PROFESSOR KARAPETOFF, speaking atthe C. U. |C. A. Forum on October 17,urged the necessity of group morality.Experience shows that, however goodand sound the individuals may be, theymay not and usually do not when actingcollectively betray. equal goodness andsoundness. Hence there must be train-ing not only of 'men and women as in-dividuals but of both acting together asa homogeneous group. This moralitymust be taught, to the end that the con-duct of the group may be ethically su-perior to the conduct of separate mem-bers. Such teaching must begin inchildhood and be continued as an essen-tial part of education.

President Welcomes BritishClub Announces Speakers for the Year

—First British-American Club inEngland Formed at Oxford

The annual smojker of the CornellBritish-American Club on October 20took the form of a reception to all Brit-ish students in the University and thosewho have been connected with the Brit-ish Empire. Thirty-five residents of theBritish Empire who attended includedrepresentatives" of Bermuda, Canada,England, British East Indies, SouthAfrica, and Australia. Acting Presi-dent Albert W. Smith '78 welcomedthem to Cornell, and Jack Moakϊey toldhow British and Americans worked to-gether to help the Belgians in. stagingthe Olympic games. He said that ifEngland ever takes up athletics asAmerica has it will be difficult for thiscountry to maintain its supremacy ontrack and field.

Sir Auckland Geddes has accepted theinvitation of the Club to speak in Ith-aca, probably in February, and JohnDrinkwater and Alfred Noyes are ex-pected here some time during the year.

News comes from London that sincethe formation of the first British-Amer-ican Club in the United States at Cor-nell last year, a similar organization hasbeen formed at Oxford, the first in Eng-land. Hon. J. !W. Davis, American Am-bassador to England, and the EightHon. Viscount Bryce, 0. H., former Am-bassador to the United States and authorof ' 'The American Commonwealth, '*have consented to serve jointly as presi-dents of the British club. One of theobjects of the organization is announcedas the collecting of American books andperiodicals as a means of familiarizingits members with American life and cus-toms. The Eev. Lawrence Faucett, aEhodes scholar from Tennessee, is li-brarian and will have charge of thispart of the club's activities. The mem-bership of the Oxford club is abouteight hundred, while that of the Cor-nell organization is about one hundred,both about evenly divided between Brit-ish and American students. Eussell H..Peters '20 and Alexander B. Trow-bridge, jr., '20, Ehodes Scholars at Ox-ford this year, were both members ofthe Όornell British-American Club asundergraduates.

BENJAMIN T. BURTON '22, of Rut-ledge, Pennsylvania, has been electedassistant crew manager.

Campaign to Begin SoonPlans for Big Gathering November 13

and for Energetic Campaign

''New York Alumni Day" is a newCornell institution as the primary resultof the enthusiastic conference held underthe auspices of the New York StateEndowment Commit tee in Ithaca onOctober 23. Five thousand New YorkState Cornelliaiis, if the plans of theNew York State Committee go throughas now planned, will be in Ithaca onNovember 13 to celebrate a Cornell vic-tory over Columbia's football team. Asa result of the conference on Saturday,delegates from all parts of New YorkState adopted the slogan, "New YorkCoriiellians Back to Ithaca on Novem-ber 131" There \vill be no campaign-ing on that day, and no soliciting forsubscriptions to the Endowment Fundin Ithaca. The meeting will be merelyfor the purpose of arousing in NewYork alumni a new interest in Cornellas a preliminary step towards theorganizing of the entire State for theEndowment drive which will open thefolloλviiig Monday.

In the inspiring talks J. DuPrattWhite '90, alternate chairman of theEndowment Committee, who acted astoastmaster, Acting President Albert W.Smith 78, Jerome D. Barnum '12,publisher of the Syracuse Post-Standardand chairman for New York State,Charles R. Marsh '07, campaign, organ-izer, Prof. Charles L. Durham '99, whohas traveled more than 70,000 miles inthe interests of the campaign, HomeynBerry '04, graduate manager of atli-^letics, and John F. Moakley, Cornell'sveteran track coach, placed great em-phasis on the necessity for arousingmore interest in Cornell and her doingsamong the people who are -closest to theUniversity geographically. It was shownthat New York State had not nearlyreached the standard set by many otherlocalities in the percentage of alumni

who had subscribed to the EndowmentFund. NIt was clearly the sense of themeeting that before any effectual effortcould be made to interest Coriiellians inthe -State in supporting the Universityby financial contributions it would firstbe necessary to obtain their interest andmoral support.

Plans are accordingly being laid fora huge gathering 011 the day of theColumbia-Cornell football game, whichis looked to as being the most importantgame to be played in Ithaca this fall.Practically all the energies of the Statecommittee are being bent towards get-ting as large a delegation from varioustowns and cities throughout the Stateas possible 011 November 13.

Following the Saturday conference inIthaca, there will be State-wide localmeetings of Cornell alumni. Arrange-ments have been made to hold rousingCornell meetings in fifty-eight towns.In several cases there will be as manyas three such meetings in a singlecounty so that every Coriielliaii in theState can attend one without much in-convenience or expense to himself.

The tremendous enthusiasm of JeromeD. Barnum '12, who is one of theyoungest local chairmen appointed dur-ing the national campaign and whopromises to make a record showing forCornell in the biggest job that has beenundertaken, has inspired everyone whohas come in contact with him and hisorganization. Faculty members whowere present at the dinner and con-ference have pledged their aid to theState campaign and they will representthe University by speaking at the meet-ings that are scheduled for the eveningof Mxmday, November 15, throughoutthe State.

