C GOT THEIR DIPLOMAS FRIDAY. M r. D. S. Bullock, representing the agricultural course, in treating the subject, " Specialization in A g r i culture," drew a contrast between the farm our grandfathers knew and the farm of today. He spoke in part as follows: T he commencement of 1902 is a thing of the past, and nearly all the members, of the various classes and the visiting friends have returned home. It is the common verdict that the commencement of 1902 was the equal of any commencement of former years. All the exercises passed off quietly and without a hitch or necessarily many things were crowded into the last week. though jar, Tuesday evening President Sny der gave a six o'clock dinner to the seniors, which was a very enjoyable occasion. All of the class brought articles, which they were supposedly most anxious to get rid of. T he articles were exchanged and uncov ered at dinner, and some laughable revelations resulted. T he class reunions were held Wednesday evening according to the annual custom. All the men's societies held separate reunions with the exception of the P hi Deltas, E c lectics and Hesperians, w ho held a joint reunion in the A i m o r y, arte, having had, earlier in the evening, informal gatherings in their own so ciety rooms. T he Hesperians held in Club E, and the their banquet Union Literary Society had an elab orate program in their own build ing. Class day was held at Grand L e d ge Thursday, and those privi leged to attend report an enjoyable time. Besides the members of '02, some invited friends were present. to President Snyder's reception the class, faculty and visitors T h u r s day evening was as informal as pos sible, but was none the less enjoy able. commencement T he exercises, the A r m o r y, began at Friday in 10:30, with the march played by the band, and lasted two hours. T he platform was decorated with palms and ferns and the national colors. the march W i th President Snyder and the State Board of Agriculture ascended the platform followed by the faculty and the members of '02. T he fol lowing program, with President Snyder presiding, was carried out: the playing of MARCH—Belle of Indiana, - LangUar M. A. C. BAND. INVOCATION, ADDRESS—Commercial Supremacy, REV. W. S.

All rendered and well the musical selections were received. well T he vocal selections of Miss Staley are worthy of special comment. S he has an excellent soprano voice which is well trained, and her manner is easy and unaffected. they are T he audience comfortably filled the A r m o ry and listened attentively to all of the four addresses. W a rd R. Shedd, representing the mechan ical course, spoke in part as follows: " Material wealth and business success are not all that is to be individual sought for in national or development; but the foundations for those higher attain ments of the human mind which are evident in art, literature and phil osophy. * * * England and Amer ica have each recently received their lesson in territorial aggrandizement. T he terrible cost of military con quest, in both South Africa and Oceanica, has impressed upon the world the lessons that were pointed out by the P-ace Conference at the 'lag- Nations are learning that war is not profitable, ana tliey are turning their attention from war to the promotion of enterprise and the development of the resources which have been placed by nature within their grasp. T he hero of the future is to be the captain of industries, not armies; and in the twentieth century, the world's the nations that make history will be the ones w ho reach farthest into other lands, not with their armies and navies, as territorial conquerors, but with their merchant marine, carrying their manufactures and education. figure commercial Fifty years ago England was the in the world's trade. central H er goods were standard, her work men the best, and her natural re sources and facilities unequaled. But she is losing her prestige as a commercial power. A nd why ? Because, feeling her self secure in her supremacy, she has neglected to improve on methods which have been outgrown, and re fused to profit by the lessons which younger and more progressive com petitors have learned." T he speaker then dwelt on condi tions of industry in America and the reasons therefor, showing the value of technical training and the ability to seize opportu of nity. the American Miss Marguerite Nolan, repre senting the women's course, said that in the strict sense of the term is not a competitor with woman man, but rather co-operates with him. T h e re are certain occupations, which by their nature, fall to the lot of w o m e n; of such may be architecture, domestic mentioned shop window decoration and many occupations akin to these. W o m an has proved that she has a vocation in the farm dairy, but lastly and most important of all, woman has her true place in the well-ordered home. In the valley of the St. Joseph river in the southwestern part of our state, lay an agricultural community, rich and prosperous. Happiness was a common possession of the people, and each day thanks were given for the sunshine and the rain, because they made life more enjoy able and added to the contentment of living. On a farm of one hun dred acres in that valley, a farmer with his three sons did the work of the place. T he mother and two daugh ters did the housework and tended the poultry. E i g ht or ten acres of wheat, corn and oats were raised annually. T he wheat not needed for the use of the family was drawn to the nearest market, nearly thirty miles away. T he oats and corn were used to fatten the three or four hogs and the old ox that had gone them lame. T he orchard furnished with fruit, cider, and vinegar. T he garden supplied the vegetables and family medicines. T he wool the from the dozen sheep was carded, spun and woven, and from the pro duct all the best clothes of the fam ily were made. Once a week the fathei anu moth-r drove Topsy and Nell to the village to supply t he family with groceries by exchange for the surplus butter and eggs, and to get the weekly mail. T h r ee months in the winter the boys attended school at the little red school house. Their highest ambition here was to learn the " r u le of three," and if pos sible conjugate the verb love.

