ENGINEER ADDRESSES I BIOLOGICALS HEARMECHANICAL SOCIETY FIVE GOOD SPEECHES

Cotton Mill Expert DescribesModern Methods and

Machinery.

"The Development of a Fine GoodsCotton Mill" vwas the subject of a lec-ture before the Mechanical Engineer-ing Society yesterday afternoon in 11Engineering B. The speaker was Mr.Charles M. Mumford, who is associ-ated with the Lockwood-Green Com-pany, manufacturers of fine cottongoods. He made his lecture doublyinteresting with numerous slides,showing the floor plans of the mill,.arrangement of the machinery andviews of the buildings.

Mr. Mumford spoke of the advance-ment made in the construction ofmills. The old ones had low. poorlylighted stories, with the aisles be-tween machines running lengthwiseof the building, tending to cut off thelight from the side windows. Thewater wheels were all in one end ofthe mnill, and vertical belt drivestransmitted the power to the differentfloors. In the particular mill that hediscussed the weaving was done onthe first and second floors, the pick-ing, carding and roving on the third,spinning on the fourth and fifth, andspooling and drawing in the attic.This arrangement made a great dealof trucking and transportation byelevator necessary, and the powertransmission was most inefficient aswell.

He then considered the plant of theLockwood-Green Company as an ex-ample of modern mills. Since steampower has come more into use, bothas an auxiliary to the, water powerand to run the entire mill, proximityto a large stream is unnecessary. TheLockwood mill is built near a creek,which supplies them with water for thepower plant, which is centrally lo-cated, and for fire protection. Thepower is transmitted by a very effici-ent rope drive, but electric motorsare used on the machines remotefrom the main engine. The differentdepartments are situated so as to re-duce handling the goods to a mini-mum, and so that the output of themill may be changed on short notice.The carding and picking machines areseparated from the rest with glasspartitions to keep the lint from pene-trating the other rooms. Most of themotors drive four machines, and thoseof about 75 horse-power are suspendedfrom the ceiling. The comparativeabsence of overhead shafting, arrange-ment of aisles, and sixteen-footstories make the mill unusually welllighted.

Mir. Mumford also spoke of thepractice in English mills of having anumber of small units, each com-plete in themselves, but said that this

MECHANICALS' TRIP.

The Mechanical Engineering So-ciety has made arrangements for atrip to the Robb Engineering Com-pany in Soutil Framingham, to takeplace on Tuesday, MAay 7. As a largenumber of men are expected to go aspecial car has been chartered to takethem to South Framingham. The carwill leave Park square on Tuesday,May 7, at 1.45 P. M. sharp, and no manwill be waited for. Tickets are fiftycents for the round trip, and memberswho desire to go are requested to buytheir tickets from the officers of the;ociety as soon as possible.

IHold Their Annual BanquetThe Technology Club-To

Change Name.

at.

Sixteen men enjoyed the annuaibanquet of the Biological Societywvhich was held last night at theTechnology Club. After an excellentcourse dinner the members considelreda-motion to change thle name of thesociety to the "Biol-Sanitary" Society.1his matter was left until the last.meeting of the year, when the electionof officers takes place. The questionof thie extension of. the tenure of officeto covel two terms instead of one,was also left until the next meeting,which will probably he held Thurs-day afternoon of this week.

The president then introduced Pro-fessor George C. '\Whipple of Harvard.who spoke on the work that he hasdone in purifying the water of Mii-wvaukee and Pittsburgh. Professor\lVhipple giraduated from the Instituteii 188S9 as a civil engineer.

I-Ie explained the situation in Mil-waulkee as it was sevreral years ago.All sewage was discharged into threesluggish streams Chat ran through theclty on theiir way to Lake Mkichigan.T'lere werle normally three million

gallons of river water daily to diluteEhirty million gallons of sewage, an-lconsequently the watelr became foul.The solution of the difficulty wasitoand when the engineers tried pump-ing 323 million gallons of lalke waterdaily into the tulper part of thestream. The effect was immediate,the water became clear, and fish wereable to live in it. The per cent. of dis:solved oxygen did not fall completelyto zero until the otheir two untreatedstreams met the first one. With theincrease of population it was foundnecessary to treat a second stream inthe same way, and soon they willhave to pump lake water into all.\Vithin a few years even these meas-ores will not be sufficient, and it willbe necessary to collect the sewageandl render it harmless.

