response 
to  your  request  for  a  few  words  as 
to  the plans  and  projects  of  the ad 
visory  council  of  the  Alumni  Asso 
ciation  it  gives  me  pleasure  to  fur

an  account  of  what  has  been  done

the  present  council,  which 
very  little  indeed,  also  of  what  we 
hope  to  help  to bring  to pass,  which 
is  quite  an  ambitious  program. 

T he  present  council  wishes  to 
express  its  appreciation  of the  work 
done  by  the  first  council  of  the as 
sociation  under  Chairman  R ay 
Stannard  Baker.  We have  carefully 
reviewed  their  records  and will  be 
greatly  aided  by  their  painstaking 
w o r k.  We  wish,  also,  to  acknowl 
ideas 
edge  the  very  many  helpful 
gained  at  a  meeting,  of  a  very  in 
formal  nature,  held  at  the  "Shore-

ing  the  session  of  the  American 
Association of Agricultural  Colleges

As  to  what  has  been  done.  A 
meeting  was  held  at  the  Downey,

the  council. 
It  was  the  unanimous 
opinion  of  the  council  that  it  was 
not  expedient  for them  to  undertake 
the  work  of  influencing  the  electors 
in  the  matter  of  the  selection  of the 
two  members  of  the  State  Board  of 
Agriculture  who  are  to  be  nomi

P r e s.  Collingwood  was  requested, 
by  vote  of  the council,  to  appoint  a 
special  committee 
for  this  work. 
T he  idea  prevailed  at  this  meeting 
that  the  alumni  were  not  " k e e p i ng 
u p"  at the college—were  not  doing 
as  much  to  keep  in  touch  with  the 
college  as  they  should,  and  that  the 
college  could  do  more  to  keep  in 
line  with  the  alumni  than  it  is,  to 
our  mutual  advantage.  We  feel  a 
lack  of  tradition  and  the  following 
ideas  were  formulated 
to  remedy 
this  defect,  in  a  measure  at  least:

more  strongly  to the  alumni  by  hav

frequent 
articles  by  old  college 
men  as to  phases  of  their  work, and 
by  a vigorous  campaign  on  the  cir 
culation  question,  so  that  the  R E C 
ORD  shall  be in  the hands  of  every 
alumnus.

T he  question of  filling  the vacancy 
caused  by  the  resignation  of  M r. 
Brewer  has  finally  been  settled  by 
the  election  of  Prof.  H u go  Bezdek, 
of  Arkansas.  M r.  Bezdek  was 
born  in  Austria  about  30 years ago.

During  his  university  course  M r. 
Bezdek  was  very  prominent

in  base  ball,  playing  second  base

Dear  Sir : — If  this  reaches  you in 
time  for  Alumni  number,  please  to 
give  the  " o ld  t i m e r s"  my  kindest 
regards  and  Christmas  greetings. 
I  am  well  and  happy,  and  hope  this 
will  find  them  all  the  same. 

I  have  not  seen  an  M.  A.  C. man 
since  '97, when  I  was  at  the  college 
the  last  time. 

I  still  live  in  hopes  that  I  may 
get  back,  sometime,  to  the old  place 
where  I  spent  four  happy  years, 
and  which  H e n ry  H a i gh  (the  only 
one  of  our  class  that  was  at  our  last 
Alumni  meeting,)  says  " is  now  the 
most  beautiful  spot  in this  country." 
I  am  living  in  the  beautiful  Blue 
River  valley  not  far  from  Manhat 
tan  where  Prof.  Geo. Fairchild,  of 
blessed  memory  to  all  the  old  stu 
dents, did  his great  life  work  in lay 
ing  the  foundation  for  the  largest 
institution  of  its  kind  in  this  coun

that  all

THE  CHEMICAL  LABORA 
TORY—A  RETROSPECT. 

T he  R E C O RD  editor  has  asked 
me  to give  a historical  sketch  of the 
chemical  laboratory  building. 

This  structure  is the  only  visible 
monument  now  standing  on  the 
campus  commemorative  of  the  w o rk 
of  my father,  Dr. Kedzie.  A  more 
enduring  monument  is the  one  not 
.made  by hands  which  many  of  the 
old  students  • of  . M.  A.  C.  carry 
with  them. 

