K e ys  to t he  Library. 

Keys,  not to the doors,  but to the 
books, or to the facts within  the books. 
It  is easy  to put oneself  within  phys 
ical  reach  of  the  20,000  books  in 
our  library,  but  not  so  easy  to get 
within  mental  reach.  Some  one has 
said  ( w as  it  D r.  Johnson?) 
that 
there  are two  kinds  of  knowledge: 
the 
them 
selves; the  second  more  valuable, to 
k n ow  where  to  find 
facts.  T he 
purpose  of  this  article  is to  indicate 
learning 
a  few  first  steps 
where  to look  for  materials  of  cer 
tain  kinds  in our  library. 
If  the student  wishes 

first  is  to  know  facts 

toward 

title  and  author 

TO  FIND  A  GIVEN  BOOK, 
the  title  or author of which  is  known, 
the  first  thing  to do is to consult the 
card  catalogue,  which  he  will  find 
in  the neat  case at his  right  just  after 
entering  the  room.  This  is a  com 
catalogue, 
bined 
with  cards  alphabetically  arranged 
in  a series  of  drawers.  Besides  the 
title  and  author,  each  card  contains 
at  the  left  what  is  called  the card 
number  of  the volume—a  combina 
tion  of  letters  and  figures  separated 
by  a  period.  This  card  number  is 
placed  on the back  of the book, and 
also  on  the  inside  cover.  T he  first 
letter  represents  the subject  or  class 
to  which  the  book  belongs;  for in 
stance,  E  denotes  biography,  F  his 
tory  Y  literature.  Additional  letters 
or  figures  before  the  period  denote 
subclasses;  YF  denotes  fiction  and 
YP  poetry;  still  further  subdivided, 
Y P 45  denotes  English  poetry  and 
Y P 83  American  poetry.  A ll books 
belonging  to the same  class  or  sub 
together,  and t he 
class  are  placed 
case  containing  these  books  bears  a 
label  corresponding  to the characters 
on  the card  at the left  of the  period. 
T he  next  step  is  to  find  the  case 
bearing  the given  label,  and the  sec 
tion  and  case  containing  books  of 
that  subclass. 
T h at  is, if  one  is 
looking  for a volume  of  poetry, the 
first 
thing  is  to  find  the  case  con 
taining  poetry;  and,  if  he  wishes  a 
volume of American  poetry  (  Y P 8 3) 
he  must  pass  by  English  poetry 
( Y P 4 5 ). 
In  each  case  are  three 
sections,  which  follow  in  succession 
from  left  to  right; 
the  succession 
of  shelves  in  each  section  is  from 
the  top  downward.  WTithin  each 
subclass,  the  books  are  arranged 
alphabetically  according  to the  name 
of  the author.  N ow the part of the 
of  the 
card  number  to  the  right 
period  may be of  assistance  in  locat 
ing  the book  quickly.

But  suppose  the student  wishes

well  to go to another.  T he  Britan-

tains  more  on  American 
topics. 
T he  Annual  brings  things  down  to 
date  each  year.  Every  student  who 
does  not already  know  these  books 
could  well  afford  to  give  an  hour 
some  day to glancing  them  over  to 
see  what  each  contains. 
It  may 
safely  be  said  that  the student w ho 
does  not  learn  while  here  h ow  to 
use  cyclopedias,  has  missed  a  very 
important  part  of  his education. 

But  the student  should  also  learns 

to  use certain  other 

BOOKS  SUPPLEMENTARY  TO  THE 

CYCLOPEDIAS, 

Moreover, 

such  as  Haydon's  Dictionary  of 
Dates, Lippincott's  Gazeteer,  States 
man's  Year-Book, 
and  Hazell's 
Annual.  These  books  are all  worth 
knowing.  T he  student  w ho  will 
take  time  to look  them  over  will be 
surprised  to  find  how  much  more 
easily  thereafter  he can put  himself 
in  command  of  certain  kinds  of 
information.

every  department  in the library has 
a  dictionary  or cyclopedia  or  some 
thing  of the sort,  devoted  to a class

W o m en  of  the  Time,  Allibone's 
Dictionary  of  Authors,  (5  vols.) 
Appleton's  Cyclopedia  of  American 
Biographies  (6 vols.),  and  largest 
and  best  of 
all,  Dictionary  of-
National  [ E n g l i s h]  Biography,  of 
which  we  now  have  53  volumes 
with  several  yet to  follow. 

