PRIZE CONTEST IN ENG LISH. In the R E C O RD for Dec..8, in an article on the International Stock Show,, some statements were made, to which Secretary I. H. Butter- field, of the State Agricultural So ciety, takes exception. As M r. Butterfield personal experience we are glad to be thus corrected. He says : speaks from DETROIT, MICH., December, 1908. "I notice in the last RECORD an article about • the International Stock Show which made some statements about the show held in the old exposition build ing on the lake front that are incorrect. "The show held on the lake front, from 1880 on, was a, fat .sroc'r show held by the Illinois State Board as a supple ment to the State Fair. For many years, at least, no breeding stock was shown, and it was a great show of fat stock—the best there was in the country in those days—and a large show, too, as representative of different states as that now held. 'It would not be correct to say that quality of the fat stock has not improved in 25 years, but that very show has been one of the factors. And as to the edu cational features; they were more ap parent at that time than now. For in stance, at the "shows in the 80's prizes wers awarded for animals showing the greatest gain for cost of feed. I was myself on the committee that judged that class in 1883. Also the dressed carcass feature was worked out more than now. See Mich. Board of Ag. Re port 1889, page 206, where M. A. C. made a show of dressed beef and the re port thereon. "At this fat stock show other features were introduced, as for some years there was a great corn show, and also a poul try show of large dimensions. . "I do not belittle in the least the great show now being held of breeding stock as well as fat stock, but the latter, in ex tent, in fierceness of competition, and in educational value, is no more promi nent than the show of the '80s in the exposition building, "Very truly yours, " I. H. BUTTERHEI.D, "Sec'ry Mich. State Agricultural So." ENGINEERING READING ROOM. Beginning this week, the reading room in the engineering building will be open for the convenience of the engineering students, the same hours being observed as at the library. T he room, which has recently been fitted up, is on the second floor at the east end. of the building, known as N o. 204. It is large and well lighted, and is furnished with 7 tables and seats for 28 persons. T he engineering periodicals, form erly found in the reading room at the library, may now be found here, as well as a large number of techni cal engineering books, which are the property of the various depart ments. During the evening a care taker will be in charge. K e ys to the cases containing reference books may be had of the professors in charge of the various engineering departments. Through the courtesy of F u nk & W a g e n a i rs Publishing Co., of N ew York City, a morocco bound copy of the Standard Dictionary, the regular price of which is $ 3 0, is available as a prize to the member of the sophomore class who proves himself the most proficient in the English language. T he plan for determining w ho shall receive the prize will be worked out in connection with the sophomore classes in English 2 i dur ing the present term, which consists of "studying? and writing orations. T he conditions for entering, which are left with the English department, will probably be as follows : All students receiving a mark of 8^ per cent, or above may be candi dates for a preliminary oratorical contest, by which the best four or six will be selected to compete in a final contest for the prize, which will be given to the contestant whose oration is adjudged best by properly selected judges, marking both manuscript and delivery. RARE BIRDS ON THE CAMPUS, Sunday .morning, January 10, Mr. Luther Baker (class of 1893) called mv attention to two speci mens of the evening grosbeak, which were picking up seeds froth the ground near the deer park. T h ey were watched for some time, and were evidently females or im mature birds, as their colors were quite dull. T h c o id male, about the size of a robin, is a very conspicu ous bird, the colors being old gold, bluisfe black and pure white in con spicuous masses, the black and gold, into each other however, shading in places tints of brown, olive and buff. As in all the grosbeaks, the bill is very large, short and strong. through various T he last record of this species on the campus was in the winter of 1S96-97, when a single specimen was seen, and the next previous rec ord was in the winter of 1889-90, when the bird was here in large flocks, and numerous specimens were taken and are now in the col lege museum. T he evening gros beak is an irregular winter visitor to Michigan, appearing sometimes in large numbers, but more often in small flocks, which of late years have come somewhat regularly into the northern parts of the state, par ticularly along the Lake Superior shore. More scatter rarely through the entire state, as in the winter 1890 when they extended south into Illinois, Indiana and Ohio, and east into Ontario, and to some of the N ew England states. they fact that the first It has double interest for us from specimen the known to science, the type from which the species was described, was taken near Sault Ste. M a ne in April, 1823, by Schoolcraft, and de scribed by Cooper in January, 1S25, under the name of fringilla vesper- tina, the specific name being given under the belief apparently that the bird sang most, often or most beau tifully at evening. As a matter of fact the song is seldom heard while with us in the winter, and it ap pears to be in no way remarkable in in the Rocky its summer home Mountain region. T he evening grosbeak was reported from N o r way, Michigan, on the 10th of last December, when Airs.' R. C. Flan- nigan of that city found a flock of six eating the seeds from a box- elder tree. T h is is the only other record of the bird's occurrence in this winter so far as we Michigan W A L T ER B, B A R R O W S. k n o w. LIBER AL^ARTS^UNION. \\ ith the exception of a limited amount of modern languages, liter ature, history, and economics the work of students and teachers at M. A. C is in strictly technical lines. designed to train the student in cor rect habits of study, observation little and reasoning. Comparative attention i-~ given officially to the humanities, an interest in which is essential to the proper development of him w ho would be, besides a technical expert, also a useful, agree able and influential member of soci ety and good company for himself. Athletics receive adequate moral and support, and are a recreation for all. So wholesome cial affairs receive also clue attention, but are not as profitable as they might He it those participating had also keen and intelligent interests in literature, drama, fine arts, music. history, ecomomics. and social prob lems, commerce, politics and a host of other things which are of vital concern to the outside world. financial Music, debating and oratory arc- here represented by general organi zations, such as the chorus, debat ing league, etc.. and in the case of music especially are doing much to arouse and maintain interest in the respective lines. To further the work already begun and to encourage endeavor in other directions the Liberal A r ts Union of the Michigan Agricultural College has been organized. Specifically its purpose as set forth in the constitu tion is "to encourage and stimulate a greater interest in those matters that make a broader, social and cultural life in the college, and to this end shall foster and support all organizations tend to bring that about such conditions. , T he complete text of the consti tution will be published in a subse quent issue. T he conduct of the w ork of the Union lies with a board of directors consisting of four from the stu the faculty and three from dent body. Methods of work must be devised and tested as in the case of new enterprises, and the hope is that the Union will find work to do and will do so as to win the approval and support of the community. T he officers of the L nion for the current year are : President, G. \V. Bissell; Board of Directors, E. H. Rider, A. J. Patten, A. M. Brown, Miss Gilchrist, W. D. Frazcr, C. I I. Nash and R. A.
