Mr.  Beaumont  was  born  in  Elizabeth, 
New  Jersey,  July  20,  1858,  and  died 
eighty-fourth 
three  days  before  his 
birthday.  He  came  to  Michigan  in  1875 
and  was  graduated  from  the  college  in 
1882.  After  studying  law  under  private 
tutors,  he  was  admitted  to  the  bar  in 
Saginaw  in  1884.  Two  years  later  he

The  formal  dedication  of  the  memorial

Beaumont  asked  his  old  friend,  the  Hon. 
William  L.  Carpenter,  '75.  a  prominent 
Detroit  lawyer,  to  speak  about  the  gift. 
Judge  Carpenter  said,  "We  are  met  on 
the  site  of  Old  College  hall.  That  hall 
which  stood  here  from  the  time  the  col

For  in  it,  all  their  recitations  were  con

Old  friends,  college  classmates  and 
scores  of  younger  alumni  paused  in  their 
business  to  think  about  these  questions 
when  they  heard  the  news  that  John  W. 
Beaumont,  of  the  class  of  1882,  had  died 
at  his  home  in  Detroit,  on  Thursday, 
July  17,  1941, after  a  long  illness.  They 
remembered  that  he  and  Mrs.  Beaumont, 
who  survives  him,  had  donated 
the 
memorial  tower  which  now  stands  on  the 
site  of  Old  College  hall  and

Where  this  picture  came  from,  and by 
whom  it  was  taken,  is  a  mystery  to me, 
but  it  certainly  brings  back  to  memory 
the  many  pleasant  and  profitable  days 
spent  in  that  room  at  Michigan  State 
college,  days  which  will  never  be  for

Much  water  has  gone  over  the  dam

trying  to  compile,  for  my  family's  bene

well  described

important  place  in  this  biography,  as 
that  is  where  I  started  my  career,  which 
has  been  a  successful  one.  I  can  truth 
fully  say  that  the  principles  and  sound 
ideas,  which  I  was  taught  at  Michigan 
State,  have  stayed  with  me  through  the 
years,  and  have  helped  me,  in  no  small 
way,  toward  the  success  which  I  have 
achieved  in  a  business  way,  and  made 
it  possible  for  me  to  retire  at  the  age 
of  sixty-five  with  the  satisfaction  of  a

Retirements— 
Scheele,  Grantham 

The  retirement  of  Professor  A.  G. 
Scheele,  head  of  the  art  department  at 
Michigan  State  since  September  1,  1931, 
was  announced  recently  by 
the  State 
Board  of  Agriculture. 

Scheele's 

retirement,  because  of 

ill 
health,  removes  from  the  campus  one  of 
the  best  known  faculty  members.  His 
paintings  hang  in  many  of  the  dormi 
tories  and  administrative  offices. 

Professor  Scheele  came  to  the  college 
in  1918 as  associate  professor  of  drawing 
and  design,  and  in  1931  was  made  head 
of  the  art  department.  He  previously 
had  been  on  the  faculty  of  the  University 
of  Illinois  as  an  instructor  in  the  school 
of  architecture.  He  was  graduated  with 
the  A.B.  degree  in  1910  by  Oberlin  col 
lege  and  received  the  A.M.  degree  from 
the  same  institution  in  1911.  Professor 
the  Fountaine 
Scheele  also  attended 
in  France 
Bleau  School  of  Fine  Arts 
and  many  of  the  leading  art  schools  in 
the  United  States. 

His  summers  were  spent  on  the  New 
England  coast  where  many  of  his  best 
known  marine  paintings  were  made. 

Professor  Scheele 

is  a  member  of 
Kappa  Sigma  fraternity  and  for  several 
years  has  made  his  home  at  the  Kappa 
Sigma  house  in  East  Lansing. 

RECOGNIZED  as  an  authority  in  the 

management  of  soils  of  lighter  tex 
ture,  George  M.  Grantham,  associated 
with  Michigan  State  since  1914,  was 
retired  recently  because  of  ill  health.  At 
the  time  of  his  retirement  he  was  associ 
ate  professor  and  research  associate  in 
soils. 

Professor  Grantham  was  graduated 
from  the  University  of  Illinois  in  1914 
and  received  his  master's  degree  at  the 
University  of  Nebraska  in  1927. 

Said  Dr.  Millar,  head  of  the  depart

Fiction  Writer 

"Subject: 

Jack  Murphy,  alias  Mac-

Murragh,  class  of  '33." 

He's  the  gentleman  many  of  you  knew 
as  Jack  or  Murphy  back  in  1933.  Today 
Mr.  Murphy  is  establishing  a  reputation 
for  himself  as  a  fiction  writer.  On  two 
occasions  during 
few  years 
Murphy  succeeded  in  crashing  Collier's 
Magazine  with  "Teacher's  Pet"  and  "The 
Man  for  Aurora."  Both  were  the  "short, 
short  story  complete  on  this  page"  type, 
and  appeared  with 
the  by-line,  Jack 
MacMurragh. 

the  past 

In  requesting  information  from  Jack 
on  his  travels  and  writing  experiences 
since  he  left  Michigan  State,  Murphy 
commented:

and  Indiana.  Taught  night  school  one 
winter,  too;  and  served  a  hitch  in  an 
FERA 
junior  college.  Some  kicking 
around  I  have  done—not  much.  Mostly 
it's  been  just  going  from  one  place  to 
another  definite  place,  getting  there  as 
quickly  and  as  cheaply 
(hitching  by 
thumb  or  rail)  as  possible.  Most  of  my

"Kicking  around  I  wrote  a  little  here 
and  a  little  there:  Couldn't  sell  any  of  it 
because  none  of  it  was  worth  selling— 
though  I  tried.  Then  one  Christmas  I 
came  home  (Crystal  Falls)  from  a  gas 
job  in  Indiana  and  said,  'Nail  that  plate 
of  mine  right  on  the  table;  I  am  staying 
on  and  writing  a  novel.'  So  I  did  and 
couldn't  sell  it. 

