Im- in the oratory .owing this fall neasure due to v arrangement he detail from sors Trueblood and the duties mnent too great The engineering shops of the uni- versity have been exceedingly busy during the past summer and fall mak- ing improvements in equipment and apparatus. Besides installing some new molding machines in the foundry, a new hydraulic televator connecting the yard with the force and machine shop floors, and designed for getting work in and out the building, has been installed by the instructors and work- men of the department. This new elevator is operated by a singularly unique method. For, together with the elevator used for lifting iron and fuel to the cupola furnace in the foundry, it is operated by a combined hydraulic and pneumatic system, a combination unique in its application. Connected with this elevator is a duplex pump, also designed and made in the engineering shops, which is operated by compress of air, furnished by a compression apparatus likewise prepared by the ishops. The duplex pump takes water from a cistern,. operates two elevators, either sepa- rately or both together, and discharges the water back into the cistern. Here- tofore the hydraulic elevators about the university have been operated by city water pressure, but this pres- sure was never sufficient to lift the weights required by two such eleva- tors. The pneumatically operated' pump gives a water pressure of ap- prioximately 100 pounds per square inch and enables each elevator to lift' a "load of two tons without difficulty. An outfit of three molding machines of different types has also been stalled' in the foundry during the summer.' These three machines, it is asserted, illustrate all the important mechan- ical principles used in molding ma- chinery. One machine is operated en- tirely by com~pressed air, the other two by hand, with pneumatically op-; ersted pattern devices accompanying. An electrically driven and sifting machine is among other additions to the foundry. All these machines are intended to illustrate modern methodst in foundry practice and bring the uni- versity abreast with the times, so to1 speak, in mechaniealaffairs. Not only are they used for instruction pur-l WHEN NORTH WIN WAS DORM Drowsy Studes Have Slept in Old T. Hell Ever Since it Was Built. Sleeping in class-rooms is one of the never failing traditional customs of campus life, but -few of us know how ancient and sacred in its an- tiquity is this prevailing evil in old Ann Arbor town. Tell any freshmen who have classes in either of the "wings" that they are going to school in an old dormitory and see how blank they look. Nine-tenths of the seniors will appear just as void of comprehen- sion. Nevertheless such is the fact: the wings are old dormitories. Blissful must have been t'he days and effective the beauty sleeps when "ye studes" of '41 back in times for- gotten bounded out of bed on to the rough fourth floor of old North Wing I THEATRICAL CIRCLES I IF YOU WOULD 7 "The onion. Law." "The Common Law," a dramatiza- tion of Robert W. Chambers' sensa- tional novel, is booked as one of the special attractions at the Whitney theater on Tuesday, November 26, and fiction readers who have been charmed and fascinated by Mr. Cham- bers' remarkable book, will doubtless look forward to witnessing the play with pleasureable interest. "The Only Son." People who ordinarily attend a com- edy drama do not expect to find a wealth of elaborateness but they find it just the same in "The Only Son" which will come to the Whitney thea- ter next Wednesday evening. There is no make believe in this latest play by Winchell Smith, the author of "The Fortune Hunter," and "Brewster's Mil- lions."

Those were in the good old days of ten o'clockless houses at Ypsi when the wrecked and shattered fusser crept into the State street door of' North hall, North Wing, at 3:00 a. m. and deposited his shoes, sox, coat and necktie on the first, second, third and fourth floors, respectively, so that he could don them in logical order en- route to his quarter-to-eight-o'clock class in the morning.

Keep it to yourself if you think that some of the cracked plastering may be directly traceable to the fatal vibra- tions set up by some perpetually snoring senior of '41. Don't waste your time wondering whether the poor freshmen of those days had to carry the wood for the stoves up all those flights of stairs. Knowing these romantic associa- tions and its present day importance, will you deny old University hall the right to be called historic?

There is one other machine newly installed in the wood-shop that de- serves special consideration. It is called a hand servicer and joiner, and with it every little movement certain- ly has a meaning all its own. Such a machine has been needed in the shops for a long time, we are told, but has never been put there for the reason that it is an exceedingly dangerous machine, and has an inordinate fond- ness for cutting off fingers of inex- I I i Seats will be placed on sale Tues- day, November 26, for the forthcoming engagement of "The Prince of Pilsen" at the Whitney theater, Thanksgiving afternoon and night.

With few exceptions the hall and wings remain the same today as at that time. Originally the space on the first floor now occupied by the dean's, the registrar's, and the graduate de- partment's offices was given up to the college chapel. There services and exercises were held seven days in the week and attendance was compulsory for all students. Many of the original class rooms throughout the building have been cut into smaller ones for more practi- cal use, The auditori u with the ex- ception of fire escapes, seats and deco- rationsf remains practically the same today as when it was dedicated. Several years ago the old French dome which originally surmounted the central portion of the structure was condemned as unsafe and torn down. It was replaced by the present one which is much more in keeping with the architectural unit, of the build- ing. The plans for the uniting of the two wings by University hall proper were drawn by Edward S. Jonson, '68 E, who was then residing in Chicago. University hall is a noble rather than a beautiful structure architec- turally. Its associations make it a beautiful building historically. Mich- igan men and women have worshiped, and Michigan men and women will ever worship old University hall as Michigan's educational capitol.

The upper two floors were used for dor- mitory purposes. Evidently the dor- mitory system had its drawbacks and hardships-for the professors. It isn't hard to imagine the fun that went on up in the higher altitudes of the old wings and the false alarms that brought the responsible faculty mem- bers tq the scenes of supposed riots. It must have been true that in the wings "life was worth living," for in 1857 President Tappan abandoned the dormitory system in order to "re- lieve the treasury of a large expendi- ture of money and the faculty of a great deal of care and annoyance in the way of supervision.'' South Wing was built soon after North Wing and cost slightly less, al- though practically a duplicate of the latter. It was also used partially as a dormitory. On commencement day, June 28, 1871, the corner stone of University hall proper was laid by President Angell, who was inaugurated on the same occasion.
