“ HE WAS AN INSPIRATION”

Horace P. Liversidge

“GREAT BLOW HAS FALLEN”

Dean Stratton

•\ gi(‘at blow has fallen upon the Drexel Institute, upon l*liiladelphi:i, and the educational world as a wlioli* in the passing of our beloved Presi­dent.

The intense human (lualities of the individual, the broad sympathy and understanding of all i)robleins brought to him, the splendid and un­varying supi)ort of all worth-while projects are things wliich have made ills adininistrat ion unforgettable.

The academic accomplisliments of the man are well known by all and even above these I wish to stress the loyalty, admiration and love which he inspired in all who worked with him. Above all he was a man who wished his co-workers to work with him rather than for him.

The loss which we feel is jirofi-s- sional, but more than that is intense­ly personal. During his administra ­tion he has won not only a large place in our admiration for his (|uali- ties but an enormous place in our personal affection.

lie was kind, generous, tolerant and altogi 'ther true. VV'e have lost not only a great administrator, a great educator, but we have lost a sincert“ and most highly valued friend.

We are humbly thankful for hav­ing known him and to know him well was to enrich oneself and become thereby a bigger man. He has filled a place of guide, counselor and friend, and that place is now very, very empty.

Another son iiiid two daughters also survive. 'I’hev are (ir:iham .Matheson, who is returning here from India, where* he sptMit several years teiicliing; and Mrs. (ieorgc tollmans. Mrs. Voiiin.’ins was m ar ­ried Noni(‘ months jigo and lives in •\flatita, (ia.

Dr. .\iatheson, at the tim<> of his death, was president of the Associa­tion of College Presidents of Penn­sylvania, member of the board of the Presbyti 'r ian llospit;il, t rustee of the Princeton 'I’hcMilogical Seininarv' and ni*‘nibrr of its curriculum coin- niittee, a director of the Thomas W. lOviins -Museum and Dental Ins t i ­tute of the rn ix c rs i ty of Pennsyl­vania iiiKl member of the education...................... . ilic IMiiliiilclplii!! ('liani-ber of ( ’onimerce.

I.iist year he was pri‘sident of the .Xssociiition of Co-o|)er;itive Colleges, which is now the division of co- oper.'itive engineer ing of the Society for the Promotion of lOngineering lOduc.'tfion.

Morn in Clier.'iw, S. Dr. Mathi;- son received his prepariitory educa­tion at the South Carolin.a .Military .\c:ii|emy (now ( ’ifndcl College). Hi's .\l. A. degree was granted by Leland StJinford I’niversi ty and he also studied at the I’niversity of Chicago and ('oluinba I’niversify anti receiv­ed llis I,I,.I), from Washington Jind Lee I’niversi ty and the I’niversi ty of (leorgia. The rn iv e rs i ty of Penii- syhjin ia honored him with the Sc.D. degree.

Me taught at (ieorgia ^ l i li tary School, I’niversity of Tt'nnessei*, iind then was called to the Ocorgiii School of Technology as professor of lOnglish, becoming president of tha t institution in I'.td.'i. During the war he served as Y. .M. C. .\. divisional chief, Langres Area, France.

His outstanding success as an edu­cator and organizer a t (ieorgia Tech where he was responsible for the phenomenal growth of tha t college (luring his tenure as presi<lent, re­sulted in his being called to Drexel Inst i tu te in li>22.

Plans were under way to mark, with fitting ceri'inonies, Dr. M athe ­son’s tenth anniversary as president of Drexel next .\i)ril. In the short sjian of less than ten years tha t he guided the destinies of the college founded in 181(2 by the late . \n thony .1. Drexel, the college has developed along all lines.

Dr. .M:itheson’s death ended the promulgation of plans for :i celebni- tion to lie held in recognition of the niar \elous success of his ten yi’ar regime, lie i:nne he'-e from lieorvjia School of Technology, where he se rv ­ed as president for sixteen years, in the spring (»f IH2J. .\ t that time the total ennillnient of l»rexel amounted to (!41, consisting chiefly of engineer­ing an<l domestic science students, the School of Library Science having l>ei‘n discontinued during the war and the Mnsiness .School being de ­voted mainly to secretarial courses. With I>r. .Miifheson’s advent t-nroll- ment rapidly increased until at pres­ent it has surpassed the mark.

