THE MICHIGAN DAILY TUESDAY, JULY 1, 1941 .._____________________ Camp For Underprivileged Boys Is Conducted By University Group 4>_ __ _ _ For 21 years the University Fresh Air Camp has given a summer vaca- tion to underprivileged boys of Ann Arbor, Detroit, Jackson and Flint, as well as providing a laboratory for the study of the problems of young boys. It all started back in 1919 when Lewis C. Reimann,. '16, star Wolver- ine tackle;mand Thomas G. Evans, general secretary of the Student White Elected To Presidency By Engineers Christian Association met on the di- agonal. Out of this chance meeting came more than a mere lasting friendship, more than mere companionship for two men; out of it came the nucleus of the idea that was soon to grow in- to the University Fresh Air Camp. For two years later the efforts of the two men resulted in the forma- tion of the first Fresh Air Camp for underprivileged children. It was a small but ambitious little camp on Patterson Lake, with its tents and several acres outside of Port Huron. A striking contract, in- deed, to today's modern, extensive camp on the shores of Lake Patter- son. Though personnel and location have changed many times, the camp has clung steadfastly to its one pur- pose-to take underprivileged chil- dren from the hot city streets in the summer and provide for them a real summer vacation-one which they could never have if it were not for the Fresh Air Camp. And it is in this strikingly modern campu on Patterson Lake, with its commodious central clubhouse, pro- viding facilities for wood and metal working, its general offices, buildings for indoor games as well as outdoor recreation grounds and a large porch overlooking blue, sparkling Lake Patterson, that more than 300 boys every summer are given "the time of their lives." Out of this one original purpose has grown another, which has done much in the advancement of under- standing of boy psychology. At the camp counsellors-usually graduate students in sociology, psychology or education-take the boys in hand and administer them the antidote for early life that has tended in many cases to make the boy anti-social. This psychological approach to boy nature is vividly illustrated by this example of tactful leadership. One of the boys had run away from three other camps-it was during that first year, 1921-under the stress of acute mismanagement. At the Uni- versity Fresh Air Camp it was decid- ed that all that was necessary was to give him some way to express him- self. The lad was given the "high" posi- tion of camp cheer-leader, and went home from the camp that summer a better and happier citizen. And thus the camp has fulfilled its two purposes, with the help of two Tag Days held on the campus each year, under the supervision of Prof. F. N. Menefee of the engineering col- lege. Students in the past have been asked to contribute to this fund, and have always responded, in such a way that every year more boys have been sent to the camp to enjoy a real summer vacation.j Kisling To Play Organ Here At 4:15 Tomorrow C. Willard Kisling, organist at the Westminster Presbyterian Church and music supervisor at the Ran- dolph School in Dayton, O., will offer a concert at 4:15 p.m. tomorrow in Hill Auditorium. Scheduled to be heard on the pro- gram are Bach's "Fantasy and Fugue in G minor" and three Choral Pre- ludes, Reger's "Benedictus," Vierne's "Scherzo from Symphony No. 2," Wi- dor's "Symphony No. 6," and "Choral -Improvisations on 'in dulci jubilo'" by Karg-Elert. EnglishTeachers To Confer Here The School of Engineering of the University has announced a Confer- mnce for Teachers .of English in Tech- nical Schools, in order to aid teach- ers of English in their common prob- lems. With the recent increase of at- tendance at engineering schools, problems of the teaching of English have become markedly difficult,, and it is hoped that through the Confer- ence discussions of problems and pos- sible solutions, some basis of experi- mentation may be reached. The Conference will be carried on from June 30 through July 18. but no actual course of study has been set up. No credit can be given for attendance at the Conference, but. parallel courses will be given in the graduate school of English and other University departments. The general program of the Con- ference will be held in the auditorium of the W. K. Kellogg Foundation. Read The Daily Classifieds!

WHITE Professor A. H. White, director of the University department of chemi- cal and metallurgical engineering was unanimously elected president of the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education at the group's 49th annual convention, held in Ann Arbor. First chemical engineer ever to hold that position, Prof. White was recognized for his outstanding work in the University and his contribu- tions to gas and fuel analysis. He has been head of the chemical engineering department since 1914, during which time he has written many research papers dealing with the manufacturing and testing of il- luminating gas and the manufacture and properties of Portland cement and the fixation of nitrogen. Col. Anson Marston, former dean of engineering at Iowa State Col- lege, was awarded the Lamme Medal for outstanding achievement in en- gineering education at a convention meeting. $1.85 Revlon Qua rtette Only 75c contains polish, lipstick, cheekstick and adheron, all for 75c.