Professor Whipple also spoke o;the very interesting wor k that he didin determining how the sewage of thecity ireached the intake for the waterplant. By a series of charts plottingthie turbidity, smell, chlorine-content,:acterial-count, and number of B. coilper c. c., he was able to prove thatthe sewage was not rendered whollyaseptic until it had gone out six or

SENIORS TO DINEFRIDAY EVENING

Last Word to Be Given Relativeto Senior Week- Portfolio

Also Appears.

Friday evening, May 10th, will her-ald the first event in the list of Senioractivities, in the form of the prelim-inary Senior dinner, which will beheld at the Union at 6.30 P. M.

This function will not receive itsinportance as a dinner, but rather as

a means of bringing together everymember of the Senior class, in orderthat the "last word" in regard toSenior WNeek, as decided upon by theClass Day Committee, may be brought'o the attention of the class as a unit,cnd also that any questions which theSeniors would like answered may bed'iscussed and other obscure )Oints,Ma.ny- be made clear.

That such a gatihering is imperativeto the smoothness and surety in tihedevelopment of an excellent SeniorWeek is obvious, when it is under-slood that by the time that examina-tions are concluded there will be nopossibility of discussing matters ofdetail with the class by the aid ofmeetings, or through the avenue ofthis publication, and unless everymember of Nineteen-Twelve is welinformed concerning the methods ofprocedure at the various functions ofthe week, it is self-evident that dis-,nstIrous effects will be bounld to fol-low.

For this reason the price of thedinner has been made as low as waspermitted, and the entire cost of thetickets will be used to defray the ex-lenses of the dinner, as the commit-

tee have no intention of deriving anyprofit from the meeting, but rather,reel that in this way a more pleasingconvocation of the class may be heldthan by any other means.

As the meeting will be strictly astudent affair, and of a business na-ture, the speakers in all cases will bemembers of the Senior class, and inthis way the dinner stands uniqueamong Institute affairs of this sort,in that it is the first gathering of itskind composed wholly of students, andengaged in the consideration of stu-(lent matters of interest.

Among other details which willmake this 'gathering a noteworthy

ione will be the appearance of thet (Continued to Page 2.)

M. E. SOCIETY TRIP.

Boiler Works Will BeThis Afternoon.

Visited

The 'Mechanical Engineering So-ciety whill make a visit to the Robe)Engineering Company of Sonuth Fram-ingham this afternoon. They haveengaged a private car and will startfrom Park Square prompltly at 1.45.This company manufactlures boilers,and as the third-year men have boileidrawinig Tuesday afternoons the tripwill be unusually interesting for thenimIt was through the efforts of Profes-sor Haven of Course II that the tripwas made possible. All men whowvish to go will have to buy ticketsof one of the officers of the societysome time this morning. About 45have been sold ahleady.

The society has planned its nextmeeting for Mlonday, May 13th, in 1113, at 4 o'clock. iMr. Charles T. Main,'ornmier president of the Boston So-

ciety of Civil Engineers, will addressthem on "Thle Commercial Efficiencyand Special Uses of the Power Plant."

FRESH-SOPH SERIESOPENS NEXT SATURDAY

Both Teams Indulge in FinalPractice This Week For

Coming Contest.

The final and most interesting base-ball games of the season begin nextSaturday afternoon, whllen the Sopho-mores and Freshmen cross bats at theField.

Both teams have completed theiroutside schedules; the Freshmenfinishilng in a blaze of glory when theydefeated Tufts Seconds by a score of16 to S. It is hard to pick the winnerat this time though the Freshmenseem to have a slight advantage fronmpresent indications.

Both teams are planning strenuouspractice for this week. The Fresh-men will practice this afternoon atthe Field, and this workout, togetherwith clue other aternoons's practice,will complete theii preparation.

TTHE TECH was in error in thescoring of the Freshman-Tufts Sec-onds' game, which needs correction.The yearlings deserved twelve hits in-stead of tell, and three errors insteadof six, which were wrongly charged toCaffery, McDevitt and Bauer.

