Of the 22,000 specta tors, 8000 M. A. C. students, faculty, alumni and fans witnessed the battle, the biggest fol lowing the Green and White has ever had on Ferry field. Over ninety percent of the college family of faculty and students were there in a body to root for the team, 1465 seats hav ing been reserved by Director Brewer, besides some tardy ones who got the "last-minute" fever. And the receipts from the game were the largest in the history of M. A. C.-U. of M. games. that were sold in Ann Arbor to the Our band simply "hit 'em in the eye" as one alumnus put it. When they marched out onto Ferry field between halves in their trim mili tary uniforms and putees, long and continued cheering emanated from the M. A. C. bleach ers, hats came off and the 22,000 spectators rose to their feet. After a snappy formation across the field and back accompanied by music, they stopped in front of the Aggie bleachers and formed the letters "M. A. C." Dr. W. O. Hedrick '90, who sat on the Michigan side in the special seats reserved for delegates present at the University for the inauguration of President Burton heard many very favorable comments from the represen tatives of the various colleges present. "One team I've seen play," said of the peppiest Judge Murphin, of Detroit, one of the Regents of the University of Michigan, "and I've never missed a-game on Ferry field since 1891." " T he fight song by Lanky '16 was the most distinctive song sung on the field that afternoon," said Dr. Hedrick, who is an "The Aggie institutions. alumnus of both the Michigan yells were most effective from side," remarked one of our former special students who happened to sit on the Michigan side, "and I was proud of M. A. C.'s fighting spirit, both on the field and in the bleachers." M. A. C. showed the winning spirit at this though the score year's annual classic, even board didn't. * * * THE CAMPAIGN STUDENTS FOR A great many have alumni enrollment this fall and inquiries from relative to the come in the success of the alumni campaign for stu dents. The former speaks for the latter. We do not propose to present any alibis or offer any excuses for the alumni cam: paign for more students or for the enrollment either. Except in a few localities the cam paign was a failure. It is true that the alumni campaign was not even broached until commencement time, after high schools had closed so that it was diffi cult to get high school graduate lists. It was generally commented that we got started too late in the year to make our efforts effective. However it is certain that in many localities alumni who were asked to work upon it failed to catch the significance and the spirit of the quest for more students. Let us call our first effort a failure, even though it served to bring this work which is so vital to the welfare of Alma Mater to,the attention of alumni. But let us take a new lease on the task this failure that will bring us to following an early start, an energetic pushing of the campaign and a successful finish next year.

Ferry Field was crowded for what might be called the first football classic in the state this season. to capacity Not only was the throng vast but it was one of the the most distinguished audiences that Aggies have ever had an opportunity of show ing their mettle before, for over on the Mich igan side in the center of the field sat 200 or more of the guests of the University who came from almost every institution of higher learning in America to witness President Bur the inauguration ceremonies earlier ton's week.

The collec tions made in the, course of these, explorations in the herbarium of the were deposited Botanical Department. the greater part of Dr. Wheeler's very extensive private herbarium was burned in the fire which totally the Botanical Building about thirty years ago. After he went to Washington this phase of botanical work was allowed to take second rank, while other lines of activity were pushed. T he results, how ever, had been great. Three editions of the Flora of Michigan (merely a list of plants known to occur in "the state) were published, the last in 1904: In general, it might be said truthfully that the distribution of plants in the Lower Peninsula was well worked out in its main features. The northern part of the peninsula was, however, rather unex plored except in spots and the Upper Penin sula was scarcely touched, except the Kewee naw Peninsula and the region about Chatham. still that from institution. In the past ten years the vicinity of the Biological Station of the University, at Doug las Lake, has been very intensively studied by botanists The Geo logical and Biological Survey has paid the expenses of several, men, in particular the late C. K. Dodge of Port Huron,,an amateur botanist of very high standing, for the study ing and collecting of plants in various parts of the state. Mr. Dodge studied the vicinity of Port Huron, the shores of the southern arm of Lake Huron, Mackinac Island, and White-fish Point and the Huron Mountains in the Upper Peninsula. Many problems of plant distribution still . remainded to be solved. Accordingly in 1915, Professor Darlington and the writer made a reconnaissance of the Muskegon Valley from Muskegon up to Big Rapids. a collecting trip was made in the same valley, starting at the source of the river, Higgins Lake, and touching at various points along the valley down to Muskegon. collected extensively in the vicinity of Alpena and along the shore of Tawas City, with some incursions into the "hinterland." In 1918 we In 1917 After the death of Mr. Dodge, the G e o -' Porcupine Mountains logical and Biological Survey turned to this college for cooperation in the botanical ex plorations of the state, and in 1919 we two spent August in Gogebic County, a portion almost never before visited by botanists. In particular we worked in the small lake region near the Wisconsin border, although some time was given to Gogebic Lake and a little to the vicinity of Ironwood and Bessemer. In 1920 Professor Darlington spent part of June in Gogebic County and a short time in Baraga County and I spent the latter part of June and most of July in the lake region of Goge bic County. Next year we hope to tackle the in Ontonagon County, a locality "of great botanical promise. All of this work is leading up to the pub lication of a Flora of Michigan, which shall include descriptions and full notes on the distribution of the Michigan plants, not be ing merely a list of species. Already P r o fessor Darlington has published a paper in * the Report of the Michigan Academy of Science on the Orchids of Michigan. A lim ited number of copies of this paper is availa ble for distribution at cost by the Botanical Department to those really interested in this group of very interesting and often exceed ingly beautiful plants. Miss Thompson is working up the Violets of the state, and P r o fessor Darlington is well along in a study of the grasses.

We are trying out a large number of varieties of plants, finding those adapted to the climate of S. E. Alaska. These are then propagated and distributed free to the settlers or residents. Also thru hybridization, more suitable varieties and types are being produced. The most progress so far has been made with strawberries. As far as scenery goes, this is a land filled with the best nature has to offer. One can not imagine a more beautiful combination of ocean, islands, mountains, rivers and forests. It is also a hunters' and fishermen's paradise; the forests with its bear, deer, grouse and ptarmigan; the lakes and streams full of trout and attracting the ducks and geese in the fall; the ocean with its hoards of halibut, salmon, and seal.
