TO  ALUMNI  OF MICHIGAN  STATE  COLLEGE: 

Comparison  of  the  fall 

term  enroll 
ments  in  the  School  of  Graduate  Studies 
daring  the  period  from  1938  to  1948 
gives  a  picture  of  the  decrease  and in 
crease  in  the  size  of  the  school  before, 
during  and  after  the  war.  The  pre-war 
peak  enrollment  was  359,  recorded  in 
1940  when  college  enrollment  was  at  a 
high  of  6,776.  The low  of  134  occurred 
in  1943, when  the  total  civilian  enroll 
ment  had dropped  to  3,484. 

Graduate  Students  Total  1,218 

During  the  next  two-year  period,  the 
war  ended,  the  first  G.  I.  students  ap 
peared,  and  the  college  was  reorganized 
into  the  Basic  College,  the  schools  of 
Agriculture,  Business  and Public  Service, 
Engineering,  Home  Economics,  Science 
and  Arts,  Veterinary  Medicine  and 
Graduate  Studies.  By the 1948 fall  term, 
enrollment  of  Michigan  State  had  in 
creased  to  an  all-time  high  of  16,010. 
and  graduate  enrollment  had  increased 
to  1,218. 

During  the  1947-48  year,  a  total  of 
1,300  students  took  graduate  work  lead 
ing  to  advanced  degrees  in  the  School 
of  Graduate  Studies.  This  represented  a 
20  per  cent  increase  over  the  preceding 
year. 

This  phenomenal  growth  of  more  than 
800  per  cent  can be  attributed  to  oppor 
tunities  for  advanced  study  under  the 
Veterans  Administration,  demands  of in 
institutions  for 
dustry  and  educational 
personnel  with  graduate 
training,  and 
backing  of  the  graduate  program  by the 
college  administration. 

Faculty  Formally  Organized  in 1945 

The  graduate 

faculty  was  formally 
organized  in  the  spring  of  1945, and  a 
total  membership  of  145  members  was 
approved  by  the  Graduate  Council.  This 
included  those  actively  engaged  in  teach 
ing  graduate  courses  and directing  study, 
many  of  whom  had  been  active  in  the 
development  of  advanced  studies  for  a 
number  of  years. 

taken 

The  great  post-war  influx  of  graduate 
students  necessitated  a  rapid  increase  in 
the  size  of  the  graduate  faculty,  with 
recruits 
the  newer  and 
from 
younger  members  of  the  college  staff. 
In  accordance  with  rating  standards  set 
by  the North  Central  Association  of  Col 
leges,  new  members  must  have  the de 
gree  of  doctor  of  philosophy,  in  addition 
to  other  requirements.  For the  time be 
ing,  exceptions  are  made  in  the  field  of 
engineering,  certain  fields  of  home  eco 
nomics,  music  and  fine  arts.  Present 
membership  of 
faculty 
totals  approximately 300.

Graduate  work  may be taken  in  almost 
all  departments  of  the  college  offering-
undergraduate  degrees.  Students  may 
receive  master's  degrees  in  any  one of 
56  fields,  and  doctor's  degrees  in 25. 

Foreign  Students  Increase 

An  indication  of  the  increasing  recog 
nition  being  gained  by  the  School  of 
Graduate  Studies  may  be  seen  in  the 
steadily  increasing  enrollment  of  foreign 
students.  The  total  number  of  foreign 
students  taking  graduate  work  has  risen 
from  73 in  1946 to  150 in  1947 and 232 
in  the  fall  term  of  1948.

in  the 
training  of  college 
teachers.  After  a 
thorough  study,  the faculty  of  the  School 
of  Graduate  Studies  voted  to  offer  a 
series  of  new  programs  leading  to  the 
doctor  of  philosophy  degree. 

