IL, IL SC. WHOSE LIEE HAS BEEN A CONSTANT IN­ SPIRATION TO THE STUDENTS OE THE MICHIGAN AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE FOR MORE THAN FORTY YEARS THE WOLVERINE IS RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED. William James Beal, Ph. D.,D. Sc. 'KrTVf. William James , Ph. D., D. Sc. Roosevelt has said that a man, to he truly great, must add something to the world’s knowledge during his life. As we look about us for such a man, who is more prom­ inently in the foreground than Dr. William James Beal? A glimpse of Dr. Beal’s early life will show us that it was his own ambition that placed him in his present position of greatness. He was horn at Adrian, Michi­ gan, March 11, 1883, of Quaker parents. His boyhood days were spent on the farm and his early training was very limited. When asked what his early ambition was, he said, “Study was a bore because of incompetent teachers and my special ambition was to hunt squirrels and ducks and to build dams in brooks where I put in waterwheels and mills, hut now the planning and care of the Botanical Gardens is better than fishing and hunt­ ing for me.” When seventeen years old he entered the Raisin Val­ ley Seminary and completed the preparatory course in 1855 at the Lodi Academy at Lodi, Michigan. On Oc­ tober first of the same year he entered the classical course at the University of Michigan and in 1859 re­ ceived the degree of A. B. in this course. In 1861 lie entered the Laurence Scientific School of Harvard University and received the degree of S. B. in Latin in 1865. He was instructor of Natural Science at the Howland Institute from 1865 to 1868, during which time he was granted the degree of A. M. by his Alma Mater. In 1868 he was called to the University of Chi­ cago where he was made Professor of Botany. He held this position for two years and spent the summer giving lectures at M. A. C. In 1871 he accepted a position as Professor of Botany and Horticulture at this college. In 1881 he added Forestry to the curriculum and also started the Botanical museum of which he is curator. The departments which were under his supervision re­ quired more and more attention because of the increase in the number of students and in 1902 the divisions of forestry and horticulture were made departments, each with a competent head. This left Dr. Beal in a position to devote his whole time to his chosen profession and he has worked with untiring efforts in the interest of, not only his own department, hut of all others as well. While Dr. Beal’s time has been occupied in teaching he has found time to launch a number of prosperous organizations. While at the University of Michigan he became a charter member and the first President of In 1881 he the XI Chapter of the Zeta Psi fraternity. became the first president of the Society for the Pro­ motion of Agricultural Science, and in the same year he was president of the Michigan State Teachers’ As­ sociation. In 1888 he was the first president of the As- sociation of the IJ. S. Experiment Station Botanists. In 1887, through his agitation, the State Legislature provided for the organization of a Forestry Commission and Dr. Beal was appointed its first director; and when Michigan forestry shall have attained the measure of success which is worthy of the cause, Dr. Beal's name will occupy the greatest historical prominence. How that Dr. Beal is to give up his active life at M. A. C. and enjoy a rest which he so well deserves we hope that some of the quaint sayings which have been drilled into his students may he developed into hook form and then the world can know the value of Dr. Beal's “Keep on Squinting" policy. Preface. To schoolmates, to faculty, to friends, and to the alumni of the Michigan Agricultural College, the class of 1911 extends greetings with this hook. Especially to those men who have gone out from M. A. C. into the world of struggle and achievement, do we offer hearty good wishes; for to them is the fame of their Alma Mater entrusted, and hy their deeds is her work attested. After careful consideration we decided to name this In the way of kindly request, hook “The Wolverine/’ we ask those who succeed us in the publication of other triennials to adopt this name and make it permanent. We feel a great indebtedness to those who by contri­ bution and in many other ways made this publication a possibility; and we take this opportunity to thank them all. In the pages which follow we have endeavored to catch and store a true portrayal of characteristic M. A. C. life. May the photographs of friends recall pleasant hours of comradeship. May the jokes and effervescent wit remind the “Old Grad” of the half forgotten inci­ dents of his own college days. May the hook, lying closed on the table, serve as a constant reminder that there is an M. A. C.; and opened, may it interest you and reinterest you hy its reflection of her life-throbs.

Thru the dry, hot, parched desert BOBbed a cara- VAN. The party all seemed gay and MABY enough, all hut one GUY. He rode, muttering to himself in disjointed words and DIMM ICKtus. He was in deep grief, for he had taken a flyer in the market with all his cash on a sure thing, and had lost it all putting up MABGins. Still he might have saved his BACON toward the last by BUSSELLing up a few copecks among his friends to tide him over, hut his long-loved sweetheart had proved faithless and had thrown him down when she heard of his impending poverty. So he had lost all interest in life and had resolved to die. He had come from all the luxuries and ease of the COBT BIGHT into the merciless desert. The terrible sun had SCOBCHed him, the dry winds had withered him, but still the Gods for all his COLLING WOOD not grant him oblivion in death. He was alL IN DYspair of passing on, when raising his eyes he saw the trail had left the plain and they were wind­ ing up a mountain. Sinister joy showed in his eyes. He did a hack flip off his beast over the edge of a high CLIFF, and was lost to sight in the HAYS below. So he attained his end. WOODn’t that hold you for a while? A Reaction. Oh, a mol. of HsSO*. And ditto of Zn S. got sore, They mixed it for fair, And polluted the air, We Hope So. Steward, reading a notice: “Base hall practice try­ out to-day on the drill grounds at 2 o’clock. All men report in suits as far as possible.” If A man, looking up at some bricklayers at work, should receive a hit of mortar in the eye, do you think he would he mortified? Or, if— A man’s nasal organ should become rosy as the re­ sult of hard drinking, would it he correct to speak of him as, “just a little nosegay?” Or, if— A small hoy should hit a man on the ear with a po­ tato, do you think he would he irritated? Or, if— A retired type-setter should lose all his money and should return to his old job, would it be a clear case of “reversion to type?” Hort. student (musingly) : “Gee whiz! don’t a hot­ bed feel good to a cold-frame on a winter night, though?” Prof. Kedzie: “All substances which taste strong and smell loud, such as horse-radish, mustard, etc., contain sulphur.” Voice I: “How about limburger cheese?” Kedzie: “That is not a natural substance. What garden did you ever see limburger cheese growing in?” Where all had been pleasant before. Voice II: “Beer garden.” Jonathan Lemoyne Snyder, Ph.D., LL.D. George Welt on Bissell, M. E. A thoroughly technical man with the broadminded­ ness and culture of a scholar. A happy combination of good sense and good will that wins a^ place in the hearts of all with whom he comes in touch. Thomas Charles Blaisdell, Ph. D. All men have a mission. Some men feel the respon­ sibility of their mission to a much greater extent than others. Dr. Blaisdell is of this number. An optimistic believer in the gospel of hard work, and a practitioner as well. A man of the upward trend. Robert Sidney Shaw, B. S. A. One of the few big men who stays a man. He has been mistaken for a janitor, for a farm-hand, and for a “short-horn,” and yet at second glance no one ever failed to see or feel his power. Dean Shaw says some­ thing every time he talks, and everybody listens. Warren Babcock, B. S. A man with a few kinks in his walk, but never a kink in his brain. He looks you square in the eye when he talks, and a square deal follows. A peculiarly broad­ minded man with a clear, logical way of stating facts so that no one misunderstands. Modestly successful in all. Maude Gilchrist, A. M. Few women are original educators. Fewer women have the executive ability to cope with the problems of a co-educational institution. Dean Grilchrist has both of these essential qualifications. She is an all­ round woman, in a position to help in the development of better American womanhood. Arthur R. Sawyer, B. S., E. E. W. Lloyd Lodge, B. Sc., M. A. Here are two men who devote their thought to sci­ ence. Prof. Sawyer does business in a business-wav. He thinks, and thinks in this century. A man—firm in his convictions, hut not above argument. The development of this institution during the past ten years is a glowing tribute to the ability of our “Prexy.” Ten years ago this school had an enrollment of 528 students with a faculty of 52. In 1910 we have an enrollment of 1,506 with over 100 professors and assistants. And all of this has been accomplished in the face of constant adversity. Secretary Brown is a man who never neglects courtesy in business; a man whose character beams from his countenance. He is very sensitive to duty and is always just. He has a depth of thought and if he has troubles, they are hidden Toy that all-pervading smile. Addison Makepeace Brown, A. B. Secretary of College. Wilbur Olin Hedrick, Ph. D. Dr. Hedrick never loses an opportunity for argu­ ment. He is able to arrive at definite and sound con­ clusions,, hut is always open to conviction, and is tol­ erant of the opinions of others. A teacher who never ceases to he a student—fair-minded toward all and progressive. William James Beal, Ph.D., D.Sc. A youth at seventy-seven. An influence durin b o forty years of life at M. A. C. A living example of 0 3 hard-working man in love with his work. A homely, simple, hut powerful philosophy in all he says. An observer, an investigator, a teacher. One of the few great men with whom it has been our privilege to associate. Frank Stewart Kedzie, M. S. Professor Kedzie is least understood by the fresh­ men, and best liked by those who know him best. He seldom strews the student’s path with roses, but he has their interest close at heart. A chemist, a scholar, a worker, a friend, and thorough at each occupation. Rufus Hiram Pettit, B.S, A scientific man who hasn’t forgotten how to laugh out loud. Prof. Pettit has a thorough knowledge of almost every branch of science, and particularly of his own. He radiates good cheer. He enjoys life and aims to make every one else enjoy it. An extremely modest man with a keen sense of humor, and a dis­ ciple of good-will toward all. Lieut. G. M. Holley, M.S. Lieut. Holley has been here hut a year, hut we all know him. He won our admiration and respect from the very beginning. He is a thorough military man, reasonable and courteous in carrying out his duty. He enters into college life and activities with a spirit which is hound to make him a favorite among the students. James Fred Baker, M.F. Business is the word that guides the life of Prof. Baker. He works and works until it becomes con­ tagious, and his students work. His every action breathes of the strenuous, rugged work of the for­ ester. A man fully in accord with his “hurry-up” age. ful athlete—proficient in teaching all branches of ath­ letics, hut still more proficient in turning out manly men. His presence on the athletic field is an inspira­ tion to the highest and most honest efforts that men are capable of. A fair, square man who counts every person in this institution his friend. Chester L. Brewer. Some day we may forget our brilliant athletic suc­ cesses under the leadership of Coach Brewer, hut we never will forget the man Brewer. He is a wonder­ Miss MacDonald teaches us the value of a smile, and her smiles, like herself, are simple and unaffected; they are meant for all. A teacher who has solved the prob­ lem of treating students as equals without losing any of the respect or dignity which a teacher must possess. Pearl MacDonald, A.B. Charles E. Marshall, Ph.D. In Dr. Marshall we have every mark of a true sci­ entist. He is slow to arrive at conclusions, hut firm in his well-founded convictions. A big man—engrossed in his work, hut still more concerned with profound human sympathy. A serious-minded, conscientious man who goes to the very bottom of things. Joseph Alexander Jeffery, B.S.A. We do not have to he told that Prof. Jeffery has sound character. We see it in his countenance and feel it in his voice. He is a man with a profound sense of duty, and a true, manly conception of doing good which seeks no open reward. Mrs. Linda E. Landon. A woman truly in the right place. Her character reveals itself in a friendly smile for all, a kindly greet­ ing, and ceaseless attention to onr wants. She com­ bines friendliness, culture, and broad-mindedness in such a manner as to make for herself a place in the heart of every student. Walter Bradford Barrows, S.B. A man who lives doubly well on account of his great love for nature. His temperament peculiarly fits, him for his chosen work. A scientific man who has the faculty of making his study and research popu­ lar and interesting to all. A quiet, unassuming man —full of good thought and information. A nature student of the new school. Herman Klock Vedder, C.E. A true teacher. His presence in a class-room com­ mands respect from every student. Every moment of the class-hour is devoted to clear-cut, logical teach­ ing,—the kind that leaves one with the satisfaction of having really acquired something worth while. Stern and exacting when it will do most good, hut always affable and courteous. Elida Yakeley. She knows all about us. She keeps the records of our scholarship and knows when and how to tell us about our standing. Always firm and business-like, hut also always genial and read}^ to serve. A truly competent business-woman. Seeing the Campus in a Rubberneck Wagon. “Hither! Hither! Ladies and Gents! Take a trip to the Campus of the Michigan Agricultural College! See the sights of the swellest Campus of the U. S. A.! Oldest State College!—Help the fat party in there, Jake. Room for one more big one, or two little ones! Who’s the next? Come! Co—Whatar’yetryin’ to do there, fellow? If you wanta get aboard this craft get on by the gang plank! Pay as you enter, and don’t try to climb over the hack fence. Hey, Jake! Gather in this woozy gent here and help him in. Guess he’s lost his compass and can’t navigate right.” “Aw right, Cap. In you go, Si. Ho, Madame, he Just sort of light-hearted, that’s all. ain’t drunk. Aw right, Cap, she’s cranked.” '■ All right, Jake, leter flicker!” With one simultaneous muscular effort, Jake hounded into his seat! jammed one lo. 9 onto the clutch, the other onto the horn bulb, jerked open the sparker, hit off a hunk of natural leaf, clawed frantic­ ally at a couple of levers,—-and we were off. Cap, the megaphone man, stood up in front and howled lustily concerning the scenery ; hut the terrific speed at which we were traveling, the deafening noise of the auto’s internal digestion, and the Sahara-like dust obliterated most of his remarks. Suddenly a lady’s hat went overboard, and the piercing shriek which she emitted caused Jake to in­ stantly stop the car and jump out, oil-can in hand, to lubricate the left hind-wheel. We passengers seized the opportunity to take a few normal breaths, wipe a little dust out of our eyes, and to adjust as best we could our disordered apparel. How Cap’s words became discernible. “Here on my left, on your right, observe the track of the M. U. R. This is Baker’s switch. A switch is a place where a car can come to anchor and thus afford the passen­ gers a chance to both recuperate from the tortures of the past ride and to get up nerve to endure the spurt to the next switch,—or next relief station, as it might he called. Cars wait on switches—when they don’t wait between them. That antiquated junk-heap yon­ der, thru the front window of which you can see a chew of Five-Brothers surrounded by a Motorman’s head, is one of the two or three go-carts which con­ stantly strive to prove the truth of the saying 'Better later than never’.” A stop was here put to his remarks by Si, who, in leaning out to get the lady’s hat from a small hoy who had run an eighth of a mile with it—on a hot day too —and at the same time trying to hand him a liberal reward of five cents, completely lost his none too stable equilibrium and fell headlong out of the auto. His fall was somewhat broken by the small hoy and the hat. When Jake had restored the chastened Silas to his seat and the lady had finally decided not to put the hat on again hut to hold it in her lap, we proceeded on onr way. We chugged along the tarry road thru the Borough of East Lansing (which has a water­ works of its own and a sure-enough Burgess) and entered the College grounds. “Stop ’er, Jake,” bawled Cap. “Now, Ladies and Gents, here on the left you see the latest acquisition to the College in the edifice line—the Government Weather Station. It is quite handsomely constructed so as to create on newly arriving students a good im­ pression of the College; apart from this its purpose is, as yet, little understood.” “Behind it you catch sight of the College Hospital. No, madame, it is not very large; hut does not that It shows very fact speak well for the institootion? that the environment is healthy; that disease is re­ stricted; that the water is pure; that for meals the students get nothing hut—” “Shucks,” scoffed Si. “Whateryemean interruptin’ me?” demanded Cap. “I said they gave us flakes for breakfast, that’s all. No ’fence, pard, no—” “Well, stow your gah and don’t butt in again. Start ’er up. On the right is the arboretum and deer park. Yes’m, d-e-e-r, not a-r.” “And now we are in front of the combined Post office, Bookstore, and Waiting Boom. The irate youth emerging from the portals has just failed in an at­ tempt to persuade the Co-op clerk that postcards should be two for a nickel and not three cents straight.” On the left is the place where the cream of the teaching force, the sub-faculty, resides. The signifi­ cance of the nearness of this house to the car line prob­ ably strikes you. As has been said concerning the inhabitants, they are a tender sort of animal which is generally canned and shipped East at the end of the season. The name of this domicile is Howard Terrace.” Bull Pen,” muttered Si, in a reproving manner. Bull Pen!” snorted Cap. “Say, Bucko, you musta took in something stronger than the sights down in Lansing. This ain’t no barnyard! Let ’er run slow now, Jake.” “Take a view now of the Campus. Note the vast stretches of undulating green sward pegged down to the earth by hundreds of trees of all species. Now we turn to the right, up along Faculty Bow, which is a string of houses that shelters the high-brows. On the corner is that of the gifted writer, eloquent speaker, and fearless hike-rider, Thomas Blaisdell. And here is Professor Shaw’s—-and so on. We won’t go up— cut across the grass here, Jake.” “To the left is the home of Doctor Beal, the Head of the Botany Department. Notice how hard the earth is here. Seems like a cement pavement. The reason is that the soil has been compacted harder than a Physics Exam, by the martial tread of hundreds of students who drill here three hours a week in clement weather, for the glory of their country and the physi­ cal uplift of their bodies. When they" don’t drill here, they drill in there, in that building, which is the the dance hall, model gvmnasium, Armory—also basketball court, roller rink—What’s that, sir, you’d like to see the gymnasium? Grot a microscope? No? Well then, come around next century. That wing is the Bath-house, which contains shower baths of all de­ grees of cold water, a pool for swimmers, and—” “Lookee!” exclaimed Si, and following his direct­ ing finger, we saw a creature clad in a much decollete shirt, abbreviated trousers and a grim look, running toward the Armory. ‘“Track man,” commented Cqp. “He’s come from the Athletic Field which is down over that bank there across the river.” Now we struck a road and turned to the left, skirt­ ing the Armory. “Here! Here!” roared Cap, “here on the left! Abbot Hall, a men’s dormitory. When co-education was es­ tablished at M. A. C. this building was erected for the use of the ladies! It has never quite lost its ladylike character, being extremely quiet and—” Further com­ ment was inaudible on account of a terrific yelling which boiled out of the windows, a verbal cyclone with much “Abbot Halil rah! rah!” in it. During the tumult Cap gesticulated violently and pointed to a queer, flowery, sunken area in the sur­ face of the Campus, saying something that sounded like “Wiles garden,” but we couldn’t catch his words. One old lady asked as soon as she could be heard why they didn’t fill it in. Cap threw up his hands dis­ gustedly and continued. “This yellow brick building is the Chem. Lab. Catch a whiff of the “chem” part. The young chemist coming out backwards thru the window has not been blown out by an explosion. He is simply leaving at the request of Uncle Frank, who desires him to come outside and ponder over the inadvisability of pouring concentrated Sulphuric acid into a graduate which has just been used to measure Sodium hydroxide, with­ out first washing out the graduate. The sound like rub­ bing sandpaper is the Uncle’s ribald hilarity.” “Back over there, to the right, is Wells Hall, a men’s Dorm. The basement is given over to Club D, the attic to society rooms and in between these the State permits about one hundred and fifty-six men to ‘hang out’. A most studious and well-behaved Hall! In­ deed, they say, nothing ever comes off over there at all except the plaster, and, of course, a little about bed-time.” hung limply over the porch rail. It was a mattress. And surely enough the apparatus on the sidewalk was a bed, or at least most of one. “We are now beside ■College Hall, the landmark of the Campus and the oldest Agricultural College build­ ing in the United States! Note the queer architecture of those olden days; how the window frames all slant artistically and how the monotony of the brick walls is broken by large cracks. Its main function at pres­ ent is to serve as a subject for the Sophomore orator, who argues, ‘Shall Old College Hall be Torn Down— or Left to Fall of Its Own Accord V ” “Hoad to the right here and slow, Jake.” It At this moment there arose a muffled rumble. gradually became louder,—a queer, irregular bump­ ing sound. Jake leaned over listening intently to his engine; one old man hastily raised a green umbrella, altho the sky was perfectly cloudless. Suddenly the cause became apparent. Out of the east door of a brick building at our left burst a yellowish blur of furniture, which turned thru ninety degrees with al­ most human intelligence and slathered down the porch steps to the sidewalk. Before it was quiescent enough to be identifiable another missile shot out of the door, —but noiselessly and softly—failed of the turn and “This,” said Jake, in a relieved tone, “is Williams Hall, and the happening you have just witnessed is not an uncommon one. This structure shelters be­ sides a couple hundred boys, about that many thousand insects of the family Acanthiidae. These animals are so tenacious of life that the fellows have invented this method of ridding their couches of them. The violent agitation of the trip dislodges the bugs,—which creep under the nearest doors. The owner of this outfit will carry it back to his room after that is, it wTas built for a model for the new Ag. Build­ ing which you can see ahead of you.” “This low red-painted triumph of the bricklayers’ It used to he the Engineering art is the ‘Shops.’ a while and a peaceful night or two is insured him. Also the room can he swept out while the bed is absent.” During this explanation the windows of the Hall had become packed with heads of fellows who had been aroused by the tumult. Noticing our party the heads began to emit soft whistles, complimentaiw remarks and growls of all kinds. Soon there was added a sweet trombone slide, bugle blat, auto-horn melody of squawk and miscellaneous uproar. At the request of three young ladies who were the unwilling recipients of this imposing ovation, Jake hurried the car on. “This, folks, on the right, is the Engineering Build­ It is a model edifice, model in every respect;— ing.

