With T HE JOINT CONFERENCE on consolidation of schools and economic problems of agriculture,' June 22-24, was a new feature of this year's summer the ministers and boys' and girls' club workers already in at tendance, the ranks of visitors were swelled by several hundred members of the Michigan Farmers' Tour association who came to M. A. C. for a short encampment and reunion. The consolidated schools conference drew a large number of rural teachers and educational leaders. Big ideas stressed during the-con ference were the need of institutionalizing ag riculture as an industry so as to make farming an attractive career for the country boys with most ambition, and the need of further co operation and development of the community spirit. Prof- Thomas Nixon Carver,' famous economist and sociologist at Harvard Uni versity, was the outstanding figure of the week with his series of addresses. Other significant speeches were given by Prof. G. F. Warren of Cornell, Rev. Lloyd Douglas of Ann Arbor, and Dean Mary E. Sweeny and Prof. W. H. French of M. A. C. friend. PRESIDENT KEDZIE suffered a painful although not a serious injury last Wednesday afternoon while riding horseback with Mrs. Kedzie and a President Kedzie's horse became, frightened at something which none of the riding party saw and reared suddenly taking his rider unawares. T he horse's head with bridle strap over it struck the President a violent blow in the face breaking the bridge of his nose. It is expected that he will not be able to return to his office for another week. FIFTEEN HUNDRED ROTARIANS from all parts of the state and Canada were guests of the college on Tuesday, June 14, while in , annual convention at Lansing. In the morning a sight seeing tour of the college equipment was head ed by forty instructors and upper classmen. Dinner was served in the gymnasium at noon and supper at night in the armory by Miss Hunt of Club C, assisted by co-eds. In the forenoon the visitors were entertained with exhibition drills ; and stunts by the cavalry of the R. O. T. C, and in the afternoon com petitive sports and athletic events were put on by the Rotarians field, with athletic equipment furnished by the college. T he visitors witnessed the presenta tion of the third annual pageant in the even ing, which was given at this time especially for them. themselves on the athletic T HE LARGEST WOLVERINE ever issued, both in number of pages and in number of copies, edited by the class of 1922, is just now off the press. This year's book, several weeks late from the printers, is beautifully bound and illustrated and contains 478 pages, 60 more than the 1917 publication—the largest before this issue. T he edition is of 1400 copies and the price is $5.25, including postage—which is also the record breaker for cost. But con sidering the completeness of the record of the past year's college activities in picture and story the Wolverine is most reasonably priced. SUMMER SCHOOL ENROLLMENT had climbed up almost to the 500 mark Friday, the largest in the history of the college. With thve late enrollments which always characterize the summer session, Prof. E. H. Ryder, Dean of the summer school, expects the number to ex ceed 500. T W E N TY FORESTRY STUDENTS are in the sum mer camp at East Jordan this year. T he camp is located at the same place as last year, on the lands of the East Jordan Lumber Prof. Chittenden, Prof. Buttrick, and Co.

A. C. at the Western Track Meet in Chicago on June 4 in the first of these meets in which M. A. C. has ever made an entry. Ernst took third in the 440-yard run, the time 51 in which Butler of Michigan took the race was slower than Ernst had made the 440 in on College Field. Three men were taken to the meet by Coach Art Smith, but the three points won by Ernst were the only ones gar nered by M. A. C. T HE FOURTH ANNUAL SUMMER COLLEGE FIELD DAY is scheduled for July 29. T he morning will be spent in a tour which will include visits to the experimental plats, and the col lege live stock and buildings. A basket picnic lunch on the campus, entertainment and recre ational features, and a short afternoon meeting addressed by one or two of the country's greatest agricultural authorities, are among the events which will make the day one of the most important farmers' gatherings of the year.

