PROMINENT FARMER ADDED TO LIST
OF EXTENSION WORKERS.
The M. A. C. Association of N o r t h e r n California
was organized at a meeting of former students held
in the Hotel Sutter, San Francisco, Dec. 4th. The
meeting was very successful, and included a good
dinner, renewing of old acquaintances, and election
of officers. The officers for the ensuing year a r e :
Prof. A. J. Cook, '62, president; E. Carl Bank, '84,
vice president; G. H. Freear, ex-'lO, secretary-treasurer, and H. E. Van Norman, '97, member of executive board. Regrets were received from the following M. A. C, people who were in this t e r r i t o r y but
were unable to be present: L. C. Bartmess, '89; J.
M. Bidwell, TO; J. E. Blanchard, '68; E. H. Bradner,
'69; Prof. A. J. Cook, '62; F . C. Davis, '86; H. H.

A monthly luncheon meeting was decided upon,
to be held i n S a n Francisco the last S a t u r d a y of
each month, in order to encourage more fraternal
feeling amongst the members. A hearty welcome
is extended to all, and it should be considered a duty
for every member to a t t e n d if possible. Members
will be notified in regard to the place for such meetings.
Temporary h e a d q u a r t e r s were decided upon as t h e
office of George H. Freear, 424 Holbrook Bldg., 58
Sutter St., San Francisco, where a register will be
kept, and all M. A. C. people visiting t h e city will
kindly m a k e it their business to register.
The following resolution was adopted, which is of
considerable interest to all M. A..C. people who contemplate m a k i n g a trip to t h e Pacific coast next
year: " T h e M. A. C. Association of N o r t h e r n California is of the opinion t h a t the most desirable time
to hold the California reunion of the M. A. C. Assocation will be about t h e time of the m e e t i n g of t h e
American Association for the Advancement of Science, which is to be held in San Francisco the week
beginning August 2, 1915."
J a m e s N. McBride, former'president of State F a r m ers' Clubs, and prominent farmer of Owosso, h a s
been chosen as special investigator on m a r k e t i n g and
organizer of the bean growers of Michigan. Mr. McBride will be engaged for the next three m o n t h s in
interesting bean growers of the state in a n association t h a t will have for its purpose the collection
of data r e g a r d i n g acreage and production of beans,
and m a r k e t conditions, so t h a t a schedule of prices,
to be in effect during the m a r k e t i n g season, may be
a r r a n g e d with the Michigan Bean Jobbers' Association, and t h u s do away with the fluctuating m a r k e t
conditions in regard to this most i m p o r t a n t crop.
It has been said that t h e bean m a r k e t has been
steadied already on account of the activity in this
work, and there should be decidedly p e r m a n e n t and
far reaching results growing out of this investigation.

