Three First To TotalFifteen Points

Led by Captain Hank Steinbrenner,who scored fifteen points to will theCardinal and Gray track team defeat-ed Holy Cross 75 1-2 to 59 1-2 last Satur-day in a meet that was finally decidedin tihe field events., Both teams ex-hibited great strength in certain ofthe running events, Holy Cross pos-sessing the pick of the sprinters, inQuinn, and Technology leaving Stein-brenner in the hurdles and the fur-long. The only shutout of the daywas in the mile run, where Coach OsHedlund's boys ran away from thePurple.

Hank Hops High HurdlesThe Technology captain had no dif-

ficulty in winning the high hurdlesfrom McDonald, the big ace of the in-vading hurdlers. Again, in the lowsticks, Steinbrenner led McDonald,who was close pressed by Barringtonof the Institute team. Steinbrenner'sbig achievement of the day was hisdefeat of Quinn in the 220-yard dash.Hank won out in the last twentyyards, after pulling away from thepack of enemy sprinters. For thefirst hundred yards everything lookedto be Holy Cross, but the results ofthe race demonstrated conclusivelythat Steinbrenner is as good a sprint-er as can be found in intercollegiateranks.

Another high spot was the fast 440,wNhich went to Burns of the Purple.The time of 50 1-5 seconds was verygood, considering the heaviness of thetrack. Burns finished just a couple ofpaces ahead of Cy Meagher of theCardinal and Gray, and Durkin andHiggins of Holy Cross, the last threebeing more closely grouped than a setof compound Siamese Twins. H-lad Cybeen more of a wrestler, he mlighthave grappled his way out of thecrush into second place.

Beaver BaseballTeam Wins From

Trinity, 11 To 4Engineers Outplay Team In All

Departments of GameAt Hartford

Saturday of last week the Beaversdefeated Trinity College in a fast base-ball game at Hartford by a score of11 to 4. The exhibition of the Engi-neers was by far the best thatthey have thus far given, even thoughtheir batting was not as extraordinaryas in the preceding game. The field-ing was superb, the team-work, morethan is usually apparent. Only oneerror was recorded against them. Far-well and Duplin both pitched, but be-cause of cold weather were not as ef-fective as in the past. Duplin walkedeight men and Farwell six, yet togeth-er they allowed but one hit. The Bea-vers made seven and stretched theminto 11 runs. It seems the team notedwell a sign posted in their hostsshower room which read "Follow theBall," and did that every moment ofthe contest.

Crosby vas the heavy-hitter of theafternoon by knocking out a triple, anda double with the bases loaded. Cul-linan duplicated -the double in thesecond inning following, the fifth. Forthe first two squares, the Engineershad been unable to find Whitacker,Trinity's heralded pitching ace, butthereafter found him easy prey. Hewas replaced in the fifth by Mlastron-arde who did little better.

Engineers Overcome NervousnessXervousness at first bothered the

Beavers, due to the fact that some 850people crowded the stands, most ofwhorm vere madly cheering for Trin-ity. However, after the first noveltyof this condition wore off, the opposi-tion merely redoubled the efforts ofthe Engineers, whose ability and game-ness soon became apparent in a col-lection of six runs and a display of anair-tight infield.

Only once in the contest were theBeavers behind on the tally sheet.That was in the second frame whenthe score stood 1 to 0 in favor of Trin-ity. Thereafter the Cambridge dele-gation was not threatened. Farwvell inthe box gave every indication of agreat find, and until the very cold airslowed him up, could not be touchedby the opponents. Johnson replacedhim in the last inning and held themscoreless through the aid of stronginfield support.

Trinity played good ball but wasunable to cope with the brand offeredby the Beavers. Whitacker and Mas-tronarde together issued only fivepasses to Engineers and David and

TELLS CHEMISTS OFI MEDICAL PROBLEMS|

Herty Talks on "Chemistry andHealth" Before A. C. S.

"Every human. body is a chemicalorganism, and the great life processesare chemical processes," declared Dr.Charles C. Herty, advisor of the Chem-ical Foundation, in an informal talkat the Institute Friday before the finalmeeting of the Northeastern section ofthe American Chemical Society.

