Historian Literary Editor. PREFACE O FELLOW students, to Faculty and Friends, and to alumni of the Michigan Agricultural College the Class of 1908 gives greeting. Especially to former students and t0 alumni who are helping to celebrate the Jubilee of our Alma Mater, either in person or in spirit, do we offer all good wishes, for we feel that they are the most eloquent testimonial of the contribution made by M. A. C. to the sciences and the arts, to happy homes and to sterling American citizenship.' In the selection of material for KtJubilee Wolverine the editorial Stan have attempted to gather, in short treatises and random jokes, 8. fund of that natural philosophy and spontaneous wit which characterize the M. A. C. student, and which permit no important occasion to pass without satirical 01' humorous comment. To the alumni, who perhaps may he unncquainted with the exact application, some of these will surely recall the haltiforgotten incidents ant ttstunts of their own college days. To the many who in various ways assisted in this publication we owe a debt of gratitude,et0 D11 Blaisdell, who assisted in the culling 0F the literary matter, to those who submitted sketches and designs, and to those who helped in countless other important ways; and we desire in this matter to thank each and all. Wishing to our friends unbounded happiness and success, and to our college many other jubilee occasions, we leave our readers to the perusal of the ttluhilec VVolverinef, HEADS OF DEPARTMENTS JONATHAN L.

Visions Of success are mingled with those of defeat. thoughts of madness with those of sormw. and periods of trial illlti tribulation are thickly the moments of our college days. interspersed with catc-frcc, happy-go-lucky 19mm our advent as unsophisticatt-tl Props the hand of fate has fallen hcavily upon us. till frnm two hundred loyal souls we have been reduccd to four scum with nui- loyalt'x: however. still unquestioned. As a class we have been unassum- ing, antl fur this we have hecn generously criticised. True though it is that our athlctic ViCtOI'iCS have, been smncwhat i058 frequent than Hln' tittiC'EltFt it cannot be said that we did not tight to the last rlitch. and when defeat was inevitable that we have not accepted it in the graceful mamm- which is almost as hmmrahltt as victory itself. Whitt- class athletics. wt' cammt deficient in help thinking that in furnishing the nndcus for the Varsity 5t nncwhat ftmthall tcam for three years, a captain for a three ycai'si cham- pion basketball team. the battery for the baseball team for three ycars. and individual stars on the track and hockey teams. we have titHlC nur share in uphuhlingr the standard of M. A. C. athletics. Admitting that we may hru't- hocn stlrpassmi by others in class athleticx there will always hc 01W achievement to which we can lnnk hack with just pride. the J. Hop of old Naughty Eight. Althungh the success of the event was assured from tht' beginning: the prmnisc hy hnth Senior and Sophomore that there would be nothing done tn interfere with thc hop. enabled many an anxious Junior tu dance with a lighter heart and a happier smile. Hn the night of February 22. 1907. at eight o'clock. Juniors and their friends from M. A. C. and abroad gathered at tho XVOinan's building. and after a delightful reception. proceeded to the dining room almvc, where we were served with a dainty banquet, the charm of the feast being greatly augmented by the. many beautiful selections furnished by Finzel's orchestra. Then. after a few introductory remarks. Verne Congwer, our class pre5ident aml tnastmaster. called upon several members of the class to respond to toasts. We looked backward into the past with Mr. Edwards aml Migs Lora Hyde. realized the joys of the present with Miss Pratt and Roswell Carr, 21ml glanced into the future under the, rules of Mr. OYGara. Healing the warning of the many impatient feet. we then bravely attacked the grim alwlc 0f the M. A. C. God of W'm', to he greeted with ecstatic ltOhs antl 'HKhS from our fair friends. as they witnessed the transfurmation which had taken place. The interior of the once bleak and gloomy cavern was now a woodland bower; festnnns of mountain ivy, OVCl'llallglllQ boughs of pines. twinklingr stars of varied enlnrs, all united in making of the Dltl armory a place of beauty which will lK' ever remembered by those who saw it.

