T H E GRADUATING CLASS OF 1 9 I O .

COMMENECMENT.

JUNE 21-ARMORY.

The Fifty-second Annual Com­mencement was held in the College Armorv, June 21, at 10:00 a . m . T h e capacity of the building was taxed to the utmost, and many peo­ple were obliged to stand. Shortly after 10 :oo the march began, and the class, in caps and gowns, filed in and occupied seats which had been reserved for them. The day was intensely hot, but the large audience paid the best of attention, apparently anxious to catch every syllable uttered by the speaker of the day.

In introducing Dr. Angell, Presi­dent Snyder referred to the fact that 39 years ago the commence­ment address at M. A. C. was given by a young scholar, then just called to the presidency of our university, an'd said " we are proud today to welcome once more, and upon a like occasion, Dr. Angell ." The applause which greeted this intro­duction lasted for several minutes, and showed that " A prophet is not without honor in his own country."

W e regret that yye were unable to secure a copy of the address in full, but give the following extracts of his address on " T w o Ideals of Life :" '

" T w o different walks of life have been cherished," he said. "Accord­ing to one, man is the king of crea­tion and dominates nature. He is to make circumstances bend to his will, to be a virile, independent, personality. According to another ideal, man must adapt himself

wisely to circumstances and con­form to the conditions of his exist­ence. It is easy to overstate the advantages Of either alone."-

T h e speaker then proceeded to discuss the respective advantages of each and then passed to the applica­tion of the principles announced— to the conditions of life at present. T w o salient characteristics of this era were noted. " O n e is the un­precedented activity and magnitude of business enterprises. The other is the remarkable scientific progress which lays an imperative demand upon every man who expects to be a leader in scientific work to be thoroughly trained for his task. T o meet this requirement, one must have four qualities : First , untire-ing modesty; secondly, capacity" for g r o w t h ; thirdly, perseverance in one's plan for life work ; fourthly, pure and noble character."

Dr. Angell went on to say that : " T h e need of these traits is vastly important for those who are to be leaders in agricultural pursuits and for those who are to engage in en­gineering. The wise combination of the two ideals first described is. an essential to a successful career in either vocation."

Such a combination was com­mended to the graduating class and the speaker appealed to them not to be afraid to face the storms of op­position when moral issues are at stake. The speaker added : " T h e men whom the world has admired are not those who have been pliant to every wave of public opinion, but men like John Huss, Martin Luther and St. Paul , who have faced peril and death in the defense of the high­

est truth. Loyalty to truth is the supreme duty to our souls. For it, we are to live. For it we are, if need be, to die."

Following is the outline program as carried out and names of those to receive degrees :

TH E fifty-second commence­ment, as well as the sixteenth

triennial reunion of alumni, are now history. In this issue of the RECORD is published a list of those who were here for the reunion, and all seemed to thoroughly enjoy the occasion.

There are at least two regrets on the part of the RECORD. One is the fact that there was no picture taken of the crowd as they weje assembled in the pavilion during the alumni dinner. It was under­stood that there would be, but through some misunderstanding that, to us, important part of the program was omitted. Those who were unable to be with us would have, we are sure, appreci­ated something of the kind.

It was also the intention of the RECORD to publish the complete address of Dr. Angell, but inas­much as a copy was not forthcom­ing, we have had to be content with extracts. The same is true of the programs of the various meetings, and we have done the best we could in the way of sum­mary.

There was one feature in con­nection with each program which received much favorable com­ment, and justly so. The ar­rangement for music had been left entirely with Prof. A. J . Clark, and he fully demonstrated his ability to handle this important work. The complete success of any program depends, in a very great measure, upon the music, and that furnished by the orches­tra under the direction of Prof. Clark was all that could be desired.

