EDITORIAL COMMENT. COLLEGE BEQUESTS. The bequest by Mattie King Baillee men tioned elsewhere in this issue, is only one of several which have come to the college in the last few years. And it is interesting to note that these are all by people who were never connected with the college as students or in any other capacity, but were simply friends of M. A. C, and have recognized the good work which the college has done and is doing. In the past it was the custom, when a man or woman wished to leave something for posterity, to specify that it be used for a building or some other tangible monu ment to his memory. But now the ten dency is to invest it in the lives of the coming generations, in the form of endow ments for increases in professors' salaries, for scholarship funds, or for scientific in vestigational work. Two lines in a college catalog may not be as impressive as a name cut in granite or marble, but they are much more enduring. A COURSE IN * * * ADVERTISING. A number of M. A. C. alumni have gone In into various lines of advertising work. almost every case they have entered the advertising field not because they were par ticularly fitted as advertising men, but more often because they were specialists in some particular line of agriculture or engineer ing. They knew their own line perfectly, but the advertising end of it was more or less thrust upon them. that Advertising is becoming a business and a is establishing itself per profession manently in the industrial world. Never be fore has it reached its present volume. A knowledge of it is essential in almost every line of work. It is equally valuable to the farmer and the engineer. No doubt, those of our alumni who are engaged in advertising work could have been better fitted for their particular jobs had they had an opportunity to study advertis ing while in college, or at least an opportu nity to gain some knowledge of its various phases. We believe that there is a distinct need for a course in advertising at M. A. C. It is certain that the dozen or more senior students who expect to enter advertising work following graduation this June would be far better prepared to take up that work had they been afforded an opportunity of a course—no matter how brief—in advertis ing psychology and advertising methods. * * * THE NEW SALARY SCALE. its The State Board of Agriculture, at April meeting took action for the second time this year on increases in salaries for the instructional force. Such an action is unprecedented, and did not come entirely as result of agitation on the part of the faculty, but equally as an expression of appreciation from the Board of Agriculture. This action places M. A. C. as the equal of many of the larger institutions of learning in the middle west with respect to salaries. Remunera tion of instructors and professors now equals and in many cases surpasses that of other schools of equal standing. Realizing that a strong faculty is, after all, the backbone of an institution, without which no college is strong, the Board cut down all other expenses to the lowest possi ble minimum in order that salaries might be increased to the maximum. There is no rea son now why we should not keep the strong members on our faculty, and be in line to procure new ones of the very best order. M. A. C. will of course have to do without her anticipated new buildings—the audito rium and administration building—but with the high cost of building material and labor it is doubtful if the Board would have con sidered building advisable at this time. the faith The action of the State Board of Agricul ture substantiates that alumni have had that the salary question would be settled in a satisfactory manner. The atti tude of the Board is especially commendable with respect to the policy they have followed in providing for the new schedule. In their report the committee recom mended that they "make the increase even if it produces a deficit and go to the legis lature for an appropriation to take care of that deficit" rather than "refuse to adopt the increase urged by the faculty commit tee and perhaps lose some of our best and instructors." most efficient ATHLETICS. FIRST DUAL MEET WITH DETROIT JRS. Michigan Aggie track team will meet De troit Junior college in the first outdoor dual meet of the season at College Field Satur day. The regular list of events as held in Western conference meets will be included. Last Saturday an interclass meet was held at M. A. C. from which the entries against Detroit were to be picked. Fifty and sixty men were entered in the competition and Coach Smith will have a large list from which to choose his team to compete next Saturday. The new Aggie track coach has been working steadily with all material avail able since his arrival at Bast Lansing and to uncover Aggie supporters expect him some candidates for real ability.

A bequest of $ 5,000 was presented to the •College at the March meeting of the State Board of Agriculture, t he interest of which is to be used to assist needy girl students. T h is the second similar bequest within t he year. is The bequest comes from Mrs. Mattie King Baillee of Berlin Heights, Ohio, who died in J a n u a r y, 1918. Her will provides for the bequest as follows: "I give, devise and bequeath the sum of to the Mich five thousand dollars ($5,000) igan Agricultural College, to be invested in safe and suitable securities, the income of which shall be used for the help of needy loan girl students of said the without institution as a the discretion of interest, at Dean of "Women and the P r e s i d e nt thereof, such loan when repaid to become a p a rt of t he fund for such use.

The Sanfords were well known in t he early life of L a n s i ng and the college, though neither of them were ever students here. Colonel Sanford was editor of the Lansing J o u r n al in the early seven ties, and will be remembered by some of the members of t he older classes as being a very public spirited m an and the college, although he did not always approve of the political forces a d m i n i s t e r i ng college affairs.

Today I received a letter from the Intersociety Union, evideritly the opinions of the alumni. So asking for here the way I see it and the way I think a g r e at many others see it. In the first place national fraternities are exponents of principles exactly opposite to those M. A. C. stands for. Fraternities are in one university affairs.

Present, President Kedzie, Mrs. Stockman, Messrs. "Woodman, Beaumont and Watkins. - The minutes of the previous meeting, hav ing been in the hands of the members, were approved without reading. The following report of the Committee on Budget and Employees was adopted: To the State Board of Agriculture: Your Committee on Budget and Employees respectfully reports as follows: to salaries At the request of President Kedzie, we had on April 10th last, a conference with Profes representing sors Clark, Plant and Steward, the Faculty, with reference for the coming year. They presented to us facts to show, and "we and arguments think showing, t h at the recent increase made by this Board is insufficient, at least in so to salaries of professors far as it pertains and associate professors. the Subject conditions hereinafter set forth, we recom mend the following minimum scale of sal aries, which is the scale recommended by the Faculty Committee, viz: tending to Men. Deans Professors $5,000.00 4,000.00 11 3,200.00 2,400.00 1,800.00 Associate Professors Assistant Professors Instructors Women.

Teachers, who a re loyal and enthusiastic, should efficient and not be handicapped by this minimum but should receive salaries r a n g i ng from $600 to $1,000 or perhaps more, in excess thereof. In the judgment of are now There in to is t h at take care of this recommended This recommendation is, of course, condi tioned upon the fact that we have sufficient money. By this we do not mean t h at after t a k i ng care of all other college expenditures, buildings, repairs, etc., there will be enough left in crease. We think t h at the salaries of loyal men and women, who constitute, after all, the real college, are quite as important as any other college expenditures. W h at we if, after reducing or revising mean other college expenditures or estimated ex penditures to the lowest possible minimum, there shall then be insufficient money to pay left the salaries recommended above, we are to accept one of two contingencies: (a) r e fuse to adopt the increase urged by the F a c ulty Committee and perhaps lose some of our best and most efficient instructors, or (b) make the increase even if it produces a de ficit and go to the legislature for an appro priation t h at deficit.
