D. 0111' President was born October 29, 1859. on a farm in Butler county, Pennsylvania. His earlier education was ob- tained in attending the country schools of his county. At the age of nineteen he entered Gl'uve City College where three years were spent in preparatory work. He then entered Westminster College from which he graduated with the class 0f ,86. During his junior year here he won first: place in the intersoeiety debate, whieh honor is the highest attainable at this institution. From the position of village school principal which he held one year. he 'ztpidly ud minced, beeoming superintendent of the sehtmls of his native county, and later. principal of the Fifth Ward Sehuei ot' the eity of Allegheny. During the time of his snperintendency he brought about radical changes in the school system of his county, introducing a graded course of study. He was also prominent at this time in the founding: of the Slippery Rock State Noriiml School. While Principal of the Allegheny Fifth iVard School, he in- troduced a kindergarten and an industrial enm-se of study, of which we knew President Snyder to be nlwuys un enthusie :istie pronmter. In 1891 we find Principal Snyder emupieting a graduate course of study in psychology and philosophy and receiving the degree of Ph. D. from his Alma. Mater. In February. 1896, Dr. Snyder was elected President Of the Michigan Agricultural titollege. At this time the affairs of the college were. in a very unsettled and unsatisfactory state. However. the time was ripe for change, and through the. influence of Dr. Snyder, changes in the policy and course of study leading to :1 more pl-zietiezll illiti much needed reform were adopted by the State, Ronni of Agriculture. Here dates the beginning of 21 phenomenal development of the eeileg'e. Through his undivided em-e and ever tnetfni management. he has been highly instrumental in bringing the eeliege to its present state. Besides being ene m the leadingr eelleges of agriculture in the I'nited States. it has developed an engineering emn'se rivaling the universities, and :i WUIIlzlll'S eeurse. no longer an experiment but :1 prac- timi emn-se in the zipptieutien of seienee tn the htmsehehl. enrollinw students from several surrounding states. Nut only has the eolleg'e developed an attendance to nim-e than twice that at the time of Dr. Snyder's accepting the position. but the equipment has inei-eased and continued to inei'ense to meet the demands of the growing attendance. Among the, recent additions are the tine bacterioiogiml lulmI-zltmw mid the elegant hnthmise while the iimnense un- dertakings 0f the underground heating and lighting system is under emlstl-netion. and the engineering students antivi- pate the early lmildine' 0f :1 hugger mid nml'e fully equipped meehzlniezll lzilmratnry. The mine of President Snyder tn the institution is appar- ent to the State Board who recently, in remgnition of his past sel'viees and the prospect of future usefulness tendered him it substantial inerease of salary.

IL. Pro- fessor Hf Ilnlmly at M. A. 0.. was born at Adrian, Michigan. Mun-h 11. 1832;. His parents originally came from New York and Took up land near Quaker, in Lenawoe county. D12 Beal graduated. from fhe University of Michigan in 1859 and Hum Taught na- tural science for several years at Union Springs. N. Y. He then went 1:0 Harvard and studied un- tim- Gnu; Agassiz, and Vymnn for :1 yvzl 1 and :1 Ilzllf. Ho has sim-e occupied positions as a teacher of science at Hmvlnml School, Union Springs, N. Y., and at Chicago Uni- versity. He came to M. A. C. in 1870 and has held his pres- mlf position for thirtythreo years. having also been profes- sor of lwrtimlture and forestry for many years. He has been :1 IllClllllGl' 0f the faculty of M. A. C. for longer than any I'n'osonr member and is closely connected with the most pros- porous years of the college. Through the valuable and un- 1'iring efforts of himself and his contemporary, fhe 1ate Dr. R. H.

He spent his early years in the town of his birth. attending the public schools of North Andover, and graduating from the city high school in 1881, at the age of six- teen. At this time, he did not have in mind the pur- suit of an engineering pro, fession, but entered a busi Hess house in Boston; where he held a minor position for ovei a year. .Xt this point he began to lay the foundation of his later engineering success. by resuming his studies. and entering upon engineering work. In 1888 he was gradu- ated by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, receiv- ing the degree of bachelor of science in the regular four year course after only three and a half yearst attendance at col- Weil. S. B. lego. and having: niaiutainod 21 high degree of scholarship. After receiving his degree, Mr. Wei! continued in engineer- ing: practice. being employed chiefly us a draftsman and de- signeia thus obtaining thorough grounding in the details of engineering Immivc. 111 1801. however. he resigned n posiv tion with the firm of Henry 1Vorthington in lh-noklyn. New York, to :u-t'ept 2111 ilistl'lu'tul'ship iii the subject 01' mechani- cal engineering: at Lehigh Universitv. He renmined there until 1893. when he resigned to accept his present position at Mi A. C. Professor 1Veil is a member of the Detroit Engineering Society, the Michigan liliigineel'ing Society, and 0f the Amer- ican Society of Mechanical Engineers. Professor Weilts life has been one of steady progress and achievement. His undertakings have met with the success due to his sterling: integrity. thorough grasp of the branches of engineering, and untiring attention to business. Under his management the equipment of the mechanical depart- ment at M. A. C. has been improved and the scope of the course broadened; the department has become well known throughout the state and the country. and has today. scores of Slu'teessf111 graduates in engineering practice scattered all over the land.

Maude Gilchrist Miss Maude Gilchrist is a native of Iowa, being a graduate of the Iowa State Normal School of which her father was president. FOI' further education she went to W'ellesley College but returned to the Iowa State Normal School to act as instructor in science. This position she maintained for three years when she was called to Wellesley to teach botany. During vacation she took special work at Harvard University under Dr. Groodale, and also at the Iowa Agricultural College. In 1896 she went abroad, spending :1 year in Grijttingen University, and upon her re- turn, accepted a position as lady princii pal in the Illinois Womans College at Jacksonville. Her past work has given her wide experience in the manner of teaching, and especially so, Where a large number of young ladies are in attendance, and this has placed her at the head of the woman's department, which position she has proved herself capable to fill.

He was a member of the Senate 0f1.855, when the act establishing the Agricultural College was passed. i Thesuhject of this sketch was edua 03th In the public schools of his native Villageend in 1.883 was graduated from the University of Michigan in the classi 021.1 .cours-e. RFHPEd upon the farm and fa- miliar With all its operations, it was not :trange that Mr. Brown should have gone 4ng COHQIR 1.2101; to the farm, Which he . I Carries nu m absentito. For some ten yEaPs he served as Director of the School Board at Schoolcraft, during which time the school was put upon the University list, where it has ever since re? mained. .In 1898 Mr. Brown was elected to the State Senate to represent the Ninth Sena- torial District, comprising the counties of Kalamazoo and Calhoun. During this session as Chairman of Committee on the Agricultural College and member of the University Committee, he was active in securing a large appropriation for the former and in obtaining a large increase in the permanent appropriation for the latter. His interest has always been largely identified with educational affairs of his locality and the state. His present position dates from June L 1902, when he took up his residence at the College and entered upon the duties of his office. Major William H. Kell. U. S. A. Major W'illiam H. Kell, U. S.

DODGE, Yonk'e WVay Behind the Times, Class of '04 Class Motto: Happy is He Who Leave: no History The class of 04, having developed through the various successive stages of a college course, looks back in its senior maturity over a comparatively uneventful. but estimable career. In the fall of ltltll we first tame to M. A. C. in a some- what unripe condition, but. with investigating minds and right ready to meet and ente' all the phases of freshman life. Those first days were indeed strenuous, when we met in mighty opposition the awful demons 0f '03, who with all their noisy bluff and bluster threatened to make life hideous for the unsophisticated freshmen. But all undaunted we drew up our constitution and took our stand as an organ- ized class. How the old chapel suffered during the excite- ment of those first class meetings, when the warring fiends pressed zit the doors and windows and clambered up the walls! But within, undisturbed by the howling tumult, the men of Wm mndneted their business With perfect order- liness and self-emnposure. The third meeting was adjourned to the Fountain, where we first met in open swap the Furies 0f '09.. The result of this tirst encounter we. hesi- tate t0 ehrmiiele us :In zilisolute vit-tnry, but the two follow- ing were glorious surresses for '04. Then having proved ourselves winners, and with full consciousness of our capa- bilities, we determined that our class should mark 21 great epoch in the history of the college. the close of the reign of barbarism and the advent of civilizatione-the abolition of class scraps at M. A. C. We came forth from the struggle honored and admired, recognized as a class of inherent strength of mind and ster- ling abilities. And when the class 0f ,05, itching for excite merit, and stimulated by old time stories, invited us to scrap, though perhaps hesitating from a desire to prove our physical superiority and ward off all unwarranted conceit on their part, we stood staunchly upon our resolution and refused the challenge. Our presidents for the four years have been Mr. Lanier- eaux. Mr. Millar. Mr. Wloudliury and Mr. W'right. Our J. hop was one Of the finest ever given in the history of M. A. C. XVe have furnished for the college several athletes, among the best, Millar, the record breaker in pole-Vdulting, and Decker, the football hero. In the four years we have lost many of our members, but nevertheless a goodly number of 11s are left to represent M. A. C. and carry the Spirit of old ?M into the successes of after years. l We have in our midst a future Liebig, a Pas- teur, and even :1 Socrates, who are destined to throw with the light of genius a halo of glory :lrmind our Alma Mater. Unr vlziss for the most part has been :1 body of earnest workers, with good motives and confidence in our abilities. It is the sineere wish of the Historian that With genuine courage and faith in the Intinite Power, we may enter the future With a firm tread, be just in our dealings with hu- manity, and draw to ourselves the sure reward of sincerity, triumph and success. HISTORIAN, i04. A Successful Failure It was a perfect J une day and the college year was draw- ing to a close. Tom Southeriand sat in his easy chair with his feet propped high up on his desk. From his half- opened lips rose thick clouds of rich, mellow smoke, which hung tor a moment above his head and then floated lazily out through the open window. His eyes had a far-away look and his almost expressionless face betrayed no sign of emotion, except for a faint smile Which now and then played around his lips as he recalled the various incidents of his four years of college life. First a freshman with his shock of hair and ambling gait, :L gaudy button gracing the lapel of his bright blue coat, his canvas grip stuffed almost to bursting, and his last years trousers exposing above his shoe tops a gorgeous display of crimson stocking. A pitiful sight he made as he stood, hat in hand, before the door of the Presidents private oiiiee, unconscious 0f the spectacle he presented and thinking only of how he could impress that official with a mrrect idea of his own importance. Then the door opened :md he suddenly found his heart in his mouth. He was srzlrttelly able to give his name and address, and then passed lremblingly out with the others and sllink bank to his hoard, ing house alone. Next. a sophomore with his exuberance 0f rlass spirit, a prominent Iignre in the elass rush, and new a frequent guest at the private office which a year ago he had entered with such awful reverence but how sadly dif- ferent the occasion. Then a junior, prominent in society, swaggering in his eoniidenee, free with advice. And last of all a. senior, With his slightly more dignified manner, a library of text-books to show for his four years of college work andewhat else? Tom pushed back from the desk, knocked the ashes from his pipe and looked out of the Window with EL scowl. After all, What had he to show for- his four years of time and, his money? His college life had been a comparatively easy one and he had given but a passing thought to the future. Now his college days were nearly at a close. He had begun to look around for a position and had found to his sorrow that they had been picked up long ago by men nmf'e vigi- lant than himself, or else he had been bluntly told that it is experience and not college degrees for which the industrial world is Willing to pay. Experience he did not have. He had been an average man in his classes, been interested in the various activities of the student body, had seen almost all phases of life and human eha izlcter, and, in general, was a wellrounded and popular man. He had been twice elected nmnager ot' the football team and had once represented his mllege in intercollegiate debate. but of aetnal experience he had none. He had made l'ew real friends :It college and haul earnestly emleuvm'ed during meuliun to keep in touch with the people of his old home. but they had gradually drifted from him. Now and then old pioneers had dropped out and the places Which they had so long held were occu- pied by strangers whose names he did not even know. Even the 01d homestead had been greatly altered during the four years of his absence. Everything seemed to point to his college. life as a failure and a crime. His mind went back to his old associates who were then earning a substantial living as clerks and niiive men and he envied 'them their success. Tom was not :1 coward, yet, he could not help wishing that he had stayed at home on the farm, where at least he would have been contented and SO much would not. have been expected of him. Should he go back now. people would brand him as a failure and point to his college train- ing: as wasted time and money. Yet what else was there, to do? The next day was commencement. Tom took a seat in the hack POW with a heavy heart and heard the minmenvement orator as he deelaimed from the platform: t t t ttNever before in the history of the country has there been such a demand for college-educated men. Every industrial in- stitution has come to recognize the value of college t mining, and 110 young 1112111 mm :itford to deprive himself of the best education he mm Ubiilill. l 1001; into the faces of these yunug men here hvi'ure me and I see there the men who in the future will mnlrol 0111' railroads, direct our hanking i11- stitntions and preside over 01111 governments. Tum South- erland could stand no more. His eyes Iiashed and his fingers itched for 21 grip on the speaker? throat. Suddenly he arose and started direct: for the doorway. His face. was set and his look determined. No one dared to stop him. From the hell he went straight to his room, packed his trunk, and, without even n good-bye to his Alma Mater. took the first train for the farm. That was 20 years ago. Go with me today to a certain county in Central Michigan and I wiil show you a magnifxw cent farm I'QSidOIH'Q. surrounded with fields of waving grain, which bears the name of Thomas Southerland. The owner is glad to see us and we alight. A bountiful dinner awaits us with servants ready to do our every bidding. Our host talks of business, politics, science 01' religion. We visit the barns and see long rows of sleek, wellvbred cattle and horses fit to grace the stables of :L millionaire. Tor ward evening our host drives US, behind :1 pair of splendid horses, to the thriving town three miles nvay. crossing on route the S. S; D. M. interurban railway, of which Mr. Southerland is a. large stockholder and also president and general manager of the company. As we enter the town. we see in the distance, a large, stone building, and as we come nearer we see, richly carved in the archway, FIRST STATE SAVINGS BANK, Southerland 8; Thomas. 111 the evening he takes us to a summer resort which he, maine thins fur the pleasure of his friends, eslwcially us of his vlussnmtes wind 20 years ago considered ourselves more. felt tunhte than he because we secured some clerkship at $800 per 21111111111. If we question him as to how he has been so successful, he will tell us that it is through no great effort of his own, but that it is merely the result of circumstances. But to us the secret is plain. While we were giving our whole attention to technicalities, Tom was unconsciously becoming acquainted with men of all classes. their charac- ters and their wants. He learned that bank presidents and railroad oliicials are human and may he approached, while we sat in our rooms and worried over limits and the ap- proach of variables.

History of the Nearly twentyetive centuries ago, Herodotus. 2m Athenian conceived the idea of making a record of the events and traditions of his time and country; that: the generations of the future might know something of the human activity that had preceded them. Thus he became the Father of History? and opened to the literary minds of the world a 116V avenue for thought and mental endeavor. His follow- ers have been many and varied; some of them have won high renown; and although ttaeeuracyt7 has not always been their watchword, they have given us a wealth of informa- tion regarding former struggles and well-won successes. Thus, in the course of time, it has come to pass that a record is kept, not only of the doings of senates and na- tions, but also of universities and colleges; and to me has fallen the pleasant task of enume lating a few of the events in the life of the class of t05. September, nineteen hundred and one, witnessed the as- sembling of all the material that was to constitute the pres- ent Junior Class. One year before, some fifty entered the college as Suh-treshmen to learn the ways of the institution and qualify themselves for leaders in the organization of the next class; but it was not until the following fall that the four points of the compass sent to M. A. C. the largest aggregation of Freshmen the. college had ever known. At the start our ways divided. Some took the path of hoes and horses, some of blow-pipe and bellows, and still others of ethics and kitchen mechanies. All are said to lead to the happy land of Bachelor of Scieneeisubjeot, 0f Class of 1905 emu-se. t0 the provision that the traveler date not get side? tracked by Bad Luck, Cons, er Police Calls. The first week we all went to Chapel, but soon learned to imitate our instructors and abandoned it useless and ex- pensive habit. During that time a number of us also learned that water is wet and soap was made to chew. A permanent class m-gauization was very seen etfectetl7 and the history of the class as a unit began with Mr. Ander- son, president; Miss Campbell, vieeepresident; Mi . Robin- son, secretary, and Mr. Meek. treasurer. ln vain we tried to persuade the Sophmnores that it was their duty to introduce our Class t0 the pleasures and perils of college life at a kind of outdoor reception, convention- ally known as a ttserapf' lluwever, they had not yet studied logie, could not therefore appreciate our arguments, con- cluded that the ttBurtlen 0f lti'tmt'ii lay on their side, and emuleseentliugly informed us that their fmer tastes rebelled at the social pleasures in Wlllt'll we wished t0 participate. Consequently we were denied the glory of winning a mighty battle. Not content with the quiet nekimwledgnlent of our supremacy. one of 0111- number succeeded in smiling the 'IUWOI' of the museum and planting there 21 pennant of our Mass. One merry night, the next, fall, our Yell sounded elearl and distinct over the quiet air of the campus. Sophomores. weary with eosines and wileulus and names of un-namable hugs. closed their hooks. pulled themselves inside their oldest 109:8. drew their lids fiercely over their eyes, and snllied forth. The enemy were not in sight. Rumor had it that they were near the gate. Thither we bent our course. There, on the field before us. stood arrayed the, warlike hosts of Freshmen. Quickly we wheeled company front. gave one terrific yell, and buckled in! We can hardly say with Caesar tWVe came. we saw. we eonqnered. tor the struggle was long and furious; but like any other class at any other mllege sel'up, we can honestly say We won. Then followed 11mn1e11tons times. One by one the vier torions warriors were summoned before the Chief High Council of the Ruler of the, Nation, supposedly to 1'eeeive the lzlnrel wreaths of honor due them as mighty heroes. But no! It was last roll Hill and muster out!