Speaking on "Chemistry andiHealth," Dr. Herty gave a general dis-cussion of the importance of chemis-try to the American people and theneed of a widespread knowledge ofthat science. The medical professionin particular, he said, greatly needsmen with a training in organic, colloid-al, physical and boilogical chemistry,for many problems of health arepurely chemical in nature and cannotbe properly dealt with by the greatbody of mnedical men whose trainingin chemistry was neglected.

Dr. Herty suggested that Contgress-appropriate funds for the enlargementof the present public health servicefor fundamental scientific research in-to public health problems, and for thecollection and analysis of clinical datawhich would lead eventually to theabolition of such pestilences as cancer,pernicious anemia, tuberculosis andleprosy.

WILL FORM PARTOF FUTURE GROUP

SIMILAR TO '93Efforts of Dormitory Fund

Committee Rouses Wide-spread Interest

DEAN BURTON CHAIRMAN

One of the outstanding needs ofTechnology is rapidly nearing reality.Alumni of the Institute w'ill build twonew dormitories to adjoin the presentClass of 1893 Dormitory on the easternside of the Technology grounds, Pres-ident Samuel W. Stratton announcedSaturday. Work on the new buildings,which are to form part of the pro-posed quadrangle which when com-pleted will house 800 students, is ex.pected to begin early this summer.

The move to provide more dormi-tories, a pressing need of Technology,was started by Charles Hayden, prom-inent New York banker, of the Classof 1890, who made a gift of $100,000as a beginning for the million dollarDormitory Quadrangle campaign. Thiscontribution was soon followed by asimilar one from the Class of 1901while another $100,000 is forthcoming:from a source soon to be announced.An additional $400,000 has already'been assured of by the Alumni, accord-ing to former Dean Alfred E. Burton,.chairman of the Dormitory Fund Com-mittee. With this money available for-immediate use, construction of two,dormitory units similar to the 1899unit will be started in a short time.

Dr. Burton Raises EnthusiasmPlans for the proposed buildings

have been in charge of a group ofAlumni, and Dr. Burton who has car-ried out the details of the project, vis-iting Alumni in various parts of thecountry. He has been instrumental inarousing the Alumni all over the worldto the immediate need of dormitories.His recent trip to France, where hewas the guest of honor at an Alumnidinner in Paris, raised much enthu-siasm in the dormitory campaign.

In a statement late yesterday after-noon from the Alunii secretary-treas-urer about the proposed construction,Orville B. Denison '11 said, "My re-cent Western and Southern tours havegiven me the opportunity to appearbefore large groups of Alumni, andat all the gatherings every alumnusstood solidly to support the dormitorycampaign.. In the following cities ofOhio, Cleveland, Akron, Dayton, Cin-cinnati and Columbus, the AlumniClubs voted unanimous approval, while.in Pennsylvania the Alumni of Har-risburg, Pittsburgh and Philadelphiaresolved to build a Pennsylvania unitif sufficient contributions were forth-I comin.

PROFESSOR HARDYWILL VISIT WEST

Leaves This Week to TeachCourse at University of

California

Professor Arthur C. Hardy '8 of theDepartment of Physics, will leave forCalifornia this week to deliver acourse of lectures at the summer ses-sion of the University of California.On his way he will visit several impor-tant laboratories including the motionpicture production laboratories at Hol-lywood.

The importance of the motion pic-ture industry and the competition be-tween producers have aroused a keeninterest in the scientific aspects ofphotography in California. Hithertophotography has been considered eith-er as an art or a trade, and rule-of-thumb methods have prevailed. Suchmethods have been found so wastefuland costly, however, that a demandhas arisen on the part of producers formen having a knowledge of the latestdevelopments in photographic re-search.

A recent survey made by a southerncollege discloses the fact that only afew colleges in the country offercourses in photography. Of these fewcourses the one offered here at theInstitute has not only the largestenrollment but also is the only onein which the subject is presented froma scientific standpoint.

