: ~Made Long Ago

In 1881, when THE TECH was firstIissued, it came out in the form of amagazine, issued on alternateWednresday s during the school year.It wvas anl expensive publication, cost-ingT fifteen cents per copy, and con-tained as a p~art of its regular fea-tures scientific discussions of modernlinvenltions and biographies of men ofinterest in the Institute.

Early in its life it gave voice to acomplaint conacerning practical jokers.In those days, it seemed, the Insti-tute harbored a number of studentswho wel e made ideally happy at acllance to poulr Lvater on tlle seats ofthe chair s and stools, or anl oppsortu-nityx of dropoping old junlk dovwn tllebackss of ullwitting stlldellts.

ORIENTING UNDERGRADUATEST HE Institute Curriculum is a rather peculiar collection of

a thousand and one differing and conflicting motives.Each course has within itself, aside from its tangible aspects,the power to broaden the character of the student, yet noneis performing this admirable service, if it may be called such,as much as the English Department.

We must admit that this branch of our undergr aduatestudy is entirely distinct from any other course at Technology.The study of literature or history is an excellent encourage-ment to discussion, argument, and the expression of opinion.The personal viewpoint is honored with the view-point of thephilosophers, stimulating the development of the reasoningpower s, and the creation of self-reliance. Theme writingaffords a new field for character developing, not only inthe actual presentation of material, but also in the confer-ences weith the instructor. The entire scope of the subject con-stitutes a mrnpnt,.l reflief fro-m the lon-n 'hmirg zsnpnt on scien-tific matters, and refreshes our reasoning powers to a degreethat we may attack our main courses with renewed fervFor.

English is practically the only course where the instructorand the student may venture into a "bull session". The in-structor who understands Technology and who appreciates themisgivings of the undergraduate from the spiritual ratherthan from the physical point of view, can serve to orient theentering freshm~an on his career of four years as a studentof the higher sciences, and in this capacity, as a sor't offaculty adviser, he is offered a means ofc instilling the Insti-tute attitude in the men who come here fresh fromt thepreparatory school ideas and outlook.

Perhaps mor e than we realize, our' pr esent positions inTechnology affairs were made possible by the English Depart-ment.. For this assistance, given as unconsciously as it wlasreceived, we would extend a belated but sincere thanks.

The alchemists of the past were, 'of course, responsible formost of the hoodwinking, sincer e or otherwrise, that wascarried on ill those days.

It wnas,however, almost from its beginning so allied with magic, as-trology, and superstition, and so encr usted with fantasticalnotions that under the hands of the unscrupulous it soonbecame an extraordinarily effective agency for preying upionthe credulity and vanity of kings and con mons alike.

_DIr. George B. Cutten, president ofColgate University, in an address atthat institution severely criticizedtile attitude of the modern student,saying that although parents frequent-ly make sacrifices of everything butthe bare necessities of life the chil-dren are satisfied wvithl a minimumof education.

The most puzzling enigma of pres-enit-day education in the opinion ofDr. Cutten, is that the four yearsdevoted to a college education areregarded as a vacation to be inter-rupted with serious study as seldomas possible. "Indeed, they seem re-solvoed to get the least possible re-

.turn for the money and time theyare spending," he stated.."The modern student is not so re-solved as to get his money's worthout of his instructors. In formertimes pl of essors attracted studentsfrom all parts of the country andw-ere forced by the students to givethe best of their services for their

;salary, dollar for dollar."A.B. Degree is Recomomendation

Speaking, of the value of a degreefrom a college of liberal arts, thehead of Colgate University said thatsuch a degree serves as a recommen-dation, bl~lt that it does not serve asa 1gular antee of success. He did notmention the value that a degree froma technical school has for the re-cipient.

After a year or so in bulsiness, somego aeuates of liberal arts colleges arecl iticized as having, a lack of intel-lectual funds, wvhichl means that theyhav e no credit despite their degreesand potential powver. "It signifiesthat their four years at college wereidled away and their chief concernwvas to evade the wrork assigned."

A professor at the University ofColorado has adopted the plan of mov-inlg the entire class to another roomwhlen one member falls asleep. Hesays this is done so that the entireclass wvill not be disturbed. The sleep-ing person is given a cut when theroll is taken at the end of the hour.-CoI nel1 Daily Sunl.

At a washing cost of one and onehalf cents apiece, the total cost oflaundering the towels used in the phy-sical education department at PennState is sufficient to purchase twoFords. This number is a weekly av-erage of 2000.

Penn State now allows its co-edsthe privilege of being in fraternityhouses until 10 o'clock when thereare no social futnctions.

The sports managers at the 'Uni-Xversity oif California have formed a"Ball and Chain Club" for the purposeof creating better feeling among thewater boys and blanket carriers.

For th e first time in the historyof the institution, co-eds at DuquesneUniversity were given activity awardsthis year.

Harvard and Yale have contributedOne-sevenlth of the college graduateslisted in "Who's Who in America."

A life saving course is being of-fered at the Upiversity of Virginia.

bIany features heretofore unseen inWalker Memorial will mark the Tech-nology Catholic Club's Spring FormalDance this evening. The innovationsinclude decorations, "acquaintancedances," and a no-cutting-in rule.

First is a change in the decorativescheme. Instead of having the dancecommittee meet during the week andargue about trivial matters, PresidentJohn A. Finnerty '32 has instructedthe committee to meet in Walker thisafternoon and utilize its "hot air" forinflating 388 balloons. These balloonswill cover the entire ceiling in a tent-like canopy, small openings being leftfor the vari-colored crystal ball.

Two or three so-called "acquaint-ance dances" will constitute the sec-ond feature. They will be conductedwith all of the lights in Walker Me-morial turrled on. This action is takenin answer to the numerous complaintsmade in the past that "Walker dancesare O. K., only you can't see who isthere."

Art Marshall -will furnishi the ten-piece band which played so success-fully for the Dormitory LightweightDance r ecently. In order to discour-age stags and the ancient custom of"crashing," a no-cutting-in rule hasbeen instituted. Dancing will con-tinue from 9 until 2 o'clock with ashort intermission at 12 o'clock forthe serving of refreslments. Ticketsmay be obtained today in the MainLobby from 11 to 2 o'clock and atIthe door tonight at $2.50 a couple.
