But the five-day program which began Monday, Jan. 30, and continued through Friday, Feb. 3, attracted sufficient sturdy visitors, 25,000 of them, to keep this Michigan event Number One of its kind in the United States. All of which proves one point which is a credit to the It proves that college and to the agriculture of the state. the agricultural division and the extension service of Michi gan State college have proved their worth through service to the state and that farmers throughout Michigan are aware of this service and the facilities available to them. Instances? They abound. One of the most interesting tales of the recent Farmers' Week relates to one of Michigan's country gentlemen. He is L. D. Creesoe, a Detroit engineer who several years ago purchased a farm in Cheboygan county near Aloha. He has stocked it with some purebred horses and purebred Here ford beef cattle. At Farmers' Week with his son, he approached E. L. Ben ton, college livestock specialist, for some advice on a good breed of sheep for his farm. Benton told him that in view of his proximity to raiding coyotes, Creesoe ought to get a breed that is noted for fleet- ness of foot, the Hampshires for instance. Along came D. L. Chapman, South Rockwood, president of the Michigan Purebred Sheep Breeders' association. Benton introduced them. Chapman's reply to the question was that any of three breeds might suit. Creesoe might fare about as well if he flipped a coin. So Creesoe had his son flip a coin. Heads, Hampshires— tails would be Shropshires. The coin turned tails up, so the Creesoes left Michigan State college with nine of the highest priced Shropshires sold in the annual bred ewe sale held as part of Farmers' Week.

Left to right, Mrs. H. D. Woodworth, holding breed trophy, Lawrence Woodworth on lead, and H. D. Woodworth, Char lotte, owner. In other departments similar anecdotes of service filtered through the week. In agricultural engineering the staff had prepared a new version of a round roof brooder house constructed with vapor sealed insulating material. Hundreds strolled in and out of this structure set up near Demonstration hall. Plans are not printed, although they soon will be, but the depart ment took the names of more than 650 who want these plans as soon as they can be mailed. The Bulletin room in the basement of Agricultural hall had its usual flow of steady customers. The average caller wanted three bulletins. About 5,000 copies were handed out during the five days, with surprising emphasis placed on landscaping and a definite popularity for bulletins on poultry and hybrid corn. The hybrid corn problem is a phase of the farm crops department's program of service that is happily being solved. The staff members feared farmers would fall victims of seed salesmen offering hybrid seed not adapted to various areas in Michigan. But the farmers are taking informa tion from the college service. During Farmers' Week, two new bulletins on hybrid corn found more than a thou sand demands. these Muck farmers brought in soil samples to Dr. Paul M. Harmer, as he had offered to test samples as a sideline feature dur ing Samples three afternoons. numbered forty, and another group of farmers went home with fertilizer rec ommendations, their trips to the col lege likely to pay big dividends. In 1938 this muck soil testing service of the col lege put through 2,011 samples. If you can imagine 1,102 bushels of onions, grown on one acre of soil, you can picture the job one man did in win ning one of the typical titles bestowed during the week. He is Alex Bulatow, Omer, Mich. E. L. Anthony, dean of agriculture, served as he has since he was named dean, as general chairman for the Farm ers' Week program. R. W. Tenny, short course director, was chairman of the program committee. i OULTRY served as the special theme It was selected as one of this year. the state's major agricultural industries. Although Michigan can wear no na tional crown in poultry, the state can point to an annual income of approxi mately 45 million dollars from the sale of eggs and meat. The dean considers the attendance not in the light of the record for which it is for the nation, but as a compli ment to the service of the agricultural division of the college. In addition to the instruction offered in agriculture as one of the six divisions of the college, the agricultural staff serves through the Michigan Experiment station, directed by V. R. Gardner, and through the ex tension service, headed by R. J. Baldwin. Scheduled events during the five days totalled 165. Departments offering pro grams farm crops, agricultural engineering, forestry, 4-H club state office, animal husbandry, horticulture, landscape gardening, home and economics, farm management included poultry, soils, dairying — all service departments as well as instructional.

Said Dean Anthony: "When 25,000 farmers from all parts of the state brave snow, blizzard, and ice to spend a few days gaining new ideas, helpful in their farm problems, it is a significant sign that rural people are on the march for information. "When these same farmers bring hundreds of samples of soil and feed with them to be analyzed, it is a more certain sign that farm ers in Michigan appreciate the services of the Agricultural division and for accurate assistance. rely upon it "When farmers more than 100,000 strong visit the campus during the year and spend countless hours laboratories and demon strations, it is again a sign of progress for the agriculture of Michigan. in taking courses "When some 30 per cent of the Short Course in agriculture lawyers, and bankers the to the land and an appreciation students now are sons of doctors, from trend back of the security which land affords. is a certain sign of the cities, it "When more than 50 per cent of the farms for in Michigan are wired or being wired labor saving and convenience de electrical vices, it is an indication that farm living in Michigan is keeping pace with city standards.

