The history of physical education] for women parallels very closely its development in many educational in- stitutions. The first recorded interest7 for it at Michigan is evidenced in 1891 when there was some discussion of building a women's wing in con- nection with the proposed Waterman ! available tennis courts, a hockey field, a skating rink, and additional space for other activities. The small white house which still stands was used as a field house.

Shaw, director of the Bureau of Alumni Relations and editor of the Work said yesterday. Because of the material not yet submitted, Mr. Shaw estimated that the "Encyclopedia" would not be ready for publication before next fall, perhaps not for six months or more. "t is necessary that we have most of the articles in hand before we begin the real editorial work on the vol- ume," he said, "especially since many of the articles deal with different as- pects of the same departments and therefore overlap in treatment. For this reason we are anxious to get the remainder of the material in as uickly as possible." there was quite a bit of elective ac- minied. The Board, through Prof. R. tivity.

Attended the Presbyterian church twice today. Pro- fessor Ten Broek preached both times and he delivered excellent sermons both times. In the evening I was at the Methodist (church) and was dis- gusted with some of the most bom- bastic and affected speaking that I ever heard. The preacher was a stranger and thought, no doubt, that he was making a great impression. October 17. Passed through the same dull routine of studying, read- ing and writing. At noon I went down town, nothing going on. Theatre in town yet-metamorphosed from a temperance into a real low wander- ing theatre of vagabonds. Politics all the excitement now.

I often think we do not appreciate the Sabbath and its privileges as we ought. I attended the Presbyterian' church today. In the forenoon we had a regular political sermon. It was remarked by one of the students that all it lacked of being a stump speech were cheers. There is a cer- tain girl at church who is generally listless and inattentive and who -gen- erally sits with her head turned from the students. But this afternoon I noticed she was all attention aid that she was with her face turned to- ward the preacher and consequently toward the students with mouth, eyes and ears all open, seemingly anxious not to lose a word. This was odd. But come to look, there was right in range of the preacher -a student who attended the Presbyterian church for the first time today and who is a general favorite among the ladies and under plea of attending the preach- er she was oggling him. November 2. In the forenoon we attended the Saturday exercises. Af- ter that we met with. Herr Mentsing who proposed to teach the German language. About 4 dozen signed. He is to teach us one hour in each day, Saturdays excepted, at the rate of 3 dollars per term. November 5. In the morning at 9 o'clock the students met and I was appointed chairman. The object of the meeting- was to make regulations for studying the German language with Herr Mentsing.

The intramural depart- ment now spohsors all types of activi- ties to pi'rmote wide participation. The Wom4en's Athletic Association is becoming more and more a coordin- ating body, the strength of which lies in the many interest clubs which have developed through student lead'ership. Frequent observations, discussions with members of other college facul- ties and available data from current literature lead to the conclusion that the physical education department for womfen not only compares fa- vorably with similar departments in other universities and colleges, but surpasses the great najority in ex- cellence of program, staff, and fa- cilities.

The trees will either be brought from Japan by Hanji Suma, and presented to the University dur- ing the June Celebration, or will be purchased in the United; States, ac- cording to Dr. Robert B. Hall of the geography department. Officials said the trees may be planted near the University Hos- pital. From a botanical standpoint it is highly questionable whether they will reach maturity in this climate if the meagre experience in the past with these trees is indicative of their ability to live, Prof. Harley H. Bart- lett, chairman of the botany depart- ment, stated. The trees which the Japanese gov- ernment presented to' the United States and which are planted along the Potomac river in Washington, D. C., have reached maturity and are visited by thousands every spring. 110111(5: Weekdays . 9 to 6 p.m. Saturday 9 to 9:30 p.m. DSNGEi ue-: Dear Miss Summer Session Student: HOSIERY 116 SOUTH MAIN Phone 2-2934 (I . --..-- ._._._v_.____._ May 14, 1937 C.
