The  New  M. A. C  Teachers. 

T h e re  are  several  changes  in the 
teaching 
force  of  M.  A.  C.  this 
year  as was  the case at the  beginning 
of  the  last  school  year,  and for the 
purpose  of 
introducing  the  new 
teachers  to  students  and  friends  of 
M.  A. C.  the  sketches  that  follow, 
it  is believed,  will  be  helpful. 

Some  of  the  changes  that  have 
been  made  are  due  to  resignations 
while  other  changes  are  actual  ad 
ditions  to the teaching  staff. 

MISS  MAUDE  GILCHRIST,  B.  S., 

who  succeeds  Miss  Keller  as  Dean 
of  the  W o m e n 's  Department  is  a 
graduate  of  the Iowa  State  N o r m al 
School,  1880, and  a  graduate  stu 
dent  of  Wellesley  College, 
three 
years,  and of  Gottingen  University, 
Germany,  one  year,  her  particular 
lines  of  study  being  Botany,  Mathe 
matics,  Literature  and  History. 

Miss  Gilchrist  has done  successful 
teaching  in her  Alma  Mater,  Welles-
ley  College,  ten  years  as  Instructor 
in  Botany,  and the Illinois  Women's 
College, four  years  in which  Institu 
tion  she  was  lady  principal  and  from 
which  she  resigned  to  spend  the 
past  year  at her home,  Lawrens, l a. 
In  her  graduate  work  Miss  Gil 
christ  has won distinction  in  Botany 
having  had, at  different 
times,  in 
struction  under  such  men as  Bessey, 
Hallowell,  Goodale,Setchell,  Peters, 
and  Berthold.

An  Enthusiastic  Endorsement  of 
Our  Mechanical  Course. 

[ T he 

from  a 

following 

letter 
written  by  one  of  our  graduates, 
now  instructor  in steam  engineering 
and  mathematics  in  the  North  Da 
kota  Agricultural  College,  contains 
so  much  that  the  new student may 
ponder  with  profit,  that  we  give  it 
space  in our columns  at the  opening 
of  the College  year.} 

than 

training 

T he  Michigan  Agricultural  Col 
lage  is  a  good  place  for  a  young 
man  to  study  engineering,  because 
it  is a  place  where  he will  be  trained 
to  work  hard,  and  study  hard;  be 
the  instructors  are  capable, 
cause 
enthusiastic,  sympathetic,  and  easily 
approached;  and  because  there  is a 
spirit  of  industry  and  studiousness 
that  pervades  the  whole  place  and 
impels  students  to do their  best. 
T he  educational  value  of 

the 
mechanical  course  may be  summed 
up  in  a  few  words. 
It  makes the 
most  of 
three  good  points;  the 
teaching  of  the  best  theory  in the 
best  manner,  the opportunity  for the 
most  practice  in the given  time, and 
the  development  of 
the  greatest 
amount  of  good  hard  common  sense 
that  the student  is capable  of in  four 
years.  Since  it is mental  and  phys 
ical 
subjects 
rather 
studied,  that  makes  up  the  larger 
part  of  an education,  it  follows  that 
the  mechanical  course  which  requires 
the  most  persistent  effort  both  in 
the  workshop  and  the  class  room, 
together  with  the closest of  observa-
* •_>r,
) must  make  educated  noe&. 
T he  engineer's  sphere  of  action 
is  not  local,  but  covers  the  whole 
world,  and the things  he is asked  to 
do  are all building  and  all  manufac 
turing,  both  present  and  to  come. 
It  is unwise  then  for a school  to  offer 
a  narrow,  specialized  course  to the 
undergraduate,  when  what  he  needs 
is  a training  in the basic principles of 
engineering  which  will  give  him a 
to  build  on.  T he 
firm  foundation 
M.  A.  C  is  fortunate  in  taking  a 
broad  view  of  the  matter,  and  that 
is  a  very 
I  have 
for  recommending  her  mechanical 
course.  H er engineers  have  entered 
nearly  every  branch  of  engineering 
and  have  been  uniformly  successful, 
thus  emphasizing  the  advantages of 
a  liberal  course. 

reason 

strong 

I  believe  j he  mechanical  course  at 
M.  A.  C.  is  a  good  thing,  and  I 
congratulate  both  the freshman  who 
enters  and the senior  who  graduates.

Republi

under  the  caption  " S o me  Charac

panied  with  a  handsome  portrait of 
the  Doctor.  We are  under  obliga 
tions  to friend  Niswander  for  kind 
ness  in  forwarding  a  copy  of  the 
paper.] 

