T he great social event of the year, the event which each class looks forward to in anticipation or back upon with pleasant memories was held by the class of 1910 at the Masonic temple at Lansing, Friday evening, F e b. 12. F r om all sides comes the state ment that in elegance of appoint ment, completeness of detail, the exactness and harmony with which the schedule was carried out and in genuine pleasure, the last must be acknowledged the acme of excel lence ever attained in a J hop at M. A. C. the the temple six-course at 4 o'clock afternoon, and an T he guests, including an unusual number from out of town, gathered at in informal the reception was held until 5 o'clock, when banquet was served by the ladies of the Church of O ur F a t h er in the ban quet rooms. T he dining hall was simply but artistically decorated with red and white bunting, palms and potted plants. T he guests were seated at fourteen rectangular tables and the speakers were scattered in various places the hall. President T. A. J o r d an was toast- master and the following were g i v e n: " T he Tribe of J u- dah," M r. G. A. Barcroft; "Book of P s a l m s ," M r. R o b e rt P.

George Johnson. through toasts Dancing began at 9 o'clock and continued until 2 : 3c T he hall was a bower of bunting, greenery, and picturesque decorations rarely ever equalled in elaborations and' beauty. the arch of the stage were Over electric in various colors, which' spelled " M. A. C ." and the class T h e se lights were used the special dances when all other lights were turned out. "1910." in numerals, lights T he balcony was divided into twelve booths, where pillows, col lege pennants, and easy chairs made very inviting resting places for the dancers during intermissions. At the west end, a red lighthouse stood and near it, a spot light which was thrown during many of the special dances. Punch was served from a prettily decorated alcove the southwest corner of the hall. in T he grand march which was written for the occasion by Charles Drew, '10, was led by President T. A. Jordan, Miss Hazel Beard, '08, Miss Esmie Allen, Vice President and M r. H o w a rd Walker, with '10. At the end the seventy-three couples formed tha number 10. Several special dances were a feature of the evening, Finzel's or chestra having a variety of charm ing diversions. During one num ber, Finze's T o y s, a number of air ships were drawn across the room on invisible wires and when over turtle spilling t h e. dancers their contents of the couples beneath. T he Message of the R o s e, also a feature dance was especially well received as well as several songs by M r.

Vedder, Prof, and M r s. W. B. Barrows, and Dean Maud Gil christ. T he usual depredations at the rooms of the pleasure enjoying Juniors were carried on, but most were wise enough to spend the re mainder of the night elsewhere and returned to put their rooms in order at a more convenient season later in the day. Barring a futile and almost crim inal attempt to derail the returning special cars by some person or per sons either ignorant of the possible consequences or possessed with a perverted sense of decency and the value of human lives, the party was without incident to mar its success. S T A TE C O N V E N T I ON NAMES CANDIDATES. of board At the republican state conven tion at Grand Rapids last Friday W. H. Wallace, of Saginaw, and I. . R. W a t e r b u r y, Highland, were nominated for members of state the of agriculture for six years. A. J. Doherty, of Clare, and R. D. Graham, of Grand Rapids, for four years and W. L. Carpenter, of Detroit, and VV. J. Oberdorffer, of Stephenson, for two years. W i th the exception of M r. Carpenter the nominees are all members of the present board. T he necessity of electing an en tire new board this spring is brought about by the provisions of the new the board constitution. Formerly was appointed by the governor and originally consisted of six members. Later, in order that the upper pen insula might be represented, a sev enth member was added. T he new constitution provides for but six members without stipulating as to location. Aaron P. Bliss, of Saginaw, whose term expired this year, and T h o m as F. Marston, of Bay City, whose term under the old regime would have expired in 1911, were not candidates for renomination. If the candidates nominated are elected at the spring election the alumni will be represented by one member, W. L. Carpenter '75. C. J. Monroe, ' 6 1, and W. K. Prudden, '78, were also candidates for nomination. LINCOLN CENTENARY. Lincoln Day was celebrated at the college F e b. 12 by a half holi day, and by memorial exercises at the armory, which were exception ally well attended by both college and community. Congressman Duncan McKinlay, of California, formerly a resident of Michigan, was the orator of the day, and spoke upon the life, char acter, and public service of the first martyred president. J u d ge Montgomery, of Lansing, who was to speak on the subject, "Lincoln and the Soldier," was un able to be present, but D r. Beal gave a few reminiscences of the time and incidents concerning the assassination. At that time he was a student at Harvard, as was also Robt. Lincoln, son of the president. He also mentioned a few facts con cerning the life and works of Chas. Darwin, whose birth was contem poraneous with Lincoln. R e v. F. W. Corbett of the East Lansing church delivered the invo cation and pronounced the benedic tion, and the music which consisted of patriotic songs was led by the M. A. C. chorus. T he services were called for one o'clock in order that Congressman McKinlay might reach Grand R a p ids in time to address the Lincoln club at the banquet that evening.

