You are fortunate indeed if favored with the opportunity of entering the sphere of higher education in some college or university, but you will at once find yourself confronted with new and perplexing problems relating to the choice of college, courses, objectives, standards, and ideals. College the individual to succeed in reaching a posi tion in after life of dignity, importance and comfortable means, and to help him be of real service to his fellow men. should enable training To enjoy life and to be of real service one should seek basic college training, so that eventually he may understand what he sees and reads and hears, interpret these things correctly and then make wise application of the deductions. Insofar as our judgment goes, we strongly believe in laying a basic foundation in science during the first two years of college, upon which to build the superstructure of specializa tion. Michigan State College, essentially a school of applied science, offers ideal opportunities for this basic training in the pursuit of the technological courses which predominate. A s our success and satisfaction and happiness in active life depend much on relationships which we establish and maintain with our fellow men, the college student should supplement his technical training with both the liberal and the cultural. Michigan State College offers ideal opportunities for this supplemental training lan guages, dramatics, etc. in music, art, literature, Moreover, to the basic scientific and the supplemental cultural should be added all the refinements of correct social procedure together with ease, accuracy, simplicity and effectiveness of expression. These are essential parts of good collegiate training.

Many paths meet, and cross, at Michigan State College, where s tudents gather from all parts of the world for a cultural, scientific education. In this pic ture , one path leads to the Union, student rec reational center, and to the right is the Home Economics Building. Michigan State College-Your Opportunity for To the high school graduate, Michigan State College means the opportunity for an education in friendly, democratic surroundings, under direction of a com petent and well trained faculty. Cultural, Scientific Educdtion at Reasonable Cost Still maintaining the rugged simplicity with which it was founded , the College has kept pace with the changes that have taken place in the State of Michigan during the 83 years since it was established by an act of the Michigan Legislature. From the first foundation, Agriculture, it include Engineering, has expanded Home Economics, Veterinary Science, Applied Science and Liberal Arts. To parents, Michigan State College means the opportunity for their children to receive advanced training in a state and federally supported institution, function ing as part of Michigan's system of free public schools. to The College, to the people of the state generally, means a place where they can go for information on problems that con front them in their dealings with nature and society. Eighty-one years ago the College started with one building and four faculty mem bers. Today there are 60 major buildings, more than 3,500 acres of land, and a faculty of more than four hundred members, besides a staff of more than 200 experi ment station research workers and exten sion specialists. In 1857, the enrollment was 124 young men ; in 1938 more than 5,000 young men and women from all but two counties of Michigan, from 39 other states, and from eight foreign countries are enrolled for instruction in one of the six divisions. M ICHIGAN STATE COLLEGE today is recognized as a Class A institution by all the accrediting organizations, including the high ranking Association of American Universities. A degree from Michigan State admits to graduate work anywhere, provided other requirements are met. the student The College governing board, the State Board of Agriculture, has a definite policy of bringing into the faculty not only those who have a scholarly background, but also those who have shown genuine distinction in their teaching. During the first two years of his course, each student is under the direct super vision of a member of the faculty. During his last two years, he receive·s the personal attention of the head of the department in In this way, he is which he majors . encouraged to make the fullest and best use of his time. Personal contact wi th members of the faculty is a potent influ ence in the student's life. I N many other ways, the College looks after the student's welfare. A hospital is maintained on the campus, and every fre shman recei ves a thorough physical examination. Students when ill are re quired to report to the ho spital, where they receIve the attention of a competent physician. New students are introduced to college life during Freshman Week, which opens three days before term. Faculty advisers guide them through their first registration, and new students soon feel at home in the friendly atmosphere. regular the The influence of East Lansing is quiet, wholesome and clean. The city's one church, an inter-denominational organiza tion, cares for religious needs of Protestant students. The Church of the Resurrection in nearby Lansing has a special program for Catholic students. Students of all faiths will find their churches in Lansing. The College, though a state supported Agriculture H as Its C enter H ere inst itution and non-sectarian, does not lack religious atmosphere. Each year the College sponsors a lecture cours e in which men and women who are prominent in many fields-literature, art, economics, travel and politics-bring to students their ph ilosophies. ex periences and their An Artists course, directed by the Music D epartment, brings to the campus out stan ding individual musical artists and organizati ons, while the department itself adds to the cultural li f e of the College through its glee clubs, orchestra, chorus and military band.

