The  M.  A.  C.  Record 

Alumni  Opinion 

Dear  M a c: 

I  did  not  intend  to  write  but  a  letter  in 

Tin-  RECORD  makes  me  speak. 

It  is  hard  to  imagine  that  a  man  of  the 
stamp  of  " ' 0 2"  the  yachtsman,  ever  attend 
ed  M.  A.  C. 

From 

the  tone  of  his  letter  you  would 
deduct  that  he  Had  subscribed  a  sum  equal 
to  the  total  amount  of  indebtedness  on  the 
Memorial,  But  he  subscribed  one  hundred 
dollars,  the  same  amount  that  hundreds  of 
students  just  out  of  school  who  have  debts 
on  their  hands  and  no  more  money 
than 
a  Russian  count,  subscribed.  But,  to  top  it 
oil.  he  in  his  great  indignation  at  the  dun 
ning  letter  for  his  huge  pledge,  proceeds 
to  boast  of  his  yacht  and  life  of  ease. 

Does  he  understand  that  this  is  not  only 
a.  gift  to  his  alma  mater,  who  made  him, 
but  a  memorial  to  her  sons  killed  in  three. 
wars  whose  deeds  enable  him  to  sail  from 
liar  Harbor,  Maine,  to  Jacksonville,  Fla., 
under  the  American  flag,  on  free  seas  and 
in  one  country,  not  two ? 

I  vote  that  the  alumni  .association  refund 
the  two  cents  for  postage  and  tear  up  his 
subscription  card.

Dear  M a c: 

some  time  ago  but  since

the  alumni  are  fortunate  enough  to  own  a 
yacht  and  travel  all  over  the  mighty  ocean.

that  I  could  help  my  alma  mater  as 
I 
would  love  to.  When  I  am  able  I  will  send 
my  check  without  being  asked  to  or  hav 
ing  someone  "waste  good  money"  on  me. 
I  wonder  if  everybody  acted  like  ' " 0 2"

they  are  due 

It  is  time  to  plan  class  activities  for  the 
reunions  in  June.  Listed  under  the  Dix 
plan  of  reunions,  adopted  some  eight  years 
ago,  are  twenty-one  classes.  Experience 
should  have  taught  the  older  classes  that 
these  events  is 
the  time  to  prepare  for 
several  months  before 
to 
occur.  Many  who  have  planned  trips  in 
the  college  can

the  occasion  and  others  need

alumni  office  to  send  out  insofar  as  it  is 
individual 
capable,  but  the  work  of 
classes  must  be  carried  on  by  them  as  the 
activities  of  the  M.  A.  C.  Association  are 
necessarily  confined  to  the  general  organi 
zation  and  such  aid  as  it  can  give  to  the 
various  groups.

For  the  first  time  since  1913  the  five 
latest  classes  will  be  scheduled 
to  meet 
for  Alumni  Day.  On  June  14,  '19, .'20, '21, 
'22,  '23  will  gather  on  the  campus.  The 
few  years  which  have  passed  since  they 
completed  their  work  should  allow  them 
to  come  back  with  undimmed  memories  of 
their  days  at  M.  A.  C.  • With  ten  years

scattered  but 
several  have  already  stated  that  they  would 
make  the  trip  this  year  in  spite  of  ob 
stacles  which  have  .appeared  and  stopped 
them  heretofore. 

Its  members  are 

In  the  case  of  '09  there  is  little  to  indi 
cate  that  it  will  not  be  back  in  force.  At 
the  time  of  the  concert  by  Mary  Allen  in 
jMay  of  last  year  enough  of  her  former 
classmates  gathered  at  East  Lansing  for 
the  event  to  indicate  that  the  members  of 
the  class  have  lost  none  of  their  interest  in 
their  old  friends.  A  notable 
four-year 
group,  will  assemble  when  '01,  '02,  '03,  and 
'04  meet.  This  list  has  gone  in  for  poli 
tics  and  had  two  of  its  members  in  the 
State  senate  last  year,  that  should  augur 

well  for  a  good  return  because  election  is 
not  so  far  off.  The  others  are  noted  for 
their  ability  to  gather  the  clan  when  they 
find  it  advisable. 