T h e reception tendered the grad­uating class by President and Mrs. Snyder on the evening of June 20 was a most enjoyable affair. Those in the receiving line were President and Mrs. Snyder, Dr. f. B. Angell, Dr. W. 1. Peal. Dean Gilchrist. Prof, and Mrs. \V. P . Parrows. William ( j . May. president of the senior class, and Miss M. E . John­son, vice president of the class. Those who assisted in the par­lors were, Mrs. H. K. Vedder. Mrs . A. R. Sawyer, Mrs. Lan-don, Mrs. T . C." Blaisdell. Mrs . H. J . Eustace, and Mrs. J . F . Baker. T h e parlors were decorated with palms, ferns and cut tiowers. In the dining room the chief decora­tion was sweet peas. Refreshments were served by the Misses Ethel Taft, Irma Bissell, Marv ISla^ded. and Katherine Vedder. Japanese-lanterns were hung on the lawn, making a very pretty sight. A Lansing orchestra furnished the music.

Miss Agnes Crumb, and Miss Helen Michaeledes presided at the punch bowl.

BACCALAUREATE.

Dr. Charles PL Peale, of Milwau­kee, gave a splendid address to the-graduates and friends on Sunday, June i, on the subject, " Endow­ment and Achievement." The seniors in caps and gowns made an impressive sight as they marched into the armory and occupied seats reserved for them. The sermon dealt much with college life and ideals. Dr. Peale was a former Lansing pastor, and many of his old friends were present to hear him. Rev. Goldsmith read the scripture lesson, and Rev. W . A. Minty, of Pilgrim church offered prayer. Mis> Esther Phillip's solo, " fesus Lover of My Soul," was greatly appreciated, as was Miss Hapson's work as accompanist. The M. A . C chorus furnished excellent music. Dr. Peale's text was from 2 T im. 1-6, and he said in pa r t :

"Each of us has a certain endow­

ment, a particular gift, a special apt­ness in some direction as a result of the mysterious operation of the laws of heredity. A man's gift makes a place for him and deter­mines his vocation. His first busi­ness in life is to work out that which was wrought into him, so to develop and train his peculiar pow­ers that he shall do his particular work effectively and beautifully, bringing intelligence, earnestness and enthusiasm to his task.

"Eeyond the performance of his special task is the duty of creating an atmosphere. The work of such an institution as this should be not only to fit a man to do his own in­dividual work, but to enable him to enter into the vaster realms of na­ture, the larger thoughts of men, the broader currents of life, and the complex relations of things. This is what we call culture. It is to our specific work what overtones are to the dominant tone, giving depth and richness. As he goes from the school into the world the student should not allow the pressure of the daily task so to absorb his attention that the wider interests of intellect and soul are neglected. It is unfortunate for one to be born a man and die a mechanic.

" But beyond calling and culture there is the primary consideration of character. T h e successful com­pletion of a college course implies the possession of the gift of purpose, the appreciation- of plan, order, pro­portion and obedience to law and constituted authority which lie at the base of character. The world expects that the college man will have not only knowledge and technical skill, but poise self-control and the ability to project his per­sonality along the line of some chosen purpose that shall have the full approval of intellect, conscience and heart.

" Student life iii class, in athletics, in social groups and in the institu­tion as a whole reveals the need and value of living and working to­gether and so develops the gift of cooperation. Everywhere the val­ue of team-work is emphasized to­day. In one's vocation he does not labor independently. Individual work is a part of the world's work. T h e value of what each man does depends upon what his neighbor does. The success of your fellows depends upon your ability to play

into their hands. Each must know-something of the whole game and be in sympathy with his comrades.

" T h e same is true with culture and character, and the recognition of this is what makes ours a social age. The good man is the socially alive and efficient man. Goodness grows more complex and calls for wider outlooks, a larger intelligence and a developed moral sense. Nothing short of an intelligent, de­liberate, active good will toward all whom we may in any manner affect by our conduct, and hearty co­operation -with all who are trying to promote the welfare of humanity can be accepted as the standard of responsibility in these stirring times;"

In his address President May re­viewed the successes as well as the failures of the class during the four years, and mentioned a few initia­tives taken by the class, prominent among which was the caps and gowns worn for the first time by the class of 1910. While regret­ting to leave the college and the friends made while here, he wel­comed the future, as he believed it held much in store for those who were about to graduate.

The historian referred to the time when many of the class were " Preps , " and how they chose class caps, arranged for the J . Hop , and various other things, besides1 form­ing a very definite idea as to how the college should be run. Mr. Pabcock laid particular stress (justly) upon the strong showing the class had made in athletics. They were the instigators of " cap night," their's was the greatest J . Hop. ever held, etc., etc.

