A special meeting of the State Board of Agriculture was held at the Hotel Downey, 4 p. m., April 28th, with President Kedzie, Messrs. Doherty, Waterbury, Woodman, and Graham present. Concerning the gift of $100,000 by Mr. Olds, the following resolutions were adopted: On the morning of March 5, 1916, Michigan Agri cultural College suffered the greatest physical loss in its history, by the burning of its entire engineering plant.

The Engineering Hall was relatively a new building, well equipped to carry on the work of the Engineering Division In and yet in the twinkling of an eye it had gone. the minds of the many friends of the College there arose the ghost of former opposition to its engineer ing course.

"Your last issue was just about-the best ever. Of course the good things that you had to publish; the election of Pres. Kedzie, the splendid gift of R. E. Olds, and the work of the Rifle Team helped, but aside from that, the make-up of the paper is very pleasing. I conducted the 'College news' depart ment of the Speculum in '91 and '92 and can appreciate, to some extent, how difficult it sometimes is to get good copy. I enjoyed the letters from Harry White and "Buck" Ewing very much. The only M. A. C. man near me is Bert Shedd, with '09, and we meet often as we are both members of township board. Shedd is supervisor and I am justice of the peace.
