Honorary degrees of doctor of engineer ing and doctor of science, respectively, were awarded to two former M.S.C. stu dents, Albert H. Case, vice-president and general manager of the U. S. Phosphoric Products division of Tennessee corpora tion, Tampa, Florida, and Dr. Leon J. Cole, professor of genetics at the Uni versity of Wisconsin. Two prominent educators were the speakers for graduation exercises. Dr. Franklyn B. Snyder, president of North western university, delivered the com mencement address, and the Reverend J. Hugh O'Donnell, president of the University of Notre Dame, spoke at the baccalaureate service Sunday afternoon, June 3. Other commencement activities in cluded President John A.

Sixteen students were graduated "with high honor" and 84 "with honor." Many scholarships and prizes were announced. Dr. Snyder declared that if the battle against the age-old foe of human happi ness—ignorance of nature and stupidity in human relationships—is to be won, humanity must look for leadership to men and women who can think straight and act courageously, and who can lead in scientific research and in the attempt to work out a more satisfactory basis of international relations.

By the evening of July 8 they had given up the attempt, and Abercrombie's army was in full retreat toward Albany." times lost Ignorance of nature and stupidity in human relations had the day for England, according to Dr. Snyder. He pointed out that the situation of 1758 was closely paralleled by that of 1945, and suggested that after the necessary military victory over Japan has been won humanity will find itself confronted by the same enemies of human happiness which "cost the English dear" in 1758. Dr. Snyder said the kind of leaders the world will need are to be found in the graduating classes of institutions like Michigan State College. He wished in members of the class good fortune foreign the battle not only against 4 . . .. T HE R E C O RD enemies, but against the "forts of folly which are more strongly held and more tenaciously defended than was Fort Ticonderoga in 1758." The following citations were made by President Hannah in awarding honorary degrees to Mr. Case and Mr. Cole: "Mr. Case, you have added materially to our total knowledge of mines and min ing and the whole field of mining engi neering. Your successful participation in a wide range of worthwhile enter prises and interests is an inspiration to young men." "Mr. Cole, in your long and honorable teacher career as research worker, as and administrator, you have served the field of agriculture brilliantly. Yours has been a major contribution in bringing the laws of heredity as they pertain to animal breeding to a recognized and re spected science. Even the most earthy and practical of farmers now recognize the advantages of the practical applica tion of your science of genetics to their problems in improving the quality and the productivity of the animal units on their farms and ranches." Four postulates give the United States the most unusual political philosophy the world has ever known, Father O'Donnell told members of the graduat ing class in the baccalaureate address. They are, according to the speaker, a recognition of God; acknowledgment of the natural law, which has its source in God; recognition of natural rights of persons law; and from acknowledgment of the inherent dignity and integrity of the human person be flowing that cause of these God-given natural rights.

President O'Donnell expressed himself in opposition to the compulsory military service "Per bill before Congress. sonally," he said, "I favor military train ing. I believe that we must be a mili tary nation, postwar; and we must de fend our country. But I am unalterably opposed to a philosophy that means the regimentation of our youth—the very thing that we are fighting against in this global war. Such smacks too strongly of totalitarianism."

Kains, secretary of the class of 1895, sponsored the semi-centennial Class of '95 dinner in the Spartan Room of Hotel Olds. Six months prior to writing the class book "Fifty Years Out of College," Mr. Kains began to plan an event which was to be unlike any affair ever staged in connection with the Michigan State re union, a dinner long be remembered by all present. that would A confidential letter went out inviting two members of the class and their wives to be his guests for dinner and it ap peared that they were to be the only ones invited. In the same way, however, he asked other groups to meet him on the same date and at the same hour. Thus, when they arrived at the Hotel Olds parlors they found not only all the class but several guests present. Then the secretary of the Class of 1895, who had been standing incognito at the edge of the circle of friends, pulled off his hat, his colored glasses, and was recognized immediately as the host of the evening and the old man who had fooled many of his classmates for a day or two in various parts of the hotel.

