The members are appointed by the Governor by the consent of the Senate for a term of six years, two being appointed each second year. The Board was organized with the purpose of devoting more special attention to the college than was previously given by the Legislature. ROBERT SI DEY SHAW ON MAY 13th, 1857, the Michigan Agricultural College opened its doors to the public and entered the sphere of educational activity. In June, 1932 we are to celebrate the founding of the Institution as the Michigan State College of Agri­ culture and Applied Science, the name having been changed by the Michigan State Legislature of 1925. Functions of research and extension soon followed the efforts in education until the three objectives have grown to enormous proportions in balanced and har­ monious usefulness. The original course in agriculture has been supplemented by fifteen others in­ cluded in seven distinct divisions and all developed in a strong and symmetrical relationship. Scientific research, the basis of technical education and extension forms the basic foundation of the activities of the Institution while at the same time the liberal or cultural phases furnish a necessary supplement. Though the college has grown and expanded, it is still functioning in accordance with the basic federal and state laws on which it was founded. cers HERMAN H. HALLADAY The Secretary Herman H. Halladay acts as business manager of the college and secretary of the State Board of Agriculture. He also acts as custodian of all College property and buildings. The office of the Comptroller and the Purchasing Agent is in conjunction with the Secretary’s Office. JOSEPH P. COX Dean of Agriculture Graduates in the Agricultural Division of Michigan State College are to be found throughout the United States. This division gives the necessary training and inspiration for men who eventually find splendid opportunities in this widely diversified field. EVERETT L. AUSTIN Dean of Liberal Arts The Liberal Arts Division is the most diversified department of the college. This type of education involves an effort on the part of the student to understand himself, his capacity and his limitations as well as to appreciate the world in which he lives. HENRY B. DIRKS Dean of Engineering The Engineering Division offers four branches of study: Chemical, Civil, Electrical, and Mechanical Engineering. The Department has recognized the difficulty in differentiating be­ tween the technical and the administrative engineer, and has attempted to give their students a broad training and at the same time one that will be valuable to industry. RALPH CHASE HUSTON Dean of Applied Science The Applied Science Division was established in the fall of 1921 as a result of the feeling among the faculty that an op­ portunity ought to be provided for training in the fundamental sciences. The course is primarily designed for preliminary training in medicine and dentistry. WARD GILTNER Dean of Veterinary and Medicine Michigan State College offers a full four-year course in medi- cal biology or technology. Men and women are trained in this course in chemistry, bacteriology and pathology. This course is the only one of its kind offered in the United States. MARIE DYE Dean of Home Economics The scope of the field of Home Economics is far reaching and professional opportunities for women with this training are becoming more varied. The main purpose of the division is, however, to prepare the students for life and enable them to apply modern resources to the improvement of the home. ERNST A. BESSY Dean of Graduate School Each year more graduates of Michigan State College are taking their places in important positions throughout the United States, and the Graduate School is growing in size and importance. This division offers men and women who have finished the regular course of study the opportunity to study and prepare themselves for the more demanding positions. ■OLLEGE HALL is the most memorable building in the annals of agricultural edu­ cation in the United States because it was the first to be erected for that purpose. For many years it was the center of all class-room work, housing at different times, the chemical laboratory, chapel, and various organization meetings. Later, when it passed its stage of usefulness, it was razed, and is now but a memory. Beaumont Memorial Tower assumes an added significance, when it is realized that upon the same ground once stood this famous building. The WOLVERINE j£iARLY in May, 1857, some 73 Qy students were admitted to M.A.C. after passing entrance examinations. In order to matricu­ late, it was necessary to be at least fourteen years of age, and possess some primary training. A circular issued in 1856 remarked about the “wide range of instruc­ tion”, which consisted of English Literature, Mathematics, and the Natural Sciences. Attendance was exclusively for state residents, and a limit of 80 students was set. Accord­ ing to the State Board, it was a huge undertaking. One day in the Spring of 1857, a farmer hitched up the team and brought five boys to the dedication of the college. The school was a source of amazement to the young boys because of the fact that there The WOLVERINE m were so many buildings (Saints Rest, College Hall, and a brick barn which had been erected among the trees and huckleberry bushes). The first class met in the open air, and the first assignment was to clean up the rubbish which had resulted from the construction of the college buildings. A few crops were planted, including the famous M.A.C. turnip patch. One of the boys set out to the Women’s sow turnips where Building now stands. In spite of the time and labor demanded in acquir­ ing this type of education, the students managed to squeeze in a little amuse­ ment. They found the Female Sem­ inary, located in Lansing, quite con­ venient, and spent many evenings there husking corn. It was very soon found necessary to lay down a set of laws governing the The WOLVERINE boys’ activities, and the authorities made it known that they frowned upon the use of tobacco, any games of chance, and un­ due physical movings-about on Sunday. One day two students were robbed of their only shirts by a clothes-line thief and were, consequently forced to with­ draw from school. The authorities, however, refusing to allow the enrollment to be so materially decreased, pur­ chased two shirts for the boys out of college funds. By 1870, there were ten female stu­ dents attending the college. There was no choice in curricula, however, and they devoted themselves to general Agriculture courses. One of