The prize of fifteen dollars for the best, or we should say, for the most appropriate, design for the cover for our May Festival P rogram was awarded to Albert P. Fischer, a Pre-Junior, Mechanical Engineer. Mary Schuck re­ceived second prize and Lou Lawrence, th ird prize.

There were eight entries: four women and four men. It is Interesting to note th a t the committee had a great deal of difficulty in deciding which en try was the most appropriate. Those on the committee were Misses Godfrey and Lotz, and Messrs. Ryder and Spivey.

The Drexel ne tm en defeated the Del­aware tennis team in their first home m eet a t our courts. We had only one court in condition for play so both team s decided th a t they would play a th ree singles meet, in place of the four singles and two doubles m eet which would require more time than we had, playing on only one court.

B urkholder was playing in his old good form. He defeated Taylor of Del­aw are in a keenly contested three set

match.Klngdon, playing second singles, eas­

ily won the first se t of his match with Hoffecker of Delaware. Hoffecker came th rough In the second set and won and had a g reat advantage in the th ird set. Hoffecker seemed in a position to win w ith the games of the th ird set 5 to 2 in his favor and one set of the previous two to his credit. Klngdon came th rough with his old fight and won the se t by tak ing the next five games.

Smolen, playing th ird alngles for Drexel, lost to Pyle of Delaware by a narrow margin.

The Senior Ball Committee announces th a t the plans for the Senior Ball are now complete. There will be no especial Innovations In the details of the a rrangem en ts but the committee has spent more of their time in assuring the success of the event. The decorations will be r a th e r unusual in th a t they will consist mostly of flowers and greens. The Court will be decorated to repre­sent a spring garden. One feature of the decorative scheme will be a foun­tain. I t will be placed in operation by the firm which has the contract to do the decorating. This will assure its proper operation w ithout flooding the Court.

The music wll be furnished by Charlie F ry and his 15 piece recording orches­tra. The supper will be served on the th ird floor in two servings— a t 11 and 12. Miss Baker, who has charge of the s tudent house dining rooms, will super­vise this p a r t of the Ball. The exact n a tu re of the favors has not yet been divulged bu t the committee promises som ething entirely new for Drexel, The Ball will las t from 9 until 2,30. The chairm en of the committee are Rachael Reed and J. P. Allen.

The original Intention of the Student Activities Committee was to procure a Student Union for Drexel Insti tu te , pre­ferably a separate building. According­ly plans were made to create Interest In such a building, to flnance an un ­dertaking of th is kind, and to deter- j kingdom to malce her his wife.

This year the May Fete, Including the crowning of the May Qaeen, will take place In the form of a pageant called “ Springtim e” which is to be staged in the Great Court, Friday, May 3rd. No one will recognize the Court for it is going to be transform ed Into a lovely spring garden.

“Springtim e” Is based on the old Greek m yth which explained how we happen to have six m onths of warm weather and six m onths of cold. F o r those whose memory has failed them the following resum e will perhaps help them to recall th is story. Pluto, while tak ing in the upper a ir one day, en­countered Proserpine, the d augh te r of Mother E arth , and fell in love with her instantly.

DEAN RYDER ENTERTAINS OLD “TRIANGLE” STAFF

Austin, Tex.— At last a long-felt need has been filled. At the University of Texas they have a clasB th a t m eets ex­clusively for the purpose of spending Its hour in sleep.

Oh W ednesday evening, April 17, Dean Ryder enterta ined a t a dinner pa r ­ty the staff of the T b i a n g le a t the Coving­ton. Dr. and Mrs. Hall, E d ith Rood, the re tir ing editor, Lewis Oddy, the new editor, and twenty m em bers of the staff were present. D uring the d inner T ri ­angle Keys were presented by Miss Rood to Dr. Hall, Lewis Oddy, David Stamm, Olympia Pauxtls, Robert Spencer, Wil­liam Gunsallus, John Davidson and Nick Wendelboe for service on the m ajor staff during the past year.

'After dinner the party proceeded to Mr. Ryder’s ap ar tm en t where he be­came, a s always, the perfect host. After explaining his forthcom ing tr ip around the world a question and answer game with “ Petey” asking the questions was put forth. High score prizes were giv­en to Dr. Hall and David Stamm. This was followed by the presentation of sev­eral charades which kept everyone guessing. Last bu t not least were the delightful l ittle Incidents connected with his wonderful collection of pictures told In only Mr. Ryder’s own way.

The T b i a n o lb staff takes this oppor­tunity to th an k Mr. Ryder for a most enjoyable evening and wish him well on his coming trip.

mine the size, location, and cost of such a building. The flrst event was the Bridge T ournam ent and th is will be continued for several years, the pro­ceeds to be used for some worthy cause around the Institute .

A plan was outlined for a three-story building on the lot next to Curtis Hall costing 1250,000. This plan was pre­sented to the Trustees by Dr. Mathe­son a t the ir las t meeting. The T rus ­tees were pleased with the proposition and the Interest shown by the students. Unfortunately, when the lot next to Curtis Hall was purchased It was not proposed to put up a building of a permanent n a tu re on it. This, together with the fact th a t there Is no o ther available lot and tha t Drexel will prob­ably be forced to move within the next five years effectively prohibits erecting a building a t the present time.

