ANNIVERSARY RADIO PROGRAM President Shaw Outlines Progress of College—Rather and Young Speak.

In honor of the anniversary of the Col­lege on May 13 there was a short program sent out by W K A R noting the occasion. It was representative of the alumni and College administration. The following took par t : Acting President Shaw, Dir­ector Ralph Young, Howard C. Rather, '17, Helen Dodge Stack, '11, the varsity quar­tette and the secretary of the M. A. C. Association. Mrs. Stack sang, appro­priately to the season. "In Verdure Clad" from Haydn's "Creation." The quartette furnished the final number on the list and sang "The Hunting Song" from ' 'Robin Hood" ; "Kentucky Lullaby"; and closed with "Alma Mater".

Acting President Shaw's greetings to the alumni follows :

Sixty-seven years ago today the Mich­igan Agricultural College opened its doors with an enrollment of 123 students. Pro­vision for the establishment of the institu­tion had been made by the state constitu­tion of 1850 followed by the necessary leg­islative enactment in 1855. It thus became the first institution of its kind to be estab­lished on the American continent. The earlier years were ones of adversity includ­ing meagre building facilities and equip­ment, very limited financial support and lack of general public approval and support. On the other hand however, during these early years of struggle the small faculty comprised men of splendid scientific train­ing, sterling worth, calm judgment and per­sonalities which left an indelible impression upon the students trained under them. These are some of the reasons why the in­stitution now rests on such a substantial foundation and why its alumni have been so eminently successful.

M. A. C. is pursuing, as ever, its policy of building the super-structure of the tech­

nical training on a broad substantial basis, including both scientific and cultural sub­jects thus recognizing the "liberal" in edu­cation. Adjustments are constantly being made to meet the changing conditions.

Sixty-seven years ago the college land area at East Lansing comprised 676 acres which has been increased to 1220 acres in­cluding the farm, campus, gardens, or­chards, experimental fields, forest nurser­ies and athletic grounds. The lands and buildings are valued at about $3,000,000. Six courses are being offered in place of the one originally. Adapted course revis­ions are being put into effect. The enroll­ment of regular students exceeds that of other years. The graduate school number­ing over fifty ranks among the leaders of the land grant colleges. The institution never had a stronger or more efficient in­structional stff. P>oth research and exten­sion organizations have recently been most highly commended by federal inspectors.

Both men and women student bodies have become highly satisfactory self-gov­erning organizations with enviable discip­linary records thus far this year maintain-a morale of high status. The wonderful campus was never more gorgeously beau­tiful than this spring. The spirit of dem­ocracy still lives and guides and directs, and the athletic fighting spirit has become a reality again. In view of all these and many other favorable conditions the in­stitution with its magnificent income is set with sails unfurled full against the breeze headed toward goals of greater influence and usefulness.

The welfare of any educational institu­tion is largely dependent on the sympa­thetic interest and support of its alumni. Frequent visits are necessary to maintain an intimate contact as changes in organi­zation, personnel, equipment, facilities and

Page Four The M. A. C. Record

courses are continually occurring in the or­dinary steps of progress.

It is our most earnest wish that both alumni and friends alike keep in intimate touch with the work and progress of M. A. C. that they may aid in giving to the institution the modest publicity it so well deserves.

Therefore, the State Board of Agricul­ture, administrative officers and faculty of the Michigan Agricultural College are es­pecially glad, on this occasion, to extend to alumni and friends of the college a most hearty welcome, upon their return at any time.

Part of the address of Howard Rather, " i / , follows:

I do not believe that M. A. C. ceased to function with graduation of the class of 1917. The student body is no larger now than it was then, to be sure. Neither have our banners flown quite so proudly over the gridiron. But the service for which this institution was founded has reached out and directly influenced more people in the past ten years than it had in all its previous history. M. A. C. is not con­fined to East Lansing. Her campus stretches out to every county and town­ship in the state, and to every home that would use her service. Not merely 1600 students enrolled in East Lansing consti­tute her student body, but more than 580, 000 attended her 22,000 overstate classes last year.

Such classes get results, too. Practiccal results, economical results. Four years ago Michigan farmers knew little about al­falfa and believed the crop unsafe. To-day, after an intensive M. A. C. educational campaign on alfalfa growing Michigan has become the leading alfalfa state est of the Mississippi, a position that in 1923 alone added seven and one-half million dollars to Michigan's wealth.

M. A. C. engineering alumni are building the great network of highways for which Michigan is famed. They are building her automobiles, designing her buildings and bridges, and winning a reputation for in­

dustry and efficiency that caused one great employer to say that he got his best en­gineers from this institution and one other like it.