Finally, on 1 annual is but another proof that we can do what other classes have dared not at- tempt. It is not in the province of the historian to foretell that which is to mine. but if the Past is any index to the Future. the indientions are that the Class of '05 shall always stand. as it ever has stood, ttFirst in war. first in peace. and first in the hearts of its fellows. V. R. GARDNER; Class Historian. No'rE.-The well-known modesty of the Class Historian has pre- vented him from adequately setting forth the achievements of the Juniors in inter-colleglate competition. Miss Elva Davis, a Junior, represented M. A, C. in the Inter-eollegiate Oratorical Contest and among nine contestants won third place In the various college pub- lications. Miss Davis was more complimented than any other con- testant. The winning team in the M. A. C.-Norma1 College Debate was composed of Messrs. A. J Anderson, S. E. Johnson, and V. R. Gardner. Two of these, Messrs. Anderson and Gardner, were t05 men. 1 can hardly express my feeling of personal obligation for the long. patient, intelligent effort which all these young people have been Willing to expend as the price of victory over the Normalites, who, With waving banners and ear-splitting yells; came down upon us two hundred strong to wrest from us the prize. To all the per sons here mentioned the College owes a debt of gratitude They have shown the people of the state that the education which our College bestows not only makes our students in a peculiar degree masters of their own lives, but also gives them broad and solid cul- ture, inspires them With an intelligent and benevolent interest in the world's affairs, and even enables them successfully to compete with the student of the purely literary college in his own particular sphere HOWARD EDWARDS. A Michigan Summer In radiance upon her golden throne The laughing water lilies singing far, Far to the highest twilight star While love is waiting there alone, And o'er hills by unnumbered hills Drip Whispers from enchanting rillg The red retreat of roses rimmed with rain The secret of sweet violets on her brash And streaming tresses o'er lovds eyes, While a, dove coos der its lonely nest.

YA v1.1a Revelations Behold, an host called Juniors among the Collegians, 0f the tribe of Nmnghtflve, mighty in wisdom and learning and exceeding powerful. And it came to pass in the third year of the tribe, that the book of life called Ghickauf was opened, and behold, the names of all of the tribe of Naught- five were found therein. Many there are among them, mighty men of valor, who shall be great in the councils of their land. And there are mighty builders amongst them, and tillers of the soil. And behold, a goodly company of maidens. All these have labored without ceasing among the Col- leg'ians, until their fame has spread abroad, even unto the borders of the. land called Michigan, and yet again in other lands. Many days and nights have they labored that they might seek and know Wisdomriseeking inspiration of the Wise men of their land and of those who have written con- cerning these things. Many mighty battles have they fought against their ene- mies. And it came to pass in one of these, battles that seven- teen were overcome. Then it was that they joined unto themselves all the other tribes of the Collegians and strove With that power whereof we all know, and the fame thereof spread abroad. And it came to pass in their third year among the Col- legians, that they celebrated a great feast, and all the tribe of Naughtfive were gathered together, and many strangers were gathered unto them. And they made merry with feast- COLLEGE HALL ing and dancing and with instruments of many strings, and the fame thereof spread abroad throughout the land. But the fame of all these deeds whereby they are known in many lands shall be increased :111 lmndredfold, so saith the l'rophetess. It shall come to pass, that there shall be called from out their number, mighty warriors; who shall deliver their pino- ple from out the hands of their enemies. Men great in wis- dom and learning; shall be raised up to counsel the people in time of trouble. And many there are that with divers giftsehall prophesy and shall speak in strange tongues. And there shall be mighty builders, who will work sueh works. the like of whieh have never lweu seen among the And many will abide with Others shall go forth sowing and reap- Fer beheld. these have labored in the land of the Uellegians, in the Vineyards thereof, which lie to the eastward and along the river called Cedar. Collegians, nor yet in any land. 1100le and herds. ing that the harvest may be plentiful. Here, too, in the vineyards and beside the River Cedar are the young men and maidens of the tribe wont to meet, that. they may discourse together. For among the Collegians. such is the custom, that on the Sabbath and in the cool of the evening they shall take their pleasure. in the gardens. But in the third. year of the reign of the powerful Queen Gilchrist, it came to pass that there was a law in the land whereby it was not lawful that the handmaidens 0f the queen should walk and talk with the young Collegians only in such places as the heart of the queen delighted in. Here only was it meet that a maiden should wanderialong the mad unto Okemes, from thence through the Vineyards by the River tledar, even unto the bridge thereof, but not any beyond. And again along the walks of the garden even along the River Read to the end thereof. And, it shall come to pass. in their latter days among the tiollegians, that the young men of the tribe will come hither to seek the maidens, When these shall be departed from out the presence of the queen. And behold, in these latter days many Will choose them helpiiieets from among the maidens of their own tribe. Again, it shall be that many will seek wives from among- the other tribes of the Collegians. And so it shall come to pass: that many of the tribe of Naughttive will sojourn t0- gether in the land of strangers, working works acceptable in thy sight, 0h Prexy. SO shall the tribe of Xaughttive be scattered in many lands. but by their fruits shall ye know them. Zen BENTON. Proverbs A bug in one's head is worse than two in some one elsets.

Jack trotted upstairs to his room in the West Ward and looked about for his evening mail. Jenkslii he exclaimed in disappointment. tiShe must have idropped' me.

Tl-a. la, la! In a little grocery store thatis full of prunes? hummed Jack. The mandolin strains of HMy Old Kentucky Home,,, and ttTramping Through Georgia? floated out through the open Window upon the evening air. while Jack made an addition to the notes in his diary. itWonder how the jottings compare? he said to himself. and turning back the pages to the index. he looked up the dates and read: Oct. 2, 1901.

Jerry resumed his mandolin playing as if to ignore the groundless prophecies, and Jack feeling a lull in the parley- ing jumped up and indulged in a shave for the fifth time that week. He brushed his hair with precision, donned :1 smart suit and tdinkyl hat, 211111, opening the door, called back, ttKeep the czinlp-iire burning, brother, till I get back?

Mr. Gib- son. Letls go 11p to the room fellows? he continued, and he led the way. tTll tell you what it is, Bradley, said Ogden, in a sub- dued tone as he closed the door. t'The Western Reserves must have the Spalding Trophy this season. Now wetve spent two years of the hardest kind of work toward getting it, and will capture it this year if we win every game we play. VVetre not so sure of tomorroWs game on account of some of our men being knocked outf If we only hadiW'eli, frankly, if we knew your whole code of signals, wetd have it, and just between the three of us Itll give you an even tfiftyt for them? ttMe Standard Oil blood, eh? said Jack to himself. 'tOh, no! Not IW he said aloud. ttCauit risk my name on such an insignificant proposition as that. 'Dig up V fellows, and you may entertain me? J ack thought heid make a few pretensitms in order to have some sport, but his pretensions grew to realities when Gib- son tthutted in and the combination showed him the ad- vantages of having an extra tttwo hundred? Pshaw! he thought. There was no danger of being ex- posed. They wouldn't use the information until the last halfit No chance of winning the game anyhow, and he might as well profit by it. Just a modern business proposi- tion. At this he agreed to hand over the code at 9 :00 A. M. next day. They bid Jack a cheery gooid-night, expressed their pleas- ure in having met him, and hoped theytd meet him some time when Hbusiness stuntsti werenit the order. In fact they har ttworkew7 him so successfully that as he stepped out Of the hotel. ho had but one ambition that he thought ideal ttsmoothnessft The air was damp and chilly as Jack alighted from the car. He hustled along the walk, but could hear no familiar whistlers. Up in his room the clock had ceased ticking, and there was a sort of weird silence about the place. The lock snapped with a heavy gteluclw as he rolled into bed. For- hours he could not sleep thinking of what had transpired. A reaction was now taking place and a serious- ness such as heid never before experienced was upon him. He tried to humor himself, but impossible. If anyone found it out bed he everlastingly disgraced. he thought. The scores of combinations rolled over and over in his mind. Twenty- four, forty-six, thirteen, seven, and he could see the big full- back knocked prostrate before him. Every play was blocked by the Reserves while they made touchdown after touch- down. What would the big fulI-haek say if he only knew? And Jack continued. to meditate. The next morning he awoke from dreams of a delivery from the situation in which he had allowed himself to fall. mShrewd chap, to hold it over till 10-day.H he mused. But he wondered what would happen when he met Ogden. At eleven otclock Ogden, who himself had intended to profit from the deal, looked in vain for the return of Brad- ley. ttI might have known that, fellow wasxft a true sport? he murmured. ttAnd thereis no way of getting even With him either? He couldn't help but make some bold threats, however, though they failed to materialize. Three hours later, Ogden stood on the athletic held com- menting; with his fellows on the prospects of the game, but, all the while watching for the appearance of a tall. dark- haired fellow. ttHey! Hold on a minute.5y he called as Jack brushed past. and stepping 11p to him he began; ttWhat's the matter? Nerve failed, eh? Cheap sport you are! Yuutd better settle, before we make trouble for you. Gibson saw the thiner cinched. and if you dontt produce the tgoodst theretll be something doingft ttDontt make any fuss about, this, fellows, if you dont want to appear ridiculous, returned Jack with 21 smile. ttItts not necessary to tell you how you were fooled? and he walked off leaving a deeply ehngrined football manager. tTwas not long until the whistle blew. the toss was made, and the, contest was on. The pair of elevens surged to and fro, backward and forward. It was a game for life right, from the start. The end 01' the half was near. N0 tom'he down had yet been made, but the Reserves were steadily :ldt vaneing on their goal. They were now within ten yards and the crowds were in suspense waiting for the next play. Signals! and they collided and grappled. Out in a clear space. Jerry captured the hall and across the field he dashed. The faster he ran, the faster his pursuers followed. The blood 11101111th in his veins and his jaws tightened as he made a final etfort. Across the line he landed, and the one lookers were relieved. The crowds went wild, and the grandstand and side lines were tossing masses of hats and banners. Jack showed his share of exultutiml in the tosses and bounds he nhlde. Sud- denly. he noticed an oddly designed hunner waving above, the rest. He louked t'w :1 inmnent mid remgznized it. She hurl returned nnexlmrtedly. Still more exultauti hetrussed over and administered to the wants of the splendid eleven. The time intermission over, the players lumbered out and renewed the contest. There were 110 such spectacular plays in the second half as occurred in the first half, though the Reserves were steadily getting beaten. The game, was losing interest for Jack on account of the frequeney with whieh the odd hamlet waved. It waved not for him though. It waved conspicuously whenever Jerry appeared in sight in the tussliug hunch. As Jack watched it. he mmniuned with himself. TVas she carried away by enthusiasm? Or was she ignoring him. He knew shetd seen him, but there wasnt a single response. Perhaps hetd know the truth later. The. Reserves had lost the game to their opponents, and Jerry. the hero of the day. rude from the held 011 four strong; shoulders and crossed the bridge amid the rumblings of the dispersing crowd. Jack stayed to settle with Ogden, and what a contest between their meeting now and that of the evening before. Having settled with Ogden, Jack crossed the bridge and hmked at, his watch. He had half an hour to kill before supper and nobody was in sight. XValking up the river bank, he stopped and seated himself on a knoll and made a profuse entry in his diary. KgThere V7 he said to himself. 'tGhanees are, I wouldntt for- get it anyway. but 17d like to knowtt and a red squirrel ran past him. HHefs the best man of the two of us, no doubt.

Iill tell you what though; I never played a fairer lot of fellows than they were. They were fair and gamey from start to finisheall hut Ogden. he seemed too chilly to get around with these fellows. XVhat was wrong with him ?it ttOh. I dontt know? hUrnssed in love, perhaps. any man's spiritsW The conversation ran along rather listlessly, and was con- cerned With the technical points of the game. Finally J eel; and J erry went to their room arranged their toilet and went out to spend the evening at the Club. replied Jack, rather seriously. That. will dampen the ardor of II. Time had ebbed along. and the college year was now neur- ing a close, for ,twas a lovely Sunday afternoon in May. The warm7 balmy air, pulsing as it hung oter the woodlands and. the pastures, was replete with the Odors of the spring time. The sunlight playing through the leaves Checkered the rustic seats beneath the trees along the Cedar. There they sat, beneath the graceful elm, watching the foam flecks as they moved along with the gentle current until last from view. Luella had never looked so fair to Jack. Her dark eyes were a splendid contrast to her light summer costume, and her cheeks looked as tender as the new maple leaflets. The old familiar stm-y was next eueh heart. Jack felt sure; but he thought of the big fuIl-haek. What would he say if he only knew? And Jack's thoughts ran hawk to former days as he glanced away toward the athletic tield. Back at the 01d homestead years before. they were 0ft time's rival suitors for some pretty schoolgirl in the Sable Valley. But then! Things never emne tn crises as they did now. . . . . . . . . . The little stream. with scarcely an audible murmur, still carried the foam Heeks along. 0n the opposite bank the wild flowers were timidly drooping their little heads. The lmttertties danced here and there as they fluttered along, while overhead the bluebird warhled his sweetest song .

The class of 1006 was born in September, 1001, when, as :1 band of eighty ttl'reps. they went through the terri- ble weedingeut process of the preparatory year. and re- turned with but half that number to join the incoming Freshmen in 1902.

After an anxious wait in a long line for the necessary permission to enter college life, and another frantic search for rooms the Class settled down to work. But it was interrupted in the very beginning by the Sophs, '04 in the case of the five- year contingent, W3 in the case of the four-year men. For a month the members of the class were made to suffer the pangs 0f outraged feelings, but then they remlted. 111 1.901, 506 and ?05 united. one night. and scoured the campus in search of the pink and green of 'U4 and made the luckless Sophs whom they caught, take a draught of their own med- icine; administering to them the ttdonche ii In fnuntaine? and testing their knowledge of psalms, tunes and double shuttles. In 1902. the result was a class ttserupit which, re- sulted in a Virtory for ttNaughtyesix mid u cessation of hazing. But at what a cost! About Nov. 1. seventeen men. Sophomores and Freshmen, were expelled because of too much class spirit. A strike ensued in which Freshman and Sophomore were united in a mummn cause. Class caps were ttsprung early in December with am astuteness characteristic of the class, and woe betide the Sophomore who tried to purloin one. Nineteen hundred and three saw ttNaughty-sixi, reduced in quantity, hut superior in quality. The Freshmen were given a cordial and h'tting welcome, the now familiar black and orange jersey put in its appearance to add to the attractive- ness of our beautiful campus, and the WV hop occurred during which the Sophomores supplied many interesting, though anxious moments to the Juniors.

