E A ST LANSING, MICHIGAN, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1914. NO. 10 GREAT FINANCIAL STRINGENCY. No, not the college in general, but the alumni office in particular. With the begin ning of this t e rm there was a large renewal t h at enrollment, and also some new faces made us believe t h at all was clear sailing, but even now we think we can see breakers list, ahead. In looking over the mailing this which, by the way, is corrected with there issue, quite up to date, we find t h at are a large number of subscribers on the list whose subscriptions have already expired, or are soon to do so. We do not hesitate to speak of this matter, for this is your maga zine and no one wants to see it blow up. We are going to float along for some time yet, but we would like a line of encouragement from divers sources in order to keep the steam up and full speed ahead. If you have already sent in your contribu tion for this year and your mailing slip is not correct, this office will be very glad to make the correction. This has been neces sary in several cases, for although money is credited on the card of the sender as soon as received, we have found t h at there are mis takes possible before it appears on the mail ing list. ALUMNI NEWS. Permit me to make a suggestion in reply to your editorial appeal in the issue of Octo ber 20th for more news of the graduates. My judgment is t h at A. C. Burnham, '93, of Chicago, gave us the cue to success in this line in his article on this subject in the issue of J u ne 2d, last. Every word of the article is worth reading, but allow me to quote the last paragraph, as it is perhaps most to the point: "Why would it not be a good idea for the secretary of every local M. A. C. Association the actual in the United States to careers and accomplishments of the M. A. C. men in their locality, so far as possible, in more or less detail, and send them in a few at a time and have them printed in the RECORD? By this means every issue of the look up RECORD could carry a page of these little sketches, probably for two or three years. I am sure it would be of immense interest, not only to a few members of the alumni, but to all members of the alumni." Whenever I meet an M. A. C. acquaint is ance, about the first question is, "How Jones?" "Have you "What's he doing?" seen or heard from S m i t h ?" And so it goes; invariably hungry for news from old college acquaintances. Oftentimes haven't heard of them since leaving college. some systematic We are not going to get the news of our a r r a n g e graduates until ment is made to collect such news. The graduate himself will very rarely report any item regarding himself, as it appears to him too egotistical to sing his own praises or say much about himself in print. Then, too, he will rarely write because of the natural dis position of human nature to procrastinate. The only way we can do is to have some one interested enough in him to look him up and send in a report on him. In general, there is no one in closer touch with these old asso ciates of ours than the different secretaries of our local associations. Each local society is as much interested in the success of the RECORD as they are in other alumni matters, and t h at society should see to it t h at its sec retary reports items of interest to the REC ORD from If the secretary is unable to attend to this along with his other work, have a corresponding secretary ap pointed for t h at specific purpose. With this arrangement, even in fair working order, Mr. Burnham's ideal would be attained, and we would all be enjoying more news from the graduate than we ever had before. We have outgrown the time when the editor can handle this alone by a mere appeal to the graduates to "be good." We have a system in the building which can be made ideal for news gathering if we will only make use of it. Will we do it? its section. G. C. DAVIS, '89. J. W.

