PROGRESS  AND  THEN  SOME  MORE, 

INDICATIONS  FOR  M. A. C.  FUTURE 

Slowly butsurcly  things arc  h,lP 
pening  at  the  old  College.  The 
prospects  for  the  future  arc  Illost 
appare nt to those living at  Nf.  A.  C ., 
hut it w ill  not  be  long  before  the 
current  of  progress  wiH  begin  to 
have an effect on those farther away. 
There  is  un  indefinable  something' 
in  the  air  at 'East  Lansing  which 
makes t:\'cry one feclthal something 
big, which will be  for the betterment 
of the institution, is about due.  The 
probabilities ;Ire  that this  something 
will  be  but  an  accele ra ted  develop 
m e nt,  but  the  feeling  is  here,  and 
refuses  to  be downed . 

T he  S tate  130ard  held  its  regular 
monthly  mee ting  at  the  College l:lst 
week, and showed  their  progressi\'c 
s pirit  to  advitnlagc.  Though  the 
perso ncl  of  th e  BO:lrd  has 
[lot 
chrlllged, there  is  :HI  attitude to  g"lad 
den  the  he~lrts of fo r mer s tudents. 

Probably  the  most  important  act 
o f  the  last  meeting  was  the  letti ng 
of  the  cont ract  for  the  new  vcteri· 
nary  building.  This  step  e levates 
the  new course  to  a  plane  of  equal 
ity,  if  such  was lIo t  the  case  before, 
and  the  membe rs  of  that  div ision 
can  h:lrdly  <twait  the  time  when 
their  departmental  ho me  will  be 
finisi>t'd  awl  rC:ldy  for  occupancy. 
Prospects  are  tb:1[ 
it  wilt _ not  be 
opened  before  January  first,  1915. 
T he  inadequacy  of  the  present 
veterinary  quarte rs  has  long  been 
recognized,  and  action  wou ld  have 
been taken some time ago  h:uJ  fund s 
for  the  wo r k' been  a\'ai!able.  Now, 
howe~'e r,  the defer red  step has  been 
take n,  and  it  \yilt  no t  be  long  un til 
our  younges t  department  has  a 
home of  its  own. 

Trier  Bros .,  of Saginaw, received 
the  award;  their  bid ,  clllling  for 
$28,136.90, being the lowest offered . . 
Poss i bly  next  to  the  progress  of 
the college,  the  alumni  are  most in 
te rested  with  the  th,hlgS  having  to 
do  with  the histo r,'"  and  t raditions  of 
the c:lmpu s.  Once mo re  the  peren· 
nial  question,  " \V h:lt shall  be  do ne 
with  Col!ege  Hal!~" has  :Irisen, and 
this  time  it appears  that  some  defi· 
Ilite  a ction  will  be  taken . 
\Vhether 
to 
the  ancie nt  strllct urc, 
which  holds  a  b ig  place  in  alumni 
affections,  or  whethe r 
it 
down  is  the  q\lcstion  confronting 
the board.  Some step must be taken. 
The  present  condition of  the  build 
ing  rcude rs  it  absolutely  dangerous 
to  use  us  a class  building, while  the 

members "r  the  English amI  m:'l the

crowded  condition  jlre":liting  else

hold  their officeS  there. 

to 

One of the  motious  which  pllssed 
the  Board  last  week  instructed  the 
secretary  to  proceed  with  plans  for 
rebuilding 
the  structure  ex te rnal

wit!  doubtless  be  modernized  and 
given over solely for office purposes. 
T he  future  of  the  building  still  re -

mains  problematical, however, fOr  it 
is  uncer tain  just  what  effect  future 
plans  fo r  an  audi toriu m  may  have 
Oil  the  rcmo vlli  of Colle g e  Hall. 

These plans  for an nudilo rium :\re 
not so nebulous as was once the c ase. 
Though  not  contained·  in  the  mi 
nutes  of  the  B oa rd  meeting,  it  is 
p retty generally  unde rstood  that the 
secretary  will  from  now o n  give  a 
good part of his attention to  possible 
plans  for  such  a  buildi ng . 
It  is 
given Ollt  on  good aUihority  th at  by 
1915,  when  the  \- cterinary  building 
is  finished,  funds  on  hand  will  be 
su ffi citnt 
to  warrant  a  start  on 
a  ne w  building  for  an  audito rium, 
so  it see ms  there 
is  a  chance fo r 
som e  sort  of actio n  here. 

T he  college  now  has  an  oflicial 
architect.  Action of the State  Board 
g a ve  E.  A .  Bowd,  of  Lansing, this 
position, and  in  future  the secretary 
will  have  access  to  expert  ad vice at 
all  times. 

T he  EUllomian  L ite ra ry  Society 
was  g i\'e n  perm ission  to  occupy  the 
roo m s  now  held  by  the  Colnm bians

T he ro rensic society  will then  move 
into  the  old  Eunomian  rooms,  in 
Williams  H al!. 

Not  for  lo ng'  will  the  married

life  in  H oward  Terrace.  T he  con 
gested  cond ition  o f  the

the secret a ry  to  noti fy  the four  fam

ANNIVERSARY  OF 

THE  CLASS  OF  '73 

This  week  marks  th e  fortieth  an 
niversa ry of the  cbss of  1873 of our 
nl ma  mater.  A  letter receivtd from 
H OIl.  B.  F.  H alstead,  of  Petoskey, 
one  of  the  me m bers  of  this  cbss, 
s ug-g-ests some  inte resting  things. 

The  gradu<I\ing  class  of 

1873 
finished  their active connection with 
the  college  on  November  12  of  that 
year.  T here were fifteen  members 
ill  the  class,  of  whom  ten  are  ye t 
living.  Of  these  te n,  fou r  live  in 
Michigan,  one  in  Ne w  York,  ont: 
ill  Ittinois,  onc  in  Califoruia, o ne  in 
\Vashington.  D.  C.,  one  in  No rth 
Dakotll.  one  t he  Philippines,  and 
one  in  T exas, or  !-.I e xico. 

A s  regnrcls  the  w o rk  whic h  t hey 
arc  now  foll o wing,  th ree  arc  CIl 
gaged  in  agricultural  work, two  are 
professo rs  in  cottcges, t wo  arc  law 
ye rs,  and  o ue  each  is  in  me rcantile 
business,  government  w ork,  and 
one  is  :\  major in  the  regular  army. 
An  illtcresting coincidence  is  the 
fact  that  up  to  the  year  1873,  but 
not  including  thc  members  o f  that 
cl ass,  the  college  had  grad\lated  ex 
actl y  seventy-three  persons_

M  A.  C.  MEN  SHOW  WELL 

AMONG  COUNTY WORKERS 

The counly  experts,  who  are  the 
men  to  come closely  in  contact with 
the- fa rmer  in  the  new  agricultur:11 
scheme introduced  11  yea r  or so ago, 
held  a  meeting  at . the  college  last 
week  to  con fe r  with  P rof.  ~r Unl 
ford  a nd  report on  comlitions  fO\lIld 
and  progress  made.  According  to 
the  reports  of t hese men, the  college 
never was in  a  better position among 
the farmers  of  t he  st a te.  T he  rural 
dweHers  app reciate  wha t  is  being 
done  for  them  by  means  of  the 
coullty  agricultural  system, and  it is 
not  the  most improbable thing ill  the 
world  that some  of  our  own  repre · 
selllntives  have done  muc h  to  create 
sen timent  f:n'orable  to  the  Agricul
