a  BL S.  degree. 
In  1883  he  married

Mr.  P r u d d en  has  written  the  fol 
lowing  appreciation: 

It  was  the  native  beauty  of 

this 
campus  that  decided  the  mother  of 
William  K.  Prudden,  a  resident  of 
Indianapolis, 
to  enter  her  son  as 
a  freshman  at  this  "farmers'  col 
lege"  in  the  spring  of  1875.  My 
first 
impressions  of  William  were 
gained  watching  a  lithe,  wiry  boy 
"nailing"  everything  that  came  his 
way  in  center  field  during  an  excit

Carrying  three  subjects

morning  and  working  on  the  farm 
or  garden  from  1  to  4  in  the  after 
noon  did  not  exhaust  the  energies 
of  this  student  of  that  period.  Phy 
sical  training  was  an  unknown  as 
signment.  Active  sports  were  daily 
indulged  in  by  those  so 
inclined, 
and  baseball  was  his  major  sport. 
Each  of 
the  four  classes  usually 
maintained  a  ball  tern.  While  W.

coached 
by  the  players  and  their  friends. 

Mr.  P r u d d en  was  an  excellent

After  graduating  he  engaged 

in 
buying  and  selling  mineral 
and 
timber  lands  in  the  upper  peninsula. 
He  meawhile  married  one  of  Lan 
sing's  finest  and  most 
attractive 
young  women,  Miss  Whitney,  and 
moved  to  Indianapolis.  H is  love  of 
sport  brought  him  back  to  Lansing 

to  engage  in  the  breeding  and  rac 
ing  of  fine  horses.  He  drove  his 
own  horses  in  many  contests.

closing  of

and  the  failure  of  the  wheel  com 
pany.  He  next  engaged  in  putting 
rubber-tired  wheels  on  the  market 
in  Chicago  and  later  made  wheels

MAIN  FEATURES OF THE  INTERCOLLEGIATE 
ALUMNI HOTEL MOVEMENT 

Interested  alumni  can  secure  from  a  clerk  at  the  desk  of  each  Inter 
collegiate  Alumni  Hotel  an  information  leaflet  which  describes  in 
detail  the  Intercollegiate  Alumni  Hotel  movement. 

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  with  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.
