it was announced last night. Professor

Albert A. Schaefer, of the department

of Business and Engineering Adminis-

tration, is to act as toastmaster and

will introduce the speaker.

The correlation between scholastic

rating at Technology and success after

graduation will probably 'be discussed

by Mr. Hodgins, who was rather un-

successful in terms of cumulative rat-

ing while a student at the Institute.

I Number Hoping ForPeace DecreasesAs War ThreatGrows Nearer

Although it reversed its opinions on

several major issues before the nation

today, the Technology student body

steadfastly clung to its sentiment of

not going to war unless the United

States is attacked, as indicated by the

results of The Tech Poll taken yester-

day. Comparison with the last poll,

taken in October 11, 1940, reveals that

68.7% voted so last time and 63.6%

voted against war this poll, a drop of

5.2% of those polled.

65% of the students who answered

the questionnaire felt that the United

States would -be in the war in five

months if the war lasted that long,

although 63.5% felt that the United

States should not declare war. These

data represent an increase of 13% of

the student body who think that Uncle

Sam will take direct action and a de-

crease of 5.2%o of those who feel that

he should not.

Aids Short of War

W~hen the matter of selling war ma

terials to Britain was- considered,

25.5% of the students replying felt

that everything should be sold to

Britain for cash, a drop of 19.8% of

their previous 45.3%. 17.8%o others

would sell for credit, another drop

from the previous number of 25.8%.

Last Of A SeriesOf Four Lectures| About Married Life

In the last of a series of four lec-tures designed to advise the studentsof Technology on a happy married life,Professor F. Alexander Magoun, of the

department of Humanities presenteda talk last Tuesday afternoon at 4:00P.N1. and again at 5:00 P.M. The sub-ject of this lectuire was given as "GoodMethod".

The series this year as has been thecase in previous presentations, wasunder tle spoiisorship of the T.C.A.The lectures were undertaken after

| many requests by students were re-| ceived by the T.C.A. and plans for thenext year have not as yet been de-cided.

General Topic

Professor Magoun constructed hislectures about the general topic of"Marriage Problems in a War Torn|World". More specifically, the firstlecture dealt with "Criteria for Hap-piness", wherein Professor Magounasked for a long run healthy attitudetoward married life.

The second lecture entitled "TheValue of Conventions" attempted toshow how rules do not spoil one's fun,but rather guarantee it. "Emotionsand the War" was the third talk andin it Professor Magoun discussed theneed for a balanced personality andan intelligent character development.

The last lecture delivered last Tues-

|day was called 'Good Method". Atthis timie Professor Magoun explainedthe necessity of good method in allwalks of life and especially in mar-|liage. The engagement was discussedand r efe ences for fu ther study were| iven to the students.

much plefer to see a pay-as-you-gopolicy replace the present mania forspending which has been sweepingWashington. Of especial importancein his ideas is one that industry shouldnot have to bear the burden of taxa-tion as heavily as it has been requiredto do.

After forty-six years on the staff ofthe !Institute, Dr. Dewey does not nowengage in many activities. He hasbeen for years editor of the "Amer-ican Economic Review," a post whichhe resigned recently, his latest exitfrom public life. In his life ProfessorDewey has served on innumerablecommissions for local, state, and fed-eral governments, as often as a laborauthority as an economist.

Graduate of Vermont

Graduating from the University ofVermont in 1879, Professor Deweyspent several years teaching, and thentook his doctor's degree in economicsat Johns Hopkins University. Whileat Johns Hopkins, he was a regularcorrespondent for Bradstreet's. Fol-lowing, his stay there he came to Tech-nology, where he has been teaching

States call go to one hundred billion

Dr. Dewey shows an admirable re-

gard for progress for one of his years.Born in Burlington, Vermont, 83 yearsago, his politics are, naturally, con-ditioned by a background of VermontRepublicanism, but Dr. Dewey never-theless approves of the social reformsof the present administration. Hismind has not become clouded by theblind opposition to innovation whichusually characterizes age.

Does Not Approve Methods

Professor Dewey does not, however,approve in every case the methodswhich the administration has used to

accomplish its ends. In particular hedoes not believe that taxation has

on Germany by the United States except

provoked by direct military attack on the

Americas, 6 5 'o felt that the United States

will be fighting with the British within five

months if the war lasts that long.