The New York City campaign willsoon be under way again, following thedecision of the executive committee. toappoint M. M. Upson '99 as chairmanof the metropolitan district. Associatedwith Mr. Upson in an effort to reach

the larger prospects among Coriielliansand iioii-Cornellians is a committee onoperations as follows: Edward N. San-derson '87, William F. Atkinson '95r

Eoger H. Williams '95, and JansenNoyes ΊO. This committee will have-entire charge of the campaign withinthe metropolitan district, and it is theirpurpose to reach every potential largedonor to the Semi-Ceiitennial Endow-ment Fund before the close of the cam-paign 011 January 1, 1921.

Between the work of the New YorkState Committee and that of the metro-politan district it is evident that theone State which owes most to Cornellwill have been exhaustively canvassedbefore the official close of the campaign.

COENELLIANS AT THE UNION

A. D. Weil '86, director of the Cor-nell Bureau of the American UniversityUnion in Europe, reports that duringthe summer several Cornelliaiis have-registered at the Union. It is urgedthat Cornell men who have occasion to>go to Paris make it a point to reportat the Union, and Mr. Weil is par-ticularly desirous that they get in touchwith him.

The list of men who registered this;summer is as follows:

Howell S. Cresswell '06, Charles L,Browne '10, Elmer A. Better '16, I\W. Stewart '16, A. Fred Westman '21,Norbert Weiner '14, M. J. Hubert Ί3r

Civil Engineers Change RulesNew York Society Now Open to All

Cornell Engineers

At its meeting held at the CornellClub of New York on October 19, theCornell Society of Civil Engineers tooka step in accordance with the spirit ofthe times when an amendment to theconstitution was unanimously passed,changing the name of the ' society to"The Cornell Society of Engineers"and making eligible for membership allCornell engineers, whether or not theirtraining was in Lincoln Hall.

The Cornell Society of Civil En-gineers, organized in 1905 to promotethe welfare of the College of Civil Eii-

' gmeeriiiig at Cornell University and toestablish a closer relationship betweenthe College and its alumni, has longbeen one of the most potent of alumniforces of the University. The officersand members have decided that with theamalgamation of the engineering col-leges in Ithaca, a similar broadening ofthe scope of their society would be adistinct step forward.

The society has grown rapidly inmembership, having 1015 members onits roll at present, about one-third ofwhom are residents of the district sit-uated within fifty miles of the NewYork City Hall, the other two-thirdsbeing non-resident members. An em-ployment committee has been activeever since the founding of the society,and many of the alummi have beenhelped to secure positions.

In 1919, shortly after it was learnedthat the combination of the engineeringcolleges of the University was underconsideration, the Cornell Society ofCivil Engineers t>egan to consider thebest way to enlarge the society, makingit available to all Cornell engineers. Themechanical engineers, electrical engi-neers, and architects were invited to at-tend Ifvo annual banquets and severalother meetings, and influential Sibleygraduates cooperated with fine spirit-towards making these joint meetings asuccess. The large number of Sibleymen who came to these meetings con-vinced the officers of the society thatthe time had come to propose the neces-sary amendments to the constitution.'They were drafted and presented at tirespring meeting on April 9, 1920, andwere brought up for final vote in ac-cordance with the terms of the.constitu-tion at the next meeting on October 19,when they were carried unanimously.'The success of the amendments wasgiven lengthy applause .indicating thatthe old members will take great pleasurein welcoming the Sibley men into the•society.

Those eligible to membership underthe new constitution are: "Persons

who have 'been members of the Engi-neering College of Cornell Universityas students or teachers, for a period ofone year or longer, are eligible as resi-dent or non-resident members and shallbecome such upon signing the Consti-tution and payment of dues. Forms forthe purpose of subscribing to the Con-stitution shall be prescribed by theExecutive Committee. The resident mem-bers shall be those who have their resi-dence or place of business within aradius of fifty miles of City Hall, NewYork. The non-resident members shallbe those whose residence and place ofbusiness are at a greater distance."

After the adoption of the amend-ments, Dean Dexter S. Kimball gavea heart to heart talk about the affairsat the University. The address im-pressed all those present with the greatopportunity which is afforded by thesociety for being of service by keeping,in touch with things "on the Hill."

Dean Kimball was unanimouslyelected an honorary member of the so-ciety.

An interesting address was given byClifford M. Holland, chief engineer ofthe Bridge & Tunnel Commissions ofNew York and New Jersey. His talkwas illustrated by lantern slides and heshowed in a clear and interesting waythe manner in which the difficultproblems of ventilation and construc-tion have been solved.

The following officers were elected forthe year 1920-21: president, Ira W. Mc-Connell, C. E. '97 first vice-president,J. Wright Taussig, C. E. '08; secondvice-president, Prof. Henry N. Ogden,C. E. '89; recording secretary, Earl W.Hall, C. E. '14; corresponding secretaryand treasurer, Carroll R. Harding, C.E. '10.

After the election many constructivesuggestions for furthering the Endow-ment Fund Campaign and for makingthis association more useful to the Uni-versity, the State of Michigan, and thelocal alumni were offered.