TECH RIFTES TEAM.

Entered in Intercollegiate RifleShoot at Waltham.

- Saturday the Intercollegiate rifleshoot will be held at Waltham, andfor the first time in many years aTech team will be entered. The menhave held general discussions onEwindage problems during the past fe'sveales, and evelrything has been done

for getting all possible points to aidthem in their scores. The greasewvhich has been used on the bullets inpursuance of the plan adopted by theState team has worked satisfactorilyso far, and the men expect that it willhelp them considerably on Saturday.

Saturday the men went to Waltham,and after the practice Captain Ru-dolpli said that lie was entirely satis-fied with the chances of the team.The following scores were made:

THOSE TECH BUTTONS.

Vague memories of tile mention ofTech buttons linger in our conscious-ness, and a further delving into therealms of thought brings into prom-inence the fact that the new insigniaare about due to appear on parade.Put then, all of us dream now anuthen.

The first suggestion of those but-tons made quite a stir; indeed tihestir was of cyclonic proportions. It.lhred the attention of many a con-scientious Tech grind from his firstand only love, from the passionatepastime of demolishing an array ofelongated equations xwith as much Iskill and thoroughness as if they werea row of tin soldiers. In view of thatevidence of some stullpendous force,also after the Institute Committee hadadopted the plan with as much selfgratification as a man buying a 'lewsuit, the Institute could think of do-Ing nothling but l)lace its only hopein those buttons. Congratulations.Major Cole, for awakening the Massa-chusetts Institute of Technology to adegree that many of her worthy sonshave solemnly declared inml)ossible!

It is agreed that the buttons areone of the prime essentials of Techlife. If so, the members of the Classof 1912 stand in danger of dlire mtis.fortune. Can they march out of thedoors of Technology, crowned withthe sacred sheepskin, but undecoratedwith the button of Cardinal andGray? And yet, unless the rumorthat the buttons are on the way fromParis is not vain, fate will thus blightour newest missionaries into theworld. Faith must come to our aid,else we are inconsolable.

The president then called on Pro-fessor Billings, who told of thepreparatory work that he has donehere that he -might help direct the.sanitaly worrk of the State Board ofHealth of Kansas.

Professor Selskar M. Gunn spoke ot.the work that hlie had done at Milwau-kee in recommending improvementsin the health department. ProfessorSedgwick' sbokle of the conditions atPittsburgh in more detail than thefirst speaker had done. The lastspeaker, Professor Porter, told of hismemories of the days when ProfessorWhipple was still a student at the In-stitute.

NEW CONCRETEBOAT SUCCESSFUl

May Mean Great Advance iBuilding--To Holland Be-

long First Honors.

iin

Of great interest to all scientificmen of the present time are the manyvaried uses to which concrete is beingput, the latest of which is probablythe successful construction of amotor boat in Holland. The hull ofthe boat is 141/ feet long, and is builtup of layers of wood, concrete andwater-proofing material. The boatwas launched early in the season anduntil now has stood the jolts and jarscommon to such craft without anysipns of cracling.

The boat is equipped with a three-horse-power engine, which is sup-ported by steel beams, and is capableof driving the craft at a speed ofseven miles an hour. The frame wasmlade of iron, covered with 1Y2-inchmesh, 1-16-iLch wire netting.

SENIOR DINNER.(Continued from Page 1.)

Senior Portfolio. The industry of thePortfolio Committee this year in theobtaining of the Senior photographs,and the promptness with which thebook is issued, is indeed meritorious,and it is rumored that the Nineteen-Twelve Portfolio will mark the high-est point of excellence yet attained Inpublications of this sort.

Another item of great interest tote class will be the announcementof the elections of the Treasurer ofthe Class Fund, and Graduate Secre-tary. The placing in office of efficientmen for these positions will lbe thedeciding factor which will determinethe success of the class as an Alumniinstitution, and the decision of this,-;ction cannot fail to be of great in-terest to every loyal member of theclass.

