(By Edward Lambrecht)
"I tried to break the business side,
but didn't quite succeed," said Bruce
Millai, '20, managing editor of the
1920 Michiganensian, in speaking of
the business angle of this year's an-
nual.
"The 'Ensian's purpose is not to
make money, and so I proceeded to
use all the money which we expected
to come in, by' getting the best en-
graving, printing, and binding obtain-
able. The business staff, under the ex-
cellent managership of Dewey Fager-
burg, however, more than lived up to

s CELEBRITIES
.. (By Norman Damon) 
e Nearly twice as much space will be
e given to pictures .in the 1920 Michi-
t ganensian as has been given in any
a 'previous year., This applies more
e 'particularly to the individual pictures,,.
"campus celebrities" and snapshots of
scenes on the campus during the past
t year.
e Joseph Avery, '21, was in charge of
r the staff photographers, and has ac-1
L complished such good results in thei
r securing, of this year's pictures that
- he has been appointed for the same
- position with the 'Ensian next year
e under Willis Blakeslee, '21L. Con-
s cerning the quality of his work, which
e is to be reproduced in the yearbook,
- Lyndon's head photographer says he
f is "undoubtedly the best amateur pho-
e tographer on the campus." So muchl
for the quality of the snapshots.
. e "Shoot" Celebrities
It was Avery's job to catch the men
e celebrities in their favorite poses,

such a review. 'Tha
a 'bit, and resulted i

our expectations and got double the
amount of advertising and more sub-
scriptions than any ;previous yearbook
ever had."
Record Subscription
The Michiganensian has 2,600 sub-
scriptions, while the largest number
for any other year was 1,800. Of
these, 500 have been ordered ,by the
Board of Regents to send to the larger"
high schools throughout the country.:
Altogether, the 2,600 books being
printed will 'weigh 'more than nine'
tons. They will require 1,149,200'
square feet of paper, or more 'than 26:
acres, which Js enough to cover three-
fifths of the entire campus. Each page
must be run through the press twice,
making 4,066,400 pages to go through
the machines. -
There will be 1,001 new engravings
in the book, not including 148 stock
fraternity and sorority cuts. Eight
four-process engravings, alone will
cost $604. According to the engravers,
the 1920 Michiganensian will have
more engravings than any other col-,
lege annual. This was made possible
through the foresight of the Board in.
Control of Student Publications, which
contracted for the work three years
ago, when the cost was comparatively
low.
Weighs Seven Pounds
The yearbook will have 786 pages,
and will weigh seven pounds. The
cover will be of black "kowide" mofloy
with gold-embossed lettering, costing
$1.19 dpiece.
The engraving is being done at a
cost of $4,000, the printing at $6,000,
and the binding at $3,000. The books
will travel 180 miles by railroad -and
auto truck during these various proc-
esses.
A shortage of coal in Kalamazoo,
where they are being printed, delayed
the books for two weeks, but they are
expected to be ready for delivery the
latter part of next week. They will
be given -to the subscribers in alpha-
betical order at the publication office,
serving those first who :have paid up
in full.
'ENSIAN HAS HISTORY
Of the fifteen or more journals of
early Michigan history, three sur-'
vived, namely, the Paladium, Casta-
lian, 'and' Law Review. They remain
today in the medium of the Michigan-
ensian.
The Palladium was founded'in 1859
as the official organ -of the Palladium
fraternities. This called forth the
Independent, later the Castalian, the
first regular college newspaper. It
was published by the independents.
In 1896 the Paladium and Castalian,
together with the Law Review, were
merged into the Michiganensian.

ART WOKIYERBOUK
DECLAREDBEST IN YEARS
BACHIWAN, ART EDITOR, LAUDED
FOR HIS EUXEPTIONAL
ABILITY
(By Edwin F. Struble) '
The art department .of the 1920
Michiganensian is the largest and best
of all similar departments. appearing
in previous numbers. The art staff
was headed by Reed Bachman, '20,
who has been the.chief contributor to
the Michiganensian for ythe past four'
years. He: has been on the art staff
since 1917. The other members of the
staff are: Mildred Barton, '22; Samuel
Wiener, '20A; Lee Boyd,''22; Hunter?
Griffith, '21; Carl W. Porter, '20E; W.
W. Gower, '23.
Bachman drew most of the draw-
ings appearing in the department.
His, greatest work was the drawing
of eight four-color paintings. These
paintings are entitled, The University,
Seniors, Classes, Athletics, Publica-
tions, Organization1s, Fraternities, and
Women.
Land Bachman
As a further sign of the exceptional
ability which Bachman ;possesses, the'
John and Olier Engraving Company,
of Chicago, engravers' for the Michi-
ganensian, said:.
"Baclman is undoubtedly the best'
college artist in America today. His
sense of color scheme is. particularly
good."
The art department of the Michigan-'
ensian contains, 'in addition to the
eight large paintings by Bachman,
drawings heading the following de-
partments: Juniors, 'sophomores,
freshmen, football, .baseball, basket-
ball, tracki tennis, music, drama,. ora-
tory, society, cam'pus societies, honor
societies, literary and scientific socie-
ties, house clubs; professional frater-
nities,' women's dormitories, women's
athletics, and women's honor societies..
The ;drawings of the junior, sopho-
more an freshman departments are
thought by some to be Bachman's
most original work. They show a.
young Boston terrier, depicting the,
change in the eipression as the stu-
dent progresses from class to class.
This is one of the most unique fea-
tures of the depa'rtment.

Issuing 'Ensian
In making a yearbook credit cannot
go to. any one man or group of work-
ers.
Thy compiling of the 1920 Michigan-
ensian was no exception, and credit,,
no small amount of credit, must be
given to the following people: To
Prof. Edson R. Sunderland and mem-
bers of the Board in Control who as-I
sisted in many ways and hindered in
none, to the women on the staff, who
painstakingly pasted several thousand
pictures and did detail jobs; to local
photographers who worked overtime
accommodating the editors; to the
hundreds of students on the campus
who identified group pictures; to fra-
ternity and sorority freshmen who
ran errands; and last of all, to the
telephone girls who came to know No.
176-J: and rendered "hurry-up" serv-
ice on all occasions.
All, these may consider that they
helped to build the book.

The good ship Michiganensian has
'for a crew this year a company of
people whose previous experience and
present accomplishment have made
easy and brilliant work of an exceed-

the year.