Auc.  25, 1869, a  resolution  -was 

the  funds 

passed  by the  state  board  of  agri 
culture  authorizing  the setting  aside 
of  $3,000  from 
slowly 
coming  in  from  the  sale  of  state 
swamp  lands  for the  building  of  a 
new  chemical  laboratory.  At  this 
same  meeting  $650,  an 
immense 
amount  for  those  days,  was  placed 
in  D r. Kedzie's  control  for the  pur 
chase  of  a spectroscope  and  a  large 
induction  coil,  together  with  other 
electrical  apparatus. 
same 
spectroscope  and  induction  coil  were 
used  during  the  ter.m 
just  closed 
-with  my  freshmen  class.  At  this 
meeting  P r e s.  Abbot  and D r.  Ked 
zie  were  appointed  as  a  committee 
to visit the  best  chemical  laboratories 
to  be found  in  the U. S. and  present 
plans  and  estimates  for  the  new 
chemical  laboratory  to the  board of 
agriculture.  At  a  meeting  of  the 
board  held  J a n. 11, 1S71,  estimates

for  the current  expenses  of  the col

$6,000  to  pay  for  back

ness  already  incurred  by the college 
and  $10,000  for  the  n ew  chemical

W h en  it came  to drafting  the  bills

T h e re  was  considerable  difference 
of  opinion  regarding  the proper  lo 
cation  of  the  building.  My  father 
desired  that  it  should  stand  directly 
west  of  College  Hall,  quite  close  to 
the  edge  of  the ravine,  but this w as 
not  agreed  upon,  and J u d ge  Wells 
of  the board  decided  the  matter  by 
digging  his  heel  in the ground  at a

point  where  the northeast  corner of 
the  building  now stands.  E d w a r ds 
&  Cooper,  a firm  of  architects  and 
builders  from  Ypsilanti,  secured  the 
the  substantial 
contract  and  built 
structure  which  has  served  so  long 
as a place  for youthful  investigation. 
T he  sewers  and drains of  the build 
ing  were  put  in  by D r. Miles  with 
labor—the  mem 
the  aid of  student 
bers  of  the class  of  1871 being  the 
students  w ho did  the  most  of  the 
work  under  the  direct  supervision 
of  E d w a rd  M. Shelton  of that  class, 
and  to the credit  of  those  men  be it 
said  that  in  the  forty  years  occu 
pancy  of  the building  no  drain  has 
ever  had to be dug  up. 

As  manj-  of you know  and  many 
perhaps  have  been  told  the  north 
portion  of  t h e ' l o w er  floor  of  old 
College  Hall  was  devoted  to the 
chemical  laboratory  from  the open 
ing  of 
the  college.  T he  room, 
which  was spacious,  was lighted  by 
but  " t w o"  windows — one  on  the 
east  and  one  on  the  west.  T h is 
lack  of  light,  and the serious  results 
coming 
from  it  were  the  reasons 
w hy  when  it  came  to the designing 
of  the new laboratory  my father  in 
sisted  that  the  laboratory  work  ta 
bles  should  be  so  placed  as  to  be 
exactly  where 
light  from  the win 
dow  should  shine  upon  the  table, 
and  nothing  could  possibly  interfere 
with  students  always  having  plenty 
of  light  in  carrying  on  their  exper 
iments.  T he  laboratory  tables  were 
made  at Jackson  by  convict  labor— 
portions  of  these  tables  are  still  in 
use  in the lower  south  laboratories. 
T he  picture  here  given  is 
taken 
from  the northwest,  and  shows  the 
original 
front  and  the  long  wing 
containing  the student  laboratory  in 
the  rear. 

T he  building  was  completed and 
ready  for occupancy  in Sept. of 1871. 
T he  first  class  to do laboratory  w o rk 
in  the building  was  the  class of 1873, 
the 
same  .class  which  left  us the 
large  rock  by the  evergreens  as a 
memorial  of  their

loyalty. 

At  the time  of the  completion  of 
this  new  chemical  laboratory,  M. A. 
this 
C.  was  able  to  say 
building  they  had  one of  the  finest, 
if  not the  finest,  chemical  laboratory 
connected  with  any  institution  in 

that 

in 

the  W e s t. 
It was  ranked  as  being 
a  more  complete  and  better  arranged 
building  than  even  the laboratory in 
connection  with 
the  University  of 
Michigan. 

