These buildings, with the new Hill Building, erected in 1912, furnish
class rooms, laboratories and dormitory rooms for the boys and girls of
l'\orth\yestern Minnesota who come here. The experiment station buildings
occupy the grounds east of the school campus.
The school is a part of the University of :\linnesota. The students and
alumni are proud of this fact. They are loyal Minnesotans who honor their
President Vincent and the men of the Board of Regents who are entrusted
with the work of building up and guiding the University in all its spheres
of usefulness. As a part of the Department of Agriculture, of the University, this school is benefited by the wise and sympathetic counsel of Dean A.
F. \Yoods \\"ho is always a welcome visitor.
A large work lies before the school and the boys and girls who go
there from. May there come, as a result of their work, nobler thoughts and
worthier deeds. May they sen'e their communities, their state and nation
better for ha,-ing received their training at this school.

N E D U C A T I O N is not an end, but a

means. I t is a means t o aid men a n d
wom en t o accomplis h t h re e purposes :
the development of the intellect, the
earning of a living a n d the formation of
character. If it does n o t o r tend toward
the realization of all three, it is to t h a t
extent a failure.
A milid furnished with useful information and trained to deal with
the facts a n d questions of life is the first essential. Practical instruction in t h e principles and methods of the days work, which occupies
the g r e a t e r p a r t of t h e time and effort of m o s t of us, has been held of
t o o little account heretofore in the general scheme of education. I t is
the fundamental idea of every good school of agriculture. W i t h o u t a
definite m o r a l training, the individual w h o has acquired both the other
elements of education is n o t fitted for a place in human society or for
right service t o the community and the state,
E v e r y institution engaged in giving instruction in modern f a r m
methods is n o t only contributing t o t h e advancement of an industry
which m u s t always be the foundation of national prosperity a n d stability, but i t is a guide post pointing the may t o w h a t m u s t a n d mill be,
for a majority of the y o u n g people of our country, the happiest a n d , if
rightly followed, the m o s t successful occupation. In dignity a n d in
practical worth, n o d e p a r t m e n t of the University outranks it.
I can wish no greater good fortune t o the students of the School
of Agriculture than that t h e y m a y learn t o appreciate the dignity a n d
the opportunities of the instruction open t o t h e m there, put it t o good
practical use b y finding independent competence a n d happiness in
w o r k upon the farm, and achieve all the three ends of education that
unite t o make good manhood, good womanhood a n d good citizenship

Albert Erlandson, 13.
W e , the Seniors of 1913, N o r t h w e s t School of Agriculture, after having
studied three years a t this school, have accumulated by hard work, sleepless nights, and endless enthusiasm, a very large a n d complete supply of
attainments.
W e find that our school days will soon be a t a n end a n d we shall have t o
g o out into the cold, cold world where there will be n o verdant F r e s h m a n t o
instruct, no jolly Juniors t o admonish.
W e wish t o apologize t o the s t u d e n t body for taking so much with us,
b u t feel t h a t much is needed t o c a r r y out the aim of o u r motto, Well teach
b y example. Although we take much away with LIS, w e feel t h a t we leave
enough t o guide the steps of the succeeding student body aright.
W e have taken a careful inventory of these attainments a n d have m a d e
the bequests with a view t o the special needs of the classes and of the individual students.
H e r e w i t h follows our will, which has been d r a w n up, witnessed a n d
signed according t o the laws of Minnesota.
W e , the Class of 1913, of the N o r t h w e s t School of Agriculture, University of Minnesota, being all of age, a n d being sound of mind and understanding, d o make, publish, a n d declare this o u r last will a n d testament,
hereby revoking a n d making null a n d void all other wills made by us heretofore.
W e bequeath t o our Superintendent, Conrad G. Selvig, and t o his wife,
Mrs. Marion W. Selvig, w h o have acted a s counsellors t o our class, our sincere appreciation for the high ideals they have ever kept before us a n d for
the sympathetic help they have given LIS in the striving f o r these ideals.

