T HE F I R ST ISSUE OF T HE HOLCAD~ for the college year made its appearance on the cam pus on Tuesday morning and was full of interesting information for new students and old. The new plan of issuing twice a week will help the student body to keep in touch with college activities much more closely than under.the old Once-A-Week plan. A change has been made in printers from the Inter national Publishing Company of Lansing to the Campus Press of East Lansing. " S E ND T HE BAND TO W I S C O N S I N ," is the slo gan on the campus today. This has been desig nated as tag day to raise a fund sufficient to send the Aggie music makers and spirit inflat- Ors to Wisconsin when the team goes on October 9. Lansing business men have guar anteed to duplicate the amount raised on the campus. FRESHMEN are being lodged in Wells Hall for the first time in the history of the college. This is brought about because of the comparat ively small number of upper classmen, and the large number from all classes living in society houses off the campus, and will present a new phase of the Fresh-Soph question which we have always with us. T H£ LIBERAL ARTS COUNCIL has completed its program for the fall term and in part for the rest of the year.

A. , Talcott, humorist and lecturer, and Ellie Kinney Werner, reader and dramatic recitor. The Council feels that it has arranged the best and most varied program which they have ever had. OLIVET COLLEGE has again opened its doors after being closed for two years because of the war and after-the war influences. Presi dent Voelker is the new head. CO-EDS HAVE T wo N EW SPORTS added to their athletic program this year, field hockey and Both of these are popular sports in soccer. the eastern schools for girls.

A woman of exceptional strength intellect, charming personality, and of character, she inspired those about her to the best possible accomplishments. When it became necessary to choose a new Dean of Home Economics in the fall of 1918, she was the unanimous choice. During her five years' connection" with the the several hundred young women college, in who passed out to their life's work found her a friend, an adviser, and an inspiration always; the community was enriched by her presence; and the work of Home Economics was elevated and broadened.

RECORD. 15 A college man analyzed his class to see how many could afford to subscribe to the Alumni Endowment Fund AGR ADU ATE of one of the foremost colleges was asked to conduct the alumni endowment campaign among the members of his class. He made an analysis of the ninety- six members, according to his estimate of their financial re sources, dividing them into three groups. In the first group he included those to whom a gift of $300 would be impossible; forty men made up this group. The second group included those to whom $300 would represent a maximum gift; there were thirty- seven men in this group. The third group included those who could give more than $300; there were nineteen men in this group. Why some college men earn so much more than others The members of that class have been out of college more than zo years; they are an average lot of hard-working, capable men. Yet less than a third of the whole number are earning more than a mere living. What is the explana these men, of tion? Among course, are a good many teachers and ministers. Salary, in their case, is no criterion of success. But with the men in business and in most of the professions, income is one basis of measure ment. And if you will analyze this class—or any other—you will find this striking fact: That the great majority have become settled in departmental places, while only 'one man here and there has gained the all- round knowledge of all departments of modern business that fits him to discharge high executive responsibility, or to engage in business on his own account. An institution for rounding out men The Alexander Hamilton Institute was called into being ten years ago to meet a definite need. A group of educators and business leaders had been impressed with the fact that modern business develops specialists but does not train executives. They determined to provide a Course and Service which would enable a man to add to his equipment a working knowl edge of the departments of business outside his own. To give the salesman, for example, a working knowledge of accounting and office management; to give the inside man a working knowl edge of sales, merchandising, advertising, corporation finance, etc. —in other words, an institution whose business should be to round out men into full business leadership. in business have enrolled in the Alexander Hamilton Institute, and have proved by their own experience its power to shorten the path to success. Great universities and great businesses No similar educational institution has ever received such high indorsement at the hands of educational authorities. In forty-four leading universities and colleges, the books of the Institute are used as texts. And the indorsement of busi ness is no less emphatic and im pressive than the indorsement of the schools. In the U. S. Steel Corporation 545 Alexander Ham ilton Institute men are at work; in the General Motors Corporation 335 men are to be found; in the Goodyear Rubber Company 319J in the Standard Oil Company 801. There is no great industry in the country which does not have some where among its executives, large or small, men who have profited by the Modern Business Course and Service. Not money merely, but satisfaction The Alexander'Hamilton Insti tute does not base its claim for con sideration upon its power to increase men's incomes. Increased in come and power follow naturally increased knowledge. But the real product of the Institute is self-satisfaction and self-confidence —the sense of content that comes to a man when he knows he is making the most out of his life that he possibly can make. complished it for thousands of men is contained in a book entitled Evidence that the Institute can accomplish this result and has ac 1 'Forging A head in Business " Just what the Modern Business Course and Service is, just bow it fits into your own personal needs, just what it has achieved for other men in positions similar to yours—all this is fully covered in "Forging Ahead in Business."

RECORD. :. , Modern Motive Might M O U N T A I N S, miles and minutes give way before electricity, the magic motive power. Properly applied, it drives giant loco motives across the continental divide, tows ocean liners through the Panama Canal, or propels huge ships. Through good light, safe signals, and illumi nated highways, it is making travel better and safer and also is increasing the usefulness of transportation methods on land, sea or in the air. In short, electricity is revolutionizing t r a n s portation, making it quicker, safer, more eco nomical and reliable in all sorts of weather. And back of this development in electric t r a n s portation, in generating and transmitting ap paratus as well as motive mechanisms, are the co-ordinated scientific, engineering and manu- factoring resources of the General Electric Company, working to the end that electricity may bet ter serve mankind. 95-3301 ^^^
