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 .

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.

HARVEY, Coach, CHESTER Mrrci-1ELL. The Livestock Judging Team HE Livestock Judging Team representing the School of Agriculture this year i-H-was composed of three seniors and an intermediate. The seniors were Archie Bjornberg, Martin Dankers and Chester Mitchell. Martin Pautsch was the mem- ber from the intermediate class. A. L. Harvey of the Animal Husbandry Division, with the assistance of N. N. Allen of the Dairy Division on Dairy cattle, coached the team. The team placed third in the sub-collegiate livestock judging contest held in con- nection with the Mid-Winter Shows at Crookston, Minnesota, in competition with seven other teams from schools of agriculture in Minnesota, South Dakota, North Dakota, and Canada. Crookston was first, and Manitoba was second. A As a team they placed first in the judging of hogs, third in horses and dairy cattle, sixth in beef cattle and seventh in sheep. Martin Pautsch made the best individual record of those on the team. He was 4th individual and won the gold medal for being the best judge of hogs. The trip to Crookston was made by car. In this way it was possible to stop at Fargo, North Dakota, where two days were spent to very good advantage in practice judging. A total of twenty-six classes, which included hogs, horses, sheep, beef cattle and dairy cattle, were judged during that time. In going by car the team had an op- portunity to become better acquainted with the Agricultural College of a sister state and with farming conditions in the great Red River Valley. -A. L.
