An elaborate banquet was served to the Alumni in the banquet dining room of the De J o n g he Restaurant, 45 Monroe St., Chicago, opposite the Palmer House, on Saturday evening, March 4. T he attendance was not as large as at some of the former banquets. T he members present were Hoyt, Eastman, Nies, Rummler, Simmons, George Reynolds, Llewellyn Bowerly, Ilawley, Rider, Randall, George Williams, J. L. Simmons, Fraser, D. W. Smith, Clarence E. Smith, Sam Kennedy, O. H. Skinner, Chandler, J. J. Ferguson, H o w a rd Weed, Prost, M c G r a t h, C. J. Monroe, Paul Chamberlain, and J. W. Perrigo. Professor C. D. Smith faculty and the represented contained President. T he menu many unique features but was received with true Club A apprecia tion. W h en good digestion began to wait on satisfied appetite Pro the recent fessor Smith reported changes at the college, the putting in of the tunnel and the burning of Wells Hall, the increase of equip ment in the generally, changes faculty and in administration and the varying trends in student life. No more loyal set of men could be numbered in the alumni of this or any other institution. T h ey were deeply interested in every detail of the life of the college. i he T he photographs of Wells Hall burning, aroused a host of pleasant and pathetic memories and brought forth expressions of affection and loyalty. E v e ry one insisted upon the continuation of dormitory life at M. A. C, and remarked that this feature of their Alma Mater was not the least valuable contributions which it made to their life and power in the world. T h ey depre cated any tendency to do away with dormitories. As showing the value of training along mechanic d lines in agricultur al colleges, Professor W o o d w o r th reported that when ten men con spicuous for ability in mechanical Iowa. colleges.. agricultural engineering were desired for wit- ne-ses in a certain important case it was found that six of them were educated in mechanical departments of T h r ee were M. A. C. graduates, two came from Manhattan, Kansas, and one Professor T h u r s t on from of Cornell, once remarked that the development of manhood, character and technical skill in these college courses had compelled the universi t i es themselves to adopt the methods and means in these colleges. Presi dent Paul Chamberlin, of the asso ciation, next called upon President C. J. Monroe of the Board, w ho re sponded by a carefully prepared paper on the early history of the college. it spoiled As the menu began to have its usual effects, Rummler, Nies, East man and Kennedy put their heads together to compose an impromptu poem on the burning of Wells Hall. Your reporter desired to bring the " P o m e" home for* publication in T HE R E C O R D, but the car was w a rm and transit. T wo in verses were cut out, submitted to Dr. W a t e r m an for evening up the feet and to Professor Vedder for correcting the measure. H e re is a couple of sample stanzas. T h ey will lose because not presented in the dulcet tones of the four com posers, whose singing was all that could be desired. How dear to my heart are the scenes of Wells Hall, That stood at the top of the Red Cedar slope. That festive old sanctum the bed bugs and all, Have left the old campus, have gone up in smoke. How well we remember you moss covered freshy, When first you appeared 'neath the win dow to gaze. We sophs in the window above you, poor freshy, The bag that we dropped, and the yell that you gave.

Don't get bug-house, We were only, only hazing you. Amen. It is needless to say that the A s sociation adjourned soon after the music was rendered out of this song. George N. Eastman was elected president and P. B. Woodworth, permanent secretary of the organ ization. C. D. S M I T H. HORT. CLUB. M r. S. Dorsey ably addressed the Horticultural club Wednesday night, on the subject "Small Fruits versus Orcharding." It is a subject well worth the attention of the prospec tive horticulturist. T he discussion had a balance in favor of orcharding, from an economical standpoint. T he usual spirit was manifest at the club but there was not as large an attendance as there ought to have been. Evidently, students do not appreciate the value of the club. Prof. Hedrick will speak at the next meeting. THE CHORUS CONCERT TO BE GIVEN MAY 5th. T he M. A. C. chorus has decided on M ay 5th as the date for its rendering of H a y d n 's " C r e a t i o n ." T he chorus is doing excellent work and expect to give a concert worth hearing. T he three soloists w ho have been engaged to assist are Miss Elizabeth Blamere, s o p r a n o; M r. Boice Car son, tenor, both of Chicago, and M r. W a l t er C. Howell, basso, of Cleveland. those w ho have heard Miss Blamere and M r. Carson are both most highly recommended by them, and have sung in many parts of the United States. M r. Howell, too, has many concert engagements, but he needs no further recommendation to those w ho had the pleasure of hearing him last year. A r r a n g e ments have also been made for an afternoon concert, and all may look forward to a musical treat on M ay 5th. '90, m. J os H.

