Tribute  Paid  by  Hannah 

Pres.  John  A.  Hannah,  of  Michigan 
State  College,  paid  high  tribute  to  More: 
"It  was typical  of  E.  B. More  that  he 
was  actively  serving  Michigan  State  Col

illness,  for  he  had  devoted  much  of  his

THE  A F F A I RS  OF  S T A TE 

STUDENT  AFFAIRS 

The  Time  Has  Come 

Seniors  were  busy  last  month  creating 
something  for  Michigan  State  College  to 
remember  them  by. 

Events,  social,  academic  and  those  with 
a  definite  alumni  wrinkle,  were  leading 
up  to  Commencement  ceremonies  in  Jeni-
son  Fieldhouse  June  4. 

President  John  A.  Hannah 

received 
seniors  in  the  Union  building  May  23 
and  24, and  the  traditional  Senior  Swing-
out  was  held  May  25.  Lantern  Night 
was  on  the  last  day  of  May. 

June  was  to  be  the  last  lap  for  4,102 
undergraduate  and  graduate  degree  can 
didates,  the  largest  graduating  class  in 
the  history  of  the  college. 

The  annual  Water  Carnival,  with  its 
float  armada  on  the  Red  Cedar  river, 
was  to  be  launched  for  a  three-day  run 
June  1-3.  Alumni  Day,  which  would  in 
clude  the  Alumni-Commencement  dance, 
was  scheduled  for  June  3. 

As 

it  must 

to  all  graduates,  Com 
mencement  will  come  for  4,102  at  Mich 
igan  State  College  June  4,  in  Jenison 
Fieldhouse. 

Meantime,  other  students  were  astride 
new  collegiate  fads,  riding  them  into  the 
ground,  and  some  thought  up  a  few  new 
ideas. 

Karl  Koths'  masquerade  was  over.  He 
decided  to  find  if  a  man 
in  feminine 
clothing  could  have  an  anonymous  night 
on  the  town.  He  told  bar  patrons  at 
that  he  was  Carol  Ann 
Williamston 
Smith,  late  of  Oklahoma,  visiting  friends. 
Jailed  for  the  night,  the  married  vet 

eran  had  no  comment. 

Williamston  officers  theorized  he  was 
"too  wrapped  up  in  a  psychology  course 
at  the  college." 

Three  coeds  tried  to  put  the  heat  on 
nature  with  a  sun  lamp.  Tanning  their 
shoulders  for  the  Spinster  Spin,  they  got 
an  overdose  of  artificial  sun.  Result: 
Three  blistered,  one  hospitalized. 

Students  in  late  April  were  picking  the 
Ugliest  Man  on  Campus  from  a  field  of 
their  strangely  aspiring  fellows.  Each 
student  paid  one  cent  each  for  as  many 
votes  as  he  or  she  cared  to  cast,  with 
the  proceeds  going  to  the  Campus  Com 
munity  Chest. 

One 

candidate,  name  of 

"Chops," 
wandered  in  and  around  every  nook  and 
cranny  of  the  campus  with  a  box  over 
his  head,  dressed  in  a  cloak  and  dragging 
chains  from  his  shoulders.  Perseverance

years  ago.  Gerald  E.  Smith,  '47,  East

home  to  students—in 
interests  of 
better  international  understanding.

In  early  April,  Smith  leased  the  entire 
house  and  the  All-Nations  Cooperative 
house  was  given  official  campus  status. 
There  is  no  pigeonholing  of  national 
traditions,  according  to  Mrs.  Lurline  M. 
Lee,  counselor  for 
the  ten  cooperative 
houses.  That's  why  recently  a  dinner 
menu  carried  Italian  spaghetti  prepared 
by  a  Chinese  chef. 

"The  house  gives  Michigan  State  Col

and  the  world,"  said  Mrs.  Lee.

Big  events  of 

the  week-end  "open

neering  Exposition  May  12-13,  and  the 
High  School  Visitation  Day  May  13. 

Student  engineers  displayed  70  exhib 
its  of  engineering  "know-how"  of  past, 
present  and  future  for  high  school  and 
college  students  and  their  parents. 

On  Saturday,  high  school  seniors  and 
their  parents 
looked  over  Michigan 
State's  facilities  in  a  program  directed 
by  Dr.  Guy  Hill,  coordinator  of  high

open  long-closed  doors  to  knowledge  that 
will  benefit  man. 

