MICHIGAN \ AG HALL • • • ERECTED IN 1908 « Applied Science at Michigan State INDUSTRY and Agriculture have found it necessary to lean heavily upon Science for aid in solving their problems. To those young men and women who have a scientific bent and wish to play a part in the applications of Science to Industry and Agriculture, Michigan State College offers a well-developed program in the basic sciences as embodied in the Division of Ap plied Science. » Three curricula leading to the Bachelor of Science degree are outlined: 1. The Applied Science Course; 2. The course in Physical Education for Men; 3. The course in Physical Education for Women. Kedzie Chemical Laboratory A p p l i ed Science Course In this course a student may major in some fundamental science—Bacteriology, Botany, Chemistry, Entomology, Geology, Mathematics, Physics, Physiology, Zoology—and the at the same time secure supplementary training in supporting sciences, in languages, and in mathematics. It is the aim of the course not only to develop in the stu the sciences dent a sound fundamental knowledge of pursued, but also to indicate clearly the application of science in industry, agriculture, and the arts. With but slight modification three years of this course will serve to prepare students for entrance into Class A dental or medical colleges. Many pre-medical and pre-dental students spend two or three years, or even longer, at Michigan State before matri culating in medical or dental institutions. two or first the Physical Education Two curricula in Physical Education are offered in the Applied Science Division, one for men and one for women.

STEWART, '17 • IN A PLOT in Evergreen cemetery in Jackson lies a new shrine for alumni of that city—the grave of Dr. Frank Stewart Kedzie, beloved by thousands of Michigan State folk as friend, teacher and "prexy." He was borne there by four members of the faculty and four Lansing business men. It was unnecessary to designate honorary pallbearers because in attendance at the funeral home were college presidents, state officials, and leaders in civic affairs, busi ness, and education. High and low and middle class citizens looked on and grieved at the passing of "Uncle Frank." His funeral cortege did not pass the College grounds en- route to Jackson, but classes were dismissed in his honor and during the time consumed to reach the cemetery the Beaumont tower chimes rang out in respect to the man who had been a close friend of the donors. In addition to the requiem, members of the chemistry department placed a large portrait of him in the foyer of the Kedzie Chemical laboratory, banked with flowers and surrounded with College flags. Thus Dr. Frank Kedzie died the exemplar of all he fought for most of his life —the man of humble ori gin who could some day rank among those w ho gave priceless assistance to a great college. • HIS DEATH occurred early Saturday morning, January 5, in his home at 216 North Chestnut street, in Lansing. "Uncle Frank" had visited the offices of the chemistry department and the alumni association on the Campus Thursday, made numerous business calls around Lansing on Friday, and appeared to be in good health. Mrs. L. C. Plant, a niece of Doctor K e d z i e, Professor and Plant visited the venerable evening educator Friday and he complained of in digestion. A physician was the called and night while the doctor was out getting a nurse, Doctor Kedzie died on the lounge at his home. His demise than a month came after the death of his wife, later less in Mrs. Kate Marvin Kedzie, who passed away December 7. College friends who visited him during the last week found him facetious and good humored as always, but the loss of his life's companion during the px'e-holiday season was a heavy load for his kind heart. their to pay It was not until faculty, students, alumni and towns people came last respects that they fully realized how far his influence had extended beyond the confines of the Campus and of Lansing. No alumnus, no faculty member ever had so many friends, for nobody, perhaps, ever influenced so many lives over so long a period. The press of the state and of the nation eulogized him as the "Grand Old Man" of the College. It will never be known how many young men and young women were able to continue in college or specialize in certain professions because of his benevolence. He was often stern with ap plicants for aid, but he seldom refused a loan, and he never asked security. Those deeds are sufficient evidence of fine character—they need no eulogizing. • BORN in Vermontville. Eaton county, May 12, 1857, the birth-year of the Col lege, Dr. Kedzie was the youngest of three sons of a former wartime surgeon who forsook medicine for chemistry, Dr. Robert Clark Kedzie, and Eliza Fairchild Kedzie, both graduates of Oberlin college in Ohio. He came to the College with his parents in 1863 at the age of six; in 1871 he entered college as a "facul ty kid" and studied chem In istry under his father. those days there were few and preparatory institu students went learning tions of higher t h ey w e re "big when enough." graduated He with a degree of Bachelor of Science in 1877, became in a laboratory assistant in 1880 and an instructor 1881. schools to College students paused in silence before the Kedzie memorial in the foyer of the Chemical laboratory During subsequent the six-year period as instruc tor he married Miss Kate Marvin at Lansing. Miss talented Marvin was musician and, even after a Page 6 Michigan State College Record her marriage, enjoyed an extremely successful career of her own in that field. He was named adjunct professor of chemistry in 1881 and in 1902 when his father retired after 39V2 years as head of the department took over the administrative duties. He was appointed acting president in 1915 and president in 1916. He served