Through Large ElectricPowver Station

Members of the Student Branch ofthe A. I. E. E., and their friends metyesterday at the Charles LeavittEdgar station of the Edison ElectricIlluminating Company at Weymouthto inspect this modern power plant.,This is one of the few stations in theWorld using steam at 1400 poundspressure. This has resulted in veryhigh efficiency, as the steam is useduntil the pressure is only '750 poundsand then the remaining heat is usedto preheat the air entering the boil-ers. Another important factor in theefficiency of this plant is that eachgenerator is a separate unit in itself.The main generator has an outputof 60,000 K.W. at 14,000 volts. Thereare two other generators -of the sametype with a 30,000 K.W. output each

Near the end of the trip, an unex-pected surprise came in the form ofa short circuit in the main controlroom. After a few minutes of hur-ried manipulating of switches the sta-tion was a-ain at normal.

Donald H. Valentine,'29, the Public-ity Manager of the society was incharge. As a larger crowd than wasexpected appeared at the plant officemore of these trips to large electricalplants will probably be planned.

Pictures of Air Races ShowingTechnology's Ships Will

be Presented

r Phillip Allen, a former naval avia-I tor, and Otto C. Koppen '24 will be

the principal speakers at the Aero-noutical Engineering Society smokerin Raom 5-330 on Wednesday nightat 7:30 o'clock. Their subjects willdeal primarily with a discussion ofgliders and, in addition, movingpictures of the 1922 flying contestsabroad and of the society's glider inflight on the Cape recently will. beshown.

Otto Koppen designed the twogliders which were built at the In-stitute in 1922. These were testflown at Ipswich and shipped abroadwhere they were flown at Clermont-Ferrand France and on the Wasser-kuppe at Rhoen in Germany. Thegliders were piloted by E!dmund TAllen '23, who is now with the Ai;Mail. The A. E. S. has a bronzemedal which was awarded it on thistrip by the Aeronautique Club deFrance.

He has also designed the little Ford"flivver" airplane and the new Fair-child 21 training ship. At present heis employed in the engineering de-partment of the Fairchild plant onLong Island.

Philip Allen received his trainingfrom the Navy. Later he went to theGerman gliding scho6l at Rossittenon the Baltic Sea in December. He isthe only American now qualified as asoaring glider, pilot. This is ithehighest grade obtainable.

The moving pictures will show theTechnology ships which were enteredin the 1922 flying contests. They willalso depict the flight of the presentA. E. S. glider which was made onCape Cod last November. Announce-ment of final plans in regard to theflight to be attempted this year willbe made.

GLEE AND McDOWELLCLUBS GIVE CONCERT

Technology Club Well Receivedin Combined Program

Appearing for the first time witha semi-professional club the Tech-ncIogy Glee Club combined with theMcDowell Club in a concert at'JordanHall on Wednesday afternoon.

In ensemble and vocal quality theTechnologv- Club lost nothing by col_�_parison with the more adult organi-zation. The affair was attended by acapacity audience which Tespond6dwith enthusiasm to work of the clubs.

The program was characterized byseveral numbers by Holst of whichPsalm CXLVIII given by both theclubs was one of the features of theafternoon. Of the Technology Club'snumbers none were received more en-thusiasticall-- than "Promis' Lan... byBurleigh a negro spiritual. The Tech-nology's rendition of Mozart's "AveVerum." also received very favorablecomment by critics who heard it.

William Ellis Weston, coach of bothclubs expressed the hope that thiscombined concert might become an an-nual affair in view of the success ofthe -first concert.

TECHTONIANS WILLPLAY AT TEA DANCE

Music for the Activities Tea Dancewhich will be held in the North Hallof Walker Memorial on April 13 at

13:30 o'clock will be furnished by theTeehtonians. This dance is an an-nual affair that usually was includ-ed as one of the features of JuniorWeek. Since that week has been ab-andoned, this function will be held onthe afternoon following the Carnival.

Carnival ProfitsWill Be Employed

To Aid LacrosseConunittee Believes That Action

Will Probably EstablishPrecedent

All profits from the All TechnolooyCarnival will go to the newly foundedLacrosse team to start it well on itsway and to furnish much neededequipment. This was decided at ameeting of the Carnival Committeewhich was held last evening in theWest Lounge of Walker Memorial. Itwas thought that some worthy schoolactivity should benefit from the moneytaken in at the Carnival and Lacrossewas chosen as one which the studentswould be willing to back.

