M. A. C. put up flashes of fast ball, M c K e n na being one of the most consistent gainers. Kratz also gained steadily. T he feature of the game was the 105 yard run by Doty for a touchdown after securing the ball from a kick off. Th s was made possible by perfect interference. On defensive work Burroughs, Shedd, Boyle and In Doty all showed up well. the touch first half M. A. C. got five downs.

T he meeting was a rousing one, with many new men present, who entered the school for forestry work. Prof. E. E. Bogue, as speaker of the evening, gave a very instructive and interesting talk especially fitted for the new men, on the lines of the need of a broad foundation of learn ing for foresters to build upon. He ment oned among other things, that a forester needs be a man broad- minded and many-sided because of his touching so many phases of life in his work, and having^ so many different kinds of problems to solve. T he next meeting will occur Tuesday, Oct. 10. Everybody is invited to come, especially those in terested in fore-try. T he to these by FACULTY RECEPTION.

TUESDAY, OCT j, 1905. LECTURE COURSE. T he Entertainment Course for the season of 1905-06 has been defi nitely arranged and is exceptionally strong. T h e re are five numbers, two of which are lectures, two mu sicals and one humorist. Every number, with the exception of the first, comes on Friday evening, so that they are not apt to clash with any social functions of the College, and every one should p an to take advantage of the whole five num bers. T he first number on the course will occur on Oct. 19, when G ; v. Robert M. La Fellette, of Wiscon sin, will speak. Gov. La Follette hardly needs an introduction as through his public life as congress man and governor he is well known. His fa'vorite topics are " R e p r e s e n and " T he tative Government," World's Greatest T r a g e d y ." It is that we certainly very should be privileged this speaker at the opening of our lecture course. fortuna e to hear Not a few M. A. C. people were somewhat disappointed at not hear ing Dr. Herbert Willett, of Chica go University, last season as sched uled. We are glad to note that Dr. Willett will be with us for the sec ond number of the course on N o v. io. It is said that the demand for Dr. Willett on the lecture platform has become so strong that for sev eral seasons his friends have urged him to devote more time to that work. In "opinions of the press" we find plenty of assurance that those who have an opportunity to hear him will be entirely satisfi.d with his lecture. T he third number on the course is a musical headed by Mr. Bohumir Kryl, said to be the world's greatest cornetist. Included in this company are Miss Julia Heinrich, contialto, Carl Heinrich, baritone and violin ist, and Phoebe Mae Roberts as reader. T he musical entertainments are a1 ways much enjoyed here and this promises to be one of the very best ever given. If you are blue and need some thing to enliven you come and hear Ralph Park-tte, humorist, on F e b. If you are not blue come any 2. how" and enjoy a good hearty laugh. T he Interstate Lecture Bureau states that he makes more return dates than anyone they know of and his THE M. A. C. RECORD. second and thi'd lectures more than maintain the first impression. It is saiil that he turns the hose of sun shine on earth's shadowy places and makes radiate therefrom eloquence, humor, wit, pathos, inspiration, en laughter, con thusiasm, morality, tentment, happiness, helpfulness, originality, optimism. Can you af ford to miss hearing him? We think not. T he last number on the course will be given Mar. 2. This enter tainment is given by Miss Lenora Jackson a distinguished violinist and Sibyl Sammis, soprano, assisted by Charles E. Clarke, baritone, and Alex MacFadyen, pianist. It is said that Miss Jackson has been engaged by the leading musical organizations from the Atlantic to the Pacific and she has achieved a place of honor among the world's most noted violin artists. W o r ds of the highest praise are also awarded to the other mem bers of this company where they have appeared and it is believed the lovers of good music will not be dis- app tinted in this number. This is somewhat of an expensive course, but an eff rt has been made to secure the best talent and we feel certain that in the above numbers we will have one of the strongest courses ever presented. No student can afford to miss the Entertainment course and it is hoped that none will be obliged to do so. Pamphlets will be ready soon and as 1000 copies have been ordered each student can be provided with one. Tickets will be placed on sale the latter part of this week. It is not definitely settled just what will be charged for the course tickets. Information on this point can be had in a few days. STATE FAIR. T he exhibit of the Michigan Agricultural College at the state fair in Detroit was made by the de partments of horticulture, entomol ogy, forestry and the farm depart ment of the experiment station. T he horticutural department made an interesting display of fruit in South Haven. Here was exhibited a display of the varieties of peaches, pears, apples, and other fall fruits, showing definitely and clearly both the varietal differences and an ap proximation to the best that might be expected of each variety. T he plates of Japanese walnuts and Para gon chestnuts were especially inter esting ^nd attracted a great deal of atten'ion. F r om the college there were sent grapes and apples, among fruits, and a full line of vegetables, mostly new varieties, to illustrate the work of the college. In fact the object of the whole exhibit was educational rather than spectacular. One of-the most beautiful exhibits at the fair was the handiwork of Professor Pettit. He had prepared four cases of specimens of fruit and leaves, cast in plaster of paris and painted to exactly imitate nature. On these specimens were mounted insects the particular kind of fruit. T he work had been so artistica ly done that it elicited praise from each member of the passing crowd. Many people sup posed the leaves and fruit to be real and the insects to be alive. that molest T he farm department of the ex periment station exhibited, among things, 18 varieties of corn other grown from seed carefully selected to grow this cereal in the very north ern most sections if the state; next came an exhibit of wheat selected to show the improvement possible by good treatment and rigid selection; next several jars showing the form and distribution of nodules on the legumes, especially soy roots of beans and cowpeas, with illustra tions of the development of the root systems of white beans and alfalfa. T he attendance at the state fair was very large, the people coming mostly from Detroit, it is true, still including no small number of farm ers. Such a fair is a go d place to advertise the college but the exhibit ought to be comprehensive not frag mentary. People are inclined to be illustrates lieve that what is shown the entire work of t e college, and it is important therefore that all de partments be fitly represented1 from fruit and vegetables South Haven and the college were exhibited at Grand Ra ids where the attendance was also large and the show, as a whole, most satisfac tory. T he M. A. C DEBATING CLUB. T he M. A. C. Debating Club held its first regular meeting of the year last T h u r s d ay evening, H. C. Buck- nell presiding. T he meeting v. as given over to the discussion of plans term. for the work of the present throughout T he policy of the club the term will be to bring into the debates the discussion of serious and important public questions of a na ture that will require some previous study on the part of the speakers, thus presenting to all the members new ideas and valuable information. An invitation is extended to every one, and especially to the new stu dents, to join the club. A great deal of benefit may be derived from membership in a debating society. T he art of speaking in public in an easy, forceful manner is a valuab'e accomplishment to be attained only by the frequent and long continued practice such as a debating club affords. Meetings are to be held every Thursday evening at 7 o'clock in room 7, College Hall. No initia tion fees or dues are required of those w ho « ish to join. T he ques tion to be debated at the next meet ing is : that Resolved, the concessions made to Russia by J a p an at the Portsmouth conference were justi fiable.

