Outside of the Univer.'it~· of Missouri. the School of i\Iin es was t h e onl~' sta te sch ool not a memIJf'l' of this confe r ence; and it wa s asked to apply for ad mission. Thi s makes a 6-school confe r en ce of sch oo l:; \yith eq ual str ength in all branches of ath letics. No doubt. this will cr eate mu ch more inter est throughout t h e State of l\Iissouri in the athl etics of this conferen ce ancl v arti cu l a rl~' in the Mi sso uri School of Min es. '.rhe r ea son for our j oining the M. 1. A. A. was the inab ility of sch eduling foothall games in the i\I. C. A. U. Th e games we p la yed gave u s no sta nding and sch edules were h a rd to a rran ge; often tim es it wa s n ecessa ry to sch ed ul e teams to our disadvantage. In th e M. 1. A.

This mak es fh e footba ll and ten basketball gam es each year and mu ch interest \yill be aroused after each week 's games in the sta ndin g of the six team s in the COllfe r ence. The competition in th e i\1. 1. A. A. will be particularly strong in basketball and t r ack. They a lways hay e t\VO or three outstaneling footba ll teams, Kirk sYille h a Ying won twenty-six cOl1secutiYe victo ries. I consider the competition much str onger than w as offer ed in the M. C.

Anniversary Is Observed Missouri Miner of T wo Decades Ago Began With One-Page Two-Column Sheet With this issue th e ~Iin e r i s paSSing the twenti eth milestone of its career on th e ~I. S. ~I. campus. Afte r h a Ying tr a vel ed some sm ooth and some tor tuou s pa th s f or the pa st two d ecades, it h a s d e\'elopecl f r om a tw o-column , single page, scandal and spor t sh ee t to th e near metr opoli tan proportion s of the present edition. T h e first attempt t o publi sh a stud ent paper was m a de in 1912 by Mr. A. W . Gleason, but h is attempts \"er e intermittent and met with yery little enthn siasm and cooperation , so he gaye it up a s a ba d job " 'ith a few sarca stic r ema rk s about th e am ount of school sp iri t eviden t in the in stitution. Again in J an ua r y, 1915. plan s wer e ma de by a few progressive s t udents to in clnd e a newspaper in th eir extracurricula r activities, }l nd th eir a mbi tion s \"ere r eali zed th e fi r st week in Febru ary wh en the weekly ~lin er mad e its fi r st appea r a nce un cl er t he eclitor ship of J . L. H ead. Fred Gotts was gener a l ma na ger , and C. E . J ohn son , bnsiness manager. The business manager 's chI ti es. con sistin g of collecti ng five cents per copy f rom each stud en t '''ho desired to r ead the n e'ys. The gener a l mana ger 's tim e was occupi ed in keeping track of the editor and seeing that the copy \ya s p rin t ed. That left th e editor with nothin g to do but ayoid the gen eral manager and mainta in a gener a l nuisa nce on th e campns, which custom has been h and ed down anel obsel'Yed by subsequent editors up to a nd including our fa st-mov ing a nd h a rd-writin g incumbent. It seems that several of the customs ina uger a ted with the initia l issne have been ca rried on, and a r e evid ent on the campus today. The principle one is the sa r castic remarks lJy the editor about the school spi ri t and the effect they have on the stud ent body as a wh ole. 'l'he co-operation and backing of the Alnl1lni was a n important factor in getting the paper started. The Alumni (Cont-inll,ed on Pag e 10)
