S P A R T AN A L UM N I M A G A Z N E J U NE 1 9 48 GRADUATION 1948 M I C H I G AN STATE C O L L E GE A £ettesi tf-nam ^ke Jbean TO ALUMNI OF THE SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING: To many of you, the expression "School of Engineering" is no doubt still some what strange, but if you were to visit R. E. Olds Hall of Engineering,- you would find it still recognizable as the Division of Engineering, with which you are acquainted. There have been many changes, to be sure, that were neces sitated by the advent of the Basic Col lege, but these have not materially affected the two upper years, and it was in these years that you really felt you were taking engineering. If you were to drop into the Dean's office, you would still find Miss McCann to greet you, probably call you by name, and tell you about some of your class mates. Her problems, however, have multiplied in the past two years, for 2,300 students are not registered as easily as 1,000, which was the number before the war. Tau Beta Pi, he can still be found hiding behind his roll top desk, a relic from the fire of 1916. Prof. Kinney is superintendent of buildings and utilities, and at present is struggling with the installation of an other 3,000 kilowatt generator and two boilers in the new steam plant south of the river, while Prof. Osborn is still ably taking care of the communication and laboratories. Dr. Strelzoff, electronics the mathematical analyst, together with twelve new members completes the staff of the electrical engineering department. The electrical department is anxiously looking forward to getting into its new building, located south of the Chemical This from 57 different increase has necessitated a greatly enlarged teaching staff, which now numbers 108 and represents gradu engineering ates schools. However, you would still find many familiar faces. Prof. Allen, as head of the department of civil engineer ing, still teaches contracts and specifica tions and has Professors Cade, Leigh, C. A. Miller, twenty younger staff members. Prof. Hitchcock was retired some years ago and is now in Hart, Mich. Prof. Finney is in charge of the State Highway Research labora tories located in Olds Hall. Prof. Meyer resigned seme years ago and is with the Abrams Instrument corporation in Lan sing. A new venture in this department having to do with aeronautical engineer ing is headed by Prof. Nothstine, an MSC graduate. in addition to The electrical engineering department is headed by Prof. Baccus, a graduate of Texas A. & M., who came to us in 1940, although he was on leave of absence during the war at the U. S. Naval Acad emy. Prof. Foltz, former head of the department, was on leave of absence dur ing the fall term because of ill health, but has returned as a distinguished pro fessor. Our oldest professor in years of service, Prof. Cory, can still tell a few stories. Recently honored by his election to the national presidency of Vol. 53, No. 4 Dean Dirks Engineering laboratory and facing the Red Cedar. This four story brick and stone building is due to be completed by next January, although parts of it may be available next fall. Prof. Miller is still at the head of the department of mechanical engineering, and maintains his interest in the field of heating and ventilation, in which he has become an authority, Prof. Reuling, who will be remembered by many of you be cause of his insistence on good laboratory reports, was retired some years ago, but still makes his home in East Lansing. Prof. Hobbs continues to interest the seniors in new advances in the automo tive field and has recently added that of airplane engines. Prof. Price, a Cornell graduate, has taken over the work in T HE R E C O RD ALVIE L. S M I T H, Editor DORIS OWENS, '49, Associate Editor machine design, replacing Prof. Field, who died some years ago. Prof. Apple heads up an Industrial Engineering op tion; Prof. Sigerfoos is now in the foun dry in place of Mr. Eicher, retired; Prof. Pesterfield has thermo dynamics; and Prof. Campbell the steam power laboratory. Another new venture is in the field of refrigeration, where several courses are offered by Prof. Renwick, a graduate of the University of Michigan. taken over Chemical and metallurgical engineer ing is still housed on the top floor of R. E. Olds Hall and the Chemical Engi neering building, under the head of Dr. Dewitt, formerly with the Michigan Col lege of Mining and Technology. Profes sors Larian, Sweet and McGrady are still on the staff together with eleven others. The courses in oil technology have been strengthened by the addition of Prof. Donnell, a graduate of Okla homa. The registration of 1,200 freshman engineers in the fall of 1946 swamped the department of engineering drawing, now in charge of Prof. Brattin. How ever, by increasing the staff to 23 and adding four new drawing rooms, we have been able to keep up with the increase. The south campus building also houses 27 members of the staff in civil, draw ing and mechanical engineering, a civil instrument room and recitation rooms. Professors Fairbanks, Radford, Robert son and Stewart will be remembered, and they are still on the staff. Prof. Pratt, a registered architect, is in charge of the architectural drawing courses and came to us from Iowa State College. Agricultural engineering, with Prof. Farrall as head, is now a full-fledged department and is housed in a new build ing on Farm Lane, south of the Dairy barn. Prof. Farrall was formerly in charge of research at the Creamery Package Machinery company and has a staff of 26 persons under him. A few familiar names still on the staff are Amundson, Sauve, Sheldon and Wiant. We hope that as in the past, many of you will continue to drop into the office for a chat, but if you find this impossible, we shall always be glad to hear from you. Dean Henry B. Dirks.

