to  be  considered 

T he  student  w h o,  early  in  his  col-
leg  career,  fails  to  learn  to  use  the 
library,  neglects  one  of  the  principal 
sources  of  culture  and 
instruction. 
It  is  a  deplorable  fact  that  a  large 
number  of  students  spend  several 
years  in  college  without  becoming 
the  library.  T he

reach  of 
every  student,  is  a  library  of  more 
than  21,000  books;  books  contain 
ing  the  best  thought  of  every  age— 
books  filled  with  the  records  of  man's 
triumphs  in  art,  literature,  science 
and 
things 
and  heroic  things  that  have  been 
done  in  the  world  are  written  out 
for  us  in  these  books.  Vast  stores 
of  knowledge,  representing  the  life-
labors  of  earth's  noblest  sons, 
lie 
within  our  reach  upon  these  shelves.

For  various  reasons  T HE  M. A. C. R E C O RD is 
occasionally  sent  to  those  who have  not  sub

The only way,  however, to secure  T HE  R E C O RD

By  a  recent  action  of  the  Board

too. 
Wnether  in  the  shape  of  praise or 
blame,  we  are  glad  to  have  it  and 
shall  try to  learn  from  it.  We do 
-not  promise  always 
to  alter  our 
course  in  response  to  criticism, but 
we  shall  try  to  weigh  objections 
fairly  and  impartially.  F or  instance, 
some  days  ago  a  complaint  came 
that  we  had  allowed  " t he  a d" of 
the  W o m e n 's  course  and  of  the 
business of  L-insing  citizens to crowd 
out  local  news,  especially  about  foot 
ball.  N ow we  reasoned  about  that 
this  fashion:  T he 
complaint  after 
State  has  just  spent  over  $100,000 
installing  a  new  course  at  this 
in 
College. 
In  a  few  weeks  over  a 
thousand  women  are  to  be  present 
to  witness  the dedicatory  ceremonies. 
T h e re  are here  now  a  large  number 
0*  young  women  whose 
fathers 
and  mothers  want  to  know  what  is 
arranged  for  their  daughters.  T he 
grangers  and farmers'  clubs  all  over 
the  State  are  anxious  to know  just 
what  has  been  accomplished  with 
the  large  appropriation  they  worked 
so  hard  to  obtain.  Nothing 
that 
has  ever  been  accomplished  at the 
College,  except  perhaps  its  original 
founding,  has  awakened  such  gen 
eral  interest  as  the  completion  of 
this  women's  building.  All that we 
can  tell  the  people  about  this new 
building  and  its  purposes,  about 
what  has  been  bought  with 
their 
money  is what  they  want  to  know— 
is  news,  and  must  be  printed  first. 
Other  matters  can  lie  over  for  a 
week.  Nothing 
that  redounds  to 
the  credit  of  M. A. C — no  achieve 
ment  in  science,  no  victory  in  ath 
letics—shall  knowingly  be  neglected 
in  the  columns  of  the  R E C O R D,  but 
we  must  be  permitted 
to  use  our 
best  judgment  in  emergencies.  We 
have  reason  to believe  that  the t wo 
papers  on the  W o m e n 's  Department 

Isn't  it about  time  that  the  socalled 
"  annual  class  s c r a p"  were  outlawed 
and  some  more  civilized 
form  of 
class  rivalary  introduced  in its  stead? 
Each  year  it  has  increased  in  reck 
lessness  and  barbarity;  each  year the 
weight  of  the  opposing  forces  has 
enlarged  while  the  obligation  on  the 
part  of  all  to  participate  has  been 
drawn  closer;  each  year  it has  thrust 
itself  more  and  more  into  the  open 
and  claimed  a larger  degree  of recog 
nition  as  an  established 
institution. 
N o w,  where  is  this  progression  to 
end?  Will 
it  curb  and  restrain 
itself?  W hy  should  students  and 
faculty  wait  for  some  fatal  catas 
trophe—an  accident,  of  course,  but 
art  accident  easy  to  foresee—before 
taking  measures  to  return  things  to 
their  proper  proportions?  W hy 
must  our release  from  the  increasing 
tyranny  of the class  scrap  be  bought 
with  innocent  blood?

is  to  bring  the  repression  not  from 
without  but  from  within—to  foster 
within  the student  body  the  growth 
of 
larger  conceptions  of  manhood 
and  the  cultivation  of greater  dignity 
and  self-restraint.  W h en  a  child