It also harbors some vituperative forge and foundry. comment when the belt slips, or when the hell, cast after the way Ta and me uster do’er,’ cracks in the mold.” “Back there is the power house. Yes, I suppose ivy would grow up the chimney. No, ma’am, I don’t think anyone ever tried it. Sure it’d look better. I’ll speak to the President about it, certainly!” “And the new Ag. Building. The most beautiful pile on the grounds! The architects profited by the mistakes they made on the Engineering Building, and did a fair job on this. The edifice was constructed solely for the purpose of providing a shaft for an ele­ vator; which pious hit of furniture is used by the jani­ tor as a place in which to keep his brooms and dust­ pans. There are four distinct separate safety devices on the elevator to prevent its falling in case something breaks. Not content with these, the authorities have adopted a fifth, which consists in allowing the car to rest securely on the bottom of the shaft. The first three floors are used to support a dance-floor on the fourth.” “This is the Entymology Building,—formerly the Ag. Building,—this the Dairy, next the Botany* now the Bacteriology Building, and the Hort. Lab. Each built after a style of its own, and each exposed to the sweet odor of this brownish smoke which emanates from the disinfecting furnace of the Bacty. Building. Gosh! ain’t it awful!” We turned to the left up along a building which Cap said was the Library. “Containing the President’s office, Secretary’s office, the Bank, a Library, a Cellar, a Museum upstairs, the Anatomy Department, and a frog-tank in the belfry. A most versatile and diversified building!

You have just come from a (1-3) devotional hour at Chapel, and the spell of that quiet, restful place still hangs over you. (Prexy insisted that you shouldn’t cut across the grass.) After calling the roll in his usual drawling manner, the Prof, calmly announces that the class will go to wood lot Ho. 17.

After a five minute wait the last of the perspiring, breathless crew arrives on the scene; the leader proceeds to distribute equally among 15 fellows, 17 spades, 9 pickaxes, 12 shovels, 10 axes, 2 crosscut saws and 1 buck saw. The leader himself con­ siderately carries the class roll and a 3-foot rule. Then without warning he starts due south down the P. M. spur, and after him start the noble 400, (400—385).

Old Appleyard was very keen On designing a Hobbing Machine. ’Twas run by a blast; Cut gears very fast; Grol darndest thing yon ever seen. Nineteen Seniors worked on it one term— Made the drawings except for the worm. But Appleyard said, As he scratched his old head: “I guess we’ll get that from some firm.” He said we had got to the end, And for Baker and Wilcox did send. They examined the plans, And we heard some big d—ms, When the universal joint wouldn’t bend. Then the three of them tried to measure, The right forward tangential pressure. But before they got through, I’ll whisper to you, It looked like an out of date thresher. He started it running one day, Cut ninety-nine gears, so they say.

Listen, my friends, and yon shall hear Of the great sleigh-ride,— (not of Paul Bevere), On the fifteenth of January, nineteen ten: Ho lucky stude who was with us then Will forget that famous day and year. The faculty said, “You must not go, For you might not return till late at night, And you might upset in a hank of snow”— 0 dreadful thought,—such a terrible plight. “And,” said the Dean with tranquil air, “Who will the responsibility bearF’ Then spoke “Johnnie” and “Burky,” worthy men these, “We two will answer for that, if you please.” Thus was the party arranged and our protectors at ease. At the “Coop” we loaded, sixteen to each hob, Packed in like the grains of corn on a cob. The camera man took a hurried snap-shot Of all of the smiles that his camera could stop. Then with a loud shout and merr}^ hooray, And clang of cow-hell, we sped away; All hearts were light and free that day, And many a stern old faculty man Sighed, “Oh, that I were a hoy again.” It was half past one by Bert’s “Ingersoll” When toward Mason our course was bent, Prom sleigh to sleigh we gave the call And out on the breeze our class yell sent. Horses and drivers had nerves of steel; The mighty drifts they overcame; And the way they did it made us feel That a “Dash for the Pole” would he much the same. In the merry load of the foremost sleigh Parnell McKenna, of foot-hall fame, “Fussed” and laughed with a fair co-ed, Florence Whitheck, to speak her name; While “Johnnie” Johnson and Adna Sloss, Like “Jack” Kenecht with his Louise Horton, Gave an exhibit of fancy courtin’, At which pursuit they were at no loss. Then “Freddie” Bush and Korma Vedder Tried to see which could blush the redder. To Frances Mosley and “Herby” Mills The entire trip seemed very brief, While Ira McLachlan and Fannie Keith Seemed to he having entrancing thrills. In the second load there sat Bert Shedd, To Alta Gatchel nodding his head; Mildred Ferguson and Ernest Glenn Hoffman Planning to go sleigh-riding more often. “Editor” Chapin and Mary Graham, Having worn out their gum, were chewing a straw. While to Gladys Graham, Gordon Cavanagh Had things to say, hut couldn’t say ’em. Helen Emery and Hugh I.

