A  program  had  been  prepared  and  speeches  were 
made  by  A.  K.  Chittenden,  "Herb"  Hall,  '15,  and 
"Fat"  Ewing,  '15.  Prof.  Chittenden  called  attention 
to  the  fact  that  lumbermen  and  foresters  were  now 
co-operating,  where,  formerly  it  was thought  that  the 
forester  could  only  work  where  lumbermen  had  been 
before.  He  also  said  that  there  were  fewer  idle  men 
in  forestry 
than  in  any  other  profession  and  that 
the  demand  was  growing.  As  evidence  of  this  letter 
it  might  be  said  that  every  senior  and  junior  has 
accepted,  or  is  considering,  a  position  at  the  present 
time.  Following  the set  program  all  the  seniors  were 
called  on  for  impromptu  talks,  also  Instructor  Gil-
son  and  Prof.  Sanford,  the  latter  of  whom  called  at 
tention  to  the  fact  that  the  study  of  forestry  has 
much  value  outside  of  the  technical  field.  To  prove 
his  point  he  read  unsolicited  letters  from  two  former 
foresters,  not  now  in  forestry  work,  who  expressed 
the  opinion  that  they  could  not  have  taken  a  course 
that  would  have  been  more  broadening  or  fitted 
them  better  for  their  present  work. 

The  Howard  City  Farm  Boosters  swept  down  on 
M.  A.  C.  last  Wednesday  thirty-five  autos  and  one 
hundred  and  fifty  men  strong.  The  party  consisted 
of  prominent  farmers,  bankers  and  business  men  in 
terested  in  agriculture.  They  spent  Wednesday  look 
ing  over  the  campus  and  buildings  and  Thursday  on 
the  College  farm.  One of  the men was a  short  course 
graduate  and  he  celebrated  his  return  to  the  College 
by  buying  three  thoroughbred  heifers.  On  Wednes 
day  evening  the  top  floor  of  the  Agricultural  Build 
ing  was  the  scene  of  a  very  successful  get-together. 
Talks  were  enjoyed  by  Dean  Shaw,  Dean  Bissell,  Sec 
retary  Brown,  Dean  Lyman,  and  George  Brown. 
Many  favorable  comments  on  M.  A.  C.  were  heard 
and  only  one  thing  marred  the  pleasure  of  the  visit. 
This  was  in  the  form  of  another  of  the  so-called 
pranks  which  have  been  perpetrated  in  this  vicinity 
recently.  One  of  the  autos  belonging  in  the  party 
was  taken  by  some  joy  riders.  As  soon  as  the  theft 
was  found  out  the  Lansing  police  were  put  on  the 
trail.  The  car  finally  turned  up  down  by  the  White 
then 
Elephant  with  nothing  damaged.  The  owner 
drove-it  into  town  but  was  accosted  by  the  police 
who  had  the  number  of  the  supposedly  missing  car 
and  the  man  was  compelled  to  go  to  the  police  court 
to  prove  his  ownership.  Such  an  incident,  as  this 
might  easily  undo  all the good  advertising  that  would 
result  from  such  a  pilgrimage. 

THE  1915  WOLVERINE 

Made 

its  first  appearance  at 

the  band  concert 
last  Wednesday  evening,  when  500  copies  were  dis 
posed  of  in  a  short  time.  Fine  pictures  of  the  stu 
dents,  excellent  pen sketches and representative  views 
and  write-ups  of  all  the  college  activities  make  this 
anmial  one  to  be  highly  prized. 

This  Wolverine  is  appropriately  dedicated  to  Pres 
ident  Snyder.  There are five sections divided  by color 
ed  inserts,  there  are  five  inserts  bearing  designs  and 
inscriptions  of great  merit. 

Anticipating  a demand  among  the  Alumni  arrange 
ments  have  been  made  so that  during  commencement 
week  the  book  can  be  obtained  at  the  College  book 
store.