Oh, foolish hearts that touch- XVhen things that mean so little Seem things that mean so much. At last James knew what true love meant. In all his thir- teen years of existence no one had ever caused such perturba- tion in his heart :15 did the curlyvhaired daughter of the minister. who had just moved in across the road. The house had long stood idle, and James l'IEltl been much interested in the prucess of moving in. As he watched the magsniticent carelessness with which the men handled barrels of china. and the tender care they bestowed on feather beds. he resolved to he a driver of a moving van. l'mt when he. saw her. all ambition was lost except to win favor in her eyes. She was standing in the doorway. a gray kitten in her arms, the sun shining: on her yellow curls. James put his hands in his pockets and began to whistle. Then he arose and turned a beautiful eartwheel. landing squarely on his feet. But even that rlitl not seem to impress this girl: so he sannteretl carelessly across the street, wishing that the horses on the movingr van would suddenly make a wild rush across the yard, so that he could rescue the girl from beneath their trampling feet, and he killed himself-perhaps die with his head on her lap. l'mt Fate was unkind or the horses were too mild: and nothing happened whereby James mulrl pmve his heroic qualities. From that hour his heart was not his own. That was almost a month ago, and now 11 i and May were very intimate F r7 friends. James had discovered that there was no place in town so cool and delightful on a warm summer evening as a corner of the big porch which run across the front of her house. He had entirer forgotten the grocer's daughter. on Whom he had lavished his attentions previously, and she told a friend that she had never been so deceived before in all her life. by any boy. and that if her heart wasnt broken and her life ruined, it wasn't Jamie's fault. hit James cared no more for grocers' daughters. He devoted himself entirely to May. They had a postoftiee now, in a corner of the picket fence which ran around her house, under a stone, and the hours of delivery of mail were frequent indeed. James would write a fervent epistle. cautiously steal across the road and place it under the stone. Then May came. in answer to his Whistle. and Of course the letter was answered immediately Then when James found her answer. there. was so much of importance to be said in return that the postofhce soon contained anothet note. Extreme caution was necessary as' .her father was a minister and his study window afforded 5i splendid View of the postoftice. 0f the rapture of those days little can be said. James endured all the splendid anguish of jealousy if. he saw May smile upon anothereall the wonderful torments of despair if more than ten minutes passed after he had deposited a letter in the office and no answer had come. If he heard her mother call her to come and wash the dishes. he. wondered how they could ask so angelic a being to do such things, and he almost envied the dishes. Once he saw her elder brother pull her hair and he marvelled that the lightning did not at the instant strike him dead. One morning as Jamie pushed the lawn mower across the grass he saw May out by the woodshed back of her house. H'e ran out into the road to see what she was doing, then stopped, petrified. She waseyes, she was trying to chop a stick of wood. Her brother villain!ehad neglected to fill the woodbox. Before he could collect his senses and rush to her aid, she had gathered up the pieces of wood and gone into the house. The grocery wagon drove by and the delivery boy had to yell twice to James to tiGit out the way. He went back to his house and upstairs to his room. There were paper and pencil on his table, and he sat down to write his opinion of such conduct. In his anger he forgot his customary caution and stalked majestically across the road to the postoihee. Wrath blinded his eyes so he saw not the minister in his study window watching with mild curiosity the queer behavior of this youth. Jamie whistled, and Hed to the shelter of an oak tree in the next yard. In response to his summons, instead of his lady fair, out came her father. He kicked away the stone and picked up the note which lay there. James longed to rush on him and compel him to yield this letter of his, but he could not make his legs g0, and he only wondered stupidly if the minister never combed his hair, or if he was accustomed to tear it while he wrote his sermons. He watched him walk back to the house reading the note. T hen he heard him call, ttMay, come here to me, and heard her answer, Yes, papa. Ah, she little knew of the blow that was to fall! He sat down under the tree and watched an ant making vain efforts to drag a large crumb over a blade of grass. He could feel his heart going thump, thump, and then through the open window he heard the minister reading the letter to May. Dearest Mayel have just seen you getting kindling. Your brother is a darned Chump not to split it for you. If he wasn't your brother. I'd call him names worsern a darned Chump. I know a lot I could call him. Iitl rather split wood for vou forever than have you ever do it. live writ this with a iudelibul pencil and that makes the darned Chump all the worse. Anser soon. Jim. He listened with hated breath, HHimfI said the minister. nyou have a very devoted admirer, havenit you? Yes, sirf' said May. UCail himeI want to see him? Then he saw May come out 011 the porch. tjamie, oh, Jamie-e-e-eipapa wants to see you. He shivered. Should he got or should he take refuge in flight? No. He would hear the brunt of it-face the music. He rose, set his cap jauntily on one side, thrust his hands into his pockets, and walked through the gate up onto the porch. Hurry up. Jamie. Just see what youive done. Why werenit you earefulier. any how ?,i Ah, nothing worse could befall him l'lOVV. She had re- proacheii him for carelessness. when she knew his love for her had made him reckless. Aw, I don't care? he growled as he followed her into the house. The minister stood in the hall. the fateful letter in his hand. tiSo-o-o he said slowly, so youire Jimmie? And youid chop wood forever? W ell, Iill let you prove your love. Come and fill the woodhox.U Jamie gasped, but he followed the minister. As they passed through the kitchen the latter said to his wife, who was rolling out a pie crust, iiThis little boy has kindly volunteered to chop our wood. Jamie winced, but he marched bravely 011 to the wooclshed. There the minister pulled a book from his pocket, and sat down on a box to read, and oversee the pro- eeedings. James saw no chance for escape; so he grasped the axe and set to work. How the chips did fiy! He heard the boys whist- ling for him across the way. They were going swimming and he had promised to go. The thought of the deep pool and the cool water made him seven times hotter, but he set his teeth grimly, and chopped on. And how his back did ache! Once he thought he heard May in the kitchen. laughing at him, but he dismissed that idea as too terrible. Then her brother came home. Jamie heard him coming through the house. How he hated him! He came to the woodshed door and looked in with a chuckle of amusement. Got a new hired man, eh father? Pm duly grateful, Jamie, May told me youire doing it for love. It saves me a lot of workf, Then he went back into the house, and as he opened the door Jamie heard May say, 'iDoesnit he look too funny? I think itis the best jokeV' James learned early that ridiculousness in the object of ones devotion is a sure cure for love. He felt dumb despair chilling his heart, but he kept on chopping. Finally he saw his father coming from the office, and then he heard his welcome whistle. iiPlease, sir, vae got to go. That's my father whistling? The minister looked up from his book. 'iOh, Iill g0 and tell him that you are chopping wood for us-.,' James writhed, but he managed to answer, ttDinner'll be ready. and I've got to cut our graSS. Then he dropped the axe and fled. The minister smiled reflectively as he looked at the wood; then he went in to his dinner. James couldn't explain to his father why the grass was uncut, nor could he appease the wrath of the boys because he had broken his promise. He spent a most unhappy afternoon, running the lawn mower in the hot August sunlight, thinking bitter thoughts on the inconsistency of women. and the folly of love. uFor at three o'clock. all clad in blue gingham, May had gone down the street in the company of a boy named George. who had long; been worshiping her from afar. Jamie knew they were going to the ball game. May had promised to go with him, and now his rival bore her away under his very eyes. But the grass was cut at length and Jamie went in to clean up for supper. As he stood by his table buttoning the cuffs of his clean waist, a brilliant idea flashed upon him. He would write to his false mistress and empty the Vials of his wrath upon her. He had heard his mother speak of a woman who remembered something to her dying day, and he would make this letter one like that. He sat down and began to write. He didn't hear the supper bell, nor his mother calling him. but when his father whistlecl, he did hear that. He had just finished the letter, so he thrust it into his pocket and went down to supper. iiVVhat have you been doing. James W demanded his father. James iutcmlctl to say Nothing, but to his own surprise bu burst out. Writing a letter. HXYho to? T0 May.

