In 1913 President Wilson appointed him a member of the American Commission on Rural Credits, which made a study of agri cultural credit and cooperation in Europe. In the winter of 1917 he was appointed by the governor of Massachusetts as chairman of the sub-committee on food supply for that state. In 1918 he was chosen by the International Y. M. C. A. to take charge of its education program among .the forces in France. For this service he was decor ated by the French government. In 1921 he was appointed as an expert on vocational education to visit China and study her edu cational needs for the Association of For eign Mission Boards of America. the college, editor of Dr. Butterfield was raised on a farm at Lapeer, Mich., and worked his way through M.

From 1891 to 1900 he served successively as assistant secretary of the Michigan Grange Visitor, editor of the Grange de partment of The Michigan Farmer, super intendent of farmers' institutes, and field agent of the College. For the following two years he studied economics and rural sociology at the University of Michigan and was granted the degree of Master of Arts in 1902. He taught sociology for a year at the university and then was elected Kenyon L. Butterfield cess as president of Rhode Island State college amply justified the trustees in se lecting him.. The wisdom of their choice early manifested itself; his eminent suc cess as an administrator, and his aggressive leadership in educational and rural affairs have placed the college in a position of pub lic esteem and confidence never before en joyed.

F r om the time he accepted the presidency at Massachusetts until his recent resigna tion the institution underwent a marked growth, doubling in numbers of students increasing its physical equip and greatly ment and staff. Changes were made in the organization of the college, divisions added and the work coordinated. President Butterfield was one of the first agricultural leaders of the country to advocate the organization of what is now known as extension service in agriculture and home economics, Massachusetts was one of the first institutions to develop this work under the supervision of a director. He short course program and stimulated graduate study. Recent appropriations have allowed the beginnings of a home economics div ision. strengthened and revised the The educational policy which has guided him in developing the academic work of the institution has been that of a liberal ized occupational training. He has been responsible for the legislative program of the college and has followed the policy of arguing his case solely on its merits. rigidly in In his relation to student affairs he has the policy of tolerance, of con followed fidence the quality and efficiency of student leadership, and of placing the re sponsibility on those closest to the problem. Many an embarrasing situation has been avoided by his sense of humor, his under standing of the student attitude and his tol erance of harmless pranks. He came to the institution with the con viction that athletics have an educational value; that if this value is not a real one and recognized as such, athletics have no place in a college p r o g r a m; but if they are to exist on the justification of their educa tional value, the ultimate control of the college authorities. He held the same view for non-athletic activities as for athletics and established the principle that if time were to be given by the students to publications, musical or ganizations, dramatics, debating, and simi lar enterprises, their policies should be de they should be under termined by a board and their activities supervised by a member of the staff.

It was through his efforts that provisions were made for a course in religious education. F or twenty-five years Dr. Butterfield has been recognized as one of the outstanding leaders and prophets in the field of rural affairs. He was one of the first to state that the problem of the farmer was not a problem of production but that it was quite as much a problem of distribution. He this principle with the argument followed is essentially a rural problem the that human problem; and in recent years he has been the first to define the scope of the agricultural colleges as comprising the en tire field of food supply including product ion, distribution, consumption and preser vation. He was the first to teach rural sociology as a separate recognized subject and the to establish rural sociology and agri first cultural education on an independent de partmental basis within a college. He was one of the first to advocate the idea of local rural community organization and or ganized the first one to employ a "com munity adviser." He organized the Am erican Country Life association and has since been its president.