The response for the Class of 1895 was given by Dr. William' C. Bagley, editor of the magazine "School and emeritus of Society" and professor Teachers College, Columbia University. Said Dr. Bagley: "It is privilege on my part to speak on behalf of the class of '95 to express our keen appreciation of your welcome that has been extended to us as we join the ranks of the Patri archs. It has been a very great pleasure for us that this welcome has been ex tended by Dr. Hedrick, who began his work as a teacher when we were fresh men and who presided at the first meet ing of this class in 1891. It is a privilege on behalf of the class to reaffirm our affection for this college, a college that inspires affection and loyalty in its stu dents and in its alumni more than any other college with which I am acquainted. I am happy also to reaffirm our gratitude for what this college did for us in our student days and its the way through our lives. influence all "I regret very much that I am not the person who should respond to this mes sage of welcome. I am pinch-hitting for one of our classmates, Maurice G. Kains, our class secretary. One of the things that he has done was to secure contribu tions to the Union Building from 100 per cent of the class membership. He wrote letter after letter ten years ago for our 40th reunion. We had 24 living members then and 20 were present. They came from all over the country. On this, our 50th reunion there are 24 members living, graduates and former students, and 18 are here today. When we gradu ated in 1895, 17 of those originally start ing received diplomas and 13 of them are is due to here today. This attendance Maurice G. Kains. He is an outstanding horticulturist, a writer of many books in that field. Mr. Kains wrote another book last year, the history of the class '95, dedicated to Dr. Hedrick. Mr. of Kains published this book at his own expense. He gave a copy not only to every member of the class but to every child of every member as well as to the widows of deceased members. He did that without cost to anyone but himself. I hail Mr. Kains as one of our most devoted alumni. We have been proud to hear President Hannah today and feel that the future of the college is a bright future. We are proud to be alumni now and we will be still prouder to have that honor in the future." (Turn to Page 13) Patriarchs register in Union. Left to right, C. A. Hathaway, '92, Lan sing; R.

"Carp" Julian, of the Class of 1915, one of the college's all-time foot ball greats, died May 9, at St. Lawrence hospital in Lansing, following an opera tion and an illness of several months. He had been connected with Oldsmobile division of General Motors corporation for more than a decade and was employ ment manager of the huge forge plant in Lansing. The death of Carp, as he was famili arly known, brought to a close the career of one of the greatest and best known the Spartan to wear fullbacks colors. He was one of those rare men who could penetrate any line while car rying the ball, and backed up his own line with the best of them. ever Julian was a star member of the 1913 team which marked up the only un defeated record in State's football his tory. Walter Eckersall, the Chicago sports writer, who was recognized as the west's leading authority, chose Carp for his all-western team. Walter Camp, the sports critic in the east who was giving the west but scant notice in those days, bowed to Julian, who played under Coach John F. Macklin from 1911 to 1915 and was captain of the 1914 squad. Handicapped by ill health for many years after graduation and participating in professional football, Carp won the admiration of his friends by his fight for good health. He was the organizer and a charter member of the Varsity Club and had served as the alumni rep resentative of that body on the Athletic Council since its reorganization in 1929. He was a member of the Eclectic Society and took an active interest in assisting that group to become the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity. If there was one man who typified friendliness and loyalty in the old "Ag gie" days it was George "Carp" Julian. Carp loved his Alma Mater and took his assignments seriously. Besides his work with the Athletic Council and his fra ternity he served as national president of the Alumni Association from 1938 to 1940 and for several years served as the Downtown Coaches chairman of association. Every Wednesday noon he was on hand to cheer the coaching staff in victory or give them a pat on the back in defeat. He always had a firm handshake and a hearty laugh. His in tense enthusiasm was catching at all times. George E.

For over 30 years it was my pleasure to enjoy his friendship. This I shall always treasure. The memory of his cheerful, kind and lovable qualities and sterling integrity will be an abiding inspiration to all whose privilege it was to know him.