A social session followed the businessmeeting, at which sandwiches, cider(soft, unfortunately), doughnuts, and'' Missouri meerschaums'' were dis-tributed.

The secretary takes this opportunityto remind Cornell alumni of Marylandthat a regular luncheon is held everyMonday at the City Club in the MunseyBuilding.

LITERARY REVIEWHas Our Democracy Succeeded?

The United States: an Experiment inDemocracy. By Carl Becker. New York.Harper & Brothers. 1920. 8vo, pp. viii,333. Price, $2.50 net.

This is a timely book. It is a care-fully planned and well considered studyof the groλvth and prospects of theAmerican Eepublic from the point ofview of the success of its governmentin giving that which it promises—ruleby and for the governed; fair play andequal opportunity to all. ' 'What is thecharacter of this democracy? Whatwere the conditions of its origin? Uponwhat solid or fragile foundation doesit rest? What is essential in order thatit may endure?"

The answers to the first three of thesequestions are based upon historical con-siderations which Professor Becker setsforth in a systematic and highly effec-tive manner. The character of theearly colonists; the different aims andreasons they had for coming to Amer-ica; the significance of the Revolution,which, beginning as a money dispute,became transfigured into a great epicstruggle for a new social order; thegrowth, culmination, and significance ofthe struggle over slavery; all thesematters are handled with skill and in-sight, and .for the average reader newlight is thrown upon them.

Though in no sense a pessimist, Pro-fessor Becker seems, like Lord Bryce,to think that the severest tests of Amer-ican democracy lie ahead. The old orderof things has largely gone; the greatareas of fertile public lands have beentaken up; the cost of living has risennever to return quite to the formerlevel; large masses of foreigners in ourmidst make the problem of Americaniza-tion most difficult; already we arepassing through the earlier stages ofthe industrial revolution, and theproblem of capital versus labor in-sistently demands a solution. How

shall we ensure "an equitable distribu-tion of wealth"?

Fortunately the experience of Europein attempting to cope with some of theseconditions and problems lies before us'like an open beok. The tyranny of theminority may be as cruel as that of th-3majority; the autocracy of one classmay be as bad as that of another. Allclasses must have a fair share in theGovernment else the rich will only con-tinue to grow richer and the poor poorerto the breaking point. Governmentalpaternalism is futile; socialism ischimerical. The present order, however,Professor Becker thinks, will be pro-foundly modified to meet the new situa-tion. The democratization of industry,he thinks, will be accompanied by thedecentralization of ί' the consolidatednationalist state.''

The book will be widely read as asane and thought-provoking discussionof fundamentally vital issues.

Cornell Defeats Colgate

Cornell defeated Colgate last Satur-day by a score of 42 to 6, doubling thetally by which the Maroon won. lastyear7s game and equaling the highestscore made by any Cornell team againstthe Hamilton institution since 1896. Itwas Cornell's first victory over Colgatesince 1911, the Maroon, having won fourgames since that date, and one gamehaving ended in a tie.

The Cornell' machine rushed the Col-gate players off their feet in the firstperiod, scoring three touchdowns to oneby the visiting team. In the secondquarter Colgate's defense stiffened andsuperiority in punting helped them keepthe play well in Cornell territory partof the time. But in the third periodthe powerful Cornell attack againcrushed its lighter and weaker op-ponents, scoring two more touchdowns,and in the final quarter another wasadded before most of the first elevenλvas withdrawn to the side lines.

Cornell showed more power than atany time this season; but as a real testfor the eleven the game -proved a disap-pointment. Colgate was outweighed atleast ten pounds to the man. Her linewas outplayed and so were her ends.She fought gamely and gallantly, butlacked the physical equipment to with-stand the swift, powerful rushes of the'Cornell backfield.

Webster and other Colgate backs man-aged to penetrate the Cornell line oc-casionally, only to be stopped short byan alert secondary defense, the Cornellbacks coming in- rapidly and downingthe runner smartly. The Cornell ends,particularly Munns, gave the best ex-hibition of defensive play of the year,Munns throwing the opposing backs forlosses and picking up a blocked puntof Kaw's on the fifteen-yard line, whichif it had gone to Colgate might haveput Cornell in an uncomfortable posi-tion.

As a defensive test the game did notcome up to expectations. If Colgatehad anything "up her sleeve7 7 it stayedthere, for except for the successful exe-cution of three passes which nettedabout thirty-five yards, in the fourthperiod, and three first downs, Colgatemade little headway, her only success

in the running game being a few dashesthrough the line.

But Colgate was not to be denied atouchdown, and it came as other touch-downs have come against inexperiencedCornell teams in other years, on a runfrom a kick-off the length of the field.After Cornell had scored the first touch-down of the game in five minutes ofplay, Dodge kicked off. The ball wentto Webster on his ten-yard line and hestarted down the field like a streak.Dodging his way through the pack,which had been pretty well bunched, heeluded several Cornell tacklers andskirting the western boundary, ran awayfor a touchdown. He was perhaps thespeediest back 011 either team and ther?was no Coriiellian fast enough to over-haul him.

To the credit of the Cornell eleventhis set-back disconcerted nobody. Noone lost either heart or nerve, but theteam proceeded about the business ofthe day and had scored two touchdownsbefore the first period ended. The out-come of the game was settled rightthere.