Basic  College  Is  Praised 

The  training  provided  in  these  pro 
grams  furnishes  a  broad  foundation  for 
prospective  college  teaching  without  sac

field.  The  programs  are  par

for 
general  education,  but are also  considered 
excellent  preparation  for college  teaching 
in  specialized  areas. 

teachers 

The  existence  of  the  Basic  College,  a 
nationally  known  program 
in  general 
education,  creates  a  favorable  situation 
for  the  establishment  of  programs  of 
graduate  study  for  prospective  teachers 
by  combining  the facilities  of  Basic  Col 
lege  with  the School  of  Graduate  Studies. 
Advanced  study  in  larger  content  areas, 
and  an  adequate  foundation  in  a  special 
field  are  the  major  provisions.

Alma  Mater  for  Michigan  State 
Michigan  State  students  go to  the  polls 
March  3  in  a  special  election  to  choose 
a  new  Alma  Mater  for  the  college. 

The  vote  climaxes  a  period  of  growing-
dissatisfaction  on  the  part  of  students, 
who  for  many  years  have  cried  that  the 
Spartan  Alma  Mater  "is  stolen 
from 
this  nature  have 
Cornell."  Drives  of 
come  to  be  almost  traditional,  although 
none  have  progressed  so  far  as  to  be 
submitted  to  popular  vote.  During  the 
present  year,  students  threatened  to  sub 
stitute  other  songs  in  place  of  the  40-
year-old  school  song  at  special  assem 
blies,  including  the  Homecoming  game. 

Administration  Gives  Approval 

The  Student  Council,  acting  on  strong-
student  support,  got  to  work  and  started 
the  ball  rolling  for  examination  of  new 
compositions  and  a  few  old  ones.  Presi 
dent  Hannah  voiced  administrative  ap 
proval  when  he  said:  "If  the  Student 
Council  can  prove  to  the  administration 
that  a  majority  of  the  student  body 
wants  a  new  Alma  Mater,  and  can  so 
decide  in  the  next  six  months,  they  will 
get  it  without  delay." 
Within  a  short 

the  Spartan 
campus  became  a  veritable  "Tin  Pan 
Alley"  as  students,  music  professors  and 
some  alumni  submitted 
their  composi

McDonel,  secretary  of  the  State  Board 
of  Agriculture. 

Shaw,  who  has  been  President-Emer 
itus  of  the  college  since  his  retirement 
in  1941,  served  the  institution  for  39 
years, 
including  13  as  president.  He 
joined  the  staff  in  1902  as  professor  of 
agriculture;  was  named  dean  of  agricul 
ture  in  1908;  and  became  president  in 
1928.  Shaw  also  served  as  acting  presi 
dent  three  times  between  1921 and  1928 
and  was  given  the  honorary  degree  of 
doctor  of  agriculture  by  Michigan  State 
College  in  1922. 

The  new men's  dormitory,  to be  located 
on  the  South  bank  of  the  Red  Cedar 
River  near  the  Agricultural  Engineering-
building,  will  accommodate  1,060  men

dents,  will  be  submitted  to  the  students 
in  the  March  3  vote.  Best  known  and 
is  "MSC 
ranked  as  a  slight  favorite 
Shadows,"  written  by  Barney  Traynor, 
former  Spartan  athletic  coach.  Others 
are  "Hymn  of  MSC"  by  John  Nauer, 
Saginaw  senior,  and two melodies  written 
'48,  and  H.  R. 
by  Winford  Barnum, 
Evans,  director  of  music  in  the  Bay  City 
public  schools.  The  latter  songs  are new 
melodies  to  the  words  of  the  present 
Alma  Mater. 

Vote  Requirement  Is  High 

An  intensive  campaign  is  under  way 
to  let  the  students  hear  all  of  the  songs, 
many  times  if  they  desire.  Public  ad 
dress  systems  in  the  dormitories,  fra 
ternity  sings,  and  concerts  by  the  college 
bands  and  glee  clubs  are  but  some  of  the 
methods  to  be  employed. 

Biggest  obstacle  to  changing  the  Alma 
Mater  is  the  pi-ovision  that  at  least  7,500 
students  must  vote,  and  that  the  winning-
song  must  have  a  definite  majority  of 
the  votes  cast.  This  vote  requirement  is 
about  twice  the  number  ever  cast  in  any 
previous  campus  election. 

