U;niversity of Virginia laid claim to the oldest so-, ciety,and only recently was the inat- ter finally settled in favor of Michi- gan. From 1858 to 1870 the asso- ciation proved an active factor in college life, and at the latter date opened its doors to women as soon as they were admitted to the Uni- versity. For a number of reasons they did not take an active part in the work of the society until in '74 Alice Freeman, then a sophomore, entered the association, and soon succeeded in bringing the women into the work to such an extent that ever since they have been an im- portant part of its working force. It is a significant fact that the as- sociation was founded by one who has since become president of Fisk University, Adam K. Spence, and that the woman who contributed most to its success at a later period, became the honored president of Wellesley. In 1883 the association celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary, and as a result of intense interest then aroused, a building fund was started; this, however, made slow progress until the generosity of Mrs. Helen Newberry enabled the work to prs- ceed. Finally, at the close of 'go- '9g, the building was completed ansi dedicated. Before tis time room g, in the south wing, had been the headquar- ters, and naturally the opening of the new hall has greatly increased the work. This year, in addition to the regular opening work of helping new students to set- tlie,a religious census has been taken, the results of which will soon be compiled and published. Also from this a register, showing addresses of all students, has been made. This is being very largely used, and is only one of the many ways in which siows th e folwing classs: i.

Women of Sacred History,(ladies only) Friday, 5 p. m., Mesdames Cobern, Angell, Stevens, Gelston, and Carhart. so. Christian Evi- dences, Prof. Scott. These classes are open to all, whether students or not, and the only expense is a contingent fee of twenty-five cents a semester. In addition to this, Oct. 28 to 30, there will be a Bible Institute, con- ducted on the plan so successfully carried out during the past two years. Prof. Votaw, of Chicago University, will conduct the New Testament work, and Prof. Price, of the same institution, will give work on the Old Testament. Besides these Pro- fessors Belser and Dewey will speak on st>ecial subjects. No other college in America, which does not have Bible study in its curriculum, and few that do, offer as great advantages in that line as are given here. In other ways the association is extending its work. In view of the campaign the number of dailies has been increased and a large number of other periodicals, both weekly and monthly, has been added to the reading room. For three years the support of an alumnus of the University, Dr. Grant, a missionary in China, has Concluded on third page. Prof. Asaph Hall jr occupies the chair in astronomy- this year, and one so earnest in his workc ran- not fail to rnler it even more in- ierestin s than it has ieen heretofore. Prof. Hall is a man of w1d0e1e- pri nice, having prepared at ale and Hlarvardl, and having been in crge of the naval olservatory at \Vashington, which position tie re- signed in order to come to Ann Arbor. He is beginning his work here by having all the instruments taken apart, thoroughly cleaned and care- fully readjusted. There have been as yet no appli- cations for advanced work in astro- nomy, but the other courses have been well favored. Prof. Hall has charge of the theo- retical work, while the practical is looked after by Mr. E. L. Allor, whom many will recognize as mem- ber of the class of '92. Mr. Allor is from Mt. Clemens. He assisted Mr. Hussy with the practical work last year and has been appointed instructor in that line. THE CAMPUS. W. H. Merner, '92 lit, has re- turned to take law.