The class prophecy was unique, taking the form of a visit between H u g h Lynch and Nellie Pangs, and many and various were the occupa­tions the class were engaged in.

J . Conely De Camp read the last will and testament of the class, and it was written in "Con ' s" usual happy style. In his opening speech he said: " T o the class of 1911, the board of agriculture, the presi­dent and faculty, our guests and all who have labored so hard to make this, our funeral, one justly to be proud of, we return thanks." Each class was willed certain definite privileges by the graduating class, the preps, being consoled by the re­mark that they were to receive whatever was remaining after the other classes had been taken care of.

Most excellent music was fur­nished by the M. A. C. orchestra.

A t the close of the exercises com­mencement day about 200 persons enjoyed commencement lunch in the Women's Building. President Snyder acted as toastmaster, and the following responded to toasts : Dr. W . J . Pea l ; P . P . Woodworth, '86 ; Ray Stannard Baker, '89, and Dr. Angell.

T h e M. A. C. RECORD. 3

ALUMNI LITERARY EXER­CISES.

ARMORY—JO A. M., JUNE 22.

In his opening address Pres . Car­penter mentioned the fact that M. A. C. was now a constitutional in­stitution. While before it was in a large measure a legislative school, it was now an institution for the people. This action surely ex­presses satisfaction with the pro­gress of the school. This meeting, said Judge Carpenter, should be one of peace and not of trouble. T h e graduates should be drawn closer together by reason of these meet­ings and become more and more loyal to M. A. C. W e can help make this institution famous. Let us do it.

Chas. W . Garfield, '70, is always given a hearty welcome by M. A. C. audiences, and that given him Wednesday was no exception. He said it was a great pleasure to meet his brothers and sisters, and as he would much rather do this than make a speech the oration would be short.

In the " Moral Quest " of today, attention was called to the realm of business. Property should be recognized as a trust from the Creator's storehouse and the obliga­tion to make it of the greatest possi­ble value to mankind. Fortune that is made by levying tribute through unfair competition, unjust laws, or over-charging for sevice, is no more honestly acquired than the booty of the brigand or the spoil of the privateer. Yet many such men acquire the reputation of being smart business men. Is it not in the line of our duty to openly de­nounce business practices which may bring in large incomes, but which have a tendency to lower the business and conscience of commun­ity. In the realm of literature, the poem, the essay, the painting, the piece of sculpture, the charm of oratory, the instinct of landscape art, lose the intrinsic element of beauty unless somewhere and some­how there can be applied to them in the estimate of their value the meas­ure of-human betterment.

The realm of agriculture is a fer­tile area in which to delve in our moral quest. Man acquires what we term a title to a small section of the earth's surface. T h e title, how­ever, has not passed from God. A proper abstract would still ac­knowledge the real ownership in Him.

In closing Mr. Garfield said : • 'The value of our educational equip­ment, finds its surest measure in its intelligent use in the service of 'our fellowmen. This means for you and me a free expression of our ob­ligation to the state for the educa­tion she has given us in terms of the best service we can render to the ultimate factors of the stated— the people.

Guy L. Stewart, '95, who was to furnish the "His tory ," was unable to be present.'

The necrology was ably handled by Scott B. Lilly, '07. In his open­ing address, Mr. Lilly said: " I t is my sad duty to call your attention to changes not less apparent to many of^us than the presence of a new building. I would have you remember those of our number, and those others intimately associ­ated with our number, who have undergone that greatest of changes ;

who have ceased their activities here to take up new tasks in an­other sphere."

Following is a list of those who passed away since the last triennial:

Francis C. Hodgman, '62. C. B. Fiske Bangs, '76. William S. Holdsworth, '78. Frank W. Hastings, '79. Thomas E. Dryden, '79. Arthur C. Bird, '83. Harry P. Gladden, '85. Florence Beebe McCue, with '03. Grace Hebblewhite Kenrick, '06. E. E. Bogue, former Professor of For­

estry. Wm. Sayer, assistant in Bacteriology. Lewis McLouth, who introduced en­

gineering into the institution. Charles F. Wheeler, '91, former assist­

ant professor of Botany at M. A. C. Capt. E. P. Allen, of the class of '62,

and for some time member of the State Board of Agriculture.

