CHRISTMAS. 

Christmas  passed  off  very  pleas 
antly  and  quietly  at  M.  A.  C .,  quite 
a  number  of  our  teachers  spending 
friends.  A 
the  day  with  outside 
goodly  number  of  trees  were  set  up, 
however,  and  many  homes  were 
made  happy  because  of  this  most 
joyous  season. 

T he  day  school,  as  well  as  the 
M.  A.  C.  Sunday  school,  held  ap 
propriate  exercises 
in  the  Chapel, 
both  displaying  fine  Christmas  trees. 
T he  day school  gave  for its  program 
that 
two  interesting  cantatas  while 
of  the  Sunday  school  consisted  of 
selections  by  the  little  folks  and  was 
heartily  enjoyed.  Dr.  Blaisdell  was 
called  upon  for  a  Christmas  story 
children  something 
and 
of the  meaning  of  the  day  to  us  in 
connection  with  gifts,  and  also  the 
fable  of  the  trees  which  explained 
the  reason  w hy  the  pine,  hemlock 
and  spruce  were  "evergreen."

the 

On  Sunday  the  school  dispensed 
with  the  regular  exercises  and  the 
time  was spent  in singing  Christmas 
songs  and  in  looking  over  and  talk 
ing  about  Christmas  pictures.  M r. 
H.  P.  Piper  read  an  excellent  origi 
nal  poem  as  a  part  of  the  exercises.

Monday  Evening,  January  7. 

T he  lecture  by Jacob  A. Riis  next 
Monday  evening  will  without  doubt 
be  one  of  the  most  interesting  ever 
given  at  M.  A.  C.  Mr  Riis  is one 
w ho  is spoken  of  as  " T he  Man w ho 
has  done  t h i n g s"  and  judging  from 
the  books  he  has  written,  he  de 
serves  the  name.  H is  one  determi 
nation  in  life  seemed  to  be  to  better 
the  condition  of  living  in  the  tene 
ment  districts  of  N ew  Y o rk  and  he 
has  succeeded.  He  began  this  work 
while  police  teporter  for  the  N ew 
Y o rk  Sun,  ana  in  every  report  not 
only  gave  the  facts  in  the  case,  but 
made  an  appeal  for  the  betterment 
of  conditions  among  the  poor. 
It 
'took  25  years  to  bring  about  the  de 
sired  change,  but  he  accomplished 
his  object. 
" T he 

that  Jacob  A.  Riis 
started  in  to  do 25  years  ago  were 
tenement 
to  tear  down  the  crowded 
houses  of  N ew  York  and  put  in 
flower 
their  place  small  parks  and 
g a r d e n s;  to  see  that  sensible 
tene 
ment  house  laws  were  passed  and 
enforced;  to  do  away  with  police 
station  lodging  houses;  to  see  that 
there  were  enough  public  schools 
for  all  the  children  of  N ew  Y o rk  ; 
to  establish  boys' clubs  and  girls' 
cooking  and  sewing  schools."

gatherings  that 
takes  place  in  the

cessful  and  progressive  farmers  and 
cattlemen  of  America,  and  the  best 
live  stock  that  the  world  is  capable 
of  producing.  Small  wonder

that  it  is  a  great  institution  of  in

Sunday  night,  or  rather  Monday 
morning,  December  3d,  at  12  156, 
twelve  senior  stockmen  boarded  the 
Grand  T r u nk  train  for  Chicago. 
It 
was  a  small  representation  for  the 
College,  much  smaller  than  it should 
have  been,  or  would  have  been  if 
the  agricultural  students  appreciated 
the  value  of  the instruction  obtained 
at  the International.  T he  train  was 
crowded,  and  it  was  rather  hard  to 
sleep comfortably,  especially  as  some 
of  the  fellows  persisted  in  keeping 
everybody  else awake, but we  finally 
arrived  at  the  Dearborn  street  sta

T he  first  place  of  interest  was  a

the  arena  and  seating  capacity  was

T he  cattle  judging  was  very  inter

owned  by  F.  W.  Harding  of  W a u

with  a broad  straight  back  and  good

grand  champion  honors.

collection  of shorthorns  ever  brought 
together  at  any  International,  but  it 
is  the greatest  show  of  Shorthorns 
in  America  or  in  the 
ever  made 
world."  And  as  much  may  be  said 
of  the  other  breeds,  especially 
the 
A n g us  and  Herefords. 

T he  grand  champion  steer  was  a 
a  Hereford  calf,  eleven  months  old 
and  weighing  975  pounds.  All  fat 
stock  show 
records  were  broken 
when  crowning  honors  were  as 
signed  to  a  calf,  but  few  w ho  han 
dled  the  steer  objected  to  the  judges 
decision.  T h e re  have  been  wider 
calves  but  for  perfection  of  outline 
completeness  and  evenness  of  cover 
and  readiness  to the minuet,  Peerless 
Wilton  39ths'  Defender  has  prob 
ably  not  had  an  equal  in  the  history 
of  our  shows. 