We are gathered here this morning to honor the brave dead who have fought and suffered and died in this great war in order that you and I may have an opportunity to enjoy the rights and priv ileges of free men. that It is entirely fitting and proper we pause to honor our brave dead. It would be their desire, could they speak to us, that we not go through the hollow mockery of paying them tribute unless in the doing we so conduct our selves as to gain a new dedication to the unfinished task for which they gave their all and the accomplishment of which is only begun. The war in Europe has been won. Nazism and Fascism have temporarily been crushed. The armed might of Italy and Germany has been destroyed. The miserable leaders, Mussolini and Hitler, are no more. There remains a great task to finish in the Pacific before the followers of Hirohito may meet the same fate, and in the doing more thousands of our men, possibly more hundreds of our men of Michigan State College, may have to pay the supreme sacrifice. The whole world is in chaos with more death and destruction and suffering than has ever before existed in the history of man, and it will all have been in vain unless out of it comes a situation that justice, and economic assures political the justice, and social peoples of the world regardless of those accidental circumstances of birth: race, color, creed, social situation, and geo graphical location. justice for all is The best hope for America that the twelve million young men and young women who have fought in this war and suffered in this war and know the real cost of war, and those of about the same age here at home who have not as yet been fully indoctrinated with the selfish greed so firmly fixed in the minds and hearts of so many older persons—may have a sustained interest in seeing that T HE R E C O RD every reasonable step is taken to pre vent yet another great war a generation hence. Through them America may have a the advantages of rebirth of zeal for democracy, a fervor for honesty and integrity in government at all levels, and an insistence upon morality and integrity and fundamental honesty on the part of all persons to place our trust. in whom we are leadership There must be a new selflessness among us and a determination that this nation shall exercise a in world affairs, not through coercion but by example and demonstration of what we can do in providing for all of our own people the political, social, and eco nomic justice of which we speak. And unless we begin at home and assure all of our own people these justices, we are in a poor position to exercise any per manent, worthwhile leadership in world affairs. There can be no peace unless it is a peace for the world. There must be a willingness on the part of each and every one of us to dedicate ourselves for our part, great or small, not only in a mili tary defeat for the enemy but in winning a peace for ourselves and for the world. to celebrate Memorial Day is for each of us to think of the men whom we knew who have died in this war. Thinking of them, not in the abstract as gold stars on a service flag, but as the young men whom we lived with, grew up with, went to school with—our brothers and our friends. The best way I know It would be a good thing for us if every one of us every day of our lives wrere required to recall the questioning faces of those men whom we previously knew who have died for us. The ques tioning faces of our dead might inspire us as nothing else is likely to, to forego some of the personal selfishness and give us a willingness to contribute our part to assure a better situation than has existed before. In a few minutes the names of the brave sons of this college who have died in this war will be read. I wish each one of us might have known at least a few of them as I have known some of them. The finest tribute I have ever been paid came from a boy who was one of those names that is about to be read. I shall never forget him. A few years ago it was my pleasure to know many students much better than I can know them now. This boy was raised on the other side of the railroad tracks in a home where from his he had some encouragement interested mother but very little from his father. I met him the first day he was on this campus and became in him and came to know him well. He was a pretty good student and a pretty good football player, and grew into a fine young man. One night several college students had gathered around, and we that had visited over the usual things boys talk about, each of them with their own problems and their own particular slants on the problems and things that interest college boys. And after a while they all drifted away but this one. He stopped for a few minutes and asked a few more questions. Then he turned to me in kind of a shy way and said, "Mr. Hannah, I wish you were my father." No finer tribute was ever paid to me, and I should have been glad to have been his father. He has been killed in this war. He and more than 240 other young men from Michigan State College. * * * they sleep under These heroes are dead; they died for liberty; they died for us. They are at rest; they rendered stainless for the land that they kept free. They sleep in far off lands under desert sands, under tropical palms, in unfriendly clay, some of them on the bottom of the sea. flag the Wherever they sleep, it is beneath the shadows of the clouds, careless alike of sunshine or storm, each in the window- less palace of rest. In their tribute, let us say with Tennyson: "Sunset and evening star, And one clear call for me! And may there be no moaning of the bar When I put out to sea. . . . For though from out our bourne of Time and Place The flood may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to face When I have crossed the bar." And with O'Hara: "The muffled drums' sad roll has beat The soldier's last tattoo. No more on Life's parade shall meet The brave and fallen few. On Fame's ground eternal camping Their silent tents are spread, And glory guards, with solemn round, The bivouac of the dead." And a message from one of the brave Canadian dead in the first World War. I think these M.S.C. men of ours would like to have us think of this message as coming from each of them. From McCrae: "Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch: be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though pop pies grow in Flander's Fields." In conclusion, let it therefore be our pride to show all men everywhere not only what a great military power the United States has become, but let us set for ourselves standards of human be havior, standards of fundamental justice for all men, standards so high that it will be a glory to live up to them. And then let us live up to them and add a new laurel to the crown of America. Our nation is the sum total of all its people—you and I, and a hundred and thirty millions more like us. Much think ing needs to be done at the bottom by all of us, the common citizens of America, with a fundamental dedication the these brave men purpose fought and died. If we feel deeply, and honestly, and sincerely, and dedicate our selves to the great task that lies ahead, then and only then can there be any assurance that these brave men will not have died in vain. for which to In addition to the names appearing on the Roll of Honor in the Union Memorial Building (see first page of this section), the names of the following Michigan State men known to have died in service were read.

