"USE SUMMERS FERTILIZER”Whenever successful Farmers talk Fertilizer one hears, “You can’t go wrong USING SUM­

MERS.’’ “I USE SUMMERS and Play Safe.” “The most for your FERTILIZER DOLLAR.” “SQUARE TREATMENT.” “GOOD SERVICE from an up-to-the-minute organization.”

After TWENTY years of growth SUMMERS is now harvesting its crop of Good Will as these statements, gleaned from our two-year Radio program, testify.

Men tilling the soil for a livelihood, deal in REALITIES. The difference between a bumper Crop and the common, ordinary variety, is a REALITY of the first degree. Using the RIGHT Fertilizer is accepted as the best insurance for a maximum, low cost crop. This explains many of our Radio replies-“I USE SUMMERS and Play Safe.”

Sincere Effort, Knowledge of Requirements, and Adequate Facilities have contributed to our GOOD WILL CROP. To these add an objective, constant for TWENTY years: To manu­facture a Fertilizer whose plant food elements are derived from the finest QUALITY raw materi­als the World affords. For these good reasons Farmers have spoken so well of SUMMERS.

If you will let Results be your Guide, you, too, will USE SUMMERS.

SCHOOL OF EDUCATIONTO OFFER NEW DEGREE

SERVICE to the teachers, schools, and people of the state through the vital processes of the educational

system has been the consistent aim of the University’s School of Education, one of the main administrative divisions of the University. Not only since the establishment of the School as a separate unit in 1930, but ever since 1906, with the establishment of the Department of Education as a main division of the Arts and Sciences College, the aim of co-operating with and improving the public educational system has been fos­tered. Constant progress in meeting the growing and changing needs of the state in this important field has marked the development of the School, youngest member of the University family, under the leadership of Dean Olin S. Lutes.

New DegreeThis year maiks another step forward

in the progress of the School. For many years graduate study in Education has been one of the prominent sei vices avail­able, particularly during the Summer Session, for regular teachers in service desiring to improve their professional efficiency and standing. Such teachers often pursue graduate study toward a Master’s degree during several summer sessions. In many cases, however, the requirements for a regular degree have proven almost insurmountable for such working teachers, particularly with re­spect to the required research thesis. Unable because of teaching duties to attend regular sessions of the University, and ill equipped, often, in the rural sec­tions with literary, educational, or labo­ratory research facilities, such teachers have been forced at times to postpone, sometimes for many years, the receipt of the coveted degree.

The degree, Master of Education, now proposed by the School to replace former degrees of M S. in Education and M.A. in Education, will be designed directly for persons with teaching or school ad­ministration experience; it will, in fact, require at least three years of actual school experience before the degree can be awarded. Planned primarily as a Summer Session degree, the work will not be available for students in the aca­demic year unless they, too, can show the same amount of experience.

Requirements for the new degree in­clude a total of thirty hours of acceptable graduate credit, comprising a minimum of five summer sessions. Of this amount,

two hours of credit must be obtained by the writing of an appropriate paper or essay on some acceptable subject. The usual requirements of an oral examina­tion will be continued and all the work must meet the regular standards of grad­uate level study. In effect, the new de­gree will substitute for the usual reseaich thesis a course paper of graduate study level and two graduate seminar courses.

Dr. Olin S. LutesDean of the School of Education

In conjunction with the new degree, therefore, the School of Education will institute a number of graduate seminar courses into their work during the Sum­mer Session. As an integral part of the Session, the School has borne an increasing share of the responsibility of providing instruction for the teachers of the state.

And Other ServicesIt must not be thought, however, that

the work of the School of Education is entirely, or even in large part, confined to the opportunity to pursue graduate work. The chief aim of the School is to provide training for secondary teach­ers, which means, of course, a regular program of undergraduate preparation during regular and summer sessions. Preparation of teachers, both those who major in the School and students from many other major departments, is close­ly co-ordinated with the work and aims of the State Department of Education so that the properly prepared student upon graduation is accredited for a State Teaching Certificate issued by the State Department.