T h e re  were  many 

laughable 
blunders  made  in  connection  with 
this  building  and one  was in  relation 
to  the  heating  of  the  building. 
Steam  w as  carried  under  ground 
through  a  t wo  inch  pipe  280  feet 
from  Williams  Hall  and passed  into 
a  coil  containing  500  feet  of  pipe 
placed  in the basement  of the  build 
ing  over  which  fresh  air  was  ad 
mitted  and  which  was to  heat  the 
entire  building.  W h en  you  realize 
that  no provision  was  made  for the 
drawing  off and  return  of  the  con 
densation  water  of  this  coil  except 
at  intervals  of  four  or  five  hours  at 
which  time  someone  of  the  labora 
tory  force  had  to  go down  into the 
basement,  open  a  valve  and  allow 
the  condensation  water  to  run  into 
the  sewer  you can  imagine  that the 
heating  plans  did not w o rk  out suc 
cessfully,  but  this  experiment  will 
represent  to you what  was  definitely-
known  regarding  heating  by  steam 
from  a  central  plant  at that  time. 

To  meet 

the  demands  of  the 
growth  of the  college  it  became  nec 
essary  in  1882 to make  an  addition 
to  the building  on the  south  which 
is  now  the part  in which  the  larger 
lecture  room  is  located.  T he  plans 
for  this  portion  of the  building  were 
drawn  by the  late  Professor  W. S. 
Holdsworth  of  the class  of  1878. 

During  the  term  just  closed 504 
lectures  and did 
students  attended 
laboratory  work  in 
this  building. 
Y e a rs  ago  it  was  known  as  the 
chemical  fort  and  it  has  withstood 
the  assaults  of  numerous  youthful 
assailants,  but when  the  army  gets 
to  the size  noted  above,  further  for 
tifications  must  be  thrown  u p- so vou 
will  not  be  surprised  to  learn  that 
plans  are n ow under  way  for an ad 
dition  to  the building  providing  for 
a  larger  lecture  room  and  increased 
laboratory  space.

THE  ADVISORY  COUNCIL.

2nd.  We would  like  to  have  al 
umni  headquarters  at  the  college 
grounds,  where  we  would 
feel  at 
home,  and  someone in charge.  T h is 
person  would  be in %L  good  position 
to  collect  valuable 
items  for  the 
R E C O R D.  He  could,  it  may  be,  act 
in  a  combined  capacity  of  R E C O RD 
editor,  alumni  secretary,  and,  pos 
sibly, shoulder  other  responsibilities. 
A  general  discussion  of  the  col 
lege  followed  and a  general  feeling 
of  a lack  of  knowledge of w h at  was 
being  done 
there  w as  expressed. 
W i th  a  view  of  making  a  start  at 
getting  acquainted  again  the  coun 
cil  adjourned  to  meet  at  the  presi 
dent's  office  the next  morning,  Dec. 
7th. 

A  cordial  reception  was  given the 
members  present  at  the  office  of 
President  Snyder  and  also  by  Deans 
Shaw  and Bissell,  to w h om  we  paid 
our  respects.  Editor  Faunce 
told 
us  of this  special  alumni  number of 
the  R E C O R D,  w h i ch  w as  being  ar 
ranged  for, and we wish  to  disclaim 
any  credit  for  its  appearance. 
It 
simply  shows  that  great  minds, etc. 
However,  what  a  fine  time  it  will 
be  to make  this  number  the  begin 
ning  of  more  alumni  matter  in 
the  R E C O R D. 

Other  matters  were  gone  over 
and  pledges  of mutual  support, made. 
It  was  very  delicately  suggested  to 
P r e s.  Snyder 
that  it w as  the habit 
of  thought  of the committee  that an 
invitation 
to  the  alumni  to  come 
back  to  one of M. A. C.'s big games 
would  meet  with  wide  spread  ap 
proval  and  general  acceptance, and 
would  be a  fine  time  to generate en 
thusiasm  and  build  "tradition." 

T he  council  feels 

that  it  has a 
valuable  field  of  labor  if it can  have 
wisdom  to  work  it  properly.  As 
an  intermediary  between  the  alumni 
and  the  state  board  of  agriculture 
having  the  view  point  of the  former 
interests  in  concord  with  the 
and 
latter,  it would  seem 
that  it  would 
prove  of  value. 

Brother  Alumnus  we  ask  for 
advice  and  suggestions  from you, 
and  as our  work  develops  you will 
be  kept  informed  of  our  progress.

all  w ho  know  him as a  man of  the

THE NEW OUTLOOK IN 
AGRICULTURE. 

T h e re  is a feeling  of optimism all 
regard  to the 
over  the  land  with 
outlook  for  agriculture. 
It is  diffi 
cult  to induce  graduates  from  agri 
cultural  colleges  to  enter 
research 
and  teaching  fields,  because  of  the 
splendid  opportunities  as  independ 
ent  farmers,  or managers  of  farms, 
the  college 
now  opening  before 
rewards  of 
man.  T he 
financial 
farming  are  greater 
those 
than 
offered  by the colleges  and  experi 
ment  stations.  T h is  was  not true 
a  few years  ago, and is an  indication 
of  a profound  change  in  our  eco 
nomic  life. 

