president Of the nourishing Methodist
college. I'VE expect TO be able to use il

September. 1t will be thoroughly
equipped and viii prove Of untold value
to the college. The laboratory was given
us through the generosity OF Senator
Mcmillan Of Detroit and it will be known
as the Mcmillan laboratory. Work on
the foundation walls for tho Bliss library
will be begun in few days The plans
were accepted q week or % ago. The
building Is the gift OF Col. A. I. Bliss OF
Saginaw. IT was given 70 us on condi-
ton that we raised 10000 for . library
endowment and 10000 Cor . war
museum. The $4,000 10 about raised
now and we shall begin the erection OK
the library building Immediately. When
completed il will be the best arranged
college library building in the state
even better than the one at the university.

will be convenient and have ample facil-
tiles for work; Thomas w. Palmer has
