We must develop a pattern of international association which will give self-governing nations time and opportunity to work out the implications of democratic living. We cannot allow an interruption by war every generation. "Once upon a time our democracy was only a dream — some said a forlorn hope. None the less, that dream has been coming true. It is high time to dream again — a dream of democracy in uni versal terms. Who knows — the world may wake some morning to find that it has come true." Other commencement highlights fol low. 1.

National Study Members of the department of farm management are making a survey of the potential capacities of Michigan farms to produce food for the United Nations. Under the general chairman ship of Prof. Elton B. Hill, '15, head of the the department of farm management, the committee will complete the study by July 31. The survey was requested by the fed eral department of agriculture as part of a national food study which aims at maximum capacity by 1946. Chairman of the working committee which is col is Herbert A. Berg, lecting statistics extension associate professor of farm management. Michigan results will be coordinated with other North Central states' esti mates by Ross Baumann, of the Bureau of Agricultural Economics. Vets Handle 200,000 Clinic Cases Almost 200,000 clinic cases and tests were handled by the division of veterin ary medicine last year, according to a report issued recently by Dr. Ward Gilt- ner, dean of the division. Included in the figure were 689 autopsies, 12,685 clinical cases, and thousands of tests for stock diseases like brucellosis (un- dulant fever) and Bang's disease. The most important research achieve ment was the development, under the di rection of Dr. I. F. Huddleson, '25, of an immunizing agent against undulant fever. Studies were also conducted on farm procedures as they affect quality and quantity of milk. Two hundred cc's of brucellin were sent to Malta, and 500 cc's of bruceller- gin went to Mexico. The drugs are used in the testing and treatment of brucel losis in human beings. The M.S.C. lab oratory is the only one in the country licensed to manufacture and sell brucel lin for treatment of the disease in per sons. Dean Giltner's report also showed an impressive service record for the divis ion, with 20 per cent of the living grad uates now in the armed forces. Four New Department Heads Four departments are or will soon be operating under new heads, following actions by the State Board of Agricul ture during the past few months. The concerned are anatomy, departments education, art, and mathematics. Dr. Frame Prof. Christ-Janer Effective August 1, Prof. James S. the mathematics Frame will head department. Dr. Frame is a graduate of Harvard, and has travelled and stud ied extensively in Europe and Asia. He has taught at Brown University, Provi dence, R. I., and before his appointment to M.S.C. was head of the mathematics department at Allegheny College, Mead- ville, Pa. The new head of the art department is Prof. Albert Christ-Janer, who was appointed in September, 1942, to re place Prof. A. G. Scheele, who retired. Professor Christ-Janer was called by the army before assuming his new position, and was recently released. He replaces Prof. E. B. Brauner, who served as act ing head during 1942-43. New anatomy head is Prof. Russell A. Runnells, who will replace Prof. F. W. Chamberlain when he retires on September 1. The change marks the first shift in Veterinary Division heads since the division was established in 1909. Professor Chamberlain will hold his position as professor for one year, and then plans to retire. Dr. Runnells, who was graduated from M.S.C. in 1916, was a member of the staff from 1919 till 1924, and has been associate professor of veterinary pathology at Iowa State College since 1930. Acting head of the department of education is Prof. Cecil V. Millard, who replaces Prof. Victor Noll, now on leave as a naval officer. Women Edit Newspaper Co-eds took over the three top posi tions on the State News this summer, and are operating the paper on a twice- a-week basis until fall, when the News will resume daily publication. They are Managing Editor Neva Ackerman, Un- ionville junior in journalism; Editorial Director Barbara Dennison, East Lan sing sophomore in journalism; and Busi ness Manager Allison Jane Millar, a junior in history and political science from Bay City. junior Another co-ed who will take over an important publications job next fall is Miss Jean Barnes, Detroit in business administration who will serve as business manager of the Spartan magazine. The Wolverine went female earlier the spring when Miss Joy Randall, of Lansing, and Miss Kay Sprague, of Royal Oak, were appointed editor and business manager, respec tively. in Sole male appointee to a top publi cations post was Charles Calkins, Lan sing agricultural student who will edit the Spartan. Record Summer Enrollment Four thousand six hundred and sixty- seven men and women are enrolled in more than 450 courses in 69 departments of study in the first full time summer quarter at Michigan State College. Included in the enrollment are 1667 civilians and approximately 3,000 sol diers. In the civilian enrollment 826 are men and 841 women. The 4,667 soldier and civilian registration hits an all time high for enrollment at M.S.C. during the summer quarter. The next highest enrollment was 2,501 students who took work on the East Lansing campus last summer. The most recent army addition to the campus is the 800 basic and advanced engineers and 300 language and military administration students, who began their training on July 12. These men replace the Specialized training, Assignment, and Reclassification unit, organized here last April. The other military enrollment includes the 250 veterinai'y students and the ap proximately 1500 aircrew men in train ing at M.S.C. since last March. Student Appointments Heading next year's Tower Guard and Mortar Board, sophomore and senior women's honorary societies, are Miss Shirley Hamelink and Miss Marjorie Jehle. Miss Jehle, who was named pres ident of Mortar Board at the traditional May Morning Sing, is an applied science from Detroit, Michigan; Miss major Hamelink, whose election top spot in Tower Guard was made public at Lantern Night, is a liberal arts stu dent from Lansing, Michigan. Twenty- five women were "tapped" to Tower Guard, and nine members of 1944 class were named to Mortar Board. the to Paul Olson, who graduates from M.S.C.

