Stromme has hada wide and varied career, and he willdiscuss some of the popular ratherthan technical phases of the subject.

Dartmouth Wants GliderThe Managing Board received a let-

ter from a group of students fromDartmouth college who are interestedinl glider work. They wished to pur-chase the Technology glider from, theAeronautical Engineering Society foruse in Hallover. The Managing Boarddeclined to sell tale ship since it de-sires to fly a gilder on the Cape thisseason and it would tak~e too longto build a newv ship. However a prom-ise of, cooperation was sent togetherwith information as to the problemsof glider construction so that theDartmouth club can consider the ad-visability of building their own glider.

Eminent Architect Will SpeakOn 'Building of a Great

Cathedral'

Mr. Ralplh Adams Cram, who is gen-erally considered one of the leadersin the field of architecture today, willbe the first speaker on this year'sAldred Lecture series. The lecturewill be held Friday afternoon at 3o'clock in Rooni 10-250.

Mr. Cram's subject, "Tlle Buildingof a Great Cathed al", is concernedwith the design and construction ofthe Cathedral of St. John, the Divinein New York City, the design of whichwas supervised by Mr. Cram himself.

The speaker is widely known inarclitectural circles, not only for hiswork on the cathedral, but also forhis supervision of the buildings atPrinceton University. He has writtenmany books on subjects r elated toarchitecture, and is generally well-re-garded as a speaker.

This series of lectu es was madepossible by the gift of Mr1. John E.Aldred, a prominent industrial eni-gineer. During his worlk in the manyfields of industry with whicl lie wasassociated, Mr. Aldred observed adecided lack of some medium to betterenable the engineer to link up histheoretical krnowledge as gained atschool with some of the practicalproblems with whicl he would latercone in contact. With a view to cre-ating such a neeting, Mr. Aldred es-tablished a series of lectures, intend-ing to have them cover about fiveyears, with five or six lectures everyyear. In the past a great many menfamous in their particular fields of end-eavor have spoken to thle students ofTechnology under the auspices of theseries, and it is expected that manymen of the same calibre will be se-cured as speakers in the future.

The lecture Friday, as well as theothers in the series, will be open toall Seniors, Graduate Students, andmembers of the instructing staff.

All themeetings of the convention includinga dinner on Friday night were heldin the Pennsylvania Hotel.

The e were two groups of men re-presented at the conference. Therewere graduates representing the dif-

ferent fraternities, and many, wellknown men as speakers, including theformer Secretary of Navy, Ray LymanWilbur. Also present were morethan a hundred deans from the differ-ent colleges. The second group of menwas composed of representatives fromeighty seven different colleges in thecountry.

The convention began with a firstmeeting at 9:00 o'clock Friday morn-ing, and continued throughout the daywith a short pause for luncheon Ther eprlesentatives were entertained dur-ing the luncheon by the singing ofMarietta W alsh of the MetropolitanOpera. Following this, talks weregiven by the leaders. A dinner wasgiven Friday night and the conferenceclosed after the last session on Sat-urday moniing.

|As We See the Movies |

TH E M ETROPO LITAN

With a good feature, good music andand a fine stage show, this week'sperformance at the Met is well worthseeing'.- The picture is "Half -Way toHeaven", starring Buddy Rogers andJean Arthur, assisted by an able cast.

The story concerns a beautiful acro-bat, "Greta Nelson," and who as mem-ber of a troupe finds odious the jealousattentions of her partner. Whenl "NedLee" (Buddy Rogers) joins the per-formers after the suspicious death ofone of "Greta's" admirers, "Nick's"hate for the young man endangers hislife. Hair-raising thrills follow, and aconvincing fight precedes the finalfade-out.

The photography in the picture isunusual. Some very fine acrobaticshave been screened, and excitementand suspense fill the story. Through-out "Half Way to Heaven" one seesexcellent acting. Besides the stars,whose characterizations are uniformlygood, Paul Lukas, playing the jealouslover to perfection, contributes a gooddeal to the success of the picture.

The best stage show for some timeis "Match Box Revue". Ingenious setsproduce unique effects in the colorfulproduction. Al Mitchell and his Bandare featured, assisted by a fine collec-tionl of vaudeville talent. Morriartyand Burn execute intricate dancesteps, the Foster Girls present a num-ber of pleasing chorus numbers, an-other act, Gordon and his dogs, iswell done, and the Giersdorf Sistersharmonize delightfully.

Guy W. Vaughan Says AverageStudent Lacks Sufficient

ISpecialization

How to make the best use of theintelligent and enthusiastic man powerthat is pouring from the colleges of thecountry has proved to be one of ther eal problems of the aviation indus-try. Hundreds of students loookinlgforward to graduation and theiremergence into the world of com-merce, have caught the -fever of thisfresh and swiftly growing business Offlying, and have made up their mindsto join their fortunes with it. On theother hand, aviation has a tremendousneed for eager, trained, and youthfulminds to take up its -multitude oftasks.

