Thousands of visitors will be verifying this rather bold statement for themselves by sauntering through the gardens to admire gorgeous banks of moss phlox, tulips, magnolias, narcissus, aubrietia, and daffodils, in the heart of the col lege campus. This resurgence of spring, nowhere seen to better advantage than in the garden spot on the banks of the fabled Red Cedar river, less than three miles from the capitol dome, has particular this year.

Situated as they are on the edge of the pool, these spots have gar nered considerable campus legend as aids of Dan Cupid. Hundreds of over sized goldfish already are strok ing through the pool. "They've been here all winter," Chap man says. There was a time, not so many weeks ago, when the Red Cedar river, rising over its banks, rushed into the garden, invaded the pool, and seemed in a goodly way to reduce the goldfish population. When the waters receded, however, the finny residents were as plentiful as ever. Hardy lilies keep the goldfish company during the winter months. There will be more of them this year. Too, there will be tropical night blooming water lilies—something to see by the light of a full moon. "The old grads come back year after year to this spot," says Mr. Chapman. "We're keeping the old garden much as it was because of the tremendous amount of sentiment about it.

To further this three-fold program requires a "behind-the- scenes" research to the Beal-Garfield botanic gardens. To the southeast of the old Beal portion of the gardens, hidden behind a screen of trees, is the experimental "nerve center" of the entire seven- acre plot.

The foresight of the late Dr. W. J. Beal, who in 1877 started the garden, is brought out sharply by this new development, for here will be seen representative plants from every nation on the face of the globe—some 3,000 species in all—and a complete native section. This was as Doctor Beal would have wished it, and his farsightedness in planning this development will be apparent to all who motor along the Red Cedar or around the drive that circles the "Forest of Arden" and the parade ground, during the coming months. While the Garfield enlargement steals, at the moment, the lion's share of the sunken garden scene, and quite justifiably, important Mr. Chapman points out that there are other things being done to draw some 50,000 visitors this summer. In the past, the garden has attracted a peak of 40,000 an nually.

When the five members of the class of '62' met in the college chapel for the last time, they became the first students to receive their degrees at a formal com mencement at Michigan State college. An unidentified newspaper clipping, the course of dated 1868, states study was extended from two to four years in 1861, and no one was gradu ated from the two years course in that year. The exercises were simple in '62,' consisting of music, a prayer, and seven orations. that Far different was the commencement of 1907, however, for this year marked the the semi-centennial celebration of beginning of Michigan Agricultural col lege. President Theodore Roosevelt de livered the principal address of the daj to an estimated audience of more than 20,000 people. The address was given from a platform on the elevation in the present college hospital. front of Nearby trees were utilized by the many spectators who were unable find places in the crowd which extended back to the present Gym annex.

Dirks Dean, Division of Engineering Editor's Note: This is the second of a series of articles dealing with the six divisions of study at Michigan State college. The Division of Engin In the eering is described in the following story. next issue of the Record an article on the Divi sion of Home Economics will be published. THE Engineering Division of Michi gan State college, although not es tablished as a division of the college until 1885, may be considered as having existed since 1859 when the Honorable John M. Gregory, who, at that time was Superintendent of Public Instruction, advocated a Department of Civil and Rural Engineering. In 1871 the studies included chemistry, mathematics, draw ing, mechanics, and civil engineering, and it was no doubt due to this train ing that Frank F. Rogers who gradu ated in 1883 later became the most out standing highway commissioner in the United States. in t r a i n i ng Another w h o se these early years later became prominent in engineering as the author of one of the most widely used text books in experi mental engineering was Professor R. C. Carpenter, graduate of the class of 1873. It was Professor Carpenter also who in 1885 designed and erected the first mechanical engineering shop and In the same year Profes class rooms. sor Lewis McLouth of the State Nor mal school was elected to head the new division of Mechanical Engineering. Another name connected with the early years of the division is that of Dr. W. F. Durand who served as head of the division from 1887 to 1891. It may be of interest to know that Dr. is still active as an emeritus Durand Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Leland Stanford university. Dr. Durand first stressed foundry in shop the present foundry with its cupola, brass furnaces and rotating electric furnace no doubt owes its existence to this early start. instruction and the need of a Dr. Durand was followed by Professor L. P. Breckenridge in 1891 and by Pro fessor C. L. Weil in 1893. The year 1891 also saw the coming of Professor H. C. Vedder as professor of mathe matics and civil engineering. All of the early maps of the campus and the C O L L E GE R E C O RD Many of his graduates hold prominent in engineering. positions location of sewers and drains were the result of his efforts. It may be of in terest to note that Professor Chase New man who is still in the department of drawing and design came to the col lege at this same period. The resignation of Professor Weil in 1906 brought to the college Professor G. W. Bissell, who, in addition to being engineering, professor of mechanical was the first dean of the newly created division of engineering. It was during the latter's incumbency that in 1924 the Engineering Experiment station which to date has issued 77 bulletins, and is at present engaged in 10 research prob lems was established. The work of the station, especially along the line of de velopment of rural road construction, especially industrial waste disposal from creameries and beet sugar fac tories, and snow control on highways, has received nationwide attention. The growth of the division was rapid. By 1890 there were 111 students, in 1900—226, in 1910—414, and in 1937— 755. The faculty has kept pace with this growth and now numbers 44, being distributed as follows: Civil 12, Chem ical 5, Drawing and Design 9, Electrical 6, and Mechanical 12.

