While everyone appreciates sentiment of the college in those who attended the early days, 1 feel that educational conditions have changed to warrant a new name which will meet these new conditions. Just one instance of what I have met. In 1919 and 1920 I attended the Ordnance De partment Engineering School. There were offi cers in my class from Harvard, Boston Tech., California, Minnesota, Ohio State, University of Chicago and the Military Academy at West Point. My engineering preparation, I think, com pared most favorably with any of the others. One day the instructor in mathematics and electricity, who was from Princeton and an able man in those subjects, said to me, "What school are you from, Campbell?" I answered, "The Michigan Agri cultural College." "But I thought you were an "I am." "Well, who ever engineering graduate." heard of an engineer from an agricultural col lege?"

Michigan State College is the best name because the case is similar to that in Pennsylvania and other states. is very well, but All the discussion it doesn't get action. Who has the authority to change the name and how is that authority to be persuaded to take action ? I have not yet seen that point discussed.