While Minnie Johnson and Glen Burkhart, “Bah” Van Heulen and “Prexy Bill” May Were sober as judges all of the way,— Of well-behaved monkeys they acted the part. It was half past four by the Court House clock When we entered the streets of old Mason town. Into the K. of P. Hall we did flock To waltz and two-step to music sweet, Thence to the tables spread with things good to eat, Until the few short hours had flown, Half past seven was drawing near When homeward we started with song and cheer;— Such a racket old Mason doth hear, There were hells on the horses and belles on the sled, Co-ed and tow-head on a big time bent, And the jolly good evening that every one spent Beat any sleigh-ride of which YOU ever read. Songs were sung, both new and old, Stories related both long and brief, (Some of the stories beyond belief). Funniest of all were the ones Bert told. ’Twas a wonderful journey without mishap, That ever memorable homeward drive Done by the “Knights of the Stocking-cap,”— Although ten miles, it seemed hut five. Such a sleigh-ride as this in the cool fresh air Helps to make men brave and women fair; Then let us suggest to our faculty dear That they all take a sleigh-ride, at least once a year, While we studes keep college with nothing to fear. How meanwhile the Dean on her anxious heat Wanders and listens with eager ears, Till in the silence around her she hears On the gentle zephyrs that to her hears The sound of bells and songs so sweet, Of the inmost sources of all she fears Returning once more to their welcoming door. So o’er the snow went the merry train; And so through the night went our ringing cheer To many a manse and cottage dear; A cry of freedom along the main, A voice in the darkness to ope’ each heart’s door, And a song that shall echo for evermore. For, horn on the night-wind of the past, Through all our history, to the last, In the hour of refreshened memory, From our dreams we’ll waken and listen then To the jingle of hells and laughter free Of the great sleigh-ride of nineteen Ten.

Of course they are not so awful strong in athletics hut they aren’t organ­ ized yet. Wait until we win the class championship in basket hall as we are sure to do this term. Come on, dig out that diary of yours and we will hold a post mortem over the achievements of the class of 1911.” “All right, we’ll do it.

In this act, every actor took occasion to become acquainted with every other “actor.” The second “scene” was staged in the ban­ quet hall of the temple and that capacious room could hardly have presented a daintier appearance. The tables, at each of Avhich an even dozen “actors” and “actresses” were stationed, were elaborately decorated with southern smilax and carnations. The banqueters found their places by means of neatly Avritten place cards, the handAvork of our “Maggie.” While FinzeFs complete orchestra of Detroit fur­ nished music, all made merry at the banquet tables. An eight course banquet of exceptional sumptuousness In addition to the table decorations, the was served. banquet hall was artistically decorated with green and white hunting and palms. Southern smilax was also used to a considerable extent about the Avails of the large room. Without a shift of “property” the scene of activity was quickly changed from a great company enjoying the best possible sort of a banquet to an interested audience. The toasts Avere a big feature in the func­ tion. President C. W. McKibbin, of Lansing, intro­ duced “scene shifter” James G. Hays, of Pittsburg, who did himself proud by keeping his felloAv “ac­ tresses” and “actors” in convulsions of laughter. The stars of the “cast” Avere: W. W. Shanor, of Pitts­ burg, Penn., avIio responded to the toast “Enacted Scenes”; Mary Pennington, who spoke on “The Ac­ tors”; Will J. Sproat, of Grand Rapids, who elaborated on “The Actresses”; Guy A.fSmith, of Detroit, lauded our faculty by replying to the toast “The Stage Fix­ tures”; “The Applause” as responded to by Edna M.. Chamberlain Avas truly, “0, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, and most wonderful, and yet again won- derful, and after that, out of all hoping.” The last “act” was put on in the hall room—the stage aboAm as it was called. The dancing hall Avas a Amritable bowery of greenery and lattice Avork. OAving to the fact that the class colors, maroon and blue, are not Avell adapted to decorative purposes, the general color scheme Avas green and white, the college colors. All AvoodArork Avas covered with greenery and under the balconies booth effects were produced by lattice- like partitions, on Avhich southern smilax and green and Avhite draperies Avere hung. A part, of each lattice partition Avas a Grecian pillar, surmounted Bath a tropical plant beneath the leaves of Avhich gloAved a red electric light. White hunting was artistically hung around the balconies, in semi-circular alcove effects. The gallery Avas divided into numerous booths hv green and Avhite lattice Avork. These were filled with college pillows and chairs and closely resembled the mezzanine boxes at a metropolitan theater. Southern smilax Avas used generously in all parts of the build­ ing, the reception rooms being especially Avell dec­ orated Avith tills green climber from southern climes. The orchestra, instead of being placed in a pit as at the ordinary theater, was exalted above the level of the dance floor in the rostrum. A drop curtain, showing a very beautiful landscape, gave the orchestra setting a very pretty appearance. Palms and flowers were used elaborately in providing the twelve music- manufacturers with a beautiful environment conduc­ ive to exalting music. The hit of the program was a local production, “The Jolly Juniors/’ the words of which were composed by Miss Louise Kelly, of Lan­ sing, a member of the junior class, and the music for which was written by Mrs. Edw. B. Reid, formerly of M. A. 0. The dance programs were elaborate affairs of leather embossed with the college seal and the class numerals in gold. The menu and toast programs were also elaborate and were in the nature of souvenirs which will undoubtedly grace the walls of “actresses” rooms for many years to come. “Well, Woody certainly shines as a reportorial star. I guess I’ll follow It must have been a good party. his example and turn in.

Two years at M. A. C. had made Ben Ezry free of gab; And to the presence in the room he said, “Whaterye writen?” The Devilet raised his head, And in a voice most deep and fearful, Answered, “The names of them as lie most cheerful!” “Got me down'?” asked Ezry. “Nope, not here,” Eeplied the Devilet. Ezry sighed, and shed a tear. “Well I guess I can’t get in on everything, even If I do always attend chapel,—never cut drill,— Never fuss,—never miss my breakfast,—Move My enemies,—and always draw A’s in Physics!” sC- f** f i The Devilet took notes and departed.

Woodruff, Lawrence Addison Yuhse, iFrank Joseph Only a Sub. I awoke with a vague sense of having heard some one pounding. Bang--------- Cut it out there, cut it out,” I yelled, and from the hall came Chub’s reply: “Time to vamoose, Jack—nine-thirty already.” “Nine-thirty? Well—I’ll he down in a jiffy,” and I started to dress. And, say, Jack.” over my head. I stopped with my sweater half “Yah,” I answered. “Dot’s here.” . “The deuce you say.” I opened the door and jerked him in. “Why didn’t you wake me up earlier?” “She came on the 8:23.” “Where is she now?” “She said not to wake you ’cause you might need all that rest this afternoon,” and ignoring my last ques­ tion, he dashed for the door, yelling, “Jerk on that sweater, you chump, and come down and find out.” Confound it, hut aren’t girls crazy? Dot had said she would come on the ten-two and here she was on sweater the eight-twenty-three. Of course wouldn t do. No, I should say not. I had to dig up my best shirt and then—well, you know how hard it is to find collar and cuff buttons when you’re in a hurry. I At last I did get ready. So down stairs I went. the peeped through the door and swish—-a pillow hit me in the face. A roar went up, ’twas one on me. Cigars, old man,” I heard, and there was Chub on the other side of the room. I started after him; hut everyone seemed to suddenly decide to go somewhere, for I humped first into one and then into another, and at last brought up against three, who locked arms and held me. I knew there wasn’t any use raising a howl,, so hack I went for the cigars. Coach Gaines had tabooed cigars for the play­ ers, so I couldn’t smoke myself, even if there was small chance of my getting in the game. Still, I ought to get in. Confound it, hadn’t I worked as hard if not harder than the rest and hadn’t I been out to practice everv night. I went hack to my room, took down two photos, and sat down to think. There was mother. She had said that I could play, if I played as a man, as a gentleman. Today she was to find out. She was, if I. got a cliance. Poof, wasn’t I to get a chance—hadn’t Gaines talked to me about fifteen minutes after practice, and hadn’t I played as much as Sam the past week? Sure! I was I could see her to get a chance. And there was Dot. coming toward me after the game with radiant face and ready to surrender. But, hold on, I was getting the barge ahead of the tug. How about the game? We’d win, by George, if the bleachers had to he torn down. And if I got in—ah! there was one of those long I gritted my teeth and felt spirals coming toward me. myself running. Then—thud, as the hall hit my body. I could see the goal ahead, I was off like a streak. I ran, twisting and with all our opponents in front. wriggling. Only one remained. Then a gray clad fig­ ure appeared at my side. It was Chub. He threw him­ self forward and I was free. A touchdown would he easy. Then the game was over, and Chub and I were idols. Chub was a good sort after all, even if he was a little tantalizing and often joked me for sticking to the I was squad when I didn’t get a real chance. Well! to get it today, and—God willing—I would do my best. Wouldn’t the kids at home get all puffed up when a man from their town got in and helped win. I could see little “Red,” the newsboy, collecting his bets of treats, nickels and what not, for he was a born gambler and would be sure to bet on us. And then that little High School paper would casually mention that “Jack” Morton, class of 1907, had made the University team, and had won the coveted letter. Sure! I’d show ’em. Hadn’t Gaines called me aside at the end of practice last night. Hadn’t he told me that I headed the list of subs and that he intended to give me a chance even if we were losing. And hadn’t Chub been keeping quiet, and I hadn’t--------- Just then the train whistle blew and Chub came in for me to go down to meet the girls. ^ ^ % “I’m glad to hear it, Jack,” Dot was sajung, “I al­ ways knew you would win out sometime. Anyway you’ve earned it.” “I may have and I may not. But I certainly tore ’em up this week, so Gaines said I’d get a chance today,” I answered grimly. This was after the usual formalities of greeting had been gone through with, and Dot and I had walked ahead of Chub and Jessie. “Cheer up, boy,” she laughed, “or I’ll tell him to keep you out, then what would you do ?” “I don’t know,” I answered, affecting seriousness. Then we both laughed. As we passed the tennis courts the girls het us that they could heat us a set, so Chub went on up to the House after the rackets and balls. Soon the game was on, and the girls won easily. How could I play tennis! Shucks! I was thinking of something else. Chub kept nagging at me to dig in, hut it was no use, and the set was soon over with a nice big “naught” for our score. Then we had to leave the girls and go to “Table.” Everybody was hilarious, especially Gaines. He seemed to have an inexhaustible supply of jokes and puns. Everybody felt good. Gaines felt so good that he even let us have a little piece of apple pie. As he went out he said: “How fellows, be over at the gym inside of an hour.” So it happened that I saw Dot again before the game. We went down to the bridge and there, leaning over the rail, I asked her when I was to get my answer. She had been laughing before, hut now she became serious. Jack, slie answered, “I don’t know. I’m not sure yet. Wait ’til after the game.” “You mean, if I win in one, I win the other?” “Yes.” “Well, don’t look so downhearted. I’m sure to get in,” I bantered. “Now, who’s got to cheer up?” “But Jack,” she remonstrated, “I’m afraid that------ ** well, I’ll tell you afterward.” *** ***** As I entered the gym, that phrase, “I’m afraid that,” still puzzled me. Dot wouldn’t tell, even after I tried to bribe her. Confound it, what did she mean? Such thoughts were soon out of my mind, for Gaines had us in our suits and running through signals in our stock­ ing feet. Then, when we had all warmed up a little he started talking. And such a talk. Each face took on a grim and determined look, and no one moved a muscle. Quietly he told us what we were up against, what a hard game we would have, and pointed out their weak points as he saw them. Then he showed us what we owed to him, to Capt. Simpson, and to the school. “Fellows,” he said, “I’m kind of selfish. I want you to win because I’ve coached you. I know you, and I know you to he men. This is my last chance as well as yours, and you sort of owe it to me to win. Now Simpson, it’s your turn,” and he turned away, choking. “I haven’t much to say,” began Simpson, “only this. I have played for two years on losing teams. Last year I swore to do everything in my power to heat I need ten them this year. I can’t do it alone. No! others to help. You must work together and win, hut, above all, he men. That’s all.” Not a word was spoken among us as we went to the field. Instead, each man thought to himself, and here and there you could see clinched fists. The hand and stands broke out into “Hi, Yi—for Us” as we trotted onto the field. It was imposing. My heart swelled for somewhere in that sea of color were the two women in all this world whom I loved. But there wasn’t time for this. I took Simp’s place while he went to confer with Fordham’s captain and the officials. Soon he was hack and said that he had the had end of the field, hut had the kick-off for the first half. As the players lined up, the stands were quiet. Then, as Simpson ran forward, they broke loose. The game was on. Their left half had it. Back it came to the ten yard line—the twenty—the thirty. Would they never stop him! Ah! At last he was downed. Then they began a march toward our goal. First the fifty- five—the forty—the twenty-five—then the hall was ours. Simpson punted a good, clean fifty yards, and more than that, Chub stopped their man before he had moved an inch. Then the ball zig-zagged back and forth. In no time the half was over. Both sides were scoreless. Off in one corner of the field Gaines started again. “Fellows,” he said, “you held ’em down pretty well this half with the wind against you, but they’re coming back strong and you’ve got to beat them. Ohub, let Sinrpson punt more this half. He outpunted their man last half and he can double up on bim now. When you receive the kick-off punt right away and then hold them. Then you are within striking distance and if you don’t score someone is coming out. I’ve got other good men and you’ve got to win.” Then he rubbed sore muscles and patched up cuts. The whistle blew. The game was on again. Ford- ham kicked off to Tourney, our right half. He ivas off like a shot. He dodged first one, then another and was brought down on the thirty yard line. Now for Simpson’s kick. “Punk.” The hall sailed far over Ford- ham’s head and rolled on the ground. One man dove for it. He missed. There goes Chub. Missed"? No, he has it. Then the bleachers went mad, for wasn’t the hall on the ten yard line?.- Chub gave his signals. Fordham held. A groan went up and then all was quiet. Then came Chub’s voice—“12-22-19-61-5.” Simpson’s hall. Double pass. Punk—punk, then they piled up on the line. Everyone stood up straining to hear the referee’s decision. Up went his hand. We’d scored. The goal was easy. Then came the kick-off again. Back and forth went the hall. half all over again. ’Twas the first Wasn’t Gaines going to put me in? Here Fordham was rushing toward our goal. I glanced at Graines. He turned and nodded. Off came my sweater. “All ready,” I said. “Just a second—till after this play—all right, go in,” he said with a smile. I started toward the huddled hunch of players. One, two, three hounds I took and then—the timer’s whistle blew. God, was this the end? Was I, after all, not to get a chance? I stopped with a sob, caught myself and walked hack for my sweater. All around me the fel­ lows were being complimented, all around were smiles, all around were cheers; hut I did not—could not— notice. My only hope snapped; all my work gone for naught. The banquet—oh, well, I could go to that. No, I wouldn’t, that was no place for me, I wasn’t one of the hunch any more. Alone I walked across the field, alone through the gate, and alone to the hath house. Alpha Zeta Fraternity. Nearly a decade and a half ago the first chapter of Alpha Zeta was founded at Ohio State University. The organization has enjoyed a gradual growth since that time, until there now exist twenty chapters in as many states. It was organized as an honorary fra­ ternity for “students in technical agriculture, and for men who have shown an active spirit in investigation of agriculture.” Scholarship and character, coupled with the ability to use these qualities, are the prime factors governing membership. The Kedzie Chapter was established at this college in 1903, with Seniors of that year as charter members. Soon after organization a few members of the Fac­ ulty were taken as honorary members, and from this nucleus the chapter has been advancing. Meetings were held for a time in the State Board of Agricul­ ture rooms in the Agricultural Building, and later in the reading rooms of the Horticultural Labora­ tory. Now the Fraternity is comfortably located in the newly furnished rooms afforded them in the new Agricultural Building. The local organization elects to membership ten men from each graduating class, seven of the num­ ber being made eligible during their Junior year and the remainder during the Senior year. The basis for election rests principally on scholarship exhibited during the Sophomore and Junior years, due consid­ eration being given, however, to moral character and general interest manifested in the work as well as to other desirable qualities. Having these things in view and working toward a general, practical purpose, the association as a social organization has been lacking, hut now that they are in a home of their own this part will develop. The fraternity feels stronger also be­ cause of the interest manifested in it hv its sixty alumni members, a factor which will add strength to any organization.

