UNIVERSITY CLUB BANQUET.

Trinity Men Take Prominent Part.

The tenth anniversary of the Univer­sity Club of Hartford was celebrated with a b_irthday party at the Hartford ' Club Friday night. A large number ' of the sons of Trinity were among those who participated in the merry-making.

Acting-President Henry A. Perkins was among the distinguished gathering along the crescent of the speakers' table which included Governor Marcus H. Holcomb, Philip M. ~eakin, presi­dent of the club and toastmaster: the Rev. Dr. Rockwell Harmon Potter, former president; the Rev. Melancthon W. Jacobus, former president; James P. Andrews, former . president; Tax Com­missioner William H. Corbin, former president; the Rev. Irving H. Berg, vice-president; John F. Forward, secre­tary; Robert B. Newell, treasurer; Edward B. Morris, and the speakers from nearby seats of learning, Professor Frank W. Nicholson of Wesleyan, Professor William Lyon Phelps of Yale, and P1 ofessor William A. Neilson of Harvard.

There was introduced at the dinner's start a group of foreign delegates in costume. Special Prosecuting Attorney Alexander W. Creedon, Trinity, 1909, represented Vassar.

A rising toast was drunk to Governor Holcomb. Before introducing the speakers, toastmaster Leakin read a list of the first officers of the club all of whom are living except one. Among the number was Edgar F. Waterman, Trinity, 1898, secretary. The first speaker was Professor Frank W. Nichol­son, B. A., Harvard, 1887, M. A., professor of Latin, Wesleyan Univer­sity, and secretary-treasurer of the National Collegiate Athletic Association. He spoke upon intercollegiate athletics, and by talking very rapidly, told a number of stories and conveyed some interesting information in the short space of time given him. Professor William Lyon Phelps of Yale told several of his inimitable stories, his quotations from examination papers he had read being especially well received. Before him, he said, he saw many of his pupils that he could recognize, including the Acting-President of Trinity College. Professor William A. Neilson, A. M., Edinburgh, 1891, Ph. D., professor of ~nglish at Harvard spoke next. The last speaker was the Rev. Dr. Rockwell Harmon Potter. He said the first club he had known was located in the back room of a country grocery store, and gave his definition of a club as a group of men gather.ed together by the bond of like experiences. After dwelling on the benefits of college experience the speaker concluded' "The American College does this: It emancipates from petty prejudice, it teaches loyalty to the truth, it inspires for service; and the greatest word which the American college has given to the American nation in our time, and which, please God, the American nation may give to the world, let it be the word I give you now, that America asks nothing for herself that she does not ask, also, for humani~ ty."

SENIOR NOMINATIONS.

Tentative List Proposed.

The nominations for class day have been tentatively made up. Publica­tion in the Tripod will not be made until after this list is ratified at the meeting of the nominating committee today at which a few minor changes

The call for baseball candidates last week brought out a fair-sized squad, but, aside from the seven "T" men in it, the material is largely inexperienced, and is far from being as good as it has been for the past two seasons. It is perhaps better, however, than was the case in 1913.

There have been placed in the library the addresses of three eminent German-Americans delivered before the German University League in New York City. The addresses throw much 1

light on the opinion of broad-minded German-Americans on present condi­tions.

' will be made.

The letter men who are out are Captain McKay, '17; Lambert, '16; Vizner, '16; Schmitt, '16; Ives '16; F!lrris, '16; and Murray, '18. The rest of the squad is at present composed of Raftery, '16; Kennedy, '16; Moran, '16; Wooley, '17; Berkeley, '17; Dennis, '17; Noll, '18; Astlett, '18; Pinney, '18; Boardman, '18; Mullen, '18; Breslin, '19; H. J. Brickley, '19; Leeke, '19; Rucker, '19; and Kenney, '19. , Ferris, Raftery, H. J. Brickley, Noll,

Astlett, Pinney and Moran are out for pitching honors. Of ' these, aside from Ferris, Brickley has had the most experience, and he and Ferris look to be the mainstays of the season in the box. The rest of the candidates have yet to prove what they can do.

Kenney, Wooley and Schmitt are the catchers, Wooley being also an infielder and Schmitt an outfielder. Both the latter two have previously done substi­tute duty behind the bat on the 'varsity, and will fight it out with Kenney, for the regular job this year.

In the infield, Captain McKay will probably shift from his old position at second to third base, and Murray will again cover short. To fill the gap at second Ives may be used, for, al­though primarily an outfielder, he played at second at times during practice last year, and will doubtless prove better for the position than the untried candidates, Mullen, Board­man and Leeke. First base appears to lie between Wooley and Berkeley, both of whom have had experience there, although not on the 'varsity. The other infield candidates are Dennis and Rucker, both being out for third and both without much experience.

So far there is a scarcity of new candidates for outfield positions, but there is enough veteran material to make the competition there keen. Lambert, Vizner, Schmitt, Kennedy, and Ives will lead in the field for the outer garden berths.

