Mr. Paul Theadore, for the past sixteen years instructor in the forge shop of this College, resigned at the beginning of the present college year.

EDITOR MASSELINK LEAVES. year returned the Ferris Mr. Gerret Masselink w ho has the had charge of T HE R E C O RD for past to Big has Rapids to accept a position as vice principal of Institute. As Mr. Ferris is a candidate for governor, and must necessarily spend much of his time away from his school, the management of the same is under Mr. Masselink. We feel that by the resignation of Mr. Mas selink the College has lost a man w ho was well qualified for the work he had in hand and one who was able to do much good for M. A. C. It is needless to say that he will be missed from the College commun ity. All join in wishing M r. Mas selink success in his new work. O UR FILIPINO STUDENTS. "I have under my charge one hun dred and ten Filipino students, who are being educated at the expense of the Philippine government. Of the number who are going take agricul tural courses during the remainder of their stay in America, I have five whom I shall be pleased, if suitable arrangements can be made, to place in your institution. * * * T h e se longer students will be three years in the United States, and the pur pose is primarily not to have them secure any sort of a degree, but to get the most possible benefit out of their stay in this country along agri cultural lines." T he above are extracts from a let ter received by Pres. Snyder from W m. A. Sutherland, Supt. of Fili pino Students, Philippine Exposi tion, World's Fair, St. Louis, Mo. T he five boys sent to M. A.
