A PEN OF SCOTCH white leghorns, five fe males and two males, believed to be the first Scotch birds to be procured by any agricul tural college in the country for experimental purposes, was received last week at the Poul try department at M. A. C. from Glasgow, Scotland. These birds are about half as large again as the American leghorn, and Prof. Burgess expects to cross them with the Amer ican strain and develop a larger bird which will be more hardy for northern sections of the state. He also hopes with this crossing to produce a 300 egg hen. T he high record at the college is now 267 eggs. These leghorns are of the Minorca type.

C. have an alumnus of Purdue first Union for theatrical undertaking. Hentry T. DeHart, '17 of Purdue, wrote the piece and the music, gave it gratis to the Union, and then, at the last minute when a professional director failed of appearance, he jumped in and di rected it through to the finish. He and Mrs. DeHart gave practically all of their time to the work as the finishing touches were being administered, and gave it without compensa tion. The thanks of the Union and alumni are offered them. A second and most spirited handshake is theirs when it is known that be tween one and two thousand dollars has been netted the first show for the Union from Memorial Building. And to Professor King, Professor Burner, Miss MacCornack and others of the collegt staff who assisted and to the 140 students .about equally divided among young men and women who did the work, also "is extended the sincere "thank- you" of alumni. The undergraduates who gave so much of their time and efforts have carried the thing across with the feeling that they were doing it, not for personal glory, ,but for M. A. C. During the grind of rehearsals, on the trips and in the relaxation after it was all over there was a splendid spirit shown—a spirit that all M. A. C. may be proud of. In "Campus Days" the college has been given something which she should be happy to retain as a permanent annual fixture among student activities.

Dear M a c: I cannot express to you in a few words, how "big" the show "went over" in Grand Rapids, the thought of everyone is that, it is the best college play ever seen. It was al most professional and a lot better than most professional shows of its kind. It would be a shame not to take the show to Kalamazoo, Jackson and Detroit "or at least one of these towns, by all means Detroit; even though you only make expenses. To you, DeHart and the managing board, are due a lot of credit for putting over a talking "hum-dinger." All Grand Rapids about the in estimation of most people about one thousand percent. is it. And M. A. C. has risen I will endeavor to come down for the 19th but do not know definitely now. sincerely, Yours Arthur D. Wolf '13. March 8, 1921. Dear Mr. McKibbin : Believe me we Grand Rapids M. A. C. folks are sure proud of the showing Campus Days made here Saturday and the impression it left in the town. In the first place, the whole performance was far beyond anything we had hoped for. We were in school, you know, once upon a the collossal mistake of time and we made expecting about what we used to be able'to stage.

RECORD place. And personally, the possi bility of collecting so much talent in so many different lines in many colleges. I doubt The effect here is that M. A. C. has taken this place into camp. The music, singing, and dancing siire was great. Those pretty, clever and capable girls can have anything they want in Grand Rapids and while we will admit that the boys had some real voices, stage ability and managed the whole deal in a most un usually capable manner, we have taken occa sion to reflect around home that we can't see the necessity of so many remarks about their physiques, faces and futures. The alumni just feel like telling everybody they see that they're from M. A. C. We're proud of it. M. A. C. has made good again. Grand Rapids people have had to them that M. A. C. is made up of a good jolly bunch of looking, vigorous, capable, young men and women who are really getting all around training. And the result is going t o be that Grand Rapids folks will want theit sons and daughters to go there and the boys and girls will want to. it proved Again I say the Grand Rapids alumni are delighted with the showing made here.

A working knowledge of busi ness taught by business men T H IS much: T he university gives a man a background of general informa tion; the Alexander Hamilton In stitute gives him the specific tools with which he is to work. He may enter the sales depart ment of a business, and if he does, his danger will be that he may. become an expert salesman or sales manager and nothing more.

This Institute gives him—out of the experience of the leaders of business—an all-round work ing knowledge of ^//departments; sales, accounting, costs, factory and office management, transpor tation, advertising, corporation finance and the rest.
