A careful es timate by the reg istrars placed the nUUlbe r of former stu den ts on t he cam pus l last Tu esday at approx im ately 300; more tha n wer e usu ally 1)I'esen t at the TZ'i en ni als, with the ex ception of on e or two occa s ions. Th e day was inte nsely hot. Judge C. B. Collin g wood, '86, a vete ra n attende r of al umni meetings, is authority for the stateme nt that it wa s the hottest reunion day he ever sa\\'. 1n spite of the su ltry weather, however, the visitors sh owed boundl ess enthusiasm all day long. from ea r ly morning uniil the trees began to throw the ir lengthening shad ows over th e "most \)eauti fuJ cam pu s in America." Even th en not all lhe alumni de pa rted. A few who hated to leave the scene of so much e njoy ment r emained ove r for the ball and r ecept ion in the Armory at ni gh t , where a program ranged from the se date wal tz and two-step, eage rly participated in by the "old-time r s," t.o the very latest st rains of one-step, t a ngo and hesitation, much-bel oved of th e youngste r s. Th e earli est arrival was Dr. John K. Ga iley, '14, of Detroi t. Un us ual inter est a ltache d to t h e pres ence of Dr. Gailey at this tim e, as he had never set foo t upon the campus since th e day of h is gr ad ua tion, forty years ago.

We believe it will. and that 6ur members, individually and collectively, will aid tbe peotHe of the state at large in securing for tbe Agricultural College the means to furth er the advancem ent of one of the greatest of agricul tural st~tes. And now, just a word of exhortation. As one of the speakers on Reun ion day put It, "Jlemember who our f r iends are." Before lending your support , to any office-seeker, be sure that he is at least open to persuasion on behalf of the College. Don't cast your vote bli ndly, Keep In touch with affairs con cerning tbe College. Do this through the M. A. C. RtX!oltO. Interest your neighbors. More of them tha n you have any idea have spent. some time at our College. and farm ers the state over are will ing to promote their own interests by promoting those of the in· stilution.

McKibben will be re membered by the people of recent years as a man seriou s in his work, and interested in the broader acti vities of the campus. He was the first man to bol d the office of cadet colonel in the l\J. A. C. cadet co rp s. The magazine contains an excellent article from l\'lcKibben, dealing the pen (or typewriter) of :\11'. with Arizona forests and their protection. In it be relates a few examples showing the untold val ue of the forests to the state, and goes into detail regard ing the menace of forest fires. The system used by the service in combating fires is explained, with a few incidents to demonstrate its value. The article is splendidly written and profusely illustrated, and is a credit to the author. We are glad to r eceive these examples which sbow 1\1. A. C. men and women to be actively "on tbe job."

In an address beforp. the Michigan Bankers' As sociation last week, George E. Lawson, ex-'82, spoke of the legislation affecting the Agricultural College which was cer tain to come up in the next legisla· ture, and urged his associates to study the situa tion closely and sympathetically. "If there is anyone agency which has, above oih· ers, made for the development of the great resources of this commonwealth, that agency is the Agricul· tural College at Lansing, and any curlailment of its usefulness wou ld be a most disastrous e rro r.

