I am speaking, I feel sure, the earnest wish and purpose of every thoughtful American that this great country of ours, which is of course, the first in our thoughts and our hearts, should show itself in this time of peculiar trial a nation fit beyond others to exhibit the fine poise of undisturbed judgment, the dignity of self control, the efficiency of dispassionate action; a nation that neither sits in judgment upon others nor is disturbed in its counsels and which keeps itself free to do what is hon- est and disinterested and truly serviceable for the peace of the world. I venture therefore, my fellow countrymen, to speak a solemn word of warning to you against that deepest, most subtle, most essential breach of neutrality which may spring out of partisanship, out of passionately taking sides. Shall we not resolve to put upon ourselves the restraint which will bring to our people the happiness and the great and lasting influence for peace we covet for them. iinniiiillHiiilHiliiiiiiiiiiiiiiir.

A. Jardine 7iTiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnTr3 Ol)£ division of Agriculture THE courses in agriculture are designed, primarily, to train for the profession of farming and the teaching of agriculture in the public schools, and for en- lightened community service. The great purpose is to provide such a liberal, thorough, and practical education as is necessary for efficient work and citizenship. With this end in view courses in agriculture are offered that will appeal to young men who desire to enter farming as a profession. While the industrial and technical work is emphasized, the importance of a thorough general training, or culture, is recognized. Thus may be met the demand for a broad or general education supplemented by special technical training. The mind, the eye, and the hand are educated to act in unison. The mental and the bodily faculties are so coordinated as to develop a symmetrical manhood and a just appre- ciation of clean, upright citizenship. The first two years ' work is the same for all agricultural students. It consists of work in chemistry, English, biology, and agriculture. In the last two years students are permitted to choose a large portion of their work, under an elective system. By prescribing a large part of their studies during the first two years, and by leaving a large part of the work of the last two years to the selection of the student, but under a definite system, the College endeavors to give a wise measure of direction, leaving, at the same time, sufficient room for choice to encourage individual adaptation and special develop- ment. It is the belief of the institution that technical knowledge and skill should be de- veloped along with, rather than at the expense of, those things which make for the production of cultured and versatile men. For this reason the technical work in agri- culture is closely associated with related sciences offered by other divisions of the in- stitution. The courses are so balanced, or arranged, as to divide the time of the student about equally between subjects of a technical character and subjects which develop the general knowledge and breadth of view which characterize cultured people. The Division offers more than seventy courses in technical subjects, or agricultural science, and gives opportunity for electing from the scientific and literary courses of 34 iiilllllllllilillllllli!iii:iiiiiiiiiiini|T K _ .--. . other divisions of the College. Each student, moreover, is given ample opportunity, after reaching his junior year, to specialize along any of the several lines of agriculture. The entrance requirements for students in agricultural courses are the same as for students entering any of the other courses of the College, and four years of creditable work are necessary in order to obtain the degree of Bachelor of Science in Agriculture. In addition to the successful completion of the prescribed courses and the courses elected, candidates for degrees are required to have had at least six months of practical farm ex- perience, under the direction of an accredited farmer. This last requirement, together with the advantages open to all agricultural students at the College for practical work in all phases of farming, supplements their education along definite lines and sends them out more practical and readily serviceable men. The fact that at the Kansas State A gricultural College there are maintained a sufficient number of animals of the different leading breeds of live stock, and large fields devoted to the production of all crops common to this region, grown under all methods of soil management, cannot but leave an impression with the student that will greatly strengthen the technical work he receives in agricultural science. i iiiiiNii!Ulii|iiiiim,ijjiiLiiiiii:ji: a_ .;i,,i:niii.i department of Agronom? The foundation of a sound and profitable system of farming is a thorough scientific and practical knowledge of the handling of the soil, the growing of field crops and the management of the farm business. It is the work of the Agronomy Department to teach these things. It is a comparatively easy matter to farm in such a way that large and profitable crops will be produced from new and fertile land if no investment is made in the permanent upkeep of the soil — it is an infinitely harder problem to remove paying crops from the soil and at the same time handle it in such a way that its fertility will not be impaired. In no large area of the United States has the farming during the past twenty- five years or longer been of such a character that the soil is now in as high a state of fertility as it was at the beginning of that period. If this condition is changed in the future, it will come as the result of education and a more thorough knowledge of the soil. Of no less importance is an accurate knowledge of the improvement and production of field crops. All other enterprises of the farm are gauged by the size and quality of the crop grown. The live stock and dairy farmer is usually limited in his enterprise by the amount and quality of the feed crops produced. To him, his live stock furnish a market for his crops and the size of his business is determined by the size of the crop he has to market. A practical knowledge of field crops is, therefore, important not only to the grain farmer who sells his crop on the market, but also to the live stock and dairy farmer as well. The management of the farm business has received too little attention at the present time. One of the most important lines of work of the Department is the teaching of farm management. Secretary David F. Houston has said, The business of the student of farm management is to make an analysis of the operations of the farmer to study the proper adaptation of the type of farming to local conditions, such as soil and climate, the size of the market, market demands and transportation, the quality of the farm business, its diversity, its organization, the distribution of farm enterprises and the cost of each sort of product. The Agronomy Department, therefore, in its training of students in farm manage- ment, field crops, and soils, lays the foundation for all types of farming. , ' i;Yiii I i ' ■ ■■ ' ■■. § 1 1 j % flJiiliiiiiMiliiiiimiliiiiMliiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iit!P:iiii in;: _ _„„ ._ _ ... ■._L _T V Tr pTTI iiiiliiiiiimmiHiliiiintiiiiinmim iii iiiTiTTiiiTHf n :: ' : ' ' ' ■ ' ■■■■ i ; - A f ' (§ ■ ' - Ol)e JDepartment of .Animal Hiusbanbrg The work of the Animal Husbandry Department is designed to give young men the best possible training for livestock farming, to develop breeders of pure-bred livestock, and to equip teachers and investigators in animal husbandry. In the experimental work of the department, the main object is to conduct research work which will help solve the fundamental problems in ani- mal nutrition and animal breeding, and to demonstrate practical methods of increasing the efficiency of feeds and the animals consuming them. The departmental work is divided into four distinct lines: Instruction which is carried on in the class rooms and laboratories and includes courses in the feeding, breeding, judging, production, and management of livestock. The maintenance of herds of pure-bred breeding animals and of show steers which are used primarily to give the students a correct conception of the types of animals for Kansas farms and the show ring. Investigational work conducted in animal nutrition and ani- mal breeding to solve fundamental problems confronting breeders and feeders. The practical feeding and breeding of livestock which is demonstrated in the management of the breeding herds and the feeding of experimental animals for market purposes. The first students were graduated from a four-year course in animal husbandry in 1910, and, including the present class, 1915, 114 young men have completed the course. These young men are interested in livestock farming and 54 per cent, of the men in the five classes graduated are on farms and 80 per cent, of these are in Kansas. Practically all of the men not on farms are teaching agriculture, doing agricultural extension, demon- stration and experimental work, or are active in livestock marketing. Only 5.5 per cent, of all the graduates are in lines of work other than agricultural. The breeding herds on the farm include pure-bred representatives of four breeds of beef cattle, four breeds of horses, three breeds of hogs, and six breeds of sheep, which, with the grades, total 590 animals. Annual sales are held at which surplus breeding stock is sold for the purpose of giving students an idea of the proper methods of con- ducting public auctions. These herds also demonstrate methods of practical feeding and breeding. The de- mand for breeding animals bred and developed on the department farm indicates that livestock breeders and farmers approve of these methods. During the present year, 1914-1915, a double deck carload of Western lambs was fattened on Kansas feeds, 45 calves were wintered on roughages usually found on every farm, 45 calves are being fattened, 14 draft colts were brought to maturity and demonstrate practicable and pro- fitable methods of utilizing Kansas feeds. The investigational work is carried on with cattle, horses, and hogs. This work is done under conditions and with facilities which permit the keeping of individual records on the behavior of a large number of animals. This work is supported almost entirely by funds from the United States Department of Agriculture. - : i - ii ; 1 1 : ■ i , i : i . , i , i ■ - , i ■ . , . . , JDair? JDepartment The courses offered in Dairying are so planned as to give students a working knowledge in the subject which will fit them to take up practical work along this line. There are also courses for the student who desires to become a specialist in experimental dairying, giving him a foundation for graduate work. It is optional with the student whether he elects work along the creamery or commercial line, or in dairy production, which deals with the dairy farm manage- ment, and handling the herd for profit. The dairy farm of 50 acres is used to make demon- strations in growing different feeds for the herd. The dairy barn provides room for 80 head of cows and is modern in every respect. The dairy herd consists of 100 head of cows and heifers, representing the four prin- cipal breeds, Jerseys, Guernseys, Holsteins, and Ayr- shires. The highest records of all breeds in the state are held by cows in the college herd. Maid Henry, a thirteen-year-old Holstein, made 835 pounds of butter in a year. One Jersey cow has a record of 765 pounds of butter in a year. One Ayrshire has pro- duced over 700 pounds of butter in a year. During the past year seven of the cows have produced an average of 700 pounds of butter. The entire herd made an average produc- tion of almost 500 pounds of butter last year. The average production per cow for the entire state during the same period was 120 p.ounds of butter. With these cows it is possible to give the best of training in judging, selection, and breeding of dairy cattle. The cdws and young stock are used in making experiments in feeding, etc. The department has a creamery in operation the year round. This is used to give the students experience in this line of work. The creamery is equipped with churns, pasteurizers, ice cream freezers, Babcock testing machinery, and cream separators. Additional cream for butter making purposes is purchased from farmers near Manhattan, and the creamery is carried on a self-supporting basis. Much of the milk from the dairy herd is sold as retail milk, and the students have opportunity to make studies along this line. There is a constant and growing demand for specialists in dairy work. In fact, the demand is far greater than the supply for men that are properly trained and equipped for this work. Positions are open to graduates as managers of dairy farms, teaching in colleges and high schools, butter makers, experiment station work and many other.

' ' iiiniiiiiiriTilT JDepartment of 3 ' forticulture The work of the Horticultural Department includes the teaching of classes in various lines of Horticulture. The only one of which is required of all students in the Agricultural Course is Plant Propagation. In this course the laboratory work is so planned that each lad has a chance to know how cuttings are made, how seeds are grown, how trees are planted and grafted. The only systematic instruction in grafting offered by the Depart- ment is given in this course. Students who elect work in the Horticulture De- partment are given specfic instruction along three gen- eral lines: fruit growing, vegetable growing and the grow- ing and use of ornamental shrubs and trees. Students in the pomology classes the fall terms of the Junior and Senior years seem to appreciate the op- portunity given to them to become acquainted with varieties of fruit provided by the Department for their study. For several years the Department has arranged with similar departments in Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Missouri, Washington, Oregon, and Indiana to make an exchange of varieties, giving the student an opportunity to compare varieties grown under different conditions and also to study varieties now grown in Kansas. The laboratory classes in Orcharding have for their laboratory work practical work in spraying and many visitors to these classes have insisted that this Department has the best equipped laboratory for giving instruction in spraying of any institution in the country. The 1915 class had practice work with five power sprayers and three power potato sprayers, hand pumps, nozzles and other equipment without limit. Every stu- dent who has had this work never forgets the preparation of Bordeaux mixture and lime sulphur or the test for arsenate of lead or free arsenic. One of the preventives of student enjoyment in the spring term is the market gardening laboratory. Each student who is assigned to market gardening is assigned to a particular plot of ground in the gardens and after he has prepared a plan of his own for his garden, he is provided with seed, hoe and rake and told to go to now and make his garden, following out his plan and coming to the Boss for instructions. There are many who have gone out to teach Agriculture in the high schools, who have found the note books prepared on these gardens of considerable value in preparing lectures for their laboratory classes. In the landscape gardening classes the student has the opportunity of making plans for various types of plantings, such as lawns, parks, school grounds and home grounds and of becoming familiar with the varieties of shrubs and trees that produce the best landscape effects. Not included in the actual teaching work of the Department is the outside work carried on in various lines. For the past two years Instructor Lewis and Assistant Merrill have had direct supervision of a large number of co-operative experiments with farmers over the state. Practical co-operative work has been carried on with potato work in the Kaw Valley and in sections of the state where commercial fruit growing is practiced. Professor Ahearn has made many trips over the state advising Civic Improve- ment Societies and Mothers ' Clubs as to the means of improving parks, and school grounds and interesting them in general improvement work.

Z5t)e department of poultry Iftusbandr? The courses of study offered by the Poultry Depart- ment have three purposes in view. The first is to give the student who wishes to return to the farm practical training along poultry management lines. The second is to give elementary training in preparing poultry pro- ducts for market to those who wish to engage in the poultry packing business. The third is to give a thor- ough technical training to those students intending to become teachers or investigators in poultry husbandry. The department is provided with the necessary facilities for giving excellent work in all three lines. The poultry plant lying just off the northeast corner of the campus contains eight acres. It is equipped with mod- ern buildings and appliances to which others are constant- ly being added. The last additions were provided for by the acts of the last legislature for a brooder house 14 x 100 feet to be used as a laboratory by the classes in brooding and a mechanical refriger- ating plant to be used in co-operation with the Department of Animal Husbandry, Dairy Husbandry, and Veterinary Medicine. Besides three permanent laying houses 15 x 30 feet, there are eighteen portable colony houses of varying sizes and types. One laboratory building is given over to milk feeding, killing and dressing poultry and candling eggs. Another building houses an incubator laboratory in the basement and a feed room above. The work in Poultry Husbandry is so arranged that all students taking the general agricultural course have a three hour course in Farm Poultry Production. A somewhat similar course under the title of Poultry Management is required of all students in Vet- erinary Medicine. Elementary courses in poultry keeping are required of all students of the school of Agriculture. A course called Beginning Poultry is provided for the young men and another called The Elements of Poultry Keeping is given the young women. The elective work follows the two general lines of poultry management on the farm and the packing of poultry products for consumption. Along the line of management, courses in which the facilities are furnished so that the students can have actual practice, are offered in poultry feeding, incubation, brooding and caponizing. A special course in Home Poultrying, open only for young women, is provided for those of the Division of Home Economics who wish poultry work. Along the line of preparing poultry commercially, courses are offered in candling, to determine the commercial grades of eggs, milk feeding, to properly finish the birds, as practiced in the packing houses, and killing and dressing. In addition to these courses two courses in judging are offered for those who wish to become instructors of Poultry Husbandry. There is also a course on the Bacteriology of Poultry Diseases in Poultry Production, offered through the courtesy of the Bac- teriology Department.