T h e re  is still  another  side  to  this 
matter  that  we cannot  afford  to  for 
get  or  ignore. 
It  has  become  a 
common  feature  of the  occasion  for 
the  young  women  to  fill  the  side 
lines  and  by their  presence,  if not  by 
voice  and  gesture,  to lend  piquancy 
and  zest  to  the  fray.  Leaving  out 
of  consideration  the effect  upon  the 
young  men, we  cannot  fail  to de

such 
familiarity  with  brutality  will  inevit

women.  W h en  a  young  woman 
finds  such  performances  "perfectly

a  deadening  of  feminine  sensibility 
and  a  coarsening  of  fiber  that  no 
amount  of  training  in  the external 
conventions  and  elegancies  of 
life 
can  ever  atone  for.  T he  ideal  of 
womanhood  in the  civilized  world is, 
not the R o m an  maid applauding  some 
gladiator's  success, nor  the mediaeval 
queen  of  love  and  beauty  crowning 
her  victorious  knight,  as  he  stands 
with  his  foot  upon  his  fallen  foe,

pity  and  tenderness  to  victor  and 
Florence

Nightingales  and  Clara  Bartons, 
who  have  shed  a  new  glory  upon 
our  common  humanity  through  the 
wealth  of  their  divine  pity  for suf

riding  wheels 
Lansing  and  the  College  and the 
early  approach  of  darkness  at  this 
time  of  the  year  call  for  a  greater 
degree  of  care  in  riding,  a  lower 
rate  of  speed,  and  an  absolute ob 
servance  of  the  rule  of  the  road. 
Within  three  successive  days,  three 
accidents, two of them somewhat seri 
ous,  have  occurred  here  and  in every 
case  one man was  unmistakably  on 
the  wrong  side  of  the  road  when 
first  seen.  An especially  dangerous 
place  on the grounds  is the walk on 
the  edge  of  the river  from  the crest 
of  the  hill  to  the  west  entrance. 
Here, 
after  drill, 
students  and  others  come  rushing 
down  in  droves  and  at  full  speed. 
In  the  dim  light  and  against  the 
dark  masses  of  foliage  it is impossi 
ble  to  see a  wheelman  until  he is 
quite  upon  one,  and it  would  seem 
wise  to  require  persons  going  west 
to  leave  the  path  and  take  the road 
down  the hill. 

i m m e d i a t e ly 

A  well-recognized  rule  both  of 
politeness  and  of the  College  author 
ities,  makes  it imperative  for a  rider 
on  the College  walks  to  give  the 
•whole  walk  in passing  a  pedestrian. 
T he  walks  are too  narrow  for  any 
one  to feel  comfortable  in  having  a 
wheelman  fly  past  him  on the  walk. 
Dr.  Kerlzie,  on  Friday  last,  was  run 
into  and  considerably  bruised  by a 
wheelman  w ho  seemed  to have ex 
pected  the  Doctor  to  give  up the 
walk.  These  walks  were  built  for 
pedestrians,  not  wheelmen,  and  to 
allow  wheels  upon  them  at  all  is a 
concession  which  wheelmen  should, 
for 
their  own  sakes, be careful  not 
to  abuse.  F or  the  safety  of  the 
smaii  children  along  Faculty  R o w, 
a  regulation  has  been  made  exclud 
ing  wheels  from  the walks  in  front 
of  this  line  of  dwelling-houses.

M.  A.  C.  w o n - h er  first  football 
game  of  the  season 
last  Saturday 
against  the  team  from  Adrian.  O ur 
team  was  much  heavier  than  Adrian. 
Adrian  had  very  hard  luck,  one  of 
her  players  being  badly  hurt  and 
two  others  slightly  so.  Some  of the 
time 
full 
they  played  without  a 
back. 

T he  game  started  with  M. A. C. 
defending  the  north  goal  and  Adrian 
the  south.  Adrian  kicked  off  to 
M.  A.  C.'s  10-yard 
line.  Crosby 
advanced  ball  10  yards.  After  a 
series  of  plays  in  which  ten and 
twelve  yards  were  made  each  time. 
A.  H.  Case  made  a 
touchdown. 
M c C ue kicked  goal.  Score, M. A. C, 
6;  Adrian, o. 

Adrian  kicked  to  M.  A.  C. 20-
yard  line.  E d g ar  advanced  ball 20 
yards.  Buckeridge  punted  over  50 
yards  to  Adrian's  5-yard  line.  M. 
A.  C. soon  got  ball  on  downs and 
A.  H.  Case  made  touchdown.  Mc 
Cue  failed  on an easy  goal. 
M.  A. C,  1 1;  Adrian, o. 

