Frank Gulley, ' 8 0, Gives Miles Memorial Address At ratriarc hs Al umni Day Luncheon T HE University of Michigan opened at A nn Arbor in 1841; Michigan Agricultural college, at w h at became East L a n sing, in 1855. Both institutions established a high s t a n d a rd with able men. They were pioneers a nd leaders in t he middle a nd west ern states. They were financed with appropriations made by t he state. Other agricultural colleges, some of t h em d e p a r t ments of universities, were not opened until t he Land G r a nt F u nd appropriated by Congress in 1862 became available. A few wise leaders forseeing t h at farming would be t he impor t a nt industry in t he country for years, felt it should have all the aid applied science could give to it. T he agricultural college does not owe its existence to any general demand for t he farmers. When we were boys t he u t most contempt t h at one farmer could express for another was to call h im a "book farmer". F a r m i ng h ad to be learned between t he plow handles, caring for t he livestock, actual work. T he three hours a day work systsm at M. A. C. led m a ny farmers to hope some good might come from t he college training. At t he University, t he professors of t he law a nd medical d e p a r t m e n ts were m en w ho h ad attained or later a c quired national reputations, and t he same m ay be said of t he M. A. C. professors. Our College opened just before t he outbreak of t he Civil War. T he country was upset, m a ny students enlisted, while having good m en in t he faculty it c an hardly be said to have laid its real foundation a nd established its future policies until about 1863. I P R O P O SE to speak, not of t he entire faculty, but of four professors in t he faculty who h ad most to do with making this a college of science applied to agriculture, i ts leading feature. There were other professors t h en a nd earlier, equally good in their specialties, but I refer to t he actual agricultural teachers. Dr. Manly Miles, who came to t he College in 1861, served until 1875; Dr. R. C. Kedzie, 1863 until 1902; Professor A. J. Cook, 1867 to 1893; a nd Dr. William J. Beal, 1870 to 1910. President Abbot came to t he College as a professor in 1858, served as president from 1862 to 1884. He was n ot a scien tist, nor particularly interested in agriculture, but h e a rt a nd soul enlisted in t he success of t he College a nd t he develop ment of its students. He h ad at all times a friendly smile a nd pleasant word for everyone. He was respected a nd liked by all students a nd was an inspiration to them. President Abbot possessed one faculty essential to t he successful head of a ny organization, educational, m a n u f a c t u r ing, or commercial. Andrew Carnegie expresed it when he said he owed his success to his being able "to select t he right men for helpers, make t h em feel free to act. hold t h em r e sponsible for results, a nd t u rn loose, not interfere so long as they followed t he general policies of t he organization". Dr. Abbot did just t h a t. He h ad confidence in his professors, did not a t t e m pt to direct their work or interfere with it. They did not always agree on certain policies. As I saw them, the president showed t he greater respect for t he abilities to handle their several departments t h an they h ad for h im as general manager. They were positive men, he h ad to be concil iatory with t he public, legislature, students, a nd professors. College professors often have w h at Woodrow Wilson admitted t h em (Editor's Note: The annual Patriach's banquet held on Alumni Day, when more than 45 men and women were guests of Dr. Frank S.

