Shaw hurled for the Guelph (Ontario) »" high school baseball team, his favorite pitch was the speed ball. And when his catcher showed no fear in snag ging the ball as it streaked across the plate, young Bob had worlds of control. But just as soon as his battery mate feared those blazing fast ones, Bob's control blew sky high. Throughout his life R. S. Shaw, who celebrated his tenth year as President of Michigan State college on May 22, has applied this principle learned on the baseball diamond. When his teammates "played ball" with him nearly every pitch was a strike. Today Mr. Shaw reflects upon a very success ful season. Replacing Kenyon L. Butterfield on the administration mound in February, 1928, Mr. Shaw served three and one- half months as acting president before being signed as a regular starter. The first batter he faced was a particularly tough customer by the name of "General Depression." The "General" had chalked up a batting average in the form of a $224,000 overdraft against the college. The "Gen eral's" teammates were yelping for a homer that would have closed the doors of the college forever. But President Shaw'i battery mate was experienced. He called for the fast one. Over came the announcement of a $480,000 reserve fund, one that the President had been saving for just such a crisis. The "General" was out, and Mr. Shaw was well on his way to an extended winning streak. Other notable "strikes" include the placing of the college on the approved list of the American Association of Univer sities on November 15, 1931. Following this came the ad mission to the American Association of University Women. To care for the increase of more than 2,000 students in the last decade, the President has sponsored an extensive building and improvement program. Completion of Sarah Langdon Williams dormitory for women last fall paved the way for remodeling the former Women's building into offices and classrooms. A new men's dormitory, Stevens T. Mason Hall, will be dedicated next fall. Also completed during the 10-year period were the Union Building annex, Anatomy building, Macklin Field enlargement, Band Shell and re modeling of many offices. Of great importance to Mr. Shaw has been the intensive beautification program that recently led the Michigan Horti cultural society to name the campus as second only to Cor nell in natural splendor. Addition of departments has been in line with the Presi dent's administration tactics. Among these were Publica tions, Speech, Languages, Art, Hotel Management, Music, and Physical Education for Women. Re-establishment of the farm management department was the chief change in the agri cultural division. Creation of the graduate school, with Dr. Ernst A. Bessey as dean, has been accompanied by enlargement of library facilities to meet research demands. Many noted educators have since received advance degrees at East Lansing. Addi tion and expansion of the summer school under the direction of Professor S. E. Crowe, has facilitated advanced study. More than 300 courses comprise the 1938 session extending (Turn to page 15) from June 20 to July 29.

In this capacity he conducted individual research in feeding variations and development of tractor tests as an aid to the farmer. One of the first great highlights of his career came in 1909 with his nomination as first dean of the newly formed Col lege of Agriculture. In 1917 his Alma Mater conferred upon him the honorary degree of doctor of science. During the World War he was a mem ber of the American Educational Corps, and was placed in charge of agricultural lectures in the first army of the Amer ican Expeditionary forces at the Uni versity of Beaune, France. Dr. Burnett became president of the American Association of Land-Grant colleges in 1925. The next year he step ped out of the strictly educational line by accepting an appointment to director ship of the Federal Land Bank in Oma ha. In 1927 he became acting president of the University of Nebraska and later president. C. I.

Auten, '05, a former vice president of the Truscon Steel Co. of Youngstown, Ohio, who now has join ed the Tennessee Coal, Iron & Railroad company. With the Tennessee company, Mr. Auten will be responsible for the co ordination of development of steel for new purposes, with particular regard to low-cost housing. Graduated from Michigan State with a bachelor of science degree in 1905, Mr. Auten returned in 1913 to obtain his de gree in civil engineering. After college he first spent a year and a half in the railroad engineering field. He later joined the Cambria Steel Co., Johnstown, Pennsylvania, and then the Osborn Engineering Co., Cleveland, where he specialized in structural engi neering. Mr. Auten spent the next four years as city engineer of Flint, Michigan, dur ing the boom attending the rise of the automobile manufacturing industry. He then started his 24-year career with the Truscon company, a period in which he rose from draftsman to vice president, in charge of development and marketing of new products of steel—joists, stand ardized steel buildings, steel roof decks and units of steel in house construction.

