THE M. A. C. RECORD !JJ VIEWS AND COMMENT President Friday has just completed his first year at the head of M. A. C. affairs. The benefits and faults of his administration will not be so apparent until some of the students who are now in college have completed their courses and gone out into the world. There has been a marked change in the complexion of the courses and new ones have been added. He entered upon his duties just after the legis lature's appropriation for a new library and home economics building had come into ma this turity. He will gain in prestige through addition to the equipment of institution. He found several places where no progress was being made, or at least not enough to the money being expended and he warrant abolished those or changed them to conform to what he believed would be the most pro ductive lines. He has instituted what is hailed as- an era of progress. He has proved to the college the value of having a keen minded ex perienced man at the head of its business. All last of these things he has accomplished but ing success or failure of his achievements rests with the students. the The new engineering course has not yet be gun to function, the applied science course is in its infancy; literature, art and music are but auxiliaries to other courses. The general broadening policy with a smaller number of term has not yet had credits required each an opportunity its worth. All of these are generally approved but their success must rest with the future. to prove In other ways than these President Friday has brouught to M. A. C. the certainty of a bright future. His activities on the campus and off have given the supporters of M. A. C. new reasons for optimism. He has brought with him the friendship and close interest of the college, he has Governor Groesbeck for stirred up a spirit of cooperation among the legislators which augurs good for finan cial interests of the college and his fame as a speaker and writer has carried the name of the college throughout the country. He has done these as no other M. A. C. president has the fruits of his work will done them and undoubtedly add to the standing of the col lege and the numbers of its student body. the The Student Viewpoint By B. A.

A. C. in preference to the numer ous trade schools throughout the country. His time has been very consistently and efficiently divided between courses in design, mechanics, drawing, bridges, heat treatment, foundry, and related subjects. He has found M. A.

He has found it narrow in its viewpoint if he de that sired a broad education grease the wheels of the other things in life worth while! in the factors In the our faculty final analysis, has realized the trend of modern thought. They have benefitted by contact with the new ideas and have attempted to comply with the liberal ism manifested on the campus. The applied science school demonstrated that fact. M. A.

A. C. to believe that the college appropriation bill will be finally approved and about half of the funds desired turned over to the college to provide for needed improve ments during the next two years. The budget as it will probably come from the committee includes $400,000 for a new horticulture build dormitory, ing, $150,000 improvements $150,000 for additions the on the heating and lighting equipment of college, $100,000 for a new bridge over the Red Cedar, a dairy barn and other buildings of type, $75,000 for a hospital, $50,000 for research and $225,000 for extension work. these projects are necessities which cannot be long overlooked unless the college is to take a step backward.

B. VonKleinschmidt, president of the University of Southern California, will be one of the annual meeting of the Southern California M. A. C; association on the evening of May 7. E. M.