Dean Mumford has written several magazine articles and various types of agricultural columns and letters. Sixty volumes dealing with phases of agri cultural government publication, ad dresses, and articles will be turned over to the University of Missouri library upon his retiring. He was honored by having his portrait hung in the Saddle and Sirloin gallery at Chicago in 1924. This gallery an nually adds portraits of men prominent in European and American agriculture. The Art World Magazine cited him as "a constructive thinker along the lines of animal breeding and livestock eco nomics." Professor Mumford's o r g a n i z a t i on membership include fellowships in the American Association for the Advance ment of Science, the American Society of Animal Production, the Missouri Academy of Science, Sigma Xi, Gamma Alpha, Alpha Zeta, Gamma Sigma Delta, Blue Key, Acacia fraternity, Mason, Patrons of Husbandry (Grange), Farm Bureau, and Rotary. Bayha Memorial Three years ago an alumnae fund was started as a memorial to Anna Bayha—as a memorial to her devotion to the home economics department, her untiring efforts in behalf of the stu dents with whom she came in contact and standard the high professional which she maintained at all times. About $300 was contributed by her many friends, students and different or ganizations as the Lansing and East Lansing Alumnae associations, the Col lege Home Economics club and Omicron Nu. This has been used to improve the appearance of the main hall in the home economics building with three attractive Old English benches and two chairs. A table was given by Mrs. James Boyd, a devoted friend. There is now about $60 on hand which will be used for further furnishings for the hall.

He had charge of field experiments dealing with farm crops. It was he who gave the first organized course in livestock judg ing in Michigan, and he planned one of the first large experiments in fattening sheep in the United States. In 1895 he left Michigan to take a professorship in agriculture at the Uni versity of Missouri. In 1903 he was made acting dean and director of the experimental station in the absence of Dean H. G. Waters. Upon the return of Dean Waters, he was granted a year's leave of absence for study abroad. Re turning to this country he was appointed professor of animal husbandry at the University of Missouri. Upon the resignation of Dr. Waters, Mumford was appointed to the dean- ship in 1909. Prominent among his many services is the organization of the Agricultural Extension service in 1913, and the founding of the livestock breed ing experiment station. His work was not limited to the col lege and extension service. In 1917-18 he was appointed chairman of the Mis souri Council of Defense; in the same years he was also Federal Food Ad ministrator for Missouri; the next year he went to France as a delegate to the Mission Americaine de Rapprochement. In the years 1909-1935 Mumford was a member of the Missouri State Board, of Agriculture, and since 1920 has been a member of the executive committee of the American association of Land grant colleges and universities. From 1913-1937 he was chairman of the committee on Projects and Correla tion of Research of the Association of land grant colleges and universities. From 1913-1938 he was a member of Mumford, '91 By Laura Tell, ' 38 FORTY-THREE years is a long time in any man's language, and when it is given over to outstanding service, it is especially worthy of recognition.

Mumford, '91, who is r e tiring next September as dean of the Missouri college of Agriculture. The COLLEGE FARMER is a magazine publish ed by the University of Missouri stu dents. After spending three years at Albion college, he entered Michigan Agricul tural college, as it was then called, in 1890 and received a bachelor of science degree. Upon his graduation he r e turned to his father's 400-acre farm near Moscow, Michigan, which he managed for a short time.

