TO ALUMNI OF THE SCHOOL OF SCIENCE AND ARTS: In order that all of you who left Michigan State College preceding the Fall of 1944 may understand the organi zation of the School of Science and Arts, it may be well to explain that the Divi sions of Liberal Arts and Applied Sci ence were scrambled and then reorgan ized into the School of Business and Public Service and the School of Science and Arts. The vocational curricula formerly in into the two divisions were organized the School of Business and Public Serv ice. The remaining activities of the two divisions were grouped together to form the School of Science and Arts. The advent of the Basic College placed heavy demands upon the departments of the School of Science and Arts in the way of reorganization of course offer ings to make them articulate with the new comprehensive courses which all freshmen and sophomores take before entering the Upper School. Believing as we do, in the essential soundness bf the general education program of the basic college, we made many transfers of staff to this college, while recogniz ing the loss we were sustaining for the School of Science and Arts. Those of you who were in the Division of Applied Science will be glad to know that Dean Huston was advanced to the position of Dean of the Graduate School. Col. Dorsey R. Rodney, former professor of Military Science and Tactics, is now serving as Dean of the newly created School of Business and Public Service. Now, I would like to bring you up-to- date on a number of members, or for mer members, of the staff, whom you will know. Professor Hedrick, who retired sev eral years ago from the Department of Economics, and Professor Plant, who directed the Mathematics department, still live in East Lansing. Both are still familiar the campus, even if on an unofficial basis. around figures Prof. W. W. Johnston, who was head of the English department for many years, lives in the city, and is seen at functions. Prof. L.

Clark, formerly head of the Department of Chemistry, lives in East Lansing, is president of the East Lansing State Bank and still serves the college as head of the committee on scholarships. Vol. 53. No. 3 Prof. A. G. Scheele, who headed the Department of Art for many years, spends his summers on Kelly Island, Ohio, and his winters in California, but stops on the campus frequently. Pro fessor Chapman, who directed the Physics department, lives in East Lan sing, continuing to take an active interest in the campus and is seen almost regu larly at the Faculty Club get-togethers. Dean Giltner, former head of the De- Dean Emmons partment of Bacteriology and Dr. E. A. Bessey, who served as Dean of the Graduate School and head of the Botany Department, are also still around the campus. Dean Giltner is now on terminal leave and lives just outside of East Lansing, and Dr. Bessey has offices on the campus, where he is engaged in rewriting his textbook on Mycology. It may be interesting to know who has replaced each of these men who has retired. The new department heads are as follows: Bacteriology, Dr. H. J. Stafseth; Botany, Dr. W. B. Drew, Harvard uni versity; Art, Prof. H. C. Church, Wash burn University; Sociology, Dr. C. P. Loomis, U. S. Department of Agricul ture; English, Dr. Russell B. Nye; Chem istry, Dr. L. L. Quill, Ohio State Univer sity, Dr. H. J. Wyngarden, Economics. The new head of the Department of Mathematics is Dr. J. S. Frame, Alle T HE R E C O RD ALVIE L. SMITH, Editor gheny College; Physics and Astronomy, Dr. T. H. Osgood, University of Toledo; Foreign Languages, Dr. H. H. Thorn ton, Oberlin College; and Speech, Dr. Wilson Paul, University of Denver. Recently the Department of Philos ophy and Psychology was split into two parts, with Prof. J. M. DeHaan carrying on in philosophy and Dr. H. H. Ander son, University of Illinois, being chosen to head the Department of Psychology. A few of the other old timers on the staff still carrying the torch are: Fabian, Mailman, Woodcock, Hutson, Hunt, Guy Hill, Jungwirth, Underwood, Schuster, Moffet, Newlin, Barnett, Buell, Nickle, Ball, Hartsuch, B e r g q u i s t, Prophet, Grove, Powell, Wyngarden, Fields and many others whom you would like to hear about. There have been a great many devel opments in the School in the past few important of years, one of the most which was the accreditation of the De partment of Chemistry by the American Chemical Society. We are now training clinical psychologists, and have estab lished a Department of Foreign Studies and an International Institute for the training of students in the culture of the Far East and Latin America. The Department and Institute are ably head ed by Dr. Shao Chang Lee, formerly head of the International Institute in Hawaii. The departments housed in Morrill Hall (the "Coop" to many of you) have grown to such an extent that all offices are filled with desks. Several classrooms have been taken over to make additional office space, and even then many in structors sit at tables in the halls. The Dean's offices are still in Morrill Hall, but will move along with the de partments of botany, zoology, entomol ogy and geology and geography into the new Science Building which will be com pleted sometime during the next aca demic year. We will be glad to welcome any re turning alumni to these new offices and to give them a view of one of the finest science buildings to be found anywhere in this country. It would be a pleasure indeed to have any and all of you come back to the college and see the great growth that has taken place in the last year or two and to introduce you per sonally to many of the new developments which space does not permit us to detail in this short description of our activi ties.

