There  were  gala  days  for  Michigan 
State  College  in  Pasadena  and  vicinity 
during  the  holidays.  And the  most  gala 
day  of  all  was the big  Rose  Bowl  game 
with  all  its  color  and  pageantry.  The

There  probably  is  no  other  college 
band  in  the  country  to  compare  with 
the  Michigan  Staters.  They  play  well, 
march  with  the  precision  of  West  Point 
ers  (if not with  the same  stately  dignity) 
and  engage  in  mid-field  precision  stunts 
which  would  make  the  Rockettes 
turn 
green  with  envy.

After  all  the  players  had  piled  in, 
Coach  Biggie  Munn  blew  his  whistle. 
His  voice  was choked  and he was  nearly 
in  tears  as  he  told  his  team: 

"I've  never  been  so  proud  of  a  game 
in  my  life.  I  want  to  thank  all  of you. 
There  are  tears  in  my  eyes,  but  I  can't 
help  it.  I  appreciate  it  so  much.  Let's 
say  a  prayer." 

The  entire  squad  went  to  their  knees 
and  some  were  weeping  as  they  prayed. 
"God  bless  you,"  said  Munn  as  the 

prayer  ended.

put  on  the  field  yesterday. 

But  never  was anything  crammed  with 
more  heart  and  hustle  than  those  little

They  were  battered  and  beaten,  phys

It  was  our  pleasure  to  have  luncheon 
with  President  Hannah  after  the  con 
ference.  Our  host  was  an  old  friend, 
Russ  Simmons,  Michigan  State  alumnus, 
former  great  sailing  yacht  helmsman and 
a  top  executive  in  the  Sunkist  Growers' 
Association. 

There  again  Dr.  Hannah  proved  his 
loyalty  to  intercollegiate  athletics  and 
added  to  this  his  deep-seated 
theories 
that  the  success  of  our  nation's  future 
rests  with  the  proper  administration  of 
our  colleges  and  universities. 

We  here  and  now  apologize  to  Dr. 
John  A.  Hannah  for  our  too  hasty  con 
demnation  of  his  work  as  chairman  of 
the  American  Council  on  Education's 
president's  committee. 

We  welcome  the fact  that  he's a  cham 

pion  for  intercollegiate  athletics.

The  Campus  in  January,  1954 

5510 

NINETEEN  HUNDRED  AND  FIFTY-
FOUR  arrived  on  a  still  campus;  a 
campus  barren  of  students,  nearly  barren 
of  faculty  and  staff  members.  It  was 
a  ghost  campus  on  January  1,  1954, just 
as  it  is  always  on New Year's  Day. 

But  this  New  Year's  Day  was  differ 
ent—different  than  any  New  Year's  Day 
in  the  history  of  Michigan  State  College. 
Students  and  faculty  and  staff  were  not 
just  at  home  for  the  holiday.  They  were 
in  California  this  New Year's  Day, repre 
senting  their  university  at  the  annual 
Rose  Bowl  game.  For suddenly  it  seemed 
that  the  whole  campus  had  moved  to 
Pasadena—students,  faculty  and  staff, 
plus  thousands  of  alumni.  To  those  who 
attended  the  Rose  Bowl  game  and  to 
those  who  were  there  via  television  or 
in  spirit,  it  was  obvious  that  another 
milestone 
the  colorful  history  of 
Michigan  State  College  was  reached  on 
this  New  Year's  Day.

Qround'breaking 

Back  on the East  Lansing  campus  there 
was  evidence  of  another  milestone  in 
the  history  of  M.S.C.  Between  the  exist 
ing  library  and  Wells  Hall,  behind  Beal 
Botanical  Gardens  and the  library  annex, 
were  mountainous  snow-capped  hills  of 
dirt,  huge  power  shovels,  great  and 
monstrous-looking 
earth-moving  ma 
chines.  They  were  evidence  that  work 
had  begun  on  the  much-needed, 
long-
awaited 
library—a  library  adequate  to 
the  needs  of  more  than  14,000  students. 
The  Michigan  legislature  had  author 
ized  construction  and  had  appropriated 
the  proposed 
the 
$4,000,000-cost  for  the  new  edifice. 
It 
will  contain  space  for  one  million  vol 
umes,  and will  house  100 faculty  research 
rooms,  200  cubicles  for  graduate  stu 
dents  and  a  specially-equipped  reading 
room  for  blind  students. 

