The letter, dated April 29, says, "To the members of the state board of agri culture :—It will not surprise you to be -given the information that at the close of the present college year, I desire to be relieved from the office of president.

(Signed) Frank S. Kedzie, President. in the harness at to remain THE M. A. C. RECORD It has been quite commonly known for some that President Kedzie had an under time, standing with the-board looking forward to ward his relief from his present position; but the letter made public at the board meeting is first formal intimation to the public of his de sire to retire from the presidency of the col lege in the near future "Uncle Frank" as he has been popularly known among college students for many years, came to M. A. C. when a lad of only five years. His father, Dr. Robert Clark Kedzie, was at that time made Professor of Chemistry at M. A. C. I came here with my father at President Kedzie has the distinction of be ing better known among a large number of M. A. C- students than any other man ever connected with the college in any capacity. No other man loves the institution more, or has ' a greater appreciation of her traditions and It is a remarkable co her accomplishments. that incidence that he was born on the day 13, 1857. the college was dedicated, May "When the age of five years," he said in a conversation not long ago, "The college consisted of Col lege Hall and the community around the col lege consisted of a house at Baker switch, a log house which stood where the Phi Delta house stands, a clapboard house which stood where Campus Club stands, a plank road which was the Grand River road, and a stagecoach to and from Lansing each day, which was the only means of There were transportation plenty of evidences of war at that time, with very few students no senior class, 7 juniors, 7 sophomores, 15 fresh men, 26 preps and 6 specials." there was In 1863 From this beginning in the woods, President Kedzie has seen the college grow to an in stitution of power and influence in the state. Since he became its helmsman, the gymnasium has been built at a cost of $225,000, and the fire of engineering building, following March 5, 1916, with the aid of Mr. Olds, was rebuilt at a cost of $275,000. to these, the last legislature appropriated $950,000 for buildings and $150,000 for extension. Its farm crops work alone, has more than paid the college, in its for returned wealth state the thru improved varieties. the entire expense of to the people of In addition the adjunct the teaching force Graduating from M. A. C. in 1877, "Uncle Frank" entered the next year, and rose thru the successive grades of pro instructor, assistant professor, fessor, and finally professor of chemistry- It was thru his lecture work in freshman chem istry that the students for many years knew him best, feared him most, and later admitted that he was their best friend. After he became president, he continued his lecture work with the freshmen for several years, because of the 'discipline' which the faculty felt the students would gain. Older graduates the later students who have missed this discipline have missed half of their college training. that feel The entire alumni body will agree that "Uncle Frank" should remain at his Alma Mater in some capacity. The "College" would not be complete without him. As we go to press, we learn that the Board took no formal action on President Kedzie's resignation, but laid it on the table until the June meeting.

Research of all three types is conducted in the Laboratories of the General Electric Company. But it is the third type of research— pioneering into the unknown—that means most, in the long run, even though it is undertaken with no practical benefit in view. At the present time, for example, the Research Laboratories of the General Electric Company are exploring matter with X-rays in order to discover not only how the atoms in different sub stances are arranged but how the atoms themselves are built up. The more you know about a substance, the more you can do with it. Some day this X-ray work will enable scientists to answer more definitely than they can now the question: Why is iron magnetic? And then the electrical industry will take a great step forward, and more real progress will be made in five years than can be made in a century of experimenting with existing electrical apparatus.