Besides  all  these,  there  are two 
other  keys  of  especial  value.  One 
of  these is 

POOLE'S 

I N D EX  TO 

P E R I O D I C AL 

L I T E R A T U R E, 

a  key that  unlocks  the  door  to that • 
vast  wealth  of  information  on  all 
classes  of  subjects  contained  in the 
leading  magazines  and,  reviews. 
F or  information  on  a  wide  variety 
of  subjects,  there  is nothing  to  com 
pare  with  bound  volumes of the  lead 
ing  periodicals,  and  Poole's  Index  is 
the  key to this  great  storehouse.  In 
using  this,  the  student  should  re 
member  that  the  Index  has  grown 
the  bounds  of  a  single 
beyond 
volume.  T he  first  volume  brought 
it  down  to  1882,  the First  Supple 
ment  covers  the  years  1882  to  1887, 
the  Second  Supplement  1887  to 
1892,  and  the  Third  Supplement, 
which  we  have  not  yet  received, 
1892  to  1897.  On recent  topics the 
later  Supplements  are of  course the 
best,  yet I  have  known  students  to 
use  some  one of the earlier  volumes 
and  come  away  satisfied  with  statis 
tics  as to  mormonism,  capital  pun 
ishment,  etc.,  musty  with age. 

Another  key of  very  great  utility 

is the 

A.  L.  A. INDEX  TO GENERAL  LITER 
ATURE. 

This  is  designed  as  an  index  to 
"all  books  common  in our libraries 
which  treat  several  subjects  under 
one 
title,  and  to  the  contents  of 
which  the ordinary  catalogue  furn 
ishes  no guide." 
It  would  take too 
much  space  to indicate  the  classes of 
topics  catalogued  in  this  A. L. A. 
Index,  for it  covers  almost  as  broad 
a  field  as  Poole's  Index.  As  the 

references  are  to  topics 
treated  in 
books,  it  is  safe  to  assume  that  in 
many  instances  the  thought  content 
of  these  articles  is superior  to that of 
the  magazine  articles  referred  to  in 
Poole's  Index.  A  smaller  book  of 
similar  nature  is  Matson's  Refer 
ences  for  Literary  Workers.  L et 
no  one  be  misled  by  the  words 
in  the  titles 
literature  and literary 
of 
these  keys;  they  contain  just  as 
full  references  to  science,  politics, 
economics,  history,  art,  etc., as  to 
literature  in its limited  sense. 

All  of  these  keys  except  Matson's 
References  for  Literary  W o r k e rs 
are  on the table  in the  second  alcove 
from  the east  on  the  north  side  of 
the  gallery.  It has  occurred  to  me 
that  as the A. L. A. Index  refers  to 
articles  in books  on the lower 
floor, 
it  would  be more  convenient  to  have 
it  also  on  the  lower 
floor.  But it 
matters  less  where  these  books are 
than  that  students  should  learn how 
to  use  them.  By using  these  keys 
the  student  will  soon  learn  where  to 
look  and how to look,  or  in  a  word 
how  to  make  use  of a library, and 
that  surely  is  a  training  of  great 
value  to any one.

To  T HE R E C O R D : — On  some  re 
cent  ramblings  among  the  farmers 
in  this  county,  I  found  myself  quite 
unexpectedly  within  a  mile  of  the 
home.  His  magnetic 
R o d g m an 
needle,  or more  magnetic  pen,  must 
have  attracted  me,  for  soon  I had 
covered  the  distance  and  made the 
acquaintance  of  M.  A. C.'s  poet of 
'62. 

Mr.  Hodgman's  home  has  the 
surroundings  of 

proverbial  poetic 
the  singers  to  Nature.  An  atmos 
phere of peace  and contentment  sur 
rounds  all, and  the  M. A.  C.  man 
is  made  to  feel  at home  in  the cot 
tage  among  the  burr-oaks. 

