has been announced; it will nodoubt be found on one of the other

pages of this informative and inspira-tional journal. Its publication has beengreeted with general approval, though onenotes symptoms of what is known Jocallyas the Annual Schedule Gripe. The gameswith Princeton, Columbia, Dartmouth,and Pennsylvania suggest that the seasonwill be stiffer than for many years past.Novelty is provided by the games withClarkson Tech and Richmond. The Cor-nell team is not disposed to underrate suchantagonists. It remembers the fiercebattles with Geneva and Michigan Statethis year. Cornell is relatively big, but sowas Goliath in his time.

As THESE LINES are being typed, longspecial trains are escaping from Ithaca inall directions, as from Paris when theGermans crossed the Marne. The double-headers sweating up the Lehigh towardWillow Creek and Taughannock whistle infalsetto derision at the Lackawannaspecials going backward up the South Hillswitch-back. These are real HolidayTrains; and those travelers and traincrews who are irritatated by Christmascheerfulness are well advised to wait andtake the regular trains.

IN KESPONSE to a student petition, theFaculty advanced the date of the Christ-mas recess from December 22 to December18. The student body, immediately catch-ing the idea, advanced.the date to the17th, the 16th, and in some cases the n t h .

THE EDITOR of the exchange column ofthe Sun, who is to be congratulated for theilluminating and amusing items he con-trives to find, quotes the results of aquestionnaire of one hundred co-eds at theUniversity of Ohio. To the request for thereason why they had come to college thefollowing answers were received: 26, toenlarge their circle of acquaintances andfriends; 22, to have a good time; 15, toescape the home town in the wintermonths. 12, "tired of boarding school"; 8,"to get collegiate"; 5, to belong to asorority; 4, to learn the Charleston, and 3,to teach it; 2, to have a last fling beforemarrying; 1, to escape work; 1, to guardher "prospective."

A FEDERAL Prohibition agent madethree successful raids for violation of theVolstead Act in Ithaca. He discovered asmall quantity of colored distilled spiritsin a rear room of the Lehigh Valley House,three ounces of colored distilled spirits inthe grocery store of Elvira Yengo, andtwelve ounces of colored distilled liquor inthe possession of a quiet private resident.

Six individuals were held in bail. It isa triumph that these eighteen ounces ofcolored distilled liquor, which have longeluded them, are safely locked in the policevaults. The Prohibition authorities an-nounce that they "are determined tostamp out illicit traffic in liquor, especiallyto Cornell students, and to uncover andrun down the sources of supply." Persis-tent rumor reports that more colored dis-tilled liquor, amounting perhaps to severalounces, has as yet been unapprehended.

THE AMERICAN LEGION has awarded a

prize of $500 to C. L. Andrews '30 ofBerkshire, N. Y., for an essay written byhim in a national contest recently con-ducted in high schools by the Legion.Andrews submitted his essay last springwhen he was a student at the BerkshireHigh School. It was in the form of a creedand contained less than fifty words. Thegeneral subject of the essays was theAmerican flag.

SEAL AND SERPENT is getting itself anew house. It will be located at ThurstonAvenue and Roberts Place, and construc-tion has already started.

THE DRAMATIC CLUB brought the

medieval atmosphere of Christmas toWillard Straight Hall three evenings oflast week when they presented threescenes from the Chester Mysteries. Thescenes were as effective and artistic asaudiences have come to expect theDramatic Club offerings to be, the light-ing being especially well done. Thesettings were designed by Thaddeus Hurd'27 from plans made by Professor Drum-mond. Between the acts and at intervalsduring the plays, a choir directed by Pro-fessor Harold D. Smith sang stanzas frommedieval songs.

DR. ERNST JAECKH, founder and presi-dent of the School of Politics in Berlin, ina lecture given last week on "New Europe"characterized the Dawes Plan as the firstturn to the right in the improvement of thepolitical situation in chaotic Europe. TheLocarno Treaty he cited as the secondgreat step.

THE INITIATION banquet of Phi KappaPhi was held in Prudence Risley Hall onDecember 14. Professor Melvin L.Nichols' 18 was toastmaster, and PresidentFarrand and Professor Fred A. Barnes Ί 7 ,president of the Cornell Chapter, were theprincipal speakers. Miss Helen Haskell'27 of Malone spoke for the initiates. Atthe banquet the other honorary societieswere represented by Professor Roswell C.Gibbs '06 for Phi Beta Kappa, Fred R.Dorner '25 for Tau Beta Pi, and ProfessorLewis Knudson Ί 1 for Sigma Xi.