as head of the College until 1921, when he became dean of the newly organized division of ap plied science and was the first head of this division. Dr. Kedzie spent two short periods of study in Europe. • BIRTHDAYS have figured prominently in the Kedzie history at the College, as his father was named head of the chemistry department on his 40th birthday and con capacity t h is in tinued until he was 79. chemistry The present as the building, known Kedzie labora chemical tory, and Kedzie avenue in East Lansing stand as mon uments to these two Ked- zies who made history at the College. The building which housed Doctor Ked- zie's office as college his torian was named after his father, but there are those who feel that it may equal ly justly be considered a "U n c 1 e recognition Frank's" achievements in agricultural c h e m i s t ry lines and his benefit to the College. o f physics The p r e s e nt building, erected in 1871 when his father was head the chemistry depart of by ment, w as claimed the Doctor Frank to be laboratory oldest chemical standing t he country. This was the first building constructed after Dr. Rob ert Clark Kedzie came to the College. in The older Doctor Kedzie 'Unci the administration of was a physician and was very active in Michigan medical circles before he took over the college department. He graduated with the first medical class at the University of Michigan. He did much along health lines in this state and served on the state health board. He died on the M. A. C. campus November 7, 1902. Dr. Frank Kedzie and Mrs. Kedzie had lived in the same home at 216 North Chestnut street for the past several years. Prior to that time they resided at 420 West Ottawa street, around the corner from the present Kedzie home, for many years. Dr. Kedzie used to drive to the College and back with horses but in recent years he had an auto mobile. The popular couple was familiar to many Lansing residents because of the regular Sunday morning horseback rides they took during the open season for more than 25 years. Doctor Kedzie kept riding horses during all of this time. He was active in starting the R. O. T. C. horse show 12 years ago. • THE COLLEGE went through probably the most stormy period of its history during Doctor Kedzie's administration. The World war had a telling effect on enrollment and fire destroyed two major buildings and one of the most popu lar divisions of the College was added. The peak enroll ment up to that time was recorded in 1916-17 when 1,717 students were enrolled and this fell off to 1,484 in 1920-21. He took over the administrative duties in 1915 as acting president and was given permanent charge in 1916. He returned from an alumni meeting in Chicago in 1916 to find that the engineering building constructed in 1907 at a cost of $225,000, and most of the college shops had been destroyed by fire. The work of this division was carried on temporarily in Agricultural hall. Doctor Kedzie im mediately communicated with Ransom E. Olds, who was in Florida. These two men's fathers had been close friends and the college president felt that the motor magnate would be glad to help finance a new building. Mr. Olds returned to Lansing and after several conferences he contributed $100,000 to augment the $125,000 in the College treasury and the R. E. Olds Hall of Engineering was constructed. The building was rushed fall to completion by of 1917, in order that en rollment would not fall off. the • WILLIAMS HALL, the oldest of the dormitories on in the Campus, burned 1920, leaving the adminis tration with an acute hous ing problem. The Campus was con verted into an army camp during the early part of the war and men from as as Wisconsin far were quartered here for instruction under members of the College military de partment. away the The division of applied science was added under Doctor Kedzie's adminis tration in 1921 and collect ed all of scientific the C o l l e ge courses at under a to make for greater adminis trative'efficiency. He was made the first dean of this new division after resign ing as president in 1921. single head )ld Chemical 1871 Doctor Kedzie always felt that Michigan State col lege was preeminently a school, and al scientific ways urged and believed that science work at the institu tion should be of the highest grade. Legislative appropriations in 1921 set a record for the College when $900,000 was set aside for college buildings, principally for the home economics structure and a new "library. Doctor Kedzie was instrumental in starting the liberal arts division of the College, which includes a course in busi ness administration. • THE INTERNATIONAL championship Belgian and Percheron horses which have gained fame for the College at fairs throughout the country were added during his ad ministration. During the last years of his connection with the College he had succeeded in making arrangements for co-eds to be given riding instructions. Doctor Kedzie was one of the backers of the home eco nomics course and was a member of the faculty committee which recommended that the College become a co-educa tional institution. This step was definitely taken in 1895 and followed his recommendation. Except for a decision made in his youth, Doctor Kedzie might have entered the telegraph business instead of be coming a nationally prominent educator. When he was 14 or 15 years old, he was a proficient telegraph operator and he was offered the management of the Lansing Western Union office, but turned it down to go to college. Frank made frequent visits to the building—first used by his father ii For January, Nineteen Thirty-five Page 7 College Faculty Members Eulogize Kedzie • President Robert S. Shaw said: ''Doctor Kedzie was essentially a product of Michigan State college, having grown up with the institution from his earliest childhood. He was not