C. has been raised in the estimation of universities in the middle west is attested to by several letters on file at the President's office. These letters came as a result of a request by President Snyder of the several uni versities to state just where graduates of M. A. C. stood in the matter of time necessary to secure ad It is generally conceded that M. vanced degrees. A. C. in the past has not pushed the matter of gradu ate study so that President Snyder felt that some ' definite information was needed so that graduates of this institution could be advised just how much their preparation would count towards advanced study. The result of these inquiries is highly satis factory and brings much credit on the recent pro gress of M. A. C. It is felt that the abolishment of the prep, course has had much to do with this - better standing. The University of Michigan will admit any stu dent for advanced degree who has been recommend ed for the State College Fellowship, or any graduate from the four-year course who presents a good rec ord of undergraduate work. Letters have been re ceived from the Universities of Illinois, Chicago, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Missouri, stating that they will accept our graduates upon the same basis as the University of Michigan. All of them stipulate that the graduate must have had the full fifteen credits needed in preparation for entrance to M. A. C. in order to come in the above category. Cornell Uni versity has held up the bars longest, but have now- ruled that candidates from M. A. C. for advanced study shall first complete one term of residence, where formerly one year was required. And even this qualification is overruled in case where a can didate is very strongly recommended by the faculty of M. A. C. as having had superior preparation and high scholarship. (Incidently it may be stated that in the case of Robert M. Snyder, who graduated from M. A. C. last year, exception was taken from the general rule and his application for the doctors de gree dated from time of entrance.) PANAMA-PACIFIC REUNION. The date for the M. A. C. reunion to be held in San Francisco at the Panama Pacific Exposition this year has finally been settled as August 12th. The Association of Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Stations meets August 11th to 13th, and it was felt that probably a larger number of M. A. C. people from- the East would be in San Francisco at this time than at any other. The M. A. C. Associations of Northern and Southern California will put forth every effort to see that this meeting is a great suc cess and every M. A. C. man and woman who expects to attend the Exposition this summer should plan to do so, if possible, so they can be present at the big time, August 12th. It is really indescribable; R. T. Stevens, '05a, assistant professor of landscape gardening and floriculture at the University of Cali fornia, has this to say in regard to the Exposition: "We alumni in this part of the world are looking forward with great pleasure to next August and the reunion of all M. A. C. people who come to our fair at that time. We have a show the like of wmich was never before. the single item of color has at once made it different from all others, but it is not alone color that makes it differ its site, its courts, its architecture and its ent; atmosphere, all combine to impress us with the pos sibilities of life. At night the whole scene is again different and in a truly wonderful manner. The buildings glow with soft reds and greens, while tow ers stand out as though they were living coals, in candescent—but it is futile to attempt to tell of what must be seen. "I wish you would impress upon your readers the date of the reunion and the importance of the oppor tunity to See the greatest show on earth." PURDUE M. A. C. ASSOCIATION. Ind., has a Purdue University, Lafayette, live bunch of M. A. C. boosters. Saturday night, April 10th, sixteen of them met at the West Lafayette Club for an informal dinner and social evening. Ten of those present were graduates or former students of M. A. C, the other six being the lucky wives or hus bands, who w_ere admitted as associate members. Stories and memories of college life, especially those by the earlier graduates, brought out unsus pected events in the lives of several of the usually staid Purdue professors. After failing to agree on a suitable successor to President Snyder, those as sembled did agree that a Purdue M. A. C. Association would be well worth while, and proceeded to elect Prof. James Troop, '78, president, and L. L. Jones, '12, secretary. Future meetings were planned. Those attending, with their present position at Purdue University, were as follows: W. C. Latta, 78, professor of agriculture; James Troop, '78, pro fessor of entomology; Mrs. Troop; C. G. Woodbury, '04, professor of horticulture; Mrs. Woodbury; J. G. in horticulture; Mrs. Boyle; Boyle, 1)8, associate Lovina Merick Caldwell, ex-'08; Prof. Caldwell; Zoe McConnell Edgerton, ex-'09; Prof. Edgerton; Etha Child McCartney, ex-'ll; Prof. McCartney; P. W. Mason, '12, instructor in entomology; B. P. Pattison, '12, baseball coach; L. L. Jones, 12, extension poultry- man. F. W. Howe, who received his M. S. degree from M. A. C. in 1909, has been since 1913 dean of the College of Agriculture at Syracuse University. This is the only college of agriculture in America main taining a four-years' university course that has no appropriation from the state or national government. It is maintained on an endowment, founded by Mrs. Russell Sage. 4 THE M. A. C. RECORD. T HE M. A. C.

Getting the settler on the land is al ways the slowest feature of reclamation work. systematic The following two years after graduation Mr. Car penter spent in practical work. He received the de gree of Master of Science in 1883. F r om '81 to '87 he was assistant in mathematics at M. A. C, being m a de an assistant professor at t h at time, in which capacity he served for one year. Later he was pro the Colorado fessor of engineering and physics at Agricultural College; irrigation engineer of the Colo rado Experiment Station, and in irrigation expert the the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture. He organized first in in engineering and vestigation along t h at line in 1888, and was special in government 1890. He was state engineer of Colorado and has taken an important p a rt in the West. He was called into the case of the govern ment vs. Rio Grande dam as an expert, and as con sulting engineer and expert representing Colorado in the Kansas-Colorado water controversy.

T he Albion boys were t he worst offenders in t he m a t t er of errors a nd While ihe high score is in p a rt due to t he poor pitching of Campbell, h is support went to pieces several times.