Ex cerpts from the address given at that time by President Hannah follow. We are gathered here this morning, not in a spirit of celebration or exulta tion, not filled with national pride at the I people of Japan. That defeat is certain. The cost may be greater than the more optimistic anticipate, and the road may be rougher and rockier and the time and the loss of life and material resources may yet be great, but that military vic tory is certain. that What I am concerned about and what I think every one of us in this room today should be concerned about is the fact the that so few of us recognize defeat of Germany and Italy and eventu ally Japan may not bring peace. The total extermination of the military poten tial of these nations may not bring peace but only another armistice unless we in America and the right-thinking people of all the world recognize that there can be no long-time peace or no long-time satisfactory situation in America or any other nation in all the world unless all of the peoples of the world, regardless their of color, regardless of the earth's surface where they happened to be born or where they happen to live, are assured a reasonable opportunity for political justice, for social justice, and for economic justice. And certainly if that is true for all of the peoples of the world, it is true for all of the people of our own nation. their race or their creeds or the place on There is no justice in the demands of some for absolute equality of reward for all persons regardless of ability, ambi tion, energy or thrift. But equality of opportunity must be the toward which we strive. ideal The future of America and the future to a of the world will be determined large degree by the attitude and the un derstanding and the leadership that will be exercised by the twelve million young men and young women now in the armed those forces of the United States and of you of about the same age who are not in the armed forces. America will emerge from this war as the greatest power on earth, the greatest military power on earth, the greatest economic power on earth, the greatest social power on earth with the greatest opportunity through unselfish leadership to bring about an era of understanding that could make the coming peace more than a temporary armistice before an other great world war more fearful than this one that might completely destroy all of the gains of civilization. Unless America assumes leader ship in this great opportunity, we may not have another chance. the important problem the most the world that If faces is an enduring world peace, then the most important problem that faces America is the exercise of leadership in the world to make an en during peace possible.