A. C. and the apparent pol- itical pressure is that to bear. being brought thinking citizens Many of the state, and particularly alumni, realize how disastrous it would be to have the presi insti dency of Michigan's second educational tution become a political football, and they strongly resent the interference of politicians and newspapers in the normal functioning of the body upon whose shoulders falls the selec tion of a President. the candidacy of any good man will be jeopardized thru political interference. Alumni have ex pressed themselves on the general type of man that they should like to see selected but further than that they will not go. It is regrettable if An editorial recently appearing in the Lan sing State Journal entitled "Hands Off M. A. . C." and extracts from which are quoted be low, seems to very ably sum up alumni senti ment : • "The time has arrived when those who even make any pretensions to being friends or sup porters of the work that the Michigan Agri cultural College was established many years ago to do, whether they be ill-informed or fak ing newspaper critics, politicians or even gov ernors, should quit messing in the affairs of the college. "It happens that the responsibility for the conduct of the Michigan Agricultural College rests on the shoulders of the members of the State Board of Agriculture, who are elected by the people. That they "have a serious prob lem in the choice of a successor to Frank S. Kedzie as president of the college goes without saying. In all conscience it is serious enough interference without being from other departments of the state even the- executive, and without the pulling and hauling for this man or against that man which seems to be the delight of some politicians and some newspapers. * * * complicated by "As matters stand it is time to cry 'Hands Off M. A. C..' and let the men who were elect ed for the purpose of running the institution exercise their legal duties without interference, either political or otherwise." This year's pageant was by far the largest extra curricula undertaking ever attempted at M. A. C. and was also one of the most pleasing and successful spectacles ever worked up by faculty and students. As a com and for entertainment THE PAGEANT alumni mencement guests, it was par excellence. The pageant originated the pageant the- senior class and two years ago as its an enterprise of growth, as shown by this year's production, has been phenomenal. In fact the size of tkis year's production has brought forth comments from some sources too that large and may not be undertaken another year. The senior committees in charge have felt the that growth during their spring pressure of term and have made the suggestion in the future the pageant be not "saddled" upon the senior class during its last term when work is heavy, when the Commencement festivities are many and at the time during their whole college course when their burden should be made light. that is Everyone would dislike to see the pageant go by the boards just because it is a big under taking, and particularly in view of the degree it has now attained. Yet of excellence that THE M. A. C. RECORD 7 we surely sympathize with the seniors and feel that they have made a good point in their sug gestion that the organization under whose di rection next year's pageant will fall, be one, other than the senior class. The pageant has become an all-college af fair and it should be put on by an all-college organization or by all the classes and not sad dled upon the seiiors with the heaviest work falling at the one time of life when they are entitled to a breathing spell, if their any such commencement week. is available for them, during their college the .Barbarian," Dramatic Club Scores In "Ingomar" the twelfth an "Ingomar, nual commencement play presented on Mon day evening of Commencement week, by the M.

RECORD Resolutions Passed at The Annual Meeting THE alumni reunion of 1921 brings its train of important events. The old college never looked better, and its future was never brighter. We feel more proud of being Michigan Aggies now than ever before. Yet we real ize that the college cannot be operated on the methods of the past; just as it can not with the money of the past, and that the administrative and teaching force In this connection we greatly dislike to-bid fare must be continually changing. well to President Kedzie, who has devoted some faithful years to the discharge of the most important of all the college offices. We are sensible of the fact that he accepted the office of President only under strong pressure, and that he under took his duties only for a few years. The Kedzie smile will be much missed from the corner room of the library building, and we only wish it might have been housed in more spacious quarters, while discharging the presidential duties. To students of the past, "Uncle Frank" will always be his favorite title. Seldom is it given to mortal man to have such an aggregation of nieces and nephews. We hope that he may in some way continue to be associated with the college in days to come. We have no favorite candidate to promote for the office of President of the College. Yet we express our conviction that, whoever he may be, he should be a man of wide experience as an educator and administrator. We believe he should be a man of strong religious convictions, in common with other college In this we are but reflecting the expressed and university leaders of the day. beliefs of not a few members of the faculty. Many alumni remember with