That is the M. A. C. of today. It is a growing M. A. C. Its new Science and xA.rts courses open great fields of endeavor. Its campus life, changed some in form, is still permeated with the same spirit, a better spirit under President Shaw today than it has enjoyed for years.

You have heard of the plans President Shaw has been developing for M. A. C. In those plans, he has voiced your ideals and your aspirations for your college. I've talked with scores of Alumni and scores of students and I believe I know what you feel.

Your college has been buffeted by sev­ere tempests. The breakers have not yet been stilled. Would that more of you might be in a position to better know her affairs and needs. Would that a more intimate assication were possible for with your de­votion to M. A. C. ideals, your voice and spirit would unite in backing the course of the constructive leaders here whose practi­cal forward-looking and forward-moving policies for this instituton are born of the same unselfish motves of service as are yours, whose policies, if forwarded, will make "Service and Progress" known all over the country as the watchword of M. A. C.

In the course of his discussion Director Young brought out the history of the de­velopment of athletics, told of the equip­ment of the College for its courses in physi­cal education and intercollegiate competi­tion and called the attention of the alumni to the Michigan football game and dedica­tion of the new stadium on October 11 which will also be the official Homecoming game of the season. He warned his hear­ers that applications for tickets would not be accepted before September 1 and that the number of seats available for that day would be limited, in view of the large crowd expected to attend.

CLASSES PLAN FOR REUNIONS Resident Alumni Take Up Business of Conducting Affairs on June 14.

A few '09'ers of Lansing and East Lan­sing have met and organized into a work­ing group for the purpose of planning and putting "across" in real '09 style our 15th reunion at M. A. C. the coming 14th of June.

Here's the result. Ray Turner is gene-ral chairman. Spurway, Tanner, Fairbanks. Robertson and the Hudson sisters will see that we get "eats" and plenty of them. Hugh Pratt , Art Sargant, Jerry Allen and Lena Smith VanHaltern will plan stunts, so look out. The writer was unlucky enough to draw the chairmanship of the publicity committee, but look—I have Kindig, Les Belknap, " T y " Cobb and Aileen Raynor Atkinson to back me up with my "gift of gab."

Now then, remember June 14th you have a date, you and the family. Face Lansing-ward, put aside financial and political cares and join the old bunch for a "ripping good time."

Olive Graham Bennett, Chairman, Publicity Committe.

Members of the class of 1914 who now make their homes in East Lansing or some of its suburbs met at the Hunt Food Shop for dinner on May 20 and discussed plans for the tenth reunion. Committees were chosen by J. W. Weston, chairman of the tentative committee on arrangements. Frances Kirk Patch, Bertha YanOrden Baldwin, and several others were allowed to take some of the important jobs and given the option of doing the work them­selves or seeing that someone else perform­ed it in their stead. The male element of the class in the surrounding territory was also directed as to the duties expected of it.

One of the features of the reunion will be a class dinner at the Hun t Food Shop on June 14 at 5 :30 o'clock. At this meet­ing prizes will be awarded to the member of the class with the largest family, the one with the least hair, the one who was forced

to exert the most effort to attend the re­union, the one who exerted the least, and other marks of prowess will be recognized. The committee on prizes has entered enough orders to keep one blacksmith shop working overtime. Members of the class will not be allowed to nominate themselves for prizes. Problems concerning the class fund and other matters not quite so ser­ious will be carefully discussed. Those who attended the meeting were : Frances Kirk Patch, Marion Sly Towar, Ove Jen­sen, J. W. and Helen Philleo Weston, J. W. and Mrs. Longnecker, L. T. and Mrs. Dendel, Margaret Holbrook Hartsuch and B. E. Hartsuch, Vera and Mrs. Freeman, R. J. and Mrs. McCarthy.

In a letter signed by E. A. Seelye, F . H. Sanford, C. L. Brody and R. J. Baldwin, the class of 1904 sets forth reasons why all its members should attend the twentieth reunion on June 14. A list of the names and addresses of all the class was sent to each one with instructions to write to the ones they most desired to meet at the re­union.

The following paragraph was included in the letter: "You ought to be here to see all the old bunch. You ought to know M. A. C. as she is today. You ought to know about the big movement under way to put M. A. C. over the top with 3000 students. It would inspire you to see the old campus in its June splendor. It would delight you to see the new buildings and stadium. It would certainly be worth all the effort it would cost you to be here and again be enthused by that old time spirit of M. A. C."

