Bursar H. S. Ford won a decided vic-

tory in his fight to make motorists driveto the right of the safety zones on theMasachusetts Avenue side of the Tech-nology buildings when the Council ofthe City of Cambridge voted to amendthe traffic ordinance on May 5. May-or Quinn of Cambridge approved theact last Friday.

The amended ordinance now reads"On a highway divided longitudinallyby a parkway, reserved space for streetrailway cars, viaduct, walk, sunken wayor zone, vehicles shall keep to the rightof such division."

Bursar Ford protested to the city lastmonth to the effect that motorists, bydriving within the safety zones, wereendangering the lives of persons goingto and from Technology. He pointedout that there was no fault whatever tofind with the average driver of motorvehicles but that it is the utterly reck-less driver, who wantonly disregardslaws and regulations, who is dangerous.

Institute RanksSixth Among The

Richest SchoolsValuation May Be Higher Since

It Was Figured OnCost Price

Technology, with buildings, 'groundand equipment valued at $12,176,000,stands sixth in regards to value of equip-ment in the list of colleges and univer-sities in the United States. Harvardhas the highest valuation of any college,with a total sum of $22,800,000. Thefigures were compiled by the nationalbureau of education and released forpublication yesterday.

Second to Harvard in valuation is Yalewith a total worth of $21,089,000. Fol-lowing in order are Columbia, Pennsyl-vania, Chicago, Technology, and LelandStanford.

Million dollar endowments, the reportshowed, are possessed by 121 Americanuniversities, most of which are underprivate control. The state universitieswere found, as a rule, not heavily en-dowed and only 18 of them are in themillionaire class as far as productive en-dowments are concerned

Harvard University again leads withan endowment of $53,032,010 and istherefore the richest education institutionin the United States. Columbia is sec-ond with an endowment of $41,301,000and following in order are Yale, LelandStanford, Chicago, Corniell, Johns Hopkins, Carnegie, Princeton, Rochester andPennsylvania. Technology stands highin the list with an endowment of $21,-

Bursar H. S. Ford, in making knownthe :figures on the endowment and valu-ation of Technology yesterday, emphaseized the fact that the, valuation of theInstitute equipmnent is based on cost priceand is perhaps worth twice as much. un-.der present day' cadtonl

,Prof. R. T. Haslam '11, head of the,school of Chemical Engineering Prac-:.tice, last week was elected head of the

t Boston section of the U. S. Chemical, Warfare Association. Prof. W. K.l Lewis '05 wuas elected to the executive.commnittee, and Lieutenant Colonel F. H.,Keyes '93 and Bradley Dewey '09 were,clected honorary officers.IThe object of the association, accord-

;ing to the new president, is to bring be-

fore the public the real purpose of Chem-ical Warfare units and to eradicate the

.false impression that so many have of:the workings of Chemical Warfare. TheAssociation is not to promote warfarebut is simply an organization of civiliansand officers who are interested in na-tional def ense and in the study ofchemistry.

Colonel W. H. Walker who establishedthe Chemical Engineering school ofPractice says, "I congratulate the Chem-ical Warfare Service organization andI urge all former members of the ser-vice to give it their hearty support andhelp develop this important departmentof our national defense. During the war$8,000,000 was spent on mules and horseswhich had practically no use whateverin the late war and only $900),000 'wasspent on the Chemical Warfare Ser-vice."

As We Like -It-COPLEY

IN its feature "The Past Month" the Technology Review for May~1 has several interesting paragraphs on the work of the various.

departmental Visiting Committees and their Advisers. The VisitingCommittees have been in existence for a long time but it has onlybeen recently that the system of advisers was inaugurated. The Committee themselves, it would seem, have never been particularlyCactive but the injection of nlew blood into them under the form of Ioutside advisers bids fair to give them a new zest for life. a~a

To the praise which the Review has given for the work ac- acomplished by the Committees and their Advisers we would like. to i:add our praise for the idea in itself. Too often the only contactcwhich a college has with the outside world comes through its alumni. These alumni while they undoubtedly have the best in-Eterests of the college at heart suffer to a certain extent from the fisame restrictions as does the faculty. They feel too close to theeschool to get proper perspective.

