One of the manv advantages of the college and one which is com ing to be appreciated more and more each vear is its easy access to the State library which, with its 200,000 volumes easily accessible, forms a valuable supplement to the college librarv. T h is has now be come doubly valuable from the fact that the college has recentlv be come associated with the State lib rary. By this arrangement patrons of the college library w ay draw books from the State library upon filing a card signed by the college librarian. T h is entitles the bearer two year's membership and to a for an additional may be renewed vear. these Patrons possessing cards may draw books for a period of two weeks and may have them renewed for an additional week. Like our own, the State library contains comparatively little modern fiction, but it is especially strong in general literature, State history, and books dealing with political and economic questions. Its law library is one of the best and it has an un usually complete magazine file both of current numbers and bound vol include all umes most of which back numbers. Bound volumes of magazines may be drawn for a per iod of one week only. - the library Ordinarily is open from 8 to 12 and from 1 to 5. Dur ing the legislative session, however, it is open continuously from 8 a. m. to 9 p. m. which will give college patrons unusual this winter. advantages '00 E n g. C. W. Bale is at Portland, Ore gon, acting as assistant chief entri- neer at the Williamette Iron W o r k s. '89. A pamphlet comes to our desk describing a series of stereopticon lectures by H o w a rd Evarts Weed, of the above class. These lectures, known as T he Improvement Lec tures,, taken together are designed to cover the entire field of civic and home improvement, "and comprise such subjects as, A More Beautiful America, T he Need of P a r ks and Children's Playgrounds, T he Orna mentation of the City Lot, More Beautiful Cemeteries, and T r e e s, Shrubs and Flowers. M r. Weed is a practical landscape gardener of Chicago. His address is 1715 Rail way Exchange.

I A B R A H AM L I N C O LN Whom the Nation honors antlall the World respects. A PROCLAMATION. To the People of the. State of Michigan : Abraham Lincoln, one of the gentlest, greatest characters the world has ever known, eame into being in a humble Kentucky home just a century ago. Born February 12, 1809, he was of the common people whose interests he ever guarded and whose rights he defended to the end. Destined to serve as chief executive of this Nation through the years of its greatest trial, he rendered his country a service that has no parallel. to the memory of The people of this state and country will be better able to do their full duty as citizens if .they take time to do special honor the Great Emancipator on the occasion of the one hundredth anniversary of his birth. In the performance of this long service they will benefit themselves by learning anew the lesson of this great life and thus come to a greater appreciation of privileges they enjoy and of the sacri fices of those who preserved for them this government and all the benefits it confers upon even the humblest citizen of our country. To the end that the people of Michi gan may give special thought to this important matter, I call upon them to make special observance of the One Hundredth anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln and on the twelfth day Of February to participate in exer cises which will impress them with the lessons of the great life which was of such inestimable value to this Nation and to the cause of freedom every where. In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State to be affixed at Lansing, this twenty-sixth day of January, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and nine. FRED M. WARNER, Governor. ALUMNI PIN. T he long felt want for a suitable official college insignia bids fair to be supplied ere long by the student council, which is now working out a design for an official pin to be worn by alumni and members of the senior class. T he laqk of such em blem has, without question, been a serious drawback in unifying/alum ni spirit and interest. In the ab sence of such insignia graduates have had nothing but society badges to show their loyalty to by which these, bv the very the college and nature of their associations, tend to foster a sectional feeling rather than unite the alumni into a band with common interests. As no other organization has seen this very essential tit to take up question the effort of the student council to bring about the adoption of some official emblem deserves commendation.

TUESDAY, FEB'RT g, igog I T fitting this that is peculiarly college should take more than ordinary interest in the celebration this week of the centennial anniver sary of the birth of A b r a h am Lin coln and Charles Darwin, two char acters who stand out boldly on the pages of history. As a people we take pride in showing our appreci ation of the two emancipators, the lifting the burden of slavery one from our nation and thus upholding our inherent principle that "All men are born free and equal," the other freeing science from the bonds of creed and dogma '. but as a college we are brought into almost personal touch with each of these great men. , It was Lincoln who, weighed •down by the greatest cares that a chief executive of our country has ever been called upon to bear, har- rassed and tormented by political enemies and with his great heart bleeding for the suffering of others, w ho took time to consider and sign the bill which congress in the very heat of struggle had found time to frame and pass giving to each of the states a generous share of the public domain for the founding and endowment of agri cultural and mechanical colleges. It was Darwin who, broken in health, in the face of opposition of church and creed, with almost no ad herents and a host of critics, cooly worked out the Origin of Species against almost un- surmountable obstacles and gave to us the key of science which unlocks the hidden mysteries of the develop ment of plant and animal life. the principles of that great To this college and colleges of like nature comes the opportunity their on Friday next of showing appreciation and admiration of two of their greatest patron saints.

Miss Louise Frev- hofer, who has for years had charge of the chorus has found it necessary to lighten her work for this year, and therefore Mr. Killeen has been engaged to assume the duties con nected with the chorus and the An nual May Festival. in E u r o pe T he college is fortunate in being able to secure M r. Killeen for this work. During Professor Stanley's last year Mr. absence the Ann Killeen had charge of Arbor Choral Union three.- hundred voices. He is the Assis tant Director of the Choral Union and Director of the University Glee Club of forty voices, and also has of charge of Roman Catholic church Arbor. the Chorus Choir of the in A nn than T he M. A. C. Chorus, although smaller last year, has been doing, very good work thus far, and from with continued good work now until May it is expected that this year's festival will be a great success. T he Chorus.is now affili ated with the Liberal A r ts Union which should be an added assurance of the success of the May Festival. the T he business management of May Festival will be assumed by the Board of Director of the Liberal Arts Union in co-operation with the financial committee of the Col lege Chorus.

T he book is a revision of Prof. Wilson's book published two years ago, and was intended primar ily for use in the drawing classes at M. A. C. It has, however, already been adojDted as a text book in sev including eral schools and colleges Union College, N ew Y o rk ; Miami University, O h i o; University of Illinois; Technical H i gh School, Atlanta, Ga., and a normal - school at Waukesha, Wisconsin. In a review of the book a recent issue of Machinery says : ' 'The book differs to a considerable extent from the common standard text books on mechanical drawing in re gard to both arrangement and con tents and it contains some material not heretofore discussed or but little dwelt upon, in existing books on the subject. It will make a strong appeal to practical men inasmuch as it differs in its methods from those still in vogue in many col leges where the elementary training con sists merely of a collection of exercises in purely geometric drawing. This book presents a method where these exercises are reduced to a minimum and their where practical problems take places." T he book is published by the authors.
