GOLF WITH A PURPOSECollege Men Advised to Make the Game an Extra Curricular "Study’’ as

An Aid to Business SuccessBy Bart Andress*

OFTEN has it been said that “more of the nation’s business is done on golf courses than in office buildings.” Whether this assertion be unqualifiedly true or not, an eminent

Maine alumnus comes forward with sufficient belief in it to recommend proficiency in the game as an essential element in a young man’s preparation for business or professional life. “Make a business of golf,” is his epigrammatic ad­vice, “and golf will make bus­iness for you.”

Asked to reflect upon what a young man should hope to get out of college, Ray Park­er Stevens, ’98, an eminently successful electrical engineer, with offices at 120 Broadway,New York City, made a num­ber of observations which were both practical and ideal­istic. And most unexpectedly and convincingly he intro­duced the pursuit of the little white ball over the smooth, green fairways, not merely as a desirable form of recreation, but as an important factor in achieving personal success.

Mr. Stevens wanted it un­derstood at the outset he was not giving disproportionate importance to this phase of a student’s equipment for later life. “Of course,” he said,“the vital things which a young man gets out of college are mental discipline, ability to reason constructively, funda­mental knowledge, and associ­ations which prove helpful after graduation—in other words, he gets a starting point, both intellectually and socially, which is a tremendous advantage over the boy who has not had college training. I am merely proposing that the student make it a point to ‘take golf’—so to speak—as an extra­curricular activity, at the same time that he is ‘taking’ his lan­guages and sciences, and to take it with equal seriousness, under

competent tutelage, if possible, because of its undeniable value to him in the world of affairs. While business may not liter­ally be done on the golf course, associations are formed and maintained there which indisputably have practical as well as

social value.”It developed during the con-

versation that Mr. Stevens’ belief in this aspect of the game is so firm that he has instructed his own son to take lessons, as an extra-curricular responsibility, from the best professional he can find. Fur­thermore. he has told his son that he wants him not only to learn the game, but to learn it well, and that if the boy’s progress seemed to be slow, he would pay for any number of extra lessons, within rea­son, just as willingly as he would have him tutored in an academic study in which he might have fallen behind.

‘ Let us approach the ques­tion in this way,” said Mr. Stevens, amplifying his point. "Few men in any walk of life—excepting only an occa­sional outstanding genius — win unusual success on knowl­edge, ability or talent alone. These are necessary, of course, and that is where college training enters so vitally into a young man’s equipment. But the personal equation is, in the last analysis, the factor which will determine his progress. The man who is to get ahead is the one who can mix well, and wear well, with other people; the one who is versatile in his interests, and

capable of subordinating business to other subjects in which his associates or prospective associates might be interested. Wemight conceivably admire a human thinking machine, but rarelydo we like him; and it is the man we like, more often than not, with whom we do business. Standards of efficiency are so

high today that in many lines there is little competition on that score. Whether a contract or a piece of business is awarded to one firm or another is most generally determined by the per­sonal relationships among the men involved.

“This is not a modern development in any sense. It has nothing to do with Babbittism. I am not urging people to be hand-shakers As a matter of fact, artificial good-fellowship will get a person disliked quite as rapidly as complete absence of personal attractiveness. The point is that for ages men have been aware that whatever wit, humor, accomplishment or personal charm they might possess has been of decided useful­ness to them in achieving success. The influence of these qual­ities may be indirect, but it is inevitable.

“Now, it so happens that today the golf course is common ground on which most business and professional men meet in their leisure hours Not only are they devoted to the game itself, but they like the opportunity it gives them for relaxed contact with their fellow-men. Here strong personal bonds grow out of the pursuit of a common recreational interest, and these bonds are naturally carried from the course and the clubhouse into every-day business affairs. The man who doesn’t know the game, therefore, or who has postponed learning it until it is too late for him to develop a good game, is distinctly

‘on the outside looking in.’ This is why I advocate learning the game early in life. Once mastered, it can easily be revived whenever a person finds it useful or desirable to do so.”

The only stipulation in Mr. Stevens’ recommendation— based upon sound common sense—is suggested in this last sen­tence. While he insists that a young man should learn the game during his college days, he insists likewise that he put it aside, or at least make it a minor interest, until he has become well established in his business or profession.

“I have known of many young men,” he added, “who have allowed a golf obsession to interfere with their business prog­ress. This defeats the purpose I have in mind. A young man just starting out cannot afford either the time or the money— particularly the time—that the game requires. I do not say that he must drop his game completely. There is no reason why he shouldn’t play on week-ends or holidays. But his devotion to his business must be undivided until he is in a position to spare time and money for outside activities. When he has established himself, and has become accepted among other men who are doing things in business, he will thank his stars that golf is one of his accomplishments, and that he learned to play while he was young.”

Ray P. Stevens Is ProminentPublic Utility Executive

GOLFERS and non golfers alike will like to know more about one who has such firm convictions regarding the famous game. Ray P. Stevens has been and still is an

outstandingly successful public utility executive, being associ­ated with many important companies. From reading a story of Mr. Stevens’ life one can readily account for his achieve­ments. There are evidences of inventive genius, of the pioneer in the field of electrification and in public relations as well as evidence that big projects have not been stumbling blocks but rather stepping stones to further successes.

Eastport claims Mr. Stevens as one of its natives. He pre­pared for the University at Ellsworth High School later at the Eastern Maine Conference Seminary at Bucksport.

Mr. Stevens was graduated from the University in 1898, having specialized in electrical engineering. During his college course he was especially active in baseball and military. In the former he was scorer (that must have been some job at times judging from the scores) and later manager, while in the cadets he rose to a captaincy

His first occupation was that of Electrical Engineer with the Electrical Wiring & Supply Co., of Boston, and much of the automatic fire-alarm apparatus now in use is his invention.

He then joined the American Bell Telephone Co. in Bos­ton, taking the student’s course, later going to the General Electric Co. at Lynn, Mass., taking the student’s course there preparatory for consulting engineering construction and opera­tion work, specializing in public utilities. He resigned this con­nection to go into the consulting engineering business designing and building, at Everett, Wash., entirely new railway, light and power systems.

Mr. Stevens also supervised the construction and design of the interurban line and the electrification of the tracks of the Northern Pacific Railway from Everett to Snohomish (the

first steam road electrified in America) before finishing taking the management of the railway and light properties in Everett.

Mr. Stevens later became General Manager of the Auburn & Syracuse Electric Railroad Co., Auburn, N .Y .; Auburn & Northern Electric Railroad Co., and Skaneateles Lake Trans­portation Co.

In July, 1907, he was elected President of the Lehigh Valley Transit Co, establishing the limited Pullman Service, between Allentown and Philadelphia and erecting the South Eighth Street Bridge at Allentown, at the time the greatest reinforced concrete bridge in the world. During Mr. Stevens administration of this property he inaugurated what is now some of the standard practice in employee and public relations work. He was one of the early advocates of, and specialized in, intensive public relations work for utilities.

In 1916, Mr. Stevens came to New York as President of Republic Railway & Light Co., holding company of the same properties, becoming President of its successor Company, Penn- Ohio Edison Company, upon its incorporation in 1923 and serving as such until 1929, when he resigned this Presidency as well as the Presidency of Allied Power & Light Corpora­tion, which office he held since the latter’s formation in May

1928, to accept the Presidency of Niagara Hudson Power Corporation. He resigned as President on Nov. 21, 1929, to devote his time to his personal interests, after completing the consolidation and organization of Niagara Hudson Power Corporation.

Mr. Stevens is Chairman of the Board of Stevens & Wood, Incorporated, Engineers and Constructors, of New York City and Jackson, Michigan, doing a general engineering and con­struction business throughout the United States and Alaska for Public Utilities and Industrials. Included in the work which

Personnel of Endowment and Donations Committee AnnouncedThe November Alumnus contained an

article by President H .S . Boardman '95 announcing the new type of activity known as Endowment and Donations which is being undertaken cooperatively by the University and the Alumni Asso­ciation The personnel of the committee charged with the supervision of this work has been completed and the first meeting was held in Portland Novem­ber 8.