Ransom F. Aldrich, president of the Mississippi Farm bureau, came from Mississippi State, Miss., to plead for more cooperating in conducting federal farm programs of production and marketing. If the south can live with an adequate income from its present agriculture, he prophesied greater markets for north ern industry and less dangers of com petition with northern dairy herds, poultry flocks and livestock production. Dr. J. Preston Bradley, pastor of the People's church in Chicago, added in spiration with his talk on "The Chal lenge of Americanism". He sought con structive thought and action instead of the harmful effects of critical programs by groups and individuals. H. S. Patton, head of the department of economics, offered his prediction on the effect of trade agreements on Michi gan agriculture. He ventured that a Canadian pact offers benefits to Michi gan above those of other states, because of proximity and earlier maturing here of fruits and vegetables. Some of the thousands at Farmers' Week came to be entertained. Many came to compete for championships in livestock feeding and crops production. But by the scores and hundreds there were individuals who have had some problem in mind that they could bring along to the campus and get solved to some degree during Farmers' Week.

S c, '17, head of the University of Nebraska for the past eleven years, and a member of its faculty for thirty-nine years, has re tired at his own request from active leadership of one of the largest educa tional institutions in the country to be come chancellor emeritus. Announce ment of his immediate retirement at the age of 72 was made by the regents at the same time as their announcement of the appointment of Dr. C. S. Boucher of Morgantown, W. Va., as the new chancellor. Chancellor Burnett informed the uni versity board of regents several months ago of his desire to relinquish active leadership of the state university be cause of the increasing strain and de mands of the position. For more than a third of a century Chancellor Burnett has been associated with the University of Nebraska, and has been long a leader in the agricul tural and educational life of Nebraska. Born in Hartland, Michigan, he was graduated from Michigan State college in 1887 and thirty years later received the honorary degree of doctor of science from the same institution. He received an honorary doctor of letters degree from Nebraska Wesleyan in 1933. Before and after his graduation he taught in the rural schools of Michigan, and in 1889 became an assistant in agri in the college from which he culture was graduated. In 1894 he was mana ger of extensive farms in Canada, and in 1896 became professor of animal husbandry in the South Dakota State college.

During several the past years he has been faced with the prob lem of an ever increasing student body, the now the largest in the history of school, with appropriations but little higher than 1933. During his decade of administration the university took over the school of music and developed it into one of the academic schools of the university. To the graduate meet present conditions school of social work was inaugurated in 1937. The University of Nebraska foundation, to secure and administer gifts to the university, was the result of one of the chancellor's dreams. Chancellor Burnett is a member of Sigma Xi, Phi Beta Kappa, Alpha Zeta, Gamma Sigma Delta, American Asso ciation for the Advancement of Science, and Kiwanis club. He was president of the Association of Land Grant col leges from 1925 to 1926 and president of the National Association of State universities in 1937.

Dirks, of the engineering division, accompanied Donald C. McSor- ley, '38, to the annual meeting of the American Society of Mechanical en the gineers early convention Mr. McSorley received a $25 award for the best paper submit ted from students of all colleges in the country. Mr. McSorley wrote on "Vapor Transmission Through Building Mat erials." While in New York Dean Dirks and Mr. McSorley met with a group of Michigan State alumni for luncheon at the Biltmore Transportation club. Those present were: H. E. Aldrich, '33; Lt. L. K.

Mr. and Mrs. Hill arrived at their new post early last December. leave of a year's Bob Linton... Named Registrar; Graduated in 1916, Taught At Owosso, Then Joined Faculty Here R OBERT S. LINTON, 16, is the new registrar at Michigan State col lege. He succeeds Elida Yakeley, who, at present, is completing a 30,000 mile journey around the world, a descrip tion of which appeared in the December issue of the Record. Miss Yakeley, at her own request, was granted a six month's leave of ab sence early last fall by the State Board of Agriculture. It was also at her own that she was relieved of her request responsibility as college registrar. Pro fessor Linton was her choice to carry on the duties of the office. Miss Yake ley will return to the campus in April, when she will continue her associations with Michigan State until she reaches her retirement age. Professor Linton assumes his new re sponsibilities with much information about school communities in Michigan. For seven years during the winter term he traveled to almost every Michigan school having a department in voca tional education. This he did to de termine whether or not the school was eligible for financial aid from the Smith- Hughes federal fund. While visiting these schools, Registrar Linton became acquainted with principals and superin tendents, members of Boards of Educa tion, and leaders of community organi zations who frequently call upon him to speak at banquets and luncheons. "The information I gathered this way," says Mr. Linton, "is playing an important role now. When a student from Dowagiac or Cheboygan comes to my office to enroll I know his high school, his community, and I might even I establish a know some of his kin. personal contact with the student im mediately, and that helps tremendously right. in getting You see, each applicant for admission to the college is an individual case, and this office is interested in helping the new student to become properly ad justed to his new environment." the student started But Professor Linton has another rea son for knowing Michigan well.

