It  was  decided  by  vote  of  the  former  board 
in  control  that  a  change  should  be  suggested 
to  the  State  Board  and  it  was  the  work  of 
a  committee  of  the  old  board  which  was  ap 
proved  by  the  State  Board.  Under 
the  old 
scheme  of  organisation  a  large  number  of  ex-
officio  members  were  part  of  the  body  and  as 
a  rule  most  of  them  failed  to  attend  or  take 
part  in  its  councils.  Another  evil  was  the  dele 
gation  of  practically  all  power  invested  in  the 
board  to  a  committee  of  three  which  handled 
most  of

There  has  been  a  somewhat  unstable  situa

There  was  no  one

receive  such  expressions  of  opinion 
it  was 
powerless  to  do  anything  to  alter  conditions. 
In  other  words 
it  functioned  as  a  separate 
entity  shut  off  from  communication-with  most 
of  the  college  and  its  graduates  and  still  could

It  is  to  be  hoped  that  under  the  new  regime 
there  will  be  an  open  ear  to  criticism  and  a 
power  behind  the  board  in  control  which  will 
allow  it  to  function  as  it  believes  best  for  the 
interests  of  the  college.  As  the  only  depart

Aims  at  Greater  Profits  Without  Enlarging  Quantity  of  Production. 

"The  object  of  the  farm  crops  department," 
said  Professor  J.  F.  Cox,  "is  not  to  increase 
production  of  foodstuffs  for  forage  crops  but 
to  develop  more  efficient  production,  growing 
better  products  at  cheaper  cost.  The  depart 
ment  has  grown  by  great  strides  during  the 
past  three  years  due  to  investigations  in  mar 
ket  conditions  which  have  demonstrated 
that 
the  improved  quality  of  products,  makes  bet 
ter  prices  possible.  Much  can  be  done  to  in 
crease  the  farmer's  profits  by  cheapening  pro 
duction  costs  by  developing  higher  yield  varie

THE  M.  A.  C.  RECORD 

Have You  Paid 

Your  Debt  to 

M.  A C? 
You know your education cost the state 

twice as much as it cost you. 

As  a  business  or  professional  man  or 
ordinary citizen this must make it clear in 
your mind that  you are under  a moral ob 
ligation to make a return on this investment. 

HERE  IS  ONE  WAY 

Do  your  share  to  help  build  the  UNION  MEMORIAL  building. 

It  will be  an  imposing  structure  of  great  utility. 

It  will be an  attraction  to  desirable  students. 

It  will  serve  students,  faculty  and  visitors  and,  to  consider  it  from 

a  selfish  viewpoint,  it  will provide  you  with  a  campus  home,  a  place  to 
meet  your  friends,  a  clubhouse  where  you  will  be  always  welcome  and 
where  you  can  enjoy  true  M. A.  C.  hospitality.