deep est pleasure and gratitude the hours spent at the home of the President and other faculty members in social converse, and this suggests to us that the opportunities for influencing the lives of the students the President and his family through personal contact makes it highly desirable that the incoming President should have his home in the college community. We hope that the Board of Agriculture will not hesitate to pay such salary as may be necessary to secure the right type of leader for M. A.C. The action of the faculty and Board of Agriculture in inaugurating the science course meets with our enthusiastic approval, and we bespeak for this course a wide publicity and suggest the engagement of an experienced dean who will be able to make for this course an honored place in the list of courses. The number of students at M. A. C. is a topic much talked about. We are not of those who believe that an attendance of fifteen hundred or so is the most de sirable number of students for this college. We believe that the investment in property and equipment here and the increased investment of future years re quires as large an attendance as can be secured. We hope for a student body of 2500 in three years, and we believe it entirely possible. Nor do we believe that the enrollment should stop there. We hold that the payment of adequate salaries is essential to an efficient teach ing force and we earnestly hope that there will be no tendency toward a reduct ion of the salary scale adopted by the State Board in 1920. We extend greetings to Doctor Beal, the youthful friend of M. A. C. who once again is with us for commencement reunions. Recognizing the position of the past legislature in regard to the matter of tax ation, we express our approval and appreciation of their action appropriating funds for the building of an Administration Building and a Home Economics Building and the funds for the extension work. THE M. A. C. RECORD 9 We recommend that the President of the M. A. C. Association appoint a committee on legislation to represent the college in state politics which have ref erence to M. A. C. We also recommend that the President of the M. A. C. Association appoint a committee to interest themselves in the election and select ion of future candidates for the State Board of Agriculture. We believe that M. A. C. should have eventually an appropriate and for mal entrance to the college grounds and suggest to the State Board that they provide for some such suitable entrance in the plans for development of the campus. Realizing that the financial conditions of the country have been adverse to.the progress of the Memorial Building fund, we however believe and ask that this project be pushed onward to its goal as soon as conditions will warrant.. In recognition of the hearty interest, and untiring efforts of Harris Thomas as the President of the M. A. C. Association, we express to him our appreciation for his work of the past year and recommend that he be reelected to the office of President of the M.A.C. Association. The recent movement by the alumnae in their work for the furnishing of a practice house on the campus is a progressive step and the alumnae are to be commended5 for their constructive interest in the college. The death of Mrs. Collingwood has left a gap in the college community. Her work for the Student Aid Fund and her loyal interest in M. A. C. will continue to bear fruit for many years to come. She is an example to us all of what a person can do who loves young people and wants to be of service to them. , Word has recently come of the very serious illness of former Professor Weil, Dean of Engineering preceding Dean Bissell. We suggest that the secretary be instructed to send an expression of the sympathy of M. A. C. alumni to Mr. Weil. • - " Signed: E. E. Hotchin '12, Chairman N. A.

However, the strain was too severe for the arm which con quered Michigan, Notre Dame and Purdue so masterly in the past.

Oratory and eats alternated at the College Cafe in the evening where the class banquet was staged under the direction of Mrs. Irma Mioore Wood, with Harold King as toastmaster. BABY CLASS CELEBRATES F I R ST BIRTHDAY The '2oers who returned to the campus this year for the graduation week, started what promises to be an annual affair with that class. Due to the heavy schedule of events on the Commencement program and the desire of the members to witness the coming of a new class, to take their place in the primary department of the alumni, only two hours were set aside for reunion festivities. These were spent at a regular picnic and on the same spot where a year ago Capt. Gillette led her Tug-o'-war huskies to victory. Lack of capable compe tition and an oversupply of eats prevented a repetition of the contest. In spite of the Bonfires ? There sure were. heat a big one that rivaled the Freshmen's blaze served as a beacon to stragglers and over a smaller one sizzled the finest, most luscious weenies ever browned in a fire on the banks of the Red Cedar. Rolls, cold drinks and all the ice cream cones that could be eaten filled the menu and over-filled the feasters. Reports from various members were planned but soon found -unnecessary for long before the sched uled time, everyone of the thirty or more pres ent, knew all about everyone else's location arid conduct for the past year. As a picnic, let us say for "the members not present, it was a decided success ; as a reunion affair it was even better and will probably be placed on the program as an annual event of the class. , —D.