To t h e m e m b e r s of the faculty we leave our gratitude for the forbeara n c e of o u r s h o r t comings, a n d for their helpful inspiration in and out of
the class room.
T h e senior privileges a r e reluctantly and hesitatingly bequeathed t o the
Juniors. W e t r u s t that next year t h e y will have developed mentally a n d
morally so that the temptations rising from added privileges will n o t cause
t h e m t o fall by the wayside.
W e bequeath t o the aforesaid Junior class our promptness in the class
rooms, o u r regularity of attendance a t chapel, o u r d e p o r t m e n t in and a b o u t
the campus, which have won the commendation of all the instructors. W e
hope t h a t this class will make the m o s t of their bequests a n d will teach by
example a s we have done.

To the F r e s h m e n we leave our apologies for not having trained t h e m

m o r e zealously, for not having policed their class meetings more carefully,
a n d for n o t having corrected all their faults, a n d b e g t o leave the excuse of
overwork a s t h e reason for this negligence.
W e also wish t o leave this esteemed class o u r assurance that a course
a t this school is a valuable asset, a n d urge them each a n d every o n e t o finish
the prescribed course.
T h e Senior class t e a m leave their skill in playing basketball t o the
Juniors, realizing t h a t they will be in need of all t h e y can g e t when playing
with t h e Freshmen.
T h e class leaves with t h e school their picture of the Three University

While camping neath the pines of our great state,
Away from eating cares disconsolate,
One evening when my mates had long retired
i sat and dreamed of what I longed to be,
j\J1d wished that my dear class-mates I might see.
t wondered whether they all would attain
The heights that they had oft aspired to gain.
'vVhile musing thus before my weird camp-fire
Up rOse from midst the creaking pines so dire
Up rose with all the pomp and stately mein
That ever graced a prince at royal scene.
Up rose a shape that soon became distinct
And made my heart clear to my shoes to sink.
Enveloped by a haze of luster bright
A t first I could not gaze' upon the sight,
But knowing that prophets in these woods did dwell
T waited. anxious to know what befell.
He slowly motioned for me to be till
r\nd held me spellbound at his \"ill.
His glittering eye upon me firmly fast.
He told me he would tell from first to last
The future of the class to me so dear,
And for the fate of each I need not fear.

But first he said that I must him protect

If in his \Yords he prophesied defect

Of fortune or of fame and brought disdain

Against him in the hearts of girls and men.
T hastily assured him all was well,
And begged him quickly to proceed to tell
The fate of us all, both distant and near.
Reluctantly at first did speak the seer,
Enthusiasm gradually did rise
As he recognized in each one a prize.
He spoke with accents low and words serel:e:
I listened eagerly ,,,ith interest keen.
"Lo I, Sota, the great prophet and guide.
Will tell no,,, what the future will betide.
Listen, be patient, and you soon shall hear
The fate of them all, your calss-mates dear.
"Xineteen hundred and hyenty-nine will lind
An Aggie school, the greatest of its kind.
Right here, amidst this verdant scene,
V/ith lver as President and Oscar as Dean,
\I\fhile Teckla Erlandson will be the best
Preceptress in the big progressive west.
The dairy department will be in charge
Of Lieberg, your class mate, his interest large.
He'll know of every lowing herd the moo;
And make all kine produce their due,
Of butter sweet the best in the land.
And Fred will be noted for lectures grand.
Lindquist will be a professor most firm
Teaching his students so anxious to 1earn
Of flowers and trees of the highest degree,
His words most inspiring, his council free.
The musical department of this school great
"ViII be in charge of Nils, and up-to-date,
\Vhile Syvert Dahl agronomy shall teach
And analyze soils, and about them preach.
The blacksmith shop of this school will be large
And become famous with l\Ielkar in charge.
The animal husbandry course will be strong,
\Vith Albert the head, it could not go \Yrong.
Domestic Science will be well given
By ~Irs. Dahl, who surely has striven
To be a success in this sort of work,
And will not be known her duty to shirk.
The English work Charles Brown will make noted,
His sayings and his verbosity quoted.