Through Towering Trees ...... the Home Economics Building- Spacious Campus and Well-Equipped Buildings beyond the boundaries of Michigan. State College campus is known far T HE natural beauty of the Michigan Provide Desirable Setting ~or Study and Recreation Hall, which houses many of the depart ments of the Liberal Arts Division. The Horticulture Building, near the east end of the campus, is bounded on one side by gardens devoted to experimental growing of fruits and flowers and on another by greenhouses. A little farther south is the Dairy Building, and across the drive is the chemistry building, Kedzie Hall. Across the river one sees the large barns of the Agricultural Experiment Station. "One of the three most beautiful in the United States" is the statement frequently heard about the College along the banks of the Red Cedar River. Central on the campus is Beaumont Tower. Erected in 1928 by Mr. and Mrs. John W. Beaumont, of Detroit, it marks the site of the first college building in the world devoted to the teaching of scientific agriculture. From its belfry ring out the chimes that mark the passing hours and celebrate State's athletic victories. to Entering the campus from Lansing and East Lansing, one comes first the Union Building, center of student recre ational activities and gathering place for campus Vlsltors. Then to the east, the Home Economics Building, a modern structure equipped to meet the growing needs of this expanding science. On its fourth floor is the Little Theater, where student dramatics and recitals are given, and in its tower are the studios of the College radio station, WKAR. Farther along the circle to the east and south is a group of the older buildings. venerable and filled with traditions of former days. This group includes Morrill A ND then to the west, Agricultural Hall, the Woodshop, Olds Hall of Engineering, the Library, Wells Hall, and then the Beal Botanic Gardens, one of the finest sights on the campus. The Physics Building and the Men's Gymnasium are to the sout4west side of the campus, and across the Red Cedar is Demonstration Hall, where offices o,f the Military Department are located. Not far away are the football practice fields, the Stadium, baseball diamond and the outdoor track. Buildings are of red brick, and the newer units follow an early English trend in architecture. Surrounded by stately trees and well kept lawns, they blend into their natural setting to be admired and enjoyed by all who see and use them. The Olds Hall of Engineering Kedz ie Hall .... .... Home of Chemistry Library Facilities The one hundred twenty-six thousand volumes which comprise the Michigan State College library are housed in a modern, com fortable building, conveniently located near the center of the campus. The main reading room, periodical reading room and other study rooms have a seating capacity of 484. These rooms are filled with students nearly every morning, afternoon and even~ng as class assignments are prepared and research projects lead to interesting fields of study. Besides the thousands of volumes, more than 1,000 periodicals are received regularly for students' use. What Will It Cost? H OW much money will I need for my freshman year at Michigan State Col lege?

The Federal Government, Although necessary expenses are kept to a minimum, the prospective student is urged to prepare a budget and arrange to meet expenses of the first term, preferably of the first year, before coming to East Lansing. The college, of course, cannot guarantee employment to all who apply for it, although the offices of the Dean of Men and the Dean of Women place students in part-time jobs. its National Youth Administration program, for several years has provided funds for the college to employ a few hundred students each term. Whether this program will be continued in the 1938-39 school year has not been determined. Students desiring to apply for NY A work, if the program is continued, may write during July to Glen O. Stewart, Alumni Secretary and NY A Director, Union Building, East Lansing, Michigan. through Throughout student activities at Michigan State College, a democratic atmosphere pre vails, and the student with limited funds finds himself at no social disadvantage.