Culture from the Corn-Lot The question of questions that the college student asks himself is, What am I going to be? The surface query is, What am I going to do? But in his heart of hearts he ponders the deeper questions: What may 1 become in real intellectual and moral worth? How large a man, measured by the divine standards, Will it be possible for me to grow into? These are the great questions beeause-growth is the great end of life. That is What we are here for, to grow. T0 de- velop all our talents, all our possibilities, to increase our native powers of body, mind, and soul,ithis is life. It is important that we have a vocation. We must do something. and do it well. But the real end is not in working at a pro- fession but in developing our capacities. Our symmetrical growth is the measure of our success as human beings. As the student looks out over the ocean of life and scans the horizon for signs of the wise course for him to take, he should decide Whether the particular mode of life that now appeals to him will yield the greatest possible measure of growth. He must consult his tastes, his talents, his oppor- tunities, his training. And the test question is, Will this line of work yield me. the growth, the culture, I desire? But What are the elements that yield culture to an indi- vidual? Using culture in a very broad sense as a synonym for growth we may say that the things contributing most to the culture of the average person are his work, his leis- ure, and his service to others. XYe may now try to answer the question we started with. as it presents itself to many a student in the agricultural colleges of our country. Will agriculture as a business, will the farm life and environ- ment, contribute to the growth which I desire for myself? Fan 1 extract culture from the eorn-let? Let us Iii'st see if the work 01' vocation of farming gives vulture. My answer would be thuttthere is hardly an 0e- eupation to be named that requires broader knowledge, more zlemu-ate obser'ation, 01 the exercise of better judgment than does modern farming. The farmer deals with the application of many sciences. He must be an alert business man. He requires executive talent of no mean order. The study of his occupation in its wider phases leads him into direct contact With politi 1:11 economy, social movements and problems of government. The questions confronting him as a farmer relate themselves to the leading realms of human knowledge and experience. I speak, of course, of the pie gressive farmer, who makes the best use of his OppOI-tunie ties. He cannot hope to beemne immensely wealthy, but he can maintain that modest standard of living that usually is the lot of our most useful and vultured people and that ministers, as a rule, most, fully to the ideal family life. The truly modern farmer ' dlanT help growing. There is much hard work on the farm. Yet on the whole there is fully as much leisur! us in most other occupations. There is time to read. and books are today so easily access- ible that living in the country is 110 bar to the bookshelf. Better than time to read is time to think. The farmer has always been a man who pondered things in his heart. He has had a chance to meditate. N0 culture is sound except it has been bought by much thinking; all else is veneer. Farm life. gives in good measure this time to think. But it is in nature that the farmer finds 01' may find his most fertile field for culture. Here he is at home. Here he may revel if he will. Here he may find the sources of 111ind-1iberati0n and 0f soul-emaneipation. He may be the envy of every one Who dwells in the city because he lives so near to nutul'eis heart. Bird and flower, sky and tree. rock and running brook, speak to him a various language. He may read Godis classics, listen to the music of divine harmonies, and roam the picture galleries of the Eternal. So, too, in his dealings with his kind, he lives close to men and women who are, frank, virile, direct, clean, independent. The culture cont ing from such associations is above price. One learns to pierce all Shams, to honor essential manhood, to keep pure the fountains of sympathy. ambition and love. Thus on the farm one may nnd full opportunity for that second means of culture. leisure. Another powerful agency for cultivating the human soul is service. Indeed, service is the dynamic, of life. To be of use is the ambition that best stimulates real growth. Cule ture is the end of life, the spirit of service the motive power. So it is of this I would speak perhaps most fully. not only because it is a vital means of culture but because it is also peculiarly the privilege and duty of the vollege man and the college woman. For let it. be said that if any college student secures a diploma of any degree without having been seized upon by a high ambition to be of some use in the work of helping humanity forward, then have that personis years of study been in vaim and his teaching also vain. The college man comes not to be ministered unto, but to minister. He has been poorly taught if he leaves college with no thought but fm- his material success. He must have had a vision of service, his lips touched with :1 coal from the altar of social usefulness, and his heart, cultivated to respond to the call for any need he eun supply, hllere am I. send nun 1 think it may be safely said that there is no field which otters better chance for leadership 10 the zive'zige college man or woman than does the farm. Take. for instance, pol. itit-s. The majority of our states are agrivultui'al states. The majority of 0111' counties are agricultural counties. The agricultural vote is the determining factor in 21 large prupotu tion of our elections. It follows inevitably that honest, strong farmers With the talent for leadership and the abil- ity to handle themselves in competition with other political leaders have a nmrvelousiy fine Chzim-e for useful service. So is it in educational questions. Nowhere may the citi- zen come into closer ventuct with the edm-utional problems of the day than through service on the rural school board. If he brings to this position trained intelligence, some ac- quaintance with educational questions, and 21 desire to keep in touch with the advancement of the times, he can do for his community a wonderful service. 01- in another tiehl,7that of organization for farmers, constituting a problem of great signitimnee. As yet this class of people, is relatively unorganized, hut the movement is growing and the need of well-tmined leadership is Vital. I cannot speak too stronglV ot' the chance here offered for active. intelligent, masterful men and women in being of use as leaders and etiieials in the grunge and other farmers organizations. So with the church question. One of the reasons for the slow progress of the country church is the conservatism in the pews as well as in the pulpit. The ardent member of the Y. M. C. A. in college may feel that, in the country, there will be no outlet for his ambition to be of religious use to his fellow men. This is a mistake. The work of the. Y. M. C. A. itself in the country districts is just beginning and promises large growth. Wider service in the church, a com- munity federation or union of ditt'erent churches, the work of young peoples societies and 0f the Sunday schoolseall these afford abundant opportunity for the man 01' the woman qualified and willing. There are other lines of usefulness. Although I have stated that on the farm the opportunities for personal cul- ture are great, it must he confessed that these opportunities are not fully utilized by the average farmers family. Here, then, is a very Wide tield, especially for the farmers Wife. For if she is a cultivated college woman, she can, through the woman's club, the grange. the school, the nature study club, the traveling library, and in scores of ways exercise an influence for good on the community that may have far greater results than would come from her efforts if expended in the average city. The farm home, too, has Intent eapaeie ties that are yet to he developed. It ought to he the thitl home and, in many cases, it is. But there are not emmgh of such ideal homes in the country. No college woman with a desire to do her full service in the world ought for an in- stant to despise the chance for service as it exists on the farm. All of these opportunities s0 brietiy suggested might be almost indetinitely enlarged upon, but the mere mention of them emphasizes the call for this service and this leadership. N owhere are leaders more needed than in the country. The country has been robbed of many of its strongest and best. The city, and perhaps the nation, are gainers; but the 0011117 tl'y has suffered. From one point of view the future. of 0111' farming communities depends upon the quality of leadership that we are to find there during the next generation. So we come back to our question, Can the farm be made to yield to the man or woman residing upon it and making a living from it, that measure of growth and all-round devel- opment that the ambitious person wishes to attain? And our answer is, Yes. In its work, its leisure, its field for ser- vice, it may minister to sound culture. If you love the life and work of the farm, do not hesitate to choose that occupa- tion for fear of lweoming narrow or stunted. You can live there the full, free life. You can grew to your full stature there. You can get culture from the eotll-let. KEN um L. BUTTERFIELD. Kingston, H. l. History of the Class of 1907 When the ttFreshmen'l class was asked to contribute a short history of their class for the J unior Annual, they could hardly realize that the School year was drawing to a close, and that the pleasure of being a HWesh1nant7 would soon be a thing of the past. Our Freshmen year has been a pleasant one, and, even while we were taking our lesson in singing and dancing from the Sophomores we can honestly say that it was enjoyed by no one better than ourselves. When we entered as tiSub-Freshnienlt in the fall of 1002, we were not long in organizing and establishing class spirit which has always been a characteristic part of the class. The Freshmen that entered in the fall of 1903 adopted the constitution of the five-year Freshmen and then the elasa proceeded to elect its ulh'eei-s for the ensuing year. From this time 011 the class grew and prospered, till today our class is as strong as any in college. Freshmen athletes have been very 1111111erons this year, and as a result, the class has been very successful in all contests. Although we did not win the class championship in football, we wore the only class that scored on the Sophomores tn the fall of 1902i. 0111i basket ball team won easily from the June im's whu had hitherto been r-nnsit'tererl il'nvinvible. and it' all 01' our players do not mutu- tlu- tirst team. we will surely hold the championship for the next three years. Although no class games of baseball have yet been played our chances at present 1001; exceedingly good. Perhaps the most interesting part: of 0111' Freshmen year has been Shown by 0111' friendly standing with the Sopho- mores. XVith one exception the classes have in no way been in danger of a class rush. Whether it. was because they thought we did not need the freshness taken out Of 11s in this manner, or because they thought we were too much to handle, is more than we can say. The Sophunmres blush with shame when a remark is passed mncerning Freshmen Paps. tVe Freshmen can never forget the night the Sopho- nmres quietly stole into a Freshlnants 11mm, seized a box which They thought contained the '07 caps and then vaused one of their number to jump with the box from a second story window. Later the Snphmnere tonnd that the box con- tained nothing but old shoes, and then be made the remark that, he could not see the joke. Let us hope that When we return in the fall of 1904 as Sophomores, but few will be missing in 0111' elass and that another year may find the t'izlSS rauntinning; in its present prosperity. llewwmu C.

The Class of '08 Four hundred and eleven years after the landing of Pol- nmbus 0n the shore of hezmtiful San Salvador, there journeyed to the promised land in the region of 011011105, a tribe, constituting in its entirety, an army of some three hundred strong and willing spirits. There around the sanctuary of the Ruler then in command of the Red Cedar valley, the multitude gathered impatient and anxious to be numbered among- the mighty host of M. A. 0. One by one were they detailed to the several bands under chiefs Hedrick. Holdsworth and Waterman. and ever after were they known as the Naughtyeeights. After many conelaves and lengthy hnmngues. was there instituted a code of most stringent laws and rules, only to be lost While the doughty custodian Slept. Twice did the valuable parehments disappear. but twice were they re 'ilp- tured with little bloodshed. Thus did the weak and envious enemy strive to become wise in the learning and law of that day. Though. even with the help of these learned doeuments have they proved themselves incapable of any real progress in the art and science, of symbols. After one of these sudden disappenI-anees and conse- quently a strong talk by Class Chief Steadman, a sworn resolution of loyalty and a el'est, in the form of tribe colors el'ed and lu'own-wei'e adopted. It must needs be that after a season of much labor the tribe indulged in reereation. Therefore was there planned and undertaken a sleigh party. in which, hmvever, lloctm- lVaterman nfliciated as undertaker. But the Naughty-eights were destined to attain marvelous success in their 111ml eareer for serial prominence; yes. to triumph. Never het'm'e in the whole history of this mighty land had there oeeurred a Trept5 dance. Therefore did the Naughly-eights arrange and successfully carry out a highly enjoyable and most grandly enthusiastic hop; which, to the deeper humiliation of the former ttSub-prepst, took place in the arena of the lenants Dorm. The punch was good, the music was better. the ratios of feminine beauty to masculine strength was nlumt ten to one. while the sum of the whole was a howling success. Yet not all energy was spent on weaker things. Five men of the red and brown were numbered among the defenders of the Olive. green upon the gridiron. A11 tOS Basket Ball team telsoh played a few games. From among the great number of those athletieally in- clined, was there gathered together a track team of mighty strength. In a eonHiet with the red and gray, their generos- ity. if not their modesty. Inst for them the honor which should have been theirs. While hut nine of the enemy com- pleted the circuit in the relay race, ten of the N aughty-eights did likewise, in but five seeonds more Of time. Thus did the red and brown meet defeat by three counts. Many other things could be written to the credit of the Class of Naughty-eight, but out. Of consideration for those who have gone before. let us close With a mighty cheer For another year. E. J. SHASSBERGER.

The Michigan Agricultural College has as good an equip- ment and environment as any distinctly agricultural college in the United States. It typically represents the agricultu- ral and mechanical college as developed in the north. inde- pendent of a state university. In recent years the agricultu- ral colleges associated With the state universities seem to have been doing a better grade of work, both in teaching and investigation than many of the separate agricultural c01- leg'es. M. A. G. has a great opportunity to demonstrate Whether 01' not a state agricultural college can do as high class of work in teaching and investigation independent of the state university. All success to her. E. D. SANDERSON. '97, Professor of Entomology. Texas Agricultural College. M. A.

J. L. SNYDER. Robert Clark Kedzie A Character Sketch It is the wire privilege of but few people to truly know even one of the worlds great men. There seems to be a law of nature whereby the truly gteat live their- best. moments, their best days, the best part of their lives, aloof from the companionship of their fellow men. Thus it is that so often the world fails to recognize and to appreciate true greatness until the life work of its embodiment is completed. The loss to the world of the influence of personal contact with its great men is iuestimable. But it', at rare intervals, nature works the double miracle of giving: to mankind one of its own number who is not only great. but Who by his daily life and associations, attracts, ennobies, and uplifts those with whom he comes in contact, the world must needs be doubly grateful, for it is twice blessed. In the life of Robert Clark Kedzie the world was thus blessed. Thousands of his fellow men knew him and were infinitely better for their contact with him. It was my great privilege to know him long and well, to be close to him and to his Work, and to enjoy and be enriched by his complete confidence. It is of this great teacher. whose friendship was an incalculahie blessing to every student with whom he came in contact, and whose ianenee entered as 21 lmwm'i'ul. I'ntnmtive t'nrlnr into the rhzlrurter and life of every young man who sat in his t-iassruum or worked in his laboratory, that I present: this brief eharuetei-izatimi. As one of his devoted students in college. I iiiist knew Dr. Kedzie; then as a farmer whose home. I believe. he was glad to occasionally bless by his presence; later, as a n'iember of the governing board of the institution to Whose interests he consecrated his life; still later as a member of the faculty of that institution, where I was brought in daily contact with the man and his work; and finally, as a manufacturer and business man, one of hundreds likewise interested in the commercial world, who derived positive benefit from this man's marvelous judgment of men and things, and who prized beyond expression his never failing friendship and business counsel. Nearly every reader of this brief study is doubtless famil- iar, either through the photograph or by personal acquaint- ance with the subject of this sketch; with the strikingly ex- pressive countenance, the strongly moulded features, the high, broad forehead, the intellectual eye, the firmly cut mouth, the determined jaweall indicative of a born leader of men and a genius among iutellects. His physique and his hearing were likewise significant of power. His very pose bespoke the confidence of leadership, and yet the most crit- ical never detected a trace of self-gloriiication in this man, whose physical and mental Imlke up were both so nearly per- fect. When at his best he made you feel that you were in the presence of greatness and yet :1 greatness that was lovable and approachable. aml no mun wzls ever more i-oliliniionsly :11 his best than he. But you must have known him well to have discovered his richest character genhehis genuine love for- all mankind. ...u.4.... .-AM E- u -r. As a student l well remember my spontaneous admiration rapidly ripening into reverence for this first really great man who had ever given me the feeling that he was drawing me toward him. But it was not until I and a hundred other students were in deep distress and in need of a counselor who could lead us, not only because he was great and wise. but because he loved us and with tears streaming down his cheeks convinced us of that love,-n0t until that time did he reveal to me his inmost, genuine self. In the years which have elapsed since, that time I have often talked with those who were present. of what occurred that day, and without exception they have told me that my experience and its effect upon me was like unto theirs and its effect upon them. In the classroom in the early days he. was stern7 severe, and sometimes it seemed almost unjust. But even as stu- dents we uniformly agreed that it all tended toward a higher grade of- eollege work. In those earlier years he was little disposed to manifest in his daily work these gentler traits which were more freely exhibited in his later life, but yet I find that even those. students who were deprived of personal contact with that more beautiful side of his m ture are to this day unstinting in their expressions of apple eiation ot' the great inftuenee he has had upon their lives. When in after years I have oculsionally urged upon some of these older alumni that there was a fineness to his nature which they had never seen, their satisfaction has often found expression in sueh words as til have always felt that the good old doctor was the embodiment of so much that was noble and great. that there must have been hidden depths of gentleness which he kept from public gaze. In this con. nection 1 cannot forbear relating zlll incident in which in, Kedzie once told me he experienced the happiest moment of his life. A number of years ago as we were drivi 11g together across the country on a cold and stormy day. remembering that. in his earlier years he had possessed a fondness for mu oerasional choice eigar, l oti'eretl him one which i thought would tempt his fancy. He surprised me by saying that he had not smoked for many months, and then growing remi- niscent, he told me of the last days on earth of his invalid wife, who had died a short. time before. More than a year previous to her death, becoming convinced, though no word had ever passed between them 011 the subject, that. owing to her peculiar ailment his smoking must he objectionable to her, he quietly gave, up the habit. Nothing was said about it, however, and Mrs. Kedzie, in the midst of her suEering, failed to take notice that he had made the sacrifice. Nearly a year had elapsed when one morning, the atmosphere seeming unusually oppressive, the patient wife struggling to get her breath, ventured to say: ttDoctor, I have some- times thought that if you eouhl possibly stop smoking. 1 might find the air in the house easier to bi'Jathefi Then he told her he had made the sacritiee almost a year before, Hand, said the good old doctor to me, with tears in his eyes, Hthe answering caress which she gave me, I remember as the happiest moment of my lii'efi And this was the man in the presence of whom, as students, we once trembled. I feel like dwelling on this phase of Dr. Kedzieis character, for it is the one ahout which as students we knew least:7 and about Which so little is generally known. There. was not a child upon the college campus who did not know the doctor, and with childish intuition, these little people not infre- quently knew him better than their parents knew him. He always had a kindly greeting for them, and he never allowed a Christmas 01' a maple sugar season to pass without remem- bering each one in the way which appeals most strongly to childrenis hearts. And if, perchance, amidst the numerous changes that were continually taking place on the college campus, some little tot was overlooked, and the fact after- wards became known to this good man, there was greater sorrow in his heart than in that of the child Who thought himself forgotten. Dr. Kedzie was an indefatigable worker. His mind was ever quick to grasp the practical and his originality always found expression in useful channels. He was 3 , sei- entist whom the manufacturers and business men knew, re- spected, and loved; knew, because he had given to them a wealth of discovery and information; respected, because his suggestions were always practical; loved, because his inter- est in their welfare was genuinely honest. But most of all, he loved agriculture. Ambition after am- bition was satisfied only after some discovery in his labor- atory had helped to smooth the rugged pathway of his farmer friends. His best thought and most careful and la- borious experiments were reserved for agricultural investi- gations. In abstract science many men were his equals, and some his superiors, even in his chosen profession. But in the practical, applied science of agricultural chemistry, that Dart of the science which leads to actual results, no other man of his generation was the equal of Robert Clark Ked- zie. The true secret of his success was in wisely deciding which of the many things that needed doing was most important, and, then in sparing no effort in doing that particular thing well. His work, it is true, covered too wide a range to please the technical specialist, but it was always good. His constituents were so diverse in their requirements, and rep- resented so many lines of work, that none but a truly great man would have attempted to serve them all. But Robert Clark Kedzie laughed at work with the true spirit of the conqueror, and world-wide interests today proclaim his great achievements. The tasks he performed were tremen- dous, yet he was never happier than when in the midst of their enormous demands. But in spite of this he always found time for every duty, and he delighted in the society of congenial friends. Few of the worlds workers prized social life more highly, 0r obeyed its mandates more naturally or more faithfully than he. In this, as in all things else, he was a leader, and the charm of his sparkling conversation was the delight of every drawing room honored by his presence. I His great power lay in doing all things well. He was a scientist with red blood in his veins. He saw, and appre Ciated, and was one with the great working world outside of his laboratory. He was fond of praise after he had satis- fied himself that he deserved it. He enjoyed his reward but Only when it was just. His greatest success was in his dealings with men. He was one of the best judges of mankind, for he was a student 1, it of man. He always knew a thing could be done before hcl attempted it. His discernment 0f the impossible and the, impracticable was equally acute, and he never attempted either. His greatest love, aside from family ties, was the Michigan Agricultural College, her alumni and her students. He carried every alumnus in his great heart, and in i11- fortune as in good fortune, he was a faithful, active friend. His greatest pride was in the success of his old-tiine stu- dents, and his faith in their future has been an abiding in- spiration to them all. His favorite topic of conversation, aside from his chosen profession, was the work of those men whose minds had been trained in his classroom and in his laboratory. His greatest joy was to know that he was held in reverential love by the old boys of the M. A. C. It Will always be a pleasant memory that the thought Which was ever uppermost in his mind found expression in his last words to the alumni. It was 011 the 0C msion 0f the last alumni dinner previous to his death, when, after a Char- aeteristically strong plea for earnest and loyal support for the institution which in so large a measure represented his life work, he again reiterated his sublime faith in these prophetic words: tiThe oaks of the forest may fall but this college will endure forever. It was the delight of his last years that his work had been appreciated; That he was venerated by the generation in which he lived; that his life had been a blessing to his fellow men; that he was leaving the world happier and better than he found it; and that much of What he had accomp- lished would endure t0 the end of time. His monument is indestructible in the hearts of his faithful students, and from generation to generation his memory will be perpetuated through the great works he performed.

