Purposes and Social
Gatherings
University of Michigan's social-
r e ligi o u s facilities a r e un-
equaled by any of the large
university cities in the United
"States.About 25years ago, what has
since been termed the "Guild move-
ment," spread over the United States
and found ready adherents among
many of the wealthier people of the
country. As a direct result of this,
there are in Ann Arbor three such
guilds, which maintain buildings for
the purpose of fostering the social and
religious needs of Michigan students.
Harris hall, the guild house of the
Episcopal church, which was built and
endowed through the efforts of the
late Bishop Harris of the Episcopal
diocese of Michigan, has a large read-
ing room with a library of several
thousand volumes, an extensive as-
sembly hall, several lounging rooms,
a gymnasium and a complete culinary
department. The building is at pres-
ent supervised by a student curator,
and is used for all the social and relig-
ious activities of Episcopal students,
The guild house of the Presbyterian
church, McMillan hall, is well equip-
pd. Beside containing several large
assembly rooms and a gymnasium, it
has an annex known as Sackett hall,
in which are housed a number of Pres-
byterian students. Next door, West-
minster house provides a home for a
number of university women.
The Baptist guild house also includ-
es dormitories, lounging rooms and
showers, and is the student headquar-
ters for all the social functions of the
Baptist students. The hall, which is
partly the product of an endowment,
and partly built by other means, is
very large aiid commodious, and to-
gether with McMillan hall provides1
facilities for outdoor recreation.
While the other churches in the
town do not possess the guild build-
ings, they have large parlors in which
the students of the various denomina-
tions hold social events during the
year.
In addition to these buildings there
is Newberry hall, which, while being
primarily the home of the University1
Y. W. C. A., is also used for large so-
cial gatherings by the student Y. M. C.
A. This building also possesses a li-
brary, a tea room, a large auditorium
and several lounging parlors,.
GRADUATE CLUB MAKES PLANS
FOR HALLOWE'EN FESTIVITIES
Hallowe'en will not be without its
usual complement of festivities this
year, if the plans of the graduate clube
are to be taken as a criterion.An event,
in the nature of a get-acquainted party
for the benefit of the new members,{
will be held about the first of Novem-
ber, and will be the opening number
of a series of social events scheduledt
for the year.t
In order to promote social relations<
among all the graduate students in the
university, it has been decided not tos
limit the Hallowe'en. party to clubi
members, but to invite all students oft
the graduate department. Other eventst
of the club, will, as in the past, be
limited to club members, their wives1
and friends.
The club has adopted the slogan of
"Every graduate a club member," and,
with this in view, all graduate stu-t
dents are urged to hand in their names
as early as possible; to the treasurer,t
R. K. Immel, 522 Packard street.

system has been found feasible the lastf
few months on the University line. t

A LIFE'S MORING.
By George Gissing, (828 G 535 K.R.4)
For those who want a book that will
entertain them for an hour or two
when studying grows monotonous,
there is no more delightful a book than
this little volume by George Gissing.
It is a story of an Oxford undergradu-
ate who was forced to quit college
owing to a break down, and who, while
spending his time to his best advantage
at home, became infatuated with the
governess of his aunt's twin daughters.
There is parental objection, and the
various events which culminate in the
happy termination of the undergrad-
uate's love affair are told in an inter-
esting and convincing manner.
In certain spots the story drags, and
the style is not commanding. Espe-
cially at the beginning, is it hard work
for the reader to get into the life of
the tale. English characteristics, also,
naturally are portrayed, and they lend
a pleasing aspect to the story.
CAE OF STUDENTS
TAXES ANN ARBOR
About 1,100 Rooming Houses Required
to Provide For Increasing
Registration at
Michigan
IMMENSE QUANTITIES OF FOOD
NECESSARY FOR DAILY WANTS
Approximately 4,500 Loaves of Bread
and 1,500 Pounds of Meat
Used Each Day
Michigan has beaten her own en-
rollment record in the past few years,
but this increase has been so subtle
that only a few of the initiated are
aware of the pace that has been kept
up by the people who feed and house
Ann Arbor's transient population.
During the past five years, the'num-
ber of student rooming houses has con-
stantly increased, until there are, at
the present time about 1,100 such es-
tablishments in the city. It is expect-
ed that this number-will be more than
normally increased next year, because
of the fact that when the new rushing
rules for the fraternities and sorori-
ties go into effect, about 350 freshmen,
who would otherwise have been lodged
in the fraternity and sorority houses,
will be living about the campus.
There are 53 boarding and eating
houses in Ann Arbor which cater very
largely to the student trade, and some
of the estimates which they have giv-
en are an interesting sidelight on the
quantity of food which Michigan stu-
dents consume every day. Making a
general average of the figures secured,
it is conservatively estimated that the
students in these boarding houses con-
sume about 4.500 loaves of bread each
day. This, together with 1,500 pounds
of meat, 150 bushels of potatoes, about
900 pies, 1,200 pounds of pudding and
all the extra "trimmins," will give
some conception of the task before
the people of Ann Arbor, in satisfying
the physical wants of Michigan's stu-
dent body.
