EAST  LANSING,  MICHIGAN,  TUESDAY,  FEBRUARY  24,  1914. 

•  NO.  20. 

THE  STATE  BOARD  MEETING. 

The  regular  monthly  meeting of  the  State 
Board  of  Agriculture  was  held  at  the  Col 
lege  last Wednesday,  Feb. 18.  Considerable 
interest was manifested  in  the  doings  of the 
Board, owing to an  article relative to  the ad 
minish·ation  of J.  L.  Snyder  which  recently 
appeared  in  The  Det,·oit  F,·ee  P1·esS.  The 
article  stated,  upon  the  authority  of  board 
members  so  it said,  that the  majority  of the 
Board  was  dissatisfied  with  Presiaent  Sny 
der's  administration  of  affairs,  and  that  his 
resignation  was  to  be  accepted  at  an  early 
date. 

The  article  was  thoroughly  discussed  by 
the Board,  and  a  story afterwards appeared 
in  the  Detroit  T,·ibune,  stating  that  the 
members  were  well  stisfied  with  the  admin 
istl'ation,  and  there  was  no  thought  of  re-
leasing  Mr.  Snyder. 

. 

Among other things which  came  up  in the 
meeting,  aside  from  l'outine  matters,  was 
the  motion  directing  the  secr etary  and 
architect  to  proceed  with  the  plans  for  re 
modeling  Howard  Terrace.  Some  time  ago 
the  subfaculty  members  who  have  occupied 
the  west  end  of  the  building  were  notified 
that  they  would  be  forced  to  move  at  the 
end  of the year. 

The  plans  now  in  hand  contemplate  the 
addition  of  another  story  to  the  building, 
and  the  establishment  of  a  dining  room  in 
the  basement.  The entire building will  then 
be  used  as  a  women's  dormitory. 

A  motion  was  also  passed  permitting  the 
horticultural  department  to  proceed  with 
plans  for  a  new  group of greenhouses  to  re 
place  the old  ones,  which  have  become  quite 
inadequate  for  handling  the  growing  work 
of  the  department. 

HINTS  FROM  THE ALUMNI  MEETING OF 
THE  MASSACHUSETTS  AGRI 
CULTURAL  COLLEGE. 

Dr.  Beal,  always  on  the lookout  for  some 
thing  which  will  be  of  advantage  to  the  ]If. 
A.  C.  Associatiou,  has  kindly  sent  us  some 
observations  from  the  alumni  meeting  of 
the  Massachusetts  Agricultural  College, 
which  was  held  in  Boston  early  this  month . 
"Harold  M.  Gore,  '13,  laid  stress  on  the 
cultivation  of  fraternal  relations  between 
the  alumni,  appealing  for  a  close  and  per 
manent  bond  between  alumni  and  students 
of  all  years  and  conditions. 

"William  H.  Bowker,  '71,  a  trustee,  pre 
sented  a  plan  for  a  revolutionary  scheme  of 
college  instruction,  whereby  as  m ueh  work 
can  be  done  in  three  years  as  is  now  cov 
ered  in  four.  He  proposed  to  have  sfudents 
work  during  the  summer  months,  when 
farm  work  is  in  the  best  condition  for 
studies.  One  reason  why  Germany  leads 
the  United  States 
is  that  students  work 
much  harder  than  they  do · here,  spending 
more  time  on 
their  studies.  Mr.  Bowker 
has  spared  no  pains  in  working  out  a  plan 
in  detail,  dividing the year into  three  terms, 
and  believes  that  there  need  be  no  reduc 
tion  in  the  amount  of  work  now  requiring 
four  years. 

"The  writer  further  believes  that  the 
health  of  the  students  will  not  be  affected 
under  the  above  scheme,  pi·ovided  a  thor 
ough system of exercise be  carried  out from 
which  no  student  is  to  be  excepted ." 

Don't  overlook  the  editorial  page. 

DETROITERS-ATTENTION I 

Alfred  R.  Locke,  '91a,  is  just  finishing 
hi s  fu·st  term  as  prosecuting  attorney  of 
Ionia  county,  Michigan.  Mr.  Locke  has 
made a  fine  record, and has been  particularly 
successful  in  enforcing the local  option  laws 
in  his  county. 

.. 

On  Tuesday,  March  3,  the  M.  A.  C.  team 
will  finish  their  season  with a  game against 
Detroit  "Y,"  at  Detroit.  The  college  team 
lost  to  the  Detroiters  in  a  close  game  two 
weeks  ago,  and  hope  to  even  up  the  series 
at this  time.  This  is  a  good  time  to  get  to 
gether  and  root  for  the  boys.

are still  open  to  others.  If you  have an  idea, 
let's  hear  from  you.

lYE  LET THEM  DOWN  EASY. 

