Speaking to over 20,000 Technol-;ogy Alumni and their friends in 67cities over the United States, England,Cuba, and Hawaii, President SamuelW. Stratton and six other speakers rinNew York, Washington and Rochesterdelivered short messages as part ofthe Radio Phantom Dinner last night.

Beginning promptly at 9:30 LesterD. 'Gardner, chairman of the Dinner,announced from New Ylork the gen-eral plan of the program and gavea short history of the affair. He alsontrodluced David Sarnoeff, general man-ager of the Radio Corploration ofAmerica, who discussed briefly thedevelopment of radio.

Predicts Radio-MoviesMr. Sarnoff referred to the "2.Q,000

banqueters sitting at a table 3000miles Iong" and made the predictionthat within ten years people will notonly hear but see the speakers atthese fa-r flung dinners. Referencewas also made to the photo-radiogramwhich was received at New York fromTechnology Alumni in Hawaii. Tkheprocess for sending and receivingphoto-radiograms was invented by analumnus of the Institute, Captain R.H. Ranger '11.

After Mr. Sarnoff's talk there weretwo selections by the Victor O-rches-tra and then 1'. C. Deslmond '09, presi-dent of the Technology Club of NewYork, introduced Dr. Stratton.

Immediately after the introdtletionan M. I. T. cheer was given simul-taneously by all the Alumni at everydinner.

Attended by a capacity crowd of 550,with every seat occupied and manystanding, the Pop Concert at Walkerlast night proved to be a completesuccess. The audience of undergrad-

.uates was keyed to a high pitch ofenthusiasm, and applauded heartilythe many selections given by theMusical Clubs and Tech Show.

Appearing as the first attraction, theBanjo Clu;b presented medleys of pop-ular dance numbers. The Glee Clubfollowed, receiving a large amount ofapplause. Thre Mandolin Club, whichwas next on the program, gave twoselections which also were well re-ceived.

Many Encores CalledOn its second appearance the Glee

Club was tendered such hearty ap-plause after singing "Away to Rio"and "Old Man Noah" that it was o'blig-ed to give an encore. Next in ordercame the Banjo Club, then the GleeC~lub quarte~tte. The latter made a hitwith the audience, judging by the pro-longed applause which greeted its se-lections. As w ith the Glee Cluib it-self, the quartette was called upon togive an encore.

L. J. O'Malley '29, magician, wasthen ushered to the platform with hisindispensable table and apparatus. Hisfeats kept the audience continually atattention. He was followed by theMandolin Club which presented twomore pieces.

Next appeared on the stage a realnovelty, a quartette of two wailingclarinets and two banjos. The lis-teners wildly applauded the plaintivemelodies and their catchy syncopa-tion until the players returned and

Different CoursesTo Be Discussed

By Prof. Miller;'To Compare The Engineering

Courses for Benefit ofFreshmen

Concluding the freshman lecturesof the term, will be a talk by Profes-sor E. B. Miller '86, head of the De-partment of Mechanical Engineering,in room 10-250, tomorrow at 4 o'clock.

In this lecture the different engin-eering courses offered by the Institutewill be discussed so that the fresh-men may get a more accurate knowl-edge of them to use in choosingtheir courses.

The chances of getting a positionon graduation will be discussed andthe requisites that an employer looksfor will -be mentioned. Employeesare, most frequently judged by their-personality, not their marks, accord-ing to Professor Miller.

That youthful tendencies are not al-ways fair guides has been pointedout by the lecturer. He quotes moth-ers as saying, "I am sure Willie willmake an electrical engineer becausehe is always rigging up bells aroundthe house." Thi~s, he says, indicatesthat the boy might make, a good wire-m~an or electricians, but might de-cidedly not make pa good electricalengineer. Most parents have mistakenideas as to the work of the variouscourses and the, false views are sharedby their sons on entering Technology.

Institute Professors Fail to

Agree on Method ofExamiaions

During the last few years the ques.tion whether books should be used inexaminations has aris-en, particularlyin the technical schools. The sciencesand engineering are constantly becom-ing more complex so that there arevast quantities of formulas and lawswhich must be memorized in order topass an examination if the books arenot allowed.

Here at the Institute the instructingstaff is divided on the question. TheElectrical Engineering Departmenttends to be in favor of conducting ex-periments to try the efficiency of sucha system while the Mechanical Engi-neering Department has contendedthat the old system is the most prac-tical.

