Old Grads and Young Enjoy the Reunion .
'l'h e 1914 r eun io n bas passe d in t o hi story. It w ill
be often called to memory by th os.:! who we re pres
en t, for it maJ'ked seve ral events. Those who we re
fortunate e nough to be present witnessed th e gra d
uation of the larges t cla ss eye r to leave the doors
of t h e 1\'1. A. C., mOl'e
than 200 y oun g men and
women rpceiying deg rees.
It mark ed the first a ttempt at annual re union s
te rly to reduce the e nthusiasm. and good ·fell ow ship
was the order of th e day.
At
ten o'clock
the com mencement procession bp·
gan, when the sen iors and faculty. headed by the
band, t ook up Ih e mal'ell to the big tent. Th e long
line of black-clad g raduates . whose faces r eflected
to some exten t the regret which th ey felt at leavi ng
th e scenes of foul' years' Pleasure and profit. was
the most impressh'e .
by t he 1\1. A. C. alumni, and proved beyond
poss ibili ty of a doubt that such affa irs ca n, and will ,
be a success. 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. To say that the doctor en
joyed himself to th e limi t is puttin g it mildl y, in
deed. H e arr ived i\'londay afternoon. and was soon
follo wed by ot hers, a numbe r coming ea t'ly t o get
r eady.
H ea dquarters, in th e chapel, began to show signs
of activity at an ea rl y hour Tu esday morning, an
activity which
llntil mid-afternoon.
Greeti n gs of long-se parated fri end s filled th e a ir as
in and out of the room.

"A ll

MI'. Garfield.
Dr. Osborne was then called upon, and talked
upon his studies in Auburn prison as related t o the

open between 8 a. m. and 4 p. m. Eighteen maga
zines and papers were on the tables, and the num

The RECO IW
is just in receipt of a copy of the
magazine Arizona, a compliment from Clifford W.
McKibben, '11f, w~o is now a forest examiner in
the Apache National Forest. 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

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." Mc
Kibben was married to Miss Ruth Mead, '12, of De
troit, something mor e than a year ago. His address
is Springerville, Ariz.
GEO . E . LAWSON TO THE RESCUE.
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.
'Better farming' is one of the live and urgent topics
before the people of this counlry."

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