R.  C. Kedzie,  professor  of  chem 
istry  in  the  Michigan  Agricultural 
College,  is  affectionately  venerated 

that

by  the  members  of  the  American 
Chemical  Society  as  one  of  the 
institution.  He 
founders  of 
had  charge  of  the  third  university 
chemical 
in 
this  country,  and  of  the  first  one  to 
be  opened  in an agricultural  college. 
Dr.  Kedzie  has  held  his  present 
position  with  the Michigan  College 
since  1S63.  He is a  venerable man, 
but  still  a  blazer  of  new paths  in his 
chosen  profession.  He  was  for 
some  time  president  of  the  Associa 
tion  of  Agricultural  chemists, and as 
the  M 'c mf fan  State 
president  of 
Board  of  Health  was  the first man to 
inaugurate  a  crusade,  which  has 
swept  all  over  the  country,  against 
the  arsenic  processes  used  in  the 
manufacture  of  wall  paper.  So 
active  was  he  in  this  work  that the 
discontinuance  of  this  method  and 
the  institution  of  a new  process  more 
agreeable  to  the  policy  of  public 
health  has  become  general  in  the 
manufacture  of  all  kinds  of  wall 
papers.  By his  efforts  he  succeeded 
in  raising  the  required  standard  for 
kerosene  oil  in his state,  an  innova 
tion 
that  has  contributed  much 
toward  the  public  safety. 

In  Denver  there  are  several men 
w ho  especially  revere  the  name  of 
Prof.  Kedzie.  Cass  E.  Herrington, 
and  his  brother  T o m, and  Lucius 
W.  Hoyt,  secretary  of  the  Colorado 
Bar  Association,  studied  under  him 
in  their  college  days. 

T he  beet  sugar  industry  in  this 
and  the Western  states  is  now re 
ceiving  particular  attention  from  D r. 
Kedzie,  w ho  discussed  it  in a  paper 
the  society 
read  yesterday  before 
for  the  Advancement  of  Agricul 
tural  science.

none  to  shun  or  ignore;  none  that 
needed  excuse  or  apology.  Here 
was  an  attorney  who  was  counsel 
for  a  great  industry  that  was  glad 
to  retain  his  services  at  a  salary  of 
$10,000  and  who  declined  to  be  the

I  visited  Colorado  Springs;  saw 
the  Garden  of  the  Gods,  but  did  not 
meet  any  of  the  deities  as  they  were 
away  on  a vacation;  drank  from  the 
Soda  Spring  of  Manitou,  and  went 
to  the  peak  of  Pikes  Peak,  only  to 
find  myself 
in  a  dismal  fog;  for  a 
cloud  covered  the  mount. 

I  went  from  Colorado  Springs  to 
Cripple  Creek  to  look  at  the  most 
wonderful  gold  fields  on  the  earth. 
T he  Cripple  Creek  is  about  6  or  7 
miles  from  Colorado  Springs  "  as

miles,  the  traveller  rising  3000  feet

It  surprised  me to  find  the  weather 
hotter  in  Denver  than  in  Michigan. 
T he  mountain  air  is  not  what  it  is

I'carried  warm  clothes  and  a  heavy 
overcoat,  and 
all 
safely  home  again;  I  also  carried 
and  brought  back  some  good  advice 
from  my  friends,  how  not  to  catch 
cold  and  how  to  avoid  accidents. 
This  advice  I  still  have  on  hand  and 
will  cheerfully  give

wanting  it.  On  the  whole  I  return

To  the  inquiry,  "  W h at  do  you 
especially  want  to  see  in  Chicago  ?" 
the  answer  was  "  the  Chicago  Steel 
W o r ks  during  the  strike."  Armed 
with  a  permit  from  headquarters  we 
took  the  car  for  South  Chicago,  but 
found  no  evidence  of  the  strike,  for 
in  full  operation, 
the  works  were 
and 
steps 
I  saw 
from  ore  to  steel  rails.  T he  thing 
that  struck  me  was  the  progressive 
toil  and  the 
elimination  of  human 
substitution  of  machinery 
this 
in 
great 
industry.  A  certain  amount 
of  work  was  done  by  common 
'  laborers—Poles  and  Hungarians— 
in  loading  a  prescribed  number  of 
barrow  loads  of  ore,  coke  and 
flux 
(limestone)  into  a  car  for  a  charge 
for  the  blast  furnace,  but  from  this 
point  the  hand  of  man  did  not  touch 
or  handle  directly  the  material  till  it 
came  out  from  the  rollers  as  finished 
the  roadway  for 
steel  rails  to  form 
the  world. 
the 
T he  machinery,  under 
the  guiding 
hand  of  the  skilled  workmen,  could 
do  everything  except 
and 
feeling 
!  T he  earthy-looking  ore 
was  changed  to  pig  iron  in  the  blast 
furnace,  this  was  carried  and  poured 
directly  into the  Bessemer  converters 
where  a  blast  of  air  was  forced  up 
through  the  liquid  iron,  burning  off 
the  excess  of  carbon  in  the  pig  iron 
and  converting  it  into  steel.  This 
was  then  poured  into  m  >ulds  to  cool 
and  form 
the 
rolling  mill.  These  billets,  heated 
red  hot,  are  then  passed  through  the 