SOME QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE FUND Q. When was the Memorial Center Fund started? A. The first appeal to alumni by the Memorial Center Fund Committee was made about eleven months ago. Since that time the progress has been steady until today the amount subscribed is over $100,000, or more than one-third of the total objective. Q. What is the minimum financial objective? A. The minimum financial objective is $300,000. Q. Won't the State Government of Michigan supply the funds for the project? A. The State Government of Michigan cannot be expected to meet this need. The only source of funds for a project of this nature is a voluntary sub scription program among alumni, students, faculty, and friends of Michigan State College. Q. When will construction on the Memorial Center begin? A. As soon as the necessary funds are raised and construction conditions permit. Q. Will the Memorial Center fill a real need on the campus? A. Yes. The Memorial Center forms a practical and workable approach to intelligent and effective world citizenship. The inspirational and moral fea tures of the Memorial Chapel and the International House will become a permanent part of a student's education and daily life on the campus. Q. Is it possible to make a subscription to the Fund without enclosing a check or cash with the subscription card? A. Yes. Subscriptions are payable until June 30, 1949, in any method of payments suitable to the donor. The dates of future payments should be indicated on the card or letter accompanying the subscription. Q. What is the minimum subscription? A. There is no minimum just as there is no maximum. However, success will be achieved only if each alumnus thoughtfully considers the meaning of the project and makes a sincere subscription to the P'und. The alumni body of Michigan State College is relatively small and has shown rapid growth only important. in recent years.

Weit 9*tdiel fpx, (late gpaUzl at 90 By Madison Kuhn His ninetieth birthday, like many of the earlier ones, found Liberty Hyde Bailey, '82, in the tropics seeking new trees. This March he species of palm was in the West Indies, again vigor ously pursuing research for his "great book." Palms are his chief hobby now, but only his most recent one, for all his life has been devoted to the search for unknown plants. Bailey was packing to leave M.A.C. in 1879, because of disagreements over military drill, when Dr. W. J. Beal offered him the chance to collect bio logical specimens for the college. Thus, one of the world's great scientists found his avocation. Every student had his daily stint of manual labor, but none enjoyed his so much as did the tall young man who the woods and streams with prowled boxes and bags returned that never empty. But collecting is only Bailey's hobby. His main task then was that of a stu dent, though he did find time to found and edit the Speculum in its first year and to superintend one dark night the filling-in of a campus well containing ill-tasting water. He also taught in the long winter vacation at the Carl School, where M-78 now crosses Lake Lansing Road. After three years out of college on a newspaper and in the Herbarium at Harvard, Liberty Hyde Bailey re turned to MAC as professor of horti culture and landscape gardening. The hobby was not, however, laid aside. In the summer of 1888 Bailey with Beal, Wheeler, '91, Dewey, '88, and Pel- ton, '88, made a two-week survey from Harrisville on Lake Huron to Frankfort on Lake Michigan. In the middle of that route lay miles of sandy jackpine plains where farming had usually failed. little would grow and "A Shrewd, Scientific Man . . ." that Out of that would spurry for plants investigation developed alfalfa, a series of experiments with the in clovers, and grasses thrive search in that dry, sandy waste. A Detroit Free Press reporter who accompanied the scientists wrote of Professor Bailey, "He is a shrewd, scientific man, about thirty years of age. He is out of bed at the most unearthly morning hours, splashing about in the dew and malaria, bending with his intellectual head very close the earth and gloating over the new and mysterious in nature. He comes back to camp with newly acquired information, and a most ravenous appe tite." to In that same year Bailey went to Cornell University as professor of horti culture, forming the nucleus that gave the college of agriculture a respected position at Ithaca. In his later years as its Dean, he had much to do with making it one of the leading agricultural colleges in the nation. In 1903 Bailey had accepted the dean- ship "for ten years." From time to time he had warned his associates, but no one listened until that day in 1913 when it was discovered with consternation, that Bailey, his books, and his specimens were no longer in the Dean's office. He to devote himself had retired—retired to his hobby. While at MAC, Bailey had decided to devote the first third of his life (assum to training, the second ing 75 years) in Ithaca, he third to his vocation, and the remain ing years to his avocations. Now he was 55 and falling behind in his schedule. In the old stable back of his home on fitted out Sage Place, laboratories where he sorted and classi fied plant materials he collected in ex cursions to the remote corners of Africa, western China, the Andes or the WTest to write Indies. There he continued books on farming, horticulture, botany, education, democracy, yes, and even an occasional volume of verse. Two years ago he vigorously denied rumors that he had written a hundred books. "There have been only sixty-seven," he insisted. There, too, the custom of many years continued as new generations of Cor nell students came down the hill of a Sunday evening to sit in the book-lined living-rooms of the Bailey home to chat and from the scientist Browning, Milton, Tennyson, and a host of others. to hear read His Search Is Endless When winter comes, however, the Hortorium in Ithaca is left in the hands of his daughter and the capable staff, while the man from MAC boards ship for a port in the tropics. There he hires natives to carry his gear and together they are into the wilds again where, as the days pass, boxes gradually fill with the leaves, bark, and nuts of hitherto unknown species of palms. That a man in his eighties should so spend his win ters seemed incredible, but now that he is ninety it loses its wonder. Age has ceased to Liberty Hyde Bailey. He will go on always, as he did in the fields and swamps about MAC seventy years ago, pushing on in search of things no scientist has seen before. to mean anything (left) Baailey and companion encamped beside Lake Margrethe in 1888.
