SEPTEMBER 15, 1950 . . . . 3 THE AFFAIRS OF STATE THE PAST YEAR A grand total of 20,499 persons was enrolled in campus classes and extension courses offered by Michigan State Col­ lege during the 1949-50 year, according to the annual report of Robert S. Linton, registrar. Included in this total are 17,627 regu­ lar students, 783 additional persons who took short courses, and 548 enrolled in the college's extension courses through­ out the state. This exceeds, by nearly 500, last year's cumulative total of 20,005, Linton said. High point in enrollment was reached in the fall quarter, when a total of 16,243 students registered. This was enough to give Michigan State rating as 11th largest among the nation's colleges and universities in full-time enrollment.

The lowTer picture shows the gar­ den in the 1890's, with plantings "four feet or more in diameter, enough to fill the eye," as Dr. William J. Beal explained. The upper picture looking toward the north steps, was taken in August 1950, to show the garden's grassy vista.

THE BUBBLE, the first student paper, appeared in May, 1868. Seven issues were promised—and deli­ vered—before the graduation in November, 1868, of its editor, Frank S. Burton (who appeared on the mast­ head as "Hezekiah Z. Solemstyle"). Containing some news, THE BUBBLE gave more attention to bedbugs, the disadvantages of married life, and the delights of Lansing, Okemos, and Saginaw. There were, as well, serious articles like that of Charles E. Bessey, '69 (father of Dean Bessey) on the noxious clouds of tobacco smoke in the dormitory. 1937 T/Sgt. and Mrs. Don P.