Colgate was stronger than Union orSt. Bonaventure by a considerable mar-gin, better coached, and better equipped.But the Maroon was much weaker thanlast year's sterling outfit, while Cornellwas stronger, much stronger indeed,largely because the team is equippedwith a powerful offense.

It was the relentless drive of thebackfield that was the outstanding fea-ture of Cornell's play, particularly thebrilliant running of Kaw, at left halfback, who scored four of the six touch-downs; and also the fine work of Mayer.Numerous quick lunges into the line byHoff, who started as varsity quarter forthe first time and made a favorable im-pression, also contributed much to main-taining a sustained punch and drive.The backs had better interference thanheretofore, and they had better coopera-tion from the ends. Both Kaw andMayer used their heads and did nothestitate to leave their interferencewhen they sa\v a chance to cut in, orout. Most of the gains were made offtackle, but Kaw made three touchdownsand Mayer one by rather wide sλveeps.Kaw proved a hard back to stop,^ withhis slippery dodging running, his changeof pace, and his shift of balance. Mayerwas a little slower to get under way,but once started, he too shot forwardwith great speed and po\ver. On theline, besides Munns, the playing ofBraytoii at center, who covers quite abit of territory, is worthy of specialmention.

A thirty-five-yard run by Mayer pavedthe way for the first Cornell touchdownmade after five minutes of play, Kawmaking the score. A series of rushes

C O R N E L L A L U M N I N E W S 59

from miclfield brought the second, andseveral fake forward passes and a runby Kaw gave Mayer a chance to skirtleft end for an eight-yard run for thethird score. In the third period a marchdown the field brought another, andHoff 's recovery of Nayer 's fumble onColgate's forty-yard line paved the wayfor the fifth score, which was made byHoff. The final touchdown was madeby Kaw on a fifteen-yard run after anadvance of thirty yards by rushing.

Cornell made good on two forwardpasses out of five attempts. The passdidn't figure much, the backs using asimple running game almost all of thetime. The lineup and summary:

Freshman Team BeatenThe freshman eleven lost its first game

of the season Saturday to the Mans-field, Pa., State Normal School by thescore of 7 to 0, on Alumni Field. Inthe first half the freshmen kept the ballwell in their opponents7 territory, butin the third period Crawford of Mans-field recovered a punt on Cornell'sthirty-yard line and ran for a touch-doλvn. Sayre kicked goal. The fresh-men made a fine effort to score in thelast five minutes, driving from theirthirty-yard line to Mansfield's six-yardline in three forward passes. Theyreached the two-yard line on rushes, butthen time was called.

SPORT STUFFThe Colgate game on October 23

showed a Cornell team that still had

much to learn, but which knew an in-

creasing number of things well and did

them well. The Colgate team which was

defeated 42 to 6 was not so good as the

Colgate team which beat us last year,but it was far from being a bush leagueoutfit. Scoring six touchdowns againstthem in mid season by the use of notmore than three or four simple plays isan encouraging performance and onethat would not have been dreamed offour weeks ago.

Dr. Prank Lehigh is sending outS. O. S. 's for more Pullmans to take theboys to New York for the Dartmouthgame on November 6. That Dartmouthgame is going to -present a job that willrequire a lot of doing. Seats for it arenow on sale here -at the Athletic Asso-ciation, at the Cornell Club, 3α W. 44thStreet, at the Hotel* Pennsylvania, atSpalding's Fifth Avenue Store, and atthe office of the New York NationalLeague Baseball Club, 13 W. 44th Street.All seats are reserved and are $2.50 >each. In the ease of mail orders 15cents should be added to remittances tocover registry postage.

The Colgate game drew a crowd whichfilled and ran over the stands. Theparked automobiles filled the lower play-ground and oozed out all over the cam-pus. If the Colgate game will do thatin October, you can imagine what mighthappen under certain conceivable cir-cumstances. For the Columbia game onNovember 13 we can (and will) increasecapacity by 2,500 through the use oftemporary stands On the west side of thefield. That will see us through thisyear, but it won't be long before we'llhave to set about at least doubling thecapacity of a field that is only fiveyears old.

That Columbia game here on Novem-ber 13 is beginning to assume a gooddeal of local importance. There area number of angles to the situation.It's the last home game. A good manycrowds are having house parties. A lotof Old Grads are coming back. Theup-State alumni are being stimulateda bit. Buck O'Neil, for many yearsthe coach at Syracuse—this year atColumbia—has a large personal follow-ing to the north of us and the game atSyracuse on the 13th is not one of themore important ones.

Hence the pyramids 'and the tem-porary stands. Tickets, which are $2,\vill be ready for distribution duringthe week of November 1. They will alsobe on sale at Eeynolds's in Syracuse.

We expect the Penn game tickets

about November 7. All seats for thisgame are reserved and are $3 each.

Otto Affeld, Charley Blair, MauriceWMnery, Tar Young, Harry Taylor,Creed Fulton, 'and Jimmy Hardin at-tended the meeting of the BaseballAlumni Association here on October 23.The matter of coaching was discussedbut no recommendation was made.We're going to have another meetingpretty soon and see what luck we havewith the ouija board.

Hoyle is Crew Coach

Eddie Foote, Pete Jackson, Li Weed,Fred Colson, Distler, Jakie Smith, FredKelly, Lew Tatum, -and some otherswere here on the same day. Their ouijawas working 011 all six. Since theyleft us the Bowing Committee of theCouncil has announced the selection ofJohn Hoyle as rowing coach to carryon the Courtney system. No one droppeddead with surprise and everyone seemspleased. The Varsity Crew Associationhas appointed John Collyer its repre-sentative to help generally in carryingon the Courtney system. R. B.