r ts teaching famous will make a great stride.
1\n agricultural train each year will go
From midst its noted ranks both to and fro,
Carrying intellige'lce around our state.
The eager crowds will flock early and late."
The e words prophetic filled me with surprise
I interrupted Sota, and his glowing eyes
Thrilled me and I whispered. "Can this bc truc'
Tcll me, what shall the rest of my class-mates do?"
Serenely calm. the venerable sage
Continued prophecie , the result of age,
":\lartin Landby a great doctor will make,
The doses gencrous his patients must take,
And those who long at death's door linger,
He'll pull straight through-O, he's a dinger.
A wise astrologer Henry will make
A trip to ~lars he surely will take .
.As a master mechanic Fred will stand
The foremost in our free and native land,
Planning anti building engines great and small,
Finally getting them not to run at all.
And working alone, aDart from the rest,
John Rud. as a sheep buyer, will be blest,
Richard ;\elson by cxample will teach
\Vhat to him at Crookston the instructors did preach.
His fertile farm will o'er the land be known
For proper rotation of crops well sown.
William Thorkelson you will some day find
Raising fowls of every color and kind.
V\'ith lighting cocks he'll surely be blest
.And his hens in fresh eggs will lead the rest.
Lionel Skibness some day "'ill be
An cngineer careful as all shall see,
And over this continent he will run,
i", splendid flyer through both rain and sun.
Thc legal profession shall claim Herman Lee
His eloquence startling foreyer shall be.
The world will much wonder and notice take,
V\'hen David his aviation tour shall make."
And hcre the form of Sota grew less bright
He seemed to vanish from my sight.
I beseeched him loud, I beseeched him long.
But nothing was heard but the plaintive song
Of the birds in the murmuring pines.
r'.nd nothing of my fate in all the,e Iinc;;,
I stirred the embcr but Sota was gone.
And 10, in the east the breaking of dawn.

Oscar Lee, 13.

W e shall never forget t h a t eventful day when w e came t o the Crookston
School of Agriculture. T h e first wonderful process through which we passed
was registering. M a n y t h o u g h t s and fears passed through our minds a s w e
stood waiting for o u r turn. A number of people stood around laughing a n d
talking a n d enjoying themselves generally. T h e s e w e learned were called
Seniors a n d Juniors, for t h e y had been t o school here before.
A t last we were all registered without a n y serious mishap. A couple of
t h e boys m u s t have been mistaken for girls, for they w e r e given girls programs. These, however, were changed when the boys informed the registrar
t h a t t h e y wanted t o become farmers and n o t housekeepers.
W e were v e r y lonesome for the first few days, but we soon became acquainted with each other a n d the ways of the N. W. School of Agriculture
life.
After a while some of the older a n d m o r e experienced members of our
class decided that we had to organize in order t o become s t r o n g e r a n d more
independent W i t h the assistance of Mr. Schwartz, our preceptor, the class
was called together o n e evening Officers for that year were elected a n d
other m a t t e r s which we t h o u g h t needed attention were considered. After
t h a t we felt m o r e a t home. W e knew w e could depend u p o n each other for
help i f needed.
W e were frequently troubled b y m e m b e r s of the o t h e r classes when we
h a d our class meetings. hut whenever our boys went after t h e m they t o o k
t o their heels. We tried t o teach t h e m t o eat g r o u n d feed o n e evening a n d
after t h a t they let us alone.
We turned o u t t o be a very studious and enthusiastic class, though we
have always realized t h a t A little nonsense now a n d then, is relished by the
best of men. O u r belief is shown by t h e following incident. W h e n the
Juniors banqueted the Seniors we were t o s t a y in our rooms and study. But
when all the o t h e r students a n d the faculty were down in the dining hall we
could n o t withstand the temptation of seeing w h a t was going on. S o m e of
the boys discovered that the dining r o o m door was closed and s a w their opportunity. T h e y w e n t down to the barn where they found some ropes. W i t h
these the doors leading t o the dining room, the kitchen, a n d the outside mere
tied together. T h e n the lights in the dining room were turned off. W h e n
this was d o n e me hurried back t o our r o o m s a n d started t o study. Finally,
after much effort on the p a r t of those assembled in t h e dining hall, t h e y
succeeded in g e t t i n g the d o o r s opened.
W e were very glad when t h e last d a y s of school drew near. Many w e r e
the bright thoughts about all the good times w e should have during vacation B u t when the last days came a n d we were t o leave we really felt a
little sad for we had enjoyed the school life immensely.
W h e n school opened again in the fall we found t h a t o u r responsibilities
had increased a s Juniors. W e knew that we should a c t in such a w a y a s t o
furnish good examples f o r the F r e s h m e n , E v e r y t h i n g went well in o u r
Page Thirty-Six

