Dr. Butterfield (also president of the American Country Life associa tion) and Dean Burnett, of Ne braska (president of the Associa tion of Land-Grant Colleges), gave talks on this subject. Dr. Butter- field stressed two points of rural life need: greater economic eftec- tivenss, and the maintenance of the quality of the life of the people. He said that the burden of raising rur al standards must not be borne en tirely by the farmer. He remnided farther us that standards of living are not necessarily natural consequences of prosperity; that the existing condi tions a re largely due to t he speed in the development of urban indus t r y; that we must go in both economics and research; and type of assistance much- that a needed by the farmer is in organi zation, especially in the making of state and county programs. This means applying methods used by and by business men. scientists The work training farmers, teachers, and country preachers for leadership must go on, as well as the ''adult education" or "continu ing"' farmers themselves. education of the of that Dean Burnett, of Nebraska, dis cussed the next step for the agri the cultural colleges, saying point of view has changed. It was formerly thought that development of technology was most important, now it is essential that we have a broader point of view. T he col leges need to recognize the many opportunities for the man who has a broad grasp of world conditions* They should reorganize on a larg er plan; should get contact with the "big business'' of farming. Cul tural and broader subjects should be stressed to a greater degree so that studnts can get biggr con tacts. Dean Burnett prophecies that this will result in contact with new and larger groups and will put the agricultural college in a more responsible to the public than heretofore. He mentioned the conferences bankers' being held in various localities as an example of the new move. agricultural relation It was with deep regret that the members larned that Dick J. Cros by, '93, one of the charter members of this association, had passed away at his home in Ithaca.

Though pre-season basketball training had been under way for several weeks Coach Van Alstyne found that most of the really good men upon whom he must depend were men from the gridiron squad. W i th about a hilf dozen practices after football season, under a new system and a new coach the team was against Adrian. They emerged on the larg er end of a 29 to 33 score but only after a close call. In the practice season tilt with the University the Spartans were smothered by a over into action thrown head attack to the tune of 13 and 34- Van Alstyne finds the team lack the ing in two major points of game. Because no outstanding cen ter material is available State can not control the tip off.

At each Intercollegiate Alumni Hotel there will be maintained a card index of the names of all the resident alumni of all the participating institutions. This will be of especial benefit to traveling alumni in locating classmates and friends. The current issues of the alumni publications of all the participating institutions will be on file at each Intercollegiate Alumni Hotel. Reservation cards will be available at the clerk's desk in each des ignated hotel and at the alumni office in each college or university. These reservation cards will serve as a great convenience to travel lers in securing advance accommodations. The managers of all Intercollegiate Alumni Hotels are prepared to cooperate w i th individual alumni to the fullest extent and are also prepared to assist in the creation of new local alumni associations and in the development and extension of the activities of those already formed.
