GERMAN OR HISTORY. T he choice between German and history which must soon be made sophomore engi by freshman and neering students who expect to re turn to the college for the winter term prompts the writer to offer a few suggestions the choice. concerning T he same period. T he course in German will cover five in terms' work. T he course history is really a course in history and political science and will cover option the now offered in the junior year be tween German or political science and electrical engineering will prob ably be discontinued so that whether German or history be chosen now, the subject five elected will be required. T he time allotted is sufficient to give to the student a thorough and compre hensive course, and either subject will entail hard work on the part of the student. terms' work in T he choice between the two lines of study may be determined by the character of the previous training of the student, by the individual taste of relative the student, or by the value of the subjects to an engineer ing student. T he first two consid erations can usually be weighed by the student himself. A natural liking for language work, including English, or previous high school to German. incline training, may An interest in industrial affairs, or civic problems, or business phases of life, or a fondness for history or classics per se, may make a course in history and political science at tractive. To the student whose ante college training has been deficient in quality or obtained with the sole ob ject of pissing his entrance exami nations, the large vision of his life- work has not yet been vouchsafed, and he cannot weigh the considera tions just now presented. To him, and also to him who having weighed them is still in doubt, the last con sideration, the utility of German vs. history and political science to the engineer, must he the deciding fac tor in the choice between the two subjects. of T he writer feels that of almost equal importance to the engineer as his purely technical training are abil ity to write and speak English cor rectly, confidently and with ease. that Experience has demonstrated lan the careful study of a foreign the guage is a very great aid in mastery tongue. the Furthermore such study may unlock stores of useful or t e c h n i c al sealed and knowledge otherwise will certainly broaden the mind by giving it some familiarity with mas ter minds of other lands in the field of literature, science or art, all of which attainments are not to be de spised but rather to be coveted by the engineer. native the problems of Of equal importance to the engin eer is the ability to observe and un derstand the great movements of the world in the fields of politics, civic improvement and other social problems, commerce and industrial progress and to contribute as he may to the solution of what may be called the day. This ability can be best exercised if based on a knowledge of history and of the underlying principles of econ this basis and his omics. W i th training which grounds technical teaches him in physics, and which think him to observe correctly and to directly, the engineer is destined is be a very useful citizen, which really more than being merely a good engineer. important be T he writer may perhaps charged with not having so far ad in duced overwhelming arguments favor of either study so far as util is ity is concerned. T he well the founded. He would, if available time in a four-year engi require neering course permitted, both lines of work of all engineer ing students. charge In conclusion a special considera tion may affect the decision of the student, e. g., expectation of supple menting his course at this college by advanced work at another insti tution where German is required for a degree, or expectation of do ing scientific work for the govern ment, in university or college teach ing or abroad, etc. German would be the natural choice in such cases. G. W. B I S S K L L. M. A. C STUDENTS VISIT THE INTERNATIONAL LIVE STOCK SHOW. On Monday and Tuesday, Dec. 2nd and 3rd, about forty students and several members of the faculty visited the International Live Stock Exposition, held at the Union Stock Y a r d s, Chicago. T he exposition this year was by far the largest and best of any yet held. Those who the attended had the privilege of seeing the greatest thing of the kind in the world. total Estimates put value of all entries of live stock at $7,000,000. In some of the cattle classes over thirty individuals, all of types, met in them nearly perfect competition for prizes. T he stu dent had an excellent opportunity to see these placed by the best judges in the land ; there is no other place in America where so many excellent types of animals are gath ered together and consequently no place in which a student can learn so much in so short a time. T he in class horses shown singly and were A particularly number of coach horses belonging to the E m p e r or of Germany were exhibited. A well trained troop of rough riders from one of the west ern states gave exhibitions of some of the most daring feats of horse manship each day, illustrating well the efficient training of Uncle Sam's soldiers. T he attendance eclipsed records; over 70,000 all previous people a day passed the turnstiles and over 300,000 people from outside of Chicago visited the exposition. attractive. through Four auction sales of pure-bred cattle and the same number of sheep sales were held at the time of the exposition, at which the boys could look in and see how it was done. T he boys visited the Live Stock Exchange, the various departments of the stock yards, and at least one of the packing plants. U n d er the guidance of Dr. H u r t, who is famil iar with the details of packing house work the boys got an insight into many things the public cannot see, nor have explained to them. T he banquet of the American Federation of Agricultural College Students was held Tuesday evening in the dining room of the Exchange Building. T he banquet this year was in charge of the M. A. C.boys, and they deserve sepecial mention for the creditable m a n n tr in which all details were carried out, so that there was not a single hitch any where. T he boys apparently had a good time, but their stay was altogether too short to get the most good out of the exposition. It is to be hoped that a larger number will take ad vantage of such opportunities next year. SOCIETY OFFICERS. U N I ON L I T E R A RY S O C I E T Y. President, C. B. Norton. Vice Pres., C. J.
