DR. JOHN'S LECTURE. A large of College number people heard on Friday evening D r. J o hn P. D. J o h n 's lecture, the sub ject being, " T he Worth of a M a n ." T he room was cold and Dr. John was handicapped by throat trouble, having been out in the recent rain storm after having lectured for an hour and a half. T he combination of cold room and laryngitis was not conducive to lofty thought but what could not be helped was patiently endured. Dr. J o hn introduced his lecture by relating a story of t wo sailors. One sailor looked out across the sea and reported a sail far off on the horizon. T he other having looked in the same direction reported the sail near at hand. Both were right, through for each one had different ends of the telescope. T he speaker contended that greatness depends upon the measuring unit, and that the basis of greatness in man is conscious self-activity. looked Greatness is then a matter of com parisons. A man measured by a yard stick or seen from a great dis tance is insignificant. In compari son with the great solor system he sinks into nothingness. A flower, a dog, a boat and a man are on the precipice of Niagara. All are de stroyed. T h e re is no sliding scale in the terrace of God's universe. Limited by physical law man is helpless. Physiological law was next con sidered. This law is no respecter of persons. Unbridled passion, the demon of drink have claimed many a genius. Whatsoever a man sow- eth that shall he also reap. T he deed returns upon the doer. This is not preaching but science. R i g ht is right and wrong is wrong, nor is genius any palliation for sin. T he law of intellectual progress is work. Idleness causes one to degenerate into a beast. T he soul rises above the physical and physiological takes many days to go around the world, but man's thought can in a few mo ments go round the world many laws. It reach of times. T he magnificent human intellect is a cause for hope, for that which limits is to that ex tent greater than that which is lim ited. Y. M. C A; NEWS. Thursday evening prayer meeting was lead by M r. E. A. Seelye. Subject: " T he developmeet of char acter." T he most priceless posses sion any man or woman may ever have in this world is a perfect char acter.

N ow there is one best way to accomplish our purpose in securing these best things in life, and it is our business Jesus Christ to find this best way. says: " S e ek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all things shall be added unto these you."

TUESDAY, DEC. 9, 1902. W E A RE glad to give the De troit M. A. C. Alumni Asso ciation considerable space this week. It has come to our ears incidentally that Mr. E. I. Dail, secretary of the association, was mainly responsible for the organization of the Detroit Alumni. He has spent six weeks in perfecting the association, making many personal calls and writing nu merous letters, besides carrying on his regular work. H e re was unsel fish labor for the social good, worth pondering over. from week While speaking of the alumni, we wish to call attention to the present issue of this paper. We have called it the first "Annual A'umni Num ber," and an efforl will be made to send a copy to each alumnus and old student w ho is not a regular sub scriber. As has been said many times before the interest in the Col lege of the alumni, faculty and stu dents should find a common ground. T he present issue does not even give as much variety of alumni news as ordinarilv appears to week, but an effort has been made to have a representative issue as regards the character and aim of the paper. To non-subscribers it may be ex plained that an effort is being made, and with some success, to maintain each week an alumni column, which shall be devoted exclusively to alum It is earnestly desired that ni items. the R E C O RD be the hands of every one who has been a student at M. A. C. T he paper does not pay for itself financially, as the subscrip tion price is but fifty cents, in order that it may be within reach of every one. in T he M. A. C. alumni will gather at the College in large numbers at the J u ne Commencement. N ow is the time to get in closer touch with the College. If you are not taking the paper now, frankly w hy do you not subscribe ? T he College paper should be taken, not because it represents a high order of journalism, but because each alumnus should keep in touch with his Alma Mater.

Not an exceedingly large but a most enthusiastic meeting was held at the Detroit Light Infantry A r mory, N o v. 17, for the purpose of a D e t r o i t - M. A. C. organizing alumni association.

Such meetings as this by those who had not seen each other since the time they had defended the same colors and yelled the same " y e l l" in their happy college days, could not fail to prepare the way for an en thusiastic business meeting. Mr. Henry A. Haigh, '74, pre sided as temporary chairman, and Mr. E. I. Dail, '02, as temporary secretary. M r. H a i gh opened the meeting by a very enthusiastic speech, in which he said that he con sidered M. A. C. one of the best in stitutions in the state. T h at it gave backbone and stamina to the prac tical business man, and gave to the professional man a better foundation than any other in the state.

