CHICAGO  ALUMNI  GATHERINGS. 

The  Chicago  alum ni  have  numerous  small 
social  affairs,  besides  the  big annual  dinner 
which  takes  place  the  latter  part  of  Feb 
ruary.  Just  before  Christmas,  P.  B.  Wood 
worth,  '86,  P.  M.  Chamberlain,  '88e,  and 
wife,  N.  S.  1\ofayo,  '88a,  and  wife,  who  was 
Mollie  Carpenter,  also  of '88,  George  L.  Tel 
ler,  '88,  and  wife,  all  of Chicago,  and  W.  H . 
Vandervoort,  8ge,  and  wife,  who  was  Mary 
Sntith,  of '89,  of  Moline,  III.,  had  supper  to 
gether. 

More  recently,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Woodworth, 
F.  H .  Wade,  '08,  G.  H .  Osbol'Jle,  '11e,  Fred 
Stone, ' 12e, and Will  Nies and Fred Granger, 
both  of  '13,  had  a  sociable  dinner. 
In  the 
latter part of J anuary,  the Woodworths  had 
dinner at the Union League Club,  with W.  R. 
RummIer, '86,  and  wife.  Mr.  RummIer  is  a 
successful  patent attorney, with  offices  in  the 
Tribune  Bldg. 

January  31st,  Howard  A.  Taft,  '10,  and 
wife,  Tuchia  Ryall  Taft,  '11,  Osborne  and 
Stone,  with  I. J.  Westerveld,  '1 2e,  and  wife, 
had  supper  together.  At  all  such  meetings 
a~ the  above,  many  rem iniscencEs  of  the  M. 
A.  C.  are indulged  in . 

MRS.  L.  M.  WOODWORTH ,  '93 

NEW  ENGLAND  ALUMNI  TO  GATHER . 

The  successful  meeti ng  held  at  Rochester 
last week has  led  M.  G.  Kain s to contemplate 
the  holding  of  a  similar  meeting  in  New 
York  City  in  the  near  fut ure.  There  are 
many  former  M.  A.  C.  people  in  and  neal' 
New  York,  and  a  combination  with  the  New 
England association should bring out a  good 
ly  attendance.  Kains  desires  that  all  such 
send  him  their  names  and  addresses.  The 
Philadelphia  alumni  are  included  in  this ar 
rangement. 

Most  men,  by the  time t hey  graduate,  are 
entitled  to  vote.  Are you  going to cast your 
vote  next  fall  for  men  who  are  friendly  to 
the best interests  of the College? 

UPPER  PENINSULA  FARMERS  FEEL 
KINDLY  TOWARD  COLLEGE. 

President  J.  L.  Snyder  recently  returned 
from  a  flying  trip  to  the  upper  peninRul a, 
where  he  met  a  number  of  influential  men 
who  are  desirolls  of  better  agricultural  con 
ditions  in  that  region .  He  reports  that  de 
spite stories  whi ch  have appeared  [rom  time 
to  t ime  in  the  newspapers  relative to  the op 
position  to  the  Coliege,  the  people  really  are 
vel')'  generously  disposed  toward  11'1.  A.  C., 
and  are  more than  pleased  by  the  announce 
ment  that  they  wi1l  receive  considerable  at 
te ntion  in 
the  future .  W.  F.  Raven,  field 
agent,  and  one  other  man  will  be  detailed 
to  the  upper  peninsula  to  assist  in  develop 
ing  the  countl'Y  agricultul'ally. 

NEW  ATHLETIC  FIELD  SOON  TO  BE 
COME  A  PLEASING  REALITY . 

Even  as  the  RECORD  is  going  to  press,  the 
College  is  coming  into  possession  of  the  old 
Woodbury farm, .iust south of the  Red  Cedar 
and  west  of  the  windbreak.  The  tl'act  in 
cludes  some  325  aCl'es,  and  will  provide  the 
future  students  of  M.  A.  C.  with  a  play 
ground suffi cient for the needs of all  time. 

Not  all  the  property  will  be  given over  to 
the  use  of  the  athletic  department,  but 
enough  will  be  allowed  to  pel'mit  of  two  01' 
three  football  field s,  several  baseball  dia 
monds,  and a  fine  running track. 

Among  the  excellent  features  of  the  ]ll'0-
1'0sed site are the fact t hat  it is  high  a nd  dry 
and  easily  dl'ained ,  points  which  al'e  de 
plorably  lacking  in  the present ath letic  field. 
Another  is  the  nearness  of  the  new  field  to 
the  campus  proper,  making  it  unnecessary 
for the students to  weal' out the gl'ass on  the 
campus  in  taking  their  exercise. 

