December 7, for the purpose of discussing the widening of Grand River and Michigan Ave nues opposite the campus. The meeting was well attended and it was their action that the construction of a boulevard drive from Harri son Avenue to BogUe treet along the north edge of the campus should be had and that the matter be taken up with the State Board of Agriculture, and the county and the high way department It is proposed to have the expense stood by the county and the town ship and spread over the taxes of the city and adjoining property owners. T he meeting further took action to confer with the Board of Agriculture with reference to construction of a formal entrance to the campus in con they nection, with the boulevard plan which have in mind. • ' T HE DEEP REGARD in which Director Brewer is held by Lansing business men and the close relationship he has established between city and college was shown by the loud applause which greeted toastmaster "Vic" Pattengill's laudation of Director Brewer's fight for clean athletics and his reputation throughout the state for his stand on clean athletics. Strong denunciation of the intent behind the rumors current in state papers and purporting to em anate from the "state house" relative to Di rector Brewer's replacement is heard in Lan sing business circles. The banquet in honor of Lansing high school boys who are now play ing on college teams was given at the Lansing Country Club and attended by 150 business men. Six, M. A. C.

T he play is being given by the Dramatic Club and Drama League players and it is hoped that at least $200 may be real ized from the project. T HE INTEREST IN THE DISARMAMENT DISCUS SIONS as shown by the number of students turning out for these meetings each Sunday morning, is a matter of remark by Doctor Ward Giltner of the bacteriology department who is the leader.

C. • branch of the American Chemical Society to hear Dr. Paul Nicholas Leech of the American Medical Association at 6:30 o'clock Tuesday evening in the Elks Home. The occasion was the annual banquet of the M. A. C. section of the American Chemical Society. Dr. Leech talked on "Objectionable Home Remedies." The Ingham County Med ical Society and the local section of the Soci ety of American Bacteriologists were in at tendance at the invitation of the college soci interest Dr. ety. Because of the unusual Leeche's work holds for medical men and bac teriologists generally, it was decided not to confine the affair exclusively to the members of the M. A. C. group. 6 THE M. A. C.

The Grand River road in its passage along the campus and through East Lansing, constricted as it. is at no other point • in its entirety. At the present time this is becoming a menace to the safety of students and East Lansing citizens and East Lansing business men are to be congratulated upon taking a forward step before some serious accident has brought it forcibly to the atten tion of all. Bringing the grand old Elm Row into the center of the Grand River road as a boule vard, is a wonderful project as far as M. A. C. is concerned and will mean a substantial beau- tification of one of Michigan's oldest and best known-highways. With it we hope there may be brought about the construction of a beau tiful and impressive gateway which will form ally mark the entrance to the M. A. C. campus.

RECORD In the second issue considered by the court, that of claim by the Battle Creek concern that the revenue should go into the primary school interest fund, the court holds that the present constitution definitely provided that the state may use any and all kinds of new reve nues for general purposes. The history of the constitutional convention of 1907 is reviewed briefly by the court, which maintains that clearly both the people and the members of the convention realized that the primary school fund was increasing rapidly, had sufficient revenues, and all new fields for taxation should be left open for use in finan cing the general expenses of the state.

Thus, it says, the state was left "free hand in dealing with every other source of revenue, every other subject." There is a possibility of course that the case may be carried to the United States Supreme Court. PROFESSOR R. K.

Another wrong con ception is that the horse business controls the amount of work that a doctor of veterinary medicine does. Hogs take up 26 per cent of his time, cattle 21 per cent, dogs 18 per cent, sheep 10 per cent, and horses only 10 per cent, poultry 9 per cent, and cats 6 per cent.

Unfortunate because it is a letter that should be written and should be burned be fore being mailed. The past of M. A. C. is too glorious, the present is too great and the future holds a promise which only the most ardent supporters faith can hope to envision. with unbounded Let us not besmirch this record by present- day utterances of "I would be strong for the M. A. C. Association if it did me any good to be so." M. A. C. is the Alma Mater of every alum nus. Right or wrong it belongs to each and every one of us. Can we net drop the petty selfishness of personal gain or loss in the big vision of the future? On every side one hears wonderful plans being made and sees them put into execution. Right now it is a big athletic field and stadium, new buildings, less dead timber in the teach ing force and an administrative body that will co-operate with each other and with the State Board for the betterment of all phases of the institution. It is up to us to throw in our backing and bring all these things that should be to a suc cessful fruition. Don't take your toys home because you are disgusted, stick till the game is played out. Yours very truly, Dick Sullivan '17. Washnigton, D. C, Nov. 6, 1921. Mr. C. W. McKibbin, Editor, East Lansing, Mich. Dear Mr. McKibbin:— May I add my bit to the name question? It often seems to me that those in charge of to the destiny of M. A.

M. A. C. has or should have passed the juvenile stage.

I do not consider the word agricultural in the name of the qollege an asset, but rather a The liability ideas which reason for this is the erroneous in prevail in regard such an institution. The general public can not conceive of anything being taught at an agricultural college except plowing, • seeding and care of animals. The wish is father of the thought. The general public does not de sire the agricultural colleges to perform any other service than to turn out super-hired men to till the farms so that the general public may be well supplied with food and raiment. Sixty-four years have done towards changing this popular conception and the next century will probably be as unsuccessful. It is a slow, difficult matter to change a popular belief when people do not wish to have their beliefs changed. little is taught in a state college It seems to me that it would be much easier to educate the public to an understanding that agriculture than that anything else is taught besides the art of farming in a agricultural college. Anyone must grant that public opinion and good un derstanding means much to an institution such I believe it is time that the scis as M. A. C. sors were used on is no the curls. There need to camouflage M. A. C. to make it appear what states have it changed their agricultural- col leges to state colleges and I believe the sooner that this is done for M. A.