Junior year a n d nothing unusual happened. T h e r e are a few things which

proved of much interest t o the class.
A p e n n a n t was offered t o t h e class having the best basket ball t e a m t h a t
winter. All the classes quickly organized a class team and began t o practice.
Rut because o u r boys did n o t take enough interest in the contest t o practice hard, we were unable to beat t h e Freshmen. W e won over the Seniors
a n d this pleased us very much.
W h e n the time came for us t o banquet the Seniors w e worked very
hard t o make i t a success. W e did so well that it turned out t o be t h e best
of its kind given here.
T h i s was the last of our Junior year, which on the whole had been very
successful. W e now felt me had accomplished something, for w e would be
Seniors when we came back in the fall.
W h e n school opened again we found t h a t only twenty of t h e ninety-one
who were F r e s h m e n w e r e back t o finish the w o r k we had started.
W e t h o u g h t that this year would be the easiest, but found the w o r k in
preparing for graduation w a s not a n easy matter. However spurred on by
the nearness of the goal for which we had been struggling, w e have n o w
come t o a successful finish.
I n looking back over the three years we can recall m a n y things which
o t h e r s have unselfishly done f o r us. A m o n g these a r e the many social events
a n d outside things which did so much toward making our school life happy.
W e shall always be grateful t o Mr. Selvig and t h e faculty for their interest
in these affairs a s well a s their interest in our regular school work.

Ivcr Wes:ad, '13,

It is universally conceded that the farmers of today are confronted lIith
problems of increasing complexity. One hundred years ago farming CDnsisted Df hard work under picneer cDnditi':Jlls. Today there is still much
hard physical \vork but machinery, new meth~d;;, and new business problems
have also come. Farming has CDme to be a prefessiol1. Daily the farm~r
must use his best thinking ability to determine important questions. \Vhen
and how the work ought to be done to obtain the best results: what kind (f
stock is best: and many other problems press upon him for solution. Grain
diseases, live steck ills, and in"ect pests have been added to the problems
confrDnting farming. It is coming to be a difficult matter to be a successful
farmer.
We realized the need of a speci6c training for farming before we coul1
engage in the business of farming. That is the reason we came tD the
;\orth\\'est School of Agricultw2. \Ne \\ished to become trained farmers,
ready to master the daily problems that a fanner has tD meet and tJ solve
them in the best way pDssible under the circumstances that will surrounj
our lives.
Three years of hard studying have passed. X ot from books alJne, but
also from observing nature's ways, have we set about to accomplish our aim.
\Ve kno\v that only by putting our knoll'ledge into actual practice shall we
succeed. It is nDt merely the accumulation of wealth that conccrns us.
That is OUI' smallest aim. Our purpose is to make the farm a home, not
merely a place wherein to li\'e, but a home from which the boys and girls
\\'ill not depart to go to the city. The country home can be made so attractive that no young man or lI'oman can afford to give it up for a meager place
in the city.
It has been said "The man that is most useful is best educated." 'Ire
believe that to be true. By using our influence in bringing the farm and
farmer up to this ideal we are doing lI'hat a real citizen ought to do.
Every American citizen, a farmer or engaged in some other vocation, is
in duty bound so to li\'e and to act that others will be benefited by his example. For that reason, \\'e the class of 1913, adopted as our motto the fol10\\'ing suggestive words "\"'e'l! Teach by Example." \Ve haye endeavored
to live up to this motto here at school. The time has come "'hen lI'e cannot
personally be together. These inspiring lI'ords will go with us to our home,
where they shall be applied in action.
It may be asked, how ami what can we teach by example? There arc
several ways whereby we can do that. Virst, Sllccess in agriculture depends
upon the business and executive ability of the farmer. In our forefather's
days no scientific studv of the requirements of the different crops was necessary. The only thing then considered essential was to sow the seed, to
Jlarvest it. and to sell it. Today it is different. In order that a m'lximu111
crop can be gro\\"n the farmer must know the requirements for the various
crops, as well as the physical and chemical condition of the soil. By kn'")wing the soil capacity and taking the necessary precautions, such as usin,
good seed. making plant food available in the soil. consen'ing moisture and
practicing crop rotation, it will be pDssible for us to grow two bushels where
we formerly grew but one.
Second, l\'e should be leaders in prom::ting liye stock raising. In order
to be competent farmers \ye must keep li\'e stock. because it is the most i111portant factor in maintaining soil fertility. It is being realized more and
more that the welfare of the nation depends uopn the fertility of the soil.