the more useful of these was the exposing of “Marie Fontaine’s humbug products. Moth and Freckle Cure—for external only”—was found to be a mixture of rain water and a corrosive sublimate. Seventeen Th WOLVERINE Saint’s Rest burned in 1876, and $25,000 for the erection of Wells Hall had to be raised. The building was a great undertaking and hand-in- hand with it went the necessity of maintaining order. In 1884 student government was instigated. In the same year, carp were planted in the bot­ anical gardens. The carp later escaped, but stu­ dent government proved to be in a different class and remained. I believe we still have it even now. In 1885, the college was materially enhanced by the construction of several buildings, namely, the armory, and a an engineering building, veterinary laboratory. The school could now accommodate two hundred and fifty students. In 1897, co-education was actually sanctioned and Abbot Hall was set aside for the exclusive use of women students. Another important change appeared in the designation of the Summer months for vacation instead of the Winter. During the period from 1901 to 1910 many im­ portant events transpired. The more notable of Eighteen The WOLVERINE these were the erection of the Wo­ men’s Building, the College Hospital, the advent of music as a serious college activity, and the holding of . the;first annual barbecue. In 1910 a report of considerable interest was circulated; “the Jersey cow, College Queen, gave 17 pounds, 11 ounces of butter fat from 322 pounds 1.6 ounces .of milk, at 5 years of age.” Truly a remarkable achievement of the col­ lege,—pardon me, the cow. Our present annual Water Carnival had its origin in a college “Circus”. Some of the booths: carried the im­ posing titles of “Salome dance hall”, and “Rescue Mission for thirsty souls”. In the bath house was a side show, exhibiting “Wadji”, the fossil bedbug, sole survivor of “Saint’s Rest”, and Mme. Valeski Awfulitch, the Russian bearded lady. »■ f The WOLVERINE J •3 With the opening of school last Fall term came the usual hustle- bustle excitement peculiar to the beginning of school after a Sum­ mer vacation. Friendships were renewed entailing hand-shakings that would have put a presi­ dential reception to shame. The campus was unusually beautiful after its rest, and the thrill ex­ perienced upon viewing its fresh green splendor escapes descrip­ tion. The influx of new students seemed to belie the fact that our dear old Republic was tottering on its economic legs. Freshmen descended on the campus in un­ precedented numbers and by the end of the first week, enrollment figures had touched a new top. Organization its worth, however, and the second- soon proved Twenty year men came to the front with their new-found superiority. The bright, newly-painted, 35’s began to fade under scratching bricks and dusting “pots”. At the first football game, the first-year men were given a chance to display the size of their class, and their snake dance served as a pre­ mature celebration of State’s 47 to 0 victory over Cornell. The thoughts of the Army game in the offing kept the peak, football enthusiasm at and the day of send-off found the student-body anxious to demonstrate its spirit. A large pep meeting was held at the Gym, after which the students accompanied the team to the train. With the football season well un­ der way, the co-eds jumped into the limelight with the dedication of their new dormitory® Mary Mayo Hall. The WOLVERINE | •« Twenty-one in After an elaborate celebration, which Governor Brucker was the principal speaker, the new building was thrown open for inspection. Black Friday, that memorable day of dark threats, flying fists, and ab­ ductions, and the ensuing Saturday of contest, turned out to be so strenuous that the . Student Council declared them to be the last. Several students were confined to the hospital to nurse their bruises while the Freshmen were boasting of their emphatic victory in the class games. On the evening of November 6, the annual barbecue brought the first and second year men together on amicable terms, and the proverbial “hatchet” was buried, at least until warm weather. The serene appearance of the campus during Winter term was interrupted for a wfeek in February, when Farmers’ The WOLVERINE Twenty-two Week activities brought crowds of individuals interested in scientific agriculture. The annual J-Hop drew a large attendance to eclipse all other social activities and substantiate its cog­ nomen of “major party of the year.” With Spring term, the students settled back to contemplate baseball games, canoe trips, and moonlight. Spring term is self-explanatory, at least to those fortunates who have spent one or more at Michigan State. Aside from the natural beauty of our campus, and may I say, our co-eds, the outdoor activities crowd every­ thing else from the social calendar. The Seniors claim most of the atten­ tion with their “doings”, and the Water Carnival, striking a note of finality if not melancholy, ends the School Year of 1932. Twenty-three *■7 ’HE Old Library, still present on the ^ campus, aside from being used for a library for the students, housed the office for the President and Secretary of the college. It also served as the museum for the Agri­ cultural, Veterinary, and Engineering divi­ sions of the college. In the early days of the college the summer term began the first Wednesday in April, terminating on the last Wednesday in October, while the first Wednesday of December, ended in February. term, starting the winter Students entering the college were required to pass a good examination in Arithmetic, Grammar, Reading, Spelling, and Penman­ ship. Privileges of attending the college was limited to students of the state only. Eighty students could be accommodated, and were given ample instruction in the Natural Sciences, Chemistry, Mathematics, but Ancient and Modern Languages were not included in the courses offered. I The WOLVERINE J CLARK CHAMBERLAIN MAXINE CURTIS President Vice-President Treasurer Secretary - Officers Clark Chamberlain Maxine Curtis Earl Steimle Maxine Sturgeon N THEIR final year at college, members of the senior class assumed the positions as executives for the under­ graduate student body. Management of the various stu­ dent publications and governing boards was delegated to fourth year men, while others filled important positions on athletic teams. The Water Carnival, depicting the history of the College, the appropriate theme chosen to celebrate the seventy-fifth anniversary of its founding, was arranged and handled entirely by seniors.

