On Saturday of this week a team of debaters of the first rank will ac company the Ypsilanti baseball team here, and in the evening will debate in the eighth annual debate with the M. A.

W a l k e r , ' 1 1, E. A. Close, '13, and R. W. Powell, '11, as alternate, were chosen to represent M. A. C, and they will discuss the negative side of the question. These annual frays with the Normalites are always very in teresting, and no little enthusiasm shown, for and college spirit is large Ypsilanti usually brings a delegation of rooters along. Four out of the seven past debates have gone to M. A.

T he seventh annual May Festival has now been added to the list of successful events recorded in the history of the college. Although our previous festivals have been de cidedly meritorious, the concerts on Friday afternoon and evening in the pavilion of the Agricultural Build ing completely surpassed all former efforts, and the skill with which the different choral numbers were pro duced and the increased interest on the part of the audience indicated very plainly that the musical ability and appreciation of the institution have advanced, even since last year, in long strides. At 2 :30 the soloists of the even ing gave a concert, assisted by the M. A. C. chorus under the direction of M r. Earl G. Killeen. T he con cert was opened with Gounod's beautiful "Unfold, Ye P o r t a l s" by the chorus. M r. J o hn B. Miller, tenor, and Miss Jessie L y n de H o p kins, contralto, each appeared twice, to encores. responded and both T h ey also sang a duet from " S a m son and Delilah" by Saint Saens. M r. William Howland, baritone, gave a group of s o n g s — " H o, Jolly to the Jenkins," Sullivan; " D o wn Crystal Streamlet" and " Le Rossig- nol," and " D a n ny Deever," by Damrosch. He re ceived a burst of hearty applause and responded to an encore. M r s. Sibyl Sammis McDermid was evi dently the favorite of the afternoon. familiar the ft H er rich mezzo soprano voice filled the auditorium with perfect ease, and she sang h er t wo numbers, " D o wn in the F o r e s t" by Ronald, and " My Love is like a Red, R ed R o s e ." H er pleasing personality and the beauty and sympathy of her voice won h er many admirers. T he production of the five acts of Faust in the evening, by the chorus, assisted by the soloists, was an honor to the institution and to M r. Killeen, to whom the credit of train It would ing the voices is clue. seem almost impossible that such a large number of unprofessional singers, most of them inexperienced, could be brought to such a degree of efficiency in so short a time, as was shown in some of the more difficult numbers, and M r. Killeen had every right to be justly proud of the result of his long and hard for labors. T he college is indeed tunate in being able the secure the services of so competent a director, and it is hoped that we will be able to retain him in the future. T he airs from Faust are charm ing under any circumstances, but the rendition Friday night, of both the solos and choruses, was very satisfying and greatly appreciated by the unusually enthusiastic audi ence. T h is is the first time that an opera has been produced at the col lege music festival instead of an oratorio, and it was evident that the lighter, more popular music was better enjoyed by the general public. the choral numbers, which were all excellent, one, perhaps, was worthy of especial mention—"The the Old Men's S o n g ." A m o ng others, two of the best were the "Bijou S o n g ," by Margarita, and the quartet "Lean on My A r m ," by Margarita, Martha, Faust, and Mephisto. Of T he parts were taken as follows : Margarita, Sybil Sammis McDer mid ; Siebel and Martha, Jessie Lynde H o p k i n s; Faust, J o hn B. Miller; Mephistopholes, William A. Howland ; Valentine, M r. Sam uel R. Hamilton ; Wagner, E d w a rd Reed. T he last t wo young men were from Lansing, and assisted very ably. T he accompanists were Miss E d na Hopson, of East Lansing, and M r s. Minnie Davis Sherrill, of A nn Arbor. M r s. Sherrill took part in the same capacity here last year. IDLER P A R T Y. One of the pleasantest parties of the year w as given by the Idlers' Club at the W o m e n 's building last Friday evening. T he members of the club served a buffet supper, after which everyone adjourned to the parlors and enjoyed a kaffee klatsch. Many had friends here to attend the M ay Festival concert, and a number of Lansing people were guests. T he entertainment something of an innovation, was and proved Very successful. M r. and M r s. Earle G. Killeen were special guests on this occasion. T he student gardens are looking fine in spite of the various frosts. A L U M NI ARTHUR C. BIRD, ' S 3. It is with sincere regret that the R E C O RD announces the death on May 27th of A r t h ur Cranson Bird, one of the strongest, brightest, and most viril men among the alumni of Michigan Agricultural College. Born in the town of Highland, Oakland county, May 22, 1S64, and the son of a farmer, M r. Bird g r ew up in the healthful atmosphere of that country life, which has given vigor and independence of thought and action to so many of our men of affairs. At the age of 16 he en tered M. A. C. and graduated in 18S3. F or a number of years after graduation he was engaged in farm ing in his native county, during which period he became one 'of the founders and the first president of the State Association of F a r m e r s' Clubs, and in this way was brought into closer touch with the political affairs of the state. In 1897 Governor Pingree ap pointed M r. Bird to membership on the State Board of Agriculture, and in 1899 ne became its secretary and secretary of the college, a position that he held until J u n e, 1902, when he resigned to give his entire atten tion to business, for which he had a most marked genius. T wo years later, however, Gov ernor W a r n e r, friend of his boy hood days and ever after, appointed him supervisor of the state census, a position for which his executive talent admirably fitted h i m; and the next year he became, by ap pointment of the governor, state dairy and food commissioner, which office he held at the time of his death. It is given to few men to have a keener insight into business prob lems or greater genius, within the field of his opportunities, for rapid and with un accomplishment; bounded faith in the possibilities of Lansing as a business center, he threw himself with all his vigor and untiring energy into the problem of t h o u gh her snatched from the very midst of his labors, had already done much to upbuilding, and, vindicate his faith and foundation of a fortune. laid the His clean habits of life and his firm will enabled him to resist to the that last degree the malady proved fatal, and that took from his tender wife and two sons a most and zealous guardian. To these the heartfelt sympathy of this com munity goes out in unstinted meas ure in their hour of bereavement. Many there are who will miss the support of his strong arm and wise counsel in the midst of trouble and the scene of his labors and successes will mark the passing of a great A. M. B. captain.
