To say t h at I enjoy and appreciate the paper insure is a mild statement, and, the t h at I shall be entitled coming year, herewith is my check for t he a n o t h er year. to to it for subscription price for Our Grand Rapids M. A. C. asso ciation appears to have elected a per m a n e nt president at the Oct. m e e t i ng of 1915, which was the regular meet ing specified in our by-laws. W. K. Clute, '96, was at t h at time re-elected to succeed himself as our president. As Mr. Clute failed to call t he desig nated a n n u al meeting in 1916 or any other business meeting since, he has availed himself of the opportunity of indefinitely, r e m a i n i ng our president as he has given us no opportunity to vote on the m a t t er of continuing him in office or electing his successor.

A recent statement by Liberty Hyde Bailey of the opportunities open for graduates of colleges, while intended primarily for graduates in agriculture, applies equally well to graduates in any other line, especially the part here quoted: agricultural industry, "I have no fear of the opportunities. If I have any doubt it is on the side of the preparation. Increasingly does every opportunity demand more of a man or a woman. This demand is not alone in better technical preparation, but quite as much in certain qualities that are unmeasurable by of heart test. Honesty, sobriety, any formal energy, cleanliness—these we assume. We now want men and women to- lead. What is it to lead? It is to go the way you want others to go and with such alacrity and good cheer that they follow for the very pleasure of it. He cannot lead who is grouchy; he repels; people cross the street for fear he will speak to them. He cannot lead if he does not know the way. He cannot lead if his ambi tions are for himself alone—such am bitions stick out like buttons. Get yourself out of sordid self-ambitions, if you have them; cultivate the open heart, the frank expression, the quick, prompt step." A MASTER STROKE. Fortune surely smiled on M. A. C. when she—or was it one insistent and far-seeing administrator—decided who was to be the new director of athlet ics and head of the department of physical education. the Director Brewer will take up his du enthusiastic ties this fall with support of every alumnus, every mem ber of the faculty, and every member of a community which has always held both he and Mrs. Brewer in the very highest esteem. This alone augurs well for the future. But more than this, Mr. Brewer will bring with him the acquaintance, admiration, and re spect of those in charge of athletic af fairs and departments of physical edu cation throughout this entire country. He has made his mark among them. THE M. A. C. RECORD. His qualities of character and leader ship fit him admirably for one of the most responsible positions in a college faculty. For such is the position of an athletic director. In a thoroughly organized department of physical edu cation he comes into more intimate touch and is able to exert a greater in fluence on the whole student body than any other individual. How fine it is then that a man who has proved himself is coming into our midst. At Missouri university, Director Brewer has met with splendid suc cess. It is said that when he went there the support which he received was not unmixed with the fear that his methods might not fit the rough and ready athletic spirit of a western institution; that he was perhaps just a little "too good." But in the six years he has demonstrated that clean, straight-forward thinking and acting will win out. He has not only de veloped winning teams, but he has built up a strong department which takes into account the physical well- being of the entire student body. He will be given a free hand at M. A. C. in organizing his department. His coming is timely. His election was a master stroke. * * * The alumni association of Ohio State university has gotten out a song book for Ohio State people. The book is a compilation of songs used at O. S. U., other college songs, negro songs, and airs of national importance both in this country and abroad. The readi ness with which the book was receiv ed is shown by the fact that the first edition was sold before it was hardly off the press. In connection with the new song book Ohio State alumni ex pect to make a reunion of all former glee club members one of the features of their commencement this year. At some future date the demand for a song book at M. A. C. will be strong enough so that one will be forthcom ing. Meanwhile let us bewail the need and thus make a chorus that will get behind the undertaking. * * * It is exceedingly interesting to note how events follow each other at times. The first letter opened by the editor one morning last week was from E. W. Brandes, '13, who is doing work at Cornell. editorial contained from an Ithaca