With the addition to the alumni committees of menl hithertolnot connected with the Institute we should get opinions bearing ufthe farther outlook of the spectator and yet tempered to meet 1conditions as the alumni know them.

THROWING COCOANUJTS AT TECHNOLOGY a

THE time-wvorn criticism of the buildings of Technology has a1Tagain appeared in print: another genius has dissected our In- a

stitute' and held it up, piece bty piece, to be laughed to scorn by.the intelligentsia. He has usurped our privilege of calling Tech-;nology a "factory," with this difference: he has looked at pictures .Of it, and finds fault with what his eve tell him Technology is, whilewe spend much of our time close to the Great Court, and cometo realize that Technology is more than a group of buildings.

Our critic flits without effort from the art of the ancient Greeksto the most recent slang terms, to show the broad scope of histknowledge: he deals us a crushing blow by saying that we have"icy hearts," because wve are "blind to a new world of intoxicatingforms which sent Walt Whitman into rhapsodies," and himself.into hysterics.

Modernistic itupressions of the Institute, conveniently unin-telligible, provide the authentic artistic touch for his artcle. Wehave always thought that sincere criticism auas best expressed inold-fashioned wfords, short and full of meaning. Apparently we arew~rong, and nlust appeal for information to our critic, wvho mustsurely be all authority competent to give pointers to Socrates llim-

PUBLICATIONS TOO RISQUJE?

THAT the average undergraduate humorous publication is too1Trisque i s the concen~sts of opinion, according to ane article on

the Beanpot-Lampoon-Advrocate episodes in a r ecent issue of theBoston Transcript. If such is indeed the concensus of opinion, thenwe must disagree waith the majority, for it is not believed thata college humorous paper can be too risque and continue to exist.

The financial backbone of any periodical, the thing which en-sures the continutation of its existence is its advertising. And theamnount of advertising is directly dependent on the circulation.

Practically all of the circulation of a college humorous publica-tion falls inltO three groups: undergraduates, relatives and friendsOf undergraduates, and alumni. That the average mall in thiscountry does not enjoy filth is proven by the lasss which existagainst obscene inatter', andf surely college m-en and their familiesare no exception to thlis.

The average undergraduate airill read one or twNo issues of amnagazine which specializes in pornography, and laugh at it if itbie humnorovls; but he whill not continue to buyt it. And he will cer-tainly not send a smutty magazine home to his family and friends.The Alumni, on the other hand, if they receive more than one copyof a magazine which they consider risque, will at once take stepsto alter the paper's policy, first by advising the student editorsand then, if that fails, by more direct means.

Thus, while a college humorous puzblication may print one ortwo risque issues, to continue to offer obscenity is to strangle it-self. And although a paper may lay itself open to condemnationon this score occasionally for publicity purposes-as did the Lam-poonyet it dare not continue without fear of effecting that allpublicity wsill be useless, since its excistence will be terminated.

The Coast Artillery R. O. T. C. Campwhill be held at Fort Monroe, Va., fromJune 12th to Julyr 23rd islculsive. Aboutsixty Tech men are expected to attendand in addition there wvill be men fromall colleges which have Coast ArtilleryUnits, as far west as Kansas and south,to the Georgia line.

Fort Monroe is located at Old PointComfort, on Hampton Roads, about tenmiles from Norfolk. It is the oldest,or at least one of the oldest fortifiedplaces in the United States, forts hav-ing been maintained there continuouslysince about 1607. Historically it is ofgreat interest as it was the startingpoint of some of the major expeditionsof the Civil War, -and a large part ofthat -,,rar spas fought in that section ofVirginia. The famnous battle betweenthe Monitor and M~errimac took place

w ithin sight of the post. Yorktown, thesite of Cornwallis' surrender to Wash-

illgtol, and later of the Confederateop~position to forces of McClellan isonly thirty miles distant'and will prob-ably be visited byr most of those whoattend the camp.