PAGEANT GROUPS p h o to by Leavenworth "History of Michigan" Portrayal in Pageant Is Triumph of Year. With the trees along the river bank form flood ing a natural background, and great lights illuminating the stage of the out-door theatre in Sleepy Hollow, M. A. C.'s third annual pageant was presented on Tuesday and Wednesday nights of Commencement week be fore 5000 people. This year's pageant, "The History of Michigan," a gay panorama depicting the his tory of Michigan, combining allegorical events with historical processions, was much more pretentious in pre vious years. The senior girls, under the di rection of "Mrs. Norma Gilchrist Roseboom, arranged the theme and the principal events. Mrs. Roseboom has also directed the pageant in previous years, but ill health made it neces than anything attempted sary for her to turn it over to someone else it was started, and a professional di after rector, F. K. Cowley, of New York took charge three weeks before the production was put on. Miss Michigan was played by Sylvia W i x- on of Amadore, who was chosen as the most popular young woman in the senior class; and Uncle Sam was played by Jack Foster of East Lansing. The dances of the Indians, the meetings of the Indians with the traders, the appearance of Father Marquette and Joliet, and the pic turesque French traders, as historical events; and the allegorical dances of the seasons, the flowers and blossoms, the fruits, the immi grants, the dance of the waves, symbolical of the coming of the first ship, and the bout be tween John Barleycorn and Sir Temperance, were all interesting and beautiful episodes in the history of our state. THE M. A. C. RECORD What The Union Memorial Building Will Mean to Us. From the Alumni Luncheon Speech of Harold Furlong, '18, Winner of the Congressional Medal of Honor. Fellow Alumni:— Ever since I came home I have wanted to come here for commencement day, but since I entered the University I 'didn't dare come, then, until Mr. McKibbin almost kidnapped me down here today. He insisted that I should come here an talk regardless of the "bact'y" examination which I was sched uled for and it is only through the courtesy of Dr. Novy that I was allowed to have the I have to exam postponed and be with you. right back and will probably be met hurry by Dr; Novy with a quire of examination pa pers as I have got to take that exam, in Bacty there tonight. - this afternoon to the one that this kind in the Union Building. It is hard indeed to present the idea of the Union Memorial Building because at Michigan we take the Union Building as a part of our lives. It is such a part of the institution itself, that we can not dream of the University with out it, and so in a small measure, I am going to try and tell you what the Union means to the University, and picture if you will, as I present that theme, your places in a Building is' now at Michigan, similar located here in the midst of your campus. Think what it would mean to hold a dinner the of same manner in which you started, at Michi gan in 1904 a small group of men conceived the faculty, alumni, and present students could meet on an equal footing. It has taken 17 years of un ceasing efforts to produce the present building at Ann Arbor. That Building represents an outlay of over $2,000,000 raised entirely by alumni and students. The Building alone cost $1,500,000 without the furnishings which cost upwards of $500,000. From the small membership of less than 300 it has grown to 18,000 members and the above embraces, you must realize, men In every walk of life. idea of a campus club, where In The Union has slowly become the center of every activity of college life of which you can think. The Union has stepped forth and has filled a much needed place in the campus in a social way, with a large assembly hall where dances are given every week. Those dances are most popular and are" the means of getting most of the college together. The so cial problem at Michigan has indeed been one.that has been a hard nut to crack. You it was a have so many men attending their question as how you could create t h ru social activities a college spirit. two years that I have been at Michigan I have been trying to find out if there was such a thing as that grand old M. A. C. spirit of. which we are so proud and which we are seeing now found and I don't think that Michigan has In the that yet the secret of that "fight when you are down on your back and keep on fighting." They make one awful bluster and they keep going but they still have yet to incorporate in their The student body a unified student spirit. is one of Union the in unifying student' opinion on present time the campus because the Union. its focus at the biggest factors at it has in their headquarters As a paying proposition, the success of the Michigan Union is not being questioned. This year they think that they will break even. Last year, the first, they were something like two thousand dollars behind, but this year they are going to break even. The other day the dining room they served over 2300 men. That is just one item in their expense account; they have there everything in the way of a city club that the mind of man can conceive, barber shops, bowling alleys, billiard and pool rooms and a swimming pool which has not been com pleted yet but will be very soon, and commit tee rooms which are so popular that not long ago when I tried to get .one for a conference, I found that it was necessary to sign up three weeks in advance to get a room to use for an hour. That will give you some idea of the uses of the Union Building. In talking with Mr. Pond, I remarked, "what could we do without the Union Building at Ann A r b o r ?" where would all the people congregate, where would all the innumerable meetings and con ventions have it were not for the Union ? You have the same prob lem here. What of all the conventions that come to Lansing? They would be glad to come here, were this Building here on the campus. It is necessary to have accommodations where these people can be fed for when a man's hun gry he is always disgusted, and it is simply because he is hungry. Well there is a little advertising in that. As for the M. A. C. Un ion, that is my primary object in being here. If there is anyone