In 1931 Ridler was a member of the M. S. C. grid squad that set the football world agog with an upset victory over Colgate, which until then had had Rose Bowl aspirations. The Spartans previ ously had started their great 1931 record by holding Michigan, national cham pions, to a scoreless tie. As a result of his football perform ances during his senior year, Ridler re ceived honorable mention for All- American honors, was picked on Knute Rockne's All-Midwestern eleven, and was chosen by Bob Zuppke to play with the Midwest All-Stars at the Dixie classic in Dallas, Texas. The 210-pound, six-foot player then went to Cleveland in the National Pro fessional league. Following this he re turned to coach and play with the Indians, an independent pro fessional team. In 1934 he became head coach at Annunciation high. to Detroit At Lawrence Tech, Ridler, as coach, will face the toughest schedule in the college's history.

After you have read THE Taylors are becoming a tradi tion at Michigan State. Three suc cessive generations of this same family have attended the college. Dr. W. A. Taylor, retired chief of the Department of Agriculture Bureau of Plant Indus try, received his bachelor of science degree in 1888; his son, Porter Ross Taylor, now located in the section of general crops for the Agricultural Ad justment Administration, was granted his B.S. degree in agriculture in 1915, and the grandson, Hugh Taylor, expects to be graduated from the Applied Sci ence division in 1941. Dr. W. A. Taylor, a native of Sauga- the tuck, Michigan, was retired from Department of Agriculture's largest scientific bureau in January, 1934, after 42 years of service. After graduation Dr. Taylor managed a Michigan fruit farm for three years, returning to his alma mater in 1913 to receive his doctorate of science. In 1891 he entered the U. S. Department of Agriculture division of pomology. When this division was reorganized to form the Bureau of Plant Industry in 1901 he was placed in charge of pomo- logical field investigations. In 1909 Dr. Taylor was advanced to the position of assistant chief of the bureau and in 1913 became its chief, heading a scientific staff of more than 600 investigators of plant problems.

In 1904 he was a member of the inter national jury of horticulture at the St. Louis Exposition. conferred His son, Porter Ross Taylor, has also served in the federal agricultural service for many years. He started his post-college career as a fruit farmer, located near Douglas, Michigan. After a few months he left the farm to enter the dealer's service department of the California Fruit Growers association, with offices in Philadelphia. The following year he was named to a position in the Providence, Rhode Is land, division, Bureau of Markets, U. S. later Department of Agriculture. He served as manager for a year of the Providence Farmers' Exchange. In 1923 P. R. Taylor moved the scene of his activities to the Bureau of Mar kets of the Pennsylvania State Depart ment of Agriculture. He continued in Hugh Taylor, '41, student in the applied science division. industrial chemistry or bacteriology for a career in research. When ques tioned on how he liked M. S. C, Hugh replied, "It's one of the prettiest cam puses I have ever seen. The only criti cism I have to make is that Michigan topography is much too flat. Couldn't do any skiing last winter." "And by the way," Hugh added, "I have a brother, Porter, Jr., who has just completed the eighth grade. He'll be here in five years. Visit Campus Hugh was not the only representative of the Taylor family on the campus during Alumni day activities. His grandfather and grandmother arrived on the campus from Columbus, Ohio, to visit their grandson and do a little reminiscing with members of Dr. Tay lor's class and other acquaintances. Page 7 Let's Journey Thru Library You Will Find New Periodical Room, Special Reading Halls, And An Increased Staff IN line with the growth of M. S. C. the recert expansion of has been the college than library. With more 5000 students clamoring for reading and research facilities, library officials dur ing the past year have adopted every available means the service. enlarging for the from room Moving the president's office and the State Board second floor of the library to the Administra tion building made space for a new periodical reading room, containing more than 1,000 magazines and newspapers. Before the new periodical room was added during the fall term of 1937, stu dents did their magazine and news paper reading in a small room on the floor. This room has been con first verted into an assigned reading room annex, connected with the main reserve reading desk by a new entrance cut through the adjoining wall. To care for the students who can not be accommodated during the peak hours in the assigned and main reading rooms on the first and second floors, two new study halls have been established in the basement. One, on the walls of which interesting collection of old hangs an maps, is connected to an annex origi nally a storeroom. Students read in these rooms under the honor system, for there are no desk attendants. Space formerly occupied by the Wol verine yearbook office in the basement has been converted into a duplicate magazine room where duplicate period icals are assembled for possible ex change with other college libraries. Six tiers of stacks shelve the majority of the library volumes in the west wing of the building. With 126,400 volumes already housed on the six tiers, only about one-fifth of the space on the aver age stack shelf remains for expansion. Consequently, wooden racks have been installed in the attic for bound volumes of newspapers formerly located on the tiers. There is space in the attic for about 7,000 books and magazines. When the attic racks are filled, and 7,000 more volumes have been added on the regu lar tiers, expansion will have reached its limit. One new case, providing 300 drawers, has been added to the card catslogue file at the main circulation desk. In stead of lining the walls as formerly, the file is now located in the center of the room for greater convenience. Even the main reading room reflects the new strain on library facilities. The cases around the walls, for generally used books such as encyclopedias and dictionaries, are now filled to capacity. A trained member of the staff of the reference department is now on duty at the main reading room desk during every open hour. Expansion has necessitated an in creased library staff. During the last year four new members have been added. Miss Marjorie Vivian, who be came associate librarian at the beginning of fall term, received her the University of A.B. degree reference from Numerous changes were made in the library during the past year. Below you see a sec tion of the periodical room which up until last fall was known as the president's office.