The Forestry Department of the Kansas State Agricultural College is responsible for the dissemination of information throughout the state, concerning forest conditions, and advice regarding methods of handling woodlots. This work embraces the renewal of stands of timber in the present native woodlands, as well as that of planting artificial woodlots. The natural woodlots of the state occupy what is usually termed waste land, and the object is to improve the stand of growing timber so as to make it yield as great a return as possible. Under practical management this timber land can be made to yield nearly as good returns as agricultural lands. Furthermore, this department is charged with the encouraging of tree planting throughout the prairie sec- tion of the state, and in this connection maintains a state nursery at the Hays Branch Experiment Station, Hays, Kansas, in which there are growing at the present time over one million trees. This stock is composed of hardy species suitable for Western Kansas planting, consisting largely of broadleaved species. However, a small section of the nursery is devoted to the growing of conifers, consisting largely of pines, cedars, arbor vitae, and firs. The nursery stock produced at both sta- tions is sold at cost of production, and in every case it is the aim of the Department to send out only such stock to the various sections of the state as is best adapted to the climatic and soil conditions there. The instructional work in forestry offered at the Kansas State Agricultural College, is given by this Department, and consists of three courses: Dendrology, Silviculture, and Farm Forestry. The object of these courses is to familiarize the students with and assist them in identifying our native trees and to understand the conditions under which they grow and develop, so that in handling woodlot propositions, they may do it intelli- gently and with an understanding of the problems involved. iDepartmcnt of tlilling Hn6ustr? Kansas produces on the average more wheat than any other state in the Union. Kansas ranks second in the quantity and value of wheat flour produced. Hence it is fitting that Kansas should establish at the State Agricultural College a well equipped Milling Industry Department for investigating the milling and baking qualities of wheat, the factors which influence these qualities, and the problems which arise in the manufac- ture of flour. This Department was established in 1910 and the College model mill is the largest and most completely equipped plant connected with any college in the country. It has a capacity of 75 barrels of flour in each twenty- four hours and the results secured with this mill are com- parable with those of any similar commercial plant. The Department also has a well equipped labora- tory for experimental baking tests and for chemical determinations on wheat and flour. The question of how best to care for the wheat crop after it ripens in the field is an important one. How much does the exposure to weather damage with subsequent bleaching and sprouting injure the milling and baking qualities? What effect has such damage upon grade and market price? What beneficial results measured in dollars and cents can be obtained from properly caring for the wheat until it reaches the miller? All these are problems of vital importance to the wheat grower and an effort is being made by the Milling Industry Department to solve them. What effect has crop rotation, soil fertility, and seed bed preparation upon the milling and baking qualities of wheat? Which varieties are good and which are poor from the standpoint of the miller? By close co-operation between the Milling Industry Department and the Agronomy Department at the College these questions are being investigated. This work necessarily covers the field from the kernel of seed wheat to the finished loaf of bread. The College is offering a four-year course in Flour Mill Engineering and with the exception of Pennsylvania State is the only school offering work along this line. Vf- nil..,! ' __ Ofye Veterinary iDepartment The Kansas State Agricultural College was among the first institutions of learning to recognize, as the whole world is now trying to recognize: That it is just as honorable to guide the plow- as to guide the Ship of State. That it is just as honorable to minister to the physical needs of the lower animals as to guide an erring soul on its heavenward way: That it is just as honorable to be queen in a household of three or six as to rule nations of people. That it is just as honorable to minister to the relief of a dumb brute as to minister relief in the halls of Justice. Acting upon these fundamental principles and realizing the necessity of broadening the scope of the work done at K. S. A. C, the Board of Regents at their meeting in April 1905, voted to establish a full four-year course in Veterinary Medicine: a course embodying all the training necessary to equip its graduates to compete with those of any other similar institution in existence, a course from which a graduate may feel he has something which the world cannot ignore: the necessary equipment where- with to make an honest and respectable living in an honored profession; a sufficient guarantee against all possible emergencies in making a success in life. Each of these graduates is making good and is an honor to his Alma Mater. He rapidly becomes a leader in his community and wields a great influence toward better living. He is getting out of life much more than many who occupy a much so-called higher station — contentment. The graduate from this course does not think he is lord of all creation: as he grows older he thinks more on these things and as he thinks he grows more and more to realize that the hand that molds the flour is the hand that rules the world. Neither does he forget in his search for fame and fortune and in his efforts to make good the flowers that bloom by the wayside, for after all, there is no real living without them to brighten life and home. The growth of the department since its establishment, its present standing among other similar institutions and the success of the four score of its graduates testify to the wisdom of the Board ' s action.

Also, the following operating departments: General Repairs, Heat and Power, and Printing. The De- partment of Printing also gives a limited amount of instruction along the lines of printing practice. The teaching departments give instruction to five different classes of students: First, to students pursuing the professional courses in engineering. These professional courses include Civil Engineering, Electrical En- gineering, Mechanical Engineering, Agricultural Engineering and Architecture. Second, to students in the Division of Agriculture, Division of General Science, and the Division of Home Economics, who seek instruction in architecture, drawing, shop practice, farm motors, concrete construction, and similar engineering branches. Third, to students who elect trade-practice courses and the Mechanics Arts in the secondary school of Agriculture. Fourth, to Short Course students who pursue the ten-weeks short course in traction engines, shop work, road building, or concrete construction. Fifth, to Short Course students who take the majority of their work in one of the other Divisions, but who elect shop work, gas engines, drawing, or traction engines. The research carried on by the faculty of the Division of Engineering is part of their work in connection with the Engineering Experiment Station which was established for the purpose of carrying on tests and research of engineering and manufacturing value. Among the tests which have been recently completed or are now being carried on, are: tests on Kansas sands, automobile oils, illumination, concrete, gas engines, traction engines, road building, and similar problems which are of interest to the engineering profession in general and to the people of Kansas in particular. The officers of the Division of Engineering and of the Engineering Experiment Sta- tion are frequently consulted by municipalities, state institutions, corporations, and in- dividuals regarding various matters of engineering and manufacturing. The Division of Engineering also conducts classes during the State Farmers ' Institute, in traction engines, concrete construction, gas engines, shop practice, road building, rural archi- tecture, and electricity. The value of the equipment in the teaching and research departments of the Division of Engineering is equal to about $125,000. This does not include buildings or the value of the equipment in the operating departments. The Division of Engineering has supervision of the generation of steam for heat and power; the pumping of water; the distribution of steam, water, gas, and electricity; Twrnni iliMliiiiii.ii.iniii ' inininin.

The value of the equipment in the operating departments of the College is equal to about $120,000. The students pursuing the various professional engineering courses have an organi- zation called the Engineering Association, the object of which is to aid the students in the Division and to improve their general standards. Besides this, the Engineering Division has a branch of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, of the National Association of Stationary- Engineers, a Civil Engineering Society, and an Architects Club. There is also a chapter of the Sigma Tau Honorary Engineering Fraternity which is composed of students who have excelled in scholarship and who show evidence that they will be successful as engineers. The Engineering Association, together with the other engineering societies, publishes an engineering magazine called The K. S. A. C. Engineer.

The Department has since that time graduated about fifty young men all of whom have found ready work in Kansas and the adjoining states. Several of the graduates have become teachers of architectural branches, descriptive geometry, drawing and manual training in colleges, high schools, and manual training schools. Others have become successful contractors. Still others have engaged in architectural practice for themselves in Kansas City, San Francisco, Chicago, Manhattan, Wichita, etc. One graduate has reached the distinction of having superintended the erection of the largest (at that time) sky ( scraper in the world, the so-called Forty Two in New York- Next fall the Department will add an additional professor to its Faculty, which at present consists of five members, an instructor in farm architecture. The main class room of the Department is located on the second floor of the new wing of Engineering Hall and is well equipped with illustrative specimens of brick, terra cotta, building stone, architectural plaster casts, prints of representative buildings and historic monuments. It has a complete blue printing room and there is a growing library of several hundred volumes covering all branches of architecture. l!

Design The Applied Mechanics and Machine Design de- partment gives instruction to all students of the Engin- eering Division, to those of other divisions who elect work in Mechanical or Concrete Construction, and to all students in the Mechanic Arts Course in the School of Agriculture. The work of the department is divided into the fol- owing general divisions: (1) Class room instruction in the Mechanism of Machinery, Applied Mechanics, Strength of Materials, Hydraulics, Mechanical Drawing, and Machine Design. (2) Laboratory instruction in strength of Materials, Cement and Aggregate testing, Concrete Construction, Road Materials, testing, and Hydraulics, and (3) Drafting room practice in Mechanical Drawing, Graphical Analysis, and Machine Design. In the class room, students are taught to apply the principles of mathematics and mechanics to the solution of problems which arise in engineering work, particularly in the design of machines and structures. The study of Kinematics is designed to enable one to select the mechanism or combination of mechanisms best adapted to produce any desired transformation of motion or of power in machines. Applied Mechanics analyzes the forces which the elements of structures or machines are called upon to resist and de- termines the size and shape required in the different parts in order that they may do the work required of them. The application of the above matters to design of particular machines, and the selection of the materials best suited to particular uses, all with due regard to durability, cheapness of manufacture, and convenience in use, constitute the work in Machine Design. In Hydraulics a study is made of the mechanics of liquids at rest and in motion, and of machines for moving liquids or deriving power from them. In the Strength of Materials laboratory, various materials used in structures or ma- chines are tested to destruction in tension, compression, bending or torsion, the loads re- quired for this purpose being weighed and the phenomena attending the tests being noted. The purposes of the work are to give students a working familiarity with materials and their behavior under stress, as well as a working knowledge of methods of testing and making of reports. The latter purpose is kept in mind in all laboratory work of the department. In the Cement Laboratory, standard tests are made to determine the quality of ce- ments, sands, gravels and stones for use in concrete, and the effect of varying the propor- tions of properties of these materials, on the strength of concrete and mortars. In the Hydraulic Laboratory, various tests are made to determine the accuracy of different methods of measurement of water, and to determine the efficiency and other characteristics of pumping and water power machinery. In Concrete Construction, practical instruction is given in the selection and prep- aration of materials, making forms, and mixing, handling, placing and finishing concrete for foundations, side-walks, floors and the various other purposes for which this material is used. The drafting room is designed to teach students to read and interpret drawings, to make working drawings of machines, structures and other objects, so that these can be built from the drawings, to solve graphically the various problems most conveniently solved in this way, and to plan and develop the detailed design of machines on paper so the relation of the various parts may be clearly determined before the machines are built. The work of the drafting room and laboratory parallels the work of the class room in all the subjects taught in the Department. The underlying ideas in all of the instruc- tion are to teach fundamental principles, rather than unrelated facts, and to make the work of a highly practical character. . ' JiiiiiiinillHiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiinHiiimiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiimiiTT (Tivil anb IHigljwa? engineering The four year course in Civil Engineering was first introduced into the Kansas State Agricultural College in the fall of 1908. Beginning in the fall of 1914, the scope of the work in the Department of Civil Engineering was broadened so as to permit students to take optional courses especially adapted to those desiring to take up highway or irrigation and drainage engineering. It is the aim of the courses to equip the young men taking them, in the best possible manner, for entering upon the active practice of the profession of civil en- gineering, in one of its several branches. To accomplish this end, the student is required to take a large amount of cultural work and is given a thorough preparation in mathematics and those sciences having the most im- portant bearing on various branches of civil engineering work. Provision is also made for short courses in steam and gas engines and in electrical engineering. L. E. Conrad, M. S., is Professor of Civil and High- way Engineering. Mr. Conrad came to K. S. A. C. in September, 1908, from Lehigh University, where he had just spent two years doing post graduate work and as instructor in civil engineering. In addition to his teaching experience, Mr. Conrad has had the following practical experience: Chainman, Union Pacific Railroad, 1899; ehainman, Illinois Central Railroad, 1900; levelman, Vicksburg National Military Park, 1900-1901; instrument-man, Mexican Central Railroad, 1902-1903; sewer construction, Centralia, 111., 1904; assistant engineer on terminal and harbor work, Gulf terminus of the Tehuantepec Route, Mexico, 1905- 1906. W. S. Gearhart, B. S. in C. E., is Professor of Highway Engineering. Mr. Gearhart came to K. S. A. C. in September, 1909, as Highway Engineer, in the Extension Division. In 1911 he was made State Highway Engineer, and Professor of Highway Engineering in September, 1914. Before coming to Kansas, Mr. Gearhart had the following engineering experience: Chainman, United States Coal and Coke Company (West Virginia); transitman, Pennsylvania Railroad Company and Pere Marquette Railroad Company; Assistant Engineer, Chicago and Alton Railroad Company; Assistant State Highway Engineer, Illinois State Highway Commission. H. B. Walker, B. S. in C. E., is Associate Professor of Irrigation and Drainage Engineering, and Drainage Engineer in the Extension Division. It was in this latter capacity that he came to K. S. A. C. in September, 1910. Before coming to K. S. A. C, Mr. Walker did the following engineering work: Topographer, Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy Railroad, 1906-1907; draftsman, Great Northern Railroad Company, 1910; drainage engineer, Humboldt, Iowa, 1909- 1910. F. F. Frazier, C. E., is Instructor in Civil Engineering. Mr. Frazier came to K. S. A. C. as assistant in Civil Engineering in September, 1911. In addition to his work in college he has had the following experiences as engineer: Assistant in engineering corps, Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton Railway, summer of 1909; inspector on concrete bridge work, ibid., 1910; assistant superintendent on ex- cavation and fill, with railroad contractors, 1910-1911; assistant engineer on construction, Pennsylvania Railroad, 1911. Students taking the civil and highway engineering courses have the use of the ex- tensive equipment owned by the other departments of the engineering division, and, in addition, the very complete surveying equipment of the civil engineering department. In addition to a large supply of the ordinary surveying instruments, the department owns a seven inch repeating theodolite; an eight inch direction theodolite; a coast and Geodetic Survey precise level; and an invar base line tape, w : ith stretchers, balance, etc. In the relatively short time that the department has existed, it has graduated sixty- two men, 85 per cent, of whom are engaged in some line of civil engineering work. y c.jL FniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiimiiiimiiiniM ' ihh. JDepartment of Clectrical Engineering The Electrical Engineering Department at Kansas State Agricultural College was founded in 1900, with Professor B. F. Eyer as Professor of Physics and Elec- trical Engineering. In 1902, three men were graduated in the Electrical Engineering course, tho ' their previous work did not cover all the studies prescribed. The 1903 graduates were the first who took the com- plete electrical engineering course, these were G. T. Fielding and O. J. Reed. Since that time there has been a steady increase in the enrollment, the present senior class numbering fifteen and the junior class twenty-five. The Department has a variety of apparatus which is used for laboratory work. In the electrical measure- ments laboratory a complete line of alternating and di- rect current instruments is available while in the dynamo laboratory there are four A. C. generators, six A. C. induction motors of various types, ten D. C. machines which are used either as motors or generators, and one rotary converter. A mercury arc rectifier for automobile charging, three small rectifiers of various types, and a special set consisting of two D. C. motors and two A. C. generators of special construction are features of particular interest in the dynamo laboratory, while the notable instruments of the measurements laboratory are a reed type frequency meter and two precision watt meters of German make. A 110 volt and 32 volt storage battery are also available for experimental work. The present Head of the Department, Professor C. E. Reid, is a graduate of Purdue University, Class of 1902. After teaching one year at his Alma Mater, he spent two years in research at the Bureau of Standards, leaving government service to accept an assistant professorship at Case School of Applied Science, Cleveland, O. In 1909 he was elected Professor of Electrical Engineering at Mississippi A. M. College, which position he filled until the summer of 1914, when he came to Kansas State College. The other member of the Department, Mr. Grayson B. NcNair is also a Purdue graduate of the class of 1908. After four years in the employ of the Wagner Electric Mfg. Co. of St. Louis, he entered the Mathematics Department of K. S. A. C. where a man was wanted to teach mathematics from the engineer ' s viewpoint. However, a vacancy occurring in the Electrical Engineering Department, he was transferred to the latter Department where he has remained since. The Electrical Engineering Department gives instruction to all engineering students and also to the third year students in the School of Agriculture. In addition to this certain elective courses in electricity are offered to the students in the Division of Agriculture. About seventy-five students are taught in the Department each year. The Department of Electrical Engineering in addition to its instructional work also has charge of the entire electrical installation on the Campus, with the exception of that part which is found in the power house. The Electrical Engineering Department since it is a part of a State Institution is peculiarly fitted to act in an advisory capacity in cases where disinterested opinions are required in electrical matters, and is also equipped- to make tests of meters in case of disputed accuracy, acceptance tests of plants and apparatus and other work requiring unbiased and expert services. fc LaSUsOL _; S dLLc EHJBr BHfrtAiraF E JiJ: 9V w B - o a J i Will F- ' lMi|l||lll!..i! : ■ ., ' ! lllllllllllillll: -: rrnTTrr-rT.;., ' .