MORE COLLEGE SPIRIT AMONG ALUMNI.
"Dear RECORD Editor:
"In a recent issue of the RECORD, you asked for
suggestions. In connection therewith, I am inclosing a clipping from our local paper regarding the
celebration at Union last summer.
"In connection with our alumni gatherings, I am
strongly of the opinion that more time should be
given to the same and not try to sandwich it in with
the Commencement Day.
"I would also suggest that some action be started
to create more enthusiasm or so-called college spirit
among the returning alumni; grotesque parades, etc.,
etc. It may be that it will not be possible to do anything along this line immediately but I think that
it is well worth serious consideration.
"Very truly,
"L. C. BROOKS, '92,
"Schenectady, N. Y."
The clipping referred to is a notice of an alumni
dinner, providing a place where the alumni not attending reunion dinners can mingle. It is planned
by the graduate council and has proven popular, 140
alumni having attended the one in question, which
was the second one of its kind.
MORE OF SUCH SUPPORT NEEDED.
Dear RECORD:—I am very glad to see that you are
making an effort for Miles-Fairchild paintings.
When you asked for subscriptions for the Kedzie
and Beal paintings I was very glad to contribute.
Kedzie was my best friend while I was a student,
and Beal has been my personal friend more than
a third of a century, though he is one of the younger
men, and did not come to the college until long after
my time. I enclose check, and will send another if
needed.
I regard Dr. Miles as the pioneer of real scientific
agriculture in America. He was the first of American scientists to make a study of the metabolism
of animal nutrition, the first American to construct
a working silo, and the best instructor under whom
a student ever worked. While in his class in "practical agriculture" during my senior year I worked
hard, and knew I was doing good work with him,
but when he gave us our grades at the end of the
semester and gave me only 7.5 I was thoroughly
disgusted with him—but forgave him when I found
that my grade was the highest in the class. His
grading shows that the class of '68 was a brilliant
lot of men. He was the only professor with whom
I ever had any trouble, but I avenged his "injustice"
by helping to duck him in the black muck out in
No. 9 one afternoon while the class was working
there under his personal supervision. He was a
very quick tempered man, but the ducking was too
much for him, and he took it like a lamb. . Eight
years later I met him in Philadelphia, when he
laughed at me about the "accident," and took me
over to the French consulate to have a bottle of
wine with him. And I would tell more stories of
him if the RECORD had space.
Fairchild won my undying fealty when he gave
me my entrance examination in 1866. I had gone
to the college only to take special work for one year,
and so Tiad expected no examination and had made
no preparation, but he told me that I must at least
pass for the prep, class, and that I should report to
him an hour later. I knew I could pass for a prep,
and reported without fear. He began with arithmetic—which was easy, then algebra, in which he
was careful to ask me nothing difficult, then geometry, and I shall never forget that part of the test.
5
He gave me two or three simple theorems to demonstrate, and then one a bit more intricate, but which
I thought was easy, and it was easy until I was
about half way through the demonstration, when I
was "up against it" for fair. I had no idea what
I was trying to, or how to do it, and he sat there
looking at me with the most quizzical expression I
have ever seen. I looked at him, and at my figure
on the blackboard—and then looked at both of them
several times. And then the inspiration came—I
added another line to my incomplete figure and completed the demonstration. He smiled very broadly
—for him—and said: "That is sufficient, Mr. Tracy.
I think you will do best if you enter as a regular
sophomore." He was surely good to me, and I want
to thank him in the only way possible. He was the
most finished scholar we had in the college, and
those of us who knew him personally, and those
who know his work, will be glad to honor his
memory.

At the December student pay day, 450 college students received a total of $3,500 for t h e i r work t h e
last half term. The remarkable t h i n g about this is
that nearly half the m e n in college have been t h u s
aiding in the cost of their college Course. I t is
estimated t h a t $10,000 is paid out annually a t t h e
college for student labor, t h e average price per hour
being close to twenty cents.
One-week short courses will be given this week
at Ray Center, Jasper, Saginaw, a n d Quincy. O. E.
Robey, A. R. Potts, and Ashley Berridge will have
charge of t h e school at Ray Center; C. L. Brody,
Wade Weston, a n d Robey at Jasper; W. F . Raven
and J. W. Chapin at Quincy; E. P . Robinson and
C. W. Waide at Saginaw. I n the last two schools,
the college h a s t h e co-operation of t h e county agents,
Chapin a n d Robinson.
In the Michigan Alumnus for December, in a
write up entitled, "A Review of the 1914 Football
Season," there appears the following very fair account of t h e Michigan-M. A. C. g a m e : " I n t h e game
against M. A. C , at Lansing, Michigan met a very
worthy foe, and was very glad to come home with
a victory. The Aggies, i t m u s t be confessed, outplayed Michigan, a n d probably nothing but t h e call
of time kept them from scoring a touchdown at the
end of t h e first half."
Prof. Morgan, in charge of the Department of Rural
Organization at Amherst, Mass., talked before Prof.
Rhyder's class n e a r t h e close of t h e last term. This
department goes out into rural communities, calls
a m a s s meeting a n d t h e people of t h e community
vote on some one or two phases of r u r a l betterment
t h a t they wish t o t a k e up the next year. If it is t h e
improvement of live stock, for instance, then the
m a t t e r is t u r n e d over to the live stock department
of the college a n d they handle t h e situation.
The week before school closed last term t h e M. A.
C. girls h a d a Christmas party in t h e gymnasium.
Each girl contributed a small amount of money,
which was turned over to the Salvation Army. A
Christmas tree and class stunts were the feature
of the evening. Of t h e latter, the baby show by t h e
freshmen a n d the new song, the words and music of
which were composed by t h e seniors, were most
prominent. T h e seniors sang t h e song from the balcony a n d then threw down printed copies t o the rest,
and all joined, in the learning. Then again, on t h e
last Thursday night, with candles lighted in the
dining room, the song was rehearsed with much
enthusiasm.