here who doubts the suc cess of such a proposition go down to Ann Arbor and sit in the lobby there, and keep your eyes open, and you will be convinced be yond any doubt that the proposition is a suc cess from the cellar to the garret. The trouble is that the Michigan Union isn't big enough. This is going to be the trouble with you if you go ahead and erect a $500,000 structure and the first year after you will wish you had put the Michigan a million dollars Union, and by the way the Washtenaw Coun ty Club had a meeting down- there last base ball game and are expected to have many more there, we are going to furnish a room and we are going to have some chin rests so that you can talk and talk and then rest your chin and talk some more. into In it. if THE M; A. C. RECORD that than today What is going to be the function of a Union Building on the M. A. C. campus? I find it all very well summed up on the back of this sheet but more let me enumerate those again. The great prime need of every is some suitable method by university which the students of the university can relax and entertain themselves socially. I think that Michigan has had more dirt thrown at her on account of the conditions of her students' so cial activities and the same thing keeps pop ping up everywhere. The one unquestionable plan and the solution of all questions that come up are found in the Union Building. You will have room for all necessary social activ ities and undertakings under staid supervision that will be above all question whatever. And that is one of the biggest needs of M. A. C. In the line of all this there are certain men and-women who do not care to dance. There are men who like to play billiards which is a perfectly healthy recreation, and they like to bowl. These are a source of the building and those things are a legitimate part of any club and any building. In the way of activities there must be some points that can be centralized and those can be best done in an M. A. C. Memorial Building. Rooms for alumni and student publications, rooms for the various alumni who come back, all those things can be centered under one roof, and it would give them a new impetus and bring more peo ple on the campus at the same time and give more interest in those things. income to For the alumni the Union building will take on bigger significance in that it will be a Mec ca on the campus to which they will look from all parts of the country. Your M. A. C. Rec ord will come from the Union Building and it will be to the Union Building that you will always return and it is there that a room will be provided for you. You will receive a new impetus, a new bit of pep from the M. A. C. spirit, from the very shrine of everything that is held most dear to M. A. C. It must be from here that this old fight spirit, that has been dying out as the men's dormitories have been removed from the campus, will be brought fellows back. Can you imagine a bunch of from Wells going over to Abbey at midnight and having a gentlemanly scrap in the corri dor? It just isn't being done this year. You know that kind of made men of the fellows. Occasionally I see one or two of the old M. A. C. fellows on the campus at Ann Arbor and we get together and order up a lot of near beer—the nearest we can get, the long distance kind you know—and we talk over those old times. Well, we are going to get them back together again and we are going to give them a big injection of that old-time pep. the Union Building is a very fine one indeed for this rea son. It is in commemoration of service men, men who have made the greatest sacrifice that a man can be called upon to make in his life the memorial idea about Now It in my isn't an life. The most time. ideal thing to go out and die on the battle field. It isn't a pleasant thing. I remember one morning in November 1918 when it seemed to me that the Grim Reaper had drawn my number and was coming to ward me so fast, and I never felt so useless and unnecessary in human thing you can ask a man to do is to sacrifice his college, his home, his family, and everything that he holds most dear, and be shot down in coldest blood. From the indi vidual standpoint it is pure legalized murder. It crushes out the finer thing's in a man's life and leaves it a wreck, to say nothing of the saddened ones left at home. They made the supreme sacrifice and deserve, above every thing else, commemoration. They didn't ask the price, they only went out blindly and died. Somebody came along with a spade and cov ered them up and sent home the ticket to their folks. Their bit in the world is done and the sacrifice is made, but they did it so magnifi cently. If you could see the way they died! After we had trained them for two years they rise up some morning and perhaps from a source that you couldn't even see, perhaps from a bullet from a gun half a dozen miles away we lose that man, quicker than you could snap a It isn't only getting the other fel low, it's getting him before he-can pound the life out of you. finger. And what kept this? them going thru all That old Fight Spirit. And where did they learn that? Right here among you, the idea of service. And that must be the idea of the Union Memorial Building. We could build a monument here on the campus where everyone could see it, but do you think Lankey would want anybody to build a monument here on the campus for him? I think he would much prefer that if he is to be remembered it would be in some such way that M. A. C. men frOm now until time is nothing, will receive some idea of service, the idea that they have a pur pose to fulfill in this world and to receive thru the inspiration of a Union the idea to serve humanity wherever they may be, for all time. It is a fine thing for men to come here and get a diploma but it is a finer thing when you go away to look back with pleasure on those days you spent here. Memories of those years, the fine old trees on the campus, that old pine smell, come back when you think of the old college days and it is going to be finer if you that somebody has died have the inspiration that M. A. C. people may continue to congre gate here together. These individual men are nothing compared to those who died. Let us now start to build for M. A. C. for the future.