A, the present time Fort Monroe isthe site of the Coast Artillery Schools,separate establishments being main-tained for Field Officers, Batterv Com-

msanders, and Enlisted Specialists. Thegarrison numbers about one thousandmen manning fixed coast artillery andanti-aircraf t. These troops, in addi-tion to their regular work, are used asdemonstration troops for school pur-poses and also to test out new typesof fire control and artillery equipment.

We do not at present feel justified illcriticizing the National Congress formaking their investigations prejudical andexaggerated. Criticism of this sortshould begin at home.

Attention was recently called tfo thefact that in times past dramatics havebeen practiced here. Plays were givenunder the auspices of the Walker Club,and plays of soundness and value atthat. Now that there is so much talkin the air about extra-curricular "cul-ture" at the Institute it might be wellif some ambitious organization wouldagain attempt 'to arouse some interest indrama. It has been shown that suchan academic practice as debating can bemade successful here. If next it couldbe shown that something drarnaticallhsound and worthwhile has a place atthe Institute, it is felt that a valuablecontribution vl have been made. Cer-tainly it whould be to more advantagethan chasing futuristic peace doves.

The powers that be- in and behind alurn-nli affairs have been showing an unusualamount of enthusiasm, and drive. Andlthey are achieving a correspondingamount of success.

Of much di fferent grade than the usualrun of plays at the Copley Theatre isGe-orge M. Cohan's "Sevenl Keys toBaldplate," playing there this week. Inaddition to the surprise of a melodramaat the Copley is the fact that Mr. Cliveand Miss Standing are given minorparts, Alan Mowbray and May Edisscarrying the principal male and femaleroles.

The plot is transparent from the be-ginning. It is the old melodrama twistedfirst into a prearranged plot and thenex;plainled as a book being written byone of the characters. The dialogue isnot particularly clever, and there is agreat deal of repetition-the phrase, "Iuse it in my books," Nvas repeated atleast five times.

The one outstanding merit of thesshow is the splendid acting of Mr. Mow-

bray as the hero-author. Miss Ediss doesa very good piece of work, although notone of the female characters is very important. Mr. Clive performed admir-ably, of course, and Miss Standing man-aged some profanity without appearingunduly embarrassed. The rest of theacting was quite adequate, except thatthe part of the caretakcer's wife wasperhaps a little overdone. J.H.M.

Stolen jewels, a packetiof love letter'sto a chorus girl, and exchanged travel-ing bags form a substantial nucleus forfast-moving action in Fred Jack-son'sfarce, "A Full House," presented. at theSt. Jamnes theatre this week. Innum-erable humorous situations and cleverlines kept the audience in an uproarthroughout the play, despite the discom-fort of the youngbride , her pessimisticmaiden aunt, and the blundering maidfrom Sioux City.

A young lawyer leaves his wife theday after their marriage to visit a chorusgirl in Boston and obtain from her lovteletters written bay a friend of his. Thefact that he had told his wife he Erasgoing to Cleveland on business, an in-cidental train wreck-, and the theft ofa rabid necklace in Boston start in theincreasing complexity of the situation.But there is no real action, comparatively,until the energetic lawyer returns andhis wife finds the stolen jewels, a blackniask, a revolver, and a burglar's kitill his handbag. Then comes one Nich-olas King to their apartment to exchangebags which had become switched dur-ing the train wreck. Matters becomefurther complicated whlen Susie, the maid,in an effort to claim the reward forthe stolen jewels, calls the police. Theefficient trio of policemen furnish furthercomedy and after a "ful hourse" is ob-tained by letting everybody in but no-body out, explanations from all sideslead to a happy ending. J.B.G.

Scott's Distinctive SuitsWith Younlg Men's Viewpoints

VOUTH will ride a hobby-horse. There are no two1 ways about that. Then there are many things a

young man wants (and never obtains). He wants hisviewpoints respected and he likes the purchasing powerof his dollar extended.