Forty-eight { HE opening of Freshman Week saw a larger than usual ^ incoming class gathered on the steps of the Gymnasium, ready to begin their college careers. Each newcomer soon acclimated himself to the new conditions and entered into the spirit of the College with the rest of the students in a whole-hearted manner. The Class of ’35 became associated in the various extra-curricular activities and soon were identified in every group in which they were eligible to enter. The annual Class Day was the first event of import to the freshmen. They entered into the competition with the best of spirit and, although rated the “underdogs”, showed the world-at-large that they were strong enough to van­ quish the Sophomores by a score of 90 to 35. During Winter term, and also the other periods, the Freshmen class was well represented on many athletic teams. The indoor track group and football squad as well as the other teams succeeded in upholding the traditional records. nighty-four The WOLVERINE LOUISE SACHS ROBERT STOLL Although the class had been considerably reduced in number by Spring term, no lapse in spirit was manifested. The class sponsored its first social function, the Frosh Frolic. The party was held in the Union ballroom and was well attended^ The decorations were composed of green and white balloons which formed a false ceiling. Small pagodas, erected along the wall, further enhanced the Spring theme. Ozz Kelley and his orchestra provided the music for dancing.

An embarrassing feature of the college was the lack of transportation. Started in the woods nearly thirty miles from a railroad, with terrible wagon roads intervening, there were no models to follow, and getting to classes was really difficult. '; There were no means of transportation to the college and students in Lansing either walked the three miles or remained at home. The “half-way stone”, the resting place, is now situated outside the Union. With the installation of electricity, trans­ portation facilities were greatly aided and finally a street car was run right on the campus. RALPH H. YOUNG Director of A thletics J. P.

Coach Crowley has raised the team to one of the leading con­ tenders for national honors. The spirit, cooperation, and teamwork were so great this year that no one man stood out above his teammates. Several people, however, were classed by critics as unusually well developed in their especial department. Monnett was designated and even chosen by some experts as All-American material. The speedy half­ back was by far one of the most outstanding ball carriers in the mid-west and was second in the nation in scoring. Abe Eliowitz, crashing fullback, punter, signal caller, ball carrier, and general all-around man in the backfield, was voted the most valuable man on the team by his teammates. In the Michigan game he kicked on a par with Jack Heston, generally conceded as the greatest punter of all time. When Captain Milt Gross ran nearly sixty yards to capture an Army football man who seemed to be headed for a certain touchdown, he caused a furor among the sports writers.