DELTA UNION LJTEQARY ECLECTIC OLYMDIC HESDEDIAN FEQONIAN COLUMBIAN THEMIAN SOQOQIAN SIGMA MU BETA ERO-ALPHIAN The Phi Delta Society The Phi Delta Theta Fraternity was established at Miami University in 1848. Application from the M. A. C. for a eharter was made to the General Council in October, 1873, and it was granted in November of the same year. The Chapter was known as the Michigan Beta 0f the Phi Delta Theta Fraternity, the ceremonies taking place under an oak tree near the present site of Prof. Shaw7s residence. The charter members were as follows: Thomas Fryer Rogers, 574; Frank Joseph Annie, '75; Charles VVilli-ain Sheldon, W5, and Grant Marion Sheldon, t76. According to the records, the first regular meeting was held at 5 I'. M., Nov. 3, 1873, with Charles W. Sheldon. President, and Frank J. Annis, Secretary. As the Frater- nity had no place to hold its meetings, Dr. Beal kindly allowed them the use of his lecture room. Meetings were held here until shortly after the completion of XYells Hall, when the State Board granted the fraternity the use of the rooms under the east ward of XVells Hall. Michigan Beta has always been very prosperous, and very careful in the selection of its men. The chapter is sneeess- fully represented. in many walks of life by men who reflect credit on their Alma Mater. In March, 1898, the charter was surrendered, as a feeling prevailed in the General Council and the larger chapters that charters ought to be restricted to classical schools and universities. The members then promptly organized under- the name of the Phi Delta Society, With Homer B. Clark as President, and Adorf B. Krentel as Secretary. The work of building up the new society fell upon a willing corps of workers. As a result of this, good progress has been made, and an active part in literary work has been taken. The extent of this work has been in the nature of a geometrical progression,e each termts work showing a decided improvement over the preceding one. We trust that the alumni of the Phi Delta Society have been as successfully represented in college life, and will be in the world in general as have the members of the Michigan Beta. President R D.

The Union Literary Society The early history of the Union Literary Society is the record of an earnest attempt, made in 4'6, to establish at this college, an organization, by means of Which there could be secured, not only the benefits arising from social inter- course, but also an opportunity for improvement along lit- erary lines. At this time there were in existence at the col- lege several fraternities. but to a number of the leading students these associations did not seem to otter the advant- ages which they desired. This led them to consider the ad- visability of forming a society having systematic literary work as one Of its chief objects. and as a result of serious thought and with great hopes for its success, the Union Literary Society came into existence. The first meeting was held April 8, 1876. XV. G. Latta, 7'7, was President; James Brassington, l76, was Vice Pres- ident. and W'. K. Prudden, 78, was Secretary. At first the meetings were held in the English class room, and here many hours were spent in goodfellowship and prohtahle literary work. The new society luul to encounter the ridicule of the fr:- ternity men, who prophesied its early dissolution. How, ever, the little band of earnest workers kept diligently at work: and instead of failing, the society maintained a steady growth and soon began to exert a vonsidemble iutluenee upon college affairs. An onward impulse was given when rooms were provided in ll'ells Hall. The members lnzide Iriany sacrifu'es to furnish them in n home-like manner and in ,84 the Union Literary Society found itself in a position to entertain its friends suitably. in its own rooms. In 1891 a society building was erected through the efforts of the aetive n'iembers and the generous aid of the alumni mem- bers, who were glad to show. in this way. their loyalty to their old society. From this time the society lnaintuined its high standard and today stands as one of the lending sm-ieties on the grounds. The U. L. S. has always taken a prominent part in all that pertains to elerhted college life and its repre- sentatives have always appeared to gnml advantage. not only in athletic affairs. but also in the tieltls of oratory and debate. Time has shown that the efforts of those few students ill I'll have, met with a large measure of sm-vess and that this has vmne about through :ullwrenre to the principles laid down by the early members. uml :ulini 'nbly expressed in the watelrwnmls of the societyel'nity.

Alexander Scott had heard of wsmping the hives with pieces of wet rag carpet on the theory that if the bees were kept. cool and dark they would think it was night and submit to removal with decility. Little Pinney Mellugh pooh-peohed both of these suggestions. He, ltinney spoke with the weight of notorious experience and he advised Cy to sell his bees 011 the spot. t4Bees are derned likely to leak out of a hive when youte hauling iemfl said Pinney. ttThey leaked out 0i yourn,a remarked Sorenson. ttThey didj, responded Piuney, and luoi-e;e0usiderable more. Pinney swelled out his cheeks and half closed one eye, significantly. There was a moments silence while the problem was re- volved in many minds, nml then Mort Bull said: ttOld Man Oragin ill haul tem for you?

General was a rugged little dog with legs that bowed out like the legs of an antique chair. In his puppyhood he had been a wan- timer on the face of the earth, and before he met his present master he had many diiiieiilties with the hays 0f the Falls, who were accustomed to judge a dog by his personal appear- ance instead of looking for the beauties of his character. But, old 1mm 0 'ugin had taken him to his heart. iiTheyis one thing about the GenilF he used to tell us; iihe ainit particularly good looking, but he's faithful and honest. thy, that, dog would follow me to the mouth of a blazing ezinnun, 01- lo a wolfis lair, 01' or anywhere else?7 General YEIS :1 suhemninded and conscientious little dog with a very moderate, estimate of his own abilities. By dis- position he was conciliatory. This Would have been well enough. and the world would have let him alone as it always does the merely good. but unfortunately he was wholly With- out the sense of humor. Along with :1 philosophical turn of mind, nature had given him a comically ragged exterior 21nd, as T have, said, bowviegs, and a stub tail. He felt these de- ficielu-ies acutely and in company they imised him embar- -ass1neut and self-ceuseiousness which he tried to overcome by an assumed lightness of manner. He. hopped awkwardly about, squirmed at the feet of the stranger, barked his abject apologies and went into pntoxysms of wnggings. Among his friends General was quite :1 different dog. He always trotted faithfuly close to his master's heels, or if his master VHS 0111: with Jenny he would sit up like a deacon 0n the seat beside him. Being Without kin in the world Cragin discussed all his affairs With the, General, who was 21, most appreciative and sympathetic listener. Sometimes he would look up wisely into Craginis face just to show that he perfectly understood the point. in discussion and some- times when his master grew very emphatic he would scratch the seat with his tail. Day or night he followed his master with unerring faithfulness, and in return he received the 01d munis tenderest care and affection. Cragin stopped at Scottis place. leaning against the white gate, and took off his old slouch hatethe one With the rusty brass tasseis that he were when the G. A. R. marched in parade. i iilt's a warm day? he observed With sprightliness, and then hefure the Scotchnmu could answer, he leaned for- ward eagerly: tTm goini to bring- dnwn Gy's bees? he saidittC-y Cornell. 11p to Eureky. He couldn't get nary one of the young 1111s to do it so he had to come to the Old man? On leaving. Cragin borrowed a hame strap from Scott. then he stopped a moment at Fishis to discuss the weather and bees and incidentally he borrowed a spring seat. Then he led his chubby buy mare, Jenny, around to the blacksmith shop to have J ei'i-y tighten up her left fore shoe. On his way back Cragin stopped and borrowed a hit of Charlie Sorenson to ease up Jennys mouth, then he went plodding up the street in the dusk of the late afternoon. ttHad to come to the old man after 311,3; he chuckled. He felt somehow that he was still a man in the world, doing a manis work, that old age after 2111 had left him sei'nething. Before daylight the next morning Cragin was up and out, but he took good care not to start until the town was well :istir. As he drove slowly up the main street, perched high 011 Fishis spring sent, his face was stern with a new though somewhat tremulous dignity. ttGood luck to 30113, shouted Thornton from his door. iiDonit get stung? called the blacksmith. And so he went forth with glory. ttChoop, Jinnyft he called to the mate, and then he began to discuss the haul- ing of bees With the General. The, General wasnit altogether aeeustomed to a spring seat and sometimes when they went into a rut he would pitch forward, open his mouth, and go slipping and clawing across the eushion and finally he grew so uncomfortable that the old man put one arm around him and thus the two friends humped and rattled over The rough roads until at last they came to My tloi-nellls house. Cy himself stood on the porch in his shirt sleeves to weh-onie them. It took almost two hours to load the bees. The hives had been earefully closed on The evening before. when the bees had all gone in, and now they were: lifted one by one and tied into the wagon. Old Man Cragin was almost, as spi-y as a boy; he even whistled a hit, and the General sat not tar await looking on with sober approval. tiYouill have to drive slow and eatefulf shouted Cy as they turned into the road. ' Dont joggle 7ein inorein you ran help, and stop once in a while in the shade. Its pretty hot for bees to he boxed up that way? ttNeedift worryfi was the cheerful response, it 7Tain7t as if you was trusting your property to a b031,, It was hot. The old man took off his blue coat, Generalis tongue dripped, and the mate grew soapy under the crupper straps. thNever seemed to me seeh bald t'oadf7 Cragin observed to the General as the wagon jolted 0n the, stones and strained and swung on the sandy hills. And the bees droned a heavy emphasis behind. All went well until they came to the big; hollow. Here the road pitched 01? down a seemingly endless hill, bolted 7a. over a short corduroy and wound up another hill almost as bad as the first. The old man braced his feet and held hard on the reins. ttStiddy, now, he said, ttwhoa, Jenny, retaileet you've got a tieklish load. NOW, Genll, welve got our work before us, but tainltls if we didnlt know how to do iteh' Then suddenly one of the bees crept. out 701' perhaps there were two or three of themeand being deeply aggrieved at, such handling on a warm afternoon they lighted with pre- cision and force on Jennyls plump hack. Instantly the mare rose up behind, switched her tail. and drove two small huots through the, dashboard. Then she ran. and every time she leaped, and sometimes when she didnit7 a bee stung her. Cragin called aloud for her to stop but she. only ran the faster, hei- hoofs rattling among the loose stones and the dust rising over all in clouds. The democrat wagon leaped from side to side, pitvhed like a schooner .in a gale and the buzzing ot' the bees sounded like a brass band composed wholly 0f trombones. At last they struck the corduroy with a bump. Up flew the front axle and the Lhills snapped; for a moment the wagon eaI'eenedl eralzily on two wheels, and then over it went with a crash in the soft green of the bordering marsh. Of course the hives were not built to stand any such ealant ity and two of them split open like dripping ripe, melons and out poured the bees in a cloud, every one of them hot and angry. Jenny lay on her back with her pudgy legs vaving in the air, the General vas bounding about, and barking, his excitement having quite overcome his natue'al reserve, and the old man, half-dazed and quite speechless, sat unharmed on a tuft of swamp grass. A moment later Jenny was galloping up the hill with a sx'arm of bees urging her frmn behind. After her eame Old Man Cragiiu waving his arms and dodging: In this order the two dashed into the Falls and all the town eame out to see. Here there was much more shouting.r and running but at last the two runaways were captured and led into the shade. For hours the Old man lay groaning: and half unemiseious. He had not been stung: severely but, the shock and exeit'einel'lt had quite overeome him. Toward evening he sat up and this was his mm question: ittherels the Gemini, No one had seen the old manls dog. He had not come in with the proeession and a party that had gone out to rescue the bees could give 110 infomnation about, him. At this the old man's faee fell and he spoke with the inflection 0f hopeless tlespmideney: time Genil is gone and deserted 111e,,7 he said; dhes de- serted me under fire. I didnt think held do it :ll mid the tears of weak old age trickled down his cheeks. For a time, he sat quite silent and then he said: T wouldn't have deserted him Imhoweunder tire. The next moirning there was :1 knoek at the 01d mans door and when it opened in eame Sorenson and Scott and Mort Bull. They trod awlnvm'dly to the font of thehed where the old man lay and fussed with the rims of their hats. itHow are you alliw asked the old man holding; out a band- aged hand. They had never realized that Ci-agin was so very old and thin and small. His eheeriness had belied his age. His 01d army eoat lay over the foot of the hetl; the rusty hat with the tarnished tassels was by it. Sorensml spoke at last: tiWe came up to tell you about your pony.U he said. The old 1112111 turned his head wearily. i'liees are mighty hard on horsesfl continued Scott, es pecially if theyhe stirred up and hot? it'lhitf, put in Mort Bull. hurriedly. ttsheill pull through.

Instead he seemed to be thinking of smnething else; finally he asked anxiously: HAinlt none of you seen the Genemy dog. around any- where. have you? Sorenson shook his head. The old man remained silent f0 1 a moment and then he said: itI thought it was him hai-kin' iii the nighteil His voice broke, and he turned avay from the light. As they were going out they were arrested by Cragin's voice. this time with a touch of anger in it. u'l shalft never forgive 111111. never. I didn't think held g0 and do such a thing. He just run away and left me. 1 shanlt never forgive himf' The next day the 01d 1112111 was able to walk out with his -a11e. We wer: all glad enough to see him again, but the. eheery, kindly important Cragin whom We had known a week before had disappeared. A heavy melancholy had set- tled upon him; his hair looked white- and into his eyes had eome the distant look of the 01d. As he stumped up the. village street, the Old man quite unexpectedly saw his dog waiting on the earner beyond the livery stable. He stopped and peered ahead. intently. Then he drew out his steel-bowed spectacles and put them 011. Yes it was the General. For a moment they stood looking at each other. Then 0111 Man Cragin took off his spectacles and shut them into the case with :1 sharp Click. He shook his head positively, set his lips and, turning about, walked off down the street His shoulders swere squared back much in the manner of parade days , and he stepped as rapile as his rheumatic leg would pe1111it, thumping his hickmy cane 0n the boards. But gTaduully he went more slowly, though still nodding his head and presently he stopped short, as if undecided in mind. Then he shrugged his shoul ders and made as if to start forward again but instead he half turned and looked, back. There was the 61141111111111 skuiking silently behind, not daring; to look up, izlii between legs, the very picture of shmue-faeed distress. Crugin looked at him for a moment; then he said with stern dignity: tiCome here, Gently The General crept nearer, cringing with apology. Here was necessity for sharp discipline. uYou ought to be ashamed 0j yourself? said the old 1112111 sternly, tiAin't 1 always been a, good and loyal friend 05 yours, Genil? Ainit I? Then what do you mean by goini and desertiuj 1110 under fire. and in the face of the enemy? I didnt think you7d do it, Genil!I didnit think it 110110117, and here the 01d 1118TI7S voice, Which had been steadily weak- ening, broke; entirely. He drew out his handkerchief and blew his nose. 1 The General, ca wing not a word, crept nearer, his contrite body groveling 011 the ground. Then of a sudden Gragin saw that one of the Generals eyes was swollen shut and that his, ragged body was covered with blotehes and hunches where the bees had stung him. The Old man dropped instantly to his knees 111111 laid his face 51;. ailist the dog s 1:1gged coat. Then he stroked the tie11e1als 1111111 111111 tender, trmnhling fingers. iiThey got aftel 1011 too didn t 1111-11 0.0111 ii hos 1id; iibui you should a-cmne right home; 1011 1101111111 t 21-11111t 1113' feeiitfs a bit, for I know you done your best.H And thus, talhiim 111111 coddling the dog, t'iimgin rose to his feet. His face 1111s he; 1111iny 111th a flash of his old cheer- iness. iiBut I tell you, Genil, they've spiied your good looks; you cant be :1 Romeo 110 more. Just then Alexander Scott came along The G011 1 s came back Giagin said to him t1'i11111pl11111tlv. Then he continued apologetieally: dHe d a come before this but he's a considerate dog and he was afraid he'd hurt my feeliuos The Gen7l and me has lived together a long time, Alec, 111111 11e 1111011' each other p1ett1 11'e11.Donit we Genil; hey, Gen 1?

