THE MICHIGAN DAILY MICHIGAN'S FUTURE CAMPUS Some of the Plans for the Beautifica- tion of the University Site. If you were disappointed in your first view of the campus of the uni- versity, you will be glad to learn that a faculty committee has been work- ing on plans for the improvement of present conditions. The past disre- gard for architectural unity and beauty in the arrangement of the university'S buildings is to be as far as posible amended. The new plans, although not yet adopted, have been recognized by those in authority. They do not seek to revolutionize the present campus plan but offer suggestions for bring- ing about a better harmony of ar- rangement. The plans provide for the retention of the old diagonal walk which is recognized as a permanent necessity. The buildings in the cen- ter of the campus, with the exception of the library, will be removed, leav- ing a large open square surrounded by the other buildings in their pres- ent position. Extending from before the library to North University ave- nue will be a wide mall which will be continued beyond the new Hil Audi- torium, taking in Ingalls street gjid adjacent land. Around the center court will be a driveway giving access to all of the buildings at the rear and having its entrance and exit on North Univer- sity avenue. The chemistry building will then face the mall and opposite it will probably be erected a spacious recitation building. SABBATH SUGGESTIONS "Christmas Joys" will be the sub- ject of the address at. the Baptist church this morning by the Rev. Frank Bachelor, although most of the service will be given over to a musi- cal program of solos, trios, quartets and anthems. Mr. N. C. Fetter, Jr., will speak to the Guild class at noon on, "Christianity-Its Literature." The Young People's services at 6:30 p. m. will be a Town and Gown meet- ing, in charge of Miss Cora Wolff and James Staley. The Rev. Robert S. Loring will take for the theme of his morning sermon at the Unitarian church, "Evolution and the Idea of God." At 7:00 p. m. the Young People's Religious Union will be addressed by Prof. W. B. Ford. At the Presbyterian church this morning, the pastor, Dr. L. A. Barrett, will lead the services, his subject be- ing, "Anticipating Christmas." The Rev Dr. S. P. Long, of Mansfield, 0., wifl deliver the evening address, one of the Union series, on the theme, "Two Hard Hearts." "Thy Kingdom Come" will be the quotation around which the Rev. A. W, Stalker of the Methodist church' will fp.4ni h is text this morning. Noon Bible ciasp's fpr university men and women are Ppcducttd 4y the pas- tor and Mrs, taJker, Tte evening service, a Wesleyan Guild Lecture, will be led by the Rev, Edward P.

It is certainly true that there are some few paintings hung on the walls of the Alumni Memorial hail that have little artistic merit; but it is equally true that the collection shown there includes several pictures of great value and worth, and that the whole attains a good average-as collections go. The finest of them are works that would be noticeable in any art col- lection in America. And so, before you contribute your laugh to the joke, it will be well to spend an hour or two in Memorial hall. It is safe to promise that the visit will be not only illuminating but deeply enjoyable. The university owes most of its paintings and sculptures to the gener- osity of Henry C. Lewis, of Coldwater, who at his death some years ago, be- queathed his entire private collec- tion to the university. This compris- ed many hundreds of pieces, good, bad, and indifferent. But the good. ones were so good as to redeem all the rest, and make Mr. Lewis' ift something to be appreciated by : one in the university. The audeatien was made up largely f n ; there were mani portraits of lra men, some of them1 W.V-rov , tists. There we ai. a iw mabi s Mr. Lewis' earik parce1 we' largelr of copies roa tures, but anong ie uwi andithms to fhe sjthlectio were a iuu~nber of ingsof ,an exel lein' and in- :.erest. iost: val unb a in a way most intresting of these latter is Th Trw lin of Bonguereau.

One may not care per- sonally for the work of this artist, but one must recognize the worth and significance of such a picture. After the Bouguereau, both in real value and in interest, come "The Re- treat" of Adolf Schreyer, and the "Courtyard of the Sultan's Palace" by Benjamin Constant, perfect examples of two widely varying schools of mod- ern art. These two pictures are prob- ably the most liked of any in the col- lection, and are visited every day. They may be found in the south room on the second floor. The "Retreat" shows two Arabs with their horses fleeing over the desert, and is full of. the spirit and motion, the feeling, with which Schreyer has pictured Arabia life. It is one of the best ampl of his work. The Constfid. picture, with its brilliant color, its eer and de- tailed compos.ion, n is marvelou effect of snmli ht falling down Uh' wall, has h 1ind of neauy that is apt to i:t a exclacation. n the same room is nung the WM.i M Chase ni ait of' I ains Bnurrili Angeli,. xu i ii as.