After a thorough analysis of Tennyson's works, one must conclude that he was a sturdy advocate of evolution. He probably accepted it more completely than any of the other poets. But although Tennyson welcomed evolution, since it furnished him with new solutions for his philosophic problems, nevertheless he cast aside interpretations and conclu sions which went beyond the domains of sci ence and limits of proof and gave it a fuller and more satisfactory explanation. its narrow that then it was' part of It is a remarkable coincidence that the great is ever prophetic. We need not imagination the origin wonder ality of Tennyson that he had brooded from boyhood on the early theories of evolution, in an age when they were practically unknown to the literary world and were not accepted by the scientific world. His son does not exaggerate when he says, "My father brought evolution into poetry. Even in his Cambridge days he studied it." We are not surprised to find then the idea of evolution dominating so many of his poems. He. referred to it more than any other poet. -Evolution is the central theme of "In Memor- iam". in = the "Idylls", where the whole idea is social in nature, each generation working upon the vantage ground In his mono- gained for it by its predecessors. drama "Maud" there is a fine reference to the evolution of man :— is again dominant It science altogether." Tennyson has fully re pudiated this view, for we find him succeeding in the poetic use of scientific material where others have failed. In the sciences of geology and astronomy Tennyson was especially inter ested, for in those sciences he found, no doubt, ample scope for his poetic imagination. In the following passage the nebular hypothesis and the principle of evolution are plainly evident: "This world was once a fluid haze of light, Till toward the centre set the starry tide, And eddied into suns, that wheeling cast The planets; then the monster, then the man ; Tattooed or woaded, winter-clad in skins, Raw from the prime, and crushing down his mate; As yet we find in barbarous states, And here among the lowest." The possibility of life existing on other plan ets fascinated him and gave him much con solation. The hero in "Locksley Hall, Sixty Years After", soliloquises t h u s: "Venus near h e r! smiling downward at the earthlier earth of ours, Closer on the sun, perhaps a world of never fading flowers. Hesper, whom the poet called the bringer home of all good things, All good things may move in Hesper, per fect peoples, perfect kings." "A monstrous eft was of old the Lord and and again, Master of Earth, For him did his high sun flame, and his .river billowing ran, And he felt himself in his force to be Nature's crowning race. As nine months go to the shaping of an infant ripe for his birth, So many a million of ages have gone to the making of man : He now is first, but is he the last? Is he not too base?" in evolution Throughout Tennyson's philosophic poems we find that evolution is the dominant theme. Perhaps the best expression of Tennyson's in a remarkable belief passage in "Sea Dreams", which embodies a dream of perfect harmony and depicts the rest less spirit of progress the ages. The old statical the world has been swept away beyond recall. throughout is given idea of "Is there evil but on earth? Or pain in every peopled sphere? Well, be grateful for the sounding watch word, Evolution, here." Tennyson's thought centered a great deal upon prevailing social conditions and the prob able future of society. Before the coming of the doctrine of evolution, no one thought of social progress as a pervading reality which was being brought about by natural law. If at all, social progress could only be attained by the improved functioning of social machin ery. With these views underwent a radical change. Not only it was extreme was recognized that evolution is the basis of all social progress ; that society is never in a static condition, that it is undergoing a con tinuous growth, regardless of social machin ery. individualism destroyed, but the coming of evolution Tennyson was a remarkable student of the sciences in general, a fact for which he has been severely criticised, and which causes Stop- ford Brooke to remark questioningly: "How is a poet to avoid trouble in his art when he allows himself to be influenced by scientific theories? He is sure to disturb the clearness to keep out of of his fountain. He ought Tennyson believed in these new principles there even before evolution was known, but the is no doubt the "Origin of that after Species" appeared, Tennyson's grasp of the situation became much clearer. Two domin- nant in his poetry: F i r s t; that any change can only be brought about very slowly, and secondly; that then became recognized thoughts Z4 THE M. A. C. RECORD notwithstanding the onward march of evolu tion, there is still the possibility of retogres- sion, or "Reversion ever dragging evolution in the mud." idea of This the gradual development of society is beautifully set forth in many of his later poems, particularly in Locksley Hall, In Memoriam, The Dawn, and The Evolution ist. But the workings of Evolution are very slow, Tennyson sees no limit to its power, for though 'Man as yet is being made, and ere the crowning age of ages, Shall not aeon after aeon pass and touch him into shape?" industrial progress As he watches the great of the age he realizes that it is only a begin- ing of what is to b e: "Far as the Future vaults her skies, From this my vantage ground, To those still working