College Spirit vantages No one w ho is entering college this year doubts the feasibility of the steps. T he ad- attained from higher educa tion, are strikingly apparent in every circle of life. But here is no place to moralize. T h o se of us who are here for the first time have come from a more or less responsible field of labor. A radical change has taken place in, our environment and we are plastic in the hands of it- Here, we are beginning to recreate. A certain amount of freedom ami restrictions arc being felt and' we shall act ac cordingly as thev increase or dim inish. Today we lav the corner • stone for the foundation of all that mav come hereafter, and we are not experienced masons in the art. We do not comprehend the various vicissitudes that have in store. O ur shoulders are not burdened with responsibilities and it is well not to be too serious about these things at present. It mav be well to allow such words as vicissitudes, burdens and responsi bilities lost from our vocabulary for a period of time. life ami age mav to become But pause here ; it is not well to too freely. Freedom of interpret interpretation is the trap that des tiny sets. Never mind that. " T he questions with every student today are : H ow shall I determine the im things? And with portance of what actions shall 1 betray mv atti tude of their importance: In other words how shall I show college spirit: Particular emphasis on the word college. In consideration of the outcome of four vear- constant effort on our part, the mo-t optomistio conclusion bells us that results are only prob able. How much of that which we may learn here arid will he remem bered after the examination may be hound in one small volume. T he pleasant associations frith the mem bers of the faculty and classmates are sure some day to be merely one of many chapters of more or less pleasant memories. J in- campus slang and freakish cap and panta loons will some dav he lost in the language of a hurrying business world and the sober dress of shops and mills anil we shall conclude that the results to be attained were too highly exaggerated in our dreams. T h e re now, my man, don't c r y! O ur days may be what we make them and the heights of Sinai climbed. But college is not so much a place to learn facts, anyway, as it is for one to learn how to adapt •one's self to his surroundings. And that is what education It is largely in the spirit. is. It is hardly a fact worthy of men tion that the Michigan Agricultural institution of College is the oldest T he Mi A. C. RECORD. i its kind in America, nor is it worth while to say that the campus of this renowned institution is considered by experts in landscaping to be the most beautiful in the United States. Neither is it important to mention the magnitude and equipment of a school in which the special theme lies somewhere in the realms of progress. But in entering the heart lines of of a subject, for certain which a particular institution stands, one cannot help b ut note the unique character of some of its peculiarities. If Michigan is the first state in the Union to establish this sort of education it is just and right to call her the foster parent of industrial and agricultural education. And so we may drop Michigan out of the subject by the unfaltering determi nation to engrandeur her name with a greater stride toward the goal of perfecting dear old M. A. C. than has ever been accomplished during a previous year. need a Martian system of canals the specialists and utilitarians will be onto the job. T h is little article is written merely to think about. The Late Charles McDiarmid. T he late Charles McDiarmid was born in Elgin county, Ontario, Can ada, in 1850, and was 58 years old when he died. He received a good education in the Canadian schools, and w h en 17 years old removed with his parents to Manistee county, Michigan in 1S67. F r om 18S0 to 18S4 he took a full four years' course in the Agricult ural College of Michigan. After graduating he was offered a posi tion in the college, but declined it. In the spring of 1892 he came to H e m et with his mother, sister, brother and uncle. T he Michigan Agricultural Col lege establishes a certain relation between each of us and the outside world. Exactly what that relation is depends upon what the outside world will be when we meet it. But there are some general state ments that will hold good in a ma jority of cases. In order for a man to he of effec tive service to any community he must be educated. B ut the term education has been varying in" its application so incessantly that it h as to be redefined a: the beginning of each year. Today education means simply being onto one's job. It is the training of heart and hand as well as deepening some of the fis sures in a certain area of gray mat ter. T he term education takes hap piness also into its scope. No tiulv euucafeif able, and in order for a man to be Happiest he must have things under the proper focus. T h is latter thing is certainly the aim of all great at tempts. In business it is called sys In science tem. In art it is beauty. In life it is love. it is application. Etc., etc. than "Cam bc'Vrhofty ni'rWJf*" that In looking back over the history of the nation we find wild lands, and waste countrv. But as we read over the recent issues of the daily papers we are confronted with as tonishing statements that there are so many people living in a certain tenement; during a recent financial stringency so much gold bullion was carried away in the pockets of so many aliens; that a man by the name of Patten made a fortune in a certain way and that a large factory once very prosperous in a great city has lately moved to a smaller town on account of cheaper help. In view of these things we not only sec that education may be a beautiful thing, but that it is nec essary as well. It is an old-timesaying that there is plenty of room at the top of the bidder. Well, although this is true, we will have to revert to the new definition. A man may be onto his job any w h e r e, even at. the bottom. This brings to mind another old- time distinction that must some day lose its lines. And that is the dif ference between income, salary and wages. In preparation for future exigen cies we must not forget that this is the twentieth century. T he north pole has been discovered. Special ization is the motto of the masses; utilization the motto of the classes, and when the earth some day shall Until the day of his death he was a successful landowner and farmer, thoroughly capable and educated for his chosen profession In Canada his uncle was postmaster of lived and the Charles McDiarmid was his assist ant. town where he in life.

He was one of the leaders in the Socialist party and labored for the cause with his whole heart and soul. He never wearied of spreading the gospel of good-will toward men. T he great aim of his life was to im prove social conditions and to make the common people happy and pros perous.