Under these circumstances the definite object of the Committee will be to aid In the a ltering and furnishing of Men’s and W omen’s lounge rooms w ithin the present buildings. Dr. Matheson hea r t ­ily approves of this objective and has already secured 15,000 for this purpose. Plans have been formed to a lte r Ran­dell Hall and tu rn this into a Men’s Lounge. A lunch room has also been proposed to be Installed in the base­ment of Randell Hall, which will be for the men. A survey of the building Is being made a t the present time to find a suitable location for the W omen’s Lounge and will be announced later.

The estimated cost of a ltering and furnishing these rooms is 125,000. This amount m ust be procured th rough the co-operation of the studen ts If they desire social rooms. Dr. Matheson has fo.OOO of the needed money now and it Is up to the s tudents to supply the rest. Deflnlte means of obtaining this money will be presented to the s tudents a t a late r date.

tunately ne ither the young lady or her mother approved of the proceedings and the form er refused to ea t and the la tter , in her so-called r ighteous w ra th , caused a blight to fall on all living th ings of the plant world. Finally the husband and mother-in-law compromised, P ro ­serpine was to live six m onths with her husband and six months with her mother. The six months she lived with her husband correspond to the months of au tum n and winter and the six months she spent with her m other cor­respond to the m onths of spring and summer, (By the way, Proserpine per­sonifies spring.)

Perhaps It would lend a l ittle spice to this myth if mention is made of those who are playing the various parts , so here goes: Pluto, B ertha Anderson: Proserpine, the May Queen, Ann W il­liams; Ceres (Mother E a r th ) , last y e a r ’s May Queen, Helen Miliken: Cupid, John Arnett, J r . ; W inter, Mary Stone: W ate r Nymph, E sther Koons, and North Wind, Bertha Picard. In the course of the pageant there will appear flower girls, a fairy, Grecian Maidens, Snow Balls, Greek Athletes, May Pole Dancers, etc.

The T rian^e— Onr Cre«d

We believe in Drexel, its traditions and aims.We believe in school organizations th a t support the

school.We believe the studen ts should have more influence in

affairs concerning their school, with the privilege of ex­pressing their unbiased views.

We believe th e Triangle should serve to unite the Faculty and Student Body toward a fulfillment of one grand aim — achievement.

EDITORIALLY SPEAKING

ProhibitionProhibition, a law against drinking, is a much-talked-aboui

subject today, i t is used as a foundation for sermon.s. and is also the seed from which many jokes have grown. Late hours and drinking have increased tremendously since the Volstead Act came into existence. The country has become so saturated with the “party fever” and the numerous other pleasures (7) indulged in today that it is beginning to believe that this con­dition may po.ssibly be all right and that the “youth of today" is all right.

The so-called “youth of today” drinks for two reasons, each so weak that they should shame those so convicted.

11 1 The momentary thril l that one receives from the participation in any illegal practice. The knowledge that one is treating their country, and laughing at it. in a game in which victory for the people is their loss.

• 2) The longing for gayety. A substi tute for the wit and mirth that so few possess, but all desire. A quick stimulant, helping to produce the thrill of indecency.

On this basis Prohibition becomes a moral issue. It shows the need of injecting the desire to do right, ra ther than a t ­tempting to use force in stopping that which is not right. As long as our public officials resort to physical methods in an effort to curtail drinking, just so long will drinking continue. As soon as the mental side is brought from its “dust-covered hiding place" and the country is educated into seeing the evils of drinking, then we can look for the right kind of happi­ness, the right kind of pleasure, and find it.

Hey, Frosh!It appears tha t the Freshmen have not as yet grasped

the full significance of what they are expected to do. They con.=ider the paying of dues a huge joke, when, as a m atter of fact, it is an extremely serious matter. Perhaps some of them have not fully realized for what purpose these dues are col­lected. For their benefit the following summary of Freshmen Class expenses will enlighten them on this subject;

$10.00 Building Fund25.00 “Lexerd" compliments75.00 Deposits for orchestra and hall for dance25.00 Advertising for dance

100.00 Balance to be maintained in Treasury

$233.00 Total, minimum needed in the Treasury And. of course, there are many miscellaneous expenses

that must be covered also.We hope, after th is more or less detailed explanation,

tha t those dues which have been heretofore slow in being paid will be more quickly forthcoming.

Come on, boys, you are Freshmen, not Scotchmen.F b e s u m .w P bi» id en t .

Mentis et CorpusOne of the famous sayings ascribed to Napoleon is that

“an army moves on its stomach.” By the same reasoning, a student body learns on Its stomach. In the rapid-fire, catch- as-catch-can system of education made necessary by our mod­ern life, health is a most important factor. The health of the student must take the punishment of late hours and insuf­ficient exercise and fresh air, and still stand up. And health is determined, more than most people realize, by what one eats, and how.

Wherefore, be it resolved that Drexel men need and should have lunch rooms somewhere within the school build­ing. This idea is entirely practical, and needs only student effort to put it across. We have it on good authority tha t Miss Chambers, manager of the cafeteria, would be willing to run a lunch room for men, where liquid refreshments and light lunch could be sold a t cost.

