IT T ARE SHOWING UP WELL echnology Is Expected Rank Among The Leaders Next' Year. Judging from the men who have come out for sports at the Institute this winter, interest in athletics is steadily on the increase. This may be due to a large extent at least to the efforts which are being made to build up the strength of the different teams so that when the college af- fairs are transferred from the pres- ent site on Boylston street to the other side of the river a reputation in college athletics will have been ,attained. There are several forms of athletics indulged in at the pres- ent time, chief among which are track, cross country, wrestling, and hockey ,and such minor sports ad encing, gymnasium work, basketball, and crew.

In behalf of the students of theInstitute we offer heartiest congrat-ulations to President and Mrs. Mac-laurin on the arrival of their newson, Richard Colin. Such a promis-ing prospective addition to the un-dergraduate body is a most welcomeChristmas gift.

The Tech has always been subject-ed to more or less criticism on ac-count of mistakes made in the newscolumns. While we can never com-pletely eliminate the element of ,hu-man fallibility, we have'this -yearreduced our own errors to'a verylow point, and most of the'inaccura-cies are traceable to the parties whofurlish' the news. Activities are notonly very uncertain in handing intheir news, they are extremely laxin the manner of writing it up. Prac-tically never is information submittedin 'proper form for printing, often itcontains positive inaccuracies, 'andvery seldom is it even sufficientlyclear and definite to form the basisof 'a well-rounded article. Obscurepoints must of course be filled in bythe re-writer to the best of his abilityif additional information is -not ob-tainable.

THE TEC'H, BOSTON, MASS., FRIDAY, JANUARY 1,1915

In a vast mass meeting held justbefore Christmas, the students of Co-lumbia University declared them-selves to be opposed to the spirit ofmilitarism which they assert issweeping over the country. The f61-lowing resolution 'was passed 'withbouta dissenting vote:

Resolved: That we, the students ofColumbia University, in mass meet:ing here ass'emliled, -hereby'' go onrecord before Congress and the peo-ple of the United States, as opposedto militarism in general, and -an in-crease in our army and navy in par-ticular."

Steps were then taken for the for-mation of an intercollegiate anti-militarist society.

Many students at the University ofVirginia are financially embarrassedbecause of the condition of the cot-ton market in the South. The trus-tees of the university have thereforeruled that during the current year,United States warehouse receipts forcotton will be accepted in place ofmoney for the payment of tuitionfees.

A pamphlet recently issued atWashingtoii states that the total en-roliment in institutions of higherlearning in the United States is morethan 200,000,/ and that the amount ex-pended for education innually ex-ceeds $500,000,000. " .

the men to go out to the Brooklinefield to practice. This fact alone,has resulted in quite an additional,number of men coming out for trackand field events. The cross countrysquad numbered 40 men during therunning season and on an averagethere were 30 men who showed upfor the practice runs, this showingbeing far better than has ever beenmade before at Technology by thecross country men. Owing to thefact that the team loses only oneman, Captain Cbok, by graduationnext June, it is expected that Tech-nology will rank among the leadersin next year's I. C. A. A. A. A.

At the present time there are over70 men taking regular track work atthe gym so that Coach Kanaly has avariety of material from which t6pick his relay team for the indoor[meets which start next month. When.one stops. to consider the heavycourse of study the men work underas well as the small number of menwhich are available in comparison toother colleges, this showing is re-markable. Though the absence ofpreparatory school stars may be re-sponsible for the number of mencoming out a great deal is due tothe general feeling that most of themen enter on an equal footing andthe coach's idea is to' give the menon tlhe team as well as the poorestrunner on the squad equal attention.

NEXT TUIESDAY SET .FOR JUNIOR DINNER

Movies And Other New FeaturesAre Planned For Unique

Entertainment.

The 1916 class dinner which is tobe held at the Union on Tuesday eve-ning, January 5th, is expected to beone of the most unique affairs of itskind which have been given at theInstitute. It is expected that fully200 wiI1 be provided for, and a reportof ho w the sale of tickets is pro-gressing will be .made public nextMonday. The special feature of thebanquet will be a film of moving pic-tures showing last year's Techniquerush, as many men have not yetviewed this scene on the screen.

The speakers will be Dean Burton,Professor Hayward and Mr. Black-stein. The committee in charge con-sists of W. J. Farthinig, T. F. Mc-Sweeney and R. H. White, and ticketsmay be secured from any one ofthese.

