The Caleb Dorr Scholarships were awarded at that time, as now, but they are necessarily very limited. Forming a group with a definite purpose that would promote incentive for superior scholarship and maintain the student interest was the proposal adopted. Eligibility rating comprises 90W on scholarship and 10123 on activities. Scholarship alone does not constitute a satisfactory goal in our great struggle for an education. However, basic importance must be attributed to this phase of learning, as this is a sound basis for judging ability and application. Outside activities do play an important role in shaping these qualities that make for individual endeavor, social con- tact and leadership. E Membership in the society is divided into active and associate groups. Active mem- bership comprises the 152, of highest standing in the Senior and Intermediate classes at the end of each school year. All in this group are permanent members. The highest SW, Freshmen and 10'Zy Juniors each quarter are the associate members. The purpose of the Honor Scholarship Society is to foster a higher standard of scholarship and all around attainment on the part of the students of the School of Agriculture. Hence the members of this association shall not only be good students, but .6 Z A K w R Z W Z A Z A A 4 2. T V Z 9 2 9 21 shall devote some time and thought to extra-curricular activities, and shall uphold the high traditions of the school for both scholarship and conduct. V -WALTER SWENSON.

The 4-H Club EAD, Heart, Hands, and Health, these are the four characters represented in the 4-H Club, a nationwide organization of rural boys and girls. It is a division of the United States Department of Agriculture Extension Division and is sup- ported under the Smith-Lever Act. The work is carried on through locally organized units. The aim of the 4-H Club is to teach farm boys and girls better ways of farming and home making. There are various projects in livestock and grain enterprises for the boys and projects in gardening and home economics for the girls. In working out these projects both boys and girls acquire higher standards for farm work and a happy interest in the home life on the farm. They also learn to work in harmony with other people, which makes for better citizenship. A The School 4-H Club endeavors to bring to the students interested in this Work suggestions that will help them in carrying on the work of the 4-H Clubs in their home communities. A program for the meetings of each term is outlined by a committee. The topics for discussion this year are organization, programs, follow-up work, finish-up, and special club events. Three or four members appear on the program at each meeting to discuss briefly their experiences on the topics. A member of the state staff is always present to speak and present new ideas. -ESTHER PETERS. 'A 'TH-T ' ' i '-' '- i?11 TTY' 'A ' TT? 'TTT' ll,f,f 1J QA. Page N inety-Iwo

It is organized for the purpose of promoting that industry and of helping to broaden 3 l the student's viewpoint and to help make him a more eflicient handler of livestock. The club meets every two weeks, and at these meetings the members hear the lead- ing men of the livestock and dairy industry. This year the club has been privileged to have speakers from the University staff, noted men from other parts of the state and nation, and men from foreign countries. These men told the members of the club about new methods of livestock care, management, and breeding and in some instances told The Dairy and Livestock Club conducts a judging contest annually, which is open to all members of the club. This year the contest was held on the twenty-third and twenty-eighth of February. On the third of March the annual banquet was held, at which the winners of the school judging contest were announced and the medals, cups and ribbons were presented to them. Allen Baughman was winner of the McCarthy medal as champion general livestock judge, while David Johnson and Ramon Lauder- dale tied for first place in the dairy judging contest. The members of the team that represented the school at the sub-collegiate contest at Crookston also received medals from the club. -FRED BJORNSTAD. A O M ia Z K1 Zi K A r A Z 2 Kf 70 'Z '27 ,Q .
