All  friends  of 

feel 
very  much  elated  over 
kind 
treatment  it  received  at  the'hands  of 
legislature  which  has  just  ad 
the 
journed.  Our  appropriation 
bill, 
which  passed  both  houses  and  is  now 
in  the  hands  of  the  governor  for  his 
approval,  grants  to  the  College  one-
tenth  of  a  mill  tax  on  all  the  taxable 
property  of  the  State,  provided  that 
not  more  than  one  hundred  thous 
and  dollars  shall  be  paid  to  the  Col 
lege  from  this  fund  during  any  one 
year.  As  the  one-tenth  of  a  mill 
tax  will  amount,  on  the  present  val 
than 
uation,  to  considerably  more 
the  limit  of  one  hundred  thousand 
dollars, it  is  safe  to  say  that  the  Col 
lege  will  receive  this  amount  annu 
it  become  a 
ally  until 
this  act,  if 
law,  is  repealed.  T he  College 
is 
required  to  maintain  from  this  fund, 
the  farmers' 
institutes,  experiment 
station,  printing  of  bulletins,  repairs 
to  buildings,  and  student  labor. 
In 
the  past  these  have  been  provided 
for  every  two  years  by  special  acts 
of 
interest 
from  the  land  grant  fund  and  the 
income  from  the  second  Morrill  act 
will  take  care  of  the  necessary  run

above,  and  will  leave  from  fiftv

and  deadly  strife  continued,  until 
that  was  a fortunate  household  which 
did  not  bear 
its  sombre  markings. 
Great  sacrifices  were  made  in  those 
days.  Fathers  went  to the  front  leav

their  daily  toil  for  sustenance  and 
sons  were  called  by  a  greater  duty 
to  leave  aged  and  enfeebled  parents

for  life  was  in  the  land.  A  nation's

in  date  of  commencement  made  at 
that  time  enabled  the  administration 
of  that  day to  include  in  the  same 
catalogue  two  freshmen  classes  at 
their  full  entrance  strength;  a  thing 
not  possible  at  any  other 
time 
although 
in  the  two  subsequen

Leaving  this  irregularity  out of  con 
sideration,  we  find  that  in the  agri 
cultural  course  there  has  been  frocr 
'93  to '01 an increase  of 43 per cent 
In  the mechanical  course  there  i-
a  still  more  perplexing  vacillation 
in  the numbers,  and this  I  think car 
partly  be explained  by the -abnorm 
ally  large  number  of special  students, 
running  highest  in  '95, when  the 
number  of  regular  mechanical  stu 
dents  is  smallest.  To the  initialed 
it  is well  known  that  it is possible to 
classify  almost  any average  student 
at  any time  after  the freshman  year 
as  a  special,  without  in  any degree 
straining 
to 
presume  at 
least  no  decrease  in 
number  of  mechanical  students  be 
this 
tween  '91  and  '97, and  with 
granted  the  increase  from  '91 to  '01 
in  the  mechanical  course  is  indeed 
phenomenal,  amounting  to 112  per 
cent.  W h en  it  is  considered 
that 
the  equipment  has  remained  sub

fair 

T he  data  for  the women's  course 
begin 
really  with  its  organization 
in  '96, the  women  previously  enu 
merated  having  attended  for  acci 
dental  reasons,  and having  followed 
theagricultural  course  with  no  pro 
vision  for their  own  especial  needs. 
T he  growth  from  this  date,  191  per 
cent.,  is not so  significant,  since  the 
course  is an absolutely  new one; yet 
the  fact  of  such  growth  is  exceed 
ingly  gratifying. 

In 

'93  a  " d a i ry  c o u r s e"  was 
started  (six week'  course)  continued 
in  '94, and  discontinued  in '95.  In 
'96  a full  quota  of  short  six weeks' 
courses  was  begun,  and here  too  the 
g r o w th  in attendance  has been  good, 
100  per  cent. 

T he  fluctuation  of  the " specials " 
has  no significance. 
It really  means 
rather  a difference  in the manner of

than  doubled. 
These  are gratifying  facts  for us  all.

Notice. 

for 

T he  new  card  record 

this 
department  has  arrived  and  is  in 
service.  All  students  who  have 
been  given  credit  for  work  done 
elsewhere,  and  all  students  whose 
work  has been  the subject  of  special 
reports  of  any  character,  are  re 
quested  to  call  at  the office  before 
the  close  of  the  present  term  and 
see  that  their  record  is correct.  A 
large  number  of  note  books  have 
accumulated  in the department.  All 
such  books  not  claimed  before  the 
close  of  this  term  will  be  destroyed. 

T he  College  in Memorial  Celebra 
tions. 

T he  College  played  a  significant 
part  in  more  than  one  Memorial 
In  Lansing,  the Chas. 
celebration. 
T.  Foster  Post  did  us  the honor  to 
ask  t wo  of  our  students  to  be the 
orators  of  the day in their  exercises, 
and  M r. George  Severance  and  M r. 
G.M.Bradford  were  selected.  These 
two  gentlemen  rose  to the  full  dig 
nity of the occasion, and their  address 
es,  chiming  in  thoroughly  with  the 
solemn  ceremonies  and tender  recol 
lections  that  dominated  the occasion, 
were  thoroughly  appreciated  by the 
large  audience,  and  we  felt  proud 
of 
them  as  representatives  of  our 
patriotism,  statesmanship,  and train 
ing. 

Mr.  Severance  spoke  on " T he 
Present  D u t y ."  After  paying  a 
noble  tribute  to the response  to  duty 
made  by the heroes  of  ' 6 1, he  called 
the  minds  of  the  younger  genera 
tion  to consider  the present  dangers 
to  the  nation  and  the  consequent 
duty  devolving  upon  the  coming 
generation.  These  dangers  are  the 
cigarette  habit  that  saps  the  vital 
powers  of  the  young, 
the  giant 
drink  habit,the  passion for gambling, 
and  the disregard  of  health,  physical 
and  moral,  lying  in  Sunday  desecra 
closed  by 
tion.  M r.  Severance 
showing  how great  is  the  heroism 
necessary  to  overcome 
these  evils, 
and  his address  was an  impassioned 
appeal  to  patriotism  to meet  the  is 
sue. 

Mr.  Bradford's  subject  was "A 
Nation's  Gratitude."  He  showed 
how  every  generation  had had its 
duties,  and  how  in  especial 
the 
"boys  of  ' 6 1" had squarely  met  and 
fulfilled  their  duty,  and so had made 
possible  all subsequent  development. 
As  showing  the  tremendous  nature 
of  the  coiiflltf,  M r. Bradford  drew 
a  vivid  and  moviug  picture  of the 
"Battle  Above  the  Clouds."  He 
then  turned  to  the duties  devolving 
on  the coming  generation  with  re 
gard  to  Cuba,  Luzon  and  China, 
this  generation  to ac 
and  pledged 
cept  and  fulfill  its  duties  with  the 
courage  and  in  the  spirit  of  the 
heroes  of the past. 

Hon.  E. P.  Allen,  member  of the 
Board  of  Agriculture,  was the chief 
speaker  in the celebration  at  Detroit 
. — a  celebration  which 
the  Free 
Press 
calls  the  most  successful  in 
many  years.  He was introduced  as 
one  of  five  brothets  who had  fought 
in  the great  war.  We  quote 
from 
the  Free  Press 
the  meagre  report 
following: 

"I  shall  s p e ak