BUILDING APPROPRIATION The Michigan legislature, meeting May 20, approved a capital outlay bill of $13,588,144 which included a $5,210,198 appropriation for completion of MSC's building program. (See page 4.) Michigan State will be' able to accom in modate 435 more women students 1948-49, than in the preceding year. The second half of Yakeley Hall was completed in March, making room for 210 students, and Gilchrist Hall, with ac commodations for 225 students, is ex pected to be finished by August. Alumniponor Huddleson Owen, Hedrick, Brandes The 1918 Alumni Awards for Distin to Dr. guished Service will be given Elmer Walker Brandes, '13; Dr. Ulysses Prentiss Hedrick, I.

Hannah will make the presentations to these four alumni, selected for the annual award from a list of nominees submitted by alumni clubs all over the United States. Dr. Brandes is plant pathologist with the U. S. Department of Agriculture where he has worked since 1918. He re ceived his B.S. and M.S. degrees from MSC, and Ph.D from the University of Michigan. Dr. Brandes has been direc tor of various scientific expeditions all over the world, including the USDA air in plane explorations 1928. in New Guinea Dr. Hedrick, who received his B.S. and M.S. degrees in horticulture from MSC and his LL.D. from Utah Agricultural College, is at present director emeritus of the New York Agricultural Experi ment station at Geneva, N. Y. He served as horticulturist of this station from 1905 to 1930 and as director from 1928 to 1937. Dr. Huddleson received his B.S. degree from Oklahoma Agricultural College, and his M.S., D.V.M. and Ph.D. degrees from MSC. A research professor in bacteri ology at Michigan State- since 1937, he is best known for outstanding discoveries in the field of brucellosis and undulant fever. Dr. Owen, general chairman of the Memorial Center Fund project, received his B.S. and Ph.D. degrees from MSC. Prior to retirement in 1921, he was man aging director of Southern Sales Ltd., and president of the Crescent Company in Detroit. J U N E, 1948 . . .. 3 THE A F F A I RS OF S T A TE Enrollment For several weeks before the opening, the married housing area hummed with activity as the two quonsets were im ported, set up, equipped and painted; and toys and other necessary items were made by the cooperating parents. Michigan State's enrollment figures continue to make news. When 13,882 students registered for classes in March, toppled. This another figure record topped by 939 the previous all-time spring enrollment high of 12,943, set in 1947. But that wasn't all. Spartan co-eds found themselves enjoying the greatest ••male predominance" in the past twenty years. Out of the total enrollment, more than 76 per cent are men, and even con sidering that about one-fourth of these are married, for co-eds seemed bright indeed. the spring prospects Registrar Robert S. Linton has pre dicted that 4,500 students will attend the 1948 summer sessions at State. Al though this represents a decrease of 500 from last year's figures, Linton calls it ••normal," due to the number of veterans who plan first summer their to vacation in several years. take And the prediction for the 1948-49 year? Linton estimates that the total fall enrollment will be about 16,000 stu dents. And that will be another record. Nursery School Opens the youngsters, April 26 was a red letter day for MSC parents, and for too. That was the opening day for the Spar tan Nursery school, under the capable direction of newly-acquired Elizabeth Page, of the home management and child development staff. WHILE DAD'S AWAY, THE KIDS WILL PLAY. Stephanie Lill, 3, daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. Gregg Lill, East Lansing, gets in early play in the new nursery. 4 . . . . T HE R E C O RD Miss Page expects to be able to ac in commodate 120 youngsters, divided groups of eight, for three and one-half days a week, by September 1. And that should go a long way toward providing wholesome supervised recreational train ing for approximately 300 children on the Spartan campus between the ages of two and five years. Legislative Action in the Michigan State's building program was left the Michigan lurch when legislature voted to table the $16,222,648 bill for institutional buildings before it adjourned April 29. Included in this state-wide bill was an MSC request for $5,391,198, which would go toward the completion of the college's $12,306,198 state appropriations building program. The only hope for preventing a dead halt in construction was that the legislature would lift the bill from the it met May 20 to items when tabled adjourn "sine die.'' Administrative officials of the college protested, pointing out that the college's building fund was depleted "for all prac tical purposes." "We don't have enough money left in our building fund to keep things going for 20 days, let alone until the next session." Tabling of this capital improvement bill not only seriously jeopardized con struction on the physics and mathematics building, scheduled for completion Janu ary 1, 194H, but also completion of the natural science and electrical engineering buildings. Other urgently needed proj ects for which MSC hoped to get funds were completion of the power plant and a steam line to the south campus build ings; the college's part in building an addition to the East Lansing sewage dis posal plant; construction of a new poul try research building; and plant and animal research. Standing to lose most by this legis lative action were 500 basic college physics students, and several hundred electrical engineering and science stu dents who are scheduled to move into these new buildings in 1949. As of May 7, no work-stoppage order had been given by the college, although the end was well in sight unless the legis lature restored at least part of the ap- THE PHYSICS BUILDING A skeleton in the legislative closet? propriation request. Construction would continue on a "credit" basis at least until May 20, college officials announced. Mortar Board Mortar Board, national honor society for senior college women, chose May Day for its tapping ceremonies in front of Beaumont Tower. Following the custom, in conjunction with tapping was held Tower Guard. Those women chosen to wear the black and gold mortar were selected for their spirit of cooperation shown in the rendition of services to the college and student body. Evelyn Van Steenburgh, Rockford, 111., was selected as president, and twelve other co-eds were honored at the cere monies. They were Janet Byam, Alma Eva, Jacqueline Gelzer, Lois Goers, Judy Graham, Rose Nahra, Vivian Oviatt, Marilyn Pierson, Laura Lee Riegel, Marydel Stevenson, Barbara Weil and Rhea Yerkey. NEW MORTAR BOARD PRESIDENT, Evelyn Van Steenburgh, brushes tears of happiness from her cheek as she takes over from Patricia Ann Hough, Adrian, at May Sing ceremonies. THE A F F A I RS OF S T A TE SENIOR ACTIVITIES The Affairs of State became the affairs term as the of seniors during Spring class of '48 claimed its share of honor in its last sojourn at MSC. The train of senior activities began May 4 with the annual Senior Swingout. which was followed by the election of alumni officers for a five-year period. Roland S. Young, Lansing, was named president; Mary Ellen Evans, Armada, vice-president; Virginia Gilhooley, East Lansing, secretary; and Shirley Surpre- nant, Detroit, treasurer. Anne McCormick. Dearborn, and Wal lace McAllister. Croswell. were pre sented the 1948 Michigan State College Scholarship awards at the Swingout by President John A. Hannah, for highest scholastic achievements the senior class. McAllister's four year average of 2.98 out of a possible 3.0 is the highest scholastic average ever recorded at Mich igan State College. in Hannah Speaks at Swingoul Pres. Hannah, in a Swingout. speech, railed on the 1948 class to join forces with active alumni all over the nation in support of Michigan State; the neces sary physical expansion which has taken advances place; and which are being made and will be made in the future. He charged the seniors to be aware of the dangers to our demo cratic today, and to combat these with better education and intelligent thinking. life which exist the educational Weekly senior dances in the Union ballroom began May 5, with senior co-eds receiving 12 o'clock permission. In keep ing with tradition, seniors donned their caps and gowns each Wednesday. The class of '48 is the largest class in the history of the college. This made it necessary to hold the president's recep tion on two nights, May 25 and 26. The senior spring production, "As You Like It," was presented May 26, 27, 28, and 29 in Fairchild auditorium. Classed as an "escape drama," Shakespeare's "As You Like It" was first presented at MSC in 1913. Since time, only one that Shakespearean