With the increase in enrollment :i corresponding increase in the plant and e((uipment was accomplished, approximately being secur­ed through the untiring efforts of our beloved president.

He took an active interest in .ath­letics and gave to our teams not only his moral support and indorsement but iilso adtled his presence at all important contests. He was a f a ­miliar figure on tlii' Drexel bench. That this interest was niori- than re ­warded is amply proven by the niche that the Dragon occu|iies in the world of present-day collegiati- sport.

Our scholastic standing likewise ro.se with the upward Ilow in Drexel’s fortunes. 'I’lirough Dr. .Matheson’s earnest endeavor, |)rexi-l gained scholastic recognition by being a d ­mitted to the foremost intercol­legiate scholastic union, the .\ssocia- tion of .\merican I’niversities.

The School of Library Science was again organized and the School of Mnsiness .Vdministration advanct'il to a position e(|ual to similar schools of other colleges. ,\gain the hand of |)r. .Matheson was in e\ idence as he secured the support of Philadelphia’s l(‘ading commercial houses for our CO (i]ierative pliin.

These and many more are the phy­sical improvements that he secured for Drexel, yet they all fade into insignificance as one views the won (h'rful morale that he has di'veloped in the sfutlent body. Dri-xel spirit, the comradeship and aiil it stands for, is today a living memorial to our incomparable pri'sident. Let us hope to keep it and his beloved memory always on a pinnacle side by side.

“A LEADER P A SSE S-”beloved Pres iden t lias passed a w a y .” In t h a t sliort

sentenee is centered the sorrow of m any hear ts as Drexel Ins t i tu te bends its head in .sadness an d in m ourn ing for

the le ader who has passed beyond. Mere w ords are inadequate to exi)ress the loss tluit is fel t by the d ea th of P res iden t Mathe- son, for with him went a spir it whieli has grown to be the very foundat ion of Drexel Ins ti tu te . A G ib ra l ta r of s t ren g th and leadership , the g row th of Drexel will remain ever synonymous with liis name in the minds of those who have been ac(iuainted with the Institute , and who enjoyed the priceless g if t of his friendsliip. Desj)ite his br ill iance as an academic leader, the memory which will rem ain longest in the hea r t s of those who mourn him is th a t of the adviser an d fr iend, l l i s kindliness and good cheer, his never fail ing spirit, his lo y a l ty and unceasing .sui)i)ort of the Ins ti tu te have const i tu ted a guid ing light and .stable foundat ion wiio.se removal leaves only darkness and sor­row am ong those he has left behind him.

W e are not alone in our grief, for the influence an d range of fr iendship of ou r de p a r te d Pres iden t have been wide and felt in m any circles.

I l is pres idency of the Georgia Ins ti tu te of Technology and of the Association of College P res iden ts of Penn.sylvania indicate to only a small ex ten t the b read th of his ac t iv i ty in the academic world , b u t they i l lus tra te very well the wide respect and honor which Pi esiib'nt M atheson enjoyed. I l is pass ing causes a curta in of sadness to fall not only on his fr iends and adm irers a t Drexel Ins ti tu te , b u t also on his countless fr iends and ac((uaintances th ro u g h o u t the educat ional and commercial world.

To say th a t Drexel owes a tr emendous deb t to our d e p a r te d P re s ide n t is to s ta te the case very mildly, for it is ex tremely do u b t fu l wlie ther Drexel would have a t ta ined the position which she now enjoys if it had not been for the unceasing efforts and loya l ty of Pres iden t INIathe.son. Across the span of his ever act ive and succe.ssful life the re may be w ri t ten a word which has en ­abled men to lead g rea t armies, a w ord which has been the decid ­ing fac to r in th e dest inies of m any nations, b u t most im portan t of all, a w ord which is the b inding tie of human relationshij)— LOY ALTY, In the eyes of him who has gone from ns, loyalty is tliQ highest d u ty of man, a d u ty which li fts the clay of the flesh from the bondage in which it is born to the heights and re w a rd s of combined endeavor, a d u ty of d is regardance of which will dash the Iniman machine down to the lowest dep ths of failure .

