Rowing a short choppy stroke the Princetonian crew trailed {he Beaver eight rowing a low, power- ful stroke from the start. Leaping away to an early lead when Mark Greer, Beaver stroke called for the best in the crew in one of their famous starts that has proven even the downfall of the Varsity in practice, the Beavers settled down to a long power- ful swing that'never went above 32. Princeton stroked by Post about a half a length to the rear of the Technology boat were rowing a fast beat that hov- ered around the 36 mark. Tiger Raises Stroke at Finish However, the fast timed beat of the Tiger was useless against the power- ful stroke of the Engineers and at the mile mark Princeton was a length and a quarter to the rear of the Tech eight. In desperation Post raised his stroke to a faster time, the Black and Orange crew striking 40 as they made a big fight to overtake the Engineers. As they neared the finish Greer raisedthe 'beat ^to 34,; a-remarkably slow beat to stave off a crew rowing at 40, the Tiger gained but only slightly in the last 440 yards, the Beavers coat- ing in the victors by five feet less than a boat length in the fast time of 7.21. The record for 150 pound crews for the course is 7.19. Princeton's time was 7.24 3-5. The same lineup that rowed the Navy with the exception of Kaufman at PNo. 6 met the Tiger Saturday.

And what Wilde said about the Victorianage is doubly applicable today: "There is not a single real poet orprose writer of this century on whom the British public have notconferred diplomas of immorality, and these diplomas practicallytake the place, with us, of what in France is the formal recognitionof an Academy of Letters. ... To call an artist morbid becausehe deals with morbidity as his subject-matter is as silly as if onecalled Shakespeare mad because he wrote Kinlg Lear."

Before a doctor can cure a patient, he first diagnoses the caseto locate the source of trouble. Before an engineer can improvethe efficiency of a plant, he must determine what factors are im-pairing that efficiency. Before a reformer can eliminate an evrilfrom the world, he must know what evils exist. And to portray theevils which exist and which should be eliminated is the highest pur-pose of the literary artist.

The seed of immnorality, like that of any fungus, sprouts betterin the dark. The public owes a debt of thanks to the marl who tellsit its faults, and with the bright sunlight of public attention andpublic consciousness of the evil, kills the foul growth.

I believed in fairy tales-I believed

every word of them until I was ten

and then I began to know that things

did not happen in just no time at all anda book of knowledge explained almost

t everything and fairyland tumbled over"The Edge of the World." Still, I foundthat there were many wonderful thingsin the world and of these books were thefinest product, but it was a delighted inl-terest in ships and steam engines whichhelped me to decide in favor of a scien-tific college.

It was April, late in the afternoon, Ihad been reading a book by Bojer whichhad left me in a receptive mood.

I had closed the book and was com-paring in my mind the difficulties expe-rienced by the boy in the book and hisstruggles to obtain a chance for a scien-tific education, with my own easy sailinginto Tech. I was about to leave thelibrary when my attention was called toa picture hanging on the wall. It wasan old print of a three story buildingwhich was standing upon Summer Streetin Boston in 1865. The two lower stor-ies were occupied by business firmns, theupper story by the Massachusetts Insti-tute of Technology. There was a presi-dent and fiftten students. Curiously, mymind measured the quarters where Tech-nology began its work by the twelvesmall windows which I could see underthe roof. I felt dazed and hurried fromthe room, down the stairs and out onWalker's steps. Here I paused TVVOeight-oared shells were passing up theriver on their way to the boathouse, cut-ting paths through the changing light onthe surface of the water. The rays ofthe setting sun flamed in the windows onthe opposite shore, where the outline ofa city stretched from the State Homedome to Corey Hall. I ran down the stepsand turned towards the avenue. I hadpassed this way a thousand times but Ihad never seen Technology as I was see-ing it now. The grass borders were likegreen velvet; even the cinder path had aglow upon its surface.

