We have considered it, too, as a necessary qualification that a man should be an experi enced instructor. M r. Jeffery has had abundant experience along this line, and his work as an instructor has been very highly spoken of. He has held several responsible positions, such as Assistant P r o fessor of Agriculture in the North Dakota Agricultural College for one year. He resigned at North Dakota t> accept the position of Assistant 1 rofessor of Soil Physics in t he I niversity of Wisconsin, which po sition he has held for two years, and re had been elected for the third year when appointed to his present p a c e. Wfe are confident that Pro fessor Jeffery is thoroughly compe te it, and we are sure he is coming t a State that will appreciate his v ork and ability. U L Y S S ES P.

Most of his early life, how ever, was* spent in Ne.w Y o r k, where his father was engaged in the ministry. After completing his preparatory education at the W e s- leyan Seminary, Lima, N. Y ., he taught a year in district schools, then entered the University of Michigan, from which he graduated in the classical course with the class of 'S6. T he next seven years were spent in t e a c h i n g— Sciences and Classics for two years at Geneva, N. Y ., anil Physics and Chemistry for five years in the Jefferson high school, Chicago. T h en followed a year of study and travel in Europe, and an other year at the Jefferson school. His next engagement was at L a ke Forest University, where for. t wo years he was in charge of the De partment of Physics, during the a b sence of Professor Stevens, in Europe. T he last t wo years have been spent in graduate study at the University of Michigan. Prof. Atkins has a very pleasant personality and is strongly endorsed as a successful teacher. He not only is competent in his chosen spec ialty, but is, as one of his friends says of him, " an all-around man—a taxidermist, and apt in many lines."

After the ordinary routine of high school and prepara tory training he entered the Spring field, Mass., school for the training of gymnasium and athletic directors. He did excellent work in this school high and was graduated with in tern Pennsylvania. While in charge this college M r. of athletics Bemies took work in the classical department and graduated at t he . close of his four year period of ser vice with the A. B. degree. He then took charge of the large Y. M. C. A. gymnasium at McKeesport, near Pittsburg. H is work here - i ' t e i ng largely confined to the even t i ng hours, he had much time left for study. He improved this by entering the regular classes in the Western Theological Seminary, Allegheny, Pa., and upon the completion of the three year course was graduated and ordained as a minister in the Presby terian church. H is work in the pulpit is of no inferior order. He is a strong, graceful speaker and thor oughly in earnest. Mr. Bemies is an all-around ath lete and an enthusiastic football man, having played centre on the famous Duquesne association team. While M r. Bemies comes to the College primarily as Prof, of Physi cal Culture, he will be active also in all lines of Christian work and will be in a position to exert a very wide and strong influence for good.

On the first of January, 1S98, he resigned this last position to accept the professorship of horticulture and botany in the Utah Agricultural College, which position he held un til recalled to his A l ma Mater to take charge of classes in horticul ture. Professor Hedrick's success in his chosen profession has been marked and his advancement rapid. He has demonstrated his ability as an instructor and we bespeak for him future success. M R. J. J.

Returning home after graduation, he assumed the management of his father's daify and stock farm, where he now has 100 cows producing butter for a fancy trade and. is also quite an extensive breeder of Ox- forddown sheep and Berkshire swine. For seven years Mr. Fergu son has acted as judge at local stock shows and has had also considerable experience ' as an institute worker and as a lecturer-in dairy schools, all of which contributes to make him a valuable man to the College.

In my late trip to the Pacific coast I met a score of M. A^ C. boys who hold high positions in life, are honored and respected by all, but they were earnest students and led a manly life in College. Somehow , the idlers and kickers in the body of students—those who come to Col lege "for a lark" and not to "soar like the lark" — naturally d r op off, like the dead leaves from the living tree, and are heard of no more. 3. JStudents sometimes assume that they may properly do things in a crowd that they would blush to do individually. A mob on the cam pus or in the street-car will act in a they would not approve if way done individually. A mob has no conscience, and this is the central fact in lynchings. L et not the Col lege reputation suffer by counte nancing the irresponsible mob spirit. 4. Do not feel that the students are one body and the faculty another body, pitted against each other for internecine strife. We are one for mutual helpfulness.

C K E D Z I E. ^'Suffer a word of exhortation" from one w ho long years ago was "a new student"—as raw and green a boy as-ever escaped from a l og school house in the back- woods to ,' enter into the whirl and excitement of college life. T he remembrance of trying days leads me to offer a few words of advice to the new student. those i. You will be homesick: so many new .and strange faces and so few friendly points of contact with your fellows, you will long for the old home and the places where every body knew you, where very literally you felt at hotne. Do not give up, but pluck up courage for the occa sion. Multitudes have had it but no man dies of it." .2. You will feel alone—alone in a that ho crowd! Y ou may think one cares for y o u; in this crowd of students, o l d. and new, and these stern^faced teachers, " w ho cares for me, or will note what I say or do? W ho cares for my soul?" Do not m a ke so great a mistake. Even n ow many eyes are upon you and take account of h ow you' spend your hours; whether you are earnest in your studies and College duties, Meeting- of t he State Board. T he board met Tuesday evening, August 29, in Kalamazoo, and on the following day inspected the sub station at South Haven, which was found to be in excellent condition under the management of S. If.

T he purchase of 300 feet of new hose for the fire depart ment was authorized. t T he only action taken regarding the new building for young women was to decide that- it be built of red brick.

W i th the apparatus from his laboratory he made the subjects interesting, and those who had work with him were well pleased. Professor Wheeler took his classes into his class room, put them at work with microscopes and gave them a great surprise as to the amount of information one can get from the study of plants. Corrf- missioner Hanlon taught the arith metic and civil government. T he work along lines^_ was very well done and received many com mendations from the teachers. these C. L. Berhis,taught geometry, al gebra, general history, U. S. history, grammar, reading, and gave each morning a lecture on ".Methods." This work was all well received by the teachers. During the institute several of the professors of the College lectured on various subjects to different classes, the number Prof. F r a nk among Kedzie and Prof. R. H. Pettitt. T he first Tuesday evening after the institute began the teachers gave a party to which all the professors with their families and the young men and ladies of trTe College w ho were on the grounds were invited. T h ey all had a fine time. T he boys of the College were so well pleased that they gave a party to the teach ers Thursday evening of the next week. It was the unanimous feeling of the teachers that the Agricultural is the best place in the College state for an institute. Former Students W ho Visited Us D u r i ng Vacation. C. H.