"Tried  some  pulp  stuff  while  I  was 

at  it,  and  couldn't  sell  it.

"I  finally  began  selling  to  Collier's. 
That  sounds  as  though  all  I  had  to  do 
was  turn  it  out  and  they'd  buy  it.  Far 
from  the  truth,  though.  Right  now  I  am 
railroading, 
writing  short  stories  and

surviving  member  of  the  class  of 
1870,  who  held  the  title  of  "oldest  living 
graduate  of  Michigan  State  college," 
died  Sunday,  January  11, at  his  home  in 
Cassopolis,  Michigan.  He  was 
born 
April  24,  1851,  on  the  Reynolds'  farm 
west  of  Cassopolis,  and  was  nearly  91 
at  the  time  of  his  death. 

On  April  19,  1940,  about  150  of  his 
friends  and  neighbors  gave  a  public 
testimonial  dinner  in  his  honor,  recog 
nizing  his  years  of  useful  service  in  the 
community.  Officials  of  the  college  and 
the  Alumni  association  used  that  occa 
sion  to  present  the  Kedzie  alumni  cane  to 
him.  This  was  shortly  after  the  death 
of  Daniel  Strange,  '69,  who  was  the  first 
graduate  to  receive  the  cane.

Reynolds  spent  most  of  his  90  years  in 
service 
to  his  community.  Although 
farming  occupied  some  of  his  time,  it 
was  in  the  field  of  engineering  that  he 
found  his  true  vocation. 
In  the  early 
eighties  he  designed  and  patented  a  tele 
phone  that  led  to  the  establishment  of 
a  local  exchange.  For  many  years  sur 
veying  was  his  chief 
interest  and  few 
men  in  southwestern  Michigan  can  equal 
his  record  as  a  public  servant  in  this  field. 
He  enjoyed  training  young  men  in  sur 
veying  while  filling  the  office  of  county 
surveyor. 

Mr.  Reynolds 

served  Cassopolis  as 
president,  as 
township  supervisor,  and 
was  strong  in  his  Masonic  affiliations. 
He  attended  the  Patriarchs'  club  luncheon 
at  the  college  on  Alumni  Day  whenever 
his  health  permitted.  He  is  survived  by

in  the  first  11  games,  but  he  was  getting 
help 
from  Bill  Burk,  guard;  Dudley 
Jones,  forward;  Chet  Aubuchon,  guard, 
and  Mel  Peterson,  guard.  All  were 
scoring  well.  One  of  the  year's  pleasant 
developments  was  the  improved  play  of 
Fred  A.  Stone,  Jr.,  of  Chicago.  Members 
of  the  class  of  1912  should  prick  up  their 
ears  here,  for  Fred  is  a  son  of  Fred  A. 
Sr.,  who  served  as  captain  of  an  Aggie 
team.  Fred  is  playing  brilliantly,  using 
his  six-feet-six  stature  to  good  advan 
tage.  Aubuchon,  ill  last  year,  has  made 
a  comeback,  but  is  being  used  sparingly 
in  view  of  the  desperate  fight  he  made 
to  regain  his  health. 

Track 

The  track  situation  appears  improved 
over 
last  year  when  Coach  Karl  A. 
Schlademan's  team  was  unable  to  win  a 
dual  meet.  Captain  Walter  Arrington, 
the  one-man  track  team,  has  graduated, 
but  there  appears  sufficient  strength  in 
the  ranks  to  compensate  for  his  loss. 
Bruce  W.  Drynan,  of  Elmhurst,  111., 
weight  man,  is  captain  this  year.  One 
of  the  brightest  indoor  track  schedules 
State  has  ever  had  includes  home  meets

who  may  blossom  beyond  expectations. 

Wrestling

Wrestling  is  claiming  a  good  deal  of 
attention,  for  Coach  Fendley  Collins  has 
back  in  the  fold  the  national  champion 
wrestling  twins  from  Tulsa,  Oklahoma, 
Merle  and  Burl  Jennings.  The  grapplers, 
although 
the 
145-pound  165-pound  and  the  light  heavy 
weight  divisions,  won  their  first 
three 
matches  from  Kansas  State,  Michigan, 
and  Wheaton.  Bill  Maxwell,  the  runner-
up  to  a  national  title  at  145  pounds  last 
year,  suffered  a  shoulder  dislocation  in 
training  and  may  be  lost  for  the  season. 
The  Jennings'  boys  are  waiting  for  their 
call  to  the  Army  Air  Corps  after  passing 
their  tests.  The  big  wrestling  news,  of 
course,  is  that  the  National  Collegiate 
championships  will  be  held  in  Jenison 
Fieldhouse  on  March  27-28. 

There  was  plenty  of  speed  and  skill  displayed  on  the  Jenison  Field  floor  when  the  Fort  Custer 
cagers  came  to  State.  Of  Coach  VanAlstyne's  men  you  see,  Chet  Aubuchon,  No.  3,  and  Joe  Gerard, 
No.  4,  Dudley  Jones,  No.  6,  William  Burk,  No.  7.  The  score,  50-29,  a  Spartan  victory.

Battle  Creek  Public  schools  where,  for 
six  years,  he  guided  the  junior  and  senior

was  undefeated  all  six  years;  his  senior

then 
returned
