A FTER  le;JrIliug  about  all  the 

good  things  to  be  had  3t  M.

we do  lIot  bel ieve 
:U1y  former  stu 
dent  will  decide  to  stay  away jf it is 
. possible  to  get  here.  Just remem· 
ber thatJunc  :l'5th especially is  your 
day,  that  everything  possible  is  be 
ing donc  at  this  end  of  the  line  to 
make  the  Triennial  a  sUCcess,  and 
th:1t  to  make  it  a  success  we  need 
your  presence.  Remember, 
too, 
thllt  the  welcome  will  be  just  as 
cordial  whether you  were  able  to 
complete  the  cou rse  and  get you r 
degree, or  whether  you  were  here 
for only a short time.  This  is  to be 
a  reunion  of  loyal  ~L A.  C.  men 
and  women, and  110  distinction 
is 
made  between  "grllduatc  and  old 
student." 

As  will  be  noted  by  the  yarious 
:lrlicles in  this  week's  issue  there is 
to  be something doing e\"ery  minute 
from  c.~p  night,  on  June  19th,  to 
the closing :d umni  ball, on  lhe ~5th.

which  tillle  166  young  men  and 
women  recei\-e  the  degree of  B.  S., 
and  some  36  others  nre  scheduled 
for ad vanced degrees. 

The  class  day  e1O:ercises  occur 011

program  on  Thursday, 
the  25th, 
will,  of  course, be  the  center  of  in 
terest  for  t he ..  boys  and  girls" who 
are bac k. 

The  band of  50  pieces  will  fur

ball  game  is  scheduled  between  the 
\-a rs ityand  :t  team  of nine  men  who

spec.ial  o(:casion- whal a  jolly. good 
place  thnt  will  be,  with  the  various 
classes vieiug wi th  each other in  the 
),ells and  songs, and  all  sitting dOWIl 
together  to  enjoy  the "love  [e;lst." 
The class  reunions  also  promise to 
pili)'  an  important  part  in  the  pro 
gram, as  noted  l>y  the  acti,-ities  of 
"arious  mcmbers. 

. Aud, through  it  all,  we shall  fi nd

just to  vis.it. 

Re lld  what  Judge  Charles  B. 
Collingwood, presidell t  of  the asso 
ciation,  h:ls  to  S:I)";  "The commit · 
tees  have  all  been  hard  at  work  :lIld 
are getting  excellent  results .  The 
entertainment this  yea r  promises to 
be the  best ever  offered  at any  t ri 
ennial,  both  in  regard  to  quantity 
and  quality." 

POSED  BY  THE  ALUMNI 
ORGANIZATION. 

A  brief little  prescll!ation of some 
alumni  organization  impro"ements 
which were  sent  out  from  this  place 
as  au  inclosure  with  tbe  reunion  in 
vitations  are  now  doubtless  ill  the 
hands of cve ry reader of this  paper. 
Explanations  may  therefore  prop· 
erly  be  made,  which  will  justify the 
adoption  of  these  chllnges,  also  a 
hurried  attempt is  made  in  this  di· 
rection  by  the  few  words which  fol· 
lows: 

Ko  one  of  the  suggestions  re 
ferred  to  hns  proven  to  be  so  :Ip_ 
provable  generally  as  is 
the  one 
with  regard  to  a  perm:Ulent  alumni 
secretary. 
I'll ere  are  many  things 
which  an  official  of  this sort  nlight 
accomplish.  Some  of  these  have 
already  been  described,  so  that  all 
are  familiar  with 
re 
mains  only  to  be  said  with  re 
gard  to  this  personage  th at  nearly 
all  colleges  and  universities  now 
have onc, and  they  apparentl}"  have 
dcmonSlrated  their  serviceableness 
.and  merit. 

them. 

It 

No orgauiz ation  change, so  far  as 
these  proposliis  are  concerned , ex 
ceeds  in  significance  the  one  which 
has to  do  with  relating  in  some vital 
way  the  local  alumni  associations 
and  that of  the  parent organb:~~tion. 
!::iince  Olle  of  the  local  associations 
(namely,  that  of  Chicago)  has  aI 
read), !;lke!) theinitiativein this mat 
ter, and  has sum moned a  representa 
tive  from  each  of  the  local  alumni 
associatiollS  to  meet  at  the  coHege 
for  a  confcrencc  11pon  co mmence 
ment dar o f this yenr, this  matter of 
effecting closer  relations  will  doubt 
less  be  weI!  cared  for_ 
:\fo  movement 

among'  alumni 
bodies in  recent years has  been  more 
pronounced or  allended  with  betier 
results than that of having a  reunion 
of  the  form e r  studcnts  take  place

The  M.  A .  C .  RECO RD . 