This seems to indicate a fatalistic approach

to the problem of foreign policy. It is

further complicated by the fact that over

40 ';0 do not want to help Britain with more

than cash purchases or non-war materials.

In the student body's attitude toward

Japan, the United States should go to war

only in case our own interests were

threatened. It was interesting to note that

more people were willing to go to war

against Japan if the Dutch East Indies were

threatened than if the British possessions of

Hong Kong and Singapore were in actual

danger. Once more the fact is indicated that

while the majority think that war is in the

immediate offing, opinion is still not high in

favor of our anticipated ally.

The student opinion might be summed up

by the ballot of one student. "The foreign

policy should be to pound hell out of Hitler;

then to pound hell out of Britain; then hell

out of Russia and establish democracies thru

the world and keep them that way. 'We

should send Roosevelt to the front lines also,

so that he would be able to show his greatest

loyalty to America."

A MASCO:9T WE MUST HAVE

It's high time that the athletic teams

representing Technology on the field of bat-

tle had some sort of inspiration to urge themon toe greater things. It is a well known

psychological fact that human beings, teams

as well as individuals, will exert much greater

effort if they are fighting for an ideal or

symbol in addition to the goal of victory.

All schools have a mascot, usually in the

animal kingdom, which represent the tenor

of the school's spirit de corp. We have the

Beaver, nature's engineer, commonly re-

ferred to on this campus as the "Bronze

Rat." It is a fine state of affairs when the

school mascot is looked down upon by its

own members. Not only is our beaver

slightly in ill-repute, but it exists solely on

paper and the senior ring.

The navy has its goat and the army has

its mule so why shouldn't we have a beaver,

a real live beaver. It shouldn't be much

trouble around the Institute and it most cer-

tainly wouldn't eat as much as a mule or a

goat. It shouldn't prove to be as offensive

in several other ways, too.Of course there is always the problem of

who is going to take care of it and be the

mother protector. There are several organi-

zations that could take over that function

easily, either the Beaver Club or the Beaver

Key Society being ideal groups to own a

beaver. Both groups represent Technology's

active students, in sports and extra-curricu-lar organizations, so they are in the midst

collegiate activity.

The method of securing a beaver presents

somewhat more of a problem but that should

be solvable by an engineering mind. It has

been suggested by interested parties that it

might even be used as a project for initiation

stunts. We think a beaver really would helpto raise Technology teams in the esteem of

the collegiate world.

A LIGHT HAS GONE OUT

A great light went out of Technology's

life last Tuesday night with the death of

Professor Robert E. Rogers, a light that had

brightened immeasurably the darkness that

seems to cloak the human side of Technology

life.

"Tubby"' was a tradition. Although not

liked by all, as is the fate of every school-

master, he was universally admired. He

helped to give that small spark here that was

apart from science and engineering. To hlim,

life was to live.

A department compatriot of his, Professor

Matthew Copithorne, caught part of

"Tubby's" light when he said,

?tin the life of the Institute during the last

quarter of a century, few men or none have

have had a larger part; indeed, it is probable

that no other man ir all that time has been

so widely known to students and to alumni

alike.

"Possessed of a wide range of interests and

information and endowed with the gift of

words and a scintillate Wit, he was constantly

in demand as a speaker. As a toastmaster his

talents were almost incomparable and no re-

ception to freshmen, or senior dinner, or

alumni banquet was complete without him.

"To students interested in literature or in

journalism he was a constant inspiration, and

manny an alumnus will recall the brilliancy

of his lectures delivered in sophomore Eng-

lish courses-lectures enlivened by flashes of

Wit and drollery.

"Few college teachers have been so ver-

satile. Over a period of almost two decadeshe lectured widely and his courses for the

University extension were probably the most

popular ever given under its auspices. His

interest in the drama, begun as a boy in his

'teens, he maintained all through his life. In

that field as in many others his reading was

prodigious and his memory inexhaustible.

"In his death the members of the depart-

ment of English feel that they have suffered

an irreparable loss." In that loss the student

body feels a share.

WE KNOW OUR MIND

In spite of the rapid change in public

opinion concerning the foreign policy of the

United States with respect to the war situa-

tion, Technology students have not followed

this trend.