A message del ivered by the Pres ident to the stiulents last y ea r il lu s tra tes well his never fail ing sent im ent concerning Drexel. “ The in s ti tu t io n which serves you so well ju s t ly claims yo u r loyal and g ra te fu l support. It s recortl of the j)ast few years in progressive and construct ive vision and accoiiiplishment has been accorded recognit ion and approval by the foreiuo.st accred i t ­ing agencies of the educational world. This march of progress will cont inue in its earnes t .search for the highest educational ideals, and construct ive suggest ions will a lways be welcomed.

“ The chief fac to r in D re x e l ’s succe.ss lias been the fine co-oper­ation nuinifested in la rge measure by officials and s tuden ts alike. Only by such co-operation can the highest success be at ta ined . D is rup tive and d is in teg ra t ing agencies are vigorously a t work seeking even the overth row of ou r governm ent itself. Y our presen t educat ional t ra in in g should include and inciUcate those ideals of loya lty which will promote the best in terests of your Alma M a te r ; and be t te r still, will p repare you for the leadership in pa t r io t ism and civic life which is the N a t io n ’s hope of su r ­vival and progress . I f such pa tr io t ic leadership and loyal service canno t be found am ong college t r a ined youth , the ((uest seems d iscouraging, if no t hoj)eless. The Drexel men and women will not fail in th is t r u s t bu t will meet its obligation in highest measure , is our p ra y e r and a ssu ran ce .”

Sucli is the message which has been left with us and which we must never fail to ca r ry with us in the years to come, for in those few short sentences i.s contained the philosophy of the g rea tes t le ader and fr iend whom Drexel has ever known, a leader whose spir it will never die in the hear ts of those who mourn him. Hut, though our hear ts nuiy be heavy with g rief and sorrow, we must have courage and ca r ry on more courageously than ever the woi’k which our depai’ted leader has so bri ll iantly begun. The place which the s t a r of Drexel will hold in the firmament of the academic world in the fu tu re depends to a g rea t ex tent upon our co-operation and loya lty to our Alma Mater. W e m ourn th« pass ing of a f r iend an d le ader but let us do him g re a te r honor by m ak ing the me.ssage which he has given us n n d y in g in the hea r t s of Drexel men and women, a symbol of the mejnory of a g rea t man who has crossed to the li fe’beyond.

DR. KENNETH MATHESON

PRO G RE SSIV E educat ion lost a bold leader and earnest w o rk ­er by the death of Dr. K enneth 0 . Matheson, president for ten years of Drexel Institute . His genius seems to have been

rem ark ab ly a d ap ted to the j)urposes of the inst itution which he headed and which g rew u n de r his guidance to a position of o u t ­s tand ing im portance in p ract ical education. Its endowments were g rea t ly increased, its enro llment near ly trebled and its physical equipment perfec ted u n d e r the admin is tra tion of Dr. Matheson. He was p r im ar i ly responsible, moreover, for c rea t ing a p rogram of advanced indus tr ia l education at Drexel, while at the same time rais ing its academic s tandards to the first rank. This was done by developing a p lan of co-operation with leading business and m a n ufa c tu r ing in teres ts of Philadelphia , a difficult u n d e r t a k ­ing which requ ired a lender of educat ional experience, discret ion and de te rm ined enthusiasm. Its success a t Drexel Ins ti tu te is Dr. M a the son ’s memorial.

His w ork was highly regarded among educators and he was honored la s t y e a r by election to the presidency of the Association of College P res iden ts of Pennsylvania . He will be long rem em ­bered by thousands of Drexel s tuden ts who benefited by his w ork and by the m any members of the educat ional profession who recognize its construc t ive purposes and accomplishments.