play, "Othello," in 1941, has been produced on campus. John A. Yunck and Clyde Henson, in in English at State, were structors for ad fellowships recently awarded vanced study in their respective fields. Yunck was named for a Pennfield fellow ship at New York University and Henson was selected for a fellowship at Western Reserve, Cleveland. When the Red Cedar overflowed a few weeks ago, the junior varsity and fresh men baseball teams decided to play a scheduled game, with "slight'' variations. Although they played in regular baseball uniforms, canoes, rubber balls, anchored bases, and canoe paddles replaced the usual baseball equipment. The result was the first game of "flood ball" in history, and several hundred spectators turned out for the event. The Frosh won, 1-0, after Bob Lawrence walked and stole second, third and home. In the above picture, a freshman slugger bangs nut one of the few hits. Everyone eventually got ducked, including umpires, water and bat boys, and coaches.

The college was founded on a well-wooded site, which included not only clay, sand and muck areas, but also every variety and species of tree native to Michigan. Although the trees were to have been cut down to make room for crops, the envisioned early a fathers campus campus of beauty for the future, and saved them. The late Thomas Gunson. for thirty years superintendent of grounds and for twenty years professor of horticulture, was keenly interested in the development 6 . . .. T HE R E C O RD Michigan State's campus in 1856 consisted of two buildings, constructed in a stump-filled clearing. At the left is Old Board Hall, better known as "Saint's Rest" and to the right is College Hall. Today, the library and Beaumont Tower occupy the site of these original buildings. of the campus, and might be called State's first "beauty" historian. He kept many records, the most extensive and detailed of which were the history of trees. the foundations of Gunson gave credit to three men for the campus laying beautiful. One of these, Will Warner Tracy, class of 1867, h credited with planting nearly all of the spruce on the campus today, all of which were ob tained and planted at his own expense. Tracy was professor of horticulture, and superintendent of grounds. Another early beautifier was the sec ond president of the college, Theophilus C. Abbot. During his term in office, he took a year's trip to Europe, and when he returned, he brought back a monkey puzzle tree, European elms and a moun tain ash, all of which have died except the puzzle tree. Children in the Abbot family meant more additions of trees to the campus. In honor of his daughter, Amy, Presi dent Abbot planted a white pine just northwest of the old education building, now the home of President John Hannah. When a son was born about 1868, Presi dent Abbot commemorated it by planting a red cedar tree. The cedar was given rough treatment two years later when the boy decided to try out a new hatchet on the young tree. This red cedar is still standing, although it only fully recovered from the wound about 20 years ago. The third man who contributed much to the early beauty of the campus was succeeded James Beal, who William Tracy as botanist on the campus. Beal was Michigan's first state forester, and one of his first projects on campus was to plant thirteen trees which he consid ered suitable for a farmer's yard. Eleven of these still stand in a semicircle to the west of the campus greenhouse near the Beal Botanical gardens. Included in this group were a white birch, a soft maple, a yellow wood flowering tree, and a Vir ginia fringe the evergreens, Beal chose a red pine, white pine, balsam spruce, and Sotch pine. The group was completed with an American elm, a rock elm, and a magnolia tree. tree. In The earliest physical appearances of the college were rural in nature. "Saint's Rest," the first men's dormitory, was silhouetted against plowed fields and tree stumps. The college library now stands on the site. A line of elms stood along the original road between Detroit and Grand Rapids, which was approximately parallel to what is now Grand River ave nue, but a block south. The old elms are still standing in row today. An apple orchard once marked the outskirts of the campus, but has to Mason-Abbot, men's dormitories. today given way The end of the beginning came soon before the first World War, when old College Hall collapsed.