The evils of the locker room as an eating place are apparent to anyone. It is hot, dirty, poorly ventilated, corri­dors are narrow and congested, and there are no tablqe or chairs whatever. At least we haven’t seen any except broken ones. Any room would be a big improvement over the locker room until we get our new activities building. With a lunch room, such as all the city high schools have, those who bring their lunch would have a decent place to eat it in, and could supplement it with whatever they wished, or could get their lunch without going outside the building. There are many other advantages that your imagination can easily picture.

It might be well to say that the student leaders, Dr. Mattheson and .Mr. Ryder are trying to get a lounge and rest room for the men in some of the unused engineering class rooms. We need both a lunch room and a lounge room, and the student body can get them by showing a lit tle active interest.

“ It is not foolish to assume that many captains of indus­try of the future will hark back to their early training in theatres such as the Mastbaum.” from the “Mastbaum Theatre Weekly Review.*’ Ju s t make it your duty to shake hands with every movie usher you encounter. It may be your first and last chance to greet a future President, or even a shirt sales­man of promise.

We wonder If some people pray only when they are under­going a terrible ordeal and closely threatened with death.

Shipwrecked explorers are, to our mind, the most serious offenders—when they do pray it is always featured in the newspapers.

The associate editor of “Varsity News,” from the University of Detroit, said the following: “The President’s dictum Is the greatest thing to come to U. of D. In years. The co-eds way­lay and harass the male students. They destroy the studious and scholarly atmosphere of the college," in connection with the ban In effect tha t calls for expulsion of a girl found con­versing with a male student.

Well, th a t Is terrible news: There Is a college that boasts of something apart from college life, studies, at the cost of the females. Imagine a poor girl with not a fellow to talk to. We can 't go on. It Is so sad.

We have often wondered, though It is none of our business. as to the thought In a girl’s mind when she considers having her hair bobbed. W hether it is done on account of lack of patience or with the expectation of added beauty is our prob­lem. and do those sporting long hair with that “out last night appearance” do so because they like it. or are they broke?

One of our downtown department stores tells their em­ployees that “Courtesy Is the cheapest thing In the world,” thus tumbling the Scotchmen from their undisputed position of years’ standing.

We will confess that the bi-monthly edition of this column has often caused us some worry, but only temporarily. We cheer ourselves up by thinking of those whose life task and means of sustenance consists in filling a newspaper column every day. They probably think of their six cents a word and thus “carry on."

Dr. J. F. Williams, the physical director at Teachers’ Col­lege, New York, has come forward with a rather frank state­ment tha t morning setting-up exercises are “silly, supersti­tious and artificial;” he adds that no “magic benefits” are derived. As a sort of climax to these statements he tells us that the proper way is “to start the day leisurely and have some poise about what we do.”

Such an announcement will probably bring about an adver­tising war between the parents of Big and Little Ben and those advocating no exercis^£. upon arising, other than that required to brush the teeth for take them out of a glass).

Radio announcers are really the class to be pitied, and If they should convince the world that what the doctor says is true, then they could sleep till i t ’s time for the menus and market reports.

His last remark is one that, to our mind, contradicts his whole theory. We wonder if he ever returned from an evening of hilarity at a time when those four o’clock disturbers of sleep are bouncing loaves of bresul off windows and rolling bottles of milk down the steps, put In as much sleep as possible in an hour and a half's time, and arise at five-thirty to start another day. In fact, we challenge anybody to show a suitable amount of poise In such a predicament.

To our mind there Is some sort of irony in the Bible quo­tation that is a feature of the “Daily News.” We wonder if it is to imply a power that can counteract the other more startling features.

An old acquaintance has endeared herself to us by her persistent criticism of our various sarcasms. In fact, we appre­ciate it so much that we seriously contemplate renewing our friendship to at least as great extent as it was some months ago!

• • • •

We feel extremely grateful for the encouragement we re­ceived in our recent “novel” contest, and are sure that if you were given a little more practice at that sort of thing you would be a success. The 168 letters received were earnest en­deavors, true enough, but rather than lower the calibre of this column and give the winner the satisfaction that would go with the announcement of her name, and thus stop further efforts on her part, we refrain from making the name public.

If there are signs of better answers to our “novel” contest, this feature will be continued; if not, it will have to be dis­pensed with.

Store windows and their displays are very fascinating to us but somehow a sense of disgust and even despair comes over us when we glance through a pane of glass into the faces of— probably twenty clocks,— and each telling a dif­ferent hour.

Sometime ago we chanced to hear a conversation between a young couple on their way home, a t the close of the work­ing day. It seemed tha t they bad a lot in common th a t needed discussing and it also served to keep us awake. He had received a neck-tie as a token of Christmas spirit from a friend and really did not like it. Being of a th rifty nature his next move was to exchange It for something more be­coming. The sad part of the transaction came when the young fellow found that the original purchaser cared for him sixty-five cents worth. Our speaker, in o rder to let his fudience know just how much he was overcome, next ex­claimed, "I almost died." Well, we almost laughed in his face, almost. Before leaving the car we decided to experi­ment with the young man and see Just how tender he was, so as we got up we very cleverly stepped on his feet, but were agreeably surprised. He did not die, faint, or become excited, but was still ta lk ing as we waved good-bye.