MATHESON OF DREXEL

N' O T only Drexel Int itu te and the City of Piiiladelphia, but the w ider field of American education as well suffered a g rea t lo.ss in the sudden dea th on S unday of Kenneth

Gordon Matheson. Coming to this ci ty less th a n ten years ago to assume the pres idency of Drexel Ins ti tu te , Dr. Matheson soon established for himself a commanding position in the educational life of the city and in the civic act ivities of the communty . U nder his wise and far-seeing guidance Drexel has been li f ted to the s ta tus of an im p or tan t college, its enrol lm ent has been tr ebled and its p lan t and endowments grea t ly increased.

Dr. M ath eson ’s establishment of clo.se co-operative rela tions with the leading m anu fac tu r in g concerns, the public uti li ties and mercanti le houses has resulted in improvements in technical and business adm in is tra tive tr a in ing the value of which can hard ly be overestimated. His place a t Drexel will be ex t remely diffi­cult, if not impos.sible, to fill completely, bu t his w ork has been so well done and p lan ted on foundations so firm th a t it is impos­sible to conceive th a t the trustees will fail to make every effort to ca r ry it forward to the perm anent benefit of the community.

DR. KENNETH G. MATHESON

T W E X T V -F IV E years at (Jeorgia School of Technology, six­teen as its head, ea rned for Dr. K enne th G. Matheson an ou ts tanding reputation. i>revious to his coming to Drexel

Ins t i tu te near ly ten years ago. l ie has been progress ively dup l i ­ca t in g a t Drexel w ha t he accomplished a t George “ T e c h ” , de ­veloping the lines of his unde r tak ing according to the field and its needs.

Dr. Matheson was a builder. He was an educator, with a broad outlook on the requirements of p resent-day education, not fo rgett ing th a t fitness I for th ^ w o r l d ’s ta sk requires back of si>eeial tra in ing, ch a rac |^ r and well -rounded physical and mental ( |uality. Neither a t Ge'tffgia “ T e c h ” nor a t Drexel was athletic t ra in in g neglected, and cul tu ral eciuipment had its place.

Drexel In.stitute is one pf P h i l a d e lp h ia ’s assets. The genius of Dr. ]\Iathe.son visioned its g rea te r oppor tun i ty and aided by a la rg e r endowment, laid the lines and expanded his organization for tha t la rge r service. He dies before he had achieved his design and ambition, as all builders of his type die— the ir w ork is never done, they always are planning foi* fu tu re work. B ut he left a plan and a i>rospect for Drexel Ins t i tu te g re a te r and be t te r and more efficient in .service by reason of the short ten years he spent lipre. —From the Evening Bulletin.

“HE WAS A HUMANIST”

Ruth A. L. Dorsey

President Kenneth Gordon Mathe- Hoii was a rarely flue combination of head and heart . He was the execu­tive, the builder, the husbandman who was able to make two blades grow where only one had been, but lie was also the humanist of a large tenderness found only in men of richly endowed nature.

His work as executive, as man of keen i)ractical sense, was Inspired liy his ardent belief in the sacred- iiess of hunmn personality. Every ])lan for expansion, every effort to lay solid foundations, grew out of a conscious dedication to human wel­fare in the large, and to individual human happiness in part icular.

A last interview il lustrates those interre lated gifts . He was enthusi ­astic about a hoped-for advantageous circumstance th a t would eifect fur- ter large planning for Drexel Ins t i ­tute . From the man of affairs, plan­ning to grasp “a t a moment’s no­tice ’ an opportunity th a t might arise, he was the polished man of the worl*d, solicitous about adequate ly showing appreciation for an unexpected bene­fit tha t hud come to Drexel Inst itute . In instant transi tion ho was the ten ­derly concerned friend and fa ther to his larger family whose personal needs and problems ho knew to an amazing degree. Solicitously he spoke of the possibili ty of students having to relinquish their college tra in ing because of financial pres­sure. With deepest interest , enn>- tionally expressed, he inquired aboi|t the family of a faculty member whb had suffered personal anxiety be­cause of illness in the home, ‘ w i th equal concern he inquired by name al)out a student whose health was in jeopardy, and ended the interview by a ringing, “Keep me informed aiul toll me what I can do,”

Thus it was tha t our great leader

constantly gave of both mind and heart to Drexel Inst i tu te , whose up­building was destined to be the crown of his life’s work.

