Provision has been made by the Col lege for a start on engineering extension work which may be developed along lines somewhat similar to those so successfully pursued in agriculture. Merely a begin- ing has been possible because of a lack of funds for that work but there is no rea son why it should not expand rapidly. F or a state institution to take education to the worker is an ideal to be encouraged.

It might be more to the point to ask, where do these theorists get the idea that in the life of an individual there is such a factor as college spirit. learning. An Alumnus is a person (either masculine or feminine, according to the most recent interpretation) who has received a degree from an institution of higher It may be one of the various academic appendages conferred by the faculty or it may be an in dividual appellation presented by his classmates before the College In made up its mind t h at he was eligible for the regulation honor. any case .An Alumnus the is one who has extracted something from atmosphere of a college which is not absorbed by the one who merely lives in a college town. One entitled to this distinction has qualifica tions other than those necessary to win the approval of the faculty and outstanding among these is college spirit. This prolongs the argument, for college spirit is a much abused term. The true nature of the ailment has never been definitely de cided, it is an infection which causes the heart to palpitate, an ir resistible force which brings the victim to his feet when Alma Mater is played or sung, a chronic inflammation which had its inception when the alumnus was yet an unclergrad and walked across the Campus on a bright spring clay or waded through the snowdrifts after a January storm. More than this it exerts a mysterious influence which in later years draws the important events of college days into focus, sorting out individuals and occasions but blending the whole into a tapestry woven from fondest memories. It constitutes—and draws to itself strength—the bonds which draw the graduate to his alma mater. There are some three thousand of these peculiar individuals who read The M. S. C.