Kathryn Lou Branch, 617 N. Fayette, Saginaw, is in charge of gathering the members of the class of 1923 for their first reunion. Those who have not heard from her in regard to the affair are urged to write to the address given herewith.

VIEWS AND COMMENT

To the one who has made up his mind to forego the pleasures of Alumni Day, to deny himself the privilege of seeing the cornerstone of the new Union Memorial huilding put into place, to walk and talk again on Campus paths, to become more familiar with the physical progress of his alma mater, there is but little argument which now can be offered to convince such a person that the road to East Lansing is the path for him to take on June 14.

The multitude of opportunities present­ed for the benefit of the alumnus cannot all be named for they are often peculiar to the individual. It is planned that there will be a chance for alumni to see and talk t o ' the newly elected president. He has been invited to give a short address at the time of the alumni luncheon. There will be a complete printed report on the affairs of the Union Memorial building fund and the annual report of the secretary of the M. A. C. Association will be given to each one attending the luncheon. All possible will be done at the College to insure an enjoyable day for the visitors with the assurance that it will be possible 1 ) do more in another year when the Union Memorial building should be ready for use.

Alumni Day this year is replete with events and special attractions to all for­mer students and those interested in the welfare of the College. Last year's cele­bration marked a milestone of great im­portance but the one in 1924 brings the institution to the point where its path is leading into an expanded vista of service through fields of prosperity for itself and the educational plans of the state.

Wrought iron gates have been put into prace in the fence around the new stadium and the field is looking its best, grading has been completed (around the Library

and Home Economics building and *the grounds have been cleared of all building materials and other evidences of recent construction which have marked their sur­roundings for the past two years. Work has been started on the new concrete bridge across the Red Cedar where it was dropped last winter. There is but little to say about the Union Memorial building, the only proof of progress necessary is for the per­son interested to visit the Campus. Brick, stone and window frames are in place up to tbe second floor and work is being rushed so that space can be provided for the alumni luncheon. The Campus itself will present a sight well worth the efforts required to make the trip, it is always so in June.

Army inspecting officers made their an­nual visit to the College on May 23 and 24. On the first day of their visit they reviewed the cadet regiment and went through the customary formalities attend­ant upon such an event and on the follow­ing day they looked over the equipment of the department. Col. Sherburne reports that the officers were well pleased with the unit and expects recognition for the College.

Facilities will be provided for the regis­tration of all alumni and former students who return on June 14. The value of do­ing this is two-fold, it helps the alumni office to keep your address correct and because of this information being reliable will keep you in touch with your friends.

Detroit Sororians are planning to visit the College and met with the Lansing girls on Saturday, June 14, which will take the place of the regular monthly meeting in Detroit. Sororian Alumnae wishing to go are asked to communicate with Mrs. James B. Wilkinson, 4224 Glendale avenue, De­troit.

W. K. Prudden, '78, has returned from California and will be present on Alumni Day. He has been assigned the actual work of putting the cornerstone of the Union Memorial building into place. His feat on June 16, 1923, of doing the exca­vating for the ' building recommends hirn for the task on June 14 of this year.

Although the picnic style of lunch which will be served on Alumni Day is not quite so pretentious as other attempts have been it should be satisfying and should fulfill all the expectations of the crowd as a picnic lunch and not as the type the public can get in a first class restaurant with the accompanying service. The price will be one dollar per box, and a box will always hold more than a plate.

FRED HARRINGTON, '84.

The following account of the life of Fred Herrington, '84, is reprinted from a Den­ver, Colo., newspaper:

Fred Herrington, prominent Den­ver cluhman and attorney, died at St. Joseph's hospital Monday morning, May 19, at 5 :30 o'clock. Altho he had hcen ill for six months, his condition did not hecome critical until several days ago.

Born near Pontiac, Mich., sixty-one years ago, Herrington attended the Pontiac high school and later the Michigan Agricultural college, from which he graduated in 1884 with the degree of B. S. After completing his school work, Herrington studied law in the office of his hrother, Cass E. Herrington, who was then practicing at Pontiac.

In 1889 the two brothers came to Denver and opened a law office under the firm name of C. E. and F . Herring­ton. This partnership continued until 1898, when Fred entered the legal de­partment of the Colorado Fuel & Iron company. During his twenty years' connection with this concern he served first as general counsel for the operating department, and then with his brother, Cass, as general counsel for the company.