On March 12 of that year a few of the most energetic 110n-society men met in a class 1100111 in College Hall and ettected a temporary organization. A committee was appointed to prepare :1 mn- stitution which was subsequently adopted, J. R. Monroe being elected tirst. president and P. J. Lewis first secretary. The objects of the society are well expressed in the pre anlble t0 the first constitution: W'e declare ourselves an association for mutual i111pr0ve111e1'1t in literary, moral and social culture and to enlarge 0111- fund of general intelli- gence; in pursuit of Which objects we desire to establish and promote a friendly interest in each other and to exhibit a due. consideration for the Opinions and feelings of others. The society was fortunate in having some of the strongest men in college among its first 1110111hers and to this can be attributed, to :11 large extent, the uniform prosperity which the society has enjoyed. They were men whose lives have ever been an inspiration to Eeleetics. The name tEclectic Society! was adopted March 16, 1878. The meaning of EcleetiCeltselectedw-Jms been very applic- able to the policy of the society who have always endeavored to select men of worth and. energy. Society The meetings were held in College Hall for some time. but in the year 1878 permission '11s obtained from the State Board to lit up rooms on the fourth floor of Williams Hall. The members with their own hands transformed the dismal apartments to the pleasant rooms which have since been the home of Eelecties. The tales told by old Alumni, of holding: :1 lite 'm-y meeting while seated on piles of lumber, and then putting in an hour or two in fitting up the rooms, well serves to illustrate the earnestness 0f the first members. The rooms were dedicated September 17, 1879, with appropriate cere- monies, in which President T. C. Abbot and Secretary R. C. Baird took part. From its earliest infancy to the present time it has been the aim of the society to drill its members in literary work and pawliamentnry rules without losing sight of the moral and social training which should. be derived from sueh an organization. May the fraternal spirit which has ever char- acterized the stTicsH in the past, continue; and the ever in- ereasing Bmtherhood he even more tii'mly united as the years pass. A. ADELMAN7 W4. The Electric This phmt, though not indigenous to 0111i soil, ranks among the hardiest of our perennials. Once. well established there is small danger of losseto the proprietors. and unlike many of 0111' exotics it thrives well in the 1110st crowded eities. If the plant is located 011 the bank of :1 swift river it will grew very rapidly, sending; its tendril-like branches in all direc- tions. 111 order to have 11 good, thrifty plant, it is neeessmw to keep these branches mi the ground. it is eustonnugy 1'11 most cities to fasten these, branches to poles and train them to follow the streets of the city. This is nmde necessary from the size of the plants. It is true that some attempts have been made to place. the branches underground owing to the effect they have upon shade trees. There appears to he no reason why this method of handling the plant should not he successful if proper attention be given to the work as the htmn-hes mntnin no chiomphyll and so do not really need the sunlight. As to the size of these plants, it Will he found to vary greatly. A healthy, thrify plant should occupy an entire city and :is 11111011 0f the. surrounding country as the pro- prietnrs deem profitable. The plants should never be crowded. In ordinary cities one plant is suitieient. and even in large cities two plants of the same speeies appear to halve detrimental etTectS upon each other. The plants are used largely for ornamental purposes though attempts are IlltltiC daily to make. the plant serve more useful purposes. The parts used in deemmtinns are the. 1111th Which are hnrne at the ends of long slender Light Plant branches. These bulbs make very good ornaments as they are found at various shapes and sizes, and are often variously colored. The predominant color is :1 dull yellowish red, though ocmsionully one is found that is nearly white and very brilliant. Such bulbs are. however. very rare. Great care should be exercised in handling the bulbs as they are easily injured. Although the, plant itself is perfectly hardy, the lniihs are sometimes frosted. Many people prefer these frosted bulbs, claiming that they are, not at all dmnaged by the process. The young hnlhs are generally quite brilliant and 01d bulbs ezin be readily distinguished as they usually appear dull red at night and hhu'k in the day time. XVhen a bulb loses its brilliance it should be removed and new bulbs can he easily nmde to take its place. These disr wtrdeti bulbs have 110 11111:? as the plantsa are never propngated fl'Olll bulbs. The most sneeessfnl way of pruimgnting these plants seems to be. by graft. and this is the vziy they :11'e usually established in 0111- eities. A tine opportunity is given us here at the college, to study the habits of the plant. At present there is no specimen to he found in the botanic garden. This due, prohnbly t0 the size of the plant and t0 the fart that its Seientitic name has not yet been definitely determined. XVhen introdueed into Lansing the proprietors of the plant announced it as Piattus gignntezi splendens. The direetm- 0f the Experiment Station who has nnide a thorough study of the plant has decided that: it should more properly he called Pinttus exorbitans. The Botanic Department, assisted by Prof. NYeii, have mmie :1 somewhat extensive study Of these plants in the different parts of the United States with a View of introducing the plant here at the college. After thorough study it was de- cided that there are two distinct species belonging to sepa- rate genera: Exorbitnns gigantea, as found now at the col- lege, and Edisonia utilis, a more rare kind. Some doubt is cast on the identity of these species from the fuel, that they vary so much under different treatments. It may be found, in time, that there is really only one species: Edisonin, utilis. and that the, other is simply the form the plant, takes when not properly handled. At present the difference. in the. two species consists in the brigl'lten bulbs of E. utilis and in the fact that it requires less expensive plant-food for its main- tenance. The electric light plant has one serious pest: a scule-like insect. known as Populus economical. XVhene 'ei' this pest is found in abundance the plants do not thrive though they may continue to exist indelinitely. For the best results the soil should be rich enough to produce an abundance of that native mushroom growth known as Anlel'icano extra 'agans. No mention of this plant can be found in our standard hotanies. This is due to the, fact that the plant is compara- tiyely new, and it is also very hard to chISsify owing to its lack of foliage. This lack of foliage has led many to class it as a parasitic plant. In the few I have examined I have found a large terminal bud often occupying the plane of :1 bulb. These buds have three, four. 01- six fanvlike leaves 01' blados arranged in :1 whorl although they are not always in motion. This fantastic arrangement is highly esteemed by some of our professors 21s a desk or-nmnent in summer time. As to the cost. of keeping these plants. little can be said as it varies greatly and no rule has yet been devised for com- puting it in advance with any accuracy. Even people with many years experience are compelled to confess their ignor- ance of the size of their next month's bill. 011 this account. it is best to classify this expense along with house rent, fuel. board, etc, as it saves worry and it undoubtedly comes under current expense.

Olympic Society was organized in September of 1885, in room No. 1115 Wells Hall, then occupied by A. L. Marhoff. 187, who did more toward the primary steps of its organiza- tion than any other student. lie. with F. L. Wrigglesworth. the, first president of the society and liverhart 0f '86, O. 0. Wheeler. 387. G. L. Teller. NS. and one or two others were the. charter members and formed the nucleus from which the present Olympic Society has grown. Until the organization of this society, there were but two open literary societies at the eoliege. These were the Eeleetie and the IVnion Liteiary societies. At this time these two were filled to their constitutional limit. which at, best 21C- eonnnodated but a small proportion of the students then in attendance at the college. It had been ten years sinee a soviety was formed and it had now become apparent that another society was needed, as the remainder of the students were denied the privilege and training of a literary soi-ietw. It was for this reason that the Olympic Soriety was organ ized; it was with the, hope that more students 111ight reeeive the benefit and training given by societies of this kind. The early history of this society is a record of hard work and thought which the first members will not readily forget. They, like the others. started with comparatively nothing. but struggled along as best they could holding their meet- ings in class rooms 01' in the rooms of students wherever they found it: most convenient. Their literary work was conducted along.r nlneh the same lines as today but with fewer members. From time to time, more. members were added to its roll until it became as strong and intinential as its sister societies. The men who organized the society were not alone in their struggle for an existenee, for, had it not been for the invaluable aid rendered by President Willits the Olympie Soeiety would not be in existence today. It was he who ehristened the sor'iety and it was through his in tinenee that the pleasant rooms Wllit'h it now oeenpies were seenred. This was in the spring 1887, at. which time 0. ti. 11'11eeler. NT, was eliosen chairman of the building COIHv mittee that was to finish the rooms loeated on the fourth tioor of the south win;r of Williams Hall. The work was l'Olllv pleted in time, for eoninieneelnent of that year: the min- Ineneelnent program and banquet being the, iirst exereises held in the new quarters. The emblem of the society is a Grecian lyre, designed by Mr. Wheeler and adopted by the soriety in Ni. The original as designed by him diiiieretl smnewhat from the present pin. lt eonsisted of a lyre with the reeds omitted and the iarthenon resting.r upon the lower erossihar and had Oi H. engraved upon the upper one. It was also much snmller than the present pin, and had no base. The oratorieal contest held each winter term originated in the Olympic Society. The iirst: contest was held in the fall of 'HS and was won by Mr. David Anderson who repre- sented the soviety. l'erhaps these oratorieal eontests have had as ninth to do with the upbniltling of the literary work of this vollege as any other one influence. The general work of this soeiety has been aiong literary lineS, but in addition to the literary training, our aim has been, and is today, to train all members morally and socially as well. How well this work has been done and the success that has been attained are known by all who are acquainted With college affairs. 1904. L. F. Bird W. F. Carleton J. O. Greenway D. A. Gurney G. U.

This need had been felt for Heme time, but. it was not until near the end of the term that any action was taken. On the sixteenth 0f .MillTll several students met to discuss the matter. After due mn- side'atiou and With the permission of the faculty, :1 mnstt tutiou was drawn up and the Hesperinn Society was nl-gzut ized, April twentieth. Starting With a charter 111e1nbership of eight, the society grew and prospered, until, at the end of the first year there was :1, lllOleCl'Sllip of twentythree. The members took an active interest in society work, and in two years the society representative had proved himself a ttstarft in fact as well :15 in nzuue by winning the college oratorieal contest. For a time there was 110 regular place of 111eeting, and the rooms of 111e111he1's, and rooms in College 111111 were used. Finally the State Board granted the society the use Of the rooms it 110W occupies, 1'11 XVells Hall. These rooms have, from time to time, been decorated and improved. so that the 111embers are now proud of their home. The aim of the society is to develop and train its members along both intelleetual and social lines. The social side, however, is not allowed to interfere with the intellectual. A good knuwledge 0f parliauwntary law is always a desir- able thing, and the study of it is given conside able atten- tion. At present the society is in very good condition, having thirty-three 111e111be1rs, among whom has grown up a fraternal feeling which binds them together and helps them work for the 00111111011 good, and the honor of old Hesperhs.

Its origin was due to the united eEOI-ts and perseverance of two collegea Girls of some thirteen years 2100. The purpose in View was to advance the intellvehml s01 1111, 11nd 111111-111 standing of its 111en1bers, to train mind heart 1. 21nd soul. The first 111eetings 0f the new sm 1et'1; were held at the homes of those 111en1be1's who lived upon the czuupns, :111 of whom were earnest, conscientious workers. An entire after 110011 was at that time devoted to the social and literary work. In a short time the constitution was adopted and signed. Later, the meetings were held in the Union Literary building, and still later in the Hesperian rooms. To these two organizations, who thus fostered the infant society, the Feronians are largely indebted, and 0111' feeling toward them shall ever be one of gratitude. The name Feronian which is derived from the Italian goddess Feronia, was suggested 11v Dr 14111vards.As trans- 1.1ted by the college men of those days, it meant the Wron- jawed Fraternity? The Feronian pin was designed by Mrs. Jessie Beal Baker. It consists of a crescent enclosing the letter F., and is significant of expansion. Four years ago rooms were granted us in the Women's Building. The furnishing of this new home, aided as we have been by the 0'enemus gifts of benevolent friends and membels has been a most plusant task. Sorrow 01111 tends to tinhlen the bonds 111' sisterhood by 11111011 we 211-11 110111111 together. As 1he angel of death has entered 01111 chapter and separated from us some of our most loyal 111011111015, these who remained were drawn closer together, and 0111' fraternal love for each other was increased. As the college years have rolled by. the, society has added to its 1011 many bright and energetic 111el11bers. It has now a large, strong alumni list, a body of 21111111111 that has ac- complished 11111011, and of which we are justly proud. In the past the society has been more than ordinarily successful. The prospects for the future are very bright7 and we shall hope for more in the future than has been accomplished in the past. May the high ideals of our society be so well 111ai11ta1i11ed that it wil1 always be an honor to its 111e111bers, and a credit to our college. GERTRUDE PETERS, 106. OBITUARY. The Whole College was in deep sorrow When the news of the untimely death of Miss RUBIE LIGHT7 reached her College home, on November 9th, 1903. All who knew her were attracted by her hsweet and winning way, and the memory of our college days Will ever be saddened by the thought, that in the midst of 1ife7s work and pleasures, there was suddenly taken from among us one, Who, during her three years of college life, had borne to her many friends that kindness of heart and attractiveness of char- acter, that make a woman loved. And though, as the years roll on. many memories of M. A. C. fade gradually away, still we Will cherish in our hearts, one thought for Ruhie With her kind and sympathetic nature, which found its way into everyoneh life, and makes her memory of the sweetest and best. Technical Science in its Relation to the Home. During the youthful period of human development the knowledge obtained Was through empiricism, the result of casual observation. Every science had its birth in empiri- eism, and this empiricism Will continue to occupy a portion of scientific work as long as there is opportunity to acquire knowledge. It keeps alive the spirit of speculation, yet the number of demonstrated facts has become so great that spec- ulation is kept in the background in the minds of scientists, and is used only as a stimulus to research. The struggle of the sciences for their present position has been long, and, in a sense, hitter, but evolved from the widely separated and imperfect theories of the past, there is in reach of the present seeker after truth, an abundance of classified knowledge. In the home has been the same progression. The home- maker is no longer satisfied With the traditional methods of an empirical nature, but seeks to understand the prnciples involved in her sphere of activity, and to place her duties on a scientific basis. By assuming this attitude7 she relegates tradition, empiricism and superstition t0 the rubbish garret, and endeavors to subject scientiiie laws and facts to her use. She thus makes a higher standard of learning for herself, maguiiies her position to its true proportions, and rules over her province resourceful in thought and action and highly technical in its character. Many educators have seen the necessity of a systematic course of training, which Will prepare women to deal With the household problems brought about by this change in their relation 'to the home, and have, through their intiuence, in- troduced courses of study in the various schools to meet the demand in this work. From many sources knowledge is accumulating and it is of such a character as to be necessary to every woman Who would make her home the laboratory in Which her mental and physical life is developed. She surely should possess a scientific knowledge of the body and those factors Which inHuence it in health and disease. When there is an attempt made to understand the significance of this, there becomes involved many scientific subjects of diverse complexions. It especially designates Physics, Anat- omy, Physiology, Chemistry, Sanitation, Bacteriology and Dietetics. These. therefore, are fundamental to a compre- hensive view of the duties found in the house They are the substance of the art of living. Can anything be further from the truth than to mention this work as a fad '3 Truly, ignorance alone must be responsible for misnomers of this class. If based upon scientific research conducted as thor- oughly and carefully as in problems of other sciences, this will not be a fad but a permanently established educational movement. That a more perfect idea may be obtained concerning science in the home specific treatment of some subjects may lend aid. Home sanitation is vital in its consequences and therefore deserves careful attention from those who may be held responsible. The work carried on by Sanitary Associations, Boards of Health and people in authority has succeeded in arousing the interest of homekeepers respecting the hygienic condition of their homes. It is in the house and by the home- keeper that the work must be done. The man of the house comes and goes and his work is elsewhere. The home is the womaifs domain and When danger threatens she is there to carry the burdens. In one way every woman should be 31 Florence Nightingale. She proved What foes light, pure air and good food are to disease, and s0 opened the eyes of the military authorities to the needs of the army that to-day the death-rate 0f the English army is only one-tenth Of What it then was. In demonstrating this she not only showed the effect of sanitation upon the army but upon the home Where its importance cannot be ove1'.looked Epidemics are no longer, as fo1',1nerly consiiered a punish- ment sent down from heaven. They are indeed a punishment, but, for the sin only of ignorance. Pasteur proved that the feasibility of arresting disease is no longer an ideal. Mililons of people have been saved from death and poor health by the progress of science armed With the knowledge of tuberculosis, the cause Which produces it, its nature, its development, the dissemination of the contagion and the means by Which it may be held in check. The American home is no longer blindly submitting to the onsets of this foe, butis successfully striving to leave no loopholes for an attack, since the home is doubtless responsible for the progress of all contagious dis- eases. Again we find a pertinent illustration in the scientific de- velopment of cooking. This branch is better establishede not because it is more important than sanitationebut because it appeals more forcibly t0 the daily wants of man. The homekeeper realizes the importance of having the proper kind of food well cooked and served. She should also know how food contributes to the body; how the food substances are changed on their journey along the alimentary tract; how they are acted upon by the digestive juices and assimilated by the body. Some conception should be formed of how this food after entering the body is used in constructive work of one kind 01' another, and in What form eventually it is eliminated. Throughout all of these changes it becomes possible to follow and measure the elements entering into the constitution of the food so accurately that any departure from the normal conditions may at once he noted. A harmony exists which to destroy means to create a discord on functional activity 01' to produce disease. In the case of nitrogen it is possible to alter its offices in the body by associating with it varying amounts of other food material. In order to manipulate food substances to produce the different and desired effects upon the body7 the homekeeper should have a technical knowledge of the subjects involved. Without such a knowl- edge she becomes helpless in the control of natural forces and operates only in an empirical manner. She is responsi- ble for many things, and in order to accomplish the desired end she must have the information Which technical science Will give. Further than this it becomes necessary to acquire a broader knowledge of the sciences, such as Chemistry, Physics, Anatomy, Physiology, Bacteriology and Botany than has been implied in the foregoing illustrations. This paper pur- posely omits the discussion of other phases than that of the sciences which we believe to be fundamental to the intelligent and harmonious development of the home. In managing the home, therefore, the home-maker will find much need for thought and study, and Will have no cause to complain of the monotony of it all. She will find no time for the agitation of questions which take her out of the feminine boundaries into the masculine fields of labor. It has been noted in our casual review of this subject that the sciences underlying the home are working their way gradually to that position now occupied by the sciences upon which medicine and agriculture are founded, and7 from our discussion of Sanitation and Cooking it Will be easily seen how technical science effects the home. The civilization of a people may be measured by the condi- tion of its women, for with the advancement of our civiliza- tion has come the emancipation of our women and their eX- altation in the home. The nation depends upon the home. and the home, in turn, depends upon the health and happiness of the people composing it, which cannot be secured unless the home is based upon scientific knowledge. Someone has said: ttScientific housekeeping is neither beneath the attention of the refined, nor beyond the reach of the un- cultured. It is the duty of the rich; it is the salvation of the poor. FLETA PADDOCK. Columbian Literary Society. It has often been said that no surroundings are so condu- cive t0 fraternal spirit as are college surroundings. Whether it is because Of a common interest or to supply a longing for friendship left behind we cannot say, but the fact remains the same; that nowhere is there a greater tendency for con- genial friends to group themselves in fraternal relation than at College. Several times during M. A. CRS history has the number of students become so large as to warrant the formation of a new society. Such was the case in 1892 when, under the leadership of W. M. Fulton and W. J. Cummings, the Columbian Literary Society was organized with 15 charter members. Thanks to these ardent organizers, the founda- tions were laid wide and deep and it soon proved itself a peer among the older societies. During the iirst year, for want of a better place, meetings were held in the English class room in College Hall. The next year rooms were secured and a society home establiehed in Wells Hall. Here the society remained until 1897 when it removed to its present rooms in Williams Hall there to promote the social, intellectual, and moral interests of its members, and bind them together with the tie of friendship and goodwill that naught but death can sever. How well this has been attained can best be j udged by those who know COLUMBIAN SOCIETY w; r . the society and its work. Sufficient to say that its orator has represented the College in intercollegiate contests and that it has been well represented in each of her intercollegiate debates. The Oolumbians are justly joroud of their graduate mem- bers and spare no time nor pains to keep in touch With them and to record their achievments as an inspiration to the undergraduate. 01d members, the latch string is always out and the same good fellowship prevails.