A ten year period follow ing graduation he spent in farm organization and publication work, since that time he has gone far afield and achieved the nation and the world on agricultural and educational problems. F or eighteen years he has been the president of the Massachu setts Agricultural college and has seen it grow to double the size it was when he was placed in charge. the counsels of fame in He returns to M. A. C. as president at an auspicious time. F or the past year the affairs of the College have been guided by a steady hand, its policies have been shaped along progressive lines, its forces have been coordinated, its curricula have been ex panded until the seeker for education can find at M. A. C. what he most desires, students, alumni, faculty have been brought together in support of the program for a more efficient institution of wider influence. T he stage is set for a movement toward the goal of the College. the Dr. Butterfield's experience and the faith of those with whom he has worked indi cate that he is capable of leading onward the forces which have been set in motion. As a scientist he ranks high in the estima tion of leaders, as an educator his selection on important commissions deal ing with the problems of imparting know ledge mark his calibre, as an administrator schooled of college affairs he has been amid surroundings which do not permit the survival of the person who merely "holds his job", as a citizen he has been active in local governmental affairs, all of which rounded character necesary for the man who is to guide the destinies of the College. to produce the well tend is the active cooperation of all elements full support no one necessary.

A. C. Record Page Nine ENGINEERING TRAINING OF HIGH TYPE Variety of Courses Available for Man Wishing Technical Education. Following is the fourth of a series of articles setting forth the advantages of the various courses offered by the College. That the opportunities presented to those trained along engineering lines are very attractive, in these days of constant indust rial expansion and unparalleled introduct ions of new inventions and labor-saving devices, is the opinion of leaders in en gineering circles the country over. The courses offered in the engineering division at M. A. C. are rmarkably com prehensive, both in the scope of the funda mental training given and in the degree of specialization along various lines which is permitted. The courses are designed to provide, in the language of the official catalog, "a knowledge of the fundamental principles of the sciences which are the basis of engin eering practice, a training of the senses in accurate habits of observation, of the mind towards logical deductions from observed approved facts, methods of draughting and computing for experimental work on engineering prob lems, in speech and in writing, and a true concept of the duties and privileges of the engineer as a citizen and as a member of his pro- fesssion." the art of correct expression an acquaintance with All engineering students take a prescrib ed course to the end of the freshman year, including courses in chemistry, drawing, English, mathematics, shop-work, military science and physical education. From this point a certain degree of election of technical and professional stud ies permits students to follow individual inclinations toward specialized lines of en gineering work. Engineering chemistry, civil engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering and engineering ad ministration are the titles of the specialized courses, each of which prepares the student for entering upon his profession after grad uation with a thorough training and an ad equate foundation for attacking the new technical problems which he will encounter in the pursuit of his profession. that The engineering administration course, latest to be established is designed to meet the requirements of students who, in addi tion to a natural aptitude and liking for en gineering careers, feel the business side of the engineering industries has a stronger appeal than the technical side, and who sense in themselves the business, ex ecutive or administrative ability which could be developed by a college course dif fering from the usual type of engineering course. In the advanced technical and professional subjects are elim inated, and a series of subjects in economics as related to the engineering industries are substituted. Included are courses in el ementary economics, accounting, banking, business law, transportation, statistics, in dustrial management, industrial relations, industrial history, corporation finance, con tracts and and business specifications, cycles. this course some of Non-resident inspection lecturers and trips to engineering and manufacturing centers are provided together with the class room and laboratory work, serving to con nect the students with engineering practice and spirit. Proffessional degrees are offered in this division, and may be received upon completion of the required advanced study and compliance with certain regulations. The R. E- Olds hall of engineering, con structed of brick and stone and enclosing about 40,000 square feet of useful floor space, exclusive of corridors, is used solely the the engineering division. Three competely equipped shops, one for wood working, a machine shop, and a foundry and forge shop are also included in the equipment of the engineering div ision. To the prospective student who has a leaning toward a career along industrial or mechanical lines, the JVI. A. C. engineer ing course may be unreservedly recom mended, Page Ten The M. A. C.