T he  suveyor's  office  has  become 
the  poet's den.  On the wall,  works 
of  art  executed  by  the  same  hand, 
tell  of diversified  talent  and of  trips 
into  western  wildernesses.

This  is  the

in  Southern  Michigan.  F or a  third

a  last  survey.  On  this  same

M.  A.  C.  has  in  F r a nk  H o d g 
man,  poet,  a  type  worthy  our best 
.efforts  to imitate.  He feels  strongly 
the  chords that  bind  us all to the  old 
campus,  and has much  of  that  other 
attribute  of  the  M.  A. C.  man,—a 
liking  and  sympathy  for .the  rest of 
us  just  because  we  are  sons  of  the 
same  campus.  His  interest  in his 

fellow  alumni  is great.  Their  bat 
tles  in  life's  uncertainties  move him 
for  he realizes  that all 

"seeds  have  sown, 
In  other  fields  to be grown." 

W i th  the young  man he is  young 
too,  for he it is  w ho "has turned  his 
transit  back  on  life's  course,  for  a 
back  sight  over  the  years  gone by, 
and  the corners  passed."

Dr.  M a n ly  Miles. 

On  February  16th,  1898, at  his 
home  in  Lansing,  died  D r.  Manly 
stu 
Miles.  To  those  w ho  were 
i860 
dents  at  the College  between 
and  1875, t he announcement  of  his 
death  brought  sincere  sorrow.  He 
was  to us a loyal  friend,  an inspiring 
professor,  a  pioneer  leader  in the 
agriculture 
teaching  of  practical 
from  the scientific  standpoint.  O ur 
memories  of the College  always in 
cluded  thoughts  of  the  companion 
able  doctor;  of  many 
profitable 
hours  in his lecture  room;  of  many 
long  walks  in his company 
through 
woods  and  marshes  with  free  talk 
about  science, and  evolution,  and the 
many  questions  which  eager  youth 
is  ever  asking;  of  the  hospitable 
welcome  always  given  us  by him 
and  his genial  wife  at their  home on 
the  campus.

interested 

T he  spring 

first 
found  Dr. Miles  in the  corps  of  pro 
fessors  as occupant  of  the  chair  of 
Zoology  and  Animal  Physiology. 
He  was  thoroughly 
in 
the  subjects  he  taught,  and  showed 
that  interest  in his work,  and  in  his 
treatment  of his students.  He  soon 
won  our confidence  and aroused our 
interest.  He labored  incessantly for 
his  classes. 
In  my  class,  that  of 
1862,  there  were  five  students.  F or 
this  small  number  he  worked  as 
faithfully  as if  we had numbered  as 
many  score.  T he equipment  of his 
department  was  at  that  time  most 
meagre,  but  his' private  apparatus 
and  collections  were  somewhat ex 
tensive,  and these  were  freely  used 
for  class  work.  He  had  the me 
chanical 
touch  which  enabled him 
to  manufacture  numerous  articles 
for  class  use.  He was  on  the  alert 
for  every  chance  for 
illustration 
which  occasion  offered;—an  animal 
slaughtered  for the tables  gave  him

viscera;  a walk  over  the  drift-cov 
ered  fields  found  many  specimens of 
rock  which  he  taught  us  to  dis 
tinguish; 
the  mud  and  the  sand 
banks  along  the  river  showed how 
in  the periods  of the dim past  were 
formed  fosil  foot-prints  and ripples; 
the  woods  and  swamps  and  lakes 
gave  many  useful  living  specimens, 
some  of  which  became  material  for 
the  improvised  dissecting  room;  the 
crayon 
in  his  hand  produced  on 
board  or paper  the chart  of  geologic 
ages,  the  table  of  classification,  or 
the  drawing  of  the  part  of  an 
animal  under  discussion. 

