TSiiB JiMnsiimms d2 ©(iaj ITH the passing of another year in the life of the M. A. C, we have witnessed a continued rapid expansion in its functions as a State-wide influence. Neither has its Alumni Association been backward in recognizing the opportunities that lie before it as an Institution of service to the people of the State. As it grows in power and prestige, every Alumnus is coming to realize that, although years may have passed since his graduation days, he is still an integral part of the College and its influence. He is no longer an isolated man sent out from his Alma Mater to fight his way singly in making his individual success and in paying his debt to the community. No matter what calling he may have taken up, so long as he remains within the State, he is bound to feel that into whatever community he may go, the old College on the Hill is reaching out into its life, giving it new insi)irations and strengthening him in his efforts to make it a community more worth while. The Alumnus of today realizes that whether he is going to be an engineer, a farmer, a teacher, an investigator or pursue his scholastic studies further, he goes out with an obligation upon him to extend the usefulness of the Institu- tion as a community influence and by remaining in close touch with its faculty and field workers, maintain a connecting link that will back his own activities and strengthen his hands in what he has to do. He recognizes that his Alma Mater no longer confines its interests to the teaching of the comparatively few individuals who are fortunate enough to be enrolled as students. He realizes that it is touching from day to day an increasingly larger number of individuals. He sees it reaching the farmer, by bringing to him scientific agri- cultural teaching in the form of neighborhood short courses and farmers institutes, and by demonstrating in his own community and on his own farm better methods of production on a practical scale. He sees this influence about to reach the women of the State through the activities of a system of house- hold teaching much the same in character as that supplied the farmer. He sees it reaching the young people of the country and city through the training of its students for industrial teaching in special courses planned to serve this end. He sees it co-operating with the State Board of Education in giving a country life trend to our instructors in the rural schools of the State. He sees it touch in one way or another every class in the community. The rural ministers and the ministers from the city alike are more vital and effective from con- tact with the influence of the Agricultural College. Every man and woman is the stronger for its help and influence — the men and women who build our roads, who do our banking, who till our farms, who keep our households, who train our children, who make our laws, who minister to our spiritual and physical needs — every one, indeed, who is concerned with the community 27
