In pursuance of their study of
certain standards for junior college
libraries, members from colleges and
universities all over the United States
will convene here today for the sec-
ond meeting of the Advisory Group
on Junior College Libraries of the
Carnegie Corporation.
Dr. William W. Bishop, University
Librarian, is chairman of the group
and Dean J. B. Edmonson, of the
school of education, is a member. The
meeting will take place from 9:30
am. to 4 p.m. today in the Union.
with a recess between noon and 2
p.m. when a luncheon will be given.
the members.
Mr. Foster E. Mohrhardt, secre-
tary of the group, stated that stand-
ards for junior college libraries will
be discussed and probably decided on
definitely. He further announced'
that although distribution of funds
to select junior college libraries will
be discussed, there will probably be
no disbursement at the meeting to-.
day.
The members of the group who
will be present at the meeting are:
Mohrhardt, secretary; President J.
M. Wood, Stephens College, Colum-
bia, Mo.; Superintendent W. W. Hag-
gard, Joliet Junior College, Joliet,,
Ill.; Prof. W. C. Eells, department of,
education, Stanford University; Prof.
L. V. Koos, department of educa-
tion, University of Chicago; Dean J.1
B. Edmonson; Dean L. R. Wilson,
graduate library school, University of
Chicago; Charles E. Rush, associate
librarian, Yale University; Carl H.
Milam, permanent secretary of the
American Library Association, Chi-
cago, and Dr. Robert M. Lester, sec-
retary of the, Carnegie Corporation,
of New York.
The Advisory Group was organized
in October, 1934, when the first
grants were made by the Carnegie
Corporation and the initial business
correspondence sent out from the of-
fice established on the third floor of
the Michigan Library.
At that time part -of the program
planned was the preparation of a list
of books for junior college libraries.
Such a list in now on the press.
120 Are Here
At 'Conference
of Sehoolmen.
One hundred-and-twenty repre-
sentatives of 64 high schools, the ma-
jority of them principals, yesterday
attended here the 10th annual con-
ference of high school principals yes-
signed to promote closer articulation
between the University and high
schools preparing students for the
University.
According to Ira M. Smith, regis-
trar, this conference has proved mu-
tually helpful to the high school
principal in preparing the student
for college and to the University in
discovering the problems of the stu-
dent enrolled here.
Each principal consulted with each
of his formerstudents for 15 minutes
during the day. More than 600 stu-
dents were interviewed.
The high school representatives.
attended a luncheon meeting in the
Union upon the conclusion of the in-
terviews before noon. Faculty mem-
bers were also present at the lun-
cheon, at which members of the Var-
sity Glee Club entertained.
Detroit Central High School and
Ann Arbor High School had trained
the greatest number of freshman
students of this year's class, figures
revealed.
CRAIG SUCCEEDS AYRES
Prof. Cecil C. Craig of the mathe-

matics department has succeeded
Prof. William L. Ayres of the en-
gineering college, as secretary-treas-
urer of the Michigan Section of the
Mathematical Association of Ameri-
ca. Professor Ayres is now on sab-
batical leave.

Officials of the Student Christian
Association announced yesterday they
were looking forward to new steps in
their rapidly-growing Health Service
Visitation Service, following the ac-
ceptance of Dr. William Brace and
Dr. Margaret Bell, heads of the in-
firmary division of the Health Serv-
ice, of plans calling for their sup-
port and partial supervision.
Dr. Brace in an interview following
the SCA announcement declared
himself entirely satisfied with the
work of the visitation service and
ready to cooperate with it at any
time. ."This group offers a great aid
to students who are confined in the
infirmary, and to the staff of the

for anbody interested in social serv-

ice work to take care of cases of
their own age limit. In helping stu-
dents in the hospital and health
service they can achieve a practical
work with students, of their own age
and interests, and that is often the
type of patient they will be called
on to meet in their future work.
Has Developed Rapidly
"What the future of the visitation
service is, one cannot now definitely
determine. It has developed rapidly
up to the present and seems now to
be quite securely established and
well supported by students who are
interested in it. At first all that
the Health Service did was to gen-
erally supervise the work of the in-
dividual members of the service when
they came over here. Now we have
been asked to meet with them in an

ganized it, was himself a patient in
' the Health Service, without books or
clothes. Wondering how many other
students were in the same position,
he decided to try and develop a group
that would offer its services to the
patients in the Health Service, to get
them personal things tat they de-
sired. At first, he id, he had
only four other students, with whom
he had discussed the idea in "bull-
sessions," to help him. Consequently
the work of that first year was ir-
regular and limited only to men stu-
dents.
Regular Schedule
Last year he interested the SCA in
the project and it took over its fi-
nancial backing as well as recruited
members to help carry on the work.
SGraduallyit grew and became more,
established until at the start of this
year it included 14 members. A reg-
ular schedule of hours when mem-
bers were to go to the Health Service
was set up, with two regular visits
to be made a day. Reports of cases
that could not immediately be taken
care of, such as meeting visiting par-
ents and helping them get established
in town, were sent to the main office
and there carried out.
"This year," Segalman said, "we
have tried to expand our original
visitation project into an even larger
social service program. The service
in itself, under Warrington Willis,
'39, at present has grown to 25 mem-
bers. But now it is only the most im-
portant branch of a new entire so-
cial service program being undertak-
en by the SCA. As a collateral serv-
ice, we now have a group of ten,
headed by Julius Morris, '38, that vis-
its students in the hospital. This is
perhaps even more important than
work in the Health Service, as stu-
dents in the hospital are in for a
longer time."
Job Bureau
Just being organized is a Job Serv-
ice Bureau, in charge of Tom Downs,
'39, who has done work with the Stu-
dent Workers Federation. And then
for students who want to make con-
tacts and acquaintanceships on the
campus, or who have other problems
a Personal Service Division, which
will have the help of three faculty
members when it is fully organized,
is being. set uip. All of these have
grown from the original Health Serv-
ice Visitation Service.
"One of the things that most shows
the success of our work," Segalman
added, "is the help we are receiving
from outside groups. The Health
Service is now taking a more active
part in our work. The Ann Arbor
Boy Scouts are cooperating in carry-
ing things to and from the rooming
houses to the Health Service. Now
we plan' to ask help from students
interested in sociology in some of our
work.

Dr. Fred G. Stevenson of the Uni-
versity Extension Division was re-
cently appointed to the Commfttoe

and follow-up of the National Con-
ference of Supervised Correspondence
Study, it was announced yesterday.
