of reference and fiction books, and
subscriptions to all the leading mag-
azines and newspapers in the United
States. There are one large reference
room and two large study halls in this
building. On the third floor there
are several graduate reference and
study roors.
Many Specialized Libraries
The 15 specialized libraries are as
follows: The William L. Clements Li-
brary of American History, the Engi-
neering, the Architecture, the Medi-
cal, the Law, the Dental, the Chem-
istry and Pharmacy, the Chemical
Engineering, the Physics, the Eco-
nomics-Mathematics, the Business
Administration, the Forestry, the' Mu-
scum, the Transportation, and the
several Natural Science libraries.
In totality, there are more than
960,000 volumes and more than 17,000
maps, prints and photographs, and
subscriptions to 4,500 periodicals and
newspapers. The General Library
alone houses more than 600,000 vol-
umes.
The General Library is open from

Health Service'
Gives Complete
Medical Care
Inexpensive And Extensive
Aid Is Offered To Sick
Students Enrolled
The most extensive and inexpensive
medical care offered among American
universities is provided by the Uni-
versity of Michigan Health Service
which cares for any student illness
that should arise during the student's
residence and takes preventive meas-
ures in regard to the student's living
and recreational conditions.
Illness contracted by the student
during the semester in which he is
enrolled is taken care of in the Health,
Service Building and the University
Hospital. Each student receives
without charge office medical service
of any nature from his physician ad-
viser and the Health Servce staff of
specialists. The student is also en-
titled to free bed care for 20 days
and emergency operations without
charge.
In each of the women's dormitories
there is a nurse stationed, and men
students living in rooming houses
have room-call service available.
Of the medical services rendered by
the University, the student is charged
for the following: extra nursing, some
University hospital services, dental
X-rays, physician room calls, non-
emergency operations, health appli-
ances, the repair and purchase of eye
glasses. The charges for these serv-
ices are devised to defray the expenses
of the University only.
The Health Service administers the
health examination which each en-
tering student to the University must
undergo. The University cares for
any illness of a serious nature brought
to light in the examination, and ad-
vises students in the care of minor ail-
ments.

Two guest professors will be added
to the staff of the engineering me-
chanics department of the College of

Den Hartog of Harvard University
will give instruction in courses on
"Fluid Mechanics" and "Stress Analy-
sis in Machine Parts." An advanced
course on "Stability" will be given by
Prof. E. L. Eriksen, head of the
engineering mechanics department
of the engineering college. Assistant

neering college faculty will give in-
struction to an advanced class on the
