The Forest of Arden on the M. A. C. campus furnished an ideal setting for the open-air performance of "Twelfth Night" by the Dramatic Club last Mon day evening. The production added one more success to the long list of achievements of Prof. E. S. King, who directed rehearsals for the play. And the occasion was one of the first of the red letter events in the commencement program. No little talent was demonstrated by the student actors, who with charac teristic student enthusiasm and vim made the most of the comedy. H u gh M. Van Aken, as S ir Andrew Ague- cheek, and Leigh Nason, in t he p a rt of Sir Toby Belch, were exception ally good in these roles, while E v e r e tt G. Smith, as Malvolio, presented t h is ordinary character with more ability. In the feminine p a r ts Miss Florence Stoll, as Olivia; M i s s ' G r a ce Anderson, as Viola, and Miss Marjorie Black, as Olivia's woman, were all of them charming. t h an Others who appeared successfully in the cast were L y m an L. Frimodig, as Orsino; George Miller, as Sebastian: William Clark, as F a b i a n; F r ed M. Tresise, as Feste; W. A. Davison, as Fabian, and H. G. Cooper, as Curio. A reception was tendered Prof. V. T. Wilson at t he residence of Prof, and Mrs. Chace Newman on the evening of J u ne 8th. The event was in t he testimonial for n a t u re of a farewell Prof. Wilson whose resignation takes effect August 31st. The staff of the drawing d e p a r t m e nt were the guests of the evening, also Dean and Mrs. Bissell. Music was furnished by Miss Colvin and Mr. H. A. Iddles and a luncheon was served, after which Prof. Wilson was presented with a picnic lunch kit. 4 THE M. A. C. RECORD. THE M. A. C.

So far as I know t h is is the first the subscribers t h at of the RECORD have ever been numer ous enough the printing, en graving, a nd other bills incident to its publication. This achievement, how ever, is nothing to be especially proud of. The wonder the alumni is did not rally to its support sufficiently in the past. And I do not t h i nk t h at It seems to me we w a nt to stop here. t h at the alumni ought to pay all the r u n n i ng expenses of the secretary's of fice. It cannot be questioned t h at the alumni of M. A. C. are a distinct asset to the College, t h at they are loyal, and will rally to its support. The College recognizes tremendous this asset. But to my mind this only makes the responsibility greater and demands to extend greater effort on our p a rt t he sphere of influence of our Alma Mater. The the best local. association working unit. We now have twenty- two branch associations, four of which this past year. have been organized Two of these new ones are in Michi gan, at Benton Harbor and Kalama zoo; one is at Milwaukee, a nd one at Philadelphia. Altogether these asso ciations have a membership list of over two thousand one hundred alumni and former association meets in an a n n u al meeting and most have several other meetings a nd lun cheons d u r i ng the year. At these an n u al meetings I have estimated the total attendance at some t h i ng over 1,500. in a the meetings of these various local M. A. for C. associations are almost purely students. Each superficial way the past year Viewed is a t h at is t h at social purposes. And they a re worth this. But I am the trouble j u st for sure if we look beneath the surface we will find in cementing they aid the former students to the college and in many ways forwarding the interest of all. As the these organization becomes perfected branches will be able to do much con structive work. time goes on and to t h at While I expect t h e re will be a n o t h er report on the m a t t er I w a nt the to call your attention briefly the encouraging stu a l u m ni fund for dents in public speaking.

The past year this committee has held two meetings and I t h i nk the association is greatly indebted to the members of this committee for the work they have done, particularly to the members from away who have given of time and money to m a ke these meetings a success. I espe cially w a nt to mention the names of Henry A. Haigh, '74, of Detroit; Mrs. '93, of Chicago; J. P. B. Woodworth, '82, of Detroit; A. C. W. Beaumont, '95, of Bay City; C. A.

Association ought to do some constructive work for M. A. C. each year. L a st year we presented p o r t r a i ts of Miles and Fairchild. This year we have started the M. A. C.

In the opinion of those who have attended many reunions, and who really ought to known, t he third an nual reunion meeting of the M. A. C. Association has gone down in history as being the most enthusiastic, and one which will be most productive of results, of all the meetings of former students and alumni ever held. From the time of call to order by President Haigh until to adjourn, the motion alumni enthusiasm and loyalty reigned supreme. One of the particularly s t r i k i ng mo the alumni mass meeting, in ments which was held in College Hall on Wednesday afternoon, was the report of A. MacVittie, '11, of Bay City.

A. C. Association for $100. He further said t h at he believed the various local associations would rally to the support of this fund and t h at the desired sum of $1,000 could easily be raised. Following MacVittie's for work The program started with a reading of the secretary's report. This appears elsewhere in this issue. to President Kedzie was then called on for a brief address and was given a tremendous ovation. He called atten tion t he disaster which had be fallen the college the past year, stated some of his visions for the future, and asked the a l u m ni for their enthusias tic sympathy. W. O. Hedrick, c h a i r m an of the com mittee on M. A. C. Union which was appointed at the reunion in 1915, then outlined w h at had been done by this committee d u r i ng the past year. J u d ge C. B.

He said, "President Kedzie recently asked you for your 'enthusiastic sympathy.' He wants more t h an that. He w a n ts your enthusiastic support. And if I am any judge as to the way t he wind is blow ing he is going to get it, too. This M. A. C. Association, to which we are so proud to belong, is capable of doing tremendous good for M. A.