I In the early days of our republic, country roads were well nigh im passable. Canals, railroads, govern ment or turnpike roads were un known. Country roads were super seded by the toll road and turnpike. Canals were built throughout the land. Government roads were estab lished. But the railroad came with its iron horse propelled by nature's force and the latent never tiring other roads have been pushed to the background. From one end of the country to the other the trains rush on, and the great West is made neighbors to N ew England, t he the middle producing country of states is brought to the very doors of the consuming porl"'2ti^", ^ t he Fr.sL, thf> coT.tiy is covered with a network of iron little town has its railroad or electric road, and so by this marvelous system the whole country is bound together in one common family. rails, every telephone, the Other factors have also been in strumental in this modern develop ment. T he tele graph, and our almost perfect mail system have been factors of no mean importance. Recently the great improvements in shipping facilities have assisted materially in bringing more closely the distant together parts of our country. In Agriculture, however, still other agencies have been at work hastening this growth. Sheer neces sity has been and is still influencing to a great extent the work of the farmer. T he homestead system of land settlement has so lowered prices in the East that profits have been small and so from a financial stand point the agriculturist has been com pelled to specialize. * * * Go with me now to the time when we of t he present day and generation pass the milestone of the next half century and let me glance once more at that little one- in the hundred-acre St. Joseph valley. farm down Beyond the trim kept lawn in t he brick house we find the mother and two daughters. T he father and boys have just come in from work. We sit down with them on this bright J u ne day and enjoy heart ily its the noonday meal, with numerous substantial food, fruit dainties, and its variety of of still fresh. These delicacies are a part of the the-daily living of the family. T he meal is over: Mary plays an air on the piano, and father and mother go to the library to read, while we go last year's growth its { out with the boys to look around. T he fruit is being packed and loaded directly into the refrigerator cars. Tonight it will go to Chicago to be sold by the business manager of the local fruit raisers' association. Many of the kinds of fruit are to us un known, but we learn that some were from introduced from Asia, others Australia, and South America, and still others, the Juneberry and p aw paw, have been brought in from the woods. By means of a gasoline en gine the spravers are so thoroughly applied that insect and fungous pests are held in perfect control. A pumping plant and reservoir afford a supply of water for systematic tree and brush irrigation. T he fruits in the orchard are planted closely together, and fertilizers are applied weekly. T he intensity of all the methods of cultivation seem almost marvelous. Our eyes feast upon the splendor of the surround ings and the thoroughness with which every detail is managed. We behold with mute astonishment the perfection to which this great indus try has been brought. We realize that by the application of scientific principles along with earnest, care ful effort the farmer has advanced his vocation the rank of a trade to that of a profession. We understand and appreciate then the true value of specialization. from T he commencement address by President Thompson of Ohio State University was a cogent and forceful one. President Thompson is a large man with a commanding personality. He said in part: " B r o a d ly speaking, there is an increased interest i" j he course of edncatio" as Indicated by the munifi cent gifts to education of late years. Education does not have to do primarily with getting on in the world. It is not selfish. Education is the organized optimism of the world. It looks to t he future, is not stagnant. T he true teacher is he w ho has confidence in himself and in the world. He cannot be a pessimist. He must have the power to uplift his fellow man. Education elevates to freedom, and there can be no freedom where there is no dominion. CLASS OF 1902. BACHELORS OF SCIENCE. Ayrs, Orla L., Agricultural College. Baker, J. Fred, St. Croix Falls, Wis.