The purposes of the association as set forth in the preamble of the con­ stitution are: “To mark in a fitting manner those who have conferred honor upon their Alma Mater by a high grade of scholarship as under graduates, or by their attainments as alumni; and to foster a spirit of liberal culture in the Engineering schools of America.” It has as charter members the eligible men from the class of 1885 and several alumni who were in sympathy with the scheme. Eor the first seven years only one chapter existed. The second one, the Alpha of Michi­ gan, was installed at M. A. C. in the year 1892. Since that time more and more schools have been granted charters until at the present time there are twentv-two chapters in existence, representing fourteen states. Michigan has three chapters, the Alpha of Michigan at M. A. C., the Beta of Michigan at the Michigan College of Mines, and the Gamma of Michigan at the U. of M. Eligibility to membership is based on scholarship, and is confined to students in the engineering courses of the institution in which the chapter is or may he established, who are recognized by the faculty and trustees as being in good and regular standing. The student who has the highest record at the close of the second year of the course is eligible at the beginning of the junior year. The remainder of those falling within the first eight of the class are eligible at the be­ ginning of the second term of the junior year. Those falling within the first four are eligible at the beginning of the senior year. While the records are depended upon for the grades, one is not necessarily elected after It is always understood having the required standard. that the grades must have been obtained by honest work. Congeniality and good moral character are also factors in the election of eligibles. Although not primarily a social organization the fraternal spirit is manifest and we may expect it to become stronger with the increasing growth of the association. GORDON CAVANAGH, ?10. W. G. May B.

At this time the chapter of the Phi Delta Theta Fraternity, as it was then, received its charter. The ceremonies were held near Faculty Row. On November 3, 1873, the first meeting of the Chap­ ter was held, and Charles W. Sheldon, ’75, was elected president, with Frank J. Armis, ’75, as Secretary. Among the others who were instrumental in obtain­ ing the charter for the Michigan Beta Chapter were: T. F. Rogers, ’74, and G. M. Sheldon. Literary work was begun with much enthusiasm, and the Chapter soon became a prosperous and influ­ ential organization, owing to the careful selection of its members. In the year 1898 a change was made. The charter was given up to the general council, and the imme­ diate reorganization into the Phi Delta society oc­ curred. The society retained its previous dignity and held to its literary work as usual. Even more spirit along these lines was manifested than ever before, and the society proved the usefulness of such an or­ ganization. former years “Old Wells” was the place of meeting and contin­ ued so until its destruction in February, 1905. The rooms were in the east end of the basement^ where in their home. After the burning of the Hall the meetings were held in various places. Upon the completion of “New Wells” the State Board granted the society rooms there. Here the organization remained till the fall of 1907. the Fraternity had At this time they moved into a new home on North Abbott Road, which they still occupy and where they enjoy the full benefits of literary work. 1910 E.

A serious thought thrown hack over the history of the Union Literary Society momentarily lingers here and there—on the humble birth of the society, the twelve earnest men who founded it, its vigorous hut consistent growth, its periods of rejoicing and depression, so to speak—but the fact on which that thought stops and dwells is made evident by the state­ ment that at this time, nearly six hundred men, rang­ ing from youth to old age, point with grateful hearts .at “Old U. L. S.” and echo the sentiment that this so­ ciety has done more to mold their lives and fill them with cherished remembrances than any other factor of their college course. This is surely the truly great thing about this society, as it is about the other so­ cieties which help to grace this little college world of ours. The more we think of it, the plainer the truth ap­ pears, that it isr after all, not so much the successes a society attains in the social, athletic and intellectual phases of its life, hut the influence which it exerts upon the character of the after-life of its members that makes it worth while. The incidental side of the U. L. S. history, however, is not without its interest. As the oldest literary so­ ciety connected with our Alma Mater, it has neces­ sarily had many and varied experiences. Way hack in ’70—March 31, 1876, to he exact—the It was no “Lit” brotherhood came into existence. small undertaking—to form the first literary society It meant to stand the more or less de­ of this kind. risive remarks of those who were in the national fra­ ternities as well as to overcome the obstacles which always rise in front of a new organization. But once on its feet, its existence has never been threatened. Rooms in College Hall and old Wells Hall afforded a meeting place for several years, hut in 1891 the de­ sire for a commodious home of their own caused the active and alumni members to erect the present “Lit” house, which has ever since been of inestimable value to the society, as well as affording no little pleasure to its friends. Today the society is in a strong and flourishing con­ dition. While endeavoring to partake in all the ac­ tivities and honors of M. A. C. life in a social and physi­ cal way, it still places the same strong emphasis on high character and scholarship in its members as did the twelve men who founded it, and practically the same constitution and principles govern it now as then. Evidence of the progress which the “Lits”, past and present, are still making is shown by the fact that work is now under way towards the complete remod­ eling of their present quarters. By the time of the triennial reunion it is expected that alterations will he finished and that the active members will present their alumni brothers and friends with as complete and cozy a home as could he desired.

The 12th of March, 1877, is the date which marks the beginning of the Eclectic history. On that day a number of energetic Juniors of the class of ?78 met in one of the class-rooms in College Hall for the pur­ pose of forming a new literary society. In this meet­ ing, Mr. J. B. Monroe was elected first president, and Mr. P. J. Lewis first secretary, and a committee was appointed to draw up a constitution and by-laws for the new society. Eor some time after the inception of the new society meetings were held in College Hall. But early in 1878 permission was given by the State Board to oc­ cupy rooms on the fourth floor of Williams Hall. This permission was accompanied by a gift of a hundred dollars from the Board to the society. The work and expense of fitting up these rooms was borne by the members themselves. Meetings were held in them even while the work of building them was being done. The new rooms were finally ready for dedication. Formal exercises took place September 27, 1879. The name Eclectic was not adopted by the society until March 17, 1878. It has always been the aim of the society that its policy should at all times he all that Eclectic signifies. The motto of the society is “Neglect not the gift that is in thee.” All through its history great atten­ tion has been paid to the drilling of the members in lit­ erary and parliamentary work, as well as to their sym­ metrical, moral and social development. The society occupied its original rooms in Williams It was then that Hall until the Spring term 1907. they were able at last to move into their new home, the Eclectic House, which had barely been completed. The building of the society house was begun early in July of the previous year. Its erection was the realization of more than a mere dream; it was the result of careful planning, of great effort, and of much sacrifice on the part of the Eclectics both youpg and old. The effort of the alumni as Eclectic Alumni Asso­ ciation is to make the building exactly what its legal name implies—that is a society library association. From time to time since the building was erected and paid for, the alumni, and particularly the oldest among them, have contributed liberally to the library depart­ ment. It is their intention that the building and the property supplied shall be used forever for the library which is now in process of accumulation, and yet the alumni are so loyal to the society that it is their de­ sire that the society shall always have in the build­ ing its permanent home. So strong is this feeling that the alumni have never permitted and never will per­ mit the society to pay an}^ rental for occupancy—the alumni being entirely absorbed with the idea of de- veloping and maintaining the society library feature at their own expense, not expecting or permitting the property to ever produce any financial income. In this realization of a hope long cherished the words of the Eclectic historian for the Wolverine of 1900 have indeed become prophecy, at least as far as we of this present bit of future are concerned. In the volume mentioned he says,—“Judging from the past, resplendent with success, and from the present, marked with sturdy conscientious effort, the coming years will be the brightest in the history of ‘Old ’Ticdom.’ ” May these words be a continued prophecy for an ever more distant future, and may the example of con­ scientious effort and sacrifice set by our alumni be an ever present source of inspiration for younger Eclectics.

To A. L. Marhoif of ’87 belongs much credit for the successful start which the society received. P. L. Wiggleworth of ’86, the first President, Everhart of ’86, 0. C. Wheeler and C. B. Cook of ’87, G. S. Teller of ’88, with one or two others, were the charter mem­ bers, and by their conscientious efforts the foundation was laid for the Olympic Society. By these first mem­ bers the important questions with which all new or­ ganizations come in contact, were successfully solved. To these charter members and to President Willits we shall ever feel grateful for the manner in which these questions were met and disposed of. Meetings of the Society were held wherever a suit- Treasurer, C. H. Cliilson Marshal, B. P. Patti son able place could be found until 1887, Avlien rooms were obtained in Williams Hall. These rooms were com­ pleted in time for the commencement party of that year, and have continued to furnish a pleahant home for the society up to the present. The social and literary privileges extended through the society have been fully appreciated by its mem­ bers, and the work along these lines has been held to the high standard set by its organizers. The annual oratorical contest originated with the Olympics, and in this and other phases of college life we have en­ deavored to encourage and support those things which would be for the betterment of the college and the im­ provement of its members. The Oljmipic Society attempts to bring its members into the nearest relation possible where there will exist mutual feeling of sympathy and affection, and where Olympics past and present may feel that there is a bond of everlasting friendship to unite them each with each and with their Alma Mater.

At the end of the first year the society numbered twenty-three good loyal fellows, and the future of Hesperus was assured. For a time there was no regular place of meeting, hut in 1890 the State Board granted the society the use of rooms in “Old Wells;” These rooms were occupied until February of 1905, when the burning of the hall de­ stroyed everything. From that time until the begin­ ning of the fall term meetings were held in room No. 7, College Hall. But that fall the society secured its present home just off the campus. The aim of the society is, and always has been, to develop and train its members both along intellectual and social lines, as well as to promote a feeling of brotherhood amongst its members. At present the society is in a very flourishing condi­ tion, having twenty-eight active members, fourteen of whom are in the society house. There has grown up a fraternal feeling which hinds them together and keeps them to work for the common good, as well as the honor and standard of old Hesperus. May she continue to thrive in the future as she has in the past. W. I. MILLAE, EMEBSON A. ABMSTBONG, Committee. E. L. Brown. L. G. Johnson. P. G. McKenna. H. W. Mills. 1910 1911 E. A. Armstrong. B.

It was on March 12, 1891, that the many animated discussions were brought to a close and the Feronian Literary Society sprang into existence choosing its name, through the assistance of Dr. Edwards, from the Italian Goddess Feronia. A constitution was adopted, and the society awoke only to he confronted by many perils and contentions which characterizes the history and growth of every successful organization.

