Regarding Dr. Snyder's resignation, we quote the editorial columns of the Lansing State Journal for February 23: "President Emeritus J. L. Snyder of the M. A. C. has resigned the re muneration connected with his job. Inasmuch as those who had criticised his connection with the college had never had anything to say against his usefulness, but had confined them selves to worrying over the fact that he did not work 10 or 12 hours a day to earn his salary they ought to be satisfied to have him keep the honor of his title and work for nothing. "In tendering his resignation Mr. Snyder calls attention to the fact that he expected, when he retired from the active presidency and became president emeritus, to be given some definite duties in which his knowledge of the needs of the college could be utilized. This the board has not done, and for the fact that Mr. Snyder has been drawing a salary without performing any great amount of specific duties the board is much more responsible than Mr. Snyder. "Back of the resignation, however, is another reason that was not put in writing, and that is Mr. Snyder's rec ognition of the fact that the bill in the legislature to prohibit the pension ing of officers by state institutions was aimed at him and that his stepping out would be likely to put an end to a that would work a legislative effort very distinct hardship on some other retired officers. "For thus allowing himself to be "made the goat" in the language of the street, in order to save other men who must have their pensions or go to the poor house, Mr. Snyder is en titled to a great deal of credit. It is an act as manly and generous as the Evans bill is petty and spiteful. to prohibit pensions "Every educational institution in the country has its men who have given the best they had to the cause of edu cation and have come to the brow of the hill of life without means to take care of themselves on the downward journey. To say that the board of control of any educational institution cannot pay a modest sum to keep from penury a faithful employe who has given the best of his life to that in stitution at the expense of his own material welfare is the basest ingrati tude. "The Evans bill is distinctly vicious It. has been a worthy in principle. legislative waste the candidate basket since it was introduced, and Mr. Snyder's action serves to empha size the fate it deserves." for Just one other point about this mat It was a magnani ter occurs to us. mous thing of Dr. Snyder to do to step out of a difficulty which might have arisen—because of this personal fight—with the appropriation requests of the state board. There is not much question but that the bill aimed at Dr. Snyder would not have passed, or if it did pass it would not have become operative at M. A. C, since the state board is provided for by constitution the same as is the legislature. Pre vious events seem to prove that the board can do just about what they want with the money which the legis lature appropriates for their use. The only thing that can be done is to use matters of this kind as a whip for personal prejudices. And while the time is quite likely in the dim, distant future, it is to be hoped that the time will come when the state board will be in a position where there will not be the slightest possibility of their being dictated to by petty poli ticians. FEBRUARY STATE BOARD MEETING. (Continued from page 3.) P. J. Cross: Resolved, That we have learned with great regret of the severe sickness of Sergeant Cross whose effi cient service in the military depart ment is much appreciated, and offer him our fullest sympathy, with the hope that he may soon be restored to full and vigorous health. On motion of Mr. Beaumont the fol lowing resolutions were adopted: Whereas, The necessity for national defense and preparedness looms up before our people as it has not done since the days of the Civil war, and "Whereas, In daily anticipation of the necessity of an appeal to arms for the protection of our national rights, the President and the Congress are seek ing in every way possible to strength en our defenses and to put the mili tary arm of the government in condi tion for effective service, therefore be it Resolved, That Michigan Agricul tural College, inspired from its earli est years with a profound sense of patriotism and responsibility for the national welfare, and with a full ap preciation of the gravity of the present situation, freely offers to the govern ment of the United States all its fa training, all its cilities for military efforts to promote a high sense of patriotism among its students, and the assurance that its thousands of young alumni and undergraduates who have here received military training, will be found waiting the call of the president. Professor Eustace was given per mission to attend a horticultural con ference in Chicago with expenses paid. The secretary presented the follow from President Emeritus ing letter Snyder: To the Honorable State Board of Agriculture: When I accepted the position of president emeritus it was with the un derstanding on your part as well as my own that I would actively serve the college and thereby earn the sal ary attached to the position. While I have performed various functions and co-operated in many efforts, there has not opened up that broad field for con structive work which we both had in mind at the time. I feel, therefore, in honor bound to tender you my res ignation which I do herewith. Thanking you for the many courte sies which you have shown me, I am, Very truly yours, J. L. SNYDER. On motion of Mr. Graham, the fol lowing resolution was adopted: Whereas, President Emeritus Sny der has presented his resignation upon the ground that contrary to his expec tation no opportunity for the employ ment, of his services has developed, commensurate with the salary estab lished by the board at the time the position was created, and Whereas, It seems eminently fitting that for one who has for so many years been intimately connected with the ed ucational affairs of the state and na tion, should retain his official connec tion in this field, therefore be it Resolved, That the resignation be not accepted but that the salary for the reason cited be discontinued. The name "Kedzie Chemical Build ing" as fixed by the board at its last meeting for laboratory the chemical was changed to the "Kedzie Chemical Laboratory." The president was authorized in his discretion to permit Mr. McBride to attend a series of conferences that may be called looking to the establishment of a National Chamber of Agriculture. The secretary was authorized to em ploy a competent bookkeeper to suc ceed Miss Maxwell at a salary not to exceed $1,000 per annum. NEW TTPE OF INSTITUTE. A strictly new type of institute was put on by the Extension division at Croswell last week. Two whole days were devoted to a "Young People's In stitute." Some farmers were present but all subjects presented were from the standpoint of the young people in the community. The experiment was a splendid success, it is reported.
