M. at the parlors of the Congrega- tional church. We refer to the very in- teresting demonstration which is to be held by the Aluminum Cooking Utensil company. At this time a luncheon will be prepared in "Wear- ever" utensils, and the manufacture, care and use of aluminum utensils fully explained. We earnestly request all wide awake Michigan nien who wish to earn enough money to carry them through a whole school year to be present at this demonstration that you may then go out and do like- wise. Last summer twenty-fouraMichigan men sold five thousand dollars' worth of "Wearever." Are you an average man? If you are we want you to sell "Wearever" utensils this summer. We have no doubt put more young men through college than any other one institution in the country.

With the title of professor of ge- ology and natural history, he was professor at the University of Michi- gan from 1873 to 1875, the first man to be placed in charge of the teach- ing in geology there. He was follow- ed by Professor Alexander Winchell, who died in 1891, by Professor I. C. Russell from 1892-1896, and by Pro- fessor Wm. H. Hobbs, since 1906. Professor Hilgard was one of the foremost authorities upon soils, es- pecially those of the arid and semi- arid regions. He was a member of many learned societies, including the National Academy of Science. The University of Michigan confer-; red upon him the degree of LLD. in 1887. It will interest some to know that Dr. Vaughan, now Dean of the Medical Department, was formerly as- sistant in geology to Dr. Hilgard.

Don't forget the time and place. . Very truly, *. The Aluminum Cooking Utensil Co.' -Adv. The Michigan Engineering Society will open its annual meeting at Grand Rapids today. The session will last three days, of which two days will be devoted to the reading of several technical papers. An inspection trip of various engineering plants in the vicinity of Grand Rapids will termin- ate the convention. A banquet and other social functions will be held in honor of the delegates, during their stay in Grand Rapids. To facilitate the reading of papers on so many divergent subjects, . the meeting will be divided into eleven sections, each of which will deal with one particular phase of engineering. Three of the divisions will be pre- sided over by members of the faculty of the engineering college, while sev- en of the papers to be read will be contributed by faculty men. This showing indicates the importance of Michigan's engineering college in every branch of the profession. The mechanical and electrical en- gineering section will have as chair- man Prof. John R. Allen, and under this subdivision Prof. J. C. Parker will read a paper on "Marginal Eco- nomics" and Prof. C. H. Fessenden will speak on "Modern Boiler Prac-. tice." These papers will be discussed and in view of the fact that they are the only two papers to be read in this section, the discussion will probably be unusually interesting. The sanitary engineers will hear Prof. W. C. Hoad on "The Uses and Abuses of Streams in Sewage Dis- posal," while Prof. A. J. Decker will give an illustrated lecture on "Sew- age Disposal." Mr. Cox of the civil engineering de- partment will preside over the "Roads" section, and Prof. H. B. Mer-, rick of the same department will be chairman of the discussion on "Plat- ting and Topographical Surveying."l Prof. Merrick has also collaborated with Prof. H. H. Atwell in prepara-.< tion of a paper on "The MichiganI Plat Law." A paper by Prof. C. T.I Johnston on "The Status of Engineers and Engineering in Michigan" will likewise be read at this time. "Practical Methods of Measuring Flowing Water," will be discussed by Mr. C. 0. Wisler in the hydro-electric group. This completes Michigan's representation of speakers at the con- vention. PLAN ALBION MICHIGAN COURSE Dean V. C. Vaughan Heads Committeet to Discuss Matter Today Dean Victor C. Vaughan, of the med-I ical school, is chairman of the com-t mittee which will meet today with aI committee from Olivet College to dis-! cuss a combined literary-medicalt course witih that college. Dr. C. W. Edmunds, Dr. F. G. Novy, and. Dr. G.] C. Huber, are also on the committee.I Prof. A. D. Bush is chairman of thei committee from Olivet. t They will probably arrange for a8 combined course of seven years, such as the one already in effect between1 the medical school and Albion College. After taking three years of literaryi work, the students come to Michigan.

Liberty Street LOOK FOR THE NOTES .Mr. Orvill S. Westerman, instriic- tor in boxing and wrestling in the uni- versity, has made Michigan a pioneer int this movement. Several Ohio col- leges have already secured instructors in the manly art and a great many other universities and colleges have seen the great advantages that can be gained by students taking such courses, and are planning to install; instructors in these lines in the near future. Mr. Westerman, who conducts his classes in Waterman gymnasium, is by no means a beginner at the art, but has had a great deal of profes- sional experience. NEIL!

And the requirement of good scholarship in these courses, as they are now pre- sented, are so extensive that very few students have the time to do sufficient outsider gtokee informed on current topi(,s, without de11-nyig them- selves all participation in outside ac- tivities. The writer firmly believes that cur- rent reading carefuiy and definitely assigned would have great value in' the class rooms of this university. If some broad, authoratative, monthly magazine covering impartially the field of current history and politics could be introduced as a collateral text book into our .1istory, Political Science and Economics courses, much+ would be addedto the value of these courses. Such a magazine would not l come often enough to lprove a serious distraction to the other work of the class, and it woulI sive a sufficiently long time view io insure the accuracy needed for class room use. Such a procedure would not only enable in- structors to assign articles which would illustrate in a pratical manner the theories obtained from text hooks, but would at he same time give stn- deiits the t~orto unity ond the inco-eu tive to inforn tlnmselves on the cur- ent hawpenios of he day. It will also give vitality to our rhetoric and oratory courses -and add a distinctive spirit of progressiveness to our uni- v('Isty life. i ver sincerely believe that suck a system could be very well introduced into this university.

PLAYERS FAIL TO SHOW Participants Absent Selves from Union Bridge Tournament; May Stay in by Makinig Uip Games The bridge players have responded very well to the call for participants in the annual Union bridge tourna- ment but they have failed to show up for play in the needed numbers to make the tournament a success. Up to the time for starting Friday night some twenty couples had signed, but only ten of these were on hand to play off their games. Those who did not show up Friday still have a chance to stay in the running by making up their lost games next Friday, but if they fail to appear then, they will have to be thrown out of the contest. T'Ie failure of some of the players to show up will not delay the work- ing out of the schedule, and it will be finished by February 28, which will be the second day of play after the se- mster starts. There will be no games luring examnination or hop weeks, but they will start. up again the first Fri- day of next semester. No contestants are eliminated during the play but the points of all are held until the final day. The winners of last year's con- test have enrolled in this year's tour- nament.
