T he sod has been removed and clay put in its place, a change that will be enthusiastically welcomed by the plaj^ers. However, the players have been out every afternoon, batting, throwing and doing such other work as they could. In other departments of athletics there has been the greatest activity.

F or more than ten years a cadet band has been in existence at M. A. C., but it is worthy of note that up to last year musical talent was im the principal College ported for the College functions.

During the year the membership of the band has increased to 22, and the quality of performance has more than kept pace with the growth in numbers. Regular instruction is now given by Mr. H e n ry Chambers, of Lansing, a graduate of the Boston Conservatory of Music.

During my short stay in Boston, Mass., I was after an Agricultural College to attend, as it was the only reason I crossed the ocean. I wrote to several State Agricultural Col leges for their catalogues, and the same time, in Boston, I met several friends who happened to know Mr. Caramanian, a former student of the M. A. C. T h ey spoke to me about the college, I wrote for its catalogue, and found it the best school for me letter to attend. After a favorable from President Snyder I made my way to M. A. C. I have found M. A. C. not only a place for practical education, but a school for mental development, too, and I believe that every student, foreigner or native, attending M. A. C. will agree with me.

As the time for Field Day ap proaches and we see the athletes training and the interest and enthu siasm rising, it is quite natural that we should review the past, and win the numerous events over again that have brought glory to our athletes and respect to our College, in the few years since the Intercol an legiate Field Day has been annual occurrence. So successful have we been in the past that we have come to believe it necessary for us to win about double our share, and I feel quite sure that if in the coming contest we were to win only one-sixth of the number of points, we would come away with feelings akin to failure. T he first Intercollegiate Athletic Association Field Day was held at M. A. C. in J u ne 1888, Prior to that time it had been customary for each college to hold a local Field the Day to which one or more of other colleges were invited. T he number of events at the time the first field day was held was consider able greater than at present, there then being forty-one events, besides the baseball games; and all sorts of peculiar contests, such as the three- legged race, backward run, back ward kick, high hand spring, etc. were included. M. A. C. started in to win the "lion's share" from the very begin ning and at the first Field Day won fif teen out of the forty-one events and championship, with the baseball four colleges the contest. At in that time the association consisted of Albion, Olivet, Hillsdale and M. A. C., Ypsilanti and Kalamazoo not being admitted until later. to in addition T he second meet was held in Hillsdale in 1889 and here M. A. C. won eighteen out of the forty-seven events the baseball championship and all-around medal. At Albion in 1S90 M. A. C. lost the baseball pennant after haying held it for two years^ but won the all- around championship and eighteen of the events, considerably more than her share. twenty-two Olivet was the place selected for in 1S91 and M. A. C. Field Day won eighteen first, second prizes, the baseball cham pionship and relay race, out of forty- eight events. During the year 1892 Ypsilanti was admitted to the association and took part in the Field Day held at In M. A. C. in J u ne of that year. twenty- this contest M. A. C. won two of the thirty-two first medals, the relay race, the all-around cham pionship and the baseball cup. In 1893 the Field Day was held at that Jackson, and rain so interfered only eleven events, mostly indoor, were contested. Of these M. A. C. won four. the scene of Ypsilanti was the all-around the struggle in 1894, and the " farmer boys" carried off over one-half the medals and the all-around champion ship but lost the relay and baseball cups. At Hillsdale in '95 we won twenty-six events fourteen out of championship. and T he continued success up to this time seemed to foster a feeling of false security and apparently we be gan to think that we could win con tests without any effort. Conse quently we went in the spring of '96 ill prepared and came home sadder but wiser with only one gold medal to our credit. We had learned a immedi ately went to w o rk to remedy the defect, so that when it was time for field day in '97 we were ready and won again our accustomed number of events and the all-around cham pionship. To most of us the '98 field day in Lansing needs no re view. Our share was twelve of the first medals and the all-around. lesson and to Albion the baseball first occurrence of To sum it all up, in the ten years since the Intercollegiate Field Day, M. A. C. the has won over 40 per cent, of twice, first medals, the relay race the four championship times, and t he all-around champion ship eight times, notwithstanding the