only a graduate of the College with the class of 1877, but received from his Alma Mater an honorary degree of Doctor of Science. He knew the institution probably in greater detail than any other alumnus, and his long years of teaching service gave him the widest possible range of acquaintances with students and alumni. "As acting president and president of the College be tween 1914 and 1921, the World war period, he assumed the responsibility for direction of the institution under most difficult conditions that have existed during its entire history. "Doctor Kedzie's interests, heart and soul, were com pletely absorbed in the institution for which he gave his the entire life efforts and services. We deeply regret passing of such a notable figure from the life of the College." Professor A. J. Clark, who succeeded Doctor Kedzie as • head of the chemistry department, said: "The death of Doctor Kedzie brings to a close the career of one of the most influential characters connected with Michigan State college during the past 50 years. 'Uncle Frank,' as he is lovingly referred to by hundreds of alumni, devoted his life to the institution. His great contribution, aside from his influence on the general policies of the Col lege, lay in direct contacts he had with individual students. Few teachers have the ability to serve so abundantly as did 'Uncle Frank.' The records will not show the hun dreds of students who received financial aid from Doctor Kedzie. His whole life was a fine and important contribu tion to the state of Michigan, in which he was born and lived." John A. Hannah, '23, secretary of the College in a recent 9 statement said: "The news of Dr. Kedzie's death made me feel as I have often felt when a great tree on our College campus has been cut down. With it disappears something splendid and stalwart, something of long, steady, sound growth, some thing in foliage of beauty and helpful ness and filled the landscape, making other trees near it seem stunted and insignificant. flowered that "His passing will bring in a hundred alumni circles all over the country a sense of disturbing loss and a regret for a good man gone." (Editor's Note: Due to the very large number of tele grams and letters which have come to relatives of Dr. Kedzie and to College officials, it has been impossible to include them in this issue. However, the February issue will contain many comments on Dr. Kedzie's life made by the large number of alumni and other friends he had. That the issue will also contain a detailed account of large bequest he made to the College chemistry depart ment, notice of which was received shortly before going to press). ^ Shaw Sees Student Attitude Changed in stating that the student body. the press to prepare a short • WHEN ASKED by the past calendar year Presi statement on events of dent R.

The 1935 Co-ed Prom January 24 in the gym annex is the fifteenth annual prom. The 1920 Wolverine carries pictures of the first Co-ed Prom, describing it as "an all girls' dance to which not even men onlookers were allowed" held in the college gymnasium and sponsored by the girls' student council and Dean of Home Economics Mary Ed monds. All the faculty women came out to it, and so many girls that at the early proms there were never less than 200 couples. The Co-ed Prom was one of the highlights of the year, and packed the college gymnasium as fully as did the J-Hop. Costumes at the Prom were wild and occasionally much abbreviated. Sphinx members came one year dressed as candy sticks, each girl being wrapped in a roll of purple and white cardboard. One girl achieved fame by ap pearing as a baby in long white dress, with booties and a bonnet. Eloise LeBeau won the costume prize one year by appearing as a mouse, and another year she came as the devil. Dean Elisabeth Conrad created an impression in one of the first years after she came to Michigan State by appearing in a graceful Chinese costume, and Miss Helen Grimes, then head of the women's physical educa tion department and now Girl Scout executive, was given the prize one year for her very "busty" dress, long with a bustle, and topped with a gorgeously plumed hat. Pirate gangs, Goldy and Dusty, Mahatma Gandhi, Wee Willie Winkie, and Helen of Troy have all appeared at Michigan State Co-ed Proms at one time or another. Because the Co-ed Prom has been so exclusively a co-ed affair, the men have always been intensely intrigued by the idea of getting in on the party. It used to be that they had to plug the tunnel and keep the college cop at the door to prevent the men from sneaking in. At one of the early proms a man did get by the door, and was able to enjoy the party all up until the refreshments. Then some body noticed his hands were a man's hands. In the wild scramble that ensued, the poor student was able to sneak away, and later it came out that he had gone to the prom on a bet. Some of the Union Literary society men had bet him that he couldn't get in. He said he would do it or die in the attempt, and he almost did die, with some 400 embattled co-eds after him. their Themes for the Prom have been varied. Most of the girls came in any outlandish costume that they could as semble. The 1934 party was a nursery party at which the freshman counselors entertained little sisters, and the 1933 party was an all girls' dance to which everyone came dressed as an historical character. This year's Prom is an advertising party, with girls coming as anything from "Time to Retire" to "Old Dutch Cleanser," or the Fisher Body girl. Decorations are huge cardboard displays, and the feature of the evening will be a co-ed jazz band, if the committee can find a co-ed drummer, drumming apparently not being a co-ed accomplishment at this institution. freshman For January, Nineteen Thirty-five Page 9 Grads Honor Memory of Bessey at Iowa State • DR.