Professor Hardy has conducted itsince the death of Professor Derr in1923. He came to the Institute fromthe research laboratory of the East-man Kodak Co., and so brought withhim a first-hand knowledge of modernphotographic research. The laboratoryequipment used in connection with thecourse is extensive. Much of it wasbuilt in the shop of the Department ofPhysics because no apparatus satis-factory for the purpose was to befound on the market.

- ~~~~OUER SONG BOOK?

~BOUT a year and a half ago there wras a committee appoint-ed for the purpose of gathering the numerous Technology

songs and eventually publishing a song book. It is not the prop-er time now to point out the merits of such a song book for theundergraduates have long realized the necessity of having anew one and agr ee that there should be such a book. However,it is now high time to question why the second committee ap-pointed to dispense with the task of placing the song book inthe students' hands, has failed to do so?

Ill 1926, the committee woas headed by two Se-niors. It isunderstood that they there handicapped because of long illnessof one of their members, but after they resumed work again,the end of the term found them in difficulties with copyrights.A complete year passed and since then a new committee hasbeen appointed, again headed by two members of the Seniorclass. Up to this time they have not given a report of their-progress to the u~ndergraduates. The student body did theirshare and showed their interest in the matter, when they sulb-mitted copies of the many songrs popular at the Institute.

Last year's committee promised the book for early in the fallof 1926, surely in doing so they must have seen a clear way. Itcan not be possible that the present committee found new andgreater difficulties that wetre not foreseen by the old committeeand could not be overcome in nine months time. All this str ong-ly suggests a case of Ilegligence. We suggest that a report ofthe comnmittee be made immediately, for at least the under-graduates deserve that. All difficulties can be overcome, and-there -must be a Technology song book.

REBUILDING A LITERA1RY ...7!N.E

T HE AMERICAN Shakespeare Foundation was recently or-ganized to raise $1,000,000 as America's share in the $2,-

500,000 international fund which is flow being collected tobuild a suitable theatre at Stratf:crd-on-Avon, England and to-endow' a school of the English speaking drama as well as thelibrary of Shakespeare. The theatre will replace the famousMemorial Theatre which was built in 1879 and destroyed byfire a year ago.

The Foundation is America's only medium fors participationin the international movement to rebuild and endow the Shake-speare Theatre. The Americanl National Committee oft theFoundation is made up of distinguished representatives of theAmerican Theatre, American Arts and Letters, the professions,of Law, Mqedicine. Banking and Industry, the American Judie-iary, the Press, the Chnurches, the academic and diplomaticAvorlds and others. From these have been chosen the ExecutiveCommittee.I

Universities, colleges, and preparatory schools throughout theUnited States have been included in the campaign to help raisethe money required. Fifty-four secondary schools and elevencolleges already have announced intentions of contributing tothe fund. Technology has been included inl a group of forty-eight colleges to aid in the drive and the work is now in chargeof the Department of English and History. All gifts of onedollar or more entitle the doinor to have his name included withthat of other contributors and kept in the new memorial.

The Stratford Memorial Theatre appeals with a peculiarforce to our hope and generosity. It is a m-onuraent to litera-ture- and is an enterprise tried and found successful.

Black Mfaria Breaks UpFraternity Ball Gazme

It was'supposed to have beena scheduled league ball gamebetween the Phi Kappa Sigma'sand the Phi Kappa's but the for-mer house arrived' a half hourearly and in the absence of op-ponents started a ball gameamong themselves at six o'clockFriday morning on the BostonLatin School's diamond on theFenway. Thne early awakeninghead in no way, shape or mannerdetoriated theat hearty lustinessof voice with which most M. I.T. students are gifted.

Fifteen mixnutes later theyheard the approaching clang,clang, of Station 16's ever-ready"Black Maria." The night shiftof the guardians of the city hadbeen ready to go home and itwas indeed pitiful that it hadben called out for a petty base-ball game. The "paddy wagon"rolled up while one of the gruffbuck sergeants of Boston's finestbawled out "What school are youfellows from?" "'Tech,"S squeakedout the faint answer. "Well, I'llTech you if you don't beat it andlet these people in the apart-ments here sleep" was the men-acing reply of I'Sarge." Where-upon the ball game retreated tothe more protected baseball dia-mnonds of the Institute.