Pliesident Kebbon will act as toast-master, and during the evening winpl)resent a review of the entire pro-gram as decided upon by the comnmit-tee, and will also speak in detail con-cerning the reception and dance atthe Hotel Somerset.

First. Marshal Benbow will addressthe class in regard to the outcome ofthe Senior elections, and will alsohlbring to the attention of the classi omle novel i(leas, by means of whicha distinctive Senior Week may be at-tained.

As chairman of the Portfolio Conm-mlittee, Second Marshal Cremer willmnentioll some of the details of thebook and its development, and he wvillalso discuss many things of impor-tance concerning the Class Day exer-cises.

As one of the most important func-tions of the week, tlhe Senior dinnerwill be considered by Tllird MarshalEicher, and as there seems to be a bitof confusion in regard to. the ticketsfor this affair it is believed that thistime. will afford an excellent opportu-nity to clear awvay any vagueness inthis respect.

The recent developments concern-ing the affiliation of the Class of '87with '12 in the enjoyments of Cout.nmencement have been placed underthe guidance of Charlie.. Carpenter,and it is certain that. he will havesome information for the class at thistime of a very good sort.

The Class Day Committee feels thatthis convocation of the Seniors willenable every man to attend the eventsof Commencement without that feel-ing of uneasiness which is alwayslVresent when there is an uncertaintyto be found in regard to minor de-toails, and should it be successful inlthis respect its benefit will more than

compensate for the fifty cent outlaywhich the dinner requires.

There- are four new statues in thesmall ponds of the Gardens to be ex-hibited for-a month and then shippedto other cities for display.

Three delegates of the M. I. T.Wireless Society attended a meetingof representatives of - the amateurwireless clubs held Monday night atYoung's Hotel. Harvard and Tuftsalso sent three representatives. Manyprominent men who have found thecause of the amateur worthy of sup-port were present. The manufactur-ers of scientific and experimental setshad Mr. Eastham, of the Clapp-East-ham Company, as their representative.Mr. Emery, of Newton, who is a prom-inent amateur, and who owns manycoastwise ships, spoke for the shipowners and the operators who workon shipboard. Mr. Proctor, of theNational Electric Signal Company,represented the manufacturers of com-rnercial instruments. Mr. Proctor isan expert operator, and it is his dutyto test out plants that his companyinstalls. A number of private opera-tors fromn stations along the coastalso attended and lent their supportto the statements of the speakers.

The men present, almost all mem-bers of the N. E. Wireless Society,felt that since so many expert ama-teur operators are members of thecollege clubs, it would be well to havethem represented in the officers of thesociety. They elected the followingofficers for the ensuing year: Mr.Eastham, president; Mr. Emery, vice-president; E. W. Chapin, of the Har-vard Wireless Club, secretary, and H.E. Affel, president of the M. I. T. So-ciety, treasurer.

A committee, composed of theresident and vice-president, of Capen,the manager of the Harvard Club, andof IH. B. Richmond, vice-presidenthere, was appointed to meet regularlyto attend to the matter of legislation.This committee will hold its firstmeeting next Monday night at Har-vard:

Mr. Powers, head of the Tufts Wire-less Club, spoke of his experienceswith the Navy operators.

ART STAFF COMPLETE.

Five Assistants Picked For NextYear's Technique.

Stanley A. Smith, Art Editor ofTechnique, 1914, announces his selec-tion of his assistants as follows:Francis 'Whitten, Jr., J. A. Root, F. A.Chandler, A. C. Sherman and LH. W.Barker. The innovation of all ArtDepartmenlt of six men, instead ofthree, has been brought about by theincrease of labor entailed by the suc-cessive advances made in the stand-ard and number of drawings that ap-)ear in the book.

Art Editor Smith has done con-siderable drawing and his experienceand skill in the direction of line draw-ing,,s promises an excellent generalstandard for Technique, 1914. Heand his assistants are students in theerchitectural course.

EMBARKATION.

More indications of the closing ofthe year confront us every day. Withthe announcement of the informalSenior dinner to be held in the Unionon Friday evening the last steps arelooming up before us. This is a timewhen the conventional college manis supposed dolefully to recite histale of woe, and confess to the manyopportunities he has wasted. It allsounds very fine until we are in thesame boat. How do we look backover our Institute course?

