loads to their proper places-all the while pestered by their horses' antics-groomers, brushers-never hesitating to ride where man and horse could go-a handshake of worthy remembrance to these men.

ENGINEERS.

Silent wielders of the pens and rules-night-workers under officers' careful eye-mappers of barrages, positions and abris-these workers deserve our touch of praise.

Cooks.

Guardians of our appetites-striving ever to satisfy the hungry wants of many men-men previously pampered and many hard to please scolded for tardiness and their cooking, with few remarks of praise these makers of the "chow" which kept us on our feet, can justly receive our humble word of thanks.

BAND.

Spirit rousers, pep-producers, foot-hikers, with loads of horns and drums-idols of the public at every place the bandsmen truly deserve our commendation.

FIRST SERGEANT'S OFFICE.

Clerks of rosters and of payrolls-record-keepers and correspondents-exempt from drills but ready-workers. Praise to these men.

PROFESSOR JONATHAN BALDWIN TURNER AND THE GRANVILLE CONVENTION.

By DEAN M. INMAN, Principal Hopkins Township High School, Granville, Ill.

It is not generally known that one of the greatest educational movements of the world had its inception in the village of Granville, Putnam County, Illinois, nearly three-quarters of a century ago, but such is the case and official records clearly bear out the truth of the statement. It was in the historic Granville Convention of November 18 and 19, 1851, that a plan for the establishment of higher institutions of learning along industrial and mechanical lines, by grants of lands to the various states by the United States Government, was first proposed.

Recently the Granville Community Association placed a marker in remembrance of the memorable event. It is located on the beautiful campus of the Hopkins Township High School which is the center of interest and pride of the community. The monument consists of a great blue-gray granite boulder upon which is a bronze tablet with this inscription:

"This marker commemorates the GRANVILLE
CONVENTION OF NOVEMBER 18, 1851, at
which Jonathan Baldwin Turner first proposed
the plan for establishing higher institutions of
scientific industrial learning by federal aid, a
plan which laid the foundation of the University
of Illinois and all of the land grant colleges of
the nation."

The extent to which the plan was adopted in the United States is indicated by the following list of the Land Grant Colleges of the nation which have been established upon the plan promulgated in the Granville Convention.