SEVENTY-FIVE foreign students wereentertained at a Christmas party in BarnesHall on the Tuesday evening before vaca-tion, under the auspices of the C. U. C. A.and the Y. W. C. A.

AN ENGLISH bulldog, resident of Ithaca,apparently read some of the suggestionsgiven out by the Home Economics ex-perts as to the value of roughage in thediet. He took it seriously, and swallowed atwelve-inch bottle brush. He began to feelrather ill, and consulted Dr. Howard J.Milks '04, who advised an immediateoperation. After^employing his knives, Dr.Milks found the brush lodged in the dog'sstomach and the handle stuck in histhroat. The operation w is successful andthe next day the animal was happily atplay again.

Interfraternity Conference

Cornellians Prominent at Annual Meeting—Importance of Scholarshp Recognized

—Greater Simplicity Favored

The eighteenth annual session of theInterfraternity Conference was held inNew York on November 26 and 27.Among the new officers are Harold Riegel-man '13, of Zeta Beta Tau who waselected vice-chairman of the conference,and Peter Vischer '19 of Phi GammaDelta who was elected to the executivecommittee.

All sections of the country were repre-sented, the total attendance of 272 beingcomposed of 165 delegates and fifty-sevenrepresentatives of undergraduate fraterni-ties, and fifty educators and visitors.

The Committee on Scholarship, headedby Alvan E. Duerr, made one of the im-portant contributions to the conference.In part Mr. Duerr said:

"Fraternity men are in theory high-minded and serious-purposed; they are notmerely aggregations of congenial andsocially-minded men. Nor are our idealspurely social.

"What we need is not regulations, oreven recommendations, but a betterunderstanding of the purposes of a collegeeducation. If we admit that classroomwork has any legitimate part in thescheme, then let us do the job as thoughwe meant it. Let us create such a spirit inour chapters and our fraternities that themental drone cannot survive, that everyman will count it a test of his loyalty tohis chapter to perform every task as wellas he has it in him to do. Let us prove tothe world at large that when college trainedmen are needed in any emergency, thebest will be found in the ranks of ourfraternities."

Committee Reports

The Committee on Regional Organiza-tion reported considerable progress in itspurpose of forming regional committeeswhich shall promote harmony and co-operation among the fraternities in theirregion, and shall deal with local matters.

The Committee on Extension reportedthat most important of all was the repealof anti-fraternity legislation in Mississippi.Also, that although there had been nohostile legislation in any State last year,as long as horseplay remains there will bean incentive for such legislation.

Colonel Alexander A. Sharp, in his dis-cussion on deferred rushing and initiation,thought that all would agree with himthat no one should be pledged until he hasregistered or matriculated. However, hesaw no reason why rushing or pledgingshould be deferred, for until the fraternityquestion is settled, neither freshmen norupper-classmen would find it possible tosettle down to work. "If we would fulfillour mission and train our freshmen," hesaid, "we must get them as early as pos-

sible, get them before they have begun tofall behind in their work, and get themstarted right."

Reports were submitted for the Com-mittee on Chapter House Architecture byOswald C. Hering, and on Chapter Financesby William L. Phillips. Mr. Phillipsfavored leaving all possible management offinances in the hands of the undergradu-ates.

Clifford M. Swan, for the Committee onUndergraduate Ideals, said at the outsetthat he did not consider it the duty of hiscommittee to act as a spiritual guide toundergraduates, but rather to bring be-fore them something of the bigger andbroader aspects of "fraternity." For thishe made two concrete suggestions: thatthe fraternity magazines publish articlesby able and sympathetic men on theopportunities and meaning of friendshipand on the fostering of ideals; and thatvisitation officers be urged to stress thisfeature of fraternity opportunity.

Dr. William Mather Lewis, president ofGeorge Washington University, spoke onthe need for greater simplicity in thesocial affairs of fraternities, saying " Ithink one of the social problems of afraternity is that while it is a wonderfulthing to be a member, it is a tragedy forthe boy who is not in one. That activechapter is on the road to weakness wherethe men who represent it vote for theirown men for positions of honor, ratherthan for the best man to fill the position."