Alumni  Day  Scheduled

Alumni  Day  1949  will  be  one  of  the 
"biggest  and  best  in  the  history  of  Mich

Extensive  plans  for  the  June  4  reunion 
are  being  made  by  the  college  alumni 
office,  although  a  final  schedule  has  not 
been  completed.  All  of  the  traditional 
and  some  new  events  are  being  planned. 
Members  of  the  classes  of  1904, 1909, 
1914,  1919,  1924,  1929,  1934,  1939  and 
1944  will  have  special  reunion  dinners 
and  members  of  the  1899  class  will  take 
part  in  the  traditional  Patriarchs'  Din

Included  in  the  Alumni  Day  week-end

they  had  "the  choice  of

such  an  "ultimatum"  had  been  delivered.

SUMMER  SCHOOL 

Two  six-week  sessions  will  be  offered 
this  summer  by  Michigan  State  College, 
according  to  Robert  S.  Linton,  registrar 
and  secretary  of  the  faculty  planning 
group. 

Although  it  had  been  previously  an 
term 
nounced 
that  a  single  six-week 
would  be  given  this  summer,  the  college 
added  another  because  of  the  increased

erans.  For  the  past  six  years,  MSC  has 
offered  two  six-week  sessions,  in  addition 
to  a  full  12-week  term. 

The  first  session  will  run  from  June  18 
to  July  26,  and  the  second  from  July  27 
to  Sept.  3.  Linton  estimated  that  about

Michigan State Adopts 
New Scholarship Plan 
Approximately  750  scholarships 

for 
high  school  and  junior  college  students 
throughout  the  state  of  Michigan  will 
be  made  available  this  year  through  a 
new  scholarship  program  of  Michigan 
State  College. 

The  program,  to  be  effective 

immedi 
ately,  was  approved  at  the  Feb. 10  meet 
ing  of  the  State  Board  of  Agriculture, 
governing  body  of  the  college.  First 
grants  under  the  new  plan  will  be  made 
for  the  1949-50  college  year,  according 
to  Prof.  Arthur  J.  Clark,  chairman  of 
MSC's  scholarship  committee. 

Over  700  to  High  Schools 
Of  this  total,  625  are  earmarked  for 
qualified  high  school  seniors,  one  for 
each  Michigan  high  school  on  the  ap 
proved  list  of  the  State  Department  of 
Public  Instruction,  and  an  additional  100 
"at  large"  grants  to  accommodate  larger 
high  schools.  A  smaller  group  will  be 
available  for  junior  college  sophomores, 
on  the  basis  of  one  scholarship  for  every 
200  junior  college  students.  The  scholar 
ship  plan  was  patterned  after  those  in 
institu 
effect  at  other  state-supported 
tions. 

Financial  Need  Is  Considered 

The  scholarships  will  cover  total  course 
fees  at  Michigan  State,  and  may  apply 
for  four  years  if  the  student  maintains 
a  specified  high  scholastic  average,  Clark 
said.  Basic  requirements  for  the  grants 
will  be  an  honor  scholastic  average  and 
financial  need. 

The 

scholarship  plan.  Prof.  Clark 
pointed  out, is  designed  to  provide  oppor 
tunity  of  a higher  education  for  outstand 
ing  high  school  graduates  who might  not 
be  financially  able  to attend  college.  This 
new  program  will  replace  the  present 
scholarship  plan,  which  for  a  number  of 
years  has  made  available  64  scholarships 
for  the  state  of  Michigan.

Voice  Protest  of  Draft  S u m m o ns 
Former  merchant  mariners  at  Michi 
gan  State  College  voiced  a  protest  last 
month  that  was  heard  around  the  nation, 
and  particularly  in  Washington,  D. C. 

Veterans  of  America.  Louis  W.  Garver, 
Mason  junior,  spokesman  for  the  club, 
believes  that  the  drive  will  "mushroom" 
even  more  before  the  81st  Congress  con 
cludes. 

