Tne alumni are rapidly organizing in Chicago, Grand RapiJs, and otber places, for the purpose of advancing the gymnasium project, and the Detroit people are not idle by any means. It is safe to say Ihat every newspaper in the country has placed the matter before its readers. Both the associated and united press com pañíes have spread the good news. Scores of arubitious, but somewhat previous, applicanta have written to the president anking positions as instructors, and also eubniitting proposals for heating, lichting, and equip. ping the building. When the gymnasium is erected, it will not be treated as a mere plaything. Physical exercise will be made a part of the curriculum, the ladies as well as the gentlemen taking part.