ATHLETICS(Continued from Page Two)

As an example of this Captain Cookwho won the two-mnile run in theNew England intercollegiate lastspring, is one of the many men wh,naver did any running before com-ing to the Institute.

Wrestling is perhaps the most fa-vored sport, as is shown by the factthat the squad numbers about fitymen. Although it has only been arecognized' sport for three years, theteam has gone through two and one-half seasons without a single defeat,and in this way has brought thesport before the Technology map asforcibly As could be done. A fullschedule with meets every week dur-ing the middle' of the season haskept the var sity Men active, while.the interclass and novice meets forthose not on the team has served tohold the interest of these during thelast two years and it is planned tocontinue the same policy throughoutthis season.

Conditions are different regardinghockey and the nunmber of men islimited to those on the varsity squad.The Arena is the only place avail-able for practice and as the time andnumber of the men is limited thesquad is cut down to a minimumearly in the season.

With a varsity squad numberingabout twenty men basketball is at-tracting a considerable number ofmen. In addition to this there areclass teams of the freshmen andSophomores bring out several more.

Fencing, gym work, and the swim-ming team also show an increasedinterest in athletics. The gym teamhas induced about fifteen men to dis-play their talent and fencing has re-sulted in as many men coming outas are out for the sport at aHr-vard. Twenty--five men have comeout for the newly organized swim-ming team, the majority of whomare still showing considerable inter-est in spite of the fact that the menare charged individually for swim-ming privileges at the Y. M. C. A.

UNION COLLEGE TEAMDEFEATS TECHNOLOGY

Basketball Team Loses To LastYear's Intercollegiate

Champions.

The basketball team opened its sea-son Wednesday night with a gamewith the strongest team. that will op-pose it this year. .They were; defeait-ed by Union College which had thecomplete veteran lineup that won thentercollegiate championship' last year.

One big benefit derived from, the de-feat at- Schenectadyr is that it wasplainly- evident that in order to com-pete with coached college teams theTechnology team needs a coach. Theteam has been fortunate in securingthe services of Crane, the old Wes-leyan player for three years an All-American guard, as coach and he willstart work today. In this game Hud-son played the best for Technology,making a remarkable showing in hisdefence work.

THE ANNUAL REPORT.OF PRES. MACLAURIN

Mention Made of Co-operationWith Harvard And State

And New Course.The annual report of President

Maclaurin contains the first officialreference on the part of the Instituteto the agreement with Harvard Uni-versity. Concerning this co-operationthe report says: "It represents thejoint effort of two independent insti-tutions to place the resources of bothat the service of students of engin-eering. As soon as the possibility ofco-operation between the two institu-tions was made clear by the readi-ness of each to make everythingsubservient to the desire to servethe community, the various possibili-ties were considered. It soon becanmcevident that there could be no effec-tive co-operation on a large scale ifthe institutions maintained separatelaboratories and independent staffs.A few students might be movedfromone place to another, but any exten-sive interchange of the kind wouldbe impracticable. The only satisfac-tory method of overcoming the difficulties was that which was adopted."

ANNUAL INTERCLASSMEET NEXT SATURDAY

Much Interest Has Been ExcitedAnd Close Competition

Is Expected.

Competition promises to be veryclose in all the running events of theannual interclass meet which will beheld at the gynl Saturday afternoon.With the large squad out for the390 yard relay, the quarter mile willbe the best event on the program.Owing to the fact that the race willbe i-un in heats, all who intend torun are rueuested to hand in theentries as soon as possible.

As in !:revious years, the Instituteis weak in the field events, espec'al-iy in the shot put, where up to datetonly two men have entered. As theaTa is given to winners and nunl-erals are awarded for any of thefirst four places, there is an excel-!ent opportunity for weight men toacquire the insignia.

Nearly all the short distance menwill enter both the forty yard dashand the quarter mile. Frank O'Harais a fast man off the mark andshould take first place in the dash,while Reed and quething all lookgood for a place.

The quarter will be a free for allfight between half a dozen men withCy Guething a favorite for first.Guething's running is the sensationof the season. In the last trials heran four laps in 44 2-5 seconds, brahk-ing the former record for the dis-tance held jointly by Freddie Burns

and Tom Guething. The longer dis-tance will be even more to his likingand he is expected to break the rec-ord of 57 seconds which has stoodfor several years.