Hanks of beautiful floral {tieces surrounded the casket at the nor th ­ern service and were transported south with the body. These flowers were tokens of the regret with which friends, faculty, and student bodv regarded the passing of President Matheson.

“WORDS ARE TOO WEAK” (Continued from Page 1)

idly his motto: “Live Within Our Income.” Whenever he found, how­ever, th a t the income was insufficient for our needs, he believed thoroughly in using every legit imate source for increasing it and we all know how successfully he used his genial man­ner and masterful diplomacy in do­ing so.

Yes, Drexel will find it difficult to get a man to fill his place.

LOCATION OFRYDER CLOCK

CHANGED IN GREAT COURT

The J. Peterson Ryder Clock has been brought forth from its former hidden site and placed out in full view in the Court. As it hud been suggested in the last issue of the TRIANQLK the face is now illumi­nated so th a t all Drexel students can be on time. Dean Ryder’s bit of advice, “ lie on time,” can now be seen from all corners of the Great Court.

BOOK CORNER“BERN A RD BHAW”

W ritten by F R A N K H A R R IS

At last a new version of the great “ (i. H.” has l>een presented to the book-rending public by Frank Har- ri.s, eminent biograjiher. Harris has taken his inside information on Hhaw and pushed the pedestal out from underneath his subject—“O. B.” fall ­ing to ear th midst the common-folk.

Perhaps not to much is Harris de­r iding Shaw as he is a ir ing his ob­jections to some of Shaw ^ princi­ples. The biographer objects to the Irishman on the ground tha t he is an incurable Puritan . Harris bases his arguments on the fac ts tha t Shaw, though his se lf-advert ised business is iconoclasm, is really too much of a conformist to be a true reformer— tha t he sits snugly in the shadows of the whole bourgeois regi­ment of idols—that , a t last, he makes a great noise in the world, on paper.

Harris quotes Shaw as lie modest ­ly tells of his (Shaw) bein^ seven things, “a philosopher, sociologist, novelist, crit ic, sta tesman, dramatist , theologian.” “But,” says Harris ,

“111 give him credit for six, but for the life of me I cannot see where he gets in as a philosopher—at mont a court jester. . . . Shaw t h i n k s more of a d ram pipe than a cathedral— the plumber philosopher, if you will but no Plato .” Another interestine point of a t tack is H arr is’ statement th a t the war has taught Shaw noth­ing. He is still the doctrinaire of the nineteenth century school.

Thus, to summarize, we niav sav th a t Harris considers O. B. ‘shaw as a m ighty publicist, quite short of true greatness.

Well, friend reader, you will agree with me, will you not, tha t this is a new opinion concerning the status of Mr. Shaw f However, it seems to me, th a t while Harris is literallv “knocking” Shaw, he is building up a case for himself, “F rank Harris the Supreme.” I t may be interesting to cite Oscar Wilde’s gibe that Har­ris was “ received in all the great houses— once.” Form your own con­clusions, I have mine!

Japan is plainly tak ing her time about withdrawing her troops from Manchuria, and before doing so she will probably have gotten just what she wanted. In spite of the League of Nations, the Kellogg P act and the Nine-Power Pacific Treaty, Ja- j)an will have obtained a fa r more s trategic and influencial position in Manchuria.

The Emperor has been persuaded by the civil government in Tokyo to call a halt. The troops, it is re­ported, have started to move eas t ­ward. Nevertheless there is the un- disputable fac t th a t the Japanese now control three large Manchurian cities, practically all of the railroads, and the civil administration of the province.

I t is doubtful if there will be any further bloodshed except for occas­ional riots. Japan and Ch'iiia have both grudgingly accepted the sug­gestion for the evacuation of Chinchow by China, while in return the Japanese agree not to take the city.^ Should this plan be carried out i t will give Ja p an absolute con­trol i n Mauchuriu—ju s t wlmt she sta rted out after.