The present floor area is somewhat in excess of 26,000 square feet and has equipment and apparatus valued at nearly $40,000.00. New equipment and ap- paratus is being added to replace the worn out and ob- solete machinery as it is needed, so that the department can keep up with the rapid strides which are being made in the modern shops throughout the country. Thus instruction can be given in the latest methods of shop practice. The use of the manufactured products of the shop is constantly on the increase and will continue to increase since the wants of man are increasing at such rapid rates and can only be satisfied with the exact duplicate work as turned out by the modern interchangeable system of manufacture. This not only makes a better quality of machine but enables the owner to secure any missing or broken part, and with the assurance that it will fit exactly as it should in every case, and that at a lower net cost. A knowledge of the processes of man- ufacture and methods of repairing and adjusting machinery is highly important and ac- counts for the increased interest taken in Shop work. The work in the shops is so planned as to meet the needs of three classes of students: (1) Those in the course in Agriculture, the farmers short course, and in the short course in Engineering where the work is such that it will give the students a practical working knowledge of the tools and processes as will be most useful for the work on the farm or in the repair shop; (2) Those who are fitting themselves for positions as teachers of manual training and who must have a thorough training in the principles of shop work, and the materials used so that the proper instruction can be given to others; (3) Those in the engineering courses who require a thorough training in the principles of shop work as well as the more theoretical training in the various productive and administrative factors that the factory organizer, manager or shop superintendent has to deal with in connection with his work about the plant. Besides the regular shop exercises, the students are given practice in the repairing and adjusting of the various machines in the shops and laboratories. There are a num- ber of new machines in the process of construction for the shops and laboratories at all times which give good practice for the students and serve as a permanent exhibit of tha work that the department is doing. Some of the machines already bailt ara: five 14- inch engine lathes, sixteen 10-inch wood lathes, one 14-inch shaper, one 20-inch do ,ble transverse shaper, one speed lathe, two 12-inch sensitive drill presses, one drill grinder, two disk grinders, one punch and shear, one molding machine, one belt dynamometer, one torsion testing machine, one 400-lb. steam hammer, besides numerous smaller ma- chines and various tools used by the shops and laboratories. In addition to this the shops have been doing practically all of the work for the other departments of the College. This work amounts to several thousand dollars per year, and gives employment to many needy students. ft Ww Steam anb a$ engineering THE Steam and Gas Engineering Department of the Kansas State Agricultural College gives instruction to the engineering students in the fundamental prin- ciples underlying designing, construction, selection, operation, and testing of steam power plant machinery, gas power plant machinery, compressed air, refrigeration, heating and ventilating, and the other applications of engineering thermodynamics. This department gives about one-eighth of the total credit hours in the Mechanical Engineering course; one-fiftieth in the Civil Engineering course; one-sixteenth in the Electrical Engineering course. In the Agricultural Engineering course the work of this department constitutes about one and three-tenths per cent, in the Irrigation and Drain- age option, about six and five-tenths per cent, in the Flour Milling option, and four and six-tenths per cent, in the Farm Machinery option. This department also gives instruction in farm motors, gas engines, traction engines, and steam engines and boilers to students who are not pursuing the professional en- gineering courses. The Steam Engineering laboratory contains ten different types of steam engines with various valve gears, different governors, and for different applications; a refriger- ating machine; steam pumps; steam traps; steam meters; steam calorimeters, gauges, injectors, and other small apparatus. The Gas Engineering laboratory has, at all times, fifteen or more types of engines, some belonging to the College, and some loaned by outside concerns. The traction engine laboratory has three different types of traction engines, one road roller, and as many different types of gas tractions as can be crowded into the present quarters. The various manufacturers of traction engines are only too willing to loan to the College all the traction engines the College can possibly take care of. The fuel and oil testing laboratories include several different kinds of coal calorime- ters, a gas calorimeter, two different types of pyrometers, viscosimeters, flashpoint testers, apparatus for analyzing chemical composition of fuel, meters, balances, etc. An auto- mobile laboratory is now being started, the companies loaning to the College various parts of automobiles for teaching purposes. The value of the equipment of this department is about $25,000.00. M?$H%Z. r r , ■ ■ ; I - : I ■ . = ■ ■ii ' , r Tii i .

The Division includes all of the departments which give general educational training rather than technical instruction. They are those usually included in colleges of a general character, although the development and relative strength of these departments is determined by their relation to the specific functions of this College as a technical institution. Thus in the older type of college great attention is given to languages and, frequently, comparatively little to the physical and biological sciences. With us the reverse is true — the sciences are developed to such an extent as to constitute the dominant and characteristic features of the Division, while language work is extensive only in respect to English. German is also offered because of its general cultural value, and especially as a tool to the acquisition of the sciences. Mathematics and Physics occupy prominent positions in the College because of their relation to engineering subjects. The necessity for thorough fundamental training in Chemistry, Bacteriology, Botany, Zoology, and Entomology for those interested chiefly in Agriculture and Home Economics is such that work in nearly all of these sci- ences is required of all such students. The need of conscientious and capable action in political and social matters is prom- inent in a republic, and one of the highest duties of colleges is to give the necessary training in these fields. This is provided in our Departments of History and Civics, and Economics, and the Department of Education is a scarcely less important factor in such training and is indispensable for those expecting to become teachers. The continuance of the individual, and rational life of the more cultivated classes of people, require that along with intellectual, political and moral training there shall be ample attention to the preservation and development of the physical nature. Work- ing toward this end we have the Departments of Military Science and of Physical Edu- cation, in one or both of which students receive physical training of the highest value. The Departments of Public Speaking, the English Language, and Industrial Journalism impart to students capacity for expression of thought both orally and in writing — a power that is absolutely essential to one ' s highest usefulness, no matter in what lines the edu- Division of (Beneral Science — Continued cation may have been given. The study of Music and English Literature, while con- tributing less directly to one ' s economic strength, is the means of providing capacity for enjoyment that is of the highest value, and without which, to many, life would be less inviting. Ability to draw upon the written treasures of history, science, philosophy, literature, etc., is conditioned largely upon one ' s power to find the material stored on library shelves, and all students are not only invited to make use of our splendid Library, but are given a course of instruction in its use. The Division of General Science thus presents the fields of knowledge and of dis- cipline that should put the student in possession of intellectual capital that will enable him to make the most of the special applications offered in the other divisions of the College, and in the vocational world. Ol)£ department of (Tljemistr? THE Department of Chemistry is the largest department of the College in respect to the total number of its officers and the number of students taking work in it. There are in the department seventeen men in the teaching, investigational and executive force, and three women in the clerical force. About one thousand students are enrolled for work in the department each term, most of these having laboratory as well as class work. One-tenth of the total teaching work of the College is done in this department. Chemistry being one of the fundamental sciences, more or less knowledge of it is necessary for any student of the practical technical courses of the College. It is there- fore a required subject for every college student here, and also of students in the School of Agriculture. It is not required of short course students. The ra nge of instruction extends from the simplest presentation of general, agricultural and household chemistry for students in the School of Agriculture, to research work involving questions of physio- logical chemistry and nutrition. One year of general chemistry is required of all stu- dents; organic chemistry, in addition, is required of all students in agriculture, general science and home economics; also a course in qualitative analysis. Agricultural students specialize still further through a study of agricultural chemistry and quantitative analysis especially in its application to agricultural problems, while students in home economics pursue a somewhat extended course in household chemistry. Certain groups of engineering students also have additional chemical instruction especially adapted to their requirements. For students desiring to give special attention to chemistry, advanced courses are offered in inorganic, industrial, organic, and physiological chemistry and several lines of quantitative analysis. The investigations constantly in progress in the Chemistry Department o f the Agricultural Experiment Station and the Engineering Experiment Station afford opportunities for still further very valuable work for advanced students. Research work is constantly going on in the department covering several lines of especial importance in agriculture and other industries. Among these is a compre- hensive study of the pigments, oils, etc., used in painting, including investigation of the chemical changes that take place after the paint is applied. Experiments bearing upon animal nutrition are being conducted with chickens, pigeons, swine, horses, beef cattle, and dairy cows. Much of this work is in cooperation with other departments of the College. The chemistry of flour, especially as dependent upon the action of enzymes, is receiving a large amount of study, and the chemical changes which take place in the proteins of corn when it molds constitute an important field of investigation because of its relation to the disease known as staggers in horses. As time and means permit a representative of the department obtains samples from typical soils of the state. These are carefully analyzed and by this means a fund of information is being gradually accumulated concerning the elements upon which the soil fertility depends. The Department of Chemistry is also charged with important duties in connection with state laws. Hundreds of examinations of food are made annually under the pro- visions of the Food and Drugs Law, and hundreds of samples of dairy products are tested for the Dairy Commissioner in accordance with the law providing for that officer. The state law covering the sale of feeding stuffs and stock remedies also brings to this depart- ment hundreds of analyses of these articles, and the law touching the sale of commericial fertilizers makes it the duty of this department to inspect the fertilizers on sale in the state and to make analyses of inspectio n samples. i ' ?l?

In the middle ages disease ravaged the earth to such an extent that civilization was practically extinct. Be- ginning with the discovery and use of antiseptics, vac- cines and antitoxins, surgery became a boon to mankind. The operating rooms in hospitals are built at the present time largely for the purpose of controlling the number of bacteria in the atmosphere during an operation. The death rate from diphtheria has been decreased 50% by the use of diphtheria antitoxin. Typhoid fever has been large- ly eliminated from the armies of the world; and with pro- per enforcement of sanitary measures and vaccination of all persons this disease could be eliminated from the entire country. Since the discovery of the tubercle bacillus by Koch the death rate from tuber- culosis has decreased over 50%! By the use of various antibacterial substances the length and frequency of disease has been greatly reduced and life has become much more en- joyable. The expectation of life has been increased fifteen years and may be increased another fifteen years by proper knowledge and application of the fundamental principles of bacteriology and preventive medicine. In regard to agriculture, the bacteriologist has aided in numerous ways. Most im- portant, perhaps , is in the production and preservation of food materials, in the produc- tion of milk and milk products, and by the use of bacteriological methods in establishing standards for refrigeration, pasteurization, and sterilization. In soil fertility work the bacteriologist has aided by explaining the manner in which bacteria render complex unavailable food available to the growing crop and by devising satisfactory methods for the inoculation of leguminous plants with the nitrogen fixing bacteria. Bacteriology has also aided the housewife in many household operations. The dis- coveries in the science of bacteriology have explained many of the difficulties formerly encountered in canning of fruit and vegetables and have pointed to ways by which they have been satisfactorily overcome. In this College, bacteriology is taught both as a biological science and as a practical factor in everyday life. In this subject only the simplest forms of life, consisting in- variably of one celled organisms, are studied. It is possible at the present time to study these microscopical forms with accuracy, thus paving the way for a more complete study and a better understanding of cells in the aggregate. The subject is also presented in its practical application to agronomy, medicine , domestic science, and sanitary engineering. w ' dijffvuJL- niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirmTrr; lill llllillllllllllllilMini ' l ' :: ' ..

Ol)e iDepartment of Zoology The practical subjects taught in the College, such as Engineering, Animal Husbandry, ' Agronomy, etc., require foundational knowledge of mathematics, Chemistry, Zoology, Botany, etc. These foundational subjects are of value much further than as bases for the more imme- diately practical studies; they are disciplines. In fact, one almost always forgets the facts learned in school even from the most practical subjects. Therefore, if he does not get the power, or discipline, which will enable him to use his mind rightly either in ordinary matters, or in emergencies and exigences as they arise, he secures nothing from any studies, whether they be foundational or highly practical. The study of Zoology is one of the most practical and at the same time a true discipline. As one begins the study of the lower organisms through the microscope he has an entirely new and large world revealed and as he becomes more and more trained and interested the wonder of revelations increases apace. He realizes the relations of animals and plants to each other, and to the inorganic world, and sees him- self a part of all. From the largely esthetic standpoint alone the difference between having a fair knowledge of Zoology and being without it is comparable to walking along a path leading through a beautiful garden in the bright day time and on a dark night. While one is studying general Zoology, and after some progress, he should specialize in entomology, Animal Husbandry, Animal Breeding, or one of the medical professions, or continue research and teaching, as his inclination directs. Any of these will give ample opportunity for the best service to mankind, and will tend towards culture and happiness. The teaching work in Zoology in the Kansas State Agricultural College consists of elementary courses in general Zoology and Embryology which are taken by all, except engineering students, courses in parasitology, bird and mammal study (Economic Zo- ology), advanced general zoology, and advanced mammalian embryology, and cytology for those who desire to become teachers and research workers in zoology, veterinary medicine, animal husbandry, and animal breeding. The research is carried on in cytol- ogy (fundamental studies in inheritance), heredity, parasitology and mammals, and other zoological problems. The zoological seminar, two hours a week, consists of reports on progress in research by members of the staff and advanced students, and in reports on journals, lectures on evolution, and in a social good time. iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiWBiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiilTiir-l T 1 ::: ' ' ' ii ; i. lillillllllllllllllllllllllllllllfTTOl :■ :ijF F i :i:,:rr, - ■ . ■ ■ : . ■ 1 1 ■ ■ : ' ■: .

The work in the Department of Botany falls into two general sub-heads: (1) the work in the College, and (2) the work in the Experiment Station. The College work of the Department of Botany con- sists primarily in teaching the courses offered by the de- partment, thirteen in number, to the students, largely of the division of Agriculture, in which the courses in botany are required. The purposes of this teaching are three- fold: to give all students in agriculture especially, a good general knowledge of the life, functions, and nature of plants, and some notions of the evolution of the plant world; to prepare such students as may desire, for teach- ing botany in the high schools; to prepare men for ex- periment station or investigational work in three prin- cipal lines of botanical investigation, viz., (a) plant breeding, (6) plant pathology, (c) seed control work. At present, there are students who are taking advanced work in all three of these lines, in all of which there are excellent opportunities for capable, enterprising and in- telligent men, both in the United States Department of Agriculture and in the various agricultural colleges and experiment stations. The work of the Department of Botany in the Experiment Station is purely inves- tigational and experimental, and not commercial. This work is divided among four pro- jects as follows: (a) corn breeding investigations, (6) alfalfa breeding investigations, (r) cereal disease investigations, (d) physiological investigations on drouth resistance of agri- cultural plants. Of all these projects, the corn breeding project is the farthest along. As a result of hybridization work in 1910, we now have strains of corn that are apparently ex- tremely resistant to drouth, — certainly far more so than any other variety of corn in existence. The seed of these drouth resistant strains is being increased as rapidly as possible, and further tests in the western part of the state are being carried on. The alfalfa breeding project is being carried on to the same end, — the production of drouth resistant strains of alfalfa. A great deal of crossing has been done between some very hardy kinds of alfalfa from northern Siberia, very different from our northern alfalfas, and some very superior strains of pedigreed alfalfa we have produced here. The hybrids are being grown this year in the field for the first time. The investigations in the resistance of cereals to disease covers thus far, the resistance of wheat to rust, and of corn and sorghum to smut. The experiments are too extensive to be discussed in detail and have not yet reached a definite conclusion. A considerable num- ber of crosses have been made between our best local wheats and rust resistant spring wheats of Minnesota, from which we hope to get some strains of winter wheat that will be resistant to rust, and at the same time possess the good qualities of our winter wheats. The investigations on corn smut are at present closely concerned with discovering the chief means by which a corn field becomes inoculated with smut, and the disease thereby spread. In the production of smut-resistant sorghums, we have made a number of crosses between milo, which is absolutely resistant to both of the sorghum smuts, with a number of other sorghums, including feterita. The first generation of the hybrids was grown in the greenhouse this spring. When this seed is planted, it will be inoculated with smut spores, in order to test the resistance of the hybrid plants to smut. Only those that show com- plete smut-resistance will be saved. Members of the department participating in these various lines of investigation are as follows: In corn breeding, Prof. H. F. Roberts and H. T. Wilkie; in alfalfa breeding, Prof. H. F. Roberts and H. T. Wilkie; in cereal disease resistance, Prof. H. F. Roberts and L. E. Melchers; in drouth resistance investigations. Dr. E. C. Miller. 1 Hilil ! ' ' . ' ' .I r , ,,. ' iiiiiillllllllllllllliiiiPT T -7 T - The work of the Department of Entomology consists of instructional work in the College, investigational and insect control work in the Experiment Station, and the placing of needed information regarding insects before the people of our state. Instructional Work. — The Department of Entomolo- gy annually gives instruction to almost three hundred fifty students. Eighteen different courses, representing the various technical and practical aspects of the subject, are given. Instruction in general entomology, with special emphasis to the economic phases of the subject, is given to approximately ninety senior men from the Division of Agriculture. The relation of insects to agriculture is such a vital one that an intelligent understanding of some of the important general facts of insect life and the funda- mental principles of economic entomology is demanded if the farmer is to solve successfully any of the omni- present insect problems. Various economic courses, such as apiculture, economic entomology, horticultural ento- mology, and milling entomology are given in order that the students may have the preparation which will enable them to solve intelligently their future problems in the field. Instruction is given each year to about one hundred fifty junior and senior students from the Division of Home Economics. In this course the students are made acquainted with the relation of insects to urban and rural life. The relation of insects to disease is given a prominent place in this course. During the summer term instruction in entomology is offered to the public school teachers of the state. The work is designed to meet the needs of the teachers in high schools and training is given in the fundamentals of the science. Two courses — farm insects for the boys, and household insects for the girls — are given to the students in the School of Agriculture. The Department provides advanced courses in entomology for students who desire special training in the subject and who expect to do professional scientific work. Each year the Department turns out men, well trained in the technical aspects of entomology, who are prepared to do active and efficient work in the state experiment stations in the United States Bureau of Entomology, or as instructors in colleges and high schools. The produc- tion of men capable of solving the difficult problems of some field of human endeavor, capable of extending human knowledge, and capable of disseminating the best things of human knowledge, constitutes one of the greatest contributions which an institution can make to a state. Investigational and Insects Control Work. — Insects cause a loss in Kansas each year of not less than forty million dollars. This is more than three times the amount that is spent each year, not only on the education of the boys and girls and young men and women in the state, including those in public schools, colleges, universities, and all private schools, but also the upkeep of the buildings and the erection of new ones. It is twenty-five per cent, more than all the taxes collected annually in the state. The large per cent, of this injury falls upon the farmer. He needs no argument to convince him that insects are causing him a heavy loss because they feed on his growing crops, stored products and domestic animals. Even his own health and comfort are affected by the various forms of these creatures; for instance, the house fly, which plays such a great part in the spreading of typhoid fever, and the malarial fever mosquito, which is the only disseminator of malarial fever. This enormous tax upon the farm crops of the state, amounting to more than forty millions, would be much larger were it not for the careful investigations of the entomolo- gists of the College and Experiment Station. The methods of control resulting from the studies of these men, and put into operation by the farmers, assisted by the county farm agents and college extension men, have done much to check, lessen, and, in several cases, almost eliminated the ravages of these insects.

