TAHE IICHIG A N DAILY _ Buildings For Men Have Had RapidGrowth Waterman Gym Built 1st; Latest Additions Planned Are To Be Dormitories Men's buildings on the Michigan campus have had a spasmodic yet rapid growth. Although the demand \for them was felt as early as the 1850's, nothing tangible was accom- plished until the last decade of the nineteenth century. Waterman Gymnasium, built in .1894, was the first of the men's uild- ings to be completed. The first gymnasium was an old military bar- racks which was transformed into a gy.mnasium about 1858. It stood nea the site of the heating plant of the old Engineering Building, and was used only in warm weather, for the construction was such that students while in the building were exposed to Ann Arbor weather. This make- shift was shortlived, however, 'for in 1868, the Class of '70 erected a gymnasium "in embryo," described by a graduate of '75 as "two uprights with cross-beam and ropes dangling- the remains of some prehistoric ef- fort towards' muscular development." Old Rink Becomes Gym In 1858 the old rink, later to be- come the armory, was fitted up as a gymnasium. Previous to that, in 186 student efforts had resulted in a fund of more than $4,000, to which the leg- islature was to add the extra neces- sary money, but the project fell through. It was not until 1891, when Joshua W. Waterman, of Detroit, long a patron of sport, offered to give $20,- 000. provided a like amount could be raised from other sources. Three years later Waterman Gymnasium was built at a cost of more than $6,000. Ferry Field Donated Interest in all forms of athletics made an athletic field no less neces- sary than a gymnasium. The part of the campus where Waterman Gym nasium now stands used to be an athletic field, which even in the ear- iest ,days was crowded and incon- venient. Much trouble with the townspeople resulted from the base- ball games that students were in the habit of playing in the streets. The Regents recognized the need for an athletic field and purchased, in 1891, what is now the south 10 acres of Ferry Field. This field vas known as l'Regent's Field" until 1902 when the Hon. D. M. Ferry, of Detroit, gave an additional 21 acres and fur- nished funds for the entrance gates and ticket offices. Subsequent pur- chases of property by the University increased the total to nearly 80 acres and built stands of concrete and a club house. , In 1907, a home for the Union was found in the old Judge Cooley resi- dence, which stood on the same grounds that the Union now does. The Union grew in membership, and by 1916 the present Union Building was under construction. The old Pond residence and the Assembly Hall, later Mimes theatre, which had been built as an addition to the Cooley house in 1912, were moved to the rear and united to provide room for the Union while the building was completed. The new building was hurriedly fin- ished for use as barracks and mess hall by the Student Army Training Corps., Hockey Began In 1923 The tremendous growth of inter- collegiate athletics forced a large building program on the University during the 1920's. In 1923, Weinberg's Coliseum, situated at Hill and Fourth was leased for the season by the In- tramural and Intercollegiate athletic' associatiohs for hockey practice games. In 1925 the University pur- chased the Coliseum and a lot ad- jacent to it which forms the en- trance. A new field house was also being built in 1923, built entirely from pro- fits of intercollegiate athletics. This new building, Yost Field House, "a pioneer of such a nature for college affairs" according to the Michigan Alumnus, provided for indoor foot- ball practice, baseball, track and bas- ketball. Two years later the demand for a new stadium gained in mo- mentum and a program was planned, chiefly through the help of the alum- ni. The program included plans for the stadium, a winter sports pavilion and a minor sports building having adequate swimming accommodations. The State, University, alumni and students were asked for their support, and the rest of the funds was to be supplied by the gate receipts. The present stadium was completed in 1927, while the Intramural Building, which provides "athletics for all" was started that same year. Geography Camp To Offer Courses Advanced courses in field mapping and land utilization studies will be offered in this year's Summer Ses- sion at the Geography Camp in Wil- derness State Park near Mackinac City, it was announced yesterday. The camp is located in one of the few remaining undeveloped parts of Michigan's Social Center For Men Forestry Camp Opens June 27 In Iron County Offers Many Selections; Will Include Swimming, VisitingLumber Areas By WILLIAM B. ELMER The summer Forestry Camp will again be held this year, from June 27 to Sept. 2, in Iron County, north- ern Michigan, according to Prof. Rob- ert Craig, director of the camp. About 70 students, most of whom have al- ready registered, will attend. The camp, as a division of the for- estry school, will offer ten hours of credit in forestry courses, with the primary function of- the camp be- ing to give forestry students their first taste of professional work. The day for students at the camp begins at 6:15 a.m., and lectures, 'field work and study occupy them until 5 p.m. The full week of hard work gives stu- dents time from Saturday noon until Monday morning for their own use. The camp is situated on the shores of Golden Lake, which is admirably suited for swimming, according 'to Professor Craig. The surrounding territory, part of the Ottawa Na- tional Forest, provides opportunity for the students to study the opera- tions of the United States Forestry Service and also the work of the Michigan department of conserva- tion. Also witliin a few miles of the camp are private lumber inter- ests which enable the group to see first-hand sawmill and logging op- erations. Those attending the camp may reach it by rail, hitch-hiking or by private cars, the use of which is per- mitted during the season of the camp. In addition to the $50 tuition, stu- dents also pay a $60 fee to a coopera- tive mess fund, from which the food of the camp is purchased and arty re- mainder refunded at the end of camp. REFUND OF FEES Any student who withdraws from the Summer Session within one week of his registration is entitled to a re- fund of his entire Summer Session fee, if in less than two weeks, he is entitled to one-half his tuition, and if 'in less than four weeks, he may receive 40 per cent of his tuition back. 4 T he University of Michigan Union provides a social and recreational center for faculty, alumni, and students of the University. Membership in the Union is confined to men and is included in the cost of tuition. Among the facilities the building provides are a swimming pol, six bowling alleys, a billiard room, a lounging room, and restaurant facilities. Ten Excursions To Local Points Planned For Summer Students A series of 10 excursions to points of interest in and about Ann Arbor and Detroit has been arranged this summer for students of the University Summer Session. The excursions will come mainly on Wednesdays and Saturdays and will last only a day except for a week-end trip to Niagara Falls. Fees to cover the travelling expenses will/be charged for those trips out of town. Reserva- tions should be made at the office of the Summer Session. A tour of the campus will be made on June 30, including an inspection of the General Library, Clements Li- brary, Cook Legal Research Li- brary, the Union, Burton Tower, Aero- nautical Laboratory, Naval Tank and other points of interest. A day, will be spent in Detroit on July 1 when the Detroit Institute of Arts, Detroit Public Library, Belle Isle, the Fisher Building, Radio Sta- tion WJR and the zoo will be visited. A trip to the Ford plant and inspec- 'ion of .the Ford industries at River Rouge is planned for July 6. Cran- brook School, Christ Church and the Carillon at Bloomfield Hills will be inspected later in the season. On Wednesday, July 20 and 27, excursions will leave for Greenfield Village in Dearborn, where a tour of the Village and Edison's Menlo Park will be made. The General Motors Proving Grounds at Milford, north- east of Ann Arbor, will be visited on Saturday, July 30 where a tour will be made to the Weather Station. For the last excursion a boat trip will be taken, to Put-In-Bay in the Ohio part of Lake Erie. 60( i Everything You Need for Better Results !
