This or ganization, counting among its mem bers some of the most intelligent and progressive men of the State, immedi ately began agitating the question of eslablishing a state agricultural school. Jn January, 1850, Bela Hubbard of the executive committee presented a strong memorial to the legislature upon this subject which may have borne fruit, for, the l!>gislature was directed to provide for the establishment of an agricultural Rchool as soon as practicable. the fall of 1853, a the University established chair of agriculture which was discontinued the next year, owing to the death of Rev. Charles Fox, who had been elected to fill it, and the course was never revived, for the legis lature of 1855 passed an act which re sulted present institution apart from the Uni versity. Under the provisions of this act, the executive committee of the State Agricullural Society was to select a Rile for an agricultural school within ten miles of Lan~ing and contract for the purchase of not less than five hun dred nor more than one thousand acres of land to be used in connection there with, subject in both respects to the ap proval of the State Board of Education, which body was made the board of control. the establishment of The result of this was that on June the in 36 FRESHMAN HANDBOOK 12, 1855, the executive committee of lhe Agricultural Society met at Lansing to receive proposals and accepted the one offering the present site which is lo cated three and one-half miles east of lhe city of Lansing, at that time only a little clearing in lhe woods. On February 15, 1856, the contract was let for the erection of the College building known as College Hall, and 'tlso for the erection of a dormitory and boarding house, later familiarly known as "Saints' Rest." The funds for the purchase of lands and erection of buildings were derived from the sale of what were known as 8alt Spring lands. In January, 1857, Joseph R. Willianrn, a graduate of Harvard, was appointed president, and on May 13th following, lhe College was formally dedicated and was the first state institution in the United Slates to offer instruction in scientific and practical agriculture. Jong Situated three and one-half miles from Lansing, the seat of the Stale Government, surrounded by a dense forest, and only lo be reached by an often almost impassable wagon road across stretch of marshy ground, it will not seem surprising that the early years of the institution were years of trial and disappointment. In l 861, lh legislature created the State Boar·a of Agriculture and pleaced it in control of lhe Agricultural College, and in December, 1862, T. C. Abbott, who had been profes"or of rural engineer ing an..cl of Engli"h and history, as well as secretary pro lem, was elected lo the presidency. a 37 r Ml HIGAN STATE On April 21, 1885, the Board of Agri culture announced the establishment of a Department of Mechanic Arts to be opened the following September.

Since the fraternity group is founded on the principle of bringing together students of similar character and ideals, it affords in many cases a val uable ben fit to the student who ac cepts membership. In other cases, how ever, fraternity life may prove detri mental to those who do not need It. In being taken into a fraternity, the freshman is usually invited up to the house for dinner, and If he proves favorable to the members, Is at a later time usually ottered a pledge pin. If, after serious consideration, the fresh man finds the fraternity acceptable in all ways, he may accept the pledge pin. A several months' period of "probation" follows the prospective new member becomes more intimately acquainted with the fellows If he then desires in the fraternity. to Is formally initiated into active membership, and becomes one of the group for the re maining years of his college career. the society, he the pledging In which join Whatever you decide about frater uities simmers down to your own In dividual character, ideals and needs: but the choice is a very Important one, for it will have a vitally beneficial or detrimen ta! effect upon your college eareer.

Thus the backward person who needs social training, may benefit immeasurably by choosing to Jive during his college life with a fraternity group. The brotherly associal!ons many Limes bring out a man's best. the other hand, the freshman who gets into the wrong group may find fraternity life very harmful. There is a tendency for the social life of the society Lo overpower in the member·s mind true purpose of college. Many students believe that one can gel more out of college by not attaching himself to the crowded social life of the fraternity, or by limiting hlmse If lo the friendships of a small group. the On It is important that the freshman should ascertain before he "pledges" whether or not his ideals and aims are similar to those of the fraternity which is trying to make him a member. There is no sadder experience to be met in college life than that of the student who, after joining a fraternity, finds is not in harmony with the that he group. Remember that you are pick ing out the group of men with whom you must live during your four years at Michigan State College, and men who will exert a decided Influence on your character. Do not accept a pledge pin until you have had considerable time to think the matter over. It Is very unwise to pledge to any fraternity that rushes you the moment you register at col lege.

Organized in 1907 as a Congregationa l Church, sixteen years later it becam interdenominational. One day in February, 1919, four men rnpresenting the educational boards of the Baptist, Congregational, Methodist :ind Presbyterian denominations visited East Lansing, and the result was a co-operativ Rtudent work. which has the highest satisfaction lo the given churches and the student body.