In the A^ear 1892, the four hundredth anniversary of the discovery of America by Columbus, twelve enter­ prising M. A. C. students got together and formed the Columbian Literary Society. Since that time the so­ ciety has, by faithful effort, secured and maintained a place in the front rank of literary and social organiza­ tions of our college. As the name was derived from Columbus, so, also, were our society colors, the bright crimson and gold, taken from the old Spanish flag under Avhich that great­ est of all explorers sailed. By bravely pursuing a big conviction or ideal, Co­ lumbus discovered a great continent. Likewise, we, as members of the C. L. S., believe that by striving to­ ward high ideals, we may eventually discover great truths in life, and use them for the benefit of ourselves and our fellow beings. The characteristics which Columbians seek to pro­ mote are strength of character, scholarship and socia­ bility. Each year since its organization the members have reflected honor to the society by successful par­ ticipation in the various college activities,—athletics, oratory, debate, class work, etc. In the years 1892 and 1893 our Society home was in a class room in College Hall; from 1893 to 1896 it was in the basement of “Old Wells;” and from 1896 to the present date it has been in the northwest corner of the top floor of W illiams Hall. Here in a suite of pleasant rooms many^happy hours are spent in developing liter­ ary and social talent, and in fostering that fraternal spirit which characterizeshall the members. The Columbian Society lias been and is a great in­ fluence in the lives of many young men; the results of that influence can best be told by the works of its graduates and active members. In our hearts and memories our society stands second only to our Alma Mater; and may our slogan always be “M. A. C. first then Columbian.” A. L. CAMPBELL, ’10. 1910. A. L. Campbell. JVC. HeCamp. B.

Haner, who, by her presence and en­ couragement did a great deal to get the society estab­ lished. In the fall of 1900, the society was given the room it now occupies. On January 8, 1898, eleven girls with Miss Irma G. Thompson as leader, met in the Y. M. C. A. rooms and organized the Themian Literary Society, the second girls’ society to he founded at M. A. C. Eor the next two years meetings were held first in the chapel, then in the Phi Delta Theta Fraternity rooms, and later in During these years, there were girls who gave to the society that spirit which has given strength.

And not the least of these ideals is friend­ ship,—friendship in the highest and best sense of the word. So it was chiefly with this ideal in mind that the Sororian Society was organized. The name Soro­ rian was chosen because it means sisterhood, with its loyalty and helpfulness. This is what our society aims to stands for. The society was formally organized in 1902 with twelve members, and was given rooms with the Fero- rian society in the Woman’s Building. Since that time it has increased in strength and members until, in the present year, we have a membership of twenty-eight. In every way we have striven for an all around development, believing that only thus do we gain the fullest bene­ fits from our college life. Literary work has not been neglected.

A. room in Williams Hall and founded the Sigma Mu Beta Society, with John W. Decker as presi­ dent and Chas. E. Willets as secretary. In 1904 that name was. changed to Eunomian. With the opening of Wells Hall in the fall of 1906, the society secured rooms in Ward “D,” which were used until the spring of 1907, when a permanent home in Williams Hall was secured. These rooms, nicely arranged and tastily furnished, serve as the present home of the society. As in that first meeting, where the spirit of brother­ hood and good fellowship was so manifest, so to-day is that same spirit the dominant one in the life of the society, only grown stronger and more potent with the passing of the years. From a nucleus of twenty-two men, with all the difficulties of establishing a new organization, the so­ ciety has grown to its present condition of advance­ ment with its list of loyal alumni members, its present Registrar, C. D. Curtis Editor, E. C. Lindeman standing regarding matters of interest to the college, and its present ranking with the other societies. If an organization can he characterized by any one ideal toward which it is striving, the one in this so­ ciety is an aim to foster broad minded manhood among its members, its individual and collective interest in college affairs, and its spirit of unity of purpose. Prophecies are based upon antecedent probabilities. If the past and present are to he taken as a criterion, then the future holds much in store for the followers of Eunomius. The society spirit is best set forth in the closing lines of the Eunomian song: “May no fraternal strife he ours as our college life we spend, “But each to each our duty do unto the final end. “When others come to fill the ranks, when we from here are gone, “ ’Tis then for thee our hopes will be, our own Eu­ nomian.??

In order to he a well rounded man or woman, one must possess, in conjunction with a literary and tech­ nical education, a thorough understanding of his fel­ low beings; he must know how to cooperate with others in developing the noblest altruistic principles; and, best of all, he must form friendships, enduring and true. To this end fourteen girls met son March 15, 1904, to establish the Ero Alphian Literary Society. It has met with and surmounted the obstacles familiar to or­ ganizations of this kind, and now it is firmly estab­ lished, the stronger because of its early hardships. “Ero Alphian” signifies to us, love of the highest and the best. With this always before us, and with every deed performed with thought for the welfare of our fellow students and our Alma Mater, we are striving to lead noble lives. BARBARA VAR HEELER, ”10. 1910.

On September 30, 1905, in College Hall, which gave birth to so many of our present literary societies, less than a dozen men met to discuss the need of another literary organization. A great deal of enthusiasm was shown and after a week of deliberation the Au­ rorian Society was formally organized. The name Aurorian was derived from the Latin word meaning ‘ rising sun,” the emblem of which is seen in the so­ ciety seal. Hollo E. Keech, *06, was elected president and Daniel H. Ellis, ’07, secretary. To the constitution then drawn up were affixed the names of sixteen charter members. During the remainder of the year the regular meet­ ings were held in College Hall. The following year rooms were obtained in Wells Hall. Upon the strong foundation there laid has heen built an association of representative students embodying every phase of col­ lege activities. The fraternal spirit and moral standing which orig­ inally characterized the Aurorians, have heen main­ tained, and are in a great measure responsible for the success and present standing of the society. The Aurorians have already outgrown their quar­ ters and look forward to the time when larger and more suitable rooms will be provided. At that time we will enter upon a new era of success and progress, bearing out the meaning of our symbol, -'“Upward.” 1910 Hoffman, B. E. Thompson, H. E Edwards, H. C. Hailock, E. A. Hodgman, C. L.

C. came the need of an opportunity for those who desired to procure for themselves the advantages which can he had in a literary society. On October 19, 1907, Dr. Blaisdell gave the call for all who were interested in this work, to meet him in the college chapel. The evening found a goodly num­ ber in attendance. Officers were chosen and a draft for a constitution presented, which was accepted after some changes. A committee was appointed to select a name for the association. The name proposed by the committee was adopted and the “Forensic Society” was launched to face the hopes and discouragements which attend all new ventures. Time reveals many mistakes. Soon after taking rooms in Well’s Hall the society recognized that its greatest mistake was a loose organization. A new constitution was adopted which stated the purpose of the society to be, the literary, moral, and social culture of its members. Our growth, though not rapid, has been steady, and we now feel that we are in a position to take our place among the older societies which have done so much to develop their members and to advance the social welfare of the student body. The society as a whole feels a keen interest, not only in those who are now actively engaged in carrying on its works, but in the members who helped it in the be­ ginning and who have since left college. For them, and for all future alumni, we shall always have a welcome to our rooms, where we can assure them that friend­ ships formed in the Forensic Society are not soon for­ gotten. 1910 E. W.

On Saturday evening, November 7, 1908, a number of men gathered in College Hall to effect the founda­ tion of a new literary society. The routine work of organization was at once set in motion, and the Delphic Society formally entered upon its career. Beginning the following week, regular meetings were held in “Old No. 7,” the birthplace of so many college organi­ zations. Despite the uncongenial quarters, the society thrived, and on March 20, 1909, removed to its new rooms in Ward A, Wells Hall. The society now possesses a pleasant home and takes an active interest in all college affairs, being repre­ sented in athletic, literary, and social functions. If the Delphic Society continues to thrive for the present high ideals which it has set for itself, its fu­ ture is assured. President, 0. W. Schleussner Vice-President, P. L. True Officers.

The rapid growth of the Michigan Agricultural Col­ lege during the last decade has called for the organi­ zation of more Literary Societies. With this in mind, a meeting of those who were interested in literary work ‘was held March 5, 1909. The result of this meeting was the formal organization of the Ionian Literary Society. For the rest of that term the society met weekly in Loom 10, College Hall. At the beginning of the spring term, the society received the rooms in Ward D, Well’s Hall, in which they are now located, and which are being made into a pleasant home for the society. Although young, the society is strongly, organized, and if the interest and good fellowship now existing continues, the future of the Ionian Literary Society is assured. 1911 H. W. Ilowley T. H.

Conditions at M. A. C. as regards health and sanitation seem excellent. Following are some diseases which are most common and which appear to he peculiar to the locality. Nee Shaka. Freshmen are most subject to this, hut all students are liable to seizure. The attacks are usually short, and are not evidenced when the person is seated. Nature and symptoms: Swaying of the limbs with erratic twitchings of the muscles of the fihulo-fihia- femural articulation; accompanied by a blanched face and a semi-wounded look. Cause: Intensified homesickness; call on the ear- pet; term’s marks and Dad’s remarks; the sight of a football enemy scoring a goal; a glance from an Angel; first cigar. Remedy: The cure varies with the cause, a 99 per cent injection of grit, a square meal, an observance of the straight and narrow rule, splints; one or all of these help some. The only sure cure, however, and the one advised in extreme cases is to amputate the limbs and to substitute artificial ones. The disease is most surely manifested by the victim’s departure every Monday evening for Lansing on the 7:00 P. M. car. This is a reliable diagnostic indication. Other symptoms are a familiarity with all the latest song hits, and an absent-minded impulse to get the front row seats—in classes. Cause: A predisposing cause is a surplus of cash, coupled with an easy schedule and a laxity in the sphincter muscle of ihe money hag. Nature: The bij. oh. is caused by a germ which lives in intimate contact with money, particularly quarters. Students afflicted with this malady are sometimes fat­ ally overcome and have to leave College to recuperate. All students are susceptible, except, perhaps,. co-eds? who succumb, if at all, generally on Saturday after­ noons. Result: Continued exposure may result in crippled recitations and partial paralysis of the pocketbook. Remedy: No sure cure has been discovered. Spray­ ing the coin with Y. M. C. A. emulsion, or investing it in Bull Durham, sometimes affects a temporary re­ lief. This disease cannot be eradicated owing to an indisposition on part of patients to co-operate. Grinda. This disease is not very deeply rooted at this college. There are, however, sufficient cases to warrant its men­ tion. Individuals who suffer from this generally find comfort in solitude. Average students possess a pro­ nounced immunity. Symptoms: A desire to study after 11:80 P. M. Heightening forehead and falling hair. Left shoulder higher than the right. Talking in the sleep about Tau Beta Pi or Alpha Zeta. Unhealthy abundance of A’s appearing on the slip. Cause: Heaven knows. Cure: Grinda never attacks one afflicted with Bijou observit, so vaccination with toxin from that source has a beneficial action. Give up solitary habits; take a wife addicted to levity and tumult. In far-advanced cases temporary relief may sometimes he secured by graduation. Roughousionus. A very common ailment, for almost every student seems to have at least latent tendencies toward it. The disease works little or no harm; indeed some authori­ ties claim the germ is positively beneficial. Spreads very rapidly hv contact. Symptoms: A fellow infected with Boughousionus bacilli has a disposition to rove into his friend’s rooms. He is overwhelmed by a laudable desire to innoculate others with the germ. He pulls chairs, shirts, and tickles, throws arms and things lovingly about. A belligerent attitude is discernible. Results of the disease: Skinned elbows. Torn ap­ parel. Battered and scratched furniture. Polished floors. Protests from the guy below. Cause: Lack of a suitable place in which to work off excess steam. A jdayful temperament. Cure: Solitary confinement in a straight-jacket, or a boil on the neck. M.&y be removed momentarily from the system of one patient at least by having him kick a larger patient violently on the shin. Drill is on probation as a preventative measure, but with little success. A large, well-equipped, permanent Gym­ nasium would offer a suitable sanitarium for the male student body which needs immediate relief. Fussitis. Peculiar in every respect, and very difficult to analyze. It seems to seize both males and females; and not even the sub-faculty escape. An odd fact is that it appears to awaken gregarious instincts in the sexes, causing one member from each to seek sym­ pathy with the other. The most virulent outbreaks occur in the spring and fall, altho some very bad “cases” hang on Some healthy folks show an astonishing willingness to expose them­ selves, and some patients stubbornly resist all efforts to cure them. the winter. thru Nature: Either chronic or spasmodic. Tempera­ ture rises gradually in the morning and bursts out at its maximum at about 9:50. At this time the patients seem so feeble that they can hardly walk, indeed mo­ Lackatime. This disease gains its name from letters home in which the student reiterates the phrase “lack of time forbids”. Nature: Immediately after supper the spell comes on. The victim becomes burdened with the confine­ ment of clothes. He dons a pair of old slippers and a bathrobe. An elevated position of the feet, together with a liberal use of tobacco, seem to ease the pain. He rests easy, impervious to the demands of study and of work of all kinds. A fight or a fire galvanize him into instant action, however. Tearing up walks, or hauling a gypsy wagon onto the Campus, or stacking a room, gives temporary relief. Cure: Become editor of the Holcad, or jokesmith of a triennial college publication. tion is barely perceptible and that’s all. Frequently it is necessary for them to rest in a retired, secluded spot. In extreme advanced cases a pair of patients is more apt to consult a D. D. than an M. D. Cure: Co blind, get deaf, become dumb,—and then croak. Vitula Consumpta. Symptoms: Patients gather in crowds and howl lustily for sustenance. They eat largely and indis­ criminately. Persons far gone empty graham crack­ ers in their pockets and seldom speak at the table; occa­ sionally devour their neighbor’s dessert. To this dis­ ease the College Inn and Andy’s sideline owe their existence and large profits. Cure: Become athletic and join the training table. Fall in love or off the Ag. building. Feverish Posterior Smite. A most extraordinary pestilence. It attacks groups of men students, who forthwith gleefully band them­ selves together, provide themselves with an outlandish name, and, once a week, yield in unique antics to the cravings produced by this disease .(Further comments unnecessary). There are, doubtless, many more kindred diseases, but the writer has been unable to investigate them, owing to a bad attack of The Day is Best. Eduard Christian Lindemann.

