FIRST BOOKS GIVEN
IN ACTIVE_SERVICE,
Were Donated by Agent of Fur'
Company 91 Years Ago, ;
Published in 1822.
175,000 BOOKS HAVE
BEEN RECEIVED SINCE
Still on the shelves of the Uni-
versity library and in active ser-
vice after 81 years, is a set of 10
volumes, the first books ever pre-
lsented to the University, the All-
gemeine Deutsche Real-Encyclo-
paie, published in Leipzig, Germany,
in 1822.
The 'old volumes, donated by
Charles W. Borup, an agent of the
American Fur company at La
Pointe, Wisconsin, came from the
fur-trading post in that town,
which is located on Madeline Is-
land in Lake Superior.
Research on the subject by Dr.
Frank E. Robbins, assistant to the
president, has indicated that Bor'-
up, who, as proprietor of the chief
trading post of a great pioneer or-
ganization, lived a life' of rusticity,
cut off from civilization, may have
been influenced to give the books
to the University by D o u g1a s
Houghton, who held a professor-
ship on the then new institution
and frequently visited the Lake Su-
perior country.
Curious biographical notes on
Borup declare that he was "a high-
ly cultivated and intelligent gentle-
man," surrounded by Indians, voy-
ageurs, and pioneer woodsmen in
the midst of virtually impenetra-
ble isolation.
Baptist Students' Guild, Sunday,
6:30. Prof. Henry Huizinga, Head of
the English Department of Univer-
sity of Shankhai, will speak on
"Pioneering in Education.
Student Faculty A.S.M.E., Ban-
quet, Tuesday, Dec. 15, at 6 p. in.,
Union. Members of Student Branch
and others interested may obtain
tickets before Saturday from the
following committeemen': Hairry
Chesebrough, Stanley Chase, Mal-
colm Lawrie, Edwin Swain, and
Howard Jones.

Dr. WilliamW. Bishop
(Continued from Page 4)
brary took Dr. Bishop to Rome
again in 1928. Since that time he
has offered continuous advice for
the reorganization work, and has
made four trips abroaa ior the Car-
negie Foundation for Internation-
al Peace; continuing his work as
Librarian for the University at the
same time.
Dr. Bishop came to Michigan in
1915, from the Library of Congress
at Washington, D. C. Before that
he was affiliated with the libraries
of the Garrett Biblical Institute, at
Evanston, Ill., the Polyteenic Insti-
tute of Brooklyn, N. Y., and Prince-
ton University.,
When Dr. Bishop visited Michf-
gan in 1889, the University had a
library staff consisting of three
full-time members and six part-
time members, with 80,000 books in
the stacks. Now there are approx-
imately 130 full-time members of
the staff of which he is the head,
40 student workers, and a library
housing more than 820,000 books.
In addition there are at least 20
more full-time employees in the
Clements Memorial and Legal Re-
search libraries.
Although his activities do not al-
low him so much time.'for personal
contact with students, except those
enrolled in the department of li-
brary tscience, Dr. Bishop's work
is nevertheless valuable to every
student of the University. The li-'
braries are unquestionably an' in-
dispensible and valuable depart-
ment of Michigan, and much of the
credit for their present superiority
goes to Librarian Bishop.
Education Professors
Present at Convention
Prof. Thofnas Diamond and Prof.
Cleo Murtland of the Education
School are attending the annual
conference of the National Voca-
tional Association, December 9, 10,
11, and 12, in New York City.
Jamaican women account for 70
per cent of the country's annual
consumption of 40,000 dozen pairs
of rayon hosiery.

Attend Convention for Purpose
of Keeping in Touch
With Graduates.

IS

SPONSORED BY
REGISTRAR SMITF

Representatives of 41 high schools
throughout ythe state convened in
Ann Arbor yesterday for the pur-
pose of keeping in touch with the
progress of freshmen who were
graduated from their schools dur-
ing the past year. The convention,
an annual function, was sponsored
by Ira M. Smith, registrar of the
University.
Throughout the day short con-
sultation periods between the prin-
cipals and students were arranged,
and previous contact was arranged
through a questionnaire which in,
quired p into working conditions,
previous preparations, present in-
struction, future plans, and outside
activities *of the students, sent to
them from the registrar's office.
In order that a comprehensive
discussion could be had witli each
student in the limited time avail-
able, the questionnaire was com-
prised of questions covering every
field of freshman activity including
adequacy of preparation for col-
lege, completeness of understand-
ing of class work, length of assign-
ments, rooming conditions; num-
ber of students in rooming houses,
familiarity with methods of teach-
ing, degree of satisfaction with
course of study, and field of spec-
ialization.
In order to accomod ate the 436
students who were- listed for con-
sultations, desks were placed at the
disposal of principals in University
hail, Mason hall, and University
High school. Assistants of Regis-
trar Smith stated yesterday that
in addition to the freshmen listed,
a large number of upperclassmen
appeared during the clay to consult
with their high school principals.