That a greater interest has been shown in keeping up the RECORD news columns is very evident from the large number of news items t h at have been sent in since the direct appeal of October 20th, and we wish to ex press our appreciation of this new form of enthusiasm. The article on "Alumni News," in another column should bring in many more of these items, if the suggestions are carried out. Someone start the custom, and we know t h at others will follow the prece dent. from these in other The idea of a permanent class secretary appointed during college days has met with considerable success institutions. This has been done with some classes t h at have graduated from M. ^. C, but as yet little has come in the way of news, and more emphasis will be placed on the selection of these secretaries in the fu ture and, if possible, a larger feeling of re instilled. We believe sponsibility will be t h at a permanent class secretary should have a card index of the members of his class, started during college, and continuing the individuals' record all through life. This, in addition to the record kept by the alumni secretary, would prove a valuable instru ment in keeping up the loyalty of the gradu ates, besides providing a means whereby each alumnus could be reached whenever financial or influential support is needed. Those in attendance from the college at the Bean Marketing Conference, held at Sag inaw last week, were Dean R. S. Shaw, Eben Mumford, W. O. Hedrick, and V. M. Shoe- smith. E. P. Robinson, '07, county agricul t u r i st of Saginaw county, is responsible for the calling of the meeting. the state throughout Arrangements have been made by Direc tor Baldwin, of the Extension Service of M. A. C, to hold about 50 of these one-week schools this winter. The idea of the one-week schools started in this state with Prof. French, in connection the agricultural high schools, some with three years ago. The success t h at they have met witn in the past, and the large demand t h at there has been this year, is ample evi dence t h at this is one of the most valuable lines of extension work yet instituted in this state. It is strictly a case of taking the col lege with its vast fund of information direct to the farmer. It has the advantage over the institute, in t h at the instructors are in the whole week, with the community for nothing else to take their attention. Con sequently, a much more detailed study of the various problems can be entered into, with more lasting results. This year, home eco nomics has been added to the list of subjects, and there are about twelve schools where week courses in home economics will be given. A far larger number of applications have . been made for this work t h an could be filled, on account of lack of instructors, and if any of the alumni wish to see something of this kind started in their community next year it is suggested t h at they apply at once, so t h at the application can surely be consider ed. These schools will be conducted where- ever 30 or more people agree to meet for a week and pay 50 cents each to the local com mittee for defraying local expenses. The expenses of the lecturers will be defrayed by the college. throughout This week schools will be held at Manton and Bellevue, and next week will see them conducted at Fremont, Blissfield and Hart- land. The following list of instructors will conduct the" work the winter: Miss Paulina Raven, home economics; W. F. Raven, live stock; O. K. White, horticulture; A. R. Potts, farm crops; C. A. Tyler, for e s t r y; C. W. Waid, small fruits; E. L. Grover, agricultural education; C. L. Brody, dairying; I. T. Pickford, horticulture; A. E. Robey, agricultural engineering; J. Wade Weston, farm crops. E. C. Douglas, '13, while teaching manual training at Hinsdale, 111., is also studying law at the Chicago Kent College, Chicago, 111. O. A. Kratz, '07, is chief draftsman in the city engineer's office at Portland, Ore., with residence at Ryan Station, Portland, Ore. THE M. A. C. RECORD. 5 NEWS AND COMMENT. ALUMNI NOTES.

The Columbian Literary Society enter tained informally at their house on Thanks giving day. Their fall t e rm p a r ty is sched uled for Dec. 5, in the Agricultural Hall. The band gave a promenade concert in the armory last Thursday afternoon, as an appreciation of the prompt response on the p a rt of the students in assisting to send t he band to Penn. State. The Eunomian fall term p a r ty occurred in the Agricultural Hall last Friday.

The exhibit was in charge of the senior electrical engineers. The thing t h at attracted the most attention was the wireless sending station, in charge of P. G. Andres, '15. The crash of the spark from this mach ine can be heard six to eight blocks. The annual venison roast held by the Olympic Society took place in Club A last Thursday night, 7 to 9. Dancing in the Ag ricultural Hall took place from 5 to 7 and 9 to 11. Patrons for the evening were Dean and Mrs. Bissell and Prof, and Mrs. Eustace. The old grads. present were Dr. Griffin, '10; Ralph Dodge, '14, and L. Smith, '14. The fellows danced in blue flannel shirts and red neckties—very informal. The feature of the evening was an old-fashioned square dance. Marion Sly and Francis Kirk, both of '14, stopped at the college on their way home last week. Lakin Brown, '10, was home for Thanks giving dinner. L. A. Smith, '14, is devoting his energies to building up a fruit farm at Sans Souci, Mich. C. C.

In the Los Angeles Tribune of November 13th, there appears a write-up of a fine re ception held by one of the boys of '81. "The reception held by the California F u r n i t u re Company yesterday afternoon and evening was a brilliant success. There was nothing unusual in the outlay of furniture, for the California Company always has the same tremendous stock on display. But there was something different in the reception tender ed by President Albert H.