Dr. Boardman is chairman of the com­mittee, as specified in the plan which has been approved by both the Board of Trustees and the Alumni Council of the General Alumni Association. Hosea B. Buck ’93 of Bangor, well known among alumni for his long service in various offices, also alumni trustee and chairman of the Trustees Executive Committee, is the trustee representative on the com­mittee.

Alumni members of this important group are the following: Hon. W. R. Pattangall, 1884, of Augusta, Chief Jus­tice of the Supreme Court of Maine; George O. Hamlin, 1900, of New York City, vice-president and sales manager of the Viscose Company; Dr. Robert R Drummond, 1905, of Orono, head of the German department at the University; Howard G. Philbrook, 1909, of Boston, an executive with Stone and Webster Engineering Corp.; Edward E. Chase, 1913, of Portland, president of the Maine Securities Company, and Raymond H Fogler, 1915, of New York City, director of Personnel and Real Estate, W T. Grant Co., and also president of the General Alumni Association.

Three Engineer College Mates at California Meeting

At a meeting in Long Beach, Cali­fornia, some distance from the Maine campus sat three University alumni ac­cording to the Long Beach Sun of Sep­tember 17.

The three men were, Frank E. Wey­mouth ’96, chief engineer of the Metro­politan Water district, James W. Mar­tin ’95, an engineer, and E .S . Bryant ’98, engineer of the municipal gas de­partment. The occasion was an address being given by Mr. Weymouth before the Men’s City Club on the subject of the Colorado River Aqueduct, a project which will involve millions of dollars. The aqueduct will be a minimum of 231 miles long with 55 miles of tunnel.

Pine Tree “ M” Awarded toHarry E. Sutton, ’09

The first Alumni Service Emblem, spoken of as the “Pine Tree M", went to Harry E. Sutton of the class of 1909. The award was made by Arthur L. Deer- ing T2, vice-president of the General Alumni Association as the final part of the Maine Night Program

Before making the presentation, Mr. Deering mentioned that this emblem is to be awarded annually to an alumnus who has rendered outstanding service to the General Alumni Association and the University. The basis of award was discussed after which the audience was held in suspense while the qualifications of the person to receive the handsome 12 x 16 shield on which is a bronze pine tree with a big raised M placed conspicu­ously thereon. Finally when Mr. Deer- ing announced the name there was a burst of applause indicating their approv­al of the choice as Mr. Sutton was ac­companied to the platform.

Harry, as he is familiarly known has held offices in the Boston Alumni Asso­ciation, been a member of the Alumni Council for more than ten years, served as president of the General Alumni As­sociation for three years, has been a member of both Memorial Fund com­mittees and is now chairman of the Special Gifts committee which is charged with raising the balance of funds to build the Memorial Gymnasium Be­sides these services he has rendered many others of greater or lesser importance.

President Boardman Asks Some Pointed Educational Questions

( I t is the policy of the Alum nus to reprin t addresses or a r t ic le s which h a ve a lready ap peared in type, only when there seems to be special reason tor doing so The following excerpts were taken from an art ic le w ri t ten by P re s id en t Boardman en t i t led “ A Few Re­flections” , which appeared in the September, 1930, num ber of The Journal of E ng ineer ing Education published by the Society for the Promotion of E n g in ee r i ng Education of which Dr Boardman w as recently elected presi­den t Editor)

“Does the present day educator take himself too seriously? In this day of intense endeavor to develop the best ways of doing things and of following the slo­gan “efficiency” are we losing our per­spective and letting the present and our ideas of the future overshadow the past? In our desire to become educated our­selves, are we worshipping research and Ph D. degree and allowing only the over­flow to reach the undergraduate student? Are we using human material to experi­ment upon in our laboratories of life in an attempt to put our pet theories of ed­ucation into practice? Are we riding a hobby when we make mathematical de­ductions by use of personnel systems, in-telligence tests, placement examinations, et cetera, and say to this student thou shalt and to that student thou shalt not?

“The present age of educational experi­mentation has been pregnant with so much in the wav of reports and disserta­tions upon this and that phase of the sub­ject that one is likely to become lost in his endeavor to arrive at logical conclu­sions based upon so many premises, many of which are diametrically opposite. It is true that there are different ways of doing things and we may arrive at cer­tain objectives by various routes. There are, however, certain fundamental prin­ciples which should be our guide in teach­ing the young and untrained mind. These principles have stood the test of time and apparently cannot be replaced by sub­stitutes if we would develop the scholar, and I take it that a high type of scholar­ship nowadays indicates ability in engi­neering as well as in arts or in the older professional curricula.

“To me. one of the most important re­quirements in teaching is the develop­ment of a personal relation between teacher and pupil Too many of our teachers fail to grasp the student view­point with the result that a constantly widening breach is created between stu­dent and teacher which has a tendency to develop anything but a spirit of good feeling, without which cooperation is im­possible Too many teachers appear to put their chief efforts upon the develop-

R. E. Davis, 11 is Consulting Engineer on Hoover Dam

For several alter I graduatedfrom the University in 1907, I headed an Indian file of Maine men After I had held a job until the novelty was be­ginning to wear off, and as soon as I had landed a better one, along came Bob Steward, ’08, and stepped into the old one, doing the thing a lot better, of course; but I was safely away, so I did­n’t mind. When Bob moved up into my second track, along conies a chap by the name of Davis and settles down in the first job, to make that over to his liking. And so on This was called to my at­tention by the recent announcement of the appointment of Raymond E Davis as Consulting Engineer on the concrete work of the Hoover Dam.

I have been watching R. E for a long time. I used to look back on him. Now I have to strain my eyes forward. He casts an increasing shadow—profession­ally, I mean, not physically Maine has graduated a lot of Davises and they have been a likely lot taken by and large, but this R. E is a particularly shining exam­ple of the industry, ability, amiability and aggressiveness that we like to think is characteristic of Maine men. And he’s ne\er lost his native qualities Although he is Professor of Civil Engineering at the gigantic University of California, he’s still unmistakably a native son not of the Golden West but of the State of Maine

He’s a hound for punishment. Being a Professor just about overwhelms some men in their dignified tracks, but with R E. that’s merely the starting line. His researches in concrete—that’s where he first became addicted to big dams—have led to his selection as a Director of the American Concrete Institute The build­ing program of the University of Cali­fornia—a sizeable business—having long been tucked away under one arm, what more natural than that he should be looking about for a wee $165,000,000 job to fill the aching void under the other? He’s a hea\y contributor to several na­tional technical societies and a great traveller and writer He plays a mean game of croquet People out in sunny California seem to like to bring their problems to Davis to be solved. Which obviously is as it should be—that’s wh at Maine men are doing everywhere. At least, I trust so.

EDW IN J. HASKELLFrom a day way back in 1868 when he

entered the institution until the last mo­ment of his life, Edwin J. Haskell, a graduate of the first class to go out from the Maine State College in 1872, was devoted to his Alma Mater. When he died suddenly, November 6, of a heart attack, the University lost not only an interested but also an active alumnus.

Mr. Haskell lived almost his entire business life in Westbrook where he was one of the founders of the Haskell Silk Mills, of which he was manager and sup­erintendent until 1922 when he retired He was active in his community.

E dwi n J H askell, ’72

For eighteen years he served as alum­ni trustee until the age limit forced him to retire at which time the University conferred an honorary degree upon him. He was the father of four sons all of whom are graduates of Maine.

At the meeting of the Alumni Council the following resolution was adopted:

With the passing of EDWIN J. HASKELL, a graduate of the Uni­versity of Maine, class of 1872, the University and the General Alumni Association loses one of her most ardent admirers, loyal supporters and an outstanding alumnus. Mr. Has­kell never lost interest in his Alma Mater, always attended local and General Alumni Association meet­ings when possible, held prominent offices in those organizations, was a frequent, even regular visitor on the campus, and rendered distinguished

Carleton '12, Loans Prism to High School Library

A recent letter from Edward F. Carle- ton. 1912, athletic director in Asbury Park (N. J.) High School, reads in part as follows: “I have been in the habit of getting a Prism each year and loaning it to the High School Library here, giving the students a chance to see what is going on down there.’’

