T he parade formed soon after one o'clock in front of the Agricultural Build ing, and, leaving the campus at the north entrance, marched west along the main road, returning by the river drive.

A number of clubs and societies were represented by decorated floats, Independ ents presenting the Might-a-Been- Her. T he foresters traveled in the usual covered wagon, with pack mules behind, and were bound for the great western country. T he Hort.

T he Garten School, M i g h t a - B e n - H ur and the minstrels all drew good crowds and many at tended both afternoon and evening performances. T he Cosmopolitan exhibit fur nished an instructive as well as an interesting attraction. T he various foreign trophies, sample copies of some ten or fifteen foreign news papers, and passports from various countries, formed an exhibit which was certainly worth while. popularity lunch counters, candy stands, etc., can best be understood by noting that there was very little left for sale during the evening performance. It was thought that an abundant supply of good things to eat had been prepared but the stock was exhausted at a very early'fiour.

MORRILL CENTENARY. BENEFACTOR OF EDUCATION. On April 14, in all parts of the country, especially in the schools of agriculture and the mechanics arts, the centenary of the birth of Senator Justin Smith Morrill of Vermont, will be celebrated. supplementary Senator Morrill was the author of the original land grant act of 1862 and of legislation through which appropriations are made by which at the present time no less than 67 educational institu tions are assisted. During the last few months frequent mention has been made in the District of the Morrill land acts in connection with the campaign waged to procure an to be administered appropriation through George Washington Uni versity. Senator Morrill has a claim on the gratitude of all W a s h- ingtonians conspicuous for his services as chairman of the commit tee on public buildings, in which capacity he did a large w o rk in beautifying the capital. In addition to the above, Senator Morrill was a prime mover in the completion of the W a s h i n g t on mon ument, and is known as the F a t h er of the Congressional Library, on account of his contribution in the erection of the great building for the Library of Congress. Senator Morrill was born in Straf ford, V t ., April 14, 1810. He re ceived only meager advantages of education, and engaged in mercan tile pursuits and in farming. Until he was 44 years old he had neither sought office nor held any public position other justice of the than town, 8 miles peace in his home from a railroad. W i t h o ut solicita T he M. A. C.

A. C. in thfeir silvi- cultural course which is being given this that will result in their securing some very practical knowl edge and experience in silvicultural practices and principles. Each of the 24 junior foresters will be given thirty a plot of ground, four by feet in dimensions, situated in the forest nursery south of the Cedar river. T h e se beds will be prepared entirely by the students, w ho will make thorough notes on their work from completion. Fourteen different species of coni fers will be planted in these seed beds. T he work as outlined con sists of laying off the beds, estimat ing the number of seeds planted, a report of all conditions anent the planting, a complete count of the germinated seeds every two w e e k s, and exhaustive seedling study to ward the end of the term. Con beginning to siderable time will also be devoted to silvicultural studies in the woods, in which assessments of forest soils will be made and a study of the nat ural silvicultural conditions as they exist there. A L U M N I. '03- In a recent number of N ew E n g land Homestead, Editor, G. C. Sev- ey has an interesting article on " T he Greater N ew England Re vival." M r. Sevey urges bigger • profits and better methods in farm ing with advanced land values, and states that with educational advan tages and n ew schemes introduced this can be brought about. Speak ing on the now interesting topic of co-operation he says : " O ne of the n ew problems of the new agriculture is to shorten the distance between the producer and the consumer. " O ur system of doing business is the most extravagant of civilized nations. Middlemen drive over the same routes, delivering small orders of groceries or provisions to suit the whims of the consumer. Milk men chase each other about our cit ies in endless procession. " T h at is one reason w hy consum ers pay 9 cents for milk which the producer sells for 4 cents; w hy meats sell for 15 to 40 cents, for which the farmer receives 4 to 10 cents; w hy eggs go into cold stor age at 16 cents and go out at 40 cents. "Associated effort and better or ganization, backed by sympathetic action on the part of consumers and producers, will help the situation materially. T h e se are matters of a new agriculture and are of material significance to N ew England." '07. Daniel H. Ellis, '07, and Miss Ada C. Hoag were married March 28.
