The department of physics and electrical engineering occupies eight rooms of the first three floors in the west end of the Engineering Building. Four of these rooms are used for physics and four for electrical engin eering. A standards room has been developed in the last three years, more particularly for electrican standards, where the department can calibrate and standardize its own apparatus. The department is somewhat crowded because of recent increases in attend ance and new or additional quarters will have to be provided in the near future in order take care of the volume of work. to adequately THE M. A. C. RECORD. PRES. HAIGH ADDRESSES STATE BOARD. (Continued from page 3.) of many great and far-reaching ques tions, many of them affecting the wel fare of the college, the state and the nation. Here the venerable Hezekiah G. Wells, the efficient Abraham C. Prutzman, James Webster Childs and the kindly Franklin Wells devoted their time unsparingly to the advance industrial ment of agricultural and education. in Besides all these invaluable activities this historic that were housed structure, there is the further fact, which binds the old building with hooks of steel to the hearts of the older students, that every class from 1857 to 1.872 held all recitations here, held all meetings of every kind, here exercises and attended daily chapel regular Sunday services, and here pronounced their graduating orations and receivd their cherishd diplomas. Is it any wonder such a historic structure with such traditions, special ly when it is of still comely aspect, fine outline and beautiful location, should be dear to the hearts of the older members of the M. A. C. Associa tion? Nor is it any wonder that we are gratified because it is to be pre served. • As it is to be preservd, the natural question, which we all well know is for the Board to decide, is what is the best use to put it to? And it is upon this that the M. A. C. Association dele gates me to address you. I do not know how many of you have followed the proceedings of the M. A. C. Association at the last few meetings in their reference to College Hall. But, in brief, there has been recurrent suggestions and increasing hope expressed that College Hall might be in some way used as a home for the M. A. C. Association in con nection with a Union building, in which could be shelterd certain stu dent activities such as are provided for in Union buildings connected with many of our colleges. At the meeting held last June, a resolution was adopted recommending the use of College Hall for this pur pose, and a committee was appointed to have the matter in charge. Meet ings have been held and discussion has been had in the columns of the RECORD, by correspondence and other wise, so that the sub-committee, now appearing before you, feels assured is unanimous and very that there strong sentiment favoring this gen eral plan. The secretary will read these reso lutions, or submit them to you, with as much of the correspondence as you may desire. What we now wish to learn from the Board, since it is the final and only authority in the matter, is whether this old building, on being restored and put in permanent condition, may be devoted to this general purpose, 5 and what part the Board desires, or will permit, the M. A. C. Association to have in the matter. There has been a growth, or sort of progressive development of ideas as to the details of the plan for using Col lege Hall for this purpose. Soon after the adoption of the orig inal resolution last June, as president of the M. A. C. Association I wrote out for the RECORD a brief amplifica tion of the objects desired. This con the strengthening of the templated building by a steel frame, just inside the present walls, erected on secure footings, to which the walls could be secured, and so preserve the original general appearance of the exterior, a thing much desired; the fitting of the (cafe basement for eating purposes teria or boarding clubs); the mak ing of the first floor into a hall (pre serving the old chapel if possible and making ample room for the M. A. C. Association); the devoting of the sec ond floor to student activities, and the building of dormitory rooms on the third or upper floor. This general plan seemed much fav ored, as shown by letters in the REC ORD. that it was apparent At a joint meeting of the Executive Committee of the M. A. C. Association and the special committee on M. A. C. Union Building, held October 30th last, careful thinking had been in progress. A feeling had developd to some extent that the building should be priiharily devoted to the uses of the students at tending the college, since the institu tion exists for them and they can use it every day during the two hundred days of every college year, whereas the alumni will use it only about two days in each year. Upon this point letter from President Butterfield a proved illuminating, which letter I will ask the secretary to read to you. It was thought that while the base ment might well be used for serving meals, that the main floor should be devoted to student purposes, the sec ond floor perhaps turnd over to the M. A. C. Association, and the upper floor made into a large hall for social and other purposes. But the general conclusion of the matter was that further discussion of plans was premature, if not presump- tious, until the Board could be formal ly communicated with, their views consulted and their consent obtained. Thereupon this present sub-commit tee was appointed. We are authorized to pledge financial contributions from the M. A. C. Association sufficient to finish and furnish that portion of the building devoted to our use, if the plan meets with your favor. We sincerely hope that the Board in its wisdom will see its way clear, on restoring this building, to allow its use for the general purposes indicated, and that the M. A. C. Association, the graduates and former students may be permitted to contribute in some suit able way to the project, and to share, 6 in some its benefits. limited and proper way, in We would respectfully suggest t h at your Honorable Body determine, at your convenience, first, whether you will second, thing, w h e t h er a nd to w h at extent you will the co-operation of the M.