Perhaps this partially explains how we happen to have had several students come to the University from that city. At least one may say it has been a contrib­uting factor. It is sometimes difficult if not impossible to say what really causes boys and girls to select this or that uni­versity or college.

Ray P. Stevens Is Prominent Public Utility Executive

(Continued from Page 52)

Stevens & Wood, Incorporated, are now doing is the design and construction of the world’s largest 1400 lb. steam pres­sure electric generating plant on the Del­aware River.

Mr. Stevens is also President of Amer­ican Electric Power Corporation, Penn­sylvania Gas & Electric Corporation, Al­legheny Gas Company and Southeastern Ice Utilities Company. He is a Director of Allied Power & Light Corporation, American Superpower Corporation, Com­mercial National Bank & Trust Com­pany, Consumers Power Company, Elec­tric Railway Securities Company, Com­monwealth & Southern Corporation, Gen­eral Realty & Utilities Corporation, and Niagara Hudson Power Corporation.

A few months ago the R. P. Stevens Company, Incorporated was formed with Mr Stevens as president. The business of this corporation is the management, financing, consolidation of a dealing in public utility properties.

Mr. Stevens is a member of the Met­ropolitan Club, Engineers’ Club, Bankers Club of America, Engineers’ Country Club, Round Hill Club, New York Yacht Club, Indian Harbor Yacht Club, Boca Raton Club and Seaview Golf Club.

His fraternal affiliations are: Jordan Lodge, F. & A. M., Allentown, Pa.; Lodge No. 479 B.P.O.E., Everett, Wash­ington; and Phi Gamma Delta Frater­nity.

On August 5, 1903, Mr. Stevens was married at Islesboro, Maine, to Brina C. Pendleton, of that city, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fields C. Pendleton and their children are : Edwin P. and Alice P. Stevens.

Memorial Fund Has More than $100,000 on Deposit

Reports submitted to the Alumni Council at its meeting in Portland, No­vember 9, show that the Memorial Fund now has more than $100,000 on deposit in the savings departments of five Ban­gor banks.

It is expected that this amount will be increased substantially by the second campaign payments which came due early in November. Judging from the vol­ume of the first responses, most alumni who have a payment due now are going to discharge the obligation. Many are paying the entire amount of the balance of their subscription, an act which the committee greatly appreciates.

Mr. Deering in his report indicated that on October 31, one-third of all the second campaign subscriptions had been paid in full, and that a relatively small per cent of first and second payments had not been made.

Many first campaign subscriptions have been paid in full during the past year and nearly 100 have made their first payment indicating that many who up to this time have felt unable to make a payment are now ready to discharge their obligation. Especially pleasing is the fact that a considerable number are sending monthly payments.

Although $100,000 is a nice “nest egg” and is earning a substantial interest for the Fund, yet it is a long way from the amount needed for the construction of the Gymnasium. Alumni are urged to “pay up” their subscriptions, in small amounts if necessary, but “pay up.”

ment of themselves and use their position as a stepping stone in their upward ca­reer, giving their students the benefit of their knowledge in so far as they can with convenience. Too many teachers, having arrived at a position of responsi­bility, look down from the heights in­stead of coming down to mingle with the crowd. To be a scholar is a fine thing if it does not, through specializa­tion, narrow the horizon so that one for­gets fundamentals and the good things of life and becomes interested only in some phase of his particular field.”

1901 chooses to reunion under the old plan and will observe its thirtieth anni­versary next June.

Prof. C. P. Weston, ’96 ChiefSpeaker at Maine Night

About 2000 alumni, faculty and stu­dents attended Maine Night, held in the Indoor Field, October 31. President H. S Boardman, ’95, was chairman of the evening and Prof. Charles P. Weston, ’96, was the chief speaker.

At 7 20 Maine’s band, composed of about 80 pieces, started the program and ten minutes later the speakers mounted the improvised platform on which was a “mike”, a part of the new public ad-

T he P ike T ree “M”

dress system purchased last Spring by the University. After Dean Corbett, chairman of the Maine Night committee, introduced President Boardman as pre­siding officer, Margaret “Stubby” Burrill, ’32, spoke. She was followed by Lin- wood “Lon” Cheney, '31.

Coach Fred Brice, now serving his ninth year as a coach at Maine, discussed the prospects for the Colby game. It was perhaps the first, certainly one of the few Maine Nights when the football captain did not speak, or at least was not on the platform.

Then came Coach Chester A. Jenkins who at the conclusion of his remarks presented Gunning and Brooks, co-cap­tains of cross country. Songs, led by Ermo Scott, ’31, cheers led by Sam Sav­age, ’31, and music was interspersed throughout the evening’s program.

Prof. Weston’s talk, “The Main Thing” was well received. After the singing of the Stein Song came the Bon­fire and another bit of history had been made.

New Plan for Electing Store Co.Stockholders

As a result of a new plan of repre­sentation, recently adopted by the direc­tors of the University Store Co, the number of stockholders has been in­creased from six to eleven and the meth­od of appointment or election has been changed The reorganization has already taken place

The stockholders list is now as fol­lows. alumni R. H. Fogler '15, New York City F Freese '15 Bangor, F. D Crowell. 17. Bangor; and C. E. Crossland '17. Orono; faculty, Dr. R. R. Drummond '05 J. A Gannett '08, M. D. Jones 12 and B C Kent 12; students, D Marshall 31, E Brooks '31 and W. Riley '32. Prof L S Corbett, dean of men and chairman of the Athletic Board, who has served for several years expressed his desire to be relieved from membership on the Board and was not appointed under the new plan.

There has been more or less discussion of a new plan of control of the store for some time Last spring the former stock­holders and directors met with the Ath­letic Board and a committee appointed to study the situation The outcome of this conference was an agreement whereby

each year stockholders would be elect­ed by three organizations as follows: the University administration to appoint four, the alumni council to elect four and three to be elected by the students, president of the Athletic Association and senior and junior members of the Ath­letic Board

Heretofore there have been five stock­holders who were also the directors, which group filled vacancies as they oc­curred, being a self perpetuating body. It was felt that such a plan of control was not sufficiently representative, there­fore the new method was adopted.

The directors elected at an adjourned annual meeting held November 19 are ; B. C. Kent '12. Dr R. R. Drummond ’05, F. D. Freese '15, F. D. Crowell '17 and D. Marshall '31. Mr. Kent waschosen president, Irving Pierce, treasurerand Harold Bruce ’20, new manager ofthe store, clerk.

A Big SuggestionFrom John M. Oak ’73 there came re­

cently a short memo as follows—“Some ambitious class might be interested to do a similar service for the University.” Attached to his note were two views of college gates or entrances. Second the motion, Mr. Oak a good suggestion and not too big for a live class.

DeWolfe 07 Appointed LawMember of Alumni Council

Fourteen members of the Alumni Council attended the fall meeting held November 9. A m ong the important ac­tions taken at that session was the ap­pointment of Robert W. DeWolfe, 1907, of Portland, as the Law School repre­sentative on the Council, the position having been vacant for some time.

Reports of various officers and com­mittees were received and approved, in­cluding report of Paul D. Bray ’14, treasurer; finance committee, report of M D Jones '12. chairman; Memorial Fund, treasurer’s statement. Ralph Whit­tier ’02; Memorial Fund committee re­port by A.

New Regulations to Govern Sale of Football Tickets in 31

Next fall alumni will want to read more carefully the regulations governing the advanced sale of tickets for football games, for two important changes have been adopted by the Athletic Board.

First alumni will be restricted to six seats in center or near center sections of the stands. This regulation does not limit the number of tickets which may be ordered but it does mean that if more than six are desired the order will have to be split and the number in excess of six will be assigned separately unless the order is a late one or in a deferred class which would automatically eliminate the application of the rule since no seats in middle sections would be available. Fur­thermore it is understood that alumni who order tickets agree to use one of them.