What is supposed to have been the first daily newspaper, the Dally Courant, was published In England 227 years ago. Their editorial policy favored no personal comment in that people were supposed to have “ sense enough to make their own refiections.” We wonder if there are any Drexel s tu ­dent that make reflections o^her than following tbe style?

THE REVIEWER’S PENCILThe praises of the Civic Repertory group have been sung

so often, so loudly and so Insistently that it is difficult to find new phrases to describe them. It seems sufficient to say that they equal the Theatre Guild, their senior by seven years, in almost every detail.

Tchekov’s “The Cherry Orchard” Is probably more familiar to American audiences than any other Russian play. It is admittedly one of the best of the Russian playwright’s, and although it has certain weaknesses, it still ranks high in the field of modern drama. The play has in It much that has come to be considered by America as typically Russian—the overthrow of old leaders for new ones of peasant stock, students philosophizing in a ra ther “half-baked” fashion, and temperamental women. But more than any of these, it is a reflection of human personality, presented in such a fashion that one thinks and feels with them. Therein lies Its great­ness.

I t requires almost the entire first act for a person un­familiar with the play to become aware of what is going on. But from the time one is fully conscious of all the characters, there is hardly one dull moment. The exception to that state­ment is the occasional ramblings of the “perennial s tudent” on the question of life’s purpose. These are neither enlighten­ing nor Intensely Interesting. Perhaps the character Is Tchekov’s safety valve. At least he serves the purpose of conflning such meanderings to a limited sphere, and not allow­ing them to wander all over the play, as In “Dynamo”.

Possibly those who saw the Moscow Art Theatre play “The Cherry O rchard” will complain of the work of Le Gal- lienne and her company. But I th ink not. The cast as a whole was impressive. Alla Nazlmova, as Madame Ranevsky, played with well-modulated force, and although her ra ther harsh voice grated a t times. It was not oppressive. Sayre Crawley, as Firs, the old valet, to whom the passing of the estate comes hand In hand with death, gave what seemed to us the outstanding characterization.

In other words (and fewer), “The Cherry Orchard” was to us one of the most enjoyable plays of the year.

The other play to engage the attention of the Civic Repertory was Barrie’s "Peter Pan”. While to most of the world Peter Is a real and living personality, he was to us. a myth. We must admit tha t despite the charm of Le Gallienne’s portrayal, he still seems a little hazy and unbelievable.

The audience a t the Broad seemed to enter into the spirit of the comedy much more completely, for when Peter pleaded for the life of Tlnkerbell the applause was considerable. The most interesting thing to us was seeing those people float around the half-darkened stage on pulleys, or wires, or what­ever was rigged up for their convenience.

In order to completely enjoy “Peter Pan” it seems neces­sary to enter the Broad as a little child. For only then can you enter into the spirit of Peter and Wendy and the big bad pirates. For those who find such a transformation difficult. If not Impossible, Barrie’s play can always be characterized as charming, if nothing else.

The Civic Repertory is repeating both these plays this week, and despite the effort of the Drexel Institute to pull a Barrie, they deserve your attentions. They are playing, as well. Andreyef’s “Katerina” and “The Lady from Alfaqueque”, by the Quinteros. D. H. D.

JealousyJealousy—how often have you noticed that the jealous per­

son is always the one in need? They are jealous, though, not because of this lack, but due to their own lack of spirit that, when properly exerted in another, brings that which causes jealousy.

The successful person is helped to an even higher plane, due to the unjust criticism made by those desiring to see his downfall. It is an established fact that the man tha t sets the pace and causes the world to marvel has to contend with the resistance of those envious of his progress.

An average person, as judged from his or her accomplish­ments, is characterized by their lack of imitators, but when slander and jealousy start, then it is known that an enviable fame has just preceded It.

These attacks are merely signs of success, and while the one Is conquered through his own greed, the other goes on to newer heights and greater success. That which Is good and great can and will stand, no m atter how unjust and cruel the clamor of denial.

T h e E ditob.

OLD CURIOSITY CORNERSuch things as these are interesting. W’hy? Is It because

they are In Drexel’s museum? Certainly not! Because they represent an advanced stage in art? Most certainly not, for they don’t. Indeed, they are not at all beautiful; even, some­times, hideous. I t would be hard to find a pretty one to sleep with, any of them might weave themselves Into your night­mares. After all, then, what good are such articles? One looks at them and wonders why people wasted so much time making them.

You see it was this way. Long, long ago, huge nuiHtodons rambled over Siberia and Africa. The time came, for ouoh one of these mastodons, when it m ust die. But no good muHtodon ever wanted to die; Instead it committed suicide by Jumping off a cliff or into a bowl of quicksand.

Ages passed and the mastodon flesh went back to its ele ­ments, while new flesh came down on top of it. But, preserved almost forever in the earth , huge mastodon Ivory tusks lay buried. Then people came and dug them up and began to carve things out of them, and from th a t time to the end of the sixteenth century ivory carving was the most important way to express art.

Mr. George W. Childs has collected ivories from all over the world and given them to Drexel, where you can see them.