Another important activity of the School of Education is the administra­tion of the University’s Extension cours­es. These are of three types: regular correspondence courses, courses given once a week in certain towns or cities of the state by faculty members who travel to the students, and Saturday morning courses given by the regular faculty at the University for students who travel to the coui ses. Such extension work provides both credit and non-credit op­portunities for continuing contact with educational fields for teachers, parents, and other adult workers, both for the purpose of cultuial and intellectual de­velopment and for actual pursuit of aca­demic credit towaid a degree, subject to certain restrictions regarding the aca­demic level of the work pursued.

The University’s annual Secondary School Scholarship contest is also under the supervision of the School.

Placement ServiceFor many years, in connection with the

training of teachers, the School has main­tained a Teacher Placement service to assist students entering the profession and to provide a confidential, unbiassed, and complete source of information for administrators seeking teachers. The re­sponsibilities of this service have con­stantly increased, not only through the registrations of graduating students, but also through the policy of the office in keeping cumulative professional records of graduates in the field when such ser­vice is desired.

Many other services for teachers, stu­dents, and schools are included in the work of the faculty of four who comprise the School of Education during the aca­demic year. One of the latest develop­ments of general interest throughout the state is the organization, recently, of a film library, composed of thirty-five edu­cational sound films which may be rented at a small fee for use in the schools of the state. This experiment in visual education, one of the important educa­tional developments of recent years, promises to be of real value to schools.

With the establishment of the new graduate degree of Master of Educa­tion, the School and its indefatigable faculty workers have once more shown their awareness of the practical prob­lems of the teachers and schools in the state and their unceasing desire to con­tribute to the progress of education in Maine.

HALF ’ROUND THE WORLDSince the great, gay class of 1914 burst,

in all their Commencement glory, upon an astonished and slightly bewildered world, twenty-five years of history, both personal and general, have passed on their way. Today, with the mighty milestone of a Twenty-fifth Class Reun­ion just around the corner, a glance at the 1914 of today should prove a profit­able and perhaps interesting event.

Whether 1914 was blessed, in the un­dergraduate days, with a greater share of the wit and wisdom of the ages than other classes before or since, it is impos­sible to say, unless one is a member of the class. Nevertheless, the fact is quick­ly seen by a survey of the present class roll that few groups in the history of the University have contributed, in pro­portion to size, so many men and women to the teaching profession. No less than twenty, by actual count, of the en­tire total are today teachers or admini­strators in school or college. Qualita­tively, as well as quantitatively, also, this record bears emphasis, for princi­pals, deans, and department heads sprin­kle the occupational lists of the class. Fred J. Lewis, called “Fritz” in other days, now graces the office of Dean of the Engineering School at Vanderbilt University; in our own ranks at Maine, Paul D. Bray is head of Pulp and Paper, and Fred S. Youngs, treasurer of the University. Also on the campus are Class President “Hoss” Hall, “Chappy” Chapman, Marion Buzzell, and Warren “Mouse” Lucas. Way up on the top of the country, Dick Crocker is principal of the Madawaska Training School, while • at the other end of the state Roland “Steve” Stevens holds the top job in the Lincoln Junior High School of Portland. And farthest away, half ’round the world, Zu Chi Dage, B.A. in Ch., 1914, was, at last report, struggling with the native youth of Peking, China, in the Technical College there.

An Alumnus Dage has a neighbor in China, or did at last reports, for only a few hundred miles away, in Canton, Ben­

rate

Dormitory : Under construction this year, the new girls’ residence near Colvin and Balentine halls to house 160 coeds, will look like this architect’s sketch when completed.

jamin B. Anthony, known twenty-five years ago as the most nicknamed man in the class, including “Bumble Bee” and “Boob,” peddles oil for the diminished lamps of China on behalf of the Stan­dard Oil Company.

The years often do strange things to the plans of people, but one of the most logical successes of the class is that of Harold Cobb, athlete, captain, and cam­pus leader, who today is Director of Physical Educatioin for the public schools of Endicott, New York. At the same time, probably one of the most un­expected tricks from the bag of fate is the career of baseball captain Arthur W. Abbott, now proprietor of a chain of sweet shops extending from Rye Beach, N. H., through the resort centers of the Atlantic Coast to Florida.

