Lads that were al beneath a tutor's notice had later bounfl^d through the course and now filled chairs not heard of in rny college days.

Professor Cook had five room hours per day with rhetorical^ 4flu I the freshmen essays thrown in as a sotSW ballast to keep him steady. Things have changed, no less in the flrifeJ. ception of the duties of a college to a p t* fessor than a professor to his professiotpand while I looked through the experimental grounds of the farm and garden 1 these shcjrt names are used to save space and KtjQ; I^gfj back the old days ), the ornamental ings, and last, but not least the B"t'agjC£} garden with a big B., it came to me thaLtlie!

We all thought our College the best in the land with a Faculty second to none,* and we worked hand in hand to gether, with a will, to make the Institution of our choice better and better in reputation and worth throughout the State and Nation. I do not know so much of the student life in these later days, but trust its fullness is greater as its resources are immeasurably increased. Think of those years in the sixties when the war sounds were still in our ears and wounds of battle were upon our classmates- The bell was rung by Barker, whose right arm hung helpless by his side, and Gunn brought the daily mail of the whole College from Lansing in a bag upon his armless shoulder, as his share in the industrials of the afternoon. So many of us taught school in the winter that at commencement in bleak November there were scarcely stu dents enough in chapel to start a cheer for the "spouting seniors." But I have run off the track with ray thoughts of earlier days. Dr. Beal wished my impressions of the College of today. It seems to me that the growth is stamped upon everything. The getting up from "town " is quite an improvement and when I left the trolley at its terminus it was at the very spot where large piles of stove wood had been worked into smaller-sized blocks by an ax in my own hands, while dreams of far-off graduation day and a degree hung as a menacing doubt in the dark chambers beneath a cap I had brought with me from an eastern farm home. In 1874. after serv ing two years as a tutor to the freshmen, I knew all the buildings by name and the professors by sight; now, how changed! I * To this d ay it seems to me t h at D r.

Her early years were spent tied fast to stumps and trees, Then came the tossing billows in the Legis lative breeze; But now with sails spread wide on Learn ing's placid seas She bears her load of pupils in security and ease. A noble trainingship for life's uncertain voyage upon an ocean of endless truth. BYRON D. HALSTED, '71. Y. M. C. A.