Wesley Cortright, w ho played regularly at right-end, came to M. A. C. with considerable foot ball experience, having played on the Hillsdale high school and college teams. He stands 5 feet 6% inches in height and weighs when in train ing 159 pounds. H is home is in Hillsdale. F r a nk Kratz, right tackle, played right guard on the Albion high school team for three years before entering M. A. C. He played right tackle on the team last year, which experience greatly helped him in his work this year. He is 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighs 167 pounds. R i g ht Guard H a r ry Meek came to M. A. C. from his home in Man- ton with no football experience, and never having seen a game. This is his second year at right guard, at which position he is without a peer in the M. I. A. A. He is 6 feet 1 ^ inches tall and weighs 175 pounds. J o hn Decker, center, has been a member of the squad for three years, time making the team for the first this year. His work has been very consistent with a few minor excep tions. He is probably the strong est man on the squad, standing 6 feet and weighing 190 pounds. Left Guard T u r n er had some football experience on a high school team, and made the first team late in the season; playing in but one game. He made a very creditable showing, being somewhat inexperienced but strong and willing, fie weighs 195 pounds and is 5 feet 11 y2 inches tall. Left tackle Bell is another of the squad who has had no former e x perience, but w ho showed by the fqrm he displayed later games, that he is of the right ma terial and will develop into a strong i o j^ inches tackle. He is 5 feet tall and weighs 170 pounds. in the A r t h ur Peters, left end, played on the M. A.

A., came from the Lansing high school with two years' experience. He ran t he team ad mirably, handled t he ball well and was a fine open-field tackier, playing back on defense. He is 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighs 148 pounds. Harold Childs, right half back, also from Lansing high school, with 3 years experience, played his usual star game throughout the season. His punting was the best of any in the M. I. A. A ., and was probably as good an end runner as any. He bucked the line hard, and was always there on defense. He was the choice of the team as captain for next year. tall and He is 5 feet 11 inches weighs 171 pounds. Full Back Strand has had some experience in high school football, but this is his first year on t he team at M. A. C. He improved fast in the latter part of the season and should be a good man for next year. He weighs 178 pounds and is 6 feet tall.

A trifle light but cool and steady, a good defensive player and one w ho should be a valuable man another year. He is 5 feet 8# inches tall and weighs 148 pounds. Leslie A. A g n e w, half and full, improved over last year. T he Michigan College elevens have no phenomenal quarter- backs. D.

Therefore, for pro orchard tection, the was set in the hollow south of the houses now occupied by Profes sors Vedder and Burrows, and the tops of the forest trees were cut off by a fearless climber, then a student, the late Charles E.

To prevent this elongation, and low broad-topped trees, such as all like to see on a lawn, large numbers of the least de sirable were from time to time re moved. W i th plenty of room on all sides the remaining trees readily took the hint and ran up less and spread out more. THE M. A. C. RECORD. To accomplish the same result, some one in authority at the Univer sity of Michigan cut off tops from many of the crowding trees, much to the annoyance of most of the regents and faculty. the V e ry soon after the first buildings were erected, known as College Hail, Saints Rest (burned in 1875), and four brick dwellings, now num bered 4, 5, 6, 7, tree planting began. Professors Holmes, Thurber, Pren- tise, Tracy, and President Abbot brought trees from the forest and purchased others from nurseries. As evergreens were rare in this part of the country, all of these men pre ferred planting them to the native broad leaved trees. A highway then top of the hill the extended from near where President Snyder now lives to a point a little south of H o w ard Terrace. In 1S73 many of those trees were taken out in certain places that no one need see a straight row of maples stretching its length over the campus. A ny one can yet find the remnants of this row. the larger trees about Seeing that each of the four for mer professors of horticulture made a different plan for the grounds, and in consequence, one ripped up and made over at great cost of labor much that his predecessor had done, the fifth man, in '72, before giving the writer, a chance to see what he could do, the State Board of Agri culture wisely employed Adam Oli ver to stick stakes and make plans which they voted to make so perma nent that no one in the future should ever be permitted to change them. W i th small means, the writer set large numbers of the campus in 1873 and '74. T he vari ety was small, but all were Well to insure rapid growth. cultivated He set all evergreens from the house occupied by Profes sor Barrows to the west; those about labora the greenhouses, chemical tory, in fact most of the campus, excepting some that were previously planted by former profes sors. He soon learned that there is nothing permanent in tree planting, —that every year, if not oftener, some tree needed removed, trimmed a little, another set here there. A well-man and another aged evergreen be should never trimmed up from the ground; still there is no law in the Statutes of Michigan to prevent the owner of a lot trimming up his evergreens if he wants to and doesn't know any better. In sSjo, the writer put labels on a few of the trees, and labels have reigned ever since, though they are troublesome to keep in good repair.