This number, while small in proportion to the total of 35,000 reporters and editors in the country, is decidedly en- couraging in view of the fact that professional instruc- tion in journalism has come to the front only within the last ten years. On the one hand, it is clear that there is no immediate danger of overcrowding the profession with specially trained men and women. On the other hand, the increasing number of students who are pur- suing journalism courses shows that such training is being highly valued. Even twenty years ago many newspapers looked with suspicion on the college graduate who applied for work. They seemed imbued with the spirit of Horace Greeley ' s assertion that of all horned cattle the college man in a newspaper office is the greatest nuisance. The better newspapers to-day prefer college men and women and, among college men and women, give the preference to those who have taken courses in journalism. With the growth of commerce and industry as vital factors in American life, a de- mand had grown up for journalists who can write with authority on subjects included in these fields. This demand comes chiefly from large newspapers and from agricultural and trade publications. The last two classes mentioned comprise approximately 2,000 papers in the United States. The country paper, moreover, is also beginning to seek men able to write effectively on the subject of agriculture, which is the great industry of the rural community. The Course in Industrial Journalism in the Kansas State Agricultural College pre- pares students for these lines of work. It is a four-year course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Industrial Journalism. In this are included the subjects funda- mental to general journalism, such as language, literature, natural science, and the social sciences. Each student is also expected to elect subjects relating to some line of industry as, for example, agriculture, engineering, home economics, or economic science. In order that he may acquire familiarity with the mechanical processes connected with publishing, the student is required to take, at least, two terms of printing. The specific work in journalism covers two years and includes a careful study of journalistic theory and practice, particularly as applied to industrial writing. The Kansas Industrialist, edited by the department, gives the students practical experience in reporting, copy reading, editorial writing, and other phases of journalism. Students are encouraged to write also for newspapers, farm papers, and other publications. Graduates of the course in Industrial Journalism are doing newspaper reporting, running country newspapers, and working on agricultural magazines. No student who had done efficient work while in college has found difficulty in securing a good position in practical journalism. iMiiiiiiiniiiiiniliiiiiiliiiiiiiniimiii ' iMiiNiiijniiiiiiiiiilfl iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiil i Wga i • ! . _..J .... .

' ' ■ ' .1. : ' ■■■ ' ■. ■ ■ (o ) t JDepartment of Mtatyematics The science of mathematics should find a fruitful field of operation in an institution which like the Kansas State Agricultural College stands as an exponent of the industrial type of education. With this conviction as a spur to its endeavors, the Mathematical Department conducts its chief activities with two prime purposes in view. These may be briefly stated as follows: (o) the development of a stronger mental fiber through exercises requiring continuous and exact thinking; (h) the acquire- ment of facts, principles, and processes which are of indispensable aid in further scientific and technical study. The first aim makes an appeal to all classes of students; the second more especially to the engineer and to the student interested in advanced work in certain lines of science. Besides the regular routine work of class room in- struction the staff of the department either as a whole or as individuals has often been engaged in various special activities. For several years most of the members met for an hour weekly for a discussion of the results of study along some line of mathematical development. These meetings were a source of much profit to the participants. After a time it was felt that the department could render a greater service to the college by enlarging its club organization so as to include members of its own student body and by broadening the scope of its work in such a way as to appeal to the interest of the larger constituency. Finally during the present year the plan of having in conjunction with the members of the department staff a frequent student participation in the bi-weekl y programs has been put into successful operation. One important result of this club activity has been to open up to the mind of the student a clearer vision of the larger function of mathematics in the affairs of men than is possible by the usual methods of classroom instruction. Another project which has been and is being prosecuted by joint committees from the department force and from the faculty of engineering is that of closer correlation of the courses in mathematics with the later applied technical subjects. The various branches of pure mathematics from elementary algebra to calculus are under consider- ation and it is believed that a syllabus of the results obtained from this cooperative effort involving different points of view will prove to be of much advantage in future instruction. The Department, while thoroughly believing in the importance of its own special work as a part of the educational curriculum is keenly conscious of the justice of the modern demand for humanizing instruction so as to make wherever possible a vital contact with life itself. _ ■ ' I • ■■ Department of £na,Usl) Canguage To provide each student with the kind of training which best fits him to do his life work, is the aim of the Department of the English Language. With ten mem- bers on the faculty and with an annual enrollment of more than three thousand students, the Department carries a heavy load of instruction, conferences, and theme corrections. In addition, every member of the faculty carries on some line of public service work in connection with one or more of the following depart- ment bureaus: 1. Debating Bureau 2. Editing Bureau 3. Literary Society Bureau 4. Bureau of Correspondence Courses 5. Bureau of Secondary English 6. Bureau of Elementary English 7. Bureau of Courses of Study 8. Bureau of Farm and Technical Advertising 9. Bureau of Literary Service 10. Public Service Bureau The Department is seeking not only to do well the instruction work of the College, but also to extend its influence to the citizens of Kansas who seek or need the help it can give. JDepartmettt of HEitgUsI) Citerature When Dr. C. M. Brink became Professor of English in the summer of 1902, the two branches of the English work were conducted in one Department. Besides the head of the Department, there were only two teachers who gave their entire time to instruction in English studies. Miss Alice Rupp, who had been connected with the College for many years, was the efficient and brilliant Assistant Professor and Miss Ada Rice, a gradu- ate of the College, was an assistant in the department. Miss Rupp afterward resigned and was married. Miss Rice is still teaching in the College. The Department grew and prospered until, in 1911, on Dr. Brink ' s recommendation the English work was divided into two departments — Professor Brink choosing the Department of English Literature for himself. Beyond imparting to its students a just and exact conception of the nature of literature in its various forms and a reasonable knowledge of some of the great masterpieces of our speech, this Department aims to cultivate a liking for literature. Thus it seeks to enrich the mind not only by imparting information but by kindling inspiration. It also furnishes the very best method outside of the study of the ancient classics of learning how to write and speak the English Language. By bringing students into contact and familiarity with the writings of the experts in the use of speech of all the centuries, it gives the cream of the thought and the style of the past. This suggests the advantage of the great literature of the world over ephemeral writings, because it has been found worthy to live not only for the value of its thought, but because of the beauty of the language in which that thought is embalmed. Literature is an artistic expression of life, — consequently it cultivates in the reader an insight into life, an appreciation of the beautiful in art and nature, develops a sense of love for the good and true, sets high standards of patriotism, of devotion to every good cause; in short, a knowledge and appreciation of good literature quickens social sympathy, desire for the highest service and broadness of view. By thus adding to one ' s resources, it multiplies the possibilities of enjoying life and adds immeasurably to its happiness. It makes of our graduates both better citizens and better, wiser, more capable, happier men and Cfe C • M ■ S t ' . n ■ ) ii:i ' iiiiiiiiiii[ ' iniiiiiiiiiiii.jiiiL l iI!pnT::;im.vi sipiiliiiii department of Economics The present Department of Economics was organ- ized in June, 1904, and placed under the direction of Professor J. E. Kammeyer. At that time the work con- sisted of but one course in general economics running through one term of the college year. At various times since that date the work has been expanded until now it includes the following courses: elementary economics, business organization, labor problems, money and bank- ing, public finance, co-operation and farm markets, sociology, and rural sociology. In January, 1914, Pro- fessor E. D. Baker was added to the teaching force of the department. Although this department is an integral part of the Division of General Science, it gives instruction in every one of the academic courses of the college, and the school of agriculture, and the summer school. This diffusion of the work is a recognition of its importance as a part of the training every college student should have, no mat- ter what special preparation he may be seeking. The farmer, tradesman, engineer, mechanic, housewife, all need the information which a study of economic science gives. It not only broadens him educationally but fits him specifically for better citizenship. Familiarity with the funda- mentals of this science, and intelligent interest in the problems of labor, money, banking, taxation, business organization, social betterment, and a multitude of other problems of like character are absolutely essential to correct thinking on such subjects, and to a safe vote. The man or woman who does not understand the economic phenomena which are a part of his daily life, and who is out of sympathy and out of touch with the economic progress of his time is not only a handicap to himself but also a menace to democratic institutions. While training for citizenship may be considered the dominant purpose of the courses offered in this department, it is not the only object in view. The student of engineering must, of course, be well grounded in mathematics and the technical subjects of his course, but he should also have at least a general knowledge of partnership and corporate forms of business organization, stocks and bonds, cost accounting, administrative methods, methods of routing, buying, advertising, and selling. Such information supplements and re-enforces his training as an engineer, promotes his chances for success, and enlarges the field of his opportunities and possibilities. Such course as business organization, labor problems, banking, are designed for his special benefit. In like manner the farmer, tradesman, or dairyman needs training in the application of economic principles t o his particular business. Marketing, co-operation, rural credits, crop selection, rents, farm labor, and similar topics should be of interest to him for they are as fundamentally essential to his success as any distinctly technical subject in his course. Rural economics and sociology, co-operation and farm markets are designed to meet his needs. As the teaching force of the department is enlarged more time will be available to extend the research work that should be done. A beginning in this direction has been made this year by Assistant Professor E. D. Baker, who is making an investigation of wheat marketing in Kansas. The results of his studies in this field will be published for the benefit of the farmers of the state. ' (Q) s($Z yt ' ' e -y i ' Ol)e JDepartment of IHistor? an6 (Tivics The Department of History and Civics fully appre- ciates the fact that the training of young citizens for the duties of active citizenship should be an essential part of the work in any public school, and especially in every educational institution supported by State and Nation. Moreover, history should teach us to understand not only the long story of human progress, but also the en- vironment in the midst of which we live, and to appre- ciate the institutions of which we are a part. History and civics together teach us that human institutions are in a constant state of change, and that it is our duty as good citizens to guide these changes in the direction that will improve these human institutions. In a technical school, perhaps more than elsewhere, we appreciate the fact that we are living in an age dominated as never be- fore by industrial institutions, industrial activities, and the industrial spirit: hence, in all of our courses we give special attention to this phase of history and government. There are now five teachers in the department of history and civics, who devote all of their time to this work. Professor Ralph R. Price, who is completing his twelfth year at the head of this department, received his educational training at Baker University, the University of Kansas, the University of Chicago, the University of Wisconsin, Cornell University and the University of Michigan. Assistant Professor Raymond G. Taylor has been teaching here for five years, having received his educational training at the University of Kansas and the University of Chicago. Assist- ant Professor I. Victor lies came to the Kansas State Agricultural College in the fall of 1911, having received his previous training at the East Illinois State Normal School, the University of Kansas, the University of Colorado, the University of Wisconsin, Prince- ton University, the University of Pennsylvania, and Yale University. Instructor Elden V. James has been teaching in the Agricultural College for three years. His previous training was received at Marietta College, West Virginia Wesleyan College, and the University of Michigan. Miss Jessie A. Reynolds, Instructor in History and Civics, has been a teacher here since the fall of 1906. She is a graduate of the College, as well as of the University of Kansas. She has done graduate work at the University of Kansas and at the University of Chicago. In addition to this, she has spent two summers in travel study in Europe. As to the courses now offered by the department, there are several that stand out with some prominence. The courses known as American History I and II are taught by Professor Price, and represent his best educational work. The first course covers the founding of a self-governing nation in the new world, including motives and methods. The second course is devoted chiefly to a study of slavery and the modern industrial expansion of America. Other courses taught chiefly by Professor Price are a Teachers ' Course in History, and a course on Immigration and International Peace. The course to which Assistant Professor Taylor gives most of his time is called Advanced Industrial History. In this course he covers in a single term the whole period of American history, chiefly with respect to the industrial life of the people. Other courses taught chiefly by Mr. Taylor are European Industrial History, an advanced course in English History, Kansas History, Business Law, and International Law. Assistant Professor lies gives most of his time to an advanced course in the actual workings of our American govern- ment and politics. Other courses taught by Mr. lies are French History, with special reference to medieval institutions, and a course in modern Europe, including European governments and international relations. A new course in current history, elected by about sixty students this spring term, will become a required course in certain divisions with the opening of the next College year. This course in a special manner connects the past with the present, and guides to correct reading of that which is most worth while in the newspapers and magazines of the day. In the School of Agriculture, Instructors James and Reynolds give courses in European and American History, civics, and indus- trial history similar to the courses offered in the College except that they are more ele- mentary. Here as in the college courses, the industrial and practical phases of history and government are stressed. 105 FiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiNiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiMirriT llllllllllllllllHllllllllllllllllll.-IIIIIH III IIIIIIINIIIlW iiinilllllll Ill III! IIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlTTiiiiiii i iDepartment of Jp sics Since the erection of the Physical Science Hall, the Department of Physics has occupied the west wing of that building, but large as the building is, these quarters are inadequate to provide for the number of students that take some of the many courses offered by the Department. When the Department moved into its present lo- cation in 1902, it had only two instructors; the average term of enrollment of students being 161. During the past year there has been an average term enrollment of 821 students, and six instructors in the Department. Besides the usual courses in Physics offered in most colleges, courses in Photography, Instrument Building, Radiant Energy, and other special courses are given as electives. The Department was the first to introduce House- hold Physics for Home Economic Students, a course which has since been introduced into many colleges teaching Domestic Science. This course takes the place of the usual required course in College Physics, dealing with the physical problems of the home, including heat- ing, light, ventilation, and electrical equipment. The Department has charge of the College Weather Station; and has in its possession the oldest continuous weather records for the State of Kansas, extending in an unbroken record back to 1858. Any questions regarding Kansas climate, rainfall, data, or other information valuable to farmers are referred to this Department for answer. A new wireless equipment has just been installed, for the use of the class in Radiant Energy. Wireless Corps of the Military Department have been using the equipment in their signal work. Some time is found for research work, and some investigations of commercial value are under way or have been completed. The renewal of sulphate storage cells; the study of insulators, and heat insulation; the light of the firefly, and the effects of different colors of light on plant growth, are the questions of particular interest that are being investigated. As a number of our students accept positions for teaching physics, summer courses adapted to the needs of such students are given. J. O. Hamilton, Head of the Department, came to Kansas State College fourteen years ago, and has been in the Department ever since. Assistant Professor Raburn has been with the Department for the past five years. Assistant Professor Floyd has been connected with the Department for four years. Instructors Allee and Blair have been added to the teaching force more recently. Some needed changes in the arrangements of rooms and equipment will be made during the summer quarter. The Department will make every effort to adjust itself to its present quarters. J L e Ji •nTTirniiiHiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiHiir Ol)£ JDepartment of (Barman The Department of German was founded eleven years ago. Previous to that time classes in German and in French were taught now and then by this or that instructor, but with the spring of 1904 the work was strengthened to such an extent that it was put in charge of a department head. German is now required only in the Division of Home Economics. It is elected, however, by many students in other divisions, as it is considered indispen- sible for those who expect to continue their work as in- vestigators or to become teachers in those lines of work where use may be made of the vast stores of knowledge collected by German scientists. Others elect the work because they desire to get a better understanding of their own language through the study of another, or because they wish to become acquainted with treasures of German literature. Still others feel that the acquisition of a practical knowledge of German will not only afford them excellent mental training but also will put them in an advantageous position in dealing with their German speaking neighbors. Methods of modern language instruction are very different. Some instructors be- lieve in using the methods employed in teaching ancient languages in the days of our fathers,— stiff grammar training, with the language mill grinding slow but grinding ex- ceeding fine. Others would disregard grammar in modern language instruction and rely upon conversation wholly. In the Department here an endeavor is made to adhere to a middle-of-the-road policy. Grammar is taught with some thoroughness; reading aloud is required in class, and constant improvement in the pronunciation of German words is striven for; German passages are translated and translation into good, idiomatic English is insisted on; conversation is a part of the work, especially in the elementary courses, thus making the vocabulary active and usable and training the student in prompt thinking and in natural expression; written work is regularly employed in the lower courses, thus making for accuracy; and live subject matter is employed, thus making for interest and enthusiasm, hence for best results in the acquisition of this living language. The chief aim of the Department is to teach the German language. The studying of German literature is only a secondary consideration here. The reason for thus placing the stress is that, as this is an institution training for practical life, it is felt that the courses should be largely practical. German customs, manners, and institutions are studied. In addition, however, German classics find a place in the course. The Department has a number of valuable adjuncts in its instructional work. The Deutscher Verein Teutonia meets twice a month during the College year. Here training is had in the informal as well as in the formal use of German, in conversation, in singing German songs, etc. Membership is open to all students who have had two or more terms of College German or who have had at least a year of German in the high school. The dues are nominal and the work is very helpful. Students may secure valuable training also in the use of the German papers and magazines on file in the College library. The most important of these are Die Woche and Fliegende Blaetter, both published in Germany. A third incentive toward the development of the German work is the use of German texts in advanced courses of certain of the departments of instruction in the College. .qmmnniiiiTnTiiiiiinniiiTiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuumiiiini ' .jnmuiiiiiiniiiiionnimjminu] Ol)e JDepartmettt of Education The courses in the Department of Education have for their controlling purpose the professional training of teachers. Two classes of courses are offered: (1) Courses that give the broad fundamental principles upon which education is based, and (2) courses that function in technique and skill in school management and organization of the subject matter of the curriculum. All courses are based on the proposition that education supported by public taxation should function in social and vocational efficiency. The Department offers courses in general psychology, social psychology, his- tory of education, principles of education, educational psychology, educational administration, methods of instruction, rural education, agricultural education, industrial education, home economics education, vocational guidance and practice teaching. Graduates of the College who have taken twenty-four hours in the Department of Education are granted a state life teachers ' certificate by the state board of education. The School of Agriculture is in the department of education and is used for practice teaching. ? liilliliiiiilinmiiiiiiiiiiliiiTiiiiiiih.ininii Ol)e Tibrar? The Library had its origin in 1858 with the founding of Bluemont Central College. In 1863, when the college was taken over by the state, the library consisted of a few hundred books, mostly old Greek and Latin classics, religious monographs, sermons, etc., which had been solicited in the eastern states by President Dennison and other founders of the college. In 1867, Mr. J. H. Lee, Professor of Latin and Greek Languages and Litera- ture, was appointed as the first librarian. From its beginning the growth has been slow but steady. In 1878 it contained about 2,000 volumes; in 1884, 5,740 volumes; in 1897, 16,000 volumes. To-day there are about 49,000 volumes available for use besides a large collection of unbound material and pamphlets. A large share of this material has been secured by gift. During the full period of its existence, about 57 years, it has re- ceived but $42,599.00 in state appropriations to be de- voted to purchase of books and magazines. This is less than the amount spent by some institutional libraries in a single year for book purchase. The present library building was erected in 1894 and for a long time has been inadequate both as to space for readers and storage capacity for books. A modern fireproof building should be provided in the near future. The library contains about 49,000 bound volumes and many thousand pamphlets. It receives regularly about 400 serial publications. It is a depositary for all United States Government publications. It receives the publications of many of the great scientific and educational societies and institutions, noticeably of the Carnegie Institu- tion of Washington which is only sent to the leading universities and colleges of the country. Three reading rooms are maintained in the central building; the main reference room containing dictionaries, encyclopedias, atlases, handbooks and the bound files of magazines and serial publications as well as daily papers and local county papers of Kan- sas; and the room for special reserve books used in connection with class work. These rooms are opened freely to all students and the public in general as also is the stack room where the main collection of books is stored. The library is open for use every day in the year except holidays and Sundays. During term time it is also open evenings. The library aims to be of distinct use to every member of the college community. It should supply information for every teacher; it should be a storehouse of knowledge for every student; it should contain the latest results of experimentation and research the world over for the use of the investigator; it should form the center of cultural growth for the whole institution; it should serve, up to the limits of its capacity and scope, all the people of Kansas both through lending books and by giving information; it should become a vital factor in the large movement for better rural conditions throughout the state by stimulating the establishment of social center libraries. To perform these functions satisfactorily, the library needs the help and cooperation of all. The library aims to have in every department of its work trained and competent assistants who are able and anxious to be of the utmost service to all users of the library. ■!_ ■ r ; |lill|l|. ,; liHMi ■ir.l ' ;.||l ' !|i|.i|llllni[|||M|l;: l || ttilitarY department In 1862, during a period of national strife and danger, Congress passed and President Abraham Lincoln signed on July 2, an act entitled the Morrill Act. This was the first of a series of appropriation Acts giving moneys to specified schools throughout the country for certain purposes, among which was that of instruction in military tactics. The first Morrill Act donated to each state 30,000 acres of land for each senator and representative to which the state was at that time entitled and this, together with subse- quent acts has brought the grand total up to approximately $115,000.00 received by the college every year from the federal government. Manifestly this reduces the cost of education very materially to each individual student. Since the Morrill Act, which established the precedent of making appropriations for schools, was passed during ;the time of our great Civil War and when the country was realizing more than ever before the need of men trained in arms for defense of their country and when that country was resort- ing to every means possible to obtain de- fenders for the nation it is rather natural to come to the conclusion that one of the main objects in the minds of our legislatures, if not the main one, was to provide a means whereby a large number of young men of the country could receive instruction in military tactics, so that in case of future wars there would be a body of men scattered throughout the country from whom the National Government could select men as company officers of infantry and volunteers. During the past few years, the War Department, having begun to appre- ciate more than ever the need for the proper development and education of all college students along lines of National Defense, has been paying considerable more attention to colleges having Military Departments than heretofore, hence this department, while al- ways an important one, has grown to be the largest single department in the college and such a high standard of efficiency has been reached that the War Department has seen fit to place this school in the list of Distinguished Colleges of the United States. This means that of all the colleges in this class we rank among the ten best. One of the big main objects of this Department is to eliminate and dispel as far as possible the inherent, but unfounded fear, existing among the American people of a stand- ing army or so-called Militarism. Like a large mass of information possessed by the great majority of the people of the country, the information in regard to the needs of an Army and Navy, the cost of same, and the many problems of National Defense, is prac- tically a matter of hearsay rather than one of actual facts. This Department if properly handled and properly encouraged, will undoubtedly be- come one of the strongest, if not the strongest single factor for the development of all that is good in college life and for the highest things that college men should stand for because of the fact that all men enter the Department when they first enter college and because their work and the standard set for them here are the ones which make the first, greatest and probably the most permanent impression upon them. The standards of a soldier are those of the highest and the standard of all college men should be just as high, hence it is the aim of this department to establish such high ideals of honesty, truthfulness, con- scientiousness, uprightness, and honor among the men while in this department that it will be a foundation upon which to build for the whole college and every individual in the col- lege so that each and every one will come under that all-inclusive phrase, Conduct be- coming an officer and a gentleman and that all acts may be ruled and guided by this ideal.