The ordered arrangement of plants and shrubs and miniature statues in a picturesque set ting at the front of Campbell Hall is one example of this. Landon Hall, an other women's dormitory, will have simi lar decoration with a terrace garden, which will contain rhododendrons and azaleas, neither of which are indigenous to this climate. In order the future of a "Campus Beautiful" for Michigan State, the college has its own campus site plan ning office which functions as a private bureau in all respects to the administra tion, the architects, and the engineers. The office is under the department of Landscape Architecture and Urban Plan ning, and supervised by Harold Lautner, class of 1925, assisted by Willard Baron. This office has developed long range plan ning in regards to the future use of the campus areas. Master studies have been completed to consider building uses and overall These studies aided invaluably in the placement of new structures in accordance with an overall scheme, and the maintenance of the Spartan campus as one of the most beautiful in the nation. compositional to assure effects. Thus MSC has grown from a campus designed and provided with beauty, through various stages of beautification, and is yet progressing while retaining its beauty. The tradition of the "Campus Beautiful" will be cherished as long as students have in their hearts a love for Michigan State. J U N E, 1 9 48 . . .. 7 The "end of the beginning" came in 1918, when College Hall (above) col lapsed because of inferior construction. After an unsuccessful attempt at re inforcing it, construction was begun on Beaumont Tower in 1922. Today, Beau mont Tower (right) symbolizes Michigan State College and the scenic beauty of landscaping of its campus. Elaborate the dormitory and other areas add the final touch to the picturesque campus. The front of Campbell Hall, women's dor mitory, is shown below. the campus and was the first in the world devoted exclusively to the teaching of agriculture. Beaumont Tower, which has become a symbol of Michigan State, was constructed on the site in memory of old College Hall, and there is no doubt but that older alumni still gaze on the scene with a view of College Hall in their mind's eye. the included transplanting More recent changes necessary since the beginning of the building program have of materials once found in the arboretum along Grand River avenue, at the east end of the campus. The species of plant life have been located in advantageous parts of the campus to keep it an outdoor museum and laboratory for students in the botany, entomology, horticulture, for estry, art, and landscape departments. The Horticultural Gardens will within the next year take on a somewhat al tered aspect with the completion of the Natural Science building on a site east of the dairy. It is estimated that ap proximately 1,500 students will enter and leave the science building at each change of classes.

"Their spirit "It Spartans Have Tough Schedule Michigan State's Spartans face one of the toughest schedules in history for the 1948-49 year. Within five weeks they face Michigan, Notre Dame, and Penn State, all of which are at the top of the heap in power and depth. One big and very important question was answered this spring, "Will George 'Little Dynamite' Guerre be able to play is a this coming fall ?" The answer definite "Yes." George's ankle appears none the worse for wear and he has shown up very well throughout practice. In all of the inter-squad games Guerre's scoring punch was outstanding. is currently throwing team, Waldron Jimmy Zito, Tony Waldron, Gene Glick and Bob Krestel were the only squad members not out regularly t hh spring. the discus Zito with the track is with the tennis squad, and Glick and Krestel themselves as are making names for pitchers with the State baseball squad.

The Central Michigan Alumni Association put out tickets for this inter-squad contest to give State supporters a preview of the team they will see in action when the season rolls around. If the season were to open this week, the Coach Munn would probably field following starting line-up: Backfield—LH, Guerre; RH, Chandois; PB, Waters; QB, George Smith.