U. S. Military Academy Illinois Weslyan Georgetown Syracuse - Ripon University of Michigan University of Detroit - - 291 Opponents - One hundred one Opening their third year under the James Crowley regime, the Spartans gave early show of promise by downing the Presbyterians of Alma in the season’s opener with little difficulty. The game produced some ragged football on the part of both teams, but State’s superiority was clearly displayed by their ability to score almost at will. The lineup for the opening game was the one that Crowley used almost ex­ clusively throughout the entire season. This team gained the reputation of being “iron men” because of the few times substitutions were made in the games. Michigan State 47, Cornell College, la. 0 _ The Spartans were given a rest while the reserves took over the duty of trim­ ming Cornell College after the first string had been in long enough to score about three fourths of the points. Cornell played a plucky game but was hopelessly outclassed by the heavier Michigan State team. Bob Monnett made a 55 yard run for a touchdown, and an 85 yard run for an­ other during this game. The latter was called back, however, because of off-side play. The elusive Eliowitz got off to a flying start by carrying the ball 103 yards for a touchdown. This was one of the longest runs made in modern football history. One hundred two When the Spartans trotted out on Michie Field, Saturday, Oct. 3, they were bucking years of tradition. Never had the Army team suffered defeat on this field, and Army had a decided advantage in number of capable reserves. A plucky, and hopeful, as well as inspired State team fought with all odds against it, and went through the battle of the afternoon, holding the highly-touted Army team to three touchdowns and scoring one itself. Only once could the Army team be said to have shown an advantage over Michigan State. During the closing minutes of the first half, an entire Army backfield and ends were substituted by fast reserves, who opened up a passing attack that was bewildering. Robert Monnett showed that he could make long runs even against major opponents, when early in the third quarter with the Spartans trailing 13 to 0, he picked his way through the Army line and rushed 63 yards with perfect inter­ ference for a touchdown. When State’s eleven players held the Army with its frequent substitutions, “iron men” was the only name that could appropriately be applied to the team. Though the cadets succeeded in scoring twenty points, they were outrushed from scrimmage by State, the Spartan ball carriers made 123 yards, while the Army made only 91. Monnett, Kowatch, Meiers, Haun *>• | The WOLVERINE Michigan State 34> Illinois Wesleyan 7 Tired and battered after the Army encounter, the Michigan State team de­ pended upon its reserves to bear the brunt of the attack against Illinois Wesleyan, a small but powerful team. Monnett, for the short while that he stayed in the game, led the scoring for the day. Bernard “ Bruiser” McNutt, huge man-mountain full back, was the out­ standing reserve. Early in the first quarter Eliowitz scored a touchdown. This score was the only Michigan State 6, Qeorgetown 0 one of the game, though Michigan State threatened at several other times. Rather a disappointment, the Georgetown game gave the fans nothing definite as to the abilities of the State team. The Spartans were given no opportunity to show just what they could do. Again, Crowley’s Iron Men did outstanding work. The game was a sweet revenge for the defeat suffered at the hands of the Georgetown team a year ago. The homecoming game of the 1931 season was celebrated before a near-capacity crowd. Though the game did not end in a victory for State, it was one of the best games that Michigan State played. Syracuse, producing about its best team in years, was on edge for the State game, and even though the Spartans took an early lead and threatened to hold it throughout the contest, the Orange did not fold up, but fought until the end, and were able to take the contest. Leading 10 to 7 at the half, State looked like a sure winner when it came out on the field at the start of the second half, but Ellert, fleet Syracuse Captain and back, maneuvered his team through several brilliant runs into a victory. A safety late in the game raised the Syracuse total to 15. Monnett again distinguished himself by scoring all of the points for the team. Clearly a breather in a tough schedule, the game with the small Ripon, Wisconsin, Michigan State 100, Ripon 0 College team turned out to be a track meet for both the varsity and reserves!? ‘ When the reserves took over the game, it turned out to be a runaway. Scoring at will and making runs of all lengths, the entire Michigan State team enjoyed a field day. Monnett and Eliowitz were able to boost their total scores for the season and Monnett became the leading scorer in the country. Fase, Jones, Eliowitz, Buss One hundred five For the second time in as many years the Michigan State football team appeared at Yost Field in Ann Arbor and held the men of Harry Kipke to a scoreless tie. This year the weather was anything but conducive of good football, and fans who are determined to argue are still wondering and debtaing the outcome of the game if the weather had been favorable. The rain hindered running as well as passing and early in the contest both teams resorted to punting. Trying bitterly for a score, both teams at times played loose football, resulting in numerous costly fumbles. Michigan State came near to pushing over a score when on the third play of the game Hudson, Michigan’s captain, fumbled and State recovered on the Wolver­ ine 16-yard line. One play at the line failed and on the next play, Kowatch fumbled and Michigan recovered. The trusty toe of Abe Eliowitz helped State. Eliowitz outpunted Jack Heston, star Wolverine sophomore, throughout the game. The running game was entirely done away with during the afternoon. Monnett succeeded in bringing the ball from his own 19-yard line to the Wolverine 41-yard mark in two jaunts^ but the half ended. Crowley used very few substitutes. The starting eleven bore the brunt of the attack against the frequent changes made in the Michigan line-up. At no time during the game did the Spartan first team weaken to any perceptible degree. Vandermeer, Brunette, Gross, Handy. One hundred six ■J)------------- X Michigan State 13, University of Detroit 21 Michigan State dropped its final contest of the year with the University of Detroit at Dinan field. Although they held the upper hand throughout the major portion of the contest, the Spartans were the victims of several bad breaks and the superb running of “Rocky” Parsaca, Detroit flash. Michigan State drew the first blood when Eliowitz ran twenty-eight yards for a touchdown shortly after the game started. At the half the Detroit team was leading Michigan State 7 to 6. Starting the second half, the Spartans wasted no time scoring a touchdown. Monnett kicked the goal and Michigan State was leading. Rocky Parsaca rushed for a touchdown and kicked the point. The contest was sewed up finally when Parsaca again dashed for about sixty yards and made the final score of the day. He again kicked goal. The weary Spartans made a determined comeback in the waning minutes of the game, but their drive was futile, the gun ending a determined attack and a successful season.

