Diary Collection
Now on Exhibit
At Rackham
Writings Demonstrate
How Michigan Has
Changed in 100 Years
A diary exhibit now being pre-
sented in the Michigan Historical
Collections of the Rackham Build-
ing, consists of diaries of early Mich-
igan settlers, missionaries, officials,
and faculty men of the University,
and gives an idea of how Michigan
has changed during a hundred years.
Mr. Mortimer E. Cooley, former
Dean of the Engineering College did
not keep a diary but used small note-
books for jottings and memoranda
which are now on exhibit. In one
notebook, kept in 1887, are the ideas
and plans for the second engineering
building on campus-now the Auto-
motive Laboratory.
Charles Moore's Diary
Also on exhibit is the diary of
Charles Moore, who was president of
the Detroit City Planning Commis-
sion from 1912 to 1919 and who was
influential in planning the city of
Chicago. Active in Washington,
where he spent many years, he kept
a detailed account of his participa-
tion on many committees.
Another diary on exhibit is that of
Thomas McIntyre Cooley, Professor
of Law and former Dean of the Law
Department, whose distinguished ca-
reer in the law professional earned
for him the reputation for being one
of the University's most famous fac-
ulty members. The following excerpt
is dated Nov. 1, 1887.
"The Free Press of today contains
a clipping from the New York Sun
descriptive of President Angell and
myself, who are said to be great
friends but wholly different in char-
acteristics. The president is fond of
society for which I care nothing; ...
he is particular about his dress while
I wear a shocking hat and thread-
bare coat. It is amusing and has just
enough varisemblance to give point
to what is said."
First 'U' President Writes
On exhibit is the diary of John
Monteith, first president and also
co-founder of the University of
Michigan. His diaries are descriptive
of conditions in Detroit from 1816 to
1821 and of circumstances surround-
ing the establishment of the first
institution' of higher learning in the
Michigan Territory.'
It is interesting to note from his

U' Hospital Goes over Quota

University Hospital division, with
a goal of $1,500, reported to the
Community War Chest that hospital
employees had over-subscribed their
quota on Friday.
Mrs. H. Marvin Pollard, chairman
of University Hospital division, has
set the total goal which the hospital
committee hopes to attain at $5,000.1

Mrs. Pollard is being assisted in this
campaign by Mrs. A. C. Furstenberg
in the special gifts section and Ar-
kell Cook in the general or hospital
employees section.
Though not all pledges for the city
have been audited as yet, the total
of $89.431.75 is only 70% of the city's
$127,539 goal. Pledges in but not yet
audited, and late pledges should
meet the $38,107.25 needed to reach
the goal, Earl H. Cross, campaign
chairman, reported.

STUDENTS - civilian
students-came back to a
militarized University this
week. They found a Uni-
versity mcompletely geared
for war-time, found them-
selves outnumbered by
military personnel.. . Pro-
fessors too felt the change.
They're now carrying hea-
vier loads than ever be-
fore. Remarked one prof,
"Twenty-six hours, golly!"
TiERE WAS another
outcome of the situation.
A soldier stood in the Ro-
mance Language Building,
looked very glum and an-
nounced, "My god, the wo-
men are back!" It was
true. The women were
back, and quite ready to
take over all and sundry.
S. . .They were appointed
to the four senior positions
on The Daily. The girls
are: Marion Ford, mana-
ging editor; Claire Sher-
man, city editor; Jane Far-
rant, editorial director and
Marjorie Borradaile, asso-
ciate editor. This is the

be nicknamed Vassar these
days, the women are train-
ing for work directly re-
lated to the war effort.
JUNIOR GIRLS will
continue their stamp sales
project this year. Last year
they sold $40,000 in stamps
and bonds. And sopho-
more girls will again work
at the University Hospi-
tal. Freshman girls set out
armed with rakes on their
general campus\clean-up.
DURING the first few
days of the week housing
was the popular topic for
discussion. It was estimat-
ed that the freshman wo-
men would number 800 in-
stead of the 700 expected.
The grapevine buzzed with
rumors. Were beds really
installed in Angell Hall?
Dean Alice Lloyd ex-
plained, "It looks as if
more girls are staying in
college. And more are com-
ing . . . We have had a
difficult time in placing

was indeed a serious situa-
tion. Sorority houses and
dormitories were filled to
capacity and fraternity
houses were given over to
the women. It seems the
first thing the girls did in
their new abodes, former
fraternity houses, was
scrubbing and a little gen-
eral revamping . . . 11 :ra-
ternities have given their
houses over to members of
the Army Specialized
Training Program and 14
have leased their houses to
the University for the dur -
ation. Sigma Chi brothers
have moved in with Delta
Kappa Epsilon and Alpha
Tau Omega with Acacia.
Only other houses open for
their members are Phi
Delta Theta and Tha
Delta Chi. It all makes
one wonder what will hap-
pen to the old rivalry be-
tween the houses.
GLEN GRAY is coming.
Students were almost
stunned by the news. They

dents had believed and ac-
cepted it. But Thursday it
was announced that Glen
Gray and his Casa Loma
orchestra are to play for
the Bomber Scholarship
Dance Nov. 20. Moreover,
the Date Bureau will func-
tion to solve the old prob-
lem, "But how shall I meet
people." Once again the
women will not object that
the servicemen on campus
outnumber them. However,
the girls have been ad-
vised to remember that
these men may have girl
fiends-or wives-in their
home towns . . . Martha
Cook held a dance Satur-
day night. About 150 ser-
vicemen' were invited. 300
appeared.
