Finally Robert Skinner, a student who lived somewhere north of L a n s i ng where game was very plentiful, volunteered to take the professor to a spot where he could surely get a shot. Robert Skinner was a likely student, well gversed in an i m p o r t a nt a rt in pioneer farm ing, namely: t h at of felling trees in such a way as would enable them to quickly burn, the and he had learned habits of the fleet and wary deer. the r u n w a ys and to plant The big consideration with In passing let me say t h at S k i n n e r 's skill in t he a rt of swift destruction of a product now well-nigh invaluable, was an important asset in the education of t he h a r dy pioneer. t he home seeker was to get as quickly as possible a cleared patch whereon potatoes, It made a difference per corn and oats. h a ps of an entire season how those trees If skilfully cut so as to fall were felled. but partially, leaning against one another, they would till the key tree was chopped, all come together in a "windrow," and be in position to dry most quickly a nd b u rn most completely, leaving the least of after chop ping and least log rolling a nd log dragging with t he burly yokes of oxen who would break the chains if the logs failed to move. into Well, Skinner took Prof. Tracy the timber and to the chosen point of vantage.

The professor's rifle came up, b ut he did not shoot! The boys said he had "buck fever!"

A. Taylor, '15, is assistant in Veterinary Medicine and Pharmacology. All these men served as veterinarians during the war, Drs. Taylor and Sales having had the experience of practice in France. There has been a splendid feeling among the faculty and students this year and the work has been cheerfully and efficiently done. The high character of the work done at this institution is verified by the high rating obtained by our alumni in their fed eral examinations. In fact we sometimes regret that so many of our graduates take up commercial and federal work, but pre fer that more of them should enter active practice within the state.