It was easy to see that she would he a leader anywhere; small of stature, merry dark eyes and an enforcing personality. After a half hour of dancing and singing the study bell rang and the girls trooped noisily up the stairs feeling very wide awake and not much inclined to study. Elinor and Elorise Carver, her much enduring room-mate, went to their room and sat down on op­ posite sides of the table. The room boasted of two chairs, a straight one with arms and a rocking chair. Elinor always sat in the straight chair, her ideas al- wa}^s collected so much better, she said. To which Elorise replied that this collection of ideas was the very thing Elinor needed. “Oh dear, I wish there were not always so many things to do at once. How there is that Shakesperian review to he written, and page after page of Chaucer to he read, and half of the History of Art hook to he studied for an exam tomorrow. If the world would only stand still for about three da}^s I think I would get all caught up.” Elinor sighed deeply as she sorted out the hooks piled on the table. “Do you think you could do it in three days!” Elo­ rise looked up with guileless innocence on her face. “I would hate to say what I think of people who use sarcasm as a pastime.” And Elinor was forced to bury her wounded dignity in a hook. Silence reigned for almost half an hour, during which time Elinor read Chaucer and Elorise pored busily over the subject of Economics. Elorise was a well rounded girl who could turn her hand to anything. Her blue eyes and lovely complexion of the blond type made her beautiful of face hut it was the beauty of her character which most attracted. It was she who comforted the homesick freshman|helped the puzzled sophomore over a chemistry problem, was ready for a lark with the juniors, and was a friend of the seniors. Eleanor adored her, “because, dear,) you are always so unselfish and accommodating.” “Come on to Janet’s room with me. I felt a perfectly good tablet there, and if I don’t hurry and get it I It is wonderful the way tab­ won’t ever see it again. lets have of fading away from one’s visage in a very short time, especially when examinations are ap­ proaching.” The Chaucer hook was closed and Elinor stood waiting. “But, Elinor, I don’t know a thing about'this Eco­ nomics,” pleaded Elorise. “Well, if von don’t now, you never will. You know you are the only one in the class who knows a thing, and Professor Harper would let you through if you failed every day for a week. ‘Oh, for a pull with the Powers/ Come on you might as well; I’d go alone hut I am afraid I’ll meet Prances Davids and I haven’t paid her my class dues. You see if you are along it lends me an added dignity.” “You flatterer. I’ll go, I suppose, hut I must hurry hack. You will probably stop and talk to everyone you see.” Plorise reluctantly closed her hook. It is quite maddening to just become interested in an uninterest­ ing subject and then have one’s mind suddenly jerked away. “I swear on my honor as a gentleman that I won’t say more than a feeble smile to Prances Davids, even if I fall over her.” “Why don’t you pay her then, and not let it haunt It went against Plorise’s sense of honesty to you sol” he in debt. “That’s j ust what I wanted to do hut she wouldn’t take stamps and I have a whole dollar’s worth that mother sent.” The hardest thing of Elinor’s college course was to keep any wealth by her, except stamps.

This ladder was a very unobtrusive wooden affair in appear-- ance as it leaned fast against the wall and it had never before attracted particular attention. How as Eli­ nor and Plorise returned to their room along the hall Elinor stopped short. “Plorise, what does that ladder make you think of1?” Her eyes sparkled with inspiration hut Plorise’s blue ones gave hack one no echoing thought as she said, “Why I don’t know. I suppose even if this building should catch fire nobody would know enough to---------.” It makes me think of something In fact I have a perfectly grand inspiration,” lovely. and Elinor hugged her room-mate in ecstasy. “Oh, you stupid. “Is it a more practical one than the time you used that chafing dish and set-the curtains on fire?” Plo­ rise could not help reminding her exuberant friend of her last escapade. “You wicked girl; you promised never to mention that. But I don’t care, the plan that I have now will far eclipse all others. Can’t you think what two girls could do with a ladder? I will tell you what two girls are going to do with it. So—she deftly unfastened it from the wall—“help me—no, wait a minute the dean’s down at the other end of the hall—look out of the window. I could stand here all the evening and look out, couldn’t you? Isn’t it grand out? “Yes, but I hope I won’t have to. Now she has gone. What on earth are you going to do?” After a furtive look around, Florise turned to the ladder again. “Take it into our room—hurry, then I’ll tell you. It’s a good thing that it is so light.” When the light structure was safely in their room Elinor cautiously locked the door,, raised the window to its full height and then turned to Florise. “I am hungry as—as—a hear and my reflections make me hungrier yet. What I propose to do is to slide this ladder out the window, climb down, go to the store and get something to eat—hurry hack, crawl in again, and we will have a feast for the gods. How doesn’t that sound alluring?” “It does, certainly, hut he careful that you don’t get lured away.” “You are a dear, have you any money? and I will pay you hack the very first thing when mine comes.” In an incredibly short time Elinor Armstrong, dig­ nified Junior by trade, was speeding to the store. Hot so much because she was hungry, hut it was something to do. To he sure there were lessons to get—hut one ought to have a good time at college; the best years of one’s life. Such were the thoughts that flashed thru Elinor’s head and kept time with her feet as she fiew along. The store was just about to close hut her purchases were soon made—olives, peanut butter and rolls—and she was hurrying hack toward the building. She was almost under her window before she glanced up— where was the ladder? that was impossible. It couldn’t have fallen down; “Florise, Florise,” Elinor called as loud as she dared —“Florise.” An answering head appeared in the win­ dow above. “Where is that ladder?” “Isn’t it there? It must he; I haven’t touched it since you left. “Someone has taken it; what shall I do; I must get in; hand down a chair, that will help some and hurry.” Elinor was always into some scrape, hut had never been caught so far and had no desire to be now. “Here catch thefse things. I can’t throw straight I suppose.” After much laughter and the haste which makes waste, the eatables were safely within. “Can you help pull me up—-you will have to, Flo- rise—there—if I can—just get hold—of the ledge—I’ll be all stretched to pieces. There—now—I’m up. But wasn’t it. awful. Where do you suppose that ladder can be?” Elinor scanned the ground from the window hut saw no signs of the missing article. Just as she turned toward the room again unmistakable snickers were heard outside. “Oh, Florise, it was those horrid fellows. Isn’t that mean—that was Dave Harlow’s laugh as plain as any­ thing. How I don’t suppose that I will ever hear the last of this. It is funny though.” And both girls laughed as the ridiculousness of the whole situation dawned upon them. “Whatever will he done about If Heine should miss it when he is dust­ that ladder? ing around wouldn’t he have a fit? Well we might as well eat and forget our troubles.” To Elinor it would he a sin to let a trifle like a missing ladder disturb her appetite for a spread. “It seems as though we ought to ask in some of the other girls to help us eat it, don’t you think so?” asked Elorise as she nibbled the sugar off the top of a roll. “Unselfish as ever, aren’t you? I’ll tell you, let’s have 1STell and Ethel come in. When they ask where we got the things, we can carelessly remark that they came in thru the window—some of the fellows were over. That will impress them.” And Elinor assumed her most bored-beyond-existence expression. After their guests had been duly impressed, had eaten and departed, Elinor yawned mightily: “I guess I won’t study any more tonight. I have had enough excitement for one evening.” What was the use of studying at night when one had almost half an hour in the morning to get the day’s lessons before class time? At least that was Elinor’s theory and it had worked with fair success so far. She had that enviable quality of always getting through whether she studied, much or not—brilliancy we might call it. The next day at lunch one girl innocently remarked that she heard Heine tell Mrs. Heine that when he un­ locked the front door that morning he found a wooden ladder lying in front of the door. “Probably just some freshman prank,” and Elinor turned to the girl on the other side and asked her what she thought of Mrs. “Prexy’s” new hat.