The Themian Literary Society was organized a little over seven years ago by a hand of girls, who saw the need of an- other girlis society, and were willing to make the effort necessary to found one. To Irma Gr. Thompson more than to any one girl is due the Themian Society of today. The first regular meeting of the Society was held in the Y. M. O. A. room Jan. 8, 1898. The charter members were eleven in number. During the remainder of the year meet- ings were held in the chapel. In September7 W8, the society was Oifered the use of the Phi Delta Theta. Fraternity rooms. This offer was accepted and the meetings of the society were held in these rooms until the winter of 1900 when the society was forbidden to hold its meetings there. Shortly after this the society Was given the use Of the State Board rooms in the Agricultural Building. These rooms were occupied by them until the fall Of 1900. At this time they took possession of their present room. The Society then had twenty members, and through the united efforts of the 01d and new members the Themians have their well furnished room of today. Three years ago the Themian Society became a member of the Oratorical Association and this year its representative won first place in the oratorical contest. During the year 1904 the membership of the society has been raised to forty and the Themians new number thirty- two. The constitutional Object of the society is L: To promote the literary and social culture of its members? but the word Themian stands for more than this. We, its members, interpret its meaning as true loyalty to each other, and justice and friendship to all. JEWEL LEE. SOCIETY ROLL. 1904.

It was deemed wise in the autumn of 1902 to organize a new society among the women students. The attendance in this department had so greatly increased that only a small percentage could enter societies. Many of the teachers and students realizing this, the ink portance and necessity of a new society was much discussed. The outcome of this discussion was the organization of the Sororian Literary Society. OFFICERS. President, . . MARY TINGLEY Viee-President, . ANNA ANGELL Secretary, . . CALLA KRENTEL Treasurer, . . .

The first is probably the more unpopular side and is there- fore usually put in the background. The selection of a cer- tain college, the choice of a particular course, the leaving of home and friends, the entrance into a new world of thought and action, and the effect of these things on life itself are really serious subjects and should call forth most careful and earnest consideration. We will assume that M. A. C. is the college of your choice and that you have duly entered upon a deiinite line of study. What are now some of the serious things that confront you? In the first place, the choice of associates is of Vital impor- tance. Bad company cannot fail to affect even the most mature in a harmful way. We become like our surround- ings. Every one you meet leaves a certain impress on your character. You unconsciously assimilate the characteristics of your friends. I know that innocence has no place in man- hood and womanhood, we want Virtue there7 but at the same time it is not Wise to wilfully run into danger. There will be enough of temptation in the every day affairs of life to strengthen character and thus help to make robust men and women. See the best, stick to the best, and you will come out the best. Must we then utterly disregard those Who are not the best? No, but we should exercise the utmost care. It has been said that every man is made up as follows: The man as the world knows him, the man as his best friends know him, the man as he knows himself to be and the man as God knows him. Until we have reached the second form of knowledge it is of very little use to act the part of a mis- sionary. Undue familiarity breeds contempt. Keep on hand a great deal of reserve, keep your eyes open and in due time the young people who have come to college to make a life will naturally seek you out. A college is the place to break bad habits and form good ones. In fact, the formation of right habits of action, thought, work, dress and eating is the object of all education. This means the harmonious development of the spiritual, the men- tal and the physical. It means perfect self-control. What habits are you breaking? What habits are you forming? Habit is at the basis of success. Act, habit, character, destinysyou cannot escape the series. Spiritual habits are often broken at college. No one can afford to neglect the culture of his soul. Darwin was once a lover of music, but he neglected the esthetic to such an extent that in his old age the chord that once vibrated in unison With the highest and best in music, poetry and religion, had become dull, thick and unresponsive. ttNeglect' not the gift that is in youit but cultivate all that is best and highest, all that transforms and ennobles life. While we look after the mental and physical, let us not forget that more important than these two is the spiritual. The training of the intellect gives us increased power to perceive the force and value of moral obligations, but does very little to augment the power to resist evil impulses. Religious experience, public opinion, work, the philosophic idea of suhordinating the lower to the higher, and good ex- ample, are the principal factors in the education of impulses. While it is true that religion is not so much thebasis of mor- als as morals of religion, yet the highest moral development is possible only through the religious nature of man. Some say that skepticism and agnosticism are marked tendencies amongst college students. Be this as it may, it is a well known fact that there is just as much enthusiasm shown for truth today as ever before. There are greater religious opportunities at the colleges today, and more ate brought to an appreciation of them than ever before. There is such a thing as a noble skepticism. One that makes us lay broader foundations, makes us test and prove all things and cleave unto that which is good. Public opinion at a college may sometimes be void of good judgment, especially in governmental affairsemay occasion- ally be too liberal; yet I believe that its chief tendency is for the right. The composite idea of a student body is usually good. The effect of this on the individual is excellent and assists in the control of the impulses. Hard work is a preventive of easy morals. The loafers are the vicious. Work and play are safety-valves. Ath- letics are of value to all, but a necessity to the strong. the Vigorous. Members of a football team do not make night hideous. It is the young men who have too much potential energy and no other way of converting it to kinetic. A mob is the result and impulses control its actions. The philosophic principle is solf-explanatory. The power to substitute future prospects for present pleasures, to choose the higher and reject the lower is essentinl to success in any line. Good example is now the only remaining factor. Coming B under the personality of one greater and more developed in every way than one-self is of great importance. In this way association With upper classmen is a factor in ones educa- tion, and right here also comes the value of societies and clubs. A society has been defined as a college within a college and I believe the definition to be free from exaggera- tion. N0 professor or instructor does his duty Who sees students only in his class-room. Personal contact With the right teacher is of more value than is the subject he teaches. College rules are worth but very little. The mainspring of right conduct and character formation is personal relation- ship. The success of M. A. C. graduates is due more to the Vital contact With one or more professors than to the n umber of facts carried away. When a senior becomes an alumnus he is not a walking encyclopedia. His enlarged View of life, promptness, regularity, order and the ideas some teacher has given him are worth infinitely more than the number of facts it shot through him.H Integrity and courtesy are more im- portant than mere learning. While a student should be ad- vised not to spend too much time in social functions, yet I believe that the friendship of a good woman is the most wholesome corrective of loneliness and of wandering desires. Another serious problem is the making and carrying out of a definite plan of study and recreation. The successful business man has a system. What have you '3 Is your Work carried on in a haphazard way ? If so system, concene tration, a definite program, Will increase your power four- fold and Will insure to you success, While otherwise you will be a failure. Economy of time and concentration of energy are important factors. It has been said that half the time in colleges is wasted because students have no plan of Work and dont know how to apply themselves. Make out a pro- gram and then stick to it. Remember that it fools and tire- meu run to a tire? If every little thing distracts your atten- tion, you will never accomplish anything What are you doing with the margins of your time? An Italian scholar had over his door, HWhoever tarries here must join in my labors.q Time is money. No one should. be mean With it, but no one can afford to throw it away. Great men have always watched the odd moments. In an hour a day, any young man or woman can read thoroughly one good book a month or 36 during the college course. An hour a day has made many an unknown person famous. Read the lives of Cicero, Bacon, Davy, Grote, Stephenson. How do you decorate your room? The pictures on the walls express in Vivid language the innermost thoughts of your soul. Every man who designs a house for himself expresses in that design his own character. It is a material representation of his strength or of his weakness, of his genius or of his mediocrity. A stucleutls room is like its occupant. You cannot separate the two. 111 it may be de- veloped the appreciation of the beautiful or the desire for the impure. This is especially a serious question since M. A. C. students are to a large extent the architects of their own sur- roundings so far as the esthetic character of the rooms is con- cerned. Lastly, what is your ideal? Towards what are you striw ing'? You Will find what you are looking for, you Will get what you prepare for, you Will reap as you sow. Noble ideals transform the whole being. They keep us in the straight paths, they point out the way to the better life. An ideal is a rudder and sooner or later the entire course of life will be determined by it. Persons will address you in the language of your own soul. Round about you there is an atmosphere which calls forth the stories, the suggestions, the actions of your associates. Alexander H. Stephens was very popular at college, yet in hie room there was never told an incident Which could not have been repeated with propriety in the best society. Why was this so? Alexander H. Stephens had an ideal and it had so moulded his life that those that came in contact with him unconsciously spoke only of the good7 the pure, the beautiful. The question of college honesty is largely one of ideals. Rules for conduct- ing examinations are practically worthless. The student who Will steal on examination will blow up a safe When the pressure is great enough. A straw indicates the direction of the wind. Men and women do not fall suddenly but gradu- ally. Little by little the moral fibre is destroyed until at last the whole structure collapses. Never put yourself in a position Where the ancestral four-footed part of your being will have to apologize for your God-given attributes. Never be obliged to cover your tracks with pepper nor your face with a mask. Moral secrets undermine the soul. Be open and above-board. Remember that you have no right to use state funds to educate yourself unless you earn that right from day to day by hard work and by enthusiastic life and make the world better when you enter its activities.

WAITING FOR THE MAIL The Sigma Mu Beta For the last three or four years, attempts have been made to organize a new literary society. These attempts were short lived however, and not until last fall did they bear fruit. At that time about twenty-five promoters of the cause. With Mr. Wermuth as champion, gathered in the Y. M. C. A. rooms and a temporary chairman was elected. - Various committees were appointed and soon a constitution was framed and adopted. This fellowship later became known as the Sigma. Mu Beta Literary Society. It has during its short period of existence grown into a strong organization through the earnest efforts of its members. This zeal is very noticeable among the fellows. All are anxious to see that the society shall rank high and each is doing his part toward that end. The striving to gain recognition has produced marked progress in every depart- ment of the work. The society has already been admitttd to the Inter-Society Oratorical Association. The Y. M. C. A. has kindly allowed us the use of their rooms for our work. On some future day we hope to get rooms of our own. The society pin is being worn by the fol- lowing members of the S. M. B. 190T. H. N. Hornbeck A. B. Rogers G. VV. White G. McMnHen E. A. Seelye E.

Only a signal shown, and a distant voice in the darkness; So, on the ocean of life we pass and speak one another, Only a look and a. voice, then darkness again and a silencef5 So, through the course in our coHege, we meet and pass one another, scarcely realizing the depth of character of those about us, until closer ties of friendship bind one to another. Knowing the importance Of this,.and the need of another society to promote the growth of friendship and the develop; ment of literary and social talents, the Ero Alphian Society was formed. . The girls of this society held various meetings during the winter term of 1904, and were formally organized March 15. The officers chosen by the charter members were, Bertha Hinkson, President; Arvilla Coomer, ViceePresident; Grace Owen, Secretary; Bernice J ackson, Treasurer; Florence Gilbert, Marshal. The room of the Themian Society was very kindly offered us, which we gladly accepted. We chose the name Ero Alphian, which means to us,- Love of the first, the highest, the best. The society started with fourteen members, who feel the necessity of their best efforts being given to put forth the ideals of our name--Ero Alphian. We have no past. We hope much for the future.

This association was founded at Lehigh University, South Bethlehem, Pa., in 1885. The second Chapter was the Alpha of Michigan, founded at the Michigan Agricultural College in 1892. The association has had a slow but steady growth from the beginning and consists at present of the following chapters: Alpha of Pa., Lehigh University, South Eethleham, Pa. Alpha of Mich, Michigan Agricultural College, Agricul- tural College, Mich. Alpha of Indiana. Purdue University, Lafayette, Ind. Alpha of N. J ., Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken, N. J .

Kentucky State College, Lexington, Ky. Alpha of New York, Columbia University, New York Cit '. , rilpha of Missouri. University of Mo., Columbia, Mo. Tau Beta Pi is an honorary society, its Objects being to mark in a htting manner those who have conferred honor upon their Alma Mater by a high grade of scholarship as undergraduates 01' by their subsequent attainments as alumni; and to foster a Spirit of liberal culture in the technicatand scientific schools of America. The association aims to confer a distinction upon those who have done the best work during their collegiate course. It Offers a stimulus to good work and rewards faithfulness and perseverance in study. The membership is made up primarily from the under- graduate students Who have maintained a suitable grade of scholarship in their work and whose character and i ndustry have marked them as men who will put forth their best efforts in the interests of their Alma Mater. Membership depends as far as possiblehowever upon the delinite records of the students? work and not 011 the personal opinions of either the faculty 01' chapter, and though a high standing carries With it eligibility to Tau Beta Pi it does not insure admission regardless of character 01' congeniality, the right of election being vested in the active membership of the chapter. The Alpha of Michigan has had a prosperous existence, although some of the classes have been small. The honor of wearing the badge is held high in the estimation of the students, and the certificate of membership is considered a valuable supplement to the College diploma, since the latter makes no distinction between a good and a very indifferent record. The Chapter has pleasantly located rooms on the third floor of the Mechanical Building. Where meetings are held on alternate Thursday evenings during the school year and papers on technical and scientific subjects are presented by the members. The association is not essentially a social organization, but its policy has ever been to foster a spirit of liberality and good fellowship among its members. Alpha Zeta Fraternity. This fraternity was organized in 1897 by John F. Cun- ningham and C. W. Burkett With the first chapter, Town- send, at the Ohio State University. Since its inception the fraternityhas had a rapid growth and is now well established in a number of the leading states of the Union. There is a chapter at the University of Illinois, one at Cornell, N. Y., one at Durham, N. Hampshire, and others of equal stand- mg. The Kedzie chapter of the Michigan Agricultural College, named in honor of the late Dr. Robert C. Kedzie, was organ- ized Dec. 13, 1902, from the agricultural students of the graduating class of that year. The primary purpose of the organization was a profes- sional fraternity to organize and bind together agricultural students in our several colleges. It has been an effort to dignify agricultural education and stimulate original research in the agricultural sciences. Membership in the fraternity is limited to agricultural stu- dents 0f the two upper classes, a limited number being taken in each year from those standing highest in class records. A. B. ROGERS.