First of all there are few of us whoregret that the time has come toleave. That sounds, on the surface,rather contrary to the story books,but on second thought we see it is thehighest appreciation that we can showfor our four years at Tech. To besure, there are many sources of enjoy-ment that we are leaving forever. Wchave danced in our last Show Chorus,for the last time have seen JuniorProm with the glamour of under-graduate vision, and never again canwe spend our afternoons at the Fieldunselfishly toiling for the glory ofTech. All these peculiarly under-graduate joys we must leave; theywill linger in our minds to sweetenfuture memories of Institute days.

But we did not come to Tech forthese things. We came here to trainourselves to take a man's part In theworld, and any man who hates toenter the battle is not going to holdup his head for long. That is why thenew Tech graduate, while not forget-ting the pleasures of Institute life,looks out into the world as a placewhere he can show himself as a true

-se -of his Alma Mater.

Three of the world's interscholasticrecords were smashed at the 16th an-nual Princeton interscholastic meet onMay 4th, when Mercersburg Academywon the quarter-mile in 49 1-5 seconds,and the half-mile in 1 minute 55 sec-onds with J. E. Meredith, and Wenzof Roessle High School lowered thetwo-mile record of 10 minutes 10 4-5seconds to 10 minutes 12-5 seconds.

W. H. Meanix, of Legate School,won the twenty-first Dartmouth inter-scholastic track and field meet for hisschool Saturday, when he took 1Spoints. He won first in the high andlow hurdles and shot-put, second inthe hammer and third in the discus.Powder Point and Springfield Highwere tied for second place with 17.

STRIKE OF STUDENTS IN

NEW HAMPSHIRE ENDED

Suspended Student Allowed toReturn on P'robation in Two

Weeks.

With the return of about one hun-dred and fifty insurgent students ofthe three lower classes of the NewHampshire College 'yesterday, thestrike which has been in progress forthe past few days was formally ended.W. H. L. Brackett of the Sophomoreclass, whose suspension for soundinga false fire alarm led to the strike, willbe permitted to resume his studies onMay 14. He will, however, be put onprobation.

The announcement last Thursdayby President W. D. Gibbs of the sus-Ijension of Brackett precipitated astrike by the Sophomores, who werejoined by the Freshmen in a sympa-thetic demonstration. The Juniorslater swelled the ranks of the strik-ers, making the total number of menaway from classes about one hundredand seventy. The Seniors were ad-vised to stick to their work to avoidjeopardizing their diplomas in June.

A hurried meeting of the trustees ofthe college Monday resulted in anendorsement of President Gibbs'action. It was decided, however, tomodify the penalty by reducing theperiod of suspension to two weeks,and placing Brackett on probation forthe rest of the year.

COLLEGE TEAMS PLAY.

Brown and Princeton Have BestChance for Baseball Title.

The college baseball games to beplayed this week will practically de-cide the college championship. Prince-ton and Brown seem to be the favor-ites for the position, but Holy Cross,Harvard, or Yale may show unex-I:ected strength. Although Princetonvwas defeated by Holy Cross last Sat.urday, this was due chiefly to the finepitching and batting of Dube, the starHoly Cross twirler. Brown justescaped losing to Colgate Saturday,after piling up a seven-point lead, butby hard playing the Providence teamsucceeded in preserving their stringof victories unbroken.

The big game of the week will bebetween Princeton and Brown today.The game will probably be a greatpitchers' battle between Lear andConzelman, who are among the bestpitchers in the collegiate ranks. IfBrown wins she will have the strong-est claim to the championship title.After beating Princeton, Holy Crossgoes against Harvard Saturday atWorcester. This game will do a lottowards deciding where the Worces-ter team fits. Yale and Harvard havenot shown surprising strength, but areplaying better than at the first of theseason, and may yet advance to thehead of the column.

(Continued from Page 1.)operator needed to have it repeatedfive times, each time more slowly thanthe previous one, before he could getit right. The Navy tries to do all Itsbusiness with NeW 'York and-N-ewportthrough the air, and while trying re-quires every ship north of Cape Hat-teras to stop sending.