first  $1,000,000  of 

Photographs  in  the  center  column  of 
this  page  show  the  library  site  as  earth-
breaking  was  begun.  College  officials 
hope  the  new  building  will  be  completed 
by  1955,  M.S.C.'s  Centennial  year. 

There  were  many  indications  of  con 
tinued  progress  on  the  M.S.C.  campus 
as  1953  came  to a  close.  On the  threshold 
of  its  99th  year,  Michigan  State  main 
tained  its  position  as  first-of-all  a  uni 
versity  dedicated  to the educational  needs 
of  more  than  14,000  students.  In  serv-

ing  these  educational  needs,  continued 
efforts  were  made  to  provide  as  much 
individual  attention  as  possible.  For 
example,  the  average  class  section  in 
1953  in  the  Basic  College  had  only  32 
students.  There  were  128  courses  of 
the  year,  65  of 
study  offered  during 
them  on  the  graduate  level. 

In  the  physical  plant,  continued  build 
ing  was  underway  in  1953.  Housing  fa 
cilities  including  new  residence  halls  to 
house  2,700  men  were  under  construc 
tion.  The  first  unit,  Butterfield  Hall, 
was  opened  in  late  September.  These 
units  are  constructed  on  a  self-liquidat 
ing  basis  and at  no expense  to the  public. 
Three  12-unit  apartment  buildings  for 
married  students  were  under  construc 
tion  with  one  completed  and  the  other 
two  to  be  finished  in  early  1954.  In  its 
December,  1953 meeting,  the  State  Board 
of  Agriculture  revealed  that  it  hopes  to 
begin  construction  of  a  $l-million  mar 
ried  student  housing  project  by  April. 
This  construction  will  also  be  self-
liquidating  without  cost  to  the  public. 

Overseas 

On  the  international  scene  in  1953, 
Michigan  State  expanded 
its  services 
and  provided  benefits  of  its  experiences 
and  know-how  to  the  people  of  many 
countries. 

The  most  recent  endeavor  was  to  help 
first  school  of  business 
establish 
the 
administration 
in  Brazil.  Participation 
in  this  project  by M.S.C. is being  financed 
by  the  U.S.  Technical  Cooperation  Ad 
ministration.  Two members  of the M.S.C. 
business  school  faculty  will  serve  as 
technical  advisors  each  year.

near  Atlanta  where  it  remained  until 
the  summer  of  1941.  At  that  time  the

YOU  MAY  have  read  recently  about

about  this  fabulous  farm  family  in  Life

Farmers'  Week 

Thousands  of  Michigan  State  College 
alumni  who  see  little  of  their  alma  mater 
at  other  seasons—except  perhaps  for  a 
fast  football  shuttle  on  Saturday  after 
noon—will  be  back  "in  school"  Feb.  1 
to  5. 

Graduates  of  regular  degree  programs 
and  short  course  training  will  be  seeking 
tips  to  do  a  better  job  of  farming.  They 
will  leave  their  neighbors,  families  and 
hired  men  to  do  necessary  chores  while 
they  take  part  in  the  39th  annual  Farm 
ers'  Week.  Wives  will  come  along,  in 
many  cases,  to  benefit  from  home  eco 
nomics  programs  and  some  will  have 
4-H  Club  children  in  a  talent  show. 

What  brings  them  back  to  the  col 
farm 
lege's  annual  "open  house"  for 
folks  besides  a  constant  desire 
for 
knowledge  that  will  improve  their  farm 
ing  and  their  living? 

Some  will  come  for  the  half-hundred 
odd  annual  meetings  of  dairy  breed, 
livestock,  muck 
farming,  beekeeping, 
safety,  flying  farmer  or  other  organiza 
tions  during  Farmers'  Week. 

