College Memories, 1864-65 By Daniel Strange '67 to (Editor's Note—This poem was addressed Joseph Warren Gunnison w'66 several years pre vious to his death on February 10. Mr. Strange, the oldest living alumnus, recalls in his poem many scenes and activities which you may relive.) I've wandered round the college grounds, I've sat beneath the tree That stood upon the river bank and shaded you and me. And here we are to meet again, how pleasant 'tis, you know, To meet again on these old college grounds of seventy years ago. Seventy years ago, dear Joe, seventy years ago, To meet on these old college grounds of seventy years ago. The river's running just as still, the trees along its side Are larger than they used to be; the stream is not so wide; The old log bridge is swept away, where oft we used to go To take a stride at eventide, some seventy years ago. Seventy years ago, dear Joe, seventy years ago; We took our stride at eventide, some seventy years ago. How swift the rolling wheels of time, dear Joe, they've sped along Since that old bell's sweet, loving chime has cheered us with its song, Since we went toiling on our way with footsteps tired and slow Along the muddy road from town some seventy years ago. Seventy years ago, dear Joe, seventy years ago, 'Tis hard to see that it can be full seventy years ago. When half the weary way was past we rested by the stone, Wherein whose cleft a cherry pit had taken root and grown; The cleft was not so very wide, but half an inch or so, The little tree scarce touched its side some seventy years ago. Seventy years ago, dear Joe, seventy years ago; The cleft has spread, the tree has grown since seventy years ago. We went along the river bank; the Cedar rolled below; Then past the red-brick cottages, all standing in a row, Past pits of clay and piles of brick all standing in the kiln, Then o'er a rude and rustic bridge across a little rill. Seventy years ago, dear Joe, seventy years ago, Great green oak stumps stood all around here, seventy years ago. And when we had the surface cleared, we plowed and dressed it down, With heavy teams and working tools, and mellowed up the ground. We hoed the corn and cradled wheat and used the scythe to mow, For that's the way folks had to do seventy years ago. Seventy years ago, dear Joe, seventy years ago, We cleared the campus of its stumps but seventy years ago. The faculty was very small—the men were large and tall: Abbot and Kedzie, Miles and Clute, and Prentiss cherished all. The students then, a hundred men, were mostly preps of lore; And co-eds rare can scarce compare with Fern. Sem. girls of yore. Seventy years ago, dear Joe, seventy years ago, But none are left to greet us now as seventy years ago. But through all changes that are past, and all that yet may come, Our hearts still fondly turn at last to our old college home. She is our joy, our hope, our pride; no other place below Can warm our hearts as she has done since seventy years ago. Seventy years ago, dear Joe, seventy years ago— There's not one left that we knew then—we're only Dan and Joe. —Parody written in 1935. With apologies to our poet, Frank Hodgeman '62. We won't do worse, we stole his verse, cribbed it without ado. DANIEL STRANGE, above, stands beside the half-way stone, located on the lawn to the right or the main en trance to the Union. the stone. The Many of you will recall the historical significance of late Frank Hodgman '62, told it in one stanza of his poem from which Mr. Strange wrote his parody, "College Memories." The stanza, which follows, appears on the plaque attached to the stone in the picture above. "When half the toilsome way was passed, we rested by the stone Within whose cleft a cherry pit had taken root and grown; The cleft was not so very wide; just half an inch or so; The little tree scarce touched its side some forty years ago . . ." The stone really served as a half-way mark between Lansing and East Lan sing. Here, of course, students rested and found it a convenient meeting place for many a social chat. Beginning as a tiny twig the cherry tree's growth forced the stone into two fairly equal parts. College authorities desired to preserve the stone so one part was brought to the campus to serve as a memorial for the earlier days at Michigan State col lege. J. W.

One day a student found a bee tree. His excited yells over the dis covery of the honeyed sweets precipi tated a mad free-for-all that would have done justice to a modern class rush. How different is the 1937 curriculum with its more than 1,000 courses repre senting the six departmental divisions THIS month, and more particularly May 13, should serve as a period for reflection! Eighty years ago, May 13, 1857, state governmental officials and townspeople met in the college dormitory chapel to dedicate formally Michigan Agricultural college, the first in the United States devoted to the development of scientific and practical agriculture. Today this same college, under a new name, Michi gan State college, is regarded as one of the finest cultural institutions in the Middle West. that Total enrollment during first year numbered 73 young men. They were crowded together in a dormitory known as "Saint's Rest" which was located at the site of the present library. Today the Registrar lists an enrollment of 4,627 men and women, representing 37 states and the countries of Australia, Canada, China, Denmark, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines. Today's freshmen live in the campus dormitory, Well's Hall, or in numerous private homes. Women students are in spacious Mary Mayo quartered Hall, North Hall, and the Women's Building. The Women's Building is being replaced by a new $450,000 structure to be known as Sarah Lang- don Williams Hall, in honor of the wife of the first president of M. S. C.