The society plans to have regularbusiness meetings, to which the asso-ciated clubs will send representatives,in number according -to their impor-tance. Every two months the mem-bers of all the clubs will be invitedto hear some important speaker.

The society here will hold a meet-ing Friday, at 4 o'clock, in t11 Eng.B., when the officers for the comingyear will be elected. As there is con-siderable business to be discussed, theusual talk will be omitted.

W. P. I. will enter a team in theNT. E. I. C. A. A. meet this year. Keith,the star miler, is expected to makeseveral points for them.

R. Tower has been elected captainof the Harvard Freshman track team.

A bill is now before the Housewhich will probably do much to pre-vent future disasters at sea if passed.This bill provides that "all bulkheadsshall be inspected every hour"; that"all lifeboats, floats and rafts shall bemade of sheet brass" and the "tackleequipment of copper rope with brasspulleys." Make of said sheet brassand copper is not specified, but per-haps it might be pointed out if de-sired.

John K. Stalkweather of Denver,Col., a member of the present juniorclass at Brown University, has wonthe annual prize of $100 of the LakeMohonk Conference on "InternationalArbitration." The prize was donatedby Chester D. Pugsley of Peekskill,N. Y.

A scientific expedition to the wildsof the Amazon will take along sawsand axes to conciliate the savages.How little we change; for the equiv-alents of such things were fetchedover to the red Indians by our Britishancestors something like 300 yearsago.

Saturday's track meets were suc-cessful in more ways than one, andrecords were broken right and left.Among the most prominent of the newmen to show up was J. E. Meredith, otMercersburg Academy. At the Prince-ton interscholastic meet this youngster did 440 yards in 49 1-5, and rightafterwards stepped a half mile in 1minute and 55 seconds. This makeshim a candidate for the Olympics, whowill be hard to beat.

Tell S. Burna of Cornell was an-other of the record breakers. In themeet at Penn he beat out MIcCurdy ofPenn, one of the fastest two-milers inthe country, by more than 200 yards.He did the distance in 9 minutes17 4-5 seconds. Next year he is ex-pected to go after Shrubb's wvorldrecord of 9 minutes 9 3-5 seconds.

Harvard and Dartmouth meet Satur-day in the Stadium in what promisesto be one of the best track meets ofthe season. Last year Dartmouthsprung a-surprise and won out, and isfiguring on repeating the performancethis year. The teams seem to beabout even, and some record times areexpected.

Wesleyan University defeated Trin-ity in their dual track meet Saturday,68 points to 58. Two new collegerecords were broken, Captain Wendellof Wesleyan doing the 120 hurdles in16 seconds, and Parkinson of Wes-leyan putting the shot 40 feet 6 1-3inches.

Tetzlaff in a 90 horse-power Fiatwon the 303-mile automobile roadrace over the San Monica courseSaturday, with an average of 78.50miles an hour. This is a world's rec-ord, the previous mark being 74.63.Bragg and Bruce-Brown, both driv-ing Fiats, were second and third.

The Annapolis Academy 'Varsityeight defeated the University of Penn-sylvania 'Varsity over a two-milecourse on the Severn, Saturday, bymore' than five lengths in 10 minutes22 seconds. The Navy Freshmen de-feated the Pennsylvania Freshmenover a one-mile course by a length in7 minutes 47 seconds.

THE INSTITUTE COMMITTEE.

In ieviewing the year's- course ofInstitute. life the work of tlie Institute Committee stands out as deserving}highest recommendation. The meet-ing yesterday afternoon concludes' aperiod of fruitful activity, and givespromise of preparations for similar ex-ceellent service next year.

It is of course impossible that agroup of men whose time is so fully occupied as the members of the In- Istitute Committee should be able to give the matters coming under their jurisdiction attention as complete andefficient as if their main duty werein that direction. Also since the mostcapable and popular men are electedto this committee, their time and at-tention is sure to be filled by a multi-tiude of other outside interests. Forthese reasons the work must be ap-portioned among various sub-commil-tees, and unless the responsibility ismore direct than in most such cases,many matters must of necessity be-come sidetracked.