Comparison  of  the  M.  A.  C.  Association 
with  sim ilar  associations  in  other  colleges 
tends to  the  belief  that  the  members  of  this 
Association  are  let  off 
It 
sometimes  seems  that  the  th ings  a  person 
gets  \\-ithout  rnllch  effort  are  not  as  thor 
oughl.\'  appreciated  as  they  would  be  if  he 
had  to  do  something for  them_ 

rathel- easi ly_ 

Our  point  is  this:  We  ca nnot  call 
to 
mind  a  single  association  of  alumni  where 
annllal dues are  not r equired_  1n  most cases 
the  amollnt  is  th ree  dollars,  while  in  some 
it  is  as  high  as  five  dollars  per  year.  The 
membership  is  much  larger,  compa rath'ely, 
than  OUI'  own_  and  the  members  collect ively 
appeal'  to  take  <:1  much  keener  interest  in 
v .. -hat  is  going  on_ 

Wilhout  doubt  it  will  be  necessa ry  to  in 
stit.ule  some  s uch  plan  in  this  Association, 
if  la sting  re,ults  are  to  be  obtained.  Th e 
payment of dues  should  be  made  obligatory. 
with  the  R ECORD  subscri ption  throw n  in  fol' 
good  measure  to  all  who  pa~-, 

:::  *  * 
\Ve  feel  quite  safe  in  saying  that  if  the 
Los  Angeles alumni  will  go  ahead  with  lheir 
organ ization  they  will  be  assured  of  a  rep 
resentative  on  the  Board .  The  clause  criti 
cised  b)'  Mr.  Da,ois  is  badly  worded,  but  the 
s pirit  of  the  Association  is  one  of  good-fel 
lowship  and  a  warm  welcome  to  all,  whel'e 
e\-er  they  come  fl'om . 

*  *  * 
It  has  been  decided  to  holr!  up  the  re 
printing  of  the  B .... -laws  for  another  week , 
The  plan  has  been  further  changed,  and  the 
complete  constitutional  matler  will  not  ap 
pear.  The  B)'-laws,  with  a  ballot,  will  ap

TRUE  TO  FORM . 

True  to  its  customary  form,  the  Dei "oit 
F'ree  P'ress  has  again  sho\\'ed  consi stenc~- by 
being on  the  wrong  side  of  a  question.  Thi, 
ti me  it  was  a  matter of importance  to  e\-elT 
person  having  the  best  interests  of  M.  A.  C 
at  heart.  The  attack  made  on  President  J. 
L.  Snyder,  under  cover  of  the  names  of 
members  of  the  Board  of  Agriculture,  turn 
ed  out  to  be  groundless. 

The  importance  of  the  matter  lies  not  in 
the  thrust  at  President  Snyder,  which  was 
unjust,  but  rather  in  the effect  it  must  ha"e 
had  on  the  supporters  of  the  college.  Con 
to  be 
fidence  in  an  institution  is  bound 
shaken  when  charges  of  dissati sfaction  are 
directed  toward  its  administration,  and  it 
appears  that  a  great  and  influential  news 
paper  might  devote  itself to  better purposes 
than  those  e\'idenced  in  an  attempt  to  pro 
voke  discord  in  an  important  state  body.

IT  MAKES  LI TTL E  DI FFERENCE. 

Wh ether  the  member s  of  the  Association 
vote  to  hold  reunions  according  to  th e  Dix 
plan  or  according  to  some  other  plan,  the 
fact  remains  that  such  gatherings  should, 
and  must,  become  annual  affairs_  Any  at 
tempt  to  keep  alive  the  interest of  members 
if  meetings  are held  but once  in  three  years 
will  absolutely  fail. 
It  has  been  hoped, 
through  discussion,  to  arri ve  at  some  plan, 
satisfactory  to  the  majority,  whereby  an

ALUMNI  REUNIONS. 

The  proposed  plan  of  alumni  reumons, 
shown  on  page  7  of  the  RECORD  of  Januarv 
20,  does  not  accomplish  all  t hat is  desired  iii 
Oll L'  reunions  and  renewals  of  friend ships. 
The  classes  of  '84,  '85,  '86,  and  :87  are 
scheduled  for  a  re union  in  1914,  but  '83,  as 
close  a  friend  of  '84  as  is  '85,  .i s  not  to  meet 
them  as  a  class  until  1919 ;  and  '82,  almost 
as  neal',  is  depri Yed  of  the  pri vilege,  as  per 
th is  schedule,  until  1924. 

Three  years  is  a  long  time  between  re 
unions ,  and  many  of  the  older  alumni  will 
have  scant  oppOltunity  to  meet  t he  friends 
of  college  days  if  reunions  separate  th e 
classes  for  peri ods  of  from  lh-e  to  fifteen 
years. 