Lacrosse is a new sport at Tech-nology and it is thought that somesuch arrangement as this will help itfinancially and also arouse student in-terest in it to a degree where theywill be willing to give it their wholehearted support.

The Committee is hopeful that thismay establish a precident for futureCarnivals and that each year some,deserving organization may be the 1recipient of the profits. This policyis strongly upheld by the fact thatsuch an arrangement is carried out atmany other schools and it also helpsin the general spirit of the Carnival.

C.B.ALLEN NAMESRING COMMITTEE

Will Investigate Advisibility ofStandardizing Senior

Ring Design

C. Brigham Allen '29, president ofthe Institute Committee, was author-ized by that organization at a meetingyesterday afternoon to appoint a com-mittee to investigate the advisabilityof selecting a design for a ring thatwould be known as the Technologyring.

No definite design or shape hasbeen us4d by Serdors in selecting'rings in the past and consequentlythe ring does -not serve as a meansof identification. The committee willreport on this matter at the next In-stitute Con-unittee.

At the same meeting, the recentlelections of the M. 1. T. A. A., TechShow, and the T. C. A. were accepted.A report was read by Horace S.

Faculty Suggests Frequent ShortQuizzes As Solution to

Discontent

WORK MUST BE KEPT UP

Recommended That InstructorsDescribe Benefits of

Course

Recommendation tnat a, least threeconference hours per week should beset aside for consolations with stu-dents, that these hours be regardedas a part of the teaching scheduleof the instructor, and that when pos-

'sible students should be expected tomake their inquiries at such specifiedperiods are the various recommen-dations submitted by the joint com-mittee on Student Inquiry in the pro-gress report.

This group consists of a specialcommittee of members of the facultyappointed by President Samuel W.Stratton and a body appointed by theInstitute Committee. Investigationof causes of dissatisfaction amongthe students in regards to courses hasbeen the chief work of the commit-tee.

Faculty Suggests SolutionFive meetings were held at which

the original reports of the StudentCommittee and for the Faculty Com-mittee were carefully studied andclarified on points where there weredifferences of opinion or misunder-standing. Several suggestions as tosolution of the existing problems weresubmitted by the Faculty Committeein a previous report and as a resultof these meetings of the joint bodyadditional recommendations havebeen made.

Recommendation was made in thereport that whenever possible shortwritten quizzes should be given fre-quently, e. g., every two or threeweeks, and that the grades in all quiz-zes should be given especial weight inmaking up the final grades for thecourse. It was further recommendedthat the students be so informed atthe beginning of the course.

Work EmphasizedOne purpose of this suggestion is

to emphasize the importance of keep-ing the work of the course up to date,both as to notes and problem work. Asecond purpose is to overcome a be-lief which seems to be prevalent thatwritten quizzes are regarded as ofslight significance in determining thefinal standing of the student.

In regard to the Ho-nor Groups, thecommittee recommended that somelatitude as to absence from certainsubjects may be allowed and that.such

It is a pleasure to see the improve-ments that are being made around theInstitute for the advent of OpenHouse D~ay. Every year this motivat-ing force acts as nothing else couldto encourage the tidying of the schooland its grounds. This is a distinctadvantage to the school as well asthe visitors, as the accumulated trashof one year is thus cleared up beforeit becomes a -nuisance.

It seems that with the long listof popular, and even famous men, thatthere should be no difficulty in namingthe newest sections of the dormitories.They are now bearing the extremelyunoriginal designations of "SectionsD, E, and F." and the long list ofthose who should be honored shouldgive sufficient motivation.

Somebody is in league with theLounger and his purification of thepress ideas At least the bulletinboards have been the scene of van-dialism, directed against the postersput up by that scurrillous sheet, the"Filter Paper." These announce-ments, it seems, won't stay up on theboards more than halfE an hour be-fore some other clean-minded gen-itleman removes them.

Still the rumor persists. Veryvague, but nevertheless it is there-the "Filter Paper" is on its way out.It ought to be good, for if thereisn't enough dirt around this place,then the Lounger should have beenwriting Sunday School papers allthese years. "Voo Doo" finds enoughscandal to put Qut an issue, eachmonth, the Lounger could easily filla column a week, and we ought toexpect something spicy from the"Filter Paper," after a whole year.