T he  grand  champion  carload  lot 
were  A n g us  steers,  fed  and  shown 
by  F u nk  Bros.,  of  Illinois.  T h ey 
were  as  fine  a  bunch  of  steers  as 
any  would  desire  to  see, and 
there 
were  many  other  car  lots  not  far be 
them.  T he  show  was  espe 
hind 

cially  rich  in  A n g us  and  Hereford, 
in  Short 
"but  somewhat  deficient 
horns.

T he  display  of  horses  was  the 
grandest  ever  seen  at  the  Interna 
tional  and  excited  much 
interest. 
T he  showing  of  Belgians  and  Per-
cherons was especially  large, and  the 
Shires  and  Clydes  were  not  far  be 
hind.  T he  Shires  shown  by  K i ng 
E d w a rd  and  Lord  Rothchild  excit 
ed  much  interest,  and  some  of  the 
animals  were  certainly  worthy  of 
high  praise. 

T he  exhibit  of  sheep  and  swine, 
while  not  as  large  as  some  years, 
was  very  good,  and  some  very  ex

T he  Shropshires  were 
especially 
good,  both  in  numbers  and  quality. 
Every  evening  there  was a  special 
entertainment  in the large  Coliseum, 
which  was  practically  a  horse  show. 
Horses  in  harness  were  judged  and 
prize  winning  stock  was  paraded. 
At  this  time  the  famous  six  horse 
draft  teams  are  shown  and  judged. 
T h is  is  the  most  popular  fea'ure  of 
the  International  horse  show,  and  it 
to  see 
is  certainly  a  grand  sight 
those  perfectly  matched 
teams  of 
six  trot  into  the  ring  and go  through 
maneuvers  to  show  them  off  to  best 
advantage. 
In  the  six  horse  class 
A r m o ur  and  C o. won  first  on  their 
team  of  grays. 

T h e re  were  probably  five  hundred

know  that  M.  A.  C.  was at  Chicago 
taking  in the show.  But  considering 
the  short  distance 
to  Chicago  and 
the  size  of  our  college  M.  A.  C. 
was  poorly 
represented.  Ontario 
and  a  small  college  in  Virginia  sent 
as  man}'  representatives  as  we  did 
and  Minnesota  and  Wisconsin  each 
sent  over  a  hundred.  So let's  brace 
up  next  year  and  send  enough  fel

felt  doubly  repaid,  and  no  one  will

ATHLETICS. 

T he  prospects  are  as  bright  for 
basketball  as  they  have  ever  been 
in  previous  years.  Every  one  of 
last  year's  squad  is  back,  and  there 
are  a  large  number  of  new  men  w ho 
are  showing  up  well.  Those  w ho 
played  last  year's  games  are  Capt. 
Krehl,  Westerman,  Hanish,  Mc-
Kenna,  Vondett,  Dickson  and  Gor 
ton.  T he  season  opens  next  Satur 
day  afternoon,  when  H o pe  College 
sends  her  team  here  for  a  game. 
Begin  right  and  see  the  first  one. 
T he  schedule  of  games,  as  arranged 
and  which  will  be  submitted  to  the 
faculty  for  approval  at  its  first  meet 
ing  is  as  follows:

In  connection  with  the two  games 
with  Olivet,  the  management  will, 
if  possible,  arrange  for  track  meets 
as  well. 
this,  on 
either  J a n.  19 or  F e b.  9,  Alma  will 
probably  come  here  for  an  indoor 
track  and  wrestling  meet,  an  event 
which  is  always  looked  forward  to 
with  interest. 

In  addition 

to 

During  the  vacation  the  athletic 
apparatus  has 
been  overhauled, 
cleaned  and  repaired,  the  building 
cleaned  and the  floor  rediagrammed 
for  class  work,  basket  ball,  hand 
ball  and  indoor  base  ball. 
It  is 
planned  to have  inter-class  games  in 
each  of  the  above  sports. 

T he  interclass  schedule  in  basket 
ball  will  be  started  at  once.  Sev 
eral  classes  will  be  organized  for  the 
general  student  body  and  also  one 
for  the  short  course  students. 

At  a  recent  meeting  of  the  Board 
of  Directors  of  the  M.  I. A.  A., sev 
eral  changes  were  suggested  which 
will  probably  be  settled  at  the  next 
meeting.  T he  most  important  per 
haps  is  the  probable  change  in  the 
method  of  deciding  where  the  an 
nual  Field  Meet 
shall  be  held. 
According  to  the  new  arrangement 
each  college  will  be  entitled  to  the 
meet  once  in  six  years  according  to 
alphabetical  arrangement,  the  stipu 
lation  being  a  $100  bonus. 

T he 

indoor  sports,  which  have 
been  a  feature  of  the meet  ever  since 
its  organization,  will  be  cut  out, 
making  it  strictly  a  track  meet,  and 
it  is  probable  that  the  meet  will  be 
held  for  one  day  only,  commencing 
Saturday  morning.  T he  semi-final 
baseball  game  and  tennis  will  be 
held  Friday 
the 
track  meet  and  final  ball  game  on 
Saturday. 

afternoon,  and 

Indoor  work  and  wrestling  are 
not, in  reality,  spring  sports  and  it 
is  as  well  perhaps  that  they  are  to 
be  omitted  from  the field  day  events. 
In  view  of  this  fact  an  endeavor 
will  be  made  to  arrange  for  an  an 
nual  indoor  meet  among  the colleges, 
same  to  be  held  during  the  winter 
term.  Other  colleges  would  be  in 
vited  here  or our  teams  go  to  one of 
the  other  colleges  so  as  to  perpetu 
ate  this  feature  of  athletics.

