of the company, water stood on the
floor two feet deep. The state street
dam and bridge required much atten-
ton throughout the day as there was
a great fear that both would be car
ried away by the great rush of water.
A gang of men were at work pulling
out snags and logs from under the
bridge in order to give the water
more leeway. Many OF the objects
were so firmly held against the
bridges supports by the tide that a
team of horses had to be used to

its banks on the road running south

Ely street into the river. The roads

doubtful if the bridge and the dam

LIBRARY ENLARGED.

One of the great needs of Alma
college for the past year or so has
been new library building or an adj
dition to the present one. SO rapidly
has the library increased that all
available space in the stack room has
been filled to its utmost capacity.
Realizing this great need, efforts
have been made in different direc-
tons to secure an addition. Through
the earnest endeavors of Mr.. John
w. S. Pierson, a member OF the
Board of Trustees, funds were secured
room space.
One room on the second floor
which extends the entire length of
the building has been nicely finished
off Sufficient light was secured by
charging the windows on the north
side of the room. The stacks, at pres
ent placed against the wall on oppo.
site sides of the roof will probably
accommodate from ten to fifteen
thousand volumes. These will be
books which are seldom if ever called
for. They will be within easy reach
but will not take up room which is
needed for the regular working Ii

DAN DUNCANSON.

Many a student and alumnus Of
Alma college remembers the name Of
Duncanson. Those two brothers, Dan
and Sandy were the big men of
the first M. l. A. A. championship
baseball team that Alma ever turned
out. They were both on the team
that defeated the u. of M. by the
score of Al. One of these brothers
has been breaking all records this
year on the Michigan team. Dan
leads in base stealing, number of
runs scored and in fielding average.
He also stands third on the batting
list with over 800 He is surely an
all-round star and we are proud to
say that he got some of his baseball
training while wearing a maroon and
cream uniform.
These two brothers expect to be
back for commencement and be
against the strong regular team when
they line up for the alumni game
June 18th. This will be an excellent
opportunity for the present student
body to see the much talked of Dun
cansons in action.

being captain of the different teams
and coaching basketball and track
in his junior and senior years. Mr..
Grady won more honors in athletics
at Depaw than any other man that
has attended the institution.
The first team that Coach Grady
ship football team of 1910, the first
one that Alma had had since the year
1903 The basketball team followed
with another championship. The
showing in track and baseball brought
the school up with the leaders in the
M. |. A. A. 1t was this record that
made Grady the most feared coach in
the intercollegiate and Alma the most
feared college. In 1910 and 1911, our
football men held NJ A. c. to two
touchdowns. This spring it is con-
coded that the baseball team is equal
to any in the history OF the college
The track team, though feeling the
loss of Kefgen, last years star, is a
better balanced team, and will be a
contender in the championship at the
meet in Albion during June.
Mr. Grady is not alone successful
as a coach. He came here when the
athletic association was heavily in
debt Through his excellent fnanc-
ing a large part of the debt has been
paid off, while the teams have had
better schedules than before. The
college regrets the loss of Coach
Grady as his place will be hard to
FIJI with a man who can keep up the
standard set by Mr. Grady.