Accordiing to Professor Hudson ofisthe Electrical Engineerring Depart-ment, engineering has become toocomplex for a man to remember allthe details. It is the general princi-pals and processes of reasoning whichshould be developed while the minorlaws aind formulas can always befound in a handbook. Formulas thathave been memorized will soon beforgotten but the ability to reason willremail. The aim of most of thecourses is to train the students forpractice and in practice the large ma-jority of engineers depend on a hand-rbook for such information. Whyshould we have the student memorizethings he will never use from memoryin later life. In all the aim should beto produce graduates capable of rea-soning .rather than ones who havemerely learned to memorize.

One of the professors in the Mech-anical Engineering Department state dthat if books were, allowed in examina-tions it would become almost impossi-ble to make the students learn theory.Theory is the chief point in which theInstitute excells and that would thenbe studied only by a conscientiousfew. Any corres;pondence school canput out "engineers" in a few monthsthat can use a handbook but who real-ly knows nothing of what they are do-ing. The graduates of Technologywould be apt to degenerate. similarlyif they were allowed to use theirbooks in examinations. It would takenearly perfect students to study the-ory and the derivation of the formulaswhen they knew they could use every-thing in the book without deriving oreven memorizing it. Finally whatwould become of the trained engineer-if he lost his book? Would he thenbe any better than anybody else?

A profesor in Course I has advisedthe students in his courses to go tothe theater the night before examina-tions. He is also against studyingon Sundays for he believes that study-ing during the remainder of the weekwill be better because of the weeklyvacation.

10 Years Ago This WeekAt a very successful Junior dinner

the plans for the dedication of theNew Technology in Cambridge werediscussed. A thousand students willbe required to act as guides and toassist in the large pageant that willtake place.

The Juniors won the interclass in-door track meet by a large margin.No records were broken or even ap.proached.

Cornell students are worried aboutthe aristocracy of cadet officers 'thatexists at that institution. Despite theUniversity ruling that prohibits stu-dents from parking their cars on thecampus during the day, a movementis now under way to allow the studentofficers to enjoy this privilege. It issought on the basis that cadet offl-cers may, since they receive remu-neration from the University, be con-sidered as instructors and as suchpark their cars under the instructorsprivilege. There is a general beliefthat all students should have thisright to park, as cadets are more stu-dents than instructors.

WHJ~ATCEING the careers of several pseudo-politicians in the local,Vvfirmament has proved edifying to us; their antics reveal themas such unmitigated and unsuccessful asses.

The SeniorIn the main, the difference between the freshman and the Senior

-is that the freshman looks with awe at the Senior while the latterlooks with disgust at the former. The change of attitude is more ofa chronological convention than an actual occurence.

The usual Senior in the average fraternity house would gladlymove out were he not obligated to remain in and did he not dislikesetting himself up as a heretic.

The MissionaryCollege editors are usually lost without some vague cause to

beat the tom-tom for, the chance to save souls, and sufficient grasson the campus to belabor the students for walking thereon.

The Feed TroughThe food is eaten because it is physiologically necessary to do

so, not because it is aesthetically or gastronomically proper and fit.

The Honorary SocietyEveryone acldits they're all wrong; everyone thinks they're

political, but nobody ever refuses a bid; and when he has been ad-mitted, he changes his mind about the class of membership.

The Brown Baggerlooked down on by everyone else; scorned as a grub too elose to

the ground to enjoy himself; doing nothing for his fellows, yet the,Grind would not cschange his position with anyone. He is proud-er of a string of I-H's than he would be of the presidency of his-class; and he rather pities those who struggle along with lowergrades.

Studies mean nothing to him; activities mean less. He cannotunderstand why the life of the Institute should not revolve abouthis particular sport; and there is nothing more hateful to him thana professor who flunks out the star athlete of the school.

The Indian was considered a lower form of the genus homobecause of his love for baubles. Behold the vests of college men.

PublicityThe average activity considers the college newspaper its own

A great deal of care is taken to impress upon every newcomerthat Technology is different from ally other place in the world, andthat one must revamp one's attitude in order to exist here.

RE: GENERAL STUDIES

AT IS genrcally conceded that the courses in General Studies offered1bv- tlew institute alre decidedly worth while. They have been

referred to as examples of what Technology dloes to produce anenaineer who is more than a tradesman, and they do offer an op-portunity for the broadening of those interests of the average studentwhich do not come within the scope of his particular course andoption.

IIowrever the fact that these courses are given in one sectiononl1v which usually meets during the lunch hour, automatticallyeliminates meanv men with conflicting classes from taking tlie course.In some of the less popular subjects this condition is probably un-avoidable, blt the enrollment in some courses indicates tliats withthe increased attendance which would result from more convenienthours, two sections might well be formed.