To  my  mind,  however,  the op 
portunities  for  social  service  in  the 
farm  communities  are  even  more 
than  the  chances  for  a 
significant 
profitable  business.  T he 
financial 
success  that  may be achieved  by an 
agricultural 
graduate  in 
college 
practical  farming  is without  doubt 
a  matter  of supreme 
interest  to  the 
man,  but the  opportunities  for lead 
ership 
life 
ought  to be even  more 

in  better  community 

inspiring. 

T h e re  never  wa£  a  time  when 
the  college  man had such  a  chance 
to  help  build  up  the  rural  commu 
nity  as he has  today.  T h e re  is  more 
interest  in  the  community  life  ; the 
rural  agencies  of  community  build 
ing  were  never  so  alive;  the  need 
leadership  was  never 
of  far-seeing 
so  great:  Furthermore 
there  are 
new  professions  arising  which  are 
offering  men opportunities  for de 
voting  themselves  entirelv  to  some 
form  of  social  service  in the  coun 
try  community.  T he  agricultural 
high  school  calls  for a man  w ho not 
only  can  teach  agriculture,  but w ho 
can- be  a  professional  community 
leader.  We are  demanding  a  pro 
fession  of  country  clergymen,  and 
the  man  in  this  profession  must 
understand  the rural  problem.  T he 
rural  work  of  the  Y o u ng  Men's 
Christian  Association 
calls  for 
men  of  executive  ability,  w ho  are 
trained 
colleges. 
T he  great  country  life  movement, 
which  is setting  in so  strongly,  de 
mands  abundant  local  leadership  of 
all  kinds  and descriptions,  as  well 
as  the  leadership  of  men  w ho  plan 
for  a  state-wide  and  nation-wide

FOOT  BALL  SUMMARY, 
1910. 

recognized 

M.  A. C.'s 1.910  foot  "ball  season 
will  long  be remembered  for  many 
reasons.  First,  the  team  was the 
strongest  that  ever  represented the 
institution;  second,  there  w as the 
most  splendid  enthusiasm  and  sup 
port  given  the team,  not only  at  the 
college  but by  Lansing  and  through 
out  Michigan;  third,  the  M. A. C. 
team  as  a  team  and as  individuals 
were 
throughout  the 
west  as among  the strongest  aggre 
gations 
the  west  has  produced. 
Starting  the  season  with  but  five 
regulars,  and  meeting  Michigan the 
third  week  of  work,  the  team  met 
its  only  defeat  by the  close  score of 
6  to 3.  M. A. C. in this  game  out 
played  Michigan,  scored  a  goal 
from  the  field—the  first  score  ever 
made  against  Michigan—scored  a 
touchdown  which  was  not  allowed, 
and  allowed  Michigan  to score  only 
after  a desperate  fight  after  a  pen 
alty  had taken  the ball  to  the  yard

their  strength,  the team  then  made 
splendid  progress  until  it  reached 
its  height  of  development  about 
Nov.  1, defeating  Notre  Dame  for 
the  first 
time  cleanly  17 to o, and 
Marquette  University  in  a  desper 
ate  battle  3 to 2.  T he  team  closed 
the  season  with  a  brilliant  victory 
over  Olivet,  62 to  o. 
To  M.  A.  C.'s 

line 
should  go  the  lion's  share  of the 
credit.  Aggressive  pulling  together 
in  splendid  team  work,  they  formed 
a  defense  no team  could  break  down, 
and  a protection  for the  backs 
that 
made  ground  gaining  easy.  T he 
veterans  of  the line —Stone,  Camp 
bell,  and Pattison—  played  splendid 
ball 
throughout,  while  too  much 
credit  cannot  be given  McWilliams, 
Leonardson,  Baldwin,  Culver,  and 
Montford  for their  great  work  dur 
ing  this  first  year.

FUTURE 

IMPROVEMENTS. 

T he  alumni  of the college  are,  no 
doubt,  anxious  to  know  the  next 
move  contemplated  by the  State 
Board  of Agriculture  with  reference 
to  college  impro\ements.  Of  course 
the  future  development  of  the  col 
lege  is in the hands  of  the  legisla 
ture. 
It  is  the  purpose  of  the 
Board,  however,  to ask the  legisla 
ture  for  a  large  central  building, 
which  will  be adequate  for  library 
and  auditorium  purposes.

T he  Board  has provided  for reci

LETTERS  OF  GILBERT 
LITTLE  STARK. 

