BEAL BOTANIC GARDENS MICHICAN STATE COLLEGE APPROACHING REALITY: An initial appropriation of $1,000,000 has been earmarked for Michigan State's long- awaited and urgently needed new library by the Michigan Legislature, with construction to begin when the money is officially made available. The library will be the largest in America yet built on the "divisional reading room" principle. This means the breaking up of the "conventional" library into large subject reading rooms with thousands of volumes on open shelves. Under this plan, 15,000 M.S.C. students can be served without the "bottleneck" problem in present library facilities. The new $4,000,000 building is to contain space for one million volumes, more than 100 faculty rooms for research, 200 cubicles for graduate students and a specially-equipped reading room for blind students.

AUGUST 1, 1953 .... 11 Days of Yore By MADISON KUHN and JOSEPH G. DUNCAN Ceremonies during the past Alumni Day in the Beal-Garfield Botanic Gardens paid homage to a man well known in the history of Michigan State College— Dr. William James Beal. The dedication of a bronze plaque honored Dr. Beal for hi? work in the 'seventies which laid the foundation for present-day hybrid corn. Among those who spoke were Prof. Perry G. Holden, '89, and Dr. W. O. Hedrick, '91, both of whom are former students of Dr. Beal, and Prof. Jackson E. Towne, librarian. Dr. Kenyon T. Payne, head of the farm crops department, presided, and William L. Davidson, '13, chairman of the M.S.C. Fund, introduced the speakers. The Fund provided the finances for the starting of the Michigan State College Corn Founda­ tion which sponsored the Beal marker. The Foundation was formed to pre­ serve the history and tell the story cf corn in the development of civiliza­ tion. A part of the Foundation's work will include the establishment of a library and museum specializing in (Above) One of the best-remembered material on corn.

of writings, talks, and voluminous corre­ spondence constitute the first major addition to the Foundation's library on corn. A pioneer plant scientist and professor of botany from 1870 to 1910, Dr. Beal was the first person to successfully cross-fertilize corn varieties to increase yields through hybrid vigor. Hybrid corns, as farmers know them today, resulted from work pyramided upon his early experiments. The Beal Garden was started by him in 1873 and is one of the oldest botanic gardens in continuous existence in North America. Dr. Beal also is remembered for the estab­ lishment in 1896 of the Pinetum, which also bears his name, and for the beginning of Norway spruce plantations in northern Michigan in 1888. (A recent picture of the Beal Garden appears on the cover of this issue of the RECORD.) Dr. Beal's daughter, Jessie (Beal) Baker, '90, lives in Amherst, Mass. She is the widow of Ray Stannard Baker, '89.