Fred N. Smith, in college during '76-'78.

Adam M. Groner, '81. H. B. Lazell, with '91. Harold B. Kimball, with '07. Glenn W. Dodge, of '08. F. B. Baker. Chas. W. Waterman and

Guy A. Fuller, with 1910.

The class of 1911 has lost four of its members :

Clarence C. Boyles. J. Edward Coulter. Francis M. Hibbs. Fred C. Jeffery.

In conclusion Mr. Lilly paid a splendid tribute to Mrs . Hannah A. Beal, mentioning her long acquaint­ance, and stated that in the early days of the college she was a mother to the boys, entertaining them when they were well and nursing them when they were sick, and during all the years she held the same place in the regard and esteem of facultv and students.

"All these," said the speaker, "have died as they have lived — worthier of their alma mater, and have matriculated in a higher school where the 'Master of all good work­men has set them a task anew.

" 'And no one shall work for the money And no one shall work for fame, But each for the love of the working And each in his separate star Shall draw the thing as he sees it For the God of things as they are.' "

ALUMNI BANQUET.

A t the close of the exercises in the Armory on Wednesday, the long line of alumni and friends took up the line of march to the Agricul­tural Building where a social hour was enjoyed while the pavilion was made ready for the banquet. I t was indeed an inspiring sight to see the groups gathered around their re­spective class numbers, and indulge in old time yells for the old college.

The souvenir menu programs contained an excellent likeness of Dr . Beal, which called to mind his long years of . service to M. A. C , and the fact that he was so soon to sever his connection, as an active professor, from the institution.

The toastmaster for the day was David Anderson, '89, and a most excellent one he was. He stated that no matter how long we have been away from the institution, it is still ours, and we are always glad to come back home to these reunions.

Pres . Snyder responded to the toast, " T h e College," and mentioned the rapid growth of the institution during the past four years, and the

DR. W. J. BEAL

The man upon whom much honor was conferred at the 16th Triennial Reunion, and who leaves M. A. O. in September, after 4(1 years of service.

demands made upon it. " I t has come to the point," said he, "when we must have good buildings, anil we have in recent vears waited un­til such could be built. W e need the support of the alumni, and we want not only the buildings erected, but the quality of work done to be the pride of those who visit us from time to time. T h e pressing needs are a library, auditorium, gymna­sium, and more dormitory room for both young women and voting men."

In introducing the next speaker Mr. Anderson stated that the first agricultural institution was the Garden of Eden, and it was estab­lished for the benefit of man, but it was found that it was not good for man to be alone. M. A. C. was first established for men, but the mistake was discovered and in '06 the course for women added. He then called upon Mrs . Lucy Clute Wood-worth, '93. Mrs . Woodworth said she was much out of practice in speech making, as " P e t e " did most of the talking, and she had very lit­tle chance. She spoke of the rapid development of the women's course, and that while in her dav the girls took Ag . and Hort . and such work as they could get from the regular courses for men, now the women students had courses in domestic science, domestic art, and rules and regulations laid down for their spe­cial benefit. Mrs. Woodworth was the daughter of Ex-President Clute, and was warmly welcomed by her many friends.

" T h e Engineer" was the toast assigned to Frank Y. Warren . Mr . War ren was glad to note, during his experience as an engineer, that M. A. C. men were perfectly able to make good when working along­side of men from other schools and universities. He paid a fine compli­ment to Profs. Weil and Yedder, who had been instrumental in build­ing up the department, and pledged the support of the alumni engineers to this department at M. A . C.

Judge Collingwood responded to the toast " T h e Old Guard," and, as usual, was given the closest atten­tion throughout. He paid a splen­did tribute to the men who had given the best part of their lives to the work of laying the foundation of an agricultural college. T o Pres . Abbott, Dr. Kedzie, Prof. Fairchild, Dr. Beal, and others, we owe much for the Agricultural Col­lege as it is. Mr. Collingwood's talk was replete with college anec­dotes, and closed with a comparison

of the teacher with that of a mer­cantile career. The former, though a comparatively humble position, is a career in which one can influence* young lives and mould them into better things. Do you believe that John D. Rockefeller has inspired

. the young people of this country as this noble man ( D r . Beal) has done? Do you think that John D. Rocke­feller can lay down his active duties with the satisfaction of work well done as does this teacher? All honor to the man who has for 40 years always influenced for good all with whom he came in contact.

