" Y ou keep coming as a very wel come guest each week, and as soon as I think of it I will send you 50c for your I recently re ceived a letter from my old chum and classmate of '68, S. M. Tracy, of Biloxi, Miss. He is all on fire about next year's alumni meeting. Says we must all be there, especi ally as our class was the first to start these gatherings. As I remember it, our class was the first to start a col lege paper. Beasley, Burton, Davis and Tracy, as also the writer, used to take a hand as editor. Occasionally some of us wrote machine poetry until D r. Kedzie told the first named to 'write such poetry only when he could not write a word of sense in remark silenced the prose.' T h at poetry. T he first three of our class above named and the good old doc tor have passed over the river. Sam tells me that W. A. Wells (Friday) is at Corning, A r k ., where he strided some years ago. Harrison is at Kalamazoo, Place at Ionia, probably, and Gully still at Storrs, Conn., from whom I occasionally hear about the big show at M. A. J O HN S W I F T, '6S. C. next year." Mr. Swift states that his father moved from W a y ne county in 1857 via the Detroit^.Howell and Lansing Plank Road, and he saw the first two building, "College Hall as it now stands and Saints' Rest, named by us '68 fellows perhaps because only saints could endure the 'cimex lactularious' and rest at all." M r. Swift mentions many amusing inci dents of his college life, and closes by hoping that the memorial build ing proposition may go briskly on, and that a large per cent, of the old college men may meet at M. A. C. in 1907. '02. T he following in the form of an announcement has just been received by the R E C O RD : T he marriage is announced of Katrina J. Kelly of Toronto, Ontario, to Dillman S. Bullock of Lapeer, Michigan, at the Araucanian Mission, Maquehue, Temuco, Chile, on T h u r s d a y, March 1st, 1906. At home, Boys' School, QuepJK March 15, 1906. , I936- • i e n# Mat NEW WELLS. We take pleasure in presenting this to the readers of the R E C O RD week a cut oE new Wells hall. T h is fine dormitory has .been erected on the site of the old building-, a fact which some of the "old b o y s" will at once recognize. T he building is of red pressed foundation. limestone brick with T he water table, arches and trim mings are of cut stone, the arches total being neatly carved. length of the hall is 250 feet by 38 T he wide and is divided into six wards, the white) lines in the picture show ing the divisions. T he building will accommodate 156 students and, we might add, these will probably consist of juniors and seniors in the main, as these classes will have first choice of rooms for the coming year. T he basement will be given up to the large kitchens and dining rooms, and living rooms for the help. T he dinning rooms will ac commodate in t he neighborhood of 200 students which will relieve the crowded conditions along that line so often experienced at the opening of the college year. On the first three floors will be found rooms for the students, and the fourth is di vided into six suites of rooms which will be turned over to the literary societies of the college. T h e re are a number of these societies now with out permanent quarters and these rooms will certainly be appreciated. T he hall is to be ready for occu pancy next September and will be fitted with every modern conveni- Y. W. C A. HORT. CLUB. Miss Florence Barlow conducted the T h u r s d ay evening meeting. She spoke of the opportunities open to us for the coming year and gave a very interesting talk. Y. M. C A. A r t h ur Wilcox conducted t he T h u r s d ay evening meeting. After a few remarks upon the subject, " T he Bread of Life," the leader left the meeting for open discussion. It is encouraging to note the inter est which the new men show in these meetings. Quite a goodly number of the ,Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. members gathered at 6 130 in the chapel Sunday morning, for special Easter services. T he meet ing was helpful to all that attended. Rev. Minty delivered an interest ing Easter sermon at the regular chapel exercises Sunday morning. T he anthem sung by the choir was exceptionally good. E. N. Bates also gave a solo. Sunday evening, M r. Johnson w ho is secretary of the Lansing Y. M. C. A., talked to the union meet ing. M r. Johnson is a wide awake Y. M. C. A. worker and his re marks were eagerly listened to by the audience Sunday evening. A solo was sung by M r. Glazier. T he Hort. club on Wednesday April 11 were favored by a talk by Mr. C. J. Monroe w ho spoke on the subject " Horticulture in T e x a s ." Mr. Monroe describ;d in particular ideal M r. Rolland Morrill's Texas peach farm. T h is farm consists of 250 acres. M r. Monroe exhibited several pictures illustrating the uni formity of s'ze of trees, thestraight- ness of the rows and the excellent stand there being no missing trees noticeable. SENIOR ENGINEERING SOCI ETY Prof. Sawyer talked to the Sen ior Engineers Wednesday evening on " T he Application of Electricity to Railroads." He explained fully the step-by-step development of the electric railroad, and the relation of each step to its present perfection. Before the adoption of the present trolley batteries system, storage were relied upon for power to pro pel cars. T h en came the trolley, and finally the third-rail. T he introduction of the alternat ing current motor is an important step in railway advancement. It makes possible the use of alternat Electric ing currents, which can be econom ically transmitted over long dis locomotives are tances. greatly needed in tunnels and for carrying to city limits, on account of their smokeless charac teristics, and it is a question whether, in time, they will succeed the steam locomotive or not. trains According to the constitution of the society junior engineers are now eligible to membership and they are cordially requested to join as soon.: as possible in order that they m ai become familiar with the procedirM ings and arouse interest to perpetu ate the society. , 97- T he April number of the Jour nal, American Chemical Society, contains a very interesting article on the examination of writing inks by L.