At  that  time  in  most  schools  the 
old text-book  method  still held  sway. 
Not  much  was then  said  in the Mid 
dle  West  about  the new education, 
but  the  spirit  of  that  great  onward 
movement  began  to freshen  the air,

and  D r. Miles  was  one of  its  first 
and  ablest  helpers.  He  used 
text 
books,  but  his  living  word  supple 
mented  the  book;  and  the  animal 
from  the  farm  under  his  knife  and 
ours,  the shells  which  he  led  us to 
find  under  rotten  logs  and along the 
river  and lakes, the insects  he taught 
us  to collect  and classify,  the  miner 
als  and  fossils  he had collected  on the 
geological  survey  of  Michigan,—all 
were  used  to instruct  and inspire  his 
students,  to  cultivate  in  them  the 
scientific  spirit  and  method. 

agriculture 

F r om  1865 to  1870 there  began 
to  be a demand  for teachers  of scien 
in 
tific 
the  colleges 
founded  under 
the  congressional 
land  grant  of 1862.  But there  were 
almost  no men  trained  to  teach  the 
practical  application  of chemistry  to 
manures  and  crops  and  feed-stuffs; 
of  physiology 
to  stock-breeding; 
and  of  geology  and physics  to  soils. 
Of  old school  scientists  there  was no 
lack;  able  men w ho were  familiar 
with 
laboratories  and 
with  the  old  theories  and  methods 
of  science,  b ut  they  were 
trained 
prior  to the days  of  evolution  and of 
the  conservation  of  energy,  and  they

were  mainly  men of the study  rather 
than  of the  field  and the orchard, of 
the  breeding  pen  and  the  feeding 
stable. 

Dr.  Miles'  knowledge  of  science 
and  his  familiarity  with  practical 
agriculture  inclined  him to enter  this 
field  of  agricultural 
teaching  and 
experimentation.  President  Abbot 
and  some  members  of  the Board of 
Agriculture  advised  in the  same di 
rection.  Selfish  consideration  of  his 
own  interests  would  have  kept  him 
in  the chair  of  Zoology  and Animal 
Physiology,  where  he  was  already 
an  assured  success.  But he  gradually 
yielded  to the inner and the outer  pres 
sure.  In i864he  allowed  the dutiesof 
" A c t i ng  Superintendent 
the 
F a r m" to be attached  to his chair.  In 
1865 he became  professor  of "Animal 
Physiology  and  Practical  Agricul 
ture  and  Superintendent  of  the 
F a r m ." 
time 
In  1869  his  whole 
was 
required  in  agriculture,  and 
he  gave  up  teaching  Physiology. 
In  1875 the  work  had so far evolved 
that  he confined  himself  to  the  du 
ties  of  "Professor  of  Agriculture," 
the  work  of "Superintendent  of the 
F a r m"  passing  into  other  hands. 

of 

F r om  the  first  his work  in  practi 
cal  agriculture  was  hampered  by 
stumpy  and  undrained  fields,  inade 
quate  and  poorly  constructed  barns 
and  stables,  few  and  inferior  ani 
mals,  and all  equipments  meager  in 
amount  and  primitive  in  character. 
He  set  himself  resolutely  to  over 
come  these  drawbacks.  T he  farm 
was  divided  into  suitable  fields,  the 
old 
fields  were  stumped  and new 
ones  cleared,  the  cattle  barn  was 
ventilated,  a good  sheep  barn  and a 
grain  barn  were  built,  animals  of 
many  of  the improved  breeds  were 
bought,  and the best  machinery was 
gradually  secured.  Year  by  year 
the  whole  atmosphere  of  the  agri 
cultural  department  changed  until 
in  some  measure  it  approached  his 
ideal. 

To  D r.  Miles  the  whole  equip 
ment  of  the agricultural  department, 
—lands,  buildings,  animals, 
tools, 
machinery,  apparatus—constituted  a 
"laboratory"  for  teaching  agriculture 
and  for conducting  agricultural  ex 
periments. 
It  was not  a  money-
making  but a man-making  establish 
ment.  All was for  the  training  of 
students  and  for  the  discovery  of 
truth. 
T h at  he  was  successful  is 
shown  by the  fact  that  many  of his 
students  became  successful 
farmers, 
and  others  have  been  among  the 
most  successful  professors  of  agri 
culture  and experiment  station  work 
ers  in  many  States  of the Union  and 
in  foreign  countries.