FITZGERALD, '47 Michigan State's offering to collegiate musical comedy has successfully passed its second birthday and gained a strong foothold as a permanent campus tra dition. The Dionysians, an all-student organ ization formed last year, has taken its place with other nationally recognized college musical comedy groups. Harv ard's famed "Hasty Pudding," Prince ton's and Pennsylvania's "Masque and Wig" can welcome a worthy rival. "Triangle," The story behind the founding of The Dionysians is a simple one—similar to the founding of many other campus or ganizations. But the work behind a fin ished musical comedy, involving writing, music, lyrics, scenery, direction, cos tumes, and a thousand other things is the story of a year's hard work. In 1946, Homer Opland Joe Greenhoe approached drama prof Don Buell with the idea of doing a student- they produced musical. A good agreed, but not unlike many Broadway productions, the source of funds for the undertaking stumped them. The solution was the formation of a group that was willing to invest plenty of hard work and time in a production that would bring MSC pleasant nights in the theatre and a tradition for the future. idea, and Even the name they chose, "The Dio in with State's brave nysians," fitted warrior, the Spartan. The festivals for the ancient Greek's god of spring, Dionysus, brought laughter and song to the Grecian countryside. The past two springs have brought a similar festival to Fairchield Theatre—a heritage from old Dionysus to his. Winding Cedar coun terparts, "The Dionysians." To become a organization, full campus fledged the group had to secure 10 . .. . T HE R E C O RD One of the newest and most unique "traditions" of Michigan State College the all-student is musical comedy group, "The Dio nysians." After successful years of production, the organiza tion's annual show is well on its way toward becoming a popular affair on the Spartan campus. two sanction of college officials and draw up a constitution. New names were added to the membership list and the real work of producing a musical comedy began. their to adapt a The Dionysians chose proven Broadway play for first presentation. George S. Kaufman and Marc Connelly's play "Beggar On Horse back," originally produced on Broadway in 1924, seemed to present the needed raw material for a musical. Adaptation the play meant that scenes would of re-written, new material have composed, and dances added, music through planned to carry the plot out story, song, and dance. to be "Beggar On Horseback" even found a new name—"Studio On The Square." When the 27-piece orchestra began the overture on a spring night in 1947, and the audience heard snatches of such songs as "Can It Be," "Too Many Dreams," "I'm Free," and "Back In Liv ingston," it knew that a tuneful evening waited. Director Bob Huber and Marion Cannon in the leading roles brought to life the story of a Greenwich Village artist's struggle with a life of art op posed to a life of commerce. The final curtain of "Studio On The Square" brought from the audience ap plause, praise, and anticipation of next year's show. In 1948, the group abandoned Broad way for its basic material and worked from an original story by Greenhoe, Opland and Earl Brigham. The result was a costume musical set in New Or leans at the turn of the century. Com bining such sure-fire musical comedy material as a lady balloon ascensionist, a • traveling carnival, and a glittering ball; adding a run-away balloon and a touch of voo doo, The Dionysians got their most recent offering, "What Goes Up." Against picturesque scenes set in the carnival grounds, New Orleans' Opera House, and a lonely bayou, the singers and dancers recreated the gay spirit of the time with songs like "Remembering Is Being In Love," "Carnival," "I For give You Foolish Girl," and "Cross Winds." the Aside from the bright lights, music, and costumes, The Dionysians is run like any business organization. Problems of tickets, publicity, and finances have to be considered, for The Dionysians is a stu dent group and receives no financial aid from costumes, college. Rented material for set construction, programs, and countless other items must be paid for from the income of the current show. The benefits of The Dionysians are two-fold. Each spring MSC is treated to a tuneful evening in the theatre, but this are even more the benefits than themselves. Men and to the students women interested in the arts find the annual production an effective show case for their work and ingenuity. The curtain never really comes down on a Dionysians offering. The next day, a catchy tune from the show can be heard on campus as someone whistles while walking between classes. And for The Dionysians themselves, the falling curtain means that it's time to get back to the drawing board, or the piano, or the typewriter, to begin work on next year's production.