From custard shops to modern X-Ray surgery is not too great a leap for the men of ’14; Dr. Albert B. Ferguson, former class treasurer, athlete, debater, and biologist, now supports the stagger­ing title of Roentgenologist, New York Orthopedic Hospital in New York City.

We find undergraduate ambitions suc­cessfully fulfilled also in the case of Everett B. Harvey, known as “Ike,” who strove, as a member of the Campus Board and a debater of note, to prepare himself for a career in journalism; now, as pub­lisher of the New Haven (Conn.) Jour­nal-Courier, he has established a place in the ranks of the nation’s newsmen. And very appropriate is the position of Paul “Prexy” Monohon, one-time class president and active campus leader, now assistant to the president of Krementz and Company in Newark, N. J.

“Pep” Towner, too, is in New Jersey, following his campus career as athlete, editor, and student executive, then Alum­ni Secretary, with his present position as Associate Director, Welfare Federation of the Oranges and Maplewood. And he studied to be a forester.

Meanwhile up in Montreal, another foreign country has welcomed a member of 1914. Harry Leavitt, as president of

the Canada-New Zealand Casing Com­pany, directs the activities of an organi­zation importing and exporting in all corners of the world by-products of the meat industry.

As usual the engineers of the class are scattered near and far. Robert An­drews in Minneapolis, with the Minneso­ta and Ontario Paper Company; Mark Pendleton, as vice president of the Sioux City, Iowa, Gas and Electric Company, and Linton Ward, as an engineer with the Virginia Department of Highways, have gone far from the campus; nearer at home are Guy R. Wescott, Works Engineer for the American Optical Com­pany in Southbridge, Mass., Wilfred Pickard, Manager of the Metal Hose Branch of the American Brass Company in Waterbury, Conn., and Max Wilder, Bridge Engineer for the Maine State Highway Department. A 1914 neighbor of Max Wilder, also in the State House at Augusta, is George L. Stobie, veteran commissioner of Fish and Game for the State of Maine.

Nor must the historian forget the fates of the fair co-eds of twenty-five years ago. Many are found at home, married and busy with now well-grown families. Others, such as Estelle Beaupre, at Ban­gor High School, Marion Jordan, at Old Town, Amanda Severance, in Jack­sonville, Florida, and Elsie Tibbetts, in Bangor, are included in the ranks of the teaching profession. Gladys Niles, law graduate, is official court stenographer for the State of Maine. And, in Lewiston, Mary Leonard (Mrs. Mary L. Kava­nagh), since the death of her husband, has taken over the management of the real estate and insurance business of Al­bert L. Kavanagh Realty Co., making her practically the sole business woman at present listed among the ranks of the class.

So, from half way ’round the world and from half a hundred different pro­fessions and businesses, comes the word of men and women of 1914. And in China, and Canada, and Iowa, and Ari­zona, and Minnesota, and Bangor, and Orono thoughts of the members of this year’s Twenty-five Year Silver Jubilee Reunion Class turn back again to old times beside the Stillwater and the old friends of those days. And the first thought of all in every mind is: “I won­der if Bill will get back to Commence­ment in June?”

of the California Institute of Technology, spoke on the subject of Cosmic Rays and New Elementary Particles of Matter on March 20 under the joint sponsorship of the Physics Club and the University As­sembly Committee. One of the leading research scientists in the field of Cosmic Ray study, Dr. Anderson received the Nobel Award for his studies in electronic and atomic Physics.

The Dean of Skowhegan Lawyers

ON June 26 in the year 1890 among the names of alumni of the Maine State College returned for the cele­

bration of Commencement and the an­nual meeting of the alumni association appeared, apparently for the first time, the name of Edward F. Danforth, a graduate of the Class of 1877, and a young and promising lawyer in the little town of Skowhegan. Alumnus Danforth must have had an enjoyable time at the Commencement of 1890, for his atten­dance that day established a habit that he has followed with noteworthy con­sistency during the nearly fifty annual graduation programs since that year. Today, at the age of eighty-two, this alumnus of 1877, now bearing with quiet dignity the title of Judge and Honorable, has long been known at the University as a familiar figure and a true friend.