Second: the closing date for alumni reservations will be ten days before the game This year the limit has been eight but it does not allow sufficient time to allot seats, fill the orders and mail the tickets to reach distant points at least three days before the date of the game involved. Consideration is being given to a plan for receiving and filling advance orders from non-alumni before tickets are put on public sale.

Unfortunately there have been a few alumni who have ordered tickets thru students and expect them to be secured thru the alumni office. While this has been done in the past, there is reason to believe that this privilege has been abused; consequently reservations from students who state they are ordering for alumni cannot be honored. The students will have to purchase when public sale begins.

It is obvious as the number of alumni increases it will be necessary to change the regulations from time to time to af­ford the greatest number possible the ticket service they desire. While most of the seats in the concrete stand are good, fine as compared with any in the big stadia of the country, yet it is but natural that the demand should continue to be—"high up on the fifty yard line.”

The November Illinois Alumni News says: “Some people do not know when they're well off. The University of Maine is out with a new song, “The University of Maine Band.” We can’t quite agree with Illinois. We were well off before, and we knew it; now we are better off because we have another real song.

THE MAINE ALUMNUS 57

Succession of ThreeBy some law of chance, or otherwise, three Maine men have headed the department of Mechanical Engineering at Case School

of Applied Science in Cleveland. The pictures of these men are presented below.

H Benjamin a native of Patten, Maine,w a s th e f ir s t M a in e m a n a p p o in ted

professor of mechanical engineering at Case. After completing his engineering course at Maine, he was appointed instructor in 1880 and was raised to the rank of professor in 1883. In 1881 he was given an M E. degree. In 1886 he left Maine and for three years was engineer with the McKay Shoe Machinery Company. It was in 1889 that he accepted professorship at Case where he remained until 1907 when he resigned to become Dean of the Engineering School at Purdue University. Dr. Benjamin retired in 1921 since which time he has traveled and followed Ins hobby of painting. He was honored by Case with a Doctor of Engineering degree in 1908 and by Maine in 1929 by an LL.D. He is a member of many societies including Sigma Xi and Tau Beta Pi. He has written an interesting article which will appear in a later number of the Alumnus.

1892. was the second man to be profes-Dr. Robert H. Fernald, sor of mechanical engineering at CaseSchool. His term was from 1907 until 1912. Dr. Fernald is a son of Dr. M. C. Fernald, for many years a president of the Maine State College. Following grad- uation Dr. Fernald took advanced work at M.l.T. In 1893 he became a member of the Case School faculty leaving in 1902 to become professor of mechanical engineering at Washington University, St. Louis. Five years later he returned to Case in a similar capacity, which position he held until going to the University of Pennsylvania as professor of dynamical engineering. Early this year he was made Dean of the Towne Scientific School at the same institution In addition to these positions, Dr. Fernald has done much research work and been engaged as a consulting engineer by different organizations. A more complete statement of Dr. Fern aid’s career was published in The Alumnus a few months ago.

Fred H Vose of Cleveland, Ohio, succeeded Dr. Fernald in 1912and is still head of the department. Following graduation

as an electrical engineer, Mr. Vose was instructor in Mechanical Engineering at Washington University, St. Louis, later being promoted to assistant professor. In 1909 he went to Case School as assistant professor, being advanced to full pro­fessorship in 1914, having been in charge of the Department for two years. In 1927, Case conferred an M.S. degree upon Prof. Vose. He has worked summers for the U. S. Bureau of Mines, the Peerless Motor Car Co., conducted a training school for operating engineers for the U. S. Merchant Marine in 1917-18; was engineer with the U. S. Fuel Administrator in 1918 and has for 15 years been Advisory Engineer with the D. Connelly Boiler Co., of Cleveland. He is a mem­ber of Phi Kappa Phi, Tau Beta Pi and Sigma Xi, honorary societies, various Masonic orders, member of several engineering societies, and president of the Cleveland Engineering Society, 1921-22. He married Nell M. Gardner in Mill- town, N. B. in 1906. They have three children, two boys and one girl. Not the least of Prof. Vose’s activities is his successful work on the first Memorial FundCampaign and the chief mover in the establishment of the Northern Ohio Altunin Association.

58 THE MAINE ALUMNUS December, 1930

ATH LETICSChecking Them Up

The State Series of 1930 was one football upset after another. As the Series opened, Maine seemed to have the edge on Bates; the latter won, 2 to 0. On paper, Bowdoin seemed to have the advantage over Colby, who proceeded to win by a 20-7 score. On the following Saturday, Bates also beat Bowdoin 13 to 0, as was expected. Dopesters began to predict a cellar position for the latter in the next game with Maine, but Bow­doin produced a speedy, co-ordinated team that out-classed Maine, 13 to 7.

By winning over Bowdoin, Colby’s stock rose rapidly and she was “doped ’ to win or at least tie in the Maine game the following Saturday, but Maine pounded her for two touchdowns as com­pared to her solitary goal crossing. Col- by was now almost an unknown quan­tity and there seemed to be a toss-up im­pending in the Bates game, which that plucky, happy-go-lucky, defensive team ran away with to the tune of 13 to 0, Bates by the act crowning herself State Champions for the second consecutive year, leaving Maine, Colby, and Bow­doin in a hopelessly entangled second place, each having won one and lost two.

Break Gives Bates Victory 2-0

With not a first down to her credit, Bates on the afternoon of October 25 wallowed through a mud struggle on the Maine field to win a closely contested game by a safety. The score came in the second period when Bagley, prepar­ing to kick deep in the end zone received a shoulder high pass from Fickett. The mud-covered ball slipped through Bag- ley’s numbed fingers and bounced to the ground behind him He turned, scooped up the ball and made a great attempt to forge ahead to the goal line, but was downed by Bates in the end zone.

The remainder of the game resolved itself into a punting contest between Chamberlain and Bagley, the former hav­ing the edge during the duel.

Throughout the game, Maine seemed to have the more aggressi\e team. Pitted against her was a team which seemed to have less aggressive driving power but which, throughout the game, played a heads-up type of football

Colby Falls 14 to 6

In the second game of the State Series played on Alumni Field November first, Maine drove through the Colby eleven for a 14 to 6 win.

During most of the first half, the two teams battled on almost even terms, the ball staying within Maine territory most of the time.

The second half opened with Moran receiving Colby’s kick-off and advancing it to his own 40 yard line. Then began an uninterrupted march towards the en­emy’s goal line. The first touchdown of the game came when Bagley shot a for­ward over the line to Smith. Wilson’s kick for the extra point went wide but Colby was off side and the point went to Maine. Although Maine later found herself once more in a scoring position, a pass to Wilson ticked his fingers and the ball went into the end zone.

The second score of the game came to Maine in the final quarter. The ball on Maine's 38 yard line, Riley went in for Moran. Together, Wilson and Riley proceeded to advance down the field to the final stripe in a series of long gains. The 6 points, however, were gained only when Riley squirmed through on a fourth down. Wilson place-kicked the addition­al point.

Colby, smarting from the two scores already imprinted upon her, then opened up a terrific display of driving power. Wally Donovan, ably assisted by Davan tore his way through Maine territory to the goal line and a resulting score of six points. Colby failed to gain the ex­tra point but came back strong after the kick-off, beginning a last determined march toward the pale blue goal line. Fate, however, decreed that the score should stand 14 to 6, for the final whistle blew as the ever brilliant Wally was once more tearing through a worn and bat­tered Maine line.

Riley and Wilson, offensively, starred for Maine, while Sims and Moran laid the ground work for their lightning-like thrusts by wearing down the opposition. In the line, Captain Horne played his best game of the season and Davis, Cal- derwood, Fickett and Pike did heavy duty in piling up the Colby charges. Donovan was outstanding for Colby and upheld his reputation as a kicker by outclassing Maine in the punting game.