Ivory is the stuff that the dentist meets after his drill has gone through the enamel. Most of the Ivory today comes from the deposits In Siberia. Some of the tusks that have been found are twelve feet in length and weigh over two hundred pounds each. Ivory Is also obtained from the walrus and the hippopotamus. Dug-up ivory is called dead, while that from animals recently killed Is live. Instead of being stiff and brittle, as you think it is. ivory is very elastic and is often used for making riding whips. Ivory is also used for making piano keys, mental lapses, billiard balls, clubs, soap, etc. Which three in that list do not apply literally to ivory? You'd be surprised!

After holding their own In all the palaces of the great ever since history sprouted. Ivory carvings are now donated to museums. Craftsmanship in Ivory reached its high point of excellence at the end of the thirteenth century, and then de­clined. The work was continued during the next two centuries, but its quality decreased. Today we can hardly appreciate the tremendous amount of work done on the carvings, for a r t Is now simple and original, and the intricate and painstaking work of the past is forgotten.

Some of the best work ever done In ivory Is right here in Drexel. We have a large case full of carvings of a high grade of ivory. The work is of divers types and nationalities, and some of It is very hard to explain. Why. for instance, carve a skeleton holding a baby? Or shouldn’t you look at it that way?

The tags, yellow in color, bore the name and year of graduation of the a lum nus and if he or she were a life m em ber of the Association it had a large gold s ta r a ttached: if m aking pay­m ents toward life membership, a large blue star, and if paying annual dues, a small red s ta r was a ttached. The cards were picture post cards showing the Oreat Court, w'here the supper was held, and on the address side w’as printed the menu. Those a ttend ing the supper were requested to send the ir card to some ab­sent Drexel a lum nus suggesting that they .should Join us on the next alumni day.

They were then directed to Curtis Hall, the new engineering building pre­sented by Mr. Cyrus H. K. Curtis, w'here \Vm. J. Stevens, ’20, and his assistant guides, H. D. Baker, E. B. Middleton. P. J.

There were seventeen in attendance. Follow­ing the d inner Miss Worrell told of the progress being made a t the Institute and especially of the work being done by Drexel Alumni Clubs th roughout the country. At nine-thirty the group was pleasantly surprised when Mr. Ryder appeared a t the door as few of them knew he was in W ashington a ttend ing a convention of Deans of Men. It will be remembered th a t two years ago the Washington Drexel Club sent a scholar­ship girl to the Insti tu te and wMth their growing Club we should hear more of their activities in the near future.

Thompson and Muriel Titus, s tudents In Home Economics, and E sther C. Williams, a s tuden t in Business Administration. The newly elected officers of the Club are: President, M argaret Bartholomew, Vice President, Mrs. li. Blodgett, Sec­re tary , Sarah L. Neely, T reasurer, Lil­lian A. Hines. Delegates to the Execu­tive Committee for a th ree year term , M. Dorothy Lewis. Mary E. O’Neill, Francis W right. The o ther m embers of the Committee are Miss Adele M. Beck, Miss Bertha A. Helms, Miss Isabelle Bronk, Miss M argaret Bartholomew, Miss Elizabeth Coleman. Mrs. L. B. Blodget and H arr ie t E. Worrell.

Supper was served in the Court a t 6.45 p. m. Instead of being seated at tab les last year’s plan was again used. Classroom chairs, with arm s for holding the plates, were placed in groups in the Court. This enabled the classes to ga the r together in a more sociable way and to ta lk with all of their friends present. D uring th^ meal Edward H. Heilman, ’34, played a xylophone solo. Singling of Drexel and o ther popular Hongs was led by Tom Mather, ’27, with George T. Ney, ’33, a t the piano.

Im mediately following supper a short busiaess m eeting was held in the Audi­torium with the President, George B. Roberts in the chair. The secretary. Mias M. Elizabeth DarUngton, read the minutes of the last meeting. The Treas­u rer, C. L. Johnson, presented an in ­form al report. The Alumni Secretary, Miss W orrell, presented the following report.

During the past year the Alumni Of- fl<‘e has:

1. Published an Alumni Register,— the second lu the history of the Inatl- tute. Five hundred dollars, or almost oikB-hair of the expense of printing this

bulletin was donated by the Institute.

2. With the Alumnae Club held the second annual card party a t the Penn Athletic Club in November.

3. Held ano ther successful dance in the Great Court in January .

4. Sent a le tter to our 3000 non-active g raduates and some 1000 non-graduates soliciting their co-operation and active membership. In terested members of the Association contributed $G5 toward the expense of these letters. To date the response has been 73 new members. 23 of whom are non-graduates.

5. A St. P a tr ick ’s Party was held in the P icture Gallery in March.

6 . The Alumni Dramatic Club pre ­sented “ Nothing But tb^ T ru th ” in the Auditorium on April 5. The opinion has been expressed th a t this should be repeated In the fall with a large alumni attendance.

7. W hen your a lum ni secretary under­took the direction of the a lumni work in January , 1925, there had been a membership of 438, including 33 life members and about 100 m aking life membership payments. There was $1697 in the life membership fund for perm anent Investment. One year ago we had 126 life members, 162 paying life membership and 755 annual m em ­bers, a total of 1023. At present we have 168 life members, 180 m aking life membership payments and 811 annual members, a total of 1159. We have $8116.75 in the life membership fund, an increase of $2000 since last Alumni Day. To work effectively our Associa­tion should have a t least $50,000 in ­vested in this perm anent fund and it Is my hope th a t before the end of my fifth year of service. January , 1930, we may have increaed the fund to $ 10,000 or more.