Y OUNG men who enter Michigan State College in the fall term, 1938, may live in either of two dormitories, the new Stevens T . Mason Hall or Wells Hall. For many years, Wells Hall was the only large dormitory on the campus. Then the College began a student in 1930, housing program with construction of Mary Mayo Hall, for women students, and in 1937 another women's unit, Sarah Lang don Williams Hall, was added. The newest and largest building on the Michigan State College campus when Freshman Week opens Tuesday, Sept. 20, will be Stevens T . Mason Hall, college home for 446 men students, located at the east side of the campus. This building will be ready for occupancy in September. Wells Hall accommodates 204, making dormitory rooms available to 650 men. That this new men's dormitory should honor Michigan's first governor, Stevens Thomson Mason, is entirely appropriate, for it is Stevens Thomson Mason who is credited with having established in the state a system of free public schools. Michigan State College is part of this system. Board and room in Stevens T. Mason Hall will be $8.50 a week, and no room may be obtained without board. Room rent in Wells Hall varies from $1.25 to $2.25 a week. Meals may be obtained in the Wells Hall Cooperative Boarding Club at rates varying between $4.50 and $5.50 a week. Full information concerning rooms in in dormitories, reservations and rooms private homes may be obtained by writing to the Office of the Dean of Men. Th e Stevens T. Mason Hal l for Men tut who live with A LL freshman women, except those their parents, are expected to Hve in one of the several modern dormitories provided by the Col lege and operated under supervision of the Dean of Women. Sarah Langdon Williams Hall, newest and largest of the women's dormitories, was completed in September, 1937, and is on the west side of the campus. Rooms in this unit are available to 258 women students. Mary Mayo Hall, first building in Michi gan State College's dormitory construction program, provides rooms for 246 women, and the Union dormitory and North Hall each has a capacity of 80 women students. Two smaller cooperative dormitories, Concord House and Rochdale House, accommodate 18 and 16 occupants respec in other tively, at lower rates than dormitories because students do the house keeping. Rooms for 698 women students are provided in the six dormitories. Rooms range in price from $36 to $60 a term for each student, an average of from $3.00 to $5.00 a week. Board usually is between $5.00 and $6.00 a week, the exact figure contingent upon market prices at the opening of the school year. Dormitory rooms are comfortably fur nished, and the location of the buildings the makes them convenient library and to student activities. Undergraduate women not live tories are expected approved by the Dean of Women. in dormi in houses to classes, to Women wishing full information con cerning rooms in dormitories, reservations, and rooms in private homes may write to the Office of the Dean of Women. The Sarah Langdon Williams Hall for Women Agriculture Dean: E. L. Anthony The Division of Agriculture offers two series of courses, one for students of general agri culture and one for those interested in forestry. With its modern barns and carefully selected herds and flocks, the Division is well equipped for the study of the most effective methods of housing, feeding and breeding of livestock. Nearby experimental fields , orchards, plant breeding nurseries and the College farm of 1,600 acres provide an excellent opportunity for the study of scientific methods of crop produc tion and improvement. Forestry For young men interested in the out-of-doors and who have some practical knowledge of our resources, the course in Forestry is offered. Recent national developments have enlarged the opportunities for service in this field. With sixty to seventy millions of acres being retired from agriculture and devoted to reforestation, there is a demand for trained foresters. Courses provide for study of various phases of forestry. Opportunities for application of forestry are provided in a required 10 weeks' summer camp and in extended field trips and field laboratories.

Athletics Director: Ralph Young A well balanced athletic program, supervised by competent coaches, gives students opportunity to participate in many sports. Spartan teams compete with the best teams in the country, and the football team in the 1937 regular season turned in a brilliant record of eight victories and only one defeat. A post-season game in Miami's Orange Bowl, with Auburn University as the opponent, rewarded Coach Charlie Bachman' s boys for their outstanding achievement. The Spartans defeated Wayne University, University of Michigan, University of Missouri, Marquette Uni v ersity, Uni versity of Kansas, Temple University, Carnegie Tech and San Francisco University, and lost only to Manhattan College. The team traveled approximately 40,000 miles, to play games from coast to coast. Basketball-Coach VanAlstyne's 1937-38 basketball squad, composed largely of sophomores, opened the season with sev eral games in the victory column. The Middle West's best basketball teams are regular opponents.
