N O. 9 NEW ALUMNI OFFICE AND GEN ERAL COLLEGE INFORMA TION BUREAU. Attention of the Alumni and all vis to itors at M. A. C. is hereby called the new alumni h e a d q u a r t e rs and gen eral information bureau which h as been established at the College Book store building or W a i t i ng Room, in the room occupied some time ago by the M. A. C. Book Store, and lately by Harvey's Photo Shop. This new office is established for t he p r i m a ry purpose of being of service, not only to the alumni, but to college visitors who may have only a short time on the campus and who may not be informed as to layout of buildings and grounds. A circular of informa tion is being prepared which will con tain a map of the campus and general facts r e g a r d i ng the college. The office is fitted with both phones and baggage may be left t h e re without fear of pil fering. One of the prominent features of office equipment is the alumni reg ister which every visiting former stu dent is expected to sign. F or such a purpose as this college authorities could find no more conven ient place. It is handy to the car line and alumni can find no excuse for not m a k i ng t h e ir visits known. Try us out and see if we cannot serve you.

She was a de lightful visitor and until the past two or three years, when impaired eyesight hindered, she was a great reader of good books, and was r e m a r k a b ly well versed literature, history and politics, a nd she enjoyed quoting from memory long passages from h er favorite authors. She especially en joyed the calls of former students of Dr. Miles and never tired of recount ing the experiences of early days at M. A.