.At  the  last  BUIlual  meeting  of 
the  Chicago  "\ssoeiation,  J olm 
Willard  Boltt',  'OJ,  was  appointed 
to  tak('  steps  toward  the  forma

from  each  of  the  yarious  local  )OL 
A .  C.  alumni  associations  DOW  in 
existence  or  which  are 
to  be 
form ed  in  The  future. 

Th('  gweral  object  of 

this 
Board  is  to  get  the  alumui  asso 
ciations  in  closer  touch  with  each 
other  and  with  the  College.  The 
fun ctions  of  the  noarri ,  as  t enta 
tin'ly  oullincd  by  the Chicago  As 
sociation.  IIrc  liS  follows: 

1.  To  seeUl'C  larger atten dance 
a t  the  College  th rou~h the  efforts 
of  the  alumni,  2.  To  S('cur e  po 
sitions  fo r  the  graduat(>s  o[  the 
Cullege. 
3.  To  bring  pressure 
t o  hear on  tll{'  h·gisluhlre  in  favor 
of  the  College. 
.l,  To  look  nItcr 
t1w  interests  of  the  f1inmni  ill  tbe 
admilli~tralion  of 
the  College, 
courses  offered,  etc.  5.  To  se 
cure  represcutation  of  the  inter· 
ests  of  t 11('  alumni  in  the  manllge· 
ment  aud  eontral  of  athletics  on 
a  plan  simil al'  to  that  so  sueeess· 
full}'  followed  b)'  the  Uni\'ersity 
of :Michigan  and  n  numher of  oth·

this  lJ(lu l'~l  IllI  integral  lM!·t  of  the 
alumni  nssoeill tion  of  the  College, 
and  it is  the  belief  of  those  inter· 
ested  that  by  the  c rea ti on  or snch

to  c rv stal ize  allli  organize  the  ef 
fort s' and  opin ion s  of  the  alumni. 
1t  is  also  contend ed  that  such  a 
hOllrl)  would  be  truly  represent a·

the  fllct  that  members  of  snch  a

For se"e ral  ~'ears therc has  bePD 
an  agitation  at  the  University  of 
;xebraska  to  obtain  morc  extend , 
cd  grounds  for  thc  campus.  Two 
propositions  have  been  put  for 
ward.  One,  to  buy  sever31  blocks 
ndjaecnt  to  thc  pl'escnt  campus. 
widell  is nCfl r  the heart of thc city; 
fin d  the  othcl'  t.o  mo\'e  t he  whole 
instituti on  to  the University  farm . 
320  acres  ill  extent.  lying  at  the 
edgc  of  thc  city,  about  two  a nd 
oue,half  miles  from 
the  pl'esent 
campus. 

Jt  is  point ed  out  Ihat  t he  sec· 
01111 
the 
scheme  would  en able 
Uni\'ersity  to  be  ent irely  united 
again.  The  ~eh{lol  of Agriculture 
has  been  fit  thc  farm  for a  Dumber 
of  ~'ea rs.  w it h  buildings  the  e'luat 
to  and  better  in  man."  eases,  thall 
those  on  the  main  eampus.  T he 
Experiment Station  is  also located 
at  the  farm. 

The  opposition  to  this  scheme 
has l;lrgel."  come  fl'om  the  citi:!:ens 
(If  Li ncoln.  who  feel  that propert." 
\'alues  will  he  depreciated  in  the 
vicinity  of  the  preJrent  site  of  the 
Uni\'e l'sit),  ~hould the  latter  he  reo 
mMe<i  to  the  fflrm  site.

not hing was  donc  exccpt  to  appro

This  year 

the  matter  was 
hl'Ought  up  llgain  and  in  spite  or 
the ullanimo\ts  recommendation  of 
the  Rege nt s thaUhe 'Gniversity be 
remo\'ed  to  the  fnrm,  the  H ouse 
"ol ed  to  buy  land  adjacent  to  the

two  houses  agreed  to  a  bill  sub· 
mitting  th('  10eRtion  to  a  popular

The  M .  A.  C.  RECORD. 

