Prof. Reed is a man of unusual ability and wide experience, and his appointment was made by the State Board of Agriculture only after they were convinced that he was one of the outstanding dairy men of America, When Prof. A.

The college has been criti cized at various times for allowing such an THE M. A. C.

A. C. We firmly believe that President Burton was misinformed on the matter. A calculation of costs for 1920 shows the average cost at M. A. C. to be exactly $398 per capita. A from report the Secretary filed with Senator Henry Ross '04, Chairman of the College Committee in the Senate, shows that the income of the College from the mill tax for 1920 was $935,000 and that with 1603 students this year the per capita cost in each department is as follows: Agricultural divi sion $407, Engineering $383, Home Economics' ^337, and Veterinary $1067. The decreased" is of popularity of the veterinary increased course responsible for the greatly cost in that department this year. course However, in comparing the cost at an agri cultural college, it must be borne in mind.that, in the agricultural equipment, particularly in blooded live-stock such as the college must have for instructional purposes, there must be spent, and there is subsequently tied up, con siderable capital which impossible to handle on a money-making basis. it is It is entirely possible that President Burton's statement was based on figures which includes experiment station and agricultural extension costs as well as the purely instructional costs.

The bill as first reported out by the Ways and Means Committee con tained provisions for the Home Economics Building only and about one-sixth only of the amount asked for extension. Immediately following the reporting of the bill into the House, however, such a storm was heaped upon the heads of the Ways and interests Means Committee from agricultural and alumni that they drew the bill back into the Committee and held a hearing Wednesday afternoon. The State Board of Agriculture, assembled for its monthly meet ing, were present at this hearing. second The bill, as originally reported out last F r i day by the Ways and Means Committee fol lowing the hearing at which President Kedzie and Secretary Brown were the only members of for the State Board present, provided $225,000 for each of two years, $200,000 of which was for the Home Economics Building and $25,000 for agricultural extension work. A strong string was attached however, in that the appropriation was to be withheld until the entire amount of $125,000 from regular col lege income sources had been expended for extension work. Another clause in the bill required all col lege receipts from and departmental fees sources to be turned over to the State Treas urer and did not permit their use by the col lege as has obtained in the past.

Prof. Reed, New Dairy Head, Nationally Known. Prof. O. E. Reed comes on May 1 to head the Dairy department with an enviable record in the dairy world. A graduate of the U n i versity of Missouri with the class of '03, he took his dairy work under Prof. E. C. Eckles, then one of the greatest men in his line in the country. Accord ing to Dr. McCool of the Soils department, who graduated in the s a me Prof. class, Reed worked his way thru college and made a record for himself. After completing his course, Prof. Reed stayed at Missouri one year under Dr. Eckles. From there he went to Purdue as an in structor in dairying and the next year be came head of t he Dairy department of Kansas State Agricul tural College. Under his management, the enrollment of students receiving instruction along dairy lines was in creased 600 percent, the college creamery was put on a paying basis and- run as a com mercial proposition and the dairy herd was built up from only a few individuals—mostly grades—to the point that it was the largest and highest producing college herd the United States. The department also carried on some very valuable experimental work on the development of dairy heifers and silages. In 1919 he took charge of the Dairy depart ment at Purdue, and left that work the next year the Gossard Breeding estates, with headquarters at Evansville, Ind. the management of to take over in While at Kansas and Purdue, he lectured and judged dairy shows in various parts of the United States, and in 1919 was selected by the French High Commission to assist in the pur chase of dairy cattle in this country for the devasted regions of France. The State Board has been unable before to secure as Prof. Anderson's successor a man whom they felt would bring to the people of the state the leadership which the dairy in the dustry deserves. With Prof. Reed at helm, Michigan should take her place as one of the leading dairy states. Since the resignation of Prof. Anderson, J. E. Burnett '15 has been acting head of the department. He will continue his connection as Associate Professor of Dairy Husbandry. THE M. A. C. RECORD 9 May We Have An Alumni Advisory Committee: By EDWIN SMITH '12 interest Every alumnus of M„ A.

The storm may be necessary but we want it over with and we look forward to t h e' happy sight of a sky with only scud clouds of criticism appearing. criticisms should always be welcome. that few A Sifting out the major criticisms from those published, the heads around which they may be grouped are stated as follows: In adequate Buildings and Equipment, (b) Low Salaries, (c) Unsatisfactory Athletic Achieve (d) Small Attendance. ments, and ( A) the institution, • and before In reviewing these criticisms, the thought ful alumnus should remember that before M.

All of us have repeatedly had our attention brought to the -pre-eminence of M. A. C. graduates in this respect. When thinking of all of the State Experiment Sta tions, Agricultural Colleges, Federal Ad ministration Agricultural Activities, t h e . A g r i cultural Press and the other great movements in American Agricultural advance that have been directed or influenced by the men trained at M. A. C, I always reconsider the under lying factors that must have been manifest to turn out this nation-wide college of Michigan that were used schooled mentors. Buildings in the 70's, 8o's and 90's, the athletic triumphs and to have cut but a small figure in the training of those alumni. I think this will be found true with many other small but exceptionally success the highly ful educational institutions. But qualified and teachers who directed the minds of those men while student-, always stand out as basic in the past success of the institution. My reasoning would thus indicate that criticism touching, on the quality of the the students at M. A. C. instruction given should be given first importance by the M. A. C. Association, by the faculty, by the State Board of Agriculture and by the State Legis lature, and that other criticism be taken up in the order of their importance, if they are such the that point bodies mentioned. the constructive work of time enrollments seem inspired the old to a Criticism concerning enrollment should not be held as alarming unless, in it self, a small enrollment is indicative of insti tutional weakness. The desire for an enroll ment of two thousand or twenty-four hundred small institution graduating twelve hundred students, students merely to say that ones alma mater is of such and such size is absurd. Better a turning school of out thoroughly trained men and women, than an overcrowded stu dents whose diplomas represent smatterings of knowledge and long periods of ill spent time. Personally and from an agricultural point of view, it would seem much more desirable to have the enrollment of regular four year stu dents at M>. A. C. limited to the efficient teach ing capacity of the institution and all possible the standard of emphasis placed on raising their training,—whereas numbers (as well as efficient training) should be eagerly sought for in extension Such a large per centage of four year students enter Agricul tural institutional or research work that their training should be nothing short of the best, if is to reflect success upon the record of the college. On the other hand the great reflects that upon the character of farming in the State of Michigan comes through its extension work. With this policy in practice, alarm should be felt if short course enrollment did not exceed if application institutions, and that of other for enrollment in the regular four year course did not each year reach or exceed the capacity limit of the school. the college instruction. life work influence their to this head.