After July 30 he'll be a grad uate of liberal arts with the bachelor of arts degree. He has majored in speech and dramatics, and is looking forward to a career in business. He's the head of a family of four, and his years in college have been a long and successful fight to be a functioning part of the campus he doesn't see. Olson was born in Gladstone, near Escanaba, Michigan, in 1920. His sight began to fail when he was 10, and he has been completely blind since he was 17. He attended public schools in Glad stone, Iron Mountain, and the Lansing School for the Blind. Three years ago he married a Grand Rapids girl, Edith then a student at Michigan Carroll, State. Today two children. they have The older, Paul Eric, is 15 months; the other, Patricia Loraine, is eight weeks. The other member of the family is a soft-eyed German named Flikka, who was purchased last year by the M.S.C. student body and the Lansing Lions club. Flikka is 2y2 years old, and a graduate of the Leader Dog Training Foundation at Rochester, Michigan. shepherd According to Olson, the largest prob lem of the blind student is social, not the aid of his wife's academic.

Paul is also salesman for the Blind Products company in De troit. in Olson intends to enter the insurance business. Prof. Paul Bagwell, acting head of the speech department, put him on the track of a position or two, and "it looks as though one of them would work out," Olson said.

As this is written the athletic department is planning on a program of sports for next year, al though a shortage of material is ex pected to exist. Spring football practice was admittedly unsatisfactory. Only a handful of players were here to report. There are fewer now. However, an eight-game schedule ap pears on the bulletin board in the lobby of Jenison gymnasium. It has been re vamped radically. Answering the appeal of ODT made to all colleges to reduce mileage of athletic team travel, games that would have taken the Spartans to Portland, Oregon, for a game with Ore gon State and brought Washington State to East Lansing, were postponed for the duration. An additional game was booked with Great Lakes and one with Camp Grant was added. Physical Fitness Highlights pliments to offer. Lieut.

The first, of course, is the ideal facilities. Then the college has its regular staff on the job. As civilians they had perfected a well- oiled machine and it was not difficult to turn it to war work. Another reason for is that facilities are such that small groups are handled. There is no mass training. No class is larger than 50 men. The range of ac tivities is much larger than those pre vailing at most other training centers. Too, there are the trained men here to do the job. For instance there is no better hand-to-hand combat instructor who ex cels in theory and practice than Coach Findley Collins, of the wrestling team. His leadership is recognized by men high in the army and navy training program. A feature of Michigan State's training establishment that wins instant approval is the safety skills courses.

Explains 53-0 Baseball Score in the (May) Noticing "Michigan State College Record", on page 9, the item "BASEBALL, 53-0", I think I can explain the designation of the team only as "Lansing". In 1886 while I was a freshman at the Michigan Agricultural College, (now M.S.C.) there went out a challenge from the "lean men" to the "fat men" for a game of baseball. The "fat men", myself included, got together to arrange for a team to play the "lean men". Many of the "fat men" argued against the ac ceptance of the challenge, as we, the "fat men", had no pitcher and catcher to cope with the "lean men", so they thought. It so happened that McClure and I had been working in the wild garden for the Dr. Beal, and, as we could do all work that was necessary each day in one half the time allotted for us to work each day, and as McClure wanted to perfect himself in throwing curves we time practiced about one half of our each day, he, in throwing curves, and I, in catching, all without any knowledge of anyone but ourselves. In the wild garden at that time there was a very high and steep bank well sodded on one side of the wild garden which I, as catcher, used as a backstop, thus stop ping, without bounce, any and all wild balls pitched by McClure. McClure developed gradually, not only in throwing curves accurately, but in speed. With our practice in the fall of 1885 and the spring of 1886 up to the time of the "lean men's" challenge, Mc Clure became quite expert in accuracy and in curves; and I, on the other hand, had become quite able as catcher, all unknown to anyone but ourselves. With this knowledge, McClure and I volun- Mr. Baker, '23, page through of Michigan State College", published by M.S.C.

Very few of the "lean men" reached first base during the nine innings, and NONE reached the home base, while the "fat men" ran up, what I have always carried as the score, 54 runs and NOT the 53 noted.