After singing Alma Mater, A . B. Cook, '93, offered the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted :

" Whereas, W e , the Alumni of M. A. C , note with the greatest re­gret the currently reported inten­tion of Dr. W . J . Beal to leave the State of Michigan at the conclusion of 40 years of service of incalculable value to the state and nation, there­fore be it

" Resolved, That we express the regret and sorrow which the thought of the loss of the doctor to the state occasions, as we feel that Dr. Beal belongs to Michigan. We need him. W e love him. W e hope he may consider and abide with us. However, we wish to assure the doctor that the love and admiration of the entire alumni body of M. A. C. is and will always be with him, wherever he may be ."

The alumni then adjourned to the assembly room on the fourth floor of the building, where at a business meeting, the following officers w.ere elected for the ensuing three years :

President—C. B. Collingwood,

V ice Pres .—P. B. Woodworth , 'S6.

Sec. T r e a s . — W . O . Hedrick, '91 .

ENGINEERING MEETING.

The Engineering alumni met in Engineering Hall-at 2 p. m., Tues­day. Dean Bissell called the meet­ing to order, and Prof. Vedder, 011 behalf of the college, extended a hearty welcome. He stated that this was really the first reunion of Engineering alumni ever held here, and that it gave him great pleasure to welcome the boys back, so many of whom he had known personally throughout their entire course. Certain questions are soon to be dis­cussed, and the alumni body will have great weight in settling these. " I am sure," said Prof. Yedder, " that you will act wisely in what­ever comes before you."

Dean Bissell seconded the wel­come given, and asked Prof. Wood-worth, '93, to act as chairman of the meeting. Prof. Bissell then read the report of the advisory committee, which reviewed briefly the history of the Engineering course at M. A. C , and suggested changes which, in the opinion of the committee, would improve the course. The chairman mentioned certain facts concerning conditions in- Chicago which showed that there was a tremendous call for college men.

Pagelson, '89, then explained the situation as a member of the commit­tee, and urged more practical work and less of French, German, etc..and discussed the matter from the em­ployer's standpoint. " T h e college graduate ," said he, "is not fitted for the detail work which he is called upon to do."

Senator A. B. Cook, as a rcpre-

4 The M. A. C. RECORD. sentative of the agricultural course, said that it was -as true with the ags. as with the engineers; that

i it was impossible to treat in a col­lege course the details of every operation, and many things must be learned from practical experience. Do not blame the course if the men who finish are not able at first to handle easily.all the problems which present themselves.

Others who took part in the dis­cussion were D. C. Cole, '93, H . L. Mills, with ' o i , ]as. Taylor, '06,

J . R. McCall, '90, ML S. Baker, 'S9, Gerald Allen, '08, and \V. E. Piper, '07. T h e consensus of opinion seemed to be that men of* ability were being turned out every vear, and that while every member was anxious to improve the course in every way possible, no radical change was necessary. It was moved by Clem Ford that the mat­ter of selecting seven men, who should take necessary steps toward the formation of an engineer­ing alumni association, be left with Dean Bissell and Prof. Yedder.

The meeting then adjourned to the home of Dean and Airs . Bissell, where they were right rovallv en­tertained.

DR. E. A. BESSEY.

Dr. Ernst A. Bessey, of the Lou­isiana State University, has been elected to the position of Professor of Botany at M. A. C.

Dr. Bessey, is thirty-three years old, married, and has one child. He is a graduate of the classical course of the University of Ne­braska, A. B., 1S96; A. M. 189S, and in June, 1904, completed the work for which he received the Doctor's Degree ( P h . D.) from the University of Halle, Germany. He reads French, German, Span­ish, Italian, Swedish, Dutch and Russian, in addition to the usual Latin and Greek of the classical course in college, and is personally familiar with much of the stand­ard botanical literature in these languages. His college and uni-Versity preparation in botany cov­ered general botany, cytology, his­tology, embryology, vegetable physiology and pathology, and sys­tematic botany, the latter including a familiarity with the lower as well as the higher plants (especially the fungi and grasses.) In 1902 he was sent abroad, where he traveled ex­tensively for the department in Eu­rope (including Russia and the Cau­casus region), Central Asia and Northern Africa.

