. there, and this date has been offered th^m. As yet nothing has been heard from them. Y. M. C A. F or the benefit of the students who are entering M. A. C. for the first time we take this opportunity of calling attention to the work and purpose of the Young Men's Chris tian Association. It is an organization of students and faculty and controlled and sup ported by them, and every student of a good moral character is eligible for membership. T he Y. M. C. A. was organized in 1885 and has exerted an uplifting influence in the school ever since, and today it is a permanent, recognized influence in the College. This association was formed for the purpose of creating a friendly social spirit among the students and for the developing of a higher life r/»oral and deeper among the men of the school. religious By the various receptions during the year and the constant mingling of students in the reading and game rooms, a more intimate and friendly relation is cultivated between the students; and by the meetings held Thursday and Sunday evenings and the various Bible and Mission study classes which had a total enrollment of something like 150 members, the association seeks to develop a high er moral and deeper religious life among the students. T he Y. M. C. A. does not insist upon any particular religious belief, but any student w ho will make a conscientious effort to live an hon est upright life is welcomed to be come a member of the association. T he Bible is the guidebook because in it are the truths which make for a strong manly character, and J e s us Christ is taken as the example, be cause his life is a living example for manly imitation. T he organization stands for clean athletics; good, honest, conscien tious work in the class r o o m; a relationship friendly and healthful between student and faculty; and seeks by its various activities to de velop a strong manly character. Surely every student at M. A. C. wants thi<, and can a new student, just entering into a new life under new circumstances, do anything bet ter or of more importance to himself than affiliating himself with this organization which aims to develop a strong upright college manhood? FARM MECHANICS. the A division of farm mechanics has been added to the farm department, and M r. L. J. Smith, graduate of department, '06, the engineering has been appointed to take charge of the work. F or the present this division will furnish the instruction work, to regular agricultural and short course men, in blacksmithing, carpentering, farm engines, power machines, and farm machinery in general. T he demand for special training in these lines of work has been such as to justify the establish ment and equipment of a division to fill conditions have been changing rapidly and to day w o rk which was formerly done by hand is now largely taken care of by machinery. It is also neces sary for the farmer to have suffici ent knowledge of engines and power machines of various sorts to know how to properly operate the same. It is not the intention to develop skilled mechanics, but rather to equip the men so that they will be able to properly handle all kinds of machinery on the farm, thereby adding to their usefulness and ex tending the duration of the effici ency. F a rm need. NEW INSTRUCTORS. (Continued from page 1.) that he might regain his hope health. It was only a few weeks ago that the college authorities fin ally granted his request to be re lieved. M r. Leonard h as been an exceptionally able and faithful in structor, and has written a book on "Machine Shop Tools and Meth ods," which takes high rank, and is perhaps the best publication on this subject. It is to be hoped that he will rapidly regain his health and eventually take his place at M. A. C. again. 'o5- T he wedding of Miss Grace E. Eisele of A nn Arbor to M r. W. F.

During the summer the Horticul tural Department has been very busy upon the grounds. T he grad ing and filling has been done about Wells Hall. T he execution of M r. Simonds recommendations concern ing new roads is now in progress. T he main drive leading from in front of Secretary Brown's house to the library, and the road running in front of Howard Terrace and the woman's building are both being sodded down. These roads are re placed by one new road which is nearly intermediate between the two Following feet of road. the drive from old ones. T he drive from the post office to College Hall will be taken up this fall. T he old drives will be sodded and seeded so that they will be a part of the lawn by next May. It is expected that when the ma cadamizing of Michigan avenue is completed, which will be about Oct. 1st, the machinery can be used to macadamize a strip of road on the campus. T he department has been accumulating stone for this purpose, and has enough to macadamize sev It is eral hundred thought the that W o m e n 's Building to College Hall or further will be improved first. recommendation the of Mr. Simonds the secretary is now building a large concrete via duct from the the point east of the Women's Building, w h e re s w a mp drain crosses the road to the point east of Abbot Hall by the large willow near the rustic bridge, where the old drain discharged into an open ditch. This viaduct will carry about twice as much water as the old drain and should be able to handle all comes the water down the natural drainage course that it occupies, except perhaps in very exceptional floods. T h is re lieves the Women's Building from danger of flooding the basement. It also, unfortunately, cuts off the water supply of the little lake . that summer, the past T he intolerable mosquito nuisance of part of which undoubtedly came from this lakelet, has created a sentiment on the campus in favor of abandoning the lake. Another plan is to drain it, cover the bottom with a foot or more of clav, and run a supply pipe to it from the head of the via duct, and provide it with a gate so that the water that drains into that from the s w a mp above may be di verted into the lakelet, as much as is necessary to keep it ful1. Still an other plan, which is suggested by Mr. Gunson, is to make a new lake let in the natural depression east of Abbot Hall where the viaduct dis charges. This could be done at little ex pense, and it is thought that there would be sufficient water and suffi cient fall to prevent stagnation, and the breeding of "wigglers" ; if not, an artesian well could be driven here, but it could not where the present lakelet is located.
