THE  M.  A.  C.  RECORD 

Hie  Gold  Simadmrd  of  Valme^ 

Lansing's Largest Industry 

The  Reo  Motor  Car  Company  extends  visiting  alumni  of 
M.  A.  C.  a  cordial  invitation  to  visit  its  factory  and  watch 
Reo products  in  course  of  manufacture. 

In  its  25  miles  of  aisles  are  5968  individual  machines,  giv 
ing  employment  to  4,584  persons,  exclusive  of  the  office  force. 
Of  the  49  acres  of  land  owned  by  the  company,  34  is  actually 
built  upon;  the  floor  space  of  the  shops  totals  4 3^  acres. 

A  gigantic  factory  in  a  gigantic  industry,  Reo  is  a  Lansing 
institution  all the  way  through.  Created  and  financed  by  Lan 
sing  people,  it  is  a  remarkable  example  of  self-containment 
and  continuity  of  management.  Through  nearly  two  decades 
of  successful  operation  its  directorate  has  remained  intact. 

Reo's  commanding  position  in  the  industry  is  due  to  the 
quality  of  its  products,  to  its  policy  of  manufacturing 
the 
vehicles  complete  in  its  own  shops,  and  to  the  diversity  of  the 
line.  Five  models  of  passenger  cars,  the  Speed  Wagon  in 
twelve  body  styles,  the  Reo  Taxicab,  the  Speed  Wagon  Parcel 
Delivery,  and  Reo  Busses  combine  to  represent  the  most  com 
plete  line  of  motor  vehicles  produced  by  any  one  factory  in 
the  world. 

If  a  visit  to  the  Reo  factory  is  not  possible,  request  should 
be  made  for  a  copy  of  the  66-page  book  "Reasons  for  Reo." 
This  is  a  resume  of  Reo's  activities,  and  is  sent  without  cost 
to  anybody  making  the  request.

T he Days of Auld Lang Syne 
THROUGH  the  achievements  and  absorbing  interests 

that  come  w i th  passing  years,  the  gray-haired 
graduate  goes  back,  in  imagination,  to  his  years  of 
college  and  finds  anew  the  inspiration  of  old  comrades 
and  old  associations.  His  memory  gives  him  once 
again  the  eager  anticipation  of  the  young  student 
just  b e g i n n i ng  to  r e g a rd  t he  w o r ld  as  his  o wn 
particular  oyster. 

And  in  a  few  years  the  student  of  today  will  see  the 
old  scenes  and  recall  the  familiar  faces  through  the 
fond  eyes  of  memory  that  now  serve  the  graduate  of 
yesterday,  for  both  will  have  learned  the  life  time 
devotion  that  comes  from  loyalty  to  a common  cause 
and  both  will  have  learned  the  value  of  friendship 
that  is  given  for  friendship's  sake. 

At  this  time, when  old  friendships  are  being  renewed

Perhaps  the  events  of  Homecoming  time  would 
have  left  a  more  satisfied  lot  of  alumni  had  the 
football  score  been  reversed.  The  spirit  to  win 
is  strong  in  the  graduate  as  well  as  the  student, 
is 
perhaps  more  so  as 
thrown  into  contact  with  alumni  of  other  colleges 
where  in  most  cases  the  main  point  of  discussion 
is  sports. 
In  spite  of  this  cloud  the  Homecoming 
Day  of  1923  will  be  recorded  as  the  most  success 
ful  up  to  that  time.  Perfect  weather,  plenty  of 
time  to  see  the  additions  to  the  campus—the  new 
buildings,  the  stadium;  an  opportunity 
to  renew 
friendships  among  the  largest  crowd  recorded  for 
a  Homecoming  Day.  These  are  enough  for

in 
M.  A.  C.  history.  This  adds

superlatives  but  is  merely  a  statement  of  fact.  At 
least  it  was  an  ideal  night  for  the  ceremony  and

of  years  in  the  fact  that  the  symbolical  hatchet