8 . The Drexel Clubs already estab ­lished are doing good work and it is our aim to have o ther Drexel groups organized during the year.

9. Due to the cost of Installing flies for our a lumni records, the p r in ting of the a lumni register, and the expense of building up our a lumni organization we have a deficit of approximately $ 1 200 , of which we owe the Insti tu te $800; $400 for postage and $400 for the printing of the register. The o ther $400 was borrowed from our life membership fund for files and o ther office equip­ment. If our active alumni group will help secure additional members, and support the alumni play, the dance, card party, and other activities th a t may be planned during the coming year, this deficit should be removed before next alumni day. We most cordially appre­ciate the Interest and co-operation shown by our active alumni, but a fte r a group has worked hard to plan for a party or to rehearse a play, have you a/lways done your best to sell t ickets to your friends, Drexel or otherwise? I t is this co-operation th a t we need a t this time. May we have your support?

A few years ago a small group of Drexel

women <>f Pliiiadelphla and vicinity or­

ganized the Drexel Institute Alumnae

Club of Philadelphia for the purpose of

bringing our alumnae, faculty and stu ­

dents closer together and to promote the

interests of the Institute. Realizing the

need for ilnanclal assistance for our

worthy women students who are earning

all or a large part of their college ex­

penses, they resolved to build up a schol­

arship fund. Under their plan the schol­

arship granted the student is applied on

her tuition fee and she gives a few hours week clerical service In the Alumni

Office in re turn for this financial help. In this way there is nothing to be paid back to the Club after graduation, but the girls who have bud this assistance are helping build up the fund so more girls cun be helped. The Club has held two bazaars and card parties, sold Christmas cards and stockings and with the help of cash contributions has built up a perma­nent fund of over $1500, which is invest­ed and the Income only used for scholar­ship purposes. In addition, they are al­ways ready to receive orders for en­graved visiting cards, printed or em­bossed stationery, and magazine sub­scriptions, and the commission on these orders is added to the scholarship fund. Any Drexel woman, alumna, trustee wife, fuculty member, faculty wife, or student Is eligible to membership on the pay­ment of the yearly dues of $1. The Tieasurer will be glad to receive your membership fee. The dues are used to cover the cost of postage and incidental expenses, and any surplus Is added to the scholarship fund. In early October the Club gave a luncheon to the new women students as their welcome into our Drexel family. The officers and Executive Committee for the coming year are as follow’s:

President— Margaret Bartholomew

Vice-President— Mrs. L. Blodgett

Secretary— Sarah L. Neely

Treasurer—Lillian A. Hines.

Delegates to Executive Committee— Terms expiring 1930, Miss Adele M. Beck, Miss Bertha A. Helms, Miss Isabelle Bronk; terms expiring 1931, Miss Marga­ret Bartholomew, Miss Elizabeth Cole­man, Mrs. L.

“ It was certainly thoughtfu l of yon to remem ber me ano ther year with an Invitation to come to Alumni Day, .\pr.27. 1 have not the least idea th a t any ­thing will be tak ing me to the East at that time of the year. If it were, 1 would doubtless look in for a little while and speak to you to express again, and perhaps more fully than I do in this note, my sincere appreciation of this reminder.

‘‘Within the past two or th ree weeks, I have had two callers here who took the trouble to look me up and sit down to chat with me for a little while. One of them was a g raduate of engineering in the class of 1918, and the o ther a ?raduate from a machine construction course, 1 th ink as far back as 1903. I am telling you this merely because you will see th a t the Drexel Ins ti tu te asso- •latlons of the past still follow me, and I have the pleasure of occasionally re ­newing friendships with a t least a few )f the young people whom I knew so many years ago.

Cordially,A rthur J. Rowland.”

Drexel Ins t i tu te Dear Friends:

It is with deep regret th a t I cannot be with you on th is—our tenth anniver­sary. Nothing would please me more, however, than to hear In a fu ture date th a t each and every member of our class have pledged “ Life Membership” In the Alumni 'Association. This is indeed an appropria te time to show your spirit for Drexel.

Mr. Curtis has been very generous with his endowments to Drexel and I am sure we are all very gra tefu l to him.

I was glad to read recently that Drex­el Is a leader in the educational field, it is encouraging to hear our Alma Mater s tands for progress. I am enjoy­ing the T r i a x ( i i . k —especially the Alumni Notes, but find very few news Items con­cerning our class. I am guilty! Are you?

In closing I wish to extend an In­v itation to you and yours to visit us a t Springfield— should you m otor th ru .\ew England this summer. You will enjoy the plcture.sque Berkshires as well as a chat with a class mate.

Very truly yours,

PARTY FOR MAY QUEEK

To climax the day of surprises for

Ann W^illlams, the girls of “ 214” gave

her a party. Ann was taken to the

Mastbaum T heatre by her playmates,

Florence Loftiis, Mary Louise Rumford,

Kay Clark and Marian Brosnan. For a

reason unknown to Ann, the girls were

asked to be back a t the hou.se by 10.15.

While they were away the o ther girls

of the house prepared everything for the party.

The whole event was a complete su r ­

prise to Ann. “ Flo” Loftus was mistress

of ceremonies. Every one did her bit

to add to the fun. The s ta r num ber on

the program was the “ Frosh Q uarte t” in a close harmony number.