It is With a feeling of satisfaction that the class of 1905 look back upon their Junior Hop. It is the satisfaction of a thing well done, of a plan successfully carried out against all odds. In the past twelve years the Junior Hop at M. A. C. has developed from an informal dance held in the rooms of one of the literary societies to the most formed of all our col- lege functions. Each hop has been a little more formal and elaborate than the preceding, but in their hop held Friday evening, February 19th, 1904, the class of 1905 feels that a success has been attained Which may perhaps be equaled but which can never be excelled. The Sophomore is ever a meddlesome man, and the class of 1900' proved no exception. They spared no pains to bother the Junior and to interfere with his pleasure, but thanks to the efhciency of the iiJunior Guardsii their attempts to interfere proved unsuccessful. Failing to capture our presi- dent they had to content themselves with such petty tricks as hiding the Junioris laundry or cutting the buttons off his clothes. The juniors, however, were equal to the occasion and all appeared at the Womenis Building at 7:30 oiclock as if nothing had happened. Here a reception was held in the parlors, and at eight dclock all proceeded to the dining room, when 134 set down to banquet to i05. The tables were prettily decorated in blue and white. At each place was a bunch of blue violets and white violets were scattered over blue ribbons which ran diagonally across the tables. A delightful banquet was served by twenty-thi'ee freshmen girls, under the supervision of Miss Lyford. Finzelts orchestra, of Detroit, furnished music. which greatly added to the enjoyment of the banquet. Mr. H. S. Hunt, the class president, made an able toast- master and called for responses to the following toasts: it 0111- College Homef Mr. J. P. Haftenkamp; NThe Banquet,y Miss Kate M. Coed; tiThe Pastfa Mr. P. H. Wessele; it The Future? Miss Zoe Benton; iiThe Girisfi Mr. 0.1. Auteri. All the toasts were exceptionally good. All increased the feeling of good-fellowship in ,05 and love for M. A. C. The electric lights went out during the toasts, but the candles which took their places only added to the charm of the occa- sion. ' After the banquet all proceeded to the armory which was decorated as it never had been before. It was painted white for the occasion; an immense blue aml white Michigan flag; covered the entire west wall; blue and white bunting decor- ated the walls and ceiling; the corners were made cosy with screens, palms, divans, and masses of pillows. and the numerals, 1905 in electric lights, were placed over the west door. Here the sophomores showed some originality in the way in which they shut off the steam, but our ever faithful ii J unior Guards ,, soon had the trouble remedied and only a few of the dancers knew how colt ll it might have been? The grand march was led by Mr. Hi S. Hunt and Miss Mabel Mack. The iiSpiraPi and iiBridgell figures were especially pretty. Seldom has such music been heard at M. A. C. as was furnished by Finzelis orchestra. The 'tSleigh Ride Party l7 and tiThe Storm77 were well done and much appreciated. The patrons of the evening were Prof. and Mrs. H. K. Vedder, Prof. and Mrs. U. P. Hedriek, and Prof. and Mrs. C. L. Brewer. There was some excitement in the evening when the h Sophsf, tried to introduce a pig, but it, like all their previous attempts was unsuccessful and they were forced to content themselves with the easier and less hazardous amusement of ii stacki11g77 rooms. The J unior Hop is a never-to-be-forgotten event, and those who attended this one will ever remember it as one of the happiest events of their college life. ABBOT Memories of a Junior. As I sat at twilight listening T0 the murmuring 0f the sea, A little wave came Whispering7 Bringing messages to me, Leaving thoughts of joy, yet sorrow As it boundeth on its way, For ,tis gently Whispering memories Of my good Old college day. My Spirit all awakened As I sat and pondered there, , l I saw no mighty ocean, Just my college bright and fair. The faces all were glowing With ambition, joy and fun, The Cedar still was Howing Ever in its ceaseless run, The flowers still were blooming, And my heart it seemed to glow With the thought of all those memories Of my college long ago. One thought forever clinging That thrilled my very soul, I saw my class, when juniors, And we listed on the roll. How genuine our spirit, How faithful to our stand, With a loyal, dauntless courage, True zmd noble was our band. Ever seeking for just honors, Ever working for a cause, Ever struggling With life,s lesson, Never lingering hrst to pause. And with mind and body weary With the sharp and cutting pain, But we saw our hearts made stronger By the arrows as they came. As the years r011 swiftly onward, Fading in the distant past, When our weary hearts grow weaker, And W0 reach our goal at last, A halo ,round those memories Will be ours, we need not fear, For the brightest star of heaven Shineth on my junior year. Once more my memory brightens As our campus glows so fair, I see the good old armory, And the Junior Hop is there. I see the banquet, toasting, and My classmates, ah! the thrill That sends my heart fast throbbing As I see the dancers Ntile- Then all is fading, fast the night Falls as the ocean roars, My little wave is bounding 01? T0 hearts on other shores, To leave that same sweet message In every land and slime, Where a lonely heart, a junior, Waits to listen for its chime. MAY BUTTERFIELD, ,05. The Story of the White Gloves. The White gloves were laid away in their accustomed apartment in the little russet colored box, which had been their home ever since the lady with the pink cheeks brought them from the store. The house often seemed close and crowded, but now as the gloves settled down for a rest, they were forced to admitthet home was the most comfortable place in the world, even for gloves. They were scarcely settled, however, when they heard a ring at the door and the black gloves, who lived in the next apartment, entered. Now the black gloves were very dear friends of the white gloves and the little russet colored house was soon filled with the most refined bits of glove gossip. The white gloves were very willing to tell of their adventures and the black gloves very willing to listen. Mrs. White, of course, did most of the talking while Mr. White simply nodded his finger tips at the most interesting points in the narrative, as a sign of his approval. :WVe have had the awfullcet time? said Mrs. White. You know we have been out on a hunt for nearly three weeks, and it has been the most intereeting time. We hadnlt the least intimation of what was before us the day W0 left. The very deareet lady in the world took us to a very large red building in Which there were scores and scores of girls. Everybody was hurrying t0 and fro, and all talking about the Junior Hop. Of course we did not know what they meant but we knew we would be safe with the pretty lady. Soon some young men came and each young lady became quiet and just waited until some young man came and walked away with her. We were quietly watching the couples disappearing, when suddenly the door opened and a tall young man with dark hair and blue eyes entered. We felt the pretty ladyh hands tremble as the young man came up. They made some remarks about the pleasant evening and said Something about the Sophomores, but from what they said of them we decided that the Sophomores werenlt nice people to know, so we stopped listening. Soon the pretty lady and the young man followed the crowd upstairs. We were very glad to know that this particular young man was to be ours for the evening, because he handled us so carefully whenever he touched the ledyie hand. We all went into a large room, where we found all the people seated at a long table. Here we stayed at long time. The people ate a while and then our young man got up and talked and all the others laughed; when he sat down someone else got up and talked. This went on for some time and we were getting quite tired when hnally the lights went out and everybody talked about the Sophomores again. A little later we all went out doors and the young man held me a long time. At last we arrived at another large room where there were ever so many people. They all danced, and we grew tired watching them. Once during the evening they brought in one of those awful Sophomores. He looked dreadfully wild and savage. Some one said some- thing about, ttTom, Tom the Piper7s son He stole a pig and away he run? I didnlt like his looks at all and was glad when they finally took him away. Then our young man came and he put us in his pocket and we did not see any more for a long time. I was glad of the rest, but I wondered if the young man would think to keep the pretty ladyls hands warm when she went back to the big red building. It was daylight when we came out of that pocket again. We were in a little room where there were just two men; but one of them was our young man so we werenlt afraid. He put us in a box with a lot of neckties and there we stayed for nearly three weeks. Every day the young man would look at us the longest time, then smooth us out and put us back. One day when he was holding me he said something about thhe hand that were this glove is the hand that rules my worldfl I knew he was thinking of the pretty lady and I almost laughed aloud, but I didIft and he put me back in the box. At last one night he took us out and wrapped us up in a piece of paper, and folded us all up, then unwrapped us and put us in another paper and then in another and another until he got one that just suited him, then he folded us up again and put us in his pocket. Here we stayed at long time and when he again took us out we were in the big red build- ing and he gave us back to the pretty lady. He said he had forgotten us but we knew he hadnlt because he looked at us every day. The pretty lady took us to her room and put us away for the night. This morning she brought us back to the lady with the pink cheeks?l It was time for the black gloves to go, so the conversation ceased and all was quiet in the little russet house.

The association receives its support through the collection of dues, which amount to $1.00 a term, giving in return season tickets to football, basketball and baseball games. The association is a member of the Michigan Intercollegi- ate Athletic Association, consisting of Albion, Alma, Hills- dale, Kalamazoo, M. A. 0., and Olivet. Championships are awarded to the college having the best baseball, football and track teams; besides this banners, cups and medals are awarded Winners at the annual field day, which will be held this year at Albion June 3d and 4th. M. A. C. has made rapid progress in her athletics, and at present is recognized as the leading college in this work. It was not until 1902 that the association possessed an up-to- date athletic field, at which time through subscriptions from the students, together With an appropriation from the State7 the erection of a grand stand was made possible. The bath house, erected in 1903, is thoroughly equipped, and is a valu- able acquirement for the training of our athletes. The future for M. A. C. athletics is bright, and we hope she will remain leader upon the athletic field among the colleges of her class. M. A. C. YELLS. Rah! Rah! Rah! Uzz! Uzz! Uzz! M. A. C.

Starting the season under adverse conditions with but four. old men back and the new material mostly green and unknown, it was by sheer pluck and work under the skilled coaching of Prof. Brewer, that the team reached the place it did. From the beginning the improvement was steady and consistent until the close; by defeating Olivet 45 t0 0 the team stood in a class by itself among the state 001- leges. Every team in the inter-collegiate was met and all went down to defeat except one, who was fortunate enough to secure a tie, but who was in turn defeated by two M. I. A. A. teams which eliminated her from the championship reckoning. Kalamazoo which, by defeating every other intercollegiate team, ranked second, was decisively beaten 11 to 0. The secret of the teanfs success was the very fact that, starting the season Without stars, the games were won by dogged and persistent team work, coupled with a plucky and tgnever Qllit,, defense. The record for all games played was 1'78 to 2:1. The record of M. I. A. A. games, 116 to G, the six unearned hut scored as a result of a, fumble, stands without an equal in the history of the M. I.

Baseball has always taken a prominent place in the athe letics at M. A. C. For the past few years W0 have not been able to root for a Winning team, but nevertheless the team has done creditable work7 and has been well supported by the student body. Our team for 1904 has shown wonderful development due to the efficient coach, Prof. Brewer, and the persistent and earnest work of each player. A part of our scheduled games have been played with exceptional success for our team. We have won the two championship games Which have thus fau- been played, one from Hillsdale by a score of 11 t0 2, and the other from bur long time rivals, Kalamazoo, by a score of 3 to 0. The game with Kalamazoowas an exceptionally fme exhi- bition, the best that has ever been played on our local dia- mond. Our boys put up an errorless game and the pitching by Hyde was a feature of the game. With this start, the outlook for a championship team for 1904 is unusually bright. TEAM FOR 1904. Manager, Geo.

This department of our athletics was not organized squi- ciently before the year 1882 to be of any importance, but in that year the iirst Local Field Day was held, the events being of the same nature as those of the present day. Previous to this time, only small contests had ever taken place, and very little interest had ever been shown. Since that time, track athletics have been very prominent in this College. In May, i88, representatives from Albion, Olivet, Hillsdale and M. A. 0. met at Albion, and formed What is now known as the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association with this object in view: namely, of bringing these colleges to- gether once each year to partake in athletic contests. Since then other colleges have been admitted, until now, the M. I. A. A. is composed of Albion, Olivet, Hillsdale, Kalamazoo, Alma- and M. A. C. On May 31, June 1 and .2 0f t88, the first M. I. A. A. annual field meet was held at M. A. 0.; the best athlete being Burnett of this College. M. A. O. has always won a large portion of these and other meets, and since the year ,96, with such athletes as Russel, Schultz and Moon, and good trainers and coaches like Beutner, Bemis and Close she has won every M. I. A. A. and Local Field meet, out doors and in. In her Wrestling teams Which Coach Close has trained s0 ardently for the last three years, M. A. C. has something to be proud of. For, during these three years at the M. I. A. A. and Local meets we have, won the majority of the medals given for wrestling. Last year With all new men on the squad, Close coached a team Which won three Ersts and two seconds in the M. I. A. A. meet at Albion. t This year we have very efHCient coaches in Brewer and Close and prospects are exceedingly bright. If it is a win- ning team, it will win by hard straightforward work, Which has always characterized the track athletics of Mi A. C. II. T. Ross, i04. WRESTLERS. 1904. Fred CloseHCoach.

Mechanical Warming. C. A. Goodenough. Something like a half-eentury ago Lord Kelvin first suggested the possibility of mechanical warming and pointed out its advantages from a purely thermodynamic point of view. Kelvinls proposed warming machine is simply a reversed heat motor, that is, a heat motor operated in a reversed cycle. When run in this way the machine acts as a sort of heat pump; it takes heat from a body of low temperature and delivers this heat With an additional amount, the equivalent of the work of the motor to a body Of higher temperature. The compression refrigeration machine is in reality a. warming machine as well, when Viewed in another aspect .4; FIG. 1 The general arrangement of a. reversed heat motor is shown in Fig. 1. The compressor cylinder at draws in the working iiuid from the coils d and on the compression stroke drives it through the valve 6 and into the coils e. The compression raises the temperature of the fluid. The coils e are surrounded by some agent for absorbing heat, usually water. If the iiuid in e is a vapor, the withdrawal of heat results in a. condensation of the vapor. The liquid then flows to the valve f, trickles through a small opening, and passing into a space of lower pressure is immediately vaporized in the coil d. The evaporation in coils tl causes the withdrawal of heat from the space 11, While by the condensation in coils 9 heat is given up to the space m. If the fluid used is a perfect gas, the expansion valve f is replaced by an expansion cylinder in which the gas expands and does work. A mechanical warming system includes, therefore, the following features: 1. A source of power; 2 A reversed heat motor With a proper medium; 3. A vehicle to carry the heat to the warmed space -ahalogous to the brine in a refrigerating system. Assuming coal to be the ultimate source of energy, a warming system for a building would be arranged and operated as follows: The reversed motor would be driven directly by a. steam engine, fed with steam from the boilers The fluid of the warming machine would impart heat to the interme- diate medium, probably water, and this in its heated condition would be circulated through radiators in the ordinary manner. l If the system were used for heating from a. central station it would be necessary to include an electric generator and motor. At the sta- tion would be located the boilers, engines and generators ; at the build- ing, the motors, warming machines, tanks, etc. Under existing conditions it seems likely that direct heating as exem- pliiied in our ordinary steam and hot-Water heating systems is, all things considered, more economical than any mechanical system that can be devised. Present conditions, however, may change. The worldls supply of coal, though vast, is not unlimited, and fuel is likely to become more and more expensive. The time may come when a large initial expenditure for machinery Will be justified if a. consider- able saving of fuel is thereby eifected. It is worthy of note that mechanical warming is possible without the consumption of any fuel whatever. The power required to drive the warming machines may be obtained from Waterfalls, 01' eventually perhaps from ocean waves. The mechanical system of warming may perhaps become an impor- tant factor in the problem of heating from central stations. It is recognized that in cities central station heating has distinct advan- tages over the usual system of separately heating individual buildings. The chief ditiiculty encountered is the transmission of the heating medium. Steam or hot water must he carried long distances through large underground mains, making the transmission wasteful and ex- pensive. With the mechanical system the problem of transmission is greatly simplified. We have merely a transmission of power and that is easily effected by means of electric currents. In this connection it may be suggested that the warming machine by slight modifications may be made a cooling machine. Referring to Fig. 1, it is clear that if valves b and c are reversed, the circulation of the iiuid will be reversed and the space 717. instead of being warmed will be cooled. The possibilities suggested in the preceding paragraphs are a. suf- ficient excuse for an investigation of this problem of mechanical warming In such an investigation the following are some of the points demanding attention :e 1. The theory of the direct and reversed cycles. 2. The ideal efficiency of mechanical warming under various condi tions. 3. The media that may be employed in warming machines. 4. The actual cycles and their eflicieneies. These topics will be taken up in the order given, In any heat motor a, certain quality of heat is taken from a source of heat, or hot body, and is delivered to the motor. Not all of this heat can be used. A relatively small fraction is transformed into work and the remainder is rejected to a condenser 01' refrigerator. In Fig. 2 D 010 the rectangular area ABFE may be taken to represent the 7 heat absorbed from the source, 2, N .l- 1,,- aren CDEF that rejected t0 the D ti t h 4 condenser, and area ABCD the -. L heat transformed into work. The height EA represents the w Ky absolute temperature of the fluid entering the motor from the source, and height ED that Z P Q F of the iiuid rejected t0 the cone HQ, 2 denser. It is convenient to imagine the state of the hilid represented by the position of a point so that a change of state is represented by the motion of the point. Thus motion from A to B indicates the absorp- tion of the heat ABFE at the constant temperature EA, BC indicates the drop in temperature as the fiuid expands in the motor, CD indi- cates the rejection of the heat CDEF t0 the condenser, and iinally DA represents the rise in temperature as the liuid is compressed in the motor to its original state A. The four operations constitute a. closed cycle. Students of thermodynamics will readily recognize in the rec- tangular figure ABCD the ideal Carnot cycle on the temperature- eutropy plane. When the describing point moves as shown by the arrows, that is in a. clockwise sense, the cycle is direct. The heat imparted by the source is in excess of that rejected t0 the condenser, and the difference appears as'mechanical work. The medium, Which acts as a vehicle to convey the heat into and out of the motor, does work on the motor parts. Now it is entirely possible to reverse all the processes of the cycle, in which case the moving point Will traverse the cycle in the counter clockwise sense. Thus starting at D, the heat DCFE is absorbed from the colder body, the working iiuid is compressed from C to B, the heat BAEF is rejected t0 the hot body from B to A, and from A to D the fluid expands in the motor. In this case the motor does work on the fluid indicated by the area ABCD. A reversed cycle LMNP With different temperature limits is shown in Fig. 2 tbi. When a motor is operated in the direct cycle the object in view is to obtain work from the heat in the source When, on the other hand, the motor is operated in the reversed cycle either of two things may be accomplished. Heat may be removed from some particular body, in which case the reversed motor acts as a refrigerating machine, -or heat may be thrown into a body, in which case we have a warming machine. Thus consider the cycle LMNP. The heat represented by area. LPQR is taken from one body tn, Fig. ii at the absolute tempera.- ture QP and the large quantity of heat MNQR is thrown into a. second body ml, Fig. 1i at the higher temperature QN. Now if the object of the machine is the removal of the heat PLRQ, While the addition of the heat MNQR to the second body is merely incidental, the devise is a refrigerating machine; but if the heat MNQR is the main object while the abstraction of the heat PLRQ is incidental, the arrangement is a warming machine. Evidently it is quite possible to make the machine fulhll both functions, 1'. e., it can cool one space and simultaneously heat another. The area ABFE, Fig. 2, represents the heat placed at our disposal. Usually this heat is stored up in steam, and it includes only the heat in the steam, not the total heat of combustion. The eiTiciency of a. heating system may be defined as the ratio of the heat actually deliv- ered to the warmed space in some chosen interval of time to the heat that would be delivered in the same time if the steam generated in the boilers were used directly for warming. With the aid of the areas shown in Fig. 2, the ideal efficiencies for various cases can readily be deduced. Case 1. Let this heat be used at once for warming. There is practi- cally no loss; the eiiective heating is represented by the area ABFE, and the efficiency is therefore area. ABFE erea ABFE : Case 2 Let the heat be used in a. heat motor, Which drives a genera- ator, and suppose the current produced to be employed in heating a resistance. Neglecting all losses, the area ABCD represents the heat transformed into work in the motor and likewise the heat produced as the equivalent of the electric energy transformed. Hence, the effici- ency of this arrangement as a heating device is ' area. ABCD area ABFE Case 3. Let the heat be used in a heat motor, and let this motor drive a reversed motor The area, ABCD represents the heat trans- formed into work in the direct motor and the equal area LMNP repre- sents the heat equivalent of the work done by the reversed motor on the medium used by it. Area PLRQ represents the heat drawn from some source, say the atmosphere, and area MNQR represents the heat discharged into the space to be warmed. Evidently the eficiency in this case is area MNQR area ABFE Case 4. Same conditions as in case 3 except that the exhaust steam instead of being wasted is used for heating. The effective heating is BOTANICAL LABORATORY. therefore represented by area MNQR + area CDEF, and the efficiency is area. MNQR + area.

