T he St mi-Centennial of the Col It was a lege has come and gone. most notable event and was cele brated in a dignified and proper manner. T he College has received many congratulations from promi successful nent people upon way in which the whole celebration was carried o u t; but it has a far broader significance the mere celebration of the event. T h e re perhaps has never been held in this educators country a meeting of than the which would equal in all respects the company which gathered at the College on this occasion. It has demonstrated the ability of the " new education" to standalone, and it will give farmers and the other industrial classes greater pride in their callings and far greater confi dence in" their own peculiar institu In the future no one familiar tions. with the work of the Agricultural and mechanical colleges will offer apologies for their existence. T h ey represent a disfinct type of educa tion which has earned a place equal in rank to the old established classi cal and literary courses. This jubi lee is really the first time that it has been given this recognition. T he celebration would have been a great event without the presence of President Roosevelt. T he large number of representat ve educators from all parts of the country and from foregin countries was a great compliment to this institution and to the work it has accomplished during the past fifty years. To be honored wuh a visit, from llie pi esideiii 0/ the United Stites on the occasion is, of course, an exceptional honor and institu greatly appreciated. T h is W i th this state. tion understands that this compli ment extends far beyond the con fines of It is a distinct recognition of the great work ac complished by the land grant col leges in the various states. increased encouragement and pride, this college turns its face toward the coming h df century and renews again its pledge of faithful ness to the interests of the industrial for whose uplift classes brought into ex stence an well being it shall cemtinu advance. try to A. A. A. C. & E. S. to the presidency of T he election of President J. L. Snyder the American Association of Agricul tural Colleges and Experiment Sta long and tions is a recognition of very helpful service on the executive committee of that association. Pres ident Snyder was elected to the execu tive committee in W a s h i n g t on some five years ago. He has served on the committee by virtue of annual elec tion thereto since that time. This committee has had a large number of hard problems to solve and many delicate situations to handle. T he relation of the Department of Agri culture to the separate stations has the been considered on the part of station by this committee and the the committee has been work of most satisfactory and has brought about signal results. T h is committee has represented the association at Washington in various relations with the general It has required more government. than ordinary skid and wisdom to so handle the college matters before congress and the department as to bring good and no evil from events that were transpiring at the capitol. After five years of strvice on this committee, President Snyder has been advanced to the highest office in the gift of the association. This is a compliment paid to but few ed ucators. His immediate predeces sor has been Prof. L. H. Bailey, of directors, including Cornell. Preceding him have been distinguished college presidents and such station men as President Buckham, of Ver m o n t; Dean Henry, of Wisconsin; Pres:dent Harris, then . of M a i n e; Director Voorhees, of N ew Jersey, and others. T he Michigan college has cause for just right in the ad vancement of her president to this noteworthy position. THE AGRICULTURAL COURSES. While the world stands at one side for the man that knows where he is going, it extends the glad hand to the man who knows how to do things when he gets there. Competition is bound to be very keen in the future whether these times continue or not. The man who is best fitted for his work will get the best work to do and with the best work the highest remuneration, not alone in money but in breadth of life and in the pleasure of doing good things well. It sometimes appears that the college course is over valued in the world. What our four and rive year courses do is to concen trate into a few years the experiences of a lifetime. These courses are broad taking in the experience of humanity in language, in the sciences and in the special lines of work which any student may elect. the humanities, in In English the student is habituated to the correct use of his mother tongue, is trained to write and speak correctly and is trained moreover to think so cor rectly ar/d cogently as to be able to In mathematics he is speak clearly. trained in algebra, geometry, trigonom etry and surveying, getting a broad foundation for the lines of work which come later in the course. The value of this mathematical training cannot be over-estimated in this day of mechanics and machinery. Among the sciences none come first and none last. They are all of importance. fundamental Chemistry has to deal with the make up and constituents of feed stuffs and fertilizers. It has also to do with the arts of manufacture and a host of grad uates of our college have been led off into lines of chemical manufacture by the excellent drill given at M. A. C. in qualitative and quantitative work. Botany has to do with nature's method- of converting the elements of the soil and air into organized forms. Here a thorough drill is given in systematic botany, in plant physiology and in the botany of fungi and plant diseases gen erally. Bacteriology is relatively a modern science. It explains phenomena which were not understood before its birth. M. A. C. has the best equipped and largest bacteriological laboratory in the Middle West. To these laboratories, properly prepared students are welcomed and given a training in the fundamentals of bacteriological science. Geology and general biology are both offered in the regular course in agriculture. Entomol ogy has to do with the insects that either harm or help humanity. This new