TUESDAY, MAR. 7, 1905. N ow is the time when all our friends are interested in the attitude of the legislature toward the Col lege. T h e re seems to he a friendly feeling on all sides toward the in stitution but just what support the legislature may feel able to give, re mains to be seen. T he Board has asked for $60,000 to replace Wells Hall, also for an engineering build ing, auditorium and library. An addition to the botany building and $15,000 for removing and rebuilding barns. It goes without saying that every old student, alumnus and friend of the College, can render very valu able aid by getting in touch with his If they representatives at Lansing. understood the work the College is doing and its pressing needs as you do, ihis would not be necessary. Will you not express to them your desires in this matter ? To indicate the overcrowded con dition we quote from the presidents report, made few weeks ago. the board a to To the Honorable State Board of Agriculture. G E N T L E M EN : the growth of reorganization of At this, the regular biennial meet ing for the Board, it seems proper that I should make a brief report of the progress of the College during the past two years, with a statement as to its immediate need*. T he continued the institution has been quite rapid in recent year-. T ne number of stu dents in attendance this year wi 1 be a few over one thousand, a gain of about one hundred over last year. T he largest gain is in the agricul tural department. It has been a very difficult task to find class room and this laboratory equipment for large number. Students in classical or literary courses in other colleges spend from fifteen to eighteen hours per week in the class room, while our students, owing to the technical and scientific character of work, spend to forty hours per week in the class room, includ ing laboratories and shops. This necessitates a great increase in room, apparatus and teachers over the old style college. This has compelled us to make class rooms or labora tories of every basement and attic which could possibly be used for thirty from THE M. A. C. RECORD. In some of these such purposes. light can be rooms only artificial used. W i th all these handicaps, the work during the past two years has been quite satisfactory. T he faculty has been harmonious and earnest; the students well behaved and industrious. WTe have been compelled to use our appropriation during the past few years to take care of such needs as concerned all departments. T h r ee living in dor hundred young men mitories had no bathing facilities, hence the new bath house. Our old heating system was entirely inade quate and worn out. T he water system consisted of wooden pipes which had been in the ground for many years and would not stand pressure sufficient to force water to fire. We top of buildings in case of had no electric lighting system, but were compelled to contract for lights with outside parties. T h e se condi tions made it necessary to build a central plant at considerable cost to these pressing needs. take care of While we have been making these general improvements, the number of students has doubled and trebled. laboratories and class rooms O ur were all right for three hundred students, but are hopelessly over crowded with one thousand. in W i t h o ut making any effort to the order of classify our needs importance, I shall call your atten tion to a few of the more pressing. In my report of 1901, concerning the Mechanical Department I stated that we had the s i me shop room and drawing rooms as were thought necessary when we had about ninety students. We then had two hun dred and twenty-two students; we now have in this department three hundred and eighty. We have re sorted to every plan and device pos sible to accommodate these students, but instances have been compelled to shut down the work and at other times to give it under conditions which were far from sat isfactory either to students or teach ers. If the Mechanical Department cannot be given more room, it will be absolutely necessary refuse admission to a large number who will wish soon to enter. in some to for term Drawing and Civil Mathematics is now taught in three different buildings. Some of the rooms used for this purpose are very poorly lighted and badly ventilated. Engi neering are taught in five different buildings. One small office is pro vided for the eight teachers of this department, and even part of this space must be used as a storage apparatus. expensive room Much inconvenience is experienced at the beginning of each in finding rooms in other departments in which to hold these classes, and very often the rooms are not well suited for this line of work. The English Department is in a similar condition. Classes are held in any vacant room or laboratory to found, often with very poor be accommodation for such work. The Chemical Department has been very much overcrowded for years. Every corner in the base into ment has been laboratory room ; part of the lecture room has also been devoted to this work. E v e ry space in the general laboratory is occupied from eight in the morning until five p. m., with the exception of the noon hour, and turned away. some students are T wo years ago, in order to make room for class work, the Experi converted ment Station work in chemistry was removed to the second story of the Veterinary Building.

T wo The Botanical in was Building burned i8go. An effort was made to secure from the legislature $20,000 for a building, but this sum was cut down to $10,000. T h is building, almost from the first, was too small. T he w o rk on plant physiology has not been given for lack of four years on account of room. T he building does not con tain room sufficiently large to ac commodate the large classes. Our Forestry Department is new and has not yet been provided with proper equipment. T h is de partment can do Michigan and the farmers of the State almost untold good, if given encouragement and financial support. T he Women's Building accommodate does not young nearly the women. Either the wing left off when the building was constructed should be added, or a large dining room built in the rear. Both are very desirable. The Military Department should have a large drill hall. T he A r m o ry at present will accommodate just one-qaurter of the freshmen cla-s. In addit on, this room must be used for a gymnasium and auditorium. T he Department of Physical Cul ture should have a gymnasium. The Agricultural Department should receive considerable aid at once.

Or, we might cease all advertis ing or announcements. In this way a large number of young people in the the State v\ ould not know of advantages to institution has offer and hence would not ask ad mission. But this plan would also deprive that we the very students are anxious to serve from receiving an education.

T he last meeting of the F a r m e r s' Club was unusually interesting and practical. Dr. George Waterman discussed the question " T he Mule as a Substitute for the F a rm H o r s e ." T he whole lecture was well worth room publishing, but for lack of only a few points will be mentioned. T he mule excels the horse in the following points : i. It is less subject to disease, such as digestive disorders, lame ness, etc. 2. A mule will not overeat. 3. It requires Ys less grain and an equal amount of hay, thereby making quite a saving. 4. T he average walk of a mule is faster than that of a horse. 5. It requires less shoeing. 6. A mule lives longer than a horse. 7. A mule cheaper, requiring much less care.' can be wintered less grain and T he points brought up against the mule were 1. It costs more. 2. It will not breed. 3. It will not w o rk on soft, wet land. that shown It was clearly if a mule is properly handled, it will have as gentle a disposition as a horse. T he were brought up showing that it is more profitable the market than horses. to raise mules for following points A mule sells for a higher p r i c e; it can be sold profitably 2 years sooner than a horse ; they are much easier to break ; it is not necessary to be so particular about mating them ; they are not as apt to become blemished as horses and even then a blemish does not discount in the price as much as with horses. A mule can be raised with less care and there is less risk at birth. T h e re is a ready market for mules in Michigan. DEBATING CLUB. T he question, " Resolved that the boarding clubs at M. A.