Besides the number of eating and
rooming houses which take care of the
majority of the students, there are at
the present time in Ann Arbor 62 fra-
ternities, sororities and house-clubs
which provide for about 1,500 mem-
bers.
Two Women Register in Pharmacy
Only two women are registered in
the pharmacy department thus far this
year. The course rarely registers more
than five women, and usually not that
many. Last year there were none at
all, while several years ago there were
as many as ten.
The complete registration not yet
being compiled in the chemistry cours-
es, only an approximation of the num-
ber of women in the courses can be
made. Probably ten or twelve are clas-
sified in advanced chemistry courses,
very few electing courses beyond gen-
eral chemistry.
Plan Accommodations For Conference
Committees on entertainment for
the Boy's Conference, which is to meet
here in November, are already at work
formulating plans for the accommoda-
tion of the visitors. During this week
a canvass is being made of the parents
of high school pupils to get an esti-
mate of how many they will be able
to accommodate. Next Sunday the
campaign will be taken up with the
local church people, and later a sys-
tematic canvas of the city will be
made.
CHESS CLUB PLANS
FOR BANNER YEAR
Organization Will Inaugurate Season
at Michigan Union With
Saturday Night
Meeting
WILL HAVE STRONG TEAM FOR
NEXT INTERCOLLEGIATE MEET
Matches Between Faculty and Mem-
bers Planned as Preliminary
Training
Chess players in the university ar
expecting one of the most prosperou
years in the history of the local Chess
and Checkersclub, and it is expected
that, with the official opening of the
season at the Michigan Union, Satur-
day night, October 17, an unusually
large number of candidates will be
present to sign up for the various con-
tests.
Michigan will be represented by an
unusually strong team this year at the
annual meet of the Western Intercol-
legiate Chess association, which will
be held in Chicago during the Christ-
mas holidays. Both W. G. Given, '16E,
who has held the championship of the
university chess club for the last two
years, and W. T. Adams, '17, the phe-
nomenal freshman player of last year
have signified their intentions of try-
ing out this year. In addition,
other material of championship
caliber is to be found among the older
players, while the incoming class each
year usually furnishes men of marked
ability.
A contest between the faculty club
and the university chess club is also
being arranged, and will probably take
place before Christmas. Any faculty
members that are interested are re-
quested to communicate with the sec-
retary of the club, W. T. Adams, '17,
phone 653-J.
A series of matches between the
members of the club will be played,
and will be of such a nature as to pro-
vide interest for players of all ranks,
so that the weaker as well as the
stronger members will be able to meet
players of their own class. Suitable
prizes will be awarded to the cham-
pions of the various classes at the end
of the season.
On the assumption that many play-
ers of mediocre and minor ability re-
main away from the chess club, fearing
that they may not be able to compete
with the players of championship cal-
iber, officials of the club have or-
ganized a membership campaign, and
have distributed posters in different
buildings of the campus, in hopes that
these players may be encouraged to
come out, as the membership of the
club represents players varying great-
ly in ability. Meetings will be held at
the Michigan Union every Saturday
night, and all men who have any in-
terest in chess are urged to come out.
Plans for the checker section of the
club have not yet been completed, but
will include a series of contests be-
tween the members, for which prizes
will be offered, and will probably in-
clude a contest with the faculty club.
CHEMICAL ENGINEERS TO HEAR
TALK BY FORMER INSTRUCTOR
K. W. Zimmerschied, '03, instructor
in metallurgy, '04-'09, and at present
chief metallurgist for the General Mo-
tors company, will open the series of
lectures to be given by the Chemical
Engineering branch of the Engineei'-
ing society, on Tuesday evening, Oc-
tober 20, in the chemical amphitheatre,
with an address on "The Relation of
Metallurgy to Mechanics."
Mr. Zimmerschied, who is also vice-
president of the Society of Automobile
Engineers, has under his supervision
all of the factories of the General Mo-
tors company, and is the final author-
ity on the kinds of material used in
every motor turned out, the primary
object being to cut down the weight
of automobile motors.
Professor Lorch to Speak in Detroit
Prof. Emil Lorch, of the department
of architecture, will speak in Detroit
tomorrow night before the Michigan
Association of Architects. This is a
,new society formed to ally all the ar-
chitects in the state of Michigan. A
number of recent graduates of the de-
partment are members and promoters
of the new organization.
Physics Enrollment Shows Increase
In company with the other depart-
ments on the campus, the physics de-
partment is taking its share of the
increase in enrollment. In addition to
the thirtean sections originally plan-
ned for elementary laboratory work,
four new sections have had to be form-
ed, and two new laboratory assistants
have had to be appointed to handle the
overflow.
