Washington seems to be th - place of all places for the meeting of the Association of American Agricul and Experiment tural Colleges Stations. It is the city of beautiful buildings, beautiful views and gov ernment departments of all kinds. Naturally the department of agri culture is and ought to be the ren- devous for all scientists at work in agricul ural colleges and stations. T he topics discussed related to the administration of the institutions. In the forenoon and in the evenings the convention met in general ses sion. In the afternoon the experi ment station met in one section and the college men in another, each special section devoting its atten tion to the questions of seeming importance. paramount In the college section the discus sion centered about three principal topics, curriculum, discipline and en vironment. Concerning the curric ulum President Storms, of Iowa, and Hamilton, of Montana, empha sized the idea that the colleges of agri culture and mechanic ai ts were tech nical schools and that for that reason neither too much general culture or too much pure science ought to be given if thereby the technical topics are relatively obscure. Prof. Kane, of N ew Hampshire, a Michigan man, proposed a definite course in agriculture and horticulture differing in detail from the course now in use at M. A. C, but not differing in Presidents principles. g e n e r al Stone, of Purdue, and Snyder, of this college, discussed the courses in h o me Presidents T h o m p s o n, of O h i o; Fellows, of M a i n e; H a r d y, of Mississippi, and A n d i e w s, of Nebraska, discussed the discipline in colleges. economics. T he openings for work outside of college walls were discussed by President Kerr of Utah, Babcock of Arizona, Dr. A. C. T r ue of Washington, and Johti Hamilton of the department of agriculture. T he amount of extension work done by the colleges is being rapidly ex tended. Nature study in agricult ure is being taken up by the pub lic schools and the normal schools are preparing teachers for this work. President K. L. Butterfield of R h o de Island was the secretary of this section. farmer In the section on experiment sta tion work the discussions related to investigation. soil fertility and soil Dr. Hopkins of Illinois believes that the great fertilizer question be fore the American is the supply of phosphorous. T h e re is no longer a nitrogen problem 1 or a questi n about the sufficiency of the the supply of potash. Phosphorous is most likely the element to be wanting. Director T h o rn of Ohio reported the progress of certain ex periments to test the value of lime and Director Wheel; r of R h o de Island suggested many lines of st-il investigation that might properly 1 e the station taken up.

T h e re was an es pecial appropriateness in the hold ing of the meeting at Washington since it gave the delegates an oppor tunity to visit the department of ag riculture and to bring the work of the stations and the department in closer harmony. Secretary Wilson addressed the convention, express ing a strong desire that more money might be appropriated to the Exper iment stations. It is t x r e c t ed that the convention will meet next year in the far west but in 1907 it wi 1 meet at M. A. C. . to join in the celebration of the fif tieth birthday of this college. WELLS HALL. readers of the R E C O R D, T he especially those w ho do not have frequent access to the campus, may be interested in a brief account of the new dormitory now building upon the picturesque site of Weils Hall, whose destruction by fire last February compelled a hundred and twenty students to seek n ew shelter, destroyed the home of two literary societies and closed the career of two boarding clubs. T he new building is to be christ ened after its predecessor, but with the added significance that in the name Wells Hall, there will be com memorated not only the name of Hezekiah G. Wells, the first presi dent of the state board of agricul ture, but also the thirty years of faithful and efficient service rendered to the college by the late Franklin Wells of Constantine. tower or spire. T he architecture of the building is entirely different from that of the older building being, so far as its general lines are concerned, a long, structure without narrow, plain wing, Its severe outlines are, however, relieved with marked effect by six most artistically designed entrances, stone arched overtopped by projecting windows, and by a row of neat dormers jut ting out from either side of the roof. T he building is a trifle less than 250 feet long by about 38 feet wide, and will consist of three stories, basement and attic. T he basement which will be high, light and airy, will c-ntain dining rooms and kit chen for one large boarding club, capable of raring for 200 or more students, with,living rooms for the help at the extreme ends. Five fire walls extending from basement to roof divide the building into six wards. There are four rooms and a. toilet room on each floor of each ward, making seventy-two generous sized living rooms for students. A few of these are to be subdivided so as to make single rooms. In addi tion to these there are a dozen single rooms on the 2nd and 3rd floors It will over the entrance halls. thus be seen that there will be ac commodation for about 164 students. Those in the four adjacent rooms of each ward have access to toilet room floor. T h e re will be on the same maple floors throughout and the fin ish will be of Southern pine. T he attic or the space above the -third story, will be finished off into six suites of rooms for the literary societies. These may not be so commodious as might be wished but will be very cozy and comfortable for a reasonable membership. It has been the aim of those who have been charged with the planning and erection of this dormitory to make it a pleasant, healthful and homelike place for students to live, and it is to take that when be hoped possession of it next fall, they will fully appreciate and respect this College home. they T HE M.

I I, 162 i : " O ur harvest being gotten in, our Governor sent four men on fowling, that we might, after a special so together after we manner, rejoice had gathered the fruits of our labors. T h ey four in one day killed as much fowl as, with a little help beside, served the company almost a week. At which time, among other recrea tions, we exercised our arms, many of the Indians coming amongst us, and among the rest their greatest king, Massasoyt, with some ninety men, whom for three days we enter tained and feasted ; and they went out and killed five deer, which they brought to the plantation and be stowed upon our Governor and upon the captain and others. And al though it be not always so plentiful as this time, yet by the goodness of God we are so far from want that we often wish you par takers of our plenty." it was at A. A. Fisk '05 has recently sent to Prof. Pettit specimens of the large Cuban ant. This ant is known to the Cuban as Cibijagua. It works in the cane and other field-, making nests of considerable size and doing considerable damage. These were accompanied by specimens of the soldier ant which have large fierce heads but slender undersized bodies. T he duty of these soldiers is to fight for the female ants and pro tect the nests. Mr. Fisk also sent several scale insects for identifica tion.

T HE G O OD FELLOW. Professor F r a nk J. Miller, of the University of Chicago, in spite of Mr. Rockefeller's advice to the con trary, thinks a young man should In a lecture be a ''good fellow." to the students he told them : " It is not good for man to be alone, therefore cultivate the social graces.

T he rea'ly successful man gets around among men and does not hold himself apart." fellow men. to be a in T h e re this, is good advice especially for the young man, and the difference bet we n this and Mr. Rockefeller's advice is in the differ ent interpretation of " g o od fellow." T he oil king's idea seems to be that a " good fellow" is a roisterer, a bibber and a spendthrift, making free with his employer's as well as his own time and money. T h e re are that kind of " good fel ows," but they are crude imitations of the real thing. T he genuine good fellow is of the kind that Professor Miller seems to have in mind. He gets out among people and seeks to know them. He is sociable and genial and tries to find something enjoy able in whatever circle he may be in. He has his sympathies with him as well as his good nature, and if the world does not like him it is its own, not his fault. Being the right kind of a good fellow is a great help not only to the good fel low himself but to all who come in contact with him.— Grand Rapids Press. Evening NEW YELLS FOR '08 CLASS. N u ts !