Collegians and young business men know that-there is no extravagance in Scott's Standard,Style, Price or Quality.

The busy business in our young men's section emphasizesthis fact better than any studied-over story we couldprint.

'Speaking before the Ohio C~ollege As-sociation, Prof. E. G. Mahin, of PurdueUniversity, denounced intercollegiatesports as professional and a detriment tothe college youth of the country. Pro-fessor Mahin, who is a teacher of ana-lytical chemistry at the Western school,declared that the present system of col-lege football "is a real evil to the healthand physical soundness of many of itsplavers and even to their lives." Hefurther decried the present tendencyamong educational institutions to makethe home-cominlg of football teams an oc-casionl for liquor-drinking debauches andinsane revelry.

The speaker continued "that the mostserious charge that may rightfully bebrought aganst the present order of phy-sicai training is that it not only failsutterly to be of any use in the physicalupbuilding of the great mass of studentswho need it, but, on the contrary, ath-letics a's played today are most harinuluto those indulging." Professor Mahin de-clared he believed "the only practicablesolution of the problem of higher edu-cation is to be f ound in the absolute di-vorcem~pt of the college from this enter-prise of intercollegiate athletics."

The gov-ernmenlt representatives state that theyhad attempted to quell radical riot con-dlucted by the students in the universitybuildings and the lDean wrould not per-mit them to enter.

Tlle walls of Paris are covered withliterature seeking sympathy of the pub-lic in their walk-out. From Paris thestrike movement has radiated through19 other French provrinces, producingsy mpathy strikes among the studentsand faculty. The students present theirargument that the appointment ofGeorges Scalles, former minister of la-bor, to take the place of the formerdeatn, Dr. Louis Barthelemy, as dean ofthe college and professor of interna-tional law, was a distinctly political ap-pointinlent of the radical Herriot min-istry.

In spite of the fact that we didn'tcome out on the long end of the scorewith Harvard Saturday, some of the mencame through in fine fashion, particularlyHank Steinbrenner, Major Sanford, andGeorge Leness.

H-ank after copping second place inthe high hurdles came back -in the lowsto beat out Jeff Fletcher, the Crimsonace. This is the second week that Stein-brenner has been up among the winners.A week ago in the Princeton meet hega,% c the fleet-footed Scattergood morethan a run for his money.

While we are on the subject of dis-tance runners we musn't forget Capt.Eddie Cllute of the frosh team. Chutesure ran a pretty race in the dual meetwith the Harvard frosh, and if he cornlesalong next year as he has this, be willcause a lot of trouble for many would-be milers in intercollegiate ranks. Goodwork Eddie.

Collier, frosh distance runner, waspretty badly banged up Saturday whenhe fell in one of the longer runs.' Be-fore he could get up about six men,wholo were following closely behind him,ivere unable to dodge him and run overIhim spikling him up badly. He wvillprobably be out for the remainder ofthe week anyway, if not longer.

This kind of an accident is one ofthe unpreventable ones. No-one was toblame but nevertheless it sort of ?? ??

lThursday night the track team entrainsfor Ithaca where they will meet Cornellin a dual meet the latter part of theweek. Hope they come out better- inthis meet than they have for the lasttwo weeks.

Tt] Jack, one of the freshmen, theInstitute has a promising young polevaulter, who should make a name forhimself before he graduates. He hasalready broken the frosh pole vault rec-ord this spring in practice on severaldifferent occasions.

Chink Drew has been having consid-erable trouble this spring due to hisfouling when throwing the hammer.~This has spoiled several good chancesto take firsts. For a Pig nwn, though,'he has shown surprising form in thehigh jump.

favorably with the best in the coThere seems little doubt that the Har- e

Yard net team will walk off the courts victorious this afternoon, yet Joe Rus-sell, captain of the Tech forces, feelsthat the match will be a great dealcloser than the dopsters are countingon. So far this season, the Tech teamhas been undefeated, with wins oversome formidable opponents to theircredit. Since their return from theSouthern trip, Harvard has not met anyOpponents. In trhc South however, theydid not lose a match, defeating somefirst rate teams. They have a win overa team that defeated Yale and also oneover Columbia.