Monday's April 1st, and the Loun-ger will be walking around that daywith a chip on his shoulder. In themeantime, he thanks his unknowncolleagues for their attempts to keepTechnology publications pure andsimple, for the benefit of their read-ers.

D~r. Munroe Has Experimented onSchool Children for Over

Or ~Sixteenl Years

Dr. John Munroe of Long IslandUniversity is convinced that poor foodis directlv responsible for much oflow intelligence. This comes as aresult of sixteen years of study on theschism between heredity and environ-ment. Five thousand children passedunder his scrutinizing eye. With theelapse of years, the effect of the work-ings of the digestive tract on the de-velopment of the intelligence wasclosely observed.

Wih unabated patience, Dr. Munroedogged the footsteps of seven hun-dred children as they ascended thelong ladder of intellectual develop-ment, through school and college. Thedata that was compiled in this inves-tigation was used as a basis of thestatement that food has such an ef-fect.

Restaurateurs AgreeThe American Order of Restaura-

teurs voiced its opinion of the doc-tor's statement. "There is no doubtthat without the proper nourishment,the mind cannot function satisfactor-ily. Deprived of his daily dose offilet mignon or caviar, the gourmandwould find it impossible to wadethrough the intricacies of the trans-cendental functions of the highermathematics."

Dr. Munroe's tests were begun inFairbault, Minn., in 1913. Children ofthe Fairbault public schools were thesubjects. Dr. Frederic Kuhlman ofthe -Minnesota State Board of Con-trol and members of his staff colla-borated in the earlier experiments.

Retests were made at intervals o -ffrom two to three years. The find-ings were formulated under the gulid-ance of Dr. Frank W. Freeman of theUniversity of Chicago. Kuhlman-Binet tests wvere first used. Six oreight years later 169' students wereselected at random and were examinedand submitted to the Otis advancegroup tests.

"As a side experiment," Dr. Munroesaid, "I performed experiments uponten children from families where onewould expect an inheritance of fairly high intelligence. For some months I fed eggnogs twice a day to the chil-dren and found at the end of the ex-periment that all but one had in-creased in intelligence."

It seems that the Carnival Com-mnittee was discussing the coming at-tempt at the revival of the Circus,when the famous Dick Boyer broughtup the subject of wearing oldclothes. "It'll help the spirit of thething," says he who is not entirelyinnocent of what that term means,"if the boys alround school wear theirold clothes and funny-looking hats onCarnival Day."

"Sure, I'm all for it," says Brig."Damn good advertising."'

And then the Lounger who waslistening at the key-hole, had achance to give one of his almost f or-gotten chuckles. For there was the" voice from the back of the room"saying, "Wal, in my opinion, the ideawouldn't be much of a change fromwhat we see every day."

"He who laughs first is likely to findhe's the biggest fool," as Xerxes theScenarist once observed. AEd theLounger doesn't know whether tolaugh hardest at the Sophs or thleFreshman Rules Committee. As hasalready got out, they corralled a lotof "freshmen" who weren't wearingtheir regalia, only to find that a lotof them were Class of '31. Whowas funnier, the committee in theirmisplaced activity, or the denseSophs, who are so dumb as to looklike freshmen and have to repeatfrosh courses?

With every exam the Loungertakes, he gets madder and madder atthe authorities who make him sitin the drawing rooms. If driving alocomotive is hard on the kidneys,the hospitals are going to have toopen special wards for decrepit Tech-sters who have lost their health whileperched on the stools of draftingrooms, cogitating on exams.

There we sit, trying to wrack ourbrains to remember a formula, whileall our efforts must be used to keepfrom falling off the damn stools. Notroom enough to put the knees underthe table, can't reach the floor withour feet, can't put them on the braceunder the bench without turning con-.

Four Car Width

Complete plans for the constructionof the longest bridge in the world, toextend across Boston harbour fromCity Point to Hull, a distance of 73/4.miles, were disclosed by a group ofprominent men who propose to financethe project.