The Institute Committee, however,has thiroughout this year shown an ad-mirable faculty of attending to itsduties with despatch and orderliness.It has filled a large place in the ma-chinery of T.ech undergraduate activi-ties, -and through them the activitiesmust look for future benefits. It is airegrettable fact that the student bodyis less a unit here than in most col-leges, due largely to the separationinto courses and the large number ofmen living in the city whose sole con-nection with Tech is their studies.Consequently all our activities are con-fronted with a situation of unusualseverity, and the greatest hope of suc-cess lies in co.operation. It is to sup-ply this connecting link between allundergraduate organizations, to pre-*serve .the wholesomeness and many-sidedness of development that the In-stitute Committee finds its greatest--usefulness.

In recognition of the signal successof the committee -in this. direction dur-ing the past year we wish to congratu-late Chairman Kebbon. Also Nve ex-tend our best wishes to Mr. I'ec, andwe feel confident that he will inauigu-rate another year of increasing use-fuln'ess.

.. ,

The last, meeting of the MinihngEngineering Society, which was sched-uled to be held in the Union last night,has been postponed to next Wednes-day night.

DARTMOUTH MEETS -'HARVARD SATURDAY

One of Closest Track Meets of-Season Expected in Stadium

Saturday.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~. ..

One of the best track meets of theseason is promised -when Dartmouthmeets Harvard in the Stadium Satur-day. Last year Dartmouth `surprisedthe athletic, world' by winning- whenHarvard was sure of coming out :ontop. This year they go-into- the meetwith even better men than they hadlast year, and. the Crimson athleteswill have to do their best to win.-The hundred yard dash is sure to

be done in ten seconds, with Russellof Dartmouth running against Towerand Foley of Harvard. Gardner andSteinhert of Dartmouth._may be de-pended on to do near 50 seconds, butdo not seem to be as good as some ofthe Harvard men.

Marceau and Harmon of the Green,team are among the best milers inNew England, and are expected tobeat out Warren of Harvard. P.Whitington of Harvard looks to bethe fastest twc-miler, but Ball andClark- of Dartmouth have shown lotsof speed.

Ihe weight events will be the bigfeatures of the meet. Tilley of Dart.mouth has been getting a longer dis-tance than Cable of Harvard, and heis expected to: take the first place inthis event. Batchelder of Harvardand Whitney and Lovejoy of -Dart-mouth will contest the shot-put. Her:yard has the better broad jumpers,but is not so strong in the pole vault.Gardner is doing the -hurdles in fineshape and may win both the timbeievents for the Cambridge team..

CATHOLIC CLUB.(Continued from Page 1, Col. 3.)

heart, how much of a conscience haveyou?" One does not get a trainedheart and a trained conscience in the-chlnol and from one's daily life; itis the duty of religion to undertakethis training. Mr. Walsh said thathe thought that the Catholic Churchwas at the present time the only'ehurch active in this work. TheCatholic man enters life with atrained heart and a trained con-science, and with them he appreciatesthat striving for a material goal is notthe highest aim of life. 'When a de-cision rests with him, if necessary, hegoes to a law higher than any manlas made, and one with which he isfamiliar.

Mr. Walsh then showed how theCatholic in public office could extendthis point of view into the actions ofgovernment. The government shoulano more strive for material or com-mercial superiority than the indi-vidual.

It should decide its questions byappeal to the higher law, for thereit will find the solution of all theproblems of the day. It is a qeustiontoday whether we shall have as ourpolitical ideal commercialism or hu-mantarianism. It becomes the dutyof every voter to decide that question,and with his trained heart and con-science the Catholic man is able tovote right.

After Mr. Walsh had ffi'slshed- theSeniors who are members of the clubwere called upon to speak. Schmie-deke, the past president, gave an out.line of the work of the past year andthanked the men for their co-opera-tion. He said that the club is use-ful in that it sustains the interestthat the men have in their faith, anddraws men on -the border line intotouch with people who are in sym-pathy with them. It is-the power ofa big club to draw more men thatmakles worth while the social func-tions of the club. He said fhat theonly thing that he was sorry for wasthat not every Catholic in the Insti-tute was there. He wished that themeetings might be "catholic," mightdraw every member of the church toevery affair.
