'PAR'l'A,·  HA:>IDBOOK 

WELCOME  FROlll  THE  PRESIDENT 
I  suppose  that  you  have  entered  College 
with  the  feeling  that  you  have  tour  long 
years  ahead  ot  you.  You  wlll  !Ind  that 
they  will  pass  all  too  rapidly  and  thal  I! 
you  are  fortunate  enough  to  come  to  your 
senior  year  you  will  wonder  where  the  Lime 
has  gone. 

The  great  temptation  ot  the  College  stu 
dent  these  days  Is  to  use  time  as  generously 
as  our  American  people  are  becoming  ac 
customed  to  use  money.  But  there  Is  an 
odd  thing  about  tlme,-each  person  hR•  Rs 
much  as  every  other  person,  yet  the  supply 
ls  st rictl y 
Is 
wasted  forever. 
It  can  never  be  recalled. 
There  ls  no  way  yet  discovered  ot  "mak 
ing"  time. 

limited.  An  hour  wasted 

that  you  determine 

Therefore,  I  give  you  the  counsel  ot  one 
who  has  watched  College  students  for  many 
years, 
to  put  e,·ery 
hour  to  Its  best  possible  use.  Thls  tloe, n't 
mean  that  you  shall  work  all  the  tlme,  but 
It  does  mean  that  you  wlll  select  out  ot  the 
scores  of  demands  upon  your  time  thoi-;e 
things  that  count  for  most  ln  your  educa 
tion  and  ln  your  life. 

You  are  entering  College  during  our  An 
niversary  year.  The  College  has  attained 
the  age  that  Is  supposed  to  be  the  normal 
limit  ot  Rn 
lndlvldual's  lite,  "three  score 
years  and  ten."  But  a  College  Is  really 
immortal.  M.  S.  C.  wlll  probably  be  here 
a 
thousand  years  from  now.  You  prob 
ably  think  of  lt  as  an  old  College,  but  lt 
Is  really  not  very  old.  Furthermore,  a  reRI 
College  ls  always  young,  always  vital,  al 
ways  alive,  always  progressing. 
I  welcome 
you  to  a  live  College. 

Wlth  all  good  wishes  for  happy  years 
here  and  great  success  in  life  In  the  years 
to  come, 

I  am 

Sincerely  yours, 
KENYON  L.  BUTTERFIELD.

RE~MBEB 
Remember  that  in  college  as  In  life  all  Is 
not  in  just  getting  by.  The  real  clever 
feJJow  has  space  enough  over  the  line  for 
his  name. 

Honoraries  on 

the  campus  are  simply 
:;1tars  that  one  shoots  at  but  never  aims 
directly  at. 

Know  ye  that  upon  this  campus  is  one 
the 
Blg  Man.  Upon  his  shoulders  rests 
task  of  satlsfying  our  lust  tor  victory  in 
rivalry  of  colleges.  He  ls  a  good  trlend  to 
every  one  who  ls  all  for  State.  Freshmen 
have  no  choice  for  the  tlrst  four  days,  then 
it  couldn't  be  otherwise. 

Traditions  occupy  a  sentimental  spot  In  a 
college  man's  heart  and  those  hearts  are 
the  spirit  that  a  real  college  ls  made  of. 
Study  them  and  help  keep  them  sacred  or 
live  the  life  of  a  transgressor.

and  with  so  much  piety  that  It  Is  almost 
as  serious  an  ortense  to  break  a  command 
ment  as  to  Ignore  a 
tradition.  State  has 
Its  tradition•  that  are  varied  and  Individual 
as  well  as  general. 
In  the  following  lines 
are  some  enumerated  that  apply  especially 
to  the  freshman.  Bear  In  mind  that  It  Is 
your  privilege  to  be  subject  to  these  rules. 
If  you  all  stl~k  to  them  In  particular  and 
together  In  general  you  will  have  a  class 
spirit  that  will  come  up  to  any  other: 

1.  You  are  required  to  wear  at  all  times. 
except  Sunday,  a  Green  Pot  to  distinguish 
you  as  a  newcomer.  Also  you  are  to  wear 
a  coat  that  Is  buttoned,  and  never  to  ap 
pear  In  public  otherwise  attired. 

2.  You  nre  not  p  rmltted  to  be  seen  In 
company  with  a  co-ed  or  any  girl,  on  the 
campus  or  In  East  Lansing. 

3.  Fresbrrran  men  never  remain  seated  In 
street  cars  or  houses  when  upperclassmen 
are  standing. 

4.  The  prlvllege  of  wearing  a  mustache, 
derby  hat,  and  cane  belongs  exclusively  to 
the  senior  class.  Freshmen  never  hesitate 
to  do  things  for  a  senior,  and  always  mnk 
way  for  any  upperclassman.