In 1908 he was elected to the professorship of botany and bacteri­ology in the Louisiana State I ni-versitv at Baton Rouge, and re­signed his connection with the de­partment of agriculture. He taught, also, the classes in botany and zool­ogy in the summer school for teachers at the University in June and July, 1909. His earlier experi­ence in teaching includes three sum­mers as laboratory assistant:" in the Colorado Summer School of Sci­ence, Philosophy and Language, in 1894, 1S95 and 1S96.

Dr. Bessey is a son of C. E. Bes­sey, '69, of Nebraska.

1910 BASE BALL TEAM.

At the close of the spring term, Mrs . Robson was presented with a handsome silver berry spoon by her sophomore German class, as a token of appreciation of her work as an instructor.

THE YEAR IN ATHLETICS.

T h e past year has been, on the whole, the best the college has ever enjoyed. The schedules contained in all sports many of the strongest and best of the western institutions, and the interest of the college peo­ple and the public was better than in any previous year.

In football the college made a splendid record, losing only to Notre Dame, the western champion, and winning from Marquette, Wabash, Olivet, M. I. A. A. champions and other strong western teams, and in the final reckoning was given a place with the three or four strong­est western teams.

The basket ball team won the state championship. The interscho-lastic was larger and better than in any previous year.

The baseball team, although made up almost entirely of young­sters, was the strongest that has represented the institution in many years. Ex-Capt . Mills is the only player lost by graduation. The other men awarded monograms for the season are Capt.-elect Orr, Capt. Baker, Cortright, Rains, Harvey, Weston, Pattison and T e Rollen

The track team was the best that ever represented the institution. Seven varsity records, more than in any five previous years, were broken. Big Campbell put the shot 41 ft.. Lord raised the high jump to 5 ft. 11 !8 in., Yosper the hammer to 126 ft., Blue the discuss to 113 ft. 8 in., while Shaw, the star find of the year, set the pole vault at 11 ft. 3 in., high hurdles at 15 4-5 sec , and low hurdles at 26 2-5 sec. The team won from Olivet and Alma, the two leading M. I. A. A., col­leges, by a big score, and finished second to Notre Dame, which team afterward won the western cham­pionship in the Notre Dame-Ar-mour-M. A . C. meet.

T h e support given athletics was exceptionally good in all branches ; the students were never more loyal, while our Lansing friends turned out better than ever before. The athletic field was improved consid­erably also, during the year about $1,200 being expended in the erec­

tion of a baseball bleacher and other minor improvements.

Although with the class of 1910 finished several of M. A. C.'s great­est football players, prospects for next fall are fairly bright. T h e schedule is especially inviting, Alma, Lake Forest University, Notre Dame and Wabash coming to M. A. C , while Michigan at Ann Ar­bor, Marquette at Milwaukee, and Olivet at Olivet are the important games away from home. Wi th the change in rules which promises to make the game safer and more in­teresting for spectators, good things are looked for with the opening of next year.

STUDENT NIGHT.

T h e " C a p Night , " on the eve­ning of June 16, marked the begin­ning of the week's festivitiesJat M. A. C., and was a decided success. T h e classes were grouped in front of Wells Hall at about 7 130, and with various class songs, yells, and music announced that there was to be "something doing." T h e seniors, for the first time in the his­tory of the college, appeared in the cap and gown, and led the pro­cession, the other classes following in order to the Women 's Building, where a serenade with fireworks was given. T h e senior girls ap­peared in their caps and gowns ; the juniors all wore white sweaters, while other classes were designated by the regulation colors. The classes marched between aisles of fire works to where a huge bonfire had been built in the center of the ampitheatre west of the drill ground, and, marching around the fire, selected positions in a great circle.

G. L. Dimmick, '11, very ably-acted as master of ceremonies, and the whole performance was carried out without a hitch or jar. An elec­tric banner had been constructed over the platform, and was so ar­ranged that the numerals of each of the four classes could be flashed at will and the effect was certainly very pleasing.