Work  on  the  new  field  will  doubtless  be 
stal'ted  this  spri ng,  but  it  is  not  expected 
that  it  will  be  ready  fol'  use  befol'e  the  fall 
of  1915 .  As  soon  as  the  present  athletic 
field  is  vacated  it  will  be  turned  over  to  the 
military  department fol'  a  drill  ground.

A  PLAN  WORTH  CONSIDERING. 

Any  plan  which  serves  to  get  the  alumni 
back to the scenes of t heir college days and to 
renew  within  their  hearts a  spirit of loyalty 
to the college and  a  live interest in t he activi  
ties of the present, is surely worth more than 
passing  consideration.  The  following  para 
graph,  clipped  f rom  an  eastern  ne,wspapel', 
speaks  for itself : 

II 

is  an  astonishing  [aei 

tbat  s uch  an 
eVt' nt  as  the  alumni  day  planned  by  the  Yale 
a uthoriti es  fo r  Februa ry  23  proves  to  have 
heen  t.ried  at  no  oth er  Am erica n  un iversity. 
Th e  effort .  which  happens  to  be  addressed 
particularly  to  the  Yal e  alumni  of  New  En g 
land,  is  to  bring  the  graduates  back ,  not  for 
~ny  athletic  contest  or  society  reunion,  but 
for  tbe  di s tinct  purpose  of  rega ining  tou ch 
w ith  the  uni ..... ersity  as  a  work ing educa tional 
plant.  Th ey  are 
to  be  invited  to  attend 
for 
they  pl ease.  though 
whatever  classes 
LUnately  not  to  recit e;  tbey  are  even  as ked 
to  gel  up  for  morning  chapel  Whicb",  with  a 
hastily  sw allowed  breakfast,  should  make 
Lhe  illusion  of  returning  college  da ys  fairly 
v ivid,  if  it's  a  cold  morning.  Th ey  are  to  be 
offered  quarte rs  in  th e  homes  of  the  faculty . 
and  a  general  effor t  undertaken 
to  mak e 
clea r  jus t  what  the  unive rs itr  is  trying  to 
do  and  how  far  it  is  doing  it.  The  id ea  is 
admirable.  and  me rits  copying  else wh e re. 

It seems to us that such  a pla n might  work 
if tried  among  the M.  A.  C.  alu mni  resident 

in  Michigan,  as  we1l  as  in  nothern  Ohio,  In 
diana  and  Illinois.  We  feel  certain  that  a 
large number of the "old grads" could find  it 
convenient to  return to college and  take part 
in  real  college  life  for  one  day-enough  to 
make  a  creditable  shov,ring,  and  to  prove  to 
the  present  students  that  "once  a  college 
man  is  always a college man." 

Former  members  of  the  Hort,  club,  the 
Farmers'  club,  and  the  engineering  sodety 
could  attend  the  meetings  of  t hose  bodies, 
while  it  is  quite  possible  that  many  of  the 
societies  would  find  it to  t heir  advantage  to 
hold  special  meetings  at the time. 

The old timers would  j ust wandel' back for 
the purpose  of  enjoying  another  day  of  col 
lege  life,  and  not  for  an y  special  athletic 
contest  01'  day  filled  with  ceremonies.  We 
\,"'ould  like  to  know  what  those  concerned 
think  of  such  a  proposition. 

*  *  * 
The second  annual  banquet of  the  Minne 
apoli s  Wolverine  Society  was  held  at  the 
Athletic Club,  in  that city, on  J anua ry 26.  A 
large  number  of  for mel'  Michigan  people 
we!'e  present,  among  them  several  M.  A.  C. 
people.  Mr. Charles  F . Her rmann, '97a,  was 
president  of  the society  during 1913.  Other 
!VI.  A.  C. people who  were present were:  H . 
R.  Smith,  '95a,  and  wjie,  \V.  T .  Langley. 
'82,  and  wife,  Karl  B.  Jewett,  ex-'  0,  and 
wife, and  A. D.  Badour,  '12a. 

Harry E.  Moon,  '06e,  was a campus  visitor 
a  short  time  ago.  While  in  college,  Moon 
made some  records  in  the 100-ya\'d  and  220-
ya rd  dashes  which  stHl  stand.  He  is  now 
identified  with  a  construction  fil'm  in  Salt 
Lake City.  Utah. 

