All pitchers may look alike but in some cases their work differs. Kalamazoo started with Burroughs in the box and M. A. C. scored seven runs in two innings. Kim- merle was then put in and checked the hitting for a little time but it did not last long and in the last three innings twelve runs were registered, eight of which, in the ninth were scored on eight singles and a two base hit in succession. T he score tells the story of the game. E v e ry man on our team hit the ball hard and Nies pitched a splendid game. Shaffer, who went into the box the latter part of the game, also did good work. first Kalamazoo played a better game than the score would indicate, doing good fielding work in the face of the fierce hitting. M. A. C. also ran bases almost at will. T h is is the time M. A. C. has won from Kazoo on her home grounds. the third cup game for the team and insures them a chance at least on Field Day.

Last Friday evening the Senior Engineering Society set aside their usual order of business and enter tained the senior agriculturalists and a number of the faculty. After a short social session in the societie's room in the Physics Build ing, the assembly adjourned to Club B. to partake of the banquet which had been prepared by the ladies of the club. T he efforts of the society to make this occa'ion one long to be remembered was shown by the ex cellence of the repast. W h en the spread had been dis posed of M r. Fowler, acting as toastmaster, after a few well chosen remarks, called upon President Sny der to talk upon " T he Relation of the Graduate to his Alma Mater." In his talk the President pointed out the various temptations which come to the graduates of technical colleges, and the importance of a strong character and a high ideal in all things pertaining to their work. His advise to the young man start ing his profess:onal career was to be honest in all his dealings, seek only the best associates, connect himself with some good church, and start by saving a part of his income, how ever small, use his savings as a foundation to build, from which then get married and live happily ever after. T he toast-master then introduced Prof. Sawyer as the man w ho the organization of brought about the Engineering Society and the man whose untiring efforts in behalf of the students has won for him the admiration and appreciation of the entire student body. Prof. Sawyer talked of the young man securing his first position. He emphasized the necessity of self confidence, a willingness to begin at the bottom, and an ability to don the jumper and overalls and dig his way upward. In introducing the next speaker the toast-master voiced the senti ments of his classmates in the follow ing words : " It is a great thing to build the tools which mould a civil ization ; it is a great thing to till the soil and maintain a civilization ; but the gray matter of men's to till minds to provide an environment in which men may grow and ex facul pand to the fullness of their ties—this is the work of a master, and such a master is our own Dr. E d w a r d s. T he subject of the talk was " T he Relation of Reading to the Development of Character," and was just such a.talk as all students knowing the Doctor have come to expect from him. He advised the habit of reading the newspapers and news periodical-, then pointed out the necessity of developing that side of the man which is apart from the mere struggle for gain, by fos tering a taste for that class of litera ture which strengthens the mind, intellect, and makes broadens the the reader apprec'ative of the best that is in life. T he next speaker was M r. Leon those ard, whose position among students who have been fortunate enough to become well acquainted the with him, is characterized by title " P a ." Mr. Leonard talked of " T h e o ry vs. Practice," and brought forward many incidents from his own experience showing the use of in practical a theoretical education work. He again brought out the importance of being willing to begin at the bottom and earn promotion step by s'ep. T he appropriateness speaker's appellation was of shown by his fatherly interest in the future efforts of "his boys." Prof. Holdsworth next related "College Reminiscences," entertain ing his hearers with pleasing de scriptions of college life at M. A. C. at the time when he was a student within its walls. His closing advice to the Seniors was to keep in touch life by with reading good books, seeing the great dramas and cultivating an ap preciation of the fine arts. the aesthetic side of the T he next speaker was Prof. the relation Shaw, w ho spoke of ship existing between the mechan ical and agricultural sciences. He showed how one was dependent upon the other and the two at the He all foundation of showed the high standing of our M. A. C. in its development of these two sciences. He also showed how the graduate, in his efforts to pro ceed in his profession, often did hurried and warned his hearers against such a course. and careless w o rk society. own it was not the first time the T he last speaker of the evening was M r. Gunson, who true to the toastmaster's prophecy, gave us a a talk "as glad and wholesome as flowers." Mr. Gunson his said that first others had been given places on the program and he at last called upon to bring on the flowers. But he demonstrated in very pleas ing the talk that he was equal to occasion. He reminded the seniors of the valuable privilege which has in securing a college been education and importance of the making the best possible use of that privilege in the years to come. theirs At the the close that to be toast master called for the class yell, after which the meeting adjourned, every one the occasion was one feeling T h e re remembered. long have been many events in the last four years, whose memories will long be cherished by the class of '05, but none which will stand out as the best, as will this banquet. T he impetus and inspiration given us by the toasts will never be forgotten. T he speakers were men who had risen to their present positions by the strength of their own characters, and in the talks of the evening they simply gave us a part of themselves. We forgot that we were listening to toasts, but felt rather that we were being given heart to heart talks by ever men whose memories will stand as our ideals in our chosen profession. In behalf of the agricultural sen iors the writer wishes to express our appreciation to the Senior E n g i neering Society pleasant and profitable evening spent with them.1 A . J.

T he last session was a most in spiring one when the large audience overflowed the spacious auditorium of the church into halls and commit tee rooms and even into the streets.

Because of the infrequency of late spring frosts we have a greater nnmber of peach crops than any other state, and our peaches also come into the market when they are wanted for canning after the hot weather- T h e re is a great future for the apple industry as our apples are well flavored and yield abundantly.