Among the aviation executives whohave given most thought to this prob-lem is Guy W. Vaughall, vice presi-dent and general manager bf theIWright Aeronautical Corporation. Avery large number of young collegemen have come to Vaughlan for jobsor advice, and college presidents' havefrequently inquired of him what to dowith their young charges eager to betinto aviation. To these he has out-lined a general primer of the indus-try as it applies to the collegiate insearch of a job.

"Aviation" Too Comprehensive"It is, first of all," says Vaughan,

"something of a mistake to regardaviation as one industry, a coherentwhlole. The industry is in fact a groupof many industries which are worldsapart in all except their ultimate aim;to makse and sell airplanes, to operatethem, and to keep them in the air.

"Suppose we simnply list these va-rious sub-industries, to make clear howvery differentt they are: In the avia-tionl business we (1) design, and man-ufacture, and sell engines; (2) de-sig~n, and manufacture, and sell air-planes; (3°) operate airplanes at afixed base for training or for localtaxi service; (4) operate airplanesover scheduled routes carrying mailand passengers; (5) operate commer-cial airports; (6) fly airplanes as pro-fessional pilots; (7) manufacture andsell carburetors or pontoon floats orspruce lumber or linen fabric or an),of the hundreds of aeronautical ac-cessories; (S) teach students to fly.in large scale operation.

Candidate Should Specialize"There are, of course, more subdi-

visions of the industry. But these willserve to demonstrate my first point:that the student should make up his

mind as quickly3 as possible whichphase interests him, and train himi-self especially for that phase. Heshould not allow himself simply todrift 'into the aviation business'. Forin that case we may find a graduatemechanical engineer operating a mailroute when he should be designingengines, or a first class sales depart-ment executive inspecting lumber outof a spruce forest.

All Start in Machine Shop"There are men who come to the

Wright Company with excellent spe-cialized educations, from the best col-legs in the country. Our practice withthem is almost identical in every case.Whether a newcomer is a graduate ofengineering, or business administra-tion, or acc:ounting, we- usually puthim in a pair of overalls in the serviceshop and let him spend three or fourmonths grindings valves. That is a tedi-ous and uninteresting job. It is agreasy Job, with long hours and mo-notonous labor. But we serve two pur-poses with this method: wve find outif our candidate has the backbone es-sential to this business, and we teachhim what the inside of an engine lookslike. A college man that can grindvalves eight hours every day for threemonths with plenty of overtime has

EL Kamy '31 "I -would advise nearly all men en-terin, the aviation business to getfamiliar with the Jtick of an airplane.A few hours of FLying teaches thingsthat precepts can never teach.

"Summing up my advice to collegemen interested in this business, I saythis: Decide, as quickly as possible,what phase of the industry is interest-ing to you. Learll everything aboutthat phase wrhichl can be learned frombooks or from men experienced in it.And finally, do not scorn a start insome very lowvly job. For that, afterall, is the best and surest way tolearnl, and to avoid those later mis-takes which come to every man, nomatter llow intelligent he may be,who has not actual working experienceto back him up."

At Washin.-tonl and Lee they callthem cold checks instead of hotc leclks, ande any student who passesthree of them is dismissed from theuniversity. The cold check committeehas been forced to meet three times awveek lately besides its regular execu-tive meeting to take care of the greatflood of bad chlecks.

WXITH the recent increase in popularity of the course in Aero-V Fnautical Engineering there have developed difficult prob-

lems, both to the men studying in this branch of engineeringand the faculty in charge of the course. For the men the ques-tion is: In what shall I specialize in this vast field, and whatshall I do with my knowledge once I have graduated? For theinstructing staff the question is: What and how shall we teachthese students, that they may best develop their latent abilitiesand find themselves a worth-while place after leaving theInstitute ?

Answers to these questions are given by Guy W. Vaughan,vice-president and general manager of the Wright AeronauticalCorporation, in an article in column four of this page. Hisfideas on the situation are comprehensive and concise, and wehave printed his message almost verbatim.

T'he treatment accorded their new employes by the WrightCompany is an effective antidote for a common ailment amongyoung men interested in aviation. They regard it as a sport,and they enjoy it for the thrills they receive from it. The fa-mous airplane corporation puts its new men to work for threemonths in the shops, where they spend eight hours or more eachday grinding valves. This is to test their pertinacity-if theysurvive these months, they have proved the sincerity of theirdesires.

No actual drudgery is imposed on the younger students inCourse XVI, although this plan might be very worthy of trial.Nevertheless the men must perform certain hard scholasticlabors before they are admitted to the higher planes of theirprofession. There they may choose in which phase they willspecialize.