Adopt Fifty-fifty Plan

Ό2 Will Run Its Twenty-five-year Re-union Next June on Same Basis

as '16 Did Last Spring

SPORT STUFF

An examination of the record disclosesthat it is in the latter part of Novemberand the first half of December that one be-comes most concerned over the emotional-ism of alumni, the ruthlessness of under-graduates and the bandar-logic of facultyadministration.

In this climate golf stops in Novemberand skating does not start until well intoDecember.

Skating has now begun—three hours onSaturday afternoon; four on Sunday—andI defy all three Estates to do anythingthat could make me mad.

All of which indicates that one's philoso-phy of life is determined more by condi-tions below the neck than above and thatmost of the problems of the world—peace,rates of exchange, gin-toting, overem-phasis of football, disarmment, and thehigh visibility of petting—could be solvedquickly if you could only get more peopleto skate regularly.

Encouraged by the'great success of theClass of '16 last spring, when it introducedto Cornell the Fifty-Fifty Plan thatmakes "Every point in the United Statesequidistant from Ithaca," the class of Ό2will run its twenty-five-year reunion on thesame basis.

At a meeting of the Class held at theCornell Club of New York on December14, it was decided to adopt a plan on thesame basis as that followed by '16. Thescheme contemplates a single fifty-dollartax for every member, which includestransportation to and from Ithaca and allexpenses at the reunion.

A general reunion committee was ap-pointed by the president, Ralph S. Kent,consisting of William J. Norton, chairman,Arthur F. Brinckerhoff, William C. Geer,Charles A. Taussig, and Charles S.Yawger.

Starting on Monday, January 10, thisgeneral reunion committee will meet forluncheon at the Cornell Club of NewYork at 12:30 on the second and fourthMonday of each month. The club is at 245Madison Avenue on the southeast cornerof Thirty-eighth Street. All '02 men areinvited to attend these meetings.

TWENTY MEMBERS of the track squadgave Coach John F. Moakley a surprisebirthday party at his home, on December13. The runners presented their coachwith a Corona typewriter.

Ί2s FIRST CALLThe first issue of Volume XV of The

On-To-Hhaca Gazette, the official publica-tion of the Class of 1912, appeared Mon-day. The main feature of the number is aneditorial by Walter R. Kuhn '12, generalchairman of the reunion committee en-titled "Bak-Tu-Ithaca." Kuhn sounds amost optimistic note. He is confidentthat the 15-year reunion of his class willbreak all previous records.

The remainder of the Gazette was pre-pared by the secretary, Ross W. Kellogg; i2 of Ithaca. Reference is made in thelead story on page one and in an editorial,to the responsibility which the Class of1912 has in June as host to all other re-union classes. It is promised that the 1927rally^will be "different."

An unusual feature of the Gazette is thepublication on the back page of the namesand addresses of one hundred members ofthe class. It is announced that this listwill be continued in future issues until thenames and addresses of all of the 1200members of the class have been printed.

Life Secretary Kellogg holds forth onpage three as announcer of Station WBCwhich is said to stand for "World's BestClass." The Gazette will be issued "fort-nightly or monthly from now until thereunion."

THE FRESHMAN representative on theStudent Council, elected by ballot lastweek, is Charles E. Treman, Jr., of Ithaca.

Noted English Scientist to Lecture

Dr. Archibald Vivian Hill of University of London to Give Non-residentChemistry Series in Second Term—Athletes Experimental

Subjects in Studies of Muscular Contraction

Dr. Archibald Vivian Hill, F. R. S.,Foulerton Research Professor of Phy-siology in the University of London, andNobel Prizeman in medicine, will fill theGeorge Fisher Baker non-resident lecture-ship in chemistry in Cornell Universitythroughout the second semester of thisacademic year, from February to June.

Professor Hill has made importantstudies of the chemistry and mechanism ofmuscular contraction, using athletes asexperimental subjects, and he plans todevelop these studies still further while heis at Cornell. The Athletic Associationhas offered to give him all possible aid.

He is eminent not only in physiologybut also in mathematics, physics, andphysical chemistry. He has brought thesespecial endowments to bear upon thesolution of physiological problems and hisinvestigations in this field have been ofgreat importance.

