Besides about 50 carefully chosen Fellows, the American Ornithologists Union has several hundred Members elected for their ability and many more associates, it being the only national organization of its kind in the country. At the annual meeting, all phases of bird work were discussed, and a whole session was given to moving pictures of birds in their native homes, showing how valuable the camera may be in getting facts about bird life. The annual meetings have always been held in one of the larger eastern cities in the past, but the one next November is to be held in Chicago. THE M. A. C.

The Irishmen opened up with everything they had, their offensive including accurate forward passing, smashing line plays, and speedy end runs. The result was disas trous from an Aggie point of view, the fact that they were going down before one of the greatest teams of a decade being but small comfort for the varsity. The scoring was evenly distributed, two touchdowns being checked up in each of the first three periods and one in the fourth. M. A.

The Name Question A Column for Open Discussion The question of changing the name of Michigan Agricultural College to make it more representative of its manifold branches of instruction is one which is continually raised, and is a source of constant irritation to grad uates of courses other than agriculture. To many engineering graduates it is nothing shorl of a festering sore. from Almost ten years ago graduates and students of the engineering course together with many the other courses organized followers themselves for the purpose of making a change in the name of the college to Michigan State College of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts, or a similar name which would be shorted into "Michigan State," or "State College" as so many similar Such a name, they maintained, would be an asset and not a hindrance to them when they went It out j n to is reported that their efforts failed at that time because of the fact that an appropriation bill was before the legislature and it was felt that such an attempt would jeopardize the chance of the college securing the pending appropria tions. So temporarily the whole matter was dropped, but it was settled by a "long ways. the world seeking positions. institutions are known. Within the past year the matter has been agitated considerably. Many letters have been the agricultural and penned both by men of engineering divisions. It is rapidly assuming proportions. Graduates of the home economics department whose numbers are swelling each year are also adding their voice to those of repre • the other divisions asking in sentation or rather the name of their Alma Mater. less misrepresentation for more This question of the name should be settled once and for all.