The interest of Judge Danforth in the University, however, has not been con­fined to his regular attendance at Com­mencement and Alumni Association meet­ings Although never one to seek the lime­light of publicity, he has been quietly helpful in innumerable ways. As a mem­ber of various committees and one of the regularly active members of the General Alumni Association, he has contributed to the growth and development of his Alma Mater. As secretary of his class for several years, he has helped maintain the interest and unity of his fellow alum­ni.

Prize DonorThe name of Judge Danforth has been

written into the history of the University also through his annual gift of two un­dergraduate prizes. Through his gene­rosity each year is awarded the Greek Culture Prize to the senior showing the best appreciation of Greek Culture. And, in memory of his father, Judge Danforth has annually awarded the Franklin Dan­forth Prize to the senior in the College of Agriculture who attains the highest standing through the four years. These prizes, contributed through the years, have attested the continued interest of Mr. Danforth.

Judge Danforth was born in Norridge­wock, Maine, in 1856, but since the year 1879 Skowhegan has been the city of his choice for home and profession. There he has become through the years a familiar and honored figure. His con­tributions to the profession and to the town of his choice have been varied and many. Early choosing the legal profes­sion as his life work, he has maintained his practice for over fifty years. Now justly regarded as the Dean of Skowhe­

gan lawyers, he still continues an active supervision over many legal activities of his long career.

The title of Judge, universally accord­ed to Mr. Danforth, is both an honorary and an actual title at the same time; for a period of about ten years he dis­charged the duties of Judge of Probate for the county of Somerset and amply earned the dignity of the title by his

Judge Edward F. Danforth, ’77

high standing and earnest efforts in be­half of local justice. At the same time his friends and neighbors of so long standing recognize in his career and his person the qualities of greatness which the title so completely conveys. He is “Judge” Danforth in the minds of the towns people as completely as in the books of his legal profession.

Active CareerFollowing his University graduation,

with a B.S. in the Science and Literature course, Edward Danforth attended Bos­ton University Law School and was awarded the LL.D, in 1879. The same year, in the March term, he was admitted to the Kennebec County Bar and in the fall took up his residence in Skowhegan. He has participated in a quiet way iu many activities of the town and county. For six years he was a member of the Skowhegan School Board, a position of public responsibility.

In the ranks of his profession he served as attorney for the State in Somerset County for five years, 1886 to 1891. A few years later, his ability and standing were recognized by his appointment as

Judge of Probate for the county, in 1896. This position he administered for nearly ten years. Then, in 1907, he was elected to the Maine House of Representatives.

Meanwhile his expanding practise brought him into a variety of semi-public positions of responsibility. Beginning in 1889, he has served as treasurer and at­torney for the Somerset Loan and Build­ing Association for a period of nearly fifty years. For eleven years he was a diiector of the Second National Bank of Skowhegan, and in 1911 he was appointed vice president of the Skowhegan Trust Company.

During the World War period, Judge Danforth was a member of the Somerset County Exemption Board for the Federal Government, assisting in the administra­tion of the army draft.

Among other public and private re­sponsibilities, Judge Danforth has served as trustee of the Bloomfield Academy, the Skowhegan Public Library, the Red- ington Memorial Hospital, and the Red- ington Home.

In the midst of a busy life, the Judge has found time for the publication of a book, Skozvhegan Lawyers, in 1927, giv­ing biographical sketches of the fifty­seven lawyers who, from 1803 to 1927, had practised in that city.

Honorary DegreeRecognition of the quiet achievement

and professional and personal qualities of Skowhegan’s Dean of Lawyers, as well as his long continued interest in the University, was officially accorded to Judge Danforth at the Commencement in 1932 when he was awarded the Hono­rary Master of Arts Degree.

It was not in honor of any one spec­tacular feat or nationally acclaimed career that the University so appropriate­ly honored Judge Danforth; it was rather in appreciation of the quiet con­tributions he has made through his pro­fessional and personal integrity to the life of his community and native state. Through the long years he has stood as a symbol of sound leadership, accepting and executing the responsibilities which were his. In the daily round of his life, he has exemplified the eternal values which we like to think of as belonging particularly to Maine, the State and the University—values of common sense, rea­son, social responsibility, and the need of giving the best to the job at hand. As a long and faithful member of the Uni­versity’s “Old Guard,” Judge Danforth has reflected honor on his Alma Mater as well as on himself as he has walked quietly in the paths of service.