energies I spy no term, no bound." Evolution and accompanying reversion now furnished Tennyson with a new reason for the existence of evil in the world. The question in the world was now why God sends evil answered: Evil came as a natural reaction to evolution. The poet conceives it under the aspect of animalism, as the "beast" or "brute" in man, only to be wrought out by the slow process of man's continued obedience to moral law. Nevertheless, while he and physcical warns us to " * * * still remember how the course of Crook and Time will swerve, turn upon backward streaming curve." itself in many a he looks forward to a day when the grosser evils of society will be eliminated and hu manity will be purified—a beautiful ideal ex pressed in beautiful words : "At last I heard a voice upon the slope Cry to the summit—'Is there any Hope?' To which an answer pealed from that high land, But in a tongue no man could understand; limit far with And on the glimmering drawn God made himself an awful rose of Dawn." Indeed, he has Tennyson did not confine his art solely to the solution of problems more or less material, but he ventured deeply into the realm of re been ligious philosophy. termed by many a great "religious teacher". In this sphere of thought he certainly holds a unique place, unique, in that for the first time we are presented with religious speculations modified by science; not in any way belittled however, but broader and nobler, embodying sincere conclusions th rough reached the the greatest intellect of thought of perhaps the Victorian Era. The coming of turmoil that the face of the basic structure of evolution brought great religious in the rank of furor and it chal things thinkers for on the Christian lenged church. The world of that day was settled in the-snug belief of a static, impersonal God; a static Heaven and Hell and a static Universe. The theory of f oreordination was largely ac-. cepted, while the first chapters of Genesis were literally interpreted. Small wonder then, that evolution created such chaos and confu sion and the Victorian Era has been the "Age of Doubt and Pessimism". called But because evolution offered new interpre tations and philosophies, it certainly could not question the basis of religion itself. Because the first sixteen chapters of Genesis were re pudiated by science and shown to be only a and beautiful grand science proved the whole Bible and allegory? Yet this was the stand taken by a great many at in that time, and many were they who found the new principle caused to descend into the miserable depths of Atheism. But, after all, this was to be expected, for when any great thought or principle is propounded there are sure to be small minds and souls who will take the extremes and'cling to the superficial evidences and technicalities of the idea rather than to the central idea itslf. allegory, had In an age so thick with doubts and ques tionings Tennyson took the natural course of the true poet. He did not yield to the as saults of doubt or flee from it in fear, but he confronted doubt, valiantly took up the sword against his own questionings, and gave us new solutions theology which we shall ever treasure. in speculative Tennyson has been called a poet of "Faith throughout his poetry Faith and Hope", for and Hope serve as his dominant subjects. Science could not shake off his Christian faith. He considers these wonders ' strange that should draw some men to God and repel oth ers". To those who clamor for proof as to the existence of God or Immortality he an swers that * * * it "Thou canst not prove the Nameless, O my son, Nor canst thou prove the world thou movest in, Thou canst not prove that thou art body alone, Nor canst thou prove that thou art both in one: Thou canst not prove thou art immortal, no •--;'. • Nor yet that thou are mortal—nay, my son, Thou canst not prove that I, who speak with thee, Am not thyself in converse with thyself, For nothing worthy proving can be proven, t h o u. be Nor yet disproven: wherefore wise, THE M. A. C. RECORD 25 Cleave ever to the sunnier side of doubt, And cling to Faith beyond the forms of Faith." • N o! Darwinian Evolution cannot weaken his faith, but is made to minister to it, and lie views the results of science not as dangers, but as reinforcements to faith. He welcomes material progress and industrial vigor, yet shakes himself free of naked materialism.— In support of the belief in the immortality of man, Tennyson advances many reasons and arguments. As he views the great physical and economic changes going on around h i m; as he ponders over the wonderful progress in the biological world—with the constant strug gle of everything for perfection,—he cannot be satisfied with life' ends all. It seems incredible that the great forces of na the ture and civilization should be spent making of man, only to thrust him back after a short lifetime into the. grave of eternal si lence and nothingness. If that were so, what is the purpose of life at all ? idea that the in "What then were God to such as I ?" Such an cries: idea being so . repulsive, his soul "Contemplate all this work of time. The giant laboring in his youth; Nor dream of human love and truth As dying Nature's earth arid lime. But trust that those we call the dead Are breathers of an ampler day For ever nobler ends." in a future Unlike Sir Oliver Lodge, who recently de clared that his belief life "rests upon definite scientific grounds", Tennyson be lieves that, the conviction in immortality has ever been inherent in man. He expresses this in