The Royal Society established theFoulerton Research Professorship in Phy-siology in London in 1924 and ProfessorHill is the first incumbent. Sir CharlesSherrington, president of the RoyalSociety, in the inaugural address a yearago, said of Professor Hill:

"He has placed the knowledge of mus-cular contraction—if he will allow me thatcustomary phrase, to which I believe he ispurist enough to entertain some objection?—upon a new footing. Taking up theproblem from the viewpoint which chemi-cal researches had at that time reached,Hill, by his own experiments and ex-periments in conjunction with his pupilsand others, has carried its study muchfurther, especially in its physical aspects.The technique devised and the lines ofanalysis pursued have been masterly. Hehas attained preciser measurements, bothof energy changes and of their time rela-tions and of the mechanical work realiz-able.

Important Findings

"Examining under various conditionsthe several ratios existing between thesequantities, he has thrown fresh light uponthe intimate mechanism of muscle. Notalways has it been entirely welcome newsthat Professor Hill has brought us aboutour muscles; we learn from him that theyare sadly viscous machinery, but to thathe reconciles us by pointing out compensa-tory advantages arising from that prop-erty.

" I t is abundantly clear that the morethe opportunity he has of prosecuting hisinquiries, the more shall we and the worldlearn of the capacity and intricacies ofbodily function. Deeper acquaintancewith the principles underlying that func-tion should enable better advantage to be

taken of it. Some of Professor Hill's re-sults already touch practical issues of thatkind. He is determining decisive factorsconcerned in the performance and main-tenance of physical effort, and is tracingphysiological characteristics underlyingthe skill and endurance of the athlete.

"Such researches promise further in-formation of value in regard to themanagement of muscular effort and itsapplication on a wholesale scale to in-dustrial labor. They also promise furtherinsight into what may be termed manualskill. Professor Hill's researches concern,therefore, questions of large practical aswell as of theoretical importance. May histenure of the Foulerton Research Profes-sorship provide him with the amplestopportunity for cultivating the fertile fieldwhich has already conspicuously prosperedunder his able hands."

In 1907 Fletcher and Hopkins noticedthat if a frog's muscle were stimulated inan atmosphere of hydrogen, lactic acidaccumulated in the muscle and it soon be-came fatigued, whereas if oxygen were ad-mitted the muscle again freely contractedand an oxidative disappearance of lacticacid resulted. Hill was led to investigatethe quantitative relations between theheat produced and the formation of lacticacid in the contracting muscle.

Sport and Peace

In cooperation with Meyerhof, Hillworked out the finer details of the processof muscular contraction. He extended hisinvestigations with normal men andathletes as his experimental subjects, andin an address upon "The PhysiologicalBasis of Athletic Records" he said:

"The practice of athletics is both ascience and an art, and just as art andscience are the most potent ties tending todraw men together in a world of industrialcompetition, so sport and athletics, byurging men to friendly rivalry, may helpto avert the bitterness resulting from lesspeaceful struggles. If, therefore, physiol-ogy can aid in the development of athleticsas a science and an art, I think it will de-serve well of mankind. As in all thesethings, however, the reward will bereciprocal. Obviously in the data ofathletic records we have a store of in-formation available for physiological study.

"Apart from its usefulness, however, Iwould urge that the study is amusing.Most people are interested, at any rate inEngland and America, in some type ofsport. If they can be made to find it moreinteresting, as I have found it, by ascientific contemplation of the thingswhich every sportsman knows, then thatextra interest is its own defense."

At the age of forty, Professor Hill is oneof the youngest of the Fellows of the RoyalSociety, to which he was elected in 1918.His wife is a sister of John MaynardKeynes, author of "The Economic Con-sequences of the Peace." He was educatedat Trinity College, Cambridge, and aftergraduating with honors and several prizeshe was a fellow of that college for severalyears and then a fellow of King's College,Cambridge, and university lecturer inphysical chemistry. He held a professor-ship in the University of Manchester forfour years until 1923, when he acceptedthe Jodrell professorship of physiology inUniversity College, London. The NobelPrize in medicine was awarded to him in1922.

The non-resident lectureship in chem-istry at Cornell was founded and endowedlast year by George F. Baker of NewYork. Previous incumbents of the chairhave been Professor Ernst Cohen of theUniversity of Utrecht and Professor FritzPaneth of the University of Berlin, who islecturing here this term.

Alumni Corporations Directors' Report

Greatest Service Performed by Clubs Which Have Definite Programs—Suggests Uniform Type of Name—Want Further Study

of Philosophy of Conventions

The report of the Board of Directors ofthe Cornell Alumni Corporation wasadopted at the seventh annual conventionheld in Philadelphia, November 26. Itfollows:

"Since its election a year ago, at theConvention in Detroit, your Board hasheld four meetings: the "organization meet-ing in Detroit, when officers and directors-at-large were elected, in New York onDecember 12, in Ithaca on June 12, and inPhiladelphia on November 24.