department lays special stress upon economic insects and the regular stu to recognize their dents are trained friends or foes. With minds thus equipped by a study of the sciences, the young men approach the technical subjects of dairy, fruit raising, stock feeding and judging, and forestry. Since these technical studies are built upon a broad foundation the graduate is well balanced and can give the reason for his methods. He is a broad man and bound to be a useful citizen. Every man who has regard for his future, who looks forward to the time when he will be competing with his fellowmen for the best opportuni ties, will take a college course if an op portunity offers itself. FORESTRY. The forestry department was estab lished by the State Board in lSiO'3 since which time the forestry course has been in operation and has made rapid and substantial progress. It is one of the four four year c'ourses otfered by the college and has enjoyed popularity from its beginning. The opportunities for the study of forestry here are exceptionally good for there are several plantations of forest trees that have bee'n established under forest conditions at various times during the past 80 years. These plantations speak for themselves and demonstrate beyond question what these trees will do under like conditions. The laboratory of this department covers .175 acres of the Collegp farm devoted exclusively to the use of this department. There are three woodlots in which different methods of treatment are demonstrated. In these pieces of timber the student has actuar practice the growth of trees, in determining making valuation surveys, thinning of timber and other features of forestry work such as the recognition of species, habits, habitats and so forth. There are five acres devoted to a forest nursery where thousands of coniferous and de ciduous seedlings are grown every year. The student becomes experienced in the different phases and methods of nursery practice. Plants of suitable size are allowed each student for his personal use. The student learns how to collect and store forest tree seeds and makes and stores cuttings of trees that are^ best propagated in that manner. Sufficient practice is given with the camera and in the dark room to enable the student to make photographs suitable for the forestry work. The illustration of student has enough practice with the transit that he is able to locate boundar ies, determine grades and perform the (Continued on page 2.) THE M. A. C. RECORD.

Topo graphic d r a w i ng is a valuable feature of the work as it enables the student to p ut upon paper a suitable m ap of h is field determinations. Every s t u d e nt candidate for a degree chooses a subject for special investiga tion on which a thesis is prepared a nd placed on file in the department. The instruction is given by lectures, laborator3* a nd field work, bulletins, re ports, c u r r e nt literature, a nd text books. An interesting and proper feature of t he work is a trip t h at is t a k en by t he combined j u n i or and senior classes each a l t e r n a te year. The trip covers nearly 500 miles, a nd visits are made to fores furniture a nd other t ry plantations, wood-working factories, alcohol plants, iron smelting works where charcoal is used, lumber a nd logging camps, pulp a nd paper mills, a nd other.places of in terest to foresters. The graduates of this d e p a r t m e nt have e n t e r ed into forestry work before or soon after graduation. The opportunities for e n g a g e m e nt in forestry pursuits seem to be on t he increase. The field for pri vate work is always open a nd some of t he g r a d u a t es h a ve engaged in it. Oth ers are employed by private parties or companies. The United States Forest Service m ay appoint such m en as pass t he examination. W h e t h er or not a m an should s t u dy forestry depends upon the man. If he is sure he would like t he work, a nd is will ing to m a ke t he necessary preparation there are as good chances for success in this as in other similar occupations. '04: A. 13.

EDUCATION FOR WOMEN. refined women were Recent years have witnessed a very marked change in education for women. Heretofore that education has been al most entirely a book training; a study about things but not of things. Highly intelligent the products of such education. A feeling, however, has prevailed for some years that young women ought to receive training in subjects that pertain to the home with the result that today the ideal education of women may be said to consist of a combination of the two ideas—the old cultural training and the more recent practical training. In response 60 this new conception of what constitutes the best education for women the Michigan Agricultural Col lege has made ample provision for the training of young women in the way of a separate women's department. The state provides a commodious dormitory where the young women live under the direction of an experienced lady dean. Board is had in this same building in a club at a reasonable price determined by the actual cost of the food and its preparation. Every effort is made to render this life home-like and attractive for the young women. One of the val uable features of this student life is the maintenance of a very strong Young Women's Christian Association. The courses of instruction pertain, especially to matters of home-making and keeping. A liberal amount of Modern Language, English, and History is included as a means of general cul ture, while the balance of the instruc tion is devoted to courses in Domestic Science and Domestic Art, together with those sciences such as chemistry, bacteriology, etc., whose subject mat ter pertains to the work in Domestic Science, thus affording a sound scien tific foundation for such instruction. thorough Instruction in Domestic Science com training in general prises cookery, the preparation of food for the sick together with instruction and ex perience in serving meals. For render ing all work of this nature practical, fully equipped laboratories are provided where the student has the opportunity not only to observe the demonstration work of the instructor but also to partici pate in the preparation of simple dishes supervision. instructor's under the tsachen This work is rriTrhi.