Score, 

Adrian  kicked  to M. A. C.'s  10-
yard  line.  Blanchard  advanced  ball 
17  yards.  M c l n t y re 
then  made  a 
75  yard  run around  the end  for  a 
touchdown;  M c C ue  kicked  goal. 
Score  M.  A.  C.  17,  Adrian  o. 
Adrian  kicked  ball to M. A. C.'s 35-
yard  line,  M c C ue  caught  it  but  was 
downed 
immediately.  M.  A.  C. 
now  became  careless  and  Adrian got 
ball  on a  fumble  on  M. A. C. 55-
yard  line.  Before  it  was  advanced 
10  yards  M. A. C. got  it on downs. 
McCue  carried  it over  for a  touch 
down  and  kicked  goal.  Score  M. 
A.  C. 23, Adrian  o.  Adrian  kicked 
to  M. A. C.'s 10-yard  line.  M c l n 
tyre  advanced  ball  25 yards.  After 
a  series  of  plavs,  M c l n t y re  again 
got  the ball  and  ran 65 yards  for a 
touchdown.  McCue  kicked  goal. 
Score  M.  A.  C.  29,  Adrian  o. 
Adrian  kicked  to  M. A.  C.'s 20-
line,  Crosby  advanced  it  10 
\ ard 
steadily 
yards.  T he  ball  was 
worked 
towards  Adrian's  goal and 
finally  Ricamore  broke  through  the 
line  and ran  25 yards  for  a touch 
down.  McCue  kicked  goal.  Score 
M.  A. C  35,  Adrian  o. 

Adrian  kicked  to  M. A. C.'s  15-
yard 
line.  M c l n t y re  advanced  it 
time  was  called 
35  yards.  W h en 
the  ball  was  on  Adrian's  55-yard 
yard  line.  Score,  first  half,  M. A. 
C,  355  Adrian, o. 

T he  second  half  was  similar  to the 
from 
first.  Our  boys  got  careless 
over  confidence  and fumbled  the  ball 
repeatedly,  but  at no time  did  Adrian 
come  near  our  goal. 
M c l n t y r e, 
Case,  Buckridge  and  Blanchard 
were  the  best  ground  gainers  for 
M.  A.  C,  while  Adrian  did not 
have  the ball  long  enough  to  show 
what  they  could  do.  T wo  touch 
downs  were  made  in the  last  half  by 
Phillips  and Mclntyre.  T he  game 
was  stopped  at  15  minutes  to 4 to 
allow  Adrian  to catch  a  train. 

We  may say in  general  that the 
foot  ball  interests  are  much  brighter, 
and  the  boys  are playing  fast,  con 
sistent  team  work.  T he  fact 
that 
Adrian's  team  is weak  this  year was 
not  alone  responsible  for the large 
score,  for  the  boys  put  up  a  most 
excellent  exhibition  of  strong  inter 
ference,  both  in  the  end  runs  and 
bucks. 

Special  mention  should  be  made 
of  Mclntyre's  two  touchdowns  from 
long  runs  of 75 yards  and 65  yards, 
in  which  the  interference  was  per 
fect,  Blanchard  especially 
running 
with  him  the  entire  distance, and 
interfering  for  him  all  the  way  to

Athletic  N o t e s. 

Albion  is  greatly  stirred  up  over 
the  unfortunate  fact  that  our  foot 
ball  boys  were  relieved  of  nearly 
their  clothes 
twenty  dollars  while 
were  in  the  dressing  room  during 
the  game  at  Albion  on  the  6th.  A 
letter  was  received  last  week 
from 
athletic  director  Brewer,  expressing 
his  deep  regret  over  the  occurrence, 
and  saying  it  was the  work  of  boys 
from  the town  who came  in  through 
the  back  windows.  He  gave  orders 
to  the  janitor  to  lock  the  door,  but 
that  the  latter  did  not, is  shown  by 
the  fact  that  when  one of  our  boys 
returned  about  twenty  minutes  after 
the  players  had left  for  the  field,  he 
it  u n l o c k e d ;-a nd  also  after 
found 
the  game,  the  first  one  back  found 
it  unlocked.

Brewer  writes  in  part,  "I  wish  you 
would  see each  of  the  boys  and  find 
what  they  lost,  and  we  will  make 
every  reparation  possible  or  reason 
able. 
to  call  a  mass 
meeting  and  put  the  matter  before 
the  students."  Such  an  attitude  is 
frank  and  manly,  and  no  doubt  by 
next  week  we  shall  be  able  to  state 
the  satisfactory  conclusion  of 
the 
matter.

for 
graduates  to  fill  positions  as  drafts 
men,  etc.,  but  it  is  unable  to  meet 
these  demands  on  account  of  the  fact