So wrote Liberty Hyde Bailey, '82, on his 80th birth day in response to a telegram of congratulations from President Robert S. Shaw on March 15. And these the spirit of adventure and exploration words typify that have made Dr. Bailey one of Michigan State's most distinguished alumni, the world renowned scie- tist, author, educator, and editor. As world authority on horticulture and botany, Dr. Bailey has been called the modern Luther Burbank. More than this, he is considered the successor of Emer son, Thoreau, and Burroughs in the artistic expression of life. Since his retirement as dean of agriculture at Cornell university in 1913, Dr. Bailey has devoted to building up his extensive plant collection, himself one of the largest private herbariums in the country, besides writing over 50 books on cultivated plants and gardens, and editing over 50 more. Six of the books selected for College Libraries" by Charles P. Shaw were written by Liberty Hyde Bailey. Moreover, he is regarded as the foremost living author and editor in the field of agricultural literature, and his Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture, and the more recent Hortus, in which his daughter collaborated, are standard authorities for all who work with plants. As editor of the American Garden Magazine, from 1890 to 1803, and first editor of Country Life in America, Dr. Bailey has become known as "The garden's best friend." the "List of Books for Three years ago, this "least photographed man of prom inence in America," as NEA termed him, turned over his famous Hortorium to Cornell university, and it is regarded as one of the most valuable scientific additions the university has ever acquired.. The fact that a new name—Hortorium— had to be coined to describe this complete and comprehensive collection of plants from all over the world is some indica tion of its unique importance. With the help of his daughter, Ethel Zoe Bailey, he spent over 30 years making frequent trips to South and Central America, New Zealand and other far corners of the world for the purpose of collecting his rare specimens. This col lection is all the more unique in that most botanical herbaria consist chiefly of wild flora, and pay little attention to the cultivated plants of the world. From the time he was a boy, roaming the fields and woods near the shores of Lake Michigan near South Haven, Liberty Hyde Bailey devoted himself to the study of botany and horti culture. The Bailey apple orchard, with its 195 varieties of apples, owed part of its fame to the diligence of young "Lib," whose father encouraged him to get every odd kind of apple that could be found and add it to their orchard. This hobby started young Bailey on his way to horticultural fame. At the age of 15 the young boy read an essay on birds before " . .. I am now ready for many new enterprises." the Michigan State Pomological Society in 1873. Included in this essay, which it is said, would have done credit to a college senior, was the first poem Bailey ever wrote. After his graduation from Michigan State college, where he received his M.S. degree, Dr. Bailey gave up a promising and paying position as newspaper reporter at Springfield, Illinois, to become laboratory assistant, on a bare sustenance, to Dr. Asa Gray, eminent botanist at Harvard university. Following two years of this he returned to Michigan State as professor of horticulture and landscape gardening. It was under his leadership that the old horticulture building, since used successively to house the economics department, liberal arts administrative offices, and now the psychology depart ment, was constructed. that many students took his courses just to hear him lecture, rather than for any special interest in his subject. It was also reported Three years later he was called to Cornell university as professor of horticulture, and in 1903 he became dean of agriculture. Fame had already recognized this promising the royal Horticultural Society of scientist London awarded him the Veitchian medal. in 1898 when In 1908 President Roosevelt appointed him chairman of the Country Life Commission, of which the President later wrote: "I regard that as on the whole the most important commission that I have appointed during my term as Presi dent, with one exception. I doubt if I should have under taken to appoint the commission if I had not been able to get Director Bailey for its head, and no man in our country did better work for our country than he did on the com mission." East Lansing, too, has paid tribute to this noted educator, whose favorite is "Study Nature — not books."

Kobs came up with a pair of sophomore pitchers in Glenn Rankin, of Detroit, and J. Ray Dahlstrom, of the southern Chicago, who handcuffed college batsmen. Each won two games as the team swept through a seven- game schedule without a defeat. Two games were rained out. A veteran infield, featuring that great double-play combination of last year, Captain Harper Scott at second base and Gene Ciolek on shortstop, proved to be the heart of the winning team. LeRoy Schiefler was on third and Sam Nuznov back at first base. Only one outfield berth troubled Coach Kobs He had John Kuk in center and Allen Diebold in right from last year's team, while Clyde (Red) Randall put on the catcher's equipment.