I  respectfully  suggest  a  modi ncation  of 
the  proposed  plan,  by  which  all  t he  older 
alumni  may  have  the  opportunity  of  meet 
ing  in  triennial  renn ion  with  groups  of  the 
younger  alumni  that  occur  at  the  same 
(The  modification  will  be  explainEd 
time. 
below.)  .  B y  this  -plan,  all  alumni  wh o  \\  .; i: e 
graduated  twenty  years  01'  more  pre\ iOlls  to 
the triennial  reuni on  will  be  in cluded  in  one 
group,  while  all  the  younger  alumni  will  be 
grouped  as  pel'  diagram. 

H oweve l',  thi s  grand  triennial  reuni on  of 

all  classes  is  m~r  preference. 

OREL  L .  HERSHISER,  '84. 

Mr.  H e l'shi s€l" s  modification 

is  as  fol 
lows :  Beginning  at  ·91,  at  the  left  hand 
side  of  the  Dix  plan  as  presented  in  the 
RE CORD  of  January  20,  a  diagonal 
line  is 
co nstructed  across  the  diagram  at  such  an 
angle  that  it  mo ves  up  one  vert ical  space 
each  year.  Thus.  in  1914  the  class  of  '94 
graduating  just twenty  years  ago,  is  dil'ect~ 
Iy  beneath  the  diagonal. 
In  1916,  the  time 
fo r  the  next  regular  triennial,  the  diagonal 
has  moved  upward  so  that  '96  is  c1i rectly 
beneath  t he  li ne. 

The  idea  is,  that  the  classes  below  the 
diagonal,  spoken  of  as  the  older  classes,  will 
meet  only  at  the  triennials,  while  the  g'roup 
system  would  be  applied  to  those  abov~ the 
diagonal  lin e  as  now  proposed. 

Mr.  Hershi ser  might  have  gone  further 
and said  that  '88  and  '89  are al most as  close 
to  '87  as  is  '86.  Th is  situati on  would  be 
true  of  any  group  of  classes  which  mi <Yht 
be  chosen,  for  it  is  characteristic  of  th e 
democratic  spirit  peculiar  to  M.  A.  C.,  that 
n~a rly  ever~ man  or  woman  has  enj oyed  a 
WIde  acqua111tance  among'  all  classes 
in 
school  at  the  same  period.  The  idea  in 
grouping  is  simpl y  one  Way  of· salvinO"  a 
problem  sure  to  be  vexing  e~ven  i n  its  best 
light. 

It is  more  than  likely  that,  once  the  peo-

pIe  become  accustomed  to  th e  annual  re 
union  plan,  it  will  be  mo re  faYol'ably  re 
ceived.  It is  nat ural  to  hesitate  to  deviate 
fro m  the  clistom  of  years,  but  in  this  in 
stance  a  si ncere  effort  to  make  the  annual 
plan  a  success  will  r esult  with  benefit  t o  all 
conce rned . 

BY-LA WS  DISC USSION . 

The  Editor  M.  A.  C.  RECORD : 

1  have  read  the  proposed  By-laws  care 
f ull y,  and  discussed  them  with  others. 
I n 
general  we  believe  them  good .  Mr.  Bolte's 
criticism  of  clauses  7  and  11  has  been  read 
wi th  in terest,  and  I  a m  heartily  in  accord 
with  him  regarding  modifying  these  clauses 
so  that  there  can  be  be  no  opportunity  for 
less  t han  a  major ity  of  the  executi ve  boa rd 
to  conduct  the  a ffai rs  of  t he  Association . 

1  would  like  to  go  one  step  further  and 
suggest  a  modification,  0 1'  amplification ,  of 
clause  5,  as  it  seems  to  be  l'estri cti\'e  and  ex 
cl usive  in 
limiting  the  executi ve  board  to 
t hose  r epresentati ves  invited  by  the  boa rd . 
Tili s  clause  should  be  made  broad  enough 
so  that  there  would  be  no  question  of  rep· 
resentation  when  an  actiye  local  association 
organizes.  As  the  clause  is  worded  it  per 
mits  a  few  to  control  the  boa rd.  and  ex 
cludes  all  other  representati ves  of  local  as 
sociations.  Probably  t he  intent of  th e  clause 
is  good,  but  the  wording  is  f aulty. 

\Ve  ha ve  here  in  Los  Angeles  and  vici nity 
probably  a  score  of  M.  A.  C.  graduates,  all 
vitall y  interested  in  the  progress  and  suc 
cess of  the college and  the  Associati on.  The 
matter  of  a  local  association  has  often  been 
discussed,  and  if  we  were  s m·e  of  represen 
tation on  t he  board  it  wou ld  be  an  added  in 
centive  to  organize. 
\V e  are  too  far  from 
Mi chigan  to  do  much  boosting  fo r  t he  col 
lege,  but  we  have a  mission  in  extending  the 
glad  hand  and  aiding  the  to uri st  graduate 
while  spendmg  a  season  with  us,  or  comes 
iVlany  alumni 
her e 
would  look  us  up  when  he re  if  they  knew 
.how  and  where  to  fi nd  tis.  A  local  associa 
tion  would  assist  them  in  doing  so. 

to  make  hi s  home. 