HORT. CLUB. 

considered 

Those present:lt  the  meeting of 
last  \\' eduesday 
the  Hort.  Club 
c\'ening 
themselves 
fortunat.:  ill  being  at  one  01  the 
most enjoyable sessiolls of  this year. 
Deparwre was  mnde  from  the  pro 
gram of  horticultural  subjects, and 
I~rof.  Kedzic  held  the  interest  of 
the club while  speaking on the topic 
of  "Reminiscences,"  Mr.  Kedzie 
is  in  a  position  to  t;llk  011  that sub 
ject, as  he  has  a  very  intimate  and 
wide  knowledge  of  the  history  of 
:-'1.  A.  C.  He  also  has  the  fa culty 
of  hting  able  to  recall  those  incio 
clems  which  gi\'c  one  a  glimpse of 
those uhappcnings"  Ibnl  'we  hear of 
only  by  rumor,  yet  which  arc  the 
olles  full  of  iutcrCiit. 

Prof.  Kedzic  took  liS  b;lCk  to  the 
time  when  his  father  clime  to  M. 
A.  C.,  bringing  with  him 
three 
sons,  one  of  the  three  being  the 
speaker. 
~Ir.  Ked zie's  f:llher  was 
one  of  the  Hrst  class  10  graduate 
from the  medical college:1I  the  Uni 
versity of  ~I ichiglm. 
lIe  gave  up 
a  good  pr:tctice  in  IlIL-dicine  to  take 
up  the  chair  of  chemistry  at  this 
college. 

This  was  the  way  most  of  the 
carly  faculty  was obt:lined-gather 
ing together the  men  who  had  gone 
oul  into  the ..... orld and demonstrated 
their  value.  That this  h:lS  meant a 
great deal  to  the  spirit of 11.  A. C. 
is  a  fact  worthy of  note. 

IIorticultu re  was  IIJispellscd" io 
those early  Jays  from  the  room  in 
College  Hall  now  occupied  by  the 
Purchasing  Agent,  aod  largely  in 
the  form  of spades,  hoes, and  rakes. 
All  mal e  students  were  required  to 
work  from  one  o'clock  until  five 
every  IIfternoon--one·half  the  year 
in  the  gardens  and  one·half on  the 
farm. 

" A s  a good  • sifting' dC\'ic.-e," said 
P rof.  Kcdzie, "this work was  most 
efiicient,  and  only  those  remained 
who  were  most  efficicnt,  and  only 
those  rcmain:1<1  who  were  here  for 
the ad\:IJlcement  of  agriculture  :1nd 
M.  A.  C ." 

In  those  old  days  learning  was 
obt:1ined  by"  doing."  To  enllble 
the  majority  of  the  60  students  to 
teach  school  through  the  wintcr, 
"acations  were  taken  :1t  that  time. 
School  was  held  ;1\1  summer, Com 
mencement occurring in  I'ovclllbcr, 
:It  which time the chapel  was appro· 
priutcly  decorate(l. 
Fel!owship  W:HI 

:t  strong  factor 
in  early  M.  A.  C. history,  :I~  all  the 
classes  lived  together in  Olio.'  dormi· 
tory .  The s penk ergave  this as  one 
of  the  g reatest  for ces  influencing 
the college mim,:iI  college and  after 
graduation. 

Prof.  Kedzie  told  how, in 

t86+, 
the  ~I. A. C.  b:Lseball  team defeated 
the  U. of 1\J ., ilnd  then  beat the best 
team 
in  Delroit.  uniforms were 
conspicuous  by  their  absenC<',  the 
second  basemlln  playillg  b:lrefooted 
and  wearing II  "chip" hat. 

Mr.  Ked zic  spoke  of  the  iniju. 
enel;'  on  the college of the (·ngineer. 
iog  branch, and said  that  this divis· 
ion  had contributed  toward  improv. 
ing the  neatness  and  appearance  of 
the students.  Exactness and  detail 
demanded  by  this department were 
cited  !IS  reasons. 

The spcllker then  told  about  the 
6rst  class  of  co-cds  at  :\1.  A.  C. 
They  occupied  roomS  all  the  first 
floor  of  \Villiams  H all, :1nd  it is  said 
that  communication  by  letter  w ith 
the lIid  of;1  string  dropped  from 
above  was  much  in 
\·ogue.  The 
first  clllSS  numbered  ten,  and  they 

too,  wo rked  in  the  field. 
.. Their 
first  work,"  said  Prof.  Kedzie, 
.. was  picking  potato  bugs off  the 
potato 
Forty  per  cent, 
abollt,  married  members of the class 
of '71. 

\·ines." 