They are specialists. T he four professors were alike in some ways, specially able t e a c h ers, deeply interested in their work, in their students, a nd highly respected by students, but they differed in personality. Dr. Kedzie, positive, aggressive, a yes a nd no m a n, never assuming. He was a h a rd student, well read, up with t he times. He did not seek popularity b ut he became well known through his work outside of t he College. Professor Cook, always enthusiastic a nd popular with stu leav dents, continued his splendid work in California after ing M. A. C. Dr. Beal, well grounded in his specialty, easy to approach, interested as a teacher a nd inclined to be friendly with every one. He was a Quaker. Took an active p a rt in t he Lansing farmers grange, induced me to join a nd I often went with him to a t t e nd t he meetings. T he Doctor wanted to come in contact with farmers a nd their families. Time will n ot per mit further discussion of these men. D OCTOR Miles, whose memory we meet today to commem orate, differed in type. He was somewhat of a recluse, a lone chamber student, with no desire to be popular, yet friend ly with all a nd particularly so with students who showed i n terest in their work. He was in advance of t he time. I don't think farmers of t h at dav understood or appreciated his abil ity. Being myself more interested in t he agricultural d e p a r t ment, Dr. Miles personally, a nd his work, t h an in other p r o fessors of t he College, I feel more indebted to his influence in t he line I followed later t h an to any other member of t he faculty. Dr. Miles was a student of agriculture in a broad sense, familiar with w h at h ad been developed in Europe as well as here, conversant with t he work of Baron Von Liebeng in Germany, of Laws a nd Gilbert in England, t h at began in 1835. In his lectures t he Doctor often referred to t he latter. His theories a nd talks were to a considerable extent based on the investigations of t he noted G e r m an chemist a nd t he experi- Page 6 Michigan State College Record mental work of Laws and Gilbert. At t h at time, they led the advance in science applied to agriculture. I think Dr. Miles held the broad view t h at the study of agriculture cluded the laws of n a t u re a nd all t he sciences. in DR. Miles did not introduce or foster any particular sys tem or line of farming in this country, unless it may be t he rotation of crops. He stressed t h at and his book on stock breeding a nd his lectures decidedly advocated the use of sel ected pure bred stock to improve t he herds of t he country. The Doctor seemingly was not so m u ch interested in t he in dividual farmer as in building t he industry as a whole. He put in practice on the college farm a rotation of crops a nd other principles of practical agriculture which later became more or less general in the country. just w h at Empiric m e a nt b ut I recall the first time we met Dr. Miles in his class room. He came in. spread out his notes, began with t he statement, I doubt if a ny student in "Agriculture is an 'Empiric Art' ". t he class knew the Doctor it as having some distinct spoke so earnestly we accepted meaning. Now the Doctor was not given to the use of unfam iliar words lectures or in his in conversation, and if he h ad said t h at agriculture is a sort of cut a nd try proposition, we would not have been bothered. However, later consulting our dictionaries, we found t he word covered the ground complete ly. This opening statement of t he Doctor's is all I can recall lecture. The Doc of that first tor's talks were always interest ing. He gave us a conception of t h at called for the highest mental effort, not mere plodding work. His lectures on the develop m e nt of the breeds of livestock, the improvement of farm crops, adding t he soil, drainage, were always en tertaining as well as instructive. DR. F. S. KEDZIE —was a most genial host to the Patriarchs on Alum ni Day. farming as a pursuit the fertility of to He enlarged our vision a nd made a strong appeal to our a m bition. He enlivened his lectures with an occasional story. One I remember was of a canny old Scotch farmer calling on Baron Von Liebeng who told him he was going to make a commercial fertilizer of such potency t h at a m an could carry land. enough of it in one vest pocket to enrich an acre of "Yes", replied the Scot, "and he can carry off the crop in the ither pocket"'. THE application of science to agriculture h as made great progress since Dr. Miles' time, especially chemical science. I believe t h at no other m an in the country has gone so far afield in grasping t he possible future of this development. It is deplorable t h at t he Doctor's work here could n ot have con I fully agree with t he late President Snyder, who tinued. stated on several occasions t h at t he loss to t he College of Dr. Miles' services for t he last twTenty years of his life was t he greatest in its history. Dr. Miles was not of the assertive, ob stinate kind, h a rd to get along with. He h ad no desire to r un things, he was loyal to his work, would not degrade it to suit t he whims of unqualified authority. In"those early days of the College the influence of its fac ulty was shown in t he very large proportion of its graduates who became prominent in educational work. Some returned to their homes into other colleges to carry on t he work of their Alma Mater, into t he agricultural d e p a r t m e nt at Washington. They spread over t he country and abroad. leaders, more passed to become farm I think it is safe to assert t h at no other college in the country sent out so large a proportion of early graduates who became prominent educators in t he field of applied science.