After the good showing made bythe relay teamns against Harvard lastSaturday, especially in the sprints,Technology seems assured of a goodtrack outfit next spring. With HankStein-brenner in the hurdles, JackWiebe in the sprints and broad jump,Major Sanford in the pole vault, SolBrodsky in the shot, Capt. George Le-ness in the half, and several otherslimbering up, the team that annexesmore points in the New Englandsthan Coach Hedlund's men are ableto garner, will be. very deserving ofvictory,

Ralph Johnson had a bit of toughluck last Saturday night in the swim-ming meet with Amherst when hemade a poor turn in the back strokeevent and lost just enough distance toprevent him from winning the race.

Now that Nurmi and Joe Ray arenot cavorting around the board tracksthis winter, we wonder what the statattractions at the various indoorg-aues, particularly the B. A. A. meetwill be. Last year's games weremarked by the appearance of Nurmiand the Arena was filled to capacityby those who wanted to see the littleOlympic runner do his stuff.

Meade, last year's Frosh hockey captain, who has been playing so well atcenter ice this season, recently sus-tained an injury at the Arena, in oneof the morning practice sessions, thatmay keep him out of the game for therest of the season. While carrying thepuck down the ice, he crashed into theboards on the side lines. Meade wasone'of the fastest players on the teamand his loss will be severely felt byCoach Stewart.

Certainly socked the nail onthe head with our Winter hosethis year!

Home Swimming Season ClosesWith Williams Meet

On February 13

Followers of swimming at the In-stitute will have but one more oppor-tunity of witnessing the Varsity inaction at home, the clash with Wil-liams on February 13 in the Cam-

bridge pool being the only remainingmeet which is not held in an out oftown pool.

If the team weathers the midatermexaminations and emerges intact, theyshould finish the schedule in fine styleif their past performance means any-thing. A team as well balanced andexperienced as the present one hasnot been in evidence around the In-

stitute for several years.With a decisive victory over Bos-

ton University and practically a tiewith Amherst resulting from theirfirst two meets, a good start has been

obtained. The most significant fac-tor in the victory of Amherst last Sat-urday was the fact that their relayteam was not fatigued from enteringmore than one event as Ralph John-son and Tubby Grover were.

Grover raced the 40 and the 100yard dashes previous to swimming an-chor man on the relay team. RalphJohnson swam both the 40 yard dashand the 140 yard breast stroke besidesthe final event. !Captain Weis alsowas on the relay team after takingsecond in the gruelling 440 yard dash.Walworth was the only fresh manon the squad.

Daily Scrimmages With VarsityBringing Out Fine Points

Of Team Play

"The fastest all around freshmanteam that I have seen for a goodmany years, and I have watched andcoached more than a few squads," isthe way that Coach Bill Stewart sizesup his yearling team that is practisingnearly every morning at the BostonArena. After watching his outfit passthe puck for a few minutes it is easilynoticed that Bill was not making anidle boast.

With only two weeks practice inJack of them, the fresh are displlay-ing some very unusual teamwork.They are all fast on their skates andclever with the stick. The only trou-ble in making the final selection of thesextet will be in determining whowill be in the forward line and whoon the defense. At present, all themen have claimed experience in thewing positions and, strange to relatehave backed up their statements.

Frosh Practising With VarsityAs yet Coach Stewart has not made

a definite line-up, but he intimidatedthat the following men might makethe starting squad: Crosby and Palm-er at the wings, White at center, Fos-ter and Cullinan on the defense, withPetersen at goal. The others who haveshowed up well in the practice ses-sions are: Horan, Richardson, Tobin,and McLaughlin.

Perhaps more than anything else,that has helped the youngsters tocome along as fast as they have, istheir daily scrimmage with the Var-sity. It would not take long for adeptpupils to learn the fine points of thegame from watching and playingagainst such speedy forwards as Ber-keley and Randall, such defensemenas Crandall and Brooks, and such cageprotectors as Captain Johnny Deig-nan, and Richards.

On the regular schedule, the froshare not due for a game until twoweeks after vacation, but ManagerCarroll and Coach Stewart are hopingto secure a game in the meantimewith the Boston University and Bos-ton College freshmen teams.

If the Varsity team finishes the sea-son with as good a record as theyhave at the present time, it will bethe best year for the Cardinal andGray hoopsters for some time. Lastyear's quintet was able to get no morethan two victories while the best, theteam of the year before could do wasone win.

So far this season the team has justabout broken even in the number ofwins and losses, having annexed threevictories and four defeats. A win to-morrow night would give them aneven break.
