Er ilk' ri? 'T Dba Yvureau of Guibance anb Hecorbs ri' HE organization known as the Bureau of Guidance and Records was created, upon the recommendation of President Frank, for the purpose of rendering certain definite services to the high schools of the state, to the students in the University and to the faculty of the University. The Bureau has been interested in giving impetus to the establish' ment of guidance in the secondary schools of Wisconsin. Many of the high schools are doing splendidly in this respect. The Bureau has been interested in gathering information about the members of the student body in the University and in using this information to interpret individual relationships and institutional responsibilities. Such interpretations have been of help. The Bureau has had a further interest in supplying various departments of the University with information which has been found helpful in rendering better asf sistance to the student body. CHARLES A. SMITH It is the purpose of the Bureau to provide opportunities for students to secure information of an occupational type which will be helpful in giving the individual student a better basis for intelligent decisions with reference to choice of college and election of subjects. The Bureau is essentially a service organization seeking to make it possible for the University to improve the service which it has always rendered effectively to its student membership. F. O.

We read in the national magazines of the various experif mental attempts in many institutions, including our own, to better college education. But just as many articles appear which ridicule these efforts. At home we have a similar situation. The Experimental College is attacked and defended. Leaders in extra-curricular activities are criticized as monopolists. The leaders, worried and distracted by clissipating their energies in so many direcf tions, hold councils to discuss whether the University is not to blame. All efforts to protect scholastic interests in general and the true interests of the activists in particular by en' forcement of the eligibility regulations are resentfully looked upon as interference with personal liberty and are evacled, if possible. , A boy may develop himself magnificently or he may dwadle and flunk ingloriously in the experimental college, exactly as on the hill. The cultivation of the mind, of selfcontrol, and the attainment of success through these means are just as possible now as at any time in history-and just as difficult., We have more knowledge and more facilities than our predecessors had, and we have proportionately increased distractions and complications. Grit and hard work are just as effective, and ucrabbing' and Hbuckpassingn are just as futile to-day as ever. We are the guides of our own destinies as truly as our pioneer forefathers were. Let's prove our worth, as they did. wi' r +'t.1-'l'- .' ,fri .4-F A-15,5 ' is-- -. ... :ef S7 u-.4 ..,.. -. in. -1- i'- J ff-3'-15' I 15-J-L'5.: 5 sais.. A, I1 N a few months most of the class of 1919 will cease to be ,EI leading citizens in a college group, and will become undistinguished privates in a new community. Some will welcome this eclipse. Community responsibility in those last college years has devoured all the margin of the timeg they will welcome a life that is less a whirlwind of meetings and appointments and affords a chance for reading and thought. An educated young person has in mind many a visit which she wants to make to the great who are forever spiritually at home to those who seek them in the spacious hospitality ortheir books. And she has some curiosity to look in on herself for a real visit and see what kind of person is at home in her spiritual and intellectual house. , So these inconspicuous years are a test of the college graduates previous education and her chance to establish a mode of life that makes room for adult selffsought education. A small boy in a Kipling story exclaimed, Now I know how to read and 1'll never read again as long as I live. So your alma mater wishes you real satisfaction in the years that will elapse before your world again insists on your being chairman and presidents and directors.

We are committed to a policy of production at a profit, in agriculture as wellas in industry. The most urgent necessity is for farm leaders who can properly interpret the needs of our farming population. V Since the World War We have had well nigh a revolution in our American farm' ing industry. The next twentyfive years promise even greater changes. If the agriculture of tomorrow is to have trained and effective leadership these leaders of the coming decades are now in training in our agricultural colleges. No field of endeavor is offering greater opportunities to ambitious and capable young men With farm backgrounds who are surveying the .horizon to determine where lies their best chance for constructive and satisfying careers. 1911. vfiv i W 7?
