These cards will then be kept on file by the M. A. C. Union to.be referred to when any such talent is required by any of the different college departments.

As in other communi ties, the supply has not kept up with the normal demand. But the scarcity of dor mitories and purchase of society houses has filled up more houses with students than formerly. However the real cause of the situation is that a great many people have come from Lansing to live in'the col lege city.

Fixing the amount which is to be raised for the Union Memorial Building, at half a.million dollars and employing the firm of Pond and ' Pond, Chicago architects who are the designers, of the Michigan, Union Building at Ann Arbor, as consult ing architects,' the "Executive Committee of the M. A. C, Association in its meeting in Lansing on September 14 carried out two of the desires of the Association as expressed in the resolutions adopted at Commencement time. Furthermore, they have taken an action which will meet the approval of every single alumnus and for mer student of the Michigan Agricultural College.. The - hiring of Pond and Pond as con- culting architects for the Union Memorial Building is a stroke which is particularly ' The Messrs. Pond pleasing to alumni. spent a great deal of time in designing the Michigan Union Building and any one who has observed the result of their work in Ann Arbor 'can not fail to be impressed with the excellence with which they have the carried out their ideas both as .utility of the building and the beauty of its architecture and decoration. The Pond Brothers are well known in'Chicago and have done some of its best buildings. They are at present engaged in the con struction of a two million dollar structure for the Chicago Womens Clubs. They are specialists in community and club build ings and their experience in the Michigan Union Building, which is the first of its kind in this country, will be invaluable to M. A. C: in the construction of its Me morial. to The Pond Brothers are graduates of the University of Michigan and for that rea son have» had a keen personal interest in the Michigan Union Building. This per sonal interest, -we feel certain, will con tinue in our own project because of our close relation to the University and fur ther because, unlike the Michigan Union, it will be the first building of any college in the country to accommodate both men and women on an equal basis. In establishing the amount Which is to' be raised for the Union Memorial Building the Executive Committee at $500,000, have won the hearty support of every alumnus and former student. For very soon after the original figure of $150,000 was decided upon, prices ; began soaring and it became evident that the type of building which would be worthy of alumni effort and enterprise could not be con structed-for that amount. A great many graduates wrote in protesting against the meagerness of the figure and asking that if possible it be raised to at least $300,000. in costs of material Continued advances the half million and figure seem more the wishes of alumni. A great many subscrip tions were made last year with the condi tion that if the amount was increased, the subscriptions would he raised accordingly, some even went so far as to say that they would quadruple their individual subscrip tion if the amount was doubled. in keeping with labor now make With the $150,000 which was originally set out for, raised, alumni are now assured that the Union Memorial Building is an absolute certainty. The increasing of the amount to half a million dollars and the employment of Pond Brothers establishes the fact that not only will the building be a certainty but that it will be a structure of which every Michigan Aggie can be proud and in which everyone will wish to have a part, a those fitting men in whose memory it is being erected. tribute fo AGGIE GRIDDERS IN PRE-SEASON PRACTICE.

C. started fall practice in reality last Wednesday, 30 men answering the In addition to the regular morning call. and afternoon practice sessions, chalk talks and "inside dope" lectures are being administered to the Michigan Aggie foot ball squad. There is a business-like precision in the manner in which Clark grooms his squad. The athletes have been kept on the jump ever since the first call was sounded and the gridders are now almost ready to leap into the fray a'gainst Kalamazoo college, which will mark the official opening of the M..A. C. grid schedule Saturday afternoon on the Farmer field. Back Field Light. After nearly a week of practice the Aggie squad which now numbers 30 men has sifted out the men whose outstanding ability has been noticeable enough for the college dopesters to get a fairly accurate, line on, so that for the first time any really accurate dope on-the prospects and type of grid play could be estimated. A l o o k ' at the backfield shows at once that with the exception of "Big John" Ham- mes, who tips the beam at 190, the entire backfield will be made up of light and shifty players. Captain Springer who sel dom weighs over 140 and who heads the list of backfield material in splendid condition. This fast and shifty "little giant" can be depended on to carry the pigskin for a gain as well as pilot the eleven in master fashion. returned Big John Hammes, who was Walter Eckersall's choice for fullback on. the sec- ond all-western eleven, is the keystone of weight in the backfield. His ability as a line plunger as exhibited last fall and verified by his showings in yesterday's . scrimmage makes him look like a fixture at full. Freddy Wilcox has been show ing some mighty fast possibilities at quar ter. This lad's grid experience in an over seas eleven is making him show up as a clever pilot. like a Jake Brady mighty promising back. This youngster is stockily built and has lots of speed and ability. He won his grid monogram in t h e ' M. A. C. army team in the fall of '18, but entered college officially only last fall, making him ineligible for last year's varsity but enabing him to captain the All Fresh and win much admiration for his fast, brainy playing with the yearlings. Noblett is another promising candidate for •a berth at half. This lad has some fine records in varsity track made last spring and. his exceptional speed coupled with his ability to pick the holes makes him a for midable candidate for half. looks Coach Potsy Clark who is directing Aggie gridiron fortunes this fall. • New .Material Good.