This is another point stressed by Mr. Vaughan. "Decide",he says, "as quickly as possible what phase of the industry isinteresting to you." Trhe common term, "the aviation industry",is indeed a misnomer. It is a term wider in its scope than"medicine" and almost as broad as "engineering". This is theage of specialization. The man wcho has an indefatigable un-derstanding of a particular phase of an industry, and with thisa general knowledge of the whole, is the alumnus to whomposterity will point with pride.

Many men are entering the aeronautical engineering coursemerely because it is a newly opened field. From this group maycome successes. But do not enter aviation and its allied fieldsmerely for the thrill you expect. It is a serious business, re-quiring master minds, and there will be much hard work in thebeginning.

One of Mr. Vaughan's statements requires a word of warn-ing. If you must learn to fly to complete your qualifications,learn during the summer vacations. A number of sadder butwiser students will bear witness to the fact that flying andstudying at Technology mix with a violent reaction-the in-evitable dismissal of the student from the Institute is almostassured.

A MUSICAL PRIVILEiGEOF all the reactions peculiar to animals, man included, one of

the most potent and least understood is that of music. Theworld has always had music and no one can truly state the ef-fect it has had upon the development of civilization. Nordichistory tells of the Norsemen singing in their diminutive craftin the midst of tempests. And to this day, according to KonradBercovici, when one of a gypsy tribe becomes sick, instead ofany doctoring, they sing, play, and dance for him, because intheir reasoning a sick man is an unhappy man.

Their method has proveed efficacious. Such capable minds asthose of Edison, De Forest, Marconi, have been directed towardmaking it possible for the Vermont farmer to wear overalls toa performLance at the Trocadero. These inventors realizedman's need of harmony and rhythm and large phonograph andlradio companies have enriched themselves and their world-wide clientele.

Albeit there are but three universal languages and thesethree are standard equipment-everyone understands laugh--ing, crying and music. Technology is indeed fortunate in beingable to hear Mr. Arthur Whiting in his series of fine concerts.Technology men have in the past years greatly enjoyed Mr.Whiting and his assistant artists. The second concert of theseries will be January 7th.

"THE MERCHANT OF VENICE"THE REPERTORY

With "The Merchant of Venice" theRepertory concludes its Shakespear-Iean attempts for the present at least.Lark Taylor's finely done portrayal ofShylock is perhaps the outstandingfeature of this production which is inits last week at the Repertory.

Portia was played with some graceby Cynthia Latham and Bassanio, abit too strenuously by Allen Nourse.Howard Kyle as Antonia was not part-icularly inspiring. The real highlights of the production seemed tocome, with exception of Shylock, fromsome of the work done by those inminor parts. Of these the portrayalof Launcelot Gobb~o by Lois Buell wasentertainment of a rare variety.

(Continued from Page 13secretaries that made the necessaryplans for the first of these reunionsthat was held in 1904. This gatheringwas an outgrowth of a suggestionmade by the Class of 189 3 and didmuch toward making the five-year re-union a tradition at Technology.

In 1909, the reunion was held in con-nection with the inauguration of Dr.Richard C. Maclaurin as president ofthe Institute. The third gatheringwas planned for 1914 but due to thefact that war was impending in EuI-rope the arrangements were post-poned.

No reunions were held for two yearswhen in 1916 Technology's goldenjubilee was celebrated with the open-ing of the buildings on the north sideof the Charles River. This affair wasmarked by a great pageant, symbolicof the march of progress and the pass-ing of the Institute from its old build-ings on Boylston street.

Banquet Sets New RecordIn 1920, the Five-Year Reunion drew

nationwide attention because of ademonstration, during the dinner, ofthe first national long distance tele-phone hookup. This network carriedthe voices of the speakers to thirty-four cities, stretched from the Atlanticto the Pacific, where groups of alumni,who were unable to attend in person,listened to the ceremonies.

The reunion or 1925 is noted forits jamboree dinner, the attendanceat which was so large, that a newrecord for such an event il Bostonwas made. One of the most uaiquefeatures of this banquet was that therewere no speeches.

Youngston '30.

Thle women on the campus of theUniversity of Illinois criticized thedress of the men, so the accused sexsoon adopted the slogan "We pay forshows--that's why we wear theseclothes." When the co-eds refused toretract the char-,es, the campus nextday saw all the male students garbedin overalls.

Jolhn B. Fulton, alumni secretaryand editor of the Ohio State Univers-ity MIontlly, made a statement recent-ly to the eff ect that he favored thepolicy of athletes capitalizing on theirathletic ability.

Rules laid dowe by the Soplis at theUniversity of Pennsylvania requirethat all first-year girls must constantlyhave at least three nickels on hand(or in pocket) to pay fines for break-ing freshmen rules.