Up the court the main entrance halllooked like a far-away temple, a paleyellow light gleamed up-der the colonade.I had reached the avenue, I would walkover the bridge. I crossed to the corner,then I turned and with a gesture towardsthe buildings which had so suddenly ,beecome magical, I had an impulse to shoutaloud. Tech is great.

rthe argument that nations go to waibecause man is a pugnacious animalProfessor Ellwood of the Universit3of Missouri, lately President of theAmerican Sociological Associationwrites thus: "It has been supposed b3many that man is naturally and iner-adicably a fighting animal and thawars between human groups are simply the outcome of this deplorable trailof human nature. Careful investigationhowever seems to show that the mili-tary activities of peoples-are almostwholly the outcome of their "mores'(social standards, customs) . . . Mili-taristie customs in other words andnot human nature, not geographicalconditions, not even lack of food, areimmediately responsible for the warswhich have drenched this world withblood." "Modern sociological researchhas shown almost beyond the shadowof a doubt the plasticity or modifiabi-lity of human nature in social life....show human nature to be one of themost modifiable things we know, . . .that t~he complex of thoughts, feelings,desires and impulses which we actuallyfind in human beings, is very largelythe product of social and cultural con-ditions. ... It follows that the socialbehavior of men and the institutionsof human society are plastic and modi-fiable. Thev are the results, not somuch of innate traits plus the influ-ences -of physical environment, as ofmental patterns in the minds of the in-dividuals of the group."

1. To the Editor of THE TECH:Y You have taken a bold step in ex-e panding the scope of the editorial poli-.ca of THE TECH to include the con-

sideration of problems of internationalimport. Politics has ever been a mael-strom ready to engulf the too ventur-ing ship. YVet there is no reason why

*tTHE TECH, under skilled guidance,cannot be sailed through this SargassoSea with true maritime heroism.

You seem .to gallivant around thefacts a bit when you blame the king

a and a small tyrannical military partyfor the latest Balkan pandemonium.That the whole affair is the productof the weird schemers in Moscow is

s universally acknowledged. And I doInot see how you can say "so long asIviolence reigns unchecked, the Balkans

cannot be considered truly civilized"and at the same time object to an ironhand rule-the only way to check thatviolence.

But if you want to display true mari-time heroism and in fact play the role

rof flagship for-the fleet of college jour-nals in the U. S., you can point out tothem their duty to their country-andindeed their responsibility in deter-mining the morale of American society-by revealing to your student body inplain common sense language the exactnature of these people who flaunt theRed flag before the eyes of the worldfrom their bull pen in Moscow. Youcan show them how these half crazedvagabonds have been forced by the coldsteel of sheer practicability to abandonone by one their glossy tenets-how theSoviet Government has come not onlyto recognize Capital but to borrow it,and how it even has conceded certainrights of private property to the awak-ening mass it so completely usurps.

You can reveal how the lives of Eng-lish statesmen are jeopardized by the

lavowed intentions of this bloody aggre-gation-how an open war is threatenedin Paris-how Italy has just uncoveredghastly Communistic plots-how Getr-many has only a few weeks ago guillo-tined Soviet ferrets in Berlin. Youcan show what Moscow has to do withconditions, in China today, and you canpoint out the public Communist dem-onstrations in this country, and the la-test utterance of a Moscow leader to.the effect that the Soviet dream-aWorld Revolution-is even now in itsembryo.

The Balkan situation recalls oncemore the economic formula which sayswar can never be outlawed. THETECH will take a commnendable andunimpeachable stand if it decides tonavigate such a course as outlinedabove, and in addition to flatly denouncethe organizations of Soviet-backedmollycoddles who pledge themselves notto fight in the event of another war,which are today finding a footing in ourcolleges. More power to those whoview the situation in a sensible lightand, appreciating their duty to the 7flag,that harbored their existence, decide toprepare duri'ng peace times, not forwar but against it, by enrolling in themilitary courses provided by the Gov-ernment.

And more power to THE TECH fordaring to risk its sails against the swir-ling waters of international politics I

Presumably the wrong method ob-jected to by the editorial (it is veryobscure in this regard) is that of ed-ucating public opinion to the end thatit will abolish the pretty custom of war.According to our friends of the mod-erns psychological school of sociologythis is a truly scientific and propermethod.

Another lamentable failure in ordin-ary decent regard for fact and logicin this editorial is the confusing asone, three different sorts of people.Every well intentioned person shouldbe a "worker for peace." Every relig-ous person is justified in being a "paci-fist" if his interpretation of religion soleads. An extremely small but noisygroup takes the appellation "Reds."The hysteria now raging that dubs ev-ery man of liberal views a "Red" is,to say the least, an un-American meth-od of conducting a discussion of publicmatters. An excellent editorial on thissubject appeared in the Boston Her-ald of Saturday May 2.