A. held a short campaign recently the to raize funds sufficient $250 budget which they had made up. The campaign resultd in mote money than they ever collected before by dues and it is believed that the full $250 will be raizd. to meet trains There will be no more farm demon stration in the Upper Penin sula. This ruling which has recently come from Prof. Baldwin, director of extension, is necessary from the fact that the Smith-Lever Act declares that no workers drawing pay under this act may accompany demonstration trains. The Trimoira Literary Society held a very pleasant dancing party in the Agricultural Building last Friday night. The music was furnished by Lankey's orchestra and the patrons were Mr. and Mrs. Cory and Mr. and Mrs. Dunford. E. 'F. Holser, R. E. Dinan, T. J. Smith, and E. R. Steele were the old men back. "Go into forestry for the love of the work" is what J. H. McGillivray, lec turer for the state game, fish and for estry department of Michigan, told the members of the Forestry Chib last Wednesday evening. This and other remarks, equally good, delivered in an easy, yet enthusiastic manner, made last week's Forestry Club meeting a fine one. C. M. Cade, of the Department of Civil Engineering, gave an illustrated lecture on work for the United States Government in Geological and Coast Survey, at the meeting of the Engin eering Society last week. After ex plaining the purposes for which this work is carried on, Mr. Cade gave his audience many interesting sidelights on the work from his personal experi ences. One feature of the Girls' Glee Club concert, which will be given some time this winter, will be the singing of an original song, if the contest which has been announced for the words and music .meets with success. The song must be submitted before Dee. 9. An announcement of interest to other music lovers is that the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, under the di rection of Stransky, will appear in Lansing some time this winter. The fall term Military was held in the Armory last Saturday night and was fully up to the high standard set by these parties in the past. They have come to be looked upon as the most delightful social functions of the year, with the exception of the "J" Hop. Patrons for the dance Saturday night were Sergeant and Mrs. Cross, and Prof, and Mrs. Saxton. The Lyric orchestra furnishd the music and the Armory was appropriately decorated with flags of all nations. THE M. A. C. RECORD. in An article on "An Indictment of Intercollegiate Athletics" by President William F. Foster of Reed College, Oregon, the November Atlantic Monthly, gives a scathing denunciation of intercollegiate athletics. It is worth reading by unprejudiced persons. The first paragraph, which is as follows, challenges attention: "Intercollegiate athletics provide a costly, injurious, and excessive regime of physical train ing for a few students, especially those who need it least, instead of inexpen sive, healthful, and moderate exercise for all students, especially those who need it most." By far the most interesting and well-gotten-up invitation that has ever come to our notice has just been re ceived from the Grand Rapids Asso ciation, announcing the banquet of that Association for December 7th, at 8 p. m., at the Association of Com merce. Anyone within striking dis tance who did not receive an invita tion wiil be welcome none the less, and arrangements for a plate can be made by directing a card to B. C. Por ter, Jr., 2000 Division Ave. S., Grand Rapids. President Kedzie, Dean Shaw, Coach Maeklin, and Prof. King will be present from the college. The Columbians made merry at their annual fall party in the Agricul tural Building last Saturday night. The members of the 1915 football team were the guests of the evening and the patrons were Mr. and Mrs. Ryder, Mr, and Mrs. Sawyer, and Mr. and Mrs. Snow. The society and college colors were used in decorating and the footballs used in the games won with Michigan in 1913 and 1915 were on exhibition. One of the features of the evening was the distribution by means of drawing numbers of four boxes of candy. Those back were Arthur Sargent, Wade Weston, Donald Mc Millan, Donald Stone, Thaddeus Peter son, and Robert Brown. By far the largest number of agri cultural students this fall attended the meeting of the Farmers' Club held last week in the physics lecture room in the Engineering Building, to hear the subject of "Farm Lighting" dis cussed. The subject was introduced by Prof. C. W. Chapman of the physics department, who has done much in the past two or three years to interest the agricultural stndents along this line. H. A. Kinney, proprietor of the Lansing Storage Battery Co., and con sulting engineer on farm lighting, con tinued the discussion. Mr. Kinney has been connected with this kind of work continuously since 1889 and his remarks on the history of its develop ment were very interesting. He was one of the very early members of the American Institute of Electrical En gineers, his application being indorsed by Alexander Graham Bell. The Farm ers* Club should consider for tunate in securing two such able men to address it on such an all-important faze of modern scientific agriculture. itself 7 The Holiday Season is close at hand.