GRANTLAIND RICE, in The Sportliglit,comments on Cornell's athletics as fol-lows: "Those who don't believe thata system counts for much in football—that material in the raw is everything—might watch Cornell's progress for thenext twτo years. As for systems, one ofthe greatest athletic systems we knowof is Jack Moakley, a great trainer anda sportsman of high ideals.''

THE OTHER SIDE OF PROBATION

(The ALUMNI NEWS in its editorialcomment in the issues of August and ofOctober 14 pointed out some of the un-pleasant reactions of the studentstoward probation as well as the originof the idea and the evolution of it in thepast twenty years.

Another side of the question, asviewed by the Secretary of the Univer-sity, has been given to an alumni asso-ciation which -has made inquiries. Weare glad to publish this letter, whichindicates one of the many differentpoints of view from which this problemis seen in Ithaca.

The letter is addressed to James F.Barker '93, assistant superintendent ofpublic instruction of the City of Roches-ter, N. Y., in response to a request forinformation about the rule of proba-tion).

The following statement is made inanswer to your letter of October 7, re-garding '' probation.''

The powers of the several Faculties aredefined by the Statutes of the Univer-sity, Article VIII, Section 3, (A) and(B).

(A) The University Faculty. . . .It shall be the function of the Uni-

versity Faculty to consider questionswhich concern more than one collegeand questions of University policy;and it shall have disciplinary juris-diction over students of the Univer-sity except for unsatisfactory work,for which discipline is entrusted tothe respective special Faculties.

(B) The Special Faculties. . . .Subject to the right of revision by theUniversity Faculty on all matters af-fecting general University policy, itshall be the duty of each specialFaculty to determine the entrance re-quirements for its own students; toprescribe and define courses of studyfor them; to determine the require-ments for such degrees as are offeredto students under its jurisdiction; toenact and enforce rules for the guid-ance and government of its studentsin their University work; to recom-mend to the Trustees such candidatesfor degrees as may have fulfilled therequirements; and in general to exer-cise jurisdiction over all other edu-cational matters in its college.The eligibility of any student to take

part in student activities is determinedby the Eules Governing Student Organ-izations. Those rules were adopted bythe University Faculty on May 7, 1900—twenty years ago. See Paragraph I,c, and the note defining probation.

(I) Student Organizations in Gen-eral. No person shall represent thoUniversity on any student organiza-tion, either at home or abroad:

* * * *c. If he is on probation, that is,

if by vote of his Faculty, he is dulynotified that a repetition of failurein work or neglect of duty will re-sult in his exclusion from the Uni-versity.(NOTE.—Probation is regarded as

but one step short of exclusion, and isto be distinguished from advice,warning, admonition or censure. Pro-bation terminates at the end of theterm for which notification is givenunless it be terminated earlier by voteof the Faculty concerned.)

Putting a student on probation is theact of a special Faculty, of the Facultyof Arts and Sciences, for instance. Pro-bation is not a punishment; it is agrace—a respite from the penalty ofexclusion from the college. A studenton probation is on trial for a term. Hehas an opportunity to show that he cando better work than he has been doing.If he succeeds during the probationaryterm in making what his Faculty con-siders satisfactory progress, then hisprobation ends automatically with theterm; if he fails, he may be retainedon probation for another term, or hemay be dropped for a term, or he maybe pernijanently excluded.

If the probationary student be one ofthe comparatively few that are engagedin "outside activities,'; then the rule ofthe University Faculty referred to aboverequires him to withdraw from all suchactivities during the probationary term.This requirement, as the University Fac-ulty views it, is for the student's own

good; he is a candidate for a degree;the University Faculty assumes that he

comes or is sent to the University pri-

marily for the purpose of doing the

work required for the earning \of the de-

gree; the University Faculty recognizes

that he must make an unusual effort,

during the probationary term, to avert

the penalty of expulsion; it rules gen-

erally, therefore, that the student on

probation shall be free to apply him-

self to his studies.

Complaint has been made that proba-tion is, in effect, discriminatory againstthe student engaged in an " activity"as contrasted with the student that mayhave been idling his time away. Stu-dents A, B, and C, let us sβty, are class-mates in the samle fraternity house. Ais a member of the football team; B isan editor of the Cornell Sun; C is anidler. Let us suppose that all three areput on probation for the first term of

'the year because of failure in their uni-versity work. As a consequence, A hasto give up his place on the varsity eleven,and B has to retire from the Sun; C, onthe contrary, has no interest or occupa-tion that is affected by his term of pro-bation. When the effect of probationupon A and B is brought thus sharplyinto contrast w th its effect upon C,then, A and B appear to have beenpenalized for choosing to be busy ratherthan idle. To the boys in the frater-nity house it seems that the Faculty, inexercising its power to stop the activi-ties of the football player and theundergraduate journalist, while doingnothing to prevent the idler from con-tinued dawdling at dances and themovies, is discriminating against "stu-dent activities.''

To that complaint the answer is thatthe college Faculty has treated the threemen exactly alike, considering only whatcomes within its purview, namely, therelation of each man to the college, nottheir differences of taste or of occupa-tion. The college Faculty has acted asa judge would act in imposing equiva-lent fines on two equally culpable mis-demeanants, whatever their compara-tive wealth at the moment.»