Librarians Past and Presentby Dean Emeritus James S. Stevens

IT has been my privilege to have known all the presidents of this institution. I did not serve under the first or the

latest, unless the doing of an occasional odd job like this may be called a service. I also knew personally all the librarians. In the early days the duties of the librarian fell to some member of the faculty whose time was likely to be fully occupied with classroom duties.

The first was Professor George H. Hamlin, who served during 1874-1884 and 1886-1889. He also acted as treasurer until 1896 when the office was taken over by Col. I. K. Stetson. In this latter ca­pacity he was frequently called upon to extricate the institution from financial dif­ficulties He used to suggest one of two possible methods of procedure: Sell a bull or discharge a professor.

During the years 1884-1886 the library was in charge of Professor Allen E.

History Qo rnerAppropriately this month our history corner features the stacks of the old Library

in the days when it occupied a portion of Coburn Hall, and among the group of com­fortably posed and impressively whiskered faculty members are two of the earliest Librarians.

Miss Harriet C. Fernaid, busy at the libraraian’s desk at the extreme right, a gradu­ate from Maine in '84 and from Columbia University, was the first professional Libra­rian, and Professor Allen E. Rogers, second from the right, was one of several faculty members who at different times took on the extra responsibilities of the University’s book shelves. Professor Rogers served in this capacity from 1884 to 1886, Miss Fernaid served in 1888 under Professor George H Hamlin, and was appointed in 1890 full Librarian, serving until 1897.

The other members of the group are, at the left, Professor Horace M. Estabrook, teacher of Languages and English from 1891 to 1908, and, standing, Frank Damon, ’95.

Rogers. He also taught nearly all the subjects in the course in science and lit­erature, which developed into the College of Arts and Sciences. He was a most popular and genial professor, and this article might be filled with stories about “Allie” which would be readily recalled by the older alumni. He undertook the direction of military training, and on one occasion he met the difficulty of getting his troop over a fence by giving them an order temporarily to disband and come into formation again on the other side.

President Fernaid took charge of the library for one year, 1889-1890. Here again we are impressed with the heavy load carried by the faculty members in the early days. Dr. Fernaid taught physics and established one of the few physical laboratories which existed at that time.

The first full time librarian was Miss Harriet Fernaid. She was a graduate of

the college and attended the School of Library Economy at Columbia University. At this time the library moved into quar­ters in the rear of the first story of Coburn Hall and a systematic card catalog was established.

Ralph Kneeland Jones was our librarian during 1897-1917. He was not a trained librarian, but he possessed a wide knowl­edge of books and an appreciation of lit­erature. Under his administration Dr. Fellows succeeded in securing from Mr. Carnegie a sum of money which made possible the erection of the present build­ing. A plaque bearing a fitting inscrip­tion to the memory of Mr. Jones has been placed in the library. In addition to his library duties Mr. Jones was quite active in university affairs. He was a member of several committees, especially those re­lating to athletics.

Mr. Raymond L. Walkley held the position from 1920 to 1928. The work had been carried on by assistants during the previous three years. Mr. Walkley was a graduate of Yale University and held the degree of B.L.S. from the New York State Library School. After a very efficient service he resigned to become li­brarian at Tufts College.

The present librarian is Mr. Louis T. Ibbotson. He is a graduate of Hamilton College and holds the degree of B.L.S. from the University of the State of New York. His father was for many years librarian at Hamilton and he has a brother who was for a short time librarian at Colby College and is now in a city library in Texas Most appropriately the title “Peter” was conferred upon our librarian as soon as he reached the campus. Writers of other articles will treat of the present efficiency of our library and its cramped quarters and its increasing demand for more space. It has been interesting to watch its growth from a very small be­ginning to a library of 125,000 and over 30,000 pamphlets.

I am obliged to omit all reference to the many young lady assistants, past and present, who have contributed so largely to the efficiency of this important branch of our university. I can not refrain, how­ever, from mentioning the fact that a con­siderable number of them succeeded in forming matrimonial alliances with mem­bers of the faculty and the alumni.