PATRIARCHS OF 1933 OLD GRADS DISCUSS PAST DEPRESSIONS IMPRESSED by the absence of familiar faces at the annual • Alumni Day ceremonies—due mostly to financial reasons- white-haired M. S. C. patriarches were in a mood to remi nisce about past great depressions as they gathered in the Union building for their yearly reunions with the few remain ing members of their classes. Some there were who could recall the terrible panic of '73, and to whom even the present period of stress holds none of the strain that that one did; others there were who saw in the modern version of panic a bewildering maze that was too complex for them to understand. To most, perhaps, the depressions of the past were clear, real events, while that of today was a bit hazy, a catastrophe that didn't quite touch them. But some had drawn well-learned lessons from history. Charles Garfield, '70, a well-known Grand Rapids banker, re lated that the panic of '73 was the worst he had ever known. He had been out of school three years, was started in business in a small way when events beyond his control ruined him. So caught in the financial morass was he that he had to accept the gift of a suit from a friend to help him get started again. -'I made up my mind then never to get caught in debt again," he declared. "Since then I have been through several panics and periods of let-down but the lesson I learn ed in '73 has never left me". Mr. Garfield told stories of the panic of '93, when as a banker in Grand Rapids he was forced to almost superhuman lengths to prevent the crash of his institution. "Those were dark days when we thought we'd never get out, but we did". T oo young to appreciate the panic of '73, William Caldwell, • class of '76, came through the depression of '93 without too great casualty. Hence he sees the present time of stress as the worst in his life-time. To this patriarch of M. S. C. the most important observation was the marvelous way the Col lege has withstood financial attacks during these periods. Two old friends, Henry Haigh '74, of Detroit, and Prank Gully, '80, of Alton, Illinois, saw an historical parallel between present conditions and those of '73. Mr. Haigh recollected that in the early depression as in the present one, the legisla ture chose the College as the strategic spot to cut state ex penses. In '73, he said, the legislature decided to eliminate the College altogether. He recalls the day that President Abbot stood up in chapel and announced that the legislature had de cided to allow M. S. C. a new lease of life. Pandemonium broke loose, he said, and the president smiled and permitted all the fireworks the student body felt they needed. On the whole, he believed, the depression affected the stu dents very little. It cost $2.00 a week to live on the Campus, and the men made 21 cents a day working on college farms. Reminiscences of a more modern nature were expressed by Lawrence (Stub) Clark, '04, of Detroit, president of the M. S. C. association. "I can just remember the panic of '93. Prices were lower then than now, but the general norm was lower also. In '07, which I remember very well, the panic was not as widespread. It was due mostly, I think, to a shortage of currency". On the whole, Mr. Clark believed the depression was a good thing in that it offered a chance to get business back on a sane level.

I don't see very good now a nd I don't remember very well." "Well, we keep getting younger every year," he says. ". And thus, two more of Michigan State college's older alum ni met in the early hours of J u ne 10 for the annual Alumni Day ceremonies. All through a hot summer afternoon they met—those w-ho could remember wrhen the College was still a backwoods agricultural school and the world war was only a childhood memory. For M. S. C's sons and daughters h ad gathered again, young and old, from the ends of the continent to once more relive old memories. those to whom even While registration was going* on in t he Union lobby, grad uates were searching t he gathering for old classmates, and the old-timers were resting for the wearying ceremonies t h at were to come, some of State's younger sons took part in the annual Alumni Day Golf tournament at Walnut Hills country club. A smaller number t h an usual participated but interest was as keen as ever before. Shortly before noon, an event of interest to most all alumni took the gathering in the Union out on t he shady lawn for the a n n u al business meeting of the M. S. C. Association. Here new officers were announced and policies for t he coming year were discussed. N keeping with t he time-honored tradition, the class of 1883, having been graduated 50 years, was initiated into t he P a t riarch's club at their a n n u al noon luncheon.

A number of others gave impromptu sketches. the dinner was At the same hour of the day, reunion luncheons for five and ten year classes arid quarter century anniversaries were be ing held in other parts of the Union building. The class of '08, under t he direction of Harry (Hap) Musselman, resplend ent in a skull cap a nd ancient cadet corps uniform, celebrated its 25th anniversary with fitting hilarity. T he class of '03 met to remember they h ad left M. S. C. behind thirty years for July-August, Nineteen thirty-three PaSe 9 ago. Bringing up the r e ar was t he class of '23, ten years out of school. After lunch m a ny of the old folks remained within the Union lobby to escape the hot sun. Groups of middle-aged men gathered around an old blue cadet coat hung in the lobby. "Do you remember these coats?" "Do I! Kept mine for some years, but the moths finally got it." Children frolicking in a corner, regard their p a r e n ts as some strange creatures, ape their r e m a r k s: "We're walking about the Campus just like we used to do before we were married." Reunion and P a t r i a r ch classes gather once more in t he sunlight to have their pres ence indelibly recorded in the photographer's camera. At the same time more t h an 2,000 attended the Alumni Day baseball game between State a nd Michigan S t a te Normal at which old hearts beat proudly, for the Green a nd White comes victorious again. themselves H I G H L I G HT of t he day's affair was t he a n n u al Sunset Supper in t he Union ballroom, where more t h an 400 dined, favors, a nd heard amused Malcolm W.

Thus closed the Twentieth anniversary of the present Mich igan State College association, a nd a repetition of alumni gatherings t h at stretch back almost as far as the founding of the College itself.