Hanselman, under date of March 31, tells of his work as chemist for a cane sugar factory at A r r a y o, Porto Rico. Little attention, he states, is paid to losses, labor is so cheap and cane so plenty. Ten per cent, extraction from the cane is considered good work, while 90 per cent, from beets in this country is expected from the sugar factories. THE M. A. C. RECORD. THE M. A. C. RECORD.

TUBS DAT, APR. 17,1906. ATHLETICS. T he first practice game of the season was played Wednesday of last week with Lansing H. S. As a whole the players showed up well for the first game, the hitting being especially good. Of those who show improvement over last year are Boyle, Armstrong, Canfield, and Nies. Others used the game from whom we should be able to get players to fill out the team were : Thatcher, Ellis, A k e r s, Harrison, J. Hitchcock, Kratz, Dixon and Boyle. in T he features were the hitting by M. A. C. Thatcher drove out one two and one three base hit, Canfield a three base, and A k e rs and A r m strong each a two base hit. Batteries for H. S., Millard and McKale. M. A. C. Boyle c, Nies, A k e rs and Nelson p. Final score 11 to 2 for M. A. C. T he team goes to Albion Friday of this week where a practice game will be played. Albion has several of her old players back and will doubtless have her usual strong ag gregation of players. on the letter's T he track men have been doing some work the past two weeks, but this week start out on a regular plan and try and round into shape by they meet A r m o ur May 12 when Inst., grounds. T h e re is an unusual amount of in terest and willingness to w o rk on the part of all the candidates. We are. without stars this year and the men realize that all have an equal chance to make a showing. More places are open tharWever before on team, probably • he only sure the point winner on thewteam being "long distance Waite." OLIVET—M. A. C T wo games were played with Olivet on Saturday, the first result ing in a victory for the visitors, 7 to the 4, while M. A. C. last took In spite game by a score of 5 to 2. the cold disagreeable day, both of teams played well and show that they will be stronger than the aver age intercollegiate team. F or the amount of work they have had our team showed up exceptionally well individually. Olivet, on account of having fewer candidates and prac the that he knew tically all of last year's team in the tact, showed better work than home team. M. A. C. had a large number of candidates to try out and Saturday was practically first time that these nin£ men had played together. Olivet put up an exceed ingly clean, fast game. Chiesman played 2nd in the first and pitched in the second, putting up a star game in both positions, while W e ed at third made some excellent stops. F or M. A. C. all of the old men showed their usual good form, the new players also playing good ball. Ellis at left field, while not being in his position particularly busy proved the game. Kratz at 1st, although showing in experience in the fine points of the game, played a creditable game and promises to be a "comner." Akers, while first game as the pitcher, gives promise of becoming a good running mate of Nies. He allowed the visitors only five hits and except for his wildness did good work. Bird at 1st did good work. In the first game (7 to 4 for Olivet) M. A. C. outhit the the visitors, but the latter were fortunate in getting their hits and bases on balls at the right time. T he second game was a walk-a-way for M. A. C, only three of Olivet's men reaching 2nd, two of whom scored. M. A. C. in the scored one in the first, and fifth three bases on balls followed by a single by Nies and a clean two base hit by Canfield, brought in four runs. Nies pitched his usual steady and reliable game. loosing Following two games : is a summary of the M.A.C. Armstrong ss Boyle c Canfield 2d Akers p . Ellis 1 Kratz 1st Thatcher m Dickson r .