❖ ❖Healey ’92 Appointed

Warren E. Healey has been appointed secretary of the class of 1892 by Fred D. Knight ’09, president of the General Alumni Association.

Mr Healey fills the vacancy caused by the death of Mr. William R. Butterfield as reported in this issue of the Alumnus.' Mr. Healey, whose home address is Win­chester, Mass., was for many years associ­ated with the Rockland and Rockport Lime Co., and is now secretary-treasurer of the N. E. Lime Producers Association.

• WITH THE TEAMS •VARSITY TRACK

Maine 75%—Colby 41%Displaying excellent balance in many

Stan Johnson, ’40

By a new college record of 54 feet 2 5/8 inches and a second place in national competition this winter in the 35 lb. Hammer Throw, he has established his place as one of the East’s leading con­tenders in this event.

VARSITY BASEBALLAlthough the first day of spring accord­

ing to the calendar saw plenty of snow and ice on the playing fields prospective baseball candidates looked forward eager­ly to the first days of regular practice Already the Memorial Gym field house had begun to be the scene of warming up groups as pitchers and catchers worked the winter stiffness out of their gloves and arms. And in the coach’s offices, Bill Kenyon, recovered from his illness of the winter, surveyed the prospects for the season

Prominent in the survey stood out the fact that only a nucleus of five veteran players will be available, two of those in the pitching staff. Of last year’s New England champions, Paul Browne, of Bethel, and Art Chick, of Monmouth, both seniors, worked regularly on the mound. A strong addition to the pitching staff will be provided by the left arm of sophomore Allan Holmes, of Guilford, former frosh star The only infield position covered by a veteran is second base, with senior Elroy Day, of North Berwick, available and also his alternate last year, Ronald Dyke, of Livermore Falls, a junior. In the outfield, veteran "Doc” Gerrish, of Lisbon Falls, is likely to be a familiar figure; Ray Norton, of Bangor, a substi­tute in center field, will also be available this season. The backstop position was capably filled by Phil Craig, of Patten, in last year’s games, making him a strong contender for the spot this year.

The rest of the field is wide open with a lot of promising material expected to show up Candidates for first base in­clude Maison Goodrich, of Patten, sub­stitute last year, and sophomore Charlie Arbor, of Rumford, from the frosh squad. The third sacker’s job may go to Sheldon Smith, of Bangor, a senior, who worked as understudy to Dwight Lord for two years. Fighting for the shortstop berth are Dana Drew, of Patten, a senior, who was an alternate at the job last year, and George Murray, of Newport, a sophomore.

Winter Sports Team Closes Successful Season

Under the leadership of Coach Ted Cur­tis ’23, Faculty Manager of Athletics, Maine’s winter sports team concluded a highly successful season in February with a State championship and a win in the I S U meet at Northfield, Vt. Recogni­tion of the team’s success was given when the International Skiing Union accorded the University a raise in classification from the intermediate to the senior divi­sion.

• CAMPUS EVENTS •Maine Day—

May third has been selected as the date for the annual Maine Day program fea­turing programs of campus work projects and entertainment. Senior Thomas Barker, of Vassalboro, has been appointed as gen­eral chairman of a student-faculty com­mittee to arrange the details of the pro­gram.

❖Premiere—

The world’s premiere of the blank verse drama Helen of Troy, written by Joseph Miller of the public speaking faculty and produced by Herschel Bricker in charge of the Maine Masque, was enthusiastically approved by an audience for a full four- night run last month. Starring senior Edna Adams, of South Brewer, a new­comer to the Masque in the title role of the classic Helen, the play, a psychological interpretation built around the famous beauty as a protagonist, provided elab­orate scenic and dramatic effects. The play was felt by the audience to be thoughtful, powerful, and excellent thea­tre ; using the largest cast in recent Masque history and requiring striking stage and lighting effects, the production demanded the best efforts of director and students. The success of the perform­ance was one of the high spots of Masque history.

“. . . . best of wishes for the greatest of success........... ”

I’m looking forward to seeing the old gang again Have had a great time the last two years going back to the old cam­pus; you know Oscar is a sophomore and my life’s ambition was fulfilled when he became a student there. Glad to learn Horse’ Austin is to be back. Tell Spike
