N O. 16 E A ST LANSING J A N. 28, 1921 A BIRTHDAY LETTER FROM THE FIRST EDITOR Editor M. A. C. Record: The first issue of the Record was on J a n u a ry 14th, 1896. President Snyder was selected as President by the Board February n t h. T he first meeting o f , t he organization known as the Chicago M. A. C. Association was held March n t h. A report of this first meeting for organization was published in the Record from the pen of Ray Stannard Baker '89. I have mentioned these items in order that the Record readers may realize that at a time when members of both the Board and Faculty felt that the college was failing to progress, in years past developed M. A. C. there were influences brought into action which have without in any way destroying the underlying principles which must still be preserved in order that it may serve the State. A committee selected by the Board from the membership of the Faculty as constituted in a report made in 1895, of which I was the third member, recommended its work among in December of that year that the College advertise more extensively of Michigan people. The committee believed that the Record, a college publication which would be the product of the united efforts of faculty and students, could serve this purpose and in addition secure a greater publicity for M. A. C. and its work by circulation among the alumni scattered tend to keep them better acquainted with the College and its needs. the continent and to the Board throughout It will be of interest to your readers to know that in addition to recommendations re important changes were three very garding greater publicity made by this committee, recommended to the Board— First—the ^establishment of a course in H o me Economics, although term was not applied to it at that time, and while women had been admitted as students since the earlier years of the college, no course especially adapted to their requirements had been established. that Second—The change of the terms of the year so that the vacation which had heretofore therefore been held during the winter months came in the summer and our college year made to correspond in the location of its terms to other Michigan Colleges. Third—The establishment of our present system of winter courses embracing all phases of agricultural production. A start had been made in this direction a year previous by the establishment of a winter course in Dairying, the college, under Professor Clinton D. Smith. the first of its kind at As first editor of the Record, writing twenty-five years after its foundation, I urge that we must still seek to be more and more influential for the upbuilding of Agriculture and Industry. We must develop men and women of the highest character and must keep our alumni and former students in the closest possible contact with our work. We must all pull together for a greater M. A. C. which lies surely before us. F R A NK S. K E D Z I E. 6 THE M. A. C. RECORD Twenty-five Years Ago A page from the first Record The First Editorial.

We shall endeavor first of all to give the College news, a running account of what we are trying to accomplish with such results as will be interesting and instructive. This paper will be the medium of communication between the faculty and the student body at home or at the College, the parents of the students and the farming community generally. We shall the expect to make this paper the organ of alumni of the College and through it to main tain the College spirit and enthusiasm among those who have gone out from us.

We came into being in- the Chemistry over Building. The reasons for our coming are very clearly stated in the first editorial which we are glad to reproduce in this issue. Actually our twenty-fifth birthday was two weeks ago but you know how it is when one gets along in years, it is easy to forget the birthdays ; we leave it to the ladies. For our twenty-fifth anniversary celebra tion, we should have liked to have had a silver wedding affair—with the opportunity for our friends to bring in the customary silver pre sentations and all the donations that go along with a regular silver anniversary. We should have liked to have had a big old party with fancy decorations, a bright new dress, and some special literary refreshments, but times are hard, the check account is low, and with the high cost of everything—well you know we just had to give up the fancy party idea, that's all. How does it feel to be twenty-five years old, you ask. Not any different. If it did we would have twenty-five felt it January 14. But in those years there have been a few ups and a good many downs. troublous times and our path hasn't always been rosy. Some of our troubles came before the date of issue, others after our issuing. But they have come and we have learned. There have been In these twenty-five years there has been an earnest effort on the part of our editors to hold closely to the ideals of those who con ceived us. That we have survived and pros pered this quarter century bespeaks the fore sight of our founders. And we still "en deavor first of all to give the college news, a running account" and to "make this paper the it organ of the alumni," and "through to maintain the college spirit and enthusiasm among those who have gone out from us." And to this end, we still "invite the earnest cooperation of all our former students." We hope we may continue with this cooperation and with your assistance become a stronger force "for the greater M. A. C. which lies surely before us." THE SCIENCE COURSE The new course in science as suggested by alumni and with their support and successfully cooperation passed through the faculty by special commit tees of that body, was accepted by the State Board of Agriculture at their January meet ing. We point to this accomplishment of or ganized alumni, cooperating with the faculty body, with considerable pride for it is a real this co step in progress. We believe operation marks an advancement almost as great as the establishment of the new course itself. that Some faculty members have stood out for this general science course for a number of years while a greater number have stood out against it. As many as ten years ago, it was first presented for faculty consideration and its rejection was so decided that hope died in the breasts of its advocates. In their campaign for new students during the summer, alumni sensed the demand for this course among prospective students and im mediately waxed strong in pushing the project. With the faculty supporters, they picked up the strands where they were left ten years ago and by means of the closest sort of coopera tion with the faculty heads in the division of science and letters, they were able to push the project into actual being. that It serves as an example of what alumni can accomplish when they set about the task in the right way. Further it is a mark of a closer relationship between alumni and faculty. so We hope vitally interested in the welfare of M. A. C. and both working for her advancement, will continue in this spirit of cooperation. We should like to see a closer union of these two forces. They should be pulling together on every count. these two groups, both the county agents and their EXTENSION PEOPLE are taking advantage of Farmers' Week to call conferences of their workers.

RECORD 9 ffl ABOUT THE CAMPUS LL A BOOSTER MASS MEETING, the first one to be held during the winter term, came off Thurs day night this week under the direction of 'Fat' Taylor '15, cheer leader, and Norm Weil '17, field agent and booster par excellence. The meeting was for the purpose of mustering forces for Farmers' Week and calling the at tention of students and faculty to the need for their cooperation as hosts and the spirit that should be shown to our guests when M. A. C. entertains what will probably be the largest assemblage of agriculturists that have ever visited the college campus. One of the fea tures of the meeting was the presentation by President Kedzie of Varsity sweaters to the Varsity and Freshmen football squads. Talks were made by Bibbins '17, and "Jimmy" Hasselman, the key notes of their speeches being "boost." The band and a com munity sing helped steam up and the "Uplift Club" entertained with a Virginia Reel and other stunts.

A daily record of feed consumption and milk production is neces sary for intelligent feeding. Weigh the feed you are now feeding. Weigh the milk you get. Put down each day, for each cow, what the feed costs and what the milk brings. BUFFALO CORN GLUTEN FEED Then get BUFFALO CORN GLUTEN PEED—the milk- producmg concentrate — from your dealer. Mix up a mlx*u re wi th wheat bran or other mill feeds, oats, etc. Make the BUFFALO CORN GLUTEN F E ED one-third, one-half or more of your mixture.
