T he comparatively mild winter led several species to remain here which usually go farther south and return early in March. Robins wintered in some numbers in certain parts of the state, and a few of these, together with song sparrows and crows, were seen and heard all through January and February in least one this vicinity, while at bronzed grackle or crow-blackbird remained about the college campus most of the winter. T h is makes it difficult to deter mine just when the northward mi gration of these species actually be gan, but there was -a considerable increase in the number of crows about F e b. 25, and robins and song sparrows appeared in some numbers on March 6 and 7. T he first blue birds and meadowlarks were seen on the 7th inst., the first red-should ered hawks on the 10th, and red- winged blackbirds (males only) on the 13th. Bronzed grackles and mourning doves usually come by the end of the first week in March, but as yet have not been seen; doubtless they will be here within a few days. Other species which are also overdue are the cedar w a x- wing, woodcock and killdeer. Agricultural College, March 15, 1909. W A L T ER B. B A R R O W S. E i g ht more days this term. T he R e t u r n i ng alumni and those ac quainted with past conditions in and about the college remark upon the rapid g r o w th and the extent of the improvements contemplated in. the settlement about the college, now dignified as a city of the fourth class by virtue of a special act of the leg islature in 1907. T h is action was brought about at the request of a majority of the citizens of the com munity w ho believed that their in terests could be much better con served by some such organization. improvements desired, and which the continued g r o w th made necessary for the general health of the community, were an efficient drainage system, a sewer system, and a water works system. T h e re was also need for better streets, uni form sidewalks, and, of far greater necessity, some general plan of mu nicipal improvement with officers these with authority to carry out plans. T he need of these improve ments was still further emphasized In" a decision that the college had no authority to furnish water and sewer privileges to private parties outside the grounds, which it was doing to some extent. By the terms of the act the col lege campus is included within the city limits but, as state property, it comes very little under the authority of the city while, as it already has its own water and sewer systems, it is under no obligations to the city these utilities. Di for furnishing rectly then the college is but little benefited by the city. Indirectly it is benefited by the betterment of the surrounding sanitary conditions, the consequent betterment of the rooming and boarding facilities and tone of the the general upward community. On the other hand the city receives no taxes from the college in return for such services as it renders. late years But it must be remembered that the city is the result of the college rather than the reverse. It is only that in comparatively homes have been erected about the college and even now the majority are homes of those wffio are con nected either directly or indirectly with the college or w ho keep stu dent rooming houses. Without the college then the city probably could not exist, while on the other hand the college could, by providing more dormitories, and dwellings for its faculty, continue with its present enrollment but under great disad vantage. In other words, the col lege is greatly indebted to the city and of course is especially interested in any public improvements which tend to add to the comfort and healthful surroundings of its stu dents. In fact, with its present dormitory facilities the college can accommo date only about one-third of its reg ular students. Outside those wffiose homes are in Lansing practically all live with E a st of Lansing private families and room ing houses. the remainder A question which has arisen with the organization of the city regard the taxation of property held ing by the various literary societies is one which is commanding consider able attention. these societies own real estate in East Lansing. O ne has a valuable prop erty, others live in rented houses, and still another owns a house situ ated on the campus on a plat of Several of the ground rented from the college for a term of years. These properties, to tax. the city claims the right On societies the other hand claim exemption on the ground that they are educational associations. Inasmuch as authorities differ and the decision in this case in all prob ability will stand as a precedent for years to come, neither side feels dis posed to yield, and the outcome will probably be a friendly suit to de^ termine a course to be pursued in the future. ASSOCIATION NOTES. Y. M. C. A. Next T h u r s d ay evening occurs the annual election of officers of the Y o u ng Men's Christian Associa tion, and it is the desire of all those interested in the association that as large a number of the fellows be present as possible. A great deal of the success of the organization on the campus depends on the effi ciency of those w ho are selected to the work, and a plan and execute large attendance that evening will help to insure that the proper men are elected. N e xt Sunday evening those w ho attend the union meetings will be treated to a change of program, which will interest every one. A few years ago. there was a custom of having a "student night1' the latter part of the year, and of having sev eral students chosen to take charge of the meeting for that week. this through Sunday evening the program will be given over the Phillipine to Mission study class that has been conducted term by Prof. Myers. T h is course has been one-of the most interesting and suc cessful mission study classes, ever conducted at the college, and all those who enrolled at the start of the term have been keenly interested throughout. Necessarily men enrolled in the several different courses in the col lege have met with each other in this work, and each man has been given features of the problems that coincided with the work he was specializing in his every day classes. F or instance, the forester has been given the Phillipine forestry prob lem, and the civil engineer has stud ied the engineering problems these islands. in In this way, the ground has been covered and a more thoroughly than interesting great deal more were some other plans followed, and next Sunday each man is to give a different phase of the work there, and all w ho attend this meet ing will come away somewhat wiser in regard to, and more interested in, the work carried on in the Philli- pines.