'Peg Maitland was chairm an of the

refreshm ent committee, and we are all rooting for “ Peg” .

erable committees and partic ipa ted In a g reat variety of activities. Fo r the past two years she has been the House C hair ­man of “ 214" and In all probability she will again succeed herself in th is office for the ensuing year. Ann is also the Chairm an of the Studen t House Board, which is one of the most im portant positions a girl can hold a t Drexel.

This Is the first year th a t the May Queen has been announced before the May Fete. In past years the announce­m ent and crowning took place a t the May Fete. This year this custom has been abolished in view of the fact th a t the May Queen has been given quite an extensive part in the Fete necessitating a num ber of rehearsals . The crowning of the Queen will be a part of the May Fete.

The election for this y ear’s May Queen was held on April 13. She Is elected by a m ajority vote of all of the girls In the school. She must be a m em ber of the Ju n io r Class.

WOMENS' TRACK TEAM FORMING

Frrahmcn Elicit the Most Interest. Tennis Toum am rnt on Field Day

MISS PAXTI8 AWARDED

NEWMAN KEY

Very little is ever heard of the wo­m en’s a th le tics in the spring term. P e r ­haps the above sta tem en t should be amended as follows— not much is made of wom en’s sports a t any time and the spring time especially. I t will in terest you to know th a t besides the annual spring sports, i. e., riding, archery, fenc­ing, shooting, tennis, swimming, the g reates t of the spring sports— track— is being boosted th is year.

I t seems this term th a t a few peppy individuals have elicited enough in te r ­est to a t least come out and give the th ing a try. Indeed the num ber of wo­men who have tu rned out to practice looks hopeful for women’s track in fu ­tu re years a t Drexel. The events th a t are being stressed this term are the high jump, the running broad jum p and the ru n n in g hop, step and jump, besides the dash and relays.

Unfortunately t rack was organized too late to enable the women to compete fo r prizes on Field Day this year but if the In terest shown by the women s tu ­dents proves to be of pe rm anen t n a tu re It Is expected th a t they shall be awarded prizes also a f the next Athletic Carni­val.

One of the g reates t obstacles to the development of t rack for women Is the May Fete, The women tire so easily th a t they cannot b ring themselves to take p a r t in the May Fete program and then to participate in the events a t the F ield the next day, especially if they a ttend the Senior Ball, B ut if they were going away for the week-end tha t Sa turday they would no t be fatigued.

Our hope lies in this year’s f resh ­men and with the incoming freshmen. I t is for them to decide w he ther the Drexel women will hold a place among the women in o ther colleges in the line of sports.

The following sororities have elected their officers for the coming year: Delta Sigma Epsilon— President, Mary Fellows: Vice President, Dorothy Happs; Recording Secretary, M artha K rastings; Corresponding Secretary, Sally Simpson; Treasurer, Alice W hite ; Chaplain, Pau l ­ine McDonald; Sergeant, Leanore W ag­ner: Historian, Marion Dixon.

The aim of the competition is not to b r in g fo r th learned trea tises on the h igher education, bu t to obtain records of personal experiences.

The competition Is open to th e s tuden ts of all American colleges of good repute.

The contest Is open to all college boys and girls enrolled In American colleges as undergraduates and to g raduates of not more than one year. The story may or may not be an autobiography bu t it m ust deal with college life and college people; i t m ust be a story of youth seen th rough the eyes of Its own generation.

The sum of |3 ,000 is for the r igh t to serialize the story in College Humor and to publish it in book form, and will be in addition to all royalties ac­cruing from the book publication.

Motion picture and dram atic righ ts will remain with the author.

Dragons Defeated By City College

Wnlks nnd E r ro rs BrlnK in Four Runs fo r City College

Last Sa turday a t the Lewlsohn Stadium In New York City, City Col­lege defeated the Dragons, 7-2. The game was played in a steady rain which kept up for the entire nine innings, but which failed to discourage e ither team. The day was be tte r for frogs than base- ballers as th e players were drenched to the skin a f te r the first inning.

Irv ing Fanser, the stocky New York­er, held the Blue and Gold to six hits and these were scattered throughout the nine innings. Roger Kean and Bill Marnie held the City College boys to six hits, bu t K ean’s wild streak In the th ird fram e paved the way for his down­fall.

Two innings elapsed before e ither team scored. The Dragons scored one In the th ird when Robinson singled and journeyed to th ird while Blum threw out Calhoun. Robinson scored when Joe Hospador laid down a perfect bunt along the th ird base line.

The Lavenders came back in their half of the Inning and scored four runs a f te r two were out. Two walks, three e rro rs and a single were responsible for these runs.

Bill Marnie took up the burden in the fifth, and the only h i t from his delivery was Musicant’s double over the r ight field fence in the eighth.

Danny Redmond turned his trick knee In the second inning and had to be car­ried off the field. In an a ttem pt to catch Hospador’s high peg in fielding

LIEUT, K E L L Y ASSUM ES NEW ROLE A T DREXEL

Another medal for Lieut, Kelly, I t seems that among his other duties a t Drexel he is now Detective Sergeant Kelly, In the future whenever you have thieves to catch, old ladies to help across streets or extra apples on your fruit stand, call on the Lieutenant.