C O L L E GE R E C O RD Page 5 Students Sponsor Guidance Conference R EPRESENTATIVES of industry and the professions met with students of Michigan State college on April 21-22 in the first vocational guidance confer ence ever held on the East Lansing campus. Leading student organizations at the college had charge of planning and directing the meetings. leaders, under Recognition of the need for some well- defined system of vocational guidance the prompted student direction of Jean Ballard, East Lansing, and Al Theiler, Grand Haven, to start preparations more than a year ago for round table discussions. Various colleges and universities throughout the Middle West were visited in an effort to dis cover methods of guidance most efficient. To discover in what careers students questionnaires wrere most interested wrere sent to the student body. The re sults indicated that the largest percent age was interested in getting informa tion on careers dealing with teaching and prevention of crime, followed close ly by journalism and advertising. Dir ectors of the conference secured men qualified to give vocational advice on industrial and professional pursuits. for Candidates the honor position must be enrolled in either the agricul tural, home economics, veterinary, or medical biology divisions. Nominations will be made by sororities and other co-ed organizations. Judges for the selection of the queen are John Hannah, secretary of the col lege, Charles Bachman, football coach, Dr. Lydia Lightring, professor of phyical education for women, Vincent Vander- burg, president of the senior class, and John Hamann, president of the inter- fraternity council. Tony Smirniotis, Sodus, Michigan, col lege drum major, and Prof. R. W. Tenny, short course director, are directing the selection. They have announced that the winner of the contest will have a promi nent position in the parade, a feature of the carnival. She will be crowned at a giant coronation ball that will close the carnival festivities. Directors of the entertainment are completing arrangements for the queen to extend a personal invitation of wel come to Governor Frank Murphy. Dr. T. Luther Purdom, director of the placement and guidance bureau of the University of Michigan, opened the con ference when he spoke to the student body on ''Personalities and Careers." Classes were excused for the occasion. The general convocation was follow ed by 17 round table discussions on the subjects of secretarial work, conserva tion as a vocation, diplomatic and con journalism, sular service, advertising, education, chemical engineering, avia tion, dietetics, social work, criminology, architecture, accounting, medicine, home service activities, investment banking, and biological work. Expenses were borne by the student body. Attendance at the meetings was so gratifying that the student sponsors of the project have announced their in tention to expand the list of speakers next year. Ag. Queen Michigan State college will have a "Queen of Agriculture," the first in the history of the institution. She will reign over the "All-Ag" carnival to be held on the campus May 21. Beauty, person ality, prominence, and scholarship will be the the qualifications upon which selection of the queen will be based. Yestertlay Had Its Romance, Too (Continued from page 5) professors and instructors have degrees obtained at leading universities of the United States and Europe. Six are in cluded in "Who's Who in America," in cluding President Robert S. Shaw. Many have traveled extensively as a supple ment to their university training. They have at their disposal a reference library of 110,000 volumes and laboratory facili ties whose fame this year draws such men as a Puerto Rican entomology student and a dairy research graduate student from the University of Copen hagen. Growth of culture at this school would not be complete without a picture of the contrasts between the two types of social activities. The outstanding social event locally in the fall of 1857 was a corn husking bee, held in a field located at the site of the present School for the Blind in Lansing. Despite the muddy lead condition of ing downtown, the boys hiked to the "Female Seminary" where they picked up partners. The thought uppermost in the mind of every student was to find a red ear. An onlooker has stated that the corduroy road there was an unusually of red ears in the field that night. large number Contrast with that scene of rustic festivity the 1937 model. Now the young man dudes up in a Tuxedo, calls for his "date" in a taxi, and spends the the high priced to evening dancing rhythms of one of the nation's leading orchestras. State social life has gone completely cosmopolitan. Students learn from each other how "things are done" in various sections of the country. The blase New Yorker chats with the drawl ing miss from Miami or the fast talk ing Chicagoan while they sip Coca Colas in the grill of the Union building. After the noon place of those muddy hikes to the girl seminary. "tea" dances have taken and accompanied The old-timers didn't have much of an opportunity for so-called "cultural" advantages. Their concerts were those impromptu affairs held during the eve nings, when someone dragged out a harmonica general singing. But now the student can hear such noted lecturers as Father Hubbard, Richard Halliburton, and Amelia Ear- hart. Or he can attend the concerts of Metropolitan Opera stars, world famous the M. S. C. symphony pianists, and orchestra. He can join the Glee club or the 101-piece band. He can be ini tiated into foreign language clubs, poli tical science organizations, and honor societies of every division of the college. He can become a campus politician, or work on a college publication. Then sports and athletic opportunities must be considered. In 1857 students indulged in "two old cat" ball games, running, hop step and jump, pom-pom pull away, tag, leapfrog, and swimming in the Red Cedar river. Now the student has a modern gymnasium and swimming pool for his general amusement. M. S. C. footfall, basketball, tennis, and swimming teams have toured the coun to coast. They have try from coast their attracted national attention by victories. The new track dedicated in April is not surpassed by any other similar plant in the country. track, Thus M. S. C. has more than fulfilled its founders' desires. It has expanded beyond its intended limits as a college for the promotion of agriculture, to in clude all courses which will prepare one for the "better life," regardless of whatever occupation one selects. G r a n ts R e c e i v ed Recent gifts to Michigan State college total more than $1,200. Grants include $620 for research in entomology, $100 added to the student loan fund, and $500 for fertilizer research.