the  steel  billets  for 

land  commerce  of 

thinking 

rolls  of  the  rolling  mill,  passing  and 
repassing,  till  drawn  out  into  long, 
glowing  bars  fit  for 
the  rail  mill, 
where  they  receive  their  final  form. 
These  rails  are  sawed  off  at  the  ends 
to  give  them  the  proper  length  and 
the  finished  prodtict  is ready  for  the 
world's  work.  But  in  all  this  round 
of  transformation  from  blast  furnace 
till  it  was  the  finished  rail, it  was  not 
directly  handled  by  human  force;  all 
was  done  apparently  by  automat 
ically  acting  machinery,  but  under 
the  guiding  hand  of 
expert 
workman.  Not  a  hand  was  lifted. 
No  tongs  in  the  hands  of  man  con 
trolled  the  result.  All  was  done  by 
machinery,  devised  and  directed  by 
the  human  brain.  Talk  of  Aladdin 
and  his  lamp!  Behold  a  greater  than 
Aladdin  was  there!  T he  chemist 
of  the  works  told  me  that  the 
time 
required  to  transform  ore  into  rails 
was  two  hours.

Although  often  stated  in  educa

knowledge  of  botany  has  advanced 
twenty 
more  in  the  past  fifteen 
years  than  in  all  former  years  com

of  botany  was  a  student  at  the  uni 
versity  Of  Michigan  and  at  Harvard, 
received  more 
no  undergraduate 
than  six  weeks  of  daily  work 
in 
botany,  and  many  universities  and 
colleges  had  no  botany  whatever  in 
their  courses  of  study.  At  Harvard 
there  was  an  opportunity  for  elect 
ing  four  weeks  more  than  the  re 
quired 
few 
elected  it.  T he  time  of  botanists  in 
those  days  was  chiefly  devoted 
to 
systematic  botany,  morphology,  and 
the 
of 
plants.  These  were  three  fields  of 
work  closely  related,  and  we  have 
them  still  with  ,additions,  and 
five 
others  at  least  have  been  added,  viz., 
plant  histology,  plant  physiology, 
ecology,  bacteriology,  and  the  study 
of  parasitic  and  saprophytic  fungi. 
Through  the  rapid  development 
of  agricultural  colleges  and  work  in 
the  U.  S.  Department  of  Agricul 
ture,  there  was  an  opportunity  for  a 
student  to  earn  a  living  by  way  of  a 
knowledge  of  plants.

T he  genial  Byron  D.  Halsted.

A m o ng  the visitors  to the  campus 
the 
during  excursion  week  were 
following  graduates  and former  stu 
dents:  C.  I.  Goodwin,  ' 7 7;  Carl

T he  older  colleges  and  universi 
ties  of  this  country  for  long  periods 
made  a  very  slow  growth.  Their 
development  in  equipment  and  size 
has  been  extraordinary. 

M.  A. C. was opened  for  students 
44  years  ago  this  month  and  it  is 
ofter  spoken  of  as  an  institution  of 
slow  growth.  Harvard  University 
was  founded  in  1636, 265  years ago, 
with  a  very  small  endowment;  and 
not  until  1S41, — 205  years  after 
opening  did the number  of  students 
reach  243  for  undergraduates,  and 
95  for  law students,  a  total  of  338. 
In  1861  there  were  all  told  in  all 
departments  only  a  few  over  800, 
while  in  1901, there  are 5275.  Even 
at  the  time  of  President  Quincy  in 
1830,  one  of  the  students  was  only 
twelve  years  old, and  the  average 
age  for  entering  was  about  rifteen 
years.

ALL  MEATS  . . .. 

May  look  alike  to  you,  but  there  is  a 
very  great  difference  in the quality  we han 
dle  and  that  sold  by some other  markets. 
We  handle  none  but  the  very  best.  Like 
the  pudding,  the proof  of good  meats  is  in 
the  eating.  A trial  will  convince  you  that 
you  ought  to trade  with us. 

We  make  daily  trips  to the College. 
BOTH  PHONES.  Careful  attention  given  to 

'phone orders.