T h at sort of an organization sells itself to prospective a nd potential employers by bringing employers a nd these peculiarly qualified individuals together. W h en your employers are also alumni, t h at is made even easier. If you give a young the to put graduate an opportunity things which he has learned, you do h im a nd you do his em ployer, a nd you do society, a good service. You make t h em all grateful, and you justify the education for which t h at college exists. And it seems to your present officers t he only justi for an alumni association is to enhance, improve and fication extend education. T he local chapter of the American Associa tion of University Professors h as assisted materially this year in fostering a survey on the Campus to determine if some form of placement activity could be started. If only supplementary funds can be found we believe we can eventually start a place ment plan on a self-respecting and partially self-supporting basis.

Among all phases of our work, however, t he keeping of individual records is strikingly most important.

All this entails a t r e m e n dous a m o u nt of detail work, and, while we do not pretend for a moment t h at we are always able to keep up with t he move ments of all alumni, still our files are largely correct. Work with student groups on t he Campus is a n o t h er im p o r t a nt phase of our work t h at requires considerable time. T he secretary a nd his staff are always at the service of the student groups, assisting t h em in their programs of activities, Page^lO Michigan State College*Record and at t he same time endeavoring to acquaint t h em with t he importance of organized alumni work. * Another item worthy of mention is the fact t h at the M.

I N conclusion I would like to present for the consideration of the Association members certain recommendations which I feel should receive careful consideration during the coming year. 1. A comprehensive membership campaign should be planned a nd put into execution at the earliest possible moment, including as early as possible a complete list of the non-graduates. 2. A plan for securing an Endowment Fund, the interest from the principal being available above membership dues to c a ny on the important phases of our work. 3. Our Association should be certain phases of its work to provide better representation for all Sections of the State on both College a nd alumni matters. reorganized in meet with representative alumni a nd club officers different p a r ts of the State. in 5. Careful follow-up on the survey already completed in relative to the establishing of a placement office. These suggestions are made with the distinct u n d e r s t a n d ing t h at t he Association should take complete stock of itself, place its activities on t he basis of t he greatest possible service both to t he College and to the alumni these uncertain times, frame for itself a financial set-up t h at will adequately meet its needs, a nd proceed to interest a much larger number of alumni t h an ever before. The depression era which we have just passed t h r o u gh has shown the College the need for alumni help, and the alumni their responsibility to the College. To our alumni president. Dr. L. T. Clark. '04. and alumni treasurer, C. Fred Schneider. '85, I should like to pay my trib res ute. They have h ad a personal interest a nd ponsibility in the work of the Association which is much above t he average. financial Alumni work means more to us today t h an it h as ever m e a nt before. Let us dedicate this year of 1933 to service. Respectfully submitted, GLEN O. STEWART, '17, Alumni Secretary, 4. A plan for more district meetings should be evolved whereby members of the Executive Committee could June 10, 1933. Board Slashes College Budget New Spartan Club Formed A REDUCTION of $500,000 in next year's budget for the College over this year was made by t he State Board of Agriculture at its regular July meeting. T he new budget is $850,000 less t h an funds allowed two years ago. President R. S. Shaw h as announced a salary cut of all staff members receiving over $1,000 per year in order to effect a saving of $127,000. The reductions will range from 4 to 18 per cent, starting with t he lower bracket on salaries between $1,000 and $1,500 with an additional one per cent cut for each $500 of salary. This will make a total salary decrease r a n g ing from 11 to 25 per cent for the past twelve months. Maintenance expense will be reduced 22.1 per cent, or the In commenting on t he adoption of t he new the remainder will be lopped off $220,000 and some of labor pay roll. budget. President Shaw said: "We have cut the budget just as much as is possible a nd stiil hold the organization together without turning out em ployees. The scale of cuts is as heavy as is felt warranted, since our salary schedule has been r a t h er below the average when compared to other institutions of our class. "It will be necessary to carry on with a curtailment of activities of the institution in order to meet the rest of our budget. A further study will be made in order to cut ex individuals as little as penses and at the same time effect possible. We will do this by eliminating less essential phases of t he activities of the institution. Some funds which are tied up in closed banks will apply on the amount neces sary to balance the budget when they are released, as will funds owed the College by t he State." the Six replacement of Saving of approximately $18,000 was effected by unfilled t he board, resignations were accepted by positions. and Five positions were discontinued, three of which were part-time jobs. Fifty per cent of the graduate assistantships have been eliminated, and these places will be filled only when abso lutely necessary. several clerks was approved.
