ENROLLMENT TO REACH 1500. at to According the statistics the office of Miss Elida Yakely, registrar, there were 1,437 students registered last F r i d ay n i g ht and it is confidently believed t h at it will total 1,500 by t he time all of the old men are back. At this time there were 487 freshmen who h ad registered, distributed among the various divisions as follows:. Agricul ture, 229; engineering, 132; home eco nomics, 119; veterinary, 7. The strik ing t h i ng about the newcomers is the large increase in the n u m b er of women to enroll, fully 25 per cent, more reg istering in this freshman, class t h an a year ago. The Home Economics Di vision h as been receiving, very deserv edly, some good advertising the past year and it is quite probable t h at t h e re will be much growth in t h is direction in the future. institutions It is a noticeable fact in t he enroll m e nt t h at t he number of s t u d e n ts com ing from other l a r g er t h an usual.

Prof. J. A. Poison figuring on the h e a t i ng for t he new building incident and the rush of registration to the Dean's duties this past week has delayed m a t t e rs somewhat. The plans for the complete s t r u c t u re u n d er con sideration call for a building the form of an E, the front to be 338 feet long, and the two wings to extend back 150 feet. The location of the building h as been decided upon quite in acord- ance with the extensive plans of Olm sted Brothers, landscape architects of Boston, for the increase in the campus and buildings of M. A. C. This places the n o r t h w e st corner of the gym. to the south of the drill ground and j u st to the southeast of the group of ever greens which stand nearby road leading field.

This fact will give some idea of the size of the build ing, especially when coupled with t he figures of $182,000 which the new ag ricultural building cost. The m a in g y m n a s i um will be located in the front include a 16 section which will also lap track. The n o r t h w e st wing will house t he bath room and lockers.

C, as p r i n t ed in the RECORD for last week should give a very clear idea of t he place t h at M. A. C. is at t e m p t i ng to rill in the s u m m er school work. The fact that there was an in crease in enrollment over a year ago t h at of 52 per cent, seems to indicate we a re proceeding in t he r i g ht direc tion. Practically but one-fifth of those in attendance in both years were back in credits. A much larger n u m b er of THE M. A. C. RECORD. M. A. C. g r a d u a t es were in attendance this year. In spite of the increase, however, it seems t h at the s u m m er session h as not as yet been satisfactorily adver tised. Several persons in attendance this past summer, upon being asked why there were not more from com munities which they represented, said t h at teachers did not know about it. This is where t he g r a d u a t es and form er students of M. A. C. have a respon sibility. You people who know about the s u m m er school at M. A. C, who know of t he peculiar advantages which this lines institution h as along the which are pursued d u r i ng t he s u m m er term, should get behind this new effort of M. A. C. with all your power. By your help only can we do the greatest good. " Y" WORK STARTS WITH RUSH. Not for several years has the Y. M. C. A. started out with such push and vigor as seems to be manifest this fall; F or the first time in six years the "Y" is to have a permanent secretary who will devote ail his time to t he work, and in the person of D. C. Heffiey, a g r a d u a te of t he N o r t h w e s t e rn Univer sity last June, this organization prom ises to have very efficient leadership. Mr. Heffiey h as h ad four years' experi ence in city Y. M. C. A. work and last year was president of t he Y. M. C. A. at Northwestern. The first help t h at t he new men re ceived at t he h a n ds of t he Y. M. C. A. was the baggage checking room at t he bookstore, where they were also direct ed to registration headquarters. An other i m p o r t a nt aid to the college men is the S t u d e nt Employment Bureau which will be m a i n t a i n ed at t he Y. M. C. A. rooms by Hiller and Newlon un der the direction of Secretary Heffiey. The various departments at t he college are co-operating in this work to the extent t h at in the last two weeks 103 applicants have been placed in 105 jobs. The principal aim of the Bureau is to take especial care of those men who need "The right m an for the j o b" is their motto. The State Board h as appropriated $500 for this work. financial aid most. The fixed fee for membership in the Y. M. C. A. has been done away with so that everyone- will feel free to at tend the meetings. Financial support will be obtained by solicitation. As a the result of "Y" workers report a very large en rollment, practically fifty per cent, of those who come in for handbooks sign ing up. this new a r r a n g e m e nt The social activities of the Y. M. be gan last F r i d ay night when a "Hello" meeting was held in t he Armory, with some 350 m en in attendance. There will be a joint reception of the Y. M. and Y. W. this week F r i d ay at the Armory. The Bible study campaign will take place October 7-10, and the local m en will be assisted by Mr. Kingsbury,, ad vertising m a n a g er the Diamond Crystal Salt Co., who will address t he "Y" meeting October 7, and Mr. J. E. Kuizenga, of the U. of M., who will speak at the Union meeting, October 10th. of BAND SLATED FOR JUNKET. It is very possible t h at the M. A. C. band will get a chance to t a ke a nice automobile trip this week F r i d ay when t he Lansing auto owners and those of the s u r r o u n d i ng t e r r i t o ry get together for a trip to Grand Rapids along t he proposed Paved Highway. With this in view there h as been some tall hust ling since school opened on t he p a rt of Director Clark and Assistant Director (appointed at one of the E. C. Kiefer Board meetings this s u m m e r) to get the band boys picked and into shape. And this is no small job, with more t h an 75 applicants for positions, about one-third have to be of whom will weeded out. About 40 of t he men o ut are veterans but Prof. Clark h as prom ised t h at some of them will have to work hard if they keep their old posi tions. A fine set of cathedral chimes h as been added to the band equipment this summer. This will m a ke t he band much more effective in concert work. We all know that it is the best in t he country, but Prof. Clark is always working for something better. There h as recently appeared in t he J o u r n al of the American Chemical So ciety a contribution from the chemical laboratory of the Michigan Agricul tural College in the form of a treatise on ' The Toiyl E s t e rs and Toluidides of the Nitrosulfonic Acids of p-Xylene," by Ralph C. Huston. The work which tnis paper represents is a continuation of the work done by Prof. Huston for his doctor's degree. Yes, Prof. F. S.

