Letters From Boys

Of Summer Camj
Many letters have been received b
the officials of the Student Christia
,association which show the deep a;
preciation of the boys for their tim
spent as guests at the University Fres
Air camp. Some of these follow:
Dear Sir:
I am having a good time but th
best of it all is that "nature" th
man who knows all about rocks an
trees. Swimming is one of the camp
great sports too. Joe is very intereste
in having the boys to learn to swi:
before the section is over, and thr
Vern is a great , man in outdoc
sports.
Yours truly,
ED SCHROEDER.
Dear Sir:

place, that is to help clean the cam
ground out of papers and other thing

woods ands hunt bugs and do oth
things and go hiking and swimmin

The Fresh Air camp .opened for the
first time in 1921. Its founding was
due very largely to the efforts of
Lewis G Reimann '16 to An-u'a.11 o'er
' . A. A. V .St U S
Ives. It consisted of 175! acres of,
woodland in the Lake Patterson dis-
trict, 25 miles northwest of Ann Ar-
bor.
The property is~almost entirely sur-
rrounded by water and is very heavily
wooded. It is located on a neck of
land between Lake Patterson and Bass
lake. The camp itself is well situated
in one of the few open spaces. A
long sand beach stretches out about
100 yards from the tents, forming an
excellent bathing place for the boys.
A baseball diamond has been fnade
between the tents and the beach.
The work of the Student Christian
association is now to plan for perm-
ancy of the camp. Already a .new
permanent dining pavilion has been
erected. at a cost of $600. It is 28 by
42 feet and can accommodate more