The squad does not appear to contain any too much batting strength. Cap­tain McKay and Kennedy are heavy stickers, and Vizner, Murray and Schmitt are known to be fair, but aside from these men, the outlook is not bright for consistent work with the hickory, although this may develop later.

While the squad is confined to the gymnasium by the weather, practice will be held every afternoon for the pitchers, and on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday afternoons for the other candidates. The first game, with Bow­doin, is only five weeks off;

The address of Charles Nagel is the one in which he declares "If the term 'German-American' is used by way of description it is perfectly correct. If, however, the term 'German-Ameri­can' is to represent a dual allegiance, I resent it." Further on he says: "The representatives pf various peoples must amalgamate to create a distinct Ameri­can type, strengthened by the traditions, the customs, the achievements, and, if you please, by the dreams of each and all of them."

The other addresses are by Dr. Ernest Flagg Henderson on "Germany", and by Professor M. J. Bonn on "International Understanding and In­ternational Cooperation."

A copy of the address of Albert Bern-Erardt Faust, professor of German at Cornell University, on "The Germans in the United States", has also been presented to the library by the German University League.

P. S. HARMON, M. S. CREHORE,

DR. PERKiNS SPEAKS.

Tells of Work in China.

Dr. Edward C. Perkins, brother of Acting-President Perkins, addressed the student body last Friday evening in the Public Speaking Room. Dr. Perkins is a Yale graduate, and is at present engaged as a medical missionary in China. It was his experiences in that country which formed the substance of his lecture.

Dr. Perkins gave several very beauti­ful and vivid descriptions of the typical Chinese rural scenes. Although his work is chiefly in the medical profession, he devotes no little time to preaching Christianity among the heathens.

To illustrate how badly a good Christian influence is needed in China, Dr. Perkins made use of a very interest­ing but pitiful story. He said that it was a prevalent custom in china for the laborer to leave his family and seek his fortune in another part of the country. In a J.larticuiar case which he had in mind, Dr. Perkins said that the man had been absent from his family for a period of ten years, and in that time he had amassed a sum equivalent to seventeen American dol­lars. This he had sewed in the lining of his cap, and on his way home to his family he thrust his head out through the open window of a railway coach and the wind blew his cap off. The laborer was at loss to know what to do, climbed onto the sill of the window and as the train approached what seemed to be a pile of sand, he jumped. The spot on which he landed being, instead of sand, a pile of rock, he received compound fractures in both legs. His groans of anguish brought a native farmer who was at work in a neighboring field, to his aid. The laborer told the farmer of his cap with the money sewed in it. The latter walked back to where the cap lay, picked it up, but instead of returning it with the money to the wounded man, be removed the money, returned the empty cap, and would have left him to die on the pile of rocks if some American mis­sionaries had not come across the wounded man and removed him to a hospital. Here they gave him medical aid so that he was again in good shape when he left the hospital, with seventeen dollars and a railroad ticket given him by the missionaries.

Dr. Perkins used this story to forcibly illustrate the greater need of a Christian influence and to give an idea of the noble work that is being done there today.

"NOW THEN TRINITY"

The official call for all track candi­dates has been issued. It is incumbent on the Tripod to comment upon the situation in which this form of sport stands at Trinity.

As Coach Harmon aptly expressed it at a meeting of the college body a while ago, "Trinity's track athletics are in a rut." Of that there is no doubt. The worst of it is that they seem to be sinking deeper each year. A meet has not been won since 1911, and every season the margin of loss grows larger. Each team has s-hown a decrease in the number of candidates. Last year the depth of decline seemed to have been reached when it was found difficult to enter more than one man in an event.

At the present time matters have reached a crisis. The coming season will decide wheth'lr Trinity is capable of supporting a track team. The position of the sport is so low that continued lack of interest will almost warrant its abolishment. It is up to the undergraduates to prevent such a disgrace-for disgrace it is. Colleges smaller than Trinity turn out good track teams.

With Mr. Harmon, the Tripod believes that only want of spirit keeps track in its lowly situation. There are more than enough men of ability in college to turn out a winning team. A bald statement, perhaps, but a true one. The trouble is that the fellows will not

!

believe in themselves. "Pshaw," they say, "I have never done anything in track. What earthly use is there of my going out?"

This attitude is bound to prove the undoing of any undertaking. A be­ginning is necessary to any form of success, and no man knows his powers until he has tested them. Some of the best athletes in the country have developed in college from no previous experiepce. It certainly does no harm to try .and the exercise is sure to be beneficial.

This year a splendid opportunity is presented for everyone to discover his hidden talents. An inter-fraternity re­lay tournament is to be held in the armory during the present month. In April there will be a series of three pre-season inter-class handicap meets for which medals, donated by interested alumni, will be awarded for the first three places in each meet. The handi­caps will be such as to give everyone a chance to win a prize. Lack of experi­ence should hold no one back from competition.