"When the Corporation was organizedfour years ago it was designed to retainthe best features of the old AssociateAlumni, which had been the generalalumni association for more than fiftyyears, at the same time that it placedgreater emphasis on those groups ofalumni all over the world who are bandedtogether to form the local clubs. TheAssociated Harvard Clubs, a relativelysuccessful organization, was taken to somedegree as a model, except that it was feltthat the interests of the individual whocannot be reached by any club, thealumnus at the crossroads, should berecognized and safeguarded. At the sametime it was realized then as it is now thatthe stronger single unit among Cornellalumni, stronger than the class or any otherentity, is the local club.

"Your directors have concentratedmuch of their attention on the clubs.Emphasis has been placed on strengthen-ing the existing groups even more than onthe development of a greater number ofmere paper organizations, which functionin name only. There are still too many ofthe Cornell clubs, including some whichhave seen better days, which do little morethan elect officers once each year.

" I t is the belief of your directors thatthe Cornell clubs were never stronger thanthey are today; that there are fewer clubsfunctioning in a merely perfunctorymanner; that a greater number than everare realizing their responsibilities as out-posts of Cornell University; representative,in their respective sections of the countryand of the world, of the best interests ofthe University and to a large degreeresponsible for the reputation of Cornell intheir communities.

Definite Programs Needed

The greatest services are performed bythose clubs which have definite programsof accomplishment. This is particularlytrue if the program may include a realiza-tion of the fact that a club can make nofiner contribution to Cornell than by anactive participation in the larger civicand educational affairs of the community.Notable among such examples have beenthe position of leadership taken by the

Cornell Club of Rochester, when it as-sumed a major responsibility in the endow-ment campaign of the University ofRochester, and by the Cornell Club ofCleveland in its announced determinationthis year to secure one thousand ad-ditional members for the Citizens' League.

"Your Board has appropriated funds forthe publication of a pamphlet that willpresent to the local clubs some of the bestmethods for successful administration.

"Many of your directors have been inclose contact with the constituent clubs intheir districts. Particularly active hasbeen your president, who this fall re-peated his contribution of a year ago anddevoted two weeks to a tour on which hevisited many of the clubs of New YorkState. His trip a year ago was through theMiddle West.

Your Board believes that there still re-mains an element of no little confusion inthe varying type of names of Cornell clubs.Several of the clubs have changed the formof their names during the past year,following the recommendation at the Con-vention a year ago. We urge that so far aspracticable all of the local clubs be knownas 'Cornell Club of ' a n d 'CornellWomen's Club of '. We wouldeliminate such terms as 'association' or'society.'

"Your Board is hoping to crystallize atthis Convention the conviction so oftenexpressed by alumni that a greater num-ber of candidates should each year be inthe field for election as Alumni Trustees.As is well known, custom which almostamounts to a fixed rule has resulted inthree candidates running for the twoplaces. It is obvious that there should bemore than twice as many candidates asthere are places to fill. Your Board hasappointed a special committee, withDirector Andrew J. Whinery Ί o as chair-man, to consider ways and means ofremedying this condition. That commit-tee will report at this convention.

Should Study Conventions

"At this, the seventh of the annualalumni conventions, it is the belief of yourBoard that serious consideration should begiven to the whole philosophy of conven-tions. It has been generally voted that asa result of the meetings already held inCleveland, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Buffalo,New York, and Detroit, the conventionidea has vindicated itself, that these an-nual gatherings have served to prove thewisdom and the helpfulness of bringing to-gether representative alumni at points out-side of Ithaca to discuss problems offundamental interest to the University.

"But it is our belief that at this time weshould consider the question as to whether

conventions should be held annually, orless frequently, and also whether it is de-sirable on occasion to hold conventions inIthaca. We recommend that the presi-dent be instructed to appoint a committeewhich will study the subject and report atthe first opportunity.