Bushnell Ray Stannard Baker PHI DELTA SOCIETY The beginningr of this society dates back more than 21 third of a century to that day in November, 1873, when the cere- monies creating the Michigan Beta of the Phi Delta Theta Fraternity were held in the open air near Faculty Row. The minutes of the proceedings show us that the. First reg- ular meeting was held on November 3. 1873, with Charles W. Sheldon. '75. as president, and Frank J. Annis. '75, as secretary. while the names of Thos. F. Rogers; '74. and Grant M. Sheldon, were connected with the fraternity as men who were also instrumental in obtaining the charter for the Mich- igan Beta Chapter. This chapter was a very prosperous and inthtential organ- ization from the time of its founding. as a result of the care- ful selection of members. After the charter was given up to the general council in 1898, the members immediately reorganized as the Phi Delta Society. still preserying the dignity of the previous organ- ization. Literary work was resumed with even more enthuv siasm than before. I Up to the time of the destruction of old Wells Hall. lieb- ruary. 1905. meetings were held in the east ward of the base- ment rooms which had been fitted up by the members as a home for the fraternity. After the fire. meetings were held in various places. and an organization was preserved. and tinally the State Hoard granted the sneiety the moms in new tVells, in which the meetings are nuw hehl. Though the society has changed its name as well as its abode, the spirit of good feliowship has not changed. and at the coming jubilee our old alumni and new Phis will mingle :18 in cummun hrntherhnmd.

Seeing a definite place to be filled by a society consisting of energetic men, on March 12, 1877, a number of the most active students at that time met in College Hall, and temporarily organized. A committee was 211 mun appointed who submitted the constitution after ward aulopted, the preamble of which best sets forth what the. objects of the society have been during the thirty years of its existence: We declare ourselves an association for mutual improvement in literary. moral, and social culture, and to enlarge our fund of general intelligence; 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. As could be expected, there were many difficulties to over- come before gaining recognition, but these were ably met as they came up, and in due time the society assumed its place among its sister societieg at the college. For a short time meetings were held in College Hall, but during 1878 per- mission was secured from the State hard to equip the rooms which, until recently, were occupied in Williams Hall. The larger part of this work was done by the members themselves, which is further evidence of their determined purpose to place the society upon a lasting foundation. SOCIETY During the past year a new society house has been under construction. Although entailing much sacrifice and labor, the project has met with the utmost loyal support from the alumni and active members, who have contributed generously, both of time and means, to make the HTicVi home what it should he. Under the able leadership of A. C. Bird and F. C. Kenney. the building has been brought to successful com- pletion. May the strong feeling of brotherhood 110w existing among Eeleeties continue to bind them in years to come. OLYMPIC SOCIETY The Olympic Society was organized in September of 1885, in Room 105, W'ells Hall, then occupied by A. L. Marlioff, .87, who did more toward the primary steps of its organization than tlitl any other student. He, with F. L. Wrigglesworth. the first president of the society, and Everhart of ,86, O. C. Wheeler, '87. G. L. Teller, '38, 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 college, the Eclectic and the Union Literary Societies. At this time these two were filled to their constitutional limit. which at best accommodated but a small proportion of the students then in attendance at the college. It had been ten years since a society was formed, and it had now become apparent that another society was needed, as the remainder of the students were denied the privilege and train- ing of a literary society. It was to fill this want that the Olympic Society was organized in the hope that other students might benelit by the literary and social privileges extended through the society. 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 might, holding their meetings in class rooms or in the rooms of students wherever they found it convenient. Their literary work was conducted along the same lines as at the present time, but with fewer members. From time to time more members were added to its roll until it became as strong and influential as its sister societies. The men who organized the society were not almie in their struggle for its existence, for, were it not for the invaluable aitl rendered by President XVillits, the Olympic Society would not be in existence to-dayi It was he who christened the society, and it was through his influence that the pleasant rooms which it now occupies were secured. This was in the spring of 1887. at which time Q. C. Wheeler, ,87. was chosen chairman of the building committee that was to finish the rooms. loeatetl 0n the fourth Ham of the south wiinzgr of VVill- iams Hall. The work was completed in time for commence- ment of that year, the commencement program and banquet being the Iirst exercises held in the new quarters. The emblem of the society is a Grecian lyre, designed by Mr. YVheeler and adopted by the society in 86. The original as designed by him differed smitewhat from the present pin. It consisted of a lyre with the TCCtlS omitted and the Parthenon resting upon the. lower eross-bar. with 0. S. engraved upon the upper one. It was also much smaller than the present pin and had no base. The oratorical contest held each winter term originated with the Olympic Society. The first contest was held in the fall 0f ,88. and was won by Mr. David fhllthrsmL who represented the society. The general work of the society has been along literary lines. but, in addition to the literary training, our aim has been 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 those acquainted with college affairs. NEAL C. PERRY. 1907 Chase, A. H. Clisc, B. B. Hitchcock. L. Ii.