Horticulturists,  with  a  long  record  of 
research  achievement,  were  set  for  an 
other  study  of  the  effects  of  growth 
regulators,  such  as  2,4-D,  on  nutritive 
value  in  plants.  The  Rockefeller  Foun

ANCIENT  MANUSCRIPT:  Fif

is  added  by  Dr.  Arnold

An  Old, Old Story 

English  scholars  at  Michigan  State 
College  were  brushing  up  on  their  most 
ancient  verbs  and  nouns  this  spring— 
and  the  older  the  better. 

Dr.  Arnold  Williams,  associate  profes 
sor  of  English,  returned  from  Europe 
with  an  English  translation  of  "Medita 
tions  on  the  Life  of  Christ"  estimated  to 
be  550  years  old. 

The  book,  first  written  in  Latin  by 
St.  Bonaventure,  a  Franciscan  monk,  in 
1260  A.  D.,  was  translated  in  the  early 
15th  Century.  Dr.  Williams 
said  he 
found  the  manuscript  while  browsing  in 
a  London  book  store.  He  spent  last  year 
studying  in  Europe  under  a  Guggenheim 
Fellowship  award. 

The  book  was  introduced  to  Michigan 
State  College  English 
tomes  before  a 
meeting  of  the  Literature  Club  by  Dr. 
Williams. 

Conventions  to MSC 

Michigan  State  College,  grown  to  the 
full  stature  of  one  of  the  nation's  most 
prominent  universities,  has  drawn  two 
more  prominent  conventions  for  early 
1951. 

The  Association  of  College  Unions  has 
chosen  Michigan  State  for  its  28th  an 
nual  convention  in  April,  1951, and  Inter-
Fraternity  and  Pan-Hellenic  council  rep 
resentatives  from  Big  Ten  colleges  will 
meet  on  the  Spartan  campus  early  next 
spring.

Michigan  State  College  succumbed  re

Roseboom,  71, and  Mrs. Ledah  E.  Thomp

Mrs.  Roseboom,  who  retired 

in  1940 
after  37  years  with  the  Department  of 
English,  died  April  3  in  Auburn,  N.  Y., 
after  a  year's  illness.  She  was  the  wife 
of  B.  B.  Roseboom,  who  retired  as  head 
of  the  MSC  Department  of  Physiology 
and  Pharmacology  in  July,  1949. 

A  native  of  Cedar  Falls,  Iowa,  Mrs. 
Roseboom  received  her  A.B.  degree  from 
Wellesley  College,  Mass.,  in  1904.  She 
joined  the  Michigan  State  College  staff 
in  1905, and  rose  to  the  rank  of  associate 
professor  prior  to  retirement  in  1941.

Memphis,  Tenn.,  after  a  brief  illness. 

Mrs.  Thompson's  first  post  at  MSC  was 
as  housemother  for  the  Women's  Build

E a rs  of  Corn  May  Reveal  Secret 
Of  Western  Civilization's  Origin 

Where  did  Western  hemisphere  civil

historians  have  puzzled  over  this  ques 
tion  for  many  years.  A  collection  of

As  geneticist  for  the  renowned  Shaw's 
Garden 
of 
botany  at  Washington  University,  Dr. 
Anderson  has  had  much  time  to  follow 
this  unique  scientific  research. 

Has  World  Famous  Collection 
Perhaps  no  crop  has  such  a  long  record 
of  cultivation  as  corn.  Yet 
relatively 
little  is  known  of  its  history  and  devel 
opment.  When  Dr.  Anderson  began  his 
project 
in  1935,  existing  classifications 
of  corn  varieties  were  50  years  old  and 
did  not  suit  his  purposes.  Now  he  pre

man.  In  a  way,  the  history  of  corn  is

the  best-documented  histories  we  have. 
When  the  evidence  is  joined,  we  shall 
have  a  record  of  the  migrations  and  de 
velopments  of  peoples  and  cultures." 

It 

is  expected 

that  Dr.  Anderson's 
study  of  corn  will  help  solve  the  riddle 
of  whether  civilization 
this  hemi

its  roots  in  the  East.

son  believes  it  may  reveal  new  facts 
on the  origin  of  Western  Civilization. 

Dr.  Anderson  grew  up  in  East  Lansing 
where  his  father  was  a  member  of  the 
Dairy  Department  staff  at  MSC. 

Following  his  graduation  from  MSC, 
he  moved  to  Harvard  and  received  M.S. 
and  Sc.D.  degrees.  Dr.  Anderson  was 
arborist  for  Harvard's  Arnold  Arboretum 
from  1931  to  1935,  when  he  returned  to 
Shaw's  Garden. 
To  show 

to  plants, 
their  devotion 
the  Andersons  have  a  party  each  spring 
to  celebrate  the  blooming  of  their  prized 
Rosa  alba,  the  white  rose  of  which  the 
troubadours  once  sang. 