They are all new members of the fac ulty, and are succeeding excellently in their respec tive positions. Next year Dr. McCool, a very well trained and efficient man, will take the place form e rl y held by Professor Jeffery, as the head of our soils department. Professor Chittenden, '· ... bo is an trained man, will succeed Pro exceptionally well fessor Baker as the h~ad of the forestry depart ment. "\Ve were all som ewhat disapPOinted in not r e ceiving the increase in our - finances which · we had hoped for. You are, of course, quite familiar with the troubles which we encountered due to th e fact lba1 the legislature, in making the appropriation, placed a limit on the amount of funds, e ither state or goverllrnent, which could be spent on th e en gineering department. While the r estriction was held to be unconst itutional , in setti ng it aside the Supreme Cou rt held it necessary to eliminate the entire bill, placing us back again on the one-tenth .of a m ill. The one-sixth of a mill would have given us about $380,000 per annum, or $150,000 mpre than we are receiving from th e on e-lenth mill tax. The deciSion, however , establlshed a great prinCiple, which will result in great good to the college in the I think it has settle d · once and for all the future. questi on of the con t rol of funds received from the Nationa l Government. the State Board will have full powe r over the expe ndi tu r e of the National Governme nt, funds which amounts, all laId , to $160 ,000 per annum. This su m- will be increased now from year to year .. received 1n the future from While the friends of the college should be active in its support, yet I do not fea r in the least but that the legislature, at its next sessio n, will come for ·wa rd ver y generou sly in the way of appropriations. -It is e ntirely wrong to suppose that the last legis lature was hosUle to the institution. I have been with nine different legislatures, and I am fr ee to say that I have met no legislature wh ich was more inclined to be generous to th is institution than was the last one. 1'hose who knew the personnel of the last legislature, and its final action, .can understand (Iuite readily the nature of the t roubl e which we en countered on the last day of the session . The next legislature will be fri endly, and will, I thi nk, with out doubt provide liberally for the carrying on of the aggressive work of the college. I believe this to he true because the college has established itself in the affections of the people. Th e re is no poli tician or n ewspaper in the state that dare attack the college as a college. Of course, they criticise some of am policies-some of them say that this coIl eg·e bas no t done for the people as much as the Agr"icultural School of Wi.sconsin, instance. 1'\"ow, of course, they speak without knowledge, b~ cause anyone who knows the history of the two states and the two institutions must grant that this institution bas done much more for the upbuilding of agricultu r e than has th e institution of our ne igh boring st.ate, worthy and good as it is . for • • l The people of the state believe in this institu: tion; they believe in the type of education we are they believe in our g reat body of earnest giving; students; they be li eve in our g raduates because they are m en and women who are not only good. but are good for something. So that, while we shall go brave ly forward , we do not need to doubt our ability to hold the confidence, respect, and s upport this commonwealth. The great of th e peopl e of agricultural classes of the state believe in this in s titution. No criticisms have come from them, but the criticisms as t o our policies bave come from th ose who do not know,- who never have heard of the National endowments which r eq uire us to teach engineering as well as agriculture. It should, the r e for e, be th e part of the alumni to e nli ghten, through newspape r articles and in eve ry other way, the people of the state concerning our relationsh ip with our National Governme n t. They sbould be told t hat tbe National Governm ent has an inves tme nt in tbis institution of more than $4,000,000, and that it ins ists that th e obligation which the sta te made when it accepted these land grants shall be ful filled, and that e ngineering as well as agriculture shoul d be taught in th is college. The people of the state should al so realize that. while we do not otfer a large number of courses in engineering. yet the ·work given is of a splendid quality, and fits the graduates for filling r espons ible positions. Th e graduates this department bold their own with the graduates from Olher good It should not enginee ring schools of th e country. be forgotten that students can acqui re this lraining at this institution at a ver y much less expense than at other good engineering sch ool s in the state. from Th e same simple, democratic life prevails at this institution that characterized the life on this cam pus many yea r s ago. The ave rage student has very limited means. H e can, however. live be l·e, en joy a splendid social life and maintain hl.s self-respect , though his means be very limited. 'I'be young me n and the young women who have given the in stitu tion character, and wh o have represe nted it before the worl d as alumni in a dignified and able manne r. have in nearly ever y th e ran ks of those who!;e parents have made great sac rifices to give them the opportunity or a coll ege edu cation. in stance sprung from It sh ould be the ch ief aim of the faculty and the a lumni inexpensive life which has been so marked in this institution in the past. this democratic. to maintain The futu re of this college was never so bright as at the present time. The legisla tu r e will appro priate the money, and it is th e part of you alumni to ~ee that a future governor will not veto our bill, as was done four years ago, or that a few men un der the direction of one leader will not thwart the purposes of the legislature, as was done at the last session. The money will be forthcoming, and build ing after bllilding will arise on these grounds with in the next few year s, and the college will go for ward more rapidly in t he future than it ha s In ' the THE M.

Th ey must not be permitted to assume that the term "Agri cultura l College" precludes ihe teaching of anything except .agriculture in tbe institution.