It has rendered very valuable service to the veterinary and livestock inter ests of the state. When the veterinary division was established ten years later, it found the field of pathology the bacteriology department. under This work had been carried on by this department because it had been in charge of trained veterinarians as well as good bacteriologists. The field of pathology, however, seemed to belong to the veterinary division rightfully and without this opportunity, the divi sion must be kept back, in Michigan. In view of the above facts, I recom mend: the that "First, That there be established in the veterinary division, a department of anatomy and a department of ani- latter may pathology, and branch be transferred from the bac teriology department.

Her heavy eyes gleamed on me full Behind their fringe of black, Her olive skin lay wrinkled Where the years had left it slack, Her teeth flashed out their smile of youth That knew no age or time— Her face had all the marks of youth, Her smile was youth sublime. Her scrawny yellow hands flung back Her brilliant purple shawl, And reached toward me as tho to catch And hold me in their sprawl. ""Your fortune, Miss?" Her earrings danced— "I tell your fortune true." Her lips smiled on, her eyes held mine, She looked me thru and thru. Mutely she seized my upturned palms As tho their lines to trace, She glanced them o'er, but ever looked Once more into my face— "Good fortune, good." She shook aside Her shining blue-black hair, And told my present, future, past In language rich and fair. From out a garden rank with weeds She gathered blossoms fine— "Your past," she said, and gave them me; They were not really mine. From out the failure of today She plucked some buds most rare— •"Your present," quoth she gleamingly; They were, indeed, too fair. My future, then, she sang to me— The song of heart's desire, Of all the joys that earth could hold, Or love of life inspire. She fixed me with her heavy eyes, And slashed the veil in twain— I saw the dreams of years come true; I had not dreamed in vain. "And you allowed the gypsy witch To tell your fortune true?" "And you believed the stuff she told?" And thus their scoffing grew. "Why not believe the best?" I asked; "The things she told to me Were not as life has been, or is, But as it best might be." She'd lived long years beneath the skies Near Nature's golden heart, She'd read the moaning of the winds, She knew the sunset's art— And may she not have learned to know The meaning of the years, This gypsy crone with blue-black hair, And eyes too deep for tears? —Rose Coleman. f 6 the work in every detail.—The follow ing persons were given title of associate professor: G.