' ; public Speaking The Public Speaking Department embraces all of forensic and histrionic endeavor — debating, oratory, dramatics, speaking, oral reading, and voice culture. Classes are held in the morning and rehearsals in the afternoon. The chief aim of the department is to get students to speak and read with expression. Good enunciation and pronunciation are therefore insisted upon, not only in the formal speeches made before the class, but in the ordinary conduct of the recitation. In the Extempore Speech classes the object is to get the student to treat technical subjects in a manner intelligible to the average layman. Every technical student should realize that most avenues of promotion are open to him who can either talk or write about subjects pertaining to his pro- fession. He who cannot do this must stay within the rut of daily routine without hopes of advancement. To insist upon clearness of expression is no small task, for the habit of careless speech and high-pitched, strident tones is typically American. There is an entire neglect in developing the speaking voice in clarity of diction and musical quality. Several reasons have been assigned for this neglect and consequent decay in our manner of speech. Some put the blame on the elementary schools and say that here in the most impressionable and plastic period of the child ' s life, correct habits of speech should be inculcated. Others say that our speech is defective because we have no na- tional academy such as the French have to act as an authority in the matter, but have to rely mainly upon the varying efficiency of our best writers, speakers, and actors. Again, the fact that reading aloud has not the place it once had in the curriculum of our schools and in the home is given as another reason. The family reading circle is a thing of the past in most places. Today with our ever increasing horde of books and improved system of lighting, the family reading lamp has been banished and every member of the family has his own special reading matter just as he has his own bread and butter plate and napkin ring. Someone has said, Set almost anyone to reading aloud and mark the degraded wretchedness of his utterance. Keep him at it and mark the inevitable im- provement in his speech. Good reading underlies good speaking. If one reads with expression, the chances are that he will speak in the same way provided he has the subject matter. We pay a heavy price for our silent reading because through it we miss much oi the beauty and form of literature and l anguage. We see then why it is that we say bo-kay for bouquet, Agri-cul-choor for agriculture, and individ-jool for individual, etc., and why we carelessly insist upon saying I yam, don ' t chew think so, gimme my hat, git red of, notchett, etc., etc. The College Dramatic Club is a student organization coming within the scope of work done in this department. It has a membership of fifty and includes students in all college courses. Meetings are held once a month at which two one-act plays are given- An annual play caps the climax of the year ' s work. Facing the Music by Henry Darnley and once starred in by Henry E. Dixie was the vehicle used March first, when it was given before a large and enthusiastic audience in the College Auditorium. The rural theatre is a project held in anticipation for next year. The idea is to coach the students to direct plays to such an extent that when they enter smaller communities as teachers or otherwise they will be able to do that sort of work there with the idea of arousing community and social interest and leadership — something that is needed very much today in rural communities. tg iiiiitiifiifiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiifiifiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiii iia Mbiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiriiriiiiiiiriiiiriiiriiii inujdlV department of ;pbr 5ica l £6ucation The Department of Physical Education in this Col- lege has its justification in the fact that it offers oppor- tunity for healthful recreation and participation in regular and systematic physical exercises conducive to the devel- opment of organic vigor. It is being recognized more clear- ly every day that modern education must take account of the various factors affecting the health of the individual. Institutions are under a serious obligation to make the en- vironment of the student safe, sanitary, and healthful. The faculty of this institution appreciates the beneficial results derived from regular and systematic exercise and have recommended that two years of physical work be re- quired for women in both the School of Agriculture and in the College; and that one year of physical training for men be required in the School of Agriculture and elective in the College for credit. To show further the appreciation of the faculty toward this particular phase of work, it might be noted here that physical training may be elected for credit to the amount of six units above the requirement. The following phases of work are combined for car- rying out the Department aims: First, a physical exami- nation is required of all entering students, and work in the Department is then assigned according to the needs, tastes, and capacities. Second, Hygienic Instruction. This instruction aims to give an insight into the practical problems of daily, helpful living. Directions will be given for avoiding the common ills of student life, and for maintaining the highest degree of physical and mental condition while in college. Third, Instruction in Physical Exercise. This course furnishes instruction in all the various gymnastic and athletic exercises, namely, gymnastic, free hand, light hand apparatus, heavy apparatus, athletics, plays, and games. Fourth, Inter-Class and Inter-Collegiate activities in all phases of athletic sports. The department is the best equipped in the Middle West to offer opportunity for physical exercise, plays, and games; having one of the largest and finest gymnasiums in this section; and a large athletic field. The men ' s gymnasium has an exercising floor 132 feet in length and 80 feet in width, equipped with the latest gymnastic apparatus. There is also a cork linoleum running track in the gallery sixteen laps to the mile; a swim- ming pool and shower baths in the locker rooms. The opportunity for work in the women ' s department is as great as that for the men. There is a fair sized exercising room for the women, equipped with apparatus; a swimming pool in the locker room; showers and lockers; an opportunity for tennis, field hockey and other outdoor sports. The policy for the Department is the greatest good for the greatest number. During the present term in the Men ' s Department there are 365 students regularly enrolled for developmental work offered under gymnastics and systematic exercise. In addition to this there are 255 men taking daily track work and baseball, also 26 men in class work in boxing and about the same number in wrestling. For the present term in the Women ' s Department there are not less than 595 women taking regular and system- atic work, which shows a total of 1267 students of the College engaged in healthful and systematic physical activities during the present term. The School has been a member of the Missouri Valley Conference in Athletics for the last two years, and maintains a schedule with all the leading teams of the Conference. We have made a creditable standing in this higher competition, especially in basket-ball, track and baseball, and we are hopeful that with additional help in the Department, that foot- ball may be equally successful. The greatest need of the Department at the present time is a larger teaching staff, and additional play fields for both men and women, in order that every student in the Insti- tution may have the opportunity to engage in some phase of healthful recreative exer- cise adapted to the needs, tastes, and capacities of the individuals. Aj UAJ AJ ol £- - Music in the Kansas State Agricultural College is offered to her students free of charge, a privilege of which no other institution can boast. Under Professor Olof Valley, the Director of Music, the Music Department has made rapid progress. Professor Valley, realizing that music is becoming one of the strongest factors in the progressive social life of rural communities, has had as his aim the training which will enable the students to make use of their music in their homes and in their social life rather than the training of them for professional work in music. The different musical organizations and the excellent programs which they present, testify to the efficient work done by the Department. The Choral Society, Orches- tra, Band and Glee Club give annual concerts and the entire department gives several recitals during the college year. The following program was given at the last annual concert by the orchestra, under the direction of Professor R. H. Brown. Selection from Aida Verdi Symphony No. 6 (Pathetique) B Minor Op. 74 Tschaikowsky Concerto for Pianoforte, No. 1, Op. 23 Tschaikowsky The Lady of the Slipper Herbert (a) Valse Triste Op. 44 Sibelius (6) Marche Militaire . Shubert Lohengrin Wagner At the Glee Club concert given last March, this program was given: I Wish to Tune My Quivering Lyre Spross On the Road to Mandalay Speaks If You Would Love Me McDermid Ashes of Roses Hawley In a Persian Garden LizaLehmann (a) Mammy ' s Lullaby Spross (6) Elegy on the Death of a Mad Dog Hammond A Dream of Arcady De Koven Just a Wearyin ' for You Carrie Jacobs Bond When Mabel Sings Speaks The feature of the year, however, is the opera given in the spring under the direction of Professor Olof Valley. The Pirates of Penzance will be given this year, and from the comments already heard it will be a fine presentation of the opera. It is Professor Valley ' s ambition to install a Pipe Organ in the Auditorium at some future date, and with this aim in view two years ago he started a Pipe Organ fund to which the proceeds of all the concerts have been added since then. The reports show the sum total of the net pro- ceeds to be nearly $800. With the proceeds from the Pirates of Penzance it is hoped to raise the sum to the four figure mark. After the sum has increased somewhat it is to be hoped that an appropriation or an endowment can be obtained which will ensure the success of the movement at some early date.

Home Economics as a distinctive subject of instruction treats of the economic, sanitary and aesthetic aspects of food, clothing and shelter including their selection, preparation, and use by the family or by larger groups of people. At the Kansas State Agricultural College the importance of home economics as a part of a general and ade- quate scheme of college education for women has been recognized since 1873, and by earnest and sympathetic study of the problems involved, courses have been formulated that are designed to fit young women to be home makers and capable women in what- ever sphere their life work may be. In accordance with the best judgment of the recognized national leaders of the home economics movement, the work of the Division of Home Economics at the Kan- sas State Agricultural College is organized into four subdivisions, viz., Food, Clothing, Shelter, and Household Management. The responsibility for the courses in Foods and largely for the courses in Shelter and Home Management is centered in the Do- mestic Science department. Twelve trained women constitute the Domestic Science department faculty. The courses in Clothing are taught by the faculty of ten women which constitutes the Domestic Art department. The courses in Color and Design and Home Decoration are taught by the two young women of the Home Art depart- ment. The Extension work in Home Economics includes the several phases of the work and is carried on by six young women who are members of the Extension Division. Since instruction in home economics is based on laws of the physical, biological, and sociological sciences, a knowledge of these is essential. These basal subjects are given in the several departments of the College. This arrangement makes it possible to present science, applied science and practice in their proper relation. To the end that well rounded culture may be attained courses in English, literature, history, etc. are given due prominence. It is peculiarly appropriate that one of the finest buildings on the campus of the Kansas State Agricultural College should be the one erected and maintained for the education of young women. The first and second floors of the building are devoted to laboratories, kitchens, and lecture rooms for the work in domestic science. One of the unique features is a large dining room, with eight individual kitchens, for the practical work in the preparation and serving of meals. The laboratories are well lighted and well equipped to teach the different nutrition courses. On the second floor of this building there is also a suite of rooms for the use of the young women for rest and study. The entire third floor is used by the Department of Domestic Art. The large sewing room, exhibit rooms and class rooms are well equipped to present the different courses in Domestic Art. There is probably no other home economics building in the United States so thor- 118 Division of Home Economics — Continued oughly equipped that is used exclusively for teaching of home economics, and yet it is not large enough for the work of the Division of Home Economics at the Kansas State Agricultural College. The classes in Home Art are still being taught in Anderson Hall because of lack of room in the Home Economics building. In teaching, a selection of facts and principles is made from the various sources, and in their presentation these are so related to the business and life of the home, as to give to homemaking the dignity of a profession. That woman finds her truest sphere of usefulness and greatest joy in the performance of the duties of homemaking is generally conceded, consequently a study of the home, its surroundings, its sanitation and decor- ation; the problems of buying materials needed in feeding, sheltering and clothing the family; the relation of the family and home to the community; and the moral, physical and intellectual development of the child, are important factors in a woman ' s education. The young women are, however, constantly reminded that technical knowledge and scientific ski ll fail to include the full meaning of education in its highest sense. They are taught that any training that fails to develop harmoniously, body, mind and spirit js inadequate and incomplete. They are brought face to face with ideals as well as with actualities, and are made to see that, while skillful labor gives dignity to life, grace, refinement, and self poise are the highest requisites for true service. Experience shows that such training teaches contentment, industry, order and cleanliness, and fosters a woman ' s independence and feeling of responsibility. The importance of such training for the young woman cannot be overestimated, for out of this comes the up- lifting of the home ideal, and the rearing of finer and stronger men and women, into freer and fuller lives of usefulness. 2 - C a a 2 ■ ■■ ' ■■ . ■- Iiiiliiiiliniiiiiiilimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniimiiiiiiiiiiiiuiii JDepartment of iDomestic Science The Department of Domestic Science includes in its teaching the subjects of foods, dietetics, marketing and serving, home problems, household administration, sanitation and public health, institutional management and cookery, together with methods of teaching these subjects in the schools and the extension field. With the wider introduction of household arts in high schools, the advance made in the study of nutri- tion applied to the needs of the body, the pressing economic problems of the high cost of living, a change is being wrought in the field of instruction in Domestic Science. The teaching of cooking of food is not enough. The course must also include the nutritive and economic value. The education of no girl in foods is complete unless it makes her alive not only to all this but also to sociological conditions affecting the raw material and the manufactured products. The housekeeping of our towns, cities, etc., is falling more and more each year into the hands of women. For that reason home nursing, sanitation and public health have an added significance in the course. The efficiency system, so lauded in the business world, has as yet little use in the home, but we are beginning to make motion studies of dish washing, sweeping and bed- making — the drudgery task of the household — and it will not be long until the house- work is systematized as much as is compatible with the true spirit of the home, which after all is not to be reckoned in time, money, or systems of any kind.