After  a  short  study  at  MSC  for  Ger 
man  police  officers  last  summer,  Michi 
gan  State  was  selected  by 
the  U.S. 
Department  of  State  for  a  continuing 
four-month  institute  in  American  police 
techniques,  training  programs  and  court 
procedures. 

The  Germans  spent  the 

first  month 
at  Michigan  State  in  classroom  instruc 
tion  by  staff  members  of  the  Department 
of  Police  Administration.  This  month, 
they  were  well  into  an  additional  three-
month  study  tour  of  the  nation's  out 
standing  police  agencies, training  schools, 
traffic  institutes  and  judicial  systems. 

One  German  officer,  Paul  Teichmann, 
a  sergeant  at  Offenbach,  said  one  prob 
lem  of  German  police  work  was  co 
operation  of  the  citizenry  and  a  return 
to  pre-Nazi  respect  for  police  author 
ities. 

Previous  research  has  had  to  depend 
tombs  and  similarity  of 
on  study  of 
Mayan  and  Egyptian  architecture.  A 
crop  such  as  corn,  with  its  many  world 
wide  varieties,  can  provide  more  concrete 
proof  as  to  migrations  of  civilization.

Speakers' Bureau  Formed 
By  School  of  Engineering 

Engineering  professors  have  set  up 
machinery  to  take  their  favorite  lectures 
on  a  series  of  one-night  stands  in  Mich 
igan. 

Dean  of  Engineering  Lorin  G.  Miller 
heads  a  list  of  approximately  60  speakers 
available  to  service  clubs,  business  and 
professional  organizations,  high  school 
and  technical  groups. 

The  subject  list  includes  eight  major 
areas  and  ranges  from  concrete  design 
to  how  to  become  an  engineer. 

"Speakers  will  go  anywhere  in  Mich 
igan  to  speak  before  organizations  on 
any  phase  of  our  activity  here,"  said 
Dean  Miller. 

Cameras  of  the  U.  S.  State  Department 
will  transfer  life  at  Michigan  State  Col 
lege  to  all  parts  of  the  world  as  one 
phase  of  a  gigantic  anti-Communist  pic 
torial  campaign. 

Shooting  began  in  May  on  a  series  to 
be  offered  European  publications,  depict 
ing  MSC  as  a  "typical  American  col 
lege,"  according  to  William  F.  Bennett, 
chief  of  State  Department  photogra 
phers. 

Cited  As  Leading  University 
Michigan  State  was  selected  for 

the 

series  for  three  reasons: 

1.  It  was  the  first  land-grant  college 
established  in  the  United  States  and  is 
today  one  of  the  nation's  leading  land-
grant  universities. 

2. 

It's  highly-advanced 

agriculture 
and  veterinary  medicine  schools  are  of 
particular  interest  in  foreign  countries. 
3.  It  is  an  excellent  commentary  on 
the  life  of  an  average  American  college 
student. 

World-wide  Distribution 
Primary  objective  of  the  photographs, 
Bennett  explained,  is  to  show  how  the 
U.  S.  government  particpates  in  educa 
tion  and  to  counteract  unfavorable  Rus 
sian  propaganda  currently  being  cir 
culated. 

The  pictures  will  be  used  in  Amerika, 
Russian  language  magazine  of  the  De 
partment  of  State  which  penetrates  the 
Iron  Curtain;  motion  pictures; 
film 
slides;  and  in  newspaper  and  magazines 
all  over  the  world.

Michigan  State,  Coach  "Biggie"  Munn  finds  himself  with  several  left  halfback

Book  on  Agricultural 
Law  Proves  Popular 
Farmers,  businessmen,  and 

teachers 
are  finding  "Agricultural  and  Business 
Law  for  the  Farmer,"  to  be  of  great 
value  in  their  work.  Authored  by  V.  O. 
Braun,  '24,  the  book  puts  legal  phrase 
ology  and  tactics  into  simple  language. 
Braun  realized  the  need  for  this  type 
of  handbook  when  he  taught  vocational 
agriculture  at  Owosso  following  gradu 
ation  from  MSC.  He  received  a  law  de 
gree  from  the  University  of  Michigan  in 
1932,  followed  by  first  publication  of  the 
book.  Several  printings  and  revisions 
have  been  issued  since  that  time. 

A  member  of  the  Michigan  legislature 
from  1938  to  1944,  Braun  resides 
in 
Owosso  with  his  wife  and  two  children, 
Robert,  11,  and  Mary,  13.