fact that there has always been four colleges and part of the time six association. Twice during that time our baseball team has won from the U. of M. colleges the in Our prospects this year seem more encouraging than ever. We are ex tremely fortunate in securing such a competent man as M r. Beutner as trainer, and great credit is due him for the interest and enthusiasm he is arousing. H ow to M a ke College Life Success ful. A G. BODOURIAN ' O I, OF NECOMEDIA, ISMID, T U R K E Y. Nothing is more important and more worthy of our candid and serious consideration, as college stu dents, than to know how to make our college life successful. W h at is a college life ? A n d, furthermore, what is meant by a successful col lege life? Is it the life of business, with all its bright and dark pas sages; is it the life of the church, dedicated to an ultimate Supreme Being, a life full of heavenly ex pirations and inspirations; is it the life of home, where sweet is every the heart of every con thing to scientious, faithful, honest man? N o, but college life, if anything at all, is the combination of these great active lives; a life where intellect delves into the unknown, to observe, to discover, to explain, and to create something higher, better and greater. W h en we say a successful college life we mean a life that is spent in telligently, the education most good from that offered by the college; a life means something to us and to the world, always high in its purposes and great in its ambition. in order to derive the T he principal object of the col lege life is to prepare young men and young women for higher and better positions. Such a life as this cannot be maintained without understand ing clearly and mastering the ele ments that are absolutely essential before and after enrollment in a col lege. Hence the first thing to be considered is thorough preparation. Every student, before entering col lege, should be thoroughly prepared. A student who is not prepared for the work that he is going to under take would never make a real suc cess. Such a young man is like a steam engine lacking a sufficient amount of coal; he starts on his way but stops before reaching his des should be tination. soil thoroughly prepared, to produce a good crop," says our ex pert agriculturist; and I say a young man or a young woman should be thoroughly prepared to make a success of college life. Such preparation should be in three dis tinct lines, namely: physical, mental and moral. in order in order " T he Physical preparation should be such as to maintain good health. A ny student who is in doubt of his away health should keep himself from the college doors. A healthy constitution is absolutely essential to a#successful college life. A student who is not a high school graduate, or who has not a sufficient amount of mental training would meet with great obstacles, that in some cases it would be almost impossible to over come. In such a case it would be necessary either to leave college, or make up the deficiency by hard labor. By moral preparation, I mean the cultivation of good habits, of a gentle disposition, and a strong char acter, all of which can be largely obtained by self-education. A ny student before entering col lege should not only be prepared, but, also, should have a definite pur pose and a fixed plan. Most of our college students fail in their college work simply because they have not a definite purpose. W h at I mean by a definite purpose is this: A stu dent should have clearly defined no tions about the line of work he is going to follow. A young man w ho starts a college life without a definite aim is like a ship that sails over the unknown waters without any destination. A definite purpose is the key-note of our success. A student should not only know what he is going to make of himself, but, also, should understand, to a certain extent, his tendencies, his moral and mental qualifications, and should be familiar with his own individual cir cumstances. to make a In order great success, a student should de vote his whole energy to one spe cific object. " T h is one thing I do," said the grand old man of Ger many—Bismark—-and he made the today. German empire what " T h is one thing I do," says an in telligent, far-sighted student, and he makes a success of it. it is T he enroll requirements after ment are as important as those be fore enrollment. T he first require ment is loyalty, obedience and re spect to the institution itself and to its teaching force. T he majority of college students are apt to forget the absolute necessity of this require ment. In my humble estimation, no college life is honorably and suc cessfully completed without realiz ing fully the importance of this re quirement. Obedience is the very beginning of a R E AL education. Rules and regulations, though they be contrary to our own wishes and tendencies, nevertheless are instru insuring the welfare of mental in A P R IL 25, 1899. T HE M. A. C. R E C O RD It does not matter the college. they are just or not, whether whether they please us or n o t; as long as they are adopted by the col lege they must