the 
evening  was  spent  in  getting  better  ac 
quainted,  made  easy  because  every  one 
was  tagged  with  their  name  and  class 
to  which  they  belonged.  After  all  the 
guests  had  arrived,  Prof.  Clinton  called 
upon  different  members  to  give  either 
a  five-minute 
stunt, 
whichever  had  been  delegated  to  them 
on  the  cards  previously  given  out.  No

Delicious  punch  was  served  in  the  din

the  old  M.  A.  C.  fellows  that  he  still

THE  M.  A.  C.  RECORD. 

Tuesday.  His  trip  to  Turkestan,  made 
in  1902,  was  as  a  collector  of  seeds  for 
the  U.  S.  Government.  Besides  giving 
a  description  of  the  methods  of  grow 
ing  alfalfa  in  that  country  Dr.  Bessey 
described  very  interestingly  the  modes 
of  living  and  types  of  people  he  en 
countered.  Plans  for  the  Mock  Auc 
tion  Sale  which  is  to  be  held  Feb.  19th, 
were  also  discust  at  this  meeting. 
the 
Dr.  Ward  Giltner  spoke  before 
Veterinary  Medical  Association  Thurs 
day  evening  on  the  subject,  "The  Rela 
tion  of  the  Laboratory  Scientist  to  the 
Practicing  Veterinarian."  The  doctor 
emphasized  the  fact  that  the  veterin 
arian  must  be  a  good  laboratory  man 
and  know  thoroly  all  phases  of  veter 
inary  science  in  order  to  really  appre 
ciate  what  the  laboratory  can  do  for 
him.  The  program  was  followed  by  a 
business  session  at  which  14  new  men 
were  elected  to  membership  in  the  as 
sociation. 

An  electiv  course  in  Military  Science 
is  to  be  introduced  into  the  curriculum 
at  the  University  of  Michigan  begin 
ning  with  the  next  school  year  if  plans 
laid  down  at  the  Regents'  meeting  last 
week  materialize.  Why  not  bring 
some  of  the  university  students  and 
others  from  the  various  state  colleges 
to  M.  A.  C.  this  summer  and  conduct 
a  state  student  military  camp?  M.  A. 
C.  has  the  room,  senior  officers  to  in 
struct  in  the  fundamentals,  and  regu 
lar  army  officers  to  partly  supervise 
the  project. 

Faculty  members  at  M.  A,  C.  who 
favor  preparedness  might  well  follow 
the  example  set  by  60  members  of  the 
faculty  of  Cornell  University  who  hav 
enrold  for  one  hour  military  drill  per 
week.  This  might  add  little  to  the 
defensiv  strength  of  the  United  States 
(no  offense  to  the  faculty  members) 
but  would  undoubtedly  create  a  bet 
ter  understanding  of  what  prepared 
ness  means. 
In  this  connection  it  is 
that  seniors  at 
interesting 
Cornell  hav  voluntarily  organized  a 
company  for  drill. 

to  note 

The  annual  conference  of  Deans  of 
Women  of  Colleges  of  Michigan  which 
was  held  at  M.  A.  C.  last  week  was 
attended  by  Mrs.  Durfee  of  Hope,  Miss 
Boland  of  Adrian,  Miss  White  of  Ypsi-
lanti,  Miss  Burt  of  Mt.  Pleasant,  Miss 
Spindler  of  Kalamazoo  Normal,  Miss 
Evans  of  Olivet,  Miss  Pickett  of  Hills 
dale  and  Miss  White  of  M.  A.  C.  The 
girls'  society  rooms  were  prettily  deco 
rated  for  the  meetings,  social  features 
of  which  were  a  luncheon  by  the  Home 
Economics  Department,  afternoon  tea 
by  the  Omicron  Nu  girls,  and  a  theater 
party  in  Lansing. 

Reed  College,  at  Portland,  Oregon, 
was  opened  in  1911  with  some  unique 
characteristics.  The  following  clipping-
brings  out  one: 
"Eighty  per  cent,  of

in  the  inter-mural  athletic  activities.

ship,  and  also  are  unduly  expensive. 
The  expense  of  athletics  averages  16 
cents  a  student  for  one  year. 
In  brief,

Alfred  G.  Gulley,  '68,  professor  of 
horticulture  at  Connecticut  Agricul 
tural  College,  aroused,  some  thirteen 
years  ago,  considerabl  interest  in  the 
production  of  "potato  seed"  when  he 
said  in  a  lecture  in  the  first  summer 
school  of  nature  study,  "All  berries

article  in  the  Literary  Digest  for  the 
past  week  (Feb.  5th)  on  "Wanted: 
Potato  Seed."  This  article  deplores 
the  passing  of  the  potato  seed  and 
asks  the  question,  "What  shall  we  do 
when  all  our  present  varieties  of  po 
tatoes  has  'run  out?' "  J.  W.  Weston, 
'14,  one  of  the  potato  authorities  at  M. 
A.  C,  says  that  potato  seed  by  the 
quart  can  be  secured 
the  Upper 
Peninsula.  The  statement  has  been 
made  further  that  there  is  no  troubl 
about  potatoes  "running  out"  if  selec 
tion  of  seed  is  practiced.

The  American  Magazine  for  Febru 
ary  features  an  article  on  "How  to 
Teach  Morals  to  Boys  and  Girls"  by 
Kay  Stannard  Baker,  '89.  The  man 
who  has  workt  out  the  "dramatic  de 
vise  for  improving 
the  character  of 
children"  as  pictured  in  this  article  is 
Milton  Fairchild,  born  on  the  M.  A. 
C.  campus,  a  son  of  George  Fairchild, 
professor  of  English  literature  at  M. 
A.  C.  from 
'65  to  '79.  Milton  Fair-
child's  central  idea  is  that  boys  and 
girls  ought  in  their  school  work  to  re 
ceive  instruction  in  morals  and  he  be 
lieves  the  best  way  this  can  be  accom 
plish!  is  to  place  before  them  photo 
graphs  of  human  affairs. 
In  order  to 
do  this  he  had  to  invent  a  new  kind 
of  camera—probably  the  only  one  of 
its  kind  in  existence,  and  with 
this 
he  can  take  36  photographs  a  minute 
on  glass  plates.  With  the  aid  of  the 
National  Institution  for  Moral  Instruc 
tion,  which  Fairchild  organized,  this 
course  of  instruction  has  been  pre

set  a  precedent  by  having  letters  from 
them?  The  boys  of  '13  call  for  letters 
from  the  men  but  let  us  have  some 
from  the  girls.  Alida  Dearborn  Fisher,
