MECHANICAL ENGINEERING. in determining The course in steam engine design, formerly given in the fall term, has been switched to the winter term, in accordance with plans of Assistant Profes sor Greenman, and a text has been adopted for the work this term which outlines every step in design, in detail. There will be no drawings, so that most of the time will be employed the principal dimensions of a complete engine, using graphical and analytical methods. This change in to this course where schedule gives four credits three were formerly allotted, and it also places the jig and fixtures design three credits, and makes of it an elective, or offers a choice between it and in machine tool design. The latter course is considered of much greater importance, and hence will be chosen over the other, which was required. These changes also put gas power engineering in the fall, and make of it a required course. The new ar rangement is felt to be decidedly superior in se quence, and also in the fact that it offers better opportunity for selection of those courses which are most important commercially. in the spring, with the course formerly A considerable improvement has been made in the drawing standards in this department, which makes them fit in with the new filing scheme. A card index is kept of all drawings, containing on each card such specific information as (1) to when made, (2) on what other drawings it appears, (3) -changes it made in design, and (4) symbols which make possible to find immediately the drawing or draw ings desired. With this is associated a card index of all patterns which are symbolized and arranged according to system in the pattern room. The system of cataloging catalogs is also worthy of mention. An attempt is made to secure the latest editions-- of catalogs of all kinds of mechanical equip ment, and these are indexed, first alphabetically and then by the important items, making it possible to find quickly an illustration of any article desired. This index, together with the catalogs, will be found in the Engineering Library, all thin catalogs and pamphlets being in letter files and the more bulky ones in sectional book case units. It is probable that the several engineering departments will turn their catalogs over to the man specially in charge of this work in the library, who will be able to give sufficient time so that all new catalogs are indexed properly and old ones removed. The Lunkemheimer Co., of Cincinnati, has pre sented to the mechanical department a stand of samples, including oil cups, grease cups, whistle, pop valve, injector and blow off valve. It repre sents a comprehensive sample of every kind of en in a power plant. This gineering specialty used company has also given a set of full scale blue large varieties of valves and prints, other power plant equipment. illustrating REORGANIZATION OF GRADUATE WORK. The following resolution, which has been adopted by faculty action, puts the organization of graduate work upon a different basis than it has been in the past: Resolved, That hereafter the matter of graduate study and professional and higher degrees be left with the dean of each department, and such sub committees as he may select, with the further pro viso that the deans shall form a permanent com to the faculty all mittee, which shall recommend candidates for advanced degrees. remain The committee in charge of this work in the past, which was one of the standing committees of the faculty appointed by the president, has been discon tinued, but the regulations and requirements for ad vanced degrees and advanced study the same. These were given in our issue of Oct. 20, 1914. This committee of deans, which includes Dean R. S. Shaw, Dean Georgia White, Dean R. P. Lyman, and Dean G. W. Bissell, has expressed a willingness to assume responsibility for the direction of post graduate work, but feels that it should not be en cumbered with details except in important cases, such as (1) safeguarding regulations and standards proposed now changes, (2) passing upon all applications and de tails pertaining thereto, (3) recommending to the faeulty all candidates for advanced degrees. The committee further recommends that a secretary be instructors, selected from who will have permanent charge of this work. This latter recommendation is already being acted upon. the faculty or force of recommending existence and in Ed. Smith, '12, recently visited friends in Wash ington, attended the A. A. A. S. meeting in Phila delphia, and spent the holidays, with his parents at Lodi, N. Y., before going back to Grimsby, Ontario, where he is engaged in fruit cold storage work for the government. 4 THE M. A. C. RECORD. T HE M. A. C.

THE NEW VETERINARY BUILDING. REUNIONS. According to the adopted plan for alumni re unions, which plan you will see in full by consult ing your March 3d issue of last year, t he classes which a re slated to be back this year a re as follows: '61, '62, '63, '64, '80, '81, '82, '83, '99, '00, '01, '02, 1 3. Besides these, t he class of '95, which will hold its 20th anniversary, h as already begun plans for a big celebration, a nd is in fact t he only class t h at we have heard from definitely. The class of '13 is the only one of t he " y o u n g s t e r s" t h at is scheduled, but large n u m b e rs of all t he we naturally expect t h at recent ones will be on hand. While it is a little early yet for many individuals who do not fall in the above mentioned classes, to tell whether it will be possible for them to be here and if they a re planning on it, yet a word from anyone is almost sure to m a ke some one else decide. May we hear from you? And of those classes regularly scheduled according to t he Dix plan, it is none too early for t he members to start agitation to bring back t he largest possible number. The columns of t he RECORD a re open to reunion plans, and we hope to hear from active members of these classes, and as we said before, everyone is we'come.

We have at least 25 graduates in Grand Rap least ids and should become affiliated with this club, not only to uphold the reputation of M. A.

All who can find time to inspect the new building are invited to do so at their earliest opportunity. EIGHT WEEKS SHORT COURSES.

The total enrollment was 260, which, with the 160 en rolled in the "long" short course, makes the total 460, the largest number of people that ever took the winter courses at M. A. C.