A few days ago Lieut. Kelly was seated peacefully a t his desk in the Military Office, busily engaged in doing whatever military professors do in their off time. In the course of gazing out of the win­dow, no doubt admiring the view, his glance rested for a moment on a scene be­low, and instantly he was galvanized Into action. What he saw was enough to galvanize anybody.

Freddy, the electrician, had just bought a new radiator for his car. A gentleman of color, perceiving this shining object, desired it. With him, to desire was to act, and it was a t this junction tha t the penetrating gaze of the aforementioned Kelly wandered that way.

We hope tha t the Lieutenant consid­ered his mission, the enemy, conditions favorable and unfavorable, etc., but any­way he advanced rapidly upon said en­emy. The rest of this must be short. After one glance a t tha t snappy military strlder, the black boy surrendered. He was escorted to the station house, where he was wel 1 received by many old friends. In uniform and out.

MANY ATTEND COUNCIL SMOKER

Dr. Miithcson nnd Dr. >Inc'>luIIiin Spenk

Supper Ser\-pd by Co-ods

The annual sm oker given by the Men’s S tudent Council was held on Saturday evening, April 20, in the Great Court. This t ime-honored event looked forward to by studen ts and faculty alike, compared favorably in every way with its predecessors, and every one present enjoyed himself. This is the only time when all the men s tuden ts and mem­bers of the faculty can meet together as college men, and it has an atmosphere all its own.

The supper was served by a number of fa ir and very efficient waitresses, whose presence added just the right touch to the occasion. This a r ran g e ­m ent was much more satisfactory than the fo rm er one, as every one was served at about the same time. The meal con­sisted of chicken croquette, peas, pota ­toes, coffee, ice cream and cake. Smokes were passed around during the course of the meal. One of the songs sung w’as “T h a t’s My W eakness Now,” and when Mr. Ryder was requested to sing the chorus, he replied, “ I have no weak­ness.”

Dr. Matheson was Introduced and gave a few brief rem arks expressing his regret a t not being able to get ac­quainted w^lth the s tudents , and told several of his in te resting experiences in Russia.

A fter several songs, “ Doc” MacMul- lan, of the Business School, was in tro ­duced as the champion flag-pole s it te r and several o ther things, which you can easily guess, if you know him. He spoke on a much neglected subject in Drexel— school spirit, or as he called it, o rganiza­tion a tt i tude , and sounded a timely warning of our responsibilities as m em ­bers of the Drexel organization, especi­ally to oncoming freshm en of next fall.

A colored gentleman of parts en te r ­tained the assemblage with jokes and songs, and the program was completed with singing of “ Hail Drexel In s t i tu te” and “ The Marching Song,” and a loco­motive yell for Drexel.

CONGRESS PLANNED

This sum m er an im portan t in te rna ­tional s tuden t congress will meet in Budapest, Hungary , from August 10th to 24th. This will be the eleventh annual congress of the Confederation In terna tiona le des E tu d ian ts (C. I. E.) of which about thirty-six nations are m em bers th rough their national unions of s tudents . The National S tudent Fed ­eration of America is a m em ber of this In te rna tiona l Confederation of S tudents and will there fo re be represented a t the Budapest Congress.

Founded in 1919 a t Strasbourg, France, because of the need for the co­

operation of the youth of the world, the

Confederation In terna tiona le des E tu ­diants convenes annually In Congress to discuss concrete means of prom oting in ternational s tudent cooperation. It is the belief of this s tuden t organiza ­tion th a t the best way to fu r th e r in te r ­national understand ing is th rough act­ual co-operative activities in which the s tuden ts of various countries m ust work together. Such activities have been to promote s tuden t self-help, in ternational s tuden ts’ sana torium , an in te rna tiona l Book Bureau, in te rna tiona l university games, and studen t travel. The two weeks of the annual congress are spent, therefore, not in theoretical discussion of peace or politics, but instead in pro­m oting the activities which will create in te rna tiona l understand ing among the youth of the world.

SPRING GARDEN PHARMACY

33rd and Spring Gtrden Sts.

According to the present plans of the Electrical Engineering Departm ent this school will have, next fall, one of the best and most completely equipped high tension laboratories of any schools In this section of the county. The labora­tory will be located in the new Curtis Hall. The most im portan t piece of equipm ent to be installed In it will be a 300,000 volt a l te rna t ing cu rren t test set. According to the General E lectric Co. which is fu rn ish ing this piece of equipment, Drexel will be one of the few schools having this type of testing set. Another appara tus capable of sup­plying the same Voltage direct curren t will also be installed.

Of the two small room6 ad jo in ing the laboratory, one will be used as a s tand ­ards room while the o ther will be used as a private laboratory for the profes­sors.

Another feature to be Incorporated In the E.E. departm en t will be the offer­ing of a course in the principles of re ­lays. Drexel will be one of the first schools in the country to offer a course of this type to its students. The E.E. departm en t has felt th a t in view of the num erous uses to which relays a re be­ing put in the past few years, such a course will be a valuable addition to thp curriculum of their departm ent.

Most of the new equipment, includ­ing a num ber of types of relays, has been ordered and it is expected th a t it will be In place before the end of the sum m er term.