-'fed bv framed in the beat wJentih' schools otf totalled account .aienais composing ordinary food, and the relative food value of these various ingredients according to the latest scientific knowledge. The cooking of vegetables and cereals, the preparation of meats, salads, puddings; in fact the preparation of all the neces sities of the modern American table, receive due attention. Not the least important is the course of lectures given upon household econ omy, which deals with subject-matter of vital concern to every home. Con sideration is given to the matter of econ omical ingredients of foods together with economical methods in the prepa ration of food. The necessities and re sources, not of the wealthy family, butof the moderately to do houses in which economy is of vital importance, are con sidered. In addition this course deals with the subject of marketing and the judicious purchase of supplies for the household. It may be of interest to state here that each senior entertains guests at a dinner prepared by herself, including the marketing, cooking and serving, the financial outlay for which must not exceed twenty-five cents per plate. Another course of instruction is that given by a lady physician is that per taining to emergencies and home nurs ing. The young women are taught what to do in case of accidents before the services of a physician can be se cured, as well as the methods of caring for the sick in the home. Closely allied to these subjects is the matter of home sanitation. Detailed directions are given as to the establishment and main tenance of sanitary conditions in and about the home. The Domestic Art department offers courses in all phases of needlework. Beginning with sewing in its simplest form, the pupil is given a course of training leading to the more difficult uses of the needle in home decoration and the preparation of wearing apparel. For illustration it may be stated that the junior women are required to have com pleted a dress, including the draughting, cutting, fitting and making of the same! Excellent opportunity is provided in the advanced work to do finer needlework (Continued on page 4.) THE M. A. C. RECORD. TABLE SHOWING POINT WINNERS.

The reader is referred to our catalog which may be had upon application to President J. L. Snyder. ENGINEERING. There never was a great er demand for lines trained along engineering m en t h an at present. This demaad is in creasing every year. Tilis is the indus trial age. Discoveries, nventions a nd new methods of doing work are m a k i ng possible fe.ats of engineering which have hitherto been impossible. These Anew lines of work call for trained m e n - m en who have pursued t h en mgh engineering courses in our technical institutions. Iron a nd cement are taking t he place of brick and wood. Our streams are being harnessed and made to contribute power for the r u n n i ng of the m a n u f a c t u r i ng industries in our great cities. The kind of m en needed to take charge of all these great enterprises are men who can think a nd who are also skillful w i th their hands. So that an engineering edu cation, in order to fit one to participate in these onward movements, must be intensely practical. The engineering work at t he Michigan Agricultural Col lege calls for a great deal of mechanical t r a i n i ng and a great deal of shop work. This College has/always h ad a reputa tion of sending out men with practical t r a i n i n g — m en who could do things. E n t r a n ce requirements for t he four- year course are practically t he same as those in force in all our large institu tions. There is a five-year course in engi neering for young men who have not had t he advantages of full high school courses b ut who a re of m a t u re age a nd of earn est purpose. This gives an opportunity to a n u m b er of young m en w ho other wise would not find it possible to com plete a good engineering course. All engineering students pursue t he same course d u r i ng t he first two years. During t he j u n i or and senior years they are permitted to specialize in electrical, engineering a nd also in some lines of civil or mechanical engineering; or, t h ey may t a ke p a rt of each course, t h us securing practical t r a i n i ng in both - mechanical a nd electrical engineering work. An electrical engineer should know considerable about mechanical engineering, a nd t he mechanical engi neer should also have quite thorough t r a i n i ng in electrical engineering. T he civil engineer finds it very convenient also to know something about both me chanical a nd electrical engineering. By this combination this college is able to give to students practical training those lines of work which will along m a ke t h em valuable m en after leaving college. industrial Our graduates are sought for by t he great institutions of t he country. The}" receive rapid advance m e nt because they are trained along t he lines which m a ke t h em particularly helpful to their employers. Beginning with t he fall of 1907, t he college will use t he n ew Engineering building which h as been p ut up at a cost of over one h u n d r ed thousand dol lars. This building contains forty-three large laboratories a nd recitation rooms in addition to offices, store rooms, e t c. It is one of t he finest buildings in this country devoted to engineering work and will make t he facilities for teach ing electrical, mechanical a nd civil engineering first class in every particu lar. The^former mechanical building will be used exclusively for shop work. All t he d e p a r t m e n ts of engineering work are in charge of m en thoroughly trained and also of practical experience. We have as teachers of engineering graduates of Cornell, Wisconsin Univer sity, I n s t i t u te of Technology, P u r d ue University, The University of Michigan, University of Illinois, a nd other insti tutions of t he very first rank. The expenses at -this institution a re very much less t h an in any other insti t u t i on of this country of similar rank. f r om '94- C a p t. R. S.