'FERONIAN SOCIETY The Feronian Society was organized seventeen years ago. 011 the. 20th of March. There seemed to be much need of a girls, literary society, although there were but twenty girls in college. After important meetings and animated discussions the society was organized, and the name Feronian adopted. which is derived from the Italian goddess Feronia. The early history of the society is much the same as that Of others of a similar kind. one of hard work and earnest thought. not to be forgotten by the xarly members. There was total lack of experience, aml in the first two terms the member- ship was so small that there were scarcely offtcers enough to manage the society. No regular 01' suitable place of meeting could be found. There were several sessions at the homes of members who lived upon the campus, and the entire afternoon was devoted to social and literary work. Later the 111ecti11gs were held in the Union Literary building, and still later in thc Hesperian rooms. Seven years ago the long-Chcrishcd hope. for rooms in the Women's Building was realized. and today the Feronians enjoy a membership of twenty-eight girls. who feel that their society demands the best of Which they are capable. As members of the oldest and largest women's literary society on the grounds. we believe that the word Femnian stands for the highest and noblest ideals. MAUD FERGUSON, ,08. 441 COLUMBIAN LITERARY SOCIETY It is a well recognized fact that he who puts the most into at thing is sure to get the most out of it. Not only does 11c do that, but in the years to come he looks back 011 that for which he strove so hard, perhaps not without sacrifice, with a glow of satisfaction. and feels that he has been faithful unto at least a few things. It has been said, and I believe truly, that 011e-ha1f of a college training is received outside of the realm of books. A college education in itself is not the end, but rather a means to an end. It is the capital. the stock in trade, the equipment for life which promotes and builds up 21 future for him alone who is willing to work for its advantages. It was with this idea in mindeto balance the curriculum of study in the making of manhood through the development of the moral, intellectual and social nature of man-that fifteen men met on March 19. 1892, W. M. Fulton being chairman. for the purpose of forming a literary society. A constitution was adopted, and the Cohnnbian Literary Society awoke only to be confronted by the many perils and contentions which so characterize the history and growth of such an order. How well the society has succeeded in overcoming these Obstacles and winning for itself a place 011 a level with the other societies 011 the campus, can best be judged by the reader. The first year, through the kindness of the English depart- ment, was spent in a class room. The society then moved in 1894 to its new home in XVells Hall, where it remained until 1897, when it was again moved to its present location in VVill- iams Hall. Additions and i111pr0ve111e11ts have been made in the society 1101110 until now it 00111pares favorably with those of other societies. A member of the C. L. S is not forgotten when he leaves college. His interests are ours. and it is 0111- undeavor to keep in touch with him, that our knowledge of the affairs of one with the other may be mutual. 0111- alumni and f1 n'mcr 111e111bers are always welcome. and we are glad to have them with us at any time. This strong fraternal feeling exists. and its friendships are everlasting. B. G. CAMPBELL, '07. 'r TH '15 . $5.7 ELEM KKK M T O :07 I. D. Angell J. C. Button B. Cr. Campbell W . W. Gasser O. I.

The name, Themian, from Thcmis, the goddess of justice, was finally selected as a name fat the new society. The meetings were first held in the Y. M. C. A. rooms and later in the chapel. Then the use of the Phi Delta Theta Frater- mty rooms were offered to the girls. The State Board rooms in the Agricultural Laboratory were used until the fall of 1900, when the present rooms were Erst occupied. Although the first years were full of hardships and discour- agcments, even failures, the true spirit of comradeship and determination to hold together kept the society a unit and increased the 111embership. h Besides the purely educational benefit, the society has another worthy Objectethat of social fellowship and the development of true loyalty and friendship. May the society continue to live 11p to the standard set by those eleven Charter 1110111bers, and may its members be worthy followers of our revered goddess of justice. GRACE TAFT.

C. from time to time in the history of the institution and it has hem satisfied by the organization of societies that have filled their part WLH and have added to the strength of the college. The growth of M. A. C. seemed to warrant the establishment of zumther society in 1903. V Accordingly, a few men met in the Y. M. C. A. rooms in WYiHiams Hall, on Oct. 10, and with the help of Burt VVermuth and Clem Ford, hoth honored members of OM societies, effected the organization of what was then known as the Sigma Mu Beta Literary Society. Its first president was John Decker. In the spring of 1903. the name Sigma Mn Reta was changed to Eunomian. The society, having no rooms of its own, rented the Y. M. C. A. rooms for three years. In the fall of 1906 it took up its home in New Wells Hall. Despite the disadvantages it has experienced from the lack of a satisfactory society home. it has come to he a strong society and numbers among its alumni members men who are an inspiration to the Eunomians at M. A. C. and a credit to their Alma Mater. We feel that there are a few first principles upon which the growth of the society has depended, and upon which its further progress will depend. The society must contribute to the development of the individual member, and it must seek to promote the interests of the whole college. In accord with the Ftrst principle, the society seeks to provide a good moral atmosphere, requires thorough work along lit- -.erary lines, and provides social advantages. In fulfillment of the second principle ntentioneth the society encourages its members to participate in 1111 the best college activities. Having recently secured a society home in Williams Hall, the Emmmimts expect even a greater measure of prosperity in the future than has attended their efforts in the past. EARL P. ROBINSON, o7. ERO ALPHIAN SOCIETY Why is the college girl so different from other girls? Is it her womlerful learning that impresses one? No; nor is it the lack of it. It is the natural. unaffected life which she leads that makes her the college girl. And nowhere is the spirit of friendship closer than at college. So. to develop the all around girl. the Ero Alphian Society came into existence. In the winter of 1904, various meetings were held, and, 011 larch 15 with a nucleus of fourteen girls. Ihe Iiro Alphian ncict'y was fnrnmlly organized. Although we are still young. we are prmul of what we A S have accomplished. As a society we are able to compete to our advantagc.