In closing the Tripod urges the college body to stand behind Mr. Harmon and Captain Crehore in their effort to put track on the plane on which it belongs. They have been working with unflagging zeal, and deserve support in their efforts. They think that Trinity can turn out a track team able to defeat a majority of the teams on her schedule-which, by the way, is a good one. The fulfillment of their confidence rests in the hands of the students.

COMMUNICATION.

March 2, 1916.

To the Editor of the Tripod:

The editorial of February 25, with caption "Cleverness and Labor" inter­ested me very much, and it was one of the best things I have seen in the Tripod.

It is unquestionably true that men who have learned to concentrate on work in college are the big men in the

future. For such, honors and success will come with application.

The knowledge of even a general feeling among undergraduates that a mark may be attained with slight labor is most detrimental and most unfortu­nate for the individual concerned. To say nothing of the effect of such a theory upon the habits, it develops a false conception of the world and militates against success in the future.

Much stress is being laid nowadays on the Gospel of Hard Work.

We may be dazzled by a meteoric flash of cleverness, but too often have we witnessed those who have gone up like a rocket and come down like a stick. Occasionally in the race we may be passed by those of inferior ability, but the man who crosses the line first and is declared the winner is generally the best man.

The point should be emphasized as strongly as possible that work plus character ultimately meet due recogni­tion, and let us not swerve from our ideals or lose heart when less sterling qualities seem to succeed, for such success is not permanent.

INFORMATION CONCERNING PLATTSBURG.

War Department Sends out Pamphlets.

The nation-wide preparedness cam paign begun by the present administra tion has reached the colleges. Military training classes and courses were begun a short time ago in various institutions These -are not compulsory, and only reach a limited number of college students. However, in order to reach all, the government has acquainted them with the Military Training Camps at Plattsburg through the material recently sent out by the War Depart ment.

The data sent to students of Trinity during the past week concerning the Plattsburg camps consisted of a 1916 Military Training Camps' Bulletin, a pamphlet concerning the camp, "and an enrollment blank for the senior division and one for the junior division . The bulletin gives the details as to qualifications, periods of camps, loca­tion, camp equipment, uniform and personal equipment, transportation, ex­penses, innoculation, instruction, organ­ization, examinations, and books on military matters.

The pamphlet gives the qualifications, objects, obligation, history of value, and several letters concerning preparedness and training. The qualifications form two divisions. The junior division com­prises: 1 (a) undergraduates of colleges and universities; (b) graduates in 1916 of colleges and universities; (c) students of senior grade in private or public high school; (d) graduates under 21 of such schools with above grade. The senior division comprises: graduates of colleges and universities under 45; (b) other citizens, between 21 and 45 not included in above, who have qualifica­tions or experience equivalent to such an education. The objects of these camps are several-fold; but the primary and greatest end in view is to help equip properly qualified men to fill the great deficiency in commissioned officers that would immediately ar1se in case of national emergeqcy, by training them under officers and with troops of the regular Army.

In 1915 there were 1,800 men at Plattsburg. The "Plattsburg idea" has had great influence in developing a sense of military obligation among the young men of the country, and present indications are that at least 30,000 will attend the camps this summer. The obligation to defend the country in case of need rests on every citizen of military age . Training at a camp neither increases nor decreases this obligation. The present situation in the United States has brought to light that obligation, and a camp, such as at Plattsburg, fits one for fulfilling it.

COMMUNICATION.

Pittsburgh, Pa., Mar. 2, 1916. To the Editor of the Tripod:

Dear Sir: In your issue of February 11, you

print a most interesting communication from Prof. Geo. 0. Holbrook, in which he makes his appeal to the Trinity Missionary Society· to raise at least $40, and thereby furnish support for a missionary in India. Those of us who sat as students under Prof. Holbrook are deeply impressed by his work and by the wonderful spirit of self-sacrifice and devotion to ideals which his des­criptive letter betrays. If the college Missionary Society will undertake to get at least two of these $40 sums and send them to Prof. Holbrook, I know of two subscriptions of $10 each which will be forwarded from here on request. I feel that many of the class of '80 and '82 would respond quickly to an appeal from the Missionary Society. The names of Sheldon, Young, Perkins, Wilcox, and others come to mind at

·mention of the subject. If you will turn this over to the proper perspn and set it going, you will contribute your share to helping out in the work which seems so worthy and so imperative.

Very truly, GEORGE D. HOWELL.

Prof. M. V. O'Shea of the department of education and Chief of Police O'Shaughnessy bemoan the half.way skirts and open-work waists of the co-eds as dero~atory to the morality of the youth of the college. "When I see the co-eds and young girls with dresses half way up to their knees and waists half way down to the waist, I wonder that conditions are as good as they are," said Chief O'Shaughnessy in regard to this matter. "Obedience to such precepts as style is setting in the present day is placing our youth in un­wholesome, emotional and stimulating surroundings," was the opinion of Professor O'Shea.

One of the greatest reforms in China in recent years is the abandonment of the old educational system and the adoption of the modern liberal educa­tion according to Western methods.