A. C. Farmers’ Club was organized in 1899 under the auspices of the State Association of Farmers’ Clubs. The object of the club is to obtain a broader insight into the methods of practical Agriculture and a clearer understanding of its underlying principles. A knowledge of the organization and management of farmers’ organizations is also secured, as well as prac­ tice in speaking and in leading discussions. At the meetings, which are held every Tuesday even­ ing, addresses are given by members of the Faculty, successful farmers, and students themselves, upon sub­ jects relating to practical agriculture. This year has been a successful one for the club. The number in attendance has been the largest in its his­ tory, and many interesting meetings have been held. From the rapid advance which Agriculture is making we can look forward to greater success than we have as yet attained. P. L. TAYLOP, ’10. The Agricultural Course. Providing food for the world’s population is a task of gigantic proportions. The older the world becomes and the more numerous its inhabitants, the greater the task. The problems confronting food producers are constantly becoming more numerous and intricate. In a new country the pioneer is not confronted by complex scientific problems. His task, though arduous, is a plain, simple one consisting in unlocking the rich storehouse of fertility found in the virgin soil, by clear­ ing and breaking the land, thus rendering it productive for the maintenance of man and domestic animals. Ever since our soils have been brought under cultiva­ tion there has been a constant tendency to draw upon their reserve stores of plant food nutrients without making an adequate return. The great problem, the farmer today is one of conserving the fertility remain­ ing in the soil and as far as possible restoring that which has been removed. These conditions demand a scientific knowledge of all practices pertaining to ag­ riculture. therefore, confronting The farmer of today should know how crops feed and grow, which involves studies in geology, physics, chemistry and bacteriology^ in their relation to soils and fertilizers as well as the physiology^ of the plant. Plant adaptations, their relations one to another and cultural methods are also fundamental. Horticultural productions have been increased in variety, quantity and quality through the art of the plant breeder. A knowledge of this work is essential to continued progress. The success of the horticulturist is largely dependent on scientific training to suppress the ravages of insects, parasitic fungi, bacterial blights, etc. To he a successful dairyman one must know the best types of dairy animals, the composition, digestibility and proper combination of feed stuffs; the physiology of digestion and assimilation; and the chemistry and bacteriology of milk and its products. A knowledge of sanitation in relation to the animal, the stable, the dairy and market facilities is essential. Much of the essential knowledge of the dairyman is required by the producer of beef, mutton, pork and the flesh and eggs of poultry. In both cases studies in anatomy, physiology, veterinary science, etc., are help­ ful in the prevention of losses from the ravages of dis­ ease and in the application of curative measures. As much of the hand labor heretofore involved in farm ^ operations has been improved machinery, the farmer must have a knowledge of farm mechanics in order to increase the efficiency, durability and economy of the machine. Hence practice work in blacksmithing, carpentry, poyver machinery, farm machinery, concrete work, pipe fitting, etc., is essential. replaced by All the scientific studies mentioned heretofore as well as some others in addition to the applied work are offered as training in the agricultural course. ^ Mention should also he made of the studies which train young men to speak fluently, write correctly and occupy gracefully positions of official dignity and importance among their fellow men. The graduates of the long courses are adhering almost without exception to their chosen profession, part as actual farmers and the balance as investigators and educators along agricul­ tural lines. Those who have attended the short courses are accomplishing far more than the average in the ap­ plication of economical methods applied to practical agriculture. „ % Prof. Ryder: “Why was the tariff proposed?” Miss------: “To protect the infant industry.7’ During the recent “anti-feed” inspection in the Woman’s Building, butterchips went up to five per, but a glance at the lawn in front of the Hall will prove that they came down. Student Council. The Forestry Club was organized as a result of a feed which the Junior and Senior Foresters held early in the fall term of 1903. The late Prof. Bogue was the moving spirit of the organization. The first regular meeting was held the evening of November 3, 1903. At this meeting F. H. Sanford, present Assistant Professor of Forestry, was elected Chief Forester and A. N. Robson, Chief of Records. The Forestry Club was known as the M. A. C. For­ esters until the middle of 1907* when it was changed to the M. A. C. Forestry Club. The object of the club is to deal with forestry prob­ lems which are not touched in the . class room*'and to awaken interest along forestry lines. The practice of the club is to divide the work of the club between the members and outside speakers. The club holds its meetings in the assembly room of the Dairy Building at 6:45 P. M. every other Tues­ day. Forestry Department. Past. Forestry was first offered as one of the elective courses in Botany by Dr. W. J. Beal during the College year 1881. It then consisted of a series of lectures on some of our more important native trees. Besides of­ fering a special course in elementary Dendrology, Dr. Beal took a great interest in practical forestry. He first started to plant an assortment of tree species in 1877 on two acres just northwest of the present site of the Post Office which is now known as the Arboretum. Eew men are allowed the privilege of planting chest­ nuts and acorns and of watching them develop through In 1888 Dr. Beal the years to commercial dimensions. made large plantations of different species of forest trees at the Grayling Experiment Station. These, to a large extent, have demonstrated what species will and will not do well on the sand plains of the northern por­ tion of the state. On December 11th, 1894, the following resolution was passed by the State Board of Agriculture: “lie- solved that it is the policy of the board to place the for­ est area of the College Farm in such* a condition as to illustrate as far as possible, the most advanced methods of properly handling woodlands for continuous and lasting profits and that the Professor of Agriculture with the advice of the Professor of Forestry is hereby authorized to promptly take the measures necessary to as quickly as possible put our woodlands in creditable condition.” Thus there was set aside as a working field 198.6 acres of the College Farm where the students could observe the different phases of Forestry work. * During the spring of 1897, Dr. Beal planted the white pine on the area across the road from the extreme north­ eastern portion of the College farm now known as the Pinetum. This small patch of forest has many object lessons and should be preserved intact for all time, if for no other reason than to stand as a living monument to the labors of the man who may be justly called the “Father of Michigan Forestry.” He has been to the State of Michigan what Heinrick Van Cotta was to Saxony. Five years later, during the spring of 1902, the State Board of Agriculture established a distinct forestry de­ partment and authorized a technical course. Prof. E. E. Bogue was called from Oklahoma to take Pinetum. This small patch of forest lias many object nical course. He at once offered eleven distinct lines in Forestry and established flie Forest of study Nursery. In 1904, the College for the first time gave the B. S. degree in Forestry to two students. In the dawn of a larger development throughout the whole country along the line of work in which he was most interested and to which he gave-his utmost energy, Pro­ fessor Bogue was not privileged to continue further. After five years of active work for the College, he was suddenly cut off by death during the summer of 1907. Present. Future. The Booseveltian policy of the conservation of our natural resources and the attention called in particular to Forestry hy the Forest Service of the Central Gov­ ernment, has educated the general public to what For- est.ry really is. The rapid setting aside of large land areas in the west and hy the several states, has created a demand for trained men along forestry lines.. The principles involved in the forest problems of these areas have determined the training which the forestry stu­ dents must receive. The present administration of the Forestry Depart­ ment began in the fall of 1907. The course was reor­ ganized with a view to the special training of technical men to meet the present needs of the profession. The work was enlarged hy adding a summer term and the offering of 16 distinct lines of study. Every effort has been made to put the student in touch with the practical problems met in lumber camps and sawmills and on the forests of the East and the West hy having them for a short period actually take up the work in these places. Little emphasis has been placed on foreign methods and practices. A knowledge of European formulas is helpful to the American teacher and student in that it aids him to develop new ideas which will solve our special problems. European formulas may produce excellent European foresters hut when taken literally, as has already been amply illustrated in this country, the same formulas do not produce good American foresters. The department will graduate 11 men this year and there is a strong oncoming junior, class of 24 men. Forestry is hut one phase of Agriculture, and the production of men properly trained to meet the de­ mands of the profession is one of the functions of the Agricultural Colleges. As this college is the first to offer courses in Agri­ culture in the United States, so it was the first to offer It takes time to build up the several lines forestry. of work termed a course or a distinct department. Where better then could a new profession of forestry he developed than in an Institution having old and well organized departments of Agriculture, Soils, Entomol­ ogy, Civil Engineering and Botany, all of which deal with the different phases of the very principles under­ lying forestry. The location is ideal, mid way between the east and the west. The student can avail himself of the oppor­ tunity to observe both eastern and western work which he would not he apt to afford were he located at either extreme. Michigan is the center of a great many of our leading wood working industries and will continue to he. During the past decade, she led in lumber production. That the state will, in the near future, adopt a sane and safe forest policy is certain. The future growth and efficiency of the Forestry De­ partment of the college depends upon its ability to meet the demands of a rapidly developing profession—no one can now forecast the development of forestry as a profession nor the status of the American Forester. That they will, however, exert a large influence on American thought and American life is certain. J. F. B. Home Economics. present the south end of Howard Terrace is‘needed for the overdoAv. Including the present class of seventeen members, * there will have been during these past fourteen years, one hundred and forty-three graduates in Home Econo­ mics. To the “old grad” the presence of so many pretty girls is the greatest improvement lie can see, and the comparatively modern course in campustr}^ makes him wonder at the progress of scientific educational methods. Michigan Agricultural College has always been liberally disposed to woman students, giving any who wished the opportunity to study such subjects as were offered in the agricultural course. Our “first woman graduate” was given the diploma of the college in 1879, and most of the classes that followed were distinguished by having one or more women on their rolls. During the twenty years, 1879 to 1899, twenty-five Avomen were graduated from the agricultural course, five of them belonging to the class of 1893. In 1896 a new policy was inaugurated and the Women's, or Home Economics Course was established. The purpose of this course as stated in the catalogue of that year was the same as that of the two other courses^ to secure “the capability to take prompt hold of life on the side of its material tasks. What science has done for the workshop it can also do for the house­ hold.” The technical work is based on the fundamental sciences and includes the Avide scope of household thirty economics. women in 1896, there has been an increase to over two hundred and thirty in 1909-1910.

The aim of the Club is to provide diversion from the regular routine of the Department and at the same time to supplement the work of the Department by bringing in speakers from away, especially men who are successful Horticultur­ ists actively engaged in practical work and also to foster the fraternal feeling existing between the teach­ ers and students in the horticultural department and to enable the underclassmen who are interested in horticulture to get in touch with the Department. The club has several enjoyable social features in­ cluding the practice of serving fruit to members and visitors at the close of each meeting and also the annual Hort show given during the winter term. The princi­ pal social event of the club, however, and the one looked forward to by the members and friends is the annual fruit banquet given toward the end of the spring term. The Hort Club is the second oldest technical club on the campus having been organized in 1901 and has been actively engaged ever since. The officers for the spring term, 1910, are: C. E. Smith, President. E. S. Crane, Vice-President. C. B. Tubergen, Secretary. P. W. Mason, Record Editor. J. G. PRANCE, ’ll In 1885, at the instance of President Willetts, there was added to the College organization, a “Mechanical ■Department” and Prof. Lewis McLouth was placed in charge. His title was “Professor of Mechanics and Astronomy”. The catalog for that year contained the outline of the first two years of a “Course in Mechanic Arts”. The legislature appropriated $7,800 for a building, with which was constructed the major part of the pres­ ent shops. The plans therefor were prepared by Prof. E. G. Carpenter who had been for some time and re­ mained for some time thereafter “Professor of Mathe­ matics and Civil Engineering”, both of which subjects had been, prior to 1885, as since, required of students in Agriculture. The same legislature also provided $4,000 for a house for the head of the new department. In 1888 the first graduates, two in number, from the Mechanical Department received their diplomas. In 1899 the course was designated as a course in Mechanical Engineering and an alternative Five-Year Course authorized for the benefit of students to whom the advantages of a complete high school preparation were not available. In 1902 the course was designated as the “Mechanical Com •se” and options in Civil Engineering were offered in the Junior and Senior years to those who wished to prepare for work in that field. In 1906, the catalog contained options in Electrical Engineering. In 1907, the present designation, Engineering Course, was adopted, and the Professor of Mechanical Engineering was constituted the Dean of Engineering. In 1909, Mathematics and Civil Engineering were made separate departments and the Division of Engi­ neering was formally created hy the Board of Agricul­ ture to include the departments of Civil Engineering, Drawing and Design, Electrical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering. In 1907 the new Engineering Hall, built and equipped at an expense of $125,000, was occupied hy the departments above named, and the old building was converted entirely to shop purposes. In June, 1908, at Commencement time Engineering Hall was formally dedicated, the address being given hy Prof. E. C. Carpenter, ’73, of Cornell University. Since the establishment of engineering at the Col­ lege, there have been graduated from the course, 365 men and many more have taken partial courses. Since the introduction of optional work in civil engineer­ ing the majority of upper classmen have elected to take that work.

C. was well started, the need of a Young Women’s Christian Asso­ ciation was felt, so on September 26, 1896, an asso­ ciation was organized. The meetings were held in the parlors of Abbott Hall, which was then the girls’ dormi­ tory. How the weekly Thursday night meetings are held in the recitation room of the Woman’s Building. The alcove of the second floor is fitted as a Y. W. C. A. reading room, hut it is hoped that soon it will he possi­ ble to have private quarters, as they are very much needed. A place would then he afforded in which to hold committee and cabinet meetings. The association has grown and prospered from year to year, until now there are about one hundred mem­ bers, either active or associate. The work is well or­ ganized into committees, under the direction of the different chairmen and officers. Tor the coming year the following officers have been elected: President, Louise G. Kelley. Vice-President, Mabel M. Bobinson. Secretary, Buth Crosby. Treasurer, Arvilla Voss. L. G. K, ’ll. Common Profanity. I’ll he deviled, said the ham. I’ll he darned, said the sock. I’ll he stumped, said the tree. I’ll he Mowed, said the horn. I’ll he hanged, said the picture. I’ll he switched, said the train. I’ll he dammed, said the brook. In the fall of 1908 the need of a general social or­ ganization among the girls became evident because of the large enrollment in the Home Economics de­ partment. A general meeting of the girls was held in the parlors of the Woman’s Building and plans for a club, which should meet the need, were discussed. It was decided to form an organization to which any member of the department, and all other women connected with the college should he eligible. The purpose of the club, as stated in the constitu­ tion, is to improve the social life of its members, and on account of its purely social nature, it received the name of “The Idlers.” Parties, entertainments, and other affairs are given from time to time, and thus an opportunity is given to every girl to cultivate the social side of her nature and to become acquainted with her fellow-students. The first function given was a dancing party in the armory. More than a hundred couples were present, showing the enthusiasm with which the “Idlers” was received from the start. The first officers were: President, Minnie Johnson. Vice-President, Blanche Clark. Secretary^ Florence Turner. Treasurer, Blanche Smith. “Do you think that the water in this county is Softer than that in the next, because we have local option and they do not/?” J. B. H. ’12. President, A. L.

Waldron Young Men’s Christian Association. A college, no matter of how technical a nature, which has no opportunities for Christian education and advancement is a poor one indeed. Thé Michigan Agri­ cultural College is not, and never has been, lacking in this respect. Since its very earliest days the college has fostered some sort of a religious organization, the object of which has been to give the students an opportunity for advancement along religious lines as well as in the technical courses of study offered. Nearly twenty-five years ago the Young Men’s Christian Association was formed to take the place of all former similar organizations. The Young Men’s Christian Association is the most cosmopolitan of any religions body. It is just suited to govern the religious activities of a large group of young men gathered to­ gether from all parts of the country for a common purpose. The opportunities and duties of the association have multiplied tenfold since its birth. The college has grown so rapidly within the last few years that it was found that the organization could not make its influ­ ence felt to the greatest advantage solely through stu­ dent management. A general secretary was therefore secured and devotes his entire time to the interests of the organization. The association tries to promote Christian principles in various ways; holding regular Thursday and Sunday evening meetings to give opportunities for religions worship. The Bible and Mission Study classes, in which BOO men are enrolled, offer a means of obtaining a broader knowledge of the Bible and other subjects pertaining to the advancement of Christianity. The main object of the Young Men’s Christian Asso­ ciation is to promote Christian fellowship. It is by no means an exclusive organization, hut aims to reach and aid every student in every way within its power. It is an organization of students for students. The association has high aims and ideals and is worthy of the support of every man in college. The New York Club. Among the many new organizations which have sprung up as a result of the growth of this institution is the New York Club. Last year it was realized that there were many students, instructors, and professors here who called New York State their home. Although few of these knew each other before coming to Michi­ gan, they felt that there ought to he some means of promoting and maintaining a spirit of fellowship among their number. At that time there were about twenty-five students here who hailed from the Empire State and these men and women gathered for the purpose of discussing some plan of organization. The club was formally organized on February 24, 1909, at which time the fol­ lowing officers were elected: J.1S. Wells, President; Catherine Koch, Vice-president; H. E. Dennison, Sec­ retary; and S. A. Mart i n, Treasurer. At the time of the adoption of the constitution, all faculty members and instructors from New York were taken in as honorary members. The club now has over thirty student members and twenty-four honorary members. Judging from the interest shown since the organiza­ tion of the club it promises to be beneficial to its mem­ bers as well as to the institution. It interests other New Yorkers to come to M. A. C., where they are sure to find friends, and it keeps alive in the hearts of the members that deep feeling which we all have for the place of our birth. H. E. DENNISON, President. Cosmopolitan Club.