Broadhurst To Meet BriggsWhen Russell of the Tech team and

Ingraham of the Crimson come upagainst each other this afternoon, a finematch mayf be expected. At the pres-ent time, Russell is playing some of hisbest tennis, and should make Ingrahamplay his best to win. It seems doubtfulwhether he can win from the Harvardcaptain, but stranger things have beenknown to happen.

Broadhurst will be up against aboutthe best player he will meet this yearin Alden Briggs, second marl on theHarvard team. Briggs has one of thebest backhands ill New England cir-cles, and anl excellent forehand chopthat bothers many players. Broadhurstwill have to be at the top of his gameto pull a win out of the fire, but lie iscapable of it if Briggs does not happento be at the top of his game.

Peck Has An Outside ChanceErnie Hinck has been moved up to

number three position and will meeJohn Whitbeck;, former interscholasti.champion. Whitbeck, a big man witla great deal of speed on the ball, ishampered slightly by being a bit slowinl covering court. If Hinck can takeadvantage of this slowness, he has afine chance to captuire the match. Heis just about rounding to the top of hisforml, and with one of the fastest fore-hands to be found will give Whitbecka great deal of trouble.

Peckc will probably come up againstPark Cummings in number four sineI-les. Cummings is a fine player when

he is going right, but has an off dayoccasionally when he is very unsteadyPeck, with his steady game, may bejust the right man to throw Cummingsoff his game, and come through witha win. If Cumlmings is going right, itseems doubtful if Peck will be able toadd to the Tech total.

Harvard Uncertain in DoublesAs the Harvard match is to be played

with a six man team, Eddy and Peter-son will both have another opportunityto show their worth. The first matchthey played in this season was lastweek at Brown, when they both woneasily. It is still uncertain how they,will be able to make out against thestronger Harvard players. There is as

ioutside chance for them to comeithrough as most of Harvard's strengthis at the head of the list.EThe same doubles team-s will playnagainst Harvard as has play ed in the .iormer matches. Harvard has alwaysbeen noted for producing fine doublesteams, but as they have not played anyimportant matches this year, they arean unknown quantity in thi srespectRussell and -Broadhurst will meetfine pair nevertheless in Ingrahamn andB3riggs and wxill have their work cutotlt for them.

SWIMERS RECEIVINGCOACHING AT Aft' POOL

Although the swimming season isstil! some months away, Coach RussDean is at the "Y" pool occasionally togive pointers to the men that are outfor swimming. He will be at the poolthis afternoon from 5 o'clock on togive instructions on, summer trainingto those men that intend to try outfor the Varsity swimming team thisfall.

A number of the men on last year'sVarsity and frosh team are still prac-ticing regularly at the pool, in an en-deavor to improve their speed andstyle before the regular season starts.There are still some of the men thatwere on the team last fall and winterthat are not out for any other activity.It is these men that Dean is spendinghis time-in- coaching ·in- order to havethe men more advanced in trainingwhen the season starts.

When the Varsity tennis team meets Harvard this afternoon Richards Cup Race AttractingI - --- - ---- - - - - I

A strenuous schedule is facing theBeavers this week. Af ter the Amherstgame of yesterday, they are to clashwith the B.U. aggregation on Tech fieldtoday at 3.30. It is a question whetherthe Amherst trip will tire the team toomuch for the game, or whether it willput them in good fighting trim. Theydid not look any too good in the Prov-idence game, with both their batting andfielding way below par, but a reversalof form may be expected. It is uncer-tain who will be in the box for Tech,but it wvill probably be either Rhinehartor Illgram, Canfield having been used inmost of the Providence game. Rhine-hart ought to be in form again, afterhis streak of bad luck in his last timeill the box, when a bad combination oferrors and breaks let in four runs inhis one inning on the mound. Ingramis always reliable, and usually pitches awinlling game, and if he is chosen forthe twirling assignment, will be prettysure of coming through.