So grievous an error as that of dog-matism in a field where knowledge isnot yet established could not have oc-curred were our students introducedeven casually to the science of society.Is not this editorial an indication ofthe desirability of Technology men re-ceiving more of an equipment of thesort of ideas and factual knowledgeneeded to fit them for intelligent citi-zenship?

Editor's Note.-In the Editorial Spec-ulum of April 29 we committed our-selves on the activity of the "Pinks'--

Once again as we loll back in oureditorial easy chair, hoping for inspira-tion to come, the oncoming electionssuggest a possible topic. Elections-politics-log rolling; always a good'opic for a scathing editorial, deploringthis or that "lamentable practice"

Thoughts of the elections bring withthem the usual line of stock phrases-"Back the man you know is reliable"and lots of others. But we'll fool youthis time-we will not decry the "Tam-Inany Hall" (how the dickens do youspell that name?) system used at theInstitute., We are not going to say aword (for the present, any way) aboutdirty politics, or fraternity electioneer-ing.

EXIT BLUE SUNDAYS

IT was with the greatest of pleasure that we received the newsthat the tennis courts, the boat-house, and the gymnasium had

been thrown open for undergraduate use on Sundays. For a longtime, we have believed that students should be allowed to exerciseon Sunday without being restricted by obsolescent rules. Men mustbe amusedi and it is far better to have them healthfully engaged inslAorts than sitting around their rooms playing cards.

Many a mnan took advantage of the first open Sunday to gethis share of fresh air and recreation. No longer need the men inthe dormitories look out on empty courts and bewail the wasting offair weather and free moments. They may now cavort over thecourts to their hearts' content without arousing the ire of the Cam-bidge police farce, the watchmen, or the Dean's office.

This is an improvement, and it is hoped that other colleges willfollow in the footsteps of Technology in her liberal stand, and thatthe students in neighboring institutions be soon given -the sameprivileges. Those in authority at Technology are to be congrat-dlated on their broad-minded view of the matter in extending to thestudents .the opportunity of exercising on the Sabbath.

'ill pentiica that was presented Saturd.rl iF a stlJ:'ngt }i'tlulpleof how little some men have developed out of their high schoolchildishness. Men perpertrating such hokum exhibit a deficientsense of fitness and a perverted sense of humor.

THE TABLES TURNED

: NOVEL idea of getting student opinion of the instructing staffA has been innovated in, Antioch College, a little Ohio institution.Dr. Morgan, the president of this college, recently passed out blanksupon which the undergraduates are to grade their instructors andprofessors giving their various subjects. In marking, the studentsare to consider: Fairness in grading, clear presentation of the course,willingness to advise students on personal, vocational, and religiousmatters, and the man's value to the college.

No doubt, such practice, while possibly having obvious de- ifects, embodies the sound principle of reciprocity. The points uponwhich the faculty is to be graded are very carefully balanced, thusgiving the administrative officers an index to the abilities of thefaculty member. One professor may be able to present a subjectvery well, though he may be of little value to the student body insgiving personal advice; thus, he mayr be given an "L." On the other Ihand, a hard-working instructor who is deficient in his capabilitiesfor removing the cloudiness from his class rooms, but having splen- ,did abilities in advising students and being of great value to the scollege, may be given a "P.1 I

Because of the novelty of the idea it will be greeted with laugh- ;ter within the frosted doors of more than one departmental office.However, the faculty member who condemns the idea upon itsnovelty may be the very one who fears an "L" or possibly a "de-ficiency." t

Rain and a choppy sea cut shortthe race run on the Charles Saturdavafternoon in which the Second froshcrew defeated the 150 pound frosh andthe Huntington School eights. Theoriginal-distance was to be the regu-lar Henley affair of 1 5-16 miles, butthe condition of the course necessita-ted a cut to about 7-8 mile. It wasf eared at first that the race would becancelled, the changing weather allow-ing the running of the modified course.

Huntington took the lead at thestart, shoving off to a half length ad-vantage over the two frosh crews whowere on even terms. It was not long,however, before the conditions were re-versed, the Huntington shell "tanking thespray" of the yearling eights. The racefrom this point to the finish was athrilling one, both crews tugging awaywithout an advantage. The visitingshell lagged behind, more and moreopen water separating -it from theleading eights.