C. Alumni Association was held at the Lake side restaurant, corner of Clark and Adams evening, street, Saturday J a n. 30. T he weather was exceed for the event, a ingly unpropitious blinding snow storm raged all day, greatly interfering with travel on both steam and electric cars. D r. Beal had been to represent the college, and though he left Lansing early in the day, it was late in the afternoon before the train reached Valparaiso,Ind. He realized it would be to reach Chicago in time for the banquet, and decided to return home by the first train, reaching Lansing late the following day. His not being able to be present was a disappointment to the older graduates, w ho had looked forward with some pleasure to renewing acquaintances with their old teacher. impossible In spite of the inclement weather over eighty persons, all of whom were directly or indirectly interested in the college, were determined to aid in making the event worthy of the occasion.

T 16, 1909 A few of the graduating classes An Oppor- t u n i ty of M. A. C. have sought to perpet uate their memory by erecting on the campus a more or less lasting memorial. among Conspicuous these are the large en graved stone at the grove of ever greens north of Williams Hall, erected by the class of '73, the foun the greenhouse in front of tain , and the erected by the class of drinking fountain erected by the closs of '00. These not only serve to beautify the campus, but assist in the college atmosphere, to making remind students of the present that others, now busily engaged in the various walks of life have trod the same paths, sat in the same class the college look upon rooms and with pride, intensified by years of experience and reflection. T h e re is a limit, however, to the number of such memorials that may be placed about the campus without marring the effect. T HE R E C O RD has recently been made aware of the fact that one or • two and perhaps more are consid ering the question of a similar mem orial, and in this connection wishes to suggest a plan which has also t h r o u gh been called to its attention its adoption by several classes in other colleges and universities, viz. : the establishing of scholarships or a fund for needy students. T he college already has a small but inadequate fund of this kind. After the burning of "Old W e l l s" four years ago a fund of several hundred dollars was raised partly by private subscription, and in a large part by a vote of the members of the book buying association to turn over the profits of that organization, which had been accumulating for several years, for the purpose of extending relief to those needy students who were burned out. T h is money was loaned, not given, the student pay ing it back as soon as possible with interest. Since time 52 stu dents have availed themselves of the privilege of this fund, and the many letters of appreciation received show h ow keenly the assistance has been appreciated. that But as above mentioned, the fund is inadequate* Students at the col lege are, as a rule, students of lim ited means. T he reputation of the college has been made by alumni, T he M. A. C. RECORD. SOPHOMORES WIN TRACK MEET. STUDENT ELECTION. many of whom if not compelled to drop out for one or more years to earn money to continue their col lege course, have been men of small means. One of the great sources of pride of the .institution is that it has been the making of the poor boy, and in our present period of pros perity we must not forget that along this line lies a great opportunity. A ny assistance then that may be given to a needy and deserving student can but enhance the reputa tion of institution which has made it possible for a large class of very limited means to secure a col lege education. the In some Another feature which is being appreciative the worked out by alumni of some the institutions is founding of a hospital fund for the relief of poor students falling ill or who meet with accidents while in college. Under the M. A. C. Hos pital system, expenses are these very low yet often a few weeks ill ness means the loss of a year's work to a student w ho must pay his own expenses. institutions these funds are loaned the same as out of the regular relief In others, the fund is in the form of an endowment the interest of which is used in assisting to pay the hos pital expenses. In either case T HE R E C O RD believes that in some such way the memory of a class may be than more permanently conserved by any possible monument which might be erected and at the same time many worthy students might be assisted w ho will look back with reverence to the class whose gener osity assisted him in completing his college course. fund to 3 8 ^.

Marshall delivered an address on the relation of the agri investigators. culturist to scientific the fact T he speaker emphasized that since every individual has a limited sphere it should be our aim to w o rk together. As in medicine many practitioners have refused to accept the results of research, so it is in the agricultural world that nu merous farmers will not consider recent advancement. W h e t h er the farmer is a scientist depends in a measure upon our definition of science. Huxley's masterful defini that science is nothing more tion than common the application of sense to every day routine undoubt edly includes the farmer within its scope. a that Having shown farmer should fay all means consider him self a scientist and work accordingly. Dr. Marshall defined the classes of farmers as we today. Disregarding the careless, shiftless class we find three types. them find 1. A rt farmers, or those who bor row successful methods without re gard to principles. 2. Scientific those w ho have a grasp of underlying principles and make them a basis of their operations. farmers, or 3. Theoretical farmers, or those who disregard every day practice and seek to attain satisfactory re sults through experiments. Our attitude should be to encour age careful and thoughtful labor. investigators w ho In closing D r. Marshall said that certainly as much credit is due the laid the early basis for the applied science of the present time as to the better k n o wn scientists of later times. DEFEATED BY DETROIT "Y."