An additional answer to that com-plaint might be made by the Univer-sity Faculty. That Faculty might fair-ly say that if the rule discriminates itdoes so in favor of the student engagedin "outside activities.9t Those "activi-ties/' which nowadays are highly or-ganized, exert strong pressure to recruituseful men and to keep them in the or-ganization. That pressure is powerfullyreinforced by undergraduate opinionand feeling, particularly by the ambi-tion of every fraternity to have thehouse well represented on &ιe teams, onthe editorial boards, in management, etc.

C O R N E L L A L U M N I N E W S 61

Most of the men in the "outside activi-ties 7 ' are fraternity men. Anybody'that knows how things are done in fra-ternity houses knows what would hap-pen to a member who, planning to re-trieve a failure, proposed voluntarily togive up an "outside activity" in orderto study. He simply would not be al-lowed to do it. As a rule the studentwho had become involved in an ί i activ-ity" would be practically powerless, ex-cept for the University Faculty's in-tervention, to change his daily programin response to a warning from his col-

Last February one of the Facultiesput two members of the senior class onprobation who were both candidates forthe varsity nine. Each man appealed.One of them convinced the Faculty com-mittee that he had been ill at the timeof the midyear examinations; he wasrestored to good standing; he made theteam, and played 011 it throughout theseason; he failed in his work, and wasunable to get his degree. The otherman, when warned how near he was tocomplete failure, accepted probation asa safeguard; he put in a term of hardwork, and regained the ground he hadlost.

Each Faculty has its own standard bywhich the work of its students is tested.This must be so, because each collegehas its distinctive program of work. In.engineering, where the course of studyis progressive, the student must do hiswork in order or he cannot progress.To some extent the same is true of anyother professional course. In law thecurriculum permits of no permanentfailure or omission. In the College ofArts and Sciences, where the studenthas a comparatively free choice of stud-ies, the Faculty has found it necessary,if the degree of Bachelor of Arts is toretain any value at all, and if the col-lege is not to be "cumbered with sloth-ful and indifferent students," to insistthat the student do somewhat betterthan merely attain a passing grade ina required number of hours. The pres-ent requirements for the degree of A. B.have been in effect since about 1914.

It is customary, in any of the col-leges, to warn a student whose work isnot satisfactory. Such a warning maybe given at any time—either in thecourse of the term or after the resultsof term examinations are known. Ifafter a warning a student's work doesnot show improvement, he is liable tobe dropped from the college. At thispoint, however, probation offers him areprieve if he can persuade his Facultythat he can make good use of a proba-tionary term of residence. In mostcases, probably, the student 011 proba-tion is one who would have been ex-

cluded from his college by a hard-and-fast enforcement of its usual rule.

The question of probation cannot bedismissed without considering its rela-tion to the rules of eligibility for theUniversity athletic teams. The sight ofan excellent athlete in residence at theUniversity and yet ineligible for inter-collegiate competition is always painfulto a certain class of persons, and someof that class are now demanding thatthe University Faculty rescind its ruleof twenty years. The answer to thatdemand is that such a step would in-•troduce a doubt of our good faith intoall our athletic relations with our friendsamong the other universities; that sucha step would tend to degrade our teamsbelow the level of those of Princeton,Harvard, Yale, and other reputable in-stitutions which permit only students ingood scholastic standing to representthem.

Another group of critics is demand-ing that the college Faculties cease toput students on probation. Here wemust consider the college's duty to theparent. What if there be no step be-tween warning and exclusion? Howshall the college make its warning sharpand effective, short of exclusion? Andwhat if the warning be unheeded? Howmany times shall the delinquent bewarned? If the student be simply in-competent or indifferent, or if he haveneglected his proper work for motor-trips or the moviθβ, the college caneasily disclaim responsibility for hisfailure. But what if he be one of thosewhose ill success could be traced direct-ly to his absorption in a student activ-ity? What can the distant parent knowof the intensity of the competition setup by the organized student activities,or of the amount of time and energythey demand of the participant? Andwho, in loco parentis, shall insure to thepotentially good student, engaged in anactivity, the time needed to recover lostground? The college now provides thatinsurance by means of the rule of pro-bation. Can the college delegate its re-sponsibility in that respect to the Ath-letic Association or to an undergraduateboard of editors and still discharge itsduty to the parent?

The college Faculty committees treatany question of scholastic standing asan individual case. They make allow-ance for circumstances such as illness,unavoidable absence, time required bywork for a livelihood, etc. No studentneed lose his good standing withouta hearing and an opportunity for ex-planation.

I think it is safe to say that the fail-ures of men useful to the undergradu-ate organizations, year in and year out,are comparatively few. I have 110 exactknowledge on that point, but my im-

pression is that the great majority ofsuch men maintain a satisfactory stand-ing.

There remains, perhaps, a question•whether some college's definition of goodstanding is unnecessarily strict. I have-indicated the difficulty, if not the im-possibility, of uniformity among the col-leges in that respect.