The third game in a row will be withB.C., scheduled for Thursday. This iseven a harder assignment than the B.U.game, because B.C. defeated ProvidenceCollege by a good margin, and the Beavr-ers wrere unable to touch Providence.

If the team plays its best, it may comethrough, but of late they seem to havelost their early season winning stride,and to be making more errors and blun-ders than at first. Some of this mayhave been due to overconfidence, andmay have worn off by this time. Capetain Merrewether has been showing fineform in his fielding in the last fewgames, picking off some beautiful trysin the Providence game. His battingwas not as strong as usual in that game,but usually he is the hardest and suresthitter on the team. If the team cancome through with a wrin in this gameit wvill be the biggest victory so far.

Wmnners to Receivre Gold WatchCharms Enlgraved With

Nlame and Class

Training for the Richards Cup Raceto be held on Mavr 23 has been startedin earnest be the upper class crew can-didates. Up to within a fewe days ago,the nu-mber of men trying for the Ju-nior and Senior eights wlas so smallthat it wuas not possib~le to place fullcrews on the river. At present, how-ever, there are four full shells takingdaily spills Up the Charles and the con-dition of the rien has improved con-siderably.

There is an impression among manyof the upper classmen that the placesin the crews have been firmly securedbv the- present candidates. This idea isincorrect} as there is no man in the en-tire group of prospective oarsmen whois sure of his seat in the eight. Thecoaches have been troubled by a lackof m~aterial, necessitating constantshifts in the lining up of the crewss.Quite a fews more candidates will beappreciated b~y the handlers of the af-fair, so that it is up to the huskies ofthe upper classes to get down to theboathouse without delay.

Crews Showing Good PerformancesThe freshmen and Sophomore crews

have been putting up some creditableperformances in their dailyv spins.There seemls to be a current opinionthat the class of '26 will lose theirhold on the Richards trophv after hav-in1g monopolized the honors for thetwo years of the running of the event.Both the lower class eights, by the-amount of spirit that has been exhib-ited during the past few days, will goa long way in bringing the trophy tothe "tepees" of their classes. The sec-ond frosh eight, who will represent '28in the miniature regatta, are keeping intrimi by actual meets, giving themn anedge In condition over the other con-testants.

Victory in the Richards classic willmecan snore to the winving eight thanmnere glery. Tile numerals of the xvin-ning class will be inscribed on thetrophy, while the members of the crewwill receive gold watch charms. Thenanle of the rowver will lie engraved onone side of the mnedal, while the otherside wvill bear an engraving of the Rich-ards Cup.

SENIORS DEFEATED BYFRES;HMAN BALL TEA

Playinlg their first game of the sea-:son, the Senior ball teasn was defeated

bvr the frosh vesterday afternoon l0to 4 on Tech Field. A big second in-ninlg in %which the frosh pounded the-offerings of Myrick, the Sellior pitch-

ier, was enough to give them the game.B3ernhardt, the frosh pitcher -held theupper classmen w ell in hand, keepingthe hits well scattered.

Thi is the second game that thelfrosh have won, ha~ving already defeat-ed the Sophs. On the other haned, theSophs reversed the decision a few days

It is rumored about that Lou PorterNvill be unable to run in a dual meetuntil the New' Englands. Although hisscoring power is being missed much bythe team,, it is better to wait until he is"right" before he tries any meets.

George Leness sure gave a good ac-count of himself in the half-mile Sat-urday by forcing Soapy Watters to the'imit. It is none other than Uis sameSoapy who was on the victorious Olyni-Pic team 'ast summer.

In both the Princeton and Harvardmeets, the Engineer pole vaulters foundthat they could clear the bar when itwas higher than usual. At Princeton,Ed- Lucy cleared the bar higher thanhe has ever done in practice at the In-stitute. He explains it in the fact thatthe uprights at Princeton are set far-ther apart making the bar seem lowerthan it really was. Another reason of-f ered was the fact that the pole i'splaced in a box, which did not allowthe pole to sink in differently on dif-ferent atte,,npts.