She formerly served as a member of library staff of Mt. the Holyoke college. The second assistant cataloguer, Miss Frances Barnett, received her A.B. at the University of Michigan in 1936 and her B.S. in Library Science at Western Reserve university in 1937. She served as clerical assistant at the University of Michigan to her ap library prior pointment. Miss Elizabeth Read has been added to the staff as assistant in charge of the assigned reading room.

Reserved reading, bugaboo of under graduates, showed an annual circula tion last year of 191,927 charges. This year, long lines at the desk during peak hours foreshadow no decrease the total circulation. Assigned readings in the graduate study reached nearly the 4,000 figure last year. in With the continual addition of new volumes to meet ever increasing de mands, expansion at the Michigan State college library fast approaches its limit. How this problem will be solved in the future is now the particular worry of the library committee and head librarian, Jackson E. Towne.

Federal Money Aids Building Program At State A BUILDING program for Michigan State college totaling $3,302,000— with a direct cost to Michigan taxpayers of only $72,500—is seen in a combination of the college's self-financing dormitory construction program and PWA and WPA projects. three new dormitories, Newest step in the college's building and improvement plan, which already is a includes proposed PWA building program for construction of a hospital, veterinary science clinic addition, and another men's dormitory. One projected WPA program will give the campus and college farm new roads, bridges, drainage and grading worth approximately $1,100,000. The Federal aid projects were approv ed at recent meetings of the State Board of Agriculture, and await Federal ap proval to put them into operation. Com munications from Washington, Secretary John Hannah said today, indicate con struction will begin as soon as the new Federal spending program into operation. is set The proposed hospital is on a "pre ferred" list, and is expected to be the C O L L E GE R E C O RD first college building constructed with PWA aid. Two dormitories, housing more than 600 women students, already are com pleted, and are being paid for through self-liquidating bond issues. Bonds will be retired in 1945 on Mary Mayo hall, women's dormitory, and the $425,000 structure will be owned entirely by the state, without cost to taxpayers. Bonds on a newer women's dormitory, Sarah in Langdon Williams, will be paid off 1952, and the bond issue on the new Stevens T. Mason hall for men, now nearing completion, will be liquidated the same year. Through another self-liquidating bond issue, the college will finance its part— 55 per cent—of the cost of a second new men's dormitory, with PWA providing 45 per cent of the total cost of $500,000. To finance the construction of a stu dent hospital and health center the State Board of Agriculture approved a borrowing of $137,500, to cover the col lege's part of the total cost of $250,000. Obligations will be retired over a 10- year period, $16,000 in student fees be ing set aside annually to pay interest costs and retirement of bonds. The PWA portion of the hospital cost will be $112,500, or 45 per cent of the total. Only actual cost to the state in the entire building program—including con struction completed and proposed im provements—will be $25,000 provided by the college toward the $1,100,000 WPA work program, and $47,500, the college's share of the total cost of $120,000 for the veterinary clinic addition. "Although the building program will relieve housing congestion, and improve hospital facilities," Hannah said, "the program does not permit construction of classroom and laboratory buildings or an auditorium. Construction is lim ited, with exception of the veterinary science clinic, to buildings which may be self-financed. "The need for state-financed build ings, to provide for the rapidly growing student body at Michigan State college is nearly as great as ever," Hannah ex plained. Enrollment figures of 1930 and 1937- 38 show the M.S.C. enrollment has in creased from a total of 3,939 different students in 1930 to 6,351 different stu dents in the 1937-38 school year.