Cornellians Invent Coal SaverNew Device Detects Heating in Stored

Soft Coal Before Combustion Starts

Professor Arthur W. Browne, Ph. D.'03, of the Department of Chemistry,,and Robert P. Nichols Όβ, of F. C.Thoriiley & Company, New York, haveinvented a device for registering thetemperature of stored soft coal. Thenew device is called a coalometer, andis being marketed by Mr. Nichols'scompany. It is designed to detect thealmost universal slow combustion whicliexists in stored bituminous coal. Thisslow combustion is said to be even moredestructive than combustion by flame inthe pile because it cannot be readilydetected.

The coalometer effects its saving byindicating the parts of coal piles whichbecome even slightly heated, thus-enabling the owner to use that partbefore combustion actually takes place.The Iron Age describes the new deviceas follows:

The instrument consists of a set of tem-perature indicators incased in a long pointedsteel tube, carrying at varying depths metalbulbs, corresponding to the bulbs of ther-mometers, and at its upper end a set ofdials and pointers, which indicate the tem-perature of the bulbs which actuate them.These units are forced down into the coalpile to definite depths, and at various points,and collectively furnish definite data as tothe exact temperatures existing beneath thesurface. If an accurate record of these in-struments be kept, periodically, the rise intemperature is at once detected, and shouldit become excessive this particular portionof fuel can be removed at once, thus tosave the heating value of the coal.

An installation of one unit each fifty feetin both directions from its neighbor, it isexplained, will efficiently indicate conditionsof temperature below the surface. Thus the-installation of one triple unit will protectapproximately nine hundred tons of coal ifthe volume is about 50x50x16 feet.

With each installation is furnished a.leather-bound loose-leaf record book, eachpage of which covers a daily reading of theindicated temperatures of each coalometer.

Lemuel L. Joshi '07

Dr. John R. Mott '88 has recently re-•ceived a letter from Bethuel L. Joshi

711, senior professor of English litera-ture at Baroda College, Baroda, India,.announcing the death of his brother,Dr. Lemuel Lucas Joshi '07. The letteris dated September 10, and reads asf ollows:

e l You will 110 doubt be surprised andgrieved to learn that my dear brotherLemuel passed away to his rest on the28th ultimo at Nasik, our ancestralhome, in the same room where he wasborn thirty-nine years ago. It is need-less to say that this event has plungedour whole family into great grief. Hewas a true-hearted Christian who al-ways stood for the right amid the con-flicts of our earthly life. As chemicalanalyst to the Bombay Municipal Cor-poration he had often to deal with thebacilli of various diseases and it isfeared that he caught some infectionwhile doing his scientific work in thelaboratory. He published some timeago an important book entitled (TheMilk Problem of Indian Cities7 andwas actively associated with manyorganizations for the civic and spiritualbetterment of the people of Bombay.His sudden death is a great loss to theIndian Christian community. He leavesbehind him a widow and a daughterfive years old. While we naturallymourn his loss, we thank God for hisnoble Christian life and request you topray for us that his departure from thislife may prove to be a trumpet call tous to a fresh consecration of our livesin the service of our God, our Christ,and our country.7 7

Joshi was a son of the Eeverend andMrs. David Lucas Joshi of Bombay. Hewas graduated from the University ofBombay in 1902 with the degree of13. Sc., and entered Cornell in 1903, inthe course in medicine, receiving the-degree of M. D. in 1907.

THE TINKHAM MEMORIAL

A memorial to the soldiers of theUnited States,, England, France, andItaly was unveiled on October 3 on thelawn of the residence of Julian R.'Tinkham, 509 Park Street, Upper Mont-clair, N. J., in honor of his son, EdwardIlsley Tinkham '16, who died atEavenna, Italy, on March 30, 1919,, ofspinal meningitis ami pneumonia.

The memorial, the work of A. Sterling*Calder, spulptor, typifies 'an Allied sol-dier holding aloft a large bowl bearingthe inscription "The League of Na-tions.77 In the group of figures Amer-

ica is represented by an aviator, Eng-land by a sailor, and France and Italyby soldiers. Water overflows the bowland falls about five feet into an octagon-shaped brick pool nine by eight feet. Acurb surrounds the pool, the coping ofwhich consists of eight marble stones.

Tinkham went to France in February,1916, as a volunteer in the AmericanField Service, and was decorated withthe Croix de Guerre for extraordinaryheroism in action at Verdun. At theend of his six months7 term he returnedto this country and organized the Cor-nell Unit of the American Field Service,going back to France in April, 1917.On its arrival in France, the unit trans-ferred to the American Motor TransportUnit, and Tinkham, with the rank ofcaptain, was placed in command. Thisunit was the first American fighting unitto carry the Stars and Stripes to tli3front. Tinkham transferred to theNaval Aviation Service in October, 1917,and at the time of his death held thecommission of night ensign.

NOVELTIES AT SCHOELLKOPF

Not only has Cornell a new footballcoach this year, but innovations ofother kinds are putting in appearanceon Schoellkopf Field. To facilitateafternoon practice the Athletic Associa-tion has installed a series of ten hugeflood-lights, five on each side of thefield. The lights are so arranged onpoles that the whole field is illuminatedbut there is no direct glare on theplayers. The lights have been in usesince the first week in October, andhave made practice possible late in theevening. For members of the team whohave afternoon classes, this means thatthey may still have a workout after fiveo 7clock.