Tower AUROREAN LITERARY SOCIETY The most important event in the life of :1 man, is his birth, and so it is with a literary society. On Saturday evening, September 30111, 1905y nine men met in room 6, College Hall. These men realized the need of ex- tending the opportunity for literary training and social priv- ileges to more of the students, and decided that another society was desirable; accordingly, on the following Saturday night, October 7th, sixteen men met in Old No. 7 and formally organized the Aurorean Literary Society, with R0110 E. Keech, i06, as president, and Daniel H. Ellis, '07, as secretary. The meetings were held in N0. 7 during the remainder of the school year. At the beginning of the fall term in 1906 the society took the rooms in Wiard E, XVells Hall. These rooms have been comfortably furnished, and make a pleasant home for the so- ciety. Although young. the society is strongly organized and takes part in all the athletic, literary. and social functions of the college. If the spirit of brotherhood, the good moral standing, and the desire to succeed, which now characterizes the Auroreans, is maintained in the future, that future must be bright. L. N. H. Between the dew and the moonlight, When the Deanls in slumber's wrap, Clitles a figure from out the shadow, And crosses the moonlit gap. I hear in the shade of the building The shuttle of feet in the grass; r t - - lhe sound at a Window opened; And salutatir'ms puss. 19mm my arbor I see in the nmunlight, Descending the brick and stone. A figure in mystic. apparel, As it were a ghost, alone. A whisper, and then a silence; Yet i hear through the clear. cool air. They are plotting and planning together A trip on the Cedar fairt A sudden rush from the shadow, A raid u'er the shimmering pond; They leave their sleeping comrades For pleasantcr fields beyond. THE SPOONER'S HOUR 1 follow not their footsteps, Fur we've all been there before; I i l he lover loves her lover; his the same old stnry tfer. As into the garden uf Eden. Eve fOllHWCtl Adam then: So long as there are wumeit. There'll be women after mm. Two hours have quickly llceted Since they their leave did take: They thrled again the pathway Round the artificial lake. The way they get her back again TO the window fi-nm whence she came, Would make the circus acrobat T0 blush for very shame. This Faculty of ours is game. But there's a hunch that's gamer yet, That do things on the campus Which they never will forget. EWTEIM CAMPUS ILLUMINATION The campus must be lighted; so the president declared at a recent confidential meeting with the Juniors. How entirely original with him to suggest, 011 the eve of the great cele- bration, that this hallowed spot on which even our fathers trod to secure an educatign, be fittingly arrayed in electrical splendor, Yes. our campus must be illuminated. The longer we con- sider the matter, the greater the wonder is that it has not been accomplished before. To think that we have plodtled 0n zmtl on for fifty years without an illuminated campus! lint we'll leave no stone unturned now. XVe're going to have a dazzlind. llp-tO-tlEltC illumination that will make ALL other campuses green with envy. We want a rival Aurora Horealis-a pano- rama of light and lightning-an illumination that King Edward can take home and show to his childreneone that we can hand down to posterity. How can it be accomplished? Trust for that to the com- bined enthusiasm aml ingenuity of seven hundred loyal stu- dents. Have we not inspiration? Look you to the Fiery scenes of burning Wlells Hall which we once witnessed. Recall. if you will, the mighty eontlagration of soap boxes, salt barrels and sundry other odds and entls of state property, in celebration of victories in football. Aml, were it not for the promiscuous array of nightshirts aml the appearance of the occupants, new Xh'ells Hall at night with the light streaming through its broadside of windows would be an inspiring example of architectural illumination, Turning then to the campus, how can we adapt these sug- gestions to practical working plans? Take the decoration of buildings. Incandescent lamps could be Strung in fe5t00ns and hung in catenaries from points on the mriiices and walls of the buildings. Pendants of lights aml rusettes ennsisting ul clusters of lamps could then be attached to these points of support. The exercise of a little skill in arrangement would transform ancient and tattered College Hall into a fair maiden of architectural beauty t ?l. lf found satisfactory, the idea might then be carried further and the other central buildings, the burns, the chielien-house 21ml the coal-shetls decorated likewise. A moclihcation 0f the preceding itlea might be embodied in the. following: A high wall similar to a baseball backstop is constructed. Upon this is then arranged, by closely setting: colored lights, representations of clasSical 0r emblematic figures. A portrayal Of t'Progressf say. is shown as a fair maiden in flowing gown and sandals, seated on :1 bolt of calico marked three and one half cents, with a crown of alfalfa upon her l1 ml, an old fashioned sickle in one hand, and a copy of Wood's Railway Guide in the other. Or, by having different sets of lights, a series of artistic figures may be produced showingr advance- ment in agricultural antl mechanical pursuits. A modern agrie cultural student with a pair of tlehorning shears, in the act of tlehorning a hydraulic ram, symbolizes Dairying. An or- chartlist knocking pilferingr youngsters out of a tree of favorite apples with a stream of Bordeaux mixture represents horti- culture. A lad posed over a block of iron, hammer in hand. in representation of HChipping and Filing, thcs justice to the mechanic. A young lady triumphantly waving a rolling pin over a bread-pan of 'rising dough graces Domestic Science. Further, we suggest that our revered president wear a hat studded with miniature. real glowing lights, that the horns of the cattle be tipped with incandescents, that a few sixteen candle power bulbs be set out and cultivated as an object lesson to visitors from the South Sea Islands. that the Entomological department encourages the propagation of lightning bugs, that the co-cds shine on the just and the unjust, and that each male student in order to prove his loyalty wear a seventeen karat radium scarf pin and an electric belt during the ccle- hration.