But 60,000 of 200,000 StudentsEntering Colleges Will

Graduate

Last Fall over 200,000 freshmen en-tered the American colleges, and ofthis number 70,000 will fail to returnduring their Sophlomore syear, and on-ly 60,000 out of this total number willever receive degrees, is the predicitonrecently made in an article on enroll-ment. Tile article continues, that 80per cent of the energies of the facultyand administration are absorbed bythe lowest 15 or 20 per cent of thestudents.

In connection w~ith this prediction,The Daily Webraskuan offers a numberof reasons for the American Univer-sities failing to attract and keep highclass men on their faculty staff.

"The freshman and Sophomoreclasses of practically all colleges anduniversities from the lar gest to thesmallest are glutted and choked. In-stead of having a top-heavy organiza-tionl, we have a bottom-heavy organi-zation which drags down the rest ofthe struceture-the flowering Junior,Senior, and Graduate years.

Young Instructors Downed"'Drags it down because too large a

part of the faculty must of necessitybe occupied with instruction of stuv-dents in the ele-nieutaryr courses. Thismeans either that good professors must spend much of their valulabletime teaching elementary courses whenthey should be leading older studentsin advanced work, or that the facultyis glutted with a lower level of instruc-tors who understand well the meremechanics of the subjects they areteaching and are ably by simple rotemethod to impart their grain of knlowl-edge from year to year, but who arenot qualified ellougll to attain the highl-er professional ranks. It also meansthat lreally capable young instructorsare doomed to seieral years of sub-merged teaching before they can hope

"Above all this disproportion of un-derclassmen means that colleges anduniversities must spend too large a

drop out, at the expense of a moreIcomplete education of those who getn the full benefit of the full four years

swamped each year with applicantsand are able to pick their studentson the basis of merit and qualifica-tions, always picking those whom theythink will benefit most by the educa-tion. The system varies from recom-mendations by graduates of that in-Istitution to picking them after givingall the applicants some of the mostadvanced intelligence tests. It is im-possible to state just how successfulthese qualifications have been, for ol-ly recently some of the officials ofthese universities have said that theywere in favor of a still more qualita-tive selection of students.

Red and Black CommentsFurther comment on this theme, is

offered by T7le Red and, Black of theUniversity of Georgia in its editorial

' columns as "thlis plan might provevery successful in these private in-stitutions where the offlcials of the!university have power over the matri-culation and attending such a schoolis a privilege rather than a right.

"But, state universities, which prob-ably have the largest disproportion of'underclassmen, and in these universi-ties it would be very different in try-ing to limit the enrollment of fouryear men, as some of the private in-stitutions have done. Most everyoneis a taxpayer of some sort and in con-sequence they claim the right to sendtheilr sol or daughter to a state uni-versity.

"Practically every attempt made by'state universities throughout thecountry to limit their enrollment hasmet with the opposition of the peopleof the state who demand their chil-dren be admitted. There are also somepeople who even question the right ofa state university to dismiss studentswho fail after matriculation to meetthe standards expected of them.

"We therefore find most state uni-versities laboring under a very pecul-iar hancicap. They usually receivemore than. their share of the hundredsof students -who drop out of school atthe end of the first and second years.They are forced to accept all of thesestudents -vithout aly discrimination |and in manyc cases they must accom-plifsh this with the limited funds thatare appropriated by the state legisla-tures whicl usually do not know ofthe proble s involved."

Dribbling is IBy New B

|Basketball Rule Will Slow Up| Game In Preventing

Roughness

Not to be outdone by the FootballRules Committee, the joint Basket-ball Rules Committee, at its annualsession in Newi- York, made an evenmore drastic change in the basketballplaying code than was made last win-ter in the gridiron rules. This changewas the practical elimination of thedribble by restricting it to a singlebound. The number of bounds waspreviously unlimited.