Dr. Bessey's subject was, "Teaching of Botany Sixty-fiv6" Years Ago." Special recognition was also given to the work of the elder Bessey, and his famous microscope was en display at the symposia. the • THE APPEARANCE of Dr. Bessey on the Iowa State College campus was the occasion for the first Michigan State alumni gather ing to be held there in many years.

The alumni office has made it a point to refrain from anything that would seem like overstressing the financial needs of the alumni work. But still, it is a fact that the support given this work by members of the alumni group is far less than it should be. Some have doubtless just overlooked the matter in the rush of other things; others have been intending to make a donation but have simply put it off; still others prob ably feel that Michigan State has funds in such amount that alumni help is not needed. Nothing could be further from correct than this latter assumption. Much more money than has been received is needed for the alumni work if the activities of the office are to be maintained as they should be.

Harry Wismer, Port Huron, has yet to an nounce the date of the Sophomore Prom, but Tom Ottey, of Ardmore, Pennsylvania, president of this year's graduating class, has picked March 1 as the date of the final big social event of the class of 1935.

Coach Ben VanAlstyne took his basketeers on a jaunt through the midwest to tackle two of the strongest teams in the Big Ten, meeting Northwestern, Wisconsin, and Loyola universities away from home and Leland Stan ford at East Lansing. the fall The trek to Evanston resulted in a win for the Big Ten cagers when they completely outplayed the Spartans dur ing the latter minutes of the game to the score of 39-26. Defying all attempts to hold him in check, Fisher, Wildcat forward, ran wild and chalked up a total of seven field goals and three free throw's for a total of 17 points. Arn VanFassen. State pivot man. who had been absent from the squad for the past few days, accounted for seven points, with Reuse and Herrick following closely with five and four respectively for the Green and White.. Spending Christmas eve in the city of Chicago, the local courtmen gained headway in defeating Loyola 26-19, thus partially easing the sting handed them a few nights before. Ronald Garlock, sophomore guard from Lansing, stepped into the fray and linked forces with Rouse to tally the win ning points. Both men accounted for ten points. • ON DECEMBER 27 the Spartans set up their camp again on their home floor to meet Stanford university of Palo Alto, California. The game was played under west coast rules, the center jump being eliminated and the ball being taken out of bounds to be put into play. Under this method, the game is speeded up greatly in that the ball is taken immediately upon scoring by the opponent's team and put into play again. The Spartans played faultless ball and emerged with a 25-18 score in their favor. Her rick was banished from the game on personal fouls which held his scoring to a minimum. Rouse and VanFassen again accounted for the majority of the varsity scoring. Crossing the lake, State again took to travel and op posed the University of Wisconsin at Madison. Van- Alstyne's men showed the best display of ball played thus far this season when the Big Ten cagers were played on even terms during two periods, an overtime period be ing necessary for a decision. Wisconsin was victorious, 23-21. • PARADING 12 men of his squad, VanAlstyne managed to place a group on the floor against Wayne university of Detroit on January 4, that was able to score at will. Al though held even for the first few minutes by the visitors, VanFassen broke through for several sensational under- the-basket shots and the Spartans pulled away to a 17-9 lead at the half. The starting lineup of Reck and Garlock at forward, VanFassen at center, and Rouse teamed with Herrick at guard appeared to be an unbeatable combina tion and the ensuing substitutions were unable to duplicate. On Tuesday night, January 8, the varsity again met a considerably weaker opponent when Ypsilanti invaded the Campus. A short time before, Ypsi had held the University of Michigan fast-going quintet to a marginal victory of one point. This game proved to be nearly an exact dupli cate of the Wayne game when the Spartans seemed able to score at will. The final outcome of the game was 31-17. the Spartan quintet will be Marquette university on January 17. Other games to be played during the remainder of the season are Hillsdale, January 21; Michigan State Normal, January 24; Wayne university, January 28; Western Reserve, February 4; University of Michigan, February 9; University of Ken tucky, February 13; Marquette.