Another innovation is the reportingof the Cornell-Union game by wirelesson October 16. The Cornell R. O. T. C.Signal Corps furnished an operator onthe field, who reported the game playby play by wireless telephone to Pro-fessor W. C. Ballard in Franklin Hall,who relayed the messages to Schenec-tady by wireless telegraph. Members ofthe Union College Radio Club receivedthe reports in Schenectady. This is saidto be the first time in the history ofAmerican sport that a football contesthas been reported from one city to an-other by wireless telephony and teleg-raphy combined.

This year also, programs are beingprinted for every game instead of onlyfor the more important ones, as hasbeen the custom in the past. They areattractively arranged and contain, be-sides the line-ups and place for the score,a page of terse comment on athleticsand other subjects of interest to Cor-

A CITY FOREST is proposed for Ithaca.Persons interested suggest the purchaseof a tract of about 1,600 acres extend-ing south of Buttermilk Falls along theLehigh Valley Railroad. Once wellforested, this area, in the opinion of theprojectors, would in time—in approxi-mately half a century it would be paidfor in full—yield a revenue from thesale of forest products; meanwhile itwould add protection to the city watersupply, would afford camping places inthe summer, and would under properregulation be a preserve for small game.

Making Nitroglycerin*in a Hercules Plant

The man who makes nitroglycerin in a HerculesPlant is the personification of concentration. Norailroad engineer pays closer attention to hissemaphore signals than does he to the thermo-meter of the nitrating tank. From the momentwhen he begins to feed glycerin into the acidin, the tank until the operation is complete thethermometer, is his guide.

It is important that the temperature of the mixture in the tankbe kept uniform. If glycerin is added too rapidly thetemperature rises, if too slowly is falls. So with eye onthermometer and hand on valve controlling the glycerinflow the Hercules "N. G." maker follows the processminute by minute until its completion.

To just such watchful care as this is the uniform high qualityof Hercules Explosives largely due. The men who work inthe twelve Hercules plants realize the importance of the greattasks performed by Hercules Explosives. As a result, wher-ever these explosives are used—in the building of railroads orhighways, in the mining of metals and minerals, to increase thecrops on a farm or dig the foundation for a city hotel—their•giant power is never found lacking.

Hercules Explosives are always dependable—unifβrm in quatity, high in power.

A college man analyzedhis class

to see how many could afford to subscribe to the Alumni Endowment Fund

ARADUATE of one of theforemost colleges was askedto conduct the alumni en-

dowment campaign among the mem-bers of his class. He made an analysisof the ninety-six members, accord-ing to his estimate of their financialresources, dividing them into threegroups.

In the first group he included thoseto whom a gift of $300 would beimpossible; forty men made upthis group.

The second group includedthose to whom $300 wouldrepresent a maximum gift; therewere thirty-seven men in thisgroup. The third group includedthose who could give more than$300; there were nineteen menin this group.

Why some college men earnso much more than others

The members of that class havebeen out of college more than twentyyears; they are an average lot of hard-working, capable men.

Yet less than a third of the whoie num-ber are earning more than a mere living.What is the explanation ?

Among these men, of course, are a goodmany teachers and ministers. Salary intheir case, is no criterion of success.

But with the men in business, and inmost of the professions, income is onebasis of measurement. And if you willanalyze this class — or any other—youwill find this striking fact:

That the great majority have becomesettled in departmental places, while onlyone man here and there has gained theall-round knowledge of all departments ofmodern business that fits him to dischargehigh executive responsibility, or to engagein business on his own account.

An institution for roundingout men

The Alexander Hamilton Institute wascalled into being to meet a definite need.

A group oί educators and business leadershad been impressed with the fact thatmodern business develops specialists butdoes not train executives.

They determined to provide a Courseand Service which would enable a man toadd to his equipment a working knowledgeof the departments of business outside his

S.Steel Corporation 545 Alexander Hamil-ton Institute men are at work; in theGeneral Motors Corporation 335 men areto be found; in the Goodyear RubberCompany 319; in the Standard Oil Com-pany 801. There is no great industry inthe country which does not have some-where among its executives, large or small,men who have profited by the Modern.Business Course and Service.

To give the salesman, tor example,a working knowledge of accounting andoffice management; to give the inside mana working knowledge of sales, merchandisingadvertising, corporation finance, etc.—inother words, an institution, whose businessshould be to round out men into full busi-ness leadership.

In the succeeding years thousands of men,representing every kind of business andevery department in business have enrolledin the Alexander Hamilton Institute, andhave proved by their own experience itspower to shorten the path to success.

No similar educational institution hasever received such high indorsement at thehands of educational authorities. In forty-ίour leading universities and colleges, thebooks of the Institute are used as texts.

The Alexander Hamilton Insti-tute does not base its claim for con-sideration upon its power to increasemen's incomes. Increased incomeand power follow naturally increasedknowledge.

Modern Motive Might

MOUNTAINS, miles and minutes giveway before electricity, the magic motive

power. Properly applied, it drives giant loco-motives across the continental divide, towsocean liners through the Panama Canal, orpropels huge ships.

Through good light, safe signals, and illumi-nated highways, it is making travel better andsafer and also is increasing the usefulness oftransportation methods on land, sea or in the air.

In short, electricity is revolutionizing trans-portation, making it quicker, safer, more eco-nomical and reliable in all sorts of weather.And back of this development in electric trans-portation, in generating and transmitting ap-paratus as well as motive mechanisms, are theco-ordinated scientific, engineering and manu-facturing resources of the General ElectricCompany, working to the endthat electricity may bet-ter serve mankind*