It had its birth near the beginning of the fall term of the year 1909 when a few American students and nearly all of the foreign-horn students of the college gathered for the purpose of discussing some plan of organization to meet the needs of this particular class of students. As a result of this gathering, a formal organization under the name of the Cosmopolitan Club took place on Tuesday, January 18, 1910. A constitution was adopted and the following officers were elected at this time: President, E. C. Lindemann; Vice-President, Y. ICawada; Secretary-Treasurer, M. C. Ellrnan; Corres­ ponding Secretary, Osman A. Rasik. As stated above, the object of this club is to cultivate social intercourse between the students of the different nationalities, and further, as its constitution states, “to study the conditions of, and to promote a better under­ standing of the political, social and cultural problems of the various countries, and thereby foster the spirit of universal brotherhood/’ The club now has a membership of sixteen students lepresenting nine nationalities. Just what its function in the activities of the college is going to be, can be nothing more than a prophec}^. That it will be of great value to the individual members has already been shown. E. C. LINDEMANN, Pres The Debating Club was organized in 1901, largely thru the efforts of Dr. Edwards, then head of the Eng­ lish Department. Since then it has steadily grown to its present scope and usefulness. Meetings are held weekly. The object is the free discussion of up to date topics,, and debating of the questions of the day. Membership is unlimited, any one becoming a mem­ Interest is so great ber upon signing the constitution. that the capacity of “Old Ho. 7” is often over-taxed, and more often than not the window sills have to be resorted to. Debates have been held annually with Ypsilantf Normal College for the past seven years. Of these- contests M. A. C. has won four; the last three years, bringing victories for us. The officers of the Club at present are: President, K D. VanWa'genen, ’ll. Vice-President, W. W. ITrquhart, ’ll. Secretary-Treasurer, H. W.

The J-Hop Girl. After. Mi So much lias been written in the last three years about athletics at M. A. C. that it will simply be my endeavor to summarize the past as briefly as possible/ perhaps give the reader a better insight into the pres­ ent, and hazard a brief glimpse into the future. This duty is a pleasure in itself as every student relates with pride the growth and development of M. A. C. in ath­ letics from the small college and high school to the larger college and minor university class until at present she is admitted to the schedules of the strongest athletic teams of the West. Successive victories have justified her position. Records alone can best show the rapid rise of the college in every department of athletics hut these can­ not all he shown here. I would divide the athletic history of our college into two main divisions—before and after Coach C. L. Brewer came to M. A. C. Since that time the various teams have lost hut seldom to their opponents yet the schedule has been increasingly more difficult. This may he attributed to two things— our Coach and the spirit at M. A. C. Brewer. When Mr. Brewer came here in the spring of 1903, there began at once an era of enlargement in college athletics. His success as an athlete while in the Uni­ versity of Wisconsin, where he played on the baseball and football teams, and was a member of the track team, fitted him admirably for the position which he holds here. It is interesting to note that Coach Brewer has handled all of the athletic teams alone. Football. Since 1901 football has gained a strong foothold in the athletics of the college, and the summit of the up­ ward trend was reached in 1908 and 1909 when our team defeated such strong rivals as Marquette, DePaul, Wabash, and DePauw, and played a scoreless tie with the University of Michigan. The season of ?08 will long he remembered as one in which the college team completed its schedule without a single defeat. Baseball. Baseball reached its zenith at M. A. C. when the team of 1904 won a championship title by defeating the Uni­ versity of Wisconsin and the Toronto University. Our later teams have never quite equaled this record, hut they have played good consistent hall and fought for every game. Cross-country. In 1906 the Marathon craze in an infant form hit the college, and a cross-country run was instituted. A course of three and one-half miles in length was laid out. The first race contained twelve men and only two finished. ,|ow the course is four miles long, while about 30 start in each race. A run is held each fall and spring; first two men to finish, get C. C. sweaters. This spring a team of six men was chosen to repre­ sent M. A. C. in the Cross-Country Invitation Meet of Hope College. Our team won this event from seven other institutions in the fast time of 21 minutes 15 seconds over a four-mile course. / Track. In 1908 and 1909 strong teams were taken to the Western Conference Meet at Chicago, where the best athletes of the West gather, and surprised everyone by taking more points than many large Universities. In these two seasons they finished in seventh and eighth place respectively. In 1909 the one-mile relay team was sent to Phila­ delphia, Penn., to compete in the University of Penn­ sylvania’s great annual invitation track and field meet, hut owing to the sickness of one member the team had no chance to win. The M. I. A. A. championship in field and track events was always, won by M. A. C., until in 1907 she broke away from this organization, having outgrown it, to get stronger competition. Old and New Captains of ’08—’09 Interscholastic. This spring was held the seventh interscholastic track meet with high school contestants from all over the state. In point of individual entries this meet ex­ ceeded any other in the West. The records made at these meets compare favorably with any in the country. Needed—a Gym. The crying need of M. A. C. athletics is for a gym­ nasium. A well equipped modern gymnasium would serve two purposes; it would offer a work-shop for the general student body to obtain the much needed exer­ cise; and it would afford a place for our athletes to meet those of other colleges on equal footing^ Indoor work in all branches is at present much restricted be­ cause of the limitation of the “Old Armory.” We hope soon to he the proud possessors of a big, new, real Gfym. Basket Ball. Basket Ball was almost unknown here until 1903, hut from the very start our representative lives have been strong contenders for the state title, and have met and defeated some of the worthiest teams in the West. Twice has our team defeated the University of Michi­ gan, Notre Dame, Hope College, and Detroit Y. ■ The team of 1910 was conceded the state championship hv all critics, by virtue of its victory over Detroit Y on their home floor. Class Games. The classes fight it out for the class championship in all of the major sports, these often rivaling the Var­ sity contests in the amount of keen interest manifested. “Are We All Dead Yet?” The spirit hack of athletics reflects itself in the ath­ letic teams. We do not care so much for individual stars as to get men willing to work hard for their school. The secret of the team’s success is the steady, persistent team play coupled with a plucky, never quit spirit. The loyalty has often been proven, and when, after the toughest kind of defeat had been given us by Notre Dame (Western Champions) last fall, the fellows carried the team from the field, one felt as if his best were much too poor for such a school. Any one can win and he happy, hut in defeat is where the true spirit comes out. I. J. CORTRIGrHT. Old Timers Who Have Been Especially Successful at M. A. C. Chris.

When that Winter with his deep snow drifts, Delayed has the College cars so swift, And covered all the fields with dazzling white, While long we wait, with not a car in sight; And eke when “Shorthorns,” who do then abound, Come here to learn of these our College grounds, And Seniors two, whose birthdays, coincide, Invite their classmates to a sleigh-ride. Then day and night a Hop the Juniors plan Whose like there never was since time besran. Betel that in that season on a day A car towards Lansing ’gan to wend its way, Which filled was with many famous men, And with the oldest will I first begin. This man a doctor was, beloved well By all he knew, and quickly could he tell The name of any plant that ever grew. Its family and given name he knew. His heard and eke his hair were white as snow, His broad brimmed brown felt hat was pulled down low. Thru steel rimmed glasses he peered forth most kind, But there’s another man I have in mind. This Prof, loved not the plants the Doctor did. He only cared for those that had been hid For many years deep in the earth; and then Had turned to stone ere they were found by men. Also, he made us cut up cats,'most vile, That made a stench that could he smelled a mile. His hair was grey, and made to stand on end, And upper classmen knew him for their friend. If you will read a little farther on YouTl find what he saw on the Amazon. A third professor was who loved bugs. And when you a Sophomore see who lugs A net around, and chases butterflies, You may be sure he’s trying for a prize For this same Prof.; and should he get it You may be sure this Prof, will feed and PET IT. The Badger state was represented well By one who in that fair state used to dwell. Prize corn ears are his joy, he loves the soil, And in his boyhood days lie used to toil. Out on the prairie all day would he hike Behind a plow, but now a motor bike He rides, and beats .the M. H. B. to town. Tho sport he loves, on dog fights he will frown. The Prof, who loved the woods was also there With cherub face^ and thick and wavy hair. There are few men among our faculty Who could not use his surplus energy. Meanwhile the Hort. man figured out a way Whereby he could make all the farmers spray; And Uncle Frank was chuckling thru his nose, As he thot of his freshmen and their woes. Just then the car, which had been going swift Slowed down, and stopped, and stuck fast in a drift. The motorman thot he’d wait for the plow, So he came in and to the Profs, said, “Now Since we will have to stick here half the night Tho we have coal and good electric light, We have no food; so let us kill the time And each shall tell a storv or a rhvme.” The professors gave their ready assent For they were struck with his good judgement. So when they had agreed unto his plan The oldest of them all at once began; And thus his story ran: Dr. Beal’s Story. One evening last fall I was down in the Botanical Garden working ’round, and a fellow who had grad­ uated hack in the nineties came running up and he says, “Doctor, I’ve found it! I’ve found it!” And I said, “What have you founds” and he says, “I found the stone my wife sat on when I popped the question.” (With a smile) I guess most of us wouldn’t have been quite so frank as that. Library went out scratching their legs. About this time the janitor, who was a clever old fellow, got busy. He bought a pair of high rubber hoots, and covered them with sheets of fly-paper, sticky side out. Then he walked up and down the halls. The hoots become so heavy with fleas that he had to change the paper every, five minutes; and he walked up and down the hall four days before he had them all exterminated. Bight here in this building we had quite an experi­ ence with insects. The janitor thot that he saw some mice in the basement and so he set some traps. These were repeatedly sprung hut no mice were caught. Finally one morning the janitor came into my office with one of the traps which had caught a gigantic— one of the largest I have ever seen. Prof. Pettit’s Story. Prof. Jeffery’s Story. I remember when I was at Cornell, we had quite an experience with fleas. The Anatomy Department there is on the second floor of the Library, as it is here. In the basement this department had a cage where they kept cats for dissecting purposes. How one of the cats brought with it quite a colony of fleas, and it wasn’t long before the colony developed into a commonwealth. The fleas finally became so numerous that the cats couldn’t juggle them all, and so they began to migrate. When they got up into the Library things began to grow interesting. Fleas, as you know, will jump only at moving objects; and soon all who came into the The changes in barometric pressures are marvelous. I remember when I was a ho}^ down in the limestone areas of Southwestern Wisconsin, where I spent my boyhood days, one of our neighbors had a very deep well. Something went wrong with the pump one day It was a and several of us went over to help repair it. clear, cool day and we were in the midst of a high press­ ure area. When we raised the cover there was a sud­ den rush of air down the well which carried along with it one of the men’s hats. Just then the fire hell rang and we all went to the fire. It was evening before the blaze was extinguished, and so we went home and did not go hack to the well until Monday morning. Now the weather had changed over Sunday, and was cloudy, and in all respects was typical low-pressure-area weather. So we started once more to raise the cover off the Avell. The moment we did so there was a sudden blast of cold air out of the well, and the hat which had been sucked down, was blown fully fifteen feet into the air. The explanation of course is simple. The well had been filled with air at high pressure, and this was released under low pressure, thus causing the out-rush of air from the well. Dean Shaw’s Story. Professor Barrow’s Story. Variations in species is often so great that it is almost impossible to believe that a different habitat and a change in the climate could produce such re­ markable changes from the established type. On my return from the Amazon river, our part}^ traveled overland to the valley of the Orinoco. Here we found veritable forests of thistles, attaining, on the average, a height of fifteen feet. Some of these patches covered many square miles and were almost impassable. We were forced to follow the cattle trails and whenever some of the half-wild cattle of the country came along every man drew his machete, and widened the path so that there would he room to pass them. *Ed. Note.—Expurgated by the editor, and then rejected by the faculty critic. The botanist of our party, a Scotchman, was struck by the similarity of these giant thistles to the Scotch, thistle. They differed only in size. On questioning one of the guides we learned that these thistles had appeared about ten years before. The seeds were doubt­ less brought over in the shaggy coats of some Gallo­ way cattle which had been imported from Scotland. A still more remarkable example is the common water-cress which had been brought to New Zealand from England. It is a small plant growing in water about a foot deep, with not more than six inches out of water, but in New Zealand it grew so rapidly and spread so fast that it thrived in the large rivers in water that was twenty feet deep, and waved about six feet about the surface. In a few years it filled the rivers so that navigation became impossible," and the situation was not relieved until some genius invented a submarine mowing machine. Prof. Baker’s Story. Now when you men go out west this summer you will run up against some queer situations, so be pre­ pared to make the best of things. to examine While I was in the Forest Service, I was sent with an expedition the forests of Central America. Each man worked alone and had a native guide. My guide, who knew the dangers from malaria, if we slept outside, always managed to reach some native hut by evening, as we did not carry a tent. One evening we reached a little one-roomed shack. There was a large number of children, and I Avon- necessary to run a raihvay to the vineyard, and supply a network of switches to the different parts of the vine, in order to haiwest the fruit. Several car-loads of grapes are shipped daily throughout the season. Now melted was the stubborn drift By the warmth of what the Profs, did say. They opened up the controller wide And sped upon their way. “PUD,” ’ll. dered where we would find room to sleep. In the trop­ ics darkness comes suddenly, so as soon as the sun had set the largest children went up into the loft, and the guide and I began to fix our blankets in the corner. Just then I noticed that all of the chickens were being driven in. These were followed by a great, red, razor- hack hog; then the man came in and locked the door. Another time I was on a survey in Wyoming and a tribe of Indians in the neighborhood invited us to a feast, and as it was necessary that we should keep on friendly terms with them we went over to their camp. We watched the preparation of the feast, from the time two squaws strangled the dogs by pulling on op­ posite ends of the rope wound around the animals’ necks, until they were served hot. We weren’t very hungry by that time, hut as we didn’t want to offend our hosts, we began to eat; and really it Avasn’t so had. So if you don’t like your lodging, don’t lose sleep about it; and if you find something in the food Avhicli you think doesn’t belong there, why, close your eyes and gulp it down.