C.  L.  Rose,  'lla,  is  doing  well  in  the  l'eal 
estate  business  at  Eva l't,  :Mich .  According 
to  information  received  from  him,  he  can 
give  prospecti ve  buyers  perfect  satisfaction 
in  either unimproyed  lands  or  good  farms. 

Norman  B.  Gridley,  '13e,  for  the  past  six 
months  connected  with 
the  Olds  M otOI' 
Works,  has  resigned  hi s  position  to  accept 
one  as  assistant  in  the  vocational  b'aining 
department of the Lan sing public  schools. 

Irving J.  Woodin , '13, has  sent his address 
to  the  RECORD  as  313  Temple  Block,  Kansas 
City,  Mo.  Woodin  will  be  glad  to  have  any 
old  M.  A.  C.  people  call  on  him,  as  he  says 
he  is  a  stl'anger  to  the  city. 

Since  leaving  the  General  Motol's  Com 
pany  last  October,  H.  H.  Bamett,  '06e,  has 
been  engaged  in  civil  engineering  and  sur 
veying  work  in  and  llear  Pontiac,  Mich .

EX-VARSITY  MAN  BECOMES  COACH. 

One  of  t he  fo rmer  M.  A.  C.  athletes  who 
is  a  p r oduct of both  the Brewer  and  Macklin 
regimes  is  about  to  begin  turni ng  out  teams 
of  his  own,  with  wh ich  to  startle  t he  sport 
ing  wo rld.  The  man  is  B.  P.  Pattison,  '12a, 
who  has  recently  been  appointed  to  tutor  the 
ath letes  of  t he  University  of  West  Virginia . 
vVhi le in  college, "Big Pat," as  he was call 
ed,  was  a  me mber  of  the  varsity  footbal l, 
basketball, and baseball  teams.  I n  the form 
er  sport  he  was  a n  understudy  for  "Buck" 
Wheeler,  '09,  and  a  teammate  of  such  men 
as  Shedd,  Campbell,  McKe nna  and  Exelby. 
I n  baseball  Pattison  was  a  pitcher,  his great 
size  assisti ng  him to  dazzle  the  batters  with 
speed.  After  his  gr aduation,  Pattison  was 
signed  by  Terre  Haute, 
in  the  Centi'al 
league,  where  he  had  fa il'  success. 

Promotions  in  the  cadet  corps  in  the  fu 
ture  will  be st r ictly  by  senior ity  of rank.  A 
list  of  the  officers  has  been  carefully  pre 
pared, t a king  into accoun t  t he dating of each

H .  B.  Calkins,  ex-'07e,  is  now  located  at 
517  N.  48th ave.,  West Duluth,  Mi nn .  Dur 
ing 1912 and 1913 he was a general inspector 
for  the  Northern  P acific  Railway  and  since 
Ju ne, 191 3,  has been  electr ical  fOTem a n  with

Last Tuesday evening the populace of East 
Lansing  had  an  opportun ity  of  leaming 
some  more  r egarding  the  Pa nama  canal 
from  the lips  of  a  man  who  has  lived  in  t he 
zone,  and  who  knew  his  subject.  An  addi 
tional  feature,  wh ich  added  to  the  interest 
of  the  lecture,  was  the  fine  collection  of  lan 
tern  sl ides  with  which  it  was  illustrated. 

At  the  start,  Mr.  Bishop  briefly  took  up 
the  history  of  the  old  republic  of  Panama, 
going back to the days  of Columb us  and  Bal 
boa,  and  tracing it  through  the periodic  rev 
olutionary  outbreaks  which  we re  as  J'egulalo 
as  meal  t i meso 

I n  a  simple and  easily  understood  manner, 
the  reasons  why  a  sea level  canal  would  have 
heen  impossible  were  I·elated.  The  main 
factor  against  this  type  of  waterway  was 
the uneven  level  of the  Chagres  river,  which 
in  times of flood  rises  as  high as 40  feet.  An 
other  reason,  now  pretty  generally  u ndel' 
stood,  is  the  difference  of  the  tides  at  Pan 
ama  and  Colon,  which  would  have  caused  a 
gigantic  t idal  wave  to  sweep  through  t he 
canal  twi~e daily,  tearing  down  the  banks. 
Many  of  the  stupendous  pieces  of  en 
g ineer ing,  about  which  most  had  read,  were 
described  in  detail,  with  the aid of the slides. 
The  Gatun  dam,  the  Gamboa  dike,  the  lock 
systems,  and  many  other  subjects  were  cov 
ered  in  the  lecture  of  oyer  an  hou r .  and  it 
must  be  said,  to  the  credit  of  Mr.  Bis hop, 
that  he  had  his  audience  thol'oughl y  inter 
ested  during  the  whole  time. 