E A ST L A X S I X C, M I C H ., J u ne 8, 1916^ My Dear E d i t o r: — It would to r e t u rn indeed seem, through my peculiar advantages of being able so frequently to t he campus, and at the same time to get out among the people of the state, t h at it would be possible for me to m a ke some ob servations on the things as I find them here, and the way the people outside of L a n s i ng regard the college and its work. This h as been true, and as the time approaches for a n o t h er class to graduate, one cannot help but note the changes which have been made, and the steps which have been taken for w a rd since a year ago. This year h as seen two very im p o r t a nt milestones in M. A. C.'s his tory, the coming of a new m an to the president's chair a nd t he destruction of the Engineering Building. The praises of Dr. Kedzie have been set t h an mine, forth by far abler pens a nd what feeble utterances the writer c o u l d . m a ke would be but a meagre addition lofty esteem held by the army of men and women who have worked under h im a nd other wise associated with him either during college days or afterwards. Dr. Sny der's resignation left a big place to fill, a place capable of being occupied Only by a m an with broad and p r o g r e s sive vision, and a determination to keep t h is college at the forefront of honest endeavor. Dr. Kedzie is rec ognized by everyone as t h at sort of a man, both among the student body and among t he people of t he state. to the already rapidity The burning of the Engineering Building was at once a terrible mis- f o r t u n e a nd a benefit. A misfortune in that it was the source of the loss of thousands of dollars to t he college and t he state. But to me it seemed it gave an an actual benefit in t h at tremendous opportunity to show what recuperative powers the college actual- 1- ha'i and demonstrated with w h at r e m a r k a b le the administra tion and student body recovered from w h at at the time seemed a blow of annihilation. W i t h in a few h o u rs after the fire was at its height p l a ns were u n d er way for t he holding of classes the following day, and I am told t h at not a single recitation w as i n t e r r u p t ed by t he catastrophe. W i t h in a few days ptans had been drawn for the recon struction of t he building on a larger and better scale, a nd with t he gener ous gift of R. E. Olds, all fears t h at M. A. C. m i g ht lose h er engineering courses (as some of her critics pre dicted) were swept away. Such spirit is seldom friendly found, a nd such and helpful co-operation between stu dents a nd faculty is rare. Of course the school h as upheld h er platform, fields, the t he reputation on the athletic debating drill and grounds. M. A. C. would not be M. A. C. if she did not do these t h i n g s. We can assure those graduates who have not h ad an opportunity to r e t u rn t h at the cheering is just as loud, t he ex citement is just as great nowadays as when they used to " R ub it into Michi gan." Some rattling good new songs and yells have been adopted which should m a ke t he opposing teams slink away from sheer inability to compete. With "preparedness" s u r c h a r g i ng t he political atmosphere, t he M. A. C. regi m e nt the state how the war game should be played, a nd a crowd of 7,000 at the recent field day demonstrates they are appreci ated. is showing t h at the RECORD, and In closing, allow me to state my appreciation of its work generally in connection with t he alumni activities. . Despite my oppor tunity to witness many of the college events, the arrival of the RECORD each week looked-for event, and its reading a distinct pleasure. Very truly yours, is a DONALD A. STROH. '15. Editor, M. A. C. RECORD:— There a re so m a ny things for which to commend M. A. C. t h at I could sing her praises through a quarto volume, and so few severe criticisms t h at can be made t h at I could scarcely discover anything original to disapprove. So I will neither commend nor chastise at this time. serious However, I have consideration by recently heard a suggestion which I believe should be given the State Board of Agriculture and t he Extension Service of the College. This is the publication of a weekly bulletin for free circulation among t he farmers, similar to t h at put out by the state of sta Idaho a nd other experiment tions. I have This is nowise intended to interfere with t he regular bulletins, but would encourage augment them a nd even their use. in mind a small sheet with a half dozen timely articles and a "Questions and Answers" col umn,, which could be put out at a com paratively low cost, even with the em ployment of a special editor to collect a nd a r r a n ge material. The articles would be suggested by the farmers themselves in a large num ber of instances, and t he faculty a nd instructors would corps of entire doubtless, be glad to offer their occa sional services as contributors. My observations convince me t h at this would be a most excellent addi tion to t he use which the people of Michigan find in their agricultural col lege, and would tend to further their in, a nd desire for co-operation faith with, the institution whose interests we of the M. A. C. Association are t h at we should encourage It seems to me pledged to advance. this fitting step and enlist both t he farmers of the state a nd t he college communitv to its support. Yours very truly, G. K. F I S H E R. '15-F. M. A. C.

Fellow Classmates: — A n u m b er of things have happened in the last couple of days t h at have vividly b r o u g ht back t he scenes of June, 1915, when we were the prin cipal actors. Something is happening now t h at r e m i n ds me of nearly every day this spring—a downpour of rain. However, we h ad a beautiful day yes terday for meeting old friends and a good evening for "cap night." W h en t he a l u m ni lined up to iead the procession over to the bonfire, the '15 delegation was the largest of all. I say t h is in face of t he fact t h at some of t he '14 bunch will take exception to it. But, anyway, it was their offi cial reunion, while ours comes next year. My p r i m a ry purpose in w r i t i ng this is to boost for a big bunch out in 1917. Although '15 will always be out in n u m b e rs at these events we ought to be here with at least three-fourths of our " g a n g" next year, for according to the plan adopted by o ur A l u m ni THE M.

Next week will m a rk t he passing of t he class of 1915 as freshmen in the school of " h a rd knocks" a nd it is t h at I with t he greatest of pleasure have noted from time to time in t he RECORD, t he prosperous condition of the m e m b e rs of our class. Many of .hem, I note, having become dissatis fied with t he old state of affairs, have cast t h e ir h at in t he r i ng a nd a re now experiencing t he joys ( ?) of so-called "double blessedness."

If only a line or two, it recalls old memories and at t he same time keeps us all posted as to each other's locations.