A quarter of a century ago, when land a n d labor mere cheap, it was perhaps a paying business t o raise c o m m o n or scrub stock. Today, when the
land values a r e high a n d the population is increasing, w e m u s t improve the
stock in o r d e r t o make the business pay. Stock t h a t gave a fair r e t u r n o n
land w o r t h ten to fifteen dollars p e r acre will never d o so o n land w o r t h up
t o one hundred dollars p e r acre. P o o r stock spells failure today.
Live stock is like a machine. T h e best is the m o s t efficient. T h e kind
of stock that can convert grain a n d roughage into beef, butter, o r eggs, t o
the g r e a t e s t advantage is the best. I t is t h e only kind w o r t h raising. T h e
call is-breed
a n d feed better stock. I t will secure m o r e a n d better produce
and higher prices.
Third, where a farm is under good management a complete f a r m record
is kept, W h e n it comes t o selling a lot of beef steers, o r a lot of h o g s for
example, the f a r m e r looks i n t o his record a n d finds o u t w h a t t h e y cost him.
H e knows then the price t h e y should bring in o r d e r t o make him a fair
profit. I n dairying it is particularly true t h a t he can keep a record of t h e
cost of production. More than that, by looking over the individual cow
records h e can see if each C O R is giving a reasonable return. I n case h e
finds one t h a t is n o t doing well s h e is disposed of. S h e is not paying f o r her
keeping. S h e is a star boarder. If n o records a r e kept he would never
know t h a t he was losing money on her. Furthermore, breeding f r o m such
cows would be a direct loss t o him.
F o u r t h , on the prairies where timber is scarce, provision m u s t be made
to plant trees for wind protection, for t h e buildings a n d stock. O r n a m e n t a l
trees should also be planted a s t h e y aid greatly in beautifying t h e home. No
f a r m is complete without fruit trees. A small orchard should be provided
I t should contain a variety of fruits, which will be of value a s food a n d a s a
source of profit, W e realize the need of these things a n d we a r e pledged t o
secure them.
Less than a quarter of a century a g o co-operation was a n almost unknown t h i n g a m o n g the farmers. T h e y did n o t believe in returning a favor
for a favor, or in other words, in working together, So long a s this continued, p r o g r e s s was very slow and painful. Happily t h a t attitude is rapidly
dying away. T h e r e is n o reason w h y the f a r m e r s cannot succeed in their
business t h r o u g h co-operation a s well a s the small manufacturing industries.
W h y did the smaller manufacturing firms unite into o n e large concerti?
Because they s a w they could not d o a s well alone. I n union there is
strength
T h e same principle holds true with the farmers. T h e y m u s t
mutually w o r k t o produce better grain a n d stock, a n d then sell their produce
on a co-operative plan.
T i m e does n o t permit m e t o dwell l o n g upon these very important
phases of farming. O u r active experience o n f a r m s up t o the present time
is limited. W e do n o t claim t o know all a b o u t farming. W e have tried t o
come in a n attitude of seeking knowledge a n d of investigating conditions.
W i t h the facts secured we wish t o teach by example the m o s t important
principles.
Is this a n ambitious p r o g r a m t h a t w e have outlined? Is i t impossible of
achievement? P e r h a p s so. But w e a r e in earnest. W e believe in these
things. W e a r e going t o strive earnestly t o c a r r y out the correct principles
of good farming a n d good living. W e have had efficient help in our training
course a n d feel it is our d u t y t o make good.
W e extend our sincerest thanks t o the faculty for their tireless e f f o r t s
in m a k i n g the school as valuable t o us as possible, a n d the d o r m i t o r y a s

The :\lan From Brandon is a series of laughable situati::;ns arising from

mistaken identities,
Dan :\]oulton has il1\'ited Phil Lester, the captain of the Brandon football team. to go home with him for their vacation. Dan is detained at school
and sencls \\'ord to his family to welcome his guest. \IVhen Phil arrives he

This amusing dilemna is added to by another mistaken identity. The
maiden aunt. :\liss Janet Spencer, \\'ithout the knowledge of her family, has
srnl for a veterinary surgeon to examine her pet dog, A physician having

ID4r 3Juninrn
The Junior Class is composed of thirty-one modest and diligent stud
ents who are an especially quiet bunch except when disturbed at their class
meetings. Then their spirit is aroused and the intruders are put out with
more spirit than grace.
This class stands by their motto in everything, even in athletics and
studies.
They receive high marks, especially in Chemistry and Physics. They
do not expect to get somethng \vithout working for it.
The faculty show their appreciation of the capacity of this class for work
in the length of the lessons they assign.
This class, although a trifle quiet, are just resting up from last year and
getting ready for next year \"hen they expect to be heard all over Northern
:llinnesota.