A M E R I C AN  FEDERATION 
OF  AGRICULTURAL 
STUDENTS. 

Tuesday 

evening,  Dec. 4th  at 
the  Saddle  and  Sirloin  club  of the 
Chicago  Union  Stock  yards  was 
held  the sixth  annual  meeting  of the 
American  Federation  of  Agricult 
ural  students.  T h is  meeting  is held 
each  year  during  the  week  of the 
International  when  a larger  number 
of  students  from,  over  the  country 
are  together  than  at any other  time. 
It  is really  a  national  association  of 
College  F a r m e r s'  clubs  or  some 
similar  association  or  society.  T he 
management  of  the  national  meet 
ing  is  kept  each  year  to  some  one 
college,  and  those  colleges  w ho 
have  never  had  the  management 
draw  lots  for  that  privilege.  This 
year  M. A . C. drew  the lucky  num 
ber  and  the  management  of  the 
next  meeting  falls  to  her. 

to  be  pursued. 

T he  business  meeting  was held at 
six  o'clock  at  which  time  the draw 
ing of lots  took  place, and other  busi 
ness  transacted.  T he welfare  of the 
association  was discussed  and sug 
gestions  made  concerning  the  future 
Following 
policy 
the  business  meeting  was a  banquet 
in  the exchange  building  dining  hall. 
T h e re  were  between  two  hundred 
and  fifty  and three  hundred  students 
present  representing  fourteen  Agri 
cultural  colleges.  H e re  again  M. 
A.  C. was poorly  represented  as we 
had  but  three  delegates  present, b ut 
th's  was due in part  to our not b e i ng 
notified  in time.  While  waiting  for 
the  banquet  different  colleges  gave 
their  yells  and sang  songs, and there 
were  some  excellent  ones  too.  Al 
though  there  were  but  three  mem 
bers  present  from  M.  A. C.  they 
were  right  there  when  it  came  to 
yelling,  and  they  made  some  noise

T he 

successful  management  of 
this  annual  meeting  means  a  good 
deal  to  the  college  that  undertakes 
it,  and  we  hope  that  next  year  all 
into 
agricultural  students  will  enter 
the  spirit  of  the  thing  and  show 
some  of the other  colleges  what  M. 
A.  C. can  do.

this  course,  work

be  in  charge  of  Prof.  H u gh  P. 
B a k e r ' 01  now of  the Iowa  Agricul 
tural  College.

held  at  Ionia  this  winter,  February 
26  to March  1 inclusive.  T he  rate 
secured  is  one  fare  for  the  round 
trip  plus  25  cents,  provided  the 
single  fare  to Ionia  is one dollar  or 
more. 

T he  Forestry  Department  has 
cut  90  cords  of  beech  and  maple 
wood  in the river  woods  preparatory 
to  planting  in  better 
trees  in the 
spring.  Another  cutting  will  be 
made  on the east  end of  N o.  19  and 
same  also  replanted  next  spring. 

H.  N. Hornbeck,  '04, spent  a  day 
or  t wo on the campus  the past  week. 
Mr.  H.  is  still  teaching  chemistry 
and  botany  in  the  Traverse  City 
high  school  and received  this  year a 
substantial  increase  in  salary.  He 
plans  to  return  to  M. A. C. for  his 
M.  S. within  a year  or two. 

F r a nk  N. Smith,  with  '04, called 
on  College  friends  Wednesday  of 
last  week.  M r.  Smith  has  been 
doing  civil  engineering  work  in  the 
Canadian  Northwest,  and  when  at 
M.  A.  C.  was  on  his  w ay  home 
near  Atlanta,  where  he  expects  to 
spend  about  a  month. 

Instructor  Joseph  A.  Poison  of 
the  Mechanical  Department,  and 
Miss  Bessie  Caroline  Lee  were 
united  in marriage  at  the  home  of 
the  bride's  parents,  Milwaukee, 
Wis.,  Wednesday,  Dec. 19.  M r. 
and  M r s. Poison  will  be at  home  at 
1133  Michigan  Ave.,  Lansing,  after 
F e b.  1.  T he  R E C O RD  extends con-, 
gratulations. 

T he  athletic  department  has  been 
busy  during  vacation  making  a skat 
ing  rink.  T he  spot  is on  the  river 
a  short  distance  above  the dam  and 
is  about  100 by  150 feet  in size. 
It 
is  enclosed  on all  sides  and  may  be 
used  both  for polo  and as a  skating 
rink  for  the  whole  student  body. 
This  is  something  which  we  have 
been  anxious to bring  about for  some 
time,  but  on account  of  the ice-cut 
ting  at  this  point  nothing  could  be 
done.  No  ice will  be  taken 
from 
here  this  winter,  so  this  affords  the 
opportunity.
