Macklin Field, as the gridiron will be known in the fu ture, was thronged with a capacity crowd of enthusiastic fans and alumni who came to pay tribute to the State eleven and to the man, credited with having put the col lege teams on a national rating two decades ago. Macklin, who arrived in East Lansing on a special train with his family and many friends from Philadelphia, made his first appear ance before the student body at a in the college gym convocation nasium. Here he was officially wel comed by administrative officials of the school and local athletes who had played under his direction in the days of the "Fighting Aggie" teams. The dedication was marked by an impressive ceremony between halves of the Marquette-Michigan State Homecoming football game. Provided with a military setting by one of the local R. 0. T. C. units the college military band, and Macklin was presented with the key to the college. S p e a k i ng through a public address system from the center of the gridiron, the chairman of the program, "Pete" Bancroft, of Lansing, introduced President Robert S. Shaw, who of ficially christened the field. "In naming the College stadium, 'Macklin Field,'" said President Shaw, "the State Board of Agri culture desires to honor John Far rell Macklin for his achievements as a distinguished athlete, coach, and exponent of the worth of ath letic training as preparation for after-college activities." At a signal from the President a large tablet, with the new name upon it, was unveiled at the north end of the field, and Macklin was greeted with a great ovation as he stepped before the microphone. "I am not unappreciative of the MACKLIN FIELD ! high honor conferred upon me in naming this field for me," he said. "It means that my name will be connected with this grand, old in stitution and written upon the an nals of her history for all time to together with come. This fact, what we are witnessing today, would stir the deepest feeling of gratitude of any one." After congratulating the institu tion upon its development, aca demically as well as athletically, Macklin concluded, "I have always loved football and college athletics If I have rendered a generally. worthy service this field of in activity to our great College, and have contributed anything to the proud position which she has at tained, I am thankful and happy. "I want you to know that I deep ly appreciate the recognition of my services here. This for me is a great day, and my memory will re call it with sincere gratitude all the days of my life." Following the game, Macklin was feted at a banquet at the Hotel Olds in Lansing. L. L. Frimodig, as sistant athletic director at Michi gan State and a member of Mack lin teams, was chairman of the af fair.

S. Shaw in dis t he enormous cussing increase before the alumni Homecoming crowd. This increase of 45.1 per cent in a two-year period is more in view of statistics remarkable of enrollment in other large colleges in various parts of the country. increases In thirty-four eastern colleges an increase of only 3.1 per cent is noted over last year. In twelve in stitutions of higher learning in the south the average gain was 7.7 per ment and in twenty-two western schools, 10.6 per cent. The average for all those colleges is 6.6 per cent while Michigan State stands out with a net gain of 20 per cent over last fall. President Shaw has lately point ed out several factors which he be lieves to be responsible for Michi gan State's growing popularity. Among those cited were the fol lowing: "The 'A' rating granted the College by the American As sociation of Universities and Col leges and the recognition of the College by the American Associa tion of University Women; lower educational costs than at many larger institutions; the beauty of the campus; the success of State's athletic teams, and the general ac ceptance that Michigan State is the friendliest college on the North Page 6 Dedication Program For alumni who cherish mem the the colorful ories of "Aggie" teams, whose performances during the Macklin era brought national to Michigan State College; fame those who can still re and for member vividly f r e n z i ed scenes following Spartan victories over the Wolverines back in '13 and '15, the Publications Depart ment is offering a limited number of dedication programs, published, especially, for Homecoming Day.

In 1911, his initial year on the campus, he developed a powerful team which climaxed the season with only one defeat. In 1912, the team duplicated this per formance, and in 1913, for the first time in Spartan history, the home team conquered its most bitter rivals—"Hurry Up" Yost's Uni versity of Michigan squad. Con the tinuing State eleven conquered Wisconsin the following week and finished its season undefeated, for the only the football history of time Michigan State College. its winning streak, in The Wolverines came back in 1914 to nose out the Spartans, 3-0, but in 1915 the "Aggies," as they were then known, again trounced Michigan soundly, 24-0.