The immense span will be built ata cost of $10,000,000 and will probablybe a toll bridge. Built on piles andtopped by a wide cement highway,it will rise to an elevation of 55 feetand its maximum height will be 90 feet.Though ordinary harbor shipping willbe able to pass freely beneath it,three draws have been planned thateach may provide a passage -of 250feet, sufficient to accomodate thePargest vessel in the -world.

The bridge, a concrete highway,would be of ample width for fourlines of traffic, and would decrease thedistance from the State House, Bos-ton to Nantasket from 21 to 16 miles.

It is confidently expected that thehuge structure would greatly increasethe value of real estate properties inSquantum, Hull, Nantasket andcause a general rise in property valuesalong the South Shore. Constructingof the bridge will be begun, accord-ing to the men -interested 'in thepromotion of the scheme, when theyreceive a charter from the State. Thematter is scheduled to be broached atthe State House, before the committeeon highways, on April 2nd.

THE TECH

Declares Intelligence Dependenton Quality of Food Student Eats-I~~~

MLASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGYI

OUR AQUATIC TROUBLESNow that winter sports are nearly over., the track teams, tennis,

and crew come into the limelight. But even though its seasonis over, the swimming team is still causing much discussion amongstudents. Their season this year was more successful than everbefore. They have increased the prestige of Technology in athleticcircles, and have done so by overcoming serious obstacles. Forthey are forced to practise at the University Club, and are thusdenied the opportunity for spending the time the sport demands.

However, the popular idea about the whole situation is a mis-apprehension. Most people say, "Look at the crew-everybodyknows how expensive that sport is. They have a boat house, shells,and plenty of coaches, while the swimming team gets a 'dirty deal'.Why can't we have a swimming pool ?"

This idea is erroneous. It is based, perhaps, on the fact thatat some schools, Harvard for example, the crew expenses mountup to as high as $70,000. However, here at Technology, the stu-dents pay, by means of a proportion of the tax imposed on eachman at the Institute, only $2100 towards crew expenses. Fromthis same fund, the swimming team receives $1300. If o'ne con-siders the number of men engaged in the two squads, so far asstudent support is concerned, the swimming team shows a distinctadvantage. Other interesting facts on this same subject arethese: the cost of erecting a building suitable for a swimming tankwould cost between $200,000 and $250,000, and the plant wouldhave a yearly operating cost conservatively estimated at $10,000.The Boat House cost $20,000, and its upkeep is small.

Embodied in the plans for the new gymnasium which areunder consideration at present there is, of course, an adequateswimming pool. To promote a separate plan for a swimming poolis obviously out of the question. Therefore, much as we appre-ciate the fine showing which the swimming team has made, it looksas if virtue must be its own reward, for the present at least.

NO FIRECRACKERS"A SAFE AND SANE CARNIVAL" is what the coming event is

aimed to be. Plenty of fun, a worth-while Technology get-together, an evening to be r emembered, but not a "Circus". Therehave been too many of these, and too much pie has been thrown,and too much adverse criticism has come of them.

It is a big job which the committee has undertaken. Cer-tainly they have spent plenty of time already in attempting to in-sure the success of the affair. As a tradition, the idea is verygood. Whether or not it goes off in a creditable manner is whollyup to the students.

TAKE THE TROUBLE"NYTHING worth doin- is worth doin- well" was said by a

wise man who had discovered efficiency. The quicker onerealizes the immense value of thoroughness the better start hehas toward satisfactory living. This satisfaction to be attainedin all human relationships, family, social and business.

Scientific advance has been possible through one item; thor-oughness. If scientific marvels are to continue to be given to theworld it will be through the untiring, unceasing thoroughness ofthe men behind the instruments. Not only in scientific circles isthoroughness being- cultivated to a high degree. Educators havelong agreed that to thoroughly know and understand a few chap-ters ofe a textbook is better than to have a smattering- of the factscontained in the entire volume.

Roughly speaking, there are two branches of thoroughness;that is, the doing of physical jobs, and the method of thought pro-cesses. In general the former is directly dependent upon thelatter, for the man who is a thorough thinker is apt to be a thor-ough worker. This thoroughness cannot be obtained in box formor by the gallon. The first requisite is to be willing "to take thetrouble." Also it is the last requisite, to be willing "to take thetrouble.>' And in-between point is knowing what one does notknow. The man -who knows his own faults and combats them hasgone a long way.