We  have  recently  placed  in  the 
library  a  little  book  which  we  are 
sure  will  prove  of  interest  and  profit, 
as  well  as  pleasure,  to  all  w ho  may 
read  it. 

We  refer  to  the  volume  of  "  Let 
ters  of  Gilbert  Little  Stark."  M r. 
Stark  was  a  native  of  M i c h i g a n; 
after  graduating  with  honors  from 
Yale  University,  he  sailed  in  com 
pany  w i th  a  party  of  classmates, 
for  a  trip  around  the  world.  T he 
letters  cover  a  period  from  J u l y, 
1907,  to  March  12,  1908, are  dated 
from  various  places  in Japan,  China, 
Canton,  Burma  and  India,  and  are

M r.  G.  M.  Stark,  of  Saginaw, 
through  whose  courtesy  (in  response 
to  our  request),  we  have  the  pleas

DETROIT  BANQUET. 

Practically  all  the  Detroit  mem

from  Lansing,  turned  out  for  the 
football  banquet  held  in  the  Hotel 
Charlevoix,  Monday  evening.  T he 
main  topic  of  interest  was  the  prop 
osition  to  establish  a  club  room  for 
the  Detroit  Alumni.  Although  the 
plan  has  often  been  suggested,  it 
has  never  been  presented  for  gen

such  a shower  of  good  men to be a 
power  in the agricultural  world.  It 
lies  a little  off  the  beaten 
track  of 
travel  and  so  I  had  never  before 
been  there.  On the w ay out in the 
street  car  that  connects  the 
little 
agricultural  college  with  the  world 
a  bright-faced  lad  sat  opposite  me 
in  the  car.  Presently  he  asked  :

President  J.  L.  Snyder  led  me 
over  the very  beautiful  grounds and 
talked  to me of  the past  and of  the 
future.  He pointed  out  the  extent 
of  the  great  and  fertile  farm,  out 
lined  by rows of  fine  aspiring  young 
white  pines  and 
told  me  of  the 
work  of  Prof.  Beal,  n ow  retired, 
who 
largely  was  responsible  for 
planting  the  trees  of  the  campus. 
T h en  we  talked  of  country  pe~ople 
and  of  country  boys  and  girls. 
I 
can  not  quote  him  exactly,  but  in 
substance  he  said:  " T h is  is an ex

interesting  work,  M r. 
W i n g.  Michigan  homes  are  usually 
homes  of  intelligence,  morality  and 
a  degree  of  culture.  T he  young 
people  who  come  here  are  easily 
led,  are  not  riotous  nor  immoral. 
T h ey  have  a good  deal  of  purpose 
in  life,  too,  and  rather  high 
ideals. 
I  hope  we lift  their  ideals yet higher 
while  they  are here  and as far as we 
can  we try to send  them  back  to the 
farm. 
It  depresses  me,  though,  to 
remember  the  thousands  of  young 
folks  whose  parents  do  not  know 
how  to live,  w ho see in  life  nothing 
but  chance  for  work  and  money-

T he  first  regular  meeting  of  the 
Penman  Club  was  surely  a  success 
and  promises  good  things  for the 
future. 

Dinner  was  served  in  Club E, and 
eleven  members  did  ample  justice 
to  the bountiful  repast. 
Following 
the  dinner  Toastmaster  Goodell 
spoke  of  the  organization  of  the 
club,  its  purpose  and  plans.  M r. 
Lindemann  responded  to a  toast on 
" O ur  P o e t s ,"  and  urged  that  we  be 
come  better  acquainted  with 
the 
work  of  same.  Riley,  W h i t m a n, 
Dunbar  and  many  others  received 
mention,  and  lines  from  each  were 
given.  M r.  V e r ne  Branch  spoke 
on  the  ways  in  which  newspaper 
work  was  or might  be made  of value 
in  connection  with  student  life. 

Instructor  P e n ny  told  of  the ad 
vantages  and  disadvantages  of the 
reporter  on  a  big  newspaper  and 
also  related  some  of  his  own per 
sonal  experiences in connection  with 
newspaper  work. 

Dr.  Blaisdell  closed  the  program 
with  a  talk  in which  he  outlined  a 
policy  for such  an organization and 
offered  many  good  suggestions  for 
the  carrying  out of the same. 

T he  meeting  was a pleasant  and 
profitable  one,  and it is hoped  and 
that  it is  only  the  begin 
expected 
ning  of  a  work  which  will  riot  only 
the  members  but  that  this 
benefit 
benefit  will  be  evident 
in  pen 
productions.