Captain "Carp" Julian and Blake Miller are tile choice for the fullback and left end jobs respectively made by Walter Eckersall in picking the stars in the West for this mythical eleven. This brings a signal honor to M. A. C. for we are the only college, ex cept Illinois, having two men on the team, and it is a fitting reward for the two men who have battled so wisely and consistently. Julian is also the choice for captain of this all-star aggregation. Buck, of Wisconsin, is given the position of left "tackle; Chapman, Illinois, left guard; Des Jardien, Chicago, center; Routh, Purdue, right guard; Halli- gan, Nebraska, right guard; Solon, Minne sota, right end; Bergman, Notre Dame, quarterback; Pogue, left half; Maultbetsch, Michigan, right half. Illinois, M. A. C. BOYS WIN GREAT REPUTA TION AT PENN. STATE. Besides the fact that the laurels of victory rested with the M. A. C. football team in the Penn. State game, M. A. C. will be remem bered in this first invasion of the East as much by the conduct of the accompanying rooters as by the victory. The following clippings have been received at this office, and bear testimony that our students can act in a manner fully in accord with the ideas of good conduct: "For two days last week a party of more than 100 students from the Michigan Agricultural College made Belifonte their headquarters. Search Belifonte with a fine-tooth comb and you won't be able to find a person who has an unfavorable criticism to make of one of the party. There was nothing here espe cially to amuse them, yet they had a splendid time. But their idea of a good time was what puzzles us most, w hen we compare, it with other groups of col lege boys we have known. Therein lies the singular superiority of these Michigan Aggies. They cheered, and paraded the streets, and found out more about Bellfonte's history, her prominent citizens and in dustries, in 24 hours, than many boys who have lifetime here know. There was no spent rowdyism, no intoxication, no vulgarity, nothing that we wouldn't be happy to know that the students from everyone of our local institutions emulate, both here and abroad."—Bellefonte Watchman. their The Penn. State Collegian has this to say: "One of the cleanest and hardest fought football games in which a state team ever participated re sulted in a 6-3 Michigan Aggie victory last Friday before the largest crowd ever assembled on Beaver Field. Michigan may wrell be proud of all her rep resentatives that came east. The game itself was absolutely devoid of roughness, the Aggie band was THE M. A. C. RECORD. 7 a wonderfully the spirit of trained organization; the rooters was fine; and, best of all, every man was a thorough gentleman. While a contract with Lehigh prevents a return game next year, the stu dent body hopes that athletic relations will be re newed in the near future." The National Stockman and Farmer, of Pittsburgh, also has a w o r d: "The morning exercises on Pennsylvania Day, pre sided over most happily by Gov. Tener, were wholly informal. Short speeches-were made by the gov ernor and President Snyder of the Michigan Agri cultural College, himself a Pennsylvanian, who called attention to the trouble Penn. State had courted by inviting his football warriors to come here on Fri day, the 13th. And the trouble materialized when Michigan outplayed the Pennsylvanians and won a clean football victory by the score of 6-3." THE SPIRIT OF THE SHORT COURSE GRADUATES. in my the same "Everywhere travels about The following is an expression of opinion from one of M. A. C.'s extension w o r k e r s: the state I come in contact with men who have taken the work offered in one of our short courses in agriculture. These men are in variably successful farmers and useful mem bers of their community. But the character istic of these men which pleases me, and at time comes as a surprise, is their extreme loyalty toward M. A. C. It has convinced me t h at we are not all grateful or appreciative in proportion to what we receive. In many cases these short course graduates seem to have a better attitude and spirit toward their school than do some of us who have had the complete the privilege of courses. They have taken what it was pos sible for them to get, and have used this knowledge in a practical way. I find them proud of the fact t h at they have been stu dents here, and ready to recommend the in In most cases they re stitution to others. t u rn they to the community from which came, and hence become community build from home has ers. kept them in touch with home people and home conditions, and when they return they are in position to become local leaders in agricultural, educational and social progress.