If a man has ability but lacks thoroughness, he will probablyget along all right. If he lacks ability but has the thoroughnesshe may do a little better. If he has both ability and thoroughnesshe will, sooner or later, almost surely be described as a genius.

Starting the season with a defeatat the hands of Princeton the teamsuccessively defeated Army, U. ofPenn., Dartmouth, Temple, and Bow-doin, only to lose the final dual meetto a strong Navy team by the score32-22. At the E. I. G. L. Cham-pionship meet the men on the squadhad an opportunity to avenge someof their individual defeats, and theysucceeded in outclassing the Prince-to team and breaking even with theNaval Academy for first honors.

Many Stars On TeamTo name any one man who was re-

sponsible for the success of the teamwould be impossible. In total pointswon, Wells heads the list with a totalof 58 points. In events, Capt. Fair-child and Dolloff turned in stellarperformances in every meet, withFairchild winning six first places andone third place on the horse and Doll-off winning six first places and onesecond place on the tumbling mats.Reynolds-the "Iron Man" of theteam stands second in scoring hon-ors with 53 points and an exception-ally good record on the rings. Inonly one meet did he lose the de-cision on the rings, and he took threefirst places on the parallels.

Rivalry on Side HorseIn five of the seven meets compe-

tition on the side horse developed intoa friendly rivalry, with Knapp, Moore,and Fairchild dividing the points.Moore climaxed his career at the In-stitute by winning third place on thehorse at the Intercollegiates in a com-

NELSON WILL LEADBASKETBALL TEAM

Star Forward is Chosen Captainof Technology Five for

Next Season

Robert M. Nelson was electedcaptain of the Basketball squad at ameeting of the letter men in the MainLobby on Wednesday noon. Nelsonplayed with the Varsity this yearand won his letter as right forward onthe team.

The new captain comes to the In-stitute from Kenilworth, Illinois,where he played soccer, baseball, andtennis on the high school team, thoughhe did not play with the basketballteam there. He attended Armour In-stitute of Technology at Chicago be-fore entering M.I.T., where he trans-ferred as a freshman. He did notplay freshman basketball here, ashe was ineligible under the one yearruling.

Played Last YearLast season he was a member of

the Varsity squad, but did not playenough to earn a letter. This yearhe played a great game at right for-ward, teaming very skillfully withBrig Allen and Bernard Brockleman,the retiring captain. The choice ofNelson was a popular one among themen, and he has the wishes of thesporting fans for a season parallelingthe past one in successful games.

GOLF TEAM PREPARESFOR SPRING SEASON

01Novel Method of Synchronization

Features System Usedat Institute

In a Seminar to be given some timein April, Henry R. Wengen, Harold E.Curtis, Francis C. Sweeney, and PeterJ. Zugale, all graduate students, aregoing to demonstrate television. Act-ual images will be sent over a wirefrom one room to another. Televisionusing two scanning discs on the sameshaft has been tried at the Instituteby Mr. Harry M. Lane, but this is thefirst time that a system having thetransmitter and receiver remote fromeach other has been used.

A synchronous motor drives theKipow disc at the transmitter. Lightfrom a high power incandescent bulbshines on the image to be televisedand is then reflected on a photoelec-tric cell. Selenium cells which wereformerly used have a large time lagand were very unsatisfactory. Thephotoelectric cells now used have acoating of potassium of sodium hy-dride coated on the inside of a glassbulb. When light shines on this elec-trons are given off to an anode pro-portional to the intensity of the beam.After being amplified by three stagesof low mu and three stages of highmu amplification the current that haspassed through the cell is sent to the~receiver.

Neon Tube NecessaryThe signal is then impressed on the

plate of a neon tube. This tube con1-sists of two plates, very close to-

gether, in an atmosphere of neon gas,and has the property of glowing, theintensity of the illumination depend-ing on the current applied. A scan-ning disc running at the same speedas that in the transmitter is placedbefore the tube and the image is seenthrough the holes of the rapidly re-volving dise.

The problem of synchronizing thetwo discs has been one which has con-fronted and baffled engineers eversince experiments were first begunon television. Using synchronous mo-tors is a possible solution, but evenwith this precaution to keep the discsrevolving at the same speed the pic-ture can be out of frame due to themotors being out of phase. This dif-

ficulty can be overcome by revolv-Ting the motor on its axis. Manualcontrol of the speed is practically im-possible if any degree of satisfactionand ease of control is desired. West-inghouse engineers have developed amethod by which the speed of thediscs is adjusted every revolution.However, this necessitates sendinganother signal on a different fre-quency than the one used for send-ing the picture.