However, altlhough 63.5 7 of the students

would not approve of a declaration of war

Since their introduction,

the ready acceptance of

these shirts has been verygratifying. We want moreof our members to learn

the value in these particu.

lar shirts, therefore, you

can make a big saving

during this sale.

year in the newspaper business (Hans

von Kaltenborn got me a job on the

Broolklyn Eagle), and found that I

was a bad reporter, but a good spe-

cialty writer and columnist; and I

had a year going abroad and working

in a literary agency . . . Then I went

back to school, where I have been

for twenty years at the Massachusetts

Institute of Technology and whiere I

really belong," wrote P ofessor Rogers

in 1934.

Marry the Boss's Daughter

A bombshell of publicity took up

Professor Rogers' statement before

the graduating class of 1929, when

with solemn dignity he advised that

the road to success lay in "marrying

the boss's daughter."

In 1934, Professor Rogers modified

his advice about marrying the boss's

daughter, "I was wrong," he said, "in

that -year of economic insanity the

coming graduate should have mar-

ried the stenographer. She has a job

and the boss's daughter is broke."

This statement closed the incident,

but "Tubby" Rogers will always be

aff ectionately remembered for that

impromptu advice on marriage.

Survived By Wife

Professor Rogers leaves behind him

his wife, Mrs. Marie L. Rogers, a first

cousin of Admiral Williamr D. Leahy,

present U. S. ambassador to the Vichy

government. Besides Mrs. Rogers, a

daughter and two brothers survive

him.

At the funeral services to be

held on Friday, May 16, at 2 o'clock

in Christ Church, Garden Street, Cam-

bridge, the honorary pallbearers will

be Dr. Robert G. Caldwell, dean of

humanities of the Institute; Professor

Howard R. Bartlett, head of the de-

partment of English and history of

which Professor Rogers had been a

member of the faculty since 1913;

Professors Matthew R. Copithorne

Tech Cabin EscapesDestruction By Fire

The Tech Cabin, situated on the

shores of Lake Massapoag in

narrow escape from the flames of

forest fires that have raged

throughout the Groton and Dun-

stable area recently after an April

without any rain.

William Hagenbuch, G. who was

T.C.A. president in 193940, and

David T. Morgenthaler, G, visit-ing at the Cabin, discovered thefires approaching the cabin.Assisted by members of the Cam-bridge Y.M.C.A., the Technologymen put out the Fire after it hadconsumed a nearby shack. TheCabin was insured against fire for$4,500, three-quarters of its totalvalue.

Student Poll(Continisted from Page 1)

uatel ials and 11.6%o would sell noth-

ing whlatsoever. These statistics rep-

resent an increase in the latter case of

6.9% and a decrease of 3.85%O in the

former.

15.5% of the students would use

our- Navy and airforce for convoying

only; 8.6% would send the Navy andl

airforce for combat purposes; and

16.4cio would go to wvar with all means

at ourl disposal.

In the Far East, 54% of the students

answering considered Japan a sufI-

ficient menace to have the United

States go to war if Japan attempts to

annex either the Dutch. East Indies,

the Philippines, Hong Kong or Singa-

pore, whlile 46% were against sending

an armed force there. Of the three

under consideration, however, the

Philippines were cof the greatest im-

portance according to the students'

opinions. 67% were for war with

Japan if annexation were attempted,

whlile 33% were not. With respect to

the Dutch East Indies alone, the feel-

ing wvas spread more evenly since

47v.5%O would prevent Japan from seiz-

ing the islands whereas 52.5%o did not

consider such seizure of sufficient imw-

portance.

British Colonies Negligible

The students were least concerned

with Hong Kong and Singapore, for

only 39 % would act in event of

Japan's seizure whereas 61% would

nlot. The students on the other hand

prefer -by an overwhelming majority to

keep hands off the Azores, Canary Is-

lands, and Dakar, since 76% of the

voters feel that the United States

should not take over these positions.

68 % were against taking over the

Azores and the Canary Islands, where-

as an even greater majority, 76%,

would keep away from Dakar.

Turning now to the South American

countries and the problem of fifth

columnists and saboteurs, opinion was

dividend almost exactly equally. 50%

of the voters felt that the United

States should take it upon itself to

police the countries south of us

against fifth columnists and saboteurs

49.4% of the students would not take

such action.

This poll was the largest cross-

section of student opinion ever made

in a poll taken at the Institute. Bal-'

lots were all consumed by about 1:30

P.M. and succeeding voters had to

vote on slips of paper.
