Last Saturday plans were adopted for the new Students' Christiar. Association building. Spier & Rohns, of Detroit, the architects of our elegant depot, furnish the plans, which represent a building to cost, without furnishings, $20,000. It will occupy the lot directly west ol University hall. The building will be two stories high, the first floor to be ccsupied by the ladieg' and the gents' rtception rooms, the secretary's room, library and three prayermeeting rooms. The second story will contain the assembly room with a seating capacity of about 550, ar d living rooms for the janitor. The building will be built of our common boulders or "hard-heads" in a style of architecture entirely modern. The work will be begun next month, and it is expected the buildiag will be enclosed by falL There is already subscribed toward the building something over $18,000. The building committee consists of Profs. Prescott and D'Oige, and A. E. Jenning?. " The Daughter of the Regiment " will be presented in Ann Arbor, March 26, by the Boston Ideal Opera company. Of this performanee, the New York Sun says: "The production of Donizetti's 'Daughter of the Regiment' at the Pifth Avenue theatre, last night, was completely successful. M'lle de Lussau's presentation of Marie was at times somewhat exuberant, but scarcely too lively when the condi tions amid which Donizetti's heroine was reared aro taken into account. It had, moreover, the uncommon merit of uniting to its dramatic excellence and contagious spirit the positive worth of a lyric effort of a high order. The audience waxed enthusiasticovereverything; there were four or five recalls alter the first and second acts, and the final curtain had to be raised again before the crowd departed. The general representaron of the opera was animated and remarkably smooth, Mr. Baxter proving an acceptable Tonio and Mr. Clark an appropriately brusque and sonorous Sulpice."