Maine in Defeat on Bowdoin Field

An inspired Bowdoin eleven at Whit­tier Field provided on November 8, the biggest upset of the State Series. Bow­doin, who was favored to lose, jaunted to a 13-7 victory. The Maine team lacked the pep so evident in the game a week before, while the Bowdoin eleven surpassed all expectations and held the upper hand during most of the game. It was the first time Maine has lost to Bowdoin on Whittier Field in 21 years and the first defeat suffered from her since 1921.

The game began inauspiciously at the kick-off, when Sims fractured his right elbow in attempting a tackle. Coach Brice was forced to send in the light half, Riley, whom he had obviously meant to save until later on in the game.

Soon after this unfortunate injury, however, Maine had the first chance at a touchdown when Romansky recovered a Bowdoin fumble. Two plays through the line and a pass put the Blue in scor­ing position but the next play, a pass, grounded in the end zone and was conse­quently brought out to the 20 yard line in Bowdoin’s possession. Then Bow­doin, after jaunting down the field in a spectacular 80 yard march, made the first touchdown of the day. A pass from Foster to Souther was successful as was also the kick for the extra point.

In the third period, Bowdoin scored her second touchdown after a sweeping 47-j-ard end run by Foster, a few tries at the Maine line and a ten yard plunge through center. Souther failed to kick the extra point.

Blocklinger, who replaced the worn Bagley early in the final quarter, directed Maine’s solitary touchdown. Riley, who put everything he had into the game, af­ter having been knocked out for the third time, was taken out of the game. When the ball had reached the five yard line, Curtis substituted for Romansky and made the required distance in three attempts. Means booted the goal.

Maine fans began to hope for another score, for 6 more points would tie and 7 win the game; but Bowdoin had the ball in her possession during most of the remaining minutes. The game ended with the ball on Maine’s two yard line and a third Bowdoin score seemingly about to be completed.

THE MAINE ALUMNUS 59

Graduation Robs Football Squadof Nine Men

Nine seniors have played their last football season for Maine, three of whom are regulars and six substitutes. Of these, the loss of Captain “Hank” Horne and “Fat” Davis in the line, and “Jack­ie” Moran in the backfield, are of spec­ial importance. Captain Horne, through­out the season, played a stellar game at left tackle, while Davis covered the right side of the line at guard. Moran at right half played a consistently good game of football.

Other men on the squad who graduate are: “Cliff” Curtis at fullback, who scored the only touchdown in both the New Hampshire and Bowdoin games, Blocklinger at quarter, McKenzie and Lamb at end, Tracy at left tackle, and Sezak at center. To fill the three va­cancies, Coach Brice has Kane and

“Bud” BrooksCo-Captain of Cross-Country

Wright, sophomores, and Riley, a junior, all having seen action this year. In the regular line-up the following remain: Smith, Lufkin, and Lewis ends, Pike and Calderwood at tackle, Fickett at center, Bagley at quarter, Riley, Sims and Wil­son at half, and Romansky at full. Ma­terial to fill up the gaps will come from the remaining substitutes and members of the freshman team. Conditions seem favorable for a strong team next year, but from previous experience, predictions seem out of order and we choose rather a position of watchful silence.

Is the address used on this Alumnus correct? If not, please “set us right.”

Richardson and Lindsay Missed inCross-Country

On October 31st, the garnet harriers from Bates invaded the University and won the Dual Cross-Country Meet in a closely contested race by a score of 24 to 32. Whitten of Bates was first to finish the five-mile course, making it in the time of 27 minutes and 32 seconds.

“Ev” Gunning, co-captain of the Maineteam, put up a fighting finish and placedsecond. Bates then took third place,closely followed by Booth of Maine.Bates then placed fifth and sixth, Brooksand Mank seventh and eighth, with Batesfinishing ninth, tenth and twelfth, andFuller, Austin, and Pendleton of Maineplacing respectively eleventh, thirteenth,and fourteenth.

Maine Places Third in New Eng-lands

In the N.E.I.C.A. cross-country run held at Boston November 10, Bates took first place with 32, New Hampshire sec­ond with 49, and Maine third with 85, followed by M.I.T. 118, Conn. Aggies 149, Holy Cross 166, Rhode Island 173, Northeastern 177, B. U. 234.

Gunning, the first Maine man, took fourth place. Brooks finished in eleventh position, Booth 19, Mank 23, and Austin 28. Harry Hazen of New Hampshire won the race, beating Richardson’s and Lindsay’s last year’s record by 7 2-5 sec­onds, due to the absence of three hurdles not on the course this year.

A large cup is offered the school win­ning the greatest number of times out of ten. This was the tenth year for which this last cup has been run. Maine and Bates both have four legs on it, with Williams and New Hampshire dividing the remaining two. As yet, no decision has been given out as to who the winner will be.

Maine Sixth in I.C.A.A.A.A.

In the Intercollegiate Cross-Country Meet held in New York City Nov. 17, Maine placed sixth with a score of 187. The order and time of the Maine men were: Gunning 8th, 31:10; Brooks 32nd, 32:08; Booth 45th, 32:44; Austin 47th, 32 :47; Fuller 63rd, 33 :33; Pendleton 66th, 33:43; Mank 73rd 33:56. The winning time was 13 seconds slower than last year’s record of Richardson and Lindsay, the slow time being due to the muddy course. Team scores: Penn State 29, Syracuse 67, Harvard 98, N.Y.U. 107, Cornell 167, Maine 187.

Frosh End Fair Season to TieCoburn

In the last game of the season, the Frosh showed the best football of the season, when they tied the experienced Coburn Classical Institute eleven. Most of the game consisted in a punting duel in which Favor of Maine held the upper hand

Higgins Classical Institute fell before the Frosh, 26-0 Maine displayed her strength in the second half, in which Sinclair intercepted a long Higgins pass on his own twenty-yard line and ran the length of the field for a touchdown.

Frosh Harriers First in NewEnglands

The freshmen made a great advance over last year's fifth place when they

“Ev” Gunning Co-Captain of Cross-Country

won the 1930 N.E.I C A. Cross-Country Meet in Boston, November 10. Jackson and Earle took fourth and fifth respec- tively, while Osgood came in eighth, followed by Caswell. Crosby, Haney, and Robbins. The scores were: Maine 49, N. H. 56, M.I T. 86, Holy Cross 126, Rhode Island 130, Bates 131.

In the Intercollegiate Cross-Country Run, November 17, the frosh placed fifth with a total of 133. The following men scored: Jackson 18, Earl 21, Osgood 26, Harvey 36, Robbins 37, Adams 47, Cas­well 61.

On October 30, Team "A” defeated Brewer by a perfect score, 15-48; Team “B” won oxer Stetson 20-39, the year­lings taking all positions from second to seventh places.

EditorialsRecognition The selection of an alumnus to re- Well M erited ceive the “Pine Tree M”, in recog­

nition of outstanding service to the Alumni Association and to the University, was no mean job to pass out to any committee.

Maine has many alumni who merit such recogni­tion It was difficult to make a selection, and were it not for the fact that the award is to be made annually probably the committee would have returned a “no verdict” answer.

In the naming of Harry E. Sutton, 1909, for the honor, surely all will agree that the choice was a com­

mendable one. Only those who have been closely as­sociated with alumni and University activities really know how deep Mr. Sutton’s interest is in the welfare of the institution. The service rendered has not been confined to the important positions to which he has been elected or appointed but perhaps even of great­er value has been his enthusiasm, his suggestions, and his willingness to work, laying aside personal affairs at a sacrifice in time and money.

In the first selection, the committee has set a high standard and has given prestige and dignity to what is hoped will be an annual custom.W hat A bout With the passing of another Maine M aine Night? Night has come rumblings of dis­

satisfaction from alumni, students and faculty, so we should frankly ask ourselves why?

The program was similar to that of preceding years. The address of the evening was nothing short of excellent. It was interesting, carefully prepared and well delivered.

The attendance was about the same. The seating arrangement was different. The loud speaker was not working any too satisfactorily. The trouble seems to center on the noise made chiefly by those who were not seated in the stands, but were walking on the track.