"In conclusion we would state our con-viction that compared with other uni-versities, Cornell is blessed with an activeinterest and an enlightened consciousnesson the part of her alumni that is equaledby few other institutions in the country.We are confident that the activities of theCornell Alumni Corporation, in its briefexistence, have done much to further thissituation. It must be ever borne in mind,however, in a survey of the Cornell field,that the development of our alumni is notcentered in one general alumni association,as is the case at many colleges, but thatCornell has several agencies, each distinctfrom the other, working side by side forthe same goal. Among these are theCornellian Council, the Cornell Associa-tion of Class Secretaries, THE CORNELLALUMNI NEWS, and the office of the AlumniRepresentative. Whether it is necessaryor desirable that one body—the CornellAlumni Corporation—should eventuallyassume the functions of any or all of theseagencies, it is impossible to forecast."

Memorial Fund Grows

Gift of $5,000 in Memory of Lieut. WilliamMuir Russel '17 Becomes Available—

Over $100,000 in Sight

A gift of $5,000 was made to the Uni-versity some time ago by the late HenryRussel in memory of his son, Lieut.William Muir Russel '17. This fund hasjust become available for the Cornell WarMemorial fund.

William Muir Russel was a first lieu-tenant in the Air Service and was killed inaction on August 14, 1918. He preparedfor college at the Hill School, Pottstown,Pa., and entered Cornell in 1913 in thecourse of Arts and Sciences, graduating in1917. He was a member of Kappa Alpha,Majura, the Sunday Night Club, and theHill School Club. He received his pre-liminary military training in Chicago andreceived his commission as first lieutenantin the Aviation Section, Signal Corps, inthe summer of 1917, sailing for Franceabout the middle of October. He wastwenty-four years old. His father, the lateHenry Russel, the donor of the gift, wasfor many years a resident of Detroit. l Hewas vice-president and general counsel ofthe Michigan Central Railroad.

Including this gift, the Cornell WarMemorial fund now totals well over $100,-000. This is especially encouraging whenit is remembered that the Committee hasbeen actively at work soliciting funds foronly a few weeks. The total sum to beraised is $250,000.

STUDENT ALUMNI COMITY

THE Cornell Club of Cleveland, al-ways progressive, is utilizing the

undergraduate's holidays to build upfriendships between students, parents, andalumni. Parties like that announced in thecalendar for December 30 should eventu-ally produce alumni for Cleveland who arefull-fledged upon graduation, and fatherswho, whether alumni or not, believe inCornell.

The line between student and alumnusis an artificial one. It is overemphasizedalike by the student and the alumnus.Here today, gone tomorrow, the under-graduate becomes an alumnus with be-wildering speed. One readily sees, how-ever, that the process of learning to be analumnus is essentially that of becomingacquainted with one's fellow alumni.

If the Father-Son Luncheon idea couldspread to all Cornell clubs, a much strongerand more productive alumni body wouldinevitably result.

NEW CORNELL PICTURES

An unusual group of skillfully executedpictures are being exhibited at the Co-op.They were taken and printed by a seniorin the Arts College, Miss Margaret B.White of Cleveland Heights, who is nowhaving her first year at Cornell.

Before making the pictures, she studiesfor a long time the "mood" which best fitsher subject. The picture of Willard StraightHall, shown elsewhere in this number, wastaken in brilliant sunlight. The statue ofAndrew D. White was taken on a day offine mist.

In developing the negatives she experi-ments with different diffusions of light un-

til she achieves the desired result, such asthe etching effect in that of WillardStraight. She has suggested a Japaneseprint in her picture of the Library Tower.Another of her most interesting and artisticpictures is that of Triphammer Falls takenby moonlight.

Upon graduation Miss White plans touse her photographic skill in natural his-tory work, giving young children an in-teresting and scientific approach to thestudy of animals. She was formerly a stu-dent at the University of Michigan, andhas also studied design under Arthur W.Dow and Grace Cornell at the College ofFine Arts in Columbia University, and atthe Clarence H. White School of Photog-raphy in New York. At Cornell she isshowing her wide range of interest bymajoring in philosophy.

ATHLETICS

Schedules Given OutSchedules in several sports have re-

cently been given out by the Athletic As-sociation. The football list for 1927 givesCornell four major games, Princeton,Columbia, Dartmouth, and Pennsylvania.The Princeton game, as already noted, isset for October 22 and will be played atPrinceton. Dartmouth and Pennsylvaniaare also played on their own gridirons;Columbia is coming to Ithaca.