Van Alstyne during the year 1932. Led by Pinneo and Boeskool, co-captains, the State squad overcame the handicap of the loss of three outstanding players of the year before and came through in a remarkable style. State won twelve out of the fourteen first games, then tired by five games in a row, each of which went one or more overtime periods, she lost the next three for a total of twelve wins to five defeats. One hundred eleven The WOLVERINE The first game of the season, with Alma college, was taken easily by the Spartan five. Almost every man on the squad saw service as coach Van Alstyne looked his material over. The final score of the game was State 39, Alma 12. The starting lineup was Pinneo forward, Boeskool center, McCaslin forward, Kircher guard and Vondette guard. The second game of the season, however, was more un­ fortunate for State. Not yet thoroughly shaken down and as polished as later, the team lost to the University of Michigan, 27 to 5. Again Pinneo, Boeskool, McCaslin, Kircher and Vondette started the game, with practically the whole team getting a chance before the season was over. Following Christmas vacation the team celebrated the new year by taking Ohio University into camp, 29-15. The game was close and exciting, and not until the last period was more than half way over did the Spartan quintet obtain a comfortable lead. Boeskool was the scoring leader of the game, scoring nine points, with Pinneo helping with seven. The following night Cornell was humbled in another close and exciting game. Pinneo scored 11 points which with Boskool’s 5 and Kircher’s 5 and the able support of the other members put State out in front to the tune of 29 to 26. Right up until the final gun the game was in doubt, and it took Pinneo’s long throw to decide the game. Western Reserve was the next victim in another close game. The score was tied with only a few minutes to play when Kircher sunk a long one to win for State 17 to 15. Boeskool and Pinneo were tied for scoring honors for the game with four points apiece. DEE PINNEO 1 In one of the most thrilling games of the season Notre Dame defeated State 28 to 25. The game was close and exciting and it was not until the final seconds of the game that Notre Dame scored twice in succession to overcome a State lead and win the game. Vondette and Kircher were the scoring leaders of the game with ten and seven points respectively. It was their long toms which kept State in the running until the closing minutes. After this defeat State struck her winning stride and started a series of eight victories by defeating Xavier, 22 to 20 in another close and exciting game. McCaslin, regular foreward, was out of the game on account of injuries and his place was ably filled by Keast. The game was fierce and fast and was characterized by a little roughness at times. Boeskool’s one-handed shot just before the gun put State in the lead. The second victim of the winning streak was the Uni­ versity of Detroit who was defeated by the score 22 to 13. State had sweet revenge in this for her earlier defeat in football at Detroit. The game was fast and not until the One hundred twelve haga, ftosh coach ______ ={ Thp WOLVERINE 1= •8 second half of the game did State get into the lead. Mc- Caslin was high scorer of the game with thirteen points, the season’s record for points scored in one game. The following week Colgate University was taken to the tune of 30 to 21. This game saw the return of oldtime form in the State camp and the team looked every bit as good as the team of 1931. McCaslin was the scoring leader of the game with eight points. Vondette also had seven points, and Boeskool five. The following night Colgate, in the second game of the series staged a comeback and very nearly won. The game went into an overtime period with State finally coming out on top, 29 to 28. In the overtime period Vondette sank a long tom and Colgate made a foul to let State win by the slender margin of one point. The next game, with Kalamazoo, was characterized by loose playing on both sides. State missed many easy dog shots and their passing of the ball was a bit off. McCaslin was high scorer of the game with eight points with Boeskool next with six. The score was 17 to 9. In the next game State scored a revenge over the Uni­ versity of Michigan for the defeat earlier in the season by defeating them 14-13. The game was fast and furious and went to two overtime periods. The score was tied at eleven all when the regular period was over and Boeskool’s basket was matched by the University. Then in the final period Kircher sank a foul to put State out in front by the margin of one point. Boeskool was high scorer with six points with Kircher next with three. WAYNE SCOTT Frosh Coach Marquette University gave State its second double overtime period game a week later. State was ahead until a few minutes before the end of the regular time and went into a stall but Marquette broke through and scored to tie the game up. In the first overtime period Kircher sank a long tom to match a basket by Marquette and the score was again tied. Then in the final period Boeskool sank a one- handed shot to win for State 25-23. Kircher was high scorer of the game with eight points. Boeskool had four and Pinneo six. Tired by these long hard games, the team had to put up a ter­ rific struggle to win from the University of Detroit, 35 to 34 in another overtime game a week later. The team was behind until the final few seconds of play when Boeskool sank a basket, followed by one by Dufffeld to tie the game up and send it into an overtime period, the seventh in five games. In this Vander- Roest made a basket, followed by a foul for Detroit and State won by one point. Boeskool sank five baskets for a total of ten points and high score with Pinneo next with nine. Tired by this series of overtime games State was fated to lose the next three in a row. On Xavier’s home floor she was de­ feated in an overtime period by the score 24 to 31. State showed up as good or better than Xavier in the early part of the game but in the last half and in the overtime period the effects of JACK HEPPINSTALL Trainer The WOLVERINE FRESHMAN BASKET BALL TEAM hard games and overtime periods wore them down to make it easy for Xavier. Vondette was high scorer for state with seven points with Boeskool and McCaslin tied for second place with fiveM The next Monday night State was defeated by Notre Dame on their floor 28 to 20. Again State was good until the half, but, worn down by too many hard games, she succumbed in the second half and was defeated by eight points. Pinneo was high scorer with eight points. In .the last game of the year, at Marquette University at Milwaukee, Wis­ consin, State was outfought by a hard fighting, fresher team. State was defeated to the tune of 18 to 43. Pinneo, Boeskool, and Vondette each had four points and Patchett made one basket. The game, although one sided, was no runaway, the team being just too exhausted to play at top speed. Although Coach Scott did not have a winning season he developed some good material for next year. Practically every man on the squad got a chance to play. Albert H. Baker Theron C. Fager Charles M.