A. L . Campbell, of the senior class, addressed the freshmen, P . I. Allen responding. "Scotty" Orr, president of the sophomores, spoke

for his class, and G. H . Colling-wood represented the juniors and addressed his remarks to the preps., John C. Allerdyce responding.

The big banner was then pre­sented by W . G. May, representing the senior class, to the juniors, repre­senting the passing out of the senior class and the change to seniority on the part of the juniors. C. W. Mc-Kibbon, the junior class president, accepted the banner for his class. As the banner was presented a frame work previously constructed on north side of the ampitheatre, and bearing the numerals 1910-1911 in fire works, was set off and made a very pretty sight with the colored fires.

Everybody, including "Fa t , " was obliged to sacrifice something (?) An altar had been placed near the fire, and upon this representatives of the various departments placed the books which had been troubling them for so long. A copy of each of the following books was consigned, covered with brimstone and "fired :" T h e Boston Cook Book, Feeds and Feeding, Trees of Nor th America, and Mechanics of Engineering. Following this ceremony the fresh­men and preps danced around the fire in their night robes and tossed their caps into the flames.

T h e anvil chorus deserve special praise for their music. The quar­tet were J . W . Applin, J . A. Hol-den, R. E . Brightup and E. C. Sauve. Their song, "Good Bye Seniors," was especially good, and certainly well appreciated by the crowd.

The juniors did themselves proud in the planning and execution of the program. A goodly number of our Lansing friends were present to enjoy the ceremonies. The even­ing's festivities ended by giving rous­ing cheers for everybody and the old college.

A ball game was played on Tues­day afternoon, June 14, between members of the faculty and sub-faculty, the latter winning the game, 12-8. Batteries for faculty, Shaw and Brewer ; for instructors, John ­son, Robinson, and Crow. Every­body hit the ball, thus giving ample opportunity for the excellent field­ing which was done by both teams.

SOME REGRETS.

Members Of Class '&2, M. A. C Greeting : We cannot be with you in person,

but we are with vou in spirit and feelings. Since graduating -8 vears a^o. we farmed three years: taught school three years in Iowa: taught in years at Superior. W i s . : for 12 years -have been with this company in commission advertising. During the past six years have had charge of the big store in New York City, am now in charge at Minneapolis, and have the northwest under our supervision. \ \ e are bus\ as a boy killing snakes, yet have time to greet all M: A. C. men, and especially all M. A. C. men with the brand of "S2. -During the past year have met C. W . Gammon, of '79, in New York ; L. 13. Hall, '82, of Grand Rapids, and W . E . Hale, of Eaton Rapids, Mich. W e have pictures of all the class of '82, but of Beaumont, Murphy, Millspaugh and Shelton.

With most cordial greeting to all M. A. C. men and the faculty.

Storrs, Conn., June 10, 1910. Having been present at the organi­

zation and all but four subsequent meetings of the Alumni Association, I deeply regret that I cannot be with you at the coming reunion. All the more because 1 am person­ally acquainted with all but one who take active part in the exercises. It would be great pleasure to meet Dr. Beal again before he closes his labors with the old college. His services did not begin till after my student life closed, but my long ac­quaintance with him makes him seem to me the same as the others with whom I associated as a student, and who labored so long and faith­fully for the old institution. I shall be with you in spirit, and send cordial greetings to old friends and associates, and promise that a strong effort shall be made to be present at the next reunion.

Yineland. Kansas. June 13, 1910. Your card, inviting me to the

16th triennial of M.-A. C. Alumni. is at hand. Many thanks for your remembrance of me in such connec­tion. I am wondering how I should feel among so many of the craduates of M. A. C. which will be present on the occasion, all of whom are doubtless strangers to me, and the surroundings would be quite strange. It is now forty-two years since I met a soul (excepting

my late brother, E. P . Allen) that was connected with M. A. C. in any capacity while I was there. There is probably very little left of what I knew of M. A. C. forty-two years ago.

New associations, new cares, new aspirations take the place of the past and passing, and so, though I am getting along in years, I am neither lonely nor idle.

Many wishes for good works and true on the part of M. A. C. Hearty congratulations to you and to all, and especially any who may inquire after me.