THE  COLLEGE  WATER  AGAIN. 

Lansing  newspapers  have  been  having  a 
melT),  tilt  over  the  condition  of  t he  College 
drinking water.  One says it is  and the other 
says  it  isn't.  Dr.  Giltner,  head  of  the  bac 
tel'iological  depa rtment,  and  t he  one  man  in 
a  position  to know . says  that ther e  is  no  im 
mediate  danger  from 
the  campus  water 
" ' pply.  The  water  is  as  good  as  it has  been 
fo r  the  past three  months. 

That  there  is  some  pollution  from  an  un 
known  SOUl'ce  is  apparent,  but  no  germs  of 
infectious  disease  have  been  found.  Were 
the  college  a uthorities  unacquainted  with 
the  situation,  ther e  might  be  danger,  but 
they a l'e p r epared  in advance. and every pre 
caution  is  being  taken.  Up  to  this ti me,  not 
one case of illness  traceable to  the water  has 
appeared  on  the  campus. 

A  grapefruit is a  lemon  that  had  a  chance 

a nd  took  advantage  of  it.

THE  M . . A.  C.  RECORD. 

! CORRESPONDENCE ! 

F r om  A.  1\.  Robson,  Cr estwood,  Yonkers, 
N .  Y. :  " The  RECORD 
is  certainl y  received 
and  read  with  g reat  interest,  and  1  would 
not  wish  to  be  deprived  of  its  anticipated 
arrival."  Mr.  Robson  is  now  employed  as 
foreste r  with  th e  Bronx  parkway  comnris 
sion, with  headquarter s a t  Yonkers. 

A. B.  Rogers, '04, Sioux City,  la., says:  " It 
is  10 years  si nce]  was  graduated l  and  1 have 
visited  the  campus  but  once  during  th at 
time.  1 am  cut  off from  fr iends  of the  dear 
old  college,  and  never  see  a  'grad '  here. 
I 
hope  to  some  day,  as  thls  is  'some  city.'  a 
'wild  west  town'  no  more." 

Dear  Ediior: 

Don't change the RECORD  from a  weekly  to 
a  monthly; a  short spiC)'  weekl y  is  much  bet 
ter  than  a  long  newsy  affair  that  comes  at 
such  intervals  and  takes  too  much  of  our 
valuable  time  to  read.  Don't  change  the 
alumni  reunions.  You  can  teal'  down  Col 
lege  Ha ll  any  old  time  and  erect  in  its  place 
an  audi torium ,  but  give  us  a  chance.  once 
in  three  yea rs,  to  l'eturn  to  the  old  ca mpu s 
and  meet  both  old  and  young.  There  are  a 
thousand  a cres  in  t he  farm  now,  and  if  the 
campu s  won't  hold  all  of  us,  some  can  take 
to  the  woods.

HORT.  CLUB. 

The  principal  speaker  at  t he  last  meeting 
of  the  Hort.  Clu b  was  A.  N.  Bullock,  of  La  
peer,  Mich .,  who  gave t he  boys  some  practi  
cal  ideas  relative  to  the  proper  method  of 
marketing apples.  Hi s  plan  is  to sh ip a  car 
load of apples to some city,  and then go there 
and  sell  t hem  direct  to  the consume rs. 

Among  t he  things  he  emphasized  was  the 
va llie  oC  a  good  trade  name.  A  name  with  a 
reputation  behind  it  is  worth  real  mone~r, 
Mr.  Bullock  has  a  re putatio n  for  good  f ru it, 
which  enables  him  to  get  his  pri ce.  He  a lso 
dwelt  upon  the  necessity  for  car eful  sor ting 
and  propel'  packing,  two  things  essential  to 
the building up of a  good  trade.  He  showed 
why  the trade desires  barrel  fr uit,  whe n  the

NOTRE  DAME  PAYS  PENALTY  FOR 
DEFEAT  OF  AGGIES . 

In  one  of  th e  most  exciting  bas ketball 
games seen  he re  thi s  year, the  fig·hting Jr is h 
me n  f rom  Notre  Dame  paid  dear ly  fo r  th e 
trouncing  they  administered  to  Macklin's

Alth ough  the  home  team  led  in  the  scoring 
all  t he  way,  t he  ,·is itors  never  s topped  figh t