CAMPUS TWILIGHT Evening shadows fall about me, Distant scenes grow soft and dim, Vision shortens to the lamplights TMongst the trees and hedgeerows trim. Shadows dance about in columns Coming softly, gone again, Lighting faces of the pictures Of the friends of memoryis train. And they step from out the twilight, And the stars appear aglow, Cast the figures in the background In a fainter, wavering row. Years are gonqethese friends are with me. In the land of waking dreams. Sweet communion holds them present And our spirits talk, it seems. Though great distance lies between us, Fleeting years cannot efface From the mind the hallowed friendships Of the years spent in this place. C. H.

As set forth in the preamble of the Constitution its purposes are ltto mark in a fitting manner those who have conferred honor upon their Alma Mater by a high grade of scholarship as undergraduates, or by their attainments as alumni: and to foster a spirit of liberal culture in the techni- cal schools of America. It has as charter members the eligible men from the class of 1885 and several alumni who were in sympathy with the scheme. For the First seven years after organization only the one chapter existed, but it kept gaining in strength until it became evident that it had come to stay. In 1892 the Alpha of Michigan was installed at 0111' own Alma Mater and since that time the number of chapters has been steadily increasing. At present there are seventeen chapters in existence representing eleven states, Michigan being the only state claiming three. Eligibility to IllelanTSlllp is based upon scholarship; meme bers of the engineering classes having the highest grades after the sophomore year being clegible to election in the order of their grade. While the rccoi'ds are depended upon for the grades, one is not necessarily elected even after having obtained the required standard. It is always understood that the grades must have been obtained by honest Work. Congeniality is also expected of the members, and although the aSSociation is not a social organization, the fraternal spirit is growing. and we may expect it to become still stronger with the increasing growth of the association.

About two minutes after roll call Grace and Eva rush madly in, gasping in stage whispers, Has she called the roll, girls? L'pon being assured that such is the case, they drop weakly into chairs, and for the space of forty-flve seconds, an atmosphere of calm pervades the room. Gradually a gentle murmur, like the drowsy hum of bees on a warm June day, is felt rather than heard, and this gathers force and volume until the only way to escape being borne under is to join in the general conversation, taking care to raise the voice one key higher than the others. Gradually from the babble may be distinguished the despairing voice of Grace: Girls, 1 wish I could die. I can't do this stitch and I just hate sewing anyway? Loreta. uOh, cheer up. Gracie.

FRESHMAN'S CLUB SANDWICH I met a freshman friend some days ago; I noticed in his eye a glistening tear. Said he, I have a tale of bitter woe T0 pour into your sympathetic ear? Said I facetiously, hA tail to pour? Why, tails must wag, as does the dog's, you know? He sadly said, uYou are an awful bore- You are too waggish. If it please you so, Then let me say, II shall a tale unfoldf I And as he paused awhile to softly weep, My friend? said I, ttif I may be so bold, I guess that tale will be a tale of sheep, For sheep are folded, tails and all, I know, To keep them safe and warm from storm and cold. What has been done may be undone, and so, The sheep'is tale, folded, you may now unfold. I felt quite sheepish 'ncath his scornful glance, And saw my interruptions made things worse, While he, still sorrowful, as in a trance, Did doggedly recite this doggerel verse: tII visited, the other night, the kitchen of the club, And as I tried to make a light, alighted on a tub T hat rose and struck me with a bar of music from its staves, And called me many curious names, such as the tKing of Knavesf Then some one coughed behind my back, tHe's crazy, I supposee I turned and saw atcoffee-pot standing upon its nose. A Hatiron hissed and said that he could do that if he chose- Alas, when he essayed the feat, he tumbled 011 my toes! Then when I ventured to remark I'd known that he would fail, A bright teaekettle from the shelf turned down his shining bail, And cast on me a baleful glance that made me fairly quail, While mice were doing fancy dives into the water-pail. ItThe hammer tried to crack some jokes, but quickly lost his head, And when he dared to make a pun, they punished him instead, 13y clipping his dependent clause, and putting him to bed. But then he would not Close his eye, which they thought quite ill-bred.

The kitchen clock put up his hands and almost tried to run. W hen two ticks tried to make him go, he viciously struck one. KtThe matches formed a union, and their chairman scratched his head When called upon to make a speech, and in matchless language said, Let all of us go on a strike, of working we are tiredf But every union match that struck was very promptly fired.

Soon after the VV'Omcn's Course was installed at this college, a Young W'omcn's Christian Association was organ- ized. The early membership was very small, but it has increased year by year until now almost every girl is either an active or associate member. Prayer meetings are held every Thursday evening, and on Sunday evenings a union meeting is held with the Young Menis Christian Association. Several of the members of the association have formed a practical Bible Study Class, which uses as a text Howard A. Johnstonk nStudies for Personal Workers. These lessons are interesting and will he of great assistance to the girls in their religious work after leaving college, as well as during college days. The most helpful part of the class work is the discussion of practical problems in personal work and the way in which they may be successfully met. The Association was represented by eleven delegates at the State Convention in Kalamazoo last November. Two delee gates were sent to the National Convention at Nashville; Tenn, in 1906.