We are gathered here this morning in a spirit of thoughtful dedication to that great un finished task which lies ahead. that phase of forces scattered all over All of us have brothers or other close relatives, sweethearts or friends, in our armed the world. Many of them have already paid the supreme sacrifice. Many more will bear crip-ling marks of this war as long as they live. The scars are not limited to those that mar the physical body for many will be whole in body but scarred in mind or in spirit. Were we celebrating the end of the total war it would be a different occa sion than this one, for we recognize that there may be months or years of war ahead in Asia and that there may be hurdreds of thousands of our men yet to die or to suffer before the same miser able end can come to the armies of Japan that have been experienced by the armies of Nazism and Fascism. We are dedicating ourselves to con tinue to contribute in every possible way to the bringing of an early defeat to the military forces, the leaders and the ^lUe* Men, oj My Gant+nand 'Tis midnight and I stand Amid the sleeping forms of men— The men of my command. And, as their troubled murmurs stir The quiet of the night, I wonder at the subject of their dreams. What matter if tomorrow I command again; This one—the father lying at my feet Laughs and plays (in dream) with the son he's never seen. (God grant his safe return) And over there, a dozen paces to my right, A boy—a man now, he's just passed twenty-one— Sobs a name, his brother's. Today's long looked-for mail notified him of his Brother's death. And on the other side— But what was that? A child's frightened cry? No! I see from whence it came, That youngster there who's writhing in his sleep. (He's dreaming of that shelling we received the other day And who can blame him, 'twas his first.) "Marilyn!" Whose voice cried out? Oh, yes! I know the man. and the name he speaks—his wife's. Spoke in remorse for that last letter, penned in anger's heat. I censored it, you see, and know its content. He'll be glad tomorrow when I give it back. I withheld it from the mail, for I knew his anger'd cool, And he'd regret the sending of it. But now my reverie is broken; Other thoughts and sounds impinge upon my mind, (The distant sentinel's sharp challenge; The jackal's cry, the scudding clouds that chase the Moonlight from the sky, to let it reappear again To form a new kaleidoscope of sight.) And all my present sons lie quiet in their sleep. I'm thinking now about an absent son— My own—who sleeps so far away Beneath the same deep, scintillating canopy To which I turn my eyes To ask God's blessine on all my sons. Both here and there— Those whose dreams I'll share (God willing) And pray that I might be a faithful father, now— And then. Major Alvah M. Miller MAJOR ALVAH M. MILLER Major Alvah M. Miller, author of the poem "The Men Of My Command," considered a classic of the war, was killed in action in Italy on January 30, 1944. He was commander of the third battalion of Rangers which was cut to ribbons in the American attack on Cisterna, and wrote the poem shortly before meeting death on the field of battle. Tribute was paid recently to the memory of Major Miller on "Victory Is Our Business," radio program sponsored by General Motors company, by whom he was employed before entering the army. The program was broadcast nationally and shortwaved to Army camps throughout the world. A student at Michigan State College in 1933-37, Major Miller majored in economics. During his college days he was president of the glee club, was a member of Mortar and Ball, and belonged to the Coast Artillery, advanced R.O.T.C. unit. Major Miller was the son of Mr. and Mrs. James F. Miller, 933 South Jefferson, Saginaw. His widow, Loretta Young Miller, and small son, James Patton Miller, reside at 316 N. Washington in Saginaw. T HE R E C O RD that faces all of us as government that we have, where the gov ernment represents the sum total of the desires of its citizens, the most important problem indi viduals is to see that the nation and the government carry out our wishes in exer cising that leadership. Our wishes can not be sanely arrived at unless we have the maximum understanding of the world and the peoples that populate it and the problems of those peoples. The keynote of the hope for tomorrow rests upon our ability to understand the world-wide implications of the problems If your unborn facing America today. sons are not to be forced into a war more terrible than this one, there must be a willingness on the part of each and every one of us to dedicate ourselves for our part, great or small, not only in a military defeat for the enemy but in win ning a peace for ourselves and for the world. There can be no peace unless it is a peace for the world. There can be no peace for America and chaos for the rest ©f the world. History has demonstrated many times that the only substantial gain of military victory is possession of initiative for a brief and fleeting historical moment. In our time there are unprecedented among cooperation for opportunities many peoples. The verdict of history was fairly per ceived by Elihu Root when he said, "You may the advancement and promise of a nation by its ability to co operate and work with others." judge of Will our opportunities and initiatives be permitted to slip away, or will we work constructively with others in mak ing the defeat of Germany the prelude to final defeat of Japan and a real peace? The young men and young women of America who have fought and won the war against Italy and Germany and who will continue to fight and