the "Two Voices" and in "Locksley belief Hall—Sixty Years After", the following is quoted * * * from which "Gone forever! Ever? no—for since our dying race began, Ever, ever, and forever was the leading light of man. Those that in barbarian burials kill'd the slave and slew the wife Felt within themselves the sacred passion of the second life. Indian warriors dream of ampler hunting grounds beyond the night; Ev'n the black Australian dying hopes he shall return, a white. Truth for truth, and good for good: the good, the true, the pure, the just—• Take the charm 'For ever from them, and they crumble into dust." Here we have the true antithesis between the scientist and the poet; the one bases his be liefs upon "definite scientific grounds"; and the other looks deep into his own heart and soul for his convictions. Where did this wondrous instinct for im mortality come from? There is no doubt but that the instinct for eternal life is a product of evolution worked into the race through the development of its higher mental powers. As Emerson has truly said, "When God wants to carry a point with the race, He plants H is instincts". God has built arguments into the human soul the sense of eternity, and it it there without some purpose. Having implanted this in man, He will without doubt satisfy it with an infinite reality. incredible to believe that He placed infinite desire i n. the is Men believed in immortality before Tenny son's days, but they had a far different con ception of immortal life from that which was entertained after the evolutionary principle be gan to sway the thoughts of men. Tennyson scorned the view in which the spirit in the fu in a blissful ture life paradise,—• is depicted as resting "No sudden Heaven, or sudden Hell for man." Neither does he yearn, as Spenser does, "for that land where no more change shall be". Rather does he believe that "From state' to state the spirit walks". Gradually undergoing a process of evolution, the spirit possibly evolves from planet to plan et * * * the spheres, an ever opening "Thro all height, an ever lessening earth". countless after life", "Ever Finally, the heightening general soul or God or ''turns again home". This is the "divine event" to which the poet refers in his last lines in "In Memoriam". this soul emerges cycles of into "That God which ever lives and loves, , One God, One Law, One Element, And one far-off divine event To which the whole creation moves". to us We have thus sketched the influence of the great theory of evolution upon the master mind of the Victorian Era. Rising above the ag nosticism, the doubts and the pessimism of his day, Tennyson sings those optimistic melodies of Faith and Hope, Love and Law, that "gleam" be constantly reminding us of yond us, which he so ardently followed. Even -while the shadow of death is hovering above him we still hear him sing the glad song of faith. His soul last over "this embattled wall of unbelief", as he calm ly, nay eagerly, awaits the call to the "starry track" of the great beyond,— is triumphant at "Glimmering up the heights beyond me On, and always on'." —Herman E.

A, C. rostrum fifty years ago, I recollect that Dr. J. B. Angell, President the Michigan State University, who was of present and addressed the graduating class, did me the honor of mentioning favorably my amateur effort to set the College right before the state. At that time there were many com plaints throughout the state that graduates of this insiuion did not, as a rule, take up farm ing as a life-work. These complaints emanat ed usually from gentlemen who always op posed the college on general principles, deem ing it a waste of teach farmer boys what they were pleased to term "Book-Farming." So these aggressive icono clasts tried their best to wreck the college— it in its infancy; and many a hard strangle fight its friends had before committees in the state legislature to get even the small appro priation of $25,000 for the annual upkeep of this institution of learning. I held in my thesis on that memorable day, fifty years ago, that is a laudable occupation, and while farming time and money to that there are even more that graduates of M. A. C. who choose farm ing as a life-work should be encouraged to do farming so, as their knowledge of scientific learned here would be an. object-lesson to their neighbors.

A. C. RECORD For the Betterment of Mankind IN the rush of present-day living, very few of us ever stop for a moment to sum up the benefits of modern civilization or to con trast them with past inconveniences. Electricity, for instance. Marvelous, we say, but there we stop. What makes it marvel rather ous? Not what has been done, but It is what yet remains to be accomplished. the undeveloped possibilities of this magic force which make the whole world wonder what will come next. And it is the future which will determine just to what extent electricity may become a faith ful servant of the public. The past achieve ments of the General Electric Company are now everyday history—from the chaining of Nature to create electric power, to the vast number of ways for making that, power use ful in the daily life of every human being. Each year has seen some new contribution from G-E to the world's progress. That this will continue is certain, because of the fact that this whole organization and its remark to studying the able facilities are devoted in every walk of requirements of mankind life and fully satisfying them with something electrical. 95-384 I | TRANSMISSION TRANSPORTATION ?£ffi? ^— _~ -~