Many changes have occurred during that time, all tending toward progress, showing that the College and students are ready to grasp the new ideas, advanced by the leading educators in Home Economics work. Since technic, science, art, and educational subjects characterize the field of Domestic Art, courses which treat of the manipulation of materials, costume design, art needlework, millinery and textiles, have been offered. These subjects reach out to bring into close touch an understanding of materials, eco- nomic values, and correct art in dress construction. Domestic Art has often been called wholly materialistic, yet it is due to this kind of education that sewing may be called an art as well as a science, for back of this lies the mind and imagination, which through the skill of the worker produce something worth while. It is interesting to note that culture increases the demand for more artistic clothing, and great opportunity may be exercised in a course of Costume Design. This not alone teaches what is appropriate and becoming to the individual in a dress, but that a dress of good material, simply made, is better than cheap, tawdry finery. Neatness and at- tractiveness are based on simplicity and beauty, rather than the passing fancies and fads of the people who merely live to dress. The economic and scientific worker studies into the problems of textiles. It is a means to obtain better materials, and through specific problems, such as the use of the microscope and chemicals, adulterations may be detected in clothes. Since a large per cent, of the income is spent on clothing and house furnishings, an important and careful study should be given to textiles, so that in purchasing materials one may learn to know whether full value is received for money expended and to know that it is economy to purchase good rather than cheap materials. Throughout the progress of the department, the purpose has not been alone to meet these great domestic needs which come to each individual, but through its teaching to achieve successful results. It is to its graduates that the College looks to contribute towards its advancement, and expects each student to show her interest and loyalty by keeping in touch with new work and introducing it into the community life of which she is a part.

While life is ever growing more efficient, it is at the same time growing more nearly ideal. While every man and woman is seeking greater and greater success in his voca- tion, he is at the same time recognizing greater and greater responsibilities for active, vital service. For both personal success and altruistic service the members of the Class of 1915 are well fitted. A record of faithful, efficient college work, of active participation in college affairs, of devotion to the best interests of the institution, causes the Class now to receive the hearty commendation and earnest good wishes of the Board of Adminis- tration, of the Faculty, and of all the underclassmen. The members of the Class of 1915 will join the ranks of the efficient and faithful alumni who look backward to their college days for new inspiration in their duties, but to whom the college also looks with pride and gratitude. Much of what the college is, it owes to its former students. It is a constant pleasure to those interested in the in- stitution to look over the country, and indeed other countries as well, and see alumni not only efficient farmers, efficient scientists, efficient teachers, efficient engineers, efficient business men, efficient home makers, but also leaders in the life of their com- munities and their states, to which they are giving higher purposes for the individual, larger conceptions of civic duty, and more effectual ideals of social betterment. To the example of such success and such service, the College points the Class of 1915 with full confidence. Sincerely yours.

W. Linn for the purpose of forming the Class organization, on the 28th day of September, 1911. Mr. Linn was elected as the temporary chairman and Miss Louise Wal- bridge to act as the t€mporary secretary. At this meeting a committee, composed of Mr. Pollock, Mr. Keithline, Mr. Pateman, Mr. Brown and Miss Walbridge was appointed to draw up a constitution for the approval of the class. In due time the body of Law Makers presented to the class for discussion the constitution of the class, which was adopted by the class on Oct. 26, 1911, A. D. Mr. Linn was chosen to be the head of the executive affairs during the period of embarking on the Sea of Learning. November 17, of this year, stands out as a date long to be remembered in the an- nals of our class. It was the date of the first class party, which was held in the basement of the Fairchild Hall. Games were played and refreshments served. This party has been well termed by many as a Tropical Blowout. Mr. Slentz was elected as the president for the winter term of the Freshman year. Soon the class became anxious and repeated the success of the party of the fall term. Our Ship of State was guided during the Spring term by A. L. Marble. In the month of May the record breaker, so far as attendance goes, in class parties was held. By all it was voted as a most enjoyable time. After a very successful year we made our way homeward, only to return in a short three months, full of enthusiasm for the ensuing year. With the idea of improving on the previous year, Mr. W. J. Scanlan was elected president for the fall term of the Sophomore year. Since the Sophomores had decided to sit in the Pit at chapel, the Frosh decided that they liked the section, so it was with severity that hurt us more than it did the Frosh we persuaded them that it was a reserved section. Mr. L. B. Mann was elected to serve as the president for the winter term. Lorenzo, an imported product, brought many new ideas from Nebraska, and a very prosperous term it was that the class spent under the leadership of this native of Nebraska. The Spring term of the year found Willard J. Loomis in the Presidential Chair. Since the Right Honorable St. Patrick gave to us March 17 as a holiday, we decided to give a party on that day. This party was given in the Y. M. C. A. Building. The room was profusely decorated in green drapery and in shamrocks. An in-door track meet, in which several promising athletes took part, was held. An ending was brought to the evening by the serving of a very sumptuous banquet. During the fall term of the Junior year we had as a guide, Mr. F. W. Johnson. During this term it was necessary to elect the Class Book manager. After much elec- tioneering the class finally elected Willard Loomis as the Manager of the Royal Purple for the year of ' 14- ' 15. Since then Willard has proven worthy of the trust that was bestowed upon him. The football team of the Junior year claimed the inter-class championship without a single defeat. The members of the team were presented with silver watch fobs as a token of appreciation from the class for the fight which they put up. The class being a fighter against political pull, showed its spirit by cutting all fourth hour classes and bidding Custodian Lewis a good-bye. Again we find a new man in the Presidential chair, Mr. W. F. Smith. It was during this term that a permanent class History Book was started. A most noteworthy occurrence. IliliiiiHillllililiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiij Mistorv of tbe Class of Nineteen Munored fifteen — (Tontinuco The basket-ball season of the year of 1914 was all but a victorious one for the Juniors, being second only to the first year men. Thus the year ended with the score of 1000 for the Frosh and .666 for the Juniors. The largest question before the class for the year was the dance question. On the 5th of February the class decided to give a dance. It was understood that Colonel Wadley was to be the chairman of the dance committee. The question was again brought up on the 12th of February for a final decision and the annual Spring Dance was planned, and as a dance committee F. W. Johnson, M. P. Goudy, Velora Fry, W. N. Skourup and Ruth Hill were appointed to carry the plans into effect. They met and re-met, only to meet again and to see if the Seniors would gain permission to dance in the Gymnasium. However, they were unsuccessful in the attempt. Our ever ambi- tious Shorty Fowler made a motion that we have a few practice matinee dances; this carried and much was the enjoyment that they afforded. Mr. W. H. Wilson, the president for the spring term found his hands full with the coming of the Junior-Senior Banquet, and the class party. The party was an unusual success, a reception being given in the ladies ' Gymnasium and later those wishing to dance being allowed to wend their way to the Aggieville Hall, where the memorable stunt was pulled off, — was the martyr-like expression of Fat Hooker, while acting as door-keeper. On the evening of May 29, 1914, the Junior-Senior Banquet was given. For the benefit of those who are in doubt as to just what this occasion might be I beg to submit the following definition: Banquet — A social function at which one endures a poor meal for the sake of the speaking which is to follow and then endures the poor speaking for the sake of politeness. The affair included a reception in the Nicholas Gymnasium, the Junior Farce in the Auditorium, and the banquet on the main floor of the Gymnasium. There was a large attendance and the committee might well feel much complimented on the success of the evening. The committee was composed of L. B. Mann as chairman, Mary Gurnea, Louise Walbridge, C. W. Shaver, L. M. Nabours, J. W. Linn and F. M. Layton. Mr. Walter Smith acted as the toastmaster for the evening and the following speeches were given: Address of Welcome Mary Inez Mann Response Margaret Blanchard Roast to the Juniors Russel Williamson Toast to the Seniors W. H. Wilson Presentation of Shepherd ' s Crook W. L. Sweet Acceptance of Shepherd ' s Crook W. N. Skourup On the morning of June ninth the Juniors had charge of the chapel exercises and held a funeral service over the class of 1914. John Hungerford was to have given the address but was forcibly detained by the ' 14s in the basement of the Chemistry Building. The ' 15s finally rescued him and escorted him to the Auditorium where the ' 14s made an effort to keep him from the building but were unsuccessful. The chief results of the scrap wer e the loss of clothing by some of the participants and of the dignity of the ' 14s engaged in the rumpus. During the scrap, however, another speaker was substituted for the one that was detained. Don L. Irwin delivered the address and the music was furnished by L. B. Mann and M. A. Lindsey. The coffin and the remains were then sorrowfully re- moved and the whole cremated, the Juniors in charge. Mr. M. P. Goudy held the Presidential Chair during the fall term of the Senior year. This year being an important one, it was very necessary that we have a good leader and this Goudy proved to be. If there is one thing besides the cat that has nine lives, it is the dance question. It came back to us again this year, but there is to be yet the first dance on the Hill. We again contented ourselves with a few matinee dances, th e profits from which were turned over to the Belgian Fund. . As usual the Seniors stand for College Spirit as well as for the class spirit. It was de- cided to have a section of the seats next to the band reserved for the Seniors at the Okla- homa-Aggie Football game.

We were much worried at having one so small and inexperienced thus thrust out into the stern realities (of the bleachers). But all ' s well that ends well, and our desire to sit apart and ponder on the game was duly respected. During the reign of President Goudy one of the most successful class parties ever held was enacted on December the fourth, 1914. It was a masquerade affair. All the costumes were very attractive in their way but they differed in their way. McClymonds looked the veritable Devil and as such he claimed the prize for the men. while Miss Beall as the Indian Maiden claimed the honors for the ladies. Mammy Hooker and several others could well deserve more than honorable mention but we could not do so without writing a full history of masquerades. Mr. W. A. Hagan was president for the winter term of our last year. To Bill Hagan the Royal Purple Committee gives the credit of keeping down the false criticism which usually falls against the members of the Class Book Committee. Bill being a good helms- man always made it a point to put the real workers on his committees and as a result all the business of the term was carried off on schedule time. The class during this adminis- tration gave no social events due to the fact that there was all together too many other matters which kept the class busy. Our last term has come all too soon and we have chosen as our last president Don L. Irwin. We were royally entertained by the Junior Class on the night of May 14, 1915. This evening is a bright spot near the close of our College days and as such will never be wiped from our memories. We have always tried to be an upright class, one which could well be a model for the following classes. We have been well represented in literary work and different school organizations and to say that we have been represented in athletics is not enough as will be understood by naming the following K men, who will leave vacant places in the teams next year: Burkholder, Fowler, Agnew, Enns, Scanlan, McClymonds, Marble, Coxen, Haymaker, Coith, Collins, Bengtson, Smith. As we step out into the world it is with the fondest feelings for our Alma Mater, where our History worked out so successfully and so pleasantly. With greetings to the classes that have gone ahead and to those that follow — Good-Bye. PRESIDENTS OF THE CLASS OF 1915 Freshman J. W. Linn Charles Slentz A. L.

IN THE Fall of 1914 there came to the Kansas State Agricultural College the jovial and enthusiastic Freshman class. To this ambitious and energetic throng the gates of the College were widely thrown open and even upon the faces of the austere faculty, welcome was written. At once the class set out to win the good will of every teacher as well as student, and it succeeded. When in later years these lines are pe- rused, let the memory of this good will help every one to hold it. The ' 18s have already taken an active part in various student activities. A great cement K is planned to be erected on the heights of Prospect and will probably be in position by next fall. The freshman football team captained by George Hewey has proven to everyone after winning the championship that in a few years K. S. A. C. will have a record team. Just as active a part has been taken in basket-ball. We are proud of these men who are representing the freshman athletics and their future promises to help the class make this great College greater. The social events of the class are two in number. In the fall one hundred and fifty freshmen hiked to Wildcat and the memory of this enjoyable entertainment will remain with us for no short time. In the winter term the customary class party was held in the Nichols Gymnasium, and was a complete success; perhaps the most memorable features being the informality of the party and the generous refreshments. The far-seeing eye might discern from day to day, forms, hurrying to and fro upon the campus, ever bent upon receiving at the end of the four short years the laurels which are due. This simple account is given to remind the readers that the Spirit of K. S. A. C. will not leave with the senior class of 1915, but will remain during the three untarnished years that lie before us. May they ever be bright. L_.

Lowman, director of athletics at the Kansas State Agricultural College, is a graduate of the Springfield Y. M. C. A. Training School of Springfield, Massachusetts, where he specialized in football and baseball. Following three years as athletic director of the University of Louisiana, Professor Lowman assisted in the department of athletics at the University of Missouri where he had charge of the baseball and the basket-ball teams and assisted Bill Roper, the famous ex-Princeton mentor to turn out one of the first Tiger teams to trounce the Jayhawkers effectively. Professor Lowman has been overworked while at Manhattan. During the first two seasons he coached everything except track and also directed the department of physical training. Coupled with the task of arranging the schedule for the various teams and attempt- ing to make them pay out, Professor Lowman has more than had his hands full of trouble. Following the 1914 football season Lowman resigned as coach of football and a new face will be seen in the 1915 coaching staff next fall. Lowman now has complete charge of the athletic department and coaches baseball. ; — : ' ■ - ■— : Carl J. Merner Carl J. Merner, assistant coach of Varsity teams and specialist in basket-ball and track is also a graduate of the Springfield Y. M. C. A. Training School where he made a mark for himself as being the most adaptable athlete ever enrolled. Besides being an able athlete, Merner has a splendid line of personality and pep and gets away good with his men. He received his early schooling at the Cedar-Falls Teachers College of Cedar Falls, Iowa, where, when he graduated, the President stated that he was the best all- around athlete ever turned out of the school. Merner has done wonderful work, considering the material with his basket-ball and track teams during the past two seasons. In basket-ball the Aggies have ranked higher than third in the ' conference each year and this season ' s track team, topping out the season with a win over the Jayhawker in his lair, bids fair to rank high in the Champion- ships at Columbia. illlllllllllllllll :=? — ffify m i football Don ' t flinch. 6on ' t foul, bit the line ) xh. — Theodore Roosevelt. IW Mm Tootball LACK of material was the greatest hindrance during the 1914 football season. Beginning with the ends and drifting back to the pilots Coach Lowman was con- tinually in hot water keeping enough fighters in the lineup. The schedule was too heavy for the team and also for the fans judging from the brand of support the team received. The Aggies found the initial game with Southwestern an easy affair and played well against the Normals, holding the Emporians to a scoreless tie in the best played game of the year. The Cornhusker and Sooner battles were acknowledged defeats before the teams hit the field but the Kansas and Missouri games worked surprises. The scores in each of these contests would have been different had the line given better support to the backfield. The Washburn contest was peculiar in that it served as an actual example of the breaks in luck in athletics. The team lacked an individual star, a man who could be rushed into the battle when the crucial moment was at hand and who could be relied upon to deliver the goods. As a whole the team worked well, but disastrous individual weakness arose at critical moments with ruinous results to the win column.