It  all  started  when  a  number  of  MSC 
students,  who  had  served  more  than  18 
war-time  months  with  the  United  States 
draft 
merchant  marines,  got 
papers.  Surprised  and  unhappy, 
they 
organized  a  campaign 
to  secure  draft 
exemptions,  government  aid  for  educa 
tion,  disability  pensions  and  other  bene 
fits  extended  to  other  servicemen.

"Convoy  of  Bags"  Started 
The  merchant  mariners  inaugurated  a 
nation-wide  "Convoy  of  Bags,"  and  by 
mid-February,  more  than  35  schools  and 
colleges 
the  nation  had 
joined  in  the  protest.  The  campaign  con

The  drive  of  the  Spartan  students  has

W. A. Taylor, '88, Dies 

William  A.  Taylor,  '88,  chief  of  the 
Bureau  of  Plant  Industry  of  the  U.  S. 
Department  of  Agriculture  for  22  years, 
died  Feb. 9 at  his  winter  home  in  Colum 
bus,  Ohio. 

Born  in  Chelsea,  Mich.,  in  1863,  Dr. 
Taylor  received  his  bachelor's  degree  in 
1888  and  his  doctor  of  science  degree  in 
1913,  both  from  Michigan  State. 

An  international  authority  in  the  field 
of  pomology,  Dr.  Taylor  served  with 
the 
USDA  for  42  years  and  headed 
Bureau  of  Plant  Industry  from  1913  to 
1935,  when  he  retired.  He  served  as 
horticultural  expert  on  several 
inter 
national  commissions  of  the  U.  S.  Gov 
ernment.

Farmers'  Week.  Michigan's  biggest 
winter  agricultural  event,  drew  more 
than  35,000  rural  visitors  to the  Michigan 
State  campus  January  24  through  28. 

The  second  post-war  renewal  of  Farm 
ers'  Week  proved  even  more  successful 
than 
the  1948  event,  which  attracted 
over  30,000  persons.  Despite  bad  weather, 
farmers  and  their  families  came  to  view 
the  latest  in  farm  and  home  methods. 
All  departments  of  the  schools  of  agri 
culture  and  home  economics  united  to 
stress  the  theme  "Modern  Farming  for 
Modern  Times,"  which  featured  all  kinds 
of  new  farm  equipment. 

Anthony  Praises  Farmers 

Dean  E.  L.  Anthony,  who  head'-d  plans 
for 
"This 
the  program,  commented: 
year's  large  attendance  proved  that  Mich 
igan's  farmers  are  seeking  better  ways 
to  do  the  big  job  of  providing  food  for 
the  hungry  world  both  at  home  and 
abroad." 

A  number  of  buildings  were 

turned 
over  almost  entirely  to  displays.  A  large 
machinery  show  in  the  new  Agricultural 
Engineering  building  drew  record  crowds, 
as  did  the  exhibit  of  smaller  equipment 
in  Demonstration  Hall.

MSC to Give  Engineering 
Registration  Examinations 

Michigan  engineering  registration  ex 
aminations  will  be held  at  Michigan  State 
College  next  June. 

Notification  was  made  in  a  letter  to 
the  college  engineering  department  in 
January  from  Watts  Shelley,  executive 
secretary  for  the  Board  of  Engineering 
Registration  in  Detroit. 

Previously  senior  engineers  from  MSC 
and  candidates  from  the central  Michigan 
area  made  the  trip  to  Detroit  to  take 
the  examination.  With  the  establishment 
of  MSC  as  a  certifying  agency,  candi 
dates  may  take  the  tests  either  in  De 
troit  or  East  Lansing. 

The  examination  is  similar  to  state  bar 
examinations.  Engineers  are  required  to 
pass  it  before  they  can  practice  certain 
types  of  engineering  work  in  a  super 
visory  capacity.

Baseball  Team  Prepares  for  Southern  Trip 

By  Bud  Erickson 

The  Spartan  "Southland  Special" 

is 

ready  to  roll! 