One  of  the  first  reunion  classes  to  start 
on  its  program  is  '99.  During  the  fall  a 
fair  sized  representation  met  on  the  cam 
pus  and  laid  plans  for  the  event.  Since 
that  time  a  list  of  members  has  been  com 
piled  and  work  started  on  rounding  up 
the  delinquents  who  failed 
to  appear  at 
Homecoming.  After 
thirty  years  out  in 
the  world  '94  will  return  to  the  campus  and 
with  it  will  come  '89.  Both  of  these  are 
noted  for  their  loyalty  to  M.  A.  C. 
In 
the  list  of  eighties  there  are  '82,  '83,  '84, 
'85,  all  scheduled  to  renew  acquaintances 
among  students  and  faculty  of  their  time 
as  well  as  to  increase  their  regard  for  the 
college  by  viewing  some  of  the  progress  it 
has  made  since  their  time. 

Three  more  anniversary  classes  are  list 
ed  for  meetings.  They  are  '69,  '74,  '79, 
many  of  whom  are  the  most  consistent  of 
alumni  in  attending  reunions.  A  special 
program  will  be  arranged  for  Alumni  Day, 
taking  into  account  the  importance  of  the 
occasion,  marking  as  it  will  the  greatest 
material  expansion 
the  college  has  wit 
nessed  in  a  similar  period  of  years.  At 
that  time  enough  of  the  improvements  will 
have  been  completed  to  show  something  of 
the  magnitude  of  the  changes. 

in 

Life  on  the  campus  may  seem  tame  now 
to  what  the  old-timer  sees 
retrospect 
but  there  are  certain  compensations  for  this 
state  of  affairs.  For  instance  besides  a 
variety  of  rifle  teams  beguiling  their  time 
by  attempting  to  mutilate  targets  a  pistol 
shooting  competition  has  been 
started 
which  promises  to  contribute  an  unusually 
heavy  portion  of  the  noise  associated  with 
the  dormitories  of  by-gone  days.

Dean  Kedzie  of  the  applied  science  di

students  in  the  lower  three  classes  in  his

BAND, GLEE  CLUB, 

SCHEDULING  TOUR 

A  combined  band  and  glee  club  trip  is 
again  on  the  schedule  for  these  two  or 
ganizations  during  the  spring  vacation.  A 
shortage  of  time  will  necessitate  a  shorter 
itinerary  than  was  undertaken  last  spring 
and  it  has  been  decided  to  go  toward  the 
southern  and  western  part  of  the  state  in 
stead  of  north  and  east  from  the  college 
as  has  been  the  case  for  some  years. 

Since  last  year  both  combinations  have

A  number  of  special  entertainers  have

been  devoting 
parts  and  the  glee  club  and  band  are  both 
improved,  according  to  Professors  Clark 
and  Taylor  who  have  their 
in 
charge.  Several  new  features  will  be  in 
troduced,  including  costumes  for  the  glee 
club  and  special  stage  drapes  to  accompany 
the  troupe. 

training 

It  is  planned  to  send  the  organizations  to 
Jackson,  Battle  Creek, 
Grand  Rapids, 
Kalamazoo  and  possibly  one  or  two  other 
places  in  the  course  of  the  short  vacation 
but  the  exact  trip  will  depend  upon  the 
support  promised  and  the  facilities  availa 
ble.  The  band  usually  carries  about  fifty 
men  and  the  glee  club  needs  eighteen.  The 
trip  last  year  was  successful  financially  and 
in  the  experience  the  men  received  and  it 
is  expected  that  by  altering  the  trip  enough 
to  touch  new  territory  it  will  again  prove 
satisfactory. 

Alumni  interested  in  having  the  organi 
zations  visit  their  cities  should  communi 
cate  with  Professor  A.  J.  Clark  or  Pro 
fessor  J.  S.  Taylor. 

STUDENTS  PLANNING 

TO  LIMIT  ACTIVITIES 

to  keep  one  man 

A  movement  which  has  been  underway 
for  some  time  promises  to  bear  fruit  soon 
when  a  student  council  committee  will  re 
port  on  a  point  system  for  campus  activi 
ties,  designed 
from 
shouldering  so  much  responsibility  that  he 
cannot  do  justice  to  it  all.  It  will  also  tend 
to  enlarge  the  field  of  those  available  for 
important  wrork  by  giving  a  larger  number 
of  men  a  chance  to  hold  campus  positions. 
Popularity  of  an  individual  has  often  gov 
erned  his  choice  without  much  regard  to 
his  ability  or  to  the  demands  upon  his  time. 
It  is  expected  that  a  system  of  this  sort 
would  prevent  the  popular  man  from  be 
ing  loaded  down  with  honors  while  his  less 
known  but  better  fitted  classmate  has  no 
part  in  the  general  tasks  of  the  college. 
The  co-eds  have  already  adopted  a  simi