Altho the Junior Class does not usually receive the proper respect from
tl1e Freshmen, and is generally looked down upon by the Seniors, matters
were changed at the track meet when the high record of this class l'aised
them to their proper place in the estimation of the other classes.
Two years of the course have been successfully finished by this class
and by continuing to live up to their motto they expect to make a still better record next year.
One of the Social Events of the Year.
The Junior Class was invited to attend a party given to them by Mrs.
Sargent and illrs. Brown on the evening of January twenty-eighth. On the
evening appointed. a bli'zzard was raging, but this did not prevent the
Juniors from going. After participa ting in various amusements, delicious
refreshments \I'ere served. When trudging their way home, they felt well
repaid for their efforts in making their way through the snowdrifts.

The Freshman Class of the Northwest School of Agriculture is composed of fifty-six members, t,,enty-five of whom entered school the first of
the school year. The remaining heard of the wonderful advancement of this
illustrious class and by putting forth every effort were able, after Christmas,
to join their noted ranks. The rapid advancement of this class has been fostered by the admonitions of the Instructors, the joshings of the Juniors, and
the chastisement of the Seniors for all of which the members of this class
are duly grateful.
Most of the energy of this class has been spen t upon the mastering of
lessons assigned, but they have also found time for a few pleasant diversions altho lessons have never been allowed to suffer. It is true that some

The musical department of the N. W. S. A. ,,as organized in the fall of

1912. The aim of this department is to develop the students that they may
t2ke the initiative in musical lines at their home centers and thus become
potent factors in rendering country life more attractive.
The musical department has been of great service to the chool in
many ways. The Glee Club had its beginning last fall and has been working
hard all winter.
The band was organized about three year ago by a number of students
who wished to learn more about mu ic. Under the able leadership of ?-Ir.
Schwartz it has made considerable progress.

This school opens too late for football and closes too early for base ball
so all athletics center around indoor sports. Colleges as a rule are having a
hard time gettino- the students to take active part in athletics, a very low
percentage do take part. but here it is far different. E\'erybody goes to the
gym and take their regular exercise, and ninety-live per cent of all here are
taking part in some athletic work outside of reo-ular gym work,
This is accomplished by the holding of indoor inter-class field meets
and the organizing of clas basket ball teams.
The Iirst meet was held December 16th, 1912. \Vhile some of the events
were humorous,. others afforded plenty of opportunity for the exhibition of
training and skill and good sho\\'ino-s were made, especially by \Vurden.

threw 32 baskets, as in basket ba\l, in a minute. The Juniors won the meet
with a score of 24 points, while the Freshmen came second with a score of
21, and Seniors third "'ith 15 points. Another field meet was held February
29th. The result "'as 29-29 between the Seniors and Freshmen.
The Inter-class basket ba\l games aroused a great deal of interest. The
closeness of the playing is noted in the score of the opening game between
the Seniors and the Juniors which was won by the Juniors 29-28.
The next game, Freshma.n vs. Faculty, ended 28-10 with the Faculty at
the long end of the score. By the time the Freshmen played with the Juniors
they had had more practice and played a very fast game, beating the Juniors
by a score of 22-14.
The Senior vs. Faculty game, played Jan. 29th, was a hard fight, but the
Faculty were not to' be denied and won 30-14.
Towards the close of the season, however, the Seniors struck their gait
and won easily over the Freshman and Juniors, even defeating the Faculty, a
feat heretofore considered impossible.

Cornelius and Lieberg ,,-ere the only veterans to. report. 'vVurden, Vag,

in the game and so "'ith many hard practice nights in the gym they made
good.
There were only a few games played before Christmas as it took time to
get the team rounded in to any kind of form. The following records go to

THE 1913 DEBATING TEAM.