When Maine Night was started, the attendance was much less than one thousand. Until the comple­tion of the Field House, it was held in Alumni Hall. The Field House is not suitable for the purpose but is the only place on the campus where 2000 people can meet.

The question has been asked many times the last two or three weeks. “Have conditions changed so much that Maine Night no longer has a place on our program ?” One thing is sure, it must either be changed or be dropped. The Alumni Council has taken the matter under consideration.Disappointing Our football season was a disap­

pointing one. With plenty of good material giving promise in the early games of a strong team, the boys ended the season playing anything but the brand of football of which they were capable. The loss of the Bates game was unfortunate. It was a “fluke” victory. The field was so wet that backfield men could not gain speed and passes were almost im­possible. After defeating Colby, almost everyone ex­pected we would beat Bowdoin but apparently over- confidence or some other factor defeated us. Bowdoin played fine, let’s give them credit.

There were some rather unsatisfactory conditions which made progress difficult. The lateness of the hour when some of the players came out for practice was a severe handicap. After midseason frequently many of the squad did not get out for work until it

New Yorkers Listen to Wire Report of Game

The New York Alumni Association under its president, Dan Chase, held its usual Fall meeting at the Fraternity Club Building on Saturday afternoon, Novem­ber 8th. The occasion of the get-together was the annual Maine-Bowdoin game.

As usual, we had a direct wire from the field, and a play by play description was given us.

The attendance this year was not quite as large as last year due to the counter attractions in the City entailing the very spectacular Army game and the New York University-Georgia game. A mis­take was made in the notices, and some of the Alumnae did not understand that because it was held at the Fraternity Club they were still invited and expected to appear.

Plans are steadily going forward to­ward having a permanent room at the Fraternity Club where Maine men in the City can drop in and be assured of meet­ing other Maine men, and especially where visitors will find acquaintances.

We are having an average attendance of between 25 and 35 for our bi-month- ly luncheons held the first and third Tuesdays of every month at the club. Everybody welcome.

At the present time, we are making plans to have a big delegation of Metro­politan Maine men and women at the cross-country meet to help the boys along that last long mile. We are in hopes of giving them a good dinner, and perhaps a show in the evening.

Ray P. Stevens ’98 SpeaksAt Alumni Round-up

The Western Maine Alumni Associa­tion and the Portland Club of Univer­sity of Maine Women sponsored an Alumni Round-up at the Eastland Hotel, Portland, Saturday evening, November 8th, following the Bowdoin-Maine game at Brunswick.

After the dinner, George Dudley ’28, president of the Western Maine Associ­ation welcomed the gathering and intro­duced Fred D. Knight ’09, of Boston, as toastmaster. G. O. Hamlin spoke briefly. Ray P. Stevens ’98 of New York, prominent business man distin­guished in the public utility field, was the principal speaker and guest of the evening. He emphasized the benefits a college should strive to confer upon a student by teaching him to know him­self and to sell his knowledge and abil­ity in the business world. He touched upon the present business depression as serious and suggested that real effort and co-operation would be necessary to put business back onto its feet.

Raymond H. Fogler '15 spoke briefly. Harry Sutton ’09, to whom the alumni service emblem was awarded Maine Night, was introduced and given a hearty hand of applause in appreciation of his services to the University.

President Boardman spoke of the prog­ress of the University both in material equipment and in the increased co-opera­tion between the various departments and colleges.

There were 125 present. After the speaking, dancing took up the remainder of the evening.

The class of ’09 was holding its annual Get Together in Portland at the time and about 25 of that class attended the Round-Up as a group.

We think the affair was a success and that, because everyone we called on for help went to it and did everything he could to put it over. Especially do we thank the 1909 Class, and the Kennebec, York and Androscoggin Associations for circularizing their membership.

The meeting was a wonderful oppor­tunity for alumni from far and near to meet again. We hope it was worth­while and that it can be repeated in the future.

Portland Alumnae to Give Bridge Party December 5

The Portland Club of the University of Maine Women was very pleasantly entertained at a costume supper party at the home of Mrs. Harry Withee, 183 Dartmouth Street on November 6.

Mrs. Withee was assisted in entertain­ing by Mrs. Hamlyn Robbins, Bragdon Road, South Portland. Costumes were varied and unique and were the cause of much merriment.

After supper a business meeting was held at which time plans for a benefit bridge party were discussed.

The bridge is to be held at the Business and Professional Women’s Club rooms, Cumberland Avenue on Friday afternoon, December 5.

It is hoped that all local “Maine” wom­en and friends of “Maine” will help the Club in making this party a success by being present.

The proceeds of the ticket sale are to be used to buy the Victoria Weeks Hack­er Memorial Watch, which is given each year to a Senior girl at Commencement Exercises.

A collection was taken to pay for space on the program of the College Club play which was presented at the Jefferson Theatre the week of November 17-22.

After the business meeting the evening was much enjoyed by games and stunts.

The December meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. Fred T. Jordan, 40 Berkley Street, Woodfords. All “Maine” women living in or near Portland who are not already members of the Club are invited to attend, and are urged to be­come members.

Following is the list of members pres­ent: Mrs. A. Everett Strout, Miss Feme Ross, Miss Leola Chaplin, Mrs. Fred T. Jordan, Mrs Celeida Morton, Miss Lena Shorey, Miss Louise Kincade, Mrs. Har­ry Belyea, Mrs. John Flynn, Miss Mary Robie, Mrs. Carlton Martin, Mrs. David Shapleigh, Mrs. Hamlyn Robbins, Mrs. Harry Withee, Mrs. William Luce, Mrs. H E Henderson, Mrs. William C.

A brief report has come to the office that Northern Ohio alumni had an in­formal dinner in Cleveland, October 30, the night before Maine Night. The at­tendance was 20. Evidence of their ses­sion came in the form of a telegram re­ceived and read at Maine Night.

President called on each and every in- dividual there to make a few remarks. The stories told were very humorous but in spite of that a great many points were brought out which were quite instructive and showed a marked contrast between the last of the eighties and nineteen thir­ty. Between 10:30 and 11 o’clock the party broke up, each one having enjoyed a very wonderful dinner and the type of a time when good fellows get together and the Maine spirit is present.

Cross-Country Boys Guests of New York Alumni

Upon only a day’s notice New York alumni hurriedly made arrangements to give the varsity and freshman cross country teams a reception and have a representation at the race, November 17.

Carl Ring ’25, got in touch with a few of the alumni by telephone and we had a small but enthusiastic reception com­mittee for the boys who were our guests at dinner at the Fraternity Club.

Rudy Vallee expressed his regrets at not being able to join us at dinner, but invited the entire party to his club. The members of the New York Alumni As­sociation are particularly pleased with having such a loyal Alumnus in our midst, and I know that our guests from Orono thoroughly enjoyed his hospitali­ty. Rudy autographed his latest book and sent a copy to each of the fraternities.

was dark and while the Indoor Field is valuable, it is hardly suited for scrim­mage work. One thing is sure, it takes practice, drill, scrimmage to make foot­ball teams. This leads to the second point, that flood lights are needed to make late practice possible. Another factor which doubtless would be helpful is a training table for the evening meal at least. Cold meals after two hours of practice does not improve morale. Foot­ball teams are built, or better say, in the making a year or two ahead. It would seem that we must overcome a few ob­stacles if we are to take our proper place in the football picture. Some are prone to place most or all of the responsibil­ity for the success of our team upon the coach. Maine has a high type of coach, a gentleman and one who is positively impartial. We may well ask ourselves first, have we done all we can to make possible a successful team?

Our alumni and students have stood behind the team well. Perhaps, however, we should do more. Winning football championships isn’t everything but it will feel good to get another one, not having had a clear title since 1926. Judging from the calibre of the playing of other col­leges in the state this year, a champion­ship is going to come harder and will therefore be all the more worthwhile. Bates won a clear claim to state suprem­acy for 1930, the second consecutive year, by playing hard, consistent football. Con­gratulations.