Some  will  come  to  hear  outstanding 
educational, 
speakers 
in  agricultural, 
business  and  other  fields—speakers 
like 
John  H.  Davis,  assistant  U.S.  secretary 
of  agriculture,  back  from  United  Na 
tions'  food  talks  in  Rome. 

Some  will  come  for  the  entertainment 
programs—with  everything  from  motion 
pictures  on  "Canoe  Trails"  to  the  4-H 
Club  talent  show  and  the  ex-Spartans, 
the  Nate  Fry  Trio. 

An  open  house  in  the  home  economics 
building  each  day  will  give  alumnae  a

in  the  classrooms.

Visitors  this  year  will  learn  about  new 
foods,  and  see  the  expanding  research 
labs  for  foods  and  textiles.  They  will

SPARTANS  SUCCESSFULLY 

INVADE  WEST 

THEY  DID  I T!  And  it  was  a  classic  among  classics—one 
of  the  great  Rose  Bowl  games  in  40  years  of  Rose  Bowl 
history.  The  Spartans  met  an  excellent  team—the  best  of 
the  Pacific  Coast  Conference.  U.C.L.A.  was  "ready"—and 
they  gave  every  M.S.C. fan  a  full  30 minutes  of  goose-pimples. 
Then  the  second  half  began,  and  the  rest  is  sports  history. 

Final  score:  U.C.L.A.  20,  Michigan  State  College,  28. 

On  this  and  the  following  five  pages  we  present  a  picture 
report  of  the  Rose  Bowl  festivities,  action  and  sidelights. 
It  is presented  as  a  souvenir  of  a  milestone  in  Spartan  history.

It's  the  personal  call  in  Cincinnati 

for  better 

results. 

A  More  Active  Club  in  Cincinnati 

A  New  Club  at  Faraway  Okinawa 

took  big 

TWO  alumni  groups 
steps 
recently—one  club  proved  it  could  raise 
money  for 
the  M.S.C.  Roll  Call,  and 
another  group  of  former  M.S.C.  students 
on  the  island  of  Okinawa  in  mid-Pacific 
formed  an  M.S.C.  alumni  club. 

It  was  the  Cincinnati,  Ohio,  club  that 
increased  its  donors  to  the  M.S.C.  Roll 
Call  by  100  per  cent  over  the  previous 
year.  Acting  as  a  "pilot"  group  on  a 
fund-raising  plan  that  Gene  Campbell, 
'38,  club  presi 
dent,  had  been 
considering 
f or 
his  club,  the  club 
proved  that  per 
sonal  solicitations 
are  far  more  ef 
a 
fective 
direct  mailing.

raising  methods  and  suggested  that  his 
club  be  the  pilot  group.

Simply,  the  plan  was  to  personally 
contact  all  alumni  in  the  Cincinnati  area, 
informing  them  of  the  purposes  of  the 
annual  M.S.C. Roll  Call.  Contact  "teams" 
were  organized  within  the  club  and  every 
alumnus 
in  the  Cincinnati  club 
area  was  contacted.  In  the  picture  above, 
Mrs.  Virginia  Bollinger,  '33  (right),  calls 
upon  Mrs.  Floyd  Edie  and  Mr.  Floyd 

living 

Edie,  '35, to  tell  them  about  the  Roll  Call. 
This  personalized 
afforded 
every  alumnus  an  opportunity  to  receive 
first-hand 
information  about  the  annual 
Roll  Call  program.

As  a  result  of  this  program,  70  per 
cent  of  the  1953  donors  were  new  donors 
and  had  not  contributed 
the  previous 
year.  We  heartily  congratulate  the  Cin 
cinnati  club  for  a  big  job  well  done. 

In  November,  the  recently  organized 
M.S.C.  alumni  club  of  Okinawa  played 
host  to  members  of  the  M.S.C.  Mission 
to  the  University  of  the  Ryukyus  at  a 
dinner  meeting.  The  club,  organized  and 
directed  by  Dr.  Allan  Tucker  who  is  on
