Soon after the center of the Freshmen punted to the the field and half was over. T he usual intermis sion was taken and both teams were in need of the rest because of the fierce battering.

T he following is taken from Friends of the Joiva Homestead: agricultural progress will be pleased to learn that Prof. P. G. Holden, of Illinois, has accepted the professor ship of agronomy at the Iowa Agri the word cultural College. As ' ' a g r o n o m y" has come into use (luring the last few years it mav be necessary to give its significance. It means the theory and practice of the production of farm crops. As the production of farm crops inti mately associated with a knowledge of the soil, it necessarily embraces soil physics, as well as the chemistry and bacteriology of soils and crops. T he recognition of a department of agronomy institution means the placing of the work on a broader and better foundation than heretofore, and the choice of Prof. Holden as chief head of this great division is a most favorable omen for future progress. Although a young man, having been born in the state of Minnesota in 1865, there are few men in the great central West who have had as broad and practical as well as scientific experience in agri cultural matters as Prof. Holden. Indeed, judging by what he has in the states of Michi accomplished gan and Illinois, we believe that he stands in a class by himself. He life on the farm and spent his early by his efforts before entering the Michigan Agricultural College and after graduation from that institution won for himself an enviable reputa tion as a successful operator of farm affairs.

TUESDAY, OCT 21,1902. the proffered N OT LONG ago Chancellor Andrews of the University of Nebraska refused to accept an in crease in salary amounting to $2,000, which had been tendered him by the In University Board of Regents. refusing i.icrease, Chancellor Andrews stated that his present salary of $5,000 a year was sufficient for him, and that the extra $2,000 would better be turned over to some department of the Uni versity. As president of Brown University he refused not many years ago a somewhat similar offer, his reasons for so doing at that time being much the present case. the same as in Chancellor Andrews has been the subject of much newspaper discus sion because of his adherence to the free silver doctrine in 1S96 and be cause of his recent utterances re garding celibacy and crime; No matter how one may regard his ex pressed views, Chancellor Andrews is a strong man, and his action in re fusing an increase in salary has a peculiar significance for the cause of education and for the present age. When the members of a school board can commit penitentiary offenses for $2.50 each, and when prominent writers can boldly assert in leading educational journals (and perhaps with some degree of truth) that " teachers as a class have much servility," in disproof of the idea that all men are weak, it is refreshing to know one who can display a com mendable strength of character and who can show by example that his horizon is not limited by the sight of money. The arraignment by Carlyle and Ruskin that the present age is ma terialistic is not always disproved in the person who talks loudly about the social good and the new ethical standards, for it may chance that such a person has in mind the public notice that will inevitably result to him. There is no taint of the spec tacular in Chancellor Andrews' ac tion, for his life has been too consis tent to warrant the thought and his action,consequently,must be accepted as genuine. In refusing an increase in salary Chancellor Andrews has placed in T HE M. A. C. R E C O R D. foreground ethical values. the There is a strong tendency at the present time to believe that educa tion is justified for the sake of edu cation. A moral nausea is often the logical sequence. For material and intellectual progress are not synono- mous with the progress of civiliza tion, since the forces making for progress in any given age cannot be entirely comprehended by their strongest particular manifestation, nor by any attitude man crin assume regarding them. One cannot justify himself now adays by proving that his ethical standard is higher than was that of any of his ancestors. The pertinent question is: Has ethical progress kept pace with material progress ? The economic dictum that the mod ern age has individual accountability is, in fact, too true and the only safeguard against this tendency lies in strong, responsible, individual action. Such an action was that of Chancellor Andrews. lessened THE LECTURE COURSE. to select the country In arranging for the program this year we had tome of the best talent in from. Three different lecture bureaus are represented on our list. By these means we were able to get a pro gram that we think will please the student body as a whole. We thought it wise to vary the program somewhat and not make it a strictly lecture couise, so we have divided our program into three parts—first, lectures; second, musical numbers, and third, entertainments. Under the first head we have engaged two noted lecturers, Dr. John P. D. John, ex-President of De Pauw University, and Hon. Geo. R. Wendling. These men have world wide reputations as lecturers, but this will be their first appearance at M. A- C. Under the second head have been engaged the "Roney's Boys Concert Co., who will appear here for the first time on Oct. 29, and The Hahn-Parke Quintette, consisting of five young lady string instrument players, in company with Mr. Roy H. Hoskins (basso). In selecting the third group we have somewhat deviated from last year's course by selecting the "Ritchie's