Dr.  Miles  could  overcome  the ma 
terial  difficulties  of  his  work,  but 
difficulties 
there  were 
immaterial 
against  which  his  tireless 
industry 
and 
trained  ability  were,  for  the 
time,  powerless.  T he public  knew 
education 
nothing  of  agricultural 
and  experimentation,  and  expected 
impossible.  Legislators  could

show 
training  and 
their  cheap wit by ridiculing one who 
spent  in an experiment  more  money 
than 
single  experiment  re 
turned.  Fellow  professors  had  not 
always  the training  and  the  charac 
ter  that  enabled  them  to mind  only 
their  o wn business  and  to  refrain 
from  the  biting  gibe  that  led  some 
students  and  some  of  the  public  to 
look  lightly  on  D r.  Miles'  far-see 
ing  work.  Some  members  of the 
Board  of  Agriculture,  having  no 
scientific  training  and b ut  little  gen 
eral 
culture,  and  absolutely  no 
knowledge  of  educational  methods 
and  scientific  experimentation,  were 
easily 

influenced  against  one  who,

was  working  in  a  new  field  where 
results  are  necessarily  slow. 

To  Dr.  Miles  came  experience 
similar  to  that  of  pioneers  in  other 
important  fields.  His work  was not 
appreciated,  and  he  was  not  sus 
tained.  Weary  and  disappointed  he

that  Dr.  Abbot,  president 
to  record 
of  the  College  during  nearly  all  the 
time  that  Dr.  Miles  was  connected 
with  it,  gave  him  always  the  most 
friendly  sympathy  and  support,  that 
the  Board  of 
some  members  of 
Agriculture  had  for  him  a  high 
appreciation,  that  some  of  his  fellow 
professors  recognized 
the  practical 
value  of  his  ideas,  and  that  many  of 
his  students,  now  scattered  widely 
through  the  world,  gratefully 
trace 
their  success  to  the  training  he  gave 
them  and to the methods  they  learned 
in  his  farm  laboratory. 

resigned 

Dr.  Miles  accepted  the  chair  of 
agriculture  at  the  Illinois  University 
when  he 
in  Michigan. 
From  Illinois  he  went  to  Houghton 
Farm,  N.  Y.,  where  he  took  charge 
of  experiments  in  agriculture.  Later 
he  accepted  the  chair  of  agriculture 
in  the  Massachusetts  Agricultural 
College.  With  his  work  at  these 
places  I  am  not  familiar  and  will 
not  further  speak.  T h r o u g h o ut  his 
life  he  was a  frequent  contributor  to 
the  agricultural  and  scientific  press, 
and  a  frequent  speaker  before  asso 
ciations  and 
institutes,  where  his 
lectures  were  able  and  practical. 
He  published  a  volume  on  "Stock-
breeding"  which  has  had  wide  cir 
culation  and  has  been  much  used  as 
a  class  book.  Another  volume  on 
•"Experiments  with  Indian  C o r n" 
gives  the  results  of  important  work 
which  he  did  at  Houghton  F a r m. 
His  "Silos  and  Ensilage"  helped 
much  .in  diffusing  a  knowledge  of

T he  W a n d e r i ng  Singer  and 
His  S o n g s. 

One  of  the  handsomest  College  souvenirs 
ever  published  is  the  book  of  poems  by 
T?alik""lfrbaIg?rnahT  '''62,  of  'Cfima~x"~en'tftfed~ 
"The  Wandering  Singer  and  His  Songs  and 
Other  Poems."  The  book  is bound  in  peb 
bled  white  cloth  with  blue  and  gilt  trim 
mings,  contains  185 pages,  and  is printed  on 
excellent  paper  with  full  gilt  edges. 
It  is 
beautifully 
illustrated  with  half-tones  of 
College*and  other  scenes  and  with  sketches 
bv  Prof.  W.  S.  Holdsworth,  '78.  and  E.  N. 
Thayer, 
'93.  In  that  part  of  the  book  de 
voted  to  College  poems  there  is  hardly  a 
page  that  does  not  suggest  sweet  memories 
of  days  gone  by,  not  only  for  the  student  o 
the  sixties but  for  the  student of the  nineties 
as well.  Everybody who has  seen  the  work 
is delighted  with  it.—M. A. C. RECORD,  Feb.
