MYRA BEACH JORDAN DEAN OF WOMEN
, Beach Jordan, dean of women,
>rn at Battle Creek on March
i3, and spent her entire girl-
n that 'section of the country.
eliminary education was receiv-
he Battle Creek public schools,
1880 she was graduated from
ttle Creek high school, at the
ge of 17. After a normal prep-
, she accepted a position as a
r of the teaching staff of the
school system of her -native
id continued at this work until
e fall of that year, Mrs. Jordan
i the University of Michigan,
5ok a general literary course
ie view of becoming a teacher.
.s gradiuated from the university
, with the degree of Bachelor
s, and in August of the same
he was married to Frederick
Jordan, who is at present as-
librarian in the university lib-
following nine years she spent
'ate life in Ann Arbor, 'but in
te was tendered the position of
f women by the board of re-
ng the 14 years that Mrs. Jor-
s been dean of women, In ad-
to the regular routine duties
office, she has been largely
nental in the adoption of a sys-
approved rooming houses for
dity women. Another feature
work in which she has suc-
ceeded in interesting friends of the
university, has been the building of
dormitories for women. By the be-
ginning of next year, two large dor-
mitories will be ready for occupancy
by the women, and recently agitation
was started by the Detroit alumnae
to raise funds for the building of a
third women's dormitory.
When Mrs. Jordan began her work
as executive head of university wom-
en, there were only about 500 women
in college. Since that time the en-
rollment has steadily increased, until
there are now over 800 women in-
cluded in the university registration.
During the past few years a. number
of new ideas in the conduct of her
department have been introduced, and
at the present time Michigan is rec-
ognized as one of the leading co-edu-
cational institutions of the country.
Dean Jordan is a member of Phi
Beta Kappa, and is also counselor
from the University of Michigan to
the National association of Collegiate
Alumnae. She was one of the charter
members of the Women's League,
which now embraces practically every
woman in the university. Dean Jor-
dan has been for the past ten years
dan has been for the past 10 years
of the university Y. W. C. A. In con-
nection with her regular work, Mrs.
Jordan has also addressed a number
of gatherings of women's clubs and
societies on the general subject of
"Co-education."

SOLDIERSAT CAMP
War Department Will Hold "Summer
Camps This Year To Train
Students and Graduates
For Service
FEW MICHIGAN MEN ATTEND;
NATION NEEDS GREAT RESERVE
Will Give Certificates To Those Who
Successfully Finish Course;
Expenses Will Be Small
In view of the present agitation for
military taining, the announcement
of the students' military instruction
camps, which have been successfully
conducted for the past two summers,
is particularly timely. However, from
Michigan's standpoint, the camps have
been a failure, for not more than 10
students in the university attended
the camp at Ludington, Mich., last
summer.
The War Department has decided to
hold an encampment at Ludington
next year. Three other sites will be
selected, the most likely being Chick-
amauga park, Ga., Plattsburg Bar-
racks, N. Y., and the Presidio of San
Francisco, Cal. The dates chosen for
the middle-west camp at Ludington
July 5 to August 8, inclusive.
These camps are conducted by the
War Department and are under the
supervision of an advisory committee
composed of the presidents of all
educational institutions throughout
the country. President Harry B. Hut-
chins is a member of this advisory
committee.
Captains of the regular army com-
mand the camps, and detachments of
troops are stationed at each camp to
aid in the instruction of the students.
The object of the camps, as set forth
in the bulletin just issued. is to give
the young men of the country oppor-
tunity for a short course in military
training, the better to fit them to dis-
charge their military duty should their
country ever stand in need of their
services. The physical benefits are
also exploited, as well as the benefits
derived from the broadening influ-
ences of intimate relationship with
students of other institutions.-
The War Department seeks to in-i
crease the small reserve of the coun-
try by the instruction of men of uni-
versity education, in the rudiments
of army work. The camps are open to
students, or graduates at least 5 feet
4 inches in height and between the
ages of 18 and 30, in universities, col-
leges, and the graduating classes of
high schools.
Students must attend for the full
period of five weeks, unless compelled
by actual necessity to leave before
that time. The only charge made is
that of $3.50 per week for board. The
meals are prepared by army cooks,
and will be under constant personal
supervision of an officer. The gov-
ernment furnishes all necessities, suWh
as tents, cots, rides, and Mess bits.
To those who successfully Anish tho
prescribed course of instruction, cer-
tificates to that effect will be issued
by the War Department, and their
names kept on file, with remarks as
to the degree of efficiency, and fitness
for future command.
DEPARTMENT CONTRIBUTES BIG
SUM TO BELGIAN FLOWER FUND
More than $40 has been subscribed
by the dent faculty and students for
the Belgian flower fund, according to
a statement made yesterday, by Dr.,
L. P. Hall, who has charge of the
fund. Contributions from members of,
the dental faculty and students in the'
department will be thankfully receiv-
ed. All contributions from the de-
partment will be, added to the gen-
eral flower fund.
WORK OF CONSTRUCTING, NEW
DORMITORIES MAKES HEADWAY
Newberry hall dormitory, the small-
er and cheaper of the two dormitories
now being erected, presents a finished
appearance as the outer frame is al-
most completed. Interior work will be
hurried along so that it may be open-
ed to May Festival guests, at which
time it is to be dedicated. Arrange-
ments are being made relative to its
occupancy during the summer ses-
sion.
The work on the other dormitory is
progressing rapidly now, though it
was seriously delayed by a strike in
the quarries, from which the construc-
tion company obtains its stone. The
iron beams have been placed for the
second floor and the masonry work
is keeping apace. The building will
be ready for use at the opening of
college next fall.
Employment tureau Aids Jobless
Among the activities of the Michigan
Union employment bureau during the
past few days, was the distributing
of three board jobs, two of which are
to begin at the opening of Christmas
vacation. Yesterday, a kitchen job
and an established laundry agency
were still open to applicants.
Station To Experiment on Sewer Pipe
Experiments on the different forms
of sewer pipe sold in the state of
Michigan, will be made at the sani-
tary experiment station. The first car-
load of pipe was received and unload-
ed last week.