Coach  John  H.  Kobs  will 

lead  his 
into  the  South 
Spartan  baseball 
for  the  21st  year  for  a  nine-game  train 
ing  trip  beginning-  March  21.

Thirteen  Lettermen  Return 

Kobs  has  thirteen  lettermen  back  from 
last  year's  team,  plus  a  promising  group 
of  sophomore  candidates. 

Heading  a  list  of  returning  lettermen 
in-
is  Captain  Danny  Urbanik,  Flint 
fielder  and  last  year's  leading  hitter  with 
a  mark  of  .340.  Another  top-notch  per 
former,  shortstop  Frank  Bagdon  of  Rock-
ford,  111., is  available  and  should  continue 
in  his  standout  spot  both  at  bat  and  in 
the  field. 
Other 

include: 
outfielders  George  Rutenbar,  Detroit;  Ed 
Sobczak,  Pittsburgh,  Pa.;  Joe  Bechard. 
Detroit;  and  Wendell  Lawrence,  White-
house,  O.;  and 
include  Jack 
Dillon,  Grosse  Pointe,  Mich.,  and  Joe 
Barta,  Detroit.

Have  Promising  Sophomore  Pitchers 

sophomores, 

Several  of  last  year's  pitchers,  plus 
some  outstanding 
should 
give  the  Spartans  a  well  blanced  mound 
corps.  Lou  Bloch,  last  year's  top  hurier, 
is  being  counted  on  heavily  for  the  com 
ing  year.  Bloch,  a  Dearborn,  Mich., 
right  hander,  won  two  and  lost  two  last 
season.  Number  one  sophomore  pitching 
prospect,  according  to  Coach  Kobs,  is 
Charles  P.  "Buz"  Bowers,  right  hander 
from  Wayland,  Mass. 

Additional  pitching  strength 

should 
come  from 
letterwinners  Bob  Krestel, 
football  quarterback  and  a  regular  last 
year;  Dirk  Dieters,  Detroit  right  hander; 
and  Neil  Ricketts,  from  Lansing,  Mich. 

Landrith  Joins  Reds 

Spartan  catching  duties  will  probably 
fall  to  veteran  Ed  Zbiciak,  Flint  junior. 
Zbiciak  batted  .293  last  year  for  Michi 
gan  State. 

One  of  Kobs'  major  disappointments  of 
the  year  was 
the  recent  drafting  of 
"Hobie"  Landrith,  Detroit  sophomore  and 
former  sandlot  luminary,  by  the  Cincin 
nati  Reds.  Also  a  catcher,  Landrith  was 
twice  chosen  to  represent  the  Motor  City 
in  National  Ail-Star  baseball  games. 

The  Michigan  State  southern  schedule 
is  as  follows:  Mar.  23, Eastern  Kentucky 
Teachers,  Richmond,  Ky.;  Mar.  24,  Ten

Just  what  does  Coach  Karl  Schlademan 
have  to  rate  such  high  praise  from  a 
fellow  coach  ?  Here's  a  quick  run  down: 
Dash  men—In  Fred  Johnson  and  Bob 
Schepers,  the  Spartans  have two  sprinters 
who  can  hold  their  own  in  any  competi 
tion.  Johnson  equalled  the  Relays  record 
of  7:6  for  the  75-yard  dash,  while  Schep 
ers  took  a  close  second  in  the  300-yard 
run. 

Middle  and  long  distance  runners—In 
Jack  Dianetti,  Bill  Mack,  Warren  Druetz-
ler,  Tom  Irmen  and  several  others,  State 
has  championship  threats  in  every  dis 
tance  event.

Hurdlers—Horace  Smith  and  Paige 
last 
Christiansen, 
year,  are  as  good  as  they  ever  come  over 
the  high  barriers,  while  Smith  and  Fred 
Johnson  are  tops  over  the  low  timbers. 
Smith  was  a  double  winner  at  the  Re 
lays,  but  Johnson  is  just  as  good  as  his 
team  mate. 