T h e debating t e a m is composed of three energetic y o u n g men upon
w h o m the w o r d inertia h a s n o effect.
T h e team was chosen in a n open t r y o u t in which the faculty m e m b e r s
acted a s judges. T h e men t h a t made t h e team were I. J. W e s t a d , O. B. H a r rington a n d D. Geddes.
T h i s t e a m m e t t h e team f r o m t h e W e s t Central School of Agriculture,
a t Morris, Minn. on March t e n t h a n d upheld the affirmative of t h e followi n g question:
Resolv e d : T h a t a separate system of co-operative rural credit should be
adopted by t h e farmers of Minnesota in preference t o a n y modification o r
adaptation of o u r present banking system t o the rural credit problem. T h e
n ega t ive w on.
T h e s e annual contests will be continued a n d much profit is expected t o
be derived f r o m them.
I n the fall of 1910 the boys debating club a t t h e Northwest School of
Agriculture mas organized by a body o f students who took special interest
in the a r t of debating a n d other literary work.
T h e object of this organization is t o improve its m e m b e r s in parliament a r y practice, debating, and regular literary discussions without being under
faculty supervision. The reason for n o t being under a n y faculty supervision
is t o train its m e m b e r s t o be self reliant.
I t s meetings a r e n o t open t o all the students, only m e m b e r s of t h e
faculty being invited t o come. Public p r o g r a m s a r e occasionally given.
T h e first year this club furnished the debating team consisting of five
students who were especially gifted with the knowledge of how t o debate.
T h i s team debated against t h e National Business College of Crookston,
Minn. a n d received a n unanimous decision in their favor. T h e question
t h a t was discussed was, Resolved T h a t a n agricultural education is m o r e
profitable t o a y o u n g person than a business education.
T h e second year the m e m b e r s of this club discussed m a n y questions of
importance both in politics a n d agricultural science, gaining much practice
i n app ear in g he f o r e audien c e s
T h i s year the club has done some effective work in the line of debating
a n d other literary discussions.
A t the beginning of the school year Mr. McCall was chosen a s their
debating coach. S o m e very interesting questions have been discussed a n d
o t h e r literary w o r k has been carried out in the m o s t satisfactory manner.

At the School of Agriculture a course in military drill is given to the
young men. The purpose of this drill practice is to turn out young men
who shall be able to lead a corp of volunteers in time of emergency.
Students are required upon entering the school to provide themselves
\\ith uniforms. while the government furnishes the other necessary equipment, such as belts, bayonets and fire arms.
The students that are most efficient in drill while attending the school
are promoted to offices, such as those of first and second sergeant, first and
second lieutenant. These promotions depend upon their ability to fill the
respective offices.
During the school year of 1911-1912 Da\'id Berg and rver Westad were
promoted from private to first sergeant and then to first lieutenant, which
is the highest office that can be held by a Junior.
Only Seniors can hold the office of captain of a company. rver \Vestad
accepted the position as captain during the school year of 1912-1913.
At the close of the term of 1911-1912 a final drill down was given. A
gold medal was awarded to the one that could drill the longest without
making any mistake. Mr. Elmer Berglund, of the Freshman class. received
the medal. :'Ilr. Gilbert l-Iuot won the medal this year.

Some of the members of the association were asked to express themselves regarding the value to them of their Agricultural School training.
From t h e President of the Associaiton.

This illustrates a slow
speed, heavy duty Engine of the highest type
of construction.

I t lead, the world in

the
following
advantages:
1st-It
r,duces
the
consumption of fuel per
horse power from onethird to one-half of the
average horizontal en
gine.
2nd-Twa-thirds of the
bulk and one-third of
the weight of the average horizontal engine is
dispensed with, and at
the same time, the violent vibrations of the average
horizontal
engine are overcome. These
advantages greatly increase its usefulness.
3rd-The crank shaft
of this engine is placed
over the cylinder, producing the following results:
15t-Explosions are located low down on a low
flat base, the earth receiving the shock of the
explosion. 2nd-Lubrication by gravity is secured
which
greatly
reduces
friction. 3rd-The piston
moving up and down,
friction is reduced to a
minimum. 4th-The governor is placed on the
crank shaft, enabling the
placing of the pulley on
either sid~ of the fly wheels. 5th-It is much easier moved than any type. When placed
upon a temporary foundation, its full power can be utilized. We also manufactur~ 50 H. P.
Engines.
SIZES-This engine is made fro:n 2 to 25 H. P.
