History of
Stdte University

A detailed history of the
Montana State University, IN
cooperating old records, letters,
photographs and the rem
iniscences Of old-time alumni
and faculty members, is being
written bv Mrs. Mary Brennan
Clapp, widow Of former UniveF-
sity President Charles Clapp
and a membe- of he Univer-
sity English department staff.
mrs. Clapp was chosen for
the task this summer by the
University history committee, OF
which Controller j. q. speer is
chairman and Miss Catherine
White, librarian, and Forestry
Professor T. c. Spaulding are
members.
One Of the records with
which Mrs. Clapp is working Is
the old Matriculation book,
used when the university opened
in 1895, instead of the present
student registration cards. First
name in the book is that OF
Helen McCrackin of Hamilton,
who three years later was q
member of the first gradual
ing class. During the first year
1874 students registered. Al
though use CT The book was
discontinued in April, 1908, Il
was formally closed in 1925
with the signature of Mrs. o.
car J. Craig, widow of he uni
versity's first president.
Old letters. souvenir pro-
grams, photographs, newspapers
and records have been piling
up in the university archives
for years, but most of them,
Mrs. Clapp says, have not been
classified or recorded. Organi-
zation of this material and fill
ling in of historical missing
links" through newly discover
ed records or the memories Of
pioneer university friends win,
she hopes, result in the first
complete history of the insta-
tuition.
Old records, programs, photo
graphs and reminiscent sketch
es about the university will be
welcomed, Mrs. Clapp said, and
will be returned to the owner
or permanently stored in the
university archives according
to the wishes of the sender.
Failure to feed literally and
failure to feed a balanced ra-

Rejects A Raise In Pay

CAMBRIA, (P) - Australia s dour Labor Prime Minister JoseD1 B. Chifley has refused a sizeab!e increase in salary, because, he said, ''my needs are simple"
 He asked the Parliamentary La bor Party to drop a proposal that his salary should be raised to ap- proximately $l6,200 a year, adding the extra money would only em- barrass me"
 The prime minister at present receives about $14,580 a year-the exact amount is not disclosed.
 Pointing up his simple needs" i" Chifley marked his 62nd birthday few days later with a typical 12-hour working day. He was up at 6 am, at the prime minister's residence, The Lodge, and made his own cup of tea.
 /, He was first in line in the Par liament House barbershop for a haircut, was in his office at 8:45 and settled down to his mail.
 One of the first letters Chifley ay that day was formal advice from the Australian Federated Union of Locomotive Enginemen that he had been made a life member of the union in acknowl- edgment of splendid services dur ing many years of active associa- tion."
 Chifley was locomotive en- gine-driver before he entered poll itics.