His work although never sensational was of the peppiest sort and his fight was enough for many ordinary players. The best that can be said is that the 1915 team will miss him sadly. Emmett Warren Skinner played end on the ' 14 Var- sity and played so well that the gang elected him captain of the ' 15 team. Skinner never quit and always ran through and knocked a man down, which is something more than some players accomplished. Nicholas Enns played in the backfield and used his speed and fight to good advantage until superior weight began to tell and the football boss rushed someone from the sidelines to the rescue. Nick ended his football career against Washburn. $ ?T iiiiiiiliiiiiiiiiliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirr!i:i!iiiiiiim i A V.: Hen Haymaker played quarter on the team for a second season and showed marked improvement over his work in the preceding year. His work around the ends was probably the best in his style of play. Chief Haucke was the ideal full- back of the lot. His knee-action spoke for better gains than he usually drew but some of this could be laid to the line for not opening the holes. Chief has one more year. Fritz Hartwig became infected with typhoid fever near the end of the season and the team lost one of the hardest fighting backfielders of the squad. Hartwig usually managed to make a gain no matter how rough the going. He has one more year. ■ [.■■; . 1 ' ,: | i i ll :ill. ! !IIHIHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIII I i m ■ ■•■ ' ■ ■ _. _ Bert Barnes with another year ' s ex- perience will make one of the best half backs the Varsity has had in years. His build and speed made him worthy of the letter. Marshall Wilder played the first football of his life on last fall ' s team and made good at an end job. His work did not look promising until near the end of the season when he played in demoniacal fashion. ■ ' ; . Earl Briney won his first foot- ball letter playing substitute tackle and guard. At Missouri he re- placed Marble and did effective work with his weight and speed and fight combined. ' [i :•■: iiiiiniiiiiimiijiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiniiUir Lawrence Bernard also won his first football letter on last fall ' s team. Bernard played an end and was particu- larly good on getting down under punts and spoiling the return. Archie Marble ' s weight should have made him the best tackle in the Valley but he lacked the fight on the defense although he proved a mighty good ground-gainer on offense. Marble ' s football career ended with the Washburn battle. Henry Bayer played tackle, guard, and center at different times during the ' 15 season and he made his best showing from the guard berth. Bayer played his first season and will make a val- uable lineman for next fall ' s coach. mnnnnanniiniiJiiiiiiufiJiinniinnnir., jnunnnnnnnnunnnniiniiiiininni ■• in ■ Wilbur Wright, probably better known as Ras- tus, played center, tackle, guard, in fact any old place in the center of the line and played it well. His best work was from the tackle position. He has one more year coming to him, according to Valley rules. Bill Scanlan ' s weight made him in- valuable from a tackle position although like Burkholder of the year before, he was troubled by weak ankles. Scanlan was known and feared as the hardest fighter in the line. Harry Coxen played the center position for the ' 15 team in masterful style. His passing offensively was the best of any of the pivot men. On the defense Harry did much good work throughout the season. 2 J resb man Freshmen Varsity 1914 Arthur Burkholder Coach, Freshman Varsity, 1914 basket all Me that wrestles will) us strengthens our nerves, an6 sharpens our skill. Our antagonist is our helper. — Burke basket all THE 1915 basket-ball season gave the Aggie indoor-sport fans many good and ex- citing eye-feasts but very little to crow about as wins go. Two-thirds of the eighteen contests permitted by the Conference were shunted into the lost column and six battles resulted in victories. The Aggies for a second year in succession spoiled the Jayhawkers ' ever-victorious hopes by winning the only game lost by that team throughout the entire season. The proteges of Carl J. Merner were handicapped at the post by lack of size and weight. Throughout the entire season no team as light in weight was met. This proved fatal in many of the games played as the larger teams simply wore the lighter Aggies down and administered the final punch of defeat. Captain Eddell C. Jones proved one of the best defensive players in the Con- ference and was ably seconded in the back-field by Ramsey and MacMillan, each of whom played his first year. Leonard and Mcllrath met the best crop of pivot material the Valley has raised in many seasons and gained honors. Captain-elect Adams, Bengs- ton, and Reynolds, performed well in the forward positions throughout the season but the team lacked a real individual goal-shooting star.

Jones captained the 1915 Aggie basket-ball team and played one of the best guards in the Conference. His free-throwing featured several of the earlier games of the season. Jones was always the most aggressive man on the team and fought every team to the last ditch. The 1915 season ended Jones ' time. R. V. Adams, captain-elect of the 1916 basket-ball team, played his second season. Although he was not in all of the games of the schedule Adams played well at the close, fighting his best in the two Missouri battles on Nichols. Earl Ramsey won his K for the first time as a utility backfielder. Ramsey was always ready to mix with any op- ponent and followed the play well although he did fail many times at shots from the floor. ,.,,., J. E. Bengston was one of the coolest players on the team and one of the most trustworthy. The Swede was long on team-work and was one of the best shots on the squad. He has one more year of [Valley com- petition. L K Frank Reynolds played his first year and played it well. He was easily the hardest player on the team. His shooting was usually unerring and his head always cool yet full of the old right. Roscoe MacMillan romped right along on Jones ' heels for honors as first guard. His work as defensive guard featured the play of the Aggie five throughout t he season. Mac has two more years of Valley [time. FliiilllllillllllMii: ' I ' : ' ■ !

Uni- versity of Missouri team in the fifth of a schedule of ten games with the Conference members. The most noteworthy performances of the season were the two suc- cessive victories over the University of Kansas team in the final games of the season on College Field. Neither of K. U. ' s crack pitchers, Smee nor Bishop, could stop the slugging Aggies, and Kansas dropped the series, 4 to 1, and 6 to 0. Bill Bailey, Hodgson, and Sullivan, did the box work for the Lowman help; Hodgson working in the larger number of the games with good success. Bailey ' s work was injured at the start of the season by a severe attack of mumps, the ailment weaken- ing the Aggie heaver ' s work throughout the entire season. At the close of the schedule, however, Bailey was awarded the silver baseball emblematic of the best pitching record of the season. Captain-elect Briney ' s stick work earned him the silver bat his percentage at the close of the season being .265. Red Agnew ' s work at second proved good throughout the season and labeled the Smith Center player the best form exponent of the game on the team. At the beginning of the season Coach Lowman experienced considerable difficulty with his help at the third station. The shift of Briney to third and McCly- monds to short developed to be the right combination.

Lowman used the diminutive Oklahoman as utility player through- out the entire season. F. P. Sullivan pitched some mighty good ball for the Lowman team last spring and everyone was glad to see Sully draw his letter after his three years of faith- ful preliminary work. Bill Scanlan worked behind the plate for the Lowman help and held a pretty hefty peg secondward throughout the entire season. Bill used good head- work on opposing batters but owing to his weight was a trifle slow on the path. 272 iillllilHlliimiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiminiiiii Red Agnew displayed more real baseball form than any man seen in action on College Field last season. His hitting was the only drawback in the path of a big time future. Last year was his second. Cap Briney ' s chief delight was pegging the runner out at first by inches and worrying the umps to dis- traction guessing ' em that close. Briney played third and hit the ball .265 gaining the silver bat. He also played his second season. Stubby Broddle was the runt lead-off guy for the help. His work in the field looked well and he handled the clubs in nice style. Broddle is now playing his second season. r rrr .■ JUi ' - ' J l U ' Jii MTiTTTTr Bill Bailey was Lowman ' s iron-man from the 1913 season but the mumps hit Bill amidships early in ' 14 and relieved him of some mighty good pitching stuff. At that he proved equal to all and gained the silver baseball. He completed his time last year. Nick Enns captained the 1914 crew and played center gardener in each little nine act drama or farce whichever happened to come, but the beauty of it all was that the Russian got away with the goods. Nick is now playing his last show in Varsity athletics. Hoddy Hodgson loomed up as the nearest rival of the Iron Man Bailey. Hoddy is a great thinker and plays the game according to his own ideas to a great extent. Last season was his first on the team.

' ' -Shakespeare Orack THE 1914 track team was one of the most successful aggregations of runners and field athletes ever assembled under the College colors. Not until the outdoor season arrived did the team begin to show its real metal. Welsh, Frizzell, and Young, created new records in the hurdles, high jump, and pole vaulting events. The first meet of the season was against Kansas at Lawrence indoors, and the Aggies with an untried team failed to show to advantage. Beginning the outdoor season with the University of Oklahoma team at Norman, the Merner athletes performed well, holding the Sooners to a 53 to 48 point win. On the following week-end the University of Kansas again took the outdoor tussle by a big count and on the next Saturday the Aggies came back and forced the University of Missouri to win the relay to take the meet. The Kansas State Normals lost a one-sided affair to the Aggies at Emporia and the Mis- souri Valley meet at St. Louis, May 30, closed the season.

S. A. C. dates from the opening of the school year of 1913, when Lieutenant Roy A. Hill, Commandant of Cadets, called for men to organize a rifle club and enter a team in the inter-collegiate matches. One hundred and forty men responded to the call and a club was organized and admitted to the National Rifle Association of America and an indoor team entered into the Indoor Matches. After a few weeks practice under the able coaching of Lieutenant Hill, the team was selected and the matches begun, one match being shot each week for ten weeks. The team finished fourth, which was very good for the first season. Lieutenant Hill saw the need of an outdoor range, which would be close to college and at the same time perfectly safe to fire the army rifle on. After making a personal tour of the surrounding country he selected the present site of the rifle range on the ani- mal husbandry farm just north of the dairy barn, and received permission from President Waters to dig a pit and put in targets. Last fall at the opening of school. Lieutenant Hill held a tryout for the purpose of sending a team to the Divisional Matches of the United States Army and National Guard at Ft. Riley. This was the first time K. S. A. C. was ever represented, but the team took fifth place, and we hope a team will be sent to these matches each year. At the close of the Ft. Riley matches Lieutenant Hill called a meeting of the rifle club, for the purpose of starting the indoor shooting, and about ninety men responded, among whom were six members of last year ' s team. At this meeting the following officers were elected: President, Major J. W. Linn; Secretary, Lieut. L. H. Bixby: Treasurer, R. F. Mirick; Range Captain, Lieut. Roy A. Hill. Lieutenant Hill informed the men that rifle shooting had come to stay if he could possibly make it succeed, and that he desired to put rifle shooting on the same basis as the other college sports, that is: the team should have a coach, a regular course of in- struction in rifle shooting, the members of the team would be excused from drill for prac- tice as other teams, and that an endeavor would be made to secure K ' s for the members of the team. Lieut. L. D. LaTourrette, N. G. A., a member of the Arizona Rifle Team to Camp Perry, Ohio, for five successive years, was engaged to coach the team and the result of his work was shown in the good scores the team made. Our team finished second in Class C Division, Yale beating us by the narrow margin of six points on the grand total of nine matches. Next year K. S. A. C. will be in Class B. and we hope will be able to win a prize in that division. The team regrets the loss of its Range Captain and National Rifle Association Judge, Lieut. Roy A. Hill, who will not be here next year as his assignment to College work expires next June and he will return to his regiment. Credit is due Lieutenant Hill for establishing rifle shooting in this institution and we trust it will continue. Sergeant E. L. Claeren helped the team out in many ways and acted as N.R.A. Judge during the absence of Lieutenant Hill. , - : ' : ■■■ ' .I ' i- ' P- Kansas State Gallery Team, 1915 Williams Croyle Hedstrom Warren Bixby Sgt. E. L. Claeren Lieut. R. A. Hill L. D.

S. A. C. soon after the na- tional Student Volunteer Convention at Nashville in 1906. The local band cooperates with the national organization of the Student Volunteer Movement of America in spread- ing the missionary spirit throughout the country, helping in every possible way to bring about a realization of the slogan of the organization which is, The Evangelization of the World in This Generation. Every Volunteer is a missionary at heart and although the great majority of them never reach the foreign field, a great many take up some form of missionary work in this country and all of them are ever ready to co-operate with any movement that works for the uplift of the human race. Those who have gone from K. S. A. C. to foreign missionary fields are: Miss Lily K. Haas To China, 1914 Mr. John C. Taylor To India, 1914 Mr. and Mrs. W. W.

The increase in member- ship and activity of the Association this year indicates its growth. The membership of the Association is open to any student interested in dairying. It is the purpose of this organization to bring the students interested in dairy work in closer touch and to give the underclassmen an opportunity to see the advantages of dairying before choosing their course in college. We held our second annual stock judging contest this year and awarded three medals to the winners. fn ' iiriiiiiiiiiliilViinii Dun, 1 11111)11111 18 , J inill)iMl)llllllllllMllllllllllllllinnrTTTTTTT ' 2Ul pup Ol)e JDair? -Association Whitenack Hupp Cave Brooks Arnold C.

The Jayhawher Saddle and Sirloin Club is composed of Senior, Junior and Sopho- more students in the Animal Husbandry Department of the College. The purpose of the club is to promote the breeding of better livestock in Kansas. There are forty-four active members of the club. The meetings are held on the second and fourth Monday evenings of each month during the college year. The first year ' s history of the club has been one of success. The first annual Jay- hawker Fair was held by the club on November sixth, nineteen hundred and fifteen. The club is laying plans for a larger and better fair to be held during the fall term. The second annual Stock Judging Contest was held February seventh, nineteen hundred and fifteen. One hundred and seventeen students entered the contest. W. B. Adair B. M. Anderson A. C. Apitz J. M.

L Stock 3u6ghtg Oeam The greatest honor that can come to a student in Animal Husbandry at K. S. A. C, and the one for which all real live and ambitious students strive is a place on the stock judging team that represents K. S. A. C. at the American Royal and Int?rnational live stock shows held at Kansas City and at Chicago each year. A place on the team means a reward for efficient work in stock judging during the entire period of four years. It means that the members of the team have ranked high in the class room work and have shown in their judging work unusually good judgment and a practical knowledge of live stock. Teams from ten to fifteen of the leading Agricultural Colleges and Universities of the United States and Canada compete at the International each year. Kansas teams have won their share of the honors in these contests. The team that would have represented K. S. A. C. in 1914 gave unusual promise and it is very regrettabl e that the American Royal and International were both cancelled this year because of the outbreak of the foot and mouth disease. Had these shows been held, the Kansas boys would have won more glory and honor. ' ■ • 1 1 ; - i . i ■ ; . ' ■ ' . ' : ' ■ Ol)£ iDcur? Stock fudging Oeam This is the fourth year that the Kansas State Agricultural College has been repre- sented at the National Dairy Show, held at Chicago, by a dairy stock judging team. The team this year won more honors than any previous team. The members of the team are chosen by Professor O. E. Reed and Assistant Profes- sor J. B. Fetch. The men on this year ' s team were: A. W. Aicher, J. W. Linn, V. F. Stuewe and alternate W. S. Morrow. Previous to the contest at Chicago, the team, ac- companied by Coach J. B. Fitch, visited the Dairy Congress at Waterloo, Iowa, and a number of farms in the dairy district of Wisconsin. This trip was for the purpose of further practice in judging, as well as being very instructive. At the contest at Chicago, the team competed against fifteen other teams represent- ing as many different agricultural colleges. The Kansas team won two silver loving cups, ranking second in judging all breeds and first in judging Ayrshire breed. Aside from this members of the team won individual honors, A. W. Aicher ranking third in judging the Guernsey breed, J. W. Linn, third in Ayrshire breed and V. F. Stuewe, second in Holstein breed and fourth highest individual, among the forty-eight con- testants. V. F. Stuewe received a gold medal for being fourth highest individual. MEMBERS OF DAIRY STOCK JUDGING TEAM A. W. Aicher J. W. Linn W. S. Morrow, Alternate J. B.

This committee attends to the business management and secures the talent for the course. The course for the season 1914-1915 consisted of nine numbers, representing a total cost of two thousand five hundred dollars, which amount was fully covered by the sale of seats. Quantity is always sacrificed for quality in the choice of talent and the best talent of the Lyceum and Musical Bureaus is collected to form Kansas ' strongest Lyceum course. For the past two seasons the committee has added a special attraction in the Woodland Players during the spring term. OFFICERS Ray H. Whitenack Chairman Gertrude Wunder Secretary P. D.