This fact promises a strong team for Michigan State for the next two years. Though Michigan State won only thirteen games while dropping nine, the schedule was one of the toughest ever attempted by a Spartan baseball team. Not only that, but a majority of the games were played under strain of constant com­ petition. The infield was by far the weakest spot on the team. Many games were dropped because of poor fielding and at times, when pitchers had hurled nearly perfect ball, they would be forced to suffer defeat only because of lack of support. Hitting was above average. The all-sophomore outfield displayed some punch at the bat that made its threat in every game played. Three games were postponed because of rain. One of the games with Mississippi A. and M. was not played while the team was on its southern trip, while two games with Notre Dame were postponed during the regular playing season because of rain. This was the first time in several years that a Michigan State baseball team had not played with a team representing the Ramblers. Sports enthusiasts on the campus were given a bit of baseball as played by Oriental exponents of the game when the Hosei University team of Japan came for One hundred eighteen Gibbs at Bat Madonna Hits a two game series. The Japs proved that the game as played in Japan is not much different than that played in the United States by taking the Kobs men down in both games. Previous to their encounter with State, the Hosei team had lost some close games because of their not being acclimated to Michigan weather. When they reached East Lansing the weatherman prescribed some real Japanese weather, for the Hosei team played errorless, flawless ball, and hit the pellet to all parts of f the field with ease. Phenominal plays on the part of the Hosei fielders robbed Michigan State of several easy chances to score in both games, and the Jap pitchers seemed to take a delight in seeing Michigan State’s sluggers wave futilely at the balk . Outstanding during the season was the winning of the third series in as many years from the University of Michigan. For the past three years State has won two games from the University while dropping only one. Just as the Spartan football team has rather tough rowing against the Michigan gridders, so the Michigan Baseballers have a hard time to win a series from Michigan State. In the three game series Charles Griffin and Captain Bud Gibbs distinguished themselves. Griffin winning two contests on the mound, and Gibbs doing spectacular work at the plate. Heavy hitting resulted in the signing of Captain Gibbs by the Detroit Tigers at the end of the Michigan State season, and the State captain played the remainder . One hundred nineteen I The WOLVERINE J •« ! ■ I Cuthbertson Hits Home Run Griffin of the summer with Evansville and Wheeling, West Virginia. He displayed the same kind of baseball in professional play as he did in college and is considered by sports writers as future major league material. He was the second Michigan State college player to advance to the majors within the past few years. Splitting their six game series with southern teams on their southern trip, the Spartans came home to start a winning streak of five games. This streak was terminated by the double defeat administered by the Hosei team. The Kobsmen took two games before starting on a trip to Chicago which ended in defeats at the hands of the University of Chicago and Northwestern. Indiana, the other Big Ten team beside Michigan to face State, won and lost a game in a two-game series. Captain Gibbs led the team in hitting. His long distance clouts were features of nearly every game played by Michigan State. He drove in more runs than any other player with his long hits and proved exceedingly helpful in the pinches. His steady and reliable fielding was also a factor in his being signed by the Detroit ball team. Abe Eliowitz exchanged his football togs for a baseball uniform and continued to star for the Spartans. He played at first base throughout the season and his powerful bat was a decided advantage to the team. Charley Griffin and Berwyn Pemberton, two southpaws, the latter a sophomore were the mainstays of the pitching staff, though Harris “Jumbo” Kahl and Gerald McCaslin, also a sophomore, were in the thick of the pitching assignments. These two were right-handers and rounded out a dependable staff of steady hurlers. Captain-elect John Madonna won the distinction of being the steadiest in­ fielder on the team. He not only handled himself efficiently in the field, but also contributed a number of hits at opportune times. He had a steadying influence on the rest of the infield. Most of the catching during the season was done by John “Jab” Barnard, who is considered by Coach Kobs as about the best receiver to work under him during his stay at Michigan State. Barnard, in addition to his steady work behind the bat, also had a potent bat that wreaked havoc in the pinches. In several games, the Spartans were able to pull a game out of the fire because of a timely hit by the colorful Barnard. One hundred twenty Gibbs Scores The spirit of the team was of the finest, though at times the team was apparently in a heavy slump, it was able to come through in crucial moments and do the almost impossible. All of the games that Michigan State dropped after beginning the home season were of the closest kind. Only three of the regular season games were lost by more than one run. Of these the Hosei team took two, defeating the Spartans 5 to 3 and 4 to 1. Indiana won the other with a score of 6 to 3. The remainder of the games with the exception of the second game with the^University of Mississippi which was lost 10 to 1, were dropped by one point margins. Of the men varsity letter winners only four men will be lost this year. They are Captain Eddie Gibbs, Harris Kahl, Keith Byrne and John Barnard. An entire veteran team will play for Coach Kobs during the 1932 season. A number of sophomores who will be up from the freshman team this year will also help Kobs considerably.

