PLANS FOR NEw" AGRICUL TURAL BUILDING AGAIN UNDER WAY. received After a delay of several months steps are again being taken toward the erection of the new Agricultural Building.

T he site chosen for the building is the one previously occu pied by the old barns just east of the veterinary laboratory. PROF. SHAW MADE DEAN OF AGRICULTURE.

Seldom, if ever, have the old wall of the Armory looked down on such a notable gathering of historical fig ures and varied costumes as were fancy present at the third annual dress party given by the Columbi ans Saturday evening. Ambassa dors from the Land of the Rising Sun, and the Chinese Empire, fierce representatives from Turkey, quaintly dressed Hollanders, Indians from the bad lands, Greasers of Old Mexico, P at from the old sod, sol diers and sailors of all nationalities, Westerners and Easterners, with surgeon and nurse to care for the in jured, a clown to amuse the assem bly, a member of the Lansing police the " Couple of force to see that law and Kids " obeyed the curfew Uncle Sam to keep his eyes overall were some of the characters present. One end of the building was real istic of a winter scene in the woods, with a camp fire, a shack, and an abundance of snow made it real.

T he usual good music by Baker's orchestra and the specialties in the program numbers made the dances most enjoyable, and to add to the evening's pleasure the party was chaperoned by Dean and M r s. Bissell, Prof, and M r s. Vedder and Prof, and M r s. Sawyer. fire-place Y. M. C A. conducted Mr. Wadleigh the T h u r s d ay evening meeting of the Y. M. C.

Those w ho fail to attend are depriving themselves of one of the greatest opportunities for development that exists at the col lege. T he largest attendance of the year greeted Prof. Fletcher at the union meeting, Sunday evening, it being necessary to open the large the hall. doors and make use of T he orchestra Industrial School was expected, but owing to irregu lar car service failed to make con nections.