Herrington was devoted entirely to. his profession and never sought an elective or appointive public office. As an attorney his experience was un-

- usually wide, having tried cases in the courts of Michigan, Colorado, New York, Missouri, Wyoming. Utah, Ari­zona, New Mexico, California and Texas. Herrington also had argued cases before the circuit court of appeal and the supreme court of the United States.

He was a member of the Denver club, the University club, the Denver Country club, and the Denver, Colo­

r e M. A. C. Record

rado and American Bar associations. Beside Cass E. Herrington, he is

survived by three brothers, Thomas, also a Denver at torney; George, of Pueblo, and Samuel of Pontiac, and three sisters, Mary and Florence Her­rington and Mrs. Grace Charles, all of Pontiac.

Interment was at Fairmount cem- • etery.

TAYLOR CHOSEN DEAN OF WASHINGTON ASS'N

The M. A. C. Association of Washing-tno. D. C. held a luncheon meeting at Har­vey's restaurant May 9. The meeting was called to order by the President, H. C. Skeels.

L. G. Michaels of the bureau of agricultural economics and Dr. L. J. Briggs of the bureau of standards, were the speak­ers for the day. L. G. Michaels very in­terestingly told of the meeting of the In­ternational Institute of Agriculure in Rome. Dr. Briggs told of his work at the bureau of standards, and also of the work of some of the other M. A. C. people, in­cluding that of I. T. Fairchilds, and that of H. H. Allen. .

A magazine "American Forest and For­est Life" giving the picture of Dr. Beal was passed about the crowd and it was voted that a letter of greetings be sent to Dr. Beal. Unfortunately this did not reach Amherst before his death.

The Association unanimously voted to make Dr. Wm. A. Taylor the Dean of the Alumni Association.

Those present were : Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Skeels, H. H. Allen, Dr. L. J. Briggs, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. D. Hurd, I J. Fair-child, Dr. L. J. Cole, D. A. Spencer, Mrs. D. A.

Favorable actions was taken on changing the name of the College to Michigan State College at the meeting of the executive committee of the M. A. C. Association on May 21. A committee headed by A. B. Cook, '93, reported that it had received a number of letters favoring the change and that in view of the general sentiment ex­pressed by alumni and students that there should be a name for the College more in­dicative of the work given for the benefit of both the College and the alumni it favored the name recommended by Presi­dent Shaw, "Michigan State College of Agriculture, Engineering, A r t s and Science," with the general understanding that the modifying words would be used on official documents rather than as a direct designation of the College. On motion of Frank F . Rogers, '83, the report of the committee was accepted and the secretary was directed to notify the State Board of the action of the committee.

The secretary was directed to invite Charles W. Garfield, '70, to give a short eulogy of Dr. Beal at the alumni luncheon, he was also instructed to invite President­elect Butterfield to address the alumni for ten minutes at the luncheon and a represen­tative of Pond and Pond to speak for a short time at the ceremony at the laying of the cornerstone of the Union Memorial building.

It was decided by the committee that there should be no general campaign for subscription during the reunion period but that a place be established where new pledges could be signed and payments made. W. K. Prudden was invited to offi­ciate in the actual laying of the cornerstone and the following were invited to act as his official aides: J. W. Beaumont, Mrs. J. W. Beaumont, T. T. Clarke, J. B. Cotton, Henry A. Haigh, W . L. Harvey, H . Jay Hayes, George J. Jenks, Frank S. Kedzie, J. R. McColl, R. B. McPherson, D. E. Bates, C. E. Smith, O. E. Sovereign, Horace Thomas,

The classes of '69, '74, '82, '83, '84, '85, '89, '94, '99, '01, '02, '03, '04, '09, '14, '19, '20, '21, '22, '23 are all due for reunions on June 14 and members of all other classes who take this opportunity to visit the Campus will find many of their friends and classmates. The above list is selected under the Dix plan and on the basis of special reunions every five years. A special effort is made to get the members of these groups back while general inducements are offered the other classes during the years when they do not have regular reunions. There is a good enough selection of classes to insure that everyone returning will find college friends at least, if the proportion of classmates is small.

10 locomotives will take the place of 25

The General Electric Com­p a n y is electrifying the Mexican Railway between Orizaba and Esperanza. On the first section—with many curves and heavy grades — 10 electric locomotives will take the place of 25 steam locomotives. Economies resulting from electrification will repay the cost of the improvement within five or six years.

Electric locomotives draw long trains 650 miles over the Rocky M o u n t a i n s on the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul. Eventu­ally most of the rail­roads in America will be electrified — engi­neers es t imate t h a t this will save more than a hundred mil-liontonsofcoalayear.