Fol lowing his graduation from college he taught at Owosso for eight years when he accepted a position as critic teacher in the department of education at Mich this position he also igan State. In assumed the role of vocational adviser to freshmen students. In 1928 Mr. Linton became assistant professor of education, in 1931 he re ceived his master's degree from the University of Michigan, and in 1936 he was promoted to associate professor of education. In August, 1937, he was appointed assistant registrar. Registrar Linton spends much of his time out in the state talking to high school assemblies, parent teachers' asso ciations, civic clubs, and Y organiza tions. He is considered an authority on vocational guidance and in that capa city he has turned down several more lucrative positions in preference to the "The reason," position he now holds. says Mr. Linton, "I am too happy in this kind of work, so why be concerned about something else." Professor Linton is a member of the of Collegiate American Association registrars, the National Education asso ciation, the American Vocation associa tion, and a life member of the Michi gan Association of Agricultural teachers. Mr. and Mrs. Linton, daughter Lucile and son Robert live in their beautiful farm home four miles east of the cam pus on Highway Ml6, and two miles south. Teach Practical Cou rses, Say Graduates to £*RADUATES of the liberal arts divi- ^•^ sion of Michigan State college since the granting of the first liberal arts de grees in 1925 are emphatic in their be lief that more vocational and practical courses should be added the col lege curriculum. This conclusion was reached recently by Dean L. C. Emmons after examining more than 600 returns from approximately 1800 questionnaires sent to all graduates of his division. It was based on the question: "Would you recommend more fundamental and cul tural courses or more vocational and practical courses for the curriculum?" inclusion in Sixty-eight per cent of the liberal arts and music graduates and 78 per cent of the hotel and business administration students recommended the addition of more vocational and practical courses to the curriculum. Twenty and 16 per cent of these groups, respectively, sug gested more fundamental and cultural courses. Twelve and 6 per cent said the curriculum should not be changed. Ans wers leading to these facts are undoubt edly based on the graduate's concep tion of the curriculum when he was on the campus. Since that time many new courses have been added and many re visions made. In psychology alone at one time only four courses were offered. twenty courses are Today more offered in psychology and philosophy. than Other information was revealed in the survey designed to get information from the graduate on his present employ initial initial work, relation of ment, work to his college major, number of changes in employment, his income, and the need for curriculum changes. Close relationships existed between suggestions improvement curriculum and the field of activity of the graduate. A graduate teaching French suggested courses in conversational French, a business administration graduate wanted more courses in salesmanship. However, many of those answering the question naire expressed a need for typing and shorthand and more guidance during their college careers. Both of these are receiving major consideration from the college administration. Figures indicated there was a need for the college to be more active in its efforts to assist graduates to secure positions. Forty-five per cent of the liberal arts and music students and 54 per cent of the hotel and business administration students said their own efforts were initial position. their responsible Thirty per cent and 20 per cent, respect ively, said the college assisted, 22 per cent of both groups said friends were influential, and 3 and 4 per cent secured aid through other channels. for At present 41 per cent of the liberal arts and music students and 58 per cent of the hotel and business administra tion students would be willing to ac cept a better position. Of these same groups 37 per cent and 10 per cent, respectively, have done some graduate work in various colleges and universi ties. Initial incomes and present incomes of the liberal arts and music students and hotel and business administration stu dents revealed a remarkable similarity.

It may be that there is reason for the tendency to lose this year. Razing of the gym nasium annex, the "gym" to many of you old timers, to make room for the construction of the new music center, resulted in packing more classes into a gymnasium that was already bursting at the seams. There was scarcely room for the teams to work out in practice. But across the Red Cedar there's ac that presages brighter chapters tivity in State's sports history.

Many are in research laboratories, some are technicians, while others are connected with chemical con cerns in sales, personnel, secretarial and other capacities. With a major and two teaching minors and the required edu cation courses, a large number of sci ence students have chosen the field of teaching. Physical education majors are prepared for and are filling teach ing, coaching and recreational positions. The individual departments encour age the interest and progress among students with the organization of honor ary societies. The staff members are urged to continue study in their par ticular fields and, as a result, a goodly number of textbooks and manuals by Michigan State men are used on the campus and elsewhere. Scientific maga zines carry frequent articles by faculty members of the division. The national meetings in the different fields always call representatives of the staff, who contribute with articles and discussions. Sportscripts Miles W.