Johnson  Rated  All-Around  Ace 

Broad  jumper—This  is  the  third  star 
ring  role  for  Fred  Johnson  in  any  track 
and  field  meet.  The  all-around  ace  does 
better  than  24  feet  consistently  and  on 
occasions  can  top  25  feet.  He  won  the 
Relays  championship  with  a  leap  of  24 
feet  8%  inches. 

Those  mentioned  are  just  the  top  stars. 
Right  behind  them  are  a  couple  of  dozen 
athletes,  many  of  whom  may  break  into

makes  Michigan  State  a  great  team  that 
may  set  some  new  records  this  year. 
It

depth. 

Seven  Big  Ten  Teams 

Scheduled  Before  1953 

Michigan  State  may  not  be  playing  a 
full  Big  Ten  football  schedule  until  1953, 
but  Spartan  alumni  and  fans  can  count 
on  seeing  plenty  of  action  against  West 
ern  Conference  foes  before  that  time. 

Seven  Games  Scheduled 

Seven  games  have  been  booked  for  the 
years  1950-51-52, although  State's  formal 
acceptance 
is  not 
expected  until  spring,  when  final  certi 
fication  of  athletic  standards  will  be 
made. 

the  Conference 

into 

Hardest  bargain  of  all  was  driven  by 
Michigan's  Athletic  Director  Fritz  Cris-
ler.  Although  all  other  games  are  being-
booked  on  a  home  and  home  basis,  Crisler 
refused  on  these  terms.  Spartan  athletic 
officials  were  forced  to  accept  what  stu 
dents  termed  an  "ultimatum"—the  next 
three  games  to  be  played  at  Ann  Arbor. 
Although  the  1953  game  will  be  played 
in  East  Lansing,  Crisler  gave  no  com 
mitment  as  to  the  future  football  sched 
uling  plans  between  the  two  universities. 

Minnesota  Signs  Pact 

Minnesota  had  been  signed  for  a  game 
at  East  Lansing  in  1950  even  before  the 
to  accept 
Western  Conference  voted 
State's  bid 
for  membership.  Another 
game  will  be  played  with  the  Gophers 
in  1951  or  1952,  according  to  Athletic 
Director  Ralph  Young. 

By  years,  State's  schedules  now  show 
these  definite  Big  Ten  dates:  1950—Mich 
igan,  Minnesota,  Indiana;  1951—Mich 
igan,,  Ohio  State;  1952—Michigan,  Pur

Although  Fortino  still  holds  the  "mod

A  minimum  of  five  games  against 
member  teams  is  needed  before  a  team 
can  compete  for  the  Conference  title.  It 
is  not  impossible  that  the  Spartan  grid-

By  Madison  Kuhn 

A  visit  with  L.  Whitney  Watkins,  '93, 
and  Mrs.  Watkins  in  their  home  in  Clin 
ton  reveals  a  man  with  many  friends, 
although  his  scrapbooks  tell  of  a  strenu

There  was  the  time  he  was  locked  in 
the  Cadillac  jail.  Four  years  out  of  col 
lege  and  deputy  state  game  warden,  he 
was  returning  from  the  Upper  Peninsula 
where  he  had  made  a  record  number  of 
arrests—nearly  two  hundred—for  illegal 
killing  of  deer.  "Venison  stew,  hunter's 
style"  on  the  menu  of  the  Cadillac  hotel 
at  which  he  stopped  was  a  challenge. 
When  the  owner  of  the  hotel,  a  deputy 
sheriff,  seemed  to  be  reaching  for  his 
gun,  the  young  man  whose  nose  had 
in  college  boxing 
been  broken 
countered:  "Don't  do  it—as  a  state  officer 
I  outrank  you."  But  the  local  sheriff  re 
fused

Watkins  found  himself  behind  bars  for 
interfering  with  an  officer.

