Mrs. Hayner is a native of Lansing, where most of her life has been spent, and has always taken a deep interest in the growth and prosperity of the Agri cultural College. Receiving her early education in the public schools of Lansing, she was married at the age of nineteen to Lansing A. Hay ner, also a resident of Lansing. After several years of domestic life, she again turned her attention to educational work making Bay City and Saginaw her home for several years.

T HE R E C O RD extends a hearty grasp of the hand to each and all of the host of young people that to-day are taking up the year's work at the College. Those who have returned to us after a period of pleasant, and, we hope, profitable change and relaxation will need no further welcome to the broad bosom of alma mater, and no words of officious incitation to renewed effort and achievement. T he eager eyes that received them at the old farm stead or the cosy city home, the added lines of care and the broaden ing streaks of gray that they noticed as they again looked into the faces of father and mother, the half-hid den signs of privation and self- denial at home for their sake, the earnest, broading words of counsel and love that still echo in their ears —these are the things that go deep down into the heart of a generous youth and move the inmost springs of action, and beside them any words of ours must seem light and trivial. T h e n, too, we know these, our boys and girls. Have they not done well in the past? Their acts, their deeds of prowess, both intel lectual and physical, are they not all written in the book of the chronicles of the students of the M. A. C? T h at these records show mistakes and short-comings here and there is a matter of course; but they are nevertheless in the main creditable, and to rectify the errors we can safely depend upon the inspiration of the visit home. God speed our boys and girls in the effort to realize the fondest hopes of parents arid friends ! To the n ew students, with the kindly greeting, T HE R E C O RD offers some words of helpful and sympathetic advice. Perhaps, too, for those w ho read something of the same sort in our columns a year ago, these items may serve a good purpose by reminding them of good resolutions not carried out, or by implying duties and obligations which they may have forgotten or overlooked. HINTS TO NEW STUDENTS. that itself 1. T he fact thing strongly on that you are away from home, and to a certain degree thrown on your own resources, is that im perhaps the first your presses mind. Do not let the thought overwhelm you or create in you a feeling of forlornness and dejection. Recollect the cultivation of self-confidence and resourcefulness, together with a knowledge of how to meet men and women and make friends of them, is for you one of the most valuable forms of training, that under no mere favorable and circumstances could you get this part of your equipment for your sur life-work. Y ou are here rounded friends. T h e re are always at hand, good and wise men to whom you can with the utmost confidence go for this safeguard to advice, and with potential by "upon, ana no Timny to blind neighborhood prejudices you, you can make your first essays in the study of human character. W h at could be more beneficial or more essential to a successful career ? W h en you have then a feeling of homesickness, go resolutely out and throw yourself into some form of activity ; seek companionship ; make yourself approachable and attractive to someone ; and you will be aston ished to find how soon you will feel perfectlv at home in this otir little world. 2. On the other hand, do not let thrown on your the fact of being own resources lead you to a feeling of over-confidence and forwardness, or of contempt for all the wise counsel and restraint of the home inevitably life. T he former will bring upon you the epithet of treatment by "fresh," and the which schoolboys believe "fresh ness" is cured (all, of course, in a spirit of unselfish philanthrophy). T he latter is the straightest and surest possible path to ignominy and ruin. Exercise good common sense. Be approachable but modest and unassuming. Don't open your mouth and drink down all the idle and that a fun-loving sophomore may regale you w i t h; at the same time don't seek to com mand attention by superior airs of wisdom, or bid for popularity by assumed contempt for decency and morality. Don't be a milksop or a simpleton, but in seeking to avoid these characteristics don't become an ass or a fool. tales silly 3. Be sure to avail yourself to the full of all the advantages so lavishly strewn around you. Do you k n ow that there is hardly another schcol in these United States where you will be allowed to have such direct .rect and personal access to so wide a range of costly apparatus as you may have here? See to it that you lose no opportunity of this kind. H e r e, for instance, is the library. It is probably a larger, and certainly than a better, collection of books you have ever seen before. It is your privilige to touch, handle, read books that you may never have the good to even see again. F or the time being they are in every sense yours. Do you realize the M a ke the privilege? value of your daily schedule so that you can spend at least one hour daily in the library. Get someone to advise you about your reading.

Don't be ashamed of vour religion; don't wrap it in a napkin and lay it care fully away for future use after you return home.

To do this, ally yourself with all the forces for good now active at the College.