' - i Tp k _ Ol)e School of Agriculture The School of Agriculture is two years old, and this issue of Royal Purple finds the school just beginning to want to speak for itself. To be sure, it hasn ' t a great deal to say as yet, like other new things it must promise for the future rather than point to the past. For a long time the people of the State forgot that many boys and girls could not afford four years of high school work and then four years of College work. We forgot that girls who were to be housekeepers in the modest home could have happier and better families if they were trained to cook well, to sew and plan clothes that were more desirable and more durable, and finally were so artistic in their tastes that they could make even the simple home a beautiful place in which to live. When we awoke to the fact that boys and girls in these walks of life were worth caring for and making into efficient citizens, we began planning the work of the School of Agriculture. We were not to look to past ideals of high school or preparatory work, but were to consider the social and economic needs of the great group of people who can spend only a few years getting ready for their life ' s work. We were to make productive workmen and good citizens of them, and at the same time to fit them to take advantage of every chance for promotion in the future. This the School of Agriculture is trying to do. There are two courses for boys: Agriculture and Mechanic Arts; and a course in Home Economics for girls. In each course the first year ' s work is most largely voca- tional. The cultural and citizenship training increases in amount in the later years of the courses. The s tudents of the School are, in the main, young men and women who could not go directly from the rural or graded schools to high school, but who were out of school for a time and now enter school with an earnestness of purpose, a maturity of thought and an ability to work which is not found in the ordinary type of secondary school. The School is finding its place and reaching its people. It is fitting them economic- ally and socially, and at the same time preparing them to spend their future leisure time most helpfully. There are three literary societies, debating clubs, and athletic teams to which students of the School are eligible and in which they are taking an active part. They unite with the College students in Christian Associations and other student enterprises. Slowly and surely the School of Agriculture is finding its place in the inner life of the great white city on the hill, and just as surely its graduates, the first of whom go out this year, will find their place in the busy productive life of the State of which they are proud and which they hope to serve most acceptably as future citizens.

JANUARY 28, 1915 The 1915 Class Book Committee is surely following almost in the footsteps of the ' 14 bunch only we hear that they have not burned up the Treasurer ' s account book as yet; but perhaps at the next pep meeting when we have a bonfire it will go up in smoke. We can ' t tell just what the outcome will be, but we feel that at least one of the members of the ' 15 bunch w-ill buy a farm with the proceeds. One took a fine trip east and now perhaps the ' 16 gang can get a trip to the Pan-American Exposition. Two colored men were talking and one was heard to say that he hoped that the Irish would not be killed off during the present war, because the colored race would then be the most low down race on earth. We will have to put something in this paper about Mike Ahearn or the people would not read it. In this, the initial appearance of this publication The Spot Light, we think it proper to set forth the principles for which the paper stands. Primarily it stands for closer fellowship among the students of this institution, for a true College spirit in which all will participate — a thing which is conspicuously absent around K. S. A. C. — and for the betterment of all things and the introduction of new ideas, w-hich will increase the welfare of this school. Proceeding on the theory that every knock is a boost, we will not hesitate to use the hammer when we see that something might be bettered by that means. If an organiza- tion is trying to do the things that are best for all the students, then we are for such an organization. But if they try to slip anything over, we will give them a knock that will boost them high enough for everyone to see their crooked methods. Fraternities and Sororities are conspicuous organizations in school, they will come in for their share of criticisms, but only just criticisms will be given, for others make enough unjust criticisms. If you want to take a midnight jov ride please leave town, so we won ' t have to write up the details. (DON ' T GET IN THE SPOT LIGHT.) We are for athletics all the time but that department must produce the goods. Keep your mouth shut about this paper or we will tell you why you are against it. The Spot Light is printed in Kansas City, Mo., they are sent by express to a news dealer, no subscriptions are sold, single copies are 5 cents. President Waters and the Gamma Sigma Delta are enjoying a lively game of checkers in which the Kansas Aggie is the object. The latest returns show that it is Prexy ' s move. Perhaps the greatest word in the English language is Annette. The second greatest is I. The Seven Wonders of the World: Maynard Goudy, Fat Hooker, John Hunger- ford, Willard J. Loomis, Frank Sargent, Walter F. Smith and Wilmer H. Wilson. At least in one instance there is quite an affiliation between the Thela Chi and the Beta Theta Pi. Certain pledges at the Lambda house took suddenly sick the evening before initia- tion. Grape-nuts. Prof. Wirt has broadened his scope in Ag. Engineering. He is now able to tell you all about a steam engine and also about Fewell. I would never marry a girl for her money, but I could never love a girl who is poor. — Al Apitz. Prof. Wirt says there is no excuse for anyone stealing anything worth less than five dollars. SPOTLIGHT VOL. I FEBRUARY 13, 1915 NO. 2 THE AGGIE COMMANDMENTS I. Thou shalt love Kansas State with all thine heart, boost it with all thine breath (to the Ways and Means Committee), and study soils under Throckmorton with all thine understanding. II. Thou shalt not expectorate upon the main walk, nor in the classroom, nor in the main hall; neither shalt thou eject any spittle in any vehicle of transportation (es- pecially jitney cars), for the public health is a pearl of great price and must be protected by Bushnell and Jackley. III. Thou shalt not commit adulterated foods into the hands of thy brother when he is hungry for coal tar coloring is an abomination and benzoate of soda worketh evil to any man ' s belly. All things do in moderation, so says Dean Willard. IV. Thou shalt keep thy vows when thou goest into politics, John Hungerford; likewise hold thy tongue as to promises, Willie Barker, for the Aggie voter has a fearful and wonderful memory and the files of the Collegian shall never perish from off the face of the hill. V. Honor thy father and thy mother, for without them Kansas would still be a barren waste and thou wouldst not have thy Benzine Buggies , Malcom Ave, nor thy herds of mid-winter SHORTHORNS, Prexy Waters, or thy many fields of alfalfa, Prof. Call. VI. Thou shalt swat the Knockers (Z. C. Rechels, L. A. Zimmerman, L. V. Rhine, and C. E. Roach) with a swatter, or in any other manner that shalt prove effective for verily they are a pest to this institution. And may a Student Activity Fee and various other calamities be visited upon them and their followers, aye unto the third and fourth generation of those that follow in their footsteps. VII. Thou shalt not give to thy neighbor strong drink lest thou both be damned (drunk). Say thou rather to him, Go thou to Missouri and get thine own souse in thine own way. In this manner thou wilt fulfill the law and save thine own supply at the same time. VIII. When thou goest into the College Inn thou shalt say to Colson or Harry Wareham, Hast thou nine foot bed sheets, individual towels and private drinking cups? and if he sayeth nay, thou shalt flee from the place, for the wrath shall be upon his head, of the state, and thine own as well if thou goest in and abide with him. It is far better for thee to sleep in the A. H. Barn with the rest of the animals than to abide in a public place that cometh not up to the specifications of the Board of Administration. IX. Thou shalt not listen to the man who peddleth Blue Sky neither shalt thou lend thy influence to any man who seeketh to sell thy neighbor a gold brick (A Royal Purple), for as between the man who dealeth in unregistered securities and the man with a mill stone about his neck, the best bet is on the latter. X. Thou shalt not walk in the path of the Vets, nor in the stall ot the A. H. men, nor sit in the seat of the Profs, for Kansas State is a great school (you betcher life) and within her halls are to be found some of the worst crooks outside of Lansing, some of the best specimens of (SQUIRREL FOOD) that have excaped Osawatomie, and all the Health and Happiness, Peace, Posterity, Pretty Girls and Politics that is coming to you this side of Graduation, a Happy Home and the Promised Land. The following men read the first issue of the Spotlight over the shoulder of a friend: A. C. Berry, Preston Hale, L. A. Mingenback, E. H. Smith. Some people would borrow a tooth brush from their friends if it wasn ' t for the fact that public opinion is against such a practice. When asked if the Lambda Farm was a myth or a reality, some one remarked that after walking out there in the slush one night, they had decided that it was a reality. While Prexy was asleep at the switch the Gamma Sigma Deltas stole a move in that said checker game, and won by a large Plurality. If the Sigma Phi Deltas wish to learn the new dances, it appears that they could find a more suitable place than the Wednesday night dances. You see it is not Dick Wilson ' s fault that there are two Misses Mann in this school. And to make matters worse, Dick could not distinguish their voices, either It was a choice on the part of the phone operator between 613 and 713, and of course she chose the wrong number. Hence one Miss Mann was left waiting at the church, while Dick amused the chaperon at the other house. Not everyone can fall as gracefully, especially in a dance hall, as Jack Husband and Jess Alexander. One of the Spotlight reporters states that it was one of the most clever exhibitions of log rolling ever seen in Aggieville Hall. I first loved fair Eta Beta, and next a dear Phi Kappa Phi, The third on the list was a sweet Alpha Mu, I would keep her forever, thought I, But no — there comes a neat Lambda Theta, with eyes that made life sweet for me, But the light flickered out and I ' m looking about, Will come Theta Chi help me out? (Korsmeier and Shellv.) The nine BIG GUNS of the hill: Don Irwin, Herbert Coith, Glenn C. Allen, Harry H. Coxen, Anson Ford, Frank Freeto, Jay L. Lush, James M. McArthur and Archie L. Marble. My wants are few and simple. I ' d like a private car, a castle on the Hudson, a fifty cent cigar, a wife worth forty million, a rent producing flat, a stylish horse and bug- gy, and a few things like that. (E. H. Smith.) SPOTLIGHT FEBRUARY 27, 1915. NO. 3 The latest fad in gambling is that of flipping coins to see who gets the date, Jane Kingan, Erskine, and Shelley. We understand that there were some signs given and Shelly won two out of three. Care must be taken as there is a law in the State of Kansas against gambling. Everyone should buy a class book published by the class of 1915. There is no better way of advertising the college when you go home, than by taking a volume with you. Show it to your friends for it sure does represent the College in its everyday life and some of the stunts which are pulled off on Sundays. It has been called to our attention that very few people wearing Greek letter pins pass in Physics. Freshmen Beware. Kirt Brewer made a fine run to his second hour class on the holiday February 22. WHAT IS A GOOD SPORT ? What has life in a Chapter House to do with being a sport? Just this — if the steward, the house manager, the treasurer, the officers are good sports, they will do their duty and make good. The good sport pays his room rent, his board bills and dues. The cheap, tin horn variety, lets them slide. That the other boys are feeding him and giving him a home does not worry him. He takes his money and plunges on the outside. He mooches. He never buys his own tobacco, and often shines conspicuous in Tom ' s hat, Tubby ' s tie or Cupid ' s suit. The good sport is never a snob. The cheap sport generally evinces a willingness to do anything but work. He takes but seldom gives. He is a discordant note. He knocks much and boosts little. He is supremely selfish. Some people stand in Main hall because it is cold and there is no other place to go. Others stand there in expectation of seeing a friend. But the large majority stand there because they don ' t know any better, and the significant fact is that the same people are there every day. Most everybody is looking for a clean collar job with a thirty horse-power salarv. (BOB BONNETT.) Doubtless an automobile is a handy thing to have around the farm, but a manure spreader is a good thing, too. (MILNER) Tact is the ability to tell a woman her face powder shows without letting her know that you have noticed it. r . i ■ ' - ■ ■ ' ■ ' . ' i ' ■ iil ' h , [ =S - i - r • POTLIG H T VOL. I MARCH 27, 1915. NO. 5 MORE INFORMATION WANTED! Who is the Pi Kappa Alpha pledge, with the High School class, that queers the boys at the Alpha Mu House? (Much Oblige.) The new sanitarium at 1521 Leavenworth, for those who wish to cut their regular Wednesday night fraternity meeting, is always available. Ask Sig Alph Hunter. Even tho Charley Hunter is engaged and love is blind, he should be more careful about pulling down the curtains at the Lambda House hereafter. Tub Reed of the Vet. department broke the Missouri Valley record last w eek in the broad expectoration event at 22 ft. and 7 inches. Fat Hooker took second with the distance of 21 ft. and 7 inches. We notice that some of the fellows still persist in reading the Spotlight and Col- legian over the other fellow ' s shoulder. The following are reported as having done this with our last issue: Charles Hunter, Stanley Baker, Bob Cushman, Leon Taylor, Lloyd Reudy, Mark Lindsey, Bob Sellars, Harry Vaupel, Horace Chittenden and Fred Layton. The Spotlight has made a horrible mistake for which we will never be able to make compensation We used Chas. H. Zimmerman ' s name when we intended to use L. A. Zimmerman ' s. We feel that we can never justify this horrible, disgraceful mistake, but we hope that Chas. H. will forgive us. There are many clever pens buried in the Spotlight, but it is such putrifying organisms as Windy Smith, Buchanan and Sargent that are causing our rapid decay. For information concerning Yuma Street, inquire of O. W. Beeler. The Sororities at K. S. A. C. have always made friends with the non-sorority girls. It is very much better at this school than at K. U. But along comes a girl from K. U. by the name of HILDA MENSE and writes a paper on Sorority dope and reads it in class. Some of her fellow-classmates may not have thought much about the paper, but we would suggest that she keep such stuff at her little pink Sorority house on Bluemont. FRATERNITY JEWELRY FOR RENT Hilda Mense claims that she can wear an appropriate fraternity pin to every fra- ternity dance given in town. Nichols Gym has been pressed into service as a spoonholder. Earl V. Kesinger and Marjorie Garnett hold a class there every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Fri- day morning during chapel hour. The class is usually dismissed with a kiss. We are of the opinion that Miss Garnett is the teacher; at any rate, both are very proficient in the art of insanitary love making. On the landing of the stairs they sat. He held her hand, she held his hat, They kissed — I saw them do it. He held that kissing was no crime, She held her head up every time, I held my peace and wrote this rhyme, And they thought no one knew it. It takes a boob like Wallace Hutchinson to bawl a man out for wearing a borrowed overcoat, after he himself had borrowed everything from socks to nightshirt. SPOTLIGHT VOL. I APRIL 10, 1915. NO. 6 We should have a Hall of Fame at K. S. A. C. and to start a good thing along we will suggest a few people who should have their pictures in such a hall: Prof. Waters — To give a distinguished shade to the group. Jimmy Linn — For the same reason as above. Ralph Heppe — We would need two headliners at least. Fred Layton — Because of his beauty. W. F. Smith— Popular Boy of 1914-1915. Ruth Hill— Popular Girl of 1914-1915. K. G. Baker— The Cowboy from Texas. Jack Richards — The only living specimen of its kind. James Colt — One of the fixtures of the Hill. Shorty Fowler — He is so two-faced that we could turn either one of his faces to the front. H. H. Haymaker — Just an all around fine fellow. Erk Erskine — Just because he belongs there. Speaking of getting street addresses mixed, you should know how Elbert L. Smith got into the wrong house over on Vattier. He walked into the house, went up stairs, knocked on the door where he supposed W. C. Calvert was rooming, and in place of Calvert ' s voice bidding him enter, there came a feminine voice. Smith, being surprised and shocked at this, ran all the way down stairs and into the street. There is one man in this school who doesn ' t toot his own horn, so we will toot it for him. Charles H. Zimmerman is a Junior Engineer, Sigma Tau, on the Lyceum Commit- tee, takes active part in a literary society and is drum major of the band; besides this, he makes good grades. We just want to use this as an example of what some of the best students do. Will wonders never cease? The average man ' s arm is 36 inches long. The average woman is 36 inches around the waist. CABBAGE LEAVES For good health: Keep your windows open and your mouth shut. Windy Smith, get wise and improve your health. The State fish and game warden is planning to distribute crabs to the streams of Kansas as food for the turtles. The crabs are to be selected from different towns over the state, The Manhattan candidates are Zeno Rechels, L. V. Rhine, P. L. Netterville, and T. E. Pexton. — The Sunday Sun. Someone please give Morgan Binney a jitney, because it has been reported by one of his friends that he is a habitual moocher on the Spotlight. If you have a defense to make, Morgan, please drop us a line. Domestic Science Jordan says, We should Booble. Is this strictly a Domestic Science term or does it have something to do with raising a family? The FIRST ANNUAL HEN SORORITY DANCE will be held on Saturday Afternoon, April 10. Some fine exhibitions of masculine feminority will doubtless be displayed. We understand that there will be no distinction made between gentle- men and poultry, but we trust that proper position will be maintained at all times. (§nv Mtmtit Innk |- ' .

Ask any farmer what he considers the most valuable part of the farm paper that comes to his home weekly, and the chances are ten to one that he will say the letters that come from farmers that suggest new ideas and tell of new ways that have proved profitable on the farm.

For the Benefit of Live Stock Producers in this country in the following manner: Years ago the firm of Clay, Robinson Company recognized the very important bearing which the Agricultural Colleges have upon the live stock industry. They saw that out of these colleges would come the men who would farm, breed and feed scientifically — whose work would be an example to others, and it was with a view of forwarding and furthering the great work of the colleges that our Mr. John Clay guaranteed an annual appropriation of $1,000 in special prizes for cattle, hogs and sheep exhibited at the International Live Stock Exposition each year by the various Agricultural Colleges. This year (1915) brings the total expendi- ture for this purpose up to $15,000.00. Chicago, 111.; Kansas City, Mo.; South Omaha, Neb.; Denver, Col.; Sioux City, la.; East Buffalo, N.