be observed without murmur. As a matter of fact, it is almost impossible to derive much good from any college, unless there exists a warm love and affection for t he institution. A student, unless he realizes that everything done by the college is done for his own good, will never get as much bene fit as he would otherwise. However, any student in order to derive much benefit from the teach ing of the college should not only have a great affection for the insti should be tution itself, but also obedient and respectful to its in It is a self-evident truth structors. that no teaching whatever does any good, unless there exists a W A RM relation between the teacher and student. No matter who is the teacher, the most prominent or the most insignificant man in the profes sion, an angel or a devil in his dis position, he should be honored and respected in order to derive any benefit from the class room. Posi tion, at least, should be honored, if not the man. It is a great mistake and a great sin to abuse the honor and authority of the teaching force. As long as they are recognized by t he college authority to be essential to the college welfare, they should be honored T he second requirement is that of a persevering spirit. This is t he key note of our constant success. It means the power of overcoming difficulties, and carrying on our work without any discouragement. A student may meet difficulties and may to pass t h r o u gh his work he must possess t he spirit of perseverance in a high degree. fail, but in order Self-reliance is another important factor of a successful college life. It means faith in ourselves and faith in our own work. A ny student that has not a sufficient amount of confidence in himself will not make a great success. It is a great source of individual power, which makes the student to become more energetic in his work. A student that enters into a col lege should, at the very start, culti vate the habit of economy, and the practice of keeping an account book. T h is not only enables him to know the exact amount of his expenditures, at any time, but also enables him to make a reduction in his expenses in t he case of shortage. T he neces sities should be supplied, but the luxuries should always be avoided. Good associations throughout col lege life are absolutely necessary. A student must know with whom he is associating. This does not that a college is a nest of mean evils. Speak with everybody, treat all as friends if possible, but do not make a companion of everybody. T he value of a good friendship can not be over-estimated. T he in fluence exerted by an associate is great in one way or other. It deals directly with the formation of the character. H ow many a young man w ho was destined to be, per haps, a Byron, a H u g o, or a Lamar- tine, failed, and became altogether demoralized on account of his bad choice of associates. H ow many a young man might have brought honor and glory to himself and to his nation instead of becoming a dis grace to t he institution. And finally honesty is the best and most necessary requirement of It is the a successful college life. spirit of sincerity; showing ourselves as we are, doing things without hypocrisy as we think they ought to be done. It means speaking the truth no matter what it may cost. Honesty means faithfulness, and more than anything else, it means leaving alone things that do not belong to ourselves, whether a hat or a $1,000 check. No student will make a real success in the college or outside the college unless he is honest in the highest sense of the word. At the College. Miss Marguerite Nolan spent Sunday in Jackson.

T he original bill provided for an appropriation of $146,000, but the senate committee cut out $10,000 contingent building fund, $6,000 for a book-stack and $2,000 from the repair fund, and added $8,000 to the appropriation for a women's building, so as to make the basement and first story of stone. T he bill is now in the hands of the house committee. Our Second N i ne Wins. T he game of baseball Saturday afternoon between our second nine and Eaton Rapids high school was especially interesting because of the that were tried on our new men team, several of whom are working for places on the first nine. Stroebel and Wolf were tried in the box and both did well. W i th good support they would have sent the visitors home without a score. Both were steady and will in time make good pitchers. T h r o w i ng was our weak point in the field; at least four of the visitors' runs being due to wild thing that needs throws. Another is base-running — sliding attention to bases head first, not feet first. A sprained ankle was the direct result inex of the antiquated, useless and cusable method of going for a base feet first. Schwartz caught a good game, made three nice base hits and generally bases, threw well although two runs may be credited to his throws. T he batting partly of our boys was a feature of the game. Decker and Stroebel made three-base hits, Grove and Murphy the two-base hits. Following score: to is Innings. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 89 M. A.