In the outdoor season the team made an enviable record. The team showed up especially strong in the distance events and it is to the consistent performance in these events that the team owes its fine record. Steele, Bath, Liberty, Russell, Yarger One hundred twenty-five HI The WOLVERINE -•a /^LARK S. CHAMBERLAIN remains a constant L/ source of surprise to those who knew him when he first entered college. He had absolutely no high school athletic experience of any kind; he appeared to be a decidedly poor prospect from every angle. Nevertheless, in spite of his ludicrous form and ex­ tremely frail physique his progress the first year was slow and steady, and his initial appearances in inter­ collegiate competition consisted of a series of sharp defeats. He climaxed his 1930 cross-country season by winning the I. C. A. A. championship at Van Courtlandt Park, New York, running the rain-soaked six-mile course in 30:19. The 1931 cross-country season proved his championship caliber, for, after losing his I. C. A. A. A. A. A. title to Dean of Pennsylvania in a heartbreak­ ing battle at the finish, he came back a week later to capture the National Senior A. A. U. six-mile cross­ country championship in the remarkable time of 29:42. In spite of his acquired speed, Chamberlain is a true long-distance runner. He runs nearly flat-footed and at full speed there is little change in his style. The most remarkable thing about his performance seems to be his amazing versatility, for in 70 competitive inter-collegiate meets he placed in all and won 44 races. Clark broke 29 records—over 45 miles in record break­ ing time! He ran the two-mile in 9:18.6 and the mile in 4:16.8. CLARK S. CHAMBERLAIN In the first indoor meet of the season Michigan State defeated the University of Chicago 58-2/3 to 36-1/3* In this meet Chamberlain set a new Varsity and meet record for the mile, 4:26.8. The distance events were almost swept by State. In the second meet Marquette University gave the team a hard struggle before In the distance Chamberlain repeated his triumph being defeated 58b£ to 503^. of the week before, taking both the mile and two mile. Smith set a new Varsity record in the high jump. The third meet was even closer, Michigan State 55, Ohio Wesleyan 54. Again State shone in the distances and in the weights and field events. Chamberlain set a new varsity record for the two mile run 9:44.1 and Mears of Ohio Wesleyan set a new gynmasium record for the forty yard low hurdles. In the fifth annual track and field meet at Notre Dame on March 5-6 Michigan State came in second, being defeated only by Notre Dame. The following week at the University of Illinois indoor relay, several members of the team took several second places and two fourths. Chamberlain took second place in the two mile and Russell, Yarger and Bath each took fourth place in their respective heats in the 75 yard high hurdles.

As inside, the team was strong in the distance with Chamberlain especially excelling in the mile and two mile. On May 9, The University of Detroit was defeated 80 to 51. The team re­ peated their triumph of the week before and carried their traditional rivals to overwhelming defeat. May 22 the Sixth Annual Intercollegiate Meet was held at Milwaukee, Wiscon­ sin. The team was third in a field of six with 32}^ points. At the Drake Relays, Chamberlain, the only entrant from M. S. C. set a new record to win the two miles.

Cer­ tain hours each day were spent working in the fields as supplementary work to their studies. This practical work taught them how to apply the principles which they learned in class. About one hundred and forty acres of land were cultivated by the students and in this way they made trials of new imple­ ments, tested varieties of seeds, and at the same time raised a great deal of-food for the institute. Other labor such as repairing roads, clearing and logging timber from the college land was also done by the students. This combination of study and work was a new and dangerous experiment, but its paramount object was to enable a student to support himself by his own labor while obtaining an education. | The WOLVERINE | •« 7EAN ANDERSON, Sigma Kappa, was a member of Sphinx, the Pan-Hellenic council, and the Home Economics Club.

The objects of this organization are to secure and maintain a high standard of scholarship in forest education, to work for the upbuilding of the profession of forestry, and to promote fraternal relations among earnest workers engaged in forest activities. Business meetings are held every two weeks to transact the business of the fra­ ternity. Social meetings are held about twice a term when outside speakers give talks on forestry topics of the day. Candidates for membership must have by the close of summer camp, at least a “B” average during the preceding two and one-third years. They must also have demonstrated superior qualities of good character, leadership, and fellowship. One hundred ninety-eight i The WOLVERINE J= Tietsort, Cogger, Thompson,.

