The Alumnae Council met March 24 at the Woman's building for dinner, 30 wom en were present. Mrs. Chloe Goodrich Carpenter, chairman of the council, intro duced Mrs. Louise Campbell, Miss Jean Krueger, and Miss Kendrick. Miss Ken- drick, who is president of the local chap ter of the American Association of Uni versity Women, explained the method by which M. A. C. women may become eligible for membership in that association, and urged the Alumnae Council to under take the task. The meeting then adjourned to the Prac tice House where the members were re ceived by Miss Gross and shown about the house. A business meeting was then held. The new Board of Directors is to be composed of a representative of each society alumnae organization and an independent member. The following organizations have report ed, Alpha Phi, Eva Britten Clark; Themian, Mrs. Shoesmith; Sororian, Helen Perrin; Sesame, Fannie Rogers Stewart; Letonian, Lou Butler; Independent, Thelma Haite. The others have not been heard from. Mrs. Lenora Van Halteren was elected chairman, and Lou Butler, secretary and treasurer. It was decided that the Alumnae Council should undertake the task of having M. A. C. placed on the list of accredited col leges so that her alumnae will be eligible to membership in the A. A. U. W. A com mittee is to be appointed for this purpose. A committee was appointed to draft two resolutions: One voicing an approval of the efficient manner in which Acting President Shaw has conducted his administration; the other expressing our desire to see the name of the. college changed to one more representative of the work being done.

This scale attacks prac tically all of the evergreens and has become quite thick on many of the white pines in this locality. The entomology department became interested in its control and fur nished the spray and directed the work. While the scale does not seriously injure the trees it was desired to clean them up before shipping. The forestry department says that over fifty thousand trees were sprayed and hopes to have these trees for sale next year. A number of different sprays were used. Page Six The M. A. C.

Alumni Opinion Editor of THE; RECORD: I would like to add my bit to the dis cussion on the name question. I think the name Michigan State Uni the versity the most appropriate one for following reasons: First, the addition of new courses of study and improved educa tional facilities has put M. A. C. out of the college class and into the university class. Second, the word Michigan must be used, since at present the school is prin cipally a state institution, even though it does come under the Land Grant act. Third, some distinguishing term must be used, to differentiate between the Univer sity of Michigan. I think Michigan State University satisfies .this requirement to the nth degree, as Professor Plant would say. I notice considerable discussion in THE; RECORD of late concerning how to get a I can't larger enrollment for next fall. tell you how to do it this year, but 1925 might be helped greatly if efforts were made to bring the 1924 football team up to its gone-but-not-forgotten standards of the days when Macklin was coach. What seems to be the trouble? If it's coaching that ought to be easy to remedy, and if it's players that are lacking why not build up a team like Colgate, W. & J., and some of the other schools do. To change the subject, I had the pleasure on March 27 of hearing the announcer say "This is station WKAR, Michigan Agri I heard him introduce cultural College." W. E. Reddy and his talk on barberry eradication and then I rung off because static conditions were so bad. At that, though, WKAR came in louder than W WJ (Detroit News). I'm the proud possessor of a five tube neutrodyne set and now that I know the setting can tune in any time. Have been here since November 15th and can say this much for Wheeling, have seen more M. A.

Record NEW COURSES OFFER LIBERAL CHOICE Arts and Science Curricula Presen t Broad Choice for Future Students. This article deals with the general cours es now available to M. A. C. students. It is the second of a series on the opportuni ties offered by the College. Graduate work in the Liberal A r ts di vision leading to an M.A. degree is also provided for, according to recent action by the State Board. T he recent establishment of the Liberal A r ts course at the College, leading to A.B. and M.

During freedom the freshman year a considerable of choice of subjects is permitted. F o ur courses of four hours each per term are is the only called for, of which English required subject, the others being chosen from botany, chemistry, drawing and de sign, French, German, history, mathe list matics, zoology and music. To is added in the sophomore year, physics, geology, bacteriology, entomology, physi ology and economics. this In the junior and senior years, major subjects are chosen from the following list: English, economics, drawing and design, music, history and political science, mathe matics, modern sociology, while minor subjects may be chosen from the courses permitted during the sopho more year, with the addition of education, physical training and military science. language, and T he purpose of the Applied Science course is stated as follows in the College catalog: "The aim of this course is to give training in one or more fundamental sci ences whose applications the basis of scientific agriculture, engineering, home lines of work. An economics and other attempt a broad view of science in general, provid ing at the same time an opportunity to take such other subjects as will fit him to be come an efficient citizen." is made to give student lie at the for major Subjects available in study to this division, in which from one-third one-half of the college work must be taken during the junior and senior years, include bacteriology, botany, chemistry, drawing and design, economics, English, entomol ogy, history and political science, mathe matics, physics and zoology. A large list of courses available as minor or elective subjects makes this division a very attrac tive one for students desiring either highly technical training in particular sciences, or a general and comprehensve education of a broadly scientific character. With the opportunity of offering courses as liberal in character as the two described, alumni have a distinct advantage now over previous years in placing the appeal of their alma mater before prospective col lege students. in easy Michigan defeated tennis the varsity team fashion at Ann Arbor on May 3.

Record Page Thirteen For the man beyond the campus FIFTEEN YEARS AGO Joseph French Johnson, who was, and is, Dean of the School of Commerce, Accounts and Finance of New York University, found himself faced with a problem to which there was no satisfactory answer. He was constantly in receipt of letters from business men, many of them occupying places of executive responsibility. The letters asked such questions as these: "What books shall I read?" "Can you lay out for me a course in business economics?" " How can I broaden my knowledge of salesmanship, or accounting, or factory management, advertising or corporation finance?" Those were pioneer days in the teaching of Business. Dean Johnson, wishing to help, yet feeling keenly the lack of suitable facilities conceived the plan of a faculty including both college teachers and business men, and a Course so arrange;! that any man might master it in his own home. Thus began the Alexander Hamilton Institute. Dean Johnson has continued as its President; its Advisory Council includes these men: D E X T ER S. KIMBALL, Dean of the Engineering Colleges, Cor nell University; JOSEPH FRENCH JOHNSON, Dean of the New York University School of Commerce; G E N E R AL COLEMAN DUPONT, the well-known business executive; PERCY H. JOHNSTON, Presi dent of the Chemical National Bank of New York ; J O HN HAYS HAMMOND, t he eminent engineer; F R E D E R I CK H. H C R D M A N, Certified Public Accountant; JEREMIAH \V. J E N K S, the statis tician and economist. To young men of college age, the Institute says: "Matric ulate at a college or university if you possibly can; there is no substitute for the teacher." To older men, the universi ties and colleges, in turn, are constantly recommending the Modern Business Course of the Institute. It is a Course for the man beyond the campus ; the man THESE COLLEGES and uni- -*• versities, and 80 others, have used parts of the Alexander Ham ilton classroom work.