October 12, Resolved, T h at life insurance is a desirable investment. October 26th, Resolved, T h at the fundamental principles of socialism are economically sound.

N o v. 23d, Resolved, T h at a beef trust does exist. Dec. 7th, Question to be selected by the debators. T he plan of the committee for obtaining debators is to have them volunteer to defend one side or the other of the question. By this method, no one will be forced to debate a question in which he is not interested, but instead, the deba or will choose the question in which he is most interested. T he commit tee left the date of December 7th opt n so that if any one had a ques tion they might be given an opportunity. they believe to be Such a method condu> ive to more intt resting de bates and better debating. T he questions are open to any one, a member of the College and the club, who will hand his or her name in to the program committee. R. C. P O T T S, M. J. D O R S K Y, R. G.

T he single tick ets will be 25, 35, and 50 cents and each will have its own particular color. If a 25 cent ticket is pre sented at a 50 cent game, it will be good for that amount but no more, and 25 cents extra will be required for admittmce. A committee has been appointed consisting of M r. McCue, Mr. K. B. Stevens and M r. Clise whose duty it will be to work up a system of book keeping where by a correct check can a l w a \s be maintained between financial secretary and the treasurer. T he officers of the new council elected are L. J. Smith, president; P at O'Gara, vice-president; C. A. Mc Cue, recording secretary; B. B. Clise, treasurer; Director Brewer, financial secretary; K.

He is one of the best of punters on the field, and gives promise of becoming a star in that department of the game.
