This aid the in in Taking full cognizance of the economical streak of the legislature, the Board agreed to abandon the special appropriation it asked for and threw all its power in support of t he fifth mill, which, after the first year, is considerable better t h an the sixth mill plus the special gymnasium appropriation which the House had agreed to. in until all the money necessary Under ordinary circumstances no building can be engaged to com-' plete the operation is on h a nd before the building is commenced. But while this bill carries no special appropriation it does specify t h at under special conditions, a building may be started before ell the funds are on hand. This special provision will make possible the s t a r t i ng of a gymnasium, which will probably be the first build ing started, as soon as plans can be drawn up. for buildings at M. A. C, Of course, this action of the legislature does not give M. A. C. the amount of money she could have used to good advantage, but it is a step in the right justify direction and will be a large enough help to a real celebration whenever two or more friends of M.

In the railway station at Lansing he met Lawrence Queal, '11, and wife, who had been in Lansing at the occasion of the marriage of Albert Frutig, 'llf, to Miss Mary Winans, on April 10th. Mr. and Mrs. Frutig will be at home in Coeur de A'lene, Idaho, after June 1st, visiting the Panama Exposition in the meantime. The birth of a nine and one-half pound daughter to George Merrill, ex- '11, and wife, of Hamburg, Mich., on April 1st, was In Ann Arbor the another bit of news picked up. writer called on A. C. Digby, "03, who is a very suc cessful grocer, later on C. H. Redman, '88, who was found with a bunch of over fifty other engineers working on the D. U. R. appraisal. Among these engineers it developed that several were M. A. C. men, some of them working in the same room with other M. A. C. men whom they did not know as be ing from the same school. Among those at work were George F. Bristol, a student at M. A. C. in '86- '88, afterwards a civil engineer with the P. M. Ry. Co., living in Grand Rapids, later a very successful contractor in Grand Rapids, which work he left for the appraisal work. Clarence A. Stimpson, '05m, was working with Bristol. In another room were Burt- will Harvey, '13e, (star outfielder and hitter on two 'varsity teams); Frank E. Phelps, '14; C. G. Baker, ex-'13. While this trip was primarily a business trip, it added a good deal of pleasure to meet these M. A. C. people and talk over things in common, and this little sketch is given to show that anyone, no mat ter where he goes, can always find some M. A. C. people who would be glad to pass a few minutes with him. This brings up the advisability of having a complete working list of the addresses of all people who ever attended M. A. C, which is the ideal we hope to attain sometime. At the present the editor will be very glad to furnish addresses, as far as he is able, to anyone making an extensive trip. The value of knowing tne addresses of M. A. C. people for purely social purposes is a very small item com pared to the value which might accrue to M. A. C. if all county agents and extension men had complete lists. APRIL BOARD MEETING. The regular monthly meeting of the State Board of Agriculture convened last Wednesday at the Col lege with President Snyder, Messrs. Wallace, Doherty, Woodman, and Graham present. Dean Shaw was given permission to visit two ex periment stations, probably which two will be Woos- ter, Ohio, and either Illinois or Iowa. Authority was given to employ C. H. Burgess, now of the chemistry department, as head of the poultry department for the next year. The resignations of Miss Agnes Hunt, professor of domestic science, and Harmon Wright, assistant in bacteriology, were accepted. The recommendation of Dean White that the posi tion resigned by Miss Hunt be offered to Miss Mary E. Edmonds, of the University of Montana, was ap proved. A request of Miss White for installation of a pas senger elevator in the Women's Building and for the building of a cistern in order to provide soft water at the Women's Building was approved. Both of these will be great step savers for the girls. Frances W. Sly, '02, has charge of the household science at the Lockport township high school, Lock- port, 111. Prof. Halligan has had charge of the extensive shrubbery plantings which have been made in the vicinity of the new Veterinary clinic this last week. This and Prof. Gunson's work on the new roads and lawn around this building will add one more beauty spot to the campus. The annual germ is around early this year. Miss Arda Strong, a senior, has announced her engage ment; also the engagement of Miss Helen Kennedy, senior, to F. H. Reed, an instructor in chemistry, has been made public; also the engagement of Ruth Price to Fred Massey, both juniors. Another is the en gagement of Dr. Hibbard, of the botany department, to Miss Dora von Walthausen, former instructor in French. Dr. W. J. Beal sends the following as "Something for M. A. C. to Think Over:" Massachusetts Agri cultural College has plans nearly perfected to begin, a year from next June, to adopt a new scheme to teach students forty weeks in a year and graduate them in three years, instead of four. There are numerous points in favor of the scheme especially in botany, horticulture, and farm crops. Chicago University has tried the scheme for 25 years and seems to like it. Students of Christian Science, both men and women, hold weekly meetings Thursday evenings in the parlor of the Woman's Building. Miss Marion' Leonard, '15, is president of this organization. The M. A. C. Band played at the Thursday night session of the meeting of the school superintendents of Michigan. This session was held in the Lansing high school auditorium. Much favorable comment for the work of the band was heard. The fine work of the band is also apparent on the campus every Monday at regimental parade and every Tuesday at battalion parade. Next Tuesday night the band will participate in a concert at the Lansing Woman's Clubhouse. The spring term elections to the Omicron Nu have been announced. Miss Bessie Hoover, a graduate of Leland Stanford, who will receive her M. S. this June, is elected to honorary membership in the sor ority. The following active members have been senior; Pauline Coppens, chosen: Allie Bishop, Grace Martin, Bertha Puhle, Florence Stoll, Rose Coleman, Elda Robb, Margaret Hadden, Sadie Bates, juniors. The initiation occurred last Wednesday night following which a spread was enjoyed in the Wildwood Tea Rooms by 36 members. The M. A. C. chapter of the Omicron Nu, which was the Alpha chapter, is planning to entertain the Omicron Nu conclave May 14th and 15th. There are now six chapters eligible to representation in this conclave. The course in agricultural journalism, which is given two hours in the spring term and limited to ten people, is proving very popular again this year. Students who have taken the course think that it is one of the best minor courses offered in the junior and senior years. Many of them have submitted articles on agricultural topics to the best farm papers in the U. S. and these have been accepted with seem ing delight. In fact so much interest has been shown in this course that next year it will be offered for two hours each term throughout the entire year and will be open to 20 or more students. The course in ad vanced public speaking for students preparing them selves for extension work in agriculture is also ex citing much favorable comment. This was formerly limited to 10 students but has been enlarged to 20 this term. In this course the students prepare lec tures and talks, running to an hour in length, and give them before the class. 6 THE M. A. C. RECORD. HELP BOOST PORTRAIT FUND.

The game with Western Reserve last F r i d ay on the home field was the best exhibition of baseball seen this season up until S a t u r d ay when a still bet ter game was staged with Bethany College, of Hunt ington, W. Va. The work of M. A. C. in these two games proves t h at the boys are getting in better form as the season advances.