Since the very birth of the Michigan Agricultural College there has been in it some form of religious organization, hav- ing as its object the adding of a clean moral iniiuence to the advantages of the liberal courses of study offered. The Young Menis Christian Association was formed about 20 years ago, and has exerted a powerful uplifting influence upon the students, though it has not as yet attained its great- est degree of effectiveness. As the number of students increased, larger opportunities and responsibilities were opened for the Y. M. C. A., and it was deemed wise a few years ago, to secure a man who could devote his entire time to furthering the work of the associa- tion. The means of reaching the individual student are various. The Thursday and Sunday evening meetings are such as to be of profit and interest to all who may attend. A practical knowledge of the Bible being desirable, the association is active in promoting Bible study among the students. About two hundred twenty-flve have enrolled in Bible classes during the year. By study and giving, is also created an interest in the work that is being carried on in other lands. I The Y M. C. A. is an organization of students for students. It aims to be cosmopolitan, Its policy has ever been to have as its leaders men representative of all of the foremost inter- terests of the college. It studiously avoids creating the im- pression that it is an exclusive organization; it intends to help all students. The association believes that because it is a body whose only purpose is to develop a spirit of Christian manhood among the students of M. A. C., it is the duty of every man to give it his support, both for what it will mean to himself, and for what it will do for his fellows. Y. M. C. A. CABINET FOR 1907-8 President, F. M. HARDEN.

The first meeting took place November 5. 1901, and other meetings were held every alternate Wkdncsday evening until the. interest and attend- ance made it possible to have it a weekly affair.

DICE, Because of the increasing interest in dairying manifested by many agricultural students at our college, it was conceived by a few seniors, during the fall of 1906, that a club devoted solely to dairy matters would be of beneht to a greater or less num- ber of students. Accordingly, an effort was made to interest as many as possible in the project, Which resulted in a meeting being called for Wednesday evening, Oct. 24th, at which time a constitution and by-laws were adopted and the following offi- cers Were elected for the remainder of the term: President, P. V. Goldsmith; Vice president, W. D Liverance; secretary and treasurer, J. D. Baker. At our meetings. which are held every W'ednesday evening. matters of dairy interest are discussed, new methods of testing the various dairy products are demonstrated, reports are given of dairy 111eetings throughout the state that any of our members may have attended, and talks are given by professors and in- structors upon some phase of the subject which comes within their line. Considering- the newness of the organization, much interest has been manifested by our members and the attendance has been fair. XVe are looking forward to a large increase in both of these. and to the day when the Dairy Club will have out- grown its infancy and become one of the most prosperous clubs on our campus. . XV. D. LIVERANCE. SCIENTIFIC DAIRYING Persons about to enter the dairy business may find the following instructions of some value: First, select good pasture lands. Second, build suitable quarters, for without good quarters your cattle will be poor cattle indeed. The hind quarters are the most important, because the milk comes from them. In building the Stable be careful to put the manger at the same end that the cow's head will be. Then comes the selecting 0f the cattle. They should be good feeders, and should have good coats, in order that they may easily withstand the terrible Winters. T hey should be good beef types, good breeders, and good milkers. The best breeder that 1 can call to mind at present is the Poland-China. The Shropshire has a beautiful shaggy coat, and the best beef type is the Percheron. 'luff Cochins are excellent breeders and the Duroc-jersey cannot be beaten as a milk producer. If good butter is desired, a small amount of goatk blood might be injected into each animal. The tail should be well to the rear of the animal and quite near the brisket, as it adds to the appearance when situated in that position. The animal would weigh much heavier if it had hind legs both in front and in back; but it would be less apt to kick the milk pail over if the front legs only were placed in back. Enough has been said Of the type of animal desired; nowi let us consider the herd as a whole. It should not be too large and should contain mostly females, as they are usually con- sidered better milkers. No woman help should be allowed in the barn, because milk-maids tor cow-bells, as they are Often eallch are too noisy and are apt to frighten the animals. Never put a pair of green goggles on a cow and then feed her excelsior, because she is very apt to yield wooden shoe pegs instead of milk. XYhen preparingr milk for the market, wash it thoroughly with warm water and soap. Then rinse two or three times with clear cool water to remove the taste of the soap. The very best way to obtain cream is to go with a friend to the dairy in the stillt small hours of the night and open the rear window about six inches. Then slip through with your pitcher, pail 0r wash boiler, as the case may be, and tip-toc quietly to the cream vats; help yourself, and try to escape by diving through the window, if you are startled by a sudden noise. If you land on the ground six feet below with no other bones than those of the pitcher broken, make a wide detour around the ttCoop? through Collegeville, up the parade groundst and into your box, to sit and sweat in abject terror, ' until you are finally brought out of it by the loud laughter of your friend, who cheerfully proceeds to inform you that you have been the unfortunate victim of a practical joke.

For the college bell within the tower W'ith brazen peal doth tell that itis the hour For me to hustle once more to the club, And get my grub ifit lies within my power. VYhen I first entered dear old M. A. C., I hiked unto the chapel faithfully; But now I use the time for quiet strolls; For fussing's more than chapel is to me. Much of my time at Lansing inns I spent, And quaHed Anheuser to my heart's content, And tried to 100k and act like a spinort, Until I parted with my final cent. On autumn evenings oft I'd take a stroll; For walking ,neath the stars exalts the soul. But. hark! I met a band of roving Sophs, And spent the evening barking up some pole. Frenzied appeals to father I would send For money when no one to me would lend; And if my luck was good lid get a check, 'With much advice as where and how to spend. Capt. Fiiger in his uniform of brindle, in me a martial fire did strive to kindle; But I got sick of drilling by the hour ; such Martial enthusiasm did quickly dwindle. in me the Soph does not inspire a fear; I'im diplomatic though when he is near; 50 I content myself with the fond hope 111 be a Sophomore, perhaps, next year.