Tientsin skirmishes are incidental to the Japanese operation in M an­churia. They are doubtless the r e ­sult of China’s i r r i ta t ion against the Japanese wherever they are a t this time. I t might result in in terna ­tional complications due to the pres­ence of troops of foreign powers in the city. However, unless Japan embarks upon a new and vaster scheme nothing will come of it.

Whether or not the League takes a hand in the negotiations, i t will only be a f te r Ja pan has achieved the mil i tary position she is de te r ­mined to get. The Japanese want some one ruling a t Mukden with whom the ir wishes have consider­able weight as in the days of Chang Tsolin. The first par t of the J a p a n ­ese program was successful in th a t they chaaed out Chang; the other half will require considerable diplo­macy.

Tokyo has not taken the League of Nations very seriously. As a

m at te r of fac t they have all but openly flouted them. However, pub­lic opinion has been focused on the Manchurian trouble as it would not have been in former days. I f the League has not gleaned any praise for i ts pa r t in the affair neither has the Kellogg Pact. Something will have been gained if the nations just so much as realize th a t peace will not result merely by “ injunction and resolution.”

France is quite stubborn in main­ta ining her position regarding re­parations. She will reduce repara­tions only as there is an equal re­duction in war debts. As for allow­ing Germany's p r ivate debts to come before her reparation payments, that is unheard of.

French in terests are thus closclv tied up with those of United States and Great Britain. Premier Laval is supposed to know tha t our basis fo r collecting war debts is capacity for payment, and France looks quite able.

Premier Laval’s sta tement con­cerning private debts is of immedi­a te interest . There is $1,200,000,000 in short-term credits held mostly by New York and London, besides $6,-000,000,000 in government and com­mercial debts ; one-half of which Germany owes to United States. The French want any payment to go to­ward reparat ions and United States and England would ra ther see Ger­many’s p r iva te debts taken care of.

The claims will have to be brought into line or they will never be paid. There will have to be some new ar ­rangement. I f F rance demands too large reparations i t will ruin Ger­many’s commercial credit , and i t is useless of United Sta tes and England to insist t h a t their claims come first. In order to collect our commercial claims our war debt will have to be reduced. Germany is scheduled to pay about $800,000,000 each year which she cannot do. Some of her creditors are bound to lose. I t is up to United S ta tes’ diplomacy to keep our loss as l it tle as possible.

China^s Boy Emperor

Flirts With DestinyOf the dramatic figures in the

Manchurian si tuation none is more dramatic than the last of the Manchu Emperors, who is reported to have returned to Manchuria in an effort to restore his dynasty to power. Henry Pu-yi, twenty-six years old, twice Emperor of China and twice driven from his Dragon throne, is tiiis remarkable character.

Born in 1005 with no direct claim to the throne, he became the ruler a t the age of three. The Boy Em ­peror, they called him. But in the palace halls of the Forbidden City he was neither a boy nor an emperor. Here he was t reated with such care and pomp tha t his mind was crumped to the ways of modern government.

At the age of seven, he was forced to abdicate due to the revolution and also the ambit ion of the Honan Gen­eral and sta tesman Yuan Shih-kai. At about this same time Sun Yat- seii, who had boon elected |>resident of China by the Republican forces, returned from the United States. The army of China, which was controlled by Yuan Shih-kai, seized the throne from both Pu-yi and Sun-Yat-sen.

The new republic failed to prosper under the despotic and corrupted government. Yuaii Shih-kai convert ­

ed the^ democratic spir it into an enervating struggle for power and wealth. However, in 1916, Yuan died a f te r having been forced to renounce his imperial plans. China fell to its lowest ebb. Tax collectors robbed the people to enrich themselves, gen­erals contended for power and the entire^ country fell into a sta te of rebellion. Finally, mili tary men, loyal to the grea t Manchu Emperor, on Ju ly 1, 1917, restored Pu-yi to the throne.

The Republican forces in China during Pu-yi’s second reign soon forced the twelve-year-old Emperor from the throne.

In 1924 the so-called Christian General, Feng Yu-hsiang, completely ex terminated the power tha t Pu-yi had gained by his remarkable per­sonality and his eagerness for mod­ern education. He fled to the Ja p a ­nese concession in Tientsin where he is now on the move to become Emperor.

