4 Summer School As usual, the Michigan State campus will be far from "dead" during the sum­ mer months. More than 4,000 students will be en­ rolled in the six and nine week summer school sessions scheduled to start on June 22. A long list of conferences and work­ shops is expected to draw another 15,000 people to the campus. Among the new features of the summer program are two biology study sessions (June 23-July 30; June 23-Aug. 20) to be offered at the Kellogg Gull Lake Biological Station on the shores of Gull Lake, north of Battle Creek. Innovations this year also include an "educational series" Wednesdays during the month of July, sponsored by the School of Education. The 1,500 acre Kellogg estate has lakes, ponds, streams, a bird sanctuary, and other features of interest to biology students. Courses are open to all quali­ fied graduate and undergraduate students who have had the usual preliminary 'It is for us the living . . . to be dedicated here to the unfinished work . . . courses in biological subjects. —Abraham Lincoln.

The bat­ ting crown in the Southern trip went to the same lad who had such a high mark last season—first sacker Chuck Mathews, with a sizzling .437. Pitching was cap­ ably handled by returnees Bud Erickson, Chuck Gorman, Dick Idzkowski, and new­ comers Bill Mansfield, Ed Hobaugh, and Jack Wenner. Erickson showed signs during the Southern trip that he had lost none of the spark that won him second best hon­ ors in the Big Ten pitching race last year. And, in the conference opener against Northwestern he came through with a 4-0 shutout, giving up but two hits.

The latter film depicts Michigan State's philosophy on higher education. The Ottawa County Alumni Club had its largest turn-out in several years at a late April meeting in Holland. Some 75 alumni and friends met for a showing of the Rose Bowl game. At the conclusion of the film, club members discussed possible ways of spur­ ring the interest of alumni living in the county. "It is hoped that alumni activ­ ities will be increased in the county in the coming year," said club president, Al Bransdorfer, '50. Bob Toll, '49, of the Alumni Office, made recommendations to the group to spur additional interest.

I am sure attendance to alumni meetings will increase in this area with the dual club set-up," said Cranmore. At its recent meeting held at the Netherlands Club in Rockefeller Center, some 90 members were welcomed by Starr Keesler, '41, alumni director and the club's officers. The group had an opportunity to see the Rose Bowl game in color via the silver screen. In the form of business, club members elected the following to office: Charles Bennett, president; William Buss, '49, vice-president; Jo Roberts, secretary. The newly formed New Jersey Club will have a vice-president and secretary. Elected to those offices were: George Stewart, '48, vice-president and Harriet McCall Mat­ thews, '51, secretary.

11 Days of Yore GRBER OF EXERCISES FOR T II I By Madison Kuhn and Joseph G.

War on the National Character." The graduates and guests re­ assembled at "6% o'clock" and heard an address and a poem by two out-of-town politicians. As was true of the class of 1864, the class of 1944 was nurtured during war years. On the left is shown a part of the class (387 women, 254 men) which received degrees in 1944, the second time in the College's history when women graduates outnumbered the men. The other occasion was in 1919. Below are pictured some campus events of the war years, which the class of '44 read about in the State News.