Williams, long a welcome early seasonopponent, is not on next year's list, de-clining a game because of a recent agree-ment among New England colleges modi-fying their schedules. Clarkson Techgets the opening date, played by Genevalast year. Niagara, as usual, will play thesecond game and for the date usuallyplayed by Williams the University ofRichmond is substituted. The open datefalls a week earlier than usual, coming nextfall on October 17.

There are few changes of note in thebasketball and baseball schedules. Ford-ham and Boston College are new teams onthe basketball list. The indoor trackschedule brings Yale to Ithaca again. Theschedules follow:

"From Turret to Foundation Stone"Complete design and constructionof all types of structures are in-cluded in the service offered by TheFoundation Company. Efficient pro-duction in industry is dependentupon scientific design of plant;—and initial cost of plant is depend-ent upon economical, rapid andskillful construction.

Modern factory buildings must containevery facility to meet the demand for ef-fective mechanical operation, and for con-sideration of the human operator. The millbuilt for Courtaulds, Limited, at Cornwall,Canada, s ia model of such factory con-struction.

The construction of the locomotive erect-ing shops of the Southern Railway at At-lanta, Georgia, is a notable example ofcomplete service rendered by engineeringcontractor, working in full cooperation,in both design and construction, with theengineers of the railway company.

Often considerations of location determinea site where construction of the foundationsis rendered unusually difficult. The NewYork Telephone Building, of which MarcEidlitz & Son, Inc. were General Contrac-tors, was placed where the Hudson Riverused to flow; yet modern methods permittedThe Foundation Company to construct thesubstructure reaching to rock five storiesbelow surface level.

These are but a few of the types ofprojects constructed by this organi-zation.

trip, which opened Wednesday withColgate at Hamilton, and also includesgames with Ohio State -at Columbus,Wittenberg at Springfield, Ohio, andBuffalo and Rochester, before the squadreturns to Ithaca.

The team this year will bear littleresemblance to that of last winter. Of thatoutfit, Frank D. Rossomondo, Merrill S.Dake, John P. Moynihan and George D.Clucas graduated last June. Theodore

Schlossbach, who played guard and for-ward part of the time last year is available,and so is Thomas C. Deveau, on thevarsity occasionally last year and in 1924-1925. Ignacio S. Molinet, who played for-ward and guard occasionally two yearsago, will report for the team after theholidays, and his great strength ought togive him a good chance.

Other experienced men are Arthur M.Winkler, member of the team two yearsago; and Harry B. Weber and Lyman D.Hall, substitutes last year.

New men who have landed are Edwin A.Cobb, center on the freshman team lastyear, and a substitute guard on the foot-ball team; Alan A. Merine, Donald F.Layton, Charles S. Caldwell and SidneyBeck, the latter quarterback on the varsityeleven in the Pennsylvania game.

Winkler and Cobb are favored forcenter; Winkler, Hall, Weber and Merineforwards; Schlossbach, Beck,, Deveauguards. All of the squad however willhave a try-out before the regular seasonbegins.

A Vermont MaidMartha the Seventh. By Jane Abbott '03.

With Three Illustrations by Ralph PallenColeman. Philadelphia. J. B. Lippincott& Co. 1926. 19.7 cm., pp. 288. Price,

$1-75-

Mrs. Abbott has produced another goodstory for girls. The scene is laid on a Ver-mont farm. Martha is the seventh child ofa seventh child; local superstition there-fore ascribes special powers to her. Justwhat kind of powers is not very clear, norwas it quite clear to Martha herself; butthe point is skillfully utilized in the plot ofthe story.

Yet although the story is carried outaccording to a fairly clear and wellrounded plan, it is not in all respects con-vincing. The author does not appear to bealways certain whether she is writing of avery young girl not so far removed fromchildhood, or of a well developed younglady, quite old enough to be interested inweddings and the general state of matri-mony. The style is that of the girls'stories for which Mrs. Abbott has becomeso well and favorably known; but thecharacter of Martha herself is a little toomature, as it turns out, to be handledexactly in this way.

The phraseology of the book, while wenote marked improvements over earliervolumes, still leaves something to be de-sired. The author or the proofreader isuncertain where the apostrophe goes tomake the possessive of Myers. The commasentence is too frequent. "Gotten" and"humans" stare us in the face. We havesome doubts about "crazy house" forasylum or sanitarium. "Ought a know"(p. 266) is abominable printing.

But perhaps we are getting fussy. Any-how the story is wholesome and delightful.It will interest a large circle of readers whoknow what to expect from Mrs. Abbott.