"No person could come .in contact with such men for ever so short a time and not carry away more of value, many times over, than what he could give. Money cannot always measure value."—W. T. LAXG- LEY. We are very glad to report that the Portrait Fund is very deservedly receiving contributions with al most every mail. One gratifying thing about it is that recent graduates, who never came in contact with these great men and who received no direct benefit of their work, have a feeling of willing re sponsibility to the M. A. C. that Dr. Miles and Presi dent Fairchild made possible. The following is the list of subscribers this last week: Robert W. Hemp hill, Jr., '85; W. T. Langley, '82; J. C. Green, ex-'Ol; B. F. Davis, ex-'66; A. B. Turner, '81; E. D. A. True, '78; J. E. W. Tracy, '96. David Starr Jordan has been selected to give the Commencement address next June. The Hesperian winter term party will be held the 16th of this month, in the Agricultural building. There are 66 juni rs taking mechanical engineering laboratory this term, and 24 senior mechanicals. Dr. Edward Hofma, state senator from Grand Haven, is taking short course work in bacteriology. A petition for military training and service in the University was presented to the University Regents at their November meeting. The Union Literary Society held a "ten o'clock" last Saturday night, with Mrs. Landon and Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Gunson as patrons. The old dairy building can no longer be referred to as such, for the stone masons are cutting off the word "Dairy" above the door, and "Forestry" will be placed in its stead. A new Ott current meter with float attachment has just been received by the civil engineering depart ment from Germany, making a very valuable addition to the equipment of the department. Less than one per cent, of the young people of America go to college—and the names of over 50 per cent, of these are in Who's Who in America. found A new full unit Fairbanks-Morse electric power plant for the farm has been installed in the farm mechanics laboratory, and will be used by the short course men. The annual meeting of the Michigan Improved Live Stock Breeders' Lnd Feeders' Association will take place at the College, Jan. 13th and 14th. A host of good things are scheduled for the meeting, and besides the regular program, the banquet Wednes day evening is a great attraction. Fifteen new students came in for the regular work at the beginning of the winter term. Eight of these are graduates of high schools, and represent those who were unable to start at the beginning of the regular school year. The other seven are all enter ing on advanced credit. One of these has an A. B., and several of the others are graduates of normals. The University of Michigan will conduct, in Feb ruary, a one week's course for the benefit of county, township, and state highway engineers, and for highway officials of the state. F. F. Rogers, M. A. C. '83, of Lansing, will be one of the speakers. It seems a pity that Mr. Rogers should have to go so far from home to address a gathering of this kind. Dr. Beal writes: "On December 19, Ned Milton Fairchild, son of former President Fairchild, made us a short visit. Since 1906 he has been engaged in a unique service, for which he gave up the position of pastor of a church. This work led to efforts to establish in Baltimore, Md., a National Institute for Moral Instruction, now incorporated. The instruc tion is well systematized, consisting of illustrated lectures to children in schools and older people who are interested in philanthropy. Many courses of lec tures have been given to students in college. Presi dent K. L. Butterfield is very much taken up with this work, and is planning to secure some of the lectures for the short courses at Massachusetts Agri cultural College next summer."

"I think many of the boys of '92 to '97 will be interested to learn that the old songs that they used to applaud so vociferously during our college days again scored a triumph during Farmers' Week at Penn. State, when 'Kitty of Colerain' was encored by the audience, and 'Old Man Moses' made his little bow and was even more loudly applauded. Also 'The Little Farm' was exploited,"—M. G. KAIXS, '95. the same week "Through the efforts of R. C, Potts, '06, the dairy farmers Of Oklahoma are to have a real treat on Jan. 13, in the way of a select dairy program. During that 'One-Week Farmers' Short Course' is conducted at this place. This is a school very similar to the Farmers' Week at M. A. C. My work here is continually increasing in interest and opportunity,"—D. A. SPENCER, '12, Stillwater, Okla. One of the prominent addresses at the meeting of the American Association for Advancement of Sci ence was "The Place of Research and Publicity in the Forthcoming Country Life Development," by L. H. Bailey, '82, who is vice chairman of the recently created section of the general association known as section M, which represents agriculture. This ad dress will doubtless be published in scientific jour nals, and will command unusual interest. H. R. Allen, '95, writes Kains that it has been im possible for him so far to attend any of the alumni gatherings at M. A. C, since graduation since his va cation does not coincide. He writes, however, that he may be present.next summer, when '95 will cele brate its twentieth anniversary. The '95 boys will be interested to learn that he has changed very little since graduation, except a slight increase in weight. Unlike some of the others, he still has a thick hatch on his pate, and since he still keeps athletics, he is as young in spirit as ever. E. F. Smith, '06, writes: "Last week we enjoyed a brief visit from L. J. Smith, '06, who was down from Winnipeg. He gave us quite a favorable im pression of the Cannucks. He is the same Smith I used to know at M. A. C, except his features are a little more like the stately "Prof." than as I re member him Over in 'Old Wells.'
