Honors Colony
Founding Of New Sweden
Marked By Exhibit
Rare books and maps from the
Clements Library collection are on
display this week .in the Library in
commemoration of the Tercentenary
of the Swedish settlements of the
Delaware River.
The exhibit, arranged with the help
of the Jenny Lind Club, of Detroit, is
made up mainly of maps showing the
rise of Swedish settlements on the
Delaware, starting with the building
of Fort Christina in 1638.
;Also included in the exhibit, which
will be up only a week, according to
Dorothy Chipman, assistant. direc-
tor of the Library; are maps and
books dating from as early as 1595
telling of the discovery of America by
the Northmen about the yeaf 1000
and' showing the Scandinavian coun-
tries at the time of the establish-
ments of the settlements of the Dela-
ware.,
The settlements, according to a
,pamphlet published in conjunction
with the exhibit, were prjected dur-,
ing the reign of King Gustavus Adol-
phus, and were established during
the reign of Queen Christina.
University Receives
Old Account Books
A colletion ofaccount books of a
general store in Marshall, Mich.,
covering a period from 1836 to 1926
reecntly was presented to the Univer-
sity Historical Collections by Mrs.
Edgar Brewer and Mrs. C. E. Gauss
of Marshall.
The account books are those of the

store maintained by Chauncey M.
Brewer and his son Edgar and are,
according to Henry M. Brown of the
Collections, the most complete set of
books covering so long a period known
to exist in Michigan.
According to Mr. Brown, entries
made in the ledgers enable historians
to trace social developments in the
town, through showing what the
people of the time needed and bought.
Historians can trace, through book
entries, the trend of the farmer away
from self-suficiency toward an exis-
tence more closely integrated with
the rest of society.

Manage Sports, Plays;
Aid At Health Ag'encies
University students interested in
social service work have found meth-,
ods of applying their interest through
the efforts of the Social Service De-
partment of the Student Religious As-
sociation which has placed 20 stu-
dents in volunteer jobs this year.
In response to a :demand of Ann
Arbor agencies, students have been
supplied to do office work, or act as
group leaders, dramatic supervisors
or athletic directors. These jobs are
not limited to those taking sociology
courses, but are open to all interested
students.
The Social Service Department has
also extended its aid to /students in
the hospital or Health Service. They
are visited regularly by volunteer
workers who run errands, deliver mes-
sages, and help them in other ways.
In an effort to acquaint students
with problems of community life and
the steps taken toward their solution,
this department has sponsored two
Reconciliation trips this year. Police
headquarters, courts, jails and com-
munity houses in Detroit and Ann Ar-
bor were visited where explanatory
talks were made to the group.

Rivalries, Fire, Com petition Tell
History Of Student Publications

By NORMAN A. SCHORR
Fraternity-independent rivalries, a
fire and private journalistic ventures
have all played interesting roles in,
the history and development of stu-
dent publications at the University,
which today include the Michigan-
ensian, Daily, Gargoyle, Technic, De-
signer and the newest member in the
fold-the literary magazine, Perspec-
tives.
The Palladium, a senior yearbook
published by the nine oldest frater-
nities is the oldest publication on rec-
ord, dating from 1858. With photo-
graphs and class history it continued
until 1896 as a leading campus organ.
The independents published a sen-
,ior yearbook, the Castalian, for five
years, beginning in 1866. Unable to
keep up with Palladium, they were
forced to suspend publication until
1890.
Castalian revived that year to com-
pete with the Palladium, now met
with much greater success, surpassing
Palladium in campus popularity. In
1896, a fire in the engraving house
made publication of Castalian impos-
sible and a merger with Palladium ex-
pedient for both factions.
,Inthat year, the compromise sen-
ior yearbook, Michiganensian, made
its first appearance and fraternity
men and independents smoked the
peace pipe.
The weekly University Chronicle led
the way in student news publications
in 1867. In 1869 it was united with
the University magazine to form the
Chronicle, a weekly newsmagazine
which was controlled and run by fra-
ternities until 1890.
The Argonaut, another fraternity-
controlled weekly w s published from
1882-1890, when an independents'
publication forced the competing fra-
ternity ventures into combination.
The result, the Chronicle-Argonaut,
lasted for one year now that the
newly-formed Michigan Daily was in
the field.
The Inlander is the first literary
magazine on record, its initial issue
dated 1890. After an irregular career
for one decade it was succeeded by
:he Painted Window in 1901 and
Whimsies which appeared whenever
there was sufficient interest manifest-
ed.
Contemporary took up the literary
herald in 1935 and held it for two
years. After sustained student ap-
peal, the Board in Control of Student
Publicatio'ns decided to experiment
and see if students wanted and could
maintain a literary magazine. The

result was Perspectives which ap-
peared in April, 1938.
Wrinkle, whose publication -dates'
are given as 1894-1902, was a typical
humor magazine of the day-a tame
Police Gazette with Miller gags and
cartoons with double-entendres. 1902
saw the beginning of Gargoyle, con-
ducted in the style of the Judge hu-
mor magazine.
Gargoyle, in 1933 became the first
college magazine to change its comic
style to the sophisticated tone of the
New Yorker, with, fashion' sections
a la Vogue.