Organized in 1884, it now consists of 148 sections and branches. # The local branch was organized April 2, 1918. The object of the branch is to bring to the student of Electrical Engineering a better knowledge of modern ad­ vancement in Engineering and the Allied Arts and Sciences. Papers by students of the local branch have been accorded highest honors upon being presented before various intersectional meets of the institute. An excellent demonstration of modern science was staged at the annual Engineering Show. This past year has witnessed the second of a series of dual-branch meetings with the University of Michigan. These meetings have served to bring together two of the most outstanding schools of Engineering in the country for an informal get-together. The WOLVERINE —-a Bowser, Ardziejewski, Waltz, Colby.

The following year thirteen more branches were established, and from that time the movement grew rapidly to its present status of one hundred seven branches. Our local branch was formed in 1919. The object of the student branch is to bring the student engineer in contact with the practical aspects of mechanical engineering. This is done by the use of three publications: “A. S. M. E. News”, “Mechanical Engineering”, and “Transac­ tions”, also by group and sectional meetings at which the student becomes ac­ quainted with the practical engineer. Trips thru industrial plants serve to further the purpose of the student branch by presenting practical problems and their solutions.

Of the number trying out, as many are kept on the squad as the coach thinks capable of developing into good debate material. During the past year Michigan State met teams from Olivet College, Michigan State Normal College of Ypsilanti, City College of Detroit, Albion College, Hills­ dale College, Hope College, Adrian College, Central State Teachers’ College, and Depauw University of Greencastle, Indiana. On March 26th the team, accompanied by the coach, left for Tulsa, Oklahoma, where they competed again in the national tournament of Pi Kappa Delta. Each year, in addition to the regular schedule of college debates, as long as the standard of debate warrants it, the team takes a trip, meeting colleges and universities from neighboring states. Next year the provincial tournament of Pi Kappa Delta will be held at Grove City, Pennsylvania and it is planned that the team will compete there. Each year awards are given to all members of the squad who are eligible to membership in Pi Kappa Delta in the form of gold gavels.

The “co-eds” studied chemistry, botany, horticulture, and other branches of education. Work was furnished them when it was available. They even prepared seed for ground, cut potatoes, trans­ planted tomatoes, flowered plants, and pruned shrubbery. In 1895 a course in Home Economics was offered for the instruction of women. Abbott Hall was used as a dormitory and laboratory for cooking, sewing, and calisthenics. 1 1 m i !> ==I The WOLVERINE]: •Î DEAN ELISABETH CONRAD /T^ THE 75th anniversary we are all looking back at the history ^ which has been made. Figures suddenly become interesting; 1110 women on the campus today, 111 women on the campus in 1900 when the Woman’s Building was built. The first woman graduated in ’79, and the first hall opened for women in 1896 when Abbott Hall was changed from a men’s dormitory to a women’s dormitory because a Department of Domestic Science was to be introduced. It is not surprising that graduates of a few years ago cannot realize the extent to which women’s activities have assumed importance at Michigan State College for in 1925 there were 543 women registered which means that in six years the number of women has more than doubled. Michigan State College has always been proud of the fine type of girl who enrolls here, of the spirit of cooperation and democracy maintained on the campus, and cherishes this standard of fine calibre rather than great numbers. !

A system of awards has been devised by the society whereby numerals are given for the first hundred points earned, a small “S” for one thousand points, and the Honor Roll for fifteen hundred points. For membership on a class team one hundred points are given, as given for being an officer of the organization. For holding an association chairmanship one receives seventy-five points, fifty points are given for second team membership and for holding a managership position of a sport. Twenty-five points are given for team tryouts and participation in any of the events offered, such as the annual over-night canoe trip and cross-country hike.

On February 14, 1922, rooms in Wells Hall were secured as club rooms, and dur­ ing the winter a petition to Alpha Gamma Rho was prepared. The petition was voted upon by the chapters of the fraternity early in the spring, accepted, and on April 14, 1922, Tau Chapter was formally installed by Brothers Bull, Wilson, and Harmer, Lambda.

Local Fraternity Established in 1908 ■EARLY twenty-five years ago a dozen men gathered in old College Hall and ^organized a society whose object was the mutual improvement of its mem­ bers along social, literary, and educational lines. The group developed rapidly and in 1912, four years after the founding, forty men incorporated the organiza­ tion under the name of the Delphic Literary Society. During the next few years the organization was one of the strongest literary societies on the campus. The World War came and sixty Delphics were in uniform. Following the war the organization renewed its activities and in 1920 purchased the house now occupied by the society. During the next ten years, many important changes took place on the campus. In this period the Delphic organization gradually developed and became primarily a social fraternity. The house has been well represented in campus activities. The present membership includes men prominent in athletics, musical organizations, scholastic honoraries, and political activities. As part of the social program, six open houses and a fall term party were held in the house ballroom. The annual formal party was held in the Union ballroom on February 20th with Tommy Towner’s orchestra furnishing the music.; Many of the men who have worn the Delphic torch in the past twenty-five years are prominent in state, political and business activities. We are especially proud of the fact that one of these men, Prof. L. C. Plant, has been actively con­ nected with the society since its organization.