To all Chinese Pu-yi is an ingrate and a menace. Had the Republic killed him there would today be no restoration question. He is waiting for the day when they will be forced to proclaim him Emperor.

r a B u c u m r r YQUAWCATIONS

Drexel Alumnus Gives Some Valuable Pointers

For Success

B y 0 . H. FRIO K , ’11

Mr. C. H. Frick is a graduate of our class of 1911 Electrical Engi- neers. He is a t present employed by the Pennsylvania Power & L igh t Company in Allentown, Pa. He is in charge of tlie P la n t Be tte rm ent De­p ar tm en t and therefore, in a good position to tell us w hat qualifications are necessary for success in the P u b ­lic U ti l i ty Business.

“ I will endeavor to give you some of the qualifications necessary for success in the Public U ti l i ty Busi­ness in which your w riter is engaged. I will limit this largely to operation of electric, gas and steam heat prop­erties with which I have had expe­rience.

The principal qualifications might be listed thus:

1. Honesty.2. Ability to co-operate with one’s

fellowman.3. Be a self s ta r te r and don’t have

to be cranked. (This is a quote from Dean Rowland while un ­der his guidance a t Drexel.)

4. Acceptance of responsibility.5. Hard work.

Ability to obtain information quickly from books or others to solve any problem ra ther than t ry ing to remember all Engi ­neering formulae, etc.

Helpful allies are part ic ipation in Engineering Society Activities in ­cluding Public Speaking.

The Public U ti l i ty field offers en­gineers of abil i ty steady employment w ith opportunity for advancement to the Presidency of the Companies.

As to the most necessary subjects for students , I w^ould stress thermo­dynamics, p lenty of shop and labora­to ry work, higher mathematics , gen­eral theory of a l te rna t ing currents, and some general cultural subjects to make the s tudent th ink for him­self .”

PERIOD COMEDY TO BEPIPEN TED

Dramatic Club Presentation of Elizabethan Play is

Postponed T il Jan.

The Elizabethan comedy, “Ralph Roister Doister,” was to be present ­ed by the Dramatic Club and the Rouge and Robe tonight in the au ­di torium, bu t i t has been postponed, due to the death of Dr. Matheson.

George McCray plays the t i t le role as an eligible bachelor who much admires one Dame Christian Cus- tance, p layed by Louise Hollis. The principal difficulty confronting Ralph Roister Doister is the fac t th a t his beloved Custance is already be tro th ­ed to Gawyn Goodluck, the la t te r being represented in the play by William Hastings. Roister Doister makes an unsuccessful a t tem p t to take advan tage of Goodluck’s a b ­sence by wooing Dame Custance, and his unconventional manner of doing so provides the comic element. I t ’s all good, clean, wholesome fun, and you’re assured of an evening’s en te r ­tainment.

This play is the first full-length comedy in the English language, and i t was writ ten by Nicholas Udall, an English schoolmaster.

“ Ralph Roister Doister” is no long­er produced professionally, and is seldom even undertaken by amateur dramatic organizations. Since there a re so few opportunities to see the play, this presentation of i t should not be missed.

The financial support given to d ra ­matic work by the school eliminates the necessity of charging admission to the performance.

i l d e rbecause they’re freshC a m e ls are never p a rch ed o r to a sted !

F o l k s who smoke really fresh cigarettes made from choice sun-ripened tobaccos never have to give a thought to their throats.

That’s because such fresh cigarettes retain natural moisture —and are gratefully smooth, cool, throat- friendly, mild.

Camels are the fresh cigarette — everyone knows that now—they’re blended from the finest Turkish and mild Domestic tobaccos that money and skill can buy.

We would never dream of parching or toasting

these choice sun-ripened tobaccos—that would only drive off or destroy the natural m oisture that makes Camels fresh in nature’s own mild way.

The Camel Hum idor Pack protects a fine cigarette fresh with natural m oisture — it could do little o r nothing to freshen a cigarette that is dried-out o r factory-stale.

If you smoke for pleasure, see for yourself what freshness means in mildness and flavor —switch to Camels for just one day—then leave them, if you can!