paper which praised in glowing terms L. H. Bailey, as a sci entist, neighbor, friend, and citizen. The next letter was from N. S. Mayo, '88, in which he sang the praises of one of Bailey's new books. The next was from Dr. Bailey himself-—a re mittance for the Record. an It '75. Charles Goodwin of Bancroft, one of the early graduates who had ever the welfare of M. A. C. at heart, died Oct. 12, 1916. CORRESPONDENCE. (Continued from page 30 one of our strongest and most pros perous financial institutions. He is at his post of duty very regularly and is looking ahead with great anticipation to the time in the near future when the bank will move into its new and their new 13- elaborate quarters in story building—Grand Rapids' tallest and most commanding business struc ture. Mr. Garfield is reputed to have become quite well-to-do through his banking and other business ventures. He gave up trying to be a successful horticulturist, on his farm just south of the former city line, some years ago. After giving the city a large tract for the re an athletic field, he platted mainder residence for a high-grade tract, and a recent extension of the city limits has included his plat and greatly enhanced its value. Flavius Josephus Groner, '74, (M. D., U. of M. 1880) is a physician and sur geon with offices at 40 Monroe Ave., Grand Rapids, Mich. He believes in taking care of his physical condition and is an enthusiastic trout fisherman and apostle of the outdoor life. Al though now over 63 years of age, he is a very regular attendant at the busi ness men's noon-day class at the Y. M. C. A., where I have for some time past enjoyed with him the physical ex- ' ercises of the floor work and the volley ball games following same. Dr. Groner is evidently a sane man, and shows his patients, by his example, that ra tional physical exercise is an essential to good bodily and mental health. DWIGHT S. CohE, '93. M. A. C. HAS GRAD IN INDIA. Calcutta, Dec. 13, 1916. M. A. C. Record: Your letter of September 5, 1916, as you will note from the attached en velope, reached me today, and in com pliance therewith I am asking my father to enclose a postal money order for two dollars and thirty-five cents ($2.35) to cover the cost of my sub scription to the "Record" up to Jan four uary, 1918. During years I have not received more than five or six copies of this paper, but this was, no doubt, due to the fact that my proper address was not known., I therefore request that in the future you direct them to me in care of the Standard Oil Co. of New York, Cal cutta, India, as I will then be certain to receive them even though I may have left this city. the past It is rather surprising that you have not lost sight of me altogether, for I have been out of the United States practically all of the time since July, 1911. After graduation I received a commission as a Third Lieutenant in the Philippine Constabulary and con tinued in that service until May 11 of THE M. A. C. RECORD. STEWART MEMORIAL AT CAMDEN, ARKANSAS. ~~% the present year when I accepted a position as an Assistant Manager in the oriental service of the Standard Oil Co. My service in the Philippines was almost entirely among the wild tribes of Ifugao, Mountain Province, and I became very much attached to this country and its people but, like several hundred other Government offi cials, I found that conditions brought about by the present administration in the Islands made it impossible for any one with a spark of patriotism or self respect left in him to carry on any longer. I resigned from the serv ice on May 11, the date following that of my promotion to the grade of First Lieutenant. I often wonder where all the other fellows are whom I knew back there at, M. A.

BASKETBALL. U. of BUFFALO 17, M. A. C. 36. In a battle which was characterized as the most polite ever seen on the Armory floor, M. A. C. defeated Buffalo university last Thursday evening by a score of 36 to 17. The playing of the visitors was without a single foul. Buffalo showed flashes at times which seemed to indicate that if they had not been traveling all day, and if they were used to girders overhead, they could put up a stiff game. Murray, Vevia, Peppard, Frimodig, and McClellan entered the game for M. A. C. Sheffield, Archer, Wood, Mil ler, and Rigby were used as substi tutes. Vevia led in the scoring, having secured six baskets from field. Pep pard and Frimodig each got four, Mur ray three, and McClellan one. WILL YOU STAND FOR THIS, 1912? A card from Sheridan, Wyoming, reads signed, "San-I-Dairy Butter," like this: "Regarding 'Dad' Barrows and Kirby, I will add that your headline, '1912 Needs Boosting for Reunion,' is very appropriate. Experience taught that 1912 needed lots of boosting in order to get anything out of it. This way out, please!" ALUMNI NOTES '79. The Record is indebted to L. G.