These are pictures of varying merit, but they are well worth the seeing, and will repay care- ful study and analysis. RUSSIAN STUDENTS TO FORM NEW CAMPUS ORGANIZATION According to present plans a Rus- sian students' society may be added to the list of campus organizations. Re cent statistics show that 11 Russians are enrolled in this university, and more are expected. Alexander Rovin and a few others have the matter un- der consideration.

How old do you imagine is the flag which flies from the campus flag-pole? Did you think that it had been taking the breeze for a good many years? If you did you are mistaken, for the uni- versity authorities must replace the flag on an average every two or three months. The stress of the wind, rain, snow, and sleet on the national em- blem is so great that during the win- ter months it does not even last two months. Many people have wondered why it is that the flag Is not lowered every evening at sunset as is the national e0uom. For many years since the flag-pole was erected until about three ea 's ago this custom was observed, u1 is wv afound that the expenditure as too gr-at, due to the fact that it M lao9 men to raise and lower the fla aid constant raising and lower- a soon wears out the flag. If there happens to be a sleet storm the rope and the pulleys are frozen solid-to the pole and it then takes three or four men to lower the flag. For CareIfAt, Conscientious.

Recent statistics show that the ex- penses of a college student at Min- nesota in 1912 are 40 per cent higher than those of a student twenty years ago. Kansas-The rooters club at Kan- sas is calledl the "thundering thous- and." Healthy lungs and much col- lege spirit are necessary for member- ship. Nebraska-Nebraska University has taken a very decided stand against the song "Hail, hail, the Gang's all Here" and any student who sings it hereafter will be expelled. Pennsylvania-Last week, Dr. Daw- son Kennedy gave a diner to all the members of last year's championship track team. Among those who spoke was Captain Mercer, who laid special stress on the fact that everything pos- sible shouid be done to back the veter- ail trainer, "Mike Murphy." It is said that the old Red and Blue trainer will be succeeded by Nat Cartmell. According to statistics given out here, this year's freshmen have smash-' ed the long-standing strength records. The first year men have set new marks both for average and total strength. M. Dorizas, who stands at the top of his class, exceeds the first man of any previous list by 225 kilos, while the lowest man on this year's list exceeds the lowest man on any previous list by 162 kilos. HISTORIC ROOMS WORTH KNOWING Famous Hall of '83. Perhaps you call it the "new" law building. You are not in error. The greater part of the structure is new, old "room G" excepted: You hold in sacred memory the days of the early sixties and you honor anything con- nected with them. And yet, as you go in and out of old "room G," you are probably unaware that you are following in the steps of many of Michigan's earliest law students, who, moved by great ambitions, entered that room then only to leave it so soon to sacrifice their lives in the cause of their country. - It is not strange, then, that this old lecture hall, which was the main room in the first law building, erected in 1863, has been honored by preser- vation. Within its walls the depart- ment's first three professors, Thomas M. Cooley, James V. Campbell, and Charles I Walker, did their founda- tion work upon which the school's present nation-wide reputation has been so soundly built. The acoustic properties of the fam- ous old room are perfect, a fact which justified the keeping intact its walls so dear to early alumni and faculty. Its windows were altered to accord with the style of the building erected around it in 1893, and then again changed to harmonize with those of 1898. But the walls are the same, the old room is still there, and in spite of the change, alumni who have climbed high on life's ladder feel a strange pleasure in standing again within the historic atmosphere of Room G. 11 11 There is no other present that brings so much enjoy- ment as a Camera. And whether you pay a dollar or two for a Brownie, or six dollars for a Vest Pocket Ko- dak, or $15 to $65 for a Kodak, or $5 for a Premoette, every one will take good, satisfactory pictures.