(Special Dispatch from the ColumbiaSpectator)

No changes in the line-ups in the lo-cal boats have been announced. In thepractice sessions which are held dailyon tle Harlem now un'der Coach FredMiller's supervision, emphasis is beinglaid on slidewwork in an effort to securea longer run between strokes.

The woater being extraordinarilyrough this week the crews have notas yet been able to get on the Hud-son for any long rows. Forced to con-fine his activities to the Harlem CoachMiller sent his eights down to HighBridge, with the frosh and 150 pound-ers under Wascheck. Although this in-ability to get out for long workouts issomewhat of a hindrance to the dev-elopment of the boats the oarsmen aretaking advantage of the opportunityto get the feel of the Harlem course,over which the next two regattas areto be rowed.

The first races on the home waterswill be held on May 16. Tle Lion Var-sity will be opposed by the crew fromMasachusetts Institute of Technology.Although crew has only been in exis-tence at Tech for the past few yearsthe New England eight is regarded asthe best to be turned out by that In-stitution. The jayvee race will be withSyracuse and possibly, a boat from M.I. T. In addition a race is being ar-ranged f or either the first or secondf reshmen.

Techntology MenP To Attentd CollegeTe C.A.Conference

Auspices

Accor(illg to custom, the T.C.A. isplaning to be represented at the for-tieth annual college conference to behit ld at Silver Bay, on Lake George,N. Y., June 11 to 19. Although tlhetrip is 275 miles, 31 men from Iff.I.1.attended last year, and a large delega-tion is hoped for this year. The execu-tive committee has elected J. H. Wills '26chairman of the delegation.

W. M. Ross, secretary of the T. C.A. is quoted as saying, "Of all theconferences which I have attended, theconference at Silver Bay, to my mind,has meant the most along religious,social, intellectual, and physical lines.Among the 121 Tech men who havebeen present at the last five confer-ences, not one have I ever heard saythat he was sorry he went. The con-ference this year gives every indica-tion of being on the same high planewith the conferences of previous yearsand as such I have no hesitancy in pre-dicting that the men who comprise theTechnology delegation this year willfeel amply repaid for the time andmoney they expend by being presentat Silver Bay June 11-19."

Any Tech mnan is eligible for the trip.The expenses are in the vicinity of $40,

illcludii g b~oard, room, program fee, andtrallsportation. To assist students whowould like to attend the conference but 1

who are prevented by financial difficul-ties, the executive committee has voted to imake partial payment toward the ex-penses of the trip. All men wishing tosign up or desiring further informationshould leave word at the T.C.A. office.

Last y car, 650 students attended theSilver Bay Conference representing 60New England and Middle Atlantic Col-leges. The program consisted of meet-ings in the mornings and evenings, whilethe afternoons were free for recreation.

TRIP TO WEYMOUTHBY E.. SOCIETY

Bus To Take Students To VisitUnique Features of the

Edison Plant

This afternoon the members of the

Electrical Engineering Society Mi

make a visit to the Weymouth Station

of the Edison Electric IlluminatingCompany of Boston. The trip will bemade by buses which will leave in frontof the Great Couirt at 2. This plant,according to development studies madeby the company, will within a few yearsbecome the base-load station of thesystem, and will function as a true su-per-pcuwer plant in the New Englandnetwork.

Among the unique features of thestation is the 1200 pound tturbo-gener-ating unit. The boiler used to supplythis unit is a modification of the con-ventional cross-drum Babcock and Wil-cox type. The turbine will operate at3600 r. p. mn. and is of horizontal, fourbearing design. It is of the straightimpulse, twenty stage type.

Another interesting feature is the is-olated switch house. In order to re-duce the possibility of short circuit thethree plhases are isolated on three sep-arate floors. A conduit room is placedbelow the switch room t-o reduce trou-ble occurring in the switching and me-tering equipment. Tlle ultimate capa-city of the Weymouth Station exceeds400,00) kilowatts. Energy will be de-livered to the area west of Boston at115,000 volts by means of a ring trans-mission system.