Pledging Rules Again Revised by Student Senate

The Student Senate has recently is­sued a new definition of fraternity rush­ing as applied to freshmen. As the agree­ment used to imply, a fraternity could not talk to a freshman concerning pledg­ing to the house, previous to the date set for bidding. Humans will be human, however, each fraternity believed that the other fraternities were violating the rule by bringing up matters of pledging be­fore the date set. Consequently the rule in many cases was broken. The new defi­nition seems to be much better because it puts the question on a logical basis. It provides that fraternities may promise bids to freshmen at any time, but that no pledge pins shall be given out before 5 P.M., Feb. 17, 1931. It also adds that if a fraternity extends the promise of a bid, and the freshman accepts, the prom­ise is not binding on either party. The freshman may retract his promise any time before Feb. 17, and he will suffer no penalty.

It has also been ruled that special stu­dents, two-year aggies and transfers may be pledged at any time. Previously they were forced to wait for one semester before receiving bids.

Five Co-eds Nominated for Honorary Position

Following a vote taken during the drill period, five co-eds have been nomi­nated for the position of honorary Lieu­tenant Colonel of the University of Maine R.O.T.C. Unit. The girls nomi­nated a re : Sylvia L. Hickson of Bangor, Helen W. Stearns of Millinocket, Flor­ence Marion Lewis of Springfield, Anna M. Lyon of Bar Harbor, and Marjorie Deane Stevens of Bangor. Election is based on popularity, and to be chosen honorary Lieutenant Colonel means prac­tically the same as being named the most popular girl in the Junior class.

Philip Judd Brockway and Paul Marshall Elliot of the senior class have been appointed to represent the Univer­sity of Maine in the examinations to de­termine the Rhodes scholars from this district. Brockway is a member of Sig­ma Alpha Epsilon and Elliot of Sigma Phi Sigma.

Twenty-Two Football LettersAwarded

The Athletic Board of the University voted recently to award letters to the following men: Captain Cecil Horne,Manager Huot, Monroe Romansky and Clifton Curtis, fullbacks; Warren Block- linger and Fernald Bagley, quarterbacks; Walter Riley, John Moran, John Wilson, Milton Sims, and Melbourne Means, halfbacks; Calvin Fickett and Samuel Sezak, centers ; Ralph Davis, Samuel Cal- derwood, and Edward Buzzell, guards; Julius Pike and Hubert Tracy, tackles; Herbert Lewis, Raymond Smith, Arthur Lufkin, and Norton Lamb, ends.

Masque Presents “She Stoops toConquer”

On November thirteenth, the Maine Masque presented Goldsmith’s play, “She Stoops to Conquer” in Alumni Hall to an enthusiastic audience. Myrilla Guilfoil, a senior, played the leading feminine role of Miss Hardcastle. The mirth-pro­voking Tony Lumpkin, acted by Edward Berry, was the most outstanding role of the play and was very well acted. The costumes, procured from a Massachusetts firm, together with the carefully planned scenery, made the play one of the Masque’s outstanding productions in re­cent years.

1932 Prism Board Appointed in Sophomore Year

The 1932 Prism Board has the distinc­tion of being elected in the spring of its sophomore year. It is believed that this will give the members of the board more time in which to break into their work and, it is hoped, will result in an im­provement in the Prism from year to year. This year’s Editor is John Barry of Bangor. Peter Kuntz of Treichler, Pennsylvania is Business Manager, and Herbert Trask of Mechanic Falls, Assis­tant Business Manager. Other members of the Board are: Marjorie Deane Stev­ens of Bangor, Linwood Elliott of Woodfords, Wheller Merriam of Fram­ingham, Massachusetts, Francis Ricker of Hempstead, New York, Rebecca Spencer of Biddeford, Helen Stearnes of Millinocket, and Louise Washburn of Augusta.

Political Froth Foams in SeniorElections

Political activities on the campus came to a head November twenty-fourth, the day of class elections, when the senior class created the greatest disturbance of the day. As usual, the northern and southern leagues were on the field in force, but it was the former that emerged politically victorious. Previous to the date of elections, the southern league had prepared their own ballot and reported to the secondary and primary nominations to find the northern league conspicuous by its absence. The result was an en­tirely southern league ballot. Admitting that revenge is sweet, however, the mem­bers of the northern league had separate stickers printed with the name of their own candidates, and, with a flirt of the tongue, stuck the offending markers where they would do the most good—or harm. The final count showed that they had accomplished their aim, for a minor­ity of eight houses controlled all of the offices of the senior class.

The use of politics in class elections is deplorable, as there are good men in both leagues. It is to be hoped that the Student Senate will take active steps to remedy a situation which has for too long a time made class elections an un­true representation of class opinion.

Debaters to Petition Pi KappaDelta

Definite plans are being made by the intercollegiate debaters to petition the National Debating Society, Pi Kappa Delta, for membership. It is felt that there is on the campus a debating society qualified in every respect and having enough enthusiasm to maintain a chap­ter in this Honorary Society, which is the most active of the Honorary Foren­sic Societies. In addition to competing in local debating activities, its members are required to send delegates to the Pro­vincial and National Conventions which are held biannually.

The girls’ varsity hockey team com­pleted a successful season by defeating the Connecticut Aggies 6-3 on the Con­necticut field at Storrs, November fif­teenth. Although the Maine team was lighter than their opponents, they were faster and used better team work.

64 THE MAINE ALUMNUS December, 1930

Experiment Station Has Fine New Poultry Plant

THE old poultry plant where so much research was done which brought national and even international fame to the Maine Agricultural Experiment Station, is a back

number. A new, bigger, modern plant with much improved facilities for research is being used this fall for the first time

It is located only a few hundred feet south of the old plant on the back Farm Road. Everything possible has been done to make the plant an efficient one, not alone from the standpoint of labor and economics, but also from the angle of sanitation and research for in this type of plant it is not the profit inmoney which counts but the success of research So unusual precautions have been taken to prevent losses by pests and diseases which losses may and in recent year have almost ruined a whole year’s work, resulting not only in loss of time but also a waste of money

The plant was designed by Dr. W. Franklin Dove, associ­ate biologist in charge of animal breeding and nutrition at the Station He has been working on the plans for over two years, having studied many plants during that time.

Perhaps the best way to describe this fine addition to the station equipment is to take a trip through it. But first to give some idea of size. The plant is on a ten acre lot. A fox wire fence is being placed around it. This fence goes six inches below the ground and five and one-half feet above. It is be­lieved that most of the animal—yes and human—pests will be kept out The main building is 50 feet by 40 feet. Each wing is 162 feet long and 20 feet deep. This new plant has ten per­cent more floor space than the old one, due chiefly to the greater depth of the wings

First, the main building. It is two and one-half stories in height On the mam floor are three grain storage rooms with a capacity for two car-loads, thus making it possible to buy grain to advantage. There is an electric grain mixer which will mix 1000 pounds thoroughly in three minutes, a marked improvement over the old method of hand mixing. On the north side is a series of rooms for research. They consist of a physiology laboratory, an operating room, a rat room with a capacity of 100 families of rats and a fireproof record room, thus making it unnecessary to transport valuable records back and forth from the station daily. Practically all nutrition work which is being done with hens is also done with rats both as a check and because more rapid progress can often be made and at less expense On this floor there is also a post mortem room to study sick birds not with the intention of curing them but rather to determine if possible what the trouble is. From this room there is a chute through which dead birds can be passed to the boiler room. Careful records are kept of each sickness and post mortem.

On the second floor are rooms for rearing the chicks. First there is the chick room where the heat is thermostatically controlled and in which extra precautions have been taken to furnish perfect ventilation. There are to be six so-called New Hampshire batteries in which the chicks will live for three weeks. Then they move into another room having larger bat­teries and at the age of six weeks go into still a third room for cooling or hardening, prior to being placed in the poultry house proper This last room is also to be used for nutrition and metabolism experiments There is a room specially equipped for thoroughly washing and sterilizing the New Hampshire batteries. These batteries as well as the Jamesway feed equip­ment, are manufactured by the Davis Watson Company of Nashua, N. H. There is also a laboratory in which ultra violet ray research work will be done.