When the boys cleared out of the gym for the last time the past season they left behind them records that brighten, the pages of Spartan history. The year was one of the best. The baseball team finished with 15 victories egainst nine defeats despite a losing streak of five straight in mid-season that was traced to illness and injury.

Frank Murphy of Michi gan told 638 graduates of Michigan State college at the 80th annual com mencement exercises on June 13.

"Today's graduate is the inheritor of a state that has been badly mismanaged in the past," the governor said. "It will to provide better be his requirement management, better planning, this country rich in natural resources and native capabilities." in Picturing the world as a "rather sorry picture, with Europe in turmoil and the forces of recovery stalled, at least tem porarily at home," Governor Murphy urged the seniors to recognize the reality they must face. "You can not ration alize nor ignore conditions—conditions that sow seeds of discontent and political disorder," he added. Graduates should have a sense of moral obligation to protect those who failed in the highly competitive struggle for existence under a system which is "at best, imperfect," the speaker stated. "It is you who will bring strength and succor to an older generation wearied of struggle and depressed by worry and defeat." The governor took hope from the fact that youth welcomes rather than fears change and predicted that society would benefit by a new vision of truth and beauty, new conceptions of order and justice unclouded and uncorrupted by long familiarity with distortions and un holy compromises." Enlarging upon his keynote of sac rificing toward the common good, Frank Murphy declared that "In the nature of things, we cannot all share equally in fruits of our the 638 Receive Degrees Governor Murphy Urges Graduates To Sacrifice For T he Common Good; Many Alumni Return For Commencement Activities Held In Band Shell By Norman Kenyon, '38 common effort; but we can find ways to ameliorate the extreme hardships in inequalities which plague many of our citizens." that "if He continued it be agreed that an economic system works more or less according to natural law, that does not make it sacred nor deprive govern ment of the right to intervene in its workings."

Joseph Bell Cotton, '86, promi Page 14 nent New York city lawyer, gave the last talk on the program, stirring old grads to a new height of devotion to the college and urging everyone to return annually for the Patriarch's meeting. The different class reunions proved to be a big drawing card for the alumni. Largest attendance of any one class went to 1923, back for its 15th reunion, while the silver anniversary reunion of 1913 ran a close second with more than 80 at the luncheon.

These in clude the military department, com petitive athletics, health service, regis trar, publications, and the library. Mr. Shaw acts as dean of this division. Sensing the complex situations aris ing from the greatly augmented en rollment, President Shaw deemed it necessary to appoint someone to con duct research in the coordination of academic routine. He chose Lloyd C. Emmons, present dean of Liberal Arts, to the position of research professor of institutional administration. In this capacity Mr. Emmons devoted time to the analysis and preparation of rec ommendations looking to the solution of difficulties in the details of academic organization and administration. Throughout all these changes Mr. Shaw has subordinated his greatest lova — agriculture — to the interests of the college in general. Yet, in his spare time he managed to look after his fruit located near East farm and nursery Lansing. On this farm which he calls "an old man's plaything," he conducts horticultural experiments. Most of his apples, 300 bushels in 1937, he gives to students visiting at his office and home. Some day President Robert S. Shaw plans to retire to that farm, there to complete things he had those always planned to do." But as he picks his apples he will live content with the thought that Michigan State college, through wise administration, has at last come into its own.

Of even greater interest has been the spread of the college's reputation as an outstand ing educational and cultural institution. The 1937-38 record enrollment of 5,547 lists students from 41 states and eight foreign countries. To aid in the "broad ening" coincident to a college education, the student concert course this year in cluded such well known artists as Josef Hoffman and Marion Anderson.
