By Service
University's Speakers
Maintain Contact
With Entire State
One of the valuable contacts 
of the University with the state
is by means of faculty members
who are assigned through the Ex-
tension Service to speak through-
out the State.
Although the budget allocation
for fees provide for only 100 lec-
tures, the large number of Uni-
sersity speakers assigned was
made possible through contribu-
tions from organizations seekingI
speakers and there is much evi-
cence that University speakers are
.ipreciated by the communities
towhich they are sent.
Go To Small Towns
It has been the policy of the
Extension Service to reserve the
free lectures for small towns in
the outlying sections of the State,
and, in return. these places co-
operate by advertising the meet-
ings to the public. Such contacts
throughout the state are of great
value to the faculty members and
to the University as well as the
public.
A recent study of the extension
student body showed that 76 of the
83 Michigan counties were rep-
resented in extension credit and
noncredit courses offered through
the University.
Education At Home
Evidence accumulated each year
shows that the program is meet-
ing the interests and needs of per-
sons throughout the state who are
unable to come to the University
campus, and requests for classes
from communities located at con-
siderable distance from Ann Arbor
are steadily increasing.
The recent erection in Detroit
of the Horace H. Rackham Edu-
cational Memorial, which will have
facilities available for the class
program of the Extension Service,
will make possible a more co-
hesive program of classes which
are nose held in buildings scattered
throughout the cit.s s E
Education School
Takes Health Role
The School of Education co-
operates with the W. K. Kellogg
Foundation in putting into effect
its health program for the schools
in the Michigan counties served
by the Foundation.
Advisory service on a propect to
improve instruction in health and
mental hygiene in the high schools
of.the Kellogg area has been given
by Prof. Mabel E. Rugen and Prof.
Howard Y. McClusky.

Alumni activities make the University of Michigan strong, and
here is located the brain center of the entire program. It is beau-
tiful Alumni Memorial Hall, on the southwest corner of the
campus, across State Street from the Michigan Union.
During the past year a revitalized appreciation of the Univer-
sity 's attitude toward graduates and former students has been
noticed among the alumni. Impressive evidence of this continually
increasing interest on the part of the alumni of the University,
and in the majority of the alumni associations was the launching
of 18 new University of Michigan clubs.
