QJ Editor M. A. C. RECORD: for sime sixteen years As the late Dr. W. B. Barrows and myself were colleagues it gave me an excellent opportunity to learn of his ability as a naturalist, he having devoted a good part of his life to birds as their friend and protector. Instead of listening to his inspiring words concerning his favorites we must now be con tent to turn to his records left with us. He will be a great loss to the college. truly, W. J. Beal, Yours very Amherst, Mass. Overalls, and canvas gloves to protect ten der hands, will be in vogue when the college turns to its task of doing the excavating for the Union Memorial building. It is a job for men, such men as M. A. C. boasts among her student body and faculty. It will require more than lusty cheers or finely drawn arguments but there again is where the Green and White has proved itself proficient upon many- occa sions in the past. When there is work to do its collective coat and the college man's the shovel with the same strength of purpose it applies to the less rugged forms of endeavor in the classroom. takes off s o; if they are sluggish the organization will mirror their attitude. The Union Memorial building will express the attitude of the alumni of M. A. C. toward their college, it will show whether or not they have the interest of their college at heart and whether or not they are willing to ex press that interest in concrete terms. There has been no time in the history of the asso ciation when it has met such a test. The suc cess of this project depends upon the efforts of the alumni; the success of the association depends upon the success of the Union Me morial building campaign, they have become inseparably intertwined.

A. C. RECORD 11 He has a pull" L ET US FACE frankly this question of "Pull." It does exist in business. The President of a Company hires the son of a trusted friend. Why? Not merely because the young man is the son of a friend; but because the President believes that good blood will tell. An M.A.C. graduate, who is a general manager, hires an M.A.C. graduate as an assistant. Why? Not merely because the younger man is an M.A.C. man, but because the general manager believes that training will tell. I N Cincinnati the Board of Directors of a financial institution was considering several men for the position of Vice President and General Manager. The successful applicant—the man who now holds that coveted position—has written an account of his interview with the Board of Directors. "I stated my experience," he writes, "and added that I had completed the Modern Business Course of the Alexander Hamilton Institute 1 then learned that several members or the Board were subscribers to the Institute. Thev evidently knew that the knowledge obtained from the Course and Service gives a man a thoro grasp of the controlling forces of busi- ness, and fits him to hold a responsible executive position. At any rate, I was selected . . ." There are men in Cincinnati who say of this man: "He has a pull with the Directors." They are right. But the "pull" is a per- fectly legitimate one.

The known possessor of a real story or a bit of per sonal gossip can break in on the most elusive, se cluded man in the world. The Alumni Magazines carry personal gossip of friends and acquaintances to the men who are doing a majority of the important jobs. They register with the most direct kind of a personal appeal to the in dividual subscribers. The reader interest can hardly be compared with the interest in a general magazine or business paper. Because the subscribers to alumni magazines are open-minded, substantial individuals, average age 34, the advertising alongside of alumni newsnotes must receive extraordinary attention. You are reading this. We hope this will visualize to you the men who will read your advertisement or that of your company, if placed in this and other alumni magazines. The forty-four alumni publications have a com bined circulation of 160,000 college trained men. Advertising space may be bought individually or collectively, or in any way desired.

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.