In Fig. 2, let T1, T2, T3, and Ti denote respectively the absolute temperatures represented by the heights EA, ED, QN, and QP.

Let T 2 8000 tcorresponding to a. steam pressure of 1201bs. per sq. inj, T 2 680a, T 2 5600, T 2 4600. It is as sumed that heat is absorbed from the atmosphere at a. temperature of O0 F. and is delivered at a, temperature of 1000 F. 2 5600 lbs. 800-680 . 560 ,- e228T:.15,and1 2 W206 Forcasel n21 H tt 2 n2e2.15 0 u 3 n2ei2.84 H 4 1121+ea-U21.69 If the temperature of the atmosphere is 300 E, T 2 490,, i 2 560 m 2.05 respectively. While the conditions assumed are purely ideal, and the calculated results for cases 3 and 4 cannot be realized in practice, still important conclusions may be drawn. 1. Heating under the conditions of case 2 is extremely inefficient, and such a system should not be adopted except under unusual condi- tions, as for example, the heating of trolley cars. In practice not more than 11 per cent of the original heat in the steam is utilized for warm- ing. 2. Under the conditions of case 3, the ideal efficiency approaches more or less closely to unity, that is, a large part of the heat furnished is utilized. The inherent inefficiency of the direct cycle is partly or wholly neutralized by the ttadvantagel, 0f the reversed cycle. Evi- 2 8, and for cases 3 and 4 the values of n become 1'20 and dently a system might be operated under these conditions With fair results, and might possess distinct advantages over direct heating. This is especially true where water power is plentiful and cheap. 3 Heating under the conditions of case 4 must, in any event, be more efficient than direct heating; for from equations 2 and 7, 2' must always be greater than I, and consequently e 0-D must be a. positive quantity. By using the heat motor and warming machine it is theor- etically possible to add from 40 to 100 per cent to the heat distributed to the warmed space. Or in other words, a given space may be warmed with an expenditure of from 50 to 70 per cent of the fuel that would be required in direct heating. This system could readily be installed in large buildings and might also be arranged for heating from central stations. In the latter case: the exhaust steam would be used for heat- ing buildings near the station and the reversed motors for buildings at a distance. Electric transmission would of course be used. 4. It is evident that the efficiency of the mechanical systems of heat- ing depends in a, large measure on the value of the iiadvantugeii 0f the reversed cycle. A large value for 12 indicates high efficiency, and vice versa. From equation 2 it is evident that i is made large by mak- ing the temperature range T3eT4 as small as possible. Now the maxi- mum value of T4 is fixed by the temperature of the reservoir from which heat is drawn, viz., the atmosphere, and is beyond our control. The temperature T8 at which the heat is distributed to the warmed space is, howerver, subject to control within certain limits. The mini- mum value of T3 is, of course, the temperature of the air in the build- ing, which may be taken as 5300 OanJ. The medium carrying the heat must of course have a higher temperature in order that there may be a 110W from the medium to the air. In direct steam heating the temperature in the radiators is something over 2120 F., and in hot water heating it is usually 1600 or 1800 F.; thus T8 varies from, say, 6203 to 720a. The large drop from 720V to 5309 permits the use of rela- tively small radiating surface, and for this reason is an advantage. But if mechanical warming is employed, this high value of T3 means a low value for the advantage 1' and a corresponding sacrifice of effi- ciency. For the best results it is evident that the drop from the radia- ting surface to the air of the building must be reduced materially. Ini- stead of a drop of 1000 to 2006, we must be content with perhaps 200 or 30D and increase the radiating surface accordingly. Possibly if mechanical warming is ever introduced commercially, some improved form of building construction Will be adopted, such that a part of the wall of a room can be used as radiating surface. This point may be made clearer by a hydraulic analogy. Suppose a reservoir is to be iilled With Water from a source at a lower level. The water is pumped from the source into an elevated tank and from the tank hows through a main to the reservoir. The greater the elevation of the tank, the greater the head producing the flow through the main, and to produce a given how per hour we may use a high elevation and small main or a. lower elevation and a larger main. But to make the work of pumping a minimum, the elevation of the tank should be only sufficient to cause a how towards the reservoir. Likewise, in 01k del' that the Work of pumping the heat of the atmosphere into the building shall be a minimum, the temperature level of the medium in the radiators should be j ust sufficient to cause a how of heat from the medium to the air in the room. 5. Evidently the advantage 1' is greater as the absolute temperature T.1 of the source of heat is higher. Thus as the atmospheric temperature rises, less heat is required for warming and this smaller amount of heat is supplied With a smaller expenditure of Work per unit of heat. All calculations must of course be based on the lowest atmospheric temperature that is likely to occur. But it is well to note that at low temperatures the warming machine makes its poorest showing. The ideal rectangular cycles shown in Fig. 2 are never reached in practice. The actual direct cycle must lie wholly within the rectan- gular cycle ABCD, the actual reversed cycle lies wholly without the cycle LMNP. The form of the actual reversed cycle will depend largely upon the medium used in the reversed motor. The iiuid suitable for a warming machine must have certain proper ties. If a vapor, it must be volatile at low temperature, and its pres- sure at 00 or e105 F. should exceed that of the atmosphere. 0n the other hand, at the desired upper temperature 1000 to 1600 F. the pres- sure should not be so high as to render the construction of cylinders and fittings difficult. Evidently the latent heat should be high The From the general equation of a perfect gas p V : MRT, We have for medium acts simply as a carrier of heat, and it should carry as much the volume of the air in the state represented by point L, as possible per unit of weight. Instead of a vapor a perfect gas, as air, may be used. Air has the MRT . r L advantage of cheapness, has no odor, and has no 111 effect on attend, V : p ants in case of leakage. The great objection to airand all perfect gases 1 lies in the small amount of heat carried per unit of weight and the con It can be shown that for a cycle of this form sequent bulk of the compressing machinery.

But the reduction of W is accompanied by an increase of V, that is. an increase in the cylinder volume necessary. It may he noted that the volume required per 1000 B. T. U. is in the vicinity of 50 cu. ft. for a drop of 805. The two vapors that have at all suitable properties for a warming machine medium are ammonia and sulphur dioxide. With ammonia the upper temperature is limited to about 1000 F., for above that point the pressure is too high for safety. Lack of space forbids an analysis of the vapor cycle. The following data. may, however, be given: ARMORY AND BATH HOUSE. For ammonia: With temperature limits of 0a and 1000 the advantage is about 4. the cylinder volume required per 1000 B. T. U. is 16 cu. ft., and the upper pressure is 215 lb. per sq. in. For sulphur dioxide: Under the same conditions the volume of SO9 is about 3 times that Of ammonia, While the pressure is about .4 that of 1 ammonia.

And saddened by a fruitless quest, His head drooped low upon his breast, While about him shadows drew. He ,Woke To find the light grown dim; He looked upon a castle grim And palaces, With spires all slim; In lands all strange and new. But While he gazed at this strange sight The misty shadowsh fading light Had deepened into darkest night. Then he looked for shelter near. At last he found a hermit old, And cheered by a gift of gold, Many strange tales, the knight he told, About the castle drear. There children, wrathful parents sent, Their youthful fancies to repent, And many plans they did invent. But alas! they planned in vain. For from the Windows, maidens glance To Where the sunbeams seem to dance Upon each knighths firc-flashing lance. And shyness only feign. Though guarded well with constant care These knights and maidens do and dare And never efforts do they spare Every desire to obtain. Although exiled a. length of years Unto the land of hopes and fears. They waste no time in idle tears, But strive their way to gain. And oftl at some unearthly hour, When shades of darkness seem to glower About the mouldered castle tower, tSleep should soothe both man and beastfl From out the palace Windows drear. And often wakening others near, The sounds of mirth and right good cheer Proclaim a midnight feast. Tn days gone by, a maiden fair Descended by the iron stair To meet a knight awaiting there. They had planned it all before. The youth came from the pine tree hedge, And when beneath the window ledge, Solenmly they gave their pledge. She climbed the stair once more. Along the bank of Winding stream, Where rippling waves With sunlight gleam, There always comes Some strange, sweet dream That bids all hearts be light. A voice is borne upon the breeze, Scattering wide the falling leaves That flutter from the mirrored trees, Commanding sorrowls flight. The time of exile soon is oler And fleeting days they all deplore, For well they know therelll come no more Such days of joy and sorrow. 1n coming days may there be yet N o backward glances of regret, But bygone days never forget In the yet unseen tt Tomorrow? e ZOE WIMPLE. .HW n. ..

Hm I NIT If fit 94, 3 1,; u e ,, '- MAIN The Farmers Club was organized under the auspices of the State Association of Farmers Clubs in the fall of 1899. The flrst regular meeting was held on Dec. 6. ttThe object of the Club is to inculcate a broad intelligent ambition among the students, that more beueHcial results in Agriculture and Horticulture may be secured together with a working knowledge of the organization and management of Farmers Clubs? The active charter members numbered about thirty; there are 110W about twenty-fwe workers. The formation of the Horticulture club has slightly decreased the number of members Regular meetings were to be held every other Wednesday evening, alternating with the Natural History Society. During the past term the interest shown by the short-course men has made weekly meetings desirable. The attendance has been good this winter, but the interest shown in the club on the whole has not fulfilled the hopes of those who organ- ized it. Programs consist chieiiy of talks given by Professors and Instructors 01' papers by students. These are followed by discussions. Subjects chosen are mostly along agricultural lines. 0. I. BRUNGER. Officers for present term are: President, C. I. Brunger; Vice President, L. T. Clark; Recording Secretary, G. A. Shaffer; Corresponding Secre- tary, R. D. Maltby; Treasurer, G. S. MoMullen. aHf WA A A The tt Hort? Club as it is familiarly known, is the result of a movement set 011 foot by the seniors during the fall of 1901. There was a good deal of opposition displayed by the head of other departments who were fostering clubs of a like nature, but on Nov. 5 the first meeting was called and an organization perfected. The first officers were P1'es., T. G. Phillips; Vice-Pres., S. B. Hartman; See, 0. L. Ayers; Program Committee, W. K. Wonders and L. D. Rudolph. Meetings, at first, were held every alternate Wednesday evening, but they were soon so well attended and so much interest was shown that they came to be held every Wednes- day evening. The programs at the club have a1ways been of a practical nature. Matters concerning fruit growing and floriculture, Which are being discussed throughout the country, are also -. r ' 1. '. I'.

Old graduates who have gone into the raising of fruit and howers on their own account are frequently asked to give their experiences. Juniors and seniors here give reports on experiments they are performing. Prof. Hedrick and Mr. Gunson are frequently called upon to give accounts of horticultural meetings and market reports. And at the conclusion of the program different kinds of fruit are shown, name and distinguishing features given, and then sampled by the audience. The officers for the spring term are: 'D. B.

The. shades of evening gently fell On tree, and Vine and snag, And up and down the lonesome dell The silent bats played tag. Across the glade, amid the sedge, The stream ran swiftly by, Hastening to reach the forestk edge Whose trees shut out the sky. On either hand the shadowy wood Lay Silent 110W and dim, Save When There broke the solitude The Veeryts evening hymn. From side to side across the stream Lay stretched a slender tree, Forming a bridge Which forest folk Might traverse easily. And now appeared at either end, Ready to cross the trunk, A pompous, portly porcupine;- A prosy, placid skunk. ttWhat dost thou here? the hedgehog cried, tngocking my private path? tsThe wolf himself had turned aside Ere he had risked my wrath? LTis hard to think What useless trash Thy striped noddle fills, 'If idiotic, foolish, rash Enough to dare my quills? 'WVhy, I have strength enough to roll . Thy puny body liar, Or twist thee to a barberhs pole, Thou saucy, striped ratf; HNOW hold thy hreath the skunk replied, hAnd let me have a word. To wrinkle thus thy prickly hide Is really quite absurd? ttMost of thy points are plain enough, As thou thyself art plain. Thine outside envelope is rough, Thy language gives me paing': EKM ttYet 1111111 51101111131 never fail to note A point or two of mine in that same striped overcoat Thnu callst :1 barberjs sign? 1tCm11dst thou but read. there lies thy doom 111 lines of black 211111 white; Fo- ut 1113' helm I wear :1 plume Like every 711li1111t knight. ttAnd by that token 111111 might know, Had he but 00111111011 sense. That in the fare of any fee That were :1 strong defense. 1'1 give you notice once for 1111, Beware that snowy S1111! 01111 sudden gust, one heavy s111u111. And t1101111t recall my taleW Midway 1111011 the 11:11-1-0w 0211; The two stood nose to nose. And With each word Mephitis spuke The hedgehogs anger rose. Slowly he drove his spiny crown Against the 1111190111151 face, And he, compelled to yield 01' drown. Reluctantly gave place. Baeluvard he moved with steady feet, His face. still toward the foe; IGH'ecting thus a wise retreat, While warding 011' the blow. But as his enemy passed by, Giving him scanty 1100111, He partly closed 0111: glittering eye And vaved his mocking 111111110. Then turning toward the open way Across the, brimming brook, He shrugged his shoulders saueily H'ith just one baekx '111-11 11111112 And Erethizon turned again. XVith Victory's 11011013 hushed, And throwing 13111111011 t0 the winds After the skunk he rushed. .' greeting may have failed t0 tell The joy that filled my breast.

What happened then, no one may tell, But one may surely guess: There came a muflled howl, a yell Of agonized distress. The air grew close, the atmosphere Was charged with choking death. And all the forest far and near Made haste to hold its breath. And Erethizon, smitten now As by the lightningls hash. VVithdI'ew to bathe his fevered brow In one terrific splash. Then from the bank, with mock dismay, Mephitis waved his plume Tu Erelhizou borne away Into the gathering gloom. lth, poor, misguided porcupine, HOW couldst thou be so dense!

Ye Modern Fable of Ye Ancient Agricultural College In the time Of certain Demoe 't1ts, when Political Quiet held the land, lived certain Progressive People in this State. And these Progressive People cogitating long and Collect ively evolved the firmly tixed Idea of 1111 Agricultural Col- lege to teach their Sons the use of their Hands in connection with a Hoe. And the State Legislature. being largely ?oei-ced. adopted the idea with Enthusiasm and gave a Sandy Knoll 0n :1 eTeek bank for its location, besides approl'miating 2: dollars f0' :1 tlatalugue. And sundn'v Students came to the College, 11nd, being so poor they 1-1111111 Not get, away, 11nd, perforce to stay and work, Building Buildings, and grubhing stumps. And more students 1111119. 11nd more stumps were grubbed. and more bricks were made with straw. And 2111 was Well. But the students became 50 111211131 that all could not grub st1111111s. so They said, ttWe must find something to Amuse 0111' students, sinee the stumps are 11111 out antl the ditches are dug; 211111 the building's built. And this was their Undoing. F011 the Devil entered unto :1 Progressive Person and tempted Hinl, saying. ttMake It eo-edu tationalfi And forth with, straight way the Progressive Persons raised a great hue and cry, saying. gtLet us send 0111- llaughters 10 This 0111- noble Agricultural College, to be ed11- eated into Sensible Wives for 0111- ymmg men. And they did. And they set a Motherly Lady to he Mistress over Their daughters. 1.11111 she, having been :1 Wife and knowing the qualifications of a good One. sought to bring the Girls and Boys together, and let them get acquainted, and Used to One another.

And the Co-eds grew yet 3'01111ger and llonielier and they Seul-ried to class in Bundles ousting terrified glances at the Boys. And They had to gel :1 license to receive Letters from Home. And Things progressed like. wise in the Masculine school. And They said, ttLet 11s agree to Disagree, lest this sehnul becomes too popular, and its graduates have but one 0113:11- ldea upon important questions. And they did. And each department withdrew from the Other and Hated it, and Reviled its teachings. and things were Mixed. until the only Wise student was He who Withdrew afar 011' 11nd Gazed at the Vista 0f the W'mnents building.