No one realizes this as much as the old grad uate or former teacher who returns to the fold after an absence of from ten to twenty years. Even the writer was slightly shocked the other day on the seeing an old photograph of green houses and vicinity taken some twenty-five years ago, when the surrounding trees had fairly become well established.

THE INTERNATIONAL LIVE STOCK EXPOSITION. F or most of the breeders of live stock, the show season of nineteen hundred and two has ended. T he season has been a very interesting one to all who are interested in the development and improvement of livestock, and espe our breeds of those w ho have been cially so to more intimately connected with the production of animals which have competed against one another for the honors of the show ring. Hon ors have crowned results of many a successful breeder, and it seems the highest wishes of all for high achievement in the art of breed ing have been satisfied in the results of this season's showing. Never before have so many excellent indi viduals of all classes been produced and exhibited. the It is truly an T he season came to a fitting close during the week of November 29th to December 6th at Chicago where was held the International Livestock E x position which people have learned to recognize as one of our great annual events. important event in the fact that it is the great est show of cattle, sheep, swine and horses any country affords. It is not a show for mere pastime and amusement, but rather a show where men go and make a careful study and learn what constitutes the per fect type and breed characteristics of the different classes of our useful animals. exhibited, cattle represent mostly beef producing animals, and the horses are mostly of the draft few splendid the coach specimens of type are always to be seen. T he show is really a fat stock show where size and weight, combined with form are quality and symmetry of to be seen in every animal. type, however a T he T he two. In all of the departments, progress seems to have been the watchword of every breeder for nineteen hun dred and sheep and swine departments perhaps showed as improvement over other years as any of the departments, yet to outline it would be difficult wherein they could have made a better showing. little T he horsemen outdid themselves over former years by exhibiting the lot of draft horses Chicago finest has ever known. There was a greater number on exhibition than ever before, and a high standard of excellence was noticeable in every class brought out. T he cattle department was per haps the most interesting part of the exposition to the greatest number of people. T he sentiment of all cattle experts pronounced it the best cattle show ever held. It would seem the war of the breeds must cease and leave fancy alone to choose which breed she will have when it comes to selecting some one breed as the best. A m o ng the pure-bred breed the criticism of ing classes, the Shorthorn, Hereford, Aberdeen, A n g us and Galloway breeders all showed individuals that were beyond the most critical judge, and in not a few cases, it seemed hard to find criti cisms that would warrant the judge in placing one or more animals below the animal he chose to award first place. One who was riot these there cannot appreciate animals in the fullest sense. to offer T he one animal calling forth the admiration of the greatest number of people was perhaps the Hereford bull, Britisher, a bull weighing 2790 pounds, who possessed smooth, even lines and carried himself with ease and style that made him champion the show over all other Here- of fords. T he bull, Choice Goods, and the cow, Reuberta, were shorthorns that were as much admired as any others, and among the black breeds were to be found specimens of equal merit. Breeders of the dual-pur pose type of cattle deserve being mentioned also, as there were ex hibited fine individuals of the Polled Durham-:, Red Polls and Devons. fitted In the fat cattle division, the grand championship was won by a two- steer, year-old Aberdeen A n g us " S h a m r o c k ," a steer and the Iowa Agricultural shown by College. He was awarded his high place of honor by James Biggar, a British expert judge who was called to America to act as judge of the fat cattle.