NOTES ON SERMON TAKEN BY SAMMIE FOR KINGOLOGY Arrived at church at 6:50 p. m. Waited ten minutes for services to commence. In the meantime I looked at the pretty girls to pass the time. The bell tolled quite a while before the services began. It had an oritund tone of voice, but it was rother mon- otonous, because it did not change its pitch. The Methodist church must be a great one for grass wid- ows, or else the women don't have very good luck getting their husbands to come to church. T here is much evidence of race suicide. t A couple of pretty girls just came in and sat down beside me. The seat is too blamed big. They are pipins. I heard them tell the usher where to take them. They are game. The music has begun. They think I am daffy writing so fast. They dare each other to sit over nearer me. Oh, I wish they would. I am afraid! The choir and minister have come in. There is a Salva- tion Army fellow on each side of the minister. He looks sober and dignified and wears glasses. The people in the choir arc gazing everywhere. The music is ceasing. Song, 180, omit second verse. Bring forth the royal diaclemf, The girls sing to beat the band. Cap he leads in prayer. He does not use quite deep enough oritund quality. Song. They did not announce the name, darn them. IlOnward, Christian Soldier? by the way it sounded. The girls are quite interested in my writing. A fellow just came 'in and I slid over next to the girls. Glary, Hallie Lulea! The ushers secure my money. Tuff! Hey? The girls will not read this, but they look at the pictures. Solo by a red haired girl, while the ushers take up the money. Good. The minister gets up and uses the explosive tone of voice. Cornet solo by Adj. Keller. Solo by the two Salvation Army men. He reads a few verses from the Bible. I never had short hand or I would take it down. One of the girls tore up all of the contribution envelopes. I gave one girl a note, but she is afraid to read it. She reads the note and smiles. She tears it up. I only told her that I was editor of a Chicago paper and I was a-going to publish the sermon. A girl sneezes and a boy follows suit. Sing,r Rock of Ages, Cleft for me. Benediction.

BREWER Chester L. hewer, who has held the position of Athletic Director of M. A. C. athletics for the past four years, is a grad- uate of the University of Wisconsin, class t 97. During his college career he was one of the best all-armmd athletes in the west. W'alter Camp selected him for the A11- western baseball team in 96 and 97. Mr. Ircwer knows baseball from every point of view, having played in every position, both infield and outfield. During the same years, '96 and t97, W'alter Camp chose Mr. Brewer as right end on the All-wcstcm football eleven. He played 0n the Wisconsin eleven the year W'isconsin went east and played Yale the 6-0 game, Yale scoring in the last few moments, a substitute from the fourth team doing the trick. On the cinder track Mr. Brewer has the following records: Pole vault, 10 feet, 6 inches; shot put, 38 feet, 7 inches; broad jump, 21 feet; high jump, 5 feet 6 inches; IOO-yd. dash, 10 2-5 seconds. This is Mr. Brcwcrk tenth year as a coach, we may say 21 successful coach, for he has turned out winning 1.0211115 wherever he went. The records of our teams will speak for themselves as to his success here. He is the friend of every man in the college. m .w ..P. y Mm , m . 1, 1... m mm. M. A. M. A.

I 1111 C'rrvrwrmxv V lonnnvp pa,- q LIAN A TRUTHFUL STORY Professor Vcdder, our eminent statistician and astrologer, and Author of StVedderls Notes on Surveying, once returned to his native wilds and decided to try his hand at the old sport of quail shooting. Having armed himself to the teeth with an ancient relic of a shotgun and a few pounds of fine bird shot, he set out. Soon he was far from any human habitation and while peering eagerly through the bushes for his feathered quarry he heard loud and terrific screams immediately above him and Ktnear enough for all practical purposes. Looking up he beheld an immense and ferocious eagle swooping down upon him. He instantly thought of his lack of suitable ammunition for coping with the eagle, having nothing but bird shot; but nevertheless he threw himself into a posture of defense and awaited the onslaught. The eagle was a monstrous bird, measuring fully twelve links from tip to tip, with strength in proportion. It neared the Professor, but he did not Hinch; instead, he concentrated all his terrific mental power in the gaze of his fearless eyes. and by his silent, courageous attitude, and bristling moustache he made the eagle quail! He. then shot the quail! . BEAL There IS a Professor named Beal, Who would conll you if flowers you steal ; When with Botany dry, He assails each poor guy, 0 Lord! How unhappy they feal. A CO-ED'S DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDING OF A STEAM ENGINE t'You pour a lot of sand into a box and throw a lot of old stones and things into a fire and empty the molten stream into a hole in the sand, and the men all yell and it's awfully dirty and smoky. Then you pour it out and let it cool and pound it, and then you put it in a thing that goes round and try to break it; then you screw it to a thing that goes back and forth that you can ride on and that scrapes it, and it squeaks; then you put it in a thingr that turns it round and you take a chisel and cut it; then you put it in :1 thing that bores holes in it. Then you screw it together and paint it and put steam in it and it goes awfully, and they take it up in thc draughting room and draw a picture of it and make one of wood just like it. And- oh, I forgot-they have to make a boiler. One man gets inside and one man gets outside and they just pound terribly, and then they tie it to theother thingeand, oh, you just ought to see it go!!, A LETTER FROM HOME Podunk, Feb. 28, 1907.

His inclinations, income, instincts and environment demand a closer study of dress than any other individual. Of course he is apractical fellow, and likes decided things, but he wants proper clothes. He knows what's proper. The fact that College Brand Clothes are worn almost exclusively by College Chaps. by men who don't have to buy ready-mades on account of their pn'cz-advantage, is plain evidence of the style tightness of these garments.