Second place will be a close fight,with Colleary, Adams, Frank O'Haraand Charlie Reed all in the fight.Colleary has made the fastest timefor four laps, but Reed is apt to nosehim out at the longer distance.

According *to present indicationsthe half will have to produce a newstar. Allan who formerly ran themile has been doing short distancework and looks easily the best ofthe field should he decide to enterthis event. Hatnilton also has beencoming along well and looks goodfor a place.

In the mile Captain Cook will havethings all his own way, for thle ma-jority are not in training. Stevensof the freshmen looks like the bestbet for second place. Wilkins hasbeen in training only a shiort timebut is a strong, consistent runnerand fairly sure of a place.

Tommy Huff will have things hisown way in the hurdles with Fosterand Sewall fighting it out for second.The high jump will bring out a threecornered fight between McKinnon,Sullivan and Teeson, with McKinnon'a slight favorite.

Owing to the close competition forthe mile relay, and the'interest ithas excited at the Institute, it is ex-pected' that a large audience will bepresent.

The total coal production of theUnited States in 1914 was about 510million short tons, a decrease ofabout ,60 million tons compared with,the record ,output of 1913. The pro-,duction of Pennsylvania anth'racite in1914 was not materially differentfrom that of the precedipng year.

The production of Fefined l ead, de-silverized and soft, from do...esticand foreign .ores in 1914 was approx-iplately 537,97,9 short tons, woytlh at!te average New York pice $1,892,1,62, compared with 463,460 tons,,wqrth $40,696,480, in 1913. .Thke fig-.ures for 1914 do not ,iclude an esti-mated output of 12,850 tons of anti-monial lead.

The output of refined copper fromprimary sources, domestic and fQr-reign, for 1914, Was 1,493,000,000pounds compared with 1,615,067,0q0pounds in 1913. Arizona cot inued in|first place anmong the copper-produc-ling states, but had a notably de-creas4ed ouxt.Iut.

PRESIDENT'S' REPORT,(C6 ntinued from Page One)

Although the agreement does notgo into full effect until the Instituteis ready to occupy its new buildings,diuring the present year the profes-sors of engineering at Harvard aretaking part in the regular work ofthe Institute's Faculty, and it hasbeen particularly gratifying to Tech-nology to notice how smoothly thejoint effort is working and how easi-ly difficulties have been overcomethat to the vision of some seemedin prospect tq be formidable.

"The readiness of all concerned tomake the joint effort eminently suc-cessful," said Dr. Maclaurin to hisCorporation, "is a tribute to tihebreadth of spirit of the teaching pro-fession. I do not think that therecan now be the slightest Doubt thatthe arrangement is not only worlk-able, but very easily workable, andthat immense benefit will accrue tothe community from the combinationof effort on which we have agreed."

One of the important events of theyear upon which Dr. Maclaurin com-ments is the decision of the SupremeCourt with reference to the Insti-tute's title to its property on Boyl-ston Street. The title is now thor-oughly established and the natureand extent of the incilmbrancesclearly defined, so that the Corpora-tion stands on firm ground in mak-ing plans for the future use of thisground or the buildings erectedthereon.

President Maclaurin notes the es-tablishment of the Course in Engin-eering Administration during theyear after much careful discussion.The number registered for the coursethis year is Fifty-seven, "Some of itslarger possibilities," writes Dr. Mc-laurin, "may be indicated by thebrilliant achievements of the Insti-tute's alumni who have added en-gineering knowledge to skill in thehandling of business problems."

Under the caption of "Problems:or the Future," President Maclaurintakes up first the much discussedCo-operation with the State. In hisconcluding paragraph President Mc-laurin makes reference to the finan-cial problems of the future. Theprospects of Technology, he says,sre exceedingly bright and the ap-parent difficulties are not in the dis- Ptance but within the next few years.I'he condition of business has notnterfered with the payment of theargest gifts, but many others havebeen of necessity postponed. To ac-centuate the difficulty the stagnationn real estate may be expected topostpone the disposition of the In-stitute's holdings in Trinity Place,vh'ich with propriety had beenounted on when the policy of build-ng was outlined. Then there will Pie needed half-a-million for equip-nent, of which but little has been;iven. To these matters the atten-ion of the members of the Corpora-ion and the friends of Technology _s directed.