Unique Entertainers," a style of en tertainment never before introduced at M. A. C, but one that is sure to gain the favor of the audience. The other number under this head is Herbert A. Sprague, "Impersona tor," a man highly spoken of by the newspapers. Richie's U n i q u e Entertainers, Monday, March 16. Hon. Geo. R. Wendling, « The Man of Galilee," Friday, April 17. The Roney's Boys Co., which will appear next week Wednesday, is composed of six persons, five boys and Mr. Roney. These boys play instruments and sing, and Mr. Roney is conductor and accompanist. This troupe is most highly spoken of by the public press. In fact the presence of Mr. Roney himself in the troupe suggests accomplishment and ability, for Mr. Roney is widely known as a musician of ability. He acted as Musical Director of the National Peace Jubilee, Chicago, in October, 1898, which enlisted the services of sixty-three Chicago church choirs and an artist's chorus of twenty pro fessional male and female quartettes. Mr. Roney has trained these boys himself, and therefore a most de lightful program is assured for that evening. The first lecture of the course will take place as noted above on Friday, In engaging Dr. John Dec. 5th. P. D. John we think we have selected a man of rare ability. We had a large coterie to select from, and in choosing this man we consid ered the needs of the student body as well as the man's ability, and we do not hesitate to assure the patrons of the course a rare treat when the Hon. Mr. John will give his lecture on the " Worth of a Man." He has a remarkable record as a lecturer, having been on the platform about In this time he has de five years. livered addresses throughout the United States and Canada. He has addressed multi plied greatest themes now engaging pub lic thought. thousands on some of 12,000 over the Herbert A. Sprague, as an imper sonator is without a superior. His rendering of David Copperfield is sure to please the audience, for his interpretation is so true, and is given with so much feeling that one thinks the original stands before him, and not an impersonator. He is strongly recommended, Ex-Gov. Luce say ing of him: " The audience is made to feel that they are listening to half a dozen people instead of one." To those who heard the Steven son String Quartet last year nothing need be said of this class of enter tainment, for this number was one of the most satisfactory on the pro gram. The Hahn-Parke Quintette, whom we have engaged^ this year, is as good, if not better than the aforementioned. Miss Hthn, the leader of the quintette, has had pro nounced success as a violinist in this country, and Mr. Ray Hoskins important, knows how (basso) has a deep, mellow bass voice of great power, and what is most to handle it. No instrument can sur pass the string instruments, especially the violin and cello in excellence of tone and impressiveness. To lovers of music this should be an attrac tion well worth patronizing. The Ritchies' Unique Entertain ers is so much different from any thing that has appeared at M. A. C. before that it is impossible to predict how it will be accepted. The com pany consists of Mr. Ritchie and wife in feats of magic. Mr. Frank Hall, musician, performing upon and Miss strange Blanch Neal (Elocutionist). It is a sure thing that this number will be one of the the most popular course. instruments; in The Hon. Geo. R. Wendling is another lecturer who has been before the public for a long time. During his career as a lecturer he has de livered aver 1500 speeches. As an orator according to Prof. Thwing he ranks with Ingersoll and Cook. Of the m^ny snbjects on which he lectures, "The Man of Galilee" stands foremost and highest. Our good luck in securing this able man will make this year's course one of the best we have had. It is to be expected that the stu dent body will give these entertain ments their hearty support. Every- student should buy at least one ticket to make the course self-supporting. We have secured some of the best talent available and such talent is high-priced. These entertainments are given for the benefit of the students and are under the manage ment of students selected from the various societies on the grounds. It is to the students' interest to make a success of this venture, and this can be accomplished only if every stu dent,gives his support. If you have not tickets already you can get the same from any member of the entertainment club, the names of which are published below: B. T. Hess, president; H. Ray Kingsley, manager; E. D. Allis, vice-president; Miss E. Smith, secre tary; E. Palbach, treasurer; Miss H. Wright, F. C. Reimer, J. Haften- kamp. The M. I. A. A. Directors held a meeting at Albion, Friday. A new constitution and by-laws were drawn up for the Association, governing base-ball, foot-ball, and track. Ypsilanti was dropped from the base-ball and foot-ball schedules and Alma substituted. These entertainments have been distributed the winter throughout months at quite long intervals and course tickets are on sale now and will continue so from now on. The price of the course is one dollar (six entertainments), surely a very nomi nal sum for such high class talent, and no student can afford to miss this great opportunity. The price of a single admission will be 50 and 35 cents. There is a possibility of a seventh number on the program. Following is the program of the course: Roney's B o ys Concert Co., Wednesday, Oct. 29. Dr. John P. D.John. Subject: " The Worth of a Man," Friday, Dec. 5. Herbert A. Sprague, " David Copperfield," Friday, Jan. 9. Hahn-Parke Quintette, Friday, Feb. 26. THE D0NSEREAUX CLOTHING & GROCERY CO'S M. fl. 6.
