not  five  cities  in  this  country  where 
opera  may  be  heard,  but  from  one

In  order  to  bring  these  works  with 
in  the  reach  of  the  people,  many  of 
them  have  been  transferred

action  or  costumes.  T h is  change 
has  not  been  uniformly

THE  SCHOOL  FOR  SCANDAL. 

Prof.  K i n g 's  class 

in  dramatic 
impersonation  presented  Richard 
Brinsley  Sheridan's  comedy,  " T he 
School  for  Scandal,"  in  the  armory 
on  Friday  evening.  Nearly 
four 
hundred  students,  faculty  members 
and  friends 
turned  out  to  see  the 
play,  in  spite  of  the  fact  that  it  was 
a  stormy  night.  Each  member  of 
the  cast  acted  his  part  well,  display 
ing  very  careful  preparation  and  not 
a  little  dramatic  ability.  Prof.  K i ng 
and  his  class  should  receive  much 
credit  for  their  efforts  in  producing 
this  play,  which  was  a  pronounced 
success. 

T he  net  proceeds,  amounting 

to 
about  thirty  or 
thirty-five  dollars, 
will  be  turned  over  to  the  Holcad.

TRIENNIAL  REUNION. 

At  a meeting  of the  local  alumni 
x>n  Monday,  April  18,  further  plans 
for  the celebration  in J u ne  were  dis 
cussed. 
It was  decided  to hold  the 
alumni  banquet  in  the  pavilion  of 
the  new  Agricultural  Building,  also 
to  issue a directory of the  commence 
ment  events  for the use of  the vis 
iting  alumni.  Many  of  the  larger 
cities  have 
local  M. A. C.  alumni 
associations,  which  will  attend  the 
meeting  en  masse.  Grand  Rapids 
and  Detroit  are  expected  to  send 
large  delegations. 

T he  program,  which  will  be car 
ried  out on  Alumni  Day,  Wednes-
dav, J u ne  22d, is as follows  :  Pres 
ident's  address,  J u d ge  W. L.  Car 
penter  of  Detroit;  oration,  H o n.

T he  alumni  of  the  engineering 
division  will  celebrate  the  twenty-
fifth  anniversary  of the founding of 
that 
department  on  Wednesdav 
afternoon. 

HORTICULTURAL  CLUB. 

A  large  number  gathered  at  the 
Hort.  Club  last  Wednesday  evening 
to  hear  the  talk  on "Science"  bv D r. 
Marshall.  T he  doctor  is  always  a 
pleasing  talker,  and proved  equal  to 
the  occasion  at this  time.  T he talk 
was  a continuation  of  one which  he 
gave  the  club about  a vear  ago.  At 
the  beginning  he compared  science 
and  scientists  to  a  baseball  game, 
and 
thus  brought  out  clearly  the 
meaning  of  an authority.  He  then 
showed  how  each  one,  no  matter 
what  his occupation  may  be,  is just 
as  much  of a scientist  as the man in 
the  laboratory,  provided  he does his 
work  in a  systematic  way.  One  is 
co-ordinate  with  the  other.  Each is 
working  in his own  way for the  up 
lift  of the whole  race. 

After  the  talk,  apples  were  served 
and  a  pleasant  social  hour  enjoyed 
by all. 

DRAWING  E X H I B I T. 

A  circular  has  appeared  announc 
ing  the  second  annual  exhibit  of 
public  school  work  in  drawing  at 
the  college  on May  12,  13 and  14  un 
der  the auspices  of  the  department 
of  drawing  and  design.  T he  ex 
hibit  is to be held  upon  the occasion 
of  the interscholastic  meet  on  May 
14.  Last  year  a  large  display  of 
drawings  was  made,  but  it  is be 
this  spring 
lieved  that  the  exhibit 
wdll  far surpass  the last,  both  in  the 
number  of  drawings  and the char 
acter  of the  work. 

A  new  bulletin,  N o.  259,  entitled 
"Bean 
Production,"  by  W.  F. 
R a v en  is  n ow  being  mailed  out 
from  the experiment  station.  T h is 
bulletin  will  fill  a  long  felt  want as 
it  is the  first  work  on  beans  that has 
ever  been  produced  by  the Station, 
and  will  probably  be a very  popular 
publication.  T h is  crop  is  one of 
the  most  important  of  the  state as 
Michigan  furnishes  about  60 per 
cent,  of  all  the  beans  produced  in 
the  United  States.

bulletin,  N o. 260, 
"Seeds  of  Michigan  W e e d s ," is still

and  will  be a valuable  addition  to the 
list  of  experiment  station  produc 
tions. 

Special  bulletin  N o. 52, "  Corn 
in  the  U p p er  Peninsula  of  Mich 
igan,"  by  Leo  M.  Geismar,  Di 
rector  of  the  U p p er 
Peninsula 
Experiment 
Station,  is  now  in 
inter 
press.  T h is  is  of  special 
est  as  it  is the  first  bulletin  ever 
published  by this  sub-station.  Here 
tofore,  the  results  of  experimental 
work  at  Chatham  have  been  printed 
in  the form  of  annual  reports  only. 
T h is  publication  is  the  first  of  a 
series,  each  number  of  which  will 
solely  with  some  particular 
deal 
crop. 
It is commonly  believed  that 
corn  cannot  be  successfully  g r o wn 
in  the U p p er  Peninsula,  so  the in 
formation  contained  in this  bulletin, 
which  is the result  of  several  years' 
research  upon 
this  subject,  should 
be  of  special  value  to the  farmers of 
that  locality. 

T h e re  h as  been  a  phenomenal 
call  for  special  bulletin  N o.  5 1, 
"  Spraying  and  Practical  Outlines 
in  Fruit  Culture."  During  the last 
week  Dean  Shaw  has  received 
nearly  sixteen  hundred  requests by 
mail  for this  bulletin,  coming 
from 
farmers  all over  the State.  T h is  is 
largely  the result  of  the  extension 
work  in  horticulture  as  carried  on 
by  the  college  field  agent,  and  of 
. the  interest  awakened  among  the 
farmers  by the  institute  train.  T he 
press  of  the  State  has  also  made 
mention  of  this  bulletin  almost  uni 
versally. 

ANOTHER  STUDENT  ORGANI 
ZATION. 

A  student  volunteer  organization, 
known  as the  Public  Speaking  Club, 
has  recently  been  formed  at  M.  A. 
C.  T he  organization  has  for  its 
object  the advancement  of the  inter 
ests  of  public  speaking  in  the insti 
tution,  and should  be of great  value 
to  those  interested  in debate  or ora 
torical  work.  T he  membership  at 
present  will  be  limited  to  twenty-five 
men,  and is  to be  self-perpetual  by 
election.  T he club  will  hold  meet 
ings  the second  Wednesday  of  each

given.
