N o. 20 then, it seems wise and altogether necessary to provide a place where students and faculty can meet, a place which will furnish commodi ous quarters for the Y. M. C. A. and a central place where the al umni and old students may find a home on their return to visit the old M. A. C. In other words a head quarters for our alumni. At the close of the address W a rd Carpenter, '06, rose and proposed two times nine " r a h s" for the me morial which were given with a will. Y. M. G A. in students Thursday evening R e v. L. F. Esselstyn of Persia who is home on a furlough spoke in a meeting of the the chapel. M r. Esselstyn told of some of the ex periences to him that have come during his eighteen years of service in that country. T he address was interesting and instructive through out, giving to the hearers an insight into conditions in that almost un field. M r. Essel known mission styn has been chosen as one of the speakers at the international con vention in Nashville, March 1, and will be listened to eagerly by the M. A. C. students who will attend. It was with regret that the music committees felt the necessity of post poning the musical program that was to have been given in the chapel Sunday evening. R e v. F. M. Cottrell preached in the chapel Sunday morning. A meeting will be held immedi ately after the regular T h u r s d ay evening meeting to choose delegates for the State convention to be held in Adrian F e b r u a ry 15-18. Hon. H. R. Pattengill will speak in the union meeting in chapel Sun taking for his subject day evening "Hearts of Health." It is not nec essary to recommend this speaker to the people of M. A. C. This subject as treated by Mr. Pattengill will be of interest to all. SENIOR ENGINEERING SOCIETY. A regular meeting of the Senior Engineering Society was held in the Physics room Wednesday evening. in a very Mr. M a r k h am showed able manner the methods of run ning control lines for Geological surveys. M r. Barnett read a paper on the History of the Telegraph, showing its development and rela tion to the present wireless system. George D. W h i te is at present manager of the N e w a r k, N. J., of fice of the Patton Paint Co. S. J. K e n n e d y, of the above class, will soon publish a juvenile book of pictures and poems. W. D. Nesbit will write the poems after the illustrations made by M r. Kennedy. T he subjects to be pre sented in the poems are T wo Small Country Boys, '02-'O4. (Johns) An interesting letter from M r s. Elizabeth '04, Stevens, whose husband, M. B, Stevens, '02, is in charge of a large dairy in the west. " We are located on the D. O. Mills' dairy ranch, of which Mr. Stevensis superintendent. T h e d ai y consists of 350 cows, 50 of which are registered holsteins. T he herd produces about 6200 pounds of milk a day, which commands the highest price in San Francisco, where it is shipped for retail trade. This is one of the largest and the most san itary dairies in this part of the state. Mr. Stevens' dairy foreman, Milo J. Wilbur, is a Michigan man who took the course at M. A. C. last winter. " T he ranch consists of about 1S00 acres, and ranch and dairy together employ from 30 to 35 men. T he place is pleasantly located seventeen miles south of San Francisco on an electric car line, and on the direct line of the Southern Pacific Rail road from that city to Los Angeles, so we are in close communication with the city. " We find California climate very desirable and the rainy season, as yet, not unpleasant, for in spite of the rain we have lots of sunshine. " W h en we first came here we ac- cidently met a Dr. Seibert, located at San Mateo, a place fcur miles south of here, whom we found to be a graduate M. A. C. '89. He is the Southern for n ow Pacific R y. Co. surgeon " We frequently see Prof, and M r s. Reynolds of Berkley and find it very pleasant to have old M. A. in a new C. friends so near when country among strangers. " T he R E C O RD is a welcome visitor to our home each week." Mrs. Stevens closes by wishing every success to the old college. '95- Word has been received that the little daughter of W. A. Ansorage '91 -'94, and wife of N e w a y g o, has them. She was been taken from three and one half years of age and was sick but a short time. Pneu monia was the cause of her death. M r. Ansorage is office manager of the Portland Cement Co's plant at N e w a y g o. '00. T he Culture of Tobacco is the title of a book of nearly 200 pages by It is in the form Geo. M.

T he report has been placed in the library. tobacco 'o3- A letter from J a m es Moore states that he is enjoying his work at t he Wisconsin University. His work is principally that of teaching, and he has to deal with both regular course and short course men. MEMORIAL BUILDING. if numbers and A mass meeting was held in the armory Friday afternoon at 4 : 3 0, and enthusiasm count for anything, M. A. C. peo ple are certainly interested in the project of a memorial building. M. A. C's. band, which is growing bet ter every day, furnished the music. Prof. Smith acted as chairman and in his opening speech stated that he was glad indeed to meet the students man to man, deplored the fact that on account of the lack of such meetings there was not the unanimity of spirit between students and faculty that should exist, and called attention to the fact that the new building would in both a social and religious way aid in bringing about the desired conditions. Sec. Brown was then called upon and gave a brief history of the move ment, the action of the Board in the matter, something of the plan of the building and the uses to which it would be put, all of which have been set forth in the circular issued by Mr. Brown. Prof. Smith then called upon Hon. Chas. W. Garfield to tell how this project looks to a graduate of 1870. M r. Garfield told of the first mass meeting he attended at M. A. C. which was called for the purpose of raising $125 for a chapel organ and of the sacrifices made at that time. He spoke of the work and example of such men as Drs. A b bot, Kedzie and others, w ho by their influence had done so much for those who were fortunate enough to come under their teaching. He told many interesting incidents of col lege life to show the spirit of loyalty their which existed not only during years in school, but still exists, and clinched the argument by naming $750 as the sum the class of 1870 would give toward the erection of a building of this kind. Prof. Smith stated that Mr. Gar field was here at a time when the number of students was small so he was going to call upon one w ho was here later, Senator A. B. Cook of the class of ('93). M r. Cook stated that it was always a pleasure . to visit his alma mater and especially so on this particular occasion. He called attention to the great good the from telephone and coming that rural mail delivery and stated these were made possible bv a few men w ho "put their shoulders to the wheel" and never gave up until the thing was accomplished. He spoke of the work of the legislature in the past, of the loyal M. A. C. boys throughout the state and called attention to the fact that a great many contributions of small amounts were more to be desired than large donations from a few. Let every one have a part. Mr. Lilly of the junior ciass was then called upon to speak from the students' standpoint. He spoke of the need of a place where students might be called together in a mass meeting, and urged that the audito rium would provide for such meet It would also furnish a place ings. for waiting and study rooms for the students who are obliged to room rooms off would undoubtedly be provided which would certainly be appreci ated by down town students, and by many of the faculty and instructors as well. the grounds. Lunch M r. J. E. Fisk, '06, president of the Y. M. C. A., then spoke for the association. He called attention to the rapid growth of the organiza tion and of its need for more com modious quarters. He stated that the attendance had doubled in the last three years, and in view of the increased promised facilities at the College, saw in the future a much larger number of Y. M. C. A. men who must have quarters if the work be continued. Director Brewer was then intro duced as one w ho had " w a s h e d" the athletics of M. A. C. and "made them clean." Mr. Brewer suggested that this work be carried on as in one big family, and all work together, pull together, and if we only went into this thing in the right spirit, there could be no doubt as to the out come. the President Snyder was last speaker of the afternoon. He stated that the state had done and is doing a great deal for the college, but it cannot furnish public spirit. Neither can it furnish a building for relig In view ious and social purposes. institution of the g r o w th of the THE M. A. C. RECORD.