win the war against Japan, and you their sisters and brothers should answer this question— each in his own mind. Young men and young women know the real costs and tragedies of war. They and you will be the leaders and the power of post-war America. Today's rejoicing over V-E Day means nothing. Today's dedication to the un task of defeating Japan, and finished today's dedication to an understanding of the absolute necessity for political justice, economic justice, and social jus tice for all the peoples of the world both abroad and at home if there is to be a real peace may mean much. Each of us owes that personal dedica tion to our brave men—your friends and mine—who have fought and suffered and died that we might have this opportunity. Bee tke, SpaAtani in Action ^Uii fyaU Order F o o t b a ll T i c k e ts Now How Spartans Were Named By GEORGE ALDERTON State Journal Sports Editor EDITOR'S NOTK: The following article is being reprinted through the courtesy of Mr. Alderton of the Lansing State Journal. T HIS is the story of how Michigan State college athletic teams came to have the name of Spartans. I happen to know the origin of the name, for I had a part in choosing it and, so far as I know, was the first to put it into print. . . . As many know, for the greater part of its existence the college bore the name Its of Michigan Agricultural college. teams were known, and told and sung about in campus song and story, as the Aggies. With the curriculum broaden ing, the name was changed to Michigan State College of Agriculture and Ap plied Science, on May 13, 1925. It be came evident that the name Aggies was outgrown. Some months later a campus commit tee sponsored a contest and offered a $10 cash prize for a nickname which the committee would choose. The name of "Michigan Staters" was the prize win ning selection. If a working newspaper man had been a member of the body I feel sure he would have raised strenuous objection to that name. It did not lend itself to headline writing, a very neces sary quality, and neither did it offer variety to a sports writer yearning for a synonomous symbol. Excellent as the choice may have been in the opinion of a sincere committee, the prize winning name never saw the light of day in print beyond the actual announcement. Some time after this, I determined to make another effort in bestowing a nick name. Dale Stafford, now assistant man aging editor of the Detroit Free Press, was at the time with the Lansing Capital News which later discontinued publication. Dale, a former Lansing high school track athlete, fell in with the suggestion that From the Spartans of ancient Greece, maybe we could find a suitable name. We went to the college publications depart ment and asked Jimmy Hasselman, who was then head of the department, to let us inspect the names submitted. Jim was sympathetic because he always had the viewpoint of a working newspaperman. There was' the usual assortment of Bears, Wildcats, Tigers, Panthers, etc., but we sought something at least orig inal. Finally we settled on Spartans. It was the name entered in the contest by Perry J. Fremont, then the catcher on the baseball team, and now a first string player in Uncle Sam's internal revenue department office at Detroit. Years later when we had him as a guest of ours in the Briggs stadium press box at the 1940 world series, I told him of the incident. He had forgotten all about offering the name. I personally felt that the name should be made to originate outside the immedi ate circle of the college. The baseball team was about to leave for a southern trip and it presented such an opportunity for introduction. On April 2, 1926, in a special dispatch from Fort Benning, Ga., detailing the the baseball game State account of played with the Fort Benning officers' team, the new nickname was first used. I rewrote the "lead" of the story in order to weld the name into it and then waited the results. The first paragraph of the account, copied from The State Journal files of April 2, 1926, reads as follows: "(Special to The State Journal) "FORT BENNING, Ga., April 2— The Michigan State college baseball team today waved menacing bats at the Fort Benning Infantry Officers team as it prepared to get revenge for a 7-to-5 defeat suffered in the opening game here yesterday. THE SPARTONS FROM THE NORTH (the caps are ours for emphasis sake) were forced to bow yesterday although they actually outhit Uncle Sam's boys, 12 to 10." Well, that was it. Note the incorrect spelling of the word. My carelessness. Again the next day we used the new nickname, sparingly at first, and spelled it with the "o." It was our late friend Jim Killoran, as I remember, who pointed out the error. Jim was a daily visitor in the office and helped us often, as he did a great many people, both in and out of sports. SPARTAN SPIRIT CONQUERS Michigan State College athletes take their name On the third occasion, April 5, it be came correctly SPARTANS. No student alumnus, or official had called up the editor to complain about our audacity in giving the old school a new name, so we ventured into the headlines with it. The "deck" of the heading read "Kobsmen show midseason form in downing Mercer U.; Don Haskins raps out three of the Spartans' bingles; Fremont injured." Happily for the experiment, the name It began appearing in other news took. papers and when the student publications used it, that clinched it. The Spartan was 19 years old last April 2. We paced the floor when he was born at Fort Benning, Ga. MICHIGAN STATE COLLEGE 1945 — Football Season Reserve Application — 1945 All Games Start at 2 P.M. E.W.T.