However, June 14 should be one of the best of the year and to that end preparations are being made for a record crowd. There is still no certainty that the alumni luncheon on that day will be held in the Union Memorial building but the contractor is applying his efforts to that end and has given assurance that the task is not an impossible one. In case the luncheon cannot be held in the new struct ure it will follow the custom of previous years and be held in the gymnasium. to attend.. this part of the program T he ceremony for the cornerstone-laying also presents an unusual problem. The brick house on Faculty Row formerly oc cupied by Professor Taft is so close to the that scene for some difficulty will be found in getting the crowd close enough to see the actual work done. T he speaker will be presented on a platform on the south side of the building where there will be enough room for all who want Joseph B. Cotton, '86, will be the main attraction on this list. •Invitations have also been extended to others active in the work on the fund and to a representative of the architects, Pond and Pond, of Chicago, who designed the building and have supervision over its con struction. The actual work of laying the stone will be performed by men who have been supporters of the movement from its inception. Music will be supplied by a band. There is a possibility that provis ions can be made to keep the College band over for to It have a short military ceremony in honor of the men in whose memory the building is being erected. This event is scheduled to the start at 2130 o'clock, shortly after luncheon program is concluded. is also planned the day. In the evening the president's reception and alumni dacne will be held in the gym nasium starting at 8 o'clock. T he dinner hour has been set aside for class functions. Several of the classes have arranged din- ners and reunion meetings at this time. In the morning there will be a general oppor the new buildings, now tunity to inspect practically completed, and look over the de tails of the Union Memorial building, work on which will be suspended for the day. Also in the morning the annual meeting of the executive committee of the M. A. C. Association will be held in the alumni office. In case the weather is fair it is planned registering will be for that opportunities offered alumni near the entrance to the new Union building. In any case the alumni offices at 3 Facultuy Row will be open and registration can be handled there. It was decided at the recent meeting of the execu tive committee that, there would be no gen eral appeals for funds on June 14. Oppor tunities will be presented for pledging to the fund but no special effort will be made to draw the building the financial needs of to the attention of the enire group. It is planned for a short that attend he will should President the address Butterfield luncheon meeting time but there will be no lengthy formal program of speeches to interfere with the luncheon hour. The secretary's report and that of the treasurer will be printed and distributed instead of having them read, thus adding to the amount of information that is given out and doing away with a hitherto tedious part of the program. All of these reports will be made as of June 1 instead of the day previous to the meeting as has been customary information may be uniform each year and correspond to the monthly financial reports compiled for the treasurer. in order that the the alumni office and near Rain or shine, registration will be possible at the new If good weather permits Union building. there will be an opportunity for all alumni to sign cards with their addresses and oc It cupations listed at the Union building. in these be made out is order that addresses on file may be checked Luncheon over and mistakes corrected. important that The M.

A box lunch will be prepared for each one attending and this lunch will be given out on receipt of the ticket. Coffee, iced tea and ice cream will be served at the tables. On past occasions of this sort several methods of serving have been tried out and all have been more or less unsatisfactory. An attempt to serve a hot lunch has invariably resulted in its be ing served cold and cold lunches have been lukewarm with the attendant discomfort of an absolute inability to insure adequate service. It is hoped that the plan this year will meet with more general approval and will result in a reduction of the overhead expense always attached to a venture where large numbers of waiters must be employed and where conditions are such that no facilities are available to handle the crowd which always attends the luncheon. If the Union Memorial building is used it will be the untrimmed interior with con crete floor and ceiling which will greet the alumni but it should serve as a general indication of the final use to which the structure will be put. the The forestry department announces that the summer forestry camp will be held this year on the lands of Johannesburg Manufacturing company at Johannesburg. the This is the same tract upon which school was held last year but the location has been changed. Last year the camp was located about three miles from Johannes burg. This year the students will board at the hotel in Johannesburg, arrangements having been made making this possible at practically the same cost per man as last year. This location is thought to be very desirable as it is close to the sawmill and to the woods and is also near a swimming pool and baseball field. The students will have the use of the club rooms for their office work and drafting. The usual courses in forest mensuration and lumber ing will be given. NEW QUARTERS CHOSEN FOR MUSIC DEPARTMENT It is probable that the music department will be housed in the old post office build ing and the brick house at No. 7 Faculty Row for several years occupied by the pro fessor of English. It is contemplated that the postoffice building will be moved to the east side of the old entrance to the campus in the approximate location of the old wait ing station, placing the two structures close together to make them available for the use of the department.