The attic is at present used only for storage. There is an elevator lift from the basement to the attic The King system of ventilation used in the plant heads up in this half story room. It was furnished by the Wood Dairy Supply Company of Ban­gor

In the basement is the heating plant which is a closed high pressure hot water system The pipes run not only through the central building but out through both wings. It is a product of the Shenandoah Manufacturing Company, of Harrisonburg, Virginia, specially designed for poultry plants. There is also a small boiler for the purpose of having live steam available for sterilizing purposes This steam pipe also extends through both wings. Then there are the incubator, and egg storage rooms and a root cellar. At present there is one 6000 egg electric incubator with ample space for more. This equipment was secured from the Buckeye Incubator Company of Spring- field, Ohio.

There are eight pens, 20 by 20 in the east wing, the capac­ity of each pen being 100 or more hens. The building is lined with homosote insulation board. The floors are concrete with a dram in the center of each pen. There is modern Jamesway watering and feeding equipment and Shenandoah roosting plan. Two of the pens are equipped with hot water brooders having a capacity of 4000 chicks each. These brooders are also therm­ostatically controlled.

The pens in the west wing are smaller being designed for mating and breeding purposes. There are 16 pens 10 feet wide. The temperature in the wings is controllable by thermostat and by the ventilating system. During warm weather both the lower and upper halves of the front windows can be dropped full distance thus getting an open front effect The plant will easily house 1600 birds though it is unusual to have more than

Maine too, President Hopkins

In his speech at the opening of the college year, President Ernest Hopkins of Dartmouth said as given in the No­vember Dartmouth Alumni Magazine—

“I would insist that the man who spends four years in our north country here and does not learn to hear the. melo­dy of rustling leaves or does not learn to love the wash of the racing brooks over their rocky beds in spring, who never experiences the repose to be found on lakes and river, who has not stood en­thralled upon the top of Moosilauke on a moonlight night or has not become a worshiper of color as he has seen the sun set from one of Hanover’s hills, who has not thrilled at the whiteness of the snow- clad countryside in winter or at the flam­ing forest colors of the fall—I would insist that this man has not reached out for some of the most worthwhile educa­tional values accessible to him at Dart­mouth.”

This excellent point has application here at Maine too, if we are but awake to it.

1000 or 1200 during the winter season.Among the research projects on which

work is being done are physiology of re­production, the determination of sex, causes of death, hereditary and nutri­tional factors controlling vigor and lon­gevity and also studies on rickets, its causes and effects and method of preven­tion. Indeed a hen does well to survive the ordeal through which she must pass. Every egg is marked, a pedigree is kept on every bird so they have to be marked for identification, the rate of growth is recorded, every egg she lays is credited to her and for some experiments, how much and what she eats. She can turn around without having that charged against her.

The Experiment Station officials are justly proud of this new plant which is considered one of the best of the smaller ones in the country. In the absence of Dr. W. J. Morse, director of the station, who is ill, Dr. Fred Griffee, assistant di­rector and head of the Biology depart­ment is in charge of the Station while Dr. Dove is directly responsible for the experiments involving poultry. He is also directing animal research work at Highmoor Farm, the station experimental farm in Monmouth.

Containing every novel and short story in which Sherlock Holmes appeared; two volumes, on fine

thin paper, 1,000 pages each.

—if you subscribe to the Book-of-the-Month Club now, agreeing to take a minimum of four books during the year.

TT HIS offer is so unusual that the reason for it needs ex­planation for the opportunity to be properly appreciated. Recently, the Book- of-the-Month Club—in addition to other conveniences it gives book readers without expense to them—put into effect a 20% Rebate System. Under this, it is estimated, the Club will return to its subscribers between $240,000 and $360,000 a year which they can use to purchase other books. To carry out this plan, one of the things necessary was to increase the number of the Club’s subscribers by about 20,000. A campaign is under way to obtain this quota, in which present subscribers are actively assisting; and this offer is part of that campaign. This is the first time in the United States that all of Sherlock Holmes—four novels and fifty-six short stories—have been printed in one col­lection. To obtain them all otherwise for your library, you would have to buy nine separate books.

Over 100,000 book readers now make use of the conveniences of the Book- of-the-Month Club. IT COSTS THEM NOTHING. Your only obligation, when you join the Book-of-the-Month Club, is to agree to support the Club by buying from it at least four books a year, out of from 200 to 250 reported upon by the judges. And if any of these is a book-of-the-month, you receive a 20% rebate on it. Surely, within the next year, the judges shown here will choose as the book-of-the-month at least a few books you will be anxious not to miss. Why not—by joining the Club—make sure of getting them, save 20% on them, get the many other undoubted conveniences the Club gives book read­ers; and also get this two-volume complete Sherlock Holmes free?

If you are interested, it is advisable to send the coupon below at once.A copy of THE COMPLETE SHERLOCK HOLMES will be held in re­serve for each inquirer for a reasonable period, until he can receive and read the booklet referred to.

Y o u don’t have to be an egotist to wonder what would happen to your business without your guid­ing hand at its helm, or your constructive energy pushing it forward. Man power is ad­mittedly the mainspring of business, and loss of man power usually means loss of capital or earning power.

You can replace that loss in the event of your death, or the death of a partner, through Business Life Insurance.

Their words have wingsas swift as light

An Advertisement of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company

W e l i v e and work as no other people have ever done. Our activities are pitched to the swiftness of the instan­taneous age.

Whatever happens, wherever it happens and however it may affect you, you may know it immediately over the wires or the channels of the air that carry men’s words with the speed of light. Business and social life are free from the restrictions of time and distance— for practically any one, anywhere, may at any time speak with any one, anywhere else.

The widespread and co-ordinated interests of the nation depend upon an intercourse that less than sixty years ago was not possible in a single community. This is the task of the telephone wires and cables of the Bell Telephone System—to make a single community of our vast, busy continent wherein a

man in Los Angeles may talk with another in Baltimore or a friend in Europe as readily as with his neighbor.

It is the work of the Bell Telephone System to enable friends, families and business associates to speak clearly and immediately with one another, wherever they may be. Its service is as helpful and accessible on a village street as in the largest cities.

To match the growing sweep and complexity of life in this country, to prepare the way for new accomplish­ments, the Bell System is constantly adding to its equipment and bettering its service.

To this end, its construction program for 1930 has been the largest in its history. This System

at all times accepts its responsibility to forward the development and well-being of the nation.

BONES OF STEEL NERVES OF ELECTRICITY

THE MODERN skyscraper eats elec­tricity and breathes power. Its

bones are of steel . . . its arteries and nerves are electric wires. Its heart is the substation below the street level, through which flows electric power to light and ventilate its acres of floor space, to lift its swift, silent elevators, and to paint its soaring contours with floodlights.

Although the electric equipment is but a small part of the cost of a building, it is one of the architect's

major tools. For he thinks in terms of service to tenants, earning power for the owner, and beauty to the com­munity. He uses electricity to make the building live.

General Electric serves the archi­tect by supplying every element of electric equipment and accepting re­sponsibility for its successful perform­ance. On anything electrical, whether designed for skyscrapers, homes, or factories, the G-E monogram is a safe guide to dependability.

FOR THE HOME: Millions of American homes are made hap- pier and more comfortable by electric appliances bearing the G-E monogram. These include refrigerators, radio sets, fans, vac­uum cleaners; motors for many other electrically driven house­hold devices; MAZDA lamps, wir­ing systems, and Sunlamps; Hot- point electric ranges and appli­ances.FOR INDUSTRY: G-E research and engineering have made im­portant contributions to every basic industry, including appara­tus for generating, transmitting, and applying electricity; electric furnaces and heating devices; street, traffic, airport, and Cooper Hewitt lights; Victor X-ray apparatus; equipment for rail­road and marine electrification, and for street railways.