Gov.  Pingree  Liked  "Hell  Raising" 
Chase  Osborne,  state  game  warden, 
got  him  out  of  jail  and  later  they  won 
the  case  but  the  episode  was  not  closed. 
A letter  from  Governor  Pingree  requested 
his  appearance  at  the  governor's  office. 
Watkins  went.  He  recalls  the  governor 
saying:  "I  like  you.  You've  raised  more 
hell  than  any  game  warden  in  the  state. 
I  am  going  to  appoint  you  to  the  State 
Board  of  Agriculture.  They're  dying  of 
dry  rot  out  there  at  the  college  and  I 
want  you  to  go  out  there  and  raise  hell 
with  them." 

With  such  a  mandate  from  a  crusading 
governor,  the  26-year-old  Watkins  was 
times 
expected 
among  the  dignified  gentlemen  on 
the 
board.  That  those  six  years  proved  rea

Was  MSC's  "Father  of  Athletics" 

Best  remembered  are  the  actions  that 
brought  Watkins  the  title  of  "father  of 
athletics." 
In  his  college  days  he  had 
sold  fifteen  cent  tickets  to  Lansing  mer 
chants  for  unfenced  baseball  games  and 
with  the  money  brought  in  a  D.  A.  C. 
trainer  to  coach  the  team.  Now  he  pro 
posed  that  the  college  employ  an  athletic 
coach.  One  member  objected  that  play 
was  one  thing  in  which  students  needed 
instruction  and  no  encouragement.

Some  believed  that  coaches  were  immoral 
fellows  who  would  stoop  to  any 
trick 
for  the  sake  of  victory. 
In  a  compromise, 

that 
Watkins  might  have  his  coach  if  he  could 
find  a  minister-athlete  who  would  teach 
both  good  morals  and  athletic 
skill. 
Charles  O.  Bemies,  a  graduate  of  West 
ern  Theological  Seminary,  became  our 
first  coach  and  Watkins  had  begun  a 
long  career  of  service  to  the  athletic 
program  at  MSC.  Highpoints  were  the 
purchase  of  the  land  south  of  the  river 
where  the  athletic  plant  now  stands  and, 
twenty  years  later,  the  decision  to  build 
the  stadium  on  a  self-liquidating  basis.

funds.  Watkins  won.  When  the  name 
of  the  institution  was  changed  to  Michi

over  100  letters  branding  him  a  traitor 
to  the  agricultural  interests  of  the  state. 
Three  times  the  board,  of  which  Watkins 
was  chairman  for  nine  years,  requested

"Like  father  like  son," is  an  old  adage 
which  applies  well  to the  newspaper  field, 
and  Robert  G.  Green,  '48,  would  be  the 
last  person  to  dispute  it.

Green  since  graduation  from  MSC has 
worked  as  a  reporter  on  the  Port  Huron

Carl  H.  Peterson  Gets 
New  Post  in  Saginaw 

Carl  H.  Peterson, 

'15,  former  city 
manager  of  Saginaw,  has  been  appointed 
director  of  welfare  and  public  housing 
for  that  city.  He  had  been  Saginaw  city 
manager  since  1940. 

After  graduation  from  MSC, he  served 
with  the  state  highway  department  as 
to  his 
inspector.  He  returned 
bridge 
home  town,  Cadillac, to become  city  engi 
neer  and  assistant  city  manager  in 1916. 
In  1921  he  was  named  the  first  city 
manager  of  Mt.  Pleasant,  Mich. 

Three  years  later  he  became  manager 
of  Ferndale  and  in  1929 went  into  private 
business  in  Detroit.  In  1934  he  became 
city  manager  of  Muskegon  and  remained 
at  that  post  until  his  Saginaw  appoint 
ment.  He  was  considered  for  the  job  in 
Saginaw  on  the  basis  of  his  superior 
knowledge  of  municipal  financing. 

Peterson  has  won  national  recognition 
for  translating  municipal  problems  into 
charts  and  graphs.  He  firmly  believes 
that  it  is  easier  to  translate  ideas  and 
programs  by  means  of  pictures  than  the 
printed  word.  A 
former  professional 
baseball  player,  he  pitched  on the  varsity 
while  attending  MSC.  He  is  married  and 
has  three  children.