Not until the last 100 yards of therace did a winner appear certain, afinal spurt rocketing the Second froshcrew over the line a winner by lessthan a length. The Huntington shellcoasted across two lengths behind the150 lb. yearling boat. Considering theuncertainty of the water conditions, thetime of 4.15 3-5 was fairly fast for thecourse.

aint New and BetterCo-Eds at Technoloy

Obtaining of newer and better co-eds for Technology is the purpose ofa petition circulated among the un-dergraduates last Saturday and sign-ed by more than 100 students. Thetext of the Petition is as follows:"We, the undersigned undergradu-ates at the Massachusetts Instituteof Technology, hereby petition fora referendum vote on the question-Resolved: that the MassachusettsInstitute of Technology obtain somenewer and better co-eds. We fur-ther petition that this question beprinted on all ballots in the comningelections and that the Institute Com-mnittee be empowered to act on thismatter."

C. R. Muhlenberg '25, chairman ofthe elections committee, denied yes-terday that the petition was a "pub-licity stunt" to create interest in theelections of class officers Wednes-day. He announced, at the sametime, that the petition would not beprinted on the -ballots for election.

Technology Affirmatives ITo New York College by

2 to I Decision

Lose

Upholding the negative, Union Col-lege defeated the Technology debatingteam last Friday evening, gaining a twoto one decision on the proposition,"Resolved that capital punishment beabolished." The defeat of the Insti-tute men by the team from Schenec-tady was witnessed by a crowd offair size in Room 5-330.

J. W. W. Sullivan G. W. C. Asbury'25, J. C. Evans '25, with W. S. Living-ston '27 as alternate, made up theteam for Technology. Union Collegewas represented by F. A. Chenian, E.K. Prichard, W. B. Jaffe, and P. H.DuBois, alternate.

Professor H. G. Pearson, head ofthe Department of English and His-tory, acted as chairman at the debate.The judges were F. J. Carney, E. C.Johnson, and C. P. Jones.

In stating the affirmative, Technologyused three main arguments, the first ofwhich was that capital punishment hasnot stopped crime and was backed upby citing statistics, and historical facts.Following this, capital punishment wasdeclared to be morally wrong, whichargument was substantiated by refer-ence to ethics and somewhat to reli-gion. The third and last argument'pointed out that where capital punish-ment has been abolished no increasein crime and no decrease in the pub-lic safety occurred. A sharp fight tookplace on this last point, both sidescontesting hotly their opponents' state-ments.

Union -made as its main argument,the fact that the United -States hasthe highest murder rate because oflenience in administration of the deathpenalty. The visitors then developedthe argument that the protection ofsociety required the use of capital pun-ishment. The Union team made useof sentiment in its arguments, and re-lied less on statistics than the Tech-nology debaters.

Heretofore, there has been some op-position to the motion, inasmuch as itwould mean that the Institute would haveto provide caretakers on Sunday. Asidefrom this objection, the Advisory Coun-cil,atlastmonth's meeting, could find noreason for opp osing the ruling. Sincethere is no law in the State of Massa-chusetts that prohibits such a use, As-sistant Dean Lobdell went on record atthe time as favorable to thie idea. Theonly obstacle might be the possible abuseof the privilege by the men taking ad-vantage of the new ruling.

It is thought that many of the studentswho -have no other recreation facilitiesavailable for their use are strongly infavor of the new ruling. Yesterday wasthe first Sunday that the tennis courtswere open for use, and the large numberof men who signed up to play betweeneight and six o'clock indicates that thereis an earnest demand for Sabbath dayrecreational facilities. The men in thedorms, in particular, are expected togreatly appreciate the opportunity to getout and enjoy the use of the courts, gym-nasium, and boat-house. t

Accompanied by Dan Sayre, No.2of last year's Varsity the 150's left onthe boat for Princeton on Thursdaynight. They had their first workouton Lake Carnegie on Friday. In therace Saturday the crew met with al-most perfect conditions. It was a fairsunny day with no wind except a slightcross wind at the middle of the coursewhich made both shells drift a littleto the left.

On Wednesday the 150's will meetthe Harvard light Varsity on theCharles. The crew is in great spiritfor the Crimson encounter and are anentirely different eight in attitude thanthe one that came back from the Navy.It is unlikely that Bill Haines will makeany changes in the seating of the crewfor the race on Wednesday afternoon,as he struck a fine working combina-tion by his shifts last week.