Stroboscope UsedIn the television receiver employed !

by the' students, synchronization ismanual, but a device has been addedthat greatly simplified the operation.A white line is painted on the discand a small area of the disc aroundthe center is illuminated by a neontube connected to the same alternat-ing current line that runs the trans-mission motor. When the two motorsare running together the line appearsas a perpendicular line intersecting ahorizontal line. When the cross thusformed moves, a key is depressed andthe lines come back to the originalposition. By this method it becomesvery simple to keep the picture in frame. i

Objects held before the transmitterappear greatly reduced in size at thereceiving end, but the definition isremarkably good and a fair idea of5three dimensions is obtained. Let-,!ters about three inches in size mayleasily be read at the receiving end. Experiments are now being made us-ing different methods of synchroniza-tion, and different kinds of wire toconnect the transmitter and receiver.

For the consideration of such cases-of general dissatisfaction with themethods of instruction in individualsubjects or courses, and for the gen-eral promotion of cooperative rela-

Competition has been keen betweenithe, J. V.'s and the Varsity, the firstboat having the edge only on the fast;racing stroke. On the lower strokes,-the light crew seems to be the;stronger, and gives the Varsity a hardrace.

Ineligibles OrganizedAn ineligible crew has also been-

started, which rows every night at 5-o'clock, and all men ineligible for theregulars are invited to come out any evening, and row with this crew.i

Trailing the J. V.'s by about two lengths, the 150-pound crew has been-made faster by changes in the last week, which, it is hoped, will cutdown the lead of the faster J. V.'s.The two shifts were made in an effortto get a better combination, and in-crease the time of both crews.

Otis Evans, stroke on the Varsity,-has been doing fine work in this posi--tion, especially on the fast stroke.He rowed on the yearling crew lastyear, and was one of the best oars--men on the first freshman. Captain-Tittman, captain of the Varsity, is-also coming rapidly into shape for thecoming race. Tittman, who has been-rowing on the Varsity for two years,-is rowing number six this year, andis one of the best oarsmen rowinfor the Cardinal and Gray. Phil Holt,Dick Bennet, and Louis Evans, al60omembers of the Varsity, have beendoing outstanding work on the heavy-crew.

,CONDITIONS EXAMJSIHELD TOMORROW.

Under the new plan the first of thecondition and postponed final examina-tions will be given tomorrow.

The subjects in which tests will begiven are: 6.01 Electrical Engineer-ing Principles, 6.40 Elements of Elec-trical Engineering, 8.03 Physics, and-EC56 Corporate Organization.

The examinations will begin at 2o'clock in Room 3-440. Papers will--be given only to those who have-handed in application cards, as eachIIexamination paper has the -name of.a student on it..

There is one thing that gets theLounger's goat or would if he hadone, and that is the way some of thebest-lrated professors apparentlythink they are mind-readers. Some ofthese profs are such damn poor listen-ers that they launch into a tiradeof explanations that, instead ofclearing up any doubt about a point,makes matters worse. Why in hellcan't these mental Nurmi's get hepto themselves and obtain an under-standing of the student's questionbefore spouting drool that has al-most nothing to do with the infor-miation desired.

While roaming around Walker theevening of the Pop Concert, the Loun-gger heard a peculiarly high pitchednoise, and decided to investigate.Much to his amazement, he found Ed-die Michelman with a very silly grinon his face and what do you think?A sweet young thing was fixing histie- and wve always thought that thechild was a typical woman hater.

absences should not count adverselyin making up the final grade for thecourse, provided these exceptional stu-dents do a designated minimumamount of the required assignmentsand attend all designated writtenquizzes.

In addition to these foregoing rec-ommendations which cover the mat-ters especially considered in the orig-inal reports of both the Faculty andStudent Committees, the joint com-mittee made the following suggestions.

In every subject, and particularlyin the work of the first and secondyears, instructors be required at the-beginning of the course to explain thepurpose of the course, its relation tolater professional work, and the helpthat it is expected to give in the men-tal development of the student.
