CAMPUS INTERVIEWS April 20
Morning at EE; Afternoon at ME
PENN CONTROLS, Inc.
GOSHEN, INDIANA

Back in 1912, Frank E. Robbins
got off a train in Ann Arbor and
hopped on a trolley car to Prof.
Campbell Bonner's home.
That trolley car ride destined
Robbins to a stay at the University
which has seen him watch ten sets
of graduating classes come and go.
It was a hot summer day when
Robbins made his way to Prof.
Bonner to confirm a job as an
instructor in the Greek depart-
ment.
w*
THE UNIVERSITY had about
7,500 students and Hill Auditor-
ium had just been built. There
were no men's dormitories and
only Betsy Barbour, Helen New-
berry and Martha Cook housed
women.
"We thought the University
was getting pretty big when we
hit an enrollment of 10,000,"
Robbins said, "and nobody then
imagined we would become as
large as we are today."
By 1921, Robbins had become an
assistant professor and was chair-
man of the classification commit-
tee during student registration.
One day while working at registra-
tion he was told that President
Marion L. Burton wanted to see
him in his office.
"He asked me if I wanted to be
his assistant, and I said yes."
That's how Robbins describes his
appointment in 1921 to the job
which he still holds, that of As-
sistant to the President.
SINCE HIS appointment, four
presidents have reigned over the
University. "President Clarence
Cook Little was the most contro-
versial," Robbins says, "but as a
whole they all have been easy to
get along with."
The authority on University
life terms the war years of 1917-
18 the most hectic in his long
stay here. "We had what was
known as the Student Army
Training Corps which corres-
ponds with ROTC today. Many
of the men were barracked in
the Union, which was "pretty
much walls and floors at the
time," he explained.
"In a large size shed, known as
the Union annex, the men set up
a mess hall. The SATC didn't do
too much and perhaps its greatest
function was to show what should-
School Bands
To Play Today
Bands from 67 State high
schools and junior high schools
will attend the Michigan School
Band and Orchestra Festival to-
day in Ann Arbor.
Concerts in the festival, which
is sponsored by the Michigan
School Band and Orchestra As-
sociation and the School of Music,
will be presented from 8 a.m. to
5 p.m. today. The bands will play
in Hill Auditorium, Slosson Jun-
ior High School, Ann Arbor High
School and Tappan Junior High
School.
The young musicians are first
division winners in district con-
tests held this year throughout
the State.
'Hamilton Woman'
To Be Presented
"That Hamilton Woman," star-
ring Laurence Olivier and Vivian
Leigh, will be shown at 7 and 9
p.m. today and at 8 p.m. tomorrow
in the Architecture Auditorium.
Sponsored by the Student Legis-
lature-Cinema Guild, the histori-
cal drama reveals the secret ro-
mance between the famed Lord
Nelson and Lady Hamilton.

New LS&A
Catalogues
Now Ready
Literary college bulletins for
1953-54 are now available in the
Administration Bldg., Burton D.
Thuma, Associate Dean of the lit-
erary college, announced yester-
day.
Containing information about
course content, concentration and
distribution requirements and Uni-
versity regulations, the catalogues
are published each spring to aid
students in making out their pro-
grams.
This year, a Literary College
committee is seeking student and
faculty opinion to determine
whether the announcements are
adequately serving their purpose.
The committee is planning a com-
plete revision of the announce-
ments.
Changes planned for the 1954-
55 announcement will involve
mainly organization, typography
and layout. A special section for
freshmen is also planned.
Dean Thuma, chairman of the
committee, has asked that stu-
dents who ' have suggestions on
ways to improve the announce-
ment report them to the com-
mittee.

ONE OF THE early members'
of 'The Apostles,' a club for ba-
chelor faculty members, Robbins
saw it succumb in 1943. "The wife
of President Angell helped chris-
ten the club in 1899," Robbins
said, "and I joined shortly after
arriving on campus."
"We rented a house where
some of the men roomed and
had a large board table for any
member who wanted to eat
there," he said. We moved sev-
eral times, he continued, but fi-
nally bought a place at 1015