This rangy young ster has never won his spurs in varsity football but from his appearance on the gridiron with the All-Fresh last season he looks like one' of- the most, promising yearlings in the Aggie outfit. Among the other promising recruits who are showing some ability in the backfield are Eddie, Shulligan, and Weckler. THE M. A. C.

This speedy fellow has shown much ability in getting under forward passes ' as well as being a fine defensive player. linemen who have • shown up well during the past week are Van Orden and Loeffler. Both have won two Aggie grid monograms, Loeffler in '1? and '19. and Van Orden in '18 and '19.

Morrison has been.doing some fine work at center during the past Week's drillings, while Thorpe and Swanson have more than held their own at guard 'and tackle. The three last season's All-Fresh recruits are out for end are Higgins, Finley, and Stewart.

RECORD. 15 "So shall you come easily by what Others have labored hard for" Thousands of Men have Proved that the Advice of Socrates Really Works in Modern Business Y EARS ago men began the study of law by sweeping out a law office. They began to learn sur gery by rolling bandages in a surgeon's office. Today the accumulated knowl edge of the lawyers and doctors who have gone before is given to men in schools of law and medicine. They step out into active life years ahead of where they would have been but for that training. To too many men, however, business is not yet a profession. It is a trade to be learned from the bottom up; they begin at the humblest tasks and too often rise not higher than a departmental position, because they have no vision of business as a whole, no mastery of all its various departments. Such men need the sound advice of one of the wisest men of the ages, Socrates, who said, • " Employ your time improving yourself by • other men's documents; so shall you come easily by what others have labored hard for." To come easily by what others have labored hard for—in that is the real secret of success. One Course: One Product—Executives T he Alexander Hamilton Institute was founded to do for men in business what the law school and the medical school do for. men in their respective fields. Its founders gathered together a group of men who were recognized as experts in business. Great salesmen; masters of costs and accounting; experts in office and factory organization and management; specialists in credit and in merchandising; in trans portation and corporation finance. Each of these leaders drew on his own experience and that of successful men in his field and all of them together evolved the Modern Business Course and Service—a training designed not to make men bet ter specialists but to make them what modern busi ness needs most and pays highest for-— executives. One Out of Three is a College Man In the succeeding ten years many thousands of men, representing every kind of business and every in business have tested the value of this position training and proved its worth. And' of this great army of successful men this is the significant fact—on$ out of every three is a college man. T he University of California has graduated 999 men who have enrolled for postgraduate work in the Institute; Cornell, 1,254; Yale, 8 5 6; Columbia, 6 0 4; and many others are from New York Univer sity, Wisconsin University, Amherst, and so on. How Much is a Year of Your Life Worth f Most college men succeed sooner or later, whether they have special business training or not. But the tragedy is that many a man of fine mind and college training wears out years of his life in a mediocre position when he might just as easily be doing larger, more profitable things. It is the splendid privilege of the Alexander Hamilton Insti tute to help men move more quickly from where they are ta where they want to be; to save the years that might otherwise be wasted.