The new rule, according to officialsof the committee, was adopted "toeliminate roughness and to encourageteam play." It was adopted unaniimously by the committee after threehours' discussion. It will go into ef-fect next season ana will apply to allamateur games.

The change is expected to revolu-tionize the court game. Tle dribblehas been one of basketball's mostspectacular feat res and its abolitionwill remove much of the game's thrillfrom the spectator's point of view.Considerably lower scores should re-suit since a team's defense'will beharder to pierce wvhen its opponentscannot resort to the Iribble. Thechange will also slow up the game con-siderablyr

A certain amount of roughness wvillprobably be eliminated by the rule and,of course, a much greater premiumwill be placed on passwork and teamplay. These advantages appear to bemore than offset by the disadvantages,however, and already cries of protestX,1I disapproval are being heard onall sides. Basketball officials appearto be the chief benefacto s by thechan-e as games will be easier toreferee.

Taco other changes of lesser import-ance were made by the Rules Cor-nittee. One of these is a provision

that "time out" shall be taken ol allfouls. Heretofore, time out has beentaken only on technical fouls and onpersonal fouls calling for two or morefree tlrows. It is estimated that thisrule will add from three to five min-utes to the actual playing time of theaverage game.

The other change forbids the ref-eree to blow his whistle on jump ballsexcept at the beginning of periods andafter a "time out."

notice. "Gentlemen, it is positivelyguaranteed to work in fifteen minutes,whether it is used on a college manor a Tech man. Simply give him halfa glass of good olive oil, and in onequarter of an hour your man is as goodas ever." It must be a case of usingmore poison as an antidote; can Youimagine getting a man well oiled toput him on his feet again?

The Lounger finds that he has ne.glected complimenting Prof. Drisko onhis very soothing voice. Oh, but hereally means it! Else how could somany things be going on in thesehumid topics lectures without otherinterference than the confoundedswitching on and off of lights. Thelatest pastime the Lounger has no.ticed is a hand or so of cards whilethe professor is practicing his drawingon the board. The Lounger sincerelyhopes that he doesn't take these ob.servations too much to heart, though,and discontinue the lectures-oh, myno-because a little recreation is goodfor the best of men.

The Lounger notes with pride thatTechnology undergraduates are notabove a bit of clean sport. One wouldthink from the student attendance atthe Beaver slaughters that any sortof athletics was merely sniff ed at bythe learned but bagged Techers, yet itis quite apparent now that all thatw-as laclhing wvas the athletics. Sogreat vas mob that came out to seetile practice session with t. e. n. thatthere is no longer any doubt as to thesporting instinct at M. I. T. MIoral forthe other teams at the Institute: it#tou want a crowd, let them see thatbou are going to give them somethingworth even standing in the rain towatch.

A word of warning to the Facultyin general: It was noted that MisterRoss of the T. C. A. was closeted -withone of the T. E. N. secretaries (in aninterview) for more than half an hourthe other day in his private offlce. TheLounger hastens to beg the Facultykindly to refrain from any emulationof the above, simply for the sake ofthe Institute's reputation. For whilenothing sat all could come of such do-ings by a T. C. A. man, it must be re-membered that not everyone has themoral sanction of a T. C. A. reputation(thank Gawd), and in these wild daysthe world might talk. So, Faculty,get chaperones for them there secreta-ries of yours.

Supe Crowley of the Boston Police;recently made the unique statementthat he greatly preferred having uni-versity men on his force. In fact, heeven thought college athletes madevery superior patrolmen, though ex'perience in the sports world was ba'no means essential to the profession.He has already 300 eddicated mnenserving under him, diploma 'nevery-thing.

Now if the Institute doesn't takethis advantage to add a few morecourses to the curriculum, something's|ro W 1g. Think of the practical sideof it. With a few good solid telrmsof police training-instead for instanceof -Mil Science-a man would reallybe equipped to make his way il the} orld when he finished his five or sixyears here. It would be immenselybelter to have a trade ready to fallback on when he is finally disillusionedabout the demand for first class engi-neers; then no time would be wastedin working from the ditches up, fol' afellowi· coud trot confidently over tothe nearest station, flick his diplomabefore the eyes of the admiring caP-tain, and in no time at all come out inone of those nattybluecoats. C'mon,Faculty, let's make a college eucationgive a fellow a chance in life.