. Few  of  us  ru sh  in to  print  to  express  our 
VIews,  but  there  is  a  live  interest here  in  all 
s ubjects  I)rese,.,ted,  and  we  expect  to  vote, 
and  vote  ll1 telhgently  when  the  t ime  comes. 
I  believe  we  will  fin d  the  same  true  of  t he 
matricul ates,  whel'e\'el'  they'  are  if  O"i~en  a

c  ance  to  take  an  acti ve  interest  ill  the  af-

Deal'  Editor: 

I  read  the  M.  A.  C.  RECORD  each  week 
with  a  great  deal  of  pleasure,  especiaIIy 
when  I  see  the  name  of  some  of  the  old 
c!'owd  who  used  to  live  in  Williams  Hall  in 
1894-5.  I  roomed  in  No.  40,  Williams,  com 
monly  called  at  that  time  "Bedbug  Alley," 
and I  often  think of the legend  told  of  ::II.  G. 
Kains,  to  the effect  that  he  was  such  an  ill 
veterate enemy  of the  bedbugs  that  he  could 
get up  in  the middle  of  the  night  and  pin  a 
bedbug to the wall  or ceiling without a  light.

F ollowing  their  defeat  at  the  hands  of 
Detroit  "Y,"  Gauthier's  men  came  back 
strong  last  Thul'sday  night,  and  defea ted 
the  fi ve  [rom  West  Virgin ia  Wesleyan  by  a 
score  of 38  to  20.  Contrary  to  expectations, 
the  game  was  fast  and  close  most  of  the

time,  the  y isitol's  exhibiting 
knowledge  of  the  game,  and  also  dis playing 
a  fam iliarity  with  a  walled  court.  DUJ'ing

Gauthier  and  Hewitt  Miller  led  in  t he

f rom  the  other  members  of

Neale,  of the  visitors,  was  a  real  star,  being 
the  leader  in  t hei r  scoring,  and  playing  a 
brilliant  game  at  guard.  Had  he  tossed 
even  a  pa rt  of  t he  free  throws  he  missed 
during  the  first  half,  the  score  would  have 
been  much  closer.

FRESHMEN  APPEAR  TO  HAVE  TITLE . 

By  defeating  t he  juniors  in  a  fast  pre 
limi nary  last  Thursday  night,  the  fl'e~h­
rnan  team  appeal'S  to  have  the  inter-class 
title  safely  tucked  away.  The  score  was  19 
to  9,  and  at  no  time  did  the  j uniors  have  a 
chance  to  win.  One  game  remains  for  the 
first  year  men  t o play,  that with  the seniors, 
but  as  they  have  already  defeated 
the 
°high-brows"  in  an  easy  game,  no  fears  as 
t o  the  outcome  are  felt.  This  is  the  first 
time  a  freshman  team  has  won  the  title  in 
several  years. 

F loyd  M.  Barden,  ·08a,  of  South  Haven, 
Mich.,  addressed  the  club  last  week.  Bar 
den  is  a  successful  peach  grower  and  it  was 
on  this  topic  that  he  spoke.  El iefly  trac 
ing  the  history  of  the  work  in  I\Iich iga n,  he 
gay€  the members some  idea  of the  obstacles 
wh ich  confront  the  man  who  would  make 
a  success  of  l'aising  peac-heg  1'01'  mHrket. 
Cultural  methods  and  so il  differences  as  re 
lated  to  t he  production  of  good  fr uit  were 
taken  up  in  some  detail. 

Among  other  things,  Mr.  Barden  recom 
mends  trees  with  an  open  head,  so  that  the 
fru it  will  grow  on  the  branches  nea r  t he 
ground.  He  is  also  an  advocate  of  a  coyer 
Cl'Op,  especial1 y  on  sloping  1and.  and  favors 
the  use  o[  those  which  will 
increase  the 
a mount  of  nitrogen  in  the  soil.  He  believes 
in  thorough  sprayi ng  wheneyer  necessary, 
and  has  good  success  with  lead  arsenate  in 
controll ing  cu rculio. 

Fully  as  important  as  any  othel·  detail  in 
making  a  successful  business  is  the  method 
of  marketing.  Too  much  care 
in  sorting 
and  packi ng  cannot  be  gh'en,  and  the  re 
[n 
sults  are  always  worth  the  extra  effolt. 
his  opinion,  the  prime  requisite  for  SlicceSf-; 
is  a  loye  f or  the  J.JlIsi ness.