Prof.  Kedzie 

then  called  upon 
Prof.  Eustace  (who  was  in  It  posi. 
tion  to  explainJ  toteH  about the dis· 
appearance of the class  Slone  of  the 
class of  1900, which  "mysteriously" 
disappeared  Lhl'  night  before it  was 
to be  dedicated . 

In conclusion,  Prof.  Kedzie typi 
the  spirit  of  M.  A.  C.:lll 
fied 
through  its history as that of Y outh, 
Earnestness anu  Enthusiasm.

M.  A .  C. lost  to  the  Unive.rsity 
Saturday,  by  a  scorc of  9  to  z,  be· 
fore  the l.argest  crowd }'et seen  at a 
gam~ .  Although  M.  A.  C.  braced 
several  times  and  played  good  ball, 
the  ability  of  the  \;sitors  to  place 
hits ami  superior work  ill  the  box 
pro\'ed  from  the start that  the boys 
from  Ann  Arbor  had  the  advant· 
age. 

La  F ever  started 

the  pitching 
for  M. A. C., and  was  found  for 
three  hilS,. resulting 
in  one  run 
the  first  pertod  of  the game.  Four 
more  were  added  in  the  third  and 
th reein the fourth, which practically 
cinched  the  game.  The  last  for 
the  \'isitors  was  made  in  the  sixt h)

The game was  marked  by  hea"y 
hitting  on  both  sides,  the  visitors, 
however, being  able to  place the hits 
to  good  ac!\·an tage.  Only  scn.:n

CAP  NIGHT. 

is 

the  occasion  whcn 

The  student  council  have  set 
ap:!.rt  Thursday  night, June  19,:iS 
c:!.p  night,  the  greatest  all·round 
studcnt  event  of  the  college  year. 
This 
the 
scniors  "swing  out,"  the  caps  are 
burned, hono rs  handed down, and  a 
rousing  good  time  had  all  ;'Iround. 
The com mittee  on  arrangements 
for  tht! occasion are  Chester Spau ld. 
ing,  E.  F.  )Oloran,].  A.  Petrie,  A. 
L.  Birdsall, and  Carl  Pinney. 

A  movement  is  on  foot  to  hold 
the  exercises  this year  011  the  ath· 
letic  field,  erecting  a  platform  ncar 
the  grandstand  and  bleachers which 
co\,ld  be  used  by  the  crowd.  The 
classes could  be lined  up on  the  op· 
posite side,  ill  the  field,  thus affo rd 
ing  ample  room  for  all. 

One of  the  principle  reasolls  for 
the  ch ange  i9  the  f:lct  that  lIutomo· 
biles  could  be  kept out  of  the  field, 
and  this  in  itself  is  worth  thinki ng 
about.  H eretofore  it was  impossi. 
ble  for  about  two-thirds  of  those 
present  to  hea r 
lilly  considerable 
part of the progr:lm  because o f  the 
noisy  machines.  This  would  be 
el iminated  if  the  exercises  w ere  to 
be  held  across  the  Cedar. 

Plans  will  go  forward  rapidly, 
and  under the efficient  managcment 
o f  the  co mmittee  already  named, 
the success of  our  19,1  ca'p  night is 
assured. 

In  the  te nnis  games  with  Olivet 
Su,turdny,  M.  A.  C.  won  handily 
both  singles  and  doubles  in 
the 
girls' contcst. 
In  the  men's  series 
the  doubles  we rc  won  by  Olivet, 
the 
:lIld  with  M.  A.  C.  ahead  ill 
singles,  the game  was  called  on ac· 
COUllt  of  rain. 

VETERINARY  SCIENCE  ASSO

The  meeting  of  the  \ . eterinary 
A ssociatioo,  last  Tuesday  evcn ing, 
was well represented by both faculty 
and  student me mbers  o f  the depll rt 
ment.  Mosher, in  his  talk  on  cu r 
ren t  e\'ents of the veterinary  world, 
spoke  of  a  reccnt  ne ..... s  item  con. 
cerning "Sal  Yet,"  a  sure  cu re  (f) 
for  all  sick ness  in  stock.  A ccord· 
ing  to  the  state  d:liry  and  food 
chemists,  "Sui  Vet,"  is  composed 
of  <)S  per cent  common  salt,  the  reo 
mainder  bcing  cha rcoal  and  other 
organic  substllnces.  T:lylor's  talk 
on  animal  restraint  reminded  us  of 
the importl'llce it bore in  succcsshli 
surgcry.  "Not only docs  it  protect 
the anim:ll,  but  the  operato r  as  well, 
and  a t  the  same  time  there  is  the 
its  being  humane."