Nelson Dies His Duties Included Head Of The Jour nalism And Publications Department And Director Of Summer Session Professor Albert H. Nelson, 43, head of the department of publica tions, director of the summer ses sion, and professor of journalism at Michigan State College, died at his home in East Lansing, October 18, after an extended illness. Professor Nelson, whose many duties ranged from planning pub licity for college functions to aid ing rural students in the writing of news stories, served Michigan State for sixteen years, having come to the college following his discharge from the army after the War. After receiving a grade school education in his birthplace, Wol- cott, Indiana, Mr. Nelson enrolled in Wabash College in the same state in 1909, and earned his bachelor's degree in 1913. A mem ber of Phi Beta Kappa, he con tinued with graduate work at the same school and in the spring of 1914 received his master of arts degree. Professor Nelson's first teaching position came late in 1914 when he was engaged as an English in structor at Oklahoma A. and M. College. The outbreak of the World War ended his teaching career temporarily. Before his first year of teaching ended he enlisted in the 33rd Division of the A. E. F. as a private. After obtaining his honorable discharge from the army in 1919 with the rank of sergeant, he re sumed his teaching duties, but this time at Michigan State College where he joined the staff of the de partment of English, and soon at tained the title of assistant pro fessor. During his service with this department he was often Professor A. H. Nelson called upon to assume the duties of head of the division in the ab sence of Professor W. W. Johnston. journalism College training in and experience gained through summer employment on the staff of the Worcester Telegram in Mas sachusetts brought a b o ut the transfer of Mr. Nelson to the de partment of publications in 1929, when he became associate profes sor of journalism and assumed many duties in connection with col lege publicity and bulletins. In the February of the same year State Board of Agriculture added the direction of the summer ses sion to the rapidly growing list of activities. Under Professor Nel son's guidance the school developed into a well-known summer educa tional center. In December, 1932, Professor Nelson was given complete charge of the publications department, serving as acting head. The duties of this position were many and de tailed, including, in addition to all classes in journalism, the publica tion of college booklets and bulle tins and supervision of all student publications. An act of the State Board in 1934 conferred upon Mr. Nelson the official title of head of the department of publications. Along with his departmental re sponsibilities, Professor Nelson was named important to many faculty and administration com mittees, including the committees on Fraternities and Sororities, Ad missions, Farmers' Week, a nd Radio. During his teaching career at Michigan State College he became a member of the American Associa tion of Teachers of Journalism. He was affiliated with the William Riker Post of the American Legion in East Lansing, and for many years held the position of historian.

Program, In Addition To His Alumni Activities The task of this year's National program Youth Administration was added to the many duties of Glen 0. Stewart, alumni secretary, when he moved into his new quart ers in the Union Building this fall. This work, in addition to the ar ranging of alumni meetings to care for the Spartan football team on its many trips, made Stewart's of fice one of the busiest spots on the campus during the first weeks of the term. Replacing the FERA of last year, the National Youth Administration program now specifies that stu dents receiving its financial help must be selected on the basis of need, character, ability, and attend ance status. Before the beginning of the term, a preliminary selection was made from the one thousand four hundred and fifty applications of new students. The selection of students previously registered was to a faculty committee referred for advice as to character and ability. Tasks which were left unfinished for several years due to lack of funds have now been assigned to these student workers who are rapidly becoming important cogs in the gear-wheels of the various departments. Many large projects which require real ability and con centration have been planned by professors in addition to the rou tine work of filing, clipping, map making, and correcting of papers. This year the four hundred and five students who are employed were selected on the basis of 12 per cent of the college enrollment in 1934. The $6,300 available each month to the college for this pro ject is being divided among the young men and young women at $10 to $20 a month, depending on the applicant's need. Of this amount $5,880 will go to under graduates and $420 will go to graduate workers. Time and ef ficiency records are kept for each individual and tabulated each week by the official NYA timekeeper, Robert Terlaak, '34, of the business office staff. The students declare that the small amount they earn each month is actually the difference between their own resources and the amount required to continue their school work. A sophomore writing to the NYA office said, "I can't tell you how happy I am this year. I want to thank you for this opportunity to earn $15 a month. It pays half my board and room expense." Six Victories Defeats Two from page 10 Continued would have added to the durability, the team would probably have swept through its schedule without a defeat. Throughout the year the Spartans wrere, in at least one re spect, the wonders of the football world. Expert observers marvelled that a team so light (183 pounds in the line and 162 in the back- field) could play such strong rivals and emerge the winner. Opponents out-weighed State's team as much as thirty-five pounds to the man. team depended on speed, sharp blocking, a well-concealed of fense, perfect timing and a golden- hearted defense. Built with fine but frailer materials than most The of their opponents, the Spartans were bound to have their edge bat tered down on a few occasions. That was exactly what happen ed at Boston and to a lesser ex tent, perhaps, in the Marquette de feat. The team simply was unable to retain its keen cutting edge week after week. Once sharpened, as it most certainly was at Ann Arbor and Philadelphia, it could cut its way through any opponent. the Outstanding It was, as one newspaper writer observed, a team that could make "the greatest in the nation look shoddy." It had that superb ability to rise to the heights on one or two occasions. No rival could meet its fury successfully. Kansas, a team that later went on to give a shining account of itself against strong rivals, was humbled, 42 to 0. line, of in course, was Sidney P. Wagner, the great guard.

He will have back only Gordon Dahlgren, guard; Howard Zindel, tackle; Julius Sleder, tackle; and Arthur Brandstatter, fullback, from his first choice eleven. Joseph Buzolits, center; Louis Zarza and Robert All- mann, ends; Kurt Warmbein, left halfback; Dick Colina, quarter back; and Richard Edwards, right halfback, are finished. Colina and Warmbein have been stellar mem bers of State's backfields for three seasons. Zarza has played regu larly for the same period. Coach Bachman in The point total this year was one of the highest in history. State averaged twenty-six points to the opponents' the eight seven the games. Another feature of season was the appearance of a strong second team, which, on three occasions, proved even more ef fective than the starting eleven.
