With Doctor Beal we can not refrain from paying tribute to those men who realized the need of education in what was then considered the most simple of vocations—farming. For in President Williams' dedication address he to says, "The question spontaneously comes the lips even of friends, what course of in struction is proposed to improve the f a r m e r ?

The Newtons and Keplers of Agriculture are yet to appear. The contemplation of these facts should awe us to humility. "The chief end and object in educating the farmer is to teach him to subordinate himself, and all animal vegetable life around him, to those inexorable laws, moral and physical, the violation of which meets with retri bution. swift "A farmer should perpetually bear in mind that one generation of men hold the earth in trust for the next. We are all linked indis- solubly to the past by obligations of gratitude, and to the future by the glowing aspirations of hope. Without the recognition by preced ing generations of the ties of dependence and affiliation, we could pluck no fruit the orchards planted a century ago." from The press of the present day affairs and the misty haze of the sentiment alumnus as he looks back at his campus days may cloud for the time being the realization of the outstanding accomplishments of Alma Mater during her sixty-four years.

Union Building much larger than the present conditions require- The Union Is a Democratizer It must not be forgotten that the Union is more than a building. There are vital parts of it that never can be seen with the eye nor laid out in floor plans. The Union in its new building has become the community center for Michigan Mjen, fostering and developing their best traditions and ideals. Because it possess es the equipment, organization, and the tradi tion of service it can and does take the leader ship in the development of a finer type of student life. It draws all men students to it by virtue of its ability to serve all their needs and by bringing them together, increases opportunities for association, and the making of friendships among a varied and cosmopoli tan body of men. There is a liberal educa tion in knowing men from all walks of life, and it makes for polish and ease,—two quali ties essential in our complicated society, for real success. it That the Union is democratic, is indicated by the fact that all men students are mem bers of the Union. This is not a rich man's club—$5 a year is the amount of the annual dues paid by the students and the faculty, and $100 makes a Michigan man a member for life, a fee far smaller than many clubs with fewer facilities charge initiation. And what is more, this fee may be paid in five equal installments. just for One hundred and ten students are on the Union pay-roll, and are employed the various departments of the Union.