Woe is the M. S. C. male! For the first year of its organization, six meetings have been planned for the clinic. Three of them will be open to all girls and the others will take the form of discussions or clinics with in dividual girls. The first talk was given by Elizabeth Daniels, women's physical instructor, on posture. The education next lecture will deal with the art of being a gracious hostess, and the third will be on stage and street makeup. The clinics deal with three projects: color in dress, posture correction, harmony and makeup. Home Economics students will aid and direct the patients during special appointments. 23 Complete College Studies Twenty-three Michigan State students completed work for graduation at the end of the winter term.

The record enrollment for 1936, 1050 sludents, represented an increase of 30 per cent over the previous year, and the large number of inquiries to date in dicate that the 1937 summer quarter will pass even this record. The phenomenal enrollment increases have brought about expansion in both ihe kind and number of courses offered. The 1937 session will include 245 courses taught by 150 instructors, among whom will be visiting professors from other schools and colleges. New depart ments added will be art, geology, farm management, chemical engineering and foundry. last summer's As the result of a questionnaire circu lated among students, additional courses in education, English, geography, philosophy and psychology will be offered.

Courses Special emphasis is being placed on entertainment for summer school this year. Dances, bus trips, swimming par ties, plays, lectures and conferences are being arranged. Appealing to out of state students will be the National Education Association's annual conference in Det roit during the six week session. Ar rangements will be made for all summer students who wish to do so to attend the conference while they are in school at East Lansing.

Mrs. Marshall Houghton Posthumus '31), Detroit, was named vice president, and Ralph Freedman '33, Flint, treasurer. Virginia Day '33, Flint, Gwendolyn Miller '36, Mason, and Josephine Kackley, professor of public school music at M. S. C, were chosen to form a board of directors. The Music Alumni association, design ed specifically to unite the graduates of the music department, had its inception with Prof. Lewis Richards, head of that department. A preliminary meeting in January, including Miss Kackley; L. C. liberal arts; Prof. Emmons, dean of Richards, and a few prominent music alumni gave such enthusiastic support to the project that Miss Kackley was appointed general chairman of the asso ciation with the instruction to start or ganization immediately. Committees on ways and means, constitution, and a program for an annual meeting were also appointed. In the second preliminary meeting in March the alumni group approved the constitution and invited all graduates to return to the campus on April 24 and 25 for a reunion. The program included registration, a business meeting attend ed by about 35 alumni, a banquet for 70, tea, musicale, advanced student recital, collegium musicum, and a dinner.

Captain Rene Fronck, French ace of aces during the war, came into our office and asked for advice on flying weather. He intended to cross the Atlantic by plane. Imme diately we set to work to help him, the result was machinery which and is still in use. We arranged for trans mission of reports from ships on the shipping lanes of the north Atlantic. These were relayed to the us.

A large percentage of the pickles are grown from a variety developed by the college department of horticulture. »« The "thin wood" method of pruning trees developed by members of the horticultural department is being adopt ed in many parts of the United States and Canada. The research work of the college dairy department has shown the fallacy of feeding complex mineral feeds to dairy cows. The mineral element most likely to be deficient in the ration of a dairy cow is phosphorous. Many dairy men in Michigan have profited greatly by feeding bonemeal instead of high priced worthless mineral mixtures. »« Michigan State college is one of ten institutions in the United States offering full work in Veterinary Science. Two hundred twenty-six students are en rolled in the course. »« Requests for Michigan State college bulletins come from every nation. Trans lating some of these requests taxes the ingenuity of Mrs. Bogue, in charge of the bulletin room.
