"A grand j a m" character ized the advance seat sale for the "college night" performance of "Campus Days," the Union Musical Revue, Saturday. Before 2 o'clock in the morning a line started to form in front of the armory and by 8 o'clock more than 200 students were waiting for their turns to interview two men who had appeared on the scene with multi-colored pasteboards. The seat sale for "Campus Days" which will' be presented at the Gladmer by the M. A. C. Union March 3 and 4 caused the undergrads to shake warm beds and breakfasts so that they might be among the early birds. A few even stayed up all night. Societies, in order to get blocks of seats, worked a shift system which kept them well along in the line with out undue sacrifice oh the part of any one man. F or the first night at the Gladmer the seat sale will be held at the box office of the theater Tuesday, March 1. The managing board of the play has left the entire sale for the first show in the hands of the theater management. Mail orders will be filled and unsold seats for the Friday night perform ance will also be available. The proceeds of the production which is to be given in Grand Rapids on March 5 and in Owosso Feb. 28 are to go to the Union Memorial Building.

The stack of the new power plant is completed ex ternally, and the huge letters "M. A.

It is expected that the boilers will be in stalled by next fall. When the plant is -com pleted, both the lighting and heating capacity on the campus will be doubled. The new stack is 200 feet high and dominates by 50 feet or mere the water tank which formerly was the "tall man high" of the campus pro file.

On this day sixty-four years ago, old College Hall, then the "College" was dedicated to the teaching of agriculture—the first building of its kind in the United States to be set aside for such a purpose. President Abbott, who was present at the dedication service, in an address given some years later, described the "Campus" of that time. "The Michigan Agri cultural College," he said, "consisted of Col lege Hall, a boarding house, a brick barn,— forest all there were—in a clearing where stumps of trees came up to the doors of the building."

The College has cost live stock in $100,000 a year, while it has returned millions not to mention the graduation of 3300 young men and women in engineering, agriculture, veterinary medicine and home economics. This has been accomplished with a relatively small expenditure for buildings and permanent equipment. the state of Michigan improved crops and better L e n a w ee Aggies to Organize. M. A.
