last month to the graduates of the col
lege inviting them to attend the 25th
centenary and reunion of the college
TO be held in Houghton August to
IL this year Another of these letters
will be issued next week by the pres
ident. A number of stamps and post
ers have been devised with humorous
drawings representing the grand
home coming and these will be posted
on the mail of the college. one of
these has a history. At a banquet
held a few years ago at Salt Lake
City by the graduates of the college,
and which was attended by President
McNair, one of the toasts proposed
was, "Houghton-in 1911, If we have
to walk" The picture shows a mining
engineer walking the railroad track
back TO the NJ c. NJ.
Reports from Lansing give the in
formation that the biennial appropria-
ton for the Michigan College OF Mines
has been introduced in the senate by
Senator Eugene Foster, chairman of
the Michigan College of Mines COM
mittee. The sum named I'm the bin is
$14S,OO0. OF this very little will be
used for Improvement work at the col
lege. There has been very little i'm
provement work done for some time
and no plans have been made for any
more for some time. The appropria-
tion is to be used for regular work
only.
Committee to Visit College.
1t is expected that the college will be
visited some time in the near future
by the committees on the college in
the senate and house Of the state leg
islature. Senator Eugene Foster is the
chairman of the senate committee and
his party usually arrives in Houghton
some time in the month of February
for their annual inspection of the
buildings and the work.
The college was visited yesterday by
Robert /. McIntire, graduate of the
class of 'O7. Mr.. McIntire is now To-
Gated at Helena, Mont, being a part
ner in the mining engineering firm of
Ropes & McIntire. He is spending a
few days visiting his former friends
in Houghton.
r. n. Palmer of Ontario. Canada. en-
tered the M. c. NJ. this week.
The play which is to be given by the
students of the mining college some
time during the spring vacation is
making good Roadway. number of
students are drilling for each part to
be played and as yet no definite cast
Of characters has been named.
The hockey team is doing some
and the management is
making efforts to secure games with
outside teams. A game with the Uni
versity Of Michigan hockey team
would be much preferred TO any other
and it it probable that arrangements
TO this effect can be made.
